00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:25.060
Are we still partners?
00:00:27.110 --> 00:00:29.610
We've been business partners
for 155 weeks now.
00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:32.280
We're sitting next to each other
for the first time today.
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.740
We seldom see each other.
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:38.120
I know too well that man
can hardly control his passion.
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.780
Partners should never get
emotionally involved with each other.
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.620
FALLEN ANGELS
00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:23.220
A message for 3662.
00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:25.430
I'm meeting his friends tomorrow.
00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:28.680
Ask him to let me know where.
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.780
Most people work from 9:00 to 5:00.
00:04:48.450 --> 00:04:50.530
I'm just the opposite.
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:53.660
My job is simple.
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.120
I visit some "friends"
once in a while.
00:04:57.250 --> 00:05:00.000
I don't know any of them.
00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:02.880
And I'm not interested
in them either.
00:05:03.210 --> 00:05:05.630
Because they'll soon be gone forever.
00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:51.280
Going out?
00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:52.660
Yes.
00:06:57.410 --> 00:07:00.790
One's profession is very often
determined by one's personality.
00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:04.330
The best thing about my profession
00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.290
is there's no need
to make any decisions.
00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:09.210
Who's to die, when, where?
00:07:09.340 --> 00:07:11.130
it's all been planned by others.
00:07:11.260 --> 00:07:12.880
I'm a lazy person.
00:07:13.010 --> 00:07:16.180
I like people to arrange things for me.
00:07:16.350 --> 00:07:18.810
That's why I need a partner.
00:09:56.130 --> 00:09:57.130
Ming?
00:09:59.390 --> 00:10:00.510
Ming!
00:10:01.850 --> 00:10:03.850
You're Ming, aren't you?
00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:06.390
Remember me?
My name's Hoi.
00:10:06.520 --> 00:10:10.350
Don't you remember me?
I was always number one in grade school.
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.810
- Remember?
- Yeah.
00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:13.150
What a coincidence!
00:10:13.270 --> 00:10:16.820
If my Mercedes hadn't broken down,
I wouldn't have run into you here.
00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:20.030
Every person has his own past.
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.740
Even if you're a killer,
00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:24.200
you still have classmates
from grade school around.
00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:25.950
Every time I run into them,
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.750
they ask me the same questions.
00:10:29.870 --> 00:10:32.290
What kind of work do you do?
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:35.710
Give me your card
so we can keep in touch.
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.760
Maybe we could work together.
00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:40.590
That would be great.
Always lookin' to make a buck.
00:10:43.890 --> 00:10:46.970
Your own business?
That's worth breaking your back for!
00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.890
You married?
00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:51.730
Don't tell me you can't find a girl!
00:10:52.520 --> 00:10:54.730
What? A son!
00:10:55.190 --> 00:10:56.860
Looks exactly like you!
00:10:57.230 --> 00:11:00.400
What's this? Your wife's black?
00:11:01.070 --> 00:11:04.320
I mean... smart move!
Black grows on you.
00:11:04.450 --> 00:11:06.580
Your skin color's different,
00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:08.790
but you make a nice couple.
00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:11.250
Hey, are you insured?
00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:13.080
Maybe you can help me out.
00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:15.210
I've been in the business
over ten years.
00:11:15.340 --> 00:11:16.590
You might not know,
00:11:16.750 --> 00:11:21.550
but I'm rated the top insurance broker
in all Southeast Asia.
00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:25.550
I'm being interviewed
by the newspaper in a few days.
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:27.850
For old time's sake,
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:33.400
I'll work out the best plan for you.
You never can tell.
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:36.060
God forbid, but what if
something should happen?
00:11:36.190 --> 00:11:37.940
It's not just for you.
00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:40.610
I see you travel a lot for work.
00:11:40.780 --> 00:11:43.700
If not for yourself,
think about your wife and little boy.
00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:48.490
I often wonder if any insurance company
would insure a professional killer.
00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.580
I'd really like to help him out,
00:11:50.710 --> 00:11:52.910
but I wouldn't know
whom to name as beneficiary.
00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:56.630
Remember that girl with the big boobs?
The one we were both after years ago?
00:11:56.790 --> 00:11:59.960
We're getting married next week.
Here's an invitation.
00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:04.050
Sorry, just write your own name on it.
00:12:04.470 --> 00:12:07.470
Come a little early.
I'll write up the policy for you.
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.390
And bring your wife.
Bye-bye.
00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:15.310
A few years back, I paid a black woman
$30 to have her picture taken with me,
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.650
so that if people asked,
I could say she was my wife.
00:12:19.020 --> 00:12:22.190
And the kid in the picture?
I just bought him an ice cream cone.
00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:26.320
I've always wanted to go
to a wedding,
00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:30.990
but I know very well
it's not my kind of scene.
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.530
Going through a person's trash
00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:32.740
can tell you a lot about them.
00:14:34.450 --> 00:14:37.200
He comes to this bar a lot.
00:14:38.330 --> 00:14:40.000
Maybe 'cause it's quiet.
00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:45.800
Sometimes I sit in his usual seat.
00:14:47.090 --> 00:14:49.880
Lets me feel close to him.
00:14:56.770 --> 00:14:59.980
Some people you really don't want
to get too close to.
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.360
Find out too much about a person
and you lose interest.
00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:11.700
I'm the practical kind.
00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:15.030
I know how to make myself happy.
00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:53.600
No, he hasn't come back yet.
00:19:53.730 --> 00:19:55.060
You telling the truth?
00:19:55.190 --> 00:19:57.650
Why should I lie?
00:19:59.070 --> 00:20:03.070
- You live here?
- Something wrong with that?
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.860
Have you seen this person around?
00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:06.450
No.
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.420
Don't come out yet.
00:20:20.550 --> 00:20:22.550
The cops are still here.
00:20:36.100 --> 00:20:37.980
You know where he is. Tell us.
00:20:38.110 --> 00:20:41.030
You rub elbows
with a lot of people every day.
00:20:41.150 --> 00:20:44.990
Some strangers might become
your friends or even confidants.
00:20:46.030 --> 00:20:50.120
But I know very well these cops
will never be my confidants.
00:20:50.990 --> 00:20:52.700
My name is Ho Chi Moo.
00:20:52.830 --> 00:20:54.790
I was prisoner number 223.
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.790
I haven't seen him in days.
I'll let you know when he comes back.
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.670
I saw him come in.
You'd better tell the truth.
00:21:06.470 --> 00:21:08.720
Stop making faces!
Stand still!
00:21:28.490 --> 00:21:30.200
I'm a happy man.
00:21:30.370 --> 00:21:32.370
I was very talkative when I was small.
00:21:32.830 --> 00:21:36.540
But at age five, I ate
a can of pineapple that had expired,
00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:39.880
and I stopped talking.
00:21:40.750 --> 00:21:43.420
For that reason,
I have very few friends.
00:21:43.550 --> 00:21:46.840
I found it very hard
to find work too.
00:21:46.970 --> 00:21:49.760
I finally decided to be my own boss.
00:22:08.110 --> 00:22:10.870
Having no capital,
the only thing I can do
00:22:10.990 --> 00:22:13.120
is sneak into
other people's shops after hours
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.540
and run my own business.
00:22:15.910 --> 00:22:17.870
I'm not a freeloader.
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.790
I just think it makes sense,
since the rent's already been paid,
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:23.790
to run the business around the clock.
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.550
Who says nobody
buys pork at 3:00 a.m.?
00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:28.760
I came yesterday
to buy some, didn't I?
00:22:29.260 --> 00:22:30.800
If you want to do business,
00:22:30.930 --> 00:22:33.100
you have to take
each customer's needs into account.
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:38.140
Buddha said,
"If I don't descend into hell, who will?"
00:22:38.270 --> 00:22:40.100
When you're the boss,
you have to be kind,
00:22:40.230 --> 00:22:41.690
caring and tolerant.
00:22:41.810 --> 00:22:43.940
You can't just look to your own gain.
00:22:44.110 --> 00:22:47.360
I know very well
there's no such thing as a free lunch,
00:22:47.490 --> 00:22:51.160
so I always work very hard
until the wee hours.
00:22:51.490 --> 00:22:54.830
I don't make a lot of money,
but I'm happy.
00:23:12.470 --> 00:23:14.850
Are you nuts? Why should I let you
wash my clothes?
00:23:14.970 --> 00:23:16.930
I'm a beggar.
I don't need laundry done!
00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:19.310
I don't need it!
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.640
Leave me alone!
00:23:21.810 --> 00:23:24.730
Are you nuts?
Keep your hands off my clothes!
00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:27.190
Give me back my clothes!
00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:29.740
Hands off!
I'll beat you up!
00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:31.490
Okay, I'll pay!
00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:35.530
I'll pay you,
if it's money you want.
00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:37.160
You're a lunatic!
00:23:39.830 --> 00:23:42.330
Don't push me!
I don't want any eggplant!
00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:44.420
You can't make me buy it!
00:23:44.540 --> 00:23:48.210
I'm single.
What would people think?
00:23:48.340 --> 00:23:49.670
Not even if they're free!
00:23:49.800 --> 00:23:51.670
I'll take some melon.
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:55.640
Here!
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:04.350
This is huge!
Are you out of your mind?
00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:08.570
Stop that!
00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:13.030
I washed my hair yesterday.
00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:21.250
Ouch! Easy!
00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:25.370
My head doesn't itch,
stop scratching it!
00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:29.670
I just came down for a late snack.
00:24:29.800 --> 00:24:31.920
I don't need a shampoo.
00:24:35.050 --> 00:24:38.390
I give up.
Do whatever you want.
00:24:43.690 --> 00:24:45.230
No!
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.820
I don't want a shave!
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:58.620
Hands off!
00:25:02.250 --> 00:25:07.000
Listen, I'm no regular guy.
I have underworld connections.
00:25:10.300 --> 00:25:13.840
I really don't want a shave.
How about?
00:25:13.970 --> 00:25:16.430
I'll pay you, okay?
00:25:19.970 --> 00:25:22.180
A double cone, please.
00:25:24.430 --> 00:25:25.940
Oh, no, it's you!
00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:27.850
Sorry.
00:25:38.990 --> 00:25:41.660
Stop pulling my hair.
00:25:41.790 --> 00:25:44.290
I'll climb in myself.
00:25:45.870 --> 00:25:48.290
Sorry!
00:25:51.340 --> 00:25:53.130
I'm coming in.
00:25:59.470 --> 00:26:03.100
Hello? It's me.
What are you doing?
00:26:06.020 --> 00:26:08.310
Go to bed. Don't wait for me.
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.310
I'm having some ice cream.
00:26:13.690 --> 00:26:17.110
Uh, no, it's more than a scoop or two.
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.990
I don't know how much more
I'll have to eat.
00:26:22.370 --> 00:26:26.040
No, it's not an eating contest.
Of course I'll have to pay!
00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:33.250
Yeah, but this guy won't let me...
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.840
I don't know how to explain,
but it's the truth.
00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:40.930
Come see for yourself
if you don't believe me.
00:26:41.050 --> 00:26:42.600
Hello?
00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:50.270
No, I can't eat that!
00:26:53.690 --> 00:26:56.280
What if my mustache catches on fire?
00:26:57.360 --> 00:26:59.610
This isn't funny anymore.
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.370
Why are you doing this?
00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:08.200
I said to come by yourself.
00:27:08.370 --> 00:27:10.540
I didn't tell you
to bring the whole family.
00:27:11.370 --> 00:27:13.960
Dad's too old for all this ice cream.
00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:16.380
What if something happens?
00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:20.420
The kids have to go to school tomorrow.
00:27:21.090 --> 00:27:23.050
Think about that.
00:27:28.060 --> 00:27:33.230
Has anyone in Hong Kong ever died
from too much ice cream?
00:27:33.860 --> 00:27:36.440
I don't want to be the first.
00:27:37.570 --> 00:27:39.780
I'll pay you, okay?
00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:44.530
Name a price.
I'll buy it all. Please.
00:27:47.580 --> 00:27:50.580
My ice cream may be
a bit more expensive,
00:27:50.710 --> 00:27:53.500
but I think this family
is having a great time.
00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:57.250
I love ice cream.
00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:01.340
When I was little, an ice cream truck
would stop by my house every day.
00:28:01.470 --> 00:28:04.590
I was always happy to see it.
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:09.260
Once I asked my dad
why he didn't drive an ice cream truck.
00:28:10.060 --> 00:28:11.980
He didn't answer.
00:28:12.100 --> 00:28:13.640
I later found out
00:28:13.770 --> 00:28:16.440
my mother had been run over
by an ice cream truck.
00:28:18.860 --> 00:28:20.650
I was born in Taiwan.
00:28:20.780 --> 00:28:23.530
I came to Hong Kong
with my dad when I was five.
00:28:24.070 --> 00:28:26.700
He worked as an assistant
at the Chungking Mansions Hotel.
00:28:27.280 --> 00:28:31.290
He's rarely talked
since my mother died.
00:28:31.410 --> 00:28:33.330
No more ice cream, of course.
00:28:35.540 --> 00:28:37.880
Maybe the fact
we're both so quiet
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.550
explains why we've always been close.
00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:45.970
Why are you being so nice to me?
00:28:46.090 --> 00:28:47.970
You even bought me ice cream.
00:28:48.810 --> 00:28:51.350
You should know
I don't like ice cream.
00:29:07.370 --> 00:29:10.910
It's too cold!
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.660
It's bad for my health.
Gives me the runs.
00:29:27.260 --> 00:29:28.510
Are you nuts?
00:29:43.530 --> 00:29:46.490
Hey, open up!
What game are you playing now?
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:48.700
Open this door!
00:29:48.820 --> 00:29:51.740
What are you doing?
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.160
I'll kill you!
00:29:54.750 --> 00:29:57.040
Open this door!
Stop playing around!
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:13.720
9090.
00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:16.560
I'd like to leave a message.
00:30:16.730 --> 00:30:19.060
I'm meeting his friends tomorrow.
00:30:20.060 --> 00:30:21.650
He should let me know where.
00:32:05.210 --> 00:32:08.630
I get it. It's clear.
00:32:09.670 --> 00:32:14.010
I just wanna make sure
the address was correct.
00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:17.100
It was a fast-food store,
not a barber shop.
00:32:17.510 --> 00:32:20.850
You may think
we must be making a lot of money.
00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:23.480
But how much is a human life worth?
00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:25.310
Demand comes and goes.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.020
It's not unusual to have
no business for months.
00:32:28.190 --> 00:32:29.980
So, once in a while
00:32:30.110 --> 00:32:32.650
I moonlight in the financial field.
00:32:32.780 --> 00:32:35.030
Like debt collection.
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.240
Thanks.
00:32:40.870 --> 00:32:42.790
Hold on.
I'll get you the money.
00:32:47.380 --> 00:32:48.130
Here.
00:34:24.310 --> 00:34:27.310
I don't know why,
but I've been injured a lot lately.
00:34:27.810 --> 00:34:31.350
I hate digging bullets
out of my own body.
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.020
It's exhausting.
00:34:39.910 --> 00:34:42.030
I turned in early that night,
00:34:42.160 --> 00:34:45.700
knowing when I woke up the next day,
I'd have to make a decision.
00:34:59.510 --> 00:35:01.680
Lady, we're closed.
00:35:03.140 --> 00:35:06.930
Two weeks after I was injured,
I asked to see her.
00:35:07.270 --> 00:35:09.520
I wanted to tell her my decision.
00:35:10.810 --> 00:35:13.860
But I didn't show up.
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:41.420
I'm sure she'll look for me here
in the next couple days.
00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:45.430
I know that because
we've been partners for so long.
00:35:50.770 --> 00:35:53.850
As her partner, it's not enough
for me to understand her.
00:35:54.650 --> 00:35:56.980
I have to let her understand me too.
00:35:58.230 --> 00:36:01.240
So sometimes I leave clues
00:36:01.570 --> 00:36:04.990
so she can trace
my actions and whereabouts.
00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:10.540
She's become part of my life
these past years.
00:36:16.250 --> 00:36:19.420
But things always change.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:23.880
I desperately want to tell her
that I want to quit,
00:36:24.470 --> 00:36:26.340
but I don't know how to start.
00:36:28.140 --> 00:36:31.100
So I've devised another way.
00:36:36.230 --> 00:36:39.150
A woman may come asking for me
in the next few days.
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.900
Please give her this coin.
00:36:41.030 --> 00:36:43.610
Tell her 1818 is my lucky number.
00:36:56.170 --> 00:36:57.380
1818.
00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:00.170
The number of one
of the songs in this jukebox.
00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:03.170
When she hears the song,
00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:05.260
she'll understand my message.
00:37:25.200 --> 00:37:28.450
Forget him
00:37:29.410 --> 00:37:33.620
And it's like forgetting everything
00:37:34.620 --> 00:37:39.000
It's like losing all direction
00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:43.000
Losing oneself
00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:48.300
Forget him
00:37:48.890 --> 00:37:53.100
And it's like forgetting
the joy of life
00:37:53.770 --> 00:37:58.650
It's like a knife in the heart
00:37:58.770 --> 00:38:02.230
Bleeding in pain
00:38:16.370 --> 00:38:18.000
May I sit here?
00:38:48.150 --> 00:38:50.740
It's raining!
00:38:52.070 --> 00:38:54.740
Let's have some fun!
00:38:54.910 --> 00:38:56.620
It feels great!
00:38:56.750 --> 00:38:59.250
Cover me too!
00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:03.080
Come on!
00:39:17.430 --> 00:39:18.850
What?
00:39:19.730 --> 00:39:21.560
I'm all nervous.
00:39:21.690 --> 00:39:23.100
Why?
00:39:24.110 --> 00:39:25.480
Come on up.
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:27.820
No?
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:30.820
Okay.
00:39:34.950 --> 00:39:36.700
Sure you don't wanna come up?
00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:39.370
Positive?
00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:41.290
Forget it.
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.840
Come and get it.
00:40:02.730 --> 00:40:05.980
It won't dry out tonight.
You'll have to stay.
00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:10.820
I'll take it to the cleaners
for you tomorrow.
00:40:11.200 --> 00:40:12.200
Okay?
00:40:14.870 --> 00:40:17.200
Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:20.750
Why are you ignoring me?
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:25.500
Open the door!
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.510
Looks nice.
Still fits you well.
00:40:37.010 --> 00:40:38.510
Whose is this?
00:40:40.310 --> 00:40:41.770
Why all the questions?
00:40:42.100 --> 00:40:44.190
Are we that close?
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.020
Better be careful!
00:40:51.530 --> 00:40:53.530
What are you doing?
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.910
Help!
00:41:05.330 --> 00:41:06.460
Hey!
00:41:06.580 --> 00:41:09.040
What do you want from me?
00:41:25.810 --> 00:41:27.400
What are you doing?
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.900
I'm so happy!
00:41:32.570 --> 00:41:34.400
Don't let me stop you.
00:41:56.930 --> 00:41:58.840
Guess why I dyed my hair blond.
00:42:00.390 --> 00:42:01.430
I don't know.
00:42:03.770 --> 00:42:05.850
To make myself unforgettable.
00:42:06.640 --> 00:42:08.310
It's pretty special.
00:42:08.520 --> 00:42:09.940
You're making fun of me.
00:42:10.190 --> 00:42:12.770
I mean it.
You're very special.
00:42:13.190 --> 00:42:15.740
- Someone told me that once before.
- Who?
00:42:19.410 --> 00:42:20.660
You!
00:42:20.820 --> 00:42:23.450
We were together for some time.
00:42:23.790 --> 00:42:26.080
I had long hair then.
00:42:27.540 --> 00:42:30.120
You called me "baby. "
00:42:30.750 --> 00:42:32.000
Really?
00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:35.300
Yes.
00:42:37.970 --> 00:42:40.430
But let's let bygones be bygones.
00:42:40.890 --> 00:42:43.010
If you like me now, it's fine.
00:42:47.350 --> 00:42:49.770
I didn't say that.
00:42:50.980 --> 00:42:52.690
I just wanted some company.
00:42:54.190 --> 00:42:55.190
Fine.
00:42:55.650 --> 00:42:57.440
Just for the night.
00:42:58.990 --> 00:43:01.530
Maybe you'll like me better tomorrow.
00:46:33.370 --> 00:46:34.580
No!
00:46:34.700 --> 00:46:36.250
Get out!
00:46:37.660 --> 00:46:39.040
Get the hell out of here!
00:46:39.210 --> 00:46:42.040
Get out or I'll clobber you!
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:53.390
Hello?
00:46:55.140 --> 00:46:57.560
What did you want to tell me?
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.730
You want to have kids?
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:03.400
Why are you telling me this?
00:47:05.900 --> 00:47:08.820
You wanna get married?
Sure! I'll marry you.
00:47:09.490 --> 00:47:12.700
Give me time
to send out invitations.
00:47:13.160 --> 00:47:14.910
You already did?
00:47:15.240 --> 00:47:17.250
How come I'm the last to know?
00:47:17.410 --> 00:47:19.960
You're a sly one!
00:47:21.380 --> 00:47:23.630
You sent me an invitation?
00:47:23.750 --> 00:47:25.500
Why?
00:47:32.850 --> 00:47:35.510
I see.
Congratulations!
00:47:35.640 --> 00:47:37.720
Who's the lucky girl?
00:47:39.270 --> 00:47:40.390
Blondie?
00:47:40.850 --> 00:47:43.860
What a perfect couple!
00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:47.650
She wants me to be her bridesmaid?
00:47:48.740 --> 00:47:50.780
What should I wear?
00:47:50.950 --> 00:47:52.280
Chinese style?
00:47:52.410 --> 00:47:55.530
A lady-in-waiting?
How interesting!
00:47:56.200 --> 00:47:58.790
Sure! That's great!
00:47:59.620 --> 00:48:01.750
Where's Blondie now?
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.420
I want to call and congratulate her.
00:48:05.790 --> 00:48:07.750
Okay, thanks. Bye-bye.
00:48:13.300 --> 00:48:15.510
Give me a dime.
You got a dime?
00:48:27.940 --> 00:48:29.900
Hello? Blondie?
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:33.240
I know you're there.
Stop pretending you're the machine.
00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:36.320
You know what?
If you don't talk to me,
00:48:36.450 --> 00:48:39.160
you'll regret it
the rest of your life!
00:48:39.330 --> 00:48:41.160
You're marrying him?
00:48:41.330 --> 00:48:43.160
I shouldn't have asked you
to pay his electricity bill.
00:48:43.330 --> 00:48:44.920
Now you're getting married?
00:48:45.710 --> 00:48:48.340
You filthy bitch!
He doesn't love you.
00:48:48.500 --> 00:48:52.510
He just wants a son born
in the Year of the Pig this year!
00:48:52.630 --> 00:48:54.380
But it's already April!
00:48:54.510 --> 00:48:57.470
There's not enough time!
It'll be premature.
00:48:58.850 --> 00:48:59.930
I've got it!
00:49:00.060 --> 00:49:03.350
You got pregnant by another guy
and told him it's his child.
00:49:03.690 --> 00:49:07.480
I'm warning you: Next time I see you,
I'm gonna push you down the stairs!
00:49:07.610 --> 00:49:08.940
You got that?
00:49:09.190 --> 00:49:12.190
Hello? Hello?
I'm not finished yet!
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:13.820
Hello?
00:49:14.610 --> 00:49:16.030
Gimme another dime!
00:49:25.080 --> 00:49:27.830
That bitch!
She took the phone off the hook!
00:49:33.510 --> 00:49:35.510
I don't want any!
00:49:37.510 --> 00:49:39.760
Let me cry on your shoulder.
00:49:49.060 --> 00:49:51.730
The night's full of weirdos.
00:49:52.730 --> 00:49:56.240
This girl seems to turn up
wherever I go.
00:49:58.410 --> 00:50:00.990
I'm fine now.
I'll pay you back next time.
00:50:01.870 --> 00:50:03.540
But every time we meet,
it's the same story.
00:50:11.670 --> 00:50:16.260
I wish I could tell her some problems
can't be solved over the phone.
00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:18.590
You meet the guy face to face
and talk it out,
00:50:18.720 --> 00:50:20.760
or, if that fails,
you punch him in the nose.
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:23.600
Too bad I couldn't put it into words.
00:50:24.680 --> 00:50:28.020
But she seemed to somehow
understand anyway.
00:50:30.190 --> 00:50:31.900
I think you're right.
00:50:32.150 --> 00:50:33.650
Let's go.
00:50:52.790 --> 00:50:54.460
Blondie, I know you're in there!
00:50:54.630 --> 00:50:57.340
Come out if you've got the guts!
00:50:57.470 --> 00:51:00.220
I'm gonna burn this place down
on the count of three!
00:51:00.340 --> 00:51:02.970
One... two... three!
00:51:03.470 --> 00:51:05.640
I think we got the wrong floor.
00:51:07.140 --> 00:51:09.810
Blondie, come on out!
I know you're in there!
00:51:09.980 --> 00:51:12.150
I'm gonna burn this place down
if you don't!
00:51:12.310 --> 00:51:14.320
One... two... three!
00:51:16.570 --> 00:51:18.570
Let's try the next floor.
00:51:20.700 --> 00:51:22.360
Are those gray hairs real?
00:51:22.490 --> 00:51:24.370
At my age? Of course they are!
00:51:24.490 --> 00:51:28.040
Looks like a faded blond dye job to me!
How are you related to Blondie?
00:51:28.160 --> 00:51:29.500
I don't know any Blondie.
00:51:29.660 --> 00:51:31.580
Her real name's Situ Hui Ling.
Ring a bell?
00:51:31.710 --> 00:51:33.500
Never heard of her.
00:51:33.670 --> 00:51:34.790
Is she your chick?
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:37.630
Leave me alone, you loony!
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:39.550
I'm sure they've got a thing together.
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:41.340
Follow him!
00:51:42.050 --> 00:51:43.590
Do you have a daughter
named Blondie?
00:51:43.720 --> 00:51:47.470
Or Situ Hui Ling? You look a lot alike.
Have you forgotten?
00:51:47.600 --> 00:51:49.310
- Think hard.
- I don't know her.
00:51:49.430 --> 00:51:51.600
We searched high and low all night.
00:51:51.730 --> 00:51:55.400
After a while, I started to wonder
if she even knew where Blondie lived.
00:51:55.520 --> 00:51:57.480
I'm tired of this game.
00:51:57.610 --> 00:52:01.780
Why is everyone covering for you?
Where the hell are you?
00:52:01.910 --> 00:52:03.910
I'm a nice person.
Why doesn't anyone help me?
00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:05.870
You're a slut,
and everyone helps you!
00:52:06.030 --> 00:52:08.540
It's not fair.
What kind of world is this?
00:52:08.700 --> 00:52:10.700
I don't wanna play this game anymore.
00:52:10.830 --> 00:52:13.750
You must be sleeping with everyone.
You must have slept with her too.
00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:16.880
I bet you have,
but you won't admit it. Right?
00:52:17.050 --> 00:52:20.090
What a crazy world.
How am I gonna find you?
00:52:20.220 --> 00:52:22.970
Bitch! You've got
the whole world on your side.
00:52:34.730 --> 00:52:36.400
Blondie!
00:52:37.110 --> 00:52:40.360
You slut! How dare you show your face!
You're finished!
00:52:40.490 --> 00:52:44.990
Bitch! Slut! Tramp!
00:52:45.120 --> 00:52:47.990
I'll mop you to death!
00:52:48.120 --> 00:52:49.660
Bitch!
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:55.460
How can you be so cruel!
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:04.930
Hey, get your face out of the food
and watch the door!
00:53:05.050 --> 00:53:06.680
Blondie could walk in any minute.
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.560
She used to come here
for dim sum with her pop.
00:53:12.680 --> 00:53:16.020
How do you spell "inadequate"?
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.570
Never mind.
I'll just spell it like this.
00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:27.450
Listen to this.
00:53:27.570 --> 00:53:31.950
"I, Situ Hui Ling, aka Blondie,
am ugly and inadequate.
00:53:32.120 --> 00:53:35.160
I hereby return Mr. Johnny Kwong
to his rightful girlfriend, Charlie Young.
00:53:35.290 --> 00:53:37.290
I will have no more relationship with him.
00:53:37.460 --> 00:53:40.170
This will serve as proof.
Our signatures are binding unto death. "
00:53:40.300 --> 00:53:42.800
This is great, right?
00:53:43.970 --> 00:53:46.380
I'll make Blondie sign this today.
00:53:46.510 --> 00:53:49.050
I gotta get her fingerprints
and ID number.
00:53:49.180 --> 00:53:52.640
Her old man can serve as witness.
I'll get a picture of them together.
00:53:52.770 --> 00:53:53.520
Blondie!
00:53:53.640 --> 00:53:56.190
- Your name is Blondie too?
- Shut up!
00:53:56.310 --> 00:53:57.940
I'll fucking chop you to pieces!
00:53:59.270 --> 00:54:01.070
This is Blondie!
00:54:01.730 --> 00:54:02.940
Your name is Blondie too?
00:54:03.070 --> 00:54:04.610
What if it is?
00:54:07.950 --> 00:54:09.410
Is your name really Blondie?
00:54:09.530 --> 00:54:10.620
What of it?
00:54:59.290 --> 00:55:01.290
They say women are made of water.
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:03.880
So are some men.
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:07.760
Most people fall in love
for the first time as teenagers.
00:55:08.090 --> 00:55:10.050
I guess I'm a late bloomer.
00:55:10.390 --> 00:55:12.850
Maybe I'm too picky.
00:55:12.970 --> 00:55:15.180
On May 30, 1995,
00:55:15.310 --> 00:55:17.520
I finally fell in love
for the first time.
00:55:18.560 --> 00:55:21.310
It was raining that night.
00:55:21.770 --> 00:55:26.440
When I looked at her,
I suddenly felt like I was a store.
00:55:27.190 --> 00:55:28.860
And she was me.
00:55:28.990 --> 00:55:32.870
Without any warning,
she suddenly enters the store.
00:55:33.450 --> 00:55:35.200
I don't know how long she'll stay.
00:55:35.330 --> 00:55:37.750
The longer the better, of course.
00:57:27.810 --> 00:57:31.360
You never wash
your feet or socks or hair.
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:34.280
You stink all over.
00:57:36.030 --> 00:57:39.200
When did you dye your hair blond?
00:57:42.790 --> 00:57:45.210
They say love can change a man.
00:57:45.460 --> 00:57:49.000
I started to find myself
more handsome and charming.
00:57:49.590 --> 00:57:52.670
And suddenly I discovered
I was turning blond.
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:55.340
Maybe because my mom was Russian.
00:57:56.130 --> 00:57:58.800
A lot of people don't understand
when my father speaks Taiwanese.
00:57:58.930 --> 00:58:00.720
And rightly so.
00:58:00.850 --> 00:58:03.640
It's actually Taiwanese
with the infamous Russian accent.
00:58:04.810 --> 00:58:07.390
Hello?
Chungking Mansions Hotel.
00:58:07.730 --> 00:58:09.150
Who's this?
00:58:09.270 --> 00:58:10.150
Blondie!
00:58:26.660 --> 00:58:29.080
On June 22, 1995,
00:58:29.460 --> 00:58:33.000
the Italian team Sampdoria
came to play in Hong Kong.
00:58:33.250 --> 00:58:35.130
I went to the game with Charlie.
00:58:35.550 --> 00:58:37.220
She wanted to see Ruud Gullit.
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:41.140
She was ecstatic that night.
00:58:42.510 --> 00:58:44.930
She insisted on staying after the game.
00:58:45.930 --> 00:58:47.640
This is no fun!
00:58:48.730 --> 00:58:50.940
What's the point in playing them?
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:55.610
They're all blond and superior.
Our players are no match.
00:58:57.070 --> 00:59:00.860
Did they really expect a miracle?
Fools!
00:59:04.540 --> 00:59:06.790
You know why I came?
00:59:08.750 --> 00:59:12.750
I was the one hoping for a miracle.
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:16.210
Johnny is a huge fan of Gullit.
00:59:16.340 --> 00:59:18.130
I thought I might see him here.
00:59:18.300 --> 00:59:21.680
But how could he come?
He's getting married tomorrow.
00:59:23.970 --> 00:59:26.770
You know why I was yelling
and waving like crazy earlier?
00:59:26.890 --> 00:59:30.020
I was hoping he'd see me on TV.
00:59:37.900 --> 00:59:39.820
He promised me he'd come!
00:59:39.990 --> 00:59:42.110
So why didn't he?
00:59:44.330 --> 00:59:46.830
I realized that she still missed Johnny.
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.000
It made me feel bad.
00:59:49.120 --> 00:59:51.460
But I'm an optimist.
00:59:51.580 --> 00:59:55.460
I've heard people say
everything has its expiration date.
00:59:55.590 --> 00:59:58.800
I wasn't sure this would apply
to her and Johnny,
00:59:59.130 --> 01:00:01.800
but I thought it might soon.
01:00:15.940 --> 01:00:18.530
I guess I might have been
a little too optimistic.
01:00:19.030 --> 01:00:21.990
A few days later,
I asked her to go to a second match.
01:00:23.200 --> 01:00:25.070
She didn't show up.
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.870
I thought what she had
with Johnny would expire soon.
01:00:30.620 --> 01:00:31.870
But as it turned out,
01:00:32.040 --> 01:00:34.500
my expiration date came up first.
01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:40.960
I got there early
and stayed till everyone was gone.
01:00:41.090 --> 01:00:43.300
As the lights of the stadium went dark,
01:00:43.430 --> 01:00:45.180
I realized she wasn't gonna show.
01:00:45.300 --> 01:00:47.970
I was heartbroken.
This couldn't be.
01:00:55.900 --> 01:00:58.650
People say breaking up hurts.
01:00:59.070 --> 01:01:01.030
That wasn't true for me.
01:01:03.030 --> 01:01:04.700
But something strange did happen.
01:01:04.820 --> 01:01:08.410
After that day, my blond hair
suddenly disappeared.
01:01:08.580 --> 01:01:10.740
Just like my first love.
01:01:11.750 --> 01:01:15.670
I also began to realize my past behavior
had been very irresponsible.
01:01:16.460 --> 01:01:18.670
I shouldn't have taken over
other people's shops,
01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:21.250
coming and going as I pleased.
01:01:22.220 --> 01:01:25.010
Every shop has its own feelings.
01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.350
This realization
had a profound effect on me.
01:01:29.680 --> 01:01:31.430
It prompted me to change my ways.
01:01:46.700 --> 01:01:48.160
Welcome.
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:50.490
One person.
01:01:51.620 --> 01:01:56.120
Look for our new menu next time.
01:01:56.250 --> 01:01:58.000
Am I making you stay overtime?
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.090
Get a glass for yourself.
Be my guest.
01:02:12.310 --> 01:02:13.430
How's business?
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:29.700
What's it cost
to open a place like this?
01:02:46.670 --> 01:02:48.340
Good evening.
01:02:50.390 --> 01:02:52.350
You have money?
01:02:53.350 --> 01:02:56.770
I was just wondering
what it costs to open a place like this.
01:02:57.140 --> 01:02:58.940
Do you have a million?
01:02:59.060 --> 01:03:01.940
I had never thought
about going into business before.
01:03:02.360 --> 01:03:05.530
When you live in a suitcase,
you don't need a place of your own.
01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:08.360
But things had changed.
01:03:08.490 --> 01:03:10.410
I had to start planning
for the future.
01:03:11.870 --> 01:03:14.830
That night,
I had a nice chat with the manager.
01:03:15.500 --> 01:03:18.370
He even offered a helping hand
01:03:19.420 --> 01:03:21.580
should I ever open my own shop.
01:03:22.710 --> 01:03:25.000
- Another beer?
- Sure, one more.
01:03:43.360 --> 01:03:45.730
How much money do you have?
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.580
I stayed away from that bar
for some time,
01:04:05.130 --> 01:04:07.800
partly because I didn't want
to hear song number 1818.
01:04:09.090 --> 01:04:12.090
But there are some things
you can't escape.
01:04:13.680 --> 01:04:16.810
I've never returned
to that restaurant since that night.
01:04:49.380 --> 01:04:53.930
Wishing you good fortune
and long life to reach the heavens
01:04:54.180 --> 01:04:58.180
Wishing you a happy birthday
01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:02.980
May this day be joyous
for you every year
01:05:03.140 --> 01:05:07.480
Best wishes to you
01:05:45.690 --> 01:05:49.110
How are you, my boy?
01:05:51.900 --> 01:05:54.360
Your dad's fine.
Don't worry about me.
01:05:58.530 --> 01:06:00.370
Soon it'll be your birthday.
01:06:01.540 --> 01:06:03.910
I'm sorry I can't come home.
01:06:05.250 --> 01:06:08.170
Is your mother feeling better?
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:13.880
Is your sister behaving herself?
01:06:20.350 --> 01:06:22.890
Sato-san is a real family man.
01:06:24.140 --> 01:06:28.230
He was a film director
before he opened this place.
01:06:29.150 --> 01:06:34.610
So he always communicates
with his family by making a videotape.
01:06:36.820 --> 01:06:40.410
I'm sure his son must be very happy
to receive his videotapes.
01:06:42.030 --> 01:06:44.410
Sometimes I want
to try the same thing.
01:06:44.580 --> 01:06:47.910
But I don't know
who I'd send my tapes to.
01:06:48.830 --> 01:06:51.630
I don't want to end up
sending them to myself.
01:07:02.680 --> 01:07:10.100
You whom I hold in my heart
01:07:12.570 --> 01:07:20.240
Why did you leave my side
01:07:23.080 --> 01:07:26.790
Because of you
01:07:27.620 --> 01:07:31.830
I'm sad all the time
01:07:32.630 --> 01:07:37.550
I miss you with all my heart
01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:46.180
My beloved
01:07:47.680 --> 01:07:51.060
Come back to me
01:07:52.730 --> 01:07:58.150
Hurry back to my side
01:07:59.450 --> 01:08:01.820
Though I'm not like Sato-san,
01:08:01.950 --> 01:08:05.030
I can feel the same happiness as his son
on receiving his father's tape.
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:02.380
Get out of here!
01:09:21.280 --> 01:09:24.820
I've got nothing to say.
I want to go to sleep.
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:35.750
Are you crazy?
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:38.540
Get out of here!
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:50.930
Go away!
01:10:39.400 --> 01:10:44.690
Later that night, I discovered Dad
secretly watching the tape.
01:10:45.650 --> 01:10:47.490
He really enjoyed it.
01:10:48.320 --> 01:10:50.780
I'm usually very bad at details,
01:10:51.370 --> 01:10:55.660
but I remember very well
that it was his 60th birthday.
01:10:56.830 --> 01:11:00.920
He kept laughing as he watched it.
Who knows what he found so funny.
01:11:01.040 --> 01:11:03.250
But I know he was happy.
01:11:05.130 --> 01:11:07.170
Stupid kid!
01:11:31.620 --> 01:11:33.620
When you've worked
with someone for a long time,
01:11:33.740 --> 01:11:36.870
he can have a certain effect on you.
01:11:38.160 --> 01:11:40.080
I knew that fragrance very well.
01:11:40.870 --> 01:11:44.290
I just wasn't used
to smelling it on another woman.
01:11:50.510 --> 01:11:53.090
This suit fits me well.
01:11:53.510 --> 01:11:55.640
But I think it's shrunk a little.
01:12:00.980 --> 01:12:03.980
I never liked this fragrance
all that much.
01:12:06.190 --> 01:12:08.900
This afternoon
I smelled it on another woman.
01:12:10.860 --> 01:12:12.860
She wants to see you very much.
01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:15.410
I set up a meeting for you with her.
01:12:17.080 --> 01:12:18.750
You're not gonna go, right?
01:12:23.210 --> 01:12:26.420
You should go.
That way you could clear things up.
01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:32.930
Then again,
it's even better if you don't go.
01:12:38.850 --> 01:12:40.680
I know you'll go.
01:12:42.230 --> 01:12:43.940
You can have this back.
01:13:36.990 --> 01:13:39.080
I want...
01:13:40.290 --> 01:13:41.740
a bag of chips.
01:13:42.660 --> 01:13:44.830
The yellow ones, not the red.
01:14:22.370 --> 01:14:25.580
They sat there together
for a long time that day.
01:14:25.910 --> 01:14:28.040
I wonder what they said
to each other.
01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:31.090
It rained the whole time.
01:14:31.210 --> 01:14:32.710
I started to think,
01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:35.720
"It's raining so hard.
How will I get home by myself?"
01:14:52.230 --> 01:14:54.280
Just when I really needed a raincoat,
01:14:55.400 --> 01:14:57.240
he returned to my side.
01:15:01.070 --> 01:15:03.120
It would be so great
01:15:04.040 --> 01:15:05.660
if it could rain forever.
01:15:10.420 --> 01:15:11.960
I'm not coming up.
01:15:16.670 --> 01:15:18.590
Then why'd you walk me home?
01:15:20.390 --> 01:15:23.100
You should have let me
come back alone!
01:15:23.260 --> 01:15:25.350
I was thinking of coming back
by myself anyway.
01:15:25.470 --> 01:15:28.640
Why did you do that?
Think it'd be easier on me this way?
01:15:29.310 --> 01:15:30.730
You're crazy!
01:15:30.850 --> 01:15:34.110
Fuck off!
I never want to see you again!
01:15:36.820 --> 01:15:38.650
I thought we had agreed on this.
01:15:38.780 --> 01:15:41.530
Not me!
I never agreed to anything!
01:15:41.660 --> 01:15:45.790
I asked you not to see her, but you did.
Now what do you want from me?
01:15:46.950 --> 01:15:49.290
You think I'm a fool?
01:15:49.410 --> 01:15:51.460
Get lost!
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:55.750
Liar!
01:16:01.470 --> 01:16:02.430
Give me your arm.
01:16:08.310 --> 01:16:09.980
Why'd you do that?
01:16:13.150 --> 01:16:15.150
Can't I leave you a memento?
01:16:15.820 --> 01:16:19.360
You might forget my face,
but not my bite.
01:16:23.030 --> 01:16:27.160
But my face is easy to remember.
I have a mole.
01:16:27.330 --> 01:16:32.500
If a woman with a mole on her face
comes up to you on the street,
01:16:35.040 --> 01:16:37.500
it could be me.
01:16:41.380 --> 01:16:43.510
You won't remember me.
01:16:47.470 --> 01:16:48.810
Yes, I will.
01:17:18.090 --> 01:17:19.840
Do I remember her?
01:17:20.090 --> 01:17:22.300
Actually, it's not that important.
01:17:22.420 --> 01:17:23.840
For her,
01:17:24.300 --> 01:17:26.840
I'm just a stopover
on the journey of her life.
01:17:26.970 --> 01:17:29.430
I hope she reaches
her destination soon
01:17:29.560 --> 01:17:32.180
and finds a man who really loves her.
01:17:32.980 --> 01:17:35.520
We all need a partner.
01:17:36.860 --> 01:17:39.730
When will I find mine?
01:17:46.950 --> 01:17:49.120
Are we still partners?
01:18:11.010 --> 01:18:13.680
I didn't know
how to answer that question.
01:18:14.140 --> 01:18:17.270
I had come to look at partners
from a new angle.
01:18:18.110 --> 01:18:20.940
As a business partner,
she was perfect.
01:18:21.780 --> 01:18:25.030
But she wasn't the kind of partner
you could spend your life with.
01:18:26.950 --> 01:18:29.240
I'd like to terminate
our business relationship.
01:18:43.050 --> 01:18:44.800
Do me one last favor, will you?
01:18:54.810 --> 01:18:56.810
I don't know why I agreed.
01:18:59.810 --> 01:19:01.730
Maybe because
it was the last time.
01:19:24.500 --> 01:19:27.090
I want to place
an advertisement for my friend.
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:32.340
On the front page.
01:23:00.850 --> 01:23:02.510
The best thing about my profession
01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:05.100
is there's no need
to make any decisions.
01:23:05.230 --> 01:23:07.230
Who's to die, when, where...
01:23:07.390 --> 01:23:09.400
it's all been planned by others.
01:23:10.650 --> 01:23:12.440
I'm a lazy person.
01:23:13.230 --> 01:23:15.860
I like others to arrange things for me.
01:23:16.240 --> 01:23:18.200
It's been a bit different lately.
01:23:18.740 --> 01:23:20.910
I want to change this habit.
01:23:21.740 --> 01:23:23.990
I don't know
if it's a good decision or not,
01:23:24.580 --> 01:23:27.450
but at least it's mine.
01:24:18.050 --> 01:24:20.720
Old people say taking someone's picture
shortens that person's life.
01:24:20.970 --> 01:24:23.050
I'm not sure it's true.
01:24:24.510 --> 01:24:26.930
One evening, Dad wasn't feeling well.
01:24:27.390 --> 01:24:29.140
I took him to the hospital.
01:24:30.850 --> 01:24:33.940
He passed away a while later.
01:24:36.400 --> 01:24:41.070
All these years, I've always felt
like a little boy because of him.
01:24:42.320 --> 01:24:45.780
He was someone I could always turn to,
someone to solve all my problems.
01:24:47.410 --> 01:24:50.750
Packing up his stuff that evening,
01:24:51.160 --> 01:24:53.420
I felt like a grown-up
for the first time.
01:24:56.920 --> 01:24:58.920
But I don't wanna be a grown-up.
01:25:01.050 --> 01:25:03.590
I sure wish Dad
could always be with me!
01:25:17.770 --> 01:25:22.190
When I left the hotel,
the videotape was all I took with me.
01:25:23.360 --> 01:25:25.570
I watched it over and over
before I left.
01:27:11.350 --> 01:27:14.560
Watching Dad cook in the kitchen,
I feel very happy.
01:27:15.980 --> 01:27:19.140
Though I know
I'll never taste his steaks again,
01:27:20.650 --> 01:27:23.570
I'll never forget how they tasted.
01:27:29.820 --> 01:27:32.450
You again?
I'll be damned!
01:27:32.580 --> 01:27:34.490
Stop pulling my hair!
You promised!
01:27:34.660 --> 01:27:37.250
You should know not to touch it.
01:27:37.370 --> 01:27:39.500
I'd love to be your customer.
01:27:39.670 --> 01:27:41.580
Did I ever refuse?
01:27:42.040 --> 01:27:43.840
Did I?
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:47.510
Look at me! How do I look?
Don't touch me!
01:27:47.670 --> 01:27:49.260
My wife has gone to China.
01:27:49.380 --> 01:27:52.800
I have some business to take care of.
01:27:52.930 --> 01:27:55.680
Give me three hours.
I promise I'll be back on time.
01:27:55.810 --> 01:27:58.270
Three hours, okay?
Three hours.
01:28:00.270 --> 01:28:01.810
Two hours?
01:28:01.940 --> 01:28:04.690
It's a deal.
Two hours and I'll be back.
01:28:05.690 --> 01:28:08.190
Come on, trust me.
We're old friends now, aren't we?
01:28:08.360 --> 01:28:11.700
It's a small world. We keep running
into each other. Two hours.
01:28:11.820 --> 01:28:13.740
Trust me, please!
01:28:13.870 --> 01:28:16.700
You have my word.
We're brothers, right?
01:28:20.210 --> 01:28:22.170
You want it written in blood?
01:28:23.040 --> 01:28:24.630
You gotta be kidding!
01:28:25.710 --> 01:28:26.960
Leave it! Please!
01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:29.090
Just a few, okay?
01:28:29.340 --> 01:28:33.050
If you cut it all off,
I won't be able to go out in public!
01:28:37.100 --> 01:28:39.730
Could I have some change, please?
01:28:47.650 --> 01:28:48.570
Thanks.
01:28:53.240 --> 01:28:54.990
I'm downstairs already.
01:28:55.740 --> 01:28:57.530
Hurry and come down.
01:28:57.790 --> 01:28:58.910
Bye-bye.
01:29:07.590 --> 01:29:09.920
It must have just been bad luck.
01:29:10.340 --> 01:29:14.130
Soon after Dad died,
Sato-san returned to Japan.
01:29:15.550 --> 01:29:17.680
Since I didn't have much in savings,
01:29:17.810 --> 01:29:19.770
I could only do what I'm best at:
01:29:19.890 --> 01:29:21.560
being my own boss.
01:29:22.100 --> 01:29:24.690
But I was very cautious this time.
01:29:24.810 --> 01:29:27.480
I tried to pick the stronger shops.
01:29:27.610 --> 01:29:30.360
Ones that wouldn't get hurt easily.
01:29:30.610 --> 01:29:33.610
Like this one.
Its equipment was mostly steel.
01:29:33.780 --> 01:29:35.700
It saves a lot of trouble.
01:29:36.490 --> 01:29:38.700
At times I'd run into acquaintances.
01:29:38.950 --> 01:29:41.620
Some hadn't changed much.
01:29:42.580 --> 01:29:44.710
Others I hardly recognized.
01:29:45.830 --> 01:29:48.250
I was always glad when I saw them,
01:29:48.500 --> 01:29:51.590
even though
they might not remember me.
01:29:52.800 --> 01:29:55.720
Of course, there were exceptions.
01:29:57.050 --> 01:29:59.390
On August 29, 1995,
01:29:59.810 --> 01:30:01.930
I ran into my first love again.
01:30:02.930 --> 01:30:04.980
But she seemed to have forgotten me.
01:30:07.480 --> 01:30:09.860
I guess I'd gotten too handsome.
01:30:18.160 --> 01:30:20.660
- How come you're so late?
- I was busy.
01:30:20.830 --> 01:30:21.950
What's he doing?
01:30:22.410 --> 01:30:23.830
Who knows?
01:30:41.350 --> 01:30:44.310
It was cold that evening.
01:30:45.310 --> 01:30:48.560
I hadn't expected winter
to come so soon.
01:30:54.530 --> 01:30:57.150
I'm less and less used
to this kind of weather.
01:30:58.950 --> 01:31:02.080
Winter seems so long this year.
01:31:03.370 --> 01:31:05.620
Though I eat a lot every day,
01:31:07.370 --> 01:31:08.960
I still feel cold.
01:31:11.750 --> 01:31:15.050
I've gotten used to life
without a partner.
01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:20.300
Though I work with others at times,
01:31:20.430 --> 01:31:23.050
I don't usually have fixed partners.
01:31:24.850 --> 01:31:26.980
I've grown more cautious.
01:31:29.100 --> 01:31:32.060
I won't make their beds anymore,
for example.
01:31:32.570 --> 01:31:35.230
I don't inspect their trash,
01:31:37.070 --> 01:31:39.240
'cause I believe
even more strongly now
01:31:39.360 --> 01:31:42.660
that the best partners
don't get emotionally involved.
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:44.840
You rub elbows
with a lot of people every day.
01:32:45.180 --> 01:32:48.970
Some strangers might become
your friends or even confidants.
01:32:49.390 --> 01:32:52.640
So I never turn my back
on a chance to rub elbows.
01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:55.730
Sometimes I rub till I bleed.
01:32:56.070 --> 01:32:58.650
No big deal,
as long as I'm happy.
01:33:03.910 --> 01:33:07.120
That night,
I ran into that woman again.
01:33:07.790 --> 01:33:10.830
I knew very well we'd never be
friends or confidants.
01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:14.170
We'd had too many chances
to rub elbows in the past.
01:33:14.670 --> 01:33:17.670
We had rubbed elbows
till our clothes tore, but still no sparks.
01:33:18.920 --> 01:33:21.170
Maybe it was the weather,
01:33:21.470 --> 01:33:24.930
but that evening I felt a spark.
01:34:01.210 --> 01:34:04.550
As I was leaving,
I asked if he'd give me a ride home.
01:34:07.050 --> 01:34:09.890
I hadn't ridden
on a motorcycle in a long time.
01:34:10.390 --> 01:34:13.390
Actually, I hadn't been
that close to a man for a while.
01:34:15.440 --> 01:34:17.650
The road wasn't that long,
01:34:17.980 --> 01:34:19.980
and I knew I'd be getting off soon.
01:34:21.320 --> 01:34:24.740
But at that moment
I felt such warmth.
01:34:24.764 --> 01:34:44.764
