Elementary – It Wasn’t Me! Akala ko… (The Jhun-Bing-Mak Love Triangle II)
15 12 2008
We love confrontations, and this is the confrontation to end all confrontations. Jhunjhun (with bolo in hand) finally catches up with Bingbing and they have a heated talk on the alleged kissy-kissy with Makmak. Cris and Mickey listen in as an unexpected twist unfolds.
A: Bingbing! Kasama mo raw si Makmak?!
B: Hah? Hindi ako iyon!
A: Nakakasuka ka. Bruha.
B: Sinasabi ko sa iyo… HINDI AKO IYON!
A: Kung hindi ikaw, sino?!
B: Si… si Bengbeng, yung kambal ko. Akala ko… akala ko patay na siya.
A:Bingbing! I heard you were with Makmak?!
B: Huh? That wasn’t me!
A: You make me vomit. Witch.
B: I’m telling you! It wasn’t me!
A: If it wasn’t you, who was it then?
B: It was… it was Bengbeng, my twin. I thought… I thought she was dead!
