Bullshit call! Go home asshole!
Fuck you! Fuck! Bullshit!

Fuck, l need to take a piss.
Here she comes.
Stand straight, all of you.
l said stand straight!
Why is it always you guys?
You like coming here?
lt's not good, me calling you here.
Now, you tell me.
What am l suppose to do with you?
Shit! She's way too far this time.
One major demerit!
What else could we do?
We graduate this year, just be more careful.
A major demerit, l'm only a sophomore!
Me, too.
My fourth year and l'm still here, relax.
Yeah, and still ajunior.
You've been here forever.
Can you even graduate?
Fucker! Why did you throw his shoe?
You're blaming me?
l just threw the shoe, he climbed down.
Senior, it's because you threw my shoe.
Fuck! We were in our uniforms!
lt was a spur of the moment.
Stop worrying, alright?
We're all in it together.
Yeah, next time, we'll wear NEHS uniforms.
Get me a girl's uniform, even better!
Yeah, man! l want that!
Yen!
l'm going first if you aren't leaving.
Ok, you go ahead.
You go ahead, alright?
l'll call you later.
Bye-bye.
Can't take care of your girl?
Yeah, laugh it up, you fucks.
Senior, can people still join the band?
You have to ask the band leader that.
What's up?
Those two boys in my class,
Sheng and Han.
What about them?
My teacher told me to keep an eye on them.
A major demerit, and school just started.
So l thought they could join the band.
But those two in the band?
l doubt that they will go for it.
So, can you help me persuade them?
Me? l don't know them well.
But they hang out with Yen?
Yeah.
So have Yen persuade them.
Don't be silly.
lf only he doesn't lead them astray.
So, why are you still dating this guy?
Where are we going to eat?
Cheng Huang Temple, where else?
We always go there!
Fuck, more chicks there!
What's the matter?
Fuck, lost to Hsing yesterday.
You mean pool?
Shit, what else?
Yeah, he beat you real good!
Shit, and l was leading at first!
From Liao Ming-Hsiung's batting postures,
he's holding the bat higher than last year.
Bringing the bat up higher,
lt's easier to hit those high pitches...
As we speak, that's a very solid hit!
lt's a fly ball to the left field!
There it goes! Homerun! A two score hit!
Homerun!
Liao's better than he was in the Olympics!
Yeah, and he was ninth at bat.
Who batted eighth?
l forgot, l think Bai Kun-Hong.
And fourth?
Huang Zhong-Yi was first
Zhang Yao-Teng, Jian Tai-Chuan, Wu Si-Hsian,
Zhang Wen-Zong, Wang Kwan-Hsi, Chen Wei-Chen.
Damn! And the ninth was the best.
The Japanese must hate us.
No way! They are worse, l tell you.
They can't hit KuoLi Chan-Fu's fast pitches,
So they buy him to over to Japan.
That's right. Bastards!
Liao Ming-Hsiung came to my house before.
Really? You never told me?
lt's for real.
Liar, why would he go to your place?
Believe it or not, suit yourself.
For me?
Shit, it's for me. Go get yourself a pager.
No way, and keep getting paged all the time?
Fuck that!
Let's eat there.
Wait for me.
And your number?
Call me.
Sum and product formulas.
These sine and cosine look complex,
don't memorize them first.
You have to think why, and after a while,
you'll know them by heart.
Like this question...
There's still a lot, haven't got all day.
lf we can't finish, we can't finish.
This is why your grades suck.
Alright, try this one first.
Hey, Tang.
ls Yen fooling around again?
No way! Who told you so?
He is. Every one is talking about it.
Oh, Yen is good-looking.
Of course people are going to gossip.
Tang, how long have l known you?
Yet all you do is protect him.
Look, he's not fooling around.
Does it really bother you that much?
Of course! lt would bother any girl.
Drink slower, we only have one can.
Ok, let's go.
Fuck, l don't want to go home.
Another demerit, my dad's gonna be pissed.
ln the future, l'll cover for you.
Don't worry.
(New Daily Sporting Goods)
Yen, when did you get back?
A while ago.
Where's your dad?
Don't know. Didn't see him.
There's no one downstairs, you know.
ls that so?
What if things get stolen?
There's nothing worth stealing.
Yeah? Well if we lose something,
who'll take the responsibility?
l will.
Wait a second...
Lend me a cigarette.
Who is it?
Senior, why come to the pool at night?
Careful.
Yen!
Hey, senior, let me go first!
Who's gonna help me when you all go over?
Fuck! Too heavy!
This is cold!
Senior, there's beer at school?
l'm not the senior for nothing.
Yen, you think they'll find out?
No way.
Ok, l'm drinking then.
Wait a second, we'll drink together.
Come on. Cheers!
Nice and cold!
Hush, keep your voice down.
You drunk?
Ok, let's take'em off!
Senior, what are you doing?
We're here, aren't we?
Stop fooling around.
l didn't bring my swimming trunks.
Me neither, what do we do?
What the fuck? Yen!
Sheng, let's go, Sheng!
Fuck! Get in!
Drinking is enough, why swim?
Come on! What's your problem?
You'll pity yourselves if you see me naked.
Pity? Yeah right, bullshit!
Get in! Come on!
Be quiet! Are you guys nuts?
Bo-Chu, just you left! Get in here!
Hurry! Only you left, chicken shit!
Alright, time to get up.
Ok, let's get up!
Wait, wait, wait!
Come on, faster, l heard them in there.
Don't know how many of them. Go check.
l don't see anyone.
l saw it with my own eyes.
Maybe my eyes are blurry at night?
Are you sure there was someone?
Yeah. l really saw them.
lt's clear. Get up.
Get up. They're gone.
Base hit! Base hit! Liao Ming-Hsiung!
The following news in focus
Gangster's intrusion on baseball gambling.
Taiwan pro baseball in it's seventh year,
the league had hoped that audiences
can reach ten million people this year.
However, after the rumors have spread,
this dream may never come true.
Before the gangsters involvement,
audience per game is 5700.
The box office was not bad.
But now with the rumors of illegal gambling,
audience per game has gone down to 3000,
about a half in numbers.
This condition is truly causing
problems for the baseball league.
Where is Bo-Chu?
Hsing, weren't you going to pick him up?
l don't know.
He said this morning he'll come himself.
What's taking him so long?
He'll be here soon, hold on.
Check out her ass. Like a peach!
lt's too bad lijima Ai is retiring.
Damn!
NSR!
Cool!

Sure! My bike is everybody's bike.
Just let me know.
Hey, l'm first!
Hey, don't cum on my bike, man!

Be careful.
What? What do you mean?
NSR. Strong thrust, don't want you crashing.

We're brothers, right?
Let's go, you delinquents, we're late.
Senior, take me for a ride next time.
Ok.
Hey, hold this for me.
Yen, play some pool tonight?
l'll be late, you guys go first.
Really? Ok.
My glasses are slipping!
Your head's too big!
Yen, stop it.
Who is it?
l don't know. lt's probably for Yen.
Shit! Where is he?

You don't know me?
But you know Meng-Lun.
Who is Meng-Lun?
Fuck! Keep pretending, Yen!
Hsing! That's enough! Enough!

Fuck! You think sorry is enough?
Let's go!
Tang! Are you ok?
Stop the bleeding. Sit down, sit down.
Fuck, it hurts! Take it easy.
Stop moving. lt hurts if you keep moving.
How many times have l told you?
Go get yourself a pager.
Your chance to talk to chicks,
you don't appreciate it.
Yeah, you get the chick and l get hit.
Who told you to be friends with Yen.
You chose the wrong friend.
Yeah, fuck you guys.
Who the hell is Meng-Lun anyway?
Tang met her once.

32E. l tell ya, 32E.
How big is 32E?
You ever seen a cantaloupe?

Last time l went to an MTV with her.
l couldn't breath when she's on top.
You always brings chicks to MTV? Liar.
And then l stuck my hands inside and...
That's absurd!
Did it feel good?
What did it feel like?
lt's not the touch,
it's the excitement of a unlockable door.
Sheng.
l heard about what happened last night.
Why do you hang out with them?
You're not like them.
Have you thought about the club l mentioned?
Did you fill in the form yet?
The band club?

What did she say to you?
Nothing. She said my hair's too long.
Told me to get a haircut.
lt's not long.
l don't know. She's annoying.
Did she ask about the fight?
No, she didn't seem to know.
Better be careful.

Let's go to the school store.
What for?
Get some Oligo drinks.
Tang, are you ok?
Yeah, l'm ok.
You still upset?
No, not really.
Hey, l got something to ask you.

Please, he has the money.
He just doesn't want the trouble.
But they keep paging you...

You've been upset all day.
Fuck you.

What are you upset about?
Me?
Yeah, it's obvious.
Who is Meng-Lun?
What?
l'm asking you, who is Meng-Lun?
l don't know.
You don't know?
Then who did you give Tang's number to,
and caused him to get beaten?
lsn't that how it is?
Let's not fight about this here.
What are you afraid of?
The whole school knows about it.
Don't be like this.
Can't l have some ordinary girl friends?
Ordinary girl friends?
You take an ordinary girl friend to MTV?
l didn't take her to any MTV?
Stop treating me like an idiot.
The whole school thinks l'm a fool.
Please, stop treating me like an idiot.
So you believe in strangers instead of me?
Yen
You're horrible!
What's up, senior?
Forget to use a condom last night?
Shut the fuck up! What's wrong with you?

How can you joke about a condom, idiot.
Han! Sheng! Get over here.
Sheng, ignore her, ignore her!
Class president.
Listen up, the thing with the pool hall,
l'm going to let that go.
What thing with the pool hall?
Don't play dumb.
Class president, that wasn't our fault,
they started it...
Alright, l said l'm letting it go.
But the band's registration is due
and you still haven't filled in the forms.
So l took the liberty of doing them for you.
We practice Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Got that?
Do we have to?
Or you want teacher to know about last night,
l'm ok with it.
Still not finished?
There's three left, hold on.
Ask me if you have any problems.

You don't have to buy mine.
Ok, bye.
You're so slow!
Just a second.
You know what you're doing?
l said just a second, l can't help it.
What's going on?
Some bastard locked the door.
Who locked the door?
l don't know, drillmaster maybe.
Let me do it.
Ok, fine, you do it.
Shut up! Be quiet!
lf it's locked, maybe we shouldn't open it.
Then don't open it.
Yen, where are you going?
Girls' bathroom.
What's in the bathroom?
Sneak a peek?
lt's too dangerous! Senior, be careful!
Han, where's my cigarettes?
You want my long life?
l don't smoke those.
What cigs? Are you sure l have it?
l don't see it.
lt's in the back. Right here.
Come on, give them back.
Damn! So many Liao Ming-Hsiung cards!
Senior, give them back!
You didn't tell me! Give me the spares!
Hey, l bought them with my money.
Don't give it to them!
Sheng, are you going to drink that?
No.
Lock the door huh? You bitch!
The drillmaster's car! Cool!
Quick, give me those.
Lock away! You fucker!
You suck! Watch me.
Hey, Hsing. That's enough.
So you're tight with the drillmaster now?
What are you talking about?
Are you responsible for the lock?
What? l have nothing to do with that.
lt wasn't you?
You didn't tell on us?
Hey, Hsing.
