and open a new locker

Inside will be what you want

A new set of clothes

Sir

Where to?

Young boss

Young boss

F*** you

What the f***'s this for?

Can you drive?

Young boss

Smoke?

Goon

I don't smoke myself

Thanks

Young boss, where are you headed?

I'm just off work

If it's on my route back

I can give you a discount

It's not on the route

Young boss's headed far?

Airport and train stations are on my way

I'm going down south

Going down south,

it's best to take my car

Young boss

You know what's most important

for driving long distances?

The most important's not to look for

Some shiny new car

You got to find someone like me

A driver you can make conversation with

Right?

Otherwise

Like that driver just now

Yelling at the slightest move

What if you drive halfway

And he picks a fight with you?

Right?

Is down south on your way?

On my WHY

We'll pass right by my house

F***

Young boss

I'll give you the cheapest fare

Going south

I'll charge you the 150 km to Taichung

After Taichung, no charge

300 km there and back

1 km is 25N 300 km's exactly 7500N Plus the 70NT minimum fare

And tolls and gas fees

I'll count them as just 1500 N In total it'll only be 9070N That's the cheapest

That's the cheapest

Young boss

On top of that

As a personal service

I won't charge when you're on the clock

I'll wait while you take care of business

And after that I'll drive you back

Young boss, young boss

How about this

9070N I can take 9500NT instead

I don't need the 70N Make a new friend

Make a new friend

Big Bro

Feeling all right?

You can call me Old Xu

Xu, spelled X-U

Not S-H-U

You don't have to spell it, I know

No big deal

It's easier to spell it out

I was driving all night last night

You drove all night and you're still taking

me this far out?

No big deal

I'm used to it

Wait a moment

Take the interchange

Rest up and get gas

I've been a driver twenty years

There won't be any issues

You're not a native here

Young boss's real sharp

You can tell just by listening

Over twenty years ago,

I came from Hong Kong

I can't be considered a

Hongkonger by now

I count as Taiwanese

Can you watch the road when you talk?

I'm just happy to talk to you

Why come to Taiwan?

Hong Kong's no good?

It's been so long

I've forgotten it all

Daily life, though

It's all the same over there

Can't say one side's

better than the other

Or the other side's better than the one

No such thing

Big Bro

Can you turn up the air conditioning?

Not cool enough?

You young people nowadays

Can't stomach the slightest hardship

When we were young,

there was no air conditioning

Never heard of it

A light breeze on your face,

that was paradise

Young boss

Listen to me

If you want to succeed

In the future

There's three things

young people need to do

That is to

Suffer Suffer Suffer

You can only succeed

if you grow up with suffering

Then you'll understand

the meaning of hardship

Want a taxi, bro?

What's the fare?

Depends where you're going

We charge by taxi meter

Taxi meter

-Yeah

Taipei to Kaohsiung?

Taipei to Kaohsiung is 7000

To Tainan?

Tainan

Tainan's a thousand less

Just 6000

Even with tolls

Even with tolls?

Everything included

How new's your car?

Seven, eight months

So new

About eight months old

Not bad

All right

I'll ask for your car next time

Young boss

What time you want to arrive?

Three

It's still early

Want to eat something before hitting

the road?

So many people are in line over there

There should be something tasty to eat

F***

This isn't a restaurant

What

There's nothing to eat here

Excuse me, do you

Oh, we thought there was food here

No, no

Uhh, that

I got the message yesterday morning

I rushed over at dawn

Sorry

My father passed away last night

Oh right, this...

Uhh

Maybe the messenger was sensitive

What happened to him?

My father passed

very suddenly last night

May I ask where you're from?

I'm from Taipei

My father had a lot of

Taipei friends when he was alive

He doesn't keep in touch with them

as much now

How did you and my father...

We were friends despite our ages

When your father was younger

he helped me out

Thank you

Please

Please

Please

Come on

Aren't they

usually only

given at the funeral ceremony?

Every place has its own customs

Don't feel forced

It's the thought that counts

That

Money?

No

Sorry

I wasn't prepared to present it

right away

My money's in the car

I...

I'll go back and get it

I'll come with you

It's fine, it's fine

It's fine, wait a moment

I'll be back in a minute

You stay here

Stay and watch

I had nothing to do with that sh*t

Bro, don't blame me

You wanted to get out of the car

and look yourself

So many places you could've looked

And you had to stop in the boondocks

What is this shithole?

What're you going to eat here?

Nothing to eat here but

bullshit and birdshit

What's there to eat?

You tell me

What can you eat?

Damn it all to hell

Nearly f***ed me over

If you're going to look

Don't look in a goddamn funeral

Someone's father died Big Bro

Someone's father died

Dead dad, f***ing great choice

Lining up for good eats

I'll beat your ass

Someone's dead dad,

and you're lining up to eat

The f*** are you doing?

Head up your own ass

Serves you right

None of my business

Dirty criminals

Lowlifes terrorizing decent folk

Sorry

Cash has been tight recently

Sorry

Dad

Your Taipei friends came to see you

Ah

What should I call you?

What's your name?

I'm Little Xu

It's spelled X-U

Not S-H-U

Motherf***er

There's no entrance fee

to see Chiang Kai-Shek's grave

Look at a stranger's corpse

and it costs 2500

You were gone so long

I thought you wouldn't come back

I'll add the 2500 to your fare

The total's 12,000

What fare?

You were the one who wanted to eat

Why am I paying it?

We should've cleared out a lot sooner

Why the hell did we stay?

Young boss

You couldn't have left

You know what?

If you ran

They would've all chased you down

and killed you

No joking

Seriously

All right

I'll be generous

That 2500

I'll pay 1000

You pay 1500

The total's 11,000

The total's 11,000

1000, 1500?

I'm not paying anything

F***

I didn't want to take your taxi in

the first place

Now what

Anything that happens is my fault?

Okay, okay. okay

Forget about it

Let's not talk about it anymore

Could you give me some cash

in advance?

Let's say

4000N Upfront?

Not even halfway there and you want

an advance

And I don't even have money

on me now

No money

Why would you take my taxi

with no money?

I already told you

I've got no money on me

Even if I had money back there

I wouldn't give it to them

When I'm finished with business

I'll have money

I'll give it to you then

Have you ever heard

of paying a taxi upfront?

With your car this shitty

Did I b*tch when you pulled

a 9000NT fare out of your ass?

Don't insult my car, all right?

I maintain it regularly, excuse me

Then cut the bullshit
