{Louis' house}
{Bryan is squatting with Louis. He is fast asleep on the bed beside Louis}

Louis: Bryan? {meditatively} Bryan? {glances over at him, throws a shoe at him}
Bryan: {gives a start} Who? {looks at Louis} Oh
Louis: I need to talk, well, ask some questions really.
Bryan: Oh God, so that's why you woke me up?
Louis: What's the highest thing you can do for love?
Bryan: For any girl other than Kayla, I can catch a grenade.
Louis: Oh, for Chrissake Bryan.
Bryan: What? You know she doesn't like me and I don't like her either.
Louis: {sighs} I went to see The Don today.
Bryan: What for?
Louis: You push drugs for him?
Bryan: {shrugs} Yeah, the pay is worth it.
Louis: Aren't you scared of getting caught?
Bryan: Pushing dugs is a risk, my friend, just like everything else in this life. And so what? Will I lose out the opportunity of not making money because of the fear of being caught?
Louis: Humph.
Bryan: Now, if that's about everything....goodnight.

{The Studio, Bathroom}
{Kayla puts on the swimsuit and stares at her reflection in the mirror. She feels faint and falls onto the next girl coming in, Debra}

Debra: {holds on to her} Hey! You okay?
Kayla: {stands up straight} Um...yeah, I'm fine.
Debra: {admires her outfit} You look nice; the swimsuit fits you perfectly.
Kayla: It does?
Debra: Duh. Even Lenora couldn't pull it of better.
Kayla: Who's Lenora? {Lenora enters}
Lenora: Oh, I see. Dumb Debra is making some new friends.
Debra: Lenora....
Lenora: With the newbie. That's rich. {at Kayla} And your outfit looks horrible. You look like a pork in it. You know, if I were you, I wouldn't bother showing my face, looking like THAT, urgh! {walks out}
Debra: Ignore. That's her specialty-making people feel bad about themselves.
Kayla: No, it doesn't bother me. But, you should stand up to her. "Dumb Debra?" What a b1tch, no?
Debra: Well...everyone here thinks i'm dumb.
Kayla: Why's that?
Debra: I'm not as educated as the other girls.
Kayla: You're here for the money too?
Debra: Not necessarily. I want the title and the fame. Plus...that's what my Dad wants most in the world.
Kayla: Your Dad?
Debra: Uh huh.
{Ms. Clara walks in}
Ms. Clara: Well, well, well, what do we have here?
Kayla: A nosy woman interrupting our conversation.
Ms. Clara: Your kind isn't welcome here, Ms. Kayla. Take off that outfit.
Kayla: Luke welcomes my kind, that's what matters.
Ms. Clara: You're a disgrace to modelling.
Kayla: Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted.
Ms. Clara: Photoshoot session is in 5. {leaves}
Debra: But, how do you deal with all that negativity?
Kayla: It's a long story-one I shall bore you with later.
Debra: {chuckles} You ready?
Kayla: Few minutes ago, I wasn't so sure; but with 'encouragrement' from those two, I know I'm ready to do this.
Debra: Let's not waste any more time then.

Debra: {admiringly} You were AMAZING!
Kayla: Thanks! {smiles}
Debra: You're a natural at this.
{Luke walks towards her}

Luke: Here's your pay-check, Kayla. For a job well done.
Kayla: {surprised} My pay check?
Debra: Yes. Kayla. Each model who performs excellently at each photo shoot session is given a paycheck.
Kayla: 20k? Thank you so much, Sir.
Luke: You can thank me when you're crowned, dearest. {he leaves}
Debra: Oh, there's our tailor. The one in charge of all our costumes-Mr. Stan. {The tailor approaches the two girls}

Mr. Stan: {shoves glasses to the bridge of his nose} Someone's new here, I see.
Kayla: Kayla, the name.
Mr. Stan: {stares at her body} Can I make bikinis this BIG?
Debra: She's not THAT big.
Kayla: I'm not big at all.
Mr. Stan: {slaps her right leg} Lose that.
Kayla: You want me to be skin and bones?
Mr. Stan: Skeleton and bones, preferrably. {brings out a tape to measure her tummy} Too wide; Lose that too.
Debra: It's probably because of her hips.
Mr. Stan: Lose that.
Kayla: Lose the hips? What is this guy-crazy? {Debra gasps}
Mr. Stan: You can lose the dream of ever being crowned MBGN. {leaves}
kayla: Wow. {Alex walks towards her}
Alex: You look good.
Debra: {smiles} Me?
Alex: No, the one with the hips. {Kayla groans} Can you give us a minute please?
Debra: Of course. Excuse me. {leaves}
Kayla: I see you have this effect on the ladies.
Alex: I'm tryna have that same effect on you. What are my chances-slim?
Kayla: VERY slim.
Alex: What do I have to do then?
Kayla: For starters, you could keep your distance.
Alex: But I don't want to stay away from this excessively beautiful lady.

The Don: Well...I don't know. But certainly, she does know me. Maybe she saw no need for you to familiarise yourself with me.
Chioma: And now?
The Don: Well, your sister's run away from home....
Chioma: Kayla didn't run away
The Don: Well, she isn't carrying out her responsibilities.
Chioma: You don't know my sister.
The Don: Oh, I do. Enough to know she's trouble....and she's not smart.
Chioma: Kayla IS smart!
The Don: A smart girl will take up the offer to pageant.
Chioma: Kayla's different; but I do know one thing for sure. Kayla believes in family. She believes in love.
The Don: And what if I told you we can make enough money to take you to a private school?
Chioma: What? No way
the Don: Yes way. Kayla's not the only one to grant your wishes.
Chioma: But how's that possible?
The Don: I'll show you the ropes, honey. Nnenna! {Nnenna comes in} She's ready. I'll wait in the bedroom. {he leaves}
Chioma: {excitedly} Mom, did you hear that- we can make enough money for me to go to school in less than an hour!

Nnenna: Kayla, I can explain
Kayla: Save it for the birds

Chioma: {shocked} Kayla-
Kayla: {to Chioma} Let's go {grabs her by the arm}
Chioma: Where to?
Nnenna: Kayla, please...
Kayla: One more word; just one more word Nnenna, and you'd be spending the rest of your miserable life behind bars. {to The Don} And you, you should be ashamed of yourself. This is a girl you could father, you imp!

Chioma: Kayla, I don't understand
Kayla: Get on the bike, dear. I'll explain later. {Chioma leaves for the bike} You should leave now

Kayla: Oh....he's not.
Ego: Well, leave then.
Chioma: {groans; out of frustration} We have no place to stay!
Ego: {laughs mockingly} Oh sweetie, that is NONE of my business. This tramp isn't married to my son, so that isn't his responsibility. {shudders} Thank God.
Kayla: Let's go honey. I won't stand here and be insulted by this woman.
Ego: Your being alive is an insult to womanhood. {bangs the door}

Chioma: I don't get it. Why doesn't she like you?
Kayla: Honey, not everybody likes Kayla. And that's a good thing.
Chioma: But how can she not? You're the sweetest thing alive.
Kayla: Thanks darling.
Chioma: Why did you say it was a good thing?
Kayla: Well, if everyone liked me, it would mean I was doing something wrong.
Chioma: Something wrong like-?
Kayla: Well...pleasing them all.
Chioma: Is pleasing everyone a bad thing?
Kayla: Yes honey; just be yourself. And if they don't like it, that's their business, not yours.

Louis: Mom, what is this? You have no right-
Ego: And you have NO manners. You're just coming home. At least give your mother a proper welcome.
Louis: Let them stay here, Mother.

Louis: Well, I can and I will. Kayla, Chioma; go in. {They both enter cheesy }
Ego: Louis, you are absolutely crazy. You're letting a cheap prosstitute stay at our dignified home.
Louis: {shocked} Mother! That is the girl I love and she is no prosstitute.

Kayla: You mean, if you SLEEP with them.
Ms. Clara: Do not talk vulgar at the table.

Kayla: {stumbles into the nearby chair, shaken}
Louis: Oh, my Mom was right.
Kayla: Your Mom too?
Louis: You sold your body to that idiiot for money?
Kayla: Gbemi told you that?
Louis: It's true, isn't it?
Kayla: Louis, you don't understand.
Louis: My Mom was SO right about you.
Kayla: Louis, let me explain.
Louis: Kayla, I believed in you....
Kayla: It didn't happen like that, I swear. Just let me explain.
Louis: {sigh} Just save it.
Kayla: It was my Mom, Lou...
Louis: Kayla, just stop!
Kayla: {surprised} You don't believe me?
Louis: You confessed it yourself.
Kayla: It was beyond my control, Louis.
Louis: I went to see The Don. The basstard had the nerve to bloat about him hitting it first - "since the age of 12 and till infinity"
Kayla: {chokes back sobs} You don't believe me. What's the point? {stands up} Where's Chioma?
Louis: I'll go get her {leaves}
Kayla: {dials Alex's number with his card} Alex? I need your help.
Alex: Are you okay?
Kayla: {sniffles} I've felt better.

{Chineme and Sons Limited Company}
{Gbemi walks into her mother's office}

Secretary: {rushes in after Gbemi} Ma'am, I tried to stop her, she wouldn't....
Gbemi: If you want to keep your job, I suggest you leave now. {The secretary is dazed}
Susan: She is my daughter, Linda.
Linda: Oh, {to Gbemi} Sorry Ma'am. {exits}
Gbemi: {sighs} Incompetent Arrow. {sits down} You know, I almost thought you wouldn't recognize me.
Susan: {chuckles} Gbemi, you are my daughter; surgery or no. And I must say, you look absolutely....
Gbemi: Flawless; Flawless is the word, Mother. A hundred and one times better than any of those starved models.
Susan: You went to the studio?
Gbemi: It's the reason I had surgery done. It's only normal I go take a look at my competition.
Susan: And?
Gbemi: Do you really need to ask, Mom? I am way better.
Susan: Better than even....Kayla?
Gbemi: {rolls eyes} And the comparison goes on and on.
Susan: No, don't get me wrong, Gbemi. I want you to win, only then can you take over my company.
Gbemi: The crown is mine already, Mom.
Susan: I am relieved to hear that.
Gbemi: {stands up} And...I changed my name.
Susan: Why's that?
Gbemi: So that stvpid Kayla won't come running after me.
Susan: {studies her countenance} You sound bitter.
Gbemi: Bitter is an understatement, Mother. I hate that Kayla of a girl and I want to destroy her.
Susan: {surprised} But...I thought you two were friends.
Gbemi: WHAT friends? She had everything I had-Louis, a great body, an opportunity to pageant....
Susan: Wait a minute-Louis?
Gbemi: Yes, Louis. I have always loved him since we were kids, you know that.
Susan: I do, but I thought your childish infatuation would have died off by now.
Gbemi: It is not infatuation, Mother. I love Louis.
Susan: He is a wretched pauper...and Kayla's boyfriend too.
Gbemi: People become poor to rich from one day to the next. Why can't Louis? {sits down} And about him being Kayla's-Pfft! He'd have to be a fool to not break up with her after what I told him today.
Susan: And what would that be?
Gbemi: {smiles} Kayla is a low-class prosstitute. She sold her body to The Don for his money.
Susan: {shocked} What? No way!
Gbemi: {laughs} She told me herself. You can ask her if you doubt. Or better still, ask The Don. He'll give you the GRAPHIC details. {chuckles}
Susan: My God.
Gbemi: Yeah...Kayla, the wh.ore. That's some piece of news, huh?
Susan: If so, how come she's still poor?
Gbemi: {laughs} Mother! You don't know Kayla, at all. You probably think someone gave her that bike as charity or her 3 square meals.
Susan: Well, that's her business, not ours. You shouldn't have involved Louis.
Gbemi: Well I did, and now she's out of his heart and life. Guess who's gonna be making an entry now? {grins}
Susan: Gbemi, don't.
Gbemi: And who's gonna stop me-you? {stands up} You want an heiress for your little company, don't you? {silence}
Smart answer. {walks out}
