Malagkit (2025) Movie Script
Love.
That was quick.
Of course.
You sold out already?
Of course, because its delicious.
Perfect timing. Ive got more
ready for you to sell.
How about...
a little reward first?
Later tonight...
I still need to finish this.
Then lets...
Wait.
I have to close the door.
Wait, not there.
Ma'am Mindys arriving later.
Che, my love,
I love you so much.
I love you so much, too.
Just a bit more saving,
and I can buy you a real ring.
Didnt I tell you,
Im happy with what we have.
Whatever.
You cant stop me.
Babe?
Is it okay if I put our engagement ring
away for now?
Thats fine, babe.
Its up to you.
Sorry... its just so flashy.
You know how it is
where were staying,
the life here is very poor and sad.
We should be considerate, right?
We wouldnt want them getting envious,
since they cant afford it.
And it might get stolen.
Its scary.
But don't worry, I'll still bring it,
I'll just hide it in my bag.
I don't get your idea, babe.
Why do we even need to stay with Che?
Babe, its for immersion.
Part of the vow, remember?
"For richer and for...?
- Poorer.
- Thats right!
So we need to experience "for poorer"
before the wedding.
So does that mean we also need
to experience "till death do us part"?
Is that immersion too?
You're so funny, babe.
Thats what I love about you.
But babe, does it really have to be
a whole week?
Please? Just one week.
Okay, okay. Youre like this because
you know Ill do anything for you.
Well... thats why I love you so much.
Careful.
- Watch your step.
- My gosh!
I need a break.
Are we getting close?
Just keep going. Where the hell are we?
I dont know where
we are, Ive lost signal.
Youre the one whos familiar here.
- My feet hurts.
- Babe, where are we?
Hold up, Ill get these... What?
Che!
My nanny for so many years!
My baby for so many years!
Hi, Sir Renald.
- Come on, lets head inside.
- Lets go.
- How are you, Maam Mindy?
- Great!
- Ive missed you...
- Your place is really far.
Ma'am, I told you,
this house is really small.
No, dont worry. This is fine.
This is perfect...
for the experience, right babe?
You're sure? Sir? Maam?
Of course.
Anyway, the cooking area is right outside,
and we eat right over here.
I stacked up the chairs
to save more space.
Around the back is the bathroom.
- Its also outside?
- Yes, Maam.
I'm surprised Mindy convinced you, Che.
To be honest, sir,
I was really shy when
Ma'am Mindy messaged me.
But youve helped us a lot,
so this favor isn't a big deal.
No need to mention it, Che.
Youre like family.
And don't worry, whatever you need,
were here to help.
Consider it payment for letting us
stay here. Right, babe?
Mm-hmm.
- By the way, wheres Aldrus?
- He should be home soon.
Let me show you your room first.
Youll be staying here.
Sorry, Ma'am, it's a bit cramped
but Ive already cleaned these.
It's okay. And since we're all
staying together here,
drop the "Ma'am" for now, okay?
M... Mindy.
Love?
- Love?
- Heres your... Love!
- Maam Mindys here.
- Oh.
Ah... Aldrus... hello!
Ma'am, how are you?
So, when are you driving us again?
Sorry, Maam... Im not used to it anymore.
I ride something else now.
Stop it.
What? We always ride
tricycles here, right?
Ugh! Signal please!
Theres no signal here in the countryside.
Oh...
Is that why your replies
are two days delayed?
Unlike before, in just two seconds
youre already there.
Sorry, Maam, if I decided to leave.
Aldrus and I just really like it here.
Theres plenty of things we can do here
with just the two of us.
Like what?
Youll know it when you get married.
Congrats, anyway.
Hey.
Why dont you look happy?
No, no... Im fine. Its just...
Were here for the experience, right?
I really look up to you and Aldrus.
We all lived together in my house,
now youre here.
And everything is all fine.
Im just amazed on how
you guys can live like this.
Because you know Renald,
weve been together for so many years,
and I only got to see his rich side.
If hes going to be my husband,
I want him to know how to live,
as in live!
Like this, like you.
Even if life is hard, youre all okay.
So, I want him to know himself more.
I want us to know ourselves more.
So this... This is perfect!
Oh, by the way, here.
- You dont have to.
- No, take it. Here.
Its so hot!
Its hot.
So hot.
Babe, its so hot!
- Why is that fan so weak?
- I dont know.
- I cant sleep...
- What was that?
Did you hear that?
Hey.
What are you doing?
Shh... be quiet.
Wow! Looks yummy!
Sorry, Mindy. Thats all we could manage.
- Come on, lets eat.
- Try this.
Sure.
- Its still hot.
- Just get me a few.
Here.
Here.
Wow, you're so sweet to Che.
I hope after Ren and I get married,
we'll be like that.
You can try it.
- Babe.
- Hmm?
- Babe! There's a fish bone!
- Water!
Here's how you do it.
Okay now?
Yeah. Thank you.
This damn signal.
Shit...
Babe!
- So many mosquitoes. Babe!
- Babe?
What were you doing there?
I was going to take a shower
because its hot.
Okay. So... do you think we really need
250 guests for our wedding?
Or is it better to have an intimate one?
- Babe...
- Listen to me first,
that way, our budget can go
to other things, like my gown.
- And of course, your suit and tie.
- Babe...
You know my mom, she wont let us
have a simple wedding.
Theyve been waiting for this for so long.
After this immersion,
well sort out the wedding, okay?
- Okay. I love you.
- I love you.
Oh?
You shower together?
Yeah, to save water.
Bro, maybe you can
wear a towel next time?
Hmm?
Sure.
I just got used to it.
Anyway, its our house.
Hes got a point, its their house.
You should try it sometime.
Babe? Are you okay?
Are you sure? Youve been in
deep thought since earlier.
What's wrong?
- Lets go home.
- Huh?
Why?
Its Aldrus...
What about Aldrus?
I noticed...
- his di...
- What?
The way you look at him.
Oh, okay? What?
Its like... I dont know.
Babe, its nothing,
its not what you think.
But Im sorry. Besides...
hes not my type. Youre way
more handsome than him.
Fine. Alright.
Youre really the jealous type.
This is how you do this.
You need to keep stirring the sticky rice
so it doesn't burn.
After that, stir in the coconut milk.
Gently, so it thickens.
You need to keep stirring
so it doesnt burn.
Like this, keep on stirring.
After that,
well boil the coconut milk for the latik.
You also need to keep stirring
to make sure the color is even.
Alright, so...
This seems like a lot of work, huh?
You get used to it.
But thats how it is,
everything takes work.
You put in the effort,
and when you taste
the fruits of your labor,
its even sweeter.
- You want to try?
- Huh?
Do you want me to
teach you how to cook?
- Sure.
- Like this.
There, gently.
Keep going.
Like that, keep going.
Its hot.
Is it hot?
Just like this.
You need to keep the heat like this
to make it even better.
Oh!
Oh, there you are.
- Are those my orders?
- Yeah, of course I didnt forget.
But I brought some extras
- in case you want more.
- I just ordered two.
Come on, add more.
Cant you see? My pockets are empty.
Okay, fine.
Good.
Thanks.
Youve got company today...
He used to be our
boss back in Manila.
Hi, Sir. Next time,
Ill buy from you instead.
- Thank you.
- Alright.
Careful, its a bit rocky here.
Is this how you are
when your wifes not around?
Huh?
You just let others flirt with you
even though you're married?
That? Its nothing.
Che knows everything I do.
Its part of the business,
thats how we sell.
Besides, if youre really sure
about each other,
theres no reason to be jealous.
Thats why she doesnt get jealous.
There, just like that, spread it evenly.
Youre doing great.
- Love,
- Oh, youre already here?
- Yeah, we sold out again.
- Youre really great!
Here, babe, count it.
- You guys are amazing.
- Thats how we do.
We sold everything, you know!
- Wow! You're amazing.
- I'll keep this, okay?
Of course!
As for me,
Che taught me how to cook,
- so now were ready for tomorrow.
- She knows how to make it!
Thats great!
- You sold a lot.
- Of course.
Wait, let me count.
This is great.
- Is this it?
- Why? Yeah.
Che, after all the hard work we put
into cooking today, only 2500 in sales?
Come on, what's important is we have
something rather than nothing, right?
My god! Thats so sad and tiring.
But dont worry, well order more from you
to help with the sales.
Oh, thank you!
- Youre really great at sales.
- Well, of course.
- You, too, huh?
- Yeah.
Pick out the ones were going to use
for tomorrow.
- Here, take this.
- Okay.
Why?
You seem hesitant.
Arent you used to someone
getting close to you?
Arent you used to
the heat of someones body?
Babe?
Didnt I tell you not to be
jealous anymore?
Its nothing.
What?
Babe?
Wow. Whats the occasion?
Its our anniversary.
- Come on, sit.
- Sit down.
Congrats! Happy anniversary!
Lets drink.
Take this as our way of saying thank you
for all the help youve given.
Thank you.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Happy anniversary, you guys.
Thanks.
Time really flies, huh?
Before, you two were just
secretly flirting.
We didnt even know you two were together
until we caught you having sex
in the maid's quarters.
- Babe!
- What?
- Babe, thats private.
- Its true.
And look at you now.
You got married before Ren and I,
and now its your anniversary.
Its not about how long
the relationship is, Mindy.
Yeah, right. Im just so happy for you.
You know, I really missed you two.
I told you, you can still stay with us
after the wedding.
Were fine here. Right?
Were happy here.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Were both so happy here.
But whats your long-term plan?
Like, are you still planning
to move back to Manila?
Because, how can you save money like this?
You deserve a much better life.
You two, deserve so much better.
Youre both so hardworking,
and there are so many opportunities
waiting for you.
Wealth isnt only measured by money, Mindy.
Were not chasing after anything more
than what we have.
Well, I guess youre right.
As long as you know youre happy
and sure about it, nothing else matters.
I hope were still like that
after we get married.
Its your choice.
You just have to always
make sure the passion is there
and the intimacy
in your relationship.
- Right, love?
- Yeah, thats right.
You hear it every night, right?
You need to give everything.
You need to give the kind of pleasure
that theyre always looking for.
Give it your all.
You trust what theyll do,
and all your worries will fade away,
like its just you two,
no one else.
Are you just going to watch?
You know,
its not only them who can enjoy this.
I know youve been holding back
for a long time.
You've been longing for this.
Love, is Miss Marites order final?
Yeah, love. She said 25 more.
Yes! Youre the best!
So? You coming?
Yeah, sure.
Come on.
- Love, well deliver these now.
- Alright, take care.
- Let me help.
- Sure.
- Its heavy.
- Okay. Ill take that.
Thanks.
- It really is heavy.
- Right?
Alright, were done.
Well be home early again.
Ill just take a piss.
Like the flirting you did with that woman,
does Che also know
youre flirting with me?
And you... does Mindy know
how youre being drawn to me?
Does she know these questions
in your mind after last night?
As for Che, she knows.
She saw what we did,
and you saw what they did.
Im not hiding anything,
and I dont have anything to hide.
Why are you doing this?
And you guys, why are you doing this?
- Che, Im sorry.
- Huh? Why?
About last night... I know it was supposed
to be a celebration of your anniversary...
but I think I ruined it.
That? Its fine.
- What did Aldrus think?
- Nothing. Because its nothing.
Nothing?
What do you mean nothing?
Then why did you kiss me last night?
Well... we were just playing, Mindy.
I was down for it, you were for it too.
Our bodies just called out to each other.
You want a game, right?
Were just playing along with you.
I think you got the answer already.
Are you still going
to marry, or not?
You know yourself better now.
- Thats not true.
- Really?
Che...
I just cant stop thinking about you.
Ever since Ive been with you in our house,
I know Im attracted to you.
But I thought that was all there was to it.
But after what happened last night,
I know theres more to it.
Theres nothing, Mindy.
Che, no. Be with me.
You will have a better life with me.
- A better life than this.
- You know, Mindy,
I dont need a life better than this.
If youre not sure about the relationship
you have, dont try to compare us to you.
This isnt what you really want?
Did you get what you wanted?
Sorry, but thats all I can give you.
Mindy,
whats happening to us?
Why? Is it wrong?
Why is it...
Why does it feel like theres someone else
I should be jealous of?
I think theres something
I need to know from you too.
Thank you.
Take care.
What happened there?
I dont know.
Are you still not going to wear your ring?
Maybe later.
Once we get home.
That was quick.
Of course.
You sold out already?
Of course, because its delicious.
Perfect timing. Ive got more
ready for you to sell.
How about...
a little reward first?
Later tonight...
I still need to finish this.
Then lets...
Wait.
I have to close the door.
Wait, not there.
Ma'am Mindys arriving later.
Che, my love,
I love you so much.
I love you so much, too.
Just a bit more saving,
and I can buy you a real ring.
Didnt I tell you,
Im happy with what we have.
Whatever.
You cant stop me.
Babe?
Is it okay if I put our engagement ring
away for now?
Thats fine, babe.
Its up to you.
Sorry... its just so flashy.
You know how it is
where were staying,
the life here is very poor and sad.
We should be considerate, right?
We wouldnt want them getting envious,
since they cant afford it.
And it might get stolen.
Its scary.
But don't worry, I'll still bring it,
I'll just hide it in my bag.
I don't get your idea, babe.
Why do we even need to stay with Che?

Please? Just one week.
Okay, okay. Youre like this because
you know Ill do anything for you.
Well... thats why I love you so much.
Careful.
- Watch your step.
- My gosh!
I need a break.
Are we getting close?
Just keep going. Where the hell are we?
I dont know where
we are, Ive lost signal.
Youre the one whos familiar here.
- My feet hurts.
- Babe, where are we?
Hold up, Ill get these... What?
Che!
My nanny for so many years!
My baby for so many years!
Hi, Sir Renald.

Does she know these questions
in your mind after last night?
As for Che, she knows.
She saw what we did,
and you saw what they did.
Im not hiding anything,
and I dont have anything to hide.
Why are you doing this?
And you guys, why are you doing this?
- Che, Im sorry.
- Huh? Why?
About last night... I know it was supposed
to be a celebration of your anniversary...
but I think I ruined it.
That? Its fine.
- What did Aldrus think?
- Nothing. Because its nothing.
Nothing?
What do you mean nothing?
Then why did you kiss me last night?
Well... we were just playing, Mindy.
I was down for it, you were for it too.
Our bodies just called out to each other.
You want a game, right?
Were just playing along with you.
I think you got the answer already.
Are you still going
to marry, or not?
You know yourself better now.
- Thats not true.
- Really?
Che...
I just cant stop thinking about you.
Ever since Ive been with you in our house,
I know Im attracted to you.
But I thought that was all there was to it.
But after what happened last night,
I know theres more to it.
Theres nothing, Mindy.
Che, no. Be with me.
You will have a better life with me.
- A better life than this.
- You know, Mindy,
I dont need a life better than this.
If youre not sure about the relationship
you have, dont try to compare us to you.
This isnt what you really want?
Did you get what you wanted?
Sorry, but thats all I can give you.
Mindy,
whats happening to us?
Why? Is it wrong?
Why is it...
Why does it feel like theres someone else
I should be jealous of?
I think theres something
I need to know from you too.
Thank you.
Take care.
What happened there?
I dont know.
Are you still not going to wear your ring?
Maybe later.
Once we get home.
