:26:00
After she left. her elder
sister got into trouble too
:26:03
Hey. have a word with
your boss for me
:26:05
I'm a bit late with the rent
:26:06
Anyway. he has my deposit
:26:08
Mr. Chow. tell him yourself
:26:11
He's in a foul mood these days
:26:13
What's eating him?
:26:14
First. one daughter ran away
:26:16
Now the other one's in hospital
:26:18
That's why he's so angry
:26:19
Why is she in hospital?
:26:21
He wouldn't say. he was
quite strange...
:26:23
Steer clear of him!
:26:25
So. that's it?
:26:27
Anyhow. give him my invitation
:26:28
It's my father's birthday banquet
:26:30
He can deduct his gift
from the rent I owe
:26:35
Later they imposed a
curfew in Hong Kong
:26:39
Home-made bombs caused panic
:26:41
The economy stopped dead
:26:45
I stopped going out
:26:48
Some thought I was a
reformed character
:26:50
Actually. I was writing
:26:52
A story called 2046
:26:55
All about men and women
looking for love...
:26:57
...risking everything to
get to a place called 2046
:27:00
What's that?
:27:02
Let's go to...
:27:05
2046.
:27:06
I made it as bizarre and erotic as
possible. without crossing the line
:27:10
The readers liked it
:27:13
Some didn't take to the
science-fiction angle
:27:17
But all '2046' meant to me was...
:27:18
...the number of a hotel room
:27:24
I made up the whole thing
:27:26
But some of my own experiences
found their way into it
