My Girl Page #2

Synopsis: 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.

Son of a b*tch!

You calling my mother a b*tch?

You think you're tough coz

you're so big.

Right! You're in for it!

- See you at lunchtime.

- OK.

It's 8 a.m.

(national anthem)

OK. Jump!

Let's play for real.

Ha! Take that! Ha!

This time I'm serious.

You're dead meat, Jack.

Nearly... Hooray! I won!

Can I play?

Sure.

You got any rubber bands?

Use mine. Pay me back next time.

He's not playing.

But Boy's got no-one to play with.

I got it!

Jeez! You're annoying!

You make us late for school.

I said you're not playing!

Let's play some other place.

Hey! Where are my rubber bands, Jack?

You're on the end!

What's that over there?

I don't see anything.

Jack! Take it! I don't want it now.

You don't want it? Then I'll eat it.

What are we going to play today?

Let's play Rubber Bands again.

No... let's play elastics.

Let's play Chinese swordfights!

Prik, you'll be the villain.

Dtee, you're the emperor.

I'm the best looking

so I'll be the hero.

Every time we play, you always win!

Can't we play mothers and fathers

instead? We haven't played for ages.

I look the most Chinese.

I should be the hero.

Whatever. But I'll be the mother.

I want to be mother, too!

Who has two mothers, Ngor??

Then... I'll be the mistress!

I want to be the mistress, too!

No way! No way! Nobody's the hero

...except for me.

Because I'm the only one

who has a sword.

If I can't be the mother

I'm not playing.

Ngor, let's make cupcakes at your place.

Okay!

Let's do that then.

Are we going to pretend to make them,

or make them for real?

Mom won't let us make them for real.

She'll hit me.

Idiot! Take that! Idiot!

See you later.

Sorry.

Sorry won't bring my ice-cream back.

Come on, Noi Nah. Let's go.

Hey! What about my ice-cream?

I said sorry. What else do you

want me to do, Fatty?

Who's Fatty? This isn't fat!

They call this pleasantly plump.

Anyway who's asking, big tits?

Your mother has big tits.

Watch it, Noi Nah!

Hurry on over.

- Hi Dad, hi Mom.

- Hi.

See you, Mom.

What about your homework?

I'll do it when I get back.

If you don't do your homework

and your teacher hits you...

I know, you'll hit me twice over.

What's so funny?

- Where are you going?

- To get an ice-cream.

- Let's check out the girls there.

- Come on. We'll come too.

Who's that?

What are you doing around here?

I brought my rubber bands.

I want to play.

We don't play with sissies.

Go play with the girls.

Let's go some other place.

What shall we cook today, children?

Clear soup and a herbal curry.

Hold on.

Jeab, why are you so late?

I was riding my bike.

Children! Your father's home.

Daddy... can we have

grilled chicken for dinner?

If you eat too much chicken

you'll get fat.

No I won't. I like chicken.

I like it too. Me too.

Let's make cupcakes, Jeab.

Are we making them for real?

I don't know. We'll have to ask Mom.

What about the others?

Never mind. If they don't play...

you have to eat all the cupcakes.

OK.

OK?

Thanks Jeab.

Bye bye.

You're all sweaty.

Into the shower. It's late.

Mind your own business.

Let me take you inside.

Late again. You're so late

the soapies have started.

I have to hit you every day.

Why can't you be like other children?

Why can't you be like other mothers?

Noi Nah's mother never hits her.

Good morning, teacher.

Sit down. I have to attend a meeting

about Children's Day.

Sit quietly and get your books out.

Jack, write down the names of anybody

who talks

I'll be back shortly.

Yes, Miss.

Remember to keep quiet.

Gimme your new Doraemon comic.

Me first!

Our minds are in sync,

brand new love.

Head over heels in love

I give you my heart

I wouldn't be myself

without you around.

You make me feel so warm

secret rendezvous at 6 a.m.,

it's such a wondrous

feeling every time.

You're more beautiful than a goddess,

as lovely as the moon.

You probably see me as a hero.

Our minds are in sync,

brand new love.

Head over heels in love

I give you my heart

I wouldn't be myself without you around.

You make me feel so warm.

A secret rendezvous at 6 a.m.,

Thanapol Traiyen, a Grade One student,

please meet your parents

at the Administration Block.

How do I look?

Very handsome.

Prime Minister Prem is making the opening

address for National Children's Day.

I'd like to invite all parents

and students into the auditorium.

The show is about to begin!

Why were you pouting yesterday?

Why the long face?

Who made you angry? Who did it?

I'll set him straight.

Oh... was it me? When did I upset you?

Is this just revenge?

Tell me the truth, or must I guess?

Are you mad coz I'm sincere

...loyal to you?

Well yes it's true.

Anyone in love is like that.

Your son is very cute.

Thank you.

Love is not a twinkling star,

nor hot like the sun's rays...

Love isn't a high mountain.

Why do we look for love?

Sometimes love makes us sad,

sometimes it makes us happy.

Every night I dream,

love is like the moon, like the sun,

like a hot burning flame.

Didn't you bring this rose for Noi Nah?

When are you going to give it to her?

Wait till she gets offstage.

I'm too embarrassed to give it to her now.

Why did you even bring it then?

You give it to her.

I'm not game either. She's our daughter.

You should do it.

I know. Let's get Jeab to give it to her.

Good idea.

Jeab... give this to Noi Nah.

Noi Nah. This is from your mother.

It's nice to have a day off.

Where are you taking Jeab tomorrow?

Hua Hin. Jeab wants to take the train.

His father's coming, too.

What about you?

Not sure yet.

I'll have to ask my husband.

Why don't you come with us?

My husband would never agree to it.

Mommy... Daddy... I want some cakes.

What do you want me to do?

Nothing. I'll make it.

Father, I brought you a new tie.

It's beautiful!

Do I look handsome?

Very handsome! Yuck.

Sorry. Just kidding.

Don't forget your lunch. Here it is.

I'm off to work.

I don't want to be late.

Hurry to work and hurry home, Father!

Off to school, children.

Don't forget your lunch, darling.

Hurry Father.

Or we'll be late for school!

Hurry to work and hurry home, Father!

Yes, sweetheart.

I'll rush back to be by your side.

Oh I'm so embarrassed!

Everybody's watching me!

Fat as a pig. Black as mud.

And now you're acting like a woman.

My wife might be fat and ugly,

but I still love her!

Yes. My mother might be fat and ugly,

but I still love her.

Fat and ugly! Fat and ugly!

Fat and ugly! Fat and ugly!

Where are you going, Father?

You live over there.

What are you doing on this side?

That's right...

go and make up with your husband!

And now, please welcome Sao Sao Sao!

Our love is like a dream come true.

Was Cupid joking around?

I'm stingy,

and you're no oil painting.

I like salted crab,

you like clear soup.

We'll probably love each other

forever coz crab goes well with soup!
