A
Sabi ko na nga ba! Dalawandaang episode, tapos kasal din sa simbahan.
I knew it! Two hundred episodes, and it still ends in a church wedding.
-
B
E ano naman? Sa hinaba-haba man ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy.
So what? However long the procession, it always ends up at the church.
-
A
Literal na sa simbahan nga ang tuloy, ha? Akala ko may twist man lang sa dulo.
And it literally ended at the church, huh? I thought there'd at least be a twist at the end.

B
Ang dami nilang pinagdaanan: amnesia, kontrabidang biyenan, nagkapalit na sanggol. Alam naman nating sila talaga sa huli.
They went through so much: amnesia, an evil mother-in-law, babies switched at birth. We all knew they'd end up together.

A
Iyon na nga, e. Unang linggo pa lang, nahulaan ko na.
That's just it. I'd guessed it by the first week.
-
B
E bakit hindi ka pumalya kahit isang gabi? Ikaw pa nga ang nagpapaalala sa akin.
Then why didn't you miss a single night? You were even the one reminding me.
-
A
Sige, aaminin ko na. Pinapayagan lang ako ng papa mong tumambay rito habang may teleserye.
Fine, I'll admit it. Your dad only lets me hang out here while the teleserye is on.

B
Kaya pala ang lungkot mo! Relax, ang susunod daw, tatlong daang episode.
So that's why you look so sad! Relax, they say the next one runs three hundred episodes.
