Hey, you wish to give her a present too?
Ma!
Happy Birthday.

Don't grab. Can't you wait.
Let's blow out the candles first.
May I have your attention here.
The music is dedicated to my best friend Cindy.
Cindy! I love you, Happy Birthday.
I hope you all are as happy as I am today, every night.
I wish that all the men in the world love me.
No... don't come inside.
Really, thank you for coming from so far away.
This time I am going to stay a little longer.
I've already got a job here, today is my first day.
I thought you just came back for my birthday.
Cindy! Are you all leaving?
Where's everybody?
Hitomi, what time is it now?
Everybody should get going.
This is a movie director.
I was supposed to come at 10:00.
But my friends introduced him to me.
Let's go.
I owe you one, Happy Birthday!
Thanks.
Then we shall leave.
- Ok - Bye
Is she your friend?
Yes, she dreams of becoming a movie star.
It's already 6:00, you better go.
Talk to you later.
Good luck on your work.
Take care.
Hey, where's your friend?
She left.
She's gone?
Let's go too.
Go where?
Take me home!
I am beat, I've got to work latter.
Hurry! I still haven't opened my present yet!
Ma, what made you so late today?
It was my friend's birthday.
Did he sleep well last night?
Not too well, he suffered a lot last night.
I gave him some pain killers.
Ma!
Take us to party with you next time, ok?
Look what you've done... I am all wet now.
Let's do it again
so I can feel like floating in the air.
Dearly... I am already high up in the air.
Is Cindy there?
Hitomi, are you still screwing around!
No, Cindy, I've got some good news.
He promised, he just promised!
What are you saying?
Who is he? What did he promise?
That director!
What director?
You've told me about too many directors.
Hey, the one this morning.
He is going to shoot a soap opera
And he promises to give me a role.
Please, who wants to watch films anymore?
It's not a movie it's a soap opera for television!
Yeah right! It's all the same,
give it a try.
I know.
Cindy, I wasn't there with you last night.
Then you owe me tonight.
OK, you give them all a call.
We can't have fun without them.
Ok, I'll arrange it all.
Everyone has to come tonight.
Whoever doesn't come is a pig.
Ok, you organize it.
I've got to work.
Me too... my batman lover will bring me 100 balloons tonight.
Meet me at Warner Village, ok?
Yes, superwoman...
I'll be waiting for you.
Boys! Got to put your pants on to play.
Be careful.
Hitomi! I am in class!
In class?
So early? You work so hard.
Give me a break, I am not like you.
I've got to work.
You've always got time on your hands!
All right! We're going to meet at DEEP.
Are you coming?
Wait a second.
Are you coming with Cola!
Call you back later.
Something's wrong with Cola today?
I've been trying to call you
to make a hair appointment.
The first time I cut your hair
I told you that.
Hair styling, is art.
You've heard of Van Gogh? Monet?
Not even Picasso?
That's why you're ignorant!
Between heaven and earth all there is hair.
Why don't these other parts grow
Only the parts right on top?
Doesn't that mean anything to you?
You should have heard of Mona Lisa?
This painting...
...was completed by one painter or two?
One, of course!
Get someone else to cut your hair next time
This is for you.
I've always done my best when I cut your hair.
Is this your new song?
What's this song about?
My hair.

Nice to meet you.
He is working on his new song.
It's... about his hair.
Chien is one of their most promising artists.
He's got talent and he's a real artist.
We think we could tie
in the media with his concerts.
And put together
some intense marketing events.
How about writing a song
about alcohol?
And use our brand name as title.
That would be a great combination, right? Ben?
Actually I am more appeal to yogurt
Does you company sell Yogurt?
Wow, its surprising that...

I was in a band too when I was young.
Just couldn't afford the rental for studio.

Don't you ever rest?
Wasn't you just arrived last night
I am new here in Taipei.
It is a whole new world to me.

Alright.
You know what
I am quite familiar with all the pubs around.
I am available tonight.
So?
Balloons!
What are you all doing? Stop it!
How much for the balloons?
They're not for sale.
Kids love them, just sell a few.
No way, there are exactly 100 balloons here.
Sir, please give us a few balloons,

Mr. Batman, can you give us some balloons.
I beg you please.

Thank you.
Bad guy!
Sorry, my kids are too rowdy.
How's your dad?
Just about.
Ma, you should get a girlfriend.
Someone to help you out.
But definitely not the girls from here.
When you find your dream girl be sure
to introduce me to her.
Bao-ge
Cindy
Ma, you're early today.

This is my lover today, Batman.
You're Batman, and then I am...
The Mad Doctor.

Hitomi

Bao-ge
Ben
Meet my friend.
This is Eva.
Hi! Bao-ge.
Nice to meet you.
She is working for a beer company.
Maybe you can help her out.
No problem.
What time is it?
Ma, what kind of watch is this?
One Sub Zero.
Ma
Cindy, it's been so long.
You've been gone for a long time.
Business, I went to Beijing.

Hey, where are you going?
Hey
What's wrong with you?
Aren't you having enough with the Beijing girls?
Iden
Have you seen Cola?
Did you have fun today?
A blast!
Your music is great.
Then why are you looking for that bastard?
Oh, Fuck!
Foul...
It's coming out, look.
Don't move, foul
Thanks Bao-ge.
Thanks!
See you.
You just take girls out to let off some steam?
That sounds good.
How did you blow it?
Hey, you play trumpet?
I only play this.
I found it at my grandma's house when I was little.
And blew on it until I learned how.
My grandpa hid this
until I found it.
I heard that my grandfather was a good trumpet player.
But grandma hated it, she threw the trumpet away.
I just like music. That's why I work for a music company.
That's great.
But my mom against it.
She said men should learn something more useful.
She thinks music is useless.
Someday I will write some great music.
Ok where are we heading?
I am starving, let's get something to eat.
How about some soya milk.
Let's go!
Vivi!
It's packed, let's go!
You all go ahead.
You coming or not?
Make room for him, quick scoot over.
I've got some great news for you guys.
Hurry up, sit down.
What do you want to drink?
Beer.
Wow! Vivi can still drink?
You've been drinking all night.
You're better than a hostess!
I am not as shameless as you do.
Fucking different men every night.
You think they remember who they fucked?
Everybody thinks that
We are just like that.
Please, stop fooling yourself.
You want to be rich and famous.
Live in Beverly Hills
Look at yourself into the mirror.
Is it possible?
Relax, Vivi.
We're all friends.
Knock it off.
You're ruining everything!
From now on we sit apart!
I admit it, I am vain.
I know what people think of me, that I am immoral.
What about you all?
You do whatever you want and screw around.
Fuck one person today then someone else next day.
What for?
Just for fun?
I am not that way. I know what I am doing.
Good morning! Everybody here!
I am starving! Really!
See how smart I am!
What's up, I am smart enough to know you are here.
Bastard!
Vivi! What's up with you?
- Thank you, Ma. - Thanks.
This is your favorites
Don't tell the nurse.
They don't let you eat greasy food.
Just between you and me.
Summer Blue calling.
When the windows open in the morning.
I can see the blue summer sky.
You?
My windows are shut.
Then what color is it inside the room?
Grey.
My window is transparent,
clear and transparent.
You can open the window
and let the summer blue fill up the room.
I like it the way it is right now
If I looked up at the blue sky,
I'd forget yesterday's worries
Who are you?
A shade of blue in Summer Sky.
Baby.
Baby don't be mad.
The main actress.
- How's that? Was it fun? - Don't shoot.
I LOVE YOU
Vivi wants to stay with Cola.
I want to give you a hug.
A child has to be good to get hugged.
And the child behaves very well today.
- Then I give you a hug. - Really?
Give me a hug.
If I've to die...
- Be quick. - Say something.
Say...
I love you so much.
Miss Vivi, I won't do it again.
I hate this!
I love you!
Getting yourself a hoola hoop?
It's for you.
Don't give it to me!
There, you go in first.
Did you see that gorgeous passing by?
I saw that!

Ben
What? What's wrong?
I hate myself now.
What's wrong?
Come on, speak up.
Haven't you known Cindy for a long time?
Almost a year from now.
And how's things going?
We're just friends, we all hang out together.
Apart from that...
You want to know...
...whether we are boyfriend and girlfriend right?
We're just friends, I am not her boyfriend.
Bye
Eva
Let's find a place to live together in downtown Taipei.
Here's too far from where you are working.
And your family is not in Taiwan anyway.
Let's find an apartment and share the rent.
Then you won't need to take a cab home after clubbing.
I used to sleep alone.
We can get a place with two bedrooms.
Over there it's Ma's car, quick.
Quick get in.
Ben, open the door.
It's lovely.
- Here? - Here, ok?
Not good in here.
Ma, Cindy!
Bottoms up! Congratulations!
The King's game, the king says write with your tongue
Sniff it.
Give No 7 and No 8 a kiss!
Good bye, miss you.
Cindy, wanna lift?
Thanks!
You look dump.
You look like...
Let me take a look.
No!
Let me see.
No!
No more kissing...
Don't run!
No running!
- Watch out! - That hurts!
You can't catch me.
What?
Ben
What's wrong?
I don't know.
Not feeling well?
Ben, we're just starting to know each other.
I just want to be sure of our relationship.
Just starting?
We are living together now.
What I meant is that
Our relationship should be stronger.
Before we make any commitment.
I love you.
I love you too!
Then it's all right!
Ben
What is wrong with you?
I've never...
You've never?
Why are you laughing?
It hurts.
- What do you mean? - I do nothing.
Producer, when do I get the script?
Next week
Would it be a major part?
Don't worry about it.
Promise me a good role.
Here comes your Summer Blue.
Just kidding.
Whenever you go to see her.
Don't forget to bring her here
for a drink.
You promise.
No problem all.
It's beautiful.
What kind of alcohol is it?
You think so?
It's especially for Ma, Summer Blue.
Give me a glass.
Ask Ma first, it's exclusive for him.
How come Ma has never asked me for a drink?
You always have yourself enough to drink.
What's that mean?
Ma, it's for you.
Hello, I'll be there right away.
It's the hospital.
I've got to go.
Hi! Vivi!
You are leaving already! Bye!
What's wrong?
That bastard!
I am so tired... I am really tired.
In secret I scream, there is no need to hide myself
Your father is stable now.
But be prepared.
We've got him on a life support.
Should I go to the travel agency to buy a ticket?
When you fall in love.
You will find yourself there.
How many tickets are you getting this time?
When you get there
don't forget to send me a postcard.
Ma... nothing.
What's on TV.
What do we have for dinner?
Pasta and salad.
Sounds good.
It's ok if you don't want to do it.
I am OK.
I can do it for you.
I am not ready yet.
Not ready to love me.
What! Of course I love you!
Then I don't get it.
We're together.
We share the same place.
Sharing our lives together.
I don't understand why can't have sex?
I just want to be sure of our relationship.
You want to be sure of our relationship?
Or whether I can be your first man?
Fuck!
Ben! Where is Eva?
Ben, what are you doing?
Stop! Ben
It's itching. Don't do that...
When did you last have sex?
I've never seen you so horny.
Hi! Superwoman.
What are you doing here?
I've thought about it.
You're not interested in me.
But I love you.
When you love somebody,
you don't ask for retribution.
Then what?
I care about you and protect you.
I will always be there when you need me.
You are making me sick.
I am not in good mood today. Leave me alone
What's up with you anyway?
You are not my type.
Mother Fucker, men are scum!
Your hair style looks nice.
Do you still remember
that song you wrote for me in junior high?
No one listens to that song anymore.
If you like it, I can give you another copy of the CD.
Fuck!
Chieh, sorry, it was a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding!
Kneel down!
Chieh
Kneel down!
Cola
Why are you hitting him!
Cola, what did you tell my girlfriend.
Where did you learn to be a hair stylist?
Japan.
Fucking Japan!
You think I don't know about you!
Mother Fucker!
Now you're driving a Volkswagen and own a salon.
Isn't that old faggot your teacher down in southern Taiwan?
Who trimmed pubic hairs.
You shameless piece of shit.
You even let that old gay to screw your back.
For five years you've been trying to beguile out of him.
You're mother fucking "C"astard
You know why you got C
Because C is lower than B
Mother Fucker
Until he's totally broke!
Now you are screwing around with girls.
To make up for that, aren't you!
How dare you to touch my girl.
Shit, have you washed your hands?
Japan? Go screw yourself.
You've probably never been to CKS International Airport.
Chieh, make me look good on this ok?
What's the sense in making a fuss here?
- Iden - Chieh
I am here to hear you spin some tunes.
Who'd want a situation like this?
Let's go! It's spoiling my mood here.
Thanks, Chieh.
Get this straight!
Kneel down!
Cola
That's enough.
You've heard it all!
Nothing I said was true.
Everything I said was a lie.
Every time you couldn't find me
I was with in bed someone else.
Screwing other women! Fucking all the time!
I beg you. Wake up!
When will you face the truth?
Please leave me alone.
I am begging you.
I can't stand it, leave me.
I've been in love with you for so long.
I know.
Ma
He wished he could buy me a nice watch.
He's been saying about it since I was in junior high.
Even by the day he fell down.
And I realized that he was still thinking about it.
The night before he checked into the hospital.
He gave me this watch
After working all his life
All he can give his kid is a broken watch.
Since then, I never took it off again.
I never know what to tell him.
All I know it's the best watch in the world.
Remember when we first met
You asked me if I wanted to make love.
I said I am handsome.
You definitely would like to sleep with me.
- But you were very serious... - I really want to.
I really want to make love to you.
To dedicate myself to you.
Because I love you.
But I am afraid that
You'll just leave me after having sex with me.
I know you wouldn't.
But I am afraid to lose you.
I am so afraid of losing you.
I am madly in love with you.
Don't be silly.
Maybe I really am that kind of person.
You'll find meet someone who really is good for you one day.
Don't give up on your hope of love.
Because you are you, always.
That's what is so attractive about you. Understand?
Everything set?
Let's go, I'll escort you to the airport.
Otherwise you won't be able to leave.
Summer Blue calling.
I miss you.
I know you're there.
No matter what happens, I'll always be with you.
I need you.
Here I am.
Come see me, please.
Save me.
Are you sure?
12:00, Room 512 Howard Hotel
Ma
Why?
Why did you?
I didn't want things to end up this way.
You know what the worst thing is?
Why did you do this?
Why can't I be Summer Blue?
Why not me?
What are you afraid of?
You are just coward.
You're afraid of yourself.
You're afraid of facing your true feelings.
You're afraid of all your friends.
Afraid of me.
You couldn't even dare to cry when your father died.
You lied to me!
I am truly in love with you.
Ma
Sorry.
You always do things your way.
I am afraid that if you take me to the airport.
I'll try to jump off the plane.
Eva
This is for you.
I have thought about it.
Its not necessary for me to become a musician.
There are many things I could do.
As long as I am happy that's all that matters, right?
Maybe music doesn't even suit me.
I just hope that every time you see it you'll think of me.
Here's something for you too.
That's great. I was worried it wouldn't fit.
Don't you ever give up.
I believe that you are gifted.
Promise me.
When you come to perform in New York one day
I'll be there applauding for you.
Don't give up, ok?
Lesbians get married first ever in Taiwan

How's business?

What's your name, madam?
Pig! Hurry everyone!

Director, nobody knew I was hiding at all!
Very good! A rubbish bin.
The next scene.
A rubbish bin? How can I play a rubbish bin?
A sound of silent.
You know the proverb.
Everything under heaven belongs to the people.
The next scene.
Hurry everyone!
How do I play that role?
