There's still a lot more

By the way Paul your friend Greg...

- from Manila came by - Just eat up!

He has a farewell party tomorrow

I think he's leaving for Japan Lucky boy

Mother...

Mother

Larry is leaving next week

His tour of duty is finished already

Edgar is in sixth grade so he can stop school already

Eli can at least finish his elementary

Why don't you just help Aunt Bening in selling imported goods?

It will be a big help aside from washing clothes

It won't be much! It isn't worth it

What if you try to go back to school?

Even with the help of Larry we' re hard up,

what more if I still try to go to school

You just have to finish high school so you can go to Saudi

Can we talk about this later? I' m sleepy

Don't forget the farewell party of Greg

Ok!

Who else will Greg take after but me!

Right?

When are you leaving for Japan Greg?

Next month

You' re lucky, make it good! Most of them there go to America!

That's just the beginning!

That's why you should work hard so you will always be promoted!

Yes father!

Excuse me, just passing through

What are you doing here! Stay over there!

Some food

Father thinks l' m the head waiter of a classy restaurant in Manila

Why... it is like a restaurant

It just isn't classy

And l' m not a waiter!

But now you' re big time

You' re going to Japan

A gift from my Japanese customer So I can recognize him

It was only a one-time thing because he was leaving the next day

He enjoyed so much...

I made it unforgettable

I kept sending letters...

so I was promised a ticket to follow him!

And you?

How is your American lover?

Larry...

It's a problem, he's leaving next week...

his tour of duty is done

So what's the problem? Just go to Manila!

In Manila there are not only Americans but many nationalities

Like Japanese, Germans,

- ltalians... - Will I make it there?

I' m not sure of the place...

If you can handle Larry you can do it

You will be a hit in Manila

Especially with your looks!

I can go with you before I go to Japan

Father thinks l' m going to Manila for training in a hotel

Sorry I didn't know anyone was in here

Are you Paul?

Yes...

Hi l' m Jim... Larry's friend!

Larry said he told you about me

You've been waiting long?

No... just five minutes

Hey, don't be shy...

I want to be your friend too...

Iike Larry

Mother

I wish you didn't have to leave

Something bad might happen to you

Mother...

Good morning Maring

Don't forget to write me

Take care of your friend ok Greg?

Don't worry I will

Say goodbye to your brother

Don't look for trouble

Don't forget my bag!

- And my robot too! - Also my shoes!

Yes but always be good ok?

Mother...

- We will go now - Bye mother!

Be careful!

I will!

Come in!

It's good you came Mother has been waiting for you!

- Mother is there? - Yes!

- Go - Go inside!

Waiter!

That is the police here

Maybe he got his protection money

Hurry up, that has to be nice That's going to Canada!

If they reject that I will slap it in your faces!

Finally you' re here!

Mr. Chua has been looking for you for a week!

This is Paul

What club did he come from?

It's my first time

First time?

- Where do you hang out? - Nowhere

If I know you might have been in the market

Moonlighting as a callboy!

No! He's fresh from Angeles

He's still a virgin

Virgin!

All who come here claim to be virgins!

Everybody says they start out as virgins

But then...

all the homosexuals has had a taste of you in all the cinemas in Manila

It's easier to find out if a girl is really a virgin...

but with men...

just give them a good shower, dress them up, make them smell good,

they can claim they are virgins!

But then...

they are not only in the Manila circle of callboys

Sometimes they even reach the outskirts of the city and everywhere else!

Let me take a look!

He is handsome but I think he's deaf!

May I see your penis so I know what to tell the customer?

Go ahead and show me!

Hurry up,

don't expect it to jump out on it's own!

I have to see it!

Hurry up!

Pull it down and show me! I can't wait all day!

Pull it down already, hurry up!

There now pull up your shirt!

What is this! Pull your shirt up!

Just relax

I'm used to it! I held thousands of penises already!

The penises of all of them... I've held them all!

I know the color, shape and even the smell of their penises!

So, come on! Let me touch it!

It's so big! From his balls and everything

The king!

Are you good in bed?

I mean is your performance for champions?

What are you good at?

Please don't rush him! I' ll take care of him!

Ok! May I see your teeth? Open your mouth

Open!

It looks ok! Beauty...

Listen now...

when you don't have a customer...

you just help me with my flower arrangements ok!

And don't think little of my flowers!

They are for export abroad!

And this is special because it has a light!

That's why the Americans and many others buy them!

So help me with the flowers The petals and the leaves!

And I will teach you how to put the light!

That's extra income for you when you don't have a customer!

Go now Greg!

I will follow!

- Thank you Mother! - Be good!

- I will! - I don't like troublemakers;

I will kick you out!

- I understand - Let's go

- Goodbye - Go now

He's so big!

What's this?

What is this? A fight?

What's this about...

stop right now!

You! You want some?

Why this trouble during the show!

You' re so noisy!

You? Get out! Out!

You want to fight? You want some?

Get out!

So much trouble!

There's a show going on outside!

You...

why do you keep coming back here? You know those two don't like you!

My customer brought me here

Really?

I don't want trouble!

I' ll get in a mess too!

All you do is fight you fools!

Fighting for nothing!

Here

Thanks

- l' m Noel - Paul

- How long have you been here? - Just tonight

- Who brought you here? - Greg

I know Greg

Nothing good will happen for you here

You' re better off with mama Charlie

It's more decent and clean

Greg knows where I live

You' re ok!

Thanks again!

You hard headed son of a bitch!

Why are you like that?

When will you change?

We have no more water!

Noel!

Who is it?

- It's Greg! - Just a minute!

Hi!

Please come in

Come here Paul

You' re so early

I just brought Paul here

I' m in a hurry I have a Japanese customer waiting

You' re really something!

You like Japanese a lot!

They' re generous!

I' ll leave Paul with you, ok?

Don't worry l' ll take care of him!

Just call me if anything

Ok

If you need anything just come to my house

You have my address ok!

Alright

- Take care - Paul!

See you later

Sit down

Put your bag there

Just relax

Isn't it funny?

A call boy dresses like he lives in a nice condominium

But this is the reality!

It isn't so bad

This was a motel once

The owners wanted to take the place down and build a new building

It's been two years and still nothing...

Maybe he has no money

It's good for us we have a place to sleep

And we have no boarders to share it with!

Just for 400 pesos!

Those girls outside,

they are waitresses of the restaurant downstairs

The others I don't know but nobody cares

They are a bit noisy but... you' ll get used to it!

Come and look

You can see the street

And also all those who use the overpass

Come over here

It's even better here

When there's a rally you have then best view

Someone used to stay with me here...

but I sent him away! He had rowdy friends!

Many want to share this place with me but it's hard

But when I saw you last night... you look ok

I think we' ll get along fine

- Do you have a family? - You?

Yes... but they are in Angeles

It's just my mother and us four children

My father died when I was small

My mother died when I was 13

So I tried my luck here in Manila

Is that what you' re going to wear?

This is all I brought

How will you be noticed?

I' ll lend you clothes!

You need a bit of class and style!

How did you get into this kind of work?

I started... I had nowhere to go then

I slept in parks

A guy befriended me...

I think he was a guy

Randy was around 28 then

He invited me to eat... so I accepted

From then on I erased my pride

So what happened between you and Randy?

Nothing, I didn't see him after that!

In this line of work good guys finish last...

- even your libido is finished! - You worked in this bar?

Not yet

I was wandering the streets

I was going with every guy

I think I've slept with all kinds of faces!

They made me do different things, I did them all

This job is very deceiving

Money comes in so fast...

it disappears as fast too

You may be the hot item now...

then tomorrow you are nothing!

You have to be wise here!

Don't be used without something in return!

Don't you get tired of it?

It's work! Besides what else can I do?

Good...

Very good!

Ok

I don't want any trouble ok!

And no drugs

I don't want my customers to complain

If they want you to do something and you don't want to...

say it in a nice way

I want you to respect our customers

Clear?

Yes

You take care of him Noel

Thank you mama Charlie!

Are you ok?

There's a new guy

By the way...

- this is Ronnie... And Jun - Hi!

I' m glad there's a new guy here!

I' m fed up with that clown!

No wonder you miss me when l' m not here!

Be careful with him He will even borrow your brief!

Just kidding!

By the way this is Paul Our new friend!

This is Rosco, Rene, Rey and...

Dennis meet Paul the new guy

The goon here, but no money borrowing ok?

That jerk is a drug pusher... a pusher!

Bastard!

Where's your friend Noel?

Here's Paul!

Mr. Illustre wants you!

You' re ok!

You' re lucky! You were chosen

Oh no! He was chosen because he's new!

Whenever a new one comes... he drools!

You' re just old news now!

I don't think so!

You are still dressed?

If you want I can do it?

It's ok sir, I can do it

What's wrong?

I' m sorry sir...

What is it?

I' m sorry...

you' re my first customer

You mean...

it's your first time to be entered?

What? What do you mean by enter?

You are here to entertain customers

Yes

You are new...

I' m so lucky

It's just work Paul!

That's still 20 pesos for macho dancing,

dancing wet, even the shower!

You can't do anything

If mama Charlie chooses you... that's it!

Thank heavens no one has died of Pneumonia yet

But be careful with Dennis, he's too daring

He's into everything,

from pimping to drug pushing

Especially when he met Kid...

I think they had a relationship

Dennis?

Maybe!

He never admitted anything

The police?

Why are you surprised?

Anything is possible here in Manila!

Just like the two families of Kid and his many children!

All girls I think!

Is it hard to be a macho dancer Noel?

Ok do a 45!

Make it sexy! Come on sexier! Go!

Don't move your back!

More! Sexier! Good!

Let's do it together now!

Move! Look! Turn it! 45!

Cut it from here! Go! Sexier!

With the music, ready!

Ok go!

Grind it... turn!

Down!

Up! More!

You' re practicing early!

So how many counts for this?

This move

Let me see One more time

Four

Noel!

- Yes! - That's good!

Train Paul well so he can join the big night!

So your group can have a new face!

Ok

So Paul... Do your best, ok?

I will

Greg, Jun, Rolly! Look!

Hurry read this!

Two macho dancers murdered!

That's what you get for being out of line!

You die!

Weren't they the troublemakers?

That's right!

Dennis... its Kid

Brushing his teeth?

Yes! That's very important!

Your breath should smell like a baby!

That is your instrument in this job

The problem is all you read is comics

You just read an old magazine in the toilet...

and you' re acting as if you know everything!

Stupid! Dennis is right!

The problem is you don't know what personal hygiene is!

You should always be fresh

Even if you've been entered five times...

with your sixth customer you still smell good!

How do you do that?

Take a shower...

before and after you are entered

So if you had four customers in a day...

you should have showered eight times!

- Four customers? - Is that possible?

Why not?

Noel can have eight customers a day!

He looks thin but he's the record holder of mama Charlie!

Shut up!

What's important is you control your ejaculation!

Some customers don't mind if you don't ejaculate!

How long have you been here?

Hey friend! Can I have 20?

I' ll just take her home

She's getting in my way!

Look Cynthia is flying!

Be careful Cynthia, many planes are crashing!

You might get crushed!

I' m used to flying!

Besides it's not a plane... it's a rocket ship!

- Now that's fast! That's far! - The target is the moon!

- Just 20! - Dennis give me 20!

You' re the one with lot's of money

Here!

Thanks!

- Let's go! - Thanks a lot!

What is it? I' ll take you!

Ouch! You tease!

Hi handsome!

Can you give me 50? Please...

Well!

Come on! With service guaranteed ok!

- Please just for my taxi - Let's go...

- Cynthia, don't - Come on...

I' m sorry... she's wasted Let's go!

What are you doing?

You should know better

I knew you couldn't handle it!

Let's go!

Why do you go with them they have no class

The pauper speaks

- Bambi is upsetting me! - Do you have any ecstasy Bambi?

Go ask Dennis!

Dennis only gives his customers!

And he won't give me credit!

- Listen! - No!

What do you think of me a loan shark!

You act like you' re still fresh and tight!

That's none of your business!

What if I had the money?

That's a different story...

it's free if I like the person

You' re new right?

I' m Bambi

Pretty, smart and expensive!

But if I like you it's free

A new one?

Yes very new!

I thought so

I' m Paul by the way... friend of Noel

He's very courteous

Come let's eat!

That customer made me hungry!

We' re not hungry, we just ate boiled eggs

And you?

You never know Noel you might just see your sister!

There are many from your province there!

He's so slow!

If I were to lose a sister...

I would know where to find her!

- Am I right? - Bambi is right!

We've looked everywhere

In the whore house of mama Susan...

with Putol...

and with Beho in Sta. Cruz

They are the specialists with girls

Noel!

Why did you leave?

She is my only 17 year old sister

I entrusted her with my aunt before I left Misamis for Manila

I just found out she was missing last month...

I immediately went home to look for her

But I left for Manila soon after because I couldn't stand my cousins

Nobody knows where she is

She is my only family now

I've been saving up for her

I wanted to save enough to take her here

Then we would live together

And I will put her through school...

she's really smart

Don't worry, l' ll help you find her

It's my fault

I shouldn't have left her with my aunt

I should have taken her with me

If only...

I' ll be honest with you,

if she's pretty and fresh from the province,

then being gone for months...

maybe it's best you forget about her

Maybe she doesn't want to be found?

And if you do find her you might not like what you will find!

What do you mean?

Do I have to explain it to you?

I don't understand

Listen...

Why don't you take your friend out for a while?

Something bad might happen to him!

I' m sorry, chief

- Go! - Ok

There's a big whorehouse in Legarda...

That's where all the young boy and girl recruits are brought

From the provinces

She might be there!

But... be careful

One of my call boys went to that place

When he was seen again he was in a hotel...

his anus bloodied,

strangled with a wire with injection marks in his arm!

Why?

I don't know!

Maybe he had sex with one of the girls there

Maybe he had a fight?

It sounds dangerous

Anywhere we go there's danger

If you want I can go with you

They are all new

Some of them are still virgins

If you want young boys,

over there they are very fresh!

Is there more?

That's it Others are already booked

Any news mommy?

Not yet Noel...

But I heard a new whore house opened at Remedios!

But it's only for tourists

The dollars are overflowing there!

Especially from the Arabs!

I never heard of any new hostesses there

I doubt the person you are looking for is there what do you expect?

The owner was away for three months in the States...

so no one is managing the place!

We've checked almost all the whore houses here

Aren't you happy you haven't found her?

That means she's not in a whore house right?

My problem is where to get the drugs!

Just offer it to your customers, and get their orders

That is if... if you want to

It's not that I want to but I have to!

Just remember Noel,

if you don't know the customer be very careful... don't risk it!

What about me?

- What will l...? - When you give me the money...

I will take care of you!

Son of a bitch!

I thought we were good friends,

we rub our balls together every night and still you don't trust me!

What are we going to do now?

Have you found his sister?

We just went to two places last night

Maybe we will look again tomorrow

I got some addresses

Give it to him it might help

Why don't you do it!

That's right! Give it to me

Hey, Noel!

Get out!

I got some addresses you might find your sister there

Check them out

Thank you Bambi

Don't mention it!

Where are you going?

I' m not cheap l' m going to Bocobo!

Bocobo?

Don't you know there's a lot there now?

- Bye! - Thank you again

Ok! But Paul...

Be careful...

I think she likes you Paul! She looks at you different

Here's a bonus for you because you are nice to me

And this is for you...

because you are not only kind but also very good

Wait! We' re done already

You' re like a taxi with a meter...

Then pay up again

You' re too much... never mind

Just keep supplying me so I will always be in heaven.

I always want to be in heaven...

It's up to you

As long as it's always like this

It's always about the money!

Don't you have any feelings?

This is it?

I' m sorry but that's the best I can do

Any more and I will have to pay for it

But don't worry...

Just go by volume

You have many customers anyway

That's just a taste!

By the way we can get shabu from... next week

We will make more money there

Bye!

See you

How much?

This is all...

It isn't much

It's better than nothing

We can still use it for going around later

Dennis was right, I just go by volume

You were looking for us?

Dennis is sick so Paul you will replace him in the shower later

What? But I don't know the shower

Don't worry Noel can teach you

But...

Don't be hard headed!

Teach him how Noel!

- I will take care of it - l' ll leave it to you!

If you use that sugar for your coffee you will grow wings!

And you will go straight to heaven!

Is this yours?

No! That's the stuff of Dennis!

That's the order of my customer last night

But they didn't show

That's a lot!

I was going to return it to Dennis...

but I think he's with a customer

But it's ok it will be picked up tonight

Isn't that dangerous?

But the money is good

And only till I find Pining

I' m just worried

I was planning not to pay Dennis and use the money first

We will go out tomorrow it's expensive

It's not a problem...

Dennis is an understanding friend

It's dangerous because l' m not the only one involved

It's as if you don't know me Dennis!

Just till the end of the month

If it were up to me Noel it's no problem but...

I really need it...

you know my problem right?

I know that's why l' m helping you

But this is dangerous

Even I will get in trouble

In this business cash is good!

But it's too late... I spent the money of the last sale!

Paul and I went to many places

I' m telling you I won't win here!

Even if I wanted to I can't

This is trouble

I' m not scamming you Dennis!

I know. But they don't!

What's with you two!

It's show time!

Start moving mama Charlie is getting angry!

Let's go!

What Dennis?

I' ll be in trouble! This is so bad

You! Come here!

Come here!

What is it?

Are you Noel?

The friend of Dennis?

I' m a friend of Dennis but l' m not Noel

He has another engagement

He said he had to meet someone here so he sent me instead

You are his roommate?

Why?

Your friend is shit

He deals with us but then he doesn't pay up!

That's not true! Noel always pays up

Even ask Dennis!

Now he doesn't even show

That's bad! Really bad

Especially for a macho dancer... for a callboy!

Do we have an understanding?

Well? Do you understand?

Yes

Good!

Make sure Noel gets the message!

Paul!

Help me! Help me!

It's hot ok?

Paul...

Is it your first time with a girl?

I thought so

You were ok

Ok you were great

I said I love you

Stupid!

You're not thinking straight from the beating

Bambi I love you

You and Noel are crazy fooling around with Kid

We didn't want to make trouble

I thought Noel was only dealing with Dennis

I didn't know he was also involved with drugs

Kid is not involved in only one thing in his territory...

and that's all the legal businesses, he doesn't care about them

How could he beat me up in front of many people?

He did that on purpose so you will see...

and for everyone to see how powerful he is!

So you have to be careful

Let me sleep

I' m still sleepy

Just one more

You want again?

It was fantastic

Aren't you still hurting?

I can manage

Imagine for just 100 pesos... and with bad breath!

What did you do?

- What is it? - You bastard!

You traitor! You let Paul get beaten!

I don't know anything about that!

All kid told me was to meet at Remedios that's all!

- Liar! Who are you fooling? - Enough!

I didn't know Kid was going to do that!

- Noel! - Keep out of this!

How couldn't you know Kid would do that?

You traitor!

I really didn't know!

I'm telling you the truth!

I don't believe you! Liar!

That's enough!

- Stop it! There's someone! - Enough!

Stop this!

What is this?

Why are you fighting?

What's the problem?

Nothing

- Nothing? - We're just playing

Playing? That's blood!

Didn't I tell you I don't want trouble here!

Do you want to be fired?

Sorry mama Charlie

Sorry?

I don't want this to happen again!

Understand!

Yes

If this happens again... you bastards!

It's hard to find a job nowadays! Remember!

You don't need make up You' re pretty already

Kiss ass!

No... You' re really beautiful!

It's just your first time so you think you' re in love with me

I don't have instant coffee just brewed

I made you one.

And I didn't put any sugar to really wake you up!

And I don't have bread since I don't eat breakfast

Come over here it's still early

It's late already and I have an appointment...

- at ten! - You have business so early?

It's a different business

I' m dealing with the Police

But not Kid

Someone close to the Mayor

What business is that?

I don't know yet!

- So what's on your mind? - l' ll tell you after... it's bad luck

It's something I can manage and know well

And lock the door before you go

Say hi to Noel for me ok?

- Wait! - Just a minute!

Bambi I love you

You' re crazy!

I have to go I have to be there by ten!

My appointment!

I heard some news so I came here fast!

There's a new place in Raon...

with new girls coming in!

So what?

Province girls!

They are from Cotabato, Zamboanga and Misamis

Misamis! That's where you' re from!

It's wrong to Iove you

But why does it feel so good

Why is it Iike this? My foolish heart

Falls so easily

You want some girls?

Yes! How much?

100!

100?

- Can we take a look? - Sure!

I heard there are many new ones

Yes, all of our girls here are new!

But we' re full Let's check the other side

Come

This one is only 15

Barely a month here You like her?

This one is a champion in bed!

Is she your type?

Still no?

What's happening here?

She's sick sir

- Sick? - Yes

Really?

Maybe you're just lazy!

No sir!

This one's sick

How about this one?

Go back to your room!

Yes sir

How was it?

- She was good! - A champion?

Yes!

This one is big in all the right places!

Face them

Hi!

Sorry...

You' re very choosy

Because it's expensive boss

If you want cheap girls go somewhere else

Try Ongpin!

But the girls are second rate

This one... Surely you will like her

She's pretty and very new

But she's hard headed and bitchy!

Show them your face!

Show them your pretty face

You have a customer!

How can you get a customer if you' re like that!

She's the favorite of the Police who is on our payroll

Noel...

- Is there a problem? - No

So you will get some girls?

We will just come back

My friend is not feeling well

We almost got busted

We have to think what to do next

It's dangerous!

Noel!

Buddy...

Fuck them all!

You have customers!

I' ll leave you now

If you have a problem just call me

Pining

My brother...

It's ok now

What happened to you?

Why are you here?

Calm down

We are leaving right now

It's not that easy...

they watch me day and night here

Even when we go to church there's a guard

We can't even go out with customers

They will let you out only after a few years here...

after you' re ruined

How did you get here?

I left our aunt because I couldn't stand what she's doing

I came here looking for you...

but I didn't know where

I slept in a park when a girl came up to me

I was so hungry but... I had no money

She offered to feed me

But the food was drugged...

and she took me to an apartment and there...

That's where they bring all the new girls from the provinces

They call it the de-virgined

Then many men used me

Then...

I can't remember how many nights I cried

Then they took me here...

they told me if I tried to escape they would kill me

I can't leave this place

Don't worry we' ll find a way

You'd better go now

They don't like customers staying long

And don't come back here...

if they find out they might punish me!

Don't worry I will find a way

I' m very sorry for what happened

But I can't do anything

You know I'm just one of Kid's bag men

You never asked but with the beating incident

Kid beat me up too Paul!

So what now?

What I mean to tell you is...

The delicious food... fried chicken and beer for nothing?

Just to show you how embarrassed I am for what happened and...

Stop playing...

I' ll be straight with you...

I know you need big money

I have a Japanese customer who wants to make a movie

He said many Japanese like these kinds of videos...

for the gay men

Where? How?

In a hotel or motel.

It's safe and protected

How much?

3,000 pesos

Each?

For both of you!

Why don't you do it? Why us?

It's not my type...

and I can earn that money in my other sidelines!

So I thought of you two

It's also like...

my payback to you for what happened

- This is not enough! - What?

This is only 1,500 pesos!

That's how much I was told to give to you

Our agreement was for 3,000!

- Come over here! - What is it?

Why is this only 1,500? We agreed on 3,000 pesos!

The agreement is 3,000.

Your agent took half of the money

He said as an advance for you two!

What agent?

Dennis! You don't know Dennis?

Let's go! We' re fully paid!

Shit! Dennis tricked us again

Why will I trick you?

I won't do that!

Believe it or not I just made a few bucks out of it!

Most went to Kid!

It's always Kid!

You' re telling me Kid had a cut in this?

We' re in the same line of work so don't pull my leg!

As if you didn't know? That's illegal!

Kid is in everything illegal

He's not only protecting mama Charlie, but all the clubs and whore houses!

Everything that's illegal here he controls!

If you don't believe me. Why not ask Kid yourself!

I' m already ashamed with you two How could I do that?

What luck Now that its Christmas time...

What happened?

There was a raid

It's a good thing it was over when we came!

They took mama Charlie

She' ll be out later

Raid?

Well it's Christmas time!

Of course the Police do their fund raising this season

Rudolf the raid nosed reindeer!

Everybody's raiding now!

It's Christmas time!

What will you do now?

Many things!

We can do part time in another bar right?

You want to come with us? Let's go!

We have somewhere else to go Bye!

Here we are flat broke! See you!

Take care!

Be careful Noel. You might blame me again

That's good!

Some more!

Come here Jun!

- There he is! - Come here!

Do it! Go on! Do it!

- It's driving me crazy! - Put some money!

There!

- Put some money now! - 5 pesos!

- Ok! - Cheap!

- Again! - He's too cheap!

- You' re so stingy! - Show us how it's done!

More!

You want this?

It looks like you' re having a good time

Drink Paul!

You' re drunk stupid!

Wait! Say it again!

Filthy rich!

- Wait! - I can't say it right!

Ma...

- Ma... - Ya...

- Ya... - Ya...

- Ya... - man!

- man! - Filthy rich!

Filthy rich!

Quiet!

There are other people trying to sleep here!

He's so high!

Soon and it's Christmas!

And it's...

And it' s...

You' re drunk!

He's drunk!

And it's...

It's too hard to be a pilot!

It's better to just be high!

That's nothing!

Try this one!

Here

Take it!

That's the devil's pill!

You'll be an astronaut with that!

Better than that shit you' re taking!

Mananggete!

Noel!

What are you doing?

Leave me alone!

Let him be. He thinks he can't get hurt

That he's Superman!

He said he can't feel anything...

so he wants to check...

if he's still alive

Are you still alive man?

He's still smoking! He must be alive!

- Happy birthday to me... - Dennis!

Don't interfere! I will shoot you!

Happy birthday!

It's too easy with just one bullet... how about two?

Give me that!

Give that back!

That's my gun!

Give that back!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday...

happy birthday to me!

Wait! Who is it?

It's Bambi!

Come in!

What happened here?

We were drinking last night

Is this blood?

It's nothing! Rolly was just drunk last night

What is that?

Nothing

My American customer was rough with me

Just a little make-up will fix it

Is he awake?

Why?

I have a tip from my new Police connection

The girls at Raon may be moved

- They might raid the place - Raid?

Raiding every place

It's almost Christmas.

The Police have many gifts to buy

They have many families

Wake him up already!

Noel!

- What! - Noel!

Bambi is here with news about Pining!

What is it Bambi?

I got a tip that the girls at Raon will be moved

Where to?

I don't know

But if I were you I'd do something now

We have to get Pining!

Something worse might happen to her

I will borrow the gun of Dennis!

Isn't that dangerous?

What can we do? We need protection

I' ll be right back! Goodbye!

I' ll wait for you here!

Be careful always

It's part of my job

Why don't you stop?

- With my work? - Yes

Who will feed me?

Me!

Moron!

Come with me and let's get married

What will your mother say?

Her son is a whore and so is her daughter-in-law?

Don't talk like that

But it's true!

Maybe you don't charge

But for me no money no action!

I' m not kidding!

Once we get Pining... I' m going home

Hopefully with you

Even Noel is going home with Pining

Are you still high?

You think it's that easy?

Go home to your place... you' ll have no problems

Bambi...

I've been a prostitute since I was 1 2

I' m a pioneer in Ermita!

Can you change what Ermita is?

My father was my first customer

He used to beat me when I was small

Then he rapes me

Don't move you bitch! Take off your panty!

Don't make a sound!

He used to bribe me so I won't tell my mother

He's too stingy to even pay for a cheap whore!

I couldn't do anything

Since then I've been alone

No one will tell me what to do anymore!

I am in control!

I will say how much I am!

I choose my own customer!

Why are you so hard?

If I wasn't I'd be broken by now!

Well... I am half broken already

But not all of me...

Isn't it cute?

Good luck with your plans

I' m also starting a plan of my own

What's this? What about us?

You don't know?

I' m a whore and you' re a macho dancer!

You' re good at your work! I' m good at mine!

Why? Have you seen me perform?

Have you seen me?

Brother! No!

Brother!

Who is it?

It's Paul

What happened?

She's been crying and sleeping ever since you brought her here

She keeps looking for her brother Noel

She's in shock

It's better this way so she won't get worse

since Noel was just buried

You' re leaving? I thought...

I still have things to do

I' ll leave her with you but I will come back for her

Don't worry she's safe here

Do you have money?

It's ok, thank you

Just pass for me tomorrow

- Around 10 am - Ok

See you then

Kid

Noel saved this for you

Don't forget to give the letter to your aunt

It's ok now

Everything will be alright

Thank you

Thank you

Write me

Thanks to you both

What a loss...

if only...

Your life is not over...

everything has a purpose...

all for a reason

Sometimes it's just not clear

If your American boyfriend didn't leave you...

You wouldn't have come here

Then we wouldn't have met

If we didn't meet...

So if we didn't meet?

Then nothing! So we' re strangers

Maybe you would be with someone else

Someone else beside you

I love you Bambi...

come with me

You fool!

Just get out of here!

I might just get emotional...

and spoil my style

Bambi...

Go on!

I told you I have many plans

I' m going to put up a whorehouse

Bam...

Just go!

How many times do I have to tell you to go?

What?

I said leave!

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Hijos!

Merry Christmas Mama Charlie!

This isn't mama Charlie's anymore! It's Hijos bar now! Get it?

I get it

They changed the name so they could open it again

And they can't close this down

The relative of the owner is a Colonel!

That raid was just for show!

They call it a bar raid

They pretend to jail them but the bail is already there

That's why mama Charlie knows she's safe

How are you? Are you still performing?

By the way we have new guys now

New guys for the new name of the place

Did you hear the news?

Kid was shot dead

By the way there was a new dancer here looking for you the other day...

he said he knows you

There he is! Greg!

It's Greg

Paul!

- Hi - How are you?

We' ll just wait for you inside

- See you later inside ok? - l' ll be going too

That's the new Police on the payroll of this place

From precinct 8, I think

Bye

Goodbye

What are you doing here?

- I thought you were in Japan? - It didn't push through

The ticket he promised never came

I waited for nothing

How are you doing?

I' m going back home

This is my last performance

For Noel

What?

Nothing
