The Best of Times Page #3

Synopsis: Although their characters and temperaments couldn't be less alike, 19-year olds Wei and Jie are best friends. They're also neighbours, living with widower fathers and problem siblings in the suburbs of Taipei. When Wei is promoted from the rank of nightclub parking valet to the rank of debt-collector in Brother Gu's gang, he persuades his boss to hire Jie to work alongside him. Things begin to go wrong when they are given a handgun to reward their success in the new job. Always excitable and volatile, Jie becomes reckless and dangerous when he has the gun in his hand. When they try to collect a debt from the boss of a rival gang, a fight erupts and Jie shoots the gang-boss. The boys find themselves on the run. But fate and their youthful dreams still have tricks to play...

It's the gang

Hey! Ah Wei!

What's up? Long time no see!

Pretending not to know us?

"""No, I don't want any trouble"""

You think saying 'Hi' to me means trouble?

In fact it's just like this shithole here

full of garbage and f***ed-up guys

Why should I feel unhappy?

"""Indeed, for me

getting used to such things

is a virtue in itself

My sister explained that to me

in the hospital

right after she gave up the therapy

It's just that getting used to all this crap

takes a little patience

F*** VOL! guys!

Next time I see you I'll turn you into pigs

"""Cut it out, Ah Jie"""

I'm too mad to look for the pig

"""Ah Jie, have a smoke"""

Don't feel like it

Have a smoke!

How could a damn great pig just vanish?

F***! Morons!

"""Hey, isn't that it?"""

What?

That goose

That's a duck

Who cares if it's a duck or a goose?

It must be somewhere around here

Help me look for it!

Look for what?

The pig! Aren't you listening?

You turned it into a goose

Get real! You don't believe that

"""Come on, help me find it"""

You must sleep well and get better

We'll wipe your body

It'll feel nice

"""Lt doesn't hurt, does it?"""

Everybody feels for you.

You don't need to worry

"""That feels good, doesn't it?"""

I don't think I'll get well

"""The house won't be that close by,

but don't worry about it"""

Your clad will build a bigger

house for you to live in

You won't miss this place

This house will still be here anyway

"""Aren't you worried, Granny?"""

"""No! Not very happy"""

No redevelopment here

As long as you get better

"""Don't worry,

your parents will always love you"""

That's good

One time I got drunk

I was stationed on Mt Turtle Island

The crabs there were bigger than these

was a mess sergeant, quite a high rank"""

One day our captain

He and some buddies got me drunk

And they put me on a boat

ended up on Taiwan, and I was discharged!"""

"""What could I do?

Anyhow, I was discharged"""

And see what's become of me!

My wife ran away

Never mind

I lost everything

"""Never mind, uncle Life begins at 70!"""

Seventy!

Let's get rich and go to Vietnam to find wives

"""Sure, why not, as long as we have money

"""Yeah! Come on, drink up"""

How will you get rich

if you gamble every day?

Brother-in-law

Keep the noise down

Min and Granny are asleep

Don't worry

"""Ah-Shiu, not so loud"""

"""Yes, yes, I'll be quiet."""

Take a seat

"""Sorry about this, I know you don't visit often"""

"""Sorry, but our Granny and Min are sleeping"""

Ah Kee!

"""Sorry, I'm peeing here"""

Ah Kee! Ah Kee!

He's not there

ls he here?

Not in there

Ah Kee!

"""Ah Kee, what are you doing there?"""

Some guys fell in the water
