<i>My father died when I was a year old.</i>

5
00:01:00,541 --> 00:01:04,041
<i>My mother did her best to</i>
<i>take care of me on her own,</i>

6
00:01:04,125 --> 00:01:08,625
<i>but after she lost her job, she couldn't</i>
<i>afford to provide for me anymore.</i>

7
00:01:09,833 --> 00:01:13,666
<i>She left me with my grandparents,</i>
<i>who lived in the rice fields,</i>

8
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:19,333
<i>while she looked for work</i>
<i>so we could be together again.</i>

9
00:01:26,166 --> 00:01:28,416
<i>I missed my mother.</i>

10
00:01:32,083 --> 00:01:35,000
<i>I felt alone without her.</i>

11
00:01:40,791 --> 00:01:44,708
<i>So alone that sometimes,</i>

12
00:01:45,791 --> 00:01:48,000
<i>I saw things because I wanted to see them.</i>

13
00:02:01,583 --> 00:02:02,750
[ Mama? ]

14
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:06,541
[ Papa? ]

15
00:02:07,916 --> 00:02:08,833
[ Mama! ]

16
00:02:11,625 --> 00:02:13,958
[ Mama! Papa! ]

17
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:15,833
[ It's me! ]

18
00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:19,083
[ Mama! ]

19
00:02:36,958 --> 00:02:38,250
[ Mama! ]

20
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:08,166
[ Grandma!
I saw my mom and dad! ]

21
00:03:14,958 --> 00:03:16,125
[ It wasn't them. ]

22
00:03:16,208 --> 00:03:18,000
[ Come help me find them! ]

23
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:19,833
[ You need to listen to me and be quiet! ]

24
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:27,625
[ Get in the cabinet. ]

25
00:03:38,625 --> 00:03:39,500
Inspection.

26
00:03:40,041 --> 00:03:41,250
Who lives here?

27
00:03:42,583 --> 00:03:45,208
[ I don't speak Mandarin.
Only Taiwanese. ]

28
00:03:46,583 --> 00:03:47,791
[ You should learn Mandarin. ]

29
00:03:48,583 --> 00:03:51,375
[ It's the policy.
That's what's spoken now. ]

30
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:53,666
I'm going to take a look.

31
00:04:13,625 --> 00:04:14,875
[ Who lives here? ]

32
00:04:15,916 --> 00:04:17,000
[ Just me and my husband. ]

33
00:04:18,208 --> 00:04:19,208
[ Where is he? ]

34
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:22,541
[ In the fields, working. ]

35
00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:38,833
[ Satisfied? ]

36
00:04:40,083 --> 00:04:41,083
[ I have cleaning to do. ]

37
00:04:46,666 --> 00:04:49,083
[ You sure you don't want us
to stay for lunch? ]

38
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,166
Come on. Let's go.

39
00:04:57,916 --> 00:05:01,041
[ There are still dissidents hiding.
They could be anywhere. ]

40
00:05:01,625 --> 00:05:03,125
[ You should be thanking us. ]

41
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:33,875
[ You can come out now. ]

42
00:05:36,708 --> 00:05:37,708
[ What did they want? ]

43
00:05:38,833 --> 00:05:42,125
[ The Kuomintang run the country now.
We have to follow their rules. ]

44
00:05:42,666 --> 00:05:46,166
[ You're not registered here. You can't
tell anyone you're living with us. ]

45
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:49,041
[ Can I go back and look
for my mom and dad now? ]

46
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,541
[ You're seeing things. ]

47
00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:54,958
[ I'm not seeing things!
They were working in the fields nearby. ]

48
00:05:55,041 --> 00:05:58,083
[ I was running to go meet them,
but then I fell down-- ]

49
00:05:58,166 --> 00:05:59,083
[ You talk too much! ]

50
00:06:00,625 --> 00:06:03,416
[ Your father passed away.
Making up stories won't bring him back. ]

51
00:06:04,041 --> 00:06:08,333
[ It won't help your mom
get a job back home, either. ]

52
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:13,500
[ But... I miss them. ]

53
00:06:14,083 --> 00:06:15,250
[ No crying, either. ]

54
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:19,625
[ I told your mother
when she was your age: ]

55
00:06:19,708 --> 00:06:21,208
[ Crying never solves anything. ]

56
00:06:22,083 --> 00:06:25,708
[ Be strong.
Never let anyone see you cry. ]

57
00:06:26,416 --> 00:06:28,708
[ Do you understand? ]

58
00:06:31,666 --> 00:06:32,541
[ Are you going to cry now? ]

59
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:57,875
[ Hey! ]

60
00:07:58,625 --> 00:08:00,083
[ Where are you going? ]

61
00:08:03,791 --> 00:08:06,208
[ What's wrong?
Why won't you say anything? ]

62
00:08:08,083 --> 00:08:10,083
[ My grandma says I talk too much. ]

63
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:13,791
[ It's okay. I won't tell her. ]

64
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:15,583
[ What's your name? ]

65
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:18,791
[ Pin-Jui. What's your name? ]

66
00:08:18,875 --> 00:08:20,375
[ Yuan. ]

67
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:23,625
[ What are you doing with that bucket? ]

68
00:08:24,125 --> 00:08:25,833
[ I'm going to get water from the river. ]

69
00:08:26,625 --> 00:08:27,958
[ Want to come with me? ]

70
00:08:28,541 --> 00:08:29,375
[ Okay. ]

71
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:31,708
[ But only if we race there! ]

72
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,833
[ Not fair! You got a head start! ]

73
00:08:41,416 --> 00:08:44,000
<i>For a few moments, I forgot my loneliness.</i>

74
00:08:46,583 --> 00:08:51,375
<i>Yuan and I spent much</i>
<i>of the next year together.</i>

75
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:55,458
<i>It was one of the happiest times</i>
<i>of my life.</i>

76
00:08:58,083 --> 00:09:01,500
<i>After my mother found a job and</i>
<i>I moved back to my hometown,</i>

77
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:05,250
<i>I thought I'd never see her again.</i>

78
00:09:08,958 --> 00:09:14,166
<i>But then, many years later,</i>
<i>fate intervened.</i>

79
00:09:58,541 --> 00:09:59,541
One more dance.

80
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:03,041
I'm going outside to get some fresh air.

81
00:10:04,458 --> 00:10:07,583
Maybe when I come back.
Maybe.

82
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:15,541
<i>She's beautiful.</i>

83
00:10:16,208 --> 00:10:17,416
What the hell is she doing with you?

84
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:22,083
We met when we were kids,
when I was living with my grandparents.

85
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:25,666
She moved here recently,
and it just sort of happened.

86
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,791
Some guys get all the luck.

87
00:10:29,375 --> 00:10:32,375
You have a girl like that,
you ask her to marry you.

88
00:10:33,625 --> 00:10:36,375
Her parents would never allow it.
They're well off.

89
00:10:36,916 --> 00:10:38,125
I'm a poor kid from a nothing village.

90
00:10:40,916 --> 00:10:44,458
Better have fun with her
while you can, then.

91
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:49,166
I guess so.

92
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:03,041
I think you'll like this one.

93
00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:18,458
Where'd you learn to dance?

94
00:11:19,333 --> 00:11:20,291
Movies.

95
00:11:21,791 --> 00:11:23,000
What movies?

96
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:24,750
American movies.

97
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,708
Someday I'll go there.

98
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:32,833
I'll bring my mom.

99
00:11:33,791 --> 00:11:36,000
She won't have to work anymore.

100
00:11:38,041 --> 00:11:39,208
Can I come?

101
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:40,833
Of course.

102
00:11:42,375 --> 00:11:44,791
Who else am I going to dance with there?

103
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:50,791
Maybe Faye Dunaway.

104
00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:54,750
Never mind. Don't come.

105
00:11:54,833 --> 00:11:57,625
You would only get in the way
of me and Faye.

106
00:12:05,875 --> 00:12:08,666
I'm hungry.
Should we get something to eat?

107
00:12:10,666 --> 00:12:13,291
Let's go to Yuelu.

108
00:12:14,625 --> 00:12:16,250
No way. That's too expensive.

109
00:12:16,333 --> 00:12:17,875
It's fine. My treat.

110
00:12:20,208 --> 00:12:21,750
I can't let you do that.

111
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:24,916
I want to take you somewhere special.

112
00:12:28,916 --> 00:12:30,541
We're going to Yuelu.

113
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:32,583
No more discussion.

114
00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:36,333
You're the most stubborn person
I've ever met.

115
00:12:50,625 --> 00:12:53,458
Hello. Have you dined with us before?

116
00:12:54,041 --> 00:12:56,666
Yes. Many times.

117
00:12:57,416 --> 00:13:00,791
Really? Then you've seen the menu.

118
00:13:01,375 --> 00:13:03,625
Prices are on the right.

119
00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:06,541
Of course. We come here all the time.

120
00:13:07,125 --> 00:13:09,625
I'm surprised you don't recognize us.

121
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:13,625
Fine, then.
What would you like to order?

122
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:16,333
We'll start with... the fried fish...

123
00:13:17,458 --> 00:13:19,833
and also... the bitter melon...

124
00:13:20,416 --> 00:13:22,125
and... a bowl of beef noodle soup?

125
00:13:23,125 --> 00:13:24,125
Great. Thank you.

126
00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:27,083
Is that it?

127
00:13:27,833 --> 00:13:28,708
Right away.

128
00:13:32,541 --> 00:13:34,625
Screw that guy.

129
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:37,708
He doesn't think we can pay?
Who is he to judge us?

130
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:41,625
Is he wrong, though?

131
00:13:42,583 --> 00:13:44,041
Not really, no.

132
00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:18,750
Hey. They've been rude to us all night.
Let's play a trick on them.

133
00:14:19,583 --> 00:14:21,208
No. What are you talking about?

134
00:14:22,125 --> 00:14:24,750
On the count of three,
let's run out the door.

135
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:26,833
No, come on.

136
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:29,208
One,

137
00:14:29,291 --> 00:14:30,125
two,

138
00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:31,375
three!

139
00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:37,041
Hey! Come back, you bastards!

140
00:15:08,625 --> 00:15:10,375
You're crazy.

141
00:15:26,666 --> 00:15:30,750
I want to spend the whole night
with you, but I have to go home.

142
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:36,708
Why don't you ever let me see your place?

143
00:15:39,666 --> 00:15:41,333
It's too fancy.

144
00:15:42,125 --> 00:15:44,791
If I let you see it,
you'll want me for my money,

145
00:15:44,875 --> 00:15:46,375
instead of my good looks and charm.

146
00:16:22,125 --> 00:16:23,500
[ Where were you? ]

147
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:27,416
I thought you were sleeping.

148
00:16:28,708 --> 00:16:30,250
[ I was pretending. ]

149
00:16:30,333 --> 00:16:32,250
I heard you come in.

150
00:16:34,541 --> 00:16:35,500
[ Where were you? ]

151
00:16:37,041 --> 00:16:39,708
Just out with some friends.
Go to sleep, Ma.

152
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:43,666
[ You go to sleep.
You have work tomorrow. ]

153
00:16:44,458 --> 00:16:48,583
So do you. You should rest up, or else Old
Li is going to pick on you again tomorrow.

154
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:54,083
[ That's because I have to keep
stopping my work to help you! ]

155
00:16:54,166 --> 00:16:56,625
[ I was fine before
you started working there. ]

156
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:01,958
Well, we can both agree
that we don't like Old Li.

157
00:17:02,541 --> 00:17:04,291
[ He's disgusting. ]

158
00:17:04,375 --> 00:17:07,791
[ Once I saw him eat a pork bun
out of the trash. ]

159
00:20:26,083 --> 00:20:29,750
<i>My mother and I worked</i>
<i>in the factory every day.</i>

160
00:20:31,208 --> 00:20:33,541
<i>It was very hard work.</i>

161
00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:38,333
<i>Sometimes I wasn't sure if I</i>
<i>would make it through the day.</i>

162
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:41,500
[ Hurry up! Why are you so slow? ]

163
00:20:41,583 --> 00:20:43,250
Sorry.

164
00:20:44,666 --> 00:20:46,083
[ You're not hungover, are you? ]

165
00:20:46,666 --> 00:20:47,833
No.

166
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:52,375
[ Was it a girl? ]

167
00:20:54,125 --> 00:20:55,041
No.

168
00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:58,416
[ Little charmer. ]

169
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:01,750
[ So handsome. ]

170
00:21:05,125 --> 00:21:06,958
[ Look at him. Handsome, isn't he? ]

171
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:11,458
[ Eh, what do you know, anyway? ]

172
00:21:11,541 --> 00:21:14,833
[ Your husband has a face like a toad! ]

173
00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:18,208
Hey, I think those are my gloves.

174
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:22,083
[ Watch out! ]

175
00:21:22,833 --> 00:21:24,583
[ The machine is dangerous!
Be more careful! ]

176
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:27,916
[ If the machine messes up your hand,
no one will want to marry you. ]

177
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:33,125
[ Worse than having a toad face! ]

178
00:21:55,125 --> 00:21:57,833
I've got something to talk to you about.
Walk with me.

179
00:22:02,791 --> 00:22:05,083
I've heard you're interested in going
to America. Is that true?

180
00:22:08,041 --> 00:22:10,125
It's okay. You can tell me.

181
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:12,791
Yes. It's a dream of mine.

182
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,916
It's a good goal.
Many opportunities there.

183
00:22:18,416 --> 00:22:21,750
Very expensive to go, though.
How will you get there?

184
00:22:23,416 --> 00:22:25,250
I don't know.

185
00:22:29,916 --> 00:22:31,041
No, thank you.

186
00:22:34,083 --> 00:22:36,083
I have a daughter, Zhenzhen.

187
00:22:36,166 --> 00:22:38,541
We've been looking
for someone dependable for her.

188
00:22:39,583 --> 00:22:42,458
Would you be interested in meeting her?

189
00:23:06,333 --> 00:23:07,708
So do you like going to school?

190
00:23:10,375 --> 00:23:11,333
It's okay.

191
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,416
What do you want to do after you graduate?

192
00:23:20,041 --> 00:23:21,250
I'm not sure.

193
00:23:21,958 --> 00:23:25,208
Maybe become a nurse or a teacher.

194
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:39,125
Food's not bad, huh?

195
00:23:59,791 --> 00:24:00,625
You're late.

196
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:03,208
I'm sorry.

197
00:24:05,791 --> 00:24:06,625
Where were you?

198
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:10,208
Nowhere. I lost track of time.

199
00:24:16,666 --> 00:24:18,666
And then I had to stop and pick up this.

200
00:24:22,291 --> 00:24:23,666
You didn't steal that, did you?

201
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:28,958
I've heard you go to restaurants
and leave without paying.

202
00:24:31,541 --> 00:24:33,916
I only do that
when I'm with my girlfriend.

203
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,416
She's a bad influence!

204
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,208
This is nice.

205
00:24:56,791 --> 00:24:57,625
Yeah.

206
00:25:02,291 --> 00:25:05,625
You know who I heard on the radio today?

207
00:25:08,791 --> 00:25:10,125
Otis Redding.

208
00:25:11,666 --> 00:25:14,041
It's been stuck in my head all day.

209
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:00,333
You have a beautiful voice.

210
00:26:02,625 --> 00:26:03,750
So do you.

211
00:26:04,875 --> 00:26:06,458
You should be a singer.

212
00:26:09,041 --> 00:26:10,250
Maybe in another life.

213
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:24,041
Where were you earlier?

214
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:29,666
I was at home.

215
00:26:39,541 --> 00:26:41,583
It's not like you to be late.

216
00:26:44,583 --> 00:26:46,041
Were you with somebody else?

217
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:49,500
No.

218
00:26:50,291 --> 00:26:51,875
Don't be silly.

219
00:26:55,791 --> 00:26:57,000
I'm just asking.

220
00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:15,375
Do you want to see where I live?

221
00:27:52,416 --> 00:27:55,208
Told you it was fancy.

222
00:28:03,875 --> 00:28:04,791
Do you like it?

223
00:28:08,666 --> 00:28:09,666
I like it.

[ Hurry up! ]

227
00:32:01,041 --> 00:32:04,500
[ You need to hurry up!
Always so slow. ]

[ What's going to happen
when you're old? ]

229
00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:10,125
[ I don't know
how you could get any slower. ]

230
00:32:10,791 --> 00:32:13,166
-Don't go so fast. Take your time.
-[ It's fine. ]

231
00:32:14,541 --> 00:32:17,958
-Slow down, take it easy.
-[ Leave me alone! ]

00:32:31,375 --> 00:32:32,583
[ I'm fine. ]

234
00:32:34,291 --> 00:32:36,500
You've got to fix these machines!
They don't stop!

235
00:32:42,791 --> 00:32:43,708
Are you sure you're okay?

236
00:32:44,375 --> 00:32:45,541

[ I said I'm fine. ]

That job is too dangerous.
Those machines are old and broken.

241
00:33:12,708 --> 00:33:14,083

[ It's fine. I like it at the factory. ]

00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:37,833
No, you don't. It's miserable there.

00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:43,291

of something else that won't happen? ]

252

What if I made enough money so you
could retire and live somewhere else?

253
00:34:06,541 --> 00:34:10,458
[ Maybe. How would you do that, though? ]

00:34:13,833 --> 00:34:17,833

That's more important. ]

Hello?

00:37:51,791 --> 00:37:52,916
<i>Pin-Jui?</i>

266
00:37:53,708 --> 00:37:54,791
It's Zhenzhen.

267
00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:58,583
Hello.

268
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:02,916
<i>I know it's been a long time</i>
<i>since we've spoken.</i>

269
00:38:07,041 --> 00:38:10,166
I just talked to Angela.

270
00:38:11,291 --> 00:38:14,500
She told me your mother passed away.

271
00:38:15,541 --> 00:38:16,708
I'm sorry to hear that.

272
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:20,250
Thank you.

273
00:38:22,333 --> 00:38:23,625
How are you?

274
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:25,958
I'm okay.

275
00:38:26,958 --> 00:38:28,916
She lived a long life.

276
00:38:31,416 --> 00:38:34,500
I know you cared about her very much.

277
00:38:40,041 --> 00:38:46,041
Angela said you didn't tell her
about the service.

278
00:38:46,750 --> 00:38:47,625
Why not?

279
00:38:49,916 --> 00:38:51,166
She's very busy with work.

280
00:38:52,083 --> 00:38:53,333
I didn't want to bother her.

281
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:58,833
<i>She works too much. She's never at home.</i>

282
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,208
<i>I'm worried.</i>

283
00:39:01,916 --> 00:39:04,666
<i>I think she's having a hard time.</i>

284
00:39:07,041 --> 00:39:08,375
I didn't know that.

285
00:39:11,416 --> 00:39:14,833
Maybe it would help
if you talked to her more.

286
00:39:18,375 --> 00:39:19,833
We live separate lives.

287
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,458
You're very hard on her.

288
00:39:27,041 --> 00:39:28,416
I'm not hard on her.

289
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:29,875
I only want what's best for her.

290
00:39:30,458 --> 00:39:34,333
<i>That may be your intention,</i>
<i>but it's not the way it seems to her.</i>

291
00:39:35,625 --> 00:39:40,541
Think about it. You should see her more.

292
00:39:41,791 --> 00:39:43,625
<i>She's your only daughter.</i>

293
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:01,666
Don't cry.

294
00:41:02,208 --> 00:41:03,208
Crying never solves anything.

295
00:41:05,833 --> 00:41:06,875
Be strong.

296
00:42:24,333 --> 00:42:30,708
<i>When we arrived in America,</i>
<i>it wasn't exactly as I had pictured it.</i>

297
00:42:43,375 --> 00:42:50,041
<i>But I had made my choice.</i>
<i>There was no turning back now.</i>

298
00:43:24,166 --> 00:43:25,333
There's a window.

299
00:43:32,083 --> 00:43:35,916
Should we go out to eat to celebrate?

300
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:38,375
Okay.

301
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:54,000
We can't afford this.

302
00:43:56,208 --> 00:43:57,416
It is very expensive.

303
00:44:00,708 --> 00:44:02,000
This is embarrassing.

304
00:44:05,916 --> 00:44:07,375
It's okay.

305
00:44:07,458 --> 00:44:09,333
We don't have to eat here.

306
00:44:11,916 --> 00:44:12,750
Let's go.

307
00:44:43,833 --> 00:44:45,291
Do you dance at all?

308
00:44:47,541 --> 00:44:51,250
Not really. I get too embarrassed.

309
00:44:52,541 --> 00:44:53,375
Do you?

310
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:57,333
I used to. Sometimes.

311
00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:05,541
Do you want to dance?

312
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:12,250
No, it's okay.

313
00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:17,333
Excuse me.

314
00:47:18,625 --> 00:47:20,208
Are you Taiwanese?

315
00:47:20,291 --> 00:47:21,791
Yes. Why?

316
00:47:24,125 --> 00:47:25,875
I just moved here.

317
00:47:26,583 --> 00:47:27,916
I don't know anyone in the city.

318
00:47:28,541 --> 00:47:30,208
Not very many Taiwanese people here.

319
00:47:30,291 --> 00:47:32,750
Mostly black or Puerto Rican.

320
00:47:33,250 --> 00:47:35,166
I thought maybe you were Korean.

321
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:37,916
No. I'm from central Taiwan.

322
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,666
I'm from Zhongli.

323
00:47:40,458 --> 00:47:42,750
Thank god you're not Korean.

324
00:47:42,833 --> 00:47:44,791
I have Korean neighbors.

325
00:47:44,875 --> 00:47:47,791
They're very loud
and they cook kimchi all day long.

326
00:47:47,875 --> 00:47:49,791
Stinks up the whole building!

327
00:47:54,416 --> 00:47:58,125
I haven't talked to anyone
besides my husband in a long time.

328
00:47:59,166 --> 00:48:01,000
Do you like him at least?

329
00:48:03,708 --> 00:48:07,041
He's okay. He has to work a lot.

330
00:48:07,583 --> 00:48:09,541
I get so bored in the apartment.

331
00:48:10,125 --> 00:48:16,125
Nothing to do but clean and
sit on the couch by myself.

332
00:48:17,541 --> 00:48:23,708
I actually come to the laundromat
with small loads just to see other people.

333
00:48:25,875 --> 00:48:28,125
Wow. That's very sad!

334
00:48:29,791 --> 00:48:31,041
I know.

335
00:48:31,125 --> 00:48:33,083
Come have tea with me.

336
00:48:33,166 --> 00:48:35,916
Always good to have someone to
speak Mandarin with.

337
00:48:36,625 --> 00:48:37,666
Okay.

338
00:48:49,500 --> 00:48:50,333
You're back.

339
00:48:50,875 --> 00:48:51,833
Yeah.

340
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:54,583
How's Peijing?

341
00:48:55,541 --> 00:48:58,291
She's okay.
She sprained her ankle last week.

342
00:48:58,375 --> 00:49:01,875
Again? Didn't she do that a month ago?

343
00:49:01,958 --> 00:49:03,125
Yeah.

344
00:49:03,208 --> 00:49:07,416
The doctor gave her a funny boot
to walk around in this time.

345
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:08,875
That's too bad.

346
00:49:10,916 --> 00:49:13,500
-Should I make us something to eat?
-Wait...

347
00:49:14,125 --> 00:49:16,708
First, I want to show you something.

348
00:49:37,416 --> 00:49:38,375
Do you like it?

349
00:49:42,166 --> 00:49:45,000
I know I haven't been home very much

350
00:49:45,583 --> 00:49:48,416
and you haven't had the easiest time
adjusting to America.

351
00:49:50,291 --> 00:49:51,208
It's okay.

352
00:49:57,541 --> 00:49:59,750
I thought maybe we could
learn how to play together.

353
00:50:02,375 --> 00:50:03,208
Thank you.

354
00:50:06,916 --> 00:50:08,416
What should I make us tonight?

355
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,208
Mapo tofu?

356
00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:11,166
Sure.

357
00:50:12,916 --> 00:50:13,833
I'll go make it now.

358
00:50:21,625 --> 00:50:23,541
You know how to play already!

359
00:50:23,625 --> 00:50:25,875
I learned it just while you were out...

360
00:52:41,375 --> 00:52:43,333
Here. Eat some more.

361
00:52:43,833 --> 00:52:44,916
Thank you.

362
00:52:46,666 --> 00:52:48,916
It's even worse
since he took over the store.

363
00:52:49,958 --> 00:52:51,375
He's always tired.

364
00:52:51,458 --> 00:52:53,666
He never wants to go out or do anything.

365
00:52:54,250 --> 00:52:56,333
You've been married for a while.

366
00:52:56,416 --> 00:52:58,666
Of course he doesn't
make an effort anymore.

367
00:52:59,791 --> 00:53:01,083
At least he's still handsome.

368
00:53:01,875 --> 00:53:02,708
Look at this guy!

369
00:53:03,833 --> 00:53:06,083
You're not winning any beauty pageants!

370
00:53:10,375 --> 00:53:12,708
We don't have anything in common.

371
00:53:13,458 --> 00:53:17,791
Eventually, your life together is
what you'll have in common.

372
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,166
Maybe. It hasn't happened yet.

373
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:26,625
What'd you put in this meatball?
It tastes like shit!

374
00:53:27,208 --> 00:53:29,291
Then cook it yourself!

375
00:53:29,375 --> 00:53:30,666
Quit your whining!

376
00:53:36,791 --> 00:53:39,166
We're ready for you.

377
00:53:39,250 --> 00:53:42,708
The apartment's ready.
Everything's ready.

378
00:53:43,416 --> 00:53:45,083
[ How much space do you have? ]

379
00:53:46,041 --> 00:53:50,041
I told you already. It's not big,
but it's bigger than your house.

380
00:53:51,625 --> 00:53:54,041
[ That's very small for three people. ]

381
00:53:54,625 --> 00:53:56,125
[ What would I do all day? ]

382
00:53:56,208 --> 00:54:00,916
You wouldn't have to do anything.
You could retire, like we talked about.

383
00:54:01,916 --> 00:54:03,708
[ I don't know anyone there. ]

384
00:54:05,125 --> 00:54:10,375
I didn't either, but you can meet
people once you're here.

385
00:54:10,458 --> 00:54:12,458
[ I don't even speak the language! ]

386
00:54:13,125 --> 00:54:15,750
We talked about this before I left.

387
00:54:15,833 --> 00:54:17,625
I thought this is what you wanted.

388
00:54:17,708 --> 00:54:20,375
[ It's what you wanted,
not what I wanted! ]

389
00:54:21,291 --> 00:54:23,208
[ I'm staying here, I'm fine. ]

390
00:54:23,791 --> 00:54:26,291
[ I'm going to work now.
I don't have time for this. ]

391
00:55:03,375 --> 00:55:04,708
Where were you?

392
00:55:05,625 --> 00:55:07,791
I went to Peijing's for dinner.

393
00:55:09,583 --> 00:55:11,916
You didn't tell me.

394
00:55:12,750 --> 00:55:14,166
I thought you'd be at work.

395
00:55:14,958 --> 00:55:16,833
I lost track of time.

396
00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:19,833
There was no food in the house.

397
00:55:22,541 --> 00:55:24,291
I'm sorry.

398
00:55:29,125 --> 00:55:31,458
Peijing thinks if I go to school
for just a few years,

399
00:55:32,083 --> 00:55:34,041
I can get a teaching credential.

400
00:55:34,791 --> 00:55:36,333
What for?

401
00:55:37,458 --> 00:55:40,458
Then maybe I could become a teacher.

402
00:55:42,833 --> 00:55:47,416
Forget about it. After we have kids,
you won't have time to work anyway.

403
00:55:49,791 --> 00:55:52,375
Well, we don't have them yet.

404
00:56:02,125 --> 00:56:03,750
Screw him!

405
00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:07,083
Just take the classes
and see what happens.

406
00:56:10,333 --> 00:56:12,291
I think you're right.

407
00:56:13,625 --> 00:56:16,875
I'll look into when they start.

408
00:56:17,458 --> 00:56:20,708
Good. You won't regret it.

409
00:56:22,208 --> 00:56:24,333
Let's go get ice cream.

410
00:56:24,416 --> 00:56:27,291
Again? Aren't you worried you'll get fat?

411
00:56:27,375 --> 00:56:30,333
I'm already married!
Who gives a shit?

412
00:57:04,916 --> 00:57:07,041
Do you want to pack these?

413
00:57:23,875 --> 00:57:25,250
No. You can throw them out.

414
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:26,916
Okay.

415
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,000
What happened to the hedges out front?

416
01:02:28,708 --> 01:02:30,958
I told the gardener they could trim them.

417
01:02:31,541 --> 01:02:34,375
Why did you do that?
They trimmed too much.

418
01:02:35,791 --> 01:02:39,041
You weren't here.
I didn't know what you wanted.

419
01:02:39,625 --> 01:02:42,583
They look terrible.
How could you not know?

420
01:02:43,875 --> 01:02:46,416
They'll take forever to grow back now.

421
01:02:53,083 --> 01:02:55,250
I don't want to be with you anymore.

422
01:02:57,541 --> 01:02:58,916
What?

423
01:03:01,625 --> 01:03:03,625
I want a divorce.

424
01:03:05,583 --> 01:03:07,416
No, you don't.

425
01:03:08,333 --> 01:03:10,541
Don't tell me what I want.

426
01:03:11,291 --> 01:03:12,666
I'm leaving.

427
01:03:13,541 --> 01:03:15,583
You're acting crazy. Go to sleep.

428
01:03:15,666 --> 01:03:18,083
The kids are gone.

429
01:03:19,166 --> 01:03:21,750
I only stayed for them.

430
01:03:23,166 --> 01:03:25,291
This is my house.
You do what I say.

431
01:03:25,375 --> 01:03:27,375
I don't care about your stupid house.

432
01:03:28,208 --> 01:03:30,958
I've made up my mind.
I'm leaving.

433
01:03:32,333 --> 01:03:35,416
You treat me like a servant.

434
01:03:36,375 --> 01:03:39,875
I give you everything.
Nice clothes, a nice car.

435
01:03:39,958 --> 01:03:42,291
I don't care about that stuff!

436
01:03:43,166 --> 01:03:44,791
Oh, I see.

437
01:03:45,833 --> 01:03:47,708
You're spoiled by America.

438
01:03:47,791 --> 01:03:49,458
That's not how we do things.

439
01:03:50,166 --> 01:03:52,166
Don't forget, I was the one
who brought you here.

440
01:03:52,833 --> 01:03:56,666
My dad paid for it.
You had nothing.

441
01:03:56,750 --> 01:04:00,416
Yes, I came here with nothing

442
01:04:00,500 --> 01:04:02,958
and I built all of this myself,
while you stayed at home.

443
01:04:03,041 --> 01:04:06,875
I raised our children
while you were never home.

444
01:04:07,625 --> 01:04:09,875
Where were you all those nights?

445
01:04:09,958 --> 01:04:10,833
Where?

446
01:04:10,916 --> 01:04:13,291
I never cheated on you.

447
01:04:18,875 --> 01:04:20,416
It doesn't matter.

448
01:04:21,500 --> 01:04:25,291
You take me for granted.

449
01:04:26,208 --> 01:04:29,125
I'm leaving.

450
01:04:31,083 --> 01:04:33,000
Good! Get out!

451
01:04:33,750 --> 01:04:36,625
I never wanted to marry you.

452
01:04:39,666 --> 01:04:41,125
Go!

453
01:04:48,750 --> 01:04:55,041
I used to think you could learn to care
about anyone other than yourself.

454
01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:58,750
But you can't.

455
01:04:59,833 --> 01:05:01,458
And you never will.

456
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:06,250
You're broken inside.

457
01:05:08,166 --> 01:05:13,875
If I could travel back in time,
I would go back to the moment I met you

458
01:05:15,250 --> 01:05:16,708
<i>and run far away.</i>

459
01:05:20,916 --> 01:05:23,458
So far that I would never see you again.

460
01:08:55,625 --> 01:08:56,708
Yuan?

461
01:08:56,791 --> 01:08:57,916
Pin-Jui?

462
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,250
Yes. It's me.

463
01:09:04,208 --> 01:09:06,166
Did you get taller?

464
01:09:07,083 --> 01:09:10,333
I think you shrank, old man!

465
01:09:10,916 --> 01:09:13,666
Probably. Here, come sit.

466
01:09:18,041 --> 01:09:20,791
-How was your trip in?
-Not bad.

467
01:09:21,541 --> 01:09:24,750
New York is amazing.
Much more exciting than Maryland!

468
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,666
Is the weather always this nice
in the spring?

469
01:09:29,250 --> 01:09:30,166
Usually, yes.

470
01:09:31,208 --> 01:09:33,791
Maybe I should spend more time here.

471
01:09:34,583 --> 01:09:36,250
You definitely should.

472
01:09:36,333 --> 01:09:39,458
Hey, they have
spicy beef noodle soup here.

473
01:09:39,541 --> 01:09:42,791
Do you still like it? Should we get some?

474
01:09:42,875 --> 01:09:44,708
Of course!

475
01:09:50,541 --> 01:09:51,791
This is delicious.

476
01:09:52,375 --> 01:09:54,541
You have such good Chinese food here.

477
01:09:55,125 --> 01:09:58,958
Yes. Another perk of living here.

478
01:10:01,458 --> 01:10:05,625
Should we run away without paying
like we did at Yuelu?

479
01:10:06,208 --> 01:10:09,500
It would be fun...
but I have money to pay now.

480
01:10:11,708 --> 01:10:14,291
You used to be so crazy.

481
01:10:14,375 --> 01:10:15,958
You were crazier.

482
01:10:16,041 --> 01:10:20,708
I was just doing crazy stuff
to impress you. You scared me.

483
01:10:21,458 --> 01:10:26,250
We were bad for each other.

484
01:10:27,708 --> 01:10:29,208
I don't think so.

485
01:10:34,250 --> 01:10:36,125
Can I ask you something?

486
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,583
Of course.

487
01:10:40,458 --> 01:10:44,625
The day I left, I was in the back
of a car leaving town.

488
01:10:45,708 --> 01:10:49,000
I thought I saw you out the window.
Was that you?

489
01:10:52,500 --> 01:10:53,708
Yes.

490
01:10:56,125 --> 01:10:57,666
I thought it was you.

491
01:10:58,541 --> 01:11:01,666
But when I looked back, you were gone.

492
01:11:03,250 --> 01:11:05,916
I didn't know if I was dreaming or not.

493
01:11:08,291 --> 01:11:10,166
I saw you.

494
01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:16,208
But I couldn't bear to watch you go,
so I left.

495
01:11:18,291 --> 01:11:19,875
It's a shame.

496
01:11:22,708 --> 01:11:23,958
Can I ask you something?

497
01:11:25,500 --> 01:11:31,250
It's so long ago,
I feel like I can finally ask.

498
01:11:34,541 --> 01:11:37,750
Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?

499
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:41,791
I had to find out where you went
from neighborhood gossip.

500
01:11:44,708 --> 01:11:46,625
What good would it have done?

501
01:11:47,291 --> 01:11:49,083
What would have changed?

502
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:54,791
I guess we'll never know.

503
01:12:00,875 --> 01:12:03,958
You seem to have a good life now.

504
01:12:05,208 --> 01:12:06,541
It's not bad.

505
01:12:08,458 --> 01:12:10,458
My husband just retired.

506
01:12:10,541 --> 01:12:13,041
We have a lot of time on our own now.

507
01:12:14,166 --> 01:12:15,500
That's nice.

508
01:12:18,625 --> 01:12:20,083
And you?

509
01:12:20,166 --> 01:12:21,166
How are your kids?

510
01:12:21,750 --> 01:12:23,041
Good.

511
01:12:23,125 --> 01:12:24,833
Bobby has a band that's done very well.

512
01:12:25,625 --> 01:12:27,875
He just got back from a tour in Europe.

513
01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:30,708
What about Angela?

514
01:12:32,125 --> 01:12:33,833
She's having a harder time.

515
01:12:34,541 --> 01:12:35,958
She works too much.

516
01:12:36,791 --> 01:12:38,291
She has trouble getting along with people.

517
01:12:39,708 --> 01:12:42,916
I don't know how to talk to her.

518
01:12:44,375 --> 01:12:46,125
She's very stubborn.

519
01:12:48,833 --> 01:12:50,750
You should know something about that.

520
01:12:50,833 --> 01:12:54,875
Maybe before she opens up, she
needs you to open up to her first.

521
01:12:55,500 --> 01:12:57,125
It's never too late.

522
01:13:03,416 --> 01:13:06,458
This was fun. Thank you for lunch.
