Mother: Do you find your job exciting?

in Asia. (titingin ka bobbie ng malungkot). I might be asked to relocate soon, actually.
(Bobbie-titingin kay Tristan)
Mother: Teddie, is there an opening in your school? Maybe you can ask for a spot for Gabby.

Alex: My films are getting recognized, one even got into a film fest last year. F ARTS Fest. Film
Arts of Sorsogon Fest 2012.
Reb-reb: What was that movie called again? And who was that actress?
Gabby: Something… Someday
Toti Marie: “Someday, sisa will be a star” starring Susan Suarez
Teddie: What?
Toti Marie: Someday, Sisa will be a star!

(Everyone was laughing)

Manang: It's like you're all kids again. If not for Reb-reb’s wedding, none of you might have
come home.
Reb-reb: That's right, manang. Good thing I'm getting married.

(Everyone was silent)

Teddy: Hey, are you sure about that girl?

Reb-reb: Of course ate, why?
Teddy: Well, Alex said she's chararat.

(Everyone was looking to Alex)

Reb-reb: Why? What's chararat?

Alex: Chararat…
Bobbie: Unattractive.
Teddy: ah sugarcoating (oh pinaganda mo pa!)
Teddy: Ugly (prangka yung tone)
Teddy: But that's what she said… (pahina yung tone)
Frodo: Oh my love… I'm ugly too but you fell for me (magc-cling kay teddie)
Manang: He has a point.
Bobbie: Regardless of how she looks, that is not the point.
Bobbie: You're too young. Do you know what you are getting into? You're only 23.
Reb-reb: What about mama? She was at my age when she married Papa.
Mother: Son, that was a different time.
Gabby: And… They love each other.
Reb-reb: We do love each other.
Gabby: Love? Four months?
Reb-reb: The length in our relationship is not important. Some couples break up despite being
together for years.
Bobbie: Fine. But why do you want to marry her right away?
Reb-reb: Her sickly grandfather wants to see his grandchild by the Princess before he dies.

(Everyone laugh)

Teddy: What? (While laughing)

Gabby: What if interfile?
Reb-reb: Do you really think so low of me? That I would marry her just for sex?
Teddy: Or she is marrying you for sex. (Everyone laugh)

Alex: What if they really do love each other? Reb-reb is a big big. Let's let him be.
Gabby: Oh excuse me sis. That wasn't your opinion, the other day you didn't want reb-reb to
marry her.
Alex: That was the other day. He seems sure. Let's not ruin it for him.
Teddy: Then, why are you here? If we're not going to help him in making the right decisions?
Alex: Are you sure he is wrong about this?
Bobbie: Didn't he say that to Nicole? He said he was sure that he made the right decision, then
he proposed. And then what happened? She dumped him.
(Reb-reb aalis)
Alex: That was Nicole. This is Princess. They are different.
Bobbie: So, we'll let him jump into this without any thoughts or planning?
Alex: Not everything needs to be thought about.
Alex: When you're lucky enough to find love.
Bobbie: So just forget the family? Is that it?
Alex: Yes (low tone)
Alex: If that love will make you so happy.
Bobbie: So happy? Even if that happiness hurts others?
Mother: Wait. Are we still talking about CJ?
Alex: Yes ma.
(4 sisters): Yes? (“yata" yan, so patanong imnida)
Mother: You all have a point. But the one who needs to hear them, has already walked out.
(Habang tinuturo yung seat ni reb-reb sa hapag-kainan)

(Manang aalis sa frame)

Mother: Fix this.

CONTINUATION SCENE

(Reb-reb nakaupo)

4 sisters: Sorry.
Teddy: Let me. Sorry. E of course we are your sisters. We are overprotective to you because
you are our baby brother.
Gabby: Sorry, but I really don't like her for you. But… I will try to get to know her so that I can
see what you saw in her.
Bobbie: I'm sorry. I just wanna make sure you're not making a big mistake. It's your whole life
we are talking about.
(Reb-reb titingin kay Alex)
Alex: What? I was only your defender earlier.
Reb-reb: You called Princess chararat.
Alex: Ah sorry.
Teddy: Oh are you still angry?
(4 sisters a-asarin si reb-reb tapos maga-act na lalapit kay reb-reb)

(Mag g-gesture si reb-reb ng stop)

Reb-reb: Hep. Bugs sisters. Please behave tomorrow in pamamanhikan?

(4 sisters nag posture na parang nag-iisip)

SECOND SCENE: Meet the In-laws

Main-maid of Ba-yag Family: Please take a seat. The master and the mistress will be down
shortly.
(Uupo sa mga seat ang Salazar family)
Main-maid of Ba-yag Family: The guest have arrived (habang hawak ang telephone)
Main-maid of Ba-yag Family: Cue in the master. In three… two… one…
Alex: Action (pataas yung tone)
Mother and Reb-reb: Shh
Alex: What?
Boy (Princess’s father): Hello! The Salazar family! (Energetic tuh)
Boy: Finally we met! Welcome.
Salazar family: Good morning sir.
Reb-reb: Sir (makikipag kamay)
Boy: CJ, you can call me “daddy" already.
Boy: Your sisters are beautiful. But where's your mom? Is she coming?
Grace (mother of Salazar): I'm grace. CJ’s Mama.
Boy: Oh, come on. You must be kidding. (Itatap si CJ sa balikat). She looks like your sister.
Welcome Grace! I'm Honey Boy.
(Magbebeso si Grace and Boy).
Boy: You can call me Honey, but my wife would prefer you call me Boy. Call me Boy.
Grace: Okay boy.
Reb-reb: Dad, let me introduce you to my big sisters.
Reb-reb: This is Gabbie. (Ituturo si Gabbie)
Gabbie: Good Morning sir. (Mag i-initiate ng handshake).
Boy: The old maid.
Alex: Hi sir, Alex. (Habang natawa)
(Magha-handshake si Alex and Boy)
Boy: Ah, the black sheep of the family.
Reb-reb: Ah this is Teddie. (Lalapit sa side nila Teddie kasama si Boy).
Boy: The maid in Spain. (Habang natawa and nakikipag handshake kay Teddie).
Teddie: Maid?
Frodo: That is absurd! (Sisingit bigla—nasa likod ni Teddie)
Frodo: She is the English tutor of the King's nephew’s son. Right? (titingin kay Teddie)
Boy: I meant she lives in Spain.
Bobbie: Bobbie… (mag i-initiate ng handshake)
Boy: The New Yorker. Let me guess. Caregiver?
Bobbie: I am a corporate communication manager. I am required to have an extensive
vocabulary, so I never use inane and poorly-worded language, like black sheep and old maid to
describe the people I just met.
Grace: Roberta. (Pasaway yung tone)
Boy: Wow! My nose is bleeding from that. But intelligent.
(Titingin si Boy kay Tristan)
Tristan: Tristan Harris. Bobbie's boyfriend. (Nag initiate ng handshake) And this is my daughter
Trixie. (Hahawakan si Trixie).
Boy: Oh, that accent will make my nose bleed too.
Grace: That's Manang and that's Toti Marie. (Ituturo sina Manang at Toti Marie)
Main-maid of Ba-yag Family: Introduction's over. Cue in the mistress. In three… two… one…

(Papasok si Jeanette) - gigilid muna yung mga nasa scene na to tapos titingin kay Jeanette.

Jeanette: Bonjour! Hallo, hallo hallo. Welcome to my humble home. Hallo, hallo, hallo. (Tatawa)
Reb-reb: Hi mom! (Magbebeso si reb-reb tsaka Jeanette).
Jeanette: I'm Jeanette!
Grace: Hello! Janet.
Jeanette: No! Not Janet. Jeanette. That is different.
Grace: Jeanette.
(Titingin si Jeanette sa Salazar family)
Reb-reb: Ma'am where's princess?
(Papasok si Princess)
Princess: Hi!
Jeanette: Speaking of the devil. (Ituturo si princess) The devil is here. (Magw-wave ng hand si
princess).
Jeanette: Descended from the rare line of beauty queens… Shining, shimmering, splendid.
Jeanette: The one and only…
Princess: Hello, my love. (Lalapit kay reb-reb)
Reb-reb: Hello, my love.
Jeanette: Princess Antoinette
Princess: Hi Mama. (Makikipag beso kay Grace)
Jeanette: May… (matagal ang pagbigkas)
Jeanette: Ba-yag. (Matagal din yung pag bigkas and tatawa yung salazar family).

THIRD SCENE: Dining Area

Jeanette: Oh, you should see the church. It's so divine! And on the day of the wedding, it will be
filled with the color of rainbows.
Bobbie: Rainbow? (Pataray i2) That's the theme?
Jeanette: No. It's the motif of entourage dresses. The theme is Under the Sea. It symbolizes CJ
and Princess first meeting at the sea.
(Teddie and Frodo tatawa and mag aapir)
Teddie: Ho… Hold on. Under the sea? You must be kidding right? Are you serious? (habang
natawa I2)
Jeanette: Of course. Do I look like I'm kidding? This is my serious face. (Ituturo ang face niya)
And this is my joking face (Ituturo ang face tapos stop saglit then tatawa).
Jeanette: And because the theme is Under the Sea my Princess will be the beautiful mermaid
while her entourage and bridesmaids will be the sea creatures from the ocean.
Bobbie: What?
Alex: Ano? (Itatap yung table, mahina lang hehe)
Teddie: Huh?
(Magc-clap twice si Jeannette)
Jeanette: Hurry up!
(Kukuhain ng maid yung mga designs)
Jeanette: You'll see.
Jeanette: Here. (Ituturo ang mga designs)
Jeanette: Jelly-fish inspired.
Jeanette: Starfish. (Ituturo ang design)
Jeanette: Sea-horse and Octopus. Beautiful. Isn't it?
Grace: Jeannette isn't that little too much?
Bobbie: A little? (Sabay titingin kay Grace imnida)
Grace: Yes. A little.
Jeanette: No. It's not a little. It's really too much.
Jeanette: You look worried, huh? Don't worry, Pedring is already taking care of the dresses.
Jeanette: Pedring Mabutay has been my couturier since my beauty queen days. Just one look
at the pictures that CJ’s sent him, he already knows all of your measurements.
Gabbie: Hmm. So the gowns are done, huh?
Jeannette: Yes.
Teddie: And. You're shouldering all the expenses? So, what is our contribution?
Jeanette: As I've said, we're taking care of everything. Money is not an issue. At least for us…
(titingin sa Salazar family parang nangj-judge).
Teddie: So you think that money is an issue for us?
Jeanette: My dear, I never said that. Is that what you think? (Tatawa after)
Teddie: Whatever.
Boy: Well now you can think of it. Sasa the pre-nup please.
(Magc-clap twice yung main-maid)
Princess: Daddy…
(I-aabot ng isang maid yung pre-nup kay Boy)
Princess: Love, sorry. I had no idea.
Boy: CJ, I hope you understand. You know that—what you earn in a month. I can earn in an
hour. You might not be able to support the lifestyle of a Princess used to. I'm just protecting
my…
(Sabay sasabat si Alex)
Alex: Um, excuse me. What do you think my brother is going to do to your daughter? Use her
for money?
Boy: It's not like that at all. This is just a precaution. I don't want my daughter to lose at the end.
Alex: Lose? They're not even married yet and my brother's already lost.
Reb-reb: Everyone. (Titingin sa Salazar Family).
Reb-reb: Ma. It's okay. My intentions are pure.
Lolo: They better be!
Princess: Grandpa! (Lalapit yung lolo kayla Princess)
(Magma-mano si Princess at CJ)
Lolo: Oh CJ, remember what I told you? Take care of my granddaughter or else I will haunt you
after death.
(Tatawa ng mahina ang Ba-yag Family and si CJ).

(Maga-act na parang nahihirapan huminga si lolo)

Reb-reb: Grandpa?
Princess: Gramps are you okay?
(Magpapanic sila pati ang Salazar Family, tatayo sila sa upuan)
Reb-reb: Water! Give him some water.
Teddie: Ambulansya (sasabihin niya kay Bobbie)
Bobbie: Wait. (Habang hawak yung phone and may tinatype)
Lolo: Gotcha!

CONTINUATION SCENE:

parang nasa upuan sila reb-reb and princess (silang dalawa lang sa scene na to)

Princess: My love.
Princess: Why did your family leave in such a hurry? Did I turn them off?
Reb-reb: Of course not, my love. I think they were surprised. They just haven't met someone
with a unique sense of fashion like you.
Princess: So what do we do, my love? What do I have to do to make them like me?
Reb-reb: You don't need to do anything. Just be you. (Hahawak sa chin ni Princess si reb-reb).
And they will love you.
(Lalapit si Princess kay Reb-reb like magc-cling)
Princess: Are you sure?
Reb-reb: I love you. So they need to learn how to love you too. And I think they are smart
enough to know that.
Fourth scene: Stopping the wedding plan of Four Sisters

Gabby: So what are we going to do? (Habang naglalakad papunta sa upuan niya).
Teddie: Yes. We need ideas. Anyone? Everyone? (Titingin kay Alex, Gabby, and Bobbie).
Teddie: Hey! Are you with us? (Titingin kay Bobbie)
Bobbie: Yes I'm here. But I'm on New York time. I have a Skype call with my boss in a few
minutes. And I have to finish my reports.
Teddie: So that explains the blazer in this blazing heat.
Bobbie: But go on. I'm listening.
Teddie: Okay then.
(Galing sa gilid si Gabbie tapos uupo ulit sa tabi ni Teddie)
Teddie: Come on. Think.
Teddie: I'm sure that Ba-yag has dirty secrets.
Gabby: Teddie. Ba-yag.
Teddie: Why??
Teddie: I can smell the dirty of those Ba-yag.
Gabby: Teddie.
Teddie: Obviously, they did not start out being rich and they're not going to be that suddenly rich
if those Ba-yag are not doing illegal things.
Gabby: Teddie!
Teddie: Think. Come on.
Alex: But seriously, what sort of business does Ba-yag have?
Bobbie: Several. (While nagt-type sa laptop).
(Lalapit si Gabby)
Bobbie: But their most profitable is their chain of men-only spa.
Teddie: So she's listening. Let me see. (Lalapit kay Bobbie).
Teddie: Ah papa's spa. Endless joy. We give you happy endings??
Teddie: Just like what I have said, those Ba-yag have dirty secrets. (Habang pabalik sa upuan
niya ulit).
Teddie: I knew it.
Bobbie: Oh you don't know it. You don't have any evidence.
Gabby: She has a point.
 Fifth scene: Confrontation

Teddie: I'm sorry. (Habang hinahawakan si CJ, tapos si CJ naglalakad palayo).

Reb-reb: No. No! Why Teddie? What were you thinking? (Pasigaw I2)
(Papasok si Bobbie sa eksena, iaabot kay Toti Marie yung laptop, nasa eksena rin si gabby
nakaupo sa gilid).
Reb-reb: Princess and her family did not deserve this. That's the business of my futures wife's
family. Of your future sister in-law!
Teddie: I'm really sorry.
(Lalapit si Bobbie kay Gabby and si Gabby may ibubulong).
Gabby: She raided the spa.
Teddie: CJ I'm sorry.
(Titingin si Teddie sa side nina Bobbie at Gabby)
Teddie: I assumed something was wrong with the spa, when I saw their happy ending
packages.
Reb-reb: Well it was you who only thought of it as a wrong! (Pasigaw tapos iduduro si Teddie).
Reb-reb: Do you know Uncle Boy wanted to sue you?! I had to get on my knees and beg him
not to go through with it. But if it were me? I would have had you arrested.
Bobbie: CJ.
Reb-reb: What? (Mataas yung boses).
Bobbie: That's too much. (Lalapit kaila Teddie and Reb-reb).
Bobbie: She was wrong. She admitted it. She apologize. Isn't that enough?
Reb-reb: It's not enough! I wanted to know why she did it.
Bobbie: Obviously, she's concerned about you.
Gabby: We don't want you marrying someone with a questionable background.
Reb-reb: What?!
Gabby: That's why we did what we did.
Reb-reb: Wait. So you knew about this?!
(Pupunta si Alex sa pinto, pero hindi pa sha papasok).
Reb-reb: Why didn't you stop Teddie? Are you part of this? Are you part of this Gabby?!
Alex: We are all part of this.
(Papasok na si Alex sa pinto).
Alex: We just don't want you to-
Reb-reb: All of you?!
(Titingin si Reb-reb kay Bobbie).
Reb-reb: Bobbie, are you agreed with this.
Bobbie: No. I did not agree to this. Or to whatever plan we talked about.
Reb-reb: So you made plans. All of you! What were you trying to do?!
Bobbie: We wanted you to realize that Princess is not the girl for you.
Reb-reb: God! (Mapapahawak sha sa ulo th na uupo sa upuan).
Reb-reb: Didn't I asked you to be behave? Before the pamamanhikan.
Gabby: We did it. Just like what you asked. Despite your in-laws are insensitive and arrogant.
Reb-reb: Just because they brought up a pre-nup they are arrogant? (Nakatayo na si Reb-reb
sa upuan and nakatingin sa side nina Gabby).
Alex: Aren't they? Hello? They insulted you. They insulted us. What were you think of them?!
Reb-reb: Oh hold on. You talked as if you're a saint!
Alex: What?
Reb-reb: I'm still offended that you called Princess chararat.
Alex: Can't I commented about your chararat girlfriend?
Reb-reb: What if I call your boyfriend a douchebag?!
Teddie: CJ. (Hahawakan si CJ parang pinapatigil).
Reb-reb: Well he is! Because he went to you after Bobbie. (Ituturo si Alex and Bobbie).
Bobbie: CJ.
Reb-reb: What?
Bobbie: Don't you even go there.
Reb-reb: That's the true!
Bobbie: Even so. You've crossed the line.
Reb-reb: All of you crossed the line too! Stop meddling with my life!
Bobbie: We do it because we love you! Think about that before you raise your voice at all of us.
Teddie: CJ, I was trying to protect you. (Hahawakan ang braso si CJ, pero ilalayo ni CJ yung
braso niya). You our baby brother.
Alex: We prayed to God.
Reb-reb: I know you did. But in case you just missed it, I'm not a baby anymore! I'm grown up
now and I'm making grown-up decisions. Unlike all of you. Start accepting the fact that I'm
marrying Princess, whether you like it or not! (Aalis sa scene)
Bobbie: Oh my God. My God Teddie you go with that plan?! Why did you push through with that
stupid plan?
Teddie: No, Bobbie.
Bobbie: No, that plan is really stupid. No wonder why he is so mad. (Pasigaw I2)
Bobbie: What were you thinking? Did you think at all? My God.
Teddie: I get it. I messed up. Stop shoving it to my face.
Bobbie: Now instead of making him leave Princess all the more he wanted to marry her. How
stupid.
Teddie: I was wrong but I'm not stupid.
Bobbie: What? Did I say that you're stupid?
Teddie: You just said it.
Bobbie: You're misinterpreting me again. I said the idea was stupid not you!
Teddie: No you did, you just said it.
(Lalapit si Gabby and Alex Kayla Bobbie)
Gabby: Please stop it.
Teddie: No you did.
Bobbie: Only if you'd let me finish speaking. That's why you always misinterpret what I say.
Alex: Stop making excuses!
Bobbie: What?
Alex: You're being a New Yorker, but that does not make you better than us.
Bobbie: Oh so this is about me now?!
Alex: You cold hearted bitch!
Bobbie: Don't talk to me that way!
Manang: Hey! Hey! Your mom's coming, stop screaming!
(Papasok sina Manang and Grace sa pinto)
Grace: Are you fighting?
Alex: No ma we're just playing… (Titingin kay Gabby)
Gabby: Charades, Ma.
Alex: Charades that's right.

(Sabay silang apat na magkakapatid na sabihing “You’re our favorite Mama!”)

(Sabay yakap yung tatlo sa mama nila tas after non titingin sila kay gabbie)
Gabbie: Oh?
Teddie: Thank you for looking after Mama. And for taking care of us. (Sabay bigay ng biscuits)
Mother: Thank you. (Yakap sila dalawa)
Gabbie: Thank you too, Ma. Thank you, sisters.
Teddie: What's this!
Bobbie: You’ll take your MA in New York. You’ll stay with me, so you won’t fight with Mama
anymore.
Gabbie: What about Mama?
Teddie: What is the point of me being a maid? I’ll be the one to look after Mama. And I know
that Bobbie will give me a fat paycheck.
Bobbie: Really?
Teddie: Yes.
Bobbie: Okay. I’ll double your salary.
Teddie: Yes please. I need money for shopping.
Trixie: Excuse me.
Bobbie: Yes?
Trixie: But whose is that for?
Alex: That’s for Reb-Reb. He was named after those. That’s why he’s sweet!

(sabay yakap silang lahat kasama si trixie)
