Sleepless

What's that?

That's cool.

How can I make a sale?

It's a bit difficult at first.

First, you have to have a convincing American accent.

How do I do that?

Didn't they teach you that in training?

Instead of saying "Internet," you say, "Innernet."

There you go.

That's right. You're a fast learner.

But I noticed that you don't have a smile in the voice.

Smile in the voice. How do I explain...

Wow.

Like that.

I'll let you in on a secret. I do this when I'm a bit desperate.

Okay.

I'll tell you why I'm a top seller.

But don't tell anyone. It's top-secret.

Do a British accent.

-What happened? -I don't know.

-Dropped call. -It's gone.

IT is on its way. Let's get some coffee. Come on, girl.

Leave that for later.

-Let's smoke. -Sure.

-Come on, let's go. -You guys go ahead.

-Are you sure? You're coming? -Yes.

Barry, come on. Take a break. The system is down.

When IT gets here, the calls will start to come in again.

Let's take a coffee break.

I have a question.

Is this where you take your coffee breaks?

Why? Is it weird?

Not really.

I'm glad I discovered this place.

I come here to de-stress, to escape from angry clients.

They always hang up,

or they scream at you.

There was one who even tried to sue me. Can you imagine?

Sometimes, I think about jumping off this building.

But I won't fall. I'll fly.

-You've got superpowers? -Yeah.

Wait.

So, if you could have any superpower, you would choose flight?

Yes. It's the best.

-Not really. -What would you choose?

Time travel. Why?

That's so corny!

What, you'll go back to Rizal's era, or back when there were still dinosaurs?

Of course not.

-I'll use it to fix my life. -How?

-There are lots of ways to do that. -Do tell.

For example, I could relive my past

and not make the same mistakes.

Then my life would be back on track.

It's also applicable to the work we do here.

Really? How?

Okay, imagine this.

It's 1:00 in the afternoon.

I'm sleepy,

so I take a ten-minute nap.

But then Miss Jenny sees me and she's mad.

I'd just go back ten minutes before Miss Jenny arrived.

Then I'd be able to take a nap, and Miss Jenny won't find out.

Right?

You're right. That is useful.

But there's nothing like flight.

-You really won't change your mind? -It's way more fun to fly.

-Okay, where will you fly to? -Just imagine this view.

-It's stunning, isn't it? -Yeah, but where would you go?

Anywhere I want. That's the beauty of it.

Okay. Okay.

Imagine that view, from so high up.

-I got you a sandwich. -Thank you.

Wait. You made this?

No.

I bought it at a deli. They said they use organic hydroponic vegetables.

Would you like to have dinner first?

I can't, Gem.

I'll make it up to you.

Let's go out next week.

Hey, how are you?

I'm okay. What time is it?

Around 2:00.

You're still up? Aren't you in the day shift these days?

Yeah.

Were you asleep?

Gem?

Hey! What's up?

What are you doing here?

I live in the building across the street.

Really? That one?

I live there too.

How come I've never seen you before?

I just moved in.

So do you know about the rooftop? Do you hang out there?

-Are we allowed to go up there? -Of course.

Well, I'm not really sure, but I go there sometimes.

Why are you still up?

Can't sleep.

You too?

Wait, I have an idea.

You can turn this into a children's storybook.

What is it?

There's going to be a virus outbreak, which will lead to a zombie apocalypse.

That's cute. Really suitable for kids.

Hey, it's a story with a moral.

And what's that?

It's about how you handle yourself in emergencies.

And the emergency just happens to be a zombie apocalypse?

I just realized that if there were a zombie apocalypse,

convenience stores would be the best hiding places.

If you're in a convenience store, you won't run out of supplies.

Even if you're stuck here for a month, you'll be fine.

I don't agree.

What?

What kind of zombies are we talking about?

Are you referring to the zombies from 28 Days Later or The Walking Dead?

Just zombies in general. There's no difference anyway.

-There is. -How?

If you're talking about the zombies from 28 Days Later...

they could probably break through this glass.

And if that's the case, you need be on the move.

You can't stay in one place too long.

You can't stay in one place too long. You have to be on the move.

How would you do that if you're surrounded by zombies?

That's why we need weapons.

A katana for me and an M-16 for you.

That's a really bad plan.

Why do you say that?

Is that how you wanna live?

On the run all the time,

not knowing what's gonna happen to you?

That's just how it is, I guess.

You know, I think the glass is thick enough.

This glass will definitely break, trust me.

No, I'll be safe here.

At least I'd have lots of food.

I think I'll survive a zombie apocalypse.

Is your insomnia caused by work?

Probably. The shift schedule has messed up my internal clock.

I have an idea.

We can just hang out whenever we can't sleep.

We can exchange boring stories until we fall asleep.

It'll be effective for sure.

-Yeah, we can do that. -Yeah?

Sure.

So, do we have a deal?

What does this mean?

The artist says...

According to me...

I don't get it.

You just have to be

open-minded when you see these things.

I don't know. I guess...

I prefer something clear and definite.

Something I know for certain.

You mean, something literal?

Yeah, something like that.

But to each his own, I guess.

-Let me go say hi to the artist, okay? -Okay.

Give me a minute.

What do you think people will say about you on Facebook when you die?

You've seen those posts, right?

Don't you find those posts weird?

I just saw something like that. Here, look at this.

What am I supposed to do here?

Am I supposed to like this?

You should like it.

But if I like this,

then it means I like that baby girl Pia died.

It means I like the situation.

Okay, unlike it, then.

But then it would be weird not to like it.

I mean, she posted this so that people would sympathize with her.

Just give your condolences in the comments section.

I thought of that.

But we're not really close.

We were blockmates in college, but we never really talked.

-You know what? You've got a big problem. -Right?

-It really is. -Huge.

No wonder I can't sleep.

Wow!

Your place is so neat.

I'm embarrassed about my apartment. It looks like it got hit by a tsunami.

I don't have a lot of stuff.

You know what,

you're really good at drawing.

Is that you?

Wow, you look so different.

That's not me.

That's Jason.

Jason?

Jason. My son.

You have a son?

Seriously?

Why didn't you tell me? Where is he?

He's in Canada, with his mom.

So you're married?

Since when?

I'm not married.
