My Girl Page #3

Synopsis: Jeab hears that his childhood sweetheart Noi-Naa is to be married, so he makes the trip back home to his provincial village. As he does so, the memories come flooding back to his childhood in 1980s Thailand. He remembers always being late to school, so his father would have to give him a ride on the back of the motorcycle. After school, he would always play with Noi-Naa and her girlfriends while the neighborhood boys rode their bicycles and played football and Chinese fantasy characters.

I look the most Chinese.

I should be the hero.

Whatever. But I'll be the mother.

I want to be mother, too!

Who has two mothers, Ngor??

Then... I'll be the mistress!

I want to be the mistress, too!

No way! No way! Nobody's the hero

...except for me.

Because I'm the only one

who has a sword.

If I can't be the mother

I'm not playing.

Ngor, let's make cupcakes at your place.

Okay!

Let's do that then.

Are we going to pretend to make them,

or make them for real?

Mom won't let us make them for real.

She'll hit me.

Idiot! Take that! Idiot!

See you later.

Sorry.

Sorry won't bring my ice-cream back.

Come on, Noi Nah. Let's go.

Hey! What about my ice-cream?

I said sorry. What else do you

want me to do, Fatty?

Who's Fatty? This isn't fat!

They call this pleasantly plump.

Anyway who's asking, big tits?

Your mother has big tits.

Watch it, Noi Nah!

Hurry on over.

- Hi Dad, hi Mom.

- Hi.

See you, Mom.

What about your homework?

I'll do it when I get back.

If you don't do your homework

and your teacher hits you...

I know, you'll hit me twice over.

What's so funny?

- Where are you going?

- To get an ice-cream.

- Let's check out the girls there.

- Come on. We'll come too.

Who's that?

What are you doing around here?

I brought my rubber bands.

I want to play.

We don't play with sissies.

Go play with the girls.

Let's go some other place.

What shall we cook today, children?

Clear soup and a herbal curry.

Hold on.

Jeab, why are you so late?

I was riding my bike.

Children! Your father's home.

Daddy... can we have

grilled chicken for dinner?

If you eat too much chicken

you'll get fat.

No I won't. I like chicken.

I like it too. Me too.

Let's make cupcakes, Jeab.

Are we making them for real?

I don't know. We'll have to ask Mom.

What about the others?

Never mind. If they don't play...

you have to eat all the cupcakes.

OK.

OK?

Thanks Jeab.

Bye bye.

You're all sweaty.

Into the shower. It's late.

Mind your own business.

Let me take you inside.

Late again. You're so late

the soapies have started.

I have to hit you every day.

Why can't you be like other children?

Why can't you be like other mothers?

Noi Nah's mother never hits her.

Good morning, teacher.

Sit down. I have to attend a meeting

about Children's Day.

Sit quietly and get your books out.

Jack, write down the names of anybody

who talks

I'll be back shortly.

Yes, Miss.

Remember to keep quiet.

Gimme your new Doraemon comic.

Me first!

Our minds are in sync,

brand new love.

Head over heels in love

I give you my heart

I wouldn't be myself

without you around.

You make me feel so warm

secret rendezvous at 6 a.m.,

it's such a wondrous
