 Film/TV title: In the Mood for Love
Character name: Chow Mo-wan
Quote(s): "Feelings can creep up just like that. I thought I was in control."
"In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did? They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever."
"It's me. If there's an extra ticket... would you go with me?" |  Fim/TV title: Chungking Express
Character name: Cop663
Quote(s): [to a bar of soap] "Since she left, everything in the flat is sad. Everything needed lulling to sleep."
"You've lost a lot of weight, you know. You used to be so chubby. Have more confidence in yourself."
[to a threadbare wet dishcloth] "You have to stop crying, you know. Where's your strength and absorbency? You're so shabby these days."
"I thought we'd stay together for the long haul, flying like a jumbo jet on a full tank. But we changed course."
[finds his apartment flooded] "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."
[to new bar of soap] "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."
[after his date fails to meet him at the California restaurant in Hong Kong] "Actually she did go to California that evening. But it was the other one."
"On board every flight, there's one stewardess you long to seduce."
[to a shirt] "Lonely? You look a mess. Cold? I'll warm you up."

Character name: Broken Sword
Quote(s): "Is the sword the only answer?" |  Film/TV title: 2046
Character name: Chow Mo-wan
Quote(s): "When you don't take "no" for an answer, there is still a chance you'll get what you want."
"I have a secret to tell you. Will you leave with me?"
"Whenever someone asked why I left 2046, I always gave them some vague answer. It was easier."
"I once fell in love with someone. I couldn't stop wondering if she loved me back. I found an android which looked just like her. I hoped she would give me the answer."
"He didn't turn back. It's as if he boarded a very long train headed for a drowsy future through the unfathomable night."
"Everyone who goes to 2046 has the same intention, they want to recapture lost memories. Because in 2046 nothing ever changes. But, nobody knows if that is true or not because no-one has ever come back."
"Take care. Maybe one day you'll escape your past. If you do, look for me."
"In love you can't bring on a substitute."
"Love is all a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late. If I'd live in another time or place... my story might have had a very different ending."
"I slowly began to doubt myself. Maybe the reason she didn't answer was not that her reactions were delayed but simply that she didn't love me. So at last, I got it. It's entirely beyond my control. The only thing left for me... was to give up." |  Film/TV title: Infernal Affairs

Quote(s): "Do you know the difference between drinking wine and drinking water? The more wine you drink, the warmer you'll get. Water will only make you feel cold."

Quote(s): "You always called me Big Brother, I said being friends was enough. Among friends, rank is irrelevant."
"You're pointing a gun on a good friend you've known for more than a decade!"

Character name: Li Yilong
Quote(s): "Often, if one loves too deeply, it is intoxicating, If one hates too long, the heart is easily shattered, The most painful experience in life, however, is waiting. I don’t know how long she waited. I thought all along I would never see her again. Suddenly, I didn’t know what to say, I couldn't figure out how to say ... to tell her I really love her." |
