Pinay, American Style


It pays to amuse yourself with Pinoy artistry when there's nothing else to do on a cold night. Good thing there's Mabuhay Channel in Toronto, I get nothing less than channels 5, 9, and 13 shows. What more can I ask for? I wonder why Sweet's Blind Item hasn't been nominated for Star Awards, what with their very original schemes? And, oh yeah, Chow Time helps me burn calories by making me break wind every 5 seconds. So last night I layed down to be entertained by a 1979 Vilma Santos movie, Pinay, American Style. Oh boy, I was really tickled pink! I don't really remember the actual dialogues, but it went something like these:

(Vilma as Px talking to Bembol Roco after a free dinner of dilis)
Px: Kanina, pinangako ko sa sarili ko na ibibigay ko katawan ko, may makain lang ako. Ngayon, eto , KAININ MO KO!

(Px talking to Cocoy Laurel her fiance)
Cocoy: Px, akin ka lang!
Px: Sayo lang ako? Eh, ikaw? Sa akin ka lang ba? Kung pwede kang kumalkal nang kung sinu-sino, pwes mangkakalkal din ako!

Aren't those lines so Palancaish? I'm sure Ate Vi remembers those lines for all the wrong reasons.
