Go To

Bambang and Alan gets to work in a car wash. Melani is ill and needs Prima's help.


This episode contains examples of:

  • Bait-and-Switch: Prima tries to borrow some money from Mami Bibir by claiming someone calls him (as in, Mami Bibir's employee) ugly. Mami Bibir is seemingly angry and wants to meet that person... so she can says that she agree.
  • Literal Metaphor: Alan tells Anto that it feels hard to move his feet (as in "go away") from the car wash. Anto reminds Alan that he hasn't take off his boots.
  • Non-Verbal Miscommunication: People who helped push Bambang's car extend their hands to ask for payment, but Bambang mistakes it for wanting a low-five.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Prima drives Melani to the dorm and puts on his jacket to warm her. Bambang, Alan and Pipin don't know Melani is ill and assume Prima is being romantic. Bambang in particular becomes mad at Prima.
  • Sarcasm-Blind: Pipin mistakes Mami Bibir's joke about buying a Barbie house for her family as a genuine advice.
  • Working Through the Cold: Melani insists on going to work despite clearly being ill.

"My father used to say, 'Always prepare an umbrella before the rain.' But I want to say, "Hey girl, don't you want me before the rain? You know, just in case you need to take clothes from the clothesline."
