Spotlight on centerstage, at the hallway just outside the events hall. Meng and Tisoy enter the scene, still holding hands, with Coleng and Michael already standing there. Coleng looks mad with her arms folded, back turned to Michael, while Michael looks dejected, trying to appease his wife.
Michael: (taps her shouder) Labidabs, huy. Wag ka nang magalit. Alam mo namang that's not what I meant.
Coleng: (shrugs away his hand) Wag ka nang magdahilan, Michael. I heard what you said. And there's no way I could've misunderstood what you said. (turns to look at him, angrily) After all these years, I can't believe what a shallow and insensitive man you are (turns her back to him again, starts crying).
Meng: (to Tisoy) Naku, nag-straight english na. Seryoso na to. (nudges him towards Michael as she goes to Coleng, rubbing her back) What happened? Ilang oras lang kami nawala, may world war III a dito?
Coleng: (sniffs) Itanong mo dyan sa magaling mong bayaw! (leans against Meng's shoulder and cries)
Tisoy: Huy, ano ba kasi ginawa mo?
Michael: Ako talaga? Ako kaagad? (Coleng, Meng and Tisoy glare at him) Sabi ko nga, ako may kasalanan eh. (rubs nape) Ano, kasi...joke lang naman yun eh. Habang final alteration ng gown ni Labidabs, humingi siya sa kin ng cake, kasi daw na-ste-stress siya sa inyong dalawa. Tapos, ano, ang sabi ko...ano...for the record, I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Joke lang talaga yun.
Meng: (walks to Michael, grabs his collar) Anong. Sinabi. Mo?
Michael: (puts hands up) Ang sabi ko "Labidabs, pumuputok ka na oh. Di kaya makulangan tayo ng food sa reception bukas kasi naubos mo na." (ducks)
Meng: YOU SAID WHAT? (Tisoy stops her from strangling him)
Michael: Joke nga lang kasi yun! And besides, ikaw rin kaya, sinasabihan mo si Coleng that she's been eating too much!
Meng: (tries to grab him) Okay lang kung ako kasi kapatid niya ko. May license ako to say those things. Pero ikaw!
Tisoy: (holds Meng) Oh, easy, easy. May wedding pa bukas. Bukas mo na lang siya patayin, after ng reception para maka-kain tayo.
Coleng: Meng, tama na. It's clear that my husband thinks I'm too fat. Let's just call off the wedding until I've lost enough weight para di ako ikahiya ng asawa ko. (runs away)
Meng: Coleng! (turns to Michael) Ikaw, humanda ka sa kin! (Runs after Coleng)
Tisoy: (releases a big breath, shakes head as he puts arm on Michael's shoulders) Tol, mukhang matinding suyuan ang kailangan mong gawin.
Michael: Alam ko. (scratches head in frustration) Ang hindi ko ma-gets eh kung bakit ang dali niyang ma-pikon! Dati naman, wala lang sa kanya pag inaasar ko siya. Aasarin niya nga rin ako kasi ang laki ng bilbil ko tapos sabay kaming tatawa.
Tisoy: Hayaan mo muna siyang magpalamig ng ulo. Si Meng na bahala dun. Puntahan na lang natin si Lolo Vic at yung anak mo.
Tisoy leads Michael to the rooms, as they leave the stage. Stage goes black.
