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!

What?
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!
Filthy bastard!
Go shower and get into bed
But tonight was really important
Fighting with the police feels heroic, doesn't it?
Go shower!
Good boy
I'll give you your birthday present later
OK
Are you ready?
OK
Watch this!
OK

Oh boy
So yours are the red ones right?
No?
No
The blue ones then
Wrong again
Oh?
The color isn't important
So long as they're from you
I love them
It's all Liam's fault
What was he doing buying the same shoes?
And not telling me!
It's fine for you
Wearing two pairs of shoes at once!
I love you
What did you say?
I love you
Where did you pick up this mushy talk?
I love you
What do you want...
Then tell me
Do you prefer the red or the blue?
How come you're suddenly so horny?
Don't be scared!
Taiwan's never had an opportunity like this before
If we succeed, we will become somebody
Go to sleep
When you wake up, Taiwan will be different
We'll be free
If the police come
remember to be polite
and don't fight them
You're a great actor
Aren't you police supposed to catch the bad guys?
And now you're getting off with one of them
Fuck faggot!
Thought you could run away? -Sorry
Screw you
We made a note of the number plate
Don't you dare play dumb again
I definitely saw two of them
Where's the other one? Go get him
I threw the rock
But is it ok
that you threw firecrackers at people?
Tell the truth, Aaron
How could you have controlled the bike
and thrown the rock at the same time?
Whatever, I'll find a way to pay for the damage
Pay?
I don't want your money!
I want him kicked out of school!
Sorry...l'll talk to the kid
It's fine. All taken care of
Really?
Fuck, I want to smash someone!
Fuck! -Aaron!
Motherfuckers!
Aaron!
You can hit me
Liam, don't be stupid
Can't we all just be friends
like before?
Awesome!
A-Ping, what are you celebrating with all that beer?
Girl, give us a break!
We don't need an occasion to drink, come on
With food and all! -Yeah, to go with the booze
Aaron
Are you hiding something?
No
You are!
I am not!
You're the one with bad news for me
You're a clever one
Two things, in fact
Which one do you want first?
Two! I don't want to hear any at all
No!
I asked for a transfer to the Taipei branch
It was approved
What for?
To keep an eye on you, both of you!
Really?
Perfect timing!
What do you mean?
Now Liam won't have to bother
looking for a new roommate
Right, Liam?
Huh?
I was kicked out
I'll be called for military service soon
Kiss!
Stop messing around!
Wedding toast! Faster
Wedding toast!
Kiss!
I'm telling you, don't pretend
Who, who, who
Not me
What a sissy
It's you
Kiss!
That's enough
That's enough!
Come on! We're all friends here
Just kiss!
Come on!
It'll be over in a second
One more!
Long live friendship!
How could you do that?
It's OK, don't worry!
Play my theme song!
I don't want to live here anymore
Don't you want to know why?
Look at me!
Take a good look
Go and buy some booze
It's just military service
I'll give you one last chance
Old rules apply
The gods made their decision
A bet is a bet
I want to hold you like this forever and ever
Do you really want
to hold me like this forever and ever?
Hurry up and get the booze
You can hold me when you're back. Go!
Mabel!
My dearest friends
Thank you for coming to my wedding!
Every man has a gun
The pansies are coming
better run!
Gay boy, gay boy, gay boy!
Congratulations. -Thank you, I'm so happy!
Thank you my darling husband
You better be good to him, Simon
Simon? You mean Simone!
Shut up, you bitch!
OK, OK. You two talk it out
I'm going to go mingle
No need to look
Neither of them came
You girls! Letting friendships sour over a man
Look around
We all have a history with the other
But we're still one big fuckin' happy family
But as soon as there's an actual party
They put all grudges aside
and get tarted up for the ball
Sounds great, right?
Come on
Let me give that ungrateful excuse
of a man the whipping he deserves!
What are you doing?
Here we go!
Hello
It's Mabel
How.. how are you doing?
I'm doing OK
Come on, it's been over ten years
And now all you can do is make small talk?
OK
Now, both of you, close your eyes!
And experience the dialogue between your souls
The left tit says, Sis, I miss you so much!
The right tit says, I miss you too!
Why are we doing this?
Why is it that we're so close
and yet our souls are so far apart?
The left tit loves men
The right tit also loves men!
Why can't everyone just get along?
I really miss you, Sis!
I miss you, too, Sis! Let's make up!
Let's never be apart again!
Let's squeeze up together
and make cleavage happen
HEY
I am pulling out all the stops for you two
Liam, can't you at least say something?
What's with this moody silence?
A married woman shouldn't act like such a tit
If the leading lady part is available
Why would anyone audition for the comic relief?
OK! You two have a nice chat
Hello
It's nice to see
all our old classmates settle down
How about you?
Not yet
Well, there's more freedom being single
Let's have dinner sometime
It's been so long!
Sure. Sometime
Liam
I miss you very much
And then Pinocchio's nose got longer and longer
So he apologized to the fairy
and told her he'd never lie again
Only then did the fairy
turn him back to his original shape
Do you want to go beddy-bye?
No more running around!
Or Daddy will get mad
OK, be good! Night night!
You wanted the Birkin bag in blue, right?
I got Ron to move the order up for you
Thanks
I talked to Liam on the phone today
I barely even recognized his voice
He's so shy it's annoying
We should get together
A meal and a chat will straighten things out
Don't you think?
The three of us?
I told my family I had a business trip
but then something came up
I can't make it after all. I'm sorry
Whatever
Strange
What you looking for?
Don't you always leave it by the sink?
Right
Miss Lin, have you thought things over since last time?
It looks a little bigger
Which one?
Both the baby and the tumor
Generally
as the fetus grows
the tumor also develops
You have twins in here
And the tumor situation is getting critical
You should discuss this with your husband
This is great!
This really is excellent
Truly great! How did you manage this?
Such a great deal
what would you do without it?
This is Sunshine Gym's first collaboration with a shopping channel
Together we are launching a diamond class VIP promotion
sales start tonight at 8 o'clock
Tonight, right here in this room
We must extend a special thanks to
Premier Chen of the Executive Yuan
for gracing us with his presence
Are you a shareholder in this operation, Premier Chen?
Chairman Liu and I
are just plain old friends
Good old Aaron, what are you doing hiding over here?
With your wife and father-in-law
both being interviewed on stage
Why aren't we seeing you up there, too?
The Premier is up front
staff like me just have to provide him with data
No need to stand out from the crowd
That can't be right!
Isn't standing out from the crowd what you do best?
Sol have a fair amount of your company's stocks on hand
Give me some insider information
The Premier and Chairman Liu
have been friends since way back...
All right, all right, stop
Premier this, Premier that...
Isn't he your father-in-law?
Why grovel like that?
Seeing how tough your life is
really makes me feel better about mine
Say it again
I want you to hold me like this forever and ever
What do you want
I want you
Say it again
I want you to hold me like this forever and ever
Tell me what you want
I want you
Say it again
Tell me what you want
I want you
But what I want...
You can't afford to give
Dad, you sit here for a bit
HEY
Hey, it's me
What's up? It's Mabel
I know
Long time no speak
How're you doing?
Fine
It's nothing, really
I just wanted to call you
Where are you?
Didn't we say we'd meet up for dinner sometime?
I've been busy at work lately
When we say sometime
We mean it, right?
Hello?
Of course...of course we mean it
Well, then
When you're free
give me a call
Sure. Bye. -OK
Magnolias for sale!
Only NT$30!
Thank you
How much?
One bunch for NT$20, two for NT$30
I'll take two! Thank you
Mabel
Not just anyone can get a table here
We come here all the time
Actually, it's a pretty good set-up
Meeting two or three times a month
Fewer fights and disagreements
Yeah, I realize this now
The only person in the world who would suffer for me
is Mabel
To those of us who suffer!
Fuck it, to the sufferers!
Oh, he's learned to swear!
You start, Liam
Hair soaking wet
I waited for you on the levee
You were nowhere to be seen
I waited for you on the levee
And the sky began to weep
I wanted to fetch an umbrella
I was afraid you couldn't find me
I waited for you on the levee
And the sky began to weep
Aaron, your phone!
Aaron, your phone's ringing!
Hello
I waited for you on the levee
Yes, Premier
I am just having a meal with some friends
What?
Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding
It can't be
Hold on, I'm checking it out now
Yes, I'm watching it right now
It's been taken out of context
That's not what I meant
The press put words into my mouth
Premier, as you're aware
the media...journalists like to stir up trouble
They'll make a scene out of one sentence
I would never have said anything so carelessly
No, Dad... I mean, Premier
No! Dad, Premier...
No, listen to me
It's not like that
I do spend time with my baby
I really do spend time with my baby
Are you done?
You think it's funny?
Dad, I'll call you back
Ok,Ok
It's OK, it's OK, it's OK
It's OK
It's OK...
You motherfucker, fuck you! What's OK!?
And you, are you a fucking worthless whore?
What, you can't have a life without him?
And you, go fuck yourself!
Go fuck your motherfucking self!
Talk about freedom and democracy!
You and your big talk can go fuck yourself
Fuck you
Long live friendship, my ass!
Motherfuckers
Two things
one good, one bad
The bad first
I'm pregnant
The estate agent will come by in a few days for a valuation
I'm leaving Taiwan
Remember to clean everything with disinfectant
Pay close attention
to the sweat stains in the aerobics room
and the screen on the...
My dad used to say that with friends
Whatever happens
you can always make it up over dinner
Do you know how to make this?
Yeah, it's easy
Still like things spicy?
Of course
This looks OK
See that family by the counter?
I stalked them twice
During the holidays
Crazy, right?
Truth is, he's my boyfriend
He said that...
ever since he was little, he couldn't stand bitter melon
So when we were on military service
I used to eat his for him
After he got married
his wife wanted to train him out of it
So she serves a lot of bitter melon dishes
He doesn't want his children thinking
that he's a picky eater
So he's always pretending to eat a few mouthfuls
He always tells me
I'm the only person in this world
who would endure bitterness for him
But the truth is...
that all the bitterness is self-inflicted
HEY
Liam, my family is right there!
What do you want?
Liam
All these years...
Thank you for everything
Why?
Because I looked into a mirror
and realized I was a miserable mess
Daddy, I want to buy something!
Let's go!
Go back to your family
I've been hiding all this time
You don't have to be like me
Don't worry
Aaron and I are going to have a family
We're going to leave
At least one of us is happy
That's enough
Once we leave here, we'll be free
Pinocchio managed to escape from the whale's belly
But he lost his father
But after that Pinocchio
did so many amazing things
and so
we should be brave, too, like Pinocchio
And to be like this we...
I'm going to get a cup of coffee, want one?
Share one?
Daddy, sing for me
Want Daddy to sing a song?
OK then
Your name please?
Mabel Lin
What operation are you undergoing today?
Abortion
OK, try to relax. Don't be nervous
In a moment, we're going to apply the anesthetic
Just relax
Close your eyes
Wait
What's with the face?
Mabel! That hurt!
But it's all dried up
Liam, do this with me one more time
Loving you tenderly, Loving you tenderly
My Baby, My Baby'
Missing you gently, Missing you gently
My tears, My tears
Who can give me warmer sunshine
Who can give me a warmer dream
Who can forgive me when all is done
and sooth my aching heart
This is my home, where I was born
where my childhood was, the best of times
It's the place I ran away from
and where my tears now return
Loving you tenderly, Loving you tenderly
My Baby, My Baby'
Missing you gently, Missing you gently
My tears, My tears
Who can give me a lonelier window
A window keeping the storms at bay, both outside and within?
Who can wave their hand in ambivalence at the end
and wish me well on my unknown path?
This is my home, where I was born
where my childhood was, the best of times
It's the place I ran away from
and where my tears now return
This is my home, where I was born
Where I had the warmest of times
It's the place I ran away from
and where my tears now return
This is my home, where I was born
Where my childhood was, the best of times
It's the place I ran away from
and where my tears now return
