Before 6 p.m., I want everything ready and on stand by
for a run-through.
The lights,
cameras,
and music.
After we rehearse, we can see the whole production.
Excuse me?
Yes?
How tall are you?
I'm about this tall.
I'm looking for a stand-in for the ambassador.
He is around the same height.
You are free, right?
What?
AMBASSADOR
I'll leave the walkie-talkie here, okay?
Okay.
AMBASSADOR'S WIFE
I'm Beam.
Pang.
Having to play husband and wife like this
is sort of funny.
Don't you think so?
Yes.
Let's take a selfie to kill time.
This picture of you looks okay.
This looks all right too.
Do you want them? I'll send them via LINE.
Does this trick to get a girl's LINE ID work?
Normally, they give me theirs.
I'm just sending you the pictures.
I'm not going to do anything bad.
I'd rather not, okay?
And what's your reason?
I just don't want to.
Come on.
I'm just sending the pictures.
Think of it as my New Year's present.
Okay?
Just to send the pictures, right?
Thanks.
I got it.
DECEMBER 2014
Standby right here.
The ambassador over here.
His wife over there.
When we give you the signal,
the ambassador and his wife will walk on the red carpet
and make their way to the portrait inside.
For us to play this role of husband and wife well,
we must hold hands.
The band is on stand by. Are the cameras ready?
But I won't.
You will think I'm not a gentleman.
The ambassador and his wife start walking together holding hands.
Good.
Keep it in the frame.
When they get to this mark, let them get out of the frame.
Okay.
A bit wider.
Okay, looks good.
Both of you stand between the ministers.
Then take a picture together.
Good.
Cut!
Cameras and music are okay.
Stand-ins take a ten-minute break.
Excuse me, can I go to the restroom?
Who can stand it?
And I've got to be with him all day.
-Is he hot? -I'll point him out.
I'm mad. You know what I mean? He is so annoying.
These shrimp dumplings are killer.
No shrimp. Just flour.
I like this, just like how I like you.
I'm going to be straightforward so we don't waste time.
Okay. I like straightforward.
This is Ploysang.
My girlfriend.
I don't buy it.
If you're going to diss me, be more convincing.
See you later, babe.
It's better to move to the front and shake hands.
That's good.
That's good. Shorten the backing track.
Stand-ins, back to your marks.
Okay, that's good.
Let's rehearse again.
Your girlfriend is cute.
I'll be back,
wifey.
We'll start over from when Mr. Chairman gives the speech.
And then the band will begin right before the handshake.
-Go. Get away. -Also, please get…
Ploysang, how long have you been with Pang?
Well, it's been a while now.
And
how did you meet?
We study in the same faculty.
Too bad.
Too bad
you can't hit on Pang?
Too bad I can't hit on…
Forget it.
My precious.
Ploysang.
You can just call me Ploy.
Okay. Ploy.
Hey, that is too much.
Turn it down.
Shift them to the side.
Thanks.
Your girlfriend is a real chatterbox.
IT'S ALL RIGHT THAT WAS FUNNY
KEEP TRYING
PANG LIKES TO PLAY HARD TO GET DON'T GIVE UP
Now that you know, no need to pretend anymore.
A smart-mouthed girl like you,
your zodiac sign must be Cancer, right?
I'm good at reading people's fortunes.
Face and palm reading, all of it.
I'm an expert.
An expert at tricking girls into touching their hands?
You're so paranoid.
Let me see. I'll read your fortune for real.
For free.
You're the type of person…
who has really soft hands.
I'm joking. I'll read for real now.
Come on.
You're an only child.
Your head line
shows that you're involved with art.
You're studying Language Arts.
Look.
This line is very clear.
You need to be careful about your health.
You need to tone down the stuff you eat
at night.
If you are still posting photos of pork, durian, and sticky rice at midnight…
I've set my Facebook to private, and you still managed to find it.
How did you do it?
Pang,
the possibilities are endless, right?
It isn't hard.
It's you
who posted everything on social media.
Be careful.
The internet is dangerous.
People like you are dangerous.
Okay. Very good.
Let's move on then.
Stand-ins, take a break.
Thank you.
Cameras, please move and standby at the food bar.
That's right.
I'm not kindhearted.
I don't have a cat and like to visit sunflower farms
like somebody's boyfriend.
It makes me want to go.
If I went with my girl,
I'd take a picture with a caption,
"I hope our love blossoms like sunflowers."
Are you guys fighting?
But you just posted a picture of the two of you.
You two broke up?
If you don't know, just be quiet!
-Move to the next spot. -Let's go.
Please frame this booth exactly like the last frame.
Hey. I'm sorry. I didn't know your wound was still fresh.
Here. I'll let you hit me.
Please check the decoration lights.
Make sure it's all working, okay?
I'll delete this girl's number
to make it up to you.
That's messed up!
You don't care about how that girl would feel?
We haven't spoken for a while.
She probably wasn't that serious.
Not serious?
You're accusing her of that? She might be serious about it.
She might have only talked to you, not to anyone else!
Okay. Let's move to the next spot.
I want a narrow shot here.
In case the ambassador and his wife want to taste the food.
Thank you.
NORTHERN THAI SPICY PORK TOMATO PASTE
Here you go.
This is the yummy Nam Prik Ong.
It will numb your pain.
Did I say something wrong?
The guy you're teasing me about is named Ong.
Well…
Don't touch me.
Don't cry.
Hold it in.
Like that. Hold it in.
I told you not to touch me.
It's all right.
I just stepped on her toes.
Please continue.
Mr. Mingmongkon Tantichanchaikun,
Scholarship for MS in Educational Psychology.
Okay. Keep your distance.
Let the person in front finish first.
Then the next person can walk up.
Then the next person should be ten footsteps behind.
Do you want to talk about it?
Hey. Could you mark the standing spots for them?
Tape it down. Right at the stage.
Excuse me,
can I have a pen?
Thank you.
Camera one. Don't pan out.
We'll use a still shot. Right.
Keep this frame, okay?
ONG
I'm Ong now.
Whatever you want to say, let it out.
Mr. Peerapol Kanchanakanth,
Come on. Don't hold back.
Scholarship for MS in Computer Science.
How about
you imagine everything he put you through.
And if he was here, what would you say to his face?
Get it all out.
Jerk.
What?
Jerk!
You're talking about Ong, right?
Ms. Natnaree Lerkskriangkrai,
Scholarship for MS in Food Science and Technology.
He asked me if he could see another girl.
He asked you that?
Yes.
He's really manly.
He is honest.
Men are dogs.
That is meant for Ong, right?
Mr. Sirapop Pranee.
How did you catch him?
You checked his phone?
A LINE message popped up in my face.
I knew it.
So what did you do next?
The two of them went out to eat.
So I showed up and ate with them.
-For real? -Yes.
The jerk even had the nerve to talk sweet.
"Pang, I love you the most. You always come first.
But I can't leave her. She's a good person."
Yes, she is a good person. But you're a jerk!
Mr. Tatchapol Thitiapichai.
Go ahead.
Scholarship for MS in Petroleum Engineering.
And that girl, is she okay with this?
Anyone okay with that set up is crazy.
How could anyone be okay?
This bitch is!
Ms. Wanitsara Amphon.
-Well… -Scholarship for MS
in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Go ahead.
She's okay with it. Isn't that crazy?
I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or pity them.
I walked away and left.
They can do whatever they want.
And are they still together?
I don't know.
I blocked him on everything.
A block junkie. Are you a serial blocker?
You want me to bitch at you now?
Mr. Phakorn Sirichaiwong.
Has anybody seen Mr. Phakorn Sirichaiwong?
Scholarship for MS in Physics.
That's me.
Hey, why didn't you get someone else to block?
-Why did you become a scholar? -I'm sorry.
When I was a kid and played with my friends,
I turned cardboard boxes into spaceships.
My friends would be pilots
and since I remembered all the cool constellations,
I got to be the captain.
When I grew up,
I learned that Russia
has an advanced Space Technology Development Organization.
So I made it my goal
to one day…
have a Russian wife.
Gosh!
I feel sorry for the scholarship sponsor.
Here's a glass of water.
Thank you.
Not cold, please. Thank you.
When hitting on girls, are you always so cocky?
It depends on the girl's behavior.
If she is a pain in the butt,
I will be an ass in return.
But if she is prim and proper,
I'll be proper too.
You're real good at being sarcastic.
You're quite witty too.
How many girlfriends have you had?
How about…
try saying any name.
A girl's name. Any name.
-Any name? -Yes. Say one.
Joy.
Check.
Cherie.
Check.
Mickey.
No Mickey.
Just Minnie.
That's crazy, have you dated every girl in the country?
We should choose the very best for our life.
The person you love too,
if we don't date, how would we know who's the best?
But that isn't called getting to know someone.
It is called messing around.
You've broken lots of hearts for sure.
If you mean
I'm the one who called it off first,
then yes.
You don't feel guilty?
There is this one girl.
Look.
Cute.
I broke up with her on New Year's Day.
She was so badly hurt that she took fitness classes.
In the end, she turned out like this.
Hold on.
Is that the same person?
Yes.
Gosh.
I'll never take a girl to see fireworks on New Year's again.
It still haunts me.
See what happens when you mess around.
It's normal, isn't it?
People in relationships break up.
In the end, someone will get hurt.
But if you date 100 people,
you hurt 100 people, right?
So when you like someone, think carefully.
Think about it a lot of times.
Don't just flirt around. Understand?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm thinking carefully.
Does your family sell candy? You're such a sweet talker. Gosh!
Is that Ong?
I'm not ready to see him.
You need my help?
How will you help?
Hey. He's coming.
What?
-So? -I don't know.
-Make up or break up? -Hold on.
-I don't know. -Make your choice.
Pang.
Hey, hi.
I have to get back to work.
Pang.
Can I talk to Pang, just the two of us?
No need.
He is my friend. Just say what you want to say.
Pang.
I know now that I love you more.
Sorry.
I realized that
when I am with her,
it can't even compare to when I am with you.
Think about all the good times
when we were together.
It was really good, right?
When you hooked up, you didn't think of that!
When you wanted to switch, you switched. Gosh!
Will you turn in the work on time?
I cleared things up with her already.
I told her I chose you.
I am sure.
I want to believe you.
-But I… -Check his LINE first.
Make sure he clears things up for real.
I mean when you read it, are you clear?
-Hey. -Ong.
Ong.
Can I see your phone?
The trick is to delete your chat, if you are not careful, it won't work.
I did it once.
The messages would skip.
I got a blow-dryer thrown at my face.
Ong.
Or by deleting the whole chat,
you won't get away with it.
Pang.
Whatever just happened, can we forget it already?
I don't trust you anymore.
Just go.
When your heart's made up, you can do it.
You're not a pushover.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
It's all right. I'm okay.
It has to end this way.
All right. Time to rehearse.
We haven't rehearsed yet. Are you ready?
Look, the scholars are waiting already.
Go get whoever isn't here.
Let's do a run-through.
We will start off in the standing position.
Ready?
Look lively.
'Tis sundown
Sunlight creases cloudy lips
Shining deep into my eyes
Golden treasure in the sky
'Tis sundown
Sunlight waves its faint goodbye
Just like my love from far away
Far apart my heart woes
There was a time when we held close
Day and night our hearts were one
Now loneliness untamed grows
Into the sky and blocks the sun
'Tis sundown
When sunlight leaves for its far off home
Where our love continues on
Our hearts enjoined still freely roam
Get ready.
March.
Stop.
Everyone, you have to remember your positions.
In front of you is your body percussion partner.
Remember each other.
Pang.
You're coupled with the ambassador for the real show.
His excellency practiced already.
What are you doing over here?
Well.
I came to support my wife.
Excuse me,
I can be the ambassador.
Go ahead.
Just practice with her for now.
All the scholars stand up.
Let's rehearse the body percussion first.
Sir.
I still can't get it right.
Can we do it one more time?
Okay, Mr. Ambassador.
Are you trying to win brownie points?
You can think that way.
AMBASSADOR
NORTHERN THAI SPICY PORK TOMATO PASTE
I'm Precious.
Ploysang.
Can I have some water?
Here.
RUSSIAN PUBLIC SCIENCE FOUNDATION
The ambassador's wife didn't pull her hand away like you.
How do people stay married for 20 to 30 years?
Aren't they bored seeing each other every day?
It depends on who you are with.
Someone like you won't make it.
You never know unless you try.
You're going away soon and still thinking of trying?
Yes.
You want to try?
You might be the one who can change me.
I told you to think carefully.
Wouldn't thinking about your studies be better?
I thought about it already.
And you are a part of it too.
And how can I believe you?
You know what I just went through.
I don't even know if I'm ready to start over.
I really appreciate what you did today.
But holding off would be better, right?
Thanks for being straightforward.
I should say thanks to that lady
who invited us to be the stand-ins.
I should also thank the Ambassador
for being the same height as me.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Ms. Wanitsara Amphon,
Scholarship for MS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Mr. Phakorn Sirichaiwong,
Scholarship for MS in Physics.
These are the scholars for the Russian Public Science
Foundation scholarship studying in Russia
for two years.
Congratulations to everyone who received these scholarships.
I'd like to say farewell tonight with a special show.
This song is used to send off all our scholars to Russia.
Please enjoy it.
'Tis sundown
Sunlight creases cloudy lips
Shining deep into my eyes
Golden treasure in the sky
'Tis sundown
Sunlight waves its faint goodbye
Just like my love from far away
Far apart my heart woes
There was a time when we held close
Day and night our hearts were one
Now loneliness untamed grows
Into the sky and blocks the sun
'Tis sundown
When sunlight leaves for its far off home
Where our love continues on
Our hearts enjoined still freely roam
Oh, twilight
Time again that I'm reminded
There's only darkness when the sun sets
Like our love
When we must bid farewell
See you.
-Excuse me, -Yes?
did the photographer with the mustache leave yet?
He just left.
Thank you.
Hey.
The photographer, right?
You wanted the pictures?
Yes. Did you get it?
I didn't make it.
Pang.
Why do you like taking pictures when I'm not ready?
I'm not pretty at all.
See?
Delete. Just delete it.
It's cute.
Go ahead.
I'll send it to you.
I forgot.
I can't send it.
Here. You can send it now.
And after I'm done sending it, will you block me again?
It depends on how you behave.
And what kind of behavior will get me blocked again?
Like sending stickers to annoy you?
It depends on how annoying it is.
Like sending you a TGIF picture?
Asking too much will get you blocked.
What if I send you…
Yes, Mom.
Where are you? What are you doing?
Cleaning up. I'm almost done.
What is it?
This New Year's are you coming home?
Of course, I'll be home.
Okay.
Come home. I'll make macaroni with shrimp.
Okay.
How is Dad?
Don't worry. He's fine.
He is waiting for you to come home.
All right, Mom. I've got to finish cleaning up now.
I'll see you on New Year's.
Yes, okay. Bye.
I can't get you off my mind
However I try
The flame kindled in my heart
Keeps burning high
-Looking good? -Yes, honey.
DECEMBER 2015
Mom.
What should we do?
Do you want to hire a caregiver?
I'll search online.
And leave Dad alone with that person?
At least one of us should stay with him. How about you, Pond?
I…
I have to ask Jane first.
What about you, Pond?
I work odd hours.
No need to hire anybody.
I will take care of Dad myself.
I planned to quit my job anyway.
Then for the expenses,
Pond and I will help cover it.
Let's go, Dad.
Let's go home.
-Okay. -Okay.
Mom isn't back.
Go get her. Where is she?
Hey, go get your Mom.
So we can go.
What's your name?
Pom.
Mr. Pom, where do you live?
Well.
Ladprao.
I live with my wife.
The patient has Alzheimer's.
The person who takes care of him must always be by his side.
His symptoms will only get worse.
Some people forget their daily routine.
Some people forget the present.
They only remember the past.
Dad.
Why don't you take a shower?
Well…
I'm waiting for your mom.
Dad.
You aren't sick. You've been taking your meds every hour.
I haven't taken any!
-Stop it, Dad! -Let go!
I'm taking it.
Ever since my mom died,
he has been asking for her every day.
Dad!
Lift up your legs!
Dad! The Fan!
Lift up your legs!
Dad!
Do I have to babysit you all the time?
Leaving the water on is dangerous, do you know that?
If you need anything, just tell me.
I didn't leave it on.
You did.
I told you I didn't.
You did.
There are only two of us here.
If you didn't turn it on, then who did?
I told you I didn't turn it on.
Mom was cooking.
Dad.
Stop talking about Mom, will you?
She is gone.
She went away.
She isn't coming back anymore.
I want to go home.
I want to go home and find Mom.
Dad, you are home now.
So where is Mom?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing?
You can't drive.
Why can't you understand?
It's you who doesn't understand.
I'm going home to find Mom.
Dad, listen to me.
Mom is dead.
Do you understand?
Mom died a long time ago already.
Mom…
Mom died already?
She died a long time ago?
Because of me?
And…
who takes care of me?
Who cooks for me?
I did everything for you.
You don't remember?
You stay here with me.
It's me
who takes care of you.
It's me
who's stuck with you.
AEY, PIANO TUNER
Hi. My name is Aey.
I'm a piano tuner.
-Come in. -Thanks.
Do
Re
Mi
Ms. Fa.
Right?
Bingo.
Hello, Mr. Poom.
It's Mr. Pom!
I brought you two congees with a pig.
Congee with pork!
Be careful, it's hot.
I bought two.
One for Fa.
What are you reading?
Go. Don't bother.
I'll go tune the piano then.
I'm sorry about your mom.
Mrs. Fah was a very nice person.
Thanks.
This song
is your mom's favorite.
You know a lot about my family.
A little bit.
When I came to tune the piano,
I couldn't play very well.
Your mom taught me how to play this song.
Oh, she also told me that
her daughter doesn't play very well either.
That's enough.
I know you know a lot.
Just a little bit.
Mom is back, right?
I heard her playing the piano.
No, Dad.
No?
I heard Mom playing.
-Enough already, Dad. -Hold on.
-I need to ask her something… -Dad.
I want to ask her where did she put my medicine?
Mrs. Fah is out teaching piano.
She has many houses to go to and will be back late.
But she said she's going to buy
rice flour balls for you.
Do you want anything? I'll call her.
Hey!
How could you say that?
Well.
Tell her to hurry back, that's all.
I'll tell her to hurry back.
Yes, right away.
You shouldn't say that to him.
Your dad won't understand anyway.
I'm just telling him what he wants to hear.
But you're not the one who's going to answer his questions every day.
You don't understand.
Okay.
Please leave.
Grab your stuff and go. Don't fix it anymore.
I'll just finish up first.
No need.
Okay.
Let's go.
This way, Dad.
Dad.
Please wait right here.
Don't go anywhere.
Count from one to 10,000.
Slowly.
I will come out in a bit.
One, two…
Three.
Four.
We are accepting applications for delivery drivers.
Yes.
But you are overqualified for this job.
That's all right.
I'll take any job
as long as my dad can ride along too.
We miss your mom.
Everyone here still talks about her.
Then please fill out the application form first.
I will try my best to help you.
Thank you very much.
Sorry.
Yes?
Sorry, have you seen a 60-year-old tall man with glasses?
No.
Dad!
Fa.
Why did you take Dad with you to apply for a job?
I told you that when it comes to expenses,
Pond and I will take care of it.
I know you're bored.
But if people knew,
they would say bad things about me.
This song is your mom's favorite.
I want to tell you something.
When I first met your mom
during the freshman orientation at the university,
your mom played this song up on stage.
All the guys were crazy about her.
For real?
Yes.
And how did you get Mom to like you?
Well.
I just kept flirting with her.
But who would have thought
that I could get her to like me too?
And then?
After graduating,
she went to work in another province.
We barely got to see each other.
But there was this one time
she called from Khon Kaen province
and she played this song for me.
Sweet, right?
Definitely out of the ordinary, both of you.
Then at our wedding,
this was the song we opened the floor with.
Get Mom to play it for you.
MRS. DUANGJAI INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ANALYST AGENCY
This is Dad.
I just found out that I have Alzheimer's.
Soon I might not remember anything anymore.
So why did you ask me to come back?
Well…
when I played this song,
my dad remembered things.
So…
I want to learn to play this song.
It might make him get better.
I see.
Do you mean you're going to play
even though you know he won't get better?
Thanks a lot.
That was blunt.
And…
I want to play it
as a present on their wedding anniversary.
How about this?
I'll help you.
Help me, how?
You want to play the piano, right?
You have to practice, right?
I want to help.
You play well?
Not really. But I know you don't.
Why do you want to help?
I know what you've been through.
I saw your mom cry.
I'm sorry that I lied to your dad last time.
But sometimes telling the truth might not be as good as
letting him be happy in his own way.
So is it like…
seeing a friend's boyfriend cheating
and not saying anything?
What was that?
I'm in shock.
All done.
Just go ahead and practice.
I'll go look after your dad.
Hello, Mr. Poom.
Mr. Pom.
What are you doing?
I'm reading the newspaper.
-It's nothing. -You want a massage?
All right. Okay.
I could use some.
POO, PAW, POM, FAH
FA, POND
This is Mrs. Fah's side.
And this is your side.
-Are you sure you remember? -Yes.
Who is this?
Pond.
Is it?
Yes.
Pond.
This one you remember, right? Your daughter.
-Oh, how could I forget? -Who is this?
My daughter, Fa.
-Keep going. -Okay.
Your mom and I were dancing.
When you were young, you were good looking.
Not bad, right?
Here. This is Fa.
Fa like your daughter.
Right.
Or you can use it to call her.
Here.
It works.
-This is Fa as a baby. What do you think? -Dad!
Come on.
Don't be embarrassed.
Why are you embarrassed?
Was I cute?
Her mom is giving her piano lessons.
See?
Was that me?
My name is Aey.
If I were a note, I would be La.
-Here La? -Correct.
Like, "wa-lah."
-You mean "voila." -Yes?
Then just remember it's like
La Endorphine the Thai singer.
You mean Da Endorphine.
Is it wrong again?
Then the easiest is
like a cute llama.
No. The cute one would be Fa!
Dad, where are you going?
I'm going to propose to Fah.
Dad!
Well…
you can drive, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Mr. Pom.
Just Pom.
Okay, Pom.
-Pom. -What?
Please.
Drive slowly.
Come on.
-Piece of cake. -Right.
Well.
Where is Mr. Yong?
I'm here to pick up my suit.
The suit I ordered, is it done?
Well…
-Dude. -Yes?
Just go with the flow.
Whatever happens, I'll handle it.
I can't really act.
No problem.
My dad went to play golf.
Golf?
Yes.
-And sir… -Just Pom.
Pom.
And what kind of suit are you looking for, Pom?
A wedding suit.
For your kid's wedding?
My wedding.
His own wedding.
I see.
And where are we going next?
The wedding ring shop.
I need it before rehearsal at 5 p.m.
The ring shop is supposed to be here.
This is the building.
Over there is the alley.
The alley. The building.
Yes. The ring shop.
The ring.
Without the ring, what am I going to do?
Pom.
It's all right.
The ring shop just moved over there.
Over there. Just last week.
But don't worry.
I went and got the ring already.
-Really? -Really.
But you have to close your eyes first.
-Really? -Yes.
Open your eyes now.
Is this the ring?
Yes.
This is it.
Having you around
is a good thing.
You just realized that?
Then
don't play the piano well yet.
So I can come more often.
Why?
If I can play well,
you won't come anymore?
Where are we going next?
Where?
And where am I?
Dad, what's wrong?
Who are you?
How did I get here?
Mr. Pom.
Dad!
Mr. Pom.
Let me go.
Dad.
It's me, Fa.
I'm your daughter. Mom's daughter.
There are five of us, Dad.
You, Mom,
me,
Pong, and Pond, remember?
You have to remember me.
You promised you wouldn't forget me.
You promised me.
You can't forget me.
I don't have anybody left.
You have to be with me, Dad.
You have to be with me.
I can't help my dad at all.
So why should I keep practicing?
In the end, it will all be for nothing.
Why would it be for nothing?
The thing you are doing,
I think it is very meaningful.
It all depends on whether
you are doing it for yourself
or for
your dad.
If you do it for your dad,
when you play the song,
he will be happy.
That's all that matters, right?
And I've noticed every time
that he is really happy.
Pong, move it to the right a bit.
Okay. Right there.
-Okay. -Yes.
Here. Dad, you sit here.
Your mom isn't with us anymore, right?
If she were here,
she would be dancing with me right now.
She would never miss out on this song.
Thank you very much
for doing everything for me.
Dad, can you say that again?
I want to record it.
It's all right.
It's fine.
This is Dad.
I just found out that I have Alzheimer's.
Soon I might not remember anything anymore.
But I want to tell everyone that
I am so proud
to have all of you as my kids.
And I am very happy
that we have a good
and warm family.
And if one day
I don't remember,
it doesn't mean
these things
didn't happen.
It doesn't mean that
I don't love all my kids.
All of you
are always in my heart.
I feel bad for Mrs. Fah.
DECEMBER 2017
Miss.
Can you tie this up?
Everyone.
This is Mr. Llong.
The new financial analysis officer.
I'm sorry for being late.
I'm Llong.
I am Llong.
Excuse me, are you lost?
This used to be Mrs. Fah's desk.
Mrs. Fah was one of our senior staff.
But she passed away.
You don't believe in ghosts, right?
Phi Fa's ghost.
Come on!
To the right.
Three, two, one. Go!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Hi, girls.
Wheel pose.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Let's go.
Your relatives are here.
How do you know we are related?
Come with me. The guard said,
"Holy shit!"
FINANCIAL ANALYST AGENCY
Take your shitty instruments back!
You're a sissy for throwing away your dreams.
When did you become such a loser, huh?
How many seas do you want me to sail on
when there's no grains of sand to sleep on?
What's that?
Rocker talk.
Meaning?
It means
if you're a decade-old musician who plays songs nobody knows,
it's time to stop playing
and find a new job.
You're a slave of the loner crowd!
What does that mean?
Shut up vanilla face!
Here. Take your studio key back.
You've lost your identity.
You don't even have love to look forward to!
A human who has no dreams
is no different than a zombie!
Stop it!
If you don't, I'll report you for physical abuse.
It hurts.
Mom, don't!
Are you a musician?
What song do you sing?
You won't know it.
Fight for your dreams.
What?
-Fight for your dreams. -What?
Fight for your dreams.
No, I've never heard of it.
Dive into your dreams
Let's have a round of applause for
the show by our new staff.
Mr. Llong
from Thau-ma-to-rope band.
Hey! Come here.
-Come and try. -It's over.
I got you all.
Damn it.
Attention, please.
It looks like Mr. Llong will be joining us.
Ms. Kim.
What is this?
Sorry, we took your instruments to play.
We miss Mrs. Fah.
Mrs. Fah?
What is this all about?
Mrs. Fah
was born into a musical family.
So she could play every instrument.
What are you filming?
So when she came to work here,
she invited us to learn the piano and violin.
But nobody played because we thought we had no talent.
In the end, I started to play the trumpet with her.
From not knowing how to play Pineapple Apple Pen,
to being able to play the whole song.
Just now, you were playing a song?
When they saw I could play,
everyone was inspired to follow my lead.
And it was Kim who had the idea to form a band.
Mrs. Fah found instruments for us to play.
We were very happy in that small meeting room.
That was until the office asked for the room back
to set up ping-pong tables.
So we had to fade away.
Around the same time
Mrs. Fah's husband became ill.
So she resigned to look after him.
Not long after that,
she died before her husband.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ANALYST AGENCY
Mr. Llong.
Getting to play music in that room
means more than anything money can buy.
Since then, Mrs. Fah's desk has been vacant
until a real musician came to sit there.
Everyone.
It's you, Llong from the Thaumatrope band.
This is Mr. Llong.
We think Mrs. Fah sent you to us.
But you stopped playing music already.
We almost lost hope.
So we did something stupid,
and stole your instruments to play.
We probably took things too seriously,
we became so obsessed.
It's supposed to be just a hobby, right?
Well…
Actually,
I threw away the instruments
because my band broke my heart.
That was really dumb.
You all have made me understand
music is for everybody.
It's not only for musicians.
My heart can't compare to any of yours.
If you don't mind,
please let me into the Mrs. Fah band.
Gosh! You had us wound up.
Why did you keep us hanging?
So what song are you guys playing?
Okay. Wait a second.
Miss, you can play the drums while waiting.
Ms. Onn.
Don't be mad. I forgot to wear my contact lenses.
This is a bad sign.
Bassist, why did you stop on the 7th bar?
I forgot.
Gosh.
Stop!
Gosh.
Are we ever going to sing?
You are all off.
It's all overlapping.
Someone was playing the 6th note too high.
Who?
It's all me.
I have a cold sore in my mouth. Do you want to see?
-Okay. -Okay.
-Hooray! -Hooray!
This time, we will get it.
Attention, please.
Ms. Supanika is here.
-We know! -We know!
Who gave you permission to play music at work?
The noise is echoing everywhere.
You know people are working, right?
And look at this.
It's like a slum.
I'm getting a headache from all this.
If you want to play, why don't you go play at home?
But this is after hours already.
I know that!
Are you Llong from the Thaumatrope band?
Are you a fan of my band?
Dive into your dreams
I hate this song.
I used to hear your voice every day.
My son played your tape in the car
from 9th grade through university, until he went abroad.
I thought my suffering was over,
but now Llong from Thaumatrope is here in my office!
How did you pass the interview?
He scored 100 percent on the written exam.
I also know that!
Suppose…
we had a music room in the office
then we wouldn't have to be in the storeroom
and have airconditioning.
It would be so…
And suppose we don't have to suppose.
Why don't we ask for a budget for a music room?
Musical instruments cost 750,000 baht.
Speakers and mixers are 350,000 baht.
Wall, ceiling, and floor insulation cost 400,000 baht.
So expensive.
No need to ask, I know we won't get it.
Just this room alone,
the table is 4,250 baht.
Paddles are 750 baht each.
Look. They are having a lot of fun.
It's like they're training for the national team.
I know where we can save 750,000 baht.
I can get more instruments.
But I'll need your help.
Come on.
Big, come.
Hey.
Kim.
How did I get to this point?
Oh, no.
Lightning round. Sudden death season.
She didn't lock it.
When did you get in there?
Hurry.
I thought you needed help to pick up stuff.
This is theft.
Hey. Here she comes.
Hurry up!
So the leftover expense is 750,000 baht.
Divided by our 11 members,
it comes out to 68,181.81 baht.
-Is that expensive? -It's freaking expensive.
I know a way
to get it approved for sure.
We need to increase our numbers.
Don't keep your instruments for one musician to enjoy.
You said you played in a marching band?
Hello. Financial Analyst Agency.
You played in a marching band?
Yes, I played the clarinet.
When did you start playing?
When I was in 6th grade.
-I played in 6th grade. Yes. -So 6th grade, right?
-Go to the sixth floor. -Do you still play now?
I do.
I'm forming a band.
Do you want to join?
Yes.
-Is that a yes? -Yes.
-Is that a yes?
-Yes, right? -I am sorry.
Sorry for what?
Kim.
Where is the guard who plays percussion?
His dad passed away.
He went for the cremation. He'll be back in a month or so.
How much do you want to donate?
-Hey. -Hi.
Are you still looking for a percussionist?
Yes, we are.
Have you played in a band?
I perform on stage all the time.
Can you sing the chorus?
Are you also applying for the band?
What instrument can you play?
So what do you want to play?
I want to sing.
I can sing anything.
Chillax…
Some water?
-Thank you. No, it's all right. -You better drink some.
Kim.
Who else plays percussion for real?
Mr. Book in accounting. He can play.
But he's a monk now.
Can he leave the Order?
Text and chat with him now.
Come forth into the band.
You said you'd never leave
You said we'd be together
You said we'd love each other
You said we'd have each other forever
You said you'd never leave
You said we'd always have each other
You said you wouldn't share your heart
You said you'd have only
Us
Come sing with us.
I can sing too.
You said you'd never leave
Wow.
Excuse me.
I was in a marching band
and was a champion in Belgium.
Having a professional musician on the team
will make our band more classy.
But…
I would only like to play with this musician.
I have to go.
Play what?
Kim.
This is Mr. Sert the bassist from the Sales Department.
What? Just spit it out.
Just say it in front of him.
No.
We have a bassist already.
Hey, we can have double bassists.
You never heard of that?
It's like wrestling. A tag team.
You see what I'm saying?
When Ms. Chadaporn gets on stage, Mr. Sert plays too.
Okay.
Let's set a date.
-She's leaving. -Hey, quiet.
Beam, why did you just arrive?
-You're late. I'm really hungry. -Sorry.
Don't say you're sorry.
What?
That is Beam, my darling.
My Prince Charming.
He's back.
Who's that?
Her son.
Hello.
Hello, Pang. You're here too?
-We came together. -And who is that girl?
-His girlfriend! -His girlfriend!
His arm is around her shoulder in front of his mom.
It's the season finale.
I'll wait for the next season.
All clear!
Is everyone ready?
I'm a Khon Kaen girl
I've never had a boyfriend
My house is in Isarn
I'm a youngster
I only sleep on my side
So at night, I can have sweet dreams
Is there a man who wants a girl like me?
If your dream is
To have me I'm waiting for you
I'm an Isarn farm girl
In the morning I plant rice In the evening I'm lonely
They say I'm from the province The girl from Isarn
With a heart on cloud nine
Please let this man be nice to me
Please be a little kindhearted
Love me as often as you can
So I can be filled with joy
All of my heart is for you
Gosh. I thought he played a wind instrument.
Don't look down on me
It's just my skin that's dark
I'm an Isarn girl who daydreams in wait
My yearning heart floats off As you slip away
I'm a farm girl so you won't speak to me
You never offer to put a ring on me
I wait so long I feel shame for myself
I wait and wait, shame on me
You don't fancy me? Why did you never come for me?
Supanika is here.
May God help you.
Attention, please.
The Mother of Dragons is coming!
She's coming for sure.
She's coming up!
Scatter!
Quick!
Attention, please. Our next rehearsal will be announced later.
It's always me.
They never turn off the lights.
This is what it means when a band breaks up, literally.
Please welcome the next lovely vocalist
from the financial analyst department dealing in Rupees,
Ms. Aruni Bagga!
She will be singing Mumbai Girl Longing for Love.
She has eight vocal cords.
She only uses two cords.
ISARN GIRL LONGING FOR LOVE
I wait and wait, shame on me
You don't fancy me? Why did you never come for me?
Is everyone having fun?
Attention.
Right now
our proposal to build a music room
has made it to the company's board.
-Yes! -Yes!
Finally,
we'll have a music room in our office.
I want to say thanks
to Llong of Thaumatrope.
And today
Kim is giving smiles away for free.
You want it, you got it.
-Seeing is believing. Kim. -Yes?
-Kim. -Yes?
Don't forget to practice the New Year's song, okay?
You forgot we have to clean up?
You'll be sweeping until you throw up.
Kim.
Aren't you going to say anything?
Right, you're playing.
Hey, Kim.
Look.
It's a huge pyramid of cow poop.
Are we that close now, we can talk about poop?
-Llong. -What?
Do we have to play the "New Year Greeting" song in the cafeteria?
Well, asking for budget approval
must come with performance, right?
This office is lucky to have you.
This office isn't lucky.
Did you know most people
don't get to do what they like?
They die first then someone knocks on their casket
telling them to go and be happy.
At Mrs. Fah's funeral,
we decided to do what makes us happy
without having someone knock on our casket.
Stop yelling, "More!"
No more already.
We only rehearsed one song.
TO LLONG
I saw your IG. You formed a band at work.
I'm happy for you.
When you have flowers,
you'll have butterflies around.
PS. The instruments you stole,
if you don't return them after New Year's day,
I'll report you to the police!
Ms. Nongpa-nga
secretly texted me from the board meeting.
The board said…
there's no budget.
If we want to make another proposal,
we'll have to wait until next year.
I knew
it would turn out like this.
I've never heard of an office with a music room.
I think…
we should
do something.
Actually,
we are financial analysts.
We should have known that
a music room wasn't worth the effort.
I don't understand.
Why not?
This is normal.
It makes sense.
It's understandable.
Hey.
Are you giving up?
Is this the Kim I know?
Even with your Tro-ma-trope band or whatever,
you gave up.
You quit too.
Did you know?
This is the first time
I played music and I was happy.
It was like
being a kid again in a music room with my friends.
I don't want to be disappointed anymore.
Kim,
if you quit the trumpet now,
you will make Mr. Kanoon quit the trombone too.
You've been practicing all this time.
You can't give up now.
Can I be honest?
When you said, "Thanks to Llong of Thaumatrope,"
I was mad.
Because I am Llong of the Mrs. Fah band.
Don't give up!
I'll fight with you.
I hate that hook.
Kim, when is our next rehearsal?
I haven't even played our latest song yet.
Mr. Alongkorn.
This is serious.
You have only five minutes.
Because Mr. Pae must finish up the meeting before noon.
He needs to arrive at the airport by 1 p.m.
Normally before 1 p.m. it's Pokémon time, right?
What?
This way?
Who are you?
You don't need to know who I am.
Our names aren't important.
But being that it's time for season's greetings.
So we, on behalf of the staff here,
want to dedicate a song as a gift to everyone here.
This New Year
May all of us be merry
It's an auspicious time to be rosy
Everyone is festive and jolly
I ask for blessings from heaven
For all to be happy and lucky
Please bless us with your generosity
Let all Thais enjoy prosperity
Let all of you be joyful Every day and night
May your wishes come true
And prosper on this New Year
All Thais be blessed with cheer
All through the year be hearty
Forever starts forthwith
Let there be no sadness, just bliss
Greetings for the New Year
This is fun.
I heard that
the music room was put on hold.
I don't know
what number would be worth it.
How much is the happiness of your staff worth to you?
You guys are really good.
The way I see it now,
if the board doesn't approve your music project,
it would totally bankrupt the happiness of all the staff.
Look at that.
Let all of you be joyful Every day and night
May your wishes come true
And prosper on this New Year
All Thais be blessed with cheer
This is epic!
All through the year be hearty
Forever starts forthwith
Let there be no sadness, just bliss
Greetings for the New Year
I hope you are happy with your new music room.
I am waiting to listen to your new song.
Sure.
When you have flowers, you will have butterflies around.
You are lucky
to have a boss like Ms. Supanika.
She brought your unorthodox proposal to the board.
Ms. Supanika, thank--
Actually, I'm not fond of you.
But I see that having this music room
will make my life more peaceful.
If you don't mind,
sign this for my son, please?
Sure.
This "New Year Greeting" song
is like a blessing from heaven.
It's a music room for people who want to be blessed.
Whatever happens,
Happy New Year.
