Testo Storyboard
- TAXI! Take me to National University of Singapore, please make it fast coz I got a meeting to attend and I need to be there on time.
- Very good, Madam. Sure, I will take you there. In plenty good time for your meeting.
- FEW MINUTES LATER...
- Do you have a big family?
- Yes, Madam, quite big family—eight children, six sons, and two daughters. Big family! Sadly, my other daughter...Very hard for father when daughter is no good and go against her parents. Today, young people not like us when we are young. We obey. Our parents say don’t do this, we never do. Otherwise, the cane.
- They are only schoolboys and schoolgirls, but they act as big shots, spending money, smoking, wearing latest fashion, and making love. You know or not that young schoolgirls, fifteen, sixteen year old, they go to school in the morning in their uniforms and then afterschool, they don’t go home, they have clothes in their schoolbag, and they go to public lavatory or hotel and change into these clothes, and they put make-up on their face. Their parents never know. They tell their Mom go school meeting, got sports and games, this, that, but they really come out and play the fool.
- One night, I see a girl looking like my Lay Choo, with other girls and some Europeans outside a coffee house but I think, it cannot be Lay Choo, how can, Lay Choo is in school. So, I decided,I will watch that Lay Choo and see her monkey tricks. The very next day she is there again I stop my taxi, Madam, and I am so angry.
- I rush up tothis wicked daughter and I catch her by the shoulders and neck, and slap her and she scream, but I don’t care. Then I drag her to my taxi and drive all the way home
- I lock her up in her room for three days, and I ashamed to tell her teacher, so I just tell the teacher that Lay Choo is sick, so please to excuse her.
- At home, I thrash the stupid food and I beat her and slap her till like hell. My wife and some neighbors they pull me away, and I think if they not pull me away, I sure to kill that girl.
- You make yourself so cheap, when I, your father drive taxi all day to save money for your University.
- Is everything between you and your daughter okay now?
- Yes, yes, everything okay now, thank you. She cannot leave the house except to go to school, and I tell her mother always check, check in everything she do, and her friends--what sort of people they are...
