PETER: What the-- for real???
Tanong ni Peter kay Jace with disbelief and curiousness in the face. Nasa resto sila ni Lisa at duon kumain ng dinner. At kwinento nga ni Jace ang nangyari kina Lisa at Peter. At ang resulta? Napuno ng tawa ang restaurant.
JACE: Yeah. And she's mad at me. I mean, really mad.
Nasa living room si Mae at nanunuod ng favorite niyang movie habang silang tatlo ay nasa dining at siya nga ang pinag-uusapan. Dinig na dinig niya ang tawa nila. At parang wala lang kay Jace ang nangyari. Hindi naman nakarating sina Erica at Leo dahil parehong may duty ang dalawa.
LISA: I can tell she's really mad. Eh nagcommute papunta dito eh. Usually sabay kayo ah. At ikaw, nagawa mo pang ikwento sa min.. at ang lakas ng loob mong tumawa ah.
JACE: Friends share almost everything you know.
PETER: I wanna ask her personally.
JACE: Hey! I told you she's mad.
Nagulat si Mae ng tumabi si Peter sa kanya sa sofa. Alam niya ang balak nito. Pagti-tripan na naman siya..
MAE: Don't you ever ask me about that.
Sumunod naman sa sala sila Jace at Lisa...
MAE: What do you all want???
LISA: How's your blind dates?
In-emphasize pa talaga ni Lisa ang 's' sa 'dates'...
MAE: I'm not gonna talk about it. Why dont you ask the moron who arrange that mess.
PETER: In-enterrogate na namin si Jace.
LISA: Yeah. And now, we want to hear your side.
Tahimik lang si Jace at nakatingin lang sa TV na animoy kunwaring nanonood. Pero ang haba ng tenga..
MAE: Anong gusto niyong sabihin ko?
PETER: Did that macho guy dance---
MAE: Oh god!! YES! ok?? and i really hate remembering all of that dates. So please, leave me alone.
LISA: Tama na nga Pete. Narinig mo naman na lahat kay Jace eh. Mae, dont be disappointed. Marami pang lalakeng available dyan. Dont worry, maghahanap din ako para sayo. At! sisiguraduhin kong normal.
Sabay tingin kay Jace..
JACE: Ok. ok. Aaminin kong hindi talaga ako marunong kumilatis ng tao. And I just invited them when i found out that they are single and not asking their background and stuffs like that. But I already apologize several times. What else do you want me to do? Kneel?
PETER: That would be too much pareng Jace. Hayaan mo na, di ka rin naman matitiis nitong si Mae eh. Di ba Mae?
Inirapan lang ni Mae ang dalawa.
MAE: Uuwi na ko. Thanks for the free dinner Liz.
JACE: Ihahatid na kita. Mauna na rin ako Liz.
MAE: Ayoko.
JACE: Mae. Please.
Nauna ng lumabas si Mae sa resto at pumanhik na sa kotse ni Jace.
Samantala, nasa harap na sila ng bahay ni Mae..
JACE: What do you want me to do?
