00:00 Surprise!
00:01 You are going to Taipei!
00:03 Like Taiwan?
00:04 We want to give you something special.
00:06 It's going to be the perfect summer.
00:08 Hi!
00:08 Hi.
00:09 I'm Sophie Ha, like, haha!
00:10 I'm Ever.
00:11 Do you go to college?
00:12 Um...
00:13 Are you excited for this summer?
00:14 I don't know.
00:14 See any guys you like?
00:15 Do you not like to talk?
00:16 Um...
00:17 I don't really know if excited is the right word.
00:20 You are here to learn and experience your cultural heritage.
00:27 Parents send their kids here because they think it's a cultural program,
00:30 but we're all here because we know what it really is.
00:32 Stop!
00:33 One big party.
00:34 This is Ever.
00:37 You should ask Ever out.
00:38 You're single, and she struggles with social skills and making friends and stuff like that.
00:42 It's perfect.
00:43 What?
00:43 Catch you later, Ever.
00:45 Bye...
00:45 Rick.
00:47 Maybe this trip is your chance to let loose for a change.
00:52 Live a little.
00:53 Looks good.
00:54 I didn't mean to scare you.
00:55 I'm Xavier.
00:56 Ever.
00:56 Forever Ever?
00:57 Where are you going?
01:00 Out.
01:00 What about curfew?
01:01 Hey, Ever. Remember that crazy fun night when you followed the rules?
01:04 No.
01:05 Exactly.
01:05 'Cause no one ever remembers those nights.
01:07 Wow.
01:10 The city is just...
01:11 Incredible.
01:12 Yeah.
01:13 Party, baby! Let's go!
01:15 Ever!
01:20 We have chow lon bao?
01:20 Hot chow mandarin!
01:21 It's getting a lot better.
01:22 I'll make a Chinese worg in your ride.
01:23 Yeah.
01:25 Um...
01:25 Gotta go.
01:25 Love you.
01:26 Bye-bye!
01:26 Bye!
01:27 Right now in life, it feels like I'm torn between two of everything.
01:32 When I'm with you, I'm more me than I've ever been.
01:35 I don't know what I want.
01:37 You're so thin.
01:38 You worry so much about the life that you want.
01:41 You never take the time to appreciate the life that you have.
01:44 Here we are.
01:51 It's one of my favorite spots.
01:55 This is a love letter to a place that I never knew eight weeks ago.
01:59 Now, it's part of me.
02:00 What now?
02:11 I mean, forever, ever?
02:12 If I just let go.
02:15 [FOREVER]
