532

00:
44:24,628 -- 00:44:26,107

and draw them into a comic.

533

00:
44:27,331 -- 00:44:30,039

But my hands aren't up to it.

534

00:
44:30,601 -- 00:44:33,104

I pick up a pen to draw you,

and I always end up putting it down.

535

00:
44:34,271 -- 00:44:36,478

So I decided to take those memories

and tape them.

536

00:
44:37,007 -- 00:44:39,009

I guess this is how

I'll have to remember you.

537

00:
44:40,277 -- 00:44:43,087

Do you remember that basketball court

surrounded by a chain-link fence?

538

00:
44:44,048 -- 00:44:47,325

I used to sit on the bench by the tree

539

00:
44:48,018 -- 00:44:49,258

and hold a book over my face,

pretending to read,

540

00:
44:50,054 -- 00:44:53,365

and I'd watch you,

running and jumping on the court.

541

00:
44:55,192 -- 00:44:56,262

I remember watching you

542

00:
44:56,660 -- 00:44:59,641

in the classroom while you gave yourself

headaches over math problems

543

00:
45:00,230 -- 00:45:02,210

While I was at dance practice, I used to

544

00:
45:02,399 -- 00:45:04,436

songs on your guitar over and over,

545

00:
45:05,135 -- 00:45:07,308

and then I'd sneak a bottle of water

with a smiley face on it

546

00:
45:07,538 -- 00:45:08,983

into your guitar case.

547

00:
45:12,209 -- 00:45:13,313

I'm sure you never realized

548

00:
45:14,078 -- 00:45:16,319

that when you couldn't find your bike keys,

549

00:
45:17,147 -- 00:45:19,423

I was watching you, laughing.

550

00:
45:20,384 -- 00:45:23,365

It was so cute how frantic you used to get.

551

00:
45:30,461 -- 00:45:31,531

His name was Gong Ning.

552

00:
45:31,795 -- 00:45:33,103

He went to high school with my daughter.

553

00:
45:35,165 -- 00:45:35,700

What do you want from me?

554

00:
45:37,334 -- 00:45:40,110

I've been watching a lot of bands.

555

00:
45:40,504 -- 00:45:42,643

In terms of age and personality,

you're a lot like him.

556

00:
45:43,540 -- 00:45:46,043

Our guitarist, Chunzi.

He calls himself "gregarious".

557

00:
45:46,276 -- 00:45:47,084

I'm very pleased to meet you, ma'am.

558

00:
45:50,380 -- 00:45:51,017

Guqi, our keyboardist.

559

00:
45:51,348 -- 00:45:53,294

She collects vintage cameras.

560

00:
45:53,650 -- 00:45:54,720

We call her "Nick Funry".

561

00:
45:55,419 -- 00:45:58,593

Liang Liang, our bassist.

He calls himself "second-generation rich."

562

00:
45:59,056 -- 00:45:59,693

I am in spirit.

563

00:
46:01,492 -- 00:46:02,334

Meng Dong, our drummer.

564

00:
46:02,726 -- 00:46:03,761

I already knew that.

565

00:
46:04,795 -- 00:46:07,708

You throw the drumsticks off the stage

after every show.

566

00:
46:08,098 -- 00:46:09,805

Off the stage after ever show.

567

00:
46:10,834 -- 00:46:12,575

Which is why we call him

the Groupie Magnet.

568

00:
46:13,070 -- 00:46:14,640

Don't listen to them.

569

00:
46:15,105 -- 00:46:16,311

I just like to make new friends.

570

00:
46:20,477 -- 00:46:21,512

My girlfriend, Peng Wei.

571

00:
46:22,679 -- 00:46:23,419

We're about to split up.

572

00:
46:29,686 -- 00:46:30,494

That's my dad.

573

00:
46:31,488 -- 00:46:34,367

No I'm not. But the job's open.

574

00:
46:38,829 -- 00:46:43,539

In... the future, I'd like you all to

call him Gong Ning around my daughter.

575

00:
46:46,203 -- 00:46:47,079

Thank you, everyone.

576

00:
46:55,746 -- 00:46:56,850

So what do you want me to do, exactly?

577

00:
46:58,115 -- 00:47:00,652

Make my daughter fall in love

with Gong Ning.

578

00:
47:03,887 -- 00:47:04,797

Are you Song Shiqiao?

579

00:
47:06,690 -- 00:47:07,395

I'm Gong Ning

580

00:
47:08,392 -- 00:47:09,871

No matter how close we are, we're not twins.

581

00:
47:10,360 -- 00:47:11,532

How could she not be able

to tell the difference?

582

00:
47:12,162 -- 00:47:13,197

Unless there's something wrong

with her head?

583

00:
47:16,733 -- 00:47:17,711

You've changed a lot.

584

00:
47:18,635 -- 00:47:19,807

I didn't recognize you at all.

585

00:
47:20,470 -- 00:47:23,212

She's perfectly intelligent,

she just has some problems with her memory.

586

00:
47:23,874 -- 00:47:25,148

It's bad enough that you brought it,

587

00:
47:25,442 -- 00:47:27,479

but why did you

let the chicken out of the bag?

588

00:
47:28,278 -- 00:47:29,450

My park is full of kids!

589

00:
47:30,214 -- 00:47:31,124

iGuess who pays if someone gets hurt'?!/i

590

00:
47:31,415 -- 00:47:32,120

Is she still looking?

591

00:
47:32,883 -- 00:47:33,554

Don't turn around.

592

00:
47:34,585 -- 00:47:35,290

Yeah.

593

00:
47:37,821 -- 00:47:41,428

My daughter has a genetic disorder.

She takes pills.

594

00:
47:42,426 -- 00:47:44,667

And those pills cause

significant memory loss.

595

00:
47:44,862 -- 00:47:48,639

Mom, is this medicine making me stupid?

596

00:
47:49,633 -- 00:47:50,543

Why would it'?

597

00:
47:51,468 -- 00:47:52,378

So he was in a band?

598

00:
47:52,903 -- 00:47:54,644

And he was a really good guitar player.

599

00:
47:55,405 -- 00:47:57,442

Our music teacher

couldn't shut up about him.

600

00:
47:58,208 -- 00:48:00,688

If he were still alive,

he probably would be.

601

00:
48:01,612 -- 00:48:02,352

He's dead?

602

00:
48:03,380 -- 00:48:03,881

Car accident.

603

00:
48:06,250 -- 00:48:07,388

But my daughter doesn't know.

604

00:
48:07,718 -- 00:48:10,198

The school thought the news would

affect the other students,

605

00:
48:10,387 -- 00:48:12,264

so they told his classmates

he transferred to another school.

606

00:
48:12,489 -- 00:48:13,695

But we all know the real reason

607

00:
48:14,191 -- 00:48:15,192

why he left.

608

00:
48:17,461 -- 00:48:18,303

And what's that?

609

00:
48:19,396 -- 00:48:20,875

He beat up the principal's son,

610

00:
48:21,298 -- 00:48:23,209

so they had him expelled,

and then lied about it.

611

00:
48:23,867 -- 00:48:25,813

Hey, hey! Get back here!

612

00:
48:26,436 -- 00:48:28,211

All you ever do is cause me problems!

613

00:
48:29,506 -- 00:48:31,952

I told you to stay in the bag, remember?

614

00:
48:32,509 -- 00:48:34,182

So how'd you pull it off?

615

00:
48:34,411 -- 00:48:35,890

I listened to all her tapes,

616

00:
48:36,313 -- 00:48:37,690

and I remembered that story

about the hiccups.

617

00:
48:38,282 -- 00:48:39,226

Anxiety-induced diaphragm

618

00:
48:39,416 -- 00:48:41,760

hiccups caused by a nervous

or excited state.

619

00:
48:46,723 -- 00:48:49,533

Hey, can you not with the silent treatment?

Lighten up, alright?

620

00:
48:49,793 -- 00:48:52,535

So what,

you're proud of lying to a girl for money?

621

00:
48:55,365 -- 00:48:57,641

She has more than 300 tapes like this.

622

00:
48:57,901 -- 00:48:59,972

You know, erotic psychosis,

in this day and age, that's something.

623

00:
49:00,470 -- 00:49:01,881

I'll pay back the money you spent on me.

624

00:
49:02,506 -- 00:49:03,382

I can't do this.

625

00:
49:04,007 -- 00:49:05,680

How much do you make for a show?

626

00:
49:06,476 -- 00:49:07,454

Could you pay me back?
