A
O, Riza, ubos na naman ang danggit mo? Ang bilis naman!
Well, Riza, sold out of danggit again? That was fast!
-
B
Opo. Sampung kilo na po ang kukunin ko, basta may discount.
Yes. I'll take ten kilos this time, as long as there's a discount.
-
A
Sampung kilo? Tapos babayaran mo ako 'pag nagbayad na ang mga customer mo?
Ten kilos? And then you'll pay me once your customers have paid you?
-
B
Kahit mas mahal po kayo, sa inyo pa rin ako kukuha.
Even though you're pricier, I'll keep buying from you.
-
A
Binobola mo na naman ako. Sige, babawasan ko, basta cash ngayon din.
You're sweet-talking me again. Fine, I'll take a little off, but cash, right now.

B
Ay, wala na po akong lusot. Cash na po, Mang Teban.
Oh, no way out of this one. Cash it is, Mang Teban.
