In 2011, a scientist from
the University of Cambridge
William Tunstall-Pendoe
input over 3 hundred million pieces of data
into a supercomputer
in order to determine the precise date
of the single least meaningful day of
the last century
it was a peaceful day, with not much
happening of international import
except that by some strange coincidence
I managed to be born
I've been spending over 30 years
ignorantly passing through this tunnel called life
I see the same people every time when I get drunk
they tell me to get out of this tunnel
as soon as possible
and go to see the outside world
I'm Sammi
I do makeup for the dead
What
Fortunately modern Chinese culture
still has room for shrimp dumplings and shaomai
When I see them together, inseparable
I can't help but think of Romeo and Juliet
Iove and hate mixing together
So powerful!
Well here's a discounted package for you then
It's a set menu. Night Lovers For Two
When shrimp dumplings meets shaomai
on this honeymoon banana split
now it's only 20 for you
because fate had us meet here
I didn't ask for a banana split
Miss, this banana is mine
Please get a new bag of shaomai for this lady
It's quarter to midnight
that's when these shaomai expire
fate doesn't have to be decided by god
it's managed by our company mostly
"Table for 6"
it's a speed dating service specially
designed for singles
keep changing till you find the right one,
no 10% service charge
You shut up
Hey Miss, don't leave yet
You really need our service
You know why?.
take a look, according to our database
the women who come to convenience stores
at this time of night...
...are sad, why?.
They must be workaholics
- Of course not
- Well, even worse
no boyfriends taking care of you
it's ok to refuse me
but don't refuse fate
My first name is Seven
Last name is Eleven
Then I'm Circle K
- Hey Hey!
- don't follow me
You're a pro, perfect!
don't move! freeze!
What are you doing?.
Let me check you out first
I just want to see if it's love at first sight
According to the theory of
the psychologist professor Pandora from Harvard
the first time two people meet
if one's body temperature stays
a constant 38.6 degrees Centigrade
there is an 80% probability of love at first sight
bullshit
I don't believe in either love or marriage
Well said
Having sex without love,
living together without marriage
Either is ok with me
Alright?.
Hello? what's wrong dad?
Huh? Shenzhen?
What are you doing in Shenzhen?
Just watching her move
I can tell she's no ordinary woman
what's more she absolutely is no ordinary woman
"1 980's pop sensation"
"the Wynners"
"Kenny Bee as the Zombie""
Look at your dead looking face,
goofing around your whole life
What goofing around?.
It's my job to be a zombie
You called me urgently yesterday
I called back but your phone was off
I called your home and no one answered
I'm up to my ears in debt,
how can I turn on my cellphone?
You're kidding me?. you're in debt again?
Not me this time, it's your mother
I'm sorry, it's stepmother
We broke up seven times within two years
It's getting hard to keep her in line
Harder than raising a daughter
You deserve it
She is the most vain of all my classmates
and you picked her?
if you hadn't called her up to fix the computer
how was I supposed to make her your mom?
I didn't call her
and she invited herself
What are you reading uncle?
Horse Racing Tips
Those tips are a scam
Here's my tips for you
I'm off now uncle
Scarlet, where are you going?
Back to home to wait for a call
Wait for me
ok! I'm going to Betting Center
Wait
What is it?.
Race 2, 3 hooks 38, 90, 12
What's Scarlet running away from this time?.
She promised a businessman Charles from Guangzhou
to hold The Wynners' 38th anniversary concert
and already spent the 500 thousand deposit
Just have the uncles come out for help
Hey! aren't you supposed to
scare people as a zombie?.
You can't just stand around
Jeez! You scared the sh*t outta me!
You think I didn't call them?
they all have work to do
That's right,
I just can't understand
why every one from the Wynners has work
only you could end up like this
What? Like what?
at least I stand on my own two feet
Being a zombie is
a perfectly respectable occupation
I beat three students from Hong Kong University
when I had my interview
I didn't scare those last two guys,
I'll try harder next time
Is there any point so low that
I haven't seen it with my own two eyes
and yet with millions of
Hong Kong citizens watching me
I can't make a single wrong move
for fear that I would let them down
Showtime
Hello!
Is Bee with you?.
Scarlet you stupid b*tch
Not answering Mr Charles's call?
where's your wife?
Stop! freeze!
- You're at Art Capital?
- Ah!! Go!
Tell your dad to meet me
Art Capital
Was it Scarlet?
Yes! said she found knock off Wynners
Jump...
What are you doing?
They told us to jump
Who?
Roger. The fourth bird from the side
next to her is his cousin Elaine
My God, you understand bird talk now
Yes, I do understand
It's been happening a lot recently
Get them back to see Mr Charles
Yes! Don't say I didn't warn you
Wow! I can't believe we survived the fall
It's God's will that
I go to Guangzhou to chop that b*tch
They are down there
It's mutation of bird flu Dad
Thank you Roger
Daughter, I've heard there are lots of singers
staying in Art Capital hoping to be discovered
Well, your wife is "lucky" this time,
let me tell you
I'm here to chop her up
I'm heading back to Hong Kong
after I'm done! Got me?
No way! If we could just handle this concert
I could turn over a new leaf
What if those knock off Wynners get popular
I am their manager
Art Capital, please
Megan, here's my chance
If I become an actor
I could finally get close to you
Roger
I am Wen from Foshan
I graduated from the movie Yip Man
and the sequel
Hey Driver
Just a little more Lynn Xiong please
Hey!
We have no money
I am a policeman
weeding out the bad and
protecting the good is my sworn duty
It's Method Acting
I just turned Yip Man into a policeman
using only my imagination and a gun
but his name is still Yip Man
Fantastic
Well, I'll give you a chance
Alright, character, role, personality?
taxi driver
Ok! sit tight
This is crazy, does he has driving license?
...You two talent scouts, I could take on
it's just like flying a plane!
...ten Donnie Yens!
What are you doing?
I'm looking for singers, not circus performers
dad
What do you want?
I'm looking for my wife
Scarlet
What you said has inspired me
I'll sing a song for you
You are not the only singer here, I can sing too
manager
Go
Miss Jade! Miss Jade!
It's too dangerous here
