(Jerry went in the pub again)
JERRY: (sees a girl drinking by herself and looks drunk) Miss, don’t drink so much. You’ll get into trouble.
GIRL: (in a drunken tone) I just want to get into trouble.
JERRY: (laughs) Crazy! I’ve got a girlfriend!
GIRL: So what? I also have a boyfriend! (Cries) But my boyfriend...
JERRY: Huh?
GIRL: (Cries louder) He is married...
JERRY: (laughs) Ha? Such a coincidence?My girlfriend is also attached with someone else...(Laughs continuously)
GIRL: (laughs in a drunken manner) That means we are in the same boat?
JERRY: (In a drunk tone) Oh...Yes...
GIRL: I’m really miserable.I’ve waited 3 years for him.Still must wait...
JERRY: Oh I see? Don’t use the word ‘wait'to describe it la... you should enjoy the times you are together with him... Do you understand?
GIRL: (laughs in a silly manner) Emmm... Don't know why... I think you are really charming...
JERRY: (laughs) there is no reason for it... I know I sure have my charms...
GIRL: (laughs) Don’t try to act cool! If you are so good, then you should get to know other girls...
JERRY: (thinking about Fion) Heaven has given me such an uneven pave... No matter what I have to give it a try.
GIRL: (smiles) Oh? Man will surely triumph over heaven, right?
JERRY: (smiles) Better than you keep waiting...
GIRL: Ya...
JERRY: So you’re a 3rd party lor?
GIRL: Aren’t you one now too?
JERRY: (forces a smile) I... I did not request my girlfriend to break up with her boyfriend.On the contrary, if they break up, I’ll have to reset my judgment of my girlfriend... If she is one who looks for new things and discards the old ones, in future she can’t give me security feel la... Furthermore, being a 3rd party is no kidding matter... The name will stick with you forever...
GIRL: (drunk) Emmm, you are right. That certainly sounds reasonable. I’m so drunk... And feeling so dizzy…Can I... sleep over at your place tonight?
JERRY: (in a drunk tone) You are drunk, go home la... We’ll meet if fate decrees us to. Take it easy.
GIRL: You...rejected me...
JERRY: Ya, ya... That’s it, Bye...
GIRL: Bye...
JERRY: (To Tom) Tom, I’m going... (walking unsteadily)
BARTENDER/TOM: Hey, be careful. Watch your steps.You are so drunk...
JERRY: See you! Bye!

(The next day) (At Fion's place)
FION: Jerry, I'm sorry for yesterday night... Thanks for acting in a delicate way...
JERRY: (smiles) I don’t want to put you into a difficult position...
FION: You are so good to me, what should I do?
JERRY: Be better to me lor...
FION: (seriously) Sure. I think I owe you too much,I can’t repay you enough in one lifetime...
JERRY: (sighs) Oh... Don’t think it that way... Perhaps I’ve mean to you in our last life, and I’ll need to repay you doubly this lifetime?
FION: (smiles) Seriously, if you meet a girl you like, just go ahead with it. I think... it’ll be fairer to you that way...
JERRY: (seriously) (holds her hand) Let me tell you, you’ll better stop making all these irresponsible remarks... I’ll feel so hurt... From the start I know I will never give you up... I’m fully aware of your relationship with Lik Hang... If, one day, touchwood, we were to part, I know it’s not because of Lik Hang...
FION: (sad but childishly) We won’t! I hope that we could be together forever...
JERRY: But you are unhappy every time you meets me...
FION: Why do you say that?
JERRY: You know it... Every time you meets me, it’s because you’re unhappy...
FION: I’ll be angry...
JERRY: Just joking with you. Sorry.
FION: In my aspect, there is no number 1 or number 2 for you and Lik Hang... I love Lik Hang... As much as I love you... The difference between you two is only that I got to know him earlier... I’ve never treated you as a substitute...
JERRY: That means you are not fair la...
FION: I think you also don’t want me to be a person who always prefer new things to old ones?
JERRY: Then are you considered greedy?
FION: Do you mean you want me to choose only you?
JERRY: Emmm, I think we’ll switch topics... Do you know what is going on the 28th next week?
FION: (smiles) Emmm, I have a good memory…Our 3 months anniversary...
JERRY: (glad she remembered it) Yes! So fast 3 months already! How do you want the celebration to be?
FION: Emmm, you’ll arrange it.
JERRY: This is also called irresponsible!
FION: (Rebukes) When have you heard of girls arranging the programmes for these celebrations?
JERRY: Men and Women are equal now... Girls can also be fickle-minded...
FION: (a bit guilty) Aren’t you being a bit sarcastic?
JERRY: (Pacifies her) Don’t be angry la...
FION: There will not be a next time...
JERRY: Hey, wait... How do you want it to be ? It’s 3 month’s anniversary wor...
FION: Emmm, I’ll try your cooking skills... Can you cook?
JERRY: Emmm, it’s my forte. I’m the culinary prince, you know?
FION: Really that great? I really underestimated your abilities...
JERRY: I will specially whip up a few dishes, Western plus Eastern, making up of my love for you...
FION: (smiles sweetly) Let’s see how...
JERRY: Then it’s decided, the 28th.
FION: Ok, no problem. (phone rings) Sorry, I’ll pick up the call. (walks away)
JERRY: Ok.
FION: (to Lik Hang on the line) (stutters) Ya, having my dinner... With Sam...
