Old Boy (Lao Nan Hai / 老男孩)

Don't keep things bottled up inside.

If you miss your mom, do it openly.

See that bookshelf over there? There's space, isn't there?

Find a photo of your mom and place it there tomorrow.

You can look at her when you miss her.

Why are you looking at me? You want to thank me?

Forget it. I'm doing this for your mom.

I'm not like your other dad, waiting upon you every day.

You'll start from zero here.

You can start learning what you don't know how to do.

I know you've never done chores before.

You had a bunch of people spoiling you and serving you.

Take your time learning. I'm willing to wait.

Your first task today

is to wash the dishes after you eat.

All right, stop crying. Eat.

Doesn't it taste good?

Come again.

That was so loud.

Who was that?

Wu! Wu!

Wu, you're not dead, are you? Say something!

Stop shouting! I'm not dead!

Are you crazy? Why weren't you answering? You scared me!

Xiao Han, I usually treat you pretty good.

You treat me well but you don't treat the bed well.

I don't treat the bed well?

You climb up and down so many times each day! No bed could withstand that!

You blame me when there's a problem?

Didn't I tell you the screws weren't right?

You wouldn't listen and just had to jerry-rig it.

Oh no, oh no!

What's wrong?

Find a bandage for me quickly!

Help me out first.

Lift up the bed.

Hurry up!

Higher, a bit higher.

Are you out yet?

Hurry, hurry! I can't anymore!

Bandage, bandage.

- Hurry up and find one. - It's nothing.

Oh no.

My leg was just healed. How am I going to play basketball now?

I'm done for.

Captain Zheng.

What took you so long to answer the phone?

Oh, just now...

Bandage!

I was in the bathroom. Sorry, I didn't hear the phone.

What is it, Captain Zheng?

Nothing much. I just wanted to ask how the writing is coming along.

Is the lecture coming together?

Listen, if you have any difficulties, tell me in advance so I can be prepared.

I wouldn't make light of a task you assign me.

I've been staying up every night working on it.

When you say that, why do I feel even less reassured?

How's this? Come to the office and I'll supervise you.

That's not necessary, Captain.

Do you have doubts about my professionalism or my writing?

I'm afraid it's too much work for you

so I'll provide support and do research for you.

Captain Zheng, there's really no need to trouble you with that.

I can promise you quality and quantity.

You just have to remember what we agreed on.

I'll hand the lecture materials to you

and you'll let me return to the air earlier

and lift the ban.

All right, that's all then.

Xiao Han?

Xiao Han?

That brat.

How's it going? Are you getting along with your son?

Want me to come check on you?

Are you back from the countryside?

Go home and rest. Don't come over.

I brought some food for your son. I'll bring it over later.

Who are you to him? Why do you want to see him so badly? I'm busy.

What are you busy with?

Other than the retired old men and women, you're the one I envy the most.

I'm coming over to see how you and your son are doing.

I really am busy!

Wait for me. See you later.

How annoying.

Xiao Han.

Come, I'll give you a ride home and get this home visit done.

Sorry, Miss, I have plans already.

Your leg is injured again and basketball training is on hold.

What plans do you have?

Our band already made plans to practice today.

Besides, a home visit is just a talk between the teacher and parent.

What do I need to be there for?

You told your dad already?

Okay. It'll be fine as long as he's prepared.

Of course I did. He's not just prepared.

I can't wait to see who will win this duel.

What do you mean?

You'll see.

He's a lawyer?

Okay, let's get going or else we won't finish.

- Bye, Miss. - Okay, bye.

Duel?

Wait, let's-- Short Legs, hold up!

Were you calling me?

Yes.

Is something wrong with your eyes?

How are my legs short?

You don't just have short legs. You're also unreasonable.

You scraped my car and you want to run?

Wait, aren't you that person?

Who am I? I don't know you. Don't try to claim a connection.

You scraped my car. Shouldn't you pay for that?

Is this how you teachers teach students?

I scraped your car?

Are you also hurt?

Leg injured?

Do you need to go to the hospital for tests

and then get a psychiatric evaluation?

What kind of trap are you laying?

I've seen plenty of schemes like yours.

You're a scammer. Is extortion up next?

There are plenty of your kind on the streets.

This is the first I've seen of your kind though. Very interesting.

Forget it.

I have important things to do so I won't bother with you.

If I really did damage your car

we'll take it to our insurance and get repairs as necessary.

I have things to do.

End of conversation.

Lin Xiao Ou?

It's not like I'm not paying. Why are you following me?

I'm going the same way.

You're looking for someone and I'm visiting a friend.

Wait, you really don't remember me?

If you keep following me, I'll call the police.

We met at the police station.

Am I that easily forgotten?

You still followed me up here?

Please. This is my second home.

Are you looking for Xiao Han or Xiao Han's dad?

I told you we've met before.

You went to the police station late at night to pick up Xiao Han.

Don't tell me Xiao Han's dad is...

that person.

You have a guest.

You came to see me yesterday. Why didn't you tell me you're Xiao Han's dad?

Why should I tell you?

Don't you think it's best if we have minimal contact?

No wonder Xiao Han has been so rebellious lately.

One takes on the color of one's company.

You're an accomplice!

You finally remember me?

I also remember now.

Here's a lifesaving piece of advice.

Stay far away from her. She has a terrible personality.

She's always measuring others with her own yardstick.

You have the terrible personality.

You two have been at each other's throats from Australia to China.

Now, one of you is a teacher, and the other is a student's parent.

What kind of fate would you call this?

An ill fate.

If there's nothing else, then--

Let's see how the story plays out.

Welcome in.

This is my house!

I told you I'm busy. Why did you bring her here?

I'm just concerned about Xiao Han.

What happened to your place? Was it bombed?

It's all because of you. You brought me all this trouble.

Your life is this way by your own doing.

My life used to be great.

Ever since meeting this teacher and kid, it's been the pits.

As an airline captain, you must have decent living conditions.

How could you provide such awful sleeping arrangements for your son?

If you came to discuss how I live, then forgive me for not playing along.

The door is over there. See yourself out.

As Xiao Han's homeroom teacher, I have an obligation to conduct home visits

and you have an obligation to welcome me.

I'll leave when I finish what I have to say.

Xiao Han was such an outstanding student.

After just a few days with you

he's been late to school, not focusing in class

he's missed turning in homework, and his grades are slipping.

Isn't this due to your influence?

You're right. I've only been with Xiao Han for a few days.

You've been with Xiao Han much longer. You teach him every day.

His teachers are setting a bad example.

The quality of our nation's educational system is worrying!

You sure can run your mouth.

You're arrogant and conceited. You even expelled a passenger off the plane.

If all our nation's airlines employed captains like you

they'd be out of business!

How I teach Xiao Han is none of your concern.

You're clearly overreaching your authority.

Now you admit it's a family matter?

I heard you ran off to the countryside to hide from Xiao Han.

That really sounds like something you'd do.

Shi Fei, get the door. I'm busy having words with Ms. Lin.

Okay, let's talk about professionalism.

You're a teacher and this is how Xiao Han has turned out.
