This is the silence I miss most.

So much that I've forgotten

how it sounds.

Pascal...

Pascal...

He's not gonna make it.

A long time ago, during the night,

There was a man riding a bike

along the lake of Fluelen.

He had been lost

in the dark for 18 years,

Trying to find his way home,

but no one could help him.

One night while the moon

was shinning brightly,

A silvery road appeared

along the lakeside leading him home.

His family realized that he had returned.

He waved to say his last goodbye,

And was gone before

the birds started to sing.

- Food delivery.

- Finally...

- How much is it?

- 22 dollars.

- Keep the change.

- Thanks.

- Wonton noodles to go.

- Okay.

What took you so long?

Those are for around the block.

Hey, Ricky.

Get me 2 bottles of soy sauce.

Here you go.

That guy ahead

That foreigner

Excuse me, Sir.

Your ID, please?

Do you have one?

You should shout out for help.

People around will help you.

And the police will stop him...

Say something!

Hurry up! I have to go back to bed.

Come on, the traffic light is changing...

I'm going back.

You sure you know

how to replace your ID?

Got any luck?

- Nothing.

- Sh*t, what happened?

I almost got caught.

What's this?

Alright, it's getting cold, put on a coat.

I'll call you...

Hold on, he just got back,

want to talk to him?

- Who is it?

- Your mom, of course.

Hi, mom.

Just got back from work.

I've eaten.

I was showing my client

how to buy stocks.

How's your waist? Any better?

Have you seen a doctor?

What did he say?

Why don't you go to the hospital

in the city?

They have better equipment.

Take care of yourself.

Bye.

I think she is seriously sick this time.

The neighbors do the cooking

for her everyday.

Give her a call when you have time.

Have a seat.

Can I take your order?

Drinks?

Iced tea with milk, no sugar.

Iced tea without sugar.

Iced tea without sugar.

Looking for anyone?

He left a wallet...

Do you want a sandwich?

Do you live nearby?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You girls are early today.

Wait... Who the hell is he?

He is a friend.

I'm telling you,

don't make any noise

while I'm with a client.

Such a pain!

Have a seat, dear.

- Is there anyone else staying with you?

- a girl friend.

Let's have a threesome.

Don't be silly, she is not back yet.

Let's get started...

What is your name in Chinese?

He's good.

Where did you meet him?

Is he from the Moscow Circus?

Ask him to jump through a ring of fire...

What did she say?

She asked me if you've worked

in a circus before...

No...

Look, he can even juggle while talking.

Bravo...

Bravo...

Jump, jump... Fire, fire...

You jump, I jump...

Don't just talk about it.

Your English is very good.

My English... very good...

You are very good too...

- Please come again, dear.

- Sure.

Your business is good...

How long is your friend gonna stay?

What's wrong?

Haven't you seen a naked woman before?

Are you messing around

with that white guy?

So you're gay?

Don't ever let your mom

come to Hong Kong.

I'm not sure what'll happen...

if she finds out what we're doing.

- Whose turn is it?

- It's my turn...

Not here...

- Bingo... Pay up.

- No way...

It's not fair...

Are you cheating?

Pay up... Where are you going?

He has a job interview tomorrow.

- I'll give you a treat tomorrow.

- Please Get the heck out of here...

- Get out...

- Pay up...

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I am coming for the job interview.

- OK.

Yes, I used to be a babysitter

in the French part of Switzerland.

He said he was a babysitter.

Wait, he doesn't look too friendly.

He might scare the kids.

All foreigners look like that.

Besides, he works part time...

so we don't have to pay the benefits.

And we don't need him to teach anyway.

Just to show the parents that

we have a native English teacher.

It's good for our reputation...

We can find someone cheaper

from the headhunters.

- But he's...

- Alright, that's enough...

He's fine. Tell him

to start working on Monday.

Wait, Ricky.

There's one last order.

Food delivery...

Ma'am, did you make an order?

Did you?

Did you make an order, ma'am?

Have a seat... have a seat...

There're chopsticks...in the kitchen...

I'm not hungry.

I can't walk.

Have a seat.

I don't have the common cold,

nor do I know Snow White

and Sneezy dwarf.

Why do I sneeze day and night

all the time?

What's going on in here?

Last week, there was a Lee...

who got down on one knee.

He begs me to agree

to get married with him.

And there was a Ji,

who made threats to me.

He wants me to be loyal as a puppy.

It must be the 2 of them,

talking about me non-stop day and night.

So I go sneezing 24-7,

go on and on all night.

Hello... Ricky?

What took you so long?

That woman has Parkinson's...

Can I have 2 wonton noodles to go?

- That's your wage for today.

- Thanks.

Sorry, I had a last minute order to deliver.

How was your interview?

- Come...

- What?

- Hey!

- Hello!

- How are you?

- Fine.

I've brought you some food.

It was very busy at the restaurant today.

I'm not hungry.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Sorry, do you speak English?

Can I help you?

No, I'm just looking around...

Okay.

Sorry, this is not for sale.

Sorry.

It's okay.

This one, too.

How could you do this?

Are you okay?

She's my sister.

Your sister...

Does she always behave like that?

I'm looking for a friend.
