Balut! Penoy!

Balut! Penoy!

Balut! Penoy!

Balut!

Kid, it’s getting late.

You might get in trouble. Get in.

Good evening, Sir.

I just had to finish a project.

Come on, hop in. Quick.

Get inside.

Hey guys, did you feel that?

What?

Someone’s ego just blew through here!

Lucky you, you landed with the right people.

Miss Universe!

Turn the dial back.

-Turn it back. - Congratulations—

Miss Universe.

Congratulations to Miss Philippines, Gloria Diaz, our first Miss Universe!

-That’s great! -Wow!

-I’m gonna marry her. -But will she marry you?

She’ll have to take a number.

Folks, history seems busy tonight.

More breaking news now, coming in from Houston…

…the latest updates on Apollo 11’s lunar module…

What will they even do there?

…which touched down on the moon early this morning.

Let’s now listen to the words of Commander Neil Armstrong,

the first man to set foot on the lunar surface.

Together with lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin,

and command module pilot Michael Collins,

Armstrong traveled for four days aboard Apollo 11,

arriving at the historic landing site

known as the Sea of Tranquility.

Are they still up there?

Can’t you see Armstrong?

Where?

Hey!

There, look! There!

He’s floating!

There he goes! And here he comes!

You fool!

"That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind"

Where’s Billy?

Beats me. He should be here by now.

He’s late again.

Have you seen Billy?

-He's not here yet? -Nope.

He’s screwed!

Hurry up.

You didn’t even shower, did you?

Did you sleep?

Sleep? After that "massage"?

He’ll be rolling his eyes back.

Sir.

Men, attention!

Fix your collar.

Button that up.

Meneses, are you playing catch with your flat iron again?

Sir, our iron doesn’t heat up anymore.

Your iron’s not hot, but my head is. Use that.

Button this, too.

Yes, Sir.

Look at your shoes, Ojeda.

Are you waiting for the soles to fall off?

Got no money yet, Sir.

No money?

Or too many extracurriculars?

Sir!

We’re not like you, Sir. We live hand-to-mouth.

And your collar, Ojeda,

it’s gone limp.

Sir,

that’s because it’s been up all night.

Chief already left.

Meeting with the Mayor.

Fix that, okay? When he comes back…

Yes, Ma’am.

Replace those already.

When payday comes, Sir. They’re still fine.

I have some extra cash.

No, Sir, don’t.

I’d rather die than borrow money.

Really, I’m fine.

Ojeda,

shoes either help or hurt your looks.

Yours?

They’re painful to look at.

Come on, Sir!

Here.

Sir Homer, no need.

I’m not taking it.

Hey, it’s a loan.

Pay it back. It’s for my kids’ tuition.

My father always tells me never to borrow money.

Because a debt of gratitude is forever.

-Suit yourself. -I'm good, Sir.

One week of traffic duty on Quirino for you, then.

Here.

-I’ll pay you back right away. -You better.

Thank you, Sir!

Hey, handsome!

Sir, come here.

Sir, come on here.

I'll try all of it.

We have premium girls here! Come on.

Come on here.

Sir. Hello!

Oh my! Sorry.

I love that.

Janette!

Ah, so you have to be Chinese

and have a fancy car.

Makes sense. Good looks don’t matter if your pockets are empty.

What?

Just verifying, Sir.

Good looks, check!

-Knucklehead! -Good looking!

Go work that side of the street.

Plenty of customers there.

Chief, how are you?

We got troublemakers.

They won’t pay. They say they’re cops.

There they are.

Alright.

All yours.

I like this one.

Come on!

No freebies here.

-Even cops pay. Hand it over! -Yes, Sir!

We’ll pay.

We just forgot.

No forgetting next time.

Let's go.

Oh?

I didn’t catch you coming home last night.

I didn't want to wake you.

You were sleeping so well.

I brought you some pancit.

Is it hurting again?

It's from lying down, maybe something’s pinched.

If it gets worse, have it checked.

Mamon! Hurry! Let’s eat.

Enough of that.

-Hey, mind yourselves. -Come eat.

Sit.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Miss Yoly, I have already settled my rent, right?

For the three months?

-Yeah, we’re good. -Thanks.

Sir, we're heading out.

You want some rice?

Good morning, Miss Yoly, Sir Homer.

Betty! Breakfast?

I’m good, Ma'am.

I'll go to my room now.

Okay.

You didn't even say hi.

She might think you have a problem with her job.

I didn't say anything.

Why pick on me?

Eat up.

A little less eyebrow.

What about the jawline?

Looks fine.

Sir, look.

I think we got it.

Have a look.

This is good.

Magtibay!

Magtibay! Come look at this, quick.

Sir, you need to see this.

Finally, we’ve put a face to the suspect.

-Huh? -Let's make copies

then send them out to all the stations.

Here.

Yeah.

Idiots!

-Manong! -Hi, Agnes!

-Uncle! -Agnes!

Bless me.

How are you, Agnes?

-That looks delicious! -Hello.

Manong Billy!

Pa.

Bless you.

For the kids.

You didn't have to.

It’s cheap, really.

Your brothers will love this.

Your Aunty Yoly says

you haven’t visited in a while.

I will, right after midterms.

Promise?

Chicken adobo.

My favorite!

Hand me a spoon and fork.

Here you go.
