Anne: ‘Amebo, what are you guys talking about me for?’

Felicia: ‘We were talking about you not been here and wondering if you had changed your mind about coming.’

Anne: ‘How can I change my mind when it is not as if we see every day? Just four times in a month and you think I will skip it?’ She asked as she sat down.

Patricia: ‘So because I am managing, I should look unkempt and not look good for my husband abi?!’

Chidi: ‘Wow! Kingsley, you want to settle down? Unbelievable!’

Kingsley: ‘What is unbelievable about that?’

Chidi: ‘I never thought you will ever want to settle down.’

Kingsley: ‘Why do you say so?’

Chidi: ‘All the girls you have been dating, you never mentioned settling down with any. What makes you even say you want to settle down now?’

Kingsley: ‘ Probably because I may have found the one.’

Chidi: ‘Wow! And you didn’t tell me, who is she?’

Kingsley: ‘Kristine.’

Chidi: ‘Who is Kristine?’

Kingsley: ‘The girl I met at the club two weeks ago.’
Chidi: ‘Don’t tell me Kristine, the club girl is the person you want to settle down with.’

Kingsley: ‘I think she is the one for me…..’

Chidi: ‘Why do you think Kristine is the woman for you?’

Kingsley: ‘She is beautiful, attractive and down to earth. Just because she clubs doesn’t give you any right to judge her!’

Chidi: ‘I am not judging her, it’s just that there are some weird things about her that seems strange.’

Kingsley: ‘Why, what is the strange thing about her?’

Chidi: ‘There was a time I learnt she can’t keep a man.’

Kingsley: ‘What do you mean she can’t keep a man?!’
