Dew (ดิว ไปด้วยกันนะ)

Pang Noi, 1996

Before that day, we were the best of friends

You said we should remain as friends

But I had always hoped for something more

And I gave it all away

Stop saying I was too good for you

Is that your reason?

Don't say what you don't mean

If you choose to go, at least tell me the truth

Don't kill me with the words 'too good'

Are you the new kid?

Need a ride?

August, 1996

Umbrella?

It's raining.

Hey!

What are you doing? Put it away!

Hey, I'm sorry.

Like I said, no big deal.

Get to the assembly.

I'll go when you go.

Suit yourself.

I'm Dew, from Class 3.

I'm Pob, Class 5.

Pob.

You can wear this for now.

It's fine.

I can wear it once it's washed.

It's not fine.

Your uniform's not exactly dry.

Trust me.

I said it's okay.

I'll wash it for you.

Now that you gave me your uniform,

are you going to class dressed like this?

Dew.

Are you seriously wearing this to class?

Yeah.

Why?

Just change to your gym clothes

if you don't want Tanom chewing you out in dance class.

Why would he?

This is a uniform for sports.

What kind of sports?

Sports Day.

Ready?

And... go!

One, two, three! One, two!

Cool.

Good morning, students.

I've got an announcement to make.

As nowadays,

AIDS is becoming more common in our Pang Noi,

especially among homosexual men,

the district has asked us to organize a training session

for students who are sexually deviant.

For this, the school has invited psychiatrists and soldiers.

Therefore, I urge sexually deviant students to come and register.

Homeroom teachers and class representatives should help with the screening.

Thank you.

- What's your name? - Tanawat.

The training sessions are very informative.

Psychiatrists and soldiers are here to help you...

Mom?

Mom.

I'm home.

Oh! You're back!

Want some oranges?

Why are you dressed like that?

What about it?

What is that in the back?

My friend's clothes.

- Today I kinda... - I know.

You hitched a ride and you fell.

How did you know?

Everyone knows about that.

You crashed into someone's rice paddy.

And what, you're offering to wash them?

I'm not doing it for you.

I'll do it myself.

You never think about

washing your own clothes.

Unbelievable.

I was responsible for the fall.

I'm not listening.

Mom!

Get up early tomorrow and we go together.

Here's tea.

Pob, where's your uniform?

My friend's got it ruined,

so he offered to wash it for me.

Does he know how to wash clothes?

They may be better at it than you.

Just eat.

Dew, hurry up.

Okay mom.

Dew!

Aren't you going home yet?

Waiting for my mom. She's coming late.

Need a ride?

No, it's fine.

On second thought, I do. Hold on a sec.

Actually, I can't give you a ride.

Then why did you ask in the first place?

Common courtesy.

Asshole!

Sorry.

Here's your uniform from last time.

Are you in a hurry? Hold on a sec.

I'm good.

You?

Going home.

Still don't know how though.

You said your mom's picking you up.

I haven't decided.

Why so serious?

Get off.

Go home.

Quick.

Hurry up!

Move it.

Go, go!

Go home.

Thanks. I'll be going now.

Settle down.

Mr.Tanom is occupied today, so is Ms.Kaew.

So we will have a joint PE class today.

You knew each other, yes?

- Yes. - Okay.

Thanom is not here.

We're going to pair up.

Boys pair up with boys,

and girls with girls,

so as not to violate our traditions.

Ready?

Pair up.

You got a partner yet?

Hi, Pob.

Hi, Dew.

Um...

Got a partner yet?

No.

We'll be dancing Cha Cha Cha.

For those who can dance, do so,

those who can't, watch your friends.

Music!

So you're the girl?

What? No!

Of course I am.

What will it be?

I'm...

I'm a guy dancing as a girl.

Sorry.

It's alright.

Look at me.

Why?

When you look at my face,

and look in the eyes,

you'll catch the rhythm.

Really?

Sorry.

For what?

I brushed the collar too hard.

Now it's all frayed.

Never mind.

By the way, I haven't returned your PE uniform.

It's no big deal. Don't be serious.

Give it back when you're done.

My mom's put it in the bag.

Totally forgot. Sorry for the late return.

February, 1997

Sit down.

Can I lie down?

Guess what's in this picture.

What is that?

I don't know.

There's a whale hidden in the picture.

What?

A whale?

It's really in there.

Do you want me to teach you?

Sure.

Lift your finger.

And focus on it.

Then shift your sight to the picture.

See it now?

Nope.

Still can't see?

So what is it exactly?

There's a prawn hidden in there.

Really?

Tell me,

between here and Chiang Mai,

where do you prefer?

Can't say.

It's more civilized in the city,

more stuff to do.

So you don't like it here?

It's not that I don't like it,

maybe I haven't adjusted well enough.
