-Thank you, dear sister, brother-in-law. -From now on, it's up to you.

-Aren't you going to take a photo with us? -What about the children?

Grandfather.

Look.

It was in the tree.

Grandma, is there a problem?

Do you know that strange woman?

-Lady, do you need help? -I'm looking for someone.

-May I ask who? -Mind your own business!

-Yun-Yun? -Ting-Ting? You look so beautiful today!

Where is your grandmother?

Grandma, I'm so sorry!

I should be getting married with your child today!

I let you down, I'm sorry!

It breaks my heart to know that I'm not worthy of you!

Stop pushing me!

It's not that bad.

Where is she? Where's that pregnant bitch?!

Daddy, grandma wants to go home.

-Home? -Yes. He's not feeling well.

And tonight?

Where is Xiao Yan?! Xiao Yan, show your face!

Give me back A-Di! You will pay for this!

THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE

Sorry for the mess. We are the Jiangs. I'm Lili.

-I'm Ting-Ting. -Hello, Ting-Ting.

-This is my grandmother. -Hello.

-We are Jian. -Until later. Goodbye.

Ting-Ting, take out the trash before we leave.

-I'm doing it. -It's starting to stink.

-There's some on the counter! -I know.

What did I even come to get?

-How did you find me? -Follow the porters.

-Mom won't like it. -I miss you.

-But I don't call? -I don't see you then.

Come.

Sorry, I'm in the middle of a change.

It's all a mess.

Call this cell phone, Tomorrow I will have a fixed one.

No problem.

Ting-Ting, are you ready?

-What are you thinking about? -I'm sorry about Yun-Yun.

If it's not uncle's fault, It must be Xiao Yan’s.

Don't say that. We barely know her.

I think grandma is right, we cannot accept it.

-Did grandma say that? -No, but he was sad all day.

Did she say anything else?

No, you're just feeling very old. What did she mean?

The groom is coming!

Congratulations for him!

Your wife's brother is a character.

You don't see many weddings with the bride so pregnant.

He's just like that. He postponed the wedding for months...

because this is the day of the year that gives better luck, according to the almanac.

Take off his shoe!

Don't mess with girls!

Pregnant brides are common these days.

We got ready our time too, you know?

Yang-Yang, sorry, this is your place.

The girls messed with him again.

Forget it, eat some.

-So you and NJ too...? -Guess what.

No, thank you.

You women They always arrest men like that.

It still works. It worked for your brother.

Would NJ be such a sucker?

-So what? -Look, speaking of the devil...

Are they talking about religion?

Drink, it's on my brother-in-law.

-Why aren't you eating? -The girls messed with him.

-Look at this new toy. -Leave him alone!

Is it really you?

Still in Taipei?

Now I live... in the United States.

Is it your son?

How cute.

My phone.

He calls me.

Why didn't you come that day? I was waiting so long.

I never forgot, you know?

Sherry! How many years ago! Almost 30.

Well, it hasn't been that long. We haven't graduated that long.

I didn't know you two they still spoke.

We only met by chance. It's good to see you're still friends.

My card.

My husband has business in China, That's why I'm always in the city.

-Keep in touch. -It can leave.

Sorry, I'm out of cards. I always forget to...

Excuse me, I have to go.

-Remember, stay in touch. -I promise.

Today is a really lucky day. I already forgot my first love...

Why do I still remember yours?

What was I actually going to do?

-Do you want tea? -No thanks.

-Is there a problem? -No, nothing.

-It was your cigar, daddy. -Do you see what's wrong with smoking this rubbish?

-But it wasn't... -No? Who was it then?

Whatnot.

Quiet! Quiet! Now the older ones have gotten involved!

Alright, you two should drink!

One for each!

What the hell is this?

It's called a "deep mine"! They will both have water bellies!

-Beer! -More fruit juice!

With betel nuts, eggs and salt!

Baby! Baby!

Congratulations for him!

What is that? Is it raining?

Can you get things out of the trunk?

Otherwise ask dad to take it.

Don't forget the big bag.

Mrs. Jian! Why did it take so long? Go to the hospital, your mother is there!

My mom?

Wait!

Wait!

I'll see her first, NJ. Wait for A-Di here, he'll be here soon.

Have Ting-Ting put Yang-Yang to bed.

I already sent it. You can go.

-What did the doctor say? -It's a stroke. They will have to operate.

I saw her lying on the road, near the trash cans.

Did she fall? Was she run over?

Why were you on the street?

-Did you drive here drunk? -The police drink too!

Don't worry, NJ!

My sister called me and told me what happened.

Mom will be fine, today is The luckiest day of the year!

-She'll wake up soon. -A-Di, it's not that simple.

You don't trust me. But things have changed now.

I was unlucky and had to take money borrowed from you.

Now, my luck has changed. I'll pay soon.

-There's no rush. -Trust in me.

You saw Piggy, my partner.

He will pay me soon, and I will pay the loan the next day.

Ting-Ting took out the trash in the afternoon.

What did mom do near the trash cans?

We don't know if she fell or if she was run over.

My brother says she will recover soon.

Yesterday was the luckiest day of the year.

He postponed his wedding to get married yesterday.

Nothing unfortunate happens. Just for That's why mom isn't dead.

-That's one way of looking at it. -What other way is there?

-Don't complicate things. -Min-Min, how is this?

Didn't I say you need to go to the Chamber?

How does your Master view this?

You should ask yourself.

I spent two weeks in the temple with you...

But I didn't understand his teachings.

I don't think Master would accept me as a disciple.

Two weeks are not enough.

See how busy I am.

How will I find the time?

Maybe I need to be more humble.

Are you saying there's something wrong with me?

Look at Yang-Yang! Look!

My aunt had a big belly like that when he got married.

-Is she fat? -No, guess why.

-What's under the shirt? -A balloon.

One inside the other!

She's coming!

-Concubine. -Is she the concubine?

Quiet!

Stay there!

Keep working.

-What do you have in your hand? -Nothing.

Take care!

-Yang-Yang, she likes you. -Her father will be jealous.

Who is her father?

Today...

one of you brought something ugly for the class. Who was it?

Who brought a condom? Let the culprit arise!

Well, if he won't turn himself in, I will accuse him.

Jian Yang-Yang, it was you. Standing!

-Give the condom. -What is a condom?

Are you making a fool of yourself? Don't laugh! Shameless!

There's no point hiding it. I know everything.

Who is telling lies about me?

Leave it alone.

You only heard that, you didn't see anything.

So I'm wrong, huh?

Do you think I need to see it to know?

I even know which pocket it's in.

Your left pocket. Let's go.

What is this?

A balloon.

Quiet!

This time, it passes...

but be careful!

Drink all the milk. So we'll be late.

You will never grow up.

Good morning, Mrs. Jiang.

Yours is a great school. You are a good student.

Lili is too.

I hear her play every day. It's so beautiful.

I hope it's not bothering you. Do you also play?

-Yes, but I'm not very good. -You better be good with books.

What's the point? Last year's profits are gone.

Everyone makes computers now.

Remember how Did the textile industry fail?

The more we have orders, but we lose money.

Instead of accumulating profit...

you ruined everything with plans amazing expansion.

And what can I do? You guys screwed everything up!

We have a strategy. One thing at a time.

There are always ups and downs in a time of transition.

I'm warning you: Another negative report...

and let's go out of business. What strategy is this then?

Make software? Content?

That's right. It's still a secret.

Have you ever heard of a Japanese man called Ota?

Computer games?

-You were surprised, weren't you? -It's promising.

Okay, go ahead.

We are always at the forefront.

Of course, but they will enter through the pipe if we jump out.

Why accumulate profit if we were ahead?

Our policy was take no prisoners, remember?

-He better shut up. -Why should I?

You were too honest and told him everything.

I'm not like you. We don't even know this Ota.

-We're going to get hurt. -It doesn't come cheap.

-It's a brand. -Let's buy his name...

to attract investors.

A brand? What if it costs too much?

The neck is ours. I'm against it.

Taiwan has the best imitators. Aren't they imitating Ota's games?

I will check. What do you What will they do if we break?

I know. You will retire and stay at home smoking a pipe.

Da-Da, are you moving to San Francisco?

What about you, NJ? All your money is in the firm, right?

-He didn't listen to me. -You don't want to answer.

He has other things on his mind.

I need to go, uncle has arrived.

-Ting-Ting, are you leaving? -Yes, have fun. Goodbye.

I didn't know she was coming to see you.

The two of us are still very close.

It's okay now.

I even asked Ting-Ting to be kind to his new wife.

We didn't get married, but we're still friends.

All these years!

Yes, many years.

-You're so calm. I'm surprised. -Let's work.

Everyone was shocked by what you did at the wedding.

Don't tease me again, okay?

Here, look. Transfer part of our savings to your account.

We made 20 million from Yahoo and AOL.

Part of the value is in a fund.

These documents need your authorization.

And find me a boyfriend. I'm alone now, you know.

Numbers give me a headache.

Lili!

-I heard that your grandmother is hospitalized. -Yes.

-Is it serious? -She's in a coma. It fell.

-I love your grandmother, she is so elegant. -She was a teacher.

-It's your boyfriend. -AND.

Why don't you go talk to him?

Until later.

They need to move it every hour.

So, always change its position.

First on one side, like this, after another.

And put a pillow on her back. That's right.

They hit her on the back frequently.

You can do this when the nurse isn't here.

-Is this for her circulation? -Exactly.

-I think that's all. -Doctor...

when will mom recover? conscience?

Difficult to predict.

Treat her normally, open the window in the daytime...

go out with her in the wheelchair, turn off the lights at night.

And most importantly: Talk to her. Stimulates the senses.

But I'm not optimistic. Prepare for the worst.

Sorry, brother-in-law, not yet I paid what I owed you.

Let it go.

If I forget again, remind me.

I'm thinking about the firm.

Are you in a bad mood?

More financial problems? It's not going bankrupt, is it?

I'm thinking about the meeting with the Japanese, tomorrow.

Damn! Do you owe Japan?

No! What are you saying?

Of course.

Yang-Yang, it's your turn.

From now on, let's take turns talking to grandma.

This way, it takes less time for her to wake up.

Ting-Ting didn't speak to her.

No, but she played the piano, didn't she?

I could show my drawings, but she sees nothing.

But it will listen to you. Didn't the doctor say that?

You have a lot to tell: What happened at school...

or some little secret of yours. You can tell grandma whatever you want.

Why that frown? What it was?

Don't you want to talk to her?

What's the point? She can't see what I tell her.

What? Are you trying to take away the body outside? That's not pretty.

How can you abandon grandma? It's making me angry.

Don't you learn anything at school?

Grandma loves you so much.

You can't ignore it, right?

It cannot!

Wait a little bit. I'll talk to her first.

It's my turn.

Mom, I'm good at talking.

Luck is on my side now, don't worry.

Now I'm rich. The people They ask me to borrow money.

It's not like before, when I asked borrowed and you worried.

I made friends with a lot of rich people.

And...

don't worry about Xiao Yan.

She's a good girl. Serious.

And... what else?

The rest, I think you know.

If you have any questions, you won't be able to do it anyway.

For today...

enough is enough.

You must be tired.

I'll try again tomorrow.

That's it for today.

Grandfather...

Did I forget to take out the trash?

I can't remember.

Grandma, if you forgive me, wake up.

Please.

It's just that otherwise I won't be able to sleep.

Survival instincts are always the same.

Overfeeding can not improve growth.

It may slow evolutionary momentum.

Thus, reproductive energy declines.

Some of you didn't make it make the plant bloom.

They are taking too much care. For example... Jian Ting-Ting.

Jian Ting-Ting!

She stays up all night taking care of the plant.

And you must be relaxed. Did you see how the plants bloomed?

He begins to acquire signs of human life...

start thinking, turns into a living being...

and becomes our most devoted companion.

This is the limitless future for computer games.

We're not over it yet fighting and hunting games...

not because we still don't understand fully computers...

but because we still don't understand ourselves: Human beings.

Our future collaboration may based on these objectives.

This is the way forward. It's unexplored terrain...

so I understand your hesitations.

But this cutting-edge approach puts us well ahead...

from any future competitor. There is much reason for optimism.

This concludes my presentation. Thank you.

Wonderful.

We learned a lot today.

Very good indeed.

No one has dared to try this before, and we have to pay?

I thought we were just buying a brand.

I liked what he said. It's a risk worth taking.

Before you were against it.

It's too expensive, it's not worth it.

I found a local imitation of Ota. It's called Act. Similar, no?

Forget the names. And the performance? Risking little gives little profit.

Better than risking too much and lose a lot.

Don't hire him yet. Invent an apology and send him away.

That's not cool. Who will talk to him?

NJ! Take Mr. Ota to dinner. Tell him we want to hire you...

but play hard to get. Let's save time.

-Why me? -You look honest.

-I pretend, then? -What's wrong with pretending a little?

So is honesty a pretense? And friendship? The business?

Is there anything authentic left?

NJ, don't care what I talked about pretending.

We've been a team since school!

Of course. Why do you think I'm still here?

By the way, Sherry's husband, Rodney Breitner...

is from Chicago. He's an insurance big shot.

It has a good reputation. I had a long talk to her on the phone.

He sent his regards to you.

Call her.

Only as an ex-colleague, not as an ex-boyfriend.

-It's not locked. -You got home early.

I was next door.

Hello, daddy?

Yang-Yang hid the phone, I didn't think so.

It was under the pillow.

We're going to have a natural dinner, Won't you come?

Alright, next time.

I'll let mom know. Okay, bye.

It was my father. You won't eat my masterpiece.

Well, worse for him.

-What's next? -Look at the recipe.

-We ran out of carrots. -No, we have more.

Next time I'll show you my apartment in Shanghai.

My daughter is there.

-My daughter, Lili. Call him uncle. -Call me Allen.

Uncle Allen.

-Are you cooking? -Beautiful apartment.

Hello, Mrs. Jiang.

Ting-Ting, are you cooking too? It's a lot of work, isn't it?

It's fun. It's natural food, have dinner with us.

We go to the cinema.

Great. Wait.

-Allen, make yourself at home! -I am fine.

Are we going to the cinema?

I pay. Take Ting-Ting to see a good movie.

-Is your daughter a musician? -Yes. He's even won awards.

Lots of comedies showing. Which do you want to see?

We can do something else, if you prefer.

-Welcome. Can I help? -A friend of ours...

They are friends of mine.

Hello, Gordinho.

You weren't going to cook?

-What are you doing? -Checking the instruments.

I don't come here every day.

Wait for me in the usual place, are you ok?

"Fatty"? He's so skinny.

Maybe I was once fat.

Don't be upset about waiting for him. He has already waited for you several times.

It's not that.

He will arrive soon.

Do you want to be alone?

I can go home.

All good.

Don't worry, he'll come soon.

Quiet! You're not in your house!

-It seems like you bothered her. -So it is.

Calm. It's not our fault if your boyfriend got bored.

-Leave her alone. -I served in the Army...

I'm not used to it.

Don't worry! I seem rude, but I have a heart of gold.

Leave the girl, go.

Yes, we are very impressed, but...

We think your proposal is very bold.

-My firm needs time... -You're like me.

We don't know how to lie.

My firm, last year...

lost a lot of money.

Thanks. It was unsuccessful.

Because we try to repeat the old way.

They were too similar products, Too much competition.

Result: No profit.

That's why I suggest you let us try a new way.

All good.

If we don't sign the contract, I will understand.

The risk is high when doing something for the first time.

No problem.

But let me know when your signature make a decision.

Let's toast.

Thanks.

This must be fish.

It's strange.

Why are we afraid of the first time?

Every day in life is a first time.

Every morning is new.

We never live the same day twice.

We are never afraid to get up in the morning.

Why?

This is my car.

-The great Renate. -You understand a lot about music.

When I was a child, my family was very poor.

The music made me believe that life is beautiful.

My father listened to music every day, but I hated it.

-AND? And there? -At 15, I fell in love.

Suddenly all music began to have meaning.

Then she left, but the music stayed with me.

Didn't she like music?

Many people think that music is useless.

Can't make money listening to music.

-She thought so too. -That's why he abandoned you.

No. I decided to abandon her.

But, you know, I saw it a few days ago, after 30 years.

This must be your song.

I can almost see her face.

You understand music. Maybe not like the place we're going.

Thanks.

NJ, your father...

must have taught you to play the piano.

No. I have no talent. I was rejected on the first day.

-And you? -I?

I'm not very good.

-Where is he from? It is good. -From Japan. I just met him.

-Plays well for a programmer. -Bring more friends like him.

It's great for the atmosphere in the house. Times are difficult.

Business is bad. Come more often.

Hello. You called the Breitners. Leave a message after the tone.

Sherry? It's me, NJ.

Good thing it's the secretary electronics. I would be speechless.

Da-Da said he spoke to you.

He said you are fine. I'm very happy.

Before, I had heard that his life was difficult.

I thought it might be my fault.

You asked me why I disappeared without explanation for 30 years.

There were many reasons.

Now everyone looks like idiots.

I'm glad you're well off.

I'm really happy for you.

All the best.

I have nothing to say to mom.

I repeat the same things every day.

What did I do in the morning, in the afternoon, at night...

It only takes a minute.

I can't take this.

I have so little!

How can it be so little?

My life is empty!

Every day... every day...

I look like a fool!

What do I do every day?

If one day I become like her...

I will ask the nurse read the newspaper to her.

She's going to hear something new, okay?

-I was busy! -Me too!

Why should I wait all day you call?

-Where were you last night? -I won't tell! Do you think I'm stupid?

-Why should I wait for you? -Give me back my cell phone!

-What are you doing?! -Still asking?

Get out of here!

-Screw you, you nosy bitch! -You're ridiculous!

Yang-Yang, the elevator has arrived.

Don't stare at others like that. It's a lack of education. Annoys.

I wanted to see why she was sad. I couldn't see it from behind.

-How do you know she's sad? -There was a big fight last night.

-I could hear it from my room. -Same?

Daddy, I don't see what you see and you don't see what I see.

How can I know what you see?

Good question. I never thought about that. That's why we need a camera.

Want to play with one?

Daddy, we can only meet the truth in half?

What? I didn't understand.

I can only see the front of things, not the back...

So I can only know the truth in half, right?

You are full of questions today. Let me do one.

Where will we take Mom in the weekend to cheer her up?

You can decide.

Min-Min.

Are you still here?

Nancy.

Where can I go?

Yang-Yang! What are you doing? What are you photographing?

I want to show the mosquitoes to mom.

The mosquitoes? Can you photograph them?

Dad said yes, otherwise people don't believe me.

-It's not at home. -I know, I know.

Your mother and I found that really weird couple.

Is your mother at home? I haven't seen her in a while.

My boss has arrived. Bye.

NJ, your partners are in a meeting with the company Ato.

-They want you to participate. -Act?

-Isn't it Ota? I wasn't warned. -Ato makes imitations of Ota.

Confusing, no?

General manager's office. The president is in a meeting.

Who wants to speak to him? Call later? Thank you.

General manager's office. Mine Boss is here, I'll call you later.

General manager's office. One moment.

NJ, US long distance!

I knew it was you. You take care of the firm.

I'm staying at home. Call if you need me.

It seems like I'm the only one left to keep you company.

When Min-Min was at home, I thought...

that she would solve all the problems. But now...

there is no one to do this, and I don't know when she will come back.

It's difficult for me to talk like that.

Don't be offended, but it's like praying.

I'm not sure that my interlocutor hears me...

and I'm not sure I'm being sufficiently sincere.

Frankly, I'm sure about little else these days.

I wake up feeling insecure about almost everything...

and I wonder why I still wake up...

to face the same uncertainties every day.

Would you want to wake up if you were me?

Maybe Yang-Yang is right. You lived so many more years...

In addition to these questions that We can't answer...

what else is there to tell?

But I don't think you blame Yang-Yang...

for not talking to you.

In many ways, he took after me. Really.

What brand do you want?

-The same. -What was it again?

-This. -This? One moment.

Photo Shida Road, can I help?

What's the last name?

Alright, I'll check.

But what...?

What the hell is this?

I understood.

I understood. That's what they call of avant-garde art. Incredible.

Class, it's time to appreciate art.

-What is it for? -It's art. Expensive art.

-Why is art expensive? -Why did you take so many photos?

Look at him! Our revelation! A rare genius in our school!

Don't you love talking back? You take after your father, right?

Tell him you were caught red-handed.

Call him and ask for help!

Are you scared?

Stay there until he arrives.

And don't make that face! Turn to the wall!

Dare to do it again!

How was it that night?

Lili hasn't arrived home yet?

Can you give this to her?

Nothing.

Lili.

This...

-...it's for you. -Thanks.

-It's from... -I know.

"Wen-Ho Lee from Tainan violated the security code...

and was dismissed from his post at Los Alamos Laboratory.

So far, federal authorities...

did not provide sufficient evidence to accuse him of espionage."

"The Taipei Traffic Commission...

lost the process...

against the French company Matra..."

Let's eat.

Don't like my food?

Did you eat at McDonald's again? Why are you sulking?

They messed with him again. The girls, right?

-The Master wants to see you. -Please come in, Master.

Ting-Ting, Nancy is here! Do you make the tea?

-Did you have dinner? -We just ate.

I'm already saying: Min-Min is doing well at the temple.

The Master wanted to visit them...

to get to know her family better.

Mr. Jian, many people forget spiritual discipline...

that's why you didn't see the signs of Min-Min's problem.

Don't run around naked!

You should go with us to the mountains.

A purified soul helps the gods to answer prayers.

Nothing would help your wife more.

Like everyone, my wife and I we need other people's help.

But maybe I would anger the gods placing too many orders.

If I appeal to them just for things big ones that I can't solve...

I think my sincerity will impress them more.

But I haven't had any problems yet couldn't solve it alone.

These ideas sound interesting.

NJ, they do this work as volunteers.

Your encouragement is important.

-I understand. Do you accept checks? -Of course.

-Thank you, NJ. -You're welcome.

-Your wife is in good hands. -Thank you for all the help.

It's a pleasure.

Lend me some money, I have nothing.

The taxi driver is waiting, I need to pay the fare.

You would die without me.

Isn't that very lucky for you?

The clothes you left are still here.

Are they still useful?

-How did you get into this trouble? -She freaked out and threw me out.

-I went home to NJ. -He kicked you out too?

I still owe him. I was embarrassed to ask...

more money borrowed.

I didn't give 9 million so that pay this debt?

I let Piggy invest. He says the amount has tripled.

Piggy?

I heard that he is on the run in China.

Nonsense.

I won a lot at mahjong at his house last week.

Did you play for money?

I understood. Let's visit him tomorrow to check it out.

Right?

Thank you very much, We're just going to take a minute.

No problem. Close the door when leaving.

-Don't tell anyone I left. -Trust in me.

Chubby, learn from your wife! Did you see how she knows how to deal with me?

Thank you very much.

They don't sleep on point. They cleaned the place.

-How much money do I have left? -Little.

-Didn't we just win 10 million? -Quotes can fall too!

What is that?

So...

I'm broke again.

Why did you trust a guy like Piggy?

Come here. Remember this: Don't trust anyone!

This is rubbish.

It's fucking useless!

-Are you going to skip your audiovisual class? -Leave me alone!

-Here she comes. -Quickly.

-Good morning, director. -What a beautiful outfit.

You little shits! Don't run away! I'll catch you! You bastards!

Warm, moist air rises

when the earth heats up.

At altitude, it condenses in small drops...

-Come in, quickly. -...what creates these beautiful clouds.

They dance silently in the sky to the gentle rhythm of nature.

We often don't notice its beauty.

When they climb higher, in silence turn into hail...

and return to earth.

During the fall, they change their charge from positive to negative.

Close the door, don't just stand there.

Find a place and sit down.

The two opposing forces attract each other...

irresistibly.

In an explosive moment, the two come together violently.

This creates the beam.

Lightning is believed to have created all life on Earth.

400 million years ago, lightning created the first amino acid...

the origin of life. That was the beginning of it all.

I can't help you! You two can't fight like that!

Everyone envied you! They can't do that.

I'm very disappointed. It doesn't make sense.

-I haven't seen her in a while. -Of course! You treated her badly.

Lili is so kind. How were you able to?

Is she seeing other guys?

I didn't say that. You should know.

What a difficult girl.

How is it possible?

How is it possible?

How is it possible? As? As?!

Open the door!

Why is it locked?

Open the door!

Open! Aren't you ashamed?

-How is it possible? As?! -Lili, it's not what it seems!

-What is it, then?! -Listen!

You are my teacher! And you are my mother!

-You should be teaching me English! -Teachers are human too!

-I'll tell the director! -Listen!

-Listen to what?! -Excuse me.

Lili, it's not what you think!

Look here. Let daddy film you.

Still crying?

Look here.

The eyes.

-What it was? Are you moved? -Suddenly, everything seems...

so cruel.

What it was?

Is his horoscope that bad?

You didn't say...

that we can neutralize this with a lucky name?

Everything is fine.

A-Di!

-Congratulations! -You are the first.

Let's go see the baby.

It looks like you, but it's beautiful.

That's what they say. I can't evaluate it.

-To wish you luck. -Thank you very much.

What is his horoscope like? And the name?

The name is crucial. I'm still choosing.

-Of course, it's for life. -Let's have tea.

-Congratulations! Good job, A-Di! -Migo!

I heard you fixed the world...

and made his wife and Yun-Yun reconciled.

Let's drink to this! Take it! Very expensive red wine!

All your former colleagues schoolchildren are relieved!

What a beautiful little baby! It seems more with the mother than with the father.

He is sure?

-Go get the baby photos. -What photos?

Behind the screen, go get it.

I have a good eye, don't I? Hired Xiao Yan when she graduated.

-You should thank me, Xiao Yan. -That's right, it should.

Call Migo here.

Why is that cow here? Did you invite her?

Of course. What is happening?

Why did you bring Yun-Yun?

She said you invited her, and we brought the wine.

-Didn't you invite her? -Do you think I'm crazy?

What a mistake.

We thought they had made peace.

-We were so happy. -Is that what she said?

You weren't so friendly just now?

Forget the past, start over from scratch.

-Let's rejoice. -It's a frame.

-What? -It's a setup, damn it!

Look here. Kick that woman out now!

Wait...

I think harmony is important.

Think about your colleagues' feelings.

-It's for everyone's good. -Nonsense! For everyone's sake?

And me? Where do I stand in this story?

Your behavior isn't helping.

Yun-Yun is a great friend of ours.

-A-Di, your wife is abusing you. -What?!

-Yun-Yun, what are you up to? -She didn't mean that.

-Do you want to ruin the party? -You're ruining it, not her!

Xiao Yan, don’t get me wrong! I'm happy for you both, really.

Am I the villain, then? What did I do to deserve this?

Xiao Yan, listen!

You should be ashamed! Our friendship doesn't deserve this!

It won't go away, no! He is! Do It's been so long since we last saw each other!

Colleagues, ask her to calm down, otherwise Yun-Yun will leave!

It's not right! Xiao Yan us invited! We are her guests!

-It saw?! I'm the hostess! -Don't talk shit!

Who asked for your opinion?!

You bum! This is your fault!

Xiao Yan and the baby leave with me! You will never see them again!

I'll rip your dick off and throw it to the pigs!

Let's get Xiao Yan and the baby out of here!

Have you baptized your baby yet?

His horoscope is bad.

Why was Yun-Yun there?

It was a setup.

Have you been meeting her?

Not exactly.

Xiao Yan was pregnant...

and Yun-Yun and I met a long time ago.

I helped her a little out of courtesy.

NJ Jian, you are a visitor.

How much courtesy.

You are a lucky guy.

Has a beautiful house and an interesting life.

I'm going to take a shower, help yourself to something.

No, I'll drive back.

-Sleep, tomorrow is another day. -I wish!

Go to sleep.

A bad day is over.

It's all over.

All over.

All over.

Damn...

what a mess.

Thanks.

So many empty bottles, damn it.

A-Di! A-Di!

Can't answer while taking a shower?

You're still mad at me, bastard? A-Di!

What are you doing in there? I smell gas!

A-Di?

A-Di! A-Di! What happened?!

Open the door!

The phone! Where is this drug?

A-Di! A-Di, open the door!

What were you doing?

Why did you close the window?

What were you doing? Why didn't you open the window?

Why was it closed?

Why didn't you open it?!

Why didn't it open?

I won't fight with you anymore.

What happened? You looked fine last night.

-Don't scare me to death. -I am fine. What did I do?

I was just going to take a shower. Ask the gas company.

My beeper is going off. What a time to page me.

2773-7557.

It's from my office. Why are they beeping you?

I looked for you everywhere! Still Well, we have his beeper number.

-Why the rush? -The guy is very interested...

-...but he only gave us an hour. -What guy? Interested in what?

-Between. -Do you want someone with an honest face?

You made the deal. Why did you call me?

-Get in there. -You said I'm the devil.

Boss Huang knows everything about Ota.

You hired him, and Huang wants enter the business at any price.

-Today we will work out the details. -NJ is very good friends with Ota-san.

Isn't that right, NJ?

Huang drank with the president all night.

He's resting now. Time is short. Wait here.

Go to Tokyo and hire Ota immediately.

Catch the next flight.

Huang owned arcades.

He knows Ota's games well.

As a legislator, he now defends women's rights...

and the quota system.

Will this make money?

NJ, there's a long weekend...

in Japan. The midday flight was full.

You are on the waiting list. He wants another flight? You're leaving very late.

All good.

NJ, international calling. This person has already called you.

I was traveling, taking care of the business. I'll be in Tokyo tomorrow.

He is sure?

Wait, I'll check.

Which hotel will I stay in?

I don't like being a carrier pigeon.

Why did you look for me again? What did I say last time?

This is for you, Ting-Ting.

Ting-Ting, I need to go to Tokyo tomorrow.

The nurse will come every day, but you will be on your own.

All good?

You came so fast!

There are many daily flights from Chicago to Tokyo.

I know you. You are his music!

-He changed your life, I know. -How do you know?

I only saw him twice, but I found out everything very easily.

Right. When will we hold our meeting?

How long do you plan to stay this time?

-A week. -One dinner is enough for the meeting.

You don't feel like talking business.

-Who said? -I know, I know.

Don't worry. The business wait. No problem.

-Same? -Same.

-Where are we going? -Aren't we going to see your father's school?

Hey, don't ask me. You are young.

Young people always find their own path. The best way.

No, let's transfer from the green line to the blue line.

-The exit is there. -But the map tells us to go there.

No, it's there. The blue line is that way, that is the Chuo line.

This reminds me our first date.

So nervous, I had hiccups, remember?

I've had hiccups since I was a child whenever I get nervous.

I was too nervous to ask why.

I was too nervous to even breathe.

I sweat when I get nervous. In the palms of your hands, even on your feet.

Forgiveness.

Sorry.

Rodney and I don't have children...

but he loves children. Travels a lot on business.

We are thinking about adopting, that way I will have company.

-And you? -I have two.

A girl at school and a boy 8 years old. I love my daughter very much.

She is becoming a woman. I'm jealous...

thinking that one day she will be with someone else.

As for my son, I want to be friends with him.

It is the relationship that I always wanted to be with my father.

-What time is it? -21:00.

It's almost 10pm. It's 8:00 now in Chicago.

And 9pm in Taipei. Let's look for a hotel.

See, it's the same as a crosswalk close to our school.

It no longer exists.

The first time I held your hand...

we were at an intersection train, going to the cinema.

I held your hand, ashamed from my sweaty hand.

Now I'm holding it again.

But in a different place...

in a different time...

-...in a different time. -But sweaty palms are the same.

-Did you like the film? -I thought it was a little too serious.

Do you prefer comedies?

No, but also It doesn't have to be so sad.

Life is a mix of sad and happy things.

Movies are so similar to life, that's why we like them.

Who needs movies then? Better to stay home and live.

My uncle says:

"We live three times longer since they invented cinema."

How is it possible?

It means that films give us twice what daily life gives.

For example: Murder. We never kill anyone,

but we know what it's like to kill someone. That's what we get from cinema.

And what good does that do? If life It's so horrible, why live?

If we are kind to people, they will be kind to us.

-Who needs to kill someone? -It was just an example.

There are other things. For example, he also says:

"There is no cloud or tree...

not to be beautiful, That's why we should be too."

I find this very moving. It changed me in so many ways.

You make it sound tragic.

Shouldn't it be joyful?

Then I got married and had a son, Didn't you know?

But I got divorced after a year.

I went to study in Seattle, I married a Chinese-American...

I had to run away.

That day, I was waiting for a long time.

You didn't show up.

I waited because I knew...

I would be lost if I didn't see you.

I wouldn't know how to follow living! It would fall apart!

Waiting was my only chance.

I waited a day...

Then, one more day...

I asked your friends to find you. There was no response.

You just disappeared.

I left without explaining. I just had Silly excuses, nothing more.

I was so angry.

You forced me to study Engineering.

Did you ever ask what I wanted?

You and my parents were so happy when I graduated.

But I was very sad.

You can't control people's lives others, determine the future of others.

That's sad, you know? And who did That was the one I loved the most!

So you know how Does it hurt inside?

He knows?

Funny...

I'm doing exactly what you wanted me to do.

And you have a much better life than than what I could give you.

You were so naive. I thought that We would end up begging.

-What? You lived behind me. -Nonsense.

You were the one who was always looking at me.

One day I couldn't stand it. Remember what I said?

I remember. "You! Want to talk to me? Speak at once, then!"

Why did you start to like it? of me suddenly, in the gym?

It was much earlier, in primary school.

That's where it all started.

How strange. I just wanted to see you every day.

When I didn't see it, I felt bad all day.

That's why he kept staring at me.

We wore uniforms, but yours looked different.

-In what way? -In a very special way.

Yang-Yang?

You've been in there a long time.

Yang-Yang, what are you doing?

Say something! Why don't you respond?

Hurry up! Get out of there!

What are you doing?

What are you kidding?

Did you fall into the toilet?

What are you doing there?

-Can I use your mother's bathroom? -Of course.

-It must be from the hospital! -I'll answer!

Tell the truth.

What?

Are you going out with Gordinho?

No. We're just friends.

Don't be like that, Ting-Ting.

Of course she talked to me too.

You've known her for a long time. It's her way. You should know by now.

What is she to you now?

Nothing.

In my heart...

there is only you.

That is true?

Don't believe me?

This...

it's not right.

-One of my aunts got married here. -Which?

-It was that summer. -The twist is still danced here.

-Good morning! -Goodnight!

"Good morning"? It's almost time to sleep.

It's the only Japanese word I know.

The receptionist made a face strange when handing you two keys.

Who sleeps in rooms separated nowadays?

Sleeping with someone doesn't mean anything anymore.

-Here you come again. -But it's true.

You took the initiative to take me to a hotel, remember?

I got scared and ran away.

I thought you were going to disappear if I got distracted.

If you surrendered...

you could always charge me that later, right?

Of course.

But when you left the room...

I realized that I didn't love myself anymore.

Do you still think that now?

Do you know what I felt when you left me just now?

That I would never see you again. I don't want to continue like this.

I don't want to continue like this.

I have everything. What am I afraid of?

If I divorced Rodney, I would live well until I died.

We could start over, how about that?

I was very insecure, it was my fault.

Now I have nothing to fear.

-Let's start a new life. -Sherry, you're tired.

Don't go off topic! You're scared, aren't you?!

You never loved me!

-You never loved me, admit it! -Sherry!

Why do I act like this whenever I'm with you?

Why do I always do this? Sorry.

Why do I always make the same mistakes...

knowing that I will regret it for the rest of your life?

Don't apologize. Who understands Are you better than me?

Who understands you better than me?

I think of you...

every day of my life, you know?

Think?

Think... we all need time to think.

Think carefully.

Let's go. This trip was for business.

You overload me with work. I will have to make several trips.

Let me rest, it's a lot.

I'm so tired.

I need to sleep.

I'll pick you up for coffee tomorrow.

Have a good meeting tonight.

Sherry...

I never loved anyone else.

It's not that complicated.

It's actually very simple. I'm going to tell a real story.

One moment, please.

Can you give me a deck of cards?

Yes, but Morita-san forbids gambling here.

Morita-san knows I won't play.

-Why do you want the letters, then? -Two hot sakes.

Yes sir.

When I was a child...

I wanted to be a magician.

So one day...

after watching to a magic show...

I begged the magician...

to accept me as his apprentice.

But he kicked me out.

I was sad. I cried.

And I tried to do the magic he showed.

Choose a card.

Seven of clubs. I like the number seven.

I kept trying and trying.

Two months later, I looked for him again.

He was going to kick me out again, But that time...

I said, "Please! I know how to do what you do."

He laughed at me...

and then I showed him.

How do you do this?

I don't believe. What's the trick?

No, it's not a trick.

I know where this letter is...

because I learned to know where each card is...

at any time.

The top card is the six of spades.

Six of spades? He is sure?

The next one is the eight of spades.

The next one is the nine of cups.

That's right. Which one comes now?

-The three of clubs. -Three of clubs?

Jesus!

I don't have a magic that can save your firm.

Nobody has.

I'm like you. I don't know how to do tricks.

We can work together, but I think...

that your partner wants a magician.

-I think they want... -Don't tell me now, please.

-Why? -Because...

you are a good man.

They're not playing, right?

Who won?

I tried to talk to you all day yesterday.

-Calm down, I spoke to Mr. Ota. -Listen, we close with Ato.

That's what I wanted to tell you yesterday.

With Act? Why? Didn't Boss Huang...?

He defends job quotas I work for women, like I said!

-And Ato is a woman? -And very busty!

Make up an excuse and come back.

-NJ, what do you say? -Nothing. I get it.

NJ, what's wrong? Don't be upset, our problems are over!

We need to celebrate. We didn't promise Ota anything.

-You... you know this hurts! -What hurts?

And our dignity? Mr. Ota is a good man!

And what does this have to do with business?

-Is there no one here? -He left.

Gone.

One moment. I'll check.

Mrs. Breitner left yesterday at night and left no message.

Anything else, sir?

-Sir? -Thank you.

Hey!

I'll go on the back.

I just got back. Where is my mug? I don't think so.

Chubby, don't be like that because of me.

It's okay, we can still be friends. I continue...

Continue what?

You're still cheerful, right?

It's all shit! Life is not like your dreams!

If it were, you wouldn't need to deceive with your love stories!

Get out of here!

Never bother me again! Stay away from me!

Believe me, these things happen.

When the stars align, the gods smile upon us.

When did high tech appear? 20 years ago?

Horoscopes are thousands of years old.

Ting-Ting must have returned.

Here is the extract that proves paying off my debt.

Piggy's bastard is on the run in China.

I ran to his house. It was full of police officers!

The house was empty and closed off.

There I met a policeman and convinced him to let me in.

The creditors had taken everything.

There was only some rubbish left.

But I found a strange stone.

Nobody had understood what it was.

How did you get so wet? Is it all raining?

-Take off those wet clothes. -I had her evaluated...

and the guy's eyes lit up! It was an ancient jade!

An 8,000-year-old national treasure!

I kept to myself and asked the amount Piggy owed me.

The guy wrote the check right away.

It should be worth a lot more!

But it's not good to be greedy.

Get up from that bed. It will stay sick from lying down so much.

Tomorrow I'll pick you up at 7:00.

Walk with me, and your horoscope It will improve a lot!

What is this? For me?

This is me.

It's the back of my neck. Yang-Yang, what is this for?

You can't see her, so I help.

-That's what it's for, then. -For that what?

I didn't do any harm.

Why is it so unfair?

Unless... you haven't forgiven me.

Why don't you wake up?

Please wake up.

Nobody at home. His daughter must be at school.

-What school? -The school for girls.

I'll send a police officer there.

Mr. Jian was staying at home.

The cold front passed through yesterday afternoon.

The weather should remain good until Thursday. Now for local news.

There was a murder this morning in Taipei's Da-An district.

The suspect is a teenager. Our reporter is at the scene of the crime.

This is the suspect. Known as Gordinho...

he is a student at a school upper middle class.

The victim is Chen Lihua, English teacher.

We have secure information that the suspect's girlfriend...

had a relationship sex with the victim.

Police confirm that the victim...

I also had a relationship with the girl's mother.

The mother works at an acquaintance American bank.

She declined to comment on the case.

The security guard remembered that the suspect...

was seen walking around surroundings of the building yesterday.

When the victim left of the building this morning...

the suspect took out a knife from his backpack and stabbed him.

Witnesses say that the scene was horrifying.

I thought it was the nurse. It's 14:30, and she hasn't arrived yet.

I was at the police station.

I don't have the courage to go back to school.

I haven't slept in so long.

I'm so tired, grandma.

Now...

that you forgave me...

I can sleep.

Grandfather...

why is the world so different than we thought it was?

Now that you've woken up...

and see the world again...

Do you notice any changes?

Now...

when I close my eyes...

the world I see...

it's so beautiful...

Dude, it's no joke.

Why would I play with you?

Yes, Migo. I'm not kidding.

My friend... stay calm.

I feel like it's my fault!

If I had arrived earlier...

Maybe that wouldn't have happened.

It's all my fault!

Don't be so nervous.

It's my mother's funeral. Money is not a problem.

Unfortunately, I was gone all day.

The end must have been very peaceful.

Even if someone was At home, I wouldn't have noticed.

Stay in your room, okay? Good boy.

It happened about three hours, around 2:30 pm.

Nothing has changed here. The children are fine.

How was it on the mountain?

It was good.

In fact...

it was very similar.

It was like... talking to mom...

but with the roles switched.

I was Mom, and they were me.

They took turns telling me the same things every day.

Several times a day.

In the end, I realized...

that things are not that complicated.

-Why did they seem like it before? -And truth.

How can I say?

While you were gone, I was able relive part of my youth.

My first impression was that I could...

make things change, but...

they ended up being the same, or very similar.

In the end, I understood that even if I had a second chance...

I wouldn't need it.

It wouldn't even be necessary.

Why did you abandon us?

How could you abandon us?

A-Di and I can't live without you!

Come back to us!

You were right again.

It was a waste of time. The imitations de Ato were horrible.

Consumers are smart, no one buys cheap copies.

Boss Huang is not soft.

Ato is now his lover. Surprise!

She stands half-naked by the pool, and the money comes in.

Smart woman!

Come back, NJ. Return to the team. We've been together for so long.

Staying at home all day it doesn't solve anything.

I killed myself working all these years.

I didn't do it for fun. You know, NJ, I'm never happy.

When you don't love What are you doing, how can you be?

-Can I talk to grandma? -Of course, you can go.

Sorry, grandma.

It's not that I didn't want to talk to you.

I think all I could tell you...

you should already know.

Otherwise, it wouldn't always stay telling me to listen.

Everyone says you left...

but you didn't tell me where you were going.

I think it must be a place that You think I know...

but, grandma, I know so little.

You know what I want to do...

when to grow up? Tell the others what they don't know...

show things they haven't seen.

It's going to be so fun.

Maybe one day...

I find out where you went.

Then you let me tell everyone...

and take everyone to visit you?

Grandma, I miss you...

especially when I see...

my little cousin who doesn't have a name yet...

because I remember that you She always said she felt old.

Then I want to tell him I feel old too.
