Movie and subtitle taken from http://www.catiii.tv/old-cow-vs-tender-grass-2010/
Hello, we are a pair.
Who are you?
I'm the cousin of the groom, like you, flower boy.
You're so old. I don't want! I don't want!
Me! Me! Over here!
It's mine! It's mine!
I got it! It's so pretty!
As usual, I am still as unlucky.
Don't lose heart.
If you persist,
one day your wish will come true.
What is my wish?
Don't worry.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes and feel.
Uh huh...
Match Link, how may I help you?
Hi, may I help you?
Yes. I'm looking for women.
What?
Woman.
No! I mean partner.
Okay, no problem.
Please fill in this form.
Okay.
It's all in English, do you have it in Chinese?
It's ok, I'll help.
Thank you.
How old are you?
49 years and 9 months.
Isn't that 50?
Not yet!
What's your height?
175cm.
Please stand up.
Sure.
I'm only 165cm tall, and you are 175cm?
It's just my estimate.
Mr Moo,
we're a registered matchmaking agency.
Please declare all particulars truthfully.
I hope you will cooperate with us.
Sorry.
157
There's a big difference between 157 and 175!
Not much difference.
Just a different permutation.
Which line are you in?
Transportation.
Businessman. Aren't you very busy then?
Of course!
It's my own business after all.
What do you look for in a partner?
She doesn't have to be very pretty,
perhaps someone like Lin Chiling will do.
You're really humorous, Mr Moo.
I have some albums here
with photos of our members.
If you become our member.
I can arrange a matchmaking session immediately,
Fann Wong?
Is she divorced?
No, it's just that our members look like celebrities.
They are of high standards.
The album you're looking at is 20 to 25 years old,
the monthly membership fee is $1000.
$1000! That's very expensive!
Membership fee is charged according to age brackets.
If you're looking for someone aged between 26 to 30,
it's $500
It's $400 for 31 to 40 years old.
I think someone 41 to 50 would be suitable for you,
and it's affordable, only $200.
Do you have something cheaper?
We do.
Do you?
It's free for the category above 60 years old.
No wonder it's free.
They're "mouldy".
Damn! It's the parking attendant.
5 minutes to 11, luckily I've placed the coupon.
So rich yet saving on a dollar? He deserves it.
Wait!
Are you on call?
No, why?
All get in the taxi!
Wait! Five passengers are not allowed.
I'll be fined by the traffic police.
Don't worry, you won't.
If the officer's here, I'll ask one of them to hide.
Cannot.
Why not? All of them are skinny.
Government says cannot means cannot.
Unless one of them can't walk and needs to be carried.
Those who can walk are not allowed.
Understand?
Will this do? Hand carry.
You said so.
Thank you, keep the change.
Hey Friend!
$20 is not enough.
It's only $19.30 on the meter.
No, CBD area is $3 more.
You taxi drivers are all the same,
trying to rip me off.
This is not my first time in Singapore.
Hey!
$3!
Hey! $3, please.
What? It's you again?
I thought I got rid of u.
What do you want?
I want my money back.
What money?
I paid you by the meter.
Do you want me to call the police?
Call the police! Who's afraid!
He boarded my taxi in the CBD,
without paying the CBD charge.
This guy is trying to rip me off.
I've heard about the CID,
I've certainly not heard of the CBD.
No. In Singapore,
CBD stands for the Central Business District.
So if you take a taxi from CBD,
there's a $3 surcharge.
Really?
Yes!
From airport is worst! $5!
But it's only from 5pm to midnight.
It's $3 at other times.
Singapore Expo is $2.
Peak period is 35 percent
Excuse me, 50 percent more for midnight.
There's also the booking charge.
Not forgetting that
different colour taxis have different rates.
And must pay for the ERP also.
I give up.
I'm sorry. I've obviously made a mistake.
Please keep the change.
Keep the change?
No, no, no.
You keep the change.
I've worked for nothing again today.
Quick, let's see what colour her panties are today? Thanks!
How? Are we having porridge or rice today?
Eat grass lah!
I'm really unlucky these days.
Got a call, and thought it was a big fish.
Who knew it would be a Merlion?
It started once he boarded.
Vomiting all the way from the east to the west.
I couldn't chase him down the taxi,
and did not have the heart to demand for a higher fare.
I almost died.
Was he sick or drunk?
I'd have kicked him out if he was drunk.
Then you can't blame him.
He was sick and it wasn't intentional.
He should've called the ambulance if he's sick,
not a taxi!
Ambulances are expensive, taxis are cheaper.
You can't be more unlucky than I am!
I got fined because of $3.
I must say you're really unlucky!
Damn you!
Come on! Let's have coffee.
One cup of coffee!
Make it two!
Come, have a seat.
Two cups! Two cups!
Just in time. Let me tell you,
I picked up the girl with the dog today.
Really? You did?
I heard she is pretty, is it true?
To be honest, she's not bad.
You lucky guys.
Why is it not me?
I only picked up a Merlion.
You'll sprain your neck if you don't stop staring!
That would still be worth it.
Look at the lady on the left, she's pretty huh?
Yeah, not bad at all.
Young man, here we are, checking out women,
and there you are, just sighing away.
What happened?
Do you have to ask?
He's either had an accident, or received a wedding invitation.
Wrong! It's the LTA that has sent him an "invitation".
A parking ticket!
It's just a fine.
No demerit points, so don't worry!
No big deal.
Talk is cheap.
It is really tough making a living from what we do.
We slog day and night, with no annual leave and no CPF.
Can't even apply for sick leave, well, not until we're dead.
Seriously, I feel like quitting.
Robbery!
I'm leaving now!
Sorry, I've already booked you, it can't be cancelled.
Please give me a chance!
Parking is not allowed here.
As a professional driver, you should know this very well.
I've already been booked once today.
That just goes to show that you're not law-abiding.
Why didn't you book the vehicles in front or behind mine?
Why me?
It's my personal practice to start from the middle.
If you have parked legally,
this wouldn't have happened.
That's two fines in a day.
Girl, what's your name?
Why haven't I seen you before?
I'm Xiao Hong, today's my first day at work.
So it's your first day.
Ah Gao!
Why are you back again?
What if you get booked again?
Damn it! So be it!
I'll pay!
Wow! You guys are incredible!
Shouting 'robbery' when you see a traffic police.
They're always preying on us, isn't that robbery?
It's useless if you shout 'robbery' in my country.
Everyone would just hide behind closed doors.
Then what would they shout?
Fire!
They would only run out of their houses if you shout 'fire'.
Interesting! Give me a bottle of beer!
Sure, you can have this first.
Make it two then.
Two it is.
I really envy what you do.
You don't have to put up with anyone.
You're right.
In our line, we're like our own bosses.
We make money wherever we go,
and all the money goes into our own pockets.
We don't have to make CPF contributions.
And the best thing is
we can go on leave whenever we feel like it,
and awake at any hour we like.
Hey Ah Gao! That's not what you said earlier.
In my time,
a taxi-driver's salary can see 3 children through university.
But now,
it's barely enough to raise a child, let alone three.
We can't afford to slack in any way at all!
Can you stop talking about the past?
I'm just saying, we do get to manage our own time.
Don't move!
The love of a parent
Have you seen Ah Gao?
There!
Luckily I made it in time.
Look at you,
bloodshot eyes, and your lips are chapped.
You're always out, not eating at home.
We live together.
Why is it so difficult for us to even meet?
I've brewed this soup for many hours
It's nutritious, drink it while it's hot.
Mum, can't you read the sign?
"Outside food is not allowed."
Mum, can you stop bringing me soup?
I'm no longer a kid, they'll laugh at me for this.
Why would anyone laugh at you?
Alright! Why don't you take the soup back,
and I'll have it tonight.
Make sure you do.
Please leave.
How could you treat your mum like that?
Forget it if you won't drink the soup.
But do you have to make her wait at home?
I'm not trying to be nosy,
but looking at your mother earlier,
reminds me of mine.
I'm sorry.
Let me tell you, my experience tells me that
This woman will make a good wife.
Come on! Let's drink!
Out of the way!
Mum
Give it to me.
You need money? Here you go.
I mean the soup.
Let me pour you some.
I'll do it.
Drink it up.
Is it me or you that they're afraid of?
Wow! It's a good thing I've offered prayers today.
Huh! A dog!
Miss, dogs are not allowed in my taxi.
Do you hear me?
I said dogs are not allowed in my taxi.
It's written here,
No food, no drinks, no dog.
No money, no talk.
I'll double the fare. Can we go now?
Money's not the issue here.
If your dog dirties my taxi,
other customers are going to complain
I think LTA's complaint-hotline is...
Okay, fine.
Take it that I'm pleading you, Miss.
I have a 80 year old mother to support,
and she's seriously ill.
If my taxi licence is revoked,
and I don't get any work,
I won't have any income!
Without an income,
I won't be able to afford my mother's medical bills.
And you would be a murderer.
Where? Oh where are you?
Where is she?
This is strange, she looks exactly like her.
Miss, do you want a ride?
It's difficult to get a taxi here.
I don't want to kill your mother.
I was just kidding.
My mother passed away a long time ago.
Are you coming to bed?
Oops, I mean are you getting in?
Hurry, I'm leaving.
Come on!
Bubbles, up!
Sit tight.
Where to, miss?
Lim Chu Kang.
That's far.
Please keep an eye on your dog.
I don't want to be bitten.
Bubbles is an obedient dog.
He won't just bite anyone.
What do you mean?
Which expressway do you prefer?
No preference.
Don't say you have no preference.
What if you make a complaint later?
I'll be doomed.
I've said no preference, PIE.
It's my job to ask.
Many passengers are like that.
They'd say they have no preference.
And then make a complaint after they alight.
Is the air con cool enough?
If not, I can adjust the temperature.
Don't keep quiet,
if you complain about me later,
I'll be dead.
You're very annoying.
Can't be helped.
I've had many demerit points already.
If all my points are deducted, I'll be out of a job.
Is this speed okay?
Or do you want me to go faster?
This is fine, I'm not in a hurry.
See, it's a good thing I asked.
If I didn't,
and you make a complaint after you alight,
I'll be dead.
Another question from you again,
and I'll definitely make a complaint!
Just try me.
Miss, this is a very remote area,
So watch out for robbers.
So remote, there's not a single soul around.
What's she doing here?
Today we play a nurse, tomorrow we play a maid.
Don't we still end up doing the same deed?
We don't have a choice.
It's so competitive now.
Count yourself lucky that you still have clients.
Handsome, are you interested?
We'll give you a discount.
How about having a peep,
and you waive our taxi fare?
No thanks.
I won't want an accident. Thanks.
Fierce.
Geylang East Avenue 1.
Sir, you forgot to switch on the meter.
It's ok, we're acquainted. My treat.
It's you!
Small world, isn't it?
How can I not pay you?
Money doesn't come easy.
Keep it.
I'll leave it here.
Xiao Hong!
It's not much, just take it ok?
Don't do it anymore.
If you're in need of money,
I can always lend you some.
I'm not in need of money,
I just want to earn more so I can send it home.
And I can afford the time anyway.
Don't you worry about getting caught?
Surely not.
Listen to me, don't push your luck
stop before you get into trouble.
But I really like working as a beer girl.
Although it's tiring sometimes, I'm happy.
I'm not talking about that job.
I'm talking about you, dressing up as a nurse to...
What are you talking about?
I really am a nurse.
And I only work as a beer girl in my free time.
You don't have to lie.
I won't look down on you or tell anyone.
Hey! Will you stop insulting me?
I've not done whatever you're talking about.
Please do not discriminate or judge me.
Where to?
City Hall.
Mr Moo, it's you!
Ms Huang, what a coincidence.
Sit tight.
Mr Moo,
didn't you say you're in the transportation line?
That's right.
I ferry passengers from one point to another,
here and there, to and fro,
isn't that transportation?
Some people are really good at elevating themselves.
Is he your friend?
Oh please, he's my client.
I don't have a taxi driver as a friend.
What a coincidence!
I don't have a matchmaker as a friend too.
I'm not a matchmaker,
I'm the CEO of Match Link
I've heard of COE.
But never have I heard of CEO.
Hey, I've paid for your services,
so when do I get to go on a date?
You're not cheating me of my money, are you?
Why are you like this?
Which route do you want to take?
Hurry, or I'll go straight.
Three rounds to the left.
Three rounds to the right.
Massage the shoulders.
Lift up the legs.
Bend the waist.
Blood is circulating,
Fart.
Someone's calling for a taxi at Lim Chu Kang.
Anyone going to Lim Chu Kang?
Lim Chu Kang, Lane 6.
Customer's been paging for a long time.
Anyone going to Lim Chu Kang?
Lim Chu Kang, Lane 6.
It's so late, the girl with the dog can't still be there?
Anyone going to Lim Chu Kang?
Customer's been paging for a long time.
Bear with it, we're reaching the hospital.
She looks miserable.
Nothing will go wrong, huh?
Then go faster,
send her to the hospital and we're done.
She knew she's dying,
and still doesn't want to go to the hospital.
You say she's blur, I think she's just acting.
Don't care what she says.
Just quickly send her to the hospital,
then it's none of my business.
I still have a lot of work to do, you know.
Work! All you care is work!
Luckily Wati told me this morning.
If she dies at home,
then we'll have problem selling our house.
Do you know?
Ya, then no one will dare to buy the house.
Price sure drop.
I'm also worried Ah Boy will be scared,
and won't dare to stay at home alone.
Exactly.
What you've just said,
it's best not to let your son hear it.
Why?
I'm afraid he'll learn from you,
and abandon both of you when he grows up.
Hey! What do you mean!
What business is it of yours?
I dare you to repeat what you've said!
Dear, dear,
don't waste your energy
talking to this type of person. Useless.
I'll file a complaint!
Yes! Complain and get his licence revoked!
Ridiculous! It's none of your business!
Take down his vehicle number!
Go ahead and complain! Who's afraid?
Get in quickly, it's about to rain,
or you'll get struck by lightning!
Did you call for taxi?
Come on, let's go.
It's you again. Would you like some?
What are you eating?
Are you kidding?
You're eating dog food?
Well, you took a long time to get here, and I got really hungry.
Moo! Enjoying your dinner?
Join us.
No, I've eaten, enjoy your dinner.
This "dish" looks very tender, sure you can take it?
Miss, this piece of pork is fat.
You'll grow fat eating it.
Aren't you afraid?
You look like you'll get heart disease.
Better stay off this.
Why?
Porridge's here!
A bowl of pig's trotters and a bowl of porridge.
Two bowls.
Okay.
Are you that hungry?
Sometimes, one does not eat because of hunger.
Just like how,
one does not breathe to live.
How profound.
Hey! No smoking!
Miss, this is the smoking area.
You're seated at the wrong place.
I said no smoking, and that's final!
Please, just go ahead!
We're almost done, leaving soon.
Hurry up.
There are already too few smoking areas,
you can leave if you're unhappy.
Then ensure that the smoke doesn't get to me.
Let's go!
Do you know how to eat fish at all?
I didn't mean it.
An accident.
Accident?
So is it an accident too, if I beat you up?
I'll remember you!
Miss, do you have to stir trouble?
Are you scared? Cause I'm not.
Of course you're not.
I'd have been the one he beats up, not you.
Are you a man?
I'm not a man?
I'll prove it to you.
Sure, go on and remove your pants!
Did I say I was going to?
Look.
M for man, in English.
So that's how you looked like when you were young.
Well? Do I look old now?
Born in 1961,
that's already half a century.
You're more than 20 years older than me,
isn't that old?
Hey! I'm middle-aged.
It's 3 more months before I turn 50.
Why does age bother you?
What's so bad about being old?
Some people don't even get to live this long.
If not for Bubbles just now,
I could have just died there and then.
So you're saying I'm afraid of him.
I wasn't afraid he would beat me up,
I was worried about you.
I've been beaten up since young, which is why I'm short.
Would I still be afraid?
Xiao Hong,
I was really unaware that you're indeed a nurse.
But as a nurse,
why do you still want to work here?
Moonlighting even when you have a proper job,
it's no surprise that Singaporeans are jobless.
Is it any of your business?
Coffee Prince!
Hey! You're treating, what's the happy occasion?
Yeah.
Just drink and shut up.
Xiao Hong,
I'll make a public apology to you.
I'm sorry.
Will you forgive me?
So it's affairs of the heart!
What a joke!
You're the high and mighty Coffee Prince,
why would you fall for women like us?
Stop making fun of me.
Call for me if you want more beer.
I'm here to eat,
not to see you.
I didn't bring any soup.
Have you ordered?
Not yet.
What would you like?
Curry rice.
I'll get your food, and we'll eat together.
Xiao Hong!
What is it?
I'm waiting for you.
I'll send you back.
Is business so bad?
I thought taxi drivers are not allowed to tout.
I'm not touting,
I'm waiting for a customer.
But you drank so much just now,
I don't want to die in an accident with you.
Talking about that, it's all your fault.
Look.
I didn't have a single drop of alcohol today.
I bought them all because of you.
I didn't ask you to do that.
You did it on your own accord.
Xiao Hong,
I've been waiting for more than an hour.
You won't let me leave in an empty car,
waiting in vain the whole night?
Alright, forget it if you won't forgive me.
Hey! You offended me.
Can't I even play it cool for a bit?
I'll lose face if I forgive you immediately.
Let's go.
This way.
Dressed provocatively,
Dancing around with their clients,
China dolls in Geylang,
Which lane do they belong to?
Some are ugly though,
we're not interested even if they're for free
Come and dance.
There're really here, open the door.
Robbery!
Damn it! Robbery?
Hey! You come all the way here just to book me?
Do you know the time now?
Can't we sing at home?
Singing is no problem.
But you are disturbing your neighbours.
Are we disturbing you?
I live just below your unit.
Whoa! I'll be singing at your place everyday now!
See you at the coffee shop!
Okay!
I'm doomed.
Look what you've done! It's all your fault!
Then why aren't you leaving?
Waiting to get caught by the police?
That's indeed White Uniform's flat, and he is a police officer.
So you want to get the signage back from him?
Hey! It's you again!
Why are you still denying it?
What's your relationship with her?
You'd better come clean with me!
Speak up! Let go!
He's tolerant.
The world is changing.
A woman beating up a man.
You don't take my calls,
telling me you're working late every day,
You're even having lunch with her,
and you expect me to believe that you two have nothing going on?
We were not even lunching alone.
We really are just colleagues.
Just colleagues? You're still not confessing?
How long do you plan to hide it from me?
If she wants you to confess, then just do it!
You won't have an easy time with such a woman anyway.
The sooner you leave her, the better.
The sooner the better? So that's what you want!
Do you feel tormented being with me?
Do you want to break up?
Hey, that's enough! Are you blind?
There are billions of people on Earth.
To meet someone who truly loves you,
do you think it's easy?
Why can't you treasure the relationship you have now,
rather than live in regret when you lose it?
So you like him?
Fine! You can have him!
I'll have nothing to do with you from now on!
Why are you so nosy?
Why did you hit me?
To wake you up, pig!
She's crazy.
Go after your girlfriend, hurry!
What did you just say?
I was referring to his girlfriend, not you.
Why do you like coming here?
Who said so?
But you're here!
No one's asking you to stay.
But it's so far and so remote here,
what do you like about it?
Well, at least there's no one else around.
They're coming.
Look! So many dogs.
Why are you afraid of dogs?
If you're good to them,
they will be good to you too.
Unlike human beings, who are much more complex.
Human beings are complex?
Not really.
What is it about being human that's good?
I don't like human beings.
I'm afraid of them, but not dogs.
From what you're saying,
it sounds like you've been hurt by someone?
And very badly, too?
I'll tell you a story.
Once, there was a blind man,
who was crossing the road with his guide dog.
When all of a sudden, a truck lost control,
and charged towards them,
Because he wanted to protect his master,
the dog eventually died with him.
What's the point of being so loyal?
Is it worth it to die with his master?
What do you know?
It's the duty of a guide dog to protect its master.
Do you still want to hear the rest of the story?
Okay, okay.
So, the dog and his master's souls were at Heaven's gate.
But the angel guarding the gate,
could only let one of the souls enter.
The angel wanted them to race each other,
And the one who got to the finishing line first,
would gain entrance into Heaven.
That's unfair!
How was the blind man going to win the dog?
Well, so he did not run.
The thing is,
the silly guide dog did not run either.
He simply stayed quietly by his master's side.
Dogs are just dogs.
The angel who was watching by the side
got worried for the dog.
She shouted for him to get up and run,
but he still remained by his master's side,
Just like before,
like how they would go for walks together.
I know! The master knew he could not outrun the dog,
So, upon reaching the finishing line,
he would charge forward.
Right?
He's inhuman, he deserved it.
Don't jump to conclusions before I finish the story.
Well, I feel sorry for the dog.
They finally reached the finishing line.
Just one step and they would reach Heaven.
At this point, the master stopped,
he wanted the dog to go forward.
The dog, seeing that his master has stopped,
stopped too, and didn't take another step.
The master turned and told the dog,
you don't have to stay by my side anymore,
just go to Heaven.
So I've misinterpreted his intentions.
The master turned and left after he finished speaking.
But when the dog saw his master turn back,
he did so too
and ran towards his master,
giving up the chance to go to Heaven.
So, having said all these,
You're saying you're the dog!
Wow!
Xiao Hong, the Singapore Flyer is really high.
Are you afraid of heights?
What's there to be afraid of?
The higher, the more exciting!
Not acrophobic?
No.
Great! Let's get the tickets!
Zi Gao, why aren't you enjoying the view?
Well, I'm Singaporean,
I grew up here,
I've seen everything,
there's nothing much I haven't seen.
Wow, it's really beautiful.
Isn't that the famous Esplanade?
It's so special!
Hey, Zi Gao,
What's wrong?
Are you alright?
Why didn't you tell me you're acrophobic?
You know us men, we like to appear tough.
We're not going bungee-jumping next, are we?
Silly man.
Are you serious about the beer girl?
I don't know.
But she's really interesting.
I've heard stories about these "China dolls",
Once you're hooked,
they'll suck you dry,
skin you alive,
and eat you up.
Look at me,
I've nothing,
so what's there to be afraid of?
That's what I'm afraid of.
Are you any better?
An "old cow" eating "tender grass".
Hey! Stop sprouting nonsense.
If I got married earlier,
my daughter would be older than her.
I'm glad you know that, old cow.
Listen good.
I'm attending a matchmaking session tomorrow.
And when I show you my date,
Those two are going to pop out!
Which two?
Your eyeballs.
Nobody nobody "but you"! ("eye" in Hocking)
Staring at me?
I'll dig your eyes out!

Sorry Sir!
Mr Moo, right?
Are you Elizabeth Low?
Yes.
Sorry I'm a few minutes late.
I think it's more than a few minutes
it's been over ten years.
You look familiar.
Now I remember!
You're...
Moo Gan Jing!
We used to call you "Moo, Moo" in school.
You don't remember?
You are?
I'm Elizabeth, Low Ling Ling.
We used to act in plays together,
And I'd play your princess.
Princess?
Elizabeth Low.
Princess? Princess?
I'm here.
Who is it?
Come over!
Where?
Here! In front, come nearer, come nearer.
Where?
Stop! Stop!
Look down.
Look down?
You're here!
Quick, kiss me.
If you kiss me,
I'll turn into a prince immediately.
Hurry!
How is that possible?
Don't lie to me.
Princess,
I may be just a frog,
but I truly love you.
Kiss me, quickly.
Is there such a line in the script?
Don't bother with the script, just kiss me.
Come on.
Princess! Princess!
Elizabeth, kiss me.
What are you doing?
Didn't you ask me to kiss you?
Annoying!
Elizabeth, why have you become like this?
I've no idea.
But a fortune teller once told me
if I find a man who truly loves me,
I'll become the princess I once was.
Why don't I give you this opportunity
to turn me back into your princess?
You should go to a cosmetic surgeon,
not me.
You're irritating!
Waiter!
What would you like?
I'd like to have your signature dish, White Pepper Crab,
and the Australian King Crab,
Lobster Shark's Fin Soup,
Lobster Platter,
Osmanthus Shark's Fins,
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, abalone...
Wait.
Why don't you order a set meal for ten?
It's better value that way.
You're humorous.
That's all for now.
Me, I'm just like before,
I still love to eat.
And you, are still as humorous as before.
First, let me tell you more about my current lifestyle,
if not, after we're married,
it's going to be difficult to live together.
I really enjoy my freedom now,
I prefer not to work.
So, please don't ask me to get a job.
And, I need at least 12 hours of sleep every day,
or I'll have dark circles around my eyes.
I don't like housework too,
so it's best to get a maid to wait on me.
See, my requests are really simple,
I'm not a high-maintenance woman.
What else?
I think I would rather raise a pig!
Pigs are nice and plump,
and I can kill them for food, or cash.
Why are you giggling?
Nothing, nothing much.
And my hobbies!
My hobbies are simple too.
Shopping, eating...
Hold it, hold it.
I have a question.
I know what your question is.
You men are all the same.
I... still am!
You may think I look open-minded,
but deep down inside,
I'm really very conservative. So, don't worry!
What I wanted to ask, was
who's paying for the meal?
Of course you are!
Oh dear!
I forgot my parking coupon,
I'll get a fine if I don't go now.
Tell you what, please help yourself,
do enjoy the meal,
but don't wait for me.
Hey! Wait!
You're not a gentleman if you leave.
I'd rather not be a gentleman,
then have you rip me off.
Hello.
Hello. Is this Coffee Prince?
Hey Xiao Hong, what is it?
Are you free now?
I've a favour to ask of you.
No problem!
Name it! I'll do anything.
Come.
Who are you looking for?
We're looking for Mr Tay Guan Meng.
He's in a meeting. What is it about?
How can we publish such a design?
Mr Tay, your father's here.
Dad.
Why did you bring him here?
Ah Meng...
Who are you people?
Why are you doing this?
I'm the nurse taking care of your father.
When he was more conscious earlier
he asked to see you.
So, he's now seen me.
You can bring him back now.
I'm still in a meeting, please see yourselves off.
Mr Tay, life is unpredictable,
do cherish what you have.
Your father risked his life to see you.
I don't need you to teach me what to do.
Get this straight,
I'm paying the hospital so you can look after my father,
and not for you to interfere in my familial affairs.
She's just trying to help by bringing your father here.
Even if you don't understand filial piety,
can't you at least put on an act?
I don't see the need to.
I want all of you to leave now!
And stop giving me trouble.
Trouble?
Is talking to your father
or seeing him too much trouble for you?
Don't you remember who gave you life,
raised you, and gave you an education?
How could you treat your father like this?
Where's your conscience?
Conscience?
You have a conscience right?
Then take him back home!
Get out of here now!
Or I'll call the police!
Ah Meng...
I'll definitely pursue this matter.
I'll make sure you lose your job!
I don't understand
why you are doing this.
I've been taking care of Uncle Tay
for about 2 months.
He was delirious when he was admitted.
He finally gained consciousness a few days ago.
And all he said was his son's name.
I've been trying to contact his son for the past few days,
but he's always saying
he's busy at work, and can't find time to visit,
it's just a whole load of excuses.
He just doesn't want to see his father.
I know Mr Tay really wants to see his son,
I hope to fulfil his wish.
Things that should be done, must be done.
I didn't expect someone like you
to be a beer girl too.
My job responsibility
entails caring for terminally-ill patients.
Every other day,
I see patients die one after another.
When I go home each day,
I'd feel very depressed and sad.
So, I wanted to use my free time outside of work,
to be in a happier place, to make myself feel better.
That's why you're a beer girl?
I get to make extra income, and meet many people too,
and it helps me forget all my unhappiness,
what's there not to like about being a beer girl?
Bubbles, up!
Any idea what's the time now?
You're very late!
I'm not late,
I was at a matchmaking session and the woman was late.
It's not my fault.
Matchmaking?
Is matchmaking more important than the dogs?
You're right.
She's heavier than ten dogs put together.
Start the car!
Look, the dogs are gone.
They probably think that we're not coming.
Don't blame everything on me.
They should wait if they want to be fed.
Wow! You've reared some smart dogs.
When you whistle, they whistle in response too.
Here are the goods, where's the money?
What money?
Stop acting like you don't know anything!
Do you want to examine the goods?
Take it, take it!
CID!
Bring back all the contraband cigarettes!
Sir, I really don't smoke.
Take a sniff if you don't believe me.
Right?
I don't smoke,
so why would I buy the cigarettes?
People who traffic drugs,
don't necessarily take the drugs themselves.
If you're not there to collect the goods,
then what were you doing there?
We were feeding the stray dogs.
Feeding stray dogs?
If you're not buying cigarettes,
were the two of you having an affair?
An "old cow" preying on a young girl?
Hey! You can insult me, but not old cow!
I mean, don't you insult the young lady.
We are kind-hearted people,
and we were really there to feed the stray dogs,
Listen up! We're not having an affair!
Sir, have you heard about mad dog disease?
By feeding them, you're actually putting others at risk.
Please call the animal control department to follow up on this case.
Why didn't you just admit to having an affair?
What are you afraid of?
Is it such a crime to have an affair?
You want everyone to think we have an affair?
And for them to say
I'm an "old cow" preying on "tender grass"?
Have you considered my feelings?
Why do you care about what other people say?
It's all about your own pride,
what about my feelings?
It's precisely because I care about your feelings,
that I told the truth
I don't need you to care about my feelings
I just want you to spare a thought for the dogs.
What feelings do dogs have?
But you're not a dog!
So how would you know?
If the dogs are killed,
can it get past your own conscience?
What has that got to do with me?
Fine! I'll be telling the truth from now!
And admit to having an affair!
Are you satisfied now?
You have no conscience!
You're a murderer!
Yes, I don't have a conscience,
I'm a murderer!
What are you looking at?
Is there writing on my face?
Moo... Moo... the old cow's here.
Pal, having lost your virginity only at 50,
you don't have to be held responsible.
She's the one who should be!
That's right! Do think twice about abortion,
it's risky.
Don't sprout nonsense.
If this matter spreads,
How am I going to face everyone?
Still denying?
You two were having a lovers' tiff at the car park,
I saw everything.
Something about being a murderer,
that having an affair is not a crime...
If you're a man, have the guts to own up to your deeds.
Exactly! An old man with a young girl,
we are all green with envy,
why would we laugh at you!
Yeah, we won't laugh!
Wow! What's the happy occasion?
A really joyous occasion.
Someone's wedding?
Moo's wedding.
Wow! That calls for a celebration.
Half a dozen.
Coming right up!
Half a dozen?
Beer's here.
Xiao Hong, let me help you.
I must get drunk today
so that I'll get a good sleep.
Do you really want to sleep well?
Eighty cents.
Eighty cents, sir.
Eighty cents, sir!
Fishball noodles, $3.
Sir, you ordered fishball noodles right?
$3
To Lim Chu Kang.
Lim Chu Kang.
Hey! To Lim Chu Kang!
To feed stray dogs?
What dogs? Get moving!
Sorry, sorry.
Moon!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Quick! Over here!
Come! Up! Up!
Bubbles!
Front seat, front seat.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Ready? Quick!
Well?
Don't worry.
They have food, lodging,
and professionals to care for them.
If I could, I'd move in with them.
It's all your fault! All your fault! All your fault!
They're my friends!
It's all your fault! All your fault! All your fault!
Let me tell you, from now on,
I don't owe you anything.
If anything happens to your dogs in future,
it's none of my business.
Says who?
I want you to owe me for a lifetime!
Let's go!
Time to go, miss.
I have to work.
Fine!
I'll book your services for the entire day.
Will $100 do?
Are you insulting me with money?
Let me tell you, I'm all about heart, not money.
Oh really?
What if it's $100 more?
Wow! It sure feels good to be insulted!
Let's go!
When I was young,
I'd watch the clouds lying down like this,
for the longest time.
What's there to see?
Let yourself go, and you'll feel light as the clouds
like you're lying amidst them.
Princess, I may be just a frog,
but I truly love you.
Kiss me, quickly.
Is there such a line in the script?
Don't bother with the script, just kiss me.
Come on.
Argh! You lustful dog, you're molesting me!
I'll get you! I'll get you!
Come back! Stop running!
Come back!
Come back! Come back!
Come back! Stop running!
Where are you go?
Let's go.
You go ahead.
I'd like to stay longer.
Miss, the dogs are all gone.
Why do you still want to stay around?
The dogs may be gone, but the place remains,
and so do the memories.
Memories?
What memories?
Nat and I used to hang out here all the time.
Nat?
That's your boyfriend's name?
Yes.
So you're talking about your boyfriend.
I thought you were referring to the dogs.
Nat could make great music, and he played the guitar.
We had lots of beautiful memories here.
Nat once told me,
if I could just be less wilful and headstrong,
he would bring me to a place with snow.
And we could leave our footprints in the snow.
If I could do it all over again,
I would give up everything, just for that.
Sadly, this is a wish that can never be fulfilled.
I'm afraid of the cold.
Or I'd go with you.
I can't even remember what we were quarrelling about that day,
Nat and I had a heated argument.
Apologise! I want you to say you're sorry!
But it's your fault! I can't always give in to you!
I'm not doing you any good if this goes on!
I don't care! I want you to apologise!
Moon, stop being so wilful.
Slow down!
You'll regret it!
Watch out!
The doctor told me,
If not for someone calling the ambulance in time
I'd be long gone.
What is it?
A mosquito.
Moon,
why do you always wear a hat or some headgear?
I don't want to forget the past,
And this will help me hold on to my memories.
I think we should see less of each other from now.
Why?
I don't like that you're too good to me,
and always giving in to me.
Are you nuts?
What's bad about me being good to you?
I know,
you're afraid you'll forget your boyfriend?
You're right.
If he did not get to know me,
he would probably still be well and alive now.
Many things in life are predestined.
It is not a sacrifice for a man to die for the woman he loves.
He wouldn't want to see you in this state either.
I know my words will all be lost on you.
It's been so long,
you have to learn to let go.
Perhaps you should stop wearing the cap?
What do you know?
I can't make myself face the world.
And I don't know how to communicate with anyone.
Neither do I want to forget the past.
Listen to me, take off your cap.
People who don't know you may just think you're bald.
It's not funny at all!
You're still young,
and life must go on.
Don't dress like you're a widow,
no one is going to sympathise.
I don't need anyone's sympathy!
Why do you want to be like the guide dog?
Giving up heaven so you can go with your boyfriend to hell?
It's my choice.
Don't you bother!
Have you ever asked your boyfriend?
Is this what he wants?
Why must you do this?
I don't ever want to see you again!
You're the devil!
My irresistible charm.
Hello, Xiao Hong. You miss me?
Zi Gao, I've been fired by the hospital.
I'm taking the 3.30pm flight back home today.
I just wanted to tell you, I'll miss you.
Thank you.
Xiao Hong!
Do call in to the hotline 66911972.
I hope the songs we've played
are a reflection of your feelings right now.
If there's anything you would like to convey on air,
do call in to the hotline 66911972.
Over radio
to convey your thoughts to those you care about most.
This is very special experience.
Don't just keep them to heart.
There's a caller. Hello?
Is this the radio station?
Hi! This is LOVE 972. I'm Lilian.
And you are?
Lilian, my girlfriend's leaving,
I'd like to say a few words to her.
You mean she's leaving Singapore?
What do you want to tell her?
Xiao Hong, this is Wang Zi Gao.
Don't go, please stay.
You can always find another job.
If it's about the permit, I'll marry you.
There's really nothing wrong working as a beer girl.
And if we're broke, I can count on my buddies to help.
Let's work hard together for our future.
That's very touching!
Xiao Hong, I hope you heard what he said.
Follow from that, I will like to delicate the next song to you.
Wishing your happiness.
Xiao Hong! Wait for me!
Wait for me! I'm on my way now!
What? Xiao Hong's leaving?
Xiao Hong.
Sorry Sir, I'm in a hurry.
What's so important?
Do you know that reckless driving
is dangerous?
Xiao Hong's leaving!
I'm going to the airport to stop her!
She's my life.
Just book me, but hurry, please!
Look.
I didn't have a single drop of alcohol today.
I bought them all because of you.
Thank you Sir!
Hey! You can't park here.
Just do what you have to!
Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong!
Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong!
Hey! Don't shout!
This is the airport, not your house.
Don't be a disgrace to us Singaporeans.
Xiao Hong!
I said don't shout!
Xiao Hong!
Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong!
Xiao Hong! Don't go.
Please stay, I'll take care of you.
Don't you like me?
I miss my family, I want to go home.
I've got to go.
Hey! Why aren't you stopping her?
Hurry!
Ah Gao! Ah Gao!
I heard what you said over the radio.
I bought you an air ticket, and here's your passport.
Go get Xiao Hong back, quick!
Go!
Thanks Mum!
Hurry! Hurry!
Xiao Hong!
Zi Gao!
Why are you here?
I'm coming with you.
How long does the flight to Beijing take?
I'm going to Shanghai.
MUM!!!
Wow! This is a nice place.
If I had some tea, it'd be perfect.
I just can't forgive myself.
I keep telling myself he's not gone.
As long as I don't see his tablet,
I can keep on telling myself he's still alive.
Nat Lee?
I've found it!
You can finally be at peace now.
Did the accident happen at Seng Kang?
This is Police hotline
Hello, is this the police?
There's an accident along Seng Kang Road.
Any casualties?
Hold on, let me check.
Don't faint, don't faint.
If not for someone calling the ambulance in time that day,
I wouldn't have survived the accident.
So you were the one in the car.
Wow! You've thought it all through.
I will start my life afresh from today.
Then, can we still see each other?
Let's leave it to fate.
Where are you going?
Let me see you off for the last time?
What are you talking about?
I don't think my time's up yet.
Let me bring you somewhere.
Where?
To fulfil my wish
Hey, didn't you ask me to let go of the past?
Why are we here again then?
I believe,
you won't go with me to see the snow.
Since you appeared in my life,
everything has changed.
You care for me and give in to me,
you put up with all my nonsense
and remain by my side despite everything.
I felt like I found Nat's presence in you.
You were like an extension of him.
I know I'm deceiving myself.
And now, I finally understand
Nat is gone for good, and will not be back.
Uncle, please don't put me in a spot.
The smell is overwhelming.
Get off. Get off.
How am I putting you in a spot?
Uncle,
the smell of your durians are very pungent.
Other passengers may think that I farted,
and send in a complaint.
Get off, get off.
I can't bring them onto buses, nor take the MRT,
and even taxis won't take me now.
What am I to do?
Does it mean I can't eat durians anymore?
Let's see, why don't you
take your time, finish them here
And once you're done,
I'll come back for you, how about that?
You're crazy!
It is really tough making a living as a taxi driver.
We slog day and night, with no annual leave and no CPF.
Can't even apply for sick leave, well, not until we're dead.
Seriously, I feel like quitting.
Please don't.
Why not?
You forgot what happened to Blackie?
After he got his taxi licence suspended,
he still hasn't found a job.
So he went to his MP for help.
Guess what his MP told him?
Don't tell me,
the MP offered him money?
Dream on!
The MP said, since he was jobless,
he could try being a taxi driver.
Customers are always right.
We'll ferry them wherever they want to go.
The sky is gloomy, the clouds are dark.
His face is darker than coffee.
Feel.
