"Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day"

Anastasia: Ate, may napapansin ka ba with Sean?

Agatha: What do you mean by that, Anya?

Anastasia: He's not like most boys, you know.

Agatha: Most boys are boring.

Anastasia: Buti nga nagagawa pang lumabas at maglaro dahil kay Jake.

Agatha: Even Jake is not like most boys.

Anastasia: Agnes is raising him well. Kung gaano ka-maaalaga si Agnes, ganoon si Jake kay Sean. Even Mack's attitude is admirable.

Agatha: Does it look like Anges and Ramon will ever— Alam mo na—

Anastasia: Parang hindi mo kilala ang Tita Salve.

Agatha: Well, Agnes, Mack, and Jake— they still have us.

Anastasia: They do.

Agatha: Time is the ultimate truth teller. Alam mo naman ang Papâ, he will take that secret to the grave because he thinks he has to.

Anastasia: Sabi naman ng Tiya Idang, they will be taken care of one way or another.

"Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way"

Jake: Mano po.

Agatha: Good bless. Saan kayo galing?

Jake: Nag-caroling po.

Agatha: How did you boys do, Sean?

Sean: Twenty-five pesos na, Auntie.

Jake: Muntik na nga po hindi pinayagan ng Doña Doray si Se kanina.

Agatha: Ganoon ba?

"Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see"

Sean: Auntie, did you see that part with the snow that buried Shan Yu?

Agatha: It's called an avalanche, Sean.

Sean: Avo-launch?

Agatha: Avalanche.

Sean: Avalanche.

Agatha: Ikaw, Jake? What did you like about the play?

Jake: Yung fighting po gamit yung pamaypay ni Mulan.

Agatha: Ang husay ano?

"We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me"

Agatha: Do you really that's wise just plucking him from here and moving him to some International School?

Gullermo: Yan din po ang sabi ko kay Anya, Ate.

Anastasia: Well, I think it's what is best given what happened sa kanya during that swim meet.

Guillermo: At kung hindi dahil kay Jake, baka may worse pa ang nangyari sa anak natin.
