Cut!

How was that? Pretty good, huh?

Great! Does your buddy really do this for a living?

We could always add a scene of him robbing a bank

N0 need.

To change the angle of view of the change

- So? Was one take enough? - Yes

Then I'll just pick up my cheek.

Not so fast.

You have one more job-to find a mansion for our shoot tomorrow.

Cool. But you have to give me more money.

I'll give you a fat lip. Let's go.

You're a pain in the ass to work with.

The crew of the two day's play. Hurry

I need to change my clothes.

Change on the way.Looking for someone to say

Stop checking out the women and check for houses.

- This big house, very, nice. - You think so?

It's Greek style.

Hello

Excuse me, I have a good news for you.

I don't speak English.

My name is Howard.

Welcome to the U.S.

We love Chinese food here.

Aren't you Liu Yuan?

Two years ago when you were in Beijing.

That time you had too much drink.

What time?

When I was in Beijing, I get drunk everyday.

When Liu Xiaodian invited you for dinner.

We had Shanghai food.

Oh yeah, right remember now.

But the woman I remember was dark skinned and fat.

That was Liu Xiaodian.

Remember?

I was sitting next to her.

You are something else.

You were so drunk we had to take you home.

You threw up all over me in the taxi.

And he wrote his phone number on your hand.

Right?

And as he wrote, he said... "Little sister, whenever you end up alone."

"...remember that you have a big brother in America."

How do you know? You weren't even there.

He always writes his number on a girl's hand when he's drunk.

Business, let's talk business.

What do you mean?

They're a film crew from Beijing

We used to know, like Liu Xiao Dian also known

and want to shoot a scene here.

N0 way, absolutely not.

Just for one day.

This isn't my house.

I just got to America and I'm watching the house for these people.

What a jerk, I don't like you.

Like I give two hoots.

Hurry up, get off the car!

Thank you, sir!

You are welcome, guys.

Come here Liu Yuan.

What's up?You said nothing would be moved. Look at this mess.

- Nothing has bee moved. - Nothing moved?

Hey, be careful. l've already seen two cigarette butts. Two butts!

Can we still move stuff?

Come sit sit sit

We're making a movie, not a news story.

Even one scene is a hassle.

Are you trying to get rne killed?

The neighbors are for sure going to say something.

How do you expect me to explain this?

- Listen to me. - I don't want to.

We'll be done soon.

We'll make the place look like new before we leave.

Scout's honor.

I had no right to let you in here.

These people were nice enough to let me into their home

and look what happened.

Isn't the owner Chinese?

We Chinese need to help each other.

This crew shot "Beijingenese in New York" too.

That show looked good because it took some time to make.

I didn't like that TV series. It wasjunk.

The more reason to help them.

If you don't...

then you won't want to watch this show either.

It could be shown all over the word, so who's gonna lose?

Only the Chinese would lose face.

Don't you think you should help?

Don't you care about our national dignity. Comrade Li Qing?

You're impossible.

Look what you've done.

The bulb you used baked the shade to a crisp.

I'll replace it with a new one.

Oh really? You have that kind of money?

Look at this. Look at the marks left by the wires.

And the window. This isn't Beijing! You're not theone who has to explain this.

Calm down.

I won't leave till I clean everything up.

Just go.

Xiao Lu, that's the last goddamn time I help your shit crew.

Cut the bullshit.

What is the seventh generation of directors? Nobody even cares for the eighth generation!

So don't try, using that as an excuse.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who's in the kitchen?

Shi, be quiet. I won't hurt you.

Sorry, baby. My friend scared you? Well, don't talk or worry. lt'll be OK!

How much?

Fifty.

N0. N0. No. Jack, ten.

N0. No. No. For ten bucks. I can give you this.

- It's Russian. You will like it. It's very nice. - I like it.

- You like it, OK. - Hold off Hold off

- don't move. don't move. don't move. - Come on, I don't have anything.

OK, listen, Look at this, like watches. You can't have that.

This is my grandfather's watch, come on, any thing else!

Come on, anything else! Come on, anything else!

It's not right. You know this is not right, right. You always do me this way.

- Fifty. Thank your grandpa. - you know what, this is not fair, fifty dollar.

You do this all the time, right. You are always getting over.

I don't know why you do this to me.

You are really cheap. You know that right.

You are always doing this to me.

I can't even buy little drink with this.

You know that is wrong. right.

- Shut up. peace. - Shut up. peace.

You always do me that way.

Sucker.

Li Qing!

It's me. Still not overjet lag?

Li Qing,

lt's Liu Yuan.

What happened?

Who did this?

Who did this?

Don't be afraid.

They didn't want you. They wanted your money.

As long as people's okay.

To have a look your things!

Did they take your money?

No

It's all gone

Even without a passport

Impossible.

Burglars only want your money.

Not your passport. Look again.

My passport's still here.

You see I told you, I'll call the cops.

You have to find me a place to stay.

I can't stare here. lt's too creepy.

Go inside and sleep on the bed.

Where are we?

My house.

How come you live in a bus?

Where else should I live?

This is a way of life. You wouldn't understand.

Mrs. Luo.

I'm an agent for Frank Insurance Co.

Congratulations on immigrating to America.

May I also say that we were very happy

to find out that you have settled in lovely Pasedena.

I think we have a wonderful plan for your family.

Our company's insurance rates are very low,

and compensation is very high.

If you would consider purchasing a policy from Frank Insurance

I would be happy to provide free consulting services to you.

OK, OK, l'll call some other time.

Allow me to wish you a good day. Bye.

You're an insurance salesman too? Exactly what do you do?

I don't have a steady job. I do anything that makes money.

Go to sleep.

If you have something to say, we can talk tonight when I get back.

Where are you going?

I still have to make a living.

Go to sleep.

The bread winner is home.

Looks like you made yourself at home.

I only cleaned because there wasn't even a place to put a foot down.

What should I do?

Put something on, it's cold out.

I don't understand thing.

Why did you come to America?

I wanted to get into trade.

Give me a break.

Everyone comes here wanting to do trade

and they all end up washing dishes.

Don't stand by, and saying critical words give me some Suggestions.

You really want my advice?

The good or the bad?

Go on.

The only thing for you to do is pack up and go home.

What about the good?

That was the good.

L'm not trying to scare you.

Right now, you don't have any money or any status.

How can you stay?

America isn't what you think it is.

If you think you're going to get rich from international trade.

You'll end up miserable.

I can take it.

I'm not as wimpy as you make mw sound.

So what if you can take it.

The fact is that you can't do anything here.

If people are cursing...

...you can't even understand.

D0 you want to do strip tease?

If I was your sister would you let rne be a strip dancer?

If you were my sister, I wouldn't have let you come to America.

And what about strip tease?

You think it's just a question of putting aside your dignity?

You have to be able to do the splits and lift your leg up as high as someone's head.

Can you do that?

Who would want to go see that bonny body of yours anyway?

Nice girl.

One thousand per night. OK.

You are crazy.

It's late.

You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep out here.

Think hard about what I said.

If you think I'm right, I can take you to the airport tomorrow.

No gentleman so don't trust me.

I want to touch you on the bed in the middle of the night don't hesitate

America isn't fun.

Here's a memory to prove you came to America.

I'll pay you back for the ticket.

Forget it. Who Knows!

Maybe one clay I'll have to beg a meal off you in Beijing.

You're a good guy.

I don't know.

I'm serious.

Don't get sentimental on me, or I might ask you to stay.

Please give this letter to my aunty.

I will. Say hi to Liu Xiaodian and the gang for me.

L'm going now.

Goodbye.

Bad

What has happened?

Well look who it is!

Why did you come back?

I never left.

We better move the cars.

That day at the airport,

I didn't feel right. I was barely over myjetjag and I was going home.

I couldn't do it, so finally I decided to...

Sell yourself?

Go to hell.

Cashed in my ticket, took the money and rented a place

and then started looking for work next day.

- So what are you doing? - BMW

Oh. The big time!

I'm working part time. And studying part time.

What's yourjob?

I do everything.

It's so weird us bumping into each other.

So where do you live?

I just rented a place with a girl on Orange Drive.

Pretty good neighborhood.

I used to live in Little Taipei.

The newspapers were Chinese, the TV was in Mandarin...

...the gas stations restaurants and cleaners were all run by Chinese. Even the postmen were Chinese.

I used to lie in bed and wonder

ifl had moved to Guangzhou.

And it's the suburbs.

Pretty rough I feel for you.

Yes.

But some people even have it tougher.

Like who?

Like General Patton. He used to live there.

Think about it,

the guy who conquered Europe

returns home to find his old neighborhood occupied by Chinese.

I'm sure he's turning in his grave.

Oh shut up. Why do you have to be so annoying.

Pull the car over.

What did I do?

Pull the car over.

Show me your license.

That smile of yours is deadly.

It stunned me and the cop didn't know what to do.

I wouldn't have run the red light if you weren't talking to me.

You talk too much.

I'm just happy to see you. Fate is telling us something.

So what have you been doing for the last year,

still selling life insurance?

N0, I'm selling cemetery plots now.

If you want to bury your bones in L.A. l'm your man.

L'm an agent for Rose Hill Cemetery.

You are so bad.

I'm doing a good thing.

Let's eat Chinese.

Don't change your mind, we're almost there.

It's my treat.

I know, even if we have Chinese.

Hi Steven.

Why is it so quiet today?

Everybody's lying on the floor.

Let's go! Move it, come on, down on your knees, around the side.

Fuck, this place is being robbed.

Shut the fuck up, or you are a dead men.

Come on, get the wallet.

Check this up, here she is a little bonny.

Get the money. let's get out of here.

Maybe later baby

Don't fucking look.

Check this up, we got a check book here.

No money, no good.

Scary huh? first time I've been robbed

My second.

Let's say you how so unlucky

To meet an accident

hello, I have no interest in your product.

Liu Yuan. It's Kang Xiaopeng.

I've opened a travel agency and I need to talk to you ASAP.

Call me back when you hear this.

Mr. Liu, thank you for finding a good resting place for my uncle.

I sincerely invite you to attend my unole's funeral tomorrow.

It's Daoming, I just started a feng Shui masters class,

especially for banks.

Since we're friends. l'm willing to give you half of tuition.

By the way did you use that spray paint I gave you on the mirror?

If you didn't gonna have bad luck.

N0 wonder.

Here's a little more to say.

The words in our hearts are seldom enough to meet the need of a special moment such as this

when our life is touched by a special person.

And you shall never be the same.

At grave's slow wisdom...

...we'll be perceiving that farewell is necessary before we can meet again.

But meeting again is certain, again after moments or a life.

The lord keep you...

We also are friends.

The lord bless you...

May the lord shine upon you, bless you.

The lord lived up thy continent and smile upon you.

And give you peace.

The peace, the passions, human understandings that create the space in which we all may go for ever.

In the name of father, son and holy spirits, Amen!

Where's the reception today?

Seaside Holiday Inn.

Thing thing

You here to just join the fun.

I'm not here for fun, I've been trying to find you everywhere.

How come you didn't answer my message?

What could be so urgent?

I travel agency business special fire can't come

I want you to be vice president.

And you can help me find a cute girl to be tour guide.

It won't even interfere with you selling graves.

How much you paying?

Don't worry about that.

Liu Yuan, come over here.

This is a nice car.

You come to Liu Yuan

Come out here.

What are you doing here this time of night?

When you told me you worked at BMW,

I knew you could only be a cleaning lady.

I'm telling you I've cleaned a lifetime of windows in the last year.

Good If you can do this it means that you have settled down,

building a foundation it's always bitter first and sweet later.

This is how I started too.

Say what you came to say,

if they see me talking to you my boss will fire me.

I'm here to tell you that you can fire your boss.

I'm begging you to go.

You're the one who's going to go. You can quit yourjob.

And then What?

I found you a job 20,000 a year as a tour guide,

I'm vice president and the boss is a friend,

You'd be doing real work,

good or bad, rich or poor, it's up to you.

Thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. Just go.

I'll wait for your call tomorrow.

Hello, this is Pan-Asia Travel. Can I help you?

Enough of the help you stuff. Hurry up and get a rental van over here.

And who said this group was a business delegation anyway it's a whole goddamn family.

You take them to the hotel I'll deal with the luggage.

The only way before you got in the first of their passport

Why?

What if one tries to slip off?

You sure are a slick one.

Give me your passports.

Why?

You asked me why from the airplane I know why you

Didn't you take those diplomacy classes before coming here?

Yeah.

Then just do what I tell you. Give me your passports.

Here it is.

You said this was going to be a desk job answering phones and booking tickets,

then how come I'm lugging bags around on my first day?

I never thought you were so strong, A desk job is wasting your talent.

Great, I've just joined the army.

Thank you.

N0 problem.

Hold on, So you think you're a real iron man, huh? Look at you sweating.

How did you know I was hungry?

Just now when we were eating, I saw you running,

I thought you were the man a little serious are not

Also did not expect very dedicated

Little Li, you have also shown admirable behavior and have been an examplary worker...

Cut the crap.

L'm telling you, those people Kang Xiaopeng

brought over are not on a business trip. They're like a mob of thugs.

As soon as they got here they asked me to take them to a strip joint.

That's sick. Did you say yes?

I told them the American police were cracking down on pornography.

I told them if the cops arrested you,

they stamped the word "pervert” in your passport.

You just open your mouth and bullshit comes flying out.

If you want to hear the truth l'll tell you late one night.

Oh shut up.

You're a good assistant.

My clothes got ruined today.

You head back and clean up while I finish up here.

You can take my oar,l have to stay here and take these guys shopping tomorrow.

Here's your Coke and fruit.

This place is worse than the guest houses back home.

It doesn't even have boiled water.

It's notjust this place, it's every hotel in America.

That's impossible. America has hot water 24 hours a day.

Are you pretending to be stupid? That's for showering.

That's the way America is, so deal with it.

N0 way. All we want is some tea, that's not too much to ask.

OK. Well talk to the hotel and see what we can do.

I never imagined. How weird.

You never imagined?

You better get prepared for the fact that America is a tough place.

Are they here to arrest us?

D0 what I do. Don't make any sudden moves.

American cops will shoot.

Why?

I don't know the fuck why!

L'm Smith from the INS of L. A.

The federal government entrusted me to have a search of the Chinese residents here.

Please don't resist.

Put your hand behind your head, come out in order.

You have the right to keep silent.

Any words you say now will be used as the evidence against you in court.

You can call your lawyer, family and friend.

Kang Xiaopeng, you come clean with me,

are you a fucking illegal alien trafficker?

Are you trying to fuck us over?

How do you want me to explain this to Li Qing?

Don't worry, we'll be fine.

We will explain everything when we get to the INS.

L'm glad you are innocent.

But I want to remind you that as the witness of the INS,

you need to inform me if you want to leave this town.

Here is my card, if you have any problem, call me.

Baby comes to mama

I'm gonna kill you.

Be quiet!

This is not the day. Let's get you home.

Don't call me, don't look for me

and don't let me see you again Forget about me. OK?

Take care of yourself.

- You don't listen to me! - What are you doing?

This is the same thing I don't wana to endure it any more.

What you do.

Throw your shit out.

Don't throw my computer.This is my apartment.

Fucking christ, what did you do this is my computer.

Qing, how to say go to Hell in Chinese.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone. OK,Thank. Leave me alone! Robin.

I leave for a second and you start goofing off.

If you don't learn Chinese,

You can't understand the splendid culture built by our ancestors.

Then you won't know the pride of being Chinese.

We don't understand what you're talking about.

More reason to study hard.

I'm going to check your handwriting tomorrow so do your exercises.

Class dismissed.

Teacher Li, hello hello

Today they are naughty?

Better than yesterday. All children like to play.One day at a time.

Somebody put an ad in the paper today looking for you.

For me? Take a look. Who would be looking for me?

Say goodbye to the teacher.

Bye.

Li Qing. It's been a long time.

I don't know if you're still in L.A, or even in the States.

I lost you a year ago today I don't want to cause trouble

I just want to see you again,

l'll wait for you at the spot

where we said goodbye.

Be there or be square.

Li Qing, is that you?

Don't play dumb.

You want to see me so bad that you forgot what I look like?

What are your hands doing? Are you blind?

It is you. You came.

What's wrong? Can't you see me?

Yes, I can see you.

At night in the darkness I see you looking at with the sun shining behind you.

You look as transparent as pure cubes of ice in a crystal glass.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were blind.

How did it happen?

It was a car accident I lost consciousness

and when I woke up I couldn't see.

I was really depressed for a while.

N0 friends, no home,

The only person I wanted to see again was you.

You've lost weight.

You've lost weight.

Let's find a place to sit down.

We can talk.

You've changed.

Changed into someone who can't say anything nice?

N0,

into someone who is at peace.

Tell me about the old Liu Yuan.

Actually, I always liked you.

You're optimistic with lot of crazy ideas and little naughty.

Women are attracted to men like you.

Even though you speak with an edge,

you have a good heart and you treated me well.

It's just that every time I saw you,

I was really a little bit scared. I was not sure what's going to happen next.

So instead ljust left and avoided you.

Looks like you were right l'm bad luck for myself too.

Now I'm just a useless blind guy.

Don't say that.

What should I think?

It's not as if I can do things like a normal person anymore.

All I see is darkness,

the sun only shines in my dreams.

I've dreamed of you.

You were standing so clearly in front of me.

Make me excited

Once awakened, be torn with grief

What I would give to see just a shred of light.

But I can only use my hearing to imagine.

It is hard for you to say something nice.

I already got my green card,

and I opened a flower shop. Hard to believe, huh?

It is very beautiful!

Can I send a bunch of flowers for you?

I should be giving you flowers. What kind do you like?

Red or blue?

I'm sorry, I forgot you can't see.

Don't worry.

I can smell them. My sense of smell is great since I lost my sight.

Let's go. Hey, whose wallet is that?

Where?

Where? Where?

I can see again.

That's the power of love.

I was just joking. How can you turn so mean so quick?

Don't you have any sense of humor?

It didn't hurt you. And besides, didn't I pour my heart out to you?

You have a heart?

Time has gone so fast.

I suddenly feel like it was just yesterday that I was here.

You have warm feelings for this place?

If I get rich one day I definitely will buy this mobile home

and look at it and think of how hard things were and how good they became.

Why don't you move in with me?

Why? I have my own place.

We're not spring chickens anymore, so why not?

We can be companions.

Live together, huh? How do I know you wouldn't try to sell rne too?

What? You think I'm a wolf covered in human skin?

You think too much of yourself.

If anything, you're just a chicken-stealing weasel.

Come here. What are you doing?

Didn't you just call me an old lay?

That's no way to show respect for your elders.

Let's not behave like a fly and a fly swatter.

What? Hair

Why did you shave your head?

People say if you shave it lt will grow back You don't like it'?

It looks great.

Let's get serious. Can you do me a favor?

N0.

Then forget it.

OK, what is it?

I want to go to San Francisco.

Can you watch my shop for a few days?

And take care of my students?

Ican%teach I don't even know all Chinese words.

All you have to do is review with them.

Alright.

Why are you going to San Francisco?

To see a friend.

Man or woman?

Why are you so curious? It's none of your business.

I'm just asking. I worry about you.

There are a lot of bad people out there.

If I can handle you, I can handle anyone.

Don't worry.

Call if you think of me. Don't get a stand in.

If I fall in love l'll bring him back for your approval.

My name is Liu Yuan Last name Liu First name Yuan,

Chinese put the last name first,

out of respect for our ancestors.

Americans do the opposite

because they only respect themselves.

Is this interesting for you?

N0.

Then l'll quiz you on writing.

Who can write my name on black board.

That's the wrong Liu.

Teacher, I know.

That's even more wrong That's the "liu" in the word hooligan.

What's a hooligan?

A bad man. Do I look like a bad man?

Yes.

Why are you not talking?

I'm confused.

Shit!

Down on the ground!

Down on the ground!

Don't cause trouble!

Don't cause trouble!

Stop talking trash!

One more time. Stop talking trash!

Students, this is Principal Li.

Hello!

N0, no, should not say good

That's it for today. Class dismissed.

Sen/e the People!

You're back?

I trusted you didn't I?

Did I betray your trust?

Who's going to come into the store

with all those police cars out there?

Why are you such a trouble-maker?

Listen.

I'm fed up with you.

I worked my butt off for this store.

It finally starts to do OK,

It finally starts to do OK,

and look what you do. Now listen.

This is a check from the Monterey Park police. 5,000 dollars.

Ten police three times a week for two hours for eight weeks.

All we have to do is teach them a few words in Chinese

Most of the residents under the supervision of Monterey Park police are Chinese.

And most of them can't speak English while the policemen know nothing about Chinese.

Therefore language obstruct the communication when the police are on duty.

So all the Chinese residents in the area won't keep walking when the police ask them to halt.

I knew the flower shop wasn't doing great,

so I went to the police

and they thought the intensive language classes was a great idea.

Is that clear enough for you?

L'm giving you all the money. lt's up to you.

Continue the classes or not if not,

just give the police the money back.

L'm spilth.

I bought this for you in San Francisco.

You can toss it if you don't like it.

We can split the tuition money and be partners.

Tell the truth

You are very boring I really have a little tired of you

Tonight dinner's on me.

You should put off your hat here.

This used to be the church choir rehearsal room.

What do you think?

We can even put the kids class in the courtyard.

That way business at the flower shop won't be interrupted.

Not bad. How much is the rent?

I can take you to do your I have made

You've made my life so much easier.

Why don't you be the principal?

Let's sing "The Lovers' Melody"

This is a church. Then forget it.

Please show me

Please show me

Your credentials

Your credentials

Your license.

Your license.

Please remove... Drive carefully.

Please remove... Drive carefully.

Have you had dinner yet?

Have you had dinner yet?

Eat

Eat

Eat eat

Eat eat

OK, now we'll try the words we learned just now once again.

Bright, Yuanyuan, you two

Now you are meeting a Hutong in Beijing

and use the vocabulary.

Teacher Liu.

Come here, watch my kids do their little skit.

Have you eaten, principal?

I haven't had a bite to eat.

Now what do we say?

Go get something at home.

Go get something at home.

What are you doing? Do you really want to teach?

What? I'm doing a good job.

I don't care what you teach the police.

But these are kids and this is a real school,

not a comedy lounge.

You have to take it seriously.

You think I just blabber,

but it took me a long time to come up with this.

The kids love it and don't nod off

and their parents say their Chinese is getting better.

Wherever I try to say something you disagree with you'll prepare a speech to retort.

We have to teach them something useful.

Look, these kids can't even speak Chinese freely,

how could they understand sophisticated Chinese essay if I teach them that.

It takes time.

You think if I attack tonight

that I can defeat Change Kai-shek's army tomorrow But I can't.

Our retreat today is so we can advance tomorrow.

Just like romance. You start with a kiss

before you do "you know what"

You must train children's habit for study first then say other word

I guess that makes sense.

It's OK if you have criticism but

Don't let it affect our work.

Know strict requirement to yourself

I'm going back to class.

Go on, your students are waiting.

How come I feel like you ended up teaching rne a lesson?

Wrong. I taught you that word. One more time. l'll count.

One, two, three, Cheese!

I don't know what to do now that the kids are gone.

We should take a trip.

Trip? I'm just getting started.

I want to start another class.

Don't try to avoid me.

Enough work.

We need to take our relationship a step further.

D0 you always have to bring that up.

It's like you are just out ofjail.

If you only let me see rain but no rainbow,

then maybe we should just stick to work.

I've been meaning to tell you something.

But I don't want to hurt you.

Take it easy on me. l've been hurt too many times.

Look at me.

L've made progress each of the three years I've been here.

But you. You are still the same after 10 years.

I don't want to make money like you.

I want to enjoy every minute of life.

That's worth 10years to me.

It's not about money. lt's about you not having any ambitions.

This is the Himalayas.

This is Tibet and this is Nepal,

south of the mountains extends slowly to the Indian Ocean.

The air off the Indian Ocean

makes Nepal a fertile land with an eternal spring.

Butnoflh.

It's nothing but snow and hardship where nothing grows.

Where are you going with this?

What if we blew a 50-kilometer wide channel

through the Himalayas,

allowing the warmth from the Indian Ocean into Tibet?

Try to imagine

That our beautiful Qinghai Tibet Plateau From then on out of backward hat not

Just think how plentiful it would be.

It's still a good idea.

I don't think 1O of me would be as smart as you.

Let me take you to Alaska to see the glaciers.

I want to prepare for class.

You go by yourself. l'll give you 2O days off.

Are you 90mg?

N0.

Are you 90mg?

N0.

Then I'll go by myself.

It's me. Did you have fun?

Time to return to reality. Give me a call.

It's Liu Yuan. How was your break?

I have some news. l'm getting married.

She's an American girl I met two weeks ago.

She gave all of herself to me.

I couldn't get rid of her even if I wanted to.

Monica knows how much I like you and she wants to meet you.

D0 you have time tomorrow?

We want to take you to lunch Bye.

I forgot to tell you.

Meet us tomorrow at noon at the Lido Greek restaurant.

Be There or Be square.

Don't cry. I can't bear to see you upset.

I thought you didn't care.

L'm sorry.

I was going to tell you in a letter.

But then I thought I should tell you in person.

Why are you all alone? Where's the new wife?

Fiancée. She's in the bathroom.

Thank you.

Are you randy to order?

One more person.

Thanks for coming I hope you and Monica can become friends.

She's very sweet.

Congratulations. You finally found your soul mate.

Was it love at first sight?

I wouldn't go that far.

But we feel Temoqi talk.

You know my English suck.

But she understands me even before I finished my sentences.

It was weird.

Isn't that good?

I don't know. She's like you in some ways. But different too.

Why compare us? lt's not as if you and I are together.

I didn't compare you on purpose. lt's just I can't help it.

Really, maybe you don't care about me.

But I can't get you out of my mind.

It's just that Monica got to me,

and I would feel bad if I didn't marry her.

To be honest, l'm really confused.

I think that's terrible.

Eating what's on your plate but eyeing the kitchen.

If she's so sweet and loves you so much,

you should be more responsible.

You need to change.

It's not that I'm saying that you're unreliable,

always talking trash.

Someone as old as you,

been through a lot,

should at least know to be sensible with others.

But it's like you'll never grow up.

Don't be mad. l'm just saying that because I want to help.

I know. And everything you said is true.

But Monica sees all those things as good.

We've talked about it.

You say I'm unreliable but she thinks that I'm just independent.

You say l'm immature,

but she thinks that is the cutest thing about me.

Western and Chinesepeople' s values are different.

But I don't mean that your value are wrong.

American girls, If they love you,

they love you to death and they don't care if they chase after the guy.

Chinese girls, they might like you,

but they pretend that they don't

They think the'l I getjust saying that Monica did something to me.

If she kept me guessing I would have said forget it.

You're not young either You should think about yourself.

It would be great to find someone who totally falls for you.

Monica and I met by chance,

it's something you can want but you have to wait for it.

You need to be practical and

find someone who is good enough,

who has most of the things you want...

Good enough?

Why do I have to find someone?

So what if I don't?

Better nothing than settling for "good enough".

I can take care of myself,

I don't need you telling me what to do.

Calm down.

Me calm down? You're the one who's freaking out.

I was just trying to help.Well don't.

You numbskull, don't you ever learn.

You fell for that shithead's tricks again.

Your girl wasn't in the bathroom.

Maybe she took off with another guy.

My girl wasn't in the bathroom. Maybe she took off with another guy.

Ifl hadn't come you would have waited for nothing.

But I fell for you trick again.

But it wasn't for nothing if you didn't come I would know you didn't care about me.

Just because I came doesn't mean I care about you.

So why were you so angry just now?

Women always chug water when they're mad.

How come you're such a jerk.

Did you just put it on?

I swear to chairman Mao that it doesn't go with you dress.

I want to wear it.

Take a picture for me

Take a picture for me

Interesting.

This is good wine I really...

This is good wine I really...

Did you buy your ticket?

For tomorrow noon, direct to Beijing.

Your mom's stroke was so sudden.

I only went back once in theselO years,

and I hardly spent any time at home.

What a waste for her to raise me.

This is some medicine for your mom.

If it works, l'll send you more.

Thanks.

Can you do me a favor?

Of course, What is it?

I gave my mobile home to a car dealer and gave him you number.

He'll call you when he sells it.

I only trust you to hold the money for me.

You're selling the mobile home? Where will you live when you get back?

If you need money, I can lend you some.

I have money.

I might not be coming back.

L'm going to find a job in Beijing I can't leave my morn again.

What about us?

D0 you want me to go back with you?

You have finally got things going right here.

You have finally got things going right here.

It would be a mistake to give it up for me.

It would be a mistake to give it up for me.

Not to be mean, but we're together.

Don't beat around the bush.

You is it right? Want to say you want with me together

Your mother won't be in trouble

That's not what I meant.

That's exactly what you meant. Don't deny it.

I'm just saying I don't want to hurt you.

We're better off as friends.

Let's just pretend we never met.

I don't want to see you again.

And if I asked you to go back with me?

I wouldn't do it.

Several years passed and

I didn't see her or have any news of her.

I had lost the woman I loved.

I always thought we would meet again,

Maybe on the street,

maybe at a coffee house.

I believed that as long as we were nearby,

we would both feel each other.

Now l'm an old man.

I never married or had children.

But I can't just leave this world

because I know she is here and

she needs my care,

Didn't expect to see me, did you?

What are you doing on the plane?

Just cause your heartless doesn't mean I am.

What happened to the man sitting next to me?

I changed seats with him.

What were you dreaming about?

I had a dream that we were too old not to like to see

I think we were in a retirement home.

I regretted leaving you when I was young.

I had decided to come back with you when you found out about your morn.

Even though I didn't say it. I wanted you to.

What's going on? What's wrong?

The plane's in trouble. Quick, buckle your seatbelt.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry to tell you that the plane is experiencing some trouble.

We are trying to deal with it.

Please stay calm and remain in your seats.

In order to prevent accidents, lifejackets please

Here we go again.

It's my fault. You shouldn't be on this plane.

If I die, promise you'll visit my mom in hospital.

But don't tell her I died.

I promise.

Oh forget it. If the plane crashes, you'll be dead too.

I want to die together.

That way, one of us won't have to be alone.

We're goners for sure this time.

Don't worry.

It's in the hands of fate.

Looks like we don't have much time.

Will you hold me?

Closer.

I want everyone to know we're a couple.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are happy to inform you that the problem has been solved.

We are continuing to our original destination - Beijing.

We're sorry for the trouble

and thank you for your cooperation.

We' re getting married after we get off this plane .

Your teeth are fake too? What did you just say?

Let's get married

when did you start to love me?

Today.

When we get to Beijing, don't speak English to rne anymore, OK ?

Let me have a check to see any other part of your body is fake.
