"Oo, dumeretso siya ng Corinthian galing ng airport. Galit na galit iyon sa iyo, inagawan mo raw siya ng girlfriend. Kayong magkapatid, parang nauubusan na kayo ng babaeng hahabulin, ah! Hindi ako naniniwala sa gayuma pero kailangan ko na sigurong kausapin ang advisers ko para sa opinyon nila." "Dad, don't you think love is the most powerful spell in the history of humankind? You feel the force, you see it from the perspective of your heart, you heard it form your brain, yet you can't touch it without that someone you cherish. And love is the kind of spell that has no antidote, that's why it's hard to resist it." "And you are becoming sentimental, Son, it's scary."
