Status: It's Complicated Page #5

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.

- Kuya, wait for me.

- Manny!

Ate, wait for me.

Can you hold this?

- Kuya, wait for me! Ouch! Ouch!

- Faster, faster!

Manny?

He's such an a**hole!

Manuel?!

Manny?!

Manny?!

Manuel?!

Manuel!

- Ouch!

- Sorry.

Next time, watch my way!

You're such a snob!

Why would I be nice to you?!

I don't even know you! Whatever!

So are you!

- Where? Where?

- There! There!

Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!

Manuel!

Manuel!

Where the hell are you?!

Once I see you,

I will definitely kill you!

I'll assure you even your mom

won't ever recognize you!

Manuel!

Manuel!

- Manuel!

- Hurry! Hurry!

- Manuel!

- Hurry!

I thought you're already a grown up.

And yet that's your ambition.

My ambition is to be a chickboy,

just like kuya Manny!

Before you become a chickboy, open the

door first. Maybe it's one of your chicks.

Good evening.

Kuya Jerry, you have a visitor!

- How did you know?

- Because she's old!

Silly boy! That's what you get from Manny.

Hey!

Hello!

Marian! What a pleasant surprise!

Sorry about my brother.

He's really kind of weird.

He's not used to beautiful ladies.

That's fine. I'm also fond of kids

especially the quiet ones.

Dennis, say hello to Marian.

Hello, granny!

Cute kid!

Go upstairs and watch Ben Ten.

- It's not up yetl.

- Bugs Bunny, Scooby D00!

I don't like those!

Phineas and Ferb is on Disney Channel.

Go! Jump!

- Go ahead! Scoot! Scoot! Scoot!

- Alright!

Is this the job?

Where did you find this?

At the city hall's garage?

I'm wondering myself.

I've come to compile too many trash already.

The legacy of five years of

research and studies of sex.

- So this is your place! How charming!

- Thank you.

Do you live here with somebody

besides Dennis, the menace?

Yes. I have a atmate.

- Why don't you sit down?

- May I?

Thank you.

I have a flatmate but he's not here.

He's rolling out.

What I meant was he's looking

for something to work on!

I mean work.

Can I offer you something to drink?

Iced tea, sofdrinks perhaps

They say softdrinks damage teeth.

Double brandy's fine.

It even gives you confidence!

Do you still need that?

A double brandy?

0h yeah!

And confidence?

Oh yes.

You know, when you reach a certain age,

you badly need it!

Thank you.

You're not in your 30's yet?

Thank you.

Actually, a little higher than that.

That's not important anyway.

A person's age is never important.

A person's age isn't important.

What's important is the character,

personality, vibes, as they say,

aura, so to speak.

Like you! You're young but

you look mature and responsible.

As for me, biologically, I'm thirty three.

Intellectually, I'm sixty.

And I hope I look eighteen.

You look eighteen!

Sixteen even!

I don't think so.

No one would believe that.

Oh, what a charming man!

Anyway, to go on,

they say youth are

being wasted among the young.

I think the perfect combination

of personality is

intellectually matured

with a youthful image.

Yes?

Just like you?

Thank you.

Oh My God. I've been yakking here by myself!

Let's talk about you now.

What do you think of my position?

Oh! I mean, my opinion.

Oh I respect your opinion.

And I love your position.

Is this normal in this house?

Flattery. Flattery. Flattery.

Don't spoil me. I might get

used to it and seek out for it.

Well, it's not only about

flattery, attery, attery,

but truth, truth, truth.

Oh, you guys!

When you see women,

you tend to sweet-talk them.

Until, the woman falls in love

it just has something to do with the male egg.

Oh! I mean the male ego!

And when the woman falls,

what's the first thing you do?

Leave her and look for someone else.

You always seek new conquest.

Otherwise, you feel like

you're not a real man.

- Not all of us.

- All of you!

I studied that from my research.

And women feel challenged.

When she gets hold of a guy,

she'll never let him get away.

That's why I choose to be different!

You like me now,

I like you now, fine!

You don't like me tomorrow,

I don't like you tomorrow, fine!

Why let two rocks hit each other when

they're bound to scratch themselves?

What's the reason?

Yeah, what's the reason?

Anyway.

Back to my research.

The theme I would like for the

artwork is something like this.

The book is about survey and sex, right?

The sexual habits of the Filipinos.

But I don't want a sexy design.

I only want it tantalizing.

Like you?

Thank you.

Don't push yourselves!

Stop it!

Okay! This is what happened.

Dennis, the kid, took a jigsaw puzzle,

forgive him because he's

somewhat a kleptomaniac.

Security guards went after him.

He was brought to the manager's office.

I talked to him. And when we went out,

you guys are gone.

You really had to use the kid, huh.

And you turned him into a kleptomaniac!

Please! When will you ever tell the truth!

I'm telling the truth!

You're telling the truth?! I was there!

I saw you running and hiding

when you saw me saw you with someone else!

And don't dare tell me you were with Dennis!

You were with another girl

when you saw me saw you!

- It's crazy!

- So crazy!

That's the reason why

I don't tell the truth.

I don't have time for people

who don't tell the truth.

Even good looking ones?

Don't you have other investment

other than your good looks?

That's why I don't tell the truth!

Because I'll get in trouble.

Why would I let myself in a

situation where I'd get in trouble

if I can slip myself through it?

- You can't slip through anything all the time!

- Oh?

What do you mean 'Oh'?

Nothing. Just oh.

You know what? If you get through

other girls with your charms and sparkle,

-for me, never.

- See?

You're not telling the truth anymore.

I beg your pardon.

Admit it! When you see me,

your knees are trembling!

Oh! When I see you,

I want to go back to convent!

But you can't resist me

because I'm irresistible.

Your arrogance has no fund!

But this.

You know, you talk like you're

the only one who has good looks!

I'm also pretty!

But I don't use my beauty

to take advantage of people!

As for you, overused.

A child of God!

Mr. Roxas, when will you ever change?

Why are you girls like that?

When you like a guy, you want to trap him.

The first thing you want to do is change him.

If you want to change the guy, why did you

come to like him in the first place?

It doesn't make sense, does it?

If you like a person,

you like him for the way he is.

Not for the person he's going to become!

Women have become like this

because of guys like you!

Because you guys are

sweet-talkers of the first order!

You're only like that in the beginning!

You're respectful, gentleman,

kind, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

And when you finally got the girl,

you suddenly change.

You tend to forget your responsibility!

Play around left and right!

You text whoever you want!

Make friends on Facebook!

Following people on Twitter!

What do you really want?!

For keeps? Or maybe for

keps (slang term for female genitalia)!
