Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B (The Woman in 23B / The Manananggal at 23B)

Look, dinner!

Don't drop it again!

Just watch, if you drop it, I'll drop you too.

Quick.

It's right ahead.

Right there, behind the door.

Why'd you put it-

I told you to be careful, that's expensive.

Why can't you get it?

It's so simple!

And you! You too, you're so clumsy

Sorry, ma'am.

Why do you keep dropping it?

It slipped.

Just go upstairs first.

You'll tire yourse-

I'm not tired, I'm asthmatic.

Why can't you-

It's fine, just go ahead. I'll just-

That's right, go first.

Ok Ok, just go.

Alright, there's more downstairs.

Here, let me help.

Wait, let me prop it up.

Where?

Ah, here. Here's fine.

You live here too?

Nico.

Sorry, my hands are dirty.

Jewel.

Kuya, let's put that there.

Ok, I'll go now.

Do I still need to prove myself?

Motherfucker.

Janine.

What else do you want me to do?

Hello?

Janine?

Fuck!

Are you okay?

You? Are you okay?

Yeah.

You don't eat the baby chick?

Nope.

Lemme have it.

What's it taste like?

Hm?

Chicken.

That's...

a bit slimy.

You know, frogs,

also taste like chicken.

Why is that,

everything tastes like chicken?

I bet you that people

also taste like chicken.

Really?

Well, you said...

that we taste like chicken.

I meant maybe. I've obviously never tried it.

I thought you might've.

Wanna try?

One shot?

Let's dance!

No, I'm okay.

Babe. Babe.

What are we doing?

Where?

Let's go out again.

Okay.

Oh, we're here.

Yeah.

What about Jewel?

I'll drive her. It's on the way anyways.

Is that so?

Then, I'll tag along.

It's still early, and I don't have work tommorow.

And I'll have to come back here?

Um. Ok. Just... text me when you get home?

Bye babe.

Night.

You're staying there?

Maybe you want to sit here?

I look like your Uber.

How long have you two been friends?

Are you two close?

Not really.

Amy's like that isn't she?

You know...

She never lets me meet her friends.

especially the pretty ones.

She probably thinks that I'm going to cheat on her.

What's wrong?

It's just a joke.

Relax.

Smile.

Get out.

Are you okay?

Ate, a bowl of beef mami.

Thanks.

You don't want anything?

I don't know what to order.

Try this. Try the beef mami.

Okay.

Ate, One beef mami please.

How long ago did you breakup?

A month ago.

One month?

That's hard.

Super hard.

Even more when you're dumped.

It hurts, no?

Like your heart is going to explode.

So you should just cry and cry because

you don't know what else to do.

Happened to you too?

What did?

Got dumped.

Ah, nope. I just saw it on TV.

Why?

Nothing.

It's cuz I've never had a boyfriend.

Really?

Mhmm.

You're probably picky.

Or maybe... your standards are too high.

I think,

that,

I don't have a boyfriend because no one loves me.

Because I'm a bad person.

Huh?

I don't think so?

I am a bad person.

You just don't know it.

Really? Okay.

What's the worst thing you've done?

Too many to count.

Tell me.

You stole things?

Nope.

Oh wait, I know.

Talked back to your parents.

Wrong again.

Then what?

I've killed people.

Joke! Look at you. It's just a joke.

You almost had me.

There we go.

Have you met my turtle?

What's their name?

Edward.

Edward?

Why Edward?

No reason.

I just liked the name Edward.

Why did you choose Dumbledore?

Janine chose the name.

You know, Edward

he's like my best friend.

You two always hang out?

I talk to him when I'm sad.

We're similar then.

2 bodies were found yesterday at 4am on the intersection of New York and Annapolis street.

A sign saying "I'm a drug pusher, don't follow me" was found on one of the bodies.

The victims were indentified by their relatives, Miko Dominguez and Dominic Baez.

I know it deep down, Christine. You're the one I love.

I love you too, Gabriel.

But we can't be together.

Why not?

You don't know who I am.

There's a lot that you don't know about me.

I don't care.

You know that I'll accept you,

regardless of what you've done.

I love you.

That's all that matters.

We can't just rely on our love!

What are you saying?

I'm a bad person Gabriel.

Let's eat?

You first.

Then tell me who's the better cook.

Me or the lady at the stall.

Yes, ma'am.

Yours.

This tastes better.

I told you.

You'll never be able to go back.

Because my mami is the best.

You know, if you're wondering why,

my grandson's face is so unique-

Lola,

Don't-

No one said that.

Well maybe she's thinking it.

Should I just wait for her to ask?

No need to ask.

I'll just tell you why his face is so different.

It's because his grandfather is German.

Here we go again.
