Do you want to ask me

If you should get married this year?

I think you must, no matter what

Better find a skinny guy

With darker skin, like a foreigner

10 years your senior

Would be the ideal age

If you don't get married this year

You may be single forever

- But...

- You can't make up your mind

You're scared of the unexpected

I'll boil it down for you

You're not content with

your current situation

But you don't appreciate how lucky you are

Miss Lo, any trouble with your sex life?

I didn't mean that

Don't feel embarrassed

What do you mean 'discontented'?

And 'poking around'?

Doc, this really isn't the issue

Let's chat about your fear of marriage

You want to get married

but you're afraid of uncertainty

It's very normal

Age affects your psyche

This is normal, too

Really?

Emotionally, I don't feel at ease

There's a lot to think about

after you get married

First, whether you should have a child

After you have the first one

You'd consider having another

But what's the biggest fear?

An accidental pregnancy

And you'll be trapped for life!

Exactly

Doc, you also think that

I shouldn't get married?

My eldest is in 8th grade

I have three kids continuously bugging me

For more than a decade

There's a lotto consider in marriage

But if you don't do it

There are other things to worry about too

Hey it's 10. Are you opening up soon?

I've finished my breakfast

Take a photo of me, Brother Fai

Come back later to get

your pictures from yesterday

I want to have another shoot today

You don't want my business?

Richard is a very tidy man

Everything is so neat

I'm ready

All right, let's go

Let's take some cooler photos today

I'm sure yours will turn out

better than the old hag's

I told you to act quickly

when you're shooting

You're too slow

Here. All these years,

This is the best shot you've ever taken

This was just for fun

Can't you see the lamp stand?

But you didn't hesitate on the shutter

You've watched me all these years

And you still don't get it?

Ready

I want you to pose like that picture

Are you kidding me?

Undress

You're hesitating? Fine then, you can go

Wait, Brother Fai!

Should I take off my pants too?

I will do anything for you

Are you touched now?

Again

Ready. 1, 2, 3

Again

Ready. 1, 2, 3

Again

Ready. 1, 2, 3

Bigger smile

1,2,3

Look happier

1,2,3

Again, Ready. 1, 2, 3

Okay.

Hold on

Keep that pose

What are you doing?

Don't worry, we didn't see anything

We're locking up the premises

Hey guys, he is my client

Monica sent us here

We're on the same side. I'm Lee Chee Kin

We're just trying to do our jobs

What do you mean by 'same side'?

- Get the rest up here.

- No! Calm down!

- I need a lighter!

- What do you need that for?

Don't call. Please don't call

- Hey!

- Hey what is he doing?

Hey, stop it man. Calm down, guys

Let's talk about this... Don't be rash...

We're just doing our jobs, right?

But I need to get paid too!

I understand... We share the same goal

Some clients need more time

Brother Fai, you need to understand that

They have their duties too

Let's talk together

You won't get paid

if you can't repossess this place

If I can't make the deal, I'm dead

More over, if there's an explosion,

You guys aren't covered by insurance

You'll lose out in the end

It's destiny that we met

Let's sit down and chat

Call Miss Monica

Let's not disturb her

Let me handle this. Payment, right?

No problem!

- What...

- Brother Fai, calm down.

Here you go

Have some tea

Brother Fai, stop this...

Not much money left on this

You know the rules; we're on the same side

Have some tea

Thank you

Bring a fire extinguisher next time

Thank you very much

Thanks a lot

So much for being the best at what you do

Are you insane?

Should I get you a spot

next to your father?

What did you say?

Say it again if you dare

We're splitting the money

that I just gave them

You said that you'd do anything for me

So you've never regarded me as your friend?

Let's carry on

Carry on?

HEY:

Do you really want to ask me a question?

Or just torture me because you hate me?

No, that's not it

I know it's hard to recall

what happened 20 years ago

Let's watch a movie first

Perhaps we can brainstorm from that

What do you mean 'brainstorm'?

So you don't know the answer?

If you don't know the answer...

Then what do you expect from me?

What do you want me to say?

I'm actually not too sure

But I can feel it if your answer is right

anyways...

It is important to me

This doesn't make any sense to me!

You're crazy! Why don't you just kill me!

You're insane!

These films are all

about the search of fatherhood

From Korea to Macau

Asking where the father is

It's all really great

Just pick something you'd like to see

What are you looking at?

It's going well

How so?

This is the first time that

I get to do something with my dad

Reuniting with a father like myself

ls quite disappointing, right?

Not really. It's gonna have a happy ending

Don't worry

I'm referring to myself

There was a girl who had no father

When she was a kid, her

schoolmates bullied her

Her mom told her

"You silly girl, that's right...

You don't have a father,

Because you're special."

After she grew up

She realised that she was a fool

How could she believe that?

Why do I have mom's last name,

But not yours?

Who am I? I'll never know

This scene is about events that

happened earlier

After you chased the ice cream truck

You began to fall for each other

And you two started to

visit old buildings together

This is the first shot

Start running from there

All right?

This place still feels good

after the restoration

It's pretty nice

I still prefer how it was before

Let's remember how nice

it was when we began

It doesn't matter how much

we've changed later on

Right?

Try this

You have something on your face

- You too

- Really?

- Wait a minute.

- What?

You never carry tissue around

Before we lost contact with each other,

I had something to tell you

Hold on, I thought you

were giving me tissue?

No? Are you hiding something?

- Stop!

- Quick

But why does 1+1 = 1?

Let's say we're on two different planets

A place where 1 + 1 can equal 1

But this 'one' means

that we have become one

Together in this life

And the beginning of everything

Excuse me, boss

Can you Photoshop these

two pictures together?

He's the boss

How can I help?

Can you please Photoshop

these two photos together?

You don't know how?

Please! I really need it

I won't have a chance

for a family picture in my lifetime

Please help me

How can you call this a family picture

if it's photoshopped?

Get your family here

and I'll take a picture for you all

Hey Miss, you better find another shop

He's pretending to be an artist

Thanks you

You're finally acting like a human being

You still do newspaper clippings?

You still live in the 50's

It does look like this

It's Richard's idea then

I've done some calculations for you
