Godspeed Page #4

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.

Oh right, this...

Uhh

Maybe the messenger was sensitive

What happened to him?

My father passed

very suddenly last night

May I ask where you're from?

I'm from Taipei

My father had a lot of

Taipei friends when he was alive

He doesn't keep in touch with them

as much now

How did you and my father...

We were friends despite our ages

When your father was younger

he helped me out

Thank you

Please

Please

Please

Come on

Aren't they

usually only

given at the funeral ceremony?

Every place has its own customs

Don't feel forced

It's the thought that counts

That

Money?

No

Sorry

I wasn't prepared to present it

right away

My money's in the car

I...

I'll go back and get it

I'll come with you

It's fine, it's fine

It's fine, wait a moment

I'll be back in a minute

You stay here

Stay and watch

I had nothing to do with that sh*t

Bro, don't blame me

You wanted to get out of the car

and look yourself

So many places you could've looked

And you had to stop in the boondocks

What is this shithole?

What're you going to eat here?

Nothing to eat here but

bullshit and birdshit

What's there to eat?

You tell me

What can you eat?

Damn it all to hell

Nearly f***ed me over

If you're going to look

Don't look in a goddamn funeral

Someone's father died Big Bro

Someone's father died

Dead dad, f***ing great choice

Lining up for good eats

I'll beat your ass

Someone's dead dad,

and you're lining up to eat

The f*** are you doing?

Head up your own ass

Serves you right

None of my business

Dirty criminals

Lowlifes terrorizing decent folk

Sorry

Cash has been tight recently

Sorry

Dad

Your Taipei friends came to see you

Ah

What should I call you?

What's your name?

I'm Little Xu

It's spelled X-U

Not S-H-U

Motherf***er

There's no entrance fee

to see Chiang Kai-Shek's grave

Look at a stranger's corpse

and it costs 2500

You were gone so long

I thought you wouldn't come back

I'll add the 2500 to your fare

The total's 12,000

What fare?

You were the one who wanted to eat

Why am I paying it?

We should've cleared out a lot sooner

Why the hell did we stay?

Young boss

You couldn't have left

You know what?

If you ran

They would've all chased you down

and killed you

No joking

Seriously

All right

I'll be generous

That 2500

I'll pay 1000

You pay 1500

The total's 11,000

The total's 11,000

1000, 1500?

I'm not paying anything

F***

I didn't want to take your taxi in

the first place

Now what

Anything that happens is my fault?

Okay, okay. okay

Forget about it

Let's not talk about it anymore

Could you give me some cash

in advance?

Let's say

4000N Upfront?

Not even halfway there and you want

an advance
