Hey! Don't be stupid.

Ahlo, c'mon.

Didrt your mother teach you anything?

Let's go, too many mosquitoes.

Let's go!

Come on!

Stop it!

You're all mad around here!

You're stupid!

Mosquitoes will bite you to death!

Stupid!

Idiot!

Ahlo, careful with the water.

It's full, take it out.

That little girl lost her whole family.

Malaria.

Good mood today?

Here, let me help.

I'm sorry.

About your family...

about your mother.

Good morning, James Brown.

We had a payout too, once upon a time.

Has your uncle ever changed his clothes?

Never. Not since I can remember.

A present from the American embassy.

America dropped bombs here, didn't they?

Quick, come here, Ahlo.

Come here.

- Ahlo!

- Uncle Purple!

Ahlo, come back!

These people are in grief.

Uncle Purple!

Damn endless ceremonies.

Reminding you what you'd rather forget.

Hey, fish!

Sleeping Tiger.

Enough explosives

to send you to the moon.

Tick... tick...

Boom!

Sleeping Tiger sleeps no more.

Were you a soldier?

Did you kill Americans?

Good time with my uncle?

Eat that if you want to keep up with me.

Got something for you...

This mango is from a 400 year old tree.

If you plant it,

it will make thousands of mangoes.

Got something to show you.

Today I found land for Mom's mangoes.

Ahlo.

I don't want you seeing

that man and girl anymore.

They're outsiders.

They'll make our family look bad.

Ah! The little soldier.

Entrez.

Can't see you and Kia anymore.

Oh... Your father thinks I'm a bum?

Unconventional.

Correct! Bing!

That's me - unconventional.

You any good at catching rats?

I'm good at cooking Rat Pad Thai.

Sound good? Stick around.

Wort get a peep out of that.

No fairy-lights in this abode.

Our house has no electricity.

So who are the people with lights?

Uhh, the Hydro bosses.

Selling electricity

to all bloody Asia...

with nothing left for us.

We're the little people.

I'm not... I'm not cursed.

What idiot killed the lights?

- Where's my power?

- What's that racket?

Finally!

Somebody's going to pay for this!

Get him!

Sorry!

Sorry, Aunty!

Goat testicle wine is not for wasting.

That purple scum put you up to this?

One more stunt like that

and you're history.

The last one in the forest.

Good start for the day.

Did you steal them from the shrines?

These flowers...

are for a burial ceremony.

- It's part of our tradition...

- In my tribe...

there's a tradition.

I'm a twin.

What's he doing?

He's stealing food!

That's sacred!

What's he up to?

Put it out!

It's too far gone!

- This is where he lives!

- Burn it all, serve them right!

He's their kid!

Toma! Don't give them the satisfaction!

These lowland rabble!

You see, big mama? Karma!
