EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN

Hello? Have you eaten?

Not yet?

Just throw together

some noodles for lunch.

That fish is excellent.

Don't roast it,

that would be a pity.

It just needs to be slightly steamed.

Don't add any salt!

Whatever you do, no salt!

Salt dries the fish and

it won't be tender.

Just get a pot of boiling water

and put salt around the plate...

If not today,

then when will we talk about it?

Small coke, three chickens?

That'll be 100 yuan.

Hey, I ordered chicken!

That is chicken!

Jia-Ning, I can't cover for you today.

Guo-Lun is taking me to the beach.

You have to! Father will kill me

if I'm late for Sunday dinner again.

And I thought you and

Guo-Lun broke up.

We did!

I just want to torture him a bit more.

Then torture him

by keeping him waiting an hour.

- Hurry up!

- Great idea!

How's the new boyfriend?

Hi, Jia-Chien.

Still working on a Sunday afternoon?

New boyfriend's okay, pretty quiet.

Especially after Bo-Kang.

Sounds good.

Let's get together later?

Don't work so hard!

Thanks, but I'm seeing Raymond later.

Raymond, eh, heh-heh-heh?

What does that mean,heh-heh-heh?

The difference between

Christians and ordinary people...

...is not only do we have eternal hope,

But we also rely on God...

to give us wisdom

to overcome our difficulties

...and to give us joyfulness

and peace to settle our frustrations.

You okay?

Yeah. Just a little wound up.

Work, you know,

and I just

closed on the new apartment...

...all my savings...

...but it'll be worth it

to get out of that house.

That was wonderful.

Better than when we were together.

It's much easier like this.

We were a disaster as a couple.

All that shouting and fighting.

You want to

come down to my gallery now?

A new woman artist.

You'd like her work.

I have to get home

for the Sunday dinner torture ritual.

Punch your time card.

Change my Sunday schedule, please.

I'll see what I can do.

Hi, Guo-Lun.

I'm Chu Jia-Ning.

Rachel asked me to tell you

she'll be an hour late.

Shit! How dare she!

Don't be angry!

It's just an hour...

even less now.

It's not the first time

she's made a fool of me.

It's not serious.

What would you know?

Have you loved someone who hates you...

...who hurts you every day?

It's my fault really.

She forgot she was covering for me.

I didn't know

I'd cause so much suffering.

You're not to blame.

It's me.

I want to end this addiction to love,

but I'm too weak.

Well, I'd better be going.

Bye!

Will you tell Rachel to bring back

the red shirt she borrowed?

She can bring it to work on Wednesday.

Whatever.

What are you reading?

Dostoevsky.

Bye!

Thank you.

Promise me we'll go to choir practice?

I'll think about it.

Brother Chai is the handsomest

man in the congregation...

...and he loves your voice!

Sister Chang,

I don't wish

to be liked only for my voice!

I'll never find a husband for you!

Then stop trying.

Dear God,

please bring luck to our family...

...we are happy

to have God in our hearts...

...and thank You

so much for this terrific dinner...

...and thank You again

for bringing our family

together with happiness.

In the name of Jesus Christ,

thank you. Amen.

These past two days I...

Something wrong?

No, it's fine.

Nothing.

Say it!

The ham was oversmoked.

It's fine!

Father probably forgot to taste it.

Or his taste is getting worse.

My taste is fine!

Yesterday... Our school...

You first.

Jin Fen called from America.

Her mother is coming back.

But her green card?

She just can't stand it anymore.

They fought and fight.

Even the police came!
