“Food” Fight

Gimik, The Reunion is showing on television. I haven’t been paying much attention to it, though once in a while I would glance at our monitors to see how young Diether Ocampo looked like with his crew cut, or how innocent Mylene Dizon was back then, or how not much has changed with Jolina Magdangal through the years.

But one scene caught our attention because of a line from the dialogue. The set-up: Diet and G Toengi are sweethearts who suddenly discovered that she cannot bear children. The two are helping out in the restaurant owned by the late Rico Yan (looking fresh and oh-so-delectable). Diet enters the kitchen to follow up an order. G Toengi and Mylene are in the kitchen, trying to cope up with the deluge of food orders.

(The following dialogue is not verbatim, but it’s close. I think.)

Diet: O, bakit kilawin yan? Nasaan na yung sisig? Kanina pa naghihintay yung customer!
G: Teka, teka, sisig ba? Eh nakikita mo na ngang natataranta ako eh!
Diet (blowing his top): Ang problema sa iyo, hindi mo na nga maayos-ayos ang mga order ng cutomers, hindi ka pa magka-anak! (A pause as Diet realizes his mistake.) Ay, sorry. It just slipped out.

(Diet walks off. G Toengi follows and grabs his arm.)

G: “It just slipped out”?! Sa gitna ng kilawin at sisig, “it just slipped out”?!

A-hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
