Why didn't you come out

that day?

You didn't even answer my call.

I waited for you downstairs.

I know you were home.

Are you mad at me?

Is your wife away on business?

She's in Beijing.

I thought we agreed

not to complain.

Sorry.

I'm flying to Europe this time.

Let's think about this thing

between us.

We need to make up our minds.

You said there'd be

no strings attached.

I am not attaching strings.

I'm just not sure

I love you anymore.

I have to go.

We're all old friends.

I really don't know

how to do this.

I hope you can cool down

for a while and reconsider.

Thank you for the advice.

Lily, I didn't want a divorce.

Your keys!

Mommy, why do you

want a divorce?

You'll understand

when you get older.

Men can't be relied upon.

We can get by just fine

without them.

Do you have any savings?

Don't forget about alimony.

It's hard to find someone

at 40-something.

When you do, you don't want them.

Why not?

If he's good, then why not?

Bottoms up, down in one!

Peter. Peter! One, 2, 3!

Time to eat!

Time to eat.

Are you feeling better today?

Linda, Grandma's winning!

You bet.

You can talk to her.

She likes being talked to.

She can hear you.

Try reading the newspaper

to her.

She likes that.

She looks just fine.

"A minor flat to E major.

It tries to express the idea

that we exist in our memories.

From a baby staring at a mirror...

...to when we start to observe

ourselves in mirrors."

Are you listening?

My name is Lily.

I have a daughter.

I'm recently divorced.

Have you been married?

Do you have family?

Do they come to visit you?

Can you hear me?

What? Just a second.

Jack? What did you say?

Married? But you told me...

We agreed

we'd never marry anyone.

Do you realize what you've done?

It's pouring, and I can't find a cab.

I can't get home.

I'm cold.

Don't call me again.

Who will I call

when I need someone?

I knew this would happen.

Hello? Xiang?

Are you there?

Hello?

Xiang.

Mom, why do I have to

study piano?

A girl needs a backup.

If your husband

ever leaves you...

...you can teach piano

to support yourself.

- But why would he leave me?

- Who knows?

At least you'll be prepared.

Carry on!

I'm dying.

I am dying.

No one will care if I'm dead.

I am going to die.

I am dead.

I'll marry the next guy

who knocks.

Lots of people

are interested in your piano.

- Are you really going to sell it?

- I want to sell everything.

I want to sell myself too.

This guy is looking for a piano

as a gift for his daughter.

Whatever. If my mother found out,

she'd turn over in her grave.

- Show me that one.

- Okay.

- That one.

- This one?

They're all black.

Going to a funeral?
