DYLAN

DYLAN
Of course! (reminiscing the past. Halatang napikon, he doesn't want to remember yung past niya lalong lalo na yung huli niyang poem na isinabak niya sa contest na idini-decate niya sa huling girl na naging girlfriend niya titled " My Girl ". You're looking for bida guy?!. Okay, I want to know what that story is all about.

MYRA
I want you feel two the story (palakad-lakad habang nag sasalita). (Napatigil sa pag lakad at tumingin kay Dylan) It's about connection (low tone). (Pause) I should tell the story na present din sana si Amber.

DYLAN
Amber? (Low tone)

MYRA
Yes, Amber. Rumors spread so easily pag sikat. You and Amber didn't meet in person, did I say it right? (Shock face)

DYLAN
Famous? We? (Napakunot noo habang nabanggit ang "We".

MYRA
Ahah! Dylan? (Low tone). (Pause). Have you ever feel the connection? (Bulong niya kay Dylan)

Dylan napaisip, he can't deny the fact na naiintriga siya sa pangalang Amber. May feeling na hindi niya maintindan when he hear that name.

DYLAN
(Sigh), I don't know.

MYRA
So, Dylan game ka ba dito? Please say a yes.
It's not about the story para mapa "Oo" siya, it's about his will to know what might happen when he meet Amber in person.

DYLAN
Okay! here, my calling card. Call me for cover shoot.

MYRA
(Smirk) Alam mo Dylan maybe Amber is the missing piece. (Sabay kindat kay Dylan).

DYLAN

MYRA
I'll see you around. (Umalis).
