[bunniefuu]

Hey.

Let's go!

-Now?

-No, tomorrow!

Come on, the driver's waiting.

It's Jakarta.

Soon, you'll be famous.

Come on.

-Ladies and gentlemen!

-Let's go!

-Inul is going to be a singer!

-Inul's going to Jakarta!

The locals have to continuously

give their support to Inul.

Inul! Inul!

Yes. So that she can be a famous singer.

Inul!

INUL, DONT FORGET YOUR HOMETOWN

Yes, Mr. Village Head.

Wait!

Be quiet!

We've got an official trying to talk.

Oh, yeah.

Go on, sir.

Praise be to God, this morning

we gather together here

to bid farewell to our dangdut singer.

Inul is going to Jakarta.

THIS LAND IS IN DISPUTE

Miss Inul.

Miss Inul!

We've arrived!

-We're here?

-This is the place.

As per the destination point.

What about you, mister?

Where's your destination?

It's two cities back.

This lady here

fell asleep on my shoulder though.

I felt too bad to wake her, sorry.

THIS LAND IS IN DISPUTE

-Going to work?

-Yeah.

Well, Dad,

my friends and I want to watch

the Popcorn concert.

Can I?

Hold on.

Do you need my permission

to watch a concert or to buy popcorn?

Which one?

Oh, my handsome brother-in-law

The famous Mr. Adam,

the friend of Hotman Paris!

You don't know Popcorn?

Popcorn is

corn heated microwave until it goes pop!

You can find it in theaters.

Not that type of popcorn, Daddy.

My Popcorn is a K-pop star.

Yeesh! All right, it's K-pop.

Do you see my nose as a meatball,

poking it like that?

-Do you think it's a lollipop?

-Hush!

So what do you say, Dad? I can go, right?

Because you went to the Rolling Stone

concert last month, right?

And

my point is,

I think you need to have a priority scale.

In six months, you'll have

your school's field trip to Bali.

So, you should know better

which is more important.

A field trip or having fun?

You're so not cool.

What's with the crowd here?

Some political party distributing shirts?

What's wrong with you, miss?

I'm looking for a producer.

Oh, I recognize this.

Looks like you were cheated, weren't you?

I'll tell you what.

It happens all the time here.

I think around 20 people were scammed.

-Really?

-Yeah. It's bad.

So, be careful.

People couldn't care less

about sin anymore nowadays.

My gosh!

Anyway.

I think your life's going to be

drifting aimlessly.

Okay, here's what we'll do.

If you need anything, just contact me.

Call me if you need anything.

Call that number.

Call me, instead of firefighters, okay?

Wait.

What now?

Are you really a producer?

You don't believe me?

Just so you know, even cats kiss my hand

when they pass me by.

Believe me, I'm a producer.

You know Elvy Sukaesih?

Happy Asmara?

-Ayu Ting Ting?

-Yes.

Who do you think

the producer of those guys is?

You?

No, I'm just asking you.

But you asked me instead.

Just don't worry, okay?

Anyway.

Can you sing?

-Sure. I'm good at it.

-Okay. Let me hear it.

Hey, people

Ladies and gentlemen

Everyone gathered here

Some people say

Dangdut without dancing

Is like veggies without salt

No flavor, no taste

Excellent!

You have a high voice.

How many meters high? Or is it hectares?

-Hectares are for measuring land.

-What's it called then?

-Pitch.

-Right! Pitch!

Pardon me, but I just love to joke.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

I'm going to give you 50 million.

You just have to add 25 million to it.

Listen, I don't mean anything by it.

It's just an investment for me.

Because I care a lot

about your beautiful voice.

Your crisp and pretty voice.

You don't need to worry about it, okay?

Don't ask to live in a condo

or go clubbing either.

It'll be a hassle for me

because you have so little money

-and I even provided you with that.

-Okay.

So, just pray hard until the sky trembles.

But I want an agreement made

in a law office.

-I mean the contract.

-Yeah. Come on.

Afternoon, Ari.

Afternoon, Mas Adam.

We're going to several places today.

First, to Mr. Rampunjadi's place.

I also have a meeting with a musician.

Ahmad Dodi.

He's got a case that needs my help.

Oh, one more thing.

We may not finish all the activities

until late at night

because there's another client

from Bandung I need to meet.

Okay.

-You got all that?

-Sure.

-Excuse me.

-Yes?

Could you repeat that?

Never mind, just drive.

I'll tell you on the way.

So complicated.

Come on.

They're inside. Just come in.

They're here?

-Yes. The room's over there.

-All right.

Greetings!

Balki, Balki, Balki.

I told you, Balki.

If anyone asks for donations like this,

they can do it from outside the fence.

Don't let them come inside.

Besides, I donated yesterday.

Do you want me to donate every day?

Do you think I'm

the Minister of Social Affairs?

This guy rejects money, huh?

He thinks we're begging for donations.

I can buy your entire office floor.

I can buy your office,

even if it has three floors.

I think this is the wrong place.

-Let's go.

-All right, let's find another law office.

Okay.

Hey, mister! Ma'am, wait!

Balki, Balki!

How could you? These are honorable guests!

Why don't you welcome them?

You let them wait outside.

What if they catch cold?

I apologize, sir and ma'am.

Right. Instant change

at the sound of "money"!

Those blinking eyes of yours

are like ambulance lights.

-I'm done with you.

-Wait, sir!

Balki, Balki!

Serve food and drinks

for our guests of honor.

I'm not thirsty.

I already drank three wells.

Now, can I come in or not?

Sure. Please, come in.

Forget about the food and drinks.

That'll cost a lot.

Okay. Come here.

-You serious?

-Of course!

-Sure.

-I'm sorry, ma'am.

You got a cool face

but your hearing doesn't match it.

Please come into my office.

This is my law office. Please.

Please, have a seat, sir.

This is a legitimate law office.

Dodi and Partner. Yes?

All right, miss.

How I can help with your legal case?

Well

I'd like to make a working contract

with this gentleman here.

Okay, no problem.

As a famous lawyer,

that's exactly what I do.

Tidying up already?

Hey, why are you cleaning the desk?

Sorry. She's just like that.

Yesterday, she cleaned a person

with a messed up face.

-Thank God I'm not messy.

-Yeah.

It just annoys me

when I see a mess like this.

It makes my hands itchy.

I see. Okay.

So, what kind of agreement

would you like to make?

An employment contract.

Yes, a contract.

Relax, slow down.

I have an employee, Adam.

He'll prepare the papers, okay?

Why should I wait for Adam?

Is he going to do

the Maghrib prayer "adam"?

-You mean "adzan"!

-Yes, exactly.

Why wait for him?

I am a lawyer.

I have an employee who does the typing

as I instruct him, okay?

Miss, by the way,

since you've neatened these up,

can you please put them

inside the cabinet?

You're willing, right?

Sure. I can do that willingly.

Hey, she might be willing,

but I feel pity for her.

She is my star, you know.

And you're giving her orders?

But she's got no problem with it.

Who the heck is this guy anyway?

He's so fussy!

He's my producer!

-Your producer?

-Yes!

You don't believe that?

I'm a producer, not a protein.

I thought you were a clown.

Ari.

Still want to be like me?

Of course.

You're my idol.

Excuse me.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

Don't you have any desire

to grow a mustache?

I don't think so.

Seems like a hassle

to keep a mustache like you.

When drinking coffee,

the mustache gets chocolate in it.

Rice gets stuck as well.

Really?

That only happens in the early stages.

I've never experienced any of that.

Yes, hello?

What?

Okay, I'll just turn around now.

Ari, we're heading back to the office.

There's a famous artist and producer

who have come to my office.

They need legal consultation.

So, just get us back now.

Miss Inul, how about

we do some action sequences now?

Like they do in those movies.

We'll go to an ATM and grab 50 million

and you can give me my 25 million share.

What do you say?

Sorry.

It's not that I refuse, but

I'll enter into the joint venture

after the contract is completed.

Because I don't want to get scammed again.

Hey.

Are you mute or what?

You're like a flat volleyball.

Here, you'd better do something.

Start making the contract.

Here's my ID card.

I thought it was money.

Money? Work first!

Relax!

My staff is typing it right now.

I'm the boss, the lawyer.

I just need to sign papers.

-Here's our meal.

-Here you go.

Thank you.

Here's our meal.

Please, bon appétit.

A rice box? Seriously?

I always pick a five-star restaurant

when I'm with my artists.

Just take what

you've been given, will you?

Who are they?

My besties.

Uncle, where's daddy?

He's out on business.

Let me have a meal first, okay?

What are you doing?

Selfies. For social media updates.

Why do you need to take selfies?

You're taking so long to just eat it.

All right.

What's wrong, Mr. Smirk?

That goes for you too! Respect your food.

Eat it all.

Lots of people out there

can't get enough food.

Eat it all up!

What a bunch of weird people.

I'm becoming weirder too

just from being here.

Absurd.

The charisma of a lawyer never fails.

Surely this pretty woman is infatuated

and has fallen in love with me.

What is it, Ari?

Your cough isn't better?

Sorry, I forgot something.

You are Mr. Adam?

The brother-in-law of Mr. Dodi,

the lawyer?

Um, yes.

I am Adam, but I am the lawyer, not Dodi.

-Adam.

-Inul.

What is it now?

I want to get to know her too.

I'm just a little confused.

A music producer of your class

who has a company

surely has a legal team of their own.

So, why come to me

just to get a contract sorted?

Yes, I do have a team.

But Ms. Inul here wants it urgently.

So, I looked for the closest law office.

So here I am

since this was the closest law office.

Besides, my lawyer is currently busy

dealing with a tour.

He's currently in Borneo.

I just got back from Kalimalang yesterday.

The roads had such bad traffic jams.

People were singing and rolling

on the ground for four songs straight!

Yes, I understand.

But there's one slight problem.

I'm a bit

Oh, come on.

You don't believe me, do you?

Here, I can show you some papers

and prove myself.

Here, take a look at this.

Right?

Here.

You see? Another one.

What's that?

Oh, sorry.

This is Haji Hussein's rented house.

No idea how it got here.

Here's the down payment for the contract.

Please accept it, sir.

Actually

No problem for me.

Awesome.

Please help me.

This is my chance.

I have given my promise

to the people of my village

that I will become

a famous singer in Jakarta.

Please help me, sir.

This is my dream and

this may be a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity for me.

I sympathize with this pretty one.

Okay. I will help you, all right?

I will help you make that contract.

For that, I will need

Miss Inul's ID card

and also yours, Mr. Komang.

It's Komeng!

Komang I mean Komeng.

Komeng.

"Komang" is a song by Laode. I'm Komeng.

All right.

All right then,

please give us your ID card.

Excuse me, sir.

It's your car. It's

I'll deal with the car later.

For now, please get me ten stamps

a plain large brown envelope

with a strap attached,

and paper glue,

but make sure it's liquid

instead of a glue stick.

Roger that.

A plain large brown map.

With a strap.

Please read the draft first.

No need to do that, Mr. Adam.

I'm a trusting person.

Unlike you with your suspicious

thoughts toward me.

Get it over with. Come on.

Okay, then we just need

to wait for the stamp.

Yes.

So, did you get everything?

I got everything.

Nothing's missing, right?

Of course not.

Ten stamps.

A plain large brown envelope.

With a strap.

Well, this is a surprise.

And

Well, this is the one that puzzled me.

Why?

Why do you need rat glue?

-Rat glue?

-Rat glue?

Just smear it on your face.

Okay, let's do this the old-school way.

There!

Now, sign it.

Smells rotten.

Okay.

It's settled. Now, let me just take that.

Okay.

Here's the rest of the money

I promised to share.

Thank you.

This will be used to find a place for you

and your manager to live. Okay?

You just relax and take it easy.

All you need to do is

Put some makeup on.

Precisely! Smart of you.

Okay, I need to go for a while.

Just for half an hour.

I'll leave my ID card here.

So that everyone can trust me to return.

You know, there's a lot of scams nowadays.

You can find me at that address.

People know Komeng.

Daddy.

No, Princess. You're not watching

the Popcorn concert.

That's final.

Daddy, all my friends have bought tickets.

Hey, you want to watch

the Popcorn concert?

I have a ticket right here.

There.

-Is that for real?

-Most definitely.

See that barcode?

My company's taking care

of their concert too.

I don't only deal with local artists.

I deal with international ones as well.

You can even give me Inter Milan

and I'll take care of them.

Huh.

I got four tickets. You want them?

Dad, this is real!

I can give them to you at half-price.

Something to sell!

Deal! I'll buy all of them.

Here, two million.

Sure. They're all yours.

There's the barcode.

-One ticket for you.

-Yes!

Thanks, Uncle!

-Ms. Inul.

-Yes, sir?

Here, take a look.

Today's hottest news.

Once again, we remind you

to please beware of a scam involving a man

pretending to be a dangdut producer.

This is a sophisticated scam

and the scammer uses various false

identities including "Komeng."

FRAUD UNDER THE GUISE

OF A DANGDUT PRODUCER

Huh, really?

A tour of 20 cities!

Yeah!

But

you need to make a deposit

of ten million first.

Hold on, sir.

He's asking for ten million upfront.

Just give it to him! Think about the tour!

Hello? Okay, I'll comply.

-How can I send it to you?

-You can do it through me.

You can just transfer it, Ms. Inul.

I'll give you my account number

and our office address.

So

where are you heading to now?

I don't know where to go.

Going back home means

I'll be embarrassed more.

Besides, the money from my father

selling his cows is all gone now.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too, Inul.

By the way, have you received the money

I got from selling those cows?

You mean this?

Why are you selling your cows, Dad?

I will earn a lot of money

in Jakarta, Dad.

It's okay, Nul.

That's the only help I can give.

What matters is that

you can achieve your dream.

Make your family proud.

Don't forget to do daily prayers.

Don't do anything

forbidden by our religion.

-Always take care

-Yes, Dad.

As well as having tons of trash,

Jakarta is full of bad people.

Yes, Dad. Thank you, Dad.

I really have no idea where to go.

I don't know anyone in Jakarta.

Step aside, Ari.

Please, move. I want to see Daddy.

-Come on, step aside. Daddy!

-You haven't slept yet?

I'm sorry, sir, but she insisted.

-Hush. Daddy?

-What is it, Maura?

There's an issue with my Popcorn ticket!

Here, look.

I don't get a number for my seat!

It says unregistered.

Stop it! Please, don't say anything

about the tickets, Maura!

We've been duped, Maura.

Ms. Inul.

What graduate degree do you have?

I have a bachelor's degree

in administration.

What do you think

I mean, what if

I offered you a job as my assistant?

What do you say?

Will you accept?

You can work here

while waiting for your chance

to be a dangdut singer.

Do you mean it, sir?

I accept, sir.

But

please don't call me Miss Inul.

Just call me Inul.

Because I'm your employee.

All right.

Then I'd like to request something

from you too.

Don't call me "sir" again.

Just call me "Mas Adam."

Even my driver, Ari,

calls me "mas" instead of "sir."

Okay, sir. I mean, Mas Adam.

Okay then. Starting from tomorrow,

you will be working for me. Okay?

Thank you very much, sir.

Praise be to God.

Oh, what's this?

A phone starting to ring

means another lot of cash coming in.

Yes? Hello, who is this?

Via? Via who? Via toll?

Oh, Via Valentino.

Okay. So, do we have a deal?

The car's moving backward.

No, no.

My hand just slipped. Okay, so

Do we have a deal

with that tour of 100 cities?

What do you say, Miss Pia?

Why am I calling you Miss Pia?

Am I seeing green beans in you?
