Requiem for Romance

  • 0:56 - 0:56
    Hello?
  • 0:57 - 0:57
    Hey Tsai
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    Hi
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    Called you a bit earlier.
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    Yeah... I was out with my family.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    So what's up? I was just thinking of you.
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    Yun...
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    Yeah?
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    I have something to tell you.
  • 1:14 - 1:14
    Ok.
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    What is it?
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    ...It's too much.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    We have to stop seeing each other.
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    Tsai... what are you talking about?
  • 1:24 - 1:24
    It's over.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    It's my parents! I can't face them!
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    You're kidding me. Tsai, we've been through this before.
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    They don't like you.
  • 1:30 - 1:31
    They barely even know me.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    They're never gonna change.
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    I think you're over-reacting here.
  • 1:35 - 1:41
    No, I've made up my mind. I'm sick of lying to them, I'm sick of feeling guilty all the time.
  • 1:41 - 1:46
    Wait, how long have we been
    together? And you do this over the
    phone?
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    It's just easier that way.
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    Don't you owe it to me to tell me in
    person?
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    Mmm, I once dumped someone over
    email, so I guess this is a step up.
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    Typical. You always take the easy
    way out.
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    Trust me, this isn't EASY for me.
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    Well, I'm not going to give up on us
    just like that.
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    Yes! You have to!
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    Just give... up.
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    Man, you're parents are really
    old-school!
  • 2:08 - 2:08
    I know.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    Not even my grandmother is as
    old-school as your parents!
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    Yeah, eh?
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    You and me, we have everything in
    common.
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    Same jokes, same languages,
    same culture.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    I mean, why do your
    parents have such a problem with me?
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    You're an artist.
  • 2:25 - 2:26
    Yeah! And so are you.
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    Exactly! Two artists can't be
    together. We'll be poor.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    That's not true. I'm actually doing
    really well these days.
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    Well, it's more than a money thing,
    it's a respect thing.
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    Wait a second. Artists used to get
    tons of respect in the old days.
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    They were up there with the scholars
    in ancient Chinese society.
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    Maybe, but that's not the way it is
    now, so what's the point?
  • 2:45 - 2:46
    I...
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    I just...
  • 2:50 - 2:53
    things were going so
    well between us...
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    Yun,
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    there's someone else.
  • 3:00 - 3:00
    What?!?
  • 3:01 - 3:02
    My parents made me meet him.
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    No one makes you do anything, Tsai.
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    He's a doctor, rich guy. He's 3
    years older. They like him a lot.
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    God! What is your parent's obsession
    with the number 3?
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    Umm... I guess it's luckier than 4?
  • 3:14 - 3:15
    Yeah, that makes sense.
  • 3:16 - 3:16
    Hmm.
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    And a doctor? I mean, how
    predictable is that? It's always
    either a doctor or a lawyer.
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    Actually, my parents think lawyers
    are mean.
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    So... this is really happening?
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    Yeah.
  • 3:52 - 3:53
    Tsai...
  • 3:56 - 3:57
    Yeah?
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    Remember how we met?
  • 4:00 - 4:01
    Mmmhmmm.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    Well, if that wasn't meant to be,
    then I don't know what is...I mean,
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    ...our lives crossed paths
    before we ever met in person. That's
    gotta count for something.
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    It was really special, but...
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    it wasn't meant to be.
  • 4:19 - 4:23
    You know, this situation, really
    doesn't make sense to me.
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    We're two people who are right for each other.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    So, it should be simple;
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    should be a happy ending.
  • 4:32 - 4:33
    I don't know why this
    has to be so...
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    difficult.
  • 4:35 - 4:38
    Life doesn't always have a happy
    ending.
  • 4:38 - 4:42
    Come on, you gotta stop watching
    those Korean dramas; they've
    brainwashed you.
  • 4:42 - 4:45
    Hey, I like those Korean dramas.
  • 4:45 - 4:50
    Aww, man, it's always about
    impossible love. So depressing. And
    they always use Pachelbel's Canon
    for everything.
  • 4:50 - 4:54
    You're such a geek. Kung Fu movies
    are exactly the same.
  • 4:54 - 4:57
    No way, at least they're willing to
    stand and fight.
  • 4:57 - 4:59
    Yun, please,
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    You have to stop.
  • 5:04 - 5:07
    You have to let me go.
  • 5:18 - 5:19
    ...Ok
  • 5:24 - 5:24
    Hey Tsai?
  • 5:26 - 5:27
    Yeah...
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    You think we can just, maybe talk,
  • 5:31 - 5:34
    I mean, the way we used to?
  • 5:34 - 5:39
    I really just called you cus I wanted to hear
    how your day was...
  • 5:42 - 5:43
    Ummm. Yeah
  • 5:44 - 5:44
    Ok.
  • 5:47 - 5:48
    So...
  • 5:49 - 5:52
    What are you doing right now?
  • 5:53 - 5:55
    I've just been laying here the whole
    time.
  • 5:57 - 6:00
    Do you want me to just stay on the
    line?
  • 6:02 - 6:03
    Yeah,
  • 6:04 - 6:06
    that would be nice.
