   Pasok ka, iha, huwag ka nang magtanggal ng sapatos. Gigibain din naman ang sahig.

   Come in, iha, don't bother with your shoes. The floor's getting torn down anyway.

   Diretsahan na po tayo, Aling Charing: ito na po ang huling alok, at sa Biyernes na po ang taning.

   Let's be frank, Aling Charing: this is the final offer, and the deadline is Friday.

   A

   Pipirma ako sa isang kondisyon: akin ang pinto sa harap, isasama ko saanman ako lumipat.

   I'll sign on one condition: the front door stays mine, and it comes with me wherever I move.

   Line 3

   B

   Kasama po ang pinto sa binabayarang istruktura, at wala pong ganiyang kondisyon sa form.

   The door is part of the structure we're paying for, and there's no condition like that on the form.

   A

   Basahin mo muna ang nakaukit sa itaas bago mo sabihing walang puwang iyan sa form mo.

   First read what's carved across the top, before you tell me there's no room for it on your form.

   B

   "Pintong inukit ko, sa iyo bubukas, gaya ng pag-ibig kong tapat at wagas." Asawa po ba ninyo ang umukit?

   "This door I carved will open for you, like my love, which is faithful and true." Did your husband carve it?

   Si Badong. Siyam na taon na siyang wala, pero iyan pa rin ang sumasalubong sa akin.

   Badong did. He's been gone nine years, but that door still welcomes me home.

   Line 7

   B

   Ayaw ko po kayong takutin, pero kapag walang pirma sa Biyernes, sa korte na po ito, at baka abutin ng taon ang bayad.

   I don't want to frighten you, but if there's no signature by Friday, this goes to court, and the payment could take years.

   Line 8

   A

   Gabi-gabi ko siyang hinintay sa pintong iyan. Kaya ko pang maghintay nang ilang taon sa korte.

   Every night I waited for him at that door. I can wait a few more years in court.

    B

    Hindi ko po maipapangako ang wala sa kamay ko, pero isusulat ko po iyan sa remarks.

    I can't promise what isn't in my hands, but I'll write it in the remarks.

    Akin na ang ballpen. Sabi nga ni Badong, sa akin bubukas ang pintong iyan, hindi sa tren.

    Hand me the pen. As Badong said, that door opens for me, not for the train.

    B

    Heto po. At kapag nagtanong po ang boss ko, ipababasa ko po sa kaniya ang tula.

    Here you go. And if my boss asks about it, I'll have them read the poem.
