Auntie
Our clothes...
This doesn't look right
- Yeah - What are you talking about?
These are the outfits I wore
when I was chosen as Miss Meatball
God, I didn't think they'd still look good today
I'm so touched
When people see you,
they will say,
"Whose daughters are they?
How cute they are"
Really. They look great on you
Don't move
You guys, don't move an inch
I'll go get it
Shiao-You, don't move
Beautiful
Are we really gonna go out like this?
Yeah, it's kind of embarrassing
I know
Shan-Tsai, Shiao-You. Look
Our Prince Charming is here
Ching-He
God, Ching-He
You look just like
Mr. Tempura back when
I was chosen as Miss Meatball
Really?
- How handsome you look - Thank you
That's it
That's it. Perfect
Shan-Tsai, I'm here to take you to the party
No way
- Come on - No...
I'm not getting in the car
Stop pulling me
That's so cheesy Let's go
No
Come on, Shan-Tsai
It's all we've got
Over my dead body, Shiao-You
Stop pulling me
We're gonna be late and then we won't have anything to eat
- Hurry up - No. No...
Master, it's almost time
Get in the car
We're gonna be late
Go...
Yes, master
You don't look too good
Who would in a car like this?
It's so cheesy
How about some music?
A-Chin, give me some music
Live
- Okay - What do you mean live?
Glittering lights
Your seductive voice
Made me lose my mind
I didn't know you were untrue
and I fell for you
- I'm getting out now - My innocent love
was stolen by you
The more I think about it the sadder I get
A beautiful gown like this
Is this really mine?
If it's not,
then why does it
feel so real
Why do I get the feeling
that the gown and I are meant to be together?
It must be God's will
Letting me wear this gown,
so that people will finally notice me
I don't know why
I'm so nervous
Tonight will be the beginning of a wonderful dream
Come on. Come here
What a great party
Is… is this the party Chin was talking about?
This is too much
There's a TV star there
Where?
Dau Ming Sz is over there
Shan-Tsai, where are you going?
What should I do? How should I face him?
There really are celebrities
I'm gonna go get autographs
Ching-He
You're that red bean girl
Aya
Can I have your autograph?
Thank you
You're Blackie, right?
Can I get your autograph?
You're Aisa and Mai
Shan-Tsai
You're here
What's with the...
Oh yeah, did you just get here?
Did you see A-Sz?
A-Sz, Shan-Tsai's here
What's that?
Unbelievable
What's with your attitude?
What are you so upset about?
I should be the one who's upset
After what I went through
Being kissed, and twice for that matter
I'm the loser here
I'm totally jinxed. What a jerk
He doesn't feel sorry at all
Have we met before?
No
Nice to meet you
Of course not
I never forget
a cute face
After the party...
Please watch what you say to my friend
Let's go...
Shiao-You
You'll get pregnant just by talking to him
No way
That'd never happen
Don't believe a word he says
He's dangerous
Think of him as a virus
Stay as far away from him as you can, okay?
You're too much
Shi Men
OK, I'll stay away from her.
I was so nervous
when he was talking to me
He's so good-looking
My heart was pounding like crazy
Come on, grow up
It's true
Dau Ming Sz is not bad either
He's not as scary as you say he is
You don't get it
I can only say they're Godzillas in disguise
If you go anywhere near them you're doomed with bad luck
Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday party
I hope you will have a wonderful night tonight
Please
Shan-Tsai
That Teng Tang Chin is really pretty
Shan-Tsai
Yeah, Chin is really pretty
What a perfect couple
Yeah, they look great together
The tenderness in Hua Tze Lei's eyes
is for Chin and her alone
Dau Ming Sz
Long time no see
Why did't you call me?
No, I've been busy
So...
Those rich boys
They just love to social
What is it?
Shiao-You Let's find a place to sit
Okay
Um...
There's less people on that side
Let's go over there
I'll go get Ching-He
Wait for me there
Okay
All right
Thank you
What are you doing here?
Because I don't like it inside
I think people are so fake
I'd rather drink here alone
And you?
I...
It's okay...you don't have to tell me
What would you like?
Anything
Gin Tony
Bartender
Gin Tony
Thank you
Cheers
Hua Tze Lei looks especially gentle tonight
That's because it's Chin's birthday
Can I have another glass?
Bartender
Gin Tony and Vodka straight up
You're Sara from Walkie Talkie, right?
- Yeah... - Can I have your autographs?
Okay...
- Well... here - Let me...
Okay, thanks
Where's Fion?
He's busy working
Liar. You're splitting up, right?
No
What's his problem?
You're...
Excuse us
- Thank you... - What? Wait a minute
- Thank you - Come here. You're a disgrace
Look, I have a book full of autographs
Stop it. You're embarrassing me
There's two more over there
- Come here - Wait
Stop pulling me. I'm not done yet
Lee-Jen, you're here
Ching-He
Hold on, let me introduce you to someone
This is Shiao-You
You're...you're so pretty
I'm Shan-Tsai's high school friend
My name's Shiao-You
Hi I'm Lee-Jen
Where's Shan-Tsai?
She's by the pool
Shouldn't we go find her?
Why do you have this?
You don't deserve to wear that
Dog
You better get out of here
Are you okay?
I'm sorry. I'm gonna go
What now?
Let's go see
Thanks
Actually, I think...
I forgot what I was going to say
You had too much to drink
Actually, I've always wanted to ask you
Why are you and A-Sz always so violent?
No wonder he likes you
Don't compare me to him
I'm not like him
Thank you for coming to my birthday party
I hope all of you will
have a blast tonight
Happy birthday
Thank you
Today is my 24th birthday
And I have
an announcement to make
I, Teng Tang Chin
will go to Paris next month
And I will not return to Taiwan
in the near future
Daddy. Mommy
Please forgive my willfulness
Just pretend that you've married me off
Chin, what are you saying?
You just got back
Mommy
I've decided to go to France
to pursue my doctorate in law
And I will work to help
disadvantaged people for the rest of my life
Nonsense
You are my only daughter
You will take over Teng Corporation
Daddy
That's yours, not mine
I will make
my own future
So from now on,
I am no longer the doll of Teng Corporation
Beautiful clothes
and perfect hair,
to me, are no longer important
From now on,
I will be myself
Hua Tze Lei
Don't disturb him now
What will Hua Tze Lei do?
From the look of it
they might not be able to see each other again
About our contract with your company
Do you think you can put in a good word for me?
I never interfere with my dad's business
In regards to the contract,
wait until I take over the business
But that won't happen in 7 or 8 years
I will think about your proposal,
that is, if you're still around then
Thank you
Snob
Like father, like son
What are you doing over there?
Eavesdropping on me?
I didn't mean to
I was going...
I have something to say
The son of a business tycoon
Look at you, all proud and all
It's disgusting
I am proud
With a business like ours,
they always come crying to me
when they can't find my dad
It's survival of the fittest
It's only natural for a company
who tries to go through the backdoor to be eaten up
A poor girl like you will never understand
I didn't know you can be so eloquent
I'll bet that's what you did with the models back there
Playing them around like fools
What are you talking about?
Those women are after me because of my money
Because the Dau Ming Sz name
can satisfy their desires
Do you think I'd like those kind of women?
Listen,
stop talking nonsense
Sorry
But...
You should apologize as well for what happened the other day
Even though I don't know why you did what you did
But if you apologize,
I'll pretend I was bitten by a dog and forget the whole thing
Dog? You're calling me a dog?
It's just a metaphor
Just apologize
No, why should I?
It's your fault
Say you're sorry
It's all your fault
Tell me what I did wrong
Apologize now
Look at you
You look like an idiot
Don't drink if you can't
It's none of your business
This is an Armani suit
Go away
Shan-Tsai, get up
Ouch
You still have feelings?
Getting drunk like that
You're still underage, you know?
Come on, mom
My head is exploding
Girl,
do you know how you got home last night?
Oh yeah
Wasn't I at Chin's party?
How did I get back?
Master Dau Ming Sz brought you home
What's that look on your face, mom?
What are you thinking?
Shan-Tsai
You are my daughter all right
Look, I have this...
What is it?
The Cinderella Chart
That's the first time he came to our house
That's when he first kissed you
That's last night...
He brought the drunk Shan-Tsai home
Wonderful
What's this?
This used to be an ugly duckling
That's you
And it's about to turn into a swan
My Shan-Tsai
Wonderful
Everything's going according to plan
My dream is about to come true
You're saying that Dau Ming Sz and I I...
Last night,
you threw up all over Master Dau Ming Sz
Oh yeah
I remember now
This is an Armani suit
Go away
Thank God Master Dau Ming Sz didn't mind
Or else you'd be in big trouble
My dream
Okay, get your butt up
and go to school
When you see Master Dau Ming Sz
apologize nicely
Get it?
According to the chart, it should work
in about two more tries
My head is bursting, mom
Stop it
No, you're going to school no matter what
Breakfast is on the table Don't forget to eat
Wear something pretty Be cute
It made the front page today
I wonder how Hua Tze Lei is doing
Why are you staring at me?
Nothing
Are you okay?
I'm fine
Shouldn't I be?
Surprised by Chin's decision, huh?
Do you think this is a good idea?
There's nothing wrong with it
It's her decision
That's how Chin is
She won't change her mind,
no matter what people say
When we were little ,
Chin always talked about being herself
So
I think Chin made the right decision this time
But...
You might never see each other again
Don't you want her to stay?
Maybe we try asking the angels for help again
I'll go buy some fireworks
We'll ask her to stay
There's no need to do that
I told you
No one can change Chin's mind
I won't force her to do anything she doesn't want to
So you're just gonna let her go?
If Chin leaves,
will Lei's heart go with her?
Or will distance and time
mark an end
to their relationship?
What about Lei and me?
What am I thinking?
How can I be so low?
Chin
Shan-Tsai
Oh yeah
Thanks for coming last night
I'm sorry about messing up the party up
I hope I didn't spoil your fun
I'm here to get my report card
Chin
Don't go to France
You can study law here too
Shan-Tsai, what is it?
Please
I know I have no right to say this
But please stay
For Hua Tze Lei
Please don't leave
All this time,
my meetings with Hua Tze Lei on the roof
have been my motivation to come to school
But I know
how much he likes you
And now you're going away
I know he will be very very sad
I don't want to see
Lei sad
because you're leaving
So...
will you stay
for Hua Tze Lei?
Actually,
I know how you feel
But it's not going to happen
I've already made up my mind
There's no going back
I know it's impossible
And I know how stupid I must seem
Shan-Tsai
But
Chin
Please stay
I don't know what else to do
I will try
even if the chance is only one in ten million
Please
Don't leave Hua Tze Lei
Shan-Tsai
I think making a decision
is like shopping in a foreign country
When you see something you like and don't buy it,
you'll lose it forever
once you take that plane back home
A lot of people say,
"Only if I had done this or only if I had done that"
I don't want to end up like that
I hate regrets
I want to walk out my life
with my own two feet
Whether the road is smooth or muddy
It will be my own decision
I want to be Teng Tang Chin
and not be known as Chin of Teng Corporation
or as anybody else's Chin for that matter
So...
I will go to France
It's my choice
Do you understand?
Chin
I'm sorry. Please forget what I said
No
I'm happy that you came
You're a very dynamic person
No wonder you can take on A-Sz and F4
I really like you
Really
Goodbye
It's hard not to look up to her
She has everything that a girl would ever want
But she's throwing it all away
to become the woman that she wants to be
Now I know why Hua Tze Lei likes you so much
What was that all about?
Who asked you to do that?
Why did you say those things?
What were you thinking?
Getting down on your knees like that
I can't believe you did that
But...
You looked so sad
And you two might never see each other again
It's none of your business
Hua Tze Lei
- I... - Go
Go away!
Lei, if you can't stop your tears from falling
just stand on your head
and then the tears
will go back where they came from
Have you learned that?
Still can't find him?
Can you keep an eye out for me?
Okay, thanks
No
Nothing
I can't believe he's not here to say goodbye
What?
What are you doing?
It's a present for Chin
How interesting
What's inside?
Wanna see?
Yeah...Can I?
Okay, just a peek
Be careful
It took me a long time to wrap it
Here, hold this
Dau Ming Sz, you're really boring, you know that?
- Why are you giving Chin this? - What an idiot
If Hua Tze Lei had a skull
half as thick as him,
he wouldn't be in so much pain now
What are you thinking?
Dau Ming Sz
Have you ever really liked somebody?
Like?
What do you mean?
I'm thinking
maybe that's what liking a person is all about
To suppress your own feelings
and set the other person free
To let them do the things they want to do
It's about not being selfish
Maybe in time, the feelings will fade away
and come to an end
Idiot
That's stupid
That's just like nothing ever happened
What if she dies tomorrow?
Then wouldn't there be regrets?
If it were me, I would go after her
Why did you ask me that out of the blue?
A simple-minded guy
with a shocking statement
He came up with the answer
that neither I nor Hua Tze Lei could figure out
I'm thinking
Maybe you're not so dumb after all
Well, now you know
France Air flight number 284
All passengers going to Paris,
please proceed
to the boarding gate
I'm sorry. I can't find Lei
Take care of yourself
You guys too
Chin, this is for you
Chin, be careful. ..
It's okay...
I will treasure this
no matter what's inside
Keep in touch
Chin
If you see Lei,
say hi to him for me
Here goes
I can picture Chin,
who has given up her fancy outfits,
on the streets of Paris with a pair of jeans
How full of life she will be
I know she will be wearing her best shoes then
I don't believe Lei
He still didn't show up
Let's go
Lei
What are you doing?
Chin already left
When did you get here?
An hour ago
An hour ago?
Did you see Chin?
From behind the pillar
Behind the pillar?
The pillar
Why were you hiding?
You're just a coward
If you really like her,
go after her
The four of you
are so used to having the good life
That's why you don't even have the courage to face the truth
Look how brave Chin is She chose her own future
Can't you be more like a man?
I'll take the next flight to Paris
Yes! Now you get it
Go! Go get her!
Shan-Tsai
I really like you
You have the tenacity that I don't have
You made me see
that nothing comes by waiting
I need to
go after it myself
Thank you
Really. Thank you
Journey of love
How romantic is that?
You win
Take care
Bye, Hua Tze Lei
Lei is usually
quite absentminded
I didn't know he can be so aggressive
when he gets down to business
Shan-Tsai is the one who got through to Lei
But isn't she crazy about him?
I told you
That's not possible
When did he say that?
That's how he and Lei got into a fight
in the beginning
Forget it. Just pretend he said it
But we'll be lonely
without Lei
Maybe he'll come back with Chin
after a while
Shan-Tsai
Let's go out on a date
What?
What are you talking about?
You hear me?
I'll tell you the time and place later
The plane is too loud
What did you say? Speak up
How can I say it again?
Are you stupid or what?
Let's go
You're crazy
Shan-Tsai, let's go
Lei should have seen Chin by now
Yeah
Hey, A-Sz, what are you doing?
I can't believe A-Sz, who never reads the paper,
is reading a book
What are you doing?
Give it back
"The Psychology of Dating"
You're going out on a date
With who?
The model you met that night at the party?
Yeah yeah
I figure there's one or two things
I can learn from the book
Hua Tze Lei should have seen Chin by now
Shan-Tsai, where did you go?
I've been looking all over for you
I'm gonna go buy bread You want some?
Or do you want cold noodle ?
But sweet breads are more filling
Or do you want both?
I'll go buy them
What are you doing?
Sunday, Time Square, 2pm
What?
You're asking her out on a date
How dare you say that to my Shan-Tsai...?
Why did I say my Shan-Tsai?
What did you say?
Nothing. Nothing
Didn't you say you were gonna go buy some bread?
Why is everybody acting so weird?
I can't believe it just slipped out of me
No way
He has no reason to ask me out
What is he up to anyway?
Sunday, 2pm, Time Square
It's probably trouble
What's with the weather?
It's raining cats and dogs It's freezing
Sunday, Time Square, 2pm
He can't be still there waiting for me
Okay...come on, let's go What are we having for dinner?
Let your dad have the bitter gourd It cools the blood
It's burdock
Burdock, that's what I need
17 dollar. Well ...
Mom, what time is it?
What time?
2:30
What, are you hungry again?
No
Don't scare me
You just had lunch and now you're hungry again
You're just like your dad
What am I so worried about?
There's no reason for me to go
Seeing him on Sunday too?
That's too much
Isn't this on sale ?
- Did you take the discount? - Yes
- Are you sure? - Yes
Don't get it wrong
Mom, I need to go
Where are you going?
I got something to take care of
Will you be back for dinner?
Yes... Mom, let me borrow your umbrella
What about me?
Some daughter
I'm sorry...Continue
- Did you do it right? - Yes
Do it again. I didn't see it
You don't have an umbrella?
Want us to lend you one? It's raining pretty hard
Don't talk to me
Go away, you dogs
We were just being nice You don't have to be so mean
What took you so long?
Do you know I've been waiting for four hours?
You wanted to come I didn't say I would
How can you say that?
I waited for four fours
Who do you think you are?
You could have gone back home
You could have called me
I don't have your number
How did I know if you were coming or not?
What if you got hurt on the way?
I waited for you from morning to night
It's freezing
Fine
I'll take you out for tea
Come on
What's up with him?
What's he so mad about? I didn't ask him to wait
My legs aren't as long as yours
- I can't catch up... - Hi, miss
Can you help us with a survey?
I'm in a hurry You're in a hurry?
We'll give you two free movie tickets for your time
But...I don't have time
You don't have time?
It'll only take three minutes, miss
Hey, what are you doing?
No, nothing
I'm sorry...Excuse me
You just love picking up guys, don't you?
Can you behave yourself?
- I am behaving - Let's go
Ouch
Dau Ming Sz
Is this place expensive?
I only got 150 on me
Shoot
Dau Ming Sz
If I'm treating you,
shouldn't I be the one deciding where to go?
What? You don't have any money I'll pay
Don't look down on me
I know I don't have much,
but it's the thought that counts
Hey, you only have 150
How do you think you're gonna go in there?
That's not even enough for tips I'll pay
What do you mean by that?
Don't poor people have rights to treat someone out?
Don't look down on me
You only have 150 Stop arguing with me
Is it necessary to let the world know how much I have on me?
Then what do you want me to do?
Why are you so loud?
Who's the one being loud?
You. Admit it
You want people to laugh at us?
Who dares to laugh at us?
Welcome, Master Dau Ming Sz
Look, they're here for a show
Be quiet. Get in
Don't come in no matter what happens outside
- Go - You think that by threatening
they won't laugh at you?
I told you. Not here
Let's change a place then
Get out here
Do we need to pick a place to fight?
Okay, let's stop fighting
Aren't we going for tea?
I'll take you to a place where even 150 can get good tea
Okay, let's go
It's locked
Open up Anybody outside?
Stop yelling
It's embarrassing being locked in here
Besides, I warned them to leave us alone
Based to my past experiences,
my warnings work quite well
Fine
You owe me one
We'll go down the stairs and take the elevator
I owe you?
You're the one who brought me here
Face-saver
It's cold
Let's get in the elevator
Aren't you afraid of people laughing at you?
Over here
It's locked too
Stop staring at me
We can always go back
Yeah, so they can laugh at us
Go down
Anybody?
Open up
Hello?
Strange
Why are all the floors locked up?
Dau Ming Sz Don't you think it's strange?
No way
Even the first floor is locked
Open up
Hello?
Open up
Stop yelling
It's a wholesale store
It's closed
No one will hear you
Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
How would I know we'd end up here?
What now?
Let's go back to the restaurant
No way
It's locked too
Somebody help us!
Dau Ming Sz
Don't you have a cell phone?
Where is it?
It's dead
Why did you bring it then?
What time is it?
Oh no
Dau Ming Sz must be really angry
He's not answering me
It's so hot and stuffy in here
No
I can't take my jacket off
I'm wearing a front closure bra
It's too dangerous
Don't come over
Don't come any closer...
Stop it, Dau Ming Sz
Shan-Tsai
What are you doing?
Don't come near me
I'll bite my tongue, I swear
It hurts
Don't come any closer
I'm gonna kick you
Go away, you pervert
Go away
Oh no, not in a hundred years
Strange
What's with him?
He normally hits back
Dau Ming Sz
No way
You're burning
I can't believe you hit me You...
I didn't mean to
Why didn't you tell me you were not feeling well ?
How would I know if you don't tell me?
God, in a building like this
No one will ever know we're in here
And Dau Ming Sz has a fever
What now?
It's all because he made himself
wait in the rain
He asked for it
But...
What are you doing?
It'll keep us warm
Stop
Come here
Let me go
Be quiet. Listen to me
Come here and lie down
Try to get some sleep
Someone will come get us
in the morning
Stop talking. Go to sleep
Why did you get up?
Your fever is down
You don't feel so hot now
Sorry
If apologies work,
what do we need the police for?
How's your leg?
Numb
But it's all your fault
What's it got to do with me?
Why should I apologize?
What are you laughing at?
A big guy like him
seems like a willful kid now
At this moment,
it's hard to believe
that he's the leader of F4
He can be cute sometimes
I'm sorry
I'm all you've got now
Your mom will take care of you
when you get home
I haven't seen my parents in two years
They live in New York,
because of my dad's job
New York?
You live by yourself
in that huge house of yours?
You must be very lonely
being there all alone
Lonely?
Yeah right
I'm never lonely
No wonder you're so weird
If I were you,
I'd be more cynical
Okay, say it's my fault
I'll make it up to you
Just say the word
What are you doing?
Wait a minute
Not that kind of making up
What are you guys doing?
What are you doing in there?
You young people
I know you like excitement,
but you shouldn't be in there
You should go to a motel It's much safer
If it were my daughter,
I'd break her legs
It's morning
Let me help you
- No - Come on, it's okay
- No - It's okay
How are you gonna get back?
The metro
Shan-Tsai
Nothing
You sure you don't want me to take you home?
Be careful
A young girl
staying out all night
Not coming home until morning
What do you have to say for yourself?
When I was your age,
I had to be home before 9pm
Not like you
You should try to be a good girl
Come
I can handle it
Tell me the truth
How many bases
did you cross last night?
Mom
Nothing happened
Nothing
Tell me
Did you go to home base?
No
Third base?
No
No?
Okay, then...
Go to bed
You must get your beauty sleep
All right
Our daughter
- She's safe for third and home base - Safe
So they must have been talking the whole night
It worked
All right It worked...
We're such good parents
It's okay. As long as third and home base are safe
Right? Even if she was out all night
They need to connect
Yes
The more the better
Set the base straight
and the love will grow
Even though we're poor
and my parents are kind of nuts,
they still care a lot about me
I wonder if anyone's
taking care of him now?
I wonder if his fever is down
Why am I thinking about Dau Ming Sz again?
I must have a fever too
Shan-Tsai, good morning Congratulations
Good morning, Shan-Tsai
Shan-Tsai, congratulations...
Thank you
Shan-Tsai, congratulations
What for?
What's going on?
Everybody's been saying that
ever since I got to school
What's this all about?
Aren't you officially Dau Ming Sz's girlfriend now?
I saw the picture on the bulletin board
It's the big news on campus
The bulletin board
How disgusting
That's gross
Yeah
I can't believe it
What's going on?
Chu Yuan-Chang
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty
One thing is said to have
a strong connection with him
The moon cake
It is customary to eat moon cake on Mid-Autumn Festival
But I'm sure you all know
the interesting story of how moon cakes came about
In order to call the people
to rise against the Mongols ,
Chu Yuan-Chang put something
inside the moon cake
to get the message to the mass
Shan-Tsai
Can you tell the class
what that was?
Egg yolk
Applause...
What a great answer
Actually, they were tiny slips of paper
inside the moon cakes
But if that wasn't the case,
who would have thought there can be egg yolks in moon cakes?
Right? Applause...
What a great answer
You have a bright future ahead of you
- The future pillar of our nation - No way
Not the teacher too...
