BIG FATHER, SMALL FATHER and OTHER STORIES (MEKONG STORIES)

Translation: Trans-Lator TL055

Vu, your dad's ship is here again!

I don't feel like having dinner at night.

- Welcome again. - Hello.

Let me help!

- I'm Huong. - And I'm Mai.

Where are the others?

My brother and Thang went to get something done.

Vu might be up there.

Vu, here's your dad!

He was working on his photos all night. Maybe she's asleep.

Let him sleep! Let!

You and Huong help us a lot, too. I'll stay here for the night, okay?

Good!

Today!

Ms. Phung!

Who's out there?

Wow father.

- He brought Vou a camera. - Commendable.

Well, how lucky is Vu ...

I want Vu to help me tomorrow with bookkeeping. Tell him, please!

Of course.

Then I'll go.

- Mrs Phung! - Yes!

Please accept these cakes. A little country gift.

Let me taste first!

Vu!

Finally, eat some home-made fruit.

Leave it alone. At least we get more!

Do you always leave your dinner late?

He only eats as much as a cat.

Don't cut her too much.

Huong, bring my canvas bag here.

Vu, tell me your picture!

Vu !!!

Damn!

No such model can be found even in Saigon!

Mr. Sau, this is the photo machine!

Super! Even outperform Vu Zenith!

I paid for it in Kappa, a Cambodian.

See if you like what you like. Because if not, I'll get another one.

Was it expensive, Dad?

Such crap costs over two tons of rice!

- What does it cost? - You really don't know, guys?

Are you asking us?

In Saigon we only meet cooked rice.

Even I know it.

Today, the markets are 1.6 million tons of rice.

Freshly harvested rice is 1.2 million.

And I gave her exactly two tons.

Well, then you have a 2.4 million camera in your hand.

I hope my dad comes back to life, and buy me a hawaiian guitar!

If Dad were still alive,

would whip you that you missed school.

You want whipping?

You'll see!

You are a joker, but still have an expensive hobby.

This is nothing. Vu's school

film students also 100 million spend on a single movie.

Are you kidding?

Vu is very lucky with this photography.

If you made a movie, even selling my house wouldn't be enough for it.

But only film students get the Saigon chicks.

Only money has value.

The magpie wants a lot, just can't stand his tail!

Are rural girls not good enough for you anymore?

It depends on. Not all are impenetrable.

A girl like Huong, I think it's just him!

Do you want more?

But I keep my eyes on you!

Huong is an orphan girl.

His life is very difficult. He never demands anything.

If Vu graduated, they are getting married.

What do you say to that?

Sounds good.

Don't ring that girl in vain. Who knows when Vu will graduate!

You go to college, you are not in the army!

Smile!

Take off the lens cap.

- And he is a professional photographer! - Super!

I should be in the middle.

One two Three!

But there's no movie!

You fucked me well!

Take the movie out of Zenithed.

He's upstairs.

I'll buy you a roll of tomorrow.

- You said it! - Just kidding.

Do you have money?

Vu, lend your camera, so I can blink tomorrow at the girls!

Well, I'm leaving.

Definitely hold on to that apple.

Open your mouth, as if you were trying to bite into it!

Pull your lips together.

This is it!

Raise your arms up.

Look here ...

Fuck!

I'll surrender, you won!

In the afternoon spotlight

Behind my boat with the harbor

To the south pull the river tide, like

Desire and love

My darling!

There is such a huge wave away from the coast

I go a long way in how this melody, to the rhythm of my oars

While I run out to sea, to the uninterrupted rhythm of my paddles

It doesn't matter direction, our oars keep the same rhythm

Huge, calm sea, faithful water mirror

Reverberate in a loud voice

Dear sea

Love and desire, Over the distance

This bright afternoon, You dear sea!

That's enough for today! We will try again on May 7th.

Now our district is more likely to pay.

Drink a sip of water.

Even though I was drinking a juice cocktail, yet I have a cracked-pot voice.

Ladies, next time everyone gets 12,000.

Then I forgot. Here is my monthly rent.

If you are tight, keep it. I can wait.

No. Because I just spend it. And then next time I have to double.

For vaccination of dogs: 245 out of 450, throughout the district.

This is 54, 14%.

Insecticide spray: 75 out of 110.

68.18%.

Birdwatching Ring: 86 out of a total of 150.

57.33%.

Male Sterilization: 10 allowed ...

there was none.

Just like last month.

I don't know what to do for male sterilization.

Even if I was trying to bribe someone,

then nobody would.

They are terrified, that everyone is hiding in front of me.

The district will fail its certification,

and I'm in trouble.

Any man can do that?

No, only the one who already has a child.

They get 500,000.

What are they doing?

Not much.

The canister. The doctor binds her the testicular cord of the patient.

It's as fast as chasing a chicken.

No injury, you can go after your business.

No need to cut anything?

Jesus, of course not!

That would be another case.

You don't really have to cut anything.

- Thang, come for dinner! - Yeah.

- Did you wash my shirts? - Yeah.

Did you put all of them in the belting?

What are they like?

Well, they're not very good. Vague.

That's not my fault.

Sure.

You moved in the end.

I didn't even breathe or scratch. And wasn't it good?

No. next time you have to hold on for at least twenty seconds.

You're just wasting my money.

We shall see. I can do this too.

Can I go to the club tonight? I want to take some pictures.

Nothing interesting there.

But maybe still. I'll introduce you to youngster Van.

Who is Van?

One more time.

Two, three ... Every year...

Every year, when summer comes, then my heart breaks

The last syllable was good.

Ninety days full of love

- No. - Go on.

Flower petals on the tulip tree as red as the blood in my heart ...

Do it with a little ear,

but I will teach you.

Oh, thank you, brother!

Sing.

Just don't act!

Let's try it and then we'll see.

Ask the lady what she says.

Please give her a side kick to the girl.

Poor girl!

God be with you, dear friend

Tonight our paths will separate

But I will forever remember everything

If we carry our grief

Long lasting in our lonely dreams

Who wouldn't understand this sadness?

You who really found that flower

You understand this longing

Tomorrow, our roads will separate

The magic of that moment will be lost to us

The farewell ends here

Szomorúságomnál only my cricket is more painful

Will you remember our love somewhere?

The path where we glided as a shadow

In the afternoons, when do we meet?

Wash the water right there under the bridge

Boo ...

Who do I see ?!

Not the last one.

He is.

Vu is like my brother.

Bring me some hot soup.

And an extra bowl.

Tung!

Send me Mait.

We are working!

Vu is still green. Someone should teach me a few things.

You broke my brother's camera.

You know? I thought there was something offside!

I whispered a little better.

I'm sorry.

Let's fuck it!

Cook some pasta soup.

You're not going to school?

I found a camera than what your father brought.

You won't even notice that you broke it.

Zenithem will.

That shitty picture is blurry anyway.

Let's go!

I do not need it. I know you got the raga.

My God, how can she be in such clothing come to a hospital!

Who will be the first?

They'll call you by your name.

Look at this!

Is this your Nokia?

Who did you make it from?

Basque, I could do it if I wanted to.

But I had to buy it that way. Fuck is a situation, huh?

There's my name on the card.

What rich nations I am friends with!

Funny!

I can't believe it!

My riches!

It's on loan.

- We? - Who?

Who is the cattle lender to you?

Ms. Phung, your housewife.

Mrs Phung ?!

That's a fucking woman!

I would bet you had to fuck that woman well

to pull money out of it.

Vu, listen!

I tied my semen line.

I told you.

That money doesn't just fall out of the sky on your stupid head!

You're the stupid, not me!

A thoughtless ipse!

But how could he let you do this? You have no children.

He gave him paper. According to me, I have two children.

In the hospital, I just put down my pants, and the doctor finished it.

Allow 30 minutes. It's like an ant bite.

I raised the 500,000 and I could pull it off.

Then Mrs Phung asked me to look for more guys, of course, without money.

Awful!

I delivered him three more. So he lent $ 2 million, of which Nokia is.

If it's that simple, why don't the other guys do it?

Yeah, why not?

Obviously, it's your kappa voice

and thinning hair already pretty feminine.

But that's not true.

I did it last month and more I always have hair and my voice doesn't mutate.

Is your armpit hairy?

Maybe in the coming months you will be transformed.

Is your voice still deep enough?

Cheers!

I've never seen you use a cellphone. Now you buy raps and turnips.

I didn't buy it for myself.

To my girlfriend so she can blink with her.

Damn! Are you a drunk and even stupid ?!

He has the only cell phone in the factory.

He was completely lost for it.

So I can ring at any time now.

Whenever I want.

We fucked so much last week, that we finally fell asleep,

the tide woke us up. And the phone fell into the water.

I took it back to the store. They looked at it for a week.

And what if you still want a baby?

We love each other quite enough. It's time to have kids.

But we work from vision to blindness.

We only brush a couple of times a night, before we fall asleep.

What if you grow old?

I have no idea. We may be left alone.

Then we will plunge for you, Superman and Superwoman.

Well, I'm a Superman!

Go back to work!

Don't yell there and fuck nonsense!

All right guys, have fun!

I'm going to pass the lollipops!

Buy some candy, ladies.

Help me make purchases, sweetens their lips.

Lollipop, sir?

If it goes like this, damn it all.

Did you sell all of them?

There are still twenty.

Not so bad.

Put the rest on the guys.

They don't even like lollipops.

Just do it.

- I'm tired of it! - That's great!

- You should buy them! - What should I do? I cry?

Bro !!!

Protect my brother!

Vu! This!

Yes it is!

It's cool here.

Hey, we fooled them. Now what?

Tung, why were you attacked with such force?

I owe you two months' money.

Before I did business with Binh Boong, these have made a difference.

Why are you messing with this ips?

These squirrels are dangerous.

How do you keep that money?

I saved, to buy an electric guitar.

I'm in the claws of escorts.

You have your guitar, but they don't let me work.

How are you going to live?

What should I do?

I have no reserves.

You never have enough money.

We need to disappear for a while.

Let's go to my father's house.

- Not a bad idea. - The old man will come out!

Why are you so terribly confused?

Why are you all dressed like that?

We want Vu to take some pictures about the fun kids, dad.

How do you know, that the pictures are for fun?

Dad, Vu comes home so rarely anyway. Let them have pictures of the kids.

They were all dressed up anyway.

Ridiculous. Leave the bullies here,

and go cook something!

Hey guys!

I brought some fish.

Can I help you?

Can you swim if I throw it in the water?

Give it to me!

Who was that?

Let me take it!

You hid it, right?

You told him to throw it in the water?

I didn't throw it!

Who was that? You?

No. He did it.

- Who? - SHE?

No. SHE.

Who did it?

No, it wasn't me.

She's too young for it. It was you, right?

He took it and threw it.

- Where? - From there.

He was.

No, I don't!

Why did you drop that phone?

How many more times do I have to ask?

Uh, kid!

You want that? Want a spanking?

What else are you doing here? Go home!

Your dad is telling you to come eat!

I don't really see it.

Huong! Come remove Vu's spike.

Hey, Thang last night simply disappeared.

Maybe she just got lost in Huong's room, to dry the sweat out of it.

Thang, where are you wandering?

Species?

"Lik" is a rather vague thing.

What's in it?

Is it like your business?

It looks like an eel, but it's darker. You see?

The darker the more is called "lik" like your lik!

- Not the same. - It's a river snake.

How about a river snake?

Here the river snake is called "lik".

No. A whole lot different.

Are you an expert?

Let's drink this.

It's an awful lot of insects around here. How could you have beaten these, Vu?

They are lively up.

Oh, your sensitive skin!

- They only bite my valagam. - Because your armpits are not hairy.

This is true? Now for the first time.

Haven't you heard that your armpit is hairless?

Hairless pussy!

Have another drink!

Hairless armpit ...

it is much harder to find a husband.

When you're done, wash yourself.

Where did it go?

Real host.

Percussion material. You did it?

Dad did it.

Yeah ...

Cook me some distillate, I could sell it in Saigon.

I already bought it.

Eat.

Next time you come to town ...

you tasted foreign cakes.

You'll see, that the girls there are rummaging around.

Don't talk so much. Eat!

You can go for another one.

She's at her own port.

Bottom of this circle.

- Refills. - Crazy!

Not like Vu.

We are each other.

- Drink! - Down with him!

Come on!

Well, this knocked you out ...

Sau is a very good host.

Either way, but before dawn make my son male!

Thang still owes two million. Should we handle it with gloved hands?

If you use my money, it really upsets me. Am I understood?

Come up to me at night, like last time the stuff.

How can you sweat so much ?! Hey ...

Stay as you are now. Don't shower before that!

Sometimes I want to be like you.

Why?

Then I'd love Thang normally.

What's not normal? If you like, go to Thang.

Didn't it hurt for the first time?

It hurts, but it's good. You know.

What was it like for you first, Vu?

But with whom?

Thanggal. Who else?

I want to try it. But I only know if I whip up.

Well then do it neatly!

I would feel miserable afterwards. My self-esteem would fall.

There is a pimple in the corner of your mouth. Printout.

What kind of powder I become,

back to star dust,

as the doom of this dust,

standing in the dazzling sunlight,

what kind of powder I become,

to be just a star powder again,

wonderful ash!

What kind of uninterrupted sound?

Khanh Li!

What kind of dead trees sprout in the primeval forest,

rabbit endless time at the edge of the chasm since the beginning of time.

A lot of doom.

Dots of paint, what a blink of an eye blushes.

Duy Khanh!

What time is it?

If one afternoon, your hair suddenly turned ashy,

dead leaves fall from above,

and one day this is life gives you a meeting of your own destiny.

Okay, play some fun!

Since they broke their leg, Binh Boong went completely wrong.

You still love me. You can silence for up to three hours.

They could have unscrewed his ears, to adore your whining.

You're horrible. You're the only whip.

I sing dirty well, but neither of you likes my voice.

I do.

Bullshit. You're just laughing at my talent.

I cried myself when you sang "My Father's Love".

Binh Boong's eyes too they veiled from that song.

Vu, can I borrow it?

Get one here. I'm the super-egg shopper.

Take a hot photo.

Two, three ...

Do you believe in my sister's talent?

Kid ...

Come!

There! Foreign guests are waiting for you outside!

Do not come in!

I want to change it first.

What are you peeping at here?

What are you doing around here, like some hungry pig ?!

I feel hot.

Want a drink?

Go home, if you don't want to drink anything.

The police closed it our bodega.

Come on, we could go for dinner.

But I don't get it.

What's wrong?

I will wait for you.

When you're done, we can leave. I'm not hungry yet.

I told you I couldn't get it. Do not wait.

Oops, good deep!

Yes, we love it so deeply.

And a beer!

I reward your style!

I think you need fresh air.

Well, you still don't want to give it your debts?

I'll get to you!

I'm gonna fuck you!

I only know that why did Binh Boong get so beat up?

Isn't it too cold?

Can you get me a certificate?

What are you talking about?

You have no children. Of course I can't.

As you did for Cuong.

How do you know this?

But Cuong's case is different. Like mine.

His life is like dust in the wind. What should such a child have?

You have a chance.

You should take your exams, to be somebody.

I'm not that respectable as you think.

It's fucking crazy.

Let's get out of here.

I find another solution to leave Saigon.

Where do you want to make money?

I'll go in first. You see, it's nothing.

I'm going to smoke a cigarette.

Nguyen Dinh Vu.

Place of birth?

Tien Giang.

Are you 25 and have two children?

Is this your first surgery?

Yes.

To be allergic to something?

No.

Don't have an infectious disease?

Don't have an infectious disease?

None.

Did you come with your family?

Alone.

Read carefully, and sign it there.

One day, going through a market

-Filled with childish joy-

I saw every burden of fate

I was thinking: my own life

It has nothing new for me

I'm indifferent to my indifferent life

And sometimes my heart turns to itself

As if she had fallen to her knees at his own wounds

Because a quiet prayer rages within you

Which drives me to the other side

Because a quiet prayer rages within you

Which makes me swoon

to the other shore
