Syndromes and a Century Page #3

When the farmers got there... By golly!

It was full of gold and silver

They rushed to stuff their bags full

Suddenly, a solar eclipse occurred...

...and the sky went dark

They kept gathering gold in the dark.

They got so rich

But one farmer was greedy...

...and he came back for more

- They say thieves robbed his house

- Then what?

They shot him dead

That's the result of being greedy

How cruel

This is a powerful place

No matter what people do,

no matter what we do...

...something always watches us

Like you coming here...

...it knows all about you.

I know as well

Know about what?

Come on

Just let him know your true feelings...

...or you might miss out

But he does smell nice

What?

But sometimes, I just want to be alone

No way. Then it won't be exciting

Otherwise why did you

give him the orchid?

I'll open it for you

Have you looked

in his bedroom yet?

Do I have to?

Of course! You judge a man

from his bedroom and his desk

I'd have to wait for him

to fall asleep first...

...before I could look inside

This way. You have to slide it open

Sorry. My room is a bit of a mess

It's not that messy

I wasn't expecting company today.

It's not often I get visitors

It's always a mess

- Please sit down

- Thank you

Have an orange

You think it looks OK hanging there?

Will this one glow in the dark as well?

After you

Are you tired?

A little bit

Better?

Where's Pa Jane going?

She can't stay out under the hot sun

Come on, Mom Mam!

What are you thinking about?

Come here, Mom Mam!

If you secretly liked someone,

what would you do?

I'd hide behind a pillar

and peek out at them

But then how would they know

that you like them?

I don't know

But that person isn't you,

I just need your advice

I can't decide what to do

Why? What's wrong?

I don't know what to say

Is it a man or a woman?

- I'm just joking

- That's a strange question

It was a joke. Don't take it to heart

I'm not accusing you of anything!

- That was mean

- I'm only kidding

Is the orange peeled?

It's all crushed

- It's completely squashed

- Have another

So, go on.

You secretly like her...?

But I don't dare to confess my love

Could I do anything to help?

smile, your smile makes me happy

smile just once more

Just a glance, I'm standing here

Waiting for your smile

Just a simple smile from you

Teeth, so clean and white

lickering in the shadows,

shining in my heart

To you no one compares

Please brighten me with your smile

smile and it will be mine

Please brighten me with your smile

Can you feel me smiling back?

Love is the answer

Love and concern

The tenderness of your smile

Inspires me as always

My guitarist

smile, your smile makes me happy

smile just once more

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

A round of applause for Ant

Let's bring him upfront

He wrote the music on all my albums

Give him a big hand

I wanted to watch you sing,

but I couldn't go, it's not proper

Why not? The fair was at the temple

There are too many people

When I saw you walking up,

I almost didn't recognise you

My green jacket must blend in!

The nurses didn't remember me either

Really?

You've never worn this outfit here?

No, I'm afraid I'll run into patients

Brother, do you feel that...

...maybe we knew each other

in a past life?

I don't think so

You remind me of my dead brother

When I was 8 years old...

...I was naughty, as boys are

Climbing trees to pick mangoes

and such

One day, my brother was

too scared to climb the trees...

...but I forced him...

...and he fell and died

I feel wrong to this very day

Are you my brother reincarnated?

It can't be

I wasn't human in my past life

I just want the chance to apologise

To your brother?

- Yes

- I'm not your brother

Because in my last life I was...

It was my brother's

- A horse?

- Yes

I'd like you to have it

I can't accept it

It's not mine.

Save it for your real brother...

...when you see him

My brother is already dead

Well, then...

will you accept this instead?

What is it?

My new album

For me?

It doesn't look like you

It hasn't gone on sale yet

'I Could Only Look'

This is your real name?

Yes

Normally, I sing about teeth and gums...

...but this album is all love songs

But I don't own a CD player

I'll present one as an offering

That's OK. I'll borrow the abbot's,

he has one

Tohng!

Dr Ple, follow me

Where are you going?

You also majored in Pharmacy?

Only for two years

Then I studied medicine for four more

Did you find the army base boring?

Not exactly, but I felt

I'd be more useful here

Why did you decide to study medicine?

A pharmacist is stuck

in the pharmacy all day

- Did you follow your friends?

- No

- Did you consult your parents?

- No

- So you wanted to switch majors?

- Yes

How would you describe yourself?

I'd say I'm a cheerful person

Why do you think you're cheerful?

My friends seem to have fun

when they're around me

How many friends do you have?

I'm friends with everyone in my class

And you still meet regularly?

Yes

Do you play any sports?

- I can play basketball

- Can you draw?

What position do you play?

Centre

Why did you choose to play centre?

A centre doesn't need to be tall

Do you prefer triangles,

squares or circles?

Circles

What colour would you like it to be?

A clear colour

What colour is your clear colour?

Clear like a glass

What would you like it to be made from?

From glass

What if there isn't any glass?

Plastic, I guess

Can you sit up straight, please?

- Are you right or left-handed?

- Right-handed

Can I see your right hand?

Stretch your arm out

Clench your fist. Clench it tight

Tighter. Just a bit

Thank you

- Do you have any pets?

- I used have to have a cat

And now?

It's dead

What does DDT stand for?

Pardon?

What does DDT stand for?

Is it...

...'Destroy Dirty Things'?

Take this note to Dr Natreprakai

on the 8th Floor

Don't peek at it, Doctor

- Is there anything else?

- I'll be off, then

Sorry to keep you waiting

Do you want some tea?

Doctor...

...I brought you a little present

It's too much. You shouldn't have

Please take it

Thank you

I'm a stubborn person. Wherever I go,

I have to take my bolster pillow

I need to hug it or I can't sleep

I wrap my legs around it

and rest my head on it

- You're very attached to it

- You could say so

That night...

...I dreamt a chicken flock

came to tell me...

...that they wanted me to suffer

But I forgive them. I've offered prayers

for them for many years

But they won't forgive me.

I guess they want revenge

I was scared

and ran away from them...

...but they came flying after me

I kept on running

Suddenly I felt like I'd grown wings

and become a chicken

But it was only a dream

When I woke up in a fright...

...I found myself on the floor...

...my arms and legs

pinned beneath me

My whole body was aching

Is it from eating chicken?

Or do you think it's bad karma?

Do you eat a lot of chicken?

Come to think of it, quite a bit
