18th Rose

There!

Look at her dress!

Hey!

Hey!

Why is it lagging?

Our internet sucks.

Don't let Uncle hear you saying that.

He's just upgraded to Plan 999.

- Maybe someone's downloading something. - Downloading?

Oh, it's Ms. Berta.

- Hi, Ms. Berta. - Hi, Rose.

- There! - It's him!

- Hey! - What are you doin'?

I'm burning a CD.

- Really, now? - Yes.

Do that later. We're watching the Mara San Andres debut.

Why should I care?

- What? - I don't care.

You don't care, huh?

- You don't care? - Rose!

- Rose! - It's back on, Rose!

- This is it! - Almost there!

- Wait. - Hurry, there. It's almost there.

- There it is! - There it goes!

She's gonna turn around.

- Almost there! - Almost there!

- There! - Hey!

Bummer!

Hey, sweetheart. Don't look so grumpy.

And your Aunt Kakai offered me a job managing her resort.

Are we staying with Aunt Kakai?

Probably not.

There might be an internet café nearby.

And could you please take off those sunglasses?

The sun's not even out.

Let's go.

Shocker!

You're so pretty.

You're such a cutie.

You just don't try too hard, but you're pretty, okay?

Sweetie.

You could spend forever looking in the mirror,

but your face won't change.

Dad, seriously? You're such a buzzkill.

That pretty face of yours…

You didn't even let me finish.

- Really? You were just pulling my leg. - You're blushing.

It would've been okay, except for the hair.

It's all stuck to your forehead. So greasy.

No, it's not.

I'll buy some supplies in town later.

Tell me if you need shampoo, conditioner, whatever.

No need, Dad.

I've got it. I'm getting paid at the shop soon.

Wait. Didn't you say you were saving that money for your debut?

I am.

Then I've got this one covered.

- Yes. - Really, now?

Hey! You're the best, Dad!

Love you, Dad! Thank you!

What's going on?

- Perfect timing! - Why?

What is it? Hey!

Move!

What's going on?

What on earth? I can't see anything.

- What does he look like? - He looks like Jack!

- Jack! - Who's Jack?

The guy from Titanic!

- Leonardo DiCaprio? - Yes, girl.

Don't mess with me. He's my crush.

He's mine.

Hey! Stop screaming!

Ms. Melai!

Don't scream at Ms. Melai!

Ms. Melai!

Would you... Stop screaming!

- What's going on? - Ms. Melai.

What's going on? Is somebody jabbing someone with a pen again?

No, Ms. Melai. Nothing's going on.

They said the guy from Titanic ...

What?

Leonardo DeCapre?

It's "Caprio."

Caprio!

- Ms. Melai. - Caprio! Caprio!

- Let's go to the garden. The garden. - Okay.

Leonardo!

He asked me a question!

He touched my hand.

I think he likes me!

Leonardo!

There you go.

Camellia and dahlia, I placed you two together.

When you finally bloom, you'll be gorgeous as heck, right?

Brand-new soil and everything.

- Nice. That's really nice. - Hey.

Don't be surprised if they talk back to you.

My mother said we should treat them like our own kids.

Talk to them and take care good of them.

Do you have a lot of plants at home?

We do. Especially when Mom was still here.

That's all she ever did, tend to the garden.

- I can see that you take after her. - Yeah.

Even in looks.

Oh, amnesia! I forgot the fertilizer behind the tree!

Ms. Melai, I'll go get it.

- Really? - Don't worry.

Go ahead then.

It's over there in a jute sack. You can't miss it.

- I'll get it. - Thank you.

Girl, he's gone!

You guys, head left. You guys, head right. Okay?

What about a secret code?

Just scream.

Which way are you going?

- Yeah. - I'm staying here.

In your dreams! Come on.

Back at ya. Later!

This stinks.

Not looking…

For my scholarship.

What a jerk.

You keep saying "shit"!

You're shit!

I said it's fertilizer. Get over yourself!

You've got some nerve. You're the one who ran into me.

You're really cocky! I know every student here.

With one snap of my fingers, they'll be waiting for you outside.

You'll get what's coming to you. You're done.

One snap and you're done!

It's your fault!

Watch your mouth!

Hey, man.

Are you from around here?

You idiot, speak English.

So it's true, foreigners don't shower every day, huh?

Smells like sweat.

No!

Smells like shit. Like when you step on poop on the road.

- Gross! - Who are you calling "shit," huh?

What the…

Causing trouble here too?

- Tell him, Rose! - What now?

Who are you calling "shit girl"?

Did someone shit on you? You smell just like him!

This guy ran into me while I was carrying fertilizer.

We got covered in fertilizer.

This idiot. And now he's blaming me.

You've got some nerve. You sure think a lot of yourself, huh?

I work here.

I was already working here before you moved in, you colonizer!

- Colonizer... - Don't curse here, okay?

No cursing allowed here. Get out.

"I'm not leaving"? Out!

You've got some nerve.

There you go. You paid, huh?

Big guy crying over ten pesos. Here's your ten pesos.

- Get out! - Out.

- Boss? - He said "boss"!

He's asking for the boss!

I'm manning the shop, the boss.

Nothing you can do. Go home!

Go home!

- Go home, shit boy! - You stink!

- Even the customers can't stand it. - You stink!

- That's you. You stink! - Go home, shit!

Go home, shit boy!

- You stink. - You smell like shit.

You stink!

Yes?

Oh, dear. We don't have cereal. I haven't had time to go grocery shopping.

They only have danggit at the store.

Thanks.

Because?

You know, Jordan,

if you keep acting like that, you won't ever be able to settle in.

Has he replied yet?

When he replies.

You're gonna be late for school. You have to go now. Go.

You left your lunch. Jordan.

Miss, can you please help me reach the chocolate drink?

I can't reach the shelf.

Hey! I was here first! That's mine!

That's mine. I was going to buy it.

I asked for help 'cause I couldn't reach it. Give it to me.

You're such a bully!

Think you're hot?

"Think you're hot?"

What?

All you do is say "fuck," huh?

All you do is say "shit." Always cussing.

Don't you have parents to teach you manners?

Hey, that's mine!

You just wasted it.

That's taken. They're just in the restroom.

They're coming back.

Go ahead.

Ms. Berta!

You know the drill. One hour for me.
