My Girl (2003) - full transcript
Jeab hears that his childhood sweetheart Noi-Naa is to be married, so he makes the trip back home to his provincial village. As he does so, the memories come flooding back to his childhood in 1980s Thailand. He remembers always being late to school, so his father would have to give him a ride on the back of the motorcycle. After school, he would always play with Noi-Naa and her girlfriends while the neighborhood boys rode their bicycles and played football and Chinese fantasy characters.
What's the point of being single?
I see all the couples.
So full of love and happiness.
Kissing each other passionately.
When one of them is sick.
They care for the other
Until they are better.
They have many kids.
They are the future of the country.
Hey, it's 07:00 a.m.
We might make it there by noon.
It's too late to help him
with the ceremony.
Can you ask Thoe
what else I need to prepare?
You will get there before me.
The evening party will be held
in another hotel.
The morning session
is a Chinese wedding.
I've already taken care of that.
Yes.
Do you need that, too?
TO MR. CHATREE TRAIRAT
This guy. He's kind of a shy boy.
I didn't think he would be
the first one to get married.
He's the groom?
Yes.
When will you get married?
- When?
- I'm still waiting for the right one.
If that woman isn't as good as you,
I won't get married.
You're playing with fire.
Don't you know who I am?
- Please wait here for a minute.
- Okay.
Hello?
Yes. I'm picking up the suit
at the tailor.
I'm serious.
I have to try the suit on.
I might find my bride
at your wedding.
Where are you? I'm on my way now.
What's the matter?
I'm about to hit the highway.
I'll be there soon.
It's the weekend.
You don't work on weekends
even if you are in Bangkok.
Wrap it up, then.
Can't you take a day off
to come to your friend's wedding?
Even Yong is coming
all the way from Surat Thani.
Whatever.
I'm done trying to convince you.
I won't do it for you.
Call him yourself.
My hands are full right now.
I'll call you back.
Oh, Mom?
I'm not coming home this week.
I'm going to Nakhon Sawan.
Do you need anything?
Noina...
I remember her.
It's really set tomorrow?
I don't think I can make it.
My friend's wedding
is also scheduled tomorrow.
Are you going?
Wait, Mom.
You should go.
Please give her my best wishes.
All right. Bye, Mom.
We might think some memories
have completely faded.
The truth is, we've probably
just buried them
in the deepest part of our heart.
If we dig deep enough,
we might realize
that we've been carrying them
our entire life.
I'm not talking about
literally digging.
SAO, SAO, SAO - DOOR OF MY HEART
It can be like just
listening to a song
that reminds us of the past.
Once again, the memories
will be conjured up.
Knock knock knock, open the door.
To see who's there
I'm so fine and happy.
Why do I have to
Open the door of my heart?
Jeab!
Jeab!
Jeab, wake up.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up, Jeab!
The sun is already up.
Wake up, Jeab!
Take that!
Get up.
Go take a shower.
Go!
- Hurry up.
- This girl is Noina.
- Our friends won't wait.
- She's my childhood friend.
- Noina, come here.
- Come here.
- Come here, honey.
- Noina, come here.
- Noina, come.
- Let's play with Jeab.
- Let's play with Jeab.
- Come here.
Come here.
I was born a few seconds after her.
But it turned out that
she was born in the
Year of the Tiger
and I was born in the
Year of the Rabbit.
My house was in the shrine area
where there weren't a lot of boys
unlike in the market area.
Noina was the only kid
who's the same age as me.
She was bigger than me.
My Lady.
Shall we go to a romantic dinner?
- I would love to.
- I would have to play.
- Where are we going?
- Anything that she wanted.
Otherwise,
I had no one to play with.
I'll go wash and change.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Don't peek!
What sane person
would want to do that?
Noina was good at everything.
- Two, three, four, five.
- Nobody could beat her
at jump rope.
Eight, nine, ten.
She even got the nickname
Master of Jumping.
CHARNKESA
All done.
My house was a barbershop.
My dad had owned the shop
for over a decade.
Half of the men in our village,
- both young and old,
-Next, please.
Had been my dad's customers.
SAMAI BARBER
Noina's house was also a barbershop.
I'm hungry.
Do we have anything to eat?
You're always hungry after playing.
All right.
All done.
Noina's dad
was a painter before
he became a barber.
The other half of the
men in our village
were his customers.
Next, please.
My dad's signature style
was using a comb with
the hair clipper.
As a former artist,
Noina's dad had to create a mood
before cutting customers' hair.
His trusty tools were
scissors and a comb.
All done.
Wait.
All done.
Next, please.
Even though they used
different tools...
- A bottle of Coca-Cola, please.
- Okay.
Next, please.
...the results were
pretty much the same.
- A bottle of Pepsi, please.
- Okay.
The thing was,
their barbershops
were separated by just one shop.
They didn't get along very well.
They didn't want to share customers.
Each believed their
talent was greater.
Charn,
I would like to get a haircut.
My hair grows really fast.
Hey,
didn't you go to that barbershop
last time?
You know,
I don't like sharing customers.
My dad always got sulky
whenever his customers
went to his rival.
Noina's dad was exactly the same.
Samai,
a little trim at the
back like last time.
I'm not in the mood right now.
My mom told my dad
that people don't cut their hair
just once their whole lives.
They would get a haircut
every time their hair grew.
There was no use in being mad.
WENT OUT FOR A HAIRCUT.
WILL BE BACK AT 04:00 P.M.
Hey!
Downtown.
Even though our dads
hated each other,
our moms were best friends.
What's the matter?
You look so tired.
It's my husband.
He kept me up all night.
Jeab is not a little boy anymore.
But your husband still does it?
It's getting worse!
He's keeping me up
until the break of dawn.
Everybody thinks that
my mom is gentle.
You little rat!
The bath is for bathing,
not for playing!
But she was so harsh with me.
You played in the bathtub?
He always says I'm complaining.
- She complained a lot.
-But he won't clean if I don't complain.
She complained about anything.
From insignificant things
to the really big issues.
Where are you going?
To play with Noina.
The playground is just around the
corner. Why aren't you walking there?
Don't go to the market area.
There are many cars
on the main road.
Dang's grandson, Goh,
got hit by a car yesterday. Jeab!
Did he hear what I said?
If he gets hurt, I'll punish him.
He is as stubborn as his dad.
You guys never listen to what I say.
I never went to the
market area by myself.
But that day,
my mom's complains
made me want to do it.
A boy got hit!
- A boy got hit.
- Let's go see.
- The car hit him.
- He got hit.
A boy got hit by a car.
I never dared to ride a bike
across that road again since then.
Jeab.
Jook said she brought a new toy.
- Really?
- Let's play with it tomorrow.
She already brought it?
- Yes.
- How many does she have?
Let's find out tomorrow.
Mom, open the door, please.
I'm going home.
Bye-bye.
My mom was always waiting
whenever I got home late.
You are home late!
- Are you learning your lesson?
- She had a stick.
Does it hurt?
I don't understand
why you keep doing this.
- Sometimes...
-I'll hit you black and blue.
I wondered
why she hit me.
Jeab!
Jeab!
Wake up. Are you going to sleep
for the rest of your life?
The school bus is here.
Jeab!
I'm leaving now!
You little rat!
Why are you still sleeping?
Will you be in bed
until the end of the day?
Dad, hurry up! I'm going to be late!
Hey! Did your dad only pay
half of the school bus fee?
You get on the bus
like this every day.
We studied at a school downtown.
- Again?
- We had to take a bus for ten kilometers.
- He woke up late.
- Most of my classmates
- lived downtown.
- His dad dropped him off.
So I didn't have a lot of friends.
Let's play rubber bands today.
I've brought a lot of rubber bands.
You're bragging.
If you want to play,
meet me at the usual place.
Okay.
I beat the 6th graders yesterday.
There was this boy, Jack,
from the market area.
I got all of his money.
What a pity.
When I was in 2nd grade...
- Nice weather.
- Nice weather.
...Jack was in 4th grade.
When I was in 3rd grade,
Jack was still in 4th grade.
Finally,
- I caught up with him.
-Delicious.
- Foods.
- Foods.
- We eat them.
- We eat them.
Jack ate anything that was edible.
He was the gang leader
because he was the biggest.
You're awesome, Jack.
- Nailed it.
- This is Prik.
He was my classmate.
He was kind of Jack's buddy.
Prik really wanted to be a singer.
He could sing any song.
Jack, a legend like you
should challenge the 7th graders.
Right?
This is Manosh. He was in 3rd grade.
Excellent student.
Great athlete.
- Bad at expressing emotions.
-Awesome.
This is Tee.
He was adorable.
What chubby cheeks.
So round and smooth.
His dad had an icehouse.
Tee would help him every day.
Move faster!
This tiny guy is Boy.
Give it back to me, asshole!
You asshole!
His mom owned the market.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hi, dear. What are you buying?
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hi.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, dear.
Boy always had new toys
and bragged about them.
Let me watch.
- You're so annoying!
- Gosh.
It's mine!
You can't play it
if you don't let me watch.
What's the problem?
You selfish jerk.
Give it back to me.
Stop playing.
You keep hitting my head.
Gosh.
I can't hit your head?
Dammit! You son of a bitch!
What did you just call me, you jerk?
You're just bigger
then me but so what!
What's wrong with you?
Do you want a piece of me?
ANUBAN PETCHABURI SCHOOL
- See you at lunch break.
- All right.
It's eight o'clock.
4TH GRADE, ROOM 1
Let go of me!
All right.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- Four, five, six.
- Four, five, six.
Seven, eight, nine.
Ten.
Again?
Be more serious, dude.
I'll try my best.
- I won!
- Damn!
I almost won.
Watch the rubber band jump.
I'll beat you this time, Jack.
You're dead meat.
- I'll beat you.
- I won again!
I almost got it.
I got it! You're playing
with the wrong guy.
Can I play with you?
Okay.
Do you have rubber bands?
You can have mine for now.
Give them back to me next time.
He's not allowed to play!
Why can't I?
Boy doesn't have a pair.
I finally won!
Dammit! You're so annoying.
You're the reason we get to school
late and have to rush every morning.
You can't play with us.
Guys, let's play somewhere else.
Jack! Those are my rubber bands.
Kick the ball!
Tanapon Jaiyen,
from 1st grade, room 3,
please come see your parents
at the Administration Department.
What is that?
You lost. Go there.
Go there.
Hey, what is that?
What is it? I don't see anything.
Jack!
Take it!
I don't want it anymore.
You don't want it?
I'll eat it for you then.
What are we going to play tonight?
Let's play blowing
rubber bands again.
No. Let's play jump rope.
What about acting out Reincarnated?
Prik, you'll be Dugu Wu Di.
Tee, you'll be the Monk.
A handsome boy like me
will be Yun Fei Yang.
You always win at jump rope.
Come on.
Let's play family.
We haven't played it for a while.
Please.
Listen, I look the most Chinese,
so I'll be Yun Fei Yang.
All right.
But I will be Mom.
I want to be Mom, too.
Ngor.
What kind of family has two moms?
It's okay. I'll be the mistress.
- Me, too.
- Let me be a mistress.
- Please, Noina.
- Let me be a mistress.
No, that can't be!
No one else can be Yun Fei Yang.
I suit the role better than anyone.
Because I have a sword.
No!
I won't play if I'm not Mom.
Jeez.
- Ngor.
- What?
Do you still have the toy stove?
Yes, I still have it.
- Bring it with you.
- Okay.
Why don't we light a real fire?
What do you think?
I can't play with real fire.
My mom will get mad at me.
Gosh.
- Damn.
- You're dead!
- You're evil!
- Take that!
- And that.
- Die!
You four-eyed jerk!
You're a jerk!
- Goodbye.
- See you.
- Let's play cops next time.
- See you.
- We're having fun.
- Which part do you like?
I like that part when...
I'm sorry.
I can't eat your apology!
Let's go, Noina.
Are you going to
leave just like that?
I said I was sorry, fatty!
Who's a fatty?
I'm just a little chubby.
Well...
And you're in good shape?
Big boobs!
Save that for your mother!
Noina, you idiot!
See you later.
Good afternoon, Mom, Dad.
Hi, son.
I'm going out.
Don't you have any homework?
I'll do it later.
If the teacher punishes you
for not finishing
- your homework...
- You'll punish me, too.
Jeez.
Why are you laughing?
- Hey, Pieak, where are you going?
- To get some shaved ice.
There are a lot of cute girls there.
Do you want to come?
Die!
Damn!
Who's there?
What are you doing here?
I brought the rubber bands.
Can I play now?
We don't play with homos.
Just go back and
play with the girls.
Guys, let's play somewhere else.
Sweeties,
what are you cooking for dinner?
- Clear soup.
- Stir-fried water mimosa.
- Stir-fried mushroom.
- I have shrimp paste.
I have herb curry.
- It's...
- Look at you.
- ...made from leaves.
- Hang on.
I have chili paste.
Jeab, what took you so long?
I was riding my bike.
Sweeties, Dad's home.
- Yay!
- Daddy!
Have you brought
the Five Star chicken for me?
You'll gain weight if you eat
too much chicken.
I don't care. I like it.
- I like chicken, too.
- Please, Dad.
- I don't like it.
- I like chicken.
- I like chicken.
- Please, Daddy.
- Jeab.
- What?
Do you want to make real pastry?
Are you allowed to
play with real fire?
I don't know.
I'll ask my mom.
What about the others?
It's okay. We can play alone.
But you have to eat all of them.
Okay.
Okay?
Thanks a lot, Jeab.
Bye-bye.
Get inside. You're so sweaty.
Go take a shower.
It's late.
Where are they going?
This is so annoying.
I've been looking for them all day.
Really?
It's not your business, Chainoi.
Aim, take him inside.
You came home around
drama time again.
Do I have to hit you every day?
Do I?
Why can't you behave
like other people's kids?
Why can't you be gentle
like other kids' moms?
Noina's mom never hits her.
- Good morning, teacher.
- Good morning, teacher.
Please sit down.
I have a meeting
about Children's Day.
Please quietly study your textbook.
- Tanit.
- Yes?
Give me the names of those who talk.
I'll punish them later.
Roger that.
I'll be back.
Please keep quiet.
Hey, can I borrow
the new volume of Doraemon?
- I said it first.
- I said it first.
Let's go!
You can't bite us!
What fish is this?
Sopa.
Sopa.
CHILDREN'S DAY 1985
Tanapon Jaiyen...
- Let's go. Hurry up.
- I'll follow you.
- Am I handsome, Dad?
- Yes, you are.
Let's go.
Dear viewers,
Prem Tinsulanonda
is giving a speech
for Children's Day.
CHILDREN'S DAY 1985
BE UNITED, HAVE
DISCIPLINE, CHERISH MORALS
Parents who have not done so
please come
to the meeting hall immediately.
The student performances
will begin soon.
Why were you so sulky yesterday?
Who made you mad?
Who did that to you?
You looked like you wanted to punch
That person in the face.
Excuse me. Was it me?
You are sulky again
Are you still mad at me?
Please tell me why.
Otherwise, I have to guess.
You're mad because I'm clueless?
Because I'm so innocent and slow?
Am I right? I bet I am.
This is what you get
When you only have one love.
Your son is cute.
Thank you.
I don't care about other girls.
I only care for you.
Love is not a shining star.
Nor a beaming ray of sun.
Nor a mighty mountain.
Why do people keep looking for it?
Sometimes, love makes me sad.
But sometimes, it makes me so happy.
Insincere love is nothing.
But an illusion for me.
Love is the moon.
Love is the moon.
Love is the sun.
Love is the sun.
Love is a pointless passion.
For me, love is.
For me, love is.
An illusion.
An illusion.
That I think about every night.
Love is not a shining star.
Neither a beaming sunshine.
Nor a mighty mountain.
- Hey.
- What?
Aren't you going to give
this rose to Noina?
Give it to her.
Go.
I'll give it to her
when she gets off the stage.
I'm shy.
Why don't you just give it to her
at home, then?
Can you give it to her?
I'm shy. Please.
- Me?
- Yes.
No way. I'm shy, too.
You should do it.
You're her mom.
Love is the moon.
Love is the moon.
Jeab can do it for you.
What do you think?
Good idea. Here.
Jeab, give this rose to Noina.
Her mom is shy.
For me, love is.
For me, love is.
An illusion.
An illusion.
That I think about every night.
Noina.
Sometimes.
- Love makes me sad
- It's from your mom.
But sometimes, it makes me so happy.
Insincere love is nothing.
- It's good having a day off.
- Yes.
Where are you taking Jeab tomorrow?
We'll go to Hua Hin.
Jeab wants to travel by train.
- His dad will come, too.
- I see.
What about your family?
I don't know. I'll ask my husband.
Do you want to come with us?
I'm sure my husband won't go.
- You see?
- I told you.
- Mommy, Daddy.
- Let's eat.
I want to have some cakes.
How can I do that?
You don't have to do it.
I'll do it for the kids.
- Honey.
- What?
I brought you a tie.
It goes well with your shirt.
Looks good.
Do I look good?
- You're handsome.
- So handsome.
Handsome.
I'm sorry.
I was just kidding.
- Here is your lunchbox.
- Okay.
Dad, you better hurry.
You'll be late.
- Hurry up.
- Go.
- Don't be back home too late.
- Okay.
Let's go to school.
"Here is your lunchbox."
- "Hurry up, Dad."
- "Hurry up."
- "We'll be late for school."
- "We'll be late for school."
"Honey,
don't be back home too late."
"Okay, sweetie.
I'll come home to you."
"Come on, honey,
I'm so shy.
People are looking at us."
You jerk!
You fatty! Don't you dare tease us!
It's disgusting.
I don't care if you're fat.
I love you just the way you are.
I don't care if Mom's fat,
I love her just the way she is.
Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty!
- Fatty!
Where is Dad going?
Why did you come here?
You better go back to your area.
What a mouth.
You're following him to make
out, right?
Here they are.
Sao, Sao, Sao!
We're in love.
What a ridiculous destiny.
I'm a stingy girl.
You're a boring boy.
Jeab, wait for me.
A boring boy who likes clear soup.
Our relationship will last.
Where are you going?
It's like eating clear soup
With fermented crab.
We're a couple.
We're a couple.
We fight when we're together.
We miss each other when we're apart.
We're yin and yang but we're happy.
Sometimes, other people wonder.
Why are we together?
Jeab, wait for me.
Jeab.
I'm a stingy girl.
You're a boring boy.
I like fermented crab.
What's wrong with him?
Didn't he see that I
was watching the TV?
Jeab.
Noina can't play with you today.
Her mom wouldn't allow her to.
Why?
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
Hey, don't let the lice
drop onto your tray!
How can a boy have lice?
You're giving me so much trouble.
- Mom, it hurts!
- Hey.
I have to do this.
Otherwise, the lice won't die.
I have an idea.
Ngor, do you still have lice?
They're almost gone.
My mom brushed my
hair with a nit comb.
The best way is to use kerosene.
Yuck. I won't use that.
It smells bad.
You can get rid of
it the way Ole did.
I love you, I only love you.
No girls get my attention.
I only love you, too
All of my heart is yours.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I will always love you
Even if the sun doesn't rise.
Even if the land dies.
Even if the earth is falling apart
I will still love you.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I love you, I only love you.
No girls get my attention
I only love you, too
All of my heart is yours.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I will always love you
Even if the sun doesn't rise.
Even if the land dies.
Hey!
Let's have a match.
Losing team has to pay.
You in?
We're in.
We have six players.
You only have five.
Are you good?
Yeah. That's fine.
You can have six players.
We play with five.
Boy.
Here.
The price is 20 baht.
Three goals to win.
Super defensive.
Super defensive.
I passed you the ball, Prik.
Take it.
Super defensive.
What the heck were you doing?
Manosh.
Pass the ball to me, Manosh!
- Pass it.
- Damn!
- Jack, pass the ball.
- Attack him.
- Manosh's there alone.
- Manosh, move forward.
Attack him, Jack!
- Good!
- Gosh.
Come on!
Right, split up!
Why did you pass it to me?
- You can't move forward, then come back!
- Take them.
Petch.
- Yes.
- Jeez.
Ez.
Shoot!
Boy, pass the ball to me!
- Prik, come here.
- Shit.
- Tee, attack him.
- Thar!
Manosh, get the ball.
Tee, he's going to score!
Boy!
What kind of goalkeeper are you?
His kick was strong and fast!
How could I catch it?
You guys suck, too.
You let them move forward.
You idiot! They scored in a second.
But you forgot to defend.
You too, Manosh.
Why didn't you block him?
What about you Prik?
I was blocking Petch!
I was blocking Thar, too.
Then how did they score?
- We have one less player.
- Right, we have one less player.
You're right.
They look so weak.
But their skills are strong.
Jack.
What?
The lice boy.
- What lice boy?
- That lice boy.
Hey, are you guys still playing?
Block them, okay?
Don't let them score.
- Understood?
- Yes.
Play well, all right?
- Let's start.
- Go.
They're coming.
Hey, Prik and Manosh!
Go block Thar. Steal the ball!
- Come on, Prik.
- Pass it to me.
- Manosh.
- Petch, pass it to me.
- Petch.
- Shit.
- That's a foul!
- Kick.
Lice boy, block them!
I'm kicking it.
They're coming!
Come on.
- What the heck?
- Hey.
Come on, man!
- Petch.
- Prik, go there.
Pass the ball, you idiot!
Pass the ball to each other!
Tee and Manosh, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Damn. I'm getting tired.
Pass the ball there.
- Come on, Prik.
- Petch.
Prik, pass the ball.
Petch.
We both have two points now!
You're awesome!
Manosh, pass it to Tee.
- Tee is here.
- Manosh, pass me the ball.
- It's Jack.
- Come here.
Shoot!
- They missed.
- Tee, steal the ball.
They're forwarding!
Shoot, man. Shoot!
Boy, make a save!
- Good job, Boy.
- Good job, Boy.
Lice boy, pass the ball. Come on.
- Petch.
- Prik, get the ball.
Manosh, get the ball.
Good job, Manosh. Pass it to me.
- Manosh.
- Manosh, move forward.
Come on.
I didn't know you were
a good player, lice boy.
Stop calling him "lice boy."
His name is Jeab.
Let me know if you want
another match, Mr. Thar.
Sucker!
Sucker. Sucker. Sucker.
Sucker.
If I hadn't passed the ball to Jeab,
he wouldn't have been able to shoot.
That's true.
Thar and his friends are so sad.
Jeab, let's go.
Let's find something
refreshing to drink.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's go.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Rice plants for an audience.
As well as the crabs.
Sugar palm trees as stereo speakers.
Sugar palm trees as stereo speakers
That give a sweet sound.
The earth as the stage.
The stage is the earth.
Banana leaf for a guitar.
Banana leaf for a guitar.
And firewood as a microphone.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.

We also have dancers.
Those are our dancers.
Coconut shells as percussion.

And we have hibiscus garlands.
Somchai is a drummer.
Sompong is Somchai's brother.
We have many singers.
We have many hosts.
It's all fun and happy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.

Welcome, people.
To a concert in the
middle of rice fields.
We sing ourselves,
there's no fee to join.
Sit on your mat and enjoy the show.
- See you tomorrow, guys.
- See you.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Mom, I'm home.
Open the door, please.
Watch my ear.
I know.
I'm going out.
This early in the morning?
I'm going to play with my friends.
You never get up this early
on school days.
Honey.
You always scold him,
regardless if he gets up early
or if he gets up late.
You're not the one who wakes him up
on school days.
Hey!
I'm the one who drops him off
on the school bus.
I think this side is okay now.
Move to the other
side, so it's even.
Hey.
I'm not a barber.
I'm a barber's wife.
- Come on.
- This is the best that I can do.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Listen.
I'm his mother.
Why can't I scold him?
If you spoil him like this,
he will become a spoiled brat.
What are you talking about?
It's not a problem
if you want to teach him lessons.
But waking up late
doesn't make him a bad person.
He's just a boy.
That's the thing. He's a boy.
Yes.
Where is Jeab?
He just left.
Didn't he go play with you?
Do you still have lice, Noina?
No, they're all gone.
Right. Right again.
He can still fight back.
Mom, can I have something to eat?
Jeab, let's go play.
Tee.
Boy.
Jeck.
Stop.
Where the heck is Jeab now?
Mr. Park,
you have to punish Daoprasook.
If you don't do anything,
you will never hear the end of it.
Jack.
Jeab.
Jeab.
You just got lucky.
Try again, you won't make it.
- Mother.
- Yes?
When will Chaiklang come back?
I will ask him to punish this girl.
I hate her.
TRA WAI NAI DAUNG JIT
Here are your drinks.
I want another match.
This time the bet is 30 baht.
Deal.
But I have more players.
That doesn't concern me at all.
Good.
Are you chickening out?
Let's bet 40 baht.
Fang, I'm leaving now.
Good luck, Ms. Pakkard.
Right back at you, Fang.
I have to go now.
I left the ball to you.
Manosh,
why didn't you block that player?
Duh.
"Duh" what?
Boy, it's your fault.
You didn't make any saves at all.
Don't blame me.
You didn't play well either.
Will you stop arguing?
I bet Thar and his friends
spent the money on snacks already.
Dammit!
My money!
I'm so frustrated right now.
Hey, are you ready to play?
Where have you been, Jeab?
We lost the bet because of you.
I was watching TV.
Watching TV my ass.
You were playing with girls, right?
You were watching a soap opera
with Noina, weren't you?
I knew it.
You were there with that big
boobies, your girlfriend.
She's not my girlfriend!
Not your girlfriend?
Then, what kind of relationship
do they have?
She isn't your girlfriend
because she's your wife?
Big boobies is your wife.
Big boobies is your wife.
Big boobies is your wife.
Jeab.
Did you have a fight?
If you're fighting at this age you'll
probably fight more in the future.
It hurts, Mom.
Didn't it hurt when you fought?
Don't be such a wimp.
Take it easy, honey.
He's just a boy.
No, not that one!
- Mom!
- Gosh.
Stay still.
- I don't want that!
- The wounds won't heal
if we don't use this.
- Stay still.
- No!
Jeab!
Jack, weren't you too harsh on Jeab?
Jack did the right thing.
We must give him a lesson
or else, he will never learn.
Right.
If I didn't hurt him,
he wouldn't learn.
He asked for it.
Jeez.
Gently, Boy.
Guys,
from now on,
we won't talk to Jeab anymore.
Those who break the rules,
will be kicked out of our gang.
Som, you're it!
Hey.
Your role is a policeman
trying to track down
a cruel murderer.
All right. So what?
I'll be a female police officer.
Who will be the murderer?
What about Ngor?
Jeab.
Kick it.
I don't care.
What other people think of you.
I know you.
I know the real you.
People don't know.
That you have a good heart.
They don't understand.
They judge you without knowing you.
- Steal the ball.
- Come on!
They might not value you.
The same way I do.
I'm fine. Keep playing.
Nobody understands me like you do.
What's important.
Is we understand each other.
You are the person.
I most.
Care about.
- Come on, Jook.
- Ole, pass it to me.
- Ole.
- That's enough.
That's enough, Ole.
Jeab.
Wasn't it fun?
I'm just tired.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah?
Why did you fight with Jack?
I don't know.
Tee.
Boy.
Gotcha!
Tee.
- Prik.
- Wait.
- Tee.
- You didn't catch it.
Can you do this?
Give it back to me.
Can I play with you?
Why don't you play with girls?
You want to play with us?
- Yes.
- Well...
You have to pass
the "Real Man" test.
First,
ride a bike without
using your hands.
Start now!
Good job, dude!
You passed!
Second,
jumping off the high bridge.
Jump.
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
Hold on!
You passed!
Third.
- One, two.
- One, two.
- Three, four.
- Three, four.
- Five, six.
- Five, six.
- Seven, eight.
- Jeab, do you want to play?
Nine.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Jeab, see you
at the soccer field tomorrow.
Jeab, my dad told me
girls are forgetful.
You can tease them again tomorrow.
Hey, that's Jeab!
Jeab!
Hi, Jeab.
Jeab,
come sit with us.
Boy, go sit next to Tee.
Can I sit there?
- No, sit here.
- Fine.
You can sit with us every day.
Okay.
Prik, I'm going to be
a good student today.
I want to be in 5th grade.
- Good.
- For my mom.
I will be home late.
Hi. Can I have a bottle of soy milk?
You're drinking soy milk?
That's weird.
Here.
Don't be scared. It's me.
Is your mom home?
Maybe she wants to go
to the hair salon with me.
Yes, she's home.
Noina is home, too.
- See you.
- See you.
All done.
Pong, I want some snacks.
Okay.
Are you looking for Noina?
I came for a haircut.
I'll make you handsome.
A crew cut is outdated
for teenagers.
Let's try an American style.
Not a lot of customers today?
Wait.
That's your rival's son.
Why did he come here?
What rival?
He's the greatest.
I can't compare to him.
Noina, Jeab will be ready
to play with you after I've finished
cutting his hair.
My heart is fragile glass.
That was broken.
You broke it into pieces.
I'm hurt.
And so sad.
But you never really care.
Those mean words.
You've been speaking to me.
They're so awful I can't bare it.
I worship.
You as a god.
How could you hurt me like that?
Are you happy.
And satisfied now?
You made a woman go crazy.
Jeab.
What happened to your hair?
Make it shorter this time.
The weather is hot.
Samai!
You crossed the line.
I'm a barber.
I serve my customers.
But you know that Jeab is my son!
It's not my fault that your son didn't
want to get a haircut from you.
Jeab, go home!
- See you tomorrow.
- See you.
Honey, have you heard the news?
I was studying a textbook
but he kept bugging me.
Then, the teacher punished him.
It's so funny.
Do you want some shaved ice?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
What about you, Jeab?
I don't want to. You go ahead.
Let's go, guys.
- Go.
- Go.
Has Noina told you that her family is
moving away the day after tomorrow?
About this long?
Yes.
SAMAI BARBER
My turn.
BARBERSHOP FOR GENTLEMEN
Do I have to prove my skills again?
Move!
Damn!
Let's challenge other gangs.
I'm leaving. Everything's packed.
Samai.
- Goodbye, Charn.
- You're moving today?
- Why is it so sudden?
- Noina.
- Say goodbye.
- Come back some time, okay?
If you come back around here,
please stop by.
Why didn't you wake me up, Mom?
What's wrong with him?
I'm a little sad.
- Hey.
- Hey, Jeab!
Jeab, be careful!
Jeab!
Jeab, where are you going?
I'm following Noina.
They're moving away!
Who took my toy?
Manosh?
It's not me. I didn't take it.
If you tell me where it is,
I'll let you play with it first.
It's Prik!
Hey, Jeab!
Where are you guys going?
Jack, go straight and turn left.
Jack, it's steep!
The engine turned off.
What's wrong?
Hey!
Shit!
Hold tight, guys!
It's scary!
Be careful!
Start the engine!
The truck is moving faster.
Tee, your dad's wheels are so slow.
We should have ridden our bikes.
- Hurry up!
- Gosh.
- My dad will be so mad.
- Hurry up.
Get in. Hurry!
Get in. Get in!
Jack.
- Noina!
- Stop the car!
- Hey, Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina.
- Noina.
- Noina!
- The engine turned off again!
It won't start.
Let's push it!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Jeab, you have to make it!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Jeab, wake up!
- Jeab, wake up!
- Jeab, wake up!
- Let's play soccer!
- Wake up, Jeab!
Jeab, wake up!
- Get up already!
- Jeab, wake up.
Come on, Jeab.
Let's go, Jeab.
I was sad for a while.
We rode our bikes around the town.
FOR SALE
Everyday,
we discovered new things.
There were many things
to learn and play.
Let's get the back seats.
PETCHABUTI TO BANGKOK
I'm going to Bangkok
with my friends.
I have no homework today.
My mom allowed me to go.
Get in the car, Jack!
Come on, Jack.
I've been in love with you so long.
We live next door to one another.
But the distance is still there
I know this is it.
But I can't help myself.
You're the sky while I'm the ground
I'm done.
Forget it.
Eventually, my memories of Noina
began to fade.
Jeab.
Come on, Jeab.
We used to be best friends.
We got along so well.
Knew each other so well.
We were so close.
We cherished our friendship.
But we had to be apart.
We only meet from time to time.
We're so happy when we meet.
Talking all day all night.
One day, we met.
You were with your girlfriend.
She never left your side.
My heart was broken.
But I had to force a smile.
Concealing my sadness.
I just realized that I love you
Now, it's too late.
We will never be together
I'm drowning.
In my tears.
Jeab.
When did you arrive?
Why didn't you wake me up?
What did you say?
I asked you when you arrived.
Around three o'clock, I think.
Why are you digging
through your old stuff?
You should get some sleep.
I'm going to grab something to eat.
You should sleep.
I'll cook something delicious
for you when you wake up.
Hey, I thought you wouldn't come.
I changed my mind.
Hey, don't cut the
hair in the front.
- What about the side?
- Just around my eyes.
Okay.
TO JEAB AND FAMILY
SUNITA AND ANON
14TH JUNE 2003
I'm going to the market.
Do you want anything?
No, I'm fine.
Yes.
I'm at Petchaburi.
I've got some business to do here.
It's very important.
Just get married without me.
You can handle it, right?
Okay, see you.
Hold on.
Congratulations, dude.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Please sign here.
Here is the souvenir.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
SUNITA AND ANON
Coming back to my hometown,
it has become clear to me
that a lot of things have changed.
Both the places and the people.
I hardly recognize them.
For me,
there is one thing
that has never changed.
Jeab!
This girl with long hair,
red cheeks,
and sparkling eyes,
she is still the same
as the one in my memory.
And she will remain
the same forever.
I looked at you.
You turned your head
and our eyes met.
You made me think
That was love at first sight.
We fell for each other.
Our eyes said it all
I was sure we were in love.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
Days became months
I've been thinking of you
I wouldn't dare
confess my love to you.
Day after day
I still cannot say
I've been loving you.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
I was afraid
I wouldn't dare confess my love.
But I can't hold it in anymore
So I'll ask if you have someone.
I hope.
You'll say that.
You love me, too.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
CONGRATS, NOINA
FROM JEAB
Subtitle translation
by Pornsuda Noka
I see all the couples.
So full of love and happiness.
Kissing each other passionately.
When one of them is sick.
They care for the other
Until they are better.
They have many kids.
They are the future of the country.
Hey, it's 07:00 a.m.
We might make it there by noon.
It's too late to help him
with the ceremony.
Can you ask Thoe
what else I need to prepare?
You will get there before me.
The evening party will be held
in another hotel.
The morning session
is a Chinese wedding.
I've already taken care of that.
Yes.
Do you need that, too?
TO MR. CHATREE TRAIRAT
This guy. He's kind of a shy boy.
I didn't think he would be
the first one to get married.
He's the groom?
Yes.
When will you get married?
- When?
- I'm still waiting for the right one.
If that woman isn't as good as you,
I won't get married.
You're playing with fire.
Don't you know who I am?
- Please wait here for a minute.
- Okay.
Hello?
Yes. I'm picking up the suit
at the tailor.
I'm serious.
I have to try the suit on.
I might find my bride
at your wedding.
Where are you? I'm on my way now.
What's the matter?
I'm about to hit the highway.
I'll be there soon.
It's the weekend.
You don't work on weekends
even if you are in Bangkok.
Wrap it up, then.
Can't you take a day off
to come to your friend's wedding?
Even Yong is coming
all the way from Surat Thani.
Whatever.
I'm done trying to convince you.
I won't do it for you.
Call him yourself.
My hands are full right now.
I'll call you back.
Oh, Mom?
I'm not coming home this week.
I'm going to Nakhon Sawan.
Do you need anything?
Noina...
I remember her.
It's really set tomorrow?
I don't think I can make it.
My friend's wedding
is also scheduled tomorrow.
Are you going?
Wait, Mom.
You should go.
Please give her my best wishes.
All right. Bye, Mom.
We might think some memories
have completely faded.
The truth is, we've probably
just buried them
in the deepest part of our heart.
If we dig deep enough,
we might realize
that we've been carrying them
our entire life.
I'm not talking about
literally digging.
SAO, SAO, SAO - DOOR OF MY HEART
It can be like just
listening to a song
that reminds us of the past.
Once again, the memories
will be conjured up.
Knock knock knock, open the door.
To see who's there
I'm so fine and happy.
Why do I have to
Open the door of my heart?
Jeab!
Jeab!
Jeab, wake up.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up, Jeab!
The sun is already up.
Wake up, Jeab!
Take that!
Get up.
Go take a shower.
Go!
- Hurry up.
- This girl is Noina.
- Our friends won't wait.
- She's my childhood friend.
- Noina, come here.
- Come here.
- Come here, honey.
- Noina, come here.
- Noina, come.
- Let's play with Jeab.
- Let's play with Jeab.
- Come here.
Come here.
I was born a few seconds after her.
But it turned out that
she was born in the
Year of the Tiger
and I was born in the
Year of the Rabbit.
My house was in the shrine area
where there weren't a lot of boys
unlike in the market area.
Noina was the only kid
who's the same age as me.
She was bigger than me.
My Lady.
Shall we go to a romantic dinner?
- I would love to.
- I would have to play.
- Where are we going?
- Anything that she wanted.
Otherwise,
I had no one to play with.
I'll go wash and change.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Don't peek!
What sane person
would want to do that?
Noina was good at everything.
- Two, three, four, five.
- Nobody could beat her
at jump rope.
Eight, nine, ten.
She even got the nickname
Master of Jumping.
CHARNKESA
All done.
My house was a barbershop.
My dad had owned the shop
for over a decade.
Half of the men in our village,
- both young and old,
-Next, please.
Had been my dad's customers.
SAMAI BARBER
Noina's house was also a barbershop.
I'm hungry.
Do we have anything to eat?
You're always hungry after playing.
All right.
All done.
Noina's dad
was a painter before
he became a barber.
The other half of the
men in our village
were his customers.
Next, please.
My dad's signature style
was using a comb with
the hair clipper.
As a former artist,
Noina's dad had to create a mood
before cutting customers' hair.
His trusty tools were
scissors and a comb.
All done.
Wait.
All done.
Next, please.
Even though they used
different tools...
- A bottle of Coca-Cola, please.
- Okay.
Next, please.
...the results were
pretty much the same.
- A bottle of Pepsi, please.
- Okay.
The thing was,
their barbershops
were separated by just one shop.
They didn't get along very well.
They didn't want to share customers.
Each believed their
talent was greater.
Charn,
I would like to get a haircut.
My hair grows really fast.
Hey,
didn't you go to that barbershop
last time?
You know,
I don't like sharing customers.
My dad always got sulky
whenever his customers
went to his rival.
Noina's dad was exactly the same.
Samai,
a little trim at the
back like last time.
I'm not in the mood right now.
My mom told my dad
that people don't cut their hair
just once their whole lives.
They would get a haircut
every time their hair grew.
There was no use in being mad.
WENT OUT FOR A HAIRCUT.
WILL BE BACK AT 04:00 P.M.
Hey!
Downtown.
Even though our dads
hated each other,
our moms were best friends.
What's the matter?
You look so tired.
It's my husband.
He kept me up all night.
Jeab is not a little boy anymore.
But your husband still does it?
It's getting worse!
He's keeping me up
until the break of dawn.
Everybody thinks that
my mom is gentle.
You little rat!
The bath is for bathing,
not for playing!
But she was so harsh with me.
You played in the bathtub?
He always says I'm complaining.
- She complained a lot.
-But he won't clean if I don't complain.
She complained about anything.
From insignificant things
to the really big issues.
Where are you going?
To play with Noina.
The playground is just around the
corner. Why aren't you walking there?
Don't go to the market area.
There are many cars
on the main road.
Dang's grandson, Goh,
got hit by a car yesterday. Jeab!
Did he hear what I said?
If he gets hurt, I'll punish him.
He is as stubborn as his dad.
You guys never listen to what I say.
I never went to the
market area by myself.
But that day,
my mom's complains
made me want to do it.
A boy got hit!
- A boy got hit.
- Let's go see.
- The car hit him.
- He got hit.
A boy got hit by a car.
I never dared to ride a bike
across that road again since then.
Jeab.
Jook said she brought a new toy.
- Really?
- Let's play with it tomorrow.
She already brought it?
- Yes.
- How many does she have?
Let's find out tomorrow.
Mom, open the door, please.
I'm going home.
Bye-bye.
My mom was always waiting
whenever I got home late.
You are home late!
- Are you learning your lesson?
- She had a stick.
Does it hurt?
I don't understand
why you keep doing this.
- Sometimes...
-I'll hit you black and blue.
I wondered
why she hit me.
Jeab!
Jeab!
Wake up. Are you going to sleep
for the rest of your life?
The school bus is here.
Jeab!
I'm leaving now!
You little rat!
Why are you still sleeping?
Will you be in bed
until the end of the day?
Dad, hurry up! I'm going to be late!
Hey! Did your dad only pay
half of the school bus fee?
You get on the bus
like this every day.
We studied at a school downtown.
- Again?
- We had to take a bus for ten kilometers.
- He woke up late.
- Most of my classmates
- lived downtown.
- His dad dropped him off.
So I didn't have a lot of friends.
Let's play rubber bands today.
I've brought a lot of rubber bands.
You're bragging.
If you want to play,
meet me at the usual place.
Okay.
I beat the 6th graders yesterday.
There was this boy, Jack,
from the market area.
I got all of his money.
What a pity.
When I was in 2nd grade...
- Nice weather.
- Nice weather.
...Jack was in 4th grade.
When I was in 3rd grade,
Jack was still in 4th grade.
Finally,
- I caught up with him.
-Delicious.
- Foods.
- Foods.
- We eat them.
- We eat them.
Jack ate anything that was edible.
He was the gang leader
because he was the biggest.
You're awesome, Jack.
- Nailed it.
- This is Prik.
He was my classmate.
He was kind of Jack's buddy.
Prik really wanted to be a singer.
He could sing any song.
Jack, a legend like you
should challenge the 7th graders.
Right?
This is Manosh. He was in 3rd grade.
Excellent student.
Great athlete.
- Bad at expressing emotions.
-Awesome.
This is Tee.
He was adorable.
What chubby cheeks.
So round and smooth.
His dad had an icehouse.
Tee would help him every day.
Move faster!
This tiny guy is Boy.
Give it back to me, asshole!
You asshole!
His mom owned the market.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hi, dear. What are you buying?
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hi.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, dear.
Boy always had new toys
and bragged about them.
Let me watch.
- You're so annoying!
- Gosh.
It's mine!
You can't play it
if you don't let me watch.
What's the problem?
You selfish jerk.
Give it back to me.
Stop playing.
You keep hitting my head.
Gosh.
I can't hit your head?
Dammit! You son of a bitch!
What did you just call me, you jerk?
You're just bigger
then me but so what!
What's wrong with you?
Do you want a piece of me?
ANUBAN PETCHABURI SCHOOL
- See you at lunch break.
- All right.
It's eight o'clock.
4TH GRADE, ROOM 1
Let go of me!
All right.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- Four, five, six.
- Four, five, six.
Seven, eight, nine.
Ten.
Again?
Be more serious, dude.
I'll try my best.
- I won!
- Damn!
I almost won.
Watch the rubber band jump.
I'll beat you this time, Jack.
You're dead meat.
- I'll beat you.
- I won again!
I almost got it.
I got it! You're playing
with the wrong guy.
Can I play with you?
Okay.
Do you have rubber bands?
You can have mine for now.
Give them back to me next time.
He's not allowed to play!
Why can't I?
Boy doesn't have a pair.
I finally won!
Dammit! You're so annoying.
You're the reason we get to school
late and have to rush every morning.
You can't play with us.
Guys, let's play somewhere else.
Jack! Those are my rubber bands.
Kick the ball!
Tanapon Jaiyen,
from 1st grade, room 3,
please come see your parents
at the Administration Department.
What is that?
You lost. Go there.
Go there.
Hey, what is that?
What is it? I don't see anything.
Jack!
Take it!
I don't want it anymore.
You don't want it?
I'll eat it for you then.
What are we going to play tonight?
Let's play blowing
rubber bands again.
No. Let's play jump rope.
What about acting out Reincarnated?
Prik, you'll be Dugu Wu Di.
Tee, you'll be the Monk.
A handsome boy like me
will be Yun Fei Yang.
You always win at jump rope.
Come on.
Let's play family.
We haven't played it for a while.
Please.
Listen, I look the most Chinese,
so I'll be Yun Fei Yang.
All right.
But I will be Mom.
I want to be Mom, too.
Ngor.
What kind of family has two moms?
It's okay. I'll be the mistress.
- Me, too.
- Let me be a mistress.
- Please, Noina.
- Let me be a mistress.
No, that can't be!
No one else can be Yun Fei Yang.
I suit the role better than anyone.
Because I have a sword.
No!
I won't play if I'm not Mom.
Jeez.
- Ngor.
- What?
Do you still have the toy stove?
Yes, I still have it.
- Bring it with you.
- Okay.
Why don't we light a real fire?
What do you think?
I can't play with real fire.
My mom will get mad at me.
Gosh.
- Damn.
- You're dead!
- You're evil!
- Take that!
- And that.
- Die!
You four-eyed jerk!
You're a jerk!
- Goodbye.
- See you.
- Let's play cops next time.
- See you.
- We're having fun.
- Which part do you like?
I like that part when...
I'm sorry.
I can't eat your apology!
Let's go, Noina.
Are you going to
leave just like that?
I said I was sorry, fatty!
Who's a fatty?
I'm just a little chubby.
Well...
And you're in good shape?
Big boobs!
Save that for your mother!
Noina, you idiot!
See you later.
Good afternoon, Mom, Dad.
Hi, son.
I'm going out.
Don't you have any homework?
I'll do it later.
If the teacher punishes you
for not finishing
- your homework...
- You'll punish me, too.
Jeez.
Why are you laughing?
- Hey, Pieak, where are you going?
- To get some shaved ice.
There are a lot of cute girls there.
Do you want to come?
Die!
Damn!
Who's there?
What are you doing here?
I brought the rubber bands.
Can I play now?
We don't play with homos.
Just go back and
play with the girls.
Guys, let's play somewhere else.
Sweeties,
what are you cooking for dinner?
- Clear soup.
- Stir-fried water mimosa.
- Stir-fried mushroom.
- I have shrimp paste.
I have herb curry.
- It's...
- Look at you.
- ...made from leaves.
- Hang on.
I have chili paste.
Jeab, what took you so long?
I was riding my bike.
Sweeties, Dad's home.
- Yay!
- Daddy!
Have you brought
the Five Star chicken for me?
You'll gain weight if you eat
too much chicken.
I don't care. I like it.
- I like chicken, too.
- Please, Dad.
- I don't like it.
- I like chicken.
- I like chicken.
- Please, Daddy.
- Jeab.
- What?
Do you want to make real pastry?
Are you allowed to
play with real fire?
I don't know.
I'll ask my mom.
What about the others?
It's okay. We can play alone.
But you have to eat all of them.
Okay.
Okay?
Thanks a lot, Jeab.
Bye-bye.
Get inside. You're so sweaty.
Go take a shower.
It's late.
Where are they going?
This is so annoying.
I've been looking for them all day.
Really?
It's not your business, Chainoi.
Aim, take him inside.
You came home around
drama time again.
Do I have to hit you every day?
Do I?
Why can't you behave
like other people's kids?
Why can't you be gentle
like other kids' moms?
Noina's mom never hits her.
- Good morning, teacher.
- Good morning, teacher.
Please sit down.
I have a meeting
about Children's Day.
Please quietly study your textbook.
- Tanit.
- Yes?
Give me the names of those who talk.
I'll punish them later.
Roger that.
I'll be back.
Please keep quiet.
Hey, can I borrow
the new volume of Doraemon?
- I said it first.
- I said it first.
Let's go!
You can't bite us!
What fish is this?
Sopa.
Sopa.
CHILDREN'S DAY 1985
Tanapon Jaiyen...
- Let's go. Hurry up.
- I'll follow you.
- Am I handsome, Dad?
- Yes, you are.
Let's go.
Dear viewers,
Prem Tinsulanonda
is giving a speech
for Children's Day.
CHILDREN'S DAY 1985
BE UNITED, HAVE
DISCIPLINE, CHERISH MORALS
Parents who have not done so
please come
to the meeting hall immediately.
The student performances
will begin soon.
Why were you so sulky yesterday?
Who made you mad?
Who did that to you?
You looked like you wanted to punch
That person in the face.
Excuse me. Was it me?
You are sulky again
Are you still mad at me?
Please tell me why.
Otherwise, I have to guess.
You're mad because I'm clueless?
Because I'm so innocent and slow?
Am I right? I bet I am.
This is what you get
When you only have one love.
Your son is cute.
Thank you.
I don't care about other girls.
I only care for you.
Love is not a shining star.
Nor a beaming ray of sun.
Nor a mighty mountain.
Why do people keep looking for it?
Sometimes, love makes me sad.
But sometimes, it makes me so happy.
Insincere love is nothing.
But an illusion for me.
Love is the moon.
Love is the moon.
Love is the sun.
Love is the sun.
Love is a pointless passion.
For me, love is.
For me, love is.
An illusion.
An illusion.
That I think about every night.
Love is not a shining star.
Neither a beaming sunshine.
Nor a mighty mountain.
- Hey.
- What?
Aren't you going to give
this rose to Noina?
Give it to her.
Go.
I'll give it to her
when she gets off the stage.
I'm shy.
Why don't you just give it to her
at home, then?
Can you give it to her?
I'm shy. Please.
- Me?
- Yes.
No way. I'm shy, too.
You should do it.
You're her mom.
Love is the moon.
Love is the moon.
Jeab can do it for you.
What do you think?
Good idea. Here.
Jeab, give this rose to Noina.
Her mom is shy.
For me, love is.
For me, love is.
An illusion.
An illusion.
That I think about every night.
Noina.
Sometimes.
- Love makes me sad
- It's from your mom.
But sometimes, it makes me so happy.
Insincere love is nothing.
- It's good having a day off.
- Yes.
Where are you taking Jeab tomorrow?
We'll go to Hua Hin.
Jeab wants to travel by train.
- His dad will come, too.
- I see.
What about your family?
I don't know. I'll ask my husband.
Do you want to come with us?
I'm sure my husband won't go.
- You see?
- I told you.
- Mommy, Daddy.
- Let's eat.
I want to have some cakes.
How can I do that?
You don't have to do it.
I'll do it for the kids.
- Honey.
- What?
I brought you a tie.
It goes well with your shirt.
Looks good.
Do I look good?
- You're handsome.
- So handsome.
Handsome.
I'm sorry.
I was just kidding.
- Here is your lunchbox.
- Okay.
Dad, you better hurry.
You'll be late.
- Hurry up.
- Go.
- Don't be back home too late.
- Okay.
Let's go to school.
"Here is your lunchbox."
- "Hurry up, Dad."
- "Hurry up."
- "We'll be late for school."
- "We'll be late for school."
"Honey,
don't be back home too late."
"Okay, sweetie.
I'll come home to you."
"Come on, honey,
I'm so shy.
People are looking at us."
You jerk!
You fatty! Don't you dare tease us!
It's disgusting.
I don't care if you're fat.
I love you just the way you are.
I don't care if Mom's fat,
I love her just the way she is.
Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty.
- Fatty!
- Fatty!
Where is Dad going?
Why did you come here?
You better go back to your area.
What a mouth.
You're following him to make
out, right?
Here they are.
Sao, Sao, Sao!
We're in love.
What a ridiculous destiny.
I'm a stingy girl.
You're a boring boy.
Jeab, wait for me.
A boring boy who likes clear soup.
Our relationship will last.
Where are you going?
It's like eating clear soup
With fermented crab.
We're a couple.
We're a couple.
We fight when we're together.
We miss each other when we're apart.
We're yin and yang but we're happy.
Sometimes, other people wonder.
Why are we together?
Jeab, wait for me.
Jeab.
I'm a stingy girl.
You're a boring boy.
I like fermented crab.
What's wrong with him?
Didn't he see that I
was watching the TV?
Jeab.
Noina can't play with you today.
Her mom wouldn't allow her to.
Why?
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy. Lice girl.
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
- Lice girl!
- Lice girl!
- Lice boy!
- Lice boy!
Hey, don't let the lice
drop onto your tray!
How can a boy have lice?
You're giving me so much trouble.
- Mom, it hurts!
- Hey.
I have to do this.
Otherwise, the lice won't die.
I have an idea.
Ngor, do you still have lice?
They're almost gone.
My mom brushed my
hair with a nit comb.
The best way is to use kerosene.
Yuck. I won't use that.
It smells bad.
You can get rid of
it the way Ole did.
I love you, I only love you.
No girls get my attention.
I only love you, too
All of my heart is yours.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I will always love you
Even if the sun doesn't rise.
Even if the land dies.
Even if the earth is falling apart
I will still love you.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I love you, I only love you.
No girls get my attention
I only love you, too
All of my heart is yours.
Nothing can change my love for you.
I will always love you
Even if the sun doesn't rise.
Even if the land dies.
Hey!
Let's have a match.
Losing team has to pay.
You in?
We're in.
We have six players.
You only have five.
Are you good?
Yeah. That's fine.
You can have six players.
We play with five.
Boy.
Here.
The price is 20 baht.
Three goals to win.
Super defensive.
Super defensive.
I passed you the ball, Prik.
Take it.
Super defensive.
What the heck were you doing?
Manosh.
Pass the ball to me, Manosh!
- Pass it.
- Damn!
- Jack, pass the ball.
- Attack him.
- Manosh's there alone.
- Manosh, move forward.
Attack him, Jack!
- Good!
- Gosh.
Come on!
Right, split up!
Why did you pass it to me?
- You can't move forward, then come back!
- Take them.
Petch.
- Yes.
- Jeez.
Ez.
Shoot!
Boy, pass the ball to me!
- Prik, come here.
- Shit.
- Tee, attack him.
- Thar!
Manosh, get the ball.
Tee, he's going to score!
Boy!
What kind of goalkeeper are you?
His kick was strong and fast!
How could I catch it?
You guys suck, too.
You let them move forward.
You idiot! They scored in a second.
But you forgot to defend.
You too, Manosh.
Why didn't you block him?
What about you Prik?
I was blocking Petch!
I was blocking Thar, too.
Then how did they score?
- We have one less player.
- Right, we have one less player.
You're right.
They look so weak.
But their skills are strong.
Jack.
What?
The lice boy.
- What lice boy?
- That lice boy.
Hey, are you guys still playing?
Block them, okay?
Don't let them score.
- Understood?
- Yes.
Play well, all right?
- Let's start.
- Go.
They're coming.
Hey, Prik and Manosh!
Go block Thar. Steal the ball!
- Come on, Prik.
- Pass it to me.
- Manosh.
- Petch, pass it to me.
- Petch.
- Shit.
- That's a foul!
- Kick.
Lice boy, block them!
I'm kicking it.
They're coming!
Come on.
- What the heck?
- Hey.
Come on, man!
- Petch.
- Prik, go there.
Pass the ball, you idiot!
Pass the ball to each other!
Tee and Manosh, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Damn. I'm getting tired.
Pass the ball there.
- Come on, Prik.
- Petch.
Prik, pass the ball.
Petch.
We both have two points now!
You're awesome!
Manosh, pass it to Tee.
- Tee is here.
- Manosh, pass me the ball.
- It's Jack.
- Come here.
Shoot!
- They missed.
- Tee, steal the ball.
They're forwarding!
Shoot, man. Shoot!
Boy, make a save!
- Good job, Boy.
- Good job, Boy.
Lice boy, pass the ball. Come on.
- Petch.
- Prik, get the ball.
Manosh, get the ball.
Good job, Manosh. Pass it to me.
- Manosh.
- Manosh, move forward.
Come on.
I didn't know you were
a good player, lice boy.
Stop calling him "lice boy."
His name is Jeab.
Let me know if you want
another match, Mr. Thar.
Sucker!
Sucker. Sucker. Sucker.
Sucker.
If I hadn't passed the ball to Jeab,
he wouldn't have been able to shoot.
That's true.
Thar and his friends are so sad.
Jeab, let's go.
Let's find something
refreshing to drink.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's go.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Rice plants for an audience.
As well as the crabs.
Sugar palm trees as stereo speakers.
Sugar palm trees as stereo speakers
That give a sweet sound.
The earth as the stage.
The stage is the earth.
Banana leaf for a guitar.
Banana leaf for a guitar.
And firewood as a microphone.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
We also have dancers.
Those are our dancers.
Coconut shells as percussion.
Coconut shells as percussion
And we have hibiscus garlands.
Somchai is a drummer.
Sompong is Somchai's brother.
We have many singers.
We have many hosts.
It's all fun and happy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Welcome, people.
To a concert in the
middle of rice fields.
We sing ourselves,
there's no fee to join.
Sit on your mat and enjoy the show.
- See you tomorrow, guys.
- See you.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Mom, I'm home.
Open the door, please.
Watch my ear.
I know.
I'm going out.
This early in the morning?
I'm going to play with my friends.
You never get up this early
on school days.
Honey.
You always scold him,
regardless if he gets up early
or if he gets up late.
You're not the one who wakes him up
on school days.
Hey!
I'm the one who drops him off
on the school bus.
I think this side is okay now.
Move to the other
side, so it's even.
Hey.
I'm not a barber.
I'm a barber's wife.
- Come on.
- This is the best that I can do.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Listen.
I'm his mother.
Why can't I scold him?
If you spoil him like this,
he will become a spoiled brat.
What are you talking about?
It's not a problem
if you want to teach him lessons.
But waking up late
doesn't make him a bad person.
He's just a boy.
That's the thing. He's a boy.
Yes.
Where is Jeab?
He just left.
Didn't he go play with you?
Do you still have lice, Noina?
No, they're all gone.
Right. Right again.
He can still fight back.
Mom, can I have something to eat?
Jeab, let's go play.
Tee.
Boy.
Jeck.
Stop.
Where the heck is Jeab now?
Mr. Park,
you have to punish Daoprasook.
If you don't do anything,
you will never hear the end of it.
Jack.
Jeab.
Jeab.
You just got lucky.
Try again, you won't make it.
- Mother.
- Yes?
When will Chaiklang come back?
I will ask him to punish this girl.
I hate her.
TRA WAI NAI DAUNG JIT
Here are your drinks.
I want another match.
This time the bet is 30 baht.
Deal.
But I have more players.
That doesn't concern me at all.
Good.
Are you chickening out?
Let's bet 40 baht.
Fang, I'm leaving now.
Good luck, Ms. Pakkard.
Right back at you, Fang.
I have to go now.
I left the ball to you.
Manosh,
why didn't you block that player?
Duh.
"Duh" what?
Boy, it's your fault.
You didn't make any saves at all.
Don't blame me.
You didn't play well either.
Will you stop arguing?
I bet Thar and his friends
spent the money on snacks already.
Dammit!
My money!
I'm so frustrated right now.
Hey, are you ready to play?
Where have you been, Jeab?
We lost the bet because of you.
I was watching TV.
Watching TV my ass.
You were playing with girls, right?
You were watching a soap opera
with Noina, weren't you?
I knew it.
You were there with that big
boobies, your girlfriend.
She's not my girlfriend!
Not your girlfriend?
Then, what kind of relationship
do they have?
She isn't your girlfriend
because she's your wife?
Big boobies is your wife.
Big boobies is your wife.
Big boobies is your wife.
Jeab.
Did you have a fight?
If you're fighting at this age you'll
probably fight more in the future.
It hurts, Mom.
Didn't it hurt when you fought?
Don't be such a wimp.
Take it easy, honey.
He's just a boy.
No, not that one!
- Mom!
- Gosh.
Stay still.
- I don't want that!
- The wounds won't heal
if we don't use this.
- Stay still.
- No!
Jeab!
Jack, weren't you too harsh on Jeab?
Jack did the right thing.
We must give him a lesson
or else, he will never learn.
Right.
If I didn't hurt him,
he wouldn't learn.
He asked for it.
Jeez.
Gently, Boy.
Guys,
from now on,
we won't talk to Jeab anymore.
Those who break the rules,
will be kicked out of our gang.
Som, you're it!
Hey.
Your role is a policeman
trying to track down
a cruel murderer.
All right. So what?
I'll be a female police officer.
Who will be the murderer?
What about Ngor?
Jeab.
Kick it.
I don't care.
What other people think of you.
I know you.
I know the real you.
People don't know.
That you have a good heart.
They don't understand.
They judge you without knowing you.
- Steal the ball.
- Come on!
They might not value you.
The same way I do.
I'm fine. Keep playing.
Nobody understands me like you do.
What's important.
Is we understand each other.
You are the person.
I most.
Care about.
- Come on, Jook.
- Ole, pass it to me.
- Ole.
- That's enough.
That's enough, Ole.
Jeab.
Wasn't it fun?
I'm just tired.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah?
Why did you fight with Jack?
I don't know.
Tee.
Boy.
Gotcha!
Tee.
- Prik.
- Wait.
- Tee.
- You didn't catch it.
Can you do this?
Give it back to me.
Can I play with you?
Why don't you play with girls?
You want to play with us?
- Yes.
- Well...
You have to pass
the "Real Man" test.
First,
ride a bike without
using your hands.
Start now!
Good job, dude!
You passed!
Second,
jumping off the high bridge.
Jump.
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
- Jump! Jump! Jump!
Hold on!
You passed!
Third.
- One, two.
- One, two.
- Three, four.
- Three, four.
- Five, six.
- Five, six.
- Seven, eight.
- Jeab, do you want to play?
Nine.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
Jeab, see you
at the soccer field tomorrow.
Jeab, my dad told me
girls are forgetful.
You can tease them again tomorrow.
Hey, that's Jeab!
Jeab!
Hi, Jeab.
Jeab,
come sit with us.
Boy, go sit next to Tee.
Can I sit there?
- No, sit here.
- Fine.
You can sit with us every day.
Okay.
Prik, I'm going to be
a good student today.
I want to be in 5th grade.
- Good.
- For my mom.
I will be home late.
Hi. Can I have a bottle of soy milk?
You're drinking soy milk?
That's weird.
Here.
Don't be scared. It's me.
Is your mom home?
Maybe she wants to go
to the hair salon with me.
Yes, she's home.
Noina is home, too.
- See you.
- See you.
All done.
Pong, I want some snacks.
Okay.
Are you looking for Noina?
I came for a haircut.
I'll make you handsome.
A crew cut is outdated
for teenagers.
Let's try an American style.
Not a lot of customers today?
Wait.
That's your rival's son.
Why did he come here?
What rival?
He's the greatest.
I can't compare to him.
Noina, Jeab will be ready
to play with you after I've finished
cutting his hair.
My heart is fragile glass.
That was broken.
You broke it into pieces.
I'm hurt.
And so sad.
But you never really care.
Those mean words.
You've been speaking to me.
They're so awful I can't bare it.
I worship.
You as a god.
How could you hurt me like that?
Are you happy.
And satisfied now?
You made a woman go crazy.
Jeab.
What happened to your hair?
Make it shorter this time.
The weather is hot.
Samai!
You crossed the line.
I'm a barber.
I serve my customers.
But you know that Jeab is my son!
It's not my fault that your son didn't
want to get a haircut from you.
Jeab, go home!
- See you tomorrow.
- See you.
Honey, have you heard the news?
I was studying a textbook
but he kept bugging me.
Then, the teacher punished him.
It's so funny.
Do you want some shaved ice?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
What about you, Jeab?
I don't want to. You go ahead.
Let's go, guys.
- Go.
- Go.
Has Noina told you that her family is
moving away the day after tomorrow?
About this long?
Yes.
SAMAI BARBER
My turn.
BARBERSHOP FOR GENTLEMEN
Do I have to prove my skills again?
Move!
Damn!
Let's challenge other gangs.
I'm leaving. Everything's packed.
Samai.
- Goodbye, Charn.
- You're moving today?
- Why is it so sudden?
- Noina.
- Say goodbye.
- Come back some time, okay?
If you come back around here,
please stop by.
Why didn't you wake me up, Mom?
What's wrong with him?
I'm a little sad.
- Hey.
- Hey, Jeab!
Jeab, be careful!
Jeab!
Jeab, where are you going?
I'm following Noina.
They're moving away!
Who took my toy?
Manosh?
It's not me. I didn't take it.
If you tell me where it is,
I'll let you play with it first.
It's Prik!
Hey, Jeab!
Where are you guys going?
Jack, go straight and turn left.
Jack, it's steep!
The engine turned off.
What's wrong?
Hey!
Shit!
Hold tight, guys!
It's scary!
Be careful!
Start the engine!
The truck is moving faster.
Tee, your dad's wheels are so slow.
We should have ridden our bikes.
- Hurry up!
- Gosh.
- My dad will be so mad.
- Hurry up.
Get in. Hurry!
Get in. Get in!
Jack.
- Noina!
- Stop the car!
- Hey, Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina!
- Noina.
- Noina.
- Noina!
- The engine turned off again!
It won't start.
Let's push it!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Jeab, you have to make it!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Noina!
Jeab, wake up!
- Jeab, wake up!
- Jeab, wake up!
- Let's play soccer!
- Wake up, Jeab!
Jeab, wake up!
- Get up already!
- Jeab, wake up.
Come on, Jeab.
Let's go, Jeab.
I was sad for a while.
We rode our bikes around the town.
FOR SALE
Everyday,
we discovered new things.
There were many things
to learn and play.
Let's get the back seats.
PETCHABUTI TO BANGKOK
I'm going to Bangkok
with my friends.
I have no homework today.
My mom allowed me to go.
Get in the car, Jack!
Come on, Jack.
I've been in love with you so long.
We live next door to one another.
But the distance is still there
I know this is it.
But I can't help myself.
You're the sky while I'm the ground
I'm done.
Forget it.
Eventually, my memories of Noina
began to fade.
Jeab.
Come on, Jeab.
We used to be best friends.
We got along so well.
Knew each other so well.
We were so close.
We cherished our friendship.
But we had to be apart.
We only meet from time to time.
We're so happy when we meet.
Talking all day all night.
One day, we met.
You were with your girlfriend.
She never left your side.
My heart was broken.
But I had to force a smile.
Concealing my sadness.
I just realized that I love you
Now, it's too late.
We will never be together
I'm drowning.
In my tears.
Jeab.
When did you arrive?
Why didn't you wake me up?
What did you say?
I asked you when you arrived.
Around three o'clock, I think.
Why are you digging
through your old stuff?
You should get some sleep.
I'm going to grab something to eat.
You should sleep.
I'll cook something delicious
for you when you wake up.
Hey, I thought you wouldn't come.
I changed my mind.
Hey, don't cut the
hair in the front.
- What about the side?
- Just around my eyes.
Okay.
TO JEAB AND FAMILY
SUNITA AND ANON
14TH JUNE 2003
I'm going to the market.
Do you want anything?
No, I'm fine.
Yes.
I'm at Petchaburi.
I've got some business to do here.
It's very important.
Just get married without me.
You can handle it, right?
Okay, see you.
Hold on.
Congratulations, dude.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Please sign here.
Here is the souvenir.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
SUNITA AND ANON
Coming back to my hometown,
it has become clear to me
that a lot of things have changed.
Both the places and the people.
I hardly recognize them.
For me,
there is one thing
that has never changed.
Jeab!
This girl with long hair,
red cheeks,
and sparkling eyes,
she is still the same
as the one in my memory.
And she will remain
the same forever.
I looked at you.
You turned your head
and our eyes met.
You made me think
That was love at first sight.
We fell for each other.
Our eyes said it all
I was sure we were in love.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
Days became months
I've been thinking of you
I wouldn't dare
confess my love to you.
Day after day
I still cannot say
I've been loving you.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
I was afraid
I wouldn't dare confess my love.
But I can't hold it in anymore
So I'll ask if you have someone.
I hope.
You'll say that.
You love me, too.
It was love.
It was love at first sight.
You stayed in my heart since then.
My heart kept calling your name.
It dreamed of you everyday.
I love you.
My first love.
CONGRATS, NOINA
