Nong Toom Quotes in Beautiful Boxer (2004)

Jack: But I still don't understand how your parents can be so... accepting... of the fact that you wanna be a girl.

Nong Toom: They know it's my karma. I did bad thing in past life, so I had to suffer in this life.

Jack: Where did you learn that from?

Nong Toom: In the temple, when I was monk.

Nong Toom: It seems like the more makeup I put on, the harder my opponents kick me, so I kick them back harder.

[Nong kisses a defeated, dazed and barely conscious opponent]

Nong Toom: The crowd love it whenever I did that, especially the reporters, but they don't know that I kiss to say, "I'm sorry, I don't like to hurt strangers, but in the ring you have no choice."
