Young & Fabulous (2016) Movie Script

Let me go!

No...

Don't!

Help!

Let her go!

Help!

Save me!

Look out!

Royston!

Are you alright? Get me down!

Done?

What was that?

What?

Cough it out... cough!

Okay, stand up...

Come on, cough it out, come on!

Cough it out!

One more time, come on!

Come on!

Cough it out, come on!

Why are you eating pencils?

It's for writing, you know?

Remember?

Hao Ren! What are you doing?

I'm...

What is this?

Not funny!

I've already told you

not to help your mum buy such stuff!

You simply refused to listen.

Look, everyone's laughing at you now.

Is this your mum's?

Is it?

Okay, back to your test!

And stop bringing your mother's bra

or your father's bra to school!

Hey, this one's for you!

Wh...

Why? You think it's too little?

I don't usually

give treats to others, okay?

No... it's not that...

I'm glad that's not what you meant.

Anyway, if you need anything

in future, look for me!

I can get you any kind of bras

regardless of size A, B, C, D, or E,

they're all of top quality!

I don't...

Why are you hesitating?

You don't need

to feel embarrassed about this.

I'm very open-minded.

Just be yourself,

love yourself, bae.

- Come, let's eat.

- Hello.

Hao Ren, I want my refund!

What refund?

You promised to give me the answers

at S$10 per question.

You took S$50 from me

yet you only gave me four answers!

I want my refund!

Don't act oblivious.

There were five answers altogether.

Oh, please! You drew an apple

and I could tell it represents "A".

Then, you drew the letter "M".

What the hell is an "M"?

Excuse me!

I drew a bird. "B" for "Bird".

Who the heck will understand that!

You're a noob

if you can't even understand that.

I risked my life

to give you those answers.

You should give me a reward for that.

Yet you still want a refund?

You must be out of your mind!

Are you trying to bargain with me?

What do you think this is?

A fish market?

Please don't speak so loudly,

you'll scare me.

And when I'm scared,

I shoot my mouth off.

If "Boo Dog"

gets to learn about this...

You promised you'd keep it a secret.

Hello, we all heard because

you two were talking so loudly. Okay?

Violet said that

her post could garner 2,000 likes

within 24 hours!

Three words. That is not possible!

Exactly! "That is not possible"...

that's four words!

Violet's posts

have always been viral.

Exactly. Violet's posts

have always been viral!

You're just like a parrot.

You should move and stay

in Jurong Bird Park!

Wanna bet?

I'm not interested in betting,

but I do have an idea

that can garner 20,000 likes!

Pose nude?

You're disgusting!

S$20 for my idea! Wanna buy?

She's so rich, even S$200 per idea

is peanuts to her.

Guys... I'm serious.

If I pose nude,

will I get 2,000 likes?

This is our school's male toilet.

Stinky to the max!

Yucks! Oh my God...

That is so disgusting!

That's gonna give me nightmares

for the next three years!

Trust me! This is not

the best place you wanna be.

So, this is my virgin tour

to the boys' toilet, bye!

Bro!

Why are you so late?

Punished by the tutor again?

Bro, guess who am I?

Can't you tell? I'm Naruto!

You're so lousy!

Did you secretly use

my hair gel again?

I used glue!

Bro, can you help me sign for Mum?

I'm afraid Mum will kill me.

Wow! 29 out of 30?

No!

Bro, wait for me!

Bro, can you buy glue for me?

I've finished mine

and Mum might scold me for that.

If Mum sees you like this,

she will scold me instead for sure!

This is for you, Madam Chen.

Thank you.

Miss, I heard that

you were great at designing clothes.

No, I'm not.

The whole clinic says so.

My mum used to be a fashion designer

and she had her own boutique

at Orchard Road!

- Oh, is that your younger son?

- Yes.

So cute!

- That must be the older one?

- Yup.

He's my older brother

and he's very smart.

He tops his class every year!

Wow! You have a pair of great kids!

Oh, you're too kind.

He's going to be a doctor in future

so he has to study hard.

That's true.

Bro, speak up! Tell Mum that

you don't want to be a doctor.

Mummy,

Bro doesn't want to be a doctor.

That's right!

I don't want to be a doctor!

Be it neurology, paediatrics,

gynaecology, ophthalmology

orthopedics, oncology,

cardiology, neurosurgery

I don't want any of it!

I want to look good

and help others look good!

I want to be a fashion designer

and create my own label in Japan!

My very own label!

Thank you!

Are you crazy? Why did you hit me?

Why did you hit me?

Mum's talking to you.

Nonsense!

Your brother's biggest dream

is to be a doctor!

Right?

Japan!

Department.

"D" for "Department".

Is there an "I" in "Department"?

Why are you so dumb?

There's an "I" in everything now!

iPhone, iPad, iMac...

there's an "I" in "everything".

There's an "I" in "die" as well.

You want to die?

Both of you came from the same womb

but why is one so smart

and the other so dumb?

What now? Do you think

your pouting is adorable?

I'm telling you, we're under

immense pressure living in Singapore.

If you don't have a degree,

what will become of you?

Your brother will become

a doctor in future!

Tell me, what are you going to do?

Are you going to be a road sweeper

or a garbage collector?

Mummy, you're outdated.

We have foreign workers sweeping

our roads and collecting our garbage.

Singaporeans have no opportunity

to do such jobs!

No one can beat you

when it comes to talking back.

You'll be the death of me!

I'm telling you,

you should study hard!

You have no idea

how fortunate you are!

During my era,

no one was as lucky as you!

"You should study hard! You have

no idea how fortunate you are!

During my era,

no one was as lucky as you!"

You don't have to study. How lucky!

Royston, thanks for this great piece!

How much does it cost?

It's free of charge this time.

Just take it as a loan from me.

Oh my god! You're so kind!

Thanks!

I was thinking

since your skills are so refined

why don't you

try cosplaying yourself?

Me?

Look at me, how can I possibly do it?

My brother, don't keep putting

yourself down.

Like the legendary Shinwa...

Let me tell you,

many skilled cosplayers

make their own costumes!

I know

but, how can I compare to Shinwa?

I get the jitters when I have to

face too many people.

Moreover, I don't want to be famous.

Brother, you're too modest!

You think you're not famous enough?

Don't you know

that you're super famous now?

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending!

Go to "You-Too-Ball"!

"You-Too-Ball"?

YouTube!

- Oh, you mean YouTube.

- What's so great about English?

Type it in, and search for "Pee Man".

- P-E-E-M-A-N. "Pee Man."

- P-E-E-M-A-N.

I bet you'll feel terrible

after watching it.

This is our school's male toilet...

Stinky to the max!

Yucks! Oh my God...

That is so disgusting!

That's gonna give me nightmares

for the next three years!

Hey.

Look who's here!

It's "Pee Man"! "Pee Man"!

You still wet your pants at this age?

You can't hold it in?

I think you should wear diapers!

Hey, where are you going?

Going to p... pee?

Hey, let's see

if you can aim properly!

Royston, get lost!

You guys asked for "Pee Man", right?

I'm going to give it to you!

What is going on?

And that's all for today, folks.

"Pee Man Part 2"! I hope you en...

- ...joy.

What are you staring at?

I'm going to charge you for that!

You youngsters nowadays

are so self-centred.

You don't know

how to spare a thought for others.

What gave you the right

to expose Royston in that manner?

Unbelievable.

Look.

What you eat, when you sleep...

When you bathe?

Do you really need to share these

with strangers out there?

I don't find there's anything wrong.

Everyone's doing it.

So, if everyone jumps off

the building

you'll also jump?

You are seeking attention,

but you will get the wrong kind.

Pictures like these

will attract perverts!

I won't take any action this time.

But if you do it again,

I will have to talk to your parents.

They won't be free for you.

Next time,

if you take a video of someone

ask their permission.

Go back to class!

Whatever...

"Boo Dog". Uncool!

Don't you walk away,

you little devil!

You'd better not come any nearer

or I'll take a photo of you!

Aren't you sick of taking photos?

You dragged Royston into this mess!

I didn't do it on purpose.

Royston,

give her a piece of your mind!

I'll do it for you! Just pay me S$10!

You really have nothing better to do.

You post everything online.

It's fine that

you post things about yourself.

How could you post

a video of Royston peeing?

Have you ever pictured yourself

in Royston's shoes?

I didn't take a picture!

I took a video, okay?

You're so lame!

Sorry.

I-It's okay, n-no worries.

You may be gracious, but I'm not.

You owe me S$10.

Bad Guy,

what about that thing you owe me?

What was that?

My iPad!

You said you'd borrow it

for a few days, but where is it now?

Well...

This is so fun.

So many colours!

Drop that, Grandma! That's not mine!

Right! It's all Steve's fault.

The shockproof function

was not well designed!

I want you to compensate!

Little dev... Mighty Princess Violet

why would you care about

such a small sum of money?

You're right. It's peanuts to me,

but you still need to pay for it!

Don't tell me you want my...

Oh my God, you're so disgusting!

How do you want me to pay?

I want you

to complete three missions!

What are they?

Well... I don't have an idea yet!

I'll let you know

when I have something in mind, bye!

Bye.

Hurry up! Go get it!

What do you keep forgetting?

Hurry up!

I told you we can't do it in my house

I'm dead if my mum finds out.

I need it now, my brother!

Once my roommate moves out,

we can do it in my room.

Stop fidgeting!

Why are you rushing into it? Relax!

Don't blame me if I hurt you.

Don't worry about the pain.

I love it tight!

Royston,

what are you doing in the room?

- I thought your mum left?

- Royston, why are you not answering?

- Who's inside?

- I...

G-Give me a minute!

I-I'm changing!

Royston, why did you lock your door?

- Who's inside?

- Wait!

Open the door, Royston!

What the hell are you doing?

Jordan, go get the spare key

from the store room.

- Royston, who's inside?

- Which part of the store room?

The first drawer in the store room!

Go now!

Royston, open the door now!

The first drawer

from the top or the bottom?

The first drawer from the bottom!

Why are you so dumb?

Okay, coming... I'm coming!

Who is he?

Mum, he's... my friend, Chen Jun.

Hello, Auntie. You're so pretty!

My name's Chen Jun.

C-H-E-N, J-U-N.

Hailing from Beijing, China.

- Mum... we'll make a move! Bye.

- And I'm over 20 this year.

Bye, Auntie! Bye!

Mummy, he's wearing lipstick.

I saw that too.

Uncle, Stadium Place.

Oh yes! Wait!

Sorry. As we're in a hurry

please drive fast but steady,

and take note of traffic rules.

Don't use your mobile

when you're driving, okay? Let's go!

S$19.80, please.

Here you go, Uncle.

Stop staring, where's my change?

- Go.

- Keep the change!

Stop pushing me, what's the hurry?

- My dress is riding up!

- Thank you.

- Thanks, Uncle! What's with you?

- Thank you!

Bye!

Stop doing that. Everyone's looking.

They can look all they want!

That's the whole point of cosplay.

When will you start cosplaying too?

I've told you before. I can't do it.

I-I'm not used to

others looking at me

I think I'd better stick

to making costumes.

Wow!

Never belittle cosplay.

There are many hidden talents here!

Wow!

What do you think?

He's too cool...

for his friends.

You're so tactless!

Don't judge him by the book

he's actually a pilot.

Really?

Don't you think

she looks charismatic and graceful?

She's a reputable lawyer.

Stylish, right?

He's a renowned engineer

in Singapore.

Chen Jun!

Thanks!

I know... he's so good-looking

he must be a fashion designer.

No. He's an interior designer, right?

Oh please, can you have

just a little more imagination?

That dude's a chef!

Money's hard to earn! Three missions.

Damn! Lousy missions!

Well, you're the "Dirty Job Warrior".

"Dirty Job Warrior."

These clothes are

for Orange and the girls, not for me.

Bad Guy, I'll buy them for you

if you wear a skirt!

My clothes are really expensive.

Right, Orange?

Of course! Don't you know

that Violet's super rich?

My God! How much longer

do you girls want to shop?

Look! Isn't she

that babe from YouTube?

- Yup!

- Oh my!

Orange,

do you want to go to the toilet?

You go ahead!

Hey! There are

many cosplayers downstairs!

Let's take a look!

One, two, three.

- Thanks!

- You're welcome.

Dude, where are you going?

I'm delivering these costumes

to my customer.

Oh, looks like

someone's business is booming!

- Thank you.

Royston! There're some issues

with the costume you made.

What's wrong?

Can't you see it?

Right here. Are you blind?

Hey, Violet Ong!

Where are you going?

Let's be friends!

Your cup size doesn't look very big.

- At most 32B.

- But you're still hot!

Especially in that white tube.

Where are you going...

Babe... don't walk away like that!

Let's be friends.

- We can exchange numbers!

- Get lost!

Where are you going?

- Let's be friends.

- Get lost!

- I'll take a video of you.

- You think I look like Chow Yun Fat?

Go ahead...

You are a YouTuber, right?

I can be the male lead

in your videos!

- Get lost!

- What's wrong?

My favourite colour's violet too!

- Take a video of me, go ahead!

- I'll take a video of you now!

Get lost!

Taking a photo of you now!

Go on, you can take it!

You scumbag! Get lost!

Idiots! I'll kill you!

You bastards who pick on women!

I'll stab your XX eyes out

stab your XX noses out

and stab your XX mouths

I'll burn you in hell

for 7.8 million years

till you become charcoal!

Let's get out of here!

Thank you.

One, two, three, thank you!

Thank you...

Hi, may I take a photo with you?

- Of course!

- Thanks!

One, two, three.

Can I have your number?

Of course... 99923456.

What? You're a guy?

Affirmative.

Plus, double confirmation.

Certified with a three-year warranty.

Hey, where are they?

No idea, I'm looking for them too.

My dear son,

do you see this sausage here?

Yes.

Since I've conceived...

fried a sausage

It'll never become an egg.

What?

My dear sausage,

it's your karma to be a sausage

you must strive to be a good one.

Don't ever dream of becoming an egg.

Do you get what I mean?

Mum, there's something

I think you should know.

I prefer eggs!

Thank you!

Knock before you enter.

Bro, guess who I am.

Jordan Chio.

I'm Crayon Shin-chan! Am I cute?

I'm cosplaying him. Am I cute?

You call this cosplay?

Wow, Bro, look!

Hey, I want to look at that!

Hey... you're making a mess

all over me!

Get down...

Take this!

Get out! Now!

Brat!

Mum, are you snooping on

Bro's computer again?

- Whoa!

- Why are you so shocked?

What's wrong with you? Are you sick?

Come here, wipe it off now!

Bro!

Shhh... not so loud!

Shh. Now, now.

Mummy, please don't kill me...

Nonsense! Why would I kill you?

In the manga world

everybody gets killed

when they know a secret.

Why are you so dumb?

Nobody's going to kill you!

Why were you snooping

on Bro's Facebook page?

Come here and take a look at this.

Look at your brother's Facebook.

He has practically no friends!

Mum's got more friends than him!

I just want to help him.

Look! Not even a single like.

And there are only

a few pathetic posts!

You won't see much

if Bro's not granting you access.

Why are you so dumb?

How dare you!

Call your mum dumb? You...

Okay... let's make a deal.

Tell Mummy

how I can see your brother's posts.

Only middle-aged people

use Facebook now.

- Do you know why?

- Why?

All of you are tracking us

so we turn to other alternatives!

Oh... which ones?

I'm the Mighty Action Hero.

What's in it for me

if I let you know?

Pew!

Orange, why did you say

I'm a show-off?

A show-off? I don't know

what you're talking about.

You said that

I'm a show-off on Instagram!

Instagram? How is that possible?

I saw it with my own eyes!

You saw it?

But I thought I blocked you.

Hey! Why did you block me?

Don't you think

that you're very bitchy?

You think I'm bitchy?

How can I compare to you?

Who's always criticising others

saying he's lousy or she's a loser?

I thought

you always agreed with what I said?

I thought we were BFFs?

Ew...

Who would want a bitch as her BFF?

I've always shared the best with you!

Exactly! I'm only friends with you

because of that.

Why do you think I can put up

with your princess syndrome?

- You...

- Don't touch me!

At the end of the day

you just want everyone to know

that you're rich and beautiful.

I've never said that...

Forget it, Violet!

You're just an attention-seeker

who wants everyone to idolise you.

Sorry, not me!

I can't even stand the sight of you!

Why did she do this to me?

I shared everything with her.

I regarded her as my best friend

yet she did it to me.

I remembered she lost her phone once

and couldn't stop crying.

I helped her search

for it for two hours

and bought her a new phone

in the end.

She claimed

that I was an attention-seeker

who liked to show off...

Don't cry, my baby.

Hey. Are you going

to give that to me?

Oh...

Do you have more?

N-No...

- Nope...

- You don't have more?

Just go.

Hey!

Look!

Tell me now! Don't waste my time.

Is this you?

No?

N-N-No!

Oh, that's... that's such a pity!

Do you know what Violet said?

She said, "Oh, my..."

"Oh, my God! Cosplay is so cool!

I wish Royston was

the hero who saved me!

He's so macho!

My hero! My saviour!

My idol! Oh my God!"

If you tell me the truth

I'll teach you how to woo Violet.

Really?

As long as you admit

that you're Krazer

- I will...

- Yes.

Are you a sissy? Speak louder!

Yes, I am!

Who are you?

I'm Krazer! Idiots!

Is that really him?

Of course!

Change into this quickly.

I'll take you somewhere!

Where?

It's a surprise.

Idiots!

I'll kill you!

Wow!

What is this?

Oh, this is

the fashion brand I created.

One day, I'll make it a reality

and...

And?

And design a dress just for you.

What did you say?

- He said he likes...

- Hey!

I mean, I-I want to design

a dress just for you.

Mission Two accomplished! Let's go!

Hao Ren, what are you doing?

Wow, these costumes cost a bomb!

I didn't know

cosplaying was so expensive.

It's not that expensive.

I saved to buy materials

for these costumes.

My dream is to go to Japan

and showcase my designs

on the runway.

Oh my God, you're so awesome!

But why do people cosplay?

Cosplayers get to become

their favourite characters

and live out their fantasies

in reality.

It's really fun.

Are there many people

attending such events?

The number of cosplayers

ranges from tens to hundreds.

Sometimes, it can even go up

to thousands or more!

Thousands or more?

That's it! I want to cosplay too!

You? Forget it!

Hey, what do you mean by that?

Well... cosplay requires commitment.

I'm committed!

Once I post my cosplay photos

onto Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

the more likes I get,

the more commitment I have!

Excuse me, do you think it's easy?

A lot of time is needed

to make costumes and props!

Time is money!

Exactly, time is money

that's why I'm using free labour.

Your final mission

is to help me with my costume

and cosplay with me!

I get to decide

your cosplay character...

"Dirty Job Warrior"!

Save me!

Don't worry, I'll help you.

Oh my God... really?

Awesome!

You'll be my costume designer

and I'll be your model! Deal?

- Yes!

- Wow!

What are you howling about?

Asia Cosplay Summit

Most Likes Contest?

Most Likes?

This contest requires participants

to post a cosplay video online.

The person with the most likes

wins S$1,000!

Yeah, whatever!

As long as it makes me more popular

I'm fine

with cosplaying any character.

Do you want to join us?

- Me?

- Oh, please.

His legs give way

whenever he's nervous.

I'll chop my head off if he agrees!

Do you like me...

to cosplay with you?

I'd love that.

Is that a yes?

Do you have a knife with you?

No...

but I've got a pair of scissors.

Someone said he'd chop his head off

if you agreed to cosplay.

- Help, she's going to kill me.

- Stop right there!

Help!

- Please...

- Shhh!

Shhh!

I need to...

I-I... need to...

Oh, if you mind, don't worry.

I can just estimate your size.

No, it has to be precise!

If the costume is baggy here

and loose there, it won't fit at all.

Go ahead! I want to be

the most beautiful character

so that my followers

will go crazy over me!

I'm gonna wear this

so my dad won't recognise me!

- Stop messing with my prop!

- Hey guys, stop fooling around!

Hey!

Wow! It's such a hot day!

It's raining.

Yes, quite heavily.

Hello? Katana?

S-So sorry. I don't have the time

to make costumes for you recently.

Hey, what are you doing?

Let's check out Royston's photos!

You're so evil!

Do you know his password?

It's either your name

or your birth date.

Why?

What do you think?

Violet Ong.

Lousy!

iloveviolet.

Oh my God, you're so disgusting!

Jackpot!

H-How... much is this?

S$12.50 per metre.

Wow! That's expensive!

Boss, it's only S$10 next door.

You should go next door then!

Don't worry about the money.

What's going on?

They're bargaining.

Miss, how is this possible?

You've become

so much prettier and slimmer!

Do I know you?

I come here often with my dad.

He's that short and plump tailor.

He'd always tell my mum

how beautiful you are

and ask her

to get beauty tips from you.

My mum got

so jealous and scolded him!

Really?

Of course!

He still insists that I come here

even though my mum doesn't like it.

Why is that so?

He's been everywhere.

Only the lady boss here

is beautiful and kind!

Where else can we go?

What a sweet boy!

Just tell me what you want!

- Five metres.

- Dear!

Get five metres for them

at S$8, okay?

Dude, money's hard to earn!

You have to open your mouth

to bargain.

Since we have good looks

we should buy things

from middle-aged women.

The older and uglier,

the better deals we get.

Wow, Bad Guy!

You have such a glib tongue.

I admire guys

who are confident and eloquent.

Here's a like for you!

I've done my research.

Confidence and attitude

are vital to cosplay.

As long as we believe in ourselves

nothing will get in our way!

Roy... Royston?

Why is the door locked?

Open the door. Drink this...

Oh, dear! What's wrong with your eye?

My eye?

Did you get panda eyes

from studying late?

- Do you need my eye cream?

- No, thanks!

- Hold on. Have some chicken essence.

- Okay.

You really don't need my eye cream?

You're not done yet.

Drink up,

there's still a little left.

Finish it.

Son, are you alright?

Okay... study hard.

Okay?

Are you guys here yet?

Hey, walk faster.

Royston's rushing us!

What's the hurry?

You little devil...

Wow!

- Wow!

- Look at the crowd!

Do you want to win $1,000?

Yes, of course!

We must take action now!

Can you speak

in human language, please?

In order

to attract everybody's attention

we need an audience!

Look at all these people here!

What are you waiting for?

Take off your cloak now!

Hello, no one even looked at us.

Epic fail!

No worries, I've got a secret weapon.

We have props, haven't we?

What is this for?

What do you know?

I need gimmicks to get eyeballs!

Hold this!

Oh my God, this is a real sword!

Of course.

This is my mad's prized antique.

Many died under its blade.

I want everybody to know

that my cosplay is the real deal!

- Be careful!

- I'll be fine!

Watch out!

Hello!

Oh, dear.

The competition's starting soon.

Why are your friends not here yet?

Dude, I'll be going on stage soon

or else I won't be able

to upload my video on time.

Good luck!

Hello, where are you?

I thought

I told you guys to come earlier?

What? Arrested by security?

Okay...

I'm coming over now, wait for me!

Is this why you couldn't make

our costumes? Trying to be like us?

You really think

we can't survive without you?

S-Sorry, I've got to go.

Something urgent came up.

I bet you know you look like a loser

so you're trying to back out now?

Fear not. He's a sorry sight.

We look even more fantastic

because of losers like him!

Please excuse me,

I really need to leave now.

No way!

What are you going to do about it?

Losers like you are not fit

to carry such weapons!

- Give it to me!

- Stop it! Give it back to me!

Stop right there!

Do I look like your toy?

Am I your dog?

I've been tolerating your nonsense

for a long time.

Who do you think you are?

You think you're so cool

just because you posed in costumes?

Get this! You're just worthless fools

without my costumes!

Huh?

So cool!

Why were you taken away by security?

It's all her fault!

Why are you blaming me?

You attention-seeker! You wanted

more people to look at you.

Well, you could have stopped me

but you didn't.

You were holding a real sword.

What if you cut me into two pieces?

You didn't stop me

because of the prize money!

Enough! Are both of you crazy?

We don't use real weapons

when we cosplay!

Why do we need to make props

if real weapons can be used?

It's my first time cosplaying!

I wouldn't know such things!

Why are you shouting at me?

Who do you think you are?

My parents don't even shout at me!

S-Sorry...

You guys roped me into cosplaying.

I didn't expect our first attempt

to screw up this badly.

Fine, I promise.

It won't happen again.

There won't be a next time.

Bro, I thought we were supposed

to be the Formidable Trio?

It wasn't easy for me

to convince myself to cosplay.

In the end,

I embarrassed myself completely.

I will never cosplay again.

Bro!

Hey, look!

It's all over! I'm a true blue loser.

Says who? We have over 13,000 likes!

You've clinched

"The Most Popular Cosplayer" title!

- We won!

- Really?

I don't care.

You'll have to cosplay with me!

I don't care. You'll have to split

the S$1,000 with me.

You're disgusting!

Wow!

This is just like a palace!

Stop exaggerating.

This house is huge. I bet

you play hide-and-seek every day.

No wonder you're so weird.

Bad Guy!

Okay, stop fooling around.

Let's get started!

Wow, Chen Jun!

You're so good at making props!

Of course! I learnt from the best.

Who taught you?

You won't know my teacher!

By the way,

I forgot to thank you guys

for inviting me to join your team.

Don't be so formal with us.

We wouldn't have won if you didn't

upload my video to the Internet.

He's right.

That's old news, let's move on.

It was partly luck.

So, for our Asia Cosplay "Xiao Mi"...

Summit.

"Xiao Mi".

Whatever.

Anyway, if we want to win Kantana

in this competition, we must cut...

cut them

out of the competition, okay?

Most of the junk

that my dad brings home

can be used as cosplay materials.

It's pretty amazing.

That's right!

Cosplay brings out our creativity

boosts our confidence,

expands our social circle

- and...

- Grow our network.

And that means

we have more opportunities

and money!

- Oh, yeah!

Money grubber!

Why don't we learn kung fu

for our cosplay competition?

Good idea! We can use multimedia

to enhance our fight scenes

like how they do it in anime.

I can handle the graphic design.

I happen to know

a very famous kung fu master!

I know Taichi, Shaolin

Wing Chun, Hung Gar,

Praying Mantis Fist, Muay Thai.

Taekwando, Aikido, Judo,

Kendo and Chado (the art of tea).

What do you want to learn?

Master, we want to learn somersault

and make you our action choreographer

for the competition.

Sure! S$100 per hour.

Grandmaster,

please give us a discount.

We are just poor students.

No bargaining!

Please. The cosplay community

is very big.

All you need is

one recommendation post from us

and you'll end up

with thousands of likes.

Your business

will increase at least tenfold.

Can we close it at S$50, please?

Mr Handsome?

Deal! We can start anytime!

Wow! You've really changed a lot.

Your negotiation skills

improved tremendously!

All thanks to me!

Okay. All thanks to you!

Hey, how can we study

when you keep sighing?

- He's right.

- I'm trying my best

but studying is really tough,

I can't seem to remember anything.

Not really, I concentrate better

when we study together.

It's too bad that your shopping

buddies are only after your money.

They're all not true friends.

Exactly, I'm lucky

to have you guys now.

Royston, how do you study?

I use the Association Method

to remember things.

I learnt that from watching anime.

The Association Method?

There's a method

called "Memory Room."

Imagine walking

into a room you're familiar with.

Divide the room

into different sections.

After that, place the things

you need to remember

into the different sections

and link them together.

For example, when I think of a window

I'll link it to Bill Gates!

Bookshelf, Ernest Hemingway.

Computer, Steve Jobs.

- Ceiling...

- Enough.

It sounds really complicated.

Not really.

It's not complicated at all.

- Try it!

- Okay.

I'll try.

Imagine walking into a room

I'm familiar with.

Divide the room into...

What's wrong?

Before I try out this method

I need to first clean my room!

Don't worry.

As long as

it's a room you're familiar with

and keep practising, you'll succeed!

Yes...

Your turn.

Do it.

That hurts!

I'm going to take a break.

Let's do it.

Royston! Shinwa left us a message.

- Shinwa?

- Who's Shinwa?

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Shinwa's a legend

in the Singapore cosplay community!

"Kudos to your costumes,

love them! Keep it up!"

How does Shinwa look like?

He's very mysterious.

No one knows what he looks like.

He created a cosplay website

to help and encourage newbies.

Do you know him?

Of course, I do!

Wow, that's amazing.

You even know a legend.

I'm thirsty.

Hey, introduce him to us.

Every cosplayer knows Shinwa.

I may know him,

but he doesn't know me!

Hey! You're such a noob.

You're the same.

Bro, guess who I am!

Jordan Chio.

You're not even looking at me!

I'm "Hopper".

Stop it!

Don't let Mum see you in this

or you'll turn into "Two Piece"!

Don't you think I look like him?

Let me join your team!

- No!

- Please...

No! You're too young to join!

Mummy always call me dumb.

If I take part

in the competition and win

Mummy will be pleased

and never call me dumb again!

So cute!

Oh my God, you're so cute!

Oh my God, I've made up my mind.

He's taking part

in the competition with us!

Princess Violet is awesome!

No! He can't do it!

Pose and I'll take a photo for you.

Yes.

Do I look cuter this way?

Bro! Look here!

What are you doing?

Be careful, Jordan!

Violet, not bad!

Orange, not so good.

Jay, you'd better have a study plan.

Hao Ren, come here!

Faster.

Why don't you tell the whole class

your marks?

6...

61!

From the lowest mark record setter

to 61, not bad!

- Thank you.

- Boo...

Yes! That's right!

- Mr Boo.

- Don't touch me.

I want to thank you

for being so patient.

Next, I want to thank

my father, my grandma

my tortoise,

and my brother, Royston Chio.

You are my best pal!

Hey! You can go back to your seat.

Bro, thanks!

The Association Method really works.

I knew you could do it!

Of course!

Thank you speech?

What do you think this is?

Star Awards?

Are you jealous

because I did better than you?

You're better off studying than

wasting your time staying jealous.

Heard that you guys are into cosplay?

Why do you do such sissy stuff?

Are you guys sissies?

Honestly, I think you guys

have nothing better to do.

And in reality,

you know you are losers.

So, in order to be cool

you have to do

this cosplay thing. Right?

Who's the loser now?

Be careful.

Posing is really easy.

Let me show you.

One.

Two.

Three.

Chen Jun, show them.

Wow! So sissy!

You must have

confidence and attitude.

Come here, Royston!

What, me?

Forget it... show me some attitude.

Attitude.

I think

you'd better focus on your stunts.

That's awful!

No confidence, no attitude.

You can't even do a somersault,

what should we do?

Who are they?

You must be the King and Queen?

I'm so honoured to meet you.

These biscuits are delicious!

My name is Chen Jun,

C-H-E-N, J-U-N.

Hailing from Beijing, China,

I'm over 20 this year, I...

Why did you bring

this ragtag bunch of friends home?

Your Highness, I'm not done yet...

What do you mean?

They're my classmates.

Violet...

Hi, Auntie!

Wow, you are so beautiful.

Obviously.

Obviously, you've no idea

how much she spends on skincare.

Cool down... let's go upstairs.

Hey! There's no sun here,

why are you wearing sunglasses?

Mr and Mrs Ong requested this meeting

to sort out certain things.

Hey, I don't understand English!

I've foreseen they may not

understand English, may I?

My family's bilingual,

so we can speak Chinese as well.

It's Mandarin.

When it's spoken,

we call it Mandarin.

When it's written,

we call it Chinese.

Your sons

got my daughter into cosplay.

"Crossplay", what the heck is that!

It means dressing up as characters

from anime or manga.

Is it "crossplay" or "cross pray"?

Never heard of cosplay!

It means role play.

Good grief! Role play? Just like

what I've watched in those videos...

Oh no, I meant my friend.

He loves watching those videos

where there are two women and a man

doing this and that...

Excuse me, can you show some respect?

This is cosplay.

This is equally serious.

My daughter and your sons

are of different... pedigree.

Are you saying

that your daughter is purebred

and our sons are mongrels?

Yes, something like that.

Actually, Mrs Ong, prior to

hanging out with Royston and Hao Ren

Violet always seems

a little bit unhappy.

Unhappy?

There is no reason for her

to be unhappy

because we provide her

with everything possible.

To be fair,

Violet's attitude and results

have improved tremendously.

I think there is

a positive influence from Royston.

I beg to differ! She has improved

because we've hired

the best tutor in Singapore for her.

I hope your son

will stay away from my daughter.

People of different classes simply

do not mix together, get it?

Different classes?

I thought

they were in the same class?

Why do I even bother?

She thinks

her daughter is of the upper class

and our sons are of the lower class.

Her daughter's an angel

while our sons are the bad guys!

How can you say that!

My son is Hao Ren (good guy)!

A good guy...

Violet, go take a shower.

Stay right there.

If you mingle with them again

I will take extreme measures.

Yeah, right!

Just like

how you warned Daddy not to play golf

not to go here, not to go there!

No freedom at all!

Sorry, I'm not Daddy!

Hey...

Don't be angry. Cool down, please.

Why did you dress like a ghost?

Spending S$200 to dress like one!

You like ghosts?

I'll catch one for you from Changi,

free of charge!

Dad, that's an anime character,

not a ghost.

What anime?

Why are you "crossplaying"?

You're my son

you know

we cannot afford to "crossplay".

Dad, it's cosplay!

Cosplay is a professional hobby.

I didn't spend any money on it.

All the materials

were taken from our home.

They're from

all the junk you've collected.

Who gave you permission

to take my stuff?

Dad, this is an investment.

We need to invest to make money.

If we win this cosplay competition

we'll get S$10,000!

Good grief! S$10,000?

Come here, my son. Take a seat...

Sit down.

Are we talking

about Singapore dollars?

Of course! What else? Rupiah?

Wow! I can smell a fortune coming.

Go ahead.

And dress up like a ghost.

You can take all my stuff.

I grant you permission officially!

Can I cosplay whatever I want?

Of course!

You can be Superman, Batman

even King Kong eating a banana.

Anything under the sun!

- Mum!

- Grandma!

Why are you making so much noise?

If you're still keeping anything

you'd better take them out now.

All of it!

Mummy, please don't...

Sit still!

This is none of your business.

You neglect your studies

to read these every day.

All these manga, cosplay, anime

they're no good for you!

Mummy, I top the class every year.

Isn't that good enough?

You spend all your time

reading these books

that are filled with

violence and gore.

They'll corrupt your mind!

Son... you're a guy.

Why are you designing clothes

and putting on makeup like that?

It's bad enough for you

to indulge in this

why are you dragging your brother

into it?

He looks up to you

and follows whatever you do!

You're still... give it to me!

- Mummy, please don't!

- Go away! Get lost!

Why are you doing this?

Why can't I do the things I love?

Do the things you love?

You may hate me now,

but you'll thank me in future!

I won't!

I don't want to study medicine

and I don't want to be a doctor!

I want to read manga

and make clothes.

I want to be a fashion designer!

A fashion designer has no future!

I don't want you

to follow in my footsteps.

You'll regret it

for the rest of your life!

If Daddy were here

he'd support me.

Do you know what you're saying?

If Daddy were here

he wouldn't be like you,

so unreasonable and overbearing!

What did you just say?

It's your career and your future!

You'll starve without a degree,

not me!

Bro...

Bro, Snowy asks you to stop crying.

What kind of attitude is that?

Come back here!

Stop playing!

Don't do what your brother does.

Coming...

Hello. Please come in!

Your house is so cluttered

and it smells funny.

My dad brought all of these back

last night.

These can all be sold.

Your father must be

a Jack of all trades.

Sorry, all these

will be gone tomorrow.

Don't touch that! It's my dad's.

Sorry, I was just checking

if these things can be used

as materials for our cosplay.

We've run out of cash.

After deducting the cost of materials

from here, we're still short of...

S$900.

S$900? That's bad.

This is just a little setback,

are we going to give up?

Don't you have

many old computers and mobile phones?

Sell some for the team!

My mum did a stock take yesterday.

I only managed to salvage a phone.

This is for you.

Thanks, once I've saved enough money

I'll buy a new one for you.

It's okay.

I should have withdrawn more money

and kept it.

Shhh... I've got tons of money.

- Grandma!

- Shhh... please keep it a secret

I'm really rich.

Can she lend us some money?

Grandma, quit fooling around!

These are for you! Take it...

I thought you wanted it... Take this.

Take them all. I still have more.

- Take them all. I have loads of it!

- Grandma, enough...

Please count them in your room.

It's time to show my hand!

Wow... that's a lot of money!

Brother, please let go

when it's time to.

S$200.

S$250.

S$40.

That's almost S$500!

- Bro, how did you get so much money?

- How?

These are my hard-earned money.

Bad Guy, you're the richest

among all of us!

- Yes!

- Of course!

Wait... we're still S$400 short.

Bro, I've already sacrificed so much,

cheer up!

Money grubber!

Okay, Mr Boo, it's me!

Aren't the exams around the corner?

Let me do all the talking later.

Mr Boo, I'm not lying.

My grandma's really sick,

so I've got to work.

Where is your grandmother now?

She...

She's in the hospital...

Grandma!

Come here...

What's up?

Grandma, why didn't you inform me

about your discharge?

I could've picked you up!

Knock on wood!

You're such an unfilial grandson!

I just went out to exercise.

Why are you cursing me?

What did she say?

She's very tired and needs to rest.

Grandma, you must be exhausted.

Please take a rest! Go...

So, besides your grandmother's

hospitalisation fees

what other financial difficulties

do you have?

My father... he got "fried"!

- He was fried?

- No... he got fired.

Dad!

Hello, Teacher!

So sorry, Sir, to hear

about the loss of your job.

- Mr Boo.

- Hao Ren, what did your teacher say?

You were fired, right?

- Fired?

- Mr Boo...

Oh, no, I wasn't fired.

My boss just raised my pay.

I wasn't fired.

Hao Ren, translate for me.

I came here because...

He came here because...

Wait, how do I know

if you'll translate correctly for me?

Mr Boo, trust me!

No, I don't trust you.

I'll do it myself.

- Mr Hao.

- Hao Lian.

I'm not hao lian (boasting).

Hao Lian.

I didn't say

you were hao lian (boasting).

- Hao Lian.

- Mr Boo.

My father's name is Hao Lian.

He's Hao Lian, not that

you're hao lian (boasting).

Yes, Hao Lian.

What kind of name is that?

Okay. Mr Hao Lian, you mother...

Hey!

Hao Ren, your teacher just swore!

No...

He said your mother had no...

How do I say this? Damn.

Right! Your mother

needs money to see a lor...

lor mee (braised noodles)!

Oh, you're hungry!

Quick, buy lor mee for him.

No, wait! Not lor mee

(braised noodles), lor...

Doctor.

- Oh, lor kun (doctor)!

- Lor kun (doctor)...

- Right?

- Yes...

My mother's leg is in pain.

She also has dementia

and she needs money

to see a lor kun (doctor).

So, your mother's leg is aching,

she's slightly off her rocker.

And she needs money to see a doctor?

Hao Ren goes out to work

and he's very hardworking.

He earns money

to pay for his studies.

He pays for the water

and the "powder".

Power.

"Powder", power, he's a good boy.

So, you've been working

to support your family?

People always call me money grubber

and I let them.

Actually, my dad doesn't earn much

so I've got to work.

So, you're taking part in

the cosplay competition

for the money?

No, Mr Boo.

I really fell in love with cosplay.

In real life, I'm always the bad guy.

But when I cosplay, I get to

be a hero for a little while.

Hao Ren!

Tell me how much you need

for the cosplay competition

I'll lend it to you.

Interest free.

- Really?

- Really.

Teacher!

I need money too!

Can I borrow some?

I can fly

Master, how is he going to fly

during the competition?

We'll use wire on that day! Come on!

Let's start!

- Yeah!

- Bro, you're awesome!

I did it! Yes!

Bro, look at me! I can do it too!

- Stop!

- Jordan!

Stop!

Mummy.

I'm sorry.

I-I'm really sorry!

I didn't expect...

I didn't expect Jordan will...

There's nothing much I can do

if you choose

to be so immature at your age.

But your brother's only eight!

Bro, guess who I am?

Jordan Chio!

You're not even looking at me,

I'm "Hopper".

Stop it!

Your brother's

already in such a state.

Why do you still have the mood

for these things?

What's wrong with you?

Are you throwing a tantrum?

What do you want from me?

How did you get this?

I know that you've been unhappy

ever since you gave up your dream.

Since young, I've told myself

when I grow up

I'll help you fulfil your dream.

I didn't expect that...

I'd cause you

more unhappiness instead.

Go ahead.

Auntie.

There's something you should know

but we're not sure

how to bring it up to you.

Just say it.

Do you know why Jordan wants to

take part in the cosplay competition?

Actually...

If I take part in the competition

and win

Mummy will be pleased

and never call me dumb again!

Jordan always felt inferior.

Why are you so dumb?

Both of you came from the same womb.

Why is one so smart

and the other so dumb?

The first drawer from the bottom!

Why are you so dumb?

In Jordan's world,

Royston is his idol.

Royston's cosplay character

in the competition

is actually Jordan's hero.

His greatest wish is

for Royston to win the competition.

Auntie, please forgive Royston.

Son.

Mummy.

Do you still want to take part

in the cosplay competition?

No, I don't.

I know you don't like it.

I stopped you

from pursuing your dreams

because I'm afraid that you'll fail.

I don't want you

to follow in my footsteps.

After my business fell through

I ended up

with a huge amount of debt.

Then, your dad abandoned us

without a word.

Why have you not shared this

with me before? That day...

I went down a difficult path...

and sacrificed all I had in the end.

I only hope that

I can protect both of you

with all that I have in future.

No matter how tough

the coming days may be

I won't let the both of you suffer.

Mummy.

But I'm wrong.

You should choose your own path

and take it bravely,

no matter right or wrong.

I should give you

the freedom to choose.

Sorry, Mummy.

I'm really sorry.

If not for me, Jordan wouldn't...

Jordan wouldn't be...

It's not your fault...

Come over here.

The only thing you can do now

is to win this competition

for Jordan.

Help Jordan fulfil his dream.

You're his hero!

No matter what happens

you have to do this for him.

And for yourself.

It's too late.

It's only two days away.

Here.

We can do it.

Nothing is impossible.

It'll be done in time

if we do this together!

After two days of hard work

we managed to complete the costume.

We knew each other

more than we ever did before.

And our thoughts

never left Jordan all this time.

For my brother, and myself

I'll fight till the end!

So weak! Like insects.

Am I right, Migi?

No wonder the world is so chaotic.

Hey, look! It's Ding Dang!

Hi, Ding Dang!

I feel so embarrassed for you!

You're such a disgrace

to the cosplay community! Go home!

We are fellow cosplayers.

Do you need to be such a bully?

Shut up.

You've just won once,

don't act like a saint.

Kantana's the reigning champion

in cosplay.

You're not even fit

to compete with us.

Don't be hao lian (arrogant)!

You'll never know who's the winner.

We've every right

to hao lian (boast).

What can you do about it?

Wait! My name is Hao Lian.

What can you do about it?

Dad?

I thought it was Ding Dang Junior.

I was wrong! It's Ding Dang Senior!

Why are you taking a photo of us?

Since both of you are so famous

I'll share the photo

with your Instagram followers

and let them witness

your friendliness.

- Don't you dare!

- I'll do it right now!

- Stay right there!

- Stop!

Dad, why did you come

dressing like this?

If you can "crossplay", why can't I?

I'm here to support you!

Really? Thanks, Dad!

Son!

Mummy.

My son is so handsome today!

Give it your best!

Turn around.

Akira asked me to be deployed here,

where is she?

You've been fooled!

It's just a mere ruse

to lure you out!

Prepare yourself!

Is that all you've got? Pathetic!

You...

What shall we do?

We're up next. Where's Chen Jun?

Hey. Is Chen Jun coming?

Hey, it's Chen Jun!

Where are you?

What?

- What...

- What happened?

He said

that his grandfather is dying.

He needs to rush back to Beijing.

- We're dead.

- So dead.

His grandfather's dying, not dead!

I'm referring to us!

There's still hope! He said

he found someone to replace him.

Bullshit! Where's that person?

Kiseki? You guys are up next!

Bro, can you do us a favour

and let us be the last to perform?

Sorry, that's not possible.

You'll be disqualified

if you don't go now.

Please help us! Mr Handsome, please!

Bro, how about some...

Come back next year!

Are we going to give up

just like that?

No! I must do this for Jordan!

Let's do this together!

Kiseki!

Break a leg!

The next team performing for us

is Team Kiseki!

Son... go for it!

Aaron, she's crying.

We should help her.

Lovi, stop! It's dangerous.

Lovi!

Lovi, stop! What's wrong?

What should we do now?

Why don't you go backstage first?

The replacement's not here yet.

What should we do?

Bro, look at me!

Stop!

You're his hero!

Win this competition for Jordan.

I was so worried! Luckily,

you guys were awesome!

You were really great,

here's a 100 likes for you!

Thanks for your help.

Are you Chen Jun's friend?

- What's that?

- Is that a yes or no?

Can you let us know who you are?

Hold on.
