On the Beach Page #3

What?

No way.

Yeah. He cut his wrists

open in a hotel room

on the Khao San Road.

You have seen this?

Well, I came afterwards.

Well, that's sad news.

He was one of the founders

of our community.

Oh.

But he became depressed.

This is crazy.

The police didn't know

what to do with the body,

so I guess they're gonna,

like, incinerate him

or something.

do you think he gave

a map to anybody else?

I--I, no.

I don't think so.

And you, have you shown

this map to anybody?

No.

No.

No.

Good.

We value our secrecy.

Yeah, burn!

Let's gag one.

# Ooh, me #

You hear that?

You hear that?

Look at that.

# I think that I am

going out of my mind #

# Going out of my #

# Hey, woman #

# It's all right #

# Hey #

# Hey #

C'est magnifique.

# Hey #

Oh. It's so f***ing

beautiful, man.

Neighbors.

Hey. I've got

your oils, man.

Here. I want to

give you something.

Listen up, everybody.

Okay. Tomorrow I will travel

for many miles on a bicycle.

Um, Vicki.

Uh, uh,

sutra cuputovati

mnogo millja biciklom.

Great. Very good. Helene.

Very good.

Sutra cuputovati

mnogo millja biciklom.

Very good. Keaty?

All right.

It's far too easy, though.

Yes. Okay. Sutra cu putovati

mnogo millja biciklom.

There's more, you know.

He knows everything.

Richard!

Ahem.

Sutra cu putovati

mnogo millja biciklom.

Yes, Richard!

You're represented, man.

This became our world,

and these people,

our family.

back home was

just one more place

we didn't think about.

I settled in.

I found my vocation:

the pursuit of pleasure.

Sal was the leader,

but it wasn't a big deal.

I mean, there wasn't

any ideology or sh*t like that.

It was just a beach resort

for people who don't like

beach resorts.

...and some of us build.

Even paradise

takes a little shaping.

For years, they kept this place a secret.

They didn't need to tell anyone.

They were practically self-sufficient.

The only thing they had to do

was sail back once in a while

to trade a little marijuana

and buy some rice.

Whoa!

We grow our own,

which means no stealing

from the farmers on the other side.

And do they know that

you're living here?

Oh, yeah, but they

keep to their side,

and we don't trespass

on their turf.

A couple of years ago,

they came to us,

and they said that we could stay.

That was all right, but

nobody else should come.

which kind of suits us as well.

So, you was lucky,

you know? Very lucky.

There was Keaty,

who only cared about 2 things...

Thank you, Lord,

for the twin pillars of civilization:

Christianity and cricket.

There were the Swedes--

Christo, Sten, and Karl.

We like fishing.

Fishing. Yeah.

And in the winter,

we like skiing.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Of course, in Thailand,

there is no skiing.

We wait, okay?

We wait until the fish come.

Get it?

Sh*t. No way!

Whoo!

And I said unto thee,

"I shall provide!"

Yeah!

- Stop it.

- What?

our resident chef

was known as Unhygenix...

Let's cook.

on account of

his obsession with soap.

Fish, fish, fish.

Still I smell fish.

There was a range of sporting

and leisure activities

to suit all tastes.

Etienne is good at soccer.

I could do that if l wanted to.

I just don't want to.

What are you talking about?

Making conversation.

do you have a girlfriend?

Here?

Anywhere.

No. Why?

Just making conversation.

Right arm over wicket,

Is there anyone who

still does not understand?

The only person I didn't like

was Sal's boyfriend Bugs,

our on-island carpenter.

Hey, Richard.

Can you do this?

Can you make anything?

A man should have

a talent in his hands.

Here we go, people!

Whoo!

So every community has its rituals.

Well, ours was simple.

The last one to arrive

tattoos the next.

It f***ing hurts, okay?

What did he say?

Andy, bring yours closer.

Come on, Richard.

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Oh, Jesus!

That f***ing hurt!

All in all, this really was paradise.

Except for one thing:

desire is desire wherever you go.

The sun will not bleach it,

nor the tide wash it away.

Francoise.

One--she's

just teasing you.

Richard:
What are you

talking about?

In fact, even better than that--

sorry, sorry--

soccer than you.

and 6--you're a bit strange, rich.

Some girls

like that in a man,

but not usually the sort of girls

you want to be with.

Is that right?

Come on. Your last

girlfriend chucked you.

There must've been a reason.

Well, it was not my fault.

And 7--look at, look

at your thumbs, man.

They're well-defined.

What is that supposed to mean?

You play a lot of video games.

That is a powerful index

of incompatibility.

Well, why do I get the feeling

Iike you're trying to tell

me something here, Keaty?

You haven't a hope, mate,

not a bleeding chicken's

chance in Thailand.

Know what I mean?

thank you.

So, enjoy the beach

and cut the bullshit.

Thank you very much.

It's my pleasure.

No. no.

You, no.

You cannot--no. No! No.

Please leave me.

Leave me!

Hey, that's my bed.

No!

I can deal with it.

I don't want you

to deal with it!

It won't take a minute, Gregorio.

No! Really, no.

No. I must

go to mainland!

I'm sick.

I've got to. Sal!

What's this?

You want to go to the mainland

to see a dentist?

Yes.

It's out of the question.

Come on. It'll be fun.

I'll be the nurse.

It won't hurt. Be brave.

How's it going, Richard?

Fine. Fine.

You okay with this?

Yeah.

I mean, we have

a secret here, right?

Sometimes people need

to take a little pain

to keep it that way.

Excellent. Excellent attitude.

No problem.

You'll be okay.

Oh, sh*t!

Good work!

Kill the pain, boy.

Okay.

Take the drink.

Take a drink.

Bugs.

Bugs. thank you, Bugs.

Thank you.

Richard?

Yeah.

Would you like to come

to the beach with me?

Come on, Etienne.

Just throw one, man.

Okay.

Sure. Yeah.

Are you happy, Richard?

Happy?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess.

I mean, the beach, you know,

is just perfect.

do you think that I ignore you?

No.

But I do.

It's because I'm with Etienne.

It's difficult for me

to spend time with you.

I don't suppose that

there's any, you know,

special reason that you should...

spend time with me, that is.

Of course there is.

I like you a lot.

Have you--Have you told

this to Etienne or...

No.

It's our secret.

Okay.

Look! There.

The plankton. Shrimps.

When they're disturbed, they glow.

Come on.

That night, we promised ourselves,

and we honestly believed,

that no one would ever know.

I want to talk.

About what?

About you and Francoise.

What do you mean,

me and Francoise?

I mean, Richard...

that I want her to be happy.

Yeah. I mean, of course.

We all do, right?

Shut up!

Please shut the f*** up.

And if happy is with you,

then I will not stand in her way.

Etienne, man, I re--

I really don't know

what you're talking about.

F*** you, Richard!

I know! Okay? I know.

Everybody knows!

The problem is seeing the fish.

With the heavy rain
