Parking Page #2

Synopsis: On Mother's Day in Taipei, Chen Mo makes a date for dinner with his wife, hoping to bring their estranged relationship back together. While buying a cake on his way home, a car unexpectedly double parks next to his car, preventing his exit. For the entire night, Chen Mo searches the floors of a nearby apartment building for the owner of the illegally parked car, and encounters a succession of strange events and eccentric characters: an old couple living with their precocious granddaughter who have lost their only son, a one-armed barbershop owner cooking fish head soup, a mainland Chinese prostitute trying to escape her pimp's cruel clutches, and a Hong Kong tailor embroiled in debt and captured by underground loan sharks. After many hardships, Chen Mo finally gets his car out of the parking space, and, with new friends riding beside him, advances toward a new horizon in life.

Right now what you spend,

use, eat, wear every day

Who the f*** you think is paying for it?

Who paid for that tattoo on your back?

You want to talk about money?

Take a look in the mirror

What you're like now

Compared to you a few months ago

in your boondock home in the Northeast

They're two completely different people

Whose money was it?

You still want to talk money with me?

Motherf***er

Alright, I won't

That's no longer edible

It's alright

Ok. Thank you

Thank you

May I ask if the Benz

outside belongs to you?

What Benz?

The one that's double-parked

The one parked there?

There

Has it been parked there for long?

I don't know

It's blocking my car

Is it yours?

The Benz?

Yes

Could I have the number

of the Da Tong Towing Lot?

My car is parked on

a legal parking space

There's an illegally

double-parked car blocking my car

Could you send someone

over to take care of it?

Ok. Where is your car?

This is Chengde Road,

Section 2, No. 190

Chengde Road, Section 2

Sir, I'm sorry

Our drivers have all gone out right now

There are no trucks available

We can tow it for you later

I'm sorry, you'll have to wait longer

It's almost 9 o'clock right now

How could your drivers

have all gone out?

Today is Mother's Day and Sunday

The trucks are all outside,

it's been busier today

We will tow it for you later

But I have an urgent matter right now

What should I do?

If you have an urgent matter,

then you can take a taxi

Because there are really no trucks right now

Why should I ride a taxi?

Just send a truck over

and take care of this

Boss, I'm only an employee here

All the trucks are out right now

If there's a truck

I'll send it over to you

If there's no truck,

I can't do anything

Leave your phone number

A truck comes

I'll call you right away

How's that?

Ok, ok

If a truck is available,

I'll call you right away

Hello

I'm going to take a taxi back now

Are you still waiting for me to eat?

Sorry

My car keeps getting blocked

by other people, I can't get out

How can I explain to you?

Wait, I'm getting in a taxi

To Taishan, near Mingzhi

Institute of Technology

Excuse me, sir. That's not on my route

I'm in a hurry to get to dinner

How about I pay you a little more?

If it was on my route I'd take you,

I'd even do it for free

It's really not on my route,

I'm sorry,

Excuse me

The taxi won't take me

I'm really unlucky

Just listen to me

My car keeps getting blocked

by other people, over and over

So I can't get out

F***!

I didn't know anyone was in the car

Wait a moment. What do you want?

F***! Don't run! Stop running!

Stop running, stop running

Drag him here, drag him here

Take it off

Get away

Sh*t! Motherf***er!

You owe money and still try to run

Mad Dog

Motherf***er,

how dare you say his name?

Did I let you speak?

Isn't this going too over?

Let them go first

Let him go in and wash first

Let them go

Have the others leave first

Wait a moment for me over there

Ok

Long time no see

Mister, that car...

Young man, come over here and help

Take his clothes inside

Ok

It's been over ten years

How've you been?

Alright

I opened a shop

And you?

That broken down car

Still hasn't been replaced

How do you think?

That's because you're nostalgic

Real f***ing nostalgic

f***

What's wrong?

You're not in the business anymore?

Hand me a cigarette

Back when I had two hands

Life was already so hard

Now with only one hand left

How could I survive?

It's very inconvenient?

It is very inconvenient

I even have to ask your help

to smoke a cigarette

Does it hurt?

It hurts

I'm used to it by now

It hurt for half a year

After that it hurt even more

After it was severed

The place where my palm

used to be still hurt

I don't know why

Even when the hand's gone,

it still hurts?

Blackie's gang did it

That time I didn't know you were joking

So I really went and did it

Later one time

One of Blackie's sidekicks, Little Four

Do you remember him?

That crazy Four

I was ambushed by him

You know what he did to me?

Every joint in my fingers

He crushed with a hammer

Then he hammered my wrist

That f***er Little Four bit

the dust recently

He did?

Got sick

Tell that fatty

He can't stay here

Today it was because of you

But we'll come for him again

Next time it won't be like this

You oughta know

Is the master in?

That's me

I mean the one who's older than you

You're probably talking

about my old man

He passed away a year ago

How can that be?

I visited him two years ago

before I went to the mainland

That time, I even told him the 'Boston'

over the doorway was spelled wrong

It's not P, it's B

He said it was P, not B

Are you from around here?

I'm from Hong Kong

Actually my old man was too

He just came here first
