ls not just for marriage

The fortune teller says that

I may not get married

Then so be it

As long as we're together forever

And we're happy

It's that simple

Maybe we'll cherish each other more

if we don't get married

Don't you think so?

Say something. Am I right?

You must give me an answer

Yes, I know you're leaving us

I was just wondering who had the power

To inspire you to think clearly

I really wanna know

It was just an ordinary person

Getting a bonus is like living your life

You may not get it when

you need it the most

But if you don't force it, it'll happen

All right, I'm off

Goodbye

Here, hold it like this

Remember to show her this spot

Call your mom now

Do you have anything to say to Mom?

Me'?

Is there anything you'd like to ask?

Nothing for now

Call her now...

Hello?

Hey Mom, what's up?

You haven't called for a few days

And you didn't pick up my call earlier

Where' you been?

I'm sorry, Mom

The weather looks nice in Manhattan.

The sky is so blue

That's right

What's up, Mom?

Nothing much, I just miss you

Remember, don't eat or drink cold foods

You get sick so easily

Just like me

When I was carrying you,

I ate a lot of ice cream. And now,

I get headaches all the time

Oh right, Kenny called me and complained

That you didn't bring

him along on this trip

Listen, sweetie

Don't think that

because he treats you well and spoils you,

That you can bully him

You'll regret it if he leaves you

Okay, Mom.

Mom, have you been angry with Dad

For all these years?

I mean my biological father

Why do you ask?

It's just that I haven't asked you

about this before

I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't

I was upset with him for many years

I came across his video

online a few years ago

Hosting a strange show on the Internet

He hasn't changed at all

But I didn't feel anything

From that moment on,

I knew I wasn't angry at him

Because I knew that

I did the right thing back then

He's the one who missed out, not me

You were an adorable newborn

But I was most worried when you had fevers

Your temperature hardly dropped

I just wish that he was

with me at that time

But you're such a big girl now

I'm really thankful for him

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have you

For that, I'm really grateful

For he has given me the best gift

I could ever ask for

I'm off then, goodbye

HEY:

It's getting late, just sleep here tonight

You can leave tomorrow.

You need to watch your health

Okay.

Fai, how is it going?

Is Richard okay?

How are you?

You have to buy me dinner

Congratulations

I'm gonna be fired tomorrow

Just treat it as a farewell dinner

You said you would add

$200,000 to the offer?

What?

When you get your new place

I'll pay for your furniture

What is this?

What are you doing?

Hey stop it...

What are you doing?

These are useless

Nobody wants them

These are worth something!

They are useless!

That can't be. Hey, stop!

I have no work anymore, I know I failed

Listen, Fai. Stop it

Even if you close your shop,

You can always work for someone else!

Don't do this!

I didn't take good pictures

You're the one to blame!

You always said that I'm too hesitant!

What is the meaning

of being "hesitant for a second"?

He wanted me to stay behind

and help him in the studio

He wanted me to learn how to take photos

I listened to him and

did whatever he wanted

He never praised me once

Hey!

Actually, you're a great photographer

I'm telling the truth

You made me look so handsome

It's subjective to say

whether someone's good or not

The most important thing is

The person who is in the photo

enjoyed the process

And that you enjoyed

taking the photograph. That's all!

Let's... let's do that again

How did we shoot it back then?

How did we do it?

We'll do it again

All right?

We'll do it again

Until it is perfect

You have my word.

Let's shoot the best photo, okay?

Can't we just use this?

This is from your company?

Yes, it's from my company

No, I mean... We are

representing our client

But don't worry

There's no problem with it

Richard, so you've really

agreed to sell it?

Of course

That's great!

I'll leave the contract right here then

Please review it

And maybe discuss it with Fai

I'm actually keeping this for Fai

Right... good...

If you have any questions,

just give me a call

- All right, we've got a deal.

- Yeah

- Hey, Showerhead Boy

- Yes?

Come and visit Fai more

often if you have time

Come take some photographs

See if he could get those old feelings back

Yes, yes. I will

I will come visit you guys when I have time

I'll be going then

- Goodbye!

- Thank you!

"I don't take photographs.

I take portraits."

I like it!

I'll show it to the rascal

You don't have to walk with me.

I don't like people seeing me off

I'm just afraid that I'll cry

Here, give me a hug

After this, you've gotta return to school

Study hard and don't fail your exams okay?

Come here

Don't be like this

I've recorded something on your cell phone

Listen to it when you're bored

or when you miss me

The stock market is like women

Some are flat and calm

While some are perky and crazy

When you're listening to this next time

Just fast forward to this part

I'm afraid that you'd

press play accidentally

Then your mom will be

able to hear what I've said

I've listened to the heartbeat

It's so strange

You wouldn't be able to tell

what it was unless someone told you

But when you realise

it's the heartbeat of a baby

It begins to sound wonderful

I'm not a good father

I'm not qualified to tell you

how you should live your life

But there's one thing that I'll tell you

You're not a fool

You really are special

No matter what happens

I'll be here with you

Because I don't want to

miss out on anything

Daddy, though the family

photo is photoshopped

Keep this one for now

We'll take a real one

when everyone's together

Hi

Hi

You want some ice cream?

I bet the truck won't drive off this time

Two ice cream cones, please!

Can we have three?

I'm sorry. It's sold out

How about other flavours?

All sold out! Try the convenience store!

Are you kidding me?

- You're hiding something...

- All sold out!

- Forget it

- How can I?

Don't say something like,

"We are destined to meet

but we are not destined to have it"

This is the third time we've bumped into

each other next to an ice cream truck

And you don't think that is destiny?

Well, this isn't the only ice cream

truck in Hong Kong

Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower

There is one in Central

Central

"Every photo is rare"

"It captures the moment,

and 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 films have been removed"

"But the urge that

has diminished is back once again"

"Capture the temperature,

the speed, the tenderness and anger"
