Hey, are you okay?
My Wallet is gone
Checked your pockets?
Maybe you lost it someWhere?
I don't think so
So annoying...
HoW about this...
Take it
But I don't knoW you
So this is FATE
FATE?
See...
If you hadn't lost your Wallet
I Would never run into you here
Then We could never have met each other
So, this is all FATE
But if I turned
and left right this moment
We Would stay strangers
I think not
As for fate
When it starts
It Would not be interrupted
Unless When itself comes to an end
This is a game of fate
If you Were the one I am looking for
I Would ask you to take this bill...
And Write doWn
your name and number on it
When it finds its Way back someday
Then it is FATE
And then
I Will go looking for you
And you Will agree to be my girlfriend
SU MI MA SEN, LOVE
Sorry!
Sorry!
I am late! I am sorry
Chie... This is far out!
HoW could you be so late?
Sorry, it Won't happen again
No kidding!
The client Was pissed
What? I don't understand
I got yelled at!
Sorry
All right! Go get dressed!
Okay
What's her problem?
She hit the traffic on the Way here
Sorry
We don't have much time
We need only feW shots
Hurry up then. Right?
Let's get moving
It's not me delaying
Hello?
Hi Chie!
HoW are you?
What's up?
Last Week at Sinjuku station
I ran into your old flame!
And I heard he's getting married
His fiancee is an old square
Are you serious?
Are you all right?
Did I say something Wrong
Nah
I don't feel much about him anymore
Chie Hurry up!
Okay! One minute
Sorry. I'll call you later.
When are you coming back to Japan?
It's like
you don't care about us anymore
I hope you are not forgetting about us
Of course not
I miss you guys a lot
Really?
Chie Hurry up!
Okay! Right aWay!
Sorry.
I have to go! Talk to you later!
What's going on?
Sorry!
You don't seem to be in the mood
You seem upset
Happy?
Yes! Yes!
Okay! That's it for today
Okay! Thank you!
Thanks
Ah Chung!
Give a hand
Okay
The shots are dull
She looks tense
Her face is stiff too
Sorry
Perhaps We could
take a feW extras later?
We don't have time for that
Just pick something from here
What's her problem today!
She Was late
And totally not here during the shooting
I'm really sorry
It Would never happen again
What are you doing!
You sissy!
Sorry Are you trying to kill me!
Can't even carry a thing!
Ah Chung!
Ah Chung! Come over here!
Are you deaf?
Ah Chung!
What's your problem?
Sorry
Sorry!
What if someone got killed!
Would sorry mean anything?
I've told you so many times
Think before you do things
What?! Left your brain at home?
Or all you got is bronze?
No
Hello
HoW are you?
Okay. Yes, Thank you
I told you to do things With your head
You are just the same as your father
Daydreaming all the time
I do not knoW What's in your head
You are just useless
What does it have to do With my father?
What? You feel sorry?
You feel sorry for your father?
If you Want me
to stopping talking him doWn
Just stop doing these irritating stuffs
What are you talking about?
You knoW What I'm talking about!
Stop daydreaming
And think more of your responsibilities
Let me tell you
If daydreaming
Could feed our stomach
Your father Would have
come home as a millionaire!
You fool...
What are you doing?
You are not giving your best
Disappointing everyone
But...
This kind of stuff really drains me doWn
Repeating the same job day after day
It's really exhausting
HoW can you say that?
Isn't this your oWn choice?
You have got to Work harder
But...
Even if I gave my one hundred and tWenty
HoW'd I knoW if I'd make it and When
What are you talking about!
I believe you Will make it
Got that!
Give me a break
That's not the point
I just heard it last Week
HoW could it come so soon
Wrecking the house doWn
There are lot more details
to be discussed
It hasn't come to a final conclusion yet
Why are you here so early
Bad-mouthing here and that
Sneaking around in the neighborhood
What do you Want anyway?
HoW do I conduct business here?
I am here only to pay you a visit
You need not to Worry!
Don't Worry?
It's not Wrecking your house
I'm sure you are not Worried
Easy for you to say
No. It's not like that.
What I am trying to say is...
Enough! Stop the nonsense!
Save it for yourself!
Let me tell you... our association,
The organization and our professors
They do not agree With your proposal
It's meaningless for you
to come here today
Go back
It's not up to me to decide, you see
Chung, Where are you going?
Going out this early again?
This kid has no manners at all
Useless brat
Please...
You are Wasting your time
You are all useless
Just let me look around
That's enough.
Enough of this talking.
Enough.
Please...
No. That's it
Excuse me
Do you knoW Where I can find a taxi?
I'm sorry
but We just got back from abroad
We don't knoW much around here either
But I guess the taxi
should be over there
Maybe you can find some help there
Okay, I see
Thank you very much
This morning
I rushed out as usual
Took the distant route as usual
So I could enjoy the feeling
of riding against the Wind
And...
With the same expectation
That I'll run into you again today
Then...
Here With the same disappointment
I rushed...
To record these ups and doWns
Thanks
He is the one.
Your pre-destined Mr. Right
Good morning, Shark
Good morning, auntie
Did you see Wu Huai-Chung?
Nope
This kid... What is he doing
AIWays late for Work
But Why didn't you put the uniform on?
I Will later
Do you knoW something
Everyday in the past years
I've been Waiting in Kaohsiung Harbor
Hoping there is a vessel
Coming back With you on it
But this hope has never been fulfilled
HoWever, I had a feeling today
When I count to three
You Will shoW up next to me
One
TWo
Three
Scared you?
You Were late,
and noW you are daydreaming
I am not
What Were you looking at then?
Nothing
Get the film ready
Don't let the audience Wait
You are alWays late
There is no visitor noW
Do as I say!
Okay
It took me hours to get them in order!
I am so sorry
You are lucky it's me
If it Was the curator,
you'd be in big trouble
I apologize
Chie!
What have you been doing?!
Finally, you ansWered the phone
I'm sorry
I Was Watching a movie
You Were Watching a movie!?
And I got scolded in the office?
Come back to the office asap
I Want to talk With you about the Work
Wait
Isn't it my day off today?
Why am I going to the office?
You got the nerve to say that
If you didn't piss off
the client by being late
We Wouldn't have to Work today
And you are asking me Why?
I apologized already
Why are you bringing this up again
Besides
I'm not in Taipei right noW
What?!
I'm not in Taipei
Where are you then?!
Kaohsiung
What?! What are you doing in Kaohsiung?
You should've at least phoned in
Kaohsiung...
Please
Stop nagging, Would you?
Hey! I do care about you
That's very rude of you
Forget it!
You are alWays blattering
Not to do this, not to do that
Not to eat this nor that
You call this is caring?
Do you really care about What I feel?
HoW could you say that?
This is your fault
HoW do I become the guilty one?
Seriously,
What are you doing in Kaohsiung?
To take a break!
My schedule is alWays full
I think I deserve a break!
You are really something
Stop talking in Japanese
I don't Want to hear it
Nor do I understand a Word of it
You are relaxing yourself
And I got the blame
If you are not coming back today
Then I have no Way
to ansWer to the client
You don't have to come back at all!
Darn!
There's nothing I can do today
Gee! I got the message
I'm going back to Taipei tonight!
Okay! Later!
Huh? Isn't the film running?
Why...?
Why are they leaving?
Where has that brat gone...
Are you okay?
My Wallet is gone
Have you lost it someWhere?
Check again?
I don't think so
HoW about this...
Take this
But I don't knoW you
That is alright
This is FATE
FATE?
Write doWn your name and number on it
If one day...
This bill finds
its Way back in my hand...
Then it is FATE
When that day comes,
Will you agree to be my girlfriend?
Ha!
Excuse me
HoW much?
OK. Wait a minite.
That's $220
Okay
From $500
Here's $280
Thanks
HoW much, please?
Let me see...
$400, please
From $1,000
$600 is your change
Thanks
Will you hurry up!
Thank you, have a nice day!
Hello!
Please take a look
Is the name correct?
Yes
Hey!
The report is all yours
Be careful
Understood?
Yes, sir
Are you Japanese?
Yes
Do you speak Japanese?
A little bit
Remember the time and place
Where you lost it?
Sorry, I really don't remember
The last time you saW it Was...
In the morning When I Was on a taxi
Perhaps you lost it on the taxi?
You think?
I'm just saying if it is possible
Probably
What are the chances of
getting my Wallet back?
I Will make a phone call
to L&F for you
Okay
But...
The chances are slim
If it snoWs in Kaohsiung,
You Will find your Wallet back
Nah! He is just kidding With you
But you should phone the bank
To cancel you credit cards
Just to be careful
Okay, I Will
Be hurry! The boat is leaving
Hurry up!
Hurry
Come on! Hurry up! The boat is leaving!
HoW much?
It's $400
Have a good trip!
Have some tea
It's just ready
Please
We'll contact you When We found it
Is that okay With you?
Okay. Thank you
Well.
Thank you very much
Okay. Goodbye
Miss
Do you need any help?
No
Just that my Wallet is gone
Oh, your Wallet...
That's bad
Will you be okay With the taxi fare?
Yes! I am good
I still have tWo hundred dollars
That's good
It's good you have the money
Or else... a pretty girl like you
I may have to sell you for some cash
It's snoWing
SnoW? No
That's the seeds of cotton trees
Cotton tree?
That's right! Take a look
Those are the floWers of
cotton tree on the ground
Those are its seeds flying in the air
Does cotton tree die in spring?
No
It's not dying. It's getting reborn
Reborn?
Yes
Will these seeds survive?
They are all falling on the pavement
They Will!
You see
My car is bringing these seeds
They Will find their Ways...
To land on the right place...
To groW up
To become a cotton tree
Do you knoW What I mean?
I Wish...
I Would find a right place
And a right person for me
Of course you Will!
Didn't you just fly
from Japan to TaiWan?
So no Worries
You Will find it!
Trust me
Why are you here?
Why did you run aWay?
So that's What I Was saying
This is fate
Are you folloWing me?
YOU folloWed me here, did you?
I did not!
I Was alone When I got here
You didn't notice me When you came in
I Was here before you
Really?
Yes
Do you ever have this feeling?
You don't believe it or feel it...
But there is no choice,
the feeling of...
You're forced to accept everything
Whenever my girlfriend left me,
I got this feeling
I'm telling you
This feels like...
Taking a needle,
Jabbing into the heart
And you feel the painnnn...
Right to the middle finger
on your left hand
Do you knoW Why
it's the left middle finger?
According to some Kong-Fu masters
Left middle finger connects to the heart
That's Why When your heart aches
It Will hurt here too
There's another saying
Here
When some couple get married,
They'd Wear the ring
on the left middle finger
Because they believe
Wear it like that means
captured their hearts
Oh I see
Do you never feel like that?
Why should I tell you?
Because I have told you all my secrets!
Of course you should tell me all yours
You have never told me any secrets!
Of course I did,
When I say my heart aches
I feel like middle-fingering someone
But seriously
Why come all the Way
from Japan to Kaohsiung?
You don't look like
you are touring
What do I look like I'm here for then?
Well... it looks like you are...
Hey
FolloW me
Miss
Why'd you come from Japan to Kaohsiung?
My plan Was
Learning Mandarin in TaiWan
After that, I'd go back to Japan
But then
Who Would have thought
I Was chosen to be in a TaiWanese film
So here I'm in TaiWan as an actress noW
So you are shooting a film here?
We've finished the movie already
I'm taking a day off for myself
You don't look very relaxing
Really?
Yes
Why?
You look preoccupied
You are good
Because I'm a priest, you forgot?
Idiot
So... let me ask you
When you Were at Work
Why people got angry at you?
Because I Wasn't paying attention,
And not eager enough for Work
Do you not like Working there?
Of course I like it
You get to Watch movies
Do you like Watching movies?
Yes
I Wish one day I get to shoot a movie
Really?
Yes
Why do you Want to make movies?
Because you get to make Wishes
Wishes?
In one's life
There are a lot of Wrongs
That you can never redo it
But making movies
You get to live life
in different prospects
That's the feeling I Want
So do I
When finish filming,
it's almost like...
You lived anther life,
someone else's life
HoWever
I Would get upset sometimes
Because
I can't get back to be
myself in real life
So you are saying you don't like acting?
I love acting
Just that...
I don't like the feeling afterwards,
That I couldn't come back to be myself
That's When I get really upset
So noW I'm taking
a break here in Kaohsiung
HoW strange...
Huh?
What did you say?
I don't understand Why coming in here
I can tell you so much...
I believe it is these Walls
Feeling like you're
in your little fortress
By not facing each other
It Will be easier to say things...
You don't normally say
Walls...
Although We don't get to see each other
But knoWing
there's someone on other side
You feel...
Relaxed
Can I ask you something?
Yes
What type of guys do you like?
Why do you Want to knoW?
I'm just curious
I like...
A guy knoWs hoW to Wipe tears for a girl
KnoWs hoW to Wipe tears for a girl?
You don't seem to knoW hoW to do that
Okay, What about you?
What kind of girls do you like?
I like a girl...
Who can keep all my secrets
You have lots of secrets?
Everyone does
Otherwise there Will be
no one coming here
Then...
Can you tell me
some of your secrets?
It Wouldn't be secrets anymore
if I told you
Do you really Want to knoW?
Yes
Come closer
But you have to promise me
That you Would never tell
Sorry
Excuse us
Sorry!
I'm alWays thinking
What if one day, I met you...
What should I say to you
I have so many things I Want to tell you
But I am afraid...
I Will get tongue-tied When I see you
And I Won't be able to say anything
I Wonder...
If you have as much to share With me
What Would you say to me?
Are you making a Wish again?
Will you take my picture for me?
You sleeping?
Wake up, Wake up
Do you not see the boat is leaving?
Hey, do you have change?
I'll go get some food and drinks
Stop sleeping
Wake up Wake up
Hurry up and get it,

Let me listen to What's in your MP3
Your MP3
What have you got in there?
No Way
What?
What did you just say?
I kneW it
You Were talking behind my back?
I am not telling
So stingy
I don't get it
Stingy! Stingy!
I don't get it!
Stupid!
You just called me stupid, right?
I get that one
Stupid!
What's Wrong?
I Was thinking to take you on a cruise
Really?
Yes
But it's closed early today?
What a pity
Never mind
We'll go some place else
Really?
Great!
What is this place?
A special place
AWesome!
I'll get something to drink
Whenever I see the ocean
I feel like going back to Japan
HoW long have you been aWay from home?
Almost a year, I think
You knoW What
I Want to be a success so much
I really Want to be a successful actress
Because...
If I didn't make myself
seen on acting here
My families...
And friends
They Will be very disappointed
At that time...
When they kneW
I Was coming to TaiWan to be an actress
They all backed me up
You Will make it
Look over there
When I Was five
My dad and my grandfather had a fight
One day in the early morning
He took on a vessel and left...
Never come back since
Why?
Our family business
is selling boat parts
We dismantle everything
from vessels, boats
Fix them and re-sell them
My granddad did Well
on the business
So he Wished that
my dad and my uncle...
Would take over the family business
But my father only Wants to be a sailor
He Wants to cruise around
And see the World outside
My grandfather Would not approve of that
Then they had fights
So do you knoW
Where he is right noW?
Heard that the vessel
had sunk in an accident
Some other said
He had settled doWn overseas
So you have no idea...
If he Would ever come back?
If he's still alive
He Will come back one day
I believe
One day
He Will get to see the movie you make
Are you alright?
Our house is going to be Wrecked doWn
Even if he came back
I don't knoW Whether he could find me
Your house Will be Wrecked doWn?
Our home Would be nothing but a laWn
Should not be long...
Everyone Will move aWay
Well...
You...
Where are you moving to?
Don't knoW that either
As the night groWs darker...
The girl finds herself lingering
It's so beautiful
And so high
Look!
Tiny little people doWn there
Yes
I feel sorry...
That you have to
pay for everything today
Nah
If you hadn't lost your Wallet
I Would not have
the chance to treat you
Besides
Who knoWs When Would be the next time
I could have the chance to treat you
You sure you are leaving tonight?
Yes
I got job tomorroW
But Weren't you saying
You feel upset?
HoW about stay for a feW days more?
I'm feeling better noW
Thank you for the lovely day
If I had not met you
Maybe...
I Would definitely be...
Feeling much more upset
So you should stay
I could keep you company
a feW days more
You could call in sick
Or
You...
You are looking for someone
Who can keep your secrets
You can be the one
Do you remember?
When I Was little...
You read bed-time stories to me
Everyday
And then...
When I closed my eyes
You Would count to three
And ask me if I fell asleep
I Would ansWer With my eyes closed
"Yes, I did"
Do you remember?
The night you left
You sneaked to my bed
And told me...
When I groW up
You Would take me
travelling around the World
Do you remember?
I Would alWays be here at this Harbor
Wishing that some day...
There Will be a boat, bringing you back
HoWever
You are still out there,
selfishly, Without me
And for me...
There's nothing else I could do
But to Wait here
Staring at the endless ocean
Thinking...
Perhaps some day
It Would bring me some neWs of hope
But of course
For most of the time
I am here alone
Waiting and staring
Feeling disappointed again and again
But today
I have this feeling
When I count to three
You Would shoW up next to me
One
TWo
Three
Hey
Let's...
Each takes an elevator
Okay?
Why?
You go first
This is it then
I have gotten used to talking to myself
If love can be elevated
Then let it evaporate With tears
I Want to catch up With you
The hastened paces of the summer
But I turned and realized that
You and I are already
at tWo ends of the World
I thought
You are just leaving for a While
Smile
Means that you Will look back
Maybe
This is just a fantasy I dreamt of
While I Was aWake
I still often think of
That afternoon When We briefly met
HoW I Want to revieW
The strange yet familiar streets
The seasons Will change
FeW hearts Will Wither along
Maybe I have to let go
To be able to hold on
to you in my memories
But I still believe
If
If
If
That day I had stay behind
Perhaps
Maybe
I really should go noW
Can't you stay?
Thank you
I had a great time today
Please stay a bit longer?
Today
You shoWed me
So many beautiful places
So many lovely people
I am so touched
I feel grateful and blessed
Truly
I Want to tell you...
I am noW believing in FATE
So
You've got to believe too!
Wait a second
Jong!
Show me all the $500 bills you have
$500 bills?
I don't have any $500 bills here
HoW Would that be possible?
What do you Want?
What the hell are you doing?!
Get out of here!
Stop that! Get out!
Get out!
Stop that!
Are you mad?!
What are you doing?
Get out
You don't have to Worry
That bill
Will definitely come back to you someday
And
I knoW
One day
You Will take that bill
And found me
Until that day
I Will ask you to be my leading actress
Hey
My name is Wu, Huai-Chung
My name is Chie Tanaka
Nice to meet you!
I Wish one day
the bill'd come back to me
Wu, Huai-Chung
What Would become of us
after 10 years?
Looking forward to the day We meet!
Wishing our dreams Will all come true!
Chie Tanaka
