It Takes a Man and a Woman Page #3

to make this happen.

Miggy, are you still there'?

Miguel?

Miguel?

Yes, brother.

Where's Laida?

Laida.

- Oh, Miggy. There you are.

- I need to close that deal...

with Empire ASAP.

Oh. Perfect.

I was just about to tell you that...

I already scheduled

a presentation with them...

- so we have two months to work on it.

- No, no.

One month.

- What?

- You only have one month to get MET.

One month?

It's not easy to reschedule

a meeting with them. Hello?!

Oh, what happened to your connections?

Connections that we don't have.

Okay! I'll talk to them again!

That's my girl!

Can we really do it in one month?

Of course! We've done it before, right?

Right, guys?

All right!

How?

Just leave it up to me, girl.

That is our target. To get a "YES".

Guys remember...

We are the ones courting them.

We want to hear them say...

Yes! We are giving you the exclusive

rights to publish MET in the Philippines.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

So what do we need to do

to get their sweet YES?

We buy it.

You mean, you buy the "Yes"

of the one you're courting?

I don't remember getting paid

from you before!

Was I the one who did the courting?

To get their YES,

you have to show them

that you're worthy.

How do we do that?

First...

We have to show them

that we are capable!

I need financial reports of Flippage

and the whole Montenegro Corporation...

to prove that we can afford their ten

thousand dollars monthly license fee...

and we have the financial capacity

to produce the issue.

We have to show Empire

that we are credible!

Hey, Missy-

We need to solicit endorsements

from clients and advertisers...

to prove our credibility

to the bosses of MET.

- You know what? I'm thinking--

- Alright.

I'll tell Belle.

No.

Why not?

She's the Marketing Head, Laida.

I know.

But let me talk to her...

so that you can use your

brain cells for other things...

like thinking of more ways

to prove that we are credible!

Incredible!

What a way to keep him from her.

Great wall of Laida.

We have to get their attention.

Appear irresistible.

Show them something

they've never seen before.

Maning, how are

the maintenance people doing?

It's hot in here!

Water please!

Yeah. It's really hot.

Not cool!

And last but not the least.

Since we are asking for their brand...

we have to prove that

Flippage is trustworthy.

Big word!

I mean, uh, big bird.

Big bird.

Empire is sponsoring

this seminar in New York.

I need your authorization so we can

start processing our budget and bookings.

You can't let an opportunity

like this pass!

Thanks.

Thank you. And may I remind you...

we only have two weeks left

to finish all the work.

Tick took! Tick took! Tick tock!

Andy!

I need that theme soon!

In ti m ate. Sedu oti we.

Sexy. Imagine ladies in...

Ilike it.

No.

This is MET. Not Bachelor.

Can't you give us something sweet?

Th ere. ls that sweet enough ?

No.

Andy, no!

That's too sweet.

Guys, let's play...

hide and seek of feelings.

I'll count...

Hi Laida.

Yeah, hi.

Alone?

No, I'm actually waiting for someone.

This mus! be him!

Hi, baby.

You want to eat elsewhere?

Okay, no problem.

H! be there. Wait for me.

Call waitin'!

These look pretty much the same!

Your pegs for the models are all wrong!

I don't feel anything in the eyes!

Next time, look to the eyes!

We need soul!

The eyes alone should speak to you...

In one look, they'll surely give a yes...

just like Miggy's!

And John Rae's... And Vincent's...

There! Let me see!

There! Work on that!

Let's work on that.

Yes sir?

I'm sorry. I thought your eyes

were calling us.

Just kidding!

Weidro.

Okay. All right, Belle.

I'll wait for you.

Ay!

Close the door.

What?

I said close the door.

Why did you close it?

I thought...

I said... close the door...

when you leave...

I'll just close it instead...

That's it.

That's all I can give you.

Power Women Issue?

Sounds pretentious.

Like we're so conceited.

So you don't like it?!

I'm not saying that I don't like it.

I'm just saying what I think.

Exactly! So you don't think it's okay?!

Fine! It's not!

- There! You finally said it!

- That's what I've been saying!

So do you still want

to have it changed?

Yes!

We don't have time!

Well then, let's find time!

No! I'm taking a stand. I say no!

Andy! You choose! You decide!

Do we stick to this power issue?

Or are we going to come up

with something better?

This is your idea, right Andy?!

Look. Didn't I tell you

that you can do a lot better?

Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

I just want to sleep!!!

Do you know how many hours

I've been awake?!

Freakin' sixty four hours!

My body is now swimming in coffee,

soda, and nicotine!

I just want to rest!

I just want to sleep!

I just want to have sex

with my boyfriend!

The two of you are confusing me!

If you have issues with each other,

please keep me out of it!

I am not going to take sides,

because I want nothing to do

with your drama!

I don't care anymore...

I quit! I resign!

I am going to sleep! Goodbye!

What happens now?

Who's going to be our editor-in-chief?

' NM

' Me!

Okay.

Aha!

Midnight snack?

Stress eating?

Yup. We need something scrumptious.

To make up for all our stress.

Food for the souI!

Let me have some, then.

No!

Because you and Sir Miggy

have been causing all this stress!

- Right.

- So you and Miggy...

are not allowed here for now.

Us? Your stress?

Come on, guys.

Aren't you enjoying the challenge?

No!

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

That's how you guys are!

Con stantly going against each other!

Even we get caught

in your unfinished business!

We get affected by your issues too!

Before...

We had a Laida who...

tamed the Montenegro Devil

when he would be pissed.

When the team would get tired,

there was a Laida who would tell us

that we can do it!

Before, there was someone who would

remind us to believe in goodness!

Before...

Enough! You guys are over reacting!

Before! Before! Before!

That was before!

Things are different now. Okay?

What's the difference?

Come on, guys.

People change.

Nothing stays the same forever.

Change is bound to happen.

Change is just, you know,

a part of life.

Change!!!

Okay. Let's hear it.

Before...

Sir, how close?

After...

I have connections.

Connections that you don't have.

Before...

Pretty.

Afier...

Drug addict...

That's it. That's the theme

we want for our issue.

We want to show

how meaningful metamorphosis is...

Change...

the entire process of it.

We will have to feature someone

who has undergone a big change.

But we only have less than a week

before we leave for New York.

Where can we find a person

who went through that?

- Lamas.

- Lama!

Me?

Why me?

Why not?

Wasn't this your idea?

Laida Magtalas version 2.0!

The cover can go:

"From Marikina to New York".

We can do a feature

ala "New York Diaries."

No, guys. I won't to do it.

Who says "yes"?

Me. Me too.

As editor-in-chief, I say no.

Wait! Are you the only editor here?
