Run away.

Gwen

Then you need a psycho evaluation before its to late.

Tasha

Gwen

TashaNot really she is just unbelievable. She wants to run my

Whole life!like what I wear, what I watch on tv,even who

I have to hang out with.am just sick of it.

About you.by the time I left everybody was mocking me.

For you.

Lukundo

Mathematical equations.

Brenda

Clothes.hes got a wife, a girlfriend and on top of that he

Wants a mistress.what is it they really want.

Tasha

Period.

Gwen,

Curious

Married person

Brenda

And is there any problem with that.

Gwen

Halo every thing is wrong,how can some one in their right

Might go out with a married person,ethically and morally

Its not right.

Some ones home.how would you feel if some one did that to

You.

Brenda

Whats the big deal, all I know is that nothing tastes better

Than the forbidden fruit.

Moses

All born again thing is comfusing, I dont even know

Where I stand.

SHE TURNS TO FACE HIM

Ever

Oh now I see what this is all about. I thought you

Understood Moses, sex is not what is going to make

Our relationship stronger, its about love, respect

And commitment to each other. Sex is such a sacred

Thing that is why it is reserved for the marriage bed

And I cant just give it away, not any more

Moses

See where the problem is. Its always about you and what you

Want, does it ever occur to you that ive got needs of my own.

PLANNING ON HAVING,ON THE BOARD THEY HAVE NAMES AND SOME OF THE

ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL BE TAKING PLACE,

Monica

Ok I think we have every thing covered everything on the

Agenda, what else is needed.

Amos

We just have to look into hiring a proper pa system coz

The one we have is not dependable.

Monica

Any ideas of how much that will cost, just bare in mind that

The school will have to approve, before they give out any

Money.

Amos

Ill look around and see how much it will cost us.

Monica

Great, anything else just remember that the purpose of

This function is to encourage positive living and behavior

Change amongst the pupils, it has to be entertaining as

Well as educative, in short who ever is participating

Should have a positive message and I think this will be

The best opportunity to get more students in the(psu)

Julius

So any one can register?

Amos

As long as they have a positive message and they pay the

Participating fee.

Ever

So is it only restricted to music, or they can be other

Things?


10/29

Monica

Its music, drama talking about aids, abstainance, crime

Drugs things like that or even poetry, dance as long as its

Educative and positive that. Is the main emphasis. We even

Come we can do our own bikiloni and difficult (the class laughs)

So you guys should carry on with the word of mouth, am sure

Frustrating life should be when you are miserable and

Alone..

Bosco

Bosco

You know me. The usual poison will do

Jaylo

Thats a relief; at least one of us is having a good day

(While preparing the drink) business should be smooth

Bosco

Not as smooth as I would like it to be, but at least money is

Coming in. hows the club doing ive seen so many changes.

Good, they are really bad.

Off course I did. Time its true surely changes every thing

One moment you are smiling the next you are in tears. Thats

Time.

HESITATION, SHE FINALLY GIVES IN.

I dont know I really miss him, but he has just taken this

Whole thing badly.

Gwen

What do you mean?

Ever

He doesnt want to talk to me. Its like I dont even exist

Any more. All because of my stupid pride.

Gwen

No man will respect you, if you have got no pride in your

Self.

Ever

I lost the only guy who cared about me.


14/29

Gwen. Cuts in

Are you even listening to your self, if Moses loved you or

Even cared about you like you say he would have respected

Your decision. His behavior only goes to prove he never

Cared about you and sleeping with him would have only madeIt worse, you did the right thing.

Ever

I pushed him away. If only I wasnt too rigid and old

Fashioned we still be together,

Gwen

Seriously

So what? You think sleeping with him could have stopped him

Chasing other skirts. You showed guts and character that isWhat a real woman should do.

Ever

And what did that do apart from leaving me heart broken

Heart. And its not like I was giving away my birth right

Its just sex.

AS SHE ANSWERS BOSCO.

Jaylo

Calmly

The church people believe that this club is the reason most

Young people are misbehaving, that we promote drugs and

Prostitution, they know that we sell drugs and alcohol to

Minors. In short they dont want us around coz we are the agents


15/29

Of the devil.

Bosco

But this club has been here for a long time. I mean you have

The right just those same churches.

Jaylo

Sighs deeply

Am afraid its more complicated than that. Remember last year

My license was temporarily taken. Because the D.E.C people

Found 3 kilos of dagga with my door bouncer, last month I

Barely escaped with a fine, my bar man was caught selling

Beer to under age, kids. All that is well documented. Its

All piling up, just last weekend girl collapsed, she nearly

Died. Drug over dose.

AS SHE GETS A LITTLE CLOSER TO BOSCO WHO IS JUST ATTENTIVE,SHE

TAKES A COUPLE OF SIPS FROM HER BRANDY AND LIGHTS ANOTHER CIGARATE

Jaylo

Beat

Have you ever had a tumor that just grows and grows?

Bosco

No.

Jaylo

Take it from me its very annoying.coz no matter what you do

Or where you are it will still be there tormenting you and

If you dont remove it fast it will keep eating you.

BOSCO LISTERNS ON AS JAYLO CONTINUES.

Jaylo. Cont, d

With such things the operation should be done by an expert

Who is not scared to cut, some one precise. Coz any slight

Mistake in the cut. Will make it grow bigger and worse. The

Other complication is that you cant do it yourself.

SHE THEN SITS AT THE HEDGE LIKE ALWAYS, JUST A COUPLE OF INCHES

FROM BOSCO.

Bosco


16/29

But dont you know of any good doctor who can cut that, that

Tumor.

Jaylo

Stifles a smile

That is just a figure of speech; I meant to say that I needSomeone taken care of you know what I mean.

Bosco

Deep thought

You mean kill take care or scare take care of?

Just think about it, from the time the parcel went missing

I,ve never seen him looking bothered or worried for that

Matter,look at him there going on like nothing is wrong.

Chanda

Am not saying its impossible, but I also know him enough to

Say he didnt steal the parcel


19/29

Moses

I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing, you saw

How bosco reacted when we got the money without him giving

It to us. We worked for that money, now imagine what he will

Do. When he finds out that we lost the money.

TEA,WHILE THE OTHERS ARE HAVING SOFTIES.

So like I was saying we just have to give these kids a

Chance;show them that we care that is what will help

Them change.

Mr. Mwenda

There is no way that any of these kids can change,regardless

Of how much love or care you give them.they will forever be

Violent, arrogant and disrespectful.

Monica

We need to get them involved in behavior change activities

There is always a way.

Mr Bwalya

I wonder why we keep having this.conversation. cos no one

In this room can say they have never had an encounter with

Any of those pupils in question.all we have to do is get

Them expelled and forget.

Monica

So thats your solution, expel them and forget.

Mr Bwalya

Do you have a better idea.

Monica

These kids are lost,all they are doing is trying to find

Themselves.pushing them out of this environment will only

Cause more harm than good.

Mr mwenda

This kids are out of order,I would rather they leave the

School than end up with a stub on my back or a screw driver

In my eye.bafana aba they are out control.

MonicaAll they need is hope!

Bwalya.cuts in

What they need is prison.

Monica

You made a promise to give your time to educate pupils

mr Bwalya

I know what I promised and this is not it. Why should I

Waste my time trying to change people who dont want toChange.they are kids in this school who needs help and

They are willing to co_operate. It is those good kids

Who need time and hope, not these embasiles.

Monica

So thats it, you just gonna quit on them like that

Mr. Bwalya

They quit on themselves, coz they dont care,

There parents dont care, society doesnt care, why

Should I. to be honest ive got better things to do

With my time.

Mr. Mwenda

I just cant seem to understand. What is it about any of

These unruly kids. Which makes you think they deserve to

Be cared for. Because honestly speaking. They have not

Done one good thing worth of letting them stay in school

Another day.

Mr. Bwalya

These idiots have caused more trouble in one term to last

For a life times also wonder, why you of all the members

Of stuff can still support them.

Monica

Maybe its because some of us have got hearts of flesh and

Not of stone, excuse me ive got pupils waiting.
