You have to pay your class fees this month.

You have to pay your class fees this month.

Hey, you have to pay your class fees.

You have to pay your class fees this week.

You've stalled long enough.

You have to pay your class fees this week.

I know you can hear me.

This week?

You should pay the fees by tomorrow.

Don't pretend like you can't hear me.

Stop being so childish.

If you don't pay it by tomorrow.

The semester is going to end soon.

Don't pretend like you can't hear me.

If you don't pay it by tomorrow.

The semester is almost over.

Pay the fees! So childish!

Come on!

By tomorrow!

Guys, I called the meeting because...

The class fee thing is getting out of hand.

He ruined my golden boy image.

Called me childish in front of some girls.

And demanded I pay the class fees tomorrow.

But...

We finally have a solution for...

...not being able to pay.

Today I...

Where is the van?

Running late today.

Can we make it to the briefing?

So how was your flight to L.A.?

Not bad, nice hotel.

How about you?

I never sleep well on the flight.

My body clock is a mess recently.

Did you take Melatonin?

Today inside the school's storage room.

I found a statue.

A metal statue.

This tall, this big.

This big.

If we stole it.

No one would ever know.

And...

I don't need help.

I can walk just fine.

I walk on my own.

Let me help you.

Take your hands away.

It's fine, I can walk slowly.

I can walk slowly.

I can walk.

If we stole the statue.

No one would ever know.

And then we could sell it.

It's worth around 20,000 NT dollars.

Split it up, that's 5,000 each.

We can pay the 2,000 class fees.

And still have some leftover.

Are you guys in?

I'm in, too.

How much is this?

900 NT dollars.

900? It isn't even that popular.

How much is this?

600 dollars.

600? It's a has-been already.

Has-been how? How?

How much is this?

400 dollars.

400? It's so ugly.

Ugly? Ugly how?

What's ugly about it?

Okay, okay.

The one below.

With the blue hair.

It's only 90.

We'll take it.

Are you sure?

The plastic is really cheap.

Don't wear it too long.

Or you'll get a rash, very itchy.

Hey, is your face itchy yet?

Is yours?

Let's wait a while longer.

And see how itchy it gets.

This should work.

Maybe it will.

This should work.

Maybe it won't.

Whatever.

What do you want to do then?

How much do you weigh?

45 kilograms.

How much do you weigh?

40 kilograms.

- Huh? - 40!

How much do you weigh?

About 48 kilograms.

Let's stand for a while.

See how much weight it can take.

In the orange dress and yellow pants.

She's the school janitor.

She's got the key.

The key to the storage room.

Walk over there slowly.

Pretend you're interested in the folk dance.

And start talking to her.

See if you can get the key from her.

Me?

Yes, you.

Why me?

You're the only one of us...

...who can attract a middle-aged lady.

You're the hottest one.

I'm hot?

You have to say it out loud. I'm hot.

Say it a few more times.

I'm hot.

I'm hot.

So into it!

Okay, let's start the trial run.

Put on your masks now.

Now, put the statue onto the cart.

Okay, good.

Let's head out.

We only have one hour.

Before the guard finishes his TV show.

To get the statue out of the school.

Once the statue is outside.

We'll push it towards the empty lot.

Right underneath the tree.

In a dark corner.

I'll borrow..

...a truck.

Once we put the statue on the truck.

We'll turn it around.

And drive to the steel mill.

We'll sell the statue.

Get enough money for our class fees.

And even a little extra.

And then all our problems.

Will finally be solved.

Wow!

Run through it again!

We have only one hour.

Before the guard finishes his TV show.

Before he starts his patrol.

We'll get the statue out.

And once it's outside.

We'll push it towards the empty lot.

Hey, come back.

Hey, come back guys!

What is it?

A notebook.

I found it on the ground.

Looks like someone has the same plan.

What should we do?

If we hide the notebook.

He won't have his plans.

Yeah, hide it, hide it.

Hide it? He can just rewrite it!

Then let's rip it up.

Or even better, burn it.

Yeah, burn it!

Burn it? Good idea!

But he can still rewrite it, idiot!

Well, whatever.

What do you think we should do?

Why are you putting it back?

Whoever lost it will come back for it.

And then, we'll know who he is.

So what if you know who he is?

If we know who he is..

We'll know when he's going to steal it.

And we'll steal it the day before.

Or even just ten minutes before he does.

Problem solved!

How much longer do we have to wait?

Hey! How much longer do we have to wait?

A while longer.

Maybe..

...he doesn't know he lost it here.

Or maybe he thinks...

...he lost the notebook...

...in the school hallway.

Hurry.

Let's wait a while longer.

Maybe...

He doesn't knew he lost the notebook here.

Maybe he thinks...

...he lost it near the storage room.

Classmate, my name is Lefty.

As in the left side.

Are you following me?

Me? No, I'm not following you.

At what stop are you getting off?

One of the next few stops.

Which one?

Gongguan.

Gongguan

This is Gongguan station.

I'm going to Wanlong.

Wanlong

This is Wanlong station.

I'm going to Jingmei.

So now you're going to Jingmei?

Get off the train.

I'm going to Jingmei.

Get off the train, now.

You hear me?

Acting tough?

I'm not acting.

So you think you really are tough?

That's right.

What about it?

You better be careful.

I can turn you in.

I know what you're up to.

You know what I'm up to?

So? What am I up to?

Hey, what am I up to?

Hey! What am I up to?

Talk.

What am I up to?

What exactly am I up to?

In the storage room at school.

Hmm.

There's a metal statue.

Hmm.

Don't touch it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come on.

I've read the notebook in your bag.

Don't pretend like you don't know.

You can't take the statue.

Why not?

It's just sitting in the storage room.

No one wants it.

Right, no one wants it.

Even if it's gone, no one would know.

We're practically recycling it.

But you can't take...

We are practically recycling it?

Right, we are recycling it.

We?

We.

We?

We..

I can't, because you also want to steal it.

No, I don't.

You do, you want to steal it, too.

No.

Yes.

No.

I don't want to steal it.

I don't want to steal it.

I don't want to steal it.

I don't want to steal it.

Right, I want to steal it.

So you can't.

Right, I want to steal it.

So you can't.

I found it first.

I'm the one that found it first.

When did you find the statue?

When did you find it?

I need the money more.

No, I need the money more.

I have to pay my class fees.

I have to pay for my graduation trip.

You only need it for a graduation trip?

You only need it for the class fees?

I'm poorer than you.

I'm poorer than you.

I only eat one meal a day.

Just to save money.

I didn't get to eat any meal today.

I only had free samples at the supermarket.

It's not just me, my whole family is poor.

So now what? We're comparing families?

Right, families.

This side.

That's my grandma.

And our neighbor.

And our neighbor's kids.

Where my grandma is sitting...

...is also where I sleep.

That table...

...is just a door we found on the street.

Grandma makes 50 cents for every flower.

She has to make 4,000 just to earn 2,000 NT.

It would take her two weeks.

I just can't ask her to pay my class fees.

It's your turn.

Let's see how poor your family is.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Get on the scooter.

Get on the scooter.

This is my home.

My grandma ran off.

My mom ran off.

Everyone in my family has run off.

The bed ran off.

The table ran off.

Anything with legs ran off.

Your family isn't even close.

My family wins, we're the poorest.

Oh yay!

You're proud of that?

Really proud, huh?

You brought your classmate to take a tour?

Is that it?

Are you proud?

So proud, huh?

Really proud, huh?

Brought your classmate to take a tour?

So proud.

Son beats dad!

My son beats his own dad!

Help!

My dad hits people!

Yay!

My family wins! We're the poorest!

Oh yay!

The statue is mine, right?

It's my treat.

The statue...

...is definitely mine, right?

You sleep here at night?

If I don't go home.

I sleep here.

Aren't you scared?

Of what? Someone stealing my money?

Now it's clear.

The statue is mine, right?

The statue can't be yours.

You want to compare some more?

No need to compare anymore.

But...

Do you want to join us?

Do you want to join us?

Make sure no one sees us.

The landlord moved out a long time ago.

We just put our stuff here.

This mask...

...makes your face itchy.

That's why it was so cheap.

But with this mask on...

...the school's security cameras...

...can't tell who I am.

This key...

We had to sell ourselves to get it.

It can open the storage room door.

Leaving no traces of breaking in.

No one would ever notice..

...the statue is missing.

This cart...

We didn't just find any cart.

This can support about 300 kilograms.

We can put the statue right on it.

And push the statue out.

This is the TV schedule for that night.

They're airing the final episode.

Susie realizes Ken truly loves her.......

So she won't get on the plane...

Wow, what a cheesy climax!

The guard will be glued to the TV.

For at least an hour.

He'll have no idea.

The statue's already outside.

This truck...

That's right, we even borrowed a truck.

And practiced driving it.

Honestly.

We're much more prepared than you.

Do you want to join us?

Do you want to join us?

You can always crash on this couch.

No need to sleep in the park again.

Do you want to join us?

If the phone rings, don't answer.

If the landlord comes at night.

You can run out the back door.

Classmate, my name is Lefty.

As in the left side.

Hey, A-Zhong.

Get up.

I'm at Fuyuan Street, Section 2, Number 4.

Write it down.

Bring A-Man and the others, too.

To move some stuff.

To move some stuff, okay?

Five.

Very good.

Six.

Okay, seven.

Very good.

So last night.

I found the kid who owns the notebook.

He goes to our school, too.

He insists that the statue is his.

But of course I said it's mine.

But then...

...I decided to let him join us.

Join us?

Hey.

Who said you could do that?

You invited him without..

...even asking us first.

Why?

His family is really poor.

A lot of families are poor.

His family is poor, and his dad hits him.

- My dad hits me too. - Kids, pay attention.

The basic moves you just learned...

...can actually be combined.

All together.

His dad hits him like a pro.

I'll show you how to do it.

His dad really kicks and punches him.

Just like this.

Look out.

Look out.

Hey, I brought some guys to meet you.

I just found this and this.

He stole everything?

This is it?

I have to folk dance again?

Oh, what should we do?

What should we do?

Ask him! This is all his fault!

Don't worry...

Walk to another place?

Is that your only plan?

Not to worry guys.

We'll leave the mask here.

He'll definitely come back for it.

When he comes back.

We can grab him.

Put it back on the ground again?

Is that your only plan?

Let's go.

Let's go!

Come on!

Why are you scaring the kids?

Why scare the kids?

Is this your idea of fun?

You're sick.

Don't cry.

Look, it's just Lefty.

It's just Lefty.

You couldn't tell because of his mask.

See?

It's just Lefty.

You couldn't tell because of his mask.

It's just Lefty.

Stop crying.

Stop crying, so noisy.

You guys are finally here.

Our problem is solved.

We won't have to get back...

...those stolen supplies.

In fact, we don't have to do anything.

After they move the statue onto the truck.

We'll just drive the truck away.

That's it!

Yeah, right.

They'll let you just drive it away.

Of course they won't.

But...

Of course they won't let me drive it away.

But if I'm wearing this mask.

Who am I?

Who am I?

You're Lefty.

Of course you can tell.

But they can't.

They'll think I'm one of them.

So I can drive the truck away.

It's called a double-cross.

Then what should we do?

You...

Okay guys.

I'll have to warn you.

Things can go wrong with any operation.

If for some reason I can't get to the truck.

And can't drive it away.

Then you have to drive it away.

And if you can't get to the truck.

And can't drive it away.

Then you'll have to drive it away.

At least one of us will drive it away.

This is a new operation.

Are you guys in?

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

This is really hard to do.

Still here?

Time to go home.

Okay, bye.

This is taking too long.

The TV show will be over soon.

I'm going to take a look.

Maybe something happened to him.

I'll go take a look.

Let's both go take a look.

The statue's too heavy. They can't lift it.

What should we do?

Haha.

Come on.

Come here.

How about a kiss?

No.

- Just a little one. - No.

There's no one else around.

No.

- Told you there's no one here. - No.

Forget one kiss, how about two?

Forget two kisses, how about three?

No, I don't want any.

I am shy.

I told you there's no one...

No, please! I'm a good person!

This way.

This way.

What if...

...we're going to die here tonight?

Who are you?

Who are you?

What do you want?

Take off your mask.

Get down here!

Hey, open it!

Hey, what happened to you?

What happened to your leg?

Are you okay?

Where is the statue?

You really hit me.

Hurry!

Statement of Repentance

This is your statement?

This is all you wrote?

You want to go back to the police?

Shouldn't you write a longer statement?

Sit down and start over again.

From the beginning.

Write longer.

So you want to go back to the police?

Or do you want to write...

...a longer statement?

Okay.

Go back and start over again.

From the beginning.

Yes.

I thought this was good.

Turns out you are the one...

Turns out you are the one..

...that want to go back to the police.

Your statement..

...should be a lot longer.

A lot longer!

Understand?

Start over again.

All of you, start over again!

From the beginning.

Wow! 3,000 words.

From the beginning.

Hey, what is the beginning?

Should I start with my folk dancing?

Is that the beginning?

How about when we bought the masks?

That should be the beginning.

I started with last week.

When we first found the statue.

That is the real beginning.

Only last week?

We found the statue last month.

That is the real beginning.

Only last month?

I'll start from this semester.

When we couldn't pay class fees.

I'll start from last-semester.

When we couldn't pay for graduation trip.

That's even earlier.

I'll start from last year.

When my dad can't pay the rent.

Last year?

I can start with three years ago.

When my dad's factory shutting down.

You think your dad's the only one?

I can start with a long long time ago.

When my dad's factory shut down.

What about it?

I can start with my grandpa lost his job.

I can start with my grandpa's grandpa...

I'll start with my grandpa's grandpa's...

...grandpa's grandpa's grandpa.

Shut up, you idiots!

You shut up!

Shut up!

You shut up!

Shut up!

You shut up!

Shut up!

Enough already!

Forget our grandpa's grandpas.

Even our children's children...

..are doomed to be poor.

Did students from your school do this?

That is still under police investigation.

We're still discussing their punishment.

Do the students know they made a mistake?

They know, definitely.

They definitely know.

What's so funny?

What do you know?

You don't know shit.

I know how to folk dance.

I really know.

This is folk dance.

They know, definitely.

They definitely know.

Whatever.

But...

I know how to become hot.

How?

You have to repeat with me.

Repeat with me.

- I'm hot. - So Stupid.

A statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen was left...

...in the middle of the road last night.

According to the police.

This might have been a prank...

...by students of a nearby high school.

Or maybe this act had a specific meaning.

Now let's hear what the...

school's discipline officer has to say.

Did students from your school do this?

That is still under police investigation.

We're still discussing their punishment.

Do the students know they made a mistake?

They know, definitely.

They definitely know.

Thank you.

You're pretty smart.

I'm pretty good at fighting.

We should team up.

To do something bigger in the future.

I know.

We can't be doomed to be poor.

I know.

Our children's children..

...can't be doomed.

Classmate.

My name is Lefty.

As in the left side.

Classmate.

My name is Sky.

As in up in the sky.
