During a break in the rehearsals for M's Anniversary special:

R: *walks to M, holds her by the wrist and leads her to a quiet corner* Sandali, Love. Mag-usap tayo. *starts pacing around M, biting his nails nervously*

M: *watches him walk about* Love, ano ba yun? Nahihilo ako sa'yo eh. *grabs R's arm to make him stop*

R: *sighs, turns to M* Love, sigurado ka na ba?

M: Saan Love?

R: Gagawin mo talaga yun? Magchi-cheerdance ka talaga? With lifting and pyramids? *frowns, wipes sweat off his forehead*

M: Oo naman, Love. Sabi mo okay lang. Full support ka pa kanina.

R: Kinakabahan ako, Love. Natakot na ako nung pinakita na nila yung gagawin mo.

M: Wag ganoon, Love. Matatakot din ako nyan. Nilalakasan ko na nga lang loob ko. Takot din ako kala mo ba.

R: Teka, maglagay kaya tayo ng kutson?

M: Love, ang sagwa naman nun sa stage.

R: Safety net?

M: Di naman circus yung gagawin, Love tsaka istorbo sa stage.

R: Harness na lang.

M: Love, please suportahan mo na lang ako parang ayaw ko na tuloy. *pouts*

R: Haaaay... Sorry na, Love. *hugs M* Sorry na talaga... Titigil na ako. Promise. Susuportahan kita. *kisses M's temple* Kayang-kaya mo yan. Malaki ang tiwala ko sa'yo ang wala akong tiwala dun sa mga magbubuhat sa'yo. Di naman sila kasing ingat ko sa'yo.

M: *snuggles on his chest* Siyempre, Love, they're not RJ. Kaya lang we're just gonna have to trust them okay? Kahit 50 percent ganyan.

R: Okay, Love. Basta wag na wag lang silang magkakamali talaga. Naku... 50 percent... Okay. Wait lang, Love. *gently pushes M away and walks to the group of dancers*

M: *follows R, whispers* Love, anong ginagawa mo?

R: *whispers* Gusto mo na bigyan ko sila ng 50 percent trust di ba, Love?

M: Yes.

R: Okay. Hintay ka lang dito, Love. *faces thr group* Sino dito ang kasama sa pyramid? Yung mga bubuhat kay Maine?

A few of them step forward.

R: *looks at each one, studying them* Anong pangalan mo? *points to one*

D1: Dave po.

R: Ikaw?

D2: James po.

R asks the name of each dancer and takes a note of them.

R: Okay, Sandali. Picture tayo. *takes a groupie with the bunch* Ayan. Okay na. *turns to M* 50 percent na, Love.

M: *smiles and nods her head*

R: *addresses the group of dancers* Pwede nang ituloy yang practice nyo. Ingatan nyo lang tong si Maine ha? Tanda ko mga mukha at pangalan nyo *he says with a clenched smile and hawkish eyes, with a hint of warning*

The group coyly nod their heads in unison.
