Disconnect: The Wedding Planner

Modify by Blue-Bird™

Thank you so much.

Thank you. No. I will.

Aw, this looks amazing.

-Dee! Hello. -Hello.

Mwah!

-Please sit. -Thank you.

-Okay. -You look amazing by the way.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hey, so would you like to order something to eat?

-No. I'm fine, thank you. -You sure?

Mm-hmm.

'Cause you know it's gonna be weird watching me watching you eat… watching…

-Yeah? You sure? -I know.

Okay.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

It's delicious. Mmm.

-Um, Otis… -Hmm?

-What are we? -Huh?

Are we a thing or just a fling?

Excuse me, madam.

-Here is the menu. -Thank you.

Dee, see I thought we were keeping things casual.

When you help me, I help you. We help each other.

Did you change your mind?

I need something more than just the physical, you know.

Slow down, eh.

It's so hard to put this in words.

I… I think that,

-maybe we-- -Okay, okay. Dee? Um… So…

Ugh!

There isn't an us.

Yeah?

And if you hoped that maybe things will change down the road,

well, you hoped wrong.

This isn't happening.

I do not do relationships.

Okay?

I mean, come on, look around you. Look.

Uhn?

Okay.

Dee. Dee. Sit.

-I booked a room. -Fuck you.

Dee. Dee.

Hey, Patricia.

No, I'm just having cake. By myself.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

No, I am at uh, Urban Eatery. Yeah.

Come through, come over. Come over.

Dele!

Okay, let's talk about some of the concerns that you might have.

I can tell you that right now is not a good time to talk, Otis.

No. Dele, listen

I know it's only been a year since your mom's funeral,

but if your mom and my mom were still alive,

they'd be so happy to see us doing business together.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to respectfully decline.

Dele, please tell me, what does it take to have your secret change of funding?

Just get it done! Ah!

Um, hold on a second, Otis. Let me come back to you.

Hey babe, what's wrong?

Ah, like I'm so tired. Babe, I'm stressed out. I'm, I'm tired.

-Ah, I don't know. -What can I do to help?

Dele.

Babe, I don't know. Maybe I should take a month off and and sort things out.

Nonsense!

Not when you're working on the biggest case of your career.

What do you want me to do?

What's up with the wedding planner?

But I told you… Oh babe, you don't even listen when I talk to you.

I told you this, I don't trust this wedding planner.

The one I originally wanted is booked till end of year.

You know what? Just don't worry about this.

-Okay? -I shouldn't worry about it?

Babe, we have a very important wedding.

You are telling me not to worry about it?

Okay. Uh, hey Rita!

What do you think,

about a dream destination wedding in Mombasa?

Otis? He's been listening the whole time?

Uh, hey listen. Uh, it'll…

it would be… it's a fabulous idea for both of you.

Um…

Hi, Otis.

A traditional destination wedding?

Yeah, let me handle it.

Um Otis, are you even qualified? What do you know about planning weddings?

What?!

I have a degree. I did a Major in Wedding Planning. I got you.

Oh okay, Otis. Um, say we let you handle it, right?

Isn't it too late to find something nice?

Rita, stop this foolishness.

Babe!

Please listen to him.

What can we do about the venue?

Ah. So…

I have a friend, okay?

She is from Tanzania. She is called Nandi. Wonderful lady,

and she owns a resort.

Can I give her a call first thing tomorrow morning?

It has to be a Yoruba wedding.

Of course, yes. Yes.

Dude, she's a minute away.

Dele, thank you, okay?

I love you, bro. Mwah!

Oh yo!

That was Dele. He's on board.

We just have to do some tiny little bitty thing for him.

Love to see you closing deals. Josh would be proud.

Ah, come on, man.

It's been three years. Three years since Josh ditched us

and fucked off to Amsterdam with Belinda. You know, my mom…

My mom left us with the company. That's how lucky we are.

Nick, into banking.

Let It go. Okay?

Let's have some fun.

Let's party!

Hello?

Anybody home?

Judy?

Madam?

What the f--

Happy Birthday!

You actually did this for me. Thank you.

It was actually him.

-Who? -He set it up.

This monkey? Lies.

Monkey?

You're welcome, TK.

And don't you say

I have never done anything for you.

Have you though?

You should actually take some credit too, Celine.

You know, for helping plan all of this.

Yes! My man, Dele.

-Hey. -Hey.

Is everything okay?

Mm-hmm.

Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

Um…

What's up?

I just wanted to take you out for a thank-you drink.

I mean this party is… It means a lot.

Uh yeah, when, when were you thinking?

Next week. Friday?

-Next week. Friday? -Mm-hmm.

Let me just check the calendar, you know, just in case uh…

see what I'm up to on Friday. Hey,

-it's Valentine's. -Oh is it?

Yes.

You know this--

Oh. Hi, Otis.

te.

Belinda.

Hey.

Valerie.

Grace.

-Uh… -I'm just gonna…

No.

Uh T, TK…

Three million.

That's my final offer.

How about we do this?

We sell for 3.5 million…

Mm-hmm.

…you pay two million now,

that covers the first half pay for my services and the vendors.

If everything is good to your liking,

you pay the remaining 1.5. That covers the rest of my pay,

the professional video and the wedding album.

How does that sound?

Sounds good.

Draw up the contract by tomorrow and I can send the first pay.

Sounds good to me.

Perhaps, we can discuss the wedding details over lunch.

In all fairness, setbacks in any projects are inevitable.

Thankfully here at Pinnacle Development, we have contingencies in place.

And because of that, I can assure you,

the estimated completion date for the Capilano Plaza,

is May 2025. Thank you.

Okay. Ladies and gents, any questions?

Miss Maina,

in a culture where it takes months to break ground,

what makes Pinnacle Management different?

In the last ten years, out of 40 Kenyan projects,

fifteen were completed on time.

A third of all those 15 were Pinnacle.

And that is why you're here, right?

Fair enough.

But how do I respond to my partners at Fairmont Capital,

when they hear it's some woman who will be running the show?

That is a very brave question to ask me.

Well, since I started working with Pinnacle,

our overrun costs moved from 8.5 to 3.95.

That is half of the industry's average.

I need something more convincing than your credentials.

Try a personal touch.

How about effective communication?
