Enough with the greetings. I know you are tired and hungry because of
your trip. So lets have a luncheon first and then youll rest.
I have so many things to tell you my dear brother. But whats your reason
for your homecoming?

Paciano:
Youre such a good son, Pepe. I am proud that you are my brother. I know
mother will be very happy.
Pepe:
What is the use of studying abroad if I cannot heal mother. I love her so
much. I want to her to see clearly again. And I want to open a medical
clinic and start practicing my profession and it also for our countrymen
who cannot afford treatment. One thing I noticed, most of our people are
addicted to gambling. (Then Rizal looked away).

Scene 2
Terrero Summoned Rizal to Malacaang
Terrero:
Pepe:
Hola! Gracias!
Terrero:
Pepe:
Terrero:
(Stand and face the window) Theres some rumors that the book Noli Me
Tangere provided not pleasant comment about the church, and also to
the government of Spain. I didnt send you here to judge you without
sufficient knowledge. Sir, I want to hear your side.
Pepe:
I will enlighten you then. The content of the book was only the truth. Thus,
this is not about the church. This is about the wrong doings of the officials
that I was pointing about. If this is not truth, then the staff abuses it.
Terrero:
The idea you presented me says the truth. I think that youre one of the
victims. But, before I give the judgment, why dont you give me a copy of
book for me to know what it deserves.
Pepe:
Si Seor Terrero. I will send you a copy. Ill go ahead. (Stand up and walk
towards the door)
Terrero:
But, if the result of the findings is not true, your punishment will take
seriously sir.
Pepe:

against guns?
