We've started our descent.

Please put your seatback up.

Let me help you.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Sir, please put your seatback up.

- Is your boyfriend meeting you?

- The old one or the young one?

You?

The married one

or the single one?

Hello!

Are you coming to pick me up?

Xiang, I'm with a patient.

I've heard that one before,

Brian!

- Are you with your wife?

- I really am with a patient.

Okay, don't come, then.

You don't ever have to pick me

up again.

Let me call you back.

- Sandy?

- Yeah?

Sandy, my precious?

Was your birthday trip fun?

It was okay.

Dad, our daughter's

going away.

Say a few words.

You're glued to that game,

Sandy.

You'll go blind!

Yeah, sure.

- Look at this, Dad.

- Here's the luggage now.

Let me know when you have time.

Right, of course I will.

No problem.

Hi, is Shi Ge there?

This is Xiao Jie.

I'm here in Taipei.

Are you coming to pick me up?

Hoping East Road.

But I've never been here before.

What if I can't find it?

Hello?

Still mad at me, Xiang?

I was mixing for Gigi that day.

I couldn't get away.

I don't care if it was Gigi

or Madonna.

I never want to see you again.

Why?

We're just not right

for each other.

Why?

Why what? Why always "why"?

- I'm boarding now.

- Didn't you just land?

I know you did. I checked.

You just got back, didn't you?

We need you here, Qi.

Okay.

Good morning, Mr. Jack!

You're not up yet?

But it's already 7 a.m.

In New York!

I just came back from Malaysia.

Wait a minute.

Give it to me straight.

Are you sleeping alone?

We're not seeing each other.

You can tell me the truth.

Me? I sleep alone sometimes.

Sometimes with someone.

Sometimes with lots of people.

I have to when I'm

on the plane!

I called because I was bored!

How can I find a decent man

with all the flying?

What else can I do?

I'm not going to follow my mother

and teach piano!

It hasn't gotten that bad yet.

Never forget,

it was my mother who broke us up.

Fortunately,

I didn't marry you then.

It'd be tragic to be married

to a playboy like you.

Would you really take care of me

in my old age?

It's good to be home. I'm beat.

Aren't you going to work?

What's wrong with these lights?

All alone with no one

to fix the lights for me.

Help.

The Meteorology Centre

reports that the earthquak e...

...was 5. 0 on the Richter scale.

Fires were reported in the Shilin

and Nangang Districts in Taipei.

Minor injuries have been reported

and treated at the hospital.

Districts in Taipei have reported

minor damages to buildings.

Evaluations are being done to

determine the extent of damages.

The weather bureau has issued

an aftershock warning...

...for the next few days. How's

everyone feeling after the quak e?

Let's go to some live interviews.

Why are you still on the street?

- I came out with my girlfriend.

- What about aftershocks?

Xiang, are you okay?

Please open the door!

Xiang!

Are you there?

Let me in!

Is someone with you?

Open up!

Xiang!

Open the door!

- Hello?

- Miss Ku...

...your windshield's been smashed.

Shall I call the police?

No, ignore him.

Hello?

- I can come over pretty soon.

- No, don't.

- Brian.

- Meet me at Pixel.

- No.

- Brian.

- I'll wait for you.

- My fish are everywhere.

Thank God none died.

Xiang!

Xiang! What are you doing?

- Why do you treat me like this?

- Let go of me!

- Why didn't you open the door?

- I have a date.

Don't be like this.

Let's talk, okay?

Let go of me first.

I left work early

Just to pick you up.

- Why didn't you wait for me?

- Why did you smash my car?

Who are you to tell me

what to do?

You can't treat people like this.

You come and go as you like.

That's me! That's my life.

- Don't be like this. Forgive me.

- Let go of me.

You're so immature.

You wouldn't love me

if I were mature.

Don't take me for a fool.

Don't leave me.

What's wrong?

Xiang, what's wrong?

Marry me?

Okay?

Why do you always avoid

the subject?

Look me in the eyes.

Look at me!

Marry me, will you?

Give me a straight answer.

Or you won't see me again.

Are you threatening me?

- I don't like being threatened.

- Yes! I'm threatening you.

Don't ask me to pick you up.

Don't call me when you're lonely.

I mean it.

You're being childish again.

Don't say that.

Will you marry me?

Okay?

- No.

- Marry me!

- No.

- Marry me!

- No!

- Marry me!

Yes. No.

Thank you.

Brian Sunl If you have the balls,

come face mel

Here she is! I hear the sound

of money at my door!

- You'll call us twins? No way!

- You'll be twins if I say so.

This place was hard to find.

Yes, it's a little out of the way.

- This is Jie from Singapore.

- Malaysia.

Right, Malaysia.

This is Tong from Hong Kong.

Hi.

What's with the handshake?

Rude!

Sit!

Let me see you together.

Very little resemblance indeed.

No matter. I'll still present you

as twin sisters.

Audiences want

satisfaction nowadays.

Imagine a pair

of singing and dancing twins...

...who can maybe do

some magic tricks.

People will just fall over

themselves.

I'm telling you!

This is a world

without boundaries.

You're from

two different places.

Your union will be a symbol...

...of the global village.

Who's hot now?

- F4

- Yes.

And there is Yang Yang.

They all have a common appeal.

They make people smile.

They have that

feel-good quality.

Whether you're from Hong Kong,

Taiwan or anywhere else...

...everyone just needs

some simple fun.

Where are you staying?

If their idols

make them feel good...

She doesn't even

have a place to stay!

It doesn't matter,

they can't sing or dance.

Sorry about that.

- That's okay, I got it.

- Here, let me help.

- I got it.

- Let me help you.

- It's heavy.

- It's okay.

You've got it?

- Where's the hotel?

- Not far. Let's take the bus.

Sit anywhere.

Can I use your closet?

- Sure, why not?

- Thanks.

I've never been to Malaysia.

I'm from Alor Setar.

It's small but beautiful.

How come you speak Cantonese?

I learned it by watching movies.

We have lots of Cantonese movies

and a lot of Canto-pop music.

What time

are our lessons tomorrow?

Don't we have to learn

lots of things?

- Singing. Dancing.

- Yeah.

I'm really nervous.

Forget about it. It'll dry.

Let me clean it up anyway.

- What's happening?

- What?

- What's going on?

- Earthquake.

Earthquake! Are you scared?

Thank you for the interview.

Excuse me. This lady.

May I ask...?

Excuse me, madam.

Madam, may I...?

I'm sorry. I know nothing.

Another earthquake!

What do you feel?

Can I ask a question? Lt'll

just take a couple of minutes.

Please. It's just an interview.

Jie! We're on TV!

What?

I want to record it for my mother.

I have a digital video camera.

No earthquak es in Hong Kong,

right?

No, but we have typhoons.

- Yes, typhoons.

- So this is your first earthquak e?

Yes, it was pretty scary.

We don't have earthquak es

in Malaysia.

At first I was scared,

but I'm okay now.

Mom, I was on TV.

- I taped it for you.
