Thom Baker – Double-crossing drug dealer.Valerie Chow – Flight attendant who breaks up with Cop 663.Takeshi Kaneshiro – He Qiwu, nicknamed Ah Wu, Cop 223.Faye asks him where he wants to go with the boarding pass, and 663 says he'll go wherever she wants to take him. She doubts it and writes him up a new one. As Faye's about to leave, he gets the boarding pass she gave him a year ago, wrinkled and water-stained, and asks if anyone will accept it. 663 then asks if she can send him a postcard if she leaves, but she says he wouldn't read it anyway.
He asks her to stay for the grand opening in a couple of days, but she says she does not know if she can. She finds that the cop has bought the snack bar and is converting it into a restaurant.
In the last scene, Faye, now a flight attendant, returns to Hong Kong. Standing the cop up after a last-minute decision to see the world before settling down, she leaves him a boarding pass drawn on a paper napkin postdated one year later. Faye, however, never shows up for the date, and the snack bar's owner, who is her cousin, goes to the restaurant to tell the cop that Faye left for California. Gradually, her ploys help him to cheer up, and he eventually realizes that Faye likes him and arranges a date at the restaurant "California" (an actual place in Lan Kwai Fong at the time). She finally tells him of the letter, but he keeps delaying taking it or even reading it. The envelope also has a spare set of keys to the cop's apartment.įaye uses the keys to frequently break into his apartment by day to redecorate and "improve" his living situation. Everyone in the snack bar reads the letter, which is assumed to be the flight attendant's way of telling the cop that their relationship is over. She leaves a letter for the snack bar owner to give to the cop. The flight attendant waits for the cop around the snack bar, and finds out he is on his day off. He meets Faye, the new girl at the snack bar. In the second story, the unnamed Cop 663 is similarly dealing with a breakup, this time with a flight attendant. He then visits his usual snack food store where he collides with a new staff member, Faye. Qiwu goes jogging and receives a message from her on his pager wishing him a happy birthday. She leaves in the morning and shoots the drug baron (played by Thom Baker) who had set her up. He shines her shoes before he leaves her sleeping on the bed. However, she is exhausted and falls asleep in a hotel room, leaving him to watch old movies alone all night and order take-out food. On 1 May, Qiwu, looking for romance, approaches the woman in the blonde wig at a bar (the Bottoms Up Club). Meanwhile, a mysterious woman in a blonde wig (played by Brigitte Lin) tries to survive in the drug underworld after a smuggling operation goes sour. By the end of this time, he feels that he will either be rejoined with his love or that it will have expired forever. Every day he buys a tin of pineapple with an expiration date of 1 May. His birthday is on 1 May and he chooses to wait for May for a month before moving on. Qiwu's girlfriend May broke up with him on 1 April (April Fool's Day). The first story concerns Taiwan-born cop He Qiwu, also known as Cop 223. However, the three main characters from the second story each momentarily appear during the first. Except for a brief moment when the first story ends and the second begins, the two stories do not interconnect. The film comprises two different stories, told one after the other, each about a romance involving a policeman.
