INT. KITCHEN - MORNING

9:45 a.m.


Mikey
Ate Robin, separate the yolk from the egg whites daw.


Robin
Bakit?


Mikey
I don't know.
Ayun lang sabi dito.


Robin
Pa'no ko gagawin 'yon?


Mikey
'Yong technique na tinuro kanina. Crack the shell gently with a metal spatula then transfer yung egg back and forth sa shells until the egg white separates.



Robin
Okay.


Robin tried the technique he just said.


Robin
Nabasag.



Mikey
Gently lang, Ate.



Robin
Ayaw ko na. Palit tayo.
Ikaw na dito sa wet ingredients.
Nasasayang itlog.


Mikey
Okay, sure.


Robin
Sa'n ka huminto dito?



Mikey
Sift one cup of flour.



Robin
Ha?



Mikey
Padaanin mo sa sifter 'yong flour para walang clumps.



Robin
P'wede ko namang durugin 'yong clumps habang hinahalo sa bowl?



Mikey
I think it would be better to sift.



Robin
Sa strainer 'no, tama?



Mikey
Yup.



Robin
Ayaw ko talaga nito, e.
Daming arte.



Mikey
I thought you were looking forward to this class?



Robin
Oo nga kaso naiinis ako nagbabasa ako habang nagluluto. Hindi p'wede 'yong i-eyeball. Natatagalan ako, gusto ko nang makita 'yong cake.



Mikey
Ah . . .


Robin
Puro eyeball lang luto ko, e.
Swertehan na lang kung 'di maalat.




Mikey
And?



Robin
'Di naman maalat.
Edible naman.
Buhay pa mga pinakakain ko sa bahay.



Mikey
Do you have a specialty?



Robin
Specialty?
Spaghetti siguro.



Mikey
How do you cook it?



Robin
Hindi fan ng matamis na spaghetti tatay ko kaya 'yong three cheese na tomato sauce gamit ko. Tapos ayaw nila ng may hotdog kaya pasta lang saka ground beef.



Mikey
And?




Robin
Anong and?



Mikey
Do you have a secret recipe?



Robin
Ah! Maraming-maraming basil. Tapos hinahaluan ko konting asukal para naman 'di sobrang asim n'ong sauce tapos ano, binubudburan ko ng cheese.



Mikey
I see.



Robin
. . . at pagmamahal s'yempre.




Mikey chuckled.



Mikey
Can you cook that for me next time?



Robin
Ha?
Spaghetti?



Mikey
Yup. I'm curious.
Gusto ko ma-try.


Robin
Sige. Lutuan kita sa susunod.



Mikey
But can you put carrots?



Robin
Okay, sige.



Mikey
And, ano . . .



Robin
Ano?



Mikey
Lots of pagmamahal?



Robin cracked up.



Robin
Batang 'to talaga! Oo, sige.
Spaghetti na may maraming pagmamahal.





Mikey
I'm taking you up on that.



Robin
Oo, oo.


Mikey
Will be looking forward to it.



Robin
Okay, boss.
