It couldn't be better!

Yazhu...

Do you remember this place?

We once sat here together...

...recording the sound of the sea

I remember you said that...

...you liked that I looked so serious

while I was working

You liked to stand beside me,

holding your breath...

...imagining all the awesome sounds...

...I was capturing with my boom mike

You liked my sensitivity to sound

and my dedication

It was right here...

...that we made the wish together

To travel around the country...

...recording sounds from every corner

of Taiwan

And it was you who came up with the title

for all these sounds

It was...

"The Sounds of Formosa"

What's inside it?

An audio tape

Thank you

Where're you from?

I'm from Taipei

What's your name?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Will you introduce me to one?

No!

What's your name?

Me? My name's Xiao Tang

Any pretty teachers in your school?

Yes!

What's your name?

How many characters in her name?

"This is a love connection"

"Between you and me"

"When the phone rings..."

"...it's time for love to whisper"

"Nobody but us can have it"

"Not even for a fleeting moment"

"Because for us..."

"...there's never enough time"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

Hey!

Who are you?

Are you a 'betelnut beauty'?

Yes, I am

If you're the beauty...

...then I'll be...

...the betelnut

"This is a love connection"

"Between you and me"

"When the phone rings..."

"...it's time for love to whisper"

"Nobody but us can have it"

"Not even for a fleeting moment"

"Because for us..."

"...there's never enough time"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

Who the hell are you?

I'm a betelnut

Morning!

Going out?

That long, furry thing you're carrying...

What is it?

It's for recording sound

Do you know...

...any special sounds around here?

Special sounds?

Anything striking

I want to record them

Special sounds...

I know...

Take the road behind the hotel

After a kilometer or so...

...you come to a wood

There's some interesting sounds there

What kind of sounds?

You might not find them interesting

It depends

I think they are

That's okay, go on

There's lots of squirrels there

In the afternoon...

...you can hear them courting

"Gagaga!"

Very noisy, but funny to hear!

Really

Go take a look

Okay

Should I go to the Karaoke with him tonight?

With who?

The guy I was just talking about!

The funny guy who sang with me yesterday

Will you come too?

Sure

We can all go together

Good

We can scam him for some cash

Are you sure? He's a tourist

Why not?

Tourists are asking to be scammed!

Anyhow...

Forget about going to Karaoke

Go straight to his room

We'll need a signal

Something to tell us when to burst in

...a signal

Go straight to his room

Forget about going to Karaoke

Go straight to his room

Just meet up with him in his room?

Ma'am...

Young man

Excuse me...

Did you get that sound?

Which sound?

The sound of the squirrels courting

Oh...

Yes, I did

Great!

Thanks

Ma'am, I'm looking for the guest in Room 252

One moment, let me see...

He's still out

Really?

Thank you

You're welcome

Hello...

He's not here

I'll play you that "Gagaga" sound

right away

Good

Wait a minute...

Hey...

Have you heard the sound of squirrels courting?

What's it like?

Listen carefully...

"Gagaga"

"Gagaga"

That's right! You learn fast...

No...

Now you're a squirrel

To get me undressed, you have to

woo me loudly!

Wow!

Of all the people I've met...

...you're the most talented

Make it loud!

"Gagaga"

Louder

"Gagaga!"

Still louder

"Gagaga!"

What the f*** are you two doing?

You are so screwed!

You cheat on me?

I should use you like a whore!

Having fun with my wife?

You're in big f***ing trouble!

Who are you?

I'm your f***ing father!

Ladies and gentlemen...

I know what you're up to

But don't go on with this

How much should we take him for?

Half a million

Too little... a million

I think one and a half million

Half a million each

Ah Bin...

When we burst in...

...you take the pictures

Okay?

Yeah

Got a camera?

My cellphone will do

How is this possible?

What's going on?

Hurry, grab the stuff, run!

Quick!

Hey!

Are you alright?

Hey!

What are you doing?

I saved your ass!

What do you do for a living?

You don't have to get back to work?

If I tell you, you won't believe me

I...

...deal drugs

Never...

The drugs I deal, you can't see

They anesthetize people's minds

Sounds complicated

What the hell does that mean?

You are seriously weird

Whatever sound you want...

...I can make it for you

"La la la"

"Hotline you and me"

"Of all the people I've met..."

"...you're the most talented"

"Hey!"

"I came to save your ass!"

Xiao Tang!

We'll launch

a big media campaign

In magazines...

...newspapers, on buses, on the internet...

All at the same time!

I must also thank you...

...for the successful press conference

The clients are very satisfied

You're our man for the next press release

I'll treat you to dinner sometime

French, Indian... whatever you like

Anything you want

Of course, there's plenty of time...

Don't think that sending her those tapes...

...will make her come back to you

Just regard this trip...

...as a ceremony of self-redemption

Don't expect too much

Don't think you know everything

just because you're a shrink

You have a cellphone?

Can I borrow it?

Hello?

Hello

It's me

Ah Tsai?

Where are you?

I'm in...

...Taidong

What the hell are you doing there?

That's typical,

you're so irresponsible

You take off without a word

Many people are worrying about you!

You know that?

You just think about yourself

So self-centered!

Who is it?

It's me

Can I come in?

It's very late

I'd like to sleep here tonight

Is that okay?

No, not really

I saw him

Your boyfriend?

We're not even divorced yet

Ah Tsai...

Do you think the Milky Way has a sound?

I've never heard that idea before

That's because you've never listened

Really?

No, it doesn't

There's no sound there

You have to be in tune with it

You know?

Silly...

Chenggong... The sound of a fish auction

October 26th, 2006

Chenggong... Site of the fish auction

I've found it

Madam

Hey

Sorry to bother you

Please listen to this sound

Listen to what?

It's a tape

Have a listen to see

if you know where it is

They're aboriginal people

They sound like old folk and children

There are so many windbreak forests

They sound all the same

But I have been to Changbing
