and they met such fate.

Tutu, I beg you.

My boy has been crying all night

and I didn't sleep a wink.

This really isn't a good time for me...

to read stupid stories

But love stories are always stupid.

Do you think our readers...

will fall for this?

Some stupid spook trying every way...

to get those two characters...

To find that...

Mok Man-Yee

Maybe I am out of touch with love

and romance these days

But to me

the greatest love story will always be...

Dickens' " A Tale of Two Cities"

Well, everyone has his

or her way to express.

I think this Chan Kar-Fu...

is rather like Dickens in

" A Tale of Two Cities"

maybe he's using an indirect way

to express his feelings

for a certain individual.

All right

I'll finish it

But promise me one thing

Don't ever tell me again

it's "A Tale of Two Cities"

Is there a Miss Mok Man-Yee here?

That's me

The owner of this music box...

wishes to tell you " I love you"

Is he rich?

Go! Go! Go!

That's me

I don't think so

The person we're looking for is a woman

I was a woman but now I'm a man.

You have a problem with that?

We'll never find her

Where on earth is...

the real Mok Man-Yee?

That guy. He's really twisted

He played cool when he was alive

Now that he's dead, he put the load on us

Come to think of it

" I love you" is really corny

Imagine. A big man...

Braving embarrassment to say it

and getting no response whatsoever

How terribly humiliating

Obviously those three words are...

invented for men

What about the women?

If you love a man what do you say to him?

She says nothing, she waits.

She lets the guy do the talking.

Then she says

hmm, me too. That's it.

Hey, do you remember this place?

This song sounds familiar

Haven't we heard it somewhere before?

Over there!

We got it! We got it!

Mok Man-Yee is my aunt

When I was young,

she used to play me a song.

In fact it's the same song over

and over again.

She never got married

It looks like all these years,

she was waiting for someone.

When I started making music myself

she was already quite old.

Seeing that she's waited so many years

I wrote a song...

and put the telephone number

into the lyrics

lf they are really meant for each other

then may be...

Where's your aunt now?

She's passed on

Didn't even wait for us

My aunt's one no longer works

I love you Mok Man-Yee

I've known it all the time

I'm going

Me too

Here in this world

every second there's out there...

waiting to say those

Which explains why florists do

such good business

Right! I know a business...

that's perfect for the two of us.

Cross and Zero.

Us?

L-O-V-E Express

A Mr. Romeo...

wishes to tell you

He loves you very much!

Get out of here!

She's marrying me tomorrow!

Mr. Casanova...

sends us to tell you

He's madly in love with you!

Go to hell!

How gentle is the rain

that falls softly on the meadow

birds high up on the trees

serenade the clouds with their melody.

Oh, see their beyond the hills

the bright colors of the rainbow.

Some magic from above

made this day for us

just to fall in love.

You hold me in your arms

and say once again you love me

and if your love is true

everything will be just as wonderful.

Now, I belong to you

from this day until forever

just love me tenderly

and I'll give to you every part of me.

Oh, don't ever make me cry

through long lonely night

without love?

Be always true to me

keep this day in your heart eternally

You hold me in your arms

and say once again you love me

and if your love is true

everything will be just as wonderful.

I want to tell you...

You don't have to.

I've know it all along.

Some people find their Mok Man-Yees

But some people don't

That's the way it is

It reads much better

after you've edited it

Are you not going home yet?

You're unbelievable

You've resigned and still you work so hard.

I don't want my successor

to handle my mess

Do they pay you well over there?

That's not the issue

That's right

The people here are too conservative

A smart woman like...

you should go outside

and stretch your wings

You know, I really hate to see you go

I think everyone here will miss you

So maybe some other time...

Yes, I hope I can have the chance...

to work with you again.

All right then.

Good luck with your work

I'm going

It's raining outside

It's okay. My car is parked...

I know

I always see you getting

your car in the rain.

I have an extra umbrella.

Please take it.

All right. Don't stay up too late.

So, what's up?

Big-time writer?

What's up?

How did you do it?

You never said you loved her

What good would it do?

I just think...

it's plain stupid that you didn't

Let's just say we travel on different roads

Well you may want...

to go on forever on your road

I'm moving on

I'm moving

This time I'll be on my own

No harm learning to pay my own rent.

Moving to Chai Wan

It's not too far away

from Red Hill Peninsula

" A Tale of Two Cities"

No promise off-air play.

Luck prevails

somewhere someone find his Mok Man-Yee.

Others just pursue in vain.

This is life

except from "The X O Pair" by Chan Kar-Fu
