About Me

  1. FADE IN


  2. Act 1


  3. EXT. ROADS OUT OF TOWN - 14:30


  4. PETER is driving his numeric blue SMART Pulse.


  5. PETER (V.O.): It's a sweet and swift car.


  6. Pausing.


  7. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): When I had first sight of the numeric blue paint, I fell in love with it.


  8. Pausing.


  9. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In 2003, I ordered it without testing it.


  10. Pausing.


  11. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): To get my wife's endorsement, I promised I wouldn't have more than six cars.


  12. Pausing.


  13. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I haven't replaced any of them. My Nissan S13 is older than my elder son...


  14. Act 2


  15. FLASHBACK


  16. INT. TRANSPORT DEPT OFFICE - 11:15 (EARLIER)


  17. Car licence renewal counter. Getting a licence from a STAFF, Peter looks happy.


  18. PETER (V.O.): I've stored my Eunos 30X in my NT home for many weeks.


  19. Pausing.


  20. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Having renewed its licence, my elder daughter has more options to try.


  21. Pausing.


  22. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): After getting her driving licence in Japan, she hasn't driven in Hong Kong yet.


  23. Pausing.


  24. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): She's flying back to Hong Kong with her boyfriend tomorrow. I'm going to pick them up.


  25. Pausing.


  26. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I thought she could drive the Pulse, but the two seater isn't Japanese design.


  27. Pausing.


  28. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Driving the 4-seat Eunos 30X should be good. She just has to adapt to the V-6 engine.


  29. Recalling.


  30. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In the early 1990s when I saw a somebody driving a Eunos 30X near Lake Geneva, I thought I should own one.

  33. RETURN TO PRESENT


  34. Stopping behind a white Tesla with the registration no. "AG16", Peter looks shocked.


  35. PETER (V.O.): For decades, my brother-in-law drove Volvos bearing the registration no. When his Dad passed away, he couldn't succeed the registration no.


  36. Pausing.


  37. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Anyhow, he has an alternative car registration no. of "16".


  38. Pausing.


  39. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): About such lucky car registration nos., I bid two in a public auction. Later, I instructed my wife to bid another two.

  40. Smiling.


  41. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): My former colleagues believed I was lucky to have them on my cars.


  42. EXT. CAR PARK - 16:00


  43. Driving his red S13, Peter sees a head-turning KID and overhears his remarks to his MUM: A sports car!


  44. PETER (V.O.): Getting older doesn't mean getting out of style.

  45. Pausing.


  46. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every time after I've parked it, I'd turn around to look at it as I walk away.


  47. Recalling.
