Amphetamine Page #3

Synopsis: Openly gay banker Daniel debates whether to return to Australia or stay in Hong Kong when he meets Kafka, a straight swimming instructor. The young men fall in love, believing that their love can bridge anything, despite their difference in sexuality and Kafka's increasing drug use. Daniel does not regret his love for Kafka, who tries to love him back against his nature. But a flashback memory from Kafka's past makes it difficult for their relationship to work.

No, not this way

Relax your shoulder

Move backward and upward,

then swing forward

Move your wrist and your elbow forward

If your head follows the movement

of your shoulder

Your whole body will rotate

Swing forward, right

Same for both sides

Right

Better now?

I got to leave now.

I'm going to an English lesson

I'll teach you again next time

- You're in a hurry? - Yeah

Let's have a competition

With you?

Not bad

Once more? If not, I'll leave

Again or not?

- Just go - Okay, I'll go then

F***ing tiring

Since the first time I saw you cry

I decided to stay with you always

Not let anybody hurt you

Maybe when the bridge meets

There will be no gap between us either

Piece of cake

"Kafka on the Shore"

The boy named crow

A frog dreaming to be a prince

Help!

Run!

Go get the b*tch

She got away

F*** you!

This boy is cute.

Why don't you f*** him instead?

Strip him!

Take off his pants!

Hurry!

Take him down there

You are doomed

Help!

Who can save you now?

Help!

Smooth skin

Nice butt as well

Good enough for a f***

Never been f***ed by a man before?

This is the reward for your heroic act

I'll break your virginity

Help!

Who's next?

No!

And you?

No!

Stop it

Finish him off

Women are better fucks

F***ing b*tch!

Over there

Calling control

Police 34213, a Chinese man found wounded

Kafka!

Kafka!

Kafka!

She was my senior classmate

when I studied in Melbourne

Helped me a lot over the years

Her dad was a mayor

who retired last year...

Hello?

Hey! Yeah!

You haven't been to Taiwan?

It's a nice place

People said the local food

there is delicious

Linda, Kafka

Kafka, Linda

Let me help you

Thanks

He doesn't believe I had a girlfriend

She wondered

what my boyfriend would look like

Well, I was the past tense

You guys are present

Tam can cook

He was a chef in a restaurant

Can you believe it?

I envy you two

I like him a lot but he has drug problems

I'm trying to help him rehabilitate

It is such a luxurious rehab

Love is the best cure

You are going to make it

Could you also watch him for me?

You know I will do anything for you

I'll sleep in the guestroom

I am the guest

What's the difference between

loving a man and a woman?

Women are like mortgages

Once you draw, you need

to keep paying for the rest of your life

Men are like policies

They can appreciate while you contribute

Sooner or Iater, the repayment will be

completed and the return kicks in

This is too profound.

I've never bought either

Anyway to love is to give, right?

How about you?

You're the only guy I've ever been intimate

I think...

You can get closer to a boy

by becoming more like him

With a girl, it's impossible

Two guys can be friends, brothers,

teammates, buddies,

apprentice and master

Their roles can also be swapped

It's the ideal relationship

I thank my mom

For granting me the power to love men

Have you really said that to her?

No way, she is a woman

By the way,

what's the difference

in the way we feel for each other?

I love to see you in your suit

You prefer me naked all the time

Oh, right

Using my words?

Your words?

Piece of cake

This was a really good idea

I've only been to China once

when I was a girl

You are still a girl

No way. Men are trees,

Women are flowers

Please bring all your belongings...

when alighting the train

Isn't this an express to Guangzhou?

Maybe this one is special

It's chewing gum

Open it

- It's just chewing gum... - Open it

What's this?

My...medicine for asthma

Are you together?

You stay. The woman can go

Turn around

Raise your arms

Higher

Raise your arms

Open your mouth

Lie down

Lower

Lower

You too

You can get a ride without tickets

Go

Your friend said it is for pain relief.

You think we're idiots?

There's only O.3g.

How could it be drug trafficking?

Who knows if he is carrying a sample

for drug dealers?

It's amphetamine...

and he may get a death penalty

He's pleaded guilty

and the drug is for his own use

You're off the hook

I need to call my Iawyer

What're you talking about?

Lawyer

Lawyer? Take your time

We've got to move fast.

That kid's life is at stake

They released me only because

I have a foreign passport

Yeah, they've got him for possession

Yeah, ice. O.3g

No, that's his first time

He doesn't have a criminal record

or anything

I don't know how long he's going

to be out there for

And what they're going to do to him

Yeah, I'm meeting my Iawyer tomorrow

Ok, thanks. I appreciate it. Bye

Have you got shower gel?

You can get that inside

Let's go. I think your coach won't come

Brother Kafka promised to come,

I only want him

Young men nowadays are so unreliable

Absent without notice...

I won't let anyone else touch me

My little daughter,

you are too young to be in love

Nothing happened,

everything will be alright

I smoked weed to relieve my back pain

caused by practising kung-fu

And to help me forget

some bitter memories

I took ice because my brother swears

it cures asthma

Also it kept me awake and allowed me

to work more part-time jobs

Sorry to drag you into such trouble

You're the only one on earth

who can protect me

Promise me, you will quit

I must quit it. I will... I will...

otherwise I'm not a man

Isn't Antartica your dream destination?

Quit, and I'll take you to Antartica,

we can go exploring

There's ice everywhere.

You'll love it there

Mr. Tam

Chief doctor wants to talk to you

We couldn't reach you

We've arranged for Mrs. Tam's funeral

with another Mr. Tam

I...

Don't be too upset

I've told you all along,

chances that your mom will gain

consciousness is slim

Now that she is gone,

it's also a relief to everyone

And your burden can be unloaded

Even if you kill me,

they are not coming back

Let's see!

Wake up, my dear brother

They died because their time was up

It's their fate

It's not our fault

Psychics have foretold

that our family will have no descendants

Worry about yourself first

I don't believe it

I don't believe it, I don't!

You asked for it

What's there to gain by pushing so hard?

Look at me, chilled out

What you are doing can ruin people's life

Isn't it said

that we all have our own destiny?

No one's to be blamed

When will you understand?

No matter what, everyone's going to die

It's no crime living life to the sweetest

Foolish fellow

I thought you might forget

Simon's birthday

How would l?

It is a Iucky day. I sold everything by 3pm

And I bought a nice garoupa

for real cheap

That's great. I can't afford

to add extra dishes

Even Kafka eats two bowls of rice now.

We need to save money

I wonder how Simon's job interview went

- Good morning - Good morning

Denial

You misspelled my name

Let's have breakfast

- I'm going now - Wait

Bye

Steve

Daniel, you know what?

This office is gonna be yours

- Really? - Don't worry

I am not being fired.

I am just being transferred

You are my only proposal these days

that has not been turned down
