Kevin – What?
Amaar still laughing.
– What?
Amaar – You. You’re mad ugly
Kevin – What?
Amaar (chuckling) – You’re mad ugly
Kevin – Ok. And, you have swollen ankles, you fat fuck
Amaar – Ooo, I’ve not heard that one before.
Kevin – Whatever
Amaar – But do you know what I have heard?
Kevin – Amaar, I didn’t call you for this
Amaar – I know, but do you know what I have heard?
Kevin kisses his teeth.
Kevin – What?
Amaar – Oh, nothing. Nothing positive, anyway.
Kevin – What?
Amaar – I’ve never heard anything positive.
Kevin – About what, what are you talking about?
Amaar – I’ve just never heard anything positive/
Kevin – /About what?
Amaar – About ugly people
Amaar bursts into laughter.
Kevin – Really?
Amaar – That was hilarious.
Kevin – No, it wasn’t
Amaar – It was, but hey. Anyway, what you telling me?
Kevin chuckles.
Kevin’s phone rings; he turns to it and rejects the call.
Kevin – Ugh, you and your fat mouth. Simi’s off to bed, I’m going to call you once she’s in, yeah?
Amaar – Huh, aren’t you at home?
Kevin – No, next time shut up and listen.
Amaar – Alright, ugly. Speak soon, I love you.
Kevin – Prick.
Kevin hangs up the phone.
