I still can't forget these things, I know you think the smell of raw onion and garlic in my mouth, you stand back, don't smoke you. Piano teacher: (mixed feelings) Ah San...Third brother...(she puts her head on the iron lattice, sharply) I killed you... Boilerman: (touched) You call me Ah San?You call me third brother?

My life is worth it...
