"Pay attention." "The glass facade of the National Taichung Theater resembles rows upon rows of wine jars." "Toyo Ito refers to it as life within wine pot." "You will feel like you're drunk while listening to the opera." "As students of Architecture you are not here for fun." "You have to learn how Toyo Ito broke with the traditional architectural framework, and created the "Sound Cave"." "Curved walls form the main structure of the space inside the theatre." "So you cannot see any pillar on the inside." "This also means that the audience's view will not be obstructed by any blind spots when they're enjoying a performance." "All right, here is a pop quiz for all of you." "How does the architectural style of this theatre affect the acoustics?" "Professor, it provides soundproofing." "It facilitates the echo effect." "It aids ventilation." "Are there any other answers?" "Lin Daofeng." "What are the other factors influencing the acoustic field?" "You ought to have... a sound cave built in your brain, so you would not have any blind spot inside that makes you pause for five seconds whenever I ask you a question." "Students, let's continue our tour." "Come on." "Daofeng, are you at home?" "Your father and I have not forgotten that it is your birthday today." "Daofeng." "This is Dad." "You must make careful plans for your future." "Bill Gates makes 1250 US dollars every five seconds." "Daofeng, how about you?" "How about your five seconds?" "Stop nagging him." "Your father and I will be in China for a month." "Take care of yourself." "We will leave messages for you if necessary." "Remember to listen to them." "Remember." "The Missing Piece" "Rocky." "Shasha." "Good morning." "Uncle Tin Can." "Good morning." "(Sunshine Village)" "(Right ahead." "Please go straight.)" "Young man, this is not... the bus stop." "Where are you going?" "The bus stop... is not... over here." "Have you finished your drink?" "Uncle Tin Can." "Shasha." "How is business?" " It is okay." " I see." "Is this enough for you?" "It is." "Thank you." "Look at that young man." "He is already a mute at his young age." "Really?" "What a shame for a handsome guy like him." "You are hitching a ride?" "Are you Japanese?" "Where are you going?" "You don't understand Mandarin?" "Sorry," "I can't help you." "Goodbye." "Auntie Haizhu." "Wait for the bus again?" "You are simply skiving." "This is called working smart." "Do you understand?" "Here is your grass jelly drink." "Thank you." "Please, let me hitch a ride." "You are not Japanese?" "You are not a mute?" "I am neither a mute nor a Japanese." "It's just that whenever I get asked a question, my mind goes blank, my body becomes stiff, and I'll zone out inexplicably, so I have to think for five seconds before I can answer." "This is a psychological problem, must be overcome through willpower, so I'm trying to treat my own condition by practicing talking to strangers everyday through hitchhiking." "I have just moved here." "Please guide me along in future." "You take five seconds to answer a question?" "I get it." "This isn't just a mental problem." "He is simply handicapped." "Let me ask you then." "Would you call me Auntie or Madam?" "Sister." "He is not mute then, he is blind." "Exactly." "I am the one whom you should call Sister." "Don't correct him." "As people say, those who are good at sweet talk will enjoy more happiness." "Yes..." "The bus is here." "Hop on." "I don't want to take the bus." "I want to hitch a ride from a stranger." "Hop on." "Get going!" "Oh." "Bye." "The tagalong is leaving." "You are the tagalong." "Bye." "Shasha, what kind of strange illness causes a five-second gap when answering questions?" "Beats me." "I've heard of people vying to answer a question within five seconds, but such retarded reaction is new to me." "Why must you follow the bus?" "Look around you." "We are surrounded by the mountain, and the sea." "This would otherwise be an isolated spot." "But with so many passengers on the bus, all of them will be able to hear my broadcast." "That works better." "Do you agree?" "Agree." "Hey," "Rocky, come here." "Let me treat you to a cold drink." "Recently, the heavy downpour has created potholes in the road." "Get the Public Works Department to do the repairs." "You got to keep Sunshine Avenue in good condition so there will always be traffic here." "Do you hear me?" "Hey." "What are you ogling at?" "I know where your eyes are straying even though you're wearing sunglasses, lewd man." "Give me 100 dollars of betel nuts." "Sure." "I'll prepare it for you right away." "Isn't it boring to keep driving... along the same route?" "No, it is not." "We are always repeating our routines in daily life anyway, which circle around eating, sleeping and making money." "Do you find it boring?" "No, I don't." "But it feels like my ears are developing calluses... from listening to this all day." "You take five seconds to answer a question." "Talking to you is like wailing for the traffic lights." "Even my parents have lost their patience with me." "So they just leave me phone messages." "That's the way it goes... with the fast pace of life in modern society." "People walk fast, drive fast... and do channel surfing fast." "There are even express lanes in fast food restaurants." "Brother Huo, give me a small serving today." "Are you on a diet?" "Yes, my daily diet of braised pork rice prepared by you is giving me a muffin top." "I am a betel nut girl, mind you." "True, you're a betel nut beauty." "Please have a seat inside." "Okay." "Thank you." "Hey," "Shasha, don't you get sick of the same food every day?" "Why don't you try mine?" "What I mean is that... my front passenger seat has been vacant for a long time." "Why don't you fill the void?" "Come on, don't be shy." "What nonsense are you blabbing about?" "Why don't you fill the vacancy in Hell too?" "No, I'll pass." "Save it for yourself." "Finish your lunch then." "All right." "Don't bother about that pervert." "I'm fine." "Thank you." "Shall I pack this for you later?" "Sure." "Okay..." "Thank you." "Does it taste good?" "It has been a long time since I had packed lunch here with a handsome dude." "You... must be patient." "One day, you will find someone who's willing to wail five seconds for you." "Taste good, doesn't it?" "Nan." "Nan, it's time for lunch." "Nan, come here." "Come here." "Lunchtime." "My little darling, it is time you take a bath." "The weather is hot, so stay in there." "This is the third lesson in Everyday English." "Please listen carefully and repeat after me." "Grandson." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Thank you." "When will you come back?" "That is a long one." "When will you come back?" "This is my first day at Sunshine Avenue." "I didn't encounter any difficult question today." "She is Auntie Haizhu, and she drives a promotional vehicle." "Her voice is more saccharine than Lin Chi-ling's, and she is always wearing a smile on her face." "However, when I was having lunch with her beside the sugar mill at noon," "I saw an indescribable emotion in her eyes when she stared at the chimney." "Sometimes, the look in one's eyes can convey a deeper and more direct message than words do." "Wow." "Where did you get all these cans from?" "You will make Uncle Tin Can's day." "Here, you can leave them with me." "Thank you." "Uncle." "Young man." "Today was a fruitful day for me." "I found two chairs." "Here you go." "Where did you find them?" "You are awesome." "By the seaside." "By the seaside?" "That is right." "The seaside here is a treasure trove." "Is it comfortable?" "So you get free rides just by showing the thumbs-up sign?" "It won't make every vehicle stop." "It depends on my luck." "Here comes another vehicle." "Let me try it." "Uncle." "There are three people on that motorbike without helmets." "I couldn't possibly give them the thumbs-up." "No way." "Uncle, what did you mean by that hand gesture?" "Uncle, pardon him." "He meant to ask you what you meant by that hand gesture." "He taught me that." "Why must you tell him to do that?" "Pardon him." "He meant to ask you why you must tell Uncle to do that." "He has a stuttering problem, so he can't reply you quickly." "Are you playing the fool?" "Why aren't you answering me?" "Pardon him." "He meant to ask you why you weren't answering him." "Don't be rash." "Let's talk about this calmly." "Pardon us." "We are going to grip you." "I'm going to call the police." "They're really thrashing him." "What?" "No one is afraid of the police these days?" "Hello?" "Is this the police station?" "I'd like to lodge a report." "Yes." "There are three men here -- a tanned guy, a fair guy and a fat guy." "They are roughing up a good guy." "Yes." "Leave now!" "You want the license plate number?" "Okay" "It's J3U 886." "Yes, do send your officers here now." "Wait for me." "I haven't gotten on the bike." "Hurry up." "What a bunch of scoundrels." "Are you okay?" "Are you hurt?" "Rocky." "Uncle Tin Can." "Listen up." "Stop cleaning this spot." "There is a pool of crimson blood in front of the betel nut stand." "Clean that up." "Yes." "OK" "Are you really all right?" "You know, there are many other ways to practise talking to strangers." "You don't always have to hitchhike." "Waiting indefinitely is a torture." "With only the driver and me in the car, chatting and enjoying the scenery is less nerve-wracking for me." "I used to enjoy... chatting with him in the front passenger's seat of the lorry too." "Have you always nailed it?" "The success rate is 2.5%." "About 80 vehicles whizz past me every day, but at most, only two cars will stop." "The success rate is so low." "The same goes for people." "We can only go with the flow." "There are some cars... you can never catch up with regardless of how fast you run." "But some cars, like the pumpkin carriage, will keep waiting for you as long as you stick to the timeframe." "Hey, look at that sign behind us." "What do you think that means?" "Paradise right ahead, please go straight?" "I think it refers to dreams." "Dreams right ahead." "Please go straight." "Dreams?" "You are so cheesy." "It should mean "Betel Nut Stand Right Ahead"," "Please Go Straight." "Hey, you look rather cute when you smile." "You should smile more." "Smile." "Shasha is mine." "This is my third day at Sunshine Avenue." "Today," "I got thrashed by three youngsters." "To them, a five-second wait... is an intolerable eternity." "Today, someone asked me why I must insist on hitchhiking." "Waiting indefinitely is a torture." "The person who asked me was Shasha, the betel nut girl at Diamond Betel Nut Stand." "She seemed to be looking for someone." "She kept sussing out drivers who passed by, or anyone who bought betel nuts from her." "Hey, you look rather cute when you smile." "You should smile more." "(Occupied)" "How are we going to raise a child when we can't even feed ourselves." "When there is a will, there is a way." "If it really comes to the crunch, I can become a betel nut girl." "Stop looking." "She is not inside, so stop looking." "Come, and give me a hand." "Take this down." "Okay" "Uncle Tin Can, you're amazing." "You even found a beach umbrella." "The seaside is a treasure trove." "Feel free to let me know if you lack anything." "I'll give it to you if I manage to find it." "Sure." "Hey. young man, help me check if this machine is working." "I've charged it fully." "Okay." "Let me see." "Uncle Tin Can," "I can't believe you can use a laptop." "Of course..." "I can't." "Teach me." "Sure." "Why do you want to use a laptop?" "Do you want to read the news, do online shopping... or find your second romance through internet dating?" "What a busybody you are." "No." "I heard that computers are very powerful these days, and they can give you a view of any place in the world." "That is right." "I want to see my son's house in the US." "Can you help me?" "My son said that his house... has a sea view too." "Uncle Tin Can, give me your son's address." "Address?" "Oh yes, Address." "Hold on." "Okay" "Here it is." "Okay" "Is this the one?" "Yes!" "This dog is called Arnold." "Where is everyone?" "Would I be able to see my son and grandson if they leave the house?" "If... they happen to be leaving the house, you'd be able to see them." "You see, there is an artificial satellite in space now that is capturing images of the Earth 24 hours a day." "The satellite images are continuously updated, so our every move will be captured." "Really?" "That is amazing." "Since we can see them, can they see us too?" "Can they?" "It's possible, but they can only see your roof, and not the front door." "See." "I was just thinking that my son might yearn to come back if he saw his home in Taiwan." "Uncle Tin Can, don't worry." "Your son may be able to... have a view of your front door, and even see you cycling." "Really?" "This is my seventh day at Sunshine Avenue." "Today," "I told a lie." "I lied because I didn't want to disappoint him." "Uncle Tin Can reminds me of my grandfather." "I hope that my lie will bring him hope, and not despair." "(May everyone in the family be safe)" "This will make it easier for him to recognise the house." "Give me 100 dollars of betel nuts." "Sure." "Here you go." "One hundred dollars, please." "Thanks." "Hey," "I guess today went smoothly for you." "You even managed to hitch a ride back." "That's not bad." "I chatted with three drivers today." "Wow." "Three drivers?" "Well done." "But if... you can't manage to hitch a ride one day, you can come here and chat with me." "Just pretend that I am a driver, and you can talk to me about everything." "Okay?" "Can I really talk to you about anything under the sun?" "Of course." "I am very easy-going." "Your outfit is very cool." "You have noticed?" "I will let you in on a secret." "In fact, other selling betel nuts," "I am also saving the world." "You really bought that?" "You looked so serious." "But your ring is cooler." "You have noticed it, too?" "Let me tell you something." "I am wearing this betel nut as a substitute for a diamond ring." "One day," "I will wear a real diamond ring." "Uncle Tin Can, it is really easy to paint with this." "Really?" "You have good painting skills." "Uncle Tin Can." "Are you busy?" "I'm coming." "Hang on." "Five-Second Guy, hold the fort here." "Sure." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "Uncle Tin Can," "I am done painting the interior." "You're done?" "How do you want the facade to be painted?" "I want the roof to be painted." "The roof?" "That is right." "Here, I did a drawing." "Here you go." "Paint according to this." "Uncle Tin Can." "Uncle Tin Can," "I'm done painting." "You're done?" "Yes." "Let me take a look." "It's fantastic." "You did a good job." "In this way, the satellite will definitely capture a clear image, won't it?" "We might even be on camera right now." "Say hello." "(No. 67, Sunshine Avenue, Sunshine Village)" "(Occupied)" "Uncle Tin Can," "I wouldn't have known about this cosy sanctuary if you hadn't brought me here." "This place... is a treasure trove too." "Taiwan doesn't pale in comparison to other countries." "This is my secret hideout, and I am very discreet about it." "You are the only one who is privy to this privileged information." "Hey." "I have to make a move." "Enjoy your swim." "Bye." "(Vacant)" "(Occupied)" "Uncle Tin Can, where is my clothes?" "Arnold, why aren't you moving?" "Don't you have to poop?" "Daofeng, where are you right now?" "Your roommate said you moved out." "Why didn't you tell us about it?" "Daofeng," "You refused to help out at our branch office in China." "You refused to go for an interview at Uncle Wang's company." "I really don't know what you are thinking." "Hey, since your brain is so cluttered, shall I clean it for you?" "Do you want to see me in the buff?" "You have to pause for five seconds even to answer that question?" "Hey," "You should surface after five seconds in future." "Otherwise, I might mistake you for a floating corpse." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "I know that my T-shirt is a little too tight." "Let me show you something." "I found this chessboard by the seaside." "Let's have a game." "Come on." "Uncle Tin Can, you never cease to amaze me." "Come on." "Setup." "Let's get started." "Hey." "You don't eat betel nuts." "So why do you keep peeking at the betel nut stand?" "Let's get started." "I am not peeking." "I'm moving my pawn." "Just admit it." "Stop denying that you were peeking." "Your turn." "Uncle Tin Can, is your laptop user-friendly enough?" "It is not difficult to use it." "But I have noticed that the dog Arnold... always lies there motionless." "She doesn't even get up to pee." "Could she be dead?" "Uncle Tin Can, so you really view the image every day?" "Yes." "I have lots of time to kill anyway." "Instead of watching television," "I might as well view the image on my laptop, and wait for my son to appear." "Here." "I am inching forward." "Young man, are you going to wait until the cows come home?" "Make your move now." "You have driven yourself into a corner." "Wow." "You have an entire row of lanterns!" "May I know if this is... the Earth God Temple or the Sea Goddess Temple?" "This is..." "Tin Can Temple." "Here's the beer." "Uncle Tin Can, your house has been so beautifully built." "It looks nothing like a tin can." "Agree." "Tuck in." "You don't understand." "My son still left for the US after the abode was spruced up." "So what is the point?" "Come on," "Uncle Tin Can, your son did that out of filial piety." "He wanted you to have a cosy place to stay in," " right?" " Yes." "That's right." "What is the point?" "Do I need such a big house to breed mosquitoes, or make a mockery of my life?" "Uncle Tin Can." "Come on, let's offer a toast... to Uncle Tin Can." " Sure." " What should we toast to?" "Here's to..." "Uncle Tin Can's good health and vitality." "Let's not forget Auntie Haizhu." "Here's to Auntie Haizhu's everlasting youth." "Thank you." " Well said." " Cheers." "Bottoms up." "Let's enjoy the barbecued meat now." "This is so nice." "Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day." "It is so romantic that we are having... a barbecue here." "Uncle Tin Can." "It would be even more romantic if you could give Aunt a kiss, right?" "I don't want that." "Come on, kiss each other." "Kiss..." "No way." "He's not my husband." "Stop it." "Speaking of Valentine's Day, I am reminded of something." "Five-Second Guy, did any sparks fly between the two of you at the waterfall the other day?" "Oh, man." "Nothing happened." "Uncle Tin Can, stop blabbing." "Nothing happened?" "Daofeng told me that there's a beautiful drawing painted on your roof." "I want to feast my eyes on it." "Sure." "Be careful when you're climbing up." "Okay" "Wow." "Uncle Tin Can." "Your address is so enormous that it can be seen from outer space." "What matters is that my son must be able to see it." "Let's change the subject." "Come on." "Let's offer a toast to Uncle Tin Can." "Okay" "Cheer up." "Uncle Tin Can, shall we have another barbecue during Mid-Autumn Festival." "That's a good idea." "You guys are welcome." "Cheers!" "It's a deal." "We will come again during Mid-Autumn Festival." "Rocky, what are you looking at?" "Let's drink up." "You might as well hitchhike outside my betel nut stand in the future." "In this way, you can hitch a ride from people who buy betel nuts from me." "That's not a good idea." "People who buy betel nuts would want to ogle at the pretty betel nut babe." "They would get turned off if they see me, the betel nut zombie, in front of the betel nut stand." "To think you could create... a term like betel nut zombie!" "Auntie Haizhu." "What are you chatting at?" "Shouldn't you be "hitchhiking"?" "He has a five-second gap when answering questions." "Can you stand him?" "Just treat him as a zombie." "Here comes the bus." " Gotta go." "Bye." " Bye." "What?" "The water broke?" "I'm coming right now." "Hop on!" "Huh?" "Hop on now." "Oh." "Thanks." "Slow down." "Auntie Haizhu!" "We're going downhill..." "Turn!" "You're going too fast!" "Why are you the driver?" "Where is Auntie Haizhu?" "Her daughter has delivered a baby at the hospital." "So Auntie Haizhu went there to keep her company." "I am standing in for her." "Gotta go." "Rocky." "Come here." "Yes, Madam!" "Come on." "Go inside." "Sit." "Remove your helmet and goggles." "Nice!" "You look so pretty." "Hold the fort for me." "You can help yourself to the cold drinks." "What?" "Shasha..." "Start the car." "It won't be my fault if you miss the bus." "Shasha... is mine." "Hey," "I think this job suits you." "Why do you say that?" "You can keep driving along the same route all by yourself without having to talk to anyone." "Since you don't have to talk to anyone, you don't have to answer any question." "This job would suit me even more without this noisy broadcast." "Turn off the volume when passing by the school, so as not to disrupt the classes." "There are so many rules." "This is Sister Shasha." "Children, listen up." "You got to study hard in school, and obey your teachers." "When you grow up, don't smoke, or consume betel nuts." "Most importantly, don't bully the girls." "Come on." "Sing with me." "Dad and Brother bring honour to my family... with their noble spirit." "They fight for the country... and serve the military with pride." "Go for it..." "Brother and Dad." "Don't worry about our family." "As long as I grow up..." "Sing." "I will take care of it." "Yeah!" "Give me five!" "Yes!" "Brother Huo, how much was my meal?" "100 dollars, please." "Thank you." "Please come again." "Thank you." "Brother Huo." "Give me two big large servings today." "Two large servings?" "Sure..." "Have a seat." "Come on." "Take a seat." "The braised pork rice here is out of this world." "I have my lunch here every day at noon." "Here is a soup spoon for you." "Thank you." "Shasha." "Nan." "Um?" "Yes?" "Sorry, I got the wrong person." "Oh." "What?" "You are not the one?" "The braised pork rice was delicious." "Shall we go there again tomorrow?" "That man really looked like Nan... from the back." "Brother Nan," "I've missed you." "Come and buy betel nuts." "Brother Nan," "I haven't seen you in a while." "Brother Nan." "I'll come later." "Do look for me." "Know them well?" "We are just acquaintances... since I often make deliveries along this route." "Yeah, right." "Those betel nut girls are such coquettish flirts." "Where is my wallet?" "It is with me." "Set aside 100 dollars so I can buy betel nuts." "You can have the rest." "One, two, three, four, five." "Oh, there is only 500 dollars." "Nan, let's save the money." "Otherwise, how are you gonna buy me a diamond ring?" "Give me a break." "Buying you a diamond ring means I have to marry you." "How dare you say that!" "If you don't marry me, won't my baby be fatherless?" "I already told you to abort it." "You are sounding like a jerk!" "How are we gonna raise a child when we can't even feed ourselves." "When there is a will, there is a way." "If it really comes to the crunch, I can become a betel nut girl." "All right..." "Simmer down." "All right..." "Simmer down." "I will go with your plans." "I will hold you to that." "Sure." "Hey, what do you want to have for lunch?" "I don't know." "I know of a eatery right ahead that sells very heavenly braised pork rice." "I want to feast on a diamond." "All right." "I will buy you a diamond." "Let's go." "Aren't you alighting?" "You can place the order first." "I'll be right back after I buy my betel nuts." "Stop wasting." "The money is meant to buy a diamond." "Come back quickly." "Shasha." "Yes?" "Aren't you worried I would get seduced by betel nut girl, and I'd be gone for good?" "Don't you dare!" " Take a seat." " Hello." "Give me two bowls of braised pork rice, and two bowls of bamboo shoot soup." "Noted." "Here is... your bamboo shoot soup." "All right." "Please enjoy your meal." "Okay." "Thank you." "(Your call will be transferred to a voice mailbox.)" "(Please begin at the sound of the beep.)" "Boss." "Please pack this bowl of braised pork rice for me." " You want me to pack it for you?" " Yes." "Sure thing." "Come here..." "You have such sexy legs." "What are you doing?" "Let me tell you." "Your wife will blow her lop." "Come and buy my betel nuts." "Come... and buy my betel nuts." "Hey..." "Come to Fan's Betel Nut Stand... for all types of betel nuts!" "Come over here..." "Boss." "Do you want some betel nuts?" "Yes, give me 100 dollars of wrapped betel nuts." "You want 100 dollars of it?" "Do you want other drinks?" "You can have it." "Jerk." "Huh?" "I was not referring to you." "You can vent your anger at the top of your lungs if you want to." "Lai Tiannan, you are a jerk." "Come out and face me if you have got the guts." "You should've told me straight in the face if you didn't want to marry me." "You disappeared after you went to buy betel nuts." "Were you shopping for betel nuts in Hell?" "You are a man with no guts, and no sense of responsibility." "Give it to me straight if you have got the guts." "Shasha of Diamond Betel Nut Stand is searching for news of the jerk, Lai Tiannan." "You can claim the reward from me if you have seen him." "Lai Tiannan, stop hiding." "Do you know that I have waited for you here for one year?" "I've been waiting so long for you." "You cannot hide forever." "You are the most obnoxious scumbag in the world." "I don't believe you will swear off betel nuts for the rest of your life." "I believe I will catch you in the act one day." "Is that all?" "There is no one here, so there is no point ranting and raving." "So you became a betel nut girl just to wait for Nan?" "I am not waiting for him," "I am entrapping him." "When I manage to entrap him," "I will tell him that... our unborn child... has gone to Heaven." "I am going to ask him why he left without saying goodbye, abandoned me and left me out in the cold here." "Perhaps he didn't dare to tell you the truth because he didn't want to hurt you." "I would rather hear the truth." "Did he think that... leaving without saying goodbye, and abandoning me here would not hurt me?" "Do you know something?" "To me, answering questions is the toughest obstacle in the world to overcome." "Whenever someone asks me a question," "I would have to think if I could... provide the correct answer." "And if I'd commit an irreparable mistake if I said something wrong." "I am always caught in a dilemma between telling the truth and lying because the former... might hurt the other person," "while the latter might make him more heartbroken and upset if he knows that I am lying to him." "You are overanalysing it." "Whether you want to tell the truth or a lie, just go with your gut feel." "Making a wrong remark won't kill anyone." "Actually, it did." "My grandfather... got so mad because of a truthful remark I made that he died." "So you got to think for five seconds before answering in order to come up with a lie... that would please the other person?" "It is not about lying." "It is about not hurting the other person." "If telling the truth would cost someone's life, while telling a lie would make him happy, would you choose to tell the truth or a white lie?" "I think that... your grandfather asked you because he wanted to hear the truth." "He asked you... because he knew that you would never lie" "as you did not know how to." "Look." "Does it look like a diamond?" "It does." "Like hell it does." "It fits me just nicely." "Does it look pretty?" "Yes, it does." "If only everyone could make pleasing remarks the way you do." "If only everyone could... wait five seconds for me the way you do." "I have been waiting here for one year." "Five seconds to me is no big deal." "Uncle Tin Can was right." "The seaside is a treasure trove." "Today, by the seaside," "I found the person who's willing to wait five seconds." "Have some pomelo." "It is good for digestion." "Rocky, pack it." "Okay" "The weather is great today." "Tonight will surely be a starry night." "Did you go to the seaside very often?" "I had only been to the swimming pool." "Stay out of my business." "You're always walking around with that handphone." "Since you miss him so much, just give him a call." "I am his father, mind you." "Is it proper for a father to call his son?" "Cut the crap." "What is the difference between waving a flag on your roof every day, and giving him a call?" "Do you think that your son is a pigeon... who would fly back from the US when you keep waving a flag?" "Look who's talking?" "Do you think driving that car along the same route would revive your dead husband?" "Do you think having lunch while staring at the chimney would reactivate it and make the machines... in the mill functional again?" "Are you off your rocker?" "Get Rocky to fix it for you then." "I am sorry." "I can only fix damages on the road." "I can't fix figurative rockers." "You are the one who is off your rocker." "You keep hanging around by the roadside all day." "It's obvious you have a crush on Shasha." "Just tell her already." "What is holding you back?" "Even five-Second guy can make his move faster than you do." "Uncle Tin Can, let me take you to wash your face so you can come to your senses." "Give me a break." "You are the one who should come to your senses." "Silly girl!" "Even if you wait for a century, your betel nut won't turn into a diamond." "Your man is not coming back, silly girl!" "Shasha." "Uncle Tin Can, lend me your bicycle." "Shasha." "Why did you come after me?" "How are you gonna console me when you have to think for five seconds?" "Do you know how much I envy you?" "At least you have the courage... to confront your blind spot." "On other hand," "Uncle Tin Can, Auntie Haizhu and I... remain adamant about keeping our blind spots." "You should give me a hug if you want to console me." "Why are you so obedient?" "Shasha," "I..." "I think that Uncle Tin Can and Auntie Haizhu... must be feeling very upset right now," "So I..." "All right." "Hurry back to them." "In the past my husband and I... were employees of the sugar mill." "We only started driving the promotional vehicle after the sugar mill closed down." "But every noon, the two of us... would have packed lunch over here, hoping for the sugar mill to reopen one day." "He has passed away." "But like this chimney that will never spew smoke again, he will always remain in my memory." "Why don't you get up and pee?" "Why do you sleep day and night?" "I have never seen a dog that does not have to pee." "Uncle Tin Can." "Do you really wave a flag on your roof every day?" "Yes." "I'm hoping that the satellite can capture my image." "Uncle Tin Can, let me do it." "I'll go get drinks." "Okay" "Uncle Tin Can." "Hello?" "Hello, I'm calling from Taiwan." "I am Uncle Tin Can's friend." "May I know if you are his son?" "What can I do for you?" "Where is my father?" "How did you get hold of my father's handphone?" "What the hell!" "Do you know what time it is?" "Go and find someone else to scam." "I am in the US." "You have got the wrong target." "What did your father tell... your mother outside my ward?" "Dad said that elderly are a burden on society, and that if you don't die, he would send you to the old folks' home after you recover." "What?" "Doctor, nurses, we need help here!" "Doctor, nurses, hurry up!" "Dad, what's wrong?" "Dad!" "What's wrong, Dad?" "Lin Daofeng, why must you shoot from the hip?" "Don't you know you got to exercise discretion in your speech?" "Listen up." "In future, you got to think for five seconds before you say anything." "Five seconds mean... one, two, three, four, five." "That is five seconds." "Do you understand?" "You called my unfilial son?" "What did he say?" "He said... he would come back to visit you soon once he completes his work." "He will never come back unless I am dead." "I know my own son well." "Uncle Tin Can, don't be so pessimistic." "He really did say that... he would come back to visit you soon." "It is true." "He told me that... your grandson in the US... keeps clamouring to come back to Taiwan because he misses you very much." "As for..." "Arnold, she became a mother lately." "She has given birth to five puppies." "Your son said that he could bring one of them to keep you company." "And, they have prepared a big room for you in their house in the US." "Once you give the nod, he will fetch you to the US." "It is true." "It does not matter." "Anyway," "I can see them through the satellite images every day." "Uncle Tin Can," "I am sorry." "In fact, the satellite images... are not updated 24 hours a day." "I am sorry... for lying to you." "I'm sorry." "No wonder... that dog never got up to pee, and it is always daytime over there." "The sun never seems to set." "You are such a silly boy." "Uncle Tin Can, I am sorry." "It is okay." "I didn't do it on purpose." "I'm not scolding you, so why are you crying?" "Don't cry." "I am mad at myself for always disappointing and upsetting other people with my remarks." "My grandfather died because I told the truth, and I made a fool out of you... because I told a lie." "I am not a fool." "I truly believe that the satellite will capture my image." "People need hope to carry on living." "Do you understand?" "It does not matter even if other people call me a fool." "It is better to have something to look forward to." "Do you understand?" "Stop crying" "Uncle Tin Can." "Someone wants to see you." "Who is it?" "Take a look." "Why are you in there?" "Where are you now?" "I am in the US." "You are in the US?" "What's wrong with your forehead?" "It is no big deal;" "it is just a minor injury." "It won't kill me." "Why did you climb onto the roof out of the blue?" "That was because..." "I was rearing pigeons." "What?" "Pigeons?" "When did we start to rear pigeons?" "It was feeling bored." "Hey, where is my grandson?" "Dad, he is asleep." "It is very late over here." "I will get him to give you a video call tomorrow, okay?" "Okay" "Five-Second Guy..." "Come." "Look at this." "The dog moved..." "I told you the dog would move." "Of course Arnold can move." "Are you sure you didn't suffer from a brain damage?" "I have told you I am fine." "I have waited so long for this." "Be careful." "My unfilial son said he'd come back at the end of the year." "Regardless of how far the pigeon flies, it will still come back to roost, right?" "Did you call him?" "He thought I was a con artist the other day, and I didn't have a chance to clear the air." "This is a very useful machine." "How much is it?" "It is free." "I found it by the seaside." "You can have it." "You don't have a five-second gap today." "Really?" "What is your name?" "Lin Daofeng." "How old are you?" "22 years old." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "I don't." "No way." "It is true." "On a more serious note," "Shasha is a nice girl." "Have you heard that... the older woman is more worthy?" "You can have betel nuts for free too." "I don't take betel nuts." "There are drinks at the stand too." "You can have all the drinks you want." "Am I right?" "It is a good deal." "Is the seaside here scenic?" "Yes." "Uncle Tin Can, do I look like something you found by the seaside?" "Like I said, the seaside is a treasure trove." "We are speeding up." "Come on..." "First gear..." "Come on..." "Full steam ahead!" "Come on..." "When you remove the mask in a while," "I guarantee that your skin will be as smooth and soft as a baby's bottom." "I apply it every day." "Now, everyone calls me The Beauty." "We cannot let ourselves end up as hags, right?" "Shasha, give me 100 dollars of betel nuts." "Here you go." "You freaked me out." "Who on earth applies a face mask so early in the morning?" "I am a betel nut girl, mind you." "I see you have a girl with you." "Is she pretty?" "You only have yourself to blame for not accepting my invitation to sit beside me." "What did you say?" "Sorry." "I was just kidding." "All right, enough with the babble." "I have to get going." "Bye." "Just kidding." "I love you so much." "Rocky, I gotta go." "That should be enough." "There is no smoke." "We have added so much firewood, but it is still networking." "I think... it's not enough." "Over here." "Brother Rocky." "Come here." "Thank you." "Rocky." "Is this enough?" "Be careful..." "Use the handbrake." "The sugar mill is really beautiful today." "The packed lunch today tastes really nice too." "Let's come here every day to have packed lunch then." "That's a good idea." "It's a date, everyone." "I am on a diet." "Forget the diet." "All right, I will come and keep you company." "You dropped some rice." "I'm going back to Taichung in a few days' time." "So you are going to stop hitchhiking?" "My parents are coming back from China, so I have to make a trip home." "Will you come back?" "Yes," "I will definitely come back." "That is a good boy!" "I thought you were going to say no." "Rocky, here you go." "It is okay." "This is my 56th day at Sunshine Avenue." "Just like how Brother Rocky repairs the potholes on Sunshine Avenue," "Three, two, one." "Shasha is mine!" "Their sincerity... helped me resolve my blind spot which causes the five-second gap." "(Happiness right ahead." "Please go straight.)" "Hop on." "Give me your bag." "Where to?" "I'll go wherever you are headed." "Okay" "We'll go around the island before I send you home then." "Let's go." "Hold on tight." "Bye-bye." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Rocky, help me maintain Sunshine Avenue in good condition." "Shasha... is mine." "Auntie Haizhu." "Goodbye." "This bandage?" "It is just an accessory." "I've told you I am fine." "That is right." "Uncle Tin Can, are you a phone addict?" "I am not a phone addict;" "I am just a man with my blind spot." "Uncle Tin Can," "I am leaving." "Okay" "Visit us when you are free, all right?" "Sure." "Goodbye." "Okay." "Goodbye..."
