All are equal in the eyes of the law.

Justice is our purpose until the end.

- Only one will.

- One will. One purpose.

- One will. One purpose.

Don't follow the one who solely relies on himself.

One is here to unite with the others.

- Did you tell about it to your mother?

Are you crazy? She'd go furious about it.

- My nape hurts. What a pain. F***.

- It's okay.

You just keep saying "It's okay," when we

just let ourselves in to this madhouse.

Just think of the advantages you'll get when you're a frat member.

You're protected all the way.

How about my scholarship?

Don't think about it. It's going to take a while

before the season ends.

There are also a lot of famous alumnus from AKO.

F***.

- So where are you guys going this time?

- I don't know where Tina's taking me to.

- What time is it, anyway?

- 6:
35.

-6:
35?

- Why?

- It's Mariel.

- You also had plans?

- Yeah, we were supposed to meet at the library a while ago.

- What movie do you want to watch?

- The one with Clint Eastwood.

Oh, pizza. Let's have pizza first. I'm so, like, hungry.

- I don't have enough cash.

- Never mind, I have money.

- Let's not take too long.

- Don't worry. It's still early. You're always in a hurry.

- What the heck? We've been waiting for you.

I'm so sorry.

- Where are you going?

- We're going to Freddie's house.

- Come with us.

- No.

- Come on.

- I can't. We're going to watch a movie after.

What movie?

- The one with Clint Eastwood.

- It's so corny, anyway. Come on.

- You can just come with us.

- He really wants to see it.

- Who is he anyway?

- Oh, him. He's just a friend.

- Want some stock?

- You have some?

- Oh, they say Arni really loves Tina.

- Motherf***er. He didn't say anything like that.

Oops. Dude, look who's coming down the stairs.

What a tough one, dude.

Dude.

Dude, wait a sec.

- Are you one of the AKO?

- Why?

Isn't Arni Enriquez your roommate?

- Yes. Why?

- Just tell him to stop bugging Tina.

- Why? Who the heck are you?

- Her brother. Why? Do you have a problem?

Okay. Piss off.

Monkeying around... The training.

- Are you ready, you monkeys?

- Yes, master.

- Do you already know what you have to do?

- Yes, master.

Show the world that this batch of yours

has something to say.

- Yes, master.

- On your mark.

Get set.

Go.

- Move a bit.

- Move.

Come on. Speed it up.

- Now what?

- What do you mean?

- How are we going to get home?

- No choice but to walk.

Like this?

Nooo, we're just going to wait for a taxi.

- You're so shallow. Where can we get a taxi in such a place like this?

Why? Are taxis not allowed here?

F***er. It's such a drag talking to you.

Don't be too hotheaded, dude.

Don't take him too seriously.

Dude.

- Huh? Where?

- Let's get a ride from them.

- Oh, wait.

- Vince. Dude, it's Vince.

Dude, quick. Quick.

- Go on that side.

- Ouch!

- Dude, who was that?

- Okay, monkeys. Go home.

- That was such a shameful thing, what they asked us to do.

Don't worry. When it's our turn, the neophytes

get to run naked around the quadrangle.

That's worse. More people around, haha.

- What happened to Ding? Why was he left behind?

- I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

He was beside you.

Once I took my polo off, I already went away.

Weren't you the last ones to take your clothes off?

- Yes, he's your buddy.

- Would I think about that when my brief was full of holes?

Hmm just like the feet, hands and the eyes.

- One can't move on his own...

- Wait, wait.

Let's not blame each other.

We can't do anything about it anymore.

You're overreacting.

- He's still alive.

- Dude, so this is how it is in a frat.

Exciting too.

- Exciting?

- If not the beatings, monkeying around.

Is that what's exciting for you? You're really weird.

We looked like fools.

- What are we going to get from this?

- That's what I also don't understand.

I don't know why Vince still hasn't put

an airconditioner on in his basement.

I know, master.

Your batch doesn't have what it takes.

Imagine that, they left you behind.

- They didn't leave me behind. I was just too slow.

- You don't have to answer back.

Oh wow, I feel so sleepy.

- I'm going to get some sleep

- Okay, master.

Too many mosquitoes here.

- It's a good thing Vince has a mosquito net here.

- Yes, master.

Put that down.

Hold this.

Wake me up at 8 in the morning. I have an early class.

Yes, master.

Second Trial... Responsibility

Uh, is this where um, um...

M-Miss Jenny Estrada lives?

I'm Jenny Estrada. Why?

M-Miss Estrada, Gonzales has asked me

to send this bouqet f-for you.

- Oh, so are you Pacoy Ledesma?

- Yes.

Ahh. Come in, come in.

Have some softdrinks.

Gonzales is so crazy.

So this is why he wanted me to stay home tonight.

He's so sweet.

Pretty, isn't it?

You too. You're such a sweetie because you brought me this.

Pacoy, could you do me a favour?

I wanted to send something to Gonzales.

Could you bring it for me?

- Yeah. Okay.

- Ayy!

Thanks, huh. Uh...

Come in for a while. Come on.

Come on, come in.

There. Pretty, isn't it?

- Before I forget, I'll get you your softdrinks.

- Oh, no thanks.

Miss Estrada, the one you want me to send?

Oh yes, right.

Oh, don't worry, I'll give it to you later.

Oh, by the way, what, do you think the roses look good here?

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Maybe it's better if I place them here.

There. Oh, my gosh.

I just love roses.

Then again, not just roses. Just

any kind of flowers, really.

Daisies.

Tulips.

Daffodils.

Chrysanthemums.

And everlastings.

Miss Estrada, the one you want to send to Gonzales.

Let's deal with that later.

Miss Estrada, how about Gonzales?

He doesn't need to know if you're not going to tell.

What?

Are you going to tell?

No.

Take it easy.

I know what's your problem.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I can't breathe.

Pacoy, relax, I'm all yours.

P-P-Pacoy. Wait.

- Pacoy, my pendant, my Santo Nino pendant.

We have a long night ahead of us.

Uh, a long night ahead of us.

- Is this your first time?

- No.

- Oh, tell the truth.

- No

Wait, let me show you something.

What do you think?

Is it okay?

Just like roses.

No, like everlastings.

You keep calling my name, and it's not even in yet.

It's okay. Just put it into yours.

There.

Positions, move forward.

Cut, cut, cut.

What the hell was that? Do you have two left feet?

Sorry, Pearl. I'm just a stand-in here.

That's what I'm talking about. When we're not
