Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong
Hold on,
i can't hear you.
Okay, that's better.
Where are you guys?
No, I don't--
i don't know where that is.
I-- I don't--
i don't have GPS
on this phone.
Well, can
you just give me
directions from here?
Hello?
Sh*t.
Come on.
You okay?
Yeah. I'm just--
-couldn't help but, uh...
-Yeah. No, no, I'm fine.
I just--
i lost my friends.
And I have
no reception. So...
Where are you headed?
-Um, LAN kwai--
-LAN kwai fong.
-Yeah.
-You need directions?
Yeah, that'd be great.
I don't--
I don't have GPS
on my phone.
Yeah, I heard.
So, it's easy.
-You just walk down
these stairs here, okay?
-Okay.
- Take a right on Elgin.
-Okay.
-And you go till
you hit the escalators.
-Escalators.
Yeah, mid-level
escalators.
Okay, what building?
No, they're outside.
Oh, like in the middle
of the street?
Yeah.
It's one of Hong Kong's
most famous sights.
The mid-level escalators.
-It's in all
the guidebooks.
-Oh!
-The mid-level escalators.
-Yeah, okay.
Okay? So you go up
two blocks,
you take a right
on Hollywood.
You know,
i think I'm just gonna--
I'll just ask someone
when I get off the escalators.
-Are you sure?
-Thanks. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
I mean, I...
I can--
i can walk you there.
Mm, no.
-Thanks, though.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
Just down
to the right.
-You lost already?
-Yeah, you know, it's--
it's--
it's just pretty
confusing down there.
Well, my offer
still stands.
Are you sure
I'm not taking you away
from anything?
-I don't wanna--
-it's fine.
It's a big
birthday party,
miss me for five minutes.
So let me
just text somebody.
Okay.
Good to go.
I really appreciate it,
-thank you so much.
-Don't mention it.
Don't mention it.
I'm Ruby,
by the way.
-Nice to meet you,
Ruby by the way.
-Hmm.
-I'm Josh.
-Hey.
First time
in Hong Kong?
Uh, yes, it is.
I'm guessing
it's not yours.
No, I live here.
Where you from?
-California.
-Ah, cool.
-San Francisco?
-Nope, L.A.
Oh.
And where
are you from?
-New York.
-Oh.
-What?
-Nothing,
it's just so cliche
for new yorkers
to hate on L.A.
So have you ever been?
No, I never
saw the need.
What? You got something
against nice weather?
See there's something
very wrong with your city
when the only good thing
you have going for it
is the weather.
Okay, that's not
the only nice thing.
Yeah, I guess.
- If you like earthquakes.
-So this is soho.
-Just like New York.
-And London.
-Buenos Aires.
Apparently you're not a major
city unless you have a soho.
What does this
soho stand for?
South of Hollywood.
I wonder why L.A. hasn't
jumped on that bandwagon--
don't even start.
So what brings
you to Hong Kong?
-Work.
-What do you do?
-I design toys.
-Well that's cool.
What kind?
Have you ever seen
those stuffed animals
that sing and dance?
My niece is obsessed
with this one toy.
It's a-- it's a beaver,
but it's--
-Justin beaver.
-Justin--
-yeah.
-Oh, my-- you?
-I designed that.
-What?
-Yep.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-That's pretty cool.
Thanks.
She's obsessed with one toy
and you designed it.
Apparently.
What else you got?
Um, let's see
i have, uh--
moos like Jagger.
It's a cow.
-Ha!
-Lady ba-ba.
-A sheep?
-A sheep. Mm-hmm.
-Where can i
get one of these?
-Um, I don't know.
If I see you next time
I'll just give you one.
Are you planning on
getting lost around here
in the near future?
Well now I know
who to call.
You don't even know
if I'm taking you
to the right place.
Yeah. My mother did
warn me
about talking
to random strangers,
in a foreign city.
She's like that.
She's like a fortune cookie.
So these are
the famous mid-level
escalators.
Ready for the ride
of your life?
Let's do it.
Technology strikes again.
What do you mean?
They're on a date
and they're just
on their phones.
Yeah, well maybe
they've been going out
for a long time
and they just ran
out of things to say
to each other.
No way. They're
at most.
-How do you know?
-The way they're dressed.
I'm sorry,
what are you talking
about?
What were you saying?
Oh wait,
so I actually
make a left here.
Yeah, we go down here,
and then you we down peel.
-Okay.
-And then...
Right, you know what?
I'm gonna be okay.
I'm gonna--
i don't wanna take up
any more of your time.
Yeah, I guess I should--
should get back.
Cool.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, it was nice
to meet you too.
Thanks very much.
- Bye.
-Bye.
Hey, you know what?
Another 10 minutes
is not gonna hurt.
-Really?
-Yeah, I should make sure
you get there.
What a gentleman.
I just don't want
to be accused of anything
in case you go missing.
Wow, that was really creepy.
I'm sorry.
-So creepy.
-Sorry.
I take it too far.
So what do you do here
in Hong Kong?
Nothing as exciting
as designing toys,
that's for sure.
Come on.
What do you do?
I don't wanna bore you.
All right,
I'll guess then.
Uh, you're an expat
in Hong Kong
so I'm thinking...
Trust fund baby?
What? Jesus, no.
All right.
So you're in finance.
I know we're not
the most popular people
Oh, I feel
so sorry for you.
Trust me, I'd rather be doing
something creative like you.
Like what?
Like writing, actually.
Oh, what did you
study in college?
I was a double major,
i-- i-- studied business
