AJ and Kayla Conclusion: >>Kuya Mark Note: Dun sa conclusion, pakidagdag na lang yun points ni Littlejohn. Yung nasa script kasi ay puro kay Griffin. Criticism of Two Theories: >>Mon (sfx: Im Walking on Sunshine GLEE ) *fading effect* Mon: (super happy) Hwooohooo!! At last, the most awaited day has arrived. I cant believe it. My dream company. (giggles) OrCommunicologists National Corp., here I come!!! (enters building) (ineptly bumps into Marc, who caught Mon before hitting the pavement) Mon: Owwww! (distressed) (sfx: We Found Love - Rihanna) *10 seconds* Marc: (guilty) I am sorry. Im really really sorry, miss. Mon: Its okay. Im fine. (aalis na dapat si Marc pero biglang tatawagin ni Mon) Mon: Hmmm. Wait. Can I ask you something? Marc: Sure. Mon: Hmmm. Do you know where the OC104 office is? Marc: Yes. Ahmmm. Just use the elevator. 4th floor. Turn left and bingo!. Mon: Oh! Th..ank you (thinking) Marc: Oh, by the way, Im Marc. Mon: And Im Monica. Marc: Oh. So do you have any appointment at OC104 office? ----MARIZ AND BEA ---Bea: Shiz! Nakita ko na to! Foreign movies. Local movies. Oh cmon mamon. The most common plot in the movies! I have a feeling magiging close sila. Mariz: Talaga?

Bea: Oo naman! Mariz: ... (thinking) Bea: Oh bakit ka natigilan? Dont tell me kinikilig ka na kaagad sa scene na yun? Mariz: No! I remembered something. I think theres a reason why movies have common themes. Bea: Themes? Spill. Mariz: I read Littlejohn and Griffins book. Theres what we call Social Penetration Theory, which was proposed by Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor. Bea: Oooooh. I know that theory. It explains how the relational closeness develops. Ganun ba yung ibig mo sabihin? Mariz: Yes. Sabi pa nila, social penetration is a process of developing deeper intimacy with another person through mutual self-disclosure and other forms of vulnerability. Bea: So, para mo na ring sinabi na may posibilidad na tama nga yun hinala ko? Mariz: Yes, iyon ay kung sasagot si Icay sa tanong ni Marc na maaring magsimula ng lahat. Bea: Oooh. Lets see. ----- MON and MARC----Mon: Actually, doon kasi yung bagong office ko. Marc: Really? So Youre the new head of Comm. Department? Mon: Fortunately, yes. You? Marc: Im the head of Marketing department. Magkatabi lang ang office natin. Mon: Really? Its good to know. At least, may kakilala na ako dito. Marc: Actually, papunta na rin ako dun pero may kukuhanin lang ako sa main desk. If okay lang sa yo, sabay na tayo umakyat. Mon: Sure! ----BEA AND MARIZ--Bea: See? I told you! Doon nagsisimula ang lahat eh! Nagkakilala sila tapos siyempre magiging close sila, aalamin nila yung tungkol sa isat isa. Suz! I sooo know it! Ayaw pa pabilisin eh! Mariz: Bea, theres a process for everything. Alam mo ba doon sa Social Penetration, they compare the personality of a person to an onion. It says that beliefs and feelings about self, others, and the world; deeper layers are more vulnerable, protected, and central to self-image. Bea: So you mean, kung ano man yun magiging impression nila sa isat isa or what they see is the public self of that person? So habang nagiging close sila, yun sa sinasabing mong onion, pag tinatanggal yun layers mas nagiging private yun malalaman nila tungkol sa isat isa? Mariz: Exactly! And kung ano man yun ipapakita ni Icay sa kanyang subordinates, thats how she is as a boss. But there are things that may be exposed to Marc will not be exposed to her subordinates/other co-workers, but it will undergo a long process and if she will choose Marc to be her close friend. Who knows?

Bea: Oh. Lets see. ----MARC AND MON--Mon: (maraming binabasa na papers sa desk) Marc: Hey! Busy? Mon: Yes. I have deadliest deadlines to meet. Marc: Ohhh. (glances on his watch). Its already lunch time. Hindi magandang magtrabaho ng walang energy. Mon: (titingin kay Marc at mag-iisip) Marc: Cmon. Just for an hour. Dont worry, my treat. (smiles) Mon: Hmmmm Alright. Lets go. (Kayla and Ajs moment) Kayla: AJ. AJ: Yes, maam? Kayla: Whos that girl? AJ: Oh. Shes the new head of Comm. Department, maam. Kayla: Head? (biglaang maiinis) How did she get that position? I mean did she have enough experience? her educational background? AJ: Maam, I heard shes an OrCom major at UP Manila. I also heard that before she got that position, she worked in P&G, conducted different seminars, and joined conferences. Thats why she qualified for the position. Thats the only info that we know. Kayla: Intriguing huh. Seems like theyre close already. (restaurant) (parang may pinag-uusapan kayo na hindi pinakita sa scene) Marc: (laughs) Grabe. Ang mean mo naman sa kin! Did I do something wrong? Mon: Nope. Corny ka lang talaga! Marc: So, if okay lang sa yo, tell me something about you, I mean your hobbies, your interest. All I know about you is in your resume. Mon: Hobbies? Hmmm. I love reading Journal Articles, you know. Its more fun reading journal articles. (giggles). Just kidding. Marc: Look whos talking. Ikaw ang corny. Mon: Seriously, I love dancing and travelling. I love food thats why I want to go to different places. I also want to visit European countries, especially France and Vatican City. Marc: Vatican City? Why? Mon: Yes. Im a religious person. Marc: Oh well, anyway, since you love food, I have jokes for you. Mon: Sige nga. Marc: Manok ba nanay mo? Mon: Hindi. Bakit?

Marc: Kasi nangitlog siya ng chicks tulad mo eh. Mon: Sows. Akala mo ikaw lang? Wait meron ako for you ICE BUKO? Marc: Huh?? Ano ba dapat sagot ko dun? Mon: Wala lang. Yun kasi yung madalas na tinatanong ng mga babae pagkatapos magsuklay eh. Marc and Mon: (laugh) ---MARIZ AND BEA--Mariz: Now! Theyre starting to become close through self-disclosure. Monica gave information that was somehow semi-private. You can also see that they became comfortable; theyre giving jokes or punch-lines. Bea: So thats the process. Were now actually seeing the depth of penetration. Mariz: In other words, the degree of intimacy. According to Altman and Taylor, as cited in Griffin, Peripheral items are exchanged more frequently and sooner than private information. As you can notice, there was still some information that Monica didnt say. And the first part of it was all about about impersonal level. Bea: I think theres3 more levels right? Mariz: Yes. Lets see if it will happen. (pauwi na) Marc: Mon arent you going home? Mon: Later. You? Marc: Yes. Hmmm. Why? Waiting for someone? (biglang papasok si Kayla) Kayla: Marc! Are you going home? Why are you still here? Sabay na tayo. Marc: Hmmm. Nope. Go ahead. Kayla: Are you sure? (parang may selo, inggit) Marc: Yes. Take care! Ill see you tomorrow. Mon: It seems like you two are close. Marc: Yeah. Before. Shes my ex-girlfriend. Mon: Oh. I see. Sorry. Marc: Its okay. Its been a while. People change, right? That moment when you suddenly feel that theres something wrong. You gave everything but it didnt work. We cannot understand each other anymore. Oh well, anyway. Who are you waiting for? Boyfriend? Mon: Actually, my sister. We will go to hospital. Marc: Why? Mon: Family matters. My mom needs to undergo a surgery. Shes been in the hospital for one month. We also need to talk to our dad. Everything seems so complicated. ----MARIZ AND BEA----

Mariz: Thats the second and third stage of social penetration. Bea: Yes. Second stage. Law of reciprocity. Marc opened about Kayla and Mon said something about her family. Its exchanging of information. You tell me your dream, Ill tell you mine. It also said that they somehow reach equal levels of openness. Give-andtake, right? Mariz: But according to third stage, penetration is rapid at the start but slows down quickly as the tightly wrapped inner layers are reached. Tingan mo na lang yun mga bagay na medaling sagutin, nasasabi kaagad nila. Per0 habang nagiging malalim na yung t0pic nila, they have difficulties in telling the whole details. Like the exact reason for their separation and the real state of Mons mother. Bea: And I remember, because of this, the relationship may fade or die easily. ---MON AND MARC--Marc: Good morning, Mon. (smiles) Mon: Hey. (titingnan lang siya pero hindi ngingiti) Marc: Whats wrong? Why are you like that? Hindi ka naman ganyan dati ah? Nitong mga nakaraang araw, hindi na tayo sabay kumain, hindi mo na rin ako masyadong kausap. Mon: Hmmm. Lumulugar lang ako. Yes, were co-workers, friends but theres still a limitation. I mean, professionalism. Im doing this not because there are other things to consider. We can still be friends but we should also maintain professionalism. ---BEA AND MARIZ--Bea: Heartbreaker. Tsk. Tsk. So thats the last stage, right? Depenetration or the gradual process of layer-by-layer withdrawal Mariz: It is a relational retreat or taking back what has been exchanged in the building of relationship. There are many factors to consider for a person to do it. It is not actually a sudden termination of relationship; it is in a gradual cooling off enjoyment and care. Moreover, if theres depth of penetration, theres also a breadth of penetration. It is also important because the range of areas in an individuals life over which disclosure takes place. We will switch sa talk show. Parang feeling ko kasi ang haba masyado nun. Bea: You know I remember another theory that is somehow related to Social Penetration. Mariz: Yes. I know theres also another one. But I dont know if someone can help us or give some insights about that theory. AJ: Hey! Kayla: Do guys have problem? Mariz: You aa.re Kayla: Yeah, I know. Im the ex-girlfriend in the movie

AJ: Me? Dakilang subordinate. Kayla: You know guys we can help you. Bea: Really? So guys, share it. AJ: Its Social exchange theory that was proposed by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley. According to them, relationship behavior and status regulated by both parties evaluations of perceived rewards and costs of interaction with each other. In other words, the relationship that you will establish with other people depends on the reward that will get from them and the cost of your interaction. Kayla: It has three concepts stability --- the relational outcome, relational satisfaction, and relational stability. It suggests that people try to predict the outcome of an interaction before it takes place. Outcome pertains to the perceived rewards minus the costs of the interpersonal interaction. Mariz: So how can we relate that theory to the movie we watched earlier? Kayla: Lets just say that at first, Monica had no idea that she and Marc will be friends. When they started the conversation or hanging out with another, she might think that it had benefits for her. Because she was new employee, she needed companion. And because the reward is bigger than the cost, its okay to establish the relationship. AJ: In organizations, for example, the merging of two companies. In merging, two companies will absolutely exchange information with one another, maybe at first, its not healthy for the company because the secret of each company will be revealed but if that exchange will promote greater income or will generate greater reward, then good for them. For example, Lionsgate, the studio behind The Hunger Games the movie bought Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight Saga the movie. Summit is good in international theatrical distribution and Lions Gate focuses on home entertainment and TV. S, typically, it is uniting of two powerful entertainment brands. Kayla: Its like the logic of John Stuart Mill, Minimax principle of human behavior. People maximize the benefits and minimize their costs. AJ: (Paki-tackle na lang sa part na ito yung CL---gauging relational satisfaction at CLalt---gauging relational stability. Summary lang ang kailangan. Hindi na kasi ako msyado makapgtype gawa ng masakit na yung daliri ko.) --conclusion --criticism --end
