A Little Thing Called Love (2010) - full transcript

Why do you like taking close up photos?

I'm fond of close up photos,

because they reveal something more
of what we are unable to see

than from a larger perspective.

When you take portrait photos,

what do you focus on?

I think I focus most on the eyes.

You'll have to excuse me.
The little one's crying.

Gosh! He's gorgeous, but...

too bad he has a baby already.

Hey, why are you crying?



Are you hungry?
Are you a furious little baby?

You feel better now?

Everyone...

has a special someone in their hearts.

Every time we think about them,
it makes our hearts...

tinkle inside.

They will always remain in our hearts.

Even though I don't know how he's doing,

or where he is now,

at least he taught me about...

my first love.

No wonder you want to come here every day.

What? He's got really weird scooter.

Huh?



Hey, look! She's a very pretty thing!

Do you like her?

Hey, look at her!

He's gorgeous.
There's so no doubt that you're into him.

-Right.
-I'm not into him at all.

Ooh?

Oh, hello.

This way, please.

Hello.

Fried rice and breakfast
for this table, Mom.

After you're done with that table,
can you go to the market for me?

-Sure, Mom.
-Good girl.

How's school, dear?

It's going well. I'm hanging out
with my old gang, Cheer, Kie and Nim.

You've been with them since first grade.
Aren't you sick of each other already?

Well, you wouldn't have anyone else
to hang out with,

even if you wanted to.

You guys are ugly ducklings.

-You...
-Ouch!

Hey, let me tell you something.

Who we hang out with
is not all about looks, you know?

But how you look counts
for first impressions.

It's good that I take after you.

If I looked like Dad, like Nam does,

I'd never have a boyfriend.

-Hey!
-Ouch!

Enough, you two.

You're too old to fight.

The two of you stop it.

Don't talk like that about your father.

If he hears you, he'll be upset.

Go now. Be on your way.

Huh!

He's in the States. He can't hear me.

You want some mangoes?

SAFETY FIRST

Mangoes?

The new seniors are so cute.

Yes.

Yes. I've been in an all-girls school
since kindergarten. I'm so sick of that.

Have you got it?

Yes, mine adds up to 28.

Twenty-five to thirty-five.

You're compatible with men
who are leaders,

who are warm and kind.

Must be...

-Tong, Chairman of the Buddhist Society.
-No.

Cheer got 15.

Fifteen to twenty-five.

You're compatible with athletes,
just and fair.

Must be Ken,
the basketball player over there.

-Wow...
-Ah!

Oh...

It couldn't be him.

Mine must be a bad boy.

That's quite right.

It must be...

Meaw, the tough guy.

-Kie.
-Nam got 30.

Thirty.

You're compatible with artists,
unique and artistic.

Who must he be?

You seem a little down

for English class.

Could you be a little more active,
like you were during lunch?

Wow.

Don't smile just yet.
You seem to be doing well only in English.

Your other subjects are so bad.

Ugly duckling.

Today, we'll be studying vocab and grammar
from song lyrics.

Please pass on the paper.

His name is Shone.

SECRET INFO

He's a junior.

He has quite a reputation.

Maybe it's just a rumor.

Students, for the word "inspiration,"

if we change the A to an E,

it becomes the verb "inspire,"

which means, "To motivate."

Two girls left the school because of him.

DON'T BUY IT

So, better stay away from him.

My friend's sister went to
the same school as Shone.

-Really? Is it true?
-Yes.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?

What are we talking about?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

BUT I'M TEACHING

"But I'm teaching"?

-Cheer!
-Yes.

What does, "You are the inspiration,"
mean?

What does it mean?

YOU INSPIRE ME

You inspire me.

"You inspire me."

You're the inspiration.

Everyone is inspired by someone.

Even I'm inspired...

by someone.

-Thank you, teacher.
-All right...

Let's read all together now.

LADIES' ROOM

Akarin, would you solve this equation,
please?

Who did this?

Ouch! What's this?

What are you looking at?

Oh...

Teacher Orn.

-It's in.
-Wow.

You're good. When are you going to
try out for the school team?

Playing just for fun is much better.

You're still scared, huh?
Come on, let's play.

Shone?

Hey, I'll be right back.

-Who is that girl?
-Who?

Why is Shone talking to her?

-Who is she?
-Who is she?

-Who is she?
-Who?

-Maybe she's his ex?
-That's not true!

Sorry.

Uncle Chang!

Mom, Nam, Uncle Chang's here.

Hello! We missed you so much.

-Uncle Chang?
-Uncle Chang!

Hello, Chang.

Hey, Pang, long time no see.

Your head still smells funky.

Oh, Nam? You're all grown up now,
I hardly recognize you.

Hey, Pim. Oh!

Hey, Uncle.

-Are you that sleepy?
-I think it's jet lag.

-I'm still adjusting to Thailand time.
-Oh.

-Here we go again.
-Hey, hold it!

Is my dad as fat as you are?

Your dad is working as a sous chef.

He's doing all the heavy jobs,
so he's very buff right now.

I have a photo from him to show you.

-Hey, let me see.
-Hey!

Wait!

Pim?

Your man said
he'll transfer more money this month.

He told me to tell you that...

"Honey,

I promise I'll pay off the mortgage
for this house.

You and the kids hang in there."

He should visit us sometimes.

He said that

if one of you can be top of the class,

he'll send a ticket to you
so you can visit him in the States.

Wow.

Plane tickets are quite expensive.

Do you think he'll keep his promise, Mom?

He knows that being top of class
is quite difficult, dear.

You'll see.

I will be the top of my class,
so he knows I can do it.

FIGHT FOR THE GIRLS - DAD

You're going from rank 30 to the top?

Two strawberry sodas
and two orange sodas, please.

-Hey!
-Ouch!

Hey, two Pepsi's. I'm so thirsty.

How can you do this?

I'm just really thirsty.
Do you have a problem with that?

Haven't you heard that

men, children, and basketball players
get the privileges at this school?

And I'm a basketball player.

Can I have four Pepsi's
for the soccer players, please?

Will Pepsi do?

Yes...

Damn it!

Hey, don't kick at me.

Sorry, OK?

Hey!

Hey. I can handle this.

Nam, Shone and Ding
are having a fight behind the school.

Huh? Stop!

Where are you going?

Let's take the scooter!
It's faster. Come on!

Nam!

Hurry!

I think you can handle him.

So, you want to be a hero like your dad?

He was a loser.

Did you guys know

that he missed the penalty kick
and cost us the National Championship?

It took ages to make it
to the National Championship.

Damn it!

Ouch!

Oh, we just missed
seeing Ding getting beat up.

Let's go.

Do you still want this soda he gave us?

If you're not going to drink it,
can I throw it away?

"Do not drink."

Why is it in the freezer
if you can't drink it?

All right, students,

I have two announcements for today.

Our school has become filthy
due to littering,

and the students are ignorant.

So, from now on, anyone who litters

will be fined one baht per piece.

For anyone feeling this is too expensive,
I have a promotion.

Pay 50 baht per day
and you can litter anytime, anywhere,

and I'll just clean up after you.

Will the students with the following names
please proceed

to the Disciplinary Office.

Jakawan, Class 4/5.

Achawin, Class 4/7.

Ouch!

-Ouch!
-Cross your arms.

There!

If you get into fights again,

I'll inform your parents, you hear me?

Shone, you have great talent

in photography.

Why don't you enter the provincial
photography contest?

I think you should apply.

Maybe you can do something for our school
instead of wasting your time fighting.

Do you understand me?

-Yes, sir.
-You may go now.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Next.

I'm sorry about...

what happened yesterday.

I'm really sorry.

It's OK. It's not your fault.

Band-Aids for you.

Get well soon.

Nam?

Thank you.

Yay, he knows my name!

He knows my name!

Hey.

They actually have books like this?

Oh! 20 Ways to Get Your Guy.

There go the white ribbon girls.

I'll be right back.

Look at her.

Since when is she friends with them?

Is she for real?

HOW TO BE A TOP STUDENT

Of course I am.

I miss my dad.

-I haven't seen him for five years now.
-Wow.

Earn,

Kai's now in love with me,
because of this book.

Really?

This book really works?

-Yeah.
-Pooh also bought this book

before she got together with Toh.

9 Love Tips really works.

You're not going with them anymore?

No.

They're saying I outshine them.

Tip number one.

The Greek belief
for how to win someone's heart.

Look at the stars in the sky,

and connect the stars with your fingers

to make the name
of someone you love in Latin.

-Hey, wait up!
-What?

I can't do it.

Nam, why don't you join us?

I won't. I think it's nonsense.

-Gotta get this right.
-I'm going to do it at home.

-See you guys.
-We're going, Nam. Later!

You're practicing real hard.
Do you have a soccer match somewhere?

Just around here.

-Catch!
-Hey, I can't!

I told you I can't play!
Watch where you kick, OK?

I thought you were Chinese?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

My ancestral accent comes out
every time I'm upset! Ouch!

Hey. Come on.

Look at this, Shone.

How about it?

A poster of the photography contest
that you asked about.

I see.

Look at him.

He can play soccer day and night
on the streets,

but he refuses to join the school team.

He's just having fun. I don't think
he's taking soccer seriously.

Even if he was, he wouldn't join the team.

I should have scored that penalty kick.

There you go again.

Don't blame yourself.

Maybe he's not really feeling ashamed.

But even if he is,

he has to get over it by himself.

Look at you now, at how far you've come.

You look a bit strange.

Look!

I have new braces for my teeth.

Do you like them?

They don't look all that special to me.

Hey, here, look here.

I still don't like them.

Hey, you picked Ken?

Yes.

Eat now.

He did it! He actually ate it!

Are you crazy?
He's in the middle of his lunch.

This is not hypnotizing.

What are you guys doing?

Tip number two.

An ancient method of the Mayans.

Concentrate and look at the one you love,

and try to hypnotize him
to do what you want.

-If he acts as you order...
-Turn around.

-...it means that he is your soul mate.
-Turn around.

Turn around.

Hey, he turned around.

Who?

Oh, no one.

Are you hypnotizing Shone?

No, I didn't do anything.

I thought you said this book was nonsense.

Well, taking beliefs
from different cultures

and various islands is kind of weird.

-Then why are you following the book?
-I... Hey!

You can tell us the truth.

-Right?
-Yes.

I don't want to be teased.

Don't you worry about that.

Because we will definitely...

Tease you!

Tip number three.

The Scottish way of saying
you love someone is

to give a gift to someone anonymously

just so that the person knows that
someone has a crush on him.

-No, don't drop it!
-This jelly is mine.

How could you drop it?

Well, it just fell...

Thank you so much, Teacher Pon.

-Salted eggs.
-Yes.

Oh, I must have been on your mind
when you were traveling.

I'll finish them all.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Teacher Pon's eggs, oh!

Teacher Pon's eggs and some salt, oh!

Teacher Pon's salted eggs, oh!
It's correct.

Teacher Pon brought me eggs.

Teacher Pon's salted eggs...

Oh, don't tell me...

Yes, they're from Teacher Pon.

-How many boxes have you got?
-Four.

Four boxes?

Salted eggs.
I hope you can finish them all.

See you.

Oh no!

No!

My scooter's ruined!

I forgot we live in a tropical country.

-Mangoes?
-Yeah.

People give flowers and handkerchiefs
as gifts.

What's so romantic about mangoes?

Hey, look over there.

Wow, cool dude!

Go.

Mango cake.

I made it myself.

Thank you.

It looks delicious.

-Ouch!
-Are you OK?

I'm all right.

OK, we're dead.

She only has to do that.

Right.

She's adorable and she bakes.

How can you beat that?

Better find another boy.

DON'T CHEAT

Actually, I already have plans,

but if you invite me over
for dinner at your place,

and this is would be our first date...

If you're not free, that's OK.

Next semester, then.

Oh, wait!

Actually, I'm free.

I accept your invitation.

Teacher Pon.

See you later this evening.

This dinner is not just for the two of us?

It's not actually a dinner.

It's a party for the end of semester.

A lot of our colleagues are coming.

-It'll be fun.
-Oh, OK.

-Teacher Orn.
-Teacher?

-I never give up.
-Wait...

This time...

-it's war.
-That's my answer sheet!

Oh!

Higher.

-Teacher...
-Lift me higher, Nam.

I got it.

We have to make Shone give Nam
a lift home.

Yes.

It's your once-in-a-lifetime wish,
isn't it?

Yeah.

When he drives you home,

after getting off the bike,

you hand him the mangoes.

Oh my!

How romantic is that?

You have to pretend your scooter's broken.

How will I do that?

He'll know once he tries to fix it.

That's true.

You must lose your keys.

How?

They're right here.

-Hey!
-They're gone.

Hey, Shone is there.

Look there.

Ouch!

Mango cake girl,
what's wrong with your leg?

I tripped and must have sprained my ankle.

Come, I'll give you a lift.

That's all right.

-Ouch!
-Hey!

Come on, let me take you home.

I'm a little clumsy.

Wow, what a show!

Did she go to acting school or what?

BYE-BYE GRADE 7. SEE YOU ALL IN GRADE 8

-Mom, come see this.
-What, dear?

-Pang, you little brat.
-Mom!

Nam has a boyfriend.

CRUEL SHONE

Nam. How can you go to see your dad
if you're like this?

I think this can wait until you grow up.

Right now,
concentrate on your school work.

Hey, Cheer. What brings you here?

Your little sister said
you've been depressed for weeks now.

You've been listening to sad tunes
all week.

I thought you must have
gotten over Shone by now.

Keep your voice down. Mom might hear us.

She's off to the market already.

-Don't push me.
-Ouch!

When's your mom going to
expand these stairs?

Hey, Nam, hear one more tip, OK?

Listen carefully. Tip number seven
is from the Gypsies.

Let love inspire you.

The power of love shall make you smarter,
prettier and better in every way.

Then that person will finally notice you.

Hey, what the hell?

Shone is gorgeous,

so Nam should be beautiful...

OK, do that later.
My skin's coming off now.

Or return to the old days

No matter how long...

-What is this?
-Turmeric.

Let's go.

Hey.

Hello, girls.

Let me know how I can help you, OK?

Have a look around.

WHOLE TOWN DISAPPOINTED

PORNCHAI MISSED PK
FAILED TO WIN PROVINCIAL CUP

I don't see him anywhere.

Maybe he's not home.

He's probably out.

I don't see his scooter.

Have you found what you were looking for?

Ah, yes.

This one.

What are you buying?

You play table tennis?

Why are you so yellow?

Do you have jaundice?

Shone.

-Mango cake girl. Here to buy something?
-Yes.

I need a dozen table tennis balls.

Come, I'll get them for you.

Come on, kids.

-Join my Drama Club.
-Drama Club, anyone?

We have a lot of plays for you.

You can be a princess or a prince.
You can star in our plays.

The lords of comedy were in my club.
Come here.

DRAMA CLUB

-Anyone interested?
-Join us?

The father of talk shows
was also in our club.

-Really?
-This is your chance to make it.

-Are you interested?
-What?

THAI DANCING CLUB

-Join us, dear? Don't pass over me. Come.
-Join the Drama Club.

Join the Drama Club with me.

Take off your glasses.

-Your glasses.
-But I feel awkward without them.

I think we totally don't fit in with

the pretty-polished-posh concept
of that Thai Dancing Club.

That's right.

Teacher Orn always selects
the smartest and prettiest for her club,

and when they perform,
the whole school goes to see them.

Not like those weirdos in Drama Club.

There are only ugly people there.

No one ever watches their plays.

Well, it's worth giving it a try.

We may be a little dark

and a little dorky,
but we're pretty in our own way.

Shone.

Shone.

Which club are you joining?

Photography.

Whenever you need a model,
just let me know.

I like photographing landscapes,
not people.

Are you kidding me?

-If you say so.
-Hey.

Come on, get in the frame.

You're not yellow anymore.

Your skin seems lighter.

Maybe...

a little.

I'll be watching your performance
on that day, OK?

Hey!

You see, Nam.

He said you look prettier.

Keep your chin up, OK?

If we get to do dance performances,
it would be fantastic!

-We'd be so smart and pretty.
-Right.

If you're not sure you're pretty enough,

you're always welcome in other clubs,
you know?

Hey, that's not a very nice thing to say.

I wasn't talk to you.
I was talking to Funn, right?

Liar. You said it to us.

-Ouch!
-Hey!

-She said it first!
-Stop it, girls!

I don't want any troublemakers in my club.

Wait.

Faye and Funn, stay behind.

Nam...

I'm sorry about earlier.

-I have to apologize, too.
-Yeah.

I bought an extra drink.

You can have it.

Wait.

Let her drink it first.

Why won't you drink it?

Let's go. If you don't want a drink
spiked with fish sauce,

throw it away.

How could she do that?

There you are.
I was looking all over for you.

Look at me...

and smile.

Frown.

Laugh.

Perfect!

See you tomorrow at the auditorium, OK?

Teacher?

Keep your voices down.

I'm only accepting a few students.

Understand?

Can I have some?

Teacher In?

Oh? What's wrong?

Are you OK?

Are you all right?

Hey!

Teacher In?

-How can I help you, sir?
-Oh, nothing, How are you?

See you tomorrow.

Oh my...

-Water. Need water.
-Don't!

It's a perfect match and I mean it.

Teacher In.

Maybe I shouldn't let you do the play
if you're this late.

-OK.
-Hey!

Wait!

I was just joking!

-Well...
-Teacher.

We meant to tell you that...

No worries.

-I'll give you the best parts.
-Well...

We meant to tell you...

Come on, help me out...

We want to dance...

-Dance...
-Dance...

Dance... in your play.

Because we're so happy to be in your play.

This year, I proudly present...

the play called...

Nam, your English is better than the rest.

You play Snow White, OK?

Me?

Ahem!

Yes. Ready! Oh!

What are you doing here?

I'm here to paint.

Then what are you doing inside the box?

I bought interior paint.

Go paint elsewhere.

Wait a second.

Get me all the phone numbers
of those in Art Production.

Teacher Pol,

my students are gifted in acting,

-I'm sure...
-But, Teacher...

-Are you all right? Are you sick?
-No.

I feel fine.

Oh, maybe you're not used to
my natural beauty.

Lipstick is a waste of money.

And most importantly,
I just want to give someone a head start.

Perhaps you went a little too far?

Well, let's compete with our work.

Because going by our looks,
we're neck and neck.

I've trained the students to put on makeup

just like my natural style.

Ta-da...

And this is how you get the natural look.

Are you sure you trained them?

Is this a play or a circus?

It could be a circus, Teacher Orn.

This is the kids' creativity.

Damn!

9 LOVE TIPS

You're going home?

Yes.

SHONE'S NUMBER

Get home safely.

She was walking fine...

when she got here, wasn't she?

-Teacher.
-Yes.

-Would you like some water?
-Thank you.

-Well, Teacher...
-Yes?

My football's going to be out of air.

Sorry about that.

This is Pin, a junior.

She'll be taking care of costumes
and makeup for our play.

May I have a round of applause for Pin?

-Please take care of this for me, Pin.
-I think we should get started.

OK, let's get started with me.

-Yes?
-Oops, I forgot

I'm not in the play.

Let's start with Snow White, then.

-Start with me?
-Yes.

You first.

Wow.

What do you think?

She looks the same to me.

Snow White with braces.

Uncle!

I don't want braces anymore.

I want to take them out.

DR. WITOON'S DENTAL CLINIC

Nam, are you there?

OK, ready. Stand by.

Where's the prince?

He has diarrhea.

On a final rehearsal? Is he crazy?

Hey!

You! The painter!

Can you fill in for the prince, please?

-Me?
-Yes, be the prince. It'll be quick.

Closer. Get closer.

When I say action,
lean towards her to kiss, OK?

Hey! Nam!

You're going to break your neck there.

Hey, too long already!
Go back to painting.

Nam, standby. Koi, ready.

What the heck?

Oh!

Ready, and, action.

Hello, This is Pornchai Sports Shop.

Well...

May I please speak to Shone?

Shone speaking.

Oh, he hung up.

Wow!

Where are you going?

Toilet? The witch is here!

This is the climax of the play.
There's the witch.

Look...

She's not dead. She's going to
solve her problem, you'll see.

No one informed me about
the fact that our student

won the provincial photography contest.

They just called to inform us now, sir.

Teacher,

try to keep up with the performance
of our students, OK?

Yes, I will.

-Hurry up.
-Yes.

I'm trying.
The iron is not working so well, sir.

-This is why!
-Yes?

Oh, yes.

Oh, could you plug it in for me?

Well done, students, great job!

You can still see the footprint.

I ironed it. I didn't wash his shirt, sir.

-Do you want me to wash it?
-We don't have time.

-Don't forget your bag.
-Yes.

Get going now. Go.

Well done!

Yeah!

Dinner's on me tonight.

Wow! Yeah!

FOR SNOW WHITE
I TASTED IT FOR YOU. IT'S NOT POISONED

Hold on. One more time.

Eat your heart out tonight! It's my treat!

-Let's pack up now.
-BBQ!

-Let's pack.
-Hey!

"For Snow White."

Who is it from? A bitten apple.

It must be from Shone.

-Wow, you really think so?
-You ugly thing!

Nam, maybe it's from that guy...

Yuck!

Prince Frog.

-Princess Frog and Prince Frog.
-No!

What a jerk.

Why didn't you come see the play?

I bet you were watching those dancers.

What a jerk!

-Mac doesn't feel a thing.
-Oh yeah.

Hey!

-Hey, how's my little boy?
-Hey, what brings you here?

Hello.

Guys, this is Top,
my friend since kindergarten.

Right.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hi.

He's cute.

Hey!

Let's go.

How long are you going to stay this time?

Probably until my dad retires.

-But if I can get into university...
-Cute!

He's so cute, just like Shone.

Let's go see the cafeteria.

Hey, pretty girl.

What's your name?

Yes, you. What's your name?

Don't be shy.

Going already?

You want a little fight with me, girl?

Hey!

I think Teacher In put it on.
It's probably been showing all day.

Let's go.

Hey,

that's Snow White on TV.

She's cute.

Does she have a boyfriend?

I don't think so,
but I don't think you should ask her out.

Why not?

Isn't she too young?

Hey, I've asked for the numbers
of fifth-graders before.

BYE SOPHOMORES, HELLO JUNIORS!
SEE YOU SOON! STILL TAKING EXAMS.

Shone, this is yours.

I thought so. Every time we play soccer,

you always have to give me a penalty kick.

You do it.

Hey, you're still not over it?

Your dad must have
forgotten about it by now.

It's not that. That was too easy.

Yeah, right, Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo.

-Top.
-Yes?

-Can I take a photo with you?
-Sure.

-Can I have one, too?
-Of course.

Then who's going to the photo for me?

Will you take one for me first?

-No way!
-I can take it for you.

Thank you.

-A bit closer.
-OK.

Three, two, one.

-Ouch! What is it?
-Why are you stealing my scene?

-Easy, girls.
-You did it!

Stop.

What happened? All of you stop it!

Stop it right now!

Isn't this too much?

I have no idea.

Stop it right now!

-Oh gosh!
-Gosh!

I was the referee, sir.

Oh my God.

How many days until District Sports Day?

About two weeks, sir.

The athletes and cheer squad
are practicing hard.

Who's going to be the drum major now?

I think I will have to ask Teacher Orn
for some help.

Maybe she can find someone.

Don't worry about that, sir.

I got it.

Ouch!

It's nothing.

Nam.

In my entire life,

I've never met anyone as perfect
and excellent as you.

You look incredible and fabulous.

Teacher In.

Please get straight to the point.
What can I do for you?

Well, I was wondering...

if you could be the school's drum major
for District Sports Day?

-What?
-I'm not looking at anyone else.

You're perfect for it.

But that's in two weeks.

I don't think I can do it.

I cannot find anyone else.

Let's do this.

I promise I'll make it up to you
in a religious way.

In a religious way?

I can pray for you for six months...

or forever.

I can definitely do that.

Hold the baton upright,

look up, then throw.

Keep your eyes on the baton.

Catch it when it's coming near.

Then, continue marching.

See? As easy as that.

Can you show me?

I have my own baton.

You can do it. That's yours, this is mine.

Focus on how high you want to throw it,
and throw it up when you're ready.

Three, two, one. Up!

Oh no!

This is difficult.
Why didn't she pick someone else?

Don't give up just yet.

It's only been a few days.

The most important tip

in 9 Love Tips

says that you should give it
your best shot in love.

Wholeheartedly give it all you've got.

Then, the person you love will find you.

Nam.

You've come this far.
You have to keep fighting.

This is not only for our school.

You're representing our town.

You can do it.

Top, pass the ball.

Pass it here.

Hey!

Hey, you're distracted by girls again.

I promise you

that our marching band

will be the best in town this year, sir.

-What about the drum major?
-Oh, you need not worry.

She's pretty, tall and fabulous.

She's just perfect.

Watch out!

Oh no!

-Sorry.
-OK.

Don't tell me that's our drum major.

Oh, yes.

But she's been doing well, sir.

It's the first time she messed up.

She's throwing her baton like a boomerang.
What if she messes up on Sports Day?

No incident like that will happen, sir.

Get a new drum major,

-or I'll be after you.
-Oh, sir.

But we only have one week
to practice, sir.

This is not looking too good.

The director confiscated the baton?

Who's going to be our drum major now?

I don't know. Serves Teacher In right.

She should've picked
one of us pretty girls.

I don't know how she could pick
such ugly student.

Her students are always losers.

I'm glad she didn't pick us.

Right.

-How can you say that?
-It's true.

Ass face.

I'm going to prove them wrong.

Students of Teacher In
are not always losers.

You're going use a broomstick?

Where did you get that?

I borrowed it from the janitor.

It's a bit light, but it'll do.

I will not let anyone look down on us

or Teacher In.

Everyone!

Today,

I'm asking for 100 percent from you.

Hmm. There.

Hey, that's a foul. Hey!

Oh no.

You're going to take the penalty kick?

My son's going take the penalty kick.

-Let's leave.
-Hey, wait, hold on.

Unbelievable!
Shone's going kick a penalty goal.

I can't believe my eyes.

Come on, he's going to kick now.

No...

-Let's do it again.
-That's all right.

Do you guys know why

we lost the National Championship?

It's because of his dad.

Wait.

That was just a warm up kick.

Have another go.

A warm up penalty kick is a thing?

In my book, it is.

In my book, too.

Mine, too.

And I haven't blown my whistle.

-Yes, sir.
-One more time.

-What?
-He's going have another go at it.

-Hey, hey.
-Come here.

He's going to do it.

Hurray!

My son did it!

If you kick like that,
you're ready to join our school team.

-Yes.
-Yeah!

Yes, Shone did it.

Wow, he's all smiles now.

I get it now.

Wow, very good.

Perfect, dear.

My goodness!

Excuse me Teacher Orn.

I was wondering whether
any of your students

can throw their headdress that high
and catch it?

Higher than that!

Very good!

So, your sister is as pretty as I am now?

She much prettier.

There!

Fabulous, Nam.

I don't want to move anywhere.

You say that every time.

You're way too hot, Nam.

Last Valentine's Day,

-she was still very dark.
-Right.

I'm going to take Kai's gift for her.

-Have you asked Nam?
-I don't know.

Can I have this pink chocolate, Nam?

OK.

-What?
-What's wrong with her? She looks down.

She's been waiting for him all day,
and he hasn't shown up.

Hey, Nam. Come here. Hurry.

-Go ahead.
-Huh?

Here.

It's from a friend of mine.

"See you tomorrow at four
on the third floor staircase."

"I have something to tell you."

That boy, Champ, is so cute...

-Hey Shone.
-You're still here?

-Do you want to leave together, Shone?
-You guys go first.

Nam...

I knew you'd come.

This letter was from you, Top?

Yes, it was from me.

Did you want anything?

Well...

Would you like to be my girlfriend?

What were you going to tell me, Shone?

Oh...

I was just going to ask why you were here.

But... now I know.

So, what do you say?

Silence means yes to me.

What? Top?

Where did he come from?

And that's all Shone said?

That's right.

What was your answer?

I didn't say anything.

What should I do?

You have to think twice
since he's Shone's best friend.

If you make a wrong move,

Shone's going to kill you.

Are you free today?
Want to go see a soccer game?

No, I'm not free.

It'll only take a little while.

Shone's playing for the team
for the first time today.

Do you want to go?

OK, I'll go.

Nam.

Get on.

-Some water.
-Thank you.

-Do you have some water?
-No.

Let's go to plan B.

-Faster.
-To the left.

Move faster!

Dear button,
I really want to ride with Shone.

SUMMER HOLIDAY! SEE YOU IN JUNIOR YEAR

YOU'RE JUST OUT OF MY REACH, ANGEL...

What kind of cake would you like
for your birthday this year? Go pick one.

Vanilla cake.

-Nam loves it.
-Good choice.

Hello, Nam. Where are you?

We're picking a cake
for Cheer's birthday right now.

-At the dam with Shone and his friends.
-You guys are so slow...

I won't make it back in time.

I called Cheer this morning,
but she didn't pick up.

Please tell her happy birthday for me.

Sorry, guys.

OK, OK, we'll tell her.

We'll take this one.

Mac, help me here...

-Grilled squid.
-Thank you.

-I'll be right back.
-OK.

What are you doing here all alone?

Well...

It's a great view here.

Would you like some grilled squid?

Have you heard the story about squid?

No.

I'll tell you.

Once upon the time,

two squid met

and fell in love

with each other.

They decided to be together,

and eventually

they got married.

On their wedding day,

the reverend squid told them

to hold hands,

so they held hands.

Held hands,

held hands...

You're so silly.

But that's sweet.

-The story teller or the story?
-The story teller.

Oh, the story.

I'm all confused now.

No more appetite for squid, huh?

I've never eaten squid again

since I heard that story.

Then...

have you ever held someone's hand
like the two squid did?

Once,

I held hand of a clumsy girl.

She was about to fall off the stage,

-so I grabbed her hand.
-Nam.

Why aren't you eating the squid?

It's really delicious.

Don't!

What? They're yummy.

Seriously,

do you like Nam?

You're going out with her.
Why are you asking me this?

Oh, it's nothing.

-Forget it.
-Ouch!

Are you all right?

I'm fine, it just hurts a bit.

-Can you try to walk?
-Ouch!

Come on, get on my back.

Come.

Give me that.

Dear button, Shone carried my bag today.

Is that you, Nam?

Cheer's not here.

She went with Kie and Nim.

You didn't go with them?

No.

Give them a call...

I miss the old days when we would
do reports together, don't you?

Angels should be in Heaven,
not in Hell like us.

Take it easy, Cheer.

You'll have your birthday again next year.

Nim, I only have three friends.

I wouldn't have done that if I'd been her.

Do you want to come over later
to do the report?

Why don't you write it with your new gang?

Top's not here yet?

He told me to tutor a sophomore.

He's not here yet.

He said he was going to borrow a book
for the sophomore.

That day, I was in the hospital.

Which day?

The day my dad missed the penalty kick.

I was born that day.

My dad never played soccer again

after I was born.

I'm such a bad luck.

You see...

our team never made it
to the finals again.

Are you OK?

I'm used to all the teasing.

It's OK.

I'm fine.

My last name is,

"Shone, the son of the guy
who missed the goal."

But it's OK.

I'm on the team now.

Are you thinking of playing
professional soccer?

I don't know.

Right now, I just want to have someone.

Nam...

I still can't find the book.

Can you come help look for it?

We won't take long, Shone!

I love you, but you don't know

So I kept it in my heart...

Shone.

What's the surprise for Ake's birthday?

You'll see.

Just imagine

That we are lovebirds

I love you, but you don't know

I love you, if you want to know

I love you but you don't know

Time for our special show for tonight.

Yeah!

This happened when we were in fifth grade.

Wow!

We happened to like the same girl.

Her name was Bo. She was in fourth grade.

So, we both practiced dancing,
hoping to be her partner at an event.

When the day came,

Shone...

got chicken pox,

so I got to be her dance partner.

Hurray!

But Top backed out

on the day,

so neither of us got her anyway.

He threatened to not be friends with me,

so we promised each other
after that day...

-That we would never like the same girl.
-That's right.

-Let's do this.
-Huh?

Same time tomorrow?
Let's go see Shone's soccer match.

You don't have to pick me up anymore.

Why not? Are you busy?

No.

I mean you don't have to pick me up
ever again.

Are you upset because I kissed you?

But you're my girlfriend, aren't you?

Top.

I never said I was your girlfriend.

After all I've done?

I'm sorry,

but I have someone I like.

Who is it?

Who? Nam!

This is the worst thing ever

in the history of my love life.

Can I ask you a favor?

Could you not ask her out,

no matter what happens?

Do you think she broke up with you
because of me?

No.

I just couldn't take it...

if my best friend was seeing
the girl I love.

When you put it like that,
there's nothing I can do.

Are you OK with that?

Yeah.

Thanks, Mom.

I've spoken to the manager
of Bangkok Glass, son.

What did he say?

He said,

maybe he'll accept you
into the training camp

for Bangkok Glass.

He's not kidding about this, right?

Nobody jokes about things like that.

Just be ready.

Maybe you'll have to move to Bangkok
after high school.

Dad!

-Thank you.
-Hey!

Hey!

You should have told me.

I would've applied for the grant
to go with you.

Sorry about that.

I was really preoccupied.
I didn't have the chance to tell you.

I think the director has found
a new PE replacement.

You're irreplaceable. I can confirm that.

May I ask for something from you
before you leave?

What can I do for you?

This...

Maybe too much to ask from you?

I asked for your heart but got a whistle.

There's...

the new PE teacher.

Wow!

I think you should hurry
and be on your way.

You might miss your flight.

I feel occupied all of a sudden.

Bye-bye now.

-Oh!
-Ouch!

Hey!

-Nice to meet you...
-Well, well, well!

You don't waste your time at all.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Aren't you the new PE teacher?
-Yes.

-What's your name?
-I'm Boat.

Oh, I'd love a boat ride.

BYE-BYE JUNIORS. HELLO SENIORS!

GOODBYE EVERYONE! GIVE ME A CALL!

IT'S SUMMER BREAK AGAIN

Why won't you stay for high school?

I just love the pink uniform
of the technical school I applied for.

Silly girl.

-It's pretty.
-So, the whole school's in pink?

What a scene!

Monday, I wait for you

Tuesday I am still waiting for you

Wondering how you're doing

Wednesday, you never show up

I waited for you all day

Thursday, nothing doing

Friday, Saturday or Sunday

Not a day goes by without missing you

We can never turn back time

Or return to the old days

To the day we met

The day we got closer

The day we held hands

The day I love you

The day I told you

The day you dream

No matter how long

How many months or years

My memories of you shall remain

I'll always think of you

Cheer,

I'm sorry.

Why sing a song?

Your song is so cheesy.

Why did you sing along?

We didn't.

We were laughing at your song.

-Nam.
-Yeah.

While three of us were
buying ice-cream at the market,

and we met Teacher In.

She said that your exam results...

your exam results...

What about my exam results...

That you are the top of the class.

I thought that...

-I'm the top of the class?
-That's right!

Mom, I'm top of the class this semester.

Nam!

You'll get to see your dad now.

-Yes!
-I'll get to see Dad!

Get to see Dad!

Can I kiss you for him?

Nam,

I ranked eighth in my class.
Can I come, too?

-Sure.
-Wow!

I'll bring you some toys and sweets.

I'm going to the States.

-Bring us back some snow, please?
-Sure!

Shone...

You got it? Let me see...

Is 50 baht OK?

It's 100, take it or leave it.

I had to sneak in
and almost got bitten by stray dogs.

-Seventy baht?
-No way!

Leave it then.

No, give it to me.

Hey!

-Oh...
-Nam!

He's cute.

Is he your boyfriend?

It's Bam's boyfriend.

No, I just took the photo for her.
I'm not into boys.

Please don't tell Mom.

Mom, Pang's...

-Mom!
-Nam, please!

What?

Is the food ready?

Pang's hungry.

Almost done, dear.

I understand.

Just be a good girl, OK?

What about you?

What about my money?

Come on have some snacks, kids.

-Thank you!
-Snack on these first, OK?

Does Shone know how you feel about him?

Wow. You've liked him since first year.

I don't think you should tell him

so it can be a world record
that a silly girl

has been in love with him for three years

without him knowing.

Nam, maybe you'll never see him again
for the rest of your life.

Aren't you going to do anything about it?

9 LOVE TIPS

I've done everything the book says,
haven't I?

We're here to support you.
What are you afraid of?

You are pretty, smart,

nice, and cheesy.

Is that a compliment?

Of course.

Go, girl...

The pool's out of order, sorry.

Hey, you haven't signed my shirt.

Shone...

I have something to tell you.

I really like you.

I've liked you for three years.

I've done everything I could
for you to notice me.

I...

I've tried out for the dance club,

been in a play, been drum major,

and even studied harder.

But I realized that I should have been

straightforward with you
about my feelings a long time ago.

I just wanted to tell you that...

I like you.

THIS TIP BOOK IS FUNNY
IT SHOWS HOW HARD YOU TRY

Get home safely?

JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT...

YOU'VE HAD MY HEART SINCE WE MET

She looks the same.

A Snow White in braces.

I TOLD PIN THAT YOU LOOK THE SAME

YOU LOOK CUTE JUST THE SAME

I HELD YOUR HAND FOR THE FIRST TIME

BUT HAD TO LET GO
SO NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT

I TASTED AN APPLE I GAVE YOU

YOU'RE DOING MUCH BETTER. KEEP IT UP

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

ESPECIALLY FEARS

PLANTING A ROSE IS A TOUGH JOB

It's from a friend of mine.

I GAVE YOU A ROSE TODAY
BUT TOLD YOU IT WAS FROM A FRIEND

I COULDN'T TELL YOU THE TRUTH

Would you be my girlfriend?

DO YOU KNOW IT HURT ME TO HEAR
TOP SAY HE LOVED YOU?

HOW COME WE ALWAYS MISS
THE RIGHT MOMENT?

I WISH YOU COULD RIDE ON MY BACK

Nam?

Would you be my girlfriend?

Can I ask you a favor?

Could you not ask her out?

NINE YEARS LATER

There's a window on that side.

Kai, could you take the customer?

I'll be right back.

Hello, handsome.

You're sleepy aren't you?

Sorry to bother you every time.

No problem. Your kid is like mine.

Come on, don't be a crybaby.

Don't mess up my hair.

Gotta go now.

Bye, kiddo.

I wish his real dad
would love him like this.

Come on now.

Call me.

Hey, Shone.

Are you going to that TV show?

I don't know yet.

Bye, Shone, say, "Bye."

Bye. You're sleepy.

Hurry up!

Are you ready?
We'll shoot second break soon.

-Just a sec.
-OK.

Please check the overall status.

-One minute to go, ready.
-Yes.

It'll all come out great.

Come on.

-Have a seat.
-Ready.

-Hello.
-Well, just be relaxed.

Our program is, you know, spontaneous,

-Relax. Just have a conversation.
-OK.

-You look very pretty.
-Thank you.

-Fortunately, she's stylish.
-Yeah.

If only she had our good looks...

Oh, you dare, girl?

Teacher Boat!

Hello.

I've gotten to ride on a boat ever since.

Oh... jealous.

He's very sweet.

Wow!

That's so sweet.

-He always surprises me.
-Right.

Oh, another surprise...

Oh...

But that's a rose you're eating?

He'll feel bad if I don't eat it.

Oh...

Five, four, three, two...

We're now with the talented designer

of those fantastic clothes we just saw.

Hello.

The audience must be very familiar
with you already,

since you're one of the few Thai designers

who has been successful in New York city.

These are some of her works.

Here.

I'll show you.

These are just a few of her works.

Do you realize that you're also

becoming very popular here in Thailand?

That's an overstatement.

I still have a lot to improve upon.

So, what will you be doing here
in Thailand,

could you tell us?

Well, a brand contacted me
to do a fashion show,

a unique one.

I thought it would be fun and interesting,
so I said yes.

And I also wanted to come back
because I miss my mom.

You've said before in your interviews

that when you were young,

you weren't exactly stylish.

Sort of a bit dorky, perhaps,

which was a completely different look.

What was your inspiration
for making such big change in your life?

I fell in love with someone.

Fell in love?

Please tell us about it.

Yes, well...

-He was a senior.
-Yes.

A soccer player. He was very handsome.

I was in Grade 7, an awkward-looking girl.

I needed lots of improvement.

I thought I had to be prettier,
better, and smarter,

so I did everything I could,
just so he would notice me.

How did it turn out?
Did he know you were in love with him?

Yes, but it wasn't exactly a happy ending.

I turned out to be a good student,
so I went to high school in the States

and lived with my dad there.

Oh, that's kind of sad.

Come to think of it,

he's been such great inspiration to me.

I chose to use the power of love
to inspire me in a positive way.

He was like a great motivation
to constantly improve myself.

That made me who I am today.

Nam,

do you remember this scrap book?

Does this look familiar?

Yes, I remember.

Let's meet with the owner
of this scrap book,

Mr. Shone.
Ex-soccer star of Bangkok Glass.

-Shone is here?
-Is this for real?

Today, he's now a renowned
professional photographer.

For you.

For me?

It's for you.

Please, have a seat.

Yes.

Shone.

Do you have anything to say

to her after these nine years?

Well...

I just wanted to tell you that...

the button

is not mine.

I think it belongs to Ding.

Oh...

What about you?

Would you like to say anything?

I...

I want to ask you...

are you married?

Well...

I've...

Well...

I've been waiting for someone
to come back from the States.

Can you hear my heart sing?

It's saying I love you

But I can't reveal the truth

To anyone...
