[upbeat music]
Hello? Max?
Well, I found a pen at the restaurant
and figured we could meet up again so I can return it to you.
Okay. See you next Wednesday.
[all shrieking, laughing]
Have you guys ever heard of a guy named Elvis Ip?
[Sunny] The one said to have slept with 1,000 women?
[Francis] I might have been 1,001.
Someone I really wanted to see was supposed to be going tonight.
[Jarvis] You came alone, too?
-Mm. -Then, why don't we go in together?
I'm afraid that I would hurt you.
But you can't stop me from liking you.
[Priscilla] I want to give us a chance.
[theme music]
[theme music continues]
This doesn't look like the place. Have you been here before?
No, I haven't.
The address my friend sent me should be just up ahead.
The GPS says that, too.
Let's get a closer look.
Okay, sure.
Did we pass it?
[distant traffic noise]
-Let me see if this is it. -Oh...
Careful.
[buzzer rings]
[ringing continues]
[gasps]
[Annie] Be careful.
Here, come in.
[Annie] Thank you.
[slow jazz music playing]
[Jarvis] This is it. Watch your step.
[Hung] Jarvis! Right here!
Hey!
That way.
Hung, this is Annie.
-Hello. -[Annie] Hello.
She's quite pretty.
Quit schmoozing. You'll scare her off.
[chuckles]
Don't think that he's ever serious. He has a great way of mixing drinks.
He adjusts them based on how he feels about each person.
Let's see what you got.
[Hung] Sure.
-I'll be deciding your drink then. -[Jarvis] Mm.
[chuckles]
-[Hung] This is yours. -[Jarvis] Thank you.
-[Hung] Here's yours. -[Annie] Thank you.
[Hung] Try it.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
[Annie] Mm.
Such an interesting taste. What is it?
[Hung] This one's called "Forget-Me-Not."
"Forget-Me-Not."
[both chuckle]
[Hung] Enjoy. I'll be working.
Mine's quite unique, too.
[Jarvis] Would you like to try it?
[romantic music]
How is it?
What?
Oh, it tastes great!
Uh, all these years in Central, and I'd never seen this bar before.
How did you find it?
Actually, this bartender and I, there's a story to it.
After graduating from high school,
I went to the Arsutoria School in Milan to study shoemaking.
In the beginning, things were extremely hard.
You know, when I started, my Italian was no good.
I had no money, no friends,
and forget about meeting girls.
When I hit my lowest point,
I went to a bar.
Hung was working there then.
I remember the cocktail he made for me.
When I took the first sip...
Mm.
...it was so incredibly strong.
But as I kept drinking,
it became kind of bitter.
The funniest thing was it became sweet in the end.
That cocktail made me realize
someone finally understood what I was going through.
[chuckles]
So when I knew he came back to Hong Kong to start this bar,
I decided to bring you here.
You're exactly as I imagined.
So romantic,
so sentimental. [chuckles]
You imagined me a lot?
[Jarvis] Like what?
[sighs]
I must be a little drunk. I'm starting to talk nonsense.
You're already drunk?
Wouldn't that be dangerous for me tonight?
Maybe it's dangerous for me.
[both chuckle]
Cheers.
[sighs]
[both panting]
[both laughing]
[Annie sighs] What did you drag me up here for?
[Jarvis] I brought you here to see that high-rise I used to live in.
[Annie] I know that.
[Annie] I thought I had finally reached the stage I had dreamed about all my life.
Who would have guessed that life was beyond my control?
[Joyce] Pretty good.
This wine is pretty good.
[Amber] Hey, look over there!
Over there.
He's so handsome!
-[Joyce] Isn't that Geoff? -[woman chuckles]
Tell me something...
What do you want to know?
-I wanted to know... - Who's the one beside Geoff?
I don't know.
I think they're models.
Sorry.
You barely passed.
What's that? Only a pass?
[in English] Calm down.
[scoffs]
I know it's hard to hear.
Or do you want me to lie to you like other men?
Wanna get prettier?
Tell me what else I'm missing.
I want to be perfect.
Do you have a pen?
Thank you.
Your left eye is higher than your right by 0.3mm.
[Joyce] She's slim and has a nice figure, too.
But you're still better, Priscilla.
-[Joyce chuckles] -Ha!
Look!
Look at him!
Is he a plastic surgeon or a model?
He's so handsome!
He's so handsome in person.
It would be great if he came over to hit on me.
Come on. Do you only judge people by their looks?
-What? -Handsome men have no conscience.
They can be handsome as well and still have no conscience.
Yeah!
-Well, that's true. -[all giggle]
So, you have to find a handsome one.
And also, here.
You'll need Botox.
What? Is there that much that needs fixing?
Isn't that better?
-What happened, Priscilla? -I'm fine.
-Why are you so down? -I'm fine. Let's drink. Mm.
-Cheers. -Let's drink, cheers.
[Geoff] Call me if you need anything.
[in English] Bartender,
two drinks for the girls, please.
Okay.
-[Amber] He's coming over. -[Joyce] He really is coming over.
Hi, girls.
[Joyce] Hi.
[Amber] Hello.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello.
What is it?
Nothing, I just wanted to greet the three prettiest ladies
in the whole bar.
[Amber] Oh, you really think we're prettier than those two models?
-Of course! -I love you!
-Cheers. -[Amber] Cheers.
-Cheers. -[Joyce] Cheers.
Yeah, cheers.
May I take a seat?
-No! -[Amber] Sure.
[in English] Don't be like that.
I've always thought you were the sexiest man in Central.
-Thank you. -[giggles]
[chuckles]
But honestly, I don't think I am.
No way.
On the contrary, I find your friend very damn sexy.
Priscilla, he means you.
Is that so? Of course not.
How could I be as sexy as your two girlfriends?
-They're clients. -That's impossible.
[in English] It's business, just business.
[in English] Oh, you're so busy.
[chuckles]
So, what are we eating?
Chicken, would you like some?
Yes.
Yes, chicken.
Have more, you like it.
You're breathing fire, Priscilla!
What are we drinking?
Wine, but we're almost out.
Oh, really? How about I treat you?
No need! Excuse me.
I would like two glasses of Sex on the Beach for these two.
Thank you.
And I will take the check.
Why? Leaving already?
Yeah, I'm meeting Keith. Did you forget?
-Think about it. -We just got here.
No. See, he's calling, the phone's ringing.
-Stay, stay, stay. Don't go. -I gotta go.
All right, let's finish our glasses.
Cheers.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Right, let's go!
-I'm going to pay. -Sorry, I can't keep you company
[Priscilla] Excuse me. Excuse me.
-Thanks. -All right, all right.
Over here. I would like to pay.
Later, then.
[bartender] What about your Sex on the Beaches?
-[Priscilla] I don't want them. -[bartender] Okay.
Okay, this way. Thanks!
[Amber in English] I am great! I deserve a great one!
[Joyce in English] Yes!
Where are you going, Priscilla?
-I'm going home. -[Joyce] I don't wanna!
Be good and obey!
[Amber] Let's keep partying!
[Priscilla] Monday meeting at 9:00 a.m., all right?
-Be careful. -[Amber] I don't wanna go to the meeting!
Get her a glass of water when you're back.
I want a doctor.
-To Quarry Bay, please. Thanks. -Come on, get moving.
-Thank you. -Drink, doctor.
[Joyce] I want a doctor! I want plastic surgery!
-[driver] Where are you going, miss? -Caine Road.
-[driver] No, I can't. I'm off duty. -Not even Caine Road?
Are serious? I'm calling the cops!

[both groan]
Be careful.
[keys clatter, jangle]
[Priscilla] Here, lie down.
[both grunt]
[pants]
Hey.
[Priscilla] You stink. Take your jacket off.
Come on.
[Geoff groans]
[both sigh]
I'm leaving.
[in English] No, no!
Don't go.
Please stay.
[Priscilla in Cantonese] You should drink more water.
No, no, no.
Don't go.
Don't leave.
[breathes deeply]
You've got quite the colorful life.
[scoffs]
No.
I don't.
[in English] I miss you.
You always say that when you get drunk.
I can't tell if you're saying it to me or to other girls.
[in English] I love you.
[in English] How much?
[in English] I've really missed you these last two months.
Please...
come back to me.
[in Cantonese] Do you still love me?
[in English] Yes.
[in Cantonese] Of course, I do.
But I don't feel it.
I've really missed you.
I really miss you.
You're the one who I miss the most.
[sniffles]
I was so unhappy when you yelled at me last time.
I was unhappy for a long time.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
That was the first time you yelled at me like that.
-[Priscilla sobs] -I'm sorry.
I'll never yell at you again.
[in English] Stay with me.
I missed you so much.
I missed you, too.
[sensual music]
[Francis panting]
[both moaning]
[both panting]
You were awesome.
I haven't gone on that long for so long.
Me, too.
[both breathing heavily]
[sighs]
And me?
How was I?
You?
[panting]
[Elvis] What are you looking for?
Hey!
What are you writing?
-"Sixty-six"? -[Francis chuckles]
My score can't be that low.
[Francis] It's 99.
That's more like it.
[Francis] I'm giving you a 99 for technique.
Next time, I'll be sure to give you that last point.
Next time? Why don't we keep going now?
Now is good.
[Priscilla] Francis, having been around Central for so many years,
was clear about the limit to set with men.
But that remaining point, however,
Francis somehow slipped
and even looked forward to getting that point from Elvis.
YOU HOME ALREADY?
I'VE PACKED UP. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO TO YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU? I'M GOING TO BED NOW.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER YOUR PHONE LAST NIGHT?
[Priscilla] Sorry. I drank too much with Joyce and the rest last night.
HOW ABOUT I COME OVER TO SEE YOU?
Don't bother. Amber got too drunk last night.
I brought her back to my place, and she's still sleeping.
THEN AFTER I GET OFF WORK TONIGHT, I'LL COME OVER
[somber music]
[Priscilla] Okay.
[Priscilla] I remember a lesson we had in school.
"Be honest, never lie nor deceive others."
But no teacher ever told us
that the older you got, the harder it was to stay honest.
[somber music]
[Priscilla] Meanwhile, Annie was going through
what I went through weeks ago.
Annie feared saying "I miss you" too soon might have scared off Jarvis.
[sighs]
She even thought using Chinese might have come across warmer.
But it's too late for all that now.
So, Annie finally made up her mind.
[waitress] Enjoy.
Thank you.
Hi.
[Annie] Thank you.
[Jarvis] Sorry.
I'm sorry for not replying to your WhatsApp message all of a sudden.
Did something happen?
Am I rushing things too much?
No.
It has absolutely nothing to do with you.
It's me.
I actually haven't dated someone in a long time.
That's all right. We can take things slowly.
[Jarvis] It's not as simple as you think.
Technically speaking,
I've never had one relationship in my whole life.
[Jarvis] During high school, MSN was really popular.
[keyboard clacking]
I met a girl on MSN.
Her name was Charlotte.
We talked about everything. We talked every night for hours.
[computer chimes]
[Jarvis] She was in an all-girls' school and her parents were very strict,
so we never got to meet.
But as long as I could chat with her every day,
I was really happy.
I had an interest in shoes because of her.
She would always wear her mom's heels in secret,
then take photos to show me.
That's when I realized how beautiful women's shoes are.
But a week before my birthday,
she suddenly sent me a shoemaker's memento
and a birthday card.
In the card, she said she wanted to break up with me.
After that, she never went online again.
I thought if I left Hong Kong
and went to the other side of the world, things would change.
Or if I met a girl...
as nice as you,
then I could start over.
But the facts show that I can't.
As long as I don't know why Charlotte left me,
I don't think I could accept another woman for the rest of my life.
[Jarvis] Sorry, Annie.
[groans]
[Priscilla] Annie didn't know how to respond to what Jarvis said
because he simply didn't know the truth.
The truth is, Annie was Charlotte.
GROPERS IN THE CLUB
There's bound to be moments where you're randomly groped.
There will be some dirty dancing and people get too close to you.
Whenever I'm out clubbing, I don't know why,
but I always come across Westerners groping my ass.
I mean, it happens because you're in a crowded area,
so people tend to come over and touch you.
Some of the guys would just edge in closer to you,
and start touching your hips or waist and you would sense what they're up to.
When it goes overboard, I just...
Like, there was this one time I was in a foul mood,
I nearly took a glass ashtray and hit a man,
and I was this close to doing so if I wasn't stopped by some people.
When you see some drunks, sometimes, you just...
elbow them away.
You just gotta do it, like pushing them away.
You have to, otherwise...
All those playboys think about is sex.
They won't fancy me, right?
They certainly prefer sexy ladies wearing short skirts.
I was walking,
and suddenly, there was a person who touched my waist.
Before I even considered my actions or looked at him,
I just smacked him for touching me.
Then, I quickly turned around and glared at him.
He was shocked.
