Original subtitles

Some say the ocean never used to exist in our world

it was formed by...

...the wandering tears from people's sorrows

I just had a dream

you are awake?

I was about to drown

it was not a dream

you came very close

you cut somebody off

the surfer was about to complain

but then you got sucked under the wave

why did you try to kill yourself, cousin?

I didn't, I was just...

Women, right?

Just find someone else!

Nowadays it's common for women to cheat too

when it happens

we just wave goodbye

why do you need to kill yourself?

I warned you about carman

thin lips

you know you can never trust a woman with thin lips?

You have me and your buddies

everybody came to visit you these past two days

we even wrote you a greeting card

what do we need in life?

Friends who understand and love you, right?

You cannot blame us

who could have guessed that

you would try to kill yourself right before your birthday?

Where are we supposed to get a card for that?

- Hi! - He is awake

- hi! - You are awake!

- How are you? - I am glad you are okay, bro

and for the time being

don't go surfing again

you might get emotional

why don't you lend me your surfboard

what's wrong with you?

Sean, drink some soup

my mom says gingseng soup is good for your recovery

I tried several pharmacies but couldn't find the best

- drink it - no, I don't have any appetite

how can you be like this?

Just have some!

Forget it, don't mind him

it's up to you if you don't want to drink it

hey bro!

See how much we care about you?

Don't mind him

not every woman

ls as bitchy as carman, okay?

- Exactly! - Like Lulu

she has been by your side the whole time!

Beautiful!

How about that, bro?

I have decided to organize

a 5-star party to cheer you up

you can have as many women as you like

as crazy as you fancy

- ouch! - Crazy? How so?

It's for him!

Oh, wait

you look happy! You do!

- You are happy? - You are happy?

- You are really... - You are happy?

I spent three hours on this

and you are happy because of that party?

Cheer up party!

hey! Sean, don't give up!

Sean, do your best!

- Hey man! - Hey!

Take it easy, we're all here to support you

okay.

- Hey!Sean - hey! Connie

how're you doing?

- How're you feeling? - Good

these people helped me through my divorce

I'm sure they can help you too, give them a call

okay.

They are...

This is...

Look, your friend Matt

launched a fan page for you

and tagged all our co-workers

I "liked" the page too

it has pictures and clips from your rescue

when will master be back?

He is already here, right upstairs

master

whose board is this?

Andrew's

it's too narrow!

But master, according to the quotation, it says 12 3/4

we've seen him surf before

he uses his right foot more

its volume needs to increase or it won't go forward

how are you?

I really wasn't trying to kill myself, master

I know you weren't

they all said you were, but I know you weren't

it was a problem with your technique

concentrate on boardmaking, don't surf anymore

master, you are so good at surfing

and at boardmaking

I should learn from you and be good at both too

you cannot force it

everyone's fate is different, we each walk a different path

I've surfed a lot but have suffered many injuries

that time when the board hit my head

I received a message from god

he said, "stop surfing"

maybe he is telling you the same

hey! Don't force it! Stop surfing!

But you were already a champion then

I'm still so bad at it

who would trust a boardmaker who couldn't surf?

Come on

I spent half of my salary on these angels

I never asked for it

I'm too tired to play around now

but I have kept the best for you

so you can experience a world full of women

don't hang yourself over one tree

enjoy yourself tonight!

Make sure he drinks all of it

you got it

hi, Daisy

don't look if it makes you upset

I'm not upset, why should I be?

Who is he to me?

Plus I have no control over him, right?

Cheers! Cheers!

Cheers! Cheers! Yeah! Yeah!

Wait, wait

- what are you laughing at? - What?

Why are men like that?

We can just throw a small party for him

what now? This is nasty!

Miss Lulu

you guys have known each other for years

if he's into you

he would have been yours already

how dare you!

Stop that, okay?

I am just telling the truth

fine, I call this a drug for a drug

you see, carman has hurt Sean so badly

typical methods won't comfort him

so we should use the most absurd

tastiest, most heavenly activity

to get him out of his devestation

do you need this treatment too?

Of course not!

I have you

Sean

he's too drunk, okay?

You can take a break

I can drink!

Okay! Okay! One by one

one by one

hi

hi, I'm...Sean

pua

pua

hi

- hi - hi

can you do me a favor?

You speak Chinese, right?

Can you do me a favor?

I said can you do me a favor?

What favor?

Just trust me once okay?

I always drink until I black out

but that night

when I heard the world "trust"

I sobered up immediately

carman's face appeared on my mind again

-i...L... - Just trust me once okay?

- You... - Yeah! Third time!

Thanks

hey...

Each girl makes a different first impression

some are sweet, some are spicy

but this girl brings you pain

her lick stung my face

now that I think about it, i should've taken this as a sign...

I have never come across such a situation

"one week later"

what do you mean?

Let me tell you a secret

I'm a nail clipper monster

what monster?

Nail clipper monster

what?

Nail clipper monster

got it?

Why is it so difficult to accept the existence of nail clipper monsters?

There are so many different species in the world!

Nail clipper monsters are just like the mermaid, bigfoot, or werewolf

no one believes we are real

but compared to those creatures

we are the closest to human form

we just eat differently, and are practically harmless

besides, it's humans who use our food as nail clippers!

It's heartbreaking

"a week ago"

is departing cruel? Or is gentleness despicable?

Doesn't matter to loners, no day, no night, no desire

a step forward is dusk, a step backward is life

fierce winds, raging waves, the unbalanced heart has nowhere to run

hardly has one wave subsided when another rises

stormy weather in the ocean

one wave has not caught up, another one has gone

life has just awaken

the deeper the pacific ocean, the deeper the heartache

I used to think

love is like surfing on pipeline

it is astonishing

but now I think

maybe the shore suits me better

living alone peacefully

hey! Ls Gavin here?

What's up?

I got your board

sweet

please sign here

thank you

it looks great, I love it!

I'm glad you like it

thank you

hi

- hi - hey

hi! He)'

what brings you here?

You work here?

Yes, isn't it cool?

Cool

you...

That other day, why did you...

Lick me? You never explained

we were playing games that night

and I drank a bit too much, so I...

To be honest, these past two days...

My face has been itchy, i wonder if your saliva is...

Hahaulu.

Actually. . . I . . . Regret it too

I've never seen a guy who drinks like you

with alcohol all over your face

I...Almost got drunk just from licking it

a new boyfriend?

No no, I've just licked him

that's too much information

where are you going?

I'm heading west

same here, let's go

- you're a boardmaker? - Yeah

then you must be great at surfing, right?

Let's not discuss that

boardmaking and surfing are not necessarily related

just like you being a tattoo artist, you don't tattoo yourself, right?

I tattooed myself

no way, that's impossible

your tattoo is all the way up here!

What I have learnt is not typical tattooing

I spent a year and a half studying with the java tribe

so that I can tattoo myself

- java? - Yes

they have one tradition

when you turn 18

one has to tattoo themselves with a pattern of their choice

the more complicated the pattern the braver you are

I was the only girl who did it

so I'm the bravest

impressive

so you've always wanted to be a tattoo artist?

Not really

when I was studying art in Paris

I always sketch by the riverside in seine

you have many interests

right, that night...

The girl who was with me

she is my cousin

whenever we are high

we tend to come up with silly games

did we scare you?

So who was the winner?

I don't remember, we were so drunk that night

- you forgot? - Yeah

then how can you recognize me?

Of course I can

when I licked you, i noticed that the taste was especially weird

didn't you say it's alcohol?

Apart from the alcohol, it's salty and...

Actually...

I had just been discharged from the hospital

I...L almost drowned

nope, I know exactly what sea water tastes like

but...That salty taste...

It's from tears

it's the taste of tears, right?

You probably cried over someone

or somebody made you cry

you're crazy

before nail clippers became popular tools

we had to move around like nomads

living by iron ore mines

once the mines were discovered, we had to leave

during the gold rush

nail clipper monsters around the world received notices to gather in California

lots of monsters smuggled in

that's why there are so many Chinese people living there

they all descended from the monsters

stop...Stop...

I've never noticed this wall before

what are you doing?

There's an empty spot here

no...No...What if the cops come?

We might get caught...

You think we are on TV?

When was the last time you saw the cops?

- Tell me! - True...

No...No...

You can't just rule out their apperarance

hmm

come

try it, it is fun

draw the pig tail like this, in circles, yeah

hey! Stop!

Hey! Stop!

Let's go!

Hurry, hurry!

Gosh, this is Murphy's law, am I right?

What?

Never think negatively

bad things happen when you think negatively

you said the cops will come

when was the last time you saw cops in Hawaii?

All of a sudden, here they are

if that isn't Murphy's law, then I don't know what is

I don't care, you have to pay for my spray paint

how? You want to lick this side too?

Don't be a bastard

be serious

you think about it

what? This is how I'm paying you back

I don't eat after 6pm

why?

I'm on a diet

on a diet? But you are so skinny already

do you know how Napoleon died?

Napoleon was actually a nail clipper monster

nobody knew about it, except for his personal servant

when Napoleon was defeated, he was exiled to an island

the British sent a Navy troop and 5,000 soldiers to monitor him

his servant used everything he could find to cook him nail clippers

when his servant died, Napoleon starved to death

you see? This patch of fat

why are girls so obsessed with losing weight?

Being fat is subjective

if you think you are fat, then you are fat

if you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain

okay, suit yourself, I am going to eat

right...That's right

you said you learnt tattooing in java

yeah

and then...Studied art in Paris

my mom is French-Chinese

and your dad?

My grandfather was a noble in Korea

he escaped to France during the war

and gave birth to my dad

I'm telling you, I'm a quarter Korean

you don't look it!

Hmm

maybe...

Because I never had plastic surgery

let's go

this is how you can pay me back

I can't dance

because your cerebrum and muscle don't coordinate well

- this is a good practice - how is that relevant?

Aren't you going to pay me back?

Relax, dancing is like surfing in between music notes

I was about to live a quiet life

when this girl passes by like a hurricane

and stirs up a huge tidal wave

she made me believe in love again

oh! I am so sorry

are you okay?

It's okay

I am sorry

give me a minute

my cousin might have left some clothes here

clothes

the bathroom is...Over here

don't overthink

what did you say?

I said don't overthink it

I'm only here to change my shirt

I'm not that type of girl

miss, I think you're the one overthinking it

I'm not the type of guy to let a girl strip at my home on the first day we meet either

first of all

this is not the first day we met

second

I'm changing my clothes, not stripping

boys are perverts

I came here to change and now you want me to strip

you only have dirty thoughts

what are you doing here?

What is she doing here?

- What's the matter with you? - Why are you pushing me?

What are you up to?

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

When was the last time you brought her home?

How long have you known her?

My...My relationship with her

is not what you think, okay?

And why did you sneak into my house?

I was worried about you, so I thought I should come

to cheer you up a bit

okay.

I didn't...Sneak in

then why do you have my home key?

You have forgotten

you gave it to me last time when you were installing the cable

okay, what about the banana

what is it for?

Bana...Banana...

I wanted to cheer you up

do you...

Do you remember...Whenever you got upset

I would split a banana with you

and you would crack a smile

Lulu

I was seven then, just seven

people say what you like in your childhood becomes your interest

Lulu

I really enjoy being with you

but what happened back then...

It's been too long, I can't remember

yes! I said I would marry you

but...L was too young

I didn't know what marriage is

I even said I would become a world class surfer when I grow up

well, look at me now

but that doesn't explain it!

Who is she?

She is short and childish and has no curves

even carman is better than her

you'd rather torture yourself than be with me?

What are you talking about?

I am leaving

I will return the clothes next time

put the keys on the table when you leave

hey

do you know why nail clipper monsters don't live together?

It's because when the scientists discovered our existence

they set up area 51 in the us to study extra-terrestrial life

they wanted to extract our digestive enzymes

those of us who were captured didn't made it back alive

that's why we don't live together

and don't dare get close to a human being

in case they're one of us

hi

sir, here for a tattoo?

We have launched a discount promotion

let me pick one for you

I think this suits you well

-I'm sorry, I... - What for?

Are you going for the turtle?

If so, I can do it for free

if not, I'm going home

hey!

Hey what!

Humans can talk to turtles, but turtles can't talk back

hey! Let me explain

you don't have to

doesn't matter to me who was in your house

no, Lulu is a good friend of my cousin

we grew up together

really? It didn't look that way

no, I cannot control what she does

- but I hope that you... - Wait no!

Why do you care how I feel?

Who am I to you?

Right, you are not mine. But...

I'm hoping you can be my someone

who...Who wants to be yours?

Hey hey 'hey

what do you think?

Wait...L must tell you

I have never gone out...

With an old man like you

you have to get along with me

I'm old?

Yes, you pedophile

you are attracted to young girls like me

you are an uncle, old uncle

uncle

- old uncle - okay, I'm an uncle

but...

You get wrinkles on your eyes when you smile

you dare say you're young

what about you?

Also if l...L...

I go outwith you

will your friends think I'm not mature enough?

Hey, why didn't we ask Lulu to come?

You didn't know?

They had a fight last week

she will not come today

why?

You will find out soon

hey, cousin

your life is like a roller coaster

you just committed suicide for your ex

and now you are in a new relationship

young girls these days

they're fine to play with but don't take them seriously

smart guys choose sophisticated women

thanks

what are you doing, why are you dressed like this?

It's my first time hanging outwith an uncle

I want to look mature

hi

my Chinese name is lin leshi

and my English name is Emily

he is my good friend, Matt

hi

I am a mature woman

oh

this is Daisy

- hi - Daisy

this is my cousin fion

cousin

just ca“ me hon

don't worry, I will take good care of you

I am fine

no worries

let's...Not just stand here

- let's bowl, okay? - Let's bowl!

Nice, nice

haven't you heard?

The Hawaii theatre is haunted

really?

I have a friend who's a security guard there

I can bring you guys there

sure, sure

how's that? Let's go

maybe not

this is very childish and we are all grown-ups

let's play

you go straight and strike from the back

you...Broke your nail

- do you guys have a nail clipper? - I do, I have one

come bro, let's bowl

do...You normally bring that many nail clippers with you?

I carry some stock for my friends

okay, move to your left

- are we there yet? - Not yet, not yet

more to the right

what is in your bag? Why is it so heavy?

I am a girl, I bring my cosmetics

okay, stop.

What now?

Didn't they say this place is haunted?

Let's find out

let's go, we should leave

why, are you scared?

Right, I am scared to death

in or not?

Hello, sweetheart

- hi - come on in

- hi - hi

what are we waiting for?

Ghost, just...

The old man by the door told me

there are ghosts on the lower level

and they come out around this time

it happens every day

ex. ..Excited?

My heart is pounding

how excited?

The world has ghosts

okay.

But even if that's true

do we have to come?

Who said I wanted to see them?

And who said they wanted to be seen?

Actually...

I was here before...

And saw things I should not have seen

you...Have seen ghosts before, right?

Even scarier

I regret pushing open that door

if I did not chase after them

perhaps we could have stayed together

to me, the movie "young detective Dee"

ended when the monster approaches

no wonder...You didn't want to come

right

where did you sit?

Somewhere...Around here

what?

Ghost

excuse me

who are you? How did you get in here?

I'm with the engineering department

we're working on the projector

how did you get in here?

A key

freaked me out

you're the one who wanted to come

and this freaks you out?

Alright, roll it

images projected on the curtains look beautiful

yes

it's a rare sight

hey, can't sleep?

Right, I have insomnia sometimes

this is the 1965 Ford Shelby cobra, right?

You know about cars?

I have seen them on magazines

there aren't that many left in the world

are you...

A rich second-generation?

No I am not

when I was three

my dad found this car at a second hand garage

it costed only $1000 back then

when we bought it

the engine did not work

the door was missing

it was a complete mess inside

my dad spent almost everyday at the garage repairing it

he hoped...He could get it fixed one day

and take the family out to lanai lookout

to drink beer and watch the sunset

he spent all his time and money

on this car

then?

And then...

And then...My parents divorced

but dad continued fixing the car

during my junior year at college

he called me one day, saying

the car is fixed, let's go out

but I was in kauai with my friends

when I came home...

He got sick

the doctor said it was liver failure

it was strange because...

He was actually sick the whole time

but he endured the pain for two years

perhaps dreams

strengthen people's willpower

hey

let's go back to sleep

we still have work tomorrow

just close your eyes and rest, how's that?

Alright. It was a long day

really exhausting

I am sorry, my bad

I promise, no next time

sure. Okay

go away!

Are you done?

Yes

uncle, old uncle

come to bed! Otherwise you are not going to sleep

hey, is this yours?

What?

Hey!

We should stop seeing each other

nail clipper monsters are bound to three major rules:

Be less sociable, less outgoing and less adventorous

in short, never cross the line

if we nail clipper monsters get caught

death will be the only result

but for me, this is too difficult

bye

bye

hey

hey,hey

we cannot be together anymore

why not?

Just don't look for me anymore

I just want to know why

I've never come across such a situation

I have become too relaxed since dating you

let me tell you a secret...

I am a nail clipper monster

nail clipper monster

what?

Beings who survive by eating nail clippers

you know vampires?

They survive by drinking blood, right?

Umm...

Same with nail clipper monsters

they survive by eating nail clippers

you still don't get it, do you?

What you mean is...

You eat...Nails

some people like to bite their nails

but I eat nail clippers

nail...Clippers?

You mean...

You only eat nail clippers and nothing else?

I'm taking great courage to tell you this

when I was around 7 or 8

I used to have a bad appetite

I didn't know why, I just couldn't eat

and I get hungry at night

one night, I sneaked inside my mom's bedroom

there was a full moon that night

I stared at a nail clipper

a voice whispered to me

eat it

I thought I would be sent to the hospital

but I was okay

that was the most fulfilling moment of my life

I finally discovered my true self

all I need are nail clippers

since then

whenever my mom brought me to my relatives

or my schoolmates' birthday parties

I steal their nail clippers when no one's watching

and I eat them after I return home

so...

What do you poo?

Same as yours

how is it possible?

You can search it online

someone ate light bulbs for 40 years and he's fine

my stomach can only digest nail clippers

no one has ever caught me in the act

perhaps I was too into you

I let my guard down

right

even my cousin doesn't know about this

you have been living together and she doesn't know?

Don't you eat together?

You know how girls skip meals to lose weight?

That's the best way to hide it

actually, I am curious

how male nail clipper monsters

hide their identity...

Are you saying there are other people...Like you?

Of course

we are a tribe

normally...

We hide among ordinary people

it's not easy to identify us

have you ever noticed...

You always lose your nail clippers?

I guess so

you must think that

since nail clippers are small

they're easy to misplace, right?

This proves that

among your relatives and your friends

there are a few nail clipper monsters

nonsense!

Exactly!

Right?

Why did she say that?

Since you two have gotten so close

it is obvious

there is phase for that

what is it?

Hit and run

in Chinese it means

hit it...Then run

usually it's the guy who does it

very rarely the girl

gosh! You filthy mind!

Hey, just speak, don't get close

stay right there, stay right there

hi, sexy

love you guys.

Be careful

what are you doing?

Don't you think

if you are too close to me, they might mistaken you as the real life guard

right

if you want to find out if she is a...

- Nail clipper monster - right...

If she is a nail clipper monster

very simple

the only way is

to witness it

hi

my cousin told you my address right?

She worries about you

you've thought it over?

L...

If not, then why are you here?

It's...Not that I don't believe you

but...This is beyond comprehension

who survives by eating metals?

I told you I only eat nail clippers

and not other metals

- that is even weirder - why?

Let me ask you, do you love me?

I do!

Prove it

how to prove...L just do

look, you are trying to explain something unprovable too

those are two different things, okay?

It's not that I don't believe you

it's just that I can't wrap my head around the idea

hey

- what for? - To pay you back

what's the meaning of this?

When I was delivering a surfboard a few days ago, I passed by a store

that sells nail clippers, I thought...

This looked very Hawaiian

so I bought one for you...To taste

I only eat nail clippers when I am hungry

I don't eat to perform like a circus monkey

no, l...L didn't mean that

you clearly did

you bought this so you can watch me eat

you are doubting me and you want proof

if we are dating

I cannot keep proving myself to you all the time

same if you come home late

and I ask you to prove that you're not dating other girls

I don't think we have trust in our relationship

it is meaningless

please go

I don't know why

I couldn't argue with her about that

perhaps she is right

it is my fault

I did not give you enough trust

I will not talk about this anymore, sorry

then don't buy this kind of nail clippers anymore

the pattern looks awful

besides I cannot digest it

I will throw up

which...Ones do you like best?

I love those big muji nail clippers

clean on the outside and the portion is just right

just like eating big piece of Sushi

I used to love it so much

but I cannot find it here in Hawaii

if I see it next time

I will buy a bunch for you

what, shit!

How did she get pass that?

Did she put a spell on you?

L...L know it is hard to believe

I shouldn't have brought her the nail clipper

it means that I don't trust her

wait

I want to rewind

pause, fast forward

pause

why does she have a fridge?

If she is a real nail clipper monster

why does she have a fridge in her house?

Exactly

it must be her landlord's

it makes sense, right?

Besides...Even if she only eats nail clippers

maybe they taste better chilled...

I got it, bro

next time you visit her

check out her fridge

if she is a real nail clipper monster

her fridge shouldn't have other food, right?

Can you explain this?

Sorry

it's my fault

I broke up with Jordan long time ago

but he still bothers me

the food inside belongs to him

don't worry, I will make it clear to you

are you free tonight?

You want to break up with me?

Are you serious?

Are you trying to break up with me right now?

Are you okay? Thank you

I am okay, it was my fault

I'm thinking clearly now after that splash

it's right of me to break up with him

come on, let's walk back

do you know whom I hate the most?

That guy?

Laden, bin laden

ever since 911

nail clippers are not allowed on planes

so I am afraid to take long haul flights

because I will be starving

sometimes flight attendents bring me food

but I'd throw up when I see the tray

but it's okay

because I only need 4 to 5 nail clippers a day

I want to ask you a question

is "nail clipper monster" a general term?

Hello?

Is "nail clipper monster" a general term?

Nope, I named it myself

because "nail clipper monster" sounds cool

but...

The word "monster"

if someone else called you that, then I'd understand...

But why would you use such a term for yourself?

Seems strange...

What are you looking at?

Strange, let me tell you

this used to be a very hip nightclub

I've been here with my friends

but why is it closed?

Let's go

ever since I told you my secret

I feel so relaxed

I cannot explain in words

I don't have to hide it anymore

it feels like...Coming out

you see

there should be other nail clipper monsters

from around the world

I should encourage them to do as I did

and bravely come out

but how would you do it?

I think I should rent that nightclub

and name it nail clipper restaurant

no

marvelous nail clipper restaurant

we would provide a public space for them

to eat nail clippers

I used to envy little kids

who can have their birthday parties at McDonald's

so I always fantasized

if there is a nail clipper restaurant

I can throw my birthday party there

sounds like a good idea

you think so?

Let's forget it

it's not easy opening a restaurant

going out with Emily makes me think through one thing

to question the existence of nail clipper monsters

is to question whether "wind" exists

you can never touch or see wind

but whenever I go surfing

I know it exists

like Emily's love for me

ls Andrew liking his new board?

I see him surfing with it, so it should be okay

master, is this the board you made this morning?

Actually...

Since you are so skillful

you can get it done quickly right?

As shapers

we shape each board uniquely to suit its owners

so we have to listen and think during the process

to figure out what kind of board he wants

a lot of people don't know what they want

so they make strange requests

next time when you shape a board

pause for a moment and close your eyes

imagine yourself surfing

what it's like standing on a board

your purpose of board shaping

ls to help clients see the fun in what you do

shaping boards is not hard labour

we should enjoy the process

nail clipper monsters have experienced too much pain

so we Cherish our loved ones

no matter how much we have to sacriface

we must protect them

that includes our offsprings

since we're destined to be forever on the run

marrying our own species

means giving birth to another "nail clipper monster"

they will then suffer from vagrant lives at a young age

the same thing might happen if we marry a human being

so the best way to prevent it is to always be alone

nice car

yeah

you like it?

Then“.

We're off to a good start

I hope your nail clipper restaurant will be a success

ready...Go

whoevefls slower is a pig!

Hardly has one wave subsided when another rises

stormy weather in the ocean

one wave has not caught up, another one has gone

life has just awaken

the deeper the pacific ocean, the deeper the heartache

are you insane? Yes, you must be

you scolded me whenever I touch your car

and now...What spell did she put on you?

I think it's quite romantic

I wish someone would do that for me

which side are you on?

You didn't trust Emily at first

and now you're rooting for her?

It's not that I'm rooting for her...

I'm just realizing, in all our years together...

Have you ever done anything crazy for me?

What's it got to do with me?!

I'm just making a point, don't you understand girls?

Don't I treat you well, my queen?

I didn't say that...

I am not going to argue with you

that's okay, that's okay

- we really don't need this - miss lin

- that's okay - no one does that

you will regret it

but we...

Welcome back Mr. chen

please discuss with your girlfriend

her floorplan looks very strange

no kitchen and stoves?

How do you cook?

That's fine. Just listen to her

thank you, sir

alright, it's your restaurant

let's go ming, let's go eat

you came back late

I cannot reason with him

it's okay. This is your restaurant

right, I saw the floorplan

I think the bar tables...

Should go here

it is weird if the bar tables don't go against the wall

besides, our customers

can enter from both sides, right?

But I want to keep this wall to myself

and draw a huge nail clipper on it

that's fine too. You see, if the bar is here

you can still do your graffiti on it

the bar table fits in right below, perfect

but I want to keep this space here

imagine people sitting here, eating nail clippers

when they lift their heads

they'll see this huge nail clipper, wonderful

okay, as you like it, no problem

thank you

you are welcome

good, you're here. Look, what do you think?

I was thinking since we are new

and our location is so obscure

it would be difficult for other nail clipper monsters to find us

so I've asked them to make this sign

what do you think? Like it?

No'?

I just think god treats me too well

that I got to meet you

can you turn it on?

You like it?

Thanks for coming. You guys want beer? Okay

you guys are here too?

Of course, to celebrate your opening. We wish you great success

thank you

didn't we agree beforehand?

That we skip the greetings

he is your friend, come on

exactly, it's because I'm his friend

that I don't want to see him screw up

don't mind him

your cousin asked me to tell you

she cannot come because she's helping out a friend

they are very nice

hi

nice seeing you again

what do you want exactly?

What do you mean?

Just save it

I am not Sean

you can't fool me

you're obviously bullshitting

what are you trying to achieve?

Why are you doing this?

He has been cheated on by carman

if he gets hurt again

he won't be able to take it

have you read "the little prince"?

I asked have you read "the little prince"?

What?

It is only with the heart

that one can see the truth

what is essential is invisible to the eye

- let's go - what happened?

Daisy, let's go

people have gotten me wrong since I was a kid

I'm used to it

my classmates said I'm autistic

my friends said I don't fit in

my ex-boyfriends accused me of cheating

I can find thousands of excuses

but I cannot tell them the truth, it's exhausting

I rather remain quiet than to defend myself

quick, someone's coming...

I guess other nail clipper monsters are just shy

it takes time

right

I placed an ad

I believe other nail clipper monsters in Hawaii will see this

hi

shopping for nail clippers?

Yeah

nail clippers are great right?

So multi-functional...

You know, those look really good

it'd be a shame not to eat them, right?

Hey

here to shop?

Right, helping my girlfriend buy something

you are quick

guess so

do you still hate me?

Well...Not exactly

besides, that's in the past

I am just. . .Curious

curious why I left you?

Yeah

there are two types of women:

The dogs and the cats

dogs are loyal and will always return, unlike cats

they are only interested in themselves

they don't care about you

you are a dog person, but you find cats attractive

if you don't know what you need, you'll tire yourself out

I don't know what you are talking about

I was worried about you at one point

and I felt bad

I should have come clean with you earlier

then it wouldn't have turned out this way

but how can you blame a cat?

She was born this way, it's not her fault

you're always so logical

that's not it!

I told you early on that we're not right for each other

no, l...L thought you were joking

I've never thought that we're not right for each other...

I know

your master asked you not to surf

you never listen either

look, I have guts to admit my true self. What about you?

Go find a dog, look at you, I'm leaving

I heard that

you sold your car

yeah

why?

You know what?

Ever since carman

I fear that I'll turn into a pessimist

not trusting people anymore

when I realized I had a crush on Emily

I'm afraid I'll carry the pain into this relationship

so I have to pull myself together

I...Don't even want to think about

whether she's lying or not

because to me

unconditional love

ls true love

I'm just afraid you'll get hurt

I am fine

losing money is not a big deal

it doesn't kill

don't worry

I am going back to the restaurant

come out now

I have told you before

stubborn people are helpless

don't waste your time on him

haven't you had enough yet?

Excuse me

are you guys open? Do you serve coffee?

Sorry, we don't serve coffee here

okay. Thanks!

Sorry

why don't we sell coffee too?

It won't make a difference

let's sell the restaurant to someone

but...This is all your effort

I think...

Maybe not every nail clipper monster thinks the same

maybe they prefer eating nail clippers in secret

I do not want to lose all your money

we can still get some of it back

let's sell the restaurant

there is nothing that can be done

you don't even have a kitchen to begin with...

God! This interior...

What can I do with it?

I have to remodel it

what can I get out of this?

The furnishing is worthless

I am sorry

when you read this letter

I'll already be on my way to Paris

sorry for not saying goodbye

because I don't know how to face you

I wonder if I were to be more cautious

about my secret identity

maybe things wouldn't happen this way

but I cannot deny that

you are the most beautiful mistake I have made

it was your trust

that made me understand love

when the whole world denied me

you were the only one that believed in me

such an absurd nonsense

thank you

I wish I hadn't taken your money at first place

fortunately someone is willing to take over

here's the money I got from them

I am sorry, please don't hate me

you deserve to be with someone better

have you seen Emily?

Sorry, man. I don't know where she is

hey, I remember you

what are you talking about?

She told me she lived in java before

that's absurd. I watched her grow up

but her parents live in Paris

and she studied art in France right?

I don't know where her parents are

but I know she's been in Honolulu all her life

her parents divorced when she was very little

they just took off and left her with her cousin

so growing up, she didn't have anybody taking care of her

that's why she used to sneak in here to watch movies all the time

I felt sorry for her

so I always let her in

what?

What happened?

You knew the wave was huge, why did you try to be a hero?

Baby

I am a lifeguard

will people surf on a waveless day?

Luckily there were a lot of lifeguards

how did you end up drowning yourself?

Exactly

some say

at the edge of dying

you see the most important thing in your life

at that moment, I realized I...

Have been running after life this whole time

how absurd

you are my life goal

I keep chasing and chasing

after the basic needs of life

in fact I was never short of anything

I don't mind an ordinary life

but not without you

Daisy

will you marry me?

I've been waiting forever for that question!

Awesome!

Congratulations!

A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold

every cloud has a silver lining

congratulations!

You two are true brothers

one tries to kill himself right before his birthday

the other proposes after being saved

stop it, you have messed up my makeup

ok, let's go touch up

- okay, come with me - my wife, be careful

- be careful... - Easy on him

congratulations to you two!

Why does your speech sound familiar?

The song "chased" by lesile cheung

I keep chasing and chasing

oh, you couldn't get away anyways

you saw it, I had no choice

I guess I'll lose myjob too after this incident

besides

approaching middle-age

I just have to

get to the root of the problem

and find a companion

Daisy is always here for me

and she has a stable income

instead of living like a loner

I'd rather find a sugar mommy

you're awful

enough about me, I have something to tell you

what's up?

Since the beginning, Emily has planned

to take your money for the restaurant

do you know who the new owner is?

It's her cousin Sara's boyfriend

that's not possible

what is he going to do with the restaurant?

That...Restaurant doesn't even have a kitchen, it is impossible

here's what interesting!

Isn't there a little penthouse behind the restaurant?

When you bought the place

someone rented that penthouse at the same time

and converted it into a kitchen

they opened a doorway in between

and adjoined the spaces

do you know where she put the door?

The place where our lovely Emily

insisted to do graffiti on

and wouldn't let you touch it

didn't she say her grandpa came from Korea?

Bullshit!

My friend told me, she came from chaozhou

not Korea! Now do you still trust her?

You don't have to believe me now

go see for yourself

see if that's where the door is

there's no point visiting the restaurant again

I'd rather choose to believe that

I once fell in love with

a girl who eat nail clippers

do you know why we need to surf?

It is not for fun

but to face your fears

if you were hit by a wave

you can choose to run away from it

or you can get up and try again

what's up with you?

Bro, where have you been these past six months?

If it weren't for my wedding, you'd never have come back, right?

Exactly. I'm kidding, congratulations

forget it

I should thank you instead, if it weren't for you

- I don't think I'd have gotten married - why?

Because you've had too many failed relationships

so I can't help thinking about it

hot guys like us seldom have lasting relationships

that is why when we have found the one

hold them tight and never let go

let me introduce you to my bridesmaids

they're all single with hot bodies

it's okay

enjoy your night, congratulations again

don't go missing again

okay

see you later

okay

hey,sean

hey, how're you? Long time no see

good. How're you?

Yeah, where have you been?

Sorry, I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay, take care

I have been away for so long

not sure why the banana still hasn't gone bad

I always wanted to know

the key you left at my house...

What's it for?

My front door

then...How did you get home?

Locksmith, what else could it be?

Why?

Perhaps I am just like you, believing that

unconditional love is true love

can you dance?

Should be easy

perhaps it is like

surfing in between music notes

listen to your bullshit!

Idiot

"'lf you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain' - Sean"

if you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain

I finally understand

an ocean without waves is not an ocean

just like love without pain

ls not love

we can't avoid getting hurt

but we can choose to get back up again

my friends all call Emily a liar

and say they have the photos to prove it

but I don't want to see the proof

I'd rather believe that

I once fell in love with

a girl who eats nail clippers
