52Hz, I Love You (2017)

[bunniefuu]

Is it my lucky day?

Wish me luck Yes!

XIN FLOWER SHOP

Basking in the sun I can't help dancing around The atmosphere today Is different from every yesterday Red, white and yellow Are among the colors of blissful roses But with so many choices What will be my lucky color of love?

Red roses are popular.

-Old-fashioned. -I prefer pink ones.

The yellow ones are eye-catching.

-The blue ones are rare. -Hey!

What about love?

When do lovers celebrate their love?

It's today!

When do roses blossom out?

It's today!

If as love's beginning We're to pick a day Why don't we choose today? It's Valentine's Day It's Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is a good day Here you are.

Love is before everything else Countless people in the world Want to meet their eternal love If I have the chance To reach into the box of love The first candy I get How will it taste?

Bitter?

Spicy?

Sour?

Sweet?

There are three magical words today That everyone should hear And they're "I love you"

I think we'll just get some carnations.

My old lover is the mother of my five kids.

It's not the season of carnations.

-So there's no carnation? -No.

Great!

So all shall be well and rich Jack shall have Jill.

Not rich Jack. It's every Jack.

Don't be so naive.

You need money to raise a family.

But family is family. It has nothing to do with lovers.

Yes, it has.

Don't you need money to buy roses?

Yes, of course! It's...

It doesn't matter if it's love or money.

It's Valentine's Day and we should focus on love.

But today, we should--

Today, you should have the most beautiful rose.

Since I was born I've been preparing for love But my Mr. Right is late He hasn't shown up yet But each year on this day Whether it rains or snows I still believe in love I love you Sing it.

Yeah. I love you.

I love you I love you

-I love you -I love you

-I love you -I love you It's Valentine's Day Get ready for some adventures It's Valentine's Day My heart is full of nice feelings It's Valentine's Day I deserve a rose It's Valentine's Day I deserve the most beautiful love Yeah!

LEI

It's your morning call.

Wake up.

Hello?

Hi, get up.

Go wash your face.

I need to hear the water running.

Come on.

But you asked me to wake you up.

Go wash your face.

Are you happy now?

Have you really washed your face?

Oh, dear!

Happy?

-Are you awake? -Yes, I am.

Good morning. Happy Valentine's Day.

Don't say good morning on Valentine's Day. Just say... "I love you."

I love... you.

Do I?

What are you talking about?

Thank you, Ang.

Yeah. I've gotta go. It's the damned Valentine's Day.

Give me a discount for the chocolate I've ordered, and I'll introduce you to a pretty girlfriend of mine.

LEI

I was expecting you to say...

"I love you too."

The weather is fine And the sun is shining The skylines are stacking up Not many people look up

The sky in the distance Looks like the sea Clouds are waves running in it You'll never understand it

A whale is singing a song at 52Hz With no one listening to him He dives in the sky No one loves him or keeps him company The whale is in love with a girl on land He comes on shore and shouts out his love The girl hears him but can't feel him She can't feel him

I look up into the sky And down upon the city I'm alone, swimming in a sea of people Without a sound

Without a sound

What are you looking at?

Take those things downstairs for packing.

Without a sound

The weather is fine And the sun is shining I see myself as a cat Going into a street corner unknown

There's not much space for love Who can give me Empty arms to stay in?

Don't leave my heart in the cold Like a flea Jumping, and jumping

And jumping XIN FLOWER SHOP

Yeah, I'm coming!

I'm coming! What's the rush for?

Hello? It's Xin.

Nothing. Yes?

Yes. NT$2,800.

Yeah, no problem.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Bye-bye.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Every year on this day, I have to watch all the lovers hugging and kissing in front of me.

I don't like it.

Xin, sing!

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day, Xin.

Who grows these beautiful roses With thorns?

Why do I have to be careful Not to be heartbroken Whenever I'm ready to love?

It stings your finger a little And you'll remember better who I am

Who grows these beautiful roses With thorns?

Or am I a sensitive cat Smiling with thorns at some man?

Am I chicken? Or am I too picky?

Or simply because I'm not pretty?

You think every male dog is in heat today?

Auntie, why are you dressed like this?

Because it's Valentine's Day.

Do you have a date?

What if suddenly I have one?

A rose with thorns, you'll love it dearly A fish with bones A cat will eat it carefully You'll hurt a girl with thorns If you leave her alone I don't have a lover. How can I get hurt?

You're hurt without love.

Never mind. Let's raise the prices today.

I wanna meet someone An atheist who talks about eternity And he can rid the roses of thorns Get rid of them like nothing is wrong I wanna meet someone Who acts carefully but loves passionately And he'll throw his arms around me The cat with thorns that lives in me

Who grows these beautiful roses With thorns?

Why do I always embrace love With bare hands But try not to let my heart break?

Isn't that you?

Isn't that me?

Who grew those beautiful roses With thorns?

Xin, sing!

-Happy Valentine's Day! -You're childish.

What a cliché!

Yeah, what's the address?

Am I the one to wake love up?

Let me sleep for half an hour more.

When I wake up, I'll tell you my whole dream.

I thought it was a talent to dream

But I never thought that even at night You're daydreaming

A dream A beautiful dream, some vanity A new dress displayed in the window A romantic candlelit dinner A pair of shoes That I've been longing for A sightseeing trip A bouquet of red roses on Valentine's Day Taxes and fines, utility bills A wedding of a girl's dream A dog and an instrument that a boy wants Plus a car, a house, a child Adding all of these up Is the maintenance expense for our love TAIPEI GOVERNMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT I don't have to give up much For loving you Except for all I've got I haven't gained much from loving you Besides an overdraft I realize the biggest lie about love Is that love can conquer anything Yes, the future you're talking about Is beautiful But when the bills come All the romance will be k*lled Should I do it? Forget it Ask yourself and answer it Have you done that a lot?

Why have you given up The things you want?

Why are you always bargaining With yourself?

You think twice before buying everything Is it the kind of life you want?

Give up, give up, give up Love is not charity work If you can't afford it, just give up Wake up, wake up, wake up Set a stop-loss point for love There's no such thing as a free lunch All I want is a home for my love.

-Has he proposed? -Do you wanna marry him?

-Have you thought about the future? -Wake up!

You're losing the battle.

Life will be harder with kids.

But I...

Give up, give up, give up Love is not charity work If you can't afford it, just give up Wake up, wake up, wake up Set a stop-loss point for love There's no such thing as a free lunch Our love is A bad debt You pay everything on credit And I hesitate to buy anything You're profuse with expectations Wasting my youth away On monthly installments In exchange for what you take for granted

I'm alone by the lamp at night The wind's blowing in my face You're as naive as you can be What a foolish girl!

The breeze is laughing at you Because you've fallen into his trap Without knowing Am I the one to wake love up?

A beautiful dream is a dream after all Can't believe I've expected your song And I've even got myself a usurious loan Yes, love is a usurious loan But you have to pay it all I'm getting chicken soon Because the future keeps coming closer While you're getting bolder and bolder Am I the one to wake love up?

Facing the stage, it's to your left.

Hi, handsome!

He says, "Let there be light"

And I see you in the light You and I are different, but alike We're the lights in the mirror From the same source

I say, "Let us have love"

And I see my weakness in love I give half of me for half of you We're in the mirror wearing the same ring Their prejudice hurts our feelings So let's look at each other to decide If we're pretty We're both children of the light From afar You're inside the mirror and I'm outside You're looking at me like I'm at you We're one, destined to be together You're inside the mirror and I'm outside We're different forms of the same light We were both born to experience love To experience love

He says, "Let there be light"

I see all sorts of forms in the light We have our different longings We're both in the mirror We're different, but alike Excuse me...

But alike Are you going to Taipei City's joint wedding ceremony?

Come on.

Taipei City's joint wedding ceremony?

You've ruined a romantic wedding.

Yeah.

We need flowers.

Stop the car!

Give us a minute.

Come on, baby.

Let's buy some flowers.

Hurry up! I'll wait for you.

It's okay.

You can leave if you want.

But I can't leave. You haven't paid me.

Wow, plenty of them!

They're beautiful!

Come on, let's go!

Xin, sing!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Aren't you ever tired of this game?

No, I'm not.

-Those happily in love should sing. -Come in. Sorry.

A female dog in heat can't find a male... one.

I'm sorry. I didn't notice that you're...

-I meant her. -No, it's okay.

-I didn't mean it. No offense. -Yes, I know.

-I think that love has... -I know.

-...nothing to do with age or gender. -I feel you!

I feel you.

You're the first man...

Woman...

That...

Coffee? Or tea?

Coffee! I'll make some.

Excuse me. A bridal bouquet?

It's all right. We'll look around.

-I want the red ones. -Yeah, red ones.

The champagne ones suit you better.

Are you taking part in the joint wedding?

Their theme this year...

White dresses, white suits and red rose bouquets.

So I suggest champagne roses for you.

They're gentle, but eye-catching.

But we don't want to attract attention.

Why do you get married if you don't?

Hey, don't worry.

We're young, and we deserve the unique love that we want.

What do you think?

Wow, it's beautiful!

-Yeah, you're talented. -Thank you.

-Are you the owner, ma'am? -Yeah.

But don't call me "ma'am." It makes me seem old.

I've just celebrated my 25th birthday.

What about the... "coffee or tea?"

That's my auntie. She's 52 years old.

Thank you.

Hi, Auntie.

Have you seen my niece?

She's there, isn't she?

No, I want my 33-year-old niece, not the 25-year-old one.

Oh, well...

-The taxi's waiting. -Yeah, the taxi's waiting.

How much?

Two-five.

I'm not interested in your age at all.

How much is it?

NT$2,500.

Thanks, sis.

-Thank you. -Yeah, by the way...

-I'm 31 and she's 32. -Add some.

-I'm 51 and she's... -52.

But we don't care how old we are because we have each other...

And love!

I've never seen such an annoying gay couple.

Come on. Here.

Maybe they left some saliva of happiness in it.

Don't miss the opportunity.

Drink it.

Oh, dear!

You're so depressed that you've finished the black coffee.

Don't make me cry.

We're the magpies of love The magpies that make the bridge of love When we lift others higher Our wings become heavier Hey! Get yourself together.

There are over 6 billion people in the world.

At least half of them are male.

Forget those who are too old, too young or too stupid.

There are still millions.

So you're very likely to mate.

To wed!

Yeah, to wed.

To be frank, you don't look like you're 33.

You're 32 at most.

All right. Tell me...

What is your favorite dish?

My favorite dish? But we're talking about men.

You'll meet your true love Sooner than later It makes no sense That you don't have one Don't worry I'll get one for you I'll never let you down

How about that yuppie with a mustache?

With long hair and a free personality?

No, he's about the age of my father And his mustache tickles me when he kisses me.

-Failed. -Kisses you?

You've already thought of that?

You don't understand.

The mustache is useful in flirting.

No.

He smokes and his mouth stinks.

What about that handsome young man?

With a cute butt and an eye-catching look?

No, I don't like his hairstyle He looks like a snob Harassing girls like a fly. Failed.

Like a fly?

Then you're the dog sh*t.

No, I'm a flower.

A beautiful rose.

How about a strong driver?

He has strong arms for his lover You can get a sense of security from him Oh, my!

Open your eyes!

Haven't you seen that huge tummy of his?

From this angle, he looks like...

A tadpole!

Disgusting!

Hey, careful.

No, I'm fine.

I'm totally fine.

Yeah, you're late for school. Go on!

Bye-bye!

Hey, wake up!

He's just a little boy.

And you're way over 30.

No, I'm 33! I'm not way over!

-It makes no difference. -Yes, it makes a lot of difference.

So, you're way over 50?

Don't you dare say that again!

No...

Girls always trouble themselves with love We're picky before we say yes But we're paranoid after it Always remembering who makes us say yes As long as you try harder To tolerate My self-indulgence and paranoia I'll ignore it When you become bald or fat

Come to me, my Mr. Right I'll definitely hold you tight Despite all the difficulties I'll keep on Looking for love

-Who are you? -You cockroach!

Why did you fly in here to scare us?

No, I walked through the front door.

-What flying cockroach? -I'm afraid of cockroaches!

-I'm not a cockroach. -What do you want?

I want flowers. I'm a customer. Where are your manners?

Why are you shouting?

Hey?

What flowers do you want?

You're not happy today.

I guess you don't have a lover.

You're disgusting!

You're a failure!

At least a flying cockroach is indigenous to Taiwan.

-Why am I a failure? -Give it back!

You're so humble.

A pink cockroach is a world heritage.

What do you want? Come on!

We're busy.

But she's in pink too.

None of your business!

All right! It's Valentine's Day.

Don't be such a spoilsport.

Can't I have a look around?

Hey!

You can look, but you can't touch.

These! I want them!

Red roses symbolize my passion.

It's a very important day for me.

I'm buying a promise for life.

Red roses of love.

Ninety-nine of them.

And...

I'm paying by credit card.

He really can play it.

Give me a break. I sell guitars. Of course I can play it.

And I'm good at it.

Glad you don't sell pesticide.

You'll be in big trouble if you're good at drinking it.

Forget it. A cockroach will never understand me.

Give us five minutes to wrap your flowers up.

Yeah, five minutes.

Enough for me to sing a song.

-Background music! -That guitar is for display only.

One of the strings is missing.

If you really know how to play it, you don't care how many strings it has.

Lights!

What lights?

Do, Mi, but no Sol Do, Mi, but no Sol Something's missing in my love song But it's sweet as well Do, Mi, but no Sol

That is me

I often forget her bidding Or remember her birthday wrong I have no house, only a broken scooter Which is impossible to start She says I'm good at being hungry And I'm talented In sleeping and daydreaming I enjoy singing songs to myself But nobody understands my jokes There's a string missing in my guitar But only it can play your song Do, Mi, but no Sol I'm whispering my love At least I have Do, Re, Mi, Fa, But no Sol There's a string missing in my guitar But only it can play your song Do, Mi, but no Sol I'm whispering my love That is me We've been together for ten years.

I've held her hands 12,542 times.

You've even counted them?

Of course not. It's a sweet euphuism.

My love is the most special note in the world.

I can play a happy melody even if one string's missing.

I'll make The most important promise tonight So, darling, please answer me With "Yes, I do"

Yes, I do You mean you're proposing to her?

Respond to my love

How moving!

I've never seen a cockroach courting.

Do, Mi, but no Sol Do, Mi, but no Sol Something's missing in my chords But I'm accompanied by love Please marry me Please marry me I'll sing you my love song Through all eternity

I'll say that you've lost weight When you're on a diet I'll cook for you when you're sick Lift the toilet seat before And wash your hands after Put your clothes away And your dirty socks in the laundry Give your wife all your salary I'm getting married, not being sent to jail.

Hey, young man...

I'm sharing my experience with you.

Hey, Auntie. I know you're a middle-ager, but I don't think you have the experience.

We're romantically in love.

Please...

I know I'm lazy and always asleep And I don't have a lot of money To squander But I'll hold your hand For the rest of my life Although I don't know how long it'll last There's a string missing in my guitar But only it can play your song Do, Mi, but no Sol I'm whispering my love That is me My love will make you my queen I'll try my best to make you happy I'll make The most important promise tonight So, darling, please answer me With "Yes, I do"

Yes, I do Respond to my love

Yes, I do!

Do, Mi, but no Sol But you'll always have my love I'm not perfect So I'll cling to you always

Please have faith in me I'll root for you Let's glorify love with our life Through all eternity Here's the bill, sir It's NT$9,999 Damn!

I want red roses, but why are they so expensive?

It's not expensive if it's for life.

Yeah, never mind.

I'm rich anyway.

So, at 7:00 this evening, send them to this restaurant.

What? Why didn't you say so? I didn't have to wrap them now.

But I was busy singing. Be on time.

God!

How could someone fall in love with him?

Hey!

Come on!

It's Valentine's Day. Wish us happiness, will you?

Yeah, wish you happiness.

Damn! No way!

Why is it raining on Valentine's Day?

But...

The sun's still shining.

The rain will stop soon. It's only a shower.

Yeah.

It's both sunny and raining.

How beautiful! Just like my love for her.

So romantic!

On Valentine's Day, the weather is romantic too.

Damn! What the hell?

But you just said the weather is romantic.

Fine. Never mind.

I've got to go.

Hey!

You kept saying that you love her, but I'm wondering...

Does she love you?

Of course!

I think that his parents are both optimistic.

A big umbrella for the stereo!

Here it is!

MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL

Why is it sunny and raining At the same time?

Is it a hint?

How can the two parallels Meet at some point?

It's an inharmonic beauty Sunshine dyes the rain golden Just like you put a rainbow in my eyes

Love is both sunny and raining You think it foolish to walk in the rain

Love is both sunny and raining But I'm only smart enough to love you

Why is it sunny and raining At the same time?

Is it a hint?

The two parallels meet again What a contradiction The rain rids the sun of its glory Just as you make a girl Afraid of the future

Love is a multiple choice question Whether it's right or wrong You think it a good thing Love is a multiple choice question But is it good to you? Or to me?

Above the clouds, it's forever sunny During the monsoon, it's endlessly cloudy If we have to choose a place To settle down Will it be my optimism?

Or my pessimism?

Love is both sunny and raining It makes the strange familiarity And familiar strangeness Intertwine so beautifully But it's illogical for the dark cloud To fall in love with the blue sky But when the blue sky Falls in love with the dark cloud It'll stop raining soon

It stopped raining.

Come on, the rain stopped.

The sun and the rain don't belong together.

Love is powerful indeed.

Hey, Lei!

Have you checked the remote for balloons?

Yeah, it's good!

Lei?

What?

They didn't register, but they're here.

I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to join them.

Why not?

All we want is to be a part of it.

It's not about joining or not. This is a legal wedding ceremony.

They'll be husbands and wives by law.

But our law hasn't approved your...

We're not here for your approval.

We want everyone's blessing.

It was not easy for us to find each other.

Please give us your blessing.

I guess...

When you're in love with your boyfriend, you'd want others' blessings too, right?

Yeah. Do you have a boyfriend?

What does that have to do with this?

I'm sorry.

You can't register.

But I'll put you in the middle of the first row for you to receive the greatest blessing.

Is that good enough?

Hello? Yes, sir.

Everything's okay, but I need to confirm it.

Yeah. In an hour?

Okay. Yeah, all right.

Thank you!

Yeah. Good.

Bye.

A bit bitter and a bit sweet Is that the taste of love?

When she's the wind In love with the summer I'm the ocean disturbed by her in June

Drinking seawater makes me thirsty I'm waiting with tears, sweet and bitter

Salty?

You've added seawater and tears to the chocolate.

Who is the girl?

Is she in your imagination?

I've told you. She's the wind in love with the summer.

So she doesn't even know that you love her?

If she's the June wind In love with the summer You should be the anemoscope That blesses her I'm a whale searching for What the wind wants in the sea But her love is so picky You can make a nice dough With the best butter Salt, sugar, flour and milk But you can't force The taste buds of love We don't have much time to create your love today.

Come and help with the mass production of love.

Hey, Ang...

I used to be exactly like you when I was young.

Every morning when I woke up, I wanted to make the best bread for my wife.

But I don't have a wife. How can I be like you?

Then she fell ill and d*ed.

Life was difficult for a few years.

The bread I made was hard as rock.

It didn't taste bad, but it had no taste at all.

Then one day when I was making bread, I thought of her smile.

She smiled at me and I smiled at her.

She kept smiling at me and I kept smiling at her.

And you know what?

The bread I made that day tasted better than any other bread.

I used the same recipe, but it tasted really good.

-Aren't you surprised? -No. The bread in cartoons can even sing.

I'm remembering my wife. What are you talking about?

How many loaves of bread have you made?

Always with the same smile on your mind?

Sometimes...

Sometimes, someone else would smile at me.

Love is sweet and so is yearning.

But too much love or yearning makes your heart heavy.

Yeah, I know.

Make it a little more bitter.

But it's difficult to give up the unrequited love and wish them happiness.

If she's the June wind In love with the summer Just wish her happiness sincerely.

It's weird.

I've never been in love, but why do I feel lovelorn?

A bit bitter and a bit sweet Is that the taste of love?

I learn how to play the guitar With the hands that make desserts Hopefully the music that I write Sounds like summer too And when she hears my song She'd feel happy also Maybe by the end of this summer

She'll know my hesitation

MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL

To dream or to face reality It's a dilemma she's in She can have love But she can't afford it Before your lover says "I do"

You have to ask her first He's waiting for the right time To make a promise But he waits Until he has enough savings He always has two helmets with him

Waiting for a possibility But in the heavy traffic Who will wait For a whale swimming slowly?

She's afraid that the roses Might be out of bloom soon Like a cat, careful and cautious But modern people want love And curse it at the same time My love comes and goes But I'm afraid that I'm not good enough My love comes and goes But I'm afraid That I won't be naive forever My love comes and goes But I'm afraid that There's no Mr. Right for me My love comes and goes But I'm afraid that She doesn't mean she and I When she says "us"

So what's wrong, love? You come to us But we're scared with you So what's wrong, love? You leave us But we're lonely without you To be happy is all we want To be approved is all we need The gate of love We can neither get in nor out of it Love comes and goes It comes and goes again So what's wrong, love? You come to us But we're scared with you So what's wrong, love? You leave us But we're lonely without you To be happy is all we want To be approved is all we need The gate of love We can neither get in nor out of it Love comes and goes It comes and goes again

Hey!

Hey!

Would you please rehearse my song?

It's an important evening for me.

But, Da-he, we're performing at 7:30, while in your text to us, you said 6:30?

But I've made a reservation.

Give us a break. No one sings in a restaurant at 6:30.

You can propose to her after you finish dinner.

Yeah. But it's not how I want it to be.

We'll do it at 7:30.

Listen, if you propose to her at 6:30, it's awkward.

But if you do it at 7:30, it's great!

-7:30. -What's the difference?

Forget it. I don't understand you musicians' logic.

7:30 it is.

-Hey! I don't need it. -You've memorized the lyrics?

Of course! I wrote them. Don't forget to ask me to sing on stage.

You're not the one who wrote them. Don't steal my song again.

And I'll bring my own guitar. Keep that in mind.

Hey!

I'm proposing, not fighting a battle.

I need something romantic.

MAY EVERY JACK HAVE HIS JILL

What the hell?

Hey! What are you doing?

Do me a favor. My feet... Pull my feet.

-I can't get out. -What the hell? Get down!

You didn't watch where you were going. Didn't you see my van?

You bumped into it without braking.

-But I was going straight. -Excuse me!

It's not much to look at. Get out of here! Let us deal with it.

Stop taking photos, okay? Please. Thanks a lot.

-What are you going to do? -What? Me?

You drove a van and I rode a scooter. Whose fault was it?

It was your fault. You bumped into my van.

You have to take the responsibility. You'll pay to get my van fixed.

-What? -Yes, you will. And...

I can't make deliveries before my van is fixed.

You're going to make up for it.

What? What are you looking at?

Do you want me to call the police?

Yeah, call them.

Let them decide who's right or wrong.

You were sitting in the van without a scratch while I flew away when you bumped into me.

And you don't wanna know if I'm fine.

You look pretty, but you're so cruel.

Well... Do I really look pretty?

Have you only heard what you wanna hear?

Flower shop...

XIN FLOWER SHOP So you make deliveries too.

Are you okay?

I think I'm fine.

You're delivering others' love too?

Yeah, everything's fine.

But I'm not!

-Are you happy? -Yes!

-Are you blessed? -Yes!

-Are you in love? -Yes!

Good. Ladies and gentlemen, the mayor is here.

We're honored to have the mayor for our joint wedding ceremony.

"May every Jack have his Jill."

A round of applause!

Let's hear it for the Taipei City mayor, Mr. Ko Wen-Je.

He's here to marry you all. Please, Mr. Mayor.

Hi, ladies and gentlemen.

Hello.

I'm not a romantic person.

All I want is efficiency.

I give orders and I want results.

Everything in between, you'll have to do it yourselves.

Now I'm giving an order.

When you finish the wedding ceremony, don't waste any time.

Go home and get busy.

Do you understand me?

Bring me your results next year to that area under the tent, like those young parents there.

And I'll tell you again next year to be in love with each other for life.

Okay. Release the balloons.

The rings. And kiss.

Good. Now I pronounce you husbands and wives.

It's done.

-Stay here. -Where are you going?

Here you are. Happy Valentine's Day!

Love can be creative Drawing auroras and rainbows Love can take you up and down Like a roller coaster You can dream if you like Or you can be a chicken You're welcome to the ever-changing world It's long before the midnight bell tolls There are lots of glass slippers On the way to tomorrow Someone comes from a fairytale Riding a white horse Someone presents a red apple Like a smiling devil Someone's giving out balloons Like a clown Someone's reciting a poem like a poet Let's spin around, you and I Who's the next lucky one?

Who's going to meet their one true love?

Love can be creative Drawing auroras and rainbows Love can take you up and down Like a roller coaster I'd like to know the poll of love How many people are happy, or sad, Or uncertain?

Or curious about The perfect amount of love?

Someone hides his surprise in a joke Someone, romantically, his love shows I give you chocolate He gives her red roses Who's to decide if it's perfect or not?

Mr. Mayor, happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Happy Valentine's Day.

It's Valentine's Day.

For you.

-What's next? -The next one is my chocolate.

What happened to your helmet?

You fool.

Can't you see without your glasses?

Stop it.

I was told that if I don't wear them, I'll scare the girls off.

Nonsense! You'll only look glazed!

Love can be creative Drawing auroras and rainbows Love can take you up and down Like a roller coaster I'd like to know the poll of love How many people are happy, or sad Or uncertain?

Believe it or not To love at will is the perfect love Someone is singing Someone keeps silent Someone forgets to show up Someone is walking up to me One minute you have nothing at all Let us make a match for you.

But he bumped into me.

Everything is written in the stars Please Believe in love Embrace your true love

Love Yeah, okay.

Here...

Hurry up!

Yeah. Hurry up.

Have you seen some white things passing us just now?

-Yeah. Hurry up! -Okay.

"White things"?

They're newlyweds, not ghosts.

-Hello? -Where are you, Xin?

There are more deliveries to make.

But my van's broken.

Well, long story.

Isn't my brother there?

Yes, he is.

But with his long face, I don't want him to make deliveries.

I have a girlfriend too.

And I'm busy enough already.

Then why did you promise to come and help?

And you came at noon. Haven't you slept enough?

Let me talk to him, Auntie.

She wants you.

Come on!

Yes?

Listen, it's not my day.

Don't create any more trouble for me.

Just do everything Auntie says.

Or you'll get out of my house.

You hear me?

How annoying.

Yeah, all right.

I'll tell her. Yeah. Bye.

Auntie, she wanted me to stay here and mind the shop.

She said that you have a cute smile, so you make deliveries.

I'm cute? I make deliveries?

Don't you know the ethics?

What?

I've been busy since early in the morning.

It's 3:00 in the afternoon.

When I'm ready to rest and read the newspaper, you want me to make deliveries?

Ang has trouble with his scooter. And, look.

We have lots of customers.

Everyone is busy. I have to stay here.

And these are extra deliveries.

We want the money, don't we?

But I've made everything for you in just two days.

Whose idea was it to sell chocolate on Valentine's Day?

Mine.

And you want me to make deliveries?

Why are you watering the flowers at noon?

Stop pretending to work hard!

The god of love sh**t an arrow And it hits the heart of a young girl Her heart's b*ating fast When eating the candy made of love The god of love sh**t an arrow And it hits the heart of a young boy He falls in love and gives her flowers It's never too late For them to meet each other We're lonely when we're growing up But we grow up to rid ourselves Of being lonely Even Cupid needs love too I wanna be held in your arms Even if one is changeable and selfish Only he knows how to love somebody Even Cupid needs love too I want you to indulge me But Cupid is a god.

-Does a god need love? -Of course.

A god may not need bread, but he'll be lonely without love.

I'm glad that we're ordinary people.

We want love and bread too.

Or our chocolate wouldn't have so many sales.

-Right? -All right.

You deserve to have both love and bread.

Let's go for the last deliveries.

Damn! I really want to work overtime.

I'm sad with love And even sadder without it And I've tried hard to hang on to it If in your search you come up empty-handed Why don't you act crazy with me?

What will it be next?

Love always makes us nervous We're born to be torn apart It's the unforgettable part of love Red light!

You did it on purpose.

No, I didn't.

It's green.

This is my stop.

It's mine too.

Will you break my heart?

No, I won't.

Taipei 101. Taipei 101.

It's Valentine's Day. Give love a second chance.

Try harder, you lonely people.

Yeah. We haven't eaten anything today.

Because you bumped into my van.

Yeah. It was my fault.

Let's eat. What's the rush? Do you have a date?

No. Do you?

Mind your own business.

Listen...

When my van is fixed, you'll have to treat me.

To what? What do you want?

I want French.

These are mine, so you owe me two.

Here.

What? Take them.

Oh, no.

I didn't ride it yesterday and it won't start?

Damn you, Taipei!

Why am I too scared to break my guitar?

I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting for ten years I've waited And I'm still waiting But it's not too late to give up now If I give you up now At least I can save the exhausted me Love, I no longer believe in Now I'm ready to leave It's too late It's too late Zero the timer to stop our love forever The tragedy will be no more Lei!

The show will be on at 7:30 Give me a G To our love, I'm singing When the music's on, you'll know that Everything's fine if you're with me It's not too late It's not too late I'm on time, believe me

I haven't showed up on time So I'll never be on time to leave What do you want to eat?

It's your treat. You decide.

Me? Okay.

Let me order you...

A set meal of the best rib eye steak.

-As for me... -Wait a second.

What? Do you like it?

Or do you prefer the Australian classic...

Any set meal costs more than NT$3,000. Why are we here? Are you crazy?

It's all right. I have money.

These two set meals and a bottle of red wine.

Wait. Excuse me. Leave us the menu. We'll have coffee.

-Thank you. -No, it's okay.

Go ahead and place our order. Thank you.

Sit down.

Da-he.

Do you know how much your order costs?

It's my weekly wage!

Come on. It's Valentine's Day.

And for you, it's worth it. Don't worry. I have money.

You have money?

Then why don't you make our life easier?

I don't give a damn about this dinner.

Don't be mad.

In half an hour, I'll sing a song for you and tell you a secret.

I've waited ten years for you. Half an hour more won't k*ll me.

-Lei... -Can your stupid secret make my life a lot easier?

Don't worry, Lei. I'll pay by credit card.

Credit card?

You've squandered away my youth and my everything!

It'll be my credit card, not yours. I'll pay from now on.

Stop crying.

They're looking at us.

What's the big deal?

You have the courage to sing in front of them, but you're afraid of me crying here?

In order to be with you, to help you fulfill your great music fantasy...

-Dream. -It's a fantasy!

For your daydream and my dream of having a family, how much time and money have I spent?

What about you? How much money have you earned?

You've never earned over NT$9,000 with selling instruments and renting out the practice room.

-No, it's true. -And you spent NT$5,000 for this shirt.

Are you Pink Panther?

I can't go on like this anymore.

But, Lei...

I've had some success.

I'm not waiting for the roses.

And I'm not waiting for 7:30.

I'll tell you my first secret now.

The international music award...

-To hell with you and your music. -But I won first prize.

-I won! -It's none of my business!

So...

So the home I want is but an illusion created by myself.

So I've built a castle to lock myself up in it.

If you love me...

If you really love me, why didn't you get me out?

I can't believe our last deliveries are to the same restaurant.

What a coincidence.

It's so unique and pretty.

How much is it? I want one too.

"How much"? It's someone else's love.

What's wrong with you?

I know.

Valentine's Day will be over soon, so you're sad, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

Lei, I know I'm late, and I'm really sorry.

But every song I wrote, I wrote it for you.

I have a song. I'll sing it now.

I'll get you out with it.

Please... Please don't.

You can't get me out even if you k*ll yourself.

I know I'm not somebody.

But as long as I have a guitar, I can write songs of my love to you because I'm telling the world with my music... that I love you. Do you understand, Lei?

I love you, you know?

Happy Valentine's Day, Lei.

Hi, Mr. Cockroach.

My love is not that great.

I've had enough after ten years.

-I'm breaking up with you. -Let's get married, Lei.

-Let's get married. -Go away!

-Lei! -Lei?

Lei!

You know the girl, right?

And you like her.

I heard you call her Lei, not Miss.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I'll take care of the flowers.

-But it's not... -Please.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy the meal. Happy Valentine's Day.

I was speeding But before the red light I stopped

How many heartbreaks Before meeting true love?

Where do I start this long story?

If we've crossed the starting point Can we talk about love on the way?

You're different From those billions of people You've shown up and it's destiny We're destined to meet each other I've lost one half of my soul And I find it in your eyes It is love

Hi, I'm Ang.

I'm 31.

And you?

I'm Xin.

We're two years apart.

I'm 29.

Lei!

Lei!

Before you finish counting the stars Don't be distracted

You've got to ten Why don't you keep counting?

Where do I start this long story?

If I no longer yearn for tomorrow, Can we stop While the night is still beautiful?

You've locked up the door That should be open for me You and I both have the key Let's be together to do everything I can't guarantee How good your life will be In a black hole, light will always be seen Leaving me troubled

Fold a thin piece of paper countless times

And it'll be so thick That it reaches the moon

Where do I start this long story?

You can't practice love With an opportunity We're partners It takes two people To sing a song beautifully

I bought this ring for you

because I knew you'd give it back to me.

What a ridiculous way to get a present.

I don't want to be a fool anymore.

You can have this ring, but I'm leaving.

What? Again? Come on. You're hard to get.

You've said what you wanted to say and sung what you wanted to sing.

What do I stay here for?

That was not what I wanted to sing.

Don't worry.

I don't blame you for being too romantic. I blame myself for being too naive.

No one breaks up on Valentine's Day!

You can't do that!

Let's start over. Forget everything that has happened.

Let's start over from the beginning.

This time, we walk together into the restaurant.

We walk in together, but there's no table for us.

So the manager takes us to the rooftop, the VIP seats for lovers.

-What are you doing? -Let's go to the rooftop.

-But it's someone's car. -It's not mine anyway.

-Stop it! -I don't have a car anyway.

But if you like this car, I'll buy you one next month.

This time I won't sit across from you. I'm sitting by your side.

Let's order two of their cheapest set meals.

And look.

I've got you this night sky.

Look at it.

Then I say...

I've been in love with you for ten years.

Please let me keep on loving you.

And you say...

You say...

I've had enough after ten years.

I'm breaking up with you.

Forget it. Let's eat.

Here are the steaks. This is yours.

-And this is mine. -Don't waste your time.

I'm determined to break up with you. It's not a sudden whim.

I've thought about it for a long time.

You're so cruel.

You've thought about it for long before breaking up with me.

But I'm not ready.

It's not fair.

Not fair at all.

Here's the deal. Let's break up.

But I think that love is like a shuttle run.

The finish line is the starting point.

So breaking up is not the end, but the beginning of our walking back.

So you have to walk with me back to the start, back to where we met.

What?

But I've been with you for ten years.

I'll spend another ten years walking back with you?

I'll be over 40 years old. Who wants a middle-aged woman?

Me. I do. I want you.

We'll have enough wisdom to start walking together again.

But I'm not stupid. I don't want to start over with you.

You can sleep on it. But, Lei...

Can I sing you the song that won first prize?

I wrote it for you.

Sing it if you like.

Do, Mi, but no Sol...

-Just kidding. Not that one. -Be gentle!

Wow, the way you said it...

So sexy.

You're crazy.

In my first ten years I didn't play house with you In my second ten years I played the guitar without you I used to imagine what you'd look like And compare it to the sunshine That I liked But I'd never seen the sweetest summer

In my third ten years You showed up like we'd already met You love to smile And I like to joke around with you We walk everywhere side by side You're afraid that Love won't be with us forever So let me change my vows I'll love you for ten years more

When we're...

What?

When we're...

Come on!

When we're together When we're together We're as happy as we can be When we're together When we're together We're as happy as we can be

Good evening.

We're The Wonderful Four.

We'll be responsible for warming up, opening performance, closing, ending performance and encores.

Happy Valentine's Day to all.

-It's Valentine's Day? -For the opening performance...

-What? You didn't know? -A friend of mine...

-Oh, no! -...is proposing to his princess.

He's singing her the song that won first prize.

Let's hear it for...

Mr. You Da-he!

Da-he?

Mr. You Da-he?

Mr. You Da-he...

Once.

Mr. You Da-he...

Twice.

Let her decide.

Mr. You Da-he?

Well, sorry then.

In my first ten years I didn't play house with you Hi, Miss.

Sell me those flowers, please?

But I have my own Valentine.

Pretty please?

Actions speak louder than words.

Call now to order a bouquet.

It's not too late.

-No, it's too late. -No, it's not.

These two...

Which one tastes better?

They're both delicious.

Oh, no!

What the hell is this place?

It's so expensive.

I'll pay.

I'll pay.

Happy Valentine's Day.

-Thank you. -I've come prepared.

-I'll take care of it for you. -Okay.

Oh, God. NT$100 for a rose?

Come on. It's Valentine's Day.

Even if you don't have a boyfriend, buy yourself one.

-How did you know that I don't... -I've been there before.

Here. Be happy even when you're alone. Understand?

NT$100.

How much longer shall we wait? It's Valentine's Day.

Let's wait until you smile.

But I've been sitting here with you for so long that I've forgotten how.

But they haven't come back.

I can't leave, or my sister will kick me out.

Well, why don't you move in with me?

Let's close up.

-It's Valentine's Day, Mommy. -Happy Valentine's Day, baby!

Come here!

I've missed you so much!

Be a good girl and say hello.

-Hi, Auntie. -Hi, Olivia.

Let's call her "Mommy."

-Okay? -But there are two mommies.

Then I'm Big Mommy and she's Little Mommy.

I know there will be another And yet another ten years When you're too old to walk My hands will still be holding yours

When we're together When we're together We're as happy as we can be When we're together When we're together We're as happy as we can be

What do you think?

Well...

So everyone loves a silly love song.

What silly love song? I was confessing my love to you.

It's a silly love song anyway.

When will you be awarded?

Next month. But there's only one ticket.

I won't go.

Come on!

I'm serious.

I've asked them to mail me the prize money.

There's prize money?

Of course.

It's $30,000.

We can buy a house downtown and a car, too.

And we can have a child.

But $30,000 is a little less than NT$1 million.

Or we can pay our debts.

That's more like it.

But how much do we owe the bank?

A little less than NT$1 million.

So we'll be back to the start?

Great!

Back to the start and we can break up.

That's not what I meant!

All right, already!

...as happy as we can be When we're together When we're together We're as happy as we can be

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Thank you!

Thank you all!

Next up...

"Big World, Small World."

I hear the sunshine because you're warm I hear the rainbow because of your smile I was wrong to think that my ears Couldn't hear the happiness Then you showed up and my heart b*at fast And my voice has a pulse So I've had a big world of love That's deafeningly beautiful But I've never shared it With anyone before Thank you for giving me A small world of love For me to keep quiet loudly Because I don't have to say a thing To make sure that you understand me

I hear the flowers blooming Because you pick me I hear the candy sweet Because you kiss me Your whispers in my ears Stop me from being lonely And prove that everyone Will be heard eventually So I've had a big world of love That's deafeningly beautiful But I've never shared it With anyone before Thank you for giving me A small world of love For me to keep quiet loudly Because I don't have to say a thing To make sure that you understand me

So I've had a big world of love That's deafeningly beautiful But I've never shared it With anyone before Thank you for giving me A small world of love For me to keep quiet loudly Because I don't have to say a thing To make sure that my dearest you Loves me as well

Thank you!
