"It's been over ten years" "How've you been?" "Alright" "I opened a shop" "And you?" "That broken down car" "Still hasn't been replaced" "How do you think?" "That's because you're nostalgic" "Real fucking nostalgic fuck" "What's wrong?" "You're not in the business anymore?" "Hand me a cigarette" "Back when I had two hands" "Life was already so hard" "Now with only one hand left" "How could I survive?" "It's very inconvenient?" "It is very inconvenient" "I even have to ask your help to smoke a cigarette" "Does it hurt?" "It hurts" "I'm used to it by now" "It hurt for half a year" "After that it hurt even more" "After it was severed" "The place where my palm used to be still hurt" "I don't know why" "Even when the hand's gone, it still hurts?" "Blackie's gang did it" "That time I didn't know you were joking" "So I really went and did it" "Later one time" "One of Blackie's sidekicks, Little Four" "Do you remember him?" "That crazy Four" "I was ambushed by him" "You know what he did to me?" "Every joint in my fingers" "He crushed with a hammer" "Then he hammered my wrist" "That fucker Little Four bit the dust recently" "He did?" "Got sick" "Tell that fatty" "He can't stay here" "Today it was because of you" "But we'll come for him again" "Next time it won't be like this" "You oughta know" "Is the master in?" "That's me" "I mean the one who's older than you" "You're probably talking about my old man" "He passed away a year ago" "How can that be?" "I visited him two years ago before I went to the mainland" "That time, I even told him the 'Boston' over the doorway was spelled wrong" "It's not P, it's B" "He said it was P, not B" "Are you from around here?" "I'm from Hong Kong" "Actually my old man was too" "He just came here first" "When did you come here?" "8 years ago" "I've never seen you before" "I've seen you before" "I still remember you" "Ok, then..." "I have a piece of cloth" "I originally wanted to ask your father to make a shirt for me" "But he's not here" "So I can only ask you instead" "No problem" "Ok." "Then let's take a look at the cloth" "I had never before seen such fine cloth" "After the customer left" "I pondered a long time in the shop" "About what, I don't know" "Not long after I began cutting the cloth" "That day" "Was the happiest day I ever spent as a tailor" "That night I had a dream" "I dreamt of my father" "Wearing the clothes I had made" "Afterwards, I realized" "It was as if I had made this suit of clothing for my father" "He tailored clothing for people all his life" "But he himself was never able to wear a good pair" "After he left" "Holding on to this store" "Was like holding on to a coffin" "Except the one buried in the coffin" "Was myself" "What happened?" "I told my customer" "I don't want to make clothes for other people anymore" "Because I know in 20 years" "I'd still be wearing this same suit of clothing, tailoring clothes for other people" "I asked him, could I go into business with him?" "How did you know I opened a clothing factory in Guang Zhou?" "I still remember you talked to my old man about it" "You really intend to give up this shop and come help me in the clothing factory?" "Then let me ask What are you going to do with the shop?" "I'll close it down first" "Once I settle down over there" "Then I'll take care of matters over here" "You're completely different from your father" "He was cautious and conventional" "When I first arrived in Guang Zhou" "Everything was quite smooth" "Who would have thought in less than a year?" "A problem arose in company turnover" "After the company was finished" "I returned to Hong Kong" "And couldn't find a job," "Only some temporary work" "One day I remembered this suit of clothing" "And wanted to come back and take it with me" "Thought I might as well come back to take a look at the shop" "As a result, they caught me as soon as I returned" "Back when the company had problems" "I put the house up as collateral" "And borrowed five million" "Then the underground loan sharks couldn't find him" "So they came for me" "How did things turn out this way?" "When I saw you before, you were even quite happy to leave here" "How the hell could I know?" "Back when I was living with my mother in Hong Kong," "I always wanted to leave" "After she passed away," "I came to Taipei" "The following years I saw my father's business getting harder and harder" "After I came to Guang Zhou," "Everything was new" "I wanted to stay and become prosperous" "In the end, it's still the same" "Just now Mad Dog told me" "You can't stay here anymore" "They'll come for you again." "You know there's no one the mafia can't find" "You were lucky this time" "They only splashed you with paint" "Next time it'll be different" "Young man" "You aren't hurt, are you?" "I'm alright" "My arm was hit" "I think you should head back" "Or else the later it is the more problems will come up" "Yeah" "Where do you want to go?" "I can take you there" "Is your car white?" "Yeah" "Then never mind" "It's blocked again" "Did you see who it was?" "Yeah" "Looks like it was someone from over by the clinic" "Should be the fourth floor's" "Only their car comes and goes like that" "Who are you here for?" "I want to ask if the double-parked car downstairs is yours?" "Ah Bao" "Is your car blocking someone?" "Which car?" "Which car?" "A grayish blue car" "The grayish blue one" "No" "Sorry, not our car" "Are you here to fuck around, dipshit?" "I want to speak to Ah Bao" "I told you it's not our car" "I want to speak to him about something else" "Ah Bao, someone here for you" "Alright, be right there" "Did a friend introduce you here?" "He's the shit who just said someone was blocking his car" "Are you that bored, letting anyone come here to fuck around?" "I just said it's not my car" "You blocked my car during the evening" "Evening?" "Damn, that was three, four hours ago" "What the fuck do you want coming to me now?" "Your car's blocked again?" "It's not my fucking car" "Go find the owner" "What do you want me for?" "If you hadn't blocked my car in the first place" "I wouldn't be here right now" "Brother," "Let me tell you frankly" "I also hate assholes who double-park" "But what can you do?" "Everyone's out there making a living Am I right?" "Cars come and go" "And sometimes they double park for a while 5 minutes, 10 minutes only" "So what?" "Am I right?" "Your car's been parked there longer than 10 minutes" "You Motherfucker!" "What day is it today?" "Sunday" "What time is it?" "Past 9 o'clock" "Who am I hurting if I park there?" "I'm hurting you?" "Then what the fuck you wanna do?" "Then how's this?" "Your car's stuck there now anyway, am I right?" "How's this?" "You can call a girl and have a good time" "Here, I'll give it to you cheap Alright?" "No need" "It's my apology to you" "Come on, I'm serious" "This one's not bad" "No thanks" "See, she used to be in fashion magazines" "Come on" "Just give it a try" "No need" "You don't like this type, huh?"

"Taiwan's a small island" "Ocean on four sides" "There's a mountain in the middle" "Dividing Taiwan into east and west" "Summers are very hot" "Winter's not too cold" "Then where are we staying in Taiwan?" "Taipei" "Is it big?" "Taipei's not small," "But compared to Shanghai or Beijing" "Of course it's a bit smaller" "But it's very modern" "I've heard there are lots of delicious things in Taipei" "Yeah" "Night markets, eateries" "When we go there I'll take you to eat there" "You'll take me to these places?" "Yeah" "Does Taipei have places for body piercing?" "Body piercing?" "Does Taipei have places for body piercing?" "You're talking about tattoos" "Yeah" "There are" "The same one?"

"35" "How long have we known each other?" "About 15 years or so" "Every day for the last 15 years I've listened to you bullshitting" "What's with you?" "Are you asking for someone to fuck you up?" "You obviously see I'm in pain" "You don't say a thing to comfort me" "You even keep talking about your dad's cancer" "A swollen nose and nasopharyngeal carcinoma are two different things" "You mix them together, what's with you?" "You think I'll cheer up hearing that?" "Fuck" "I took you and that vegetarian under my care" "One bullshits all day" "One sleeps in a chair all day" "I tell him to look after the place" "And he gets all pissed with me" "Even makes fun of me" "Fuck" "Vegetarian and still wanna be gangster" "Sometimes argues with me he can't take lives" "Why doesn't he get out and fuck with someone else?" "Speaking of you two" "Laurel and Hardy" "Ah Bao, don't talk like that" "We've known you so long" "We haven't been fucking with you" "You say that vegetarian" "Looks like a lazy shit" "But when something happens, he's always first to fight for you" "Today, if it wasn't for him Giving a kick like that" "That nutjob might still be here fucking around" "If the police came" "We'd have no business at all" "Seriously" "Do you know how bad nasopharyngeal carcinoma gets?" "Back when my dad's nose was so fucking huge" "The doctor said they'd have to cut the whole nose off with a knife" "Motherfucker, fucking terrifying" "Just two nose-holes left on your face" "Look like Michael Jackson" "Do I have to insult your dad to make you shut up?" "If you've got time to fuck around, then think" "Where can we toss this guy?" "We could throw him in a park somewhere" "But the shit'll hit the fan if he dies" "Fuck, so unlucky" "Ah Bao, then how's this" "Once you take care of the guy in the back" "Send Lee Wei back" "Then I'll take you to the hospital, alright?"

"I won't" "Then call me when you get here" "I've gotta go" "OK?" "OK." "Bye bye" "Your situation is very unusual" "That is to say, it is probably impossible for you to have a child with each other" "How should I put it?" "Because your wife's eggs and your sperm are incompatible" "She cannot become pregnant by natural means" "Why did this happen?" "There is no why" "This is a problem your bodies were born with" "If you want to have your own child" "You will have to try in-vitro fertilization" "This is the only way" "Using your husband's sperm with another person's eggs" "Or using your eggs with another person's sperm" "You can become pregnant this way" "Doctor, you must be kidding us" "When I came eight months ago, you said there was hope" "You had me do all these examinations" "I did everything" "You told me to do ovulation and do antisperm" "What did I not do?" "You told me there was still hope" "Now what are you telling me?" "Now you're telling me egg and sperm are incompatible, how can I accept that?" "I've been with my husband so long" "His sperm are just yawning around beside my egg?" "Is this a joke?" "Now what?" "How many more tests will you tell me to take?" "Are you going to tell me to give up?" "It's been eight months!" "Doctor" "Mei" "It's been eight months" "Mei" "Say something, doctor" "Enough" "Fuck you" "You understand shit" "Do you know what it's like to have your legs spread apart?" "To have pliers digging around inside you?" "Do you understand?" "You just have to jack off with a porn magazine in the fucking bathroom" "You understand shit" "Enough already" "Fuck" "Hello" "Are you at work?" "Yeah" "Can I come over to see you?" "I'm still working right now" "I'm already outside the office" "Can you let me inside?" "Wait a moment" "You eat a little first" "I'm not hungry yet" "I shouldn't have been like that to you at the hospital yesterday." "I'm sorry" "Can you look at me while I'm speaking to you?" "Can you respect me while I'm working?" "We've been together for four years?" "What are you trying to say?" "I know things are bad with us right now" "But when we first wanted to have a baby, it definitely wasn't to save our marriage" "I would never have such a despicable idea" "Don't you remember at all?" "When we were first married" "How much we loved each other?" "Together, there was no end to the things we did and talked about" "We wanted to have a baby to share in our happiness" "You've probably forgotten, haven't you?" "I haven't forgotten" "In order to have a baby" "I tried so hard and so much, and for what?" "It was because I never forgot the promises we made at the start" "I never forgot how I first loved you" "Yesterday I went to the hospital" "After I got back" "I had a dream" "I dreamt I had a baby" "Then when I walked into the nursery" "No one was there" ""Delivery Room"" "I was very afraid then and I became exhausted I couldn't move" "Then I kept yelling," "Is anyone there?" "Is anyone there?" "After I woke up, you weren't beside me" "I guess you were at work, so I went to look for you" "Because I couldn't bear to be home alone" "I'm sorry" "I'm sorry" "I shouldn't have been like that to you at the hospital" "Why don't we try one more time?" "The noodle is getting cold You eat first" "Shall we eat together tomorrow?" "Alright" "Hello" "I don't know" "I don't know where I am" "Who is this?" "Alright" "There's no need" "Have you eaten yet?" "It's ok, it's ok" "I'll be home soon" "Don't worry" "I haven't" "You don't have to wait for me You eat first" "I'm fine" "Ok" "Excuse me I forgot to ask where you're going" "Take me to Mingzhi Institute of Technology" "You still have school this late?" "My house is near there" "Oh yeah, what were you doing back there?" "I don't know either I was there when I woke up" "You don't know?" "Normally nobody goes there at night" "You were lucky" "I was just heading back" "Otherwise, catching a cab around here" "You wouldn't catch one if you stood there till you died" "It looks like you're hurt pretty bad" "Do you want to go to the hospital?" "It's alright" "Just head to Mingzhi Institute of Technology" "Oh, ok" "You drive pretty fast" "Pretty fast?" "This isn't fast at all" "I used to piloting airplanes" "I am Chinese Air Force Academy Star Fighter" "Fighter aircraft pilot" "I've had a dream since I was little" "A dream to become just like a bird" "Soaring above the blue skies and white clouds" "It's an awesome feeling" "Look at me coming out, look at me disbanding" "I rise up, I descend Loosen the handle, glide" "Slow down, make contact, see the runway" "Lock my four wheels completely" "Glide down" "Turn twice, land" "Did you see that?" "The ultimate speed" "You're lucky today" "Catching a car driven by a fighter pilot" "How did you get to driving taxis?" "My flight instructor told me that" "All it takes to fly is to have the brains of a pig" "That's enough to let you take off" "Then why wasn't I able to take off?" "That's because our flight instructor said" "I have the brains of a pig with a concussion" "Today's Mother's Day" "You're hurt so badly" "If your Mother sees this, won't she be upset?" "Driver, could we change route to Chengde Road?" "Chengde Road?" "Mingzhi Institute of Technology and Chengde Road are pretty far apart" "Where on earth do you want to go?" "To Chengde Road" "Chengde Road" "Please hurry" "Ok, no problem" "What's wrong?" "Lady, I want to buy another cake" "No, what happened to you?" "I'd like to buy a cake, lady" "My cakes are sold out" "Here, sit down first" "How about a drink of water?" "Didn't you buy a cake this afternoon?" "That one got ruined" "You haven't been home yet?" "Not yet" "It's ok, lady" "I'll buy one somewhere else" "Wait a moment" "I have three cakes here" "They were flawed" "I was planning to save them for myself" "They don't look as good" "Not as much energy" "But they taste just as good The cake is fine" "It's ok, I'll buy it from you" "No need, no need" "These cakes aren't for sale" "Just take them home to eat" "Do you want to rest a little longer?" "It's ok, I'm heading back now" "Thank you, lady" "I thought you went back already" "I don't know," "It seems like I was beaten up" "Was it the fourth floors' doing?" "Should've been" "After I woke up" "I was already at the riverbank" "Go to the bathroom first, wash your bruises" "Ok" "I'll come help you in a while" "Ok" "How could they have done this?" "Hello" "Hello, Boss" "Was it you who reported a blocked car?" "That's right" "Do you still need a tow truck?" "Yeah, of course I do" "Ok, you can take a break Drink a cup of hot water" "We're heading there at top speed now lt'll be there in 10 minutes" "Ok" "Ok then" "Goodbye" "You're a real good guy" "You're hurt so badly" "And still bring us snacks" "You ate all the cakes?" "There's one left" "For you" "It tasted quite good" "Have you eaten anything yet?" "Not yet" "Sit down" "I'll make a bowl of soup for you" "Are you alright?" "Much better" "What kind of soup is this?" "Fish head soup with shredded ginger" "I see you hurt the corner of your eye" "So eat the part with the fish eyes first" "I'll give you a bowl with more fish meat in it later" "Are these from the fish head in the bathroom before?" "That's right" "The kitchen's too cramped" "No place to put it" "But don't worry about hygiene" "In the sink" "I already had this fish cleaned out thoroughly" "It's sweet" "I drank three bowls" "It's ok" "I should be going soon" "I'm not eating" "Your car is still blocked anyway" "You should drink the fish soup first" "I just got a call from the towing lot" "They're sending a tow truck soon" "I'll wait outside" "You're hurt so badly" "Let me send you home" "I'll send him back first" "Ok" "It's so late" "Will the tow truck still come?" "They called and said they'd be here soon" "They wouldn't be lying to me, would they?" "Then we'll be waiting for nothing" "I don't think we have to be waiting right now" "You're hurt so badly" "Can you drive alright?" "I'm fine" "Leg still hurts a little" "You're ok, right?" "Not as bad as you" "Don't drive too fast" "Where are you going later?" "First I'll make sure you get home safely" "Then I'll go find a place to live somewhere" "What do you intend to do afterwards?" "Go to the mainland" "Do you know anyone on the mainland?" "Yeah" "The people I knew back when I was doing business there" "Go back and see what chances there are" "Are you in a hurry?" "I must have more free time than anyone in the world right now" "Hey!" "Fuck!" "You know him?" "No" "Then why'd you hit him?" "I don't know" "What about you?" "He beat me up like this" "Fuck" "Wait for me" "Hurry, hurry" "I didn't know you came back to hit people" "Get out, get out" "Lift him across" "What the hell are you doing?" "Lift him across" "Wait, wait" "Look at my car." "Wait for me" "Where are you going?" "Who is it?" "Sir, it's me" "Sir" "When I left tonight" "I told Nini I would come back to see her" "They're all asleep by now" "Can you let me in for a moment?" "What happened to your face?" "I bumped into something by accident" "I just want to see Nini for a moment" "Who is it?" "It's me" "How come it's so late?" "Last time I promised Nini I'd come back to see her" "Nini" "Were you a good girl?" "Why did you come back so late?" "Me?" "I had something to do just now" "Are you going to stay here tonight?" "Nini, I'm going to leave in a while" "You have to be good and listen to grandpa and grandma from now on" "No, you can't go" "If you're going, I'm going with you" "Nini, you can't talk like that" "Little Ma" "What's your name?" "Chen Mo" "C-H-E-N, M-O" "As soon as I touched your face" "I knew you weren't Little Ma" "Before you left" "You came back to eat with us" "You are a good man" "About the same age as Little Ma too" "Even though you lied to make me happy" "Even if my eyes cannot see" "My hands are not blind" "At dinner, I kept feeling that" "You were sent by Heaven to watch over us" "Come, Mr. Chen" "Help me keep this envelope" "In it is the letter Little Ma left for Nini" "Take Nini and go" "I believe you can provide the right path for Nini" "Nini" "Ever since Mommy gave birth to you" "She's never left the hospital again" "At first" "I thought she just needed time to recover" "But only when it got worse and worse every day" "Did I realize that things were going to be different" "During those few days when you were just born" "I suddenly remembered" "I'd known your mother for twelve years" "I felt like those twelve years should've been only a part of our entire lives" "But, in fact they were all of it" "We have to go it's not because we don't love you" "That we are abandoning you" "There are many turning points in peoples' lives" "We cannot anticipate them" "In an instant" "Everything disappears" "I remember the time when Mommy passed away" "She told Daddy to catch a bug that was on the ceiling" "I could never find that bug" "But your Mommy kept insisting it was there" "Afterwards" "I asked a policeman" "What that bug looked like?" "He drew it for me" "It was a long, long" "Insect with many, many legs" "I don't know why an insect would need that many legs to walk" "Just like I don't know why we left you like we did" "In the future you will encounter many setbacks" "Perhaps you will cry" "But remember in the end" "You must still go forward without stopping"
