Mahathun (Isn't this money?)

My eyes are getting deaf... My ears are getting blind...

Wha...t?.... A beggar who came to destroy our money?

Is he coming to ask money from me?

salli ahuru millē pokuru [ sings a Sinhalese song]

What?

A new one in our region? Everyone is begging like they don't have no other talent.

Brother, had your lunch?

I don't have that much income today. Keep this 20 rupees and get something to eat.

Yay... 20 rupees

[A lottery seller enters]

Someone is coming...

This is the last ticket. I will sell this to him.

Hey... uncle... come here... This is the last ticket.

Prize is forty million. Come uncle, come. Don't have second thoughts, forty millions for 20 rupees.

Come uncle, come. Look what I have. I am the only one who give 40 millions for 20 rupees.

Look uncle... Your fortune line is there in your forehead.

Don't think twice.... Give me 20 rupees and take this ticket.

I am going... Call me if you didn't win. I am going this route everyday. You will not regret.

40 millions for 20 rupees... yay...

Hello Mahathun.. Is your son at home? What do want to buy?

Give me 250g of lentils.

Sure..

Mahathun brother, only lentils?

Yes. Please keep it in the credit book.

Mudalāli [shop owner]... weigh this again..

What? Why is that brother?

Weigh this again...

Give it to me.

See... You weigh it wrong. I asked for 250g but it only has 245g

Don't lie to us man... You are playing with my money...

You are the top people who donate to the temple.. but...

What do you say Mahathun? There can be small errors of 1 or 2 grams. These scales are not perfect man.

You burrow from me and now arguing with me. If you don't want, I will keep this pack of lentils. We can't do business with the people like you.

I don't mind if it's 1-2 grams. It's 5 grams. We consume this 250g of lentils for 1 and a half months. Isn't this money?

What? You eat 250g of lentils for 1 and a half months?

It's useless to go that home.

Why?

Do you think that Mahathun will give us coconut oil?

You don't know me. Once I took feathers from a tortoise (a slang)

Are you are teaching me collecting? Come on.. I will show you how to get oil out of sand. (a slang)

Mahathun uncle...

Mahathun uncle...

He is not coming.

Take this please.

Mr. Grāmasēvaka (head of the village/civil servant)

Take that list of names to give donations...

Seems like no one in the house. Let's go back.

What?... Donations?

I didn't receive the last week good pack. Where should I sign?

Ahem.. Mahathun uncle... grāmasēvaka will come to take the signature.

We don't know that... We came here to collect some coconut oil for the lighting lamps at the temple.

Coconut oil? Those what we eat?

Yes

Oh no!

Mr. Mahathun...

Mr. Mahathun...

Mr. Mahathun is not at home.

You go to other houses and come back again, if the door is open.

What?

Is this how you take oil out of sand?

What just happened?

He is such a character...

Hey hey... son... Why are you hitting those plants like crazy?

I didn't hit the plants... Are you sure?

You are hitting my money.

What are those in the vines?

Muskmelon (kækiri-කැකිරි)

It's not muskmelon... It's my money...

What are those in the tree?

Coconut

It's not coconut... It's my money...

Hey... Elder son...

Watch out the plants.

I saw the plants dad...

Father... I have the flight tomorrow at 8.30 -okay

I folded all the clothes and put them on the bed. -okay

But, I don't have a bag to pack them.

I went to the town to look for a wheeled travelling bag.

Father, the cheapest one worth 6500 rupees.

My son...

To tell him prices, are you mad brother?

Donkey...

How much did you say?

6500 rupees father... -Oh no!

Don't tell him the prices man...

What to do?

Wait... I will come.

Okay... Look for yourself.

Brother...

Yes...

For my 25 years of life, this is the first time our father is giving me something I wanted.

Do you think that he went home to bring money for you to buy a bag?

Otherwise? Look, he will bring 5 notes of 1000 rupees.

I'm sure he doesn't.

If he is not giving me money, I will sell those paddy seeds he stored and buy that bag.

Are you mad? Are you going to kill our father? Don't say these words in front of him. He will die of a heart attack.

How to live like this? Father is coming...

Son...

Put your non-valuables into this bag and tie it.

Put all the valuables into this one.

You are telling me to take these two in plane?

Don't waste money son..

I forgot... son...

Where will you put these bags on the plane?

I will put these on the overhead racks.

Are you crazy?

Keep them with you. Are you letting others to steal your goods?

Isn't it son?

Yes.. dad..

What?

Yes...

I thought it's another expense.

Mallika... (Mahathun's wife)

Don't cook for the eldest son from tomorrow onward...

Why are you laughing?

Mallika... What are you cooking for dinner?

There's nothing to cook in the kitchen.

I sent the youngest to get some chicken.

What? Chicken? Chicken are too expensive men.

Son...

Hey... son... Stop!

Take out the money your mother gave you.

Look.. How you keep it... Isn't this money?

What is this dad? We had no chicken in 6 or 7 months. You are so greedy...

What? Did you have chicken before 6 or 7 months?

Mallika... From where did you get that money?

Mallika...

Hm...

Chicken is like we are buying diseases from a shop.

Now.. What do you have to cook for dinner?

We only have brinjals and lentils.

Don't cook brinjals. Cook lentils only.

How much do you cook?

Only a half a cup.

What? This woman has came to bankrupt me.

What did you say?

Let me show you how to cook?

Mallika... What is in this bag?

lentils.

No.. No... money.. money...

Take a small amount in your palm. Mallika, now you seem to have some extra.

Put the extra back in the bag.

And put them in the pot. Don't waste. Wipe your hands.

Next, mix all the spices, but don't add turmeric powder. Turmeric powder is expensive.

Then, put it on the stove... What more do we need?

So, Don't we add coconut milk?

What? Should we add coconut milk?

Add just a little and put it on the stove. Don't waste.

Okay, you cook...

Mallika... Don't add filtered water. It costs 1 rupee to filter. Just add normal water.

Mallika... I am just asking. Are you hungry? Do you really want to have dinner?

I ate porridge for breakfast. There was no lunch. Don't we have dinner too?

Look at you ... you are fat because you eat too much.

I know that someday you all will make me a beggar.

Isn't this money?

[The lottery seller enters]

Didn't you say that I will win a 40 million rupees?

Keep this ticket. Not a single number matched.

No.. No.. they match.

Give back my 20 rupees.

Okay... okay.. I will give the money. Please release me. Here is your 20 rupees.

isn't this money?

Yes.. it is money... Did I say it's not?

Don't waste money man..

I have never seen such a customer in my life.

Mallika ... Should we go to your brother's funeral in this early morning?

Why not..

Son.. Do we have to go?

What are you saying dad? We didn't go there in ages.

There's a funeral there. So, we must go. You are so greedy.

You say... But it's a waste of my money.

Hey dad.. I can't lock the door.

The lock appears to be broken.

How much is a lock?

It costs about 2500 rupees.

We can not replace the lock at this time.

Come here.. Come here.

Son, No one else knows that the lock is broken except you, me and mom.

I can not spend my money at this time.

Let's do this. Mallika... Let's clamp the door with a hoe.

End of story. Mallika... You go.

Now, the work is done without spending a single penny.

Let's do like this son. 60 km is not too long. Let's walk the three of us.

Oh! dad you will never grow up.

Mallika.. come here.

Look mom, it's 10.30 pm already.

If we catch that tuk tuk on the road, we could come early.

What about tuk tuk son, he didn't even buy us food.

What is this? I will not go anywhere with you again.

What?

Who opened that door?

Son, see if it's your brother?

It shouldn't be dad. If he comes, he should call us.

Yes... he went abroad.

Looks like it was a robbery.

What???? Please take a look.

Looks like they took our valuables.

Oh my god! All the jewelry is gone.

I have lost my jewelry because of this greedy man.

Mallikaa...

Are you happy now? The treasure crate is also lost.

Son...

Mallika...

Son...

Daddy... why why?

I have a pain in my chest.

Take this first.

What are those?

These are pills from the pharmacy.

Set them aside for emergencies.

Please listen to me dad... Take these first.

Do you have no water? Just give me a glass of water.

Daddy.. Daddy..

Daddy.. Daddy..

Wake them up.. wake them up..

Brother.. brother.. brother

The country is open. It will be a disaster now. We are the ones who suffer.

Brother.. We brought a patient here. Please wake up.

Hey brother..

Why?

Where are you going?

To the mortuary

My dad is not dead, man.

So, let's go to the ward.

Brother.. You go home. I will admit my dad to the ward first.

I will pay your fee of 500 rupees tomorrow.

It's Okay brother.

What??? Son, did you give this tuk tuk driver 500 rupees?

I fed you since your childhood but, couldn't you carry me on your shoulders.

Isn't this money?

What rubbish are you speaking dad?

Hurry up... hurry up...

What is the relationship between you and this patient?

Doctor... He is my father.

Right... The patient's condition is not so serious.

But, you need to do a few outside tests,

because we don't have facilities in this hospital.

It will cost around hundred thousand rupees.

What???? son...

How much? Doctor.. How much?

It will cost around 100 thousand, father.

What?? 100,000? You are a fake doctor.

You came to waste my money ... You will die from this stethoscope exploding in your ear.

Son... my chest...

Mallikaaa...
