19. SSEKA: (AMUSED) Does he think he will go
back to being a baby once again, so that
they can fit him as they once did...Your
wife’s kindness really warms my heart.
Frankly, I was at a loss to know what to
do.
20. NSUB: I say, shouldn’t they be discharging your
wife soon, since she did not have any
complications
21. SSEKA: They will discharge her either today or
tomorrow, which is why I am here today.
22. NSUB: Do you want me to help you fetch her
from the hospital
23. SSEKA: (AMUSED) That, too... But the real
reason I am here, is more serious than
that. (LOWERING HIS VOICE) I,
Ssekalegga, your brother, am in big
problems.
24. NSUB: What kind of problems
25. SSEKA: I have to go to hospital to take these
clothes and then from there, I have to
board a taxi to go to Nkwekwe.
26. NSUB: Nkwekwe Is there a problem there
27. SSEKA: You could say that. But, let us leave that
problem aside for the time being, because
that is not the main reason why I came
today.
28. NSUB: So what is the main problem
29. SSEKA: (LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY) I don’t know
how to begin... I feel quite embarrassed.
30. NSUB: How come
31. SSEKA: (LAUGHINGLY NERVOUSLY) Don’t
rush me...Let me first tell you a little
story, to illustrate the situation, then I
shall come to the point...a long time ago...
32. NSUB: Yes
33. SSEKA: in our neighborhood...
34. NSUB: Go on.
35. SSEKA: there was a man called Eriya...
36. NSUB: And
Does this story add to the excitement or the
tension of the scene or does it slow it down
Does it reveal something of Sseka’s or
Nsubuga’s’s character
