1. 1
   A

   Eric, bago magsimula ang bulungan, ikaw na ang una kong pinuntahan. Tungkol 'to sa utang ko.

   Eric, I came to you first, before the whisper auction starts. It's about my debt.

   Line 1
2. 2
   B

   Alam ko. Walong daang libo na, Carding: krudo at yelo ng tatlong buwang halos walang huli.

   I know. It's eight hundred thousand now, Carding: fuel and ice for three months of almost no catch.

   Line 2
3. 3
   A

   Burahin mo ang kalahati. Ang matitira, babayaran ko pagkatapos ng habagat.

   Write off half. I'll pay the rest after the monsoon.

   Line 3
4. 4
   B

   Kalahati? May pinagkakautangan din ako, Carding. Kapag binura ko 'yan, sino'ng magbubura ng utang ko?

   Half? I have creditors too, Carding. If I write that off, who's going to write off mine?

   Line 4
5. 5
   A

   Hindi ako humihingi ng limos, humihingi ako ng panahon. Dalawampung taon, sa iyo ko lang idinaan ang huli ko.

   I'm not asking for charity, I'm asking for time. Twenty years, and I've sold my catch through nobody but you.

   Line 5
6. 6
   B

   At dalawampung taon din kitang inabonohan. May presyo rin ang panahon; tanungin mo ang bangko ko.

   And for twenty years I've fronted you the money. Time has a price too; ask my bank.

   Line 6
7. 7
   A

   Kung hindi tayo magkasundo, alam ko kung kanino mapupunta ang mga bangka ko. Pero tandaan mo, Eric, kapag nawala ang mga bangka ko...

   If we can't agree, I know who ends up with my boats. But remember this, Eric, if I lose my boats...

   Line 7
8. 8
   B

   Ano, Carding? Ituloy mo.

   What, Carding? Go on, finish it.

   Line 8
9. 9
   A

   Labindalawang tripulante ang sakay ng mga 'yan. Kilala mo ang mga anak nila; inaanak mo pa nga ang dalawa.

   Twelve crewmen work those boats. You know their kids; two of them are your godchildren.

   Line 9
10. 10
    B

    Ganito: walang bawas sa puhunan, pero aalisin ko ang patubo, at dalawang taon ang hulugan. Pero kapag pumalya ka pa...

    Here's the deal: nothing comes off the principal, but I'll drop the interest, and you pay it off over two years. But if you miss again...

    Line 10
11. 11
    A

    Alam ko ang kasunod, hindi mo na kailangang sabihin. At kapag isa pang habagat na walang huli...

    I know what comes next, you don't have to say it. And if there's another monsoon with no catch...

    Line 11
12. 12
    B

    E 'di pareho tayong lulubog, kaya pareho rin tayong magdadasal. Tara, kape muna; dumaong na ang Lady Linda mo.

    Then we both go under, so we'll both be praying. Come on, coffee first; your Lady Linda just docked.
