   O, kumpleto kayo, at hindi pa Pasko. Sino'ng namatay, o ako ba ang pag-uusapan?

   Well, all three of you, and it isn't even Christmas. Who died, or am I what we're here to discuss?

   B

   Kayo po, Pa, pero walang masama. Sa Lunes po, may live-in caregiver na kayo, si Jessa, taga-Nagcarlan.

   You, Pa, but it's nothing bad. Starting Monday, you'll have a live-in caregiver, Jessa, from Nagcarlan.

   C

   Pa, hindi po namin kayo pinababayaan, kaya po may makakasama na kayo. Nag-aalala lang po kami.

   Pa, we're not abandoning you, that's why you'll have someone with you. We're just worried.

   A

   Ay, salamat, may yaya na pala ako sa edad na otsenta'y uno. Ano'ng susunod, andador at babero?

   Oh, thank you, so I've got a nanny now, at eighty-one. What's next, a baby walker and a bib?

   D

   Pa, caregiver po, hindi yaya. May NC II po siya sa TESDA, at marunong siya sa first aid.

   Pa, a caregiver, not a nanny. She's TESDA-certified, NC II, and she knows first aid.

   A

   TESDA? E 'di mas mataas pa pala ang pinag-aralan niya sa pag-aalaga kaysa sa inyong tatlo.

   TESDA? So she's had more training in looking after people than the three of you put together.

   B

   Sabi ko sa inyo, hindi ito madadala sa paliwanag. Norma, ikaw na, ikaw ang paborito.

   I told you guys, explaining won't get us anywhere. Norma, you do it, you're the favorite.

   C

   Pa, natakot po kami. Dalawang oras po kayong nakahiga sa sahig bago kayo nakita ni Mang Ernie.

   Pa, we were scared. You lay on the floor for two hours before Mang Ernie found you.

   A

   Dalawang oras na pahinga, at nakita ko pa ang nawawala kong salamin sa ilalim ng kama. Huwag ninyo akong kaawaan.

   Two hours of rest, and I even found my missing glasses under the bed. Don't you pity me.

   Line 9

    D

    Hindi po awa, Pa. Nasa Maynila po kaming tatlo, at gusto lang po naming may kasama kayo gabi-gabi.

    It's not pity, Pa. All three of us are in Manila, and we just want someone with you every night.

    Line 10

    A

    Kung gayon, isang tanong lang. Kapag may kasama na ako gabi-gabi, may dahilan pa ba kayong umuwi?

    Then just one question. Once I have someone with me every night, will you still have a reason to come home?
