   Magandang gabi po, Ma'am Rosalie. Ano po ang problema sa ballroom?

   Good evening, Ma'am Rosalie. What's the problem with the ballroom?

   B

   Maupo po muna kayo, Sir. Na-double book po ang ballroom, at naunang nagbayad nang buo ang kabilang pamilya.

   Please have a seat first, Sir. The ballroom was double-booked, and the other family paid in full first.

   A

   Hindi ko po kayo sinisisi, pero dalawandaang bisita po ang darating bukas. Sino po sila? Ako na po ang makikiusap.

   I'm not blaming you, but two hundred guests are arriving tomorrow. Who are they? I'll talk to them myself.

   Line 3

   B

   Hindi ko po maibibigay ang pangalan nila, at ayon po sa kontrata, sa naunang nagbayad nang buo ang petsa.

   I can't give out their names, and under the contract, the date goes to whoever paid in full first.

   A

   Ayoko pong mag-eskandalo, Ma'am, pero nabasa rin po kaya iyan ng agent ninyong nagsabing "secured na po kayo, Sir"?

   I don't want to make a scene, Ma'am, but did your agent read that too, the one who told me, "You're all set, Sir"?

   Line 5

   B

   Mali po siya, inaamin po namin. Kaya po iaalok ko ang Poolside Garden, may tent na de-aircon, sagot namin lahat.

   He was wrong, and we admit it. So I'm offering you the Poolside Garden, with an air-conditioned tent, all at our expense.

   A

   Hunyo po ngayon, Ma'am. Kung bumuhos po ang ulan, kayo po ba ang magpapaliwanag sa anak ko?

   It's June, Ma'am. If it pours, will you be the one explaining it to my daughter?

   Line 7

   B

   Kung umulan po, nakahanda rin po ang function room sa itaas. Dalawang setup po, para sigurado.

   If it rains, the function room upstairs will be ready too. Two setups, to be safe.

   A

   Isa pa po: ayoko pong malaman ng anak ko na pagkakamali ito. Puwede po bang "upgrade" ang itawag ninyo?

   One more thing: I don't want my daughter to know this was a mistake. Could you call it an "upgrade"?

   Line 9
10. 10
    B

    Opo, Sir. Sa harap po ng anak ninyo, upgrade po ito, at ako mismo ang aasikaso sa kaniya.

    Yes, Sir. In front of your daughter, it's an upgrade, and I'll look after her myself.

    Line 10

    A

    Salamat po. Pero sa akin po, pagkakamali pa rin ito; pag-usapan po natin ang kontrata pagkatapos ng kasal.

    Thank you. But to me, it's still a mistake; we'll talk about the contract after the wedding.

    Line 11

    B

    Asahan po ninyo, Sir. Pagkatapos po ng kasal, nandito pa rin po ako.

    Count on it, Sir. After the wedding, I'll still be right here.
