Michelle: You must be really worried. Your relationships are so close.

Mei Zuo: Isnt this a life style report? Why did it become a gossip style report?

Michelle (laughing): Oh Sorry. Im very curious about F4s things. (pausing) Then what have you been up to lately?

Mei Zuo: Nothing much. Playing ball, watching movies, go to the Pub and listen to music.

Michelle: Senyor, you like going to the Pub? Then could you recommend a few good ones?

Mei Zuo: Theres so many Pubs around, you still need me to recommend one to you? (pauses, thinking) Well, theres this Pub that the atmosphere is pretty good. We always go there.

Michelle: Really? Then whats the name of it?

F3 is sitting at a table in a Pub drinking.

Xi Men (takes out something from his pocket): Oh, right. This is Ah Si and San Cais postcard from Spain.

Mei Zuo takes it to read it. Meanwhile, Michelle just came into the Pub dragging Dao behind her.

Michelle (pulling Dao along): This is the place. Michelle looks in and sees F3 sitting at the table. She turns back to Dao. Michelle: Come on. Whats wrong?

Dao looks like he doesnt want to go in.

Michelle: Ok, to go in or not, you make the decision. She turns to leave and Dao calls out to her. Dao: Hey, Ya Sha.

Michelle (looking back): Im leaving first.

Dao: Hey!

Michelle leaves and Dao has no choice but to slowly walk into the Pub.

Back at F3s table:

Lei (after reading the postcard): Seems like their tone of voice is the same. (pauses) Ah Si and San Cai is now taking different paths toward the future.

Xi Men: Without Ah Si here, the feeling is sort of weird.

Dao walks slowly around the Pub toward the bar area. He finds a seat at the end of the bar and sits down with his back to F3s table. F3 is sitting only a couple of feet away. A girl walks up to F3s table and drapes herself over Xi Men.

Girl: You havent been out to hang around for so long. Come dance with me. How about it?

Xi Men: But I have something to do and I have to speak with these guys.

Girl: Oh please. You always use this excuse every time. Come.

Xi Men: Why dont you ask Mei Zuo? Mei Zuo dances well.

Girl: I dont care. I want you to dance with me. Come.

Xi Men: Another time ok?

Girl: Come. Now.

Lei cant seem to stand it anymore, so he turns and walks away from the table toward the bar area where Dao is sitting. But he stood a couple of seats away from Dao. Dao sees him standing a couple of seats away and turns his face to one side so that Lei cant see him.

Xi Men: Be a good girl. Ill dance with you another time.

Girl (still not giving up): Now.

Xi Men: I have some business now.

Girl: Lets go dance now. Since you havent been out to play for so long. How about it? Lets all go dance together. Lets go.

Xi Men: Today is my day with the boys to get together, dont ruin our fun, ok?
Girl (finally seeing that shes not able to convince Xi Men, gives up): Ok, Ill let you go this time. Next time, you have to remember to call me. Ok?

Xi Men nods his head at her.

Girl: Then Ill see you next time. Bye.

Xi Men waves at her. The girl walks away but was stopped by a guy at a table right behind F3s.

Guy 1: Come. Come.

Guy 2: Did you see our Senyor Xi Men? So cool. So handsome.

Guy 1 (speaking to the girl): Stop staying over there playing dumb. Why are you trying to suck up to the asshole? Senyor Xi Men is an asshole.

Mei Zuo makes a move to stand up, but Xi Men stops him.

Guy 2: Come. Drink beer.

Guy 3 (speaking to his other 2 friends): He comes from a very rich family. You guys? How can you compare?

Guy 1: Thats right. You shouldnt even be talking to him.

Guy 2: I dont believe that. When they were in school, theyre really all well-behaved. Look guys.

Guy 2 gets up and walks over to F3s table where only Mei Zuo & Xi Men is sitting.

Guy 2: Senyor. (pouring a cup of wine and handing it to Xi Men) Just pretend I was that girl before and have a drink.

Xi Men (looking at the cup the guy just poured): Im sorry. I think were not sitting at the same table. Please go back to yours.

Guy 1 (calling out to his friend): Hey Michael. Come back.

Guy 3: They are the very famous F4.

Guy 2 (still sitting at F3s table): Its F4? I think its F3.

Guy 1: Yes. You are right. Theres no F4 now.

Guy 2: F3 Funny Funny Three. Let me cheers one with you guys. (holds up the cup again)

Xi Men and Mei Zuo just sit there smiling their fake smile at him. All of a sudden, Mei Zuo gets up out of his seat and pushes his hand in the guys face. And a fight breaks out. Dao is still sitting to one side looking at the whole scene. Lei, who was still standing by the bar, very calmly takes out a wad of money and hands it over to the guy behind the bar counter.

Lei: Your Pubs going to need to renovate.

Mei Zuo & Xi Men finishes hitting all the guys and started to walk away. Suddenly, one of the guys gets up and picks up a bottle and goes after Mei Zuo. Dao sees the guy and quickly walks over and grabs the guys hand that was holding the bottle before he can hit Mei Zuo in the back.

Guy (surprised at Dao): What are you doing? Let go! Dao.

Dao struggles with the guy and pushes him away.

Guy (gets up): Ill remember this! Then he runs away.

Lei (standing there looking at Dao surprised): Ah Si.

Mei Zuo (after snapping out of his shocked state, rushes over to Dao and grabs him by the shoulders): Ah Si! Its really you.

Dao suddenly pushes Mei Zuo away toward a table.

Mei Zuo (rights himself, turns in shock and surprise): Ah Si?

F4 stood there looking at each other, then Dao slowly walks pass Xi Men and toward the door.

Xi Men (calls out to Dao as he was walking by): Ah Si.

Dao pauses for a second then continues walking out then started running. F3 hesitated for a couple seconds then ran after Dao calling his name. After running for a while, F3 finally manages to corner Dao on an overhead bridge, with Xi Men & Lei standing on one side and Mei Zuo standing on the other.

Mei Zuo (out of breath): Ah Si. What are you running for?

Xi Men (also out of breath): Take a closer look. Its us.

Dao just continues to stare at them breathing heavily.

Lei: Ah Si really doesnt remember anything.

Mei Zuo: He has to! If not he wouldnt have helped us.

Xi Men (talking to Dao): Doesnt matter what you remember, what you forgot, come back with us. We will help you remember.

Dao tries to get pass Mei Zuo.

Xi Men (shouts out): AH SI!

Dao (shouts back angrily): How did I know guys like you?

Xi Men: But for the past 20 years, the four of us have always been together.

Dao: How can I be like you guys?!?! Im not that kind of person!

Mei Zuo (yelling): What nonsense are you talking about!

Lei (talking to DSM): Why dont you ask yourself the reason for helping us out before? Thats because between all of us, no matter who gets into trouble, anyone of us would come out and help the another first thing. Even if we lose our life, we dont care.

Mei Zuo: Ah Si. (grabbing Dao by the shoulders) Because we are the best

Dao (throwing Mei Zuos hands away and starts running again): Get away!

F3 continues to run after him. They ran until they are by a railroad track. The red signal is on for no crossing because theres a train that would be coming soon. Dao manages to run across the train tracks to the other side but F3 couldnt get across in time. Dao(on one side of the track, yelling back at F3): I HATE MY PAST!

Mei Zuo (yelling back from the other side): "NONSENSE!

Lei (also yelling): You can hate your past but you cant forget San Cai! The train runs past just as Lei was finishing his sentence. When the train passes, Dao is already gone.

F3 is at a place somewhere, Xi Men & Lei is standing there silently while Mei Zuo is sitting down. Mei Zuo gets up suddenly and kicks at a soda can in anger.

Xi Men: What are you doing Mei Zuo?

Mei Zuo: How can he forget everything? EVERY little thing, hes forgotten.

Xi Men: Just think of the good side. When he helped us before, that is totally Ah Sis personality.

Mei Zuo: So he does remember right? He helped because of us right? Right?

Lei: Mei Zuo. Admit it. Ah Si really doesnt remember anything. Did you forget what he said before? He not only questions us, but he also questions his past.

Mei Zuo: In the past, hes such a bully, likes to give red tags Ive never said anything against it but always follow his ways. This time if he would only listen to me for once! Why cant he just listen to me this once? Mei Zuo (frustrated, shouts out): AH SI!!!

Dao is walking in the streets all the while having flashbacks of the scenes that just happened. He sees the billboard ad again and stops to stare at it. Meanwhile, San Cai is sitting in front of one of the electronic billboards, waiting for Dao to call. Then she goes home and stares at the lights that Dao put up for her in the design of the meteor necklace, in MG1.

Dao finally goes back to the apartment, where Michelle is sleeping. He tries to take off his shoes without waking her, but he made a lot of noise and she woke up. Dao picks up the photo of him and F3 and sits down on the floor to stare at it.

Michelle: Youre back. So what happened?

Dao: Happened? I ran away.

Michelle: Ran away? Why?

Dao: I dont know Its just that Do I have to find my past?

Michelle: Isnt that what you wanted all along?
Dao: What if Im saying what if I dont like my past? Then why do I have to go look for them?

Michelle (pointing to the picture in Daos hands): Youre saying you dont like them?
Dao: I feel that my past is not something that I should have memories of. Doesnt matter if its family or friends, it wasnt what I was hoping for. (pause) Didnt you say I was very lucky? I could live all over again? Then shouldnt I start over and live Ah Sings life?

Michelle: Living a new life is very hard. Do you feel it?

Dao: Im going to look for a job tomorrow.

Having said that Dao goes over to the table and fills out a working paper. He wrote his real name, Dao, on it but then he stares at it and crumbles it up. Then he takes another paper and writes the name Ah Sing.

Next morning, Dao is walking around looking for a job. Finally he comes to this breakfast café called Orange, which has 3 workers there. The boss is named Ah Lun, his wife named Yi Ling and a worker called Da Xin. The café seems to be very busy. Dao walks in the café and goes to the counter where Ah Lun is frying eggs.

Dao: I want to ask if you are hiring?

Ah Lun stares at him and takes his working paper and puts it in his pocket.

Ah Lun (continues to fry eggs): Whats your name?
Dao: Im called Ah Sing.

Ah Lun: Ok.

Dao (surprised): Am I hired?
Ah Lun (looking very busy): Didnt you say you are looking for a job? (looking at Dao) Hurry. (he motions to the plate of food on the counter) You have to be quick, fast and precise.

Dao understands and picks up the plate of food and walks over to Da Xin.

Dao: Sorry. Can you please tell me where Table A is?
Da Xin (looking at Dao): Table A?

Dao: Table A.

Da Xin (looking over at Ah Lun then back at Dao): Oh, Table A is facing the streets, Table B is in the back. (yelling to Ah Lun) Table C wants another order of French Toast, egg omelet, a cup of tea, a cup of chocolate, and a cup of milk. Fast ok?

Dao brings the plate of food over to the customer. Then he walks back to the stove counter.

Dao: Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Ah Lun (reading the order on a piece of paper in one hand and oiling the stove top with the other): What did you say your name was again?

Dao: My name is Ah Sing.

Ah Lun: Ah Sing, you come in.

Dao walks behind the counter and Ah Lun hands Dao two eggs.

Ah Lun: Here. Two fried eggs. I have to go to the bathroom.

Ah Lun walks away while Dao stares at the two eggs in his hands, not sure what to do. Then he takes the spatula and tries to crack it open.

Ah Lun (coming back): Hey, what are you doing?

Dao: Well, Ive never

Ah Lun (shocked): You dont know how to fry an egg? You cant even fry an egg? move over. Then I cant hire you. You cant even fry an egg, you wont do. Dont bother me. Im very busy. Go.

Dao walks out from the back counter, pouting.

Customer (calling out): Lao Ban, can you please clean this table?

Ah Lun: Oh, ok. He throws a towel on the counter, calling out, Da Xin.

Da Xin: I cant. Im busy now. Yi Ling. Yi Ling.

Yi Ling: Im taking an order.

Dao stands there remembering Michelles words that living a new life is hard. He then reaches over and takes the towel and goes to clean the table. Ah Lun tries to stop him but Dao didnt listen. Ah Lun, Da Xin, and Yi Ling all stare at Dao cleaning the table.

San Cai is having lunch with her parents at home. San Cai (putting down two dishes of food): This is the dish that Dad must eat everyday, carrots. And moms favorite dish, omelets."

Dad (fake laugh): Dad is very happy. Can taste San Cais cooking. Doesnt matter if its stir fry carrots, even if it was raw carrots, dad would eat it. Just pretend Im a rabbit, Ill eat it everyday."

San Cai (picking up her bowl and chopsticks): Then lets eat.

San Cai starts eating but mom & dad just sits there staring at her.

San Cai (noticing their stare): Ma, whats wrong?

Mom: Mom and dad is really worried about you. We watch you leaving early and coming back late from work everyday. You are not happy. At night, you hide in your room and cry. Mom and dad is also hiding in the room and crying. (starting to cry) I dont know what to do so I go to the temple and pray. Why does my daughter have such a hard life?

San Cai: Ma, Im fine.

Dad: Right. Nothings wrong. Our whole family is fine. Look, dad is selling cars now and Im getting better and better at it. San Cai is fine now. As long as our family is happily together everyday, no matter what happens we can fight against it. Right? Dads happy then San Cais happy. San Cais happy then Moms happy. We would be very happy. Lets eat.

Xi Men gets introduced to the employees at work. They wanted to give him a pretty assistant, but Xi Men said that if he gets a pretty assistant, he wont be able to concentrate on his work. So Xi Men hand picked a guy wearing glasses to be his assistant. Xi Men and assistant walks into his office.

Assistant (opening the door for Xi Men): Please come in Master. Master Xi Men.

Xi Men (walking in and looking around the room): Call me manager. Dont call me Master.

Assistant: Oh ok. Manager. Manager what time do you eat lunch? Is there anything special that you like to eat? Or dont like to eat? Also, Manager what time do you like your coffee break? Should I have someone

Xi Men (interrupting him): Im here to work.

Assistant (bows): Im sorry. Im sorry.

Xi Men: Can you please get me the reports for this quarter to look over? Also, have a meeting set up for 2:00 p.m. this afternoon.

Assistant: Today?

Xi Men: Is there a problem?

Assistant: Master. No, I meant Manager. Today is your first day of work. Um, nothing. Ill go tell everybody about the meeting.

Assistant leaves and Xi Men sits at his desk.

San Cai is getting ready to leave the house. She opens the front door and finds Mei Zuo standing outside waiting for her. San Cai (surprised): What are you doing here? Hey, why did you wake up so early today?

Mei Zuo: What? I cant wake up early?
San Cai (seeing the look on Mei Zuos face): Whats wrong?

Mei Zuo: Weve stopped the electronic billboard advertisements.

San Cai: I know.

Mei Zuo: Can you find someone to work for you this morning?

San Cai: Why

Mei Zuo: Please? Mei Zuo & San Cai arrive at a beach.

San Cai (standing with Mei Zuo and staring out at the water): Wow. This feels so comfortable. Havent been to the beach for so long.

Mei Zuo: Do you still remember our first trip together?

San Cai: Of course I remember. You and Xi Men both brought along a girl.

Mei Zuo: Did we?

San Cai: Yes and they both have very good bodies too. Made me feel very self-conscious. And you guys also

Mei Zuo (interrupting San Cai): We saw Ah Si.

San Cai (quickly turning to face Mei Zuo): Where?

Mei Zuo: At the Pub.

San Cai: So where is he now?

Mei Zuo: He helped us in a fight and then ran away. We couldnt catch up with him. He really doesnt remember anything. I saw him in a torn T-shirt and jeans. From his expression, behavior, I suddenly feel very scared.

San Cai: Scared about what?
Mei Zuo: He doesnt want to remember his past. He just wants to live the life he has now.

San Cai: Then he must be living very well now.

Mei Zuo: Maybe.

San Cai: Then I dont have to worry.
Mei Zuo: San Cai, Are you not worried that Ah Si will never come back?
San Cai: Whats the point of worrying? Isnt it true that even you guys couldnt catch him?

Mei Zuo: At the time when Ah Si was standing in front of us, I had this really weird feeling. Theres a part of me that suddenly envies Ah Si. He lost his memories, lost his identity, but he has found a care-free new life. Do you know, in another 2 days, Ill have to wear a suit, wear a tie and live this boring working life? Can you see me like that?

San Cai (smiling): Definitely would be very handsome.

Mei Zuo: Well, of course. But I dont want to be that me.

San Cai: But this is the way the world is. Theres not one person who can live the life that they want. But dont you feel thats the surprise in it?

Mei Zuo: What surprise?

San Cai: Because most of the time, we cant have what we want, so when you finally get what you want, you would feel extra happy. (pause) What I said is true. Like now, if we come to the beach everyday, then it wouldnt be so special anymore. But if we come once in a while, then we would feel that the water is extra blue, the wind is extra comfortable and the feelings extra good.

Mei Zuo: You dry cracker San Cai, you are very special.

San Cai (smiling): Right. Because you are around pretty girls everyday, so of course, I become special.

Mei Zuo: San Cai. You are finally better. I was worried that once the electronic billboard ad is stopped, you would break down again.

San Cai: Dao is living his new life now. How can I stay in the past and not move forward? We never know what tomorrow will bring unless we welcome it. Mei Zuo, you have to experience your new life. Good luck!

Mei Zuo: Ya. Jiao You.

Both started yelling jiao you out to the water.

Back at the café, after the peak hour for business has passed, Ah Lun and Da Xin is sitting at a table counting the money while Yi Ling is fixing her make up.

Da Xin (looking at Daos working paper and whispering to Ah Lun & Yi Ling): Dont you guys think its strange? His last name is Ah and his first name is Sing. And the rest is all blank. Very weird.

Dao is in the back counter cleaning up.

Ah Lun (speaking loudly so that Dao hears): Who cares what his last name first name is. He cant even fry an egg, how can I hire him?

Da Xin (whispering): Dont be so rude, ok? Hes been cleaning tables all morning. Right and hes still washing dishes now.

Ah Lun (still speaking loudly): I didnt tell him to do it.

Da Xin: Hey, you are so bad. Hes helping you out and youre saying stuff like that.

Ah Lun: Hey Im kidding. I open the shop all day and only earn this little money. Of course, I have to count everything.

Yi Ling: But until now, he still hasnt rest at all. (pause) At least hes more serious than Da Xin.

Ah Lun: Hey, how can you compare him with Da Xin?

Da Xin (speaking to Yi Ling): Right. You compare him to me, whats wrong with you? Me and Ah Lun are good friends.

Ah Lun: What I meant was, my café has one lazy worker is enough, if theres another lazy worker, then you be the boss and Ill let you hire me.

Da Xin (speaking to Ah Lun): Turnip cake. You scolding me?

Ah Lun: Thats the way it is.

Da Xin (getting loud): You scolding at me?
Ah Lun (getting loud too): I scold then I scold.

Ah Lun and Da Xin both started pushing at each other and arguing at the same time. Ah Lun almost falls against Yi Ling who was putting on her mascara.

Yi Ling (yelling): What the heck are you two doing?

Ah Lun and Da Xin both quiet down and sits down quickly. Ah Lun then continues counting the money and then pulls one bill aside to give to Dao. Yi Ling seeing him pull only one bill, reaches over and pulls out another. Ah Lun stares at her for a few seconds then relents, not daring to contradict her, and takes the money over to the counter, where Dao is still cleaning.

Ah Lun: Ah Sing. Eh, thanks for your hard work. Ive thought it over and decided that we just cant hire someone who cant fry an egg. (hands Dao the money) This is the money for your work for today, ok? Hurry up and go look for a new job, huh? Stop wasting time here.

After saying this Ah Lun walks back to sit down at the table and Dao just stares at the money that he is holding.

At the pastry shop, San Cais boss is putting out some heart shape cakes in the display case.

Boss: Look. Pretty? This is especially made by the chef for Valentines Day.

San Cai: Oh thats right. In another couple of days, it will be Valentines Day.

Boss: We get lots of business during this time. But the part time workers are all taking off on Valentines Day. I cant find anyone to work.

San Cai: Lao Ban Niang, Ill work overtime.

Boss (happy): You can work overtime? But, your tall, handsome boyfriend, hes not celebrating with you?

San Cai (at the mention of Dao, she hesitates a little before answering): When two people are together, every day can be Valentines Day. Its ok.

Boss: Thats good then. Ill pay you extra then.

San Cai: Thank you Lao Ban Niang.

Boss: Youre welcome. Im the one that should thank you.

Dao is riding his bicycle when he stops at a grocery shop. He buys a huge bag of eggs to bring home so that he can learn how to fry an egg. After many tries, with Michelle helping him, at cracking, frying, burning the egg, Dao finally manages to fry the perfect one.

Next day, back at the café. Dao walks into the shop again.

Da Xin: Hey, why are you here again?

Dao: Im here to look for a job.

Ah Lun: But I already told you yesterday (sees Michelle walking into the shop) Welcome!

Da Xin & Ah Lun both stare at Michelle with their mouths open.

Da Xin (with eyes open wide): Wow!

Michelle walks over to a table and Da Xin pulls her chair out for her.

Da Xin: Please take a seat. One person? What would you like?

Michelle: I want a fried egg.

Ah Lun: Oh, fried egg. No problem.

Michelle (pointing to Dao): I want to eat the egg thats prepared by him.
