BUS RANK MARKET- AFTERNOON

THULI jumps off the bus with her suitcase and stands on the pavement with her phone on hand and her eyes moving fast left and right. It looks like she can't reach for someone she is trying to call.

She approaches a female hawker selling veggies and seen going back to the spot.

On the other blink, THULI sees a tall thin-skinned guy with an intimidating look in his face coming out of a cab and approaches her. He is MUZI, a meter taxi driver (30-35) years of age.

MUZI : Awu madoda! Isikhwama esingaka nkosazana ulibangisephi? Bangakuxosha kanjani ekhaya umuhle kanjena!

THULI : (confidently) Sawubona bhut wabantu!

This scene shows two women inside an office/reception (usually where Dr MALI and ZANDI sit for their relief breaks). Dr MALI sits behind the desk and ZANDI is roughly squashing papers into the bin.

DR. MALI : Stop it! ZANDI! These papers of yours are fighting my peace.

ZANDI : Ngiyaxolisa Dr MALI ukuthi nje ngi?

DR. MALI : Ubone imilayezo yentombazane efonini ka "MIGHTY MUZI"?

ZANDI : Cha, kodwa uyoze uyeke nini ukuthanda ukuqagula DR. MALI. Udadewethu akalubambi ucingo , I'm worried she may not know endlini with only street name and number I gave her early morning.

DR. MALI : Awu kanti uzikhathaza ngentomb'endala kanje. She'll probably navigate the place on google maps zishinshile izinto manje ZANDI, MOVE WITH IT DARLIE!

ZANDI : Manje izinto zithi she must not update me with her journey?

DR. MALI : Check your status mama?

( fade out)

It's around 5:40pm and ZANDI is already home. In the kitchen seemingly preparing to cook something, hears the sound of a starting car and quickly peeps through the window to see who the car was dropping.

Another shot shows THULI trying to gather her luggage nearing the entrance gate, ZANDI comes running and screaming joyfully to help her sister with the luggage.

ZANDI : Finally! Ngane ka babah wafika(hugs).

THULI : Angikakholwa! Ngilapha ngempela oe! (hugging and going inside)

(inside the house)

ZANDI : I had a very long day at the surgery today, we'll catch up some other time sister goodnight!

THULI : Night sister.

(lights off)

It's a lousy morning for cab drivers in a nearby shopping centre.

We see MUZI leaning over a car-side as a young talkative thin man approaches him, he is affectionately known as "SAMARITAN" but his problems regularly oppose his name.

SAMARITAN : Ola bra Muzi, ola grootman! Cava the curves, umswenko and those charming looks on what a beautiful face! Hay' abakuyeke nja yam?

MUZI : Yey wena Msamariya obhedayo uthini k'mina?

Around 9:35am ZANDI is preparing for her late morning shift at Dr MALI's surgery. THULI is already up making what looks like a breakfast.

Its afternoon, Thuli is busy cooking and singing so loud that someone outside the gate can clearly hear her song as Zandi makes her way into the house from work.

ZANDI : Hawu! Bengithi sivakashelwe u Whitney Huston noma u Miss-titanic lay' khaya kanti uwena

THULI : Hamnogeza bo, koze kubande nokudla udle ulale, uyeke mina nenjabulo yami(laughs)

On the other side of the town, is a troubled man 'SAMARITAN' holding some plastics filled with goods. He is shouting from a distance away from NOMSA's home

SAMARITAN : NO-O-OMSA! (whistles) NO-----MSAAA!

MAMA-JOY : (opens the door and gets out) yeeey wena! Why usibangela umsindo nje! Ungubani?

It is a lovely morning at the sisters' house! And it seems they both are in mood for a lovely day as ZANDI looks like she has a road to hit though she's not in her work gear.

ZANDI : (opening a fridge door and takes an apple, close the door and THULI enters with her pyjamas)

Morning sis!

THULI : Morning mntase, wamuhle kangaka ekseni! Are you having a tea with the president darling?

I bet the guy is dead-waiting for you, Mrs minister?(pushing her with one hand)

ZANDI : See you later crazy one?

THULI : Bye sister ZANDI! (goes to her phone and dial MUZI, phone rings but no pick up)

Typical of cab driver, "always on the road, can't take calls"?(throws herself in bed)

At some stage in a day, SAMARITAN is walking on the street talking to himself but someone at a distance can't hear his vocals. The troubled man seems to be far from getting over his problems. As he turns the corner, two bad guys try to mug him but?

SAMARITAN : Woah! Woah! Bafethu, angina nex eningayixova daar. I'm just a good Samaritan!

BAD GUY 1 : Gazi! Asibhodise le mpatha iyasjwayela?

SAMARITAN : Tjooo! Bafethu! You're heavenly sent stru! Yaz kade ngafuna ukufa mara ngisaba ukuzibhodisa

Ngiyacela bafethu ningibulale asseblief?

A fast break of a car with a sudden stop, the bad guys run away leaving SAMARITAN stranded with his hands on top of his head as a sign of disappointment.

MUZI : Yeey wena Msamariya ufunani kulendawo egcwele oskhotheni mhm?

SAMARITAN : Entlek why wena grootman uthanda ukufaka leli khala nyana lakho eyindabeni zami tjoe!

SAMARITAN : Tsek nawe man ta MUZI (with a low voice)

(fades away)

ZANDI and MUZI getting out of the car in front of MUZI's house and opens the door to get in.

ZANDI : Wow MUZI! This place looks so different from when I saw it in my past visit, ushintshe ngempela baba!

MUZI : It is all because of you my special one! You really inspired me to cleanliness, dating a nurse

MUZI : (holds her from the back and leads to the bed, singing) NDIKHOKHELE MAMAH! NGUWENA

WEDWA STHANDWA SAMI?(trying jub jub's remix of his own)

(lights off)

In the midst of the cosy action, we are shown THULI on the other page fuming with anger, moving up and down the house and beating her phone up on her other hand? I wonder z'khiphani??

THULI : MUZI come on! Pick up the phone, this might be our only chance to be together. I know you're busy

But please love, I miss you (talking to herself).

It is an afternoon and we see a car stopping by ZANDI's place inside it's MUZI and ZANDI.

MUZI : Only if time did not control our way of life, we'd be together all 24/7 namhlanje kepha?

ZANDI : Isikhathi sthandwa sam, kumele sazise isikhathi ukuze zonke izinto zihambekahle empilweni.

MUZI : (kissing) Awu madoda umgeza-gazi, the mind-blowing kiss..Hambe kahle nana-zee

THULI hears the door opening and runs to her bed like she never woke up, definetly not in the mood for talking to someone who just probably had the most wonderful day.

ZANDI : THULI! THULI! Ngicela ungiboleke i-charger baby girl, my phone is dying.

THULI : (moody) Aibo usuyishonisephi eyakho mntase? Ungangitsheli ukuthi ufike wakubamba inkunzi u-guy..

THULI : Kodwa, lalela phela you must make time for your queen muzi-magic angithi.

"Anglo gold" mine.

MUZI : Don't worry my queen, ngizobalapho in 10 minutes?.

THULI : Better be, you silly man?.

It is getting darker and street lights start to light up the busy streets where people go to-and-from work, SAMARITAN is not an exclusion as he faces yet another baby-mama drama just a few metres after leaving his work cab inside the owner's yard. SAMARITAN did not notice someone and passed! Crap! I wonder ubani lowo?

NOMSA : (hands on waist) "Sawubona Nomsa, kunjani, belinjani ilanga lakho, unjani u Halelujiah ingane yethu?"

SAMARITAN : Oh! Nomsa dan angikuboni, ukuthi sekubamnyama nalana mamah ncese, unjan ko?

SAMRITAN : (throwing his arm back) naweeeeee?.

At THULI's place, She is enjoying herself with MUZI in the dining couch with their eyes on the television, let us get closer and see what happens next.

MUZI : Such a very tasty wine shared with the most beautiful one! Bengingazi ukuthi nawe uthanda iwayini?

THULI : Never judge a cover by its book! Izokuma - nga-za, wena woz'oqa-bu-la

MUZI : Ngi-thi ma - n-qa mamah?

THULI : (Pulling him up and kiss their way to the bedroom) wo-za lana magical lips, show me more magic!

MUZI : Your majesty! Your royal kindness (and he starts to speak tongues all the way) ..

It's 6 am and ZANDI has just finished her night shift as we see her opening the door to enter the house. Greeted by two glasses and a bottle of wine on the coffee table, happy and hopeful to finally meet her sister's bae? The cosy couple is still in bed with THULI's head comfortably on his man's chest fast asleep.

ZANDI : Morning babes!

MUZI : (WHISPERING) THULI! THULI!

THULI : (STILL SLEEPY) Yhini babah ng'salele kamnandi kanje?

MUZI : Kunomuntu okhulumayo la! Futhi nami k'mele ngihambe manje!

MUZI : ZAAAAANDI! (SHOCKED)

THULI : MUZI! MUZI babah! Someone explain to me what's happening here right now!

ZANDI : U Muzi, u MUZI wami kubo bonke abantu THULI! (CRYING TO HER ROOM)

THULI : MUZI wakho? (still in lost) hayi cha sisi kuzomele kume kancane ukukhala ngichazelwe.

ZANDI : THULI you stole my man right under my nose and slept the whole hell of a night under my roof!

You're such a terrible b***ch sister and you've got enough guts for it!(cries louder and throws herself in bed) I hate you! I hate you THULI!

THULI : ( Hitting her head, walking around the house) This bastard played me! Oh yes he did, he played us!

I hate you MUZI! UYINJAH!!!

It's around 6:30 in the morning and SAMARITAN is already on duty. What would you do if you are driving and bumps into a half-naked man crossing the road in a winter morning?

SAMARITAN : Imani, imani maybe angifojeli grand grand or maybe amehlo ami (starting wipers as he slows down

to stop the car aside and the naked man is already on the passenger door)

MUZI : SAMARITAN! Vul'iscabha ntwanayam ishubile (getting in)

SAMARITAN : JESUS! GROOTMAN z'khipani nou waphuma nge half time kubanda kanjena?

MUZI : Ntwanayam! That's the story for another time leso. Ngiphuthumise ekhaya ndoda.

SAMARITAN : K' zomele ukhoke ke bra MUZI, cause I was about to accept a good trip request babawam.

MUZI : As long as you take me home ukuthi ngigqoke okunye kuyobonakala k'qoqwa.

SAMARITAN : (TALKING TO HIMSELF AS MUZI JUMPS OFF TO HIS HOUSE) Ei nc-nc-nc?

"Football can kill you, kill you real death!" (laughing out) uphume nemali yami ndoda?

Fades off?

It's almost midday now and the sisters who turned out to be si-STARS now that they have shared the same boyfriend, haven't talked to each other ever since the early morning incident. THULI seems to be still much confused and can't believe they both never talked about their love lives for so long. Meanwhile ZANDI is busy on her phone deleting everything that has to do with MUZI from messages to image photos and still can't believe her long-term relationship with MUZI dies this tragic kind of death.

THULI : (SEEMINGLY DOWN, SHOWS UP IN ZANDI'S DOOR WAY) Sisi wami we've been both

played, we did not know everything but only MUZI did and he chose to play us like?.

ZANDI : (STANDS UP AND GENTLY PULL THULI TO SEAT IN BED) Mntase, I know that but

It's so hard to believe that MUZI would hurt me like this, most of all with my sister and in my home!

THULI : (ONE DROP OF TEAR GOES DOWN THE CHEEK) AMADODA AYOHLEZI EYIZINJA!!

ZANDI : But I also blame myself for not leading you in talking about our love life stuff, cause it wouldn't

be easy for demons like that cab driver to split our souls apart (holds her sister and cries).

THULI : If I was brave and had guts, I would take a sharp knife and cut amasende kaMUZI!!

ZANDI : Mina I would shoot him ten times in his buttocks (laughs)

THULI : I LOVE YOU MY SISTER (holds her tight)

ZANDI : I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MNTASE. Now let's go and kidnap that dog MUZI

THULI : AND TEACH HIM SOME RESPECT!!! "SISTERS FOREVER"



TO BE? THE END?

BUS RANK MARKET- AFTERNOON

She approaches a female hawker selling veggies and seen going back to the spot.

On the other blink, THULI sees a tall thin-skinned guy with an intimidating look in his face coming out of a cab and approaches her. He is MUZI, a meter taxi driver (30-35) years of age.

MUZI : Awu madoda! Isikhwama esingaka nkosazana ulibangisephi? Bangakuxosha kanjani ekhaya umuhle kanjena!

THULI : (confidently) Sawubona bhut wabantu!

MUZI : Ngiyaxolisa nkosazana! Igama lami uMUZI I am cab driver! Tell me your destination, I'll take it from there. (efaka suitcase ebootin)

This scene shows two women inside an office/reception (usually where Dr MALI and ZANDI sit for their relief breaks). Dr MALI sits behind the desk and ZANDI is roughly squashing papers into the bin.

DR. MALI : Stop it! ZANDI! These papers of yours are fighting my peace.

ZANDI : Ngiyaxolisa Dr MALI ukuthi nje ngi?

DR. MALI : Ubone imilayezo yentombazane efonini ka "MIGHTY MUZI"?

ZANDI : Cha, kodwa uyoze uyeke nini ukuthanda ukuqagula DR. MALI. Udadewethu akalubambi ucingo , I'm worried she may not know endlini with only street name and number I gave her early morning.

ZANDI : Manje izinto zithi she must not update me with her journey?

DR. MALI : Check your status mama?

( fade out)

It's around 5:40pm and ZANDI is already home. In the kitchen seemingly preparing to cook something, hears the sound of a starting car and quickly peeps through the window to see who the car was dropping.

Another shot shows THULI trying to gather her luggage nearing the entrance gate, ZANDI comes running and screaming joyfully to help her sister with the luggage.

ZANDI : Finally! Ngane ka babah wafika(hugs).

THULI : Angikakholwa! Ngilapha ngempela oe! (hugging and going inside)

ZANDI : I had a very long day at the surgery today, we'll catch up some other time sister goodnight!

THULI : Night sister.

(lights off)

It's a lousy morning for cab drivers in a nearby shopping centre.

We see MUZI leaning over a car-side as a young talkative thin man approaches him, he is affectionately known as "SAMARITAN" but his problems regularly oppose his name.

SAMARITAN : Ola bra Muzi, ola grootman! Cava the curves, umswenko and those charming looks on what a beautiful face! Hay' abakuyeke nja yam?

MUZI : Yey wena Msamariya obhedayo uthini k'mina?

Fades out?



Around 9:35am ZANDI is preparing for her late morning shift at Dr MALI's surgery. THULI is already up making what looks like a breakfast.

Its afternoon, Thuli is busy cooking and singing so loud that someone outside the gate can clearly hear her song as Zandi makes her way into the house from work.

ZANDI : Hawu! Bengithi sivakashelwe u Whitney Huston noma u Miss-titanic lay' khaya kanti uwena

On the other side of the town, is a troubled man 'SAMARITAN' holding some plastics filled with goods. He is shouting from a distance away from NOMSA's home

SAMARITAN : NO-O-OMSA! (whistles) NO-----MSAAA!

MAMA-JOY : (opens the door and gets out) yeeey wena! Why usibangela umsindo nje! Ungubani?

It is a lovely morning at the sisters' house! And it seems they both are in mood for a lovely day as ZANDI looks like she has a road to hit though she's not in her work gear.

ZANDI : (opening a fridge door and takes an apple, close the door and THULI enters with her pyjamas)

Morning sis!

THULI : Morning mntase, wamuhle kangaka ekseni! Are you having a tea with the president darling?

ZANDI : See you later crazy one?

THULI : Bye sister ZANDI! (goes to her phone and dial MUZI, phone rings but no pick up)

Typical of cab driver, "always on the road, can't take calls"?(throws herself in bed)

At some stage in a day, SAMARITAN is walking on the street talking to himself but someone at a distance can't hear his vocals. The troubled man seems to be far from getting over his problems. As he turns the corner, two bad guys try to mug him but?

SAMARITAN : Woah! Woah! Bafethu, angina nex eningayixova daar. I'm just a good Samaritan!

BAD GUY 1 : Gazi! Asibhodise le mpatha iyasjwayela?

SAMARITAN : Tjooo! Bafethu! You're heavenly sent stru! Yaz kade ngafuna ukufa mara ngisaba ukuzibhodisa

Ngiyacela bafethu ningibulale asseblief?

A fast break of a car with a sudden stop, the bad guys run away leaving SAMARITAN stranded with his hands on top of his head as a sign of disappointment.

MUZI : Yeey wena Msamariya ufunani kulendawo egcwele oskhotheni mhm?

SAMARITAN : Entlek why wena grootman uthanda ukufaka leli khala nyana lakho eyindabeni zami tjoe!

ZANDI and MUZI getting out of the car in front of MUZI's house and opens the door to get in.

ZANDI : Wow MUZI! This place looks so different from when I saw it in my past visit, ushintshe ngempela baba!

MUZI : It is all because of you my special one! You really inspired me to cleanliness, dating a nurse

WEDWA STHANDWA SAMI?(trying jub jub's remix of his own)

(lights off)

In the midst of the cosy action, we are shown THULI on the other page fuming with anger, moving up and down the house and beating her phone up on her other hand? I wonder z'khiphani??

THULI : MUZI come on! Pick up the phone, this might be our only chance to be together. I know you're busy

But please love, I miss you (talking to herself).

It is an afternoon and we see a car stopping by ZANDI's place inside it's MUZI and ZANDI.

MUZI : Only if time did not control our way of life, we'd be together all 24/7 namhlanje kepha?

ZANDI : Isikhathi sthandwa sam, kumele sazise isikhathi ukuze zonke izinto zihambekahle empilweni.

MUZI : (kissing) Awu madoda umgeza-gazi, the mind-blowing kiss..Hambe kahle nana-zee

THULI hears the door opening and runs to her bed like she never woke up, definetly not in the mood for talking to someone who just probably had the most wonderful day.

ZANDI : THULI! THULI! Ngicela ungiboleke i-charger baby girl, my phone is dying.

THULI : (moody) Aibo usuyishonisephi eyakho mntase? Ungangitsheli ukuthi ufike wakubamba inkunzi u-guy..

MUZI : Don't worry my queen, ngizobalapho in 10 minutes?.

THULI : Better be, you silly man?.

It is getting darker and street lights start to light up the busy streets where people go to-and-from work, SAMARITAN is not an exclusion as he faces yet another baby-mama drama just a few metres after leaving his work cab inside the owner's yard. SAMARITAN did not notice someone and passed! Crap! I wonder ubani lowo?

NOMSA : (hands on waist) "Sawubona Nomsa, kunjani, belinjani ilanga lakho, unjani u Halelujiah ingane yethu?"

SAMARITAN : Oh! Nomsa dan angikuboni, ukuthi sekubamnyama nalana mamah ncese, unjan ko?

SAMRITAN : (throwing his arm back) naweeeeee?.

At THULI's place, She is enjoying herself with MUZI in the dining couch with their eyes on the television, let us get closer and see what happens next.

MUZI : Such a very tasty wine shared with the most beautiful one! Bengingazi ukuthi nawe uthanda iwayini?

THULI : Never judge a cover by its book! Izokuma - nga-za, wena woz'oqa-bu-la

MUZI : Ngi-thi ma - n-qa mamah?

THULI : (Pulling him up and kiss their way to the bedroom) wo-za lana magical lips, show me more magic!

MUZI : Your majesty! Your royal kindness (and he starts to speak tongues all the way) ..

It's 6 am and ZANDI has just finished her night shift as we see her opening the door to enter the house. Greeted by two glasses and a bottle of wine on the coffee table, happy and hopeful to finally meet her sister's bae? The cosy couple is still in bed with THULI's head comfortably on his man's chest fast asleep.

ZANDI : Morning babes!

MUZI : (WHISPERING) THULI! THULI!

THULI : (STILL SLEEPY) Yhini babah ng'salele kamnandi kanje?

MUZI : Kunomuntu okhulumayo la! Futhi nami k'mele ngihambe manje!

THULI : MUZI! MUZI babah! Someone explain to me what's happening here right now!

THULI : MUZI wakho? (still in lost) hayi cha sisi kuzomele kume kancane ukukhala ngichazelwe.

ZANDI : THULI you stole my man right under my nose and slept the whole hell of a night under my roof!

You're such a terrible b***ch sister and you've got enough guts for it!(cries louder and throws herself in bed) I hate you! I hate you THULI!

THULI : ( Hitting her head, walking around the house) This bastard played me! Oh yes he did, he played us!

I hate you MUZI! UYINJAH!!!

It's around 6:30 in the morning and SAMARITAN is already on duty. What would you do if you are driving and bumps into a half-naked man crossing the road in a winter morning?

SAMARITAN : Imani, imani maybe angifojeli grand grand or maybe amehlo ami (starting wipers as he slows down

to stop the car aside and the naked man is already on the passenger door)

MUZI : SAMARITAN! Vul'iscabha ntwanayam ishubile (getting in)

SAMARITAN : JESUS! GROOTMAN z'khipani nou waphuma nge half time kubanda kanjena?

MUZI : Ntwanayam! That's the story for another time leso. Ngiphuthumise ekhaya ndoda.

SAMARITAN : K' zomele ukhoke ke bra MUZI, cause I was about to accept a good trip request babawam.

MUZI : As long as you take me home ukuthi ngigqoke okunye kuyobonakala k'qoqwa.

SAMARITAN : (TALKING TO HIMSELF AS MUZI JUMPS OFF TO HIS HOUSE) Ei nc-nc-nc?

"Football can kill you, kill you real death!" (laughing out) uphume nemali yami ndoda?

Fades off?

It's almost midday now and the sisters who turned out to be si-STARS now that they have shared the same boyfriend, haven't talked to each other ever since the early morning incident. THULI seems to be still much confused and can't believe they both never talked about their love lives for so long. Meanwhile ZANDI is busy on her phone deleting everything that has to do with MUZI from messages to image photos and still can't believe her long-term relationship with MUZI dies this tragic kind of death.

THULI : (SEEMINGLY DOWN, SHOWS UP IN ZANDI'S DOOR WAY) Sisi wami we've been both

played, we did not know everything but only MUZI did and he chose to play us like?.

ZANDI : (STANDS UP AND GENTLY PULL THULI TO SEAT IN BED) Mntase, I know that but

It's so hard to believe that MUZI would hurt me like this, most of all with my sister and in my home!

THULI : (ONE DROP OF TEAR GOES DOWN THE CHEEK) AMADODA AYOHLEZI EYIZINJA!!

ZANDI : But I also blame myself for not leading you in talking about our love life stuff, cause it wouldn't

be easy for demons like that cab driver to split our souls apart (holds her sister and cries).

THULI : If I was brave and had guts, I would take a sharp knife and cut amasende kaMUZI!!

ZANDI : Mina I would shoot him ten times in his buttocks (laughs)

THULI : I LOVE YOU MY SISTER (holds her tight)

ZANDI : I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MNTASE. Now let's go and kidnap that dog MUZI

THULI : AND TEACH HIM SOME RESPECT!!! "SISTERS FOREVER"



TO BE? THE END?
