01 People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple?

02 The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away!

03 How do you think the can feels about that?

04 If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries.

05 Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.

06 Never thought about it.

07 Actually, really knowing someone doesn't mean anything. People change. A person may like pineapple today and something else tomorrow.

08 We're all unlucky in love sometimes. When I am, I go jogging. The body loses water when you jog, so you have none left for tears.

09 Would you let a person on board with a boarding pass like this? It's dated today, but it got blurred in the rain. I don't know where it's taking me. Do you?

10 Wherever you want to take me.

11 Since she left, everything in the flat is sad. Everything needed lulling to sleep.

12 Somehow I've become very cautious. When I put on a raincoat, I put on sunglasses too. Who knows when it will rain, or when it will turn out sunny?

14 We broke up on April's fools day, so I took it as a joke. I'm willing to humor her for a month.

15 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.

16 At the high point of our intimacy, we were just 0.01 cm from each other. I knew nothing about her. Six hours later, she fell in love with another man.

17 We split up on April Fool's Day. So I decided to let the joke run for a month.

18 You asked me to visit.

19 Actually, she did go to California that evening. But it was the other one.

20 Right. You're not daydreaming. You're sleepwalking.

21 I thought we'd stay together for the long haul, flying like a jumbo jet on a full tank. But we changed course.

22 Is Kong Siu-wai there? This is He Qiwu. We were classmates in grade four. You don't remember? Nothing, goodbye.

23 He has great business sense. First he sold me fish and chips, then the whole thing.

24 In May's eyes, I'm no different from a can of pineapple.

25 Change of flight. Your plane cancelled. Here's your key. Bye.

26 Somehow everything comes with an expiry date. Swordfish expires. Meat sauce expires. Even cling-film expires. Is there anything in the world which doesn't?

27 On board every flight, there's one stewardess you long to seduce.
