What was the destination on that boarding pass? They are excited to see each other, but Cop 663 has only one question for her. There she finds Cop 663, who has purchased the snack stand. Except it doesn't belong to her cousin anymore.

She's walking through the streets of Hong Kong and ends up at her cousin's Midtnight Express. The next time we see Faye, she has luggage and is decked out in a flight attendant uniform. She talks about deciding to go visit the real California. We go to Faye, who it turns out did go to the California, but missed Cop 663. The destination has been blurred out by the rain. He dries it out in the rotating hot dog rack in the convenience store and sees that it's a handwritten boarding pass. He throw's Faye's letter in the trash, but decides to go back and pick it out in the midst of a rainstorm. They have a pleasant, flirtatious encounter, and she runs out to get on a man's motorcycle. He leaves, goes to a convenience store, and runs into his ex. The manager from the Midnight Express shows up to hand Cop 663 a letter Faye wanted to pass along. He's smoking alone at the bar, having been stood up. He finds a nice plaid shirt in his closet and puts it on, and we see him later at the California, where he's supposed to meet Faye for a date. She seems vexed, but later when the Midnight Express is crowded, she seems ecstatic in her work for the first time.īack at his apartment, Cop 663 decides to put all of his ex's things in a box and get them out of his sight.

Really, though, he's there to ask Faye on a date. But Cop 663 shows up at Midnight Express for the first time in his while, asking her for his letter. He chases her around the apartment as she tries to hide. He returns home to find her there, and again she's startled and terrified. He talks to a bar of soap, a towel, a giant stuffed Garfield, and a shirt of his about needing to move on.Īnd like clockwork, Faye is back in his apartment doing chores. He thinks the sardines taste different (he doesn't know Faye rearranged the expiration dates), he finds a strange stamp on his mirror. Back at Cop 663's apartment, he becomes more observant.
#Chungking express faye wong series
What follows is a dazzling series of shots in the Midnight Express where everyone there is lighting the place by candles. Faye never paid that electricity bill, after all. He gets up, looks at her for a minute, and plops down on the couch next to her, joining in the nap.īack at the Midnight Express, the lights go out.

Faye passes out on his couch, and we watch Cop 663 nod off too, cigarette dangling from his mouth. But Faye knows that she left that CD at the apartment when she was there a few days prior. He takes out a CD and hits play on the CD player: it's "California Dreamin'" She asks if he likes the song and he says he doesn't, that his ex likes it. As soon as he's done, Faye tries to get out of the apartment, but he asks her to stay. We watch him massage Faye's legs, and she's huddled up, terrified. He invites her inside.Ĭop 663, over voiceover, talks about how he used to massage his ex's legs after she worked a long flight. She seems to be trying to escape, but is stuck in place, both deeply embarrassed but unable to pull herself away from his apartment. Why is she there, he asks? She goes an awkward explanation about buying goldfish.
#Chungking express faye wong full
Upon opening his front door to empty out a dustpan, he finds Faye with a bag full of goldfish. He sulks around smoking cigarettes with his shirt open, a masculine contrast to his emotional tenderness. He slowly dries out the apartment using a bucket. Cop 663 wonders to himself if he left the faucet running, or if his apart is sobbing, feeling the same loneliness and sorrow that he does. We watch a flip flop that Faye placed under the couch float out. He returns to find the place flooded, with several inches of water covering the floor. Cop 663 has a sudden feeling that his ex has returned to their apartment.
