Is this him?
He's handsome, isn't he?
Make yourself at home.
Thank you. I feel at home wherever I go.
You should get to know each other.
I need to use the toilet. I'll be back.
Sure.
How long have you been together?
Almost a year. Since we were in LA.
You know, Sunshine asked me out.
I thought I should tell you
in case you think I'm trying to steal her from you.
Sunshine isn't mine.
That's good to hear,
because she's mine now.
What are you guys talking about?
Nothing.
We were just talking about how I like to collect things.
What kinds of things?
Maybe he has a thing for liars.
Come on, Shane.
I told you the truth.
Why are you having a go at me?
Why didn't you tell me from the start
that you had a boyfriend since you were in LA?
I didn't want to hurt you.
I know the effect I have on guys.
Every guy I dump nearly dies from the pain.
I have to break it to them slowly.
Thank you, Sunshine.
Let me be honest.
That's good. Men should say what's on their mind.
You can do better than him.
What? Fuck you!
Stop!
I'm glad you have someone to look after you.
Thank you, Shane.
Austin is perfect.
Especially when it comes to...
Stop.
I don't want to hear about that.
That's not what I meant.
However,
don't take it personally when I say this.
Austin is a better cook than you.
That can't be.
What's your best dish?
I like to make
pineapple baked rice.
How basic.
Don't judge him like that.
I've tried his food.
It's amazing.
Are you still mad at me?
That's not the problem.
The problem is how you're letting him cook for me.
It's hurting my pride.
If we were playing soccer, this would be a home defeat.
Calm down, Shane.
I want you to try his pineapple baked rice.
It tastes great.
Pineapple baked rice?
My mom makes the best pineapple baked rice.
You want me to believe that...
What's your name again?
Austin.
He's so pretentious using an English name.
Is Shane a Thai name?
Do you expect me to believe that Austin
makes better pineapple baked rice than Chef Taew?
Come on. It won't hurt you to try.
While we wait,
you can tell us about your mom's pineapple baked rice.
I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about it in front of a stranger.
Please tell me.
I love your mother's stories.
I want to know what happens to Chef Taew next.
How do you know about it?
Sunshine keeps me up to date with the stories every night.
What? Her stories are interesting. How can I not share them with him?
She's right. They are good stories.
Sunshine
is a great storyteller.
I really appreciate having her by my side.
This is awesome.
They kissed in front of me and now they want me to talk about my mother.
You know, you are doing the exact same thing my mother did.
What do you mean?
My mother was alone for the first time.
Neither Jom nor Pol
was in her life.
How are you feeling, Taew?
Are you tired?
Five, four, three, two, one.
My mom said it was the loneliest time
of her life.
I wish you nothing but happiness.
Keng.
Yes. What's up?
How can you stand it?
Stand what?
Well,
being alone.
You have no kids, no husband, no one at all.
Let me tell you.
Guys line up
just to see me.
Do they come to ask you out?
No, they come to borrow money.
I know
that without money, no one would be interested in me.
That's why I don't let anyone know how rich I am.
My life is uncomplicated.
How do you do it?
In the past,
I used to be in love with this man.
Everything was great with him in my life.
But one day, he was gone
and I lost the will to live.
How did you get through it?
Well, he died.
I had no choice but to move on.
What about you?
You can't stand being alone, can you?
Neither of my men died.
I still miss both of them.
You're such a hussy.
If you miss them, you should go and see one of them.
I can't decide which one.
What?
Go to the one you miss the most.
Sometimes, I miss Pol in the morning
and Jom in the afternoon.
It keeps switching like that.
I really am a hussy.
Have you only just realized that?
Listen.
I'll tell you what I do.
When I can't decide between two things,
I have a way to deal with it.
Keng told my mother to find a notebook.
Whenever she thought of one of them,
she was told to write his name down
POL
so she could see
which of them she missed the most.
JOM
POL
JOM
POL
Damn it.
Why is it a tie?
I'll deduct one point from him then.
Are you serious?
Yes, why not?
To be honest,
I didn't expect you to choose him.
I'm a bit disappointed.
You seem very disappointed.
Well, it's your problem.
Wait.
Do you know
where to find him?
No.
But I know someone who does.
Hello. Welcome.
Would you like a specific hairdresser?
No, I'm not here to have my hair cut.
I'm here to see the owner.
Wait a moment.
Someone's here to see you.
Did she say what her name was?
Her name is Taew.
Have a seat.
What makes you think I know where Pol is?
Even if I did,
do you think I would tell you?
Are you still not over him?
I am.
Don't lie to me.
Even I still think about him a lot.
However, Pol made the right choice when he chose you.
If he hadn't chosen you,
I wouldn't have met him.
I might be just his mistress,
but he loves me more than his other mistresses.
That is enough for a woman like me.
Don't underestimate yourself.
You're better than me.
At least, you know what you want.
You are so annoying.
I've known that I couldn't compete with you
since I first met you.
Pol likes talented people,
and you are very talented.
Look at you now.
You are in magazines and on TV.
You know, everyone wants to try your food.
I even go around
telling people that you're my friend.
I never thought
that I would be proud of knowing you.
Thank you so much.
That's great.
They used to fight over a guy.
In the end,
they became friends.
We might be in love with the same woman
but we can be friends.
Sunshine, I think we should sort out this love triangle.
Why should we?
I'm waiting for you to sort out your mother's relationship
and tell me who your father is.
I'm sorry.
I can't be friends with you now.
Please continue cooking.
I'll cook mine for you to try after.
Hang on.
Your mother went to see Pol.
Does that mean she chose him?
Do you think so?
You're doing it again.
I'm pretty sure she chose him.
If two men are equally good,
a girl will choose the better-looking man.
Does that mean you will choose me?
Do you think so?
I don't know where he is.
All I know is where he used to live.
Back then, did you know
that Pol was married and had a kid?
Listen, Taew.
If you keep thinking about these things,
you will never be happy.
SWEET PINEAPPLES TWO BAHT EACH
Would you like some sweet pineapples?
Excuse me. Do you know the way to this place?
Would you like some pineapples?
No, thank you. I'm just a bit lost.
I can't remember the way.
I haven't sold a single pineapple. I have a headache.
I'll take five pineapples, then.
Five pineapples?
All right. Carry on down this road for around ten kilometers,
then turn right, and when you see the T-intersection, you are there.
You suddenly remembered the way there.
Excuse me.
Which way is this district?
- You don't know? - I can't see.
Can you take a step back?
Further.
- Step back? - A bit further.
Are you that farsighted?
I thought I was just farsighted.
It turns out I'm partially blind, so I can't see.
By the way, which district are you heading to again?
I'm visiting a friend in Suan Phueng.
That's quite far away.
Just follow this road and you'll get there.
- Do you mean this one? - Yes.
Thank you.
Wait.
Who are you visiting in Suan Ta-ueng again?
Hey.
She's gone.
Darn it.
What am I doing here alone?
SUAN TA-UENG
Oh, my god.
Are you a ghost?
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to get to Suan Phueng,
but I somehow ended up here at Suan Ta-ueng.
I see.
You can come with me.
I'm actually making a delivery in Suan Phueng.
Thank you.
Wow, is this how you do things here?
Hello, welcome to Pol's Kitchen.
For how many people?
Just one.
Please wait a moment. Our tables are all taken right now.
We have snacks and drinks to serve you while you wait.
Would you like some?
No, thank you.
Are you the owner's daughter?
Yes.
I'm practicing being a maître d'.
My dad says I can't do it,
so I'm trying to prove him wrong.
Someone like her can't work at Samran Kitchen.
Wait.
What did you say?
I said Samran Kitchen wouldn't hire someone like you.
The same old line.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Where's your mother?
My dad told me
if anyone asks about my mom,
I should tell them that my parents are divorced.
My dad is single.
He's free to date anyone.
Did he say that?
I added the last part myself.
Do you want to date my dad?
Is he really single?
I'm trying to set him up with someone,
but he keeps saying that he can't forget this woman.
Who is she?
I've never seen her,
but he says
she's small and beautiful with big eyes.
His heart races when she smiles.
Have you seen her before?
I'm not sure whether he was daydreaming.
Was he talking about a human or an angel?
I think he was talking about an angel.
Do you know this woman he can't forget?
No, I don't.
I have to go.
Am I a stranger to you now?
I thought you were in the kitchen.
I went out to buy some palm sugar.
Why did you come to see me here?
I want to know too. What business do you have with my dad?
You had better have a good answer.
A rainbow?
Yes.
- I see. - It's white,
green, and...
What are you girls talking about?
Is she Taew, the woman you said could cook better than you?
Did I say that?
Yes, especially when it comes to pineapple baked rice.
You suck at that.
Okay.
You're exaggerating.
You really said that, though.
He talks about you all the time.
This crispy rice noodle recipe
is the best in the world.
I'm sure you will love it.
Really?
Yes.
And do you know
who introduced it to me?
I can guess.
My dad can cook many delicious dishes,
but he can't seem to get my favorite dish quite right.
Pineapple baked rice.
My daughter
is the fussiest person in the world.
I love pineapple baked rice.
It won't be easy to win me over with it.
You know,
even world-renowned gourmets loved the food
that your dad and I cooked together.
Peppers.
It must be hot.
How is it?
Is it as good as I said it would be?
It tastes a lot better than yours.
You don't have to say it again. I already know that.
Please visit and cook for me again.
Sure.
Can you live with us so I can have it every day?
Baby!
We can ask her all we want,
but I'm not sure she wants to live with us.
Am I right?
Aren't you still single
because you've been waiting for her?
I didn't say that.
You did.
Not.
- You did. - Not.
You did.
"You did" and "not" together make up the phrase "you did not."
Fine, you win.
I may have said it before,
but that doesn't mean
that it's still true, does it?
Have you ever asked her before?
You're a man. You should be brave and go for it.
You're right.
All right then.
Let's get to the point.
Why did you come
to see me?
I'm wondering the same. Why are you here?
I came here today
to tell you three things.
The first thing is
I want to thank you for leaving.
It made me realize
which of you two I truly missed.
Is it my dad?
I'm sorry.
I missed Jom.
No.
Baby...
What's the second thing?
- What? - What?
Are you feeling better already?
I'm okay with it.
If you wanted to be with my dad,
you would have done it a long time ago,
and my dad wouldn't be here with me to get over his heartbreak.
Let's get to the second thing.
The second thing is
I want you to be Jom's best man at our wedding.
You have no shame.
Did you just insult me?
No.
I admire you
for being brave enough to say what's on your mind.
If you were half as brave as Taew,
she would've been my new mom by now.
Come here, baby.
All right.
I'll do it for you.
I'll go too.
What's the third thing?
The third thing is
I want you to help me find the groom.
Jom misunderstood me.
Now I can't find him anywhere.
I don't know where he is either,
but I'm sure
he won't be far away.
He wouldn't have gone far.
What do you mean?
Jom is the sort of guy
who will always be around to help you
when you are in trouble.
Where's Pol?
Did you not find him?
I have a question,
but you must promise that you won't lie to me.
Just ask your question.
Promise me first.
No.
How can I do that?
What if you ask me how many men I've slept with?
I'll be embarrassed.
No one cares
if someone your age has slept with a hundred men.
I've never slept with anyone.
That's not my business.
Just don't lie to me, all right?
Fine.
What's your question?
You know how
Jom never really went away in the past, right?
He's still around here, isn't he?
Here you go.
Enjoy your meal.
Oh, no.
Why are you so surprised to see me?
I...
By the way,
where's Taew?
Oh, she went to work.
Today is her day off.
That's right, I got it wrong.
She went to the market.
She already went this morning.
She said she forgot to buy fish.
She bought fish this morning.
Wait, maybe she said shrimp.
She still has some left.
Oh, my god!
She went to see Pol!
Are you happy now?
I lied for your sake.
I hope you're happy now.
What?
Here.
I'm not hungry.
Take it to that table for me.
I already quit.
Then why are you still sitting here?
You won't leave, but you won't stay either.
Taew is probably a madam in the countryside by now.
How hard was that?
You have to move on eventually.
Where am I supposed to go from here?
You can serve food for me.
A crazy guy like you
can't do much more than that.
Thank you.
Where will you go?
Somewhere I can forget about Taew.
I don't know where that is, though.
Thank you.
But...
I don't know.
I haven't seen him.
See?
You're lying, aren't you? It's so obvious.
You know where he is, don't you?
Where is he?
I don't know.
You aren't going to tell me, are you?
Let's see how long you can keep this up.
If you don't tell me, I'll tell everyone
that you're still a virgin.
Go ahead.
Look for him if you don't believe me.
He's not here.
He's at home.
Jom.
Stop being so stubborn. Come out.
Jom.
If you come out now,
I have a present for you.
You finally showed yourself, Jom.
- No! - Give it to me.
- No, give it back. - Let go. I said, let go!
Help!
Give it back!
Hey!
Jom, why aren't you here to save me?
Wait here.
I'll get your bag.
Give me the bag.
Here you go.
Everything is in there.
Feel free to check.
Why aren't you putting up a fight?
That girl paid me to rob her.
She said a hero would appear.
Here.
I had to do this to lure you out.
Were you waiting for me to die?
Are you that mad at me?
You don't want to look at me anymore, do you?
You can go if you want.
You don't have to watch my back.
I can take care of myself.
But, before you go,
I have something to give you.
Will you marry...
Jom?
Jom!
Jom?
Jom!
I'm sorry.
Garlands, anyone?
- Jom! - Eggs for sale.
- Jom! - New and fresh eggs.
Garlands for sale.
- Do you hear me? I'm sorry! - Garlands.
Jom.
Please come back. I'm sorry.
If you're still here, please listen to me.
I love you.
The whole time you were gone,
you were the only one on my mind.
I know I let you down.
I'm sorry.
Please come back and marry me.
I can't live without you, Jom.
Jom!
Are you listening? Come out already!
Jom!
She's doing this for you.
Please come out!
Jom!
Where are you? Please come out!
Don't you feel sorry for her?
Jom!
Can you hear her?
Your girlfriend is on her knees begging for you. Please come out.
Miss, what's your name?
Taew.
Jom, can you hear me?
Please come out and talk to Taew!
Jom!
I'll try the radio.
Zero, zero, over.
Does anyone know a guy named Jom?
Tell him to come and talk to his wife.
She's crying in the street.
Over and out.
Where was he?
Is this Jom?
Is it?
Jom.
Taew.
Please forget about me.
Don't you love me anymore?
It's not that I don't love you.
I just can't bear to love you anymore.
Which is better?
I can't choose between them.
Why not?
One is already taken,
while the other isn't real.
Wait.
What do you mean?
- Well... - She means
you deceived her, so now it's her turn.
I'm just a part of her plan.
So,
Austin and you...
We're not dating.
I wish we were, though.
I wish for that every day.
Won't you change your mind?
I won't.
Why did you do this?
I'll speak for her.
She wants to tell you that she has moved on.
When will you move on?
What...
Move on from what?
You love Kelly.
Why do you want to be with me?
