One minute friends
Yuddy: You look really special today.
Li Zhen: What? There is nothing special.
Y: Nothing? Why are your ears red?
L: What do you want?
Y: I just want to be friends with you.
L: Why should I?
Y: Look at my watch.
L: Why should I?
Y: Only for one minute, ok?
Li looks at his watch during one minute!
L: Time is up. Speak now.
Y: Today is…
L: 16th.
Y: 16th… April 16th, 1960. One minute before 3 pm. You are with me. Because of you I’ll remember this one minute. From now on, we’re friends of one minute. This is fact, you can’t deny it, because it is past.¹
