INT. RECORDING STUDIO - AFTERNOON

4:01 p.m.

Kachi
Want some?

Mikey
What's that?
Amoy cinnamon.

Kachi
It's spiced apple tea.
Pang pa soothe lang ng throat.
Nanakit kagabi lalamunan ko, e.

Mikey
Okay. May extra ka pa?

Kachi
Yup! I bought 4 tea bags.
You can have this one.

Mikey
Thanks.

Kachi
You look sad.
You okay?

Mikey
I'm fine.
I just want to go back.

Kachi
Saan?

Mikey
Set.

Kachi
Ha? Sa set? Why would you want to go back agad?

Mikey
Kasi Robin's there.
And she's not on her phone recently. She's busy working on a project kaya I just want to go back.

Kachi
I see . . .

Kachi grinned.

Mikey
Don't look at me like that.

Kachi
You're so lovesick 'no?

Mikey
I'm not?

Kachi
Pero kung sabagay. I think you're both on the honeymoon phase since new pa lang kayo ni Ate Robin so understandable.

Mikey
What are you implying?

Kachi
I just mean we're actors. Iba't iba locations natin most of the time, minsan pa it's abroad. So just think of this as the tip of the iceberg. May times pa na umuuwi tayo ng 6 a.m. from a whole day's shoot. Literal na inumaga na. Very tight ang sched tapos iba-iba pa 'yong lugar na pinupuntahan. So paano na 'yon in the long run, 'di ba?
