This is Love
Thoughts, Love Lines,

and a message to Korina
of Las Pinas, from Mr. Blue.

Dear Korina,
I know you are listening.

Korina, I'm sorry
if I had to say this to Roni,

this is the only way I know
how to reach out to you.

Korina, I'm really sorry,

I know that I have taken you
for granted.

So many times you try to tell me

that you're trying
to understand,

and so many times it's me
who fails to understand.

Maybe it's because I always
thought that whatever happens,

you'll always be there for me.

I didn't realize that one day,

you will say goodbye
and mean it.

Now I realize my mistake,

and even if I know
that it's close to impossible

that you will come back to me,

I want you to know
that I miss you.

I am so sorry that I hurt you,

but I think I should let you
know that I still love you,

and now that you're no longer
with me.

- I realized that...
- Hello?

Marian, what are you doing?

Love Mr. Blue,

from San Antonio
Village, Makati.

♪ I want her to know
That I love her ♪

♪ That was my only dream ♪

- Are you ready, boss?
- Okay.

Hi.

- You're early.
- There's more stuff.

Hey, Veronica,
visit us at our new place.

It's near the university.

Sure. You two take care,
especially you with that.

You too.

I'll miss the noise
your typewriter makes.

I'm sure. But I have to go.

I'm going to be late.

Don't forget to call me
or come visit.

- Okay. Thanks again, Veronica.
- Yes.

I'll just leave the keys
with Mr. Palacios.

- I'll take care of it.
- Are you sure? Okay, bye!

- Take care.
- Bye!

Come and visit us soon.

We'll just go bowling.

But I don't know how.

My gosh! How will you learn
if you don't even try?

You'll just get annoyed with me.

But what else will you do?
Stay home and watch TV?

I'm in the middle of a book.

Oh, my gosh, you're surrounded
by books all day.

Then you'll read again
when you get home?

Please come and play
bowling with Meldy and I.

Maybe next time.

- Come on, you promised.
- I never promised you anything.

Willie will talk to your mother.
She'll just talk to Aunt Ched.

Give me a break.

She's the one who wants a date.
Don't drag me into this.

Come on. They won't allow me
if you're not coming.

You should've beaten him up.

Babe, give it to me.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Here.

Wow, why is this so thick?
How many pages are there?

- Twelve.
- Twelve?

The professor might not
believe that I did this myself.

Okay, I have to go.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

It's stated there when you have
to start with your practicum.

The schedule has been arranged
according to your request.

Why was I assigned in Ortigas?

How many hours
is your practicum?

- One hundred twenty hours.
- Can you finish that?

It's a requirement.
What can I do?

Hey, your eyes,

your contact lens
might come off.

You keep staring at the boys.

Have you seen
Eugene Buenaventura's girl?

He's so handsome,

but his girlfriend
looks like a laundrywoman.

Aunt, it's like this,
the whole gang is going out.

And we'll just... Go to a disco.

Of course, with the boys.

But I assure you
these boys are nice.

They're from Ateneo.

Just a second.
Willie, hold on...

Oh, my! Diosa, what's
the matter with you?

Separate all the ones with yam.
They have to be in order.

Don't put
all the boxes together.

You're so annoying.

Willie, where were we?

Hey, Diosa! Come on!
You're being difficult!

I told you to separate the ones
with the pastries.

Its part of an order.

Mrs. Paredes is picking
that up later this afternoon.

Do you understand?
You're so difficult!

What are you smiling at?
Go check the oven.

Our house might burn down.
All you do is say yes.

Yes, Willie, Ateneo...
what about Ateneo?

- What did my mother say?
- Mission accomplished.

Get dolled up
and make yourself pretty.

I don't want
to disappoint Ronald.

I had to give Elaine a present

just to be able
to set up this date.

- Meldy, card.
- Thank you.

Read the card.

Ah, Veronica,

you know Professor Boni Aguas,
from the Physics Department.

How could I forget?

Every time he comes here,
you introduce him to me.

- Oh, so you know each other.
- Of course.

How embarrassing for me. Sorry.

Sorry.

- Hey!
- What?

Veronica, phone call.
A boy.

After eight? No I can't make it.
How about Saturday, around four?

I'm not free in the morning.
After four is much better.

Okay, good.

So I don't have to give you
the address anymore?

Okay, thank you, Mr. Montinola.
Mr. Montinola, thank you. Bye.

Why are you looking
at me that way?

- Ooh, she has a date!
- What date?

I posted my apartment
in the classified ads.

Someone's interested
in renting it.

- Is he single?
- I don't know.

As long as he has money
to pay for the rent,

I wouldn't care
if he has three wives.

You're such a fool!
She found out!

Don't tell me you regret going
on a date with Shirley.

No, I was even defensive.

That's right.
Don't ever admit anything.

Yeah, that's right.

In the end, she even apologized

for what I said about her
not trusting me. See?

Right! That's my man! Right!

Thank you, man! Take care!

- Four o'clock tomorrow.
- See you!

Bye. Thank you, man.

Come here.

What's your problem?
You've been very quiet.

What am I supposed to say?

All you talk about
with your friends is crap!

Do you have your period?
Why are you so touchy?

You know I wonder what you say

to Gerry and Wally
behind my back.

I mean, gosh, you know,

the way you talk about
your women! It's too much!

That's bad. I don't like it
when you act so insecure.

Marian, who are you
really going out with?

Friends of Willie.

Where are you going?

I don't know. Willie planned it.

I don't trust your friend.

She's so young
to be such a flirt!

Wait. Who's picking you up?

Didn't Willie's mother
leave her family

to elope with this stranger...
an Australian?

Why do you have to bring up
Willie's mom right now?

Of course, like mother,
like daughter, right?

Lelang, there's
someone at the door.

Wait, it must be Patrick.
I don't think Mylene is ready.

Mylene! Hurry up,
your date is here! Mylene!

- Patrick, have something to eat.
- I have eaten.

I'll just meet some people
with Mylene.

Did you set up
your car's sound system?

Come, you wanna look?

- Let's go.
- Daddy!

Daddy!
Look at Mylene.

What?

Aren't you going
to catch a cold?

Daddy, please.

Daddy, isn't she beautiful?

Love Thoughts, Love Lines.

Hi! This is Roni Night,

inviting you to spend
this evening with me.

Our first letter
is from Willie of Parañaque,

to Ronald of Ateneo.

Hi, Ronald.

I don't know how you're going
to react to this letter.

But I have met you
about twice before.

I am sure you remember me.

And I am now so excited

because finally we will get
to know each other better.

That's why
I can't wait for Saturday.

When we will go out and
discover each other.

Ronald, I know that you can be
special to me

and I can...

If we open our hearts
and give each other a chance.

So here's with a hope that
we will have a beautiful date

which may be the beginning
of something great.

Love, Willie,
to Ronald of Ateneo.

- Hello?
- Marian!

They're playing my song!
Did you hear it? Oh my...

- Ms. Fernandez?
- Yeah?

Please follow me.

It's kind of chaotic today.

There's a presentation.
It's a battle zone inside.

But the marketing team
where you were assigned is here.

You should meet Mr. Molina.

- Who's Mr. Molina?
- Your new boss.

Cut! Cut! Cut!

There is something wrong.
It's a little thin.

What do you mean?

Look, we identified our market
already as young adults,

you know, until thirty.

Frankly, I think
it's a teenybopper.

Didn't we just discuss
that it's for the youth?

You must have noticed that
the campaign is quite mature.

We can still change it,
right, Jed?

What is it that you want really?

It shouldn't be cute.

What if we inject
a little sex in the concept?

Oh! I like that, sex.
There's sensuality.

Angel, this is a body shampoo,
not a lubricant.

Ma'am, the intern is here.

Maybe Jed should see the visuals

so he can appreciate the jingle.

- Ma'am?
- Yes?

It's Miss Fernandez, the intern.

Good morning.

- What's your name?
- Babsy Fernandez.

Babsy, can you please
make us coffee?

- Who wants coffee?
- I don't like cream.

Just sugar.
One and a half teaspoon.

Me too.

Okay, who else wants coffee?
Raise your hands!

I think she's responsible.
Look who's coming!

Raffy, why are you late?
Raffy?

What meeting?
Have you made progress?

Well, we're still
making comments

on the jingle that was made.

- Uh, Raffy, you like coffee?
- Sure. Can I have one, please?

Hey, can you make
one more coffee?

Wait, it really sucks.
Listen to it.

Why are you so serious
about that practicum?

I want to graduate, of course.

And you, are you taking care
of your assignments?

I'll make arrangements.

I don't want to look
stupid being a slave

to those executives.

Are you going
to have dinner here?

Yes.

Zeny, I need to ask you
something.

I've been calling for hours.
Why was the phone line busy?

- I don't know.
- "I don't know."

You're always talking
to the drivers of the neighbors.

- That's not true.
- "That's not true."

I've been calling to ask
what time I should pick her up,

but I couldn't get through.

Hey, Zeny, stop pestering
Mrs. Poblador's driver.

- She's called my attention.
- But that's not true.

Come on!

You know what, babe,

I wouldn't be surprised
if your maid gets pregnant.

She's just at home,
but she's wearing makeup.

When are you taking care
of your practicum?

Are you planning to graduate
this March

or are you planning
to wallow in school?

Don't worry, babe.

I'm doing my practicum
at my father's office.

The coach will talk to the dean.
I don't have to waste 120 hours.

Besides, I'm working there
after I graduate.

And also, we're getting married
after we graduate.

You wouldn't have to work.

I don't know why you have
to work hard on that assignment.

- Lester, please!
- What?

- Yes?
- Jed Montinola.

I believe we have
an appointment?

Seven thousand
five hundred pesos.

Two months advance,
one month deposit.

The rent is quite high.

Others would charge you
10,000 pesos.

Is it quiet here?

I want peace and quiet
when I have to work.

It's quiet here.

I also prefer silence
when I'm working.

Ah, are you married?

- Do I look like I'm married?
- Sorry.

How would I know what a single
or a married guy looks like?

I'm very much single.

I'm not that crazy yet
to get married.

Good for you.

- Veronica?
- Oh!

- Grandma Viring.
- I brought some kaldereta.

I cooked this for you yesterday.
I know it's your favorite.

Thank you.

By the way,
this is Mr. Montinola,

he's checking out the apartment.

And she is...

And she is Mrs. Palacios,

she'll be your new neighbor
if ever.

Really?

- This is fine.
- What?

I said this is fine.

I can issue you a check
for the advance and the down.

Isn't it delicious? Taste this.

I'm trying it out on the market.

It's pastry
with sweet coconut filling.

This is different,
that one has yam filling.

This is coconut.

Yam is my best-seller.

Mother, that's enough.

Patrick is having a hard time.
You're forcing him.

But he thinks it's delicious.

How can we have dinner

if you're feeding him
all your pastries?

Ooh... Daddy's coming.
Daddy sit down.

Patrick, drink some.

That's not so filling.
Here's some beer.

Daddy, Patrick doesn't
drink beer.

Is it good?

Where is Willie?

Daddy...

Daddy, look at our baby.

You're going out on a date
in that? Come on.

Didn't you wear that
to your first communion?

Hi, Auntie! Hi, Uncle!
Are you ready, Marian?

- Let's go.
- Bye.

- Let's go. Come here.
- Marian, wait.

Marian, wait. Hey!

Oh my gosh!

♪ The future is for the young ♪

♪ It's for the whole world
Don't just let it go ♪

Yes! For the youth!

- I'm sleepy.
- It's too early.

- Didn't you take your vitamins?
- I didn't get enough sleep.

I did Lester's term paper
in Literature.

Is your boyfriend illiterate
or something?

Maybe he graduated

without learning
how to read and write.

- Oh, my God. Babsy, look.
- What?

Take a look,
not too obvious though.

Yeah.

Really? I like that.

Is that Eugene's girlfriend?

Admit it, it's unfair.

With that face,
why did he go for a...

♪ Aren't you going to notice ♪

♪ Will I just love
From a distance ♪

♪ We hardly see each other ♪

- You know what?
- What?

You should see Alex's car.

No. Mine is a Porsche.
My dad owns the Testarossa.

Really? You drive a Porsche?

Marian, did you hear that?
He drives a Porsche.

Yes, I heard it, loud and clear!

Your outfit is cool.
It's unique.

Marian is just a little
anti-fashion.

What does anti-fashion mean?

She's not into clothes.
She likes computers!

Wow, computers, intelligent.
Doesn't that make you blind?

- Where are you going?
- I'm suffocating in here.

- Yes, it's so hot in here!
- I know.

No, there's too much air.

- Hi!
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Okay, and you?

Cool, cool. I'm fine. I'm okay.

And how is...

Well, we've broken up.

You broke up?
Well, that's bad.

No, that's good.

- Uh...
- Yeah, that's good.

Too many girls in there,
it's like a sauna bath.

- Pink, this is...
- Lizbeth.

- Hi, Lizbeth.
- This is Pink.

Hi.

Too many people here.

- Ah, Eugene. Nice seeing you.
- Sure.

Nice meeting you, I'll go ahead.

Oh, shit!

- Are you okay, man?
- I'm okay. Tissue!

No, I'm fine. Tissue!

What took you so long?

I bumped into someone.
The drink spilled on him.

I was embarrassed,
I looked stupid.

You look that way anyway.

You think you're handsome?
You look like a pig!

Do you want me to spell
that to you?

Waiter! Waiter!

One more round, please!
More drinks?

Marian, what would you like
to drink?

Poison, if there's any.
Aren't we going home?

Good morning!

Monching, what are you doing?

What do you think?
I'm watering the plants.

They're going to die if I don't.

- Get inside.
- What do you think I was doing?

I said get inside!

This old woman
sure has crazy ideas! Hm!

Why was it rejected?

I didn't understand Collantes.
He approved the first concept.

It even went to sales,
everything went well.

What did Raffy say?

He's still
in a conference with Collantes.

I think he wants
to commit suicide.

Babsy, please follow-up

with the advertising agency
we called.

Please overhaul
our marketing plans, okay?

I'll just finish this.

If Collantes wasn't a woman,
I'd beat her up.

Who told you she's a woman?
With that thick moustache?

What was wrong?

Even she doesn't know
what was wrong.

The problem is she doesn't
even know the questions.

She expects me
to provide her the answers.

So what was lacking
in the campaign?

- She said it has no heart.
- Whatever that means.

Look, we're promoting
a body shampoo

and not baby shampoo.

I mean, not even baby powder.

So why do we need heart
for a body shampoo?

Maybe the problem is too
much emphasis was given on sex.

I mean, it's like
the campaign strategy

says that you are
using body shampoo

for sexual attraction.

Uh...

It loses its practicality
for regular female buyers,

like mothers.

I'll just get the puncher.

Babsy?

Sir, about what
happened earlier,

- I'm really really sorry.
- Wait.

No, sir, I was too presumptuous
to think that...

I'm really really sorry.
I was just practicing.

I have no right to...

Can you please make me finish
before you make a speech?

I think you're right.

Maybe that's the point
of Mrs. Collantes,

that's why she didn't like
the campaign.

There's too much emphasis
on sex.

Which means women
like Mrs. Collantes,

the product
will not identify to,

because she is 47 years old
and a Born Again Christian.

I mean...

Thank you, thank you
for your suggestion.

Are you alright?

We have to talk some other time.

Of course, sir.

Babes!

- I have to go.
- We'll talk.

They were trying
to be nice to you

but you had to call
his cousin a pig.

Willie, they are not nice.

You can call them anything,
but not nice.

Know what, Marian,

the problem is that you're
so anti-social.

People will say that before
you turn 20,

you're going to be menopausal

because you have
an attitude problem.

Attitude problem?

Who has an attitude problem
between us?

Who had a drinking spree

and got so drunk in front
of your Atenean friends?

I didn't get drunk.
I was just a little tipsy.

Know what,
it is useless talking to you,

so I will not call you later.

Dude...

- My God.
- I'm sorry.

- Watch where you're going.
- No, it's fine.

Oh, no, it's you again.

Because you're always
getting in my way.

- You know her?
- Yes. We met.

- I'm sorry.
- Bye!

Miss? Miss?

You're with
Love Thoughts, Love Lines,

and I am Roni Night,

keeping you company
for the next three hours.

I have a very difficult
letter here.

Because, well, this letter
is addressed to me.

And the letter sender is someone
who prefers to be called Andy.

His letter reads, "Dear Roni...

I listen
to your voice every night.

I listen to your music.

Although we've never met,
I feel that I know you.

Sometimes, it's enough
that you hear someone's voice

to know that you can connect.

Is it weird?

I know that if we have
the chance to meet,

something special may happen.

You'll never know...

What are you listening to?

I will wait for the day,
but until then,

you can be reassured
that someone out there

is very happy
to hear your voice.

Love, Andy."

Well, Andy,
I know you are listening.

And your message
is loud and clear.

I'm happy when I know
I can give happiness.

And what can I say?

Maybe a better answer
would be this song.

Andy, this is only for you.

♪ There's a special love
inside my heart and mind ♪

Hello?

Good evening. Marian, please?

- Yes, who's this?
- This is Gary.

You know, the guy
you almost killed earlier.

Uh, yes? Why do you have
my phone number and my name?

Well, I accidentally got your
organizer mixed with my things.

Your name, phone number,
and address was there.

I want to return it to you.
You might need this.

- Like when?
- Like tonight.

No, like right now.

I'm calling you from my car.
I'm parked outside your house.

What?

Well, if you can come down
for a minute,

so you can get your organizer.

Are you alright?

Wait a while. Just give me
a few seconds, okay?

I'll just... Well...

- Hi!
- Ta-da!

Here's your organizer.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I mean you had
to bring this all the way here.

- I don't mean to be a bother.
- No, it's okay.

I drove my friend home anyway.
He just lives around here.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Um...

Perhaps you want to come in
for a while?

But you may be tired, whatever.

Well, I'll just ask
for a glass of water

if that's okay.

So, you want to go in?

Um, well, you can bring
the water outside.

- I think you'd better come in.
- Yeah, that's a good idea.

- Come.
- Okay.

That's mineral water,
but the ice is from the faucet.

But they say
that when the water freezes,

- the bacteria dies anyway.
- Yeah.

Your family?

Yeah, that's my Mom, Dad,
brother, and sister. The usual.

- Whose medals are those?
- Mine.

Why are you embarrassed?

What? I just find it so tacky.

Actually, it was my mother

who insisted
to have those framed.

Every time there are visitors,

she would give them
a brief history of those medals.

As if they were interested.

You know what, medals
are also framed at my house.

But those are my brother's,
and not mine.

Well, my brother
doesn't have medals.

He almost got kicked out
of school.

You're talking to someone?
Who is he?

- Mom, this is Gary.
- Good evening.

Oh, my! I didn't know
we had a visitor.

- I'm sorry about my appearance.
- It's okay.

Daddy! Daddy, hurry!
We have a visitor.

- A guy!
- What?

Who is it?

Daddy, meet our baby's friend...

- What's your name again?
- It's Gary.

I didn't realize a visitor came.

I just returned
Marian's organizer.

I got it by mistake.

- Where did you meet?
- Dad, in school.

In school.
I'm sorry about all this.

All our maids sleep early
because they have to be up

to fill all the water tanks
in the morning.

Water supply comes
at 5:00 in the morning.

It's alright.

Mom, Dad, we're okay.

Marian, you didn't even serve
food to your visitor.

We're okay, Mom.

Have you tried a special pastry?

A special pastry?

Yes, there's yam and coconut.
I made it.

You know what, I thought
they were going to kick me out.

You know, gosh,

I really don't know
what got into me.

But I've been wanting to express
my opinion for a long time now.

I felt it was pointless
since I was so insignificant.

But you know, when
Mr. Balmaceda talked to me,

I felt like I had something
to contribute.

Why did I even study
if I couldn't use it at all?

Hey! I've been blabbering here,

but it seems your mind
is in another planet.

Sorry, Babsy.
I discovered something earlier.

What gossip have you heard
this time?

Babsy, Eugene broke up
with his girlfriend

who looked like a maid.

So what?

Did I tell you that
a fortune-teller said

that I am going to meet
my soulmate this year?

But that jerk is not even
giving you the time of day.

What makes you think
that he's your soulmate?

Um... He doesn't know it yet,
he hasn't gotten the chance.

In!

Let's have one more game!

What do you mean one more game?
I'm so sleepy, Lester.

Babe, one more, please.

Hey!

It was nice meeting you.
I hope to see you soon.

- Bye.
- Good night.

- Drive safely.
- Yes, sir.

- Sorry, I'm really really sorry.
- About what? Come on!

They're sweet. Imagine?

Your mother even gave me
some pastries to take home.

No, she's just giving those away

because no one buys
her pastries.

Oh...

So, can I see you tomorrow?

Okay.

- What time is your last class?
- 3:30.

Good. Mine ends at 2:00.

- Meet you in the parking lot?
- Okay.

Good night.

- Bye.
- Bye.

He drives fast.

What's his last name?
Is that his car?

Which village does he live in?

Marian, I'm talking to you.
Don't turn your back on me.

Marian!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey!

What?

About the noise, we agreed
there wouldn't be noise.

Noise?

That's not noise, it's music.
I'm composing music.

Oh...

Music?

Well, maybe when the song
is finished,

you can call it music.

But while you're still working
on it, it's just noise.

And your typewriter?

- What about my typewriter?
- It makes noise too.

Oh.

Well, it's not as noisy
as your synthesizer

when you're playing it.

Jed, what's wrong?

Nothing, my music is noisy.

Please, I don't know
what you can do.

Just turn the volume down.
Our neighbors are old.

They can't stay up late.
Good night.

- What's your landlady's problem?
- She's an aging virgin.

Your mood swings
are getting worse.

You're ruining my night.

What night?
It's one in the morning.

Why are you so irritable?

I've wanted to go home
for hours.

But you had to play
billiards first.

I've been so sleepy. Come on.

But you and Lizbeth
were talking, weren't you?

You know what, good night.

This conversation
isn't going anywhere.

It's ma'am.

- Good evening.
- What is that boy doing here?

You really want to know
what they were doing?

No. Marlon just returned
the songbook

he borrowed from me.

It's one in the morning

and he had to return
the songbook now?

Get inside! You...

I'll go ahead.

Babe...

Hey!

Did she say yes?

No, she said she has stuff
to finish.

- I don't like watching movies.
- Veronica, please come with us.

Loy and Boni are coming,

- as well as... What's his name?
- My gosh, Martin.

Ah, the movie stuntman.

No, he's old news.
He's now the reporter's guy.

I have a new one,
he works in a gin factory.

Veronica, where do you go
at night?

I was calling last
night, around 9:30.

- No one was answering.
- I went out.

I got pissed at my tenant.
He's so noisy and he's arrogant.

I'm getting suspicious.

I'm beginning to realize

that you are keeping
a lot of secrets.

Hm. Everyone has secrets.

You should be thankful

because even
if you called him a pig,

he still wants to go out
with you.

So now I owe him?

No matter what you say, Willie,
he looks like a pig.

Come on, Marian.

Ronald is dying to go out
with Willie,

so you have to come.

Why don't you go?

Marian, you're early.
Don't you have a class?

My history professor was absent.

He had an asthma attack.

- So you're free? Let's go?
- Let's go.

Hello? Maybe you'd want
to introduce us. Hi.

That's Willie and Tootsie.

- Hello!
- Hi! Bye!

Nice meeting you. Bye!

Mm-hm...

- Really? You like computers too?
- My sister thinks it's weird.

- Are you using 486 or Pentium?
- Gosh, just the 486.

Wow, do you have sound blasters?

How much memory do you have?
Mine has 32 KB on board.

My gosh.

Mine is complete. One gig.
I have a scanner too.

What's your printer?

Why are we talking about this?

You're the only girl I know
who can talk computers.

You should see
my brother's setup.

It's really something.
My brother is really special.

My father demands
that I become as good,

if not better,
than my brother Ricky.

- What does your mom say?
- Hmm...

My mom has been dead
for ten years.

She used to be on my side.

You're lucky you had your mother

on your side then.

I have no one on my side.

No one's better
than my sister Mylene.

They only notice me

whenever they see
how different I am from her.

- Now you're laughing at me.
- No.

I felt the same way
about my brother Ricky before.

Not anymore?

Nothing's wrong
with being competitive, right?

But what's the point
of having to compare yourself

to others all the time?

When you think about it,

you can do a lot of things
that your sister can't.

You're just saying that

because you haven't met
my sister.

Does she know anything
about computers?

Can she install programs?

Are you kidding?
One time she did some ironing,

she almost got electrocuted.

You see? No problem.

- You want more?
- No, thanks.

Are you sure?

Okay. I'll have all of this.

You want?

Dear Roni,
even though we haven't met,

I still feel that
I already know you.

Nowadays, you can meet
a lot of people

but you can only really
know a few.

In a world full of names
and faces,

there are only
very few people...

and even if I haven't seen you,

I believe that with your words,

I know you more than
all the other women

who come and go in my life.

Roni, are we going to take
a chance

in seeing another side
of ourselves

or are we going to let destiny
take its own course?

Love, Andy.

Well, Andy,

I am very happy to receive
another one of your letters.

I must admit that after reading
so many love messages,

I anticipate the times

when you send your letters
for me.

But whatever will be, will be.

I've always believed that
if things were meant to be,

events will take
their own course.

Do I also want to meet you?

Maybe.

How do I feel
about your letters?

Well, I will express my feelings
the way I noticed.

Andy again...

This is for you,
and only for you.

Hello. Willie, please.

Hello, Marian?

- Gary?
- Hi.

I'm sorry,
I thought it was Willie.

Did you enjoy yourself?

Yeah, very much.
Very, very much.

Hey!

Come out from there!

Hey come out from there!
Come on!

- Hey!
- What?

Why did you...

Why is there no water left
in the tank?

I'm going to work.
I have to take a bath.

When I opened the faucet,
there's no water supply.

How can I take a bath?

You woke me up
because you couldn't bathe?

What do you want me to do?
Fetch you some water?

Don't get sarcastic on me.

We're the only ones who use
the water in the tank.

It contains 500 gallons.
Why is there none left?

Because normal people do bathe.

Are you a duck or a fish?

You consumed 500 gallons?
And look at this!

- Come and take a look.
- What's your problem?

Your car is blocking mine.
How will I get out?

What do you want me to do?
Put your car on my truck?

When I arrived last night,
that was already parked there

because you got home
ahead of me.

Where should I park my truck?

Do something!
How will I get out?

Wait, I thought
you had sensitive ears.

Why are you shouting then?
Come on!

- Oh my, kids these days.
- Veronica, is there a problem?

A problem? This is my problem.

I don't know what I did wrong
to have to deal with him!

He'll be out
by the end of the month!

What do you mean “out”?
Hey, I paid you!

Two months advance,
one month deposit.

You can't kick me out even

if you bring me
to any court of law.

Hey! I own the place
where you live in!

Why can't I kick you out?

Veronica, your blood pressure.

Guys, I just want to make sure

that our material won't look
like any other TV commercial

for beauty soap or shampoo.
Okay?

There's a tendency for all TVCs
to look one and the same.

I think that's not going
to be a problem.

Aren't we trying too hard?

What do you think, Babsy?

What?

I beg your pardon?

The target market
is people your age.

How do you think women your age
will respond to this commercial?

Um, I think music will play
a big factor.

And then the look...

That's right,
a little more like MTV.

It depends on the MTV.

Jonathan, who's the director
in the lineup?

It depends
on the production house.

The bidding
is taking quite long.

What?
For how many weeks?

Babsy, telephone, it's Lester.

Tell him I'm busy.

- What's the real score, Meldy?
- I don't know.

You don't know?

Every time you're with him,
you get greasy all over.

Don't tell me you don't know.

It should come from Boni.

I can't speak up first.
I'm the girl.

Meldy, get a grip.

You have no right to play hard
to get.

The other night,

I was listening
to Radio Romance.

A girl from Sorsogon
sent a letter.

She's so in love
but she doesn't know

if the guy is serious about her.
I cried.

So you felt you were
in the same boat.

And why not?
I can't make the first move.

It's Boni who should propose.

I don't want him to think
that I'm easy.

You're not easy, Meldy.
You're a bargain.

- What about you, Veronica?
- What about me?

At your age, you must have
fallen in love somehow.

That's why I'm behaving,
I want a peaceful life.

That meant something.

It feels good to be in love.

But whenever you think about

or actually experience problems,

you tell yourself, “enough”.

You know how painful it gets
and then you get traumatized.

That's way too much.
It's sad being alone.

Alone is not necessarily lonely.

Life is easier

when you only have yourself
to worry about.

- Hello, ma'am.
- Good afternoon.

- What's wrong?
- Hi.

You said you're rich,

but you didn't tell me
you're this rich.

Oh, let's go upstairs.
You get impressed too easily.

Marian, let's go.

I'll take your bag.

Those are just fish.

- Your brother?
- Yeah.

- The one in the U.S.?
- Yup, I only have one brother.

Wow, it's like the control panel
of a spaceship.

I'll show you my new software.
This was sent by my brother.

I just installed it
on the Power Macintosh.

You said yours
is one gig, right?

Yes.

Daddy.

What are you doing here?
Don't you have classes today?

Um, my class ends at 3:00.

Dad, this is Marian,
my schoolmate.

- Hello, sir. Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

Gary...

If you have guests,

there are other places
in our house to entertain them

aside from your room.

Dad, I was just showing her
my computer.

I don't want you
bringing girls to your room.

Is that the right thing to do?
Do you understand?

Yes, Dad.

I almost had a heart attack.

I thought something bad
happened to you.

I called all your friends.

No one could tell me
where you were.

Wait, let me.

Daddy, wait, I'm not finished.
I almost called the police.

It's because she's always
with this Balmaceda.

Wait, can I say something?

I'm involved here.

Do you know that I spoiled
two dozens of pastries

because I couldn't concentrate
on my baking?

Marian, we're not scolding you
or anything,

but what's happening?

You didn't even call.

You didn't tell us
where you were going.

You just disappeared
from school and then...

Why are you so upset?
It's the first time I did this.

And we're not planning
to allow you

to make a habit of gallivanting
without asking permission!

Why are you scolding me?

You let my brother and sister
get away with it.

Hey, I'm a boy.

Our situation is different!

Your sister was 18 years old
when we allowed her

to have a boyfriend.

Maybe that guy's
your boyfriend now.

It's none of your business!

Daddy, did you hear that, Daddy?

Our baby is shouting at us now.

How will I go home?

I'm done at around nine.
The terminal is quite far.

I'm sure somebody
there has a car.

Just hitch a ride.

You said you'd pick me up.

I know, but I'm busy.

Busy?

You're just entertaining
your monkey friends!

Why are you dragging
my friends into this?

You're letting me
commute by myself

while you're having fun
with your friends?

You're acting insecure again!

I told you that's bad.
I'll get mad at you.

Hey, I'm also mad at you.

And because I am so mad at you,

remember the term paper
you have to

submit on Tuesday
to pass your philosophy class?

Well, excuse me, Lester,
but you better do it yourself.

I won't write a word for you.

Give my regards to the monkeys.

Don't take it out on the phone.
It's helpless.

- What's your problem?
- It's nothing.

You almost crushed the phone.

My boyfriend backed out.
He was supposed to pick me up.

That's it?

I'm sorry if I bothered you.
Um. I'll be all right.

I'll just take you home
after we wrap up.

- Besides, we're almost done.
- Oh. No, no, no, it's okay.

I insist, and on the way
let's grab a bite or something.

I'm so sick of pepperoni pizza.
I need a decent meal.

So what are
your plans after March?

- What do you mean?
- Do you plan to work?

Or finish your graduate studies?

- Or go abroad?
- Of course, I want to work.

But I also want to go
to Australia

because my whole family
is there.

I'm the only one here
because I'm still studying.

But I'm graduating.

So you have plans of settling
in Australia?

No... I can't do that.

Your boyfriend,

you've already made plans
with him.

Well, he has plans.

He wants us to get married
right after graduating.

But that's tentative.

Just like me
and my girlfriend back then.

- You have a girlfriend?
- Four years ago.

Like him, I wanted
to get married after graduation.

She wanted to go
to the U.S. for a vacation.

She met somebody over there,
now she's married.

But, I'm not.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

There's nothing
to be sorry about.

It happens all the time.

Nothing's set in stone
in relationships.

People change
and people grow up.

Hey, you should eat.

Your boyfriend
might be looking for you.

This is Roni Night,
on Love Thoughts, Love Lines,

in the Philippines
most romantic station,

Radio Romance.

Now, let me read a letter
coming from Marian of Parañaque

to Gary of Quezon City.

"My dearest Gary,

I wish I could understand
all these new feelings

I am now experiencing
ever since I met you.

I have always imagined
how this would feel.

I've read about this,

I've heard this in love songs,

but all of what I know
doesn't seem to be enough

if I want to capture
this feeling in words.

You are the first person

to make me feel so important.

In the simple things that we do,

you give so much meaning
to my days.

When we're together,

I feel that we are the only
two people in this planet.

You may not be aware of this.

But in the short amount of time
that I have known you,

you have become
so important to me.

I am happy, Gary,
but I am also scared.

I am scared
of these new feelings

that give me so much joy
and threaten me

with so much pain.

Please be there for me.

Please help me understand,
why we are feeling this way

for each other.

Love, Marian."

- Hello?
- Hi, Marian.

Marian?

- Hi, Gary.
- How are you?

Go to hell, you bastard!
Who do you think you are?

The hell with you!

You're nothing
but a selfish son of a bitch!

You think of nothing
but yourself.

Hey, go see a doctor.

Have your brain checked!

- You go to hell!
- No, you go to hell!

No, you go to hell first!

I'll see you there!

Good evening.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

You've changed,
you're counting everything.

I told you, I need this
for my sister's tuition fee.

You have excuses now,
unlike before...

Marlon, please.

Fine. I'm leaving.

Marlon, you're upset.

You've changed.

Didn't we make a promise
that we'd help each other?

Okay, fine.

How much money do you need?

Anyway, my sister
can stop studying

and enroll next school year.

Zeny,
how did this guy get in here?

I'm about to leave.

He just asked for some water.

What did I do now?

Nothing.

Come here.

What?

I'm inviting you to enter
my kingdom.

Are you drunk?

I just want someone to talk to,

my mouth is drying up.

Don't worry. I won't harm you.

- You want siopao?
- What flavor?

Meatball.

Give it to me.

I'm glad
there are no snakes here.

That's okay.
I've always wanted a pet snake.

You got home early.

Yeah.

Oh. Do you want...

Whoops.

You want sauce?

Why are you alone up there?
Where are your parents?

Oh, that.
Well, my father passed away.

My mother is in Toronto.

You don't even have a maid?

I don't need one.
They just give me problems.

I'm always out of the house.
They might be up to no good.

What's so funny?

You think they're up to no good.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I just offered you siopao.
Don't get personal.

Then don't answer my question.
You're not a good sport.

I came here to talk to you,
to settle things,

and not to make a confession.

You're so shallow.

You laugh even
if I'm not cracking a joke.

I don't know about you women.

You are hard to understand.

My friend...

I assume you still
remember my friend.

The fair one who's always here.

Well, she walked out
a while ago.

She was even yelling out there.

So you disturbed
our old neighbors again.

They had a good time
watching us.

Why are you women like that?

Don't worry.
We don't understand you men too.

You called him up?

How did you get Eugene's number?

You know me.

If I were in the National Bureau
of Investigations,

more crimes would be solved.

What did you tell him?

Nothing.

You called
and didn't say anything?

I just listened to his voice
and then I hung up.

What's wrong with you, Lizbeth?

Come on.

You're like a pre-teen who just
recently had her period.

My goodness.

Babsy, it's Lester.

What's up?

How's your old professor?

Your teacher in...
What subject was it?

- I saw you yesterday.
- Where?

Let's go. I might end up
slapping him.

Wait a minute.
I just want to make peace.

Val, come with me.

Babe, are you still mad at me?

What do you think?

- Go away.
- Babe, give me a chance.

Please, Lester, don't mock me
in front of your stupid friends.

But I'm apologizing.

Whatever.
Come on, Lizbeth.

- Don't play hard to get.
- Can you just shut up?

- Will you please leave us alone!
- Fine! There!

Are you okay?

- Are you sure?
- Are you okay?

Damn you! Don't touch me!

I'm okay.

Gotcha!

- Wait, they might see us.
- Come on.

- But no one's looking.
- Wait a minute.

Look. I have a feeling

that those two are going steady.

- Let's take it slow, okay?
- What is it to you?

Can you just imagine
how their kids would look like?

Whatever makes them happy
is none of our business.

Let's go. Stop meddling.

You are the one
who wrote the letter

that was read on the radio?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
I'm so embarrassed.

- I didn't know that you...
- No, it's okay.

It's okay. Really, it's okay.

You have some nerve, Marian.

There was a time when I asked
for your help with Ronald.

Did you help me?
You made me look stupid.

I had to beg just to make
you go with me.

Well, now.

What are you
complaining about, Willie?

Didn't you tell me that you
and Ronald are doing well?

I hate him. I hate Ronald!

You hate him? How can you hate
him when you're so crazy

about that arrogant prick?

He thinks I don't know
what's going on.

Every time I call him up,

it's either he's asleep,
or taking a bath.

And then a few minutes later,
he has left the house.

I've paged him seven times,
but he doesn't respond.

I have feelings too
and I get the message.

- It's about time.
- So no, thank you, Marian.

By the way, before I forget,
you should thank me

because I never encouraged you
to go for Ronald.

There are many boys out there.

And besides, a lot of boys use
CK1 perfume and Cole Hann shoes.

Here's my payment for the rent.

Maybe I can come in
since I just paid.

Be careful, you might choke.

Thanks for the check.

You got lots of tapes and CDs
here, but I've never heard music

coming from this place.

Well, I don't turn up
the volume.

I don't want to enjoy music
at other people's expense.

You're trying
to imply something.

What are you typing
most of the time?

Wait, don't touch that.

- What is it? A story?
- No!

Stop it!

I really want
to entertain you, Jed,

but I have to go somewhere.

One more question, Veronica.

You're a librarian, right?

Why do you go out
almost every night?

- And then...
- Know what, Jed,

I really appreciate
your concern,

but it's really none
of your business.

Good night.

Okay. Bye.

A letter from
a certain lady from Quezon City

who calls herself,
Miss Confused.

To a special someone
name Lester.

"Dear Lester,

I do not have the courage
to say this to you in person,

maybe it's because I know
that you will never take

anything I say seriously.

We've been together a long time,

and in so many ways,
you know how much I love you.

But you no longer see
what is happening to me.

Lester, what am I going to do
if I fall out of love with you?

What if there's somebody
else who can open

an entirely different world
for me?

Someone who would treat me
the way you used to,

until you became so sure of me.

Lester, I have a problem
and you don't even see it.

Help me, please help me.

Love, Miss Confused."

♪ Good bye ♪

♪ My love ♪

♪ I can't believe
I'll say this ♪

♪ Good bye ♪

- Hello?
- Hi, babe.

Lester?

So you're not mad anymore?

Yeah.

Babe, my philosophy paper.

It's due on Tuesday.

Babe, are you there?

Dad?

Of course you know
what time it is.

It is a school day
and you come home this late.

How can you still study?

But I'm not sleepy yet.

You're neglecting your studies

because girls are your priority.

What can you say
about these grades?

But these are fine, Dad.

Some went down,

But I retained
my grade point average.

That's not good enough, Gary.

That's not good enough
to get you into any respectable

graduate school
if your grades are that low.

You understand?

Your brother,
graduated from the same school,

with the same course,
but with a magna cum laude.

These are not the grades
of an intelligent person.

Good morning.
Who am I riding with to school?

Where were you last night?

I was with Willie.

See, Daddy.
And she has the nerve to lie.

But I was really with Willie.

Please don't embarrass yourself.

Patrick and I
had dinner last night.

We saw Willie with her parents
and relatives in the restaurant.

I asked her where you were.
She went pale.

I told you.
I'll beat that Balmaceda up.

Shut up, all of you.

You came home so late.

I thought all along
you were with Willie.

Do you know
that she called just to...

Mother, that Willie is nothing
but a loose woman.

Stop it!

Stop seeing that boy.

You're both too young.
You might get pregnant.

We're not doing anything wrong.

You came home so late.

It doesn't mean
we're doing anything wrong, Mom.

Don't make a fool of us, Marian.

If you and your boyfriend

are doing things
when you go out,

it doesn't mean that
I'm doing the same thing.

Why do you talk that way?
What are you trying to imply?

I said stop it!

We're not doing anything bad!

You're the problem here
because you're being malicious!

Damn you.

Daddy. Daddy, I...
I can't breathe.

- Daddy...
- Shut up, all of you!

If you're going to behave
that way,

from now on, you're not allowed
to use the telephone.

From the house,
you can only go to school.

After class, you come home.

If I have to fetch you
or drag you home, so be it.

The minute you violate
any of these rules, Marian,

I will shave all your hair off.

He's in a foul mood.
Collantes scolded him earlier.

Be careful.

Yeah?

Hi! I'll just have this
logbook signed

for my practicum form.

How many hours do you have left?

I think around twelve.

So you won't be here for long.

When you graduate,
and step into the real world,

that's the time you realize
how important school is to you.

That's the funny part.

When you're a student,
you are so eager to get out.

The moment you start working,

you wish
that you never even left.

That's how it really is.

Even if you try your very best,

you really can't please
everybody.

Especially here, people
will always have comments.

Not because everyone does it,
it's the right thing.

That's true.

But as long as you do your best,
who gives a damn

what other people say
or think, right?

I mean, it sucks to always
have to seek other's approval

all your life.

What are you doing after work?

Well, I have no plans.

Well, now you do.

Really?

Wait, excuse me.
Do I have a girlfriend?

- That's not our thing!
- Exactly!

- Of course, none!
- See? They're very honest.

- I don't have a girlfriend!
- He's right!

- Please...
- Really?

Uh. Hello. Good morning,
may I please speak with Marian?

Oh, Gary, I'm sorry.
You cannot talk to Marian.

Cut it out!

You're both too young

to be involved
in such foolishness.

Please prioritize
your studies first.

Marian's father is so furious

because you sneaked out
and came home really late.

Oh my goodness,
you're still children, okay?

Suit yourself. Bye.

Oh, there you are.

I think your Dad made it clear
that your boyfriend is banned.

Okay?

This is none of your business!
Don't crush the pastry!

But it's Meldy's birthday.

Come with us.

We seldom invite you
so don't say no.

But I'm finishing
something at home.

You always say that.
What are you finishing anyway?

Please, Veronica.
I am going to be so upset.

♪ I wouldn't keep hoping ♪

♪ If only I could resist ♪

♪ I wouldn't come near ♪

- Veronica, eat.
- Meldy, you have a smudge.

- Have some of that.
- Okay.

You're so happy.

- Don't you want it?
- Don't you want some?

No.

Here are some noodles.

Yes!

- It's over.
- It's finally over.

- Thank you very much...
- That was cheap. It was.

- Come on. Eat.
- Sure, in a bit.

Starring Aga Muhlach
and Lea Salonga.

Wait. What is it that you do?

He works in a liquor factory.

What do you do
in a liquor factory?

I operate a machine.
It places corks on bottles.

- Really? You place corks?
- Yes...

He makes profit out
of filling in holes.

You're so malicious.

- This is my wedding ring.
- They look so cute, right?

Excuse me.

Uh. Maybe we can request
our regular customer,

- Loy, to sing!
- I would love that!

I don't want to!

- Don't be shy.
- For her birthday.

Go on. Sing.

- Come on.
- It's embarrassing.

Come on.
Don't be shy. Just sing.

- Well, okay.
- Finally!

He even has a lyric sheet.

But it's my birthday.

I feel tense.

Okay. For my first number
which I am dedicating

to my friends, namely Meldy,

- Happy birthday!
- The celebrator.

It's her birthday!

Happy birthday, Meldy!

- Yes! And to her friend, Boni.
- That's you.

To my friend also, Veronica.

And most especially,

- Who's that?
- My special friend

ladies and gentlemen, Martin.

Hi, dear!

This is one
of my all-time favorite songs.

Music, please.
By the way, I'm not that good.

♪ Why is it that
when the heart loves ♪

♪ Things become puzzling? ♪

♪ Every second brings a smile ♪

♪ Because heaven
Is how we feel ♪

♪ It seems everything
Is endless ♪

I'm leaving.

But Loy's number isn't over.

Don't worry, it'll be over soon.

♪ If it's from the heart ♪

♪ It's truly like that ♪

Thank you
for spending the night with me.

This is Roni Night,
in Manila's romantic capital,

Radio Romance.

It's been a long time
since I got a letter from you.

I miss you Andy.

After what happened, I realized
that it takes maturity

for a relationship to work.

Maybe I was wrong by believing

that I'm the only one
with needs.

Respect is important.

If two people can live
without each other,

but they choose to be together,

that's when
a relationship works.

That is deep.

Do you know the difference
between immature love

and mature love?

What?

Immature love says, "I love you
because I need you".

Mature love says, "I need you
because I love you".

Erich Fromm.

- Let's dance?
- What?

Here, now.

Come on. Everyone is allowed
to do stupid and silly stuff

once in a while.

I'm not sure, Raffy.

Come on. No one will see you.

♪ I didn't know what to do ♪

♪ Days would pass me by ♪

♪ Each as lonely as the other ♪

♪ Until I met you ♪

♪ You opened the door ♪

♪ And let the sunshine in ♪

♪ My life will never be ♪

♪ The same again ♪

♪ Now that I have you ♪

♪ Everything
Just seems so right ♪

♪ Now that I have you
I'm alive ♪

♪ You are the song ♪

♪ That I'll be singing
My whole life through ♪

♪ I'm living in
A brighter world ♪

♪ Now that I have you ♪

Hey.

It's cool out here.

What are you typing up there?

- You're meddlesome.
- I'm just curious.

I'm writing short stories.

Look at that.

How many stories
have you had published?

Why would I publish those?

Why would you write then

if you don't let people
read your stuff?

It's therapeutic for me.

It's how I express myself.

All your frustrations
and things you cannot vent out.

That's how I am with my music.

I'm really a composer,

not just a creator
of commercial jingles.

It's just a racket.

It's hard being alone.

It's good but hard
at the same time.

You don't have a family?

Now you're being personal.

You don't have to answer
if you don't want to.

I have a family.

My parents live
in Sta. Rosa, La gun a.

That's far.

Besides, they don't understand
what I do.

That's why I prefer
to live on my own.

Now it's my turn to ask.

Are you really like that?

You seem disgusted.

I didn't say I'm disgusted.

I mean, are you really...

I can't believe it.

Girls like your type...

I'm sure...

You're sure that?

I'm sure
you're a little crazy too.

Of course.

Um. I have another side.

There's another person inside me
that I don't reveal to people.

Those who think
they know me get surprised.

That's how people are.

It just depends on
how you carry yourself,

and how much of yourself
you show to people.

Why do you have to hide?

I learned my lesson.

Once, I revealed myself
completely to one person,

but he left me.

He hurt me.

Ever since, I told myself...

And then?

I'm sleepy.

Then?

Maybe you're just swept
off your feet, Babsy.

Guys that are very conscious
of their appearance

can never be trusted.

He could be a player.

You're still naive.

Me, naive?

Lizbeth...

I realized I've lost
interest in Lester because...

Because you realized he's a jerk
and not as sophisticated

as your boss.

Will you see each other
after your practicum?

What do you think?
That is up to you.

Eugene is my conquest right now.

Conquest?

I read my horoscope.

Scorpio, for 1996, go for it
and work for what you want!

So what did you do?

I wrote a letter
and then I sent it to someone

in Eugene's physics class.

Lizbeth, you have some nerve.

He's moving too slow.

That's why I gave him
motivation.

That would encourage him
somehow.

Oh, my God.
Speaking of the devil.

Did he see me?

Come on, Lizbeth.
You've written him a letter.

Don't tell me
you're getting shy now.

Oh my, he's headed this way.

- He's here.
- Oh my, how do I look like?

- Um. Lizbeth.
- Yes.

- Can I ask you a favor?
- Yes!

Next time, wait for the guy
to make the first move.

It's better that way.

I have to go.

Lizbeth?

Babsy, would it be in bad taste
if I commit suicide here?

Veronica, why do you seem pale?

Are you ill?

You should get more air,
and your life needs excitement.

You should come with us.

Loy invited me to go
to that sing-along bar again.

Not tonight. Maybe next time.

You're turning us down again.

How did it end up this way?
What did we do so wrong?

They won't listen
even if we explain.

What are we gonna do?

Does this mean
that we have to stop?

That will only happen
if that's what you want.

Is that what you want?

No.

Are you willing to fight
for what we want?

Yes.

Even if your parents get mad?

Is that how important
I am to you?

Yes.

That's what I needed to hear.

"I think the time is right
and there is nothing left to do.

On Tuesday night, February 13,
I will go there to the station

at exactly 10 p.m.

You will finally meet Andy.

And I will finally get to know
Roni Night.

Until then, I will miss you.

Love, Andy."

Thank you, thank you, Andy.
Thank you for writing.

I leave it up to you.

Like I've said before,

there are things
that are beautiful

because we think
they're so unreachable.

But the moment that
what seems so unattainable

comes close,
the magic disappears.

I guess we'll have
to take that risk.

I'll be here Andy.

I'll wait for you.

You have a visitor.

Hi! I was in the area
and I thought I'd drop by.

I'm not bothering you, am I?

No, not at all.

Are you sure you want
to go through with this?

- Yes.
- Okay, let's go.

- Is this the right way?
- Of course.

Where are we going?

I'm still thinking.

You, where do you think
we should go?

It's up to you.
Wherever you decide.

Let's see.

Wait, I got sauce on my hand.

You can wash in the kitchen
or in the bathroom.

- Where's the bathroom?
- Go straight, turn right.

Okay.
If you'll excuse me for a while.

Sure.

- Lester?
- Whose car is parked outside?

Why do you just show up
without a word?

Don't you know
that I'm still mad at you?

Whose car is parked outside?

Babsy,
can I borrow a hand towel.

So that's why.

Lester!

- Lester!
- What happened?

Let me explain first.

Why you were so busy?

- Let's go. I might kill someone.
- Hey.

Lester!

Do you want me to stay
or do you want me to leave?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Gary, where are we going?

Look, you asked me
to join you, okay?

We ran away and now you don't
even know where we are going?

Will you just let me think
for a minute, okay?

We're running out of gas.
You've been driving for hours!

Will you please shut up
and let me think for a minute!

Why did you ask me to run away?

Look, this is the first time
I'm going to do this, okay?

How do you expect me to...

You're the guy, you're supposed
to know what to do!

Well, I don't know what to do!

What's wrong with you?

I feel so stupid.
This is all so stupid!

You know, you're right.

This is not only stupid.
This is wrong.

- Where are we going?
- I'm taking you home.

- What?
- I'm taking you home!

Get in the car!

Nice shot!

Nice!

Babsy, let's get out of here.

Let's wait
until after the practice.

Just relax.

There's your cheating
girlfriend.

She's hunting you down.

Look at her.
I think she's mad again.

Lester.

Lester, let's talk.

Lester, I'm talking to you.

I don't want to hear
what you have to say.

Don't disrespect me.

Who disrespected who first?

- Don't shout at me.
- Go away!

Don't shout at me!

I said go away!

What happened to your friend?

Huh?

Why is she freaking out?

What?

Why is your friend freaking out?

- There's a girl!
- This is humiliating!

Lester, don't turn your back
on me when I'm talking to you.

- Why did you come in here?
- Because I want to talk to you.

What for?
So you can lie to me again?

Is that it?

I completely trusted you.

But you were cheating on me.

You're dating that other guy.

Don't you realize I'm a man?
You insulted me!

Of all things, you had to make
a fool out of me!

Don't you know
that you've insulted me

as a woman many times?

Really? Come on.

Don't try to act cute.

You're not cute, you're dumb!

I thought you were apologizing.
Now you're calling me dumb.

Because you're really dumb!

You think
that just because I love you

you can get away with anything
without taking my feelings

into consideration.

You're overconfident.

You're confident
that no matter what you do,

I will never leave you.

I've changed, Lester,
and you didn't notice that.

That makes you dumb.

You had me fooled.

But I was so stupid
enough to allow that.

But I have changed.

I've realized what I want
and I want more.

I love you. I still love you.

And if I leave you right now

it is because I want to end
our relationship

with a little love
left in my heart for you.

Don't wait for the day

when I leave you with only anger
left in my heart.

You have to grow up.

I can do all your assignments.

I can do all your term papers.
But I cannot grow up for you.

That's all you can do.

Looks like
you're going somewhere.

- Yeah, I know.
- You're both so dressed up.

Are you two going on
a date together?

Of course not.

Marian, are you still awake?

Don't sulk.
It's not the end of the world.

Can you just leave me alone?

Look, Marian, I understand.

I've been through that.

You might think that
we're ganging up on you.

That's how I felt back then.

But, no.

We all go through that.

Just take it slow.

You don't have to rush things.

You'll get through this.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, I wasn't sure
if my timing was right.

If now is the right time
for you to see me.

Come on, let's talk inside.
