"We cannot always find the things we are looking for
But sometimes, when we stop looking...
...those things come looking for us"
Pod!
Mark my words
If you ever get a job in Bangkok...
...you'll wake up the next morning...
...with a tail wagging out of your ass!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
"Pod, a man without a dream"
This is Pod, our hero
Pod is your average country bumpkin...
...the kind of guy we won't waste your time trying to describe
All his life, Pod has made the wrong decisions
For example, when he wants to switch on the fan...
...he'll plug in the iron instead
And when he wants to iron his clothes...
...it's a cinch he'll plug in the fan
Moving to Bangkok was a bad decision too
That's when things really started getting strange
"Citizen Dog"
"Before the sky had turned to blue
Before the sun began to shine
Before the flowers starting blooming
Before sweet dreams set me free
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
Before the stars had filled the sky
Before I knew my life's worth
Before my heart lost faith
Before my final breath ran out
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
In a world that's oh so cold...
"Dog and Helmet Brand Tinned Sardines"
Pod works in a sardine-canning factory
It's his job to cut off the sardine's heads...
...and pack them in cans on a conveyor belt
Everyday, Pod has to work faster and faster
Faster
And faster
He can't believe the citizens of the world...
...could possibly be consuming sardines so fast
Pod has a few compulsive habits
He enjoys tapping his index finger...
...when he's got nothing else to do
And he often feels that the food on other people's plates...
...looks much more mouth-watering than his own
One day, the air-conditioning shuts down
Overcome by the heat, the supervisor accidentally sets...
...the conveyor belt to run at maximum speed
The workers have never been forced to work so fast
Before he realizes what's happened...
...Pod's finger has been sealed in a can...
...packed in crate...
...loaded on a truck...
...and speed off down the Expressway
The truck stops at a market
and the can are put on a shelf
Following his accident, Pod makes daily trips to the market...
...looking for his finger
After a long separation, Pod is finally reunited with his finger
Lucky for him, it still had that nervous habit of tapping...
...when there was nothing else to do
Hey, you wanna get us killed?
What do you mean?
If you don't wanna die, stop poking your finger in my ribs
It tickles!
Shortly thereafter, Pod starts to suspect...
...that the finger he found might not really be his
He's right... Pod's real finger is right over there
No!
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Help! Help! He's trying to steal my finger!
Shameless bastard! Right in broad daylight!
Don't you have one of your own?
"Yod, the finger-buddy"
Yod works at the sardine factory with Pod
Yod believes that...
...while we can't always find the things we're looking for...
...if we'd just stop looking for them...
...they'd probably come looking for us
Like the way Yod's finger came back to him
And how, though they say good friends are hard to find...
...it was Yod's new friend Pod who came looking for him
Look Pod...
...the thing is, somebody's finger ends up in a can every day
The lucky ones manage to get them back, but some never do
Some of them end up with their fingers swapped...
...just like me and you
That's why I've stopped eating canned sardines
I'm afraid I'll eat someone else's finger!
"I've no desire to leave you
Let's stay together forever..."
Pod quits his job
Yod does too. Because he'd never want to swap fingers...
...with anyone other than Pod
Pod gets a new job as a security guard for a large company
Everyday, Pod has to take the elevator to the top floor
Pod gets nervous every time whenever he rides with someone else
Except when he's riding with... Jin
"Jin, a woman chasing her dream"
Jin is a maid at the same company
Jin is different from the other maids
She's obsessed with cleaning...
...and can't stand the sight of the tiniest speck of dirt
Jin has a few compulsive habits of her own
She likes eating fried rice with basil...
...but she always picks out the basil before she eats the rice
She's also got a mania for absolute orderliness
The other maids regard Jin as a misfit...
...carrying that mysterious white book around with her all the time
...even though it's written in a language she doesn't understand...
...and she can't read a single word
Jin got the book when she was still living in the country
It just fell out of the sky one day
From that day on, Jin's life began to change
She believes that the book has chosen her...
...that it wants to tell her something
She's been trying to read it ever since
The white book changed her life so much...
...that Jin decided to move to Bangkok...
...to look for the meaning of the book she can never read
Don't be discouraged, Plub Plueng
The Count doesn't despise you
I'm sure one day he'll see how good you are...
...and you'll find happiness with the Count
During breaks... ...Pod often sees Jin talking to
the characters in romance magazines
The other maids think Jin's a nutcase
"Why did you leave me..."
But Pod sees the other maids
crying for the women on radio soap operas,
just like Jin
They look the way children do when they're talking to their dolls
Love is torment, Plub Plueng...
The difference is that Jin's voice is so lovely...
...and there's a sparkle that comes into her eyes as she reads
And the way she shakes her right leg when she's happy
Everything Jin does seems magical to Pod
You'll be awake all night...
...drinking so much coffee like that
It's true, Pod doesn't sleep that night
But it's not the coffee
Everywhere Pod looks, all he can see is Jin's face
Even his fried rice looks like Jin
Pod dares not eat it, afraid he might be eating Jin alive
Nor does he dare close his eyes...
...afraid he might lose sight of Jin's face
So Pod doesn't eat anything, and he doesn't sleep a wink
The next morning, Pod tries not to look at Dang, his dog
He dreads seeing Jin's face on it
What happened to you? You're as pale as a dead man
That's because I'm dead!
"Kong... motorcycle-taxi ghost!"
Kong tells Pod
about the day it rained so hard...
...that helmets started falling from the sky
Kong was killed on the spot
But because he loved his job so much...
...Kong returned to work...
...unable to leave his beloved motorbike
Looks like it might rain again today
Wait for me. Wait!
That was the day that Pod spoke to Jin for the first time
Though she isn't really much of a talker...
...Jin doesn't mind talking to Pod
Besides, no one else would talk to Jin
Pod decides to tell Jin a story he's never told anyone before
Only special people have tails
Celebrities, singers, politicians, rich people...
...or those who graduated from schools overseas
Only they have tails.
Ordinary folks like you and me
haven't got a chance
But my Grandma warned me that...
...if I ever got a job in Bangkok, I'd surely grow a tail
You haven't grown one yet, have you?
If you think you're going to grow a tail,
you're dreaming
Don't you know what a dream is?
Well, take me for example.
I dream of being able to read this book one day
That's my dream. Though I still can't read this book
...I know that one day my dream will be fulfilled
The day when I'm able to read this book...
then I'll really be a special person
I might even grow a tail like those celebrities
It might be impossible right now
Pod doesn't have a clue what Jin's babbling about
But now he knows there's a difference between people...
...who live for their dreams, and those who live without
"Dreams"? He must have been listening to Jin!
Ridiculous! Dreaming... what nonsense!
If someone told me I had to buy a dream...
...or a story about a gut-sucking ghost...
...I'd stick with the ghost
Why's that?
Back in my village, lots of folks have seen a gut-sucking ghost...
...but who's ever seen a dream?
Only dreamers! Nobody buys that stuff
You can't believe anything that girl says. She's nuts
You see that book she carries around with her?
The other day she went around asking everyone to tell her what was written in it
But nobody knew
She even asked the boss
He just flipped the pages back and forth and shook his head
He's a foreigner and even he couldn't read it!
For those maids,
a country girl carrying a book she couldn't read...
...was just about the oddest thing they'd ever seen
Not too long after that...
...Jin realizes Bangkok isn't just a city of signs and shopping malls
It's got a lot of language schools as well
That's where everyone goes to learn new languages
So Jin goes too
But after a few weeks at the school...
...Jin still hadn't learned the words she wanted to read
Plub Plueng has run away...
Without Plub Plueng, I've lost my will to live
Plub Plueng was the reason I kept believing that one day my life would get better
Now what am I supposed to do?
Hmm. If Plub Plueng is the heroine...
...then the only one who can bring her back...
...is the hero
Count! Count!
Why have you called me here?
"The Count and Plub Plueng"
Pod starts to believe that
maybe gut-sucking ghosts really do exist
The women in the radio operas, too
Maybe dolls really do talk to children
And even though he'd believed that story about the tail...
and he'd seen a lot of weird things since moving to the city...
...he started thinking that Bangkok had its good points too
I'm headed home
so... bye
Jin... wait
Er... You look really nice in your blue dress
Are you nuts?
I wear this blue dress every day.
As if you've never seen it before...
The sight of Jin in blue that day seemed
so captivating to Pod...
...even though it was the only color he'd ever seen her wear
With Jin in that blue maid's uniform...
...Pod felt as if he could gaze at her forever
"I dream of a lady in a blue dress
I cannot sleep,
longing to see that blue dress once again
Who bought that dress for you?
I've fallen for that dress
I long to wash it clean
You're as bright as the stars at night
In that dress as blue as the moon
My heart skips a beat
Might I borrow your blue dress
To keep me warm on cold and lonely nights?
Catching a glimpse of your dress
My heart pounds for days
I'd love to touch it
I promise not to crumple it
And if I do, please take it off
And let me iron it for you..."
Pod has no idea how to express the things he's feeling
Then Yod introduces him to Muay
"Muay, the Emperor's daughter"
Muay is a young Thai-Chinese woman...
...who believes she's a descendant of an Emperor
If she were in China, she'd surely be a princess
But here in Bangkok...
...she gets by as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant
In her slinky Chinese dress...
...Muay is the best-looking waitress they've got
Whenever a customer compliments Muay on her looks...
...she always tells them it's because of her imperial blood
Muay first met Yod on a bus packed
tighter than a tin of sardines
Squeeze in folks!
You heard me...
squeeze on in!
Squeeze on in!
You too, Aunty... squeeze it in!
Squeeze in any tighter and we'll be husband and wife!
That's just what happened to Yod and Muay...
They became husband and wife right there on the bus
From that day on...
...they'd only ride on jam-packed buses...
...just so they could squeeze together again
They began collecting bus tickets as souvenirs
Muay said that the more ticket they had...
...the more they love each other
Pod, why don't you start collecting bus tickets too...
and we'll see who can get the most?
Jin... - Yes?
Shall we take the bus home together?
I can't
I'm allergic to buses
Let's take the Skytrain instead
Pod was disappointed that the Skytrain wasn't as packed as a bus
But he was delighted to take Jin home just the same
He prayed that Jin lived far, far away.
He wanted to spend all day with her
"Before the sky had turned to blue...
Before the sun began to shine
Before the flowers starting blooming
Before sweet dreams set me free
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes..."
I break out in a rash whenever I take the bus
I get it from the Skytrain too, but not as much
Even if I take the Skytrain every day...
...the rashes never clear up
I think...
...I just wasn't born to take a bus
One day... when I have my own car...
...I'd probably feel better
And maybe these crazy rashes will stop tormenting me
They itch like mad
For Pod, Jin was such a fragile creature...
...that those little rashes seem
like barbaric wounds on her arms
Pod began to feel even more like scratching Jin's arms...
...than squeezing together with her on a bus
This is my house
You live here? -Yes
My rent's only 500 baht a month
I wonder if the Count has found Plub Plueng
Would Plub Plueng mind if she knew that my house is so shabby?
If Plub Plueng's really your friend, she won't look down on you
It's getting late, so...
Thanks for taking me home
Pod realizes that the only way to conquer Jin's rashes...
...is to drive her around in a car
But how can he get a car?
The next day Pod resigns from the company...
...and takes a job as a taxi driver
Driving the taxi helps Pod get closer to Jin...
though she's still indifferent to his feelings
But seeing Jin's unblemished arms...
...helps keep Pod's hopes high
"Mam, a girl... or a woman?"
I'm 22 years old why shouldn't I be allowed to smoke?
But most adults treat me like a child
My parents are the worst... cooing at me all the time...
as if I were on 8-year-old
Can you believe that my mom still makes bottles of powdered milk for me?
It's true. Don't believe it?
See?
So, uh, young lady, where would you like to go?
To the mall
And don't call me "young lady." That's so irritating!
While I'm in there, take care of Thongchai for me, okay?
Who'd believe that...
...a cute little Teddy Bear like me would be smoking like a chimney?
Why's this seat so fucking high! Shit!
Sorry to smoke in your car, bro. I can't help myself
After living with Baby Mam for 20 years...
...it's a habit I just can't quit
Are you really going to wait for her? I bet she'll take all day
You'd have time to go home, take a shower...
go bang some hooker, and still be back before she's done
Thongchai tells Pod that...
Baby Mam comes to play computer games at the mall every day
Her favourite is a shoot'em up.
She can't get enough of it
Thongchai says that Mam's house is too quiet
She needs to get out and play computer games every day
She's become addicted to loud noise
But now that Mam's started going out every day...
...her parents have stopped speaking to her
Now she's got no one else to talk to
I'm the only friend she's got
I'm sure Mam's parents mean well
If they're worried about her playing those games with guns...
...it's only because they're afraid
she'll become a violent person
What a load of crap!
They're totally over-reacting!
Baby Mam may like to play bloody video games
But she'd faint on the spot if she ever saw a drop of real blood
What a joke!
Thongchai!
What have I told you about talking behind my back?
Baby Mam, I... uh...
Pod doesn't really understand the relationship between Mam and Thongchai
But he hates seeing a little girl
who doesn't know how old she is...
fighting with her Teddy Bear in the back of his cab
Many times, Mam's dumped Thongchai out on the road
But she always goes back to rescue him
Thongchai!
I'm sorry. I won't leave you again
They're not crying because they've had a fight
They're feeling sorry for themselves for not having other people to talk to
Pod thinks that...
...maybe someone has stolen all of their friends...
...to teach the two of them a lesson...
...about the meaning of love
Tell her you love her, before it's too late
What are you saying?
Tell Jin you love her before it's too late
You never know when it's going to start raining helmets again
Pod agrees with Kong
Not that he needs to buy a helmet...
...but that the time to tell Jin he loves her has finally come
How could two poor people like Pod and Jin get married?
We'd never be able to give our children tails
Dreams either
I couldn't stand that A life without dreams
And I don't want my children to blame me...
for giving them a life without dreams
That would be even crueler than not giving them tails
Pod!
Don't remember me, huh?
Ungrateful little shit!
Moves to Bangkok and forgets all about his Granny
"When I died, they set me on fire
They spread my ashes in the river...
...and catfish gobbled them up
A farmer caught the fish and grilled it up for dinner
His kids stuffed themselves, ate it all but the bones
When they got the runs, they took a dump in the field
Then the rains came down and soaked into the ground
Fertilizing the rice paddies with the run-off of men
Hungry grasshoppers swooped down on the fields
And they ended up in the farmer's net
Tough luck for them, they got fried in a pan
Young people like to eat'um, snacking from a bag
When the geckos saw it, they stuffed themselves too
Oh! The chaos of reincarnation
No one knows how the whole thing began
But when the egg was hatched, you little brat...
...out came your Granny in a brand new form!
And that's the story
Believe me yet?
Grandma?
At last he remembers me
Now, I want you to get these silly thoughts out of your head
I'll be seeing you
Grandma? - What is it now?
Don't worry, I'm not going far
I'll just be catching bugs here in your room
But who knows?
Tomorrow I might be reborn as something else
If I see you again I'll tell you about it
I gotta go now
After turning down Pod's confession of love
Jin meets someone who'll change her life again
"Peter... the activist"
Jin doesn't really know what the foreigner's name is
She calls him Peter...
...because that's the only foreign name she knows
No matter who he is, Jin's sure he's the one...
...who will help her solve the mystery of the white book
"Yesterday in Washington D.C.
Activists staged a protest against the construction of a chemical factory...
claiming that environmental damage would result
The protesters clashed with the police,
leading to multiple arrests..."
Jin becomes convinced that...
...Peter was one of the activists in the news
And that the white book must have something to do with his environmental beliefs
The police probably don't share Peter's beliefs
Neither did Jin's boss
Jin realizes she'll have to be more careful...
and not go around showing the book to just anyone
Take me to The Nameless Island.
Sorry... where to?
The Nameless Island
Don't you know it?
What is this... your first day on the job?
Come on, let's get going
Tik's lost all his memories
except for one: His name... Tik
Tik likes taking taxis
But he can never remember where he wants to go
He just says "Take me The Nameless Island"
All the cabbies just drop him off right
where they picked him up
Tik has a disgusting habit: He likes to lick everything he sees
Pod thinks Tik was once a man who loved sending letters...
but that he once licked a poisonous stamp...
...and it left him an amnesiac
Pod doesn't know where to take Tik...
...so he takes Tik home with him
Soon Pod's room is squeaky clean...
...thanks to Tik's restless tongue
Tik says his licking is a statement of love...
...but Pod doesn't want his face washed that often
Pod, just let me lick you a little bit
Pod takes Tik with him when he goes to work...
...hoping one of his passengers will recognise him
But nobody does
Most of them jump out of the cab after a minute or two
Crazy bastard! Are you descended from dogs or what?
One day, Tik disappears without a trace
"Peter"
"Yesterday in Washington D.C.,
activists staged a protest rally against the building of a new chemical factory..."
Jin sees a report on the news...
...that an activist was shot during a protest
She's not sure,
but she fears that Peter was involved
"Your horoscope this month predicts that...
the movements of Venus and Saturn...
...may have dire consequences for someone dear to you"
Jin becomes convinced that Peter is dead
Though she's sad to think she'll never see him again...
she's glad that knowing about Peter
has taught her something new about life
We can all play a part in saving the world
The Greenhouse Effect has caused rising global temperatures
One day the polar ice-caps will melt and we'll all be drowned
Why is this happening?
Because we overuse plastic bottles, plastic bags...
...foam boxes, and other plastic products
We should all be recycling plastic bottles...
...to reduce the amount of garbage on the planet
Remember, no more plastic!
No more plastic! No more plastic!
"If I were as free as a bird
My wings would carry me far far away
I'd be a white dove
Leading the way to freedom
If I was a cloud in the sky
I'd bring shade to cool the fields
If I were a grain of sand
I'd join other grains to make a paths for the masses
I'd give up my life for the cause..."
We all have to do our part by recycling plastic bags
It's essential that we conserve our environmental resources
We have to give meaning to Peter's death
Peter?
Yes, Peter's spirit can rest easy knowing his cause isn't lost
Pod... pull over!
See, plastic is poisoning the world
Pod contributed to Peter's death when you ordered fried rice in foam boxes...
...and noodles in plastic bags
From now on, I'll never touch plastic again
Luckily, Pod's car isn't made of plastic...
...or Jin might never ride with him again
Pod feels sad knowing that Jin had a lover named Peter...
and he's glad that Peter's already dead
But knowing that Jin hasn't forgotten Peter...
...makes Pod sad all over again
He wonders if suicide might be the answer after all
But he's afraid he'll see his Grandma's face again
Jin, are you OK?
Aren't you going to work today?
I quit that job already
I wanted to have more time to save the world
Peter would be glad...
...knowing someone is taking up where he left off
I'm just sorry I can't save the world all by myself
There's just too many people overusing plastic to stop them all
So where are you going now?
To march in another demonstration
Let me give you a ride
That's okay... I'll walk
It'll help conserve the world's energy supplies
Pod feels Jin drifting away from him
It's like she's living in another world...
...one that Pod knows nothing about
Muay... has gone...
Yod tells Pod that Muay has gone back to China
She decided an emperor's daughter like her...
shouldn't associate with commoners anymore...
...and that she's tired of squeezing onto a crowded buses with Yod
But Yod can't stop thinking about Muay
He starts taking a Chinese language course
Muay!
I... miss... you...
Muay... come... back...
Yod believes that if Muay still loves him...
...she'll hear his cries all the way in china
But will she understand his terrible Chinese accent?
Muay...
"Thongchai's Tragic Tale"
Thongchai tells Pod...
about the mobile phone Baby Mam got as a birthday present
Ever since she's got it, all she does is talk to her phone
Thongchai was abandoned like a worn-out old appliance
Then one day, he was dumped out with the trash
Mam, how could you do this to me?
Thongchai became a homeless Teddy bear
Each night he stares at the sky and dreams of Baby Mam
Did you get my smokes?
Pod tries to help Thongchai to be happy...
...hoping that one day he'll be happy with Jin as well
He's glad to know that at least someone truly loves Mam
Hello?
Hey Pod, take a look at this tree I'm potting
Come on in and have a seat
All the activists have started planting trees
Plants and trees are the only things that
will help us save the world
So, what kind of tree is that?
I'm not really sure, just a tree
But let me show you my favourite tree
It's a Peter Tree
The Peter Tree will help us fight the war against plastic
But Jin, that's just a corn plant
No. It's my Peter Tree
Where are you off to now?
To the demonstration. I go everyday
If I stop going, the world will just sustain more damage
I'm afraid we won't be able to save the world in time
Excuse me, is this Jin's house?
No more plastic! No more plastic!
Jin, Plub Plueng's come back!
Jin, Plub Plueng came back!
See, the Count has brought Plub Plueng back
I've got no time for that nonsense now
I've found my mission in life
Now, I've got to go. I have to catch up with the group
No more plastic! No more plastic!
Now that Jin's stopped riding with him...
...Pod sees no reason to keep driving a taxi
Pod still waits for Jin every day,
but Jin never comes back
The heap of plastic bottles in front of her house...
has become the size of a mountain
Jin... Where are you?
Muay... where are you?
I miss Muay so much
Whenever I run into a group of Chinese tourists...
I ask them to take bus tickets back to Muay,
so she'll know I miss her
I don't think she ever gets them though
There must be a few million Muays in China
What about you, Pod?
I haven't seen Jin for a long time now
She's left home to go to these demonstrations
and never seems to come back
I even don't know where to look for her
It's like I told you before
The more you look for something...
the more hopeless you're likely to feel
But if you stop looking and stay put...
maybe Jin will come looking for you
You little shit! Running after your fucking daddy or what?!
Dad!
Dad, where have you been?
Are you OK?
Let me take you home
Even though he misses Jin so much he can barely stand it...
Pod decides to do what Yod advised
He stays put
And sure enough, he finally sees Jin again
"I think plastic was invented to destroy the environment
But plants are just the opposite.
They're beautiful And they help to keep the world clean
If plants are the heroes...
...plastic is the villain
We must rid the world of plastic!
Thank you
That's a comment from a demonstrator at today's rally against
The march is now moving into Silom Road"
Taxi?
Can't you go any faster?
You asked for it...
No more plastic! No more plastic!
And just at that moment...
...Jin saw the man she'd thought was already dead
No more plastic! No more plastic!
Peter... wait!
I'm so happy you're still alive
Peter, you've changed my life so much
Because of you...
I've joined the cause for building a better world
Whenever I'm desperate about the state of our planet...
...I think about you how much you've sacrificed for your cause
Look at this tree, Peter. I carry it with me everywhere
I've named it the Peter Tree
You're an inspiration to me
I think you've misunderstood
My name's not Peter. It's Andre.
Andre?
Yeah. And this is a... corn plant,
not a "Peter Tree"
Wait!
No more plastic! No more plastic!
You have got a book just like this one, don't you?
Peter, you're the only person I know who can read it...
...and I've waited so long to find out what's written inside
You really want to know?
No more plastic! No more plastic!
Jin!
Jin?
When Peter... or Andre... tells Jin that the white book is
actually a pornographic Italian novel...
...about a homosexual tryst...
...Jin's world comes crashing down
She never mentions the white book again
She stops going out and refuses to speak to anyone
Not even Pod
"What I see is all have
Sometimes real, sometimes false
Sometimes strong, sometimes weak
Sometimes fragrant, sometimes filthy
I have only these two eyes
And all I see is filth and waste
Other people look far and wide
And gaze into the stars
But I just can't see the dazzling lights
Of all those stars so bright
Still I'm happy deep inside
I can see the stars within the filth"
That day, Jin sees the white book again
She thinks it must be looking
for another innocent girl's life to ruin...
...just like it ruined hers
"What I see is all I have
All that's false, all that's true"
I... I want to stay away from you for a while
Jin wants to stay away from Pod for a while
Unable to see Jin...
...Pod decides to go back home for a while
Everything seems to move so slowly there
Pod...
...finally come back home, huh?
His dad says everything just seems slow...
...because Pod's been in Bangkok so long
The clocks in Bangkok run faster than the ones in the country
Pod just needs time to readjust
But days later...
...Pod still feels like the world's moving in slow motion
It's torture
It takes him half a day just to let out
a sigh of longing for Jin
So Pod decides to go back to Bangkok
He wants to tell Jin that it's OK if she doesn't love him...
...but he never wants her to tell him to stay away from her again
He can't stand missing her so much
"Bangkok, City of People with Tails"
Since Pod's been away, Bangkok has changed a lot
Having a tail is no longer considered special
Now everyone in Bangkok's got a tail...
...even if they keep them hidden
So Pod has become special after all...
since he's the only boy in Bangkok...
...who doesn't have a tail
Is that Pod?
Yes, yes. That's him!
Pod! Pod!
Please let me feel your ass
How do you account for your-tail-free status?
"Pod... the man without a tail"
"Though it seems unbelievable...
...there's still a man in Bangkok who doesn't have a tail
According to reports,
the man... Pod... was born tail-less..."
Who's there?
It's me, Yod
So, you're quite the celebrity now
Let me take a good look at you
You haven't changed one bit
Same cheap clothes
Same not-so-handsome face
And you don't even have a tail!
Don't tell me you've grown a tail too
Of course I have
And a long one it is
I have to stuff it way down in my pants
or it'll come waggling out It's completely obscene
Hey Pod, we've been friends for a long time now
Can I ask you a favour?
What is it?
I've forgotten what an ass without a tail even looks like
Would you let me... feel yours?
Are you crazy?
Come on, just once. Nobody will see us
Yod... no! Come on, just a quick grope
No! Knock that off!
Listen. Have you heard anything about Jin?
Jin?
Why, yes. I've heard something...
Want to know what it is?
I'll share it with you...
...if you let me touch your ass a little
Desperate for news about Jin,
Pod grants Yod his wish
Yod tells him that Jin has grown a tail too
She tried to cut it off several times but didn't succeed
Unfortunately for Pod, Yod doesn't know where Jin is...
and Bangkok is too big to just go out and start looking for her
"Every night and every day
Every night and every day
I can make it through lonely nights and days
Because of you
Because of a dream so out of reach
I should have known that those dreams were illusions
Illusions I made for myself
They were the hope that kept me going
Through those nights and days
I could make it through lonely nights and days
Because of you
Because of those sweet dreams
I should have known that those dreams were illusions
Illusions I made for myself..."
Jin!
Pod?
I must have changed a lot so you couldn't recognize me
No...
...In fact, you haven't changed at all
You either
You still look so pretty in your blue dress
No, I've changed a lot... unlike you
You're famous now
Your arms...
No more rashes. They went away when I got my own car
But I'm not really used to it yet
When I've got an itch, there's nothing for me to scratch
Jin, I've been thinking...
...there are too may bad things in life...
...so many sad things...
so many that we become blind to all the good things that we have in our lives
My feelings for you have never changed
Even if you still like to spend hours mopping the floor...
or shaking your leg when you're happy...
...or picking the basil out of your fried rice...
...even if you want to dream...
...or want to have a tail...
...everything you do is still magic for me
And at the very moment...
...Jin feels herself as happy as when she's shaking her leg
But she doesn't need to shake her leg
The happiness she'd been trying to find...
...through having a tail, or a dream...
or learning to read that white book
Really, it's the same feeling...
...that's been with Jin ever since the day she first met Pod
But because she never stopped looking for it...
...she was never able to see that it was already there
But if we get married, you'll grow a tail, and...
and you'll become an ordinary person like the rest of us...
...and our children will have tails, and...
And from that moment on...
Bangkok never saw another person who didn't have a tail
"Six Months Later"
Pod and Jin's happiness together...
finally convinced Yod to forget Muay...
...and give himself another chance
And when they learned that...
there was no one else in the world
they wanted to talk to...
Thongchai and Baby Mam decided to get married too
They continue to talk happily ever after
The Mountain of Plastic has become a popular Bangkok spot
Young lovers come here...
and leave behind plastic bottles as monuments of their love
The Mountain now reaches all the way up to the moon
After marrying Pod, Jin started working in a plastic bottle factory
She was so hard-working
that she was soon promoted to management
But Jin tries hard to be a lousy manager
She wants the factory to lose money...
...so that eventually it will be forced to shout down
She sees her job as the fastest way to save the world
Pod likes to argue that plastic will never disappear from the earth
and that people will keep on ordering fried rice in foam boxes
But he understands that this is Jin's dream...
and he starts having his own dream, too
Let me tell you about my past lives
Once, I was born as a dinosaur
Pod dreams that his dead grandmother...
...after coming back as a gecko...
...was reborn again and again
In her last life, she was a pig...
and she ended up as a plate of pork fried rice that Jin ate before
Now she's somewhere deep inside Jin's womb
See you in three months!
Grandma?
"Before the sky had turned to blue
Before the sun began to shine
Before the flowers starting blooming
Before sweet dreams set me free
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
Before the stars had filled the sky
Before I knew my life's worth
Before my heart lost faith
Before my final breath ran out
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
In a world that's oh so cold..."
My heart and my soul
Belong to you
I promise on my life
That I'll always keep fighting for you
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
My heart was empty
Till you took mercy on me
And gave me strength to carry on"
My heart was hollow
Until your love came in...
...and opened my eyes
"Goodbye"
