Girl Online (2024) Movie Script
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[FATIMA] Hello, beshie cakes,
beshie lots, beshie pies!
This is your all-time,
one-in-a-trillion bestie,
Fatima M.,
and welcome back to my world.
This is...
The Fat Diary!
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
Are you ready for me, besties?
Are you sure?
Meow!
[EXHALES LOUDLY]
You know what, besties?
This is, like, so wild.
[CHUCKLES]
Um...
You know, I have so many
recent life events
that I really want to share
with you because, you know...
you're all my besties!
Last night...
Um...
OMG. OMG! [GIGGLES]
Wait, how do I say this?
Um...
You know, it's like...
, I'm so happy!
[GIGGLING]
Oh. Sorry for swearing.
[LAUGHS]
Sorry, sorry.
Um, okay, wait.
Press pause. Hang on.
You see, um...
[SQUEALS, GIGGLES]
Maybe you're wondering
why Fatsy is giggling like this.
And...
[GIGGLES]
You see, it feels like
an electric shock.
Like being bitten
by little ants.
Well...
This stays between you
and me, okay?
Hmm?
I think...
this is it.
Yes.
This is the moment of truth.
Last night...
I was out with my babe.
[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Babe?
[MUSIC FADING]
Babe?
Are you okay?
Mm.
Babe.
You've been quiet all night.
It's nothing. Uh...
I'm just thinking
about something.
Is it work?
Yeah, and...
other things.
Like?
[FATIMA] Right at that
very moment, I knew.
I was sure of it!
I'd been expecting
that it would happen soon,
but at that moment...
[SQUEALS]
[GIGGLES]
[SEPH] There's something
I want to tell you.
But never mind.
[WHINES]
Maybe next time.
Just say it, babe!
I'll tell you another time
when I'm ready.
[FATIMA] Okay.
Suit yourself.
You know that
I'll always understand.
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA]
I really am that girl!
[FATIMA SQUEALS, CACKLES]
[JESSALYN] Really?
Are you absolutely sure?
[FATIMA] What else
could it be?
He said he had
something to tell you,
and you think he wanted
to propose to you?
Jessalyn!
Babe and I have been together
for almost two years.
One year, 10 months,
and 27 days to be exact.
Round it off, carry one.
That's already two years!
So what?
Macoy and I have been together
for almost seven years,
but we're not talking
about marriage.
Because you don't plan
to have babies, right?
So you don't need
to get married.
What's gotten into you?
What makes you
think and assume
that your boyfriend
wants to marry you?
Jess,
I can really feel
that he truly loves me.
I feel it in my bones
that he loves me very much.
Okay.
[FATIMA] From the very first
time we met,
I've always known
that this is really it!
[FATIMA] Are you seriously
making me work
on a Saturday?
They said the deadline
is on Monday.
Hey, happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Is he wearing contacts?
Even God the Father who created
heaven and earth rested--
Oh, crap!
[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[FATIMA] Right at that moment,
I heard music.
Was there really music?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
there was.
Anyway, my wish
for all of you is...
Even once in your lifetime,
I wish you could experience
what I experienced
when I first met Seph.
[FATIMA] I'm telling you,
it's different.
We have real chemistry.
Whenever I'm next to him,
I can feel some sort
of vibration.
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Looks like I'm going to lose.
[FATIMA] And also...
you can just tell that
you're meant for each other.
[SIGHS]
It's really meant to be.
You will feel it strongly.
[FATIMA] Deep in your heart.
Babe.
Babe.
Mm?
Babe.
Can I ask something?
Mm.
Babe, you're
not listening again!
Can't you see I'm watching TV?
Okay.
What is it?
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey. Tell me.
You said you're watching, right?
So keep watching.
Come on.
Forget it!
- What is it?
- Hmph.
Just ask me.
Do you love me?
What?
I'm asking you if you love me.
Are you being serious?
Okay.
What?
I said, okay.
So you do love me?
I said okay, didn't I?
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
"Okay" is different
from "I love you."
[SIGHS]
Okay.
I love you.
No eye contact?
I love you.
Do you have more questions?
I love you, too!
[GIGGLING]
Say it again.
[SEPH SIGHS]
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
I love you.
Are you angry?
- I love you.
- Sounds fake.
I love you.
[FATIMA SQUEALING]
[GIGGLING]
[GIGGLES]
Stop it, you guys.
[FATIMA] Oh my god, besties!
You really have no idea
how happy I am!
I'm so, so happy today.
And I just really wish
that you could also experience
this happiness
that I'm feeling right now.
Because, you know, you deserve
to be happy like me!
Because you're my besties!
Meow! Meow!
[SINGING] Meow, meow, meow
Um...
Fatima?
- Fatima.
- What?
Where is the art card?
Meow meow!
- "Meow meow"?
- [SINGING] Meow, meow, meow
That's due for submission
to our client at 4PM!
You know what, Bennet?
Do not ruin my day.
Look at me, I'm so busy!
Busy with what?
You're just singing.
Can you not?
I sing when I'm busy.
[SIGHS SHARPLY]
And why are you busy?
It's personal.
Uh...
Okay.
- Okay, fine. I'll tell you!
- No, no. It's okay.
You know what?
Tonight is the big night.
[GIGGLES]
Night of what?
My boyfriend is going
to propose to me!
[SHRIEKS]
Ah.
Okay.
Um, aren't you happy for me?
[SCOFFS]
Okay.
Aren't you going
to congratulate me?
[SIGHS]
Congratulations.
Next time, you should work
on your sincerity, okay?
You jerk!
That's it! My day is ruined!
[FATIMA] I'm done!
I don't want to work anymore!
[FATIMA] Hi, beshy cakes!
Let's just wait a bit
for more viewers to join us.
Yes.
Yes, there you go!
We are going live now
here at La Mamacita Restaurant.
Courtesy of Ma'am Alice.
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate it.
Yes!
I know. My makeup is flawless.
Shout-out to my hair stylist
and makeup artist, Ina Santos.
Thank you. You're amazing!
I look beautiful tonight.
[GIGGLES]
Okay. Shout-out to Tetet Alcala
from Marikina City.
Thank you for the spring rolls
you sent me!
Thank you so much!
Don't forget to use the hashtag
#FatAndSephTheBigNight.
Okay? For your well-wishes!
Thank you so much!
[GASPS]
He's here. He's here.
Oh my god!
[FATIMA] Hi, babe!
Say hi to my besties!
Say hi to them. Come on.
Hi.
[SHRIEKS]
He's so handsome, right? Right?
Look at all these hearts!
[CACKLES]
- Fats, can you...
- Yes?
...do that later?
Oh, no! They're our friends.
We even have one
from Indonesia.
- I know, but--
- Hi! Shout-out to you!
Can you do that later, please?
Um. Okay, okay.
Um, hi, guys!
Okay. Seph and I
will have our dinner
- here at La Mamacita--
- [SEPH] Fats!
This is your one-in-a-trillion
bestie, Fatima M.!
I'll see you later, okay?
I'll check your updates.
Use the hashtag. Bye.
[SIGHS HEAVILY] There.
I'm done with my Facebook live.
[GIGGLES]
So, babe...
why did you want to have a date
here in this special restaurant?
[OLIVER] So, what
really happened?
Oh my god, Oli.
I thought their relationship
was getting serious.
I thought so, too!
And that's what
she thought, too.
So, what exactly happened?
[CHILL MUSIC PLAYING]
You're being quiet again.
It's nothing.
I'm just thinking
about something.
You're always like that.
[FATIMA] What's your deal?
You always seem distant
when we're together,
like you're in another planet.
And whenever I ask you,
you always have the same excuse.
Tell me!
[FATIMA] Is it about work?
Are your co-workers
bullying you again?
Of course not.
They're afraid of me.
Right! That's my babe.
[GIGGLES]
So, what's bothering you?
[CHILL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Does it involve me?
Mm-hmm.
[SQUEALS]
Then why can't you tell me?
[FATIMA] Huh?
Joseph, come on.
I will understand.
[FATIMA] You know me.
Whichever, whenever, whatever,
I will always understand!
Fatima, wait--
You don't have to worry
because I love you.
[FATIMA] Right?
Okay, I'll help you out.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Seph...
the answer is yes.
Huh?
Uh.
Seph, the answer is yes.
What do you mean?
It means I'm willing to spend
the rest of my life with you.
Fatima, wait! Wait! Wait!
You don't have to worry.
I've got savings.
That's not what I want
to ask you, okay?
There's something else
I want to tell you,
but I can't say it
because I'm afraid.
I don't know
how you will react.
Why, what do you want to ask?
Actually, I'm not asking you.
[FATIMA] What?
I'm telling you, Fatima.
- [SEPH] That...
- Yes?
- Babe?
- Yeah?
Can we...
Can we what?
Can we go our separate ways?
What?
[OLIVER] What?
Seph broke up with Fatty?
[JESSALYN] Stop it.
Don't call her that!
That's body shaming.
But she really is fat,
isn't she?
Anyway, what exactly happened?
You know, you're funny.
This is a prank, right?
This is a prank.
Oh my god. Jobert?
Come out, Jobert!
I knew it! I knew it.
You know, this isn't funny.
I don't like this, babe.
I'll get back at you.
You're ruining the mood,
not to mention the yummy food.
Fatima.
What?
I'm not joking.
So, you're really
breaking up with me?
It's not like that.
I just want us...
to go on our separate ways.
Exactly! Isn't that what you
call a breakup?!
Well, not really.
- Maybe a partial breakup?
- What?!
What do you mean
by "partial"?
Is that even a thing?
It's already 2023!
Cool-off periods are
no longer trendy!
Unless you mean
an eclipse!
What did Fatty do?
Did she make a scene?
[JESSALYN] Of course she did.
When her kitten died,
she made a huge fuss about it.
How do you think she'd react
if her boyfriend dumped her?
[FATIMA SOBBING LOUDLY]
Hey.
Hey.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
Please control yourself.
Other people are looking.
I don't care!
Hey. It's embarrassing.
If you're embarrassed,
then I'm not!
Damn it!
Don't say that.
I'll say what I want, you jerk!
Tell me, babe.
Why are you breaking up
with me?
Is it your mother?
I knew it!
Your mother doesn't like me!
Don't drag my mother into this.
She's living peacefully
in Germany.
I knew she hated me
right from the first time
I met her!
Hi, Ma!
Ma, I'd like you to meet
my girlfriend.
She's the one I was
telling you about.
Her name's Fatima.
Hi, ma'am!
Um...
Guten abend!
Freut mich, dich kennenzulernen.
That's German, Auntie. [GIGGLES]
[SEPH] My mother has nothing
to do with my decision.
Then why?
Why?!
Because you're
driving me insane!
Who? Me?
[MIMICS FATIMA] "Who? Me?"
Who else?
First of all,
you keep calling me "babe".
The truth is, you really
don't respect me.
How dare you!
How dare you say that!
I know you can speak
better English than me.
But do you really have to
let everyone know that?
Wait!
- Hey, don't--
- Oh, crap!
I told you not to move
that block!
You do it then!
Oh.
- Someone is mad.
- He must be tired from work.
Did you give your class
too many homeworks?
Babe.
[GIGGLES]
"Homework" is already plural.
It's a collective noun.
Who told you that?
It has a plural form.
- Stop insisting.
- "Homeworks" for "homework".
- And "stuffs" for "stuff"?
- Yes.
Equipments?
[LAUGHING]
Dude, she's right.
Homework is already plural.
Just like "furniture"
and "luggage".
They're all in plural form.
[FATIMA] See?
The teacher has spoken. My god!
You know, I can't
get over "stuffs".
[LAUGHING]
- [JESSALYN] You're so mean.
- Okay.
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Excuse me!
When did I ever do that?
See?
You speak English
whenever you're mad!
You're making me feel stupid!
I never do that.
I beg your pardon?
See?
You enjoy letting other people
know that I'm poor at grammar.
Is that wrong?
Are you serious?
I am the man here!
Oh, I get it now!
You're the man so you should
be smarter than me
because I am just a girl!
Can you be more sexist?
That's not my point!
Look, I can't help it!
Especially the time
when you said
the country of Dutch people
is called "Dachshund"!
I got confused!
How can you confuse
a country with a dog?!
I'm bad at geography!
Oh, --
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
There you go again.
What is it this time?!
That social media!
Why are you making
social media a big issue?
You posts everything!
On Facebook, Instagram,
even on your vlog!
Don't you want to be famous?
Famous?
You're letting
the entire cyberspace
into our personal lives!
My god!
Well, that's because
I have a lot of followers.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
"Eating ice cream
with my baby love."
- "NIEB: You look so happy."
- "MIKLOK100: How sweet."
"rICHK1D: Looks yummy, Fat!"
"#SOCUTE"
- "Munchy-munchy time!"
- "I'm jealous!"
"Looks so yummy!"
[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
[GIGGLES]
- "Hahaha! Sleep well, Seph."
- "So funny! Hahaha!"
- "Oh my! Hahaha!"
- "Look at his mouth!"
[LAUGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
Hey!
- "Hahaha! You're crazy!"
- "This is hilarious!"
- "Oh my gosh! Haha!"
- "My gosh, Fat!"
I know the real reason
you're getting tired of me.
Look, Fatima--
You're sick of me
because I'm not giving you
what you really wanted.
Because I don't want
to have sex with you!
Okay, fine! I'll admit it.
That is also one reason.
I knew it!
Damn it!
You keep saying no
even though you admitted
you're no longer a virgin.
Why?! Can't I choose who I
want to do it with?
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Hey, are you okay?
[FATIMA]
Jess, I just want to die.
Come out and let's talk
about it.
[FATIMA] No.
I really just want to die.
[FATIMA SNIFFLES, SOBS]
Okay.
Then let's discuss
more about that.
[DOOR OPENS]
[FATIMA SOBS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Aren't you done yet?
That jerk!
Just the other day
you were singing
I Won't Last a Day Without You,
and now you're cussing him out.
Do you know the reason
why he broke up with me?
Because I refused.
You refused to what?
To have sex with him.
No kidding!
[FATIMA SOBS]
You lasted this long
without sex?
Why didn't you just give in?
I wanted him to respect me.
What?
Does that mean you
felt disrespected
when you had your first sex?
No.
Then why are you making
such a big fuss?
Is it too much to ask
for him to respect me?
Well, there you go.
You got what you asked for.
[SOBBING]
Aren't you finished yet?
I'm tired. I want to go home!
I want to die!
Okay, fine! Cremation?
Or normal burial?
you! You're not helping.
you! How long are you
going to keep crying?
I'm dying right here, you .
Can you just shut up?
It's getting late!
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Fatima, are you okay?
Hang on. Are you crying?
No.
No! [CHUCKLES DRYLY]
I'm inventing a new style
of laughing.
[FAKES LAUGH] Like that.
Let's see.
The happiest night of your life
turned out differently.
He didn't ask you
to marry him, did he?
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOBS] How dare you!
I hate you all!
[FATIMA WAILING]
- I hate you!
- What the--
Um... Bennet.
What did you do to Fatsy?
I didn't do anything.
How could you do this to me?!
How can you?!
[SOBBING]
I hate you! I hate you!
You're just like your
German shepherd mother!
You jerk! you! you!
You still look cute, you jerk!
[WAILING]
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I didn't know if I
can still come back.
But I tried.
I tried to pick myself up
because...
I miss you, besties!
[SOBBING]
"BIEN CARALIAN: I thought
things were going well."
"AARON PAUL: you, Seph!"
And I know that you'll
always be there for me.
Unlike him.
"N.AUDREY: You're handsome
but evil!"
Let me tell you this...
He hurt me!
"Ipe Macalintal: What's
the address of that bastard?"
I'm sorry.
I'm done.
[IN SINGSONG VOICE]
Just you wait, you jerk.
[PHONE CHIMES]
"You may be cute,
but your personality sucks."
" you, you jerk!"
- " you!"
- "You're as ugly as your mom!"
"I'll have you killed!"
Son of a !
What the !
What is this?
"Just get a blowjob
from faggots!"
What bull did you
upload online this time??
What are you saying?
Don't deny it!
Seph called Oliver last night.
Is that so?
What did he say?
You're crazy!
Your followers are
harrassing him.
He's getting bullied on
Facebook and Twitter!
I don't know about that.
You don't know?
Your fans are bullying Seph.
Tell them to stop.
Jess, I cannot decide
for my fans.
Don't you get smart with me,
you !
What you're doing is unfair.
Fair?
Why?
Is it fair for him
to evict me from his life
without any warning?
Huh? You call that fair?!
[MOUTHING] .
[PHONE RINGING]
"Babe"
- Hey!
- What?
Answer your phone.
Oh, wait!
I need my privacy.
- But--
- Hurry up and leave.
Alright, I'll have coffee
over there.
Yes, please. Now go!
Thank you!
[SQUEALS]
What is it?
Why are you calling?
[SEPH] I just want to say--
Before anything else,
Seph, I forgive you.
What are you on about?
I forgive you!
I know you didn't mean
what you said.
But I understand if you're
emotionally unstable that night.
So yes, come back to me.
I miss you.
Say what?
Emotionally unstable?
The nerve of you to say that
after everything you did?!
If your followers don't
stop harassing me,
I will report your vlog.
Hey! Excuse me?
How dare you call
and threaten me
while I'm slaving here at work!
What were you thinking?
Do you think your followers can
make me come back to you?
- Well--
- I'm warning you.
If they don't leave me alone,
I will report your vlog.
You're a purveyor of fake news.
Hey! How dare you call me--
Hello? Hello?!
Damn it!
[FATIMA] I feel so lost.
I feel so empty.
What did I do
to deserve this?
How can he do this to me?
[SOBBING]
No, no, no! Please. No!
Besties, don't do that!
Leave him alone, okay?
Because if you hurt him,
you're also hurting me.
Hey!
Who are you talking to?
Shut up! I'm live streaming.
I dropped my phone, sorry!
I feel so down.
I cannot work anymore.
Fatsy, are you okay?
I just want to die.
Stop saying that!
What can you do about it?
- Really?
- Yes.
- You really want to die?
- Yes, why?
- Stay there.
- Okay.
Here you go.
What is this?
You want to die, right?
What the ?
What the hell is this?!
You've been blabbering
about killing yourself all day.
Why don't you just
go on with it?
Slice your neck open!
Bleed to death!
Stop that.
That's a blunt knife.
That's better so she
can feel the pain.
So it'd be more dramatic!
You know what,
you're being too harsh.
You're not a real friend.
I am real friend.
That's why I can say you're
so stupid to your face.
And all that drama
you're pulling off?
Girl, that is so old-fashioned!
No one does that anymore
in this digital age.
I really don't understand.
What--
What do I lack?
I'm cute.
Not exactly beautiful.
But unanimously voted as cute.
I'm intelligent.
I'm an influencer.
But why did he leave me?
Didn't you say it's because
you refused to have sex?
Is that all he wanted from me?!
Am I some toy to him?
Considering how wonderful,
beautiful, intelligent,
charming,
and one-of-a-kind I am?
Okay!
[SOBS]
I just want to die.
Please.
Oliver, you're a guy, right?
Can you be honest with me?
Be brutally honest.
Sure.
What's wrong with me?
- Can I answer that?
- No!
I'm asking him, not you.
Can we just talk
about this later?
No, let's talk about this now.
- Fats.
- Yes?
- I mean no offense.
- Okay.
But honestly,
it's tough being around you.
Me?
Me?
W--Why?
Honestly, you're very shallow.
Shallow?
- Like I lack depth?
- Yes, that's the meaning--
Can you just shut up?
I'm not talking to you.
Go on. Continue.
Fats, I'm really sorry,
but you're a shallow person.
Everything must be
according to you.
No.
Your opinions,
your demands,
and your suggestions.
Um, wait.
That's not true.
I don't believe you.
You're a narcissist!
You jerk!
It's true.
That's the truth.
You feel like the world
revolves around you.
That's why guys lose
interest in you.
Excuse me? I'm not like that!
I'm kind, compassionate,
and considerate.
I donate my clothes
to poor victims of calamities.
I'm a kind person.
You need to do something else
besides social media and vlogs.
You'd be more interesting
if you feed your mind too.
Wait!
Are you saying I'm stupid?
No, you're not stupid.
You're just basic.
And one more thing-
Oh, wait!
You already called me basic
and self-centered.
Are there more?
Uh, Fats...
What?
Maybe next time
when you get a boyfriend,
can you pick a guy
who has substance
instead of someone
you just met on the streets?
Try looking for someone
who has substance.
"Substance."
"Hard to get along with.
Shallow.
Narcissist.
Falls in love easily."
I've had enough.
This is too much.
I'm done with this.
It is time for me to grow.
Thanks to your prayers
and support.
I have found my strength.
And thanks to your love,
I was able to get
my dignity back.
Just like a caterpillar
in her chrysalis,
it is time to emerge.
It is time to be a butterfly.
I love you, besties!
- "You got this!"
- "He'll soon know your worth."
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Remember this, Seph...gwmw style="display:none;"/gwmw
You'll regret what you did.
Just you wait
when I've moved on.
Not only will you drool over me,
you'll also be aroused.
And you know what?
I won't care.
I simply won't care.
[FATIMA] Good morning!
[CHUCKLES]
Good morning, Fatsy! [CHUCKLES]
[FATIMA] Good morning!
Wait. Are you reading this?
Seriously?
Why? Are you also reading it?
Yes!
So, do you know
the writer of this book?
I'm not really into writers,
I'm more into books.
Oh, okay.
You may not know it,
but I'm a wide reader.
I read everything, even the
papers used to wrap fish.
I read them all.
Yeah.
Yeah!
You know, knowledge is power.
Oh crap, I lost my bookmark.
[FATIMA] You know what, besties,
I have experienced a huge
growth as a human being.
Thanks to your endless
moral support and love,
I am slowly regaining
my confidence to move on.
That is my mantra.
Move on.
Love myself more.
Because I deserve to be loved.
Meow! Meow!
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[BENNET EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Fatima, what's this?
- Hmm?
Hey!
Have you finished
the art card already?
Wait a minute.
What do you mean wait?
You're slacking!
What are you doing?
Moving on.
- Moving on?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm looking for a date.
- Date?
- Yes.
So, that's a dating app?
Wow, look at you.
You know what it is.
Are you also
using iconnect?
Of course not.
Then how did you know
that this is a dating app?
Bennet, look at this.
See?
[BENNET CHUCKLES]
Who is that?
He's a civil engineer.
Single.
See? Isn't he great?
Wait. Fatima, he's already 56.
So what? It'd be nice to have
someone mature for a change.
He seems like the
perfect package.
Wait.
Looking mature is different
from looking like a grandfather.
Hey, I bet he can still
get aroused, silly!
If you want someone new,
why are you on that dating app?
Don't you have any friends?
I have lots of friends!
But they don't know
anyone of my type.
Bennet, I want to grow.
I want to move on.
I want to evolve.
Wait.
What's your ideal guy anyway?
Someone like me.
Someone with aspirations.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
With substance.
I'm done with cute guys.
I want someone with depth.
With knowledge...
Someone who graduated
from top universities.
Someone who loves science.
Which branch of science?
It doesn't matter.
I want someone
as intelligent as me.
I think this guy
is perfect for me.
We look good together, right?
What do you think?
[CHIMES]
[CHIMES]
I guess I have truly moved on.
You know why?
Because I finally met him.
This is only the beginning.
Okay, besties.
Please, I need your prayers
because he's one of a kind.
I repeat. He's one of a kind.
He is only 27 years old,
but he's already a doctor!
Oh my god! He's a doctor.
I'm sure he is insightful,
intelligent,
God-fearing, responsible...
Oh my god! I love him already!
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA] Uh, doc?
You're Fatima?
Hi, doc, I'm so honored
to meet you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[FATIMA] Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Bless us, Oh Lord,
and these thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord, Amen!
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, this is the first
time that I met
with someone that I matched
on iconnect.
Oh gosh! Me too!
It's your first time also?
Yes. I come from
a conservative family.
That's nice.
Very strict catholic upbringing.
Hmm.
In fact, it's our tradition
to crucify the men in our family
during Holy Week in Pampanga.
Wow. [CHUCKLES]
You know, the first time
I saw your name
I was so...
How do you call that?
Attracted.
[CHUCKLES]
Wait.
I'm sorry.
You were attracted
to my name?
Siegfried.
I'm a fan of Freud.
And I like psychology.
I do believe in Freud.
[LAUGHS]
You're funny. That's witty.
What's funny?
You know that Freud's
first name is Sigmund
and not Siegfried, right?
Are you sure?
Yes.
Oh, well.
You can check on Google.
Well, anyway...
Fatima, tell me about yourself.
Actually, doc, I feel bad.
Really? Why?
I feel bad for Sudan.
You don't know
what's happening in Sudan?
Oh well! I heard-
The capital of Sudan
is Khartoum.
What do you think
is the solution
to their socio-political
situation?
Do you think it's because
of their geological position?
Does having Egypt in the north
and Libya in the northwest
have an impact or effect
in its economic stability?
[CHUCKLES] Don't worry. I'll
find the answers on Google.
Okay.
So, Dr. Siegfried,
what is your specialization?
- Well...
- Endocrinology? Orthopedic?
Pediatric? Oncology?
Cardiology?
Gynecology?
Doc, I researched
about medicine
before coming here
to meet up with you.
You know, I love research.
I enjoy it.
Okay.
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
But you do know that
I don't treat people, right?
You're not a doctor?
- ! You faked your profile?
- No, no, no, no.
Wait, I'm a doctor.
But not a doctor of medicine.
Then what?
I'm a doctor of philosophy.
I mean philosophy.
- What?
- Ph.D.
Ph--
Philosophy doc-
What?
Doctor of Philosophy
in Linguistics.
Oh, linguistics!
You know a lot of languages?
Okay.
Actually, I'm a social linguist.
A person who knows different
languages is a polyglot, so--
You're confusing me.
You said that you're a doctor.
- Yes, I'm a doctor!
- What are you talking about?
- Doctor of Philosophy.
- What is this linguistics?
I don't get it.
[JESS] So what happened?
[FATIMA] That jerk fooled me.
He was a fake!
That Siegfried isn't a doctor.
He lied to me. !
He's a doctor!
But not a doctor of medicine.
You should've clarified it first
before going on that date.
Jess, please! I don't need
to worry about those details.
A doctor is a doctor.
Not some linguist!
Did something happen?
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
Oliver, oh my god!
I'm not that kind of girl.
My god!
[JESS] She's right, Oli.
She's not that type of girl.
But she harasses her
dates on iconnect.
[GIBBERISH SOUNDS]
Hold on.
Did he show any interest?
[SIEGFRIED CHUCKLES]
And so...
Um... Thank you
for the company.
It was...
nice. [CHUCKLES]
I should be thanking you
for the dinner.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Um. So...
Do you have a ride?
Where do you live?
I'm from Taguig,
but I don't have a ride.
How about you?
I'm going home
to Bocaue.
In Bulacan?
Yes.
Oh, right!
Do you want to drop by
at my place?
I have wine. Red, white...
I have cold cuts and cheese.
Actually, I'm a bit
tired already.
- You need a massage.
- No, I'm good.
I'm good.
My house is quite far so...
How about next time?
Next time? When?
- What?
- When is next time?
[CHUCKLES]
I'll let you know.
I'll text you.
No, let's set the date now.
I'm quite busy.
Oh, then let's just have it
some other time.
- "Some other time?"
- Yes, yes.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Uh...
Oh! My ride is here.
Fatima, again,
thank you for the evening.
Yes.
It's-- Ah.
[CHUCKLES]
- It's... nice.
- Nice. [CHUCKLES]
Okay! Thank you!
Bye! Bye!
Text me!
[SIEGFRIED] Sure!
Take care.
[OLIVER] Answer my question.
Did he ask you to come
to his place?
Of course.
But I said no.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
The first thing that you
must do
is to accept yourself.
Tell yourself
that you are beautiful.
No matter what people say,
you cannot be beautiful
in their eyes
if you do not believe
in yourself
that you are beautiful.
Right?
Remember, besties,
beauty is more than skin deep.
But it is important to have
flawless skin.
Remember that, besties.
Beauty and brains!
[FATIMA] Bennet!
Bennet, wait!
What is it?
Are you making me
lose weight?
Why are you in a hurry?
Well, we're already late
for work.
We don't have anything
urgent to do today.
Can I ask you something?
[SIGHS]
What now?
Hey you, wait!
I'm wearing high heels!
I want you to be completely
honest with me.
So, what's your question?
I know that we're not that close
and I know that you're
such an honest person.
And you're very straightforward.
So, let me ask you this.
What's wrong with me?
[CHUCKLES]
Do you expect me to answer
that question?
- Mm-hmm.
- You said so yourself.
"We're not that close."
Exactly! That means
you are more objective.
You don't have any
emotional investment in me,
so you shouldn't be concerned
about me hating you afterwards.
Like you said,
"We're not that close."
Ask someone else.
How about Claudia?
I don't like her!
I hate her attitude
and her ugly face.
She's clearly jealous of me.
Oh, I know.
This isn't really
my personality.
Because, as you already know,
I'm an influencer.
And I have an image to protect.
But if I'm really harsh,
I would not have gotten
a lot of followers.
So, what do you want me to say?
The truth.
Wait.
Mmm... Yummy.
[SIGHS]
You know, maybe...
maybe you can lose
some of your weight.
Are you saying that I'm fat?
No! That's not what I'm saying.
Oh, so I'm skinny?
No way.
You're just thick. That's it.
Is that good or bad?
[SIGHS]
Well, that depends
if you like big people.
- Crap.
- Look at you.
You get upset easily.
Of course, I got upset
because you body-shamed me.
[JESSALYN]
So what if you're not skinny?
We live in the age
of inclusivity.
Plus-sized women are
widely accepted now.
[FATIMA] Hey!
Those plus-sized women
already have
around three children.
I thought you're comfortable
with your own body?
[JESSALYN] You even wore
a two-piece swimsuit
on the beach, remember?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, come on!
You're only saying that
because you are my best friend.
[JESSALYN] What?
Fatima, you know
how tactless I am.
Exactly!
Whatever. But I can't let
myself stay looking like this.
If I stay like this, no man
will ever take me seriously.
Girl, what are you saying?
Can you stop that pity party?
Jess, you're lucky.
You have small breasts.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
That hurts.
Your chest looks like that
of a 12-year-old boy
undergoing puberty.
Men respect you.
Am I right?
Is that true?
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I remember what
my father said...
when I was eleven years old
and slowly turning into a woman.
He told my mother,
"Lydia, look at Fatima.
She might have
a miserable future.
With that kind of body,
no man will ever
take her seriously."
Are you serious?
Your father said that to you?
Not to me but to my mother.
Nonetheless,
I was there in the room.
Why would he say such a thing?
Because my breasts
were already huge
at eleven years old.
You know what?
Papa was right.
Big-breasted girls like me
are rarely taken seriously.
When men look at us,
they always think
we're all hookers.
Like some dessert.
Like what? Caramel custard?
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, besties!
This is it!
The reinvention that
will end all reinventions.
Oh my god! This is it!
I am going to be reborn.
Oh, yes!
Your girl will give
to the world...
the new me.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh my god! Thank you
for your prayers and support.
This is it!
Because today marks
the start of...
Operation WOW!
[BRIGHT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[FATIMA] No pain, no gain.
Because it isn't pain
that we gain.
But when we gain,
there is pain.
That's my new mantra in life.
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
No pain, no gain.
Right?
When you feel like
you're about to give up,
just keep saying
that to yourself.
No pain, no gain.
[BOXING BELL DINGS]
Ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
What happened to you, sis?
- Nothing, sis.
- Really?
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Yeah.
Something's off
with your aura today.
[CHUCKLES] Well, I'm fine.
[CHUCKLES] Okay.
[FATIMA LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]
You're so funny
I could hit you.
[LAUGHING, SOBBING]
[GRUNTS]
Uh, Fatima, are you okay?
Yes and no.
No, because my
entire body hurts.
But yes, because
I'm suffering for beauty.
Suffering for beauty?
What do you mean?
Um...
My body's sore
after working out but--
Ouch! This part is painful.
But I have to.
Have to what?
I have to lose forty pounds.
Forty pounds? Are you serious?
Yeah!
This is Operation WOW!
Operation WOW?
Yes!
Wait until I reach my goal.
When these men look at me,
they'll scream, "Wow!"
That is why it's called
"Operation WOW?"
Yes!
Okay.
Wait, what's that?
My lunch.
Your lunch? That's it?
Yes.
I need to cut back
on my calorie intake.
Cutting back is different
from starving yourself to death.
Excuse me?
This has a scientific basis.
Really?
Then what is it called?
A mix of keto and
South Beach diet
with minimum carbs
and high protein.
Are you kidding me?
You call this high protein?
Half an egg, a tomato,
and an apple?
Operation WOW!
[CLAUDIA] That's beef.
[BENNET] Just a small piece.
- Hey, Fatima!
- Yes?
Come over here.
Claudia brought some curry.
No, thanks!
Are you sure?
You know, this is my special--
I said, no thanks!
Oh, okay!
Taste this.
Is it good?
[CLAUDIA EXCLAIMS]
[FATIMA] No pain, no gain.
You must suffer for beauty.
After all this,
you will look stunning!
I promise.
I promise.
It's important to stay
motivated and inspired.
Remember your goal;
simply be beautiful.
Ta-da!
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Fats, I have a question.
Yes?
Will that fit you?
Correction!
I will fit into this.
Okay?
- Hmm.
- Isn't that too small?
I know!
It will motivate me
to stay on my diet
and to exercise.
Then I will fit into this. Okay?
When do you think
that will happen?
2023? Or 2024?
[CHUCKLES]
Don't be skeptical!
Just support your
delusional friend!
Wow, you guys are really
getting on my nerves. [CHUCKLES]
Go ahead. Laugh all you want!
[LAUGHING]
You guys are so funny.
When the day comes
that this dress finally fits me,
- I am telling you, Jessalyn...
- What then?
- What?
- Once I fit in this dress,
every man out there
will drool over me.
Especially you, Oliver!
Not only will your jaw drop,
you will also get aroused!
Look at you
trying to steal my anaconda.
Are you sure it's an anaconda?
Well, I have seen it!
Are you a snake whisperer?
Fatima, do you want
to have lunch?
I'm on a diet, remember?
I just want to
invite you for lunch.
I am fasting
for Operation WOW!
My cousin came home
from the States.
So?
- Hey, Ben!
- I don't want--
Let's go.
[FATIMA] And in that moment,
I knew,
he has found me,
and I have found him.
[GUSHING]
By the way, this is Francis.
my cousin I was
telling you about.
Cousin?
Oh my god!
You two are really related?
- Yeah!
- Why do you seem so surprised?
I'm glad to meet you, Fatima.
Hi! Hello!
- Come on.
- Let's go!
Uh, Fatima, you might want
to join us for lunch?
- No, she--
- Sure, let's eat!
- Let's go!
- I changed my mind--
Oh! I'm sorry!
Be careful!
I feel dizzy.
- [UTENSILS CLINK]
- Delicious.
Um, is that all you're eating?
Yes. I'm carefully looking
after my food intake.
Mm.
She's on a diet.
Diet?
Why? You're not fat.
Yeah!
[FATIMA] Don't be silly!
I am a bit chubby.
That's cute to me.
Hmm?
Chubby.
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Stop it! [GIGGLES]
I might believe you.
Honestly, do you think
she's fat? Hmm?
Uh--
Well...
- Objectively speaking...
- [GIGGLES]
She is not thin.
You know what,
you're not fat.
You are thick.
Huge.
Huge and thick are
two different things!
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, can I ask something?
Why did you come here
to the Philippines?
What took you so long?
I'm doing a film.
[GASPS] OMG!
Are you an actor?
No!
He's a filmmaker.
He actually graduated
at New York Film School.
- New York City?
- Yes.
He's here to do some research
and work on his new project.
- Right, cuz?
- Mm-hmm.
Golly gee, I love films.
- Really?
- Yes!
Who's your favorite director?
Too many to mention.
I just can't name one.
Okay, let me guess.
Um...
I'm sure you love
the works of Nora Ephron.
Oh yes, I love Nora.
- Yeah.
- Those intense eyes?
Then you also love the
works of PT Anderson,
Wes Anderson?
You know Wes is my favorite.
- Really?
- He's really good, right?
Yeah! Me too!
Really?
So, what is your favorite
Wes Anderson film?
Um...
- It's at the tip of my tongue.
- Ah!
- The Grand Budapest Hotel!
- Yes! That one!
Oh my god.
That's my favorite!
He's also a mind reader,
isn't he?
- That's my cousin.
- How wonderful.
How about Asian directors?
Who's your favorite?
I am nationalistic.
So, of course I'll choose
Filipino directors.
[FRANCIS] Okay. Hmm...
Brocka,
Bernal,
Lav Diaz, Mendoza.
You know what,
I just saw a film by Bernal.
Her latest movie.
Have you seen it yet?
Um...
Are you kidding me?
It's great!
Very timely.
I hope she makes more films.
Right?
- Fatima.
- Yes?
Bernal died in the 90s.
No way! Are you sure?
Yes. I'm very sure.
What you're saying is fake news.
She even went to Sagada
recently with Piolo Pascual.
That's Joyce Bernal.
He meant Ishmael Bernal.
What? There's only one Bernal.
Your cousin is talking rubbish.
I suggest that he go out more.
He is not updated.
I have to go.
- So, I'll call you on Sunday?
- Yeah.
What's on Sunday?
Uh...
We have a family reunion at
my uncle's house in Los Baos.
- Los Baos, wow!
- Yeah.
I haven't been there
in a long time.
I love Los Baos.
We should go there and eat.
Come on, let's go.
Fatima, it's a family gathering.
- So?
- Uh...
Guys, I'll go ahead!
See you around.
Sure, just call!
Sure, Ben has
your number right?
- Yes.
- Bye, cuz. Take care!
Bye.
Bye!
Bye...
Come here.
0938-772-5772.
What's that?
My social security number.
It's my number, duh!
Give me your phone.
But I'm not asking
for your number.
But your cousin is
asking for my number.
[CHUCKLES] Give it to me!
- Here.
- Give it here!
How do you use this?
Hi, besties!
Meow, meow! [GIGGLES]
I have something to confess.
I think I found him!
[GUSHES]
Roar, roar! [LAUGHS]
[GIGGLES]
Maybe! [GIGGLES]
[JESSALYN] Who is it this time?
His name is Francis.
Francis Valeriano.
He grew up in the States.
And he has a twang.
Where did you meet him?
On iConnect?
Grindr? Facebook Match?
Or Tinder?
Grindr? Seriously?
[JESSALYN CHUCKLES]
He's the cousin of Bennet,
my workmate.
- Jess...
- Hm?
He likes me.
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
Did he tell you that?
No, I just feel it.
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
Oh, okay.
How many times
have you gone out?
We haven't.
We haven't gone on dates.
We just met once.
Oh...
I presume he's asked you out.
Right?
Not yet.
But I can feel he's interested.
He's just too shy
or embarrassed to ask me out.
What with my strong personality
and all.
Right?
I'm telling you, Jess...
He likes me.
You know what, girl?
Better stop starving yourself.
Your mind is getting foggy
due to lack of nutrients.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Let me do that.
- It's okay, I got it.
- I used to be a barista.
- No, it's okay.
- You're stirring it wrong.
[FATIMA] Benneton!
How is your cousin?
Um...
He's okay, I guess.
Oh, we have some personal
matters to discuss.
- Really?
- Can we have the room?
Okay, Bennet.
I'll talk to you more later.
Can you move it already?
- It's kind of urgent.
- Okay, fine.
[MUMBLING]
Way to ruin our moment.
As I was saying...
What is it?
Why hasn't your cousin
called me yet?
Huh?
Did he say he'd call you?
I gave you my number, didn't I?
Uh, yeah.
But I didn't give it to him.
Why didn't you give it to him?
[CHUCKLES]
He didn't ask for it.
He was asking for it,
remember?
Come on, Bennet!
I heard him ask you
if you had my number.
So, I gave it to you.
Why didn't you give it to him?!
- Wait.
- Damn it!
What's your problem?
You are my problem!
You're not helping me!
Let me get this straight.
You want my help
- to get closer to Francis.
- Yes! Keep up!
Why don't I just
give you his number
- so you could--
- No, no, no!
I'd look desperate.
- He'd think I'm cheap.
- Aren't you?
You're so desperate
to have him.
That's not the point.
So, what's the point?
It doesn't matter!
That's not the point!
I'll poison you
if you don't give it to him.
[FATIMA] Bennet, please!
Just one date!
Come on!
Why are you so against it?
Alright, alright!
Fine! I'll help you.
Happy now?
Bennet, I love you.
I love you so much!
Hey, quit being so dramatic.
But sure, I'll try my best.
- No promises, but I'll try.
- Huh?
Don't just try. Do it.
What if my cousin says no?
He'll say yes. He likes me.
I can feel it.
Your cousin likes me.
[GIGGLES] Please?
Yay! Thank you!
[FATIMA]
Guys, I'm so excited!
I can feel it.
This is really it.
The moment I met him... Bam!
I immediately knew
we're destined for each other.
You know what I mean?
Oh my god.
I got goosebumps!
[FRANCIS]
Seriously, Ben? Really?
Please! Just once, Francis.
Just one date.
- But why?
- Because she likes you.
She's crazy for you.
But I don't like her that way.
[FATIMA]
The moment our eyes met,
I knew...
...it was destiny.
I mean, do you believe
in reincarnation?
I feel like we're lovers
in our past lives
and we got reincarnated
to find each other again.
Like we'd only feel complete
once we've reunited.
[SQUEALS] Oh my god!
[GIGGLES]
[FRANCIS] Okay, okay.
For you, Ben.
For you.
[BENNET] Really? Thanks, cuz!
Look...
Just one dinner, okay?
Just dinner.
You decide the time and place.
Okay, just dinner.
Nothing more, okay?
Okay.
Why is my metabolism so slow?!
It's taking me forever
to lose weight!
[WHINING]
[FATIMA] I read somewhere
that this is effective.
Quick-loss Tea.
[JESSALYN]
Girl, there's no guarantee
that those things
you're drinking are safe.
[FATIMA]
Uh-uh. This one is safe.
It's organic. It's endorsed
by Hollywood stars.
[JESSALYN]
Like who?
[FATIMA]
Like Charlene Fullerton!
Totally legit.
Besties! Tomorrow is
the big night! [GIGGLES]
Are you excited for me?
Because I am!
I feel fresh. I feel young.
I feel so beautiful!
"BIEN CARALIAN:
You're so pretty, Fats!"
Right? [LAUGHS]
You guys should see Francis.
My gosh!
By the way, Francis and I...
will have dinner
at our favorite restaurant.
I mean, my favorite.
It's called
La Mamacita Restaurant.
Yes!
Wow, you remembered!
Thank you!
I hope you wish me luck.
Plea-
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Besties, I... have to go.
Um...
Just remember to put a smile
on your faces
and always feel loved, okay?
Um...
This is Fatsy, signing off!
I love you!
Oh crap! It hurts!
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Oh no!
O-Oh no! No!
No, no, no!
Ow! [WHINES]
Ouch! Mother--
[LOUD SPLATTERING NOISES]
[FATIMA GROANING]
[PHONE RINGING]
[FATIMA GROANING]
I'm coming!
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[FATIMA CRYING]
Goddammit! [GROANS]
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[FATIMA WHIMPERING]
[CRYING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What the hell?!
What?!
[BENNET]
Fatima?
Who is this?!
It's Bennet.
What do you want?
I just want to confirm if you're
going to your date with Francis.
Of course, I'm going.
Why is Francis not calling me?
He's a bit busy.
Wait, are you okay?
You sound different.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
What's up with your voice?
I just have
an upset stomach.
- We can cancel if--
- No!
No, no, no!
I'll be there tomo--
Ouch! Damn it!
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Okay, tell Francis
to take care.
I'll see him tomorrow.
Oh crap! Here it goes again!
I hate this!
I can't take it anymore!
[JESSALYN]
Are you done yet, Fatima?
Hurry up! Oliver and I
are running late!
What is she doing?
[FATIMA] Jess?
Jess, come here.
I need your help!
What?
Jess, can you zip me up?
I think it's stuck.
You can't wear that.
That's too small for you.
No, I can wear it.
I've already lost weight.
Are you wearing makeup?
You look so pale.
No. I'm okay.
Come on.
Are you sure you're okay?
Your lipstick's
all over the place!
And why are you
sweating so much?
I got an upset stomach
after drinking that tea. Happy?
- I warned you, didn't I?
- I lost three pounds.
- Three pounds overnight?
- Yes.
How many times did you poop?
- Around eight times.
- Since last night?
- Since this morning.
- What?!
And you're still
going out tonight?
Isn't it good that
I lost three pounds?
So come on, zip me up.
- Hurry up.
- Jess, talk to her.
Stop this nonsense, Fatima.
Look at you!
You're too pale!
I'm pale because
I have Spanish blood.
Now, don't just stand there.
Help me here.
Fatima!
Just help me with my dress!
Can't you see I'm struggling?!
Goddammit!
Okay, okay!
If you just helped me sooner
instead of standing there--
This is impossible, Fatima!
Just do it! Come on!
I'm telling you,
it's not budging!
Hey, are you sure
this is the right place?
Yes. Fatsy said it herself.
They'll meet at La Mamacita.
- What time will they be here?
- I don't know.
Hey, do you think
that's Francis?
Hmm... I don't think so.
That's not Fatsy with him.
Start recording
in case that's him.
Won't Fatsy get mad
if we filmed their date?
Nah. Think of it as
behind-the-scenes footage.
- She'll be flattered.
- Fine.
[FRANCIS] Ben, join us.
No, I can't.
Fatima might get mad at me
if I spoil your date.
Wait. Are you setting me up
with this girl?
No. It's just dinner.
Besides, I'm not asking you
to make babies with her.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi there! [GIGGLES]
Finally!
We meet again!
Thank you so much.
Whew!
Fatima, are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my god! Is that Fatima?
She looks different in person.
Start recording.
I'll go live on Facebook.
Fatima, are you sure
you're okay?
Yes, I'm very sure.
I'm just a little bit hungry.
- Oh! Fatima!
- Oh my god! Fatima!
What happened?
Hurry, stream it on Facebook!
Yes, I'm on it.
- [FRANCIS] Fatima!
- [BENNET] Fatima, wake up!
- Fatima!
- Fatima!
Hey, Fatima!
- "So dramatic!"
- "What an attention seeker!"
- "Why did she faint?"
- "Yuck! She deserves it!"
- "She's so pale!"
- "I don't buy her act!"
[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]
[JESSALYN]
Are you okay now?
You're really nuts.
[FATIMA SOBS]
I just want to die.
[SOBS, WHIMPERS]
Oh, for Pete's sake!
I heard that line
a hundred times.
None of them had conviction.
No.
I'm really serious this time.
I promise.
I swear I want to die.
My soulmate was
right in front of me.
And I made a huge mess!
[SOBS]
You're so stupid, Fatima.
You knew you were sick,
- but you still went out--
- I just want to die!
Oh, really?
Hang on. Here you go!
Kill yourself already.
You have this inside your purse?
Yes! I'm always ready.
You want to die?
Go ahead and stab yourself now.
Hurry up, girl!
You're such a sweet friend,
you know that?
Kill yourself! Now!
They captured my stupidity
on live stream!
Oh god!
[SOBBING]
[WOMAN] What happened?
Oh my gosh!
[FATIMA] All of them
criticized me!
They all left me when
I needed them the most.
I'm at my lowest point.
[FATIMA SOBBING]
[GLOOMY MUSIC PLAYING]
They're all making fun
of me, Jess.
I lost--
I lost 10,000 followers
overnight!
I hate my life.
All of their comments
and tweets...
are so harsh.
They're personally attacking me.
It's unbelievable. [SOBS]
And I was trending.
They're cursing me straight up.
They're all laughing at me.
Someone even said,
"That's what you get
when you're so ugly
and desperate for men."
No one will ever like me. [SOBS]
Oh my god!
I'll stay single forever!
Who cares?
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Do we even know
those people?
You think they care?
- They don't.
- They don't!
They don't care! [SOBBING]
[GLOOMY MUSIC CONTINUES]
Listen to me, Fatima.
[SOBBING]
Jess...
Fatima!
Get a life.
Okay?
The girl they see online
is not the real Fatima.
They don't need to know
everything
that's going on
in your life.
Jess, I'm an influencer.
Fats!
What?
Your time as an influencer
is over, okay?
Try to be real with yourself.
You might find true happiness.
[CRIES SHAKILY]
I can't--
[SOBBING]
Here's what we need to do.
If you can, like, um--
Psst.
Do you mind?
Good morning.
[CHUCKLES DRYLY]
Let's talk about
the campaign later.
Sure.
[BENNET CLEARS THROAT]
[EXHALES]
Bennet, this is for you.
For good vibes.
Uh...
Thank you.
Bennet, about what happened--
It's okay.
I hope you can tell Francis--
He said it's okay.
How did you know?
Uh...
He told me.
Bennet, maybe you could--
No.
I haven't even said anything yet
and you're saying no already?
I know what you're going to ask.
So, my answer is no.
Francis has
a girlfriend already.
He has a girlfriend?
That's what he wants me
to tell you.
Does he really
have a girlfriend?
[SIGHS]
No.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[FATIMA] Your cousin must
still be mad at me.
He's actually not mad.
Then how come he doesn't want
to meet up with me?
Maybe because of
what happened last time.
I just forced him
to go out with you.
You forced him?
But--
If I ask him again,
he might ask for
something in return.
Look...
You're okay, Fatima.
Wow! [CHUCKLES]
Are you changing the topic?
- No.
- Thanks!
No, really. You're okay.
It's just that you try
to please everybody.
You know what...
There will always be people
who won't like you.
Even if you're not doing
anything bad to them.
And happiness can't really
be measured
by the number of your
friends on Facebook,
by the number of
your followers and likes
on Instagram and Twitter,
or by the number of
your die-hard fans in your vlog.
Hang on.
You watch my vlogs?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Everyone in the office knows
and watches it.
Why do you know
so much about me?
Hm?
Because I know you
more than you know me.
Why?
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Figure it out.
You're smart, right?
Yes. Oh...
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[FATIMA]
What's wrong with me?
- You're quite shallow.
- You're a narcissist!
[JESSALYN] You think the world
revolves around you.
That's why guys
lose interest in you!
Can we go our separate ways?
[SETH] You'd be more interesting
if you feed your mind too.
The next time
you get a boyfriend,
can you pick someone
who has substance?
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Hello, besties!
I hope you're all okay.
And... yeah.
I laid low recently.
I...
I needed to think.
We all need
some alone time, right?
And I did a lot of thinking.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
And I decided...
that it is time to evolve.
Again.
It is time to grow.
And it is time to...
say goodbye to all of you.
No, no, no.
That's not true.
It's not because I don't
love you anymore, no.
It's because...
this time,
I will love myself more.
Now, you take care.
Have a real life, besties!
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[FATIMA] Hello, beshie cakes,
beshie lots, beshie pies!
This is your all-time,
one-in-a-trillion bestie,
Fatima M.,
and welcome back to my world.
This is...
The Fat Diary!
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
Are you ready for me, besties?
Are you sure?
Meow!
[EXHALES LOUDLY]
You know what, besties?
This is, like, so wild.
[CHUCKLES]
Um...
You know, I have so many
recent life events
that I really want to share
with you because, you know...
you're all my besties!
Last night...
Um...
OMG. OMG! [GIGGLES]
Wait, how do I say this?
Um...
You know, it's like...
, I'm so happy!
[GIGGLING]
Oh. Sorry for swearing.
[LAUGHS]
Sorry, sorry.
Um, okay, wait.
Press pause. Hang on.
You see, um...
[SQUEALS, GIGGLES]
Maybe you're wondering
why Fatsy is giggling like this.
And...
[GIGGLES]
You see, it feels like
an electric shock.
Like being bitten
by little ants.
Well...
This stays between you
and me, okay?
Hmm?
I think...
this is it.
Yes.
This is the moment of truth.
Last night...
I was out with my babe.
[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Babe?
[MUSIC FADING]
Babe?
Are you okay?
Mm.
Babe.
You've been quiet all night.
It's nothing. Uh...
I'm just thinking
about something.
Is it work?
Yeah, and...
other things.
Like?
[FATIMA] Right at that
very moment, I knew.
I was sure of it!
I'd been expecting
that it would happen soon,
but at that moment...
[SQUEALS]
[GIGGLES]
[SEPH] There's something
I want to tell you.
But never mind.
[WHINES]
Maybe next time.
Just say it, babe!
I'll tell you another time
when I'm ready.
[FATIMA] Okay.
Suit yourself.
You know that
I'll always understand.
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA]
I really am that girl!
[FATIMA SQUEALS, CACKLES]
[JESSALYN] Really?
Are you absolutely sure?
[FATIMA] What else
could it be?
He said he had
something to tell you,
and you think he wanted
to propose to you?
Jessalyn!
Babe and I have been together
for almost two years.
One year, 10 months,
and 27 days to be exact.
Round it off, carry one.
That's already two years!
So what?
Macoy and I have been together
for almost seven years,
but we're not talking
about marriage.
Because you don't plan
to have babies, right?
So you don't need
to get married.
What's gotten into you?
What makes you
think and assume
that your boyfriend
wants to marry you?
Jess,
I can really feel
that he truly loves me.
I feel it in my bones
that he loves me very much.
Okay.
[FATIMA] From the very first
time we met,
I've always known
that this is really it!
[FATIMA] Are you seriously
making me work
on a Saturday?
They said the deadline
is on Monday.
Hey, happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Is he wearing contacts?
Even God the Father who created
heaven and earth rested--
Oh, crap!
[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[FATIMA] Right at that moment,
I heard music.
Was there really music?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
there was.
Anyway, my wish
for all of you is...
Even once in your lifetime,
I wish you could experience
what I experienced
when I first met Seph.
[FATIMA] I'm telling you,
it's different.
We have real chemistry.
Whenever I'm next to him,
I can feel some sort
of vibration.
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Looks like I'm going to lose.
[FATIMA] And also...
you can just tell that
you're meant for each other.
[SIGHS]
It's really meant to be.
You will feel it strongly.
[FATIMA] Deep in your heart.
Babe.
Babe.
Mm?
Babe.
Can I ask something?
Mm.
Babe, you're
not listening again!
Can't you see I'm watching TV?
Okay.
What is it?
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey. Tell me.
You said you're watching, right?
So keep watching.
Come on.
Forget it!
- What is it?
- Hmph.
Just ask me.
Do you love me?
What?
I'm asking you if you love me.
Are you being serious?
Okay.
What?
I said, okay.
So you do love me?
I said okay, didn't I?
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
"Okay" is different
from "I love you."
[SIGHS]
Okay.
I love you.
No eye contact?
I love you.
Do you have more questions?
I love you, too!
[GIGGLING]
Say it again.
[SEPH SIGHS]
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
I love you.
Are you angry?
- I love you.
- Sounds fake.
I love you.
[FATIMA SQUEALING]
[GIGGLING]
[GIGGLES]
Stop it, you guys.
[FATIMA] Oh my god, besties!
You really have no idea
how happy I am!
I'm so, so happy today.
And I just really wish
that you could also experience
this happiness
that I'm feeling right now.
Because, you know, you deserve
to be happy like me!
Because you're my besties!
Meow! Meow!
[SINGING] Meow, meow, meow
Um...
Fatima?
- Fatima.
- What?
Where is the art card?
Meow meow!
- "Meow meow"?
- [SINGING] Meow, meow, meow
That's due for submission
to our client at 4PM!
You know what, Bennet?
Do not ruin my day.
Look at me, I'm so busy!
Busy with what?
You're just singing.
Can you not?
I sing when I'm busy.
[SIGHS SHARPLY]
And why are you busy?
It's personal.
Uh...
Okay.
- Okay, fine. I'll tell you!
- No, no. It's okay.
You know what?
Tonight is the big night.
[GIGGLES]
Night of what?
My boyfriend is going
to propose to me!
[SHRIEKS]
Ah.
Okay.
Um, aren't you happy for me?
[SCOFFS]
Okay.
Aren't you going
to congratulate me?
[SIGHS]
Congratulations.
Next time, you should work
on your sincerity, okay?
You jerk!
That's it! My day is ruined!
[FATIMA] I'm done!
I don't want to work anymore!
[FATIMA] Hi, beshy cakes!
Let's just wait a bit
for more viewers to join us.
Yes.
Yes, there you go!
We are going live now
here at La Mamacita Restaurant.
Courtesy of Ma'am Alice.
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate it.
Yes!
I know. My makeup is flawless.
Shout-out to my hair stylist
and makeup artist, Ina Santos.
Thank you. You're amazing!
I look beautiful tonight.
[GIGGLES]
Okay. Shout-out to Tetet Alcala
from Marikina City.
Thank you for the spring rolls
you sent me!
Thank you so much!
Don't forget to use the hashtag
#FatAndSephTheBigNight.
Okay? For your well-wishes!
Thank you so much!
[GASPS]
He's here. He's here.
Oh my god!
[FATIMA] Hi, babe!
Say hi to my besties!
Say hi to them. Come on.
Hi.
[SHRIEKS]
He's so handsome, right? Right?
Look at all these hearts!
[CACKLES]
- Fats, can you...
- Yes?
...do that later?
Oh, no! They're our friends.
We even have one
from Indonesia.
- I know, but--
- Hi! Shout-out to you!
Can you do that later, please?
Um. Okay, okay.
Um, hi, guys!
Okay. Seph and I
will have our dinner
- here at La Mamacita--
- [SEPH] Fats!
This is your one-in-a-trillion
bestie, Fatima M.!
I'll see you later, okay?
I'll check your updates.
Use the hashtag. Bye.
[SIGHS HEAVILY] There.
I'm done with my Facebook live.
[GIGGLES]
So, babe...
why did you want to have a date
here in this special restaurant?
[OLIVER] So, what
really happened?
Oh my god, Oli.
I thought their relationship
was getting serious.
I thought so, too!
And that's what
she thought, too.
So, what exactly happened?
[CHILL MUSIC PLAYING]
You're being quiet again.
It's nothing.
I'm just thinking
about something.
You're always like that.
[FATIMA] What's your deal?
You always seem distant
when we're together,
like you're in another planet.
And whenever I ask you,
you always have the same excuse.
Tell me!
[FATIMA] Is it about work?
Are your co-workers
bullying you again?
Of course not.
They're afraid of me.
Right! That's my babe.
[GIGGLES]
So, what's bothering you?
[CHILL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Does it involve me?
Mm-hmm.
[SQUEALS]
Then why can't you tell me?
[FATIMA] Huh?
Joseph, come on.
I will understand.
[FATIMA] You know me.
Whichever, whenever, whatever,
I will always understand!
Fatima, wait--
You don't have to worry
because I love you.
[FATIMA] Right?
Okay, I'll help you out.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Seph...
the answer is yes.
Huh?
Uh.
Seph, the answer is yes.
What do you mean?
It means I'm willing to spend
the rest of my life with you.
Fatima, wait! Wait! Wait!
You don't have to worry.
I've got savings.
That's not what I want
to ask you, okay?
There's something else
I want to tell you,
but I can't say it
because I'm afraid.
I don't know
how you will react.
Why, what do you want to ask?
Actually, I'm not asking you.
[FATIMA] What?
I'm telling you, Fatima.
- [SEPH] That...
- Yes?
- Babe?
- Yeah?
Can we...
Can we what?
Can we go our separate ways?
What?
[OLIVER] What?
Seph broke up with Fatty?
[JESSALYN] Stop it.
Don't call her that!
That's body shaming.
But she really is fat,
isn't she?
Anyway, what exactly happened?
You know, you're funny.
This is a prank, right?
This is a prank.
Oh my god. Jobert?
Come out, Jobert!
I knew it! I knew it.
You know, this isn't funny.
I don't like this, babe.
I'll get back at you.
You're ruining the mood,
not to mention the yummy food.
Fatima.
What?
I'm not joking.
So, you're really
breaking up with me?
It's not like that.
I just want us...
to go on our separate ways.
Exactly! Isn't that what you
call a breakup?!
Well, not really.
- Maybe a partial breakup?
- What?!
What do you mean
by "partial"?
Is that even a thing?
It's already 2023!
Cool-off periods are
no longer trendy!
Unless you mean
an eclipse!
What did Fatty do?
Did she make a scene?
[JESSALYN] Of course she did.
When her kitten died,
she made a huge fuss about it.
How do you think she'd react
if her boyfriend dumped her?
[FATIMA SOBBING LOUDLY]
Hey.
Hey.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
Please control yourself.
Other people are looking.
I don't care!
Hey. It's embarrassing.
If you're embarrassed,
then I'm not!
Damn it!
Don't say that.
I'll say what I want, you jerk!
Tell me, babe.
Why are you breaking up
with me?
Is it your mother?
I knew it!
Your mother doesn't like me!
Don't drag my mother into this.
She's living peacefully
in Germany.
I knew she hated me
right from the first time
I met her!
Hi, Ma!
Ma, I'd like you to meet
my girlfriend.
She's the one I was
telling you about.
Her name's Fatima.
Hi, ma'am!
Um...
Guten abend!
Freut mich, dich kennenzulernen.
That's German, Auntie. [GIGGLES]
[SEPH] My mother has nothing
to do with my decision.
Then why?
Why?!
Because you're
driving me insane!
Who? Me?
[MIMICS FATIMA] "Who? Me?"
Who else?
First of all,
you keep calling me "babe".
The truth is, you really
don't respect me.
How dare you!
How dare you say that!
I know you can speak
better English than me.
But do you really have to
let everyone know that?
Wait!
- Hey, don't--
- Oh, crap!
I told you not to move
that block!
You do it then!
Oh.
- Someone is mad.
- He must be tired from work.
Did you give your class
too many homeworks?
Babe.
[GIGGLES]
"Homework" is already plural.
It's a collective noun.
Who told you that?
It has a plural form.
- Stop insisting.
- "Homeworks" for "homework".
- And "stuffs" for "stuff"?
- Yes.
Equipments?
[LAUGHING]
Dude, she's right.
Homework is already plural.
Just like "furniture"
and "luggage".
They're all in plural form.
[FATIMA] See?
The teacher has spoken. My god!
You know, I can't
get over "stuffs".
[LAUGHING]
- [JESSALYN] You're so mean.
- Okay.
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Excuse me!
When did I ever do that?
See?
You speak English
whenever you're mad!
You're making me feel stupid!
I never do that.
I beg your pardon?
See?
You enjoy letting other people
know that I'm poor at grammar.
Is that wrong?
Are you serious?
I am the man here!
Oh, I get it now!
You're the man so you should
be smarter than me
because I am just a girl!
Can you be more sexist?
That's not my point!
Look, I can't help it!
Especially the time
when you said
the country of Dutch people
is called "Dachshund"!
I got confused!
How can you confuse
a country with a dog?!
I'm bad at geography!
Oh, --
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
There you go again.
What is it this time?!
That social media!
Why are you making
social media a big issue?
You posts everything!
On Facebook, Instagram,
even on your vlog!
Don't you want to be famous?
Famous?
You're letting
the entire cyberspace
into our personal lives!
My god!
Well, that's because
I have a lot of followers.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
"Eating ice cream
with my baby love."
- "NIEB: You look so happy."
- "MIKLOK100: How sweet."
"rICHK1D: Looks yummy, Fat!"
"#SOCUTE"
- "Munchy-munchy time!"
- "I'm jealous!"
"Looks so yummy!"
[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
[GIGGLES]
- "Hahaha! Sleep well, Seph."
- "So funny! Hahaha!"
- "Oh my! Hahaha!"
- "Look at his mouth!"
[LAUGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
Hey!
- "Hahaha! You're crazy!"
- "This is hilarious!"
- "Oh my gosh! Haha!"
- "My gosh, Fat!"
I know the real reason
you're getting tired of me.
Look, Fatima--
You're sick of me
because I'm not giving you
what you really wanted.
Because I don't want
to have sex with you!
Okay, fine! I'll admit it.
That is also one reason.
I knew it!
Damn it!
You keep saying no
even though you admitted
you're no longer a virgin.
Why?! Can't I choose who I
want to do it with?
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Hey, are you okay?
[FATIMA]
Jess, I just want to die.
Come out and let's talk
about it.
[FATIMA] No.
I really just want to die.
[FATIMA SNIFFLES, SOBS]
Okay.
Then let's discuss
more about that.
[DOOR OPENS]
[FATIMA SOBS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Aren't you done yet?
That jerk!
Just the other day
you were singing
I Won't Last a Day Without You,
and now you're cussing him out.
Do you know the reason
why he broke up with me?
Because I refused.
You refused to what?
To have sex with him.
No kidding!
[FATIMA SOBS]
You lasted this long
without sex?
Why didn't you just give in?
I wanted him to respect me.
What?
Does that mean you
felt disrespected
when you had your first sex?
No.
Then why are you making
such a big fuss?
Is it too much to ask
for him to respect me?
Well, there you go.
You got what you asked for.
[SOBBING]
Aren't you finished yet?
I'm tired. I want to go home!
I want to die!
Okay, fine! Cremation?
Or normal burial?
you! You're not helping.
you! How long are you
going to keep crying?
I'm dying right here, you .
Can you just shut up?
It's getting late!
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Fatima, are you okay?
Hang on. Are you crying?
No.
No! [CHUCKLES DRYLY]
I'm inventing a new style
of laughing.
[FAKES LAUGH] Like that.
Let's see.
The happiest night of your life
turned out differently.
He didn't ask you
to marry him, did he?
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOBS] How dare you!
I hate you all!
[FATIMA WAILING]
- I hate you!
- What the--
Um... Bennet.
What did you do to Fatsy?
I didn't do anything.
How could you do this to me?!
How can you?!
[SOBBING]
I hate you! I hate you!
You're just like your
German shepherd mother!
You jerk! you! you!
You still look cute, you jerk!
[WAILING]
[MOROSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I didn't know if I
can still come back.
But I tried.
I tried to pick myself up
because...
I miss you, besties!
[SOBBING]
"BIEN CARALIAN: I thought
things were going well."
"AARON PAUL: you, Seph!"
And I know that you'll
always be there for me.
Unlike him.
"N.AUDREY: You're handsome
but evil!"
Let me tell you this...
He hurt me!
"Ipe Macalintal: What's
the address of that bastard?"
I'm sorry.
I'm done.
[IN SINGSONG VOICE]
Just you wait, you jerk.
[PHONE CHIMES]
"You may be cute,
but your personality sucks."
" you, you jerk!"
- " you!"
- "You're as ugly as your mom!"
"I'll have you killed!"
Son of a !
What the !
What is this?
"Just get a blowjob
from faggots!"
What bull did you
upload online this time??
What are you saying?
Don't deny it!
Seph called Oliver last night.
Is that so?
What did he say?
You're crazy!
Your followers are
harrassing him.
He's getting bullied on
Facebook and Twitter!
I don't know about that.
You don't know?
Your fans are bullying Seph.
Tell them to stop.
Jess, I cannot decide
for my fans.
Don't you get smart with me,
you !
What you're doing is unfair.
Fair?
Why?
Is it fair for him
to evict me from his life
without any warning?
Huh? You call that fair?!
[MOUTHING] .
[PHONE RINGING]
"Babe"
- Hey!
- What?
Answer your phone.
Oh, wait!
I need my privacy.
- But--
- Hurry up and leave.
Alright, I'll have coffee
over there.
Yes, please. Now go!
Thank you!
[SQUEALS]
What is it?
Why are you calling?
[SEPH] I just want to say--
Before anything else,
Seph, I forgive you.
What are you on about?
I forgive you!
I know you didn't mean
what you said.
But I understand if you're
emotionally unstable that night.
So yes, come back to me.
I miss you.
Say what?
Emotionally unstable?
The nerve of you to say that
after everything you did?!
If your followers don't
stop harassing me,
I will report your vlog.
Hey! Excuse me?
How dare you call
and threaten me
while I'm slaving here at work!
What were you thinking?
Do you think your followers can
make me come back to you?
- Well--
- I'm warning you.
If they don't leave me alone,
I will report your vlog.
You're a purveyor of fake news.
Hey! How dare you call me--
Hello? Hello?!
Damn it!
[FATIMA] I feel so lost.
I feel so empty.
What did I do
to deserve this?
How can he do this to me?
[SOBBING]
No, no, no! Please. No!
Besties, don't do that!
Leave him alone, okay?
Because if you hurt him,
you're also hurting me.
Hey!
Who are you talking to?
Shut up! I'm live streaming.
I dropped my phone, sorry!
I feel so down.
I cannot work anymore.
Fatsy, are you okay?
I just want to die.
Stop saying that!
What can you do about it?
- Really?
- Yes.
- You really want to die?
- Yes, why?
- Stay there.
- Okay.
Here you go.
What is this?
You want to die, right?
What the ?
What the hell is this?!
You've been blabbering
about killing yourself all day.
Why don't you just
go on with it?
Slice your neck open!
Bleed to death!
Stop that.
That's a blunt knife.
That's better so she
can feel the pain.
So it'd be more dramatic!
You know what,
you're being too harsh.
You're not a real friend.
I am real friend.
That's why I can say you're
so stupid to your face.
And all that drama
you're pulling off?
Girl, that is so old-fashioned!
No one does that anymore
in this digital age.
I really don't understand.
What--
What do I lack?
I'm cute.
Not exactly beautiful.
But unanimously voted as cute.
I'm intelligent.
I'm an influencer.
But why did he leave me?
Didn't you say it's because
you refused to have sex?
Is that all he wanted from me?!
Am I some toy to him?
Considering how wonderful,
beautiful, intelligent,
charming,
and one-of-a-kind I am?
Okay!
[SOBS]
I just want to die.
Please.
Oliver, you're a guy, right?
Can you be honest with me?
Be brutally honest.
Sure.
What's wrong with me?
- Can I answer that?
- No!
I'm asking him, not you.
Can we just talk
about this later?
No, let's talk about this now.
- Fats.
- Yes?
- I mean no offense.
- Okay.
But honestly,
it's tough being around you.
Me?
Me?
W--Why?
Honestly, you're very shallow.
Shallow?
- Like I lack depth?
- Yes, that's the meaning--
Can you just shut up?
I'm not talking to you.
Go on. Continue.
Fats, I'm really sorry,
but you're a shallow person.
Everything must be
according to you.
No.
Your opinions,
your demands,
and your suggestions.
Um, wait.
That's not true.
I don't believe you.
You're a narcissist!
You jerk!
It's true.
That's the truth.
You feel like the world
revolves around you.
That's why guys lose
interest in you.
Excuse me? I'm not like that!
I'm kind, compassionate,
and considerate.
I donate my clothes
to poor victims of calamities.
I'm a kind person.
You need to do something else
besides social media and vlogs.
You'd be more interesting
if you feed your mind too.
Wait!
Are you saying I'm stupid?
No, you're not stupid.
You're just basic.
And one more thing-
Oh, wait!
You already called me basic
and self-centered.
Are there more?
Uh, Fats...
What?
Maybe next time
when you get a boyfriend,
can you pick a guy
who has substance
instead of someone
you just met on the streets?
Try looking for someone
who has substance.
"Substance."
"Hard to get along with.
Shallow.
Narcissist.
Falls in love easily."
I've had enough.
This is too much.
I'm done with this.
It is time for me to grow.
Thanks to your prayers
and support.
I have found my strength.
And thanks to your love,
I was able to get
my dignity back.
Just like a caterpillar
in her chrysalis,
it is time to emerge.
It is time to be a butterfly.
I love you, besties!
- "You got this!"
- "He'll soon know your worth."
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Remember this, Seph...gwmw style="display:none;"/gwmw
You'll regret what you did.
Just you wait
when I've moved on.
Not only will you drool over me,
you'll also be aroused.
And you know what?
I won't care.
I simply won't care.
[FATIMA] Good morning!
[CHUCKLES]
Good morning, Fatsy! [CHUCKLES]
[FATIMA] Good morning!
Wait. Are you reading this?
Seriously?
Why? Are you also reading it?
Yes!
So, do you know
the writer of this book?
I'm not really into writers,
I'm more into books.
Oh, okay.
You may not know it,
but I'm a wide reader.
I read everything, even the
papers used to wrap fish.
I read them all.
Yeah.
Yeah!
You know, knowledge is power.
Oh crap, I lost my bookmark.
[FATIMA] You know what, besties,
I have experienced a huge
growth as a human being.
Thanks to your endless
moral support and love,
I am slowly regaining
my confidence to move on.
That is my mantra.
Move on.
Love myself more.
Because I deserve to be loved.
Meow! Meow!
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
[BENNET EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Fatima, what's this?
- Hmm?
Hey!
Have you finished
the art card already?
Wait a minute.
What do you mean wait?
You're slacking!
What are you doing?
Moving on.
- Moving on?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm looking for a date.
- Date?
- Yes.
So, that's a dating app?
Wow, look at you.
You know what it is.
Are you also
using iconnect?
Of course not.
Then how did you know
that this is a dating app?
Bennet, look at this.
See?
[BENNET CHUCKLES]
Who is that?
He's a civil engineer.
Single.
See? Isn't he great?
Wait. Fatima, he's already 56.
So what? It'd be nice to have
someone mature for a change.
He seems like the
perfect package.
Wait.
Looking mature is different
from looking like a grandfather.
Hey, I bet he can still
get aroused, silly!
If you want someone new,
why are you on that dating app?
Don't you have any friends?
I have lots of friends!
But they don't know
anyone of my type.
Bennet, I want to grow.
I want to move on.
I want to evolve.
Wait.
What's your ideal guy anyway?
Someone like me.
Someone with aspirations.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
With substance.
I'm done with cute guys.
I want someone with depth.
With knowledge...
Someone who graduated
from top universities.
Someone who loves science.
Which branch of science?
It doesn't matter.
I want someone
as intelligent as me.
I think this guy
is perfect for me.
We look good together, right?
What do you think?
[CHIMES]
[CHIMES]
I guess I have truly moved on.
You know why?
Because I finally met him.
This is only the beginning.
Okay, besties.
Please, I need your prayers
because he's one of a kind.
I repeat. He's one of a kind.
He is only 27 years old,
but he's already a doctor!
Oh my god! He's a doctor.
I'm sure he is insightful,
intelligent,
God-fearing, responsible...
Oh my god! I love him already!
[GIGGLES]
[FATIMA] Uh, doc?
You're Fatima?
Hi, doc, I'm so honored
to meet you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[FATIMA] Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Bless us, Oh Lord,
and these thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord, Amen!
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, this is the first
time that I met
with someone that I matched
on iconnect.
Oh gosh! Me too!
It's your first time also?
Yes. I come from
a conservative family.
That's nice.
Very strict catholic upbringing.
Hmm.
In fact, it's our tradition
to crucify the men in our family
during Holy Week in Pampanga.
Wow. [CHUCKLES]
You know, the first time
I saw your name
I was so...
How do you call that?
Attracted.
[CHUCKLES]
Wait.
I'm sorry.
You were attracted
to my name?
Siegfried.
I'm a fan of Freud.
And I like psychology.
I do believe in Freud.
[LAUGHS]
You're funny. That's witty.
What's funny?
You know that Freud's
first name is Sigmund
and not Siegfried, right?
Are you sure?
Yes.
Oh, well.
You can check on Google.
Well, anyway...
Fatima, tell me about yourself.
Actually, doc, I feel bad.
Really? Why?
I feel bad for Sudan.
You don't know
what's happening in Sudan?
Oh well! I heard-
The capital of Sudan
is Khartoum.
What do you think
is the solution
to their socio-political
situation?
Do you think it's because
of their geological position?
Does having Egypt in the north
and Libya in the northwest
have an impact or effect
in its economic stability?
[CHUCKLES] Don't worry. I'll
find the answers on Google.
Okay.
So, Dr. Siegfried,
what is your specialization?
- Well...
- Endocrinology? Orthopedic?
Pediatric? Oncology?
Cardiology?
Gynecology?
Doc, I researched
about medicine
before coming here
to meet up with you.
You know, I love research.
I enjoy it.
Okay.
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
But you do know that
I don't treat people, right?
You're not a doctor?
- ! You faked your profile?
- No, no, no, no.
Wait, I'm a doctor.
But not a doctor of medicine.
Then what?
I'm a doctor of philosophy.
I mean philosophy.
- What?
- Ph.D.
Ph--
Philosophy doc-
What?
Doctor of Philosophy
in Linguistics.
Oh, linguistics!
You know a lot of languages?
Okay.
Actually, I'm a social linguist.
A person who knows different
languages is a polyglot, so--
You're confusing me.
You said that you're a doctor.
- Yes, I'm a doctor!
- What are you talking about?
- Doctor of Philosophy.
- What is this linguistics?
I don't get it.
[JESS] So what happened?
[FATIMA] That jerk fooled me.
He was a fake!
That Siegfried isn't a doctor.
He lied to me. !
He's a doctor!
But not a doctor of medicine.
You should've clarified it first
before going on that date.
Jess, please! I don't need
to worry about those details.
A doctor is a doctor.
Not some linguist!
Did something happen?
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
Oliver, oh my god!
I'm not that kind of girl.
My god!
[JESS] She's right, Oli.
She's not that type of girl.
But she harasses her
dates on iconnect.
[GIBBERISH SOUNDS]
Hold on.
Did he show any interest?
[SIEGFRIED CHUCKLES]
And so...
Um... Thank you
for the company.
It was...
nice. [CHUCKLES]
I should be thanking you
for the dinner.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Um. So...
Do you have a ride?
Where do you live?
I'm from Taguig,
but I don't have a ride.
How about you?
I'm going home
to Bocaue.
In Bulacan?
Yes.
Oh, right!
Do you want to drop by
at my place?
I have wine. Red, white...
I have cold cuts and cheese.
Actually, I'm a bit
tired already.
- You need a massage.
- No, I'm good.
I'm good.
My house is quite far so...
How about next time?
Next time? When?
- What?
- When is next time?
[CHUCKLES]
I'll let you know.
I'll text you.
No, let's set the date now.
I'm quite busy.
Oh, then let's just have it
some other time.
- "Some other time?"
- Yes, yes.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Uh...
Oh! My ride is here.
Fatima, again,
thank you for the evening.
Yes.
It's-- Ah.
[CHUCKLES]
- It's... nice.
- Nice. [CHUCKLES]
Okay! Thank you!
Bye! Bye!
Text me!
[SIEGFRIED] Sure!
Take care.
[OLIVER] Answer my question.
Did he ask you to come
to his place?
Of course.
But I said no.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
The first thing that you
must do
is to accept yourself.
Tell yourself
that you are beautiful.
No matter what people say,
you cannot be beautiful
in their eyes
if you do not believe
in yourself
that you are beautiful.
Right?
Remember, besties,
beauty is more than skin deep.
But it is important to have
flawless skin.
Remember that, besties.
Beauty and brains!
[FATIMA] Bennet!
Bennet, wait!
What is it?
Are you making me
lose weight?
Why are you in a hurry?
Well, we're already late
for work.
We don't have anything
urgent to do today.
Can I ask you something?
[SIGHS]
What now?
Hey you, wait!
I'm wearing high heels!
I want you to be completely
honest with me.
So, what's your question?
I know that we're not that close
and I know that you're
such an honest person.
And you're very straightforward.
So, let me ask you this.
What's wrong with me?
[CHUCKLES]
Do you expect me to answer
that question?
- Mm-hmm.
- You said so yourself.
"We're not that close."
Exactly! That means
you are more objective.
You don't have any
emotional investment in me,
so you shouldn't be concerned
about me hating you afterwards.
Like you said,
"We're not that close."
Ask someone else.
How about Claudia?
I don't like her!
I hate her attitude
and her ugly face.
She's clearly jealous of me.
Oh, I know.
This isn't really
my personality.
Because, as you already know,
I'm an influencer.
And I have an image to protect.
But if I'm really harsh,
I would not have gotten
a lot of followers.
So, what do you want me to say?
The truth.
Wait.
Mmm... Yummy.
[SIGHS]
You know, maybe...
maybe you can lose
some of your weight.
Are you saying that I'm fat?
No! That's not what I'm saying.
Oh, so I'm skinny?
No way.
You're just thick. That's it.
Is that good or bad?
[SIGHS]
Well, that depends
if you like big people.
- Crap.
- Look at you.
You get upset easily.
Of course, I got upset
because you body-shamed me.
[JESSALYN]
So what if you're not skinny?
We live in the age
of inclusivity.
Plus-sized women are
widely accepted now.
[FATIMA] Hey!
Those plus-sized women
already have
around three children.
I thought you're comfortable
with your own body?
[JESSALYN] You even wore
a two-piece swimsuit
on the beach, remember?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, come on!
You're only saying that
because you are my best friend.
[JESSALYN] What?
Fatima, you know
how tactless I am.
Exactly!
Whatever. But I can't let
myself stay looking like this.
If I stay like this, no man
will ever take me seriously.
Girl, what are you saying?
Can you stop that pity party?
Jess, you're lucky.
You have small breasts.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
That hurts.
Your chest looks like that
of a 12-year-old boy
undergoing puberty.
Men respect you.
Am I right?
Is that true?
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I remember what
my father said...
when I was eleven years old
and slowly turning into a woman.
He told my mother,
"Lydia, look at Fatima.
She might have
a miserable future.
With that kind of body,
no man will ever
take her seriously."
Are you serious?
Your father said that to you?
Not to me but to my mother.
Nonetheless,
I was there in the room.
Why would he say such a thing?
Because my breasts
were already huge
at eleven years old.
You know what?
Papa was right.
Big-breasted girls like me
are rarely taken seriously.
When men look at us,
they always think
we're all hookers.
Like some dessert.
Like what? Caramel custard?
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, besties!
This is it!
The reinvention that
will end all reinventions.
Oh my god! This is it!
I am going to be reborn.
Oh, yes!
Your girl will give
to the world...
the new me.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh my god! Thank you
for your prayers and support.
This is it!
Because today marks
the start of...
Operation WOW!
[BRIGHT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[FATIMA] No pain, no gain.
Because it isn't pain
that we gain.
But when we gain,
there is pain.
That's my new mantra in life.
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
No pain, no gain.
Right?
When you feel like
you're about to give up,
just keep saying
that to yourself.
No pain, no gain.
[BOXING BELL DINGS]
Ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
What happened to you, sis?
- Nothing, sis.
- Really?
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Yeah.
Something's off
with your aura today.
[CHUCKLES] Well, I'm fine.
[CHUCKLES] Okay.
[FATIMA LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]
You're so funny
I could hit you.
[LAUGHING, SOBBING]
[GRUNTS]
Uh, Fatima, are you okay?
Yes and no.
No, because my
entire body hurts.
But yes, because
I'm suffering for beauty.
Suffering for beauty?
What do you mean?
Um...
My body's sore
after working out but--
Ouch! This part is painful.
But I have to.
Have to what?
I have to lose forty pounds.
Forty pounds? Are you serious?
Yeah!
This is Operation WOW!
Operation WOW?
Yes!
Wait until I reach my goal.
When these men look at me,
they'll scream, "Wow!"
That is why it's called
"Operation WOW?"
Yes!
Okay.
Wait, what's that?
My lunch.
Your lunch? That's it?
Yes.
I need to cut back
on my calorie intake.
Cutting back is different
from starving yourself to death.
Excuse me?
This has a scientific basis.
Really?
Then what is it called?
A mix of keto and
South Beach diet
with minimum carbs
and high protein.
Are you kidding me?
You call this high protein?
Half an egg, a tomato,
and an apple?
Operation WOW!
[CLAUDIA] That's beef.
[BENNET] Just a small piece.
- Hey, Fatima!
- Yes?
Come over here.
Claudia brought some curry.
No, thanks!
Are you sure?
You know, this is my special--
I said, no thanks!
Oh, okay!
Taste this.
Is it good?
[CLAUDIA EXCLAIMS]
[FATIMA] No pain, no gain.
You must suffer for beauty.
After all this,
you will look stunning!
I promise.
I promise.
It's important to stay
motivated and inspired.
Remember your goal;
simply be beautiful.
Ta-da!
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Fats, I have a question.
Yes?
Will that fit you?
Correction!
I will fit into this.
Okay?
- Hmm.
- Isn't that too small?
I know!
It will motivate me
to stay on my diet
and to exercise.
Then I will fit into this. Okay?
When do you think
that will happen?
2023? Or 2024?
[CHUCKLES]
Don't be skeptical!
Just support your
delusional friend!
Wow, you guys are really
getting on my nerves. [CHUCKLES]
Go ahead. Laugh all you want!
[LAUGHING]
You guys are so funny.
When the day comes
that this dress finally fits me,
- I am telling you, Jessalyn...
- What then?
- What?
- Once I fit in this dress,
every man out there
will drool over me.
Especially you, Oliver!
Not only will your jaw drop,
you will also get aroused!
Look at you
trying to steal my anaconda.
Are you sure it's an anaconda?
Well, I have seen it!
Are you a snake whisperer?
Fatima, do you want
to have lunch?
I'm on a diet, remember?
I just want to
invite you for lunch.
I am fasting
for Operation WOW!
My cousin came home
from the States.
So?
- Hey, Ben!
- I don't want--
Let's go.
[FATIMA] And in that moment,
I knew,
he has found me,
and I have found him.
[GUSHING]
By the way, this is Francis.
my cousin I was
telling you about.
Cousin?
Oh my god!
You two are really related?
- Yeah!
- Why do you seem so surprised?
I'm glad to meet you, Fatima.
Hi! Hello!
- Come on.
- Let's go!
Uh, Fatima, you might want
to join us for lunch?
- No, she--
- Sure, let's eat!
- Let's go!
- I changed my mind--
Oh! I'm sorry!
Be careful!
I feel dizzy.
- [UTENSILS CLINK]
- Delicious.
Um, is that all you're eating?
Yes. I'm carefully looking
after my food intake.
Mm.
She's on a diet.
Diet?
Why? You're not fat.
Yeah!
[FATIMA] Don't be silly!
I am a bit chubby.
That's cute to me.
Hmm?
Chubby.
[FATIMA GIGGLES]
Stop it! [GIGGLES]
I might believe you.
Honestly, do you think
she's fat? Hmm?
Uh--
Well...
- Objectively speaking...
- [GIGGLES]
She is not thin.
You know what,
you're not fat.
You are thick.
Huge.
Huge and thick are
two different things!
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, can I ask something?
Why did you come here
to the Philippines?
What took you so long?
I'm doing a film.
[GASPS] OMG!
Are you an actor?
No!
He's a filmmaker.
He actually graduated
at New York Film School.
- New York City?
- Yes.
He's here to do some research
and work on his new project.
- Right, cuz?
- Mm-hmm.
Golly gee, I love films.
- Really?
- Yes!
Who's your favorite director?
Too many to mention.
I just can't name one.
Okay, let me guess.
Um...
I'm sure you love
the works of Nora Ephron.
Oh yes, I love Nora.
- Yeah.
- Those intense eyes?
Then you also love the
works of PT Anderson,
Wes Anderson?
You know Wes is my favorite.
- Really?
- He's really good, right?
Yeah! Me too!
Really?
So, what is your favorite
Wes Anderson film?
Um...
- It's at the tip of my tongue.
- Ah!
- The Grand Budapest Hotel!
- Yes! That one!
Oh my god.
That's my favorite!
He's also a mind reader,
isn't he?
- That's my cousin.
- How wonderful.
How about Asian directors?
Who's your favorite?
I am nationalistic.
So, of course I'll choose
Filipino directors.
[FRANCIS] Okay. Hmm...
Brocka,
Bernal,
Lav Diaz, Mendoza.
You know what,
I just saw a film by Bernal.
Her latest movie.
Have you seen it yet?
Um...
Are you kidding me?
It's great!
Very timely.
I hope she makes more films.
Right?
- Fatima.
- Yes?
Bernal died in the 90s.
No way! Are you sure?
Yes. I'm very sure.
What you're saying is fake news.
She even went to Sagada
recently with Piolo Pascual.
That's Joyce Bernal.
He meant Ishmael Bernal.
What? There's only one Bernal.
Your cousin is talking rubbish.
I suggest that he go out more.
He is not updated.
I have to go.
- So, I'll call you on Sunday?
- Yeah.
What's on Sunday?
Uh...
We have a family reunion at
my uncle's house in Los Baos.
- Los Baos, wow!
- Yeah.
I haven't been there
in a long time.
I love Los Baos.
We should go there and eat.
Come on, let's go.
Fatima, it's a family gathering.
- So?
- Uh...
Guys, I'll go ahead!
See you around.
Sure, just call!
Sure, Ben has
your number right?
- Yes.
- Bye, cuz. Take care!
Bye.
Bye!
Bye...
Come here.
0938-772-5772.
What's that?
My social security number.
It's my number, duh!
Give me your phone.
But I'm not asking
for your number.
But your cousin is
asking for my number.
[CHUCKLES] Give it to me!
- Here.
- Give it here!
How do you use this?
Hi, besties!
Meow, meow! [GIGGLES]
I have something to confess.
I think I found him!
[GUSHES]
Roar, roar! [LAUGHS]
[GIGGLES]
Maybe! [GIGGLES]
[JESSALYN] Who is it this time?
His name is Francis.
Francis Valeriano.
He grew up in the States.
And he has a twang.
Where did you meet him?
On iConnect?
Grindr? Facebook Match?
Or Tinder?
Grindr? Seriously?
[JESSALYN CHUCKLES]
He's the cousin of Bennet,
my workmate.
- Jess...
- Hm?
He likes me.
[FATIMA CHUCKLES]
Did he tell you that?
No, I just feel it.
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
Oh, okay.
How many times
have you gone out?
We haven't.
We haven't gone on dates.
We just met once.
Oh...
I presume he's asked you out.
Right?
Not yet.
But I can feel he's interested.
He's just too shy
or embarrassed to ask me out.
What with my strong personality
and all.
Right?
I'm telling you, Jess...
He likes me.
You know what, girl?
Better stop starving yourself.
Your mind is getting foggy
due to lack of nutrients.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Let me do that.
- It's okay, I got it.
- I used to be a barista.
- No, it's okay.
- You're stirring it wrong.
[FATIMA] Benneton!
How is your cousin?
Um...
He's okay, I guess.
Oh, we have some personal
matters to discuss.
- Really?
- Can we have the room?
Okay, Bennet.
I'll talk to you more later.
Can you move it already?
- It's kind of urgent.
- Okay, fine.
[MUMBLING]
Way to ruin our moment.
As I was saying...
What is it?
Why hasn't your cousin
called me yet?
Huh?
Did he say he'd call you?
I gave you my number, didn't I?
Uh, yeah.
But I didn't give it to him.
Why didn't you give it to him?
[CHUCKLES]
He didn't ask for it.
He was asking for it,
remember?
Come on, Bennet!
I heard him ask you
if you had my number.
So, I gave it to you.
Why didn't you give it to him?!
- Wait.
- Damn it!
What's your problem?
You are my problem!
You're not helping me!
Let me get this straight.
You want my help
- to get closer to Francis.
- Yes! Keep up!
Why don't I just
give you his number
- so you could--
- No, no, no!
I'd look desperate.
- He'd think I'm cheap.
- Aren't you?
You're so desperate
to have him.
That's not the point.
So, what's the point?
It doesn't matter!
That's not the point!
I'll poison you
if you don't give it to him.
[FATIMA] Bennet, please!
Just one date!
Come on!
Why are you so against it?
Alright, alright!
Fine! I'll help you.
Happy now?
Bennet, I love you.
I love you so much!
Hey, quit being so dramatic.
But sure, I'll try my best.
- No promises, but I'll try.
- Huh?
Don't just try. Do it.
What if my cousin says no?
He'll say yes. He likes me.
I can feel it.
Your cousin likes me.
[GIGGLES] Please?
Yay! Thank you!
[FATIMA]
Guys, I'm so excited!
I can feel it.
This is really it.
The moment I met him... Bam!
I immediately knew
we're destined for each other.
You know what I mean?
Oh my god.
I got goosebumps!
[FRANCIS]
Seriously, Ben? Really?
Please! Just once, Francis.
Just one date.
- But why?
- Because she likes you.
She's crazy for you.
But I don't like her that way.
[FATIMA]
The moment our eyes met,
I knew...
...it was destiny.
I mean, do you believe
in reincarnation?
I feel like we're lovers
in our past lives
and we got reincarnated
to find each other again.
Like we'd only feel complete
once we've reunited.
[SQUEALS] Oh my god!
[GIGGLES]
[FRANCIS] Okay, okay.
For you, Ben.
For you.
[BENNET] Really? Thanks, cuz!
Look...
Just one dinner, okay?
Just dinner.
You decide the time and place.
Okay, just dinner.
Nothing more, okay?
Okay.
Why is my metabolism so slow?!
It's taking me forever
to lose weight!
[WHINING]
[FATIMA] I read somewhere
that this is effective.
Quick-loss Tea.
[JESSALYN]
Girl, there's no guarantee
that those things
you're drinking are safe.
[FATIMA]
Uh-uh. This one is safe.
It's organic. It's endorsed
by Hollywood stars.
[JESSALYN]
Like who?
[FATIMA]
Like Charlene Fullerton!
Totally legit.
Besties! Tomorrow is
the big night! [GIGGLES]
Are you excited for me?
Because I am!
I feel fresh. I feel young.
I feel so beautiful!
"BIEN CARALIAN:
You're so pretty, Fats!"
Right? [LAUGHS]
You guys should see Francis.
My gosh!
By the way, Francis and I...
will have dinner
at our favorite restaurant.
I mean, my favorite.
It's called
La Mamacita Restaurant.
Yes!
Wow, you remembered!
Thank you!
I hope you wish me luck.
Plea-
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Besties, I... have to go.
Um...
Just remember to put a smile
on your faces
and always feel loved, okay?
Um...
This is Fatsy, signing off!
I love you!
Oh crap! It hurts!
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Oh no!
O-Oh no! No!
No, no, no!
Ow! [WHINES]
Ouch! Mother--
[LOUD SPLATTERING NOISES]
[FATIMA GROANING]
[PHONE RINGING]
[FATIMA GROANING]
I'm coming!
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[FATIMA CRYING]
Goddammit! [GROANS]
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[FATIMA WHIMPERING]
[CRYING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What the hell?!
What?!
[BENNET]
Fatima?
Who is this?!
It's Bennet.
What do you want?
I just want to confirm if you're
going to your date with Francis.
Of course, I'm going.
Why is Francis not calling me?
He's a bit busy.
Wait, are you okay?
You sound different.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
What's up with your voice?
I just have
an upset stomach.
- We can cancel if--
- No!
No, no, no!
I'll be there tomo--
Ouch! Damn it!
[STOMACH GROWLS]
Okay, tell Francis
to take care.
I'll see him tomorrow.
Oh crap! Here it goes again!
I hate this!
I can't take it anymore!
[JESSALYN]
Are you done yet, Fatima?
Hurry up! Oliver and I
are running late!
What is she doing?
[FATIMA] Jess?
Jess, come here.
I need your help!
What?
Jess, can you zip me up?
I think it's stuck.
You can't wear that.
That's too small for you.
No, I can wear it.
I've already lost weight.
Are you wearing makeup?
You look so pale.
No. I'm okay.
Come on.
Are you sure you're okay?
Your lipstick's
all over the place!
And why are you
sweating so much?
I got an upset stomach
after drinking that tea. Happy?
- I warned you, didn't I?
- I lost three pounds.
- Three pounds overnight?
- Yes.
How many times did you poop?
- Around eight times.
- Since last night?
- Since this morning.
- What?!
And you're still
going out tonight?
Isn't it good that
I lost three pounds?
So come on, zip me up.
- Hurry up.
- Jess, talk to her.
Stop this nonsense, Fatima.
Look at you!
You're too pale!
I'm pale because
I have Spanish blood.
Now, don't just stand there.
Help me here.
Fatima!
Just help me with my dress!
Can't you see I'm struggling?!
Goddammit!
Okay, okay!
If you just helped me sooner
instead of standing there--
This is impossible, Fatima!
Just do it! Come on!
I'm telling you,
it's not budging!
Hey, are you sure
this is the right place?
Yes. Fatsy said it herself.
They'll meet at La Mamacita.
- What time will they be here?
- I don't know.
Hey, do you think
that's Francis?
Hmm... I don't think so.
That's not Fatsy with him.
Start recording
in case that's him.
Won't Fatsy get mad
if we filmed their date?
Nah. Think of it as
behind-the-scenes footage.
- She'll be flattered.
- Fine.
[FRANCIS] Ben, join us.
No, I can't.
Fatima might get mad at me
if I spoil your date.
Wait. Are you setting me up
with this girl?
No. It's just dinner.
Besides, I'm not asking you
to make babies with her.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi there! [GIGGLES]
Finally!
We meet again!
Thank you so much.
Whew!
Fatima, are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my god! Is that Fatima?
She looks different in person.
Start recording.
I'll go live on Facebook.
Fatima, are you sure
you're okay?
Yes, I'm very sure.
I'm just a little bit hungry.
- Oh! Fatima!
- Oh my god! Fatima!
What happened?
Hurry, stream it on Facebook!
Yes, I'm on it.
- [FRANCIS] Fatima!
- [BENNET] Fatima, wake up!
- Fatima!
- Fatima!
Hey, Fatima!
- "So dramatic!"
- "What an attention seeker!"
- "Why did she faint?"
- "Yuck! She deserves it!"
- "She's so pale!"
- "I don't buy her act!"
[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]
[JESSALYN]
Are you okay now?
You're really nuts.
[FATIMA SOBS]
I just want to die.
[SOBS, WHIMPERS]
Oh, for Pete's sake!
I heard that line
a hundred times.
None of them had conviction.
No.
I'm really serious this time.
I promise.
I swear I want to die.
My soulmate was
right in front of me.
And I made a huge mess!
[SOBS]
You're so stupid, Fatima.
You knew you were sick,
- but you still went out--
- I just want to die!
Oh, really?
Hang on. Here you go!
Kill yourself already.
You have this inside your purse?
Yes! I'm always ready.
You want to die?
Go ahead and stab yourself now.
Hurry up, girl!
You're such a sweet friend,
you know that?
Kill yourself! Now!
They captured my stupidity
on live stream!
Oh god!
[SOBBING]
[WOMAN] What happened?
Oh my gosh!
[FATIMA] All of them
criticized me!
They all left me when
I needed them the most.
I'm at my lowest point.
[FATIMA SOBBING]
[GLOOMY MUSIC PLAYING]
They're all making fun
of me, Jess.
I lost--
I lost 10,000 followers
overnight!
I hate my life.
All of their comments
and tweets...
are so harsh.
They're personally attacking me.
It's unbelievable. [SOBS]
And I was trending.
They're cursing me straight up.
They're all laughing at me.
Someone even said,
"That's what you get
when you're so ugly
and desperate for men."
No one will ever like me. [SOBS]
Oh my god!
I'll stay single forever!
Who cares?
[FATIMA SOBBING]
Do we even know
those people?
You think they care?
- They don't.
- They don't!
They don't care! [SOBBING]
[GLOOMY MUSIC CONTINUES]
Listen to me, Fatima.
[SOBBING]
Jess...
Fatima!
Get a life.
Okay?
The girl they see online
is not the real Fatima.
They don't need to know
everything
that's going on
in your life.
Jess, I'm an influencer.
Fats!
What?
Your time as an influencer
is over, okay?
Try to be real with yourself.
You might find true happiness.
[CRIES SHAKILY]
I can't--
[SOBBING]
Here's what we need to do.
If you can, like, um--
Psst.
Do you mind?
Good morning.
[CHUCKLES DRYLY]
Let's talk about
the campaign later.
Sure.
[BENNET CLEARS THROAT]
[EXHALES]
Bennet, this is for you.
For good vibes.
Uh...
Thank you.
Bennet, about what happened--
It's okay.
I hope you can tell Francis--
He said it's okay.
How did you know?
Uh...
He told me.
Bennet, maybe you could--
No.
I haven't even said anything yet
and you're saying no already?
I know what you're going to ask.
So, my answer is no.
Francis has
a girlfriend already.
He has a girlfriend?
That's what he wants me
to tell you.
Does he really
have a girlfriend?
[SIGHS]
No.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[FATIMA] Your cousin must
still be mad at me.
He's actually not mad.
Then how come he doesn't want
to meet up with me?
Maybe because of
what happened last time.
I just forced him
to go out with you.
You forced him?
But--
If I ask him again,
he might ask for
something in return.
Look...
You're okay, Fatima.
Wow! [CHUCKLES]
Are you changing the topic?
- No.
- Thanks!
No, really. You're okay.
It's just that you try
to please everybody.
You know what...
There will always be people
who won't like you.
Even if you're not doing
anything bad to them.
And happiness can't really
be measured
by the number of your
friends on Facebook,
by the number of
your followers and likes
on Instagram and Twitter,
or by the number of
your die-hard fans in your vlog.
Hang on.
You watch my vlogs?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Everyone in the office knows
and watches it.
Why do you know
so much about me?
Hm?
Because I know you
more than you know me.
Why?
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Figure it out.
You're smart, right?
Yes. Oh...
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[FATIMA]
What's wrong with me?
- You're quite shallow.
- You're a narcissist!
[JESSALYN] You think the world
revolves around you.
That's why guys
lose interest in you!
Can we go our separate ways?
[SETH] You'd be more interesting
if you feed your mind too.
The next time
you get a boyfriend,
can you pick someone
who has substance?
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
Hello, besties!
I hope you're all okay.
And... yeah.
I laid low recently.
I...
I needed to think.
We all need
some alone time, right?
And I did a lot of thinking.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
And I decided...
that it is time to evolve.
Again.
It is time to grow.
And it is time to...
say goodbye to all of you.
No, no, no.
That's not true.
It's not because I don't
love you anymore, no.
It's because...
this time,
I will love myself more.
Now, you take care.
Have a real life, besties!
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
