736

00:
58:03,379 -- 00:58:05,359

If my heart's not in it,

you say I'm being unprofessional.

737

00:
58:05,949 -- 00:58:07,394

If I play the role, I'm overstepping.

738

00:
58:08,017 -- 00:58:08,995

You're not making this easy for me.

739

00:
58:10,420 -- 00:58:12,798

I didn't ask you to be extreme about it!

740

00:
58:15,992 -- 00:58:16,766

What are you running from?

741

00:
58:20,530 -- 00:58:21,372

Take this, it's a script.

742

00:
58:22,065 -- 00:58:22,543

Learn your lines.

743

00:
58:25,435 -- 00:58:28,848

"If you want to know what running

feels like, you can borrow my legs."

744

00:
58:29,138 -- 00:58:29,912

This is lame.

745

00:
58:30,106 -- 00:58:30,846

Cut the crap.

746

00:
58:31,508 -- 00:58:33,181

You kiss my daughter,

and you're afraid this is lame.

747

00:
58:33,543 -- 00:58:35,250

I'm just trying to make it realistic,

alright?

748

00:
58:51,194 -- 00:58:52,036

When people finally decide

749

00:
58:52,462 -- 00:58:54,169

to jump into the river of love,

750

00:
58:54,564 -- 00:58:56,271

do you know what the last expression

on their faces is'?

751

00:
59:02,906 -- 00:59:04,385

He won't actually fall for her, right?

752

00:
59:10,013 -- 00:59:12,152

I remember you studied dance in high school.

753

00:
59:15,351 -- 00:59:16,489

But after I graduated,

754

00:
59:17,320 -- 00:59:18,924

I collapsed at a rehearsal.

755

00:
59:19,455 -- 00:59:21,162

My mom didn't let me dance after that.

756

00:
59:21,958 -- 00:59:23,198

If you had the chance,

757

00:
59:24,327 -- 00:59:25,203

what would you choose?

758

00:
59:26,930 -- 00:59:28,068

I'd get back on stage without hesitating.

759

00:
59:30,233 -- 00:59:32,076

But your mom said that could kill you.

760

00:
59:37,206 -- 00:59:39,846

But everyone wants to shine,

just once, in their lifetime.

761

00:
59:40,209 -- 00:59:40,550

Don't they?

762

00:
59:44,514 -- 00:59:46,187

This isn't something you should think about.

763

00:
59:51,287 -- 00:59:51,890

Thanks.

764

00:
59:56,893 -- 00:59:57,428

Hello?

765

00:
59:58,428 -- 00:59:59,429

Get down here

and get your dad under control!

766

00:
59:59,929 -- 01:00:00,464

There is a construction going on.

767

01:
00:00,897 -- 01:00:01,898

He insists to direct traffic

in the middle of the road. Sorry.

768

01:
00:02,065 -- 01:00:02,907

Sorry.

769

01:
00:03,466 -- 01:00:04,206

Go away.

770

01:
00:05,068 -- 01:00:05,910

Go away.

771

01:
00:06,536 -- 01:00:07,947

There is a construction going on.

772

01:
00:08,371 -- 01:00:10,476

They can do their job,

and I'll direct traffic.

773

01:
00:10,907 -- 01:00:12,011

I am not in the way.

774

01:
00:12,208 -- 01:00:14,518

What does this role you play accomplish?

775

01:
00:15,011 -- 01:00:16,115

Mom is gone!

776

01:
00:19,515 -- 01:00:22,587

Who says she's gone? She's right here!

777

01:
00:23,620 -- 01:00:24,564

She is always here.

778

01:
00:25,021 -- 01:00:25,999

She's dead!

779

01:
00:26,222 -- 01:00:27,496

She's not here! She's in an urn!

780

01:
00:27,690 -- 01:00:28,430

What are you saying?

781

01:
00:40,637 -- 01:00:43,174

You think getting drunk

every day is missing her.

782

01:
00:45,642 -- 01:00:48,088

You think directing traffic

is honoring her memory.

783

01:
00:50,346 -- 01:00:53,452

You spend every single day

lost in your own fantasies!

784

01:
00:55,251 -- 01:00:56,924

Have you ever thought about me?

785

01:
00:59,355 -- 01:01:01,335

When she died, it hurt me too!

786

01:
01:05,662 -- 01:01:09,075

And what do you do? Over and over again,

you poke at my wounds!

787

01:
01:11,067 -- 01:01:12,569

It's been four years,

788

01:
01:14,070 -- 01:01:16,277

but every morning, I wake up,

and it feels like she left yesterday.

789

01:
01:17,507 -- 01:01:19,214

Every time I decide to pick myself up,

790

01:
01:20,043 -- 01:01:21,681

every time I want to

walk out of that shadow,

791

01:
01:22,145 -- 01:01:24,125

you beat me right back!

792

01:
01:31,521 -- 01:01:34,001

Do you think she'd want

to see you like this?

793

01:
01:35,425 -- 01:01:36,733

Do you think she'd want to see you

drop out of college?

794

01:
01:38,194 -- 01:01:39,400

They're two separate things!

795

01:
01:39,629 -- 01:01:41,199

Then take care of the one that's yours!

796

01:
01:43,099 -- 01:01:44,100

Come home with me.

797

01:
01:45,001 -- 01:01:47,242

Leave me alone!

798

01:
01:49,338 -- 01:01:50,749

Come home with me.

799

01:
02:27,243 -- 01:02:29,052

Four years ago, on a rainy night,

800

01:
02:29,378 -- 01:02:31,756

Lv Xia's mother died in a car

crash at that intersection.

801

01:
02:32,482 -- 01:02:34,655

After that, his dad had a breakdown.

802

01:
02:35,418 -- 01:02:37,557

He went from a taxi driver

who didn't touch alcohol

803

01:
02:37,820 -- 01:02:40,562

to a drunk scraping by on welfare.

804

01:
02:42,525 -- 01:02:45,096

Lv Xia was actually really attached to her.

805

01:
02:46,229 -- 01:02:48,209

When his dad wouldn't budge about it,

806

01:
02:48,564 -- 01:02:50,544

his mom secretly allowed him to study music.

807

01:
02:51,801 -- 01:02:52,609

So

808

01:
02:53,336 -- 01:02:54,371

after his mom died,

809

01:
02:55,071 -- 01:02:57,574

he and his dad didn't have

much to talk about.

810

01:
02:59,075 -- 01:02:59,746

So that's his story.

811

01:
03:01,410 -- 01:03:02,821

When he told my daughter

812

01:
03:03,312 -- 01:03:04,484

his parents were on sabbatical abroad.

813

01:
03:05,181 -- 01:03:07,354

I thought he was vain.

814

01:
03:08,518 -- 01:03:09,622

You read him wrong.

815

01:
03:10,453 -- 01:03:12,831

He really hates talking about his family

with other people,

816

01:
03:13,322 -- 01:03:14,198

including us.

817

01:
03:14,690 -- 01:03:17,193

We had to ask around to find out

what we know.

818

01:
03:17,627 -- 01:03:19,402

Do you remember the sweater

he wears all the time?

819

01:
03:20,329 -- 01:03:21,672

Ah Lei, the guy who owns the corner shop,

820

01:
03:22,398 -- 01:03:25,208

said his mom got the collar fixed,

and she was on her way

821

01:
03:25,468 -- 01:03:26,310

back from the tailor with it.

822

01:
03:26,636 -- 01:03:28,172

The intersection, she just stopped walking.

823

01:
03:28,571 -- 01:03:29,743

He doesn't know what she was thinking,

but when she got to

824

01:
03:39,215 -- 01:03:40,558

I admit I've hidden things from you.

825

01:
03:41,884 -- 01:03:43,090

We should separate.

826

01:
03:44,253 -- 01:03:46,597

That doesn't sound like something

Gong Ning would say.

827

01:
03:49,625 -- 01:03:50,433

Why'?

828

01:
03:54,530 -- 01:03:56,373

Gong Ning was honest, and he didn't give up.

829

01:
03:57,166 -- 01:03:58,839

He didn't make excuses for himself.

830

01:
04:01,270 -- 01:04:01,839

But I...

831

01:
04:02,338 -- 01:04:04,443

How am I supposed to be exactly

the person you remember?

832

01:
04:06,375 -- 01:04:08,286

Making excuses is better than lying, right?

833

01:
04:08,744 -- 01:04:09,814

You've never told a lie'?
