Hey', are you ready?
Yes, I am ready
We want to wear shorts!
Hey, take a picture of me!
We want to wear shorts!
Settle down!
This behavior is unacceptable!
Everybody, calm down!
Cut it out!
Quit messing around
I said, no photos!
We want to wear shorts!
4321
Show a little respect!
We want to wear shorts!
Settle down
This will not work
This is wrong
Step back!
This school is a liberal and democratic place
We respect the opinions of our students
However, we feel that inciting students
to take off their skirts at morning assembly
was highly inappropriate
We had no choice
Eighty percent of students want to wear shorts!
But you lot say no is no
That's right! You say we can vote on it
But in the end you still won't let us!
Why do we even bother voting?
Isn't that right? Isn't it?
Yes! -Classmates!
We want -to wear shorts!
Xiao Shu
Dad... -Silence!
Are you Mr. Liam Chen?
Yes
Are you guardian of these two girls? -Yes
Please step this way
So...when dealing with student problems
We usually start by looking at
their family background
Our documents indicate
that you are their elder brother?
That's correct
He's my dad!
Disruptive student behavior
is often a sign of problems at home
Dad, no need to tell him anything!
What does it matter
We have nothing to be ashamed of
There are no problems at home
My two daughters are perfectly normal
For these past ten years
I have cared for them as well as anyone can
Although, on paper
I can only be their elder brother
But actually
I'm their father
Hurry up!
Faster!
Reach forwards!
Hey!
What?
When you're done, don't rush off to shower
There are snacks in our usual spot
Is that so?
You'll see
Fuck, he's such an asshole!
He's like this every time. What to do?
You go sort it out
Look at you, just a load of talk
No way -Son of a bitch
Dude, what are you eating? Are you hiding food?
It's nothing
Yeah right, you're still chewing!
I'm not!
Where is it? You gotta share!
Don't be so stingy!
He's hiding food somewhere!
Nobody move!
Who was peeping through the hole
in the girls changing room?
Show yourself!
Mabel, what are you doing?
This is the guys changing room, get out!
Out!
Screw you, you're delusional!
Who wants to see that?!
Out!
Shut up!
No one wants to own up, is that it?
Get out! Didn't you understand?
So what!
Out! -You can't scare me!
You're not scared?
How about this?
You like to shake it, don't you?
Spray it with BenGay!
Give me that, dickhead
Take a look at this! Streakers!
Alert the neighbors!
Come take a look!
Don't you run away!
If I catch you, you're dead!
Hey!
Stop taking pictures!
Come on, just one photo
Check out these beauties!
Such a mercenary
The leave slip?
Leave slips are hard to come by these days...
So...where are you two off to with the slip?
What do you want with these photos in the student magazine?
Officer, Sir
I found these subversive magazines
on the grass by the pool
I may have been wrong about the boys in the swim team
They didn't dig the hole outside the girls toilets
Sir
I believe rebels
have infiltrated the school
Well done, Mabel!
You've earned a merit
Thank you, Sir!
Liam, you stay! Go face the wall
I'm saving your ass, why the face?
Officer, Ma'am
Here's the new draft of our student magazine
Along with the edits you gave us last time.
Please, take a look
I told you last time about these two pieces
They are not in keeping with KMT ideals!
Pull them!
But Ma'am
We've revised the parts you pointed out
And several literature teachers have looked them over
They all say... - Which teachers?
Ask them to come talk with me
Keep on messing around
And I'll withhold publication for the semester
Why?
Ma'am, the magazine is funded by the students...
Do not question my decisions
You, go face the wall!
What the hell?
Our nation is fighting Communist China
And all you can do is spread these useless ideas
Yes, Ma'am
If it weren't for us ideology education officers
this school would have gone up in flames
Yes, Officer, anything you say
You rebels had better watch yourselves
Do not even think about
messing up the student magazine
Ever since that Oppressor Yin came to our school
We've had nothing but trouble!
Fuck! If we don't stick together, we're screwed
It's simple...rough her up a bit
Beat up a woman?
Just the job for a sissy like you!
Clamp your dick between your legs
And come with me, then
Fuck off! You're so full of shit!
There's a toilet next door. Want to compare sizes?
You lot are all talk and no action
That hurts!
Sorry
The Judo team was busted last week
The captain got a major demerit
Coach tried to stand up for him, but it was no use
Who knows who it'll be next week
It's weird
Why is everyone getting busted lately?
Is Yin really that good at her job?
They know everything we're up to...
I think...
there's a spy among us
Someone's coming!
What are you all doing! Smoking?
Mabel!
What is this?
Weren't you all big talkers? Chicken shit
What the hell! -It's you
Liam -Yeah
Run along after your wife!
Woo!
Aaron, go change your diaper!
Your tampon, more like
Shut up!
One book, NT$10!
Two for NT$20
One book, NT$10!
Two for NT$20
One book, NT$10!
Two for NT$20
There's psychology, philosophy, and photography
What do you want?
Kiddo, do you have the banned magazine, Freedom?
Oh, give me a break
Don't be scared
Do I look like a police officer?
I have been 'awakened'
Sir, today we have Democracy but no Freedom
Copies of Freedom were all busted
by KMT last week
How about Formosa?
How much? -NT$80
I'll take one... -Thanks
Keep the change
That's nice of you. Thank you!
Thank you, sir!
Remember to hold the next issue for me!
Thank you sir, come again
One book, NT$10!
Two for NT$20
Liam -Aaron
So you two are over here on a date!
No wonder you're always bugging me for leave slips
Give me a break
We're making a living here! What date?
Attention, please!
The head of police
has graced us with his presence today
Would everybody please take a break
We will resume shortly. Apologies!
You!
So sneaky!
What?
Selling banned books like this
and snitching on us to the ideology officers!
Say it louder, why don't you!
They're all printed by your family, anyway
What was that? Taking advantage of me?
Can't I?
What are you looking at?
Here's 500
But Aunty
We have to pay for extra classes next week
Tell Mabel to go easy with her money
It's hard work for her poor mom
But... -Good boy!
Loser buys dinner tonight!
Get ready...
Hang on, this isn't fair
you two swim every day!
Fine, we'll give you a ten second head start
Nah, five seconds is good!
OK!

I've got it!
Mabel!
Liam!
Stop messing around!
Aaron's such an idiot!
Let's find Aaron
Aaron
An acrostic poem, very clever!
Did you think I wouldn't notice if you hid
the message in the first character of each line?
Read it
Read it!
I am not your pet dog
I'm telling you
I am in charge at this school
What I say goes!
Yes. Of course!
Everything you say is right
Everything we say is horseshit
You have no shame!
What is this haircut, a display of rebellion?
Aren't you treating us just like dogs now?
You gave me this 'haircut'!
It completely conforms to your standards
How dare you! -How dare you!
Shut up! -Shut up!
You shut up!
Look at you, you're good for nothing
other than making noise!
You're planning to rebel!
Is this all you've got?
You're nothing but noise!
You are a disgrace!
I'm just a dog!
What are you doing? -Watch me bark!
Get in here!
Get in!
Stop that racket!
Aaron
Just shave your head
lf l shave it, I lose
Why do you care so much?
You can't beat these officers
I was just imagining...
everyone dancing in the playground
How happy we'd be!
Aaron, quit dreaming, OK?
Look! It's only hair!
What does it matter? Just shave it off!
Sorted. Let's get ice cream
Aaron, get out here
Let's go
Liam
HEY
do you want to go out?
Huh?

Oh no!
Fuck! Crap!
A remote-controlled timer?
Impressive, very impressive!
Good one!
Fuck! I almost pissed myself
One person dancing alone is a rebellion
But if the whole school dances together
That's the will of the people
We have to organize a dance in the playground
We're all fighters here
Are you in?
Here, your turn to draw
You're my best friend
If you don't join us I'll be lonely!
If you're with me, come along!
Idiot!
You're on the swimming team, why the smokes?
Won't your girlfriend be mad when she finds out?
She's feisty, isn't she?
She's not my girlfriend
Oh?
What happened?
She never was
Liam, having fun?
Liam, isn't this fun?
Where have you two been lately?
Nowhere special
You never come along!
Don't get up to no good with Liam
Otherwise...
Otherwise what?
You'll snitch on us?
That's right, I will
Mabel Lin
Mabel
What's the deal with you and Liam?
You want to marry him or what?
Always with the questions
No!
But he told me
you aren't his girlfriend
He's going after this girl in the junior year
If so, then let me be your boyfriend
Mabel
It's time to go
The night market's about to start
Show your warm welcome, everyone
ls Hanako the dancer still here?
Hanako?
She ran off when we were in Taichung last week
with my musician and ten grand in cash
You're her son! You have to pay her debts
I'm not her son
Don't lie!
I saw you take money from her last time, so pay up!
Don't worry!
Your mother's just changed workplaces, that's all
If there are any problems, we're both here for you
Mabel!
Let me help you
I'll do it, Mabel
So you came
If he wants to come
he can catch up with us in a minute
Come with me!
Stand up
Crouch down
Stand up
Stop fidgeting!
Whose fault is it that you're all here?
Not your Ideology Officers
Not your teachers
It's your own fault!
No respect!
Vandals!
Fond of drawing pictures, are you?
Pictures should be drawn on paper!
Why draw on the assembly stage?
You like poetry, too?
So the new student magazine is here
Hello, Officer
Is this nonsense all you've got?
You with the glasses!
Students
What is your duty?
It is to study!
Without education, what would you be?
You'd be scum!
On the assembly stage!
Have you no sense of patriotism, no shame?
How can you call yourself a student
with no shame?
Hello? Hello!
Reconnect the microphone!
Fix it!
The editorial team...
Get out here!
What are you playing at? Don't move, stop!
Hey you, stay where you are!
Don't move!
Special! Special!
Take a look at this! Streakers!
Special! Special!
When I catch you, you're dead!
Stop dancing!
Editorial team, get out here!
Rebellion!
You are all expelled!
Do not dance!
I'm not too bad, am I?
Be my girlfriend
and you'll have all the leave slips you like
We're all free
I know...
I wasn't top of your list
But I'm the best second choice around
I want you to hold me like this always
Hold me like this forever and ever
Never let me go, OK?
I love you
What else?
I love you
That's right
sa rang yo
You're not listening properly, sa rang 'hae' yo!
What did I just say?
Sa rang yo
sa rang 'hae' yo
Getting married?

This is the largest scale student movement
Since the KMT government retreated to Taiwan 40 years ago
The students gathered here today
are protesting for academic independence
but also make four key demands
Firstly, dissolution of Parliament and complete reelection
Secondly, the call for a national affairs conference...
Getting married?
Shit
What the fuck? Let's go!
Think you're a big deal, you newlywed?
Fuck
Let's go! Hurry up!
Fuck you! Go eat shit!
Rebels with a cause!
Long live freedom!
Hey!
Ms. Mabel, don't you still have a class?
Ms. Cindy is standing in for me
Taking time off for a date?
Yeah, right! l wish
We're back!
What took you so long?
Everyone else is slaving away out there
and you're in here sleeping
Fuck, your clothes!
Hey, we're ready to go
Lemme just shower and change
I'm filthy
Liam
Where are the towels?
Bottom drawer
There aren't any
You got a T-shirt?
There should be some in the closet
There aren't
There are! Here
We can't wait any longer!
A-Ping says that the riot police are coming
Really?
OK, I'll go with you
Wait one second
I need to get paints, brushes and everything
We really don't have time!
OK. Tidy up a bit for me
Then let's meet in a bit at the plaza entrance
Hello
What is it?
He just went out
What?
Very dashing -Fuck!
Mabel, that hurt!
What took you so long?
Shut up, it was the bus!
No need
I thought you're only free on weekends?
Surprise inspection!
Why is it that when I call Aaron lately
He doesn't answer his phone and keeps sending you?
Get on!
He's already at the plaza
I'll take you there
Wait!
I want to go to the shoe store
What for?
A present!
Don't fart!
Boom!
Hey!
This is the style Aaron likes, right?
I don't know
Red or blue?
How should I know?
You're with him every day
How can you not know?
Hey, you're his girlfriend!
Red or blue?
Make up your own mind!
Which is better?
You're a real pain
Excuse me, how much are these?
That pair is NT$3,200
That expensive! Are they coated in gold?
My prices are the cheapest around
Hey!
Is he size 11 or 12?
11.5
Can I have the blue ones in size 11.5?
I'll go check
We protest!
They're... -Student ID
...always putting us down
Student ID
Miss, student ID!
He's my boyfriend
Why do you need my student ID?
Excuse me
If students were to fall off buildings
they would say
it was suicide
He's over there
You'd say you didn't believe them, and they'd say
Aaron
What are you doing here?
Mabel, what are you doing here?
Happy Birthday To You
I don't believe it. -My birthday?
Isn't it two weeks away?
Let's celebrate today!
I might not be free next week
I don't believe it!
Fellow college students from all over the country
We are gathered here today
Is that a nicer view than me?
You haven't seen me in forever
and you won't even look at me
Not true! -There is peace
Freedom, and equality
Student autonomy
University reform
We're on strike!
Today, a policeman told me
foreigners can't take part in the protests
Otherwise they'll deport me!
I said, Excuse me, Officer
I'm Taiwanese!
I have a Taiwanese ID!
Thank you
I would like to share my favorite poem with you all
It's a poem about love and equality
If we are waves
Welling up from the same ocean
If we are flowers
Growing from the same branch
With different seasons...to blossom
Aaron, isn't that the riot squad?
Maybe it's the police
Don't worry
Now
Here is a message for the police
You can cut off our electricity, it's no big deal!
We have fireflies to light the way!
Aaron, I love you!
Let's continue to recite poems and sing songs!
You aren't scared?
Of what?
The Parliament has been controlled
by those old bastards for 40 years
That looks like a plain clothes policeman
By the sign over there
I just saw him taking photos
Scared he'll haul us in for interrogation?
You are scared!
I knew you were just along for the ride
You're so clueless!
If I had known earlier
I would have come with sausages to sell
These days anything with 'democracy' on the label
goes for twice the price
Come on! We're here for a real, pure purpose
Pure! Let's see how pure you are
What?
I am all about fair treatment of friends
It's for you
Is that so?
Hey! How come he gets a present
But I don't?
Show the goods and they all come running
Of course, where's my present?
Check it out, check it out!
You're crazy!
A five
and a six
Pass
You want to pass for the six too?
King
That's it?
A pair of 13, a pair of 2, and I'm...
Wait!
A flush!
And a three of clubs for you!
You Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
How is that even possible?
How can I have such shitty luck?
Pay up!
Hurry up!
Let's go home!
Wasted!
Fuck your fucking father's rotten ass!
Disgusting fuck!
30")'
He goes nuts when he's drunk
Nothing but a waste of money!
It's ridiculous, him getting wrecked
like this every week
Every week?
Didn't you know?
It's true!
He's a boozing whore when you're not looking
What are you talking about?
You...coming all this way with the liquor
to trick your husband back home
Thought you had it all planned out, didn't you?
You see right through me!
You're such a smart girl
but you don't even know
that your husband lives in a whorehouse!
