“"Pinagtripan ka lang! Victim ka, kapatid," sagot ni Earl. Hindi nagalit si Carlos kay Earl. Pero gustong umiyak ni Carlos dahil na-realize niyang totoo ang sinabi ni Earl. Biktima lang talaga siya ng ego-tripping ni Zanjoe. "O 'wag kang umiyak dito."”

"You're just been picked on! You're a victim, pal" Earl answered. Carlos isn't angry to Earl. But Carlos wanted to cry because he realized that what is said to Earl is true. He's just a victim of Zanjoe's ego-tripping. "Oh, don't cry here."
