An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)

Wang Jin: You can go wherever you want. Yes, you can. However, you'll find nothing different. I learned this when I've wasted most of my life away. So I have to sugar-coat it. There must be a difference.

Dean: Life just won't get better. It's all about agony. That agony has begun since you were born. You think that a new place will change your fate? It's bullshit. New place, new sufferings. You understand? No one truly knows about existence.

Yu Cheng: I feel relaxed with you.
Cheng's lover: It's not going to work between us.
Cheng's lover: We are not the same kind of people.
Cheng's lover: It will get us nowhere no matter how many time you try.
Yu Cheng: Then who is your kind?
Cheng's lover: Not you at least.

Wang Jin: What are you going to do when you find him?
Yu Cheng: He beat up a piece of trash, and that piece of trash is my brother. What do you think I should do?
Wang Jin: A piece of trash brother?
Yu Cheng: That's right.
Wang Jin: A piece of trash.
Yu Cheng: Yes.

Yu Cheng: My life is like a dumpster. Garbage keeps piling up. They come one after another. You can never clean it up.

Yu Cheng: He was paying for your vanity.

Yu Cheng: If you're standing on a tall building's balcony what would come up to your mind?
Wei Bu: I would think, what else I can do.

Yu Cheng: Sometimes when you smoke, your skin peels off and blood will remain on the cigarette. You see?
