When I Met You in Tokyo (2023) Movie Script
1
My mother used to always say
that every person is
born with a life partner.
Or our so-called "soulmate."
A person who shares half of our souls,
the one who is meant
to be with us for life.
But it seems
the one destined for me
has been terribly delayed.
Will you marry me?
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
Or maybe I'm really waiting for nothing.
Ouch!
Rude. He didn't even say sorry.
I don't know why,
but I've started to find love corny.
Love is so overrated.
It's a huge lie.
One big joke.
Being in a relationship...
is like kendo, fencing,
or any form of martial arts.
It is a battle.
At first, it's exhilarating,
just two fools excited
by the act of courtship.
But once you're familiar with each other,
that's when the true dynamics
of the relationship begins.
If one cuts the other,
the other one cuts back.
- You'll end up hurting each other.
- Point!
In the end, only one will be victorious,
while the other ends up a big loser.
And most often...
that's me.
Thank you.
Today is your birthday!
We have a surprise for you.
- What?
- Surprise.
- We have a surprise. Come on.
- What?
WHEN I MET YOU IN TOKYO
- Good morning!
- Good morning!
- Good morning!
- Azon!
Good morning, Azon!
Good morning! Why didn't
you come to work with us?
Maybe you met with a guy,
or secret boyfriend.
Hey, if I met a guy,
I wouldn't be here at work.
I'd be out enjoying myself.
Yeah, right.
- What fun.
- Hold on. I'm getting a call.
Wait a sec.
It's my niece. Hold on.
- Okay.
- Let's go!
We'll see you later.
Hello!
Hi, my baby! How are you?
We're fine, Auntie Beauty.
Hi, Auntie Beauty! How are you?
Hello, Drew!
Auntie, I have good news for you!
What?
All my grades are very high,
which means I can apply
for scholarship next semester.
Thank you, Lord!
All right, I'll send you 10,000 yen,
so you can go shopping.
Auntie, you don't have to. I'm fine.
Auntie, I'm more than willing
to receive that money!
Drew,
I'll give you the money
if you can give me high grades.
Hannah...
is your dad there?
Can I talk to him?
Auntie, sorry, Dad isn't here.
What is it? I can take a message for him.
I sent him 80,000 pesos yesterday,
so he and the architect
can buy the materials they need.
I hope they got everything already.
Okay, Hannah?
Hannah?
Yes, they did.
Tell him to send me pictures, okay?
So that I can see the progress.
I really hope that gets done,
because I'm already tired.
I'm getting old. I want to retire.
Hello, my baby?
Hello?
Hannah? Why aren't you saying anything?
Is there a problem?
Auntie, I'm sorry,
I was just thinking of something.
Oh, right, Auntie, happy birthday!
Auntie, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Auntie Beauty!
Thank you!
I thought you wouldn't
remember my birthday.
Thank you!
- Azon.
- Oh, all right.
Hannah, I'll call again, okay?
- Okay, bye. I love you!
- So...
- Bye, Auntie!
- Bye, Auntie!
- Good morning!
- Morning.
Azon. Please clean room 405, okay?
Yes. Please excuse me.
Be quick.
I always lose to you!
You just need more practice.
- Welcome back!
- Hey!
- How are you?
- I'm tired.
- You're tired?
- I lost again.
Geez.
It's his fault!
Get our gifts.
Okay.
I'm spent!
Tada!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Because you're such a shy guy,
this is the perfect gift for you.
Especially for the cold weather.
No, no, no!
We're just joking. Sorry!
We have a real gift for you.
Seriously?
Hold on.
Hey you!
Joey!
Whoa!
- What's this?
- Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
I really like it very much!
Happy birthday, Dad!
Enjoy your special day, Grandpa!
Charlene, Jom, thank you!
So...
How are you over there?
We're good.
We're okay, but we miss you.
Dad...
there's someone else here
who wants to greet you.
Who?
Hi, Jo, happy birthday!
Jo!
Jo!
Are you still mad?
That was a long time ago, Jo.
Even now, you still don't
want to speak to me?
Or forgive me?
Jo!
Mom, let's give him space.
The time will come
when he'll be able to forgive you.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
- Don't be loud.
Why are you here?
We'll be in trouble
if the supervisor sees us together.
He's eating downstairs.
- You saw him?
- Relax.
Azon, let's go clubbing tonight.
It's your birthday.
You might even meet a guy there.
You know I've given up on that,
and you're always such a heavy spender.
I'm trying to be practical.
You know I'm having a house built,
and an apartment as well.
- Oh, right, I want to show you something.
- What is that?
Here, the latest update
sent by my brother.
- It's so nice!
- Looks good!
I'm jealous.
You spend too much. Try saving up more.
There, see?
It's so fulfilling to see
where all your money is going.
- Can you move a bit?
- That's true.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- You're welcome.
- You know, let's go out later tonight.
We can split the bill.
Let's celebrate your birthday.
I don't want to. Nope.
We're all chipping in.
- Quiet down!
- Don't force me to carry you.
You used to like drinking.
Because you drink too much now.
We're already so noisy.
- Just come with us.
- Let's carry her.
- Come on.
- Stop it.
I'm not interested, you know that.
- Hey, stop it.
- Come on.
- Hold on.
- Let's go!
Okay.
- On one condition...
- What?
We should go home by 11:00 p.m.
Cheers!
Let her!
Hey, who's that girl
going crazy on the dance floor?
Let them enjoy!
Cheers!
Sis, it's 11:30, let's go home.
Don't be a killjoy,
it's our day off tomorrow.
Okay, let's dance! Dance!
Fine, I'll dance.
Look!
They must be crazy.
Yeah! They're all drunk.
They should go home.
Exactly!
Go home!
My countrymen.
My countrymen.
Hey! Are you Filipino?
- Dance with us.
- Yeah...
- Let's dance!
- Wait.
Can you please, please,
not make fools of yourselves here?
Please?
You're too rowdy! Especially you!
- What?
- That's right, especially you!
It's embarrassing to them.
Who's this meddlesome male witch?
- What is it to you? Who are you?
- "Male witch"?
I'm just concerned for the reputation
of Filipinos, female witch.
Don't go crazy in here.
There must be something wrong with you.
- You must be out of your mind.
- No, that's you.
Yeah. Hey, take this one home,
she's drunk.
- Come here, we can dance!
- Come here, let's dance!
- Take that home, she's drunk.
- Azon!
- Come here! Let's dance!
- Azon!
- That's enough, let's just go home.
- You lunatic!
- Hey, you!
- Azon, stop that.
Ouch!
Those three came straight from hell,
not the Philippines.
- Ouch!
- He's too full of himself!
- Put this on and let's go.
- Who does he think he is?
- Hey, you!
- Put this on!
- We're going to a different bar!
- Yeah, we'll go to another bar. Let's go.
- We'll go to another bar. Put this on.
- No!
- You're going to fall.
- No, he's so rude. Rude!
- We'll go to another bar.
- Let's go.
Azon, not there, not there.
Let's go outside.
- We need to buy water.
- He's so rude.
Wait a sec. Hey, you!
What are you looking at?
- So what are you looking at?
- What?
Whoa!
- Let's go outside.
- Let's get you water.
- Come on!
- Hurry!
PUB BONSAI
Joey?
Don't you remember me?
You ghosted me
after something happened between us.
- Wait.
- So...
What happened?
You completely vanished.
Miss, maybe you've got the wrong person.
- I don't know you.
- Come on, don't deny it.
At least be honest!
Don't string people along!
Shameless!
Wow!
- You think high of yourself, male witch.
- What the...
You also have a stench to hide.
Hold on, what do you know
about me, female witch, huh?
You're just an eavesdropper.
Do you even know me?
Why? Do you know me?,
You? You're the woman
who was going crazy inside earlier.
You enjoyed every moment of it, huh?
You got slapped.
Now, here's my fist.
You want to fight back?
- Want to hit back?
- Azon!
- Hey, Azon!
- Let's go, Azon!
Stop that!
What? Did you think I wouldn't fight you?
Let's go! Stop it!
- Here, cross this line!
- Stop it!
- Let's go home.
- Azon!
- You want to go home at 11:00?
- Stop it.
- Stop it!
- No, let's drink!
Hey! I'm going to wreck your life,
remember that!
- Let's go, Azon!
- No, let's keep drinking.
- Let's go home.
- Hey, we're not done yet!
What bad luck.
Ouch!
It's big!
You're so disgusting!
Yummy!
I told you it's like German sausage.
Right?
You're a pervert!
German sausage that's hot.
- How does it taste?
- Yummy!
- Yummy!
- Hey!
It's too early for your racket.
What are you laughing about?
It's her fault.
She's been talking nonsense.
Why is it my fault again?
My head hurts.
- Hey, go on. Tell her already.
- Fine.
Here's my share of the rent.
That includes what
I owe you from last month.
Thank you!
Where's your rent?
Give me a break, I'm still drinking.
Don't worry.
Hey, are you even paying your OWWA fees?
Oh, shoot.
- Oh, no.
- That's every two years.
Oh, no...
What's with that reaction?
I forgot.
Only $25 every two years,
and you still forgot?
You know, if you die without
making your contributions,
you will only get 20,000 pesos.
Really? Death already?
But if you're updated, when you die...
Death again?
You'll get 220,000 pesos,
and your children will receive benefits
like a scholarship to finish studies.
You want me to avail this right away?
Like right now?
I'm serious, I'm not joking.
It's up to you.
You know there are more benefits.
Yeah, I know.
Why are we even talking
about OWWA right now?
I thought your head hurt.
I thought so too.
My head hurts because the two of you
wanted to go clubbing.
You know I don't like that.
Don't like?
What time did we get home?
Past 1:00 a.m.
You know what?
If you didn't get into a fight last night,
we would've probably
stayed out until morning.
Yeah.
- I got into a fight?
- Yeah!
Don't you remember?
You punched someone.
What?
Joey, you're too slow. Hurry up.
Yeah.
- You're the one who's slow.
- I'm not slow. That's you, Joey.
Stop it.
Can you believe that I got into a fight
and don't remember a thing?
I promise, my baby,
I'm never drinking again.
That's okay, Auntie,
just enjoy yourself there.
You never know,
you might meet your forever.
I'm past all that.
I don't believe in that anymore.
What's important to me
is you, your father,
your Aunt Gina, and your cousins...
You guys are my true forever!
Thank you, Auntie Beauty!
We love you very much!
Love you, Auntie!
Dad?
What...
Where's the...
Dad, where's the van?
- Is this my sister?
- Yes...
Hello, my beautiful sister.
The architect and I found someone
to do the roof of your house.
Don't worry, they do quality work.
Your roof will definitely
last a long time.
I'll send you pictures.
Also, can you send more money over?
We've got a lot of expenses.
Don't worry, I'll stop by the bank
and deposit to your account.
Okay, sister. Thank you.
- Bye!
- Hold on.
Wait, Marlon? Marlon?
Dad, where's the van?
You know, it's obvious.
You lost in the casino again, did you?
Did you pawn it off again?
I'll get it back. Leave it to me.
How?
Well, of course, uncle will just gamble
the money Auntie will be sending.
The one for the "roof."
Can you stay out of my business?
I'm in a bad mood.
Dad, don't you feel guilty?
She's the one making a living for us.
She had this house built for us,
bought everything for us,
paying for me and Drew's tuition.
- That's true.
- But you treat her like this?
Don't preach to me like that.
Don't meddle.
Weren't you leaving? Go now!
Welcome!
Thank you.
Thank you.
These please.
Wait a moment.
Hey! You're a Filipino!
You are, aren't you?
How nice.
I'll get more. Give me a discount, okay?
Wait.
Good thing there's a Filipino here.
I work at Crown Plaza.
I work there.
Here, add this.
There.
Okay.
Will that be all...
witch?
What?
Witch?
Who are you calling witch?
You really don't know who I am?
Huh?
And what you did to me last night?
Last night?
Oh?
Yes, last night!
See?
For a small woman,
you sure pack a punch.
Hold on.
We're not done yet.
I'll get back to you.
Hannah, hurry, I still
have a male witch to deal with.
What?
Auntie, I'm so sorry,
but my conscience can't take
what my father has been doing to you.
What are you saying?
Dad is lying to you.
There's no apartment or rest house.
Auntie, he's been gambling away the money
you've been sending over.
Okay, Hannah.
I'll call your father.
Are you still going to shop...
or are you just going to talk
on the phone?
A moment, male witch,
I'm just going to deal with this.
Hello, my beautiful sister. What's up?
Marlon...
is it true that you're not really
having my house and apartment built?
That you've been gambling away
all the money I've sent?
Who's the liar
who fed you those rumors?
What's the architect's number?
Let's go on a conference call
so that we'll know
who's been telling the truth.
Whoever's the gossip that told you that,
they just want to ruin my name.
Give me the number of architect
and I'll ask them directly!
What?
Why won't you say anything?
Is it because
everything they told me is true?
Making a fool out of your own sister.
You're absolutely shameless, Marlon.
How dare you?
I've made all possible sacrifices
to give you a good life.
Why did you do this to me?
How could you do this to me, Marlon?
Family can be like that sometimes.
Even though you keep
making sacrifices for them,
they can still betray and disgrace you.
Our personal lives are
none of your business.
Whatever I did to you last night,
I'm sorry!
Seriously?
What's wrong?
Do you know her?
She's pretty.
She may be pretty,
but she has a rotten personality.
She's that bad?
Did she pay?
- Did she pay?
- It's fine.
But...
She didn't pay!
Hannah!
Hannah. It's Uncle Marlon!
Which one of you told your auntie?
I know one of you did it.
- Was it you? Or you?
- Dad!
You both told your Auntie?
What?
No.
What?
I didn't want to do it, but...
I felt bad for Auntie.
- Uncle!
- You, too!
You know what you are?
A traitor!
Wait.
Let's go to your shop.
Joey, let's go on Sunday. Is that okay?
Yes, thank you.
Okay.
Please excuse me.
Witch! I can't leave.
Why?
In case you're forgetting,
you didn't pay for my vegetables.
How much was it?
Don't worry about it. My treat.
You smiled.
You know what?
You look pretty when you smile.
Thank you!
I'm joking.
You're a real male witch.
Hey.
Witch... Ouch!
Karma!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Are you sure you're good?
You're okay? You good?
Of course.
- You're okay?
- Yes.
Don't forget,
if something happens to you,
it's just karma.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
What's this?
Flowers for you. Can't believe it, huh?
Those are yours.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers.
You're blooming.
Your charm reaches all the way
from Tokyo to Zimbabwe.
Who are these from?
Why don't you just go down and find out?
Just tell me who these are from.
If this is a prank,
you two will be sleeping outside tonight.
Better hurry down so you can know
for yourself. You talk too much!
- Go ahead!
- I'll go with you.
- I have things to do.
- Come!
- Our supervisor...
- Don't worry about him!
Slowly, so you look fresh.
Don't worry about the supervisor.
- He has a crush on me.
- Slowly!
Let's be careful. If the supervisor
finds out, I'm blaming you.
I'll just show him some skin
and he'll forget all about it.
Go to him. Hurry!
You know what to do.
Bring home the bacon.
What are you talking about?
Why do you look like
you've seen a ghost, witch?
Wait...
Those are ajisai...
Hydrangeas in English.
Why did you give me flowers?
Wait a sec.
Do you like me?
Your wife might get mad at me
and come here.
Okay.
First off,
I don't have a wife.
We're annulled.
Second, for your information, Miss Blue,
those flowers are commonly given by
the Japanese when they want to apologize.
That's why I'm here to say sorry
for all the things I said to you
at the club and
for all the jokes I made yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I'm asking for your forgiveness.
Truthfully, I don't remember
a thing from that night.
Let's just forget about it.
I'm Joey, by the way.
Azon.
I'm going now because...
my supervisor might start looking for me.
Okay. Thank you!
She has a love life!
So, he's the reason she's blooming!
Hey, stop that. He was just apologizing.
- Oh?
- Really now?
Azon, don't try denying it.
At this day and in our age!
Are you going to be choosy?
My God.
He's handsome with a good body.
You don't like him?
I'll take him. He can be mine.
Stop it, you two.
Stop it, I'm getting chills.
I don't like those kinds of jokes,
so stop it.
You're smelling them.
Hey! I'm not!
You look happy!
Who's smiling?
Hey!
Liar!
Lucky you!
Wow!
It's our 40th wedding anniversary,
so I need to go home.
- Forty years?
- Yeah!
Your wife sure is a tough one, no?
She managed to endure you for 40 years.
You're terrible.
From then until now,
you still like to bully your friends.
Hey, congratulations on your anniversary.
Thank you!
But I'm even more grateful
because you're going to cover for me.
Just two days, my friend.
I'll just be gone for four days,
then I'll be back.
It's no problem.
- Wow.
- Leave it to me.
That's what I like about you, Joey.
You're a really loving friend.
Wait!
By the way, I spoke to Akira.
Is it true that you've become
addicted to bonsai trees?
Yeah, and I make money from it.
It's good money.
Is that so?
You're what I call someone
who's okay, but not okay.
Joey...
that's not you, you're not the type
to care for bonsai trees.
Okay.
Let's stop with the jokes for a minute.
Let's talk freely.
You know, my friend,
as long as you keep everything bottled up,
your anger, your resentment,
you'll continue being miserable.
You can see it all on your face.
It's like you're sabotaging yourself.
You're not allowing your life to have joy,
laughter, and a happy future.
Let's not talk about things
that don't need to be talked about.
What I mean is,
where is the Joey I've been friends with
for more than 40 years?
The one who's cheerful, happy,
helpful, and sweet to everyone.
There, see?
I'm trying to talk to you
and you're walking away.
Is that right?
And the way you up and left
to be all alone in some faraway place.
I'm neighbors with Akira.
It's not that.
What if, God forbid,
something bad happens to you,
who's going to help you?
This is a serious matter, Joey.
Living with someone is different
from having someone in your life.
Right?
Father confessor...
can you please stop the sermon?
Please, father.
There, there's the Joey I'm looking for.
I miss that Joey.
My goodness.
Joey, I miss you.
I'm your friend, Edwin.
I have one last thing to say, okay?
Then sit down, and listen up. Okay?
Listen to your friend
- who cares about you.
- Fine.
Take this advice
from a friend who loves you.
Seriously.
Joey...
You have a right to be happy.
Let yourself love again.
And let yourself meet someone
who will truly love you.
Okay?
Okay.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- You're my dearest friend, okay?
- Yeah.
FORGIVE - Just as the Lord forgave you,
so also should you FORGIVE.
Colossians 3:13
Goodbye. Okay, you take care.
- Yes, Mom. I love you.
- Take care of yourself.
Wait. I'll answer this first.
Okay.
Your dad.
- What?
- Yeah!
- Ma!
- What will I do?
- Answer it!
- What?
Please just answer him.
Mom.
Hello, Joey. Hi!
What? Is this a prank call?
No.
Joey, why?
Is there a problem?
Is there something wrong with you?
Susan, I called because...
Joey?
All the things that happened between us...
let's forget about it.
I forgive you.
I apologize as well.
I'm sorry for all the things I've done.
Thank you!
Joey, I've been waiting
for this for so long.
Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you.
Susan...
Always take care of yourself, okay?
Charlene...
Mom...
My son's asking for another laptop.
Again?
I just bought him one last month,
which he broke again already.
Then just buy a new one.
But it's so expensive, Azon.
How can I buy him another?
You'll still buy it, though.
- Plus, the kid needs it.
- That's true.
- I wish I knew how to use a laptop.
- Azon!
- Azon!
- That's him.
- Oh!
- It's him!
- It's Mr. Handsome!
- Hey...
Are you done with work?
Yeah... It is!
Why are you here?
I was just passing by, running an errand.
Wait.
Do you know where Live Spot is?
It's a bar near here.
I know that place. I know it!
I wanted to invite you tomorrow night,
because we have a gig there.
If you're free.
So you're a songer? He's a songer!
It's "singer"!
Both start with an S.
- So...
- We'll be there!
- We'll be there...
- Okay.
I need to do overtime tomorrow.
You have no more overtime.
We finished all of it, right? Right?
- Right?
- Yeah...
So?
Anyway, we'll be there!
Okay.
Thank you very much.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, bye!
All right!
Don't be coy! You're so prude.
Okay, let's go.
There I was, an empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life were all about
Then you came
You brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew
There I was, so in love with you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know
I'm onto something good
And I'm sure, my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares away
Where they can't bother me
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
You been singing there for a long time?
Yes, when I was younger.
But I'm retired now.
My friend asked me
to stand in for him for a while,
because he had something important
to do back in the Philippines.
Now that you live here,
what do you do for a living?
I saved some money.
Then I bought a piece of land
which I turned into a farm.
- Near Shiba.
- I see.
That's what I live off from.
I see.
Joey bought a piece of land in Shiba.
He's a very hardworking and fine guy.
Azon too.
Any man would be lucky to win her heart.
She's very kind, caring, and loving.
I see.
So? Anything else to add?
Bru, you're lucky to own a farm already.
Meanwhile I've been fooled
by my own brother.
Let's not talk about that,
it might ruin your night.
So, we'll go ahead.
We have something to do, right?
- We do?
- Yeah, we need to go.
- We do!
- Yeah, we do.
Let's leave together.
We'll be gone until morning.
- Let's go.
- You stay with them.
- Enjoy the night. Bye!
- Hey! Wait!
- Bye!
- Hey!
I'll go home, too.
What?
Akira!
I'll go to the bus station and wait there.
No, I'll take you home.
- Okay?
- But...
Let's just walk there, it's close anyway.
- It's cold.
- It's a bit chilly today.
I'm practically wearing a blanket.
Ouch.
- Ouch.
- Wait. What happened?
I'm okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Is it rheumatism?
- It's not!
- Let's rest here.
Let's sit first.
- Careful.
- Sometimes...
Sometimes this hurts,
whenever I've been standing...
- Okay.
- ...or walking for too long.
Because we could have taken the bus,
but someone suggested we walk.
And sometimes when it's cold.
But this is nothing. This is nothing.
Why are you looking at me like that?
- You're teasing me.
- No, I'm not.
Maybe the reason your wife left you
is because you're such a tease.
So I'm single only because I'm a tease?
That's not the reason.
Then what?
She met someone else...
while I was working here.
What?
That's too short. Keep going.
I had no idea.
I kept toiling away here
for her and my kid.
Turns out, she was
already with someone else.
Sorry.
Sorry.
It's my turn to ask.
So...
Did you and your husband separate because...
you hit him, too?
- What?
- Hey!
The truth is, I had a boyfriend.
We got along,
and were together for a while.
But when I received my application
to come to Japan,
I took it.
But at least, somehow,
I gave my family a comfortable life,
including my parents, before they died.
Because you were eavesdropping,
you also know what happened
with my brother, right?
So now, I'm starting again,
saving up for my retirement.
We're the same then.
I'm saving up for my retirement, too.
Why? How old are you?
Well, the night that you punched me,
it was my birthday!
I'm already 59 years old.
- It was your birthday?
- Yeah! And you punched me.
- It was your birthday?
- Yeah, why?
When's your birthday?
- The night that I punched you.
- Really?
- It was also your birthday?
- We have the same birthday.
That's why we're the same kind of crazy.
- We have the same birthday.
- We do! Right?
I even got punched.
I haven't laughed this much.
A happy laugh.
So now I'm the clown?
You know what?
Since you made me laugh like this,
can we meet again?
How did you become
a permanent resident here in Japan?
I was a caregiver for seven years.
You know what?
My Japanese boss was such a kind person.
He was my guarantor so that I could
get my permanent residency.
- Wow.
- You?
I got my permanent residency here
on my tenth year here.
- Akira helped me.
- I see.
It also helped
that I paid my taxes diligently.
That's correct.
Come on.
So beautiful.
They sound lovely.
They're great, aren't they?
Come here.
Let's dance.
Stop that.
- What are you doing?
- What?
Let's dance, Bru.
The music is so beautiful.
It's embarrassing. Stop it!
Let's dance.
You're on your own.
Hey. Stop it.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
Fine. I'm on my own.
Stop that. Stop. Stop that.
You look like a lunatic.
Stop that. Hey! You're crazy!
- What's wrong with you?
- What?
Let's dance, Azon.
I promise I won't get tired
of dancing with you, forever.
What are you saying?
Let's not prolong this.
I know...
I like you, Azon.
And I know that you like me, too.
Aren't you going too fast?
Haven't we just met?
Dance with me.
- I...
- Let's try...
to love again.
Don't you back out now.
Don't you embarrass me here, male witch.
Dance with me.
Dance with me.
Hi! Good morning, my babies! Good morning!
Hi, Auntie Beauty! How are you there?
Good morning, Auntie!
I have good news for you.
- Good news?
- Good news?
What is it, Auntie?
I've met my forever.
Oh, my God!
Your Auntie Beauty has a boyfriend.
Oh, my gosh! Congrats, Auntie!
- Congrats Auntie!
- I'm so happy for you.
I'm jealous now!
That's our Auntie!
He's only after her money.
Is that Marlon?
Let me talk to your father.
Dad, it's Auntie.
What, Marlon?
You're an expert, huh?
After all, you've been swindling me
for the longest time.
What?
So...
I'll talk to them.
- No, it's okay.
- I'll talk to them.
Just for a bit.
Marlon, it's Joey.
Hi, Uncle. I'm Hannah.
Hi, Uncle. I'm Drew.
Hannah! Drew!
I'm happy to meet you.
Your aunt always talks to me about you.
Marlon...
I love your sister very much.
I won't hurt her.
Man to man.
My intentions are pure.
Okay, thank you. Bye!
Joey, I have a special present
for you today.
This is for your wedding.
- What?
- It's a kimono.
- This is for Azon.
- Really?
And this one is for you, Joey.
Joey.
Akira...
I wish you and Azon happiness.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much, Akira!
Everyone, please stand.
Please give your warm greeting
to the newly married couple.
As they exchange their promises
and vows to love each other.
I will love you forever.
I will love you too, forever.
One more! One more! One more!
JUSMARRIED
Wow!
Thank you.
- Wow.
- Here.
- Lovely!
- This is...
This is our house.
My queen and lovely wife.
- I love you.
- Me too.
Hey! Why? What are you doing?
- What?
- We're not young anymore!
- Can your knees still take it?
- Of course!
Put me down already!
Put me down!
Put me down already!
You're pretty heavy.
Your things are already in the room.
Is this your house?
Yes. Our house.
Sorry for the mess. It's just me here.
You have a wife now. I'll take care of it.
Thank you very much.
Come here.
- Oh, no!
- What?
- Ouch!
- What?
- Ouch! Wait.
- What's going on?
- Ouch! My hips!
- What?
What happened to you?
My hips.
- Are you okay?
- I pinched a nerve.
- Are you okay?
- It's just a pinched nerve.
Are you okay?
Give me a moment, okay?
Can you really do this?
Yeah, I can.
I can do it.
- Joey!
- I can do it.
- Hey! Your hand!
- What?
- Joey...
- Wait.
- Come on, please.
- Joey...
- I can do it.
- You can?
Joey, your hand.
There it goes again.
- Why now? I can't believe this.
- Careful, Joey.
This timing. Unbelievable.
So annoying...
Are you okay?
- Hey.
- This timing...
Okay, let's just rest.
- No...
- You should rest.
Here.
- What?
- Yeah. Like this.
Joey!
What?
Can you...
Azon?
- Yeah? Why?
- Can you...
Azon...
Can you do it?
- You're terrible!
- Please!
- You perv!
- I can't move.
- You're a perv!
- Please.
Bru!
Yes?
That's enough. Let's have lunch.
- What?
- Let's go.
Let me just finish this.
Let's go! You won't be able
to taste my cooking.
Take a break.
What did you cook?
Tempura? Sushi?
I'm so tired of those.
Your favorite!
What favorite?
Sour fish stew with miso.
Sour fish stew with miso?
How did you know that's my favorite?
Your daughter told me.
- You're so sweaty.
- I can't believe my wife!
I love you.
Is it time for lunch?
- Is it time for lunch?
- Yes!
- Everyone, let's eat!
- Let's go!
- Let's go eat, we're hungry.
- Let's eat!
Yes?
Good afternoon!
Are you Miss Charlene?
Yes, that's me.
I'm Hannah, Azon's niece.
Yes! Come in.
Right here.
Let's get you inside.
Come in.
There.
Here.
Auntie and Uncle Joey sent a package.
Thank you very much!
Please sit!
My son, Jomar.
- Hi!
- Azon's niece.
Let me just get you a snack.
Oh, no, you don't have to.
It's okay.
It's okay. Just sit.
Actually, I've seen you before,
but you didn't notice me.
Really?
Yeah, at the gym I go to.
You're a member too.
At that time,
you were with your boyfriend.
My boyfriend?
Yeah, the guy with you.
He was more focused on his games
than the gym equipment.
Then your...
then your dad came.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's my cousin, Drew.
Okay.
Son, come here for a sec. Help me out.
Okay, Mom. Excuse me.
Here.
Thank you for inviting me here, Jomar.
You know, I really love this place.
- This is also my favorite place.
- Really?
It's nice that we like the same things.
Now I know why
I've seen you here before, too.
Really?
Let me show you my evidence.
There.
There! See?
Honestly, I wanted to talk to you,
but Drew was with you.
I thought he was your boyfriend,
but I'm glad he isn't.
Hold on, why did you take a picture of me?
What?
My question was clear, wasn't it?
So why did you?
Honestly?
Honestly.
You know what...
I like you...
even from before.
I'm really grateful that your Auntie Azon
and my grandpa got together.
Because of them...
Jomar, I'm not ready
to get into a relationship.
I just want to focus on my studies.
Jomar, let's stay friends, okay?
Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you! Keep the change.
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
- See you again!
- See you!
Hey! What was that?
What was that?
What's up with you?
What is it?
What's with the stare?
You're staring at him.
Are you jealous?
Azon...
Azon?
Bru!
- Azon.
- Hi, Bru!
What's this?
Here. Tsubaki.
- Wow, thank you!
- Or red camellia.
Thank you!
It represents love, because...
Because?
Because, you know...
No, I want to hear it.
Because?
Because...
- Because?
- I love you, even though you're a witch.
I love you very much too,
even though you're a male witch.
Thank you.
It's Jomar.
Wow.
How cute!
This is nice.
- Bru.
- What?
Let's try it too. Let's do it.
What do you mean "Let's do it"?
I don't know how to dance.
We can do it, Bru.
Let's dance that. We can do it.
No.
- Let's dance, Bru.
- I don't want to.
Nope. I don't want to.
Shoulder. Shoulder. Down.
Again!
Shoulder. Shoulder. Down.
Reach down.
Other side.
- Reach down!
- Sexy!
- Sexy?
- Come here!
- What "sexy"?
- Just do the move.
One more time.
- Jomar! Look!
- Yeah?
- Look at this. Auntie sent a link!
- What? Let me see!
- Watch this!
- They're dancing! Look!
- Yeah, shake it!
- Wow!
- I really like that pose.
- Right?
I'm hungry.
Then let's eat. I'm cold, too.
Let's eat.
What do you want to eat?
- Puto.
- Puto?
You want rice cakes?
I want halo-halo with jackfruit.
Let's use the ice here.
You're so silly!
You're crazy.
- You're a puto.
- You really are a male witch.
- Ouch!
- Oh, no!
Ouch!
- I'm okay.
- Wait.
- Does it hurt again?
- I'm okay.
Give me a moment. I'm okay.
- Okay?
- Don't worry. I'm okay.
Are you sure?
- So you want...
- Hey! Wait!
So you want halo-halo?
Then have some!
- Bru! Wait!
- Then have halo-halo!
Ouch!
Bru!
All right!
You want more?
Ouch!
Hey!
Azon!
There!
- Bru.
- Yes!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, Bru!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Wait a sec.
Here.
Merry Christmas!
- Thank you, Bru! Thank you!
- You're welcome!
What's this?
Open it.
- Where'd you get this?
- Do you like it? Beautiful, right?
- Where'd you get this?
- Why?
- What?
- Where'd you get this?
From Helena.
Why are you laughing?
I also have a gift for you.
Merry Christmas, Bru!
Merry Christmas!
Wow!
Why...
Why do these look like a pair?
At least his and hers.
- Right?
- That's true.
So where'd you get this?
- From Helena!
- From Helena, too?
- Installment plan.
- We're the same.
Couple watch.
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Let's wear...
Hold on. It's Marlon.
Hello?
Sis? Sis don't hang up.
I just wanted to greet you
a Merry Christmas.
Sis, I'm sorry.
Sorry for all the things I did to you.
I'm regretting all of it.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
I love you very much.
I love you.
My love for you never disappeared.
I forgive you, Marlon.
Let's forget about this
and not talk about it anymore.
Thank you so much, Sis.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you there, too.
Bye, Sis.
Father, Mother, I promise
I'm going to change.
AETERNITAS
CHAPELS AND COLUMBARIUM
Come on.
So, shall we have lunch? I'm hungry.
- Okay?
- Let's go.
Ouch!
- Careful.
- Ouch!
Azon?
- Wait.
- Bru.
What?
Your wife has...
osteoarthritis.
It seems she's been enduring it
for a long time now,
because it became a bit severe.
Osteoarthritis?
Can it still be treated, doc?
Her situation would be quite difficult.
Well... Besides taking medicine,
she would need regular
rehabilitation exercises
for a quicker recovery.
I'll prescribe the medicine
she will need to take.
Okay.
- Ouch!
- Careful.
Stay here.
Give that to me.
I'm fine. I can do this. What's with you?
I'll just put it on the table.
- I can do it myself!
- Okay.
Why don't you go to the room and rest?
Okay? Go ahead.
I'll do the cooking.
Do you want some ramen?
It'll be easy to prepare,
so you can drink your medicine after.
- I'll leave it to you.
- Okay.
Go to our room.
Okay, fine. Take care of it.
Once you take your meds,
the pain should go away.
Hey! What was that?
I already told you
to go to the room and rest!
What are you doing?
How many times
do I have to tell you that I'm fine?
I'm the one supposed to be doing these!
You're sick!
You're in pain!
Do you want me to bring you
back to the hospital?
Did I ask you to take me
to the hospital in the first place?
Did I tell you I wanted to get a check-up?
Is that what I wanted?
Ouch! Oh, God...
Ouch!
Ouch...
It hurts.
It hurts...
I'm sorry, Bru.
You can do this.
You can do it.
But I'm tired.
I know, but this is good for your knee,
like the doctor said.
- Okay?
- Okay...
How about you? Later it's your turn.
Yeah.
- You're almost done.
- I'm tired already.
Okay, you're done.
- No more...
- Okay, take a break.
- I'm going to get water. I'm tired.
- Okay, sure.
- It's your turn.
- I'll just be here.
Okay.
Mr. Handsome, can you help me
with this please?
- Hold on.
- Yes.
Hold on.
All right?
Yes, thank you!
And you, are you okay?
- Yes.
- Sorry.
Aren't you cute?
Weren't we supposed to be there?
She...
- She was asking for help.
- You should be helping me!
Thank you, Lord, for the harvest!
Tomorrow, you'll be receiving your pay.
We're happy to receive our pay tomorrow.
My treat tomorrow!
- Please eat and enjoy yourselves.
- Okay!
You've all worked hard.
Thank you!
It's time to dance.
Let's go! Let's dance!
Miss! Hey, Ms. Beautiful, let's dance.
Bru, let's dance!
Yeah!
Let's dance!
Do your best!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Come to think of it,
you've been together for six years!
Azon sure is something.
She's so patient with you.
- Hold on, wait a sec!
- Why?
Hey! I'm a good guy.
There, another one of your bad habits.
You're a liar.
- You're terrible.
- Hey!
- What?
- What are you doing to my husband?
Nothing. I just said you lasted six years.
You must be patient with him.
Of course, I love him.
You love him?
I love him!
A late bloomer's love
sure is powerful. Solid.
You're a solid one.
Look who's talking?
You're not so young yourself.
Hey, they're our friends.
Don't get too close to them.
They're bad influences.
They really are.
For 40 years, I've been friends
with that husband of yours!
Is it hurting again?
Go see a doctor.
Didn't I tell you to go to sleep?
I'm going to the bathroom. I need to pee.
Well, I also have to go.
If I end up going here,
you'd need to clean again.
Then you go first.
Ladies first.
Ladies first.
I'll do it.
I'm an expert at that.
Just shut the door.
Don't be shy. I've seen it already.
You're being a pervert.
Shut the door!
Okay.
Hey.
Hurry, okay?
I have to wash that, too.
Hurry.
Bru, you're such a pervert!
Close that door!
Okay.
Joey!
Joey!
Joey! I'm done!
Joey!
Joey?
- What are you doing there? I'm done.
- What?
Nothing, I really need to go.
Joey?
Joey, are you okay?
Of course!
Why wouldn't I be?
I'll go to the bedroom first, okay?
Bru?
I'll follow.
Dad?
Hello, Dad?
Dad, are you there?
Hello, Dad.
Is there a problem?
Honey.
I went to see a doctor.
And...
he said I have a heart problem.
What did Auntie Azon say?
Dad, Jomar and I can go to Japan.
No, there's no need.
This is nothing.
I just need to take my meds.
Dad, you know that's a silent killer.
It has no symptoms, until it's too late.
What did Auntie Azon say?
Nothing yet.
We're the only ones who know about this.
Don't tell Azon.
No, Dad! That's not right.
She needs to know.
It's important that she knows.
Okay. I'll tell her, too.
I'll just keep you posted. Okay?
Dad, please.
Please, if you feel anything,
call me, okay?
I love you, Dad. Please.
I love you, too.
Azon?
- Hey!
- Why are you cooking?
I left some food.
Didn't I tell you to rest?
I just wanted to cook sinigang for you.
Where've you been?
Hey, you didn't answer me.
Edwin's place.
I visited him.
I know you're in pain. I'll finish that.
No. I'm fine.
You just think that. I'm not in pain.
I can do this.
And just because I feel something,
doesn't mean I won't take care of you.
You might end up replacing me.
Then you'll see.
Ouch.
But, Bru...
Bru...
I think about how maybe one day,
I will become a burden,
then you'll have to take care of me.
I don't want that.
Because I know you'll have a hard time.
It's unfair for you to take care of me.
If that time comes, just leave me.
What are you even saying?
That's not the Azon I married.
Come on!
And why will I leave you? You're my wife!
I'm just being honest.
But, Bru...
I don't want you to think like that.
Okay?
Don't think like that.
Stop it.
Are you done cooking?
Okay, I'll serve it. Let's eat.
This looks good.
Bru?
Did you take your meds?
It hurts.
I'll take you to the bed.
Come here.
It hurts.
You should rest.
Okay?
Careful.
We'll eat breakfast here.
Okay?
Okay.
Lie down.
Bru!
Bru!
Bru, come on, let's eat,
while the food is hot.
Bru?
Yes.
Let's go, Bru! Let's eat.
Don't keep the food waiting.
What's for lunch today?
Fish in calamansi.
Come on, while it's hot.
Do we have fish sauce?
It's all set.
Come on, let's eat together,
while it's hot.
What's wrong? Bru?
What? Bru?
- What's wrong?
- It's...
Bru, what's wrong?
Bru!
Akira, you've really done it now.
I'm sorry, Azon.
From now on, I'll tell you everything.
Joey didn't want you to worry.
So, I couldn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
I'm all right, Akira.
I'm not happy with you.
Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
I don't like this.
Don't worry, I'm strong.
What "strong?"
You have a heart problem.
It's nothing.
Now, I'm the one who will worry about you.
I can take care of myself. Sit. Come on.
Azon.
I know myself better than you.
Besides...
weren't we going to make a dance video?
Right?
Weren't we also going to make a baby?
You're not funny.
- We might just make it.
- Why did you hide your condition from me?
Don't you want me to take care of you?
Sorry.
I couldn't tell you.
Sorry.
I just don't want to add to your problems.
Your problem is my problem.
We're married.
We don't keep secrets.
Okay.
Okay, Bru.
I will cook and you will eat well,
so you can take your meds.
- Bru, medicine time.
- Okay.
Here.
Your turn.
Open wide...
Thank you!
Thank you as well!
Joey...
Yeah?
I love you so much.
I love you too, Azon.
- Bru.
- Yes?
I love you.
What about the other side?
- This one?
- Yes.
- Later.
- What?
- I'll do this part first.
- It's protruding.
I'll get to it later.
Not that. Sorry.
Don't you think this part
needs to be rounded?
What do you think?
It's okay, but later.
- You're so persistent.
- Sorry.
Okay, keep going.
- I'm still learning.
- We're not done yet, okay?
Later. Be patient.
Come here.
- What?
- Just come here.
- Right here.
- What? Why?
Sit here.
We'll finish this?
Yeah, later.
Bru, sing for me.
Please?
All right.
And I'm sure, when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love
Like never before
My love, who could ask for more?
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
When I met you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began
When I met you
Bru, it's cold.
Yeah, but our walk this afternoon
was good.
I feel a bit better today.
Of course, that's good.
How about you? Your knee?
It's not hurting now, thankfully.
Bru...
we're not getting any younger.
We should eat healthy.
You ate so much today.
That's because the sweet and sour dish
you made was so good
paired with Japanese rice.
We need to eat less rice, okay?
Rice is life.
We should eat healthy. Healthy.
Healthy. Let's go inside,
we need to take our meds.
Come on. It's cold.
Let's go.
Follow me, okay?
I'll just go get water.
You go ahead to the bedroom.
So cold!
Clear up the bed, okay?
Bru.
Get our pills, I have the water.
Bru?
Bru!
Where are you, Bru?
Bru?
Stop this. I'm tired.
Where are you?
Bru, stop your teasing.
Come on, your meds.
Bru!
Bru!
So, he didn't come in yet.
Bru?
Bru.
Joey?
Joey!
Joey?
Joey!
Joey! Joey! Joey!
Joey!
Bru... Akira!
Akira, help! Akira!
Akira, help!
Joey, no.
Joey!
Help!
Akira, help!
Call the ambulance.
Joey?
Hello, this is an emergency. Please hurry!
Bru, I'm here.
Bru?
Bru.
Joey!
Bru, I'm here.
Akira, help.
Joey, no.
I...
I love you.
No, Joey, please.
Bru, no, please!
Joey!
Joey, no.
Joey, no!
Bru, I can't.
I can't. Bru, don't leave me!
Joey, we had a promise.
Joey!
Joey, no.
Please, don't.
No!
Joey, no.
Joey!
No!
Don't leave me!
No, Joey!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad, how could you?
Let's dance, Azon.
I promise I won't get tired
of dancing with you, forever.
How can you move on from a person
who gave all of his love for you?
How can you recover from losing a person
who showed and taught you
the beauty of the world?
Bru, in taking care of a bonsai,
the most important tool is patience.
You need to persevere.
The bonsai tree, for the Japanese,
symbolizes balance and harmony
between nature, man, and soul.
And it is also associated
with inner peace...
and contentment.
So, Bru...
you're my bonsai tree.
Because when I'm with you,
I have inner peace and contentment.
Wow.
That's wonderful to hear.
You, too.
You're my bonsai tree.
I love you, Bru.
I love you.
Can I get a kiss?
I now believe in my mother's words,
that every person is born into this world
with a partner, or soulmate.
I thank God
for the short period of my life
that I got to spend with Joey
and feel his love for me.
I am also grateful for
the chance I was given
to make him feel my love for him.
Thank you.
I love you, Bru.
WEHN I MET YOU IN TOKYO
Subtitle translation by
My mother used to always say
that every person is
born with a life partner.
Or our so-called "soulmate."
A person who shares half of our souls,
the one who is meant
to be with us for life.
But it seems
the one destined for me
has been terribly delayed.
Will you marry me?
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
Or maybe I'm really waiting for nothing.
Ouch!
Rude. He didn't even say sorry.
I don't know why,
but I've started to find love corny.
Love is so overrated.
It's a huge lie.
One big joke.
Being in a relationship...
is like kendo, fencing,
or any form of martial arts.
It is a battle.
At first, it's exhilarating,
just two fools excited
by the act of courtship.
But once you're familiar with each other,
that's when the true dynamics
of the relationship begins.
If one cuts the other,
the other one cuts back.
- You'll end up hurting each other.
- Point!
In the end, only one will be victorious,
while the other ends up a big loser.
And most often...
that's me.
Thank you.
Today is your birthday!
We have a surprise for you.
- What?
- Surprise.
- We have a surprise. Come on.
- What?
WHEN I MET YOU IN TOKYO
- Good morning!
- Good morning!
- Good morning!
- Azon!
Good morning, Azon!
Good morning! Why didn't
you come to work with us?
Maybe you met with a guy,
or secret boyfriend.
Hey, if I met a guy,
I wouldn't be here at work.
I'd be out enjoying myself.
Yeah, right.
- What fun.
- Hold on. I'm getting a call.
Wait a sec.
It's my niece. Hold on.
- Okay.
- Let's go!
We'll see you later.
Hello!
Hi, my baby! How are you?
We're fine, Auntie Beauty.
Hi, Auntie Beauty! How are you?
Hello, Drew!
Auntie, I have good news for you!
What?
All my grades are very high,
which means I can apply
for scholarship next semester.
Thank you, Lord!
All right, I'll send you 10,000 yen,
so you can go shopping.
Auntie, you don't have to. I'm fine.
Auntie, I'm more than willing
to receive that money!
Drew,
I'll give you the money
if you can give me high grades.
Hannah...
is your dad there?
Can I talk to him?
Auntie, sorry, Dad isn't here.
What is it? I can take a message for him.
I sent him 80,000 pesos yesterday,
so he and the architect
can buy the materials they need.
I hope they got everything already.
Okay, Hannah?
Hannah?
Yes, they did.
Tell him to send me pictures, okay?
So that I can see the progress.
I really hope that gets done,
because I'm already tired.
I'm getting old. I want to retire.
Hello, my baby?
Hello?
Hannah? Why aren't you saying anything?
Is there a problem?
Auntie, I'm sorry,
I was just thinking of something.
Oh, right, Auntie, happy birthday!
Auntie, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Auntie Beauty!
Thank you!
I thought you wouldn't
remember my birthday.
Thank you!
- Azon.
- Oh, all right.
Hannah, I'll call again, okay?
- Okay, bye. I love you!
- So...
- Bye, Auntie!
- Bye, Auntie!
- Good morning!
- Morning.
Azon. Please clean room 405, okay?
Yes. Please excuse me.
Be quick.
I always lose to you!
You just need more practice.
- Welcome back!
- Hey!
- How are you?
- I'm tired.
- You're tired?
- I lost again.
Geez.
It's his fault!
Get our gifts.
Okay.
I'm spent!
Tada!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Because you're such a shy guy,
this is the perfect gift for you.
Especially for the cold weather.
No, no, no!
We're just joking. Sorry!
We have a real gift for you.
Seriously?
Hold on.
Hey you!
Joey!
Whoa!
- What's this?
- Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
I really like it very much!
Happy birthday, Dad!
Enjoy your special day, Grandpa!
Charlene, Jom, thank you!
So...
How are you over there?
We're good.
We're okay, but we miss you.
Dad...
there's someone else here
who wants to greet you.
Who?
Hi, Jo, happy birthday!
Jo!
Jo!
Are you still mad?
That was a long time ago, Jo.
Even now, you still don't
want to speak to me?
Or forgive me?
Jo!
Mom, let's give him space.
The time will come
when he'll be able to forgive you.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
- Don't be loud.
Why are you here?
We'll be in trouble
if the supervisor sees us together.
He's eating downstairs.
- You saw him?
- Relax.
Azon, let's go clubbing tonight.
It's your birthday.
You might even meet a guy there.
You know I've given up on that,
and you're always such a heavy spender.
I'm trying to be practical.
You know I'm having a house built,
and an apartment as well.
- Oh, right, I want to show you something.
- What is that?
Here, the latest update
sent by my brother.
- It's so nice!
- Looks good!
I'm jealous.
You spend too much. Try saving up more.
There, see?
It's so fulfilling to see
where all your money is going.
- Can you move a bit?
- That's true.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- You're welcome.
- You know, let's go out later tonight.
We can split the bill.
Let's celebrate your birthday.
I don't want to. Nope.
We're all chipping in.
- Quiet down!
- Don't force me to carry you.
You used to like drinking.
Because you drink too much now.
We're already so noisy.
- Just come with us.
- Let's carry her.
- Come on.
- Stop it.
I'm not interested, you know that.
- Hey, stop it.
- Come on.
- Hold on.
- Let's go!
Okay.
- On one condition...
- What?
We should go home by 11:00 p.m.
Cheers!
Let her!
Hey, who's that girl
going crazy on the dance floor?
Let them enjoy!
Cheers!
Sis, it's 11:30, let's go home.
Don't be a killjoy,
it's our day off tomorrow.
Okay, let's dance! Dance!
Fine, I'll dance.
Look!
They must be crazy.
Yeah! They're all drunk.
They should go home.
Exactly!
Go home!
My countrymen.
My countrymen.
Hey! Are you Filipino?
- Dance with us.
- Yeah...
- Let's dance!
- Wait.
Can you please, please,
not make fools of yourselves here?
Please?
You're too rowdy! Especially you!
- What?
- That's right, especially you!
It's embarrassing to them.
Who's this meddlesome male witch?
- What is it to you? Who are you?
- "Male witch"?
I'm just concerned for the reputation
of Filipinos, female witch.
Don't go crazy in here.
There must be something wrong with you.
- You must be out of your mind.
- No, that's you.
Yeah. Hey, take this one home,
she's drunk.
- Come here, we can dance!
- Come here, let's dance!
- Take that home, she's drunk.
- Azon!
- Come here! Let's dance!
- Azon!
- That's enough, let's just go home.
- You lunatic!
- Hey, you!
- Azon, stop that.
Ouch!
Those three came straight from hell,
not the Philippines.
- Ouch!
- He's too full of himself!
- Put this on and let's go.
- Who does he think he is?
- Hey, you!
- Put this on!
- We're going to a different bar!
- Yeah, we'll go to another bar. Let's go.
- We'll go to another bar. Put this on.
- No!
- You're going to fall.
- No, he's so rude. Rude!
- We'll go to another bar.
- Let's go.
Azon, not there, not there.
Let's go outside.
- We need to buy water.
- He's so rude.
Wait a sec. Hey, you!
What are you looking at?
- So what are you looking at?
- What?
Whoa!
- Let's go outside.
- Let's get you water.
- Come on!
- Hurry!
PUB BONSAI
Joey?
Don't you remember me?
You ghosted me
after something happened between us.
- Wait.
- So...
What happened?
You completely vanished.
Miss, maybe you've got the wrong person.
- I don't know you.
- Come on, don't deny it.
At least be honest!
Don't string people along!
Shameless!
Wow!
- You think high of yourself, male witch.
- What the...
You also have a stench to hide.
Hold on, what do you know
about me, female witch, huh?
You're just an eavesdropper.
Do you even know me?
Why? Do you know me?,
You? You're the woman
who was going crazy inside earlier.
You enjoyed every moment of it, huh?
You got slapped.
Now, here's my fist.
You want to fight back?
- Want to hit back?
- Azon!
- Hey, Azon!
- Let's go, Azon!
Stop that!
What? Did you think I wouldn't fight you?
Let's go! Stop it!
- Here, cross this line!
- Stop it!
- Let's go home.
- Azon!
- You want to go home at 11:00?
- Stop it.
- Stop it!
- No, let's drink!
Hey! I'm going to wreck your life,
remember that!
- Let's go, Azon!
- No, let's keep drinking.
- Let's go home.
- Hey, we're not done yet!
What bad luck.
Ouch!
It's big!
You're so disgusting!
Yummy!
I told you it's like German sausage.
Right?
You're a pervert!
German sausage that's hot.
- How does it taste?
- Yummy!
- Yummy!
- Hey!
It's too early for your racket.
What are you laughing about?
It's her fault.
She's been talking nonsense.
Why is it my fault again?
My head hurts.
- Hey, go on. Tell her already.
- Fine.
Here's my share of the rent.
That includes what
I owe you from last month.
Thank you!
Where's your rent?
Give me a break, I'm still drinking.
Don't worry.
Hey, are you even paying your OWWA fees?
Oh, shoot.
- Oh, no.
- That's every two years.
Oh, no...
What's with that reaction?
I forgot.
Only $25 every two years,
and you still forgot?
You know, if you die without
making your contributions,
you will only get 20,000 pesos.
Really? Death already?
But if you're updated, when you die...
Death again?
You'll get 220,000 pesos,
and your children will receive benefits
like a scholarship to finish studies.
You want me to avail this right away?
Like right now?
I'm serious, I'm not joking.
It's up to you.
You know there are more benefits.
Yeah, I know.
Why are we even talking
about OWWA right now?
I thought your head hurt.
I thought so too.
My head hurts because the two of you
wanted to go clubbing.
You know I don't like that.
Don't like?
What time did we get home?
Past 1:00 a.m.
You know what?
If you didn't get into a fight last night,
we would've probably
stayed out until morning.
Yeah.
- I got into a fight?
- Yeah!
Don't you remember?
You punched someone.
What?
Joey, you're too slow. Hurry up.
Yeah.
- You're the one who's slow.
- I'm not slow. That's you, Joey.
Stop it.
Can you believe that I got into a fight
and don't remember a thing?
I promise, my baby,
I'm never drinking again.
That's okay, Auntie,
just enjoy yourself there.
You never know,
you might meet your forever.
I'm past all that.
I don't believe in that anymore.
What's important to me
is you, your father,
your Aunt Gina, and your cousins...
You guys are my true forever!
Thank you, Auntie Beauty!
We love you very much!
Love you, Auntie!
Dad?
What...
Where's the...
Dad, where's the van?
- Is this my sister?
- Yes...
Hello, my beautiful sister.
The architect and I found someone
to do the roof of your house.
Don't worry, they do quality work.
Your roof will definitely
last a long time.
I'll send you pictures.
Also, can you send more money over?
We've got a lot of expenses.
Don't worry, I'll stop by the bank
and deposit to your account.
Okay, sister. Thank you.
- Bye!
- Hold on.
Wait, Marlon? Marlon?
Dad, where's the van?
You know, it's obvious.
You lost in the casino again, did you?
Did you pawn it off again?
I'll get it back. Leave it to me.
How?
Well, of course, uncle will just gamble
the money Auntie will be sending.
The one for the "roof."
Can you stay out of my business?
I'm in a bad mood.
Dad, don't you feel guilty?
She's the one making a living for us.
She had this house built for us,
bought everything for us,
paying for me and Drew's tuition.
- That's true.
- But you treat her like this?
Don't preach to me like that.
Don't meddle.
Weren't you leaving? Go now!
Welcome!
Thank you.
Thank you.
These please.
Wait a moment.
Hey! You're a Filipino!
You are, aren't you?
How nice.
I'll get more. Give me a discount, okay?
Wait.
Good thing there's a Filipino here.
I work at Crown Plaza.
I work there.
Here, add this.
There.
Okay.
Will that be all...
witch?
What?
Witch?
Who are you calling witch?
You really don't know who I am?
Huh?
And what you did to me last night?
Last night?
Oh?
Yes, last night!
See?
For a small woman,
you sure pack a punch.
Hold on.
We're not done yet.
I'll get back to you.
Hannah, hurry, I still
have a male witch to deal with.
What?
Auntie, I'm so sorry,
but my conscience can't take
what my father has been doing to you.
What are you saying?
Dad is lying to you.
There's no apartment or rest house.
Auntie, he's been gambling away the money
you've been sending over.
Okay, Hannah.
I'll call your father.
Are you still going to shop...
or are you just going to talk
on the phone?
A moment, male witch,
I'm just going to deal with this.
Hello, my beautiful sister. What's up?
Marlon...
is it true that you're not really
having my house and apartment built?
That you've been gambling away
all the money I've sent?
Who's the liar
who fed you those rumors?
What's the architect's number?
Let's go on a conference call
so that we'll know
who's been telling the truth.
Whoever's the gossip that told you that,
they just want to ruin my name.
Give me the number of architect
and I'll ask them directly!
What?
Why won't you say anything?
Is it because
everything they told me is true?
Making a fool out of your own sister.
You're absolutely shameless, Marlon.
How dare you?
I've made all possible sacrifices
to give you a good life.
Why did you do this to me?
How could you do this to me, Marlon?
Family can be like that sometimes.
Even though you keep
making sacrifices for them,
they can still betray and disgrace you.
Our personal lives are
none of your business.
Whatever I did to you last night,
I'm sorry!
Seriously?
What's wrong?
Do you know her?
She's pretty.
She may be pretty,
but she has a rotten personality.
She's that bad?
Did she pay?
- Did she pay?
- It's fine.
But...
She didn't pay!
Hannah!
Hannah. It's Uncle Marlon!
Which one of you told your auntie?
I know one of you did it.
- Was it you? Or you?
- Dad!
You both told your Auntie?
What?
No.
What?
I didn't want to do it, but...
I felt bad for Auntie.
- Uncle!
- You, too!
You know what you are?
A traitor!
Wait.
Let's go to your shop.
Joey, let's go on Sunday. Is that okay?
Yes, thank you.
Okay.
Please excuse me.
Witch! I can't leave.
Why?
In case you're forgetting,
you didn't pay for my vegetables.
How much was it?
Don't worry about it. My treat.
You smiled.
You know what?
You look pretty when you smile.
Thank you!
I'm joking.
You're a real male witch.
Hey.
Witch... Ouch!
Karma!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Are you sure you're good?
You're okay? You good?
Of course.
- You're okay?
- Yes.
Don't forget,
if something happens to you,
it's just karma.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
What's this?
Flowers for you. Can't believe it, huh?
Those are yours.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers.
You're blooming.
Your charm reaches all the way
from Tokyo to Zimbabwe.
Who are these from?
Why don't you just go down and find out?
Just tell me who these are from.
If this is a prank,
you two will be sleeping outside tonight.
Better hurry down so you can know
for yourself. You talk too much!
- Go ahead!
- I'll go with you.
- I have things to do.
- Come!
- Our supervisor...
- Don't worry about him!
Slowly, so you look fresh.
Don't worry about the supervisor.
- He has a crush on me.
- Slowly!
Let's be careful. If the supervisor
finds out, I'm blaming you.
I'll just show him some skin
and he'll forget all about it.
Go to him. Hurry!
You know what to do.
Bring home the bacon.
What are you talking about?
Why do you look like
you've seen a ghost, witch?
Wait...
Those are ajisai...
Hydrangeas in English.
Why did you give me flowers?
Wait a sec.
Do you like me?
Your wife might get mad at me
and come here.
Okay.
First off,
I don't have a wife.
We're annulled.
Second, for your information, Miss Blue,
those flowers are commonly given by
the Japanese when they want to apologize.
That's why I'm here to say sorry
for all the things I said to you
at the club and
for all the jokes I made yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I'm asking for your forgiveness.
Truthfully, I don't remember
a thing from that night.
Let's just forget about it.
I'm Joey, by the way.
Azon.
I'm going now because...
my supervisor might start looking for me.
Okay. Thank you!
She has a love life!
So, he's the reason she's blooming!
Hey, stop that. He was just apologizing.
- Oh?
- Really now?
Azon, don't try denying it.
At this day and in our age!
Are you going to be choosy?
My God.
He's handsome with a good body.
You don't like him?
I'll take him. He can be mine.
Stop it, you two.
Stop it, I'm getting chills.
I don't like those kinds of jokes,
so stop it.
You're smelling them.
Hey! I'm not!
You look happy!
Who's smiling?
Hey!
Liar!
Lucky you!
Wow!
It's our 40th wedding anniversary,
so I need to go home.
- Forty years?
- Yeah!
Your wife sure is a tough one, no?
She managed to endure you for 40 years.
You're terrible.
From then until now,
you still like to bully your friends.
Hey, congratulations on your anniversary.
Thank you!
But I'm even more grateful
because you're going to cover for me.
Just two days, my friend.
I'll just be gone for four days,
then I'll be back.
It's no problem.
- Wow.
- Leave it to me.
That's what I like about you, Joey.
You're a really loving friend.
Wait!
By the way, I spoke to Akira.
Is it true that you've become
addicted to bonsai trees?
Yeah, and I make money from it.
It's good money.
Is that so?
You're what I call someone
who's okay, but not okay.
Joey...
that's not you, you're not the type
to care for bonsai trees.
Okay.
Let's stop with the jokes for a minute.
Let's talk freely.
You know, my friend,
as long as you keep everything bottled up,
your anger, your resentment,
you'll continue being miserable.
You can see it all on your face.
It's like you're sabotaging yourself.
You're not allowing your life to have joy,
laughter, and a happy future.
Let's not talk about things
that don't need to be talked about.
What I mean is,
where is the Joey I've been friends with
for more than 40 years?
The one who's cheerful, happy,
helpful, and sweet to everyone.
There, see?
I'm trying to talk to you
and you're walking away.
Is that right?
And the way you up and left
to be all alone in some faraway place.
I'm neighbors with Akira.
It's not that.
What if, God forbid,
something bad happens to you,
who's going to help you?
This is a serious matter, Joey.
Living with someone is different
from having someone in your life.
Right?
Father confessor...
can you please stop the sermon?
Please, father.
There, there's the Joey I'm looking for.
I miss that Joey.
My goodness.
Joey, I miss you.
I'm your friend, Edwin.
I have one last thing to say, okay?
Then sit down, and listen up. Okay?
Listen to your friend
- who cares about you.
- Fine.
Take this advice
from a friend who loves you.
Seriously.
Joey...
You have a right to be happy.
Let yourself love again.
And let yourself meet someone
who will truly love you.
Okay?
Okay.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- You're my dearest friend, okay?
- Yeah.
FORGIVE - Just as the Lord forgave you,
so also should you FORGIVE.
Colossians 3:13
Goodbye. Okay, you take care.
- Yes, Mom. I love you.
- Take care of yourself.
Wait. I'll answer this first.
Okay.
Your dad.
- What?
- Yeah!
- Ma!
- What will I do?
- Answer it!
- What?
Please just answer him.
Mom.
Hello, Joey. Hi!
What? Is this a prank call?
No.
Joey, why?
Is there a problem?
Is there something wrong with you?
Susan, I called because...
Joey?
All the things that happened between us...
let's forget about it.
I forgive you.
I apologize as well.
I'm sorry for all the things I've done.
Thank you!
Joey, I've been waiting
for this for so long.
Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you.
Susan...
Always take care of yourself, okay?
Charlene...
Mom...
My son's asking for another laptop.
Again?
I just bought him one last month,
which he broke again already.
Then just buy a new one.
But it's so expensive, Azon.
How can I buy him another?
You'll still buy it, though.
- Plus, the kid needs it.
- That's true.
- I wish I knew how to use a laptop.
- Azon!
- Azon!
- That's him.
- Oh!
- It's him!
- It's Mr. Handsome!
- Hey...
Are you done with work?
Yeah... It is!
Why are you here?
I was just passing by, running an errand.
Wait.
Do you know where Live Spot is?
It's a bar near here.
I know that place. I know it!
I wanted to invite you tomorrow night,
because we have a gig there.
If you're free.
So you're a songer? He's a songer!
It's "singer"!
Both start with an S.
- So...
- We'll be there!
- We'll be there...
- Okay.
I need to do overtime tomorrow.
You have no more overtime.
We finished all of it, right? Right?
- Right?
- Yeah...
So?
Anyway, we'll be there!
Okay.
Thank you very much.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, bye!
All right!
Don't be coy! You're so prude.
Okay, let's go.
There I was, an empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life were all about
Then you came
You brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew
There I was, so in love with you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know
I'm onto something good
And I'm sure, my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares away
Where they can't bother me
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
You been singing there for a long time?
Yes, when I was younger.
But I'm retired now.
My friend asked me
to stand in for him for a while,
because he had something important
to do back in the Philippines.
Now that you live here,
what do you do for a living?
I saved some money.
Then I bought a piece of land
which I turned into a farm.
- Near Shiba.
- I see.
That's what I live off from.
I see.
Joey bought a piece of land in Shiba.
He's a very hardworking and fine guy.
Azon too.
Any man would be lucky to win her heart.
She's very kind, caring, and loving.
I see.
So? Anything else to add?
Bru, you're lucky to own a farm already.
Meanwhile I've been fooled
by my own brother.
Let's not talk about that,
it might ruin your night.
So, we'll go ahead.
We have something to do, right?
- We do?
- Yeah, we need to go.
- We do!
- Yeah, we do.
Let's leave together.
We'll be gone until morning.
- Let's go.
- You stay with them.
- Enjoy the night. Bye!
- Hey! Wait!
- Bye!
- Hey!
I'll go home, too.
What?
Akira!
I'll go to the bus station and wait there.
No, I'll take you home.
- Okay?
- But...
Let's just walk there, it's close anyway.
- It's cold.
- It's a bit chilly today.
I'm practically wearing a blanket.
Ouch.
- Ouch.
- Wait. What happened?
I'm okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Is it rheumatism?
- It's not!
- Let's rest here.
Let's sit first.
- Careful.
- Sometimes...
Sometimes this hurts,
whenever I've been standing...
- Okay.
- ...or walking for too long.
Because we could have taken the bus,
but someone suggested we walk.
And sometimes when it's cold.
But this is nothing. This is nothing.
Why are you looking at me like that?
- You're teasing me.
- No, I'm not.
Maybe the reason your wife left you
is because you're such a tease.
So I'm single only because I'm a tease?
That's not the reason.
Then what?
She met someone else...
while I was working here.
What?
That's too short. Keep going.
I had no idea.
I kept toiling away here
for her and my kid.
Turns out, she was
already with someone else.
Sorry.
Sorry.
It's my turn to ask.
So...
Did you and your husband separate because...
you hit him, too?
- What?
- Hey!
The truth is, I had a boyfriend.
We got along,
and were together for a while.
But when I received my application
to come to Japan,
I took it.
But at least, somehow,
I gave my family a comfortable life,
including my parents, before they died.
Because you were eavesdropping,
you also know what happened
with my brother, right?
So now, I'm starting again,
saving up for my retirement.
We're the same then.
I'm saving up for my retirement, too.
Why? How old are you?
Well, the night that you punched me,
it was my birthday!
I'm already 59 years old.
- It was your birthday?
- Yeah! And you punched me.
- It was your birthday?
- Yeah, why?
When's your birthday?
- The night that I punched you.
- Really?
- It was also your birthday?
- We have the same birthday.
That's why we're the same kind of crazy.
- We have the same birthday.
- We do! Right?
I even got punched.
I haven't laughed this much.
A happy laugh.
So now I'm the clown?
You know what?
Since you made me laugh like this,
can we meet again?
How did you become
a permanent resident here in Japan?
I was a caregiver for seven years.
You know what?
My Japanese boss was such a kind person.
He was my guarantor so that I could
get my permanent residency.
- Wow.
- You?
I got my permanent residency here
on my tenth year here.
- Akira helped me.
- I see.
It also helped
that I paid my taxes diligently.
That's correct.
Come on.
So beautiful.
They sound lovely.
They're great, aren't they?
Come here.
Let's dance.
Stop that.
- What are you doing?
- What?
Let's dance, Bru.
The music is so beautiful.
It's embarrassing. Stop it!
Let's dance.
You're on your own.
Hey. Stop it.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
Fine. I'm on my own.
Stop that. Stop. Stop that.
You look like a lunatic.
Stop that. Hey! You're crazy!
- What's wrong with you?
- What?
Let's dance, Azon.
I promise I won't get tired
of dancing with you, forever.
What are you saying?
Let's not prolong this.
I know...
I like you, Azon.
And I know that you like me, too.
Aren't you going too fast?
Haven't we just met?
Dance with me.
- I...
- Let's try...
to love again.
Don't you back out now.
Don't you embarrass me here, male witch.
Dance with me.
Dance with me.
Hi! Good morning, my babies! Good morning!
Hi, Auntie Beauty! How are you there?
Good morning, Auntie!
I have good news for you.
- Good news?
- Good news?
What is it, Auntie?
I've met my forever.
Oh, my God!
Your Auntie Beauty has a boyfriend.
Oh, my gosh! Congrats, Auntie!
- Congrats Auntie!
- I'm so happy for you.
I'm jealous now!
That's our Auntie!
He's only after her money.
Is that Marlon?
Let me talk to your father.
Dad, it's Auntie.
What, Marlon?
You're an expert, huh?
After all, you've been swindling me
for the longest time.
What?
So...
I'll talk to them.
- No, it's okay.
- I'll talk to them.
Just for a bit.
Marlon, it's Joey.
Hi, Uncle. I'm Hannah.
Hi, Uncle. I'm Drew.
Hannah! Drew!
I'm happy to meet you.
Your aunt always talks to me about you.
Marlon...
I love your sister very much.
I won't hurt her.
Man to man.
My intentions are pure.
Okay, thank you. Bye!
Joey, I have a special present
for you today.
This is for your wedding.
- What?
- It's a kimono.
- This is for Azon.
- Really?
And this one is for you, Joey.
Joey.
Akira...
I wish you and Azon happiness.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much, Akira!
Everyone, please stand.
Please give your warm greeting
to the newly married couple.
As they exchange their promises
and vows to love each other.
I will love you forever.
I will love you too, forever.
One more! One more! One more!
JUSMARRIED
Wow!
Thank you.
- Wow.
- Here.
- Lovely!
- This is...
This is our house.
My queen and lovely wife.
- I love you.
- Me too.
Hey! Why? What are you doing?
- What?
- We're not young anymore!
- Can your knees still take it?
- Of course!
Put me down already!
Put me down!
Put me down already!
You're pretty heavy.
Your things are already in the room.
Is this your house?
Yes. Our house.
Sorry for the mess. It's just me here.
You have a wife now. I'll take care of it.
Thank you very much.
Come here.
- Oh, no!
- What?
- Ouch!
- What?
- Ouch! Wait.
- What's going on?
- Ouch! My hips!
- What?
What happened to you?
My hips.
- Are you okay?
- I pinched a nerve.
- Are you okay?
- It's just a pinched nerve.
Are you okay?
Give me a moment, okay?
Can you really do this?
Yeah, I can.
I can do it.
- Joey!
- I can do it.
- Hey! Your hand!
- What?
- Joey...
- Wait.
- Come on, please.
- Joey...
- I can do it.
- You can?
Joey, your hand.
There it goes again.
- Why now? I can't believe this.
- Careful, Joey.
This timing. Unbelievable.
So annoying...
Are you okay?
- Hey.
- This timing...
Okay, let's just rest.
- No...
- You should rest.
Here.
- What?
- Yeah. Like this.
Joey!
What?
Can you...
Azon?
- Yeah? Why?
- Can you...
Azon...
Can you do it?
- You're terrible!
- Please!
- You perv!
- I can't move.
- You're a perv!
- Please.
Bru!
Yes?
That's enough. Let's have lunch.
- What?
- Let's go.
Let me just finish this.
Let's go! You won't be able
to taste my cooking.
Take a break.
What did you cook?
Tempura? Sushi?
I'm so tired of those.
Your favorite!
What favorite?
Sour fish stew with miso.
Sour fish stew with miso?
How did you know that's my favorite?
Your daughter told me.
- You're so sweaty.
- I can't believe my wife!
I love you.
Is it time for lunch?
- Is it time for lunch?
- Yes!
- Everyone, let's eat!
- Let's go!
- Let's go eat, we're hungry.
- Let's eat!
Yes?
Good afternoon!
Are you Miss Charlene?
Yes, that's me.
I'm Hannah, Azon's niece.
Yes! Come in.
Right here.
Let's get you inside.
Come in.
There.
Here.
Auntie and Uncle Joey sent a package.
Thank you very much!
Please sit!
My son, Jomar.
- Hi!
- Azon's niece.
Let me just get you a snack.
Oh, no, you don't have to.
It's okay.
It's okay. Just sit.
Actually, I've seen you before,
but you didn't notice me.
Really?
Yeah, at the gym I go to.
You're a member too.
At that time,
you were with your boyfriend.
My boyfriend?
Yeah, the guy with you.
He was more focused on his games
than the gym equipment.
Then your...
then your dad came.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's my cousin, Drew.
Okay.
Son, come here for a sec. Help me out.
Okay, Mom. Excuse me.
Here.
Thank you for inviting me here, Jomar.
You know, I really love this place.
- This is also my favorite place.
- Really?
It's nice that we like the same things.
Now I know why
I've seen you here before, too.
Really?
Let me show you my evidence.
There.
There! See?
Honestly, I wanted to talk to you,
but Drew was with you.
I thought he was your boyfriend,
but I'm glad he isn't.
Hold on, why did you take a picture of me?
What?
My question was clear, wasn't it?
So why did you?
Honestly?
Honestly.
You know what...
I like you...
even from before.
I'm really grateful that your Auntie Azon
and my grandpa got together.
Because of them...
Jomar, I'm not ready
to get into a relationship.
I just want to focus on my studies.
Jomar, let's stay friends, okay?
Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you! Keep the change.
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
- See you again!
- See you!
Hey! What was that?
What was that?
What's up with you?
What is it?
What's with the stare?
You're staring at him.
Are you jealous?
Azon...
Azon?
Bru!
- Azon.
- Hi, Bru!
What's this?
Here. Tsubaki.
- Wow, thank you!
- Or red camellia.
Thank you!
It represents love, because...
Because?
Because, you know...
No, I want to hear it.
Because?
Because...
- Because?
- I love you, even though you're a witch.
I love you very much too,
even though you're a male witch.
Thank you.
It's Jomar.
Wow.
How cute!
This is nice.
- Bru.
- What?
Let's try it too. Let's do it.
What do you mean "Let's do it"?
I don't know how to dance.
We can do it, Bru.
Let's dance that. We can do it.
No.
- Let's dance, Bru.
- I don't want to.
Nope. I don't want to.
Shoulder. Shoulder. Down.
Again!
Shoulder. Shoulder. Down.
Reach down.
Other side.
- Reach down!
- Sexy!
- Sexy?
- Come here!
- What "sexy"?
- Just do the move.
One more time.
- Jomar! Look!
- Yeah?
- Look at this. Auntie sent a link!
- What? Let me see!
- Watch this!
- They're dancing! Look!
- Yeah, shake it!
- Wow!
- I really like that pose.
- Right?
I'm hungry.
Then let's eat. I'm cold, too.
Let's eat.
What do you want to eat?
- Puto.
- Puto?
You want rice cakes?
I want halo-halo with jackfruit.
Let's use the ice here.
You're so silly!
You're crazy.
- You're a puto.
- You really are a male witch.
- Ouch!
- Oh, no!
Ouch!
- I'm okay.
- Wait.
- Does it hurt again?
- I'm okay.
Give me a moment. I'm okay.
- Okay?
- Don't worry. I'm okay.
Are you sure?
- So you want...
- Hey! Wait!
So you want halo-halo?
Then have some!
- Bru! Wait!
- Then have halo-halo!
Ouch!
Bru!
All right!
You want more?
Ouch!
Hey!
Azon!
There!
- Bru.
- Yes!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, Bru!
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Wait a sec.
Here.
Merry Christmas!
- Thank you, Bru! Thank you!
- You're welcome!
What's this?
Open it.
- Where'd you get this?
- Do you like it? Beautiful, right?
- Where'd you get this?
- Why?
- What?
- Where'd you get this?
From Helena.
Why are you laughing?
I also have a gift for you.
Merry Christmas, Bru!
Merry Christmas!
Wow!
Why...
Why do these look like a pair?
At least his and hers.
- Right?
- That's true.
So where'd you get this?
- From Helena!
- From Helena, too?
- Installment plan.
- We're the same.
Couple watch.
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
Let's wear...
Hold on. It's Marlon.
Hello?
Sis? Sis don't hang up.
I just wanted to greet you
a Merry Christmas.
Sis, I'm sorry.
Sorry for all the things I did to you.
I'm regretting all of it.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
I love you very much.
I love you.
My love for you never disappeared.
I forgive you, Marlon.
Let's forget about this
and not talk about it anymore.
Thank you so much, Sis.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you there, too.
Bye, Sis.
Father, Mother, I promise
I'm going to change.
AETERNITAS
CHAPELS AND COLUMBARIUM
Come on.
So, shall we have lunch? I'm hungry.
- Okay?
- Let's go.
Ouch!
- Careful.
- Ouch!
Azon?
- Wait.
- Bru.
What?
Your wife has...
osteoarthritis.
It seems she's been enduring it
for a long time now,
because it became a bit severe.
Osteoarthritis?
Can it still be treated, doc?
Her situation would be quite difficult.
Well... Besides taking medicine,
she would need regular
rehabilitation exercises
for a quicker recovery.
I'll prescribe the medicine
she will need to take.
Okay.
- Ouch!
- Careful.
Stay here.
Give that to me.
I'm fine. I can do this. What's with you?
I'll just put it on the table.
- I can do it myself!
- Okay.
Why don't you go to the room and rest?
Okay? Go ahead.
I'll do the cooking.
Do you want some ramen?
It'll be easy to prepare,
so you can drink your medicine after.
- I'll leave it to you.
- Okay.
Go to our room.
Okay, fine. Take care of it.
Once you take your meds,
the pain should go away.
Hey! What was that?
I already told you
to go to the room and rest!
What are you doing?
How many times
do I have to tell you that I'm fine?
I'm the one supposed to be doing these!
You're sick!
You're in pain!
Do you want me to bring you
back to the hospital?
Did I ask you to take me
to the hospital in the first place?
Did I tell you I wanted to get a check-up?
Is that what I wanted?
Ouch! Oh, God...
Ouch!
Ouch...
It hurts.
It hurts...
I'm sorry, Bru.
You can do this.
You can do it.
But I'm tired.
I know, but this is good for your knee,
like the doctor said.
- Okay?
- Okay...
How about you? Later it's your turn.
Yeah.
- You're almost done.
- I'm tired already.
Okay, you're done.
- No more...
- Okay, take a break.
- I'm going to get water. I'm tired.
- Okay, sure.
- It's your turn.
- I'll just be here.
Okay.
Mr. Handsome, can you help me
with this please?
- Hold on.
- Yes.
Hold on.
All right?
Yes, thank you!
And you, are you okay?
- Yes.
- Sorry.
Aren't you cute?
Weren't we supposed to be there?
She...
- She was asking for help.
- You should be helping me!
Thank you, Lord, for the harvest!
Tomorrow, you'll be receiving your pay.
We're happy to receive our pay tomorrow.
My treat tomorrow!
- Please eat and enjoy yourselves.
- Okay!
You've all worked hard.
Thank you!
It's time to dance.
Let's go! Let's dance!
Miss! Hey, Ms. Beautiful, let's dance.
Bru, let's dance!
Yeah!
Let's dance!
Do your best!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Come to think of it,
you've been together for six years!
Azon sure is something.
She's so patient with you.
- Hold on, wait a sec!
- Why?
Hey! I'm a good guy.
There, another one of your bad habits.
You're a liar.
- You're terrible.
- Hey!
- What?
- What are you doing to my husband?
Nothing. I just said you lasted six years.
You must be patient with him.
Of course, I love him.
You love him?
I love him!
A late bloomer's love
sure is powerful. Solid.
You're a solid one.
Look who's talking?
You're not so young yourself.
Hey, they're our friends.
Don't get too close to them.
They're bad influences.
They really are.
For 40 years, I've been friends
with that husband of yours!
Is it hurting again?
Go see a doctor.
Didn't I tell you to go to sleep?
I'm going to the bathroom. I need to pee.
Well, I also have to go.
If I end up going here,
you'd need to clean again.
Then you go first.
Ladies first.
Ladies first.
I'll do it.
I'm an expert at that.
Just shut the door.
Don't be shy. I've seen it already.
You're being a pervert.
Shut the door!
Okay.
Hey.
Hurry, okay?
I have to wash that, too.
Hurry.
Bru, you're such a pervert!
Close that door!
Okay.
Joey!
Joey!
Joey! I'm done!
Joey!
Joey?
- What are you doing there? I'm done.
- What?
Nothing, I really need to go.
Joey?
Joey, are you okay?
Of course!
Why wouldn't I be?
I'll go to the bedroom first, okay?
Bru?
I'll follow.
Dad?
Hello, Dad?
Dad, are you there?
Hello, Dad.
Is there a problem?
Honey.
I went to see a doctor.
And...
he said I have a heart problem.
What did Auntie Azon say?
Dad, Jomar and I can go to Japan.
No, there's no need.
This is nothing.
I just need to take my meds.
Dad, you know that's a silent killer.
It has no symptoms, until it's too late.
What did Auntie Azon say?
Nothing yet.
We're the only ones who know about this.
Don't tell Azon.
No, Dad! That's not right.
She needs to know.
It's important that she knows.
Okay. I'll tell her, too.
I'll just keep you posted. Okay?
Dad, please.
Please, if you feel anything,
call me, okay?
I love you, Dad. Please.
I love you, too.
Azon?
- Hey!
- Why are you cooking?
I left some food.
Didn't I tell you to rest?
I just wanted to cook sinigang for you.
Where've you been?
Hey, you didn't answer me.
Edwin's place.
I visited him.
I know you're in pain. I'll finish that.
No. I'm fine.
You just think that. I'm not in pain.
I can do this.
And just because I feel something,
doesn't mean I won't take care of you.
You might end up replacing me.
Then you'll see.
Ouch.
But, Bru...
Bru...
I think about how maybe one day,
I will become a burden,
then you'll have to take care of me.
I don't want that.
Because I know you'll have a hard time.
It's unfair for you to take care of me.
If that time comes, just leave me.
What are you even saying?
That's not the Azon I married.
Come on!
And why will I leave you? You're my wife!
I'm just being honest.
But, Bru...
I don't want you to think like that.
Okay?
Don't think like that.
Stop it.
Are you done cooking?
Okay, I'll serve it. Let's eat.
This looks good.
Bru?
Did you take your meds?
It hurts.
I'll take you to the bed.
Come here.
It hurts.
You should rest.
Okay?
Careful.
We'll eat breakfast here.
Okay?
Okay.
Lie down.
Bru!
Bru!
Bru, come on, let's eat,
while the food is hot.
Bru?
Yes.
Let's go, Bru! Let's eat.
Don't keep the food waiting.
What's for lunch today?
Fish in calamansi.
Come on, while it's hot.
Do we have fish sauce?
It's all set.
Come on, let's eat together,
while it's hot.
What's wrong? Bru?
What? Bru?
- What's wrong?
- It's...
Bru, what's wrong?
Bru!
Akira, you've really done it now.
I'm sorry, Azon.
From now on, I'll tell you everything.
Joey didn't want you to worry.
So, I couldn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
I'm all right, Akira.
I'm not happy with you.
Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
I don't like this.
Don't worry, I'm strong.
What "strong?"
You have a heart problem.
It's nothing.
Now, I'm the one who will worry about you.
I can take care of myself. Sit. Come on.
Azon.
I know myself better than you.
Besides...
weren't we going to make a dance video?
Right?
Weren't we also going to make a baby?
You're not funny.
- We might just make it.
- Why did you hide your condition from me?
Don't you want me to take care of you?
Sorry.
I couldn't tell you.
Sorry.
I just don't want to add to your problems.
Your problem is my problem.
We're married.
We don't keep secrets.
Okay.
Okay, Bru.
I will cook and you will eat well,
so you can take your meds.
- Bru, medicine time.
- Okay.
Here.
Your turn.
Open wide...
Thank you!
Thank you as well!
Joey...
Yeah?
I love you so much.
I love you too, Azon.
- Bru.
- Yes?
I love you.
What about the other side?
- This one?
- Yes.
- Later.
- What?
- I'll do this part first.
- It's protruding.
I'll get to it later.
Not that. Sorry.
Don't you think this part
needs to be rounded?
What do you think?
It's okay, but later.
- You're so persistent.
- Sorry.
Okay, keep going.
- I'm still learning.
- We're not done yet, okay?
Later. Be patient.
Come here.
- What?
- Just come here.
- Right here.
- What? Why?
Sit here.
We'll finish this?
Yeah, later.
Bru, sing for me.
Please?
All right.
And I'm sure, when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love
Like never before
My love, who could ask for more?
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
When I met you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began
When I met you
Bru, it's cold.
Yeah, but our walk this afternoon
was good.
I feel a bit better today.
Of course, that's good.
How about you? Your knee?
It's not hurting now, thankfully.
Bru...
we're not getting any younger.
We should eat healthy.
You ate so much today.
That's because the sweet and sour dish
you made was so good
paired with Japanese rice.
We need to eat less rice, okay?
Rice is life.
We should eat healthy. Healthy.
Healthy. Let's go inside,
we need to take our meds.
Come on. It's cold.
Let's go.
Follow me, okay?
I'll just go get water.
You go ahead to the bedroom.
So cold!
Clear up the bed, okay?
Bru.
Get our pills, I have the water.
Bru?

Stop this. I'm tired.
Where are you?
Bru, stop your teasing.
Come on, your meds.

So, he didn't come in yet.

Call the ambulance.

Dad, how could you?
Let's dance, Azon.
I promise I won't get tired
of dancing with you, forever.
How can you move on from a person
who gave all of his love for you?
How can you recover from losing a person
who showed and taught you
the beauty of the world?
Bru, in taking care of a bonsai,
the most important tool is patience.
You need to persevere.
The bonsai tree, for the Japanese,
symbolizes balance and harmony
between nature, man, and soul.
And it is also associated
with inner peace...
and contentment.
So, Bru...
you're my bonsai tree.
Because when I'm with you,
I have inner peace and contentment.
Wow.
That's wonderful to hear.
You, too.
You're my bonsai tree.
I love you, Bru.
I love you.
Can I get a kiss?
I now believe in my mother's words,
that every person is born into this world
with a partner, or soulmate.
I thank God
for the short period of my life
that I got to spend with Joey
and feel his love for me.
I am also grateful for
the chance I was given
to make him feel my love for him.
Thank you.
I love you, Bru.
WEHN I MET YOU IN TOKYO
