Cop 223

Any canned pineapple that expires on May 1?

You know what day it is today?

Cop 223

April 30?

Right. You think we sell outdated stock?

Cop 223

There's still two hours to go.

Nobody would buy it. Get a fresh one.

Cop 223

People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?

Buddy, I only work here. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading... How I wish cans wouldn't expire! It'd save me loads of work. You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!

What are you doing in my apartment?

Faye

You asked me to visit.

Cop 663

Cop 663

Wherever you want to take me.

Cop 663

You like noisy music?

Faye

Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.

Cop 663

You don't like to think? What do you like?

Faye

Never thought about it.

Faye

I'm not daydreaming.

Right. You're not daydreaming. You're sleepwalking.

I told you 633 is a ladies man.

It's 663!

Oh, whatever it is.

Cop 663

Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn't expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up.

Cop 663

Actually she did go to California that evening. But it was the other one.

Cop 223

Lulu? This is Qiwu. Want to come out for a drink? You're in bed already? This early? You were asleep? Never mind. Bye. Chieko-san? Guess who? This is Qiwu. That's right. Want to come out for a drink? Your husband? When did you get married? Five years! Has it been that long? You have two kids! You're happy, that's great! Okay, never mind. Is Kong Siu-wai there? This is He Qiwu.

Change of flight. Your place cancelled. Here's your key. Bye.

Cop 663

You mustn't let yourself go. You've gained weight so fast. She may have gone but life goes on. You must stop indulging yourself. [to new towel] You're a real disappointment to me. You've changed so much. You can't just switch personality like this. Her walking out is no excuse. [as it drips] It was such a relief when I saw it crying. It may look different, but it's still true to itself. It's still an emotionally charged towel.

Woman in blonde wig

Actually, really knowing someone doesn't mean anything. People change. A person may like pineapple today and something else tomorrow.

Cop 223

Cop 223

Do you... like pineapple?
