The Groomsmen (2024) Movie Script
If there is anyone here who feels that these
two should not be joined together in holy matrimony,
may he or she speak
now or forever hold your peace.
Pastor.
Wait.
Why I'm acting as if I didn't know
something like this was bound to happen.
Nah, that's a wrong reaction. Let me change it.
Pastor.
Wait wait wait wait wait
wait, fainting is a bit too much.
Okay let's go back again.
Well this time she should be shocked.
Yes, shocked.
Okay, ready go.
Pastor.
Good good, but I wasn't ready that time.
Again.
May he or she speak
now, or forever hold your peace.
Pastor.
Wondering why she's in shock?
Well, maybe because in her
head she can hear something like.
Stop!
Hey!
Maya.
I love you.
You shouldn't.
Or something like.
Stop!
Maya, we have a child together.
eieeeee
Or something like...
what the hell is wrong with you
Relax.
Why all these?
Well, let's look at the
beginning of all the mistakes.
No, no.
Let's get to the beginning.
That which was not a mistake.
What's happening?
Yeah.
I know this is sudden.
But it won't think I want to more off right now
in the world.
It's you.
I want to share my world with you, Maya.
Will you marry me?
Yes, yes I will.
I thought there was someone else here.
I thought you were cheating on me.
The idea was to throw you off
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
You're crazy
Yeah, a little bit.
I will kill you.
No, don't.
I will kill you this time.
Oh wow.
this is like what, 10 carats
Have you guys set a date yet?
No, please, mom.
We just got engaged.
Oh, how?
At least you should have a date by now.
Well, we are not certain about the date.
We just know that it will
be in at least seven months time.
So after we get all the preparations
underway for the
wedding, then we will set a date.
Well, honey, I think it's time to give it to them.
Give what to who?
Well, as you can see, your mother's fingers
is wearing only one ring.
The other, I am giving to you.
To be given to my daughter.
Consider that as your first wedding present.
Thank you.
Dad.
No, no, dad, no, please, I can't take this.
Mom, you love this so much.
My mom always used to
tell us stories about this ring.
I can't take it.
Sweet heart, that's true.
I love the ring.
But hey, it's time to give that ring to you.
It's the person I love most.
Hey, what about me?
Your mother likes this one.
But I.
Hope you know what you're going in for.
I hope you know her very well.
Well enough to know that I'm in love with her.
You have not answered my question.
Well, we haven't been together for the long.
thats beside the point.
You don't need a decade to know her.
I'm only asking if you
really know what you're doing.
Your time is not like ours.
I understand, sir.
Yeah, yeah. Can I smell what we have for dessert?
Good idea. Let's see.
well, ok theres
ice cream. Chocolate ice cream?
No, I don't want that.
No, vanilla.
No, I don't really want vanilla.
Oh, come on, it's just ice cream. Just pick one.
Okay, all right, what about yoghurt ?
No, I don't want yoghurt. But I would like to...
Mix it with vanilla and chocolate.
That's pick the vanilla and mix it with chocolate.
That will make you feel
like a little girl once again.
You, come on.
Kofi.
Maya.
How are you?
I'm great, I'm great. You look so amazing.
Thank you. What are you doing here?
Well, I manage this place.
Okay.
It's been a long time.
Come on, Maya, it's just some few years, nothing.
A few years is a long time.
A short time. Can be made to look
long, especially when you've been ignored?
Oh, sorry. Kofi please meet
my fiance, Mark. Mark, this is Kofi.
Oh, how? What?
Hi.
Hi. Nice meeting you, Mark.
Pleasure.
So nice. Wait, you are the fiance?
Yes, yes.
Nice. Nice.
Is it funny?
Oh, no, sorry. I'm really sorry. My bad. Okay.
I'm really sorry.
I thought you said you were not getting married soon.
Anyway, I'm really sorry. You know the ice
cream, you not knowing me, and I'm so sorry about that.
Okay, so I like us to
meet, catch up some other time.
I'm still giving my
number and you give me a call. 027.
Yeah, 7465211. I still have your number.
Yeah, the smart scale. All
right. Nice meeting you once again, Mike.
its Mark
Oh, I'm sorry. Mark, please forgive me. How
forgetful could I be? I'm really sorry about that.
All right. Okay. Hey. All right. So these are my
guests and you can take
anything. All bills on the house.
Thank you.
blessed day
Nice meeting you again.
Mark
Later.
All right.
So, who is that guy?
Kofi is my friend, but we did use to date.
But it's some time ago, like quite a long time ago.
So were you best friends
before or after you started dating?
No, we dated for quite
some time and then we became
friends. You know, I
haven't seen him in a long time.
Can you smell that?
What?
Jealousy.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Come on.
I'm not. I was just curious. That's all.
And we're paying for
everything that we're spending here.
Okay.
So, how long did you go out with that guy?
who?
the guy at the restaurant.
A couple of months.
Right.
Why?
Just asking.
Can you let this go, please?
You know, I feel that he knows
you much better than I do, actually.
That's because we've
known each other for years. But
you and I, we have a
whole lifetime together. So...
Yeah. I know, you know, but there's still a lot of
things that we need to
do and know before the wedding.
i don't even know your friend.
Yes, you do. She's Serwaah.
she's the only friend that
I know and I mean forget about Serwaah. Look.
Listen, I wanna know everything. I
mean, why you like this side of the bed?
Why you love pink? Why that weird
choice of ice cream? What are your pet peeves?
We have a lifetime.
Okay. We have a
lifetime to get to know each other.
Besides, we need to plan the wedding, seriously.
Fine.
Wait, wait, wait. Put that back on.
Why? What's up?
You know how we wanted to get married at the
Grand Garden and they said the place was not available.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, I just got a text from your mom.
My mom? At this time?
Yes, we're besties now?
And she says she has a
friend who knows the owner. She said
that we can have our wedding
there. There's a slot available.
Oh, that's great.
But it's in two months.
Two months is too close. Come on.
Babe.
Look.
I know two months is soon.
It's very, very soon. I know that.
But this is the Grand Garden
and the waiting list is two years long.
It is?
Yes. And we just need to reply her
by morning. She has a slot available for us.
It's still too soon.
Baby, it's the Grand Garden. Please.
We haven't done enough
plans to be set in two months.
Yeah, it's the Grand Garden. like
leave that one to the event planner.
Two months?
Baby, please. Now, only
two months. Please. I beg you.
Please.
alright fine
Please. Thank you.
Where are you going?
I'm going to tell your mum the
great news and tell all my friends.
but yo... You're coming to sleep.
Two months.
Two months? Two months.
Bro, I think youre making a big mistake.
You just met this lady four months ago.
Four months!
Four months is not that long a
time for you to want to marry somebody.
Look, I still say it. You just met her.
You don't need to rush into this at all.
You says i'm rushing.
Every young couple that takes a step as
big as this gets to regret in the coming years.
And that is why there are a lot of divorce cases.
That is different.
How different is this?
I mean, in most divorce cases, it's
because people got married for the wrong reason.
But, Mark here, I believe he's a
matured man and he knows what he wants.
Thank you. Okay, fine.
I understand. But listen to my point, okay?
Mark, we all see that you
love her. We see it, but give it time.
Okay, let's not act as if
what I'm saying here is not a problem.
It is not.
How? How is this not a problem?
Because I have a lifetime to get to know her.
Okay, granted. But as we
speak now, Mark, you do not know her.
What if she has a husband?
What if she has a kid?
What if she's a lesbian? What if she has STIs?
No, no, no. You're being silly.
I mean, she doesn't have any of these.
She told you that?
No, but I mean, it's...
Mistake! Mark, they are rules, okay?
I can't believe this is happening so fast.
I still don't know how
you able to convince my brother
to agree to the date.
Me.
I can be very persuasive.
And what are you smiling about?
Dee
That one again.
Who's Dee?
her ex-boyfriend
My friend.
What are you doing?
I'm inviting him for the wedding.
What?
What?
Um, sorry, I'm not done.
Do you know how it feels like having your ex
at a wedding?
He's your ex.
Exes relapse.
Why invite a filled relationship
to come witness a successful one?
He's still my friend.
No, he's not.
He was your friend.
And then he became your boyfriend.
He is now your ex.
There'll be so many feelings blowing up.
It will feel like
things are not done with You two.
Nice.
There you go.
You know, I know people
say that men cooking is girly,
but we ladies find it.
Sexy.
Oh, then you're waiting for a treat.
You know, my granny taught me how to cook
most times after school.
I like a granny's boy.
Yeah, you should
Well, dig in.
Mm.
This is good.
This is really good.
Oh, and she asked me not to teach anyone
except the basics.
You know, so your onions, garlic, natural spices,
and then her secret ingredient.
Peas?
How do you know that?
I'm allergic
ok, let me think.
What else?
Look, babe, it's late
and I have meetings early tomorrow.
Huh?
And you almost killed me today.
I think I'm entitled to some sleep time.
Come on, I'm serious.
We have to do this.
I mean, look, it's less
than two months to our wedding day
and I have no knowledge about my wife to be.
I mean, come on, do you know how terrible I feel
about what happened today?
I do.
I get it.
You couldn't admit to
the doctors that you were at fault.
Okay.
What do you want to know?
Everything.
Your favorite color, favorite food.
First case, first day of doing it.
lets start with the first kiss.
I'm going to sleep.
No, come on, please.
Oh.
Look, can we do this another time?
We can make another time available for this.
Hmm?
Are you coming to bed?
and please babe, no more cooking for me.
I don't want to die early.
Boss.
Yeah?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, everything's okay.
Then arrange your face well.
Alpha come, come.
come and sit down
Hey, boss.
Boss, boss.
The way, the way you're calling me sweetly,
I'm sure that is one of two things.
It's either you want to give me money,
and that one is very welcome.
Or you're looking for information.
If it is money, just give it to me.
But if it is information, I'm not ready to,
to choke madam again
Alpha, Omega.
Now what if I want to do both?
Oh.
500 cedis this time.
Yeah.
well , the more the
money, the more the information.
Boss.
Boss, the way this money is fresh,
why are you coming from the bank?
Look, I don't even need any information.
I just, I just want us to talk like men, you know.
Like, like equals.
Boss, us.
Yeah.
Talk as men.
Yeah.
Okay, fire, shoot.
Listen, I've been, I've
been thinking about madam.
Boss, is everything okay?
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, it's just,
look, your madame is all that I want in a woman.
And even though we've known each other,
we've been together for just some few months,
I feel that there's
more to her than meets the eye.
And I'm wondering if,
you know, I'm making a mistake.
Boss, it's for madame, she's a very closed book.
Very private person.
And that's a problem.
Boss, I have been around madame long enough
to know her very well.
Long enough to know when she loves a guy
or likes a guy or otherwise.
And from the look of
things, you have what it takes
and every opportunity to be the very last one.
Do you know her ex-boyfriend?
really boss ex-boyfriend.
ex-boyfriends.
Madame has a lot of ex-boyfriends, a lot, plenty.
Ah, more than 20.
Boss, when it comes to madame,
she can be described as
the epitome of short relationships.
But it all rests on you.
If you want to be the last man standing,
then it means you have to work very hard.
You have to put in the extra mile
Okay, so what do you mean by
There are a lot.
You have exceeded your gosip bundle
Okay, Alpha, give me my money.
Give me my money.
Boss, stop the joke, what money?
This one is locked firmly.
Hi, good day
Good.
Do you know what?
I think I like this one.
I like this one too.
You know what, I have a picture of a cake
that I uploaded on Facebook some years ago
and we'll try and get it.
Can you do something like this?
We can do that.
We have no problem on that.
Okay.
No, that's good.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
So I want something pretty much identical to that.
Yeah, quite big, quite tall.
Taller than him.
But can I get, we
want butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate,
lots of buttercream.
Yes, intricate detail.
Babe, what are you doing up?
Just catching up with some clients and...
At this time?
Yeah, you know, the time difference, you know.
plays a factor
It's about eight there now.
Let's go to bed.
No, just give me five minutes, all right?
Just five minutes.
Babe, please, let's go to bed.
I'm travelling soon, you know I need you.
Yeah, I do.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
All right,
explain to those people later.
Hi, Mike.
Hi, and then the name is Mark.
Ouch, okay, Mark, Mark.
Yeah, I, you said you wanted to meet up.
I must say I was really surprised, actually.
Yeah, I must also
apologise for taking much of your time.
But I'm going to be very brief.
I want us to talk about Maya.
Is she all right?
Oh yeah, she is.
You know, I'm organising a
surprise weekend birthday party
for her, and since you
are the oldest of her friends,
I thought I would invite you.
Oldest friend?
Is that what she told you?
Anyway, this is quite unusual
because I know it's not her birthday.
Well, you should know.
Good, so what is she trying to put up this time?
All right, so to be honest with you,
I'm organising a surprise
weekend party before the wedding.
Oh, right.
And I wanted you to come
around to help with the planning
and because, I mean, you
also know her more than anyone.
And so, you know, that's
why I wanted you to come in.
Okay, that's it, I'll come.
Right, all right, great.
So it's happening at her place this Friday.
Okay.
And because its a
surprise, I don't want her to know.
Sure, that's fine.
All right, so since there's nothing more left,
I'll be expecting your call.
Sure, I'll give you the call.
How do you know my number?
oh, 027...
I saved it too.
good afternoon
All right, sure, ta...
hey Alpha.
Alpha!
Listen, Maya says she's traveling
She hasn't told me.
Well, she is.
But she still hasn't told me
I am telling you.
Oh, okay, okay.
Now there's something I want us to do.
Us?
as in you and I?
Yes.
This is this problem that I have between us.
There's a problem between you and I?
Not you, I mean Maya.
And I've gotten a way out and we have to do it.
We?
as in you and Madame?
No, you and I.
but master why are you confusing me with this,
you and us and we and all that?
All right, just forget it.
You did say that you
know all her ex-boyfriends, right?
Oh, plenty.
I'll show you all of them.
Okay, now let me show you.
She's gonna go to Nigeria for a week,
which is like a week to our wedding day.
Now here's the plan.
No.
Yes, yes.
What's the meaning of this?
And what is this guy doing here?
you stole my line, what are you doing here?
What's happening?
Well, it seems like there's some bad blood
between these two.
What are you doing here?
How's that your concern?
Huh?
I can't stay here if this guy's here too.
i'm out
Oh, oh, oh, he's leaving.
That's what
he knows how to do best, leave.
You know you're very stupid.
Yes.
Your mom said same thing about you.
Enough guys, this is not why we are here
See, we are here to celebrate with a friend.
There's no ruin the night with this.
Petty fight of ours, please
What are we doing here?
Well, I was told to come for a surprise party.
I don't see anything party-like around here .
I was invited by the way.
Well, so was I.
By who?
By me.
Welcome guys.
Well, I invited you all here
because you're all close to Maya.
I'm sure you're familiar with this place.
Man, you see that guy?
He was too close.
Wait, what do you mean?
Closer than Maya and myself?
You know, she cheated on me with this guy
and just when, I don't even.
is that true.
You know, it's not
something I'm proud of, but Charlie.
Wait.
So you went out with Maya?
and you too?
Is that too surprising for you?
Yes, because I also went out with her.
Oh, which year?
so did i
Oh no.
Which year?
So are you trying to tell me
that we all dated the same girl?
No way.
Which year?
Why are we here?
Why only us?
Because I called you.
Oh, you dated her too?
Yes, and I still am.
old man,
So why are we here?
Wait, so you can poison us
because we dated your woman.
must you always be stupid.
Look, if you insult me again, i'll deal with you
What you gonna do?
Okay, relax, guys.
Look, I thought I would settle this like men.
Listen, you all dated her, right?
And you know much more than I do, and I don't.
And if I'm gonna marry her--
Marry Maya, yes I am.
And I mean, what we have is quite fresh.
It's not as successful as you guys.
But you know, if I'm going to marry her,
then it means that I
need to know much more than I do.
So you google her
You don't have to invite all of us here.
Wait.
You said you were bringing her a surprise.
You didn't tell us you
were going to get married to her.
Wait, wait, wait.
Why did you bring men here?
Eh?
Obviously, it's not for any surprise party
even though I'm quite surprised
about what's going on right now.
Exactly.
Well, calm down.
Listen, I, I just, I'm gonna get married to her.
But I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
Then ask her friends.
Ask your father, her mother, her siblings.
even her tailor, even her hairdresser.
Yes,
if you're not sure you want to marry her,
find out why, and stop asking us.
I found you first, and I'm
hoping that you could help out.
A little better to know, you know,
things about her than people who've been
intimate with her.
Her parents, damn it.
Oh wait, so you gathered us here.
In fact, you brought us
here to give you information
about your betrothed.
Really?
To serve what purpose like?
I don't get it.
Bro, are you all right?
No, no, do you really, really
understand what you are trying to do?
You are actually asking us to tell you
about what we did with your wife to be.
Come on, what kind of stupid thing is this?
Guys, in all my life,
this is the most craziest idea
I have ever come about.
Seriously?
The word you want to use is stupid.
Not crazy.
So, why are we really here now?
Ex-boyfriends conference?
Ex-boyfriends retreat.
Let me get this straight, all right?
So, you invited all of us here
to come spend the weekend so that what
we gossip about your wife to be?
You know what?
I didn't drive all the way here for nothing.
So, I'm gonna give you five minutes
for you to make all of this make sense.
Your time starts now.
You know what, listen,
I just can't believe that
I'm all dressed for this crap.
Guys, I can't do this.
Guys, wait, I really wanna ask this question.
When did you come back from the States?
Five months ago.
thats why.
white men think this way, like Hollywood,
because you can't go to a local bar and go like,
I want to know the people who ate from this plate,
who ate from this bowl.
Charlie,
it has already been licked
Well, you know what?
I can't be here.
I mean, if I knew that this stupid guy
was gonna be here in the first place,
let alone sit and talk to him about him,
snatching my..., what am I even,
yeah, it's not too late, just leave.
Say another word, just one more word.
Bro, I'm gonna give
you a sentence with punctuations.
What are you gonna do?
Charlie, guys, let me teach this guy.
No, no, just, just, just, just.
This was a mistake.
Well, yes, it was a mistake.
Sincerely, it was a mistake.
It was.
And whoever give you
this stupid idea, I don't know.
Guys, good night, I'm out of here.
Maya is dying.
She has cancer.
I need your help.
You married her and gave her a ring.
and at the 11th hour, it ended.
Why?
You donated blood to her.
And if you hadn't been around,
she wouldn't be here with us.
I mean, all of you did
these things because you loved her.
I just need your help
to have a successful marriage.
I don't know why he ended up for you guys,
but I don't want to go that path.
And that's why I need your help.
I mean, you talk about Googling, asking.
I've asked around, I've
asked her parents, her siblings.
I got nothing.
And that's why I need your help.
Yeah, I understand that this is crazy.
This is stupid.
But a wise man once said,
"The best ideas are coined by very wise people
"or very stupid people."
We're not here to fight and quarrel.
I know that each one of you loved her
You don't want to see it her in a failed marriage.
Please, help me.
Let her have the best years of her life
that is left of her.
I need your help.
if any of you cannot stay.
That's the door.
You're free to go.
Okay, okay, okay. It's 9 o'clock.
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, guys.
so what
Come on.
You gotta wake up, wake up, wake up.
9 o'clock.
Alpha!
Alpha!
master
give them some coffee.
Yes, sir.
Alpha.
Hey.
You know what I like now?
Yes, sir.
He knows you too.
Alpha.
Alpha is my guy now.
Yeah, he's the guy.
Oh, Jesus.
My head aches.
what happened?
i guess we were here drinking, talking.
I don't know what happened.
All right, it looks like...
You all stay, yeah?
Yes, we did.
Guys, I just had a cold shower.
I'm in the mood to party some more.
Alpha!
Breakfast.
stop sleeping
do you ever shut up?
not when i'm awake
So, what happened to...
I mean, what caused the
change of mind for you to stay?
to this stupid idea.
I'm glad you know it's stupid.
And...
As it turns out, I am stupid.
And I love to do stupid things, so...
Bring it on!
Hey.
You know, I know relationships can be hard.
I can't even imagine how hard marriage could be.
True.
Maya and I are no more.
But I love her.
Which is why I will help you.
At least that will help
to ease things on your side.
for the record,
I still think this is a very, very stupid idea.
But I'm a man of my words.
I'll do anything for my Maya.
Mark this could get worse.
I just want to warn you.
You know, I perfectly.
perfectly know what the consequences could be.
But I hope it won't come to that.
hope is a fool's ally.
I'm in...
Okay.
Right.
I guess you guys are stupid, just as his ideas.
i am out of here.
Right.
See?
Right.
That's my top.
Wait, wait.
Listen, wait.
You know, as much as I
know that this is a stupid idea,
okay, I also know that if
you really want the best for her,
then you make him a better person for her.
Especially now that she is...
She's dying.
I want the best for her.
Which is why I don't want to be part of this.
Hey guys, thanks a lot for last night.
It was awesome.
I'll see you fools later.
hey what nonsense
Who is this fool calling a fool?
Wasn't he the one puking all over the place?
All right, guys.
Listen
My brothers, thank you very
much for staying to help my brother.
But first things first,
let's get to the dining table.
Yes.
let me just...
Oh.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
More party
I just hope she gets...
But I just hope she gets well.
That's all.
So tell me something.
What do you want to know?
Everything, obviously.
Well?
Hey, you start.
Who dated her first?
That should be me, I think.
Okay.
Have at it?
Wait, what year did you date her?
2019.
I'll start.
So how did you two meet?
Well, I think we met after...
After National Service, yes.
We used to work in the same ministry.
I'm met her in church.
Online.
me, I don't remember.
It's actually a funny story.
So...
Wait, wait.
I think since I am the
oldest, let me just go with the story.
It was one rainy Wednesday morning.
I guess it was wet, huh?
Sorry.
Like I was saying, one rainy Wednesday morning.
So what was her favorite color?
You don't know.
Bro, color was not the
reason why I dated her, please.
All right, so what was the
favorite color of the dress that she wore?
i didn't focus on all that?
my focus was on the body within the dress?
The body within the dress.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yo, in case you've not seen it before,
her ass is as white as snow.
the body is shinning
Sorry.
Sorry, bro.
So what team did she support?
What?
What teams do you support?
Oh, okay.
So she supports the team
of the boyfriend at the time.
Well, I guess she's a Liverpool fan now.
So how did you spend your anniversaries?
Well, we never had one.
Me neither.
Why?
Because we didn't date for long.
Mine was 11 months.
Oh.
Nine months.
Ah, three months, yeah.
Wait, none of you had a
relationship that last a year.
Man was two years, but we
never went for any anniversary
because I was always on a business trip.
This is serious.
Oh, not really.
Personally, I didn't want
the relationship to last long.
Too much intimacy.
Felt like was dating my mother.
And she never likes to talk about the past.
Why?
I don't know.
She just doesn't.
Maybe it's because of misfortunes like these.
Hey, guys.
I need to run some
errands for the wedding, you know.
So, hey, why don't we all
go in the car, we can talk more,
and then we can grab lunch.
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah, I can.
Sure.
I'll drive.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll grab my shoes.
Wait, one more thing.
She doesn't like peas.
She's allergic to it.
Yeah, that I know I had to learn it the hard way.
Wait, peas.
Yeah, she's allergic.
Hey.
Bro, hey.
how are you taking all this
in the news about Maya and all?
Yeah, it's tough, but I'll be fine.
Thanks.
I need to ask this question.
Why her house?
Why not a hotel or something?
Or maybe even your house?
Why do you ask?
You know, bringing me
back here, brings some memories.
all these nostalgia
Especially the things that we did on that couch.
Ah.
Ah.
Couch.
Enough.
Look, I just figured that bringing you all
to a familiar place would be simple and convincing.
I guess I forgot about the memories.
But what if she comes to meet us there
Oh, no, she won't.
I mean, she's out of town
and she'll be back on Tuesday.
Let me guess, another business trip to Nigeria.
yeah its obvious.
Hey, guys, I'll be with you shortly.
Yeah, how's the trip?
I'm kind of having a
hard time thinking about business.
Especially with our wedding being next week.
Yeah, I'll get back to you.
So, did Maya ever cook for you, Dave?
No.
John, did she ?
not even hot water
How about you?
Ah, once or twice?
And?
Good.
I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
She cooked for you but she didn't cook for me.
Was she a chef or a girlfriend?
She was my...
I knew this was coming.
We didn't come here to discuss you two.
Come on.
We came here to talk Maya.
you have to talk to him
Come and just talk Maya, please.
On that note, we're the only guys we found.
Oh, no, no, no.
There's this other guy but
I didn't enjoy our conversations.
to the important things now.
Yeah.
what's the first thing
When you take her on a date,
make sure you're the perfect gentleman.
And always try to cook for her.
I already done that, actually.
Okay.
Good.
Buy her stuff.
Yeah, give her money.
she's rich.
I'll give her more money.
Charlie, too much meat doesn't spoil soup
Make sure you're good at surprising her.
She loves surprises.
And when she sleeps, just make sure
that when you guys sleep, you cuddle her.
Well, now she snores when she sleeps alone.
But so long as she's in your bosom, it stops.
Okay.
What?
Bro, listen.
Like her friends.
Like you have no choice.
if they start hating you
You're gone.
If you are fighting, just apologize.
No time for long things.
Because she has already won.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Hope we've gotten everything we've told you.
Thank you.
Give her money.
Okay.
Let's go to the don'ts, now?
Yeah, yeah, the don'ts.
I'll go first.
When you go for jogging.
Don't you dare look at another woman's ass.
or else, bro, you'll regret it.
She's very strong.
Never fight with her over anything.
Not even the TV remote.
Don't cheat.
Okay.
Even if you do, don't get caught.
If you get caught, don't explain.
Just take the slaps and apologize.
why, you got some slaps?
My left cheek will do the explanation.
Everything we're saying here, we can all relate.
If you know, you know.
Don't cheat.
You already said that.
Exactly.
which shows are important it is.
And don't come back
blaming the devil for anything you do.
you cause the mess, you own up to it.
Don't you go and do any crap
and come back to blame the devil.
This is not a Nigerian film
once you do something wrong.
Just apologize.
You know that saying about
couples not going to bed angry?
The real meaning is don't
allow your woman to go to bed angry.
If not, check yourself.
And make sure she has the password to your phone.
I mean, I know privacy is
important to the relationship,
and she respects that.
But that doesn't mean that she won't
use your phone for Snapchat every now and then.
Yeah, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
You see, after taking
pictures, she would like to...
Wait a minute.
After taking the pictures,
she would like to do some reading.
That is the point.
That is where the trouble is.
That is how come she caught me cheating?
Oh yes.
And don't fart.
Don't.
And don't introduce any girlfriend of yours to her.
as your best friend.
See, she doesn't understand that concept.
No, no, no.
She doesn't.
You know, she'll go like,
"I don't get it, why should this
beautiful lady be your girlfriend?
and all that, "Yo, stay away."
And she's very competitive.
So don't get into any competitive arguement
with her at all.
Know the difference between
hearing and listening.
What's the difference?
you see, when she comes to you with
work issues or girlfriend issues.
just make sure youre listening
But when she tells you not to do something stupid,
or repeat something stupid,
make sure that you've heard it.
Thank you.
Above all, do the main thing.
Yeah.
Don't cheat.
I know.
Don't cheat.
No, no, no.
Give her more money.
Exactly.
You're a good listener.
I miss Maya.
But I did that.
Jesus.
guys i need to take this.
Come out.
Wait.
You're shouting.
Oh, so now your cowardice has come again.
I won the election.
So I don't need to campaign untill the next rally.
Hey.
Let's go.
So how's the trip?
It's fine.
I hope you're still at my house?
Yes, I am.
You must be lonely.
I miss you.
Yeah, I miss you too.
I can't wait to see you on Tuesday.
Me too.
I can't believe I have to
be away from home just a week.
Before our wedding.
youve already done all you need to do?
And we just have to wait.
Yeah.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Let me call you back right now.
OK.
Hey, Alpha, stay.
For you, Master.
What are you doing?
Where is she from?
Well, she's a member of our church choir.
What's she doing here by this time?
Well, we intend to
minister to the church on Sunday,
so she came for us to rehearse
by this time?
And the way you've
dressed it with your manpower, bitters.
boss
You've caught me.
Now you're asking me plenty of questions.
Do you want me to lie to you?
Master, are you W.A.E.C?
Go, go, go, go.
Please go.
Before anybody catches you.
Thank you, boss.
Yes, sir.
Hey, you are the best boss yet.
The best I've ever had.
The boss that serves the servants.
Junior Jesus.
Before he changes his mind.
Go and sin no more
What is the age?
What?
What is this thing beginning to look like?
All of us have like different ...
What's going on?
We're trying to settle scores over her age.
Oh, yeah, I'm planning on her next birthday soon.
OK, how old is she?
30.
28.
34.
Ah.
Wait, she's not older than 30.
No, come on.
When we started dating, she said she was 28.
She told me 26.
She told me 25.
and you guys started dating her before me
So, wait, is she aging backwards or what?
girls can lie
You know, they are always very
concious about their age
Wait, wait, hold on.
How old is she actually?
She's 30 now.
you have to first confirm form her mum.
They confirm form her old birth certificate.
She would probably try to
sway you, but don't mind her.
I remember when I tried
to convince her to have kids.
She didn't want kids?
No, point of correction.
She doesn't want kids.
Why?
ask her when you meet her
Something about her not
wanting to spoil her body,
destroying her future, you know?
But I don't think it's
anything you have to worry about.
Maybe at the time, it's
because she wasn't married yet.
All that youthful thinking must have cleared now,
now that she's mature enough to marry.
Look, once she's ready to settle down,
definitely having children would be an option.
She didn't want to marry too.
You know, those girls
who see men just as sex toys.
She used to be one of those.
Self-made, feminist
Those people, those titles.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
There's no need to have any cold feet.
I warned you you were going to hear things.
The river doesn't go through the forest.
without bringing down some trees.
Oh, no, I mean, look, we
all do have a past, all right?
I just believe that we
should just let sleeping dogs lie
I wish.
Which is not what you're doing.
Yeah, look, the choices
that we made in the past
is what has led us here, right?
Which is fine.
But I'm sure if she wanted to marry,
she wouldn't be sitting down.
She would have married you, Kofi, John, or...
When is the wedding?
This weekend.
This Saturday.
Wait, a week from today?
Yes.
This weekend here.
and we are sitting down here
see this one is drinking juice.
So raw
you should have invited us to your bachelor's party
There's no bachelor's party.
Why?
Because, don't have friends in Ghana
and even those that I
know, they don't want to party.
man, forget about that thing.
We're going to have a party.
we will spoil there
After the party, we'll have after party.
Do you know what?
I'll make some calls.
All right, drinks on me.
No, no, don't.
No, do.
Ah, I'll get it
i'll get the drinks
Guys, let's get ready for the party.
Where's Kofi?
Where's Kofi?
forget about him!
Woo!
We're getting married
that experience was crazy.
Like, I know she's bilingual
I mean, she speaks English and twi...
But I never knew in a situation like that.
She was speaking tongues, like...
It was crazy.
One moment she's drunk,
and the next moment boom.
She's asleep
What are you doing?
Hey, what's going on?
we're just sharing experience bro.
guys its almost 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
I even told my wife
what's going on here this weekend.
For real?
Mm-hmm.
Wait...
You are married?
Yeah, two kids.
in fact this weekend was my
chance to get out of the house.
Why?
My mom came over.
We just had a newborn, so you
know, she came over to do the baby stuff.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, I hope Maya would
allow her mom to do the same.
Hey, man, last night was crazy. I'm so tired.
Mm-hmm.
boys, there's food
We go again today, bro.
We go again today, bro.
Like, no dulling. No dulling.
Wait.
Hey, where have you been?
long story.
I had to use the washroom.
Guys.
Guys, please.
Let's talk about sex.
with who?
Maya, of course.
no come on. No, no, no.
Please.
I'm not interested.
were you not the one that said
you want to know everything?
Yeah, but not this.
Not this one.
OK.
Bro, you in, right?
I didn't even want to be here in the first place.
Come to talk about sexual escapades.
I beg, i beg?
All right, kofi.
Let's do this.
See, I know she wasn't a virgin when I met her.
OK, but you see, this sex thing...
Man, count me out.
I see.
All right, my bet is on Dave, bro.
Which rubbish bet.
married men don't kiss and tell.
please be on your way.
All right, I'm going to share my experience.
Share what?
Share what?
Chill, guys.
It's just sex. It's part of life.
All right, so throwback.
Mm-hmm.
I mean...
Oh, there's so many styles she liked.
The times I used to...
spoil the yard!
Guy, guy, guy, slow down. Come on. Come on.
come on, man.
I said, "we are coming to eat." What is this?
Bro, let's talk about what I've been eating.
Oh, Jesus.
So, yeah, the styles.
There was this particular one called...
kill me let me kill you
Yo, bro, can you stop this nonsense?
Bro, what's the meaning of all this?
Watch and learn.
Now, that's when she'll exhibit her Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan.
Exactly.
Watch me do it.
Hmm. Hmm.
Mark
Bro, Mark this.
then i'll lie there...
she'll moan till morning, trust me.
Now, this is is how I do it.
La Liga, la Liga, ah, la Liga!
What's this? What's the meaning?
What's the meaning of all
this? What's the meaning for all this?
When I tell you guys this guy has no sense,
what is this?
Must you display your stupidity everywhere you go?
Have some respect for crying out loud.
haven't you slept with her before?
you didn't try, you didn't try
You didn't try.
OK, let's talk about the
"i'll die tomorrow" style
Alpha?
Eh, madam
What's happening here?
Um...
Um...
i'm behind her....
Can you stop all this?
If I tell you this guy is senseless...
Maya!
Maya!
Maya!
Wow.
Fii...
Darius, is this a dream?
no, baby.
its reality.
What are you all doing here?
Well, I invited them.
Invited them?
For what?
Wait...
How do you know all these people?
Hey, hey, come on, relax.
It's not like you're waking up to ghosts.
We're not strangers.
What are you all doing here?
we came for a retreat.
Darius, I'm being serious.
he can explain.
he will explain
let him explain.
Mark?
What is all of this?
Someone explain something to me!
Mark, explain.
Explain
You.
Bedroom now
is that my Maya being tough like that?
plus her ass shakes when shes angry
Shut up, Darius!
I love you too, baby!
You fool.
Whats wrong with you?
What's the meaning of this?
And what are they doing here?
Hey, are you all right?
You've already fainted like twice already.
You need to see a doctor.
caught the shenanigans.
What are they doing here?
Come on, relax.
Relax.
I should relax.
Oh, so this is it.
This is your plan.
This is how you want to call your wedding off.
By inviting everybody I've dated before you.
So that when the pastor asks,
"Who wants to oppose the wedding?"
Four idiots can put their hand up.
Come on, calm down.
I mean, it's not what you think.
Then what is it?
I needed answers.
Answers?
What kind of answers?
Answers as to why I broke up with all of them?
Maya, we're going to get married in a week.
And I barely know what's
your favorite dress or colour.
Or sex position.
Get out of here!
Guys, excuse us.
Can you see what this is causing?
What are you trying to pull, Mark?
Say something.
Listen, there is more to
you than meets the eye, all right?
And what better way of knowing
you than to tapping into your history?
And so I got these guys to come in to
help me understand you get to know you well.
Look, you're the sweetest, most
wonderful person I've ever fallen in love with
I don't want to lose you.
So yes, I invited four
losers of your past here to help me
stay on the right path so
that I don't end up losing you.
i can just see your lips moving
but, you're not making any sense, Mark.
All I need is to get to know more about you.
then ask me questions.
Or, ask my mother.
The woman gave birth to
me. She's known me the longest.
she can't give me much information like
how these guys have given me within two days.
And there are things that I, you know, apparently
learned that you wouldn't even want to share.
Mark.
Shh. Just, it's all right.
It's all right. You're
expected to be here on Tuesday anyway.
You are not supposed to have found it like this.
Okay. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Very sorry for interrupting whatever it is.
In fact, you can return to your conference
or whatever it is that you have going on downstairs.
Maya wait...
Stop it!
The only reason I came back is
because you were not picking up your calls.
Like, I was worried I
thought something bad happened.
And you know what? I thank God.
I thank God that I came today and not Tuesday.
Because only God knows what kind of
problem and chaos you would have caused for me.
Mark, I want those men out of my house.
Now.
Why?
Which one is why? are you crazy?
I don't want my ex...
How can you be asking me why?
You're asking me why I want
my ex-boyfriends out of my house?
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I just invited, you
know, five guys into your house and...
Probably a stupid idea.
You said five.
Hey, Jesus, Mark you said five.
I counted four.
Where is the fifth one?
He left.
Who is the last one?
Nana kwame.
Jesus Christ, Mark, you
do all. You finished me.
Look, don't worry about
anything. I have everything under control.
Controller. Controller. Oga controller.
Please control yourself
downstairs to control those men out of my house.
Okay? And I hope you are not even
dreaming of involving them in our wedding.
No, no.
Well, that wouldn't be a bad idea, would it?
Eh? No use me, take
play. Don't play with me. Mark.
I want those men out of my house
now. Mark, get them out of my house now!
Alpha!
Yes, madam?
Did you know they were here?
Madam, who?
The guys.
Which guys, madam?
The guys in the room.
Madam, which guys?
Don't play stupid with me.
Yes, madam, I knew.
Why didn't you tell me?
Madam, because you didn't ask me.
Because I didn't ask you.
No, madam.
Eh, why are you leaving?
Why am I leaving? I've left
the house to you. Do what you want!
Is she hungry?
What do you think?
Sorry.
You know anything that happens
over the weekend, is your fault, right?
Look, what do you do when she's this angry?
Nothing. I've never made her this angry before.
You know what? Just allow her
to cool down, okay? She'll come around.
You're lucky she didn't shave your eyebrows.
I wonder how ugly you would be?
My friend, shut up.
If she didn't enter to see your stupid sexual
nonsense, maybe we could have reasoned with her.
Oh, so now it's my
fault that we all gathered here.
It is your fault!
You've started that your thing.
What? What? You people are fighting
over a lady that is about to get married.
can you think about that for a second.
What is wrong with you two?
My friend, mind your business.
Mind my business?
May I remind you that we
have been in this house for two days?
Talking about the business of someone else.
What is just wrong with the two of you?
Charlie, Charlie, just leave me alone.
I still blame him for my breakup with Maya.
If it wasn't for him, we
would have still been together.
I love Maya. I really do.
And I never imagined that
things were going to end up like this.
Let alone be in her place with the
next guy she's planning on settling down with.
all because of these stupid idiot.
That's not true.
It is true! He was all over his business.
It wasn't him.
The thing ended because of me. Not him.
So if you want to blame someone, blame me.
What do you mean?
Look, we all dated, right?
Sometimes relationships will overlap.
When she was dating you, she started dating me.
When your relationship began to collapse.
Wait. So she dated you, cheated on you with him,
and started dating you when the
relationship was on the brink of failure.
Yeah.
And she got pregnant.
For who?
Us.
It was a joint service kind of thing.
So where is the baby?
Aborted.
No, no, no, no, no.
another abortion.
She...
Well, she got pregnant for me too.
The doctor stated it clearly
that if she had another abortion,
she might not be able to give birth.
I'm just surprised that she did it for you too.
So why didn't you just have the baby?
I was not ready, okay?
I was not.
And my parents didn't like
her. They were a bit tribalistic.
She didn't also know that I
was betrothed to some other woman
who was also pregnant for me.
You see, I sincerely, I truly loved her.
I was ready to leave the other woman for her,
but I was at the risk of losing everything.
That is why I...
That's why you what?
rid her of the joy of child birth.
oh, will you shut up?
Will you shut the hell up?
You are one to talk?
You...
You who stole all her money
and bet it in some stupid business of yours.
Preach.
You sold her house and left her with nothing.
Nothing?
Where were you when I made her who she was?
What did you do?
You bloody gold digger.
After making her what she was,
who did you think brought her up again?
Was i not the one who made her father
have faith her enough
to live his business with her?
After he shredded her into bits.
What did you do for her?
What did you do?
I did everything!
I did everything!
And I'm still doing it.
Why do you think I stayed to this stupid idea?
I stayed because I promised
her that I'll do anything for her.
And I still stand by that.
And that's why I'm here.
What do you think I'm doing?
I gave her everything after my business, soared
Everything.
I even proposed to her.
She said no.
And today I'm here.
helping a man be a better person
to the woman i love
Do you think I'm okay with that?
Don't you think it's killing me that I'm here?
And the world I spent with the woman I love,
my entire world.
The same place I had my heart thrown to the rats.
Well, if you loved her that much,
why didn't you settle for her against all odds?
She wasn't the one.
What? What? What? I don't understand.
She wasn't the one for me.
We could have had it all, but in the end,
I wouldn't have been happy.
But in the end,
don't we want to be happy with the
one we spend the rest of our life with?
She has to be the one.
So, Mark,
I ask you,
is Maya your life-long treasure of destiny?
and how low are you willing to go for her?
Look at them.
My friend, shut up and sit down.
What do you know,
apart from going around and
sleeping with girls of all kind?
Hey, hey, hey.
You don't talk to me like you know me, okay?
I've had enough.
You're here talking about what you did
and what you should have done and all that.
You know nothing.
Talking like real men.
Just boys fighting the
past as if you still hold on to it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, beat me.
Hey, hey, beat me, beat me.
like you did to Maya.
John, you beat Maya?
You.
you thought I was the other guy, right?
Following your woman.
The truth is, Maya herself came to me
because she's had enough of you.
And you,
always borrowing from your...
Wait.
who borrows from a woman and never pays back.
You.
Everyone here thinks
Maya wasn't interested in the marriage.
It was your fault.
you left her at the alter
And even when you left your betrothed,
she waited for you.
You never came back.
She kept waiting for you.
you failed her
You all failed her.
Now you're here talking as if
you know her too well.
You're just some unforgetable
wet page in her book.
It was me.
I was there for the pain.
I was there for the heartbreak.
I had Maya because I loved her.
I let her go because I love her.
We never dated
Yeah.
20 years of friendship.
I asked her out, but she, she refused.
I'm that guy.
She always used me to take care of the pain.
The pain you fools caused her!
Do you still love her?
It looks like,
apparently, some of you
still have strong feelings for her.
So I ask again.
Do you still love her?
Alpha!
Open the gate!
This has been been hell.
Yes it has.
It has been a moment of enlightenment for me.
The wedding is off, so...
If any of you want to leave, you can leave.
Wait, wait. Hey.
She has a daughter.
What?
Yes.
She has a daughter.
I couldn't handle the abortion
when the doctors told me that she,
she might not be able to
give birth if she tries it again.
I think the, the, the,
the pregnancy was five months old.
We had travelled to go and have that abortion.
So I had to deal with the
doctor and told him to do a force labor.
So...
She has a daughter.
Her name is Irene
Does she know?
No.
Wait, Maya, I'm not
understanding this whole thing.
I don't understand the story.
You said Mark did what?
When to meet your exes or when to beat them?
Alpha.
Hello?
What is happening there?
Where?
Don't be stupid!
What is happening in that house now?
Madame, they were inside, chatting about you.
Okay, good. So they've all gone. They've left?
No, Madame. They went to get
food. But they are back inside now.
Back where? To do what?
Madame, I'm not sure.
But what...
Call them.
You can ask them what exactly is going on there.
Madame, just call them.
this foolish man.
Hello?
Did he answer?
No.
What is going on there?
I don't know.
And that Darius guy?
I don't trust him.
hes the least of my problems.
Mark
What are you doing?
like...
So much can go wrong.
Maya, relax, relax. I'm
sure it's one of those things.
One of which things?
Well, I don't know.
Because i'm also as stumped.
I'm trying to understand how
a grown man will act this stupid.
Have you ever seen such a thing before?
Does your ex have something nice
to say about you?
Serwaa, you know how these
relationship things can get very childish.
Somebody is always going to blame
the other person for the reason it failed.
And in this case, I have four people blaming me.
Call him again. Call him again.
He cut the call.
What? ow
Don't cry, Maya. Please. Stop.
Stop.
This is...
This is not supposed to
happen for the second time to me, Serwaa.
I know.
I know, but everything
will settle down and you'll be fine.
I don't know about that.
What do you want?
Hey, can I?
I came to see her.
I heard the news just when I left the house.
Are you happy now?
See what you have caused.
See what all of you have caused.
Darius, you of all people
know what I have been through.
You still went behind my back to do this to me.
Maya, listen.
No! I have heard enough and
you have said enough.
You had your chance.
You used it well.
Please just get out.
Get out.
Get out!
Maya, dont cry.
Don't cry, please.
Listen, you're going to be fine.
Okay, you're going to be okay. Don't cry.
I knew you'd be here.
Don't worry, I was leaving.
Do you know what your stupid actions have caused?
What was your end game?
I have no end...
Let me finish.
You went out there, dig
out her past, to ruin her future.
And to what end?
You know, I hate it when
people say all men are the same.
But I agree.
All men are the same.
Men do stupid things to women.
But what you have done
to my friend by far is the best.
Let me finish.
Did it occur to you why those bastards left?
Do you think that if they were
good men, Maya wouldn't be available?
Serwaa...
Let me finish.
I don't think they told you about themselves.
I don't think they told you.
I don't think they told
you that they were "perverts",
"self-centered",
"soul-snatching", "crazy", "stupid", "greedy men".
Well, some came up.
Oh, you hurt my girl, boy.
You hurt her bad.
Maya is a good woman.
That woman is caring.
That woman is loving.
That woman loves you.
She spends her days thanking God for
all the mistakes she made that led her to you,
not knowing that you were the mistake.
I hope you're happy with yourself.
With all the ups and downs, all her
flaws, all the mistakes, all the negative choices,
you were the one thing
that she knew she did right.
You better pack your shit and leave.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, G.
So, what's going on?
What do you think?
I mean, I rally four guys to come
in to help me get to know my fiance well.
I even lie about the fact that she has cancer
you know, just because I don't have much choice.
I just wanted to know
her and then I get what I wanted.
Maybe I should have just let sleeping dogs lie.
Well, I'm not here to say I told you so.
I actually commend you, honestly.
It takes a lot of guts to do what you did.
Maybe if I had done that, I would have spent the
first few years of my
marriage thinking I'm impotent.
Turns out
my wife couldn't have children.
And that's what broke up
her two prior engagements before me.
So, who knows, if I had done what you did, I would
have known and maybe I
would have handled it better.
Tell me, would you still have done it?
I mean, knowing the kind of information
that you know now that she was barring.
Not knowing everything you need to
know about someone is neither here nor there.
Some people are just made for us.
My wife, for instance, I love her so much.
And she's the one. She's the best person I know.
Everyone comes with baggage. Everyone.
So it's for you to choose to
help the person with that baggage.
And if you said this is the person you want
spend the rest of your life with, then you might as well.
Besides, it turns out my
wife wasn't barren after all.
She just had a problem
with her womb after that was sorted.
Now she's a mother of two.
Yeah, that situation is quite different from ...
No. No, it's not different.
You wanted to know what
you were getting into. Now you do.
So the question is, what are you going to do
with the information you learned about the weekend?
Are you going to help her
through it? or are you going to bail?
The choice is...
What are you doing here?
Hello to you two.
coming to finish what you started?
We're here to talk, bro.
Hey.
Maya never loved us like the way she loves you.
Don't judge her with her past.
I'm not holding anything against her
Then why are you reflecting over things that
are not relevant to the current state of affairs?
What's your problem?
Because, I mean, how do you
know that that someone is the one?
How do you know that she's not
trying to run away from past mistakes with you?
How do you even know
that those things that happened in
the past aren't going to
repeat themselves in the present?
Because the past is not the present.
I wish that you would marry her.
We all do.
But we can't change your
mind. We can only talk about it.
I've said my piece.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Look, I want you guys to be my groomsmen.
What?
You serious?
Yeah.
Are you incredibly stupid or
are you just begotting for punishment?
I...
If I'm going to get this done, then I have
to do it properly. The foundation has to be right.
You're serious?
I mean, I want, you know,
you, I mean, guys who cherish and have
loved my fianc, to be the
ones behind me when I say my vows.
I don't want anybody who's not connected,
who's not this... I need a positive energy and...
And so, I need your help. So
once again, will you be my groomsmen.
He's serious.
I...
I see the tears in my eyes.
I feel so emotional right now.
So stupid.
You know what?
I'm in.
But don't ask us to be godfathers next.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
We are going to the groomsmen. So what's next?
Let's get our suits, our shoes, real shoes.
but when is the wedding?
Not so fast.
Mark.
Yeah?
This is Irene.
Your daughter, to be.
Come on.
Thank you, my dear.
Mark! your baby is grown!
Come to cut off the head
of the snake after killing it.
No.
No, exactly.
We just want to talk.
I know this is awkward.
Yes, it is.
But not anymore.
Behind you.
Maya, I love you.
And that's all that matters to me.
look, I spent this past couple of days
thinking about living my life without you.
And you find any better answer.
I know you've been through a lot.
But I've also gotten to know a lot.
I know Blue is your favorite.
I know you love dogs, but
you're afraid of them at the same time.
I know no matter how stupid your houseboy is,
he still reminds you of your late brother.
I know your love knows no bounds.
I know what makes you come alive.
And I really want to
spend the rest of my life with you.
So it is not too much.
And not too soon.
Maya, will you marry me this weekend?
Yes, yes, I will.
I love you.
The wedding is this weekend.
I thought everything was cancelled.
No.
Did you send any messages to cancel the wedding?
No, no, no. I couldn't.
I didn't want to deal with the brouhaha.
But the cake, the decorations...
Did you tell them the wedding?
No, I didn't send any message.
No.
So the wedding is back on then.
yes
The wedding is on.
Oh.
Hey.
I heard the bride wants to see me.
How do I look?
This is the option for the reception.
Wow.
Trust me, I can't explain.
Try.
You look everything, everywhere, all at once.
How's the groom?
He's perfectly fine.
He can't wait to tie the knot.
Good news.
What?
Can't go through with this wedding, bro.
You're joking.
I can't marry him.
Oh, okay. Maya I get it, you'll be fine.
I mean, I know how you feel.
Look, this too shall pass ok?
No, no, no. You don't understand.
What if this turns out to be a John situation?
Or this turns out to be like the Dave situation?
It's not.
How do you know?
People leave me all the time.
All the time. And they leave me
feeling worse than I ever felt before.
But not you.
You have always come through for me.
You have been there for me.
You have been with me for 20 years.
Jesus, Michael, what are you saying?
I don't know. Maybe I'm making a mistake.
Maybe I'm supposed to be getting married to you.
Hey, hey.
No, no, no.
No, I don't want to hear that.
Think about it. Think about it.
We could run away together.
We could go to Kamasi. You could get a new job.
Stop it.
I could get a new job.
Stop it. You're just saying
all these things because you're scared.
I am not made for you.
Mark is.
But am I not supposed to be with
someone who does things for me the way you do?
Am I not supposed to be with the
person who has been with me in my life for 20 years?
The guy who saved my life.
God made another one of me for you.
Someone who is going to
love you more than I ever will.
Look, I know this
sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.
Okay?
He was made for you. He
loves you. That's why we're all here.
It doesn't have to make sense to make sense.
Are you okay?
Hey, come here.
Oh, Maya.
I know the future is frightening.
but you don't have to go back
to the past because it's familiar.
You're right.
I am being insane.
No. Thank you. You're welcome, dear.
Stop crying, please. I don't see you. I beg you.
We've been waiting for you.
Okay, put yourself together. Let's go there.
Let's get married. Let's
mark this day as one of the best days in your life
I don't want to see those tears.
Come here.
Let me not destroy the makeup.
Please, stop.
Yeah.
- Cheer up, okay? -Okay.
I got you.
I'm waiting
Thank you.
The past should never be triggered.
You might not like what is there.
But it is what happens to us in
the past that makes us who we are today.
Not everything along the way was perfect.
And to be honest, not
everything that follows will be perfect either.
It's okay to panic
about whether or not you've made
the best choice when you're committing to the one.
In the end, all we can do is to promise to love each other with everything we've got.
Because love
is everything
Wow.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some
noise and welcome the biggest act in Ghana!
two should not be joined together in holy matrimony,
may he or she speak
now or forever hold your peace.
Pastor.
Wait.
Why I'm acting as if I didn't know
something like this was bound to happen.
Nah, that's a wrong reaction. Let me change it.
Pastor.
Wait wait wait wait wait
wait, fainting is a bit too much.
Okay let's go back again.
Well this time she should be shocked.
Yes, shocked.
Okay, ready go.
Pastor.
Good good, but I wasn't ready that time.
Again.
May he or she speak
now, or forever hold your peace.
Pastor.
Wondering why she's in shock?
Well, maybe because in her
head she can hear something like.
Stop!
Hey!
Maya.
I love you.
You shouldn't.
Or something like.
Stop!
Maya, we have a child together.
eieeeee
Or something like...
what the hell is wrong with you
Relax.
Why all these?
Well, let's look at the
beginning of all the mistakes.
No, no.
Let's get to the beginning.
That which was not a mistake.
What's happening?
Yeah.
I know this is sudden.
But it won't think I want to more off right now
in the world.
It's you.
I want to share my world with you, Maya.
Will you marry me?
Yes, yes I will.
I thought there was someone else here.
I thought you were cheating on me.
The idea was to throw you off
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
You're crazy
Yeah, a little bit.
I will kill you.
No, don't.
I will kill you this time.
Oh wow.
this is like what, 10 carats
Have you guys set a date yet?
No, please, mom.
We just got engaged.
Oh, how?
At least you should have a date by now.
Well, we are not certain about the date.
We just know that it will
be in at least seven months time.
So after we get all the preparations
underway for the
wedding, then we will set a date.
Well, honey, I think it's time to give it to them.
Give what to who?
Well, as you can see, your mother's fingers
is wearing only one ring.
The other, I am giving to you.
To be given to my daughter.
Consider that as your first wedding present.
Thank you.
Dad.
No, no, dad, no, please, I can't take this.
Mom, you love this so much.
My mom always used to
tell us stories about this ring.
I can't take it.
Sweet heart, that's true.
I love the ring.
But hey, it's time to give that ring to you.
It's the person I love most.
Hey, what about me?
Your mother likes this one.
But I.
Hope you know what you're going in for.
I hope you know her very well.
Well enough to know that I'm in love with her.
You have not answered my question.
Well, we haven't been together for the long.
thats beside the point.
You don't need a decade to know her.
I'm only asking if you
really know what you're doing.
Your time is not like ours.
I understand, sir.
Yeah, yeah. Can I smell what we have for dessert?
Good idea. Let's see.
well, ok theres
ice cream. Chocolate ice cream?
No, I don't want that.
No, vanilla.
No, I don't really want vanilla.
Oh, come on, it's just ice cream. Just pick one.
Okay, all right, what about yoghurt ?
No, I don't want yoghurt. But I would like to...
Mix it with vanilla and chocolate.
That's pick the vanilla and mix it with chocolate.
That will make you feel
like a little girl once again.
You, come on.
Kofi.
Maya.
How are you?
I'm great, I'm great. You look so amazing.
Thank you. What are you doing here?
Well, I manage this place.
Okay.
It's been a long time.
Come on, Maya, it's just some few years, nothing.
A few years is a long time.
A short time. Can be made to look
long, especially when you've been ignored?
Oh, sorry. Kofi please meet
my fiance, Mark. Mark, this is Kofi.
Oh, how? What?
Hi.
Hi. Nice meeting you, Mark.
Pleasure.
So nice. Wait, you are the fiance?
Yes, yes.
Nice. Nice.
Is it funny?
Oh, no, sorry. I'm really sorry. My bad. Okay.
I'm really sorry.
I thought you said you were not getting married soon.
Anyway, I'm really sorry. You know the ice
cream, you not knowing me, and I'm so sorry about that.
Okay, so I like us to
meet, catch up some other time.
I'm still giving my
number and you give me a call. 027.
Yeah, 7465211. I still have your number.
Yeah, the smart scale. All
right. Nice meeting you once again, Mike.
its Mark
Oh, I'm sorry. Mark, please forgive me. How
forgetful could I be? I'm really sorry about that.
All right. Okay. Hey. All right. So these are my
guests and you can take
anything. All bills on the house.
Thank you.
blessed day
Nice meeting you again.
Mark
Later.
All right.
So, who is that guy?
Kofi is my friend, but we did use to date.
But it's some time ago, like quite a long time ago.
So were you best friends
before or after you started dating?
No, we dated for quite
some time and then we became
friends. You know, I
haven't seen him in a long time.
Can you smell that?
What?
Jealousy.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Come on.
I'm not. I was just curious. That's all.
And we're paying for
everything that we're spending here.
Okay.
So, how long did you go out with that guy?
who?
the guy at the restaurant.
A couple of months.
Right.
Why?
Just asking.
Can you let this go, please?
You know, I feel that he knows
you much better than I do, actually.
That's because we've
known each other for years. But
you and I, we have a
whole lifetime together. So...
Yeah. I know, you know, but there's still a lot of
things that we need to
do and know before the wedding.
i don't even know your friend.
Yes, you do. She's Serwaah.
she's the only friend that
I know and I mean forget about Serwaah. Look.
Listen, I wanna know everything. I
mean, why you like this side of the bed?
Why you love pink? Why that weird
choice of ice cream? What are your pet peeves?
We have a lifetime.
Okay. We have a
lifetime to get to know each other.
Besides, we need to plan the wedding, seriously.
Fine.
Wait, wait, wait. Put that back on.
Why? What's up?
You know how we wanted to get married at the
Grand Garden and they said the place was not available.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, I just got a text from your mom.
My mom? At this time?
Yes, we're besties now?
And she says she has a
friend who knows the owner. She said
that we can have our wedding
there. There's a slot available.
Oh, that's great.
But it's in two months.
Two months is too close. Come on.
Babe.
Look.
I know two months is soon.
It's very, very soon. I know that.
But this is the Grand Garden
and the waiting list is two years long.
It is?
Yes. And we just need to reply her
by morning. She has a slot available for us.
It's still too soon.
Baby, it's the Grand Garden. Please.
We haven't done enough
plans to be set in two months.
Yeah, it's the Grand Garden. like
leave that one to the event planner.
Two months?
Baby, please. Now, only
two months. Please. I beg you.
Please.
alright fine
Please. Thank you.
Where are you going?
I'm going to tell your mum the
great news and tell all my friends.
but yo... You're coming to sleep.
Two months.
Two months? Two months.
Bro, I think youre making a big mistake.
You just met this lady four months ago.
Four months!
Four months is not that long a
time for you to want to marry somebody.
Look, I still say it. You just met her.
You don't need to rush into this at all.
You says i'm rushing.
Every young couple that takes a step as
big as this gets to regret in the coming years.
And that is why there are a lot of divorce cases.
That is different.
How different is this?
I mean, in most divorce cases, it's
because people got married for the wrong reason.
But, Mark here, I believe he's a
matured man and he knows what he wants.
Thank you. Okay, fine.
I understand. But listen to my point, okay?
Mark, we all see that you
love her. We see it, but give it time.
Okay, let's not act as if
what I'm saying here is not a problem.
It is not.
How? How is this not a problem?
Because I have a lifetime to get to know her.
Okay, granted. But as we
speak now, Mark, you do not know her.
What if she has a husband?
What if she has a kid?
What if she's a lesbian? What if she has STIs?
No, no, no. You're being silly.
I mean, she doesn't have any of these.
She told you that?
No, but I mean, it's...
Mistake! Mark, they are rules, okay?
I can't believe this is happening so fast.
I still don't know how
you able to convince my brother
to agree to the date.
Me.
I can be very persuasive.
And what are you smiling about?
Dee
That one again.
Who's Dee?
her ex-boyfriend
My friend.
What are you doing?
I'm inviting him for the wedding.
What?
What?
Um, sorry, I'm not done.
Do you know how it feels like having your ex
at a wedding?
He's your ex.
Exes relapse.
Why invite a filled relationship
to come witness a successful one?
He's still my friend.
No, he's not.
He was your friend.
And then he became your boyfriend.
He is now your ex.
There'll be so many feelings blowing up.
It will feel like
things are not done with You two.
Nice.
There you go.
You know, I know people
say that men cooking is girly,
but we ladies find it.
Sexy.
Oh, then you're waiting for a treat.
You know, my granny taught me how to cook
most times after school.
I like a granny's boy.
Yeah, you should
Well, dig in.
Mm.
This is good.
This is really good.
Oh, and she asked me not to teach anyone
except the basics.
You know, so your onions, garlic, natural spices,
and then her secret ingredient.
Peas?
How do you know that?
I'm allergic
ok, let me think.
What else?
Look, babe, it's late
and I have meetings early tomorrow.
Huh?
And you almost killed me today.
I think I'm entitled to some sleep time.
Come on, I'm serious.
We have to do this.
I mean, look, it's less
than two months to our wedding day
and I have no knowledge about my wife to be.
I mean, come on, do you know how terrible I feel
about what happened today?
I do.
I get it.
You couldn't admit to
the doctors that you were at fault.
Okay.
What do you want to know?
Everything.
Your favorite color, favorite food.
First case, first day of doing it.
lets start with the first kiss.
I'm going to sleep.
No, come on, please.
Oh.
Look, can we do this another time?
We can make another time available for this.
Hmm?
Are you coming to bed?
and please babe, no more cooking for me.
I don't want to die early.
Boss.
Yeah?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, everything's okay.
Then arrange your face well.
Alpha come, come.
come and sit down
Hey, boss.
Boss, boss.
The way, the way you're calling me sweetly,
I'm sure that is one of two things.
It's either you want to give me money,
and that one is very welcome.
Or you're looking for information.
If it is money, just give it to me.
But if it is information, I'm not ready to,
to choke madam again
Alpha, Omega.
Now what if I want to do both?
Oh.
500 cedis this time.
Yeah.
well , the more the
money, the more the information.
Boss.
Boss, the way this money is fresh,
why are you coming from the bank?
Look, I don't even need any information.
I just, I just want us to talk like men, you know.
Like, like equals.
Boss, us.
Yeah.
Talk as men.
Yeah.
Okay, fire, shoot.
Listen, I've been, I've
been thinking about madam.
Boss, is everything okay?
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, it's just,
look, your madame is all that I want in a woman.
And even though we've known each other,
we've been together for just some few months,
I feel that there's
more to her than meets the eye.
And I'm wondering if,
you know, I'm making a mistake.
Boss, it's for madame, she's a very closed book.
Very private person.
And that's a problem.
Boss, I have been around madame long enough
to know her very well.
Long enough to know when she loves a guy
or likes a guy or otherwise.
And from the look of
things, you have what it takes
and every opportunity to be the very last one.
Do you know her ex-boyfriend?
really boss ex-boyfriend.
ex-boyfriends.
Madame has a lot of ex-boyfriends, a lot, plenty.
Ah, more than 20.
Boss, when it comes to madame,
she can be described as
the epitome of short relationships.
But it all rests on you.
If you want to be the last man standing,
then it means you have to work very hard.
You have to put in the extra mile
Okay, so what do you mean by
There are a lot.
You have exceeded your gosip bundle
Okay, Alpha, give me my money.
Give me my money.
Boss, stop the joke, what money?
This one is locked firmly.
Hi, good day
Good.
Do you know what?
I think I like this one.
I like this one too.
You know what, I have a picture of a cake
that I uploaded on Facebook some years ago
and we'll try and get it.
Can you do something like this?
We can do that.
We have no problem on that.
Okay.
No, that's good.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
So I want something pretty much identical to that.
Yeah, quite big, quite tall.
Taller than him.
But can I get, we
want butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate,
lots of buttercream.
Yes, intricate detail.
Babe, what are you doing up?
Just catching up with some clients and...
At this time?
Yeah, you know, the time difference, you know.
plays a factor
It's about eight there now.
Let's go to bed.
No, just give me five minutes, all right?
Just five minutes.
Babe, please, let's go to bed.
I'm travelling soon, you know I need you.
Yeah, I do.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
All right,
explain to those people later.
Hi, Mike.
Hi, and then the name is Mark.
Ouch, okay, Mark, Mark.
Yeah, I, you said you wanted to meet up.
I must say I was really surprised, actually.
Yeah, I must also
apologise for taking much of your time.
But I'm going to be very brief.
I want us to talk about Maya.
Is she all right?
Oh yeah, she is.
You know, I'm organising a
surprise weekend birthday party
for her, and since you
are the oldest of her friends,
I thought I would invite you.
Oldest friend?
Is that what she told you?
Anyway, this is quite unusual
because I know it's not her birthday.
Well, you should know.
Good, so what is she trying to put up this time?
All right, so to be honest with you,
I'm organising a surprise
weekend party before the wedding.
Oh, right.
And I wanted you to come
around to help with the planning
and because, I mean, you
also know her more than anyone.
And so, you know, that's
why I wanted you to come in.
Okay, that's it, I'll come.
Right, all right, great.
So it's happening at her place this Friday.
Okay.
And because its a
surprise, I don't want her to know.
Sure, that's fine.
All right, so since there's nothing more left,
I'll be expecting your call.
Sure, I'll give you the call.
How do you know my number?
oh, 027...
I saved it too.
good afternoon
All right, sure, ta...
hey Alpha.
Alpha!
Listen, Maya says she's traveling
She hasn't told me.
Well, she is.
But she still hasn't told me
I am telling you.
Oh, okay, okay.
Now there's something I want us to do.
Us?
as in you and I?
Yes.
This is this problem that I have between us.
There's a problem between you and I?
Not you, I mean Maya.
And I've gotten a way out and we have to do it.
We?
as in you and Madame?
No, you and I.
but master why are you confusing me with this,
you and us and we and all that?
All right, just forget it.
You did say that you
know all her ex-boyfriends, right?
Oh, plenty.
I'll show you all of them.
Okay, now let me show you.
She's gonna go to Nigeria for a week,
which is like a week to our wedding day.
Now here's the plan.
No.
Yes, yes.
What's the meaning of this?
And what is this guy doing here?
you stole my line, what are you doing here?
What's happening?
Well, it seems like there's some bad blood
between these two.
What are you doing here?
How's that your concern?
Huh?
I can't stay here if this guy's here too.
i'm out
Oh, oh, oh, he's leaving.
That's what
he knows how to do best, leave.
You know you're very stupid.
Yes.
Your mom said same thing about you.
Enough guys, this is not why we are here
See, we are here to celebrate with a friend.
There's no ruin the night with this.
Petty fight of ours, please
What are we doing here?
Well, I was told to come for a surprise party.
I don't see anything party-like around here .
I was invited by the way.
Well, so was I.
By who?
By me.
Welcome guys.
Well, I invited you all here
because you're all close to Maya.
I'm sure you're familiar with this place.
Man, you see that guy?
He was too close.
Wait, what do you mean?
Closer than Maya and myself?
You know, she cheated on me with this guy
and just when, I don't even.
is that true.
You know, it's not
something I'm proud of, but Charlie.
Wait.
So you went out with Maya?
and you too?
Is that too surprising for you?
Yes, because I also went out with her.
Oh, which year?
so did i
Oh no.
Which year?
So are you trying to tell me
that we all dated the same girl?
No way.
Which year?
Why are we here?
Why only us?
Because I called you.
Oh, you dated her too?
Yes, and I still am.
old man,
So why are we here?
Wait, so you can poison us
because we dated your woman.
must you always be stupid.
Look, if you insult me again, i'll deal with you
What you gonna do?
Okay, relax, guys.
Look, I thought I would settle this like men.
Listen, you all dated her, right?
And you know much more than I do, and I don't.
And if I'm gonna marry her--
Marry Maya, yes I am.
And I mean, what we have is quite fresh.
It's not as successful as you guys.
But you know, if I'm going to marry her,
then it means that I
need to know much more than I do.
So you google her
You don't have to invite all of us here.
Wait.
You said you were bringing her a surprise.
You didn't tell us you
were going to get married to her.
Wait, wait, wait.
Why did you bring men here?
Eh?
Obviously, it's not for any surprise party
even though I'm quite surprised
about what's going on right now.
Exactly.
Well, calm down.
Listen, I, I just, I'm gonna get married to her.
But I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
Then ask her friends.
Ask your father, her mother, her siblings.
even her tailor, even her hairdresser.
Yes,
if you're not sure you want to marry her,
find out why, and stop asking us.
I found you first, and I'm
hoping that you could help out.
A little better to know, you know,
things about her than people who've been
intimate with her.
Her parents, damn it.
Oh wait, so you gathered us here.
In fact, you brought us
here to give you information
about your betrothed.
Really?
To serve what purpose like?
I don't get it.
Bro, are you all right?
No, no, do you really, really
understand what you are trying to do?
You are actually asking us to tell you
about what we did with your wife to be.
Come on, what kind of stupid thing is this?
Guys, in all my life,
this is the most craziest idea
I have ever come about.
Seriously?
The word you want to use is stupid.
Not crazy.
So, why are we really here now?
Ex-boyfriends conference?
Ex-boyfriends retreat.
Let me get this straight, all right?
So, you invited all of us here
to come spend the weekend so that what
we gossip about your wife to be?
You know what?
I didn't drive all the way here for nothing.
So, I'm gonna give you five minutes
for you to make all of this make sense.
Your time starts now.
You know what, listen,
I just can't believe that
I'm all dressed for this crap.
Guys, I can't do this.
Guys, wait, I really wanna ask this question.
When did you come back from the States?
Five months ago.
thats why.
white men think this way, like Hollywood,
because you can't go to a local bar and go like,
I want to know the people who ate from this plate,
who ate from this bowl.
Charlie,
it has already been licked
Well, you know what?
I can't be here.
I mean, if I knew that this stupid guy
was gonna be here in the first place,
let alone sit and talk to him about him,
snatching my..., what am I even,
yeah, it's not too late, just leave.
Say another word, just one more word.
Bro, I'm gonna give
you a sentence with punctuations.
What are you gonna do?
Charlie, guys, let me teach this guy.
No, no, just, just, just, just.
This was a mistake.
Well, yes, it was a mistake.
Sincerely, it was a mistake.
It was.
And whoever give you
this stupid idea, I don't know.
Guys, good night, I'm out of here.
Maya is dying.
She has cancer.
I need your help.
You married her and gave her a ring.
and at the 11th hour, it ended.
Why?
You donated blood to her.
And if you hadn't been around,
she wouldn't be here with us.
I mean, all of you did
these things because you loved her.
I just need your help
to have a successful marriage.
I don't know why he ended up for you guys,
but I don't want to go that path.
And that's why I need your help.
I mean, you talk about Googling, asking.
I've asked around, I've
asked her parents, her siblings.
I got nothing.
And that's why I need your help.
Yeah, I understand that this is crazy.
This is stupid.
But a wise man once said,
"The best ideas are coined by very wise people
"or very stupid people."
We're not here to fight and quarrel.
I know that each one of you loved her
You don't want to see it her in a failed marriage.
Please, help me.
Let her have the best years of her life
that is left of her.
I need your help.
if any of you cannot stay.
That's the door.
You're free to go.
Okay, okay, okay. It's 9 o'clock.
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, guys.
so what
Come on.
You gotta wake up, wake up, wake up.
9 o'clock.
Alpha!
Alpha!
master
give them some coffee.
Yes, sir.
Alpha.
Hey.
You know what I like now?
Yes, sir.
He knows you too.
Alpha.
Alpha is my guy now.
Yeah, he's the guy.
Oh, Jesus.
My head aches.
what happened?
i guess we were here drinking, talking.
I don't know what happened.
All right, it looks like...
You all stay, yeah?
Yes, we did.
Guys, I just had a cold shower.
I'm in the mood to party some more.
Alpha!
Breakfast.
stop sleeping
do you ever shut up?
not when i'm awake
So, what happened to...
I mean, what caused the
change of mind for you to stay?
to this stupid idea.
I'm glad you know it's stupid.
And...
As it turns out, I am stupid.
And I love to do stupid things, so...
Bring it on!
Hey.
You know, I know relationships can be hard.
I can't even imagine how hard marriage could be.
True.
Maya and I are no more.
But I love her.
Which is why I will help you.
At least that will help
to ease things on your side.
for the record,
I still think this is a very, very stupid idea.
But I'm a man of my words.
I'll do anything for my Maya.
Mark this could get worse.
I just want to warn you.
You know, I perfectly.
perfectly know what the consequences could be.
But I hope it won't come to that.
hope is a fool's ally.
I'm in...
Okay.
Right.
I guess you guys are stupid, just as his ideas.
i am out of here.
Right.
See?
Right.
That's my top.
Wait, wait.
Listen, wait.
You know, as much as I
know that this is a stupid idea,
okay, I also know that if
you really want the best for her,
then you make him a better person for her.
Especially now that she is...
She's dying.
I want the best for her.
Which is why I don't want to be part of this.
Hey guys, thanks a lot for last night.
It was awesome.
I'll see you fools later.
hey what nonsense
Who is this fool calling a fool?
Wasn't he the one puking all over the place?
All right, guys.
Listen
My brothers, thank you very
much for staying to help my brother.
But first things first,
let's get to the dining table.
Yes.
let me just...
Oh.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
More party
I just hope she gets...
But I just hope she gets well.
That's all.
So tell me something.
What do you want to know?
Everything, obviously.
Well?
Hey, you start.
Who dated her first?
That should be me, I think.
Okay.
Have at it?
Wait, what year did you date her?
2019.
I'll start.
So how did you two meet?
Well, I think we met after...
After National Service, yes.
We used to work in the same ministry.
I'm met her in church.
Online.
me, I don't remember.
It's actually a funny story.
So...
Wait, wait.
I think since I am the
oldest, let me just go with the story.
It was one rainy Wednesday morning.
I guess it was wet, huh?
Sorry.
Like I was saying, one rainy Wednesday morning.
So what was her favorite color?
You don't know.
Bro, color was not the
reason why I dated her, please.
All right, so what was the
favorite color of the dress that she wore?
i didn't focus on all that?
my focus was on the body within the dress?
The body within the dress.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yo, in case you've not seen it before,
her ass is as white as snow.
the body is shinning
Sorry.
Sorry, bro.
So what team did she support?
What?
What teams do you support?
Oh, okay.
So she supports the team
of the boyfriend at the time.
Well, I guess she's a Liverpool fan now.
So how did you spend your anniversaries?
Well, we never had one.
Me neither.
Why?
Because we didn't date for long.
Mine was 11 months.
Oh.
Nine months.
Ah, three months, yeah.
Wait, none of you had a
relationship that last a year.
Man was two years, but we
never went for any anniversary
because I was always on a business trip.
This is serious.
Oh, not really.
Personally, I didn't want
the relationship to last long.
Too much intimacy.
Felt like was dating my mother.
And she never likes to talk about the past.
Why?
I don't know.
She just doesn't.
Maybe it's because of misfortunes like these.
Hey, guys.
I need to run some
errands for the wedding, you know.
So, hey, why don't we all
go in the car, we can talk more,
and then we can grab lunch.
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah, I can.
Sure.
I'll drive.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll grab my shoes.
Wait, one more thing.
She doesn't like peas.
She's allergic to it.
Yeah, that I know I had to learn it the hard way.
Wait, peas.
Yeah, she's allergic.
Hey.
Bro, hey.
how are you taking all this
in the news about Maya and all?
Yeah, it's tough, but I'll be fine.
Thanks.
I need to ask this question.
Why her house?
Why not a hotel or something?
Or maybe even your house?
Why do you ask?
You know, bringing me
back here, brings some memories.
all these nostalgia
Especially the things that we did on that couch.
Ah.
Ah.
Couch.
Enough.
Look, I just figured that bringing you all
to a familiar place would be simple and convincing.
I guess I forgot about the memories.
But what if she comes to meet us there
Oh, no, she won't.
I mean, she's out of town
and she'll be back on Tuesday.
Let me guess, another business trip to Nigeria.
yeah its obvious.
Hey, guys, I'll be with you shortly.
Yeah, how's the trip?
I'm kind of having a
hard time thinking about business.
Especially with our wedding being next week.
Yeah, I'll get back to you.
So, did Maya ever cook for you, Dave?
No.
John, did she ?
not even hot water
How about you?
Ah, once or twice?
And?
Good.
I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
She cooked for you but she didn't cook for me.
Was she a chef or a girlfriend?
She was my...
I knew this was coming.
We didn't come here to discuss you two.
Come on.
We came here to talk Maya.
you have to talk to him
Come and just talk Maya, please.
On that note, we're the only guys we found.
Oh, no, no, no.
There's this other guy but
I didn't enjoy our conversations.
to the important things now.
Yeah.
what's the first thing
When you take her on a date,
make sure you're the perfect gentleman.
And always try to cook for her.
I already done that, actually.
Okay.
Good.
Buy her stuff.
Yeah, give her money.
she's rich.
I'll give her more money.
Charlie, too much meat doesn't spoil soup
Make sure you're good at surprising her.
She loves surprises.
And when she sleeps, just make sure
that when you guys sleep, you cuddle her.
Well, now she snores when she sleeps alone.
But so long as she's in your bosom, it stops.
Okay.
What?
Bro, listen.
Like her friends.
Like you have no choice.
if they start hating you
You're gone.
If you are fighting, just apologize.
No time for long things.
Because she has already won.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Hope we've gotten everything we've told you.
Thank you.
Give her money.
Okay.
Let's go to the don'ts, now?
Yeah, yeah, the don'ts.
I'll go first.
When you go for jogging.
Don't you dare look at another woman's ass.
or else, bro, you'll regret it.
She's very strong.
Never fight with her over anything.
Not even the TV remote.
Don't cheat.
Okay.
Even if you do, don't get caught.
If you get caught, don't explain.
Just take the slaps and apologize.
why, you got some slaps?
My left cheek will do the explanation.
Everything we're saying here, we can all relate.
If you know, you know.
Don't cheat.
You already said that.
Exactly.
which shows are important it is.
And don't come back
blaming the devil for anything you do.
you cause the mess, you own up to it.
Don't you go and do any crap
and come back to blame the devil.
This is not a Nigerian film
once you do something wrong.
Just apologize.
You know that saying about
couples not going to bed angry?
The real meaning is don't
allow your woman to go to bed angry.
If not, check yourself.
And make sure she has the password to your phone.
I mean, I know privacy is
important to the relationship,
and she respects that.
But that doesn't mean that she won't
use your phone for Snapchat every now and then.
Yeah, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
You see, after taking
pictures, she would like to...
Wait a minute.
After taking the pictures,
she would like to do some reading.
That is the point.
That is where the trouble is.
That is how come she caught me cheating?
Oh yes.
And don't fart.
Don't.
And don't introduce any girlfriend of yours to her.
as your best friend.
See, she doesn't understand that concept.
No, no, no.
She doesn't.
You know, she'll go like,
"I don't get it, why should this
beautiful lady be your girlfriend?
and all that, "Yo, stay away."
And she's very competitive.
So don't get into any competitive arguement
with her at all.
Know the difference between
hearing and listening.
What's the difference?
you see, when she comes to you with
work issues or girlfriend issues.
just make sure youre listening
But when she tells you not to do something stupid,
or repeat something stupid,
make sure that you've heard it.
Thank you.
Above all, do the main thing.
Yeah.
Don't cheat.
I know.
Don't cheat.
No, no, no.
Give her more money.
Exactly.
You're a good listener.
I miss Maya.
But I did that.
Jesus.
guys i need to take this.
Come out.
Wait.
You're shouting.
Oh, so now your cowardice has come again.
I won the election.
So I don't need to campaign untill the next rally.
Hey.
Let's go.
So how's the trip?
It's fine.
I hope you're still at my house?
Yes, I am.
You must be lonely.
I miss you.
Yeah, I miss you too.
I can't wait to see you on Tuesday.
Me too.
I can't believe I have to
be away from home just a week.
Before our wedding.
youve already done all you need to do?
And we just have to wait.
Yeah.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Let me call you back right now.
OK.
Hey, Alpha, stay.
For you, Master.
What are you doing?
Where is she from?
Well, she's a member of our church choir.
What's she doing here by this time?
Well, we intend to
minister to the church on Sunday,
so she came for us to rehearse
by this time?
And the way you've
dressed it with your manpower, bitters.
boss
You've caught me.
Now you're asking me plenty of questions.
Do you want me to lie to you?
Master, are you W.A.E.C?
Go, go, go, go.
Please go.
Before anybody catches you.
Thank you, boss.
Yes, sir.
Hey, you are the best boss yet.
The best I've ever had.
The boss that serves the servants.
Junior Jesus.
Before he changes his mind.
Go and sin no more
What is the age?
What?
What is this thing beginning to look like?
All of us have like different ...
What's going on?
We're trying to settle scores over her age.
Oh, yeah, I'm planning on her next birthday soon.
OK, how old is she?
30.
28.
34.
Ah.
Wait, she's not older than 30.
No, come on.
When we started dating, she said she was 28.
She told me 26.
She told me 25.
and you guys started dating her before me
So, wait, is she aging backwards or what?
girls can lie
You know, they are always very
concious about their age
Wait, wait, hold on.
How old is she actually?
She's 30 now.
you have to first confirm form her mum.
They confirm form her old birth certificate.
She would probably try to
sway you, but don't mind her.
I remember when I tried
to convince her to have kids.
She didn't want kids?
No, point of correction.
She doesn't want kids.
Why?
ask her when you meet her
Something about her not
wanting to spoil her body,
destroying her future, you know?
But I don't think it's
anything you have to worry about.
Maybe at the time, it's
because she wasn't married yet.
All that youthful thinking must have cleared now,
now that she's mature enough to marry.
Look, once she's ready to settle down,
definitely having children would be an option.
She didn't want to marry too.
You know, those girls
who see men just as sex toys.
She used to be one of those.
Self-made, feminist
Those people, those titles.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
There's no need to have any cold feet.
I warned you you were going to hear things.
The river doesn't go through the forest.
without bringing down some trees.
Oh, no, I mean, look, we
all do have a past, all right?
I just believe that we
should just let sleeping dogs lie
I wish.
Which is not what you're doing.
Yeah, look, the choices
that we made in the past
is what has led us here, right?
Which is fine.
But I'm sure if she wanted to marry,
she wouldn't be sitting down.
She would have married you, Kofi, John, or...
When is the wedding?
This weekend.
This Saturday.
Wait, a week from today?
Yes.
This weekend here.
and we are sitting down here
see this one is drinking juice.
So raw
you should have invited us to your bachelor's party
There's no bachelor's party.
Why?
Because, don't have friends in Ghana
and even those that I
know, they don't want to party.
man, forget about that thing.
We're going to have a party.
we will spoil there
After the party, we'll have after party.
Do you know what?
I'll make some calls.
All right, drinks on me.
No, no, don't.
No, do.
Ah, I'll get it
i'll get the drinks
Guys, let's get ready for the party.
Where's Kofi?
Where's Kofi?
forget about him!
Woo!
We're getting married
that experience was crazy.
Like, I know she's bilingual
I mean, she speaks English and twi...
But I never knew in a situation like that.
She was speaking tongues, like...
It was crazy.
One moment she's drunk,
and the next moment boom.
She's asleep
What are you doing?
Hey, what's going on?
we're just sharing experience bro.
guys its almost 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
I even told my wife
what's going on here this weekend.
For real?
Mm-hmm.
Wait...
You are married?
Yeah, two kids.
in fact this weekend was my
chance to get out of the house.
Why?
My mom came over.
We just had a newborn, so you
know, she came over to do the baby stuff.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, I hope Maya would
allow her mom to do the same.
Hey, man, last night was crazy. I'm so tired.
Mm-hmm.
boys, there's food
We go again today, bro.
We go again today, bro.
Like, no dulling. No dulling.
Wait.
Hey, where have you been?
long story.
I had to use the washroom.
Guys.
Guys, please.
Let's talk about sex.
with who?
Maya, of course.
no come on. No, no, no.
Please.
I'm not interested.
were you not the one that said
you want to know everything?
Yeah, but not this.
Not this one.
OK.
Bro, you in, right?
I didn't even want to be here in the first place.
Come to talk about sexual escapades.
I beg, i beg?
All right, kofi.
Let's do this.
See, I know she wasn't a virgin when I met her.
OK, but you see, this sex thing...
Man, count me out.
I see.
All right, my bet is on Dave, bro.
Which rubbish bet.
married men don't kiss and tell.
please be on your way.
All right, I'm going to share my experience.
Share what?
Share what?
Chill, guys.
It's just sex. It's part of life.
All right, so throwback.
Mm-hmm.
I mean...
Oh, there's so many styles she liked.
The times I used to...
spoil the yard!
Guy, guy, guy, slow down. Come on. Come on.
come on, man.
I said, "we are coming to eat." What is this?
Bro, let's talk about what I've been eating.
Oh, Jesus.
So, yeah, the styles.
There was this particular one called...
kill me let me kill you
Yo, bro, can you stop this nonsense?
Bro, what's the meaning of all this?
Watch and learn.
Now, that's when she'll exhibit her Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan.
Exactly.
Watch me do it.
Hmm. Hmm.
Mark
Bro, Mark this.
then i'll lie there...
she'll moan till morning, trust me.
Now, this is is how I do it.
La Liga, la Liga, ah, la Liga!
What's this? What's the meaning?
What's the meaning of all
this? What's the meaning for all this?
When I tell you guys this guy has no sense,
what is this?
Must you display your stupidity everywhere you go?
Have some respect for crying out loud.
haven't you slept with her before?
you didn't try, you didn't try
You didn't try.
OK, let's talk about the
"i'll die tomorrow" style
Alpha?
Eh, madam
What's happening here?
Um...
Um...
i'm behind her....
Can you stop all this?
If I tell you this guy is senseless...
Maya!
Maya!
Maya!
Wow.
Fii...
Darius, is this a dream?
no, baby.
its reality.
What are you all doing here?
Well, I invited them.
Invited them?
For what?
Wait...
How do you know all these people?
Hey, hey, come on, relax.
It's not like you're waking up to ghosts.
We're not strangers.
What are you all doing here?
we came for a retreat.
Darius, I'm being serious.
he can explain.
he will explain
let him explain.
Mark?
What is all of this?
Someone explain something to me!
Mark, explain.
Explain
You.
Bedroom now

plus her ass shakes when shes angry
Shut up, Darius!
I love you too, baby!
You fool.
Whats wrong with you?
What's the meaning of this?
And what are they doing here?
Hey, are you all right?
You've already fainted like twice already.
You need to see a doctor.
caught the shenanigans.
What are they doing here?
Come on, relax.
Relax.
I should relax.
Oh, so this is it.
This is your plan.
This is how you want to call your wedding off.
By inviting everybody I've dated before you.
So that when the pastor asks,
"Who wants to oppose the wedding?"
Four idiots can put their hand up.
Come on, calm down.
I mean, it's not what you think.
Then what is it?
I needed answers.
Answers?
What kind of answers?
Answers as to why I broke up with all of them?
Maya, we're going to get married in a week.
And I barely know what's
your favorite dress or colour.
Or sex position.
Get out of here!
Guys, excuse us.
Can you see what this is causing?
What are you trying to pull, Mark?
Say something.
Listen, there is more to
you than meets the eye, all right?
And what better way of knowing
you than to tapping into your history?
And so I got these guys to come in to
help me understand you get to know you well.
Look, you're the sweetest, most
wonderful person I've ever fallen in love with
I don't want to lose you.
So yes, I invited four
losers of your past here to help me
stay on the right path so
that I don't end up losing you.
i can just see your lips moving
but, you're not making any sense, Mark.
All I need is to get to know more about you.
then ask me questions.
Or, ask my mother.
The woman gave birth to
me. She's known me the longest.
she can't give me much information like
how these guys have given me within two days.
And there are things that I, you know, apparently
learned that you wouldn't even want to share.
Mark.
Shh. Just, it's all right.
It's all right. You're
expected to be here on Tuesday anyway.
You are not supposed to have found it like this.
Okay. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Very sorry for interrupting whatever it is.
In fact, you can return to your conference
or whatever it is that you have going on downstairs.
Maya wait...
Stop it!
The only reason I came back is
because you were not picking up your calls.
Like, I was worried I
thought something bad happened.
And you know what? I thank God.
I thank God that I came today and not Tuesday.
Because only God knows what kind of
problem and chaos you would have caused for me.
Mark, I want those men out of my house.
Now.
Why?
Which one is why? are you crazy?
I don't want my ex...
How can you be asking me why?
You're asking me why I want
my ex-boyfriends out of my house?
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I just invited, you
know, five guys into your house and...
Probably a stupid idea.
You said five.
Hey, Jesus, Mark you said five.
I counted four.
Where is the fifth one?
He left.
Who is the last one?
Nana kwame.
Jesus Christ, Mark, you
do all. You finished me.
Look, don't worry about
anything. I have everything under control.
Controller. Controller. Oga controller.
Please control yourself
downstairs to control those men out of my house.
Okay? And I hope you are not even
dreaming of involving them in our wedding.
No, no.
Well, that wouldn't be a bad idea, would it?
Eh? No use me, take
play. Don't play with me. Mark.
I want those men out of my house
now. Mark, get them out of my house now!
Alpha!
Yes, madam?
Did you know they were here?
Madam, who?
The guys.
Which guys, madam?
The guys in the room.
Madam, which guys?
Don't play stupid with me.
Yes, madam, I knew.
Why didn't you tell me?
Madam, because you didn't ask me.
Because I didn't ask you.
No, madam.
Eh, why are you leaving?
Why am I leaving? I've left
the house to you. Do what you want!
Is she hungry?
What do you think?
Sorry.
You know anything that happens
over the weekend, is your fault, right?
Look, what do you do when she's this angry?
Nothing. I've never made her this angry before.
You know what? Just allow her
to cool down, okay? She'll come around.
You're lucky she didn't shave your eyebrows.
I wonder how ugly you would be?
My friend, shut up.
If she didn't enter to see your stupid sexual
nonsense, maybe we could have reasoned with her.
Oh, so now it's my
fault that we all gathered here.
It is your fault!
You've started that your thing.
What? What? You people are fighting
over a lady that is about to get married.
can you think about that for a second.
What is wrong with you two?
My friend, mind your business.
Mind my business?
May I remind you that we
have been in this house for two days?
Talking about the business of someone else.
What is just wrong with the two of you?
Charlie, Charlie, just leave me alone.
I still blame him for my breakup with Maya.
If it wasn't for him, we
would have still been together.
I love Maya. I really do.
And I never imagined that
things were going to end up like this.
Let alone be in her place with the
next guy she's planning on settling down with.
all because of these stupid idiot.
That's not true.
It is true! He was all over his business.
It wasn't him.
The thing ended because of me. Not him.
So if you want to blame someone, blame me.
What do you mean?
Look, we all dated, right?
Sometimes relationships will overlap.
When she was dating you, she started dating me.
When your relationship began to collapse.
Wait. So she dated you, cheated on you with him,
and started dating you when the
relationship was on the brink of failure.
Yeah.
And she got pregnant.
For who?
Us.
It was a joint service kind of thing.
So where is the baby?
Aborted.
No, no, no, no, no.
another abortion.
She...
Well, she got pregnant for me too.
The doctor stated it clearly
that if she had another abortion,
she might not be able to give birth.
I'm just surprised that she did it for you too.
So why didn't you just have the baby?
I was not ready, okay?
I was not.
And my parents didn't like
her. They were a bit tribalistic.
She didn't also know that I
was betrothed to some other woman
who was also pregnant for me.
You see, I sincerely, I truly loved her.
I was ready to leave the other woman for her,
but I was at the risk of losing everything.
That is why I...
That's why you what?
rid her of the joy of child birth.
oh, will you shut up?
Will you shut the hell up?
You are one to talk?
You...
You who stole all her money
and bet it in some stupid business of yours.
Preach.
You sold her house and left her with nothing.
Nothing?
Where were you when I made her who she was?
What did you do?
You bloody gold digger.
After making her what she was,
who did you think brought her up again?
Was i not the one who made her father
have faith her enough
to live his business with her?
After he shredded her into bits.
What did you do for her?
What did you do?
I did everything!
I did everything!
And I'm still doing it.
Why do you think I stayed to this stupid idea?
I stayed because I promised
her that I'll do anything for her.
And I still stand by that.
And that's why I'm here.
What do you think I'm doing?
I gave her everything after my business, soared
Everything.
I even proposed to her.
She said no.
And today I'm here.
helping a man be a better person
to the woman i love
Do you think I'm okay with that?
Don't you think it's killing me that I'm here?
And the world I spent with the woman I love,
my entire world.
The same place I had my heart thrown to the rats.
Well, if you loved her that much,
why didn't you settle for her against all odds?
She wasn't the one.
What? What? What? I don't understand.
She wasn't the one for me.
We could have had it all, but in the end,
I wouldn't have been happy.
But in the end,
don't we want to be happy with the
one we spend the rest of our life with?
She has to be the one.
So, Mark,
I ask you,
is Maya your life-long treasure of destiny?
and how low are you willing to go for her?
Look at them.
My friend, shut up and sit down.
What do you know,
apart from going around and
sleeping with girls of all kind?
Hey, hey, hey.
You don't talk to me like you know me, okay?
I've had enough.
You're here talking about what you did
and what you should have done and all that.
You know nothing.
Talking like real men.
Just boys fighting the
past as if you still hold on to it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, beat me.
Hey, hey, beat me, beat me.
like you did to Maya.
John, you beat Maya?
You.
you thought I was the other guy, right?
Following your woman.
The truth is, Maya herself came to me
because she's had enough of you.
And you,
always borrowing from your...
Wait.
who borrows from a woman and never pays back.
You.
Everyone here thinks
Maya wasn't interested in the marriage.
It was your fault.
you left her at the alter
And even when you left your betrothed,
she waited for you.
You never came back.
She kept waiting for you.
you failed her
You all failed her.
Now you're here talking as if
you know her too well.
You're just some unforgetable
wet page in her book.
It was me.
I was there for the pain.
I was there for the heartbreak.
I had Maya because I loved her.
I let her go because I love her.
We never dated
Yeah.
20 years of friendship.
I asked her out, but she, she refused.
I'm that guy.
She always used me to take care of the pain.
The pain you fools caused her!
Do you still love her?
It looks like,
apparently, some of you
still have strong feelings for her.
So I ask again.
Do you still love her?
Alpha!
Open the gate!
This has been been hell.
Yes it has.
It has been a moment of enlightenment for me.
The wedding is off, so...
If any of you want to leave, you can leave.
Wait, wait. Hey.
She has a daughter.
What?
Yes.
She has a daughter.
I couldn't handle the abortion
when the doctors told me that she,
she might not be able to
give birth if she tries it again.
I think the, the, the,
the pregnancy was five months old.
We had travelled to go and have that abortion.
So I had to deal with the
doctor and told him to do a force labor.
So...
She has a daughter.
Her name is Irene
Does she know?
No.
Wait, Maya, I'm not
understanding this whole thing.
I don't understand the story.
You said Mark did what?
When to meet your exes or when to beat them?
Alpha.
Hello?
What is happening there?
Where?
Don't be stupid!
What is happening in that house now?
Madame, they were inside, chatting about you.
Okay, good. So they've all gone. They've left?
No, Madame. They went to get
food. But they are back inside now.
Back where? To do what?
Madame, I'm not sure.
But what...
Call them.
You can ask them what exactly is going on there.
Madame, just call them.
this foolish man.
Hello?
Did he answer?
No.
What is going on there?
I don't know.
And that Darius guy?
I don't trust him.
hes the least of my problems.
Mark
What are you doing?
like...
So much can go wrong.
Maya, relax, relax. I'm
sure it's one of those things.
One of which things?
Well, I don't know.
Because i'm also as stumped.
I'm trying to understand how
a grown man will act this stupid.
Have you ever seen such a thing before?
Does your ex have something nice
to say about you?
Serwaa, you know how these
relationship things can get very childish.
Somebody is always going to blame
the other person for the reason it failed.
And in this case, I have four people blaming me.
Call him again. Call him again.
He cut the call.
What? ow
Don't cry, Maya. Please. Stop.
Stop.
This is...
This is not supposed to
happen for the second time to me, Serwaa.
I know.
I know, but everything
will settle down and you'll be fine.
I don't know about that.
What do you want?
Hey, can I?
I came to see her.
I heard the news just when I left the house.
Are you happy now?
See what you have caused.
See what all of you have caused.
Darius, you of all people
know what I have been through.
You still went behind my back to do this to me.
Maya, listen.
No! I have heard enough and
you have said enough.
You had your chance.
You used it well.
Please just get out.
Get out.
Get out!
Maya, dont cry.
Don't cry, please.
Listen, you're going to be fine.
Okay, you're going to be okay. Don't cry.
I knew you'd be here.
Don't worry, I was leaving.
Do you know what your stupid actions have caused?
What was your end game?
I have no end...
Let me finish.
You went out there, dig
out her past, to ruin her future.
And to what end?
You know, I hate it when
people say all men are the same.
But I agree.
All men are the same.
Men do stupid things to women.
But what you have done
to my friend by far is the best.
Let me finish.
Did it occur to you why those bastards left?
Do you think that if they were
good men, Maya wouldn't be available?
Serwaa...
Let me finish.
I don't think they told you about themselves.
I don't think they told you.
I don't think they told
you that they were "perverts",
"self-centered",
"soul-snatching", "crazy", "stupid", "greedy men".
Well, some came up.
Oh, you hurt my girl, boy.
You hurt her bad.
Maya is a good woman.
That woman is caring.
That woman is loving.
That woman loves you.
She spends her days thanking God for
all the mistakes she made that led her to you,
not knowing that you were the mistake.
I hope you're happy with yourself.
With all the ups and downs, all her
flaws, all the mistakes, all the negative choices,
you were the one thing
that she knew she did right.
You better pack your shit and leave.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, G.
So, what's going on?
What do you think?
I mean, I rally four guys to come
in to help me get to know my fiance well.
I even lie about the fact that she has cancer
you know, just because I don't have much choice.
I just wanted to know
her and then I get what I wanted.
Maybe I should have just let sleeping dogs lie.
Well, I'm not here to say I told you so.
I actually commend you, honestly.
It takes a lot of guts to do what you did.
Maybe if I had done that, I would have spent the
first few years of my
marriage thinking I'm impotent.
Turns out
my wife couldn't have children.
And that's what broke up
her two prior engagements before me.
So, who knows, if I had done what you did, I would
have known and maybe I
would have handled it better.
Tell me, would you still have done it?
I mean, knowing the kind of information
that you know now that she was barring.
Not knowing everything you need to
know about someone is neither here nor there.
Some people are just made for us.
My wife, for instance, I love her so much.
And she's the one. She's the best person I know.
Everyone comes with baggage. Everyone.
So it's for you to choose to
help the person with that baggage.
And if you said this is the person you want
spend the rest of your life with, then you might as well.
Besides, it turns out my
wife wasn't barren after all.
She just had a problem
with her womb after that was sorted.
Now she's a mother of two.
Yeah, that situation is quite different from ...
No. No, it's not different.
You wanted to know what
you were getting into. Now you do.
So the question is, what are you going to do
with the information you learned about the weekend?
Are you going to help her
through it? or are you going to bail?
The choice is...
What are you doing here?
Hello to you two.
coming to finish what you started?
We're here to talk, bro.
Hey.
Maya never loved us like the way she loves you.
Don't judge her with her past.
I'm not holding anything against her
Then why are you reflecting over things that
are not relevant to the current state of affairs?
What's your problem?
Because, I mean, how do you
know that that someone is the one?
How do you know that she's not
trying to run away from past mistakes with you?
How do you even know
that those things that happened in
the past aren't going to
repeat themselves in the present?
Because the past is not the present.
I wish that you would marry her.
We all do.
But we can't change your
mind. We can only talk about it.
I've said my piece.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Look, I want you guys to be my groomsmen.
What?
You serious?
Yeah.
Are you incredibly stupid or
are you just begotting for punishment?
I...
If I'm going to get this done, then I have
to do it properly. The foundation has to be right.
You're serious?
I mean, I want, you know,
you, I mean, guys who cherish and have
loved my fianc, to be the
ones behind me when I say my vows.
I don't want anybody who's not connected,
who's not this... I need a positive energy and...
And so, I need your help. So
once again, will you be my groomsmen.
He's serious.
I...
I see the tears in my eyes.
I feel so emotional right now.
So stupid.
You know what?
I'm in.
But don't ask us to be godfathers next.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
We are going to the groomsmen. So what's next?
Let's get our suits, our shoes, real shoes.
but when is the wedding?
Not so fast.
Mark.
Yeah?
This is Irene.
Your daughter, to be.
Come on.
Thank you, my dear.
Mark! your baby is grown!
Come to cut off the head
of the snake after killing it.
No.
No, exactly.
We just want to talk.
I know this is awkward.
Yes, it is.
But not anymore.
Behind you.
Maya, I love you.
And that's all that matters to me.
look, I spent this past couple of days
thinking about living my life without you.
And you find any better answer.
I know you've been through a lot.
But I've also gotten to know a lot.
I know Blue is your favorite.
I know you love dogs, but
you're afraid of them at the same time.
I know no matter how stupid your houseboy is,
he still reminds you of your late brother.
I know your love knows no bounds.
I know what makes you come alive.
And I really want to
spend the rest of my life with you.
So it is not too much.
And not too soon.
Maya, will you marry me this weekend?
Yes, yes, I will.
I love you.
The wedding is this weekend.
I thought everything was cancelled.
No.
Did you send any messages to cancel the wedding?
No, no, no. I couldn't.
I didn't want to deal with the brouhaha.
But the cake, the decorations...
Did you tell them the wedding?
No, I didn't send any message.
No.
So the wedding is back on then.
yes
The wedding is on.
Oh.
Hey.
I heard the bride wants to see me.
How do I look?
This is the option for the reception.
Wow.
Trust me, I can't explain.
Try.
You look everything, everywhere, all at once.
How's the groom?
He's perfectly fine.
He can't wait to tie the knot.
Good news.
What?
Can't go through with this wedding, bro.
You're joking.
I can't marry him.
Oh, okay. Maya I get it, you'll be fine.
I mean, I know how you feel.
Look, this too shall pass ok?
No, no, no. You don't understand.
What if this turns out to be a John situation?
Or this turns out to be like the Dave situation?
It's not.
How do you know?
People leave me all the time.
All the time. And they leave me
feeling worse than I ever felt before.
But not you.
You have always come through for me.
You have been there for me.
You have been with me for 20 years.
Jesus, Michael, what are you saying?
I don't know. Maybe I'm making a mistake.
Maybe I'm supposed to be getting married to you.
Hey, hey.
No, no, no.
No, I don't want to hear that.
Think about it. Think about it.
We could run away together.
We could go to Kamasi. You could get a new job.
Stop it.
I could get a new job.
Stop it. You're just saying
all these things because you're scared.
I am not made for you.
Mark is.
But am I not supposed to be with
someone who does things for me the way you do?
Am I not supposed to be with the
person who has been with me in my life for 20 years?
The guy who saved my life.
God made another one of me for you.
Someone who is going to
love you more than I ever will.
Look, I know this
sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.
Okay?
He was made for you. He
loves you. That's why we're all here.
It doesn't have to make sense to make sense.
Are you okay?
Hey, come here.
Oh, Maya.
I know the future is frightening.
but you don't have to go back
to the past because it's familiar.
You're right.
I am being insane.
No. Thank you. You're welcome, dear.
Stop crying, please. I don't see you. I beg you.
We've been waiting for you.
Okay, put yourself together. Let's go there.
Let's get married. Let's
mark this day as one of the best days in your life
I don't want to see those tears.
Come here.
Let me not destroy the makeup.
Please, stop.
Yeah.
- Cheer up, okay? -Okay.
I got you.
I'm waiting
Thank you.
The past should never be triggered.
You might not like what is there.
But it is what happens to us in
the past that makes us who we are today.
Not everything along the way was perfect.
And to be honest, not
everything that follows will be perfect either.
It's okay to panic
about whether or not you've made
the best choice when you're committing to the one.
In the end, all we can do is to promise to love each other with everything we've got.
Because love
is everything
Wow.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some
noise and welcome the biggest act in Ghana!
