Let's go home.

Wait here I'm going to the

restroom. Please hold these for me.

Bubbles anyone? Bubbles.

I'm sorry

Please donate your loose change

to help the rural children.

- Thank you.

- Goodwill Society volunteer

Thank you.

Goodwill fund raising looks

like an easy way to raise money.

You've never done it

so don't talk that way.

Hey I'm genuinely impressed.

So damn smart to wait in front

of the restroom for change.

Very good location.

Location.

Sir,

I would like to move my kiosk here.

This area is all taken.

Then I will close the shop.

It's useless to sell

here. I will lose money.

If you close before your contract

is up, we won't refund your deposit.

You can't be serious, right?

Yes. Didn't you read the fine print?

Hold on.

Hey is any booth on "Azone" moving out?

Okay, thank you.

The end of this month,

one booth is clearing out.

If you're interested

then you must sign a contract today.

I think you should

ask your parents first.

If you were me, would you take it?

This is a prime location. Trust me.

The rental fee is 24,000 Baht.

You'll earn that in no time.

Damn not even one customer!

It's still too early to tell.

Whose mobile is ringing?

Please come out to turn it off.

Professor, may I pick up the phone?

No you're not allowed to.

If you do, I will have

to report you cheated.

Turn off your mobile phone now.

This is a required subject.

Hello,

what's it, uncle?

Please give me the hot ones.

Yes, please wait a bit.

All good things take time.

Wait a bit please.

Please wait a moment.

This won't take long.

Okay.

Let's open more branches.

Slow down Top. This

is only our first day.

Only 1 day and the sales

are through the roof.

If we can sell 2 sacks,

we'll have 4,000 Baht a day,

And if we got 10 branches,

we would make over 1.2 million a month!

Let's do it. Okay?

I think we better not. We can handle it?

We're doing it.

Why even ask me then?

Please move this kiosk next to that one.

Please move it a little

more. Okay. That's good.

Please sign here.

- See you at Changwattana branch.

- Okay.

Set the temperature at 120 degree.

Use 2 kg Each time.

Don't put too many pebbles

because it won't mix well together.

- Understand?

- Yes.

Okay then we can start now.

Keep these chestnuts in place.

Are we still seeing each other?

Who told you?

Why did I have to hear

this from other people?

Have I ever hidden anything from you?

If you knew that I'm selling chestnuts,

what would you say?

Are you ashamed?

What kind of a person you think I am?

I'm worried about you.

Stop this

and come back to school.

Damn you Jack. Why did

you tell Lin about me?

I didn't tell her.

You disappeared.

Lin called, she thought

you may be cheating.

So I said, I don't know,

then she called your mom.

And are you coming

back to school or what?

Your booth is causing damage.

The smoke is turning the ceiling yellow.

You must do something about it.

Smoke is a byproduct

of making chestnuts.

It is in violation of

your rental contract.

If you can't fix this then we'll

have to cancel your contract.

What?

Cancel?

I am sorry.

Hey you can't do that!

Do you have a way to fix this?

Yes I do.

Hey you

cannot paint the ceiling now.

It is disturbing our customers.

You must do it after hours.

Mom please hold it steady. It's shaking.

I am. I thought I did already.

It's almost midnight.

If you weren't here, I

would have finished already.

Are you tired? May I do it for you?

Mom, you're not helping.

Mister, time's up. You must leave now.

Please I need a bit more

time. I'm almost done.

But in your request

form, it said midnight.

Please I beg you.

Just a little more time.

Sorry Mister. It's

time so you must leave.

My supervisor will be here

soon and I'll be in trouble.

Here

You are his mother, right?

Yes, I am.

Please discipline your son.

Take all your stuff and

exit that way please.

Stop now Top. That's enough.

No mom. I'll finish

tomorrow, I still got time.

No more time, Top. Tomorrow

you must go do your passport.

By the end of this month

we must move to China

to stay with your brother and sister.

Are we skipping town?

How come no one tells me anything?

You don't need to know.

It's not your concern.

How much debt are we in, mom?

Mom, tell me how much?

Don't worry.

Our chestnut business is going well.

I'll finish the painting in

time. And it will be alright.

Just go with us.

At least we can be together.

Excuse me, please look at the camera.

Okay ready...

hey!

Mom,

I am not going.

I will stay here and study.

Go back to take your photo now.

You wanted to pay me to study, right?

I'm ready to be your employee now, dad.

Fine

you can stay if you want.

I will go wait inside.

Forget about the chestnuts

and go back to school.

Top.

I'm sorry about...

I need you to move your booth out.

Every branch?

All of them. Our boss can't allow this.

I am truly sorry.

See the paint is dripping

on my shoe shelves

You ruined my spiritual altar.

My glasses have stains too. Will

you take responsibility for this?

- Look! - All stained,

how can we sell them like this?

I really like the backdrop

Yeah it looks so amazing.

I want to see it badly.

What wrong with you?

Why didn't you pick up my calls?

Top!

What's wrong?

Top?

Is it about the chestnuts? Let it be.

Top

take the entrance exam again.

A high school diploma isn't enough.

Please Top?

I will help you.

Okay.

Promise me?

Let's go to Chinatown.

It's been a while. I

miss the crab noodles.

Bad traffic and no parking though.

No problem. I can wait.

I just got back from Rayong province.

I brought back some fried seaweed.

It must be that good you

even brought it here to eat.

You're crazy. Just drive

and I'll feed you some.

Don't tell me you fried the seaweed

yourself. Then I will go to lunch.

See my scars.

At first I bought it

from Rayong province.

But just my luck

it all went stale within a week.

I can't believe your luck.

It gets worse.

When I asked if they could do something

about it, they said they didn't know how.

I pleaded with them for 3 days to try.

They didn't care and

we ended up arguing.

Don't tell me you got

your butt kicked again?

Hell no! I did all the

butt kicking this time.

- Yeah they deserve it.

- Right?

- Right on!

- Yeah.

In the end I had to fry it myself.

So how did you solve the problem?

They couldn't.

Kasetsart University can.

Head of Food Processing

& Manufacturing Department

You aren't a student here, are you?

How did you get them to help?

Prof. please ignore

what you see before you

and let me introduce myself

My name is Ittipat Kulpongwanich.

So I told the prof the

same thing I told you.

Some tissues, prof.

Your fried seaweeds consume oils

just like these crispy rice crackers.

Oxidation reacts to oxygen

and that causes it to go stale.

The solution is vacuum packaging.

See,

a vacuum removes oxygen out off the bag.

Your seaweed is crispy, right?
