FADE IN:
INT. CLINIC - DAY
PETER consults his DOCTOR (50).
PETER
Doc, just then I got off
at Heng Fa Chuen station!
I've come here once every
16 weeks for years now.
I'm getting senile.
The doctor observes Peter.
PETER (Cont'd.)
I've begun working by
six o'clock today and my
day's highlight is to see
you!
DOCTOR
You aren't forgetful. You
did remember to come
to Chai Wan. Your brain's
storage capacity, like a
computer hard drive might
be full. When you delete
some information, you
revive your memory again.
PETER (V.O.)
That's true. Memories
just fade. If I really forget,
I can't remember to get
off at Chai Wan at all!
Peter nods.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Doc, my another symptom
is that I feel pressure all the
time. It's pressure to me
if I do no work. It's also
pressure to me when I've
to work!
The doctor slides on a blood pressure measuring cuff around Peter's upper arm and then inflates it.
DOCTOR
Measuring 120/80, normal!
Perhaps you need a good
break to enjoy what makes
you really happy...
PETER
(Excited)
Oh, yes! I want to pay a
a visit to my classmate
whom I last met in 1987.
He lives far away, but I'd
regret it if I don't make
an effort to see him
again.
The doctor smiles.
DOCTOR
(Authentically)
Every day, you must think
of doing something that
makes you happy. And,
you must forget the
unhappy matters as
quickly as possible.
Peter's eyes roll upwards.
PETER
This's my main takeaway
for this afternoon's
consultation! I must
try to forget matters
that generate stress in
me!
Peter thanks the doctor and leaves.
EXT. MINIBUS STOP - DAY
With his iPhone in hand, Peter follows the queue.
FLASHBACK
INT. STUDY - DAY (YESTERDAY)
Peter talks to somebody with a Nokia mobile.
PETER
(To phone)
My computer storage
is full too. It can't
backup my iPhone.
I've decided I don't
need to back up. I
just want to reset
my phone as new
let its memory
crash go away!
Following instructions from over the phone, Peter taps his iPhone 8+: "Setting", "General", "Reset" and then confirms it.
PETER (V.O.)
As a hoarder, this's
my very bold step
to take!
Black screen. Then, the Apple logo. Then, "Hello"... Having fixed a few things, Peter taps: "Setting", "General", "iPhone Storage" .
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Ha ha! "24.7 GB of
256 GB Used". It was
full. Using just 10% of
the storage space, I
get all I want to do
with this iPhone.
RETURN TO PRESENT
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
My brain might be
similar. There's a limit
to everything. Let me
begin to delete first.
EXT - MTR - DAY
Crowded. Peter's iPhone rings.
CALLER (O.S.)
(From phone)
Counsel, are you in
Hong Kong? Can you
talk now?
PETER
Yes, if you don't mind
I'm inside a MTR train...
Peter then engages in the telephone conversation.
PETER
... Okay, bye now.
Peter follows the crowd exiting from the train.
PETER (V.O.)
Hang on... this isn't the
Admiralty station...Oh,
it's only the Wanchai
station...I meant to go
back to chambers and
not to my former office.
Another memory crash!
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
But I've got better
this time as I detected
the memory crash before
leaving the station! Let
me only remember
matters that wouldn't
bother me!
INT. SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT
Peter swims freestyle swiftly.
PETER (V.O.)
Since I've made up my
mind to delete unwanted
stuff in my brain, I feel
mentally refreshing too!
FADE OUT. The End
