[upbeat music]
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.
[Annie] So, the only solution
is for you to pretend to be Charlotte and talk to him.
You can't be serious.
[in English] [Olivia] Hi.
[in Cantonese] Long time no see!
You promised to go to Lamma Island with me and celebrate my birthday there.
Could you, at least, fulfill that promise?
-What? -What?
[Francis] Elvis Ip.
He wants to keep seeing me, but you know me.
If it's fun, one night is enough. [chuckles]
[Geoff] Open them and see if you like it.
[Priscilla] I already have a boyfriend.
[in English] Sorry.
-How about-- -How about we never see each other again?
[Geoff speaking English] I hope you and your boyfriend are happy.
[theme music]
[theme music continues]
-[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.
[Sunny] Headmistress.
So, what's your take?
Uh, my take on what?
Every parent and student know you got drunk last Saturday
in Lan Kwai Fong.
[headmistress] What's your take on that?
Oh, um... [clears throat]
Well, I don't usually go to such places.
It just so happened that it was an old classmate's birthday,
so I went drinking.
Our school places a strong emphasis on teacher conduct.
I hope that you can maintain a proper image even after work.
I'll watch myself.
Actually, I don't want to meddle in your personal affairs,
but to be honest, I only hired you out of respect for your parents.
I hope that you won't do anything that would disappoint them.
I understand, headmistress.
[headmistress] You may leave.
I'll be heading to class, then.
[Annie] I'm here. Where are you?
[Olivia] I see you.
Don't worry, once I walk you through it, it'll be fine.
I know, once I get the chance, I'll tell him I have a boyfriend,
so he'll give up hope. It's fine.
I know.
You're here early.
My friend's here, Mom. I better go.
-[Annie] Call me when you're at Lamma. -Bye-bye.
Let's get going.
Going?
The next boat to Lamma Island will arrive in 20 minutes.
-We're not taking this boat, though. -What?
Come with me.
[Annie] Huh?
Why is she going that way? Where are they going?
[upbeat music]
[Jarvis] I rented this boat just for today.
[Olivia] I'm screwed.
I'm going to be all tanned
-trying to be all romantic with him. -Let's go.
[light music]
Are you bored?
Would you like to try steering this?
No, I don't know how.
It's really easy. Here, I'll show you.
-Seriously? -Yes.
Relax.
-Here? -Don't be afraid.
What, like that?
It's easy, right?
Okay.
Wow, this really works.
[Jarvis chuckles]
[light music]
This is interesting, it's like eating french fries.
-Have some more. -[giggles]
How did you learn to do so many things?
Back when I was in Italy, I didn't have many friends.
There was nothing to do, so I just roamed all around the place,
learned to sail, learned to cook, those kinds of things.
I envy you.
-You envy me? -[Olivia] Mm.
Going alone to a strange country and finding yourself all over again.
That's quite nice.
In the beginning,
I really thought I could start over.
I didn't expect that I wouldn't forget the past.
Every time I went to a beautiful place
or ate something delicious,
I thought of sharing it with you.
[Jarvis] And you?
Did you find someone who loves you?
No.
Not yet.
I love sailing out a lot.
Hong Kong's landscape is truly beautiful.
Especially at sunset.
I never get tired of seeing it.
Yet, it will never be as beautiful as you.
[cell phone chiming]
[Jarvis] Why didn't you answer it?
It's one of those marketing calls, there's no need to answer.
Once we've watched the sunset, why don't we go to Lamma Island?
How about at Picnic Bay?
That works, too.
Here.
Try another one.
[somber music]
[cell phone chimes]
I'M ALREADY AT BANYAN BAY, WHERE ARE YOU?
[somber music]
Come in.
This is where I work.
Why did you become a shoemaker?
It's quite a unique career.
Because of you.
Me?
Remember how you would put on your mom's shoes
and send pictures to me while you were young?
Back then, I really wanted to make a pair of shoes for you.
Look.
"Jarvis and C."
Jarvis and Charlotte,
meaning you and me.
I've always wanted to thank you
because you gave me this dream.
Otherwise, I'd still be roaming around with no direction to this day.
What does that have to do with me? You fought hard to get it yourself.
You kept at what you wanted to do. I think you're quite something.
So, what's your dream?
My dream is to be like Hemingway and travel to different places,
and writing along the way.
And, just like you, persevere at what I want to do.
You know, you never talked to me much back then.
But you're telling me so much today, it makes me happy.
Thank you.
It is your birthday, so that's a little something for you.
There's actually one birthday gift I've always wanted.
I wonder if you'd fulfill that wish.
The dream that I have...
is to make you a pair of shoes myself.
Come.
[light music]
[pencil rasping]
[light music continues]
It's been a long time since someone has treated me so tenderly.
Then from now on, I'll continue to treat you tenderly, okay?
[light music]
[upbeat music]
[Elvis] Smoking a pipe all alone?
You again, Serial Killer?
Do you see anyone else other than me?
Is it because everyone calls me Serial Killer,
that you think I have no feelings?
Actually, getting a random girl to sleep with me
isn't considered a challenge for me.
But finding one
I want to make breakfast for,
that really is hard.
Even now, I can't bring myself to wipe it off.
[chuckles]
Hello?
I'm busy tonight.
Another time maybe.
All right, bye-bye.
I think I'm out of eggs.
Wanna come and get some with me?
[cell phone chimes]
[Geoff] I'm flying to the US tomorrow, I won't be back for a little while.
[Max] What are you doing here?
I wanted to give you a surprise.
-[Max chuckles] -Does that make you happy?
-I'm very happy. -[chuckles]
Because no one has ever picked me up from work.
-Silly. -[chuckles]
Have you had dinner?
I have.
[Francis inhales deeply]
-Good morning. -[Elvis grumbles]
[in English] Morning.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Because you're handsome.
[both chuckle]
Then this time, you should give me that last point.
Still at it?
I'm really hungry.
Hmm. Then I'll go make you breakfast.
Great.
[sizzles]
We haven't seen each other in a while.
When can we meet up?
[cell phone chimes]
[Elvis] I haven't made breakfast for someone in a long time,
how about giving me the chance to cook for you?
[cell phone chimes]
[somber music]
[sizzling]
[utensils clink]
[somber music]
[knocking]
Hey, hello. Breakfast will be served soon.
[Francis] I'll pass, I need to attend a meeting.
See yourself out when you're done.
All right, bye-bye.
[Olivia] Are you there?
[sea_wave] What's up?
I did something that I would probably hate myself for doing so.
I kissed my best friend's secret crush.
[sea_wave] Oh, my.
[Olivia] I wouldn't dare to contact him anymore
and now I can't even face my best friend either.
[sea_wave] Just be honest. It's the only way out.
[doorbell chimes]
[chiming continues]
[door clicks open, creaks]
[Annie sighs]
Are you forgetting something?
I'm sorry.
[scoffs]
So, it's true.
[in English] "I can't forget that kiss."
How could you do something like that?
You knew I've liked him for over ten years.
[Annie] How could you do this to me?
We both drank a little that day
and got a little drunk.
So we were both just a little impulsive.
And I decided that I won't ever see him again.
I'm sorry.
"Impulsive"?
You didn't kiss him because you were impulsive.
You just couldn't bear to see your friend have it better than you!
You don't have your own boyfriend, so you don't want me to have one.
You're just being selfish!
I'm being selfish?
If I was, would I have gone to see him in your place?
If I was, would I have stood in your place since we were young,
given you beauty tips, so you would be more self-confident?
Did I ever ask for your beauty tips?
Did I ever ask you to stand in my place for me?
Ask yourself, was it really for my benefit,
or do you just enjoy being a bossy, self-righteous person?
You never saw me as a friend.
You just wanted someone who has had it worse to compare yourself with.
Have you gone insane?
You talk to me like that over a man?
How many years have I known you?
You're the one who's insane!
You betrayed our friendship over a man!
Girl, be honest.
You said you don't want to be an influencer,
but you clearly enjoy it.
What now, then?
It was just a kiss.
Do I have to die over it?
Must you speak as if I've done something unforgivable?
How old are you again?
You think you can take it out on me just because you're upset?
"It was just a kiss"?
This is a guy I have liked for over ten years!
I'm not nearly as low as you, as ruthless as you.
You can't even let go of the man your friend likes!
You're calling me a liar, right?
What about you then?
You dated him over MSN using my photo for years.
Did you ever think to ask me?
If you're so great, go get him back yourself.
Why count on me now?
You're right.
I shouldn't have counted on you.
I shouldn't have counted on you from the very start!
And I never will again!
[somber music]
[sobs]
[sobbing continues]
[somber music]
[Mr. Hong] What's with that look? Is the stock market down?
[Amber] My dream boy is leaving tonight, I doubt he'll return to Hong Kong again.
[Mr. Hong] Do you mean Geoff Lam?
[Joyce] If not him, who else?
He's handsome and a great plastic surgeon. He's indeed a rare catch.
[Amber] I have nothing left to live for.
You girls know too little.
Geoff's expertise isn't plastic surgery, it's general surgery.
-General surgery? -General surgery?
Five years ago, he was still a doctor in Tuen Mun.
Not many people knew that.
Back then, he had a girlfriend. I think they were about to get married.
A ten-car pileup in Tuen Mun happened that one particular day.
[Mr. Hong] He operated for ten consecutive hours.
Worst of all, he realized the only one he couldn't save was his girlfriend.
After that, he went into plastic surgery, because it didn't concern lives.
[Joyce] How do you know all of that?
All of Lan Kwai Fong from five years back knew that.
Hoi Lam!
[somber music]
TEN VEHICLES INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN TUEN MUN ROAD
I asked you whose dress is this?
Give it back!
[Geoff] Hey, don't! [groans]
[somber music]
[cell phone chiming]
Hello, Sunny?
[Sunny] Hey, get over here right away.
I found something really important in the box you left here.
[Sunny sighs]
When I was cleaning up this morning, I accidentally knocked over the box,
and accidentally dropped the pendant inside, it broke.
But I found out that there were words inscribed inside.
[Priscilla speaking English] "You are my only one."
[somber music]
Sunny,
he's at the airport right now, headed to the US.
Then go after him! What are you doing here talking to me?
[Sunny] Get your bag! Your bag!

Why is love so simple in the movies?

[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
[Priscilla] Geoff, I know about your past.
All this time, my friends said you were selfish.
It wasn't until today that I realized I was the selfish one.
From the very first day I met you,
I worked hard to achieve a lot of things
because I wanted you to like me more.
I really wanted to date you seriously and I wanted you to be my boyfriend.
Yet, I neither made an effort to get to know you
nor know the pain that you hid.
I'm very sorry.
I wanna start over again.
I want you to know that it's all right if you can't accept me now.
We'll take it slow, because I will wait for you.
But I know that it's too late to say that now,
because I missed out on us.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[Priscilla] People say women are made of water.
One moment, we're gentle and the next, we can sear you like steam.
It is that quality that makes our friendships icy too.
We appear strong, but we're fragile deep down.
Just one little betrayal can smash it to pieces.

[Priscilla] But I know, no matter how many setbacks my life has,
no matter how far I fall,
my best friends will be there to catch me.
Because our friendship
is stronger than diamond.
SEX AND ALCOHOL
I don't know, but I guess drinking makes you feel sexually aroused.
Like you'd have the urge to grope something,
to kiss someone or to go down on them.
I really don't know what alcohol does to you.
As for me, it just works like a sleeping pill,
I just get drowsy after drinking alcohol.
But for others, they'd get all horny and they'd look for sex.
Sometimes you'd see a man and a woman getting their tongues entangled,
and you can see them sliding their hands underneath each other's pants.
It's very unsightly.
You wouldn't be able to tell much if a guy isn't drunk,
but once he gets drunk then you'd start seeing his true colors.
Sometimes they would randomly grope the girl next to them,
like what happened to my friend.
If the hookup is consensual then they'd leave the place early,
that or it's a simple matter of "Oh, they've gone home to do it."
Or perhaps they'd get a room at the hotel.
Or if you're into the kinky stuff, then you would do it in the toilet.
Your inner feelings are reflected when you're drunk,
so if you're feeling excited, that feeling is intensified a hundredfold.
I've seen girls going home together with a guy,
only for the girl to ask her friends,
"Who did I sleep with?" the following day.
I guess you can say that women are always at a loss,
men would never know what goes on behind the scenes,
it's just sex for them.
