Babe, walong libo lang, may sariling CR pa. Pipirma na ako, ha?
Babe, it's only eight thousand, and it has its own bathroom. I'm signing, okay?

B
Sandali. Ano 'yung guhit sa pader, mga isang metro mula sa sahig?
Wait. What's that line on the wall, about a meter off the floor?
-
A
Ah, 'yan? Baka mantsa lang 'yan.
Oh, that? It's probably just a stain.

B
Tatalon 'to, Jonas. Kung sakaling bumaha ulit hanggang baywang, saan natin ilalagay ang ref at ang motor mo?
This is Tatalon, Jonas. If it ever floods waist-deep again, where would we put the fridge and your motorcycle?

A
Sa totoo lang, hindi ko natanong sa may-ari kung binabaha rito.
Honestly, I never asked the owner if it floods here.

B
Tawagan natin siya ngayon. Kung magsinungaling man siya, nandiyan pa rin ang guhit.
Let's call him now. Even if he lies, the line's still right there.
