Hello ladies and gentlemen

This film is a joint production

of MandarinVision and Creamfilm

with help from industry-acclaimed Creamfilm Production Co.

We invited the industry's notoriously difficult Miss Yeh

and Mr. Chung to act as producers

I'm the director who saw it through to the end

A-Yao

Over the course of the film

I will from time to time

chime in with a few words

to share my own ideas

and explain the story

Please enjoy the film

I won't bother you for now

I'll appear again

when necessary

Motherfucker

What the fuck's that drumming?

The beat's all fucked up

Pigeon

You haven't even weighed it

Only 100?

This brick here

has thousands of bottles

and it's barely over NT5000

I drop more on the ground

than what you pick up

Come on

NT100

It'll be gone in one meal

Belly Button

My business used to be small

Now it's grown

Frankly

I don't deal in your tiny volumes anymore

If it wasn't that we're classmates

I wouldn't take this

One hundred's not enough?

One hundred twenty?

How about I give you one fifty?

Ma

Sorry I'm late

Are you feeling better?

Yes, still a bit dizzy

Ma, how about

I ask the nurse to get you another drip?

All right

All right?

Nurse

Could you please give my mother another IV drip?

It's almost 5 already

We can't hook up another IV

Please

Please

Nurse

Obama

How much longer?

Just a bit longer

You think I'm playing in here?

It's hot as fuck

My underwear's soaked

Hot as hell

Your friend's here

Motherfucker

You only come when there's food?

No

I took my mom to the health center

Work's almost over

Start cleaning up

In this factory, everyone shows concern for a mother's welfare

It's a form of human considerateness

Pickle has temp jobs during the daytime

He works here as night watchman

He sweeps the factory before everyone leaves

Froggy, what are you doing?

Be careful

Froggy, can you be nice?

You're making me deaf

What now?

Not happy with work?

No, no, no

Why's the Buddha head like that?

The one yelling in front

is the factory boss, Kevin

The one grabbing ass in the back

is Congressman Gao and his assistant Valérie

Although Gao won't have many scenes

the story of his struggle

is worth our attention

Ten years ago

from street-level political organizer

he climbed to congressman

After his fifth consecutive election

the deputy speaker sent him a fine mahogany table

But ever since Valérie arrived

Congressman Gao's mahogany table

suddenly grew a new panel

It's mainly for the benefit of Valerie's work

When others conduct business on the computer

Valérie hides underneath

and operates Congressman Gao's joystick

This room's dark as pitch

How can we get customers like this?

My boss said it would cut costs

There's usually no one here

Everything depends on the room inside anyway

Young man, Make me some instant noodles

with egg

You still want that?

Thank you

Business is good today

It's getting by

One order of noodles

with one egg

Are you fucking kidding?

A grocery and game shop isn't enough

now we have to cook noodles too?

You think I can do this all by myself?

Belly Button loves crane games

It's hard to understand why a middle-aged man

would take an interest in them

I always wanted to ask Belly Button

why he likes crane games so much

Crane games are like therapy

How're you and Little Orchid doing?

Another guy stole her

Who's the culprit?

A young factory worker fresh from the army

So impressive

He's very tall

and has a car

Having a girlfriend's just a waste of money

For you

going home and humping the wall should be enough

Pickle

Pickle

Pickle

Coming

Stop yelling

Is your boss here?

He's out rubbing elbows

Motherfucker

He's always drinking and rubbing elbows

Can you work without rubbing elbows?

Does he pay you much then?

What were you doing just now?

Nah, I'm helping our boss clean that old Benz

He ought to drive the new one

Just write that old one off for me to sell

You see

Don't say I don't treat you well

I came here specially

to show you this beauty

Why's it sticky?

Goddamn

Just appreciate it

Don't fuss

Look

Damn good shots

That ass is soft and smooth

The photographer should've won the Nobel Prize

Fuck

Just chewing that underwear

would make life worth living

I can give you this pair to chew

You can chew it yourself

Your boss has got it good

Studying abroad

a beautiful wife

a good car

his whole family moved to America

That's life

Birth is eight-tenths of destiny

Even the richest

still eat only three meals a day

Fuck

Let's eat a fourth meal now

You make tea

Wait for me

I'll go fetch some good stuff

First of all, let's introduce

our impeccable

Commissioner of Culture

Let's have a round of applause

One of us

Next, let's introduce

the artist who studied in America

Chairman Kevin

As for myself

Everyone knows

I am the deputy speaker

Bill Small

Applause

Louder

More enthusiasm

Let me say

I usually charge big bills

But we're buddies

so for you, I Bill Small

See how moderate I am

Come

First of all, let's invite our brother

to sing a song

Warm yourselves up first

Let's welcome our bureau chief

and our artist

All right?

Let's give him a round of applause

Bamboo shoots, once harvested, stiffen quickly

without Li Hua Fan's magic, who moves mountain and sea

A girl in love should marry

Don't let her fall into harlotry

As the ripened rice field fears the typhoon

the girl fears her pregnancy discovered too soon

Left hand pulls dress over her swollen bulge

Right hands beckons customers to indulge

As the sugarcane is hard but full of juice

The tea shop girl is sweet but keeps aloof

Using thousands upon thousands of his coin

Right?

When he invites her to walk

she's too busy to join

It's really enough

I'm pissed off

The sun blazes over the land in June

She invites him to travel to Penghu

By planes, ferries, and automobiles

Luxurious seafood for three meals

Wax apple blossoms redden every tree

But on one, a fierce wasp can be seen

Ah

There's a car parked outside

A woman's standing next to it

This one

Don't worry about what's outside

She must be here to see your boss

There wasn't much today

Good thing I went early

or it would've been sold out

Why do you always bring cold curry?

You can't warm it with your lighter?

Be glad you can eat

You're so picky

Goddamn

This is broken

It's been broken for days

This curry has only carrots

Not a scrap of meat

If it's broken, you don't fix it?

If you're so great

then go find a new one for me

How can you eat without television?

What's good on TV?

This bit's frozen

Can't break it apart

We can just watch the news

All they do now

is show car dashcam videos and call it news

Pickle

Your boss' old car

that Benz

Is he still driving it?

Not in a long time

Does he have a dashcam set up?

He should

Take it out and have a look

See where he's been doing his good deeds

Don't snoop in people's stuff

My boss is very mean

To hell with that

When you finish, will you tell your boss

"Boss,"

"I took a look at your dashcam"

"I know the good deeds you've been doing"

Would you say that?

If you don't tell him, how will he know?

Go get it

Still pussying out?

Did your ass grow roots?

Come on

If he finds out

you can cut my head off and sit on it

What's there to see on a dashcam?

I can't tell if you're innocent or an idiot

Whoa

It got hard

It got hard after touching you

Really

Are you rock-hard?

Well then

you want it?

I want it

What do you want?

I want you to fuck me

Kevin had left the pond earlier that day with Gucci

to come to this mysterious place

He asked Gucci to do some liver maintenance

and prostate detoxification

During that time

the lady in the middle of the field

called, looking for Kevin

She kept calling and calling

until the sky grew dark

as Kevin's phone rang like a madman

You're so wet

You're so hard

So big

Is it very big?

It's big

I love you fucking me

Like this?

Yeah, go deeper

Call me Puta

Call me Puta

Who's Puta?

I'm Puta

Puta

I'm your Puta

Puta

Puta

Puta

Come inside

I want you to come in me

I want to fuck you

Come inside

Miss Yeh

Behave yourself

you're already a grown woman

Shouldn't you be sleeping at this hour?

You want to fuck that old hag Yeh, or fuck me?

You want to fuck that old hag Yeh, or fuck me?

I want to fuck you

Then fuck my brains out

Louder

Then fuck my brains out

Fuck me

That's good

I love when you fuck me

So good

Oh, so good

Hello

Miss Yeh

Do you have business with Kevin baby this late?

Please pass the phone to your Kev

I have something important to say to him

You're hard to find

Is it that difficult for us to meet face to face?

Why don't you answer?

Speak

Don't think I don't know

You're up to some low-down bullshit

Kevin Huang

I'm giving you one last chance

Find time to meet me right now

or whatever happens after this

will be on your head

All right

Our old spot

That woman left

What'd you bring that for?

Didn't you say to get the dashcam?

You can't just get the memory card?

Why'd you pull the whole damn thing down?

How should I know what card?

You'd need a map to scratch your ass

Bring it here

For the normally timid Belly Button

it's only in Pickle's office

that he can speak boldly

His entire life

it's only in this cramped cell of a room

that he can find a little confidence

Here, this

It's called a memory card

It's so small

Fellow countrymen

What exactly is a dashboard camera?

It's a miracle of modern science

The mini-camera that defines this era

Mounted in the car

It records the view outside the windshield

If there's a traffic dispute

you can pull out the recording as evidence

After all, what the modern person considers is

where there are images

there is truth

The sounds recorded by the dashcam

are sounds within the car

So what we are about to hear

is the horseplay in Kevin's car

What grade are you in?

Junior this year

Junior

In college

I bet if we just played a little, you'd already be wet

Let me see

Do we need to go so fast?

We're still driving

Hold on a second

In modern society, time is money

Fuck

Talk about great timing

Hello

Hello, special assistant

Do you know this special assistant?

I don't

Let me inform you of the situation

Yes, I understand

I understand, special assistant

No problem

Because that's next quarter's funding

Yes

Yes

Your boss turns into a real pussy on the phone

Don't bad-mouth people like that

It's true

He usually acts all dignified

Special assistant, please inform the Congressman

Yes

Thank you special assistant

Good night, special assistant

Fuck

Always first in line for money

but ask for a favor, and he disappears

Your boss is good at acting

As soon as he hangs up, his mood flips

Where were we?

You haven't even asked my name yet

We're here

Oh, right

What's your name?

I'm Cindy

Cindy, huh

Cindy, what made you want to do this?

- Cindy - Yeah

Because I want to study abroad

Hello, welcome to the Forbidden City

Would you like a rest, or overnight stay?

Rest

For a three hour rest, there's 1280, 1680, 1980

1980, thank you

This place really isn't cheap

Three hours, 1980

It's highway robbery

Please have a relaxing time

Where do you want to go?

What's New York?

The New York in America

That woman standing in the harbor

holding a torch

wearing a shower cap

The driveway's so long

There's even Christmas lights

Look, the life of the rich

It's so colorful

We're here

Why'd they stop?

Aren't you smart

They arrived, what else would they do?

You want them to crash into a wall?

Fuck, they got out

What do we see now?

There's obviously nothing to see

You want the car to drive up to the bedroom?

You think they're shooting porn here?

See if there's anything else to watch

Fuck, it's so exciting

Your boss' name is Kevin

My name's Belly Button

What a difference

When I get rich

I'll have someone pick an English name for me

Don't be stupid

Want me to light a prayer candle for you?

When rich people make it big

it's 30% cheating

70% background

You

you've got nothing

Where are you from?

What's your background?

My background is

Pineapples

Bananas

Guavas

One's missing...

Wax apples

What's up with your boss?

Looks like he's on patrol

He keeps driving and driving

Maybe he ran out of tricks

I thought your boss was baller

But that's all he had

Searching through dashcam footage

is like finding a needle in a haystack

If you're lucky

you'll find horseplay right away

But most of the time

you'll just see a car patrol

Betting on dashcam footage

is like Taiwan's economy

There's good times and bad

When it's really bad

though you may watch till you drop

you'll end up with nothing

Fuck

Goddamn

Why's your boss back so early today?

It's almost 3

Damn, it's so late

All right, I'm going

Go, hurry

All right

Keep out of his business

What's going on?

Who attached the head?

I attached it

I was doing it last night till dawn

It'd take forever for you all to do it

What're you standing around for?

Hurry and finish the job

Fuck

You're

Are you standing there silent to scare people?

What are you doing here?

Nothing, just taking a walk around

Hold this for me

This man's name is Shao-Huai Chang

In this film, he's called Sugar Apple

In our film

he only has one line

Taking a walk

He's very busy every day

Busy taking a walk

He walks further than policemen patrol

Walks harder than the village chief works

But human relations are a funny thing

The village is full of people

but no matter where Sugar Apple's walked

the only friend he's made has been Belly Button

Pickle

The hood ornament on my Benz is bent, Can you fix it?

Okay

Okay, close enough

It's fine, are you praying to the ancestors now?

Pickle

Go to the Seven (7-11) at the intersection

Pick up a package for me

Boss, what package?

Fuck, Just say a package for Kevin Huang

They'll give it to you

Got it?

All right

"Savon"

According to the latest weather forecast

over the Philippines coastal region

a tropical depression has already formed

Peanut

I want to pick up a package

A package

What package?

Kevin Huang

the boss of Global

Never heard of him

My boss told me to pick it up at Savon

Pickle

This is Savon, not Seven (7-11)

Seven's the one on the left

The man appeared suspicious

and is suspected to be mentally unstable

Fuck, that's Belly Button

He got into a dispute with police

From the police video, it appears

Belly Button got arrested

he was carrying many unidentified items

attracting police attention

On grounds of safety

an officer questioned him

not expecting the man to attack

With the help of two officers, he was finally subdued

and brought into the station for questioning

Your vehicle has no license plate

Impound it

Impound it. You can return in our car

I'll drive your motorcycle back for you

Come to the station to chat

Chief, this is no good

What the hell are you doing?

Settle down, what's done is done

Dear audience members

there were no journalists at the scene

so footage for the TV news

would've been provided by police

We can provide you more objective footage

with the fewest edits possible

to let you understand how events unfolded

Unlike the police, our video is not shaky

Shooting films is our profession, after all

Any shaky cameraman

would've been sacked long ago

Listen

I'm citing obstruction of justice

to arrest you

Do you understand?

Moving on

you have the right

to remain silent

and refuse to answer any questions

You can appoint an attorney

to ensure your rights

If you are low income

lower-middle income

or aboriginal

the law must allow you to request an attorney

You can request an attorney

Understand?

Cuff him

Cuff him up

Take his hands

Son of a gun

Here

Take this

It's fine now, you can go

Listen,

next time we meet

talk to me

Don't get rowdy

Alright?

Otherwise I'm forced to do my duty

Work with me here

You can go

Take a lunchbox with you

Take one each

Thanks

Okay

Motherfucker

You call yourself a friend?

You saw me getting beaten and did nothing?

Sugar Apple isn't some long-haired

stinking vagrant

He grooms himself neatly each day

Everyone in the village knows him

But nobody knows where he came from

One day, three years ago

he suddenly appeared

settling down at an abandoned naval sentry post

Some say he used to be a sailor

Others say he went mad from a breakup

Still others say he killed a man

But others say they've seen luxury cars visiting him

Sugar Apple's a very mysterious guy

Even his sole friend, Belly Button

only knows that at night

he needs to hear the sound of waves to fall asleep

After Belly Button's motorcycle was impounded

the first thing he thought of

was borrowing Peanut's old motorcycle

Ever since he won a new one at the city hall's New Year's party

Peanut stopped riding

his old motorcycle

Since I still maintain it

if I go racing with this one

it's got more power than Taro's

Taro's motorcycle is electric

Is that right?

Yeah

A guy riding a pink motorcycle?

No wonder you can't get a girlfriend

What are you bullshitting about?

This movie's black and white

If you don't say it, no one will know

It seems like the car isn't moving

Nah

Your boss is full of tricks

Have some patience

He's fucking sleeping

My boss gets busy all day and all night

It saps his energy

Let's see what else is good to watch

Here

Here

This is new

I want to say hi to your little friend

It's broad daylight

Yeah

You're not afraid of being seen?

Afraid of what?

The windows are so dark

What's up with your boss?

He sounds indifferent

You're in a hurry today

I want it

There are so many motorcycles

Hello

This girl's bold

Long time no see

Did you miss me?

Come

Let me kiss you

What's that sound?

Sucking the gear stick

How do you suck a gear stick?

It tastes good

Tastes so good

Let me touch your little sister

This girl's a good singer

Once she's got the microphone, she won't let go

Your little sister is so wet

Damn it

Don't get so damn close

Hurry up and get in

That's a good sound

He's driving a long way

Yeah

Your boss is impressive

Getting blown from mountain to seaside, and he's still hard

He must train his body

He's tough

It's true

It's easier to pick up chicks with a car

Nah, it depends what car

My boss drives a Benz

The gentle lady we're hearing now

was the lady in the field

who kept calling Kevin before, Miss Yeh

This scene took place quite a while ago

Kevin's feelings for Miss Yeh

have already faded

But I can understand Kevin

When a grown man

meets a woman of skill and assertiveness like Miss Yeh

no matter how devoid of feeling

he can't stop his prick from getting excited

Just from listening, you get hard

and thirsty

What else is there to see?

That was real incredible

Goddamn

I've seen this already

Let's just watch an old one

Man

Is your boss back yet?

Not yet

Well, it's hopeless then

Let's watch Cindy

You remember Cindy?

All right, let's watch a little

Your Cindy's here

What grade are you in?

Master, over here

This way, please

Here

Master

Buddha is not only an image of virtue, but also a reflective mirror

So that seeing Buddha's face is alike to chanting his name

Just as gazing at one's most respected master

clears the mind of wild thoughts

and brings forth a peaceful heart

Amitabha Buddha

This Buddha really is beautiful

It looks like the image of virtue

When I see this Buddha

as Buddha's teachings illuminate

all my mind is calmed down

It's great

Very beautiful

But one thing I find strange

those eyebrows don't seem to line up

Those cheeks

they seem

I don't know if it's the right or left, a bit crooked

And those closed eyes

is he thinking, or dozing off?

Most importantly

he's got to raise his chin up

You need vigor

to liberate all sentient beings

But right now he looks like

he's super depressed

Is that okay?

Amitabha Buddha

Thank you for your suggestions, Sister

Beautiful work, beautiful work

Global's artwork is world-famous

I put in a lot of effort this time

to convince Brother Kevin to take this job

I think only Brother Kevin's talent

could express the unique aura of Mt. Foshan

Amitabha Buddha

What Brother Kevin has made is art

When we say Buddha is

speaking of dignity

of fortune

of excellence

it's by judging the look of his entire body

If we consider our Buddha a work of art

then we might as well put him in a museum, Right?

Amitabha Buddha

Sorry

Sister

Does anyone call you fat?

Whether anyone calls you that

I don't think you're fat

Fatness and thinness

are subjective things

Just like whether Buddha's image is virtuous or not

is very subjective

Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha Buddha

Congressman Chen

We're talking about the image's virtue right now

Sorry, my name's Gao

Chen is the chief secretary

I don't care if you're Congressman Chen or Gao

Just like

I wouldn't care to talk about your relations with this lady

I wouldn't discuss it with others

I don't know your relationship

Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha Buddha

No, if Sister really feels that way

then we'll ask Brother Kevin to saw the Buddha's head off

Then we can fix it

All right?

We'll have Sister supervise the work

We'll work together to get the best result

Master

Brothers and Sisters

Amitabha Buddha

I want to tell everyone

while I was constructing the Buddha

I had a heart full of gratitude

From making the 3D model

to the construction itself

I always used a laser inclinometer to keep it level

This idea of symmetry or asymmetry

crookedness

it's impossible

I think Sister has a valid point

Let's saw off Buddha's head

and start anew

As for the Dharma Assembly

we can postpone it to next year to do it properly

Amitabha Buddha

Master

The Buddha issue

Is it satisfactory now?

Leave the professional work to the professionals

Let's put our energy into the next development

for Mt. Foshan Park

Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha Buddha

It's strange

After that "Amitabha Buddha"

the whole factory's mood and morale changed

Everyone suddenly became lively

Those who were sitting

are now standing

Those who were standing

are now climbing

Everyone's trying

just as hard as Kevin

even borrowing their strength from tomorrow

to be used up today

We've finally reached the middle of the movie

I want to mention an event here

Belly Button doesn't usually come here to collect recyclables

But for some reason he came today

as if pulled by fate

to meet a man who's lost all will

After meeting Belly Button

this man will disappear from this world

Belly Button is the last person he'll see

and the last person who will speak to him

What's wrong?

A guy like Belly Button, unacknowledged by society

and struggling to change his fortune

often meets people like him

whose own lives have met difficulty

They try to help each other out

But as the saying goes

How can a beggar keep a cat?

If you can't help yourself

how can you help others?

Ah

Brother

Is something wrong?

Of course there is

After Belly Button left this fellow

it began to rain

From their perspectives

whether it's rain or shine

there will always be problems

But they've no time to ponder life's problems

Because in their own lives

there's an endless stream of them

Society often speaks of justice

But in these people's lives

that word surely doesn't exist

Since it takes all they have to find their next meal

they have no energy to speak of such things

Pickle

Pickle

You still came when it's raining?

Is your boss here?

Yeah

Yeah

He's back

All right

Well?

Why's your boss back so early today?

He's drunk

They sent him back

That's perfect

We saw old stuff last time

Go fetch a new one today

No way

It's fine

No

Go on

Don't keep watching people's stuff

You're a real dork

Don't tell me you're gonna wake your boss up

and tell him

Boss

I'm gonna peek at your dashcam

Are you?

It's not right

It's fine, go

No way

It's raining so hard

and I came here specially for that

Right?

It's fine

What we hear now

with the American West cowboy flavor

is music by Sheng-Xiang Lin

made specially as a theme song for Chairman Kevin

The name of the song is Surfing With The Chairman

He said the way he drives

through tunnels, lights flashing

it feels as though

Chairman Kevin

is taking the audience along

to go surfing at the beach

But Chairman Kevin doesn't plan to visit the beach

Because where he wants to surf

is on Gucci's young body

If you would like to surf

please find time to go with friends

But remember, safety first

There's tunnels in the tunnel

Actually, this place

is the tunnel's connecting passage

The cars passing by go so fast

that nobody notices what's inside

Even if you took a shit inside

killed someone, or started a fire

it'd be hard for anyone to see

They're kissing

It got hard after touching you

You want it?

I want it

What do you want?

I want you to fuck me

She's so direct

You like fucking me?

I like it

Kevin has latched onto one idea

Do what others don't dare to do

Risk what others don't dare to risk

His life has been a payoff from those gambles

Call me Puta

What?

Call me Puta

What's Puta?

How should I know?

I'm Puta

Puta

Gucci is a mixed-race beauty

She's half South American

so it's hard for me to tell if it's Buddha or Puta

Buddha is English

Puta is Spanish for 'slut'

Judging from the current situation

I think she probably means 'slut'

Listen

This must be true love

Otherwise why would she be like that?

Giving all of herself to him

and moaning like that

I want you to come in me

I want to fuck you

Based on the current situation

there's no way your boss is wearing a condom

You're so smart

Miss Yeh

Behave yourself

you're already a grown woman

Who's Miss Yeh?

My boss' old flame

You want to fuck that old hag Yeh, or fuck me?

You want to fuck that old hag Yeh, or fuck me?

I want to fuck you

Then fuck my brains out

Louder

Then fuck my brains out

Fuck me

That's good

I love when you fuck me

This girl is really daring

Oh, so good

Hello

What the hell?

Every time it gets good, the phone rings

Be quiet

My boss is home

He keeps talking

Blah blah blah

Hello

It's nothing

She's pissed off

The girl got out of the car

I'm busy

I wouldn't stay either

Don't leave things hanging

Speak

He keeps blabbering on

Okay

Our old spot

He said the old spot

Right here

Right here

I'm already in my late forties

Kevin Huang

Ask your own conscience

We've been together so many years

Has there ever been a time you wanted me

that I wasn't there?

I let you stretch me like a yoga guru

Belly Button

What's yoga guru?

It means your boss does a lot of positions

I was pregnant

You didn't let me keep it

You wanted me to lose it

and I did

Because I thought

there's no love between you and your wife

She's been overseas so many years

One day you would divorce her

and marry me

Your boss is a remarkable guy

All the women love him

But it wasn't enough for you

You kept fooling around with women

Remarkable

You've never treated me seriously

My boss' old flame

sounds very frustrated

Want to break up?

Sure

Then pay my compensation

Before, I thought

your boss fooled with women every day

tasting exotic beauties

This girl's got feelings too

Nah, your boss is heartless

She fell so deeply for him

So you're not paying

Fine

Then should I call your wife to ask for it?

Or should I call

your cute chief secretary

and ask him?

You know that chief secretary?

He's my boss' secretary

Kevin Huang

While I wasn't home

you got nasty with some old geezer in my bed

You like that?

Tell me

is mine tighter?

Or is his old asshole tighter?

No

I bet this is how he screamed during sex

Kevin

Kevin

Kevin

What's that sound?

Weird

Why do we only hear your boss panting?

It's over?

There must be more

This

We haven't seen this yet

Isn't that here?

That's me

Stop watching

I said, stop watching

You always want to watch

Wasn't she from the other day?

Standing in the field?

I'm

I'm heading out

Belly Button

Stay a little longer

Stay a little longer

Should we call the cops?

Did you forget your mother?

You want to lose your job?

Fuck

Don't you know cops and courts are run by the rich?

That night

the two of them sat, terrified

Sitting there like idiots

Sitting until sunrise

As soon as it was light

Belly Button and Pickle rushed downtown to find Brother Lin

Brother Lin is normally section manager at a security company

But his other identity

is serving as the medium at a temple

The gods possess his body

What you see now

is the act of possession

The gods use spirit writing to help the unfortunate

Basically, of those who come with questions

one type is the rich and powerful

who are afraid of losing it all

The other type is the poor and powerless

whose hearts need relief

What you see now

is the gods' spirit writing

The interpreter on the side

reads out what the gods are writing

The words are called Luan

They are the gods' message to believers

But today, the only Luan that Belly Button and Pickle received

was the gods telling them to be honest

respect one's parents

and be useful to one's country

Belly Button and Pickle

became more baffled, the more they saw

What you're about to see

is the complete Luan

Welcome

to the Homeland Safety Religious Center

Defend home and homeland

To exercise filial piety

is self-evident

Following the solar horoscope brings safety

Courage's blessing carries you through the world

Belly Button visits Peanut each day to pick up trash

As they talked

Peanut realized Belly Button and Pickle had met a bad spirit

and needed to cleanse their fortunes

The first place he thought of

was his uncle's Chiang Kai-shek temple

Uncle

These two encountered a bad spirit

and came to cleanse their fortunes

They didn't say what it was

but Lord Chiang

should be able to help

You two

This temple only appears barren

My uncle purposely doesn't decorate

to promote sheer simplicity

It also expresses Lord Chiang's

integrity, pure as driven snow

People pray to Lord Chiang?

Goddamn

Even Pigsy has worshippers

Listen

This temple

after it was built 30 years ago

kept failing at divination

No gods would come here

One day

When my uncle was napping

Lord Chiang came to him in a dream

and told my uncle

I've got the time

I'm available

That's why

my uncle tends the temple

It's not easy

What does 'tend' mean?

He serves the gods

He serves the gods

Uncle

Want to help them cleanse their fortune?

These gods

sometimes they select certain people

Motherfucker

Don't know what he's up his own ass about

What's impressive about tending a lousy-ass temple?

Fuck

Makes me feel sick

Mr. Huang, My apologies

Sorry for making you come all this way

Don't say that

I asked you here

mainly to understand what happened with Miss Feng Ju Yeh

So

What happened to her?

Her family came to file a report

said she'd been missing almost a week

Now even her car's missing

I thought we'd ask a few of her friends

to come clarify the situation

When did you last speak on the phone?

I think she called me a week ago

How do you know her?

We're friends

Good friends?

I think so

What did you talk about on the phone that day?

Nothing much

Just some random stuff

What random stuff?

As friends, we'd just talk on the phone every once in a while

Oh, right

Last week she asked me about doing some investing

It was just talk

It never amounts to much

That was the only thing you talked about?

Yeah

Why do I feel like it wasn't the only thing?

What do you mean?

I looked at her call records

Miss Yeh called you

over one hundred times

Did she?

You should know better than anyone

You can't say because she called me

that I'm the one who has a problem

Mr. Huang

I never said you have a problem

A woman dials a man's phone over 100 times

what could possibly be so urgent?

Did she call 100 times to talk about investing?

I told you already

She called me to ask about investments

We also talked about some unimportant trivial things

That was all

I've been honest with you

What now?

Why are we bringing Chairman Kevin here now?

Deputy speaker, Sorry

Let me inform you of the situation

Our Chairman Kevin is an important figure in society

He's done so many good deeds

He has the heart of a Buddha

You insult him by bringing him here

I'm sorry

What now?

Shun

What the hell did you bring the chairman here for?

I invited Chairman Huang here to clarify Miss Yeh's situation

I'm practically treating him to a cup of tea

It's fine

Our Chairman Kevin contributes money and energy to society

You see

if you're uneducated

he'll give you money to get educated

If you've got a funeral but no coffin

he'll buy you a coffin

You're insulting him

He's a man who, if he says it, he'll do it

That's what a good person he is

You're insulting him

Shun

Is chairman fine now?

It's fine

You can go if you want

Do what the hell you want

Then what the hell were you talking about?

He didn't mean it like that

Listen

I'm talking to you

and you keep replying to the deputy commissioner

What are you trying to say?

Listen

if you fucked around like this out in society

the grass on your grave would already be this high

Sorry

Show a little respect

Shun

Chairman can leave now, right?

Do what the hell you want

Like I said

What are you trying to say?

Nah, he didn't mean it like that

Unbelievable

What kind of attitude is that?

Sorry, no offense

So can we go now?

Yes, thank you

Show some respect, I'm telling you

Learn how to live in a society

Sorry

Motherfucker

You

get ready to be grilled at next week's council meeting

Okay

Motherfucker

Unbelievable

Have a nice day, deputy speaker

Motherfucker

Sit down

Sit

How long have you worked for me?

Ten years

What did you do before you came here?

Temp jobs, here and there

Do I give enough salary?

It's enough

I haven't been in this room for years

The ceiling's leaking badly

Why didn't you tell me?

Is the A/C cool enough?

Haven't used it in a while

To be honest

I feel like you've been lazing around without much work

Sometimes when you're at work

you sleep

and I don't want to disturb you

Your trash-picking friend often comes here to chat

but I didn't complain

Pickle

Do I look like an idiot?

No

You think any shit you're up to here

I won't know about it?

You should know my personality

This is what I think

When dealing with human relations

if we're good, then we're good

if we're not good, we need mutual understanding

Have you seen me like this before?

You've really never seen me like this?

By nodding your head, do you mean

you have

or you haven't seen me like this?

I've worn this wig many years

I've worn it so long, I sometimes feel as if

it's my real hair

Now if I don't wear it for one day

I feel uneasy all over

How's your mother been lately?

Her health hasn't been great lately

If there's a problem at home, you have to tell me

I believe what humans want most

is peace and safety

That night, after Kevin left

Belly Button came looking for Pickle

But Belly Button kept standing outside, not daring to enter

Pickle had no choice but to accompany him

In the gloomy black night

under a light drizzle

the two stood there quietly

Pickle watched Belly Button stare wistfully at the scenery

his eyes filled with a faint longing

He wanted to comfort Belly Button

but couldn't find a single word

Belly Button also visited Sugar Apple afterwards

But that all happened in a dream

After Sugar Apple awoke, he couldn't sleep again

and went to a nearby swimming pool to bathe

Sugar Apple's bathing spot isn't fixed

Sometimes it's a swimming pool

Sometimes it's a lavatory

Tonight there's thunder and lightning

but Sugar Apple doesn't seem scared at all

He feels slightly different today

He has the feeling that Belly Button's gotten into trouble

That word on the sign with holes in it, is 'Visits'

All together, it reads 'Meal Visits'

They're specially ordered by prisoners' families

Because if they're too far or busy to visit

they can ask the foodservice

to send a meal in their name

Belly Button's been in jail before

After his granny passed away

the orphaned Belly Button

could no longer eat meal visits

But auntie still gave food once in a while

treating him like their own son

Besides meal visits

auntie and her husband also grew scallions

When there weren't enough hands

they'd ask their married daughter to come home and help out

Here, Button

Auntie just happened to have

some vegetables today

So nice

Somebody ordered a meal

and left over a chicken leg

I'll give it to you

Eat plenty

I wondered why there's even chicken today

After getting out of prison

Belly Button would come over to help

Auntie would also prepare meals for him

But today was particularly special

Auntie not only fried vegetables for him

she also prepared a chicken leg

Nobody knew that Belly Button didn't eat much

Other than at night

when he would snack on cold expired foods tossed from the supermarket

during the day, he only ate one meal

But the meal he's eating now

is Belly Button's last meal of the day

and also the last meal of his life

The following morning

Belly Button was found in a drainage ditch

The police found high blood alcohol in his body

meaning he was probably drunk and got in a car accident

But we usually hear about

drunk drivers killing people

Belly Button could be one of Taiwan's very few cases

of a drunk killed by a driver

Everyone in the village also knows

that Belly Button doesn't drink

Even if he wanted to drink

he couldn't afford enough to get drunk

After Sugar Apple left the scene

he biked around the entire morning

not knowing where he was biking to

only that he had to keep going and going

His heart was tangled in knots

Appearing over and over in his mind

was the figure of Belly Button

Finally he returned to his seaside villa

I think he was slowly realizing

Belly Button dying wasn't so bad

At least when he died

they drew the figure of a man

For a lonely drifter like him

if he died, no one would realize it for a long time

By then, his corpse would've already decomposed

At best, they could only draw a round puddle

Belly Button's death couldn't have been that simple

Pickle, his blood running cold

suddenly remembered that night

when Kevin said to him

What humans want most is peace and safety

Pickle felt that something was wrong

and worried, if anything happened to him

who would take care of his mother

The only person he could think of

was a lifelong liar

with no sense of family responsibility

his youngest uncle

Uncle

These two sponge gourds are for you

No need

You went to the trouble of growing them

you should sell them yourself

I grew these myself

for you to cook

You're giving them to me?

Yeah, you can cook them

All right

You only brought two?

Uncle

My mother...

I know your mother

I know your mother

Did you see something nasty recently?

You have to get this taken care of

How strong are your glasses?

Four hundred

Oh yeah? One side's two hundred, one side's three hundred

That's five hundred

That's bad for your health

Swap a pair

That's better

Swap it and take a look

With glasses, your sight should be crystal clear

Is it clear?

It's blurry

It's blurry?

This one's not right

Let me swap another pair for you

Try this pair

Uncle

It's about my mother...

I know about your mother

When your mother went food shopping, I met her

This pair, is it clear?

Yeah

Oh, right. You need to wear two pairs of glasses

One for good weather

one for bad weather

When the weather's clear, wear this pair

About my mother...

I know about your mother

Her health isn't well

I know about your mother

I met her at the health center

I know already

Try this pair on

Wear this pair in good weather

Do they work?

Yeah

Yeah?

Ah, my mother

I know about your mother

Two pairs is five hundred

Uncle

I don't think I have enough money on me

How much, how much do you have?

Only three hundred

That's all

Yeah

Get rid of this pair

Try that pair on

This pair's just three hundred for you then

My mother's over eighty years old

I know about your mother, I know

Don't just talk about your mother

From start to finish, Pickle didn't have a chance to talk

He even paid NT300

to buy this pair of glasses

The problem is, it was his original pair

Pickle didn't complain about his uncle's behavior

But treated this way by the only man he could ask

he felt his hopes inside fading

Destiny has a way of teasing people

That afternoon

Kevin asked Pickle to take Mother Pickle to the hospital for a check-up

He even arranged for a hospital stay

But after a long examination

they didn't find any cause

so she just stayed overnight and received IV support

Pickle felt very alarmed

that Kevin was doing this for him

He didn't know what Kevin's intentions were

He just felt like air was trapped in his chest

that couldn't find an exit

The sun was strong for those few days

Pickle, feeling ill at ease

decided to take care of the leaking roof

He went to the deputy speaker's service office

and found a discarded election banner

Displayed on the banner was Bill Small

"One vote, one devotion"

with a face promising civil duty

The deputy speaker held passion for justice and gorgeous women

and was first in line to protect citizens from harm

After spreading the banner

Pickle sat alone on the rooftop

and slowly came to a decision

to take a look at Belly Button's house

Nobody had ever gone into Belly Button's house

Even Sugar Apple sat outside when eating with Belly Button

Pickle must've been the first to step inside Belly Button's house

and without Belly Button's permission either

Sitting in Belly Button's UFO house

Pickle wondered, this guy who always used to bully him

where was he now?

Looking around the bed

it was all dolls that Belly Button had caught

and models cut out from magazines

Pickle only realized then

how little he really knew about Belly Button

I think that even though we live in a space age

and mankind could long ago ride ships to the moon

we'll never be able to explore the universe of others' hearts

That day

there were two big events in southern Taiwan

One was the Dharma Assembly to pray for the nation

The other was Belly Button's funeral

On the way to the gravesite

the sun was shining brightly

But the road

was flooded for no apparent reason

Pickle and the others stood hesitating on one side

But Belly Button had already reached the other side

as if to tell Pickle that escorting him this far was enough

The next step

he would walk slowly and alone

Peanut

There were really no other photos?

Find one yourself

It's a good thing he was arrested

It was on the news

so I could find screenshots online

or we'd be out of luck

Not a scrap of ID

I'm telling you

Good thing it existed

Nobody knew him anyway

Fuck you

What the hell did you say?

What?

What the fuck?

Fuck you

What the fuck?

What?

Come on

What the fuck

You wanna fight?

Let's fight

Fuck you

Fuck

Bring it on, motherfucker

Fuck you
