F***

I don't know how things turned out

this way

I suddenly remembered when Wu

took me to the airport this morning

Boss, have a good trip

This damn traffic

Our country's real great though

Twenty four hours, Big Bro

Places to eat, twenty four hours

And traffic jams, twenty four hours

Not a single day without traffic

I think I need a doctor

my bladder's going to bust

Spending all day in the car

Nothing's wrong with Wu, right?

Wu's fine

That day he took me to

the airport he told me have a good trip

That threw me off

Because usually when he takes me to

the airport

He'll say

When are you coming back?

When's your return flight?

How long after you met those Thais

did things turn out like this?

From the start they

took me somewhere new

Somewhere I'd never been

It wasn't long before

I felt something wasn't right

Then why the f*** didn't you run?

How would I run?

Where to?

And then?

Then a bunch of guys came

And after that?

After what?

What I'm saying is

did you and that Edward Scissorhands

become friends in the end?

Grab him

How did things get so f***ed up?

My contact in Thailand ran into

a little trouble

So they started to suspect me

Anyway, the crowd he ran with

was real paranoid

If they started to doubt you

it usually wouldn't end well

Were you also dressed like

this that day?

Wearing these smartass glasses?

You want to say something?

We're friends

I respect you a lot

Stop suspecting me

I came a long way

to show you I respect you very much

You've done business

with me for so long

and your Thai is still sh*t

You say you respect me

But your pronunciation for "respect"

sounds like "dick"

Are you saying I'm a dick?

I respect you

Bring it here

Touch it

Touch it

Those f***ing Thais

Especially the dealers

They love to drop big money on rocks

Sometimes when they cut a rock open

It's nothing but a rock

But if they cut a rock

And inside there's jade

And if it's good jade

Holy sh*t

Then you hit the jackpot

Why'd they make you touch the rock?

You think there's anything inside?

I don't know

You don't need to know

You just need to say if there is

or there isn't

I don't know what to tell you

Some people say, those about to die

Will usually give the right answer

Yes

It's really in there

How did you guess there'd

be something inside?

He already spent so much money on

the damn thing

If I said no

He would've popped me right there

If I said yes

The way things were

I still had a chance

So was there anything inside?

There really was something in there

So you could say

that rock saved your life

You could say that

When will those goods be

ready to deliver?

Another two weeks

Is it that little punk again?

Yeah

How do you know him?

Applied for the job

And you trust him?

It's a gut feeling

Gut feeling

Ah Wen

Where's motherfucking Ah Wen?

He had to go do something

Haven't seen a hair of his ass all day

That ugly ass monkey face motherf***er

F***

Did you know

The past few years

when he first came here

I looked after him

He was like a guide dog even

a blind man wouldn't touch

I found out later

When he takes drugs

He's even more like a damn poodle

He'll jump all over you

Holy sh*t

F***ing twitching all over the place

Like someone's about pop

his ass any moment

Crazy as sh*t

Hah

What's the matter with you?

You keep f***ing staring

The f*** are you looking at?

Is there a motherfucking ghost?

You know, you've had this problem for

a long time

I have a problem?

What's with you

Afraid if you come over

I'll f*** you up?

No

Motherf***er

You keep motherfucking staring

Making me nervous as f***

You've got a motherfucking illness

How long have we known each other?

15 years

Why is it in 15 years

You've never torn the

plastic off the sofa

F***

What's wrong with my sofa?

Nothing wrong

It's just a little weird

I'm telling you

As long as you keep it wrapped

It's as good as new

New

But it looks old as balls now

Who're you saving a new sofa for?

We buy things so we can use them

Not to keep them feeling new

This isn't even a good sofa

You ever seen a good sofa

That has plastic wrap on it?

Motherf***er

Don't judge my sense of style

You're making a personal attack

You

Wearing a f***ing white shirt all day

Dressed like some charity worker

Even if you don't wear clothes

Just because you don't wear it

Doesn't mean it'll stay new forever

What about my clothes?

I just f***ing like it this way

Your sense of style's quite special

Wearing a tank top with a gold watch

Holy sh*t

What's a watch have to do with

clothing?

Hah

Don't look down on this watch

It's a Rolls-Jordan, yo

What's a Rolls-Jordan?

It's a partnership by Rolls-Royce

and Michael Jordan

Where did they partner?

Taipei

Rolls-Royce and Michael Jordan

are in two different worlds

How would they partner?

Motherf***er

Stop judging my tastes

Careful you don't piss me off

I'm not judging You

We have things so we can use them

Even if they get old or dirty

In the end, we get attached to them

But sitting on a plastic wrapped sofa

ls messed up

So what?

You're saying you want

to help me tear it open

Sure

I don't have anything else to do now

Okay

Holy sh*t

Motherfucking pants stuck to the ass

It can't breathe like that

Tear it

Keep tearing it

Holy sh*t

Too amazing

Good as new

I don't even want to sit now
