Verawati, the fragile badminton player

So which one is Indonesian?

Dearly beloved, we gather here today in God's love. Let's celebrate in joy.

Hallelujah!

In the World Council of Churches dossier,

it is strongly stated that we must show hospitality to fellow human beings.

As written in Hebrews 13:2,

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,

for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."

Our neighbors are our brothers.

After the agape love we received from Christ,

we interpret the love as...

Linda, the girl who eats firecrackers

Back with Cesa

in Cesa Show, the truly sensational show!

Set your glow in motion, get the Cesa Show sensation!

Just like last week, we're in for more sensations, in the homes we visit.

Last week there was the girl who sleeps with a thousand scorpions.

This time, we meet the girl who eats firecrackers.

We see a lot of trophies here. Not for firecracker-eating,

but for badminton.

No connection there! Let's go to the dining table.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Miss.

A simple question:

When did you start eating firecrackers?

When?

Eat?

Perhaps you can just show us?

The folks at home are eager to see

how a pretty girl like you would eat a firecracker.

Just like eating a hot dog, or a slice of bread.

The firecracker is sandwiched... just like a sausage.

She is eating the firecracker

Children, don't try this at home! This is strictly for professionals!

Cahyono, who wants to be Japanese

When did you start eating firecrackers?

When?

Eat?

Perhaps you can just show us?

Halim and Salma

♪ I just called to say I love you ♪

♪ I just called to say how much I care ♪

Jesus refused to be aggravated into a long and pointless theological debate.

Jesus tried to open a discussion, especially to answer the question:

"Who are your brothers and sisters?"

To him, what matters is not who,

but how we can be a good brother or sister

to anyone, anywhere.

Whether they are Jewish or Samaritan,

Christian or non-Christian,

native or foreign,

brown or yellow,

he is the person waiting for salvation in the journey between

Jerusalem and Jericho,

Pondok Indah and Pondok Cabe,

Sabang and Merauke.

Jesus defines other human beings as a part of our everyday reality.

My wife, I want to convert to Islam.

Semarang, Central Java:

Security officials arrested sex workers hiding under fruit stalls.

Hiding under fruit stalls.

Linda and her daddy

Linda...

sing with me!

Linda and her engkong

You open at 5? Or 12 noon?

At 12 midnight, to 5 in the afternoon.

So you open at midnight and close at five.

Engkong,

from now on, I have to call you Opa. Is that okay? -It's fine.

My name is Gian Tik.

Wie Gian Tik.

At school, people called me Bernardus.

Then I changed my name to Suwisno Wijanarto.

Su is Javanese.

Wis is short for Suwis, which comes from the Kuning Kingdom.

So then they called me Suwisno Wijanarto.

Linda and Cahyono

Why do you look down when you're walking?

It's nothing.

But why?

I don't know.

- What do you mean you don't know? - I just don't know.

- Why don't you find out? - Do you know?

No.

Well, then you go find out.

What's the bottle for?

To make a vase.

Don't put flowers in it. There are no flowers here. There are a lot of pebbles, though.

Pebbles are good.

Where did you find that chair? It's so nice.

From there.

It would look nice in a living room.

That would also make a great vase.

- Is that enough? - Yes.

Hey look! Chinese brats.

Let's take another route home.

It's ok, don't look down.

Why are you looking down?

Are you human beings or pigs?

Hey, stop! We said stop.

Take them in there. Just grab them. Don't be a slug.

Get the bag. Hey, give me the bag!

Kick their asses! Pigs! Chinese!

I don't know... is it really necessary?

We talked about this. Cahyono has to be separated from that Chinese brat.

Shhh... not so loud!

I understand, but I don't think we have to transfer him to another school.

How can he not transfer? I've always told you, public schools are the best choice.

But you said public schools have too many Muslims.

For me that's not a problem, as long as there are no Chinese.

Romi and Yahya

Why are you always like that?

I want to know what it feels like.

I don't buy your excuse.

This is not about pride,

not about who's dominating who.

I want to feel you inside me.

If you say you don't want to do it

because you think it would hurt my pride,

that's nonsense.

Have you had your teeth checked?

So, are we going to the red light district?

Take Gian Tik with us.

How about it, Tik? Are you coming?

No.

Are there Chinese girls there?

They didn't have them back then. I don't know about now.

Of course there aren't. There are no Chinese in the army, either.

I want to tell you something, Linda.

When you start seeing boys, you have to remember this.

There's a saying...

in Dutch:

Schiet de pijl...

uit de boog, maar niet in mijn cog.

Mijn oog is voor iedereen...

maar mijn hart is voor jou alleen.

It means:

Shoot the arrow from its bow,

but don't hit my eyes. Because my eyes are for everyone,

but my heart is only for you.

Do you understand that?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Anything but Chinese.

I think this place is still haunted.

It's alright.

Doctor,

I want to be on Planet Idol.

Do you think Mr. Yahya can help me with that?

When I win the contest,

perhaps,

I can...

carry your baby,

just...

like you want.

I suppose I can help.

But...

you have to help me, too, Doctor.

The riots in Jakarta...

What happened May 13 to May 15, 1998

was shocking to everyone.

A mob ran their operation very brutally and professionally.

Thousands of people, including children and women,

were trapped and burned inside several shopping areas.

In Jogja Plaza, Klender, East Jakarta,

more than four hundred were killed by being padlocked inside shops

and burned alive.

My grandpa said that

firecrackers can scare evil spirits away.

We believe that the Samaritan is kind, because he has shown compassion to others,

especially those who are suffering.

Compassion in the form of good will alone is not enough,

nor in the form of discourse.

It has to be put into action, heedless of race, religion,

nationality, and other boundaries.

We tend to be conscious of these boundaries.

We're only drawn to those who are equal, or who are like us.

The white go for the white, the black go for the black.

The most important lesson we learn from the Samaritan

is that he could break these walls.

Honey... I want to have a new wife.

Opa, when you die,

do you want to be cremated,

thrown to the sea,

or buried?

It doesn't matter.

Don't waste your thoughts on it.

You still walk with your head down.

Look up for a change.

Have you found out yet why you look down?

Yes.

So, why?

Because I would look like an idiot if I walked like this.

Blind pig who wants to fly

This place looks haunted.

It's all right. We've got this.

Come over here.
