"Her father used to work... in an ammunition factory in Shenyang." "Her mother lost the job for almost a year, stuck at home without employment." "She ended up working in a night club... behind her husband's back." "One day, her father came home... with a pack of explosives tied around his waist." "You know what happened?" "He blew up the house... and left a big hole in the floor." "Oh, it's horrible!" "Leaving tomorrow?" "Yes." "For Hong Kong?" "You still consider me a mainlander?" "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing." "I don't think about anything." "I wish you could calm down one day." "It's really sad..." "I only recently realized that every day we are not together... is simply wasted." "I don't have any problem with my days." "It's not fair to say this to me." "I know that he is your boss, but you don't always have to obey him." "My boss?" "What are you talking about?" "Let's go." "You're not leaving?" "I will go first." "Let's go..." "Hey!" "What the hell are you doing?" "I can't be without you!" "Can you stay here?" "Stop talking nonsense!" "Everybody can survive without everybody." "You said it yourself." "Did I say that?" "Go away!" "Hey!" "Are we not seeing each other anymore?" "MEN SUFFER MOST" "Yes... arrived two days ago." "I have called several times." "Nobody was at home." "Don't worry..." "I will call her again." "All right." "I AM FROM ANHUI PROVINCE." "Welcome!" "Dinner or banquet?" "Lee family banquet." "Quick!" "The police is already downstairs." "Hey, just wait a while in your room." "The check will be over soon." "Hey!" "Go that way!" "Upstairs!" "Move!" "Come in!" "Have a seat!" "What are you looking for?" "Perversions, SM, rape, child porn?" "Nothing special." "Normal stuff will do." "Just pretty girls?" "Take your pick!" "Not these, normal stuff will do." "Let me find something for you then." "May I ask your name?" "Lee." "Mr. Lee, how about this one: original product," "HK$550, you can come back for exchange." "Maybe I'll take a look elsewhere first." "I'll be back." "Sit down!" "What's the problem?" "I didn't expect it would be this much." "I need to go get some cash." "Would you pay the deposit first?" "I'd rather come back later." "Sit down!" "Let's talk..." "What's your problem?" "I really don't have enough money on me." "Price is the problem, right?" "I'll give you a cheaper one, HK$350." "After you watch it, you can come back for exchange." "Any problems?" "Are you playing games with me?" "What the hell are you fooling around for?" "Don't you know what you want?" "What are you reading?" ""One Hundred Whys"..." "Lend it to me when you're done!" "What's that?" "Bestiality." "HK$6.20, thank you." "Which country?" "Germany." "German quality should be pretty good." "I am just saying the dog is from Germany." "As for the girl, I am not sure." "Have you eaten yet?" "If someone doesn't have anything to do after the meals, what's the best way to spend his time?" "When you've been on your feet all day long, it's best to take a nap." "What if you can't sleep anymore?" "Eat again!" "Tonight at the convenience store, I ran into a girl." "Nice and innocent looking." "She was shoplifting..." "I wasn't going to tell you about it anyway." "Was the girl pretty?" "Didn't I say?" "!" "She was innocent looking." "Did you try to take advantage of her?" "Why do you have to ask this?" "Still not going to bed?" "I'll listen to this radio show." "It's funny." "Don't you think those people... speak too polite?" "Last week, there was an extra-funny one." "A guy was introduced to this soft-spoken nurse." "Her first question was what did he do for living." "What a wreck!" "That stupid guy answered... he was a construction worker." "The nurse responded "Oh!"..." "If it were not so hard to get through, I'd call and tell her:" ""Miss, I sell porno videos, what about you?"" "Go downstairs!" "Hey!" "Hurry up!" "Boss, is it Miss North you want?" "Yeah." "What's your name?" "Yan Ying..." "Yan as in "God of Death"." "Where are you from?" "Shenzhen." "Shenzhen... and before that?" "Before that, I stayed at home." "Which city?" "Wuhan." "Oh, 1911 revolution." "That was in Wuchang." "It started in Wuchang, understand?" "Why aren't you taking your clothes off?" "I'll take a shower first." "For that, you'll have to undress, too." "No hurry, let's chat for a while." "What's up with you, chat about what?" "!" "What's there to chat about?" "How did you get here?" "How did you get to leave your hometown for Hong Kong?" "Well, I didn't hijack an Air China flight to get here." "I have a gift for you." "I wanted to know you since I saw you at the convenience store." "Know me for what?" "No particular reason." "Then why didn't you get to know me earlier," "Leaving me alone in this damned city." "Don't move!" "If you want sex, just take off your pants and jump in the bed." "What's all this?" "!" "You don't want it?" "I'm leaving." "Scum!" "When are you gonna have some time?" "I am usually busy from 5pm to 7am." "I want to have a dinner with you." "Zhang Yue came back from his military service." "When I met him at the station, he said:" ""Theresa Deng died today."" "He stayed in Shenzhen for 3 days." "We didn't go out together." "He was busy buying Theresa Deng's cassettes." "Before he left, he traded his army electric heater... for a few posters from my neighbor." "Is the elevator broken?" "I've been waiting forever!" "If you don't want to wait, use the back stairs..." "Can I use your phone?" "It's around Mong Kok, right?" "OK..." "Hua Fung Emporium, right?" "Great, thank you!" "Hey, what's this Emporium?" "You don't know?" "!" "Have you seen the shampoo TV spot with Andy Lau?" "No." "Chinese products for black hair..." "Have some tea!" "Thank you, auntie!" "How's your mother?" "Still the same." "How have you been for the past two years?" "It's been 3 years since Zhang Yue passed away..." "Any boyfriend?" "I am planning to take a trip back home at the end of the year... to fix up his grave." "My mother asked me to bring something over for you." "A recommendation letter from the institute." "She said you could have moved, so she didn't want to send it through the mail." "These don't have much value anymore." "I've been taking the commonwealth test for two years, but I couldn't pass English." "Try again." "Miss!" "New product, come and give it a try!" "Good for back pain, ostheoarthritis..." "What's that?" "Egg Custard Pastry." "Are they good?" "They're OK." "People in Hong Kong especially like them." "Night is for sleeping, day is for work." "Standing in a line to eat, how tiring!" "It isn't necessary for the bakery to go bankrupt." "The bakery has stated clearly that it will remain in business." "People don't have to rush to the bakery." "Auntie!" "Rest a while, the dinner will be ready soon." "Why did you buy so many cakes?" "Is it anybody's birthday?" "Auntie, look, you're on TV!" "Still reading One Hundred Whys?" "That's finished." "This is One Thousand Whys." "Then, lend me the One Hundred Whys." "Hey, any new cool tapes recently?" "Ah!" "Bestiality is not new and cool anymore?" "!" "How about the King of Fists?" "King of Fists?" "Anal fist fucking." "With plastic gloves, very hygienic." "Does it have black actors?" "I don't like the Blacks." "I didn't notice if they were black." "I'll bring you a copy next time." "For you... new packaging." "Is this what you give to girls?" "I usually give flowers." "You're the first one to get Tampax." "Anything you particularly want to eat?" "No, what about you?" "Let's eat where you usually have lunch." "I eat at home." "Then, let's go and eat at your home." "This way..." "Do we need to get some food first?" "We'll be fine." "Someone will do the cooking at home." "Do you have any seniors at home?" "No, I live with a friend." "She is a bit older than me." "Let's get some fruits then." "I'll choose." "Take your pick!" "Top ten stars:" "Bruce Lee... $1 for the specials, $2 for the oldies, buy 10 get 1 for free." "Who are they?" "Bai Yan and Wu Chu Fan." "No!" "What?" "I can't for the next few days." "Have you forgotten?" "You haven't pulled it out?" "Of course not." "Forget about it!" "Let's play a game!" "What kind of game?" "Close your eyes, please." "Close your eyes..." "Concentrate!" "Imagine your kind of perfect woman." "When you're ready, point with your fingers." "I am going to name her body parts." "Let's start!" "First, her eyes." "Silly!" "Come on, let's start!" "First, her eyes." "Her nose..." "Her mouth..." "Her shoulders, her gentle shoulders..." "Then, her breasts..." "Now, her that-very-part." "The sheets are dirty, should we change them?" "Don't bother." "Would you like to go out and have some fun?" "Can you see it?" "Do they all live there?" "They do." "Can they go out sometimes?" "No, they can't." "Anyway, after the reunification, I haven't seen... a single Liberation Army soldier in the street." "It's always been a disappointment to me." "What a solitude!" "I hope one day I'll find out... where they come out of this building." "Then, I'll move all my videotapes over there, put a table, set up my stall." "Licence to kill for business." "One by one." "The trade would go well." "Yeah, for sure it would go well." "LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, LOVE HONG KONG." "When did you come back?" "This morning." "A bit earlier than scheduled." "Why didn't you page me?" "Just wanted to make a surprise." "You haven't been wasting these two days." "Everything reeks of her cheap perfume." "Are you really angry at me, or just pretending?" "You're the one good at pretending!" "18 dollars." "I've got some change." "Thank you." "What's new?" "The one I promised you last time, the King of Fists." "Excuse me, do you have Aladdin here?" "No, we don't." "It's on sale everywhere now!" "What's that?" "He wants Aladdin, the cartoon." "Ah!" "Aladdin!" "Is this the one you want?" "Aladdin and the Mechanical Beetles Combat." "Is this the only Aladdin you have here?" "Yes..." "My surname is Lee." "OK, thanks." "Hello, Ah Chun?" "We've got Anne here." "Hello, Ah Chun?" "Hi, Anne!" "Do you mind letting me know your occupation?" "I am a lift maintenance technician." "Oh..." "Anne, you're 5'2" tall," "And your weight is 130lb, isn't it?" "A bit too fat, right?" "No, not at all." "I am 5'4", 180lb." "4 inches taller than you." "No, It's 2 inches!" "You must have a big tummy." "Yeah, as round as a soccer ball!" "Anne, I am an immigrant from Hainan Province." "My Cantonese is not that good." "It's OK." "Do you have any bad habits?" "I don't smoke, drink or gamble." "Maybe something you won't really appreciate." "I was tattooed a few years ago." "Do you mean you're not tattooed now?" "Of course, I am!" "Once tattooed, you'll be tattooed for good." "But my tattoo is really cute." "I've tattooed the world map on my belly." "I... forget it..." "you know..." "I am a teacher." "I know, I know." "But my tattoo is really particular." "Imagine a world map on a round belly." "You can use it as a globe for the geography class." "As a matter of fact," "I am not a real man anymore." "Ehm?" "The doctor said that I am now impotent." "Oh!" "We can still have our platonic love." "What are you laughing at?" "Do you think you look like Bai Yan?" "At high school, my literature teacher once spent... a whole lesson analyzing Bai Yan's face." "He said if you could precisely measure the positions... of her eyes, ears, nose and mouth, you would find out what a perfect face is." "A face of an ideal wife, as he concluded." "You really don't think you look like Bai Yan?" "Look, you've got the same forehead..." "Spring Garden..." "Not here yet..." "Spring Garden..." "Not here yet..." "Hi there." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Northern girls are rare these days." "How about a Malay girl?" "They are really good!" "Ah Sing, clean up room number 2." "Remember that Ah Ming?" "A real motherfucker!" "He kept asking me for a toothbrush... and toothpaste after fucking the Hunan girl." "Next time, I'll prescribe him some mint candies." "What a dumb ass!" "Can he stop fucking with his tongue?" "!" "I help out here every Sunday afternoon." "Ah Yan used to come here often." "She used to be a social dance teacher here." "She was an award-winner in the Mainland China." "Did you meet each other here?" "Yes, I stepped on her foot over there." "It was almost like with any ordinary couple." "Absolutely banal." "You bitch!" "Nowhere else to fuck around?" "!" "Zhang Yue died today." "Maybe it was yesterday." "His mother called me today." "She said he was dead." "Executed." "He's been involved in a robbery." "For less than 2000 yuan." "Hello..." "No, he is sleeping." "No, it's impossible to wake him up." "No, there's no way." "She is coming!" "What time is it?" "3am." "Come in." "Shut the door." "Get some sleep." "Have some breakfast after you've washed up." "Do you need a tooth brush?" "Take the red one." "Go ahead, have some breakfast." "When was this picture taken?" "How old is the boy now?" "Do you know how I met Ah Jian?" "Did he mention about my leg to you before?" "It's quite visible, isn't it?" "My foot was amputated after a traffic accident." "Everything is fake beyond the ankle." "The boy was killed in that accident." "It was a hot day." "We took a walk from the beach to the road." "The melting asphalt was burning our feet." "Half-naked, he was running, jumping, laughing..." "So careless!" "I was getting dizzy with the heat." "I had a blackout for a second." "As if the sun were about to vaporize everything." "Including his laughter." "When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was his back," "a mess of white sand and red blood." "Now you can figure out how we met each other." "It was a banal story." "Ah Jian was the car driver, and I am the mother of the kid." "We all live for the sake of the others." "The happiness of the others is our own happiness." "These are all soothing lies, aren't they?" "I am 18 today." "I've joined the army." "They are sending me... to the Special Garrison in Hong Kong." "Needless to say, I am very happy." "The soldiers must have all kinds of expertise, must learn English and Cantonese." "Hello Hong Kong!" "I am Chinese." "Where are you heading?" "I am going to Hong Kong." "I'll be going." "Any news from her?" "She's not in trouble again, I hope..." "I know what you want to ask..." "You want to know if I care about all the men... who got to climb on top of her, right?" "Let me tell you then, I don't care." "Do you mind sharing a dining table with others?" "Hey, I'm talking to you!" "How do you write "wet"?" "What a lousy TV soap!" "It never ends." "It's been playing for 4 years already." "They'll soon be celebrating the 2000th episode." "Are you leaving next week?" "Yes." "Have you been to the Ocean Park... and the Jumbo Floating Restaurant?" "Let's go there tomorrow." "Can you see?" "Yes." "They're all 180cm tall." "Cream of the Liberation Army." "What a gloomy life here!" "They are all alone." "Quick!" "The police is downstairs." "Relax, man, you're a customer." "No problem, as long as you've got your ID." "Just wait inside a little bit." "Can I wait here?" "As you like." "Hey, man, you can come in." "This beef brisket soup is famous in the neighborhood." "Nothing special..." "I am not saying the food is famous." "It's the owner." "Or, I should really say, the former owner." "He is dead by now." "He was found dead in the toilet." "It wouldn't have been a big deal... for a man of his age to drop dead in the toilet." "But the thing is, he was killed by the fan." "Think about this, a guy sitting comfortably... in the toilet with his newspaper." "And the fan fell on his head and killed him." "After investigation, the judge came up with a verdict "death by ill fate"." "I don't understand this bureaucratic language." ""Death by ill fate"!" "They could say "accidental death", "death by causes beyond control", that would sound reasonable." "But "death by ill fate", it seems inhuman!" "One can say accident, murder, suicide, it would make some sense." "What is "death by ill fate"?" "It must be offensive to the victim." "If you say "death by ill fate", does it mean there are also people who die by good fate, die by blessing?" "What is being blessed anyway?" "Where does it come from?" "It's all just a lie..." "Wait, what's all this gibberish you keep talking?" "What else can we talk about at the table?" "I wasn't gonna talk to you about all this anyway." "What have I been saying?" "I was just talking about my uncle." "A "Slurpy"..." "HK$5." "And a lighter." "What?" "A red one." "HK$8.50." "Teresa Deng has been dead for so long already." "What's there to listen to?" "!" "Don't try to put it on!" "Go back!" "You don't even know what you want." "Can you see it?" "It's all fake beyond the ankle." "Do you know how it happened?" "It was in there." "I was in a hurry going upstairs." "The door opened, and I stepped inside." "I fell down to the very bottom." "It was so painful that I passed out." "When I came back to senses," "I realized that the elevator wasn't at the right floor." "I landed on my toes first, then my butt." "The hip is OK, but the foot is gone." "Horrifying?" "It's been 4 years since." "Fortunately, my boss has let me stay." "Feeling guilty?" "Never mind." "From now on, just pay more attention to work." "Think more about other people's happiness." "Zhang Yue's mum is going to Hong Kong." "She's left me a letter." "Zhang Yue had written it before his death." "He was planning to come to Shenzhen to see me, wanted to stay with me for a while." "That's why he was involved in the robbery and killed that guy." "I heard that the execution didn't turn out well." "The executioner wasn't too good at shooting." "The bullet made a big hole in his forehead." "Don't panic, this is a scheduled blackout." "Our back-up generator will soon take over." "We ask everybody to be patient."
