[upbeat music]
[Annie] You're exactly as I imagined,
so romantic, so sentimental.
You're already drunk?
[Jarvis] Wouldn't that be dangerous for me tonight?
Let's go. I'll take you to your home.
[Geoff] Don't go.
[in English] I've really missed you
these last two months.
[Priscilla] I drank too much with Joyce and the rest last night.
[Annie] Did something happen?
[Jarvis] I'm sorry.
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.
[Priscilla] The truth is, Annie was Charlotte.
[theme music]
[theme music continues]
[light music]
[Annie] When I was in middle school,
I can't really say that I was the attractive type.
But the first time I saw Jarvis,
I couldn't help but fall in love with him.
After spending two weeks of my allowance,
I finally got someone to help me get his MSN ID.
[keyboard clacking]
[Annie] I knew that he wouldn't be interested in me,
so I made up a fake identity to get to know him.
[chimes]
[Annie] Eventually, Jarvis and I fell in love in the cyber world.
If Jarvis and I had a happy conversation on MSN the night before,
I would see him glowing the next day in school.
And if we argued,
he would look down and gloomy the next day.
[light music]
[Annie] What worried me the most was
that Jarvis wasn't only infatuated with me,
but he also developed a fetish for women's feet because of me.
[light music]
[pencil rasping]
[Annie] After much thinking,
I decided I should stop on lying and deceiving him,
so I broke up with him,
and permanently deleted the Charlotte account.
This has probably influenced me to choose Psychology as my major.
And now he tells me that
if he doesn't find the reason why Charlotte left him,
he doesn't think he can accept another woman for the rest of his life.
So, the only solution is...
for you to pretend to be Charlotte and talk to him.
Are you crazy?
What does this have to do with me?
Because, back then, I sent him your picture.
So, to Jarvis, you are Charlotte.
You can't be serious.
You're the only person that can help me right now.
If you don't agree to help me,
I'll let go of you and you'll ruin face as you hit the floor.
Please, no! This is what I use for living.
[both grunt]
If you agree to help me,
I will give you Cheer Chen's Collector's Edition Demo 1 CD!
-And it's the out-of-print version! -The out-of-print version? Deal!
[grunts]
[cell phone chimes]
CHARLOTTE TANG HELLO, DO YOU STILL REMEMBER ME?
[tense music]
CHARLOTTE TANG VIEW FACEBOOK PROFILE
[sighs]
Is that him?
Wow, he's half an hour early.
That's why we don't have time to rehearse.
Is your earpiece in?
-It is. -Let me test it.
-Can you hear me? -I can hear you.
Do you remember what to say?
It doesn't matter even if you don't
because I'll be here to prompt you.
When you're ready, go in.
Good luck. I'm counting on you!
[in English] [Olivia] Hi.
[in Cantonese] Long time no see!
Actually...
we've never even met.
Oh, that's right!
[awkward laugh]
Can't you put on a better act?
[Annie over earpiece] Ask him how he's been.
How have you been?
I'm pretty good.
[sighs]
I've been wanting to ask you...
how did you find me?
I saw your profile on Facebook, so I added you.
It's that easy?
But I searched yours for a long time and I couldn't find you.
[Jarvis] I searched you on Facebook.
I also tried on Instagram, but I never found you,
so I gave up.
[clicks tongue]
Why aren't you saying anything?
Now's your chance to tell him.
[Annie] Actually...
-Actually... -When I left without an explanation...
When I left without an explanation,
-...I've always felt very guilty. -I've always felt very guilty.
-I asked you to come today to tell you -I asked you to come today to tell you
-that we weren't right for each other. -that we weren't right for each other.
So I hope you can soon forget the past and start anew.
I understand.
Thank you for making time and telling me all this personally.
Anyway,
I'm really happy that we finally met.
Hm, it's good that you understand.
Since we've cleared things up,
I'll go now.
[Jarvis] Wait a minute.
Do you remember? For my 18th birthday,
you promised to go to Lamma Island with me and celebrate my birthday there.
[Jarvis] It'll be my birthday soon.
Could you, at least, fulfill that promise
and go to Lamma Island with me?
-What? -What?
[Annie] I was talking to myself. I wasn't telling you to say it!
I promise you,
after this trip to Lamma Island with me,
I won't bother you again.
[Olivia] This can't happen. What are we going to do now?
[light music]
[Olivia speaking English] Hello, welcome to Thann.
Feel free to look around.
-Is there anything I can help you with? -[Sunny] Any recommendations?
[sales woman] I recommend you try this one.
This contains 98% rice bran oil and antioxidants.
You can use this for massage to help relieve your aching muscles.
Hello, everyone!
I'm here trying on jewelry.
I would like you all to help me make my choice.
There are two designs here.
Help me choose the one that suits me better.
-[groans] -[all laugh]
I applied too much on you.
You can also use it as a bath oil or body oil.
-[Sunny] I would like both. -Great, I'll wrap them for you.
I put on a lot.
-It smells really nice. -On the important spots...
Wow, that's so pretty!
I like that one better.
-[all laugh] -Yes.
They both look good, right?
You're so bad, always sweet-talking me!
Okay, let me tell you that I'll upload a new clip tonight.
Remember to watch it. Bye!
-It's beautiful! -It's pretty! I love it, Olivia!
-It really smells nice. -I want to try on this one.
That one looks nice, too.
Which occasion is it best suit for?
[in English] Hello, Geoff.
[in Cantonese] Tonight?
Sure, but let's not go to the Waterfront. It's too expensive.
I suddenly want to eat potted rice because I haven't had it in a long time.
[indistinct chatter]
Great. See you!
[in English] Miss you, bye-bye.
Somebody just clearly said she was going to meet Max tonight.
-I think so. -That's right!
[in English] Oh, my god!
What do I do?
What else can you do?
You need to cancel one.
Unless you want to have a three-person dinner.
Oh, shit.
[chuckles]
Let me think...
I got it.
[in English] Hello, Max.
[in Cantonese] Yes, uh...
Olivia said she's feeling a bit under the weather,
so I want to spend time with her tonight.
Why don't we have dinner another night?
Are you not happy?
[in English] I miss you too.
Oh, my god.
[chuckles]
Aren't you happy?
I never thought Priscilla would be a two-timer.
Since when did people start ignoring the word "faithful"?
Well.
Psychologically speaking, the more choices you have,
the more you'll be afraid of making the wrong choice.
So, Priscilla is not making a choice
because she fears she might regret her choice.
The weirdest thing is, no matter who you pick, you may regret it.
It's just two-timing. They both have their good points, so just keep them both.
So what? It's not like she's serious.
But I'm not as good as you. You can handle two men.
You know, every time I look at Max...
I feel guilty.
I feel like I'm such a bad person because he is really very good to me.
So it is safe to say
that you've been fooled by the idea of monogamy.
Because you know, humans are naturally polygamous.
I mean, why do we have to be monogamous?
[Sunny mutters]
Actually, monogamy has some serious issues.
If we decide to be monogamous,
why can't it be like internet service?
You can renew your contract every three years.
[giggles]
If you know right away that you'll be with someone for decades,
you'll stop cherishing him even if you do.
[Priscilla] If a relationship is like a contract
that can be renewed or canceled,
would we cherish the people we're with even more?
If so, would cheating still happen?
[upbeat music playing]
Who keeps on messaging you?
[chuckles]
-Elvis Ip. -[laughs]
Does he still contact you?
[groans]
He wants to keep seeing me, but you know me.
If it's fun, one night is enough. [chuckles]
If all woman were as cool as you, the world would be more peaceful.
-Cheers to you. Cheers! -Cheers!
[both chuckle]
-Let's dance. -Okay.
[in English] Let's go.
[breathes heavily]
Keep dancing! Keep dancing!
That guy over there. Do you recognize him?
[Francis] Which one?
That one, in the leather jacket.
This isn't the first time I ran into him.
I keep thinking he looks familiar, yet I don't recognize him. Do you?
I am not interested in uncles.
Uncles? Shit!
Could he be someone my parents sent to check on me?
This is not good. Get your things, we're leaving!
Let's go! Stop drinking. Aren't you scared?
[shushes]
[upbeat music playing]
[tranquil music]
I'm taking a holiday next month.
Why don't we go to Spain together and try the local sangria?
A trip?
Mm-hm.
Hmm, my vacations have to be approved by the company.
I'll ask for approval.
-Okay, check with them first. -Mm.
[Priscilla speaks English] Okay.
Close your eyes.
[tranquil music]
[Geoff] Open them and see if you like it.
You always say I never get you flowers.
This is to make up for everything I never gave you.
[light music]
Why?
You don't like it?
No, I love it.
Thank you.
[in English] Good.
[Priscilla] I already have a boyfriend.
[in English] Sorry.
[in English] Okay.
I understand.
-How about-- -How about we never see each other again?
[tense music]
Have you ever actually loved me?
[in English] I hope you and your boyfriend are happy.
I'm gonna go.
[somber music]
[Priscilla] Who exactly am I to you?
You've never acknowledged me.
I have no way of knowing how many people you can love
at the same time.
It's already late.
-Come in. -All right.
[Priscilla] Sunny...
[Sunny] What is it?
Hey.
Can I leave this box with you for now?
What is this?
Uh, it's what's left of the love between me and Geoff.
You and Geoff broke up?
We've actually broken up a long time ago.
Or you could say we've never been really together.
Just now, I told him that I already have a boyfriend.
If he said he wanted us to start over again, I would.
Hm.
I asked him, "Have you ever actually loved me?"
He didn't answer.
He really doesn't care about how I feel.
Hmm.
[Priscilla] When he's free, he asks me to go on a vacation with him.
When he's not free, he could go a month without contacting me.
-[Sunny] Hmm. -[scoffs]
But Max is really nice.
He seems to know what I need every second.
He makes me feel like I exist,
but sadly, he doesn't make my heart race.
[Priscilla] But a lot of people say that when you look for a boyfriend,
you must find one who loves you more than you love him
because that would make you happier.
Am I right?
[Sunny sighs deeply]
Since you've thought things through, that's good.
You agree with what I said?
Huh?
I kind of agree.
[sighs]
But don't you feel that in this life,
you have to find someone that you like the most
and never give up on him?
Baby, what do you really want to do?
It seems like you haven't thought things through.
Ah, I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
[Priscilla] If I already knew Max before I met Geoff,
I would definitely love him.
Why do the heavens have to play with me this way?
[Sunny sighs]
But if you hadn't met Geoff first, how would you have met Max?
Hey, you have two men.
While me? Not a single one.
I didn't even curse the heavens.
Then why are you mad at the heavens now?
Regardless, what do you want me to do with this box?
Keep it here.
-Fine. -Thank you.
[sighs]
[groans]
I'll put it here.
[cell phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
[Priscilla] Hello?
[Max over phone] Hello? I'm off work.
Would you like me to buy some food and bring it to your house?
Max, I'm at Sunny's place now.
[Max] I'll go home by myself then.
[in English] Miss you.
[in English] Miss you too.
Mm. Bye-bye.
Here you are so messed up over Geoff that you want to die.
And then, here you are also saying things to Max, like...
[in English] "Miss you, too!"
[clicks tongue, sighs]
Could it be that love is really built on a bed of lies?
[Sunny] And such an absurd example is here right before me.
Oh!
Oh! Love.
-[sighs deeply] -[Priscilla] Oh, love.
Where are we going later?
I'll go wherever you want to go.
Actually, I'm a little tired today.
Hmm, why don't we just watch a movie at home?
Okay.
By the way, I have a reunion with my former classmates tonight.
Would you like to come with me?
-Tonight? -Mm-hm.
A reunion? Oh, no. I've never been to one.
What are you worried about? It's just a reunion.
You're not meeting my parents.
[suspenseful music]
Hey, what are you doing?
I think I'm being followed.
Followed?
-Uh... -There's nobody there.
Huh?
[sighs]
Are you all right?
You look a little tired lately.
Don't get so stressed out.
Yes.
-I'm going back to the school. -Thank you, headmistress.
I'm sorry, we're late!
-[all laugh] -[Dep] Wow.
-You're with a beautiful girl. -You must drink as your punishment.
[Max] This is my girlfriend, Priscilla.
[Priscilla] Hello, everyone.
[Fei-Fei] You're so pretty!
Thank you.
-[Fei-Fei] Have a seat. -[Mayvis] Come have a seat.
-[Fiona] What would you like to drink? -Anything's fine.
Priscilla doesn't drink white wine, so how about red wine.
Okay.
You're so sweet!
Here, let me introduce you to them.
This is my friend, Fei-Fei.
-Hello. -This is Dep.
Hello.
-[Max] This is Mayvis. -Hi.
[Max] And this is Fiona.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Priscilla.
Let's drink together.
[in English] Cheers.
-[all] Cheers! -[glasses clinks]
[burbling]
Since everyone's here, I can now hand out the invites.
-That's right! -Congratulations!
[Fei-Fei] Max, if you'll bring Priscilla, let me know in advance.
-No problem. -I'll save you a seat.
Good for you.
[Fei-Fei] I designed it myself.
[Mayvis] It's really nice.
Do you two have any plans on getting married?
[chuckles]
Well, you have to ask Priscilla.
Uh, no.
We've only started dating. It would be too fast.
It's not fast. Let me tell you.
Reservations are so hard to make these days!
[Mayvis] It takes at least two years. Two years before you get an opening.
Don't scare her. Not everyone wants to marry as bad as you.
[Mayvis] Pardon me for being frank, but I'm telling you.
When women hit thirty, the wrinkles, bad skin, acne scars,
they all come out!
[Mayvis] And those women who just had kids?
Wow, their bodies become so disgusting!
So, if I were you, I'd latch onto Max without any delay.
[Mayvis] Right? Don't you think? [chuckles]
[Dep] I want to latch onto Max, too.
-[all laugh] -Come, let's drink.
-[Mayvis] I'm just kidding. Let's drink. -[Dep] Let's drink.
Have you already found a boyfriend?
Not yet.
That depends on destiny, okay?
[Dep] Your destiny is here.
Aren't you good enough?
[all laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Priscilla] This is just a dinner and I get pressured about getting married.
-These women are crazy! -[cell phone chimes]
[in English] [man 1] Sunny, cheers.
[Sunny] Max is such a catch.
If I were you, I'd pressure him to marry me.
We've only dated for a few months.
How can it happen so fast?
[Annie] That's where you're wrong.
From a man's point of view,
the first months of dating is when they want to get married the most.
Hurry up if you think he's the one!
[Olivia] I don't get why women think that getting married is an accomplishment,
while women who don't marry are considered to be in the lower class.
It's just marriage, not winning a Nobel Prize.
What's the big deal?
[in English] [Francis] Agree!
You'll get divorced if you get married.
What's there to be happy about? [clicks tongue]
[Annie] A survey showed that even in the happiest marriages,
there will be 200 times you'll think of divorce
and 50 times you'll think of killing your partner.
That's why marriage is a desperate battle.
Either of us will be dead.
[Priscilla] I'm really in a desperate battle here.
They're just sipping their drinks.
I'm bored to death.
[Annie] I'm ready to leave.
Want to come out to do some real drinking?
[Priscilla] Then one of you call me.
I'll pretend to leave for something urgent.
[Priscilla laughs]
[Sunny] I'll call you. I'm the best actress among us.
[Olivia] The usual place?
[Francis] Yes, the usual place. See you girls. Mwah.
Sorry, something just came up. I have to go.
-You're leaving already? -Yes.
[in English] [kid 1] Good afternoon.
[in English] Good afternoon, Rexy.
-Good afternoon. -[chuckles]
Good afternoon, Macy.
Good afternoon, Miss Sunny.
My mom told my dad you are a bad girl.
Now, why would she say that?
Because my mom saw you got drunk in Lam Kwai Fong on Saturday.
Oh! [awkward laugh]
Great.
-[Miss Chan] Miss Sunny? -Yes?
The headmistress wants to see you in her office.
Okay, then help me look after them. Thank you, Miss Chan.
[in English] Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
Thank you.
AGGRESSIVE MEN AND WOMEN
Some women are aggressive.
They would get near men whom they think have potential
and pretend to be drunk.
She's usually an ordinary office employee then she's suddenly changed.
One time, she was drunk and she really wanted to be picked up.
Then... [chuckles]
She gets herself really drunk.
She opens her legs and reveals her white underwear,
but the people around her are like when Moses parted the Red Sea.
Nobody picked her up.
Actually, they only have one goal when they go out.
To be picked up by men.
Yes.
I go out just to have fun... [chuckles]
...not to make enemies.
I think some women go out to find sugar daddies.
They'll drink with them and make body contact.
They'll pretend to be drunk and ask them to take them home.
I think everyone knows whether you are seeking to take advantage or not.
One time, five or six of us went out drinking and two men left.
When they came back, they were holding women in their arms.
And then suddenly, a bunch of guys with tattoos came at us.
That's when we knew they hit on the women of those gangsters.
Then they both got beaten up so badly.
