My sense of taste

is getting worse and worse.

My food is only as good as

the expression on your face.

Don't be silly!

You rely on

your feelings when you cook,

not your taste buds.

Like that Western deaf composer,

called Bay...

Beethoven.

Beethoven. That's right...

...good sound is not in the ear...

good taste is not in the mouth

and good sex...

...God knows where...

You're drunk.

Eat, drink, man, woman.

Basic human desires.

Can't avoid them!

All my life, every day,

that's all I've done.

It pisses me off.

Is that all there is to life?

We should be thankful that

we're still alive and cooking.

By the way,

when will you have

your recipes written up?

What recipes?

Didn't you say that

you wanted to write down

the great recipes

from your memory?

I'm just afraid that one day,

you'll...

God damn you!

Are you counting the days to

take advantage of the opportunity?

Here,

taste this!

Little daughter?

Little daughter?

It's six o'clock!

Get up, lazy-bones!

Jia-Chien, get up!

How many times have I told you

not to fall asleep at your desk?

It's bad for your posture.

And didn't the doctor tell you

that jogging was bad for your back?

Shan-Shan.

Good morning Grandpa Chu!

Morning! Off to school?

Why are you eating

your breakfast here?

I don't have time for breakfast.

Look! Your dumplings from yesterday.

But Mom squeezed the juice out,

So I wouldn't get my hands all greasy.

Come to my house at noon.

I'll make lunch for you.

I have school all day.

All day?

Then where's your lunch box?

The bus is here!

Don't push!

The valence electron

of a typical element...

...is equal to its groups

and its valence electron in turn...

...is equal to its groups.

Understood?

Okay, let's look at the periodic table

of the elements again.

The Group A elements:

1A, 2A, 3A...

Pay attention!

...4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A.

Okay, let's use

the color red for Group 1A.

Let's take a look.

Who will return the ball?

I'll go!

Very well, I'll do it.

Hey, where'd it go?

Give it back!

Sorry!

Sorry! We missed!

It's okay.

I'll come up and get it.

I can throw it down.

She's throwing the bouquet!

Let's continue!

What's going on?

What's in your hand?

Nothing, Teacher.

Bring it here, let me see it.

There's nothing to see.

Bring it here!

Sit down!

Give it to me!

Writing love letters

in chemistry class!

Love letters are

a kind of chemical catalyst.

Someone wrote it to me!

So what?

What is this doing in class!

Showing off?

Who hasn't

received love letters before?

A la fin tu es las de ce monde ancien

Bergre tour Eiffel,

Le troupeau des ponts ble ce matin

The American airline industry

is going through a recession.
