Inumin nyo muna yan at titingnan ko muna si Kikay kung ayos na. Makinig
kayo, andyan na si Kikay... Pero tandaan nyo, sya na ngayon si Fran-Ces-ca!
(Kikay Appears, garved in a trailing gown trimmed with fur at the neck and
hemline. From one hand she dangles a large silk handkerchief which she keeps
waving about as she walks and talks. In the other hand she carries a cigarette.
Kikays manner and appearance are... to use a hollywood expression Chi-chi
like mad.)
KIKAY
(Having paused a long moment in the doorway, hands uplifted in surprise and
delight.)
Oh, hello, hello... you darling, darling people!
(She glides into the room. Everybody is too astonished to move.) Nena, My
dear, but how cute you have become! (Kisses Nena) And Tony, dear boy, how
are you... (gives her hand to Tony) And Totoy, why you look like a Tondo
superproduction Totoy, how does one say in TagalogIn Technicolor! Halika
dito. (Totoy rolls his eyes at Kikay) But sit down everybody... Do sit down and
let me look at you!
Oh, Mumsy, Mumsy!
MRS. M
KIKAY
But how many times must I tell you ba, Mumsy to never to serve fruit juice in
water glasses!
MRS. M
Tsk, tsk, hayaan mo na. Water glasses or beverage glasses all the same,
pareho!
KIKAY
Oh my poor lil mumsy... Shes so clumsy, no? But never mind, Dearest, dont
break your heart about it. Here, sit down.
MRS. M
KIKAY
Oh really mumsy, dont forget my celery. (to visitors) I cant live without
celery! You know Im like a rabbit, munch munch all day!
MRS. M
Hayaan nyo muna ako... Tony, ipaalala mo ako sa ina mo ha, hane, at gusto ko

KIKAY
(With emotion checking her voice) Yes, I feel as if I were still there, as though I
had never left it, as though I had lived there all my life. But I look around me...
( looks at guest )... and I realize that no, Im not there... Im not in New York ...
Im right here in Tondo...
TOTOY
Anong Tan-Doe?
NENA
KIKAY
Im home, they tell me. But this cannot be home, because my heart aches
with homesickness. I feel like an exile. My spirit aches for its true home across
the sea. Ah, New York, New York. My own dear New York. Listen! Its springtime
there now. Oh, we have a funny custom. When spring comes around each
year, we New Yorkers, we make a sort of pilgrimage to an old tree growing
down the Battery. Oh! We New Yorkers call it Our Tree In a way, that tree is
our own symbol for New York.
(She is silent for a moment. Her visitors glance uneasily at each other. Kikay
laughs and makes an apologetic gesture.) But please forgive me! Here I am
going sentimental and just mooning away over things you have no idea about.
No, you cant understand this emotion I feel for our own dear New York...

Samin oo. Atsaka angsaya kaya. Gusto ko nga ulit balikan e. (Immitating
Kikays tone and manner) Do you know about Kikay na ba? Omg she has a
funny custom! ahahaha. Hindi mo ba naiintindihan kung gaano kahalaga sa
buhay natin yun? Yung punong yun ay hindi lang puno kundi naging parang isa

(Earnestly) Exactly! Our tree in New York, doesnt stand for Kidstuff and
childhood foolishness! It stands for a vivacious, more streamlined, a more
daring way of life! In short, it stand for higher and finer things! Oh, how I miss
the Manhattan skyline, the Coney Island in summer. The Madison Square
Garden, the Bronx Zoo, The fifth avenue and for all the darling dens in
Greenwich village. Oh, its impossible for you to see.

Forget??
KIKAY
Thats the New York way, Tony. Forget, nothing must ever too serious; nothing

when you meet again, smile, shake hands just good sports..
TONY
KIKAY
TONY
Kailan?
KIKAY
When you and I got engaged. Ive changed so much since then, Tony.
TONY
KIKAY
To me, it seems a century. So much had happened to me. More can happen to
you in just one year in New York .
TONY
Makinig ka, wala akong pakielam sa New York na yan Gusto kong pagusapan yung engagement.
KIKAY
TONY
Bakit hindi?
KIKAY
Tony, you got engaged to a girl named Kikay. Well, that girl doesnt exist
anymore. Patay na sya! The person you see before you is Francesca. Dont you
see, Tony, Im a stranger to you. I hate to hurt you, but surely you see that
there can be no more talk of an engagement between us. And as for
marriage...(laughs) .... Imagine mo, a New Yorker, marrying a Tondo Boy!!! It's
so insane!!
TONY
(Blazing) Teka...
KIKAY
(Very Tolerantly) Im sorry if Ive hurt you Tony. But I wanted you to realize how
ridiculous it could be to think that I could still be engaged to you.
TONY
KIKAY
Hush, tony, Hush! Dont shout! Dont lose your temper... its so uncivilized.
People in New York dont lose their temper. Not people of the Haute made
anyway.
TONY

Patuloy ka pang aasa na mababago mo pa ang nakaraan pero hindi na!
Masasaktan ka lang sa bandang huli! Wala na tayong pag-asa. Gayun pang
