Original subtitles

100 years ago on Jibei Island,

there was no pollution, guessing games or karaoke.

There was nothing.

There was only... romance and love.

Legend has it there was a man and a woman who were in love.

The man was at sea catching fish,

while the woman was ashore handling the fish net.

One day while the man was doing his work at sea,

a storm sank his boat.

The woman saw it onshore and shouted loudly: Bu [no]!

She then swam out.

No one ever saw this young couple again.

Some say, they became dolphins on Jiber Island.

For dolphins around this island behave in a romantic way.

When they find a matching partner, they never separate.

There’s more...!

Of all the dolphins in the world,

only those around Jiber Island would call out the noise “Bu.”

Was it a nice story?

So hard to please you guys.

And who told them a horror story?

Just leave me be, all right?

Here, have some melon. They’re sweet.

No, I don’t want to.

Please, you always say no to everything.

Say “yes” now and then.

You nhamed me “no.”

Hey! Please help me out here!

I’'ve said it so many times.

When you talk to our daughter, don’t mix Mandarin and Cantonese.

Now, her Cantonese isn’t fluent, and her Mandarin isn’t any better either.

And the people around are laughing at us.

Please! If your Mandarin is that good, then you teach her.

Wasting my time arguing with you, fatso.

Hey, what did you just say to me?

What did your mother say?

What did you say?

What did she say?!

OLD CAPTAIN RESTAURANT

Open bar, folks.

One more round of beers.

Drink all you want. Enjoy your drinks.

Go in and take a seat.

Long time no see.

There’s no more beer, so why not order one more round?

Not tonight. We’re pretty much done.

Not to worry! It’s on the house!

Bu! Six beers, on me!

These people are quite a nuisance. Coming here every day freeloading.

When you bring the beer, add more water to it.

That trick again? You sure?

- Bu! — Yes!

Hurry with the beer!

- Here they are! - Bu, you didn’t add any water, did you?

Absolutely not!

No? That’s great!

— Drink! - Come on!

Cheers!

Bu, what are you doing?!

You silly girl!

You could’ve spared me.

They sing karaoke when it’s available. If not, then they’ll watch TV.

If there’s no TV, then they’ll pick fights.

So on Jibei Island... there’s no room for rornance.

JIBEI HARBOR

Done!

Beautiful! I learned it from a magazine. It’s true.

Come here, Bu!

I brought something for you.

I’'ve been fishing my whole life, and I’'ve never seen an oyster this big.

Any pearls?

No.

How much did you spend on this?

$3,000.

Thank you.

And this.

My friend’s wedding shop in Taipei. He said he’ll give us a discount.

So I want to...

You want to marry me?

No, I just want to...

Yes, I want to marry you.

You use this big oyster to propose to me?

Of course not. The oyster’s not...

Yes, I’'m proposing to you.

Okay.

I'll consider it.

That Longyi sure is something. He managed to find such a big oyster.

He proposed to me today.

Really?

Do you love him?

Well, I think he’s not bad.

Very hard-working.

I asked if you love him.

It shouldn’t be hard to answer.

Either you love him, or you don’t.

Mom, why did you leave Hong Kong to marry Dad?

Your old man was quite a hunk.

And he’s a good cook too.

You’re a good cook too.

That’s not the same.

When your loved one cooks, the food will also taste better.

What’s loving someone like?

Loving someone is when you keep wanting to see that person.

The sight of him will make you happy.

And when he’s not around, your heart will ache.

Even when he’s sleeping, you can watch him forever.

When you have this kinda feeling, you know you love that person.

Then you know it’s right.

Anything good to eat in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong? Clay Pot Rice. It’s quite good.

Clay Pot Rice.

You don’t have any feelings for Longyi, right?

Although I gave birth to you,

it’s your life to choose what you want to do.

Whatever it is, trust your heart.

Bu!

Bu!

Good boy, Bu.

I have some news for you.

Longyi proposed to me.

What are you laughing at?

I once heard a tale...

that all men and women originally were couples.

But for some reason...

they all separated when arriving on Earth.

So they go through life searching for their other half.

Bu!

Bu, where are you going?

Bu!

“Do you know I’'m waiting for you?

Hong Kong.

Albert.”

How romantic!

Are you trying to tell me something?

Why don’t you choose for me?

It’s you guys that made the choice for me.

Excuse me.

You know a good café in Hong Kong?

Sure, we’ll go together.

Thanks.

Taiwanese people... geez!

What did you say, Four-Eyes Kid?

You understand Cantonese?

Surprised?

Miss, your first time on an airplane?

How did you know?

Of course I know.

The new airport in Hong Kong is very big! You can easily get lost.

How about if I show you around?

I’'m known as Manhattan Robert. I know all the trendy spots!

Many people come to see me play drinking games.

It’s an honor to hang around with me! Okay?

What?

Are you twins or just look alike?

Please forgive this ignorant Four-Eyes Kid.

The toilet seems to be vacant...

GIRLFRIEND OF TAIWAN MOB BOSS MISSING FOLLOWING HIS ARREST

Morning, sir. Working out?

It’s meeting time.

All right, everyone’s here. Let’s start the meeting.

Morning, Mr. Chan.

Morning. Any news from Wall Street?

Lion Fund is borrowing heavily n the interbank market

after the trading closed.

Even at an inflated 20% interest rate, they took what they could get.

Check the following matters for me.

First, how many Nikkei Futures did Lion Fund short?

Second,

consult the Japanese Ministry of Economy if the Japanese Yen is appreciating.

Third, is the lease for the U.S. navy base in Japan expiring?

If all answers are affirmative, buy whatever they sell.

But this hedge fund is run by two Nobel Prize winners.

Their formula should be invincible.

It should be, but they’re too greedy.

Leveraging ten times their worth from 40 to 400 billion. They’re doomed sometime.

- Just do as I say. - Yes, Mr. Chan.

Send 100 roses with this card to Carman.

During office hours.

Didn’t you break up with her?

We can still be friends.

You’re all grown up.

You should se...riously... try to find someone.

I can’t find anyone.

SO many women around you, and you can’t find one?

All of them are so beautiful and elegant.

Too elegant for me.

What kind of woman do you want, then?

Someone amusing.

Make yourself at home. Eat some.

Never guessed that bottle would float that far. All the way to Taiwan.

You really got my respect.

Found a bottle and came to Hong Kong.

How brave and romantic.

However... things, in reality, don’t always...

What?

What I mean to say is... things aren’t...

What?

- You can’t be... - Oh, yes...

- How peculiar... - It’s not that peculiar...

- No... - Yes...

- You really are...? - I really am.

So that bottle’s for your... boy...friend?

- What? - Ex-boyfriend.

You don’t like girls... Such a waste.

Why a waste?

It’s such a waste, you being so handsome.

I’'m not.

That’s stunning.

DO YOU KNOW I'M WAITING FOR YOU?

No wonder you romantically threw the bottle into the sea.

I moved here because of this billboard.

I better book a hotel room for you tonight.

Go back to Taiwan tomorrow morning.

No... I've never traveled all my life.

This is my first time in Hong Kong. Think 'l make it worth my while.

But Hong Kong’s no fun... Hong Kong’s quite boring.

You better go back in the morning.

No, my friend told me...

Hong Kong’s got many...

great places to eat.

I’ll... book a hotel room for you.

— Don’t do that. I got no money. - Hey, don’t touch me.

Why don’t you let me stay here?

No, I can’t live with women...

I’ll... get annoyed.

- Please... — No!

I came all this way, looking for you from Taiwan by myself.

who’d have known it’d be such a let-down?

You said I was romantic, and now you’re treating me this way.

Okay, I'll leave.

Bu!

- Yes? - You forgot your suitcase.

You forgot your bag.

Such a nuisance. I can’t stand people crying.

Makes me feel so guilty.

- I’'ll take you out after work tomorrow. - Why don’t I join you when you go?

What do you do for work?

I’'m the best makeup artist of Hong Kong.

I can transform turds into beauties, also known as Asia’s Number 1!

Exquisite.

That’s it.

Yeah... That’s right.

When can we eat? I’'m starving.

we’ll eat once it’s finished.

How much longer?

Only six more hours.

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding?! Keep that lid shut! The light’s coming through!

Are you kidding...?

You'll fog the film!

Chan Chi-Ng, you’re cruising on a nice day,

and didn’t invite me?

— You’re here within an invitation anyway. — The press says you’re dating my girl.

You believe them?

Grow up, Lo Lai-Wah.

Then, is it true?

Yes.

You’ve been like this since we were kids. Always competing with me.

Hey, come here. Come!

I heard you’ve been interested in our stock lately.

I’m interested in all stocks, not just yours.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

My associates and I hold a majority of the shares.

- You can’t touch my company. - We’ll see.

You’re standing on my yacht.

That girl is mine.

And you talk to me with such an attitude?! What the hell?!

What’s your purpose for getting me here today?

For an apology.

Don’t tell me I didn’t make it easier for you.

Hard to apologize in front of so many people, right?

When I leave, call me after five minutes and tell me then.

Five minutes.

What... time is it now?

It’s 5:30.

Hey, why wear a watch when you can’t tell the time?

Who’s wearing a watch?

I’m wearing diamonds!

Watch him for me.

If he doesn’t call me after five minutes, throw him overboard.

- But give a buoy. Don’t let him drown. - Yes, boss.

Call me.

Bye, boss.

Hey, call him and say sorry.

Or I'll throw you overboard. Hey!

Stop messing around!

My wife’s pregnant. I really have to get back soon.

Right, so this means you want to go overboard?

Get a buoy.

Walk!

- Hands off. — Get in the water!

Lucky me...

- Hey, here comes the buoy! What the hell? - It’s Fatty!

I can’t swim.

Don’t go!

Help him!

Hey! Over there!

You scared me!

Where did he go?

Hey, I can’t see him. Where is he?

You okay?

Sit well. Don’t fall over again. I’'ll help them.

He’s in the water! He’s here!

Hey! At the rear!

Help!

Here. Hold tight.

That’s close.

- Fried Egg! Can you see him there? — No.

Look again!

Hey, over there!

He got away.

Wait.

The boss wants him overboard with a buoy if he doesn’t apologize.

- We’ve done all that, right? - Right!

Hey, we can call it a day!

Thanks.

Are you okay?

You... You're...

My name is Bu.

No, no!

Are you a refugee?

Yes, a refugee.

From Vietnam?

Yes, I’'m a refugee from Vietnam.

- How many did you come with? - Just me, why?

Who’s driving the boat?

Can’t you get it to work?

I can’t.

I’m starving.

Aren’t you?

No, but I could use a snack.

Hey, since we’re stuck here anyway,

why don’t we talk so I forget the hunger?

About what?

What do you like the best?

Nothing? Really?

Not even cars and women?

Why are you smiling? Am I that boring?

Okay, then what do you hate most?

I hate nosy people.

Then what do you hate most?

I hate growing up, because then I can no longer be...

naughty.

Nosy?

— N...aughty. — Naughty.

Naughty.

And no one pampers you when you’re an adult.

Then what do you like the best?

A shower when I’m sweaty.

Waking out of bed to a cup of warm soya milk.

I’'d like one now.

Hong Kong stars are actually lovely.

Why just Hong Kong stars?

The stars are lovely everywhere.

If you care to look at them.

Where?

Shooting star!

- Shooting star? —Yes.

Mom said when you see one,

touch your pocket and make a wish. And it’ll come true.

But I’'m out of luck, I have no pocket.

There’s another one.

What’s your wish?

None of your business. How nosy!

It won’t come true if I tell you.

I’m so sleepy.

There’s a boat!

A boat?

Hey!

Over here!

Hello, what’s the status on the Silicon Valley stocks?

Don’t sell them yet. They’ll go even higher.

Yesterday I met Lo Lai-Wah.

He said his associates controlled his company’s shares.

Check it for me.

Buy me a new mobile phone.

It drowned.

Why don’t I give you a ride? You’ll be walking for at least an hour.

And there are many policemen checking ID.

There’s no need. Just tell me where I am, and I’ll walk back myself.

We’re in the middle of nowhere with no one in sight for miles, Boo.

My name’s Bu.

- Boo? - Bu!

— Okay... Just get in. — Sure.

Hey, not you, this lady here.

Sir, there are only two seats.

I know. Here’s 20 bucks.

Just further up from here...

there are taxis, buses, minibusses. Even underground trains.

Sir... you’re really something.

Come in.

Such a huge place. Do you live alone?

There’s a butler.

A butler? Must be quite crowded for two people?

- Have a seat. - Can I look around?

— Sure. — Thanks.

I’m starving.

I’m starving...

What are you looking for?

Something to feed the fish.

No need to. They’re electronic fish.

Come over here.

Why electronic fish?

I never need to change the water. And the fish never die.

And if the power’s out?

Hey, with such a huge house, you ever invite friends over?

- I don’t have many friends. - Wouldn’t that be boring?

Now what?

You like to fight?

Some people like golf, some people like horse racing.

I like to box and work out.

What’s this octopus for?

- Don’t ask too much. — Okay.

This should fit. Change in there.

Betty, call me a cab.

Twenty minutes? Great.

Why did you change in there?

Told you there’s a room behind the mirror.

How would I have known there was a room inside the mirror?

— Hungry? - Extremely hungry.

Me too. Come.

Is Hong Kong known for Clay Pot Rice?

Clay Pot Rice?

Best takeaway food ever.

I always order from this restaurant.

A fancy kitchen, and you don’t cook?

I don'’t like it when there’s too much oil and smoke.

Why are you staring at me? Just eat up.

Sure.

Now what?

You’re amusing when you eat.

You have lots of money?

I guess so.

- What do you do? — Rubbish.

— Tell me the truth. — I sell rubbish.

Have it your way. Forget it.

Can I have a soft drink?

How about juice? It’s healthier.

Bu... took the lift down.

What are you doing?

That’s enough. Stop moaning.

Let me tell you something.

That bottle has a special meaning.

Special in that you picked it up after I threw it into the sea,

and all of a sudden I’'m feeding and sheltering you.

- Just like that. — No...

The person I told you about...

Chan Chi-Ng, right? You mentioned it more than once.

Yes. Last night...

Was exciting. You told me that too.

I think he’s... interesting.

Interesting?

These magazines are published weekly.

And he changes girlfriends just as often.

Interesting? Womanizing would be a better description.

Let’s see.

An ex-girlfriend says...

“He doesn’t know how to please me or say sweet words,

but he’s actually a romantic man.

He appears stern and talks tough.

Inside, he’s like a kid.

He’s competitive and chases novelty.

Never regrets any decision.

With him... you feel insecure.”

— Meaning? — Chases novelty!

So he fools around.

No regrets about decisions, meaning he enjoys dumping women.

Maybe those women didn’t match him.

Who can offer one secured feelings? That you will have to achieve by yourself.

Spare me.

As there’s no fun in Hong Kong...

- Going home to Taiwan? - No, I mean Chan Chi-Ng is quite fun.

You have to hook him first.

You can’t just walk up to him and count one, two, three and take off your clothes.

- That’s crazy! He’s not that kind of guy. - It would be crazy if he wasn'’t.

Like you said, he’s competitive and chases novelty.

I have a plan already, but I need your help.

— Don’t get me mixed up in it. - Please. Help me out.

Spare me.

Auntie, where did Bu actually go?

She found a bottle that made her go to Hong Kong.

I have to get Bu back.

Chow Yun-Fat!

Chow Yun-Fat! Brother Fat!

Who?

- Me? I’'m not Chow Yun-Fat. - Why are you speaking Mandarin?

Miss, you’re mistaken. I’'m not Chow Yun-Fat.

Don’t try to fool me. How could I make a mistake? Sir, is he Chow Yun-Fat?

Brother Fat! How come you’re here? You just finished filming in Hollywood?

- A signature, please. - Can I take a picture?

- Can you take a photo for us first? - Okay.

- But I'm... - One, two, three... say cheese.

Beautiful!

- Please take a picture for me, miss. - Okay!

Brother Fat, pretend to point a gun at me. Ready?

One, two, three!

- I’'m so happy. - You’re such a nice person, Brother Fat.

- Give me a hug. - Yes, I want a hug too.

- All good, thank you. — Thank you.

- I’'ll send you the photos to Hollywood. - You’re so nice.

- Hey, same as the photo. - Print me a copy.

- He’s such a hunk. - Bye, Brother Fat!

My bag!

We’ve already checked Lo’s company.

Last year, its turnover increased by 13%.

Profit was over HK $1 billion after tax.

Stock price is undervalued by 30%.

We’ve acquired 16% of the company’s shares through different channels.

However, Lo Lai-Wah and other major shareholders

are still holding onto their 65% shares and refusing to sell.

If we insist on buying at a higher price, it might be too expensive.

Dump all my stocks.

Mr. Chan, if we dump them, the price will plunge.

We bought high, we’ll take a huge loss.

Just do it.

- Book me a dinner appointment with K.K. - Yes, Mr. Chan.

Who's K.K.?

Director of Environmental Protection Department.

I AM VERY CRUEL. ARE YOU AFRAID?

Waiting for the lift? Going up or down?

I’m going down. I was seeing friends upstairs.

This is the top level.

Really?

Indeed it is. I’m visiting someone downstairs actually.

Visiting who?

Visiting someone’s niece.

So quiet here.

How much does it cost? Can you get an 80% mortgage?

Why did you write on my wall?

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

Hey, look over there.

Another move, and your arm will break.

Let go.

Why did you do this?

Let go first.

Beautiful writing, right?

Enough. I don’t know kung fu.

- I’m just a delivery guy. — Delivering what?

In my back pocket.

Oh shit, my shoulder is dislocated.

Please let me go, sir.

Read it first.

- You okay? - Fell down the stairs from the top floor.

— Nothing’s wrong? - It’s nothing.

So does he believe that I’'m a girlfriend of a mob boss?

How should I know?

Hey, will your plan work?

Of course!

What’s next?

Now we’ll need the help of your bro... queer friends.

Hey, obviously we’re the bad guys!

We’re here to waste you.

— React! - Let me tell you...

- Speak Mandarin! - Oh, yeah!

Your boyfriend is a Taiwanese mob boss.

Our boss doesn’t like your boyfriend. He wants you defaced.

Now it’s your turn.

Believe it or not.

It’s in the papers.

Right! Now both sides of the law are after you in HK.

Here he comes, with speed!

You... you okay?

I’'m fine, and you?

I’m okay.

Oh, it’s you!

— Are you okay? - I’'m okay.

- These guys aren’t the ones I know. - What?

Nothing.

Hey, don’t let them see your face!

These masked guys are really making an effort.

Here.

Back off! I’ll stab you!

Back off! Or else I'll stab myself!

Keep doing that, and you’ll bleed.

You’re lucky our big bro’s injured!

He might chase us with his motorbike! Let’s go!

Let it go! Don’t chase them.

We better leave, or the cops will be here.

I’'m already here.

Thanks.

- Someone reported a fight. — Yes. We were attacked.

— Did they leave any evidence? - Yes, these baseball bats.

How’s that? Any clues?

Sunny, if you haven’t got a clue, then help me get an ambulance.

This is my workshop. It’s very safe.

- What’s all that rubbish doing here? - I told you, I sell rubbish.

All this rubbish here is worth a lot of money.

Valuable rubbish? Are you kidding?

When we were stranded on the island, you said you were a Viethamese refugee.

Now you’re in danger, you say that you’re a Taiwanese mob boss’s girlfriend.

Why’s your background so complicated?

Yeah, spending time with me is quite dangerous to you.

Are you scared?

Nothing scares me.

Don’t you find it exciting being with me?

Yeah, how did you become a girlfriend of a mob boss?

In Taiwan, I lived near a police station with posters of wanted criminals, right?

One of them had long eyebrows and big eyes.

I walked past there and saw his poster every day.

As the days went by, I fell in love.

What does that mean?

I went looking for him, made him love me.

Were you disappointed when you met him?

He was handsome, a great dancer too.

Really romantic.

Romantic for being a dancer?

You know how to dance?

Of course.

This?

Sure.

How about this one?

Sure.

That’s so boring! You know nothing more exciting?

- Sure. - Really?

Then teach me.

- You’ll be scared. — No way.

Put them here.

Jump up here.

- Jump. - Right!

Right. Ready?

Help!

- Is it exciting? —Yes. That's it?

- Aren’t you scared? — No! Have one more?

If you’re not scared, just hold on tight and stay still.

I’'ll do a lot of variations.

— Okay? - Okay!

Hold on here. Take three steps. One, two, three!

You’re quite heavy.

I’m going to faint! Leave me alone!

Help!

Rubbish makes up the biggest portion of what humans produce.

The recycling business is a gold mine.

- As the saying goes... - What others abandon, I take.

You did well last time.

Slapped those Lion Fund guys in the face.

People are now saying that you’re my protége.

- I'm flattered. - Thank you.

Don’t thank me, thank yourself.

Oh yeah, any new plans?

I heard you want to buy Lo Lai-Wah’s company.

Chi-Ng, do you know what’s the best win?

It’s not about winning at any cost,

but in a way that gains your opposition’s respect.

- Stock Exchange’s closed, boss. - Speak.

Our stock dropped 20%.

Closed at $6.50.

So what’s our drop in asset value?

I think... it’s about two billion.

It’s been confirmed that it was Chan Chi-Ng who’s dumping our shares.

What’s the news on him?

There are rumors of him working with banks and planning on buying our company.

If he’s considering buying, then why dump his shares?

And the stock price is so low. He’ll surely suffer a huge loss.

What’'s Chan Chi-Ng up to?

Boss.

- What happened to you? - We wanted to get even and ambush Chan.

Was he hurt?

Not a scratch.

Why would you do such a thing?

If you did hurt him, how could I face his parents?

And if...

Well, no need to finish that sentence.

You are actually hurt quite badly.

How can I face your parents?

It was Mr. LO’s idea.

What was he thinking? Ordering an ambush after losing a fight.

Why not just stab him in the back with a knife?

What about using a gun to shoot him?

Oh, true.

That’s not heroic, it’s a cowardly act.

If you want to fight, then challenge him openly.

That’s also true.

Yes!

Let’s hire a fighter from overseas.

This fighter will beat him...

with a smaller-sized body.

The most important...

is that he’s more handsome than him.

That will sure piss him off.

What are you doing?

The signal means “go see a doctor.”

Beat it.

I got that wrong?

Mister! Have you seen this person?

That’s... Mary.

No, that’s not Mary. That’s Bunny.

No, that’s Mary.

That’s Bunny, come with me.

- No, Mary’s that way. She’s a masseuse. — No.

— No. This is Bunny. — Bunny? How do you know Bunny?

A masseuse.

— Mary is the masseuse. - I’m talking about massage!

Albert!

Well? Do I look pretty?

Yes.

What?

But your outfit...

This is my best outfit.

Right, go to Jean-Paul’s Boutique in Central District.

Tell him I sent you. He’ll find a dress for you.

You gave me food and shelter.

You even give me money for clothes. How can I accept this?

No need to be worked up.

You’re happy means I’'m happy.

Hey!

- What? — How should I behave at dinner?

You’re playing a mob boss’s lady. Use method acting.

What does that mean?

Whatever...

Just act snooty.

Finally I’'ve done my part.

She forgot something?

Who are you looking for?

- Help! - It’s you!

It’s definitely you!

- Where’s Bu? - Help!

Where’s Bu?

Give her up to me!

Please tell me where Bu is.

— Mr. Chan. — Thanks.

Mr. Chan.

What’re you doing here?

The lady’s so lovely.

Personally, I think some wind effect would make it wonderful.

- You look gorgeous tonight. - I know.

What are you doing?

A vintage red wine, from ’82.

I can also tell that the grape-picker was born in 1960.

And he didn’t wash his feet before stepping on the grapes.

What do you want to eat?

You can decide.

Do you have Clay Pot Rice here?

Just kidding.

Nearly scared me to death.

You got a thing about people watching you eat?

Tell them to go inside. I’ll call for you if I need to.

Why aren’t there any other guests here?

Just you and me tonight.

Then there are no celebrities to see!

My friend said there were many celebrities coming here.

Didn’t realize you’re boring both at home and when going out.

You really don’t have any friends?

Here comes an old one.

Mr. Lo!

Excuse me, Mr. Lo! You can’t go in.

Chan Chi-Ng, tell me... Why are you such a bad guy?

Why are you dumping the price of my company’s shares?

I’m having dinner with my friend. Call me tomorrow.

Tell me, why are you such a despicable person?

You always do things to hurt other people.

Mr. Lo, please don’t be like this.

Sir.

You look intelligent.

I am intelligent.

If you got some spare time, don’t go out too much.

Go home and think of a way to save your company.

Can I ask who you are?

I am Chi-Ng's friend.

He booked the whole place to treat me to a meal tonight.

You’re now disturbing us.

Do you know that’s quite impolite?

Chan Chi-Ng, let’s talk outside.

We’ve things to discuss?

I’ll wait for you outside.

We’'re ready to go! How can you misunderstand that signal?

Wrong again?

You’re snooty.

No big deal. I’'ve been through it all before, right?

You really have to go outside?

Yes. It'll just take a minute.

Chi-Ng.

Be careful.

Be careful.

What’s-your-name, there’s no problem. I already cleared it with your boss.

I’m meeting Mr. Chan. Just close the car park for us.

I’m footing the bill if there’s any loss because of that. Don’t worry, okay?

Fine, Mr. Lo. You four over there, the rest follow me.

Take your time, Mr. Chan.

Lo Lai-Wah.

- What are you up to? - Nothing.

I want you to meet a friend. I hired him from overseas.

Alan is an undefeated lightweight champion.

He will represent me and fight you one-on-one.

I better fight you instead. He and I are different in size.

- Even if I win, people will laugh at me. - Nuts! That’s exactly my purpose.

Think of how funny it’ll be if you lose the fight.

Grow up, Lo Lai-Wah.

Nuts!

Why the gloves?

You’'re nuts! This is not a street fight by thugs.

I plan on winning only, not killing him.

Is it painful being hit by someone wearing gloves?

Not painful? Take one hit, and you might even faint.

Mind your head.

Music.

Alan’s losing big time.

Alan’s just testing him. He wants to see how powerful Chan’s fists are.

Changing gloves mid-fight, why?

To even the odds.

Bigger the glove, bigger the handicap.

That means Chan’s punches aren’t challenging enough.

Every boxer trains to his own music.

When he fights, it gives him rhythm.

And rhythm paces his steps.

Look at Chan Chi-Ng. He’s totally confused.

He’s controlled by Alan’s rhythm.

You seem an expert, boss.

- Why don’t you fight? - Yes, yes!

Chan Chi-Ng and I were sparring partners, but I always lost to him.

So I quit and became a boxing commentator.

- Boxing commentator? - What’s the difference, boss?

The difference is that I’m invincible when I talk about it.

But when actually fighting, I’'m like you guys.

Powerless and useless.

Chan Chi-Ng used to have brilliant moves.

How did he become like this?

Buying companies instead of training must have made him weak.

He deserves it!

Chan Chi-Ng’s nervous, he’ll lose for sure.

Beat us up before?! Still alive?!

Hey, boss, let’s kick him while he’s down!

Yeah!

How many times have I told you?

A man has to be righteous.

Ganging up on a defeated man. Would that make you happy?

Would you be proud of yourself?

Go get the car.

Chan Chi-Ng, you okay?

You didn’t get hurt, did you?

You must be delighted that I lost.

I thought I would be, but now I’'m not sure.

Want me to get help for you?

I’'m done here.

Chi-Ng, call me.

You were here all along?

You asked me to wait for you here, right?

I didn’t see you, so I came to find you.

Did they gang up on you?

No, one-on-one. I lost fair and square.

Losing is no big deal. You’ll get used to it.

Just kidding.

Start training tomorrow, you’ll beat them.

I’ll train, but not for fighting back.

If not for fighting, then what?

A strong body, a quick mind.

In fact, I haven’t been training for ages.

You have such a huge gym. It’s for decoration only?

I hate training alone.

Okay, I'll join you.

Why are you so nice to me?

Because you’re rich.

You’re cute when you smile.

You looked grouchy just now.

It must be why you lost, right?

Come on, stick with smiling.

You’re even more beautiful without makeup and these clothes.

Take tomorrow off.

- Where are we going if not the office? — Promise me first.

- Tell me first. - Say yes first!

Yes. Where should we go?

Go for some fun!

Memories are so many

Anticipation I now dare to indulge

I sketch a hazy future

Knowing this illusion is love

The tides of a lifetime

Widen the shores slowly

Quietly, you and I meet

Our love proves life is ever-changing

— Shooting stars change courses - We fall in love

- Miracles catch up with us — Finally

Like eternity

/s the night really still young?

— Currents change courses too - We fall in love

— The crowds catch up with us — Finally

I can think no more

But this love links the sea with the sky

My eyes have been raining

I can’t hold on with both hands

/ cry as we seek happiness

You’'re just like a shooting star

Those happy moments

Lock you between my brows

No matter how the world dazzles

It pales next to your eternal splendor

— Shooting stars change courses - We fall in love

- Miracles catch up with us — Finally

Like eternity

/s the night really still young?

Do you like me?

- I think you’re quite... - I am asking if you like me or not?

The fact is... when we’re together...

Don’t change the subject.

To say whether you like a person or not only requires five words or less.

I like you.

I do not like you.

I love you.

I do not love you.

You devil! Slipping in here without any sound.

I’'m screwed this time.

I’'m in love.

“Love’s like a series of dreams that leaves only emptiness.

Maybe you’re a born romantic and get fooled by love.”

Don’t bother me. I’m very confused right now.

- I have news that might mess you up more. - What?

Your Longyi from Taiwan came here looking for you.

He squeezed my neck the moment he arrived, but I was smart enough to calm him down.

He’s been drunk like this ever since.

I think it’s my fault.

Geez, it’s love we’re talking about, not sympathy.

Remember, the more you care for him, the worse you are treating him.

Also, before you’ve handled your situation with Chan,

don’t let Longyi see you, or it’ll cause trouble.

Wine...

Still want to drink?

- Let go. - Where are you going?

— To the kitchen. - Kitchen?! Hey!

- Hey! - I need...

- What are you looking for? - I need a... wine glass.

A glass! I'll get it for you.

Go lie down in the living room first.

No pushing.

Albert!

Hey!

Where’s the opener?

Albert.

What a genius you are.

So... so cold!

Albert.

Now what?

I need the opener.

How can I drink without the opener?

Damn, where is the opener?

Hurry!

Who’s that?

The little brat living above us...

is very spoiled. He always stomps on the floor.

It came from above?

Of course, it can’t be coming from the fridge...

It’s from above.

Right, he must have heard that you scolded him.

The opener.

Forget it.

Drink it this way.

- Wait. — Get out.

Drink with me.

- You okay? - I must be honest with Chi-Ng.

A game is fun because of its process.

Once the outcome is revealed, there’ll be no feelings left.

I don’t think so. I know he likes me for real.

Do you know that he skips work to be with me?

I miss him day and night.

I’'m like a child again.

I want to pamper him and hope he’ll do the same to me.

Whenever I see something beautiful,

I want to buy it for him.

Whenever something happens, I want to tell him about it.

I feel so happy right now.

And... so cold!

You do sound like you’re in love.

- What do you want? — I want to drink saké.

- Finish your red wine first before saké. - I don’t want red wine, I want sakeé.

- I want sake. - Right! Just wait outside.

Hang on.

Excuse me. Let me get the saké.

- Give me sake. - Coming!

Why don’t we... play a drinking game?

Drinking game? You think this place is a nightclub?

Stop messing around. We’ve not much time. Just drink up. We’'ll split this.

- Huge glass... - Huge... then let’s add more.

Enough.

Right, cheers.

The way you drink, you’ll get drunk.

Why don’t you drink?

One, two, three, down!

It’'s good you can still make a sound.

She’s safe here with me. Don’t worry.

Here she is.

Gloria, Bu. Gloria’s a good friend of mine.

She’s the one impersonating me whom you told me about?

- Yes! — Quite a resemblance.

So you knew this all along.

Why did you lie to me?

You lied to me first.

All the love I felt between us when you pampered me,

was that just an act?

Actually, we were really happy together during those days.

Do you like Hong Kong?

If so, then you can stay.

What do you take me for?

One of your girlfriends?

I picked up a bottle that led me to you in Hong Kong.

I thought fairy tales were real.

But they’re actually fake.

Did I say something wrong?

No.

- Why don’t you go after her? — No need to.

Miss. Didn’t we meet last time?

- Going back to Taiwan as well? —Yes.

You had fun in Hong Kong?

It was okay.

I bought a lot of things, what about you?

l... bought a story [homophone of “Gucci”].

You bought Gucci as well? So did I.

The government passed the latest environmental legisiation yesterday,

prohibiting the use of non-biodegradable polystyrene.

After the announcement,

the stock of Lo’s company dropped drastically,

from $6.80 to $1.20 a share.

All the major stockholders are racing to sell the shares. Stock price gets lower.

How did you know the law would be passed this year, Mr. Chan?

Regulating polystyrene was only a matter of time.

- What should we do about the bank loans? - It’s up to you to work out the details.

Just to get even.

That’s not my intention.

Let’s discuss it further tomorrow.

The acquisition of the Lo’s is awaiting your decision, Mr. Chan.

We’re done for today.

“Falling maple petals are sentimental.

They became soil to nurture the flowers.”

What are you babbling about?

“They became soil to nurture... nurture the flowers”...

Enough. What does that mean?

I don’t know either.

I’'ve never seen you like this since I worked for you.

Paper everywhere.

Just do what you have to do.

Don’t just sit here and do it.

- What are you saying? — About that...

What?

That thing...

Go away. Leave me alone.

Fine.

The factory’s full of paper. Take your time and rip them all.

How did you get in here?

We broke in.

- Sir. - Call the police.

Surely they’ll stop me.

Just make the call.

See?

What do you want?

You ruined our boss’s company, and we’re close to losing our jobs.

S0 we came to teach you a lesson.

They seem to get along. What are they talking about?

You didn’t study hard when you were small, now you don’t understand.

- Hey, what the hell they talking about? - Not telling you.

What’s the matter?

How do I ask him if he’s okay in English?

SMILE, AND MAKE IT A BETTER WORLD

Hey, get up!

Get up, sir!

Are you okay, sir?

Me?

I’'m fine.

You won, Sir.

I lost.

- Why? - I’'m much heavier than him.

If we were the same weight, he’d have beaten me in no time.

See if he’s all right.

Hey!

You smell of kerosene?

Yeah, the boss is setting fire to the factory!

Fantastic.

we’ll be the prime suspects and go to prison.

Shit, this is getting out of hand.

Watch it, boss.

No sweat.

If we get caught, it’ll be prison time.

We’re doomed.

Tomato!

Come here.

- Hey, you checked that everyone left? - Yes. No one’s there.

- They’ve gone. - Good.

Right. Give this letter to my dad.

— Tell him I love him. — Sure.

Give this to Chan Chi-Ng.

Tell him I hate him.

Okay.

This letter’s for the cops.

So, you’ll not go to prison. I’m claiming all responsibility.

Really, boss? You’re going to prison, not us?

I’m not going to prison either.

Stand aside.

Chan and I will go down together.

Don’t do it, boss. You’ll die!

My eyes hurt.

It doesn’t matter. I’'m dying anyway.

So what if I go blind?

Bye, Mary!

- What the hell are you doing, Lo Lai-Wah? — Chan Chi-Ng!

It’s all your fault.

Why did you take it that far? Dad kicked me off the board.

I have nothing now. Nothing!

I'm finished.

Don’t do anything foolish, boss.

What about us, boss?

- You’re asking me? —Yes.

Shut up, you guys!

Boss!

- Okay now? - A little warmer.

- How’s that? - Just right.

Your eyes still hurt?

Why are you being so nice to me? Didn’t you want to ruin me?

Let me tell you, polystyrene is bad for the environment.

Sooner or later, the government will enforce regulation.

You’re right, I want to acquire your company.

How about we work together? It’'s good business in recycling paper.

That’s not like you.

When we were in school, you had to beat me with the grades.

Whatever we did, you had to be better.

You had to get the girl we were both after.

The worst about you is not wanting them after winning them over.

You never really liked them.

I really hate you.

I hated you too.

You hated me? What for?

For always laughing. For being born so rich.

For your name.

Lai-Wah, what a stupid name for a man.

I hated you most for stealing my puppy love, Chong Lai-Chen.

So it boils down to Chong Lai-Chen.

Hey, but she dumped me!

— She married... Who was it? - The boy from the other class, Lo Yiu...

Lo Yiu-Fai!

What was good about him?

His legs were skinny, but his head was big.

We've fought for so many years,

but we each haven’t committed to loving only one woman.

No, you shouted Mary before trying to set yourself alight?

You’re nuts.

But you yelled quite loud just now.

I got your wedding invitation. What happened?

Don’t even mention it. I chickened out.

But she’s one great dame.

We were so happy together. Laughing all day long.

So happy!

It’s over. I'll never get her back.

I have regret. But what’s the point of regretting now?

She moved overseas, and I lost track of her.

Hey, weren’t you going to give me a shower?

Do it yourself.

What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?

Skipper!

Your Bu is back.

Don’t talk about that, let’s drink!

Cheers!

What’s that?

You want to study?

Considering it.

You’ve grown up.

Love makes people grow up.

Don’t rush...

Don’t force yourself to forget him.

Or else it will be even more difficult to forget.

One day...

when you take a shower and listen to music...

and suddenly you think of him.

Then you’ve forgotten him.

You’re pretty when you smile.

Bu.

Bu.

— Albert! — Bu! Where have you been?

You scared me! Don’t you know I was so worried?

It’s bad for you... if I treat you well.

I like older men.

I’m older than you.

I mean here.

Here?

If I were your girlfriend, we’d break up in three days, tops.

Think a bit, and you’ll get it.

I was so worried. You almost scared me to death, don’t you know?

This lady is so trendy. She must be your mother.

- This is... - Albert, my pal.

You treat me so well. Why don’t you become my adopted sister?

- Adopted sister! - Then I’'m his adopted mother?

Really?

Why not?

- Mom. - Son.

- Mom. - Son.

- No, no. Daughter! - Mom!

Bu!

Did you miss me?

I missed you very much.

Hey! Where are you going?

Bu!

Bu!

I MISS YOU VERY MUCH. CHI-NG

Bu!

Scram!

So it was you who bullied my daughter.

- It wasn’t me. - If not you, then who?!

She used to laugh and smile all the time.

Ever since she came back, not one smile on her face.

As her father, my heart aches for her, you know?

Tell me! What did you do to her?!

I didn’t do anything.

No?! Then why is she like this?

Please let me talk to her, all right?

If you don’t leave,

I’ll show you my ugly side!

- I don’t understand your dialect. - He told you to go! Just get out of here!

Beat it!

Bu!

- Get lost! - Bu.

I---

It’s all right.

You dare to bully my niece? Get lost!

Sir.

I’ll just sit here all day! Let’s see how you can walk past me!

Look how cool your old man is.

Uncle, you okay?

Are you okay, Uncle?

What uncle?! Don’t call me Uncle!

Just let me talk to her.

Talk about what?

No need to talk!

Bu, listen to me...

Listen to what?!

- Bu! - Shut up!

- Bu! - Shut up!

Bu!

I’m warning you!

Either you kill me, or let me talk to her.

All right, let’s see what you have to say! Come on!

Come on, then! Speak up!

Come on, speak up!

Speak!

Don’t disturb them.

No, I want to hear.

Why are you here?

You left these clothes at my house.

I have plenty of these.

I brought Clay Pot Rice.

It’s cold now; still good when warmed up.

You try to coax me with some old clothes and a pot of rice?

There’s more. Come and look.

I put a note in each one.

Saying what?

I love you. I miss you.

None of them more than five words.

It hurt my fingers writing all of them.

Why put so much effort into it?

If you had put $1,000 in each, I would’ve been touched already.

Tell me loud and clear whether you like me or not.

I like you.

Since when?

Since you stole my business card.

What wish did you make when you saw the shooting star?

It’s already come true.

Why are you crying?

Hey, brat!

Kiss her. Kiss her!

I’ll say it in Cantonese: Kiss her.

Kiss her!

- You’re... - I'm Xiao-Jun.

Xiao-Jun? Do I know you?

I’'ve always been your neighbor.

Really? That’s great!

What’s great?

Oh, the weather is great.

Look at them.

The women here are gorgeous.

- If I’'d known before... — Go to hell.

I want you to meet my dolphin.

- Where? - Bu!

Third, check the Japan U.S. nav... navy base... something.

- Didn’t you break up? - We separated.

Separated? Then what should we do if you’ve separated?

There are buses, minibusses and cabs.

And there’s minibusses... There’s minibusses...

- Right. - Is it that funny?

It is very funny.

This is my best outfit.

Right, go to Central District... Jean-Paul’s Boutique...

I can’t stand it...

— Did they leave any evidence? — Baseball bats.

Well? Any clues?

Which way are you turning?

You keep turning, and the arm will break.

Let me te... you something.
