I ad-lib my rap, don't use note pad
Hi guys,
my special talents
are playing the piano and braiding hair.
So today, I'm going to show you how to braid hair.
- Liew. - Liew.
Today has been a fun-filled day.
Before we go back home,

Who is he waiting for?
Sorry, Joe.
It's only been a week and everyone has forgotten you already.
CONFIRM REQUEST
FRIENDS
Yesterday, I told Jiab to--
Sorry.
- Who is he? - I don't know. Have you seen him before?
No. How could I? I'm always stuck with you.
What's his name?
I'm Pae. Meiji's boyfriend, bitch!
What's your problem?
Do you want a piece of me?
PREVIOUS SEMESTER
Baby, that's enough.
Pae, stop it.
We broke up ages ago. What's your problem?
I don't even know why you broke up with me!
Because you're so annoying.
- Hey. - Do you know why you don't have friends?
Because your clothes stink like puke!
I'll give you a new alias.
Pae, Smelly Shirt.
Run home to your dad and have him wash them for you.
Damn!
It's okay, baby.
It'll heal.
Sorry...
PRAEMRATTANA FLOUR MILL CO., LTD.
Pae.
For your final Grade 12 semester,
I've asked Uncle Cherdchai to take you into his school.
That means I'll get new school uniforms, right?
When are you going to build the laundry room?
My new uniform will stink all over again.
Are you that afraid of having a smelly uniform?
Do you really hate the family business?
When you graduate,
if you can't get into a university on your own,
be prepared to work at the flour mill with me.
Hello, students of Class 8.
For this final semester, we have a new student joining us.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Parama Rattanasetthaworn.
And your nickname is...
- Pae. - Your friend's nickname is...
Pae.
- First name, Pa-Ra... - Ma.
- Pa-Ra... - Ma.
- Rattanasettha... - Worn.
Okay. Pae, go sit over there.
The student who sits there won't return this term.
I'll be back.
The projector is broken. Let me go find someone to fix it.
Did you know?
A scientist said
people will remember a total number of 150 of their friends.
And the new friend you've just met
will replace one you already know.
Are you talking to me?
Of course.
I'm trying to make friends with you.
What I'm trying to say is
that you're now my 150th friend
because you're the latest person I've just met.
I'm Joe.
You're Pae, right?
Yes.
Pae.
Why did you transfer schools now?
Did you get kicked out?
- For what? - Hey!
Shit.
You don't need to try to know me.
I'm going to be here just for this term.
After we graduate, you won't see my face ever again.
REST IN PEACE, JOE
Hello, everyone.
I'm Atom, from the Faculty of Communication Arts.
Today, I will share with you a shortcut to getting into a university.
It's a short film contest project.
The topic is "Pulling Heartstrings."
The top ten people
will be accepted into my faculty.
You won't need to take any exams!
No matter how much he loves you I love you more...
Kids nowadays know what they want to be and do.
They're totally in their own skin. See?
No need to give them a lot of advice.
Be confident.
Keep talking!
Don't be a scaredy cat!
"Pulling Heartstrings"?
So no exam scores are needed at all?
None at all.
Just make a short film and that's it.
And you are?
Pae. I'm Pae.
Pae.
You know, last year, 40 people applied.
And they were accepting ten.
The chance is one in 40?
What grade are you in?
One in four, Pae.
One in four?
One in four, Pae!
Do yourself a favor and don't study anything that requires math.
Well...
You see, Pae.
You're the perfect person
to apply without using any exam scores.
You better make a short film.
If you want to make a movie,
the first thing you will need
is a story.
I see a blank look on your face.
A story is what you want to tell, Pae.
You need a storyline.
All right, you see.
Last year's winner
made a film about their late grandma.
The story is very simple, but it's damn sentimental.
Do you know why?
Because it's a true story.
The audience was crying.
If there's a true story based on someone close to you
that is sentimental...
MR. JOE URAIRIT
Can you tell me good and sentimental stories about Joe?
Good stories about Joe?
Let me think for a second.
I liked Joe because of his name.
His real name was the same as his nickname.
- It gave him quite a character. - Yes.
Joe was a comic manic.
He talked to us about it all the time.
He once told me the last island in One Piece is the moon.
Damn!
His imagination was deep.
Good memories about Joe?
Principal Cherdchai wants us to create this kind of content as well.
He made you do it too, right?
Let me tell you about it.
First, we've put in a request for an iMac for three or four years.
And we've slaved away for him.
We still haven't gotten one.
That's enough.
I don't want to know about you guys. What are the good things about Joe--
We're like buffoons.
He's looking at you like a buffoon too, you know?
My memory's full, damn it.
Pae, Mr. Parama Rattanasetthaworn.
Have you ever been to the library?
If you want information on your friend,
you should go there and look for what is called a yearbook.
Everything is in there.
Parents' names, where they're buried and so on.
You can go take a look. You will remember those information.
The library is over here.
YEARBOOK
MR. JOE URAIRIT
MOTTO: IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE
THE STORY OF JOE
JOE IS A...
Hey, who's your favorite band?
Sunny-side-up and over-easy eggs, which one do you like?
Pae.
Do you like tinnie-winnie hotdogs?
How old will we be when One Piece ends?
Between the mountains and the sea,
which do you prefer?
JOE IS A FRIENDLY PERSON
Damn it.
This is definitely not a story.
I remember.
Joe was born on the same day as me. Seventh of August.
He also had an older sister.
His house is around Min Buri. His family has a stationary shop.
But it seemed like he had some money problems.
Hey, but he's a good person.
He once let me borrow his pen.
I think there was never a day Joe's shirt wasn't ironed.
AND HIS SHIRT WAS ALWAYS IRONED
THE STORY OF JOE
Shit.
I really don't have any imagination.
Damn!
His imagination was deep.
No wonder he submitted his short story to a contest.
Hey, really?
About what?
No idea.
But I heard he won and got 100,000 in prize money.
No, you idiot!
He was disqualified because he died.
Why are you scolding me?
Why did you slap my head?
Why are you yelling at me?
Joe, you forgot your stuff!
Hey, but I want to read the story he wrote.
Do you think anyone has ever read it?

SHORT STORY CONTEST
FIREWORKS AND STARS
In this vast universe,
there are a lot of galaxies.
Each galaxy contains millions of stars.
A boy named Joe loves to look up into the sky,
wondering whether, among those clusters of stars,
would there be a planet that's just the same as Earth.
In the end,
he discovered that Earth-like planets really exist.
Most importantly,
on those planets,
he is able to see himself in various versions as well.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
He sees a planet
where he grows up to be a world-famous athlete.
It's going up...
An astronaut.
There's a planet where he becomes a highly skilled spy.
There's one very strange planet.
SCORE: 5 OUT OF 20
- But that's good though. - He's the dumbest person on that planet,
but he's well-loved by everyone.
The boy now realizes
that Joes on the other planets are so special.
Much different than his own self on this Earth,
who is just an ordinary person.
NOTICE OF OVERDUE PAYMENT OF TUITION FEES
His life won't ever be as bright as those stars.
His life is just like a spark from fireworks.
The boy then stops looking up at the sky and decides
that before his spark goes out,
he will try to shine brightly, so those around him can smile.
When Joes from the other planets look at him,
they will see Joe on this planet
is someone special as well.
A SHORT STORY BY JOE URAIRIT
- Hello, Atom. - What?
- I got it. I have a story. - Really?
I'll send it to you.
A FILM BY PARAMA RATTANASETTHAWORN
You're totally crushing it!
I knew that you must be the one.
The film industry's new gem has been discovered.
SHORT FILM CONTEST
FIREWORKS AND STARS
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
PAE, I READ IT
YOU REALLY GOT ME
"You really got me."
Are you Pae, the new student in Class 8?
Yes.
- I'm Bokeh, from Class 1. - Okay.
I heard that you're making a short film about Joe, right?
Yes.
Where did you hear it from?
I saw you interviewing other people the other day.
I see.
Can I ask?
Why are you making a film about Joe?
Joe was my close friend.
Now that he's gone, I wanted to do something for him.
Well, do you want my help?
I know how to film.
My mom is a cinematographer.
I have all the equipment at home.
Here, take a look.
Awesome.
But you've been here for only a month,
how come you're Joe's close friend?
I don't mean to be nosy.
My mom's a cinematographer. But my dad's a police officer.
So asking questions is just a habit of mine.
I've been Joe's best friend from my old school
since junior high.
We sat next to each other since Grade 7,
so we're close.
But the person sitting next to Joe throughout junior high
was me.
What?
What the hell is so funny?
Why did you lie?
Bokeh, right?
Glad to have met you.
See you around.
SHORT FILM CONTEST
Is this the real reason you're making a short film?
You aren't making it for Joe,
but you're using his death for your own gain.
How dare you?
You're not even his friend. What right do you have?
How much about him do you even know?
Parama, Grade 12, Class 8,
please report to the Principal's Office immediately.
Well, if you will excuse me.
They called me in, it might be important.
It's a good thing we got to talk today.
Parama.
- Our hero. - Hello.
Have a seat.
This is Joe's mom.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad that Joe's friends miss him.
I've gathered Joe's pictures
in case you need them.
Thank you, ma'am.
And most importantly,
I'd like to support your movie as well.
Fifty thousand baht.
Fifty thousand?
This money
is from Joe's life insurance.
Insurance?
I've talked to Jane, Joe's sister.
We want to use this money to do something for Joe.
Are you hot?
Ma'am, it's fine. I don't...
Ever since Joe's death,
I can't bring myself to use this money.
I really can't.
I don't know how short films are made,
but I'm glad that Joe's friends want to make a film for him.
Thank you so much.
Parama from Class 8,
our friend who has talent in movie-making,
is going to make a short film
to memorialize
Joe, our friend who's already gone.
Everyone, please look forward to watching this movie,
which will be shown at the Senior Farewell.
And Joe's mom
also donated 50,000 baht to support this project.
BANK TRANSFER RECEIPT: 50,000 BAHT
You won't stop, right?
Are you planning to make it big?
Moreover,
I've already ordered the newest iMac with the highest specs
for this project!
You have one chance to tell everyone
that you won't make this movie anymore.
Or else, I'll expose you.
And now,
I'd like to invite Parama
to come up and say a few words to you.
Come on up, Parama.
SHORT FILM CONTEST
If you can't get into a university on your own,
be prepared to work at the flour mill with me!
There's a truth I need to tell you.
Actually...
the short film that I'm going to make
is based on the last story written by Joe.
- Joe... - Damn.
Do you guys know that Joe wrote a story?
Everyone has probably heard
about Joe's short story that won a contest,
but it was unjustly disqualified, right?
I feel sorry for him.
His death was already a misfortune.
Now, the life and dreams that he wrote about
were unfairly tossed out.
A story that no one got to read,
but I, who was his best friend,
have read it.
Therefore, the last thing that Joe wrote,
I'm going to make it meaningful.
I'm going to make a short film out of it!
And Joe will forever be in our hearts.
Every single one of you.
Because what I love the most in this world
are two things.
Friends
and films.
Friends and films!
What a load of crap!
But I love it!
Make your donations for other activities here.
So we won't ever forget him!
- Do it for Joe! - Right!
- Do it for Joe! - Do it for Joe!
- What?
- Do it for Joe! - Do it for Joe!
I'm going to tell Joe's mom!
- Yes! - Yes!
SI RUNG
- Bokeh. - Hello, Joe's mom.
- I have something important to tell you. - Hi, Pae.
- Ma'am, Pae... - Ma'am.
I'm here to return the money to you.
Please.
Ma'am.
Actually...
Liew.
- Hello. - Hi.
What are you guys doing here?
Perfect, Pae has something important to say.
We came to talk with Joe's mom about doing activities for Joe.
We're also streaming live for the whole school to watch.
YOU'RE THE MAN!
But I heard you say you were going to return the money?
Pae, are you not doing the movie anymore?
Is it because the money's not enough? I'll find a way to give you more.
Well...
Well, he's returning 30,000, ma'am.
We only need 20,000.
Yes, that's right.
Twenty thousand is enough. I'm good at managing money.
You're so honest, honey.
This is Joe's room.
Take a look, it might help you.
Pae and Bokeh,
make yourselves at home.
Bokeh.
I have
something to confess.
What else?
I don't know how to make a short film.
I will help you make the movie for Joe.
If you do it yourself, you'll ruin it.

Come on, don't get cocky with me.
I like playing basketball.
I dream that one day, I'll be a basketball player.
What about you?
I've made a video once.
Really?

JOE, FRIENDS FOREVER
WITH LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, TO JOE, OUR FRIEND
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU, JOE
I want everyone to write on a Post-it of the good things that Joe did for you.
YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND
Or anything you want to tell him.
And on the day of the Senior Farewell,
we'll take these Post-it
and stick them at the entrance
for everyone to read them.
FIREWORKS AND STARS
What do you think? Didn't Joe write a tearjerker?
A FILM BY PAE BEST FRIEND
A FILM BY PAE BEST (NOT) FRIEND
Do you have a problem with it?
It's quite acceptable.
Well, then.
Let's get to know our crew.
We aren't helping.
We don't know you.
We weren't close to Joe either.
- What do we get if we-- - You can take the iMac.
- I love my friends. - I love my friends.
- I love films. - I love films.
Shall we start?
I'm so screwed.
AUDIO-VISUAL ROOM
Let's divide up the jobs.
I can do the filming. My mom delivered me at a film set.
The first thing I ever touched was a camera.
So I'll be the cinematographer.
Why do we have to take photos?
This is a mega project for my club.
Let me include it in the portfolio, okay?
Three, two...
I love a complicated story. My dad's name is Christopher Nolan.
When I was born, my dad helped deliver me in front of a computer.
Are you mocking me?
I'll be the editor.
FATHER NOLAN
- Does anyone know about sound recording? - I do.
I've helped college students do sound recording for a movie before.
Whenever I hold the boom mic, it's like I'm invisible.
But usually, none of my classmates ever notice I'm around anyway.
The actors probably won't see me either.
Then can you two do props?
- Sure! - Hey, hold on.
Who are your connections? Or do you have any special talents?
Sorry.
We're just ordinary people who love movies.
Long live cinema, miss.
One, two, three.
Okay. Complete.
Wait! What about me?
- You're the director! - You're the director!
Hey, Pae. Can you form circles with your hands?
Like a film director looking through a camera lens, you know.
Do you have a problem with me?
Dude. Let's try again. It's...
Come on, hurry.
HOW FILM DIRECTORS POSE?
Yes, like that.
One, two, three.
DIRECTOR
So...
who's going to play Joe?
No one among us looks like Joe, right?
I have someone.
Really? Who?
Does anyone have a shaver?
Do I really have to shave off all my hair?
For an iMac. Let's do this.
I love my friends.
I love films.
An iMac...
Father Nolan would be proud of you.
Believe me, you will look hotter than Joe.
Joe! Why did you get a buzz cut?
DIRECTOR, CINEMATOGRAPHER, EDITOR, SOUND, ART TEAM
Vin Diesel, seriously.
But I don't think I look like Joe.
Well, let's shoot without seeing his face, then.
- Only shoot from behind. - What?
Great idea.
FIREWORKS AND STARS
Joe, our friend,
has passed through this world already.
But this universe is so vast.
There are many other planets where he is still alive.
On each planet,
he is the top dog.
There's a planet where he's a world-famous athlete.
For this scene, let's do a ping-pong game.
Joe can play against three people.
At a glance, people would know he's top-notch.
Pop and Art, go make the ping-pong paddles.
Make sure the balls don't fly away.
You got it.
And get the ping-pong athletes to be the extras.
But our school doesn't have any ping-pong athletes.
We only have boxers.
Great. Bring them all.
Camera speed.
Athlete scene. Take one.
It's "action."
Say "action."
Awesome.
There's a planet where he's an astronaut.
Damn, how are we going to do this one?
Movie is magic.
Good.
There's a planet where he's a spy.
Let's make a parody of Mission Impossible. It's universal and easy to understand.
Bokeh. Damn, that's ancient.
Tom Cruise is older than your dad.
He has done new movies every year.
- Really? How many? - He did one this year,
- you dumbshit. - Whatever. I say, we should do Tenet.
They did reverse sequences. Badass.
Do you want to take it elsewhere?
Pae, you're the director. Make a choice.
Mission Impossible or Tenet?
A mix.
Why are you laughing? He's totally ahead of his time.
Camera speed.
Hey.
If papers are flying up in reverse, it's breaking the rules of Tenet.
- Normally-- - Just roll with it.
No one really understands Tenet.
Damn.
So cool.
Father Nolan! I did it.
FATHER NOLAN
There's one very strange planet.
He's the dumbest person on that planet,
but he's well-loved by everyone.
Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?
How do you think you'll execute this scene?
This scene?
This scene...
Well...
Joe is sitting in the classroom all alone after school,
looking at his failed test paper,
which his friends put heart stickers on.
PRE-TEST
Do you think Pae is the real deal?
And whether on this planet or any other planet,
Pae, his so-called close friend,
will always be by Joe's side.
I'm a dog from the 22nd century.
I'll be your friend, Joe.
How's that? He can both direct and act.
Pae is the real deal indeed.
Can you act like you're closer to each other?
You don't look tight.
Again. Reset.
- Yes. - Yes.
Do it so people know you're close with just a glance.
- Yes! - Yes!
Can you do how guys play with each other?
Shit!
Bokeh, when the hell are you going to call cut?
How did you guys grow up?
Can you get more creative?
How about doing it like BL series? It's trending.
- Hey... - That's enough, Bokeh!
There should be at least one take that works.
Yes, the first take is the best.
All right, next.
- I'll hold that for you. - Bokeh,
damn you.
Hey.
Sarge.
Can you handle this? Don't just get our dust trail.
Say what you want.
Don't underestimate my two-horsepower push.
Pae, you look cool!
Uoy-htiw-yawa-raos-lliw-I.
I will soar away with you.
Hey, cut! The dog. Fellas, go take care of it.
Sure thing.
Come here. Do you want to play in the movie for Joe?
Pae, you should play the coach in the ping-pong scene.
Do you expect me to be the paddle?
Bring it on!
I am Joe's friend!
Come on!
Very cinematic, Pae, my friend.
Pae!
Shit, Pae's done for!
Can you do one more take?
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
You're really good at playing the paddle.
Are you still alive?
Are you still there, Pae?
Pae...
Damn.
Long live cinema.
It's so damn heavy. My back still aches from that day.
Why didn't you let the boxers give you a massage?
Damn.
All right, it's the final scene.
Let's talk.
Even though Joe's life won't be like those stars,
he's like a spark from fireworks
that shines brightly so those around him can smile.
When Joes from the other planets look at him,
they will see
Joe on this planet is someone special as well.
Hey, can I ask a weird question?
I'm not disagreeing with you or anything.
I understand that the story is written this way.
But...
Joe is already dead.
So who will Joes on the other planets see?
They will see us.
For the last scene, we'll film one another.
We will tell Joes on the other planets, just how special Joe on our Earth is.
And just how special is Joe on our Earth?
Can't it just be Joe on Earth is our friend?
Isn't that enough?
For the final scene,
let's shoot it at a playground.
We will set fireworks off into the sky
to send a signal to the other Joes to look at us.
And we will have all of our friends hold sparklers to represent Joe.
And why a playground?
Because it's a place representing our childhood.
We will send off our childhood by telling the other Joes
that even when we become adults, we won't forget Joe.
And what makes Joe on this planet special
is that Joe on this planet is our friend!
I understand that you've been the director.
But this is the first time I feel you're a true director.
THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN AS MY FRIEND
Goodness, Pae.
That's deep.
Damn you, Bokeh.
- Man. - You're nosy.
I guess this is your deep side, huh?
Pae.
Do you know at what point you become someone's close friend?
When?
It's when we share secrets with one another.
And you will be the first person to know about this.
I WANT TO BE LIEW'S BOYFRIEND
Damn.
You have feelings for Liew, your neighbor?
I've known that for ages.
Really?
But don't tell anyone, okay?
Sure. How about this?
I'll help you get Liew.
Hey.
Don't joke around.
I really mean it. I even wrote it down.
Deal!
THE DREAMS OF JOE AND BOKEH
Have you ever wondered...
why you never saw Joe talking to me?
BOKEH LIKES JOE
Missing Joe in math gets you mad
Missing Joe in English makes you flustered
The next class got to skip To meet up with Joe
I don't like him. We're just friends.
Here, take a look.
Joe likes this person.
I WANT TO BE LIEW'S BOYFRIEND
Who is Liew?
This is so damn hilarious.
He even wrote it down in his notebook.
Hey!
"Joe's book of dreams." Damn, our friend.
"Go to Bang Saen Beach with Mom and Jane."
So lame.
Hey, Dream Hunter.
When did you get here?
Joe, who's Liew?
Have you started dating her?
Give me her number. I'll call and tell her for you.
I revealed his secret to other people.
THE DREAMS OF...
When we got into high school,
we even got into the same school.
But I didn't dare talk to him ever again.
But during our last field trip,
out of the blue, he spoke to me.
I thought we would go back to being best friends again.
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T APOLOGIZE
WE WON'T FORGET JOE, OUR FRIEND
I guess this means we're best friends then.
What?
You told me your secret.
Thank you for helping me make this movie.
Without you,
I probably couldn't make it this far.
So you can say nice things too. I like it.
Good boy.
I just heard you talk nicely today.

Pae!
Take a look at the photo I sent.
Do you see the person behind me crying out of only one eye?
That's the teacher who's one of the judges.
He said tears from the other eye are reserved for your last scene.
You'll definitely get accepted.
They're going to upload your movie to the faculty's page for others to see.
Be prepared to be famous!
Is it this one?
That's ten. Here's eleven.
My name...
Where?
- Here's your name. - Right.
Let me see for a second.
What are you doing?
Look there.
I don't look nervous, do I?
- Do you see Thanon? - My hands are shaking.
Damn.
He's going to ask Liew out.
This is a trick.
I hope it doesn't happen.
So lame.
Right?
Thanon is such a dork.
Just you wait and see.
I meant you.
Liew is here.
Go to the concert with me?
GO TO THE CONCERT WITH ME?
Damn!
- Yes! - Yes!
Bye.
Here.
- What? - You can take it.
- Why don't you go? - Why?
I don't want to.
What a waste.
And he just invited you.
- It's VIP! - That's right.
Joe!
I'll return your comics tomorrow, okay?
You can keep them.
Bye.
Let's go get some grub at a restaurant.
That restaurant...
Liew, you can do it.
Thank you.
Try your best as well.
- Come on. Let's hurry. Bye. - Bye.
Everyone, you can start your exam now.

Time's up. Everyone, put your pencil down.
Okay, everyone in Class 8 is already here, right?
Ready? Smile.
One, two...
Hold on. Wait up.
Ohm.
- Hey, it's Ohm. - Ohm.
What brings you here?
Mom wanted me to take today's photos.
I see.
Come on up.
Okay, you can go stand in the empty spot.
Make some room for your friend in the back there.
Sorry, could you please scoot over?
Now, it's really complete, cameraman. We're ready.
Okay.
Ready. Smile.
One, two, three.
BOKEH, PAE, PING, ART, POP, BOOM
I'm Pae.
I'm the new guy.
That's not it. I was going to say
that's where I usually sit.
Shit. Sorry.
When I arrived, they told me to sit here.
No worries. Just sit.
REST IN PEACE, JOE
If you've been sitting here, then...
did you know Joe?
Of course I did.
Were you close to him?
We were...
Yes, we were close. Really.
I'm not lying.
- Really? - Yes.
He's my best friend.
I see.
I forgot.
I'm Ohm.
I've been sick. That's why I've been away from school.
See you around.
Pae.
Can I ask you for a strange favor?
Tomorrow's my birthday.
Do you want to come over to my house?
Why did you drag me here?
I'm not close with Ohm. We've never even talked.
That's the reason.
Same here.
You said it's going to be a flop.
Your whole Class 8 is here.
I thought you were afraid that no one was coming.
It's like Ohm's man cave.
One, two, three.
- Yes! - Yes!
Hey, that's not funny.
Our entire class came today.
- Yes. - Not really.
Who's missing?
Joe's missing.
He was the only one who had ever come to visit me.
Hey, Ohm.
Pae made a short film about Joe too.
- Yes, that's right. - That's so cool.
Really? Can you show it?
- Play it for him. - I want to watch it.
Well...
It's not finished yet.
But you all can watch it together at the Senior Farewell.
Can you tell me what it's about?
It's based on a short story Joe submitted to a contest and won.
Right now, everyone in school is hyping Pae up.
I really want to watch it.
Actually, I once wrote a short story too.
Really?
- Read it to us. - We want to know.
- Read it to us. - Please read it.
- Please. - I want to hear it.
Go ahead, read it.
Come on.
- Read it to us. - Come on.
"In this vast universe,
there are a lot of galaxies.
Each galaxy contains millions of stars.
A boy named Ohm
loves to look up into the sky, wondering
whether, among those clusters of stars,
would there be a planet that's just the same as Earth.
He sees a planet where he grows up to be a world-famous athlete."
MVP 2017'S U14 BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
"An astronaut.
There's a planet where he's a highly skilled spy.
His life won't ever be as bright as those stars.
His life is just like a spark from fireworks.
Before his spark goes out,
he will try to shine brightly, so those around him can smile.
At least, those who he loves won't be sad any longer.
When Ohms from the other planets look at him,
they will see Ohm on this planet
is someone special as well."
I think
your story is really great.
Why don't you try submitting it to a contest?
Someone once told me that as well.
Damn!
Your short story is awesome.
You're so good at this, Ohm.
Thank you.
Damn.
Ohm.
You should submit it.
There's a contest.
The winner will get a 100,000 baht prize.
Send it in.
I don't think I will.
Why not?
Man, your story is a masterpiece.
I think if you send it in, you'll definitely win.
Actually,
I heard my mom talking with my doctor.
He said I have less than a year to live.
So I don't know what I'd send it in for.
Can I have it then?
Hey!
I'm joking.
Well, no matter what other people say,
I believe one day, you'll get better.
Pae.
Can you make my story into a movie too?

A SHORT STORY BY JOE URAIRIT
So that when I die,
people won't forget me.
FIREWORKS AND STARS
When we finish shooting this movie
and everyone watches it,
they will know--
That Joe's an ass, right?
He stole his dying friend's story to win the prize money.
What would others think of Joe then?
Damn it.
Hey.
Aren't you disappointed in Joe?
Uncle Cherdchai told me that you're making a short film.
But don't tell me
the reason you didn't take the exam was to make that short film.
Come talk with me over there.
This is my way of getting into a university.
Then answer me.
When did you learn to make a short film?
Why are you risking your future on something you've never done before?
This shortcut is for kids who know what they're doing,
not for a loser like you.
Just wait and see, Dad.
Hey, Pae! For the last scene,
Cherdchai means business.
He got permission to film at the amusement park.
He's allowing all the Grade 12 students to play in it.
Shit, this is going to be spectacular!
LAST SHOT! JOE'S PICTURE, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
What do you think?
Today's going to be really fun, for sure.
We're almost done.
Can't wait to see it.
Hey, guys.
Put the picture away. I'm not using it anymore.
Why?
You guys can remember Joe's face, can't you?
MR. JOE URAIRIT
I see.
Important people are remembered in the hearts of others.
- Right. - I see.
Shit. Pae, you're really deep.
Awesome.
So what are you planning to do?
I'm going to finish it.
But I'll replace Joe's name and face with Ohm's, the owner of the story.
What?
But you already told the entire school
that it's from Joe's winning short story.
I'm going to tell them the truth
that Joe stole it.
You see.
I won't let him screw me up.
I'm going to ask for Ohm's permission.
I'm going to send it to the university.
Damn you, Pae.
If you do that,
I'm pulling out.
I won't help you film anymore.
Fine.
Go for it, Pae.
- You can do it. - We're looking forward to it.
Hey, Pae. Everything is going to shut down in half an hour.
We'll have to get them to do one long shot so Bokeh can get it in one go.
Where is she? We have to discuss the shot.
- Pae? - I'll film it myself.
Some people had already lit their sparklers for fun.
There's probably only enough for one take.
- We'll wait for Bokeh-- - No, I'm ready to shoot.
Pae, some extras need to take a dump, they ask--
Hey! I'm ready to shoot now!
Okay, let's do it!
All right. Everyone, ready?
Guys.
Could you line up in rows of ten?
Start from here.
I'll give you a signal, and you will all start to run, okay?
Come on.
- Everyone, ready? - Hold on.
Why is it darker on the camera?
How do you make it brighter?
You didn't adjust the ISO.
Okay.
What the hell, Pae? Did you fight with Bokeh?
Want me to go make peace with her?
We can only do one take for this scene.
Go!
Hurry! Run!
Be careful.
Go to the right a bit. You're going to hit Pae.
Don't run into the camera.
Over here, make way.
Good.
- Pae, did you get it? - Yes.
Really? You got it?
Beautiful.
Do your best. Everything's caught on camera.
All right?
Yes, got it.
Hey, director. Move to the right. Okay.
Go!
Careful, don't trip over.
Go!
Let's shoot the next scene.
We'll give you one sparkler each.
When yours is lit, keep looking at it. It's all caught on camera, okay?
Concentrate. Focus. Good.
Nice.
Your sparkler is almost running out.
- That's right. - Don't bring it near me.
- I don't think this is going to work. - Come on.
Man, they're so emotionless.
Say something about Joe to trigger their emotions.
I don't want to. You do it for me.
JUNIOR HIGH PHOTOS
I know that no one here was close to Joe.
Because I wasn't either.
But you guys must have that one friend
who you didn't see anymore.
But when you were together,
they were the ones who knew you the best.
You used to smile together,
laugh together,
and make some crazy pacts together.
You must have that friend in your life.
I'm asking you to think of that one friend, can't you?
Who knows? You might scroll past them on Instagram.
But in this life,
you might never get to see them ever again.
To the future Joe and Bokeh,
we're from the past.
The dreams written in this notebook, how many have you done?
When the time comes, the notebook would be already lost.
Damn, why do you say that? I wrote in there every day with you.
Just kidding.
When the time comes, I'd have done everything.
Goodness!
What makes Mr. Joe so confident in himself?
Well...
I have a good friend.
She's really great. She'll help me and then I'll accomplish them all.
Baldy! No way!
I was joking.
I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH BOKEH AGAIN
That's a wrap.
That's a wrap!
Hello, Ohm.
It's Pae.
Well...
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Pae.
About showing the movie,
could you reconsider it?
Bokeh.
Well...
Ohm's condition is critical and he's in the hospital.
He's dying.
Hello.
Come on in.
Hey.
Thank you very much for coming to visit.
We have something to show you.
FIREWORKS AND STARS SHORT FILM
In this vast universe,
there are a lot of galaxies.
Each galaxy contains millions of stars.
A boy named Ohm loves to look up into the sky,
wondering whether, among those clusters of stars,
would there be a planet that's just the same as Earth.
FIREWORKS AND STARS
And he discovered that Earth-like planets really exist.
On those planets,
he is able to see himself in various versions as well.
He sees a planet where he is a world-famous athlete.
An astronaut.
A highly skilled spy.
A dumbest person, but he's well-loved by everyone.
The boy now realizes that Ohms on the other planets are so special.
Much different than his own self on this Earth,
who is just an ordinary person.
His life is just like a spark from fireworks.
The boy then stops looking up at the sky and decides
that before his spark goes out,
he will try to shine brightly so those around him can smile.
At least, those who he loves won't be sad any longer.
When Ohms from the other planets look at him,
they will see that Ohm's firework will never go out.
Although we will grow out of childhood,
we will remember him in our hearts.
Because what makes Ohm on this planet special
is that Ohm on this planet is our friend.
STORY BY OHM
This movie...
was made for you, Ohm.
How was it?
I don't want to die, Pae.
I don't want to die.
There are things I still want to do.
I will get better, no matter what.
I'm going to do everything.
You will get better, dear.
I will.
Ohm, ma'am, if you will excuse me.
- Bokeh! - Don't run, sir!
Bokeh!
What the hell are you doing?
I'm doing what's right.
Ohm has watched his movie already.
And no one else will ever get to watch it.
That's it and everyone wins.
But I won't win!
And why am I the one screwed up?
Joe was the one who was an ass.
Let him receive the karma he had done.
Didn't you enjoy lying to everyone about being Joe's best friend?
Aren't you going to protect your best friend?
A dead person's story
is really sentimental, right? Asshole!
And most importantly,
you're not the only one who made this movie.
Everyone helped you make it
because they thought you're really doing it for Joe!
Hey.
What the hell is it with you and Joe?
Am I not your friend as well, you ass?
Why do you keep protecting that jerk?
He wouldn't know what you're doing for him.
Just in case you already forgot, that bastard Joe is already dead.
He's dead, but I'm still here!
Do you know
what the hell I am to Joe?
I am his friend.
- But I'm not your friend! - Hey!
I hate you.

Pae, we've extended your deadline to tomorrow.

Well...

What? You said the computer's mine.
So I synced it to my cloud
and pulled the movie file out.
Hey, shit!
Thank you so much!
Damn, I love you!
What's with all the love?
Yes!
Hey, can you just stop? Listen to me gloat first.
Here, look.
My score got me into Communications Arts.
Damn! That's awesome.
It's really hard to get into this university.
But I've made my decision.
I'll apply to the same university as you.
Working on this movie together was so damn fun.
I want to be friends with you forever.
Yes.
Yes, that's it.
Check the file.
I'm going to get something to eat.
See you.
FIREWORKS AND STARS SHORT FILM
SENIOR FAREWELL
You know,
people will remember 150 friends.
When we grow up,
we will replace someone continuously.
Are you getting sentimental?
Are you trying to tell me something?
Among my 150 people,
you know,
you're the one who makes me feel at ease the most.
Joe.
You're the one I feel at ease the most
when I talk to.
A scientist said
people will remember
a total number of 150 of their friends.
And you know,
among my 150 people,
you're in the top five.
So what do you think?
Do you feel lucky?
I think everyone who's friends with you
are all lucky.
Joe.
Shall we go steady?
Too soon.
I'm going.
My friends will get suspicious.
It's not the time to go public just yet.
But today,
I'll let you tell one close friend.
Yes!
Bokeh.
The bus is leaving.
See you.
Pae.
What?
I have something to tell you.
You'll be the first person to know about this.
I have a girlfriend.
Are you still here with me?
Hey?
Aren't you just a bit excited for me?
Damn it.
You're even the first person I chose to tell.
Here.
What is it?
This is the video I made.
The one you once asked to see.
A SHORT FILM FOR "YOU"
I had a girlfriend once.
But she dumped me.
And started dating another girl.
EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN WITH YOU, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL "LONELY"
Back then I was so angry.
So I...
I slashed that girl with a cutter.
That's why...
I was kicked out of the school.
I really don't want to tell anyone about it.
I feel guilty
and embarrassed.
Hey, but I'm just letting you know. You don't have to console me.
DIRECTED BY PAE
Your video clip is great.
Really?
It's great you're confident enough to show me.
Damn you.
It's great you're not afraid of people thinking your work is crap.
Hey, one day, believe me,
you're going to make great things for sure.
Are you being sarcastic?
I'm not.
I've never said a bad thing about you ever.
Not even when you act so damn annoying.
What?
I'm the one who should be saying that, not you.
Hey.
Don't you know?
Whenever you sit next to me and become quiet and unfazed,
it's so uncomfortable, man.
Or am I wrong?
And then I have to find something to talk about with you every time.
It's so damn tiring.
Fine, I give in.
Thank you very much for telling me.
And don't be afraid that I'll think you're a bad person.
I know you in the way that I do already.
I want to remember you in this way.
Sure.
Shit. Really?
Really.
Damn.

And it's a world where you and I
are truly friends.
SENIOR FAREWELL
WE WON'T FORGET JOE, OUR FRIEND
Congratulations, all seniors.
Today will be the last day
that you will be in this school as students.
I would like to wish for everyone...
- Hello, please have a seat. - Hello.
- Has it started? - It will start soon.
We've just opened the ceremony.
Next, we'll play a short film dedicated to our friend.
I'd like to invite
Parama from Class 8 up to the stage!
Hello, friends.
The short film I'm going to show you
is a movie I made for a friend of mine.
This is Joe's story.
He was born on the seventh of August.
His house is around Min Buri. It's a stationary shop.
He's a friendly person. He always lent his pens to his friends.
And his shirt was always ironed.
In his free time, he liked to read comics.
And Joe's high school life...
ended here.
But after he graduated from Grade 12...
WE GRADUATED! GOOD LUCK... JOE
...he had a best friend.
Joe studied at a university just like everyone else.
Do you have a shirt?
Here, try.
Yes, perfect.
Is it okay?
Okay, Ping. Ready? Three, two, one...
Joe fell for a girl
and gave her his heart.
Put the wig on and you'll look pretty.
Of course he didn't get her.
Is it okay?
Of course.
It's me you're talking about.
What's next?
Let's go.
Joe was heartbroken for the 100th time.
Why?
He always had a good cry with the same best friend.
- Do you get me? - Yes, I do.
I've tried everything.
TEACHER'S OFFICE
Joe got an office job after he graduated.
His life was very ordinary.
- Is it okay? - Yes.
But he tried to save his money until his mom could live comfortably.
And in the end...
Let's get married.
Joe proposed to his girlfriend.
Yes.
LET'S GET MARRIED
She is the same girl he really liked in high school.
The two had one child together.
Joe.
Good acting.
As for the guy who was his best friend...
Hey, you missed it. I've read up to here, it's so good...
Even though they didn't meet up, they called each other
to talk about the latest One Piece installment.
Hey, Pae. Scoot over to this side.
More.
Do you think it's good?
Yes.
REUNION
There was a reunion.
He met up with many of his old friends.
Many of them had already become successful.
For sure, that best friend
also came.
Hey! Pae!
Bro!
That best friend told Joe
that he also had a very ordinary life.
They talked to each other about their high school.
They tried to be someone awesome.
They dared to make a short film together.
It's so lousy, but I totally love it.
Even though it came out really lousy,
that best friend would like to thank Joe
for making him determined to achieve something
for the first time.
Last picture.
Yes.
Thank you.
I'm glad to be your friend.
One day,
Joe was lying around the house
when he woke up to see a text message.
SEND MESSAGE
SEE YOU, MY FRIEND
FOR JOE
A FILM BY JOE'S FRIENDS
Is his movie bad or am I dense?
Damn it, Pae!
Did you use PowerPoint to edit it?
You just put photos together, my younger brother can also do it.
- That's right. - Pae PowerPoint!
- Pae PowerPoint!
You know nothing about cinemas!
Anyone can do it.
You're awesome.
Pae, you're the real deal.
Thank you.
We're also the audio-visual PowerPoint club.
Pae.
All right, stop making fun of your friend.
It's impossible for us humans to be good at everything.
Did you just throw this together?
No.
I put my heart into it.
But I like it.
It makes me miss Joe.
Same here.
JOE'S MOM: I'M GLAD THAT JOE HAD YOU AS A FRIEND
Lastly, I'd like to invite the valedictorian up to the stage
to represent the students in their farewell speech.
And we will end our Senior Farewell.
Please, come on up.
