There's another one!

- Give it to me. Qi, give me.

- Be careful.

What are you two doing?

Catch it!

- Hello.

- Who's this guy?

- This is ridiculous.

- How should I know who he is?

Who are you?

- What's it to you?

- What kind of game is this?

- This is too much.

- You have no right to question me.

Nor do you. You think I don't know

what you and May were doing?

- It's all crap.

- May asked for my help.

- I did nothing!

- Of course she asked.

And you do whatever she wants?

Right?

- You have no right to lecture me.

- Don't act like this.

Don't touch me.

I need to get a new fishbowl.

Close the door when you leave.

Who are you?

I'm Situ.

I've come for the piano.

- Sorry, today isn't a good day.

- I can see that. Another time?

I have to stop flying...

...change my numbers...

...and disappear

from this world.

Look over there.

Check out the one in grey.

He's looking over here.

Behave yourself, girl!

I looked at the same man for 30 years.

Now there are new ones.

- Why shouldn't I stare?

- Don't just look, do something.

Go for it, Lily!

- All talk, no action?

- Calm down.

Oh, my God, she's going for it!

She's fearless!

She won't give up!

Yes, here's the sauna.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Excuse me,

I just told my friends...

...we went to primary school together.

They won't believe me!

You probably don't remember

that we were classmates.

You probably don't recall

my name...

Lily Shi.

- What?

- It wasn't primary school.

We were in middle school together.

I was in Ms. Chen's class.

You were in Ms. Liu's class.

No kidding?

Here's my card.

- "Zhang Shi-Jie"?

- Call me Jerry.

Let's meet up sometime.

Miss, can I get a pen?

"Zhang Shi-Jie."

Zhang Shi-Jie.

Hello. All alone?

You don't have a lunch date?

Take your time.

I meant with your girlfriends.

I was Just passing by.

I thought I'd see how you were doing.

The flowers are beautiful as usual.

Maybe I'll buy some.

But there's no one

to give them to.

I came to talk to you

about Sandy.

She still won't talk to me.

Can you put in a word for me?

Please?

This is grown-up business.

Why drag her into this?

I've discussed it with Amy...

Hello? Hold on a second.

Listen to me.

Amy wouldn't ask Sandy

to call her "Mom."

So it's okay, right?

Please talk to her.

Hey! Would you...?

Would you please talk to her

about it?

Let's talk some other time.

- Love Home Florist.

- This is Jerry. Is this Lily?

Yes. This is she.

Jerry. Sorry about Just now.

I'd lik e to order some flowers.

Were we really in school together?

Why can't I remember?

I was sort of a nerd back then.

Not the kind people remember.

Me too.

Why do you remember me?

You'd like to order flowers?

What kind?

Can you help me decide?

Who are they for?

Is it a special occasion?

They're for a girl.

The message is, "Dear Emmy..."

E-M-M-Y.

"Welcome back. Love, Jerry."

How much do you want to spend?

Your call.

They need to be beautiful and big.

I trust your judgment.

Lily, what exactly

should the card say?

It says here "Dear Emily"

and "Go to hell."

This is...

Should it be " Dear Emily,

welcome back. Love, Jerry"?

- Okay. Yes.

- Is it "Emily"?

- Flowers to deliver, Xiang!

- Okay.

- Welcome!

- Lily, I...

Wait a moment.

- I'll add some of this.

- Okay.

- How much?

- 1000 NT. Qin, take the money.

Okay!

Thank you.

Please deliver the flowers

on Friday.

- We will.

- Thanks again.

Take care!

Do you want more flowers?

We've got some good ones today.

Did you like the flowers?

I can do a new arrangement.

- You misspelled the name.

- Misspelled? Misspelled what?

"Emmy." You wrote "Emily."

Oh, no! Qin, you misspelled it.

- Can't be!

- Check it!

- I'm so sorry.

- Jerry, I really am sorry!

My God, how could this happen?

She must have been upset.

Nothing jewellery can't fix.

Wow. That's nice!

- Women are...

- Easy to please!

One little stone and we're all set.

Men are more difficult.

- Correct it.

- All right.

- Change it to Emily. No, I mean...

- Emmy!

- Emmy.

- Emmy.

- E-M-M-Y.

- E-M-M-Y.

Jerry, I'm sorry.

Let me pay you back.

Really, I must.

- Don't worry.

- Please! Are you free now?

It will be really quick.

Let's Just have a quick lunch.

Wait for me. Wait.

I won't take no for an answer.

It'll make me feel better.

I'm so embarrassed!

I haven't had a quiet meal for ages.

Jerry Zhang, 47,

div orced for eight years.

Son's in college. Lives alone.

Girlfriend is young,

a flight attendant.

He's in the toy business

and travels to China a lot.

He might move there,

but she doesn't want to go.

They fight about this a lot.

Jerry, do you play tennis?

Do you like hiking?

I like to stay home.

I like the comfort of home.

- Hello.

- Mrs. Zhao!

It's Miss Shi now.

You forgot again.

- Sorry, Miss Shi.

- Yes.

- Reservation for Friday?

- Friday? Okay.

- 7:
30.

- 7:
30. How many of you? Two.

Two. Usual table?

It's not for me.

It's for Mr. Zhang. Jerry Zhang.

Jerry Zhang. Okay. Good.

Should I have a bottle

of wine ready?

Wine?

- Put some champagne on ice.

- Okay.

Welcome!

Do you have a reservation?

- Jerry. Jerry Zhang.

- Yes. This way, please.

Mr. Zhang,

we have champagne for you.

Thanks.

Your guests are here, Miss Shi.

You must be Emmy.

These are for you from Mr. Zhang.

I'm the florist.

I am here to apologize

for misspelling your name.

- No problem. Thank you.

- You two enjoy. Bye!

This way. Into the alley.

Keep going!

Love Home Florist. This is Lily.

Lily.

- Thanks.

- How was the food?

Where do we put the fridge?

- In the kitchen, thanks.

- Okay.

Move up a little. Okay.

This way. This way.

- Miss Ku.

- The washing machine?

- Miss Ku?

- Go through the kitchen...

...onto the balcony.

That's not right, mister.

The drawer is on the right side.

Please nail it in. You have

to take the box off first.

- Where should we put this?

- Move back first.

Don't leave yet.

I need help.

Guys, take the case off outside.

So how about this?

Take the speakers and put it...

- Where should I put this?

- Over here, okay? Right here.

- How's that? Yeah.

- The cabinet? Put it here.

- That room?

- Yes, thanks.

- Sir, please take these boxes out.

- The mirror's in the way here.

- Is it okay if I move it?

- Okay. Thanks.

- Please put it in that room.

- Okay.

- Please take that case outside.

- Okay.

Here's another one.

Take it down.

Don't leave it by the elevator.

The dryer is done.

Want to test it?

Okay.

I heard you used to go to that

restaurant with your husband.

I rarely hear you mention him.

I'm not interested in the past.

Is he a bastard?

It's no one's fault.

We weren't good for each other.

No one's at fault.

Did your girlfriend leave?

She's flying to America this time.

Do you miss her?

I don't know if I miss her

or if I'm just lonely.

People are selfish.

We find a partner to keep us...

...from loneliness in old age.

Where do I put the mirror?

- Here. In the corner.

- There.
