1 INT. HOSPITAL | ICU DAY Young Girls Voice: Naranasan mo na bang managinip? Sabi nila pag namatay ka sa panaginip, magigising ka

A girl wearing a hospital gown is standing beside the hospital bed. Her hair is covering her face. She walks towards the door.
Page 2 of 79

As she walks further, the i.v. tube attached to her arm pulls down the i.v. stand, making it fall. She disregards it and continues walking, dragging the fallen i.v. stand on the ground. Her arm where the needle from the i.v. tube is attached starts to bleed. The needle eventually falls off, tearing a small part of her skin. She doesnt seem to feel any pain. She exits the door.

2 INT. HOSPITAL | HALLWAYS DAY We see the hallways from the blurry POV of the girl. She sees a couple of nurses ahead. She uses the nearby fire exit to prevent the nurses from seeing her out of bed.

Young Girls Voice: Tumatakbo ka. Tapos madadapa. Maaabutan ka nang humahabol sayo. Pero bago ka niya patayin o saktan, magigising kang bigla.

3 EXT. HOSPITAL | ROOFTOP DAY We see the sky.

Young Girls Voice: Minsan naman para kang nahuhulog. Sobrang taas. Sobrang bilis. Pero bago dumikit ung aspalto sa balat mo, bigla kang mumulat. Mumulat habang hinihingal. Hinihingal habang

pinag papawisan. Pinag papawisan habang nakatulala. Nakatulala(slightly laughs, sarcastic.)

The camera tilts down from the shot of the sky revealing the same girl.

Young Girls Voice: Siyempre, gusto mo lang gumising mula sa isang bangungotang problema lang, pano ka nakakasiguro na natutulog ka?

The camera tilts down further then we see the bottom of the ledge where the girl is standing. She freefalls in slow motion to the ground as the screen slowly fades to black before she hits the ground.

1 EXT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Liv stares at the camera, blank eyes, smiling faintly. A ceiling fan falls in front of her after a sound of a gunshot. Spit in slow motion is flying towards her face. Her mother and younger sister are watching a koreanobela in the background both
Page 4 of 79

slouching on the sofa. At the far end of the sofa, her younger brother is masturbating while using his big math textbook as cover. We see Liv's father holding a gun (a Walther PPK), waving it like crazy, shouting like hell, and is in a psychotic break. Everything is in slow motion

Liv's Dad (NO SOUND): "Putanginamo ka, papatayin kita! Tarantado gusto mong mabaril?! Tangina ka!"

Liv V.O.: "My dad. My sweet sweet dad. Namatay phone ko. Strike ang mga bus so late na ako naka uwi. Nagalit siya kasi sobrang nagaalala siya sakin. Di kasi ako nakapagtext. Plus I didnt make my 3pm curfew on time. I'm 19, its 8pm, and daddy dearest tried to shoot mewith a pistol from the James Bond movies. Bakit? Becausewellcoz he cares. Punyeta."

We see Liv again, staring at the camera. Picture frames on a table behind her shattering one by one from a few more gunshots. We see a picture of Liv with a bullet hole on her head. Liv's dad pokes her in the head repeatedly with the recently fired gun and leaves a slight burn mark on her head. Liv doesn't change her expression. The housemaid carrying a tray with a pitcher of Coke and glasses for the mom and sister passes behind them.
Page 5 of 79

Another gunshot is fired. The housemaid falls to the ground, dead. The pitcher and glasses went flying, falls on Liv's brother who is masturbating at the moment. Glass shatters on his penis hidden behind a book. He stands up and blood flows to his legs. He points his finger to the dead maid while kicking its dead body and still using his math textbook to cover his bleeding manhood.

Liv's Brother (NO SOUND): "Putangina mo kang hampas lupa ka! Gago! Mamatay ka!"

We see Liv's dad again in his glorious psychotic break in slow motion. Liv's mom and sister are still watching the koreanobela and do not give a damn on what's happening. Her brother is still kicking the maid. Liv is still staring at the camera, blank eyes, smiling faintly.

2 INT. COMMON RESTROOM DAY Liv and Cieca are sitting on the toilet, cubicles next to each other.

Cieca: Seryoso lang, ha? Tissue.

Page 6 of 79

Liv throws a roll of tissue over the cubicle. Cieca catches it.

Liv: One thing you must know about me dear is, I dont MAKE UP shit while TAKING a shit.

Cieca: I know you wouldnt lie to me, I just cant imaginealam mo yun?

Liv: Gago, totoo yun. Lalo na pag nagdadrive.

2A INT. CAR DAY Livs dad is driving, twisted smile, and is in another psychotic break. Hes hitting the car horn like crazy. Livs mother is on the passenger seat trying to calm her husband. Livs dad punches her mother, floors the pedal and let go of the steering wheel, laughing like crazy. Liv and her siblings are sitting at the back seat, unusually calm as if the event is routinely. Her brother wearing a headphone is listening to heavy metal music and is head banging and rocking and rolling. Her sister is texting.

Livs Dad: (to his wife) Putanginamo ka! Kung nag kwekwento ka ng masaya e di sana yan aabutin mo! Anong pake ko jan sa
Page 7 of 79

kabobohang yan?! Hirap sa inyo napaka negatibo niyo mag isip! Kelangan laging masaya ang pamilya natin! (honks the horn again habang dinuduro yung ibang mga motorist)Sumabay pa sa mga putanginang to!! Buti pa ilaglag ko na lang tong kotse sa bangin ng matapos na! Ano?? Tangina mo ka!!!!! Dalawampung taon tanga ka parin! Stupida!

Everybody is silent while Livs dad is asking his family to talk about all things bright and beautiful while punching and slapping his wife and badmouthing everyone in the car, hitting the horn nonstop.

Livs Dad: (imitating the sound of an engine) Broooom!!!! Eeeeeeeengggg!! Woooooooh!!!!!!

A bird slams at the windshield.

2B INT. COMMON RESTROOM DAY Liv talks to the camera, supporting her chin with her hand, staring upwards, wondering, reminiscing.

Page 8 of 79

Liv: Pero may mga times na sobrang bait niya. Nag eexert siya ng effort to be close, talking about things you like. Naalala ko one time

2C INT. LIVS HOUSE DAY Liv is cleaning the camera and lenses she borrowed from Cieca. Livs dad approaches her, trying to be close and friendly. Hes also carrying a camera.

Livs Dad: Ang 50mm na lens pala naka zoom ano? Yung 100mm naka wide kasi 100% view coverage. Yung 50mm 50% lang.

Liv: Hindi. Pagbaba ng mm pag wide. Pagtaas ay pag zoom ng itsura. Pang macro nga yang 100mm eh. Tignan mo, kabit mo tong 50.

We see the POV of the cameras view finder becomes wider after changing the 100mm lens to 50mm.

Livs Dad: Ayan o, naka zoom pag 50. Mas naka zoom nga kasi 50% lang ang kita niyan.

Liv: Mas close-up nga yung 100


Page 9 of 79

Livs dad slaps Liv with the back of his hand.

Livs Dad: Tangina ka!! Sabi nang mas close-up ang 50 kesa 100mm! Lolokohin mo pa ko e nabasa ko yan sa internet! Putangina, nagmamarunong ka pa!

2D EXT. RESORT DAY Livs dad is trying to take a family group picture using a 100mm lens.

Livs Dad: Tangina naman oh! Magdikit dikit kasi kayo para magkasya!

Livs dad presses the shutter button. We see the picture in the LCD of the camera. We see an extreme close-up photo of Liv trying to smile with all her might. Her smile is the shape of a rainbow, very sarcastic, crooked forehead and brows, pupils on the far upper right corner of her eyes and pouting.

Livs dad goes into psychotic break.

Page 10 of 79

Livs Dad: Putangina! Bibili ka ng pagkakamahal na camera tapos lagi namang sira! Mga bobo pala kayo eh! Magcocompress lang di pa magawa! Ayaw niyo bang may masaya tayong picture?? Hirap sa inyo di kayo positibo mag isip! Lalong lalo ka na Liv, bakit ka pa laging nakasimangot?? Putanginamooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pag di ka ngumiti gigilitan kitang bata ka!!

Liv V.O.: Quality time Mandatory quality time. Prick.

2E INT. COMMON RESTROOM DAY We see Cieca looking upwards, wondering while still seated on the toilet.

Cieca: Wow. Lagi talaga niya sinasabi na mapapatay ka niya? Not to mention the excessive use of putanginas.

Liv: Oh no no. Pag tulog ako tum Mali pala, tuloy din pag tulog ako. Pag tulog siya tumitigil naman kaso

2F INT. LIVS ROOM NIGHT We see a close-up of Livs phone. Her thumb is about to touch the touch screen of the phone.

Page 11 of 79

Livs Dads Voice: Putangina kang bata ka, gabing gabi na text ka pa din nang text?! Pagod na pagod na nga ako, ang ingay ingay pa ng keypad mo!

2G INT. COMMON RESTROOM DAY Liv and Cieca are still using the toilet. They continue talking.

Cieca: Touch screen? Wala naman tunog ang keypad nun pag nagtetext ah? It doesnt even have a keypad. Baka naman yung light from the screen?

Liv: Nakatalukbong ako sa kumot. Saka walang tunog ang ilaw ng screen no. Saka sealed ang kwarto ko. Parang panty. Ako lang nakakakita kung anong nasa loob.

2H INT. LIVS ROOM NIGHT The room is very dark. Liv whole body is covered by a thick blanket. Shes texting with a pillow covering her phone. There are no signs of light from the phone screen.

Liv (V.O.): Pati footsteps ng langgam nga nagigising yun eh.

Page 12 of 79

We see a macro shot of an ant in slow motion. The ants leg is about to touch the floor. The moment it lands, we hear Livs dad shout.

Livs Dads Voice: Putangina, ang ingay niyo!

2I INT. COMMON RESTROOM DAY Liv and Cieca continue talking at the restroom.

Liv: Anyway, pinagiinitan lang talaga ko nun. Saka pano niya makikita or maririnig nangyayari sa kwarto ko eh its like my private kingdom out of this world.

Cieca: CCTV?

Liv: ODK.

Cieca: ODK?

Liv: Oh. Diyos. Ko. Walanghiya talaga. Tutukan na niya ko ng baril wag lang camera. Me saying the panty thingy earlier made it even more disturbing.

Page 13 of 79

Cieca puts her head at the wall of the cubicle on Livs side.

Cieca: About the gun thingytinatakot ka lang siguro. You know, to give you a lesson maybe?

Liv hits the side of the cubicle, delivering a mild impact on Cieca who happens to be lying her head on the wall of the cubicle.

Cieca: Aww!

Liv: Tinutok niya sakin yung baril ok? Worse, he pulled the Goddamn trigger! Buti nga di ako tinamaan eh! Guess Im lucky, unlike our maid. And it really was an honest mistake in marksmanship.

Cieca: Bakit di siya nakulong nung nabaril niya yung katulong niyo?

Liv: Self defense daw. The worlds best dad thinks that the maid tried to kill my brother. Meron pang quote-unquote evidence. Dumudugo nga naman talaga yung bayag.

Page 14 of 79

2J INT. TRIAL COURT DAY We see Livs dad looking confident in the accused bench of the courtroom.

Judge: Justified.

2K INT. COMMON RESTROOM - DAY Cieca: Right

Liv: Hindi na niya maalala yung tinutukan niya ako ng baril. God, it was on my head and I couldnt even feel it. It didnt feel cold or anything.it wasjust therejustlooking at me. Tanginang yan

Cieca: No offense, but I think were dealing with a schizo.

Liv: Baka. Isumbong dapat sa bantay bata yun. Dapat iconfine na yun sa mental or bitayin. Or Bitayin sa mental. That gets my vote.

Cieca: I mean you. And youre 2 years already of legal age which means youre 2 years no longer considered bata.

Page 15 of 79

Liv: Im trying to be intimate here.

Liv climbs up the toilet seat and peeks on Ciecas cubicle.

Liv: Alam mo? Youre rudeness exceeds your pretty face.

Cieca: Rude? Pano ba naman, eh knowing you, you might be just making this up. Dati nung pinapatawag ni Sir Basco yung parents mo coz you stole his lcd projector, you broke down and cried and told him na your parents died nung 9/11 attack.

Liv: I BORROWED it. I cried kasi panaginip lang pala yun nung natutulog ako sa klase. Sayang.

Cieca gives out a sigh and looks up; noticing Liv is looking at her the whole time. She is startled and accidentally hurls a dipper towards Livs face.

Cieca: EEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!

Liv: AAAWWW!

3 INT. COFFEE SHOP DAY


Page 16 of 79

Liv is downing a cup of coffee as if it was beer. On the contrary, Cieca is adding perfectly measured teaspoons of sugar and creamer to her cup and stirring it in a very sophisticated manner with her pinky sticking up. She continues stirring it endlessly.

Liv: Are you gonna drink that?

Cieca: You shouldnt badmouth your parents. Lalo na yung dad mo. Baka stressed lang yun kasi he has a family to support.

Liv: Para namang dalawa ang pamilya niya kung naiistress siya. Mura mura ng tuition ko ha. Saka wala akong luho. 6 digits na hindi zero or 1 ang first digit ang salary nun.

Cieca: No ones that bad.

Liv: Maybe hes actually a killer. Oh or he has an affair with one of his co-workers! Alam mo kahit san mo tingnan shutangina lang talaga yung hayop nay un, simple.

Cieca: You should love


Page 17 of 79

Liv interrupts by slamming her empty cup of coffee to the table.

Liv: Shhhh

Cieca: Liv

Liv waves her hand in disagreement.

Liv: Teka, wag ka magulo.

Both of them stop talking for a few seconds. Liv inhales deeply and sneezes on Cieca. Cieca, stern faced, grabs the tissue on the table, wipes her face without changing her expression. Liv snorts then exits the frame.

Liv: Tara na lapit na curfew ko. Mahirap na baka mabaril. Worse baka tumama.

Cieca: Okay.

Liv: Ay kaw muna magbayad ha? Utang muna. Love ya.

Page 18 of 79

Cieca: Kala ko ba 6 digits ang income niyo?

Liv: Kape lang naman.

Cieca: Share-a-load?

Liv: Ikaw naman yung may kailangan ng kausap. Concerned nga ko sayo kasi may suicidal tendencies ka pag walang katext.

3A EXT. GRASS FIELDS DAY We see a swift flashback of Cieca under the shade of a tree on the grass fields. She stares at the setting sun in a melodramatic manner. Liv is quietly listening to her.

Cieca: Can life get better across time? Not to sound suicidal but personally I think I have lived long enough to think that life has been too tiresome.

3B INT. COFFEE SHOP DAY Cieca snaps out of her flashback.

Cieca: Tampons?

Page 19 of 79

4 INT. BUS DAY Liv is staring at the bus window watching the sun as it sets. A girl, around 5 years old, is sleeping; her head is rested on Livs shoulders. Liv looks at her and expresses a nostalgic smile.

4A EXT. ROAD NIGHT Its raining. A young girl (also around 5 years old) is standing still in the middle of an empty road, drenched. We see Liv carrying an umbrella while staring at the young girl.

Ciecas Voice: Hoy

4B INT. BUS DAY Liv is seated in the window side of the bus. Shes sleeping with her head on Ciecas shoulder who is sitting beside her (where the sleeping girl was seated earlier).

Cieca: Gising na. Lapit na tayo.

Liv wakes up and yawns and stretches exactly like a cat. Her face suddenly turned serious.

Page 20 of 79

Liv: Napanaginipan kita

Cieca looks at her, listening intently.

Liv: nangungulangot ka daw tapos hinahabol mo ko kasi ipapahid mo sakin tapos hindi ako makatakbo. Naka slow motion tapos hinihingal. Tapos inabutan mo ko.

5 EXT. BUS STOP DAY The bus stops. Liv and Cieca gets off the bus, both waves goodbye to each other then went in different directions. Liv exits the frame to the left side. Cieca exits to the right side. After a while, Liv enters the frame again from the left side. She walks toward Ciecas direction and exits to the right side of the frame.

Livs Voice: Wala akong pamasahe sa jeep.

Ciecas Voice: Ugh (sighs)

Liv runs back to the frame from the right side and exits to the left side.

Page 21 of 79

6 INT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Liv opens the front door, enters the house and switches on the lights. The camera is locked on her face and follows her as she moves forward. She walks through the living room, dining room, and hallways. As she passes each area, we see her dad, mother, brother, and sister frozen still as if time stopped. Liv continues to walk disregarding everyone and enters her room.

7 EXT. ROAD NIGHT We see the young girl again in the middle of the rain. The droplets of rain are in slow motion.

8 INT. LIVS ROOM NIGHT We see Liv standing in front of a mirror. She stares at herself as if she doesnt know who the reflection in the mirror is. She raises her left hand and points her index finger to her head as if holding a gun. We see a mild burn mark on her forehead suggesting that the events when her father tried to kill her really took place. She blinks her eyes in fear as if her hand is a real gun.

8A EXT. PEDESTRIAN LANE DAY

Page 22 of 79

Liv opens her eyes. She is standing in the middle of a pedestrian lane. Shes still pointing her finger to her head. Crowds are passing by her in slow motion. The crowd is in uniform clothing as if everyone is the same person. Only Liv stands out from the crowd and is obviously out of place. We see Livs distressed expression, looking afraid to pull the imaginary trigger. She pulls it anyway.

8B EXT. GRASS FIELDS DAY We see Liv throws her head as if a real bullet came out of her finger. Her hair waves in slow motion. Her body falls to the grass also in slow motion.

8C INT. LIVS ROOM NIGHT Liv falls on her bed with a discontented look on her face. She stares at the ceiling. She switches off the lantern beside her bed and tries to sleep. After a while, she switches it on again. She picks up her phone and calls Cieca.

Ciecas Voice: Hello?

Liv: Gusto ko kumain ng tempura.

Page 23 of 79

Ciecas Voice: Dapat sinabi mo agad. Pinagluto ko si Isoebelle (Ciecas pet cat) kanina. Ubos na. Sana pinagtira kita.

Liv: Spoiled cat.

Ciecas Voice: Tara na lang kumain bukas sa Japanese resto or kahit san may hipon.

Liv: Rice all you can?

Ciecas Voice: Youre gonna get fat.

Liv: Okay lang basta dederesto sa boobs ko.

Ciecas Voice: Ok stop.

Liv: Wala din naman nanliligaw sakin eh.

Ciecas Voice: Ganun daw nangyayari pag di ka nagpapaligaw.

8D EXT. BASKETBALL COURT DAY We see Livs flashback. A sweaty basketball player talks to the camera. Hes spinning a ball on his finger while wearing an
Page 24 of 79

annoying grin. His eyebrows are moving up and down. Hes hitting on Liv.

Basketball Player: Wanna shoot some balls with me?

The basketball players face suddenly went pale and seems to be in pain. Liv kicked him in the groin but its not shown in the camera.

8E INT. CLASSROOM DAY Liv is in class. The professor is giving a lecture and every student is listening intently. The school heartthrob knocks on the classrooms door. He gets the attention of the female professor. The professor admirably lets him in. The heartthrob enters the classroom with a rose tree on a clay pot.

Heartthrob: Maam, excuse me, I just want to deliver this living rose to the beautiful Ms. Olivia.

The whole class is cheering. Liv shows an unsure and faint smile. She blushes a little. The boy approaches her and hands over the rose tree.

Page 25 of 79

Liv: Imgay.

8F INT. RESTAURANT NIGHT Liv and a well dressed young man are eating at a fine dining restaurant.

Well Dressed Man: So, what Im going to ask you ispwede ba akong manligaw?

Liv: Strict ang parents ko eh.

8G EXT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT We see a group of young lads wearing barong, carrying guitars in front of Livs house. They start singing a song. A serenade for Liv. A gunshot is heard.

Livs Dads Voice: Hoy! Mga bastos!

8H INT. SCHOOL DAY We see a flashback of Liv back in kindergarten. A toddler with perfectly combed wet look hair and baby powder on his face talks to the camera.

Page 26 of 79

Toddler: Will you be my girlfriend?

Young Livs Voice: Its not youits me.

8I INT. LIVS ROOM NIGHT

Ciecas Voice: Its not youits me? Matulog ka na nga.

Liv: Ganyan talaga. Classic dalagang Pilipina. TNB. Wag mo bababa. Keep talking.

Ciecas Voice: TNB?

Liv: Tunay na babae.

Ciecas Voice: Akala ko ba you said you were gay?

Liv: Alamo kasi, ang pag-ibig, godslayer yan. Pati Diyos namatay because of love. Buti na lang Diyos siya. Read your Bible, dear. Anyway, magkwento ka na nga lang.

Ciecas Voice: Antok na ko.

Page 27 of 79

Liv: Kahit huminga ka lang.

Ciecas Voice: Okay, you are gay.

Liv yawns and slowly falls asleep as Cieca continues talking on the phone.

9 INT. LIVS BATHROOM DAY Liv is standing in front of the camera, yawning. Her hair is messed up, shes still half asleep. She stares grumpily in front of the camera for a few more seconds. She picks her nose and wipes it off on her shirt. She gets her toothbrush, squeezed a hefty amount of toothpaste, opens the faucet and she swallowed water directly from the faucet. Her cheeks bulging with the amount of water in her mouth, she puts the toothbrush in her mouth and brushes her teeth. Water overflows from her mouth and the toothpaste starts to bubble up, forming a beard-like substance all over her face.

Liv (V.0.): Sleepwalking. Kasi hindi pa talaga ako gising. Zombified daily routine.

Page 28 of 79

She spits the toothpaste, rinsed her toothbrush then she swallows water from her hands. She takes a deep breath and starts a loud gargle. Liv rans out of air and takes another deep breath and continues to gargle. She takes a shower, dresses up.

Liv (V.O.): Generic. At least dito sa bahay. Parang tapsilog.

10 INT. LIVS HOUSE | DINING ROOM DAY We see Livs breakfast, tapsilog on a plate. The camera shifts to a wide shot of the dining table. Time is stopped; everything is not moving except for Liv. We see a glass of orange juice suspended in midair. Livs brother is carelessly pouring water on a glass, it overflows to the floor. Livs mother, carrying a plate with glasses of juice and coffee, is slipping at the puddle of water on the floor and is about to fall. Her sister is texting and is unaware of everything around. Her father is in a psychotic break stance. He has orange juice all over his work attire. Liv continues eating, grabs the orange juice suspended in midair, drinks it and puts the glass back in the air. She stands and walks out of the frame and exits the house.

Liv (V.O.): Cats have 9 livespero they spend all their time sleeping all day. May mga taong binigyan ng mas maraming chances
Page 29 of 79

at opportunities pero they waste it. Meron din namang mga taong may nagiisang pagkakataon

11 EXT. LIVS HOUSE DAY The houses front door opens. Liv exits through it. The door closes and as soon as it comes to a full close, time starts again and the sound of breaking glass (the glass of juice suspended in midair) and her father shouting is heard.

Liv (V.O.): One chancelife or death kung minsanbut they take it. Sometimes it workspero minsan

Livs Dads Voice: Putangina!

Liv shifts from the half asleep look on her face to a relieved expression.

Liv (V.O.): Anywayminsan lang nakakalimutan itali ang aso. Basta ako, rakenrol lang. You barely get a lifemight as well live.

She puts a smile on her face and walks joyfully towards the gate with her chin up. We hear a sound of thunder.
Page 30 of 79

Liv (V.O.): Spontaneous lang.

12 EXT. WAITING SHED DAY Its raining hard. Liv is facing the camera with an annoyed look on her face. Shes drenched in the rain. Ciecas car arrives. Liv enters the car.

13 INT. CAR DAY Liv is seating in the passenger seat as shes drying herself using her handkerchief which is also wet from the rain. Cieca drives calmly.

Liv: Wala ka bang towel diyan?

Cieca: May nakikita ka bang banyo sa kotse ko?

Cieca hands her a small handkerchief.

Liv: Suspended pala klase, wala naman nagsasabi sakin.

Cieca: Tinext kaya kita.

Page 31 of 79

Liv: Wala kaya akong narere

Livs phone vibrates. She looks at her phone and sees a message from Cieca. She reads it aloud.

Liv: NO CLASSES ALL LEVELS. Movie marathon at my place. Evil grin.

Livs phone vibrates again and she sees another text message from Cieca.

Cieca: Twice.

14 INT. CIECAS FLAT DAY Liv and Cieca are looking at the camera. A towel is on Livs head. They are sharing a blanket. The flashing light from the television reflects on their faces. They are watching an action film.

Liv: Kapag nagspeech yung president, siguradong may sniper diyan.

We hear a gunshot and the screaming crowd from the television.


Page 32 of 79

14A INT. CIECAS FLAT - DAY They are now watching a horror film. Liv is eating cup noodles using a chopstick. Cieca has a scared expression because of the film. We hear rapid footsteps and heavy breathing of a girl coming from the television.

Liv: Madadapa yan, tignan mo.

We hear the sound of a chainsaw, ripping flesh, and a screaming girl. Liv slurps the noodles loudly.

Liv: Ano ba yan. Putol na yung bituka, nakakasigaw pa din. Saka 2 liters lang kaya ang dugo ng tao. Bathtub na yan eh.

Liv continues slurping her noodles. Cieca looks like shes about to throw up.

14B INT. CIECAS FLAT DAY They are now watching a drama film. Liv does not pay attention to the film and eats popcorn instead. Cieca looks like shes about to cry, watching intently while hugging her pet cat. We

Page 33 of 79

hear the sound of a car engine, rain, and sad music coming from the television.

Liv: Mababangga yan. Umuulan eh.

We hear the sound of car horns, skidding tires, shattering glass and crushing metal.

14C INT. CIECAS FLAT DAY They are now watching Twilight: Breaking Dawn. Liv looks really angry. Cieca is calmly drinking coffee.

Liv: Edward Jacob?! Ang landi talaga ng shutanginang bitch na yan!

14D INT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT Flashing lights from the television illuminates the room. Liv looks sleepy. Cieca yawns like a cat.

Liv: Pwede ba ko makitulog dito?

Cieca: Baka mapagalitan ka ng dad mo. Gabi na.

Page 34 of 79

Liv: Nagtext na ko sa bahay. Sabi ko ang lakas ng bagyo, hindi ako makauwi kaya makikitulog na lang ako sa kaklase ko.

Cieca: Okay, sige. Just dont use my toothbrush.

Liv hands over Ciecas toothbrush then lies on the bed, covering herself under the blanket. Cieca grabs it then turns off the television and lies next to Liv. Liv squeezes in closer to Cieca and hugs her.

Liv: Pahug.

Cieca: Okay.

Liv: Pakiss?

Cieca: No way.

Liv falls asleep. Cieca is still awake. She stares at the white ceiling above as the screen slowly fades to black.

III C i e c a
Page 35 of 79

Black screen.

Cieca (V.O.): Magigising ka na lang wala kang isip, may chupon ka sa bibig, matututo ka gumapang, maglakad, tumakbo, tapos papasok ka sa school, mabubulok sa school, gagraduate, maghahanap ng trabaho, magkakatrabaho, matatanggal sa trabaho, ikakasal sa taong di mo mahal, maghahanap ulit ng trabaho, maliit ang sweldo, titiisin mo yung boss mong tangaTANGA, magtitiis kang magtiis, mapapagod, magreretire, tatanda, magkakasakit, maririnig ang magandang balita mula sa paborito mong doctor, tapos sa hinaba-haba ng maiksi mong buhay, nag-aral ka para magkatrabaho at naghanap-buhay ka para madeds.

1 EXT. GRASS FIELDS DAY Its bright. The place is quiet, wide, empty; there are no clouds in the sky. Cieca, holding a camera is sitting in the middle of the grass field. We see her face, emotionless but seem in deep thought. She has refined hairstyle, wears casual yet classy clothing and carries an expensive looking camera which suggests her social status.

Page 36 of 79

Cieca (V.O.): (Sighs) Can life get better cross time? Not to sound suicidal (gagi, hindi ako EMO) pero paulitulitnakakasawa. Yung tipong zombified, template, scratch na, walang nangyayari, mainstream, low qualityhindi HD.

She lies down the grass and gives a blank stare towards the empty sky. She brings her camera up to her face and presses the shutter button without looking through the viewfinder.

2 EXT. PHOTO STORE DAY Cieca exits the photo store carrying a brown envelope, her camera hanging on her neck, her bag at her shoulder.

3 EXT. SIDEWALKS DAY Cieca wanders the sidewalk filled with little to no people. She passes a woman with an infant tied up in a baby stroller, crying irritatingly, trying to break free from the safety belts.

Cieca (V.O.): (Referring to the baby) Yan, ganyan ang tao for about 5 years. Useless na, powerless pa. Nakatali sa gulong against our CREATIVE freedom, wala pang manibela. Suotan ka pa nila ng baby kikay shoes pero hindi ka naman nila pinaglalakad.

Page 37 of 79

Dirty daw. Ang matindi pa nito ay dadamitan ka nila niyan. Naman? Thats SO primitive.

After scrutinizing the baby, Cieca and the woman greet each other with a smile as common courtesy.

4 EXT. SCHOOL DAY Cieca passes a wide structure with towering fences, silent and lifeless a school.

Cieca (V.O.): Tapos you open your eyes; makikita mo yung malaking TV sa bahay tapos sasabihin ng parents sandata yan ng dimonyo. Bawal ka na manood. Walang entertainment. Paparusahan ka pamag-aral ka daw. Ipapadala ka nila sa kulungan na yan (referring to the school) for at least 15 years.

A student tries to jump over the fence to cut classes while Cieca is passing by. The student is Liv.

Cieca V.O.: Buti pa si Liv. Nagpapaka avant-garde sa buhay. Ayan, tumatakas sa klase over the bakod.

We see a series of videos of Livs failed and successful attempts on trying to cut classes, jumping over the fence, running away from professors and school guards chasing after her.

4B EXT. PARKING LOT DAY We see the close-up of the lens of a camera. Behind the camera is Liv. She lies flat on the ground holding the camera like a sniper.

Cieca (V.O.): Mahilig siyang gumawa ng moviesbizarre ones. She likes to see things from adifferent angle.

We see the POV of Livs camera - a close-up of a foot. We then see Liv under a car holding the camera trying to take a low angle shot of the foot of the driver coming out of the car. We see the people around the parking lot looking at Liv like shes some crazy girl.

Liv: What? May problema?

4C INT. DENTAL CLINIC DAY

Page 39 of 79

We see the close-up of Livs face from a low angle. Shes holding a camera.

Cieca (V.O.): Minsan sobrang different

We see Liv in a dental clinic. A nerdy looking guy is lying on the dental chair. The lens of Livs camera is in the mouth of the guy.

Cieca (V.O.): She wanted to make a filmlove story daw ng lalamunan at ng tonsils

We the guys tonsils hanging and doesnt stick in the walls of his throat.

Cieca (V.O.): The only way na magkakasama yung lalamunan at tonsils ay tonsillitis. Dentista yung kontrabida. Told the dude to brush, floss, and gargle to prevent tooth decay, gum problems, at tonsillitissobrang depressing langand weird.

5 EXT. PEDESTRIAN LANE DAY Cieca continues walking down the sidewalk. Its scorching. The sidewalk adjacent to a pedestrian lane is packed with business
Page 40 of 79

commuters, irritated by the heat, unbuttoned shirts, pulled over ties. Seemingly endless river of cars are passing one after another.

Cieca (V.O.): (Referring to the business commuters, employees, workers, drivers) Anyway, makatakas ka man sa bilangguan, ganyan ka na hanggang nakakalakad ka. Nakakurbata ka pa e sabong panlaba lang naman ang binebenta mo. Driver ng jeep di binabayaran ng pasahero. May kotse ka nga, tignan mo yun (gas station with prices of gas) afford mo? Kaya ngayon puro sungasob sa trabaho.

The traffic becomes congested. A limping beggar with a crotch approaches a stopped car, knocks on the window then asks for alms.

Cieca (V.O.): (Referring to the beggar) Hanggat nakakalakad ka.

We hear the loud sound of an ambulance from afar.

Cieca (V.O.): (Referring to the ambulance) Naheat stroke siguro dahil sa init ng ulo at stress.
Page 41 of 79

The traffic congestion is being caused by a funeral walk. We hear the sound of a funeral song.

Cieca (V.O.): Tapos deds na agad.

Liv comes from the background and sees Cieca. She catches up and walks with her.

Liv: Cieca! Tamang-tama, peram ako ng camera. Short film project sa school. Kunin din kitang artista ha?

Cieca: Ayaw. Dami-daming artista diyan ako pa napagtripan mo.

Liv: (Referring to Ciecas beauty) Tangi, para nga best cinematography.

We see Cieca trying to hold back a smile. She gives a rock faced expression.

Cieca: Gagi.

Page 42 of 79

She hands over the camera without looking. She takes the battery charger from her bag and also hands it over. Cieca shows a discreet smile.

Cieca (V.O.): Pero may mga particular moments in time, kasama mo yung friendsFRIEND, na pwede na rin sabihing may joy in lifePARTICULAR MOMENTS IN TIME.

We see particles of water vapor in super slow motion followed by a slap in someones face also in slow motion and a very slow clock arm movement that stops in the middle of a second. We then see Cieca with a solid face, frowning like angry, walking alone.

Livs Voice: Cie, babye! Balik ko na lang isang araw tong cam. Hinahabol ako ni Longhair Artist!

Sir Basco (Longhair Artist)s Voice: Hoy! Anaknang, Liv! Napakalibanera mong gaga! San ka ba dadalhin ng paava-avantgarde mong iyan?

We see Sir Basco far away behind Cieca, running, passes Cieca and runs after Liv. Cieca looks at Sir Basco and scrutinizes him

Page 43 of 79

as she views him in slow motion. Sir Bascos long, braided hair flies through the air in slow motion.

Cieca (V.O.): Sir Basco. Longhair artist. 5 feet ang length ng buhok niya pag nakatirintas. Pag nakalugay, Im guessing 7. Everytime I see him, shampoo ang naiisip ko.

5A INT. CLASSROOM DAY Sir Basco is lecturing about experimental film as the film is being projected at the screen in the background.

Cieca (V.O.): Prof. siya ni Liv sa film class. Or at least, pag hindi nakatakas si Liv sa klase niya. Mahilig siya gumawa ng mga pelikulang palaging nagkakaawards pero magtataka ka kung bakit nagkakaawards.

In the screen, we see a very long-haired man trying to fit himself inside a refrigerator.

5B EXT. PEDESTRIAN LANE DAY Liv breaks through the red pedestrian lights as Sir Basco tries to catch up. Two policemen are walking near the sidewalk.

Page 44 of 79

Liv: AAAAAH!!! Hinahabol ako ng rapist!

Sir Basco: Hoy! Bumalik ka dito!

The two policemen hear Liv shouting for help and think that Sir Basco is a real rapist. The two policemen dive Sir Basco, pinning him to the ground. We see Cieca on the other side of the pedestrian lane opening a white umbrella, her bag on her shoulders, brown envelope in one hand. Shes in the middle of a crowd waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green. The light turns green and busy people rushing to cross the lane. Cieca stands out from the crowd under a white umbrella and calmly walks through the white stripes on the road against an array of stampeding pedestrians.

6 INT. CIECAS FLAT DAY Cieca enters her room; well organized, simple, clean, white walls, white floors, white ceiling. Shes holding her bag in one hand and a brown envelope in the other. She walks toward the mirror in her room, stares at her reflection for a brief moment then she opens the brown envelope and pulls an 8r print of a photograph she took earlier and clips it through the nook at the frame of the mirror.
Page 45 of 79

Cieca (V.O.): Can life get better cross time?

She lies on her bed and stares on the white ceiling that is directly above her.

Cieca (V.O.): (Referring to the white ceiling) Nope. Ganyan pa din.

We then see the 8r photograph that she clipped on the mirror an overexposed photo of the sky that she took at the grass fields. Its plain white and looks more of a blank paper than a photograph. We then see the walls of her room; hanging, are a lot of picture frames with nothing but white, blank photos similar to the one in the mirror.

7 EXT. VARIOUS DAY We see Cieca standing at the sidewalks, facing the road. A mother with a baby in a stroller passes by behind her.

We see Cieca standing at the sidewalks in front of a school. We see Liv jumping over the fence like she always does. Sir Basco runs after her as usual.
Page 46 of 79

We see Cieca standing at the sidewalks adjacent to a pedestrian lane with a lot of busy commuters. Endless river of cars are passing one after another.

We hear the sound of an ambulance from afar.

We hear funeral songs from the funeral walk nearby.

Everything is repeated multiple times to establish a cycle.

Cieca (V.O.): Ganito na lang ba? Paulit-ulit. Nakakasawa.

8 INT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT Its dark. Its midnight. The room is illuminated by the faint light outside the window. We see Cieca lying on her bed, tired and confused. Shes still looking at the white ceiling above her.

Cieca V.O.: Nakalimutan na ng tao ang mangarap. Pinapatay ang sarili para mabuhay sa mundong hindi natutulogpipikit lang, umaga na.

Page 47 of 79

We hear her phones message alert tone. She picks up the phone and looks at the text message. Its Liv.

Livs Text: Happy birthday! Mwah! Hugs!

Cieca gets sad and puts her phone down.

Cieca (V.O.): Can life get better cross time? Not to sound suicidal (coz really, I am not) but personally I think I have lived long enough to think that life has been too tiresome.

Cieca sits up from her bed, picks her cell phone up. She sighs. She dials Livs number and calls her.

Livs Voice: The number you dial is not in service. Please try again later. Toot. Toot. Toot.

Cieca: Yung camera ko.

Livs Voice: Lumabas ka dito. May delivery ka.

Liv hangs up.

Page 48 of 79

Cieca: Ha? Hello? Liv?

Cieca sighs. She stands and exits her room irritatingly. She exits the front door of her flat apartment.

9 EXT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT Cieca sees a huge box right at her doorstep. It looks like something that came from terrorist. We see Liv running joyfully and vanish into the dark.

Cieca: Hoy, Liv!

Cieca looks at the box, wondering whats inside. She picks it up with maximum effort against the weight of the contents. She enters her apartment.

10 INT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT We see Cieca opening the box from the POV of the contents. Cieca sees her camera and charger inside and takes it out and put it on her bed. She then picks up a note saying Tutok mo yung projector sa kisame. Cieca sees the projector. We see that it even have the school logo on it. Cieca expresses a disappointed look but does what the note says. She then took the DVD player
Page 49 of 79

which is also inside the box. On top of it is a note saying Kabit mo sa projector tapos iplay mo. Hihi. Ciecas face is curious and does what the note says. She lies on her bed as the color bars and countdown are projected on the ceiling. The first frame appears a bright, plain white, overexposed shot of the sky. Cieca, surprised and confused, puts her attention to the video being projected on the white ceiling. The first shots are just plain white which slowly turns bluish across time then yellow to reddish. Cieca recognizes the video.

Cieca: Time-lapse?

The video turns from reddish to a purple gradient which slowly turns black. Cieca is shocked but her startled face turns to a bright and content expression. She closes her eyes, preventing her to see what came next. Countless stars, so many it seemed unnatural, starts appearing. The cloudless sky above the grass fields made the stars shine so bright.

Cieca (V.O.): Can life get better cross time? She just smiles. We hear Cieca giggles. The video in the ceiling continues playing. The screen slowly fades to black.

Page 50 of 79

Cieca V.O.: (Positive tone) Magigising ka na lang wala kang isippati problema, may chupon ka sa bibig, matututo ka gumapang, maglakad, tumakbo, tapos papasok ka sa school, may allowance pag nasa school, manonood ng TV, sine, gagraduate, maghahanap ng trabaho, magkakatrabaho, matatanggal sa trabaho pero ikakasal sa taong mahal ko, magkakapamilya, cute na mga baby na may fashionable clothing, maghahanap ulit ng trabaho, malaki ang sweldo, magiging boss ako, magtitiis sila sakin, mapapagod, magrerelax, swimming, malling, magreretire, tatanda, magkakasakit, maririnig ang magandang balita mula sa paborito mong doctor, pero mabubuhay ako ng masaya hanggang...

(Sound Only) We hear Ciecas phone ringing. call.

She answers the

Ciecas Voice: Hello?

Livs Voice: Ui, yung projector daanan ko na lang bukas. Dinugas ko lang yan kay longhair artist.

Ciecas Voice: Gagi ka Liv!

We hear both girls laughing.

Ciecas Voice: Love you, Liv. Thanks sa gift.

Livs Voice: Bakla, yung DVD player ko ha.

1 EXT. ROOFTOP AT SOMEWHERE NIGHT The place is quiet. Junk are scattered all over the rooftop, suggesting that its an abandoned building. We see Liv sitting on a pile of crates and junk looking very irritated. She takes a crooked cigarette from her pocket then bites off the filter and spits it. She puts the cigarette on her mouth and tries to light it but she cant seem to draw some fire from her faulty lighter. Liv gets mad and throws the lighter off the rooftop. She spits the cigarette and she tramples it on the ground while screaming angrily. Black screen.

Ciecas Voice: Hindi ko akalain na magigising ako sa loob ng isang panaginip

2 INT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL NIGHT


Page 52 of 79

In a dark corner of a room, we see Cieca tied up in piano strings trying to sit up. Her facial expression is a mixture of surprised, confused, and angry but she stays calm. She talks to the camera. She is talking to someone but is not shown in the frame.

Cieca: Youin front of me. Everythings messed up.

3 INT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT Ciecas room is ransacked. Broken glass and picture frames, along with various objects are scattered on the floor. Liv is standing in the middle of the room. There is a man, unconscious, strapped on a chair. His face is hidden from view. There is an unconscious girl lying face down on the floor at Livs feet. Under the unconscious girl, there is a torn photo. We vaguely see the picture but we see Cieca in it. The other half of the photo is face down on the floor. The shards of glass from the broken picture frame slightly wound the unconscious girl. Tiny amounts of blood are on the glass shards.

Ciecas Voice: Naaalala ko nasa kwarto akoyou were there. Blood is all over your facebut it was you. Maraming basag na salamin na nakakalat sa sahig. I was lying on broken glassit
Page 53 of 79

was painful. Nararamdaman ba ang panaginip? I wish Liv would wake me up

4 INT. CIECAS FLAT DAY Liv is looking around Ciecas room. A sound of a shower can be heard coming from the bathroom door. The room is well organized. Clean and dust free. Almost everything in the room is white White floor, walls, ceiling, and furniture. The picture frames on the walls with nothing but plain white photos piques Livs attention. She looks around in wonder. One particular picture frame takes her interest. The edge of the photo on that frame is accidentally folded, revealing a small part of an image underneath. Liv takes down the picture frame from the wall and tries to remove the photo inside. As she tries to remove the photo, she accidentally drops it.

Ciecas Voice: Nasa harapan kita pero all I thought about was Livna tutulungan niya koaalagaan niya ko. I know shell take care of meshe always does.

5 EXT. ROOFTOP AT SOMEWHERE NIGHT We see Livs foot falling down on the cigarette on the floor. The cigarette is already pulverized but Liv continues to trample

it. We see water droplets start falling on the floor. Liv is crying. She stops trampling the cigarette and breaks down into the ground. Liv cries too hard but without a sound, saliva and mucus builds up and falls off her face. She is kneeling down with her forehead on the floor.

Ciecas Voice: Siya lang ang nagpapangiti sakin. Shes like a dot on a blank piece of papersmall but makes all the difference. Shes my only friendfamily

6 INT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL NIGHT Cieca, still constrained by piano strings stares on the floor with widened eyes and a shocked expression as shes processing the unexpected turn of events.

1 INT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Liv is sitting on the bed of her parents. She is holding a picture frame in her hand. There is a rotating body in the foreground in front of her. We see a rotating ceiling fan with a rope attached to it. At the end of the rope, Livs mother is hanging. She committed suicide. Livs expression is unusually calm and composed.

Liv (V.O.): I was about to tell my mom about dads whore pero shes already dead pagdating ko sa bahay. Too much pressure from my psychopath father iswelltoo much, she committed suicide. Not that I care but surely my dads going to blame menot

Liv: Nasaan si mama?

Livs brother ignores her and continues playing his PSP.

Liv: Hoy.

Livs brother continues to ignore her.

Liv: Hoy, nasaan si mama?

Livs brother looks irritated and talks back to Liv rudely.

Page 57 of 79

Livs Brother: Tangina, ewan nga sabi!

Liv: Anong ewan nga? Eh hindi ka pa naman nagsasalita? Tinatanong ka ng maayos, barumbado ka kung makasagot?

Liv grabs her brothers PSP and takes it away. She walks calmly towards the grand piano. She drops the PSP inside.

Livs Brother: Tangina mo, bastos ka ah! Nananahimik ako dito, putangina mo ka!

Livs brother approaches Liv by the piano. He pushes Liv with his hands making Liv fall harshly to the floor. Liv has a blank expression on her face. Livs brother puts his head under the hood of the piano and searches for his PSP inside. Liv stands up and approaches her brother slowly. She closes the piano hood while her brothers head is still under it. She maintains a downward pressure, eventually crushing her brothers head leaving him dead.

3 INT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Liv walks around the house searching for her younger sister. She walks by the bathroom door and hears her sister talking with
Page 58 of 79

someone on the phone while taking a bath. We vaguely hear what theyre talking about but its about nonsense and boy hunting. Liv exits the house.

4 EXT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Outside, Liv is pulling a lot of extension cords. She cuts the end of the cord revealing the copper wires. She ties a weight near the end of the cord near the wires. She plugs the other end in a wall socket. Liv walks around outside the house where the bathroom exhaust window is located. Steam is coming out from the window. We hear her younger sister still talking to the phone. Liv throws the wire through the window, electrocuting her younger sister to death while on a bathtub.

5 INT. LIVS HOUSE | BATHROOM NIGHT Inside the bathroom, we see the leg of Livs younger sister hanging on the edge of the bathtub while her entire body including her head is submerged in water. We see the wire hanging on the exhaust window with its tip also submerged in the tub.

Liv enters her parents bedroom and reaches under the bed to take the case of her dads gun. She pulls it out and opens it revealing the gun. She puts bullets in the magazine and loads it to the gun while her dead mothers hanging body is still spinning at the background. Liv tries to cock the gun but she struggles against the tension of the springs. She pulls it with all her might and eventually cocks the gun. She also takes a stun gun from the drawer.

7 INT. LIVS HOUSE NIGHT Black screen. A sound of a beautiful piano music fades in slowly. We see Livs hands playing the piano gracefully. A gun and a picture frame are on top of the piano. Livs dead brothers head is still stuck under the piano hood. His body is hanging by his head. We hear the sound of an opening door. Footsteps echoes through the house. Livs dad arrives at home and sees Liv playing the piano. Livs dad notices the picture frame on the piano and Livs dead brother. Livs dad is about to scream at Liv but before he does, Liv stops playing the piano, grabs the gun and shoots her dad in the leg making him fall to the ground. Liv approaches her dad and hits him in the head with the butt of the gun leaving him unconscious.

Liv: Hoy, nood tayo last full show ng kahit anong movie tapos rice all you can. Gutom na ko. Kita tayo sa mall. Bilisan mo ah. Wait kita. Mwah. Bye.

Liv hangs up before Cieca could talk. After a few moments, we see Cieca coming out of her apartment. She enters her car and drives pass by Liv who is hiding in her dads car. Liv waits for Cieca to completely disappear then she parks the car in front of Ciecas apartment. Liv pulls her dad out of the car. Liv takes out a card from her wallet and swipes it under the door of Ciecas apartment revealing the backup key hidden under the door.

Page 61 of 79

10 INT. CIECAS FLAT NIGHT Livs dad is tied up on a chair in Ciecas room. He is regaining consciousness. Duct tape on his mouth is preventing him to speak. A cord is tied on his shot leg to prevent him from bleeding to death. Liv is standing in the middle of the room holding a picture frame, waiting for his dad to totally regain consciousness.

Liv: Hi, dad.

Liv walks toward her dad and puts the picture frame on her dads lap. Her dad looks at the photo on the frame and his eyes widen.

Liv: Moms dead. Apparently ang cause of death ay tinali niya sa ceiling fan yung lubid and she tied the other end to her neck. Oh wait. Mali. Ikaw pala ang COD. So I think thatll (referring to the girl in the photo) be legal. Its just a little bit pedo, dont you think?

We see the photo on the frame. Its Cieca and Livs dad. In the photo, they are both happy and sweet just like a lovely couple. Liv starts taking every picture frame with white photos from the wall and starts breaking every single one on the floor. All the
Page 62 of 79

photos in the frames are reversed and only the white back side of the photo can be seen. After breaking the frames, the photo underneath are revealed. Each photo has Cieca and Livs dad in it.

Liv: Kinuha mo lahat. Everything that was good for meeveryone that was good to meeverything that was good in me. Ginawa mo kaming robot. Ginawa mo akong robot na nakaprogram based on your selfish box of putangina! Are you listening to me? You pointed a gun on my fucking head! Your own daughter! Sinong matinong tatay ang gagawa nun? Ano ba ginawa ko sayo my sweet, sweet daddy? Eew. Thats disgusting. I just called you daddy. Anyway, kung kaya mo maging sweet at malambing sa putang to, bakit di mo yun magawa sa sarili mong pamilya? You really ARE sick arent you? Well guess what? It runs in the family.

Liv tries to calm down.

Liv: By the way, I killed your two apathetic junk at homeang kupad mo kasi eh. I hope youre proud of me. Yun ang isang bagay na nakuha ko sayo. Sweet din ako.

Page 63 of 79

Liv picks up the picture frame on her dads lap. She takes the photo inside and tears it into two pieces.

Liv: Tsk. Eto pa pala.

Livs dad struggles with all his might to untie himself and escape to stop Liv. Liv gets annoyed and smashes the picture frame shes holding on her fathers head.

VI C r e a m

1 INT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL NIGHT Cieca is regaining consciousness. We see her blurry POV. The sound of a hammer hitting a nail and a mans muffled screaming in pain fades in slowly. We see the small nails being driven
Page 65 of 79

into each of the mans toes with a hammer. Blood flows from the mans feet as we see the legs writhing in pain. Cieca tries to get up but she notices shes been tied up with multiple piano strings. She looks ahead and she sees Liv driving nails on the mans toes. Cieca looks to the man. Its Livs dad strapped on a chair. The piano strings binding Cieca is attached individually to each of Livs dads tooth. Liv notices Ciecas awake and stops driving nails.

Liv: Oops. Nagising ka ba namin? Ikaw kasi, daddy. Sabi ko sayo laging sumisigaw to eh. May basahan na nga sa lalamunan, ang ingay pa din.

We see Ciecas shocked and confused expression.

Cieca: ...daddy?

Liv gets a bottle of alcohol and washes her bloody hands with it. She then walks back to her dad.

Liv: Wait lang Cie, ha? Daddy, lagyan natin ng alcohol yang paa mo. Baka mainfect.

Page 66 of 79

She pours alcohol on her dads bleeding feet. His dad screams in pain. Liv is laughing softly as she empties the bottle of alcohol on her dad. Cieca starts to panic.

Cieca: Liv, tama na please!

Liv: Pagtatanggol mo pa ang gagong to?

Liv gets annoyed and draws her gun then fires a shot on her dads other leg. Liv is about to fire another shot then Cieca screams at her.

Cieca: Ano ba kasi nangyayari Olivia?!

Cieca breathes heavily then she cries. Liv stops momentarily with her back towards Cieca.

Liv (V.O.): The truth isnagseselos ako. Cieca is all I have. I can be myself in front of her. Siya lang ang may alam kung sino talaga ako. Looking at her now, she barely even recognizes me. Lagi na lang ako natatapon. Palaging tinatapon dahil sa putanginang tatay ko.

Page 67 of 79

Liv looks toward Cieca and sees her crying in anger and confusion.

Liv (V.O.): Thats the expression you give to a stranger and a person you really, really hate. Now, the only person I care forhates meni hindi na niya ko kilala

Liv gets mad. She turns toward her dad and points the gun to her dads head.

Liv: Ano bang ginawa sayo ng tarantadong tatay ko at mas pipiliin mo pa siya kesa sakin? Ano?!

Liv is halfway in pulling the trigger.

Cieca: Hes my dad!

A gunshot is heard. We see Livs dad with a bleeding ear. The bullet grazed his left ear. Hes writhing in pain and lets out a nasal scream. We see Liv with widened eyes. Shes still pointing the gun. The gun is still smoking from the last gunshot. Behind Liv, Cieca is crying. The shell of the bullet hits the ground

Page 68 of 79

and bounces in slow motion. Liv looks back in confusion, slowly towards Cieca.

Cieca: Hes my dad

Cieca starts to calm down. Her crying softens as her breathing starts to slow down.

Cieca: Liv, hindi ko alam kung ano nangyayari

Liv interrupts her.

Liv: Shut up.

Liv walks out the room with a face of disbelief and confusion.

2 EXT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL | ROOFTOP NIGHT Liv is on the rooftop. Shes crying so hard. She is kneeling down with her forehead on the floor. Her tears are flowing to the ground. Snot and saliva are also flowing from her face. She doesnt mind. She is in a total breakdown. She screams repeatedly as she cries while slamming the ground with her fists.
Page 69 of 79

Liv (V.O.): May mga bagay na akala mo nagkataon lang. May iba naman parang fate talaga. Bastos talaga ang coincidence. If life isnt a big accident then how the hell did I get here? Sometimes, everything falls into placejust to fall apart.

3 INT. COFFEE SHOP DAY Liv is finishing a cup of coffee in the background, bottom up. Cieca is putting sugar and creamer to her cup. We see the creamer turning the coffee from black to almost white.

4 EXT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL | ROOFTOP NIGHT Liv stops crying. She sits up. In front of her, a little girl is standing, blowing air into a white balloon. The inflating balloon blocks the little girls face. We see the back of the little girl as shes inflating the balloon. Liv is in the background looking at her. The little girl ties a string on the balloon. She ties the other end of the string to her neck. We see the lips of the little girl smiling. She lets go of the balloon. The balloon abruptly rises up, pulling the string, suffocating the little girl. We see the feet of the little girl rise up in midair. The feet are wriggling to death. Liv is at the background, staring at the girl. Livs expression is a
Page 70 of 79

mixture of smiling, laughing, and crying. She lies on the ground as she laughs while staring at the little girl as it flies upwards. The girl is too far up in the sky then the balloon pops. The little girl falls harshly flat to the ground. The sound of crushing bones is heard. Liv stops laughing. We see a close-up of Livs eyes staring blankly at the sky. A reflection of stars in the sky reflects on her eyes.

5 INT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL NIGHT Black screen.

Ciecas Voice: I dont want you to diebut you deserve all this

We see a close-up of their dad staring at the camera. He is in pain. Blood is flowing from his left ear. His face is wounded. A piece of cloth is stuck in his mouth preventing him to speak. The piano strings binding Cieca are attached to his teeth. His mouth is slightly bleeding. His face is covered in blood and sweat. His facial expression is a mixture of fear and anger.

Cieca: I thought youre working your ass off just to support me. Hindi ako nagreklamokahit mahirap mag-isakahit ang
Page 71 of 79

lungkot. I understood. Kasi alam kong naghihirap ka din para sakin. Now your daughter who happens to be my sister wants to kill us both. Its a bitbizarre dont you think?

Cieca laughs softly. We see Cieca looking at the floor. She is angry. She talks in a sarcastic tone.

Cieca: Talk about a good parent. Bakit ganun dad? Bakit ang sama mo sa kanya? Youre a two-facedbastard. Heads - a father that gave you freedom, money, everything you need but is never there with you. Tails - a father who overly disciplines his childwith a gun. Why dad? Pano mo nagagawa kay Liv yun? It never really came to my mind that you are the same person.

Cieca laughs out loud.

Cieca: Why the hell am I even using the word dad? I dont even know you anymore. Pano ko malalaman kung sino ka talaga? Anong side mo ang totoo? Kahit minsan lang tayo magkasama, you were so nice to meso nice that Liv mistook me for your whore. Tapos ngayon, malalaman ko na may kapatid ako? Kapatid na sinasaktan mo araw araw? God, what is this

Page 72 of 79

We see Liv sitting behind a wall, listening to their conversation. She stands up and appears to them.

Liv: Cant find a restroom.

Liv sits down beside Cieca and she pees, dowsing Cieca in piss.

Liv: Ang galing lang no? Kahit gano kalaki ang problema mo, kahit pasan mo ang buong mundo, mas mabigat pa din ang bladder ng tao. Kahit anong problema pa yan, pag naiihi ka na, pag-ihi pa din ang ipaprioritize mo. Imagine, you broke up with someone you really love tapos youll cry all night pero pag naiihi ka na, you stop crying and go to the restroom. Lalo na pag nasa bus ka. Mageemote ka sa tabi ng bintana ng bus, staring at the setting sunorange skiesnostalgic memoriestapos naiihi ka bigla. Funny, isnt it?

Liv finishes up. She stands up. Cieca and her dad are just staring at her.

Liv: So hows the family reunion? Napahiya ako dun ah. I was about to call you mommy when I should be calling you ate. Doesnt make anything right, though. Right, dad?

Liv takes out her stun gun and dips it in the pool of piss surrounding Cieca. She makes sure shes not standing on a wet surface. She activates the stun gun and electricity flows through Cieca. She writhes violently in pain. The piano strings attached to their fathers teeth are being pulled as Cieca moves violently. We see their dads teeth being pulled out one by one. Liv stops electrocuting Cieca in small intervals just to prevent her from dying or passing out. Blood flows from their dads mouth. Cieca is screaming in pain. Most of their dads teeth fall off including the piece of cloth stuck in their dads throat. Liv stops. Her stun gun broke. Cieca and her dad breathe heavily. We hear their dad trying to mumble something but is barely understandable.

Livs Dad: Tangina ka. wag mo saktan ang anak ko.

Liv frowns. She stands up. She looks at her dad in the eye. Liv has a blank stare. She takes her gun and points it to her dad and fires 3 bullets in rapid succession. She doesnt even blink. All three bullets lands on her dads face killing him. We see Cieca lying on the floor. Her face is in the pool of piss. Her eyes wide, staring at her dad. She starts to scream and cry. Liv

puts down her gun. She looks towards Cieca. Liv just stares at her. The faint light coming from outside makes Ciecas tears sparkle. Her cry echoes to the room. Livs blank expression shows a hint of sadness. She focuses on Ciecas tears.

6 EXT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL | ROOFTOP NIGHT We see a close-up of Livs eyes. A reflection of the sky full of stars is seen on her eyes. We see Liv lying on the rooftop. We see the sky filled with stars.

7 EXT. GRASS FIELDS DAY Liv is sitting on the grass under an umbrella. The sun is scorching. Beside her, we see a camera on a tripod pointed to the sky. She applies sun block on her skin and face.

7A EXT. GRASS FIELDS DAY The camera is still pointed to the sky. The sky already has an orange glow. Liv is slapping all over her body trying to kill mosquitoes.

7B EXT. GRASS FIELDS - NIGHT

Liv is sleeping on the grass. She wakes up. The moment she opens her eyes, we see stars being reflected on it. We see the sky filled with stars.

8 INT. ABANDONED HOSPITAL NIGHT We see tears falling from Livs cheeks. Liv picks up and embraces the weakened Cieca. She kisses her in the lips as she points the gun on Ciecas head. Both girls are flowing with tears. Liv stops kissing her with her forehead still on Ciecas.

Liv: Naaalala mo yung sinabi ko dati? Yung God slayer ang pagibig? Dahil sa love pati Diyos namataybuti na lang Diyos Siya. Tao lang ako.

Liv puts her lips on Ciecas for the last time and shoots herself in the head instead with the last bullet of the gun (a Walther PPK holds 7 bullets. She fired 2 on her dads leg, 1 on his ear, 3 on his face leaving him dead) since she couldnt bring herself to kill her. Livs dead body slowly falls to the ground, dropping her gun, revealing Ciecas shocked expression. Cieca stays shocked for a few moments and tears slowly fall from her widened eyes. Her shocked face melts into a sorrowful and agonized expression. She cries out loud, screaming her lungs

out. We see from a top view the dead body of their dad strapped on a chair on a pool of blood. Livs dead body on Ciecas lap starts pouring blood from the bullet hole on her head. Cieca continues crying. Fade to black.

Ciecas Voice: Naranasan mo na ba managinip...?

VII E p i l o g u e

1 INT. HOSPITAL | ICU DAY The sound of medical apparatus is heard. A girl wakes up from a coma. We see her POV of a white ceiling.

Ciecas Voice: managinip tungkol sa pag-gising?

The timelapse film of the sky that Liv shot for Ciecas birthday crossfades to the ceiling. Credits starts to roll.

THE END

Page 77 of 79

We see Liv during the time shes shooting the timelapse film for Ciecas birthday as the credits roll. The video is accompanied by sad music, an audio of an opening door and dialog.

Livs Dads Voice: Bakit ngayon ka lang? Alas otso na, kanina pa tinatawagan yang telepono mo, putangina hindi ka makontak?!

Livs Voice: Ang hirap po sumakay eh. Strike ang buses. Nalowbat na po yung cell phone ko.

Livs Dads Voice: Putangina mo ka, magdadahilan ka pa? Mapapatay kitang hayop ka! Gago ka, babarilin kitang bata ka! Pinag-aalala mo kami dito, magtetext ka lang di mo pa magawa?! Naku, mapapatay kita!

A gunshot is heard along with the sound of shattering glasses and impact of metal against wood.

Livs Dads Voice: Babarilin kitang putangina ka!

The credits continue to roll as Liv continues to shoot a timelapse video of the sky at the grass field.
