The first 200 lines.
100 years ago, this island in Taiwan...
...had nothing
Only romance
Legend has it
There were two lovers
And one day, the man was fishing
His boat sank
The woman saw it onshore
She swam out
No one ever saw them again
Some say they became dolphins
All dolphins around this island...
...came from them
And...
They all make "Bu...Bu" noises
Nice story?
So snooty
You told a horror story
Don't get involved
Have some melon
No
You're like those dolphins
So picky
You named me Bu
I've told you so often
Don't mix Mandarin with Cantonese
Bu's Mandarin and Cantonese...
are now both accented
That's awful
You teach her Mandarin then
Get off my case
That's Mandarin again
Which I don't speak
What did you say?
Tell me!
"Skipper Restaurant"
"Strangers are not, gather around"
"Drink, toast a glass of wine"
Open bar, folks
One more round
One more round
Not tonight
Can't afford it
On the house!
Bu, 6 beers, on me
They come everyday
Never pay
Add water to the beer
That trick again?
- Bu - Yes?
Hurry
Here
Bu, did you add water?
No
Great
C'mon
Cheers
Cheers!
Why, Bu?
You could've spared me
They sing
Watch TV
Or pick fights
This island
Has no room...
for romance
Done
Beautiful!
I learned it from a magazine
Bu
I brought you something
I've never seen...
an oyster this big
Any pearls?
No.
Must be expensive
NT $3,000
Thanks
And this
It's my friend's shop
He'll give us a discount
I'm...
Proposing?
No, I just want to...
Yes, I'm proposing
With a big oyster?
Of course not
The oyster's not...
Marry me
Okay
I'll consider it
Poor Longyi
This oyster's not cheap
He proposed to me
Really?
You love him?
Well, he's actually...
Not bad
Your answer
Shouldn't be over 4 words
You love him, or you don't
You left Hong Kong to marry dad, why?
He was quite a hunk
A good cook too
You're a good cook
He's better
He cooks with love
What's loving someone like?
You miss him
The sight of him thrills you
You ache
When he's gone
You could watch him forever
Even when he's sleeping
You're in love
If you feel like that
Okay
You miss Hong Kong?
Yes, especially its Chinese pot rice
I see
You don't love Longyi
Take mama's advice
Trust your heart
Do what you have to do
Bu
Hey, kid
Got some news
Longyi proposed
Don't laugh!
Somebody said
Men and women...
exist in pairs
Till separated on earth
Then they go through life
Searching for one another
Bu...
Where are you going?
Bu!
"I'm waiting for you!"
I'm waiting for you!
Hong Kong, Albert?
How romantic!
"You and I are not meant for each other"
"Maybe we should call it quits"
"The wind outside is cold but lonely"
You're telling me something?
You choose for me
You just decided my future
Excuse me...
You know a good cafe?
Thanks
Typical Taiwanese!
Pardon me?
You speak Cantonese?
Surprised?
Never flown before?
It shows?
Yes
You can get lost in Hong Kong
I'll show you around
I know...all the trendy spots
I've fans everywhere
I'm a fun guy
Okay?
What?
Are you twins?
Please forgive me
Excuse me
"Gangster's girlfriend disappears"
Morning, sir, working out?
No time
Bill, are you ready?
Good
Let's start
Morning, Mr. Chan
Any news from Wall Street?
Lion Fund is borrowing heavily
Even at a 20% interbank rate
Check the following
How many Nikkei Futures did they short?
Is the Yen appreciating?
Is the lease for the US base in Japan expiring?
If both answers are affirmative
Buy whatever they sell
But this hedge fund
is run by 2 Nobel Prize economists
Should be invincible
They're too greedy
on margin trading
Leveraging 10 times their worth. They're doomed
So go ahead
Yes, Mr. Chan
Thank you
Send this with 100 roses to Carman
During office hours
Didn't you break up?
We're still friends
Fine someone and settle down
Like who?
Those women around you
