Between Maybes

Let's do it again.

So many angry people

Can no longer count 'em

Despite everything, there are people

I can still count on

Though I cause pain to my mom

And bring trouble to my dad

I never rush, I don't bother

As long as we dream together

I waited long enough For this day

For the fire to burn, yes I did pray

Stared at it hard so it won't go away

I did everything for it to stay

Okay, fine, a lot of them are good

The bullets pierced through every wound

We're the fools in the scene

But you never knew where we came from

I overdosed like my bros Truth is I'm really broke

Smoked pot until I choked

Felt like I hit some coke

We're comin' at ya, at ya

Busted my bros, but they get away

With some help from Coppa

All I want is to throw some shade

To all my fellas So I can blame them straight

To whisper evil, there's so much hate

Before you speak, hold it and wait

But nobody can shoot me down

-'Cause I will rise until… -Hazel! Get ready for the chorus.

For I want to succeed!

Hazel! What are you doing?

You're going home.

What is this? What are you wearing?

You look like a hostess.

Good evening, ma'am, sir.

Who are you?

I'm Douglas Capati.

I'm a big fan of your daughter.

I'm known in the hip-hop world as "Dog-style Douglas."

These are my friends.

This is Johnny, a.k.a. "Mastafaka."

That's Kokoy, a.k.a. "Street Boytoy X."

That's Santi, "Thrasher Kid."

Hazel, let's go. Get in the car.

You have an early audition tomorrow.

Hey!

What are you doing here? Are you smoking with them?

We're jamming!

We're going home now!

Damn it, Hazel.

Who are they?

It's a good thing those drug addicts didn't rape you.

They're not like that. They're musicians.

Didn't I tell you not to get close with your fans?

They only want to take photos with you.

-Hi, Hazel! -You smile. Smile.

Look at those eye bags! You look like a zombie!

I don't know why you won't sleep early.

-How will you get the lead role? -That's why there's makeup.

Is that a pimple on your chin?

Oh my God, Hazel!

What do you want me to do? Tell my pimple not to grow?

Hey! Look at that!

When did they put that up?

There's another one on the freeway.

Didn't they say they were going to renew Hazel's contract?

Go to your room so your mom will stop.

See, Hazel!

They didn't get you again.

Because you're always frowning.

You can't help but frown when your mom yaps to no end.

What? What did you say?

Honey! They delivered the stockings you ordered online.

Do you think you're going to be in demand forever?

You could be preparing for your audition now,

but what are you doing? Rapping?

If they want to cast me, they'll cast me.

I'll get some salad from the fridge. It's really good.

How will they cast you as the lead?

You don't try your best in your auditions.

And there are so many rising stars who are good.

Idiot!

Go to sleep.

Instead of wasting your time doing whatever.

Why don't you get a job so you're not dependent on me?

Hazel. Don't be like that.

Your mom quit being a teacher

so she could support your acting career.

Why?

How much was she earning?

Do you think we could have built this house

if we depended on your vulcanizing shop?

Enough! Stop it.

She needs to sleep.

Do you know why we pushed you to become an actor?

Because you're dumb.

Your dad and I have known that since you were little.

Even your uncles and aunts know.

You're not smart.

You fail your classes.

So, be thankful

that you were born beautiful.

Where would you be if you weren't in showbiz?

Miss, is there an international flight leaving soon?

To where, ma'am?

-What? -Where are you going?

Anywhere.

Somewhere I don't need a visa.

Or Japan. I have a multiple entry visa.

Give me a moment.

I'll be right back.

Delete that. I'm going to report you to your boss.

I'm so sorry.

My grandmother is a huge fan.

I was going to send it to her because it's her birthday.

I'll delete it now.

There.

-What's your grandmother's name? -Janet Toledo.

-How old? -Seventy-seven, ma'am.

Give me that.

Where?

Fuku-o-ka.

That's fine. Just hurry.

Where are you? You have an audition tomorrow--

I'm going on a vacation. Don't bother me.

Vacation? You can't! You have an audition--

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-How was the catch? -Not so good. There are fewer fish lately.

-Climate change sucks. -Climate change sucks.

Louie!

We have visitors arriving from Kyoto later.

Clean the tables thoroughly.

-Yes. -And fix your collar.

Yes.

Welcome.

Yes.

Sure.

What a glutton.

Oh my goodness!

That usually happens.

Will you be able to eat all of that?

That's not your problem, I'm paying anyway.

It stinks.

I'm on vacation. No pictures, please.

Why would I take your picture?

You dropped your phone.

-All right, take care. -Mister, wait.

How do I get here?

By car?

Bus, train, or walk if it's close.

Miss, you can download the Saga travel support app.

-Everything's there. -My phone is off.

-Why don't you turn it on? We have Wi-Fi. -Just tell me how to go there.

I'm sorry. I don't know how via public transport.

Do you have a car? Can you take me?

-I'm working. -I'll pay you.

No need, I already have a job. You take care.

Help me! I'm lost!

Here.

How much is this?

That's on me.

I have money.

If you say so.

How did you end up in Saga?

There aren't a lot of tourists here, especially Filipinos.

That's the point.

There's no one I know and no one knows me.

You'll really get lost then.

No one gets lost forever.

Especially if there are good people who will help you.

Especially if they're from your country.

I'm not saying…

that's what you should do.

But maybe you should.

Okay, fine.

If you can wait until I'm done with work,

I can take you to your hotel.

-Where is it? -Saga.

Why? Is that far?

Four towns away.

Louie!

-Yes! -Please come in…

All right, I'll see you later. 7:00 p.m.

7:00 p.m.?

How much do you earn here?

You shouldn't ask that. Especially here.

What's the big deal?

I'll ride in the back.

Ride inside.

I like it here.

You're going to get cold.

And you might fall.

I'm not stupid.

I didn't say you were stupid.

Suit yourself.

Can we pass by a convenience store? Let's buy snacks and drinks.

Let's pass by a convenience store.

I don't understand why hot air is coming out

of the AC in my hotel room.

That's not an air conditioner.
