-But they... -Okay, listen to me.

Just get yourself to the airport.

I'll take care of everything else.

But Brother Bao, you don't understand.

Things are a little messed up right now.

Don't worry, just do what I said.

-But Brother Bao... -Safe travels.

Brother Bao, wait...

What?

Hey, watch the road!

Hello! You've reached Hong's cell phone.

I'm sorry that I'm unable

to take your call...

Hey, this is Brother Bao.

Have you seen my boys there tonight?

Okay.

What?

Let's go!

Let's go, let's go.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Did you just see someone run in here?

Quicky? Three hundred.

Oh, we're not, uh...

Eight hundred for the night.

Okay, thanks.

Does she know that you like her?

No.

Why not?

Because I get so nervous around her.

So you must really like her.

Yeah.

So why don't you tell her that you

like her?

Oh.

I've thought about it.

I think being in love is

a beautiful thing.

But you have to be brave.

And be prepared for rejection.

Like a man.

Oh.

Hey, Hong.

Did you get it?

We got it.

We're leaving now, Hong.

Hold on, hold on.

Despite a few minor setbacks

And a little miscommunication

on my part.

We still managed to make a sweet score.

Excellent.

Oh...

It was a good try, Hong.

Right.

You're still our Hong.

Yeah.

Where are you three morons going?

There's no point anymore.

Oh yeah, you can have this back.

Sorry, Hong.

Sorry, Hong.

What are you looking at?

Close call.

Hear anything?

It's probably not this one.

Hey, be careful.

Wait for me here.

Hey, noodle boy.

What is this?

Why did Brother Bao give this to you?

I don't know.

He doesn't know.

Someone told him to bring it to Paris.

Paris?

Did that hurt?

No.

I don't believe it.

There has to be something.

What are you doing?

Shut up.

Hey, what are you doing?

Come on.

Where is it?

French lessons? What the hell?

It makes no sense.

Brother Bao gave you his photo.

To take to Paris...

That's Brother Bao?

Please be quiet.

So tell me again what's really going on?

I don't know. Really.

Hong.

Uncle.

What's wrong with you kids?

You don't listen to anything I say.

Kai

Shouldn't you be on yourway

to the airport?

You can go to Paris now.

It's cause...

Oh...

Nicely done!

Uncle, I was just...

You wanted a big score, huh?

You think I'd hand over

anything important

To this dipshit?

I already took care of the real package.

Police! Freeze!

Put the gun down!

It's fake.

-Put it down! -Put it down!

It's fake.

Put it down.

Huh.

Go!

Sir, are you okay?

Go after them!

Hey!

What about us?

Can you get your hands free?

It's not tied too tightly.

Can you try?

Okay.

Gao, come help!

Oh.

Did you get it?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

You guys?

You take care of everything?

I'm supposed to be retiring.

No more of this sh*t.

I'm telling you, I didn't do anything.

Where are you taking me now?

Back to the station?

You know, I would make a good cop.

What do you think?

Are we going in the cop car?

I want to ride shotgun.

Hey, take it easy.

Aren't you coming?

Sir, everyone's gone.

No sign of the kids either.

All I found was this.

Come on, get in. Let's go.

What should we do now?

Go back to the real estate office?

Hello!

Sir, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Get in the car. Let's go.

You have time to get to the airport?

Oh, I think so.

Hey, are you guys hungry?

A little.

You want to get something to eat, Gao?

Oh, no I'm stuffed.

Huh?

I should head back,

Peach is waiting for me.

Oh.

Hey, tell me where you get sent.

Take care.

Okay, I'm going now.

Bye bye.

I didn't know it was so late already.

It's okay.

I should go home anyway

But I thought you were hungry.

Yeah...

But it's getting kind of late.

And...you should get going too.

Hey, I knowwhere we can go.

Hello and welcome.

Peach.

I thought you said only a few hours?

I'm sorry.

What took you so long?

I ran into a few problems.

Well, you're covering my next

two shifts.

Okay.

There's more stuff that needs

to be stocked.

Okay.

Peach.

Hmm?

What?

See you tomorrow.

Bye bye, Gao.

Bye bye.

What is this place?

Give me a minute.

Sorry, we're out of dumplings.

It's okay.

You sure you have time?

I think so.

I just have to grab my stuff upstairs.

How is it?

Not bad.

What are you smiling about?

Nothing.

I was thinking about you bugging me

at the bookstore.

Yeah right.

You were just someone to talk to.

Oh.

Wait a second.

So l...

I should...
