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!
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!

Liam!
Stop messing around!
Aaron's such an idiot!
Let's find Aaron
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
if I 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?

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.
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
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?
12345678
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! I 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
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.
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... I'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?
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
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
