""" Jie hurry """

What's the rush?

You're too slow

You should take care of it yourself

What's the rush?

You couldn't find it

We're not at war! What's the rush?

Ready? Sit tight

"""sit tight' okay?"""

"""Hey, Dad!"""

Nothing I was calling my Dad

What's the rush?

Got things to do

Got an appointment

"""Hi, Meizi!"""

Wei! What brings you here?

Ah Hua told me to come

This is Ah Jie

"""How are you doing Jie?"""

Why weren't you at work yesterday?

I went to Chungli with some friends

Why Chungli?

Nice to meet you

"""Fine, no trouble at all"""

"""Brother Gu, I'll wait outside"""

He's perfect

Yes

The company needs manpower

Transfer him to the business department

Give him a chance

Who's this?

"""Brother Gu, this is my buddy Jie"""

"""Nice to meet you, Brother Gu"""

Ah Jie?

What did you do before?

I was with a ceremonial troupe in temples

A ceremonial troupe?

Could you fit in here?

I think so

Are you sure?

Stick with Ah Wei and learn from him

The company will treat you well as

long as you work hard

OK:

I didn't drink much tonight

How come I'm so drunk?

"""Everybody out! Listen to me, all of you!"""

Attention! Stand still!

Salute! Attention!

You're all useless!

Train you well usually,

but today's a write-off"""

Stand still!

Don't make more trouble for me

I usually train you well

You're all making trouble for me

Are you going to bed?

""""Don't sleep, okey?"""

How was it on Mt Turtle Island?

Tell me

Wake up!

Ah Wei!

Your uncle is taking me to Mt Turtle Island

ls that okay?

Ah Wei! Do you hear me?

Why don't you answer me?

"""Time to sleep, Dad, it's late"""

I know it's late

Your uncle's taking me to Mt Turtle Island

"""Dad, the lottery closes tomorrow"""

"""Oh, the lottery!"""

"""If I win, I won't get drunk"""

What is taking so long?

The ignition key jammed?

It's okay now

"""Hey, are they going to my place?"""

Let's go! Let's get there and come straight back

...Bye' Uncle!...

"""Auntie, sister, good to see you"""

Granny! Sister! The doctor's here

Sister! The doctor's here to see you

"""Young man, may I sit there?"""

Sure

Sorry...

Thanks

"""Hey, I'll show you some magic"""

Let's change seats I'll show you

Really?

"""Sure I will, just watch me"""

OK:

"""Here's a dollar coin, right?"""

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

"""1, 2, 3! It's gone!"""

You hid it in your pocket

I don't have any pocket

How did you do that?

"""I'll bring it back. 1, 2, 3!"""

Want to see it again?

"""I'll do it again, watch closely"""

I'll do it slowly

1, 2, 3!! It's gone

"""You're good, very good"""

"nun-s gone' right-y..."

You are really good

"""Ah Jie, does your cell-phone work here?"""

Hello?

Mu-Okay' I know..."-

We missed our stop!

""""Ah Jie, hurry!""""

Slow down. Wait for me

We missed the stop! Hurry!

You're as white as a corpse!

Let me catch my breath

Quick!

Ah Wei! It's so heavy!

It's really heavy!

"""Wei, shall we look inside?"""

You open it

"""Hey, what's the matter with you?"""

Ah Wei! Are you okay?

Ah Wei! Want to see?

You take a look

I've seen it

Want to take a look?

What are you two doing here?

Nothing He's carsick

Carsick? A kid like him gets carsick?

Don't throw up there!

Sorry...

Use the garbage bins at the back!

Don't do it there!

Sorry

Let's go. Sorry!

Let's get outta here. Or he'll find he's

out of gas and ask us to push!

"""Hey, kids! Will you do me a favor?"""

Let's get out of here!

Wait for me

"""Ah Min, if there's nothing else,

I'll leave now"""

OK:

She's worried about her hair

I'll ask Dudu to buy her a wig

"""Sister, you want it straight or curled?"""

Curled

She cares so much about how she looks

"""Ah Min, you said I was pretty

Exactly"""

Our Min was pretty before

"""She still is now

With a wig, she'd be beautiful"""

She's beautiful even without one

She's always beautiful

Thanks

"""Min, I'm leaving"""

Bye

I'll see her out

"""Granny, I'm leaving"""

"""Sister, are you hot?"""

Sweating a lot

You feel very hot? ls that better?

It's hard for you all

It's hard for Dad too

"""It's hard for her, and for all of you too

It's to be expected"""

The doctor will do all he can

"""If anything changes, just call us"""

The doctor will take care of it

Don't worry too much

Thank you

Don't neglect yourselves for her sake

Dad must take care of himself too

I'll see them off

"""Dad, what's going on?"""

Out of the way!

What is it? How is sister?

"""Sister, how are you?"""

It's okay. No change

Did the doctor say anything?

It was just a check-up

Why are you sweating so much?

I don't know

Feverish?

"""I'm busy daytime, but I'll

keep you company in the evenings"""

I'm free then

"""Ah Wei, you know what?"""

I used to feel that time has stopped

But as I think about it

it feels more as if it's me

who has stopped, not time"""

I hate going to the hospital

All those tests

hate it, I really hate it"""

I'm always trying to find things

to say to Sister

"""At first, she tried to make me feel better"""

She'd say that she was used to her illness

But these days she's always throwing up

Even when she's dreaming

She keeps saying

that Dad didn't look after Mother well

He went gambling every day

Ah Min left the family

Later she said she'd been naive

Now she always thinks

that the happiest thing is

just to go on living

That's the happiest thing

Hello? Yes

I've been busy day and night

"""Look' he-s dead"""

You'll never see him again

What the hell is this government doing?

Isn't it shameful?

We spend 40 or 50 years fighting for

the nation

and end up in Taiwan without

proper healthcare!

Nobody cares if we die!

This damn government never

looked after him

"""All right, all right I sorted out his things"""

Come and take a look

He wanted his effects sent back

to his hometown

No problem

Ah Jie!

What?

Come here!

What's this? It's heavy

Anything else?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Are you crying?

Mu-Hey' your hat..."-

Where to?

To fetch my bike

I parked it over by the temple

Why the hell did you leave it so far away?

"""Ah Jie, got a light?"""

On!

Got a light?

I only just fixed it!

"""Yeah, hang on

"""Pity, it's out of gas"""

Where's your bike?

I told you already

Why so far away?

Ah Wei

Ah Jie

Your Buddy?

"""Yeah, My younger brother."""

You did a great job

Brother Joe has brought you a gift

Brother Ma

Open it

Be careful!

"""Thank you Brother Ma, Brother Joe"""
