Joong regains his senses and looks back ..He opens the door and runs to help the man who is busy collecting his stuff , which fell due to shock ....
J- Oh no! Sorry! Are you okay?
Dunk- What okay? It's a sunny day, right? So, you're driving with your goggles. You made me drop all the vegetables. I just lost 86 baht.
J- 86 baht.
Joong searches his pockets ...Dunk looks up to him
D- It's a lot of money. What are you looking at? Pick up the remaining tomatoes.Come on.
J - Yes.
Joong bends down and starts collecting the tomatoes ....Dunk walks over to Joong's car .
D- Three were crushed under the car.
J- I'll send you the money.Give me your no or address.
D- No. You should be taught a lesson. Bend down. Bend down! And pick them all up.
J- Sorry. .
Dunk tells Joong to pick up all the vegetables which were scattered under the car . Joong tries to get them all out .....Dunk looks at him struggling and smiles ....
D- They are spoilt now ....Forget it.
Dunk gathers his stuff and walks away .
J- I am sorry Mr..
D- That was two days Grocery. You ruined it.
Joong looks at the potato in his hand ...keeps it aside , gets up and opens the car door ...takes out his bottle and stares at it .......
BAR
Joong's news is being played on the news channels ...Bartender is watching it while cleaning glasses...
J- Make me a large.
Bartender- The bar's closed.( without looking at him)
J- ( rubbing his eye) Make me a drink.
Bartender turns around in anger- The bar's......Mr. JA sir, you!( shakes hand with Joong) Sir, I'm a big fan.
J- Make me a drink.( he stumbles while sitting on the chair)
Bartender- Sir. ( tries to help him )
J- I'm okay. Make me a drink.
Bartender- I am sorry, sir. But the bar's closed. The owner's father passed away, So..
J- Father's dead. So, Where can I get a drink?
Bartender- Sir, I can give you drink mixed with coke. No one will know.
J- Forget it. Someone's father is dead. Why cheat. Then, can you tell me if there's a bar around. I'll be grateful.
Bartender- ( thinking) Bar? Oh yes, there's a beer bar just a few paces ahead. It stays open until 2 o'clock. But, that place isn't your standards.
J- I'm not up to my standards, either.
Bartender- What?
J- Nothing. Thank you.
Joong gets up and leaves the bar .....
(my) destinations are not cared for..
the path is lost..
(Someone, you actually) comes and takes me away
only this is my small wish..
This is my surety,
you're mine..Bless me with your grace..
Look this way too..Joong walks to the bar and as soon as he enters he hears his song being sing ...He walks towards the podium where Dunk is singing his song smiling to the audience ...A man walks over to Dunk and hands him some money ...Finally Dunk also looks at Joong and stares in anger ( remembering the accident) Dunk takes the money and keeps it in his bag....But stops and still keeps in his hands staring at Joong....Joong chuckles and keeps on staring at Dunk ...
You're listening, right?
I am crying here..
You're listening to me right..
Why I am crying here..Dunk walks back to his bandmate ( Boom)and hands him the money .
D- Keep this inside.
Boom- What are you doing?
Meanwhile Joong approaches the bartender and orders a drink .
D- He's here.( mumbling curses)
Boom- Who?
D- Don't know. He was drunk and driving. I barely managed to escape.
Boom- He's no-good. Just enjoying for free. Don't look at him. Forget it. The manager's watching. Go on.
Dunk looks towards the manager , smiles and walks back to the podium ....
Time is stopped too,
How and why it happened..
May you just come
like some prayer..
You're the peace of soul..
You're my prayer..Dunk stares at joong , shifts his gaze from Joong to the poster behind " Jeff Satur" then starts enjoying his singing .....Joong follows Dunk's gaze and looks behind too.
Bless me with your grace..
Look this way too..Joong laughs lightly....and enjoys Dunk's singing ...singing along silently..
You're listening, right?
I am crying here..
You're listening to me right..
Why I am crying here..-----------------------------------------------------------------
