Sweating in the day

Feeding mosquitoes at night

Look at this fan. Over ten years old now

My brother and I loved soft drinks

But we didn't have a fridge

This one is quite recent

It's too dusty here

Let's go

What's the hurry?

A guest for our lunch?

My brother

He lives here?

He works here

Oh, right

It's Iike heaven after passing through hell

For many, a big company

is already heaven

If all good guys go to heaven

Dad should be up there looking at us

When I was small,

still living in the wooden house

One day after school

Mom said Dad was framed

by some bad cops and took his life

From that moment on

I realize that nobody

on earth could protect us

I learnt kung-fu

To protect people important to me

One. Two. Step forward and kick

One. Two. Step forward

This one from the back, then...

Your chin should touch the cue slightly

Spread your fingers

Relax

Keepyour eyes on the ball and aim

Hey, it's in!

You're a natural

- I reckon this will go in

- I think so too

You're not as fast as me

You want it? I'll give it to you then

Are you really going to give it to me?

I'll give it back to you

Ever since the first time I saw you,

I could feel your loneliness

That night, I broke up with my girlfriend

I could see there's something wrong

between you

Everyone I've loved have abandoned me

I won't abandon you

Hey Daniel

Can you take a look at this for me?

Yeah, can I do it tomorrow?

You're leaving early?

Yeah, I'm going to head off

Ok, don't do anything I wouldn't do

Cheers, mate

Hello good afternoon,

financial markets across the globe are

in turmoil this afternoon

After the collapse of one

of the world's biggest investment banks,

Lehman Brothers...

Hey, does it really work?

Sure. Don't worry

The rope is so heavy

If you're scared, watch me jump first

Scared of what?

You're talking to a lifeguard here

Don't be silly.

We're jumping from a height of 73m

From this height,

the water will feel like concrete

Oh, right

I once contemplated jumping

off Tsing Ma Bridge

You owe me a life now

Okay

- Okay? - Go

It's very high up here

Take your time

Be careful

- Stand still - Okay

- Don't jump yet - Okay

Wait for me

Sure, I'll wait for you

How can I jump without you?

Okay, turn around

- Okay - Slowly

- It's great, right? - So high

It's great

Let's do it again

Why not?

I'll jump first this time

Alright

Lately beggars like

that are sprouting up everywhere

Really?

My friend has opened a new gay bar

Shall we go there tonight?

Dumped by girls and switching to boys?

Sucking a banana in the morning

Poking your ass in the afternoon

Does it hurt?

Shall we go in now?

The show is going to start

- We are waiting for Daniel's friend

- Hurry

Go and ask him. He is always late

Daniel, where's your friend?

I don't know. I can't reach him

You guys go first

Okay

I'll call you

It's my treat

What do you want?

I've got orange juice, water...

You are f***ing six hours late, man!

I'm trying my best. I am sorry

Next time call me if you can't make it

I come...maybe next time

This is Kraftwerk. Yeah?

Who knows when they're going

to be back?

Probably we'll never see them again

I'll stay with you tonight as compensation

Make a move then

You're not angry anymore?

Fixed. Let's go

Am I cool?

Come on. Let's go

Told you I can't do it! You see?

Go to hell...hell...

Are you okay?

We won't be okay

I can't fulfill your needs

You mean sex?

I can't make love with men

I don't suit you

I am not gay

I thought you loved me

I...

Maybe that's another kind of love

I've Iost my father

And my brother is a tosser

So?

Why don't you understand?

What do you see in me?

I am penniless, illiterate,

have no taste and no future

To you, I am even impotent

That's what women want, I don't care

I like you for being good-looking,

tough, funny and able to fight

Straight, masculine and daring

to do anything with me

And you wouldn't flirt with other boys

I give up

You're laughing, so you must be alright

Come out and

let me see your smiling face

Actually, since the first time I saw you cry

I decided to stay with you always

Not let anybody hurt you

Some stability has returned

to this crazy market

Amphetamine, 1OO% positive,

and this kid has been using it for ages

I think 7,OOO could be the rock bottom

for both Dow and Nikkei

Just stay away from him

Too late

Yeah, they saved the banks, the insurers...

He must be very straight

Even the dreadful automakers

You are still my only pure gay boyfriend

so far

I've never seen so many saviors

in my life

Something can be done, I guess

Not much

Trouble is...

I hope they can save our jobs too

He practices kung-fu

and can kill me with one hand

Something worth dying for then

Hope you are right about that

Thanks for the condolences, Tom

Ciao

Yes, my lord?

Tom, can you get me some...

Put it under your tongue

Give it an hour and you should feel it

Really?

Trust me

What do you feel?

Nothing special

I don't seem to feel anything

Can't you see the bridge?

- Oh yeah, the Brother bridge

- Brother Bridge

Cheers

The visuals are repeating hectic

Subtitle by

Aldi Arman

What're you doing?

I'm pulling the bridge together

Hello?

What're you doing?

I'm taking a call

A call?

You are in no state

to be talking on the phone!

Tell him you're having a meeting

Meeting?

I've never had meetings before.

Who will believe me?

I'm going to have a meeting with you now

I'm having a meeting. I'll call you back

Meeting on the beach?

Thousands of years ago,

people were having such meetings

on beach

Use this to write on the sand

To have a meeting,

you got to have an agenda

Like what should we be aware of?

The sand. It is dangerous

Don't let the sand get into your eyes

Don't sand

Oh yes

Don't let the sand get into your eyes

It is dangerous

Right

Hey, the sun

Sun is dangerous to look at

Don't sun

Right

Smart boy

You're a natural born meeting man

Have we got a printer here?

A printer?

Crazy

I should ask my friends not to send me

these stuff again

Don't send

- Never send us acid again - Never

Don't send

Alright

Hey, look at this

LSD:

Take away the "C",

then it's a LSD dust bin

The "C" is redundant

What should we do with it?

What's the "C" for?

"C" for cat?

"C" for cute then

Who are cute? Girls?

No. Boys are better

Hey

Don't sun

This stuff is good.

I don't even have a hangover

The inventor lived till 1O1,

and died just recently

He brought something good to mankind

He deserves to go to heaven

Then you shouldn't take ice anymore

It's cold as hell

Ready

Three, two, one

Not bad

Right, that's the way

Once again

I'll throw you out

Just kidding

Ready, three, two, one

Remember, the head moves

backward first

And then your arms

Move your body upwards...parabolic

Slowly looking backward

Look backward, can you?

The angle is about right...

Finished?

Yup, just waiting for you

For me...

What?

Should my shoulder be...
