Of course I did.

How did you pay tuition?

You took your dad's money, right?

No, I didn't take his money. Really.

You got amulet to sell?

Amulet for sale?

Do you have amulet for me to appraise?

Sir,

I would like to pawn my amulet.

Let me see.

How much do you want for this?

I'll take...

Please sir. Help me

out it's for tuition.

Fine 100,000 it is.

I'm all for helping an education.

- The money is really for school right?

- Of course.

OK.

That was the first time

I ever got into debt...

If you think you will be

rich, then you will be rich.

If you think you will

succeed, you will be succeed.

Sahaphat company uses this

"Urban forest strategy" plan

and Sahaphat has succeeded until today.

Jack, I can't stand

this anymore. Let's go.

No, I can't. I'm really need to study.

Study my ass. Reading a soccer

magazine is how you study?

I'm listening.

Top,

you know our tuition fees

aren't getting any cheaper.

Here, just hit record for me then.

I won't attend this class anymore.

I went to class

but always thinking about how

to get my dad's amulet back.

Your turn.

Anyone here who can't follow

the rules will be punished.

Therefore

all of you will do

some public service work

by cleaning up the trash

in front of this building

for the next 3 days

starting today.

Right now.

Please proceed.

Hey what are you doing here?

What do you mean by that?

No I meant.

Don't you have class today?

I have class but no Lin.

So I rather ditch class with Lin.

You can't have me either way

because I have class.

Hey let's go eat those

crab noodles, I am starving.

I can't. I got rehearsal tonight.

We hardly get to meet and

you're too busy for me?

I am not too busy, but

you are just too free.

Oh! Hi, can you speak English?

A little bit?

So, how can I help you here?

What is it? / Oh! This

is the Salapao Machine.

And all the Salapao will come out here.

You can have a try.

Is it really edible?

Yes, it is.

Whoa!

Yummy.

Is that OK?

- Yeah. Delicious.

- Delicious, right?

Please try our chestnuts. It's free.

It's complimentary.

- Can I have two?

- Yes please, take a few.

It's free.

Hello.

These chestnut baking

machines are on promotion.

This way please.

This controls the temperature

to stay 150-180 degrees.

This way the chestnuts will not explode.

And this mixing paddle

will churn the chestnuts

so that they are heated evenly.

We're the first company

to import it from Japan.

So if I buy it, I will

be the first right?

Yes the first.

How much?

It's very expensive.

I didn't ask, is it

expensive I asked how much?

What is it?

I'm going to sell chestnuts.

This machine automates

the baking process

so I won't have to break my back.

How much did you pay for this?

They're selling it for 500,000 Baht.

But I rented it for 50,000 Baht a month.

I can buy one for 30,000

at the weekend market!

That's okay, dad. What's done is done.

Last night I dreamed that

I saw Guan Yin (The Goddess of Mercy).

She carried something black in her hand,

must be a good sign.

Everything on the whiteboard

will be on the exam.

If you have any questions

or do not understand anything

please ask me now.

Any questions?

Sir why do you soak the chestnuts?

So I can tell which

ones are spoiled or not.

Really?

How so?

The ones floating are bad.

The ones that sink are good.

Then what do you do, sir?

I churn.

And then?

Pay money.

When trying to gather

economic data to analyze

you should gather the

info from various sources.

What do u want, boy?

Wow your chestnuts smell great.

What type of coffee do you use?

Taste it yourself.

Pebbles

I will quiz you at the end

of class, for 10 points.

The questions require a lot of details.

In my opinion,

you must understand this thoroughly

before you can graduate

from this faculty.

Sweet chestnuts!

Get them here!

How much?

- Give me 1.

- One moment please.

Ouch!

Sh*t will I ever get this right?

Uncle, please tell me what you think?

I think it tastes good.

Everything is ready.

Everyone already signed. Here read it.

Oh my son made it.

He wants to sell chestnuts.

Your son works very hard.

He's a trouble maker. He wants to be

a "Tao Kae Noi" (young entrepreneur).

Shop's name:

I didn't fall asleep.

Thank you. 4 sticks?

Please fall in line.

Did you try calling out like she did?

Yes I did. I yelled too.

But I can't beat her voice.

So loud and sweet sounding.

This is not American idol.

To sell we just need to

be repetitious and loud.

Of course not. It's a

play for the drama club.

How much are the tickets?

Why are you asking all

these questions for?

Doesn't seem worth your time.

It's not about worth

Hello.

And did you call out

the way I told you to?

I did. I shouted out and all.

I need your help here.

So what do you want me to do?

- I don't know what else to do.

- Hey uncle, I'll call you back.

Next time if you need

to talk on the phone

don't bother coming.

Don't be like that. It was important.

I was talking to uncle Teung. See?

Call back the number then.

I can't. It was from a public phone.

That's a convenient excuse.

Don't let me find out.

Seriously.

How can I make you believe me?
