Summary
of MG2 Episode 6:
Scene opens where Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha are in a park. Dao Ming Si is awake and sitting on a bench while Ye Sha is asleep lying on the bench using Dao Ming Si’s right leg as a pillow. He sits there watching her sleep and apparently, his leg started to feel numb because he’s making faces like he’s in pain. Ye Sha finally wakes up and Dao Ming Si had the face of relieve behind her back. Ye Sha stretches and yawns.
Dao Ming Si: “You still haven’t slept enough?”
Ye Sha: “You didn’t sleep all night?”
Dao Ming Si: “How can I sleep in this kind of place? Also, there’s this pig that was using my leg as a pillow to sleep on all night, made me afraid to move around. Even when there are mosquitoes, I don’t dare hit it.”
Ye Sha (smiling sweetly): “Why didn’t you say anything to me?”
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “Nonsense. What was I suppose to say? I was afraid I’d wake you up.”
Dao Ming Si sits there massaging his right leg. All a sudden, he slaps himself because a mosquito was flying around.
Ye Sha (reaches out and grabs his hand): “Ok, already. We were able to save our lives, that’s not bad already.”
Dao Ming Si (looking like a parent scolding a child): “So you did know that it was dangerous.”
Ye Sha (looking innocent): “What do you mean?”
Dao Ming Si: “First there’s the burglar, then there’s the kidnapper. Why do you like fighting with other people? Why do you like making people worry? Does that make you happy?”
Ye Sha (confused and staring at Dao Ming Si): “Huh?”
Dao Ming Si (turns to look at her, mimicking): “Huh? Huh what huh? You are a stupid woman, rotten woman, pig. Are you a pig? I’m telling you for the last time, I won’t allow you to take your own body/health so lightly. I won’t allow you to use your own life to fight with other people’s. I won’t allow you…” (voice trails off)
Ye Sha stares at him smiling the whole time.
Dao Ming Si (stuttering): “I won’t allow… (still stuttering) I won’t allow you anything so that’s that.”
Ye Sha starts laughing.
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “What are you laughing at?”
Ye Sha (still laughing): “Very happy. You use to not talk or say anything at all and now you’re scolding at people. You’re improving very quickly.”
Dao Ming Si stares at her while she continues laughing. Then,
Dao Ming Si (with his hands over his stomach): “You’re not hungry?”
Ye Sha (with her hands over her stomach): “Very hungry.”
Dao Ming Si: “Why are you copying me?”
Ye Sha: “You’re the one that’s copying me.”
A couple of steps away, an old man is pushing along a bicycle selling pork buns or some kind of buns. Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha both scrambling in their pocket looking for money.
Dao Ming Si: “Do you have money? I don’t have any.”
Ye Sha (taking some change out of her pocket): “I have. I have.”
Dao Ming Si (looking over): “How much?”
Ye Sha (counting change): “$12”
Dao Ming Si (unbelievable tone): “$12?!?!? What…”
They used the money to buy one bun and split it in half to share.
Ye Sha (taking a bite): “Hmm, delicious.”
Dao Ming Si (eating & talking at the same time): “Didn’t know that $12 can by something this delicious to eat.” (He stuffs the rest of the bun into his mouth.)
Ye Sha (looking at him): “You ate so fast.”
Dao Ming Si, still chewing, turns over to stare at the other half of the remaining bun in Ye Sha’s hands. She sees him staring and quickly turns away, taking a bigger bite.
Dao Ming Si: “Do you have another $12?”
Ye Sha: “You look yourself.”
Dao Ming Si looks around him then turns back to stare at Ye Sha’s bun. She quickly turns away again.
Next scene, Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha is walking away from the park.
Dao Ming Si: “What are we going to do?”
Ye Sha: “Do about what?”
Dao Ming Si: “What are we going to do from now on? We can’t stay here forever.”
Ye Sha: “Well, of course go look for another place to live. If not, there might be another Zhong Ze and then what?”
Dao Ming Si: “The problem is that we met up with a burglar and then you put up the newspaper advertisement, so now we have no money to rent a place.”
Ye Sha: “Let’s use the $2 left over to call Mrs. Hui.” (the lady that Sha Ge knows, who rented the place for them to live in the first place.)
Dao Ming Si: “Ok. Let’s go find a phone.”
Ye Sha: “Ok.”
Dao Ming Si is speaking on a pay phone with Mrs. Hui.
Mrs. Hui: “You’re right. If it was me, I wouldn’t dare continue living there either. But the thing is that our home already has a lot of people, if we add the two of you… that would be too crowded. Ah, there’s an old lady living near here, who’s tenant just moved away and she has a very kind heart, so you could talk to her about renting.”
Dao Ming Si: “Really? Ok, thank you.”
Dao Ming Si hangs up the pay phone.
Dao Ming Si (to Ye Sha): “She said there’s an old lady who might a have a place to rent. It’s not far from here.”
Ye Sha (pointing to paper in Dao Ming Si’s hand): “This address?”
Dao Ming Si: “Yes.”
They both head off to find the home of the old lady. They meet up with an old lady outside the house.
Ye Sha: “Hi Grandma, how are you?”
Grandma: “Who are you looking for?”
Ye Sha:
“Mrs. Hui recommended us to come and rent a place here.”
Dao Ming Si (showing Grandma the paper): “Right, she wrote this for us. She
said that over here there might be…”
Grandma (looks at Dao Ming Si, then turns to walk away): “Nothing to rent.”
Ye Sha (walking after her): “But Grandma, we come from another country and we really need a place to live.”
Grandma: “You, young people, don’t behave well (follow rules). I’ve had enough. Not renting!”
Dao Ming Si (getting defensive): “If you don’t want to rent, then don’t rent. Why do you have to be so mean? Being young people are against the law?”
Ye Sha (speaking softly to Dao Ming Si, trying to restrain him): “Forget it.”
Dao Ming Si (brushing her away): “What’s there to be afraid of? Said we young people don’t follow rules/behave well, what about yourself? So old and have no manners. (looking back at Ye Sha) She really doesn’t.”
Grandma (backing up): “The two of you, what are your relationship?”
Dao Ming Si / Ye Sha: “Friend / Brother and sister.” (Both spoke at the same time.)
Grandma: “What’s your budget/income?”
Dao Ming Si / Ye Sha: “None / It varies.” (Both spoke at the same time again.)
Grandma: “Not well behaved. Liars, not renting!”
Grandma starts walking away, but almost trips over her shoelaces and drops her keys. She wanted to bend down, but her bad leg was giving her a problem.
Dao Ming Si sees this and starts kneeling down in front of her.
Grandma: “Hey, what are you doing?”
Dao Ming Si picks up her keys, ties her shoelaces for her and gives her back the keys. He and Ye Sha then starts walking away. Grandma looks after them, smiles to herself and got inside her car.
Ye Sha: “You got hooked on tying shoelaces?”
Dao Ming Si: “No. I just feel that the Grandma is so old and have such a big temper, she must be very strong. But I feel regretful of the way I was so mean to her.”
Grandma driving by slowly in her car, calls out.
Grandma: “Aye, rent is $5,000. Three month deposit. If you don’t have enough money, wait till you have enough income, then pay me as soon as possible. Also, you can’t have any pets, can’t bring strangers home. After using the pots, pans, cups, chopsticks, don’t leave them in the sink. After 10 p.m. and before 7 a.m., don’t make any noise. And last, don’t call me “Grandma.” If you break any of the above rules, you will get thrown out.”
After she said all that, she drives away. Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha watching her drive away, shouts, “Thank you Grandma!” Both run after the car and jump around happily laughing.
Grandma shows them to the apartment on the second floor.
Grandma: “Take a look yourself.”
Dao Ming Si: “This one?”
Grandma: “What?”
Dao Ming Si: “Ah, nothing. The furniture.” (the room was totally empty.)
Grandma: “You don’t want?”
Ye Sha: “Grandma, did anyone live in this room?”
Grandma: “Do you have a problem with it? You don’t want to rent anymore?”
Ye Sha: “That’s not it.”
Grandma: “Ok, ok, take care of the things yourself.” (Grandma leaves.)
Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha explore around the new apartment. The place has a huge balcony area.
Ye Sha (looking at the scenery): “Wow, very beautiful.”
Dao Ming Si: “What is our next step?”
Ye Sha (looking up at the sky): “Ask God for help. (pauses) Let’s go.”
San Cai walking around the street all by herself.
Thinking: “Been back to Taiwan for more than a week already, I have stopped the urge to cry all of a sudden, have stopped the tears from falling. But I still am scared to stay at home, because I don’t want mom and dad to worry about me.”
San Cai stops walking and sits down on a nearby bench.
Thinking: “However, no matter where I run to, I still can’t run away from myself, and can’t run away from… Dao Ming Si.”
San Cai continues walking and walked back to the place that Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha use to live. She got into the house and sits staring at the map painted on the wall by Ye Sha. Flashbacks from San Cai’s mind: San Cai throwing up on Dao Ming Si’s Armani suit at Jing’s party. Dao Ming Si saving her from the school bully’s at the school ground. The time when he said if you say you didn’t do it, I believe you. The time when Dao Ming Si was chasing the bus that San Cai was on. The kiss they shared after he gave her the meteor necklace on the balcony at his home. End of flashback. San Cai writes on the wall. Writing: “Dao Ming Si, I won’t give up. I know you are on the road back home, so I’m going to wait for you. Forever waiting for you to find yourself.”
Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha is at a garbage dump looking through the furniture that people have thrown away. Dao Ming Si is carrying some sort of book case or rack and walking away. Ye Sha is dragging a rug with her.
Ye Sha (stops and pointing): “There’s more on that side.”
Dao Ming Si (not looking back): “These are enough. I’m very tired.”
Ye Sha: “But there’s nothing back at the house. (pulling rug, stops and looks back) Hey, there’s really a lot more.”
Scene shifts to San Cai walking and stopping at the corner of a street. She sees an electronic billboard that is used for advertisements and takes out her cell phone to call the company.
San Cai: “Hello, how are you? I want to ask how much does it cost to advertise on your company’s electronic billboard? (pauses) Oh, it’s by the minute? Well then how much is a minute? (gasp) So expensive?”
San Cai, looking disappointed, hangs up the phone and stares at the billboard again.
Ye Sha & Dao Ming Si is decorating their apartment. Ye Sha is using dry leaves to decorate the wall. Dao Ming Si sees this and takes it down to throw away.
Ye Sha (taking the leaves back): “What are you doing?”
Dao Ming Si: “What? To throw. “
Ye Sha: “Throw? How can you throw it away?”
She takes it back and continues to stick them on the wall. Next scene, Ye Sha is shaking out a blanket and a cloud of dust flies up. Dao Ming Si walks by carrying some things and was about to sneeze when Ye Sha puts her finger to his nose to stop him from sneezing. But the moment she takes it away, he sneezes anyway.
After a whole day of moving and decorating, Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha is very tired. They are both outside, carrying more stuff home when Ye Sha finally drops the blanket she’s holding to the ground and stops.
Ye Sha: “I can’t…. Very tired… Very thirsty.”
They stopped in front of a club/bar and there was a beer drinking contest going on. Both Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha participated in the contest. Inside the club:
Dao Ming Si (finished drinking a mug): “Hey, I can’t drink anymore.”
Ye Sha (also finished drinking a mug): “I still can. (shouting to the bartender) Give me another one.”
Dao Ming Si (trying to stop her): “If you continue like this, you’ll get drunk.”
Ye Sha: “I won’t.”
Dao Ming Si: “If you get drunk, I’m not carrying you back.”
Ye Sha: “It’s ok.” (drinking another mug)
Everybody around was chanting, “You can do it.”
Ye Sha finishes and everybody was chanting, “Prize money.”
Dao Ming Si grabs Ye Sha by the shoulders, very happy.
Dao Ming Si (excited): “We get the prize money.”
But at this moment a big chubby guy walks up to Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha.
Guy: “Drink beer.” (He’s probably issuing a challenge or something.)
Ye Sha (looking at the guy): “I can do it. Let’s go.”
Ye Sha and the guy both drinking an extra, extra large mug of beer and both finished it up.
Guy: “Again.”
Ye Sha: “I can do it.”
They both finish another large mug, but this time the guy can’t take it anymore and after drinking, started wobbling toward Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si pushes him away. Ye Sha wins the contest and Dao Ming Si holds her wrists, waving back and forth excited.
Ye Sha (drunken state): “I won… I won…” (She starts falling backwards and Dao Ming Si catches her.)
Dao Ming Si is carrying the drunken Ye Sha on his back and the blanket underneath his right arm home. Ye Sha is on his back mumbling, “Drink again… Drink again.”
Ye Sha: “Not scared… (paused) Can do it… (paused) Drink again…” (laughing crazily)
Dao Ming Si finally reaches home and struggles to carry Ye Sha up the stairs.
Ye Sha (mumbling): “Again.”
Dao Ming Si: “Again your head again. Getting so drunk.”
Ye Sha (more mumbling): “Can do it… Again…”
Dao Ming Si (struggling up the stairs): “Again your head.”
He finally makes it up the stairs and drops her on the bed. Then he goes to wet a towel and cleans her face with it. Suddenly, Ye Sha sits up looking very sober.
Ye Sha: “Hey, did you take the prize money?”
Dao Ming Si: “You were sober all this time? You don’t know how to drink and lied and said you did. Then got so drunk.”
Ye Sha: “You lied too.”
Dao Ming Si: “What did I lie about?”
Ye Sha (slurring again): “Didn’t you say you weren’t going to bring me back? (slowly she starts to fall asleep, mumbling) Your back.. it was very comfortable.”
Dao Ming Si: “You…”
Ye Sha has fallen asleep on his shoulder, using it as a pillow, then she started slipping off the bed until she’s half on the bed and half off the bed. Dao Ming Si uses his foot to move her but didn’t get any response.
Meanwhile, San Cai, Lei, Mei Zuo, and Xi Men is in a bar. San Cai is sitting by herself and Lei walked over to sit next to her. Mei Zuo and Xi Men is arguing in the background.
Lei: “San Cai, what are you thinking about?”
Xi Men (talking to Mei Zuo): “The problem is you made this whole thing so complicated.”
Mei Zuo: “It’s not…”
San Cai (answering Lei): “I’m thinking there’s something I want to discuss with you guys.”
Xi Men (still talking to Mei Zuo): “So what exactly are you saying? I think it’s so strange.”
San Cai (looking over at Mei Zuo & Xi Men, but talking to Lei): “What are they arguing about?”
Xi Men (hearing San Cai’s words): “Who’s arguing with him?”
Lei: ”We’re thinking if there’s any other way that we can look for Ah Si.”
Xi Men (walking over to Lei & San Cai): “Mei Zuo thought of 800 ways but within those 800 ways, all of them require big commotions.”
Mei Zuo (defending himself): “There’s still way #801 which is the four of us can go out and search around ourselves and see if we can meet up with Ah Si in the streets.”
Xi Men (sarcastically): “Thank you.”
Mei Zuo (just as sarcastic): “You’re welcome. (pause) If you’re so good, then you think of a way without making a big commotion.”
San Cai (interrupting the argument): “Sorry. But there’s something I don’t understand. Why can’t we make a big commotion?”
Xi Men (looking at Mei Zuo): “Because it’s stupid.”
Mei Zuo (replying back): “And you’re not?”
San Cai: “OK, forget I asked. The two of you stop arguing.”
Xi Men (serious tone): “San Cai, I think that Zhong Ze is not the only enemy that I have.”
Mei Zuo: “Not only you. You should say that the amount of people who would want revenge against F4, is not little.”
Lei: “And Ah Si is not a normal person. He’s the heir to the Dao Ming family. So no matter what, we can’t take the chance. (pauses, looking at San Cai) Didn’t you have something to say to us?”
San Cai: “Huh? I forgot already.”
San Cai was thinking about talking to F3 about the electronic billboard, but after hearing their conversation, she was afraid to bring it up.
San Cai is back in her apartment (the place that Lei rented for her back in MG1). She couldn’t sleep and takes out her savings account book.
San Cai (looking at the figure in the savings book): “So little? That’s right. Before going to Spain, I wasn’t working and then when I came back… But if my budget was more flexible… (she rummages around the desk drawer) Where’s the calculator?”
San Cai’s mom and dad is sitting around a table with bills all over the tabletop. San Cai’s dad is calculating all the bills on the calculator.
Dad (punching #’s on the calculator): “Insurance bills, water bills, electric bills, wedding money.”
Mom (looks up): “What wedding money?”
Dad: “This guy at the company is getting married next week.”
Mom (in disgust): “What’s he marrying for? These kind of people are so hateful. Give him $600 only.”
Dad (in disbelief): “$600?!?!?! How can you give $600? So embarrassing.”
Mom: “We can’t even pay for San Cai’s tuition, who cares if it’s embarrassing or not?” (looking down at calculator) What?! Such a big difference?”
Dad: “Shhh, lower your voice. San Cai’s not asleep yet.”
Mom (starts getting all teary and sad): “Don’t think I don’t know. These couple of days, San Cai just rolls around on her bed and can’t fall asleep until day break. It wasn’t easy sending San Cai to Ying De and thought that after she meets Master Ah Si, that would be like meeting a big treasure, but who would think that it was just meeting a bunch of big problems instead. The happy, easy going daughter is now so sad and down.” (she starts crying)
Dad: “Mother, we can’t be sad. We said, for San Cai, we have to be strong.”
Mom (drying her tears): “Strong? Yes… Then let’s take a look at which expense we can do away with. Ok? Oh and starting from tomorrow, we start eating vegetarian. Since we are both so healthy anyway.” (she’s referring to both of their chubbiness.)
Suddenly San Cai’s dad starts crying.
Mom: “Dad, if you don’t want to eat vegetarian, you don’t have to start crying.”
Dad: “It’s not whether we eat vegetarian or not…”
Mom: “Then what’s the problem?”
Dad (bawling): “I’m just thinking, I’m so useless. Being a dad, San Cai is starting school again and I can’t pay for her tuition. What use am I?”
Meanwhile, San Cai was behind the door listening in to their conversation all along.
Next day, San Cai is finish working at the pastry shop and was leaving.
San Cai: “I’m leaving now, boss.”
Boss: “Aye, San Cai. Wait a minute. There’s a slice of cake left over, bring it home. (She takes out the slice of strawberry mousse cake.)
San Cai sees the cake, her expression turns very sad and remembers the strawberry mousse cake that she shared with Dao Ming Si in Spain.
San Cai: “That’s ok. My next job comes with a dinner.”
Boss: “You found another job?”
San Cai: “Yes.”
Boss: “Why are you working so hard? Tiring yourself out?”
San Cai: “It’s not tiring. I get money. So why would I be tired? I’m off. Bye.”
Xi Men goes to a club/bar. One of his friends work there and he’s bringing him a bottle of red wine to try. He was going to leave but his friend stopped him saying that they have some new girls today (girls that sell drinks to customers.) San Cai walks out of the back room with another girl, but then quickly ducks back in. Xi Men turns his head and misses her. He then leaves the club asking for a rain check.
Inside the back room, San Cai is dressed in a red polka dot mini skirt and a pink sleeveless tank with a huge red bow on top of her head.
Girl1: “What are you doing?”
San Cai: “I can’t. Look at the way I’m dressing. You want me to go out like this? I’d rather jump into the ocean and kill myself.”
Girl2: “No choice. Trying to earn money.”
San Cai (sighs): “You’re right.”
She walks out and starts selling the drinks to the customers.
A little later, everybody is back in the back room again.
Girl1 (coming in): “I’m not going.”
San Cai: “Going where?”
Girl1: “He wants us to dress up and advertise on the streets tomorrow.”
San Cai (thinking about what Mei Zuo said about possibly meeting Dao Ming Si on the streets, blurts out): “I’ll do it.”
Girl1 (surprised): “Didn’t you say that the outfit is ugly?”
San Cai: “The more ugly the better. That way people will notice.”
Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha is in their apartment fixing the furniture again. Grandma comes up and looks around, surprised to see so many things around. Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si sees her and calls, “Grandma.” Grandma nods her head to acknowledge them.
Ye Sha (handing Grandma some money): “We are trying to get the rest. Please count this.”
Grandma takes the money and checks it out to see if it’s real or not and starts counting. Then she hands some money back to Ye Sha.
Grandma: “You have to save some for yourselves.”
Ye Sha (taking it back): “Thank you Grandma.”
Grandma looks around again then walks out.
Dao Ming Si (whispering): “How much?”
Ye Sha: “$1,000. We have money!”
Dao Ming Si (excited): “Yeah! I’m going to buy noodles to eat.”
Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha go shopping in the supermarket. Buys toothbrush, chips, and fruit. The coconuts were on sale and they bought a lot of them. Then they went back to the apartment to eat and drink coconut juice. After drinking the coconut juice, they used the coconut husk as a pumpkin and carved faces from it and put candles in the middle. They were having so much fun that they started laughing crazily and woke up Grandma. Grandma got out of her bed and yelled at them.
Grandma: “The two of you. What time is it now? I said after 10 pm don’t make any noise. You don’t want to rent anymore?” (she turns to walk away)
Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha sneaks up to her and leaves her a coconut that they made, which they made to look like Grandma, then runs away. Grandma turns back, looks at the coconut, sticks her tongue out at it and walks away.
Meanwhile, San Cai just got home from work. Her cell phone beeps, letting her know that she has voicemail. She picks it up to listen to her voicemail, the first message is from her mom:
Mom: “San Cai, where are you? Why are you not answering your phone? Dad bought home some meat that’s especially for you. (mom talking to dad in the background) Hey, don’t steal it to eat. You’re eating vegetarian now, did you forget?”
The next message is from Xi Men:
Xi Men: “We’re at VS. You coming over? Mei Zuo & Lei is here too. Doesn’t matter. Come over now. I have something very funny to tell you.”
The next message is from San Cai’s mom again:
Mom: “I’ve hidden the meat in your room inside the drawer. Remember to eat it when you come home.”
Next message is from Mei Zuo:
Mei Zuo: “San Cai, are you at the pastry shop again…”
San Cai hangs up in the middle of Mei Zuo’s message and reads an SMS message from Lei.
Lei: “Bull, are you doing a handstand? Or are you hiding?”
San Cai doesn’t answer any of them and goes to bed.
Next morning, Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha both wake up with a stomachache. Dao Ming Si runs quickly to the bathroom. Ye Sha slowly wakes up and her stomach hurts too. She runs to the bathroom and knocks on the door.
Ye Sha (holding onto her tummy): “Ah Sing.”
Dao Ming Si (calling out through the door): “What?”
Ye Sha: “My stomach hurts. Hurry up.”
Dao Ming Si: “I’m in the bathroom now.”
Ye Sha: “Hurry UP.”
Dao Ming Si: “Ok, Ok.”
Dao Ming Si comes out and Ye Sha rushes in.
Dao Ming Si (walking away from the bathroom): “Weird. Why does my stomach hurt?”
He suddenly stops, grabs his stomach, and turns to run back to the bathroom.
Dao Ming Si (knocking on door): “Ye Sha. Hurry up, I tell you. I’m hurting again.”
At this time, Grandma walks up to Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha walks out of the bathroom.
Grandma: “So early in the morning. What’s all the noise about? Huh? Why so loud? (She turns to leave) Lower it a little ok?”
Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si starts fighting for the bathroom again once Grandma leaves. After several more trips to the bathroom, both drop down on the ground near the table in exhaustion. Grandma comes up and gives them both some medicine.
Grandma: “Helps the stomach. One minute cold, then hot and drink so much coconut juice, I’d be surprised if you didn’t have a stomachache. (turns to leave, then turns back) Also, clean up the bathroom for me. So stinky.”
Ye Sha (staring at the coconuts that are lying on the table): “So it was you.”
Dao Ming Si (hits one of the coconut): “It’s all your fault. Made me got yelled at by Grandma, you stinky rotten egg.”
Ye Sha: “What did you call it?”
Dao Ming Si: “Rotten egg. He made our stomach hurt, if we don’t call it rotten egg, then what do we call it?”
Ye Sha (smiling): “Right.”
Dao Ming Si (hitting the coconut again): “Still smiling, rotten egg. Go think about what you did. (the coconut starts rolling away) Trying to get away? Stand still.”
Suddenly, their stomach starts hurting again and both grabbed the medicine that Grandma left behind.
