Days of Being Wild Page #3

Synopsis: Set in 1960, the film centres on the young, boyishly handsome Yuddy, who learns from the drunken ex-prostitute who raised him that she is not his real mother. Hoping to hold onto him, she refuses to divulge the name of his real birth mother. The revelation shakes Yuddy to his very core, unleashing a cascade of conflicting emotions. Two women have the bad luck to fall for Yuddy. One is a quiet lass named Su Lizhen who works at a sports arena, while the other is a glitzy showgirl named Mimi. Perhaps due to his unresolved Oedipal issues, he passively lets the two compete for him, unable or unwilling to make a choice. As Lizhen slowly confides her frustration to a cop named Tide, he falls for her. The same is true for Yuddy's friend Zeb, who falls for Mimi. Later, Yuddy learns of his birth mother's whereabouts and heads out to the Philippines.

I'm leaving now,

I have to go to work

So late at night?

What kind of job?

I am working in the SCAA

There's games holding tonight,

I've to work in the box office

Then I can have free ticket

for football match

I like football match before,

but now, I'm busy

If you want to see

any game in future,

just come to me

Then thanks a lot

Bye

Can we chat?

I can't help you about

your boyfriend

I just want to chat

You got no friends?

I don't want others to know it

Then how about me?

If I don't...

If I don't say it out,

I'm afraid that I'd be mad

I thought that I would be OK

I always tell myself

Don't tell others that

you are unhappy

Work hard

Go home and sleep earlier

I want to go home!

But my home is in Macao

I don't know how to

kill these nights

I can't sleep

I don't mean to come back

I promise myself that

I wouldn't go back anymore

I'll hate myself if I go back again

I don't want to hate myself

Help me please

You can't be like this still

I will be OK by getting

through this night

You are cheating yourself

by saying this only

How did you pass last night?

If you had passed last night,

you wouldn't have been here

You should make up your mind

If you really can't live without him,

...why don't you tell him?

If not, pretend not

knowing this guy

from this very minute

Don't mention "this very minute"

I always think that a minute

can pass very fast

But sometimes it takes long

One day, one pointed at

his watch and told me,

...he would remember me

forever for that very minute

It was very pleasant to me

But now when I look at the watch,

...l will tell myself,

...l have to forget that guy

from that very minute

When I was young in Macao,

I dreamed to ride on a tram

Whenever my cousin returned

from Hong Kong

I would ask her when would

she take me to HK

Your cousin is from Hong Kong?

No, but she studied in

HK when young

She is great,

she got a job in an office

just after graduation

And her boyfriend is

smart as well

She is going to get married soon

Not everyone will be

in good luck

Don't compare with others

I didn't think that

I was poor before

Till I found out that

I didn't have a new uniform every year

But my classmates all had new ones

At that moment,

I realised that I was poor

What make you to be a police then?

I wanted to be a sailor

But my mother's health

was not so good

And there was no others at home

So I had to stay over to

take care of her

Don't you think it's bored

walking around all the night?

I don't think so

I'm tired, I want to go

home now

If there are anyone

who can talk to,

...come to me

But I don't want to interfere

your working hours

You can phone me then
