Godspeed Page #3

Synopsis: Na Dow carries out his drug-delivering routine by taking a cab down south and returning in the same cab on the same day. One day he reluctantly gets into a shabby taxi driven by the carefree, innocent Xu, who came to Taiwan more than 20 years ago and somehow decided to stay. Na Dow's plan to reform himself and Xu's wish for a peaceful life take a wrong turn when they become the target of a mob attack. The drugs and the money are gone, and both Na Dow and Xu are held hostage in the trunk of a car.

And tolls and gas fees

I'll count them as just 1500 N In total it'll only be 9070N That's the cheapest

That's the cheapest

Young boss

On top of that

As a personal service

I won't charge when you're on the clock

I'll wait while you take care of business

And after that I'll drive you back

Young boss, young boss

How about this

9070N I can take 9500NT instead

I don't need the 70N Make a new friend

Make a new friend

Big Bro

Feeling all right?

You can call me Old Xu

Xu, spelled X-U

Not S-H-U

You don't have to spell it, I know

No big deal

It's easier to spell it out

I was driving all night last night

You drove all night and you're still taking

me this far out?

No big deal

I'm used to it

Wait a moment

Take the interchange

Rest up and get gas

I've been a driver twenty years

There won't be any issues

You're not a native here

Young boss's real sharp

You can tell just by listening

Over twenty years ago,

I came from Hong Kong

I can't be considered a

Hongkonger by now

I count as Taiwanese

Can you watch the road when you talk?

I'm just happy to talk to you

Why come to Taiwan?

Hong Kong's no good?

It's been so long

I've forgotten it all

Daily life, though

It's all the same over there

Can't say one side's

better than the other

Or the other side's better than the one

No such thing

Big Bro

Can you turn up the air conditioning?

Not cool enough?

You young people nowadays

Can't stomach the slightest hardship

When we were young,

there was no air conditioning

Never heard of it

A light breeze on your face,

that was paradise

Young boss

Listen to me

If you want to succeed

In the future

There's three things

young people need to do

That is to

Suffer Suffer Suffer

You can only succeed

if you grow up with suffering

Then you'll understand

the meaning of hardship

Want a taxi, bro?

What's the fare?

Depends where you're going

We charge by taxi meter

Taxi meter

-Yeah

Taipei to Kaohsiung?

Taipei to Kaohsiung is 7000

To Tainan?

Tainan

Tainan's a thousand less

Just 6000

Even with tolls

Even with tolls?

Everything included

How new's your car?

Seven, eight months

So new

About eight months old

Not bad

All right

I'll ask for your car next time

Young boss

What time you want to arrive?

Three

It's still early

Want to eat something before hitting

the road?

So many people are in line over there

There should be something tasty to eat

F***

This isn't a restaurant

What

There's nothing to eat here

Excuse me, do you

Oh, we thought there was food here

No, no

Uhh, that

I got the message yesterday morning

I rushed over at dawn

Sorry

My father passed away last night
