Days of Being Wild Page #4

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 am here around this

time everyday

Hey, do you have enough

money for the fare?

Yes, bye

I never dream that

she will call me

But I always stop in front of

the telephone kiosk

Maybe she has returned to Macao

Or maybe she just wants someone

to kill a night with her

No soon, my mother past away

Then I changed to be a sailor

Son, come to eat your meal

It's ready now

Ranjet, come and eat

Don't you want me to beat you?

"My heart is broken..."

Am I pretty?

Have you cleaned the floor?

Of course, but it gets dry very soon

I can swear if you don't believe

Swear if more curse if you want to

Why? So what if I

haven't cleaned it?

Why should I curse myself?

I'll clean it when I come back, OK?

Alright, I'll clean it before I go out

Can't you cheer up a bit?

You seems to be very upset

I'll treat you to the cinema, OK?

I still have a few bugs with me

Are you very poor?

Maybe I can support you

My sister has transferred to

work in Oriental Nightclub

She said it was easy to earn

a living being a club girl

But you have to pick me up

every night after work

Then I will be your "boy" then

To be happy is the most

important thing

I won't tell others

You still want to go to the movie?

Let's go then

But I want to set my hair first

You don't have to change?

Hey, you still haven't

changed your shoes

I had breakfast with

Old Man this morning

He realised that

I'm in bad mood

He asked me to go to

USA with him

I know it pretty well that,

...in my age

It's difficult to find someone

really like me

Since he treats me so well

So is it!

Though he's quite old,

but he is kind hearted

What do you think?

I won't come back anymore

If you want to, you can go with me

I won't force you if you don't like to

Of course you can't force me

You want to leave yourself

Don't dream!

You force me to be

with you so many years

And now you just said

that you would go

I won't let you go!

I've taken care of you

for so many years

I won't dessert you

I have arranged everything for you

I will leave you the house

I'll send you money every month

I want nothing

I just want you to stay behind

You always want to

keep me with you

So now I won't let you go

If you dare to leave

You want to scare me?

Alright, I don't mean to leave

I'll be old after few years

Do you mean that you would

take care of me?

For what can you take care of me?

I don't care

If not, we will die together then

This is your dream

You did quite a good job!

You have been a foe to me

for these years

Can't you be a bit better to me?

You shouldn't let me know

that I am adopted

Everything will then be perfect

You let me know a bit

and hide a bit,
