Excuse me, miss, do you like pineapple?

Maybe she's not Cantonese.

Excuse me, miss, do you like pineapple?

Do you like pineapple?

May I ask you if you like pineapple?

You speak good Mandarin.

I grew up in Taiwan, and you?

I'm not in the mood to talk.

Leave me alone.

You don't have to talk.

Can I just sit here?

Plenty of seats, why sit here?

I can feel that you're Ionely.

Really?

Yes.

Why would a woman

be wearing shades this late?

Either she's blind...

or she's a poseur...

or she doesn't want people to see

she's been crying.

So which reason applies?

The last one!

It's okay, no need to cry.

I've fallen out of love too.

I usually go jogging to get sweaty...

so that I have no more water for tears.

Wanna go jogging?

I've been racing around all evening.

I'm tired.

If you want to talk...

find someone else.

I don't particularly want to talk.

I just want to keep you company.

I know how it feels

to be brokenhearted.

A woman needs a boyfriend to lean on.

Please think of me as your boyfriend.

I don't have a boyfriend.

And I don't have a girlfriend.

How old are you?

Two hours ago, I was still 24.

Now I'm 25.

I won't like you.

Don't be so sure.

We might hit it off!

Do you like pineapple?

None of your business.

I'm just trying to learn more about you.

I was in love

with a girl for five years.

We've just split up.

She says I don't understand her.

So I want to find out more about you.

You'll find out nothing.

Just give me a chance to!

Okay, find out more about me.

What kind of man do you like?

I Knowing someone doesn't mean

keeping them.

People change.

A person may like pineapple today...

and something else tomorrow.

Sir

Sir! Sir!

We're closing.

Closing?

Wanna jog?

I just want a place to rest.

When she said "rest",

she meant it.

I watched two old movies

on TV that night...

and had four chef's salads.

When the sun rose, I knew I had to go.

But I took her shoes off before I left.

My mother says

a woman's feet swell up...

if she sleeps in high heels.

She must have walked a lot that night.

Such a pretty woman should have

clean shoes.

I was actually born at 6:00 a.m.

So I'll really be 25

two minutes from now.

A quarter of a century!

To celebrate this historic moment,

I'm jogging.

Getting rid of my body's excess water.

It feels pretty good.

Leaving the sports ground,

I decide to ditch my pager.

After all, no one's gonna call me.

Account 386.

Password, please.

Undying love.

Your friend in room 702 says,

"Happy birthday."

Thank you.

On May 1 , 1994...

a woman wishes me a happy birthday.

Now I'll remember her all my life.

If memories could be canned...

would they also have expiry dates?

If so, I hope they last for centuries.

You know what?

Give me your cigarette.

- It's rainning!

- Oh, yeah?

Coke, please.

Jogging again?

Save your energy!

Hey, try Faye!

She's not bad either.

Who's Faye?

She started here today.

Get in quick!

Beat Richard to it!

- Thanks, but I don't go for boys.

- Boys?

Excuse me!

This was the closest we ever got.

I knew nothing about her.

But six hours later...

She fell in love with another man.

Chef s salad, please.

Take out?

Yes!

I guess you're new here?

You like noisy music?

Yes, the louder the better

It stops me from thinking.

You don't like to think?

What do you like?

Never thought about it.

I'll tell you when I know myself.

How about you?

What do you like?

A chef s salad.

One chef s salad, please.

Chef s salad again?

Aren't you tired of it?

It's not for me.

Girlfriend?

It's her favorite?

I dunno, she never said it wasn't.

Maybe she want something else.

Fish and chips is pretty good, y'know.

What if she doesn't like it?

Get both and let her choose.

Won't that be a waste?

Doesn't cost much.

Come on, give her a choice!

Okay, one chef's salad,

one fish and chips.

Coming up!

Thanks!

Fish and chips, please.

See, I told you she'd like it.

She should have said

she didn't like chef s salad.

You never gave her any choice!

If you had, she might have said.

Speaking of choice...

try pizza tonight.

Dunno if she'll like that.

Then do the same trick:

Get both.

Won't break the bank.

Okay, both!

Want to try something different again?

The hot dog is good.

No thanks,just a black coffee.

Nothing for your girlfriend?

She's gone.

Why?

To try something else, she said.

I guess she's right.

Plenty of choice in men,

just like food.

I guess I should've stuck

with the chef s salad.

Never mind!

She'll try someone else and

find ou you're better.

And she'll come running back.

Don't worry.

On board every flight...

there's one stewardess

you long to seduce.

This time last year, at 25,000 feet...

I actually seduced one.

Want something to drink?

I thought we'd stay together

for the long haul.

Flying like a jumbo jet on a full tank.

But we changed course.

Black coffee, please.

A week and she's not back yet?

Excuse me?

Maybe she does have plenty of choices.

Then get her out of your mind!

You can't go on drinking black coffee

like that. Takes time to change.

I'll take things easy.

I'll be okay.

If you say so.

Excuse me.

The policeman who buys

a chef s salad here every night...

Oh, you mean No. 633.

He's off duty today.

Isn't he off on Saturdays?

He changed shifts.

Didn't he tell you?

Can you give him this

when he next comes?

No problem.

Thank you.

- I'll be right back!

- Huh?

I said I'll be right back!

- We're taking a break.

- What?

We're taking a break!

Where to?

I have to go out too.

Just you here tonight?

Just you here tonight?

They were all here just now.

Rushed off as you came up.

What's wrong with me?

Nothing.

Black coffee?

Thanks.

Last night...

a girl...

Huh?

Last night... some girl...

Can you turn it down a bit?

A girl waited for you here last night.

She left a letter for you.

Really?

Yes, some flight attendant.

Here.

- Don't you want to read it?

- After my coffee.

Hey, your letter!

Keep it for me. Next time.

Boss.

What are you doing here?

I'm on duty.

Where's No. 633?

Annual leave.

Really?

Said he was wounded by a pin.

He's convalescing at home.

Wounded by a pin? Funny thing.

Since she left,

everything in the flat is sad.

Everything needed

lulling to sleep.

You've lost a lot of weight,

you know.

You used to be so chubby.

Now a bit skinny.

Have more confdence

in yourself.

You have to stop crying,

you know.

Where's your strength

and absorbency?

You're so shabby these days.

Look at you.

I'll help you.

Isn't that better?

Say something.

Don't blame her.

We all have moments of doubt.

Give her a chance, okay?

Lonely?

You look a real mess.

Cold? I'll warm you up.

Boss!

Had your lunch?

Yup!

It's all ready for you.

Need any help?

It's okay. I'll manage.

Excuse me.

Sorry, excuse me.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Are you feeling better?

Better?

They said you were

wounded by a pin.

Nonsense.

Haven't seen you around lately.
