Parking Page #4

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.

your dad's cancer

A swollen nose and nasopharyngeal

carcinoma are two different things

You mix them together, what's with you?

You think I'll cheer up hearing that?

F***

I took you and that vegetarian

under my care

One bullshits all day

One sleeps in a chair all day

I tell him to look after the place

And he gets all pissed with me

Even makes fun of me

F***

Vegetarian and still wanna be gangster

Sometimes argues

with me he can't take lives

Why doesn't he get out

and f*** with someone else?

Speaking of you two

Laurel and Hardy

Ah Bao, don't talk like that

We've known you so long

We haven't been f***ing with you

You say that vegetarian

Looks like a lazy sh*t

But when something happens,

he's always first to fight for you

Today, if it wasn't for him

Giving a kick like that

That nutjob might still

be here f***ing around

If the police came

We'd have no business at all

Seriously

Do you know how bad

nasopharyngeal carcinoma gets?

Back when my dad's nose

was so f***ing huge

The doctor said they'd have to cut

the whole nose off with a knife

Motherf***er, f***ing terrifying

Just two nose-holes left on your face

Look like Michael Jackson

Do I have to insult your dad

to make you shut up?

If you've got time

to f*** around, then think

Where can we toss this guy?

We could throw him in a park somewhere

But the sh*t'll hit the fan if he dies

F***, so unlucky

Ah Bao, then how's this

Once you take care of the guy in the back

Send Lee Wei back

Then I'll take you

to the hospital, alright?

It breaks my heart to see you like this

F***

F***

F***

F***

I haven't been this tired

since the relay race I ran as a kid

Motherf***er. Brat

You dare hit me?

F***

(Yesterday...)

Come, straighten both sides

of your clothing, right

Hello

Hello

How was the shooting?

Alright

I still have another outfit to shoot

It'll take about another half hour

Then how do you want to meet up?

Come pick me up

Where is it?

That photo studio on Renai Road

Remember?

It's that photographer

who loves to chat with you?

Yeah

Did we make the doctor's appointment at 4?

Yeah

This time you can't be late, ok?

Please

Ok. I won't

Then call me when you get here

I've gotta go

OK?

OK. Bye bye

Your situation is very unusual

That is to say, it is probably impossible

for you to have a child with each other

How should I put it?

Because your wife's eggs

and your sperm are incompatible

She cannot become pregnant

by natural means

Why did this happen?

There is no why

This is a problem

your bodies were born with

If you want to have your own child

You will have to try

in-vitro fertilization

This is the only way

Using your husband's sperm

with another person's eggs

Or using your eggs

with another person's sperm

You can become pregnant this way

Doctor, you must be kidding us

When I came eight months ago,

you said there was hope

You had me do all these examinations

I did everything

You told me to do ovulation

and do antisperm

What did I not do?

You told me there was still hope

Now what are you telling me?

Now you're telling me egg and sperm

are incompatible, how can I accept that?

I've been with my husband so long

His sperm are just yawning

around beside my egg?

Is this a joke?

Now what?

How many more tests

will you tell me to take?

Are you going to tell me to give up?

It's been eight months! Doctor

Mei

It's been eight months

Mei

Say something, doctor

Enough

F*** you

You understand sh*t

Do you know what it's like

to have your legs spread apart?

To have pliers digging around inside you?

Do you understand?

You just have to jack off with

a porn magazine in the f***ing bathroom

You understand sh*t

Enough already

F***

Hello

Are you at work?

Yeah

Can I come over to see you?

I'm still working right now

I'm already outside the office

Can you let me inside?

Wait a moment

You eat a little first

I'm not hungry yet

I shouldn't have been like that

to you at the hospital yesterday. I'm sorry

Can you look at me while

I'm speaking to you?

Can you respect me while I'm working?

We've been together for four years?

What are you trying to say?

I know things are bad with us right now

But when we first wanted to have a baby,

it definitely wasn't to save our marriage

I would never have

such a despicable idea

Don't you remember at all?

When we were first married

How much we loved each other?

Together, there was no end to

the things we did and talked about

We wanted to have a baby

to share in our happiness

You've probably forgotten, haven't you?

I haven't forgotten

In order to have a baby

I tried so hard and so much,

and for what?

It was because I never forgot

the promises we made at the start

I never forgot how I first loved you

Yesterday I went to the hospital

After I got back

I had a dream

I dreamt I had a baby

Then when I walked into the nursery

No one was there

"Delivery Room"

I was very afraid then

and I became exhausted

I couldn't move

Then I kept yelling,

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

After I woke up, you weren't beside me

I guess you were at work,

so I went to look for you

Because I couldn't bear to be home alone

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I shouldn't have been like that

to you at the hospital

Why don't we try one more time?

The noodle is getting cold

You eat first

Shall we eat together tomorrow?

Alright

Hello

I don't know

I don't know where I am

Who is this?

Alright

There's no need

Have you eaten yet?

It's ok, it's ok

I'll be home soon

Don't worry

I haven't

You don't have to wait for me

You eat first

I'm fine

Ok

Excuse me I forgot to ask

where you're going

Take me to Mingzhi

Institute of Technology

You still have school this late?

My house is near there

Oh yeah, what were you doing back there?

I don't know either

I was there when I woke up

You don't know?

Normally nobody goes there at night

You were lucky

I was just heading back

Otherwise, catching a cab around here

You wouldn't catch one

if you stood there till you died

It looks like you're hurt pretty bad

Do you want to go to the hospital?

It's alright

Just head to Mingzhi

Institute of Technology

Oh, ok

You drive pretty fast

Pretty fast?

This isn't fast at all

I used to piloting airplanes

I am Chinese Air Force

Academy Star Fighter

Fighter aircraft pilot

I've had a dream since I was little

A dream to become just like a bird

Soaring above the blue skies

and white clouds

It's an awesome feeling

Look at me coming out, look at me disbanding

I rise up, I descend

Loosen the handle, glide

Slow down, make contact,

see the runway

Lock my four wheels completely

Glide down

Turn twice, land

Did you see that?

The ultimate speed

You're lucky today

Catching a car driven by a fighter pilot

How did you get to driving taxis?

My flight instructor told me that

All it takes to fly

is to have the brains of a pig

That's enough to let you take off

Then why wasn't I able to take off?
