If I ever talked like that I'd be fired.
If I turned out the way it ended, my wife
would have something to say.

And so our most profoundly
banal sorrows turn heroic
with distance and humour.

But what of the ones to whom
this film is paean and biography?

What would he think,
riding his Yamaha
into the Jurong sunset,
beloved ah lian in tow, of how

to get the audience in
and pass the censors
to hear his story

you had to include gratuitous
star cameos, interrupt
his consummations?
