Flat Girls (2025) Movie Script
1
Jane.
Got you.
Cheater.
You've got ice cream on your shirt, Jane.
Mom's going to nag again.
Do you want to swap with me?
Ann. Jane.
Is this all for today?
Yes.
Okay. Then let's go.
-Bro. To the police flats.
-60 baht.
What? But I go for 50 every day.
Then I'm not going. Walk yourself.
The police flats.
60 baht.
50 baht.
I'm not going.
Come on, Ann.
It's hot.
If we share, it doesn't cost so much.
No.
If we pay 60 today,
we'll have to pay 60 every day.
Oh, you're Sgt. Damnern's kid.
Uncle, hello.
Hello.
Are you heading back to the flats?
Can I go with you?
-The tuk-tuk is expensive.
-Sure.
There's a car coming. Move over, please.
These suspects look familiar.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Let's go.
Sorry.
-Does it hurt?
-Go, go.
Give me your bag, Ann.
-Ann, bye.
-Bye.
Jane. Ann.
Hey, Nice.
-Hello, Nice's Dad.
-Hello.
-Nice.
-See you.
Hey, wait up.
Ann, see you at the badminton court.
Okay.
Jane, quickly.
Be careful.
-Hi.
-Hello, Jane. Did you just get back?
Go ahead and pick one,
they're all good brands.
Jane looks so sweet, Nee.
She could be a celeb, you know.
Hey, what kind of celeb?
No way.
Celebs only have small bodies and faces.
Look at her butt and face.
So swollen.
Come on, Nee. She's naturally cute.
That's right.
Is Nice late again?
The clean one's in the bag.
Go ahead and take it.
Here.
When are you going
to throw that racket away?
I told you to take mine.
That racket is old,
your wrist will get sore again.
No.
It's yours.
How could I just take it from you?
Like I said, I'm giving it to you.
See? I have another one here.
I don't want it.
I'm fine with borrowing it.
You're damn stubborn.
Ready?
Yes.
Snacks are on the loser.
Ready?
Hey, where are you aiming for?
Jane.
Shit!
You, go get it.
A bit higher.
Let me.
Jane.
Who hit it?
Must be really strong
to hit it all the way up here.
It must be your doing, right?
Do you guys play all the time?
Yes.
Let's go, Ann.
Thanks.
Building 1, you're so annoying.
You keep following me.
I'm going to go hang out at Ann's.
Any problems?
-So annoying. Ann, let's run.
-Hey!
-What?
-Hey!
-Hurry!
-I can't keep up!
Ann, bye.
-Bye, tomboy.
-Bye, sissy.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Ink!
-Where did you get this from?
-Amy!
Mek, you stole it
from your dad, didn't you?
You're just a kid. Do you think it's cool?
And where's Mom?
I don't know.
-She just said she'll be back.
-Ink!
I'm going to spank you to death!
Bye.
Never mind.
Your mom wants her money today, right?
Let's go to Auntie Daeng's room.
It's okay, I'll take care of you.
Ann will be back soon.
It's me, Ann.
Mom, Auntie Nee asked Jane
to come get her money.
Jane, please tell your mom
that I'll give it to her tomorrow.
Auntie Nee won't complain, right?
It's fine.
Well, Auntie Oom said
she'll bring it over tomorrow.
It should be fine.
Ann's here.
Look at Ann.
Say "Ann."
"Ann."
-"Ann."
-"Ann."
"Ann."
"Ann."
Amy, try saying "Jane" instead.
"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
"Jane."
You already told Auntie Nee
you're sleeping over, right?
Yes.
Your cheeks look scrumptious.
Your lashes are also long.
I'm jealous.
Can I try something?
Sure.
Come here.
Touch my lashes with your lashes.
How?
Come closer.
-How do you feel?
-Ticklish.
Your turn.
Like this?
Did I do it right?
Who taught you to do this?
I won't tell you.
Tell me.
-No.
-You have someone, don't you?
I'm always with you.
Have you seen me with anyone?
I don't know.
You might be dating someone at school.
I don't have anyone.
I wish I do.
I wish you don't.
JANE'S
Ink, you'll fall over.
I think you should just
pay me the principal.
You're always late on your payments.
I don't like it.
-I'll bring it over to you on Saturday.
-Which Saturday?
-This Saturday.
-What time?
Around 4 p.m.
You're always like this.
If you have trouble next time,
I won't help you.
This Saturday at 4 p.m.
If you don't bring me the money,
I'll come to your place.
Don't make me be the bad guy, Oom.
Ann.
Don't break your promise.
Here.
I give you 500.
Get the kids to move
the plants inside for me.
The new captain just got transferred.
He'll definitely inspect the flats soon.
-Maybe after the Guardian's ceremony.
-Thanks, Nee.
Ann, Earng, Ink.
Go help Auntie Nee move the plants.
She gave us money.
Earng. Ink. Don't dilly-dally.
Ann.
I'll help you.
Let the kids play.
It's all right, Jane.
Auntie Nee gave my mom money for it.
Earng. Ink. Didn't you hear me?
Let me help, Ann.
So, it'll be done quicker.
GUARDIAN CHAI MONGKOL SHRINE
Thank you.
Why don't you just come tomorrow?
Ann.
Four.
Ann.
I'm going to have ten pieces, okay?
Sure. Here.
I'll do it for you.
MINCED PORK TOAST - TEN BAHT EACH
Hey, no. Just eat it.
No, Ann. It's what you're selling.
How can I take it for free?
Take it.
I can give it to you.
Because I love you, that's why.
You know,
the only thing that beats money for me
is love.
I won't take your money.
-You have work tomorrow. Are you sure?
-I'm good, bro.
Does your husband never smile for photos?
Phong is always like this.
He doesn't like to have his photos taken.
Whenever he takes a photo,
he hardly ever smiles.
Phong, are you going home yet?
Go on ahead first.
But we have to go house hunting
early in the morning.
I can get up.
Do you already have a house?
We haven't bought one yet, Colonel.
We're just looking.
Houses are really expensive now.
I don't think it'll affect you much.
I've heard the people in the flat say
Senior Sgt. Somphong and Madam Nee
must be the richest in the flat.
How would I have all that money, sir?
I'm just a senior sergeant.
Exactly.
I wonder why as well.
-Nice, what the hell are you doing?
-Shush!
-Help me carry this.
-I'm on the lookout.
Got it.
Pick it up.
There's only one left.
Let's share it.
Do you think
the room's owner ever gets suspicious?
His cigarettes and booze keep missing.
Right.
What will happen
if he installs a security camera?
We'll be in deep shit.
So beautiful.
Where else could we watch fireworks
from the balcony like this?
Right? This is the best place ever.
True.
How long are we still allowed
to stay at the flat?
How many years left
until our dads' retirement?
Another 12 years, I guess?
Twelve years.
We'll be almost 30 then.
Do you think
we'll still be here or move out?
I think I'll stay until the very end.
I don't want to move.
Ditto.
Then you should be a police officer.
So you can continue staying here.
Oh, my!
You want me to be a cop?
Finding a husband who's a cop
is much easier.
I have no desire to live here forever.
I'm more afraid of
not being able to leave.
Take a look at Gail.
It's as if her life
has just stopped right here.
It seems not long ago that we were talking
about we'd go study at a uni far away
and stay in a dorm together.
And now?
She won't even come out
for a game of badminton.
Shit!
Get up. Climb over to that room.
What about this stuff?
Just leave it.
We're screwed.
Scoot over.
Hurry.
Let's go.
Hey.
Hold up. Stop!
How'd you get in here?
Answer me.
You reek of cigarette smoke.
Is it coming from you?
Hey.
Don't you try to point fingers at me.
I don't smoke.
So?
-Hey!
-Take that.
Hey, hold on.
Why don't you come play badminton with us?
My friend here wants
to have a game with you.
-Go.
-Faster.
Why'd you say that?
Is he going to snitch to our parents
about smoking?
No.
He doesn't seem the type.
Jane, girl.
Your room's close to his.
Just right across.
Keep your eyes on him for me,
see if he's got a wife.
But with such good looks,
I bet he's taken.
He's going to be mine.
You slutty tomboy!
You're sluttier.
What?
Hey!
Is the ice cream good, Sport?
Mom, hi.
Tong.
Hello, Ms. Nee.
-Hi.
-Mr. Phong asked me to drop by.
You're here to collect the money
for covering his shift, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Jane.
Bring me my purse, will you?
Don't leave just yet.
Looking at your physique,
you must like working out, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Well, do you know
any workouts to slim the butt?
Help Jane out, will you?
Whenever I see her wear pants,
her butts look so big and ugly.
I never allow her
to have any snacks at home.
I'm not sure if she sneaks them
when she's out.
I think Jane looks normal, ma'am.
It's not normal.
She needs to lose a little bit more.
How about this?
I will leave Jane under your care then.
It's okay, ma'am.
Use it to buy drinks after working out.
Thank you, ma'am.
Jane.
I'm making you go exercise with Tong.
Do you understand?
MATCH SCORE
Hit!
This way.
Smash!
End game.
21-15. Game!
Ink!
You can't play well yet. Use Ann's racket.
No, I'm going to use Jane's.
Well done, Nice.
Give me five.
Why do you play so well, Tong?
This is my first time.
This is crazy, I must have talent.
Sure.
Great. Awesome.
-Right.
-You're born to do this.
So perfect.
-Don't you believe me?
-Who wouldn't?
There's no way.
You're cheeky, aren't you, Nice?
Is the light broken again?
Man, how come it's broken
when it's our turn?
It's because you were too busy
fighting over my racket.
It'll be a while before we can play again.
Last time, it was ages
before it got fixed.
I'm fed up. The court's full of dog shit.
The court's lines are also all faded.
I'll tell Mom to go press the station,
so they'd quickly come fix it.
-Tell your mom to hire a repair guy.
-You wish.
She's such a penny-pincher.
Why don't you try asking her?
You go ask then.
And what is my relation to your family?
She wouldn't do it.
DAMNED BULLSHIFLATSTERS
Oh, Sport.
What happened to all your friends?
Aren't you going to play badminton today?
We aren't playing today.
Nice went out
with his friends from school.
We can play, just the two of us.
Hurry up and go change.
No. It's not fun with just two people.
You've got a lot of excuses, you know?
Well then, let's go for a run.
Behind the flats.
No, I'm tired.
I'll buy you a popsicle.
My mom gave you a lot of money.
Just one popsicle?
Your mom had me exercise with you,
not take you to have snacks.
Let's go.
Be careful of the cars.
Hi, ma'am.
-Hello.
-Do you remember me?
Of course I do.
-Did your dad not come with you?
-He didn't.
I'm here with the guy
wearing the navy blue shirt.
He's also a cop. Is there a free table?
I just wiped down one.
No one has taken it yet.
-Go in and sit.
-Thank you.
All right, new order is placed.
Ready to be served.
Noodles in syrup?
Where'd you transfer from?
Phetchabun.
Doesn't Phetchabun have any bok kia?
No.
All right.
I'm going to try it.
Bok kia.
Right?
It tastes better than I imagined.
I'm happy for you.
I'm happy for you that
you got to eat tasty stuff.
Aren't you happy?
Fine.
I'm happy.
Oh, right.
The way you cut the line back there.
It's not right, you know?
It's fine.
That's just how things work around here.
Dad always gets a table
when he comes here.
People hate the cops enough as it is.
Let us have a place in society.
Haven't you eaten enough?
By the looks of it,
we probably won't get to run today.
So, let's not.
Are you tired?
Yes.
Keep it up, Sport.
About half of the noodles in your stomach
have already disappeared.
Hang in there.
Hurry.
Hey, you're slacking again.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey.
What's that?
Nothing.
Why would you wear that thing?
What would happen
if you can't breathe and die of shock?
You're being dramatic.
Seriously.
Your mom left you in my care.
I should make sure
nothing happens to you, right?
It's nothing.
Next time,
I won't wear it.
Good.
Tong.
Don't tell my mom, okay?
What century are we living in?
No one would say anything.
Just be whatever you want to be.
Be whatever I want to be,
just be a good person, right?
Just be happy, that's all.
Are you up for it?
Are you?
Did you push me?
Shit!
Jane!
Jane.
Are you hurt?
Are you okay?
Careful.
If it doesnt hurt,
then it's not sprained.
It's good.
You still haven't gotten
to actually run, Piggy.
Wait.
That's not what I meant.
It's
You have BDE, Tong.
Yes, you do have BDE.
What does BDE mean?
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Hey, wait up.
-The cruise!
-What's BDE?
-Let's go look at the cruise.
-Tell me.
Come on.
You didn't wait for me.
Tong, have you ever been on a cruise?
No.
It passes this spot every day.
I never know how far it goes.
One day, we'll get
to ride this cruise, Ann.
How long have we been wondering?
Did you say you wanted to know
where it travels to?
I'd better go.
-Do you know?
-I don't.
-Tong.
-Let us go with you.
-I can't hear you.
-Wait, mister!
-What?
-Wait for me!
Tong, it's leaving.
Let's keep on going.
-Keep on going?
-Yes.
Come on.
So? Is it on its way?
Are you tricking us?
-Or the cruise doesn't come to this point?
-Hey.
You know, I'm not from around here.
Why don't you guys know?
Then should we wait a bit longer?
We've already spent so long chasing it.
It should come soon.
Will it be long?
Hold on.
Are you growing out your mustache?
I'm all grown up now.
You're a man.
Have you two been close
since you were kids?
Well, ever since we were born.
At my home, there's a picture of Ann
taken with me
when I was a baby.
Show-off.
Well
We were both born at the flats.
And we've always been together.
We grew up together.
You must be bored of each other, then.
You're also irritated, right?
We're irritated with you, Tong.
Someone's mad.
Hey, it's here!
It's here.
Come on.
-We're here!
-Tong, wave at them.
No.
-Hurry up!
-Come on, Tong.
Hello!
Louder, Tong, louder!
Hi! What are you eating?
-Can we have some too?
-Can we have some too?
This is awesome.
Right?
Wait for me!
Loser.
You'll trip over again.
Jane.
-Come on.
-What a loser.
Ann.
I'm going to head in first,
not sure if my mom's home with the kids.
Why?
Ann looked really happy today.
You did a great job, Tong.
You like Ann, dont you?
Not that way. Are you crazy?
-We've known each other since we're kids.
-Is that so?
Yes, I don't like her.
-Are you sure?
-Yes!
I don't!
Are you crazy or what?
-If you say so.
-I don't like her that way.
Sure you don't.
There's no need to act cool.
-Okay. You don't.
-Yes, I don't!
This one.
Here.
Right.
-And then
-Ann, can you show me?
Ann.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Do you
Do you like Tong?
Well, I do.
He's kind of cute.
But I won't date a cop.
Good cops are all poor.
I don't want to be like Mom.
Almost done. Just a bit more.
Done. But don't open your eyes just yet.
I said don't open your eyes.
Done. You can open your eyes now.
Let's go to bed.
Ann.
Let's do that.
This.
Who first?
You first.
Your turn.
Jane.
I
I don't really like it
when you're with Tong.
I'm not sure
if I like you in that way.
How do you feel?
I don't know.
I
don't feel anything.
What about you?
Ann.
When we
kiss the person we like
how are we supposed to feel?
I don't know.
You probably wouldn't
even doubt it, I guess.
Like
this is it.
It feels right.
I almost couldn't take
my kids out in time.
There wasn't any warning.
Is this even allowed?
This captain is so rigid.
All the cops at the station
are complaining.
What if we get evicted?
What will we do?
I'm scared.
Ten baht per bag, freshly made and hot!
We serve popcorn.
Ten baht per bag,
with both sweet and salty flavors.
Retail or wholesale, freshly made and hot!
Is there anyone home?
Is there anyone?
I guess no one's home.
They won't kick you out, Ann.
My mom should be able
to put in a word for you.
It worked last time.
Well, last time, my dad just died.
It has been two years already.
They might not let us stay any longer.
But if you really can't,
you can stay with me first.
Your sisters can stay with Nice as well.
It should be fine.
I want to live with Jane.
I want to stay in a room with AC.
Right.
Stay with me,
you'll get to sleep in the AC room.
Wouldn't that be nice, Ann?
Do you want me to be your maid?
How did it go, Mom?
They're letting us stay.
Oom.
I think you should be
on the lookout for other options.
Think of other means as well.
The former captain allowed you to stay.
This one did too.
But one day, if they don't,
what will you do?
Where will you go to?
Jane.
Help me hang the clothes up, will you?
Oh, Jane.
If you know anyone
who wants to learn English,
please refer me to them.
Me!
Of course.
If it's you, I'd give you free lessons.
No, Ann. Go ahead and charge me.
My mom can afford it.
I want to help you out as well.
No way.
But aren't you exhausted enough as it is?
You need to wash and iron clothes.
Will you have any energy left to tutor?
I wonder as well.
Ann.
If you didn't have to worry
about money at all,
what would you want to be?
What kind of work do you want to do?
Things like that.
-If I didn't have to worry about money?
-Yes.
I want to be a flight attendant.
I want to travel the world.
And flight attendants have to be pretty.
You can be one for sure.
Isn't this like
a flight attendant's uniform?
No. That's a bank teller's uniform.
It belongs to Sgt. Oh's wife.
Really?
But if there were a scarf and cap,
it'll do.
Is it okay?
Here.
I only know how to fold boats.
But it does look like a cap, right?
Try saying, "Coffee or tea?"
There, there.
You, of course. I chose you.
Take a picture.
Come on.
Strike a pose.
-How?
-Like this.
Twist your waist too.
One, two, three! There.
With me as well.
Smile. One, two, three.
It suits you, Ann.
So pretty.
Ann.
If you see me on an airplane,
don't forget to take me
straight to first class.
I probably won't have the means
to do so myself.
Of course.
I'll give Miss Jane the best treatment.
Promise?
Promise.
Is it really that good?
Yes.
Tong.
Why don't I ever see you hang out
with the other cops?
Why are you always with us?
Because it's fun hanging out
with you guys.
-Really?
-Yes.
Really?
Why?
Why are you so curious, Piggy?
You keep calling me that.
I'm not that fat, am I?
Hey.
I didn't mean it that way.
How could you not?
See? You just called me that.
This is Piggy.
My kid.
Whenever I see your face, I think of her.
So, I always slip out
calling you her name.
Sorry about that.
Are you that surprised?
So,
where is she now?
Why isn't she living here with you?
She's with her mom.
Her mom has a new family already.
I moved away to give them space.
It's better this way.
Fine then, you can call me that.
I'm not mad anymore.
Really?
In exchange for two popsicles.
Every day.
-Okay?
-Do you really mean it?
Nice, go slowly.
Now, you've got to brake.
-Hit the brakes.
-How?
Gently hit the brakes.
-Hit the brakes!
-Brake!
-I couldn't get the pressure right.
-Nice.
Can I get out of the car?
I don't want to die.
No way! How long have we been friends?
-Are you going to ditch me to die alone?
-Stop it.
Don't talk about stuff like that.
It's not good, you know?
Tong, we're just joking around.
You don't understand us teens.
Can't you pay more attention?
I'm at risk of getting thrown into jail
for letting you drive a police car.
I will have food delivered to you in jail,
-so you won't starve.
-I'll go visit you.
Is he the male lead
of a music video, or what?
What?
Are you mocking me?
It's not nice to mock grown-ups, Nice.
Oh no. I'm a bad kid.
Are you done taking pictures?
Let's continue with my driving lessons.
Actually, Tong,
even if I knew how to drive,
I wouldn't have a car to drive anyway.
But you should still learn to drive.
In case an emergency happens. Right?
If there is an emergency, we have you.
True.
You all, when you grow up,
you will forget all about me.
You're so dramatic. Who'd forget you?
That's what you say now.
Okay, well done, Piggy.
Keep the steering wheel steady.
You're getting the hang of it.
Okay, carefully.
Hey, it's counting down. What do I do?
Stop the car.
Should we stop or just speed off?
Hey, you can't speed off! Stop it now.
Stop!
Officer One, calling Officer Two.
Yes?
Tong farted in the car.
It stinks so much.
Hey, it's not true. I didn't fart.
I can smell it from here.
-Give me that.
-Hey.
-You can't.
-What's this button for?
Don't press it.
You can't play with it.
You should tell yourself that.
Tong.
Hey!
What are you doing?
You've got soft cheeks.
You're quite daring.
Keep your eyes ahead.
-Loser!
-What?
What loser?
-Who really is a loser?
-What are you blabbing about?
Dang.
-You lost!
-Poor you.
Mom.
Mom.
Where have you been?
I was around here.
Iron these two piles.
The customer wants them tomorrow.
I'll put Amy to bed.
Hello, Ann. Are you asleep yet?
Not yet.
What is it, Jane?
Ann. Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are taking me
to go house hunting again.
Do you want to go together?
-Are they buying it?
-Mom wants to.
She might just buy it,
but we won't move in just yet.
I don't want to move.
Like I said,
I'm going to stay here
with you until the very end.
If you have a house,
you'll get your own room, right?
Yes, when you sleep over at my place,
you don't have to worry about Mom.
Sounds good?
Ann.
When you grow up,
finish school and get a job,
buy the house next to mine, okay?
I'll go ask Nice to move as well.
We should all live next to each other.
Well, wait for me
to get a job first, okay?
Flight attendants earn a lot.
You'll be able to buy a house for sure.
You'd better go to sleep, Jane.
You should also go to bed.
Don't let me find out
you snuck in some ironing
and won't go to bed.
Tong.
-I thought you said you don't smoke.
-Hey!
How did you get in there?
We always sneak in here.
The owner is hardly here.
Such a troublemaker.
Let me have a puff.
-No, you're still a kid.
-Come on, please.
If not, I'm going to tell the girls
that you smoke.
Smart-ass.
Here.
Only one puff, okay?
Are you stressed out about something?
Why did you become a cop?
Yes, I wonder too.
As a kid, I was a troublemaker.
I didn't really like to study.
So, my parents told me
to just get a job as a civil servant.
Like how country folks
usually tell their kids.
-It's not what you wanted to be?
-No.
I wanted to be a national athlete.
But I got distracted by girls.
You know,
actually I can just become a cop.
My dad died in the line of duty,
so I'm eligible.
My family isn't allowed
to live here anymore.
But Mom doesn't know where to take us to.
So, we have to keep on asking for favors.
Who knows when we'll be kicked out.
So, I've been thinking
should I just be a cop?
That way, my family can
continue living here.
Don't.
You can be something much better.
Could you teach Earng
how to play badminton?
-She wants to be a badminton player.
-Sure.
But when I told you I was an athlete,
I meant I was a boxer.
Jabs and uppercuts, stuff like that.
Will it work?
Well, I guess.
Damn.
-Tong, move away.
-What?
-Move!
-Is someone coming?
-Yes, move!
-Hey, what are you doing?
Be careful. Hey!
Shush!
Come inside.
The last time you snuck in
by climbing over like this?
Smart.
-You're starting to become a flatster.
-Of course.
You don't want to go home, right?
If there's something you need help with,
let me know.
You don't have to be
the Big Sis Ann all the time.
It's tiring, you know?
It's okay.
Jane.
Go collect 3,000 baht from Tong for me.
And then meet me in front of the station.
Tong.
Yes?
What is it?
I lost my phone.
Maybe I left it here.
-Where did you leave it?
-I don't know.
This one?
Yes.
Do you like it, honey?
Should we take this one?
I think it's too expensive.
And too far as well.
If you don't need such a big house,
just one that's cheaper
and closer to the city,
there are more options.
Only a few of us will be living in it.
Why do you need such a big house?
Well, there are three of us.
We can still stay at the flat
for over ten years.
What's the rush?
Jane also doesnt want to move yet.
Jane, can I borrow your racket?
Ann, could I have the racket?
Ann, did you buy a new racket?
Yes.
Earng broke the old one.
Tong bought it for you, didn't he?
Jane.
I thought you said
you wouldn't date a cop?
Answer me.
Well, he gives me money.
You even dare say it out loud?
Do you even know what love is?
Love is only what people with money have.
What would you know about it?
Your family has everything.
How would someone like me
would dare to love anyone?
What are you rambling on about?
Why don't you come home with Ann anymore?
I'm too lazy to wait around.
Did she really take a taxi?
Does she have that much money now?
Tong probably gave her the money.
Well, they're seeing each other.
Ann and Tong?
What's their age gap?
Isn't Tong 34 or 35?
And Tong
He doesn't have much money.
He even borrowed money from me.
PIGGY
-Piggy.
-Dad.
Where are you? Are you off work?
Do you miss me?
I do. Well, do I?
Yes, I do miss you.
Sweetie.
Your mom sent me a clip of you
taking piano lessons.
You're very good.
Do you like the piano?
If you do, I'll buy you one.
Uncle Nop already bought it for me.
Let me show you.
Really?
That's fine.
I'll pay him back then.
No need, Dad.
Uncle Nop is super rich.
You'd better save the money
so that you can come see me.
Mom told me you never visit me
because you don't have enough money.
Of course I do.
I have a lot as well.
The work I'm doing
is to earn money for you, Piggy.
Mom always says stuff like that.
Don't listen to her.
-Okay?
-Then, can you come see me this Saturday?
I've got to go, Piggy.
Mom asked me to collect the money.
You don't even have money.
And you are still giving it to others?
Ann's family is in need.
I just want to help them.
And why would you help them?
You can't even take care of yourself.
For Ann,
if I can make her life a bit easier,
I'm happy.
When I take care of you,
I am also very happy.
I'm going to smash it now.
Earng, you first. Serve it here.
Come on.
That's it, great.
Ink, you're up.
Catch it.
Serve it to me.
Good.
Ink, catch.
You're not running after it.
Earng.
CRIMINAL CODE
I'll be back.
Hey.
Aren't you going to ask?
Did you leave it here for me to ask?
Fine, I'll ask.
Are you taking the exam for a promotion?
Yes.
Good for you.
Please teach me English, Ms. Ann.
Tong is in the room with Auntie Oom.
Go take care of the money and the wedding.
Then we'll talk.
Ann, come inside and talk with me.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann!
Have you lost it?
Are you satisfied?
Ann!
-Come back right now!
-Mom.
Let me talk to her.
Jane.
Auntie Oom found out about Ann and Tong.
She wants them to get married.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
What are you doing?
Why would you care?
You won't marry him, right?
Why?
Do you really like him that much?
I don't know.
But that's not important.
He isn't good enough for you
to stop your life for him.
Don't you want to leave this place?
You make it sound so easy.
It isn't easy at all!
Ann.
You know,
in my life,
I don't really know anything.
I've never known
what I like or what I want.
But the one thing I know is
that I'm absolutely confident in you.
I know that if there's something
you want to do,
you can do it.
Believe me just once, will you?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Let's go ride that cruise.
Tomorrow.
Bring the kids as well.
I'll take all of you.
Okay?
If you could give me
ten million right now,
I'll live with you.
Ann, can you not leave me?
I'm trying.
But you have to give me
some time, can you?
I can't wait, Tong.
Ann.
You know that I might
be able to make it, right?
Yes, I know.
You know
whether it be 10 million
or 20 million
you'll be able to earn it.
You're going to make it.
I know it.
Mom. Where did you go?
I went to move the car.
Why are you dressed like you went out?
What's with all the questions?
Where are you going now?
Collect my money from Oom.
She's been avoiding me for days.
Don't come!
Stay home.
Ann.
Is your mom home?
She never answers my calls.
She's not home.
Where is she?
I don't know either.
Go get her.
Mom.
Knock again.
Mom. Auntie Nee is here.
Where?
The 200,000 you said
you were going to pay me back.
-Where is it?
-I'm looking for it.
How? Where?
By playing cards like this?
Don't play tricks on me, Oom.
I'll tell the captain about
what you've been doing.
You'll get kicked out.
-Please don't do that, Nee.
-Stop it.
By the end of this month,
you must return the 200,000 to me.
I've noticed Ann's got money to spend now.
-Go get Tong to find it for you.
-Mom.
What's with you?
Why do you need the money so urgently?
You see how they're having problems.
How are they going to return the money?
You really want to know
the reason, right?
Come.
Your dad is living in that house
with his mistress.
Mistress?
Who?
A woman from that gambling den.
He told us he had no money
to buy us the house.
It's because he spent it all
buying this one.
He doesn't want us anymore.
He will leave us in that shitty flats.
Phong, you bastard!
-Bitch!
-Mom!
Come out right now.
One of us must die today.
Mom!
Didn't you think about me?
If you get thrown in jail,
what will happen to me?
Live with your dad.
You hate me anyway!
I don't want that.
I want to live with you.
Jane.
Honey, take your mom back home.
If I go out now, it'll cause a scene.
Let's go back home.
I need to collect all the money
I loaned out
so we can buy a house with it.
We can't stay here anymore, Jane.
Ann, what did you ask the Guardian for?
I can't tell you. It won't come true.
Ann. Hold on.
Sit down first.
Ann.
This is my ring.
My mom gave it to me when I was a kid.
You can sell it.
And return the money to my mom.
I can't take it, Jane.
Ann.
This time, I'm begging you.
Let me help you.
You belong with me.
Don't you ever leave me.
Okay?
Can I borrow 30,000 from you?
Just charge me interest.
My kid is in hospital.
The little one's very sick.
She's been in the ICU for a few days.
-Should I collect Auntie Boom's fee?
-But she still hasn't recovered.
-Sure, it's the end of the month.
-Yes, I'm stressed.
Okay.
-Ink.
-She's my daughter.
-Let's go.
-The treatment costs tens of thousands.
Damn it.
What did Tong say about the money?
I've already broken up with him.
Are you stupid?
Don't you see that I have to beg around
asking people to lend me money?
Have you ever thought of
helping the family out?
And how have I never helped you?
Ever since Dad died,
I've always helped you earn money.
Can't I have a life of my own?
Do you still dare
to only think about yourself?
Did you ever know?
The reason your dad was in debt
was that he used the money on you guys.
Let me tell you,
you should give up your dream
of becoming a flight attendant.
Don't you think I don't know
about your plan to leave us.
You're going to leave me
and your sisters, just like your dad!
Why did you even have me?
If you aren't going to help,
I'll do it my own way.
Hello, this is the police station.
There are people gambling at the flats.
Building 2, room 105.
Could you come and take care of it?
Mom, do you want anything?
No. Look after your sisters.
-Okay.
-When will you get out?
Soon.
They are so damn mean.
They kicked us out like stray dogs.
I don't know what to do.
Are you going to marry Tong
or become a cop?
Think about it.
Or else, we'll all just live out
on the streets.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Where are you going?
It'd be nice if the cruise kept moving
and never turned back.
How about we close our eyes?
That way, when it turns back around,
we won't know.
Let's go.
Mom.
Jane.
Do you know how to make edits?
Edit what, Mom?
Can you edit my face onto this picture?
Why?
I want to have a picture with him
when he's smiling.
It won't look real, Mom.
It's fine.
Just do what you can.
Earng. I brought a fan for you.
Thanks, Jane.
Where's Auntie Oom?
I don't know either.
She's probably over
at Auntie Daeng's room.
Here, for you.
Hey, it's fine, Jane.
I don't really play much these days.
I want to give it to you. Just take it.
I usually don't use this one anyway.
Okay.
Come out and play today, okay?
As a final hurrah for me.
I don't think I can, Jane.
I have to iron the clothes
and deliver them today.
Can I have that?
This one?
DOG SHIT COURWhen they come to repaint,
don't let them cover it up.
I don't think it'll be possible.
Let's take a picture.
Sure.
Hey, hold on.
Hurry.
-My turn.
-Sure.
JANE, NICE, INK, AMY, EARNG, TONG, ANN
Tong, let's go.
It's your turn to be on the lookout
and I'll take the bet, okay?
This number is not in service
at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello, Ann.
It's Jane.
I don't know
if you'll get to hear this.
But I still want to tell you.
Tomorrow,
I'll be moving out of the flat.
My parents divorced.
Without you here,
moving out
doesn't seem as hard as I thought.
That day,
we asked the Guardian for a wish
I guessed
you asked to leave this place, right?
I hope I guessed it right.
Because at least your wish came true.
But do you know
what did I wish for?
I asked for us to be here
together forever.
And why did the Guardian take sides?
He only granted your wish.
That day,
I wished
to wake up and become an adult
who could solve
all the problems of this world.
That way, I'd know how to make
my dad love my mom again.
And I'd know how to ease your pain
so you'd stay with me.
Sounds like a silly wish, doesn't it?
That's why the Guardian didn't grant it.
I miss you, Ann.
I miss you terribly.
Even though
we aren't still together like I wished
I'm glad
to have grown up together with you.
And I'll live my life well.
And I hope one day,
we'll bump into each other on a plane
because you'll have to take me
to sit in first class.
Remember?
ANN
Jane.
Got you.
Cheater.
You've got ice cream on your shirt, Jane.
Mom's going to nag again.
Do you want to swap with me?
Ann. Jane.
Is this all for today?
Yes.
Okay. Then let's go.
-Bro. To the police flats.
-60 baht.
What? But I go for 50 every day.
Then I'm not going. Walk yourself.
The police flats.
60 baht.
50 baht.
I'm not going.
Come on, Ann.
It's hot.
If we share, it doesn't cost so much.
No.
If we pay 60 today,
we'll have to pay 60 every day.
Oh, you're Sgt. Damnern's kid.
Uncle, hello.
Hello.
Are you heading back to the flats?
Can I go with you?
-The tuk-tuk is expensive.
-Sure.
There's a car coming. Move over, please.
These suspects look familiar.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Let's go.
Sorry.
-Does it hurt?
-Go, go.
Give me your bag, Ann.
-Ann, bye.
-Bye.
Jane. Ann.
Hey, Nice.
-Hello, Nice's Dad.
-Hello.
-Nice.
-See you.
Hey, wait up.
Ann, see you at the badminton court.
Okay.
Jane, quickly.
Be careful.
-Hi.
-Hello, Jane. Did you just get back?
Go ahead and pick one,
they're all good brands.
Jane looks so sweet, Nee.
She could be a celeb, you know.
Hey, what kind of celeb?
No way.
Celebs only have small bodies and faces.
Look at her butt and face.
So swollen.
Come on, Nee. She's naturally cute.
That's right.
Is Nice late again?
The clean one's in the bag.
Go ahead and take it.
Here.
When are you going
to throw that racket away?
I told you to take mine.
That racket is old,
your wrist will get sore again.
No.
It's yours.
How could I just take it from you?
Like I said, I'm giving it to you.
See? I have another one here.
I don't want it.
I'm fine with borrowing it.
You're damn stubborn.
Ready?
Yes.
Snacks are on the loser.
Ready?
Hey, where are you aiming for?
Jane.
Shit!
You, go get it.
A bit higher.
Let me.
Jane.
Who hit it?
Must be really strong
to hit it all the way up here.
It must be your doing, right?
Do you guys play all the time?
Yes.
Let's go, Ann.
Thanks.
Building 1, you're so annoying.
You keep following me.
I'm going to go hang out at Ann's.
Any problems?
-So annoying. Ann, let's run.
-Hey!
-What?
-Hey!
-Hurry!
-I can't keep up!
Ann, bye.
-Bye, tomboy.
-Bye, sissy.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Ink!
-Where did you get this from?
-Amy!
Mek, you stole it
from your dad, didn't you?
You're just a kid. Do you think it's cool?
And where's Mom?
I don't know.
-She just said she'll be back.
-Ink!
I'm going to spank you to death!
Bye.
Never mind.
Your mom wants her money today, right?
Let's go to Auntie Daeng's room.
It's okay, I'll take care of you.
Ann will be back soon.
It's me, Ann.
Mom, Auntie Nee asked Jane
to come get her money.
Jane, please tell your mom
that I'll give it to her tomorrow.
Auntie Nee won't complain, right?
It's fine.
Well, Auntie Oom said
she'll bring it over tomorrow.
It should be fine.
Ann's here.
Look at Ann.
Say "Ann."
"Ann."
-"Ann."
-"Ann."
"Ann."
"Ann."
Amy, try saying "Jane" instead.
"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
-"Jane."
"Jane."
You already told Auntie Nee
you're sleeping over, right?
Yes.
Your cheeks look scrumptious.
Your lashes are also long.
I'm jealous.
Can I try something?
Sure.
Come here.
Touch my lashes with your lashes.
How?
Come closer.
-How do you feel?
-Ticklish.
Your turn.
Like this?
Did I do it right?
Who taught you to do this?
I won't tell you.
Tell me.
-No.
-You have someone, don't you?
I'm always with you.
Have you seen me with anyone?
I don't know.
You might be dating someone at school.
I don't have anyone.
I wish I do.
I wish you don't.
JANE'S
Ink, you'll fall over.
I think you should just
pay me the principal.
You're always late on your payments.
I don't like it.
-I'll bring it over to you on Saturday.
-Which Saturday?
-This Saturday.
-What time?
Around 4 p.m.
You're always like this.
If you have trouble next time,
I won't help you.
This Saturday at 4 p.m.
If you don't bring me the money,
I'll come to your place.
Don't make me be the bad guy, Oom.
Ann.
Don't break your promise.
Here.
I give you 500.
Get the kids to move
the plants inside for me.
The new captain just got transferred.
He'll definitely inspect the flats soon.
-Maybe after the Guardian's ceremony.
-Thanks, Nee.
Ann, Earng, Ink.
Go help Auntie Nee move the plants.
She gave us money.
Earng. Ink. Don't dilly-dally.
Ann.
I'll help you.
Let the kids play.
It's all right, Jane.
Auntie Nee gave my mom money for it.
Earng. Ink. Didn't you hear me?
Let me help, Ann.
So, it'll be done quicker.
GUARDIAN CHAI MONGKOL SHRINE
Thank you.
Why don't you just come tomorrow?
Ann.
Four.
Ann.
I'm going to have ten pieces, okay?
Sure. Here.
I'll do it for you.
MINCED PORK TOAST - TEN BAHT EACH
Hey, no. Just eat it.
No, Ann. It's what you're selling.
How can I take it for free?
Take it.
I can give it to you.
Because I love you, that's why.
You know,
the only thing that beats money for me
is love.
I won't take your money.
-You have work tomorrow. Are you sure?
-I'm good, bro.
Does your husband never smile for photos?
Phong is always like this.
He doesn't like to have his photos taken.
Whenever he takes a photo,
he hardly ever smiles.
Phong, are you going home yet?
Go on ahead first.
But we have to go house hunting
early in the morning.
I can get up.
Do you already have a house?
We haven't bought one yet, Colonel.
We're just looking.
Houses are really expensive now.
I don't think it'll affect you much.
I've heard the people in the flat say
Senior Sgt. Somphong and Madam Nee
must be the richest in the flat.
How would I have all that money, sir?
I'm just a senior sergeant.
Exactly.
I wonder why as well.
-Nice, what the hell are you doing?
-Shush!
-Help me carry this.
-I'm on the lookout.
Got it.
Pick it up.
There's only one left.
Let's share it.
Do you think
the room's owner ever gets suspicious?
His cigarettes and booze keep missing.
Right.
What will happen
if he installs a security camera?
We'll be in deep shit.
So beautiful.
Where else could we watch fireworks
from the balcony like this?
Right? This is the best place ever.
True.
How long are we still allowed
to stay at the flat?
How many years left
until our dads' retirement?
Another 12 years, I guess?
Twelve years.
We'll be almost 30 then.
Do you think
we'll still be here or move out?
I think I'll stay until the very end.
I don't want to move.
Ditto.
Then you should be a police officer.
So you can continue staying here.
Oh, my!
You want me to be a cop?
Finding a husband who's a cop
is much easier.
I have no desire to live here forever.
I'm more afraid of
not being able to leave.
Take a look at Gail.
It's as if her life
has just stopped right here.
It seems not long ago that we were talking
about we'd go study at a uni far away
and stay in a dorm together.
And now?
She won't even come out
for a game of badminton.
Shit!
Get up. Climb over to that room.
What about this stuff?
Just leave it.
We're screwed.
Scoot over.
Hurry.
Let's go.
Hey.
Hold up. Stop!
How'd you get in here?
Answer me.
You reek of cigarette smoke.
Is it coming from you?
Hey.
Don't you try to point fingers at me.
I don't smoke.
So?
-Hey!
-Take that.
Hey, hold on.
Why don't you come play badminton with us?
My friend here wants
to have a game with you.
-Go.
-Faster.
Why'd you say that?
Is he going to snitch to our parents
about smoking?
No.
He doesn't seem the type.
Jane, girl.
Your room's close to his.
Just right across.
Keep your eyes on him for me,
see if he's got a wife.
But with such good looks,
I bet he's taken.
He's going to be mine.
You slutty tomboy!
You're sluttier.
What?
Hey!
Is the ice cream good, Sport?
Mom, hi.
Tong.
Hello, Ms. Nee.
-Hi.
-Mr. Phong asked me to drop by.
You're here to collect the money
for covering his shift, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Jane.
Bring me my purse, will you?
Don't leave just yet.
Looking at your physique,
you must like working out, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Well, do you know
any workouts to slim the butt?
Help Jane out, will you?
Whenever I see her wear pants,
her butts look so big and ugly.
I never allow her
to have any snacks at home.
I'm not sure if she sneaks them
when she's out.
I think Jane looks normal, ma'am.
It's not normal.
She needs to lose a little bit more.
How about this?
I will leave Jane under your care then.
It's okay, ma'am.
Use it to buy drinks after working out.
Thank you, ma'am.
Jane.
I'm making you go exercise with Tong.
Do you understand?
MATCH SCORE
Hit!
This way.
Smash!
End game.
21-15. Game!
Ink!
You can't play well yet. Use Ann's racket.
No, I'm going to use Jane's.
Well done, Nice.
Give me five.
Why do you play so well, Tong?
This is my first time.
This is crazy, I must have talent.
Sure.
Great. Awesome.
-Right.
-You're born to do this.
So perfect.
-Don't you believe me?
-Who wouldn't?
There's no way.
You're cheeky, aren't you, Nice?
Is the light broken again?
Man, how come it's broken
when it's our turn?
It's because you were too busy
fighting over my racket.
It'll be a while before we can play again.
Last time, it was ages
before it got fixed.
I'm fed up. The court's full of dog shit.
The court's lines are also all faded.
I'll tell Mom to go press the station,
so they'd quickly come fix it.
-Tell your mom to hire a repair guy.
-You wish.
She's such a penny-pincher.
Why don't you try asking her?
You go ask then.
And what is my relation to your family?
She wouldn't do it.
DAMNED BULLSHIFLATSTERS
Oh, Sport.
What happened to all your friends?
Aren't you going to play badminton today?
We aren't playing today.
Nice went out
with his friends from school.
We can play, just the two of us.
Hurry up and go change.
No. It's not fun with just two people.
You've got a lot of excuses, you know?
Well then, let's go for a run.
Behind the flats.
No, I'm tired.
I'll buy you a popsicle.
My mom gave you a lot of money.
Just one popsicle?
Your mom had me exercise with you,
not take you to have snacks.
Let's go.
Be careful of the cars.
Hi, ma'am.
-Hello.
-Do you remember me?
Of course I do.
-Did your dad not come with you?
-He didn't.
I'm here with the guy
wearing the navy blue shirt.
He's also a cop. Is there a free table?
I just wiped down one.
No one has taken it yet.
-Go in and sit.
-Thank you.
All right, new order is placed.
Ready to be served.
Noodles in syrup?
Where'd you transfer from?
Phetchabun.
Doesn't Phetchabun have any bok kia?
No.
All right.
I'm going to try it.
Bok kia.
Right?
It tastes better than I imagined.
I'm happy for you.
I'm happy for you that
you got to eat tasty stuff.
Aren't you happy?
Fine.
I'm happy.
Oh, right.
The way you cut the line back there.
It's not right, you know?
It's fine.
That's just how things work around here.
Dad always gets a table
when he comes here.
People hate the cops enough as it is.
Let us have a place in society.
Haven't you eaten enough?
By the looks of it,
we probably won't get to run today.
So, let's not.
Are you tired?
Yes.
Keep it up, Sport.
About half of the noodles in your stomach
have already disappeared.
Hang in there.
Hurry.
Hey, you're slacking again.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey.
What's that?
Nothing.
Why would you wear that thing?
What would happen
if you can't breathe and die of shock?
You're being dramatic.
Seriously.
Your mom left you in my care.
I should make sure
nothing happens to you, right?
It's nothing.
Next time,
I won't wear it.
Good.
Tong.
Don't tell my mom, okay?
What century are we living in?
No one would say anything.
Just be whatever you want to be.
Be whatever I want to be,
just be a good person, right?
Just be happy, that's all.
Are you up for it?
Are you?
Did you push me?
Shit!
Jane!
Jane.
Are you hurt?
Are you okay?
Careful.
If it doesnt hurt,
then it's not sprained.
It's good.
You still haven't gotten
to actually run, Piggy.
Wait.
That's not what I meant.
It's
You have BDE, Tong.
Yes, you do have BDE.
What does BDE mean?
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Hey, wait up.
-The cruise!
-What's BDE?
-Let's go look at the cruise.
-Tell me.
Come on.
You didn't wait for me.
Tong, have you ever been on a cruise?
No.
It passes this spot every day.
I never know how far it goes.
One day, we'll get
to ride this cruise, Ann.
How long have we been wondering?
Did you say you wanted to know
where it travels to?
I'd better go.
-Do you know?
-I don't.
-Tong.
-Let us go with you.
-I can't hear you.
-Wait, mister!
-What?
-Wait for me!
Tong, it's leaving.
Let's keep on going.
-Keep on going?
-Yes.
Come on.
So? Is it on its way?
Are you tricking us?
-Or the cruise doesn't come to this point?
-Hey.
You know, I'm not from around here.
Why don't you guys know?
Then should we wait a bit longer?
We've already spent so long chasing it.
It should come soon.
Will it be long?
Hold on.
Are you growing out your mustache?
I'm all grown up now.
You're a man.
Have you two been close
since you were kids?
Well, ever since we were born.
At my home, there's a picture of Ann
taken with me
when I was a baby.
Show-off.
Well
We were both born at the flats.
And we've always been together.
We grew up together.
You must be bored of each other, then.
You're also irritated, right?
We're irritated with you, Tong.
Someone's mad.
Hey, it's here!
It's here.
Come on.
-We're here!
-Tong, wave at them.
No.
-Hurry up!
-Come on, Tong.
Hello!
Louder, Tong, louder!
Hi! What are you eating?
-Can we have some too?
-Can we have some too?
This is awesome.
Right?
Wait for me!
Loser.
You'll trip over again.
Jane.
-Come on.
-What a loser.
Ann.
I'm going to head in first,
not sure if my mom's home with the kids.
Why?
Ann looked really happy today.
You did a great job, Tong.
You like Ann, dont you?
Not that way. Are you crazy?
-We've known each other since we're kids.
-Is that so?
Yes, I don't like her.
-Are you sure?
-Yes!
I don't!
Are you crazy or what?
-If you say so.
-I don't like her that way.
Sure you don't.
There's no need to act cool.
-Okay. You don't.
-Yes, I don't!
This one.
Here.
Right.
-And then
-Ann, can you show me?
Ann.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Do you
Do you like Tong?
Well, I do.
He's kind of cute.
But I won't date a cop.
Good cops are all poor.
I don't want to be like Mom.
Almost done. Just a bit more.
Done. But don't open your eyes just yet.
I said don't open your eyes.
Done. You can open your eyes now.
Let's go to bed.
Ann.
Let's do that.
This.
Who first?
You first.
Your turn.
Jane.
I
I don't really like it
when you're with Tong.
I'm not sure
if I like you in that way.
How do you feel?
I don't know.
I
don't feel anything.
What about you?
Ann.
When we
kiss the person we like
how are we supposed to feel?
I don't know.
You probably wouldn't
even doubt it, I guess.
Like
this is it.
It feels right.
I almost couldn't take
my kids out in time.
There wasn't any warning.
Is this even allowed?
This captain is so rigid.
All the cops at the station
are complaining.
What if we get evicted?
What will we do?
I'm scared.
Ten baht per bag, freshly made and hot!
We serve popcorn.
Ten baht per bag,
with both sweet and salty flavors.
Retail or wholesale, freshly made and hot!
Is there anyone home?
Is there anyone?
I guess no one's home.
They won't kick you out, Ann.
My mom should be able
to put in a word for you.
It worked last time.
Well, last time, my dad just died.
It has been two years already.
They might not let us stay any longer.
But if you really can't,
you can stay with me first.
Your sisters can stay with Nice as well.
It should be fine.
I want to live with Jane.
I want to stay in a room with AC.
Right.
Stay with me,
you'll get to sleep in the AC room.
Wouldn't that be nice, Ann?
Do you want me to be your maid?
How did it go, Mom?
They're letting us stay.
Oom.
I think you should be
on the lookout for other options.
Think of other means as well.
The former captain allowed you to stay.
This one did too.
But one day, if they don't,
what will you do?
Where will you go to?
Jane.
Help me hang the clothes up, will you?
Oh, Jane.
If you know anyone
who wants to learn English,
please refer me to them.
Me!
Of course.
If it's you, I'd give you free lessons.
No, Ann. Go ahead and charge me.
My mom can afford it.
I want to help you out as well.
No way.
But aren't you exhausted enough as it is?
You need to wash and iron clothes.
Will you have any energy left to tutor?
I wonder as well.
Ann.
If you didn't have to worry
about money at all,
what would you want to be?
What kind of work do you want to do?
Things like that.
-If I didn't have to worry about money?
-Yes.
I want to be a flight attendant.
I want to travel the world.
And flight attendants have to be pretty.
You can be one for sure.
Isn't this like
a flight attendant's uniform?
No. That's a bank teller's uniform.
It belongs to Sgt. Oh's wife.
Really?
But if there were a scarf and cap,
it'll do.
Is it okay?
Here.
I only know how to fold boats.
But it does look like a cap, right?
Try saying, "Coffee or tea?"
There, there.
You, of course. I chose you.
Take a picture.
Come on.
Strike a pose.
-How?
-Like this.
Twist your waist too.
One, two, three! There.
With me as well.
Smile. One, two, three.
It suits you, Ann.
So pretty.
Ann.
If you see me on an airplane,
don't forget to take me
straight to first class.
I probably won't have the means
to do so myself.
Of course.
I'll give Miss Jane the best treatment.
Promise?
Promise.
Is it really that good?
Yes.
Tong.
Why don't I ever see you hang out
with the other cops?
Why are you always with us?
Because it's fun hanging out
with you guys.
-Really?
-Yes.
Really?
Why?
Why are you so curious, Piggy?
You keep calling me that.
I'm not that fat, am I?
Hey.
I didn't mean it that way.
How could you not?
See? You just called me that.
This is Piggy.
My kid.
Whenever I see your face, I think of her.
So, I always slip out
calling you her name.
Sorry about that.
Are you that surprised?
So,
where is she now?
Why isn't she living here with you?
She's with her mom.
Her mom has a new family already.
I moved away to give them space.
It's better this way.
Fine then, you can call me that.
I'm not mad anymore.
Really?
In exchange for two popsicles.
Every day.
-Okay?
-Do you really mean it?
Nice, go slowly.
Now, you've got to brake.
-Hit the brakes.
-How?
Gently hit the brakes.
-Hit the brakes!
-Brake!
-I couldn't get the pressure right.
-Nice.
Can I get out of the car?
I don't want to die.
No way! How long have we been friends?
-Are you going to ditch me to die alone?
-Stop it.
Don't talk about stuff like that.
It's not good, you know?
Tong, we're just joking around.
You don't understand us teens.
Can't you pay more attention?
I'm at risk of getting thrown into jail
for letting you drive a police car.
I will have food delivered to you in jail,
-so you won't starve.
-I'll go visit you.
Is he the male lead
of a music video, or what?
What?
Are you mocking me?
It's not nice to mock grown-ups, Nice.
Oh no. I'm a bad kid.
Are you done taking pictures?
Let's continue with my driving lessons.
Actually, Tong,
even if I knew how to drive,
I wouldn't have a car to drive anyway.
But you should still learn to drive.
In case an emergency happens. Right?
If there is an emergency, we have you.
True.
You all, when you grow up,
you will forget all about me.
You're so dramatic. Who'd forget you?
That's what you say now.
Okay, well done, Piggy.
Keep the steering wheel steady.
You're getting the hang of it.
Okay, carefully.
Hey, it's counting down. What do I do?
Stop the car.
Should we stop or just speed off?
Hey, you can't speed off! Stop it now.
Stop!
Officer One, calling Officer Two.
Yes?
Tong farted in the car.
It stinks so much.
Hey, it's not true. I didn't fart.
I can smell it from here.
-Give me that.
-Hey.
-You can't.
-What's this button for?
Don't press it.
You can't play with it.
You should tell yourself that.
Tong.
Hey!
What are you doing?
You've got soft cheeks.
You're quite daring.
Keep your eyes ahead.
-Loser!
-What?
What loser?
-Who really is a loser?
-What are you blabbing about?
Dang.
-You lost!
-Poor you.
Mom.
Mom.
Where have you been?
I was around here.
Iron these two piles.
The customer wants them tomorrow.
I'll put Amy to bed.
Hello, Ann. Are you asleep yet?
Not yet.
What is it, Jane?
Ann. Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are taking me
to go house hunting again.
Do you want to go together?
-Are they buying it?
-Mom wants to.
She might just buy it,
but we won't move in just yet.
I don't want to move.
Like I said,
I'm going to stay here
with you until the very end.
If you have a house,
you'll get your own room, right?
Yes, when you sleep over at my place,
you don't have to worry about Mom.
Sounds good?
Ann.
When you grow up,
finish school and get a job,
buy the house next to mine, okay?
I'll go ask Nice to move as well.
We should all live next to each other.
Well, wait for me
to get a job first, okay?
Flight attendants earn a lot.
You'll be able to buy a house for sure.
You'd better go to sleep, Jane.
You should also go to bed.
Don't let me find out
you snuck in some ironing
and won't go to bed.
Tong.
-I thought you said you don't smoke.
-Hey!
How did you get in there?
We always sneak in here.
The owner is hardly here.
Such a troublemaker.
Let me have a puff.
-No, you're still a kid.
-Come on, please.
If not, I'm going to tell the girls
that you smoke.
Smart-ass.
Here.
Only one puff, okay?
Are you stressed out about something?
Why did you become a cop?
Yes, I wonder too.
As a kid, I was a troublemaker.
I didn't really like to study.
So, my parents told me
to just get a job as a civil servant.
Like how country folks
usually tell their kids.
-It's not what you wanted to be?
-No.
I wanted to be a national athlete.
But I got distracted by girls.
You know,
actually I can just become a cop.
My dad died in the line of duty,
so I'm eligible.
My family isn't allowed
to live here anymore.
But Mom doesn't know where to take us to.
So, we have to keep on asking for favors.
Who knows when we'll be kicked out.
So, I've been thinking
should I just be a cop?
That way, my family can
continue living here.
Don't.
You can be something much better.
Could you teach Earng
how to play badminton?
-She wants to be a badminton player.
-Sure.
But when I told you I was an athlete,
I meant I was a boxer.
Jabs and uppercuts, stuff like that.
Will it work?
Well, I guess.
Damn.
-Tong, move away.
-What?
-Move!
-Is someone coming?
-Yes, move!
-Hey, what are you doing?
Be careful. Hey!
Shush!
Come inside.
The last time you snuck in
by climbing over like this?
Smart.
-You're starting to become a flatster.
-Of course.
You don't want to go home, right?
If there's something you need help with,
let me know.
You don't have to be
the Big Sis Ann all the time.
It's tiring, you know?
It's okay.
Jane.
Go collect 3,000 baht from Tong for me.
And then meet me in front of the station.
Tong.
Yes?
What is it?
I lost my phone.
Maybe I left it here.
-Where did you leave it?
-I don't know.
This one?
Yes.
Do you like it, honey?
Should we take this one?
I think it's too expensive.
And too far as well.
If you don't need such a big house,
just one that's cheaper
and closer to the city,
there are more options.
Only a few of us will be living in it.
Why do you need such a big house?
Well, there are three of us.
We can still stay at the flat
for over ten years.
What's the rush?
Jane also doesnt want to move yet.
Jane, can I borrow your racket?
Ann, could I have the racket?
Ann, did you buy a new racket?
Yes.
Earng broke the old one.
Tong bought it for you, didn't he?
Jane.
I thought you said
you wouldn't date a cop?
Answer me.
Well, he gives me money.
You even dare say it out loud?
Do you even know what love is?
Love is only what people with money have.
What would you know about it?
Your family has everything.
How would someone like me
would dare to love anyone?
What are you rambling on about?
Why don't you come home with Ann anymore?
I'm too lazy to wait around.
Did she really take a taxi?
Does she have that much money now?
Tong probably gave her the money.
Well, they're seeing each other.
Ann and Tong?
What's their age gap?
Isn't Tong 34 or 35?
And Tong
He doesn't have much money.
He even borrowed money from me.
PIGGY
-Piggy.
-Dad.
Where are you? Are you off work?
Do you miss me?
I do. Well, do I?
Yes, I do miss you.
Sweetie.
Your mom sent me a clip of you
taking piano lessons.
You're very good.
Do you like the piano?
If you do, I'll buy you one.
Uncle Nop already bought it for me.
Let me show you.
Really?
That's fine.
I'll pay him back then.
No need, Dad.
Uncle Nop is super rich.
You'd better save the money
so that you can come see me.
Mom told me you never visit me
because you don't have enough money.
Of course I do.
I have a lot as well.
The work I'm doing
is to earn money for you, Piggy.
Mom always says stuff like that.
Don't listen to her.
-Okay?
-Then, can you come see me this Saturday?
I've got to go, Piggy.
Mom asked me to collect the money.
You don't even have money.
And you are still giving it to others?
Ann's family is in need.
I just want to help them.
And why would you help them?
You can't even take care of yourself.
For Ann,
if I can make her life a bit easier,
I'm happy.
When I take care of you,
I am also very happy.
I'm going to smash it now.
Earng, you first. Serve it here.
Come on.
That's it, great.
Ink, you're up.
Catch it.
Serve it to me.
Good.
Ink, catch.
You're not running after it.
Earng.
CRIMINAL CODE
I'll be back.
Hey.
Aren't you going to ask?
Did you leave it here for me to ask?
Fine, I'll ask.
Are you taking the exam for a promotion?
Yes.
Good for you.
Please teach me English, Ms. Ann.
Tong is in the room with Auntie Oom.
Go take care of the money and the wedding.
Then we'll talk.
Ann, come inside and talk with me.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann!
Have you lost it?
Are you satisfied?
Ann!
-Come back right now!
-Mom.
Let me talk to her.
Jane.
Auntie Oom found out about Ann and Tong.
She wants them to get married.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
What are you doing?
Why would you care?
You won't marry him, right?
Why?
Do you really like him that much?
I don't know.
But that's not important.
He isn't good enough for you
to stop your life for him.
Don't you want to leave this place?
You make it sound so easy.
It isn't easy at all!
Ann.
You know,
in my life,
I don't really know anything.
I've never known
what I like or what I want.
But the one thing I know is
that I'm absolutely confident in you.
I know that if there's something
you want to do,
you can do it.
Believe me just once, will you?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Let's go ride that cruise.
Tomorrow.
Bring the kids as well.
I'll take all of you.
Okay?
If you could give me
ten million right now,
I'll live with you.
Ann, can you not leave me?
I'm trying.
But you have to give me
some time, can you?
I can't wait, Tong.
Ann.
You know that I might
be able to make it, right?
Yes, I know.
You know
whether it be 10 million
or 20 million
you'll be able to earn it.
You're going to make it.
I know it.
Mom. Where did you go?
I went to move the car.
Why are you dressed like you went out?
What's with all the questions?
Where are you going now?
Collect my money from Oom.
She's been avoiding me for days.
Don't come!
Stay home.
Ann.
Is your mom home?
She never answers my calls.
She's not home.
Where is she?
I don't know either.
Go get her.
Mom.
Knock again.
Mom. Auntie Nee is here.
Where?
The 200,000 you said
you were going to pay me back.
-Where is it?
-I'm looking for it.
How? Where?
By playing cards like this?
Don't play tricks on me, Oom.
I'll tell the captain about
what you've been doing.
You'll get kicked out.
-Please don't do that, Nee.
-Stop it.
By the end of this month,
you must return the 200,000 to me.
I've noticed Ann's got money to spend now.
-Go get Tong to find it for you.
-Mom.
What's with you?
Why do you need the money so urgently?
You see how they're having problems.
How are they going to return the money?
You really want to know
the reason, right?
Come.
Your dad is living in that house
with his mistress.
Mistress?
Who?
A woman from that gambling den.
He told us he had no money
to buy us the house.
It's because he spent it all
buying this one.
He doesn't want us anymore.
He will leave us in that shitty flats.
Phong, you bastard!
-Bitch!
-Mom!
Come out right now.
One of us must die today.
Mom!
Didn't you think about me?
If you get thrown in jail,
what will happen to me?
Live with your dad.
You hate me anyway!
I don't want that.
I want to live with you.
Jane.
Honey, take your mom back home.
If I go out now, it'll cause a scene.
Let's go back home.
I need to collect all the money
I loaned out
so we can buy a house with it.
We can't stay here anymore, Jane.
Ann, what did you ask the Guardian for?
I can't tell you. It won't come true.
Ann. Hold on.
Sit down first.
Ann.
This is my ring.
My mom gave it to me when I was a kid.
You can sell it.
And return the money to my mom.
I can't take it, Jane.
Ann.
This time, I'm begging you.
Let me help you.
You belong with me.
Don't you ever leave me.
Okay?
Can I borrow 30,000 from you?
Just charge me interest.
My kid is in hospital.
The little one's very sick.
She's been in the ICU for a few days.
-Should I collect Auntie Boom's fee?
-But she still hasn't recovered.
-Sure, it's the end of the month.
-Yes, I'm stressed.
Okay.
-Ink.
-She's my daughter.
-Let's go.
-The treatment costs tens of thousands.
Damn it.
What did Tong say about the money?
I've already broken up with him.
Are you stupid?
Don't you see that I have to beg around
asking people to lend me money?
Have you ever thought of
helping the family out?
And how have I never helped you?
Ever since Dad died,
I've always helped you earn money.
Can't I have a life of my own?
Do you still dare
to only think about yourself?
Did you ever know?
The reason your dad was in debt
was that he used the money on you guys.
Let me tell you,
you should give up your dream
of becoming a flight attendant.
Don't you think I don't know
about your plan to leave us.
You're going to leave me
and your sisters, just like your dad!
Why did you even have me?
If you aren't going to help,
I'll do it my own way.
Hello, this is the police station.
There are people gambling at the flats.
Building 2, room 105.
Could you come and take care of it?
Mom, do you want anything?
No. Look after your sisters.
-Okay.
-When will you get out?
Soon.
They are so damn mean.
They kicked us out like stray dogs.
I don't know what to do.
Are you going to marry Tong
or become a cop?
Think about it.
Or else, we'll all just live out
on the streets.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Ann.
Where are you going?
It'd be nice if the cruise kept moving
and never turned back.
How about we close our eyes?
That way, when it turns back around,
we won't know.
Let's go.
Mom.
Jane.
Do you know how to make edits?
Edit what, Mom?
Can you edit my face onto this picture?
Why?
I want to have a picture with him
when he's smiling.
It won't look real, Mom.
It's fine.
Just do what you can.
Earng. I brought a fan for you.
Thanks, Jane.
Where's Auntie Oom?
I don't know either.
She's probably over
at Auntie Daeng's room.
Here, for you.
Hey, it's fine, Jane.
I don't really play much these days.
I want to give it to you. Just take it.
I usually don't use this one anyway.
Okay.
Come out and play today, okay?
As a final hurrah for me.
I don't think I can, Jane.
I have to iron the clothes
and deliver them today.
Can I have that?
This one?
DOG SHIT COURWhen they come to repaint,
don't let them cover it up.
I don't think it'll be possible.
Let's take a picture.
Sure.
Hey, hold on.
Hurry.
-My turn.
-Sure.
JANE, NICE, INK, AMY, EARNG, TONG, ANN
Tong, let's go.
It's your turn to be on the lookout
and I'll take the bet, okay?
This number is not in service
at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello, Ann.
It's Jane.
I don't know
if you'll get to hear this.
But I still want to tell you.
Tomorrow,
I'll be moving out of the flat.
My parents divorced.
Without you here,
moving out
doesn't seem as hard as I thought.
That day,
we asked the Guardian for a wish
I guessed
you asked to leave this place, right?
I hope I guessed it right.
Because at least your wish came true.
But do you know
what did I wish for?
I asked for us to be here
together forever.
And why did the Guardian take sides?
He only granted your wish.
That day,
I wished
to wake up and become an adult
who could solve
all the problems of this world.
That way, I'd know how to make
my dad love my mom again.
And I'd know how to ease your pain
so you'd stay with me.
Sounds like a silly wish, doesn't it?
That's why the Guardian didn't grant it.
I miss you, Ann.
I miss you terribly.
Even though
we aren't still together like I wished
I'm glad
to have grown up together with you.
And I'll live my life well.
And I hope one day,
we'll bump into each other on a plane
because you'll have to take me
to sit in first class.
Remember?
ANN
