Bai Ling: "So people are just time fillers to you?"
Chow Mo Wan: "I wouldn't say that. Other people can borrow my time to."
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."

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...?"

"In love you can't bring on a substitute."
