Better stay out of harm's way

When do you figure...

he'll get himself a real job?

Would you rather see him carrying

a briefcase, hanging his head...

and being ordered around?

I knew this guy from Form 3

He's in my class and was a lot like Yau.

He acted tough skipped classes

didn't do his homework.

But every time after class...

the girls would line

to lend him their homework.

The next year the guy just quit.

I didn't know if he went to

another school or what.

The girls turned funereal.

Even the teacher got a bit depressed

losing a favorite punching bag.

Do you envy him?

Go get some change.

The great novelist-to-be...

will be needing it

You know what?

You're beginning to sound like him.

No, I can't

Of course you don't know me

After Cindy ran into you again...

at the cafe that morning

Hey buddy, it's all over between us

I really love Cindy

I never loved anyone like I love her

And I thought she also loved me

But after that morning

she went home

and cried for two days and nights

I think she never loved me

I was just an asylum...

where she could lick her wounds

Why did you treat her so?

What's so good about you?

You got ban aid? You got panadol?

We're done playing and sleeping together.

It's time to make a U-turn

Can't make a U-turn

without a roundabout.

May be you've never had

the chance to be dumped.

But there's a first time to everything

Yau Muk-Yan, we're finished!

Good-bye

Are you looking for him?

He's not been back for a few days

Come on. That's not him.

A few days ago

I did the most daring thing

I ever did in my life...

It's always like this

One minute I tell myself to stay

clear of that sort

the next I throw myself into one

The more I want to play smart

the harder I fall

It's been so many years

Yet I still haven't learned

Except for one thing.

Don't give him the chance to dump you

take the initiative yourself.

Is there a difference?

Wonder how many betting centers

there are in Hong Kong?

Let's head back

Are you not looking for him anymore?

I never said I was looking for him

I should never have moved in here

The first time I laid eyes on him...

I knew it. Damn!

I'm damned!

Was it that morning

when he banged on your door?

It was that day

when I went apartment hunting

I looked out from the window

and saw him come back from roller-skating

He picked up a bottle of mineral water

and doused himself

And I said to the agent I'll take it.

Can I play the piano?

He never asked

He just sat down and played

I've found a job.

I start the day after tomorrow.

And I've fallen in love with a girl

But she wanted to dump me

No girl has ever closed a door in my face.

Mok Man Yee you're the first.

It's okay. I can do it

Is the job permanent or temporary?

Permanent, I guess

Work hard

and don't start hollering...

Got you.

It's something I like

going to morning training

talking to trainers...

writing. It's easy enough.

Let me lend you an alarm clock

You have to get up early

for morning training.

I really appreciate your putting me up

for such a long time.

It's okay

- One day when...

- Yeah, Red Hill Peninsula

Fourth movement:

Variations

Lingnam Publishing House

Just now...

A tall man brought it

Even the writing isn't right

It's supposed to be a novel

Close enough

The Auditor Lingnam Publishing House

Let me find out where he went to school

"The X O Pair"

written by Chan Kar-Fu

He got some nerve

And he wanted to be a writer

can you believe it?

Trash it. You have better things to do,

don't you?

Are you still here?

I'm almost ready to go

Bye

Friends, are you feeling lonely?

My name is Chan Kar-Fu

Would you like me to tell you a story?

Once upon a time...

In a faraway place called Town H...

was a very old cathedral.

One night,

two uninvited guest suddenly appeared.

For orphans the only way to improve...

their station in life was to study hard.

But these two characters...

liked to day-dream in class

So they failed all their tests.

One of them got a big zero.

The other got a big cross

So one of them became known as...

Cross...

and the other, Zero

It's obviously a children's story

Why do you say it's a love story?

Can you read?

Finish it first

I agree he doesn't write very well, but...

He doesn't write very well yet

you want me to finish it?

If I read everything that comes my way

I'll be here forever everlasting

One good thing...

about this writer is that...

He doesn't know cliches

like forever everlasting

Do you mind looking at me

when you speak to me?

Why do you always keep...

your head down?

You want something weird

I think this one's pretty weird

Dear listeners...

Do you find your work boring?

Would you like some excitement?

Why not go to the famous Haunted Ruins

to look for gold?

Those ruins have to this day scared...

exactly 100 people to madness

But no wonder.

Because invaluable treasures...

are known to be buried inside

So are there really gold

in the Haunted Ruins?

The answer may be a riddle

So, if you're interested...

to be the 101 ...

Hey Mr. Mask

Who called me?

Who is it?

Who called me just now?

Who is it?

Hey, Mr. Mask you're a dollar short

What did you say?

I asked you what did you say

Cross?

Zero?

Did you make this costume yourself?

Yours not so bad

Hey, I'm here first

But I opened the lock

I'm here. Come in.

What?

- There...

- What?

Cockroaches!

You need more than a flash light

going out in the evening.

Let's get out of here.

I don't see any jewelry here.

lf there was, it's all gone

Wait

Wow, gold! We're rich!

Bingo! Congratulations!

Finally,

someone is able to claim my gold

Now you can really live happily...

ever after.

Take it. Go on. Don't be afraid.

Take it all

You so lucky

what's your hurry?

I told you there's no such thing

as a free lunch

For all the gold that I've given you

I ask a small favor in return

It's not too much to ask isn't it?

See that music box?

Take it, find this person...

And say it to her for me

" I love you Mok Man-Yee"

Don't fail me!

Because if you do

I'll be on your heels

to the end of the world.

So we're done playing Santo Claus

Now what do we do with this?

It's a gift for you

So it's up to you

I think you also have a share in it

Be my guest, keep it

Not really. You be my guest.

It looks better on you.

No. You should have it

No. I don't want it!

No. I mean...

We spent all his gold.

We should do something for him in return.

He shouldn't ask people to say...

such corny things for him

My god. So many Mok Man-Yee in Town H

It'll take forever calling everyone of them

I think there're only addresses here

no telephone numbers

You don't say

Just pick one at random

Mouth it and call it quits

That's right

He's back again!

Just kidding

Let's look for them

one by one, okay?

You don't need to scare people

all the time, do you?

Poor chivalrous duo...

The first time they went out into world
