City of Ghosts Page #4

I went to join to the army...

to fight the Khmer Rouge.

They kill my father...

because he was a doctor.

I do not want them

to kill people again.

What did you say your name was?

Call me Sok.

I'm Jimmy.

Stick around, Sok.

I won't be long.

Hi.

Is this the Laughing Lotus?

Yes. You like yum-yum? Come.

How are you?

Where you come from?

United States.

You'll do all right

with that one, mate.

She'll give you

a run for your money.

This one here, she's my girl.

She's mine.

I'm taking her away from here.

I'm taking her to Battambang,

to beauty school.

In Australia,

I'm putting her in college.

-Beauty school.

-Excuse me, sir.

There's a guy

I'm supposed to meet...

named Marvin.

You see this papasan

over here? He's going down, man.

He's a scumbag.

He's a slave trader.

I'm going to take him out.

I'm gonna have to

take the f***er out.

F*** it!

Give me a f***ing beer...

Papasan!

Hey! Get your hands--

I'm taking her...

I'm taking you

to beauty school.

Get the f*** off me,

you motherf***er...

Hello!

Hello. She fix you.

Bye-bye.

Hey, Sok.

I should have listened to you.

Yeah. That place no good.

Many bad people.

Many bad people, all right.

Why did you take me here?

My house right over there.

Yeah, it's good place.

She's my friend.

She's a doctor.

-How are you feeling?

-I've felt better.

Bye-bye!

Yeah. Yes, they like

to say in English to you.

They think that you like it.

If you want

to stay longer in Cambodia...

you should try

to be away from trouble.

I will try to be

away from trouble.

-Thank you.

-Yes.

Excuse me.

What time did Marvin drop

off that note yesterday?

No, he didn't. It was a Khmer.

He said he worked for Marvin.

Who's looking for Marvin?

A friend of his.

You know where he is?

No. But I know

who he hangs out with--

an ex-general named Sideth...

and that guy Marvin's

way out of his league.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

Emile.

You want a piece

of friendly advice?

Go back to wherever

it is you came from...

and leave those people alone.

Salud.

-Who's Sideth?

-A bad guy.

Anybody else come back

here looking for me?

I haven't seen anyone.

You know, things run

on a different clock here.

My clock stopped

when a B-40 rocket...

hit my jeep in Mondolkiri.

Really?

I still got shrapnel in my neck.

You can see it.

Look.

I don't see anything.

Maybe you need

a pair of glasses.

He calls himself

"the man of contradictions."

But he's a little bit...

This place attract them

like flies.

Yes. I have Calvados

from my country.

-Thanks.

-Have a glass.

-What's her story?

-Sophie?

No offense,

but guys like you and me--

we don't stand a chance.
