Typical TV Night or Battle of the Brainless
Anna (my sister): Ches, what's that?
C: Casanova. Insert long drawn-out summary of its convoluted plot kasi nasa seond half na yung film.
Enter Papa
P: What's that?
C & A: Casanova.
P: What's it about?
C: I don't wanna tell you because you're so slow. (Background: My father is a smart person but not so very good in following plot lines of non-war pictures. Every few minutes or so into a comedy, we would have to explain to him why a line is contextually funny).
P: Try me.
C: Ayoko. Basta kay Heath Ledger and Oliver Platt yan. And that guy! Sikat yan e. (Referring to the villain-inquisitor).
P: Oo, sikat. Sikatchupoy.
C&A: Haha, very funny.
C: Hmm, is that John Malkovich?
P: Hinde!
P: O eto, clue: yung last name niya galing sa ilalim ng lupa.
C: Uhm, "Underground?"
A: Uhm... "Worm?"
P: Eto pa, minsan kailangan ng katawan.
C: Ah! "Coffin?"
A: "Worm nga!"
P: Pambihira! Sige, sige. Rhymes with............ Jerry Pons.
C&A: Sinong Jerry Pons?!?!
P: Di niyo kilala yun? Matandang comedian...
C&A: Hindi namin siya kilala.
P: O sige, yung initials niya, ka-initials ng isang notorious terrorist group in Mindanao.
C: Abu Sayyaf... A.S.?
A: Jemaah Islamiyah... J.I. Aha! Jeremy Irons!!!!!
P: Correct!
A: Alam ko na yun e! Na-off track lang ako sa John Malkovich ni Chesa...
