I Can See You Shine (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

Episode 3

1
Only my boyfriend
Is allowed to kiss me.
Okay.
So, I'm going out with her.
What?
But
He hasn't kissed you yet.
Right.
So, it doesn't count as "going out", does it?
No.
So, shall I formally ask her to go out with me?
Damn, it sounds so old-fashioned.
No.
Tell you what.
Now all girls fancy
An earnest guy like that.
Really?
This is so funny.
Or how did you pursue girls before?
I'd just say "yes".
Then we start going out.
Now what should I do?
Don't think too much.
Wait for him to ask you out.
That's right.
Besides I've declared my feelings for him.
I definitely can't ask him to go out with me first.
Go out without going on a date first?
You're right.
I'll go out with him only after being on a date.
Even when he asks me to go on a date,
I won't say yes straightway.
Young.
Would you like to go to the movies tonight?
Yes.
Yes, let's all go together.
Don't play gooseberry.
It's okay.
Let's go together.
I'm busy. You guys go without me.
What should we see?
Dear Martian,
At first, I wanted to know who you were.
But now I don't care about it anymore.
As for the ice cream parlor you mentioned,
I went again and bought a different flavor.
Pineapple dark chocolate.
It tastes like Young and me.
She's pineapple.
I'm dark chocolate.
One is super sweet.
The other is too bitter.
The strange thing is
The combination
Tastes quite nice.
(Ep.3 Blueberry Chocolate Ice Cream)
Fifty?
Seriously?
I thought you were in your early forties.
No.
I'm really fifty.
You look very young for your age.
No.
You go to the gym, don't you?
I've no time for that.
But when I was young, I loved playing sports.
Well, I've no time for exercising either.
And we women
Age a lot quicker.
No way.
You're very young.
Are you thirty-five yet?
I'm already forty.
Seriously?
Beauty.
A great beauty.
You're so sweet.
What's your zodiac sign?
Have water.
Thanks.
Virgo.
Enjoy the food.
Since when did we start
serving water?
From now on.
What are you doing here?
Go chat.
No.
Let me keep you company.
No need.
I need no one.
Yes, you do. -Check, please.
Darling.
Check?
It's 140.
Yes.
200 received.
Whoa!
Taro balls.
Hey.
So stingy.
Take it back.
It's got your spit on it.
Hooray.
I didn't put it in my mouth.
It got the spit from your chopsticks.
Then what would you do when you kiss?
That's different, okay?
Why did you get a taro ball?
Can I have it?
Sure.
Thanks.
Young.
Taro balls are Shao's favorite.
It's the last one.
And now you're having it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. You have it.
It's okay. You have it.
It's fine.
You have it, I mean it.
One bite is enough for me.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'll have it.
Don't you want to join them?
No.
You're really a loner.
Mind your own business.
Don't you love taro balls?
Why don't you eat it?
Oh.
I love it so much that
I'm saving it till the last.
Hey, why
Didn't Tung come for lunch today?
Yeah.
That's right.
Poor you, poor you.
Since you've got a girlfriend,
You must have each other's spit.
It feels so disgusting.
If you keep talking,
I'll spit on you.
Don't be like this.
I wanna exchange spit with a girl too.
Stop talking about spit.
Hey, Shao.
You had better let your girlfriend
know about your quirk.
Why are you forcing yourself?
I'm not forcing myself.
Argh.
You can't have your buddy's spit
but your girlfriend's is fine?
If you keep talking
Oi.
Stop splashing.
It's got wet.
Right, Sheng.
Have you had girlfriends?
Yes.
I told you.
How many?
Whoa, you need to think?
How many? Be honest.
I'm not sure if some of them counted.
Counted?
You're indeed a love rat.
How many?
Three, three.
Three
So cocky, eh?
Hey.
Cool.
Yep, I'm cocky, so what?
I don't think so.
They just hang out with each other.
Yes.
I bet it's like that.
Hey, Young.
What's going on between you and Shao?
Just like that.
Like how?
Like what?
Shao's relationship status on Facebook is single.
It's true.
It's true that he's single.
He's rarely on Facebook.
So, he hasn't updated it yet.
In fact, we've been together for a week.
A week.
Hey, Yen.
Are Young and Shao
really together?
Why don't you believe me?
Why would I make it up?
Am I so shameless?
So, Yen.
Young and Shao are really together?
I guess so.
What do you mean "guess so"?
Yes, we are.
Don't drag me into it.
Young.
So embarrassing that you keep emphasizing it.
I'm not emphasizing it.
Besides, it's not embarrassing at all.
It is, a bit.
Yen.
Okay.
Everyone.
Young and Shao
Are together.
Yes.
But it's not stated on Facebook.
You want some water?
What's wrong?
Do you think we're boyfriend and girlfriend?
Yes, or what else?
Then would you change your status?
What status?
Are you single?
Or not?
Oh, okay. Let me change it right now.
Wait a second.
It's done.
When do you think we started going out?
Any difference?
Yes.
Then today.
Give it to me.
You want to set the anniversary?
Yes.
I saw her.
So pretty.
And she's still single.
How old is she? And still not married?
I bet there is something wrong with her.
A woman like that
Is the most dangerous.
They always seduce the married men.
Yeah, right.
Hey, hey.
So strange.
Why aren't you talking in Vietnamese?
Why?
I'm home.
Dad.
Thank you for your hard work.
Mom.
Thank you too.
Aunties.
Thank you too.
I'm off to my room.
Bye bye.
It's really not easy for Young.
Her studies at senior high are very demanding.
But she's still so cheerful.
I bet she doesn't study at all.
Back to work.
She never likes studying.
Don't know who she takes after.
Right.
Don't know who she takes after.
Off you go.
Morning, everyone.
Shao is rarely on Facebook.
But he values our relationship so much
that he voluntarily changed his status.
You forced him to do so, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
He wanted to do it himself.
Good.
You gave up the Pop Dance Club for him.
I'd feel pity for you if he turned you down.
I feel pity for you.
I didn't give up the Pop Dance Club for him.
Yen begged me to join him.
Yen.
Yes, Chia-Ying.
Don't look down on the Folk Dance Club, okay?
We have a cultural mission.
Dance is
All about looking good.
We look good too.
Who has seen the folk dance performance?
No one.
Why not?
Because no one wants to see it.
It's easy for everyone to see us.
Let's all perform at the end-of-year
presentation if you dare.
We Folk Dance Club will do better than
you Pop Dance Club.
Good, let's wait and see.
Good, you wait and see.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Tung.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Babe.
Hey, Sheng.
Young has got me into big trouble.
What happened?
Young.
Help me! It's so scary.
It's not just folk dance.
It's international folk dance.
Are you sure you can do it?
Yeah, right, Young.
Don't drag us into
Your fight against the Pop Dance Club.
Right, Tung?
It makes no difference to me.
Yes, it makes no difference to me either.
The presentation isn't a big deal.
For Tung,
I'm willing to do anything.
Don't call me Tung.
I'm willing to do anything for Tung.
Don't do it for me.
Okay.
I'll do it for everyone.
And you?
Me too.
Hooray!
Where is Sheng?
Hey.
He's run away, Young.
Forget it.
We'll be fine without him.
Why just us?
Where are the others?
Shao is in a relationship.
So, all his fans left the club.
That's why pop idols keep their relationships secret.
He's not a pop idol.
Everyone.
Miss Chiu had a car accident.
Is she alright?
Luckily, her life isn't in danger.
But she'll have to stay in the hospital for a while.
So, as for the Folk Dance Club,
She decides to
Ask me to stand in for her.
What does that mean?
And I heard it just now.
You volunteer to perform
at the end-of-year presentation.
Who is the president of the club?
Me.
Very good.
Chiu
Miss Chiu will be very moved.
You all happen to be in my math class.
Whoever doesn't perform
At the presentation
Will fail in math.
I'll leave it to you.
Good luck!
Did he really say that?
He threatens us with our grades in math?
Mom, please.
No.
Can you stop messing around?
Dad.
Don't ask me.
Mom, please teach us the dance.
Dancing is my forte.
I could be beaten at anything
But dance.
For Christ's sake.
Don't assume I can do Vietnamese dance
Just because I'm Vietnamese.
I've promised my friends.
You won't bail me out?
Well, it was such a pity
You didn't get to see
How beautiful your mom looked
When she was in the traditional Vietnamese dress
At that time.
The battery is dying.
Dad.
You think you're the only one who wants a new phone?
My phone is very old too.
The battery goes dead after a game of mahjong.
Dad.
Does it mean Mom has agreed?
Ask her.
Mom.
Does this mean you've agreed to me?
Dad, look at Mom.
Mom.
Why are you ignoring me?
Since you're ignoring me, I take it as a yes.
Dad.
Darling.
Are you my wife?
Wow.
I didn't recognize you just now.
I'm so surprised.
You've become so beautiful.
Okay.
I'll help you with it.
Don't take it off.
Wear it when you go to bed tonight.
I haven't seen you looking so pretty for ages.
Gross.
I miss it.
I miss it so much.
Miss
She looked younger back then.
Let me take the trash out.
Hello.
Really?
Oh my God.
Nono.
I got it.
Call me if anything happens.
What's up?
Auntie Yu-Tsui wants to get divorced.
Hey, where is your dad?
He took the trash out.
Weird
He rarely took the trash out before.
He's been acting strange recently.
Hooray!
Bravo!
Then
This
No. 4.
No. 4 is bit difficult.
So out of the way.
Hit this point.
Yes!
Good. I'm going to the ladies.
Okay.
Thanks.
Anyone in it?
Excuse me.
You say the door is jammed?
Yes.
I thought no one was in it.
So, I knocked and pulled.
But I couldn't open it.
So, I think maybe the lock is broken.
Please fix it.
Oh, yes.
Please wait outside for a minute.
Yes. -I'll ask someone to fix it.
Oh, thanks. -No problem.
I'll be quick.
Sheng.
Come on.
The door is jammed.
It was fine yesterday, wasn't it?
Hey.
Sheng.
What are you doing?
Sheng.
I suddenly have a stomachache.
You suddenly have a stomachache?
It's urgent.
Urgent?
Mm.
Why didn't you tell me just now?
Not only you but the customer needs it urgently.
Break it.
Crazy.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
My mom is outside.
Oh.
What?
Go check what she is doing for me.
I don't know your mom.
That woman who came in just now.
Oh. -Quick.
You should have told me earlier.
Why are you avoiding your mom?
Mind your own business.
You're asking me for help.
I'm not asking you.
No?
No? Forget it then.
Hey.
Please.
Come on.
Please.
Say "Thank you".
Thank you.
Good girl.
Damn you.
They do very nice ice cream.
Here you are.
Thanks.
What flavor are you having?
Blueberry chocolate.
It sounds so weird.
No, it doesn't.
It's my favorite.
Swap.
What?
I don't like the sour taste.
Swap.
What do you think? Good?
What flavor did you say it was?
Blueberry chocolate.
It tastes so weird.
I don't like it.
I want it back.
It's me.
What?
Your dad looks so young.
What are they doing?
What did you see?
They're playing billiards.
That's it?
Yes.
I need to go back to work.
He's not my dad.
Don't think too much.
They're just playing billiards.
Hm.
Get out.
Go say hello to them.
Aren't you very sassy?
What are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid.
You get out first.
I'll follow you.
Okay.
Ah.
Almost.
Damn.
What a pity.
How about hitting this one?
Ah.
Again, nearly got it.
I'm sorry.
We're closing.
Closing?
Thought you were open till midnight?
I'm sorry. We're closing early tonight.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Thank you for paying. -Thank you.
Next time give me a chance
I insist.
I know, I know.
Bye bye.
Bye.
Would you like to explain yourself?
There is another in the restroom.
It's me.
Finish it before you leave.
Sheng's treat.
Enjoy it.
I didn't ask you for a treat.
It's not my treat.
Stop it.
I'm going back to work.
(Princess Dance:Is the ice cream that Martians like)
Your call will be switched to the voicemail.
Dad.
What's up?
Nothing.
Hello?
Just want to know when you're coming home.
I'm still in a meeting in the office.
Where is your mom?
Why did you suddenly call me?
Nothing.
Well, no
Wait a second.
Go back to work then.
Shall I give you a ride home?
Are you alright?
This helmet is so ugly.
It's just a spare.
Sometimes my mom needs it.
Why are you explaining so much?
You soiled my diary last time.
Now we're even.
I won't blame you.
Bye bye.
You shouldn't blame me anyway.
You're home.
Didn't we agree you'd be home by midnight?
Why are you so late?
Because I'm your kid.
No one in the family wants to come home.
Nonsense.
What do you mean by that?
I fell asleep on the sofa while waiting up for you.
Argh.
Hey.
It's a school night.
Have a shower and go to bed.
If you can't get up tomorrow morning,
I won't help you.
Mom.
What's up?
Nothing.
What's wrong with you?
You tell me first.
You first.
Well
Who on earth
Do you think is the Martian?
I've told you.
I no longer want to find out who the Martian is.
But didn't you say
Those three were the most suspicious?
You're worried it might be Shao?
No.
It's impossible.
I'm just thinking whether
It's Yen or Sheng.
Would you like to ask them directly?
No.
Suit yourself.
Right.
What did you want to say?
Er
That tattoo artist is back.
Oh.
What?
You don't want to get a tattoo anymore?
Yes, of course I do.
Text me the time.
Is this what you wanted to say?
No, my mom -Young.
Here you are.
Just now you -I finished it.
Enjoy the meal.
Still so much left.
Tung, you waste a lot of food.
Did I disrupt you guys?
No, you didn't.
Then why did she look sullen?
She's always like that.
Don't call her Tung.
She doesn't like it.
Besides you don't know each other well.
Oh.
I thought we knew each other well enough.
Oh yeah?
Then he
I remember once he's so funny that
Babe.
Dear Martian,
How are you recently?
I feel I'm not very happy recently.
Earth seems to suit me less and less.
The world has changed without me knowing.
I fail to catch up with the speed it spins at.
So, slowly, I drift into the outer space.
But I still don't know where my home planet Mercury is.
Dear Mercurian,
Haven't you ever thought
How the different species
On different planets communicate with each other?
But
If you've drifted into the outer space,
Your voice won't be heard.
Shall I send a spaceship to rescue you?
Hey,
last time
where is the ice cream parlor the Martian likes?
So terrible
That one near the school.
Which flavor did he recommend?
Blueberry chocolate.
Well
It's normal for men to cheat on their wives.
Since he has apologized to you
Okay, okay.
Don't be so impulsive.
What's up?
Nothing.
I'll recommend it to my mom.
Don't be upset.
Bye bye.
I've got more than enough on my plate.
Whose husband is cheating on her?
Auntie Yu-Tsui's or who else?
Is it really normal for men to cheat on their wives?
Of course not.
But if I didn't say that, how could I comfort her?
The garbage van is gone.
Why isn't Dad back yet?
Yeah, right.
I'll go check.
Yu-Ming.
You're smoking in secret.
What are you doing here?
Your mom sent you to spy on me?
No.
She thought you came to meet your lover.
Recently, we met a new neighbor.
She's very pretty.
Your mom is jealous.
It's fine.
Let her be jealous.
Sometimes women should be treated like this.
So, we'll have fun in our lives.
Dad.
Do men always cheat on their wives?
Of course not.
Well, don't be like your mom, so suspicious.
Men will feel exhausted if you're like that.
When you have a boyfriend,
You'll argue with each other a lot.
So
When you like someone,
You have to trust them.
Right?
Of course.
Tell your mom that on my behalf.
Why drag me into it?
Hey.
Don't tell your mom I smoke.
Okay.
Get me a new phone.
Fine, fine.
When?
Give me some time.
A phone costs up to 30,000.
It's very expensive.
I don't have that much egg money.
Liar.
Don't you know your dad is poor?
Off you go.
You go back first.
Yeah, I got a mobile phone.
Hey, how was it?
Nothing.
He's not having an affair.
How did you know?
What did you see?
I saw nothing at all.
You didn't see your dad?
Where has he gone?
Great, I knew it.
Hey, Mom.
Wait.
He was just chatting to a friend.
You said you didn't see anything.
It must be that woman.
Right?
What the hell are they doing?
They were just chatting.
Chatting?
Why are they chatting behind my back?
He wants to surprise you.
He
He wants to give you a present.
So he asked the auntie for advice.
Is it true?
Your dad remember it?
Remember what?
It's our wedding anniversary tomorrow.
You know what present he is giving me?
Well, Mom, stop asking.
Or it won't be a surprise.
Remember to teach me the dance.
Okay, fine.
So annoying.
Recently,
You seem to have become prettier.
Have I?
Dad comes home so late every day.
Don't you mind?
No.
He needs to work.
I'm worried he might be up to something.
He doesn't dare.
You forgot you ran away from home when you were 12?
You scared us to death.
I was the one who got scared to death.
Of course I know that.
We were all scared to death.
(Young, don't forget it tomorrow.)
Hey.
How about this?
Will this do?
It's a hair clip.
Hair clip?
And this?
For massaging your face.
Women love massaging their faces.
No, it's mine.
Then find me something, quick.
Or your mom will find me absent.
She won't wake up in the middle of the night.
Don't you know she goes to the bathroom so often?
Why don't you get one yourself?
We've been married for more than ten years.
I never remember our wedding anniversary.
You deserve it.
Besides things like this
Once you've done it, you'll have to do it again.
I give her a present this year.
I'll have to give her another next year.
What should I do in the future?
You really got me into big trouble.
Hurry up.
Okay.
This will do.
Don't forget to wrap it up.
Remember, don't make things up again.
Shut the door.
Darling.
Happy wedding anniversary.
Wow.
I can't believe you remember it.
We've been married for ages. No need to get a present.
Isn't it the birthday present
I gave Young last year?
Such a coincidence!
It proves.
we have the same taste.
This is what "fate" means.
Fate.
Liar.
Darling.
It's fate.
Fate.
I thought you didn't like it?
I decided to like it.
Now does it taste nice?
Yes.
No wonder people say girls are changeable.
Shall we swap?
It's fine if you don't want to.
Just asking.
Okay, let's swap.
Does it taste nice?
Everything tastes nice when I'm with you.
Let's come again.
Still so many flavors we haven't tried.
Lazy.
We came here last week and this week.
And next week too?
Haven't you got any other ideas?
What do you mean last week?
It was the week before the last.
We've been together for 23 days.
I've been keeping count of it.
The week before the last?
I know.
Time flies faster when you're with me.
Well
The tattoo artist is back.
Text me the time.
It's been two weeks?
Yes.
Dear Martian,
Do you like watching movies?
In the movies,
What scares you the most?
I've never been scared of horrors,
Ghost movies or thrillers since I was little.
What scares me the most are sci-fi movies.
Especially when I see the tether
Attached to the astronaut breaks.
Slowly,
The astronaut floats alone in the space,
Further and further away from the spaceship.
Excuse me!
Excuse me, open the door!
How about calling Tung first?
Don't be so worried.
You don't understand.
Excuse me!
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Please don't be angry, okay?
I did go to the tattoo parlor that day.
I didn't expect it to close so early.
Stop being angry.
Or let's make another appointment.
See what time suits you.
I'm fine with it.
You already got it?
And it's a caterpillar.
Didn't we agree on a butterfly?
What's wrong with a caterpillar?
If you're serious about apologizing,
Go have a caterpillar tattoo.
Don't be like this, okay?
You can't change your mind once it's tattooed.
This is what I want. -Tung.
Let's go eat something, alright?
Go, go.
Yen.
Stop pursuing me.
It's Shao who I fancy.
Then
Like this, I cut off
The only connection between me and Earth.
It's dark in the universe.
Dear Martian,
Now, apart from you,
I have nothing else.
