Never Not Love You

This is my stop.

Excuse me, who's Gio?

Gio?

Gio!

Please wait a bit.

- How long will it still take? - Wait.

Gio.

Your chick is waiting for you.

Great.

The Gio who had a deadline for stickers yesterday

but couldn't deliver?

Hello!

You loser! Man up! What now?

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Plus one free pack for being a hassle.

That's 2,800 for everything.

2,800? Steep! A pack of stickers goes for P280?

- Good art ain't cheap. - It's good art, but it's late.

Can we try P1,500?

- Someone met his match. - What's this?

But check out the stickers, they're good.

Aren't they worth the wait?

What's the grass for if the horse is already dead?

- What? - Nothing.

Hot but deaf.

- Bye. - Wait.

I heard that. I heard that.

- Don't believe him. He's a playboy. - You messed it up.

Give it a rest, Gio. Not here. I'm busy.

Lay off.

Bugger.

See? He's going to follow her.

Hey! You okay?

I'm good.

Do you want a tattoo?

I know these people.

I can get you a 30 percent discount.

I don't like tattoos.

Fifty percent off.

And one more free sticker pack.

Free of charge.

- Is that how you do it? - Do what?

Do you always give a discount and free stickers

to every girl who comes here?

Is that how you do it?

I'm not like that.

Me neither.

I look like a country girl but you cannot fool me.

I am from Zambales but I'm not like that.

So don't try that on me, like you do with the other girls. Okay?

Keep in line.

Excuse me, can I borrow your lighter?

Oh, yeah.

Do you work at the Squid Ink?

I'm friends with Jason, the owner.

I might come back next week, will you be there?

- Maybe. - Maybe you can help me get a discount?

Oh, sure, 10 percent. Is that okay?

- Sounds good. - It's 10 percent.

Sure.

- Yes, Ms. Bing. - Are you doing anything tonight?

- No, Ms. Bing, I just... - Maybe next time.

- I told the others to pick up the slack. - I'm with her.

I'm on my way home. Yes, ma'am.

Ten minutes, best effort.

Yes, Ms. Bing. I'm sorry.

Okay, ma'am. I'm going back.

Do taxis come by here?

Rarely.

But I can give you a ride.

I can't do it in 10 minutes, but we can try 15.

Up to you.

Your boss sounds like a bitch.

Okay, fine, fine.

- Wait here. - Ten minutes. Okay, 15, 15 minutes.

Yes, Ms. Bing. Yes, ma'am.

We're riding that?

With just one helmet? Is that legal?

Trust me. Let's go.

If only there were taxis, I wouldn't dare.

Drive slowly.

Hey, slow down a bit. Slow down!

Drop me off now, please!

I think we made it in 10 minutes.

Don't I get a kiss for that?

Crazy!

- Thank you. - Just thank you?

Loon!

You're welcome.

Will wait for you!

Suit yourself.

Ms. Bing?

Should I take you?

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay!

So, what did your boss say?

You know, you deserve a promotion for that!

Demand a promotion!

Demand a promotion just like that? That was just part of the job!

It was normal!

No, that ain't right!

If I were you, I won't go back to the office!

If the job is from 9:00 to 5:00, by 5:01, I'm out, bitch.

I get my peace and quiet.

There's no such thing as peace and quiet for bottom feeders, sir!

- Just drop me off here. - You sure?

- Yes. - Where exactly do you live?

Over there. I can make it myself.

Thank you.

I can take you to your house, you know.

I know. But I'm playing it safe

because you might turn out to be a stalker.

I'm stalker material?

I know you're used to dropping off your chicks at their doorstep.

But I'm not one of your chicks, okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

I don't take them home.

They can do their thing after.

So this, this is not normal for me.

Consider yourself lucky.

Wow, so I'm the lucky one.

To be fair, you make a clean job of it. But that won't work on me.

- So better luck next time. - Really now?

My charms don't work on you.

You must've charmed yourself too much.

I mean, you're good-looking but don't make a fuss.

I'll give your stickers to Mischa later.

Don't turn them in late next time.

It would be a waste for you to lose clients.

- With your talent... - Yes, ma'am. Thanks, ma'am.

Ma'am...?

Gio.

Joanne.

- Joanne. - Bye.

Bye. Thank you!

And this isn't my game.

You're not my chick.

Joanne, go to sleep already.

(He's still going for the play, everyone! Haha.)

Joanne...

- A little too early, Joanne. - I'm actually running late.

Taxi! Taxi, sir!

You said 7:30. You're running late.

I didn't tell you to fetch me!

- You didn't? - I didn't.

It's 7:35. You're super late. Let's go.

I can make it.

Give it a go.

I borrowed this one for you.

Rush hour. Traffic.

How else are you going to get promoted?

Come on, let's go!

That was quick, right?

Ms. Bing?

Yes, ma'am, on my way up!

Yes, ma'am.

In a bit. Yes, ma'am.

Thank you!

Yes, ma'am. Coming. Okay, okay.

Competitive landscape work for company is,

we should know our product competitors,

their strengths and their weaknesses, of course.

- Our position and stand-- - Wait.

Do I have a hard copy of this one?

- Of course, ma'am. - Well, where is it?

We'll print it out for you.

Joanne, print it out.

You take care of the market study Ms. Bing wants.

But show it to me first before emailing it to her.

Don't be such a show-off.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Do you have mustard?

- What's that? - No?

You okay?

Whatever that is, you'll pull through.

Smile.

Fine, fine.

I thought you liked it here.

Well, that's true.

I like painting but tattoos are really my thing.

Sometimes, I get them when I'm happy.

Sometimes, when I'm sad.

Sometimes, it's just bullshit.

Like, I'll dream about a design.

I wake up, an hour later, it's on my skin.

How about you? What's your thing?

Thing?

- Don't know. Maybe my family. - What?

That's not a thing.

You don't have a thing?

Everyone needs a thing. A thing is like...

A thing is what makes you you.

Like you can do anything else and nothing makes you feel...

as alive...

as important...

while you're doing your thing.

So maybe I have no thing.

- I have to look for one. - You should.

How much is mine?

- No need! My treat! - No, take this.
