  Fade in.
  INT – SUBWAY STATION
  We see a running train on the track from outside.
                                         
  INT - SUBWAY 
  Paning inside the train and focusing on a girl's face takes few minutes. Htwe Htwe, Asian,21, wearing black dress, sitting still with her eyes wide open, her feet bare and her smile posed. She's looking at a guy who stands just in front of her. From her point of view, we see everything in black and white, and we see the guy: LOU, Asian, 23, dressed in jeans and T-shirt, smiling at her. Htwe Htwe tries to say something, but Lou suddenly turns to left and becomes surprised. Follow his point of view, we see there're lots of people on this train, dressed and posed all differently. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ALL LOU. Lou turns back and looks at Htwe Htwe. Htwe Htwe seems confused about "this Lou" and "those Lou".
                                               
  INT – SUBWAY STATION
  We see the running train from outside again.
     
                                              FADE TO:
  INT - HTWE HTWE'S BEDROOM – DAYBREAK
  The noise of subway turns into the sound of alarm clock, and Htwe Htwe wakes up from the dream. She poses and dazes for a while then grabs the cell phone and dials a number.
  As we hear the ring...
  INT – LOU'S LIVING ROOM - DAYBREAK
  Lou
  lies on the couch and reads under the night-light. He hears the ring and picks it up quickly.
                        
                          Lou
              Hello?
                       
                       Htwe Htwe
              I just had a dream about you.
  INTERCUT BETWEEN HTWE HTWE AND LOU.
                          Lou
              What was it like?
                       Htwe Htwe
              Well, it was weird, ‘coz I saw lots
              of you on the same train.
                          Lou
              Were you also on the train?
                       Htwe Htwe
              Of course I was there, but ahhh...
                          Lou
              What?                  
                       Htwe Htwe
              I don't know... I was ... I guess I was smiling at
              you and you were smiling at me. We were sort
              of sharing and enjoying the moment, but suddenly
              I realized that there was something else, something sharp
              and real, and it was like ... stabbing. You know that feeling?
              I felt like being stabbed, right in my dream ... by bunch of
              you.                   
           
                          Lou (laughs)
              Bunch of me?
  
                       Htwe Htwe
              Yeah, I saw at least twenty of you on that train, and each
              one seemed so real, but it felt as if none of them was                     
              really you at the same time... 
                          Lou
              Hummm...so that's your story...
                       Htwe Htwe
              Well... how is your story?
                          Lou
              How is my story? How can I tell you? I have the idea, but
              I'm still missing a story.
                       Htwe Htwe
              How come?
                          Lou
              Well, have you ever felt like telling people something
              badly, but you don't know how to start? That is what I'm
              feeling right now.                                                          
  INT – SUBWAY STATION
      
  We see the running train.
  
  INT – LECTURE HALL, COLLEGE – DAY
  We see a room number – 107 – then the door is pushed open. We step in this large lecture room from back door and get closer and closer to a group of people who pose differently in the front. Stopping at a point, we hear a loud slap of the closing door. All the posed people turn to face the camera, and one of them walks forward. CHEN, Asian guy, 23, dressed sloppily.
                          Chen
              What happened? Where were you?
                       Htwe Htwe
              That's what I wondered about you this morning.
              (beat) Where were you for the whole night?
                          Chen
              Wait, am I being interrogated here? I called you in the
              morning, but your phone line kept being busy... for the
              entire morning! I told you we would went through the
              storyboard today before lunch time... 
  Chen
  checks his cell phone.
                          Chen (cont)
              ... and it's almost 1:00 in the afternoon right now.    
              (beat) Do I deserve any excuses, since I'm the director                        
              of this god damn video project?
                       Htwe Htwe
              See how easily you skipped my question.
                          Chen
              Well, fine, then just skip it! I was missing for a night, but
              what's the big deal? I only care about if my assistant's
              on time.
                       Htwe Htwe (almost screaming)
              I'm not just your assistant, I AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND!
  Chen calms himself for seconds and turns back to send the group away. After everyone left, he pulls at Htwe Htwe's hair softly.
                          Chen
              I'm sorry, I was just working last night.
                       Htwe Htwe
              On what? A girl? Was it the one I know, or it was a brand
              new one?
                          Chen
              Don't be silly. I was just working on the project. You know
              how serious I am about it. Besides, it's important to everyone
              in the group. Once we make it, we'll ...
           
                       Htwe Htwe
              We'll have a problem here, Chen.
                         
                          Chen
              We always have problems. Listen, can we just skip it?                      
  
                       Htwe Htwe
              Like what we did before? Everytime, Chen, everytime you
              wanna skip it. You can ignore our problems, but you can't
              ignore us.
                          Chen
              Sounds as if we are problems.
                       Htwe Htwe
              You are the problem!
  Htwe Htwe gets angrier, but Chen suddenly grabs her close and grins cheekily.
                       Htwe Htwe (struggles)
              What the hell you are doing?
                          Chen (kisses her)
              You look cute when you are angry.
                      
                      Htwe Htwe (tries to be cool)
              Don't treat me like a kid. It won't work that often.
                          Chen
              Tell me what made you so busy in the morning? Who was
              with you on the phone?
                       Htwe Htwe
              Someone understands why I shouldn't suffer 
                          Chen
              It was a guy then.
                       Htwe Htwe
              Oh, shut up!
                          Chen
              Do I know him?
                       Htwe Htwe (pushes him away)
              Don't drive me nuts.
                          Chen (serious)
              Well, fine! If you don't want me to care, what can I do?
                       Htwe Htwe
              That's the way you care about me? You weren't in my
              apartment and you weren't at home yesterday night.
              That was the right time to care about my feeling.
                          
                          Chen
              Ok! I was with a girl who you knew about or not, I mean,
              whatever, and we made love. Is that what you wanna hear about?
             
                       Htwe Htwe
              What's the fun of hurting me?
      
                          Chen
              I didn't mean it. You made me say this. I just gave you
              what you were asking for.
                       Htwe Htwe
              Since when you became so shameless?
  
                          Chen (clod)
              I am who I was, and I'll be who I am.
  Htwe Htwe
  looks at Chen disappointedly.
                          Chen (peaceful)
              I’ll wait for you in the cafeteria after class.
      
  Chen
  grabs his canvas packable and poses to leave.
  Htwe Htwe
  throws herself into Chen's arms.
                       Htwe Htwe (cries like a child)
              Don't leave me like this. I love you.
                          Chen
              I have to run for the class. Upper Junior never skip classes.
                       Htwe Htwe
              We haven't talked for weeks.
                          Chen
              Then what? You wanna talk to me right before
              my class? Come on, don't be childish. Let me join my
              class. See, I'm almost late.
                       Htwe Htwe
              Chen ...
  
                          Chen (hugs her casually)
              I'll see you after class.
  Chen walks away. Through the closing door, we see Htwe Htwe sobbing, and then, we see the room number 107 again.
  
  EXT – BUS STOP – DAY
  
  The number 107 becomes the number of a bus stop at street corner. The camera pans down: Lou is waiting under the sign. His cell phone starts ringing. When he answers it, the screen shows both of Chen's and Lou's location.
                          Chen
              Hey, I'll be at your place in 10 minutes.
                           Lou
              Cool. But I'm leaving.
                          Chen
              What? What the hell are you leaving for?
                           Lou
              Milk.
                          Chen
              Shit, can't you leave for something more significant?
                          
                           Lou
              Like what? One day, I wake up in the morning and realize
              there's a drug dealer waiting for me right outside. So, hey,
              maybe I can grab some milk when I'm done with the deal.
                          
                         
                          Chen
             Don't try to be funny. You've been so good in that boring
             style.
  INT – LOU'S APARTMENT – DAY
  It's a small but nice studio. We hear someone opening the door.
  Chen
  strikes in and drops three packs of water on the floor.
                          Chen (gasps)
             When you said “just milk”, I did trust you.
  Lou
  following Chen steps in with two large brown bag in his arm.
                           Lou
             Move! Move! You block my way!
  Chen
  tries to dodge but bumps into Lou by mistake.
  They both fall down and drop things everywhere.
                         Lou/Chen
             Damn!
  They stand up and Chen looks around Lou's apartment which is clean and tide.
                          Chen
             You are gay!
                           Lou
             All right, before I sue you for that speech, help me
             pick up the stuff.
  
  INT – LOU'S KITCHEN – DAY
  It's a simple eat-in kitchen which has the whole set in cream color. The refrigerator is covered by bunches of designed magnets, and we can read only couple of them: “Let all the stupid people shut up!”; “Friends don't let friends get friends' haircut.” and “Spongepants Squarebob”. Panning all over the kitchen in soft jazz makes everything smooth and soft... until someone drops an empty box of pizza on the floor.
  Chen
  swallows pizza like something.
                         
                          Chen
             Can you turn off that lullaby?
  Lou
  steps out to the living room, and later we hear him turning off the music.
            
                          Chen
             Since when you pick up your childhood? That sounds like
             the music for prenatal education.You were crazed for crazy grunge,
             but now you are like Cary Grant.
                          
                           Lou
             I just wanna try something new.
  
                          Chen
             Please, don't cover it up.
                           Lou
             What?
                          Chen
             You are in love.
                           Lou ( slightly amazed)
             Well, sort of.
                         
                         Chen
             Is it the cyber girl you metioned last time?
                           Lou (sigh)
             Yes, it is her, although I hate that adjective.
                         Chen
             Are you serious? I mean, I'd never thought that you 
             would immerse yourself in cyber love.
                          Lou
             This is not cyber love, I mean we are ...
  Lou/Chen
  both pose for a while.
                          
                          Lou (dejected)
             Alright, it is. (beat) But, we are serious and we know
             what we are doing. I mean I can't argue that this is sorta
             cyber love, but it's not like those cyber love, you know what
             I'm saying?
                          Chen
             I do. But are you saying these to me or to yourself?
  Lou
  sits back and sighs.And at this moment, we hear his cell phone ringing. He leaves Chen alone and walks away to the living room to answer the call. We stay with Chen for a while,and hear some greeting talks from living room. Later, Chen walks to the living room also. Following him, we see Lou standing against us and talking on the phone. Chen pats him from behind and gives him a sign that he' gonna use the bathroom. After nodding, Lou turns to face us, and we have a SPLIT-SCREEN for both Htwe Htwe's and Lou's location. Htwe Htwe's at a bookstore.
                          Lou
             Where are you? You are supposed to be in class, aren't you?
                        Htwe Htwe
             Yeah, but I skip it.(she sighs)Hey, I just bought you a comic book.
              “Super Crayon”!
                          Lou
              “Super Crayon”? Excuse me, I'm 23 years old, and you just bought
              me a book of “Super Crayon”?
                       
                        Htwe Htwe 
              So you don't like it?
                          Lou
              Bring it with you on friday.
  Htwe Htwe giggles and looks around. Suddenly, she feels something and checks her cell phone: Chen's calling her.
  Switch into the SPLIT-SCREEN for Htwe Htwe's, Lou's and Chen's location.
  Chen
  holds up the cell phone and leans on the closed door of bathroom.
                        
                        Htwe Htwe
              Uh... Lou, I gotta go, my friends are waiting...(kisses) muah...miss
              you, and see you on friday.
                           Lou
              Alll...
  Htwe Htwe
  hangs up and switches into Chen's waiting-call.
                           Lou
              ...rrright.
  Lou
  lies down on the couch.
                         Htwe Htwe
              Hello?
                          Chen
              I almost hang up.
                         Htwe Htwe
              Where are you?
                           Chen
              I'm with a friend.I haven't seen him for couple of weeks.
                         Htwe Htwe
              Then why did you let me wait for you in cafeteria?
                          Chen
              What cafeteria?
                         Htwe Htwe
              Great, for the first time, you are not trying to pretend
              that you remember. You know what? Never mind, I
              guess I'm getting used to it.
                          Chen (smiles)
              I'm sorry, Htwe Htwe. I promise I'll...
  Lou
  knocks on the door and pushes it open. He finds out Chen's on the phone.
                           Lou 
              Oh, I'm sorry.
  As he close the door, his section withdraws from the SPLIT-SCREEN.
                          Chen
              Where are you, Htwe Htwe? I'll pick you up.
  INT – HTWE'S HTWE'S BEDROOM – NIGHT
  Chen/Htwe Htwe
  both sit on the carpet and read books.
  Chen
  laughs like a drain.
                         Htwe Htwe
              What's so funny?
                            Chen (reads)
             Check this: According to the lastest investigation, 8% of men will
             take shower after making love; 7% will go to sleep; and what will
             the rest of 85% do? They will have to run back home!
  Chen
  laughs aloud. He turns around to see Htwe Htwe. Htwe Htwe is not laughing.
                            Chen
             Don't you think it's funny?
                         Htwe Htwe (pretends as if she just realized)
             Oh, it's supposed to be a joke?
                            Chen (listless)
             What do you wanna say?
                         Htwe Htwe
              Well, there's nothing funny for me, because it's realistic.
                             Chen
              It is a JOKE.
                         Htwe Htwe
              Then it's realistic joke. You know, MEN!
                             Chen
              No, I don't know. Tell me. MEN?
                          Htwe Htwe
              Well, it's much easier for men to betray the basis of relationship.
                             Chen
              What? Excuse me, but, first of all, what's that basis of relationship
              you are talking about. And, secondly, I don't think women are
              that innocent at all.
                          Htwe Htwe
              Ok, answer A: the basis of relationship is loyalty and honesty...
                             Chen
              Wohoho!
                          Htwe Htwe
              You got any problem with that?
                             Chen
              No, I dare not.
  Htwe Htwe
  looks at Chen scrupulously.
                             Chen
               Alright, for me, the basis of any relationship is desire, or
               let's say NEED.
                          Htwe Htwe
             NEED? (beat) Are you telling me that you are here with
             me because you NEED me, but not you LOVE me?
                             Chen
             What's the difference?
                          Htwe Htwe (sighs)
             It's way different.
                              Chen (holds Htwe Htwe's shoulder)
             Silly, it's all about how you look at it. For me,
             Need is something much more perpetual than Love.
                   
  Htwe Htwe
  raises her face to look at Chen. We see her face closely and clearly and her eyes wide open, then, she starts smiling sweetly and innocently. We step backward and find out we are in the subway.
  INT – SUBWAY
  Htwe Htwe
  wears black dress, sits still with her eyes wide open, her feet bare and her smile posed. She's looking at a guy who stands just in front of her. From her point of view, we see Lou dressed in jeans and T-shirt, smiling at her. Htwe Htwe tries to say something, but Lou suddenly turns to left and becomes surprised. Follow his point of view, we see there're lots of people on this train, dressed and posed all differently. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ALL LOU. Lou turns back and looks at Htwe Htwe. Htwe Htwe seems confused about "this Lou" and "those Lou".
  INT – SUBWAY STATION
  We see the running train slowing down. It makes a big noise when it stops on the track. We see people's feet walking around randomly. Later, the door slides closed. We see the empty floor of the station, and Lou's sneaker stepping away.
  EXT – STREET – DAY
  Lou walks up to sidewalk. He looks across the street, and see Htwe Htwe just coming out from the subway station. They both stand still and look at each other before crossing the street. At the right moment, everyone move in fast motion except Htwe Htwe and Lou walk in slow motion. At the time they reach each other, everything go back to normal.

                            Lou
            Why, you don't like it?
  INTERCUT BETWEEN LOU AND HTWE HTWE
                          Htwe Htwe
             No! You ruined my dream. I said you could borrow it for
             your story, but not to drivel like this. I mean, it's too
             monotonous, and I hate that fast motion and slow motion
             stuff. Arrrty!
                             Lou
             Eeewww...
                          Htwe Htwe
             Lou, this just doesn't like you ...
                             Lou
             Well, let's cheer up, it's not my version.
                          Htwe Htwe
             Huh?
                             Lou
             It comes from one of my friends. I wrote your dream down,
             and later he came to my place and saw it. He was like “ I
             love it, and maybe it can be more like this...” then...
                          Htwe Htwe
             Then we have this stupid story.
                             Lou
             It's not stupid. He's way better than me. He studies film in college,
              and I'm just a nobody.
                          Htwe Htwe
             Lou, what are you talking about? This story is even worse than
             your worst one. And you are saying he's better because he's
             some stupid college.Now I want my dream back...
                   
                             Lou
             Easy, I haven't say a thing about my story yet.
                          
                         Htwe Htwe
             So, what's your version?
  Lou
  stands up and walks toward the window. We see the reflection of his face on the window. After a short while, we see he's actually sitting next to the window of a train.
  INT – SUBWAY
  Lou sits still and looks at the window. It's all dark and deep outside. We see the reflection of people on the window from Lou's point of view. Later, he turns around, and we see all the people are sitting alone except a little girl who's giggling and playing around with her parents. The parents are sitting against us, but we can see the little girl clearly. She's cute and pure, running around the seats. She runs toward Lou and stops in front of him.
                             Lou
             Hi, little one.
  The little girl
  looks at Lou silently.
  The train stops and the parents take that little girls away.
  We see they leaving from their back.
                             Lou (V.O)
            At the moment, I realizes that they are human being...
  The train moves on. We see rest of the people in the train.
                             Lou
            ...while we are just individuals.

  Chen's reading some pages. He looks serious and slightly weird.
  Htwe Htwe looks at him expectantly.
                             Chen
                   Where did you get these pages?
                           Htwe Htwe
                   You like them?
                             Chen
                   Well, they are ok... (beat) where did you get them?
                           Htwe Htwe
                    From a friend.
                             Chen
                    I like the beginning, that dream.
                            Htwe Htwe (giggles)
                    That's my dream.
                             Chen (doesn't sounds surprised)
                    Oh, really? Wow!
                            Htwe Htwe
                    He borrowed my dream to tell his story. I like that repeating
                    scene the best. You know what? He's really talented in sorta
                    stuff.
                              Chen
                    Then he's major in film? Do I know him?
                             Htwe Htwe
                    Nah... he's not a college student.
                              Chen
                    He's not?
                             Htwe Htwe
                    Nope. I met him on line. But trust me, he's really talented.
                    I mean, so what if he's not a college student? He said he had
                             Htwe Htwe (cont)
                    a friend in college, and he made his version about
                    my dream also.
                               Chen
                    How do you like it?
                             
                              Htwe Htwe
                    It sucks. The worst one I've ever heard. Too arty, too fake.
                        
                              
                               Chen (sighs and waves the pages)
                    Right, I like this too.

                                 Lou
                    What happened? Why calling me so late?
                                Chen
                     How long have we known each other?
                                 Lou
                     ... what a question... are you drunk?
                                Chen
                     Forget it. Uh... how was my story about that dream?
                     You told you cyber girlfriend? She likes it?
                             
                                 Lou
                    Well, I guess so, 'cuz she said it was arrrt...tistic.
                                Chen
                     Oh, really?

                     Oh, yeah?
                                  Lou
                     She's making a project with her friends, and they
                     want me to help...
                                 Chen
                     Cool, Lou, listen, I gotta go. I'll call you later.
  Chen hangs up the phone and smokes harder.

  A train runs away and leaves a deep deep tunnel.
  People are all waiting for the next train.
  We see Lou's eyes closely. He looks quiet but tired. He looks around and focuses on a girl suddenly. It's Htwe Htwe. She sits not far away from him, peacefully and motionlessly. We see Lou looking at her from different sides. Htwe Htwe seems like feeling nothing.
  Here comes a train.
  People all gets on except Lou. He's just standing still and looking at Htwe Htwe.
  Htwe Htwe gets on the train and sits down beside the window.

              the following month, 'cuz I'll be very busy. I'm sorry...
                           
                            Girl (O.S)
             Chen ...
  Htwe Htwe reads comic book.
  Htwe Htwe lies on the couch and watches TV. She keeps clicking the remote control.
  Htwe Htwe takes shower.
  Htwe Htwe sits on bed and dazes.
  Htwe Htwe turns off the light.
  EXT – STREET – DAY
  Lou's waiting for the bus. He looks around and finds out Chen's walking toward him. However, he's not alone. He has a pretty girl in his arm. Meanwhile, Chen notices Lou also. He seems like slightly surprised and embarrassed, but it doesn't hold up his steps.
  He's coming closer and closer.
                           Lou
             Hey, what's up.
                          Chen
             Where're you going?
                           Lou
             I'm getting some milk.
  Chen
  smiles.
  Lou
  looks at that girl.
                          Lou 
             Your girlfriend?
                          Chen (smiles)
             I thought she was with you.
  Lou
  is stunned by what Chen said.
                         Chen
             Why that face? You knew it, didn't you?
                          Lou
              ...
                         Chen
             Since when?
  Lou
  stares at Chen.
  We see the FLASH-BACK of the SPLIT-SCREEN for Htwe Htwe's, Lou's and Chen's location. Lou knocks on the door and pushes it open. He finds out Chen's on the phone.
                           Lou 
              Oh, I'm sorry.
  As he close the door, it switch back to a complete screen for his own, and he hears Chen's talking.
                           Chen (O.S)
              Where are you, Htwe Htwe? I'll pick you up.
  We hear that “Htwe Htwe” repeats again and again.
  INT – SUBWAY STATION
  A train runs away and leaves a deep deep tunnel.
  We see only two people at the station: Lou and Htwe Htwe.
  Lou stands still when Htwe Htwe sits on bench which isn't far away.
  They pose still and look at each other.
                           Lou (V.O)
             What's your name?
                         Htwe Htwe (V.O)
             Htwe Htwe.
                           Lou (V.O)
             Huh? It doesn't sound like a Chinese name.
                         Htwe Htwe (V.O)
             My dad's from Burma, so he gave me a unique name.
                           Lou (V.O)
             What does it mean?
                         Htwe Htwe (V.O)
              Little girl.
  
                           Lou (V.O)
             Htwe Htwe...little girl... (beat) you are my only Htwe Htwe, and you
             are my only little girl.
  A train runs away and leaves a deep deep tunnel.
  INT – THE CORRIDOR OF CHEN'S APARTMENT – DAY
  We see a deep deep tunnel-like corridor and hear the sound of pressing steps.
  We see the apartment number 107, and someone striking in.
  Inside the apartment, Chen and that pretty girl are sitting together. They are both shocked and half naked.
  It's Htwe Htwe who strikes in. Chen stands up. They stare at each other.
  Suddenly, Htwe Htwe slaps Chen hardly.
  Chen keeps silent.
                         Htwe Htwe
             That's his story.
  Chen keeps quiet.
                         Htwe Htwe
              How can you just go Channel 7 like that? How can you just
              take everything all by yourself? THAT'S HIS STORY! From
              the first scene to the last. Everyone were watching, and you
              were like make his story as your own. He wins “the best original
              screen play”! Lou wins it! Not you!
                           Chen (screams aloud)
              He wins you!
                         Htwe Htwe
              He doesn't! You gave me up! Loser!
                          Shaoyi (O.S)
              CUT!
  Shaoyi, the director, walks into scene and send away the pretty girl. Following her, we see the camera, the stage property and the entire filmming group. We realize all actually happened in a filmming project.
                          Shaoyi
              Come here, Lou.
  Lou walks in to the scene.
                          Shaoyi (to people on the side)
             What do you guys say? I want a triangle right here.
                           Guy#1
             If we are still using that bird's view... yes, or ...
                           Guy#2
             Well, I like triangle better.
                          Shaoyi (to the actors)
             What do you guys think?
                            Chen (kidding)
             Arty, just like my first version.
                            Lou
             We can definitely give a try.
                           Shaoyi
             Ok, everyone, after the lunch break, we'll film the triangle scene.
  People all walk away randomly.
  INT – LOU'S APARTMENT – DAY
  Lou's lying on the couch when he hears the door bell ringing. He gets up slowly to open the door. It's Chen.
                            Chen
              Can I come in?
  Lou moves away from the door without saying anything.
  Chen walks in.
                             Lou
              If I were you, I would leave.
                            Chen
              Why?
                             Lou
              She's coming in any minute.
                             Chen
             Cool! I haven't seen her months.
  At this moment, Htwe Htwe strikes in, and runs to Lou directly.
                         Htwe Htwe (tries to hold him)
             Lou... are you ok?
  Lou walks away, and Htwe Htwe notices Chen.
                         Htwe Htwe (angry)
             What are you doing here?
                           Chen
             I'm visiting my friend.
                         Htwe Htwe
             He's not your friend anymore since you stole his work.
  Chen keeps quiet.
                         Htwe Htwe
              How can you just go Channel 7 like that? How can you just
              take everything all by yourself? THAT'S HIS STORY! From
              the first scene to the last. Everyone were watching, and you

              screen play”! Lou wins it! Not you!
                          Chen (screams aloud)            
              He wins you!
                         Htwe Htwe
              He doesn't! You gave me up! Loser! You were always cheating.
                          Chen
              Who wasn't?!
  Lou and Htwe Htwe stares at Chen.
                          Chen
              From the first time you told me the basis of relationship is loyalty and
              honesty, I felt like telling you this.
              Everyone is cheating, more or less, sooner or later. You feel like
              innocent yourself? Then why didn't you tell Lou that you have boyfriend?
                          Chen (cont; to Lou)
             You feel like yourself innocent, the why didn't you tell her that you knew 
             she had boyfriend?
  Htwe Htwe seems surprised. She stares at Lou who turns to somewhere else.
                          Chen
             It's all about NEED. Because you did need this silence to get what you
             need! So,don tell me what loyalty or honesty of relationship. IT IS ALL
             ABOUT NEED!
  INT – SUBWAY STATION

                         Htwe Htwe
             Do you love me, Lou?
                           Lou
             I do.
                         Htwe Htwe
             For real?
                           Lou
             Nahh... but I'm not lying...
  They stare at each other and smile.
  Fade out. [/watermark]

  汗……又是一个海外的姐姐……
  让我想起了在罗马的“程程”——还有在莫斯科的“秋天”——还有在新奥尔良的Johnny……
  忽然发现我的英文大有长进哟——虽然从来在英语课上都是睡觉——睡不着也要睡……不过1月8号就要考“四级”了……
  剧本的格式和国内的教学基本上相同的——讲的故事很“中国”。
