complete, we just keep getting delayed.

Who was supposed to be in your place?

- Arni Enriquez, Ma'am.

- Is he still coming?

- We have no idea, Ma'am.

- You're all shitheads.

Fine, have a break.

Uh, miss, you want me to help you out?

- Have you been for a while now?

- Since 6 o' clock, I think.

We still have a lot of things to do.

- How long is your rehearsal going to take?

- I don't know. We still can't even perfect it.

You're really involved on that one, aren't you?

You're at it again.

Fine, you better go back there.

They might already need you.

Come on, watch our rehearsal

and then we can go out later.

- Let's not.

- What do you mean?

I just don't like frat meetings.

- I feel like there's always going to be some fight.

- You're just prejudiced.

AKO's different.

- Okay, everybody back to work.

- Come on, let's go.

- We don't have much time. Quick!

- Come on.

Why are you missing one? Who's missing?

Lucero!

- What the hell?

- Sorry, dude.

Okay, let's take it from the top.

Your formation a while ago.

If you don't improve, your initiation's going

to even take longer. Len, music.

Oh, what's happening?

How's everything going?

- Is this going to take longer?

- Enteng, do you mind?

Why don't you just sit down and watch? At the rate we're going, we'll never be able to finish.

Len, music.

What's the matter?

- Where's Arni Enriquez?

- Why?

Arni's the one I'm looking for. Where

are you hiding that f***er?

Take it easy, man. Arni's our friend.

We don't want any trouble here.

Dude, I don't have any problems with you.

But Arni does.

When you're against Arni, you're also against us.

Okay, man.

Just tell that motherf***er Arni that if...

he doesn't stop bugging Tina, he's going to pay for it.

That motherf***er.

Happy birthday to you.

You belong to the zoo.

With the monkeys and the donkeys.

And the big kangaroo.

This batch is such a genius. They're pretty okay.

They have production sets.

Who's the art director here?

- Come on, make a speech

- Speech, speech.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Toast, toast.

- Come on, there's not even any beer on our cups.

Brod, take out the champagne.

- Oh, champagne.

- Champagne. Have you tasted one yet?

Tough luck, there's no more champagne.

- What do you have there then?

- One beer, a Budweiser.

- One beer?

- No, that's good enough for us, master.

- Is that enough for all of us?

- It's imported anyway.

There. Get us a mug.

Just leave some for me.

Let's give this all to our future brothers. After all,

they prepared all of this for the party, right, brod?

Sure, why not?

Oh come on, clap, all of you.

You first, okay?

Just pass it along.

- It's only one beer.

- Try to leave some for us, okay?

- Each should have a fair share.

- Ooops.

Don't swallow it.

Spit it out back to the mug.

I said, spit it out back to the mug!

Pass it to Quintos.

Ding Quintos

- Master.

- Why?

Are you disgusted by your batchmate's saliva?

No, master.

Wait, wait.

Our fraternity achieves to...?

- Surpass the levels of our current fellowship.

- Drink then.

Spit it out.

Okay, take a picture of all of them while they drink.

Yes, master.

Power...

..is needed for desires to be fulfilled.

Drink.

Okay, now it's Absentee's turn.

But don't be too assertive because of the power you hold.

- What's next?

- So that we won't wander from the...

from the...

From what!?

That we won't wander from the right path.

Very good, very good.

Drink.

Spit it out.

Professor!

Justice. The oppressed should not be abandoned.

Magtibay.

Master.

All are equal in the eyes of the law.

Justice is our purpose until the end.

- Lucero.

- Unity...

One will, one mind.

Wrong.

One more time.

One will.

One cause.

Very good.

- Let's go back to Swanky.

- Master, I already had my turn.

Poor you, my friend.

You seem like a simpleton.

Don't you feel ashamed towards your batchmates?

- You think you can get away with it just 'cause you're first?

-

How can you get along with the others?

I thought your batch had something to be proud of.

Go ahead. Drink it.

All of it. Every single drop.

Happy birthday to you.

Give him a clap.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday to you.

- Thank you.

Quintos, take a shot of him.

I told you to f***ing take a shot of him!

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, happy birthday.

Happy birthday to you.

They're treating us like pigs.

They're just fooling around with us.

In my whole life, I haven't made such a fool of myself.

- That's really how a frat is.

- Dudes, here's some coffee.

- We all get the same treatment.

- Come on, have some coffee.

How about them?

Motherf***er, what's with the camera!?

I'm going to break that to pieces!

Ding, that's enough.

Pete.

What now?

I'm quitting.

Just be patient, man.

It's just too much.

It's really just too much.

Don't you regret all you've been through?

We've already been through a lot.

And you're only quitting now.

What's going to happen to our batch?

Won't your father feel ashamed of you?

I can't take it anymore.

You just have to relax, kid.

- I'll take care of you. They'll pay for it.

- In what way?

Gonzales is one of my students, right?

- Mr. Gonzales.

- Sir?

As an aspiring economist, what can you

say about the present oil crisis?

- Oil crisis, sir?

- Yes?

- The Arabs, sir.

- What about them?

- Don't they own all the oil?

- Ah-ha!

Wrong answer.

One red mark.

Suppose I tell you that the Arabs don't own all the oil?

That there are other sources of oil.

A lot of the Arabs stopped oil

supply for us and the others didn't.

What do you think will happen

to the textile industry?

- Sir, the Arabs.

- What about them?

Don't we already have oil in Marinduque?

- Wrong again.

- Two red marks.

- See me after class.

- Ding, Ding, take a shot of him.

Hey, wait for me.

You're dozing off.

Sorry, master.

Take it easy, man.

You're taking the job too seriously.

Why? Is it too much, man?

Not really.

Look at this one, for example.

It's pretty bruised.

Leave this arm off for a while.

Ouch!

Yup. It's really bruised.

Oh, where do you think you're going?

You think you're done?

No, master. I thought we were done.

It's a good thing they're letting you have a physical exam.

The other frats don't do this.

Just getting into fights.

Not taking care of themselves. That's why

they havea lot of casualties.

Right?

Right, Doc. Oh, I mean master.

Alright. Lucero's pretty cool.

- He's in pre-med.

- Ahh, so you want to be a doctor too?

- Does it hurt?

- Yes, it does, master.

Don't worry, everything...

...comes to an end.

Just think of our fraternity creed,

and your fears will be all gone.

We won't make you quit.

And not even this. Only you.

Fear, that's what will make you quit.

Do you understand me?

Yes, master.

- See, didn't I tell you everything eventually ends?

- Yes, master.
