"Some say the ocean never used to exist in our world" "it was formed by the wandering tears from people's sorrows" "I just had a dream you are awake?" "I was about to drown it was not a dream you came very close you cut somebody off the surfer was about to complain but then you got sucked under the wave why did you try to kill yourself, cousin?" "I didn't, I was just..." "Women, right?" "Just find someone else!" "Nowadays it's common for women to cheat too when it happens we just wave goodbye why do you need to kill yourself?" "I warned you about carman thin lips you know you can never trust a woman with thin lips?" "You have me and your buddies everybody came to visit you these past two days we even wrote you a greeting card what do we need in life?" "Friends who understand and love you, right?" "You cannot blame us who could have guessed that you would try to kill yourself right before your birthday?" "Where are we supposed to get a card for that?" " Hi!" " He is awake" " hi!" " You are awake!" " How are you?" " I am glad you are okay, bro and for the time being don't go surfing again you might get emotional why don't you lend me your surfboard what's wrong with you?" "Sean, drink some soup my mom says gingseng soup is good for your recovery" "I tried several pharmacies but couldn't find the best" " drink it - no, I don't have any appetite" "how can you be like this?" "Just have some!" "Forget it, don't mind him it's up to you if you don't want to drink it hey bro!" "See how much we care about you?" "Don't mind him not every woman ls as bitchy as carman, okay?" " Exactly!" " Like Lulu she has been by your side the whole time!" "Beautiful!" "How about that, bro?" "I have decided to organize a 5-star party to cheer you up you can have as many women as you like as crazy as you fancy" " ouch!" " Crazy?" "How so?" "It's for him!" "Oh, wait you look happy!"

"He is already here, right upstairs" "master" "whose board is this?" "Andrew's it's too narrow!" "But master, according to the quotation, it says 12 3/4 we've seen him surf before he uses his right foot more its volume needs to increase or it won't go forward" "how are you?"

"Nail clipper monster got it?" "Why is it so difficult to accept the existence of nail clipper monsters?" "There are so many different species in the world!" "Nail clipper monsters are just like the mermaid, bigfoot, or werewolf no one believes we are real but compared to those creatures we are the closest to human form we just eat differently, and are practically harmless besides, it's humans who use our food as nail clippers!" "It's heartbreaking" ""a week ago"" "is departing cruel?" "Or is gentleness despicable?" "Doesn't matter to loners, no day, no night, no desire a step forward is dusk, a step backward is life" "fierce winds, raging waves, the unbalanced heart has nowhere to run hardly has one wave subsided when another rises stormy weather in the ocean one wave has not caught up, another one has gone life has just awaken" "the deeper the pacific ocean, the deeper the heartache" "I used to think love is like surfing on pipeline it is astonishing but now I think maybe the shore suits me better living alone peacefully" "hey!" "Ls Gavin here?" "What's up?" "I got your board sweet" "please sign here thank you it looks great, I love it!" "I'm glad you like it thank you" "hi" " hi - hey hi!" "He)' what brings you here?" "You work here?" "Yes, isn't it cool?" "Cool you..." "That other day, why did you..." "Lick me?" "You never explained" "we were playing games that night and I drank a bit too much, so I..." "To be honest, these past two days..." "My face has been itchy, i wonder if your saliva is..." "Hahaulu." "Actually..." "I ..." "Regretittoo" "I've never seen a guy who drinks like you with alcohol all over your face" "I..." "Almost got drunk just from licking it a new boyfriend?" "No no, I've just licked him that's too much information" "where are you going?" "I'm heading west same here, let's go" " you're a boardmaker?" " Yeah then you must be great at surfing, right?" "Let's not discuss that boardmaking and surfing are not necessarily related just like you being a tattoo artist, you don't tattoo yourself, right?" "I tattooed myself no way, that's impossible your tattoo is all the way up here!" "What I have learnt is not typical tattooing" "I spent a year and a half studying with the java tribe so that I can tattoo myself" " java?" " Yes they have one tradition when you turn 18 one has to tattoo themselves with a pattern of their choice the more complicated the pattern the braver you are" "I was the only girl who did it so I'm the bravest impressive so you've always wanted to be a tattoo artist?" "Not really when I was studying art in Paris" "I always sketch by the riverside in seine you have many interests right, that night..." "The girl who was with me she is my cousin whenever we are high we tend to come up with silly games" "did we scare you?" "So who was the winner?" "I don't remember, we were so drunk that night" " you forgot?" " Yeah then how can you recognize me?" "Of course I can when I licked you, i noticed that the taste was especially weird didn't you say it's alcohol?" "Apart from the alcohol, it's salty and..." "Actually..." "I had just been discharged from the hospital" "I..." "L almost drowned nope, I know exactly what sea water tastes like but..." "That salty taste..." "It's from tears it's the taste of tears, right?" "You probably cried over someone or somebody made you cry" "you're crazy" "before nail clippers became popular tools we had to move around like nomads living by iron ore mines once the mines were discovered, we had to leave during the gold rush nail clipper monsters around the world received notices to gather in California" "lots of monsters smuggled in that's why there are so many Chinese people living there they all descended from the monsters" "stop..." "Stop..." "I've never noticed this wall before what are you doing?" "There's an empty spot here no..." "No..." "What if the cops come?" "We might get caught..." "You think we are on TV?" "When was the last time you saw the cops?" " Tell me!" " True..." "No..." "No..." "You can't just rule out their apperarance hmm" "come try it, it is fun" "draw the pig tail like this, in circles, yeah hey!" "Stop!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Let's go!" "Hurry, hurry!" "Gosh, this is Murphy's law, am I right?" "What?" "Never think negatively bad things happen when you think negatively you said the cops will come when was the last time you saw cops in Hawaii?" "All of a sudden, here they are if that isn't Murphy's law, then I don't know what is" "I don't care, you have to pay for my spray paint how?" "You want to lick this side too?" "Don't be a bastard be serious you think about it" "what?" "This is how I'm paying you back" "I don't eat after 6pm why?" "I'm on a diet on a diet?" "But you are so skinny already do you know how Napoleon died?" "Napoleon was actually a nail clipper monster nobody knew about it, except for his personal servant when Napoleon was defeated, he was exiled to an island the British sent a Navy troop and 5,000 soldiers to monitor him his servant used everything he could find to cook him nail clippers" "when his servant died, Napoleon starved to death you see?" "This patch of fat why are girls so obsessed with losing weight?" "Being fat is subjective if you think you are fat, then you are fat if you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain okay, suit yourself, I am going to eat right..." "That's right you said you learnt tattooing in java yeah and then..." "Studied art in Paris my mom is French-Chinese and your dad?" "My grandfather was a noble in Korea he escaped to France during the war and gave birth to my dad" "I'm telling you, I'm a quarter Korean you don't look it!" "Hmm maybe..." "Because I never had plastic surgery" "let's go this is how you can pay me back" "I can't dance because your cerebrum and muscle don't coordinate well" " this is a good practice - how is that relevant?" "Aren't you going to pay me back?" "Relax, dancing is like surfing in between music notes" "I was about to live a quiet life when this girl passes by like a hurricane and stirs up a huge tidal wave she made me believe in love again" "oh!" "I am so sorry are you okay?" "It's okay" "I am sorry" "give me a minute my cousin might have left some clothes here" "clothes the bathroom is..." "Over here" "don't overthink what did you say?" "I said don't overthink it" "I'm only here to change my shirt" "I'm not that type of girl miss, I think you're the one overthinking it" "I'm not the type of guy to let a girl strip at my home on the first day we meet either first of all this is not the first day we met second" "I'm changing my clothes, not stripping" "boys are perverts" "I came here to change and now you want me to strip you only have dirty thoughts" "what are you doing here?" "What is she doing here?" " What's the matter with you?" " Why are you pushing me?" "What are you up to?" "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" "When was the last time you brought her home?" "How long have you known her?" "My..." "My relationship with her is not what you think, okay?" "And why did you sneak into my house?" "I was worried about you, so I thought I should come to cheer you up a bit okay." "I didn't..." "Sneak in then why do you have my home key?" "You have forgotten you gave it to me last time when you were installing the cable" "okay, what about the banana what is it for?" "Bana..." "Banana..." "I wanted to cheer you up do you..." "Do you remember..." "Whenever you got upset" "I would split a banana with you and you would crack a smile" "Lulu" "I was seven then, just seven people say what you like in your childhood becomes your interest" "Lulu" "I really enjoy being with you but what happened back then..." "It's been too long, I can't remember yes!" "I said I would marry you but..." "L was too young" "I didn't know what marriage is" "I even said I would become a world class surfer when I grow up well, look at me now but that doesn't explain it!" "Who is she?" "She is short and childish and has no curves even carman is better than her you'd rather torture yourself than be with me?" "What are you talking about?" "I am leaving" "I will return the clothes next time" "put the keys on the table when you leave" "hey do you know why nail clipper monsters don't live together?" "It's because when the scientists discovered our existence they set up area 51 in the us to study extra-terrestrial life they wanted to extract our digestive enzymes those of us who were captured didn't made it back alive that's why we don't live together" "and don't dare get close to a human being in case they're one of us" "hi" "sir, here for a tattoo?" "We have launched a discount promotion let me pick one for you" "I think this suits you well" "I'm sorry, I..." " What for?" "Are you going for the turtle?" "If so, I can do it for free if not, I'm going home hey!" "Hey what!" "Humans can talk to turtles, but turtles can't talk back" "hey!" "Let me explain you don't have to doesn't matter to me who was in your house no, Lulu is a good friend of my cousin we grew up together really?" "It didn't look that way no, I cannot control what she does" " but I hope that you..." " Wait no!" "Why do you care how I feel?" "Who am I to you?" "Right, you are not mine." "But..." "I'm hoping you can be my someone" "who..." "Who wants to be yours?" "Hey hey 'hey what do you think?" "Wait..." "L must tell you" "I have never gone out..." "With an old man like you you have to get along with me" "I'm old?" "Yes, you pedophile you are attracted to young girls like me you are an uncle, old uncle uncle" " old uncle - okay, I'm an uncle but..." "You get wrinkles on your eyes when you smile you dare say you're young what about you?" "Also if I..." "L..." "I go outwith you will your friends think I'm not mature enough?" "Hey, why didn't we ask Lulu to come?" "You didn't know?" "They had a fight last week she will not come today why?" "You will find out soon hey, cousin your life is like a roller coaster you just committed suicide for your ex and now you are in a new relationship" "young girls these days they're fine to play with but don't take them seriously smart guys choose sophisticated women thanks" "what are you doing, why are you dressed like this?" "It's my first time hanging outwith an uncle" "I want to look mature hi my Chinese name is lin leshi and my English name is Emily he is my good friend, Matt hi" "I am a mature woman oh" "this is Daisy" " hi" " Daisy this is my cousin fion" "cousin just ca" me hon don't worry, I will take good care of you" "I am fine no worries let's..." "Not just stand here" " let's bowl, okay?" " Let's bowl!" "Nice, nice haven't you heard?" "The Hawaii theatre is haunted really?" "I have a friend who's a security guard there" "I can bring you guys there sure, sure how's that?" "Let's go maybe not this is very childish and we are all grown-ups let's play" "you go straight and strike from the back you..." "Broke your nail" " do you guys have a nail clipper?" " I do, I have one come bro, let's bowl" "do..." "You normally bring that many nail clippers with you?" "I carry some stock for my friends" "okay, move to your left" " are we there yet?" " Not yet, not yet more to the right what is in your bag?" "Why is it so heavy?" "I am a girl, I bring my cosmetics okay, stop." "What now?" "Didn't they say this place is haunted?" "Let's find out let's go, we should leave why, are you scared?" "Right, I am scared to death in or not?" "Hello, sweetheart" " hi - come on in" " hi - hi" "what are we waiting for?" "Ghost, just..." "The old man by the door told me there are ghosts on the lower level and they come out around this time it happens every day" "ex. .." "Excited?" "My heart is pounding how excited?" "The world has ghosts okay." "But even if that's true do we have to come?" "Who said I wanted to see them?" "And who said they wanted to be seen?" "Actually..." "I was here before..." "And saw things I should not have seen you..." "Have seen ghosts before, right?" "Even scarier" "I regret pushing open that door if I did not chase after them perhaps we could have stayed together" "to me, the movie "young detective Dee"" "ended when the monster approaches no wonder..." "You didn't want to come right where did you sit?" "Somewhere..." "Around here" "what?" "Ghost excuse me" "who are you?" "How did you get in here?" "I'm with the engineering department we're working on the projector how did you get in here?" "A key freaked me out" "you're the one who wanted to come and this freaks you out?" "Alright, roll it" "images projected on the curtains look beautiful yes it's a rare sight" "hey, can't sleep?" "Right, I have insomnia sometimes this is the 1965 Ford Shelby cobra, right?" "You know about cars?" "I have seen them on magazines there aren't that many left in the world" "are you..." "A rich second-generation?" "No I am not when I was three my dad found this car at a second hand garage it costed only $1000 back then when we bought it the engine did not work the door was missing it was a complete mess inside" "my dad spent almost everyday at the garage repairing it he hoped..." "He could get it fixed one day and take the family out to lanai lookout to drink beer and watch the sunset" "he spent all his time and money on this car" "then?" "And then..." "And then..." "My parents divorced but dad continued fixing the car during my junior year at college he called me one day, saying the car is fixed, let's go out but I was in kauai with my friends" "when I came home..." "He got sick the doctor said it was liver failure it was strange because..." "He was actually sick the whole time but he endured the pain for two years" "perhaps dreams strengthen people's willpower" "hey let's go back to sleep we still have work tomorrow just close your eyes and rest, how's that?" "Alright." "It was a long day really exhausting" "I am sorry, my bad" "I promise, no next time sure." "Okay go away!" "Are you done?" "Yes" "uncle, old uncle come to bed!" "Otherwise you are not going to sleep hey, is this yours?" "What?" "Hey!" "We should stop seeing each other" "nail clipper monsters are bound to three major rules:" "Be less sociable, less outgoing and less adventorous in short, never cross the line if we nail clipper monsters get caught death will be the only result but for me, this is too difficult bye bye" "hey hey,hey" "we cannot be together anymore why not?" "Just don't look for me anymore" "I just want to know why" "I've never come across such a situation" "I have become too relaxed since dating you let me tell you a secret..." "I am a nail clipper monster nail clipper monster what?" "Beings who survive by eating nail clippers you know vampires?" "They survive by drinking blood, right?" "Umm..." "Same with nail clipper monsters they survive by eating nail clippers you still don't get it, do you?" "What you mean is..." "You eat..." "Nails some people like to bite their nails but I eat nail clippers" "nail..." "Clippers?" "You mean..." "You only eat nail clippers and nothing else?" "I'm taking great courage to tell you this" "when I was around 7 or 8" "I used to have a bad appetite" "I didn't know why, I just couldn't eat and I get hungry at night one night, I sneaked inside my mom's bedroom there was a full moon that night" "I stared at a nail clipper a voice whispered to me eat it" "I thought I would be sent to the hospital but I was okay that was the most fulfilling moment of my life" "I finally discovered my true self all I need are nail clippers since then whenever my mom brought me to my relatives or my schoolmates' birthday parties" "I steal their nail clippers when no one's watching and I eat them after I return home" "so..." "What do you poo?" "Same as yours how is it possible?" "You can search it online someone ate light bulbs for 40 years and he's fine my stomach can only digest nail clippers" "no one has ever caught me in the act perhaps I was too into you" "I let my guard down right even my cousin doesn't know about this" "you have been living together and she doesn't know?" "Don't you eat together?" "You know how girls skip meals to lose weight?" "That's the best way to hide it actually, I am curious how male nail clipper monsters hide their identity..." "Are you saying there are other people..." "Like you?" "Of course we are a tribe normally..." "We hide among ordinary people it's not easy to identify us" "have you ever noticed..." "You always lose your nail clippers?" "I guess so you must think that since nail clippers are small they're easy to misplace, right?" "This proves that among your relatives and your friends there are a few nail clipper monsters" "nonsense!" "Exactly!" "Right?" "Why did she say that?" "Since you two have gotten so close it is obvious there is phase for that what is it?" "Hit and run in Chinese it means hit it..." "Then run usually it's the guy who does it very rarely the girl gosh!" "You filthy mind!" "Hey, just speak, don't get close stay right there, stay right there" "hi, sexy" "love you guys." "Be careful what are you doing?" "Don't you think if you are too close to me, they might mistaken you as the real life guard right if you want to find out if she is a..." " Nail clipper monster - right..." "If she is a nail clipper monster very simple the only way is to witness it" "hi" "my cousin told you my address right?" "She worries about you" "you've thought it over?" "L..." "If not, then why are you here?" "It's..." "Not that I don't believe you but..." "This is beyond comprehension who survives by eating metals?" "I told you I only eat nail clippers and not other metals" " that is even weirder - why?" "Let me ask you, do you love me?" "I do!" "Prove it how to prove..." "L just do look, you are trying to explain something unprovable too those are two different things, okay?" "It's not that I don't believe you it's just that I can't wrap my head around the idea" "hey" " what for?" " To pay you back" "what's the meaning of this?" "When I was delivering a surfboard a few days ago, I passed by a store that sells nail clippers, I thought..." "This looked very Hawaiian so I bought one for you..." "To taste" "I only eat nail clippers when I am hungry" "I don't eat to perform like a circus monkey no, I..." "L didn't mean that you clearly did you bought this so you can watch me eat you are doubting me and you want proof if we are dating" "I cannot keep proving myself to you all the time same if you come home late and I ask you to prove that you're not dating other girls" "I don't think we have trust in our relationship it is meaningless please go" "I don't know why" "I couldn't argue with her about that perhaps she is right it is my fault" "I did not give you enough trust" "I will not talk about this anymore, sorry then don't buy this kind of nail clippers anymore the pattern looks awful besides I cannot digest it" "I will throw up which..." "Ones do you like best?" "I love those big muji nail clippers clean on the outside and the portion is just right just like eating big piece of Sushi" "I used to love it so much but I cannot find it here in Hawaii if I see it next time" "I will buy a bunch for you" "what, shit!" "How did she get pass that?" "Did she put a spell on you?" "L..." "L know it is hard to believe" "I shouldn't have brought her the nail clipper it means that I don't trust her wait" "I want to rewind pause, fast forward" "pause why does she have a fridge?" "If she is a real nail clipper monster why does she have a fridge in her house?" "Exactly it must be her landlord's it makes sense, right?" "Besides..." "Even if she only eats nail clippers maybe they taste better chilled..." "I got it, bro next time you visit her check out her fridge if she is a real nail clipper monster her fridge shouldn't have other food, right?" "Can you explain this?" "Sorry it's my fault" "I broke up with Jordan long time ago but he still bothers me" "the food inside belongs to him don't worry, I will make it clear to you are you free tonight?" "You want to break up with me?" "Are you serious?" "Are you trying to break up with me right now?" "Are you okay?" "Thank you" "I am okay, it was my fault" "I'm thinking clearly now after that splash it's right of me to break up with him" "come on, let's walk back" "do you know whom I hate the most?" "That guy?" "Laden, bin laden ever since 911 nail clippers are not allowed on planes so I am afraid to take long haul flights because I will be starving sometimes flight attendents bring me food" "but I'd throw up when I see the tray but it's okay because I only need 4 to 5 nail clippers a day" "I want to ask you a question is "nail clipper monster" a general term?" "Hello?" "Is "nail clipper monster" a general term?" "Nope, I named it myself because "nail clipper monster" sounds cool" "but..." "The word "monster"" "if someone else called you that, then I'd understand..." "But why would you use such a term for yourself?" "Seems strange..." "What are you looking at?" "Strange, let me tell you this used to be a very hip nightclub" "I've been here with my friends but why is it closed?" "Let's go" "ever since I told you my secret" "I feel so relaxed" "I cannot explain in words" "I don't have to hide it anymore" "you see there should be other nail clipper monsters from around the world" "I should encourage them to do as I did and bravely come out" "but how would you do it?" "I think I should rent that nightclub and name it nail clipper restaurant no marvelous nail clipper restaurant we would provide a public space for them to eat nail clippers" "I used to envy little kids who can have their birthday parties at McDonald's so I always fantasized if there is a nail clipper restaurant" "I can throw my birthday party there" "sounds like a good idea you think so?" "Let's forget it it's not easy opening a restaurant" "going out with Emily makes me think through one thing to question the existence of nail clipper monsters" "is to question whether "wind" exists you can never touch or see wind" "but whenever I go surfing" "I know it exists like Emily's love for me" "ls Andrew liking his new board?" "I see him surfing with it, so it should be okay master, is this the board you made this morning?" "Actually..." "Since you are so skillful you can get it done quickly right?" "As shapers we shape each board uniquely to suit its owners so we have to listen and think during the process to figure out what kind of board he wants a lot of people don't know what they want so they make strange requests" "next time when you shape a board pause for a moment and close your eyes imagine yourself surfing what it's like standing on a board your purpose of board shaping ls to help clients see the fun in what you do" "shaping boards is not hard labour we should enjoy the process" "nail clipper monsters have experienced too much pain so we Cherish our loved ones no matter how much we have to sacriface we must protect them that includes our offsprings" "since we're destined to be forever on the run marrying our own species means giving birth to another "nail clipper monster"" "they will then suffer from vagrant lives at a young age the same thing might happen if we marry a human being so the best way to prevent it is to always be alone" "nice car yeah" "you like it?" "Then"." "We're off to a good start" "I hope your nail clipper restaurant will be a success" "ready..." "Go whoevefls slower is a pig!" "Hardly has one wave subsided when another rises stormy weather in the ocean one wave has not caught up, another one has gone life has just awaken the deeper the pacific ocean, the deeper the heartache" "are you insane?" "Yes, you must be you scolded me whenever I touch your car and now..." "What spell did she put on you?" "I think it's quite romantic" "I wish someone would do that for me which side are you on?" "You didn't trust Emily at first and now you're rooting for her?" "It's not that I'm rooting for her..." "I'm just realizing, in all our years together..." "Have you ever done anything crazy for me?" "What's it got to do with me?" "!" "I'm just making a point, don't you understand girls?" "Don't I treat you well, my queen?" "I didn't say that..." "I am not going to argue with you that's okay, that's okay" " we really don't need this - miss lin" " that's okay - no one does that you will regret it but we..." "Welcome back Mr. chen please discuss with your girlfriend her floorplan looks very strange no kitchen and stoves?" "How do you cook?" "That's fine." "Just listen to her thank you, sir alright, it's your restaurant" "let's go ming, let's go eat you came back late" "I cannot reason with him it's okay." "This is your restaurant right, I saw the floorplan" "I think the bar tables..." "Should go here it is weird if the bar tables don't go against the wall besides, our customers can enter from both sides, right?" "But I want to keep this wall to myself and draw a huge nail clipper on it that's fine too." "You see, if the bar is here you can still do your graffiti on it the bar table fits in right below, perfect but I want to keep this space here imagine people sitting here, eating nail clippers" "when they lift their heads they'll see this huge nail clipper, wonderful" "okay, as you like it, no problem thank you you are welcome" "good, you're here." "Look, what do you think?" "I was thinking since we are new and our location is so obscure it would be difficult for other nail clipper monsters to find us so I've asked them to make this sign what do you think?" "Like it?" "No'?" "I just think god treats me too well that I got to meet you" "can you turn it on?" "You like it?" "Thanks for coming." "You guys want beer?" "Okay" "you guys are here too?" "Of course, to celebrate your opening." "We wish you great success thank you didn't we agree beforehand?" "That we skip the greetings he is your friend, come on exactly, it's because I'm his friend that I don't want to see him screw up" "don't mind him your cousin asked me to tell you she cannot come because she's helping out a friend" "they are very nice hi nice seeing you again what do you want exactly?" "What do you mean?" "Just save it" "I am not Sean you can't fool me you're obviously bullshitting what are you trying to achieve?" "Why are you doing this?" "He has been cheated on by carman if he gets hurt again he won't be able to take it" "have you read "the little prince"?" "I asked have you read "the little prince"?" "What?" "It is only with the heart that one can see the truth what is essential is invisible to the eye" " let's go - what happened?" "Daisy, let's go" "people have gotten me wrong since I was a kid" "I'm used to it my classmates said I'm autistic my friends said I don't fit in my ex-boyfriends accused me of cheating" "I can find thousands of excuses but I cannot tell them the truth, it's exhausting" "I rather remain quiet than to defend myself" "quick, someone's coming..." "I guess other nail clipper monsters are just shy it takes time" "right" "I placed an ad" "I believe other nail clipper monsters in Hawaii will see this" "hi shopping for nail clippers?" "Yeah nail clippers are great right?" "So multi-functional..." "You know, those look really good it'd be a shame not to eat them, right?" "Hey" "here to shop?" "Right, helping my girlfriend buy something you are quick guess so" "do you still hate me?" "Well..." "Not exactly besides, that's in the past" "I am just..." "Curious curious why I left you?" "Yeah there are two types of women:" "The dogs and the cats dogs are loyal and will always return, unlike cats they are only interested in themselves they don't care about you" "you are a dog person, but you find cats attractive if you don't know what you need, you'll tire yourself out" "I don't know what you are talking about" "I was worried about you at one point and I felt bad" "I should have come clean with you earlier then it wouldn't have turned out this way but how can you blame a cat?" "She was born this way, it's not her fault you're always so logical that's not it!" "I told you early on that we're not right for each other no, I..." "L thought you were joking" "I've never thought that we're not right for each other..." "I know your master asked you not to surf you never listen either" "look, I have guts to admit my true self." "What about you?" "Go find a dog, look at you, I'm leaving" "I heard that you sold your car yeah" "why?" "You know what?" "Ever since carman" "I fear that I'll turn into a pessimist not trusting people anymore" "when I realized I had a crush on Emily" "I'm afraid I'll carry the pain into this relationship so I have to pull myself together" "I..." "Don't even want to think about whether she's lying or not because to me unconditional love" "ls true love" "I'm just afraid you'll get hurt" "I am fine losing money is not a big deal it doesn't kill don't worry" "I am going back to the restaurant" "come out now" "I have told you before stubborn people are helpless" "don't waste your time on him haven't you had enough yet?" "Excuse me are you guys open?" "Do you serve coffee?" "Sorry, we don't serve coffee here okay." "Thanks!" "Sorry" "why don't we sell coffee too?" "It won't make a difference" "let's sell the restaurant to someone" "but..." "This is all your effort" "I think..." "Maybe not every nail clipper monster thinks the same maybe they prefer eating nail clippers in secret" "I do not want to lose all your money we can still get some of it back" "let's sell the restaurant" "there is nothing that can be done you don't even have a kitchen to begin with..." "God!" "This interior..." "What can I do with it?" "I have to remodel it what can I get out of this?" "The furnishing is worthless" "I am sorry when you read this letter" "I'll already be on my way to Paris sorry for not saying goodbye because I don't know how to face you" "I wonder if I were to be more cautious about my secret identity maybe things wouldn't happen this way but I cannot deny that you are the most beautiful mistake I have made it was your trust that made me understand love" "when the whole world denied me you were the only one that believed in me such an absurd nonsense thank you" "I wish I hadn't taken your money at first place fortunately someone is willing to take over here's the money I got from them" "I am sorry, please don't hate me you deserve to be with someone better" "have you seen Emily?" "Sorry, man." "I don't know where she is" "hey, I remember you" "what are you talking about?" "She told me she lived in java before that's absurd." "I watched her grow up but her parents live in Paris and she studied art in France right?" "I don't know where her parents are but I know she's been in Honolulu all her life her parents divorced when she was very little they just took off and left her with her cousin so growing up, she didn't have anybody taking care of her" "that's why she used to sneak in here to watch movies all the time" "I felt sorry for her so I always let her in" "what?" "What happened?" "You knew the wave was huge, why did you try to be a hero?" "Baby" "I am a lifeguard will people surf on a waveless day?" "Luckily there were a lot of lifeguards how did you end up drowning yourself?" "Exactly some say at the edge of dying" "you see the most important thing in your life at that moment, I realized I..." "Have been running after life this whole time how absurd you are my life goal" "I keep chasing and chasing after the basic needs of life in fact I was never short of anything" "I don't mind an ordinary life but not without you" "Daisy will you marry me?" "I've been waiting forever for that question!" "Awesome!" "Congratulations!" "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold every cloud has a silver lining congratulations!" "You two are true brothers one tries to kill himself right before his birthday the other proposes after being saved" "stop it, you have messed up my makeup ok, let's go touch up" " okay, come with me - my wife, be careful" " be careful..." " Easy on him congratulations to you two!" "Why does your speech sound familiar?" "The song "chased" by leslie cheung" "I keep chasing and chasing oh, you couldn't get away anyways" "you saw it, I had no choice" "I guess I'll lose myjob too after this incident besides approaching middle-age" "I just have to get to the root of the problem and find a companion" "Daisy is always here for me and she has a stable income instead of living like a loner" "I'd rather find a sugar mommy you're awful" "enough about me, I have something to tell you what's up?" "Since the beginning, Emily has planned to take your money for the restaurant do you know who the new owner is?" "It's her cousin Sara's boyfriend that's not possible what is he going to do with the restaurant?" "That..." "Restaurant doesn't even have a kitchen, it is impossible here's what interesting!" "Isn't there a little penthouse behind the restaurant?" "When you bought the place someone rented that penthouse at the same time and converted it into a kitchen they opened a doorway in between and adjoined the spaces do you know where she put the door?" "The place where our lovely Emily insisted to do graffiti on and wouldn't let you touch it didn't she say her grandpa came from Korea?" "Bullshit!" "My friend told me, she came from chaozhou not Korea!" "Now do you still trust her?" "You don't have to believe me now go see for yourself see if that's where the door is" "there's no point visiting the restaurant again" "I'd rather choose to believe that" "I once fell in love with a girl who eat nail clippers" "do you know why we need to surf?" "It is not for fun but to face your fears if you were hit by a wave you can choose to run away from it or you can get up and try again" "what's up with you?" "Bro, where have you been these past six months?" "If it weren't for my wedding, you'd never have come back, right?" "Exactly." "I'm kidding, congratulations forget it" "I should thank you instead, if it weren't for you" " I don't think I'd have gotten married - why?" "Because you've had too many failed relationships so I can't help thinking about it hot guys like us seldom have lasting relationships that is why when we have found the one hold them tight and never let go let me introduce you to my bridesmaids" "they're all single with hot bodies it's okay enjoy your night, congratulations again" "don't go missing again okay see you later okay" "hey,sean hey, how're you?" "Long time no see good." "How're you?" "Yeah, where have you been?" "Sorry, I'll talk to you later, okay?" "Okay, take care" "I have been away for so long not sure why the banana still hasn't gone bad" "I always wanted to know the key you left at my house..." "What's it for?" "My front door then..." "How did you get home?" "Locksmith, what else could it be?" "Why?" "Perhaps I am just like you, believing that unconditional love is true love" "can you dance?" "Should be easy perhaps it is like" "surfing in between music notes" "listen to your bullshit!" "Idiot" ""'lf you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain'" " Sean"" "if you believe there is a mountain, then there is a mountain" "I finally understand an ocean without waves is not an ocean" "just like love without pain ls not love" "we can't avoid getting hurt but we can choose to get back up again" "my friends all call Emily a liar and say they have the photos to prove it" "but I don't want to see the proof" "I'd rather believe that" "I once fell in love with a girl who eats nail clippers special appearances ekin Cheng special appearances sie yi lin hsu wei ning lin chen shi lin yu chih jacky cai joy sheng visual effects supervisor sound designer Bart wong tu duu-chih"
