Continue from the previous post.

CHICAGO-                                           (Inside the taxi )                              DAY             


                                                    CAB DRIVER ( CONT' D)
                                                 (to the rearview mirror)
                            Well I know a little about Nigeria. If I was to guess I would guess Nigeria.
                             It's been a while since I have been there, but where in Nigeria are you from?
                             Ibo, Lissa... am I close?

THE DRIVER TALKS TO THE REARVIEW AND CLEARS HIS THROAT.

                                                     CAB DRIVER (CONT' D)
                             I'm going to go with Ibo. Your from Ibo aren't you?
                             I know, I have a good sense of  people.
                             A sixth sense if you will. There was this one fair I had.
                             I remember it well. It was raining very badly and this
                             woman gets into my cab, Asain I believe.
                             Anyway she gets into my cab and she---
                                           
                                                       JANE
                                                 (softly)
                               ----No I'm not from Ibo.

                                                       CAB DRIVER
                               Pardon?

                                                        JANE
                                I am  not from Ibo.
                                                 
                                                        CAB DRIVER
                                Oh.....so where are you fron then?

                                                         JANE
                                 I think you passed up my place.

                                                        CAB DRIVER
                                 Relax. I know where I'm going- it's ok.
                                 These streets are my life.  I take pride in what I do.
                                 There aren't many people that are educated in the means of transportation;
                                 we are taken for granted.

Jane stares out of the window to avoid eye contact with the driver. [ Cab driver is your life, Jane thought to herself]
