"Insiang!" "Buy sugar when you go to the market." "We're out of sugar." "Come on, Nonoy!" "Time to eat!" "Call your brothers, they're not here yet." "Bebe, you take too long bathing that child." "She'll catch cold." "Weng, faster with the rice." "The kids are hungry!" "Coming." "I'll just wash these." "We'd been waiting forever for that rice!" "Ida... hurry up!" "What are you doing there?" "Time to eat." "We've got to eat together or there won't be enough." "Be there in a while, I'm still breastfeeding." "Hurry UP!" "Nonoy, call Edong." "It's time to eat." "Brother Edong, it's time to eat..." "Bebe, you're taking too long with that child." "Time to eat." "Did you wash your hands?" "There's water in there." "Insiang, come and join us." "No thanks..." "Where's Uncle Indo?" "He probably left with your mum." "No, my mother left ahead." "I hope your Uncle Indo finds a job." "All her snide remarks." "You should be used to my mum by now." "She's just like that." "Don't mind her." "Insiang, we've no more rice." "I'm delivering laundry to collect payment." "I'll take care of it when I come back." "Hey, Edong, go and eat now." "They'd been calling for you." "Can you recommend me as a guard or chauffeur to your employer?" "I already asked Mrs. Flores." "There's really no vacancy." "I feel embarrassed by your mum's hurtful remarks." "Don't mind my mum's sharp tongue." "I've to bear it myself." "Sometimes, I even think of doing something bad." "That's wrong." "That'll add to your problems." "Just endure it, Edong." "Up till when?" "Will it always be like this... always desperate." "I don't know, Edong." "I don't know." "Let me help you." "Never mind." "You'll have a hard time getting a ride here." "I said, never mind." "Who are you really after?" "The daughter or the mother?" "Or are you getting them wholesale?" "It's good we still have something to eat." "But up to when will it last?" "You don't just stumble upon jobs here." "But Indo was able to get a job." "It's just that he's one of those retrenched." "I don't see why you've to make an exodus to the city... when there are no available jobs here anyway." "It's much better to stay in the countryside." "But Uncle Indo is looking for a job." "Nobody asked you to butt in!" "Your brother-in-law is doubling his efforts." "His former employer promised to help him." "Promises... promises." "Can you eat promises?" "3 pounds of rice is not enough for a day's consumption." "Look at that, no place of their own, with a baby to boot." "We've to bear its non-stop crying." "Mum, we're in front of a meal." "So what?" "Look at that!" "See how rude your son is." "They really are your father's relatives." "Sensitive yet rude." "If this goes on, it's better to just part ways." "We're being driven out of the house again, bro." "Because my father is jobless." "If I only have a job, I'll support everybody." "It won't make any difference, bro." "Look at me, I've tried all kinds of jobs." "I still got nothing." "You're lucky to have a job." "Look at me... no education..." "No job." "I can't find a job either." "I've nothing to feed my family." "That's why my wife left me." "What a snob!" "You're all good-for-nothing shameless bastards!" "Getting drunk is all you're good at!" "What will Siony be joining now?" "Siony?" "The "Thank You Show."" "They give good prices there." "Didn't you enter her in "The Good Afternoon Show"?" "What happened?" "No luck." "Unlucky... she's a loser!" "Don't let your daughter enter any more contests..." "She has no chance." "I have enough of you, shameless thugs!" "Drunken, good-for-nothing lowlifes!" "You sons of bitches!" "Give me some MSG." "Thanks." "Include it in my credit." "Hey, Reynaldo!" "How much did you filch this time?" "Come on, sis." "Just enough for my fare." "Why do you have to filch when you make so much fixing radios?" " What do you do with the money?" " I try to impress girls." "But you go tongue-tied before them." "Don't you have a crush on Insiang?" "Yes." "Why don't you court her?" "You're too weak-hearted." "I can't." "Bebot's her boyfriend now." "Because you're too slow." "Unlike Bebot who's lightning-fast." "The picture tube conked out again." "Make sure you fix the TV today." " Busted since yesterday." " Later." "I'll be late for class." "Excuses, excuses." "What's with you." "Another can of sardines." "Fuck!" "What's wrong?" "All you do is drink the whole day." "Now you're breaking things." "Good thing that's all he breaks and not your store." "What's the big deal?" "She's coming out, bro." "Try it now." "Bastards!" "Dad... he grabbed me!" " Where?" "Who?" " It's Edong, dad." "The nephew of Mrs. Tonya." " Where did he go?" " There." "Insiang, I don't care if you're my daughter's best friend." "Bring that son of a bitch out!" "What happened?" "He grabbed me, Insiang." "He grabbed me." "What's the problem?" "That bastard grabbed your sister." "I'm sorry, Mr. Karyas." "He's drunk." "I'm sure he didn't mean it." "Tell that bastard... to put his liquor in his tummy, not in his head." "What's wrong, Mr. Karyas?" "Your nephew got drunk, then grabbed my daughter." "You've to teach your nephew, Tonya." "Otherwise, I'll kill him." "Why do you drink when you can't handle it?" "I'm wiping your face with hot water to take off the effect of liquor." "Get a cup of hot coffee." "No milk, no sugar." "You only bring misfortune in this house!" "I've enough already!" "And you all eat too much!" "Mother!" "I don't make enough to feed all of you." "Don't you have any shame?" "You should pour boiling water on that beast so he'll learn his lesson." "Why do you treat us like that, Tonya?" "Are you complaining?" "What kind of treatment do you want?" "You're not of any help in this house." "You're all a burden!" "The neighbours can hear, it's embarrassing." "They should be embarrassed." "I'm telling you, I've had enough of them." "Enough of us?" "But you were patient with us when we could give money." "Of course!" "When Indo was able to pay, you always had a big smile." "What?" "You think I don't know why you're dying to drive us out?" "I really want you out of my house!" "We're leaving, Tonya." "Everybody knows about your itch." "Don't worry, we'll leave." "So you can bring your boy-toy here." "Get out of here!" "Get out of my house!" "Bring out all the stuff." "See if our ride is here." "Hey, that's my pot!" "Shut up, that's mine." "Your pot broke." "I bought this one." "So, we're doing accounting now." "The clothes that your two grandchildren are wearing." "Take them off!" "Is that so?" "Take them off then!" "Here's what you're bitchin' about." "Let's go!" "Hurry!" "Let's get out of here!" "Did you see that?" "Did you see how ungrateful your father's relatives are?" "You fed them..." "now you're the bad one." "Those are your relatives..." "Such bad attitude." "Wherever your father is now..." "I hope he dies along with his mistress!" "That's enough." "Nothing will be left of the ball." "The problem is, he can't get his way with his girl." "Who?" "Insiang?" "You're all crazy!" "Just because she can't stomach your looks." "Oh, it's you, Dado." "You're always playing billiards." "Go to work now." "We're having a bet." "A bet?" "What if I hit your face with this stick?" "What's this?" "You dance at the strip bar now?" "It's my mum's." "It's his now." "Finish that." "What are you waiting for?" "Why are you here?" "I thought it's your day-off?" "Is the Boss there?" "No." "He left." "I want to ask for an advance." "I've a date." "A date?" "You bastard!" "Hey!" "Stop it!" "The bastard." "He thinks he's a better man." "Why don't you pounce on Dado?" "You only pick a fight with the underdogs." "Have you finished your work?" "I thought you fell asleep with the lights on." "How can I sleep in this damn..." "See if there's water in the tap so I can take a bath." "I've got to get rid of the fish smell in my body." "You haven't taken a bath at this hour before." "Damn it!" "Just check if there's water in the tap!" "Mum?" "What's that, Nanding?" "Here." "Put it on my credit." "So early in the morning?" "Estong is getting his paycheck soon." "I apologise for what my relatives did yesterday." "Oh, the commotion yesterday?" "It's okay, Insiang." "Your cousin is actually nice." " I'm so embarrassed about it." " It wasn't your fault." "I just got so embarrassed yesterday." "I didn't even know the cause of the commotion." "The only troublesome ones." "I don't agree with what your mother did driving your relatives out." "She shouldn't have done that." "My heart went out to Uncle Indo's family." "But what can I do." "You know my mum, what she says, she does." "I don't even know why it happened." "Ever since she separated from my father... she's become cruel." "What does your father have to do with it?" "Why are you always chastised by Mrs. Tonya?" "Seeing Insiang reminds her of... how her shameless husband abandoned them." "Oh..." "I'm sorry, Insiang." "But it's true." "She is my mother... but I no longer feel any maternal bond from her." "I think this conversation has gone too far." "There's a good show on TV." "You watch, Insiang." "I'll wait for you." "I don't think I can." "You know my mum." "Come on, try." "Maybe... if she goes gambling today." "Okay, I'll wait for you." "Come on down." "Let's go." "Didn't you say it's late already." "Why should I still rush there?" "You go ahead." "The pig is waiting to be slaughtered." "Is Dado going to live here?" "Yes!" "I don't care what you say." "I don't care." "Dado, come and have breakfast." "It's late." "Insiang... wait." "Don't you have anything to do but play billiards?" "It's just a diversion." "I played billiards the whole night last night." "You were a no-show yesterday." "You made me wait." "How could I leave with my mum there?" "Why are you here now?" "I just delivered Mrs. Torres' laundry." "Admit it, you don't want to go to the movies with me." " You don't love me anymore." " I love you, Bebot." "If you love me, you will relent." "I love you but I don't like what you do to me in the movie theater." "I'm a man, Insiang." "I can't control myself." " Besides, what's wrong with it?" " It's not right." "Why not?" "I love you." "If it's somebody else, then it's wrong." "I don't want to end up like my mother." "Why are you so afraid?" "I'll marry you." " When?" " Not now." " So, when?" " When I'm ready." "What will I feed you?" "Don't think about money." "What I earn doing laundry is enough for both of us." "It's a difficult thing to get into." " What if we have kids?" " So when will it be?" "As soon as Nilo gets me a job with his employer... we'll get married." " So... will you make it tomorrow?" " What time?" "That's what you get for being an idiot!" "Instead of going to the slaughterhouse, you went gambling!" "You drink and gamble." "Now you pick a fight!" "If all you bring me is trouble and misery we better part ways." "That's the problem with you." "You start yakking without hearing my side." "Stop tickling me." "Why are you late?" "We just finished eating." "Mrs. Torres came in late." "I had to wait in order to collect my pay." "Waited for her or showed yourself off somewhere?" "What's wrong with you?" "Let the kid have her meal first." "Give way." "Where's the money?" "Why Only five?" "I bought a new pair of slippers." "Why?" "There's nothing wrong with your old slippers." "It's alright to wear inside the house." "But outside, it's embarrassing." "Embarrassing!" "You're trying to show off... so you'll be noticed by men?" "Mother!" "Next time, before you take from your pay... let me know first." "Don't go buying useless stuff." "But I worked for that money." "Damn it!" "So what if you worked for it?" "You want to get everything?" "What about the food I fed you when you were small?" "You want me to make a list?" "You can't repay me for that." "I had a hard time raising you." "Now that you're all grown up... it's your obligation to serve and repay me." "When your shameless father abandoned us for another woman..." "I broke my back in order to feed you!" "Enough, Tonya." "Your mouth is like a gattling gun." "Good, so she'll get it in her head." "If you don't like my mouth, leave." "Come on, you're so short tempered." "Because you always defend Insiang." "Come on." "Yesterday you already got 50." "Only 50." "You're so stingy." "Stop tickling me." "No!" "Please..." "That's why I don't want to watch movies with you." "C'mon..." "That's why I don't want to go..." "Stop it." "One chewing gum." "The other day, I watched television all day long." "But didn't see Siony in "Disco-rama."" "We were unlucky." "But we went to the audition." "We were told to come back today." " We're in a hurry." " They hold auditions for that?" "Does the show "Because We Are Housewives" also hold auditions?" "But of course." "How do you join?" "Go to the studio and tell them you're my friend." "Tita, the one with a fair-skinned daughter... who joined "Disco-rama."" "The one who danced the salsa and boogie." "The one who almost won." "We've a lot of friends there." "Really?" "Maybe if I join that contest I'll surely win." "The story of my life is so sad." "Since my eldest got sick and Estong lost his job..." "I didn't know what to do " "Hey, don't cry here." "Reserve your tears for the program." "Tita is really something." "Such a strong fighting spirit." "Her daughter joins all kinds of contests and never wins." "Why don't you join, Insiang?" "That's right, Insiang." "There's no competition." "Look at her." "She thinks her daughter is the most beautiful in the world." "She puts on too much make-up, like butter on her face." "Maybe she's trying to hide her blemishes." "She's got fat legs and saddlebags." "How long is our credit list here?" "Not too long." "Here's to pay some." "Give me a kilo of rice and soap." "I'm amazed by your mother's gall." "Imagine, moving in with Dado who's young enough to be her son." "And why him?" "He'll just beat her." "Can't blame your mother, though." "She also has her needs." "It's your father's fault." "Be careful, Insiang." "Dado may turn his sights on you." "He won't have the guts with my mum there." "Hurry, she'll be here soon." "No, I saw them leave." "They went gambling." "I heard Into's gambling den is making a killing." "Oh, there's a new line of lipstick in the magazine." "Come in." "I'll show you." "But only for a little while." "Nanding, watch over the store." "Later, sis." "I'm still busy." " It won't take long." "Please!" " Okay, I'll do it." "This is what I'm telling you." "Look, this is really nice." "But of course, only Bebot will enjoy it." "What?" "You want to try the lipstick?" "Come here." " Sis..." " Mind the store." " It's too red." " But it sure tastes good." "What happened to you there?" "Instead of throwing 2 balls, you threw 3." "I got confused." "I signaled you but you didn't see me." " We got our signals mixed." " It's okay, we won 5 pesos." "And we put one over them." "Hey, Insiang, did you pay the debt I told you to settle?" "I've paid some of the store debt." "What nonsense did you do here while we were away?" "With all the housework, how can I do other things?" "You... son of a..." "Let her be." "She's just tired." "Why do you always defend that girl?" "I'm not defending her." "What's wrong with you?" "Your mouth is at work again." " It's your fault." " It's okay." "Just eat." "Go home now." "I'm closing the store." "Why?" "You don't have to close outside." "Wise-ass!" "You've been drinking here all day." "Nanding, cut that out and help me here." "But it's too early." "Did you forget?" "We're invited to dad's friend's party across town." "Let's invite Insiang." " I don't think it's possible." " Why not?" "Now she's got two sentry guards." "I thought it's only Mrs. Tonya who's strict with her." "I don't know." "That butcher, Dado, worries me." "The problem is you don't let me tag along when you watch a movie with Insiang." "All you do is give subtle hints." "I actually like Insiang for you." "But I don't want my friend to think that I'm forcing you on her." "Bring in the bench outside." "Hey!" "We're taking our bench." "May I take the bench, please." " Hi, bro." " How're you?" " Where's Insiang?" " I don't know." "Why?" "We're supposed to meet earlier but she's a no-show." "Maybe her mum didn't allow her." "Your poor friend." "She's the one who asked for a date and she stood me up." "I didn't report for work today because of that date." "Then she didn't show up." "If she angers me further, tell her to look for another boyfriend." "Don't be arrogant, Bebot." "It's none of your business." "You've got a dirty mouth." "Want me to sock you in the mouth?" "You're just jealous." "You only admire from afar." "Insiang won't even notice you." "Open the door." "Why?" "I've something to tell you." "What... it's midnight." " Let me in." " Let's talk here." " For a while..." "Let me in." " Mother is here." "I won't wake her." " Why did you stand me up?" " It's my mother." "My eye turned white waiting for you." "Maybe next time." "What next time?" "What do you want?" "What else?" "Bebot, please, you've got to go." "You'll wake up my mother and Dado." "Dado is there?" "Go now." "Wake up, flirt." "The sun is up!" "You're still asleep." "Who were you flirting with last night?" "I didn't do anything wrong, mother." "Nothing?" "Your Uncle Dado saw you right here in the house." "You want to fight with me?" "The moment I catch you, you're gonna get it." "I'll kill you when I catch you." "Do it again and that's not all you get." "The nerve of you to make out inside the house." "Next time it's not just a slap you get." "You should follow Bebot's style." "Insiang is so taken with him." "Trying to get attention but can't even come close." "How's that, bro?" "When something happens, you'll be the first to know." "What do you think he wants?" "Yes, Dado?" "I don't want you to go near Insiang." "Understood?" "Sure, if that's what you want." "Remember, Tonya is under my care." "Anyone under her is also under me." "Is that clear?" "You're wearing that earring again!" "That's why you irritate me." "Those who wear earrings are not real men." "Insiang, will you accompany me in my collection round?" "I can't." "Please, Insiang." "What happened to you?" "Just as I suspected." "If mother sees you here, you might get involved." "I saw her leave with Dado." "Maybe they went gambling again." "What happened?" "Bebot went to the house last night." "He passed by the store last night." "Because you stood him up on your date." "There was even a slight commotion." "You know my mum." "She doesn't want me to talk with any man." "Especially Bebot." "Of all the mothers I've met, your mother is the strangest." "She's so strict with you and yet... she doesn't care that everybody talks about her and Dado." "I don't know." "She always says that my father and I brought her bad luck." "She doesn't treat me like her own child." "What's worse is I feel a kind of hatred towards her." "A deep hatred." "I know it's not good to feel hatred for your parent." "But this has gone too far." "Why don't you elope with Bebot?" "He said he's not ready." "But he knows your situation." "Sometimes I find him arrogant." "If he really loves you, he should take you away from here." "He's the only one who can help you." " What are you doing here?" " I want to have a serious talk." "It's risky." "What do you mean risky?" "Why don't you ask Dado?" "What does he have to do with it?" "It's hard to say anything, Insiang." "You better go." "I don't want to get killed because of you." "Mother!" "Where's my mother?" "I don't know." "She left earlier." "Why do you have to meddle with my life?" "Meddle in what way?" "Don't deny." "You threatened Bebot." "Oh, that!" "It's for your own good." "Why don't you leave me alone?" "Who are you to mess with my life?" "You don't know Bebot." "He loves me." "That's what he tells you." "But you're not the only girl he messes around with." "There are many." "I know all the bastards here." "I don't believe you." "It's up to you." "If you want, I can bring Bebot hereto admit it." "You can do that." "He'll confess to anything because he's afraid of you." "Everyone here is afraid of you." "Don't be stubborn." "I'm not stubborn." "You just don't comprehend well." "I can comprehend good enough." "I don't want to put you at risk." "I'm just trying to help." "If you want to help me, leave!" "Why do you hate me so much?" "You should thank me." "I'm the one who stops your mother from hurting you." "If Bebot really loves you, he should take care of you... no matter what I tell him." "Don't think ill of me, Insiang." "I'm doing all of this for you." "What's all this nonsense?" "What's happening here, Insiang?" "I'm asking you!" "I teased her and she got annoyed." "What's happening here?" "Come on." "I've been waiting for you." "You're in a foul mood again." "Did you already cook?" "I'm asking you..." "did you already cook?" "What happened to you?" "It's Dado, Mum." "It's Dado." "You shameless cud!" "Pack up all your things and leave!" "Get out of here!" " Why!" "?" " Get out of here!" "What do you think of my daughter and I?" "Get out here!" "Bastard!" "Will you listen to me first!" "Yes, I admit it's my fault." "But it's also your daughter's fault." "You know what she does when you're not around?" "She bathes naked!" "And lies nude in bed!" "I'm just a man, Tonya." "Who'll not be seduced?" "What do you think of me... impotent?" "You think you can fool me?" "Liar!" "If you don't want to believe me because she's your daughter and I'm a nobody in this house..." "But I swear on my father's grave and the graves of all my relatives!" "What I'm saying is true." "Ask the neighbours." "She goes around with Bebot everywhere." "Too bad, I really am in love with you." "Of all my women, you're the only one I lived with." "This is what I get in return?" "Is that true?" "Ask around." "You shameless bitch!" "I believed you!" "Liar!" "I'm not lying." "You believe that man over me." "And why not?" "You are like your father" " Promiscuous!" "You even had to seduce Dado." "Shameless bitch!" "Paquito really abuses his car." "It's almost junk but he won't bring it here." "Pliers please..." "What are you doing here?" "I want to talk to you." "About what?" "Can we step outside?" "Take care of that, bro." " You need anything?" " You." "Did Dado allow you?" "Do you really love me?" "What do you think?" " Do you love me?" " Of course." "Then, let's elope." "What about Dado?" "It's none of his business." "Elope with me now, Bebot." "Let's live together." "I'll do anything for you." "Just take me away from here." "Just a minute." "How's my bet, bro?" "You lost." "Tough luck." "Maybe next time." "I can't." "Insiang's here." "We'll just wait for you there." "I think it's gonna be hard." "Dado has a hold on you." "Everybody knows what happened to both of you." "But I didn't like what happened." "He threatened me." "I don't want to go back home." "You're my only hope." "What will I do?" "Room please." "For a short time or staying in?" "Stay in." " How much?" " 18 pesos." "You have change, Insiang?" " How much?" " 8 pesos." "That's your room." "I'll turn on the fan." "Turn off the light." "What's wrong?" "Take care of me, Bebot." "You're the only one I can depend on." "I'll do anything for you." "Just don't abandon me." "Why will I do that?" "You're here with me now." "Just trust me." " May I ask you something?" " What?" "Did you see the guy who was with me last night?" "Where's your room?" "The last one." " The curly guy?" " Yes." "He left early this morning." "Did he say anything?" "No." "Let's eat." "You left and you returned." "I accept you back." "But from now on you'll go with me to the market." "I'll not give you a chance to repeat what you did." "You've a new side-line, Dado." "I have to." "Dado is something." "He even got the daughter." "He's got a hold on the neighbourhood and the interiors of two women." "Oh yeah, they're very insides." "What are you doing there?" "Help me bring this down." "From now on you sleep down here." "Quiet..." "I'm not going to do anything." "I'm sorry." "I did it because I couldn't take it much longer." "I couldn't bear it because I'm in love with you." "I moved in with your mother because of you." "I know what you're thinking but you're wrong." "There are many women who can give me a better life." "Younger and prettier than your mother." "But I ignored them." "I know how you hate me because I turned the situation around." "But that's the only way to avoid going to jail and being apart from you." "Give me a chance, Insiang, to prove that I really love you." "Let me do it, Insiang." "More." "You're not drunk yet." "You can do it." "You're making me drunk." "No." "You're making me drunk." "No." "Enough..." "Come on, some more." "No." "I've got to wake up early tomorrow." "I want to sleep now." "Come on." "Come on." "I want to sleep now." "I've got to wake up early tomorrow." "Turn on the tap, Insiang." "Turn it to the max so we won't be heard." "Your uncle and I will be making a lot of noise." "I'll take care of that, bro." "You seem to have made a lot of money." "I got my pay yesterday." " How are you, Ludy?" " Good." "Ludy, what's wrong?" "I get upset by what I hear about you." "But you can't blame those gossip-mongers." "I know you don't like what's happening." "Why don't you leave?" "It's obscene." "You're the lover of your mother's lover." "Those were hurtful words, sis." "But it's the truth." "She and her mother are the talk of the neighbourhood." "But you don't know if it's true or not." "Come on, Nanding." "If you don't believe it, ask her." "I apologise for my sister." "All they talk about here is this thing about you, your mother and Dado." " Is what they say true?" " What do they say?" "That you and your mother are the same." "You are also Dado's lover." "What do you think?" "I don't want to believe it." "Even if it's true, I know I still love you." "I wanted to tell you this for a long time." "I just don't have the guts." "I know you have a problem." "If it's true, I'm sure it's for a reason." "Let me help you." "Thank you Nanding." "But no one can help me with my problem... but myself." "Why don't you leave this place?" "Look for your father." "I suppose he won't drive you out." "Maybe he left because he couldn't stand your mother." "The reason I try my best to get an education... is to get a job so I can live by myself... away from here, far from all the trouble." "I'm sure my father will get angry when he learns my plan." "But I've realised that nothing will happen to me here." "No matter what I do." "I've got to take my chances." "I've no chance in this place." "I can't leave this place until I accomplish what I need to." "What is it?" "You'll find out someday." "I'll say it again, Insiang." "I'm ready to help." "Thank you, Nanding." "Thank you." "Is there a problem?" "Do you really love me?" "You don't have to ask that, Insiang." "I love you." "As soon as I get a better job, we're going to leave this place." "I will marry you." "There's something I want you to do." "What?" "I want revenge." "It's so hot." "Insiang, d'ya know what happened to your stupid boyfriend?" "Who?" "Curly Top?" "Who else?" "He was mauled near the dumpsite." "I hear he lost all his teeth." "Where have you been?" "I went to pee." "Why are you all sweaty?" "It's so hot." "Go back to sleep." "Let me help you." "Why don't you sleep now?" "It's still too early." "Come on, it's late already." "Insiang, see if there's water in the tap." "Fill up the drum." "I want you to tell me the truth." "Don't you try to deny anything and lie to me." "The past few days I noticed that you're close to Dado." "For several nights I woke up without him beside me." "Are you two intimate?" "Why don't you ask him?" "Answer me!" "What do you think?" "I only need one answer." "Yes or no?" "Yes." "You cannot hurt me, mother." "Why did you take him away from me?" "I did not take him away." "I'm the one he loves, not you." "Liar!" "We'll go far away and he'll marry me." "You mean nothing to him." "I don't believe you." "You know what he tells me... the things that you do in bed just to satisfy him." "Stop it!" "He told me everything, mother." "Enough!" "He despises you!" "He turns off the lights so he can stomach you." "You're old, mother." "Your skin is all withered." "The sight of you in the morning makes him want to puke." "He can't stand looking at you!" "That's not true." "Insiang, is Tonya there?" "Tonya!" "I have a surprise for you." "You seem to be happy." "I found a job." "My friend got me a job at a liquor factory in Cebu." "We can leave this place." "I'll go there ahead." "Then I'll write you." "What kind of job?" "Carrying crates." "It's better than nothing." "I'll be made permanent in a couple of months." "Good." "I'm happy for you." "Wait." "Tonya might come back." "She'll see us." " Why?" "Are you afraid?" " Not really." "Shameless bastard!" "Filthy animal!" "Damned filthy animal!" "Bastard! Damned filthy animal!" "I have a visitor?" "What are you doing here?" "I want to see you, mother." "Why?" "You think I regret what I did?" "You're wrong." "If he's not going to be mine, he's not going to be yours!" "Not everything I told you before was true." "I lied." "The only true thing I said was that he loved me... not you." "The rest I made up so you'd be angry with him." "I wanted you to lose all reason." "I wanted you to kill him." "Didn't you love him?" "I never loved him." "I was disgusted with him." "We just changed places." "I only wanted revenge." "Now that you have your revenge, you must be very happy." "No, mother." "What are you waiting for?" "What more do you want?" "Mother..." "Mother..." "I love you." "Subtitling:" "L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna"
