Reggie: Here they are,Dad!

Mr. Ray: (Looking at the stranger.)Oh, I see.

Tonyo: Sir,he's Pepe.

Mr. Ray: And so?

Tonyo: (Imitating him.)And so?And so,he's the storekeeper at the nearby sari-sari store.

Mr. Ray: Then?

Pepe: Don't you remember me,Sir?

Mr. Ray: I have so many works to finish now.Who are you then?

Pepe: Don't you remember me?

Mr. Ray: (Irritated.)I said I don't know you.

Reggie: (Laughing at his Dad.)Dad,you don't tell him already that you don't know him.

Mr. Ray: I just told him a while ago.

Tonyo: (Stand and will get the hose to water the plants.)Excuse Sir,Tonyo and Reggie.

Reggie:Then go.Hurry!

(Tonyo leaves and then waters the plant. Mrs. Jema carries a cup of coffee.)
