INSIDE THE lust-ful li-pS PRIVATE
CLUB.
It is night. The club is full. An all-
girl music band is playing. The
five women in the band are
wearing just G-Strings, n—-e
tas-sels, white stockings and
black long-heeled shoes.
Girls wearing only pa-nties are
dancing in glas-s booths around
the interior. Some well-dressed
men are around the booths,
watching the women and
dropping cedi notes into the
booths when the women dance
dirty.
On the dance floor couples are
dancing lewdly.
There is a long bar with tall bar
stools where men and women
are sitting and drinking.
There are also glas-s-topped
tables and chairs where
expensively-dressed people are
sitting, eating and drinking.
The waitresses who are serving
are wearing tiny white skirts and
white Br@s, and their bodies are
young, firm and s-×y.
Sitting inside the interior, in one
corner, are Steve Hollison and
Jonathan Afful.
Steve is still in his suit, but Afful
has taken off his coat and
loosened his tie. The first three
bu-ttons on his white shirt are
unbu-ttoned. Steve is drinking
wine, whilst Jonathan is eating
lamb chops and spicy duck meat
and washing that down with
chilled vodka.
Steve sighs and pours more
Baron de Campos into his
tumbler. He uses a long metallic
palette to scoop little chunks of
ice into the glas-s. He picks up the
drink, swirls it round for a while,
stares into it morosely, and puts
it back down with a great sigh.
Afful laughs and almost chokes
on a ju-icy lamb chop.
AFFUL
(wiping tears from his eyes)
My God, Stevo, why are you
acting like you screwed the
V¡rgin Mary? Man, youre not the
first dude to screw a woman and
her cousin. Get over it, man!
STEVE
You have done worse before,
right? Youve messed with a
family before, right?
AFFUL
(shaking his head and still
chuckling)
Yep! You know how I play, dude.
Was a time, shortly before I
married Eyram, when I played a
divorced woman and her two
daughters!
STEVE
(smiling wanly)
For real?
AFFUL
For real, man. When they found
out they kicked me out, but to
hell with them, I played them.
Even wanted to add the
grandmother, but I saw she had
fake teeth, and her b-oobs
stretched from her che-st to her
knees and her a-s was like an
untarred road. What the hell, I
ran for my dear life!
The two of them laugh very ha-rd,
and then Steve drinks half of his
wine.
STEVE
(sadly)
But I hurt Effe bad, bro. There I
was, intensely making love to
Elaine, and suddenly Effe is there,
looking at me! Lord, the pain on
her face killed me, bro. And when
I went to her at her Dads place,
her raw pain cut me so bad! Im
not like you, Jon. I love Effe, I love
her with all my d–n heart!
AFFUL
Yeah, so love her. No one is
saying you shouldnt love her, but
she got to un-derstand shes
barren. She couldnt get a belly
bulge, and so you got one, not
with an outsider, but with her
family member. Sure, shes gonna
hurt, but she got to settle down
and let you make it up to her
somehow!
STEVE
My God, Jon, youre d–n
disgusting! You dont have a
heart! Effe came to me pure and
unblemished. She hadnt been
with any other man but me. She
has sustained our marriage,
made sacrifices for me, taken
care of me, and been there for
me all the time. I betrayed her,
man. I broke her divine heart,
and theres no way I can atone
for what Ive done to her!
AFFUL
But shes barren , bro. In the end
thats all that matters! She cant
give you kids, her cousin can.
Simple. End of debate.
Steve drains his tumbler and sets
it down. With angry gestures he
scoops ice into the tumbler and
pours the last bit of wine into it.
STEVE
No, thats not all that matters. If I
had been sterile, Effe wouldnt
have turned her back on me and
gotten pregnant with another
man. I did her wrong, man. Ive
got to find her, beg her not to
leave me.
A waitress approaches their table
and puts a plate of steaming
as-sorted noodles in front of Afful.
Afful leans back and runs his
hand up her nak-ed thi-ghs and
un-der her short skirt. She giggles
and leans forward so that Afful
can fondle her n—–s with his
free hand.
WAITRESS
Ohhhhh, Mr. Jon! Dont be
nau-ghty!
Afful pushes a Twenty Ghana
Cedi note into the wai-st band of
her skirt, and she leans forward
to nibb-le his right ear and to
thank him in a s-×y voice. She
walks away wriggling her tiny
bu-ttocks.
STEVE
(indignantly)
My God, Jon! Is that all you think
of? S-x, s-x, s-x? That girl could be
your own daughter!
AFFUL
But she’s not, dude, shes not. The
younger the ti-ghter, the sweeter,
so goes the Players Jingle. But
back to you, what about Elaine?
You dont love her? Youre gonna
abandon her? Shes carrying your
son, dude! She also deserves
better!
STEVE
(sighing and ru-b-bing his face
wearily)
Elaine was an adrenaline rush,
man. I dont know what came
over me, and of course once it
began maybe the thrill of the
forbidden kept it exciting, but
seeing Effe like that, seeing her
pain, seeing how much I hurt
her…it was too much. I cant
forget that! And I dont know
how Im gonna make her trust
me again.
AFFUL
Youre stressing yourself over
nothing, Stevo. Men cheat. Its a
story of old. Some are lucky and
never get caught, but ALL men
cheat. You were unfortunate to
get caught, but Effe gotta
un-derstand that! Sometimes out
of evil comes good things. Now
youre gonna have a kid, and your
folks wouldnt worry Effe so
much, and you two can
concentrate on your marriage. So
you see, win-win situation for all,
except Elaine, of course.
STEVE
Goddamn it, Jon! Isnt that a bit
too cliche? Would you
un-derstand it if your wife cheats
on you?
AFFUL
Nonsense, why should I
un-derstand that? She dares cheat
on me, Ill kill her!
Steve shakes his head in
exasperation.
STEVE
So why the hell do you want Effe
to un-derstand me? Women feel
pain too, just like us, and we
should protect their hearts! Thats
the essence of love!
AFFUL
(leaning forward in earnest)
Bullshit, who told you women
feel pain? They can withstand
pain, more than us! Look at
childbirth! How many men can
stand the pain of having a baby
pulled out of their di-cks? My God,
men would go crazy if they go
throu-ghlabour pains! Listen,
women are like honey flowers,
and men are like bees. A bee can
go from flower to flower to take
nectar for sweet honey, but a
flower that flies in the air from
bee to bee would be cut down
and burnt, because thats
unnatural and an abomination!
STEVE
(smiling and shaking his head)
That is a totally selfish way of
looking at things, Jon!
AFFUL
Selfish? Did you say selfish? D–n
it, Stevo, that is the absolute
truth. A man can marry two
wives, but a woman with two
husband would be an
abomination. Now, throw in this
angle…do you know the Bible
says theres gonna be a time
when seven women would take
one man as husband? Have you
heard that quotation ever?
STEVE
(with a little laugh)
Yeah, I have, but obviously youre
gonna misrepresent that
quotation to suit your perverse
and selfish inclinations, Jon.
AFFUL
(taking a long swallow of his
drink and Ban-ging down the
tumbler)
Misrepresent my a-s! Just wanna
draw your attention to a simple
computation of that Biblical
statement. Seven women to one
man, and now do you know
what is happening?
STEVE
Tell me.
AFFUL
ga-ys! Those homos-×uals are
messing up the equation. You
see, when two men fall in love
that means FOURTEEN WOMEN
are without men, because the
Bible says seven women to a
man, right! Add that fourteen to
your seven, and what it means is
that every man should have at
least TWENTY-ONE women,
because the more men become
homos, the more women are left
behind. So, my friend, you’re
entitled to seven women, and
fourteen more if you know some
ga-ys. So, if you made love to only
your wife’s cousin, you still have
twenty more women to attack.
Steve bursts into laughter so
ha-rd that he spilt some of his
drink.
STEVE
Jesus, Jon. You’re one crazy fool!
That’s simply the worst
chauvinistic statement I’ve ever
heard!
AFFUL
Just giving you a simple an-alogy,
bro. You’ve started a d–n
revolution. All men nee-d to
emulate you. If I should have my
way, Id advice any man to marry
all the unmarried women in a
family when he goes out to find
a wife. Imagine getting married
to three sisters and their cousins.
You would end up with,
hopefully, a mixture of fair, dark,
short, tall, slim, fat, medium,
beautiful, ugly women who are
related and un-derstand each
other. No more excuse to cheat
because you have a fine d–n
collection of women in your bed.
It would solve a lot of the
problems in the world. So, don’t
stress yourself. If you love Effe,
stay with her and let Elaine have
your baby. If Effe can’t
un-derstand that, kick her out!
STEVE
(shaking his head)
You’ve never been faithful to
Eyram, have you, Jon?
Afful looks Steve in the eyes and
speaks softly but with great
conviction.
AFFUL
I can NEVER be faithful to ANY
woman.
Steve pushes back his chair and
stands up.
STEVE
I’m rolling out, Bro. Gotta find a
solution to my mess.
AFFUL
Good night then. Ill stay a while.
There is a new Chinese woman
upstairs Im going to roll with
her. I paid a lot of money for her,
time to get my moneys worth.
Bed tumble, bro! I hear the
Chinese girls are super in bed,
you know, Kung Fu style and all!
Steve laughs again and takes out
his wallet, but Afful shakes his
head.
AFFUL
I’ve this tab covered, bro. Go
home, but remember, don’t let
this stress you out. Everything
shows Effe can’t give you babies.
If Elaine is capable, just explain it
to Effe, and if she still fails to get
the point, show her the red card
and stay with Elaine.
Steve puts on his coat and sighs.
He tries to speak, hesitates,
shakes his head and turns away.
He takes two steps, stops, and
turns.
STEVE
(speaks softly)
I wish I can see things the way
you see them, Jon, but I cant. I
love Effe that much. And Ill always
love her. Goodnight, and good
luck with the Chinese a-s.
AFFUL
Go to he’ll, bro!
