52Hz, I Love You (2017) - full transcript
This musical film incorporates a series of romantic stories with beautiful original songs. The stories are set in modern Taipei City, Taiwan, on Valentine's Day. The title is inspired by the 52Hz whale, dubbed the world's loneliest whale because no other whales could hear its unusually high frequency call, thus reflecting the loneliness that might be felt by Taiwanese who are looking for love in the city.
Is it my lucky day?
Wish me luck
Yes!

Basking in the sun
I can't help dancing around
The atmosphere today
Is different from every yesterday
Red, white and yellow
Are among the colors of blissful roses
But with so many choices
What will be my lucky color of love?
Red roses are popular.
-Old-fashioned.
-I prefer pink ones.
The yellow ones are eye-catching.
-The blue ones are rare.
-Hey!
What about love?
When do lovers celebrate their love?
It's today!
When do roses blossom out?
It's today!
If as love's beginning
We're to pick a day
Why don't we choose today?
It's Valentine's Day
It's Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is a good day
Here you are.
Love is before everything else
Countless people in the world
Want to meet their eternal love
If I have the chance
To reach into the box of love
The first candy I get
How will it taste?
Bitter?
Spicy?
Sour?
Sweet?
There are three magical words today
That everyone should hear
And they're "I love you"
I think we'll just get some carnations.
My old lover is
the mother of my five kids.
It's not the season of carnations.
-So there's no carnation?
-No.
Great!
So all shall be well
and rich Jack shall have Jill.
Not rich Jack.
It's every Jack.
Don't be so naive.
You need money to raise a family.
But family is family.
It has nothing to do with lovers.
Yes, it has.
Don't you need money to buy roses?
Yes, of course! It's...
It doesn't matter if it's love or money.
It's Valentine's Day
and we should focus on love.
But today, we should--
Today, you should have
the most beautiful rose.
Since I was born
I've been preparing for love
But my Mr. Right is late
He hasn't shown up yet
But each year on this day
Whether it rains or snows
I still believe in love
I love you
Sing it.
Yeah. I love you.
I love you
I love you
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
It's Valentine's Day
Get ready for some adventures
It's Valentine's Day
My heart is full of nice feelings
It's Valentine's Day
I deserve a rose
It's Valentine's Day
I deserve the most beautiful love
Yeah!
LEI
It's your morning call.
Wake up.
Hello?
Hi, get up.
Go wash your face.
I need to hear the water running.
Come on.
But you asked me to wake you up.
Go wash your face.
Are you happy now?
Have you really washed your face?
Oh, dear!
Happy?
-Are you awake?
-Yes, I am.
Good morning.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Don't say good morning on Valentine's Day.
Just say... "I love you."
I love...
you.
Do I?
What are you talking about?
Thank you, Ang.
Yeah. I've gotta go.
It's the damned Valentine's Day.
Give me a discount for the chocolate
I've ordered,
and I'll introduce you
to a pretty girlfriend of mine.
LEI
I was expecting you to say...
"I love you too."
The weather is fine
And the sun is shining
The skylines are stacking up
Not many people look up
The sky in the distance
Looks like the sea
Clouds are waves running in it
You'll never understand it
A whale is singing a song at 52Hz
With no one listening to him
He dives in the sky
No one loves him or keeps him company
The whale is in love with a girl on land
He comes on shore and shouts out his love
The girl hears him but can't feel him
She can't feel him
I look up into the sky
And down upon the city
I'm alone, swimming in a sea of people
Without a sound
Without a sound
What are you looking at?
Take those things downstairs for packing.
Without a sound
The weather is fine
And the sun is shining
I see myself as a cat
Going into a street corner unknown
There's not much space for love
Who can give me
Empty arms to stay in?
Don't leave my heart in the cold
Like a flea
Jumping, and jumping
And jumping
XIN FLOWER SHOP
Yeah, I'm coming!
I'm coming! What's the rush for?
Hello? It's Xin.
Nothing. Yes?
Yes. NT$2,800.
Yeah, no problem.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Bye-bye.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Every year on this day,
I have to watch all the lovers
hugging and kissing in front of me.
I don't like it.
Xin, sing!
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day, Xin.
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Why do I have to be careful
Not to be heartbroken
Whenever I'm ready to love?
It stings your finger a little
And you'll remember better who I am
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Or am I a sensitive cat
Smiling with thorns at some man?
Am I chicken? Or am I too picky?
Or simply because I'm not pretty?
You think every male dog is in heat today?
Auntie, why are you dressed like this?
Because it's Valentine's Day.
Do you have a date?
What if suddenly I have one?
A rose with thorns, you'll love it dearly
A fish with bones
A cat will eat it carefully
You'll hurt a girl with thorns
If you leave her alone
I don't have a lover.
How can I get hurt?
You're hurt without love.
Never mind. Let's raise the prices today.
I wanna meet someone
An atheist who talks about eternity
And he can rid the roses of thorns
Get rid of them like nothing is wrong
I wanna meet someone
Who acts carefully but loves passionately
And he'll throw his arms around me
The cat with thorns that lives in me
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Why do I always embrace love
With bare hands
But try not to let my heart break?
Isn't that you?
Isn't that me?
Who grew those beautiful roses
With thorns?
Xin, sing!
-Happy Valentine's Day!
-You're childish.
What a cliché!
Yeah, what's the address?
Am I the one to wake love up?
Let me sleep for half an hour more.
When I wake up,
I'll tell you my whole dream.
I thought it was a talent to dream
But I never thought that even at night
You're daydreaming
A dream
A beautiful dream, some vanity
A new dress displayed in the window
A romantic candlelit dinner
A pair of shoes
That I've been longing for
A sightseeing trip
A bouquet of red roses on Valentine's Day
Taxes and fines, utility bills
A wedding of a girl's dream
A dog and an instrument that a boy wants
Plus a car, a house, a child
Adding all of these up
Is the maintenance expense for our love
TAIPEI GOVERNMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT
I don't have to give up much
For loving you
Except for all I've got
I haven't gained much from loving you
Besides an overdraft
I realize the biggest lie about love
Is that love can conquer anything
Yes, the future you're talking about
Is beautiful
But when the bills come
All the romance will be killed
Should I do it? Forget it
Ask yourself and answer it
Have you done that a lot?
Why have you given up
The things you want?
Why are you always bargaining
With yourself?
You think twice before buying everything
Is it the kind of life you want?
Give up, give up, give up
Love is not charity work
If you can't afford it, just give up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set a stop-loss point for love
There's no such thing as a free lunch
All I want is a home for my love.
-Has he proposed?
-Do you wanna marry him?
-Have you thought about the future?
-Wake up!
You're losing the battle.
Life will be harder with kids.
But I...
Give up, give up, give up
Love is not charity work
If you can't afford it, just give up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set a stop-loss point for love
There's no such thing as a free lunch
Our love is
A bad debt
You pay everything on credit
And I hesitate to buy anything
You're profuse with expectations
Wasting my youth away
On monthly installments
In exchange for what you take for granted
I'm alone by the lamp at night
The wind's blowing in my face
You're as naive as you can be
What a foolish girl!
The breeze is laughing at you
Because you've fallen into his trap
Without knowing
Am I the one to wake love up?
A beautiful dream is a dream after all
Can't believe I've expected your song
And I've even got myself a usurious loan
Yes, love is a usurious loan
But you have to pay it all
I'm getting chicken soon
Because the future keeps coming closer
While you're getting bolder and bolder
Am I the one to wake love up?
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up

Hi, handsome!
He says, "Let there be light"
And I see you in the light
You and I are different, but alike
We're the lights in the mirror
From the same source
I say, "Let us have love"
And I see my weakness in love
I give half of me for half of you
We're in the mirror wearing the same ring
Their prejudice hurts our feelings
So let's look at each other to decide
If we're pretty
We're both children of the light
From afar
You're inside the mirror and I'm outside
You're looking at me like I'm at you
We're one, destined to be together
You're inside the mirror and I'm outside
We're different forms of the same light
We were both born to experience love
To experience love
He says, "Let there be light"
I see all sorts of forms in the light
We have our different longings
We're both in the mirror
We're different, but alike
Excuse me...
But alike
Are you going to Taipei City's
joint wedding ceremony?
Come on.
Taipei City's joint wedding ceremony?
You've ruined a romantic wedding.
Yeah.
We need flowers.
Stop the car!
Give us a minute.
Come on, baby.
Let's buy some flowers.
Hurry up! I'll wait for you.
It's okay.
You can leave if you want.
But I can't leave.
You haven't paid me.
Wow, plenty of them!
They're beautiful!
Come on, let's go!
Xin, sing!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Aren't you ever tired of this game?
No, I'm not.
-Those happily in love should sing.
-Come in. Sorry.
A female dog in heat
can't find a male... one.
I'm sorry.
I didn't notice that you're...
-I meant her.
-No, it's okay.
-I didn't mean it. No offense.
-Yes, I know.
-I think that love has...
-I know.
-...nothing to do with age or gender.
-I feel you!
I feel you.
You're the first man...
Woman...
That...
Coffee? Or tea?
Coffee! I'll make some.
Excuse me. A bridal bouquet?
It's all right. We'll look around.
-I want the red ones.
-Yeah, red ones.
The champagne ones suit you better.
Are you taking part in the joint wedding?
Their theme this year...
White dresses, white suits
and red rose bouquets.
So I suggest champagne roses for you.
They're gentle, but eye-catching.
But we don't want to attract attention.
Why do you get married if you don't?
Hey, don't worry.
We're young,
and we deserve the unique love
that we want.
What do you think?
Wow, it's beautiful!
-Yeah, you're talented.
-Thank you.
-Are you the owner, ma'am?
-Yeah.
But don't call me "ma'am."
It makes me seem old.
I've just celebrated my 25th birthday.
What about the... "coffee or tea?"
That's my auntie.
She's 52 years old.
Thank you.
Hi, Auntie.
Have you seen my niece?
She's there, isn't she?
No, I want my 33-year-old niece,
not the 25-year-old one.
Oh, well...
-The taxi's waiting.
-Yeah, the taxi's waiting.
How much?
Two-five.
I'm not interested in your age at all.
How much is it?
NT$2,500.
Thanks, sis.
-Thank you.
-Yeah, by the way...
-I'm 31 and she's 32.
-Add some.
-I'm 51 and she's...
-52.
But we don't care how old we are
because we have each other...
And love!
I've never seen
such an annoying gay couple.
Come on. Here.
Maybe they left
some saliva of happiness in it.
Don't miss the opportunity.
Drink it.
Oh, dear!
You're so depressed
that you've finished the black coffee.
Don't make me cry.
We're the magpies of love
The magpies that make the bridge of love
When we lift others higher
Our wings become heavier
Hey! Get yourself together.
There are over 6 billion people
in the world.
At least half of them are male.
Forget those who are too old,
too young or too stupid.
There are still millions.
So you're very likely to mate.
To wed!
Yeah, to wed.
To be frank,
you don't look like you're 33.
You're 32 at most.
All right. Tell me...
What is your favorite dish?
My favorite dish?
But we're talking about men.
You'll meet your true love
Sooner than later
It makes no sense
That you don't have one
Don't worry
I'll get one for you
I'll never let you down
How about that yuppie with a mustache?
With long hair and a free personality?
No, he's about the age of my father
And his mustache tickles me
when he kisses me.
-Failed.
-Kisses you?
You've already thought of that?
You don't understand.
The mustache is useful in flirting.
No.
He smokes and his mouth stinks.
What about that handsome young man?
With a cute butt and an eye-catching look?
No, I don't like his hairstyle
He looks like a snob
Harassing girls like a fly. Failed.
Like a fly?
Then you're the dog shit.
No, I'm a flower.
A beautiful rose.
How about a strong driver?
He has strong arms for his lover
You can get a sense of security from him
Oh, my!
Open your eyes!
Haven't you seen
that huge tummy of his?
From this angle, he looks like...
A tadpole!
Disgusting!
Hey, careful.
No, I'm fine.
I'm totally fine.
Yeah, you're late for school. Go on!
Bye-bye!
Hey, wake up!
He's just a little boy.
And you're way over 30.
No, I'm 33!
I'm not way over!
-It makes no difference.
-Yes, it makes a lot of difference.
So, you're way over 50?
Don't you dare say that again!
No...
Girls always trouble themselves with love
We're picky before we say yes
But we're paranoid after it
Always remembering who makes us say yes
As long as you try harder
To tolerate
My self-indulgence and paranoia
I'll ignore it
When you become bald or fat
Come to me, my Mr. Right
I'll definitely hold you tight
Despite all the difficulties
I'll keep on
Looking for love
-Who are you?
-You cockroach!
Why did you fly in here to scare us?
No, I walked through the front door.
-What flying cockroach?
-I'm afraid of cockroaches!
-I'm not a cockroach.
-What do you want?
I want flowers. I'm a customer.
Where are your manners?
Why are you shouting?
Hey?
What flowers do you want?
You're not happy today.
I guess you don't have a lover.
You're disgusting!
You're a failure!
At least a flying cockroach
is indigenous to Taiwan.
-Why am I a failure?
-Give it back!
You're so humble.
A pink cockroach is a world heritage.
What do you want? Come on!
We're busy.
But she's in pink too.
None of your business!
All right! It's Valentine's Day.
Don't be such a spoilsport.
Can't I have a look around?
Hey!
You can look, but you can't touch.
These! I want them!
Red roses symbolize my passion.
It's a very important day for me.
I'm buying a promise for life.
Red roses of love.
Ninety-nine of them.
And...
I'm paying by credit card.
He really can play it.
Give me a break.
I sell guitars. Of course I can play it.
And I'm good at it.
Glad you don't sell pesticide.
You'll be in big trouble
if you're good at drinking it.
Forget it. A cockroach
will never understand me.
Give us five minutes
to wrap your flowers up.
Yeah, five minutes.
Enough for me to sing a song.
-Background music!
-That guitar is for display only.
One of the strings is missing.
If you really know how to play it,
you don't care how many strings it has.
Lights!
What lights?
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Something's missing in my love song
But it's sweet as well
Do, Mi, but no Sol
That is me
I often forget her bidding
Or remember her birthday wrong
I have no house, only a broken scooter
Which is impossible to start
She says I'm good at being hungry
And I'm talented
In sleeping and daydreaming
I enjoy singing songs to myself
But nobody understands my jokes
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
At least I have Do, Re, Mi, Fa,
But no Sol
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
That is me
We've been together for ten years.
I've held her hands 12,542 times.
You've even counted them?
Of course not.
It's a sweet euphuism.
My love is the most special note
in the world.
I can play a happy melody
even if one string's missing.
I'll make
The most important promise tonight
So, darling, please answer me
With "Yes, I do"
Yes, I do
You mean you're proposing to her?
Respond to my love
How moving!
I've never seen a cockroach courting.
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Something's missing in my chords
But I'm accompanied by love
Please marry me
Please marry me
I'll sing you my love song
Through all eternity
I'll say that you've lost weight
When you're on a diet
I'll cook for you when you're sick
Lift the toilet seat before
And wash your hands after
Put your clothes away
And your dirty socks in the laundry
Give your wife all your salary
I'm getting married,
not being sent to jail.
Hey, young man...
I'm sharing my experience with you.
Hey, Auntie.
I know you're a middle-ager,
but I don't think you have the experience.
We're romantically in love.
Please...
I know I'm lazy and always asleep
And I don't have a lot of money
To squander
But I'll hold your hand
For the rest of my life
Although I don't know how long it'll last
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
That is me
My love will make you my queen
I'll try my best to make you happy
I'll make
The most important promise tonight
So, darling, please answer me
With "Yes, I do"
Yes, I do
Respond to my love
Yes, I do!
Do, Mi, but no Sol
But you'll always have my love
I'm not perfect
So I'll cling to you always
Please have faith in me
I'll root for you
Let's glorify love with our life
Through all eternity
Here's the bill, sir
It's NT$9,999
Damn!
I want red roses,
but why are they so expensive?
It's not expensive if it's for life.
Yeah, never mind.
I'm rich anyway.
So, at 7:00 this evening,
send them to this restaurant.
What? Why didn't you say so?
I didn't have to wrap them now.
But I was busy singing.
Be on time.
God!
How could someone fall in love with him?
Hey!
Come on!
It's Valentine's Day.
Wish us happiness, will you?
Yeah, wish you happiness.
Damn! No way!
Why is it raining on Valentine's Day?
But...
The sun's still shining.
The rain will stop soon.
It's only a shower.
Yeah.
It's both sunny and raining.
How beautiful! Just like my love for her.
So romantic!
On Valentine's Day,
the weather is romantic too.
Damn! What the hell?
But you just said
the weather is romantic.
Fine. Never mind.
I've got to go.
Hey!
You kept saying that you love her,
but I'm wondering...
Does she love you?
Of course!
I think that
his parents are both optimistic.
A big umbrella for the stereo!
Here it is!
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
Why is it sunny and raining
At the same time?
Is it a hint?
How can the two parallels
Meet at some point?
It's an inharmonic beauty
Sunshine dyes the rain golden
Just like you put a rainbow in my eyes
Love is both sunny and raining
You think it foolish to walk in the rain
Love is both sunny and raining
But I'm only smart enough to love you
Why is it sunny and raining
At the same time?
Is it a hint?
The two parallels meet again
What a contradiction
The rain rids the sun of its glory
Just as you make a girl
Afraid of the future
Love is a multiple choice question
Whether it's right or wrong
You think it a good thing
Love is a multiple choice question
But is it good to you? Or to me?
Above the clouds, it's forever sunny
During the monsoon, it's endlessly cloudy
If we have to choose a place
To settle down
Will it be my optimism?
Or my pessimism?
Love is both sunny and raining
It makes the strange familiarity
And familiar strangeness
Intertwine so beautifully
But it's illogical for the dark cloud
To fall in love with the blue sky
But when the blue sky
Falls in love with the dark cloud
It'll stop raining soon
It stopped raining.
Come on, the rain stopped.
The sun and the rain
don't belong together.
Love is powerful indeed.
Hey, Lei!
Have you checked the remote for balloons?
Yeah, it's good!
Lei?
What?
They didn't register, but they're here.
I'm sorry,
but I can't allow you to join them.
Why not?
All we want is to be a part of it.
It's not about joining or not.
This is a legal wedding ceremony.
They'll be husbands and wives by law.
But our law hasn't approved your...
We're not here for your approval.
We want everyone's blessing.
It was not easy for us to find each other.
Please give us your blessing.
I guess...
When you're in love with your boyfriend,
you'd want others' blessings too, right?
Yeah. Do you have a boyfriend?
What does that have to do with this?
I'm sorry.
You can't register.
But I'll put you
in the middle of the first row
for you to receive the greatest blessing.
Is that good enough?
Hello? Yes, sir.
Everything's okay,
but I need to confirm it.
Yeah. In an hour?
Okay. Yeah, all right.
Thank you!
Yeah. Good.
Bye.
A bit bitter and a bit sweet
Is that the taste of love?
When she's the wind
In love with the summer
I'm the ocean disturbed by her in June
Drinking seawater makes me thirsty
I'm waiting with tears, sweet and bitter
Salty?
You've added seawater and tears
to the chocolate.
Who is the girl?
Is she in your imagination?
I've told you.
She's the wind in love with the summer.
So she doesn't even know that
you love her?
If she's the June wind
In love with the summer
You should be the anemoscope
That blesses her
I'm a whale searching for
What the wind wants in the sea
But her love is so picky
You can make a nice dough
With the best butter
Salt, sugar, flour and milk
But you can't force
The taste buds of love
We don't have much time
to create your love today.
Come and help
with the mass production of love.
Hey, Ang...
I used to be exactly like you
when I was young.
Every morning when I woke up,
I wanted to make
the best bread for my wife.
But I don't have a wife.
How can I be like you?
Then she fell ill and died.
Life was difficult for a few years.
The bread I made was hard as rock.
It didn't taste bad,
but it had no taste at all.
Then one day when I was making bread,
I thought of her smile.
She smiled at me
and I smiled at her.
She kept smiling at me
and I kept smiling at her.
And you know what?
The bread I made that day
tasted better than any other bread.
I used the same recipe,
but it tasted really good.
-Aren't you surprised?
-No. The bread in cartoons can even sing.
I'm remembering my wife.
What are you talking about?
How many loaves of bread have you made?
Always with the same smile on your mind?
Sometimes...
Sometimes, someone else would smile at me.
Love is sweet and so is yearning.
But too much love or yearning
makes your heart heavy.
Yeah, I know.
Make it a little more bitter.
But it's difficult to give up
the unrequited love
and wish them happiness.
If she's the June wind
In love with the summer
Just wish her happiness sincerely.
It's weird.
I've never been in love,
but why do I feel lovelorn?
A bit bitter and a bit sweet
Is that the taste of love?
I learn how to play the guitar
With the hands that make desserts
Hopefully the music that I write
Sounds like summer too
And when she hears my song
She'd feel happy also
Maybe by the end of this summer
She'll know my hesitation
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
To dream or to face reality
It's a dilemma she's in
She can have love
But she can't afford it
Before your lover says "I do"
You have to ask her first
He's waiting for the right time
To make a promise
But he waits
Until he has enough savings
He always has two helmets with him
Waiting for a possibility
But in the heavy traffic
Who will wait
For a whale swimming slowly?
She's afraid that the roses
Might be out of bloom soon
Like a cat, careful and cautious
But modern people want love
And curse it at the same time
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that I'm not good enough
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid
That I won't be naive forever
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that
There's no Mr. Right for me
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that
She doesn't mean she and I
When she says "us"
So what's wrong, love?
You come to us
But we're scared with you
So what's wrong, love?
You leave us
But we're lonely without you
To be happy is all we want
To be approved is all we need
The gate of love
We can neither get in nor out of it
Love comes and goes
It comes and goes again
So what's wrong, love?
You come to us
But we're scared with you
So what's wrong, love?
You leave us
But we're lonely without you
To be happy is all we want
To be approved is all we need
The gate of love
We can neither get in nor out of it
Love comes and goes
It comes and goes again
Hey!
Hey!
Would you please rehearse my song?
It's an important evening for me.
But, Da-he,
we're performing at 7:30,
while in your text to us, you said 6:30?
But I've made a reservation.
Give us a break.
No one sings in a restaurant at 6:30.
You can propose to her
after you finish dinner.
Yeah. But it's not how I want it to be.
We'll do it at 7:30.
Listen, if you propose to her at 6:30,
it's awkward.
But if you do it at 7:30,
it's great!
-7:30.
-What's the difference?
Forget it.
I don't understand you musicians' logic.
7:30 it is.
-Hey! I don't need it.
-You've memorized the lyrics?
Of course! I wrote them.
Don't forget to ask me to sing on stage.
You're not the one who wrote them.
Don't steal my song again.
And I'll bring my own guitar.
Keep that in mind.
Hey!
I'm proposing, not fighting a battle.
I need something romantic.
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
What the hell?
Hey! What are you doing?
Do me a favor.
My feet... Pull my feet.
-I can't get out.
-What the hell? Get down!
You didn't watch where you were going.
Didn't you see my van?
You bumped into it without braking.
-But I was going straight.
-Excuse me!
It's not much to look at.
Get out of here! Let us deal with it.
Stop taking photos, okay? Please.
Thanks a lot.
-What are you going to do?
-What? Me?
You drove a van and I rode a scooter.
Whose fault was it?
It was your fault.
You bumped into my van.
You have to take the responsibility.
You'll pay to get my van fixed.
-What?
-Yes, you will. And...
I can't make deliveries
before my van is fixed.
You're going to make up for it.
What? What are you looking at?
Do you want me to call the police?
Yeah, call them.
Let them decide who's right or wrong.
You were sitting in the van
without a scratch
while I flew away
when you bumped into me.
And you don't wanna know if I'm fine.
You look pretty, but you're so cruel.
Well... Do I really look pretty?
Have you only heard what you wanna hear?
Flower shop...
XIN FLOWER SHOP
So you make deliveries too.
Are you okay?
I think I'm fine.
You're delivering others' love too?
Yeah, everything's fine.
But I'm not!
-Are you happy?
-Yes!
-Are you blessed?
-Yes!
-Are you in love?
-Yes!
Good. Ladies and gentlemen,
the mayor is here.
We're honored to have the mayor
for our joint wedding ceremony.
"May every Jack have his Jill."
A round of applause!
Let's hear it for
the Taipei City mayor, Mr. Ko Wen-Je.
He's here to marry you all.
Please, Mr. Mayor.
Hi, ladies and gentlemen.
Hello.
I'm not a romantic person.
All I want is efficiency.
I give orders and I want results.
Everything in between,
you'll have to do it yourselves.
Now I'm giving an order.
When you finish the wedding ceremony,
don't waste any time.
Go home and get busy.
Do you understand me?
Bring me your results next year
to that area under the tent,
like those young parents there.
And I'll tell you again next year
to be in love with each other for life.
Okay. Release the balloons.
The rings. And kiss.
Good. Now I pronounce you
husbands and wives.
It's done.
-Stay here.
-Where are you going?
Here you are.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
You can dream if you like
Or you can be a chicken
You're welcome to the ever-changing world
It's long before the midnight bell tolls
There are lots of glass slippers
On the way to tomorrow
Someone comes from a fairytale
Riding a white horse
Someone presents a red apple
Like a smiling devil
Someone's giving out balloons
Like a clown
Someone's reciting a poem like a poet
Let's spin around, you and I
Who's the next lucky one?
Who's going to meet their one true love?
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
I'd like to know the poll of love
How many people are happy, or sad,
Or uncertain?
Or curious about
The perfect amount of love?
Someone hides his surprise in a joke
Someone, romantically, his love shows
I give you chocolate
He gives her red roses
Who's to decide if it's perfect or not?
Mr. Mayor, happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Happy Valentine's Day.
It's Valentine's Day.
For you.
-What's next?
-The next one is my chocolate.
What happened to your helmet?
You fool.
Can't you see without your glasses?
Stop it.
I was told that if I don't wear them,
I'll scare the girls off.
Nonsense! You'll only look glazed!
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
I'd like to know the poll of love
How many people are happy, or sad
Or uncertain?
Believe it or not
To love at will is the perfect love
Someone is singing
Someone keeps silent
Someone forgets to show up
Someone is walking up to me
One minute you have nothing at all
Let us make a match for you.
But he bumped into me.
Everything is written in the stars
Please
Believe in love
Embrace your true love
Love
Yeah, okay.
Here...
Hurry up!
Yeah. Hurry up.
Have you seen some white things
passing us just now?
-Yeah. Hurry up!
-Okay.
"White things"?
They're newlyweds, not ghosts.
-Hello?
-Where are you, Xin?
There are more deliveries to make.
But my van's broken.
Well, long story.
Isn't my brother there?
Yes, he is.
But with his long face,
I don't want him to make deliveries.
I have a girlfriend too.
And I'm busy enough already.
Then why did you promise to come and help?
And you came at noon.
Haven't you slept enough?
Let me talk to him, Auntie.
She wants you.
Come on!
Yes?
Listen, it's not my day.
Don't create any more trouble for me.
Just do everything Auntie says.
Or you'll get out of my house.
You hear me?
How annoying.
Yeah, all right.
I'll tell her. Yeah. Bye.
Auntie, she wanted me
to stay here and mind the shop.
She said that you have a cute smile,
so you make deliveries.
I'm cute? I make deliveries?
Don't you know the ethics?
What?
I've been busy since early in the morning.
It's 3:00 in the afternoon.
When I'm ready to rest
and read the newspaper,
you want me to make deliveries?
Ang has trouble with his scooter.
And, look.
We have lots of customers.
Everyone is busy. I have to stay here.
And these are extra deliveries.
We want the money, don't we?
But I've made everything for you
in just two days.
Whose idea was it
to sell chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Mine.
And you want me to make deliveries?
Why are you watering the flowers at noon?
Stop pretending to work hard!
The god of love shoots an arrow
And it hits the heart of a young girl
Her heart's beating fast
When eating the candy made of love
The god of love shoots an arrow
And it hits the heart of a young boy
He falls in love and gives her flowers
It's never too late
For them to meet each other
We're lonely when we're growing up
But we grow up to rid ourselves
Of being lonely
Even Cupid needs love too
I wanna be held in your arms
Even if one is changeable and selfish
Only he knows how to love somebody
Even Cupid needs love too
I want you to indulge me
But Cupid is a god.
-Does a god need love?
-Of course.
A god may not need bread,
but he'll be lonely without love.
I'm glad that we're ordinary people.
We want love and bread too.
Or our chocolate wouldn't have
so many sales.
-Right?
-All right.
You deserve to have both love and bread.
Let's go for the last deliveries.
Damn! I really want to work overtime.
I'm sad with love
And even sadder without it
And I've tried hard to hang on to it
If in your search you come up empty-handed
Why don't you act crazy with me?
What will it be next?
Love always makes us nervous
We're born to be torn apart
It's the unforgettable part of love
Red light!
You did it on purpose.
No, I didn't.
It's green.
This is my stop.
It's mine too.
Will you break my heart?
No, I won't.
Taipei 101. Taipei 101.
It's Valentine's Day.
Give love a second chance.
Try harder, you lonely people.
Yeah. We haven't eaten anything today.
Because you bumped into my van.
Yeah. It was my fault.
Let's eat. What's the rush?
Do you have a date?
No. Do you?
Mind your own business.
Listen...
When my van is fixed,
you'll have to treat me.
To what? What do you want?
I want French.
These are mine,
so you owe me two.
Here.
What? Take them.
Oh, no.
I didn't ride it yesterday
and it won't start?
Damn you, Taipei!
Why am I too scared
to break my guitar?
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting for ten years
I've waited
And I'm still waiting
But it's not too late to give up now
If I give you up now
At least I can save the exhausted me
Love, I no longer believe in
Now I'm ready to leave
It's too late
It's too late
Zero the timer to stop our love forever
The tragedy will be no more
Lei!
The show will be on at 7:30
Give me a G
To our love, I'm singing
When the music's on, you'll know that
Everything's fine if you're with me
It's not too late
It's not too late
I'm on time, believe me
I haven't showed up on time
So I'll never be on time to leave
What do you want to eat?
It's your treat. You decide.
Me? Okay.
Let me order you...
A set meal of the best rib eye steak.
-As for me...
-Wait a second.
What? Do you like it?
Or do you prefer the Australian classic...
Any set meal costs more than NT$3,000.
Why are we here? Are you crazy?
It's all right. I have money.
These two set meals
and a bottle of red wine.
Wait. Excuse me.
Leave us the menu. We'll have coffee.
-Thank you.
-No, it's okay.
Go ahead and place our order. Thank you.
Sit down.
Da-he.
Do you know how much your order costs?
It's my weekly wage!
Come on. It's Valentine's Day.
And for you, it's worth it.
Don't worry. I have money.
You have money?
Then why don't you make our life easier?
I don't give a damn about this dinner.
Don't be mad.
In half an hour, I'll sing a song for you
and tell you a secret.
I've waited ten years for you.
Half an hour more won't kill me.
-Lei...
-Can your stupid secret
make my life a lot easier?
Don't worry, Lei.
I'll pay by credit card.
Credit card?
You've squandered away
my youth and my everything!
It'll be my credit card, not yours.
I'll pay from now on.
Stop crying.
They're looking at us.
What's the big deal?
You have the courage
to sing in front of them,
but you're afraid of me crying here?
In order to be with you,
to help you fulfill
your great music fantasy...
-Dream.
-It's a fantasy!
For your daydream
and my dream of having a family,
how much time and money have I spent?
What about you?
How much money have you earned?
You've never earned over NT$9,000
with selling instruments
and renting out the practice room.
-No, it's true.
-And you spent NT$5,000 for this shirt.
Are you Pink Panther?
I can't go on like this anymore.
But, Lei...
I've had some success.
I'm not waiting for the roses.
And I'm not waiting for 7:30.
I'll tell you my first secret now.
The international music award...
-To hell with you and your music.
-But I won first prize.
-I won!
-It's none of my business!
So...
So the home I want
is but an illusion created by myself.
So I've built a castle
to lock myself up in it.
If you love me...
If you really love me,
why didn't you get me out?
I can't believe our last deliveries
are to the same restaurant.
What a coincidence.
It's so unique and pretty.
How much is it?
I want one too.
"How much"? It's someone else's love.
What's wrong with you?
I know.
Valentine's Day will be over soon,
so you're sad, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
Lei, I know I'm late,
and I'm really sorry.
But every song I wrote,
I wrote it for you.
I have a song. I'll sing it now.
I'll get you out with it.
Please... Please don't.
You can't get me out
even if you kill yourself.
I know I'm not somebody.
But as long as I have a guitar,
I can write songs of my love to you
because I'm telling the world
with my music...
that I love you.
Do you understand, Lei?
I love you, you know?
Happy Valentine's Day, Lei.
Hi, Mr. Cockroach.
My love is not that great.
I've had enough after ten years.
-I'm breaking up with you.
-Let's get married, Lei.
-Let's get married.
-Go away!
-Lei!
-Lei?
Lei!
You know the girl, right?
And you like her.
I heard you call her Lei, not Miss.
Happy Valentine's Day.
I'll take care of the flowers.
-But it's not...
-Please.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Enjoy the meal.
Happy Valentine's Day.
I was speeding
But before the red light I stopped
How many heartbreaks
Before meeting true love?
Where do I start this long story?
If we've crossed the starting point
Can we talk about love on the way?
You're different
From those billions of people
You've shown up and it's destiny
We're destined to meet each other
I've lost one half of my soul
And I find it in your eyes
It is love
Hi, I'm Ang.
I'm 31.
And you?
I'm Xin.
We're two years apart.
I'm 29.
Lei!
Lei!
Before you finish counting the stars
Don't be distracted
You've got to ten
Why don't you keep counting?
Where do I start this long story?
If I no longer yearn for tomorrow,
Can we stop
While the night is still beautiful?
You've locked up the door
That should be open for me
You and I both have the key
Let's be together to do everything
I can't guarantee
How good your life will be
In a black hole, light will always be seen
Leaving me troubled
Fold a thin piece of paper countless times
And it'll be so thick
That it reaches the moon
Where do I start this long story?
You can't practice love
With an opportunity
We're partners
It takes two people
To sing a song beautifully
I bought this ring for you
because I knew you'd give it back to me.
What a ridiculous way to get a present.
I don't want to be a fool anymore.
You can have this ring, but I'm leaving.
What? Again?
Come on. You're hard to get.
You've said what you wanted to say
and sung what you wanted to sing.
What do I stay here for?
That was not what I wanted to sing.
Don't worry.
I don't blame you for being too romantic.
I blame myself for being too naive.
No one breaks up on Valentine's Day!
You can't do that!
Let's start over.
Forget everything that has happened.
Let's start over from the beginning.
This time, we walk together
into the restaurant.
We walk in together,
but there's no table for us.
So the manager takes us to the rooftop,
the VIP seats for lovers.
-What are you doing?
-Let's go to the rooftop.
-But it's someone's car.
-It's not mine anyway.
-Stop it!
-I don't have a car anyway.
But if you like this car,
I'll buy you one next month.
This time I won't sit across from you.
I'm sitting by your side.
Let's order two
of their cheapest set meals.
And look.
I've got you this night sky.
Look at it.
Then I say...
I've been in love with you for ten years.
Please let me keep on loving you.
And you say...
You say...
I've had enough after ten years.
I'm breaking up with you.
Forget it. Let's eat.
Here are the steaks. This is yours.
-And this is mine.
-Don't waste your time.
I'm determined to break up with you.
It's not a sudden whim.
I've thought about it for a long time.
You're so cruel.
You've thought about it for long
before breaking up with me.
But I'm not ready.
It's not fair.
Not fair at all.
Here's the deal. Let's break up.
But I think that love
is like a shuttle run.
The finish line is the starting point.
So breaking up is not the end,
but the beginning of our walking back.
So you have to walk with me
back to the start,
back to where we met.
What?
But I've been with you for ten years.
I'll spend another ten years
walking back with you?
I'll be over 40 years old.
Who wants a middle-aged woman?
Me. I do. I want you.
We'll have enough wisdom
to start walking together again.
But I'm not stupid.
I don't want to start over with you.
You can sleep on it. But, Lei...
Can I sing you the song
that won first prize?
I wrote it for you.
Sing it if you like.
Do, Mi, but no Sol...
-Just kidding. Not that one.
-Be gentle!
Wow, the way you said it...
So sexy.
You're crazy.
In my first ten years
I didn't play house with you
In my second ten years
I played the guitar without you
I used to imagine what you'd look like
And compare it to the sunshine
That I liked
But I'd never seen the sweetest summer
In my third ten years
You showed up like we'd already met
You love to smile
And I like to joke around with you
We walk everywhere side by side
You're afraid that
Love won't be with us forever
So let me change my vows
I'll love you for ten years more
When we're...
What?
When we're...
Come on!
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
Good evening.
We're The Wonderful Four.
We'll be responsible for warming up,
opening performance, closing,
ending performance and encores.
Happy Valentine's Day to all.
-It's Valentine's Day?
-For the opening performance...
-What? You didn't know?
-A friend of mine...
-Oh, no!
-...is proposing to his princess.
He's singing her the song
that won first prize.
Let's hear it for...
Mr. You Da-he!
Da-he?
Mr. You Da-he?
Mr. You Da-he...
Once.
Mr. You Da-he...
Twice.
Let her decide.
Mr. You Da-he?
Well, sorry then.
In my first ten years
I didn't play house with you
Hi, Miss.
Sell me those flowers, please?
But I have my own Valentine.
Pretty please?
Actions speak louder than words.
Call now to order a bouquet.
It's not too late.
-No, it's too late.
-No, it's not.
These two...
Which one tastes better?
They're both delicious.
Oh, no!
What the hell is this place?
It's so expensive.
I'll pay.
I'll pay.
Happy Valentine's Day.
-Thank you.
-I've come prepared.
-I'll take care of it for you.
-Okay.
Oh, God. NT$100 for a rose?
Come on. It's Valentine's Day.
Even if you don't have a boyfriend,
buy yourself one.
-How did you know that I don't...
-I've been there before.
Here. Be happy even when you're alone.
Understand?
NT$100.
How much longer shall we wait?
It's Valentine's Day.
Let's wait until you smile.
But I've been sitting here with you
for so long that I've forgotten how.
But they haven't come back.
I can't leave,
or my sister will kick me out.
Well, why don't you move in with me?
Let's close up.
-It's Valentine's Day, Mommy.
-Happy Valentine's Day, baby!
Come here!
I've missed you so much!
Be a good girl and say hello.
-Hi, Auntie.
-Hi, Olivia.
Let's call her "Mommy."
-Okay?
-But there are two mommies.
Then I'm Big Mommy
and she's Little Mommy.
I know there will be another
And yet another ten years
When you're too old to walk
My hands will still be holding yours
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
What do you think?
Well...
So everyone loves a silly love song.
What silly love song?
I was confessing my love to you.
It's a silly love song anyway.
When will you be awarded?
Next month. But there's only one ticket.
I won't go.
Come on!
I'm serious.
I've asked them to mail me
the prize money.
There's prize money?
Of course.
It's $30,000.
We can buy a house downtown
and a car, too.
And we can have a child.
But $30,000
is a little less than NT$1 million.
Or we can pay our debts.
That's more like it.
But how much do we owe the bank?
A little less than NT$1 million.
So we'll be back to the start?
Great!
Back to the start
and we can break up.
That's not what I meant!
All right, already!
...as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Thank you!
Thank you all!
Next up...
"Big World, Small World."
I hear the sunshine because you're warm
I hear the rainbow because of your smile
I was wrong to think that my ears
Couldn't hear the happiness
Then you showed up and my heart beat fast
And my voice has a pulse
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that you understand me
I hear the flowers blooming
Because you pick me
I hear the candy sweet
Because you kiss me
Your whispers in my ears
Stop me from being lonely
And prove that everyone
Will be heard eventually
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that you understand me
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that my dearest you
Loves me as well
Thank you!
Wish me luck
Yes!
XIN FLOWER SHOP
Basking in the sun
I can't help dancing around
The atmosphere today
Is different from every yesterday
Red, white and yellow
Are among the colors of blissful roses
But with so many choices
What will be my lucky color of love?
Red roses are popular.
-Old-fashioned.
-I prefer pink ones.
The yellow ones are eye-catching.
-The blue ones are rare.
-Hey!
What about love?
When do lovers celebrate their love?
It's today!
When do roses blossom out?
It's today!
If as love's beginning
We're to pick a day
Why don't we choose today?
It's Valentine's Day
It's Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is a good day
Here you are.
Love is before everything else
Countless people in the world
Want to meet their eternal love
If I have the chance
To reach into the box of love
The first candy I get
How will it taste?
Bitter?
Spicy?
Sour?
Sweet?
There are three magical words today
That everyone should hear
And they're "I love you"
I think we'll just get some carnations.
My old lover is
the mother of my five kids.
It's not the season of carnations.
-So there's no carnation?
-No.
Great!
So all shall be well
and rich Jack shall have Jill.
Not rich Jack.
It's every Jack.
Don't be so naive.
You need money to raise a family.
But family is family.
It has nothing to do with lovers.
Yes, it has.
Don't you need money to buy roses?
Yes, of course! It's...
It doesn't matter if it's love or money.
It's Valentine's Day
and we should focus on love.
But today, we should--
Today, you should have
the most beautiful rose.
Since I was born
I've been preparing for love
But my Mr. Right is late
He hasn't shown up yet
But each year on this day
Whether it rains or snows
I still believe in love
I love you
Sing it.
Yeah. I love you.
I love you
I love you
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
It's Valentine's Day
Get ready for some adventures
It's Valentine's Day
My heart is full of nice feelings
It's Valentine's Day
I deserve a rose
It's Valentine's Day
I deserve the most beautiful love
Yeah!
LEI
It's your morning call.
Wake up.
Hello?
Hi, get up.
Go wash your face.
I need to hear the water running.
Come on.
But you asked me to wake you up.
Go wash your face.
Are you happy now?
Have you really washed your face?
Oh, dear!
Happy?
-Are you awake?
-Yes, I am.
Good morning.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Don't say good morning on Valentine's Day.
Just say... "I love you."
I love...
you.
Do I?
What are you talking about?
Thank you, Ang.
Yeah. I've gotta go.
It's the damned Valentine's Day.
Give me a discount for the chocolate
I've ordered,
and I'll introduce you
to a pretty girlfriend of mine.
LEI
I was expecting you to say...
"I love you too."
The weather is fine
And the sun is shining
The skylines are stacking up
Not many people look up
The sky in the distance
Looks like the sea
Clouds are waves running in it
You'll never understand it
A whale is singing a song at 52Hz
With no one listening to him
He dives in the sky
No one loves him or keeps him company
The whale is in love with a girl on land
He comes on shore and shouts out his love
The girl hears him but can't feel him
She can't feel him
I look up into the sky
And down upon the city
I'm alone, swimming in a sea of people
Without a sound
Without a sound
What are you looking at?
Take those things downstairs for packing.
Without a sound
The weather is fine
And the sun is shining
I see myself as a cat
Going into a street corner unknown
There's not much space for love
Who can give me
Empty arms to stay in?
Don't leave my heart in the cold
Like a flea
Jumping, and jumping
And jumping
XIN FLOWER SHOP
Yeah, I'm coming!
I'm coming! What's the rush for?
Hello? It's Xin.
Nothing. Yes?
Yes. NT$2,800.
Yeah, no problem.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Bye-bye.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Every year on this day,
I have to watch all the lovers
hugging and kissing in front of me.
I don't like it.
Xin, sing!
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day, Xin.
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Why do I have to be careful
Not to be heartbroken
Whenever I'm ready to love?
It stings your finger a little
And you'll remember better who I am
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Or am I a sensitive cat
Smiling with thorns at some man?
Am I chicken? Or am I too picky?
Or simply because I'm not pretty?
You think every male dog is in heat today?
Auntie, why are you dressed like this?
Because it's Valentine's Day.
Do you have a date?
What if suddenly I have one?
A rose with thorns, you'll love it dearly
A fish with bones
A cat will eat it carefully
You'll hurt a girl with thorns
If you leave her alone
I don't have a lover.
How can I get hurt?
You're hurt without love.
Never mind. Let's raise the prices today.
I wanna meet someone
An atheist who talks about eternity
And he can rid the roses of thorns
Get rid of them like nothing is wrong
I wanna meet someone
Who acts carefully but loves passionately
And he'll throw his arms around me
The cat with thorns that lives in me
Who grows these beautiful roses
With thorns?
Why do I always embrace love
With bare hands
But try not to let my heart break?
Isn't that you?
Isn't that me?
Who grew those beautiful roses
With thorns?
Xin, sing!
-Happy Valentine's Day!
-You're childish.
What a cliché!
Yeah, what's the address?
Am I the one to wake love up?
Let me sleep for half an hour more.
When I wake up,
I'll tell you my whole dream.
I thought it was a talent to dream
But I never thought that even at night
You're daydreaming
A dream
A beautiful dream, some vanity
A new dress displayed in the window
A romantic candlelit dinner
A pair of shoes
That I've been longing for
A sightseeing trip
A bouquet of red roses on Valentine's Day
Taxes and fines, utility bills
A wedding of a girl's dream
A dog and an instrument that a boy wants
Plus a car, a house, a child
Adding all of these up
Is the maintenance expense for our love
TAIPEI GOVERNMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT
I don't have to give up much
For loving you
Except for all I've got
I haven't gained much from loving you
Besides an overdraft
I realize the biggest lie about love
Is that love can conquer anything
Yes, the future you're talking about
Is beautiful
But when the bills come
All the romance will be killed
Should I do it? Forget it
Ask yourself and answer it
Have you done that a lot?
Why have you given up
The things you want?
Why are you always bargaining
With yourself?
You think twice before buying everything
Is it the kind of life you want?
Give up, give up, give up
Love is not charity work
If you can't afford it, just give up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set a stop-loss point for love
There's no such thing as a free lunch
All I want is a home for my love.
-Has he proposed?
-Do you wanna marry him?
-Have you thought about the future?
-Wake up!
You're losing the battle.
Life will be harder with kids.
But I...
Give up, give up, give up
Love is not charity work
If you can't afford it, just give up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set a stop-loss point for love
There's no such thing as a free lunch
Our love is
A bad debt
You pay everything on credit
And I hesitate to buy anything
You're profuse with expectations
Wasting my youth away
On monthly installments
In exchange for what you take for granted
I'm alone by the lamp at night
The wind's blowing in my face
You're as naive as you can be
What a foolish girl!
The breeze is laughing at you
Because you've fallen into his trap
Without knowing
Am I the one to wake love up?
A beautiful dream is a dream after all
Can't believe I've expected your song
And I've even got myself a usurious loan
Yes, love is a usurious loan
But you have to pay it all
I'm getting chicken soon
Because the future keeps coming closer
While you're getting bolder and bolder
Am I the one to wake love up?
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up

Hi, handsome!
He says, "Let there be light"
And I see you in the light
You and I are different, but alike
We're the lights in the mirror
From the same source
I say, "Let us have love"
And I see my weakness in love
I give half of me for half of you
We're in the mirror wearing the same ring
Their prejudice hurts our feelings
So let's look at each other to decide
If we're pretty
We're both children of the light
From afar
You're inside the mirror and I'm outside
You're looking at me like I'm at you
We're one, destined to be together
You're inside the mirror and I'm outside
We're different forms of the same light
We were both born to experience love
To experience love
He says, "Let there be light"
I see all sorts of forms in the light
We have our different longings
We're both in the mirror
We're different, but alike
Excuse me...
But alike
Are you going to Taipei City's
joint wedding ceremony?
Come on.
Taipei City's joint wedding ceremony?
You've ruined a romantic wedding.
Yeah.
We need flowers.
Stop the car!
Give us a minute.
Come on, baby.
Let's buy some flowers.
Hurry up! I'll wait for you.
It's okay.
You can leave if you want.
But I can't leave.
You haven't paid me.
Wow, plenty of them!
They're beautiful!
Come on, let's go!
Xin, sing!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Aren't you ever tired of this game?
No, I'm not.
-Those happily in love should sing.
-Come in. Sorry.
A female dog in heat
can't find a male... one.
I'm sorry.
I didn't notice that you're...
-I meant her.
-No, it's okay.
-I didn't mean it. No offense.
-Yes, I know.
-I think that love has...
-I know.
-...nothing to do with age or gender.
-I feel you!
I feel you.
You're the first man...
Woman...
That...
Coffee? Or tea?
Coffee! I'll make some.
Excuse me. A bridal bouquet?
It's all right. We'll look around.
-I want the red ones.
-Yeah, red ones.
The champagne ones suit you better.
Are you taking part in the joint wedding?
Their theme this year...
White dresses, white suits
and red rose bouquets.
So I suggest champagne roses for you.
They're gentle, but eye-catching.
But we don't want to attract attention.
Why do you get married if you don't?
Hey, don't worry.
We're young,
and we deserve the unique love
that we want.
What do you think?
Wow, it's beautiful!
-Yeah, you're talented.
-Thank you.
-Are you the owner, ma'am?
-Yeah.
But don't call me "ma'am."
It makes me seem old.
I've just celebrated my 25th birthday.
What about the... "coffee or tea?"
That's my auntie.
She's 52 years old.
Thank you.
Hi, Auntie.
Have you seen my niece?
She's there, isn't she?
No, I want my 33-year-old niece,
not the 25-year-old one.
Oh, well...
-The taxi's waiting.
-Yeah, the taxi's waiting.
How much?
Two-five.
I'm not interested in your age at all.
How much is it?
NT$2,500.
Thanks, sis.
-Thank you.
-Yeah, by the way...
-I'm 31 and she's 32.
-Add some.
-I'm 51 and she's...
-52.
But we don't care how old we are
because we have each other...
And love!
I've never seen
such an annoying gay couple.
Come on. Here.
Maybe they left
some saliva of happiness in it.
Don't miss the opportunity.
Drink it.
Oh, dear!
You're so depressed
that you've finished the black coffee.
Don't make me cry.
We're the magpies of love
The magpies that make the bridge of love
When we lift others higher
Our wings become heavier
Hey! Get yourself together.
There are over 6 billion people
in the world.
At least half of them are male.
Forget those who are too old,
too young or too stupid.
There are still millions.
So you're very likely to mate.
To wed!
Yeah, to wed.
To be frank,
you don't look like you're 33.
You're 32 at most.
All right. Tell me...
What is your favorite dish?
My favorite dish?
But we're talking about men.
You'll meet your true love
Sooner than later
It makes no sense
That you don't have one
Don't worry
I'll get one for you
I'll never let you down
How about that yuppie with a mustache?
With long hair and a free personality?
No, he's about the age of my father
And his mustache tickles me
when he kisses me.
-Failed.
-Kisses you?
You've already thought of that?
You don't understand.
The mustache is useful in flirting.
No.
He smokes and his mouth stinks.
What about that handsome young man?
With a cute butt and an eye-catching look?
No, I don't like his hairstyle
He looks like a snob
Harassing girls like a fly. Failed.
Like a fly?
Then you're the dog shit.
No, I'm a flower.
A beautiful rose.
How about a strong driver?
He has strong arms for his lover
You can get a sense of security from him
Oh, my!
Open your eyes!
Haven't you seen
that huge tummy of his?
From this angle, he looks like...
A tadpole!
Disgusting!
Hey, careful.
No, I'm fine.
I'm totally fine.
Yeah, you're late for school. Go on!
Bye-bye!
Hey, wake up!
He's just a little boy.
And you're way over 30.
No, I'm 33!
I'm not way over!
-It makes no difference.
-Yes, it makes a lot of difference.
So, you're way over 50?
Don't you dare say that again!
No...
Girls always trouble themselves with love
We're picky before we say yes
But we're paranoid after it
Always remembering who makes us say yes
As long as you try harder
To tolerate
My self-indulgence and paranoia
I'll ignore it
When you become bald or fat
Come to me, my Mr. Right
I'll definitely hold you tight
Despite all the difficulties
I'll keep on
Looking for love
-Who are you?
-You cockroach!
Why did you fly in here to scare us?
No, I walked through the front door.
-What flying cockroach?
-I'm afraid of cockroaches!
-I'm not a cockroach.
-What do you want?
I want flowers. I'm a customer.
Where are your manners?
Why are you shouting?
Hey?
What flowers do you want?
You're not happy today.
I guess you don't have a lover.
You're disgusting!
You're a failure!
At least a flying cockroach
is indigenous to Taiwan.
-Why am I a failure?
-Give it back!
You're so humble.
A pink cockroach is a world heritage.
What do you want? Come on!
We're busy.
But she's in pink too.
None of your business!
All right! It's Valentine's Day.
Don't be such a spoilsport.
Can't I have a look around?
Hey!
You can look, but you can't touch.
These! I want them!
Red roses symbolize my passion.
It's a very important day for me.
I'm buying a promise for life.
Red roses of love.
Ninety-nine of them.
And...
I'm paying by credit card.
He really can play it.
Give me a break.
I sell guitars. Of course I can play it.
And I'm good at it.
Glad you don't sell pesticide.
You'll be in big trouble
if you're good at drinking it.
Forget it. A cockroach
will never understand me.
Give us five minutes
to wrap your flowers up.
Yeah, five minutes.
Enough for me to sing a song.
-Background music!
-That guitar is for display only.
One of the strings is missing.
If you really know how to play it,
you don't care how many strings it has.
Lights!
What lights?
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Something's missing in my love song
But it's sweet as well
Do, Mi, but no Sol
That is me
I often forget her bidding
Or remember her birthday wrong
I have no house, only a broken scooter
Which is impossible to start
She says I'm good at being hungry
And I'm talented
In sleeping and daydreaming
I enjoy singing songs to myself
But nobody understands my jokes
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
At least I have Do, Re, Mi, Fa,
But no Sol
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
That is me
We've been together for ten years.
I've held her hands 12,542 times.
You've even counted them?
Of course not.
It's a sweet euphuism.
My love is the most special note
in the world.
I can play a happy melody
even if one string's missing.
I'll make
The most important promise tonight
So, darling, please answer me
With "Yes, I do"
Yes, I do
You mean you're proposing to her?
Respond to my love
How moving!
I've never seen a cockroach courting.
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Do, Mi, but no Sol
Something's missing in my chords
But I'm accompanied by love
Please marry me
Please marry me
I'll sing you my love song
Through all eternity
I'll say that you've lost weight
When you're on a diet
I'll cook for you when you're sick
Lift the toilet seat before
And wash your hands after
Put your clothes away
And your dirty socks in the laundry
Give your wife all your salary
I'm getting married,
not being sent to jail.
Hey, young man...
I'm sharing my experience with you.
Hey, Auntie.
I know you're a middle-ager,
but I don't think you have the experience.
We're romantically in love.
Please...
I know I'm lazy and always asleep
And I don't have a lot of money
To squander
But I'll hold your hand
For the rest of my life
Although I don't know how long it'll last
There's a string missing in my guitar
But only it can play your song
Do, Mi, but no Sol
I'm whispering my love
That is me
My love will make you my queen
I'll try my best to make you happy
I'll make
The most important promise tonight
So, darling, please answer me
With "Yes, I do"
Yes, I do
Respond to my love
Yes, I do!
Do, Mi, but no Sol
But you'll always have my love
I'm not perfect
So I'll cling to you always
Please have faith in me
I'll root for you
Let's glorify love with our life
Through all eternity
Here's the bill, sir
It's NT$9,999
Damn!
I want red roses,
but why are they so expensive?
It's not expensive if it's for life.
Yeah, never mind.
I'm rich anyway.
So, at 7:00 this evening,
send them to this restaurant.
What? Why didn't you say so?
I didn't have to wrap them now.
But I was busy singing.
Be on time.
God!
How could someone fall in love with him?
Hey!
Come on!
It's Valentine's Day.
Wish us happiness, will you?
Yeah, wish you happiness.
Damn! No way!
Why is it raining on Valentine's Day?
But...
The sun's still shining.
The rain will stop soon.
It's only a shower.
Yeah.
It's both sunny and raining.
How beautiful! Just like my love for her.
So romantic!
On Valentine's Day,
the weather is romantic too.
Damn! What the hell?
But you just said
the weather is romantic.
Fine. Never mind.
I've got to go.
Hey!
You kept saying that you love her,
but I'm wondering...
Does she love you?
Of course!
I think that
his parents are both optimistic.
A big umbrella for the stereo!
Here it is!
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
Why is it sunny and raining
At the same time?
Is it a hint?
How can the two parallels
Meet at some point?
It's an inharmonic beauty
Sunshine dyes the rain golden
Just like you put a rainbow in my eyes
Love is both sunny and raining
You think it foolish to walk in the rain
Love is both sunny and raining
But I'm only smart enough to love you
Why is it sunny and raining
At the same time?
Is it a hint?
The two parallels meet again
What a contradiction
The rain rids the sun of its glory
Just as you make a girl
Afraid of the future
Love is a multiple choice question
Whether it's right or wrong
You think it a good thing
Love is a multiple choice question
But is it good to you? Or to me?
Above the clouds, it's forever sunny
During the monsoon, it's endlessly cloudy
If we have to choose a place
To settle down
Will it be my optimism?
Or my pessimism?
Love is both sunny and raining
It makes the strange familiarity
And familiar strangeness
Intertwine so beautifully
But it's illogical for the dark cloud
To fall in love with the blue sky
But when the blue sky
Falls in love with the dark cloud
It'll stop raining soon
It stopped raining.
Come on, the rain stopped.
The sun and the rain
don't belong together.
Love is powerful indeed.
Hey, Lei!
Have you checked the remote for balloons?
Yeah, it's good!
Lei?
What?
They didn't register, but they're here.
I'm sorry,
but I can't allow you to join them.
Why not?
All we want is to be a part of it.
It's not about joining or not.
This is a legal wedding ceremony.
They'll be husbands and wives by law.
But our law hasn't approved your...
We're not here for your approval.
We want everyone's blessing.
It was not easy for us to find each other.
Please give us your blessing.
I guess...
When you're in love with your boyfriend,
you'd want others' blessings too, right?
Yeah. Do you have a boyfriend?
What does that have to do with this?
I'm sorry.
You can't register.
But I'll put you
in the middle of the first row
for you to receive the greatest blessing.
Is that good enough?
Hello? Yes, sir.
Everything's okay,
but I need to confirm it.
Yeah. In an hour?
Okay. Yeah, all right.
Thank you!
Yeah. Good.
Bye.
A bit bitter and a bit sweet
Is that the taste of love?
When she's the wind
In love with the summer
I'm the ocean disturbed by her in June
Drinking seawater makes me thirsty
I'm waiting with tears, sweet and bitter
Salty?
You've added seawater and tears
to the chocolate.
Who is the girl?
Is she in your imagination?
I've told you.
She's the wind in love with the summer.
So she doesn't even know that
you love her?
If she's the June wind
In love with the summer
You should be the anemoscope
That blesses her
I'm a whale searching for
What the wind wants in the sea
But her love is so picky
You can make a nice dough
With the best butter
Salt, sugar, flour and milk
But you can't force
The taste buds of love
We don't have much time
to create your love today.
Come and help
with the mass production of love.
Hey, Ang...
I used to be exactly like you
when I was young.
Every morning when I woke up,
I wanted to make
the best bread for my wife.
But I don't have a wife.
How can I be like you?
Then she fell ill and died.
Life was difficult for a few years.
The bread I made was hard as rock.
It didn't taste bad,
but it had no taste at all.
Then one day when I was making bread,
I thought of her smile.
She smiled at me
and I smiled at her.
She kept smiling at me
and I kept smiling at her.
And you know what?
The bread I made that day
tasted better than any other bread.
I used the same recipe,
but it tasted really good.
-Aren't you surprised?
-No. The bread in cartoons can even sing.
I'm remembering my wife.
What are you talking about?
How many loaves of bread have you made?
Always with the same smile on your mind?
Sometimes...
Sometimes, someone else would smile at me.
Love is sweet and so is yearning.
But too much love or yearning
makes your heart heavy.
Yeah, I know.
Make it a little more bitter.
But it's difficult to give up
the unrequited love
and wish them happiness.
If she's the June wind
In love with the summer
Just wish her happiness sincerely.
It's weird.
I've never been in love,
but why do I feel lovelorn?
A bit bitter and a bit sweet
Is that the taste of love?
I learn how to play the guitar
With the hands that make desserts
Hopefully the music that I write
Sounds like summer too
And when she hears my song
She'd feel happy also
Maybe by the end of this summer
She'll know my hesitation
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
To dream or to face reality
It's a dilemma she's in
She can have love
But she can't afford it
Before your lover says "I do"
You have to ask her first
He's waiting for the right time
To make a promise
But he waits
Until he has enough savings
He always has two helmets with him
Waiting for a possibility
But in the heavy traffic
Who will wait
For a whale swimming slowly?
She's afraid that the roses
Might be out of bloom soon
Like a cat, careful and cautious
But modern people want love
And curse it at the same time
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that I'm not good enough
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid
That I won't be naive forever
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that
There's no Mr. Right for me
My love comes and goes
But I'm afraid that
She doesn't mean she and I
When she says "us"
So what's wrong, love?
You come to us
But we're scared with you
So what's wrong, love?
You leave us
But we're lonely without you
To be happy is all we want
To be approved is all we need
The gate of love
We can neither get in nor out of it
Love comes and goes
It comes and goes again
So what's wrong, love?
You come to us
But we're scared with you
So what's wrong, love?
You leave us
But we're lonely without you
To be happy is all we want
To be approved is all we need
The gate of love
We can neither get in nor out of it
Love comes and goes
It comes and goes again
Hey!
Hey!
Would you please rehearse my song?
It's an important evening for me.
But, Da-he,
we're performing at 7:30,
while in your text to us, you said 6:30?
But I've made a reservation.
Give us a break.
No one sings in a restaurant at 6:30.
You can propose to her
after you finish dinner.
Yeah. But it's not how I want it to be.
We'll do it at 7:30.
Listen, if you propose to her at 6:30,
it's awkward.
But if you do it at 7:30,
it's great!
-7:30.
-What's the difference?
Forget it.
I don't understand you musicians' logic.
7:30 it is.
-Hey! I don't need it.
-You've memorized the lyrics?
Of course! I wrote them.
Don't forget to ask me to sing on stage.
You're not the one who wrote them.
Don't steal my song again.
And I'll bring my own guitar.
Keep that in mind.
Hey!
I'm proposing, not fighting a battle.
I need something romantic.
MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL
What the hell?
Hey! What are you doing?
Do me a favor.
My feet... Pull my feet.
-I can't get out.
-What the hell? Get down!
You didn't watch where you were going.
Didn't you see my van?
You bumped into it without braking.
-But I was going straight.
-Excuse me!
It's not much to look at.
Get out of here! Let us deal with it.
Stop taking photos, okay? Please.
Thanks a lot.
-What are you going to do?
-What? Me?
You drove a van and I rode a scooter.
Whose fault was it?
It was your fault.
You bumped into my van.
You have to take the responsibility.
You'll pay to get my van fixed.
-What?
-Yes, you will. And...
I can't make deliveries
before my van is fixed.
You're going to make up for it.
What? What are you looking at?
Do you want me to call the police?
Yeah, call them.
Let them decide who's right or wrong.
You were sitting in the van
without a scratch
while I flew away
when you bumped into me.
And you don't wanna know if I'm fine.
You look pretty, but you're so cruel.
Well... Do I really look pretty?
Have you only heard what you wanna hear?
Flower shop...
XIN FLOWER SHOP
So you make deliveries too.
Are you okay?
I think I'm fine.
You're delivering others' love too?
Yeah, everything's fine.
But I'm not!
-Are you happy?
-Yes!
-Are you blessed?
-Yes!
-Are you in love?
-Yes!
Good. Ladies and gentlemen,
the mayor is here.
We're honored to have the mayor
for our joint wedding ceremony.
"May every Jack have his Jill."
A round of applause!
Let's hear it for
the Taipei City mayor, Mr. Ko Wen-Je.
He's here to marry you all.
Please, Mr. Mayor.
Hi, ladies and gentlemen.
Hello.
I'm not a romantic person.
All I want is efficiency.
I give orders and I want results.
Everything in between,
you'll have to do it yourselves.
Now I'm giving an order.
When you finish the wedding ceremony,
don't waste any time.
Go home and get busy.
Do you understand me?
Bring me your results next year
to that area under the tent,
like those young parents there.
And I'll tell you again next year
to be in love with each other for life.
Okay. Release the balloons.
The rings. And kiss.
Good. Now I pronounce you
husbands and wives.
It's done.
-Stay here.
-Where are you going?
Here you are.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
You can dream if you like
Or you can be a chicken
You're welcome to the ever-changing world
It's long before the midnight bell tolls
There are lots of glass slippers
On the way to tomorrow
Someone comes from a fairytale
Riding a white horse
Someone presents a red apple
Like a smiling devil
Someone's giving out balloons
Like a clown
Someone's reciting a poem like a poet
Let's spin around, you and I
Who's the next lucky one?
Who's going to meet their one true love?
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
I'd like to know the poll of love
How many people are happy, or sad,
Or uncertain?
Or curious about
The perfect amount of love?
Someone hides his surprise in a joke
Someone, romantically, his love shows
I give you chocolate
He gives her red roses
Who's to decide if it's perfect or not?
Mr. Mayor, happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Happy Valentine's Day.
It's Valentine's Day.
For you.
-What's next?
-The next one is my chocolate.
What happened to your helmet?
You fool.
Can't you see without your glasses?
Stop it.
I was told that if I don't wear them,
I'll scare the girls off.
Nonsense! You'll only look glazed!
Love can be creative
Drawing auroras and rainbows
Love can take you up and down
Like a roller coaster
I'd like to know the poll of love
How many people are happy, or sad
Or uncertain?
Believe it or not
To love at will is the perfect love
Someone is singing
Someone keeps silent
Someone forgets to show up
Someone is walking up to me
One minute you have nothing at all
Let us make a match for you.
But he bumped into me.
Everything is written in the stars
Please
Believe in love
Embrace your true love
Love
Yeah, okay.
Here...
Hurry up!
Yeah. Hurry up.
Have you seen some white things
passing us just now?
-Yeah. Hurry up!
-Okay.
"White things"?
They're newlyweds, not ghosts.
-Hello?
-Where are you, Xin?
There are more deliveries to make.
But my van's broken.
Well, long story.
Isn't my brother there?
Yes, he is.
But with his long face,
I don't want him to make deliveries.
I have a girlfriend too.
And I'm busy enough already.
Then why did you promise to come and help?
And you came at noon.
Haven't you slept enough?
Let me talk to him, Auntie.
She wants you.
Come on!
Yes?
Listen, it's not my day.
Don't create any more trouble for me.
Just do everything Auntie says.
Or you'll get out of my house.
You hear me?
How annoying.
Yeah, all right.
I'll tell her. Yeah. Bye.
Auntie, she wanted me
to stay here and mind the shop.
She said that you have a cute smile,
so you make deliveries.
I'm cute? I make deliveries?
Don't you know the ethics?
What?
I've been busy since early in the morning.
It's 3:00 in the afternoon.
When I'm ready to rest
and read the newspaper,
you want me to make deliveries?
Ang has trouble with his scooter.
And, look.
We have lots of customers.
Everyone is busy. I have to stay here.
And these are extra deliveries.
We want the money, don't we?
But I've made everything for you
in just two days.
Whose idea was it
to sell chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Mine.
And you want me to make deliveries?
Why are you watering the flowers at noon?
Stop pretending to work hard!
The god of love shoots an arrow
And it hits the heart of a young girl
Her heart's beating fast
When eating the candy made of love
The god of love shoots an arrow
And it hits the heart of a young boy
He falls in love and gives her flowers
It's never too late
For them to meet each other
We're lonely when we're growing up
But we grow up to rid ourselves
Of being lonely
Even Cupid needs love too
I wanna be held in your arms
Even if one is changeable and selfish
Only he knows how to love somebody
Even Cupid needs love too
I want you to indulge me
But Cupid is a god.
-Does a god need love?
-Of course.
A god may not need bread,
but he'll be lonely without love.
I'm glad that we're ordinary people.
We want love and bread too.
Or our chocolate wouldn't have
so many sales.
-Right?
-All right.
You deserve to have both love and bread.
Let's go for the last deliveries.
Damn! I really want to work overtime.
I'm sad with love
And even sadder without it
And I've tried hard to hang on to it
If in your search you come up empty-handed
Why don't you act crazy with me?
What will it be next?
Love always makes us nervous
We're born to be torn apart
It's the unforgettable part of love
Red light!
You did it on purpose.
No, I didn't.
It's green.
This is my stop.
It's mine too.
Will you break my heart?
No, I won't.
Taipei 101. Taipei 101.
It's Valentine's Day.
Give love a second chance.
Try harder, you lonely people.
Yeah. We haven't eaten anything today.
Because you bumped into my van.
Yeah. It was my fault.
Let's eat. What's the rush?
Do you have a date?
No. Do you?
Mind your own business.
Listen...
When my van is fixed,
you'll have to treat me.
To what? What do you want?
I want French.
These are mine,
so you owe me two.
Here.
What? Take them.
Oh, no.
I didn't ride it yesterday
and it won't start?
Damn you, Taipei!
Why am I too scared
to break my guitar?
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting for ten years
I've waited
And I'm still waiting
But it's not too late to give up now
If I give you up now
At least I can save the exhausted me
Love, I no longer believe in
Now I'm ready to leave
It's too late
It's too late
Zero the timer to stop our love forever
The tragedy will be no more
Lei!
The show will be on at 7:30
Give me a G
To our love, I'm singing
When the music's on, you'll know that
Everything's fine if you're with me
It's not too late
It's not too late
I'm on time, believe me
I haven't showed up on time
So I'll never be on time to leave
What do you want to eat?
It's your treat. You decide.
Me? Okay.
Let me order you...
A set meal of the best rib eye steak.
-As for me...
-Wait a second.
What? Do you like it?
Or do you prefer the Australian classic...
Any set meal costs more than NT$3,000.
Why are we here? Are you crazy?
It's all right. I have money.
These two set meals
and a bottle of red wine.
Wait. Excuse me.
Leave us the menu. We'll have coffee.
-Thank you.
-No, it's okay.
Go ahead and place our order. Thank you.
Sit down.
Da-he.
Do you know how much your order costs?
It's my weekly wage!
Come on. It's Valentine's Day.
And for you, it's worth it.
Don't worry. I have money.
You have money?
Then why don't you make our life easier?
I don't give a damn about this dinner.
Don't be mad.
In half an hour, I'll sing a song for you
and tell you a secret.
I've waited ten years for you.
Half an hour more won't kill me.
-Lei...
-Can your stupid secret
make my life a lot easier?
Don't worry, Lei.
I'll pay by credit card.
Credit card?
You've squandered away
my youth and my everything!
It'll be my credit card, not yours.
I'll pay from now on.
Stop crying.
They're looking at us.
What's the big deal?
You have the courage
to sing in front of them,
but you're afraid of me crying here?
In order to be with you,
to help you fulfill
your great music fantasy...
-Dream.
-It's a fantasy!
For your daydream
and my dream of having a family,
how much time and money have I spent?
What about you?
How much money have you earned?
You've never earned over NT$9,000
with selling instruments
and renting out the practice room.
-No, it's true.
-And you spent NT$5,000 for this shirt.
Are you Pink Panther?
I can't go on like this anymore.
But, Lei...
I've had some success.
I'm not waiting for the roses.
And I'm not waiting for 7:30.
I'll tell you my first secret now.
The international music award...
-To hell with you and your music.
-But I won first prize.
-I won!
-It's none of my business!
So...
So the home I want
is but an illusion created by myself.
So I've built a castle
to lock myself up in it.
If you love me...
If you really love me,
why didn't you get me out?
I can't believe our last deliveries
are to the same restaurant.
What a coincidence.
It's so unique and pretty.
How much is it?
I want one too.
"How much"? It's someone else's love.
What's wrong with you?
I know.
Valentine's Day will be over soon,
so you're sad, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
Lei, I know I'm late,
and I'm really sorry.
But every song I wrote,
I wrote it for you.
I have a song. I'll sing it now.
I'll get you out with it.
Please... Please don't.
You can't get me out
even if you kill yourself.
I know I'm not somebody.
But as long as I have a guitar,
I can write songs of my love to you
because I'm telling the world
with my music...
that I love you.
Do you understand, Lei?
I love you, you know?
Happy Valentine's Day, Lei.
Hi, Mr. Cockroach.
My love is not that great.
I've had enough after ten years.
-I'm breaking up with you.
-Let's get married, Lei.
-Let's get married.
-Go away!
-Lei!
-Lei?
Lei!
You know the girl, right?
And you like her.
I heard you call her Lei, not Miss.
Happy Valentine's Day.
I'll take care of the flowers.
-But it's not...
-Please.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Enjoy the meal.
Happy Valentine's Day.
I was speeding
But before the red light I stopped
How many heartbreaks
Before meeting true love?
Where do I start this long story?
If we've crossed the starting point
Can we talk about love on the way?
You're different
From those billions of people
You've shown up and it's destiny
We're destined to meet each other
I've lost one half of my soul
And I find it in your eyes
It is love
Hi, I'm Ang.
I'm 31.
And you?
I'm Xin.
We're two years apart.
I'm 29.
Lei!
Lei!
Before you finish counting the stars
Don't be distracted
You've got to ten
Why don't you keep counting?
Where do I start this long story?
If I no longer yearn for tomorrow,
Can we stop
While the night is still beautiful?
You've locked up the door
That should be open for me
You and I both have the key
Let's be together to do everything
I can't guarantee
How good your life will be
In a black hole, light will always be seen
Leaving me troubled
Fold a thin piece of paper countless times
And it'll be so thick
That it reaches the moon
Where do I start this long story?
You can't practice love
With an opportunity
We're partners
It takes two people
To sing a song beautifully
I bought this ring for you
because I knew you'd give it back to me.
What a ridiculous way to get a present.
I don't want to be a fool anymore.
You can have this ring, but I'm leaving.
What? Again?
Come on. You're hard to get.
You've said what you wanted to say
and sung what you wanted to sing.
What do I stay here for?
That was not what I wanted to sing.
Don't worry.
I don't blame you for being too romantic.
I blame myself for being too naive.
No one breaks up on Valentine's Day!
You can't do that!
Let's start over.
Forget everything that has happened.
Let's start over from the beginning.
This time, we walk together
into the restaurant.
We walk in together,
but there's no table for us.
So the manager takes us to the rooftop,
the VIP seats for lovers.
-What are you doing?
-Let's go to the rooftop.
-But it's someone's car.
-It's not mine anyway.
-Stop it!
-I don't have a car anyway.
But if you like this car,
I'll buy you one next month.
This time I won't sit across from you.
I'm sitting by your side.
Let's order two
of their cheapest set meals.
And look.
I've got you this night sky.
Look at it.
Then I say...
I've been in love with you for ten years.
Please let me keep on loving you.
And you say...
You say...
I've had enough after ten years.
I'm breaking up with you.
Forget it. Let's eat.
Here are the steaks. This is yours.
-And this is mine.
-Don't waste your time.
I'm determined to break up with you.
It's not a sudden whim.
I've thought about it for a long time.
You're so cruel.
You've thought about it for long
before breaking up with me.
But I'm not ready.
It's not fair.
Not fair at all.
Here's the deal. Let's break up.
But I think that love
is like a shuttle run.
The finish line is the starting point.
So breaking up is not the end,
but the beginning of our walking back.
So you have to walk with me
back to the start,
back to where we met.
What?
But I've been with you for ten years.
I'll spend another ten years
walking back with you?
I'll be over 40 years old.
Who wants a middle-aged woman?
Me. I do. I want you.
We'll have enough wisdom
to start walking together again.
But I'm not stupid.
I don't want to start over with you.
You can sleep on it. But, Lei...
Can I sing you the song
that won first prize?
I wrote it for you.
Sing it if you like.
Do, Mi, but no Sol...
-Just kidding. Not that one.
-Be gentle!
Wow, the way you said it...
So sexy.
You're crazy.
In my first ten years
I didn't play house with you
In my second ten years
I played the guitar without you
I used to imagine what you'd look like
And compare it to the sunshine
That I liked
But I'd never seen the sweetest summer
In my third ten years
You showed up like we'd already met
You love to smile
And I like to joke around with you
We walk everywhere side by side
You're afraid that
Love won't be with us forever
So let me change my vows
I'll love you for ten years more
When we're...
What?
When we're...
Come on!
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
Good evening.
We're The Wonderful Four.
We'll be responsible for warming up,
opening performance, closing,
ending performance and encores.
Happy Valentine's Day to all.
-It's Valentine's Day?
-For the opening performance...
-What? You didn't know?
-A friend of mine...
-Oh, no!
-...is proposing to his princess.
He's singing her the song
that won first prize.
Let's hear it for...
Mr. You Da-he!
Da-he?
Mr. You Da-he?
Mr. You Da-he...
Once.
Mr. You Da-he...
Twice.
Let her decide.
Mr. You Da-he?
Well, sorry then.
In my first ten years
I didn't play house with you
Hi, Miss.
Sell me those flowers, please?
But I have my own Valentine.
Pretty please?
Actions speak louder than words.
Call now to order a bouquet.
It's not too late.
-No, it's too late.
-No, it's not.
These two...
Which one tastes better?
They're both delicious.
Oh, no!
What the hell is this place?
It's so expensive.
I'll pay.
I'll pay.
Happy Valentine's Day.
-Thank you.
-I've come prepared.
-I'll take care of it for you.
-Okay.
Oh, God. NT$100 for a rose?
Come on. It's Valentine's Day.
Even if you don't have a boyfriend,
buy yourself one.
-How did you know that I don't...
-I've been there before.
Here. Be happy even when you're alone.
Understand?
NT$100.
How much longer shall we wait?
It's Valentine's Day.
Let's wait until you smile.
But I've been sitting here with you
for so long that I've forgotten how.
But they haven't come back.
I can't leave,
or my sister will kick me out.
Well, why don't you move in with me?
Let's close up.
-It's Valentine's Day, Mommy.
-Happy Valentine's Day, baby!
Come here!
I've missed you so much!
Be a good girl and say hello.
-Hi, Auntie.
-Hi, Olivia.
Let's call her "Mommy."
-Okay?
-But there are two mommies.
Then I'm Big Mommy
and she's Little Mommy.
I know there will be another
And yet another ten years
When you're too old to walk
My hands will still be holding yours
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
What do you think?
Well...
So everyone loves a silly love song.
What silly love song?
I was confessing my love to you.
It's a silly love song anyway.
When will you be awarded?
Next month. But there's only one ticket.
I won't go.
Come on!
I'm serious.
I've asked them to mail me
the prize money.
There's prize money?
Of course.
It's $30,000.
We can buy a house downtown
and a car, too.
And we can have a child.
But $30,000
is a little less than NT$1 million.
Or we can pay our debts.
That's more like it.
But how much do we owe the bank?
A little less than NT$1 million.
So we'll be back to the start?
Great!
Back to the start
and we can break up.
That's not what I meant!
All right, already!
...as happy as we can be
When we're together
When we're together
We're as happy as we can be
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Thank you!
Thank you all!
Next up...
"Big World, Small World."
I hear the sunshine because you're warm
I hear the rainbow because of your smile
I was wrong to think that my ears
Couldn't hear the happiness
Then you showed up and my heart beat fast
And my voice has a pulse
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that you understand me
I hear the flowers blooming
Because you pick me
I hear the candy sweet
Because you kiss me
Your whispers in my ears
Stop me from being lonely
And prove that everyone
Will be heard eventually
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that you understand me
So I've had a big world of love
That's deafeningly beautiful
But I've never shared it
With anyone before
Thank you for giving me
A small world of love
For me to keep quiet loudly
Because I don't have to say a thing
To make sure that my dearest you
Loves me as well
Thank you!
