And why the ice cream?

You know I don't like ice cream.

It's too cold...

...and it gives me the runs.

You're crazy

Let me out

What are you playing at?

What are you doing?

I'll kill you

Open this door

You hear?

Paging 9090.

I'd like to leave a message.

I'll meet his frinds tomorrow.

Let me know where and when.

It's crystal clear... crystal clear...

I just want to check

that I've got the right place.

It's a fast-food store,

not a barber shop.

You may think that we're

making a lot of money.

What price a human life?

Depends on your luck.

Business can be slack for ages.

So, to make a living...

...l'll occasionally invest

in other businesses.

Like debt collection.

Thanks.

Hold on. I'll get your money.

Here.

But lately. I've suffered

quite a few injuries.

I hate digging bullets

out of my own body.

It's very exhausting.

I went to bed early that night.

When I awoke next morning,

I came to a decision.

Lady, we're closed.

Two weeks after I was

injured, I asked her out.

I wanted to tell her my decision.

But... I didn't show up.

I'm sure she'll come looking

for me in a couple of days.

After all, we've been partners

for a long time.

Being partners, you get to

understand each other.

Almost able to read

each other's minds.

I'd often leave her some clues...

...to trace my actions, or

my whereabouts.

After all these years.

She's become part of my life.

But nothing can remain

the same forever.

I have to tell her

that I desperately want out.

But I don't know how to start.

So, I've devised another method.

A woman may come in

asking for me.

Please give her this coin...

...and tell her that 1818

is my lucky number.

1818... it's the code for one of

the songs in this jukebox.

After she's listened to the song.

...she'll understand my message.

Okay if I sit here?

It's raining

Let's have some fun

Oh, it feels so great

Come on

Why?

Perhaps I'm tense...

Why?

You coming?

No?

Okay

Sure you don't want to come?

Made up your mind?

Forget it

Hey... come and get it

It's not drying.

I'll take it to the cleaners

for you tomorrow.

Okay?

Did you hear me?

Answer me

Open the door

Hmm, nice. Fits you well.

Whose is this?

Why?

Do I know you?

You bastard

What are you doing?

Help

What now?

What do you want?

What do you want?

I'm overwhelmed

Great

Guess why I became a blonde?

I don't know.

So no one will forget me.

Looks great

You're making fun of me.

No, you're very special.

I've heard it all before.

From whom?

You

We were together for some time.

I had long hair.

You called me 'Baby'.

Really?

Yes.

Let bygones be bygones.

You like me now, that's fine.

I didn't say that.

I want some female company.

Fine.

Just for the night.

Maybe you'll like me

better in the morning.

Get out On your way

Get the hell out of here

Hello?

What I d'you want to tell me?

You want to have kids?

What's all this crap?

You want to get marrid? Fine

I'll marry you... but

I'll need some time.

There's no need? Why?

What do you mean?

Oh, you d*ckhead

You sent me a wedding invitation?

Why did you do that?

Oh, I see Congratulations

Who's the lucky girl?

Blondie?

Well, what a perfect couple

Me? Her bridesmaid?

What should I wear?

Chinese style? Me, as a pageboy?

Should be interesting

Sure. Is Blondie there?

I must congratulate her.

Okay. Thanks. Bye bye.

Lend me a coin for the phone?

Blondie?

I know you're there.

Stop playing games

Pick up the phone, will you?

Damn you

I'll curse your next life

Marrying Johnny, eh?

I only asked you to pay

his electricity bill

And now you're marrying him

You scheming b*tch

He doesn't love you

He's using you to bear him

a son He wants him...

...born in the Year ofthe Pig.

It's already April

You won't have enough time

Oh, I get it

You got pregnant by another guy

and told Johnny it's his

If I ever see you again...

...l'll flush you down the pan

like the sh*t you are

Hello? Hello?

I'm not finished yet Hello?

Give me another coin

F*** The b*tch has hung up on me

No

I need a shouler to cry on

The night's full ofweirdos.

This one seems to turn up

wherever I go.

I'm fine now. I'll pay you back

next time I see you.

Same old story.

I wish I could tell her...

...you can't solve

problems over the phone.

You have to talk, face to face.

It that fails, you can

punch him on the nose.

I keep my thoughts to myself.

But somehow, she appears

to be able to read my mind.

I think you're right. Let's go.

Blondie, I know you're there

Come out ifyou've got the guts

We're gonna torch the place

on the count ofthree.

One, two, three

Wrong floor

Blondie Come on out

3 seconds and you burn

One, two, three

Let's try the next floor.

Is that a wig?

No way, it comes with age

Looks blond, not grey.

You related to Blondie?

I don't know any Blondie.

Her nickname's 'Stowaway'

Well?

- Funny name

- Is she your chick?

Leave me alone, you loonies

Pervert Follow her...

- Is Blondie your daughter?

- No.

I can see a resemblance.

You've forgotten her?

- Think hard

- Leave it

We searched high and low

all night.

I don't think she knows

where this blondie lives.

I give up.

Everyone protects her, hides

her away. Where the hell is she?

Why won't anyone help me?

The slut

It's not fair

What kind of game is this?

I'm not playing anymore

You must have slept with her.

I bet you have, but you won't

admit it. Right?

You on vacation?

Think the whole world's

on your side, b*tch?

Blondie

You slut You dare show

your face? You're finished

You b*tch Slut Tramp

F*** you You b*tch

Where does all this energy

come from?

Stop eating - watch the door.

Blondie could show up

any minute now.

She comes here with her dad.

How do you spell 'Blondie'?

Oh, what the hell...

Listen to this.

I, Blondie, a.k.a. Stowaway,

behaved in an ugly & shameless way.

I'm returning Johnny Kwong to his

rightful girlfriend Charlie Young.

I hereby terminate all

relations with him.

Our signatures binding until

death. Great. You think so?

I'll make Blondie sign this.

Must get her fingerprints

and I.D. Number on it.

Get her dad as a witness.

Photograph them together.

Blondie?

You're Blondie?

You're Blondie?

Yeah, so what?

Hey, you Blondie?

I'll f***ing chop you

into little pieces

They say women are

made ofwater.

So are some men.

Most folk experience first love

in their teens.

I was a bit older.

Maybe I'm too choosy.

On May 30th, 1995...

...I fell in love for the first time.

It was raining that night.

I looked at her...

...and had this feeling

like I was a store.

...and that she was me.

Without any warning, she

suddenly enters the store.

I don't know how long she'll stay

The longer the better, of course.

When did you last wash?

You need a bath.

Huh? You stink all over

When did you dye your hair?

They say love can change a man.

I find myself looking handsome

and becoming more charming.

Suddenly, I discover

my hair's turning blond.
