Original subtitles

My name is Autumn Moon.

I quit school after junior high.

I was no good in my studies.

But the education system was no better.

Not only did it exclude me from further study...

it produced a juvenile like me.

I had nothing to do but hang around public playgrounds.

Playing basketball, getting into fights...

being recruited or recruiting triad members.

- Stop! - No way!

Can I have a shot?

This half-witted jerk is Sylvester.

I never found out his last name.

But he was no Stallone, that's for sure.

I "recruited" him from the street.

He was being bullied by a group of students and I came to his help.

Well, at least he was smart enough to know...

that I could provide protection for him.

That's how he became my "junior".

One brags about being a Big Brother,

but not about having a retard like Sylvester as a junior.

If any of you ever bully him again...

I'll make sure you pay for it.

Maybe you think I'm worthless

because I'm unemployed and hang around all day,

but that's not exactly true.

My job is to help Big Brother Wing collect debts.

I'm a lone-wolf type of person, doing whatever I want.

To me, freedom comes first.

I'm not like the rest of them, because I have brains.

I don't take orders.

I won't kill when they tell me to,

or risk my life just because it's an order.

That's just plain stupid!

You could make it if you are smart enough.

That's my style.

Look, we're only here to collect our money.

Stop bullshitting me! Where are you from?

We're from the Bank of Canton.

I'll bet! Your bank cancelled my credit card last time because I was...

late in settling my account by just a couple of days.

They were just doing their job.

I lost $2,000 because of you! Shut your fucking mouth! Go!

We haven't done anything wrong!

Do you want us to handcuff you? Go!

Can we really do this?

Serves them right! C'mon, go back to your room.

Serves them right!

- Wait a second! - Who are you?

Mr. Wing sent me to collect his money.

What money?

Take a look at this!

Finished? Do you think it's fake?

I'm just making sure it's not.

What's wrong with you, Sylvester?

I know what's on your mind, sex maniac!

What do you mean?

Take him to the hospital. He's having a stroke!

Pay your debt first! Give me the money!

He's dying and you're still talking about money?

It's only his nose! No big deal!

That stroke is going to kill him.

I'll call an ambulance for you.

Ping, give me the phone.

What's wrong with your nose?

Is that the police or the hospital? Nevermind, it's all the same...

I've got some loan shark here bleeding. Please, come quickly.

It's all right! He's managed to stop the bleeding. Thanks.

Mom was right when she said that everything is predestined.

Ever since Sylvester picked up those two letters,

bad things have been happening, one after the other.

Weird things that no one can explain! They just happen.

And disappear.

Sylvester!

Moon! Your pager.

I've transferred $3,000 into your account.

There was only $2,000.

"Sylvester's being bullied. Come. Hurry!"

Think $3,000 is enough?

$3,000 a month is not enough for grocery.

Look! I don't eat here any more!

You think groceries are cheap these days.

Don't you have a job yourself?

How much can I make?

What about Moon?

What can he do? I can't count on him.

Go to hell and don't ever come back!

What are you doing?

Why are you begging him for money?

I'll have money next week.

Thank you very much, but I don't want your dirty money!

What do you mean "dirty money"?

You think his money is clean?

Don't worry, Mom, I'm different now.

You can ask Ms. Lee.

I thought you said you'd go back to school. Did you?

You're the same as your father.

Are you okay, dickhead?

You must rest.

You can leave if nothing happens in 10 mins.

When will her next check-up be?

I'll call to inform you. Make sure she has plenty of rest.

Hi, there! Did your daughter have a stroke?

A stroke my ass!

Let me remind you of the debt you owe me.

Up yours!

Don't try to play games with me! Pay!

It's none of your business! Sit down.

Don't you dare lay a finger on her!

Look at your retarded friend! He's the one who had a stroke.

Alright, Sylvester! Stare at her and make her pay.

Pay!

Blockhead!

Stop laughing at him!

Be quiet! This is a hospital.

What's the matter here?

Nurse, get him out of here.

Who gives you the right to do that?

Are you related to that man?

He's my buddy.

Good. Follow me, please.

Is he okay?

Don't play games with me!

We contacted his family,

but they deny knowing him.

We found these in his pocket.

Stop looking at that punk.

What do you mean? Shut your big mouth!

You're the big mouth!

What's this?

It's blood. But it isn't your friend's.

Mom, let's go look for him.

Look for who?

Your husband.

I saw him with a woman yesterday.

He's got a mistress. Did you know that?

Let him!

What do you mean?

He's got a mistress! And a child, too!

And you let him do that?

Aren't you going to come? Fine, I'll go myself.

I'll chop him to pieces. No sweat!

Don't do anything stupid, Moon!

Moon, don't!

Let go of me!

Stop it! What are you doing?

Then come with me!

Listen to me, will you?

Let go of me!

Listen to me! I approved of it!

- Stop! - What?

You approved of it?

You mean you knew about it?

You approved it for several thousand bucks?

Moon, get in!

Where are you heading?

No idea.

Then, I'll just drop you along the way.

I've got to go to work.

What? Did I hear you say "work"?

Of course!

What do you mean by "work", Keung?

You wouldn't understand.

I'm doing it for love!

How would I know if you don't tell me!

Ever since I met her, I'm a different person.

I do whatever she asks me to.

She wanted me to find a job.

So I found one!

I asked her to marry me and she said yes!

Unbelievable, isn't it?

You just like her big tits!

Jealous?

Sure, I'm jealous!

In the past, I would've thought I'm great,

but not anymore!

I've got something for you.

What's that?

An organ donor form.

What? Have you gone out of your mind?

Just read it! Ms. Lee gave it to me the other day.

She looked into my eyes and said...

"Keung, for guys like you

who are in the business of killing...

You may not live long.

But by filling out this form...

you can do some good for society.

You can save someone's life after you're dead.

By doing this, you'll make your life worth living."

The Ms. Lee that Keung is talking about is a social worker.

God knows what she sees in Keung that makes her love him.

It's fucking unbelievable!

That's her, doing her endless research!

She asked me to put her in touch with some juvenile delinquents.

But I am a juvenile delinquent!

Obviously she doesn't realize that.

To get rid of her, I introduced her to Sylvester.

He's probably the only dumbed-witted triad member in Hong Kong.

He's known for his ability to kill!

He's getting a real reputation.

Moon! Moon!

Fuck you!

Hello, Mrs. Leung?

Can I borrow some soy sauce?

Sure. Come in!

I'll get it for you.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Moon, who's she?

Don't get the wrong idea. She's a social worker.

A charming lady!

No charge for this.

Thanks! More, please.

Take the whole bottle.

That's too much.

Does he visit you often?

Not really.

He used to live in the shop where he worked.

But he lost his job.

So he hangs around me.

Better than getting kicked on the street.

That's no solution.

That what should I do? You tell me.

His family really abandoned him?

I tried calling them

but they denied knowing him.

Moon!

What is it?

I thought she was your mom.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

Big Brother's looking for us.

I've got Ms. Lee here. Go ahead and I'll join you later.

See you around, Ms. Lee.

Where are you going?

To school!

So, this is the place.

Where's your old lady, cutie?

She's out.

Really?

Go in and see for yourself.

Sure thing.

Look at you!

You should be in school!

Look at your nails!

Think you're Madonna?

Where's your mom?

Off playing mahjong, I guess.

So, she's got money to pay mahjong,

but no money to pay what she owes us?

How much do we owe your boss? A few thousand dollars are no big deal.

The interest alone will cost you a lifetime to repay.

A few thousands soon turn into tens of thousands,

which then become hundreds of thousands.

Here's $500. My father owes you $5,000.

Let's call it even

if I go to bed with you.

$500?

You're telling me it'll cost $4,500 just to screw you?

Who do you think you are? Julia Roberts?

Let me make this clear, I've never paid to get laid.

C'mon, there's no one in the house except us.

Relax! I won't hurt you.

So, tell me...

What color are your panties?

Guess.

Black and white.

Show me.

What's that? They're not panties!

What the heck! Let's get on with it.

Why are you laughing?

Is something funny going on here?

It's your mom, isn't it?

She wants to throw me in jail?

You only listen to your mom, don't you?

You'll regret it. It's my first time.

Your first time? Are you pulling my leg?

Every girl I've fucked has told me it's her first time.

You think this is the Middle Ages?

It's my first time, too...I mean today.

First time my ass!

No wonder there are no more virgins in the world!

What do you mean?

I've more class than the rest of them.

You're very high and mighty sounding!

You've got a nice body, though.

I can see you've got a hard-on.

You've already seen the sample.

If you want to do it,

be quick before my mom returns.

What? You mean do it here?

You wanna do it in the hallway?

Stop pulling my leg!

I'm the one calling the shots here.

You'd better learn that!

I've never counted how many wet dreams I usually have.

But there was an extra one tonight.

Which made it a bad night for me.

I had this strange feeling I was being preyed upon.

I blame this weird feeling

on those two letters Sylvester took.

They must have some secrets.

Something even stranger happened the next morning...

Ping showed up at my door!

It's you!

How did you find out I live here?

Go back to sleep, Sylvester.

What do you want?

Fine. Sayonara.

Wait. I wanted to tell you...

how much I missed you.

Can we just be friends with each other?

What are you up to? Kissing my ass?

Your mom sent you here, didn't she?

She has no idea I'm here.

I came of my own accord.

Really?

What's on your mind?

Will you go out with me?

What?!

Sylvester picked them up the next morning...

Are you serious? Let me have a look!

- Let me have a look! - Sylvester, give it to her!

This one's for her family.

The other one must be for her boyfriend.

But this is a girl school.

Do you think she was a lesbian?

What's that?

...four, five, six, seven...

Is there a Wong Wing-nam here?

I'm Wong Wing-nam.

This letter is from Susan Hui.

Are you really Wong Wing-nam?

Can't you even show some interest?

I wonder what's in the letter.

You're very nosy.

It must be a love triangle.

Why do you say that?

That girl there must be the other one. Trust me.

I don't think so.

What do you say, Sylvester?

I dunno.

This must be it.

Let me get on your shoulders.

- My shoulders? - Sure.

Sylvester, squat down! Didn't you hear me?

Me?

Sure. Who else?

Quickly.

Let me up first.

I see something.

What is it?

It must be her.

Let me have a look.

Wait a sec.

Come on, it's my turn!

You're a pain.

I see it.

What can you see?

Her photo.

She's quite pretty, isn't she?

What are you doing?

What do you think you're doing?

Hey, what do you think you're doing?!

Come on.

Are you alright, Ping?

What's wrong with you?

Leave me alone!

I'm very ill.

I've got a fatal disease.

Fatal!

It was like taking my last breath just then.

Any idea what this is?

I don't want to die in a hospital.

It was the first time I saw Ping cry.

When she held up that whatever it was.

I was dumbfounded.

I am a man of the world.

But at that moment, I must confess I was speechless.

It was hard for me to learn that I could be such a charitable person.

Oh boy, the same thing happened again.

That night, I dreamt of countless planes flying over me.

I didn't count the number of planes I shot down with my cum.

But one thing I'm sure of...

Every time it came, I was thinking of Ping.

I've fallen madly in love with a very sick girl.

Here for your money again?

C'mon! Where's your mom?

Quit smoking! You're dying.

Why? I'm dying anyway.

Are you sure you have cancer or whatever you have?

You should go for a check-up.

I don't trust doctors.

It's no joke! But not at final stage yet.

Only an organ transplant can save my life.

An organ transplant? What kind of disease do you have?

Kidney.

How long do you have to wait for a transplant?

It depends if someone else dies before I do...

and whether they'll donate a kidney to me.

What happens if no one dies?

Simple. I'll die.

Okay, I'll donate my kidney to you.

No, thanks!

But your kidneys are probably as rotten as you are.

You sure have a big mouth.

My mom was thinking of giving me one of hers, but they don't match.

Let's change the subject.

Let's do it.

Are you out of your mind? I'm a sick person.

Well, I've never done it with a sick person.

Go to hell...

So, you're pretty tough, are you?

Stop! Stop!

Hold on. First...Do you love me?

Of course!

If you love me...

why don't you wait till I'm dead to kiss me?

That'd truly be romantic.

C'mon, don't you feel good now?

No!

You said you wanted to do it.

Do what?

You said you regretted not doing it the other day.

Stop talking about death all the time.

What'd you do...

if you weren't hanging out with girls or fighting?

I'd be thinking of girls...

I mean you!

I'm serious. What happened to your ex?

We blew it. Why?

Ever wonder how she is?

God only knows!

Why are you called Autumn Moon?

It's a long story.

My dad fucked my mom.

I was born during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So they called me Autumn Moon to celebrate.

How unimaginative!

Lazy, too!

Well, not exactly. I think it's cute.

It makes me think of moon cakes.

I should call you Moon Cake?

Thanks! How about Cheese Cake!

If I had the money I'd pay, Fat Chan.

But I'm penniless! Life is difficult these days.

Where did you get the money for your food?

I have to eat, don't I?

Your daughter?

You leave her alone!

You can take anything of value in the house.

These are all hand-made. They're worth some money.

Take them!

You have a very beautiful daughter.

You don't have to pay me. We'll take her.

That'll cancel the interest.

How about working for me as a prostitute, my little darling?

Leave her alone, Fat Chan!

Fine. Tell your husband to talk to me.

I have no idea where he is.

Do me a favour and chop him to pieces if you see him.

He's no longer my husband.

You were calling each other sweetheart when you borrowed money from me.

Now you're cursing him!

He borrowed the money, go after him.

You're acting like the triads.

Triads? Do we look like triads?

Don't get bitchy!

Take everything. The pan over there, too.

We'll see how she can cook.

This too.

Give me your gold tooth.

You're penniless but you have a gold tooth!

How elegant!

Don't! Please!

Stop it!

What's the problem here!

You're after her money, aren't you?

This looks like a robbery to me.

Who the hell are you?

You're saying you don't know me?

Fuck you.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You're just a kid.

And you're just a pig!

Where do you hang out?

Fat head! Look at you!

You're full of cholesterol.

I'll tell you who I am. My name's Autumn Moon.

Does that ring a bell?

No!

No?

Yes, it does!

Fat Chan, I see you can't hold up for too long.

Go home and heal yourself.

Well done! Encore!

Thank you! Thank you!

Dickhead!

Fat head, I'll spare your life this time...

I've no idea how much Ping's father owed these people.

I've seen all debt collectors.

And God knows how many who don't show up.

The adult world is far too complicated for me.

Take Brother Wing, for example. He's a loan shark,

but he'd never admit it.

The street's full of people like Fat Chan.

They're like neighbours.

Look at those skinny punks following him around!

They didn't even have any tattoos!

They looked like students going on a picnic with their teacher.

And they thought they could scare people?

But it's because they're so common and ordinary...

that you have to be twice as careful.

Why are you here?

I understand that she's seriously ill.

Her sickness is none of your business.

Why don't you just get lost?

Mrs. Lam...

Get out of here!

I forbid you to see him again.

Go to your room.

What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?

Mom, can you lend me $5,000?

That's a lot of money.

I'll pay you back in two days. I promise.

What's it for?

Don't ask questions.

Don't you go to those loan sharks!

Or you'll be finished.

Forget it.

Okay. I'll try to talk to my boss.

I said forget it.

Moon!

You mean those three kids? They're clean.

Hi, Moon.

Trust me, they're not in any triad.

Are you sure?

As I always say, Chinese people are the slyest.

When will you bring Sylvester to me?

Sometime.

What did he do at those sheltered workshops?

The usual stuff. Packaging and processing I guess.

Good. That's exactly what I want.

I'll make sure there's a car waiting for you.

Thanks a lot. See you.

Fuck him!

- Big Brother. - Moon.

Did you collect the money?

Is there a problem?

I haven't seen you around for a while!

Can I borrow $20,000, Brother Wing?

$20,000?

What's it for, chicks or business?

You didn't borrow from those loan sharks, did you?

If you did, I can always send the gang to break their necks.

You have my word.

It's nothing like that.

Moon...

You know I always have faith in you.

Why don't you join us?

I see there's something on your mind.

I think I'm in love with the girl in Room 7818 of Block 5.

Are you kidding? They're slyer than you and me put together.

You're borrowing money to pay her debts?

Are you...

I'm serious.

Serious? You're too young to be serious.

Having fun is all that matters.

I'm sure you'll fall for someone you like one day.

Wait for that day before talking about love.

It's a waste of time getting serious with those young chicks.

I really am serious.

Are you out of your mind or what?

Having sex doesn't mean having to get married!

If chicks are what you want,

I'll send you a dozen of them right now.

Hello.

I want to page account 8288.

Your name please?

Cheung.

Mr. Cheung, the account holder has requested the full names of his friends.

Cheung Siu-wing.

Do you know the account holder's full name?

What's all this shit?

I called yesterday and there was none of this.

I'm sorry. This instruction was placed by the account holder this morning.

What?

I'm sure you'll get used to it, sir.

Fuck you! Listen...

Tell him to cancel these stupid instructions. Otherwise, I'll kill him.

Sir, our policy forbids us from relaying any threatening messages.

Just pass on my message, bitch!

Moon, let's communicate with each other...

Shit! I'm traveling to China so often, I'm starting to sound like a mainlander.

Remember the deal I offered you last time?

If you had accepted, you'd be a rich man now.

Who'd have thought a teenager could've done something like this?

"Young man assaulted and killed."

Youth is invincible. You need to learn to give back to society.

I've never even held a gun in my hands.

That's not the point.

You should make money while you're still young.

Don't waste any more time.

This guy's from Shenzhen. I guarantee you, it's a one-shot job.

I'm not going to Shenzhen. I hate everything about China.

Who said you have to go to Shenzhen?

I have my reasons for disliking the Chinese, too.

They swallowed up my shares.

Just look at my dad's factory.

You're right to hate them.

It provides an emotional drive for you.

Gives you a sense of self-assurance.

I've promised Ms. Lee not to do anything bad.

You mean that stupid social worker?

What did you promise her?

And what about collecting money for me?

Look at this, Moon.

Can you tell if it's real or fake?

No.

That's my point!

There's no true or false, right or wrong.

The world is a total mess.

Wanna try it?

Pull the trigger.

I like your guts.

Take this. I'll give you a real one next time.

I know a guy from the arcade. He's real good at shooting.

Every time he plays, he beats the machine.

No more excuses, Moon.

You know, when I was young, I was a poor kid like you.

I came from the same background as you.

But I've worked my ass off and climbed the ladder.

Think about it.

Did you page me, Big Brother?

Fuck you! Are you playing games or what?

What's all this crap about leaving full names?

The cops are after me lately.

Let's devise a secret code...

How about "Hallelujah 1997"?

This is too much hassle!

We'll get used to it.

Go to hell!

You're useless! I've lost all hope in you.

Please, don't get upset.

You're hopeless!

Do you know what he's done?

He's stolen all my money.

He's taken the last $2,000 from my drawer.

Why didn't you take the TV?

Easy. Calm down please, Mrs. To.

Can you see what he's become? He's a thief!

Maybe he just borrowed it.

You don't call this borrowing.

He took it without my consent. That's stealing!

I'll beat you to death!

You're useless!

Please, don't.

And cocky too.

You're as useless as your father.

Every time I tell him to go to school,

he uses Jacky Chan as an example to contradict me.

I don't care if he got a master's degree without ever going to university.

Do you realize what he does?

He's an actor, stupid!

First, your uncle got you a kitchen job and you turned it down.

Then, Mrs. Leung recommended you for another job at a restaurant,

and you complained that it was boring.

If you're so smart,

why don't you become a boss yourself?

Please, don't.

I'll beat you to death!

Mrs. To, I'd say he's improved a lot.

Improved?

Ms. Lee, you are too kind.

Look at me! You won't be rewarded for your kindness.

I'm the perfect example.

This is reality.

Poverty begets evil. That's the rule of the game.

There's a job that suits you, interested?

Ever since the fight with my mom,

I haven't called Ping.

I'm not like what my mom said,

a good-for-nothing triad member.

At least I didn't accept that job from Brother Wing.

To prove my mom was wrong about me,

I decided to look for a job.

Can he start straight away?

Sure, we're short of hands and business is good lately.

No problem.

Let's talk about money later.

First, there are some rules you must follow.

OK.

We sell all kinds of knives here.

The sort used in most households.

Thin blades, thick blades...

These are for breaking all kinds of bones.

Most housewives are familiar with them.

These knives are fantastic for cutting pork.

It's Sylvester! They won't hurt him.

Uncle Leung, what's this one for?

Sorry, sorry.

We got you!

Don't you run away!

Let's make him jerk off. Jerk off!

What if triad members come to buy knives from you?

We don't sell knives to crime syndicates.

How about small punks?

We sell to them,

only before they join the triads.

What if the triads join the small punks?

Are you selling or not?

Triads don't mix with small little punks.

They can only cheat their moms to go to Ocean Park.

Harder!

Your job will be to sweep the floor and clean the windows.

Then the business will get better.

- Sure, Keung has been a great help. - Moon!

- They bought many knives from us in the past. - Moon! Moon!

Dickhead! Where are you from?

He's bigger than you and you bully him!

Who's your Big Brother?

We don't have one.

Then let me teach you a lesson.

You think you're tough?

Didn't I tell you to stay away from them?

Leave me alone.

Beat him up!

Fight back. Go ahead and beat them up!

Don't be afraid.

Beat him!

You know?

Remember the first time we saw him,

he was being bullied in the same way.

We saved his ass. He needs us.

Can't you have more sympathy?

Get up, dickhead!

Listen to me! Don't ever let me see you again!

Otherwise, I'll beat you to death! Run for your life!

Run!

Run.

Moon, I'd almost forgotten.

Ms. Lee asked me to give you this money.

It's for me?

Yes.

I don't want it.

Don't be so stubborn.

She did it to help you. Treat it as a loan.

Sylvester, let's go.

What do you want?

Please don't tell her what happened today.

What do you mean?

I promised her I'd never fight again.

You're so scared of her, aren't you?

You can't understand. Just do what I say or I'll knock your head off.

Fuck you!

What about the money?

Save it for knives.

Cover up your cut...

so it doesn't get infected.

No. I don't want that.

It's for your own good.

Really?

It's only for now.

Are you ready?

Does that feel good?

- It's cold! - C'mon!

Use some soap.

Wash your ass.

See? It's like a sewer.

That's good!

Having a good time?

Look at you!

How about a new hairdo?

You're still bleeding.

Hold this!

The bleeding won't stop!

Dry your hair.

Did you ever try this kind of bandage, Sylvester?

These are great, for adults. Try it.

Don't move! You're bleeding.

See! It stopped the bleeding at once!

How do you feel?

It's ultra-thin.

It's huge.

You'll need them again in the future.

Have a good rest.

We'll get even with those kids, okay?

Okay.

"Moon, by the time you read this, I'll be gone.

Moon, I am sorry for you,

I'm not a good mother.

I want to...

find somewhere to think things over."

Sylvester, my mom has left.

You stay here and look after the place.

Who are you looking for?

Where's your husband?

He went to the market. Who are you?

My name's To.

He'll be back soon. Come back in 5 minutes.

Help!

Stay out of this!

Scum! You raped my sister when she was 12.

You've ruined her life!

I'll chop your hands off!

I'll cut it!

Help! Don't!

Give me the other hand!

Please, don't!

Give me the other hand!

He was my old man, but not anymore.

Everyone has their own story to tell.

Sylvester, Ping, Susan...

the kid who cut up his old man in the public toilet...

Whenever things go wrong, most adults either hide or simply disappear,

so useless.

Sometimes, I really wanted to cut out their hearts to see what color they were.

They'd probably just have looked like shit.

That night, everything was very quiet.

Almost nothing happened.

But when I woke up...

I found tears all over my face.

I'm sure they weren't my tears.

Were they Susan's?

Quick!

Stop him...

Sylvester!

Sylvester!

What's up?

- It's Ping. - Ping?

This should be the place. Where is she?

Can you see her?

I'm here!

There she is!

We've been looking for you.

How did you know I was here?

We've got noses!

I knew you were here because his nose was bleeding.

Wow! You can smell where I am?

I wish he could! Look at his dumb face!

I bet he'll get a hard-on if he sees...

your legs in a mini skirt.

Sylvester must like me very much. Is that right?

Yes.

Give her the melon, you moron!

Who gives fruit as a present, so old school?

Old school? It's a sign of love.

It looks like you'll be here for a while, eat your melon.

I don't want it.

If you want more, I'll bring you a whole basket.

I might not live long enough to eat them.

Don't say that!

Your outfit looks real cool.

You're the one that's cool.

"Fat head! Look at you!

You're full of cholesterol!

Get lost!

I don't introduce myself to strangers?"

That's what I called cool.

It's not such a bad thing for you to be here.

At least I don't have to be yelled at by your mom.

She's alright.

I know. You're luckier than I am.

Your father left you.

But both my parents left me.

Fuck 'em! Let's change the subject.

Last time you said...

you regretted not doing it with me?

No.

What do you mean no?

Are you a lesbian?

Sylvester is here!

Look! He's got a hard-on.

Look at it!

C'mon, touch it!

Are you crazy?

Dickhead, there's reaction!

He's not as dumb as I thought.

Don't bully him.

Me bully him? Look at his ugly face!

Great scenery.

Don't run!

Stupid!

Wait!

This is spectacular!

What a place!

It's like paradise!

- Who suggested this place? - Me!

How did you know about this place?

You are the bomb!

I'll give you credit for this.

Moon, did you bring the letter?

The letter? I threw it away.

Threw it away?

Yes.

No. I have it.

When did you pick it up, shithead?

Smart kid! We must return this to her parents.

I don't wanna see it anymore.

Why?

Why? I'm afraid I'll fall for her.

If you like her that much...

did she appear in your dreams and tell you where she's buried?

You're not saying you want to look for her grave?

Of course!

Alright. As you wish.

Let's go!

We'd better hurry, it's getting dark.

Where are you, Susan Hui?

Susan Hui...Susan Hui!

If you like me, let me know where you are.

Susan Hui...

Did you find it?

Did you find it, Ping?

No.

Susan Hui...Susan...Susan...

Susan Hui...

Why did she die?

Can you hug me on the day I die?

What will you do if I disappear?

We'll think about that when the day comes. Okay?

What a spectacular sight!

Imagine, there are dead people all over this place.

I want to be buried here when I'm dead.

You'll get better.

Sylvester.

That's a funny way to cut a watermelon.

I've never seen anything like it before!

Is he making a watermelon pot?

You mean a winter melon pot!

Can you cut it like that?

It looks like a magic trick!

You only know how to knife people.

Cutting up a watermelon is a totally different matter.

Watch out for your hands!

Watch this!

Big Brother, you're cool!

I want a slice.

Have a bite.

I'll take this slice...Here you are.

- It's great! - I learnt that in China.

You'll be laughed at if you don't know the northern style.

Is it? Really, the northern style?

Sure. Watch and learn!

Hi, Moon!

Hi!

I'll show you guys again next time.

Cool, Big Brother.

Susan made me come again that night.

Susan, I don't care if you sympathize me,

or if you want to stop me from accepting the job,

I'm going to do it regardless.

You'd better give me your blessing.

I promise to burn more incense for you.

Susan, set me free!

Can you tell me Lam Yuk Ping's room number?

- Ping? - Yes.

She checked out yesterday.

Are you sure? Can you check again?

I'm sure.

Thank you.

Where is Lam Yuk Ping, please?

She checked out.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I thought she was having a kidney transplant.

Maybe the doctors have told her to wait at home.

Wait there!

Ping. Ping!

Where's Ping?

What happened to you? Who did that?

None of your business.

Was it Fat Chan?

You're all the same. Go away.

Ping has left. She won't be seeing you anymore.

This is my money to Ping.

I don't want your dirty money!

What do you mean "dirty money"?

Can't you see that we feel for each other?

What's that?

F. E. L. L. Feel. Feelings.

I bet you're too insensitive to understand that.

Do people like you have feelings?

All you know is gang-fighting.

Well, you're no better.

All you know is hiding from your debtors.

What's wrong with owing people money?

I stayed at home to make sure my daughter...

Is kept away from punks like you?

It's not easy being a mother.

I bet you don't have one.

Don't you bad-mouth my mother!

Why not?

Look at how you speak to your elders!

Use your brain!

Would I let my daughter hang around with someone like you?

Don't talk badly about my mother.

So what? Will you hang me?

I won't let you talk badly of my mother.

So righteous!

So, you think you're a hero?

Why don't you go kill all the bad guys?

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Go away! Right now, please.

I'll go settle this with Fat Chan for you.

I guarantee that Fat Chan will leave you in peace...

if you let me see Ping again.

Guarantee?

Isn't that enough?

I'll go for a medical check-up tomorrow...

and donate my kidney to Ping.

Sure, thanks a lot!

She won't use your kidney, we don't want to owe you.

You don't have to pay back.

I give you my word!

Very noble of you! I hope you're not bullshitting.

And I hope you'll honour your word.

I'll leave the money here.

If I fail to settle it with Fat Chan,

you can keep the money.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Sylvester, let's go.

Give the watermelon to her.

This is for you.

Shit!

It's Ping!

Are you sure? Can you really smell her?

Yes.

She's coming up.

You're really something!

Yeah!

Did you kick the elevator?

Sorry, sir, we were just playing around.

Go home!

So you can smell people, can you? Faggot!

Who do you want?

Who are you looking for?

Don't move! Sit down.

This is none of your business. Just sit.

You, too!

Everybody, sit!

There's no need to panic. We're looking for Fat Chan.

Sit down!

What's going on?

Sit down. Excuse me.

My name is Chan. But I'm not very fat, am I?

Who supplied the information?

Early in the morning, I followed Brother Wing's instructions...

and found a pistol in the toilet of police station.

Like Wing said, the world is coming to an end,

and with money, one can make anyone do anything.

Moon!

Moon, help!

Moon!

Moon, help!

Moon!

Lady, help me!

My son?!

Although I'm good at fighting,

I've never killed anyone in my life.

But today...

I got so scared when I arrived.

I went all blank.

I kept telling myself not to panic.

For Ping's sake,

I must accomplish the job.

That's Central District down there.

And over there?

That's Tsimshatsui.

Let's open a store in Central next time.

What do you think?

May I ask who's looking for Mr. Wing?

Moon.

Can you tell me the full name of the account?

Cheung Siu-Wing.

Mr. Cheung has requested that you leave your full name.

Autumn Moon.

The account holder is in China right now,

and will reply you later.

Can I leave a message?

Please, go ahead.

Please, tell him that...

Autumn Moon's business has failed...

and doesn't know what to do.

Tell him I didn't want it to be this way.

I will relay your message to the account holder.

Leave me alone, will you?

I didn't do you any wrong.

Please.

Stop making me come.

I'll soon dry up.

I didn't steal those letters from you.

It was Sylvester! The dumb guy!

He's sleeping next door. Go for him!

Please!

I'll return the letter to you.

I sympathize with you.

It's all your fault!

Get up! You can't sleep in my mom's bed.

Go to my father's room.

No!

This way, dumb-ass!

Who sent you?

Fat Chan. How about that?!

I found this at Moon's place.

Yes.

It's a voluntary organ donation certificate.

I'd better explain the regulations...

regarding organ donation.

Firstly,

any adult can donate all or part of their body...

for the purposes of education, research or organ transplant.

Secondly, if that person does not expressly indicate their wishes...

regarding a specific donation while still living,.

The next of kin can make a decision on their behalf after death, unless...

Keep it short. Moon and my daughter were intimate friends.

When he found out about my daughter's illness...

he promised to donate his kidney to her.

He loved my daughter very much.

Please, let me finish.

Thirdly, all donations must receive approval from a committee.

Since you're not directly related to the patient,

I'm not in a position to process your request for this donation.

But why?

What you're saying is contrary to the publicity campaign for organ donations.

We're simply trying to avoid any monetary transaction...

that may be involved in a donation.

You said it all! You're the one who told my daughter to go home and wait.

If I had known earlier,

I would have taken her to China and bought a kidney.

How can you adults be so ignorant?

Have you thought about the kidney you'd buy...

Could have been cut from another patient?

Doctor, I understand you position.

But if Moon doesn't survive,

and since this certificate was signed by him,

Can you treat his donation as a redemption?

You mustn't confuse the matter. I am not a judge.

I don't know what sins he might have committed.

And I've no interest in finding out.

Redemption is one matter,

and organ donation is another.

Both involve codes of ethics and morality,

and we must not confuse one with the other.

In any case, he's still in emergency surgery.

He may yet survive...

Hello. Yes...I see.

After a seven hour operation,

Patient has left critical stage.

Therefore, there's no need to continue this discussion.

Thank you, Doctor.

What about my daughter? What about her?

Moon.

Have you recovered?

I'm fine. Where's Sylvester?

Don't you know what happened to him?

- What? - Come.

What happened?

What happened?

Look, Sylvester's dead.

What? Sylvester's dead?

"Retarded drug peddler gunned to death."

Ping

It's unlocked.

What happened to Ping?

She passed away last month.

Her condition deteriorated...

after you got injured.

I knew she wouldn't make it.

One day last month, she disappeared.

The next day, the hospital called...

and said she had died...

lying next to you.

She left this for you.

How come I knew nothing about this?

If you love her, visit her at the cemetery.

Buy her some roses,

they were her favorite.

Ping was only sixteen.

Now that she's dead, she'll remain forever young.

But you still have a long way to go.

Ping adored you.

She regarded you as a hero.

What would it have come to anyway?

Even if you had given her your kidney,

I would still say...

I'm totally against it.

Don't come again.

Give me back Ping!

Moon!

Where are you? Have you recovered?

Come right away.

Keung and I are getting married today.

I'm thinking of doing something to shock the world.

What?

Go back to school?

I...I'm truly worthless.

I've failed Sylvester and Ping.

Don't be stupid! It's not your fault.

Moon.

Honey, is that Moon?

Yes.

Quiet! I'm on the phone.

- Moon... - Keung.

It's the best day of my life! I feel great!

Come and join the fun.

I want to ask you something.

What? Come here now!

When can one kill and not be punished for it?

Not punished?

I guess during wartime.

Moon!

Kids, keep an eye on this punk for me!

Let's rob him!

Someone's coming! Run!

Shit! This is worth millions!

What should we do, Big Brother?

Damn you!

From tomorrow on each one of you will bring me $360.

I'll be your Big Brother.

Whenever you're in trouble, just mention my name.

Moon, you're out! We could've picked you up.

- Where's Brother Wing? - Brother Wing is inside.

These three kids work for us now.

Great!

Let bygones be bygones.

From now on, we're in the same boat.

I know what you're thinking.

This one's real!

How can you kill a retard?

You are totally hopeless.

I remember you once said the world is now ruled by the young.

I'll show you.

Please, don't!

I never thought it'd come to this.

Now I can understand why Susan committed suicide.

It's the only way out...

of a dead-end situation.

You simply jump. There's nothing scary about it.

Death doesn't necessarily require a lot of courage.

Well, it may sound easy.

But it's a different matter when it comes to doing it.

Your father has gone to Shanghai for two months.

He has only called twice so far.

Say something.

Say something.

Your father said you're very talkative.

Say something.

You mustn't feel uneasy with me.

Come here often. I'll make you soup.

Let's get to know each other.

Where's Daddy?

I have to go.

So soon?!

I've got things to do.

I'll tell your father that you came.

Thank you.

Moon, did you receive my message?

Will you come for dinner tonight?

Did you watch the news?

Brother Wing was murdered.

I did it.

You did it?

Yes, the cops are looking for me.

Are you kidding? It couldn't have been you!

I might do it again!

Those scumbags! They deserve it!

Moon...

I couldn't possibly go home in the next few days.

I was sure Susan's spirit would be waiting for me.

Susan, you'll have to experience the feeling of loneliness.

If you can guarantee my safety...

and refrain from harassing me...

I promise I'll be back.

Because this is my home.

Ever since my mom left...

I've changed some of my habits.

Whenever I walk along a street or sitting in a mini-bus,

I observe the people around me...

hoping to find my mom.

How I wish she would suddenly show up in front of me!

I know I've failed my family,

Ms. Lee and those who cared about me.

But the world is moving far too fast.

So fast, that when you are trying to change,

it's another brand new world!

How dare you send someone to kill me!

You scumbag! So, you wanna kill me?

You even put your hands on little girls?!

No! She seduced me!

- Did you? - No!

Go to hell!

Please! Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

How dare you send someone to kill me!

Spare me!

So, you wanna kill me?

My father keeps a mistress.

For him, it's like a rebirth of his life.

My mom left me.

Also a rebirth of her life.

The government promo says, "There are no retakes in life".

It's all bullshit. That's why I hate adults.

They only tell you lies. It's all hypocrisy.

I felt scared and helpless...

on the day my mom left me.

But now, I know exactly what to do.

It's a letter.

Let me see.

It's Susan's handwriting.

Yes.

How come it's taken so long to reach us?

Two days later, my body was found.

No cops. No journalists.

No sensational scenes.

Standing in front of me, were just some innocent kids.

I felt calm and relaxed.

Is he dead?

He's still alive.

Look, no reaction.

"Dear Mom, I have to go.

Please forgive me. Take care of yourself.

There are some books on my desk. Please return them to the library for me.

The notes should be returned to my classmates.

Pa, please hang on...

and take good care of Mom.

I have been feeling very bad lately.

But I'll be responsible for my own deeds.

I've fallen in love with someone at school.

That's unfortunate indeed.

Being in love is so painful.

I've failed you. I have to go now.

Susan."

"Dear Susan, although we don't know each other...

I've seen your picture.

Lately, I've been dreaming of this strange spirit,

wandering about, seemingly lost.

I don't know what it is.

Maybe it's you calling me from the dark.

Did you ever realize you're very selfish...

leaving your parents by themselves?

Now you've come to get me.

Frankly, I'm more scared of death than you.

I never wanted to die.

Because there's Moon.

Ping."

"Dear Girls,

I've become obsessed by both of you ever since I knew you.

The world is, indeed, unfair.

Those who should have died are still alive and well.

Those who deserved a good life are all dead.

You know, you're luckier than I am.

At least you have a family that cares about you.

I've learned the lesson now.

My existence in this world would only be a nuisance to others.

I might as well be dead.

People like me might as well be dead.

Peace will then be returned to the world.

Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Ping, your mom was right.

If we die young,

we remain forever young.

Love forever, Autumn Moon Cake."

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

- Who's calling? - Keung.

The account hasn't returned your call yet.

I'll page him again.

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

Who's calling?

Indian.

Any message, please?

Tell him to show his face. We'll give him protection.

The account hasn't returned your call yet. I'll page him again.

Thanks.

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

Account 818 has a message display beeper.

Can I request the account to return call to the station?

Yes. What's your name?

Lee.

Any message Ms. Lee?

No matter what happened.

Tell him to return call immediately.

We will inform him.

Thanks.

The living always like to pass judgment on the dead.

They despise the latter for their cowardice.

I wonder how many people would understand

how Ping, Sylvester, Susan and me actually think?

No one.

But there's one thing I'm sure of.

We are all very happy now.

We aren't afraid, even if we have to face an uncertain world.

Because we've been made immune.

Susan Hui! Susan Hui!

"This world is yours and it is ours.

But at the end of the day, it is yours.

You young people, so full of energy and in your prime,

you are just like the morning sun.

We have placed all our hopes on you."

You're listening to the People's Radio of Hong Kong.

What we quoted was a speech given by Chairman Mao to the leaders of the Young.

Let's repeat and study the message in Putonghua.
