Go-Go Sisters (Tháng năm rực rỡ)

My, it's time for school.

-It's so bright! -Quick!

Yes, I'm up.

My!

Come down for breakfast.

Dad will take you to school on his way to work.

It's okay. I'll eat at school.

I'm bored with the same food every day.

Sorry, honey, can I take breakfast to go?

I have an early meeting today.

Here's my gift for your mother.

Please tell her I'm sorry,

that I couldn't make it to the hospital.

Okay.

Honey.

My, take this with you.

Should I? I'll look weird with that.

But street food is dirty.

Mom, I'm off to school.

Thank you.

-Goodbye. -Yes.

On the 17th of November, US President Bill Clinton

and the First lady Hillary will pay an official visit to Vietnam.

This will be the first official visit of the leader of the US to Vietnam.

This is 25 years after the end of the war.

As a great contributor to the normalization

of the relationship with Vietnam

and by removing the economic embargo, this coming visit

of President Bill Clinton promises much potential

for the diplomatic relationship between the two countries,

especially after the bilateral commercial pact was signed in July.

On this visit,

President Bill Clinton will have a meeting with Prime Minister Tran Duc Luong...

Time flies.

My granddaughter was just a little girl then,

now she's in high school.

I heard she even has a boyfriend.

Kids now are very different from us.

Mom, how are you?

-Hello, ma'am. -Here you are.

Hey, Hieu Phuong.

If your mother hadn't told me,

I wouldn't have guessed that you were over 40 years old.

You look just like a 30-year-old.

Oh, what are you bringing today?

You have an awesome son-in-law!

Working on an ocean liner is the best.

My husband just got back from a business trip to Japan.

He got you and the ladies something.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

He is successful and a very nice guy.

He's just away often.

I guess he's too busy to come to see me, huh?

Yes, he has meetings at the port today, Mom.

-It smells like a foreign country. -Right, it does smell imported.

What is this?

A radio?

It's both a radio and a cassette.

Thanh has already put a tape in here.

It uses batteries, so there's no need to plug it in.

There are earphones, too.

When you want to listen to something late at night,

just put on the earphones, you won't bother anybody.

You see, in this modern time,

everything gets smaller, only the kids get bigger.

Yes, that's right.

Honey.

How do I turn it on?

Let me do it for you.

-Wow, a tiny machine but it sounds good! -That's right!

My grandson

also has exactly the same machine, but it's more expensive.

Hoang My Dung.

HOANG MY DUNG

Is anybody here?

Who are you looking for?

Now you speak with a perfect Southern accent, Phuong Phan Ri.

Well, I have to blend in.

What did the doctor say?

Two more months.

Dung.

You are strong.

You'll get through this.

You are Dung, the Big Sister.

Big sister bullshit.

Just a kid's name.

At least talking to you is better than those grumpy old doctors.

Does it hurt a lot?

It's like a thousand needles,

sticking into your body at the same time.

It's cancer.

My hair will slowly fall off.

Get a wig then.

You're still beautiful, Dung.

Everything falls off.

You can't fake all of them.

Phuong.

Yes?

You are still as cute as before.

Nobody uses the word cute for an over 40-year-old woman.

My daughter is in high school now.

I want to be like you.

Hello.

Yes.

I'm in the hospital.

Okay, I'll come home soon.

Yes.

My husband.

He's going on a business trip for two months.

You should go home to your husband.

Dung.

I will come see you often.

What do you want to eat?

I see that you are quite wealthy and happy.

I'm happy for you.

Don't worry about me.

I won't be here long.

Where are you going?

Home.

The doctors gave up.

Dung!

What can I do for you now?

Just seeing you again is very fortunate for me.

Go home. Your husband is waiting.

-Phuong. -What?

I miss them.

Who?

The Wild Horses.

Please remember to take the vitamins and take care of yourself.

Okay.

I still have money.

I know but this is just in case of an emergency.

I gave Phuong My some already.

You take care of yourself too and look after Phuong My.

Teenagers are complicated.

Yes.

Spend more time with your friend.

She needs you now.

I will.

Goodbye.

Mr. Minh, please stop the car,

I want to take a walk.

Oh, sorry.

Hey! Watch where you walk!

Wow!

Cheer up!

-Shit! Pregnant Lan is coming. -Shit, where's my stuff?

Attention, class!

At ease, class!

Who is burying her face on that desk?

She's in the toilet, ma'am.

Well done, Lan Chi.

How can you speak while sleeping?

I'm not sleeping, ma'am.

I'm just taking a quick rest.

You have to exercise a lot to burn off all the fat in your body.

I mean, to burn off all the extra weight on your body.

Anyway,

I want to introduce a newcomer to our class.

Where is the newcomer, ma'am?

Come in, please.

This is Huynh Hai Phuong.

-Ma'am. -Yes?

It's Hieu, not Hai.

This is Huynh Hieu Phuong.

Huynh Hieu Phuong comes from?

Where are you from?

Well, you should just introduce yourself to your classmates, huh?

Hello everybody.

My name is Huynh Hieu Phuong.

I'm 15 years old.

I started school one year earlier than normal.

My parents are from Thai Binh,

then they moved to Quang Binh.

I was born in Phan Ri.

Then I moved here from Phan Ri.

Please support me.

Country girl!

Tuyet Anh, don't say that about your classmate.

Actually, I've never been to those places.

Go sit next to Lan Chi.

The big girl over there.

Yes, ma'am.

All right, today, we will study more about the poet Han Mac Tu.

Open your books.

Who knows about Han Mac Tu?

Why is there a cigarette butt in the class?

-Where, ma'am? -Who smoked in the classroom?

-Where is the butt, ma'am? -There.

This is not a cigarette butt, ma'am.

Then what is it?

This is a cockroach.

Don't be afraid, my baby.

Why is there a cockroach in the class?

-It crawled its way in, ma'am. -Who's on cleaning duty today?

Whoever is on duty today takes the cockroach out.

I'm leaving now but when I come back,

the cockroach has to be gone, okay?

If I still see a cockroach in the class, you all will be punished, okay?

-Yes, ma'am. -Ma'am.
