Hi, babe!

Katmovie18.com

Babe!

Someone might come in.

No one's coming.

They're all in the studio. It's just us left.

I don't wanna be late.

Princess must be waiting for me.

Maybe later, okay?

Odessa.

- I. Men - Maggots

Miss Dela Cruz.

Can I have a word with you?

You shouldn't have bothered coming to class.

I can't just go home, ma'am.

I can still dance.

Your doctor said even if you undergo therapy,

you wouldn't be able to dance ballet anymore.

That's not true, ma'am. I can dance.

There's nothing for you here.

Maybe ballet isn't for you.

You may go.

II. Drama on the Deck

This is your room.

Thank you.

Hello, my child.

- Hello, mom? - I've been calling you.

Sorry I missed your call. I was at rehearsals.

You're always at rehearsals whenever I call.

They're teaching us really challenging steps now, mom.

Poor thing.

Just hang in there not everyone's lucky to get a scholarship like you did.

I'm sorry but I already spent my whole month's stipend.

I'll make it up to you.

Don't worry.

When you graduate and get regular at the ballet company,

you'll be able send more often.

Yes, mom.

Just remember, your siblings and I--

we're all very proud of you.

You'll be first to graduate in the family.

And a ballerina, imagine that.

Okay, mom. All right.

I love you.

I love you, mom.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay. Love you.

How sweet!

Sorry, sorry.

Doray.

- Odessa. - Kits.

Want some?

- Go on. - Get one.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Can I stay here?

Sure. The top bunk's free, too, but there's fine

Are you a student?

I used to be.

Are you from Fatima?

No, I'm from Sicat School of Ballet.

Wow!

It's my first time meeting a ballerina.

A former ballerina, you mean.

Why? What happened?

Injury. ACL.

But you can still walk, right?

I couldn't for months.

So I spent some time away for recovery.

That's not fair.

They're ruthless.

It's nothing like that.

They paid for my treatment anyway.

You've been doing ballet since you were a kid?

Poor you.

What's your plan now?

I should probably look for a job.

Do you know a job I could get into?

She's perfect for Lakeside.

How old are you?

Nineteen.

See? We can take her.

Not everyone gets in, dumbass.

Pretty and sexy doesn't always cut it.

Look at her. She's so shy.

Whatever, I'm sure she's fine.

Besides, Mother Queen said we need new girls.

Let's her try then.

You can come with us later if you want.

All right.

Where?

We're dancers, too.

Not ballet, though.

Hey, Errol. What's up?

Jan! Hi!

The guest last night was crazy.

Really?

The tip was insane!

Hey, come here.

That’s Sonny. Bouncer.

Our all-around bro.

Hello, sir.

That's Cheche. He's our DJ.

- Yo, new recruit? - Hi.

She's our roommate.

Come on. Let's go to the dressing room.

Hey, look at this music.

Where did you buy that?

This is our dressing room.

Hi, girls!

This is our friend… Odessa.

- Hi. - Hi.

Let's look for Mama Queenie.

She's not in. It's just Prince.

Ah, you'd better just watch us outside later.

You can sit there.

If you're not doing anything, you can wait for us.

Okay.

You can do your makeup, too, if you like.

I'll lend you my lipstick, hang on.

Girl, your blush-on will look good on her.

You're right.

Do you know how to?

Just do your make-up while we get dressed up.

Okay.

And that was the ravaging Rochelle!

And now, your 2-in-1 double fantasy, Ichi and Kichi!

I didn't order, mister.

- It's from Boss Prince. - Prince?

That's him. He's the son of the owner.

Let's go!

Next!

You earned all that tonight?

Yep.

Wow, that's a lot.

That's like worth my whole month's stipend.

For sure. Our job isn't easy.

So, Bacsilog?

Damnit, sure. But I'm getting so fat.

Oh, please. You deserve to eat!

- Come on. - That sounds good. Bacsilog!

Wanna come with us, Prince?

I know what you're up to.

You just want me to treat you.

- That's not true. - These girls are stingy, I'm telling you.

By the way, this is Odessa.

Yeah, we met each other earlier.

She wanted to audition but Mama Queenie isn't here.

Well, I’m here so there shouldn't be a problem.

Is that okay?

Sure, sir.

We'll see you at home.

Bye!

Wait, I didn't prepare any music.

That's okay. Leave it to me.

Okay?

You ready?

Okay.

Stop!

Stop!

Okay.

Thank you.

That's it?

You're pretty.

The prettiest face in the club, to be honest.

But I don't think dancing is for you.

It doesn't suit you.

There's other ways you can entertain our customers.

Take your clothes off.

Just try it.

Okay?

Ready?

Are you okay?

It was so embarrassing!

I told you.

I'm sure it wasn't so bad, babe.

At least you tried.

I can't believe he told me I'm not meant to dance?

What does he know about dancing?

Don't listen to him!

But see,

Mama Queenie will like you more if Prince hypes you up.

He might be right, though.

I can just look for an evening job.

So I can still go to my classes in the morning.

You still wanna go to school?

I need to.

So I can look for a job that pays me as much as you're getting paid.

We're not going to dance there forever.

Imagine what my future husband would say.

Please. You don't even have a boyfriend!

So mean!

I'm patiently waiting for sir Prince.

Kidding!

I really thought you'd be a shoo in.

Because you seem like Prince's type.

Looks like he just wants to touch your boobs.

I'm gonna go back

Whoa!

A fighter.

Could you teach me the steps you did earlier?

Which steps?

The..how was it? The one that goes…like that?

Ahh…let me show you. It starts at the knees.

And you pop it!

Or you could do this.

Fierce, right?

Show us.

Sorry, wait.

There-- Bounce! Bounce!

That's it!

Werk!

You can lift your hair like this, too. Yaas!

- Mm, work it! - Give it more flow.

- That's better. - Stick out your bum, sweetie!

Add a some aura.

Like you're trying to seduce him! Yes!

Seduce--

Let me see!

- Yes! - Give it a little more.

A little lower. Lower.

- Lower? - Yes, lower.

That's it!

What else? There was this other step that goes…

Like this?

Is this it?

- Grind your hips. - Move with your whole body.

Including your arms.

Like this?

Go all out.

- I can play with my hair, too, right? - Yes! You should totally do that.

- Like this? - You got it.

You're early!

Hello?

Yeah, I'm in the dressing room. Wait.

Did you see it?

I'm looking for it. I'm looking.

It has a letter D on the heel.

Did you see it?

Ah! Here it is, I found it. I go tit.

Handle it with care, alright?

- Okay, I'll return it later. - Okay.

What are you doing here?

- Where's Doray? - Okay, thank you. Bye.

Thought I'd drop in earlier.

I want to try again.

They're still fixing the stage. You can't use it yet.

I can do it here then.

Hey!

I know what the problem is.

What is it?

Okay.

Your job here, isn't just to dance.

Your job is to seduce through dance.

There's a difference.

You need to…

fabricate a craving.

You can't crave for something you already have.

The men who come here.

Do you know what they want?

It's like this.

They wake up,

they go to work,

they come home to their families,

they sleep,

they wake up, go to work.

That's their routine everyday, over and over.

It's tiring, bores you to death.

Now,

when they look upon a beautiful woman,

a sexy woman…

Dancing in front of them,

they feel rejuvenated.

They get a certain craving. Yes.

Not too much.

Just right.

That's what they call a "mini shock."

Like yesterday.

That's why you came back.

I made you undress.

You weren't expecting it.

That's why you came back.

Mini-shock.

Mini-shock.

- Mini-shock. - Oh, sorry.

Let me help you.

Let me do it.

- Girl, question. - Whar is it?

Is that Sir Prince's new girl?

Maybe.

What about Giselle?

Giselle hasn't even been gone for too long.

I don't know.

I still think Giselle is hotter.

You're right.

Ma.

My bag.

Did you see to the repairs in the dressing room?

Yes, Ma. But actually, we have a leak in the kitchen.

We really need a plumber anyway.

Somebody will come in tomorrow.

Why couldn't they come in today?

We don't want flooding.

I just found out today, Ma. Okay?

Why?

Are you busy?

Are you raising a family?

Everything is a game to you.

By the way, a girl auditioned yesterday.

She's good.

She's pretty.

You might like her.

With girls,

you're faster than lightning.

Who is she?

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the newest girl in town!

Odette!

Sir Prince.

Hello, Madam.

Thank you for letting me audition.

Was that an audition?

You are a pro!

Welcome to Lakeside, hija.

Welcome', ma'am?

You mean I'm in?

Include her in the payroll for tonight.

- Okay, Ma. - Okay.

All right.

Thank you, madam.

Okay, okay.

Leave us.

Okay.

See you.

I want to talk to my girls in person.

You'll rarely get to see me

once you start working here.

My rules are simple.

So we can all get along.

No fighting.

Tell someone in advance if you can't come in or be on time.

It's a not a problem.

You have protection during private dances.

As long sa it's within your working hours in Lakeside.

Sorry, "private dance"?

You've probably seen the VIP rooms inside.

There, you won't dance in front of an audience.

You'll dance for one person for the right price.

Half goes to Lakeside,

half is yours along with tips.

But it's your decision to take on or turn down requests.

If you don't want to, then don't.

If you decide to do it,

you get to tell them what's allowed and what isn't.

If you run into trouble, just call for Sonny.

This is noted.

Why do you even want to work here?

I just really want to dance.

You have a dancer's body.

We are similar.

If this didn't happen to me.

I get it, ma'am.

- We're the same-- I had an accident, too. - You have gorgeous legs.

They will take you to your fortune.

But we are nothing alike.

Sonny.

Sonny.

Yes, girl!

Treat us to breakfast!

Yeah, let's eat somewhere.

Sure, where?

Where can we go? There's the usual fried rice next door.

I'm sick of fried rice.

Let's eat beef stew.

Wait. There.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Just eat. Go ahead, have some more.

You know how dancers are always hungry.

It's fine.

- Go on. - No, it's okay.

I insist.

I'm full.

Go ahead.

It's fine, I'm full.

- What's the matter? - I'm already full.

You don't have to be shy.

I'm good.

You were so good on stage last night.

I was right about you.

What is it?

Is that what you tell every girl at Lakeside?

You know…

I know there are rumours about me.

But ignore those other girls.

They're just jealous because I'll never be interested in them.

But you…

You're different.

You're special to me.

That's why I chose you.

I was saving this for a special occasion.

But okay.

I'll give it to you now.

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

I'm sorry because

you know.. everything happens so fast between us.

I know we have a connection,

No, it's not that.

I guess I just couldn't help but fall for you.

So forgive me if I want you to be mine.

I am yours.

I don't have anyone else.

No, it's not that.

You don't understand.

The guys who get to watch you--

Sure, they can look, but

they can't touch you.

I'm the only one who gets to touch you, okay?

Okay?

Miss, I think you dropped this.

Ah, thank you.

Are you a Psych student, too?

Me, too.

Ben.

Odessa.

Freshman?

So are you excited for the first class?

Same here. I'm nervous, too.

But I'm glad I ran into you.

At least I know someone from our block now.

Why are you nervous?

I don't know.

I guess because I used to dream about going to college.

Now here I am. I'm actually enrolled.

I managed to get a full scholarship but I still need a part-time job.

I hope working won't affect my grades.

It's difficult to get into med school.

We're in the same boat.

My priority is to graduate while working part-time.

You have a part-time job, too?

Wow, that's great!

So med school isn't your dream?

What do you really want to do, then?

- To dance. - What?

- You wanna dance? - Same here. Again.

Back in high school, I was part of a dance group.

I was in charge of the choreography, too.

Ah, sorry.

Am I being annoying?

No, it's okay. It's our first meeting after all.

At least I know someone from class now.

So, see you in class.

Ah, can I get your number?

Here, let me save yours.

Sure thing.

Who were you talking to earlier?

Who was I talking to?

When I came to pick you up.

Ah, that's Ben. He's my classmate.

Met him during enrollment.

I'd better not find out he's hitting on you.

Or maybe you're flirting with him?

What's wrong with you?

We're not flirting and I'm not messing around.

Really?

Yeah.

I knew it.

Give me that.

What the hell, Prince?

You know, those types of guys--

Acting all innocent,

boy next door type, sweet--

That's just in the beginning.

They'll leave you as soon as they find out you're a dancer in a bar.

So go ahead,

accept your classmate's friend request.

I won't be working at the club forever.

Oh, wow.

That's what you girls always say.

But how's that gonna happen without men like me

who accept and support the likes of you?

The likes of us?

You know what I mean, right?

I can save up.

How?

How are you gonna do that?

You're fending for yourself, your family's dependent on you--

Tell me, how?

You're gonna start taking on VIP clients?

You'll bed your customers, is that it?

Huh?

Where'd that come from? I'm not gonna do that.

Besides, I made you a promise.

- Prince. - Ma.

Where are you? Your siblings are waiting for you.

Your father's getting mad.

He's not my father, all right?

What did you say?

Ugh, I'll be right there.

Just waiting for traffic to ease up.

He doesn't want to blow the candle if we're not complete.

Tell me where you really are.

I'm hanging up. Just wait for me, okay?

Bye.

It's my half-brother's birthday.

I need to go.

Do I look okay?

Can we drop by the boarding house so I can change into something more appropriate?

Babe.

You're not coming.

Sorry. I thought…

I'm sorry.

Mom can't know about this yet. You know her, she won't like it.

She might kick you out of the club.

We both don't want that.

Of course.

Don't worry, I'm just waiting for the right time.

While I haven't told her,

could we keep it a secret in the meantime?

Even from Doray and the girls?

It's probably better to tell them once I can afford to make you stop working.

So if it's okay, I'd like for us to keep it a secret.

I mean…

Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

Promise.

Okay?

Okay.

Anyway, I should go.

Just book a ride. You have a key, right?

So lock the door when you leave.

Aren't you coming to work tonight?

No. I'm leaving now.

Just lock the door.

III. A Dead Man Calls Out

Thanks.

Hi!

Making her way back to the lakeside stage…

the beautiful, tantalizing, the star…

Gigi!

It's unbelievable. She just popped out of nowhere.

Like she wasn't gone for two whole weeks, no big deal.

So is it true? Did she get an abortion?

I don't know, but she lost weight.

Wait, so is it true? She hid 'cause she's preggy?

Probably why she and Prince fought last time she was here.

Guess we'll find out.

That's my spot.

Oh, sorry.

Are you the new girl?

Yes. Odessa.

I guess you've heard about me.

Because they've been talking about me.

We can share the table, if you like.

All right.

Sorry, you were doing your make-up.

No, it's fine. I'm almost done anyway.

My charger.

Nice anklet.

Who is Giselle?

Okay.

She's my ex.

She's also a dancer at Lakeside when I met her.

But now, that’s all she is.

Ex.

Do you still love her?

No. I don't. I don't.

Sounds like you do.

Okay.

I loved her.

Like you were in love with ballet before.

But…

you're never going back to it. Am I right?

Now--

You're the only girl for me.

Just you.

You understand me?

Only you.

I promise you that.

You're mine, okay?

Oliver got hospitalized the other day.

We can’t get discharged unless we pay the bill. Can you send money over?

Odessa.

Hey, Odessa.

Hey.

Are you okay?

You look troubled.

It's nothing,

just cash problems.

There's an emergency at home.

I need to send money asap.

Damn, sounds tough.

If I ever run into an emergency,

I might end up dancing in a club.

What do you think?

I can't help you with your mom,

but I can pay for your jeepney ride.

I want to help you even in a small way.

Huh?

That's okay, you don't have to.

Come on, don't be shy! I'll treat you! Let's go!

My boyfriend will come pick me up.

Ah. Okay.

Of course.

Someone as pretty as you would have a boyfriend.

Sorry, I never mentioned it.

Hey, it's my fault I didn't ask.

Anyway, I gotta go. My shift's about to start.

Okay. Take care.

By the way,

there's a street party near Winners where I work.

If you wanna go, just let me know.

Bring your boyfriend.

I'll think about it.

Yes, sir. I'll get you a reservation.

Marquez.

Could you slip me an advance?

It's for an emergency.

I told you, we need to ask for Madam's permission.

All the funds go through her.

Okay, I'll just wait for her.

Yeah.

Odessa, there's a customer asking for you.

Just to sit with them?

Yeah, over there.

Sorry, Sonny. I don't accept hosting right now.

He's very insistent. He's offering to add to the room rate.

Is there a problem?

Is Sonny forcing you?

No, sir. Just relaying the message.

She's not accepting VIPs.

We have an agreement.

Of course sir. I'll just tell them.

I didn't know that she doesn't take VIPs.

Let her decide if she'll accept it or not...

Are you her manager?

Are you gonna take it or not?

I'll take the VIP if the customer wants me.

But you don't take VIPs.

That was before.

All right, then.

Come, I'll introduce you.

Do another dance set instead of flirting with your guest.

Uhm, sir.

This is Giselle.

Giselle, I'll leave him to you.

Have fun, sir.

What do you think I'm doing?

What bullshit are you trying to pull?

Prince, I'm not doing anything wrong.

But you, what the fuck are you doing?

How dare you.

Prince.

Can you back off? Stay out of this.

So you're a thing now?

Does she know?

- Giselle, can you not drag Odessa into this? - Don't touch me!

Please.

Mom.

Do you know how much of a liar Prince is?

Leave Prince alone.

"Leave Prince alone."

You think you're some kind of princess?

You're also a whore!

I'm not like you!

You stupid girl.

Prince doesn't want you. Don't you get it?

Stop forcing yourself on him.

Forcing myself?

You're insane!

You're insane!

- Asshole! - You're the crazy asshole!

Come here! Who are you calling crazy?

Crazy bitch!

That's enough! That's enough!

You're acting like children!

Giselle's such an asshole!

She always has to win.

She really thinks she's the star dancer.

Prince is a bigger asshole.

He hasn't even broken up with Giselle and he's trying to two-time with Odessa.

Huh? Was that what he said?

Why would Giselle be that angry if they're not together?

I should have accepted that private dance.

Even if Prince gets mad at me, at least I'd have had money.

Why don't you try a loaning app?

That's the thing, I don't have enough ID's.

Fine, I'll do it. I'll take out a loan for you.

You'd better pay me, though.

I swear I'll hunt you down.

Of course!

I'll pay you.

Why would I run?

Hey, why don't you start a YouTube account?

Mm-hm.

They pay more than TikTok.

I guess...

I could do ballet tutorials.

At least I can apply what I learned.

- Great idea. - That's right.

People will keep watching video tutorials.

Yeah, and it could go viral.

Just avoid putting out…

scandal videos, right?

Odessa.

What's that?

Package for you.

I didn't order anything.

It's got your name on it.

It's been paid.

What's that?

Those are flowers, girl. Don't be stupid.

Smartass.

- Who sent it? - In your dreams, girl.

Let me see.

Wish I had flowers, too.

It's from Prince.

Are you gonna fall for flowers?

Well, duh! She's soft.

Girl, it's the first time someone sent me flowers. Mind your business.

Whatever. It's your problem.

From tonight till October 31,

we'll be rehearsing for our upcoming Halloween Special.

Odessa! You're late!

- Sorry, ma'am. - I'll let you off this time.

As I was saying,

from tonight till October 31, we'll be rehearsing.

In light of what happened last night,

I've thought about the theme for our show…

Sexy Dance Showdown.

You want to fight.

Let's do it on stage.

Let's do it through dance.

I've already assigned the rivals.

Listen!

Tricia vs. Jewel.

Bestfriends Doray vs. Kits.

Odessa vs. Giselle.

You can start looking for costumes.

Before we open,

I'll give you a run through of our plans.

As usual, walk the runway then comes the dance proper.

I received the flowers.

Thank you.

I loved them.

I want you to know that I really do love you.

And I wanted to apologize for dragging you in that mess.

That's okay.

Can we talk later?

What time are you coming in?

I'm not coming in tonight. I'm attending a high school reunion.

But I'll pick you up.

I'll text you around 12 midnight.

12?

I won't be out yet by then.

I know. But I'll come pick you up.

Bye. Love you.

Good evening, Ms Odette.

Hello, sir.

It's really hard to get a hold of you.

Sir, excuse me.

I'm just talking with her.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'll be over there.

Do you want to table, sir?

No table. VIP.

Sorry, sir.

I really don't do VIP.

10,000?

Sir?

10,000 on top of the room rate.

Just lap dance, no expectation.

Sorry, sir.

I really don't do VIP.

I respect that.

But this is my last offer.

I do hope later.

Just change your mind.

This is for you.

Thank you, sir.

- Hello, mom? - I'm really sorry, honey.

Are you in the middle of rehearsal?

I couldn’t borrow from anybody. They won't release Oliver.

Really sorry, mom.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll send you some money tomorrow.

Thank you, honey. I'm really sorry.

Take care.

If you're desperate for cash,

you'd better take that foreigner's offer.

I can't do that to Prince.

Well, he could help you out with your problems.

Or will he just keep giving you flowers?

Kits, you're doing a set tonight. Giselle's not coming.

Fuck's sake. She's always absent.

Hi. Can we talk?

Even for just a little while.

I'm so sorry.

For all the things that I said.

For what I did.

You hurt me, but I still want you.

Can we start over?

This is my favorite.

When you just got out of the shower.

With that towel around your waist.

When you just get out of the c--

Sorry, I can't help myself.

Giselle.

You need to leave.

You need to get some rest, too.

We can talk some other time.

Please.

Can I use your bathroom first?

You forgot to lock the door?

Prince.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

Fifteen thousand if all the way.

30.

What do you say?

Huh? Come on.

Yes.

IV. Odessa Steps

Girls, let's go. They're waiting for us.

Thanks, honey. I got your deposit.

Routine inspection!

- We are just implementing the law. - Sonny! The girls! The girls!

Get the girls! The girls!

- Does Chief know about this? - Just relax.

Relax. I got this.

We are just doing our job. This won't take long.

Marquez. Take care of Mama.

This is just a city ordinance.

- Sir, what seems to be the problem? - This can't be! This can't be happening!

No! This can't be happening!

- Just relax. - Where's Prince?

Prince! Prince!

We need to go, Mama!

Prince!

Prince!

V. One Against All

Two bottles of water.

Thanks. Here.

Thank you.

Water?

I didn't get an abortion.

I didn't have a sugar daddy either.

I went to audition at a cruise ship.

As cultural dancer.

But I didn't get in.

It's a shame.

But that's the way it is.

I just wanted to try and have a new life.

Let's go.

Maybe we'll find a taxi on the other street.

Katmovie18.com

Ben!

Hi.

Do you want to dance?

Yes. Let's.
