ACT ONE,
SCENE TWO
(Shot shows Uche closing the door of his car. A close-medium shot shows him turning around, bringing out his phone from his pocket, sending a message to a contact named Isu on Tweeter, then opening the boot to take a towel from it. Based on this shot/scene, Uche looks freshened up, dressed to go out. Uche closes his car boot where things are packed, and we see Orie behind him.)

Orie

Orie, it's...
ORIE

Ogba hates to talk about this kind of thing with me, but I'm not blind Uche.

UCHE...but, but, I think it will work. I hope it will. You know what? Give me till evening, if my plan doesn't work, we will empty your savings. Besides, Ogba asked for a little more time
