The following scene from the original script could be included (if time demands it) after
Yinka rips her tapestry in two.

                   INTERIOR:  TEMPLE.  AN OLD MAN CHANTING A
                    PRAYER IS HEARD.  THEN THE SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS
                    AND THE VOICE FALLS SILENT.
 

BABU:        Who's there?  Who disturbs the peace of the
                    temple?

ADAMELE:  It is I Babu, Adamele.

BABU:         Oh hello young man.  Come in, come in.  It is
                    good to see you.  What can I do for you?

ADAMELE:  I have come to make arrangements for a
                    marriage.

BABU:         What?  So soon?  Yinka will be pleased.

ADAMELE:  It is not Yinka I wish to marry sir...

BABU:          Not Yinka?  Then who?

ADAMELE:  I know it is the custom of our people to marry
                    within our tribe and I do not wish to offend
                    my people or my gods, but tell me Babu, is it
                    not possible to marry outside our people?

BABU:         Well, such marriages are frowned upon,
                    naturally;  but they take place more
                    frequently than you might think.  Er, she's
                    not a town girl is she Adamele?

ADAMELE:  No sir.  She's from a village in the forest.

BABU:        Good, good.  Only the townswomen who have come
                    here in the past have never been happy.
                    They're always disruptive elements.  I
                    remember one girl who came her... Now let me
                    see that will have been seven, or was it eight
                    years ago...  No, no, it must have been
                    longer...

ADAMELE: This girl will be no trouble Babu.  She is
                    used to village life.   I know she will settle
                    easily.  She's willing to learn as well and-

BABU:         (INTERRUPTING)  Is she by Ogun's beard?  Now
                    that is a good sign in a young woman.

ADAMELE:  Then you don't see any objections in the path
                    of our marriage?

BABU:         No, no.   Though I can't plead your case
                    myself you understand...

ADAMELE:  Yes I understand.  I will ask my brother to
                    bring it before the council.   Thank you Babu.
                    Oh thank you!

BABU:         Before you go rushing off, there is one thing.

ADAMELE:  Yes?

BABU:         Yinka.  She has been expecting to become your
                    wife.  Have you told her, and does she accept
                    your decision?

ADAMELE:  No need to trouble yourself there sir.   I
                    went to see her this morning and she gave us
                    both her blessing.

BABU:         Oh well, that's settled then.  When do you
                    want the ceremony?

ADAMELE:  I hadn't thought about that.  As soon as
                    possible, I suppose.

BABU:         I've always thought the minimum mourning
                    period should be one month, not three.  So how
                    about next week?  Say the day after the
                    harvest celebrations?

ADAMELE:  That would be fine.  Oh thank you Babu. Thank
                    you so much!  (HE GOES)

BABU:        Ah youth.   Always so foolishly impatient.
