Recap / Mimpi Metropolitan E 13

Since Bambang did a good job taking care of the lost elderly in the last episode, so he gets another job: taking care of an elderly Nancy.

---

This episode provides examples of:

• Bait-and-Switch: When Bambang tells Melani the sad story of Nancy's late husband, Melani gives him a tissue. Not for wiping soon-to-be-shed tears, but for wiping sauce in his face.
• Company Cross References: The names used for Bybyr Agency's casting script are Dimas and Gita, taken from another NET.—Limelight show Cinta dan Rahasia.
• Literal Metaphor: When Alan arrives in Nancy's house and sees an exhausted Bambang, Bambang explains that his life burden is getting heavier. As in he is forced to give Nancy a piggyback ride.
• Literal-Minded: Mami Bibir tells Pipin that she opens a casting to find new "seeds" for her agency. Pipin tells Mami Bibir that she has some and gives Mami Bibir plant seeds.
• Malaproper:
  • During the start of the casting, Mami Bibir and Prima have a lengthy banter where Prima tries to correct every single English word that Mami Bibir pronounced wrong.
    Mami Bibir: They just got the script. Do you think they're The Plash who can read it fast?
    Prima: The Flash. You meant The Flash.
    [...]
    Mami Bibir: That's Melani's fashion. She wants to work on television.
    Prima: Passion, Mi, passion.
    Mami Bibir: Passion is patient, sick people. Do you think I don't know?
    Prima: That's a different word—
    Melani: Mami, have you had breakfast?
    Mami Bibir: Nope. Why? You want to make me breakpast?
    Prima: That's break—
    Mami Bibir: You talk too much, tilapia! Shut up! You're embarassing me in front of the kids.
  • Later, Bambang requests for his car to be given "anti-ice-cream" model, when he meant "anti-mainstream".
• Subverted Catchphrase: After Bambang gives another advice, Alan asks whether this is one of Bambang's father's words like usual. No, this time, it is Bambang's own words.
• Working with the Ex: Defied. Prima's Old Flame Rena decides to not work in Bybyr Agency because she doesn't want to rekindle her feelings.
