The first 200 lines.
The King has summoned us to the palace? What for?
I don't know what it's for. If you want to know, you'll have to come with me.
We have to go now? Alright then, I'll come with you.
- Will you follow me? - Yes, I will.
If you would be so kind as to follow me to the palace,
we shall bow before the King.
- Do you know where we're at? - Where are we now?
- We have arrived at the city gates. - Oh! We already arrived.
I have been meaning to ask you.
Do you wish to come in with me, or do you want to wait here?
I will wait outside.
You want to wait outside because you're already tired, aren't you?
- Yes, I'm tired from earlier. - It's okay, you go and sit there.
- Why are you coughing? You tired as well? - I'm coughing...
It's fine, I will wait here.
I will go in to see the King.
- Your Highness! I'm back, Your Highness! - Oh! Is that really so?
- Where is the person I asked you to bring? - I invited him, Your Highness.
He demands that you summon him yourself, Your Highness.
I have to summon him myself, Awe?
If I were to summon him, how should I address him?
Oh, that is right. I forgot to mention that before.
Would you be so kind as to wait a bit, Your Highness?
Hey... stand up!
- His Highness wishes to address you. - So?
What is your name?
You said you were my friend!
I've forgotten your name.
My name is "Same As Before"!
- Same As Before? - Yes!
Why didn't you tell me it was Same As Before?
Your Highness! I know his name now, Your Highness.
What's his name? Same As Before.
Call him, Your Highness.
So his name is Same As Before?
That is right, Your Highness. Same As Before.
Should I address him as that?
Just like that, Your Highness. Same As Before.
- If you say so. - Carry on, Your Highness.
Oh dear, Same As Before!
Hey! Come here, you!
What's the matter now?
Why didn't you come in when the King summoned you?
Damn you!
Take this!
It's not Same As Before. Then?
"As Usual."
Why didn't you tell me it was As Usual, you fool.
My bad, Your Highness. That's not his name.
- What is his name then? - It's not Same As Before, Your Highness.
- Then what is his name? - As Usual, Your Highness.
- So his name is As Usual? - Yes indeed, your Highness.
Call him, Your Highness.
Where are you, As Usual?
- It's wrong again! - How is it wrong?
Hey, girl!
You can come and sit here with me.
You'll get a better view of the show.
It is even better if you sit on my lap.
That's my wife!
Hey!
Next time, why don't you stamp "Married" on her forehead.
Are you looking for trouble?
Hey!
If that night hadn't turned out that way,
I wouldn't have left my hometown.
I would have still played in my dad's makyung.
I wouldn't have been here in Kuala Lumpur.
After the incident at the makyung play,
my parents asked me to leave my hometown.
My dad feared I would disgrace his makyung.
I could not play makyung?
How could I go on with my life?
Makyung is me...
my flesh and blood.
Same goes for fighting.
If I were asked to either perform makyung...
or fight...
it'd be no different from a religious ceremony.
I'd feel guilty if I didn't show up.
Awi, my cousin...
invited me to Kuala Lumpur.
He said he was working on a makyung project.
I agreed to it
for the sake of my father,
not because I was running away from what happened that night.
PROSPERITY IN BUSINESS
No!
Here's how it is...
this is my niece, Nancy.
She's been back from studying at a university in Bangkok for a week.
Her major is in Nusantara Traditional Arts.
So, she's back for research on makyung.
By all means, Mr. Jimmy.
It's hard to find youths who're experts in makyung nowadays.
I can guarantee that.
It's better if you think about it through istikhorah prayer first, isn't it?
Is that right, Awi?
Yeah, that's right.
That's good. Good.
Jimmy, they're here.
I have to go
Sure.
Here, the day after tomorrow, do visit. I'll send you the address.
Alright, thank you, Mr. Low.
Okay, thank you.
WELCOME HOME. YOUR RETURN HAS BEEN AWAITED, SHERLY ANG.
Take these.
I won't do it.
Why not?
It's like I'm selling out makyung.
We have to teach everything to others.
Silat that belongs to the Malays.
Now everybody has mastered it.
Even the Dikir Barat, other people have mastered it too.
So, what's left for us?
Let me tell you.
Our people would be mad if others didn't respect our culture,
our art, and were ignorant to it all.
But it's all our fault, Duan.
If we don't teach them,
how will they know our culture, art, and language?
If they learn the art, they'll know it all.
Makyung belongs to the Kelantanese.
Jimmy Ang is Kelantanese. His niece is Kelantanese.
Duan, it's not wrong.
We'd benefit from it too if she mastered it.
Really, have a good think about it.
Just return all that money.
Really? Return it?
No. Take it.
I've taken RM200 for the groceries.
MARKET OPERATION CENTER
Hey!
Run!
Hey!
Damn it! Hey, you can't repossess our car like that!
I was in the repossession business too, you fool!
Don't mess with things here!
- Kelantanese moron! - Hey!
What did you just say?!
Duan!
Who are you?!
- Who are you? - He's my friend, you bastard!
If his name is Mamat,
you curse on Mamat.
Darn it, Mamat! Damn, Mamat!
You don't swear in the name of Kelantan!
I'm from Kelantan! You moron!
Here.
Take it.
Let's go.
Paid, thank you.
Praise be to God.
I'm Pok Su.
Pok Su Ki.
Come on.
Get in.
Why would I?
Just to get to know you.
I saw what you did there.
It was great! Amazing!
Defending our honor.
Get in.
Okay, with conditions.
If I'm safe, bring me back here.
If not, take me to the hospital.
That's what I like. Really!
At Selayang, Kuala Lumpur,
people call me Pok Su Ki "Buah."
I'm Duan.
What a nice name.
Duan is from the Arabic name, Ridhuan.
Ridhuan means sincerity.
Isn't that great?
How long have you been in Kuala Lumpur?
It's my second day here.
No wonder you're mad.
What's your job?
I help my friend sell burgers.
What if I offer you to work for me?
Work with me.
Be my bodyguard.
I'm sorry, Pok Su.
I came to KL for another job.
It's not in my bones to be a bodyguard.
Do you smoke?
No, I don't.
No wonder he's fit and strong. Not a smoker.
Actually, I don't agree with what she does.
I don't like her coming back here.
If you want to meet her, it's better to meet abroad than here.
I'm worried, I'm scared.
Mommy!
Mommy?!
I have lost my child!
I'm right here, Mommy! I'm not lost!
You came back as my niece.
Not my daughter!
I had to admit it!
