Start: PAULINA: Seriously Nana? After all I’ve said, you are still eating porridge?
MERCY: Yeah, is this your idea of a diet?
NANA: Well, it’s a smaller portion.
PAULINA: Are you determined to look like a cow?

PAULINA: (takes bite of her apple) You know girls, apples are a very good source of fiber. My American cousins told me there is a parable there that says: “An apple a week, keeps you from being sick.”

GIFTY: (to Nana) They keep you from being sick.
PAULINA: Portion control Nana…
(Nana stops eating and puts the apple down.)
