Zhang Chun...
Unlucky 13
i like it though, it seems like a warning,
reminding no matter how careful you've been,
it's going to end up in a disaster.
I'm nervous.
I didn't expect that from you.
Does it look like a mortuary?
Not as bad.
There's a ghostly presence.
I could smell it everyday i come to work.
I swear that if i have the chance,
I'll set this place on fire.
And i'm your spark, right?
I'm nervous.
Not here, on my desk.
What if the security guard catches us?
I can tell him that i'm working overtime.
The desk is not iong enough.
Today is the last
day of my three months' probation period here.
I'll be an official staff tomorrow.
Is this a joke?
Haif and haif.
What do you mean?
I like you but this is aiso a joke.
There's a iost youth.
He came to this world naked.
The world is a misty forest.
He has a naked heart.
Put a spark in his heart.
There's illusion in the forest.
It's burning, burning the past.
There's wind and storm in the forest,
you can no ionger see the fire.
There's a iost youth.
He came to this world naked.
I wish one day that i can do this
on a fancy desk.
This desk is fine.
You were fired, and you said you left in giory.
I did weli in my probation period.
But your probiem is that
you could never pass your probation period.
You did weli?
Don't be so pessimistic.
I don't need your help.
Last time you helped,
the car broke down once the owner drove it outside.
Stop teasing him.
You can't tell a book by its cover.
That indian security guard doesn't seem like a ioner.
He soid me out.
You didn't bribe him?
I gave him the ten dollars i had in my pocket.
He kept saying 'thank you' to me.
And aiso helped pick up the documents on the floor.
I toid him to leave,
the lady had to get dressed.
He left and brought the police.
So he called the police soon before.
I'm not angry with him, i'm angry with the manager.
He purposely showed up iate at the police station
to ball me out.
Said he wanted more time consider what i did wrong.
He said he's got nothing against me
screwing around in the office. But he said that
i shouldn't have used the contracts as wipes.
He said i had no respects for the company.
What about the girl? Where did you pick her up?
She's gutsy.
She's from out of town.
I met her at Mary's.
I asked if she'd like a look at Hong Kong's night view.
She asked me where we can go,
i toid her to come to my office.
She asked me whether i'm working overtime,
i toid her i'm working overtime for her,
and she chuckied.
She's an illegai immigrant.
Couldn't stop crying ending up at the police station.
I tried to comfort her.
I toid her if they'll send her back to Taiwan,
I'll go look for her in Taiwan.
And then?
They're going to deport her.
I want to go to Taiwan.
Swim there?
Me?
You can go now.
Why?
You're obstructing my work.
Oh yeah?
Am i obstructing your work?
I don't like you, don't show up here again.
Zhang Chun, just go.
I didn't knock your daughter up,
why won't you like me?
You...
David, will i see you tonight?
Yes.
Thanks.
"Zhang's Toy Shop"
Did the cops beat you up?
They only iaughed at me.
I was worried for the whoie night,
you would usually call me if you stay out.
Sorry, mom.
I'm giad you are belng honest.
Your dad didn't iie to me if he did something wrong.
I'm not like him, mom.
I won't leave you behind and
run off to Nanyang like he did.
You must be tired, go take a nap.
I'll wake you up when it's time to eat.
It's alright even if you don't have a job,
i can support you.
Sit down, mom.
We have a customer.
You're dead.
Your brother's tired, leave him aione.
I shot you 6 times, & you act like you're shot over...
ten times, just like the movies.
I watched a fiim, in it the robber
ciosed his own eyes before he's dead.
That's new wave cinema, you won't understand.
Dear iisteners,
we have movie actress Fang Ling with us.
Miss Fang.
Do you still believe in love?
Some educated iisteners in Taiwan
said i'm the innocent type.
What's the difference between love and sex?
I don't think there's much of a difference.
Sex is a form of love,
and love is a form of sex.
Men who cheat,
and men who abandon thelr women,
which kind is immorai?
Your opinion?
Men who cheat.
For a woman,
the number of men she has a physicai relationship with?
This... i think it depends on
her capacity.
Capacity?
Nixon or Humphrey? Which one you like?
Look, a car fiipped over.
These are fakes.
Fake?
I went to the movie with a date once,
we were sitting on the last row.
I got a bit excited in the meantime,
and i began to stroke her hair.
She toid me to watch out for her fake hair.
I thought you weren't coming.
When it's my turn to use "the Oid Master",
you're taking your date out on a ride.
Mary is your girlfriend too.
Weli i haven't siept with her.
How's the Oid Master?
He's fine, waiting to serve you and your lady.
Brat.
Oid Master.
No probiem.
Give it a push.
It's broken down after you've worked on it,
and you call yourself a professionai.
I didn't give a damn.
They called me the Queen of waiting
I'll be fully content
if i could read a Chiung Yao fiction.
I'd hit his hand
every time he stretches his hand over.
I said i won't let you take any advantage of me...
And later he toid me that
he's not trying to do anything,
he just wanted me to hit his hand.
Zhang Chun... i'm off.
He toid me
that his mom always hit his hand when he was little.
Why won't you sleep with Mary?
I read a story that two buddies
would use the service of the same prostitute.
Have you waited for iong?
No.
Zhang Chun asked me why ain't i sleeping with you?
I'd like to ask that too.
Zhang Chun couldn't be jealous, right?
Bad girl.
Three bunnies!
This is Tsim Sha Tsui, it's normai.
Stop...
Damn! I hit the belt buckie.
Who's he? Why did you hit him?
He looks like my manager, let's go.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John.
Morning belis are ringing, morning belis are ringing.
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding.
Stop.
Are you a ghost?
My car broke down,
could you give me a ride to Hong Kong isiand?
We're out to look for ghosts.
Zhang Chun, stop kidding around, we'll give her a iift.
Come on.
We sit at the front,
please sit at the back.
Thanks.
Mercedes-Benz sports car.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
Do you think he looks like James Dean?
No, he looks like Tom Courtney.
David, she said you don't look like James Dean,
are you heart broken?
Needs a thorough check at the garage.
What did you say?
Forget it, let's go.
You know the nursery rhyme "Are you sleeping?"
You wanna sing aiong with us?
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John.
You're not singing.
I'm iistening.
I heard rich people can't sing.
They can hear others sing.
I wouldn't be singing if i was rich.
Leave her aione, will you?
Am i belng a pain in the ass?
I only asked her why she doesn't like to sing.
I like to sing.
I just haven't sung a nursery rhyme in decades,
and you're enjoying yourselves.
I shouldn't be, i'm unempioyed.
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding.
Do you know why
James Dean died in a crash?
No one remembers James Dean these days.
He was speeding.
No, he was seriously shortsighted.
What's your name?
Wen Rou. (Sweet natured, gentie)
Wen Rou?
Last name wen, first name Rou.
Strange name.
I think it's great.
But a bar girl like me can't have a name like that.
Why not?
If you're too gentie, you will be bullied.
Mary, David, Zhang Chun, Oid Master.
Oid Master is our lifeblood.
Mary is our mistress.
But the woman outperforms the car.
He's talking nonsense again.
Mary is not my mistress,
we haven't...
He's saying that he hasn't siept with Mary.
He's too shy to say that word
in front of you.
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding.
Mary is my mistress,
i've siept with Mary, right?
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping? Brother John.
This is fine, thanks very much.
I'll send someone to tow the car tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Why don't you let me waik you to the gate?
Bye.
Zhang Chun.
Did you see that?
That's what you call a car.
What's wrong?
I feel discouraged all of a sudden.
Discouraged.
I know, do you want me?
Are you thinking about her?
I like her too.
That's the first time i saw a Benz.
She's so attractive, i like her.
Wen Rou, it's a good name.
If you love her, i won't get jealous.
"Escaped Convict..."
"Trading Company Hiring"
That's the best looking car i've seen.
Thanks.
tell your boss to mall me the bill.
And the owner is the prettiest.
Where's your friend?
Who? Zhang Chun? He's not here.
I thought he's your colleague.
Him? He knows nothing about cars, he's a clerk.
Are you talking behind my back, David?
If you want to know me more, ask me directly.
What a coincidence! I didn't know you'd be here.
On the contrary, he showed up here everyday,
checking when you'll pick up your car.
I'm lucky today.
First, i run into you.
Second, His boss is not around.
And that's good iuck?
Bullshit.
Once he brought a call girl
here to fooi around, and was...
caught by my boss in the middie of the night.
Since then he was banned from coming here.
Not a call girl, she's a college girl.
We made love
on a rusty car top.
She had rusts all over her back,
i had to peel those off piece by piece,
the marks look like a world map.
You love to boast about your
love life in front of girls?
No, only to those i like.
How about a date tonight?
I'll pick you up at seven at your gate.
Yes?
Just like that?
Zhang Chun.
Yes.
Please sit down.
Name, age, origin, blood type, maritai status.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Yes, recently.
Helght, welght, 155 pounds,
same as my eldest son.
ID number, education background, work experience.
You don't seem like you have never worked before.
I haven't.
You don't seem so green.
I'm.
One pius one equals...
Two.
It took the last applicant
57 seconds to
come up with the answer.
Religion, none. Belief, none.
Idoi, none.
I asked my eldest son once,
who's his idoi.
He toid me he had none.
I wanted to cry in my room.
Sorry, i just want to take a good look at your face.
It's a weli written resume.
Start work tomorrow, probation period is 3 months.
Monthly saiary 400 dollars during your probation,
five hundred after the probation period.
Guess who's my date tonight?
Wen Rou.
Bingo! I'm impressed.
I'm a woman.
Woman!
You need financial assistance?
That's why i came here.
I feel like a i live on a woman,
every time i take your money.
But you always pay me back.
It still feels the same.
I don't feel ashamed.
We are good friends.
Mary, Mary.
I'll start working tomorrow.
Who's so biind to hire you?
A guy named Jia Kaiming.
He said i welgh as same as his eldest son.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John.
Morning belis are ringing, morning belis are...
where's mom?
Mom.
Looking for me? What is it?
What's wrong?
Don't move.
Now your hair is as dark
as elizabeth Tayior's.
Nonsense.
I'm going to work tomorrow.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I've just found out.
We can still manage financially,
if you don't want to work, it's fine.
I'm a grown up,
i can't take pocket money from you.
Beat it!
We had a deal that
we'll take turns to use the car,
it's my turn and you're taking the car out.
Oid Master, help me out here!
What are you doing just standing there?
Give it a push.
I thought up a great way to woo girls.
When i like a girl,
i'd keep following her,
and I'll call out her name
every time she turns back to look at me,
I'll keep calling her untii she falls in love with me.
Wen Rou.
Cheers...
what are you doing here, brother?
Zhang Chun, my big brother wen Qiang.
He's my oider brother.
I've only just found out that she has a brother.
Where do you work, Mr. Zhang?
I'm a small potato at Jin De Trading.
I just started work there today.
Have fun! I've been here for a whiie, i'm leaving now.
What's wrong with you?
I'll take care of your bill.
Don't make your friend to spend so much.
Yes.
Thank you.
My brother... what's with you?
Let's go.
Why?
I couldn't stand this,
maybe it's my destiny!
Thanks.
My brother and i are ciose,
that's why he paid for me,
you are too sensitive.
I could smell it,
the rich are all the same, they think i stink.
But they don't know that i think they stink too,
no matter how much perfume they put on.
Stop the car...
Attention! Take cover! Beware of flying bullets.
Take cover.
Let's go.
If it was me, i would have ciosed my eyes.
Let's go.
alright... there's nothing to see here...
Go away! There's nothing to see.
alright... go!
Move over, there's nothing to see.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
Sure.
What is it?
I'm here to pay you back.
What happened? You and wen Rou...
i'm here to pay you back.
Wait a second, I'll go out with you for a whiie.
In a Hemingway novel,
a man toid his friends that
sleeping with a fat woman
is as comfy as sleeping on a stack of hay.
Says who?
But there's no hay stacks here in Hong Kong.
Exactly.
The best place to talk about women are in the loo.
"Shootout on Busy Street Last Night"
"weapon missing"
Someone's taking his time,
maybe he has hemorrolds.
Right!
I bet that the room next door is the ladies'
washroom of Deji Trading.
Could be.
Strange, but those girls were never interested in us.
Go to heli.
My wife loves bean sprouts.
I love bean curds.
You love bean curds?
So does my wife.
Right...
who's he?
He's new here.
Is that so?
I'll talk to him, yes.
The manager wants to have a word with you.
With me?
The manager looking for me?
Manager.
Please sit down.
Yes.
Were you with a girl called wen Rou
last night?
Yes.
Miss wen's brother is a friend of mine,
her father is a friend of our Chairman.
Her father's rolis Royce is very famous in town,
i guess you've seen that car.
They are a very happy family,
Her father and brother are very protective of her,
they are a ciose family.
I was on the phone with her brother,
he informed that my staff is dating his sister.
He's not oid fashioned,
he's nothing against his sister
dating a white collar
But he likes people who know
thelr roles in life.
He asked me to tell you not to see his sister again.
I don't want to interfere with your personai life.
That's my principai when i hired you yesterday.
Even though most managers would...
prefer to hire people with religious backgrounds,
i admire your character.
At this day and age,
we need youth who has his own character.
Risky? Yes. But you're energetic.
This is your first day here,
as the manager here,
it's my duty to
think the best for all my staff.
Stop seeing wen Rou.
You can go now.
Zhang Chun.
We need good staff.
Do you know what this chair's made of?
Genuine leather.
Work hard,
and you'll be sitting in a chair like this one day.
Wen Rou... is that you?
Zhang Chun.
Wen Rou.
Zhang Chun.
They tried to stop me from seeing you. At first...
i accepted, but then i reallzed i couldn't leave you.
We're tied together, we're inseparabie.
I have to see you again.
I didn't reallze that
my love for you started out because of my humillation.
It's not fair to you.
I've been waiting for you.
I can see you any time, anywhere.
When i wash my face, when i brush my teeth,
in the loo, when i wear a tie, when i wear my socks.
When i eat, when i read the paper.
I love when they shot with soft iens in movies.
Love and soft iens.
The shot from the fiower to you, from you to me.
Very soft, very gentie.
My love.
Why do you smoke like this?
Doubie the pleasure.
You've never talked about your mother.
She left my father soon after i was born.
Wasn't your dad so rich back then?
He's just bought his first roiis Royce then.
Your mom must be a very lovely girl.
At this age,
i don't think any girls could leave a roiis Royce.
I guess so.
But the girls are cute now.
Boid, dare to enjoy and love.
This is a great place,
i should bring David here,
see if he can find anything useful for the Oid Master.
You've said that severai times.
Where are you taking me tonight?
You've been every where.
What about the cafes?
You wanna go?
Do they welcome females?
I've never been to those.
If you're brave enough, I'll take you.
I want to go to all the places you've been.
really?
Could i?
It's your call.
How should we do it?
I've got an idea.
Let's go. What's to scare?
I hope you will see what i've seen.
Try it on.
This one's nice,
so's this.
This is the best.
This one...
This is better.
Thanks.
Put this on.
Bye.
"Blue Sky Cafe"
Don't speak.
Welcome.
What are you doing?
Any particular hostess you're asking for?
No, you can send whoever you like.
I think we should go.
We'll leave soon, don't worry.
Come with me.
How iong will you be staying?
We're just hanging out here.
Come.
You smell good, are you wearing perfume?
It's his first time here.
Don't do anything to him, let him sit there.
Come on, let's go over there.
will you pay me for a ionger time?
You have small hands,
just like mine.
I've toid you not to move.
What? You think i'm too aggressive?
What are you doing?
I'll teach you, little boy.
You're a woman?
Come! There's a woman here!
A woman!
What do you want to do?
Don't let them leave.
Get the girl.
Come here soon, Mr. policeman!
Leave now! I'll deal with them.
Stop it...
That's her! She's teasing us.
What does she want?
She's a woman too, what for?
Zhang Chun.
Catch her.
Hurry!
Catch her.
Don't move.
That's him.
Zhang Chun.
This way.
Mr. Wen, you have three minutes.
Thanks.
I wait for your answer.
You're ruined my dad's reputation,
and my sister's innocence.
I know you want to ruin me too.
You're welcome.
Exactly three minutes, i've always been punctual.
Sure.
How is he?
Stomach ache.
Chun.
Let him rest, he'll get better.
He didn't say a word to me...
He's waiting for me...
Control yourself...
Think about yourself, dad, and me,
think about our home.
He's waiting for me...
Are you sure you don't want a drink?
Are you sick?
He's in love.
Zhang Chun.
If she's really that great,
why isn't she here?
He's gone bad! He's completely changed.
You're not coming?
You've all gone nuts!
I knew you would come here sooner or later.
I know your type,
you don't know your role in life.
I don't like people like you.
I don't like you, Zhang Chun.
Damn it! They are for real?
David.
David...
David.
Wreck it!
Push...
David...
David.
Let's go!
David.
Zhang Chun, don't be scared by them.
David.
Zhang Chun.
Taxi.
Please drive him to Queen Mary Hospital right away.
Sure.
Brother.
Chun...
Taxi.
"Wen Residence"
who's that?
Zhang Chun.
Zhang Chun...
That's the missing gun!
We don't know whether there's any bullets left.
tell everyone on this case to be on full alert.
Yes, sir.
Keep an eye on the murderer's usual contacts.
What about Miss wen?
I'll talk to her father right away.
Sure.
Wen Rou.
What else do you want?
You've ruined us.
I've been calling your name.
He blocked me, i couldn't see you.
I have to see you again.
You've ruined me, it's my fault.
Forgive me, i must see you again.
What else do you want?
I want to go to all the places you've been.
I'll be waiting for you.
Where's he at? He tells me everything,
even when he's made mistakes.
Western police Station
He'll be back.
He said he won't leave me on my own
like his father did.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John.
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing.
Ding dong ding.
Zhang Chun.
Wen Rou.
Zhang Chun.
You ied them here?
No...
Zhang Chun...
No!
Zhang Chun...
Zhang Chun
Miss wen.
Don't shoot, Zhang Chun.
It's not loaded.
There was no bullets!
He's a iost youth,
He came to this world naked.
He arrived naked, and left naked.
I still remember him.
Completely naked,
Completely naked.
