I Can See You Shine (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
1
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.
I knew it.
Don't get the wrong idea.
So, you're the Martian.
What Martian?
You've been lying to me.
No, I haven't.
I really didn't know Tung fancied me.
Then who on earth do you fancy?
I've got a girlfriend. Who else do I fancy?
I'm going home.
Young.
Young.
There is really nothing between Tung and me.
Let go of me.
Don't you run after her?
I don't know what's going on. Why should I?
Because you're seeing both of them.
I'm not.
But they both fancy you.
Yep.
So what should I do?
Yen.
Are you alright?
What?
Didn't you get rejected just now?
Yeah, right.
The girl I fancy
Was snatched away by my buddy.
I didn't want to snatch her at all.
Stop.
You didn't want to snatch her.
That makes it even more tragic.
You don't look too sad though.
Stop pretending.
No
I was so shocked that I failed to react.
I'm the one who is shocked.
I need time to digest it.
You two, take your time.
I'm off.
Hey, Sheng.
Hey, where are you going?
Shouldn't you be comforting us?
Come on.
（Ep.4 Girls Are Troublesome）
Young.
I'll go check.
I'm sorry.
Tung.
So, the Martian isn't the art teacher.
Then in the past two weeks,
Who on earth have you been corresponding with?
But didn't you say
They three were the most suspicious?
You worry it might be Shao?
No.
Still so much left.
Tung, you waste a lot of food.
Young.
What?
Why did you come up?
No one is holding the fort.
It's fine.
Just for a minute.
She locked the door?
Shall I go get the key?
No need.
You know she's a cry-baby.
She'll be fine after crying.
Go back to work.
It's okay. They're all regulars.
How can you be so sloppy?
No wonder we never have more customers.
What a crappy phone!
The battery always goes dead at the crucial moment.
Told you ages ago I need a new phone!
A new phone.
You've ruined my life!
（voice message）
I'm having dinner with my colleagues.
Not sure when I'll be home.
Don't wait up for me.
I'll call you when I'm on my way home.
Okay, bye.
Whoa!
Luckily Young hasn't seen you like this.
Or I'll feel so much pressure.
Hey, mister.
Instead of worrying about this,
You should think about how you'll apologize to Young.
Why should he apologize?
He did nothing wrong.
Yep.
I did nothing wrong.
When a girl is angry,
It doesn't matter
If you did anything wrong.
Anyway, apologize to her first.
Seriously, I'm not lying to you.
You sound as if you had girlfriends before.
Before you could walk,
I was seeing Lucia,
the mermaid.
Sheng, I'd like to order.
You two have fun.
Okay. I'm back to work.
All my colleagues are off tonight.
Okay.
Bye bye.
Bye.
Hey
Can you play?
No. Can you?
It doesn't matter.
No one is watching.
That's true.
Young.
Hey.
Well.
Girls are so troublesome.
Yep.
Then do you want to pursue Tung?
She doesn't fancy me.
You give up so easily?
Tell you what.
A real man
Knows when to let go.
There are so many tress in the woods.
So many fish in the sea.
They're all waiting for
Me, Yen.
Before I graduate from senior high,
I'll definitely find one.
Go!
You can do it.
Prince Shao.
You had better stay away from me.
It's all your fault I failed to ask any girls out.
Well.
You're very attractive too.
Really?
If you were a girl,
Between Shao and me,
Who would you choose?
I knew he wouldn't choose me.
I'm not a girl.
How would I know?
Fine.
He doesn't count.
If you were a girl,
Between Sheng and me,
Who would you choose?
Damn, neither of you choose me.
Well, no.
I'm thinking hard.
One is an ex.
The other is a new buddy.
It's hard to choose.
What do you mean "ex"?
Yen.
I'll definitely choose you.
I don't believe you.
Seriously, I like you more.
Don't feel sorry for me. I mean it.
You don't believe me?
Come over.
What do you want?
Come over.
Whoa, what do you want?
I want to prove my love for you.
No need.
No kiss.
Yes.
You turn me down?
You'll break my heart.
If you get closer, I'll
If you get closer,
I'll break your arm.
Come on.
I'm not afraid.
Get off.
Attention, everyone.
Get ready for holding your breath.
Ready, go.
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 get a caterpillar tattoo.
Don't be so bossy.
It's Shao who I fancy.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Are you alright?
Tung.
Retake the test next time.
Make sure you learn how to hold your breath.
You understand?
Wow, so cool.
Really?
Mm.
You don't feel a caterpillar is disgusting?
Is it?
Sheng, what do you think?
No.
A caterpillar will turn into a butterfly, right?
Wow, it's true.
So, that's what the caterpillar means.
But maybe it's not a caterpillar
But a maggot.
It'll turn into a fly.
You're so wicked. -So rude.
Anyway, it looks great.
Really?
The class is starting. Back to your seats.
Tung.
Go to the school counselor after the class.
Sheng, you too.
Why?
What do you mean why?
We care about you.
It's just a tattoo. Why make such a fuss?
Whoa
Quiet.
Don't argue with me.
You
Talk to the school counselor.
You think we'll be led astray?
Enough. Let's start the class.
Open your math textbook to p.86.
Sir.
Tattoo is an art.
Don't be influenced by the bias in our society.
That's a stereotype.
Whoa.
Enough, enough.
We're in class.
P. 86.
Today we'll learn differential of a function.
You still don't admit she's your girlfriend?
She really isn't.
She likes someone else.
Likes someone else.
Clearly, she's waiting for you to finish work.
No, she isn't.
She just needs a place to stay.
Go.
Hurry up.
Leave the rest to me.
Go, now.
Go.
Or I'll dock your wages.
Put the helmet on.
No.
If you take it off again,
I'll leave you by the roadside.
Fine.
Leave me by the roadside.
If you have the guts, ask your mom directly.
Stop being difficult and making people pity you.
Tung, what are you doing?
I'll go home by myself.
Let me give you a ride.
No need, thanks.
I've been trying so hard not to be stubborn.
And trying so hard to be understanding.
What I hate the most
is people pitying me.
Don't intervene in my business.
You think I love intervening in your business?
Such a bad temper.
No wonder no one dares to ask you out.
My best wishes to Yen as he pursues you.
I feel sorry for Shao as you fancy him.
You're back.
Have you eaten?
Where did you go on that day?
What happened to your hair?
I saw it all.
What did you see?
That hair color is temporary, isn't it?
Yes, don't you think it looks great?
What happened to you?
Did you have a fight with Young?
Yes, we did. We fell out.
All because of you.
Where on earth did you go that day?
What on earth are you talking about?
Which day?
That day I came home very late.
Recently, you come home late every day.
I saw it all.
I saw you play billiards with a guy.
Why did you lie to me?
No wonder you have no time to go out with me.
It turns out you went on a date with that guy.
If you don't want me anymore,
You could have told me.
Make it clear so I wouldn't have become like this.
I'm always very independent.
I can be on my own.
I don't need anyone.
Tung.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
Who on earth was that guy?
He was a friend I met at college.
No way.
How could you meet at college?
He looks so old.
Why did you play billiards together that day?
Just now you said
I had no time for you.
In fact, have you ever thought
It's you who have no time for me?
Really?
Yes.
Since you became good friends with Young last year,
We've rarely hung out with each other.
At first,
I felt a bit lonely.
But later I thought
My daughter was growing up.
One day, she would leave me.
Yeah.
I know.
I always cling to you.
I'm not like you.
You're so independent.
So strong and brave.
But as a mother,
How can I be weaker than my daughter?
So, I thought
I wanted to learn from you.
I wanted to become someone independent
Who can live on their own.
So, Tung
I'm sorry.
Why did you say sorry to me?
I never thought
You would feel so lonely
When I left you on your own.
Well.
It's not that serious.
I was just a bit lonely.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry.
Silly girl.
You're being so insistent.
We can dye it tomorrow.
Hey, you know what?
Your home teacher Mr. Huang
has been pestering me.
He told me about the tattoo on your arm.
You know life is hard for me?
I'm your mother and I also
Need to keep good relationships with my colleagues.
Come on.
Wait for me.
It's okay. Take your time.
Good morning, miss.
Morning.
Do your job. Don't mind me.
Hey.
I can't believe you won't help me.
You deserve it.
Write it yourself.
She's my mother.
I know.
But she asked me to do my job.
Hey, Tung.
Maybe Young won't be coming?
The club is finished without a president.
Let it be then.
We're doomed.
Oh, yes.
Madam President.
Finally, you've come.
Aren't you teaching us the dance?
Come on.
Hey.
What are you waiting for? Do something.
Do what?
Doesn't matter. Apologize first.
Strange
Why do boys always have to apologize first?
Clearly, it's not our fault.
Why is she taking it out on us?
She never thought when she was in a bad mood,
She upset us too?
Ridiculous.
Ignore her.
Why is she pissed off?
Hey.
Hey.
Grrr, you
We'll fail if we don't do the dance.
Oh.
Tung.
I'm sorry.
I didn't deliberately forget it that day.
Let's make peace with each other, please?
Still fighting with Tung?
What is this?
A second-hand phone.
I checked. It works fine.
Dad, thank you.
You're the best.
Shh, quiet.
I didn't let your mom know about it
She didn't suspect you?
The trick you taught me.
A little present works miracle.
It's late.
Go to bed soon.
Tung, look.
My dad got me a new phone.
You forgot you're still fighting with each other?
No, I didn't.
I'm talking to you.
I just called the wrong name.
Sheng, look.
My dad got me a new phone.
Oh, congratulations.
Okay, that's it.
Bye bye.
Tung.
You'll have internal injury by doing that.
None of your business.
Sorry, we're closed.
No, we come to see Young.
Let's talk outside.
Hey, where are you going?
You can talk in here.
Please come in.
Come on in.
Sit, please.
Sit.
It's okay, auntie, thanks.
Young, I really didn't know
He's not saying that to me.
He's saying that to Yen.
Yen.
Don't ask me to be the go-between again.
Say it to Yen yourself.
Shao, say it.
What's going on?
Shh.
She said she liked you.
But I like someone else.
How would I know
How could you do that behind my back?
Besides, you look good together.
And you knew her before me.
I don't care.
I just feel you like her more.
Say something.
Just trust me.
Not to me.
Since we're going out, we should trust each other.
Seriously, I love only you.
It's fine, Shao.
I know you love me the most.
I forgive you.
We're off.
I'll go have a shower.
So, those two are
Times have changed
Tung.
Yesterday Shao and Yen
Are you talking to me?
Mmand then?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Idiot.
Where am I?
It's really not good for your health.
Dear Mercurian,
I wonder if you've ever thought
how the different species from different planets
communicate with each other?
I really love a piano piece.
It's called "Clair de Lune"
Composed by Debussy.
If you have the chance, you should give it a try.
It's the sounds that a Martian
Wants to give to a Mercurian.
I don't fancy Shao.
Hey, you've made your peace?
Not yet.
Then what are you happy about?
I feel happy for you.
Tung says she doesn't fancy Shao.
Is it true?
Yes.
Is it true?
Yes, it's true.
You sure?
Of course.
Tung never lies to me.
She just did, didn't she?
Shut up.
Ouch! -Unbelievable.
Take a break.
Am I cool?
Super cool.
Wow, Young.
You really love men in taekwondo suits.
Not only that.
Right.
You got it from the claw machine?
Mm.
It's a match to the one we got last time.
Very nice of you.
You forgot?
What?
It's been exactly a month since we started going out.
You remember it?
Mm.
Let me ask you one thing.
You must be honest.
Yes.
Are you the Martian?
What?
Has my sweetie lost her mind?
I'm serious.
I'm an earthling.
Not a Martian.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
What are you saying?
Nothing.
And me?
Okay, back to practice.
Go.
Bye bye.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What?
I'm sorry.
You know it's called "an infringement of privacy"?
But you said you fancied Shao.
Because you forgot
our appointment with the tattoo artist.
I apologized countless times to you.
I'm sorry.
I've been a bit too much.
I was upset in the last few days.
So
Do you fancy Shao?
Why are you laughing? Do you?
I told you, didn't I?
You could tell I just wanted to make you angry.
Be serious.
I want to hear you say it again.
No.
No.
I don't fancy Shao.
I feel nothing about him.
For Christ's sake, if it weren't for you,
I wouldn't be bothered to talk to him.
Really?
Yes.
A sporty brainless boy like him
Is more like an ape.
He is indeed an ace.
I mean like a chimp. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? A chip?
I mean like a "monkey".
Tung.
You're talking nonsense.
I'm not but you are.
Something wrong with your hearing?
Something wrong with your brain?
What? Idiot.
You're the idiot!
Yes, I'm an idiot, so what?
I'm an idiot. That's why we're friends.
I think you're the same.
An equal to each other.
I knew it.
Must be him.
Not necessarily.
Yes.
Yen.
What?
You can play the piano, can't you?
Yes.
How did you know?
Nothing.
I heard it by accident.
You've made peace with each other?
What? We didn't fight with each other.
Yeah, what?
We didn't fight with each other.
Ridiculous.
It's you two who are being ridiculous.
Well, no
I mean
Shao and Sheng are being ridiculous.
Don't misunderstand me.
Babe.
Make sure you're available this Sunday.
Tung needs your help.
No need.
Yes.
That's it.
Oh.
Okay, bye bye.
What do they want?
I've no idea.
What?
Babe.
Baby.
Sweetie.
Get off.
Wait for me.
Get off.
Babe, wait for me.
We do everything ourselves.
Like the stage design,
Costume design, everything by ourselves.
So, auntie, I wonder if you could
Donate a bit money.
We're students.
What are you doing at mine?
I came to raise fund for the end-of-year presentation.
Auntie is really nice.
She even allows us to put up the poster.
She looks so young and beautiful.
And kind.
Well, not really.
This school event is good.
At the
WenHall
Wenyu Hall.
It's the school assembly hall.
Well, I'm sorry.
I've been so busy since I moved to Taiwan.
I've no time for learning to read in Chinese.
I started learning English when I was little.
My English is worse than your Chinese.
Auntie is really a language person.
Miss.
Isn't it time for you to go?
Goodbye.
Young.
How can you be so rude to your classmate?
I'm sorry.
Our Young is just like this.
Messy.
Like a monkey.
Always leave things around.
Why are you saying these?
She even broke a phone, you see?
Dad.
No wonder she got a new phone recently, right?
Young.
Did I say anything wrong?
Nothing.
How can I live without a phone?
Two days are too much.
And you say two weeks?
If you keep protesting
It'll be three weeks.
Dad.
Stop calling him.
You two work together to lie to me.
I'll make sure you pay for it.
Well
That phone she had was really too old.
You're speaking up for her?
I wanted to get a phone for my daughter.
Can't I do that?
Right.
You've been living in Taiwan for so long.
And you still haven't learned Chinese.
What do you mean I haven't learned Chinese?
Am I not speaking to you in Chinese?
Or am I speaking to you in Martian?
What?
But you can't read.
I asked her to go to the lessons.
She kept avoiding it.
I'm so busy working. I've no time for learning.
You just go.
I can handle it on my own.
Well.
Chinese is so difficult.
I can't do it.
So
You're lazy.
And you keep making excuses.
You're my daughter.
Why can't you speak Vietnamese?
Why drag me into this?
You're my husband.
Why can't you speak Vietnamese?
I can.
You can? So what?
I can speak Taiwanese too.
Can you?
I can speak Taiwanese.
Of course I can.
I can speak not only Taiwanese
But Hakka.
Soft mochi.
I can speak even Cantonese.
Can you speak Cantonese?
Cantonese?
Yes, I can.
The next stop is Tsim Sha Tsui. Please mind the door.
Hag
Throw
You didn't hear what I said just now, eh?
Did anyone say anything just now?
I don't think so.
You said you didn't like fish sauce.
Yeah, last time you accidentally added it.
You threw away
The whole plate of food.
Oh no, shrimp paste stinks.
Fish sauce is bad enough. Don't add shrimp paste.
Grrr.
You often say shrimp paste is bad for health.
Don't eat it too much.
Don't eat it if you don't like it.
We're just having dinner.
Why are you angry?
What?
I'm not your daughter.
Can't I look at my phone while eating?
What?
Yu-Ming.
Hm?
Whoa.
You're ordering food on foodpanda.
That is
Late night snacks.
And for two.
Thank you, Dad.
Young.
You and your dad work together to lie to me.
No, I don't.
You're still denying?
Then tell me.
Why?
Why does he stay out for so long
when taking the trash out?
Where on earth does he go?
How would I know?
You clearly know your dad is having an affair.
You help him lie to me.
Dad isn't someone like that at all.
He just goes for a smoke in secret.
Just goes for a smoke
in secret?
Hey.
My phone.
Ouch.
Every time my parents have a fight
They drag me in.
Then?
Did you eat the food in the end?
No way.
So you and your dad can't use your phones?
Then what are you using to text me now?
I still keep my old phone. Silly you
You're very impressive.
You persuaded all the store owners.
I was taught a trick.
Just call them "handsome" or "beautiful".
Mei-Yuan Bistro?
I've been there too.
You know when I showed the flyer to the owner,
She even -My mom is Vietnamese.
It's only natural she can't read Chinese, okay?
It's not what I was going to say.
Why are you getting so excited?
Young.
Your family run the bistro?
Your mom is Vietnamese?
Yes.
My mom is Vietnamese, so what?
Nothing.
The food is good.
Hey.
What's wrong with her?
Ignore her.
She's just jealous of you.
You've raised money.
Are you alright?
Alright?
Quietly
Much courage I need to
Get a bit closer to you
What are you doing?
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.
I knew it.
Don't get the wrong idea.
So, you're the Martian.
What Martian?
You've been lying to me.
No, I haven't.
I really didn't know Tung fancied me.
Then who on earth do you fancy?
I've got a girlfriend. Who else do I fancy?
I'm going home.
Young.
Young.
There is really nothing between Tung and me.
Let go of me.
Don't you run after her?
I don't know what's going on. Why should I?
Because you're seeing both of them.
I'm not.
But they both fancy you.
Yep.
So what should I do?
Yen.
Are you alright?
What?
Didn't you get rejected just now?
Yeah, right.
The girl I fancy
Was snatched away by my buddy.
I didn't want to snatch her at all.
Stop.
You didn't want to snatch her.
That makes it even more tragic.
You don't look too sad though.
Stop pretending.
No
I was so shocked that I failed to react.
I'm the one who is shocked.
I need time to digest it.
You two, take your time.
I'm off.
Hey, Sheng.
Hey, where are you going?
Shouldn't you be comforting us?
Come on.
（Ep.4 Girls Are Troublesome）
Young.
I'll go check.
I'm sorry.
Tung.
So, the Martian isn't the art teacher.
Then in the past two weeks,
Who on earth have you been corresponding with?
But didn't you say
They three were the most suspicious?
You worry it might be Shao?
No.
Still so much left.
Tung, you waste a lot of food.
Young.
What?
Why did you come up?
No one is holding the fort.
It's fine.
Just for a minute.
She locked the door?
Shall I go get the key?
No need.
You know she's a cry-baby.
She'll be fine after crying.
Go back to work.
It's okay. They're all regulars.
How can you be so sloppy?
No wonder we never have more customers.
What a crappy phone!
The battery always goes dead at the crucial moment.
Told you ages ago I need a new phone!
A new phone.
You've ruined my life!
（voice message）
I'm having dinner with my colleagues.
Not sure when I'll be home.
Don't wait up for me.
I'll call you when I'm on my way home.
Okay, bye.
Whoa!
Luckily Young hasn't seen you like this.
Or I'll feel so much pressure.
Hey, mister.
Instead of worrying about this,
You should think about how you'll apologize to Young.
Why should he apologize?
He did nothing wrong.
Yep.
I did nothing wrong.
When a girl is angry,
It doesn't matter
If you did anything wrong.
Anyway, apologize to her first.
Seriously, I'm not lying to you.
You sound as if you had girlfriends before.
Before you could walk,
I was seeing Lucia,
the mermaid.
Sheng, I'd like to order.
You two have fun.
Okay. I'm back to work.
All my colleagues are off tonight.
Okay.
Bye bye.
Bye.
Hey
Can you play?
No. Can you?
It doesn't matter.
No one is watching.
That's true.
Young.
Hey.
Well.
Girls are so troublesome.
Yep.
Then do you want to pursue Tung?
She doesn't fancy me.
You give up so easily?
Tell you what.
A real man
Knows when to let go.
There are so many tress in the woods.
So many fish in the sea.
They're all waiting for
Me, Yen.
Before I graduate from senior high,
I'll definitely find one.
Go!
You can do it.
Prince Shao.
You had better stay away from me.
It's all your fault I failed to ask any girls out.
Well.
You're very attractive too.
Really?
If you were a girl,
Between Shao and me,
Who would you choose?
I knew he wouldn't choose me.
I'm not a girl.
How would I know?
Fine.
He doesn't count.
If you were a girl,
Between Sheng and me,
Who would you choose?
Damn, neither of you choose me.
Well, no.
I'm thinking hard.
One is an ex.
The other is a new buddy.
It's hard to choose.
What do you mean "ex"?
Yen.
I'll definitely choose you.
I don't believe you.
Seriously, I like you more.
Don't feel sorry for me. I mean it.
You don't believe me?
Come over.
What do you want?
Come over.
Whoa, what do you want?
I want to prove my love for you.
No need.
No kiss.
Yes.
You turn me down?
You'll break my heart.
If you get closer, I'll
If you get closer,
I'll break your arm.
Come on.
I'm not afraid.
Get off.
Attention, everyone.
Get ready for holding your breath.
Ready, go.
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 get a caterpillar tattoo.
Don't be so bossy.
It's Shao who I fancy.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
Are you alright?
Tung.
Retake the test next time.
Make sure you learn how to hold your breath.
You understand?
Wow, so cool.
Really?
Mm.
You don't feel a caterpillar is disgusting?
Is it?
Sheng, what do you think?
No.
A caterpillar will turn into a butterfly, right?
Wow, it's true.
So, that's what the caterpillar means.
But maybe it's not a caterpillar
But a maggot.
It'll turn into a fly.
You're so wicked. -So rude.
Anyway, it looks great.
Really?
The class is starting. Back to your seats.
Tung.
Go to the school counselor after the class.
Sheng, you too.
Why?
What do you mean why?
We care about you.
It's just a tattoo. Why make such a fuss?
Whoa
Quiet.
Don't argue with me.
You
Talk to the school counselor.
You think we'll be led astray?
Enough. Let's start the class.
Open your math textbook to p.86.
Sir.
Tattoo is an art.
Don't be influenced by the bias in our society.
That's a stereotype.
Whoa.
Enough, enough.
We're in class.
P. 86.
Today we'll learn differential of a function.
You still don't admit she's your girlfriend?
She really isn't.
She likes someone else.
Likes someone else.
Clearly, she's waiting for you to finish work.
No, she isn't.
She just needs a place to stay.
Go.
Hurry up.
Leave the rest to me.
Go, now.
Go.
Or I'll dock your wages.
Put the helmet on.
No.
If you take it off again,
I'll leave you by the roadside.
Fine.
Leave me by the roadside.
If you have the guts, ask your mom directly.
Stop being difficult and making people pity you.
Tung, what are you doing?
I'll go home by myself.
Let me give you a ride.
No need, thanks.
I've been trying so hard not to be stubborn.
And trying so hard to be understanding.
What I hate the most
is people pitying me.
Don't intervene in my business.
You think I love intervening in your business?
Such a bad temper.
No wonder no one dares to ask you out.
My best wishes to Yen as he pursues you.
I feel sorry for Shao as you fancy him.
You're back.
Have you eaten?
Where did you go on that day?
What happened to your hair?
I saw it all.
What did you see?
That hair color is temporary, isn't it?
Yes, don't you think it looks great?
What happened to you?
Did you have a fight with Young?
Yes, we did. We fell out.
All because of you.
Where on earth did you go that day?
What on earth are you talking about?
Which day?
That day I came home very late.
Recently, you come home late every day.
I saw it all.
I saw you play billiards with a guy.
Why did you lie to me?
No wonder you have no time to go out with me.
It turns out you went on a date with that guy.
If you don't want me anymore,
You could have told me.
Make it clear so I wouldn't have become like this.
I'm always very independent.
I can be on my own.
I don't need anyone.
Tung.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
Who on earth was that guy?
He was a friend I met at college.
No way.
How could you meet at college?
He looks so old.
Why did you play billiards together that day?
Just now you said
I had no time for you.
In fact, have you ever thought
It's you who have no time for me?
Really?
Yes.
Since you became good friends with Young last year,
We've rarely hung out with each other.
At first,
I felt a bit lonely.
But later I thought
My daughter was growing up.
One day, she would leave me.
Yeah.
I know.
I always cling to you.
I'm not like you.
You're so independent.
So strong and brave.
But as a mother,
How can I be weaker than my daughter?
So, I thought
I wanted to learn from you.
I wanted to become someone independent
Who can live on their own.
So, Tung
I'm sorry.
Why did you say sorry to me?
I never thought
You would feel so lonely
When I left you on your own.
Well.
It's not that serious.
I was just a bit lonely.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry.
Silly girl.
You're being so insistent.
We can dye it tomorrow.
Hey, you know what?
Your home teacher Mr. Huang
has been pestering me.
He told me about the tattoo on your arm.
You know life is hard for me?
I'm your mother and I also
Need to keep good relationships with my colleagues.
Come on.
Wait for me.
It's okay. Take your time.
Good morning, miss.
Morning.
Do your job. Don't mind me.
Hey.
I can't believe you won't help me.
You deserve it.
Write it yourself.
She's my mother.
I know.
But she asked me to do my job.
Hey, Tung.
Maybe Young won't be coming?
The club is finished without a president.
Let it be then.
We're doomed.
Oh, yes.
Madam President.
Finally, you've come.
Aren't you teaching us the dance?
Come on.
Hey.
What are you waiting for? Do something.
Do what?
Doesn't matter. Apologize first.
Strange
Why do boys always have to apologize first?
Clearly, it's not our fault.
Why is she taking it out on us?
She never thought when she was in a bad mood,
She upset us too?
Ridiculous.
Ignore her.
Why is she pissed off?
Hey.
Hey.
Grrr, you
We'll fail if we don't do the dance.
Oh.
Tung.
I'm sorry.
I didn't deliberately forget it that day.
Let's make peace with each other, please?
Still fighting with Tung?
What is this?
A second-hand phone.
I checked. It works fine.
Dad, thank you.
You're the best.
Shh, quiet.
I didn't let your mom know about it
She didn't suspect you?
The trick you taught me.
A little present works miracle.
It's late.
Go to bed soon.
Tung, look.
My dad got me a new phone.
You forgot you're still fighting with each other?
No, I didn't.
I'm talking to you.
I just called the wrong name.
Sheng, look.
My dad got me a new phone.
Oh, congratulations.
Okay, that's it.
Bye bye.
Tung.
You'll have internal injury by doing that.
None of your business.
Sorry, we're closed.
No, we come to see Young.
Let's talk outside.
Hey, where are you going?
You can talk in here.
Please come in.
Come on in.
Sit, please.
Sit.
It's okay, auntie, thanks.
Young, I really didn't know
He's not saying that to me.
He's saying that to Yen.
Yen.
Don't ask me to be the go-between again.
Say it to Yen yourself.
Shao, say it.
What's going on?
Shh.
She said she liked you.
But I like someone else.
How would I know
How could you do that behind my back?
Besides, you look good together.
And you knew her before me.
I don't care.
I just feel you like her more.
Say something.
Just trust me.
Not to me.
Since we're going out, we should trust each other.
Seriously, I love only you.
It's fine, Shao.
I know you love me the most.
I forgive you.
We're off.
I'll go have a shower.
So, those two are
Times have changed
Tung.
Yesterday Shao and Yen
Are you talking to me?
Mmand then?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Idiot.
Where am I?
It's really not good for your health.
Dear Mercurian,
I wonder if you've ever thought
how the different species from different planets
communicate with each other?
I really love a piano piece.
It's called "Clair de Lune"
Composed by Debussy.
If you have the chance, you should give it a try.
It's the sounds that a Martian
Wants to give to a Mercurian.
I don't fancy Shao.
Hey, you've made your peace?
Not yet.
Then what are you happy about?
I feel happy for you.
Tung says she doesn't fancy Shao.
Is it true?
Yes.
Is it true?
Yes, it's true.
You sure?
Of course.
Tung never lies to me.
She just did, didn't she?
Shut up.
Ouch! -Unbelievable.
Take a break.
Am I cool?
Super cool.
Wow, Young.
You really love men in taekwondo suits.
Not only that.
Right.
You got it from the claw machine?
Mm.
It's a match to the one we got last time.
Very nice of you.
You forgot?
What?
It's been exactly a month since we started going out.
You remember it?
Mm.
Let me ask you one thing.
You must be honest.
Yes.
Are you the Martian?
What?
Has my sweetie lost her mind?
I'm serious.
I'm an earthling.
Not a Martian.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
What are you saying?
Nothing.
And me?
Okay, back to practice.
Go.
Bye bye.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What?
I'm sorry.
You know it's called "an infringement of privacy"?
But you said you fancied Shao.
Because you forgot
our appointment with the tattoo artist.
I apologized countless times to you.
I'm sorry.
I've been a bit too much.
I was upset in the last few days.
So
Do you fancy Shao?
Why are you laughing? Do you?
I told you, didn't I?
You could tell I just wanted to make you angry.
Be serious.
I want to hear you say it again.
No.
No.
I don't fancy Shao.
I feel nothing about him.
For Christ's sake, if it weren't for you,
I wouldn't be bothered to talk to him.
Really?
Yes.
A sporty brainless boy like him
Is more like an ape.
He is indeed an ace.
I mean like a chimp. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? A chip?
I mean like a "monkey".
Tung.
You're talking nonsense.
I'm not but you are.
Something wrong with your hearing?
Something wrong with your brain?
What? Idiot.
You're the idiot!
Yes, I'm an idiot, so what?
I'm an idiot. That's why we're friends.
I think you're the same.
An equal to each other.
I knew it.
Must be him.
Not necessarily.
Yes.
Yen.
What?
You can play the piano, can't you?
Yes.
How did you know?
Nothing.
I heard it by accident.
You've made peace with each other?
What? We didn't fight with each other.
Yeah, what?
We didn't fight with each other.
Ridiculous.
It's you two who are being ridiculous.
Well, no
I mean
Shao and Sheng are being ridiculous.
Don't misunderstand me.
Babe.
Make sure you're available this Sunday.
Tung needs your help.
No need.
Yes.
That's it.
Oh.
Okay, bye bye.
What do they want?
I've no idea.
What?
Babe.
Baby.
Sweetie.
Get off.
Wait for me.
Get off.
Babe, wait for me.
We do everything ourselves.
Like the stage design,
Costume design, everything by ourselves.
So, auntie, I wonder if you could
Donate a bit money.
We're students.
What are you doing at mine?
I came to raise fund for the end-of-year presentation.
Auntie is really nice.
She even allows us to put up the poster.
She looks so young and beautiful.
And kind.
Well, not really.
This school event is good.
At the
WenHall
Wenyu Hall.
It's the school assembly hall.
Well, I'm sorry.
I've been so busy since I moved to Taiwan.
I've no time for learning to read in Chinese.
I started learning English when I was little.
My English is worse than your Chinese.
Auntie is really a language person.
Miss.
Isn't it time for you to go?
Goodbye.
Young.
How can you be so rude to your classmate?
I'm sorry.
Our Young is just like this.
Messy.
Like a monkey.
Always leave things around.
Why are you saying these?
She even broke a phone, you see?
Dad.
No wonder she got a new phone recently, right?
Young.
Did I say anything wrong?
Nothing.
How can I live without a phone?
Two days are too much.
And you say two weeks?
If you keep protesting
It'll be three weeks.
Dad.
Stop calling him.
You two work together to lie to me.
I'll make sure you pay for it.
Well
That phone she had was really too old.
You're speaking up for her?
I wanted to get a phone for my daughter.
Can't I do that?
Right.
You've been living in Taiwan for so long.
And you still haven't learned Chinese.
What do you mean I haven't learned Chinese?
Am I not speaking to you in Chinese?
Or am I speaking to you in Martian?
What?
But you can't read.
I asked her to go to the lessons.
She kept avoiding it.
I'm so busy working. I've no time for learning.
You just go.
I can handle it on my own.
Well.
Chinese is so difficult.
I can't do it.
So
You're lazy.
And you keep making excuses.
You're my daughter.
Why can't you speak Vietnamese?
Why drag me into this?
You're my husband.
Why can't you speak Vietnamese?
I can.
You can? So what?
I can speak Taiwanese too.
Can you?
I can speak Taiwanese.
Of course I can.
I can speak not only Taiwanese
But Hakka.
Soft mochi.
I can speak even Cantonese.
Can you speak Cantonese?
Cantonese?
Yes, I can.
The next stop is Tsim Sha Tsui. Please mind the door.
Hag
Throw
You didn't hear what I said just now, eh?
Did anyone say anything just now?
I don't think so.
You said you didn't like fish sauce.
Yeah, last time you accidentally added it.
You threw away
The whole plate of food.
Oh no, shrimp paste stinks.
Fish sauce is bad enough. Don't add shrimp paste.
Grrr.
You often say shrimp paste is bad for health.
Don't eat it too much.
Don't eat it if you don't like it.
We're just having dinner.
Why are you angry?
What?
I'm not your daughter.
Can't I look at my phone while eating?
What?
Yu-Ming.
Hm?
Whoa.
You're ordering food on foodpanda.
That is
Late night snacks.
And for two.
Thank you, Dad.
Young.
You and your dad work together to lie to me.
No, I don't.
You're still denying?
Then tell me.
Why?
Why does he stay out for so long
when taking the trash out?
Where on earth does he go?
How would I know?
You clearly know your dad is having an affair.
You help him lie to me.
Dad isn't someone like that at all.
He just goes for a smoke in secret.
Just goes for a smoke
in secret?
Hey.
My phone.
Ouch.
Every time my parents have a fight
They drag me in.
Then?
Did you eat the food in the end?
No way.
So you and your dad can't use your phones?
Then what are you using to text me now?
I still keep my old phone. Silly you
You're very impressive.
You persuaded all the store owners.
I was taught a trick.
Just call them "handsome" or "beautiful".
Mei-Yuan Bistro?
I've been there too.
You know when I showed the flyer to the owner,
She even -My mom is Vietnamese.
It's only natural she can't read Chinese, okay?
It's not what I was going to say.
Why are you getting so excited?
Young.
Your family run the bistro?
Your mom is Vietnamese?
Yes.
My mom is Vietnamese, so what?
Nothing.
The food is good.
Hey.
What's wrong with her?
Ignore her.
She's just jealous of you.
You've raised money.
Are you alright?
Alright?
Quietly
Much courage I need to
Get a bit closer to you
What are you doing?
