- PAUL: Before? Did something happen?
- HOSTESS: Yeah, things happen. But his love will never die.
- PAUL: Have you ever met someone, and, it'd be like, even though you've only known them for a short time, it's like something you've never experienced before? Like, I dunno, like you're in heaven and, like nothing else on earth really matters?
- HOSTESS: No.
- [pause]
- HOSTESS: Because there is too much on this earth that does matter. Family. Friends. Ourselves.
- HOSTESS: Love's a luxury not everyone can afford.

- TAXI DRIVER: Are you Christian?
- PAUL: Er, yeah, I guess. Why?
- TAXI DRIVER: Chinese religion better.
- PAUL: Why do you say that?
- TAXI DRIVER: When Christians die, they all become angel and go to heaven, is it? But in Hong Kong, when our relatives die they all stay with us. Become ghosts.

- PAUL: Sorry. Why are you telling me this?
- TAXI DRIVER: You look lonely.
