NOLLYWOOD/ACTION:TAKE 1..............'THIS AMERICA" CONTINUES..

Continue from previous post-

                                                                CAB DRIVER (CONT' D)
                                            You know something? You remind me of
                                             someone.... I don't know if you grew up
                                             the same way but my parents, along with
                                             many people from Nigeria, would travel to
                                             London in the 70's... By the way how old
                                             are you?

          Jane gives him a hard look and stares out of the window without answering.
                                        
                                                              CAB DRIVER (CONT' D)
                                             Well, to make a long story short. I was
                                              just going to say that your hair reminds
                                              me of how people use to dress their hair
                                              in the 70's. It is an odd looking piece.
                                              You do not  see much of that anymore.
         
          The driver demonstrates how the style was by waving his hands around his
           hair.

           Jane clears her throat to prevent herself from giggling.
                                               
                                                               CAB DRIVER ( CONT'D)
                                                               (to Jane)
                                                   Well here you 7200 N. Sheridan Road. I hope
                                                    you are more talkative socially than what you
                                                    made yourself out to be here.

 Jane pays the driver and gets out slamming the door.

           
INT. JANE'S APARTMENT -      DAY

Jane walks into her bathroom and straight to the mirror to see what all the fuss is about regarding her hair.

                                                                JANE
                                                                (to her self)
                                                      I don't know what makes him think he can
                                                      talk to you in that manner? (staring at her self in the mirror)
                                                      How rude. A total stranger. He doesn't even have a clue.
                                                      Just a taxi driver that's all.

Jane moves the hair around her head revealing that she is wearing a wig that is worn over her own hair.
                                                                  JANE  (CONT' D)
                                                                 (to the wig on her head)
                                                       I think it's time I let go of you huh? If
                                                       a cabbie is going to ridicule me because
                                                       of you, then you can't be that great.

Jane giggles to herself as she goes into her living room to pick up the phone.
