GREAT IDIOMS SUPPLEMEN
BY SHUI-YUAN
-Hello, Madam.
-Hey.
Did you confiscate that from a student?
No, it's mine.
Oh?
My kid asked me to quit smoking
ten years ago.
This pack
has been in my drawer ever since.
I really feel like smoking today.
If you have something to say, just say it.
Yesterday,
I received another letter of complaint
from a student. Yes.
It said that you insult your students
with strong language,
your exams are too hard,
and you don't smile enough.
-Was it that young couple again?
-It doesn't matter who it was.
The number of students registering
has gone down again this month.
I heard that Ming-te
has a new Chinese language teacher.
Really?
Yes, he's funny.
Tells the odd dirty joke.
The students like his classes.
He's stolen loads of our students.
Even my own kid
His grades really improved.
Shui-yuan.
You used to be our star teacher, right?
But students don't go for those
strict teaching methods anymore. Okay?
Am I right? Isn't that true?
They're already exhausted from school,
why would they come here afterward
only to be shouted at?
They don't want that.
I don't want that either.
You've got to find a way
to make students like you more.
Director.
SHUI-YUAN CHINESE
"Build a solid foundation."
"Choose the right path
for further education
and never take any detours in life."
-What is the essence of education?
-To earn money!
Fuck!
Hey, every time I try
to give you honest advice,
you talk about
about the essence of education.
All schools ever teach
is this useless nonsense.
Students only come here
because they learn nothing at school.
Okay?
You think they come here
to learn how to become a saint?
They just want to get good grades
and find a good job.
In the end, isn't it all about money?
If you're so self-righteous,
why don't you go teach at a school?
Why teach in a cram school?
Don't tell me it's not for the money.
It's not.
I want more people to hear my lectures.
Then don't charge.
Learn from the greatest sage and teacher.
Just
Take sausages as payment.
Cured meat.
He accepted cured meat!
Cured He Every
Everyone knows it was cured meat!
I don't care if it was sausages
or cured meat! Hey.
Cured meat is even more expensive.
Shui-yuan.
Director.
Shui-yuan.
Director.
Right.
You have lofty ideals, right?
But your students don't like you anymore.
You won't get more students to
your lectures.
Isn't that the opposite of what you want?
Smiling is so important.
Okay?
Tell some jokes.
Whether they have substance or not
isn't important.
Okay?
Director. Let me tell you a joke.
What happens
when two idiots walk into a bar?
I don't know.
They both get
bumps on their heads!
They hit their heads!
You're most gifted.
Yes, get students to like your classes.
That's all.
You have the talent.
Just make some adjustments.
Okay?
A handsome teacher
can produce good students too.
Okay?
-Not bad.
-Okay.
Fuck.
The mock exam will start now.
Write 50 idioms each.
Hey, the idiot teacher's in.
Is he stupid?
PERVERT SHUI-YUAN
OLD FAR
He's seen it. The idiot's seen it.
The director said
you're under a lot of pressure.
No one wants to come here
to get shouted at.
Then
I'll tell you a joke.
Wow, so funny.
He-he.
Sir.
Better make sure your joke is funny.
Orz.
All right.
Put your handouts away. Let's begin.
Take this seriously.
If anyone makes a mistake,
I'll kill them.
IDIOMS AREN'T THAT DIFFICUL
BY HUANG HSIEN
Sir.
Was he your student?
When two rabbits run side by side,
how to tell
which is male and which is female?
Officer Wu.
Look at your doodles.
I can't even tell if the person
is male or female.
If my student looked like that,
he would have been my first victim.
Fucking giving us
the runaround again. Huh?
So you don't know him?
By the way,
you just said
Hsieh Cheng-ta was a delivery driver.
Why is he wearing an orange jacket?
-That's a delivery driver's uniform.
-Hey?
Didn't couriers wear beige before?
Sir, he's a delivery driver for
cellphone food delivery apps.
Each company has
Who cares about their uniforms?
I'm asking about Huang Hsien.
I'm working here! Go sit down!
I'm working here! Go sit down!
Me? Why should I sit down?
Hurry up!
I have a lead.
Do you want to know?
Do you know how I got Hsiao-chien
to open the front door back then?
Hold this.
What's this?
Pretending to be a courier?
LIN PAI-SHENG, 37, VICTIM'S MANAGER
HSIEH CHENG-TA, 39, DELIVERY DRIVER
Getting in disguised as a delivery driver
is actually quite possible.
Hey. Why are you always
cutting your nails?
It was my right toenails before.
You can cut them all at once.
No need to do it every day.
The security guard, Hsiao Woo, said
that the delivery drivers
always use the back door.
But the back door cameras don't work,
so there's no footage.
It sucks that CCTV
wasn't installed near the CUA high school
and the cameras
in Mogi's place were fake.
It's a shame.
-Boss.
-Yes?
Surely you don't believe
all this nonsense.
How many other jobs in Taiwan
have access to residential buildings?
Forget delivery drivers.
What about postmen? Meter readers?
Hey, and people delivering gas.
Right.
What idiot carries a gas tank to a murder?
It happened before. Pingtung, 1981.
Someone called the Gas Killer.
-Right.
-Really?
Anyone who can carry a gas tank
would be good at carrying corpses.
Hey.
I didn't say
that Hsieh Cheng-ta was the killer.
-Boss, you keep changing your mind.
-You're the one who changes your mind.
A few hours ago,
you were sure Mr. Lin was the killer.
Lin Pai-sheng led me to Huang Hsien.
It proves my instincts are right.
Oh? So you men
just rely on your instincts, huh?
Then let's vote on it. Okay?
Huang Hsien was Mogi Yumi's
Chinese teacher.
Chinese teachers love killing people.
One vote.
Chubby!
Hsieh Cheng-ta
Hsieh Cheng Hsieh
Hsieh Cheng-ta had an argument
with Mogi before her death,
his story about Mr. Lin is far-fetched
and he doesn't have an alibi.
-Excuse me. Can I interrupt?
-Put that down.
Judging from the state of his place,
he should be ISFP.
This kind of person
is completely out of control. That's all.
Alright.
Shao-nien.
What about you?
-Damn, he's out of it again.
-Chief.
Boss.
Chief.
Boss.
Chief.
Boss.
-Chief.
-Boss.
Hey.
Hm?
You watch Huang Hsien.
You watch Hsieh Cheng-ta.
That's settled, okay? Go.
-Chief.
-Hm?
We don't have enough people
to split like this.
Why did you make me captain
if you don't trust my judgment
and let me take command?
Look, I get your point, but
Chubby.
Chubby.
Chubby.
You must think it's strange
that the girl insists
on interrogating the prisoner
and that the prisoner
will only talk to the girl, right?
Huh? What?
Oh, I get it. She tricked us
in the Lin Hsiao-yuan case before.
Then someone got promoted to captain.
This case is so big.
Maybe she'll get promoted
to precinct chief.
Didn't the Deputy take the Boss' credit
to get to her position?
-Ming-han, don't Don't.
-What?
Don't want me standing here?
-Fine, I'll get to work.
-Ming-han.
Hey.
Tzu-ching.
I trust in you.
Okay? You're not like the Deputy, are you?
Captain.
Follow Hsieh Cheng-ta, starting tomorrow.
I'll go keep an eye on Shui-yuan.
That's the reason
you agreed to him coming back, right?
-Hey.
-Hey, Captain.
Hey.
What's going on?
Look what you did.
Was I out of line earlier?
Hey, wait!
-Hey, hurry!
-Hurry up!
Be careful.
Hey, I've been chatting a lot
with this guy on Terrier lately.
Wow, he's hot.
I know, right?
Have you been working out with him yet?
-Five times a day.
-You're too much!
Hey, but I noticed
he's messaging other girls
on alternate accounts.
Be careful. Players are hard work.
Wait, he's super sad-looking.
-Let me see.
-He's clearly a peacock.
Yeah, pretty peacocky.
I asked him why he keeps messaging girls.
He said those girls messaged him
and got mad at me for checking his phone.
Peacocks only care about image.
-He'll blame you for everything.
-What's wrong with peacocks?
-Run!
-Hurry!
-Run!
-Who was that weirdo?

CHUBBY:
MING-HAN, YOU WERE OUT OF LINE.
THE CAPTAIN WAS SO UPSET.
Um
I want to tell you,
Shui-yuan knows Huang Hsien.
Bet Boss' reputation on it.
That bastard Huang Hsien
is guilty as hell. That's all.
WU MING-HAN
SHUI-YUAN CHINESE
FIRST PLACE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION
Who made you angry, Officer Lin?
I understand.
I understand.
The world is so big,
yet there's nowhere you belong.
I feel the same way.
When by yourself, it's called being alone.
Yet if you still feel alone
amidst a bunch of people,
it's called loneliness.
Why did you lie?
I can charge you for false testimony.
I'll take any rights you had left!
Tell me.
Is it fun to play me?

Students.
Today, I'll tell you a story.
Chia Pao-yu was the second gen nerd
in the history of literature.
How so?
Because his dad Chia Cheng
was the first gen nerd.
Chia Cheng had vehicles,
money and houses.
He was even a Leo, with blood type O.
Every time he saw the maids
in Prospect Garden -
tall, short, fat, thin, sweet and salty -
he couldn't suppress his lust
for the maids.
The maids would run away
when they saw him.
Running and yelling.
This excited the father of Pao-yu
even more.
Do you know why?
Because the maids were yelling
DON'T! STOP! FATHER OF YU!
Don't! Stop! Father of Yu!
So what will happen
if you don't learn your idioms well?
Not much,
as long as you own Prospect Garden.
Alright. I'm just joking.
Dream of the Red Chamber
is a monumental work. How monumental?
It has over 700 characters.
If they all came here,
they would fill the school.
So the conclusion is don't read it.
It won't be in the exams.
The examiners haven't finished reading it.
Alright.
Okay, students.
Open your handouts to page 33.
Let's look at the key pre-examination
discussion points in Section 3.
This covers possible exam questions.
Let's take a look
HSIEN BABY
For a perfect score, you just need to
Tu Fu, the poet sage.
How could you miswrite that?
-Right.
-No, sir. I
-We've done that already?
-Sir, this one
-Really?
-How should I answer this?
"Immortals bring fame to any mountain."
Who's an immortal?
-Huang Hsien! You!
-Sir!
Of course.
-Come on.
-I'm so smart.
Remember to correct the mistakes.
Okay? Correct it. Make it right.
Mu-ting baby.
Sir.
Officer Lin.
You asked if Huang Hsien was my student.
Look at the photo.
What is he doing?
He's wiping the board.
He was a board assistant?
You know,
not everyone comes from a well-off family
and can receive
a high standard of education.
And I was a famous teacher.
I was very expensive.
Do you know what
"eyes obscured by a single leaf" means?
When we open our eyes
to see the things around us,
we think we're seeing the whole picture.
But in reality, if you do this
you won't be able to see anything.
That's bok choy.
You're too stubborn.
Do you think what you see is the truth?
Do you know the people around you?
Or do you just know their appearances?
Do the people around you know you?
Or do they just know
what you appear to be?
POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR
Why will you only talk to me?
Because I pity you.
You're like a child without a home.
What are you doing?
Adversities in life
are like this spot on your face.
You don't like it,
but it's already there.
You can only
slowly let it out of your body.
Let time solve everything.
What nonsense.
What are the police are up to?
They arrest people for illegal parking,
but haven't caught the Idiom Monster yet.
Of course I'm scared.
I went to many bookstores
but couldn't find an idiom dictionary.
I just don't dare let my kids out now.
The police sit around all day
drinking tea.
They can't be bothered
to catch the killer?
They just don't care
about the people's safety.
And speaking of the police
Come in.
Chief.
This is urgent.
-What is it?
-Quickly.
Want some strawberries?
Why are you
eating strawberries now? Huh?
Is this what was so urgent?
You don't want any?
They're imported Paris Strawberries.
Paris Strawberries?
Adding "Paris" makes them special?
-Do you have anything important?
-Yes.
A patrol officer
caught a man taking drugs in the park.
Looks like he's the guy caught on camera
in the first murder case.
During the crime
A camera captured someone
A resident on the ninth floor
named Chang Po-lun.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
-Instead of those
-Paris Strawberries.
I don't want any!
Huh?
Chang Po-lun, I'm talking to you.
Can you hear me?
I'm talking to you.
-How's it going?
-Chief.
I didn't know it was him.
I couldn't tell from the footage taken
at the Lungyin Building.
-So you know each other.
-His name is Chang Po-lun.
He was a drug dealer
who used to roll with Lin Hsiao-yuan.
Then he started working
for a guy called Blackie.
They use foreign migrant workers
to sell drugs
at stations and construction sites.
When I was undercover,
I saw him a lot.
Why don't you interrogate him?
Are you crazy?
I arrested Blackie.
-If he sees me, I'm screwed.
-Let go! I
-I don't know any
-Hey.
-I need some
-What? He's so out of it.
What are you afraid of?
Interrogate him, okay?
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
This steak reminds me of another poem.
-Have you dined here before?
-Um, no.
-So this is your first time with me?
-Yes.
Sir, are you ready to order?
Steak. Make it quick.
-How do you want it done?
-Medium.
Okay, no problem.
Do you like it?
Tooth is off?
-Sure.
-Law?
Why'd you give me this?
Way more crap
meth?
WAY MORE CRAP METH, TOOTH IS OFF
Why did ya give me this?
Is it a reward for coming top in school?
You deserved to come top.
You gave me a drawing, right?
You know what they say,
"One good turn deserves another"
That drawing wasn't you
It was my goofball.
Roof full?
Fuck, what are they saying?
-What are you doing here?
-Didn't you have extra classes tonight?
Who's that?
Have you been stalking me?
I want to see if you're lying to me!
I'm treating a top student to dinner.
Is that a problem?
To a classy restaurant like this?
-Have you ever brought me here?
-Okay, sit down and eat.
Sit down and eat.
I don't want to.
Who's this crazy girl?
It's rude to barge in like this.
Could you please keep it down?
We have other guests.
Let me handle this.
Wait a moment. I'll explain later.
Do you mean her or me?
You! You wait a moment!
I'll wait a moment.
You said you were working
and not to disturb you.
-Turns out you're dating a student!
-Keep your voice down!
Do you want to ruin my reputation?
Come out. Come out.
I'll explain. Come with me.
-Come with me!
-Work overtime?
Why did you lie to me?
-What a scumbag!
-What a scumbag!
Damn, who are you?
Sir, your steak, medium rare.
So OTT.
She shouldn't bring her aggro here.
Aggro?
What's aggro?
Aggression.
Is she an ex student?
Did she get better grades than me?
She's my sister.
Are you shame mad?
You can't possibly have a godsister.
Saddo.
Do you like the food?
Yes.
It's alright.
Hey, next time, we can go for TSF.
-TSF?
-It's traditional street food.
-Traditional street food?
-Yes.
Didn't you say you like
pig's blood cake?
-Do you like Michelle or Ming-hsien?
-Mi what?
What is that?
Michelle is more refreshing.
Ming-hsian is thicker with bigger bits.
Surely you know this, sir?
GM has a few good places.
Hey, wanna go try some?
GM?
Do you mean Google Maps?
Yeah.
Your Chinese language grades are so good.
Why don't you speak properly?
Hey, sir, where are we going now?
Home. Where do you live?
In Houshan.
But that's a gastronomic desert.
Aren't we going to eat Ming-hsian?
I said we're going home!
Hey, fuck. The paparazzi.
-Idiot.
-Get in the car!
What are you doing? You're hurting me!
What's going on?
There's no need for that! Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Sir, slow down! I want to
Quiet! Shut up!
Sir, my phone is low on battery.
Do you have a power bank?
Fuck.
Fuck, bro, this is a sports car!
Pull over!
Shit.
Police, get out.
Why are you driving so fast?
In a rush to kill someone?
You're the one who almost killed me.
You wait. I'm calling my lawyer.
You're coming with me.
Or you're taking me somewhere.
-Where?
-The police station. Get out.
Why would I go to the station with you?
You were speeding and tried to hit a cop.
Who says I tried to hit a cop?
You even kidnapped an innocent girl. Miss
Get out!
Hey, sir!
Hey!
Eat shit, you useless jerk!
Adversities in life
are like this spot on your face.
You don't like it, but it's already there.
You can only slowly
let time solve everything.
PLEASE WASH UP AFTERWARDS
What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you
to follow Hsieh Cheng-ta?
Didn't you say tomorrow?
Did I say tomorrow?
Yes.
Um, Captain,
I have some Japanese spot cream.
-Do you want some?
-No, thank you.
Captain, I went to the Examination Center.
Hsieh Cheng-ta took the exam in 2001,
so probably read Great Idioms Supplement.
Great Idioms Supplement?
Did you check? What's the next idiom?
Hey, what's up? I caught him.
I'm bringing him in now.
Officer.
Do you know what
"eyes obscured by a single leaf" means?
