[phone ringing]

0:00:55.522,0:00:56.359
TSAI: Hello?

0:00:56.377,0:00:57.477
YUN: Hey Tsai

0:00:57.684,0:00:58.674
TSAI: Hi

0:00:58.813,0:01:00.173
YUN: Called you a bit earlier.

0:01:00.340,0:01:02.420
TSAI: Yeah... I was out with my family.

0:01:02.780,0:01:05.890
YUN: So what's up?[br]I was just thinking of you.

0:01:07.392,0:01:08.302
TSAI: Yun...

0:01:08.963,0:01:09.863
YUN: Yeah?

0:01:10.678,0:01:13.028
TSAI: I have something to tell you.

0:01:13.570,0:01:14.380
YUN: Ok.

0:01:15.105,0:01:16.035
YUN: What is it?

0:01:17.518,0:01:18.968
TSAI: ...It's too much.

0:01:19.663,0:01:21.805
TSAI: We have to stop seeing each other.

0:01:21.805,0:01:23.645
YUN: Tsai... what are you talking about?

0:01:23.645,0:01:24.636
TSAI: It's over.

0:01:25.007,0:01:27.107
TSAI: It's my parents! I can't face them!

0:01:27.107,0:01:29.117
YUN: You're kidding me, Tsai,[br]we've been through this before.

0:01:29.117,0:01:30.143
TSAI: They don't like you.

0:01:30.143,0:01:31.423
YUN: They barely even know me.

0:01:31.423,0:01:33.007
TSAI: They're never gonna change.

0:01:33.007,0:01:34.788
YUN: I think you're over-reacting here.

0:01:34.788,0:01:38.610
TSAI: No, I've made up my mind.[br]I'm sick of lying to them,

0:01:38.610,0:01:41.252
TSAI: I'm sick of feeling[br]guilty all the time.

0:01:41.252,0:01:46.238
YUN: Wait, how long have we been[br]together? And you do this over the phone?

0:01:46.238,0:01:47.868
TSAI: It's just easier that way.

0:01:47.899,0:01:50.659
YUN: Don't you owe it to me to tell me in[br]person?

0:01:50.679,0:01:54.289
TSAI: Mmm, I once dumped someone over[br]email, so I guess this is a step up.

0:01:54.289,0:01:57.299
YUN: Typical. You always take the easy[br]way out.

0:01:57.299,0:01:59.309
TSAI: Trust me, this isn't EASY for me.

0:01:59.309,0:02:01.765
YUN: Well, I'm not going to give up on us[br]just like that.

0:02:01.847,0:02:03.227
TSAI: Yes! You have to!

0:02:03.806,0:02:04.566
TSAI: Just... give up.

0:02:05.101,0:02:07.251
YUN: Man, you're parents are really[br]old-school!

0:02:07.251,0:02:08.131
TSAI: I know.

0:02:08.163,0:02:10.342
YUN: Not even my grandmother is as[br]old-school as your parents!

0:02:10.377,0:02:11.778
TSAI: Yeah, eh?

0:02:12.371,0:02:15.181
YUN: You and me, we have everything in[br]common.

0:02:15.555,0:02:18.595
YUN: Same jokes, same languages,[br]same culture.

0:02:20.096,0:02:23.146
YUN: I mean, why do your[br]parents have such a problem with me?

0:02:23.320,0:02:24.840
TSAI: You're an artist.

0:02:24.978,0:02:25.948
YUN: Yeah! And so are you.

0:02:26.029,0:02:29.309
TSAI: Exactly! Two artists can't be[br]together. We'll be poor.

0:02:29.508,0:02:32.018
YUN: That's not true. I'm actually doing[br]really well these days.

0:02:32.018,0:02:35.038
TSAI: Well, it's more than a money thing,[br]it's a respect thing.

0:02:35.076,0:02:38.016
YUN: Wait a second. Artists used to get[br]tons of respect in the old days.

0:02:38.043,0:02:41.153
YUN: They were up there with the scholars[br]in ancient Chinese society.

0:02:41.215,0:02:44.535
TSAI: Maybe, but that's not the way it is[br]now, so what's the point?

0:02:44.826,0:02:46.046
YUN: I...

0:02:47.150,0:02:48.060
YUN: I just...

0:02:49.528,0:02:52.728
YUN: things were going so[br]well between us...

0:02:54.914,0:02:55.794
TSAI: Yun,

0:02:57.727,0:02:59.107
TSAI: there's someone else.

0:02:59.532,0:03:00.332
YUN: What?!?

0:03:00.738,0:03:02.308
TSAI: My parents made me meet him.

0:03:02.481,0:03:04.681
YUN: No one makes you do anything, Tsai.

0:03:04.829,0:03:09.089
TSAI: He's a doctor, rich guy. He's 3[br]years older. They like him a lot.

0:03:09.237,0:03:12.367
YUN: God! What is your parent's obsession[br]with the number 3?

0:03:12.558,0:03:14.248
TSAI: Umm... I guess it's luckier than 4?

0:03:14.350,0:03:15.480
YUN: Yeah, that makes sense.

0:03:15.553,0:03:16.533
TSAI: Hmm.

0:03:16.678,0:03:18.906
YUN: And a doctor? I mean, how[br]predictable is that?

0:03:18.906,0:03:21.504
YUN: It's always either[br]a doctor or a lawyer.

0:03:24.074,0:03:27.774
TSAI: Actually, my parents think lawyers[br]are mean.

0:03:37.965,0:03:42.485
YUN: So... this is really happening?

0:03:44.538,0:03:45.598
TSAI: Yeah.

0:03:52.239,0:03:53.149
YUN: Tsai...

0:03:56.100,0:03:56.850
TSAI: Yeah?

0:03:57.296,0:03:59.016
YUN: Remember how we met?

0:04:00.178,0:04:01.348
TSAI: Mmmhmmm.

0:04:02.203,0:04:05.273
YUN: Well, if that wasn't meant to be,[br]then I don't know what is...I mean,

0:04:06.982,0:04:09.441
YUN: ...our lives crossed paths[br]before we ever met in person.

0:04:09.441,0:04:11.900
YUN: That's gotta count for something.

0:04:11.900,0:04:14.360
TSAI: It was really special, but...

0:04:15.649,0:04:18.849
TSAI: it wasn't meant to be.

0:04:19.386,0:04:23.196
YUN: You know, this situation, really[br]doesn't make sense to me.

0:04:24.026,0:04:25.836
YUN: We're two people who[br]are right for each other.

0:04:27.389,0:04:29.099
YUN: So, it should be simple;

0:04:29.230,0:04:31.450
YUN: should be a happy ending.

0:04:31.540,0:04:32.980
YUN: I don't know why this[br]has to be so...

0:04:33.100,0:04:34.520
YUN: difficult.

0:04:34.872,0:04:37.932
TSAI: Life doesn't always have a happy[br]ending.

0:04:38.315,0:04:40.391
YUN: Come on, you gotta stop watching[br]those Korean dramas;

0:04:40.391,0:04:42.467
YUN: they've brainwashed you.

0:04:42.467,0:04:44.545
TSAI: Hey, I like those Korean dramas.

0:04:44.613,0:04:47.154
YUN: Aww, man, it's always about[br]impossible love. So depressing.

0:04:47.154,0:04:50.715
YUN: And they always use[br]Pachelbel's Canon for everything.

0:04:50.715,0:04:53.766
TSAI: You're such a geek. Kung Fu movies[br]are exactly the same.

0:04:53.880,0:04:57.070
YUN: No way, at least they're willing to[br]stand up and fight.

0:04:57.159,0:04:58.889
TSAI: Yun, please,

0:05:00.235,0:05:02.415
TSAI: You have to stop.

0:05:03.898,0:05:07.368
TSAI: You have to let me go.

0:05:18.393,0:05:19.123
YUN: ...Ok

0:05:23.608,0:05:24.478
YUN: Hey Tsai?

0:05:26.068,0:05:27.118
TSAI: Yeah...

0:05:27.765,0:05:29.665
YUN: You think we can just, maybe talk,

0:05:31.281,0:05:34.361
YUN: I mean, the way we used to?

0:05:34.444,0:05:39.074
YUN: I really just called you 'cause I[br]wanted to hear how your day was...

0:05:41.970,0:05:42.960
TSAI: Yeah

0:05:43.741,0:05:44.711
TSAI: Ok.

0:05:47.047,0:05:48.067
TSAI: So...

0:05:49.368,0:05:51.548
TSAI: What are you doing right now?

0:05:52.861,0:05:54.991
YUN: I've just been laying here the whole[br]time.

0:05:56.736,0:06:00.316
TSAI: Do you want me to just stay on the[br]line?

0:06:02.212,0:06:02.922
YUN: Yeah,

0:06:04.129,0:06:06.019
YUN: that would be nice.

0:06:08.949,0:06:23.670
