Perth: The Geylang Massacre

Hey, Hello. No smoking.

No littering.

No spitting.

Cunt!

Get on or get off. Don't waste my time.

Hey, hurry up.

I'm a very simple man.

All I want are the simple things in life.

Somehow, along the way...

my life has become a little too complicated.

See what I mean?

Yet another unnecessary complication to my life.

But I will wait because I have patience.

You're nothing. Nothing.

Cunt...

I am a security supervisor with the shipyards.

We handle the security for shipyards and warehouses.

It's an easy job, really.

I check that the employees are carrying out their duties.

That's where I met Angry Boy Lee.

He was my supervisor then.

What's the matter?

Just some bugger on the bus giving me a hard time.

Harry, look.

If anyone gives you a problem, it's not a small matter.

Tell me, who the fuck is it? I'll go fuck him up.

Hey, it's nothing.

I don't want to make a big deal over a small matter.

I already settled the matter. I taught the bugger his lesson.

- You sure? - Sure, it's nothing.

- Sure? - Sure, it's nothing.

No big deal.

Because I'll take care of it otherwise, OK?

You are a Lee, right?

We take care of our own kind. And I'll take care of you.

Sure. I'm sure, OK?

Fucking hell! Always sleeping!

Did you enjoy the nap?! Motherfucker!

Ouch! That hurts!

I told you not to swear at me.

How many times must I tell you not to swear at me?!

Get up, you cunt!

Why did you swear at me?!

Come here! Come here!

Why can't you be more like Uncle Harry or Muthu?

Don't say that, Boss.

Wait. Wait.

I asked you to replace the fucking lock at container 6.

What have you done?

What have you done?!

Jerked off?

Fuck off!

Pisses me off until my balls change size! Vomit blood!

What's up Boss?

- Come here. - What's up?

I'll stick this up your fucking ass!

That's what's up.

Don't you have work to do? Go to work, stinking cunt!

Motherfucker!

Harry.

Hey, this is a good issue.

Don't get me wrong.

You've always been good to me.

Fuck it. I'll just be honest with you.

The shipyard is downsizing now.

So they want me to retire everybody.

- Really? - Yes.

Our jobs are at stake.

They want some fucking super computer for security.

We'll be replaced by diploma holders.

There's nothing we can do. I give up.

Don't worry. You've been good to me.

Besides, I have plans.

You do?

If you don't, I have a profitable job for you.

Don't worry. I'm okay. I'm migrating to Perth.

It has always been a dream of mine.

Let's call it, 'The Dream of a Simple Man.'

Perth? You've got bigger balls than me, man!

You have to do it. I'm almost 52.

As they say, you have to dare to dream.

It's good to hear that you're quitting.

But like I've said.

If you need anything, anything at all...

just let me know, and I'll be there.

This is where I started.

First mate for 20 years.

Now I'm not even a security guard.

But I've been around the world.

Seen it all.

Europe, France, South America, South Africa...

Cambodia.

Vietnam.

These days, it's very hard to make money in Singapore.

I earn some extra cash at night, driving a cab.

Could you take us to Zouk please?

Are you Singaporean?

Sorry?

You're not from here, right?

Well, no I'm Singaporean...

but I'm living and working in London at the moment.

Why? London, beautiful city.

I was in London many years ago...

when the dollar was still 8 to the pound.

But nowadays, nowhere...

not in Singapore, not even in London.

That's why I'm going to Perth to settle.

Nice place, Perth. I haven't been there.

It's very beautiful.

You know, I'm a simple man. I love nature.

Here in Singapore, it's all city.

Perth is beautiful!

You have the sea. Everything is cheap.

The weather is perfect, not hot like here.

I hear the seafood is cheap, too.

Yes. It's very cheap. Beautiful lobsters.

It's not the same here anymore.

Things are becoming more and more expensive.

I suppose you can't blame the bloody buggers...

in the government about everything.

Still, Singaporeans are becoming too materialistic.

Kill me please, I've got a fucking headache.

Your English is perfect.

Of course! Why not?

I used to work in the merchant navy.

That's how I first got acquainted with Perth.

It's not often that ones gets to meet with nice customers.

It's hard driving all night long. It gets lonely.

Usually, I don't talk to my customers...

but if they want to have a conversation, why not?

After all we are human...

and should have a healthy interest...

about what's happening in the world.

It's only natural, don't you think?

Hey Stephan, what is this piece of shit?

Where the fuck is your Boxster Porsche?

Where are we going?

It only sits 2, you dumb fuck!

To River Valley, then Camden Road.

Hey man, check out that cheap slut!

Pandan leaves mask smells and prevent cockroaches.

Cheap and good.

A parang machete.

Because you never know.

Selvaraja, son of Shiva Kumar Kuttupati.

He is one of my best friends.

He understands me, you see.

We were in the army together. First batch, 1967. Infantry.

He went on to achieve the rank of Master Sergent.

He is a good man, an honest man.

Master Sergent, Selvaraja!

- Hello, Boss. - Hello.

How come... you're early today?

- In a holiday mood already? - Of course!

Hey brother, tea without sugar, and make it a strong cup.

One cup of tea.

Is everything settled yet?

How about our friend, Angry Boy Lee?

I've already made the call. No problem.

We'll visit him at his bar later.

Hopefully, his boss will like us and then we can drive for them.

Good.

I'm sick of driving taxis.

You know what happened the other day?

A drunk foreign cunt vomited all over my back.

When they came to apologize to me...

the bastard's breath stank like a whore's cunt.

Fuck it!

I'm going to Perth, Selva.

If I get this job...

in 6 months, I'll make back the money I need.

Then it's time to call it quits.

I'll run off faster than Francis Seow.

Really?

I'm all set.

Impressive.

Hey man, I must say, I'm really proud of you.

You know something?

It's a good move.

I'm really looking forward to it.

When I get there, I'll get a place and settle down.

Then you must come to visit me.

I'll take you fishing.

How much is the airfare?

It's very cheap.

I know this lady...

who books flights for the Sultan of Brunei's family.

They travel many times. It's very cheap.

Less than $450.

That's cheap!

Almost cheaper than going to Haatyai for the weekend.

I should go there, too.

Then why don't you come down?

The buggers are making life difficult for us here.

We'll go there and live like kings.

Who's there? Jerry Da Costa is there...

Hong is there, Steven is there, Francisco is there.

All your friends are there. You can stay with me first.

Looks like everybody is there.

That's what I mean, I've been telling you this for sometime.
