Love in Space Page #2

Look.

Everyone in China knows you.

Can you really be

an ordinary caf waitress?

Can you?

No one gets it!

None of them!

All vulgar!

I'm not writing anymore.

Why should I write?

Hell! I'm not writing anymore!

Are you crazy? Your manuscript!

Being a writer is your dream!

What good is a dream?

I've been writing for a year.

Have you seen me collect a single cent?

Have you seen anything published?

Well... it's your dream.

You can't be frightened of poverty.

The most important thing now

is to survive and be well-fed!

Tell me, which is more important,

bread or your dream?

Bread!

Itd be even better to have it with yogurt.

Our caf needs help these days.

Why don't you try it out?

Okay...

Is this normal enough?

Still a bit off.

And now?

I got it!

This will do, right?

Presbyopic glasses?

So dizzy.

What the...

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You are...

I'm here for the interview.

Two words describe our training method:

Strict. Stricter.

How you hold the tray must

meet international standards.

Use three fingers and only your left hand.

Understand?

- Fatty, check the coffee.

- Okay!

Hold up your head...

Yes, stand straight.

Give me some smiles.

Customer comes first. You should smile

when you greet a customer.

Smiles...

You're alright. Okay.

Follow me.

Hold the trays with steady hands.

Let's walk around the restaurant once.

Move it!

If the coffee spills a drop,

I'm not going to hire you.

Stop!

What are you doing? A war?

Don't you know how expensive it is?

What's going on with you?

You, out...

This... isn't too bad.

This... isn't exactly going to pass.

Stand straight but not 90 degrees.

A slight slant goes a long way.

- Manager!

- What?

Well said! And he looks like a poet.

Say, if we hire him,

our professional image will rise!

Chest up, chin up, stand still.

Fine, the two of you start tomorrow.

Hey, your hand...

I'm so dizzy...

You look like that...

Who?

- That Worst Actress!

- What Worst Actress?

Why would she come work here?

That's crazy!

I'm Wen Feng. What's your name?

I'm... Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang!

My new co-worker, here's a watermelon.

My watermelons are crispy and sweet!

Such a dumb gift.

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

- You first!

- You first!

Ladies first.

Trying to be a gentleman?

Always!

MATW, check. Normal.

Honey,

fancy a chocolate?

I've only got one, right?

You might regret it.

Don't want it, fine, I'll enjoy it!

Where is it?

My choco... choco?

Wait...! Hold it in...! Take a deep breath!

Think about something else...

Say...!

Feeling any better? Okay!

I swallowed it.

Oh no... you swallowed it?!

I told you, one in five astronauts

would have a reaction.

You're that "one".

It's 6.35...

You can't keep throwing up.

- Let me give you a shot!

- No!

Just relax, okay?

If I take the injection, it'll be reported.

How will I ever return to space

after this mission?

If you keep throwing up,

you'll become dehydrated!

About just now... I'm sorry.

I'll report that I

experienced the reaction,

and that I took the injection.

It will be fine.

I threw up on my last

trip, it's no big deal.

Why are you covering for me?

Rose,

I read your mind,

don't force yourself.

I'm not.

You're a real astronaut.

Who cares if you're the first choice

or the backup?

This is your achievement

from years of hard work and persistence.

No one can take that away from you.

How did we start the fight that year?

I think it was over a cup of coffee.

Right...

We went from varieties of coffee

to the subject of order in the universe.

The philosophy of Self.

The fight was really stupid.

Then we had a cold war for 3 months...

We didn't see each other.

Finally we agreed to meet...

It was raining hard that day

and I waited for you in

the ice cream shop for 3 hours.

I was at the ice cream shop, too.

- Which one did you go to?

- Which one did you go to?

- Florida.

- Los Angeles.

I thought we should meet at the one

where we'd spent Valentine's Day.

We went to both...

If I wasn't there, you should've called me.

I sent you an e-mail.

Right, two words in your e-mail:

"Good bye."

You told me that if you didn't show up

then it means we're over.

If a man wants out,

it's so uncool for a woman

to beg to go back!

Okay... Okay!

Let's not talk about this anymore.

Shut up!

I have to get a job.

One,

two...

Orchid, rose, lemon,

almond, jasmine, lavender

Fifty-one,

fifty-two,

fifty-three...

Fresh day!

Mom, you're really cooking?!

Surprised you? People change.

Come on, give me some praise!

Mom, you're amazing!

Once I've mastered cooking,

you'll have an excuse to visit me.

Agree?

Do you need some money?

No, I'm fine,

I just got a raise and a promotion.

Don't worry about me.

My three babies,

The big one, she's up in space,

so I can't do anything for her.

The little one, stays with me

but she is driving me crazy.

But Mom worries about you the most.

Baby...

you always keep things to yourself,

you never tell your mom a thing.

Mom, I'm really fine.

I have to get to work now...

Bye bye, see you!

Bye bye!

Come, come on in!

Hua, how's my little one doing at work?

Not bad. She's a good kid.

She's stubborn. No good!!

I made some dumplings last night.

But I couldn't finish them on my own,

so I brought you some.

Sure. What's inside them?

Chives and eggs.

I love them.

When we were overseas,

I used to make dumplings

together with their father

after the restaurant closed for the night.

They smell great.

Many foreigners love to eat dumplings.

Dum... what?

"Jiao Zi". Dumplings!

We were so busy back then, so, so busy...

that we almost forgot who we were.

Oh no, I'm late!

What're you in a rush for? Take it easy!

Where are your manners?

Morning, Mom.

- And?

- I'm really running late!

Give me a hug...

Baby, how does Mom look today?

Wow, gorgeous!

Get running, Uncle Hua!

Uncle Hua, I have the early shift

at the caf today.

Don't worry, we'll make it.

Your mom seems to really like flowers.

Flowers?

Yes, we're all named after flowers,

didn't you realize...

Poor Dad,

he'd be given a flower shirt

every year for his birthday.

Flower shirts...

Hey, Uncle Hua, let's go.

Thank you, please come again.

Xiao Huang!

A strawberry pudding, and a cup of latte.

What is it? It looks terrible!

Latte Art, it's poetic, got it?

How is it poetic? I can't tell

If your heart were like mine,

I will bear all the pain it has to take.

What're you talking about?

What?

It's a heart! Can't you tell?

A broken heart? Are you...

Sir, your latte...

Flowers are blossoming on me today!

You look so much younger!

You look actually a lot younger today!

Is the kid late again?

No, I got here half an hour early.

How did you prepare

the dumplings from yesterday?

They were really delicious.

Really?

So much better than the ones

at our old Chinatown restaurant.

I was a cook when I was young.

Then I injured my wrist,

and I couldn't even lift a spatula.
