Love and Run (มิสเตอร์ดื้อ กันท่าเหรียญทอง)

My name is Lin. I grew up outside of the city.

I like studying, reading manga, and I have a dream.

I want a boyfriend just like the girls in the comic.

Someone sweet and romantic...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Someone manly wouldn't be bad, either.

Lin, are you okay?

I'm okay.

There are just three of us in our family.

NGOR POCHANA

My brother-in-law, Kieng.

He makes amazing Raad Na and owns his own restaurant.

He's very kind but very blunt.

Kieng! One Pad See Ew, please.

Do you know what my secret ingredients are?

-What? -First, an ass.

What?

-Second, wine. -Seriously?

Ass and wine. A swine.

So it's pork.

I won't eat just because of that joke.

The second member is someone who always troubles me.

His name is Due, Kieng's son.

He's technically my nephew.

His dream is to become a runner on the national team,

but what I don't understand is

why he always finds a way to interrupt my love life.

Hey!

Due!

Who is that?

When I asked him why,

he told me to consider him my bodyguard.

Look at that. Nice skin. Very pretty.

Shit!

Who did that?

He not only has a problem with me, but also his dad.

Why do you run so much?

Shouldn't you be studying?

Listen. If you can't get into engineering or medicine,

-I will stop paying for your schooling. -Really, Dad? Medicine?

My GPA is only 1.4.

Then I have a plan for you.

You take over my restaurant.

I'll give you my recipes, everything.

-That's the plan. -No, it's not.

Due!

Come on, arguing again?

I'm not arguing with him. I'm teaching him a lesson.

Come on. You've got a packed restaurant waiting. Let's go now.

How did you get this one?

I tripped during the race.

You tripped and still won a gold medal.

You are pretty good.

Hell, yeah.

Funny though...

Dad never said that.

What's so funny?

You're the only one with an accent around here.

Is it ever going to go away? Country boy.

Because of his stubbornness, he decided to run away from home.

He got a sports scholarship and went to college in Bangkok,

without having to ask his dad to support him.

4 YEARS LATER

I got into nursing school,

and now work as a physical therapist in Bangkok as well.

All right, we have a try-out today.

Today's highlight, my honored guests,

is Due, our reigning champion, also known as Mr. Due, the Speed.

Ready.

Another rising star to watch out for is a newbie, Mr. Game.

We shouldn't underestimate him.

Because if we did, we probably wouldn't see him.

-Smart and strong. -Set.

Is Game going to beat our reigning champion?

Here we go, everyone!

Look at them go.

Due is in the lead. He's in first place.

Game's right on his heels.

Now he's passing Due!

Due is now in fourth place.

Still in fourth.

He's fifth now.

Still in fifth.

What the hell?

Son of a bitch, he lost!

Shit! I bet a lot of money on him.

LOVE AND RUN

There.

Did your mother-in-law cook like this?

I follow every detail of her recipe.

I even learned how she would breathe while cooking.

How did she breathe?

She inhaled, then exhaled.

-Sounds familiar. -Sure.

Is this what you made Due do?

Do everything the same as you.

Now he's run away, and we have no idea where he's gone.

You can work here full-time and earn more money.

The reason I dropped out was to get back on my feet.

-Yeah. -Nonsense.

I wouldn't have hired you if you weren't related to my wife. You know?

-I'm here because of a family connection? -Not me, right?

You both are just the same.

You ate all of this?

Shit!

Well, you're late.

What the hell is wrong with you?

It's delicious.

What's up?

Stay still.

Damn, she's so pretty!

So many places to eat here. I've never been here before.

Should have come here long ago.

What the hell is wrong with you?

That's my aunt.

Seriously?

Seriously.

-Why don't you go say hi? -That's crazy!

If she sees me, she will tell my dad. He will drag me home.

Let's go.

I'm gonna get something before we head out.

Sure.

Lin!

Do you still read these mangas?

Why not? It's fun.

Look, this one's Silly Girl's Last Love.

It's my favorite book since its last issue.

I especially love the last scene when she had no one left,

standing alone in a field of purple flowers.

Then the guy came out of nowhere and embraced her.

He said, "You are not alone."

I believe I will meet a guy like this one day.

How can you still daydream?

Don't good guys only exist in novels?

There might not be many, but I believe they do exist.

PHYSICAL THERAPY BUILDING TWO

Hi, Mr. Man, back again? What brings you here today?

You know, musician's life.

I play at Ratchada at 9:00, Ratchavipa at 10:00, 11:00 at Ratchayo.

Then after midnight at Bucalo.

I actually had to go to Bangklo this morning, but my body said no.

Why do I need to know this?

Patient information. For your benefit.

Not really, sir. Please get your blood pressure checked.

My shoulder hurts,

so I'd like some physical therapy.

The same nurse, please.

Lin.

Lin is working with another patient right now.

I happen to be free. I can do it.

For someone like me, you can't.

-When will Lin be free? -I'm not sure.

I feel like you're not really cooperating with me.

You do?

-Nurse. -Yes?

It's sucking me in!

It got tighter!

-Nurse! -What are we gonna do?

Nurse! Help! Nurse!

-Who are you calling? -Nurse!

-Who the hell are you then? -Shit, that's me.

Calm down. Please stay still.

What is this thing?

It's to check your blood pressure.

Mr. Man...

MEEN PROMMONTREE

Are you done here?

Can you do me now?

I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now.

Perfect.

Can I give you a ride like last time?

What about your shoulder?

It still hurts,

but I don't care about my shoulder...

I care more about my heart.

Does he know what he looks like?

Please wait for me here. I'm gonna get my stuff.

Lin, what the hell is this?

Why are you letting this silly-faced guy follow you around?

Don't you know how to say no?

I already said no, but he keeps persisting.

But you let him go out with you anyway.

It's not like we go out together. He just follows me around.
