Days of Being Wild Page #3

Synopsis: Set in 1960, the film centres on the young, boyishly handsome Yuddy, who learns from the drunken ex-prostitute who raised him that she is not his real mother. Hoping to hold onto him, she refuses to divulge the name of his real birth mother. The revelation shakes Yuddy to his very core, unleashing a cascade of conflicting emotions. Two women have the bad luck to fall for Yuddy. One is a quiet lass named Su Lizhen who works at a sports arena, while the other is a glitzy showgirl named Mimi. Perhaps due to his unresolved Oedipal issues, he passively lets the two compete for him, unable or unwilling to make a choice. As Lizhen slowly confides her frustration to a cop named Tide, he falls for her. The same is true for Yuddy's friend Zeb, who falls for Mimi. Later, Yuddy learns of his birth mother's whereabouts and heads out to the Philippines.

I won't be happy to hear from others

I want you to tell me by yourself

Unless you have died

Then we will be happy

I should not let you know before

I tell you,

...for you are not my own blood

I know you will leave me

I always think that I will be alright

I never know that I am

unwilling to let you go

I keep not telling you,

...l am a bit selfish

I do it because I want to protect you

They planned to dessert you

If they really want you,

they will come to find you long ago

You won't understand

I know that you'll not listen

to whatever I said now

You spoiled yourself for these years

& put all the responsibility on me,

you want a revenge

Alright

...I'll tell you who your mother is now

I can't stand it any longer

You always use such an excuse before

You can't use it any longer

You want to go, right?

Alright, go now

Go as far as you can

Don't let me know that

you are cheating yourself

Have you made up your mind?

I've said so many times

It's time to go for once

That's good

Have you planned

how long would you stay?

I don't know what

would happen there

And I don't know when

I would be back

Take care of yourself

Doesn't she know that

you are leaving?

I have to leave no matter

she knows it or not

Tell her that I've left if

she comes to bother you

Take it

I know you like it for long

Treat it well!

Has he ever come here?

Did you listen to me?

Don't you think that

you can ignore me?

I know you two meet frequently

Why do you have to be so cheap?

He has said he didn't like you already

Why can't you just leave him?

Have you finished?

Now he left you and

you'd better go home to cry

Why do you tell me this?

I don't want to know that

he treated me not so bad,

...and treated you not

so good as well

Don't touch me

He treats all women the same

We are almost closed,

you have limited time here

I shouldn't be here actually

I shouldn't give you such

a chance to feel cheerful

But I feel he likes me a bit more

No matter how,

he left you because of me

It's better for you to

know it earlier

You are the one to cry now

I have recovered long ago

What's the matter?

Did your son ever come back?

No

Then do you know

where can I look for him?

No, he never tells me

anything about him

If you ever see him

Tell him that Mimi

is looking for him

He gets my phone number

I don't know whether

I will see him or not

I am leaving tomorrow

Will he be leaving with you?

May I have a look of your house?

He used to ask me

to wait downstairs before

I really want to know...

...what does this house look like

It's just the same

Am I silly?

No, I am the same

when I was still young

Do you want me to call

a cab for you?

No, thanks

It's you, I think it's York!

He has left for the Philippines

Why you have to follow me?

Go away,

I don't want to see you anymore

Why do you ask me to go?

Why don't you just let me to follow you?

I don't want anything to happen to you

I don't want you to be so good to me!

I've told you not to love me before

What do you mean?

Taken up?

His car is now yours,

and you want me too?

It doesn't mean that I've to

love you when he's not aside

I don't like you

What are you doing?

Don't stand on my way!

What do you want?

I really want to go to

the Philippines

I really want to go!

Put the money safe

Why so much money?

Just as what you've said,

it has to be matched

He looks smart on that car

I wonder what will

I look like on that car

So, it's better for me to sell it

Go to the Philippines

if you really want to

Say sorry to York for me

when you see him

Tell him that I have sold his car

If you really can't find York,

...come back to me then

On 12th April, 1 961

At last, I come to my mother's house

But she didn't want to see me

The maids told me that she was not there

By the time when I left this house,

...l knew that there was someone

behind starring at me

Though I wouldn't come

back anymore

I just want to see her for once

To look at her face

Since she doesn't give me a chance,

I won't give her such a chance

Any spare room?

Yes, the rent will be $30,

$5 for one extra bed

How many days do you

want to stay?

Two days, I have to wait

for the ship

Thanks

Who's that?

Sir, are you alone?

What?

Not yet

What do you want?

Why? You don't like me?

Easy!

Don't tell me that

you will help me

Wake up, you don't mean

to sleep here?

Hey! Are you serious?

There is a lot of bad guys

walk passed here

Hey, wake up!

You haven't gone out?

I just come back

You have friend here?

He is just my friend

Am I bothering you?

No

She's quite good

Have you ever been

here before?

China Town is quite a small place

Many people come

and stay in this inn

Almost everyone

will stay here

Are you coming

from Hong Kong?

Yeah!

What's your profession?

Sailor

How long?

I'm green hand in this field

I used to be a cop before

Not bad

Why do you change

to be a sailor then?

I just want to wander around

How long have you

been in Philippines?

A few months already

What for? Working?

I don't like working

I am here to look for my family

Then have you found it out?

It should be counted as OK

What's the time now?

I have no watch

Half past three

Why don't we go

and have a drink?

It's already too late

If it is late for you,

why not just stay here?

I have wine here, you can have it

I am homeless

I have to go to the station

when sunrise

And it's only a few hours later

To drink is better to sleep

for these few hours

Are you leaving for some other place?

It's bored to stay in one place

for a long time

As what you have said,

to wander around

Hey, do you want some?

Thanks

Then when will you go back?

Till they have all the

goods unloaded

I think it probably

takes 2 days time

How about you?

Will you go back?

Maybe, even though...

I think it takes quite

a long period of time

Maybe we'll meet each other

on the street of HK

We won't know each other

at that time

I hope not

Have I ever met you before?

My memory is not so good

Me too

Get out of here! Go!

Go!

Get out of here!

Hey! Which train are

you going to take?

I don't mean to take the train

So what are you

coming here for?

To wait someone here

I've to go in for some dealing

I owe you this meal,

I'll be the banker next time

This is a very good passport

This is my job, do you like it?

Now, where is my money?

Money?

I don't have any money!

What a fast dealing!

Stop him!

Go!

Have you ever been to USA?

Why don't you talk?

Are you afraid of missing your ship?

Not everybody is like you!

You need not care about life!

I have to work, to earn my living,

don't you know?

Should you want a passport,

buy with money!

You should not make

so much trouble at all!

Don't you know that

we are almost killed!

Don't you think you

would be killed?

Men will easily get killed,

may be train accident!

How can you predict it?

I don't care what you think,

but don't drag me down!
