Amphetamine

Do you know how long I've waited

at the airport?

Three hours!

Nowadays, few people are

as generous as you

Not bargaining for long distance taxi ride

This financial tsunami is really dreadful

What's your line of work, mate?

Finance

You are 0.3 seconds slower

You're in competition soon

You need to practice harder

That's all for today. Swim back

You are off?

Yep

How about you? More classes?

No, I have a few things today

Well, I'm off now

Young man, nice body

Like Michelangelo's David

I was once young like you,

but I am nothing now

Have pity on this old man

Let me give you a hand job in the sauna

You're making slave wages

as an instructor

It won't take long

Four thousand...

Six thousand...

Two thousand.

No touching the private parts

Boss, it is done

Alright

You guys want to sit down there?

Yeah

Is it from the famous K.K. Tailor?

Sure

Maybe get a round of Coronas?

Who knows?

When half is gone

I don't know

We got to back to there somehow

Yeah, back on the water

A little wake-boarding

Saturday was gorgeous

Where did you go?

Shek O

For him is a must

Yeah, not bad

Wow man, sweet ride

Hey Daniel

The second hand cars are selling

at ridiculous discounts here

Even for this kind of babe

You should buy one

Enjoy the fall

Take it with you

when you return to Australia

And sell for a profit there

Enjoy the fall!

You are such a sadist, man

Come on

Why do you come to such a place?

You don't even drink

It's packed everywhere now

You blame me for being late?

I didn't say anything

Whatever, I don't care

Here we go again

You know I just hope

the portfolio holds out

I'm in trouble

How about yourself?

Mine is doing very well

Really?

Yeah

One of the few.

Where're you focusing then?

Yeah, Nigeria

Daniel, you hear that

Nigeria

Emerging market

Yeah

Black gold, Daniel

This is something interesting

that we should maybe consider

You are a survivor, young man

Your unit saves the day

With a bit of luck, I guess

I know you are good

But I am more impressed

with your prudence

To balance the aggressiveness

in other aspects of my life

Such as girls

Or boys

Either way half the population is going

to be disappointed

Anyway, are you ready to sign

for another three months?

That depends if Obama wins tonight

I thought the Hamilton win is already

enough for that

It's a close call, boss

I'll toss a coin

and let you know next Monday

What number have you got?

Ninety-seven

- Ninety-seven - Ninety-seven

Good morning, master

Want to kidnap me? I've got no money

You kidnap me then. I have a day off

I know you are rich

I got to teach swimming classes

at Morhill from 6:45am

I can reach there in fifteen minutes

by my motorbike

How about your old crate?

Fifteen minutes from City West to South?

Let's give it a shot

I thought you were caucasian

I grew up in Shek O

And went to Australia at fifteen

When the airport was still

at Kowloon City

Date all the boys over there already?

Do I look gay?

I look gay then

I don't care if you are or not

Buying whatever you crave

Chasing whoever you fancy

Money really is power

It's hard-earned money

Oh, right

Money? Piece of cake

You've got an unique name

My master gave it to me

It is the name of a Japanese boy, I think

"Kafka on the Shore",

the novel by Haruki Murakami

Kafka

Have you read his "Metamorphosis"?

I don't know many English

You can speak it

My kung-fu master is "Gwai Lo",

he teach me

I can teach you too

I learn fast

I can tell from the way you drive

Hey, a bit too fast!

I'm hungry

Stay put

Good recommendation

The noodle in tomato soup is excellent

This food stall is supposed

to go out of business

Why?

Another victim

of the financial tsunami maybe

Why don't we check out the gallery?

Hey, isn't that you?

You recognize me naked?

It is pretty bold

There was a gay film lately

Not sure if it was called

"lllegal Immigration" or...

"Permanent Residence"

So you're aware of it

I didn't appear in the film

I was just a model for their photo album

I should order a few then

I also work part time

as a life drawing model

Wow...you never have to get dressed

for work then

It's alright

I work out a lot. I'm confident in my body

But I don't know much about fashion

Fashion? Piece of cake

I can help you

Hey, book it or leave it!

Right now, you won't find many broken

bridges like this anywhere on earth

Magnificent, isn't it?

I've been watching them

close up the gap

Chances are I'll be leaving for the airport

via this bridge

When?

I don't know. Life is unpredictable

If I hadn't ran into you at the temple,

I probably wouldn't have stayed

I must be pretty important then

You look different when you smile

I can't accept it yet

Sorry

Sorry, I thought you...

You saw my girlfriend in the bar that day,

although...

It's alright. I've dated girls before

Oh, right

Maybe when the bridge meets,

there'll be no gap between us too

Piece of cake

Give me some time

Anyway, thank you

I'll pay you back for the suit

when I get paid next month

Take it as a gift for being my guide today

No way, there was no such agreement

Shall I waive your trainer fee forever?

Great

Why didn't you call

if you're not coming back for dinner?

Sorry, mom. Somehow I forgot

Kafka, don't push yourself so hard.

Mom won't be around for long

Mom, you didn't take your pills again?

You shouldn't do so

I try so hard to...

Mom, I will let you live in comfort

You must wait for me

Mom, I've bought a suit today

Is it from the famous K.K. Tailor?

Close

Must be very expensive then

You've got a job in office?

Close. I'll wear the suit for you next time

You're quick

Not as quick as you

Hey, shower gel

Thank you

This shower head is out of order

See! Your mind is somewhere else

I met a man

He seems to... want to make love to me

I just knew you're a sodomite

Please don't say that

Whatever, I don't care

When did we become like this?

It's always been like this

Don't think just because

I owe you a favour

I have to repay it all my life

I don't

Let's see who gets there first

Okay

All ye that labour and are heavy laden

Come unto me

And I will give you rest

You are Catholic?

Has it shut down already?

Yes, long gone

That's my primary school

I was always late for school

And the Sisters made me

read The Hail Mary

For at least two hours each time

Here we are, my old home

In those days, these walls were made

of wood and iron

Water leaked in during rainy seasons

And the whole wall was eroded

by termites

My dad fixed them all

These are cements walls now

Look how solid they are

We didn't have beds at that time

There is a shed up there

Dad made it

That was decades ago

and it's still sturdy

What's this?

It's my brother's

Look at this

The whole pillar was destroyed

by the termites

We burnt them with fire

And covered it again with wooden plates

It's solid now

We didn't have an air-conditioner then

Miserable summertimes
