(PREVIOUSLY)

LINDEN: Look around you,

and open your eyes,

So that you'll see the entire truth.

KELLY: But if it's your own family that turned their back on you...

there is nothing as painful.

(Emil teasingly laughing)

BENJO: Do you find me sexy?

EMIL: More...

BENJO: You find this lacking?

(Emil whispering)

(Both giggling)

CHLOE: This is so beautiful...these are surely expensive...

EMIL: They're .... nice...

where did that come from?

CHLOE: From Benjo.

CHLOE: Hello, yes, I just received it.

Yes okay, I will send the payment thru GCash.

Bye, thank you.

BENJO: Yes...

Then why didn't you give me that earlier?

I left the office ages ago and I'm already home.

Yes!

Alright...alright fine... bye!

What's with you?

Why?

I asked, "why?"

EMIL: Haven't you noticed anything?

BENJO: Where are our things?

EMIL: Exactly, why don't you ask Chloe...

She took out all of our stuff off that table to put the bouquet of flowers that YOU sent her!

(Opening Credits)

BENJO: Paul and Ken are coming.

They'll be here to get a check.

I hope,

we can act that we're okay ... at least for now.

EMIL: As long as that mother and daughter tandem is here...I will never be okay.

BENJO: They're not even here. They went to the grocery.

EMIL: Are you numb? You know that's not what I'm trying to say.

(knocking)

BENJO: Hey, Ken...

PAUL: How are you guys?

(overlapping banter)

PAUL: So, how are you both? KEN: Yes, how's everything?

PAUL: It's been too long.

BENJO: Ah.... we're ... we're good.

We're okay...

PAUL: Emil...hey, Emil... are you okay?

How are you?

KEN: Emil, is everything alright?

EMIL: Fine.... we're just fine (sarcastically).

Just like usual, were... FINE.

(Ken laughs self consciously)

PAUL: Have you always been like this?

Your home just keep getting better.

Wait, where's the painting of you both?

KEN: Yes, I've noticed that too.

EMIL (sarcastic): Oh, so, you also both noticed?

Well, Benjo had it removed.

KEN: Huh? Why?

EMIL: You should ask him.

BENJO: Wait, the check.

I'll just get it, okay?

(Paul & Ken whispering)

(Emil sniffs, struggles not to cry)

PAUL: Why? What's wrong?

EMIL: Nothing... absolutely nothing.

PAUL: Then why are you crying?

You have to tell us.

KEN: Hello, we're also a couple and I know there is something wrong.

PAUL: It's as if we're not friends.

So what happened?

PAUL: You should try talking about it.

Everything will turn out okay.

KEN: So what happened?

PAUL: Remember I'm just here, you can always talk to me.

KEN: You both know that Paul and I will always be here for you.

PAUL: C'mon spill.

KEN: You need to talk it out, okay?

PAUL: What are you feeling now?

What's running inside your mind?

KEN: Things will be alright.

PAUL: Are you tired?

Are you fed up with the pain?

KEN: Don't think of us as other people.

Whatever happens.

We'll always be here for you.

PAUL: You're just tired...just cry it out.

KEN: It's okay to get tired, it's okay to be fed up.

PAUL: We will always be here.

KEN: But, never ever give up. Do not let go of Emil.

We know that you both love each other.

Don't let go.

I understand you.

If you made a mistake...then apologize.

Explain.

Things will be alright.

PAUL: Talk to each other. You can get pass this.

BENJO (VO): Months passed...

while Chloe's pregnancy progressed,

we somehow learned to coexist in one house.

I'm very thankful to Emil for his patience...

but I knew even that had to end.

BENJO: You have to remember everything I've been telling you.

CHLOE: Wait, the baby gave a kick, here!

BENJO: Really? You're pulling my leg, it didn't.

CHLOE: I'm not! It was here and our baby is getting more impatient.

BENJO: Let's see, if our baby turns out to be a boy, I think he will be a football player because he seems to like to kick.

CHLOE: But what if she's a girl?

BENJO: Well, if she's a girl, she'll be a beauty queen. Miss Universe.

CHLOE: Why Miss Universe?

BENJO: Well, she will be sashaying like this... pak pak pak pak!

CHLOE: There you go again.

BOTH: Let's think of a name! (giggling)

If she's a girl, (giggling)

BENJO: Let me think about it, well I have this favorite Broadway musical. Let's call her, Christine Daae. But let's take out the Daae, just Christine.

CHLOE: What if he's male?

BENJO: A boy? Hmmm, okay I thought of something; Christian.

CHLOE: Christian... well thought of (giggling)

BENJO: If she's a girl, she's Christine. If he's a boy then he is Christian.

CHLOE: Wait, the baby kicked again.

BENJO: Ahhh...

BENJO: Emil...Why didn't you eat dinner?

I've been calling you numerous times but you never showed up.

You want me to fix something for you and I'll bring it in here?

Emil...Are you mad at me? Why aren't you talking to me?

EMIL: What are we?

BENJO: What kind of question is that?

EMIL: Are we married? Are we friends? Or am I just a boarder here in your house?

BENJO: What???

EMIL: This place suffocates me Benjo.

You're so sweet to the mother of your baby.

And your supposedly mother-in-law has been staying here for so long we can't even act like how we used to.

So, what are we?

BENJO: We're married!

If this is hard for you then this is worst for me.

This is for our family, for you and for my child.

EMIL: Yes, yes you will have a baby. But, where am I in the picture?

Like a bubble, I am suddenly not there anymore.

So Benjo, what about me?

Its so hard... its so hard to keep up with appearances with Chloe and her mother.

BENJO: Beh, if youre having a hard time then I have it worst with Chloe, her mother and now, it seems as if I'm having a hard time understanding you too.

EMIL: What do you want to happen?

BENJO: Nothing! I said, nothing.

EMIL: You want us to break up?

BENJO: I'm not saying for us to break up!

I hope you know that I love you.

I hope you remember that we are together, I hope you remember that I love you.

EMIL: If you really do love me,

alright, tomorrow, you choose...

it's either them or me!

(eerie music playing)

(door opening)

CHLOE: Inang, what's up?

ISKA: Sit down.

What is Emil to Benjo?

CHLOE: Bestfriends!

ISKA: What is the relationship between Emil and Benjo?

CHLOE: I said they're bestfriends, didn't I?

(slap)

ISKA: Liar!

CHLOE: Inang!

ISKA: Liar, I don't have a daughter like you!

I don't hide out in the mountains and fight for the rights of the poor just to have a daughter like you.

Fight equally.

CHLOE: But I love Benjo!

ISKA: He does not love you. Don't put yourself in the middle of two people who are so in love with each other.

(sentimental music soars)

ISKA: I made you coffee...

BENJO: I'm sorry, I take my coffee black without any creamer.

ISKA: Ahhh, look at that. You like black coffee rather then with cream.

And you chose.

And now that you have chosen, learn to stand by the decision.

I'm going home.

The farms in Guimba need my attention...

I can't totally trust the people I left there.

They keep calling and its getting on my nerves.

BENJO: What about Chloe?

ISKA: Chloe? I leave Chloe to both Emil and you. As well as my grandchild.

I know you wont neglect them.

BENJO: Ummmm, can we not stop you?

ISKA: You know, let's not be too emotional about this.

I will go ahead...

BENJO: Inang...

ISKA: Inang? It has a nice ring to my ears, when your being called mother by your in-law. But, I forgot, that cannot happen.

That will never happen.

BENJO: Alright...

Keep safe...

ISKA: I'm going home...

You have to forgive me...

I didn't know.

EMIL: Don't worry...

We'll take care of Chloe and her baby.

Safe travels.

EMIL: So, we all know Commander Iska is not here anymore.

Chloe, if you still want to stay in our home, and you Benjo, if you dont want me to leave...

CHLOE: Huh? Leaving?

EMIL: If you all want to live in harmony here, I just have some conditions.

BENJO: What?

CHLOE: Conditions?

BENJO: What conditions?

EMIL (slams the table): SIT DOWN!

(suspenseful music starts)

(heartbeats)

EMIL: Are you being sulky?

BENJO: No...ummm... no, it's just a little hot in here all of a sudden.

EMIL: Here I am, thinking you were sulking.

BENJO: No, no, no.... I was not sulking at all. The coffee was just hot.

EMIL: Good, now were understanding each other.

(Emil laughing)

CHLOE: Benjo, Im frightened.

Emil, what do you want?

EMIL: You pretentious woman shut your mouth and just listen.

Because I have been too patient with you for far too long.

Do you understand?

BENJO: Emil, what conditions are you talking about?

EMIL: Chloe, you can't sleep in the master's bedroom with Benjo.

You will sleep in the guest room. Am I making myself clear?

CHLOE: Yes, yes...I will never go back to the master's bedroom and stay at the guestroom instead,

EMIL: And we will lock the restroom doors that join the rooms together.

You will use the restroom outside.

CHLOE: Benjo, Benjo...

I'll use the restroom outside? I can't do it...

BENJO: Shut up and let's just follow what he says.

EMIL: And you, you can no longer talk to Chloe without me present...

BENJO: What about her needs... the needs of the baby...

EMIL: Shhhh....

Because I am not that bad, you may talk but without any eye to eye contact!

CHLOE: What?

Talking without eye contact?

How do we do that?

EMIL: Alright, let's practice.

BENJO: Wait, where's my coffee? Where are the chairs?

EMIL: Don't you see its magic?

(Emil's evil laugh)

Okay, since were here. Let's start!

Chloe, if you dare look at my husband...

look at his jaw!

CHLOE: Jaw?

EMIL: Just do as I say, his jaw.

CHLOE: Like this?

EMIL: And Benjo,

CHLOE: What about him?

EMIL: If you talk to this woman here, stare at her ... on her forehead.

BENJO: Forehead?

EMIL: Not in the eyes, but on the forehead.

Just a small mistake and .... forehead! Just like that!

(inaudible chatter)

Now that you are getting what I mean...

look at me first...

let's practice...

When I count to three, you look at each other...

1... dont you dare make a mistake.... 2....3...

Chloe, dont look at my husband in the eye.

CHLOE: Wait... I can't help it...

EMIL: There... just like that...

CHLOE: This is so hard...

EMIL: Yes, that's it...

My husband is so handsome...

You both got it...

CHLOE: We're back here again?

BENJO: I'm really don't know whats happening anymore.

EMIL: Hang on guys... its magic remember?

Now, want to know what's more important?

BENJO: There is more?

EMIL: You! You need to put inside that thick skull of yours that Benjo is mine!

And you are nothing but a meddler here.

Do you get that? You are not a mistress...

You are just someone who is passing by.

A visiting that got pregnant on purpose.

CHLOE: Visitor?

BENJO: Got pregnant?

(Confused Chloe and Benjo)

EMIL: It's good that we got that clear.

Now, sign the Memorandum of Agreement...

Let the signing begin!

SIGN!

(Demented conversation)

Sign all pages...

(Emil in a frenzy...)

(Emil laughing as he asks them to sign)

(Maniacal laugh)

EMIL: It's good that we finally agreed on something.

So that everything will be good.

Really?

Then okay.

Thank you Chloe... thank you Benjo.
