Do you know what you're saying?
Bo-Chu said it wasn't him.
We're friends, man.
Friends? Then isn't Tang our friend?
Why didn't we call him up?
He didn't say he wanted to come.
Did we ask him?
Did anyone ask him?
He can choose for himself.
Yen, he took a hit for you,
and we teased him with the bottles.
We were trying to cheer him up,
who knew he couldn't take ajoke.
How long have we known the guy?
He's got face to save.
Why make things ugly?
Make things ugly? He's the one avoiding us.
Forget it.
Bo-Chu!
You better have nothing to do with the lock.
Fuck! l said it's not me!
lt's cool, we know. Take it easy.
(Manners Righteousness Honesty Modesty)
What are you doing? Stop fooling around.
Keep going. One two three four...
Count it out loud!
Ok, stop! Roll call.
Lu Jie.
Zuo Xun-Yang.
Sheng.
Hsiao Yu-Ruo.
Pei-Pei.
Han.
Yun.
Yun?
Stop calling her name.
How many times has she ditched practice?
What do you want to watch?
Anything's fine, you decide.
l want to go home.
Yen.
To you...
l'm special, right?
(Yen, thanks for the times we had together...)
Senior.
The game tonight, you sure you're not going?
l'm busy tonight, l'm not going.
lf not the game, at least have dinner.
lt's ok. You guys go without me.
Last week Liao Ming-Hsiung had only one hit.
lt was a triple.
The ball flew deep to the right field,
which got him on to third.
Here's a breaking ball...
Swing and a miss.
Liao's condition really isn't up to par lately.
lt was a good chance to score,
but three strikes and he's out of there.
That ends the third inning for the Eagles
with runners left on second and third.
Hello?
Tang, it's me.
Yeah, l know.
l want to ask you a favor.
What is it?
l wrote a letter to Yen.
Can you give it to him for me?
Why don't you give it to him yourself?
l don't want to give it to him in person.
Please?
Fuck! Moron!
ls that for real?
Please don't be discouraged,fans!
Let's cheer for our pitcher Kuo Jian-Cheng!
Kuo Jian-Cheng! Go!
Go! Eagles! Go! Kuo Jian-Cheng!
Let's go. Beer at my place, on me.
But the game's not over yet.
Let's go, pisses me off!
What they say on TV must be true.
They make so much money already,
how could they be dumping games?
Are you retarded?
How could anyone miss that ball?
The wind was too strong.
Didn't you see those gangsters?
You think they're here to watch baseball?
Why not?
Hey, senior!
Hey, Tang!
Let's go get the bikes first.
What's the hurry?
Let's go!
Chao, let's go.
Not gonna finish the game?
Lousy game today.
ls that so?
Hey, l got something for you.
No way! Liao Ming-Hsiung!
That's right. l told you he was at my house.
l don't believe that.
The ball's right in your face!
Ok, someday l'll go to Ping-Tung.
l'll ask him myself.
Right, you think l don't know you?
You'll never go by yourself.
Of course you're going with me,
see if you're bullshitting.
Fine, we'll go together.
Ok, you said so.
Almost forgot...
Yun asked me to give you this letter.
(To Yen)
You hold on to it.
Give it to me when we get to my place.
Come on, let's go.
Hey!
What?
ls everything ok between you and Yun?
What?
ls everything ok between you and Yun?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Make a stop, l need to make a call.
Yen! Yen! Yen!
What should we do?
Call an ambulance! Yen!
What's the number, 119?
He's waking up!
Hey, are you alright?
lt hurts!
Where are we?
No way! Memory loss?
Really? Just like on TV!
Do you know who l am?
Of course.
Be careful!
How long was l out?
About thirty seconds.
l think it was two three minutes.
Not that long!
Yes it was! We parked our scooters...
Less than a minute...
Shut the fuck up!
Let's get you to the hospital.
No need, l'm ok.
Do you remember what we were doing?
Wait...l...
l think it's better you have a check up.
Let's go to the hospital.
None of us has a license.
lt'll be trouble if we go.
l just fell off, no big deal.
Let's go back to my place.
You sure you don't need a check up?
l'm ok. Let go.
l think he's ok, right?
What? l'm alright!
Stop looking at me like that.
Go on, don't mind me
So many beers
Come on, take'em.
Chao, hurry up!
Hey, they're your dad's.
lt's ok, don't worry about it.
What's wrong? Drink up.
You sure you're ok to drink?
l'm ok. Cheers!
Ok. Cheers!
Damn! Cold and bitter!
Go have some fun.
Ok, let's play some cards.
Hey, l'm gonna rest. You guys keep playing.
l don't think it's a good idea.
You shouldn't sleep after a concussion,
or you'll never wake up.
Fuck, really?
Yeah, l read it on a magazine.
l've heard of that as well.
So what do we do?
Just let him lie down.
We'll wake him up every half hour.
How about that?
Ok, sounds good. Remember to call me.
lt should be ok, right?
Ok, l'll wake him at eleven-thirty.
Who's next?
Me.
And then?
l'll do it.
And then?
No need for that.
Whoever's awake, just remember to call him.
Yeah, ok. Let's play cards.
Who's turn?
My turn. Five.
We begin with this breaking news.
Baseball gambling has become more severe.
Today, the prosecution subpoenaed three
China Times Eagles players.
They are Huang Yu-Teng,
Tsai Ming-Hung and Chen Ching-Kuo.
The prosecusion believes
the three players are guilty of
taking dumping fees and bribes
and invitations to Macou for vacations.
All three players deny these charges.
The investigation, up until now,
lf you still remember that...
there have been 8 members of the
Eagles who's been subpoenaed.
(To Yen)
Students in the back, move faster.
The weekly meeting is starting.
Han, ditch the meeting, let's go to the Tree.
Now?
Yeah.
You go get Chao and the others.
l'll go get Sheng.
Ok. See you later.
Look at your tie.
Sheng, let's go to the Tree.
Everyone's going.
Let's go.
Don't go!
Hey, Tang! You waited long?
No.
What do you want?
The meeting's boring.
So it's more interesting here?
Come out for a smoke is not bad.
Senior, l'll have one too.
Let's go see Yen at the hospital.
The hospital? Now?
Sure, haven't been there for a while.
l'm not going. l'm going back to school.
We'll get a demerit if we're caught.
Yeah. lt's better we go back.
The drillmaster's strict these days.
Don't be like this.
Been so long since we last went together.
lt's been awhile since we were all together.
But if his mom sees us together,
she might get more pissed.
Don't we go there ourselves?
We don't have to do everything together?
Raise of hands, who wants to go.
We should have taken Yen to the hospital.
He said he didn't want to go.
Tang, who was riding him that day?
lt was me. So what?
You don't have a license.
No l don't. So what?
Do you even know how to ride?
He told me to make that stop!
That's right. Everything's Yen's fault.
Make the stop, no hospital, all his fault!
Now he's in a coma,
you say whatever you want!
Hey, Chao!
l'm going back.
Senior!
What's the matter?
Sheng got booked!
What happened?
He and l...We borrowed Bo-Chu's bike.
Just when he started the engine,
two cops showed up and took Sheng away.
What should we do?
Let's go!
Go where?
Police station! Let's go!
(Hsin-Chu Police Department)
Excuse me. l'm looking for Sheng.
The one who stole the motorcycle?
l suppose.
Go ahead.
Why is he cuffed?
That's the rule.
He's not going to run away.
That's the rule.
May l ask, has his report been filed?
Look, what kind of report is this?
Go talk to him.
Why didn't you tell the truth?
What truth?
Your report is bullshit,
a stranger gave you the bike?
What else could l say?
Bo-Chu must have stolen the bike.
Just tell the truth!
But he'll be expelled.
You're thinking for him now?
He's close to being expelled.
l only have one demerit, it's ok.
This is the police station,
not the drillmaster's office!
This is not smoking or ditching class,
this is notjust a slap on the wrist.
lf you take the blame for this,
you're gonna get a police record!
Senior. Just leave me alone.
Do you know what you're saying?
A police record is permanent.
Tell the truth, no one will blame you!
l said leave me alone!
You didn't steal the bike!
Why are you taking the blame?
Don't be stupid!
You think this is heroic?
Fine, suit yourself.
Sheng got booked.
l know.
Go to the police.
What for?
Turn yourself in!
Tell the police you stole the bike.
l stole it, but he got caught riding it.
Got nothing to do with me.
How can you say that?
You stole the bike, not Sheng!
He is in the station covering for you.
What the fuck's wrong with you!
He wanted to borrow it.
l didn't force him to ride it.
You're lending around a stolen bike!
Sheng's gonna get a police record,
and it's none of your business?
Just because you're afraid of being expelled,
he has to take your wrap?!
Bo-Chu.
l've known you for so long...
l can't believe you're like this.
Drillmaster, l stole the bike,
why does Sheng have to be expelled too?
That's the school's decision.
School's decision? This is education?
expel the delinquents and everything's ok.
Hsing, you know better,
how can you say such irresponsible words.
l'm taking the responsibility!
Why are you expelling Sheng too?
You think this is what l want?
l keep telling you, don't get in trouble.
Who do you think it's for?
For yourself, of course!
The less of us, the easier for you...
Drillmaster, l'll take what l deserve.
Please let Sheng go.
You didn't steal the bike, did you?
l don't wish for you two to be expelled.
l stole the bike.
l know you won't tell me who stole it.
l stole the bike! Damn it!
Hsing, please be quiet.
Don't disturb the other students.
Students, look at the blackboard please...
Sheng, Sheng...
Hi, Yun, you're here.
Tang.
Fuck you! Bo-Chu!
Tang, where are you going?
Chao, come back.
Fuck!
Motherfucker! Bo-Chu!
Just keep running, asshole!
Attention, this is the drillmaster speaking,
all students remain inside the classrooms.
Do not cause any disturbance.
All students back to your classrooms.
Do not stay on the corridors.
All teachers help maintain order.
What do you want from me?
Hsing, what the hell do you want from me?
Aren't we brothers?
We're brothers!
l didn't want things to turn out like this.
l was afraid to take the fault!
l was scared!
l'm a coward!
l'm sorry!
lt's all my fault, ok?
Hsing.

We tie our blue bows,
chanting lovely songs.
We run slowly towards our dream,

Departure is the beginning of goodbye.
Two years ago you sat in this auditorium,
As freshmen, you took small steps,
you caterpillars learned the school anthem.
Now, you really are graduating.
My dear blue butterflies,
the days ahead are sure to be bumpy.
Believe that you have a pair of strong wings.
Let's fly with courage! Fly beautifully!
We'll do just fine.
Graduation photos, bridge above the water,
the never ending staircase, l smile softly.
Back to school again, the trees grew taller,
cicadas still clamoring, who did l forgot?
A swarm of blue butterflies,

Flapping their wings with the breeze,

We tie our blue bows,
Chanting lovely songs.
We run slowly towards our dream,

Let's sing together.
A swarm of blue butterflies,
