Wash them squeaky clean alright.
I know Dear.
Good tune!
Yeah but I think it still sounds too plain.
Hey Ead Moe! When we finish writing our songs
what do you think about throwing a concert up here?
Hey everyone welcome to our laundry-hanging concert!
You know it! We'll play and hang clothes!
Let's not dream about that now.
We should wait until Note finishes writing our songs are first.
But write simple songs okay?
Don't compose an overture or anything too difficult.
Hey! If it isn't difficult then it isn't THE ROOMMATE band!
Am I right Ead?
Exactly! Because we are…
The Roommate. The best of all possible worlds!
I've told them over and over that for our pub
the band should recruit a hot female singer to reel in more customers.
That's what I've told them as well Maam.
Well then that must mean that 'SOMEONE's the ignorant one around here!
Yes Maam yes Maam. I will tell them again.
Good!
Yes Maam.
We'll see you all tomorrow.
How did we do?
Uh yeah…You totally rocked!?
Hey the owner made herself clear tonight.
You mean about getting a female lead singer?
Yep. If not it could cost us this gig!
But our band is already slammin.
If we bring someone in that doesn't synch with us
then it'll be hard to work.
And what type is she looking for?
Good voice tall attractive Asian light-skinned long-legged & a face of mixed heritage type.
So what is she really looking for? A lead singer or what?!
A perfect wife that can sing is what she wants!
And the type that she wants how're we gonna find her Note?
Sure we can. If not then so be it!
We'll just turn the world inside-out to find her!
Good idea man!
Hey you're gonna go with that?!
What do you mean?
You wanna totally change the key right before the lead guitar plays into the hook? And make it a 3 note key change as well?
You crazy ***! Who does something like that?
Because no one does. It will rock because our band plays it like this!
Uh go on with it then!
Hey the top is stuck.
It's ready ready ready!
What? Again? Don't you know how to cook anything else?
What?! Picky people don't have to eat then!
Eat Eat Eat.
Hey! You going to class or what?
We're late already!
Hey Note Note! You wanna go learn or what?
We're late already!
Hurry it up! I'm not waiting any longer!
Hey hey…wait up wait up. I'll be right down.
Not waiting!
I'm off! Meet you at the internet café this evening. Don't forget!
Hurry it up!
Hurry!
What's the rush?!
When studying the work of Shakespeare
if you students pay close attention
you'll notice with his literature about love
Shakespeare uses the vowel "O" in his characters' names.
For example "Romeo Othello Desdemona Ophelia."
By Shakespeare using the "O" sound in his characters' names
it makes it easier to express sounds of grievance
that convey these various emotions.
For example "Oh…Note!"
Yes Maam.
Why don't you recite a popular passage
from one of Shakespeare's love stories for us to hear now please.
And how does that relate to love?
It conveys the heartbreak and pain that comes with love Maam.
What makes for such a dark and pessimistic outlook?
I would like for you to try & expand your viewpoint on love
and explain to your classmates please.
I believe that human beings were born to be alone
but if they choose to love
they have chosen
to accept the pain & suffering that will come.
For reals though. You believe what you said in class?
Yep.
You've been in love before?
Nope.
Then how would you know?
Shakespeare told me in a dream!
What an ***!
Hey any luck?
Your type is hard to find. Here look at these applicants yourself.
Can't leave the university. I'm being harassed by perverts! Help me!
Sh*t! Gotta take care of something. I'll be back. Keep searching. Catch you later.
Hello….Note?
Hello Pop?
Note
Note
Yeah what's up?
That's a relief. I thought you left your phone somewhere.
Yeah okay. Talk to you later.
Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!
The guitar you were looking at has just come in.
Really?
So you gonna come take a look?
Yeah yeah. I'll catch up with you later. Bye.
What the hell are you looking at?!
Go on! Get lost!
And you four eyes! What're you staring at? Get lost ***!
How many times have I told you not to wear this outfit?!
What a pain!
Why?
You jealous?
No. Just scared you're gonna blind those perverts that's all!
How much?
38000
But if you want it Note
I'll give it to you for only 34000.
Just perfect! Take a look. Only two tables in the house!
How many times have I told you to go and find a lead singer?!
Tomorrow I'm calling it quits with you! Do you hear me?
You've listened to us sing all night
And now we have a request to come up here & jam with us.
Please welcome our special guest who requested the song "Do You See That Distant Sky?"
Come on up and sing with us!
Do you see that distant sky?
I've kept it just for you.
And it will always be this way….MmmmHmmm
On that long and distant road
Exists many real stories of truth
Shades from trees to rest under
To rest in your time of need
Do you see that distant sky?
Do you see the cloud's silhouette?
Or the deep blue ocean sea?
Do you see my love for you?
Do you see that distant sky?
Do you see the cloud's silhouette?
Or the deep blue ocean sea?
Do you see my love for you?
So the voice of Note's ringtone. Who could have known it was you?
Pop and I recorded this song for laughs
when we were in middle school.
Oh yeah why is your band called Roommate?
This question you have to ask her. She's the one who named the band.
The reason we decided on the name Roommate
is because it's like a promise to each other.
Anyone who is going to be Roommates with us has to be someone we know very well.
We have to feel comfortable & be able to share feelings with each other.
But most important we have to live under the same roof
in order to write and compose our best work. And that way we are all one in the same.
Do you want to be our lead singer?
Hey don't force anything on her.
Besides Ann has to go back to school abroad soon.
But if you're interested in becoming Roommates with us
then you'll have to move in with us and help us write songs.
And most importantly you will have to be our lead singer.
Are you interested?
So what about it? She's asking you?
Um let me think about it first.
Can I have a number to call you?
Sure sure sure. I'll take care of it.
Give her our number Ead. Hurry up.
Here. We accept all kinds of gigs anywhere & everywhere.
And on the back are directions to our home office.
So when you've decided just give us a ring asap okay?
I saw you playing keyboard
and thought back to when we were young.
Next time I'll go and see you play again okay?
Up to you Ann.
Thanks.
This is my uncle's hotel.
See ya.
Pop.
What is Ann like?
Is this how the melody goes?
No no. Just wanted to know
if she will join our band or not?
Probably not.
And will she be okay
with joining our band
and coming to live with us too?
What is this?
She won't join our band
because she has to go back to school.
Get over it already!
Where are you off to so early?
I'm off to convince our new band member to join us.
Hand me that will you?
What should I say to convince Ann to join us?
I dunno.
And what if I keep badgering her about it?
Huh…she's not gonna come.
Nobody likes to be badgered especially if you act like that.
get out get out get out get out get out!
Hey Ann.
So you've decided to be Roommates with us right?
Let me help you.
No that's okay.
Pop…
Pop
what should we cook for dinner tonight?
How about our spicy pepper dish?
It's our regular menu for this house.
Pop makes this dish really yummy!
Hey you have this too?
You wanna try making it with this sauce?
No problem sis!
Wow looks good!
This is what you call a new menu!
Lemme taste lemme taste.
Ead stop that. Ann will see your true
hideous self.
Where are your manners you pig!
Let me taste.
Look at you stuffing your face like that. I hope you choke on yourself!
Mmmm…delicious.This is what you call a dish of a chef!
Pop let me try okay?
Whew. Spicy!
Here here. Drink some water Ann.
Pop aren't you gonna eat?
I'll go downstairs to get make you some orange juice.
Hey Ead focus on the barbeque.
These are all burnt.
Why didn't you reply to my email?
Are you upset about something?
No.
What's the matter Pop?
Why don't you talk to me?
We're better off being friends Ann.
What did I do wrong
to make you act this way?
If I did anything wrong
I'm sorry okay?
I'm not leaving until you're like your old self again.
But I'm not the same person anymore.
And everything that happened in the past it's just…
What're you gals doing?
We were just talking about old times.We kind of lost track of time.
Just in time why don't you help Ann bring up the OJ.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
In that case I'll help you squeeze the OJ then.
Shades from trees to rest under
To rest in your time of need
Do you see that distant sky?
You play the guitar pretty well.
I'm okay.
So why do you like this song so much?
It's a heart-warming song.
And the lyrics have meaning.
Or the deep blue ocean sea?
Do you see my love for you?
Love is so grand don't you think?
But…love makes people feel heartbreak and pain.
But it can also make us strong you know.
I've been here for a while now.
I haven't been anywhere yet.
Can you take me somewhere Note?
What?
Is it hard to learn how to ride a motorbike?
If you don't stand on all fours and eat grass
It shouldn't be too difficult to learn.
Then teach me how okay?
Yeah.
Can I learn how in just one day?
Of course!
With respect my Master.
Likewise my Pupil.
Joker go to bed already! It's late.
Fine I'll go.
Go go already. I'll teach you.
Sweet dreams.
So when you want to start the motor
you have to twist the handle here like this.
And this the RPM
The odometer is this red needle here.
This green pedal is to shift gears by your feet.
And this orange light is the signal light.
So when you want to turn you….
Whoa whoa. Enough already!
I'm here to learn how to ride
Not fix a car. I get it already!
So I twist the handle like this right?
yes.
Try starting it
Twist real hard….There you go!
And when you want to accelerate
Just twist the handle a bit.
Don't twist it too hard alright!
Coz you might make the bike jump out!
Ready?
Ready as ever!
Get ready. Let's go!
Let go
Go
Go
Hey hey hey. Where's the break?
Pop Break!
Your right hand and your left foot too!
Your left foot Note!
Hey Note! Press the brake. I told you to brake!
B-R-A-K-E…..!
Hey Note are you okay man?
Are you gonna make it?
My left foot was the gear!
Farewell my Master!
And how is your leg?
Oh it's not broken
Did you damage your brain?
No I didn't!
Do you remember who I am?
So the brake is on my right foot right?
Uh yeah.
And does the brake really work?
Of course it does.
So go ahead and try again.When you have to brake I'll tell you how.
Hey…Why did you brake?
I didn't tell you to brake yet.
Well I was testing the brake to see if it really works!
Learned my lesson last time!
Crazy-***!
Focus on riding.
What the heck are you doing?
I can do it.
What was that Note?
I was getting into the groove
And you had to go and ruin it.
Oh Note won't stick to just the soft grooves.
With that kind of playing you might as well put it in the case and take it home.
Still saving up for it.
I don't have a problem but you better hurry before someone else comes in to buy it.
Yes sir.
Ead
What?
Come here and take a look.
Ead hurry!
Where? What?
There on that delivery truck.
What of it?
I've always dreamed
that one day
I would lay down on a bed of roses.
And then someone would ask me to marry them.
Hey that's good. A total original idea!
That way you'll be a bride with thorns all over her body!
You're crazy!
Wow! Way to go!
Moe come here. Come and look at this. Hurry!
What?
Hey Note!
Hey Note!
Hey Ead.
I know your plan man. Learning how to ride so you can take girls out right?
Pass me the cotton swab.
Are you in the same band as Ead?
Yes.
I'm Love.
I mean my name is Rak as in love.
I'm president of this animal shelter
I'm a friend of Ead's.
Oh I'm Pop.
You like dogs?
Yes. At my home in Bangkok we have 7 dogs.
You finished? You finished over there?
Come here and taste this.
Let me taste. I'm starving
How is it?
Be careful it's hot.
It's delicious. Good.
Is it good?
Really. It's really good.
Just taste it. Go on.
Hey has Shakespeare's poetic spirit possessed you to make you come up here and read under the stars?
What's it to you? And are you the spirit that's here to copy my homework?
Nothing. Just wanted you to help me pick a poem and translate for me.
Whoa. That's even worse than copying my homework.
Why don't you do it yourself?
I don't know which poem to pick.
Here's the sheet I xeroxed for you.
Uh thanks.
If you were my girlfriend. I'd love you to death.
Pop
What is it?
Do you remember?
When I said that humans were born to be alone?
I remember.
Now I think
I'm ready to face the heartbreak and pain.
Hey Pop.
Can I ask you a question?
What is it?
Does Ann have a boyfriend yet?
Why do you ask?
I just want to know am I her type?
How would I know?
I'm sleepy. Going to bed now.
Hey Pop. Don't forget to translate my poem okay?
My ladies. Do not turn your hearts away from love.
Fore men will be men without denying.
One foot you plant upon the ocean so deep.
And the other you plant upon the adjacent sand.
Do not hope that his heart will truly love.
Fore your heart will be burdened from this hope.
Be happy and joyful without care.
Let him go without mind or despair.
From the screenplay 'Much Ado About Nothing'.
Excellent job! But I just wonder why you have selected a poem that reflects the female's perspective?
Uh…because I wanted to remind all women
not to easily fall in love with their hearts.
Okay. Thank you very much.
I would like all of you
to go home and think more about your individual topics regarding love.
I'll see you next time in class.
Good afternoon.
How was it?
It sucked.
Both the reader and the poem sucked.
Hey you picked and translated it yourself. And you're saying it sucked?!
Then why didn't you do it yourself?
Pop
Here's the rest of the sheet.
Do it yourself then.
Hey so which ones will we be quizzed on?
Where I've marked.
Here let me carry that.
Note!
You can take the bike.
And what about you?
Want me to pick you up later?
Then meet me at Main Street.
Good. You're just in time. Dance in my place.
No thanks.
You're quitting already?
Note.
Ooh Ead. My legs are sore!
Yes Dear. I'll give you a massage.
Really?
Sure. I'll use my feet on your face.
Note
Note. What about Pop?
You better go now or she'll have a fit!
Hello? Where are you?
Sorry sorry. I’m on my way now. Hold on okay?
I'm in front of the central police station.
Hey. Sorry Pop.
No worries.
I'll see you later.
Hey wait.
You're not all going to ride on that motorbike are you?
It's dangerous.
Let's take my car instead.
That's okay. We ride with 3 people all the time.
Hey you better not. It's dangerous.
I'll take you home.
Come on Pop let's go. We'll be late.
No worries. I'll drop you off.
Fine. Then let's go.
Come on Pop. Hurry.
Can you tell me now
why you're not the same as before?
We probably just drifted apart from the distance.
You've really changed Pop.
I'm going home.
And what about the band?
I'm sorry about that.
What was between us is our business.
Are you still Roommates with us?
If you still think you are
then the songs we're writing right now
I still want you to sing them.
Pop.
We're going to buy some stuff first.
Why did you stop Note?
Will you be my girlfriend?
How did you all become a band?
Well Ead and Moe
were in their own band before.
But the other members left their band.
By coincidence Pop and I played together at a Freshmen event.
They saw that we could play
so they asked us to join their band.
And then you all moved in together & became The Roommate.
What about you Ann?
How do you know Pop?
I changed schools during the 12th grade.
I didn't know anyone at all.
It was Pop who befriended me & showed me around.
We became really close.
When I graduated high school I moved overseas.
I don't have a lot of friends.
I consider Pop to be the closest friend that I have.
But now you have
Ead and Moe
as two more good friends to add to your list.
And what about you?
Can I be more than just your friend?
What are you doing here?
Someone is about to buy the guitar you want already.
Really?
Good thing the owner said that it's already reserved.
Whatever you do you better hurry up and do it.
Yeah. I've got just a bit more to save up.
And what are you two up to?
I'm getting my hair done. What's it to you?
Pop!
What are you doing here?
What? I can't pamper myself a bit?
You want to grab a bite to eat? You hungry yet?
I'm starving!
Okay then. You pick where.
Oh hey! Pop!#?!
Who styled your hair?!
You can't be serious!
I bought our tickets already.
Let's get something to eat first.
Let's be more than friends.
Hey how did you do?
Alright I guess. Did as good as I studied for.
Sorry I didn't xerox all my notes for you.
No worries. I should do my own reading anyway.
Go ahead and box it please.
Where are you meeting Rak?
He said to meet in the parking lot.
Then come with me really quick okay?
Hey Pop. Wait.
Hold this real quick.
The one I came to look at before.
Give me your hand.
Come on. Just give me your hand.
I think it'll fit.
What? What is this?!
Is it pretty?
I was thinking about buying it as a birthday gift for Ann.
Can you afford it?
Yeah. The money I've been saving up.
And the guitar you've been wanting?
It can wait. I'll save up for it again.
Pop texted saying that she's not coming tonight.
She's not feeling well.
What do you mean not feeling well?
She was fine earlier!
What's wrong with her?
If there's a problem she never talks about it.
Where is she now?
I don't know.
She's not answering her phone.
Um why don't we cut the cake first
since all the guests are waiting.
What do you say?
Good idea. Good idea.
How about it?
Let me try calling Pop.
Ann
Any luck?
I'm texting her now to call me back.
Just let her be Ann.
If we're not important enough to her then just leave her alone.
Did you two argue about something?
No. A while ago we were together buying your cake & we went to…
…Um…buy other stuff.
Happy Birthday.
You both went to buy this together right?
The owner wants us on stage now.
And who's going to play keyboard?
Mr. Noom.
U sure?
Why didn't you show up tonight?
Do you know what we had to deal with?
Pop.
Leave me alone!
Pop!
Let me talk to her.
Pop.
Happy Birthday.
What's up? Why didn't you come tonight?
Nothing. There's nothing up.
You sure?
It's because of Note right?
You like him don't you?
No.
You want me to help you?
I think it's best if you mind your own business.
I wanna be alone now.
Pop if you like Note and don't say anything…
Didn't you hear what I just said?!
I'm going up to see what's going on.
Ead : Hey not yet man!
Moe : Hey don't.
Then I'll tell him myself.
If you do that
don't even think of being friends!
Pop
You can leave now.
Hey what's going on?
Ann!
What?
Um…Pop she…
Ann if you say anything more
don't even think about being friends anymore.
What's going on Pop?
Can't you just mind your own business?
It is my business!
Why didn't you show up at the pub tonight?
Because you weren't there who do you think played keyboard huh?
Mr. Noom
and all of our songs were off key!
Do you know what you put the whole band through tonight?
Ann didn't even get to blow out her candles!
How do you think she felt huh?!
This was her special day you know!
Hey let's just chill out okay?
Mind your own business!
Your business? And what about the rest of us?
What about it?
How can you be so selfish?
Note!
You think you can just come and go as you please?
You might as well just quit the band then!
Hey
We're all friends man.
Come on Pop. Let's go downstairs first.
Let's go.
You like Note don't you?
So why don't you tell him?
I'm afraid of losing him as a friend.
I understand what you mean
but in the end he's going to find out anyway.
If you keep it to yourself you won't feel any better.
You might as well just tell him.
And just see what happens.
It's easy for you to say.
And what about you and Ead?
Can you do the same?
Pop must have her own reason for everything that's happened.
What reason would that be?
I'm not sure.
But if it has to with her personal feelings
it's probably a sensitive issue
that will take some time.
I'm worried about what's going to happen.
What do you mean?
Uh…never mind. Let's just say
I don't know who you think is right or wrong about everything
but I think you should go and apologize to Pop.
Let's just say I'm asking you to.
I don't want our band to have to go through the same problems all over again.
And do you know
the reason for all the problems
that have happened?
Out of everyone you should be the one to know.
Deep down you know why
but you just won't come out and say it.
I don't understand why?
Why huh?
Moe what are you talking about?
The truth.
The truth that no one wants to admit to.
What you're thinking.
How you feel.
Why don't you come out and say it?
Why won't you say anything Ead?!
Can't you just tell me?
Pop!
Pop!
I was afraid someone else was going to take away what belongs to you.
If music be the food of love Play on.
Pop bought this guitar for me.
Now you know right?
So what should I do now?
Is this Pop's father?
Is Pop there?
This is Ann.
No nothing important.
Thank you very much.
Haven't seen her at all.
Where are you Pop? Call us back! The Roommate.
Did you find her?
Eat something Note.
I'm not hungry.
This ring doesn't belong to me.
I don't think I'm your type.
I'm sorry.
Note
are you okay?
I'm just surprised
that I don't…
I don't feel heartbrokened at all.
Are you mad at me Ann?
I'm not mad.
If music be the food of love Play on.
The best of all possible worlds.
Roommate: Note finished writing our songs. Waiting for you to come back & play in our concert tonight on the roof. The Roommate.
You sure you want to go back to Bangkok?
Yeah.
And what about playing in your band?
And what about your friends?
I think you should tell them first.
I want to apologize
for misleading you from the start.
And so you broke my heart.
But if I'm not the one then that's okay.
But… The person you do like
have you told them yet?
This very concert
has been a dream for all 5 of us.
Pop who plays keyboard once said to me
that when we finished writing our songs
we would come up here to play them in concert.
The very place we all hang our laundry out to dry.
And she was the inspiration to finish these songs.
The one who has made our dream come true.
If anyone here has seen Pop
or knows where she is
please tell me.
Because I want to see her
and apologize to her.
I want her to come back and be The Roommate with us again.
If at all possible
I would want her here tonight to play this song with me.
And to hang our clothes out together.
Ann you're still my closest friend okay?
Take care of yourself okay?
Come back and sing with us again okay?
Our house still has a place for you 24-7 k?
And don't forget to bring gifts!
You cheap ***!
She's going overseas!
So when did you start liking me?
I don't know.
And what about you?
How'd you finish writing our songs?
'Cause I missed you.
Since when?
I don't know.
You don't know?! You don't know?!
The many words I have heard before
That never answered the questions
in my heart
Questions that have no answers
The words known by all
but not me Never before touched by these words
Until I finally met you
You’ve changed my whole world around
Moe : If you even think about playing that lizard prank again.You're dead meat you ***!
Watch the step.
This isn't funny you know!
You ready?
Ready!
You ready yet?
Go ahead. Take a look.
Will this do huh? It's original!
You crazy ***!
You’ve changed my whole world around
You’ve made me understand the meaning
Because of you
You are the love
that I have been searching for
You’ve made me understand
without having to explain
You are the love
that I have been searching for
You are the meaning of love
You are the love
that I have been searching for
You’ve made me understand
without having to explain
You are the love that I have been searching for
You are the meaning of love
