The Sadness (哭悲)

Morning.

How come you always wake up just before my alarm goes off?

I'm your real alarm clock.

Can you take the morning off?

No… I have a meeting this morning that I can't miss.

Come on, get up.

We have our trip next week anyway.

What?

We are going to Kenting.

Next... next week?

Didn't we talk about going to Kenting next week?

Shit... shit...

Oh... I was gonna talk to you about that today.

Barry wants me to help on a shoot.

When?

Next week.

They don’t know the date yet. It depends on the weather.

Hey, it's a German ad agency

...and the money’s pretty good.

It wasn't easy for me to book the week off.

You know I only get 10 vacation days a year, right?

I'm sorry...

I just... kind of need this job.

I haven't been getting many work opportunities these days.

When was the last time we had a trip together?

I want to relax in the fresh air... I want to get a tan.

Get a tan? ...The roof! you can go to the roof!

Kat, I'm sorry.

I'm an idiot.

My client base is tiny, I have to take what I can get.

I’ll talk to Barry and work it out, ok?

Do you wanna take the baozi from last night for your lunch?

You can have it.

Thanks, babe.

Doctor, I really need to understand...

...and I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone listening as well...

Why do you and the rest of the medical community

continue to promote fear of the Alvin virus.

OK, so the situation is like this:

Most the people believe that the Alvin virus...

is no more serious than a mild case of the flu.

Right.

...But experts are terrified of the mutation potential of Alvin

for a very simple reason. Let me show you.

Take a look.

There are dormant protein chains in Alvin

that are very clearly from the lyssa order of viruses.

That’s the same order that rabies is a part of.

Doctor...

I...

Doctor!

I'm worried that maybe one day...

Doctor! Let me speak!

No!

I'm concerned...

You said that already!

And I've heard it.

There have been zero deaths, so why the scare tactics?

And I find it very convenient that Alvin just happened to show-up

during an election year.

I'll emphasize this again

Our society must take this outbreak seriously.

To politicize a virus is a terrible mistake!

Alvin continues to be a very real threat to public health...

And it doesn't care who the president is.

Hey!

Are you alright?

You ready?

Did you see that?

What?

Can't you put trash in the bin?

Hey, Jim. Good morning!

Good morning. Mr. Lin.

Hey, are you alright?

Huh?

What's wrong? This is just a cold.

You should go to the hospital.

Hospital? Nah, I’m done with waiting in hospitals.

Besides, doctors always say the same thing:

"Stay home, get some rest."

That's not a hard thing to say...

I could probably be a doctor.

And all that stuff on the news...

...the pandemic, the virus... it's a hoax.

All those low-lives that own the media companies...

are blowing this out of proportion to drive down stock prices.

...So they can buy low, and sell high when the economy bounces back.

Is that true?

Sure is. Wanna bet?

Well... That’s what I would do if I had the money.

Anyways, I have too much of this Thai basil.

I’ll give you some later.

That's great. Thanks, Mr. Lin.

Don’t mention it.

Kat, what time is it?

Almost 8:30.

Mr. Lin.

Bye.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I shouldn't have slowed down.

Sorry.

It's alright.

I'll make dinner tonight, ok?

Yay! What are you making?

Dunno yet. ...Something with Thai basil.

I promise you'll love it.

Cool

See you later.

What would you like to have?

Hmm...

I want... an egg roll with fried pork

Got it.

OK.

And a large cup of milk tea.

So, pork egg roll, and a large milk tea, right?

Right.

For here or to go?

For here.

OK.

Thanks.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning.

You want the usual?

No, I just ate...

I’m just gonna have a medium black coffee

To go.

Thanks.

You got it. I just need to fill this lady’s order.

OK

(Valued apartments recommended in Taipei City)

The pandemic is affecting the real estate market...

Properties are cheaper than they were last year.

Granny.

Are you alright?

Handsome boy!

That bitch came outta nowhere!

Civil Emergency.

Stay tuned for urgent information.

Good morning everyone.

Pay attention to the following message.

There are some new rules for everyone.

All men must report to the district office.

I'll cut all your dicks off and feed them to stray dogs.

And for the ladies...

They'll be fucked by dogs in the street.

Is that clear? This is your new life...

"Baby, are you alright?"

”Where are you right now?"

“People are going crazy. Hurting each other.”

"Don’t come back here... I’ll go to you."

Mr. Lin?

What the fuck?

Hi neighbor!

Nice morning isn't it?

Don't worry...

about your girl...

I'll finger her for you.

Good morning

Good morning

What are you reading?

Just... just a novel.

I can see that you're focused on that.

No one reads books on the train anymore

They all focus on their phones.

Yeah...

True.

What’s it about?

Sir, I appreciate you trying to be friendly

but I really just want to focus on my book right now.

Sure... sure... of course...

You would like to focus on reading. I get it.

Hey...

I actually see you on the train pretty often...

So...

I thought that today...

I'd... Finally tell you.

That...

I think you are... really beautiful.

Thanks.

Hey, where do you work?

Are you finished?

I already asked you to leave me alone.

Do you want me to charge you with sexual harassment?

I'm going to bring this to police if you don't shut up.

What's wrong with people nowadays?

Having a conversation on the train, is this a crime now?

I'm only trying to communicate, to be social

and now I'm accused for sexual harassment?

I was polite too!

And I gave compliments!

Sexual harassment?

Women these days are all the same.

Thinking they can be rude just because they're pretty.

What has happened to this country?

I deserve better than this.

Please take my seat.

Thank you.

What’s happening?
