"The old one or the young one?" "You?" "The married one or the single one?" "Hello!" "Are you coming to pick me up?" "Xiang, I'm with a patient." "I've heard that one before, Brian!" "Are you with your wife?" "I really am with a patient." "Okay, don't come, then." "You don't ever have to pick me up again." "Let me call you back." "Sandy?" "Yeah?" "Sandy, my precious?" "Was your birthday trip fun?" "It was okay." "Dad, our daughter's going away." "Say a few words." "You're glued to that game, Sandy." "You'll go blind!" "Yeah, sure." "Look at this, Dad." "Here's the luggage now." "Let me know when you have time." "Right, of course I will." "No problem." "Hi, is Shi Ge there?" "This is Xiao Jie." "I'm here in Taipei." "Are you coming to pick me up?" "Hoping East Road." "But I've never been here before." "What if I can't find it?" "Hello?" "Still mad at me, Xiang?" "I was mixing for Gigi that day." "I couldn't get away." "I don't care if it was Gigi or Madonna." "I never want to see you again." "Why?" "We're just not right for each other." "Why?" "Why what?" "Why always "why"?" "I'm boarding now." "Didn't you just land?" "I know you did." "I checked." "You just got back, didn't you?" "We need you here, Qi." "Okay." "Good morning, Mr. Jack!" "You're not up yet?" "But it's already 7 a.m. in New York!" "I just came back from Malaysia." "Wait a minute." "Give it to me straight." "Are you sleeping alone?" "We're not seeing each other." "You can tell me the truth." "Me?" "I sleep alone sometimes." "Sometimes with someone." "Sometimes with lots of people." "I have to when I'm on the plane!" "I called because I was bored!" "How can I find a decent man with all the flying?" "What else can I do?" "I'm not going to follow my mother and teach piano!" "It hasn't gotten that bad yet." "Never forget, it was my mother who broke us up." "Fortunately, I didn't marry you then." "It'd be tragic to be married to a playboy like you." "Would you really take care of me in my old age?" "It's good to be home." "I'm beat." "Aren't you going to work?" "What's wrong with these lights?" "All alone with no one to fix the lights for me." "Help."

"The weather bureau has issued an aftershock warning for the next few days." "How's everyone feeling after the quake?" "Let's go to some live interviews." "Why are you still on the street?" "I came out with my girlfriend." "What about aftershocks?" "Xiang, are you okay?" "Please open the door!" "Xiang!" "Are you there?" "Let me in!" "Is someone with you?" "Open up!" "Xiang!" "Open the door!" "Hello?" "Miss Ku your windshield's been smashed." "Shall I call the police?" "No, ignore him." "Hello?" "I can come over pretty soon." "No, don't." "Brian." "Meet me at Pixel." "No." "Brian." "I'll wait for you." "My fish are everywhere." "Thank God none died." "Xiang!" "Xiang!" "What are you doing?" "Why do you treat me like this?" "Let go of me!" "Why didn't you open the door?" "I have a date." "Don't be like this." "Let's talk, okay?" "Let go of me first." "I left work early just to pick you up." "Why didn't you wait for me?" "Why did you smash my car?" "Who are you to tell me what to do?" "You can't treat people like this." "You come and go as you like." "That's me!" "That's my life." "Don't be like this." "Forgive me." "Let go of me." "You're so immature." "You wouldn't love me if I were mature." "Don't take me for a fool." "Don't leave me." "What's wrong?" "Xiang, what's wrong?" "Marry me?" "Okay?" "Why do you always avoid the subject?" "Look me in the eyes." "Look at me!" "Marry me, will you?" "Give me a straight answer." "Or you won't see me again." "Are you threatening me?" "I don't like being threatened." "Yes!" "I'm threatening you." "Don't ask me to pick you up." "Don't call me when you're lonely." "I mean it." "You're being childish again." "Don't say that."

"I hear the sound of money at my door!" "You'll call us twins?" "No way!" "You'll be twins if I say so." "This place was hard to find." "Yes, it's a little out of the way." "This is Jie from Singapore." "Malaysia." "Right, Malaysia." "This is Tong from Hong Kong." "Hi." "What's with the handshake?" "Rude!" "Sit!" "Let me see you together." "Very little resemblance indeed." "No matter." "I'll still present you as twin sisters." "Audiences want satisfaction nowadays." "Imagine a pair of singing and dancing twins who can maybe do some magic tricks." "People will just fall over themselves." "I'm telling you!" "This is a world without boundaries." "You're from two different places." "Your union will be a symbol of the global village." "Who's hot now?" "F4" "Yes." "And there is Yang Yang." "They all have a common appeal." "They make people smile." "They have that feel-good quality." "Whether you're from Hong Kong, Taiwan or anywhere else everyone just needs some simple fun." "Where are you staying?" "If their idols make them feel good...." "She doesn't even have a place to stay!" "It doesn't matter, they can't sing or dance." "Sorry about that." "That's okay, I got it." "Here, let me help." "I got it." "Let me help you." "It's heavy." "It's okay." "You've got it?" "Where's the hotel?" "Not far." "Let's take the bus." "Sit anywhere." "Can I use your closet?" "Sure, why not?" "Thanks." "I've never been to Malaysia." "I'm from Alor Setar." "It's small but beautiful." "How come you speak Cantonese?" "I learned it by watching movies."

"Forget about it." "It'll dry." "Let me clean it up anyway." "What's happening?" "What?" "What's going on?" "Earthquake." "Earthquake!" "Are you scared?" "Thank you for the interview." "Excuse me." "This lady." "May I ask...?" "Excuse me, madam." "Madam, may I...?" "I'm sorry." "I know nothing." "Another earthquake!" "What do you feel?" "Can I ask a question?" "It'll just take a couple of minutes." "Please." "It's just an interview." "Jie!" "We're on TV!" "What?" "I want to record it for my mother." "I have a digital video camera." "No earthquakes in Hong Kong, right?" "No, but we have typhoons." "Yes, typhoons." "So this is your first earthquake?" "Yes, it was pretty scary." "We don't have earthquakes in Malaysia." "At first I was scared, but I'm okay now." "Mom, I was on TV." "I taped it for you." "Are you okay?" "Everything is fine." "How are you?" "I'm worried about you over there." "I'm living with a girl." "Take care of yourself." "We're worried sick about you being away." "Dad is really upset." "I'm putting in a good word for you." "I know." "Please come home soon...." "This call's expensive." "I must go." "Keep in touch!" "Okay." "The flowers." "Oh, my God!" "Nothing seems to be broken." "Hey!" "I was terrified last night." "I was on the subway, and it felt like a roller coaster." "Okay, let's get on and clean up." "At least nothing's broken." "Yeah, clean them up." "Yes." "Mrs. Zhao, I need the day off." "My father had a heart attack." "I need to go to the hospital." "Add some more of these." "Okay." "Our glass door was shattered." "We were pretty lucky here." "Just a few broken pots." "I'll say." "Hello." "Love Home Florist." "With some more white daisies." "What's the matter?" "My mother fell from a window." "What?" "Which floor was she on?" "The second." "I'm going to the hospital." "The second isn't too bad." "Don't worry." "Will you be back?" "She won't call." "Hello!" "Love Home Hospital." "Love Home Florist." "The flowers will be delivered on time." "What are you doing?" "This street's one-way!" "Sorry, sorry." "Patience, patience." "Yes?" "For Mr. and Mrs. Zhao." "Yes." "Anniversary." "Okay, thank you." "Where shall I put these?" "Over there." "Twelve, 11, 10, 9..." "Twelve, 11, 10, 9..." "...8, 7, 6, go!" "...8, 7, 6, go!" "Hey!" "What?" "That's my idol!" "Who?" "Qi Yu." "Who's Qi Yu?" "She sings "Olive Tree" and "Walk in the Rain."" "I know her!" "Let's get an autograph." "Where's my notebook?" "Got any paper?" "Got it." "Here, here." "Qi Yu." "Miss Qi Yu." "Hi!" "Could I get your autograph?" "I love your music." "Me too!" "The first album I bought was yours." "Really?" "Yes." "Thank you."

"She's an ordinary person." "Do we know her?" "No, she's not famous." "Then how do you know her?" "How?" "She has a beautiful voice." "She's pretty, with long hair." "I wrote songs for her, but it's no good." "She's married, so, what's the point?" "Wow, he's in love!" "You guys are crazy." "Get out." "You're distracting me." "When do we start working?" "We can't start without a song." "I'm writing one." "Get out and practice." "Practice, practice, practice." "Go away." "We're off to practice." "I have five brothers and sisters." "I'm the oldest."

"At least it's something you want to do." "What about you?" "Isn't there something you want to do?" "Me?" "I didn't want to tell you but suddenly I feel like saying it." "Are you listening?" "My mother is having an affair." "I need to know what he's like and how he could turn my mother away from my dad." "Have you ever been in love?" "Me?" "I had a boyfriend once." "I don't think it was love." "Isn't it the same thing?" "How is it different?" "If you want to be with him, it's love." "Why would you dump someone you like?" "Why didn't you come out that day?" "You didn't even answer my call." "I waited for you downstairs." "I know you were home." "Are you mad at me?" "Is your wife away on business?" "She's in Beijing." "I thought we agreed not to complain." "Sorry." "I'm flying to Europe this time." "Let's think about this thing between us." "We need to make up our minds." "You said there'd be no strings attached." "I am not attaching strings." "I'm just not sure I love you anymore." "I have to go." "We're all old friends." "I really don't know how to do this." "I hope you can cool down for a while and reconsider." "Thank you for the advice." "Lily, I didn't want a divorce." "Your keys!" "Mommy, why do you want a divorce?" "You'll understand when you get older." "Men can't be relied upon." "We can get by just fine without them." "Do you have any savings?" "Don't forget about alimony." "It's hard to find someone at 40-something." "When you do, you don't want them." "Why not?" "If he's good, then why not?" "Bottoms up, down in one!" "Peter." "Peter!" "One, 2, 3!" "Time to eat!" "Time to eat." "Are you feeling better today?" "Linda, Grandma's winning!" "You bet." "You can talk to her." "She likes being talked to." "She can hear you." "Try reading the newspaper to her."

"Do you realize what you've done?" "It's pouring, and I can't find a cab." "I can't get home." "I'm cold." "Don't call me again." "Who will I call when I need someone?" "I knew this would happen." "Hello?" "Xiang?" "Are you there?" "Hello?" "Xiang." "Mom, why do I have to study piano?" "A girl needs a backup." "If your husband ever leaves you you can teach piano to support yourself."

"I can't wear them all." "Hi." "I'm packing." "I'm about to leave." "Okay, get on with your surgery." "Bye." "Hey, Qi, I'm packing." "I'm about to leave." "Get on with your recording session." "Bye." "Hello, Jack." "I'm packing." "I'm about to leave." "Shit!" "Why did you buy a tape recorder?" "I want to record my own stuff." "Maybe a new song, a phrase the sounds of Taipei and your voice babbling." "This is my 20th day in Taipei." "Taipei's a big city." "What are you saying?" "Quiet!" "Don't talk behind my back." "I have a fat, ugly friend, and she babbles on every day." "How dare you say I'm ugly!" "I'm babbling, not ugly." "She does love to talk." "I'm really happy." "So no problem." "I'll just wait." "We haven't started training, let alone performing." "What are you saying?" "I'm badmouthing you!" "Have you ever kissed a girl?" "Have you?" "I haven't!" "Me neither." "In my school, lots of girls like girls." "Same here." "Do all Malaysian girls sleep in their bras?" "You!" "So, what do you call this?" "Why are you so scared when I...?" "How do you know those old songs?" "I learned them from my mother." "She knows a lot of old songs." "She has a great voice." "You don't know these songs?" "Why am I here?" "What am I looking for?" "Oh, my God!" "So the long weekend's coming." "Any plans?" "Maybe the hot springs with my man." "Great!" "We're going to the lake." "Really?" "Look, how's this?" "Not bad at all." "Okay, that's decided, then." "Thanks." "Guess what!" "I'm going to the East Coast with my boyfriend." "I'm really looking forward to it!" "Bring me back a souvenir." "Me too." "Do these go together?" "Sure!" "Let's see how to arrange them." "Where are you and your husband going?" "James?" "This is Lily." "You're still here!" "I figured you'd be gone for the weekend." "What?" "You're in Bangkok!" "Sorry!" "Hello." "Is Mr. Wu there?" "This is...." "Who's this?" "Oh!" "Mrs. Wu." "Please tell him Ms. Shi called from Citibank." "Hi, Fred." "This is Lily." "Hello." "Lu Yi-zheng." "We were in elementary school together." "Lily Shi." "Are you free this weekend?" "Hello." "Mr. Wang." "Mr. Wang, can you show me some apartments?" "You've changed jobs?" "May I ask what you're doing now?" "You're teaching tennis?" "You're teaching tennis." "Tennis." "Well, that's fine too." "Let's start." "Watch the ball." "It's all right." "Again." "This is tennis, not dodge ball." "Hit the ball, don't hide from it." "Hold the racket a little lower." "Turn the handle back a little." "Hold tight." "You'll gain more strength." "Swing like this." "Swing through your shoulder." "Same with your backhand." "Follow through smoothly." "What's with the backhand?" "Grip tight with both hands." "Stare in the direction of the ball." "Swing back through your shoulder." "Loosen up the shoulder a bit." "Look at the ball." "Try this." "Okay." "Good." "Right?" "Look at the ball, not at me." "Good, good!"

"No more." "Lily." "Lily, come on." "Don't run!" "I really can't!" "You won't find twin girls in Taiwan..." "...half as talented as mine." "No kidding?" "The big labels approached me, but I'm holding back." "The majors, you name it." "I'm not doing business with them." "Why's that?" "Why, you ask?" "Hello?" "Hi, sweetheart." "What's the time there?" "You're still up?" "You should be in bed by now." "Mommy's having lunch with friends." "It's noisy." "No, you don't know them." "They're all new friends." "You don't know them." "I've been busy playing tennis, and dancing and hiking too." "Skiing?" "Sure you can go skiing." "So you won't be back for Christmas?" "No problem, you go skiing." "There will be lots of parties here." "Maybe I'll go away with friends." "Sandy, you have to call Daddy." "Mommy misses you." "Okay." "Take care." "Bye!" "Bye!" "I want them to be this generation's new pop idols." "Good for you!" "Hello?" "I'm in a meeting." "Get on with your practicing, then." "Bye!" "See how dedicated they are?" "Do you want to book them for a concert?" ""The law is inadequate in protecting the elderly at home." "Although...."" "This is all about the aged." "There is nothing else in here!" "Let's not read anymore, okay?" "No more news." "How about I trim your nails?" "They're really long!" "I've got clippers here." "Let me trim your nails." "I used to cut my daughter's nails." "But one year, when she turned 12 she started to do it herself." "She hasn't needed me much since then." "Children grow up and leave." "Parents age and go away." "Men go away too." "Good thing they do." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you." "Right?" "Let's hear it for the Sunday Sisters." "Next up are Cindy and Candy." "Hey, who are you?" "Who invited you?" "Why did you sing so many songs?" "Who the hell are you?" "What's your problem!" "You know who I am?" "Who cares?" "You're an asshole." "Are you crazy?" "Crazy?" "I'm defending you here." "Why are you so mad?" "What's with you?" "I defend you, and you yell at me?" "You're crazy!" "I'm crazy?" "You never think of people's feelings." "I have feelings too!" "Have you finished?" "Stay out of this." "What is it?" "Stop it!" "Who are you?" "I'm their manager." "Talk to me." "Manager?" "From where?" "We're just starting out." "That figures." "Shut up." "What's it to you?" "Pipe down." "Stop it." "Quiet, please." "Did I give permission to go on-stage?" "You're crazy." "You're nuts." "Excuse me, what did you say?" "Why didn't you get my permission?" "Why do I need your permission?" "Don't you know who I am?" "No!" "His dad is the principal." "Get out, you guys." "Get out." "Get out." "Wait outside." "Nut case." "I'm sorry." "They're an ignorant bunch!" "They're new." "They were very rude." "You're right." "Damn ignorant." "And rude." "Forgive them." "I apologize!" "Sorry!" "We must have been terrible up there." "No way." "We Sunday Sisters top everyone." "What is the bravest thing you've done?" "Me?" "Milking a cow." "Milking a cow?" "I'm serious!" "That cow kicked someone to death." "No one dared milk her." "So do you dare make love to me?" "There's no one here." "It's dirty." "Very dirty." "This one is nicer." "Maybe every stall is different." "What?" "Why are you laughing?" "Why are you laughing?" "What's so funny?" "What?" "What?" "!" "Check her out." "It's the girl we met this morning." "Hey." "What do you want?" "Where's your friend?" "Mind your own business!" "Let's call it a truce." "No." "Come on." "No." "You have a pen?" "A pen." "What do you want?" "Can I give you my number?" "Call me and we'll go out sometime." "Okay?" "It's all right." "Just a kid." "Don't worry." "May I sit with you?" "Put this up for me." "Yes, right up there." "This side." "Put it here." "Do it yourself!" "You're taller." "Help me!" "Higher up." "Thank you." "Xiang!" "Listen to me." "Xiang." "Don't act like this." "Leave me alone!" "No." "Xiang!" "Be careful!" "What's going on?" "Come help rescue my fish." "Can you see that one?" "You're standing on it!" "There's one over there." "Be careful." "Don't squash it." "There's another one!" "Give it to me." "Qi, give me." "Be careful." "What are you two doing?" "Catch it!" "Hello." "Who's this guy?" "This is ridiculous." "How should I know who he is?" "Who are you?" "What's it to you?" "What kind of game is this?" "This is too much." "You have no right to question me." "Nor do you." "You think I don't know what you and May were doing?" "It's all crap." "May asked for my help." "I did nothing!" "Of course she asked." "And you do whatever she wants?" "Right?" "You have no right to lecture me." "Don't act like this." "Don't touch me." "I need to get a new fishbowl." "Close the door when you leave." "Who are you?" "I'm Situ." "I've come for the piano." "Sorry, today isn't a good day." "I can see that." "Another time?" "I have to stop flying change my numbers and disappear from this world." "Look over there." "Check out the one in gray." "He's looking over here." "Behave yourself, girl!" "I looked at the same man for 30 years." "Now there are new ones." "Why shouldn't I stare?" "Don't just look, do something." "Go for it, Lily!" "All talk, no action?" "Calm down." "Oh, my God, she's going for it!" "She's fearless!" "She won't give up!" "Yes, here's the sauna." "Hi." "Hello." "Excuse me, I just told my friends we went to primary school together." "They won't believe me!" "You probably don't remember that we were classmates." "You probably don't recall my name" "Lily Shi." "What?" "It wasn't primary school." "We were in middle school together." "I was in Ms. Chen's class." "You were in Ms. Liu's class." "No kidding?" "Here's my card." ""Zhang Shi-Jie"?" "Call me Jerry." "Let's meet up sometime." "Miss, can I get a pen?" ""Zhang Shi-Jie."" "Zhang Shi-Jie." "Hello." "All alone?" "You don't have a lunch date?" "Take your time." "I meant with your girlfriends." "I was just passing by." "I thought I'd see how you were doing." "The flowers are beautiful as usual." "Maybe I'll buy some." "But there's no one to give them to." "I came to talk to you about Sandy." "She still won't talk to me." "Can you put in a word for me?" "Please?" "This is grown-up business." "Why drag her into this?" "I've discussed it with Amy" "Hello?" "Hold on a second." "Listen to me." "Amy wouldn't ask Sandy to call her "Mom."" "So it's okay, right?" "Please talk to her." "Hey!" "Would you--?" "Would you please talk to her about it?" "Let's talk some other time." "Love Home Florist." "This is Jerry." "Is this Lily?" "Yes." "This is she." "Jerry." "Sorry about just now." "I'd like to order some flowers." "Were we really in school together?" "Why can't I remember?" "I was sort of a nerd back then." "Not the kind people remember." "Me too." "Why do you remember me?" "You'd like to order flowers?" "What kind?" "Can you help me decide?" "Who are they for?" "Is it a special occasion?" "They're for a girl." "The message is, "Dear Emmy.... "" "E-M-M-Y." ""Welcome back." "Love, Jerry. "" "How much do you want to spend?" "Your call." "They need to be beautiful and big." "I trust your judgment." "Lily, what exactly should the card say?" "It says here "Dear Emily" and "Go to hell."" "This is...." "Should it be "Dear Emily, welcome back." "Love, Jerry"?" "Okay." "Yes." "Is it "Emily"?" "Flowers to deliver, Xiang!" "Okay." "Welcome!" "Lily, I...." "Wait a moment." "I'll add some of this." "Okay." "How much?" "1000 NT." "Qin, take the money." "Okay!" "Thank you." "Please deliver the flowers on Friday." "We will." "Thanks again." "Take care!" "Do you want more flowers?" "We've got some good ones today." "Did you like the flowers?" "I can do a new arrangement." "You misspelled the name." "Misspelled?" "Misspelled what?" ""Emmy." You wrote "Emily."" "Oh, no!" "Qin, you misspelled it." "Can't be!" "Check it!" "I'm so sorry." "Jerry, I really am sorry!" "My God, how could this happen?" "She must have been upset." "Nothing jewelry can't fix." "Wow." "That's nice!" "Women are" "Easy to please!" "One little stone and we're all set." "Men are more difficult." "Correct it." "All right." "Change it to Emily." "No, I mean" "Emmy!" "Emmy." "Emmy." "E-M-M-Y." "E-M-M-Y." "Jerry, I'm sorry." "Let me pay you back." "Really, I must." "Don't worry." "Please!" "Are you free now?" "It will be really quick."

"It's not for me." "It's for Mr. Zhang." "Jerry Zhang." "Jerry Zhang." "Okay." "Good." "Should I have a bottle of wine ready?" "Wine?" "Put some champagne on ice." "Okay." "Welcome!" "Do you have a reservation?" "Jerry." "Jerry Zhang." "Yes." "This way, please." "Mr. Zhang, we have champagne for you." "Thanks." "Your guests are here, Miss Shi." "You must be Emmy." "These are for you from Mr. Zhang." "I'm the florist." "I am here to apologize for misspelling your name." "No problem." "Thank you." "You two enjoy." "Bye!" "This way." "Into the alley." "Keep going!" "Love Home Florist." "This is Lily." "Lily." "Thanks." "How was the food?" "Where do we put the fridge?" "In the kitchen, thanks." "Okay." "Move up a little." "Okay." "This way." "This way." "Miss Ku." "The washing machine?" "Miss Ku?" "Go through the kitchen onto the balcony." "That's not right, mister." "The drawer is on the right side." "Please nail it in." "You have to take the box off first." "Where should we put this?" "Move back first." "Don't leave yet." "I need help." "Guys, take the case off outside." "So how about this?" "Take the speakers and put it...." "Where should I put this?" "Over here, okay?" "Right here." "How's that?" "Yeah." "The cabinet?" "Put it here." "That room?" "Yes, thanks." "Sir, please take these boxes out." "The mirror's in the way here." "Is it okay if I move it?" "Okay." "Thanks." "Please put it in that room." "Okay." "Please take that case outside." "Okay." "Here's another one." "Take it down." "Don't leave it by the elevator." "The dryer is done." "Want to test it?" "Okay." "I heard you used to go to that restaurant with your husband." "I rarely hear you mention him." "I'm not interested in the past." "Is he a bastard?" "It's no one's fault." "We weren't good for each other." "No one's at fault." "Did your girlfriend leave?" "She's flying to America this time." "Do you miss her?" "I don't know if I miss her or if I'm just lonely." "People are selfish." "We find a partner to keep us from loneliness in old age." "Where do I put the mirror?" "Here." "In the corner." "There." "Just put it here." "Careful." "All right." "One, two, three." "That's good." "Yeah, over." "There you go." "Here?" "Okay." "You don't remember me, do you?" "My mother gave me this when I was 8." "I'm a bit reluctant to give it up." "But keeping it...." "You're giving it to your daughter?" "And she's also 8?" "Why do you want her to study piano?" "Yaqi?" "My daughter" " Her mother passed away two years ago." "I think all little girls like to play piano." "At any rate, I think it's nice for girls to learn piano." "Have you asked her?" "I want to surprise her." "I don't have much money, and your price fits my budget." "So here I am." "Where's the metronome?" "Do you mind its age?" "Whose age?" "You'll need a new one of these." "I mean the age of the piano." "It's old, but the sound is excellent." "I haven't been taking care of it." "It needs tuning, but it's still a good piano." "Sounds like I'm talking about myself." "Promise me you'll take care of it." "I've had it for 20 years." "I'm very attached to it." "These are great dumplings." "Really good!" "Eat one garlic clove and a dumpling." "One clove for each dumpling!" "You sure?" "Why not?" "I'm sleeping alone tonight." "What about you?" "Same here." "Eat up, then." "Okay." "Good!" "Why didn't you order food?" "I've finished." "Finished?" "Why didn't you wait for us?" "Forget it." "I'll order." "You're half an hour late!" "I didn't know the movie was so long." "Jie, 10 dumplings for me." "Okay, 10 dumplings." "And five more for me." "Beer." "She's mad at us." "Who?" "Her." "Why?" "Don't be." "Excuse me." "Can I have the chili sauce?" "Don't be mad." "Here's to you." "From Jie to Jie." "Right!" "You're both Jie." "Yeah." "You have a connection with both of us." "Let's drink." "Just one drink." "I'm leaving." "What happened?" "Walking in the Rain" "Does the song make you sad?" "I don't have time for sadness." "I just try to enjoy it." "Xiang?" "Where are you?" "Don't ever call me again!" "Morning." "Morning." "What are you doing here?" "This is my block too." "Oh." "Coming!" "Coming!" "Hello?" "I got it, Qin." "Hello?" "Bad day, Lily." "One of my shipments was rejected." "I have to go to China to fix it." "Emmy is having a party, and I can't go." "She's very upset." "This time, don't buy more jewelry." "If a man calls you once or twice a day what does it mean?" "I'm sure he's not interested in me." "But he even calls me when he's abroad." "Emmy!" "Going on vacation?" "I'm going to Japan." "How nice!" "To try to work things out." "Don't be temperamental." "He said he was pretty upset." "I asked if he'd quarreled with Emmy." "He didn't want to discuss it." "He only says that he's irritated and must make an important decision." "What do you think it is?" "Wow, gorgeous!" "I'm so sorry." "Hang on." "You still have your wedding ring on." "But I've never seen your family here." "Hey!" "You're so cute." "Come here!" "It's your roommate's birthday today." "Her whole family's here." "I celebrated with my family last year." "But we mustn't be jealous of others." "Hurry, blow out the candles!" "What are you doing?" "They want us to pay every week." "Every week." "Can I put it on my credit card?" "Yes." "How could my credit card get denied?" "I'll check it out." "Lend me your phone card." "No." "Operator." "I'm calling collect to Hong Kong." "You can keep your card." "I'm broke too." "I'll have my mom send money here." "What do you mean, no collect calls?" "You call and ask for Li Mei-ling." "Tell her that her daughter's calling." "I'm not paying the charges." "Collect call, get it?" "You don't know what a collect call is?" "We'd better find Shi Ge." "For what?" "He lies and screws people's wives." "That's all he's good for." "Then why did you come here?" "Shi Ge." "We have no money to pay the rent." "You want some?" "You really like singing?" "I never meant to lie to you." "I wrote a lot of songs." "I worked really hard." "But they don't want them." "They said the songs were crap." "I took them to dinner." "They said the songs were crap." "This studio's finished." "Why?" "I don't have money for the rent." "We can record a demo." "I can sing" "No way!" "Crap!" "They're all crap!" "Sorry." "Take the money and go home." "Good girl." "Just go home." "Don't sing." "Don't cry." "Don't sing." "I never even got to record anything and you want me to go home." "Go in." "Go in and sing." "Good girl." "Go inside and sing." "Go on." "I was thinking about a blue story." "It gave me a wonderful feeling." "When I tell my friends the story, they always ask, "And then what?"" "I say, "There is no 'and then. ' The story is over. "" "I'm really homesick." "I'm finally feeling the pain." "Until there's a cure perhaps soap operas and ice cream will do the trick." "Mom, I want to settle down, but how?" "It's easy to find someone who loves me." "But where is the right man?" "You always said, "Men always leave. "" "So whenever I'm in love, I'm always suspicious of the man." "Will I ever be lucky enough to find true love?" "Is love ever that simple?" "When the right man shows up, how will I know he's the one?" "Mom can you at least give me a sign?" "Maybe with the sound of a bell or angels singing or even a gust of wind." "Yaqi, see that lady there?" "She's the piano lady I told you about." "Mother will be relieved when I'm home." "My dad will stop nagging me." "Maybe I'll go back to Hong Kong and become a flight attendant." "I'll fly everywhere meet different people." "You can do it too!" "Maybe we could meet in France one day." "Does Malaysian Air fly to France?" "I want to go to Greece and Egypt." "I want to go to Italy." "Italian men are gorgeous." "Yes, they are!" "Spanish men are hotter!" "Let's go there too." "I wonder how Shi Ge is." "Don't worry about him." "He'll always find a way." "Besides, he has love." "At least he really loves my mom." "That's right." "He's my mother's lover." "I think my mother loves him because he cares about her more than my father does." "Does Shi Ge know about you?" "No." "I came all the way here just to see if the guy is a good guy." "This is the tape from the earthquake." "You're on it." "Am I really?" "Of course!" "I'm on there too!" "Why else would I give it to you?" "Bye!" "Good." "Again." "Go back to "do."" "Did you enjoy that?" "Very much." "Why do you want to learn piano?" "I like it." "Yes." "Liking it is important." "When you grow up, you can play it for your loved ones." "Dad, I'll play for you." "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman!" "I am an abandoned woman!" "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman." "I am an abandoned woman!" "So I am an abandoned woman." "Yeah." "I am an abandoned woman." "Happy birthday." "Morning!" "Morning!" "Morning!" "Good morning!" "Have a nice day!"
