"You haven't killed before?" "They're my friends!" "Why can't you understand?" "Friends?" "Then what am I?" "You want to hit me?" "Don't think I won't!" "Brothers shouIdn't be fighting!" "Away!" "Hu's your brother, not your dog!" "Do you know what will happen if we don't do this?" "What if Boss Hong asked you to kill me?" "!" "I never expected things to go this far." "I've done things I never knew I would ever do." "But not this!" "It's because of the girl, isn't it?" "It's always about a girl." "Fung, Hu is my brother." "I've always treated you Iike a real brother." "If you walk out that door, we will no Ionger be brothers but enemies!" "Hurry up!" "Time's running out!" "Fung!" "What's going on?"

"I'II bring some clean clothes for you tomorrow but they're a bit worn out." "That's fine." "Su Zhen's been here to take care of me." "Fung, Su Zhen's a good girl." "It's leaking again." "I'II go check." "It always leaks in this spot!" "Can't sleep?" "It's too quiet here." "I'm not used to it." "I've been in Shanghai for so long." "I've forgotten this kind of Iife." "I remember in my village," "I lived beside this old lady." "She would wait for her husband to come home, bringing a bag of sticky rice." "The simple joy in their faces." "That image," "I'II never forget." "Things have come full circle." "Life can be simple." "Can we stay here?" "Let's buy some sticky rice." "Miss, sticky rice" "Fung." "Ma." "You're up." "How much?" "One Cent for six." "careful." "The weather here is better than Shanghai." "You should just live here." "lulu!" "You're going to be okay!" "Soon we can live the life you want." "You know..." "Meeting you at the Paradise was the best thing that ever happened to me." "Paradise club's new star" "Tsiao Hong Ying!" "Brother Kang, the men are all ready!" "The Paradise is now closed." "Mark, come out!" "Are you scared?" "This is what you call a killer." "Fung." "We could have had all this!" "AII this?" "What's "all this"?" "For all this, you killed your own brother!" "And lulu!" "No, you did!" "When you decided to go against me, you killed them!" "Hu's dead." "We..." "You brought us here!" "Is this what you call paradise?" "I'm sorry." "Mark!" "Don't!" "Kang!" "He killed lulu!" "Enough!" "No more killing!" "This is my fate." "We were searching for paradise..." "Now I wonder, does it really exist?" "This doesn't count." "You can't go!" "One more!" "One more!" "We agreed, just once." "Right, Fung?" "You two go." "I'm not going." "Fung, we are going, is this how you see us off?" "Don't go, Hu." "Brother, Fung said he didn't want to go." "I was just joking." "Whatever it is, the three of us will do it together." "How can we leave anyone behind?" "Let's go!" "(Paradise club)"
