Chung King Express (Chung Hing Sam lam) Page #3

---

I changed shifts.

I'm on this beat now.

Really?

- Need some help?

- Yes, please.

I'll be going.

This is heavy.

It's worse some days.

Must be hard for you.

All works are hard.

Why'd you take this job?

The boss is my cousin.

He asked me to help out.

What did you do before?

Lots of things.

I'm saving up.

To study?

Never thought of that.

I just want to enjoy life.

How? Where?

Anywhere. Maybe California.

California? Why?

I said maybe. I can move on

if it's no fun.

You like to travel?

Don't you?

I'm happy staying in one place.

You can come with me.

I almost have enough.

We'll see.

Are you always like this?

I still have that letter.

Haven't had time to pick it up.

Give me your address.

I'll mail it or it'll get lost.

Okay.

Hey, you live near here!

Yeah, drop in on me sometime.

Sure.

Well, let's move.

You're sweating. Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Stop daydreaming, will you?

You want to be a star?

And leave the carrots alone!

Who's going to eat that now?

Use a toilet roll or something!

And you.

I'm not daydreaming.

Right, you're not daydreaming.

You're sleepwalking!

Sure, sleepwalking.

Sure, sure.

Whatever you say.

I had a dream that afternoon.

It seemed I was in his apartment.

And I'd wake up only when I left it.

I didn't know you never wake up

from some dreams.

Some days I go home for lunch.

There's always the chance she'll be back.

I know you're in there.

Come on out.

I'll count to three.

One...

two,

three!

She used to leap out of the closet

to scare me.

But she's stopped doing it.

I guess the game palled after a while.

Can she be hiding

in the toilet?

Hello.

Hello!

Stupid!

Char siu with rice.

Excuse me.

It's you again!

Yes!

Will you be here for a while?

Why?

Nothing.

Where are you going?

I forgot something.

Oh, I still haven't

mailed your letter.

No hurry.

I'll get around to it.

Why are you back?

I have to pay the electricity bill.

Can I leave this here?

Cousin?

I'm still at the market.

What? Why?

It's pouring with rain.

Huh? Can you hear?

What are you talking about?

It's sunny!

Really? Must be a local shower.

I'll be back when it stops.

Don't forget the electricity bill.

I won't.

I'm leaving now.

Okay, I'll see you again soon.

Hi

Got this for you.

Why so many lychees?

They're for a friend.

Where are you?

Paying the electricity bill.

You've been gone for hours!

It's packed here.

I can hardly get in the shop.

I'll just have to queue.

How come it's always so crowded?

Search me.

Shall I try again tomorrow?

Try another shop.

Another shop?

Ok.

I'll try!

Hi.

Been shopping?

A friend is redecorating his place.

You sure are busy.

I certainly am.

Black coffee again.

It's bad for you.

If you can't sleep, drink water.

Hi, it's me.

The plane has returned to Hong Kong.

You want to make a booking?

Call me. Same number.

Bye-bye.

Wow. How long did it take

to grow it like this?

None of your business.

A bit flirty, isn't she?

Yes.

Why?

Do you know her well?

Nope.

One day I had this

sudden feeling she was back.

Ohh!

Did I leave the tap running...

or is the apartment getting

more tearful?

I always thought it would cope okay.

Didn't expect it to cry so much.

When people cry...

they can dry their eyes with tissues.

But when an apartment cries...

it takes a lot to mop it up.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

You live here?

Why are you here?

Buying goldfish.

- No one here sells goldfish.

- No.

- You came to buy goldfish?

- Yes.

Buy them or sell them?

What do you mean?

Stop it!

I forget everything

when I'm scared.

Why are you scared?

I don't know! You scare me.

I'm going now.

Are you stuck?

Don't push me.

I'd go if I could.

You have a cramp?

I don't know.

It's never happened before.

You'd better come in.

When she'd return from a long

flight I'd massage her legs.

Being a stewardess

is tough on the legs.

I've always found

women's legs sexy.

Haven't touched any

since she left.

Is that better?

Yes. Can I go now?

Stay a bit longer.

I'll put on some music.

You like this song too?

I'm not really into music.

My ex-girlfriend chose this.

Really?

Yes.

Sure, his girlfriend liked it.

That's my CD.

I left it here a few days ago.

Can dreams be catching?

I guess I've been too nervous.

After a while, I fall asleep.

The girl fell asleep

in my place that afternoon.

I thought about waking her up...

but for some reason I didn't.

Sh*t!

Don't set fire to anything.

Watch those candles.

This is your fault.

What's gotten into you lately?

Why didn't you pay

the electricity bill?

Where have you been

getting to every day?

I went to see the doctor.

Really? You haven't been

taking medicine.

Of course I have.

You just didn't notice.

And did the doctor tell you

when you'd get better?

Anytime now.

Crazy!

I don't know if it's the weather...

but lately I've changed a lot.

I've become more observant.

I notice things I used to take for granted.

Even the sardines taste different.

You mustn't let yourself go.

You've gained weight so fast.

She may have gone

but life goes on.

You must stop indulging yourself.

You're a real disappointment to me.

You've changed so much.

Haven't you?

You can'tjust switch personality like this.

Her walking out is no excuse.

Pull yourself together.

It was such a relief

when I saw it crying.

It may look different...

but it's still true to itself.

It's still an emotionally charged towel.

I'm more optimistic these days.

Haven't you noticed?

Things are starting to look up.

You used to look really dumb...

but you've become quite cute.

But you mustn't

get yourself so dirty.

You used to be cleaner.

Look at these dirty stripes.

Have you been fighting?

Oh, that's where you've been hiding.

I've been looking for you.

Time to stop running away.

You don't smell too good, either.

Out in the sun tomorrow, okay?

What are you doing

in my apartment?

You asked me to visit.

Come on, open up!

Open up before I smash it!

Someone's looking for you.

- Me?

- Yes.

- What are you doing here?

- I've come for my letter.

Letter? Ask them.

You were keeping it.

He says you have it.

I have?

Where did I put it?

Ah!

I was afraid it would get lost.

I promise I haven't read it.

Thanks.

Are you free tomorrow evening?

Why do you ask?

I want to date you.

A date?

The boss says you're off tomorrow.

So I have to go on a date?

Think it over.

I'll meet you in

California restaurant at 8:00.

That song's not right for you.

Try this one.

I'm doomed! Doomed!

Hey, No. 663

is good with girls.

Boss, he's No. 633.

Who cares?

What do you want?

Boy, I'm out of cups.

I cleaned up my place

that afternoon.

It was like cleaning

the runway for a new flight.

I got to the restaurant a little early.

I expected a flight delay.

So I got some loose change.

Coins, please.

Half an hour later,

I broke another $10 note.

Had the flight been cancelled?

She isn't coming.
