The Citizen (ทองพูน โคกโพ ราษฎรเต็มขั้น)

Go.

You're still 650 baht short.

-Please just give me a few more days. -What?

What the hell?

I gave you a lot of time.

A deal is a deal.

Other people need it too, Thongpoon.

Sign here. Here.

Here.

Where did you get the money, Thongpoon?

-Did you steal it? -No, I didn't.

I sold my land in Udon Thani.

I've been saving up the rest little by little for over five years.

You'll be rich soon.

I hope things will get better.

In that case,

it's yours.

They asked me to drop them off at a motel in broad daylight.

There's nothing wrong with that.

You can go there during the day.

They were both men. It's strange.

Poon, come here.

I heard that

you bought a car from the fat bitch, didn't you?

It's the car I was renting.

And you bought it, man?

Buying a car

comes with a lot of commitment.

There's the repair cost

and the registration fee.

Especially now,

taxis are getting stolen.

It's better than driving to death just to pay the rental fee.

If you buy it, it's yours.

I'm glad you think so.

You've always wanted your own taxi, right?

It's my dream.

You know,

there are over five million people in Bangkok.

Half of them are poor people.

And most of them are unemployed.

I know.

There are petty thefts in my neighborhood every day.

It's because people are unemployed.

We are doing our best to help them.

We try to provide income for people in the slums

by organizing dramas, fashion shows,

and all kinds of events.

There are so many. I don't know what to do anymore.

-Hey. -Yes.

Can you pull over at the doctor's office in Siam Square?

-Yes. -I need to buy medicine.

Gosh, I only have a 500 baht bill.

Do you have 50 baht I can borrow?

No, I don't.

I only have 40 baht.

Thanks.

-I'll pay you back. -Okay.

I'm a veteran. Any donation would be appreciated.

I'm a disabled veteran. Any donation would be appreciated.

I hope you win the lottery.

I hope you'll be born beautiful in your next life.

That bitch. Judging from her outfit, I thought she was rich.

I'm a veteran. Any donation would be appreciated.

I lost my legs. Please donate.

I haven't eaten for three days.

I'm a veteran. Any donation would be appreciated.

Please donate to this disabled guy.

-I lost my legs. -What happened to your legs?

Cannons in Vietnam blew them up.

Back then, we were patrolling

up the Trakai Lai Hill,

the Hill of Death.

That's when we ran into them.

We fought for our lives.

We swore to fight with dignity as Thai warriors.

They were heavily armed

with AKs, RPGs, and cannons.

We only had the M16 rifles, that's all.

They ordered the cannons to fire.

My friends and I got blown up

into the sky.

My legs

exploded

and got blown up to pieces.

I was luckier than my friends.

Their whole bodies were torn apart.

They died so I could survive.

-They-- -That's enough.

Two baht, seriously?

It's all I have.

Two baht it is.

Bye.

By the way, you don't need to wait for that lady anymore.

She's gone.

What?

She left through the back door and took another taxi. She's gone.

How do you know?

Oh, please. It's an old trick.

They pretend not to have change

to borrow money from a taxi driver.

They leave through the backdoor

while another taxi driver waits.

Please come back again next time.

-What? -How can you change your mind now?

It's my business.

I said I don't want to. Why are you forcing me?

-I said no. -Chan, please go see the doctor.

-Come on, Chan. -No.

-Taxi! -Wait.

Chan.

Where to?

Phetchaburi Road.

Can I help you with anything?

Do you want to go to the clinic?

I just came from the clinic.

I don't mean to pry.

But talking about it

might make you

feel better.

Sometimes, people need good listeners

to get things off their chest too.

I don't want to talk about it.

I don't need anyone to listen to me.

Turn here.

Don't you have anything smaller? I don't have change.

Keep the change. It's yours.

By the way, pick me up after work at around 11 p.m.

Hey, Mali.

How is it going?

Humnoi, your dad is here.

You just hit me. It hurts.

-Hey, let's go. -Come on.

Dad!

Did you buy me any snacks?

I just got here and you're asking for snacks.

I got something better than snacks. Do you want to see it?

What can be better than snacks? Is it a toy?

No, but it's better than snacks.

-Guess what it is. -What is it?

A car. I bought a car.

My dad bought a car, guys.

He bought a car. We have our own car now.

Take us to the beach.

Wait. Is everyone going?

Of course, Dad.

-Take us for a ride. -Take us for a ride.

Be quiet. Wait. Hold on.

Tell your dad to take us to the beach.

All right. Let's go.

Please take care of the house for me.

Sure.

What's the fuss? You are so noisy.

Where are you going?

-I'm taking the kids on a trip. -A trip to the beach.

Get going already. You're so noisy.

So noisy.

Humnoi, tell your dad to take us to the beach.

Let's go to the beach, Dad.

I can't, Humnoi. I have to go to work.

Let's go for a drive around here.

Please.

I need to pay our rent in two days.

We haven't paid rent for months.

If we don't pay this time, she'll kick us out.

Then we don't have to go far. Let's stay near the neighborhood.

Listen, Humnoi, I have to go to work.

When will we be rich if we keep traveling around?

You have a car. You can drive anywhere you want.

-You're one dreamer, Humnoi. -That's what you told me.

Do you really want to go?

Fine, let's go.

We all have dreams, don't we?

Ain't that right, Humnoi?

Are you leaving, Dad?

I'm off to work, Humnoi.

Dad, the trip was fun.

What a slutty bitch! Come at me if you dare!

-You stupid giant! -Bring it on.

I'm going to slap you to the ground.

Gosh, you concrete blockhead.

How shameless, you fucking whore!

-You love stealing other's regulars. -That's enough.

He is my regular customer.

You liar. You're such a shameless liar.

Watch your mouth, bitch.

If you don't, I'll wash my feet with your blood.

-Bring it on, you shameless whore! -Don't do it, Ramchan.

You stole my customer. Can't you find your own?

-Let me go. I'll slap her in the face. -Don't, Chan.

Bring it on!

-You're shameless. Gosh. -Don't fight with her, Chan.

-There's no need to fight with her. -Get out, damn it!

You're all talk.

Get out!

-Let me slap you, you shameless bitch. -Don't, Ramchan.

When did you get here?

Just now but I saw you were busy.

Let's go home.

You will pay for this, hairless bitch.
