202 Chapter Thirteen: The Value of Editing Konoweeka Page 3 of 10 Episode #8 Draft: #11 Writer: Kiyingi October 1996 37. SSEKA: (LAUGHING) Will you stop interrupting me like that 38. NSUB: (JOKINGLY) How do you want me to interrupt you 39. SSEKA: (JOKINGLY) Not more than is necessary. (BOTH LAUGH) In that village, everybody was preparing for Christmas. Those who had not had meat in a long time planned to buy it on the day....You may punctuate my narration now...(LAUGHS) 40. NSUB: (LAUGHING) All right...Go on! 41. SSEKA: People used to eat the ears of animals. 42. NSUB: (INTERRUPTING) You mean the thighs. 43. SSEKA: (AMUSED) That’s right....So there is this small man, Eriya Wakyasi who lived alone in his house, and yet, every Christmas he would also buy a whole thigh of cow. (LAUGH) Then, one Christmas Eriya had to get meat on credit because he had not been prepared, and therefore had no money. Unfortunately, Luka the butcher, refused to give Eriya meat on credit, saying that Eriya should have been better organized. You can imagine the look on Eriya’s face. (LAUGH) I tell you, Sir, that if he had meat that Christmas, it was at the neighbor’s house. 44. NSUB: (AMUSED) There was no smell of roasting meat. 45. SSEKA: (AMUSED) Exactly. (LAUGHS, THEN SOBERS UP) And now I come to the point of my story...Bob, my friend, I was caught unprepared. I do not have any money to look after my wife who has just delivered. I do not even have any money to pay the hospital bills. 46. NSUB: I am sorry. I do not have any money myself. 47. SSEKA: (PLEADING) The only money I have is what I am going to use to go to Nkwekwe. Is there a predominant emotion coming through the scene as yet Will the audience be curious about why Sseka has to go to Nkwekwe
Chapter Thirteen: The Value of Editing 203 Konoweeka Page 4 of 10 Episode #8 Draft: #11 Writer: Kiyingi October 1996 48. NSUB: Forget about going to Nkwekwe for the time being. Pay whatever you have to the hospital and pay the rest later. 49. SSEKA: Don’t be ridiculous, Bob. The hospital would never allow that. 50. NSUB: (AMUSED) They will be able to get you when Aida goes to deliver. By the way, has it occurred to you that she might also have twins. 51. SSEKA: (PROUDLY) That would be wonderful! Imagine me, Ssekalegga with four children in one year! 52. NSUB: That would add up to 24 children at 35 years of age...and still going strong. 53. SSEKA: Enough of this tomfoolery. Get me the money to collect my wife from the hospital. 54. NSUB: My friend, not planning your family is the same as trying to build a fashionable house without a plan. Your children become a burden on society. 55. SSEKA: (AMUSED) It is not a lecture I need right now. It is money. I shall repay very quickly. 56. NSUB: I told you that I do not have any money and advise you to cancel your trip to Nkwekwe, since there isn’t any pressing problem there right now. 57. SSEKA: What makes you think that 58. NSUB: You mean there is a problem 59. SSEKA: (GETTING FED UP. HE CALLS) Mrs. Nsubuga, I have to go to the hospital now, so that Peter’s brothers can get something to wear. 60. NSUB: You mean they have had no clothes all this time 61. SSEKA: That’s right. We had brought only one garment because we were expecting only one child. 62. NSUB: You mean to say you brought only one garment since you expected only one child. Will an audience who has not listened previously know who Aida is Is this introduction of the message natural and subtle Is the audience likely to be attracted to or deeply interested in either one of these characters 13
