Lost in Beijing Page #2

Synopsis: Lin Dong and Wang Mei are a childless couple in Beijing, wealthy, approaching middle age. Lin owns a foot-massage parlor. One afternoon he rapes one of his workers, Liu Pingguo, who has nearly passed out from drinking alcohol with a friend. Part of the assault is witnessed by Liu's husband, An Kun, a window washer. He's angry with the boss and with his wife, and he seeks compensation. Lin's wife counsels him and joins in revenge. Then, Liu realizes she's pregnant and a set of emotional calculations ensues: Lin wants to buy the child, Wang agrees but has conditions, An Kun goes back and forth and barely contains his anger; Liu withdraws. The baby comes. Can anything be sorted out?

Yeah, that's it

My boyfriend bought it for me

Hello

What are you talking about?

There are more than 50 girls at my place

How would I know who is Liu Pingguo?

Whoever f***ed your wife is a bastard

What? $20,000!

$20,000? You're crazy, go rob a bank

You still owe me $200

What the f*** is emotional distress?

F*** you

I will break your leg, a**hole

Go away

Did you say I owe you $200?

I'm not that kind of guy

Thanks, I'll serve you even better next time

Hello, I'm on my way

Boss

You didn't tell me that you're married

Boss, I'd like to talk to you

Asking for money again?

You two make a perfect team

No, it's not like that, Boss

Let's talk in the car

$2,000

That's the end of it

Understand?

I didn't come for money

I didn't know An Kun asked you for money

I don't care if you do or not

From now on

I never want to see you again

Neither of you

Boss, are you firing me?

You don't expect a promotion, do you?

Actually, it was just an one-night stand

Boss, but how could that be?

I never wanted...

It was you who started it

You had an orgasm, right?

Get out of my car

I got to go home

Boss

You can't put the blame on me!

Really, if you want to fire me

I will report you for rape

On what ground?

The stuff that you left on my skirt

Who do you think I'm? Bill Clinton?

An Kun doesn't know about it

I will not tell anybody

Boss

Is that alright?

Does this hurt?

Not hurt

I'm telling you

You can lose more weight with love-making

People like us

We don't get laid easily

We can only lay here cupping

That's you not me

How do you manage your problem?

What problem?

Infertility is not a problem!

I don't want a child anyway

Mrs. Lin, someone's looking for you

A man or a woman?

A man

Where are my cigarettes?

I'm telling you the truth

I'm telling you my true feeling

I'm not surprised at what that bastard did

It's not the first time

Expecting a man to not f*** around

Is like expecting a dog not to look for bones

But asking me for money

That's not very smart

I'll tell you why

Even if I have problems with my husband

We are still a couple on the same side

I won't do anything against my self interest

While we both feel cheated

But if you're asking me for money as a redemption

You are asking me to act against my self interest

Do you understand, boy?

If you don't pay, I will report him

My husband screwed your wife, right?

He did it against her will

Against her will, and you feel bad about it?

Not only that, I am hurt and depressed

You are hurt?

If he denies it, you'll never get your $20,000

Right?

If he admits it, it would be easy

You are heading in the wrong direction

No matter what, he won't give you money
