GREAT IDIOMS SUPPLEMEN

BY SHUI-YUAN

-Hello, Madam.

-Hey.

Did you confiscate that from a student?

No, it's mine.

Oh?

My kid asked me to quit smoking

ten years ago.

This pack

has been in my drawer ever since.

I really feel like smoking today.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Yesterday,

I received another letter of complaint

from a student. Yes.

It said that you insult your students

with strong language,

your exams are too hard,

and you don't smile enough.

-Was it that young couple again?

-It doesn't matter who it was.

The number of students registering

has gone down again this month.

I heard that Ming-te

has a new Chinese language teacher.

Really?

Yes, he's funny.

Tells the odd dirty joke.

The students like his classes.

He's stolen loads of our students.

Even my own kid

His grades really improved.

Shui-yuan.

You used to be our star teacher, right?

But students don't go for those

strict teaching methods anymore. Okay?

Am I right? Isn't that true?

They're already exhausted from school,

why would they come here afterward

only to be shouted at?

They don't want that.

I don't want that either.

You've got to find a way

to make students like you more.

Director.

SHUI-YUAN CHINESE

"Build a solid foundation."

"Choose the right path

for further education

and never take any detours in life."

-What is the essence of education?

-To earn money!

f*ck!

Hey, every time I try

to give you honest advice,

you talk about

about the essence of education.

All schools ever teach

is this useless nonsense.

Students only come here

because they learn nothing at school.

Okay?

You think they come here

to learn how to become a saint?

They just want to get good grades

and find a good job.

In the end, isn't it all about money?

If you're so self-righteous,

why don't you go teach at a school?

Why teach in a cram school?

Don't tell me it's not for the money.

It's not.

I want more people to hear my lectures.

Then don't charge.

Learn from the greatest sage and teacher.

Just

Take sausages as payment.

Cured meat.

He accepted cured meat!

Cured He Every

Everyone knows it was cured meat!

I don't care if it was sausages

or cured meat! Hey.

Cured meat is even more expensive.

Shui-yuan.

Director.

Shui-yuan.

Director.

Right.

You have lofty ideals, right?

But your students don't like you anymore.

You won't get more students to

your lectures.

Isn't that the opposite of what you want?

Smiling is so important.

Okay?

Tell some jokes.

Whether they have substance or not

isn't important.

Okay?

Director. Let me tell you a joke.

What happens

when two idiots walk into a bar?

I don't know.

They both get

bumps on their heads!

They hit their heads!

You're most gifted.

Yes, get students to like your classes.

That's all.

You have the talent.

Just make some adjustments.

Okay?

A handsome teacher

can produce good students too.

Okay?

-Not bad.

-Okay.

f*ck.

The mock exam will start now.

Write 50 idioms each.

Hey, the idiot teacher's in.

Is he stupid?

PERVERT SHUI-YUAN

OLD FAR

He's seen it. The idiot's seen it.

The director said

you're under a lot of pressure.

No one wants to come here

to get shouted at.

Then

I'll tell you a joke.

Wow, so funny.

He-he.

Sir.

Better make sure your joke is funny.

Orz.

All right.

Put your handouts away. Let's begin.

Take this seriously.

If anyone makes a mistake,

I'll k*ll them.

IDIOMS AREN'T THAT DIFFICUL

BY HUANG HSIEN

Sir.

Was he your student?

When two rabbits run side by side,

how to tell

which is male and which is female?

Officer Wu.

Look at your doodles.

I can't even tell if the person

is male or female.

If my student looked like that,

he would have been my first victim.

f*cking giving us

the runaround again. Huh?

So you don't know him?

By the way,

you just said

Hsieh Cheng-ta was a delivery driver.

Why is he wearing an orange jacket?

-That's a delivery driver's uniform.

-Hey?

Didn't couriers wear beige before?

Sir, he's a delivery driver for

cellphone food delivery apps.

Each company has

Who cares about their uniforms?

I'm asking about Huang Hsien.

I'm working here! Go sit down!

I'm working here! Go sit down!

Me? Why should I sit down?

Hurry up!

I have a lead.

Do you want to know?

Do you know how I got Hsiao-chien

to open the front door back then?

Hold this.

What's this?

Pretending to be a courier?

LIN PAI-SHENG, 37, VICTIM'S MANAGER

HSIEH CHENG-TA, 39, DELIVERY DRIVER

Getting in disguised as a delivery driver

is actually quite possible.

Hey. Why are you always

cutting your nails?

It was my right toenails before.

You can cut them all at once.

No need to do it every day.

The security guard, Hsiao Woo, said

that the delivery drivers

always use the back door.

But the back door cameras don't work,

so there's no footage.

It sucks that CCTV

wasn't installed near the CUA high school

and the cameras

in Mogi's place were fake.

It's a shame.

-Boss.

-Yes?

Surely you don't believe

all this nonsense.

How many other jobs in Taiwan

have access to residential buildings?

Forget delivery drivers.

What about postmen? Meter readers?

Hey, and people delivering gas.

Right.

What idiot carries a gas tank to a m*rder?

It happened before. Pingtung, 1981.

Someone called the Gas k*ller.

-Right.

-Really?

Anyone who can carry a gas tank

would be good at carrying corpses.

Hey.

I didn't say

that Hsieh Cheng-ta was the k*ller.

-Boss, you keep changing your mind.

-You're the one who changes your mind.

A few hours ago,

you were sure Mr. Lin was the k*ller.

Lin Pai-sheng led me to Huang Hsien.

It proves my instincts are right.

Oh? So you men

just rely on your instincts, huh?

Then let's vote on it. Okay?

Huang Hsien was Mogi Yumi's

Chinese teacher.

Chinese teachers love k*lling people.

One vote.

Chubby!

Hsieh Cheng-ta

Hsieh Cheng Hsieh

Hsieh Cheng-ta had an argument

with Mogi before her death,

his story about Mr. Lin is far-fetched

and he doesn't have an alibi.

-Excuse me. Can I interrupt?

-Put that down.

Judging from the state of his place,

he should be ISFP.

This kind of person

is completely out of control. That's all.

Alright.

Shao-nien.

What about you?

-Damn, he's out of it again.

-Chief.

Boss.

Chief.

Boss.

Chief.

Boss.

-Chief.

-Boss.

Hey.

Hm?

You watch Huang Hsien.

You watch Hsieh Cheng-ta.

That's settled, okay? Go.

-Chief.

-Hm?

We don't have enough people

to split like this.

Why did you make me captain

if you don't trust my judgment

and let me take command?

Look, I get your point, but

Chubby.

Chubby.

Chubby.

You must think it's strange

that the girl insists

on interrogating the prisoner

and that the prisoner

will only talk to the girl, right?

Huh? What?

Oh, I get it. She tricked us

in the Lin Hsiao-yuan case before.

Then someone got promoted to captain.

This case is so big.

Maybe she'll get promoted

to precinct chief.

Didn't the Deputy take the Boss' credit

to get to her position?

-Ming-han, don't Don't.

-What?

Don't want me standing here?

-Fine, I'll get to work.

-Ming-han.

Hey.

Tzu-ching.

I trust in you.

Okay? You're not like the Deputy, are you?

Captain.

Follow Hsieh Cheng-ta, starting tomorrow.

I'll go keep an eye on Shui-yuan.

That's the reason

you agreed to him coming back, right?

-Hey.

-Hey, Captain.

Hey.

What's going on?

Look what you did.

Was I out of line earlier?

Hey, wait!

-Hey, hurry!

-Hurry up!

Be careful.

Hey, I've been chatting a lot

with this guy on Terrier lately.

Wow, he's hot.

I know, right?

Have you been working out with him yet?

-Five times a day.

-You're too much!

Hey, but I noticed

he's messaging other girls

on alternate accounts.

Be careful. Players are hard work.

Wait, he's super sad-looking.

-Let me see.

-He's clearly a peacock.

Yeah, pretty peacocky.

I asked him why he keeps messaging girls.

He said those girls messaged him

and got mad at me for checking his phone.

Peacocks only care about image.

-He'll blame you for everything.

-What's wrong with peacocks?

-Run!

-Hurry!

-Run!

-Who was that weirdo?

MING-HAN, YOU WERE OUT OF LINE.

THE CAPTAIN WAS SO UPSET.

Um

I want to tell you,

Shui-yuan knows Huang Hsien.

Bet Boss' reputation on it.

That b*stard Huang Hsien

is guilty as hell. That's all.

WU MING-HAN

SHUI-YUAN CHINESE

FIRST PLACE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

Who made you angry, Officer Lin?

I understand.

I understand.

The world is so big,

yet there's nowhere you belong.

I feel the same way.

When by yourself, it's called being alone.

Yet if you still feel alone

amidst a bunch of people,

it's called loneliness.

Why did you lie?

I can charge you for false testimony.

I'll take any rights you had left!

Tell me.

Is it fun to play me?

Huang Hsien Chinese.

Students.

Today, I'll tell you a story.

Chia Pao-yu was the second gen nerd

in the history of literature.

How so?

Because his dad Chia Cheng

was the first gen nerd.

Chia Cheng had vehicles,

money and houses.

He was even a Leo, with blood type O.

Every time he saw the maids

in Prospect Garden -

tall, short, fat, thin, sweet and salty -

he couldn't suppress his lust

for the maids.

The maids would run away

when they saw him.

Running and yelling.

This excited the father of Pao-yu

even more.

Do you know why?

Because the maids were yelling

DON'T! STOP! FATHER OF YU!

Don't! Stop! Father of Yu!

So what will happen

if you don't learn your idioms well?

Not much,

as long as you own Prospect Garden.

Alright. I'm just joking.

Dream of the Red Chamber

is a monumental work. How monumental?

It has over 700 characters.

If they all came here,

they would fill the school.

So the conclusion is don't read it.

It won't be in the exams.

The examiners haven't finished reading it.

Alright.

Okay, students.

Open your handouts to page 33.

Let's look at the key pre-examination

discussion points in Section 3.

This covers possible exam questions.

Let's take a look

HSIEN BABY

For a perfect score, you just need to

Tu Fu, the poet sage.

How could you miswrite that?

-Right.

-No, sir. I

-We've done that already?

-Sir, this one

-Really?

-How should I answer this?

"Immortals bring fame to any mountain."

Who's an immortal?

-Huang Hsien! You!

-Sir!

Of course.

-Come on.

-I'm so smart.

Remember to correct the mistakes.

Okay? Correct it. Make it right.

Mu-ting baby.

Sir.

Officer Lin.

You asked if Huang Hsien was my student.

Look at the photo.

What is he doing?

He's wiping the board.

He was a board assistant?

You know,

not everyone comes from a well-off family

and can receive

a high standard of education.

And I was a famous teacher.

I was very expensive.

Do you know what

"eyes obscured by a single leaf" means?

When we open our eyes

to see the things around us,

we think we're seeing the whole picture.

But in reality, if you do this

you won't be able to see anything.

That's bok choy.

You're too stubborn.

Do you think what you see is the truth?

Do you know the people around you?

Or do you just know their appearances?

Do the people around you know you?

Or do they just know

what you appear to be?

POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR

Why will you only talk to me?

Because I pity you.

You're like a child without a home.

What are you doing?

Adversities in life

are like this spot on your face.

You don't like it,

but it's already there.

You can only

slowly let it out of your body.

Let time solve everything.

What nonsense.

What are the police are up to?

They arrest people for ill*gal parking,

but haven't caught the Idiom Monster yet.

Of course I'm scared.

I went to many bookstores

but couldn't find an idiom dictionary.

I just don't dare let my kids out now.

The police sit around all day

drinking tea.

They can't be bothered

to catch the k*ller?

They just don't care

about the people's safety.

And speaking of the police

Come in.

Chief.

This is urgent.

-What is it?

-Quickly.

Want some strawberries?

Why are you

eating strawberries now? Huh?

Is this what was so urgent?

You don't want any?

They're imported Paris Strawberries.

Paris Strawberries?

Adding "Paris" makes them special?

-Do you have anything important?

-Yes.

A patrol officer

caught a man taking drugs in the park.

Looks like he's the guy caught on camera

in the first m*rder case.

During the crime

A camera captured someone

A resident on the ninth floor

named Chang Po-lun.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

-Instead of those

-Paris Strawberries.

I don't want any!

Huh?

Chang Po-lun, I'm talking to you.

Can you hear me?

I'm talking to you.

-How's it going?

-Chief.

I didn't know it was him.

I couldn't tell from the footage taken

at the Lungyin Building.

-So you know each other.

-His name is Chang Po-lun.

He was a drug dealer

who used to roll with Lin Hsiao-yuan.

Then he started working

for a guy called Blackie.

They use foreign migrant workers

to sell drugs

at stations and construction sites.

When I was undercover,

I saw him a lot.

Why don't you interrogate him?

Are you crazy?

I arrested Blackie.

-If he sees me, I'm screwed.

-Let go! I

-I don't know any

-Hey.

-I need some

-What? He's so out of it.

What are you afraid of?

Interrogate him, okay?

-Enjoy.

-Thank you.

This steak reminds me of another poem.

-Have you dined here before?

-Um, no.

-So this is your first time with me?

-Yes.

Sir, are you ready to order?

Steak. Make it quick.

-How do you want it done?

-Medium.

Okay, no problem.

Do you like it?

Tooth is off?

-Sure.

-Law?

Why'd you give me this?

Way more crap

meth?

WAY MORE CRAP METH, TOOTH IS OFF

Why did ya give me this?

Is it a reward for coming top in school?

You deserved to come top.

You gave me a drawing, right?

You know what they say,

"One good turn deserves another"

That drawing wasn't you

It was my goofball.

Roof full?

f*ck, what are they saying?

-What are you doing here?

-Didn't you have extra classes tonight?

Who's that?

Have you been stalking me?

I want to see if you're lying to me!

I'm treating a top student to dinner.

Is that a problem?

To a classy restaurant like this?

-Have you ever brought me here?

-Okay, sit down and eat.

Sit down and eat.

I don't want to.

Who's this crazy girl?

It's rude to barge in like this.

Could you please keep it down?

We have other guests.

Let me handle this.

Wait a moment. I'll explain later.

Do you mean her or me?

You! You wait a moment!

I'll wait a moment.

You said you were working

and not to disturb you.

-Turns out you're dating a student!

-Keep your voice down!

Do you want to ruin my reputation?

Come out. Come out.

I'll explain. Come with me.

-Come with me!

-Work overtime?

Why did you lie to me?

-What a scumbag!

-What a scumbag!

Damn, who are you?

Sir, your steak, medium rare.

So OTT.

She shouldn't bring her aggro here.

Aggro?

What's aggro?

Aggression.

Is she an ex student?

Did she get better grades than me?

She's my sister.

Are you shame mad?

You can't possibly have a godsister.

Saddo.

Do you like the food?

Yes.

It's alright.

Hey, next time, we can go for TSF.

-TSF?

-It's traditional street food.

-Traditional street food?

-Yes.

Didn't you say you like

pig's blood cake?

-Do you like Michelle or Ming-hsien?

-Mi what?

What is that?

Michelle is more refreshing.

Ming-hsian is thicker with bigger bits.

Surely you know this, sir?

GM has a few good places.

Hey, wanna go try some?

GM?

Do you mean Google Maps?

Yeah.

Your Chinese language grades are so good.

Why don't you speak properly?

Hey, sir, where are we going now?

Home. Where do you live?

In Houshan.

But that's a gastronomic desert.

Aren't we going to eat Ming-hsian?

I said we're going home!

Hey, f*ck. The paparazzi.

-Idiot.

-Get in the car!

What are you doing? You're hurting me!

What's going on?

There's no need for that! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Sir, slow down! I want to

Quiet! Shut up!

Sir, my phone is low on battery.

Do you have a power bank?

f*ck.

f*ck, bro, this is a sports car!

Pull over!

sh*t.

Police, get out.

Why are you driving so fast?

In a rush to k*ll someone?

You're the one who almost k*lled me.

You wait. I'm calling my lawyer.

You're coming with me.

Or you're taking me somewhere.

-Where?

-The police station. Get out.

Why would I go to the station with you?

You were speeding and tried to hit a cop.

Who says I tried to hit a cop?

You even kidnapped an innocent girl. Miss

Get out!

Hey, sir!

Hey!

Eat sh*t, you useless jerk!

Adversities in life

are like this spot on your face.

You don't like it, but it's already there.

You can only slowly

let time solve everything.

PLEASE WASH UP AFTERWARDS

What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you

to follow Hsieh Cheng-ta?

Didn't you say tomorrow?

Did I say tomorrow?

Yes.

Um, Captain,

I have some Japanese spot cream.

-Do you want some?

-No, thank you.

Captain, I went to the Examination Center.

Hsieh Cheng-ta took the exam in 2001,

so probably read Great Idioms Supplement.

Great Idioms Supplement?

Did you check? What's the next idiom?

Hey, what's up? I caught him.

I'm bringing him in now.

Officer.

Do you know what

"eyes obscured by a single leaf" means?
