An Errand (2024) Movie Script
1
You know why casinos don't have windows?
Alright, old man, why not?
So you don't know what time it is.
Why? Have you ever gone inside a casino?
Too many times.
Ma'am always took me with her.
When she always liked to go to the casino.
I was her bagman.
Carried her money in a clutch bag.
She'd always be up against the Chinese.
Suddenly, in comes Bobit.
Two close-ins.
Does that mean two clutch bags as well?
Yup.
One for cash.
And the other...
I guess it's for another thing.
Or maybe the other one's empty,
so when she wins...
When ma'am wins, it's a big fiesta for us.
That's all she tips you with?
Food?
For all the millions she wins?
Why, man? What has your boss tipped you?
My boss always loses.
He's just addicted to gambling.
Addicted to losing.
That's what they want you to think.
Shit!
Wasn't that Bobit targeted once?
Yup.
Hasn't been showing his face much anymore.
Those two with him,
one was the bodyguard.
Bit the dust.
And the other guy?
Rex. Heh.
You know that guy Rex?
Even if he was just a driver,
they put him through weapons training.
They were about to head to the inner city.
Construction. That's how Bobit made it.
They say Rex was just one of his workers.
Thank you for your help. Thank you.
Let's not forget the stuff we need to do.
We're doing school buildings there.
"Maniacs" "Thieves" "Ex-Wife"
"Liquor/Gambling/Women" "Loan Sharks"
"Cheaters" "Gossips"
Sir.
Sir?
Sorry. Your boss has been calling you.
Hey. Your phone's dead.
Sorry, sir. Didn't see my battery died.
Anyway, I need you to get my t-shirt.
The Givenchy. The one with the Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa.
That painting in Paris.
She looks like she's smiling
but she isn't.
I mean, you don't really know...
Anyway, get it and bring it to me here.
Where'd you leave it, sir?
At home.
In Manila, sir?
Yes, Moroy.
Right now, sir?
Okay, sir.
Great. Oh...
Get my medicine box, too.
It's a small tin.
It's in my bedside drawer in our room.
On my side of the bed, okay? Not Norma's.
- Yes, sir!
- Okay.
Fleeting like smoke, only smoke
Each and every thing in this world
Things that are sweet turn bitter
Just as always, oh my
They simply pass by
When, oh, when?
When shall the day come?
The day my love returns
To my breast
Things that are sweet turn bitter
Just as always, oh my
Fleeting like smoke, only smoke
Each and everything in this world
Things that are sweet turn bitter
Oh, my
Just as always, oh my
They simply pass by
Norie says it's a dump.
Well, what she says goes.
Brenda, I told you, sweetheart,
If clients are complaining about the mess,
what should we think about it?
So stressful.
Anyway, my reservation's not until 8 p.m.
Okay, read the card first.
That's almost half my pay!
Why do you talk like a TV soap?
There. That's all the way till your 200th.
You know, one day, I'll take you with me.
I'll take you to Paris
so you can see the real Mona Lisa.
At the Louvre.
Such a big museum. Three wings.
But people just want to see the Mona Lisa.
A big crowd just to see her face.
But there's just a glass thing over it.
I made it my mission.
I'll take you to Paris.
Well, I'm glad you've got the time.
Moroy, let's swing by Korova.
No need, Moroy.
Just take her home,
then come back for me
and ma'am right away.
We're going to get into an accident.
Your chicks, huh.
It's sir.
What'd he say?
Oh, nothing. Just some reminders.
You're a good man, huh.
I'm sure he asked you
to hide the evidence.
Not really.
Just asked me to throw it away.
I'll have you thrown away.
They were seeing the Barangay Captains.
Election season.
Vote for Bobit, he's always got it
Pop it, lock it, vote for Bobit
Turn that thing off.
Yes, sir.
Some motorcycle men drove by them.
Two of them.
Ambush!
Killed the guy right beside Bobit.
But Bobit...
He got away, picked up by his backup.
But Rex...
He took a bullet here and here.
But he still got to pull out his piece.
Got out of the car and...
Got the two guys on the motorbike.
He was able to grab the bike, too.
Imagine,
he was able to grab that motorcycle!
Got to the hospital.
Are you Moroy?
Yes, sir. Moroy.
Buy me some meds.
I'll text you what I need.
Get your parking money from here, too.
Okay, sir.
And...
I'll leave this with you as well.
Take care of that.
There's money in that.
Okay, sir. I'll keep it safe.
Where can I park?
...against her lawyer's advice.
My lawyers acted on good faith.
They're headed by attorney Roy Montreras,
but everyone knows nothing
is gonna happen if it went to court.
Mrs. Makiling said this earlier
while on holiday
with her family in Baguio.
Next, please. What'll it be?
Miss, can I add something?
There's a line, sir.
I was just here a while ago.
I said there's a line.
Miss, these aren't for me.
They're for my boss.
And he's got a temper.
What is it?
Hurry up, sir. There's a line.
One ninety-two.
- Thank you
- Next!
Sir.
Hand me my bag, Moroy.
I think you're testing my honesty, sir.
It's all there. Count it if you want.
Here are your meds.
Thank you, Moroy.
Take us home, Moroy.
You know the way.
Yes, sir.
Fuck you!
Just give that to Maribel.
- Bel!
- Yes, sir?
You don't need to dress like that.
Maybe your boss before me liked that.
But we're just simple men.
That doesn't do anything for me.
Yes, sir.
Sir?
The prosecutor
in the case of Mrs. Makiling
has been reported shot
at a gas station in Las Pias.
Suspects were rounded up by the police.
Can't believe how fast
they rounded them up.
That's a little fishy.
You keep eating, eh.
Better drink some water or you'll choke.
You really love eating dog, eh?
Fuck you. I know what dog tastes like.
Go fuck with someone else.
'Cause dog is all your boss feeds you.
Yeah, but he feeds me German Shepherd.
That's imported!
What about you, Old Ben?
What's she feeding you to make you loyal?
Don't you get on each other's nerves?
I guess you're up to your neck in debt!
Nah.
Times are hard now.
I just pity her.
Ah. Because of all those lawsuits.
So that's why the media were at the mall.
It's them that were like dogs.
They could smell
Mrs. Makiling a mile away!
My boss has got a bunch of cases too.
But it's nothing to him.
Must be like that when you're loaded.
You get targeted.
I don't think ma'am is that loaded.
And when you're up against
the government...
Old Ben, I gotta hand it to you.
No backup.
You're all she's got as a bodyguard.
At your age?! That's a suicide mission!
Alright, guys, you're now with us...
Please welcome, all the way from Manila,
here for your next beauty,
the most awaited girl of the evening.
You know, Baguio might ease your stress.
Makiling invited you for socials, right?
If I were you, I may as well enjoy it.
Always include pleasure in your work.
This is why I'm here.
Moroy, turn on the Bluetooth.
Been a while since I've been in Baguio.
I think it was back in college.
- Bel.
- Moroy. Where's sir?
Still all the way up in Baguio.
Just asked me to get something.
Told me to go get it from their room
and bring it back up there.
Wait, wait. Go get it.
Why do you need to use the front door?
You see what we're...
I'm in a hurry.
Is ma'am here?
She's at Mrs. Vasquez. Mahjong night.
Oh, and sir's t-shirt,
the one with the woman's face...
The Mona Lisa?
Yup. I need to bring that, too.
Right away?
Yeah. Haven't even had breakfast.
Mayet!
Sir's Givenchy shirt!
What?
His Givenchy t-shirt!
Moroy.
Let's eat.
Hey. Shut the door on your way out.
Okay.
Try feeling this pressure,
this fear.
I need to unload my feelings, too.
You've just been eating and laughing.
Laughing and eating!
So that's all I am to you.
- No! No!
- Good. Good.
The reason why I eat and laugh
is 'cause I don't want us to be like you.
What, stiff? Sad? Problematic?
Wow. That's what you're good at.
Why don't you be the lawyer?
Or you can be a scriptwriter, so flashy.
Moroy!
Here. Take this.
There's someone I've got
to deal with here.
Yes, let's talk upstairs.
Why not here?
You've been itching to unload.
Why not here at the unloading zone?
Come on, Moroy. Take this.
Take it! Or you'll both get it from me.
I'll text you when we're done.
Just one will make you hard in 30 minutes.
Even if you've been drinking.
You'd probably get hard with an ugly girl!
Even you, Old Ben! You'd get a boner!
You might even get hard for your boss!
So that's why you're still with her.
Well, you know drivers...
They're let go after 4 or 5 years.
Of course. They start to grow horns.
How can Old Ben grow horns,
when he can't even get his dick up!
How do you know?
Hear that? The tablet's working.
Your boss doesn't care about her cases!
Not really.
But you know at my age,
all I can do is peep!
We're not that far apart.
But at my age, all I can do is touch!
But... is it true?
That tablet. Even if you just take one?
Shit. That's amazing.
Even if you're old or sick?
Kuya Nito, how much is
that hard-on tablet?
You can't afford it.
You can't just buy it at any pharmacy.
You need a doctor. Not just any doctor.
They need to be a "medical doctor" level.
If it was easy to get, we would go crazy!
And don't you call me "older brother."
You're much older than me!
And as for me, I can still get it up.
Don't worry. I'll make you some ginseng.
I'm sure you'll get it up again.
That doesn't do anything. I've tried it!
That's because you made it into tea.
You know, with ginseng,
you should try slathering it on your dick.
Just make it warm and you're good to go.
Moroy?
Mr. B.
Texted you the other day. No answer.
That so?
You know I'm always out of phone credits.
Is that so?
I think Jon is right.
No matter how long we've been serving,
they can just let go of us any time.
I've told you about my grandkid, right?
Born unlucky.
Born with a heart problem. A tiny baby.
My son is worthless.
I just force myself not to get close.
I know the Lord could take him any time.
All my pay goes to his meds.
I need to get back up there.
Take care of the thing, okay?
Sure, ma'am. I'll take care of it.
Tell him, "with my compliments."
Travel expenses. Something like that.
And can you do it?
Don't let it get it to you.
Keep it simple.
They're used to it.
No worries at all, ma'am.
Meanwhile, take it easy here in Baguio.
I know you've brought someone up here.
Let's go, Moroy.
Thank you, Moroy.
Thank you, sir.
Where you from, sir?
Where you from?
Manila.
Ayala Alabang.
No. I mean, where are you really from?
Lambunao.
Iloilo.
Okay, I knew you were from there!
Got it right from your accent right away.
One of my buddies is from Capiz.
Is that so?
Is it nice where you come from?
Dunno. Haven't been home a long time.
Me too.
Haven't been back a while from La Union.
- Why spend just to go home?
- You said it.
Right? Bus fare is ridiculous these days.
You take a bus. Then you eat in the bus.
Get gifts for everyone.
I mean it's nice to head home
but never go home on Holy Week.
That's my hatest!
So many people. Tourists!
All of them want to surf now.
When did that ever become something?
I'm from there but I dunno how to surf!
Right? It's all just people from Manila.
Tourists, foreigners.
So many of them. My absolute hatest!
Holy Week. I never go. I hate people.
What an idiot! Ah, wait...
You put sugar
in adobo?
Me, I never put sugar in adobo.
What would that taste like? Sweet.
You like sweet food? I hate sweet food.
If I want it salty, I just want it salty.
What's the point of putting in sweet?
You might as well eat ice cream, right?
I hate sweet dishes. I hate raisins too.
I know that! My buddy's from there.
You need to walk. No, you need a tricycle.
Maybe one ride. Maybe 30 pesos, I think.
You make a left at the school.
Then at the next store you take a right.
Then count three posts and you're there.
But you can walk it.
You're built well enough I'm sure you can.
Just walk it. Save 30 pesos, right?
Wow. He's got a Rolex!
Classy.
That's nothing. A gift from my boss.
A loyalty award. I can only dream.
You better not mind it.
Why would I even? It's obviously a fake.
Sorry but the Rolexes
of my other clients...
the hands move like this.
- Yours is like this!
- Ouch! Fuck.
It's called acupressure.
Acupressure? I think you mean acupuncture!
It's acupressure.
Are therapists allowed to do that?
Who told you therapists can't do that?
And who told you I was a therapist anyway?
Anyone tell you I was a therapist?
Who told you I was a therapist?
You bastard.
What's this?
That's nothing.
A bullet.
Yeah, right.
Really?
Really?
A real bullet?
You asshole.
I don't believe you.
Time to face up, sir.
Fuck!
Are you ticklish?
A little bit? Here?
Not me. Asshole!
You look like an idiot.
You drank a bit too much, eh?
Or just looking for someone to talk to?
There you go.
Time for him to go.
Go. You gotta go.
Hurry.
Hurry!
Dress up.
Aren't you from Pura V. Kalaw, too?
Elementary School.
How'd you know?
I'm from Pura V. Kalaw myself.
You know Norie from accounting?
She was your batchmate.
Norie.
She said you were batchmates.
Wasn't she salutatorian?
She was really good early on.
There's probably a big gap between us.
I didn't finish high school.
But whatever, right?
Even sir never finished high school.
That's what he told you?
And you believed him.
He graduated all the way.
Even went to the Ateneo.
Sir.
Moroy, where are you now?
Sir, traffic was really bad in Balintawak.
Where's ma'am?
Yes, sir. At Mrs. Vasquez's.
Anyway, just bring it to me.
Don't get into traffic this time!
Tarlac!
You make things up like an Atenean, too.
What about you?
How many years have you suffered Bernard?
You think I don't know that he hurts you?
Didn't you leave him already?
What happened to your trial separation?
Okay. He hits me.
But I love him, Anna.
I love him!
Salamabitch!
What?
I'm here in Baguio with ma'am.
In Baguio!
I dunno. Nobody told me anything.
What about it, anyway?
All right. All right.
I told you I've got nothing.
Borrow from your sister Noreen.
Tell her, on the 15th.
On the 15th.
Okay. I'm busy.
I miss how he beats me up.
I can't sleep. I can't eat.
That's why I came back, okay?
That's why I came back home!
What a worthless person!
But I told you I was in love, right!
Whose side are you on, Anna?
Are you done?
I don't care if you're in love.
You are still stupid! Okay?
That's what I said.
I told you I was all the way here.
You keep calling!
Tell them I requested it.
Hey. Let it go.
So antsy.
God, don't be such an enabler.
Are you married?
If I were you, I wouldn't get hitched yet.
Save your money.
When you've saved up, go back home.
Put up a store. Buy a tricycle.
Look for a wife there. Not here in Manila.
It sucks here.
He took that bike to the hospital.
Emergency Room.
You know what he did?
That did it.
They all started scrambling to help him.
That night, they said it was too late.
There was no hope.
They were making his death certificate.
But you know what?
Rex suddenly woke up!
He recognized the guy who ambushed them.
He suspected that
it was Bobit himself
who had called the hit
on his own men.
He just made it look like an ambush.
He knew
they'd come after him
if they knew he'd survived.
And so.
He got away.
A free man.
Dead on paper.
But...
he lives a new life.
Sir.
I'm almost there. On Kennon Road.
Sir.
Sir?
Sir.
Hurry up, okay?
But take it easy.
But hurry up all the same.
Make a good job out of it.
Make it look like he needs you instead.
Even if it isn't true.
Oh, misery
Such misery it is to be abandoned
Day and night
I weep for you
Oh, my love
From whom my destiny has fled
There is no more, nothing more
And all my joy lies dead
Oh, misery
Such misery it is to be abandoned
Day and night
I weep for you
Oh, my love
From whom my destiny has fled
There is no more, nothing more
And all my joy lies dead
Oh, blue sky above
Alas, where are you now?
Save the one imprisoned by love
It is better to die than to be dying
So that I will not remember
That I never felt joy
Oh, blue sky above
Alas, where are you now?
Save the one imprisoned by love
It is better to die than to be dying
So that I will not remember

this fear.
I need to unload my feelings, too.
You've just been eating and laughing.
Laughing and eating!
So that's all I am to you.
- No! No!
- Good. Good.
The reason why I eat and laugh
is 'cause I don't want us to be like you.
What, stiff? Sad? Problematic?
Wow. That's what you're good at.
Why don't you be the lawyer?
Or you can be a scriptwriter, so flashy.
Moroy!
Here. Take this.
There's someone I've got
to deal with here.
Yes, let's talk upstairs.
Why not here?
You've been itching to unload.
Why not here at the unloading zone?
Come on, Moroy. Take this.
Take it! Or you'll both get it from me.
I'll text you when we're done.
Just one will make you hard in 30 minutes.
Even if you've been drinking.
You'd probably get hard with an ugly girl!
Even you, Old Ben! You'd get a boner!
You might even get hard for your boss!
So that's why you're still with her.
Well, you know drivers...
They're let go after 4 or 5 years.
Of course. They start to grow horns.
How can Old Ben grow horns,
when he can't even get his dick up!
How do you know?
Hear that? The tablet's working.
Your boss doesn't care about her cases!
Not really.
But you know at my age,
all I can do is peep!
We're not that far apart.
But at my age, all I can do is touch!
But... is it true?
That tablet. Even if you just take one?
Shit. That's amazing.
Even if you're old or sick?
Kuya Nito, how much is
that hard-on tablet?
You can't afford it.
You can't just buy it at any pharmacy.
You need a doctor. Not just any doctor.
They need to be a "medical doctor" level.
If it was easy to get, we would go crazy!
And don't you call me "older brother."
You're much older than me!
And as for me, I can still get it up.
Don't worry. I'll make you some ginseng.
I'm sure you'll get it up again.
That doesn't do anything. I've tried it!
That's because you made it into tea.
You know, with ginseng,
you should try slathering it on your dick.
Just make it warm and you're good to go.
Moroy?
Mr. B.
Texted you the other day. No answer.
That so?
You know I'm always out of phone credits.
Is that so?
I think Jon is right.
No matter how long we've been serving,
they can just let go of us any time.
I've told you about my grandkid, right?
Born unlucky.
Born with a heart problem. A tiny baby.
My son is worthless.
I just force myself not to get close.
I know the Lord could take him any time.
All my pay goes to his meds.
I need to get back up there.
Take care of the thing, okay?
Sure, ma'am. I'll take care of it.
Tell him, "with my compliments."
Travel expenses. Something like that.
And can you do it?
Don't let it get it to you.
Keep it simple.
They're used to it.
No worries at all, ma'am.
Meanwhile, take it easy here in Baguio.
I know you've brought someone up here.
Let's go, Moroy.
Thank you, Moroy.
Thank you, sir.
Where you from, sir?
Where you from?
Manila.
Ayala Alabang.
No. I mean, where are you really from?
Lambunao.
Iloilo.
Okay, I knew you were from there!
Got it right from your accent right away.
One of my buddies is from Capiz.
Is that so?
Is it nice where you come from?
Dunno. Haven't been home a long time.
Me too.
Haven't been back a while from La Union.
- Why spend just to go home?
- You said it.
Right? Bus fare is ridiculous these days.
You take a bus. Then you eat in the bus.
Get gifts for everyone.
I mean it's nice to head home
but never go home on Holy Week.
That's my hatest!
So many people. Tourists!
All of them want to surf now.
When did that ever become something?
I'm from there but I dunno how to surf!
Right? It's all just people from Manila.
Tourists, foreigners.
So many of them. My absolute hatest!
Holy Week. I never go. I hate people.
What an idiot! Ah, wait...
You put sugar
in adobo?
Me, I never put sugar in adobo.
What would that taste like? Sweet.
You like sweet food? I hate sweet food.
If I want it salty, I just want it salty.
What's the point of putting in sweet?
You might as well eat ice cream, right?
I hate sweet dishes. I hate raisins too.
I know that! My buddy's from there.
You need to walk. No, you need a tricycle.
Maybe one ride. Maybe 30 pesos, I think.
You make a left at the school.
Then at the next store you take a right.
Then count three posts and you're there.
But you can walk it.
You're built well enough I'm sure you can.
Just walk it. Save 30 pesos, right?
Wow. He's got a Rolex!
Classy.
That's nothing. A gift from my boss.
A loyalty award. I can only dream.
You better not mind it.
Why would I even? It's obviously a fake.
Sorry but the Rolexes
of my other clients...
the hands move like this.
- Yours is like this!
- Ouch! Fuck.
It's called acupressure.
Acupressure? I think you mean acupuncture!
It's acupressure.
Are therapists allowed to do that?
Who told you therapists can't do that?
And who told you I was a therapist anyway?
Anyone tell you I was a therapist?
Who told you I was a therapist?
You bastard.
What's this?
That's nothing.
A bullet.
Yeah, right.
Really?
Really?
A real bullet?
You asshole.
I don't believe you.
Time to face up, sir.
Fuck!
Are you ticklish?
A little bit? Here?
Not me. Asshole!
You look like an idiot.
You drank a bit too much, eh?
Or just looking for someone to talk to?
There you go.
Time for him to go.
Go. You gotta go.
Hurry.
Hurry!
Dress up.
Aren't you from Pura V. Kalaw, too?
Elementary School.
How'd you know?
I'm from Pura V. Kalaw myself.
You know Norie from accounting?
She was your batchmate.
Norie.
She said you were batchmates.
Wasn't she salutatorian?
She was really good early on.
There's probably a big gap between us.
I didn't finish high school.
But whatever, right?
Even sir never finished high school.
That's what he told you?
And you believed him.
He graduated all the way.
Even went to the Ateneo.
Sir.
Moroy, where are you now?
Sir, traffic was really bad in Balintawak.
Where's ma'am?
Yes, sir. At Mrs. Vasquez's.
Anyway, just bring it to me.
Don't get into traffic this time!
Tarlac!
You make things up like an Atenean, too.
What about you?
How many years have you suffered Bernard?
You think I don't know that he hurts you?
Didn't you leave him already?
What happened to your trial separation?
Okay. He hits me.
But I love him, Anna.
I love him!
Salamabitch!
What?
I'm here in Baguio with ma'am.
In Baguio!
I dunno. Nobody told me anything.
What about it, anyway?
All right. All right.
I told you I've got nothing.
Borrow from your sister Noreen.
Tell her, on the 15th.
On the 15th.
Okay. I'm busy.
I miss how he beats me up.
I can't sleep. I can't eat.
That's why I came back, okay?
That's why I came back home!
What a worthless person!
But I told you I was in love, right!
Whose side are you on, Anna?
Are you done?
I don't care if you're in love.
You are still stupid! Okay?
That's what I said.
I told you I was all the way here.
You keep calling!
Tell them I requested it.
Hey. Let it go.
So antsy.
God, don't be such an enabler.
Are you married?
If I were you, I wouldn't get hitched yet.
Save your money.
When you've saved up, go back home.
Put up a store. Buy a tricycle.
Look for a wife there. Not here in Manila.
It sucks here.
He took that bike to the hospital.
Emergency Room.
You know what he did?
That did it.
They all started scrambling to help him.
That night, they said it was too late.
There was no hope.
They were making his death certificate.
But you know what?
Rex suddenly woke up!
He recognized the guy who ambushed them.
He suspected that
it was Bobit himself
who had called the hit
on his own men.
He just made it look like an ambush.
He knew
they'd come after him
if they knew he'd survived.
And so.
He got away.
A free man.
Dead on paper.
But...
he lives a new life.
Sir.
I'm almost there. On Kennon Road.
Sir.
Sir?
Sir.
Hurry up, okay?
But take it easy.
But hurry up all the same.
Make a good job out of it.
Make it look like he needs you instead.
Even if it isn't true.
Oh, misery
Such misery it is to be abandoned
Day and night
I weep for you
Oh, my love
From whom my destiny has fled
There is no more, nothing more
And all my joy lies dead
Oh, misery
Such misery it is to be abandoned
Day and night
I weep for you
Oh, my love
From whom my destiny has fled
There is no more, nothing more
And all my joy lies dead
Oh, blue sky above
Alas, where are you now?
Save the one imprisoned by love
It is better to die than to be dying
So that I will not remember
That I never felt joy
Oh, blue sky above
Alas, where are you now?
Save the one imprisoned by love
It is better to die than to be dying
So that I will not remember
That I never felt joy
