Quarantine #18
[372A High Street:]
Arthur: ...
Arthur: So you ordered live chicken online...?
Lance: (proudly) I did.
Arthur: And someone actually sold you one?
Lance: They did.
Arthur: (to Futhark) You let him order live chicken online?
Futhark: Nahiwagaan po ako sa kayang gawin ng internet at natuwa po ako na kaya na pong umorder ng manok online.
Lance: Relax, it's just online shopping. What could go wrong?
Doorbell dings.
Lance: And it's fast, see? I bet that's our order.
Arthur: (rolls his eyes and follows Lance to the doorway)
Excalibur: Kayo po ba 'yung umorder ng—ohhh Sir Ducere, Sir Lukas! Magkasama po pala kayo ngayon—bakit magkasama po kayo ngayon at bakit po kayo bumili ng buhay na manok—
Lance: ... Why are you selling chickens online?
Excalibur: Family business po? At saka pagala-gala lang naman itong mga 'to malapit dito.
Lance: Is one of those chickens perhaps... Ferdinand?
Excalibur: Yata? Hindi ko alam sir, may batang naglagay ng nametag sa kanila pero inalis ko rin.
Lance: Do you own those chickens?
Excalibur: Opo. May bukid po kami.
A chicken flies from Excalibur's cart and lands on Arthur's head.
Arthur: (stands perfectly still so the chicken doesn't leave his head)
Arthur: This chicken has been on my head for 3 seconds but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this house and then myself.
Lance: Wala ka bang ibang manok na binebenta, Excalibur?
Excalibur: Ano po bang gagawin n'yo sa manok, mga sir... at sinu-sino po kayo sa bahay na 'to?
Lance: Bakit, taga-DSWD ka? Nagsu-survey ka ng mga pamilya?
Excalibur: Nagtataka lang sir, grabe.
Futhark: (comes out) May problema po ba sa—oh.
Excalibur: Nandito ka rin?
Futhark: (slowly backs off and hides behind a plant) (whispers) Sir Lance secret po ba na nandito kami?
Lance: Tingin mo hindi ka kita kapag nagtago ka r'yan?!
Excalibur: May party nga kayo?
Arthur: (is still not moving for the chicken's sake)
Lance: We're not throwing a party!
Futhark: Sabi n'yo sir magce-celebrate tayo ng birthday ni Joyeuse?
Lance:
Lance: Futhark why don't you go and grab Arthur's oreos from my closet?
Futhark: Okay po. (leaves)
Excalibur: Bakit may oreos po si Sir Lukas sa cabinet n'yo, sir?
Lance: Bakit ang dami mong tanong?
Excalibur: Babayaran n'yo po ba 'yung manok sa ulo ni Sir Lukas?
Lance: Of course not, we're not buying i—
Arthur: He's buying it.
Lance: I'm buying it.
After a few minutes of transaction with Excalibur...
[Living Room:]
Lance: How long are you going to let that chicken boss you around?
Arthur: (sits comfortably inside a pillow fort, with the chicken still on his head)
Arthur: Forever.
Lance: (sighs, defeated)
Doorbell dings.
Lance: I think that's the cake.
Arthur: Mm-hmm.
Lance: Are you not opening the door with me?
Arthur: Nope.
Lance: (stomps his way to the gates)
Macey: Hi sir! Dito ka po pala nakatira?
Lance: You're selling cake?
Lance: (internally: "I dodged a bullet!")
Macey: Family business po.
Lance: I see. Now let me pay you before something goes terribly wrong.
Macey: Uhm, 300 pesos po para sa cake.
Lance: Okay.
Macey: Sino pong may birthday, sir?
Lance: Please don't ask questions.
Macey: Yiiee para sa girlfriend n'yo 'yan, ano sir?
Lance: No it's not.
Arthur: (with the chicken still on his head) Lance you forgot your wallet on the—(sees Macey)—oh.
Arthur: (hides his face with the chicken)
Arthur: Sir Ducere your wallet, catch! (hurls wallet towards Lance and runs back inside)
Macey:
Macey: Hala sir dapat sinabi n'yo, may iba pa po kaming cake don, 'yung shape heart.
Lance: You got the wrong idea.
Macey: Yiiee okay lang po sir, mahal ka pa rin namin.
Lance: I said you got the wrong idea.
Macey: Aseees.
Lance: Do you want to be paid or not?
Macey: Gusto po! Eto na po ang cake n'yo, byyeeee Sir Lance!
[Living Room:]
Lance: I have a feeling Zweihänder will know about us soon.
Arthur: (phone rings)
Arthur: Zweihänder texted.
Lance: Your journalists are quite scary, Sir Lukas.
Arthur: I know. Meanwhile, your "future of law enforcement" are fighting in the armoury and one of them is still looking for oreos in your closet.
Lance: It's not a competition.
Arthur: I know.
Arthur: But I'm winning.
Lance: You have a chicken on your head.
Arthur: And you have none. I win again.
Lance: (rolls his eyes and checks the cake) Oh no.
Arthur: What is it?
Lance: The cake says "Happy Birthday Juliet" instead of "Happy Birthday Jule".
Arthur: ... Is it because of Taylor Swift?
Lance: My phone's autocorrect thought I'm still talking about Juliet.
Arthur:
Arthur: Nice.
Futhark: Sir nakita ko na po 'yung oreos.
Lance: You actually found one?
Arthur: Give me those.
Futhark: Nagawa ko na rin po 'yung salad at coffee jelly, pinapalamig na lang po sa ref.
Arthur: And I'm done with the mashed potato. All that's left to do is the chicken, Lance.
Lance: (picks up phone) I'll order one again.
Futhark: Paano po 'yang nasa ulo ni Sir Arthur?
Arthur:
Lance: FUTHARK PLEASE DON'T ASK.
Arthur:
Futhark: Pwede po bang maglinis na lang din ako? Parang kanina pa po ako hot seat.
Lance: Yes, you may clean with the others.
Futhark: Sigurado po bang kaya n'yo na rito?
Lance: No, please stay here.
Arthur: You can order roasted chicken online.
Lance: But they don't taste like the ones I usually make.
Arthur: Are you really going this far for Uresonderry?
Lance: ...
Lance: I forgot we're getting roasted chicken for Jule's birthday.
Futhark: So... So naging desperado lang po kayong magluto ng manok dahil sinabi ni Sir Arthur?
Lance: Oh shut up you'll do the same for Alice.
Futhark: Sir why—
Arthur: You don't have to give me everything I ask, you know.
Lance: Really, are you going to let me cook that chicken on your head?
Arthur: (protects chicken) No if you touched Gullin I'm breaking up with you.
Lance: You named the chicken?
Futhark: Sir pwede naman po yata nating timplahan nang ayos 'yung mga manok sa ref, kahit na hindi sila buo.
Lance: But it's not the same.
Arthur: It's the same.
Lance: Really?
Arthur: You made it. Of course I'd like it all the same.
Lance:
Lance: Futhark, please clean weapons with your brothers in the armoury for a while.
Futhark: Nope, magluto na po kayo sir, anong oras na.
Lance: Worth the shot. Let's go.
