Summary
of MG2 Episode 14:
Scene opens with San Cai and Ye Sha at the bowling alley. San Cai has just rolled the bowling ball out toward the pins and both San Cai and Ye Sha are staring at the bowling ball. The ball kept on rolling toward the pins but at the last minute, it rolled off the lane and didn’t knock down even one pin at all. San Cai just stood there staring at the pins, disappointed yet again.
Ye Sha (calling from behind San Cai): “Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
San Cai steps aside and Ye Sha picks up a bowling ball and gets another strike.
Ye Sha (turning back to walk toward San Cai): “See, the obstacle is gone. (puts both her hands on San Cai’s shoulders) Ah Si is yours.”
San Cai: “Ye Sha, you can’t sacrifice yourself just because you pity me. The one that Dao Ming Si loves now is you.”
Ye Sha: “This is not sacrificing. I don’t like him.”
Ye Sha turns to walk toward the chairs.
San Cai (walking after her): “You’re lying.”
Ye Sha (sitting down): “Why would I lie to you? Think about it, if because of you, someone loses his memory and because of loneliness, because of feeling helpless, tells you that he likes you, what do you think you would do? In order to make up for the wrong that I have done, I can only try to like him. ‘I know you are on the road back home. I will wait for you. Forever wait for you.’ These are the words that you promised Ah Si. Did you forget? (pause) It was only because I saw the words that you left behind that I decided to stay by Ah Si’s side. Because I was thinking, if I can find the person that left those words and return Ah Si to her, then I can go fulfill my wish to travel around the world. (pause) Now, I have finally found you. I have finally got my freedom back. I’m really very happy. Happy for you and happy for myself.”
Ye Sha starts laughing crazily.
San Cai (confused look): “Ye Sha?”
Ye Sha (still laughing): “Can you imagine the look of Ah Si with nose hair growing out of his head?”
San Cai smiles along with Ye Sha’s laughter.
San Cai: “Ye Sha, thank you.”
Ye Sha: “You don’t have to thank me. He was yours originally. It was me that was driving the car that hit him. It was me that made you go through all this pain. I should say I’m sorry to you.”
San Cai: “Don’t say that.”
Ye Sha: “Right. I should wish you good wishes. Will you give me good wishes too? Early tomorrow morning I can fulfill my wish of traveling around the world.”
San Cai doesn’t say anything. She just looks down at the floor with a sad face.
Ye Sha: “San Cai, wish me good wishes.”
San Cai (looking at Ye Sha): “I not only have to wish you good wishes, Ye Sha, I will miss you.”
Ye Sha (reaching over to hold both of San Cai’s hands): “I will also miss you.”
That night, Ye Sha and San Cai is standing on a bridge, both staring out over the water.
Ye Sha: “We have to say our goodbye soon.”
San Cai (nods her head): “Right.”
Ye Sha (looking over at San Cai): “San Cai, jiao you.”
San Cai turns her head and looks at Ye Sha, nodding her head. Then they stood facing the water again. Ye Sha couldn’t control her emotions anymore and turned to the side trying not to cry. San Cai sees her and turns to face her. Ye Sha gets her emotions under control, turns around and stares up at the sky.
Ye Sha: “Look, the stars are out.”
San Cai turns her head up and stares at the sky.
San Cai (turning to look at Ye Sha): “Ye Sha, jiao you.”
Ye Sha nods her head and they both stare up at the sky again.
Ye Sha: “It was agreed upon. We can’t cry. (looks at San Cai again) You go that way. I’ll go this way. We can’t look at each other’s back and can’t be sad. Have to be happy for the other person. (pause) Ok?”
San Cai (taking a deep breath, turns to face Ye Sha): “Ok.”
Ye Sha: “I count one, two, three and we both turn around. (pause) One, two, three.”
They both turned at three. Ye Sha walks away, but San Cai stood there and she turn around to stare at Ye Sha’s back. After a couple of seconds, San Cai calls out.
San Cai (calling out): “Ye Sha! Ye Sha!”
Ye Sha just keeps on walking, crying uncontrollably.
San Cai (still calling out): “Ye Sha! Ye Sha!”
When Ye Sha still doesn’t answer, San Cai, crying, runs after her. When she reaches Ye Sha, both of them stood there crying.
Ye Sha (crying): “Look at you. You didn’t do what you said you would do.”
San Cai (crying): “Didn’t you say not to cry?”
Ye Sha (wiping her tears): “I didn’t know it was like this.”
San Cai (wiping Ye Sha’s tears): “Stop crying.”
Ye Sha (wiping San Cai’s tears): “You are still crying.”
They both stood there crying and laughing at the same time.
Next morning at the Orange Café, everybody is very busily working.
Da Xin: “Hey, Ah Sing. Why didn’t you come yesterday?”
Dao Ming Si: “Some accident happened with us yesterday.”
Da Xin: “Accident?”
Dao Ming Si: “Right.”
Da Xin: “What happened?”
Ah Lun (sliding a plate with a sandwich toward Da Xin): “Table A’s sandwich. (putting a drink in front of Dao Ming Si) “Table B’s tea.”
Da Xin (taking the plate): “Ok, I’ll take the tea too.”
At this moment, a Benz pulls up outside the café and Mei Zuo gets out of the car. He slowly walks up to the café.
Da Xin (seeing Mei Zuo): “Welcome!”
Dao Ming Si (looking up from the table that he was cleaning): “Wel…”
Da Xin (talking to Mei Zuo): “Mr., one person? Please come in. (no answer) Mr.?”
Ah Lun and Yi Ling both stood there and stare at Mei Zuo.
Da Xin: “Mr.?”
Mei Zuo still doesn’t answer and starts to take off his shirt.
Da Xin: “What are you doing?”
Dao Ming Si just stares at Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo stares back.
Da Xin (in the background): “What are you doing?”
Ah Lun seeing the commotion, quickly runs out from behind the stove counter. Mei Zuo starts to slowly walk up to Dao Ming Si.
Ah Lun (running over): “Hey, Mr. (blocks Mei Zuo and stands in front of Dao Ming Si as though protecting him) What do you want to do?”
Mei Zuo takes off his sunglasses and looks at Dao Ming Si.
Mei Zuo: “If you don’t want to return to your past, then I’ll join you in your present life.”
Dao Ming Si doesn’t say anything but just looks at him. Then Mei Zuo picks up the dirty plate from the table that Dao Ming Si was working on. As he was picking it up, Dao Ming Si grabs hold of the plate on the other side, stopping Mei Zuo.
Dao Ming Si: “You don’t have to do this.”
Mei Zuo: “But I want to.”
Then Mei Zuo proceeds to take the plate from Dao Ming Si’s hand and goes to the other tables and cleans up. Just then another customer walks in.
Da Xin: “Welcome!”
Ah Lun: “Welcome!”
Yi Ling just stands aside watching Mei Zuo clean the table and bring the dirty dishes back to the counter.
Da Xin (to customer): “Please sit. One person?”
Mei Zuo after taking the dishes to the counter, grabs a pad and pen, then walks over to the customer.
Mei Zuo: “Mr. What would you like?”
Customer: “One glass of orange juice and then one sandwich.”
Ah Lun, Da Xin and Yi Ling is still standing there looking at Mei Zuo taking the order while Dao Ming Si goes back to cleaning the table.
Mei Zuo (looking at Ah Lun): “One glass of orange juice and one sandwich.”
Ah Lun (still standing there): “Oh.”
Da Xin seeing Ah Lun as still as a statue, pokes at him to get him moving and Ah Lun runs back to the stove counter. Then Da Xin walks over to the counter where Ah Lun is oiling the stove. Da Xin, Ah Lun, and Yi Ling are all staring at Mei Zuo working.
Da Xin (looking at Mei Zuo, but talking to Ah Lun): “Hey boss, what’s the situation now?”
Da Xin looks from Mei Zuo to Dao Ming Si then back to Mei Zuo.
Da Xin (thinks that Dao Ming Si asked Mei Zuo to come help out): “Oh, I know. It must be that Ah Sing wants to apologize for an offence, so that’s why he’s taking the first step to apologize early. Right?”
Ah Lun: “Then Ah Sing, this fellow, is very impressive. Even the helper that he’s calling for comes in a black Benz?”
Da Xin: “Right.”
Yi Ling (looking over at Mei Zuo): “And he’s very handsome too.”
Ah Lun (looks over at Yi Ling, seeing her dreamy face): “Hey, hey, hey, I’m jealous.”
Mei Zuo (looks over at the three of them): “Is the orange juice and sandwich ready yet?”
Ah Lun (quickly getting back to work): “Oh, oh, oh… Please wait a minute. Almost done.”
Dao Ming Si looks at Mei Zuo some more and then everybody gets back to work.
After work, the four guys, Dao Ming Si, Mei Zuo, Da Xin and Ah Lun all go play basketball together. Mei Zuo and Dao Ming Si were teamed up against Da Xin and Ah Lun. They all seemed to be having a great time together. When they were finished playing, Ah Lun runs over to the grass field where Yi Ling is sitting on a blanket and looking into the mirror.
Ah Lun (running over to Yi Ling and standing there with his chest puffed up, laughing): “Ha, ha, ha. I am the Champion of getting lots of points! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.”
He looks over at Yi Ling but Yi Ling’s not paying any attention to him at all.
Ah Lun: “Quick, call my MVP.”
Yi Ling continues to pay him no mind. Ah Lun picks up a towel and sits down behind Yi Ling, while the other three guys are slowly walking toward them.
Ah Lun (to Yi Ling): “So are you tired from putting on make-up? Let me give you a massage.”
Da Xin (to Mei Zuo): “Hey man, you played pretty good. If that’s the case, then next month’s prize cup is going to be ours, right? However, our tacit agreement, should be… I’m afraid… not going to help us.”
Mei Zuo: “Not a problem. I’ll take care of it. I’ll even take care of the basketball celebration party.”
Ah Lun & Yi Ling: “Wow.”
Da Xin (shocked): “Wow, you’re going to pay for the celebration party too? (turning to Dao Ming Si) Hey, Ah Sing, your friend is so cool.”
Mei Zuo: “Ah Sing?”
Next scene, the five of them are someone in a very grassy field. Dao Ming Si is sitting on a bicycle, Mei Zuo is standing there and the other three are sitting on the grass.
Mei Zuo (with his back to Dao Ming Si): “Ah Sing, seems like the life you have now is very care free.”
Dao Ming Si: “In the past we… I’m talking about F4… would it be like this? Everybody come out and hang around?”
Mei Zuo: “We wouldn’t come here out in the open. (laughing a little) Because you don’t like to sweat. But this is much more fun. (pause) Did you know that at first I thought that what Xi Men told me was too ridiculous? But now, I finally realize that you are living a very happy life. Not at all like in the past. But Ah Si, I still doubt how are able to do this.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “I learn. If you are willing to learn, you can do anything.”
Da Xin (calling out to Mei Zuo): “Hey handsome, you wouldn’t be able to understand. Our Ah Sing’s biggest good point is that he is willing to learn. Aye, you don’t know, the first time that he came to our breakfast café, he made our boss’s anger explode, made him go crazy.”
Ah Lun is laughing crazily as Da Xin was talking.
Mei Zuo (smiling): “Why do you say that?”
Ah Lun (explaining): “Someone wanted to come to the breakfast café to find a job, but he doesn’t even know how to fry an egg. So what else can he do?”
Da Xin (laughing): “Right. And in the end, the 2nd day, he brought along a beautiful girl to demonstrate. (Dao Ming Si rides his bike over to Da Xin, almost running into him, before stopping next to Da Xin.) Hey, hey, hey.”
Dao Ming Si: “At least, I learned.”
Ah Lun: “Who knows how many eggs you wasted in order for you to learn. (sarcastically) You are really very good.”
Da Xin: “Right. What a waste.”
Mei Zuo: “Maybe to you guys, it didn’t have any meaning/significance, but to him, it was really something. (pause) Because his name used to be Dao Ming Si.”
Ah Lun sits up quickly from lying down on the grass on Yi Ling’s leg.
Ah Lun and Da Xin looks at each other in shock and said at the same time, “Dao Ming Si?”
Ah Lun (lying back down): “No wonder you changed your name to Ah Sing.”
Da Xin (making a face): “That name sounds very weird.”
Ah Lun (agrees): “Right.”
Dao Ming Si: “Really?”
Mei Zuo: “Actually, I really envy all of you. I’ve known Ah Si for more than 20 years, but have never seen him fry an egg.”
Ah Lun: “Well of course. He just learned a couple of days ago.”
Dao Ming Si (to Mei Zuo): “If you want to eat, I can fry one for you to eat next time.”
Mei Zuo gives Dao Ming Si a playful punch, smiling.
Da Xin (bouncing the basketball): “Are we still playing?”
Mei Zuo: “Of course.”
Yi Ling: “Ok.”
Da Xin (to Mei Zuo): “Hey handsome, what if I team up with you?”
Mei Zuo: “Ok.”
Ah Lun: “Hey, hey, hey.”
Yi Ling: “My turn to play. My turn to play.”
Next scene in a conference room, Xi Men and his co-workers are in a meeting.
Co-worker 1: “Hey, don’t you guys doubt it. Every year, the 3 holidays bring in a huge amount of cash, so don’t understand estimate the buying power of this year’s Autumn Festival.”
Xi Men is turned away from the table reading a report.
Co-worker 2 (to the first co-worker): “Little kid, you’ve spoken for the better half of the day, and the main point of all of it, is to remind the manager not to forget to hand out Autumn Festival’s bonus money, right?”
Everybody around the table bursts out laughing. Xi Men turns back to the table with a smile.
Xi Men: “After the two of your “reminders”, I guess this time I really can’t forget.”
Everybody: “Thank you Manager.”
Xi Men: “And the fact that the Autumn Festival helps to increase the buying power is a good idea. But I feel that it is still not good enough. After all, our products are not that easy to relate with gift-giving holidays. (pause) It doesn’t matter. Everybody just try and come up with something.”
At this moment, the door opens and Xi Men’s dad comes in. Everybody gets up from their seat and calls out, “Hello, President.”
Xi Men’s dad: “Sit, sit. I just got off the plane and decided to drop by. You all must be working really hard.”
Everybody is still standing. Xi Men’s dad walks over to the table and sits down.
Xi Men’s dad: “Everybody sit.”
Uncle (telling the president): “Xi Men was just holding a meeting. Like father, like son. President, Xi Men only just started working, but he is doing very well. For this quarter’s marketing plan, he has come up with 3 different plans but he’s still not satisfied. He works overtime everyday and is very hardworking.”
Xi Men’s dad (face with no expression): “Really? Hope that he’s not wasting everybody’s time and strength. Everybody who sits here today has more experience than him. I have confidence in you all. Don’t let him show his ‘master air’. I’m not going to bother you guys now.”
Xi Men’s dad gets up from his chair. Everybody gets up and says, “Thank you President.” Xi Men is still sitting in his chair, not looking very happy at all. After the president leaves, everybody sits back down, but the atmosphere has became very awkward.
Xi Men walks into an Uncle’s office.
Xi Men (opening the door): “Uncle, you are looking for me?”
Uncle is sitting on the couch with a file in his hands.
Uncle (calling out to Xi Men): “Come, come. Sit.”
Xi Men walks over to sit on the couch with his back to the door.
Uncle: “I’m looking at this plan of yours. Uncle knows you are very hardworking. But sometimes, working hard will not get you the results that you would want immediately. After all…”
Xi Men (interrupting him): “Uncle, just say what you want to say.”
Uncle: “I’m talking about this case. I’m afraid that it would be too hard to implement.”
Xi Men: “Why?”
At this moment Xi Men’s dad opens the door and walks in.
Xi Men’s dad: “Because you don’t have enough experience.”
Uncle (stands up): “President.”
Xi Men’s dad: “I’ve already looked over your plan. I think you are looking too much into it.”
Xi Men (with his back to his dad): “Really? So it was because I was looking too much into it? I was thinking it was because you are bias.”
Uncle (defending Xi Men): “Actually, this plan is really not that bad. It’s only because Xi Men is so new at this, that’s why there are flaws.”
Xi Men’s dad: “You don’t have to say good words for him. Marketing does not only rely on good ideas. You should follow a person with more experience and learn more. Don’t think just because you are a manager, then everybody will have to listen to you. The people that are below you have more abilities than you do. If it wasn’t because you have me as a dad, did you really think you can become a manager?”
As Xi Men’s dad is saying all this stuff, Xi Men’s hands started knotting into a fist on his knee.
Xi Men’s dad: “Stop wasting other people’s time to dawdle with you. (to Uncle) Come into my office, we have something to discuss.”
Uncle starts to walk over toward Xi Men’s dad. Suddenly Xi Men stands up, facing his dad.
Xi Men: “Then why did you give me this position? If it’s because your other little wives can’t help you born a couple more wiser kids, then I should advise you not to make yourself do something you don’t like.”
Xi Men’s dad: “You don’t have to say those words. If you really have what it takes, then show me a plan that can prove that I saw you wrongly.”
Xi Men: “Give me two more days. If I can’t fix this plan up, then I will give you my resignation letter.”
Xi Men then picks up the file and walks out. He’s standing in the hallway somewhere staring at the plan.
Assistant: “Manager, black coffee.”
Xi Men: “Thank you.”
Assistant: “Manager, I heard about the things with the plan. I… I only want to say… to say… please don’t give up. Let’s… Let’s put more work into it. Also, I can work overtime any time. I… I…”
Xi Men (smiling): “Why are you so nervous?”
Assistant: “Actually… actually, I really want to say thank you to you. (he bows) Thank you Manager for looking after me. If it wasn’t because of you, even if I work my whole life, I would not be in the position that I am in now. At first, I was always thinking that you second generation masters, would never make any progress. But these past few days, I saw Manager’s hard work and I’m more and more happy that I get to work with you. So… so, please don’t give up. I will support you. I will back you up. Even though, my support and back up is not much, but I… I…”
Xi Men: “Thank you.”
Assistant: “You are welcome. No, I meant to say…”
Xi Men (gives him a pat on the arm): “Your support and back up has a lot of meaning to me now, but I want to ask you to do something that has even more meaning.”
Assistant: “Not a problem. What do I do?”
Xi Men: “First call home and say that you have to work overtime tonight. Then search and bring me all the marketing plans for the past five years.”
Assistant: “Not a problem. We will fight with him this evening! (pause) I’ll go get ready now.”
That night at San Cai’s home, the phone is ringing and Mom goes to pick it up. As she gets near it, the phone stops ringing. Then the door bell started ringing so she goes to get the door.
Mom (calling out): “Coming!”
She opens the door and sees a man wearing a very nice suit standing there.
Mom: “Eh, who are you sir?”
Dad’s Manager: “I am your husband’s manager.”
Mom: “Manager? Oh, you are very welcome here. You really are a very caring and loving manager. You even come to our home to ask about us. I really want to thank you. Come, please go in.”
Manager: “It’s like this Mrs. Dong. If there wasn’t something that I need to say, then I wouldn’t come here.”
Mom: “Well, of course. I will remember each and every word that you tell me and when my husband comes back from work, then I’ll repeat it to him. I would repeat it, remember it and have it memorized in my head.”
Manager: “Actually, there is only one thing. Your husband stole the company’s car.”
Mom (shocked): “Stole car?”
Manager nods his head.
Mom (laughs): “Manager, you must be telling a joke. How can that be? You must be joking.”
Manager: “This is not a mistake, Mrs. Dong. The showroom’s keys are looked after by your husband and also the security cameras at work have recorded the whole procedure of how he took the car very clearly.”
Mom (loudly): “No! That cannot be! Even though my husband doesn’t have any improvements in his whole life, but he will definitely not do anything to embarrass our family. Especially if it’s against the law, because he wouldn’t dare! Manager, you must have made a mistake! You cannot wrongly accuse an innocent person. YOU CANNOT! My husband will absolutely not do something like that.”
Manager: “Mrs. Dong, just tell your husband to hurry up and drive the company’s car back or else the company will call the police. That’s all I have to say. I’m leaving now.”
Mom: “Call the police? (calling loudly after the manager’s back) Manager! Manager! Our family’s pa pa will absolutely not do the thing that you just said!”
The phone inside the house starts ringing again and Mom runs back in to answer the phone.
Mom (on phone): “Hello? Pa pa! Where are you now? (pause) Meet in front of Warner Village Store? (pause) Pa pa. I have something to ask you. (he hangs up) Pa pa! PA PA!
Mom (hangs up the phone, upset and talking to herself): “What is going on?”
Dad is driving the car around the Warner Village Store area looking for mom and Mom is running over to the store as quickly as she can. When she gets there, she looks around frantically for Dad. Dad sees mom standing there and calls out to her from the car.
Dad: “AYE! MA MA! MA MA! (mom looks over and sees dad) It’s me! Hurry up and get in the car. I can’t stop the car here. Hurry! (mom looks around and runs over to the car) Hurry and get in the car. Hurry.”
Mom gets into the car.
Dad (laughs): “Look. Isn’t this car great? Put on your seatbelt and let’s get going. I’m bringing you around for a drive.”
Dad is driving mom around and talking.
Dad: “Aye, this is definitely a good car. It feels very steady right? Sitting in this high class car, makes one have a high class feeling, right ma ma? Comfortable? Enjoying yourself?”
Mom hasn’t spoken a word since she got in the car.
Mom (breaking her silence): “Pa pa. Where did you get this car?”
Dad: “Eh… Ma ma. I remember the time when I proposed to you, I said that I would make you be a very happy Mrs. Dong. But after you married me, I only made you live such a hard life and not have any bit of good days. So tonight, I want to make you enjoy the feel of a high class car. I’ll drive you around and enjoy the scenery. (sighs) I always think, even if I have a good for nothing future, at least I have made you happy for this one day.”
All the time that Dad’s is talking, Mom is looking very touched and there are tears in her eyes too.
Dad: “It’s been so many years, at last today, I’m able to make this dream come true. (sigh) Ma ma, Happy Birthday.”
They stop for a red light and Mom finally starts letting her tears fall.
Mom (crying, reaches over for dad’s hand): “Pa pa. Thank you.”
Dad takes mom’s hand and gives her a kiss on it. Mom takes dad’s hand and holds it to her heart.
Mom and Dad had drove to a mountain somewhere and they are standing there, looking out at the night scenery of Taipei.
Dad: “Ma ma, are you happy today?”
Mom nods her head.
Dad: “I feel that today has been a wonderful day.”
Mom: “Pa pa. Actually it never matter to me, what kind of life we live. And it never matter to me, if Pa pa gave us good days to live. Because I know that Pa pa you are very hard working. So, just as long as I’m with you, everyday to me, are happy good days.”
Dad (hugs mom to him): “Ma ma. I wish that you will always be this happy.”
Lei is back in Taipei from Japan and he is waiting outside of San Cai’s home. As he is waiting on the side, he sees San Cai’s parents driving the car home.
Mom: “Pa pa. Let’s just park the car here. Our home’s road is so small, if we drive it in, and scratched it, then how are we going to pay for it?”
Dad: “Right.”
Mom: “Then you hurry up and drive the car back and return it.”
Dad: “Right, I was thinking about returning the car. I was driving you back first so that this evening can be perfect and bring you good memories.”
Mom: “Thank you Pa pa.”
Dad then gets out of the car and runs over to open the door for mom to get out. At this time, the manager walks up to them with two policemen with him. Dad tries to explain that he didn’t steal the car.
Dad: “No, Manager. It’s like this. I wanted to be able to sell lots of cars, so today, I drove the car out and give it a try to better learn about it’s performance and functions. That way, after I examine each of the car’s performance and functions then I will drive the car back to the company.”
The manager doesn’t listen and stands aside with his arms crossed. One of the policeman walks over to Dad and takes the keys out of his hands, then he looks inside the car.
Policeman (turning to Dad): “Please come with us.”
Dad: “Go with you? You want to try the car? Ok, I’ll bring you. This car’s performance is very good.”
Policeman: “Stop playing dumb. Please come with us to the police station.”
Dad: “Is it really that serious? Manager, it’s really not necessary.”
Mom: “Manager! Please forgive my husband. This is the first time my husband steals a car.”
Dad: “Don’t say stuff like that! Who’s stealing the car? Do I look like someone who would steal a car? (turning to the policeman) I’m only borrowing the car.”
Mom: “Right, this is the first time he is borrowing a car.”
Manager: “Lao Dong, the car is the property of the company. Do you think you can borrow it that easily? The company would not accept this sort of behavior and I would also have to be responsible. (turns to the policeman) Mr. Policeman, sorry for the trouble.”
The policemen goes over to arrest Dad and at this moment, San Cai is standing in the background and seeing all the commotion.
Mom (holding on to dad’s arm): “There must be some mistake, Mr. Policeman!”
Policeman: “This Mrs., please don’t get in the way of our work.”
Mom (trying to get the policeman’s hands away from dad’s arm): “You are making a mistake. Don’t arrest my husband!”
San Cai starts running over to where they were all struggling.
San Cai: “Ma, what are you doing? Ma. What’s going on?”
Mom (crying): “San Cai.”
The policemen finally was able to get dad away from mom. Mom’s is in the background crying loudly.
San Cai (holding onto mom and calling out to the policemen): “Wait a minute. What did my dad do? Why are you arresting him?”
Mom: “San Cai, hurry up and tell them that Pa pa would not steal a car.”
San Cai (looking at mom): “Steal a car?”
Dad: “San Cai, please believe in Pa pa. I didn’t steal the car. I just borrowed it.”
San Cai: “You said my Pa stole a car. Do you have proof?”
Manager: “Miss, your dad stole the company’s car and now the evidence is here.” (he points to the car parked on the side)
San Cai (looking at the car): “That can’t be. There must be a misunderstanding.”
Lei suddenly walks out from where he was standing before.
Lei: “Sorry.”
San Cai (surprised): “Lei.”
Lei (speaking to San Cai’s dad): “Uncle, is this the car that I ordered from you?”
San Cai: “Lei, when… when did you…”
Manager (walking up to Lei): “Master Hua Ze. You are saying you ordered this car?”
Lei: “Yes.”
Manager (turns to Dad): “Lao Dong, what’s going on?”
Dad (stuttering, not knowing how to answer): “Eh… I…”
Lei: “Because I needed a car immediately tonight, so I asked Uncle to help me drive it here.”
Mom (suddenly knowing that dad is going to be alright, happily calls out): “Pa pa!”
Dad also understanding, happily runs back over to Mom’s side.
Lei (to Dad): “We’ve agreed to bring the car here, right Uncle?”
Dad: “Right, right, right.”
San Cai turns to look at Lei and Lei smiles at her.
On a little arch bridge in the park, San Cai and Lei is standing there talking.
San Cai: “Lei, thank you.”
San Cai is crying and Lei takes out a pack of tissues and hands it to her.
Lei: “Do we need to be so courteous to each other?”
San Cai wipe her tears while Lei turns and stares out at the water.
San Cai: “Why do you always appear when I am at the weakest time?”
Lei (still staring at the water): “San Cai, have you ever think about (pause) if Ah Si never regains his memory, (he turns to look at her) then how would this world change? (pauses) The earth will still turn. (pause) The sun will still rise every day. (pause) The star will still be seen in the night sky. You still work hard for a living and I will still sleep 12 hours each day. (pause) Nothing has changed.”
San Cai: “Right. Nothing has changed. The only thing that changed is that Dao Ming Si has left me.”
Lei: “Don't worry, Ah Si only wants to forget. Who knows which day he will remember everything.”
San Cai sits down on the ledge and Lei sits down next to her.
Lei: “San Cai, there are still many tomorrows waiting for you in this world.”
San Cai (looking at Lei): “It is good that you are back... (crying and puts her head on his shoulder) It is good that you are back...”
Lei places his hand on her back and slowly rubs it to give her comfort.
Next morning at Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha’s apartment. Dao Ming Si wakes up and suddenly sits up on the floor. He looks around and jumps up on his feet. As he was about to walk pass the wall, he stops and turns to stare at it. On the wall was a picture of Ye Sha’s back with a note that says, ‘Take care’ attached to the side. Dao Ming Si slams both hands on the wall and then grabs the note in his right hand and crumbles it up. Then he quickly runs out of the room.
Ye Sha is walking on the street all by herself. She stops at the side of the street and thinks back to the time when she first got to Taipei with Dao Ming Si. Suddenly, as she was crossing the street, she drops down on her knees in pain. Someone standing next to her, seems to want to help her when she falls down on the ground.
Meanwhile, San Cai is standing at the airport, seeming to be waiting for someone. At this moment, Dao Ming Si walks into the airport and frantically searches around. As he was walking around, he sees San Cai. San Cai turns and notices Dao Ming Si also.
San Cai (surprised): “Dao Ming Si.”
Dao Ming Si (walking quickly over to her and grabs her right shoulder roughly): “Where’s Ye Sha?”
San Cai: “I don’t know. I’ve waited for a long time, but haven’t seen her yet.”
Dao Ming Si (suspicious): “Why are you here at the airport? (he grabs at her other shoulder roughly) Did she tell you she was going to Barcelona?”
San Cai (scared of the Dao Ming Si in front of her, shakes her head): “She said she was going to travel around the world.”
Dao Ming Si (not believing her): “She… What exactly did you say to her? Why did you force her to leave? (starts to shake her roughly) Why are you so selfish?! Why are you so selfish! (pause) I will never forgive. I will never forgive you!”
San Cai frees herself from Dao Ming Si’s hold and then gives him a slap on the face.
Dao Ming Si turns back to look at her with anger on his face.
San Cai: “I just only wanted to see if I can wake you up.”
Dao Ming Si looks angrily at San Cai and then turns to leave.
San Cai (calls after him): “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si is standing at the riverside and staring out. Then he’s back at the first apartment where he and Ye Sha lived when they first came to Taipei. He had a paintbrush and a bucket of paint in his hand. He proceeded to paint over the words that San Cai had written on the wall. Back at the Grandma’s apartment, Dao Ming Si is in a bad mood and is throwing a tantrum. He started kicking the coconut lanterns around. Then he picks one up and runs out to the river with it. He wants to throw the coconut away, but in the end, he couldn’t do it and threw it on the ground instead. He sits by the river calming himself down and then goes over to the coconut and picks it up. He goes home and sits up on the rooftop with the coconut in his hand.
Dao Ming Si: “She should have already arrived in Barcelona. (pause) Maybe she is at the winery now. Too bad you never went over to the winery there. (pause) Sha Ge’s food is different than he himself. (pause, looking out at the sunset) Also, the sunset over here is so different than over there.”
