You have less foot traffic

than a public toilet

You don't serve people whom you don't know

You'll probably end up like Richard

Clinging on the verge of death

I'm just concerned about you

His hospice fees aren't cheap

Don't be so stubborn

We took so many photos

I really don't want to mess this up

How about this?

I'll get my company to

Increase the offer by $200,000

Then we'll sign a new contract, okay?

What the hell is wrong with you?

The world keeps moving even if you don't!

So what if I want to be stationary?

So you're just gonna hide in here forever?

You're very useful! You know everything!

You know about insurance,

property, and stocks!

How come you're not rich?

You just had a few bucks

in your Octopus Card!

If you're so good, then

go make another deal!

Idiot broker

Since you've got it under control,

then don't ever sell

I hope your shop shuts down tomorrow!

What are you saying?

Preserving old, collective memories?

You're such an arrogant man

Learn to be flexible!

Stop it! Stop it!

Look at this!

You spent days taking one photo

The apps on phones these days

Can edit photos much faster than you do

You're an idiot. You only know how to fight

No wonder you have no friends!

Look at this? Who is it?

It looks just like you!

Brother Fai! What a coincidence!

Look up here! What do you see?

Just a square! You idiot!

You're eating your own sh*t, idiot!

Look at you, what have

you done with your life?

Just rot here for the

rest of your life! Idiot!

Excuse me

We're closed!

Get lost! It's closing down

Is Mr. Chan here?

We've rented this space for a shoot

What's that?

The bills that I'd been paying

I've transferred them to your name

Thank you

- Director

- Hello

- Good morning

- Good morning

I'll go over the scene with you

This scene is about you two

Getting back together after numerous fights

You argue and reconcile, back and forth

And Hin takes Wing to the photo studio

That you used to visit when you were young

Hin wants to make things right

But somehow,

You two break into a fight again

I understand. I think my character

Brought her here hoping

to make things right

Why would I initiate the

break up so suddenly?

It doesn't happen for no reason

You're illogical anyway

You always say and do whatever you feel Ike

My character wouldn't initiate the break up

You won't initiate the break up?

You broke up with me

Because I wasn't famous enough

If that was really the reason,

I would have done it ages ago

I've done so much for you all these years

I told you to act in Western movies

but you said your English isn't good enough

For Hong Kong movies,

You refused to perform as a cop

So that's the reason?

Because I refused to play a cop?

Is that why you dumped me?

I did that for your own good

There were only 3 scenes for that character

But I had to stay in

China for several months

I just wanted to spend more time with you

Was I wrong in thinking that?

We were just discussing the script

We're good...

Get ready... be quiet

It's theirs

It doesn't look like

they're paying you much rent

I'm just earning some interest for you

Did you spike my beer that time?

It wasn't my fault

You just couldn't hold a drink

PSA's teach us that you can say 'no'

Don't blame me for that

You've caused a few of

my demerits in school

No one asked you to be so honest

with the disciplinary master

Why didn't they give you any demerit?

Why did you drink during class?

I was gonna have it after class

Alright, everyone standby

Camera ready... rolling!

All right, and... action!

Why did you take me here?

We've been going to places we used to visit

And this is the only place

That we haven't revisited

There are many family portraits here

I thought we were gonna have one too

It was just the two of us in the beginning

Then it would become three

Then four

We would have a son

And a daughter

We'd come with our grandchildren every year

To have our family portrait taken

And you'd become an old lady

I'd lose all my hair

And have a big belly

But good things don't last

Time will wash out these incidents

Time will wash out people

We can only see each other's flaws

We no longer remember

how good we used to be

You owe them money?

You're crazy

It's my wife

She's a good person

She says I always put on a long face

You think I want to be like this?

I don't know what to smile at

I didn't make my quota

I only want to see

My photo published

on the cover of 'Property Monthly'

Hey son! Your dad is the star of the month!

Isn't that cool?

It's actually quite difficult

I can't face them at home

Go home and see your family

You're lucky that you can hear their voices

Focusing on her love"

"A second too slow

the loved one will lose her cuteness"

"Remember this feeling"

"Will you be forgotten

when the world changes?"

"Only one frame"

"And the most classic encounter

will no longer happen"

"Just try to remember

what is happening before your eyes"

"Capture the temperature, the speed,

the tenderness, and anger"

"What should we do while

frozen in this moment?"

"Hold on tight to the strength of life"

"Show how you really feel;

your emotions and attitude"

"Leaving behind a floating light

and a glimpse of a shadow"

"Every photo is rare"

"It captures the moment

It's better than living in it"

"The aperture likes to wander around"

"The eyes are waiting for a seduction"

"Humanity is completely

captured through the lens"

"Though the instant photo service

is no longer available"

"And even the film has been removed"

"But the urge that has diminished

is back once again"

Honey, I'm coming home for dinner tonight

You're back?

Yes, it's the end of the month

It's fine, I've got the money sorted out

Let's do something with the kids on Sunday

Sure, let's go swimming

But I haven't gone swimming in ages

I wonder if I could still float

Don't worry

All your little piglets

have built-in floats

They can keep you afloat,

all the way to the international waters

Honey

I love you

You're being silly

Did you do something wrongful to me?

Better come clean

I'm serious

- Hello?

- Hey, what are you doing?

Just had a meeting with my subordinates

I'm finishing up

There's something I want to tell you

I've decided that we should get married

Why all of a sudden?

I've been thinking and

calculating for a while

Our marriage index is positive

So it's better for us

to get married than not to

My worries were all irrational

The fortuneteller says that

if I don't get married this year

I can't get married in the future

So, let's get married this year

Monica, I just wanted you to say, "I do"

Not just for the sake of it

We should get married

because we love each other

How can you calculate that?

Let's give each other some space

Hi, Boss

Have you left something behind?

I saw my old photograph here yesterday

Can I have it back?

Really?

Do you have the receipt?
