2046

Chow Mo-wan:
When you don't take "no" for an answer, there is still a chance you'll get what you want.

Chow Mo-wan:
I have a secret to tell you. Will you leave with me?

Chow Mo-wan:
Whenever someone asked why I left 2046, I always gave them some vague answer. It was easier.

Chow Mo-wan:
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.

Chow Mo-wan:
He didn't turn back. It's as if he boarded a very long train headed for a drowsy future through the unfathomable night.

Chow Mo-wan:
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.

Chow Mo-wan:
Take care. Maybe one day you'll escape your past. If you do, look for me.

Chow Mo-wan:
As I recall, that's the very last time we saw each other.

Chow Mo-wan:
In love you can't bring on a substitute.

Chow Mo-wan:
When the Peony blooms, she stands tall. Does she mean no or yes?

Chow Mo-wan:
Do you remember you asked me if there was anything I wouldn't lend? I've given it a lot of thought and now I know there is one thing I'll never lend to anyone.

Chow Mo-wan:
Love is all a matter of timing.

Chow Mo-wan:
I slowly began to doubt myself.

Bai Ling:
Why can't it be like before? Please don't go. Stay with me tonight. Let me borrow you.

Tak:
I once fell in love with someone. After a while she was gone. I couldn't stop wondering if she loved me or not. I went to 2046 hoping to find her there. But I never found her.

Tak:
I want to know how you feel. I'm scared to hear your answer but, I need to know. Do you like me? Or not. Leave with me.

Tak:
Let's see each other again. Then, if you think we shouldn't be together, tell me so frankly... That day, six years ago, a rainbow appeared in my heart. It's still there, like a flame burning inside me. But what are your real feelings for me? Are they like a rainbow after the rain? Or did that rainbow fade away long ago?...

Tak:
Do you know what people did in the old days when they had secrets they didn't want to share? They'd climb a mountain, find a tree, carve a hole in it, whisper the secret into the hole and cover it up with mud. That way, nobody else would ever learn the secret...

Mr. Wang:
Our cabin attendants are superbly designed... But there's only one problem : when they've served on so many long journeys, fatigue begins to set it. For example, they might want to laugh, but the smile would be slow to come. They might want to cry, but the tear wouldn't well up till the next day...

Bai Ling:
I don't get it. Where does all that fun get you? If you find the right person, why waste time on the others?

Chow Mo-wan:
If I find the right person? A man like me has nothing much except free time. That's why I need company.

Bai Ling:
So people are just time fillers to you?

Chow Mo-wan:
I wouldn't say that. Other people can borrow my time too.

Bai Ling:
And tonight? Are you borrowing me, or am I borrowing you?

Chow Mo-wan:
No difference. Maybe I borrowed you earlier, now you're borrowing me.

Bai Ling:
Ridiculous.
