Original subtitles

Aah! [GRUNTS]

You're tugging an umbrella and smiling?

- Because it's you. - I have three dreams.

But two of them already came true.

- Like what? - To travel.

Second, to fight with Matmat.

It just feels different to me when we fight.

It feels like we're normal siblings.

- What's the last one? - That one's impossible.

I like her.

Patpat is happy?

By the way, the hospital called.

They said he can't be operated on anymore

because of his brain tumor.

- Let's go out. - I can't.

Matmat rarely invites me, so I already said yes.

Let me come with you, please.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]

[MATMAT] Order anything.

Just order anything, Patpat.

Are you sure, Matmat?

Steak.

You want steak.

You've wanted it for a long time.

Steak?

Waiter! Waiter?

Waiter. Waiter.

S-Steak, please.

We'll order rice, too.

Your dishes don't come with rice.

And...

...s-spaghetti.

Is that all, sir? Okay.

Thank you.

Are you excited, Patpat?

[MELLOW MUSIC CONTINUES]

Miss Li...

Give me a chance with Gemma.

It's my turn!

Why are you asking me for a chance?

Vincent goes straight to Gemma himself.

Miss Li, that's exactly my point.

That guy with the mustache always has opportunities,

always has a window, but me? None.

Give me a chance too, Miss Li.

- Oh, sorry. - Right?

Remember what we talked about before?

I said next time, I hope the fight is fair.

Right?

- We agreed on that, Miss Li. - Yeah, but...

...it seems like you don't really like Gemma anymore.

Miss Li, what are you saying?

Would I be this worked up if Gemma wasn't in my heart?

You take that.

Because if you really love Gemma,

then you should be putting in extra effort.

Isn't that right, Madeth?

M-Miss Li, the rice is so soft.

It's delicious.

The rice is good?

Don't mind Madeth.

She's thinking of something else.

Is that true, Madeth?

Are you thinking of something else?

Okay, let's just do this.

The next time I want to make a move,

don't interfere, please.

Of course, I won't.

Because I already know where this is heading.

[SIGHS]

To be young and so in love.

[MELLOW MUSIC CONTINUES]

T-That's yours, Patpat.

That's for you.

Mm.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Is it good?

- It's good! - It's good!

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Put some of this, too.

There, like that.

Like that.

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

- Mm! - [MATMAT GIGGLES]

It really is good!

- Eat plenty, Patpat. - Mm-hmm.

[CHUCKLES]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

[CHUCKLES]

Mm.

Oh.

It's expensive.

Matmat will pay for it.

Matmat, it seems expensive.

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

T-That's wrong.

The bill is wrong.

It's wrong.

We only ordered a little.

[QUIRKY MUSIC CONTINUES]

It's wrong.

Matmat will only pay for what we ordered.

[QUIRKY MUSIC CONTINUES]

That's all I'll pay.

Patpat.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

So...

you'll still have money when you go to work.

Don't cry.

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

Matmat will go down and talk to the manager.

So we don't get scammed.

[PATRICK CHUCKLES]

Follow after, Patpat.

Follow, okay?

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

Mister Waiter?

O-Our bill is wrong.

We ordered steak, spaghetti, juice, and rice.

The bill is wrong.

- The steak, spaghetti-- - But sir...

who'll pay for what she ate?

Hi, Matmat.

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

[MATMAT HUFFS]

What are you doing here?

Patpat, what's she doing here?

Eating, like you.

I'm not paying for what she ate.

I'm not paying for her food.

Matmat?

Matmat, wait.

Matmat, you're walking out again?

- How much is her bill? - About 2,000, sir.

[SIGHS]

Matmat, give me an allowance, too.

When I peeked earlier,

I heard you'd give Patrick an allowance.

I-I won't give you an allowance.

I only give an allowance to my sibling.

Matmat, I don't have a family anymore.

No one else will give me an allowance.

Please, Matmat!

I want a sibling!

I want an older brother like you!

Patpat, come on.

Let's go home.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Mia, let's go.

Come on, Matmat.

I knew you'd take me with you anyway.

Next time, when your older brother calls you,

you go right away.

[HUFFS]

Sorry, Matmat.

Let's go home.

[MIA GIGGLES]

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MATMAT] Hi, hi!

Ducks!

Slow down, Matmat.

Hi, ducks!

Matmat, do you know the story of the ugly duckling?

[DUCKS QUACKING]

T-The...

the duck that was bullied by its siblings

because it was different?

Yes, that one.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

He ran away, right?

He left his family because...

he was sad.

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Do you think, Matmat...

if the mother had made that different duck feel loved...

...would it still have left?

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

No.

Why?

B-Because the mother duck accepted...

her child, even if it was different.

[PATPAT] I hope all adults know how to accept the younger ones.

So that those without a mom, or dad, or relatives

won't be sad for being alone.

You're here.

[MATMAT] Careful, Mia, you might fall.

[PATRICK] Matmat is right.

Mia, look.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's go inside.

[MIA, MATMAT GIGGLING]

[MIA] Thank you, Matmat.

[MATMAT] Welcome, Mia.

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]

[EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES]

- Good morning! - It's not good when it's burnt.

What happened there?

T-The bread is burnt. The food is burnt.

You told me it's important to have breakfast before work.

So, here, I prepared breakfast.

You should have woken me up so I could cook.

I tried to wake you up, Patpat.

But you wouldn't wake up.

- I didn't wake up? - No.

I tried to wake you up, too.

Even when I shouted, you were so out of it.

You slapped Patpat.

Next time, don't slap. That's bad.

I just did it to wake him up.

Did you have a beautiful dream?

That's why you didn't wake up?

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

Matmat, I'll cook again.

Do you want something?

P-People in books should have names.

Okay.

The Masked Boy, Mister Box,

and the Princess Without Feelings.

[MATMAT] T-That's not what I mean.

Matthew Gonzales, Mia Hernandez...

Names like that.

I don't like that. It's too predictable.

In all my books, the characters don't have names.

No Edgar, no Richard, no Satsat...

No names.

But if they're people, they should have names.

Mia! Matmat!

What do you want to eat?

M-Matmat is full, Patpat.

No, I'm okay.

Alright.

I'll just eat outside.

Matmat, do you want some batchoy?

Matmat, I'm the writer,

so you should listen to me when I say

they don't have names.

I'm your older brother, so listen to me.

[PATRICK] Okay, I'll go take a shower.

Just message me if you need anything.

Matmat, you have a session later.

I-I'll go see the doctor this afternoon.

I won't forget.

Matmat, happy day?

H-Happy day!

[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]

- Happy day! - Happy day!

Happy day!

It's a happy day if Mia listens.

I-I'm your older brother.

You're my older brother, but you should listen to me

because I'm being very objective here.

They shouldn't have names, Matmat.

T-That's not good.

I've been writing for a long time,

so listen to me.

Yes, I will be there.

Okay, I'll see you.

Okay, bye.

Madeth! Madeth!

Come here, come to me!

The fruit of my labor is finally paying off!

Hey, Boss V!

The fruits of "our" labor are finally paying off!

- I'm part of this, too! - Right, right.

The fruits of our labor.

Because you'll be working.

What kind of work, Boss V?

Mia has a new endorsement!

- Endorsement! - Hey, good news! [CLAPS]

What endorsement?

[VINCENT] A cellphone.

They saw on Mia's post that she's writing a new book,

and they want to be part of it.

- Cellphone? - Mm-hmm.

Boss V, is that with Miss Erica?

Yes, it's her.

- She's the one I talked to. - Oh!

Mm-hmm.

And as early as now, she wants Mia to post

about a day in the life of a writer

using their latest phone.

Hey, I like that, Boss V! [CLAPPING]

When do we start work?

- Today. - Today?

Go to their merchant and pick up the device

so you and Mia can shoot today.

Oh, Miss Erica!

Gemma, is it okay if I go back to Manila first?

I'll just message you.

That's your job.

Go ahead. Take care of it.

Miss Li, I'll book my ticket now, okay?

I won't be able to go with you.

Alright, I'll prepare something for you to bring on the plane.

- Okay, thank you. - Take care, Boss V!

- Do what I told you. - I got this, Boss V!

Ooh!

This is it. This is really it!

Back to work! This is it!

Looks like a special client, huh?

Vincent's really going back to Manila?

Oh yes, Gemma, it's very special.

Because aside from it being Mia's first time

endorsing a cellphone, the client is special, too.

You see, Miss Erica has known Boss V for a long time.

- She's his ex. - His ex?

- Yes, Mother. - Why did they break up?

When?

Ma.

Oh.

I'm just curious, dear.

You know me, as a responsible gossip...

- [UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING] - "Caress of the Shadow"

[OLIVIA] "In every moment,

time will water the hope that at last,

our hearts will finally be together."

It's different when you read poetry

before and now.

It's different if you read it here

or at the mansion.

[TENSE MUSIC STING]

I hope...

you and I could be together at the mansion.

[UNEASY MUSIC RESUMES]

There you go again.

You only come to me when you need something.

You said I can visit when I have nothing to do?

Of course, because your number one and two aren't here.

I know I'm only your number three.

[PATRICK] You're being dramatic again.

Actually...

what if you just help me today?

- Huh? - Look at those two.

You're making me work on my day off?

That's okay.

Come on, same old...

[JASON] Hello, ladies!

[CHUCKLES] Welcome to Jason's Inasal.

What would you like to order today?

Um...

We'll have whatever he orders.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

What's your order, bro?

Just offer them your best seller.

Double chicken breast with heart, ma'am.

- Let me list that down. - Just chicken breast.

I don't order it with heart.

Okay. Then give us chicken breast, please.

[CHUCKLES] Okay. How many orders?

Oh, 1, 2.

Okay. Two orders. [CHUCKLES]

Okay. I'll bring it to you shortly.

Help me out here, man.

[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello!

Are you alone?

Yes, I guess.

[WOMAN 1] You look like a local.

Can you recommend some places we can go to?

We're traveling from San Jose.

It's our first time here in Maravida.

When the cat is away,

the mice will play.

[JASON] Looks like my friend is popular.

You can't touch Patrick like that!

[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

["GISING GISING" BY MISHA DE LEON]

[WOMAN 1] Where do you work?

[PATRICK] At a hospital.

[WOMAN 2] You're a nurse?

I bet you are. You look nice

and caring-- Ow!

He's caring but not to you.

- Mia. Mia. - Excuse me.

Why are you meddling with us? Who do you think you are?

You don't know me?

How refreshing!

Mia, that's enough. - Ma'am.

Your order is ready. Let's go to the other table.

Come on. Let's go.

Why are you making us leave? She's the one making a scene!

- I'll give you some halo-halo. - You don't know who I am?!

I'm your worst-case scenario!

Hey, Mia.

You're letting your emotions control you again.

It's your fault.

Why are you even entertaining them?

Why are you here?

Shouldn't you be writing with Matmat?

He has a therapy session, remember?

So, you're not busy?

Miss Mia! Miss Mia.

Ignore her.

Vincent ordered her to do that for my endorsement.

A day in the life of writer Mia Hernandez.

She's not writing right now.

Is that how you think writers work?

Just sitting in front of a laptop?

- Miss Mia! - Don't follow us!

- Uh... - [JASON] Bye, bro!

[MATMAT] H-Happy day!

Happy day, tree!

H-Happy day, O-OK Hospital!

Happy day, flowers!

Happy day, plants!

- H-Happy day! - Hello, Matmat!

Wait, you seem like you're in a good mood.

What made you happy today?

A lot. The sky,

the plants, and my story with Mia.

- Bye! - Bye!

Happy day!

[EDEN] Matmat! I didn't know you were here.

Happy day, Ma'am Eden.

[CHUCKLES]

Good morning, Matmat.

Happy day, Doc...

Scammer.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

Why didn't you let Madeth tag along?

She knows what to do.

I don't want anyone following us.

It won't come off as natural.

How does this show a day in the life of a writer?

Patrick, oh, Patrick.

Writers don't have to write all the time.

Sometimes we need to do things

that will give us inspiration.

Like...

- this. - [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

And this.

["KATHANG ISIP" INSTRUMENTAL PLAYING]

These are the sources of my inspiration.

Give me that.

Repeat what you just said.

You're going to film me?

Mm-hmm.

Go on. Say it again.

The one about inspiration.

Hmm...

Like what Pablo Picasso said,

"Inspiration exists,

but it has to find you working."

That's not what you said.

[CHUCKLES]

But it's still beautiful.

I was inspired by what you said.

This is for your book, right?

Mm-hmm.

And among all my books,

I really want to publish this one the most.

Why is that?

Because inspired by the three of us. You, Matmat, and me.

Do it because the story is beautiful.

And not because of us.

Our story is beautiful, period.

Mm.

Matmat.

Did you come here

aiming not to make eye contact with me?

I came here for the session.

Patpat said I have a therapy session.

That's why Matmat is here.

Really? Or are you here to collect your payment?

- Mm-hmm. - [CHUCKLES]

Haven't I told you

that I won't pay you

if you won't paint a butterfly in your mural?

Y-You...

don't have

a word of honor,

Doc Scammer.

Matmat,

I'm not scamming you.

I just want to help you

overcome your fear of butterflies.

M-My fear

only gets worse

whenever you force me to paint butterflies.

"Face your fears."

That's a famous saying.

You should do that.

That way, Patrick will stop getting a hard time

because of your fear.

P-Patpat is having...

a hard time? He's having a hard time?

I think he's getting affected.

We don't notice it,

but our fears affect the people around us.

Because they worry about our condition.

Patrick isn't complaining,

but I think he's having a hard time.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Ma'am Olivia!

I saw you accompany Mister Samuel outside.

Did you read him a book?

Just some poems.

You like poems?

I like reading them.

Is it okay if I read him one of Mia's books?

[OLIVIA] We're here to help our patients, right?

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

[EDEN] Poems?

Then it's you.

You're the one giving those letters to Samuel.

Do you know that in other countries,

they see butterflies as a cure?

S-Something that heals?

Yes. Others see them

as a symbol of new hope

or a fresh start.

B-Butterflies can cure illnesses?

Not all butterflies are bad.

There are butterflies that can help you.

Are you telling the truth, Doc?

Or are you just scamming me?

Matmat, if I wanted to scam you,

why would I help you?

We can do this, Matmat.

I'm telling you, one day, you'll be surprised

and there'd be a butterfly in your mural.

That would be your fresh start.

If...

I overcome my fear of butterflies,

I'll have a fresh start?

Fresh start where? Career?

Not only in your career,

but a fresh start in life.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

I have a big heart

that can give love to others.

It's a win for me.

I'm so glad

that you and Matmat are living with me.

Free from pain.

He thought I was Ingrid!

I'm not her!

He wants to kill me!

It's dangerous for Samuel and Mia.

They're the only ones who can put this.

You're scared of butterflies, too?
