[intro music]
[crowd murmuring]
[guitar tuning]
Okay! Good evening, Araneta!
[performer] Good evening, everyone.
Welcome to Donnalyn's Bar and Grill
here at Roxas Boulevard.
And to those who are hungry,
dig in and order whatever you want.
And those of you who are drinking,
keep drinking till you can't anymore.
One day, the one you love will return.
They'll be right back in your arms.
Yeah, am I right?
Your one true love, they're gonna return.
Enough of that, girl! Come on!
[woman] Yeah, let's go! Let's go, come on!
Okay. Okay.
I'm going to start with an original song.
Cover is not original, please.
[woman] Yeah, play something we know. God!
Uh, you're right.
Got it. Let's do that, then.
[message chimes]
UNKNOWN USER:
UGGO!
- [man 1] What about requests?
- [man 2] Yeah!
Yeah, I got a request!
[dramatic music]
[mic echoes through speakers]
[music continues]
[mic thudding softly]
[mic echoes through speakers]
[performer] People always say that,
when you love someone,
you have to set them free.
[echoing continues]
[tape rewinding]
[dramatic music]
But nobody talks about what happens after.
KURT - UGLY - MY "UGGO"
The pain
and the huge void that is left.
SO NERVOUS!
They've been in your life so long.
You make the mistake of thinking
they'll be there forever
your whole life.
But shit happens.
And that someone,
who we were always so close to
ANOTHER HEARTBREAK
THANKS, UGGO, FOR BEING HERE.
suddenly becomes a stranger to us.
[dramatic music]
[inaudible chatter]
THANKS, UGGO, FOR BEING THERE!
CONGRATS, UGGO!
YOUR OWN BAR!
HAPPY TO BE WITH THE GANG!
Three years ago,
I made the worst decision of my life.
A decision so bad
that things irrevocably changed.
And went to shit.
And I mean
shit.
[woman over phone]
See? I told you.
Platonic, my ass.
[performer over phone]
Oh, God. I'm sorry I told you.
[woman] Damn girl,
look at the mess you created.
Are you out of your mind?
[performer] Fine.
- I know I'm an idiot.
- [woman sighs]
What were you thinking?
Are you totally crazy?
[groans]
So he found out,
what are you gonna tell him?
You have to confess now, you know.
And this is what comes
from all your platonic rubbish, yeah?
[woman] Think about it, okay? Because
you're putting your friendship at risk.
Maybe you're just jealous.
Do you think Jane
stole your best friend from you?
[somber music]
[woman] Charlie? You still there?
Charlie? Did you hang up?
Did you even hear me?
- I've been talking this whole time.
- [Charlie] Okay, hear me out.
I'm not perfect.
[somber music]
Things happened that led me to this.
So let me tell you the story
of how I lost the only person I loved
because of my own stupidity.
[Charlie] Morning, Ugly.
Rise and shine.
[dramatic music]
Hey.
- Come on, Ugly.
- Char, come on.
It's early.
[Charlie] I still need to buy a gift
for my godson. Come on.
[Kurt] Later.
- Out of bed.
- Ow! Stop.
[groans]
[sighs deeply]
[Charlie] Ugly!
[Charlie] You are coming
to my godson's birthday, right?
[Kurt chuckles]
Every time you want to go home to Laguna,
automatically you want me to drive you.
Oh my God, are you complaining about this?
Well, I always pay for the tolls
and the gas by the way.
And you know there's going to be food,
so you're gonna love it.
[Kurt] Hm
I don't know.
Ugly
I don't wanna go without you.
I can't go all by myself.
You know what'll happen.
Everyone will be seated
and then everyone
will go their separate ways.
And I'll be stuck there sitting all alone.
So? What's wrong with being by yourself?
I'm about to turn 32. 32!
The clock's ticking, Ugly!
Oh, my God. Did you know
all I can think about is that by now
my husband and I
should be buying our new home
and expecting our third baby?
All my friends are leaving me behind.
[groans loudly]
Don't worry about your friend.
Don't pressure yourself
with that self-imposed timeline.
Or better yet, exit that road.
[Charlie] And what about you, Ugly?
Don't you want a girlfriend?
Aren't you tired of being single?
No one to cuddle.
No one to text you, "Good morning",
"Good night", "I love you", "Did you eat?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Can I pick you up?"
Well, that's you really. And one's enough.
- [snorts]
- Ugly, the point I'm making is
- if you want a long-term relationship
- Oh.
put yourself out there and not on apps.
What have you got against apps?
You're so old-fashioned.
Are you frightened that an app
is gonna take away your control?
- [exclaims]
- I'm just making a point, Ugly. Right?
And maybe give Hans a chance.
Huh?
Well, you said he's been asking you out
for two years, yeah?
He obviously likes you.
And I think you should go out.
Why do you keep on pushing
this Hans thing?
It must be like the seventh time
that you've said this.
Oh, please. What are you saying?
You push me into online dating, don't you?
[Kurt] You're just the same, Ugly.
My point is, just try real life.
Okay.
I'll try. Yup.
On one condition.
Okay, I'll do what you want. I'll try it.
Yes, I'll go out with Hans.
And so, you will try a dating app,
then we can prove our points
to each other.
And if I click with Hans
out there in the great big real world
Okay, then you will have made your point.
But if you swipe right
and you get a spark with a perfect girl
[imitates swiping sound]
Then my point will be made, hm?
[upbeat music playing on headphones]
- Char?
- Hm?
We're, um we're thinking of ordering out.
Do you want something to eat?
- Uh, no, thanks.
- Sure?
- Mm-hm, I'm okay.
- Uh, okay.
[sighs deeply]
Hans.
Um, I don't wanna order in.
But, uh, how about we eat out?
- Okay.
- Mm-hm, okay.
Hang on.
[Charlie laughs]
Why'd he do that?
[Hans] He said,
"Your audio doesn't sound right.
It sounds like it's been dubbed over.
Next time you call for a meeting,
make sure everything's polished".
What the hell? It wasn't dubbed at all!
Oh, I know that feeling.
I had a producer,
he wanted a score, a wall-to-wall score,
but the director The director
cut like half of everything I did.
What an asshole!
Damn, how frustrating.
But it was okay because I just used it
for a different project.
[both laughing]
- [watch beeps]
- Uh-oh.
It's already been an hour.
- [Hans] Should we go?
- Let's go.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, hang on.
- Ah?
Oh
[Charlie] Oh.
[chuckles]
[dramatic music]
- [Hans] Good to go.
- Thanks very much.
- [Charlie] Hi! What's up?
- [woman] Oh, how are you?
So good to see you.
[smooches]
Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- [Charlie] Here, I got you a piece
even if no one else is eating.
[Kurt] I've been looking at this
since we arrived.
Yeah, I got you some because I know
carrot cake is your favorite.
Uh, jeez, this is eye-opening.
It looks like raising a family
is expensive.
[groans]
What happened?
You've already changed your mind?
Last week you were, "I wanna settle down."
Now you've changed your mind.
Oh, my God. It's so hard to know.
What do I want?
Lord, please help me.
Good?
[chuckles]
So good.
- [Kurt chuckling]
- [Charlie exclaiming]
So good!
[all clapping]
[Charlie] Hey.
So I ended up going out with Hans.
- Really?
- Mm.
- You finally went out?
- Mm.
- Congrats, Ugly.
- [Charlie giggles]
So, come on, I was right.
It was good. Your turn.
Turn?
You know our deal, I did mine,
so now it's your turn.
Time for you and online dating.
[laughter]
[all exclaiming]
[laughter]
[indistinct chattering]
[all squealing]
- [laughter]
- [friend 1] PDA!
That's a PDA!
- Come on, stop!
- [overlapping chatter]
[laughter]
You've gotta open your mouth
a little bit more.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [laughter]
- [all exclaim]
- [Charlie gasps]
- [smooches]
- [friend 2] What's with that?
- Look at them.
- [friend 3] What?
- You two are so close.
- [laughter]
- [friend 1] Come on.
- Ah, before we continue
I have to ask something.
Have you ever, ah,
sexy time with each other?
[friend 2] Just between us.
[snorts]
Uh, ha! No!
That was just one time.
But we realized after that,
that it just wasn't for us.
It was too gross,
we're just platonic, yeah.
We realized that then.
Shels, you knew?
- Spill!
- [gasps]
[overlapping chatter and laughter]
What on earth was that?
Oh, shut up! It was one drunken night
and we were just wasted.
And it was super hot.
[laughter]
[Charlie] Kurt just broke up with,
hm, Joana.
And I just broke up with
Uh, who was that again?
Anyway, we were both sad, AKA horny.
So there you have it! We did it!
- [overlapping chatter]
- [friend 2] So you were drunk?
Oh, but I swear! Only one time!
One time, right?
[Charlie gasps]
Ugly.
Oh, my God! We had sex!
[groans loudly]
We had sex. Oh, my God!
[Kurt sighs]
Oi! Say something.
[Charlie] When we woke up the next day,
besides the hangover,
it was so weird.
Oh, Ugly, why did we do it?
Oh my God, when we got up
[all exclaiming and laughing]
[friend 4] That must've been crazy.
[Charlie] Like, whoa.
- Oh, that. Okay.
- [friend 1] Come on, keep playing.
[chuckles]
Like that
[laughter]
[dramatic music]
Whatever. Stop it!
- [Kurt] Look! Check it out.
- [Charlie] This is great.
Minimalist, yeah?
Over here, we could have
like a full band setup.
- Or even just a stool.
- This is nice.
Solo acoustic grand opening.
Idiot, you know you don't even have
to ask. Of course I will.
And at the opening,
I need an extra mouth to feed.
[Charlie] Ah?
- Well, I won't eat breakfast.
- Okay.
'Cause I need to finalize the menu.
- And I want you to taste the food first.
- [phone chimes]
- Who's that?
- [phone chimes]
Oh, Hans. I think he wants to go out.
- So
- Oh. Then, answer him.
[groans]
- [Charlie groans]
- [phone keys clacking]
Oh, right. Sorry. You were saying?
I'll try your dating app.
For real? You're serious?
- [chuckles]
- Oh my God, I'm so excited!
- Give me your phone and I'll help you
- Hang on, hang on.
- On one condition.
- Ugh, what's the problem?
Ugly, this is hard for me.
You know I've swallowed my pride.
I'm so happy.
Char.
- Okay, make me an account.
- I'm trying.
And find me the perfect lady.
I promise I'll go on a date.
And if there isn't any kind of spark,
well, then I'll know
my ideal woman isn't on your app.
[scoffs]
Anything else?
Well, it's your thing, isn't it?
So do your magic and prove me wrong.
We have to upload a photograph.
And it has to be bad,
so that they can love you for who you are.
Okay, so stick out your tongue.
[camera shutter clicks]
[upbeat music]
Hello?
Yes, I'm the one who's handling this.
Kurt? Well, it's a poser account.
I'm Kurt's best friend
and he wants me to handle it.
Oh, I Hello?
[hair dryer whirring]
[phone chimes]
Yes? Huh?
[groans loudly]
Really?
Oh?
Oh, okay. On my way.
[Charlie] Oh, my God!
[squeals]
My name is Jona.
I'm Alice.
I'm Drea.
Rihanna.
Why did you agree to meet me
even though it's a poser account?
- I'm curious.
- Well, I really appreciated
when you came like clean.
I mean, for me, that's a plus, yeah.
'Cause it's exciting.
Kurt looks like he's responsible.
I feel like he's made it, yeah?
Something I look for in a husband.
[awkward chuckle]
"Husband."
I'm a very simple girl.
We can hang out and chill.
And then, you know
we'll watch K-dramas and stuff.
[squeals]
Oh, my God.
I feel like the stars are all aligned.
I don't like guys who are 5'5" or smaller.
He's 5'7", isn't he?
- [awkward chuckle]
- So, you know
my mom wants to make sure he's taller.
And you understand,
the whole family needs to be happy.
I can cook rabbits,
rats, and snakes.
Your hand says
you're gonna have three children.
Really?
Well, Chloe doesn't even know her dad.
Look after your lifeline, alright?
And you know, you can drink your pee
if there's nothing else.
[muttering]
[mutters]
[sobbing]
Are you okay?
No!
[sobbing continues]
[Alice] I can't even
I can't. I can't even
[waiter]
And here is your carrot cake, ma'am.
[Charlie groans]
[soft jazz music playing]
[waiter] Good morning, sir.
What can I get for you today?
[quirky music]
Hello! Waiter!
[waiter] Yes, ma'am?
Who made this?
Ah, yes! That's our bestseller.
And it's our boss who's our head baker.
Please tell me your boss is a woman.
- [Charlie] Please!
- Uh, there she is at the counter.
[waiter] Madam Jane.
[gentle music]
[Charlie] There she is.
The perfect girl for Kurt.
His "lifetime" partner.
I didn't find her on a dating app,
but it's fine.
[pants]
I'll find a way.
[mouthing]
What's her full name?
[waiter] Oh, it's Jane Montemayor.
[gentle music]
[Charlie] She's been running
her caf restaurant for five years,
and she already has
another branch in the south.
Imagine, Kurt, 28 years old,
she's just 28 years old!
It's impressive, no?
Mm-hm. And does she know
I'm five years older than she is?
What? What's the problem
with you being five years older?
Why would she agree to meet you
if it was a problem for her?
It's okay, truly.
Okay.
Um, Ugly, it will be fine.
But here's the best news.
Her carrot cake so amazing.
Ugly, you know my carrot cake
standards are high.
[Charlie] I know.
I know all about your standards.
I'm so proud, it's like way, way, way
above your standards for carrot cake.
[laughs]
You really like her, huh?
I'm just proud of myself
'cause I found you the perfect girl.
The perfect girl, the best carrot cake,
- you're so lucky.
- Is she free this weekend?
- This weekend?
- Mm-hm.
I'm excited to meet this perfect woman.
[quirky music]
Uh, of course she is!
She's free this weekend.
- [Kurt] Okay.
- [awkward chuckle]
She'll be there.
- What are you talking about?
- Are you excited?
Of course, I'm excited.
[giggles]
Come on, we'll sit.
You sit there.
[soft gentle music playing]
- Ugly. Ugly!
- Hm?
- She won't stand me up, will she?
- What? Why would she?
Chill. Besides, she said 7:00 to 7:15.
She might be busy in the kitchen.
[Kurt] Okay. Okay, fine.
Uh, should I order?
- Like drinks or something?
- Mm Mm-hm.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Hello, good evening.
[Charlie] I'll have, uh
Ugly
[gasps]
[squeals softly]
Uh, hold on. Thanks.
Uh uh Hi!
Yes?
The best.
As in, the best carrot cake in the world.
Oh, I'm glad you like it.
How many carrot cakes do you have left?
Um
I think we still have eight.
Eight?
Yes, it's our most popular,
- so we bake a lot of them.
- [chuckles]
[whispering, then chuckles awkwardly]
- Give me all eight.
- All eight?
- On one condition.
- Huh?
That you have a cup of coffee
with my best friend, Kurt.
- What?
- [Charlie] Ten minutes!
I promise, ten minutes only.
- [Charlie] Jane, just ten minutes.
- Wait, uh, how do you know my name?
[chuckles]
Uh uh, funny story.
Uh
So I was here, um, um,
about last week or so.
And I told him
your carrot cake was the best.
The best carrot cake in the world,
so I asked for your name.
And then I found you on social media.
So please
he's a good guy, I promise.
The best guy in the world.
I I promise you
as in like the best guy.
Ten minutes,
a coffee, that's it really.
Trust me.
Okay.
- [Charlie squeals]
- Yeah.
[playful music]
HEY UGGO, HOW'S IT GOING??
[phone chimes]
- [Kurt] Sorry.
- [Jane] No, it's fine. I understand.
[Charlie] Hm, too busy, huh?
[sighs]
I'm so great.
[exclaims]
I'm the greatest.
Charlie.
You're the most!
I know.
[Jane] Your friend is quite something,
I'm like what?
KURBOOK A GRAB, UGGO.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
Oh, Ugly
At last, you met the one.
[Charlie] Who knew that from here,
it was all downhill for me
and Kurt.
- [Charlie] Hi, Ugly!
- Oh, you're here, huh?
Well, I texted you,
although it looked like
you were just far too busy with Jane.
[Charlie] Hm, I wonder why?
How was the date?
What's that smell?
I cooked, but I haven't eaten.
Hm, what's up?
[chuckles]
You forgot to mention an important detail.
So, what'd you buy?
- [Charlie snorts, laughs]
- Don't change the subject, you liar.
- Oh, but it was good, right?
- [Kurt laughs]
So good you bought eight of them.
Sorry.
But I was right.
Tell me I was.
Yes, you were right.
The carrot cake was delicious.
Not about that! Come on!
I'm talking about you and Jane.
Come on, spill the beans.
There were sparks,
and fireworks everywhere, right?
- You're soul mates, like B1 and B2.
- [chuckles]
So did Jane pass? Did I win? I won, right?
Hey, Jane wasn't on your list
of perfect girl applicants.
Besides, you just found her.
She wasn't even on your dating app.
Wait! But she was on the dating app!
[groans]
It's just that you two
didn't find each other,
until I helped you. You're welcome.
So, second date?
[Charlie] Tell me!
- [Kurt] I'm taking a shower.
- [Charlie groans]
[grunts]
You're such a jerk!
- [Kurt] I'm taking a shower.
- [Charlie] Come on, tell me.
- Come on!
- [Kurt] Go eat first.
[knocks on door]
Please! Come on, Ugly!
What happened? I want all the details!
Please!
I CAN'T, UGGO. DON'T BE ANNOYING!
FINAL ANSWER?
FINAL. GO ENJOY! JUST UPDATE ME. YIEEE
GIVE ME AN UPDATE!
Char!
Oh! Yeah, okay.
[upbeat music]
[thumps]
[Charlie] Go!
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! What?
Hey, wow! You weren't looking at all.
[muttering]
Kiss.
[laughter]
- Ah! Yes! Ah!
- [laughter]
I got it! Oh, wow!
First time.
[Hans shrieks, laughs]
[whoops]
Ten tickets!
Oh, yeah!
[laughter]
- Oh!
- Yeah, baby!
Come on! Come on!
- [Charlie] One last time.
- Last.
- [thumps]
- Whoa! Yeah!
[Hans laughs]
[Charlie laughs]
- Come on! Come on!
- Here, take that!
- You got lucky!
- Yes!
[Charlie giggles]
- One, two

[exhales heavily]
[breathes deeply]
[dramatic music]
[phone keys clacking]
JUST GOT HOME!
I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL HERE.
HE BOUGHT THE TICKETS.
WHAT A GENTLEMAN!
JUST GOT HOME!
I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL HERE.

CALL ENDED
And my little cousins were there,
and like, they're like, "da, da, da, da,"
jeez, they can run around.
Oh, they are full on.
- And my grandfather was like
- [phone ringing]
Ugly?
[groans]
Yes.
Oh, sorry, we're just getting coffee.
Mm-hm, we're on our way back. Yes, boss.
The director needs us.
[groans]
So I have a question. Where is Baby Kurt?
Yeah, it's weird he didn't drive you.
I don't know.
Um, um He's at the bar a lot.
That might be the reason.
- Mm.
- Busy at the bar.
- Mm.
- He must be busy, right?
Ah Hm
I thought it would be because he's out
with Jane all the time these days.
[Shelby chuckles]
- [Charlie] Um, have you seen Kurt?
- Yes, ma'am. He's over here.
[Charlie] Oh. Oh, thanks.
- [Kurt] So could you follow it up, please?
- [staff] Yeah, yeah.
- 'Cause it might not get here on time.
- Sure.
- [Charlie] Ugly.
- Okay. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
- Char.
- Hi, Ugly.
[Charlie] Have you eaten yet?
Uh, yeah. But bring it on.
- [Charlie] Ugly
- Careful.
The premiere of our film
is on this weekend.
You're still coming along, right?
If you want, you can bring Jane.
- This weekend?
- Yes. On Saturday.
- Saturday.
- [phone chimes]
Is that a yes?
I'll need to check.
Wow.
It's becoming hard to invite you out.
Well, it's crunch time, you know.
Okay.
[phone keys clacking]
Oh, did you hear?
V was rushed to the hospital
- for an emergency C-section today.
- [phone chimes]
Huh? How is she?
No, she's fine. I think it went well.
I don't really wanna go straight away,
she should relax.
[laughs]
Um, I heard it's a three or four-day
recovery period for a C-section.
We'll visit in a day or two.
Ugly?
Oh, I almost forgot that you can't go
anywhere these days
because you're just so damn busy.
Who is it?
[laughs]
It's work.
It's work, my ass.
Is it Jane?
Char.
[Charlie clicks tongue]
[somber music]
Yeah, Char, the opening
Don't forget, you are playing.
Of course I am,
I already said I would, didn't I?
- How many songs?
- Up to you.
A whole concert if you like.
[laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
[Charlie harmonizing]
[Charlie whooping]
[giggling]
Go, Char!
Okay! Okay! Whoa!
Okay.
[giggles]
Okay, okay. Come on, you guys.
There's more to come.
But calm down, everyone,
because I can't, um
I can't keep up with your energy levels
tonight, everybody.
[Charlie] Okay, so any requests?
- I can play anything you want!
- [man] Something sad.
- A sad song?
- Sing a sad song for the broken heart!
- We got a broken heart in this corner.
- [crowd cheering]
This song is for you. Okay.
All right. Here we go.
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy, and I hurry
- [friend] Oh, finally, we're meeting Jane.
- Hey.
I'm so excited to see you
And my heart beats faster
And then I see you see
Waiting outside my door
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
Because we are
Just friends
[cheers and applause]
[indistinct shouts]
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still
I hope there's a chance
Will we end up together?
I don't think
[Jane chuckles]
And how about you, Shelby?
Can you tell the difference
between mechado and afritada?
FYI. There are peas in afritada.
- Babe, shut up.
- That's caldereta.
- [laughter]
- Oh, my God.
Why are we talking
about mechado versus afritada?
[overlapping chatter]
Well, I agree, it causes confusion.
That's one of the reasons
I prefer to bake.
Because it's easy to tell the difference
between chocolate cake and vanilla cake.
[chuckles]
Witty.
- White is different to brown.
- Okay. Wait, wait, wait.
So
We've been hearing, from a little birdie,
that your carrot cake is so good
that Char set you up
with our Baby Kurt here.
So do tell us, spill the beans.
Yes! My eternal gratitude, Ugly.
Well, it's a good thing she said yes.
She wasn't even on the list
of Charlie's poser account of love.
She was so persistent.
[Kurt] Well, how can you say no when she
bought eight boxes of that carrot cake?
[friend] Oh, big spender, Cha.
Just to get Jane to say yes.
So what's the deal?
Is it a yes or a yes?
[Kurt chuckles]
[all exclaim]
[friend] Come on, spill the beans.
We're all friends here.
Friends?
Yes. Friends.
We're just, you know,
enjoying each other's company.
[snickers]
He's enjoying it so much
that he forgets to reply to my texts.
[somber music]
Ooh! Uh, how about we ask
Hans and Charlie, right?
Uh, so Hm?
Spill the beans, you two.
[Hans chuckles]
Uh, actually I was about to, uh
[Hans chuckles]
Uh, Charlie?
[Charlie vomits]
- [friend 1] Oh, my.
- [friend 2] Oh, my God.
- [friend 3] Charlie, are you okay?
- [Kurt] Hans, Hans, I got it.
- [overlapping chatter]
- [Charlie retching]
- [coughs]
- Tissue.
- [indistinct chatter]
- Hey, do something.
[friend 1] Oh, damn.
Charlie's at it again.
Shelby, did she puke a lot?
- Ahh
- [friend] Shels
Yeah! There's an awful lot of it
down there.
Hey, don't worry. They'll clean up.
[retching]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[Kurt shushing]
Have you forgotten already?
You made a promise.
[Charlie sighs]
You promised my father.
You, sir, made a promise
and this is a big deal.
You made a promise, Ugly!
[sobbing]
You promised! You promised!
[sobbing continues]
You made a promise.
[Charlie]
That promise wasn't a random thing.
It's something from Kurt
that I held on to my whole life.
It's something he gave to me
the night we first met
more than 15 years ago.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] Come here.
I'll introduce you to my dad.
Hi, Daddy.
How are you?
I brought my friend.
This is
What's your name again?
- Kurt.
- Right, this is Kurt, Daddy.
Daddy, this is Kurt. Kurt, this is my dad.
He's my newfound friend. He's Kurt.
He's like my new best friend.
And he's never gonna leave me.
Hm?
Am I right? Come on, tell my dad.
[Charlie] Go on.
Don't embarrass me in front of my dad.
I promise I will not leave Charlie.
[Charlie chuckles]
See?
He's not like you and Mommy. He won't go.
- Right?
- That's right.
He wants assurance.
How?
Okay, listen.
[clears throat]
Uh, raise your right hand.
Let's go.
Here we go. "I"
[dramatic music]
Kurt. Kurt Marcial Santos
- "do solemnly swear"
- do solemnly swear
"upon the ashes of the father
of Charlie Sofia Manansala."
upon the ashes of the father of Charlie
[Charlie whispers]
Sofia.
Sofia Manansala.
- "That I will never ever leave her"
- I will never ever leave her
"no matter no matter the trials
and challenges that life presents us,
I won't work overseas, I won't die.
And I will never be like Jen.
I'll be here forever,
no matter the circumstances.
I promise never ever to leave her."
[music fades]
It's your turn, repeat it, jerk.
[snickers]
Sorry. It was too long to remember.
[both laughing]
Daddy Bert, I promise
I will never leave Charlie.
[both laughing]
- [Charlie] Say all of it!
- Oh, my God!
[laughing continues]
Why does it have to be such a big,
long promise?
[Charlie] And now,
it looks like I'm on the verge
of suffering from a broken promise,
and I'm all to blame.
I know.
[somber music]
[groaning]
Oh, boy.
KURGOOD MORNING, UGGO.
DON'T WORRY, IT WAS JANE
WHO CHANGED YOUR CLOTHES.
YOU WERE THROWING UP
LIKE CRAZY LAST NIGHT.
[groaning]
[sighing]
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[groans]
We're friends now? How nice.
[groaning]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[whining]
- [groaning]
- [doorbell rings]
- Hi!
- Hi.
I brought something for you.
[Charlie groans]
May I come in?
Sorry, I'm still hungover. Come in.
- [Hans] You just sit down.
- Thank you.
- [Hans] I'll make it for you, okay?
- Okay.
[Charlie] Mm, go on.
[Charlie groaning]
They're mostly near the sink. Thanks.
[exhales]
What did you bring?
[Hans] Homemade sinigang with watermelon.
Oh, yum. Thank you.
[Hans] Here.
- Eat it while it's hot.
- Oh, my God.
[Hans] I also brought some drip coffee.
[Charlie] Mm
[dishes clattering]
Oh, it's good.
I also brought you some drinks
to rehydrate.
Thank you.
- [Hans] I'll put them in here.
- Go ahead.
Wow. You're so organized.
What I'm not able to do with my own life,
I do in my house.
Ooh, cynical.
Char.
Do you and I still have a chance?
[somber music]
[sighs]
When it seemed like
you'd finally noticed me
after years of being invisible to you.
You know, that felt good.
I was so happy. I thought
maybe this is it.
But, uh, last night
[kettle whistling]
Uh, well, it
it was like, once again,
you didn't see me.
It was like I didn't exist.
[Charlie] I know.
I should have seen this coming.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] My mother told me
that all men are one of three types.
There's the fling guy. He'll come
when it's cold outside or raining.
The type of guy who shows up in summer.
Yeah, and uh, quarterly, annually,
Christmas, and Valentine's Day.
And you call that guy a season.
[dramatic music]
[playful music]
[indistinct chatter]
[facilitator] Okay, everybody,
please take your seats.
Make sure you have your pencil,
paper, and art materials with you.
Our models have agreed
to pose for 30 minutes each
so you guys can have
more time to polish your work.
[upbeat music]
[music continues]
Which part of "you don't have to come"
don't you understand?
It's a surprise, dumbass!
And I'm wondering what you don't
understand about this.
Because it's our monthiversary
and I'm here to celebrate with you.
Fuck monthiversary! Are you a child?
Say that once more.
- [man] Never mind. You just don't get it.
- [facilitator] Artists, let's continue.
Okay, fine, but months down the track,
I don't want to hear you saying
that you never saw me
make much of an effort, right?
You're grumbling about my support now,
but I bet you'll be like,
"She never makes an effort, does she?"
I'm sorry if you're looking
that far ahead.
But this was never gonna be serious.
[man] You're fun, Charlie,
but I think we're done.
[somber music]
[Charlie sobbing]
Three months, no?
January, February, March, April
[laughs]
I beat you!
Pay up! Three months, I won!
You want payment now?
You know I'm brokenhearted.
[Charlie]
I even made a big ridiculous scene.
I'm so embarrassed.
Oh, I'm so stupid.
[Charlie] Sorry's all you can say?
When you know I gave you
three months of my life.
Give me that.
I mean, wasted three months!
This is for our second monthiversary!
Third monthiversary!
And I'm not gonna say sorry
that I wasted three months of your life!
Ooh, and you better fix that!
It's not even that big.
And the cold champagne shower
appears to have made it look even smaller.
[Charlie] Keep it real, asshole.
Peace out.
Do you know what I realized?
That he never cared for me at all!
[Charlie sobs]
I was going all out with giving
and giving. But I got nothing in return.
[sobbing]
God damn it, I'm so tired.
[sobbing continues]
So tired.
Perhaps, you should take a break.
You're acting like there's no more fish
in the sea.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] Be kind.
I was excited.
Excited to meet my lifetime partner.
The thing is, he doesn't seem
to be looking for me.
[sobs]
[Charlie] How do I find him
if he's not looking for me?
I need rice.
- Rice?
- [sobbing continues]
[Kurt] Okay, okay.
Let's buy something with rice.
- [Charlie] Okay, but your treat.
- [Kurt] Yeah, let's go eat.
[dramatic music]
[Kurt] So, Ed,
what category did he fall under?
"A season."
I dated him because it was it was nice
to have someone on Valentine's Day.
- [Kurt laughs]
- People come into your life
and you love them intensely.
Oh my God, you love them so so much
but then,
when it's over,
you look back and you see how
and why it didn't work out.
You know who my favorite was?
Who?
The first guy.
- Jonas.
- Jonas.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] He was one of my favorites too.
He was my first in a lot of things.
The first time I ever held hands.
[dreamy music]
And our second summer together,
my first kiss.
[giggles]
[young Charlie squealing]
But I should've known.
The third summer, I waited for him.
I didn't like any other boys
the whole year.
I thought perhaps the following summer
we might finally do it.
But I never saw him again.
He got someone pregnant.
And there I was,
excited to go to second base,
and all he wanted was a home run.
I was so heartbroken. But at least
[Kurt] Skip the details, please.
You've told me that a million times,
how you and him did it at the beach.
Enough already.
Do you know what I think is funny?
- That you were so invested in Tuneng.
- [Charlie] Uh-oh.
And you went around trying to find him
the whole following summer.
And you came along with me.
Hey, Ugly, I'm your best friend.
You just say where and when,
and I'll be there.
Aw, I'm so touched. I'm so touched, Ugly.
Uh, you know the one I disliked the most
Who?
That boss of yours.
[Charlie giggles]
Wait a minute.
- Get out of the way!
- [Charlie] Ha, careful!
[Charlie] Yes, it was a mistake
falling for my boss.
- [indistinct shouts]
- [Kurt] Who was married.
[Charlie] Lesson learned. Don't go dancing
with anyone but your darling.
[Kurt] So what category was Nicko?
[Charlie] "A reason."
I learned a lot from that experience.
The third one is the most special.
And the most elusive.
The lifetime partner.
[Charlie] The one who's forever.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] I thought Alab was going to be
my lifetime partner.
[Kurt] Honestly, I could never keep up
with his lifestyle and image.
[Charlie] Hey. I was a vegan
for a year and a half, you know.
[Kurt] Cheating aside?
[Charlie] Although, near the end of it,
I did realize something was up.
[playful music]
He wouldn't go down on me.
Because of his religion, he said.
[Kurt] Oh, I get it,
vegans don't eat living things.
Sounds like an excuse to me.
[Charlie] Eh! So when he decided to go up
the mountains for the Nights of Babaylan,
I said, "Go. Yeah, whatever you like.
I really don't care."
I was fine with being a vegan.
Except you can't not give me the orgasms
- that I love more than anything.
- [Kurt laughs]
It was a cult! He was crazy.
You're right, Ugly. It was a cult.
[somber music]
[Charlie sighs deeply]
A lifetime.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] I was blind.
I didn't realize
that I was looking for my lifetime partner
in all the wrong places.
[dramatic music]
But I should've been looking
[Charlie sighs]
at the person right in front of me.
[dramatic music]
[gentle music]
[line ringing]
[somber music]
[groans]
[gentle music]
- [gasps]
- [music stops]
[romantic music]
[music continues]
- [Charlie sneezes]
- [Jane] Huh?
- What's that?
- [Kurt] Nothing, nothing.
[Charlie sneezes]
Charlie?
[Kurt] Charlie.
[door closes]
[Kurt] Jane.
Let me explain.
I can drive you home.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Um
- I'll leave.
- No, you stay!
[sighs deeply]
Damn it, Char!
- Why are you in my house?
- I was trying to surprise you.
How was I meant to know
you were having sex tonight?
[Kurt] Meant to know?
Do you understand
that this is not your place?
[Kurt] What the hell, Charlie?
You didn't even text or call to see
if it was okay to come over.
[exhales]
[stammers]
But why?
It was never an issue before.
Yeah, before, Char.
Why's it all changed?
[Charlie] Why?
How come it's all different?
[somber music]
Why are you here?
I'm here
because I miss you.
[Charlie] Okay?
You used to be my best friend.
You used to update me every day.
I used to know what was going on with you.
But now
what's happened to us lately?
What are you and Jane?
[somber music]
[exhales heavily]
[somber music]
[chuckles]
So
[chuckles]
What do you think?
Am I crazy?
I know we've only known each other
five months, but
Char, I'm certain.
[Kurt] I'm so certain
of what I feel for Jane.
I wanna be with her always.
[gasps]
I'm pregnant!
[somber music]
Wait.
Wait, what?
- I'm pregnant.
- [Kurt] Uh, you're pregnant?
- Pregnant? How did this happen, Char?
- [whimpering]
When? Who? Who was it?
Uh, JK his name is.
Who's JK?
I wanted to introduce you,
I couldn't, because, um
lately, I can't get a hold of you.
- Oh, fuck.
- It was
- like a one-night stand, so I
- One night?
Well, no, not a one-night stand. It was
um, four-night stands, but
but with feelings.
And there was one time, I didn't
well, we didn't use a, you know
and well, I kind of got pregnant.
[Charlie] I don't know what to do.
- [sobbing]
- God, Char. My God.
- How could you be so irresponsible?
- I know! I know!
- But it's happened now and I'm scared.
- Yes, yes. Okay, wait.
- Uh, how far along are you?
- I I don't know.
And have you told JK yet?
- No, no, no.
- Why didn't you tell him?
- Wait. Just wait, wait.
- Or is it that he doesn't want to take
- responsibility?
- I'm so confused!
- Damn this asshole!
- Please, I'm so confused.
I don't know anymore.
Can we just take it easy?
[sobbing]
Okay.
- [Kurt shushing]
- Shit.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
[Kurt sighs]
- Okay, relax.
- Okay.
What what do you want to do?
- [Charlie] Uh
- Hm?
[sobs]
I don't know. Maybe, tell him?
- Ugly?
- Okay. Okay.
We'll go and talk.
- Okay.
- So where is he?
Um Ilocos.
Yeah, that's it.
- Of course, Ilocos. Ilocos.
- Mm-hm.
He's in Ilocos.
Uh, North or South?
I think
it was the North.
He went home to the North.
- Okay.
- [Charlie groans]
Ugly, you come with me, okay?
[dramatic music]
- Please.
- Of course. Of course.
[Charlie] Right now,
- you might be thinking
- I don't want to go alone.
Well, it's your own fault, Charlie.
[Charlie sobbing]
I know.
And I paid the price for it.
I told you I'm not perfect,
but who is?
I wanted him to realize that
I'm his lifetime partner.
- I hoped he would see that I'm the one
- [Kurt] Let's stay here.
he should spend the rest
of his life with.
[receptionist] Sir and Madam,
we have an available room,
but it only has one bed.
[Charlie] I loved him.
I always did.
[door opens]
Is it okay if I sleep here?
[Charlie] Of course.
[chuckles]
Is it okay with Jane?
[chuckles]
Maybe.
How long did you tell her?
[Kurt exhales]
A week.
I guess that's fine with her.
Maybe, that'll be long enough
for us to track down JK.
Is it okay with you?
Don't worry about that.
It's probably not great, uh,
for you and the baby.
Besides, I'm your Ugly, right?
[grunts]
[sighs]
Ugly.
[Charlie] Kurt.
[exhales, clears throat]
Hm?
Please will you tell me
what what happened?
With Jane, you mean?
[Charlie] Mm-hm.
I want to hear everything,
because I feel like I missed it. You know?
All of a sudden, you and her.
[Kurt] I'm so sorry,
I was distracted and I didn't tell you.
So here it is.
Video calls. Then we had a second date.
[chuckles]
A Third.
Fourth.
[Charlie] Wow.
That's how it happened.
[Kurt] Yeah.
I fell in love with Jane.
[somber music]
In love?
How did you know it was love?
How can you be sure?
[Kurt] I just am.
But how?
Well, she's
my unexpected journey and
thanks to you I'm in love.
You're welcome.
I feel like
I'm a
brand new person when I'm with her.
The person I wanted to be.
I feel
a lot better with her.
Jane has a magic that
makes me want to be more.
Do more, not just for myself,
but for her as well.
For our future.
[Kurt] That's what I love about her.
She makes me feel
alive.
Good night, Char.
[exhales]
[Charlie] Good night.
[upbeat music]
[man] Yeah, ask her.
I think it'd be a really good idea.
- Hey!
- [man] Don't you think?
- Good morning, Char. You ready?
- I am.
Oh, hey. Newfound friends, Elton and Olga.
- [Elton] Hey, nice to meet you.
- Hello.
My best friend, Charlie.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, sorry, we got to go.
Yeah.
Hope to see you in the morning.
What's going on?
They've, uh, invited us glamping
- for one night.
- Yeah.
Thanks, but we've got stuff
we gotta do, yeah?
We could go glamping
and take a different route.
And we can ask some locals
and we might be able to find him.
- Hm, that'd be great.
- [Elton] Great.
So see you 7:00 a.m., breakfast,
cappuccino, and then we'll leave.
[chuckles]
Great, great.
- All right, see you.
- See you.
- Have a good day.
- [Olga] Bye.
- [Charlie] How did we end up glamping?
- [Kurt] I don't know.
[dramatic music]
So you don't have his phone number?
Or contacts or social media?
[Charlie] Mm-mm.
[Kurt] No pictures?
[Charlie] Mm, they're on my old phone.
Okay, you had sex four times
with slight feelings.
And so what else do you know about him?
Uh, I'm trying to remember.
He's a photographer.
[Charlie] And
he said he wanted to go back home
since Manila had become so toxic.
Okay, can you describe him?
How would I describe him
[Charlie] Uh, about 5'9 ", 5'10".
- Tanned.
- [Kurt] His nose?
- [Charlie] He has big eyes.
- [Kurt] Nose?
[Charlie] Um, uh, a little sharp.
- [Kurt] Okay, what else?
- [Charlie] Tattoos. Uh, Koi fish.
Uh, writing, a dragon.
Uh, yeah.
[dramatic music]
What?
[Jane] Are you headed back soon?
- [Kurt] Yeah, just a few more days.
- All right, I miss you.
[chuckles]
I miss you too.
Take care driving, okay?
You don't know those roads.
All right. Take care.
I will. You too.
Bye, bye.
Bye. I love you.
I love you too.
How's Jane?
She just wants to know our progress.
[Charlie] She wants you to come home?
[Kurt] No, she's okay.
Kurt, you know, uh
[Charlie exhales heavily]
I'm sorry.
Hm?
What for?
Everything.
I can't believe that I dragged you
into this.
I am really sorry.
I'm such an idiot.
[laughs]
Why?
Relax.
I wanted to come here and help you, okay?
Whoosh.
You're just trying to make up
'cause you've been a
- [laughs]
- an absent best friend
for such a long time.
Okay. You're right.
But also
I wanna be here for you.
I missed you, Ugly.
[dramatic music]
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
Oh, hey, look at that.
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy and I hurry
[Charlie laughing]
[Kurt] Oh, cool, they're here.
- [tour guide] Good morning!
- [Elton] Okay, guys, let's go!
[Charlie] These windmills
look really powerful up close.
You know, miss,
these windmills have powers too.
If you want to say something to someone,
but can't say it directly,
because maybe that person is away
or you're too embarrassed to say it,
just whisper it to the windmills, miss.
And I'm sure,
your message will reach that person.
[Elton] Wow, that's so cool.
So you're saying,
I can send a message from here?
[tour guide] Yes, that's right, sir.
Wow.
And it is said that sometimes,
the windmills will pass up
secret thoughts and feelings.
[dramatic music]
I guess now is the best time to confess.
[Olga] Oh, hey!
[Elton] I love you, Rose! I'm going
to propose the next time I see you!
[Olga] You're supposed to just whisper it!
Oh, jeez.
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
[Charlie]
I want him to realize that it's me.
I am his lifetime partner.
I hope that he sees it should be me.
That I'm the one he should spend
the rest of his life with.
I loved him.
I always have.
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still I hope there's a chance
[distant chatter]
- Do you love him?
- [Charlie] Hm?
Uh um K-Kurt?
[chuckles]
[Charlie] Olga.
Kurt's my best friend.
But do you love him?
Let's put it this way.
After this whole trip,
we might not see each other again.
[Olga] So you can tell me anything.
And I'm getting
this different kind of vibe from you.
Like you're full of apprehension.
[Olga] And I think it's best
if you just let it all out.
And I promise,
your secret will be safe with me.
Hm.
[Elton chuckles]
It's a shame they're missing this.
[both laugh]
[sighs]
[somber music]
How'd you know?
The windmill whispered to me.
[Olga chuckles]
May I?
[Charlie] Hand?
Oh, dear.
Charlie.
This lie that you've been
keeping from Kurt
[somber music]
Get in.
Char.
Put your head back inside.
You might get hit by something.
I don't want to go back without you.
[Charlie snorts]
Aren't you frightened?
[Kurt] That's a really steep fall.
- One wrong step
- And you'll die.
It feels like I've already got
one foot in the grave.
I've heard in a life and death situation,
that, um
your mind flashes through all
the important events of your life.
What'll I see, I wonder.
I'll see the day we met.
- Don't react, just pretend you like me.
- What? Why?
- [Charlie grunts]
- [Kurt shrieks]
[laughs]
That's my favorite memory.
I'm sure it's what I'll see
in my last moments.
One of my most important memories.
The day we met.
[dramatic music]
And you?
Same.
I suspect that you'll be
in whatever flashback I have.
[Kurt chuckles]
I expect nothing less.
I can't imagine my life without you in it.
You are my constant.
[dramatic music]
[Kurt sighs]
[waves crashing]
Sorry, you can't get a signal.
And that you can't contact Jane.
[groans]
I'm sorry too, Ugly.
We couldn't locate JK.
[both chuckle]
[Charlie sighs]
I like it here.
Right here, right now.
It's a bit like being stuck in time.
[Charlie]
Like the world has stopped turning.
You won't be alone anymore.
You're having a child.
Yeah.
Are you still scared?
Of what?
Of a brand new chapter in your life.
I'm scared of everything.
Scared as hell.
[sniffles]
You know, in case, uh
we can't find JK
Or if we do find him
and he won't take responsibility,
I promise you,
I won't let you be alone, Ugly.
I'll never ever leave you,
like I promised your dad.
I'll always be here.
[gentle music]
- [Charlie] Hi, Ugly.
- [Kurt] Hi, Ugly.
- You look less stressed.
- [Charlie] Hm.
What are you looking at up there?
You see that?
[Kurt] The three stars in a line
I call them, The Three Marias.
Huh?
Uh, I don't see them.
Look, one, two
[romantic music]
[music rises]
[romantic music]
[somber music]
Ugly
[sighs]
[Charlie]
There's something you need to know.
Kurt I, uh
[dramatic music]
Kurt.
[music rises]
[waves crashing]
[Charlie sighs]
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Char.
Char.
[Kurt] Char!
Are you okay?
Is the baby okay?
I saw the blood.
I'm sorry.
[Charlie sobs]
I'm so sorry.
I'm not pregnant.
I know it was a terrible thing
to do to you.
[sobs]
Please understand that I was
I was desperate, Kurt.
Ugly, I couldn't stand seeing you
with somebody else.
[Charlie] And I realized that
I want to be the only one
who makes you smile.
I wanna be the one you joke with.
The only one that you truly, truly need.
All these years
I was looking for my lifetime partner
[somber music]
I wish I realized sooner, that I
That you're it.
[Charlie] I realize that now.
Kurt.
That's why I I don't want you to be with
Uh, look, I'm sorry.
I I know it was selfish. I know it was.
I don't even know why I
I was crazy with worry
that I'd lose you forever.
And then you said,
you were getting married to Jane and I
I just wanted us to spend
some time together.
Ugly, please. Please, listen to me.
[Charlie sobs]
I love you.
I always did.

Ugly, could you open the Hi!
[man] Yes?
Uh, is is Kurt here?

No, there's no Kurt living here.
Just me.
Oh.
Oh, sorry to bother you.
Thanks, anyway.

He probably thought that

You just got really confused
He's gonna be okay.

[Charlie] Kurt.
I know you're there.
I was hoping we could talk.
[sobs]
I know I'm the one who caused this mess.
But I'll do anything. Anything.
Whatever you want.
Just just please forgive me.
[sobbing]
I'll understand if you don't want
to talk to me anymore.
I really will
I just need you to tell me is all.
I just need to know.
[Charlie sobbing over phone]
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry for what I did to you.
Goodbye, Charlie.
[sobs]
[somber music]
[water flowing]
[Shelby] You need a new hobby.
How about trying pottery
or watching K-dramas?
You know you can't be like that forever.
Right?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[music rises]
[somber music]
[Charlie] And now, here I am.
Looking back at regret.
My own nightmare is catching up with me.
I thought I'd moved on already.
But when I saw him tonight, I knew
this is so far
from being a closed chapter.
Fuck!
Is there anybody out there?
[Kurt clears throat]
- Kurt.
- I think I need a lifeline
["Titanic" by HARLOW playing]
I've been drifting

Looking for the sunrise
Sometimes it feels like
We're so far away
Trying to keep our heads
Above the waves
I'm getting married, Char.
Um, oh, getting married?
I, uh, thought you had already.
But, uh congrats.
Congrats to you and Jane.
Not Jane.
Huh?
Uh
[chuckles]
Who then?
It's Bianca.
Do you remember Ambo?
He was
uh, manager of the bar.
She's his best friend, an architect.
She found me when I was a mess.
How come you're here?
Because Kurt
I'm okay now.
I'm in a good place.
Your visit is unfair.
I worked hard to be in a good place.
And, um
it wasn't easy.
And I'm back in that shitty place now.
[exhales heavily]
My life, again in turmoil.
[thumping]
[exhales]
I mean, what's it been? Three years?
[somber music]
Three years of trying to move on from
Look, Char. I'm sorry.
I just felt like I needed to see you.
I'm about to get married and
I felt like I wanted
to tell my best friend.
- [Kurt] This is awkward.
- [chuckles]
[somber music]
[breathes heavily]
[Charlie sobs]
I'm not crying because of you.
I'm crying because I'm starving.
[both laugh]
Are you still working in post-production?
Mm-hm. Mm.
I am. Uh, but in another office.
It's still in that area,
just a different place.
And you, um You at the bar?
[Kurt] I shut it down.
After a year, I wasn't getting a return,
so I let it go.
We're in franchising now.
- Mm. Ha! Isn't that good as well?
- Yeah, so far.
- It's me and Bianc's. Hm.
- Mm.
[Charlie laughing]
- Shit, I really said that?
- Mm-hm.
- [Charlie whining]
- And you even said to the teacher,
- "Hey, Jenny, don't they come in threes?"
- [laughs]
Oh my God, I'm an embarrassing drunk!
[shrieks softly]
Ah well, you invent a lot of stories.
Invent stories?
Um, what story did I invent?
[soft music]
[laughs]
Well
The one where we had sex.
I didn't invent that.
Sorry, but it wasn't true.
- [Charlie moaning]
- [Kurt laughing]
Ugly.
[Charlie moaning]
Oh, shit. What are you doing, dumbass?
I'll get you some clothes.
[Charlie panting]
[laughs]
No way?
Mm
Shit.
[laughs]
Okay.
Thanks to that, I now need a beer.
[laughs]
All right.
But, uh, no sex, okay?
[Charlie laughs]
Fuck you.
So, um
Bianca.
Yes. Bianca.
What is she like?
Oh, you're interested?
Of course, I'm interested, Kurt.
You're getting married.
- That doesn't happen every day.
- [Kurt laughs]
Well, um
she's two years older than us.
Focused.
Driven.
She has a very dry, dark sense of humor.
Sometimes it seems offensive,
but uh, she doesn't mean it.
Like, how?
Okay, so we went
to her grandmother's funeral.
And you know that visitors' book?
And in it, people write, uh, messages?
Mm, yeah, with the name and details
of the deceased.
Yeah, yeah.
So we were in line with her aunt,
and her aunt
was just about to sign her name.
And Bianca says, "You know it's a raffle
and if you win, you'll be the next to go."
[laughter]
- That's great.
- Yeah. You two will get along really well.
[sighs]
You told her about me?
Mm.
Everything.
[Charlie] What did she say?
[somber music]
You really wanna know?
That you're really stupid
for letting me go.
[somber music]
[sobs]
So stupid.

[Charlie] Mistakes and regret are painful,
but it's never too late
to begin a new chapter.
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy and I hurry
I'm so excited to see you
And my heart beats faster
And then I see you waiting
Outside my door
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
Because we are
Just friends
["Panaginip" by Lovi Poe continues]
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still
I hope there's a chance
Will we end up together?

[performer] Good evening, everyone.
Welcome to Donnalyn's Bar and Grill
here at Roxas Boulevard.
And to those who are hungry,
dig in and order whatever you want.
And those of you who are drinking,
keep drinking till you can't anymore.
One day, the one you love will return.
They'll be right back in your arms.
Yeah, am I right?
Your one true love, they're gonna return.
Enough of that, girl! Come on!
[woman] Yeah, let's go! Let's go, come on!
Okay. Okay.
I'm going to start with an original song.
Cover is not original, please.
[woman] Yeah, play something we know. God!
Uh, you're right.
Got it. Let's do that, then.

KURT - UGLY - MY "UGGO"
The pain
and the huge void that is left.
SO NERVOUS!
They've been in your life so long.
You make the mistake of thinking
they'll be there forever
your whole life.
But shit happens.
And that someone,
who we were always so close to
ANOTHER HEARTBREAK
THANKS, UGGO, FOR BEING HERE.
suddenly becomes a stranger to us.

THANKS, UGGO, FOR BEING THERE!
CONGRATS, UGGO!
YOUR OWN BAR!
HAPPY TO BE WITH THE GANG!
Three years ago,
I made the worst decision of my life.
A decision so bad
that things irrevocably changed.
And went to shit.
And I mean
shit.
[woman over phone]
See? I told you.
Platonic, my ass.
[performer over phone]
Oh, God. I'm sorry I told you.
[woman] Damn girl,
look at the mess you created.
Are you out of your mind?
[performer] Fine.
- I know I'm an idiot.
- [woman sighs]
What were you thinking?
Are you totally crazy?
[groans]
So he found out,
what are you gonna tell him?
You have to confess now, you know.
And this is what comes
from all your platonic rubbish, yeah?
[woman] Think about it, okay? Because
you're putting your friendship at risk.
Maybe you're just jealous.
Do you think Jane
stole your best friend from you?
[somber music]
[woman] Charlie? You still there?
Charlie? Did you hang up?
Did you even hear me?
- I've been talking this whole time.
- [Charlie] Okay, hear me out.
I'm not perfect.
[somber music]
Things happened that led me to this.
So let me tell you the story
of how I lost the only person I loved
because of my own stupidity.
[Charlie] Morning, Ugly.
Rise and shine.
[dramatic music]
Hey.
- Come on, Ugly.
- Char, come on.
It's early.
[Charlie] I still need to buy a gift
for my godson. Come on.
[Kurt] Later.
- Out of bed.
- Ow! Stop.
[groans]
[sighs deeply]
[Charlie] Ugly!
[Charlie] You are coming
to my godson's birthday, right?
[Kurt chuckles]
Every time you want to go home to Laguna,
automatically you want me to drive you.
Oh my God, are you complaining about this?
Well, I always pay for the tolls
and the gas by the way.
And you know there's going to be food,
so you're gonna love it.
[Kurt] Hm
I don't know.
Ugly
I don't wanna go without you.
I can't go all by myself.
You know what'll happen.
Everyone will be seated
and then everyone
will go their separate ways.
And I'll be stuck there sitting all alone.
So? What's wrong with being by yourself?
I'm about to turn 32. 32!
The clock's ticking, Ugly!
Oh, my God. Did you know
all I can think about is that by now
my husband and I
should be buying our new home
and expecting our third baby?
All my friends are leaving me behind.
[groans loudly]
Don't worry about your friend.
Don't pressure yourself
with that self-imposed timeline.
Or better yet, exit that road.
[Charlie] And what about you, Ugly?
Don't you want a girlfriend?
Aren't you tired of being single?
No one to cuddle.
No one to text you, "Good morning",
"Good night", "I love you", "Did you eat?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Can I pick you up?"
Well, that's you really. And one's enough.
- [snorts]
- Ugly, the point I'm making is
- if you want a long-term relationship
- Oh.
put yourself out there and not on apps.
What have you got against apps?
You're so old-fashioned.
Are you frightened that an app
is gonna take away your control?
- [exclaims]
- I'm just making a point, Ugly. Right?
And maybe give Hans a chance.
Huh?
Well, you said he's been asking you out
for two years, yeah?
He obviously likes you.
And I think you should go out.
Why do you keep on pushing
this Hans thing?
It must be like the seventh time
that you've said this.
Oh, please. What are you saying?
You push me into online dating, don't you?
[Kurt] You're just the same, Ugly.
My point is, just try real life.
Okay.
I'll try. Yup.
On one condition.
Okay, I'll do what you want. I'll try it.
Yes, I'll go out with Hans.
And so, you will try a dating app,
then we can prove our points
to each other.
And if I click with Hans
out there in the great big real world
Okay, then you will have made your point.
But if you swipe right
and you get a spark with a perfect girl
[imitates swiping sound]
Then my point will be made, hm?
[upbeat music playing on headphones]
- Char?
- Hm?
We're, um we're thinking of ordering out.
Do you want something to eat?
- Uh, no, thanks.
- Sure?
- Mm-hm, I'm okay.
- Uh, okay.
[sighs deeply]
Hans.
Um, I don't wanna order in.
But, uh, how about we eat out?
- Okay.
- Mm-hm, okay.
Hang on.
[Charlie laughs]
Why'd he do that?
[Hans] He said,
"Your audio doesn't sound right.
It sounds like it's been dubbed over.
Next time you call for a meeting,
make sure everything's polished".
What the hell? It wasn't dubbed at all!
Oh, I know that feeling.
I had a producer,
he wanted a score, a wall-to-wall score,
but the director The director
cut like half of everything I did.
What an asshole!
Damn, how frustrating.
But it was okay because I just used it
for a different project.
[both laughing]
- [watch beeps]
- Uh-oh.
It's already been an hour.
- [Hans] Should we go?
- Let's go.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, hang on.
- Ah?
Oh
[Charlie] Oh.
[chuckles]
[dramatic music]
- [Hans] Good to go.
- Thanks very much.
- [Charlie] Hi! What's up?
- [woman] Oh, how are you?
So good to see you.
[smooches]
Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- [Charlie] Here, I got you a piece
even if no one else is eating.
[Kurt] I've been looking at this
since we arrived.
Yeah, I got you some because I know
carrot cake is your favorite.
Uh, jeez, this is eye-opening.
It looks like raising a family
is expensive.
[groans]
What happened?
You've already changed your mind?
Last week you were, "I wanna settle down."
Now you've changed your mind.
Oh, my God. It's so hard to know.
What do I want?
Lord, please help me.
Good?
[chuckles]
So good.
- [Kurt chuckling]
- [Charlie exclaiming]
So good!
[all clapping]
[Charlie] Hey.
So I ended up going out with Hans.
- Really?
- Mm.
- You finally went out?
- Mm.
- Congrats, Ugly.
- [Charlie giggles]
So, come on, I was right.
It was good. Your turn.
Turn?
You know our deal, I did mine,
so now it's your turn.
Time for you and online dating.
[laughter]
[all exclaiming]
[laughter]
[indistinct chattering]
[all squealing]
- [laughter]
- [friend 1] PDA!
That's a PDA!
- Come on, stop!
- [overlapping chatter]
[laughter]
You've gotta open your mouth
a little bit more.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [laughter]
- [all exclaim]
- [Charlie gasps]
- [smooches]
- [friend 2] What's with that?
- Look at them.
- [friend 3] What?
- You two are so close.
- [laughter]
- [friend 1] Come on.
- Ah, before we continue
I have to ask something.
Have you ever, ah,
sexy time with each other?
[friend 2] Just between us.
[snorts]
Uh, ha! No!
That was just one time.
But we realized after that,
that it just wasn't for us.
It was too gross,
we're just platonic, yeah.
We realized that then.
Shels, you knew?
- Spill!
- [gasps]
[overlapping chatter and laughter]
What on earth was that?
Oh, shut up! It was one drunken night
and we were just wasted.
And it was super hot.
[laughter]
[Charlie] Kurt just broke up with,
hm, Joana.
And I just broke up with
Uh, who was that again?
Anyway, we were both sad, AKA horny.
So there you have it! We did it!
- [overlapping chatter]
- [friend 2] So you were drunk?
Oh, but I swear! Only one time!
One time, right?
[Charlie gasps]
Ugly.
Oh, my God! We had sex!
[groans loudly]
We had sex. Oh, my God!
[Kurt sighs]
Oi! Say something.
[Charlie] When we woke up the next day,
besides the hangover,
it was so weird.
Oh, Ugly, why did we do it?
Oh my God, when we got up
[all exclaiming and laughing]
[friend 4] That must've been crazy.
[Charlie] Like, whoa.
- Oh, that. Okay.
- [friend 1] Come on, keep playing.
[chuckles]
Like that
[laughter]
[dramatic music]
Whatever. Stop it!
- [Kurt] Look! Check it out.
- [Charlie] This is great.
Minimalist, yeah?
Over here, we could have
like a full band setup.
- Or even just a stool.
- This is nice.
Solo acoustic grand opening.
Idiot, you know you don't even have
to ask. Of course I will.
And at the opening,
I need an extra mouth to feed.
[Charlie] Ah?
- Well, I won't eat breakfast.
- Okay.
'Cause I need to finalize the menu.
- And I want you to taste the food first.
- [phone chimes]
- Who's that?
- [phone chimes]
Oh, Hans. I think he wants to go out.
- So
- Oh. Then, answer him.
[groans]
- [Charlie groans]
- [phone keys clacking]
Oh, right. Sorry. You were saying?
I'll try your dating app.
For real? You're serious?
- [chuckles]
- Oh my God, I'm so excited!
- Give me your phone and I'll help you
- Hang on, hang on.
- On one condition.
- Ugh, what's the problem?
Ugly, this is hard for me.
You know I've swallowed my pride.
I'm so happy.
Char.
- Okay, make me an account.
- I'm trying.
And find me the perfect lady.
I promise I'll go on a date.
And if there isn't any kind of spark,
well, then I'll know
my ideal woman isn't on your app.
[scoffs]
Anything else?
Well, it's your thing, isn't it?
So do your magic and prove me wrong.
We have to upload a photograph.
And it has to be bad,
so that they can love you for who you are.
Okay, so stick out your tongue.
[camera shutter clicks]
[upbeat music]
Hello?
Yes, I'm the one who's handling this.
Kurt? Well, it's a poser account.
I'm Kurt's best friend
and he wants me to handle it.
Oh, I Hello?
[hair dryer whirring]
[phone chimes]
Yes? Huh?
[groans loudly]
Really?
Oh?
Oh, okay. On my way.
[Charlie] Oh, my God!
[squeals]
My name is Jona.
I'm Alice.
I'm Drea.
Rihanna.
Why did you agree to meet me
even though it's a poser account?
- I'm curious.
- Well, I really appreciated
when you came like clean.
I mean, for me, that's a plus, yeah.
'Cause it's exciting.
Kurt looks like he's responsible.
I feel like he's made it, yeah?
Something I look for in a husband.
[awkward chuckle]
"Husband."
I'm a very simple girl.
We can hang out and chill.
And then, you know
we'll watch K-dramas and stuff.
[squeals]
Oh, my God.
I feel like the stars are all aligned.
I don't like guys who are 5'5" or smaller.
He's 5'7", isn't he?
- [awkward chuckle]
- So, you know
my mom wants to make sure he's taller.
And you understand,
the whole family needs to be happy.
I can cook rabbits,
rats, and snakes.
Your hand says
you're gonna have three children.
Really?
Well, Chloe doesn't even know her dad.
Look after your lifeline, alright?
And you know, you can drink your pee
if there's nothing else.
[muttering]
[mutters]
[sobbing]
Are you okay?
No!
[sobbing continues]
[Alice] I can't even
I can't. I can't even
[waiter]
And here is your carrot cake, ma'am.
[Charlie groans]
[soft jazz music playing]
[waiter] Good morning, sir.
What can I get for you today?
[quirky music]
Hello! Waiter!
[waiter] Yes, ma'am?
Who made this?
Ah, yes! That's our bestseller.
And it's our boss who's our head baker.
Please tell me your boss is a woman.
- [Charlie] Please!
- Uh, there she is at the counter.
[waiter] Madam Jane.
[gentle music]
[Charlie] There she is.
The perfect girl for Kurt.
His "lifetime" partner.
I didn't find her on a dating app,
but it's fine.
[pants]
I'll find a way.
[mouthing]
What's her full name?
[waiter] Oh, it's Jane Montemayor.
[gentle music]
[Charlie] She's been running
her caf restaurant for five years,
and she already has
another branch in the south.
Imagine, Kurt, 28 years old,
she's just 28 years old!
It's impressive, no?
Mm-hm. And does she know
I'm five years older than she is?
What? What's the problem
with you being five years older?
Why would she agree to meet you
if it was a problem for her?
It's okay, truly.
Okay.
Um, Ugly, it will be fine.
But here's the best news.
Her carrot cake so amazing.
Ugly, you know my carrot cake
standards are high.
[Charlie] I know.
I know all about your standards.
I'm so proud, it's like way, way, way
above your standards for carrot cake.
[laughs]
You really like her, huh?
I'm just proud of myself
'cause I found you the perfect girl.
The perfect girl, the best carrot cake,
- you're so lucky.
- Is she free this weekend?
- This weekend?
- Mm-hm.
I'm excited to meet this perfect woman.
[quirky music]
Uh, of course she is!
She's free this weekend.
- [Kurt] Okay.
- [awkward chuckle]
She'll be there.
- What are you talking about?
- Are you excited?
Of course, I'm excited.
[giggles]
Come on, we'll sit.
You sit there.
[soft gentle music playing]
- Ugly. Ugly!
- Hm?
- She won't stand me up, will she?
- What? Why would she?
Chill. Besides, she said 7:00 to 7:15.
She might be busy in the kitchen.
[Kurt] Okay. Okay, fine.
Uh, should I order?
- Like drinks or something?
- Mm Mm-hm.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Hello, good evening.
[Charlie] I'll have, uh
Ugly
[gasps]
[squeals softly]
Uh, hold on. Thanks.
Uh uh Hi!
Yes?
The best.
As in, the best carrot cake in the world.
Oh, I'm glad you like it.
How many carrot cakes do you have left?
Um
I think we still have eight.
Eight?
Yes, it's our most popular,
- so we bake a lot of them.
- [chuckles]
[whispering, then chuckles awkwardly]
- Give me all eight.
- All eight?
- On one condition.
- Huh?
That you have a cup of coffee
with my best friend, Kurt.
- What?
- [Charlie] Ten minutes!
I promise, ten minutes only.
- [Charlie] Jane, just ten minutes.
- Wait, uh, how do you know my name?
[chuckles]
Uh uh, funny story.
Uh
So I was here, um, um,
about last week or so.
And I told him
your carrot cake was the best.
The best carrot cake in the world,
so I asked for your name.
And then I found you on social media.
So please
he's a good guy, I promise.
The best guy in the world.
I I promise you
as in like the best guy.
Ten minutes,
a coffee, that's it really.
Trust me.
Okay.
- [Charlie squeals]
- Yeah.
[playful music]
HEY UGGO, HOW'S IT GOING??
[phone chimes]
- [Kurt] Sorry.
- [Jane] No, it's fine. I understand.
[Charlie] Hm, too busy, huh?
[sighs]
I'm so great.
[exclaims]
I'm the greatest.
Charlie.
You're the most!
I know.
[Jane] Your friend is quite something,
I'm like what?
KURBOOK A GRAB, UGGO.
[sighs]
[dramatic music]
[sighs]
Oh, Ugly
At last, you met the one.
[Charlie] Who knew that from here,
it was all downhill for me
and Kurt.
- [Charlie] Hi, Ugly!
- Oh, you're here, huh?
Well, I texted you,
although it looked like
you were just far too busy with Jane.
[Charlie] Hm, I wonder why?
How was the date?
What's that smell?
I cooked, but I haven't eaten.
Hm, what's up?
[chuckles]
You forgot to mention an important detail.
So, what'd you buy?
- [Charlie snorts, laughs]
- Don't change the subject, you liar.
- Oh, but it was good, right?
- [Kurt laughs]
So good you bought eight of them.
Sorry.
But I was right.
Tell me I was.
Yes, you were right.
The carrot cake was delicious.
Not about that! Come on!
I'm talking about you and Jane.
Come on, spill the beans.
There were sparks,
and fireworks everywhere, right?
- You're soul mates, like B1 and B2.
- [chuckles]
So did Jane pass? Did I win? I won, right?
Hey, Jane wasn't on your list
of perfect girl applicants.
Besides, you just found her.
She wasn't even on your dating app.
Wait! But she was on the dating app!
[groans]
It's just that you two
didn't find each other,
until I helped you. You're welcome.
So, second date?
[Charlie] Tell me!
- [Kurt] I'm taking a shower.
- [Charlie groans]
[grunts]
You're such a jerk!
- [Kurt] I'm taking a shower.
- [Charlie] Come on, tell me.
- Come on!
- [Kurt] Go eat first.
[knocks on door]
Please! Come on, Ugly!
What happened? I want all the details!
Please!
I CAN'T, UGGO. DON'T BE ANNOYING!
FINAL ANSWER?
FINAL. GO ENJOY! JUST UPDATE ME. YIEEE
GIVE ME AN UPDATE!
Char!
Oh! Yeah, okay.
[upbeat music]
[thumps]
[Charlie] Go!
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! What?
Hey, wow! You weren't looking at all.
[muttering]
Kiss.
[laughter]
- Ah! Yes! Ah!
- [laughter]
I got it! Oh, wow!
First time.
[Hans shrieks, laughs]
[whoops]
Ten tickets!
Oh, yeah!
[laughter]
- Oh!
- Yeah, baby!
Come on! Come on!
- [Charlie] One last time.
- Last.
- [thumps]
- Whoa! Yeah!
[Hans laughs]
[Charlie laughs]
- Come on! Come on!
- Here, take that!
- You got lucky!
- Yes!
[Charlie giggles]
- One, two
- [camera shutter clicks]
[exhales heavily]
[breathes deeply]
[dramatic music]
[phone keys clacking]
JUST GOT HOME!
I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL HERE.
HE BOUGHT THE TICKETS.
WHAT A GENTLEMAN!
JUST GOT HOME!
I THINK THERE'S POTENTIAL HERE.

CALL ENDED
And my little cousins were there,
and like, they're like, "da, da, da, da,"
jeez, they can run around.
Oh, they are full on.
- And my grandfather was like
- [phone ringing]
Ugly?
[groans]
Yes.
Oh, sorry, we're just getting coffee.
Mm-hm, we're on our way back. Yes, boss.
The director needs us.
[groans]
So I have a question. Where is Baby Kurt?
Yeah, it's weird he didn't drive you.
I don't know.
Um, um He's at the bar a lot.
That might be the reason.
- Mm.
- Busy at the bar.
- Mm.
- He must be busy, right?
Ah Hm
I thought it would be because he's out
with Jane all the time these days.
[Shelby chuckles]
- [Charlie] Um, have you seen Kurt?
- Yes, ma'am. He's over here.
[Charlie] Oh. Oh, thanks.
- [Kurt] So could you follow it up, please?
- [staff] Yeah, yeah.
- 'Cause it might not get here on time.
- Sure.
- [Charlie] Ugly.
- Okay. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
- Char.
- Hi, Ugly.
[Charlie] Have you eaten yet?
Uh, yeah. But bring it on.
- [Charlie] Ugly
- Careful.
The premiere of our film
is on this weekend.
You're still coming along, right?
If you want, you can bring Jane.
- This weekend?
- Yes. On Saturday.
- Saturday.
- [phone chimes]
Is that a yes?
I'll need to check.
Wow.
It's becoming hard to invite you out.
Well, it's crunch time, you know.
Okay.
[phone keys clacking]
Oh, did you hear?
V was rushed to the hospital
- for an emergency C-section today.
- [phone chimes]
Huh? How is she?
No, she's fine. I think it went well.
I don't really wanna go straight away,
she should relax.
[laughs]
Um, I heard it's a three or four-day
recovery period for a C-section.
We'll visit in a day or two.
Ugly?
Oh, I almost forgot that you can't go
anywhere these days
because you're just so damn busy.
Who is it?
[laughs]
It's work.
It's work, my ass.
Is it Jane?
Char.
[Charlie clicks tongue]
[somber music]
Yeah, Char, the opening
Don't forget, you are playing.
Of course I am,
I already said I would, didn't I?
- How many songs?
- Up to you.
A whole concert if you like.
[laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
[Charlie harmonizing]
[Charlie whooping]
[giggling]
Go, Char!
Okay! Okay! Whoa!
Okay.
[giggles]
Okay, okay. Come on, you guys.
There's more to come.
But calm down, everyone,
because I can't, um
I can't keep up with your energy levels
tonight, everybody.
[Charlie] Okay, so any requests?
- I can play anything you want!
- [man] Something sad.
- A sad song?
- Sing a sad song for the broken heart!
- We got a broken heart in this corner.
- [crowd cheering]
This song is for you. Okay.
All right. Here we go.
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy, and I hurry
- [friend] Oh, finally, we're meeting Jane.
- Hey.
I'm so excited to see you
And my heart beats faster
And then I see you see
Waiting outside my door
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
Because we are
Just friends
[cheers and applause]
[indistinct shouts]
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still
I hope there's a chance
Will we end up together?
I don't think
[Jane chuckles]
And how about you, Shelby?
Can you tell the difference
between mechado and afritada?
FYI. There are peas in afritada.
- Babe, shut up.
- That's caldereta.
- [laughter]
- Oh, my God.
Why are we talking
about mechado versus afritada?
[overlapping chatter]
Well, I agree, it causes confusion.
That's one of the reasons
I prefer to bake.
Because it's easy to tell the difference
between chocolate cake and vanilla cake.
[chuckles]
Witty.
- White is different to brown.
- Okay. Wait, wait, wait.
So
We've been hearing, from a little birdie,
that your carrot cake is so good
that Char set you up
with our Baby Kurt here.
So do tell us, spill the beans.
Yes! My eternal gratitude, Ugly.
Well, it's a good thing she said yes.
She wasn't even on the list
of Charlie's poser account of love.
She was so persistent.
[Kurt] Well, how can you say no when she
bought eight boxes of that carrot cake?
[friend] Oh, big spender, Cha.
Just to get Jane to say yes.
So what's the deal?
Is it a yes or a yes?
[Kurt chuckles]
[all exclaim]
[friend] Come on, spill the beans.
We're all friends here.
Friends?
Yes. Friends.
We're just, you know,
enjoying each other's company.
[snickers]
He's enjoying it so much
that he forgets to reply to my texts.
[somber music]
Ooh! Uh, how about we ask
Hans and Charlie, right?
Uh, so Hm?
Spill the beans, you two.
[Hans chuckles]
Uh, actually I was about to, uh
[Hans chuckles]
Uh, Charlie?
[Charlie vomits]
- [friend 1] Oh, my.
- [friend 2] Oh, my God.
- [friend 3] Charlie, are you okay?
- [Kurt] Hans, Hans, I got it.
- [overlapping chatter]
- [Charlie retching]
- [coughs]
- Tissue.
- [indistinct chatter]
- Hey, do something.
[friend 1] Oh, damn.
Charlie's at it again.
Shelby, did she puke a lot?
- Ahh
- [friend] Shels
Yeah! There's an awful lot of it
down there.
Hey, don't worry. They'll clean up.
[retching]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[Kurt shushing]
Have you forgotten already?
You made a promise.
[Charlie sighs]
You promised my father.
You, sir, made a promise
and this is a big deal.
You made a promise, Ugly!
[sobbing]
You promised! You promised!
[sobbing continues]
You made a promise.
[Charlie]
That promise wasn't a random thing.
It's something from Kurt
that I held on to my whole life.
It's something he gave to me
the night we first met
more than 15 years ago.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] Come here.
I'll introduce you to my dad.
Hi, Daddy.
How are you?
I brought my friend.
This is
What's your name again?
- Kurt.
- Right, this is Kurt, Daddy.
Daddy, this is Kurt. Kurt, this is my dad.
He's my newfound friend. He's Kurt.
He's like my new best friend.
And he's never gonna leave me.
Hm?
Am I right? Come on, tell my dad.
[Charlie] Go on.
Don't embarrass me in front of my dad.
I promise I will not leave Charlie.
[Charlie chuckles]
See?
He's not like you and Mommy. He won't go.
- Right?
- That's right.
He wants assurance.
How?
Okay, listen.
[clears throat]
Uh, raise your right hand.
Let's go.
Here we go. "I"
[dramatic music]
Kurt. Kurt Marcial Santos
- "do solemnly swear"
- do solemnly swear
"upon the ashes of the father
of Charlie Sofia Manansala."
upon the ashes of the father of Charlie
[Charlie whispers]
Sofia.
Sofia Manansala.
- "That I will never ever leave her"
- I will never ever leave her
"no matter no matter the trials
and challenges that life presents us,
I won't work overseas, I won't die.
And I will never be like Jen.
I'll be here forever,
no matter the circumstances.
I promise never ever to leave her."
[music fades]
It's your turn, repeat it, jerk.
[snickers]
Sorry. It was too long to remember.
[both laughing]
Daddy Bert, I promise
I will never leave Charlie.
[both laughing]
- [Charlie] Say all of it!
- Oh, my God!
[laughing continues]
Why does it have to be such a big,
long promise?
[Charlie] And now,
it looks like I'm on the verge
of suffering from a broken promise,
and I'm all to blame.
I know.
[somber music]
[groaning]
Oh, boy.
KURGOOD MORNING, UGGO.
DON'T WORRY, IT WAS JANE
WHO CHANGED YOUR CLOTHES.
YOU WERE THROWING UP
LIKE CRAZY LAST NIGHT.
[groaning]
[sighing]
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[groans]
We're friends now? How nice.
[groaning]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[whining]
- [groaning]
- [doorbell rings]
- Hi!
- Hi.
I brought something for you.
[Charlie groans]
May I come in?
Sorry, I'm still hungover. Come in.
- [Hans] You just sit down.
- Thank you.
- [Hans] I'll make it for you, okay?
- Okay.
[Charlie] Mm, go on.
[Charlie groaning]
They're mostly near the sink. Thanks.
[exhales]
What did you bring?
[Hans] Homemade sinigang with watermelon.
Oh, yum. Thank you.
[Hans] Here.
- Eat it while it's hot.
- Oh, my God.
[Hans] I also brought some drip coffee.
[Charlie] Mm
[dishes clattering]
Oh, it's good.
I also brought you some drinks
to rehydrate.
Thank you.
- [Hans] I'll put them in here.
- Go ahead.
Wow. You're so organized.
What I'm not able to do with my own life,
I do in my house.
Ooh, cynical.
Char.
Do you and I still have a chance?
[somber music]
[sighs]
When it seemed like
you'd finally noticed me
after years of being invisible to you.
You know, that felt good.
I was so happy. I thought
maybe this is it.
But, uh, last night
[kettle whistling]
Uh, well, it
it was like, once again,
you didn't see me.
It was like I didn't exist.
[Charlie] I know.
I should have seen this coming.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] My mother told me
that all men are one of three types.
There's the fling guy. He'll come
when it's cold outside or raining.
The type of guy who shows up in summer.
Yeah, and uh, quarterly, annually,
Christmas, and Valentine's Day.
And you call that guy a season.
[dramatic music]
[playful music]
[indistinct chatter]
[facilitator] Okay, everybody,
please take your seats.
Make sure you have your pencil,
paper, and art materials with you.
Our models have agreed
to pose for 30 minutes each
so you guys can have
more time to polish your work.
[upbeat music]
[music continues]
Which part of "you don't have to come"
don't you understand?
It's a surprise, dumbass!
And I'm wondering what you don't
understand about this.
Because it's our monthiversary
and I'm here to celebrate with you.
Fuck monthiversary! Are you a child?
Say that once more.
- [man] Never mind. You just don't get it.
- [facilitator] Artists, let's continue.
Okay, fine, but months down the track,
I don't want to hear you saying
that you never saw me
make much of an effort, right?
You're grumbling about my support now,
but I bet you'll be like,
"She never makes an effort, does she?"
I'm sorry if you're looking
that far ahead.
But this was never gonna be serious.
[man] You're fun, Charlie,
but I think we're done.
[somber music]
[Charlie sobbing]
Three months, no?
January, February, March, April
[laughs]
I beat you!
Pay up! Three months, I won!
You want payment now?
You know I'm brokenhearted.
[Charlie]
I even made a big ridiculous scene.
I'm so embarrassed.
Oh, I'm so stupid.
[Charlie] Sorry's all you can say?
When you know I gave you
three months of my life.
Give me that.
I mean, wasted three months!
This is for our second monthiversary!
Third monthiversary!
And I'm not gonna say sorry
that I wasted three months of your life!
Ooh, and you better fix that!
It's not even that big.
And the cold champagne shower
appears to have made it look even smaller.
[Charlie] Keep it real, asshole.
Peace out.
Do you know what I realized?
That he never cared for me at all!
[Charlie sobs]
I was going all out with giving
and giving. But I got nothing in return.
[sobbing]
God damn it, I'm so tired.
[sobbing continues]
So tired.
Perhaps, you should take a break.
You're acting like there's no more fish
in the sea.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] Be kind.
I was excited.
Excited to meet my lifetime partner.
The thing is, he doesn't seem
to be looking for me.
[sobs]
[Charlie] How do I find him
if he's not looking for me?
I need rice.
- Rice?
- [sobbing continues]
[Kurt] Okay, okay.
Let's buy something with rice.
- [Charlie] Okay, but your treat.
- [Kurt] Yeah, let's go eat.
[dramatic music]
[Kurt] So, Ed,
what category did he fall under?
"A season."
I dated him because it was it was nice
to have someone on Valentine's Day.
- [Kurt laughs]
- People come into your life
and you love them intensely.
Oh my God, you love them so so much
but then,
when it's over,
you look back and you see how
and why it didn't work out.
You know who my favorite was?
Who?
The first guy.
- Jonas.
- Jonas.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] He was one of my favorites too.
He was my first in a lot of things.
The first time I ever held hands.
[dreamy music]
And our second summer together,
my first kiss.
[giggles]
[young Charlie squealing]
But I should've known.
The third summer, I waited for him.
I didn't like any other boys
the whole year.
I thought perhaps the following summer
we might finally do it.
But I never saw him again.
He got someone pregnant.
And there I was,
excited to go to second base,
and all he wanted was a home run.
I was so heartbroken. But at least
[Kurt] Skip the details, please.
You've told me that a million times,
how you and him did it at the beach.
Enough already.
Do you know what I think is funny?
- That you were so invested in Tuneng.
- [Charlie] Uh-oh.
And you went around trying to find him
the whole following summer.
And you came along with me.
Hey, Ugly, I'm your best friend.
You just say where and when,
and I'll be there.
Aw, I'm so touched. I'm so touched, Ugly.
Uh, you know the one I disliked the most
Who?
That boss of yours.
[Charlie giggles]
Wait a minute.
- Get out of the way!
- [Charlie] Ha, careful!
[Charlie] Yes, it was a mistake
falling for my boss.
- [indistinct shouts]
- [Kurt] Who was married.
[Charlie] Lesson learned. Don't go dancing
with anyone but your darling.
[Kurt] So what category was Nicko?
[Charlie] "A reason."
I learned a lot from that experience.
The third one is the most special.
And the most elusive.
The lifetime partner.
[Charlie] The one who's forever.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] I thought Alab was going to be
my lifetime partner.
[Kurt] Honestly, I could never keep up
with his lifestyle and image.
[Charlie] Hey. I was a vegan
for a year and a half, you know.
[Kurt] Cheating aside?
[Charlie] Although, near the end of it,
I did realize something was up.
[playful music]
He wouldn't go down on me.
Because of his religion, he said.
[Kurt] Oh, I get it,
vegans don't eat living things.
Sounds like an excuse to me.
[Charlie] Eh! So when he decided to go up
the mountains for the Nights of Babaylan,
I said, "Go. Yeah, whatever you like.
I really don't care."
I was fine with being a vegan.
Except you can't not give me the orgasms
- that I love more than anything.
- [Kurt laughs]
It was a cult! He was crazy.
You're right, Ugly. It was a cult.
[somber music]
[Charlie sighs deeply]
A lifetime.
[dramatic music]
[Charlie] I was blind.
I didn't realize
that I was looking for my lifetime partner
in all the wrong places.
[dramatic music]
But I should've been looking
[Charlie sighs]
at the person right in front of me.
[dramatic music]
[gentle music]
[line ringing]
[somber music]
[groans]
[gentle music]
- [gasps]
- [music stops]
[romantic music]
[music continues]
- [Charlie sneezes]
- [Jane] Huh?
- What's that?
- [Kurt] Nothing, nothing.
[Charlie sneezes]
Charlie?
[Kurt] Charlie.
[door closes]
[Kurt] Jane.
Let me explain.
I can drive you home.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Um
- I'll leave.
- No, you stay!
[sighs deeply]
Damn it, Char!
- Why are you in my house?
- I was trying to surprise you.
How was I meant to know
you were having sex tonight?
[Kurt] Meant to know?
Do you understand
that this is not your place?
[Kurt] What the hell, Charlie?
You didn't even text or call to see
if it was okay to come over.
[exhales]
[stammers]
But why?
It was never an issue before.
Yeah, before, Char.
Why's it all changed?
[Charlie] Why?
How come it's all different?
[somber music]
Why are you here?
I'm here
because I miss you.
[Charlie] Okay?
You used to be my best friend.
You used to update me every day.
I used to know what was going on with you.
But now
what's happened to us lately?
What are you and Jane?
[somber music]
[exhales heavily]
[somber music]
[chuckles]
So
[chuckles]
What do you think?
Am I crazy?
I know we've only known each other
five months, but
Char, I'm certain.
[Kurt] I'm so certain
of what I feel for Jane.
I wanna be with her always.
[gasps]
I'm pregnant!
[somber music]
Wait.
Wait, what?
- I'm pregnant.
- [Kurt] Uh, you're pregnant?
- Pregnant? How did this happen, Char?
- [whimpering]
When? Who? Who was it?
Uh, JK his name is.
Who's JK?
I wanted to introduce you,
I couldn't, because, um
lately, I can't get a hold of you.
- Oh, fuck.
- It was
- like a one-night stand, so I
- One night?
Well, no, not a one-night stand. It was
um, four-night stands, but
but with feelings.
And there was one time, I didn't
well, we didn't use a, you know
and well, I kind of got pregnant.
[Charlie] I don't know what to do.
- [sobbing]
- God, Char. My God.
- How could you be so irresponsible?
- I know! I know!
- But it's happened now and I'm scared.
- Yes, yes. Okay, wait.
- Uh, how far along are you?
- I I don't know.
And have you told JK yet?
- No, no, no.
- Why didn't you tell him?
- Wait. Just wait, wait.
- Or is it that he doesn't want to take
- responsibility?
- I'm so confused!
- Damn this asshole!
- Please, I'm so confused.
I don't know anymore.
Can we just take it easy?
[sobbing]
Okay.
- [Kurt shushing]
- Shit.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
[Kurt sighs]
- Okay, relax.
- Okay.
What what do you want to do?
- [Charlie] Uh
- Hm?
[sobs]
I don't know. Maybe, tell him?
- Ugly?
- Okay. Okay.
We'll go and talk.
- Okay.
- So where is he?
Um Ilocos.
Yeah, that's it.
- Of course, Ilocos. Ilocos.
- Mm-hm.
He's in Ilocos.
Uh, North or South?
I think
it was the North.
He went home to the North.
- Okay.
- [Charlie groans]
Ugly, you come with me, okay?
[dramatic music]
- Please.
- Of course. Of course.
[Charlie] Right now,
- you might be thinking
- I don't want to go alone.
Well, it's your own fault, Charlie.
[Charlie sobbing]
I know.
And I paid the price for it.
I told you I'm not perfect,
but who is?
I wanted him to realize that
I'm his lifetime partner.
- I hoped he would see that I'm the one
- [Kurt] Let's stay here.
he should spend the rest
of his life with.
[receptionist] Sir and Madam,
we have an available room,
but it only has one bed.
[Charlie] I loved him.
I always did.
[door opens]
Is it okay if I sleep here?
[Charlie] Of course.
[chuckles]
Is it okay with Jane?
[chuckles]
Maybe.
How long did you tell her?
[Kurt exhales]
A week.
I guess that's fine with her.
Maybe, that'll be long enough
for us to track down JK.
Is it okay with you?
Don't worry about that.
It's probably not great, uh,
for you and the baby.
Besides, I'm your Ugly, right?
[grunts]
[sighs]
Ugly.
[Charlie] Kurt.
[exhales, clears throat]
Hm?
Please will you tell me
what what happened?
With Jane, you mean?
[Charlie] Mm-hm.
I want to hear everything,
because I feel like I missed it. You know?
All of a sudden, you and her.
[Kurt] I'm so sorry,
I was distracted and I didn't tell you.
So here it is.
Video calls. Then we had a second date.
[chuckles]
A Third.
Fourth.
[Charlie] Wow.
That's how it happened.
[Kurt] Yeah.
I fell in love with Jane.
[somber music]
In love?
How did you know it was love?
How can you be sure?
[Kurt] I just am.
But how?
Well, she's
my unexpected journey and
thanks to you I'm in love.
You're welcome.
I feel like
I'm a
brand new person when I'm with her.
The person I wanted to be.
I feel
a lot better with her.
Jane has a magic that
makes me want to be more.
Do more, not just for myself,
but for her as well.
For our future.
[Kurt] That's what I love about her.
She makes me feel
alive.
Good night, Char.
[exhales]
[Charlie] Good night.
[upbeat music]
[man] Yeah, ask her.
I think it'd be a really good idea.
- Hey!
- [man] Don't you think?
- Good morning, Char. You ready?
- I am.
Oh, hey. Newfound friends, Elton and Olga.
- [Elton] Hey, nice to meet you.
- Hello.
My best friend, Charlie.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, sorry, we got to go.
Yeah.
Hope to see you in the morning.
What's going on?
They've, uh, invited us glamping
- for one night.
- Yeah.
Thanks, but we've got stuff
we gotta do, yeah?
We could go glamping
and take a different route.
And we can ask some locals
and we might be able to find him.
- Hm, that'd be great.
- [Elton] Great.
So see you 7:00 a.m., breakfast,
cappuccino, and then we'll leave.
[chuckles]
Great, great.
- All right, see you.
- See you.
- Have a good day.
- [Olga] Bye.
- [Charlie] How did we end up glamping?
- [Kurt] I don't know.
[dramatic music]
So you don't have his phone number?
Or contacts or social media?
[Charlie] Mm-mm.
[Kurt] No pictures?
[Charlie] Mm, they're on my old phone.
Okay, you had sex four times
with slight feelings.
And so what else do you know about him?
Uh, I'm trying to remember.
He's a photographer.
[Charlie] And
he said he wanted to go back home
since Manila had become so toxic.
Okay, can you describe him?
How would I describe him
[Charlie] Uh, about 5'9 ", 5'10".
- Tanned.
- [Kurt] His nose?
- [Charlie] He has big eyes.
- [Kurt] Nose?
[Charlie] Um, uh, a little sharp.
- [Kurt] Okay, what else?
- [Charlie] Tattoos. Uh, Koi fish.
Uh, writing, a dragon.
Uh, yeah.
[dramatic music]
What?
[Jane] Are you headed back soon?
- [Kurt] Yeah, just a few more days.
- All right, I miss you.
[chuckles]
I miss you too.
Take care driving, okay?
You don't know those roads.
All right. Take care.
I will. You too.
Bye, bye.
Bye. I love you.
I love you too.
How's Jane?
She just wants to know our progress.
[Charlie] She wants you to come home?
[Kurt] No, she's okay.
Kurt, you know, uh
[Charlie exhales heavily]
I'm sorry.
Hm?
What for?
Everything.
I can't believe that I dragged you
into this.
I am really sorry.
I'm such an idiot.
[laughs]
Why?
Relax.
I wanted to come here and help you, okay?
Whoosh.
You're just trying to make up
'cause you've been a
- [laughs]
- an absent best friend
for such a long time.
Okay. You're right.
But also
I wanna be here for you.
I missed you, Ugly.
[dramatic music]
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
Oh, hey, look at that.
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy and I hurry
[Charlie laughing]
[Kurt] Oh, cool, they're here.
- [tour guide] Good morning!
- [Elton] Okay, guys, let's go!
[Charlie] These windmills
look really powerful up close.
You know, miss,
these windmills have powers too.
If you want to say something to someone,
but can't say it directly,
because maybe that person is away
or you're too embarrassed to say it,
just whisper it to the windmills, miss.
And I'm sure,
your message will reach that person.
[Elton] Wow, that's so cool.
So you're saying,
I can send a message from here?
[tour guide] Yes, that's right, sir.
Wow.
And it is said that sometimes,
the windmills will pass up
secret thoughts and feelings.
[dramatic music]
I guess now is the best time to confess.
[Olga] Oh, hey!
[Elton] I love you, Rose! I'm going
to propose the next time I see you!
[Olga] You're supposed to just whisper it!
Oh, jeez.
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
[Charlie]
I want him to realize that it's me.
I am his lifetime partner.
I hope that he sees it should be me.
That I'm the one he should spend
the rest of his life with.
I loved him.
I always have.
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still I hope there's a chance
[distant chatter]
- Do you love him?
- [Charlie] Hm?
Uh um K-Kurt?
[chuckles]
[Charlie] Olga.
Kurt's my best friend.
But do you love him?
Let's put it this way.
After this whole trip,
we might not see each other again.
[Olga] So you can tell me anything.
And I'm getting
this different kind of vibe from you.
Like you're full of apprehension.
[Olga] And I think it's best
if you just let it all out.
And I promise,
your secret will be safe with me.
Hm.
[Elton chuckles]
It's a shame they're missing this.
[both laugh]
[sighs]
[somber music]
How'd you know?
The windmill whispered to me.
[Olga chuckles]
May I?
[Charlie] Hand?
Oh, dear.
Charlie.
This lie that you've been
keeping from Kurt
[somber music]
Get in.
Char.
Put your head back inside.
You might get hit by something.
I don't want to go back without you.
[Charlie snorts]
Aren't you frightened?
[Kurt] That's a really steep fall.
- One wrong step
- And you'll die.
It feels like I've already got
one foot in the grave.
I've heard in a life and death situation,
that, um
your mind flashes through all
the important events of your life.
What'll I see, I wonder.
I'll see the day we met.
- Don't react, just pretend you like me.
- What? Why?
- [Charlie grunts]
- [Kurt shrieks]
[laughs]
That's my favorite memory.
I'm sure it's what I'll see
in my last moments.
One of my most important memories.
The day we met.
[dramatic music]
And you?
Same.
I suspect that you'll be
in whatever flashback I have.
[Kurt chuckles]
I expect nothing less.
I can't imagine my life without you in it.
You are my constant.
[dramatic music]
[Kurt sighs]
[waves crashing]
Sorry, you can't get a signal.
And that you can't contact Jane.
[groans]
I'm sorry too, Ugly.
We couldn't locate JK.
[both chuckle]
[Charlie sighs]
I like it here.
Right here, right now.
It's a bit like being stuck in time.
[Charlie]
Like the world has stopped turning.
You won't be alone anymore.
You're having a child.
Yeah.
Are you still scared?
Of what?
Of a brand new chapter in your life.
I'm scared of everything.
Scared as hell.
[sniffles]
You know, in case, uh
we can't find JK
Or if we do find him
and he won't take responsibility,
I promise you,
I won't let you be alone, Ugly.
I'll never ever leave you,
like I promised your dad.
I'll always be here.
[gentle music]
- [Charlie] Hi, Ugly.
- [Kurt] Hi, Ugly.
- You look less stressed.
- [Charlie] Hm.
What are you looking at up there?
You see that?
[Kurt] The three stars in a line
I call them, The Three Marias.
Huh?
Uh, I don't see them.
Look, one, two
[romantic music]
[music rises]
[romantic music]
[somber music]
Ugly
[sighs]
[Charlie]
There's something you need to know.
Kurt I, uh
[dramatic music]
Kurt.
[music rises]
[waves crashing]
[Charlie sighs]
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Char.
Char.
[Kurt] Char!
Are you okay?
Is the baby okay?
I saw the blood.
I'm sorry.
[Charlie sobs]
I'm so sorry.
I'm not pregnant.
I know it was a terrible thing
to do to you.
[sobs]
Please understand that I was
I was desperate, Kurt.
Ugly, I couldn't stand seeing you
with somebody else.
[Charlie] And I realized that
I want to be the only one
who makes you smile.
I wanna be the one you joke with.
The only one that you truly, truly need.
All these years
I was looking for my lifetime partner
[somber music]
I wish I realized sooner, that I
That you're it.
[Charlie] I realize that now.
Kurt.
That's why I I don't want you to be with
Uh, look, I'm sorry.
I I know it was selfish. I know it was.
I don't even know why I
I was crazy with worry
that I'd lose you forever.
And then you said,
you were getting married to Jane and I
I just wanted us to spend
some time together.
Ugly, please. Please, listen to me.
[Charlie sobs]
I love you.
I always did.

Ugly, could you open the Hi!
[man] Yes?
Uh, is is Kurt here?
[man] Kurt?
No, there's no Kurt living here.
Just me.
Oh.
Oh, sorry to bother you.
Thanks, anyway.
- See you.

He probably thought that
I mean, it was like you said.
You just got really confused
He's gonna be okay.

[line ringing]

[Charlie] Kurt.
I know you're there.
I was hoping we could talk.
[sobs]
I know I'm the one who caused this mess.
But I'll do anything. Anything.
Whatever you want.
Just just please forgive me.
[sobbing]
I'll understand if you don't want
to talk to me anymore.
I really will
I just need you to tell me is all.
I just need to know.
[Charlie sobbing over phone]
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry for what I did to you.
Goodbye, Charlie.
[sobs]
[somber music]
[water flowing]
[Shelby] You need a new hobby.
How about trying pottery
or watching K-dramas?
You know you can't be like that forever.
Right?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[music rises]
[somber music]
[Charlie] And now, here I am.
Looking back at regret.
My own nightmare is catching up with me.
I thought I'd moved on already.
But when I saw him tonight, I knew
this is so far
from being a closed chapter.
Fuck!
Is there anybody out there?
[Kurt clears throat]
- Kurt.
- I think I need a lifeline
["Titanic" by HARLOW playing]
I've been drifting
Through the darkness
Looking for the sunrise
Sometimes it feels like
We're so far away
Trying to keep our heads
Above the waves
I'm getting married, Char.
Um, oh, getting married?
I, uh, thought you had already.
But, uh congrats.
Congrats to you and Jane.
Not Jane.
Huh?
Uh
[chuckles]
Who then?
It's Bianca.
Do you remember Ambo?
He was
uh, manager of the bar.
She's his best friend, an architect.
She found me when I was a mess.
How come you're here?
Because Kurt
I'm okay now.
I'm in a good place.
Your visit is unfair.
I worked hard to be in a good place.
And, um
it wasn't easy.
And I'm back in that shitty place now.
[exhales heavily]
My life, again in turmoil.
[thumping]
[exhales]
I mean, what's it been? Three years?
[somber music]
Three years of trying to move on from
Look, Char. I'm sorry.
I just felt like I needed to see you.
I'm about to get married and
I felt like I wanted
to tell my best friend.
- [Kurt] This is awkward.
- [chuckles]
[somber music]
[breathes heavily]
[Charlie sobs]
I'm not crying because of you.
I'm crying because I'm starving.
[both laugh]
Are you still working in post-production?
Mm-hm. Mm.
I am. Uh, but in another office.
It's still in that area,
just a different place.
And you, um You at the bar?
[Kurt] I shut it down.
After a year, I wasn't getting a return,
so I let it go.
We're in franchising now.
- Mm. Ha! Isn't that good as well?
- Yeah, so far.
- It's me and Bianc's. Hm.
- Mm.
[Charlie laughing]
- Shit, I really said that?
- Mm-hm.
- [Charlie whining]
- And you even said to the teacher,
- "Hey, Jenny, don't they come in threes?"
- [laughs]
Oh my God, I'm an embarrassing drunk!
[shrieks softly]
Ah well, you invent a lot of stories.
Invent stories?
Um, what story did I invent?
[soft music]
[laughs]
Well
The one where we had sex.
I didn't invent that.
Sorry, but it wasn't true.
- [Charlie moaning]
- [Kurt laughing]
Ugly.
[Charlie moaning]
Oh, shit. What are you doing, dumbass?
I'll get you some clothes.
[Charlie panting]
[laughs]
No way?
Mm
Shit.
[laughs]
Okay.
Thanks to that, I now need a beer.
[laughs]
All right.
But, uh, no sex, okay?
[Charlie laughs]
Fuck you.
So, um
Bianca.
Yes. Bianca.
What is she like?
Oh, you're interested?
Of course, I'm interested, Kurt.
You're getting married.
- That doesn't happen every day.
- [Kurt laughs]
Well, um
she's two years older than us.
Focused.
Driven.
She has a very dry, dark sense of humor.
Sometimes it seems offensive,
but uh, she doesn't mean it.
Like, how?
Okay, so we went
to her grandmother's funeral.
And you know that visitors' book?
And in it, people write, uh, messages?
Mm, yeah, with the name and details
of the deceased.
Yeah, yeah.
So we were in line with her aunt,
and her aunt
was just about to sign her name.
And Bianca says, "You know it's a raffle
and if you win, you'll be the next to go."
[laughter]
- That's great.
- Yeah. You two will get along really well.
[sighs]
You told her about me?
Mm.
Everything.
[Charlie] What did she say?
[somber music]
You really wanna know?
That you're really stupid
for letting me go.
[somber music]
[sobs]
So stupid.
[sobbing continues]
[both sobbing]
[somber music]
[sobbing continues]
[sobbing]
[gentle music]
Hold me like the day
When you first held my hand
Embrace me like the day
When I felt that no one understands
Today might be a special day
But that's because of all
The memories we made
This next chapter
Of our lives together
Sometimes will be hard to write
But as long as I have my forever
We'll always make the words
Seem to rhyme
So we don't have to rush, dear
Because we have a lifetime
Find me
Like how you found me in the rain
Slowly
Wipe the tears falling down my face
- This next chapter
- [mouths] Thank you.
- I love you.
- Of our lives together
Sometimes will be hard to write
But as long as I have my forever
We'll always make the words
Seem to rhyme
So we don't have to rush, dear
Because we have a lifetime
Lifetime
[Charlie] Mistakes and regret are painful,
but it's never too late
to begin a new chapter.
Waking up in the morning
With my eyes still closed
First thing I see is your message
It makes me so happy and I hurry
I'm so excited to see you
And my heart beats faster
And then I see you waiting
Outside my door
Once we see each other
The entire world stops
I can't stop my heart
From beating fast
But I really can't tell you
Because we are
Just friends
["Panaginip" by Lovi Poe continues]
And our friendship
Might disappear if I confess
I'm afraid of being alone
But still
I hope there's a chance
Will we end up together?
