The Love of Siam

What's the matter with you, Mew? Are you alright?

Don't be stubborn.

C'mon, get up.

Grandma is waiting for you.

Let's go.

C'mon. Give it to aunty.

My friend.

Do you want to move to Rayong with papa?

No. Why would I? They wouldn't want me to stay with them.

It's not like that.

They see you as a big boy,

they let you stay here to take care of your grandma.

And why don't you move there together?

I'm not going. I'm too old now.

I don't want to move anywhere anymore.

You are selfish.

I can't make it.

- Can you do it? - No. Show it to me!

Here. Take a look.

- See? You see? - Aww.

Do you have to blow it hard?

Ok, we do it together. One. Two...

Ooops.

Eww...

Oh. I can't make a balloon.

Why are you so bad at it?

You got him there. Come here.

- Here. Here. - No.

No...

Grandma...

Grandma.

Ohh. Roasted chicken. Roasted chicken!

Always my favorite.

Umm. Who will lead the prayers?

Oh c'mon. Again?

Ok. Let the one who came late do it.

Ohh...

What are you chewing, Tong?

Chewing gum again, aren't you?

Spit it out! Now!

Here. Get it out.

How may times have I told you not to chew it?

What if it stuck in your throat?

Tang, you never teach your brother.

Ok. He got it out. It's ok. Let it go.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Dear Lord.

Please bless us and the food we have.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Grandma.

Grandma.

You are angry at me, aren't you?

Grandma.

What are you playing, huh?

You are breaking grandpa's piano.

Let me sit.

I'll show you how to play it.

Why do you like this song so much?

Your grandpa always plays it for me.

He must be good at it.

Of course.

Do you want to be as good as him?

I don't know why I have to be good at this.

Maybe one day.

You can use it to show your feelings to other people,

the way your grandpa told me.

So what did he tell you?

Listen.

He was saying that he missed you

when he came home and nobody was here.

He would be lonely.

Would you accompany me for a while?

Where should we go?

I don't know.

Eh. Eh. Stop. Isn't that Mew?

- The good pianist - The sissy boy

Hey. Mew...

Hey. Hey.

Hey, get out.

Bastard! We'll get you.

Here. Here.

Stop playing.

Can you handle it?

Yes, indeed.

They're here. You're in trouble.

We're back.

You're just gonna sitting there and not helping us?

- Here. I'll help. - Tong. Get up and help.

- You're not moving at all. - Oh. You bought a lot of things here!

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have some work in Chiangmai.

This weekend we will all go there.

Chiangmai?

- Yeah. - Mom, we are going to Chiangmai!

- Here. We got you a shirt. - Here. Tong.

Why are you wearing sun glasses?

Ahh. I want to be handsome like you, dad.

You wanna be handsome? Here. Your shirt.

- It's so cute. - It fits you perfectly.

Aww. Purple. I don't like purple.

Yellow!

Here. Purple!

Yellow!

Take the glasses off and take a look.

Ah. Ah. Take this.

Umm.

What happened to your eye?

- Football hit my face. - Softball.

So what is it?

- Football hit my face. - Softball.

Are you sure it's football?

Of course. It's football. Really.

Yes. It's football.

Do you want to match the other side?

Tang, are you ready?

Yes.

Oh. What are you taking so much?

Umm. Umm. Mom.

Can I stay longer with my friends? Just a couple more days.

I already asked dad.

He told me to ask you.

Please mom. Please. Please.

It's ok. She's a big girl now. Letting her go with friends is ok.

Hey. What's up? I'm back.

- Was it good? - Err. It's kinda fun.

I got you something. That's for your gandma.

For Mew.

If you want it, you have to... take this first.

What's this?

Little sweet palm in the garden?

What is it?

I don't know. You have to look for it.

Behind you. That way. That way.

Behind?

Why do you have to make it so difficult?

- Aww. - You don't like it?

I didn't say that.

It's fun.

Where did you get this game from?

Oh. From my dad.

At home, when we are giving gifts.

That's how he is.

Your family is so fun, huh?

Go. Go...

Go! Let's go.

Ohh. Too bad.

That's the last piece.

It's ok.

I'm happy enough that you bought this for me.

Are you sure?

Just ask your mom yourself, ok?

What is it? When are you arriving?

Not yet. Err. I think.

But you said you're coming back today.

Just a little longer, mom.

On the 24th, I will be back home

Please.

Ok Ok.

If you are tricky like this, I won't let you travel anymore.

Thank you.

It's ok.

She's a grown up. Let her go sometimes.

You let her do things like this They're only girls

Aren't you worried about her?

Silent Night, Holy Night.

Wondrous star, Lend the light

With the angel, let us sing

Hallelujah to our king

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the Savior is born

Hello.

Grandma. Over there.

I'm not finished yet, son.

Are you with Mew? Go home with grandma first.

Yes. Yes. It's fine.

Tong. Let's take some pictures. Come here.

Take one with Mew.

Ok. Closer, closer.

Ok. Smile.

Dear our lady Mary

gave birth as a virgin to the Messiah,

Our Lord Jesus.

Virgin Mary,

please pray for us now, and when we die.

Amen

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Tong.

When we went to Chiangmai

Tang went hiking with her friends at Kun Yuam Mountain.

She might got away from the group and she got lost.

Tang might got lost.

That jungle is so big...

She might not be able to come back again...

So what are you going to do, Tong?

He said they are still waiting for her.

Grandma, do you think Tang's going to be alright?

We shouldn't have let her go.

If only we'd stopped her.

In the name of the Father and the Son.

Tong!

We don't have to.

Sunee.

Tong.

Mew.

We are moving out.

You're not waiting for Tang anymore?

Have you heard that there is a place?

If we get there, we will have everything.

It will wait for us at the end of the way.

And we need only one ticket.

We can go and come back many times.

What will you tell me when you come back?

I'm wondering if it's true. I want to see it.

Even if I have to go by foot. If there's something when I get there.

Even if the ticket is so expensive. Whatever I have to pay, I'll get it.

I have paid all I have for someone to tell me

that this ticket is not for me.

Oh mom, wait.

This train doesn't have a seat for me. Why not?

I don't have the right to go.

- Do you have a session after school? - Of course.

When do you want me to pick you up?

Umm. Let me call you.

Jeng, take the bag for me. Take the phone too.

Ok. Ok.

Tong!

Tong! Bastard!

Ok. See you tonight.

Forget something?

Don't drink too much.

I know.

- Who are you looking for? - Mew.

Over there...

Mew. Aex. Hello.

How are you?

This morning, did you hear our song playing all over the school?

Yes.

So, what did Aod say?

He said... Hey wait...

Wait, wait. You two pay attention to me.

Umm. Your songs are really good...

But I want to tell you something.

In terms of the content,

it should be more universal,

so that more people can listen to this. A little more than now.

But quite a few people like it already, Aod.

Yes, but only a small number. Let me ask you this:

Don't you want a lot of people to listen to your songs?

The melody, I can say it's very good. You are really good at it,

and I have the same idea as what you have.

To bring in new kinds of sounds to the music industry.

That's right, and that's very good.

But why don't we make it easier?

If the contents of the song appeal to more people,

and their feelings relate to the songs,

it's definitely better!

Like what?

Love, Mew.

95% of the top charts, of all the charts,

All love songs.

And it should be easy for people your age.

It's so easy for people your age to write love songs.

Really?

Yes. Believe me.

Let's try.

Aod...

Ah. June, come in.

Yes.

Here's June.

Hello.

From now on, about everything from practicing to work schedule,

you can talk to June directly. She will give you a call.

Back to our issue.

About love songs. I want them quick, ok?

So we can use it as your new single.

When should it be, Mew?

Umm...

Why don't you take my calls lately?

Sometimes I was in class, sometimes I was playing soccer.

Playing soccer?

Tong, lately you are so cold to Donut.

Really?

What are you thinking, Tong?

Tong, do you still want to go out with me?

I... don't know.

Why, Tong?

Tong, you don't love Donut anymore?

June is so cute.

Right!

Where are you going?

I think June looks like someone I know.

- Who's that? - Mew.

I don't know.

- Mew? - Yes.

- Hey, hey. Listen. - Can I call June for you tomorrow?

- You're so you! - Our CD is sold out!

- What? - What.

Our new CD. Sold out!

Are you happy?

Yeah...

It's doing well already, �... *****

Why would we have to change the contents?

Let's discuss that later. Let's go practice.

Excuse me, do you have an album from August's band?

Ahh. We're just sold out.

The people who made it just came here a moment ago.

There they are, let's ask them.

They just walked away. You can go and ask them.

Hey, is that Tong?

- Is it Mew? - Yes.

Hey. How have you been? Haven't seen you in a long time.

Just so so. Not much.

- Ok. - What about you, Tong?

Same.

And you are in this band?

Yes, I sing for them too.

August Band.

Hello.

- Tong, how do you know? - Ahh.

The guy at the store told me...

I'm here to buy your CD and it's sold out.

Oh yes! But I can make one for you.

Hey, it's ok, Mew. I can buy it from a store.

Ohh. But if you want to buy it, you'll have to wait for a long time

because we're not making this version anymore.

What should we do?

So, give me your number.

I will burn a CD at home and give it to you tomorrow.

Ok. Ok.

The number is 0-8-3.

- 9-0-1. - Mew.

8-3-2-0.

I'll call you.

How was class?

It was good, mom.

What subject was it?

Chemistry.

And you understood it?

Of course. Why?

Your text books are still on the back seat...

Today's class was on video and we got handouts.

Are you sure you went to class?

Sure.

What's the matter? You look unhappy.

My mom nags me all the time.

Whatever I do, she nags nags nags.

So what did you do, Ying?

Ying didn't do anything.

Mew! What are you doing?

Writing a song.

Really? What is it about?

It's about... love.

Love?

That shouldn't be hard.

Umm. I don't know. I...

I... I've never been in love...

Mew, you don't have a girlfriend?

Really, Mew? Really?

Mew, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?

Mew, really?

Oh, that's enough. I don't want to talk about this

So, if you want to know what it's like to have a lover,

I can to be your girlfriend. Is that good?

You're crazy.

- Why? - No!

Ying...

Ying, where are you?

- I gotta go, Mew. - Ok.

Think about it, ok? Everybody needs someone...

I'll try.

Tong, wait.

Go get a plate for Tang.

Tang is not here.

She will not come back.

Who's that?

It's me, Mew.

Oh, Mew. What's up?

Umm. About the CD.

I'll give it to you at Siam Square tomorrow.

Ok. Ok. What time?

Evening.

Hello?

- Tong. - Hey Mew.

I'll call you back tomorrow.

Ok. Talk to you then.

Not taken a shower yet?

Just about to go...

Hey!

What's the matter?

Got crap in your throat?

Tong. I heard you fought with Donut yesterday?

Where did you get that?

I chatted with her friend on MSN last night.

What did she say?

She said you're a big bastard.

You never care about her.

Ahh. I think you got her and now you wanna leave her.

I don't understand you.

Donut is so pretty. She can choose anyone.

And she chose you.

Why don't you take care of her a bit more?

I don't know. I am what I am. She doesn't understand.

Because you are like this.

Let me be straight forward. Do you want to break up with her?

Hello. Donut?

Well. We will do it like a lucky draw.

To see what kind of first aid you have to do.

- Banjong. - Yes, teacher.

Pick one.

Get one!

Quick!

CPR...

What's that?

Ehh.

I taught you. You don't remember anything, huh?

Maybe I should I just let you fail. ... But I don't know.

Should I really?

Ahh. Or do you want zero?

- Stay still - Aa. Aa.

Whoo!

Hey... Shhh...

Don't close your eyes. You animal!

Eww. Mew.

Why did you put your tongue in my mouth?

What is this? I didn't!

You put it in.

Eww... Waa.

What's this?

Eww. Waa. Your saliva.

Umm. Aex, where is Mew?

Don't know!

Hey Aex, I heard you kissed Mew on his mouth.

Bastard, I asked you nicely.

The number you're calling

is not available

The number you're calling

is not available.

Still keeping this?

Huh.

- Mew. - Huh.

Can you play that song for me?

Which one?

The one you played when we were kids.

Umm.

This one?

Someone moved into that place?

Huh.

Have you even seen her back here?

Who?

No. Nothing...

You haven't forgotten about it.

Tong, if you have a chance to see Tang again,

what will you say to her?

I don't know...

I may ask 'why'?

Why?

Why she left us like this?

It's not her fault, Tong.

Oh, you got a friend here?

Oh, I thought I was gonna borrow your dictionary.

Let me come back later.

Hey. It's ok.

It's ok, Mew. It's time for me to go, anyway.

Let me walk you downstairs.

It's ok. Find a dictionary for her first.

I'm going.

Your friend is cute.

Aa. Ying!

You often go to Mew's place. It's not so good.

People will talk.

- Ai Ya! - Mama.

No need to nag her. People know that Mew is a sissy boy.

Ahh. Why are you saying this?

Mew is not sissy. He is a man.

You better watch what you say. Whoo.

Very nice.

Really nice.

We will use this song to promote your next album.

Umm June, please take them to practice this evening too.

Yes.

From now on, we will practice at Saw Record.

- Reserve it. - Right away.

Very nice.

Look at this...

Why isn't Tang in this picture?

She already gone with her friends? I can't remember.

And why don't you show pictures of her?

Because she isn't here anymore.

Hey Mew...

That chord, your A Flat Augmented Seven. How do I play it?

Wan is playing keyboard. Just ask him.

A Flat C.

E. E.

G. Isn't that G Flat? Hey.

Yeah right, G Flat. G Flat.

G Flat.

Oh oh. Kinda difficult.

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

G... Flat.

I'm asking for A Flat Augmented Seven!

Isn't that funny?

Got an issue with him?

No no. Nothing.

You're in the same band. Why don't you talk?

Don't get angry at each other.

It's just a nonsense thing.

Umm. They say.

People who are anygry at each other about silly things

usually are the ones who care about each other so much.

- Right? - Right. Right. Ahh.

Are you crazy?

- Oh it's getting too far now. - Oops.

Now.

Time's up. Go.

Continue practicing. I'll get some snacks.

- Do you want anything? - Yes, yes.

- Two Gob Gob. - I want Lays.

I'll be back.

Play well.

Hello, what's up Mew?

Are you busy? Got smething to show you.

Sure. Where?

Tong! Where're you going?

- Just around here. - Hey!

Life didn't have any meaning...

Do you feel like I feel. That the days we were together.

The days we were together - Ah. Tong, come in

OK, this will be the last time. We only have a few minutes left.

It might have been a long time

That we walked in our own way that day

There might be many people. Hundreds or thousands of them

Who came into my life and made it go around

Or because they are not you

And I hadn't found what I had lost

Or because that day what I did was wrong

and made it impossible for us to go back to that day

Do you feel like I feel? That the day without you

Life didn't have any meaning

Do you feel like I feel? That the days we were together.

None of those days that we were unhappy

June, this is Tong.

Tong, this is June.

Your friend is so quiet. Are you at the same school?

I am in another school.

Oh really?

So, how did you get to know each other?

When we were kids, we were neighbors.

If you don't eat this, I'll take it.

This one too.

- You don't have anything left? - Ok, I'll give it back.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye.

Go! Get in the car. Ok, see you later.

Bye bye. Bye bye.

Bye.

See you, Tong. Good luck, Mew.

Good luck. Good luck.

Umm. So, how are you going home?

What time is it?

Tong, do you think June looks like Tang?

Looks like him so much that I got goose skin.

- Do you think it's possible that...? - It's impossible, Mew.

There are a lot of lookalikes.

So, Mew, how have you been?

Fine. Playing music is fun.

You are alone. Aren't you lonely?

Frighteningly lonely.

What is it? Frighteningly lonely?

Like when we were kids.

We were so lonely because we didn't have friends, right?

When we grew up. *******

Loneliness is much worse than that. ********

Why was it so bad for you?

I don't know what to say.

It started during the summer when I was in grade 8.

Papa took grandma somewhere for 3 or 4 days.

- And the day she came back... - My friend...

I heard that when I was away,

you were so stubborn.

It's not easy at all,

because the longer she's gone the more I missed grandma.

So I got one question.

If we love someone so much

Can we take it, that one day we will be apart? ********

And... that being apart is a part of life?

You know it well, Tong.

Is it possible, Tong?

That we love someone, and we're not afraid of losing them.

At the same time, I was wondering...

Is it possible...

that we can live without loving anyone at all?

That's my loneliness...

I have lived with it for 5 years.

Why wouldn't I know how bad it treated me. *******

What about my life from now on. *******

Mew.

Aex!

Try again.

Ok. Go ahead.

Using a computer, then why are we here?

Hey. It's ok.

Enough, enough. Aex. Enough.

Hey, stay calm. Start over, ok?

Joy, I did it, but no reaction.

If you like him, why don't you just tell him directly?

Why believe that sort of book?

If you believe in it, you'll never have a boyfriend.

- Nonsense, isn't it? - Ahh.

I got it from your house, Joy.

Oh, it's mine?

Her house doesn't have book. Are you sure?

Hello girls.

This is my friend, Tong.

- Hello. - Ahh.

- Ahh. - Sit down. Sit.

Use the microphone. Behind you.

Aex, when you played the guitar, did you tune it up?

That's ok. Start over.

- June, June. - Yes.

- Get a pack of Paracetamol for me. - Ok.

One pack is enough?

Ying, why don't you eat?

She is doing some voodoo stuff. Better leave her alone.

Voodoo? What are you doing?

Just don't listen to her. I'm on diet.

Let me tell you

She saw in the book

that if you want someone to love,

you have stick his hair into a Teddy bear

and don't eat meat for 3 days.

Who do you like, Ying?

It's her neighbor.

JOY...

None of your business.

- Let me out. - Where are you going?

Wait for me. Where are you going?

Hey. I think it's getting weird.

I think it's getting weird.

Hey. Hey.

Gosh, so who will pay now?

- I don't have enough. - Neither do I.

- I don't have either. - I don't know. I'm just gonna eat now.

What's the matter with you?

Oh.

Your mom is here.

Go.

That day I was still angry at you

So I didn't want to come. That's it.

Is this one pretty?

It's pretty.

What about this one?

Also pretty.

So which one is better?

Which one do you like?

I don't know. I like both of them. Tong, can you help me choose?

I don't know how to choose ear rings.

Can you buy one for me?

Ok.

Do you want it, Tong?

Excuse me, can you give me a discount on the wooden doll there?

Can't go lower. It's already cheap!

Can I buy just a part of it?

Are you crazy? Who would sell it that way?

What would I do with the rest of it?

Tong, why don't you buy the whole thing?

Because I bought the earrings for you, so I don't have enough money.

Is it that important to you?

I've never seen you interested in such toys.

It's not for me.

Who are you buying it for?

For my friend.

Friend.

Which friend?

Is it a girl?

A guy.

For your friend, you are so willing to buy. *****

You are underage. I can't sell it to you.

Only 3 months away.

It doesn't matter. It's the law.

What do you want?

A pack of Green LM, and a pack of Paracetamol.

What's the total?

- 56. - How much?

56?

Smoking is not good for you.

Want to see Mew at the Studio? It's fun.

Is it going to be late?

Umm. I still don't know. Might be...

I can't make it then. My mom is on her way to pick me up.

Your mom is still picking you up?

I better go.

June, please say hi to Mew for me.

Ok, I'll tell him.

Mom.

Umm.

Isn't there someone who can help him to get better?

Who? Who's helping whom?

Aww, So loud! Quiet!

99 thornless red rose...

Mom.

Wait. What did you say

about the job you are doing?

I'm taking care of music bands.

And the one before this?

Just freelances

Event organizers, and Filming Studios

Where are you from?

Chiangmai.

What about your family?

They all passed away.

So, who do you stay with?

Just by myself.

And...

What about the extra job that we are here to talk?

Umm...

It may sound a little strange...

Dad!

Where have you been...?

I'm back, Dad.

Who'll lead the prayers?

Let Tang do it.

But we haven't done it for a long time.

It's ok.

It's ok. Tang can lead it.

- Every dishes of rice... - In the name of...

Every dishes of food, we won't waste them

They are precious. Farmers are working hard.

Not an easy life. Think of the poor.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Is that a new prayer?

They are Christian.

Ah. Ah.

Their prayers are like this, dad.

Why don't you tell us what it's like over there?

After you got lost in the jungle that you told me in the car. ******

Ah. It's. *****

After I got hit by a car, right?

They're hill tribes. Two of them. They saved my life.

When I woke up they said they saved my life.

My memory is incoherent.

They took care of me. They fed me. They made food for me.

At first we couldn't communicate much.

But. Enough to live. ******

It's fine.

Can we start the meal?

Let's eat before it gets cold.

Some fish, dad?

Fish is so delicious. It's good for your brain too.

Can you handle it?

It's ok. But I can only make it periodically. ******

If he gets up...

And doesn't see me, is that going to be alright? *******

I don't know either.

I don't even know if he will remember this.

What's this?

Please take it.

Thank you very much.

- Umm. June? - Huh?

How did you come up with so many details for the jungle story?

It's from the movie "Ruk Jung".

Ruk Jung?

Rattapoom and Paula.

Ahh.

See you later.

Bye.

Mew, this is so sweet. Did you write it for someone?

Just don't give me weird chords again.

Think of the guitar player too.

Do we have this song in our audition?

What's up, Tong?

Ahh.

Where are you now?

Today?

Yes.

Ok. ***** ja.

So, I'll see you soon.

Umm.

Why don't you continue?

Umm. Tang, you're not going to school?

I don't go to school anymore, dad.

I can't leave you alone like this, dad. How could I?

You should take the medicine and drink a lot of water,

so I can go back to school again.

I'll put the plates away.

What is this?

Ahh. Dad wants to play...

the gift hunt game with you. *****

What game?

It's a game we played when we were kids.

It means there's something he wants to give you, June.

Really?

Are there any more pieces?

Yes, you wrapped your chewing gum and threw out already. ******

Is it going to be ok?

Don't worry. Tomorrow he will have forgotten about this.

Really? I better go now.

- See you later. - Bye, June.

Tong, are you available this Sunday?

We'll have a party for June.

Would that really be a good idea?

That's what I thought. But dad wants to do it.

Nobody can say no.

This means...

things are getting better at your house, right?

Who's that?

Old friend.

Let me drink just today.

Doctor, you drink too?

- Tang. How are you? - Umm.

I'm Aey, Aui's girlfriend.

- Ahh. Hello. - Don't pretend not to remember us.

You grew up so much.

- Hello. - Hello.

Make yourself at home.

After I stayed with the hill tribes, I moved to Chiangmai.

That's why. And didn't you want to come home?

I lost my memory.

So I couldn't remember the way.

Sounds like "Ruk Jung" movie, doesn't it?

It's so similar to that movie.

Until June. Ooops, Tang remember... ******

It took so long. ********

- Tang. - Huh?

Let's get some ice.

Oh, I should get some ice. Please excuse us.

Let's don't say too much, It's gonna get out of control.

Why? This is fun.

If people find out about it, it's not going to be fun anymore.

C'mon, don't get too serious. This is a party.

Let's go to see Mew sing.

Let me take this.

And this is our new song.

We have never played it anywhere. It will be the first time at this party.

Anyway, let's listen to it.

[I want you to know that a love song,

can't be written if you're not in love]

Do you know? Tang is the most enviable girl.

Why is that?

I don't know. When I grew up,

noone has arranged a party like this for me.

- So I just feel that Tang. ******* - It's not.

It's not like that.

Because when she was with us,

we never had something like this for her.

Can I ask you something? Do you think Tang is still here...

or is she gone?
