(Here Comes the Money Pawn Shop)
Here, it's worth 100,000 dollars
100,000 dollars?
How is that possible?
How about you give me a bit more
for the sake of my father?
My dad's offering you 100,000 dollars
out of respect for your father.
You can always try to sell it elsewhere.
Mr. CHIAN, please give me a bit more.
Let me tell you, your father was Hakka.
He saved up for his family,
but then he had you, the spendthrift son.
You pawned everything.
Now, this is the only thing left,
yet you want to pawn it.
Do you have anything left after that?
100,000 dollars, do you want it or not?
OK
100,000 dollars, alright.
It's a lot of money...
(Love in north coast)
Back then, Brigitte married someone
else out of spite for me.
Do you know how hurt I was?
And Maggie didn't understand me
Maggie didn't understand me.
Up to now, A-Mei stares at me all day
She stares at me all day.
That's right! What's Patty HOU to me!
But I know that in this lifetime,
Phyllis will never leave me alone.
Why doesn't Phyllis let me go?
Please come with us.
Shit! It's so hot!
You stole my clothes!
(Syphilis Treatment Clinic)
Phyllis! Let me go, Phyllis!
I'll have... anything is fine.
OK
Blackie, here, It's on the house.
Do you want a beer?
No thanks,
my wife doesn't like me drinking.
Whatever...
The hell with it.
Just one beer.
OK
Here.
Bottoms up!
Let's have another one.
Blackie.
Blackie.
Blackie.
You.
Struck.
Gold
but you don't
even patronize
my business.
Alright, just give me
a little bit of everything, OK?
Blackie, I'm really touched!
Cheers to you!
Didn't you say your wife
doesn't let you drink?
Women shouldn't meddle
in men's business.
I respect her,
I'll down another beer in your honor.
Your wife's here.
What the heck is that?
Call me sister...
Blackie
I saw a bunch of thugs coming here.
Really?
I think they are looking for you.
Do you owe them money?
You better leave now.
Alright.
Goodbye.
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up...
The prize for Supper Lottory
is now worth 800 million...
Auntie Lottery.
Blackie, It's so hot out...
What are you doing outside?
Come...
Let Auntie give you a beverage.
Thank you.
Do you want to buy a lottery ticket?
The prize is 800 million!
800 million?
Then help me choose
whichever combination.
OK
Here you go.
Hope you win the jackpot!
Ah ah ah! Great!
Tell our boss you don't have money
but you have enough to buy lottery.
Damn it!
I'll kill you.
Search him to see
how much money is left.
There's nothing.
Boss, There's no money? Boss...
Boss, we really can't find any money.
Don't you know that the people
in wheelchair
all work for us?
Damn, you're really stupid.
Give me another chance,
boss, please
I've given you one chance
after an other.
If I don't teach you a lesson today,
how can I be accountable to my boss?
Hit him!
Wait!
How much does he owe you guys?
Not much,
Hit him!
Wait...
Do you have shit for brains!
Why didn't you mention it earlier?
Take this, and keep the change.
Consider it a tip.
What is that?
2 grand.
Do you take me for a bellboy?
You think my boss is stupid?
I meant 18 million.
Help me!
Today is the fiftieth anniversary
of painter CHANG Lao
a national treasure.
Boss, please!
Memorials are held in many places.
Give me one more chance, boss, please!
After the artist passed away.
Please! Please!
His paintings worth has increase 10 time, 100
times, 1,000 times -Blackie was good to us.
Why not give him another chance.
Please.
Please, boss...
Yes, sir.
Alright, get up.
You only have one way out now.
Didn't your father leave you
a painting after he died?
Alright, all you onlookers can get lost.
Go, what are you looking at?
Are you guys deaf?
Go now.
It's really easy.
Just go and get rid of the artist.
Our organization will speculate
to increase the value of the painting
so you won't have to pay us back.
With luck,
you might even make a small profit.
Auntie Lottery
don't you want to help him?
I'll give you a chance.
Thank you.
Hey! What are you doing?
Stop it!
Get out!
What are you doing in my store?
She's an old lady, stop it!
My baby! Why do you take my baby!
I'll give you a week to get this done.
Then, I'll give Auntie
Lottery her baby back.
This has nothing to do with her.
Please, leave her out of this.
Oh yes, remember,
take photos as a proof.
What?
My baby.
Boss!
My baby.
What do I do now?
What do you mean
"What do I do now?"
He's telling you to go
kill that guy, just go!
Kill someone!?
I'm not that crazy.
Yes you are
I know that I have to pay
100,000 dollars to get the picture back
but I only have a few dollars left.
Please.
Here is 60,000.
You didn't shower? You smell like shit!
It's his money.
My God! How could this be?
You deserve to be beaten up
if you owe money.
It's none of my business.
They came here this morning
and almost beat me up.
Thank God my dad protected me Daddy!
How about I also give you this.
What is that?
Are you collecting garbage now?
Take that away.
Then I'll also give you this.
The prize is now worth 800 million
800 million?
The draw hasn't even taken place.
It hasn't...
Do you think I'm stupid?
If I don't take this money now,
I'll probably never get any more from you.
It smells horrible.
Here's the painting.
We'll keep the frame.
Can you help me look it up
the address of the painter CHU Chung-Tian?
This is a free service.
CHU Chung-Tian has an address
in Singapore
Singapore!
(Tall short fat thin Breakfast Shop)
I
It smells like shit!
Mr. CHU, express delivery for you.
E-I-E-I-O
- Mr. CHU, express delivery! E-I-E-I-O.
- I heard you!
Stop screaming, I heard you!
Mr. CHU come down
and pick up your delivery.
You're affecting my business
and It's making me angry
I got lots of customers, tall ones,
short ones, fat ones, thin ones.
If you don't come down now,
just wait and see.
Don't say my meat buns have no meat,
my thick meat slices aren't thick
I have everything here,
so why worry about not having enough to eat
Mr. CHU, express delivery
for you E-I-E-I-O.
For Pete's sake, What's all the fuss about?
If you sing so well,
why don't you make a record?
What's the problem?
There's someone to see you.
Chian-Ren,
What's up? Why in a hurry?
Our gallery is trying to free up some space.
Your paintings aren't selling
and they take up space
so I brought them back to you,
and you saved on delivery.
Chian-Ren...
Chian-Ren...
How about you help me...
(The Thinker)
At the very least, I am a fine steed
who hasn't found the right jockey.
Where is my jockey?
CHU Yue-Po!
Isn't he supposed to be in jail?
How come you're here already?
I escaped today
If it wasn't for my commission,
I would have revealed long ago
that we stole the painting together.
I know that you value loyalty
but I already sold that painting.
I really sold that painting.
Do you think that I'm like you?
No father, no mother,
you just have to worry about yourself.
It's only money that I owe you.
You don't have to say hurtful things.
Say hurtful things?
I can also do hurtful things.
OK
You asked for it.
How come
It's not like what I imagined?
It's not that bad!
Singapore has a lot of good food
and fun places.
You can go to Marina Bay Sands Hotel
and try your luck.
You look like someone who loves to gamble.
Group tour price is 25,000.
Credit card or cash?
Cash.
OK
Is there a lot of free time in the tour?
Free time?
You.
You want to go to Geylang (prostitution)?
Geylang
OK
No problem
I'll tell you a secret.
CHU Chung-Tian lives right above
Gao Ai Pang Shou Breakfast Shop.
Manager YING.
CHU Chung-Tian,
What's with the avant-garde look?
Manager YING, I need you.
But
I have a girlfriend
and I've just knocked her.
Go to hell! You got the wrong idea.
Didn't you just asked Chian-Ren
to return the painting to me, right?
After taking it back, I was very angry
so I ran upstairs and took off my bathrobe.
After taking it off, I pondered on a chair
I sat like that...
I opened and Yue-Po was there
I turned my head,
and he's in front of me again
and we started fighting,
wresting... and then,
BOOM!
The End.
I see, so you two were the ones
I ratted on for stealing the painting.
What?
No, I'm just kidding.
You're such a good painter, right?
Then you can paint a fake
"Answer" painting
and take it to Champion Gallery in Malaysia.
Look for HU Ching to help you broker it.
Doesn't it solve all your problems?
HU Ching
(May Day Dance Hall)
Love is a rebellious bird.
That none can tame,
And it is well in vain that one calls it.
Brother CHU.
Are you coming to Malaysia?
You want me to help sell a painting.
OK, no problem.
(Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport)
Alright... everybody look here.
Mr. FU, what are you filming?
I used to be a filmmaker
but now I'm retired
I want to record everything on this trip.
You know the film by Ang Lee called...
Life of Pi?
Yes...
My film will be called...
Life of an old fart.
It's not funny.
How can it not be funny?
It's funny
I almost peed my pants laughing.
Yes...
We are going on a trip together
so never leave the group
and don't walk around alone
because it's very dangerous.
Please stay with the group.
We are like one big family so we have to
show understanding to one another.
You must not have too many opinions.
We have to follow the itinerary
that others planned.
Alright?
Did you hear?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sir
how come you are standing alone?
I'm your tour guide,
my name is Wang Yuan-Jia.
Sir, what is your name?
Miss, are you talking to me.
No, I'm talking to your tour guide.
What is your name?
How should I call you?
Chen, C-H-E
C.H. YEN
Are you related to C.. YEN?
This isn't a common name, Mr. YEN.
No, sorry! That's not what I meant.
I know,
you're thinking that
I'm not being familiar enough, right?
Your name is C.H. YEN
so I'll call you Little YEN.
Little CHEN, yes... Call me Little CHEN.
Little YEN, alright.
Yes, Little CHEN
I'll call you Little YEN.
Call me Little CHEN.
Mr. YEN.
Young man, please
help me find my seat.
You're at 38F.
How do you know I'm at 38F?
It's written here.
They now write on boarding pass
our bra sizes?
Hurry up!
Please, people in the front should hurry
up! Others in the back can't move at all.
Miss, please help me to check in
where are we sitting?
Let me see...
Your're C here
(Taiwanese: You die here)
Your husband is D
(Taiwanese: Your husband is a pig)
Are you insulting me?
How can you be so impolite?
You mother fucker!
You're insulting me...
You're insulting
I'm insulting the wife of your father.
Ms. Man-Yi.
OK
I'll look for my seat myself.
Honey, where are you going?
You're C (Taiwanese: You die here)
And I"m D (I am a pig)
Alright... I'll just die here.
You're pig-headed,
everybody can see that.
Yes, everybody can see that, please sit...
I guess this "Answer"
painting doesn't look like it's fake.
(Singapore Changi Airport)
Alright, welcome to Singapore.
Come, follow my flag.
CHU Yue-Po is sticked to me
like super glue.
Disgusting.
Who is she?
Where is Mr. CHIA?
Weren't you together just now?
Where is he?
No...
On this trip, we stick with the group
and look out for one another,
we don't want to affect each others
I'm sorry
I'm hard of hearing,
I didn't hear you, I'm sorry?
Why didn't you call me?
I called you
I called you many times.
What? What are you saying?
Stop the car!
People say you sleep when you get on
the bus and takes piss when you get off.
But I think you shouldn't sleep
when you get on the bus.
You can admire the sea when you're on
a boat and the scenery when you're on a bus.
The Singapore scenery is so beautiful,
sleeping would be such a shame, right?
Miss Wang
what is this place?
How come It's so bustling?
There?
It's Vivo City, a huge shopping center.
It seems they have an event today
called play something.
Cosplay.
Cosplay.
Costume play.
How come your English is so good?
I understand a little.
Can we go have a look?
You want to go check it out?
Yes.
Alright, we can stop here for half an hour.
What?
What are you saying?
Young man,
You have to be happy on a vacation.
Can you help me?
What?
Actually.
I'm on a mission
and must hide from my identity.
Let me tell you,
I used to be in that business.
My code name was.
Whampoa Number 1.
Whampoa Number 1.
Don't tell anybody.
Alright, then.
Can you cover me?
I'll cover you until the end,
because We're family.
You want me to help you shower?
No, I want to hide my identity.
OK, hurry...
They're all gone.
Who are you?
Why are you hiding in there?
I'm followed by a killer.
Do you owe him money?
Yes
I know.
And why are you dressed like that?
There's an event inside.
Cosplay.
Cosplay?
Can you help me get inside?
Let's go!
Let's take pictures...
Honey
I'm back,
is dinner ready?
Honey, Let's go check it out...
Let's take pictures
Peter Pan and Kung Fu Panda.
What is he dressed in?
It must be a ninja from a Japanese movie.
Why doesn't anybody
take pictures with him?
He doesn't look like the real thing.
How do you know?
I saw the movie.
CHU Yue-Po.
What was that?
It's a performance! Quick, take pictures!
Isn't this Chaplin the person I saw before?
Bruce Lee must be is creditor
I'll help him.
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting, calm down!
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Oh ya
I get blisters.
That was amazing.
Cool.
I'm perplexed by what you said.
You ask me to cover you,
then you cover someone else.
We're covering back and forth.
So who are we covering exactly?
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Alright
don't be sad
I'm not blaming you,
I'll cover you until the end.
Actually
I just remembered my father.
He used to often take me to the movies.
And now?
He passed away.
He kept on refusing to see me
because I lost all our family's money.
Please, stop crying.
You look ugly when you cry
100,000 dollars...
Killing...
Baby
keep calling.
Alright...
You really should stop crying,
you look really ugly
and I don't understand
a damn single word you're saying.
Look, It's pissing me off because of you.
Alright, don't cry,
otherwise I'll have a stroke.
Kid
I'm Dr. Chen.
From today onwards,
call me daddy.
Slow down...
It's dangerous on rainy days, slow down!
You're ridiculous,
I haven't started driving yet.
By the way,
where do you want to go?
(Malaysia Kuala lumpur
international airport)
(Champion Gallery)
It must be here.
HU Ching.
HU Ching.
What are you doing lit... boy?
I'm sorry,
I confused you with someone else.
Pervert.
Mr. CHU, you're here.
HU Ching.
Little YEN...
We're taking the tour bus to go to dinner.
How come you're dressed up like that?
Aren't you hot?
You recognized me dressed like that?
Oh please.
You're so chic,
how can I not recognize you.
What are you doing with this toilet paper?
Toilet paper.
What's wrong?
My stomach hurts.
Too late
Mr. YEN
I'll cover you...
Stop!
Mr. YEN, what a coincidence!
Let's go eat.
What's wrong?
I'm covering...
He said he is feeling cold.
He is feeling cold,
can he still come along with us?
How can he if he is unwell?
This must be where CHU Chung-Tian lives.
Stop asking me about
the whereabouts of CHU Chung-Tian
I won't tell you that he went to find
HU Ching at Champion Gallery in Malaysia.
This message wasn't left by Manager Ying.
Malaysia.
Auntie Lotto.
Blackie,
why did you hang up on me?
Next.
Dr. WU.
Can you ask the nurse to leave?
Let me have a look.
What are you doing?
Didn't you... hit the jackpot?
It's not me, It's my dad.
Your father?
He's 80, how could he?
No, It's not that kind of "jackpot".
My dad is 80 and he won the Super Lottery.
Super Lottery.
He's old
I'm afraid his heart won't take it
when he hears the news
and he'll just croak.
How much did he win?
80 million.
A bit higher
88 million.
A bit more higher
800 million.
This is too much, It's too much.
And where is your father?
Ask him to come in
I have experience,
we can proceed step by step.
Thank you!
Uncle!
Dr. WU.
Mr. CHIAN, come.
You asked for me.
Please, have a seat... You're quite sturdy.
How's your health?
I do exercise.
Heart is good.
Thanks to exercise.
Mr. CHIAN, there is one thing
I need to ask you.
What would you do
if you won 800 million?
It's impossible, I don't buy them.
With my luck, I couldn't win,
how is it possible?
I'm saying "if" you win 800 million.
What would you do?
Tell you what, if I won 800 million.
I would keep 400 million,
and would give
the other 400 million to you.
(Oh my god...)
Outside the pavilion,
by the side of the old road,
the grass is green and lush.
The evening wind
brings echoes of the flute,
the sun sets behind the mountains.
Mr. CHU, "Answer" is currently
the hottest painting on the market.
Of course we have buyers but.
Are you sure It's real?
Of course It's real.
Mr. CHU,
It's best if you are honest with me
I'm helping you with this,
so It's as if I was tying
my existence to yours.
We can make money together.
Of course.
And we shoulder responsibilities together.
Sure.
Mr. CHU, What's wrong?
I have to go to the bathroom.
CHU Chung-Tian,
you don't soar when It's time
and you soar when It's not the time.
Ah.
Don't slap my face.
Hello, HU Ching.
Hi, you old satyr.
What do you mean "satyr"?
Don't you remember,
you ran into the ladies restroom.
Restroom?
Do you remember?
I helped you get back to your room.
Alright, don't go thinking too much.
Hurry up and dress nicely,
we're meeting a client today.
OK... I'll be over soon.
She undressed me
but didn't take off my shorts.
Ching-Ching,
if this painting is found
after evaluation to be a fake
you know retribution will be severe.
Of course I know,
I wouldn't dare tricking you, Mr. CHANG.
A real work of art requires
time to gain in value.
Alright
I'll give you three days
to take this piece and ask around,
then come back after
I hope It's not fake.
Of course not.
To our partnership.
To our partnership.
Thank you Mr. CHANG.
See you soon.
Alright.
I kiss you goodbye, in
the frenzy of the night.
My heart readies itself for sorrows
I'm sorry.
Does it mean that "Answer" is.
The painting is.
A fake.
It's fake, then.
Where is the real one?
I already took care of it.
The real painting is with my father.
So the painting is with your father.
I don't know.
My father is already dead.
He probably left it to
his spendthrift son to sell at a loss.
So the painting is with his son
I don't know.
OK, It's alright
you said you took care of it.
How did you take care of it?
OK, so is the painting
was with your father
or It's with his son?
I don't know.
How can you not know?
Mr. CHU, say something,
stop kidding, Mr. CHU.
Mr. CHU, say something.
Mr. CHU, at least make a sound, alright?
Make a sound!
And suddenly I discovered your face.
You were a stranger,
nothing will be as before
Miss.
Yes, can I help you?
What is the fastest way to
get to Malaysia from here?
By plane,
many people in Singapore
go to Malaysia by plane.
Is there a cheaper way?
Yes, can you walk in those shoes?
You want me to walk to Malaysia?
No...
Here,
walk outside.
There is a taxi stand.
Next to it, there is a traffic light.
After crossing the traffic light,
there is an overpass.
After the overpass,
you will see an auntie
that sells newspapers.
Don't ask her, She's troublesome.
Ask her son instead.
Behind her son, there will be a sign.
On the sign, you'll see
"Bus to Malaysia here".
Don't take it, It's run by a swindler.
Walk 30 to 35 meters.
There will be a big sign.
You'll see "Bus to Malaysia".
That's the real thing.
Enjoy your trip.
If you can't find it,
come back and ask me, OK?
This is a simple age.
Nothing I can do
were crying all the time
we are forgetting our identity.
In this modern society.
People believe thoughtlessly.
That deception is not a crime.
And money is prime.
In this world full of fakeness.
Loss and responsibility
taught us to stay awake.
Now and tomorrow.
We'll never follow again.
The nights filled with ache.
In this world full of fakeness.
Learn to protect yourself
for your own sake.
That's ok
Are we in Malaysia yet?
Not yet
I won't give him another opportunity.
Weird
how come I smell durian?
Don't you agree?
(Not Enough Money Hotel)
(Malay)
Are you Japanese?
No...
Chinese.
Welcome to the Not Enough Money Hotel.
We have the following rooms.
(Categories and price per night
Rich person: You wouldn't even stay here)
(Pretend to be rich person: 90 ringgits
Not a rich person: 30 ringgits)
Give me a "not a rich person" room.
One "not a rich person" room!
There is no shower and toilet in the room.
It's over there.
Enjoy your stay.
Are there any department
stores around here?
I need to buy some props.
You're making a film, right?
What?
There's a department store
right outside here.
Turn left at the traffic light.
There will be a department store,
It's everything you need.
("Everything you need" department store)
I think I need to put on a costume
to look like an art collector
I'll use the pretext of collecting.
CHU Chung-Tian's paintings
to get close to him.
That's how I'll have a chance to kill him.
That's right, I'll do that.
You're making movies.
Tea.
Enjoy.
(Blackie)
This is my autographed picture.
The hell with your autographed picture,
I want a tip.
(Champion Gallery)
If what you say is true,
the painting might be in the hands of
one of these collectors.
Maybe...
Excuse me,
who is the curator, Ms.HU Ching?
That's me.
Hello, you are so pretty.
Shit.
How should I call you?
I'm YEN.
Mr. YEN, hello
I'm from Taiwan
I bought a painting from
a certain CHU Chung-Tian.
This is CHU Chung-Tian.
Hello... It's a pleasure
I'm followed by a killer.
One moment please, I have to get this call.
The guy who is trying to kill me
is here, what do I do?
Sir, one moment please.
You are not dressed properly,
you cannot come in
I'll take care of it.
Go check out Mr. YEN's painting.
OK
You're not dressed properly,
you can't come in.
Then what do I have to wear to come in?
You need to wear a suit and tie.
Like this?
You're cheating, your suit is painted on.
You must have watched
too many movies by Stephen CHOW.
That's the highest form of art.
It's called body painting,
do you understand?
I've lived in Hong Kong for many years.
What?
You can't go in.
You can't go in.
Wait.
Hi handsome, are you alright?
Yes.
You're so funny.
I love people with a sense of humor.
I love people with a sense of humor.
I'm in luck.
You're so manly.
You're so nice.
You think I'm nice? Then.
Go outside and wait for me.
You can't move,
I'll meet up with you in a while.
Mr. YEN.
Mr. YEN.
Mr. YEN.
Yes...
Hello...
Hello
I'm sorry, may I ask...
Did you bring the painting
you just mentioned?
Yes.
I have been looking for you
to talk to you about the artistic
conception of this painting.
It's such a coincidence.
Let's go inside to talk.
It's quieter with nobody inside.
Nobody inside?
Nobody...
Excellent.
Excellent.
OK... Let's go inside to talk.
Yes... this way please.
Dr. YEN, please have a seat.
Let me prepare a cup of tea for you.
Yes... Doctors tend to be neat freaks.
I'm sorry...
From your work,
we can see that your paintings
have a sense of broadness.
This is extremely helpful
for my patients with depression.
Really?
So I want to see more of your work
I want to buy everything.
Of course, no problem.
But this painting needs a little repair
to make it even more beautiful.
It's already very beautiful.
Just a little repair.
It's not necessary.
Just a little repair.
It's not necessary
Dr. YEN, -Just a touch.
It's OK
I'll help schedule another meeting
between the two of you
I'll confirm with you
the time and place.
What the..
My God, what kind of place is that?
People live here?
Is he a real doctor or just a quack?
If He's real,
I guess he hastens his patient's demise.
Never mind, I have
to get the painting first.
It stinks!
With so much money, how can the doctor
stay in a place like this?
What a lame doctor.
Where is the painting?
Honey,
I'm back,
is dinner ready?
This is so scary.
Don't move! You're still moving!
I said don't move, don't you understand?
Time for push up, one down, two up.
One, Two.
One, Two.
One, Two.
One, Two.
Hi.
Hello.
Since I was a child,
I always wanted to be a policeman.
You've come at the right time.
Shit!
You think you're the star
and that the whole world
awaits for you, go!
Stage Manager YANG, I'm sorry
I'll go immediately, I'm sorry.
You're making a movie?
A movie? For Pete's sake!
I think I saw you in a movie.
A movie? For Pete's sake!
Earth is very dangerous,
you must return to Mars quickly.
It's been many years since I played soccer
I used to be a trainer, did you know?
How could he hit the mark?
He's not Golden Leg.
Let's see how far you'll run now.
In truth, I don't have the money
and the painting is not with me
I only have my life,
you can take it.
Only your life.
Alright...
Actually, a certain Dr. YEN
has the painting.
What Dr. YEN?
His painting is actually
a painting in a painting.
A painting in a painting?
If we swindle the painting
from him and sell it
I can give you back the money.
Are you lying to me?
If you're lying, I'll kill you.
OK, if I'm lying, you can kill me.
By the way, you just got out of the prison.
I haven't properly welcomed you.
Let's go have a drink.
Ms. HU,
you're too good to me.
It's been a long time
since someone treated me so well.
Here, Let's have another drink.
Alright.
Dr. YEN
do you have a family?
My family.
Guests at table
can come to the stage to sing
Dr. YEN
I'll go sing a song for you.
If I can hold your hand tightly once again
I will never let it go.
I will cuddle against you like a child,
tenderly, warmly.
If I can gently touch
your face once again.
I will burst into tears.
I will cuddle against you like a child,
tenderly, without worries.
I cannot calm down.
It feels like I can hear your heart beating.
Kissing you tenderly.
Dad.
Get out!
I need a bit more.
I'm gonna make a move now.
Looking at you tenderly.
Holding you tightly.
I want to let the whole world know
I love you.
Young master
your father is dying.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm your partner in this
but you tell HU Ching I LOVE YOU.
I'm the one who should say
I LOVE YOU to her.
Let's see who will be the first
to mount her
bed.
HU Ching
I will first mount you
your bed.
How come I'm here.
Where's my coat?
It's here.
I drank too much.
Little Ching-Ching.
Little Ching-Ching.
Where are you?
Little Ching-Ching,
I'm here to mount your
your bed.
Little Ching-Ching.
Little Ching-Ching,
how come you have a beard.
You freaking bearded man!
I'll pinch you, I'll strangle you,
I'll crush you to death.
Go to hell
I'll pinch you to death.
There's a mouse, right?
Yes.
I'll go get rat poison.
Wait for me.
Rat poison.
Why didn't I think of that?
Rat poison is very convenient.
You're really making a movie.
You're making a movie.
Why doesn't she answer my calls?
Hello, Yue-Po,
It's all because you were too impatient.
You scarred HU Ching and now
she doesn't answer my calls.
Oh please.
You were in a hurry to
jump on her bed yourself.
Who are you kidding?
Kidding? For Pete's sake!
Now we can't act individually.
We have to take action together
and we have to put up a play
for his benefit.
First, We'll do this.
I D%&& @ I D%&...
Do you understand?
Will it work?
Of course it will work,
That's what We'll do.
Dr. YEN, I want to organize
a personal exhibition
and would like to borrow this painting.
You're being contradictory
I've come a long way
from Taiwan to buy your paintings
so how can you ask me to lend you one?
This is the first time
I organize a personal exhibition
and I would like it to be perfect.
It's a bit hot here.
Yes...
Let me get you a bottle of water.
Excuse me
is there a CHU Chung-Tian here?
It's me.
This man looks familiar.
Isn't he his creditor?
What can I do for you?
It's so coincidence.
Ever since my car accident,
I haven't had any feelings in my legs
I've started feeling
low self-esteem and I felt depressed
I've heard that your paintings
help bring emotional appeasement.
Can I have a look at them?
Dr. YEN
I'm really thirsty
I'll go get a bottle of water, excuse me.
Alright...
Alright...
Aren't you overdoing it?
Why?
All of my hopes rest on this rat poison.
Mr. CHU weather is hot,
have some water.
You're feeling hot, you can have it
I already drank one bottle outside
I'm sorry for giving you so much trouble.
I have a call.
Chian-Ren,
what do you want?
This can wait after I return to Singapore
I'm in Malaysia now.
Alright... Don't call again, That's it.
Drink!
He's crazy. Don't mind him.
Don't worry about him.
Hurry up and drink!
Mr. CHU.
Didn't you say that Mr. YEN
has one of your paintings
that is really beautiful?
Can I have a look?
Dr. YEN, you look like
you're still hot, drink some water
I've already had some outside,
you drink it.
Alright...
Hurry up and drink!
By the way, last time
you mentioned that my paintings
can smooth people's emotions,
but I still can't believe it.
If what the old man said is true
why don't you show us the painting?
Maybe it can cure his depression
and help him regain confidence, right?
Open it.
Open it.
Of course, no problem.
Good
I'm a doctor, to cure a disease,
you have to go to the root of the problem
I'll see what I can do.
What is he doing?
Dr. YEN.
If you can't feel anything in your legs,
I'll beat you to a pulp.
Dr. YEN
I'm sorry...
You can have faith in my skills.
So?
Do you feel anything?
No, I don't feel anything.
Look, he really doesn't feel anything.
It's very severe.
Yes, it's severe.
Never mind, I'll take him to see a doctor.
But I'm a doctor
I know.
I'll try this
I'll take him to see a doctor.
Let's see if you can take it.
You don't feel anything, right?
No...
Yes...
So?
Do you feel anything?
No, I don't feel anything
- I don't feel anything.
- Does it hurt?
No.
He doesn't feel anything
I'll take him to the hospital.
Dr. YEN, let him see your painting
Dr. YEN
Dr. YEN.
If he doesn't feel anything with this,
then There's no hope.
Doctor...
Are you ready.
NO...
Let me drink water first.
He should be alright after drinking water.
He's OK...
His legs really don't feel anything.
Right...
There's nothing I can do so I'll go.
No
Dr. YEN, lend me your painting
and I'll return it after the exhibition.
Let me think about it
I'll definitely give it back
after the exhibition.
Let me think about it.
Don't think about it, lend it to me
I have to think about it.
Don't think, trust me
I have to think about it
I can't hold it any longer.
(Not Enough Money)
You almost killed me.
How could I have known
There's fake rat poison?
You're worth nothing dead,
He's worth more.
Why?
You painted the painting
that my father left me.
If you die, this painting will gain value.
You're the son of CHEN Chin-Fu?
Why is your name YEN?
To kill you,
I had to change my appearance
and my name.
Change? For Pete's sake!
Since you're the son of CHEN Chin-Fu
I'll tell you the secret
behind this painting.
No...
His father is my benefactor.
How could I keep him in the dark?
Why is this painting so important?
I've kicked out my son
but he still doesn't
understand why I did it
if one day he understands
the real meaning of this painting
he will understand
my expectations towards him.
(A painting in a painting)
So my father didn't really
want to break off our relationship.
Now you understand.
Your father loved you.
He didn't get to tell you before he died.
So what is the real meaning
of this painting?
There is another painting inside.
The answer is in this painting.
What is that?
CHANG Lao-Chian's
most famous painting, the answer is...
Father and son.
So my father never gave up on me?
He adopted me and treated me like his own
let alone you are is biological child.
(Father and son)
(CHIA Po-Chi)
Mr. CHIA, your information is incomplete.
Mr. CHIA, Ms. CHIA.
Where did the two of them go?
What games are they playing?
I'm sorry... I'm late.
It's OK, where is Mr. CHIA?
I called him two or three times
but he didn't hear me.
Is that so?
You're strange.
There are so many people in the group,
why do you always ask me to get him?
He's your husband,
you must look out for him.
Don't talk nonsense,
He's not my husband.
He's not your husband?
So how come you sleep together?
You arranged the room for us
and said we have to comply
during the trip.
It is best not to have opinions.
We had to follow your arrangements.
So you're not married?
That's too much!
Honey, are you sure?
We are ready to board the plane.
If the tour guide finds out
Little Chen is not on the plane
what are we going to do?
What do you mean,
what are we going to do?
We have to cover for him until the end.
What's there to be afraid of?
Mr. CHIA.
She's not your wife,
why didn't you say anything?
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you tell me?
I did, many times,
even though I'm not your wife.
What? What are you saying?
Hush
Mr. YEN?
Mr. YEN?
Mr. YEN is not on the plane?
Mr. YEN...
Hush...
Nobody moves!
Police.
Nobody moves!
How come there are so many policemen?
Are you making a movie?
Who is CHEN Mo?
Raise your hand.
Me.
Come with me.
How come you only come for me.
They.
Right.
Your tour guide reported you as missing.
Members of the group said
you were in Malaysia.
We will escort you back to Taiwan.
Before going back to Taiwan
can you give the three of us
a bit more time?
Auntie Lottery,
Blackie hasn't come back.
How I can I give you your baby back?
Did you take care of it?
Look.
Boss.
You're quite something!
If you can't find work,
come and work for me.
I didn't expect you to be so cool.
Give her back her baby,
I keep my promise.
We hit the jackpot this time.
My baby, my baby.
Auntie Lottery, now I feel better.
Thank you!
Baby
how come You've lost weight.
Before going back to Taiwan
can you give the three of us
a bit more time?
What do you want?
Don't do anything foolish.
Don't sacrifice me for money and a painting.
Don't blame me.
I have no choice.
Don't move.
Hurry up, It's tickling.
Don't move... OK...
Hurry, my skin is sensitive
I'll get a rash.
OK, OK
Hold on...
Hold on for what?
Hurry.
OK, I'm finished.
Then take a picture, hurry.
It looks real.
Doesn't it?
Not bad...
(One Year Later)
I know.
Back then, Brigitte married
someone else out of spite for me.
Do you know how hurt I was?
And Maggie didn't understand me
Maggie didn't understand me.
What's Patty HOU to me!
But I know that in this lifetime,
Phyllis will never leave me alone
(Here Comes the Money Pawn Shop)
Here, it's worth 100,000 dollars
100,000 dollars?
How is that possible?
How about you give me a bit more
for the sake of my father?
My dad's offering you 100,000 dollars
out of respect for your father.
You can always try to sell it elsewhere.
Mr. CHIAN, please give me a bit more.
Let me tell you, your father was Hakka.
He saved up for his family,
but then he had you, the spendthrift son.
You pawned everything.
Now, this is the only thing left,
yet you want to pawn it.
Do you have anything left after that?
100,000 dollars, do you want it or not?
OK
100,000 dollars, alright.
It's a lot of money...
(Love in north coast)
Back then, Brigitte married someone
else out of spite for me.
Do you know how hurt I was?
And Maggie didn't understand me
Maggie didn't understand me.
Up to now, A-Mei stares at me all day
She stares at me all day.
That's right! What's Patty HOU to me!
But I know that in this lifetime,
Phyllis will never leave me alone.
Why doesn't Phyllis let me go?
Please come with us.
Shit! It's so hot!
You stole my clothes!
(Syphilis Treatment Clinic)
Phyllis! Let me go, Phyllis!
I'll have... anything is fine.
OK
Blackie, here, It's on the house.
Do you want a beer?
No thanks,
my wife doesn't like me drinking.
Whatever...
The hell with it.
Just one beer.
OK
Here.
Bottoms up!

You.
Struck.
Gold

even patronize
my business.
Alright, just give me
a little bit of everything, OK?
Blackie, I'm really touched!
Cheers to you!
Didn't you say your wife
doesn't let you drink?
Women shouldn't meddle
in men's business.
I respect her,
I'll down another beer in your honor.
Your wife's here.
What the heck is that?
Call me sister...
Blackie
I saw a bunch of thugs coming here.
Really?
I think they are looking for you.
Do you owe them money?
You better leave now.
Alright.
Goodbye.

Do you want to buy a lottery ticket?
The prize is 800 million!
800 million?
Then help me choose
whichever combination.
OK
Here you go.
Hope you win the jackpot!
Ah ah ah! Great!
Tell our boss you don't have money
but you have enough to buy lottery.
Damn it!
I'll kill you.
Search him to see
how much money is left.
There's nothing.
Boss, There's no money? Boss...
Boss, we really can't find any money.
Don't you know that the people
in wheelchair
all work for us?
Damn, you're really stupid.
Give me another chance,
boss, please
I've given you one chance
after an other.
If I don't teach you a lesson today,
how can I be accountable to my boss?
Hit him!
Wait!
How much does he owe you guys?
Not much,
Hit him!
Wait...
Do you have shit for brains!
Why didn't you mention it earlier?
Take this, and keep the change.
Consider it a tip.
What is that?
2 grand.
Do you take me for a bellboy?
You think my boss is stupid?
I meant 18 million.
Help me!
Today is the fiftieth anniversary

Give me one more chance, boss, please!
After the artist passed away.

His paintings worth has increase 10 time, 100
times, 1,000 times -Blackie was good to us.
Why not give him another chance.
Please.
Please, boss...
Yes, sir.
Alright, get up.
You only have one way out now.
Didn't your father leave you
a painting after he died?
Alright, all you onlookers can get lost.
Go, what are you looking at?
Are you guys deaf?
Go now.
It's really easy.
Just go and get rid of the artist.
Our organization will speculate
to increase the value of the painting
so you won't have to pay us back.
With luck,
you might even make a small profit.
Auntie Lottery
don't you want to help him?
I'll give you a chance.
Thank you.
Hey! What are you doing?
Stop it!
Get out!
What are you doing in my store?
She's an old lady, stop it!
My baby! Why do you take my baby!
I'll give you a week to get this done.
Then, I'll give Auntie
Lottery her baby back.
This has nothing to do with her.
Please, leave her out of this.
Oh yes, remember,
take photos as a proof.
What?
My baby.
Boss!
My baby.
What do I do now?
What do you mean
"What do I do now?"
He's telling you to go
kill that guy, just go!
Kill someone!?
I'm not that crazy.
Yes you are

100,000 dollars to get the picture back
but I only have a few dollars left.
Please.
Here is 60,000.
You didn't shower? You smell like shit!
It's his money.
My God! How could this be?
You deserve to be beaten up
if you owe money.
It's none of my business.
They came here this morning
and almost beat me up.
Thank God my dad protected me Daddy!
How about I also give you this.
What is that?
Are you collecting garbage now?
Take that away.
Then I'll also give you this.
The prize is now worth 800 million
800 million?
The draw hasn't even taken place.
It hasn't...
Do you think I'm stupid?
If I don't take this money now,
I'll probably never get any more from you.
It smells horrible.
Here's the painting.
We'll keep the frame.
Can you help me look it up
the address of the painter CHU Chung-Tian?
This is a free service.
CHU Chung-Tian has an address

E-I-E-I-O
- Mr. CHU, express delivery! E-I-E-I-O.
- I heard you!
Stop screaming, I heard you!
Mr. CHU come down
and pick up your delivery.
You're affecting my business
and It's making me angry
I got lots of customers, tall ones,
short ones, fat ones, thin ones.
If you don't come down now,
just wait and see.
Don't say my meat buns have no meat,
my thick meat slices aren't thick
I have everything here,
so why worry about not having enough to eat
Mr. CHU, express delivery
for you E-I-E-I-O.
For Pete's sake, What's all the fuss about?
If you sing so well,
why don't you make a record?
What's the problem?
There's someone to see you.
Chian-Ren,
What's up? Why in a hurry?
Our gallery is trying to free up some space.
Your paintings aren't selling
and they take up space
so I brought them back to you,
and you saved on delivery.
Chian-Ren...
Chian-Ren...
How about you help me...
(The Thinker)
At the very least, I am a fine steed
who hasn't found the right jockey.
Where is my jockey?
CHU Yue-Po!
Isn't he supposed to be in jail?
How come you're here already?
I escaped today
If it wasn't for my commission,
I would have revealed long ago
that we stole the painting together.
I know that you value loyalty
but I already sold that painting.
I really sold that painting.
Do you think that I'm like you?
No father, no mother,
you just have to worry about yourself.
It's only money that I owe you.
You don't have to say hurtful things.
Say hurtful things?
I can also do hurtful things.
OK
You asked for it.
How come
It's not like what I imagined?
It's not that bad!

Gao Ai Pang Shou Breakfast Shop.
Manager YING.
CHU Chung-Tian,
What's with the avant-garde look?
Manager YING, I need you.
But
I have a girlfriend
and I've just knocked her.
Go to hell! You got the wrong idea.
Didn't you just asked Chian-Ren
to return the painting to me, right?
After taking it back, I was very angry
so I ran upstairs and took off my bathrobe.
After taking it off, I pondered on a chair
I sat like that...
I opened and Yue-Po was there
I turned my head,
and he's in front of me again
and we started fighting,
wresting... and then,
BOOM!
The End.
I see, so you two were the ones
I ratted on for stealing the painting.
What?
No, I'm just kidding.
You're such a good painter, right?
Then you can paint a fake
"Answer" painting
and take it to Champion Gallery in Malaysia.
Look for HU Ching to help you broker it.
Doesn't it solve all your problems?

Alright... everybody look here.
Mr. FU, what are you filming?
I used to be a filmmaker
but now I'm retired
I want to record everything on this trip.
You know the film by Ang Lee called...
Life of Pi?
Yes...
My film will be called...
Life of an old fart.
It's not funny.
How can it not be funny?
It's funny
I almost peed my pants laughing.
Yes...
We are going on a trip together
so never leave the group
and don't walk around alone
because it's very dangerous.
Please stay with the group.
We are like one big family so we have to
show understanding to one another.
You must not have too many opinions.
We have to follow the itinerary
that others planned.
Alright?
Did you hear?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sir
how come you are standing alone?
I'm your tour guide,

Are you related to C.. YEN?
This isn't a common name, Mr. YEN.
No, sorry! That's not what I meant.
I know,
you're thinking that
I'm not being familiar enough, right?
Your name is C.H. YEN
so I'll call you Little YEN.
Little CHEN, yes... Call me Little CHEN.
Little YEN, alright.
Yes, Little CHEN
I'll call you Little YEN.
Call me Little CHEN.

OK
I'll look for my seat myself.
Honey, where are you going?

(Singapore Changi Airport)
Alright, welcome to Singapore.
Come, follow my flag.
CHU Yue-Po is sticked to me
like super glue.
Disgusting.
Who is she?
Where is Mr. CHIA?
Weren't you together just now?
Where is he?
No...
On this trip, we stick with the group
and look out for one another,
we don't want to affect each others
I'm sorry
I'm hard of hearing,
I didn't hear you, I'm sorry?
Why didn't you call me?
I called you
I called you many times.
What? What are you saying?
Stop the car!
People say you sleep when you get on
the bus and takes piss when you get off.
But I think you shouldn't sleep
when you get on the bus.
You can admire the sea when you're on
a boat and the scenery when you're on a bus.
The Singapore scenery is so beautiful,
sleeping would be such a shame, right?
Miss Wang
what is this place?
How come It's so bustling?
There?
It's Vivo City, a huge shopping center.

You want to go check it out?
Yes.

What?
What are you saying?
Young man,
You have to be happy on a vacation.
Can you help me?
What?

Can you cover me?
I'll cover you until the end,
because We're family.
You want me to help you shower?
No, I want to hide my identity.
OK, hurry...
They're all gone.
Who are you?
Why are you hiding in there?
I'm followed by a killer.
Do you owe him money?
Yes
I know.
And why are you dressed like that?
There's an event inside.
Cosplay.
Cosplay?
Can you help me get inside?
Let's go!
Let's take pictures...
Honey
I'm back,
is dinner ready?
Honey, Let's go check it out...
Let's take pictures
Peter Pan and Kung Fu Panda.
What is he dressed in?
It must be a ninja from a Japanese movie.
Why doesn't anybody
take pictures with him?
He doesn't look like the real thing.
How do you know?
I saw the movie.
CHU Yue-Po.
What was that?
It's a performance! Quick, take pictures!
Isn't this Chaplin the person I saw before?
Bruce Lee must be is creditor
I'll help him.
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting, calm down!
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Oh ya
I get blisters.
That was amazing.
Cool.
I'm perplexed by what you said.
You ask me to cover you,
then you cover someone else.
We're covering back and forth.
So who are we covering exactly?
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Alright
don't be sad
I'm not blaming you,
I'll cover you until the end.
Actually
I just remembered my father.
He used to often take me to the movies.
And now?
He passed away.
He kept on refusing to see me
because I lost all our family's money.
Please, stop crying.
You look ugly when you cry
100,000 dollars...
Killing...
Baby
keep calling.
Alright...
You really should stop crying,
you look really ugly
and I don't understand
a damn single word you're saying.
Look, It's pissing me off because of you.
Alright, don't cry,
otherwise I'll have a stroke.
Kid
I'm Dr. Chen.
From today onwards,
call me daddy.
Slow down...
It's dangerous on rainy days, slow down!
You're ridiculous,
I haven't started driving yet.
By the way,
where do you want to go?
(Malaysia Kuala lumpur
international airport)
(Champion Gallery)
It must be here.
HU Ching.
HU Ching.
What are you doing lit... boy?
I'm sorry,
I confused you with someone else.
Pervert.
Mr. CHU, you're here.
HU Ching.
Little YEN...
We're taking the tour bus to go to dinner.
How come you're dressed up like that?
Aren't you hot?
You recognized me dressed like that?
Oh please.
You're so chic,
how can I not recognize you.
What are you doing with this toilet paper?
Toilet paper.
What's wrong?
My stomach hurts.
Too late
Mr. YEN
I'll cover you...
Stop!
Mr. YEN, what a coincidence!
Let's go eat.
What's wrong?
I'm covering...
He said he is feeling cold.
He is feeling cold,
can he still come along with us?
How can he if he is unwell?
This must be where CHU Chung-Tian lives.
Stop asking me about
the whereabouts of CHU Chung-Tian
I won't tell you that he went to find
HU Ching at Champion Gallery in Malaysia.
This message wasn't left by Manager Ying.
Malaysia.
Auntie Lotto.
Blackie,
why did you hang up on me?
Next.
Dr. WU.
Can you ask the nurse to leave?
Let me have a look.
What are you doing?
Didn't you... hit the jackpot?
It's not me, It's my dad.
Your father?
He's 80, how could he?
No, It's not that kind of "jackpot".
My dad is 80 and he won the Super Lottery.
Super Lottery.
He's old
I'm afraid his heart won't take it
when he hears the news
and he'll just croak.
How much did he win?
80 million.
A bit higher
88 million.
A bit more higher
800 million.
This is too much, It's too much.
And where is your father?
Ask him to come in
I have experience,
we can proceed step by step.
Thank you!
Uncle!
Dr. WU.
Mr. CHIAN, come.
You asked for me.
Please, have a seat... You're quite sturdy.
How's your health?
I do exercise.
Heart is good.
Thanks to exercise.
Mr. CHIAN, there is one thing
I need to ask you.
What would you do
if you won 800 million?
It's impossible, I don't buy them.
With my luck, I couldn't win,
how is it possible?
I'm saying "if" you win 800 million.
What would you do?
Tell you what, if I won 800 million.
I would keep 400 million,
and would give
the other 400 million to you.
(Oh my god...)
Outside the pavilion,
by the side of the old road,
the grass is green and lush.
The evening wind
brings echoes of the flute,
the sun sets behind the mountains.
Mr. CHU, "Answer" is currently
the hottest painting on the market.
Of course we have buyers but.
Are you sure It's real?
Of course It's real.
Mr. CHU,
It's best if you are honest with me
I'm helping you with this,
so It's as if I was tying
my existence to yours.
We can make money together.
Of course.
And we shoulder responsibilities together.
Sure.
Mr. CHU, What's wrong?
I have to go to the bathroom.
CHU Chung-Tian,
you don't soar when It's time
and you soar when It's not the time.
Ah.
Don't slap my face.
Hello, HU Ching.
Hi, you old satyr.
What do you mean "satyr"?
Don't you remember,
you ran into the ladies restroom.
Restroom?
Do you remember?
I helped you get back to your room.
Alright, don't go thinking too much.
Hurry up and dress nicely,
we're meeting a client today.
OK... I'll be over soon.
She undressed me
but didn't take off my shorts.
Ching-Ching,
if this painting is found
after evaluation to be a fake
you know retribution will be severe.
Of course I know,
I wouldn't dare tricking you, Mr. CHANG.
A real work of art requires
time to gain in value.
Alright
I'll give you three days
to take this piece and ask around,
then come back after
I hope It's not fake.
Of course not.
To our partnership.
To our partnership.
Thank you Mr. CHANG.
See you soon.
Alright.
I kiss you goodbye, in
the frenzy of the night.
My heart readies itself for sorrows
I'm sorry.
Does it mean that "Answer" is.
The painting is.
A fake.
It's fake, then.
Where is the real one?
I already took care of it.
The real painting is with my father.
So the painting is with your father.
I don't know.
My father is already dead.
He probably left it to
his spendthrift son to sell at a loss.
So the painting is with his son
I don't know.
OK, It's alright
you said you took care of it.
How did you take care of it?
OK, so is the painting
was with your father
or It's with his son?
I don't know.
How can you not know?
Mr. CHU, say something,
stop kidding, Mr. CHU.
Mr. CHU, say something.
Mr. CHU, at least make a sound, alright?
Make a sound!
And suddenly I discovered your face.
You were a stranger,
nothing will be as before
Miss.
Yes, can I help you?
What is the fastest way to
get to Malaysia from here?
By plane,
many people in Singapore
go to Malaysia by plane.
Is there a cheaper way?
Yes, can you walk in those shoes?
You want me to walk to Malaysia?
No...
Here,
walk outside.
There is a taxi stand.
Next to it, there is a traffic light.
After crossing the traffic light,
there is an overpass.
After the overpass,
you will see an auntie
that sells newspapers.
Don't ask her, She's troublesome.
Ask her son instead.
Behind her son, there will be a sign.
On the sign, you'll see
"Bus to Malaysia here".
Don't take it, It's run by a swindler.
Walk 30 to 35 meters.
There will be a big sign.
You'll see "Bus to Malaysia".
That's the real thing.
Enjoy your trip.
If you can't find it,
come back and ask me, OK?
This is a simple age.
Nothing I can do
were crying all the time
we are forgetting our identity.
In this modern society.
People believe thoughtlessly.
That deception is not a crime.
And money is prime.
In this world full of fakeness.
Loss and responsibility
taught us to stay awake.
Now and tomorrow.
We'll never follow again.
The nights filled with ache.
In this world full of fakeness.
Learn to protect yourself
for your own sake.
That's ok
Are we in Malaysia yet?
Not yet
I won't give him another opportunity.
Weird
how come I smell durian?
Don't you agree?
(Not Enough Money Hotel)
(Malay)
Are you Japanese?
No...
Chinese.
Welcome to the Not Enough Money Hotel.
We have the following rooms.
(Categories and price per night
Rich person: You wouldn't even stay here)
(Pretend to be rich person: 90 ringgits
Not a rich person: 30 ringgits)
Give me a "not a rich person" room.
One "not a rich person" room!
There is no shower and toilet in the room.
It's over there.
Enjoy your stay.
Are there any department
stores around here?
I need to buy some props.
You're making a film, right?
What?
There's a department store
right outside here.
Turn left at the traffic light.
There will be a department store,
It's everything you need.
("Everything you need" department store)
I think I need to put on a costume
to look like an art collector
I'll use the pretext of collecting.
CHU Chung-Tian's paintings
to get close to him.
That's how I'll have a chance to kill him.
That's right, I'll do that.
You're making movies.
Tea.
Enjoy.
(Blackie)
This is my autographed picture.
The hell with your autographed picture,
I want a tip.
(Champion Gallery)
If what you say is true,
the painting might be in the hands of
one of these collectors.
Maybe...
Excuse me,
who is the curator, Ms.HU Ching?
That's me.
Hello, you are so pretty.
Shit.
How should I call you?
I'm YEN.
Mr. YEN, hello
I'm from Taiwan
I bought a painting from
a certain CHU Chung-Tian.
This is CHU Chung-Tian.
Hello... It's a pleasure
I'm followed by a killer.
One moment please, I have to get this call.
The guy who is trying to kill me
is here, what do I do?
Sir, one moment please.
You are not dressed properly,
you cannot come in
I'll take care of it.
Go check out Mr. YEN's painting.
OK
You're not dressed properly,
you can't come in.
Then what do I have to wear to come in?
You need to wear a suit and tie.
Like this?
You're cheating, your suit is painted on.
You must have watched
too many movies by Stephen CHOW.
That's the highest form of art.
It's called body painting,
do you understand?
I've lived in Hong Kong for many years.
What?
You can't go in.
You can't go in.
Wait.
Hi handsome, are you alright?
Yes.
You're so funny.
I love people with a sense of humor.
I love people with a sense of humor.
I'm in luck.
You're so manly.
You're so nice.
You think I'm nice? Then.
Go outside and wait for me.
You can't move,
I'll meet up with you in a while.
Mr. YEN.
Mr. YEN.
Mr. YEN.
Yes...
Hello...
Hello
I'm sorry, may I ask...
Did you bring the painting
you just mentioned?
Yes.
I have been looking for you
to talk to you about the artistic
conception of this painting.
It's such a coincidence.
Let's go inside to talk.
It's quieter with nobody inside.
Nobody inside?
Nobody...
Excellent.
Excellent.
OK... Let's go inside to talk.
Yes... this way please.
Dr. YEN, please have a seat.
Let me prepare a cup of tea for you.
Yes... Doctors tend to be neat freaks.
I'm sorry...
From your work,
we can see that your paintings
have a sense of broadness.
This is extremely helpful
for my patients with depression.
Really?
So I want to see more of your work
I want to buy everything.
Of course, no problem.
But this painting needs a little repair
to make it even more beautiful.
It's already very beautiful.
Just a little repair.
It's not necessary.
Just a little repair.
It's not necessary
Dr. YEN, -Just a touch.
It's OK
I'll help schedule another meeting
between the two of you
I'll confirm with you
the time and place.
What the..
My God, what kind of place is that?
People live here?
Is he a real doctor or just a quack?
If He's real,
I guess he hastens his patient's demise.
Never mind, I have
to get the painting first.
It stinks!
With so much money, how can the doctor
stay in a place like this?
What a lame doctor.
Where is the painting?
Honey,
I'm back,
is dinner ready?
This is so scary.
Don't move! You're still moving!
I said don't move, don't you understand?
Time for push up, one down, two up.
One, Two.
One, Two.
One, Two.
One, Two.
Hi.
Hello.
Since I was a child,
I always wanted to be a policeman.
You've come at the right time.
Shit!
You think you're the star
and that the whole world
awaits for you, go!
Stage Manager YANG, I'm sorry
I'll go immediately, I'm sorry.
You're making a movie?
A movie? For Pete's sake!
I think I saw you in a movie.
A movie? For Pete's sake!
Earth is very dangerous,
you must return to Mars quickly.
It's been many years since I played soccer
I used to be a trainer, did you know?
How could he hit the mark?
He's not Golden Leg.
Let's see how far you'll run now.
In truth, I don't have the money
and the painting is not with me
I only have my life,
you can take it.
Only your life.
Alright...
Actually, a certain Dr. YEN
has the painting.
What Dr. YEN?
His painting is actually
a painting in a painting.
A painting in a painting?
If we swindle the painting
from him and sell it
I can give you back the money.
Are you lying to me?
If you're lying, I'll kill you.
OK, if I'm lying, you can kill me.
By the way, you just got out of the prison.
I haven't properly welcomed you.
Let's go have a drink.
Ms. HU,
you're too good to me.
It's been a long time
since someone treated me so well.
Here, Let's have another drink.
Alright.
Dr. YEN
do you have a family?
My family.
Guests at table
can come to the stage to sing
Dr. YEN
I'll go sing a song for you.
If I can hold your hand tightly once again
I will never let it go.
I will cuddle against you like a child,
tenderly, warmly.
If I can gently touch
your face once again.
I will burst into tears.
I will cuddle against you like a child,
tenderly, without worries.
I cannot calm down.
It feels like I can hear your heart beating.
Kissing you tenderly.
Dad.
Get out!
I need a bit more.
I'm gonna make a move now.
Looking at you tenderly.
Holding you tightly.
I want to let the whole world know
I love you.
Young master
your father is dying.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm your partner in this
but you tell HU Ching I LOVE YOU.
I'm the one who should say
I LOVE YOU to her.
Let's see who will be the first
to mount her
bed.
HU Ching
I will first mount you
your bed.
How come I'm here.
Where's my coat?
It's here.
I drank too much.
Little Ching-Ching.
Little Ching-Ching.
Where are you?
Little Ching-Ching,
I'm here to mount your
your bed.
Little Ching-Ching.
Little Ching-Ching,
how come you have a beard.
You freaking bearded man!
I'll pinch you, I'll strangle you,
I'll crush you to death.
Go to hell
I'll pinch you to death.
There's a mouse, right?
Yes.
I'll go get rat poison.
Wait for me.
Rat poison.
Why didn't I think of that?
Rat poison is very convenient.
You're really making a movie.
You're making a movie.
Why doesn't she answer my calls?
Hello, Yue-Po,
It's all because you were too impatient.
You scarred HU Ching and now
she doesn't answer my calls.
Oh please.
You were in a hurry to
jump on her bed yourself.
Who are you kidding?
Kidding? For Pete's sake!
Now we can't act individually.
We have to take action together
and we have to put up a play
for his benefit.
First, We'll do this.
I D%&& @ I D%&...
Do you understand?
Will it work?
Of course it will work,
That's what We'll do.
Dr. YEN, I want to organize
a personal exhibition
and would like to borrow this painting.
You're being contradictory
I've come a long way
from Taiwan to buy your paintings
so how can you ask me to lend you one?
This is the first time
I organize a personal exhibition
and I would like it to be perfect.
It's a bit hot here.
Yes...
Let me get you a bottle of water.
Excuse me
is there a CHU Chung-Tian here?
It's me.
This man looks familiar.
Isn't he his creditor?
What can I do for you?
It's so coincidence.
Ever since my car accident,
I haven't had any feelings in my legs
I've started feeling
low self-esteem and I felt depressed
I've heard that your paintings
help bring emotional appeasement.
Can I have a look at them?
Dr. YEN
I'm really thirsty
I'll go get a bottle of water, excuse me.
Alright...
Alright...
Aren't you overdoing it?
Why?
All of my hopes rest on this rat poison.
Mr. CHU weather is hot,
have some water.
You're feeling hot, you can have it
I already drank one bottle outside
I'm sorry for giving you so much trouble.
I have a call.
Chian-Ren,
what do you want?
This can wait after I return to Singapore
I'm in Malaysia now.
Alright... Don't call again, That's it.
Drink!
He's crazy. Don't mind him.
Don't worry about him.
Hurry up and drink!
Mr. CHU.
Didn't you say that Mr. YEN
has one of your paintings
that is really beautiful?
Can I have a look?
Dr. YEN, you look like
you're still hot, drink some water
I've already had some outside,
you drink it.
Alright...
Hurry up and drink!
By the way, last time
you mentioned that my paintings
can smooth people's emotions,
but I still can't believe it.
If what the old man said is true
why don't you show us the painting?
Maybe it can cure his depression
and help him regain confidence, right?
Open it.
Open it.
Of course, no problem.
Good
I'm a doctor, to cure a disease,
you have to go to the root of the problem
I'll see what I can do.
What is he doing?
Dr. YEN.
If you can't feel anything in your legs,
I'll beat you to a pulp.
Dr. YEN
I'm sorry...
You can have faith in my skills.
So?
Do you feel anything?
No, I don't feel anything.
Look, he really doesn't feel anything.
It's very severe.
Yes, it's severe.
Never mind, I'll take him to see a doctor.
But I'm a doctor
I know.
I'll try this
I'll take him to see a doctor.
Let's see if you can take it.
You don't feel anything, right?
No...
Yes...
So?
Do you feel anything?
No, I don't feel anything
- I don't feel anything.
- Does it hurt?
No.
He doesn't feel anything
I'll take him to the hospital.
Dr. YEN, let him see your painting
Dr. YEN
Dr. YEN.
If he doesn't feel anything with this,
then There's no hope.
Doctor...
Are you ready.
NO...
Let me drink water first.
He should be alright after drinking water.
He's OK...
His legs really don't feel anything.
Right...
There's nothing I can do so I'll go.
No
Dr. YEN, lend me your painting
and I'll return it after the exhibition.
Let me think about it
I'll definitely give it back
after the exhibition.
Let me think about it.
Don't think about it, lend it to me
I have to think about it.
Don't think, trust me
I have to think about it
I can't hold it any longer.
(Not Enough Money)
You almost killed me.
How could I have known
There's fake rat poison?
You're worth nothing dead,
He's worth more.
Why?
You painted the painting
that my father left me.
If you die, this painting will gain value.
You're the son of CHEN Chin-Fu?
Why is your name YEN?
To kill you,
I had to change my appearance
and my name.
Change? For Pete's sake!
Since you're the son of CHEN Chin-Fu
I'll tell you the secret
behind this painting.
No...
His father is my benefactor.
How could I keep him in the dark?
Why is this painting so important?
I've kicked out my son
but he still doesn't
understand why I did it
if one day he understands
the real meaning of this painting
he will understand
my expectations towards him.
(A painting in a painting)
So my father didn't really
want to break off our relationship.
Now you understand.
Your father loved you.
He didn't get to tell you before he died.
So what is the real meaning
of this painting?
There is another painting inside.
The answer is in this painting.
What is that?
CHANG Lao-Chian's
most famous painting, the answer is...
Father and son.
So my father never gave up on me?
He adopted me and treated me like his own
let alone you are is biological child.
(Father and son)
(CHIA Po-Chi)
Mr. CHIA, your information is incomplete.
Mr. CHIA, Ms. CHIA.
Where did the two of them go?
What games are they playing?
I'm sorry... I'm late.
It's OK, where is Mr. CHIA?
I called him two or three times
but he didn't hear me.
Is that so?
You're strange.
There are so many people in the group,
why do you always ask me to get him?
He's your husband,
you must look out for him.
Don't talk nonsense,
He's not my husband.
He's not your husband?
So how come you sleep together?
You arranged the room for us
and said we have to comply
during the trip.
It is best not to have opinions.
We had to follow your arrangements.
So you're not married?
That's too much!
Honey, are you sure?
We are ready to board the plane.
If the tour guide finds out
Little Chen is not on the plane
what are we going to do?
What do you mean,
what are we going to do?
We have to cover for him until the end.
What's there to be afraid of?
Mr. CHIA.
She's not your wife,
why didn't you say anything?
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you tell me?
I did, many times,
even though I'm not your wife.
What? What are you saying?
Hush
Mr. YEN?
Mr. YEN?
Mr. YEN is not on the plane?
Mr. YEN...
Hush...
Nobody moves!
Police.
Nobody moves!
How come there are so many policemen?
Are you making a movie?
Who is CHEN Mo?
Raise your hand.
Me.
Come with me.
How come you only come for me.
They.
Right.
Your tour guide reported you as missing.
Members of the group said
you were in Malaysia.
We will escort you back to Taiwan.
Before going back to Taiwan
can you give the three of us
a bit more time?
Auntie Lottery,
Blackie hasn't come back.
How I can I give you your baby back?
Did you take care of it?
Look.
Boss.
You're quite something!
If you can't find work,
come and work for me.
I didn't expect you to be so cool.
Give her back her baby,
I keep my promise.
We hit the jackpot this time.
My baby, my baby.
Auntie Lottery, now I feel better.
Thank you!
Baby
how come You've lost weight.
Before going back to Taiwan
can you give the three of us
a bit more time?
What do you want?
Don't do anything foolish.
Don't sacrifice me for money and a painting.
Don't blame me.
I have no choice.
Don't move.
Hurry up, It's tickling.
Don't move... OK...
Hurry, my skin is sensitive
I'll get a rash.
OK, OK
Hold on...
Hold on for what?
Hurry.
OK, I'm finished.
Then take a picture, hurry.
It looks real.
Doesn't it?
Not bad...
(One Year Later)
I know.
Back then, Brigitte married
someone else out of spite for me.
Do you know how hurt I was?
And Maggie didn't understand me
Maggie didn't understand me.
What's Patty HOU to me!
But I know that in this lifetime,
Phyllis will never leave me alone
