Thank you, Teacher | A Butterworks short film

Are your parents here yet? Hello? Your parents? Are they on the way? They are not here. Alright then, let me tell you some of the areas you are weak in. For your math... What's the use of trying? When there's no one who cares? Hey dude! You come back here right... Why are you sleeping when everybody is reading? Do you know that your results are getting from bad to worse? Since you have so much time, that you can even sleep during the reading session. From today onwards, you are going to be the class monitor. What? I don't want. You better buff up and work up your idea. And live by example. Otherwise, I will not rotate the role. Loon, who's going to stand back for roster today? Do you need us to clean the whiteboard? Why are you asking me? It's the class monitor's job to let the class know. Can't you guys settle this yourself? Son, mum and dad will be busy with work today. Sorry we can't be there on your birthday. We bought you some baguette food. So, we'll make it up to you next time. Okay? Mr Chong, I'm talking to you. Why are you late? I overslept. Didn't you set an alarm? Or, you need your family to wake you up every morning? So, where is the homework that was due yesterday? The entire class handed up, except you. And, why is your shirt tucked up? Never mind. Give me your EZ-Link card. For what? Give me your EZ-Link card. I'm going to send you to detention. Report to Mr Govind later. Okay? I want to see your homework in my pigeon hole tomorrow morning. You better step up and stop wasting your own time. Are you sure you want to give up without even trying? You still have a long way to go in life. Hey, guys. Can you guys help in the duty roster? Mabel, can you do it? I don't want to. Noelle. What? Can you do it? It's not like you cared about it before. So, why do you bother now? Right, guys? Yeah. Don't try and act hero. Damn A.S. It's still A.S. Oh, you can move. Elon, what are you doing? Mrs Ho. You asked me to try. I tried. And this shit is what I get. Enough. Sit in the office. Now. I saw your homework in my pigeon hole. And I thought you had finally woken up. What do you think you were doing just now? How can you scream at your classmates like that? Especially when you're a class monitor. Mrs Ho. They were not even listening to me. And why did you give me this class monitor role? Huh? I said I don't want it, right? Or rather, I can't do it. This is my office. If you start to raise your voice one more time, I'm going to call your parents. You want to call my parents? My parents? Call all you want. But I'm so sorry they won't even pick up your call. Because they don't even have time for me. I'm nothing. No one ever cares. No one cares? Am I not trying to help you here? You want to help me? You want to give me more detention, right? Just give me. Or might as well just expel me, please. Listen, Yilun. I assign you as a monitor because I want you to see that potential I see in you. I scold you because I want you to be a much better student. And see what you're doing right now. You are ruining your own future. I punish you because Mrs Ho believes in something you don't believe in. Yourself. Okay, bye bye. Good morning, Mrs Ho. Good afternoon. Sorry, good afternoon. Thank you, Mrs Ho.
