01

you waited for me;
we called each other;
missed you for 5 minutes;
then you were there;
greeted me with a kiss;
i smiled.

02

stood taller than you;
messed with your hair;
kissing you from behind;
nibbling your neck;
wish you’d do the same.

03

on the train;
sat beside you;
counting stops;
fingers tapping a familiar rhythm;
you grabbed my hand;
not even a word;
wish time can be stopped;
at that exact moment before we get out.

04

rain was drizzling;walking around c town;
about dozen of times;
2 souls;
undecided;
passing by;
nodding heads;
settled.

05

underground tunnel;
ringing cellphone;
holding hands;
you fell;
an accident;
i laughed;
an incident;
unforgettably funny;
at least you have that.

06

you came up with a theory;
a rather silly one;
it did make sense though;
such details;
i’m surprised that you cared.

07

cross-road;
traffic lights;
u led me;
i’m lost;
pretty girls walked pass;
intriguing;
just assume I’m yours;
again;
holding hands;
worry about my worries;
air filled with laughter, music and beers.

08

you got it;
thrilled with excitement;
am happy for you.

09

several transits;
final stop;
dinner;
shocking discover;
lost something;
not something important;
but feel stupid enough of my carelessness;
spoiler of the trip;
i’m an idiot!
compliment of the incident:
you can really run!

10

way back;
took a ride together;
we on our own;
you with movie;
i’m with music;
arrived at destination;
we went our own way;

~~The End~~

if you like;

up to you;

whatever;

you can stay if you want to;

i do not understand;

why do you say that?

why can’t you just ask me to do it?

i want to!

i want to!

i want to!

of course I want to;

but what if all I really want is just for you to ask me to stay;

and why don’t you?

i want to stay;

i love to stay;

and;

i will stay;

but I need you to assure me that you and me wanted the same thing;

because I often have this feeling;

that;

perhaps;

you do not want me to.

讨厌；

憎恨；

厌恶；

这种感觉；

这种突然间被遗弃的感觉；

你我之间；

突然之间；

没有任何的联系；

就算是一则短讯的问候；

都没有；

这；

到底；

是一种什么样的感觉？

Céline: (Motions to her cat in the path before them.) Here is my kitty! Oh, so cute! Look at him. You know what I love about this cat? It’s that…every morning, I bring him down to the courtyard, and every single morning he looks at everything like it was the first time! Every corner, every tree, every plant. He smells everything with his little cute nose. Oh, I love my kitty! I love my kitty!

Jesse: What’s his name?

Céline: Che.

Jesse: (Disbelievingly, then smugly.) Che? Uh-huh.

Céline: What?

Jesse: Commie!

Céline: No, “Che” in Argentina means “Hey”! (Cuddling the cat.) Oh, baby! Oh, yes, yes, yes.

you don’t have to be so calculative on everything;

im not, im just saying this is not your responsibility;

well then, you really need to give me a darn good reason, that’s not good enough;

what reason is there to give?

that’s the moment;

that’s when I know you really care for me;

i can almost hear you say that you love me;

but you should know it all along;

i just do not want to take you for granted;

or I probably already did.

三天；

两夜；

雨天；

我和你；

牵着手；

真的牵着手；

漫步在灯光闪烁的街道上；

你轻轻吻了我；

就像我们真的在一起一样；

我们真的在一起吗？

你没有说；

我没有说；

那晚；

我好快乐；

好快乐。

Jesse: (To Philippe who is waiting in the car.) Um, monsieur…I’m gonna walk her to her door. Uh…

Céline: (Translating for Philippe.) Il va m’accompagner a la porte.

Jesse: This is incredible! This is where you live?

Céline: Yeah.

Jesse: How long have you been here?

Céline: Four years. So tell me…

Jesse: What?

Céline: Is it all true, about your dreams, or…did you just say that to hopefully get in my pants?

Jesse: Oh, I just said that to get into your pants! I use that all the time…

Céline: Oh, OK. Does it work?

Jesse: Eh, you know…sometimes.

75 minutes of electrify performance;

powerful opening;

the beat;

too long and too short;

the way was long;

the show was short;

but it was worthed;

well-worthed;

coz I was there, with you;

with you…….

i understand at times sudden unexpected occurrence make plans changed, the fault is neither you nor me. the thing is we didn’t even properly talk the trip thru, such as places to visit, the itinerary, any special plan, etc. i shorten my trip wanting to perhaps make it easier, but guess i didn’t.

you know me……….and yes you do (i hate it!), u pick up my annoyance so quickly. i just can’t help to think that if i didn’t asked you to go then that would create less trouble, i think way way too much, i know? You would’ve go no matter what anyway, u told me.

i dont know why i keeping things so much inside, im such problematic person. you really should kill me by now.

我不是什么事都想对你说的。

(They get out of the car and walk forward a few steps, stopping near the front of the car.)

Céline: So… I want to try something.

Jesse: What?

Céline: (Hugs him tightly - Jesse is surprised and holds back, momentarily.) I want to see if you stay together or if you dissolve into molecules.

Jesse: (Hugs her closer.) How am I doing?

Céline: Still here.

Jesse: Good, I like being here. (They separate and look intently into each other’s eyes.) Is this your apartment? (Motions behind her.)

Céline: Oh, no, I live down there. (Motions ahead of them.)

Jesse: Down there?

Céline: Yeah.

now, doesn’t she do it all out of love?love for her country;

我显得有一点儿不自在；

矛盾；

我真的真的只是很开心；

见到你；

这样就够了；

我很好；

我不好；

情绪起伏不定；

可以怪谁；

不再想假装坚强；

那种感觉；

原来；

很累；

很累。

fine or not fine;

she’s gone crazy;

she freaked out;

it means too much to her to find someone that actually cares;

she doesn’t know what to do or how to react;

they never say.

Jesse: This is…this is…this is where you live?

Céline: Yeah.

Jesse: So, uh, you’re just relieved that I’m in even more deep shit than you are?

Céline: Yes. You’ve made me feel better.

(Camera cuts to interior of the car.)

Jesse: Oh, good, I’m glad.

Céline: No, I really wish you the best. It’s not because I’m incapable of having a good relationship or a family that I wish everyone to be doomed like me.

Jesse: I’m sure you might be a great Mom someday!

Céline: Really, you think so?

Jesse: Oh, yeah. A few anti-depressants…you know, you’ll do great!

Céline: Oh, no…(As she did earlier in the film, she raises her left hand and wiggles her fingers back and forth in front of his face.) OK…say “Stop”!

Jesse: Um, “Stop”!

Céline: (Stops wiggling her fingers, and gives him just the 3rd finger. They cheer together.) Ohhhh!!

Jesse: Heey! OK, you ready?

lovely dress.

i can smell the milk.

already?

tell me the truth.

too much coffee.

random talking;

pointless conversation;

running thru;

running thru.

im not sure where i headed would be better;

but i know i can’t stay any longer.

Céline: (Eyes starting to water again.) Why are you telling me all this?

Jesse: I’m sorry. I don’t know, I’m…I…I should…I…I shouldn’t have.

Céline: You know, it’s so weird…that people think they are the only one going through tough times. I mean when I read the article I thought…your life was perfect. A wife, a kid, a published author. (Jesse laughs.) Your personal life is more of a mess than mine! I’m sorry! (Both laugh.)

Jesse: Well…I’m glad it’s good for something.

Céline: (To Philippe.) Oh, monsieur, c’est la! Rentrez dans la passe la. (Sir, this is it. Pull into the alley right there.)

we don’t have to do anything, you know?

it’s cool to just chill out and hang around like this;

yea, i like this too.

要上班；

在穿着鞋子的时候；

突然间；

发现；

原来你的身影；

已经；

在我的记忆里；

慢慢；

退了颜色。

Jesse: (Looks away distantly.) I have these dreams, you know, that I’m…I’m standing on a platform, and uh, you keep going by on a train, and…you go by, and you go by, and you go by, and you go by, and I wake up with the fucking sweats, you know? And then I have this other dream, oh…where you’re…pregnant, in bed beside me, naked, and I want so badly to touch you, but you tell me not to and then you look away and…and I…I…I touch you anyway, right on your ankle and your skin is so soft and I wake up in sobs, alright? (Inhales deeply.) And my wife is sitting there looking at me, and I feel like I’m a million miles from her, and I know that there’s something…wrong! (Céline reaches out to stroke Jesse’s face, but pulls her hand back before he sees her.) You know, that I ca…that I can’t keep living like this, that there’s gotta be something more to love than commitment. But then I think that…I might have given up…on the whole idea of romantic love. That I…I might have put it to bed that…that day when you weren’t there. You know, I think I might have done that.

Wong Kar Wai’s latest:”My blueberry nights”;

very simple love story;

some lines are great;

though some scenes were a bit contrive;

im not a hopeless romantic;

nonetheless, i believe people emerged from countless experience/failure to be a person capable to love;

funny how people always look around and stick with things that they’re familiar with, e.g.: the usual cafe, the usual shop, etc;

and yet they get sick of routine.

真的要这样？

我还没有做好准备；

但是如果事事都可以让你做好准备的话；

那时候已经太迟了；

那天我不知道要怎么做；

我只是记得；

我抱着他；

Jesse: No, no, no…I mean, the only happiness I get is when I’m out with my son. I’ve been to marriage counseling, I’ve done things I never thought I would have to do. I lit candles, bought self-help books, lingerie…

Céline: Did the candles help?

Jesse: HELL. NO. (Plaintively.) Alright, I don’t love her the way she needs to be loved, and…I don’t even see a future for us. But then I look at…at my little boy, sitting at the table across from me, and I think I would have suffered any torture to be with him for all the minutes of his life. You know, I don’t wanna miss out on one. But then…there’s no joy, or laughter, in my home. You know, and I don’t want him growing up in that!

Céline: Oh, no laughter? That’s terrible. My parents have been together for 35 years and even when they have a bad fight they end up laughing like crazy.

Jesse: I just…I don’t wanna be one of those people who are…getting divorced at 52 and falling down into tears admitting that they never really loved their spouse, and they feel that their life has been (waves his hand, as if being pulled) sucked up into a vacuum cleaner! You know, I want a great life. I want her to have a great life. She deserves that! Alright? But we’re just living in a pretense of a marriage, responsibility and all these…just…ideas of how people are supposed to live. Then I…I have these dreams…

Céline: What dreams?
