Dudu!

What?

Come here!

Why?

I have to hang something

You never stop!

"""Okay, okay!"""

Get me the 8-God banner

I know what you need

Really?

"""Granny, where is it?"""

It's there!

I got it

"""Right, it's Dragon Boat Festival day"""

Here's the 8-God banner

I'll show you some magic

Watch this Here

"""1, 2, 3! It's here, right? Watch!"""

Why are you standing there?

Keep quiet!

"""Watch 1, 2, 3!"""

My kid brother plays tricks

Shut up!

My kid brother plays tricks

"""1 , 2, 3!"""

"""The water's boiling, quick!"""

Who are these gods?

The 8 Gods

I know that much!

Put it up

Your sticky rice is ready

Uncle!

How does it go?

Keep it level!

"""Dad, the water's too hot!"""

"""Ah Kee, what are you doing?"""

Washing my feet!

"""That water's for the rice,

not to wash your feet!"""

Damn it!

"""Careful, it's hot"""

Careful!

"80 hot, so hot

Here's the sticky rice

Wei!

Feels good!

You're soaked again! Every time it rains

Act your age! What's wrong with you?

Don't you ever listen?

Clean up your room! You never listen!

What's wrong with my room?

It's a pigsty!

"""If you hadn't squandered all our money,"""

We'd be better off

"""All right, Granny, don't go on at him

Min is sleeping"""

Dudu

What is it?

Get Wei a towel

Why can't he get one himself?

Where's my mousse?

I didn't take it

"""Come on, get it for me"""

Here it is

"""Jie, what have you done?"""

The floor's all wet!

Mop it up! You hear me?

Okay!

Why don't you do one of me?

Wouldn't you rather Min did one?

Don't you like hers better?

You do one

"""Don't want to, mine are no good"""

How come you're all wet?

Never you mind

Won't you catch cold?

Just be quiet!

"""Jie, won't you catch cold?"""

Stop pacing around! Sit down!

Where's the pen I was using yesterday?

"""Ah Jie! Ah Kee, come here and pray!"""

Come on! Did you hear me?

Mu-Dad' rm here..."-

Where's Jie?

"""Dad, I've done it"""

Ah Kee

"""Ah Jie, I've done mine"""

Aren't those the ones?

I want to do something like this

You'd find it easier to start with

a pencil sketch

Start with a sketch

I want to do this kind. Where is this?

Yilan

Yilan

Where you and your boyfriend...

How come the sea looks dead?

Does it?

"""Sure, there's no fish!"""

Here it's beautiful

"""See, the sun shines through the blue waves"""

guess so, it was just the way I saw it"""

But the most important thing

is my Bruce Lee!

"""No, no"""

Paint a Bruce Lee for me

Do one yourself

Please do Bruce Lee in oils for me!

Do it yourself!

"""Uncle, don't drink too much"""

okay

Put your shirt on!

Okay

Put your shirt on!

More rice?

Put your shirt on!

Just had a shower, I'm still hot"""

Wear your shirt at the table

okay

"""Dudu, can I have some rice?"""

Put it down.

Why don't you listen to your dad?

"""Ah Kee, you caught a cold?"""

Put on your shirt or I'll spank you!

Wipe your nose!

"""Dudu, turn down the TV, it's too noisy"""

Why is it always me?

What?

Just the vegetables?

"""Granny, can I help you with anything?"""

I can manage

You can manage okay

"""Dad, did you try the lottery again?"""

No!

Really?

No

Good

I wouldn't dare

"""Jie, I don't have any rice"""

You don't? Hang on

"""Granny, does Dad still try the lottery?"""

"""He used to, but he's stopped now"""

Take this to Dad

You haven't given him any rice

He just wants vegetables

"""Ah Jie, any chilli sauce?"""

"""Oh, it's here never mind"""

"""Hello, good evening"""

First time here?

"""No, we're regulars I'm with Manager Ho"""

"""Ah, Manager Ho it's been a while"""

How's business?

"""Great, couldn't be better"""

Any nice chicks?

Everything you could want!

I'll tell them you're coming up

"""Hello, two coming up. It's Manager Ho"""

Ah Jie and I are very different

I've always thought of myself as a happy guy

A very particular kind of person

"""Pretty well grounded,

not much of a dreamer

It's just that

...l seem to hit too many bumps in the road

Good evening

"""Good-looking! Nice butt, too!"""

Feel this! I got a big one!

Ready for your best chicks!

Cut it out

"""Yes, sir they'll look after you upstairs"""

"""Hello, a group of three Weird guys"""

Roger! Upstairs copy!

My cousin Ah Jie

...is completely hooked on conjuring tricks

He'd love to be able to transform

anything and everything

I remember when he was in junior high

He took a bus to Taichung all by himself

to look for his mother

But she brought him straight back here

That was on Mothers' Day

"""From that day on,

he's been the way he is now"""

Ah Jie and I are very different

My mother died of cancer

My twin sister Min has a terminal illness too

The family gets along okay

Let her rest.

"""You two are twins, and your sister's so ill

Are you gonna have a problem too?

What kind of problem?

How should I know?

Isn't it the same thing that killed your Ma?

Are you gonna have a problem too?

I don't know!

Give me a light

"""F***, I'll have to fix that light again tomorrow"""

Just tell your dad to put up less street lights!

This one is here so you can read the sign

He is the way!

You should cherish your life

and learn from me

For I am the truth

Shut up! Moron

Whose it that?

Who didn't clean up after themselves?

"""Naughty kid, I'll punish you"""

Ah Jie! Get a move on!

This should have been fixed earlier

I'm coming

Where's your spirit?

"""They're always going out, dunno why"""

Not even a spark of spirit I've had it

It needs a new bulb!

Unbelievable!

"""The way, the truth and the life

what the hell?"""

It breaks every three days

Hurry UP!

I was talking to Dad

Talking? While I'm waiting here?

I could do that

Then why don't you? You fix it!

Hold it steady

Hold this

It's always broken

ls this one a dud?

Bring it

"""No, I don't want to

Hold it

"""No, I don't want to carry the steps"""

""""The way, the truth and the light

I was right about that one"""

"""Here, I'll show you some magic. Watch"""

"""The marble is here, right?"""

I take this pen The marble's in this hand

"""Watch! 1, 2, 3! The pen's gone!"""

Seen that before

Here

Seen it

ls the marble still in here?

Seen it

I showed you before?

Seen it

"""That's not cool, don't embarrass me"""

You showed me before

Embarrassing! What can I do?

Let's see...

I could make the paper bird fly

out the window

Or how about I think it and you

make it happen?

"""Okay, let's do it! Concentrate!"""

Sure?

Concentrate!

Are you sure?

"""Eyes closed, palms together

"""Eyes closed, concentrate

Palms together?

Think of one particular thing!

Not like Ah Kee does it

mu-Okay' rm thinking"...-

"""Okay, here it comes!"""

I'm thinking

Go! Go! Be serious!

Ah Jie!

What? What are you thinking of?

There's a unicorn

What is this?

It's fake!

"""Sorry, I hope it didn't scare you"""

"""Hey, this is yours"""

Thanks! Sorry

It's okay

Sorry!

That's a big horse!

Is that what you thought of?

Really?

What's happening?

No response

Damn it!

You idiot

Scared the sh*t outta me
