Status: It's Complicated Page #10

Synopsis: Manny and Jerry have been best buddies and housemates for a long time. Manny believes that love, just like sex, should be shared with as many partners as possible. On the other hand, Jerry thinks that he should wait it out for that special someone. They decide to swap lifestyles just to prove whose theory is right.

- No.

Why do we need to understand men?

Do men understand us, women? Tell me.

Do parents understand their children?

Do children understand their parents?

Do we understand anything in life?

None!

I have none! I'm almost 30 but I still

haven't understood anything in life.

Oh, well! As for me, I'm not going to

wait for myself to understand Manny.

When Manny wakes up,

I'll ask him to go straight to the altar.

For me? I don't want to get tied up yet!

You mean, you're not jealous of Jerry.

Not yet.

But soon, you will.

And once you become jealous,

your problem will be solved!

You fall in love and you become old.

Wow! How exciting!

So, what's the score?

Me? Zero. You?

With Rina?

Just the same.

That girl loves you so much, man.

So do I. I love her so much.

Remember that, Manuel!

- Remember that.

- Yes, I will!

Do you think I'm corny?

The corniest of all!

Corny's okay. I'm happy enough!

Good for you.

Bro, I'll visit you from time to time.

You're so corny. You're now leaving me.

It's because you're not my type.

You're a playboy.

You're not even a meztiso!

You look arrogant!

A**hole! If we didn't switch our lifestyles,

you wouldn't find a decent chick!

True.

But Rina's awesome. Why?

When she saw Marian,

she said, she's not a chick, she's a hen!

She harassed the old one!

Oh! Women!

I feel depressed.

I feel so depressed.

- Bro, I told you, come with us on our honeymoon!

- Oh, please!

Let me ask you this,

when will you become a decent man?

Well...

Let's see.

A**hole!

Ready.

Is it okay?

- Oh, come on, darling. Let's go!

- Slowly!

- You might fall.

- Ma'am, smile!

Jerry!

Perfect timing!

I'm getting married! Isn't it obvious?

I didn't send you an invitation.

You might create a scandal at the church.

I want to save you from embarrassment.

Anyway, who would have thought,

do you still remember Martin?

The ugly one I introduced to you before?

He's the lucky groom and

I'm the blushing bride!

Uncle Landing, take the Fonuner.

The Grandia will be used by the bridesmaids.

Okay-

Where's my bouquet?

Where's my bouquet?

Thank you!

Life is so funny, isn't it?

You know, Martin courted me for so long,

but I don't give him much attention

because he's ugly.

Then he proposed a marriage,

I said 'Let's go!'.

My God, would I dilly-daily

when I'm almost 31!

Clara, have you called Martin?

- Yes.

- Did he leave the house already?

- Yes.

- He's now in the church?

- Yes.

- Oh, good, good, good!

Now, where was I?

Dilly-daily.

Oh yes, dilly-daily.

Anyway, you know how it is!

You know us, women.

When I was 16, I told myself I want to

marry a guy who is tall, handsome,

good kisser, rich and kind.

Then, when I'm 21, I said, even the

one who's not tall but handsome,

good kisser, rich and kind.

Then of course, when I turned 25,

I said, even he's not tall

or handsome but etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Now, that I'm 29, a kind man is enough for me!

Ma'am.

Marian, let's go.

Wait a minute. Two minutes.

And Martin loves me.

In the final analysis,

that's what's important. Right?

After all, it's definitely right for a man to

love a woman much more than how woman does.

Oh, My God, Jerry. I'm getting late!

My boyfriend might run away from me!

And this is my last chance.

You know how it is!

Just follow us at San Agustin church.

The reception will be at Sofitel.

I'll see you there.

Don't cry, okay? I know your heart bleeds.

Oh, My God! Finally, I'll be able

to maximize my research about sex!

- I'll see you there.

- See you.

Let's go.

You may now kiss the bride.

They suit each other.

You're next!

- Thank you.

- You even kissed her.

Take care, okay?

- Take care.

- Of course.

Bye.

Take it slow with your chicks!

You'll be staying with mom again, okay?

Back to boring.

I saw you earlier talking with the ower girl.

What's her name?

Kyla.

I'm just applying what I learned

from you and kuya Manny.

I just need the basics!

How about you, kuya Jerry?

When will you get married?

Get married? I don't know.

Maybe when I meet the girl I love.

So I'll be your ring bearer too.

Then we'll ask Kyla to be the ower girl!

There it is! You just want to see Kyla again!

You should've taken her number.

Of course, I took her number right away.

That's my boy!

Yeah!

Jerry. Jerry.

She's leaving on a jet plane.

What? What are you talking about?

It's Sylvia, the first girl

to be bitten by a snake in Tarlac.

Sylvia, the first girl to wade

in the mud at three in the morning.

Sylvia, she's leaving the

pearl of the orient seas.

Wait, where will she go?

In New York.

Not the New York here,

but the New York in America.

I think she likes to become

like Sarah Jessica Parker.

Maybe she wants to be one of the

cast of Sex and the City 3, 4, 5!

That's life, right?

Like cycles.

Try to ride a tricycle.

You know what, I can't understand you.

Is this because of Marian? Or me?

Because of Marian, because of

you, because of me.

I'm sure it's not because of me.

I thought I can do it but I can't.

If you can, I can do it too.

As I am liberated and independent,

turned out, it's not enough.

What you said was true,

I've become jealous, possessive.

I can't take it that you're now a playboy.

You're lucky he's a boy, others out there are gay!

Hey! Quiet!

So?

If we'll just clash,

it's better to take a vacation from us.

Good. I'll take care of him.

I don't want to force you to change yourself,

its unfair to you.

But in the same manner, I don't want you

to force me to change.

If we'll both change then it's fine.

But if not, let it be.

Hopefully, when I arrived in New York,

I won't be like this anymore and

SO are you.

As for me, I'll stay forever young.

Just like you and Manny, you changed your

lives. You switched your lifestyles.

But it happened on its own.

No one forced you.

I want that to happen to us.

I'm left by you, left despaired.

I'm left by you, left despaired. Ouch.

+m

- Hi.

So, you're the one

Amanda and Bea are referring to.

Amanda and Bea?

Amanda and Bea? They used to live here before.

By the way, I'm Jerry.

Charlene.

I thought your name is Manny.

My full name is

Gerardo Manuel Sergio Julius lzon IV.

Wow. That's long.

Well, I guess you're still the same old

playboy they used to talk about.

Where did they move?

In Antipolo.

But don't worry,

they asked me to look after you.

You really are cute.

So, you want to go for a swim?

Sure.

There's wine on your lips.

I can't remove it.

Now, it's my fault (stutters")

you got caught in the kitchen?!

You know Jerry -

Oh, Manny, Manny.

One more.

Here it comes, boom!

What is it? Sorry, I forgot my lines. Sorry.

I saw you running and hiding

when you - (stutters)

I've been trying to tell you

but you don't -- (stutters")

One more.

You're dragging me again into your filthy life!

Sorry!

Women have become like this

because of guys like -- There.

It's different when it's close up.

I dare you, if it rains,
