Original subtitles

You know, you are very, very beautiful.

You’re just being wasted here.

Why don’t you just go to Manila?

There are better opportunities there.

I’ve dreamed of that for a long time.

Ah, so that’s what it is.

We’re leaving later.

Do you want to come with us?

What? So you can pass me around?

Then leave me when you're done?

If I leave here,

I want someone who wants me to come along.

Not the kind where they just leave you when you get there.

Or be used to pass the time.

That’s difficult.

It’s not easy to find someone like that.

I know.

And I also know that you’re not that.

Alright, you go ahead. I still have to sell my goods.

You’re confusing.

Mom, are you going to town now?

Yes, we’re going to sell, so we can earn more.

- Take care. - Yes.

Dolor, your boyfriends have been line for a while now.

Sorry, I mean the customers.

They’re so excited for your barbecue!

Let us have a taste of that!

Don’t worry, we can pay you.

We just got paid.

Dolor, Dolor, your dipping sauce is Dolor.

Come on, let's play!

Who is that woman?

My dipping sauce is far better than that.

I heard it’s not just the sauce people go back for.

Apparently, Dolor has a secret ingredient.

Ugh… that’s really gross.

You said it yourself, babe.

That’s why I’m only with you.

It’s not only clean, but also nicely sweet.

Leave me alone, Raul!

Hey, Basti!

Basti! Come here.

You tell Dolor

she needs to stop doing that extra service.

She might even spread disease here.

What?

You don’t know what your friend is doing?

It’s impossible that you didn’t get involved with her.

Maybe you’re one of those having sex with your friend.

Hey! That’s rude!

My babe is talking to you!

They left you again…

Thank god you're here.

Make way!

Do you still need anything?

I'm good. Just help me with this.

Our barbecue sells out fast.

Dolor, is that going to take long?

It’ll be ready soon.

Alright, I’ll just come back later.

Basti, I'll leave you here for a while.

I just need to get something from the house.

I’ll just get it myself.

No, I'll go. Just take care of the orders.

Those are already paid.

You feel so good, Dolor!

Are you really gonna take me to Manila?

I promise.

Are you sure you're gonna take me to Manila?

I swear I'll take you there.

You feel so good, Dolor.

You feel so good, Dolor.

You've been here a lot of times

but you still haven’t kept your promise.

Well I haven't been to Manila yet.

All my assigned routes are going north.

That's what you always say.

Next time, I'll make you pay up.

What, are you really a prostitute now, Dolor?

I thought you said you didn’t want to be paid?

At least this way, I get something out of you.

Just sex, is that it?

If you don't want to bring me to Manila,

then pay up.

You know, if you're going to be like that,

no decent man will love you.

You sure say a lot

for someone who only has this much in his wallet.

Dolor! Give that back!

Let’s go! Take me back!

You got your hopes up again.

The goods sold out early.

So I went home.

I’ll do it myself, I can handle this.

Will you stop staring like that?

I might just melt.

Do you have something you want to say?

Dolor?

Is the truck driver your boyfriend?

Why are you asking that?

Basti…

You know what I want, right?

Why I’m doing this.

Right?

Are you ashamed to be my friend?

You know,

I'll never be ashamed of you.

I'm just worried about you.

Let’s hurry.

Here, Doctor.

Let’s go.

Dolor.

Ada.

This is Doctor Jimenez, by the way.

The barangay asked me to guide him.

That’s because he’s a volunteer doctor.

For a medical mission in our barangay.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

Hi Dolor.

Dolor… is Basti there?

We're wondering if he could give the doctor a ride.

Sorry for the trouble.

I missed the service earlier.

I just came from Manila.

Alright, I’ll just call him.

Perfect timing, you’re already here.

Ahh.

Basti.

We need a service right now.

There's a medical mission happening up there in the mountains.

Maybe you can give Dr. Jimenez a ride?

Even just at the foot of the mountain.

Good afternoon, bro.

Alright, Doctor, but…

My tricycle is over there.

Let’s go there.

Come on.

Hey, you.

- Why? - Are you crushing on Basti?

Oh no…

I know it's you that he loves.

Forget what I said.

Let me help you with that. What can I do?

Just cook these chicken intestines.

Okay.

Do I get anything for free there?

Of course, especially for you.

But you,

I can feel.

You like the doctor.

Huh? No, I don’t.

I like someone else.

It’s Mario.

But wait, why did you say I like the doctor?

It’s...

obvious on your face.

You were trying to act cute earlier.

If Doctor and I are a match, then you and Basti are a match too.

Do you want me to help you with Basti?

But there’s a fee.

Oh, really? You’re crazy.

Alright, let’s start grilling.

What do you want?

Anything, as long as it’s free.

Oh, snobbish.

Mario, someone might see you.

I just dropped by before going back to Manila.

I'm gonna miss you.

Geez… you just want a goodbye sex.

So, is Dolor in love with you?

When are you going to leave her and hurt her?

Come on, indulge me.

I promise.

You’re so delusional.

Oh.

Dreaming is so hard.

I’ll just remain a dream, then.

That’s because of you.

You trust people way too easily.

We both know what that guy wants from you.

It's for my dream.

For the sake of your dream?

They’re already fooling you.

Do you remember what I said?

We’ll rise out of poverty.

That no matter what happens,

we'll leave this place.

Basti.

I don't belong here.

What is there in Manila?

There are more opportunities for me there.

Compared to this place.

I don’t want to end up like my parents.

Born poor and died poor.

What about you, Basti?

Are you just going to be like that?

Don’t you have any dreams?

Don’t you want to find your parents?

What for?

To blame them?

That...

I’m just like this.

They left me all alone.

I managed on my own too.

I don’t care about them anymore.

Don’t you feel like something’s missing in you?

No.

You are here.

Do you have something you want to say?

Dolor?

You can sleep at the house later.

Okay.

Oh, stay here then.

I’ll stay in the living room then.

What are you on? We fit just fine here.

Your bed is so big.

That’s not possible.

You’re so picky.

Go ahead and sleep.

Dolor.

How about you stop what you are doing?

You’re always the one who loses.

Didn't we already talk about this?

But you just keep getting hurt over and over.

I’m used to it, Basti.

Let’s just sleep.

We still have an early day tomorrow.

Basti!

- Hi, Dolor. - Oh, hi!

I have some news for you.

Doctor Jimenez, you see,

is looking for a place to stay.

But there aren't any hotels nearby.

Maybe you can let him stay at your place first?

Doctor is willing to pay, though.

My place is already cramped.

- Let him stay somewhere else then. - Is that so?

How much will Doctor pay?

Seven hundred pesos.

Seven hundred pesos every night?

Yes.

Seven hundred?

Please tell Doctor

to stay with me, I’ll prepare the house for him.

You only have one room, right?

I’ll give him my room, and I’ll sleep in the living room.

Are you sure?

Yes.

It's a good offer.

We need money, life is so hard.

Right?

Hi, Doctor. Please come in. I'll help you.

Thank you, Dolor, for letting me stay here.

No problem, Doctor.

We have a lot of seminars, you see.

Especially with the indigenous communities.

The setup is really chaotic.

There's no hotel accommodation at all.

Oh Doctor, this will be your room.

- How about you? - Where will you sleep?

I’m fine there, I’m used to sleeping there.

Doctor, have you eaten yet?

I’ve prepared something for you.

Perfect timing, I'm hungry.

Eat up, doc.

Please eat, Doctor.

Please eat, Doctor.

Your barbecue is really delicious.

Especially the dipping sauce. Did you make it?

I have a street food stall.

I set some aside for you before it ran out.

Is it good?

The dipping sauce is a winner.

Basti.

You and the doctor left quite early.

I cooked breakfast for both of you.

Here.

Alright, just put it there.

But you know...

You shouldn't have bothered.

Dolor is here.

She’s taking care of us.

Basti.

Do you really love Dolor?

It's scorching hot.

For real.

It's like we're in a desert.

Look at the soil it’s completely parched.

Let it be.

Hey!

The bastard's here.

- And the dipping sauce of the town. - Just let them be.

- Come on! - What’s your problem?

That’s why I really can’t wait to leave this place.

The heat and the dust are getting unbearable.

When you leave,

who will be with me?

Ada.

Huh?

Oh, why?

Ever since we were kids,

we've already known she's in love with you.

She’s not the one I love.

Don’t waste your love on someone like me.

Such a waste.

Hi, Basti.

- Ada. - How are you?

I am going to buy.

Alright, go ahead and get it.

Maybe about three of these.

Wait.

This will be my meal later.

Hmm, that looks delicious.

Hey Basti!

Your friend has another new fling.

After the tourist and the truck driver,

it's the doctor this time.

Yuck!

So disgusting.

Excuse me, Ma'am Myrna.

- Ma'am Myrna? - Hey!

Watch your mouth.

My babe is still young.

If you’re jealous,

because Dolor has many customers,

don't ruin her reputation.

Ruin?

I'm envious?

Of her?

Yuck!

No matter how much you defend her,

everyone knows the truth.

The Town’s Dipping Sauce.

That’s what everyone calls Dolor.

Right!

Not like my girl.

Myrna only belongs to me.

You know what...

Why not just shut down your business?

No one's buying what you're selling anyway. Right?

You know why?

Your sauce isn’t even good,

Ma'am Myrna.

It tastes spoiled.

Just let them be.

Are you okay?

Yes, I’m okay.

They’re getting too much.

Thank you.

That’s okay, right?

Dolor is our friend.

From what I’ve seen on TV,

Manila is beautiful.

It seems like wealthy people live there.

It feels like a different world.

Far different from this place.

Well, If you ask me,

it’s happier and more peaceful here.

The heat and traffic in Manila are unbearable.

Goods are expensive too.

Why don’t you just live here, Doctor?

Why don't you just tag along with me to Manila?

Where will I stay?

Of course, with me.

What do you want in return?

Nothing in return.

There’s a drinking session at the house come over.

Okay, I’ll come over.

You’re really happy right now.

What’s going on?

Nothing.

Come on.

I’m so happy, Basti.

- Why? - I've never felt like this before.

Did you win the lottery?

Basti.

I’m going to Manila!

This is real.

Dr. Jimenez is taking me with him.

That’s where we’ll live!

Hey!

Be happy for me, at least.

Basti, Ada.

Did you see Dolor?

What do you need from her?

Uhm...

Nothing.

Alright, I’ll go ahead.

When are you really leaving, Doctor?

Why?

Are you tired of serving me?

I’m just worried about my friend.

She is already crazy about you.

Dolor?

That's nothing.

That's something for me!

You want Dolor? The problem is,

you can’t bring her to Manila. That’s it.

Don’t take advantage of my friend’s weakness!

Alright, alright, Doctor,

we’re leaving now.

We’ve closed up now.

Alright, that’s enough.

Come on. Let's go.

I already told you.

Don't drink too much.

You’re not used to alcohol.

Ada.

I’m actually okay.

You’re spoiling me too much.

Well, what can I do?

If Dolor finds out,

you got drunk because of her,

she’ll get mad at you.

Why?

Are you going to tell her?

You know,

you’re so selfish.

You should

be happy for her.

Because at last...

Dolor’s dreams are finally coming true.

Why?

What do you want me to do?

Should I throw a party now because finally,

she’s leaving?

She’s leaving me behind.

She’s going with

that muscle doctor!

Is that what you want to happen, Ada?

Easy for you to say, since you’ve never been in love.

You know, if it's really true that I've never been in love,

I wouldn't be here right now.

What am I even to you?

I love you so much, Basti.

I don’t care

if you love someone else.

As long as...

I love you.

What are you doing?

I’m ready to give myself to you.

I’m not asking for anything in return.

I just want

you to be my first.

- Dolor. - Yes?

I brought something for you.

What is that?

Just open it.

Wow.

It looks nice.

Wow.

This is really beautiful. Seems like it suits me.

This is really beautiful.

When I saw that at the market, I thought of you.

You’re like a sunflower, you always brighten my day.

Oh, smooth talker!

That's what you'll wear for our date in Manila.

Doctor, take me to Manila.

I already promised Dolor.

Maybe next time.

Come on, Doc. Please.

Choose me instead. Dolor would just embarrass you.

I'll go ahead, Myrna. See you next time.

Hi, what do you need?

Is this where Dolor Acueza’s grill is?

Yes. I’m Dolor.

That’s her!

She’s the woman you’re looking for, Mrs. Jimenez.

Mrs. Jimenez?

Are you Dr. Jimenez’s mother?

The nerve you have to say that

to the one and only legal wife of the man you're having an affair with!

I’m not here to fight.

I just wanted to check

what kind of woman my husband chose.

I’m so disappointed.

It’s just another cheap mistress

added to the roster.

I didn’t know he was already married.

That’s old news.

That’s also what the other mistresses said.

If only you’re not stupid.

What did you do?

Hon, not here, please.

Don’t make a scene.

I’m not doing anything.

I just showed up.

And if you’re going to replace me,

I hope

it’s not with a whore.

You’re going too far, Ma’am.

If you don’t have anything good to say,

it’s better if you just leave.

Oh, why?

Is she not a whore?

See for yourself.

See for yourself.

Look at this.

Feast your eyes on how good this whore is!

- Let’s go, Hon. Let’s go home. - No!

Go home now.

The drama is over.

It's been a while since I last held this.

Maybe it's off-beat.

What face can I even show to people?

The town’s dipping sauce, the whore.

Everyone’s just fooling me.

Me, the fool,

I believe so easily.

I just want to love.

I just want to dream.

Why does luck always evade me?

What's so funny?

Nothing.

I’m just laughing at what’s happening to me here.

What are you planning to do?

Maybe I really need to leave this place.

I even blame myself

for still waiting for

someone to go with me out of here.

Maybe it’s because...

I’m afraid to start over again.

It’s scarier to be left behind.

Why don't you just stay?

Just stay here.

Just let me love you.

You don’t have to love me back.

That’s exactly why.

Those who love are fools.

Dolor?

Dolor?

Dolor?

Take me with you.

I need to do this alone.

I love you!

I know.

Learn how to love Ada.

You are the one I love.

She would be better for you.

Don’t leave anymore.

Thank you for everything.

I will always remember what we had.

Don’t forget me, Basti.

I can’t bear to see you leave.

I love you.
