Cemetery of Splendour Page #4

---

Over here.

This is a prince's dressing room.

It's full of mirrors.

Why do they need so many mirrors?

Palace intrigue, I guess.

To see people sneaking up on them.

Can you see me?

Yes, from head to toe.

How about here?

Let's go.

This is the golden bathroom.

The sink is made from Burmese jade.

So this was a royal bathroom?

This is the foot basin.

It's made of pink stone.

Have you seen pink stone before?

This is the first time in my life.

Everything looks so luxurious.

Bend down.

We're next to the bed.

Its four legs

are carved like crocodile feet.

I remember this place.

Come here, ltt.

Another leg.

Wait...

We're entering the music room.

The mayor planned this place

to showcase the northeast region.

But then the floods came.

A tycoon the size of an ant

is always noticed.

But a pauper as large as a mountain

is completely ignored.

Hunger for heaven

will lead you to hell.

Time left unused... is the longest time.

When we offend someone,

we want to be forgiven.

But when we are offended,

we forget how to forgive.

Come take a look.

This is like when I was young

in Nong Khai.

Bombs were flying in from Laos.

I can remember the siren.

M, come here.

Isn't it profound?

I used to come here often,

when I was confused.

What were you confused about?

Mostly about love.

Are you still confused?

You should know, my little pup.

They outdid my palace decor.

But I prefer your palace.

Comfortable?

Beflen

You know my first husband

was also a soldier?

His name was Narong,

Corporal Narong Jansuda.

When I was twenty,

I eloped with him.

A monster...

You're a soldier magnet!

And one without borders.

But I'd prefer a European husband.

Americans are too poor.

Europeans

are living the American dream.

The breath of love that never fades

Not lonesome am I, my dear

Though the many years that pass by

My heart is still full of love

Those days... alone... you and me...

Every night from now

The stars shine in our favour forever

Heaven was created for us to meet

Heaven is destroyed for us if we part

But freedom is in my body

While destiny fills my heart

The heaven inside my heart

Through summer and spring with you

The memory of winter

I miss you... you who were here...

The breath of love that never fades

Not lonesome am I, my dear

Though the many years that pass by

My heart is still full of love

This is my favourite song, ltt.

- What is it?

- Something in your eye.

I think I'm dreaming, ltt.

I just want to wake up.

Then just open your eyes wide.

Like this.

Wider.

Very good.

Jen...

Of all the places we've been,

this is by far the most opulent.

But devoid of decoration.

Not even gold?

No!

From here you can see

the most fertile lands.

Fields full of rice

and rivers full of fish.

It looks lonely.

I see everything clearly now, ltt.

Yes?

At the heart of the kingdom,

other than rice fields,

there is nothing.

You will live long, ltt.

Our metabolism slows while we sleep.

Save yourself for a better future.

Where are you now, m'?

Underground or here?

Both, I guess.

Look at this.

Does it look scary to you?

I don't think so.

There's more.

- Does it hurt here?

- Not really.

How about here?

No, only with certain movements.

The surgery costs

100,000 Baht per centimetre.

My right leg is 10 cm shorter

than the left.

Just shorten the other leg then.

I knew you'd say that.

See?

I can read your mind.

Here, Jen.

I can sense every smell here.

Really?

What next?

"I can feel the temperature

of the lights."

I can feel the temperature

of the lights.

Then you must be Superman.

"And the flower in my dream."

I could really smell the flower

in my dream.

This is Richard's.

For his brain,

to fight Alzheimer's and arthritis.

This is goji berry.

Ginkgo biloba.

Mix them together.

Richard used to break dishes a lot.

They'd slip from his hands.

After drinking this,

he doesn't drop things anymore.

It helps me stay awake.

You won't fall asleep again.

Try it.

What if I wake at the pavilion

and go back home,

will you be OK with that?

Sure.

You know, when you're asleep,

even the bright city lights

feel dull.

No one has said that to me before.

Drink it.

No, thanks.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

It's therapy.

Can you sense the energy?

It tickles.

Why are you pouring it out?

Trust me.

Stop it!

It's full of germs.

You're like a little puppy.

Jen...

Jen.

Jen...

Tell me what you see.

Where are you?

What?

I'm not sure.

Suddenly, I can read your mind.

I have seen your dream.

And I have seen yours.

Don't fall asleep yet, please.

Do you know what they're digging for?

It's a secret government project.

It's so secret,

that they're digging out in the open.

Soon, they will move us away.

I'd prefer to sleep here.

You're right.

This is a good place to sleep.

There's a mountain of bricks.

It spreads out like a flower blossom.

It stretches to the sky.

To devour the sun.

It is very far away.

It looks ominous and fearsome.

It pretends to be...

a pure and flawless being.

Pretends to be as soft as a child's palm.

Before it disappears,

the wall bulges

and changes shape.

As if it knows, that when it falls,

it would be an astounding sight to behold.
