ROSETTE

Act 1,Scene 4

(In the hostel)

Tiwa: Orente, I cooked porridge.

Orente: I'm not eating.

Tiwa: Why now?

Orente: I'm not eating. Is it by force?

Tiwa: You're still angry at me. I've told you I'm sorry.

Orente: When I want to forgive you, I will forgive you.

Tiwa: It's okay. By the way, Mr. Ariyo said I should tell you to see him.

Orente: Oooh.

Tiwa: Anything?

Orente: I'm sure it's about the test. I failed again.

Tiwa: Eyah.

Orente: I did not ask for your pity.

Tiwa: He probably wants to give you a makeup test; that's why he asked to see you.

Orente: I did not ask for your comment.

Tiwa: Orente, I can see a Lexus car downstairs. It's for you, right?

Orente: Obviously!

Tiwa: You see, Orente, I'm sorry. I was only trying to talk to you.

Orente: You don't know how to talk. That's not how to talk.

Tiwa: I know, I know. I'm learning how to talk. I don't know, anytime I talk, people get angry. It's just that I love telling people the truth and there is no nice way about it. I am sorry all the same.

Orente: I've heard you.

Tiwa: Have you forgiven me?

Orente; I said I will forgive you when I want to forgive you. (Receives a call)Okay, I'm coming downstairs for the pizza.

Tiwa: You are eating pizza today again?

Orente: My dad sent something to my account for pizza.

Tiwa: Orente, why don't you open a fixed deposit account and be saving your money there. In fact...

Orente: Your business?

Tiwa: Sorry.

Orente: The money is there to spend. If rapture comes tomorrow, will I take money to heaven?

Tiwa: Sorry.

Orente: I didn't fall; stop telling me sorry.
