VICTORIA:     (in Spanish)   [And I think B.T. will not be alone while we're in church.]   (to Wallstreet, smiling)   Wallstreet, could you do me a big favor?

EXT/INT. SAN AGUSTIN CHURCH - DAY

We hear the CHURCH CHOIR singing what sounds to be a sentimental Filipino love song. Wallstreet is standing outside the main entrance of the church, holding B.T. by the leash.

The church atmosphere is medieval, making us feel that we are stepping back in time. We see its twisting cavernous interiors and magnificent trompe l'oeil murals covering the walls and the ceiling, highlighting the pineapple-inspired pulpit and the grand pipe organ. At the middle pews, Victoria and her parents are kneeling in prayer.

B.T.:     Wallstreet, you're in a miraculous place. San Agustin church survived Manila's earthquakes, fires, wars, looting, everything thrown into it for the last four hundred years. Not even this world war can destroy it. This will be the last building standing here. Fifty years from now, UNESCO will declare it as a World Heritage site, but today, 1942, it's a site where true love blossoms for you and Victoria. (to us) It's hard to be a writer-director. Somebody should pay me for this.
