Good Take Too Page #3

---

I used to smoke too

but I quit a long time ago

I also quit drinking and eating sweets

My health caught up with me after retirement

but the truth is

if you are not happy,

it doesn't matter what you quit

it's true!

If you are happy, you will never get sick

That's why I'm completely healed now

Yes

because I'm happy

Were you happy just now?

You've been living here for so long now

Do you miss Hong Kong?

Can't really say if I miss it

Hong Kong is not my home anymore

In the past,

everybody wanted to go to Hong Kong

but now they say

Qianhai is the new Hong Kong

We might even have to dial 852

to call here later

and we'll be able to go on Facebook here too

You know how to use Facebook?

Not a clue

Then what difference does it make to you?

It doesn't matter

If it's fun, I could open an account

People say that we'll be under Hong Kong Law

a special, special administrative region

And you believe what they say?

I choose to believe

Maybe gay marriage will be legal here

before Hong Kong

What does gay marriage have to do with you?

Didn't you notice?

It doesn't matter

as long as they are happy, it's fine

More happy people make a happier world

Maybe...

maybe marijuana would becomes legal here

Crazy!

Isn't it great?

Of course not

Weather update is next

The current temperature is 35C

with humidity at 94%

a heat alert is in effect

The UV index is at a high of 10...

Our target was 1 minute

but we finished in 58 seconds

Not bad for a bunch of old guys?

We used 2 cars...

one to escape, one as a decoy

You could count the crew on one hand

"Arrested for shooting"

"Directed by:
Tong Ka-wai"

The robbery suspects: Pow, Picnic...

and their leader, Yip Foon...

How did you meet them?

Isupposeu.

Common interests

"5 Jewelry Stores Looted during Armed Robbery"

"Followed by Police Shootout..."

Mr. Yip Foon

It's an honor to meet you

I'm here today...

for a consultation on robbery

I'm a film industry veteran

I've worked as a PA, AD... every post imaginable

Now I'm preparing to shoot a major crime drama

Everything is in place

except funding

Sir, do people ever cancel prison meetings?

Mr. Yip Foon!

Please sit

How are you?

Are you Tsui Sai-man?

Yes, I am

It's an honor to meet you

I'm here today

Sir!

"FELONS - the synopsis"

Wow, so many typos

Sir!

I guarantee no misspelling this time

I went through it

You've got... "drilling"

"Tunnefing"

"Detecting infrared beams with red wine"

Why waste good wine?

And...

where's the helicopter you talked about?

I'm taking a minimalist approach this time

To achieve the effect

the production has been scaled down

Just admit you have no money

- Foon, how have you been?

- "Long Walk to Freedom"

I've thought about it

Why am I letting others cash in on my script?

I'm entering the Post-Wave Film Contest

I could win a movie deal

You'll soon be released from prison

I was thinking...

consulting is a waste of your talent

You should consider acting

Be my lead actor

Let's collaborate!

Sai, life isn't just about one thing

There's a whole world out there

You either have it or you don't

Don't limit yourself...

to stupid gangster movies

Stupid?

I grew up on HK gangster films!

You call that stupid?

You were one smart thief

But who's in prison now?

I know nothing...

except making movies

I must see this project through...

even if it costs me my life

Do you have a death wish?

Then let's do it

We'll shoot this

- See you outside

- "The Perfect Heist"

Guys, let's go

"Today"

"8 days 89"

Sha Tsui Road turning onto Chuen Lung Street...

90, 120, a total of 2 shops

Wow...

It's a red light!

Switch

You're good...

Picnic, slow down

Keep your distance, do you copy?

We'll block traffic at this speed

Why not let them pass?

Sir, Car B's cover might be blown

Act natural, overtake them

Go past them

Turn at Sha Tsui Road

Circle around and tail them again

Roger that

The bakery unloads at 10:25

The egg tarts come out at 10:45

Are egg tarts important?

No, but the delivery truck is

The truck will block the entire lane

It's the best time to act

Fewer cars means fewer variables

But there are cars here all the time

Busy traffic

Figure it out, Mr. Filmmaker

"8 days 89"

"Today"

We're not supposed to stop here

Our view is blocked

Go to the next intersection

Get out, keep watch

Tzik, follow me

Everyone, stay calm

Keep the channel open

Don't lose the bosses

- I'm ready.

- Walk slowly

Everyone, stay calm

Cheung, Sir

The sign says "shooting in progress"

But the proposed shoot is for

the day after tomorrow!

The delivery truck finished unloading

What's the hold up?

The truck is leaving!

Take action!

What're you waiting for?

Chun, check out the car

Sir, they're dummies!

Sai, roll camera!

You pretended to shoot a film to rob a store!

No! We faked the shoot...

I mean we staged the robbery to shoot a film!

You switched cars

The schedule was pushed up 2 days

When did you start planning this robbery?

It wasn't a robbery!

We were filming a documentary

This film will be awesome

I'm shooting it semi-documentary style

In other words

up to the day of the robbery...

I'll be living with you guys

Can you please turn off that light?

The color seems off

Never mind, just be yourselves

Wow...

even thieves are vain about their nails

Pow,

please move to the left a little

No! To my left, your right

Right

Good

5,June

I followed Foon and his two henchmen to...

What "henchmen"?

"Brothers" sounds better, don't you think?

5,June

I followed Foon and his two "brothers"...

to their den

The big heist is happening in 20 days

HEY:

What's the prize if you win this film contest?

A million bucks?

No...

but I could win a movie deal to direct

What? No money?

Why bother?

He's filming, shut up

Don't interrupt

Young people have dreams

Money isn't everything

If I give you a million dollars

can you go buy me a dream?

Alright, I'm sorry, Boss

Keep shooting

Okay

Picnic

Did I say something wrong?

It's not you

- Okay

- Foon just hates blabbermouths

Never interrupt him

Okay

Also

I'm not vain

Drivers need to keep their hands in shape

No calluses

Okay

"Form and Ideology in Crime Films"

You used your filmmaking expertise

to help the suspects plan a robbery...

under the pretext of making a film

Some people strip for their art

I committed a robbery

Sorry

"staged" a robbery

Fine, let's say you were filming

Does it give you the right to endanger lives?

Even your permit was fake

FSO never approved your application!

Falsifying a government document...

is a criminal offense under section 73...

of the Crimes Ordinance, Cap. 200

The maximum penalty is 14 years!

As if FSO cares...

Everything I did was for the shoot

Those guns were fake

The stolen jewelry were props

Jewelry was missing from the shop

They're still tallying

If the jewelry doesn't turn up

you'll be charged as an accomplice

Your sentence will be just as long
