“Well, if that trick was for me, it didn’t do anything. I wasn’t even surprised let alone shocked. I definitely didn’t think I was out of my mind.”
“Well, Jatuporn sure thought he was seeing things,” said Suthep.
“He looked like the Emerald Buddha was talking to him,” said Kumpee.
The brothers laughed. Suthep farted.
“Bangkok bus exhaust. Plug your nose,” commented Kumpee. Their laughter intensified. Even Jatupon was laughing with them.
“I want to know why Jatuporn is wearing sunglasses,” said Suthep anxious to diffuse their thinking of his odor. Horrific odors were usually attributed to Kumpee and he cared to keep it that way.
“You know already,” said Kazem. “Leave it alone. Why are you wearing that gold chain around your neck?”
“A girl gave it to me” said Suthep.
“What girl? Some girl behind a cash register. Did you pull out a gun and make her believe her brains would be splattered?”
“That wouldn’t have been me. I am a woman lover. I don’t make war,” said Suthep. “Show me your eyes, Jatuporn.”
