THE WORLD IS AN APPLE

I played the role of Pablo in Alberto S. Florentino's "The World is an Apple" during my freshmen year in highschool. Raesa was the one who played the role of Gloria and Alfred was Mario. I tried recalling some of the lines and the scenes from play and these are some of my favorite lines:

Hmmmmmm. How romantic!

You haven’t changed a bit Gloria…not a bit.

You’re still that same woman who cursed me to hell because I happened to be Mario’s friend long before you met him. Time has not made you any kinder to me. You still hate me, don’t you?

Well, if you hate my face so much, you don’t have to pay me back. Take it as a gift.

How can you be so sure? When he and I were pals we could go to first-class air-conditioned movie houses every other day. I’ll bet all the money I have here now that he has not been to one since you “liberated” him from me. And that was almost four years ago.

What is honest money? Does it look better than dishonest money? Does it buy more? Or honesty? What is it? Dressing like that? Staying in this dungeon you call a house? Is that what you so beautifully call “honesty?”

See what happened to your daughter. That is what honesty has done to her. And how can honesty help her now? She’s not sick and she needs no medicine. You know that. You know very well what she needs: food. Good food. She’s undernourished, isn’t she?

You call this living? This Gloria is what you call dying— dying slowly—minute by minute.

Yeah, the world is indeed an apple. With its worms and all.
