Post by bunniefuu »

What did you trick her into?

Wanna be the scandal queen

every month, Kaeota?

What were you thinking

secretly auditioning for porn?

Who said you had permission

to use this place?

I haven't gotten my rent,

so no sh**ting.

Without Giant Company's support,

my movie would have folded.

I want the leading lady to be

my company's artist.

If you were me,

would you hold back someone you love,

or would you let her succeed?

PREVIOUSLY

You don't have a contract anymore.

We don't owe each other anything.

Go make your movie.

That's a wrap!

KHWANCHAI SIDON

Welcome to Giant, the empire of singers.

Mr. Nop?

I never thought you'd be

this kind of person.

This is for keeping quiet.

Melodrama.

M SOUND CO., LTD.

You wanted to be the hero,

forcing the heroine to leave you, so you

acted like an as*h*le, so she'd hate you?

It worked, didn't it?

Khwanchai went back to finish her movie.

Hey, Nop, do you know

what a springboard is?

Mm-hmm.

That's exactly what M Sound is.

All our singers moved on

to major companies.

Hey, we're

running a record company brilliantly.

Really?

It wasn't a compliment. The opposite.

He still asked "Really?"

Hey!

What happened?

Khwan, where are you going?

I don't work for M Sound anymore,

so I have to move.

You two, stay here.

Hey!

If you don't stay, we have to go with you.

We're here because of you.

But you and Mr. Nop

aren't mad at each other, right?

No.

But we haven't seen Mr. Nop

since you went back to filming.

Have you seen him at all?

No.

-Go on. Yay!

-Whoo!

Wow, there they go, sis.

Make merits and help others

so you feel better.

Let the bad things

float away with the wind.

It's exactly as Ek said.

Make merits to restore mindfulness.

He was truly a monk's attendant.

Saoek is perfect in every way,

except for one thing. He's poor.

Look what happened

when I dated rich people.

There's nothing bad with that.

And they might make us as rich as them.

But Ek is patient, sis.

Mm. Oh! Someone's coming.

I went to see it with a man.

I like Khwanchai. She's cute.

-Yes, I wanna meet her.

-Why?

I wanna ask her what she eats

to be this good.

Hey, speaking of which,

I heard the leading lady

was originally Kaeota.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I think Kaeota

would have made the movie fail.

-You're so bad.

-Let's make merits.

Huh? Where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

Huh?

Wow. Hey.

It's huge.

Oh.

Giant really is a major record company.

They provide accommodation to singers too.

Yes.

They knew I didn't have

a house in Bangkok,

so Mr. Krit, the owner,

is letting me stay here for now.

Whoa. He's gonna work you

to get his money's worth.

Good. I wanna work every day,

so I can forget.

Forget what?

Forget I used to be unemployed, of course.

Come on, go unpack your things.

Use the rooms down here.

I'll use the one upstairs.

Oh.

-Got it.

-Yes.

The first one gets the better room.

Hey! Oh!

-I'm taking this room! This one's mine!

-This room.

Despite having been abandoned,

the roses are still blooming.

I asked the gardener to take care of them.

My mom loved flowers.

I get wanting to make merit

at multiple temples,

but was it necessary

to come all the way here?

Jeez, it's far from Bangkok,

but it's close to our hometown.

How long has it been

since you were last here?

Jeez, I don't remember.

But to be honest,

this suspension is good.

We have so much free time.

It's good. Now I can

make merit for my parents.

Back in Bangkok,

I can only give alms to monks.

Yes. Let's go.

If being alone kills me, so be it

Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

Forgetting someone might take a long time

That's why I'm alone and suffering

But if being alone kills me, so be it

Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

Forgetting someone might take a long time

That's why I'm alone and suffering

But I won't die from loneliness

I won't die from loneliness

We'll see if I can't forget you

Khwan!

Thank you.

Khwanchai, I love you so much.

Yes, you're good at acting and singing.

Can I take a picture with you?

Yes.

Take it for me.

One, two, three.

Look at her fans. Wow! So cute!

I'm happy for her.

Even since coming to Giant,

Khwanchai has gained more fans.

Don't you agree?

She's prettier too. Look at her.

Her hair, makeup, and style are perfect.

We don't even have to lug

our bags around after her.

We get our salary

just by accompanying her.

We should gloat about this to That.

Yeah.

Now that I think about it,

why have I never come

to this temple during the day?

You went to temples at night

only when there were fairs.

When you snuck out, you either went

to the market or to your wayward friends'.

You have a great memory.

You were bad when you were younger.

Do you remember

when you went to the market

to have your shoes fixed

and you didn't get back in time

to go on stage?

Jeez, sis, enough.

Khun!

Kaeo!

Gee, I thought you wouldn't remember me.

I saw you since you walked in.

What's up, troublemaker?

What's up, hell-raiser?

So what happened?

Why are you sweeping the temple's yard?

I'm a temple liaison.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Sis, do you remember Khun?

He went to my school.

Oh, the one who kept hitting on you

when you were younger?

That was a long time ago.

She used to run from her mom

to get drunk at my place.

Now that she's a famous singer,

she's been MIA.

Jeez, I'm here now.

What happened to you though?

Why are you sweeping leaves here?

I have to help with the fair

to accumulate good deeds.

I'm gonna run

for the SAO office next year.

Funny. I don't believe you.

Buying votes is outdated.

-Right.

-Buying people's hearts?

I mean it. I need faith-based voters.

I've been sweeping since this morning.

I'm sweating like crazy.

What?

You're gonna set up a charity?

Of course. A charity

or a fund of some kind, sis.

I think I want to serve my hometown.

Think about it.

Even Khun is a temple liaison right now.

He's serving the community.

Jeez.

Khun just wants to run for the SAO office.

Even so, sis. I wanna do

something good for a change.

I want to apologize to my mom,

but it must be too late now.

Now, I wanna do things

to make up for what I did to my parents

and

to everyone.

Washing away your sins?

I want to start over.

I really wanna do it, sis.

You're in every newspaper.

Not to mention the magazines.

Look at this one.

Lovely Home.

There are more.

Country Entertainment. Look at it.

Beautiful.

And look at this.

Celebrity Kitchens.

Let me take a look.

What's in Celebrity Kitchens?

Wow!

"Khwanchai's Favorite Dish".

This dish is

lotus stems with steamed mackerel

in coconut soup.

Hey! There's a quote too.

"Love is honesty,

consideration, and loyalty."

At Giant, reporters

don't come for interviews,

but the PR team takes my photos

and send them my answers.

That's good.

Now you can show them to your offspring.

Wait.

When does she have time to make offspring?

She has three or four jobs a day.

As that's the case,

let's find scissors and glue

and make her a scrapbook. Come on.

Hey, I wanna be in these magazines too.

Get a new face.

Ugh.

SOMEONE CLOSE

KHWANCHAI

Hello?

Yeah.

Bring the remaining stuff to Nop's house.

Yeah, okay? Don't take too long.

Thin?

Take whichever room you want.

You can stay in any room.

You gave up the office.

What's next for your company?

Whatever you want.

Nop,

will you have some real food?

If being alone kills me, so be it

Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

Forgetting someone might take a long time

That's why I'm alone and suffering

But if being alone kills me

-I wanna watch.

-Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

-Fine.

-Forgetting someone

Might take a long time

-Have it your way.

-That's why I'm alone

And suffering

But I won't die from loneliness

I won't die from loneliness

We'll see if I can't forget you

-Khwanchai!

-Khwanchai!

Stop pouting.

Now. Come on.

Why are we here?

I don't have any jobs or money.

The longer you're shelved,

the more you have to show up.

Go on.

That's Kaeota. Kaeota!

-Hey, come here!

-Go.

She's pouting.

-Hello.

-Gee,

it's been so long.

Have you been to the office?

I haven't. I've been too lazy.

Too lazy or in love? Hmm?

Even if you are, no one say anything.

This is a safe zone, free of reporters.

Hmm, who's Saoek with?

Oh!

Mr. Saoek came with the new singer.

Arm in arm.

We didn't come together.

We ran into each other up front.

Hello.

Saoek, can the company's artists

drink alcohol?

Don't copy bad behaviors.

Let the veteran singers do them.

This looks suspicious.

Nothing to be suspicious about.

Nothing at all.

The only suspicious ones are you veterans

who lead younger singers astray.

He's scolding us.

Who could be a saint like you, Mr. Saoek?

Right, Nok, Kaeota?

Hello, everyone.

I have an announcement.

In two months,

Country Expo will be held in LA.

The expo includes the Thai Night event

to showcase Thai country music.

I will be sending three of our singers

to perform on Siang Thong's behalf.

Whoever thinks they're ready,

prepare yourself.

That's awesome.

As for who will be going,

Saoek,

as the manager of Artists and Repertoire,

I'll let him decide.

Enjoy the party tonight, everyone.

Thank you very much.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Mr. Saoek must pick

Kaeota to go.

Can he? She's suspended.

Let's drink.

Why did I drive back here?

VACANT OFFICE FOR REN

CALL MR. PHONG

Sir? Where did M Sound go?

Oh, they moved out.

But I don't know to where.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

Mr. Nop?

On our school's behalf,

we'd like to thank Ms. Kaeota

from Siang Thong,

an artist who hasn't only

put our province on the map

but has also made contributions

to our community

as well as given scholarships

and food to our school.

Please welcome

Ms. Kaeota from Siang Thong.

Hello.

Hello, Miss Director,

teachers, students,

and all the parents.

I'm so glad to have an opportunity

to create a fund for school lunches.

So today,

I'm setting up my own fund

in order to contribute

to the school by offering lunches

and scholarships.

Whoo! So lovely!

Sorry, I never take it to heart

Sorry, my heart is unshakable

It's fine because if you do it

The one getting disturbed won't be me

Whoever you want to go on a date with

You can

It won't ever bother me

Do whatever you want

No need to hide

I don't care, I don't mind

It's a tiny matter, my heart is calm

It's insignificant, minuscule

It's a tiny matter

No need to be surprised

I never want to poke my nose into things

It's so pointless

ANNOUNCEMENTS - COUNTRY SINGING CONTEST,

KAEOTA GRANTS SCHOLARSHIPS

Do you want something to eat?

I'll buy you something.

No need. I'll get something

-at a curry and rice shop.

-Hey, gather Kaeota news clips for me.

I have to send them to producers

for image assessment.

You got it.

Ueng?

What image assessment?

Oh, Kaeota has been suspended for a while,

but her news has been good recently.

I think her suspension can be lifted.

Please excuse me.

Gee,

you seem particularly interested

in the news about Kaeota.

She has done good, so I'm happy for her.

Go to your singing lesson.

-I have work.

-Yes.

The Thai Night event in Los Angles

is a gathering of Thailand's

leading country singers

who will perform there.

I heard Siang Thong

will send three artists.

Our company won't be upstaged.

Ekkarat,

Khwanchai,

Waeodao,

Saifon.

Whoever is ready

My quota is three people.

Khwanchai,

is the new house we provided you okay?

It's very comfortable.

You're very kind, Mr. Krit.

You even gave me the car.

Newbies are always pampered.

All right, I won't keep you.

Please focus on your work

and remember:

I'm ready to support

every one of you in every way.

Ton!

What's up, ladies?

For my next concert,

can I get backing tracks with my vocals?

I want to preserve my voice.

What singers want, producers provide.

Just lip-synch well.

You got it.

I wanna hide my voice sometimes.

The audience probably won't know.

Sure.

Please do the same for me, Ton.

I can't possibly belt

every song at every show

like new singers.

I'd ruin my vocal cords.

I'll take my leave, Ton.

Thank you.

What are you writing? You're not busy?

Duh. I wrote this down because I'm busy,

so I can read it and enjoy this moment

when I get to work with an artist

with a schedule this full!

Are you tired, Khwan?

I'm not.

Oh.

But you look stressed.

There are so many singers.

But I never planned

on competing with anyone,

except

It's hard enough competing with yourself.

Don't compete with anyone. Trust me.

Yeah, I totally agree.

They're perfect as they are,

both your movie and your music.

Both of us get to ride on your coattails.

"The school, therefore,

is asking for your contribution."

Sis, can you check

if they're really in need?

If that's the case, send them a donation.

Donated on behalf

of the Phlengphon Donsawan Fund

by Kaeota as usual.

As you wish.

But Kaeo, you've spent a lot already.

It's okay. I can make more.

Mm.

Sis, it's Mr. Rong!

Hello, Mr. Rong?

Are you ready to come back to work?

I am!

Thank you, Mr. Rong.

Sis, I get to perform at Thai Night!

Ah!

You're going to LA? Let me tag along.

You got it.

See? All the good deeds I've done

gave me this reward.

You're right.

From now on, I won't get

in the way of your charity.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

-La-la

-Huh?

Hey.

Why does her voice sound weird?

La-la. La

-Khwan?

-Khwan?

What's wrong? Why are you quiet?

-My throat hurts.

-Huh?

All right, I'll bring you some warm water.

-Come on.

-Wait a sec.

Yes.

I can't possibly belt

every song at every show

like new singers.

I'd ruin my vocal cords.

La-la-la

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Sore throat.

-Coughing.

No coughing, just a sore throat.

Are you coughing up phlegm?

-No.

-Yes.

Uh, how long have you had the symptoms?

-Just now.

-Days ago.

-Jeez!

-Jeez!

Hold on. Calm down.

So which one of you is sick?

-Khwanchai.

-Khwanchai.

Uh, well

We're not allowed to sell you the medicine

because we need to know the symptoms,

how she got sick,

and how long she has been sick.

And ideally, bring the patient here.

Yes.

-Yes. I'm going then. Thanks.

-Yes.

Yes.

Next time, let's get our stories straight.

You weren't listening.

Can I lip-synch tomorrow, Ton?

I kind of lost my voice.

Sure, but if you're going

to the Thai Night press conference,

you can't be sick

Yes.

KHWANCHAI

GIAN

No one can stop the rain from falling

No one can stop the sun from rising

Now that you fell out of love

I must let you go

Even if it makes me weep

I must give you up

Now that I don't have you

I must find a way to go on

I must accept the truth

I wonder about the people

Who have been dumped

If one must live alone

How hard would that be?

If being alone kills me, so be it

Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

Forgetting someone might take a long time

That's why I'm alone and suffering

But if being alone kills me, so be it

Since I can't give you up

I must live with it

Forgetting someone might take a long time

That's why I'm alone and suffering

But I won't die from loneliness

I won't die from loneliness

We'll see if I can't forget you

During the holiday,

please report on Kaeota's activities.

She has just donated

scholarships to poor students

at three schools.

Oh, goodness.

-She's so generous.

-Yes.

But

you do know

these kinds of stories don't sell.

People prefer reading up

on celebrities' love lives

or scandals. Do you have that?

For example,

A is having an affair with B

who's dating C. Something like that.

That sells.

I don't.

All Kaeota has been doing recently

is doing good.

She's been participating

in charitable activities.

I rejoice in her merit, but

she hasn't had many shows,

unlike her sister.

Khwanchai, you mean?

Yes, but that one seems

to be taking on too many jobs.

She performs almost every day.

Last I saw her, I suspect

she probably lost her voice.

She lip-synched almost the entire show.

Not just one show.

Whenever I attend her shows for work,

Khwanchai loses her voice.

If she wasn't signed by a major company,

I would have asked her in an article,

"Why don't you get

your vocal cords healed?"

Jeez.

Is it really that bad?

Why am I wasting my time wondering, right?

I'll wait and ask her directly.

Anyway,

thank you for the coffee.

As for this story,

I'll take care of it. Please excuse me.

Yes, please.

-Thank you. Please don't forget.

-Bye.

-I got you.

-Thank you.

Kaeota, I have some new gossip.

Very interesting story.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

-I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry.

Kaeota.

What's wrong with you? Are you sick?

Are you so free that

you run into other people for fun?

I'm not. I'm here

to get a medical certificate.

I'm applying for a visa

to attend Thai Night in the US.

Hey, with a voice like that,

you won't be able to attend the event.

You think that stealing my film role

and leaving Mr. Nop for a major company

means that you defeated me?

I didn't leave Mr

Wait a minute.

With your voice like that,

you'll need a lot of rest.

Just keep lip-synching on stage.

If you want anything from LA,

let me know. I'll see to it.

We're still sisters.

By the way,

prepare for my upcoming good news

that will totally upstage you.

Is Kaeota really going to Thai Night?

That's what she said.

And she made fun of me

for losing my voice.

I shouldn't have gone to the hospital.

Seeing a doctor

got you the right medication.

Ignore Kaeota.

Thanks. Yes.

Mr. Jak, the reporter, called.

He wanted to interview you,

but I denied the request.

He wanted to ask more

about Kaeota getting

the Dutiful Child award.

She set up the Phlengphon Donsawan Fund

to give scholarships

on your father's behalf.

Doing good on her father's behalf.

She is such a liar!

Dutiful child?

"KAETA" TO RECIEVE 2007's

"DUTIFUL CHILD" AWARD

Mom!

Dutiful child?

I'm gonna unmask Kaeota's dutifulness

for the world to see.

Watch me.

PRESS CONFERENCE - KAEOTA

SAIFON - EKKARA

Hello, everyone here and at home.

As you know, we're going to announce

the Thai country singers

who will perform at Thai Night.

This year,

two major record companies

are joining forces

to perform on a global stage.

But what are these companies?

Let's find out together.

Are you ready?

-Yes!

-Yes!

Oh, okay, I'm ready too. The first artist,

Miss Waeodao Sakaofa!

Miss Saifon Nakhonsi from Giant!

Beautiful! Gorgeous!

All right, the next artist,

Mr. Ekkarat Kaennakhon.

EKKARA

The first three are artists from Giant.

Gee, it's a shame Khwanchai Sidon

isn't going with them this year.

All right, I won't beat around the bush.

There are three more singers

from Siang Thong.

The first one, Chonli Chonlada.

Miss Suda Salawin.

And the last one,

Miss Kaeota Sidon

AKA Kaeota from Siang Thong.

KAEOTA

And these are the six artists

who will perform at the Thai Night event

in Los Angeles.

I heard

Miss Kaeota has just received

the Dutiful Child award.

Congratulations.

You're amazing.

Hold on!

Kaeota, is it true that six years ago,

your actions led

to your mother's death in a fire?

-Please answer.

-Is that true?

-Please answer.

-Is that true?

Is it true you k*lled your mother?

-Please answer.

-Is that true?

Get down here.

Mom!

Kaeota, please answer. Is it true or not?

I ran away,

but this damned thing

is still coming after me.

I miss you very much, Mom.

Please root for me, Mom.

It's time for her to pay for her sins.

No need to do anything.

The only thing I want you to remember

is that everything changes.

Mr. Mahannop will take over

from Mr. Rong as president.

Welcome, sir.
