The Hole (Dong)

The government is going to call off all garbage runs.

We are being driven out of this place.

This is not fair to the people who live here.

If the epidemic is really prevailing in this area...

they should have done something a long time ago...

but they didn't do a thing about it. They didn't try to protect us.

Now look at us. The disease is wide-spread and everyone is sick.

Now they want us to move into tents and schools like refugees.

Why should I cooperate with them?

With no prevention, the epidemic will break out.

THE HOLE

What if we were carrying the virus?

You can't just move us anywhere you want to.

Some people have lived here for generations.

The government can't make us leave our homes.

A TSAI MING-LIANG FILM

I'll just dump my rubbish anywhere. To hell with our government.

I'll dump my garbage where I can't see it, or somewhere other people can't see it.

Or I'll just put them wherever other people put them...

They should burn us all,

together with the garbage!

Taiwan's Health Administration...

has issued a statement...

in response to sharp criticism from WHO.

Though we haven't been able to identify the name of this epidemic or its origin,

we are very confident that we can take care of it in the shortest time.

The Water Company also announced...

that starting in the year 2000...

it will cut off the water supply to all quarantine zones.

And now here's our report.

"After thorough consideration, We have come to this painful decision."

"In compliance with the government's all-out evacuation"

"this company will cut off all water supplies to quarantine zones..."

"starting midnight, January 1st, 2000."

"Or those who still live in the quarantine zone, please leave."

"Do not hesitate."

"It would be foolish to assume..."

"one can live on rainwater."

"It is impossible."

Seven days to go now...

until the year 2000.

Excuse me. Are there any leaks in here?

Nope.

There's a bad leak downstairs. One wall is dripping wet.

They asked me to check around. Can I have a look inside?

But there's no problem here.

There could be a busted pipe still.

I really need to have a look. Just a peek.

Thanks.

Sorry for the bother.

Don't water your plants with tap water.

Let it sit in a container for 2 or 3 days.

The take surface water only, using a bowl,

to water your plants with it.

But what about drinking water?

Some families don't have a water purifier.

In the past, they used to boil the water...

for 3 to 5 minutes...

to get rid of chlorine or nitrogen.

The only thing is that you have to finish the water in two or three days.

How about the pipes? The pipes...

In the area of Shihlin this afternoon...

a man was found hiding under his bed for 8 hours.

Chang Gung Hospital, where he was later admitted,

has confirmed he is the latest victim of this end-of-the-millennium virus,

following two reported outbreaks in both the Hsimen and Wanhwa areas.

Panic is rising in the Shihlin area.

The government is watching the situation closely.

More details in our midnight report.

And now we'll introduce you to the fine culinary art of instant noodles!

Our first dish. Instant noodles with pickles.

The ingredients are simple.

Let's choose our pickles. If you have Korean style pickles at home...

it will be perfect.

If you don't like the spicy Korean pickles, Chinese pickles work just as well.

Other then pickles, we also need packs of instant noodles.

Our packs if it's a dinner for four, one if you're cooking for yourself!

What kind of noodle? Any kind!

It can be with bean sauce,

beef, pork paste, herbs and ribs... as you like it!

Be it "Mei-Mei," "Wantze," or "President."

Any brand will do.

Enough talk,

Miss Spice Girl starts cooking now!

And now we'll boil the water.

I know you can manage that! Get yourself a pot and just add water.

As I told you before,

let the water boil for at least 10 minutes,

or it'll give you diarrhea.

We don't want that, do we?

So remember what Miss Spice Girl said.

At least 10 minutes!

Okay, pour the water into the pot. That should do.

That's enough for one pack of noodles.

A large bowl of water.

Bring it to a boil for 10 minutes,

and cook for 3 minutes maximum.

Or al dente, 2 minutes will do...

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

I hop, I jump, I love the Calypso!

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

Don't tell me I'll get tired of it

Twist and turn, let's all do the Calypso!

I strut like a proud and handsome rooster

Arms flapping, chin up, everyone shout hooray!

I move one step forward and one step back

I twist and I turn with endless pleasure

I really don't need to pour my heart out

I just follow the drum and find the right beat

To forget my hard day of endless labors

Nights are made for sweet and carefree joy...

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

I hop, I jump, I love the Calypso!

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

Don't tell me I'll get tired of it

Twist and turn, let's all do the Calypso!

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

I hop, I jump, I love the Calypso!

Oh Calypso, Oh Calypso

Don't tell me I'll get tired of it

Twist and turn, let's all do the Calypso!

Don't tell me I'll get tired of it

Twist and turn, let's all do the Calypso!

Don't tell me I'll get tired of it

Twist and turn, let's all do the Calypso!

Kitty.

Kitty!

Kitty.

Can I help you, sir?

Do you have this kind of bean sauce?

This brand was discontinued long time ago.

We have the same thing but only in different brand.
