Nasa park ka uli?

Ash:
Just thinking

Dave:
I'm all ears

Ash:
It's about your Dad. I doubt you are.

Dave:
Almost two weeks na yan

Ash:
It bothers me

Dave:
Let it go, Bub

Hindi maganda na palagi
mo yan iniisip.

Ash:
The operation will happen two
weeks from now.

Dave:
You gave him money?

Ash:
Not for the operation

Dave:
Pero you still did?

Ash:
It's for Lea

Dave:
I thought he's rich

Ash:
Dave cmon that was years ago

Dave:
He didn't even get to pay
for my tuition.

Lea has it good now.

Ash:
She stopped college

She's 19 and taking care of her sick Dad.

Dave:
Okay

Ash:
Hindi ka ba naaawa

Dave:
Life happens

Ash:
You're gonna let them suffer?

Dave:
Life happens, Ash.

Ash:
What kind of mindset is that

Life happens? Stop working then. Life happens naman eh. You'll get through it. Kaya yan.

Dave:
Tama na nga yan

Ash:
Why?! Why are you even working your ass off for the promotion?! Life happens. Dadating yan if it's meant for you.

Dave:
What do you want me to do?

Tutulong? Nung nag working student si Ate Kelly para pag-aralin sarili nya at para ambagan din yung tuition ko, wala naman syang pakealam ah.

What did he tell us? "That's life."

Ash:
You honestly need sympathy

Dave:
Tangina

You just don't get it

Ash:
I will never get how you
lack sympathy.

Never.
