Metro of Love (Tai Bei Ai Qing Jie Yun Gu Shi / 台北愛情捷運故事)

In 1990, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was the most popular movie in the theaters.

At that time, as long as a theater was profitable, it'd inevitably be set on fire.

This one's been burned twice.

It's really like the land is so charming

that causes many heroes to die for it.

I'm just finding shelter here.

A well-to-do wanderer who likes to throw his money around...

You're crazy.

But of course,

that kind of character might win you awards but won't earn you any money. Unless...

a final boss appears at the right time to make him the hero.

I won't even give you a single cent.

I've reserved a house in the unique mansions in Ximending.

I'm gathering up the down payment.

Yours is the only one left.

So please don't disappear on me

or else I'll just have to look for her or her mother...

or it'll be your girl and her friend.

I just don't believe that you alone

can save all of Ximending.

Little girl.

Have you heard of Lang Fonghua?

At that time, many young girls imitated Lang Fonghua's way of speaking.

Don't touch her.

Metro of Love The Mad King of Taipei Town (West Side Story) Episode 3

Stand here, don't worry. Just move to the side.

You hold him. Hold him.

Okay, okay.

Enough, enough.

Everyone stay calm. We just had an earthquake.

Move towards the pillars, stand to the side.

The underground structure is very stable.

Don't worry, don't panic.

Hey, Ximen!

Ximen. - Hold him well first.

What's going on?

You see, Xiao Hu. Whenever there is an earthquake, he becomes like this.

Hello, Ximen Qing.

How do you know how to sing that song?

My mom taught me.

Is this your family?

How long have you not seen each other?

Let's talk about it.

You may feel better if you talk about it.

Do you know or don't know?

Why do you trample on other's care for you?

You're the one that butt in when I was living just fine on my own.

Life has always been tough.

No matter how tough it is, you still have to live it.

Otherwise, when the earthquake comes, let it bury us all.

Do you know what you're saying?

Do you know what you're saying?

September 21, 1999,

that was the last time I saw them.

My wife Xiaoru

liked to wear white dresses

and she liked to come to Ximending to watch movies.

My daughter Meile

was five at the time.

She liked to listen to stories

and every night,

she would only go to bed after I told her a story

That day,

I had to go out to meet with clients.

They were waiting for me at home.

Who knew that I just left the house and it started to shake vigorously.

I had nothing left... nothing left but money!

You are stupid!

Your eyes only see money. Your eyes only see money.

Your eyes only see money. Your eyes only see money.

You only know how to hate and you have your mother beside you.

You're so selfish.

After your father left, I had nothing.

I had nothing left.

Are you still not done? - Almost.

Almost.

What do you want for dinner tonight? - Mcdonalds.

Why do you want Mcdonalds?

Because there's ice cream!

Did I say I would buy ice cream for you?

Qing.

Good thing you ran into me today

Thank you! - Thank you, thank you! - Thank you.

Thank you -Thank you, come again!

This is so great.

Big Sis. - Big Sis.

What are you guys doing?

What's wrong?

Why is no one talking?

Big Brother left.

Do you understand?

At the end of one's life

it's like an actor

going on and off the stage .

I've hit a dead end.

It was hard to watch

but Ximen Ding,

he took on all of our burdens and struggles .

I still want to sing. I still want to listen.

Aww...

Yeah, that's right,

the hero always finds motivation when the righteous character dies early on.

Hey...

White Suit.

The perfect symbol. Perfect.

Who has seen Ximen Qing?

Why are you looking for him?

Because I told him that if he disappeared on me, I'd come looking for you.

You're a scumbag.

Huh?

Can't you see that we're all mourning right now? Yet, you shamelessly come and ask for money.

Do we look easy to you?

How hard could it be?

Listen up. This is reality.

If someone doesn't like it and wants to back her up, speak up. Anyone?

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Hey Xiao Hu! Wow, with all these guys in black,

doesn't this look just like the movies?

The Matrix.

That's right. We make it look like we're filming a movie.

It can't be that all these people are hired by you to be temporary actors, right?

Hey, you aren't really the temporary actors, are you?

That's right. He told us to come here to film that... "Hero Pork Chop."

Till now, we don't even know who to report to.

Yeah! I want to be a movie star!

Why do you laugh? - This is too...

Take her away. - Ah Yang,

you say you're a boss in a film company.

I think you're a nobody.

You took some money from someone to burn down your boss' theater thirty years ago.

So you were put into the jail. Then what happened after you were released?

Wow. You dare do this kind of stuff?

You should be thankful.

If it wasn't me begging mercy for you,

Boss Chou would have sent someone to break your foot ligaments.

Old Sis Ah Er? - That's me.

Boss, I'm quite an actor. - Are we leaving?

Excuse me!

Hello, Xiao Hu. The police have found Ximen Qing. Hello?

Hello? Xiao Hu?

Ximen Qing.

The money he tossed around is the government's compensation to him.

On the day of the 911 earthquake, he was buried on the first floor for several hours.
