Slay the Dragon/Transcript

(Inggo is seen playing the guitar, humming to himself, while Karen is asleep)

Karen: Ah, what a beautiful morning! (stretches) Good morning, Inggo!

Inggo: Ahem. Ah! Good moerning, Karen! ''Gutom ka nga? Ha? Yan.''

Karen: Are you okay, Inggo? You seem ham-handed. Whoa.

(The word "ham-handed" appears in yellow)

Inggo: Ham? Damu tu, e? Tulog ka pa, no?

Karen: Inggo, when I say you're ham-handed, I mean to say that you're clumsy.

(the word 'clumsy' appears in blue)

Karen: Look at you! Look at this! Ooh!

(a woman walks by, prompting Inggo to hide)

Inggo: Oooooh...

Karen: Slay the dragon, Inggo.

(The words "Slay the dragon" appear in yellow)

Inggo: Dragon?! Where?! Where?!

Karen: No, no, no, it's just an idiomatic experession.

(The words 'Idiomatic Expressions' appear in yellow, with a rooster's call)

Karen: Come on out, I'll explain it to you. Come, come. Come! Okay now, the dragon is like, your fear. So, when I say 'slay the dragon',

(The words "Slay the dragon" appear in yellow again)

Karen: I mean to overcome your fear.

(The words "Slay the dragon" get replaced with 'overcome your fears' in blue)

Inggo: Ang labo naman nun!

Karen: An idiom is an expression. You have to understand the words as a whole, and not word for word.

(The words 'Idiom = expression (not word for word)' appear, with 'Idiom' in yellow)

Inggo: You mean, I cannot understand the meaning from each word.

Karen: Exactly, you have to join the words together to express a thought.

Inggo: Then, I have a really big dragon to beat!

Karen: Ooh, Inggo, Inggo! There she is again!

(Inggo hides again, using his hat)

???: Hi, Inggo!

Inggo: (quietly) Hi!

(the transition used now is a doodle showing a stickfigured dragon and its slayer)

(Inggo is seen trying different clothes, but it fails to impress Karen, Joy, and Chito)

Everyone: Better!

(thunder claps)

Karen: Thunder and lightning! Oh, it looks like it's going to rain cats and dogs!

(the words "raining cats and dogs" appear in yellow)

Inggo: ''Ano pang hinibhintay mo dyan? Delikado dyan?''

Joy: What are you doing under the table, Inggo? It's just thunder and lightning!

Inggo: Woo! It's just anohter one of your idiomatic expressions. I still don't understand how it works!

(The words 'Idiomatic Expressions' appear in yellow again)

Karen: Because every word in the expression "it's raining cats and dogs" means something, but, by-

(the words "raining cats and dogs" appear in yellow)

Inggo: By putting together the meaning of the words?

Karen: You can understand the expression!

Inggo: Ah, and-And you also mentioned something about thunder and lightning, mm-hmm?

Everyone: Context clues!

(the word 'Context Clues' appear in yellow)

Inggo: Ah! I get it. You mean to tell me, I can get the meaning of the idiom from the other words or sentences!

(the words 'Context Clues = get the meaning from other words or sentences' appear, with 'Context Clues' in yellow again)

Karen: Right, Inggo, from context clues. You remembered, Inggo!

Inggo: So, when you tell me, 'it's going to rain cats and dogs', you mean heavy rain!

(The words "raining cats and dogs" get replaced with 'heavy rain' in blue)

Inggo: But, may problema na din.

Everyone: What now?

Inggo: Cats and dogs, it's like a sign.

Karen: Oh, no, it's not!

Inggo: It's like something is stopping me from approaching her!

Karen: Oh, you're being superstitious, Inggo! Ah, flowers (gets flowers), umbrella (gets umbrella). Now, take these! Slay the dragon, Inggo!

(The words "Slay the dragon" appear in yellow)

Karen: Bring home the bacon.

(The words "bring home the bacon" appear in yellow)

Inggo: Bacon?! I'm not going to the market-

Karen: Ah, ah! Idiomatic! 'Bring home the bacon' means 'win her over'!

Inggo: Hmm. Idiomatic Expressions. Got it!

(the words 'Idiomatic Expressions' appear in yellow)

Karen: Go! Now, go! Go!

Boy&Joy: Break a leg!

(The words "break a leg" appear in yellow)

Karen: Which means to 'do your best'!

(The words "break a leg" get replaced with 'do your best' in blue)

Everyone: Idiomatic Expressions!

(the words 'Idiomatic Expressions' appear in yellow)

(transition)

(thunder claps again, while Inggo strides woefully)

Joy: O, Inggo, nabasa ka ng ulan?

Boy: What happened to your umbrella?

Karen: You might get sick!

Inggo: I gave my umbrella to Aling Joleng. She forgot to bring her own when she went to the market.

Karen: So, I guess, uh, you didn't give that to her.

(Inggo cries)

Karen: Are you okay, Inggo?

Inggo: I don't see the point! (smashes plants) She will never like me! She will not even look at me! I will never be good enough!

Karen: Of course not, Inggo! You have to believe in yourself! The answer is right under your nose.

(the words "right under your nose" appear in yellow)

Karen: Look at you! Look at you! You're-you're a good person! You're fun to be with, right?!

Joy: And caring!

Chito: And thoughtful! And kind!

Karen: See, you see? Look at that!

Inggo: You saw all that under my nose?

Karen: Oh, Inggo!

Inggo: Bakit na kasi may idioms pa?

Karen: Why, it's a characteristic style, as in art, as in music.

(thunder claps)

Inggo: Parang, ano, parang pampaganda ng salita-

Joy: Parang mga kulay na tininta sa isang larawan.

Boy: Or the melody of a song.

Karen: Right. Idioms give grace and beauty to the language and give color to the meanings of the word.

(thunder claps)

Inggo: So, ''alam ko na! Hahangarin ko lang siya!''

Karen: You will sing?

Inggo: Of course not. I will dance. Of course I will sing! Why, what's wrong with my voice?

(thunder claps)

Inggo: All right, maybe it will take some practice. 🎵 Ikaw ang true love 🎵

(transition)

Inggo: When I see you, this is how it feels. I am on pins and needles, nervous and uneasy.

(The words "pins and needles" get replaced with 'nervous and uneasy' in blue)

Inggo: I get the chills. I fear you might give me a cold shoulder, meaning that you don't care and I'd wonder.

(The words "cold shoulder" get replaced with 'you don't care' in blue)

Inggo: I'd walk each day with a heavy heart; sorrow and pain fills my heart.

(The words "heavy heart" get replaced with 'being sad' in blue)

Inggo: But I have to slay the dragon, face my fears, and beat them down!

(The words "slay the dragon" get replaced with 'face my fears' in blue)

Inggo: This is what I will do: draw flowers with my green thumb,

(The words "green thumb" in yellow)

Inggo: and give them all to you, hoping friendship will soon bloom between me and you. Mmm.

(transition)

(Inggo is seen alone on a swing for two)

Inggo: ''Kumusta ka nga? Ayos. Ayos. (laughs) Ah. Noon naman yon.''

Delia: The air really smells nice after the rain.

(record scratch, with Inggo slowly turning his head)

Delia: Oh, sorry, did I bother you? Are you all right? Hello...

(Inggo grins and faints)

Delia: Inggo...Inggo.

(the scene then fades to Karen, Chito, and Joy)

Karen: Inggo! Inggo! Now, where could he be?

Joy: Well, you said 'bring home the bacon'.

(the words 'bring home the bacon' appear in yellow)

Joy: Maybe he went to the market.

Boy: (laughs) That was just an idiom.

Joy: Konti lang ko kasi ang alam kong idiom, e.

(Karen pats her)

Joy: Ano pang ibig sabihin ng 'bring home the bacon'?

Karen: 'Bring home the bacon' means when he comes home, he has done what he has set out to do.

(The words "bring home the bacon" get replaced with 'achieve success' in blue)

Joy: Nakalito minsan ang mga idiom, no?

Boy: Kasi, iiisip paagad naman ang ibig sabihin ng bawat salita.

Karen: Like I said earlier, it's an expression. You have to understand it as a whole, not word for word.

(The words 'Idiom = expression (not word for word)' appear, with 'Idiom' in yellow)

Inggo: Karen! Karen! I did it!

Karen: Inggo! Yes! Wow, congratulations! How did you did it? Now tell me, what did you do?

Inggo: Nakausap mu lang siya!

Boy&Joy: Really?

Karen: Oh, you see?

Inggo: ''Ang dali lang pala. Akala ko isa lang siyang panaginip, tapos, noon nakita siya, biglang ko hinimatay. Tapos, noon nagkamalay ako, biglang nakita ko, ang dun pari siya! O, sana, itong nagumpisa ng aming napagandang pagkakaibigan.''

Joy: Hu''y, nadagdagan naman ang kaibigan ni Inggo. Yes.''

Boy: Nakadagdag rin ang idiomatic expressions naalam natin.

Karen: Now, that's really great.

Inggo: Slaying the dragon has made me really hungry. I could eat a whole carabao!

(Karen looks at him)

Karen: Huh?

Inggo: Ah, a cow.

Karen: Mmm.

Inggo: A chicken?

Karen: Mmm.

Inggo: A horse? Uh, flowers? Ahhh. ''Tapos, and dagdagan niya! tapos ang ganda-ganda niiya! Ang bango-bango! Tapos nakita siya sabi rsa akn'' 'Hello, Inggo.' AAAYYYY!

(everyone laughs)
