You conned innocent housewives?
Why do you care?
"Mahjong Warrior"?
They are...
...my friends.
Their business
is my business!
West. Pong!
Green Dragon. Pong!
Mahjong.
"Self-Touch", "3 Lesser Scholars"
"3 Hidden Kongs".
You're kidding!
1 tile short!
You two are finished.
There's still me!
You're 1 tile short.
What do you mean?
Forgot to add a tile.
Will eight-fold be enough?
"Fine, but don't con any more people."
That'll kill our business.
I'll fight you to the end!
Should've listened to him.
Now we lost everything.
Who is he anyway?
"How did he come up with"81 Pairs"?"
"Thanks, buddies."
No parking. License please!
You've become homeless?
What do you do?
I asked what you do.
I play Mahjong.
So you're a drifter.
A loser!
What's in the bag?
Money.
Did you rob a bank?
Paying Mahjong pays more.
Mister! We need a player!
Give me 30 minutes.
How about sooner?
You live far away.
Mrs. So only needs 15 minutes.
Give me 14 minutes.
14 minutes? You'll speed?
Of course not!
$500! Where's the bathroom?
There. Thanks! Hurry!
Compulsive gambler!
Order please.
One egg sandwich and one milk tea. Hurry!
Yes.
Hurry!
Pong. Chow.
Pong. Kong.
Mahjong.
Hurry!
Who ordered food?
Thanks.
It's not yours!
Thanks.
Illegal parking.
What's wrong with you?
Woke up with a stiff neck.
Show me your tongue.
Your eye white.
You're okay.
You just sprained it.
I can help.
How?
East. Pong.
South. Pong.
West. Pong.
North.
Pong!
1 Bamboo.
"Need one more tile! "Four Happiness"!
Mahjong.
Damn you!
What's wrong with you?
You stole my win!
I can move again!
Let's play...
Told you I could help.
Can you cure my cold?
I'll make you exercise.
My eyes feel dry.
I know how to make you cry.
I don't cry easy.
Not even when my husband died.
Fine.
You are something!
Took you 8 losses to cry.
For most people 2 or 3 is enough.
Are you two feeling better?
"Yes, but you cost a fortune."
Good health is priceless.
Time's up. Your grandson is waiting.
Your son is waiting at school.
I have to clean this up before dinner.
I'll help you. Go.
Your son is alone at school.
Lock the door for me.
I'll sweep the floor too.
Leave my car alone!
I used to do this for you.
We broke up a long time ago.
I didn't want to! What's wrong with me?
You're a sore loser.
I'll quit Mahjong.
It has to do with your character.
What's wrong with me?
Why give up the stewardess job to become a cop?
To write you tickets.
See?
You have a problem.
I've changed. I'll prove it.
"Last time you said the same,"
but you almost beat up someone. Leave.
I won't. I swear.
Go now.
Return the bike.
You're not a good biker.
What if you get into an accident?
Need another player?
No problem. Wait.
You won't lose temper?
I'll give you a chance. Come!
What about the bike?
Leave it. You quit already!
Hurry.
Sis.
Sorry.
Relax.
The stakes are low.
Take it off.
That's not it. Actually...
He promised if I keep my temper
he'll marry me.
I said "re-united"
You don't mean marriage?
We can't just move in together.
What do I tell my parents?
Fine.
What do I tell my relatives?
Fine!
I'll marry you if you keep calm and win money.
9 Circles.
You just added another condition?
I want my wife to be a winning player.
Let's play.
That's a lot of conditions to satisfy.
What should I do?
But if you win you'll keep your temper.
Right. Winning never upsets me.
5 Bamboos.
But I've never beaten him once.
He'll clean me out.
5 Bamboos.
Come on.
3 Circles.
I don't have a chance.
3 Circles.
Give me a break.
A good hand won't help me.
Need Characters?
5 Characters. Pong.
Tipping her off?
Women help each other.
I agree. 3 Characters.
Pong.
What do you need now?
2 Characters? 4 Characters?
7 Characters. Pong.
I have 9 tiles.
"Clean Pairs" or "Honor Pairs"?
Let's see. "Honor Pairs".
Perfect. Green Dragon.
Mahjong!
Here's your wedding present.
Please come to the reception.
You two are something!
1 tile short.
You deserve it.
What do you have?
No. This tile is yours.
Right.
"Self-Touch"! Awesome!"
Pay up!
I'll get married!
You'll go on cheating?
More or less.
We have more tricks!
"Heaven's Grace"!
You manipulated the tiles!
Sure I did!
I'll deal the best hand to myself every time.
Don't try me!
You rather cheat than to marry me?
Am I that bad?
You don't respect the rules.
You're cheating.
Just like a thief!
It's not my fault!
These two stupid bitches did it.
Told you you're a sore loser.
They were helping you,
but you call them names.
"Bitch" is harsh, why add "Stupid"?
No one says that these days.
It's so childish.
Go to hell!
Jerk!
Good luck.
Is Mahjong the only cure?
You'll get fast results.
I hate the game.
It's to cure your mom's Alzheimer's disease.
Why do you care?
How about playing cards?
I'd recommend it to Westerners.
But Mahjong works for Chinese.
It's the national game.
How about Chinese checkers?
I'd recommend it to kids.
But kids don't have Alzheimer's disease.
Try it if you want.
Hop.
Hop. Hop. Hop.
Hop!
Don't eat the marbles. Spit them out.
Fay
Yes.
Call your friends to play Mahjong with mom.
Get us tea!
Yes Fay.
Who is he?
It's your deadbeat son.
Deadbeat son?
Pretend he never existed.
We're hungry. Order food.
What's the number?
Check the phone book.
"Deadbeat son"
Deadbeat son?
Deadbeat son. Write down the order.
Beef fried rice.
Mom?
Where are you?
Listen to me first.
I have more to order.
One satay beef with rice.
One beef stew with rice.
"It's your son, mom."
Wait! And one beef stew fried rice.
That's all.
I've been looking for you.
Where have you moved to?
My address is...
Don't remember.
Where's bro? Who's with you?
Fay.
Shut up! I lost again!
Fay's in a bad mood.
Ask your neighbor.
Hello?
No one's home.
Try look around. You see anyone?
Anyone?
There's no one.
Can you hear me?
Where are you?
"Mister, can you tell him my address?"
He's got food to deliver.
"Mom, are you all right?"
"No, not me."
Tell him.
Thanks.
Sorry mom.
I'm sorry for what I did.
Sorry.
Does 1 Bamboo complete your hand?
No?
No.
And 9 Bamboos?
9 Bamboos?
9 Bamboos...
Look carefully.
No...
3 Bamboos.
3 Bamboos?
Is it useful? No.
No?
Look carefully.
Take your time.
Yes it does!
Great! Mahjong!
3 Bamboos!
Mahjong! Pay up!
How much?
I don't know.
You taught me before.
Think.
How much is 2 ?
And 5 ?
"2 =64, 5/1=128, 1/2=256."
Why can't you remember?
Everyone knows how to play Mahjong.
You have to know the rules!
Mom.
It's all my fault.
I turned you into a compulsive gambler.
I'm sorry.
"I've changed, mom."
Compulsive gambler!
Please leave now.
Mom doesn't want you here.
She disowned you!
Who are you? Why throw my son out?
I'm your son.
I want to take care of her.
You did this to her!
Are you still a fulltime Mahjong player?
I want to be with mom!
How did your school exam go?
9 A's. Top of the class!
Got into college?
Full scholarship to study at M.I.T.
Got into the I.T. Business?
Started my Dot Com venture in '97
and bought a house.
This place? Looks expensive.
More than you think.
That's why you should study.
"Come on, bro,"
I still remember that tragic day...
"After you left behind the huge debt,"
the door bell rang.
3 Insolvency officers showed up at the door.
There was also a night watchman.
They went through my assets.
Counted how many eggs we had.
My underpants weren't spared.
They told me...
"Mister, your house has been re-possessed."
Please leave now.
Don't make things difficult.
Bro.
You and mom can come to my place.
Will it fit us all?
Sir.
Prepare the rooms.
It's beautiful!
"Mom, these are my friends."
Back so soon?
This is your new home.
At least one of my children made it.
Hard work pays for the future.
You deserve this house.
Your brother worries me.
He's addicted to Mahjong.
He's probably become a beggar.
"Mom, I'm changed!"
Good.
Say hi to your friends.
At least one of my children made it.
Hard work pays for the future.
You deserve this house.
Your brother worries me.
He's addicted to Mahjong.
He's probably become a beggar.
"Mom, you're killing me!"
Cheer up!
Study hard
and you'll be equally successful.
Fay
At least one of my children made it.
Perfect.
We need a genius like you
to design
a Mahjong computer game for players worldwide.
You're from Mahjong Institute?
It's Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Whatever. Can you start at 20 Grand?
Sure! But I don't play Mahjong.
"Then go see the "Mahjong Master"."
He knows all the rules.
But the Master is a recluse.
You have to show sincerity.
How? W ill a fruit basket do?
Be creative! Just bring cash!
Get off my playground!
This is our guy?
It's him.
Pretty good looking.
But he's an idiot.
Where is the Mahjong Master?
I came to ask him for help.
The Master chooses who he sees.
You have to be the chosen one.
"The" chosen one"?"
The one with money.
Japanese Yen is not bad.
American Dollar is the best.
I've got money.
The Master just stepped out.
Let's play a few games until he returns.
"Sorry, but I don't play."
We need one more player.
It's a matter of principle.
I don't play.
A few rounds won't kill you.
That's not the point.
It's a matter of principle.
It's really a matter of principle.
Shuffle the tiles!
It's a belief I abide to.
Do you understand?
It won't take you much time!
Time is not the issue.
It's a matter of principle.
What are you doing?
"What a coincidence, boss."
I came to observe you. You let me down.
This is an easy job.
Please listen to me.
I hate Mahjong.
Then quit.
20 Grand will find me a better guy.
Listen to me. I don't know the rules.
So you'll learn!
I'll help you.
Is this "Chicken Hand"?
Pong! 9 Characters.
Mahjong.
Wait for "Self-Touch".
9 Characters again.
Wait for a bigger hand.
"Self-Touch"! Discard North.
North.
9 Circles.
Mahjong. Wait.
Not big enough?
You already have "Clean Hands".
Wait for "Self-Touch".
9 Circles again. Should I call it?
Sure. Why not?
Mahjong.
He's lucky.
"To gain without effort"
Mahjong is a waste of time.
8 Bamboos.
But I had a pair.
Go for "13 Unique Wonders"
We only have 3 tiles.
Be ambitious!
I need 1 Circle.
East. Pong!
But I'm about to win.
"Sorry, got too excited."
You called already!
Go for "Four Happiness"
What?
Green Dragon? I have it.
Should I call "Self-Touch"?
Sure! You're a quick learner.
East. Kong.
South.
Kong.
Kong West.
Kong North.
Green Dragon?
Can I call Mahjong?
What do you think?
Sure.
Mahjong!
I'm designing a Mahjong game.
It features rules
from all different countries.
I hope you can be our consultant.
Master?
You've got small feet.
Got cash?
Of course.
Credit card?
There's 7.
Do they work?
Yes... They do.
Let's play!
"Son, this guy always draws a good hand."
Pick any 13 tiles.
Get to work.
I see. These are superstitions.
They'll give the opponent bad luck.
Very useful information.
Throw the dice.
Wait.
Cut the tiles.
Cut the tiles?
It's to mess up your opponent's hand.
I'll write this down.
Damn!
Nice hand.
I'll teach you Taiwan Mahjong.
The biggest difference is
we play with 16 tiles.
I'm 3 tiles short.
That's right.
Your good hand is useless now.
What did he have in round 1?
"Clean Pairs"
4 Circles.
Mahjong.
"Clean Pairs"
Pay up!
Cash. Enough?
How big are we playing?
Use the cards if cash runs out.
Show sincerity!
Another great hand?
Why so upset?
We now play Japanese Mahjong.
The difference is we play with 13 tiles.
I am 3 tiles over.
Your good hand is useless now.
What did he have in round 2?
"Four Happiness"
White Dragon.
Mahjong!
"Four Happiness". Pay up!
We went over the credit limit.
I'll lend you some. 40% interest.
I think we're conned.
Nonsense.
Where's your sincerity?
Remind me how much I owe you.
Okay...
What are we playing this time?
American Mahjong. 13 tiles.
Damn!
The difference is players can switch 3 tiles with each other.
No way.
Dealer can request one more switch.
I can't breath! Help!
The shoes don't fit.
Find the right pair!
Don't take my pants! My glasses!
"Sorry, mister."
Someone robbed you?
"No, I lost money playing Mahjong."
Can you spare some change?
Here's 2 dollars. Thanks.
Loser!
Got it.
That's enough change.
Take the bus.
That's not how you ask for money.
You should say you're robbed.
And sweet talk the ladies.
"No, I'm not a con."
I don't tell lies.
Bus is here...
This place is dangerous.
How about you?
I'll ask people for more change.
Get in.
"Driver, please close the door."
Bye!
I won't be late for work tomorrow.
Excuse me.
I lost money playing Mahjong
Can you spare some change?
Why come back?
You shouldn't stay here!
Take the taxi.
Where is the money from?
Don't come to work tomorrow.
Why? What did I do wrong?
This job is a hoax.
We worked together to con you.
Why me? Because I'm naive?
"Honestly, conning you was the easiest job ever."
Why would anyone pay you 20 Grand?
My first job paid that much.
My last job even paid 30 Grand!
How did you lose everything?
I have no idea.
I just bought a house and then I met you.
Take it. It's yours anyway.
Excuse me.
I was conned. Can you spare some change?
Get lost!
I'm sorry sir.
I was conned. I need money...
No! Asshole!
What's wrong with you all?
I get more sympathy
if I say I lost money playing Mahjong.
I'll walk home.
It's far away.
Don't stop me!
There's someone from the tax bureau.
Are you the owner of this house?
Why work for the tax bureau?
To audit you!
What's with this look?
Mop hair looks bad.
Leave me alone!
You didn't report all your taxes.
How can you afford this big house?
You bought it or rented it?
I rented it. You helped me.
How much is the rent?
Don't know. My bank handles that.
"It's $257,200 a month plus tax."
Don't you ever check your account balance?
I'm not good with money.
You're always so careless.
Good thing I check for you occasionally.
How much is the sofa?
"$98,000"
That's expensive!
You should look for better deals.
You have to bargain.
Where's our love seat?
It's in my room.
How about my favorite cushion?
It's here.
How can you?
This old maid is sitting on it.
She ruined it!
It's my mom.
"Hi auntie, I'm Gigi."
I'm Andy's girlfriend.
Daughter-in-law?
Let's play Mahjong?
Sure...
Be nice to me.
I have Alzheimer's disease.
Sure.
Same rules.
You'll marry me if I win money and keep cool.
Won't give up?
You don't object?
She's not a bad girl.
You want to be my daughter-in-law?
I'll help you.
Thanks! Mom!
1 Circle.
"I'll" give way"...1 Circle."
Mom!
Something wrong?
2 Circles.
I'll give way"...2 Circles."
Mom!
Wrong again?
"You're "Killing" me."
No. I'm not.
To "Kill" is to throw out the tiles you want.
That's "give way"!
To "Kill" is to give you what you want.
Then "Kill" me.
But that's mean.
It's okay.
1 Circle.
Mom!
Wrong again?
2 Circles.
Mom!
What now?
You're "giving way"!
It's "Kill"
You said "Kill" is to give me what I want.
No, that's "to give way"!
"Kill" is to discard the tiles you want.
Do you know Mahjong?
Are you playing games with me?
Why would I...
I'm the "Old Maid"!
"Playing games, mom?"
Don't call me that!
You're not in the family yet!
5 Circles. Pong!
7 Bamboos. Pong!
Pong! 1 Bamboos!
Pong!
Mahjong!
This is war!
1 Circle.
Pong!
Kong! I got your tiles!
I dare you!
1 Bamboo!
I smell tension.
They'll get along.
Who did it?
Flipping table is the worse behavior.
Who did it?
Who?
Leave us out of this.
Say it.
I kept my temper.
I was feeling tired.
I put my hand on the table.
But I lost balance.
So it tipped over.
How could it get that far?
Must be the wind.
Or... Evil spirits?
Forget it.
Can I leave this here?
Sure.
Don't let people use it.
Okay.
Good luck.
Let's play.
"Come on, mom."
Was it necessary to take everything he had?
Leave him some change.
Why should I?
The coins can buy me something to eat.
What will it be? 1 round.
What rules?
I'll play American Mahjong.
Great!
I like to deal.
Dealer doesn't always win.
Switch.
Dealer's turn.
Told you you can't win.
Dealer requests one more switch.
Dealer has its advantages.
Switch tiles.
Sorry.
Dealer doesn't always win. Which tile will it be?
9 Circles.
1 Circle.
9 Bamboos.
9 Circles.
Sorry. No more tiles.
I'll try something else.
East! Kong.
South! Kong.
West! Kong.
Had Enough?
Kong.
I won't give you what you want.
1 Character.
Bad news for you.
I have three 4 Circles.
You're left with one.
Sorry...
Another 4 Circles?
That makes it five. You cheated.
You'll find out soon.
Give him 4 Circles.
But I'll lose.
If he calls a pair of 4 Circles. I'll cut his hands off.
Last draw. "Self-Touch"
"Heavenly Joy"
"Four Happiness"
Great. Bring me a knife.
Do you know the rules?
4 Circles and 5 Circles don't make a pair.
Mine is 4 Circles in disguise.
There's a grain of rice.
Out of nowhere...
Where did you get the rice?
It's still warm.
Don't forget this is a restaurant.
I got you!
Did your lucky underpants work?
Not today.
I'll give you the bus fare.
I live close by.
Buy something to eat.
Thanks. I'll return you the pants.
What an admirable Mahjong Master.
What's this?
Look at me.
I'll teach you a lesson.
"Forget it, son."
His pants are torn.
Let's go!
I've never seen anyone
who plays that good.
He can teach us the skills.
So I should learn from him?
I wouldn't have hit him.
Doesn't matter.
He's a Master. He'll understand.
You should control your temper.
Think before you take action.
Got it.
Can you return money to that idiot?
I couldn't get your money back.
Only your pants.
What are you doing?
Writing a receipt for what I owe you.
"No need, bro."
No. We're costing you a lot of money.
Why don't you add interest?
I did. How is P+2 for you?
Crazy!
This cheap juice is delicious.
Have another bottle.
How about P+3?
Want to add the juice?
Mom is our responsibility.
I did. She had 3 bottles today.
I wrote down what she drank.
'82 La Fite.
'90 Mouton and '82 Margaux.
Crazy!
"Sir, you have a visitor."
What happened?
I couldn't get your money back.
I'll give you my share.
"There were more,"
but I went on a shopping spree.
Lucky I didn't buy that beautiful bag.
Or there would be only $100 left.
The store said it's the last one in stock.
Pay me back later.
Okay.
Haven't seen Cherrie.
Is she angry at what I did to her?
She's dating.
She's desirable?
She's not bad.
In what ways?
Her optimistic personality.
"Dad, I just realized I'm in love with her."
You're always like this.
You never want anything
unless it's already taken.
Got anything to buy?
I want fruits.
What kind?
I don't know! Just fruits!
How about sugarcane?
I don't buy this cheap stuff!
How much is this?
How did you become the Mahjong Warrior?
"After I left home,"
I was drifting around.
Then I saw Buddha.
He gave me a sign.
Really?
I thought so.
It must have been God's miracle.
You believe my story?
You think I did?
What really happened?
Miracle happens.
It's the person who helps you up
when you're down.
Don't come play again!
You okay?
That's how we met.
She was nice.
She gave me things to eat when I was broke.
Everyday was a new dish.
What do you want tomorrow?
Fish cake.
No problem.
Then I realized something was wrong.
Tell your mom you want fish cake for lunch.
Yes.
But she loved me.
Did things for me.
Make way...
You'll have a lucky year!
We have God's blessing.
"200 Million Dollars."
"From that day on, I started winning."
I became a better player.
My luck didn't stop.
"Red, Green, White Dragons."
They became my buddies.
"North, East, South, West."
They were in my command.
I was in the winning seat.
Never lost a game.
Mom
Then what?
I wanted her to succeed too.
So I sent her to study abroad.
"She was a good student,"
but had discipline problems.
Tell your mama tomorrow you wanna eat pizza.
"When she returned, things became rocky."
We had good times and bad times.
It was a mess.
Why is everyone asleep?
She's changed a lot.
Almost there.
What's this?
You wanted me to change.
I don't mean this!
You had a good figure.
Now look at you.
You're top-heavy.
What happened?
I lost balance and fell.
You need help.
"Sir, we have trouble!"
I came for you.
What now?
Teach me Mahjong.
With that kind of attitude?
What's the right attitude?
You should bring gifts.
I'll go buy whatever you want.
No need!
4 rounds.
I'll say yes If you win.
Master. Not yet.
And I'll marry you.
Hubby. Not yet.
I'll make her mine.
"Self-Touch"!
Everyone pay up.
Screw...
Respect the old lady.
Have some tea.
Buy some candies.
I like your manners.
I'll help you.
"No, it's okay."
I should... 4 Characters.
Pong!
Thank you.
I like you a lot.
You're better than that mop head.
She called me names.
7 Characters.
Mahjong!
1 Character.
Mahjong!
Great!
3 Bamboos.
Mahjong! Mahjong!
Double pay!
Last round.
How much did you win?
I have enough.
Hope he won't get "13 Unique Wonders"
"Your turn, son."
Not "Heaven's Grace" I hope.
Not "13 Unique Wonders" I hope.
Of course not. East.
South.
West.
What's going on?
East.
1 Circle.
Not "All Pictures" I hope.
Not "13 Unique Wonders" I hope.
Sorry.
It's fate. I can't marry you.
You cheated!
How can you do this to them?
I didn't.
It's my buddies.
Excuses excuses!
Do you want to marry me?
Yes.
Then do it now.
The time is not right.
Liar!
You never meant that!
You're treating me like a fool.
I said the time isn't right.
Will you calm down?
Easy for you say!
You're always lucky.
You always get what you want.
Easy for you to say!
No. I love Mahjong whether I win or lose.
Fine.
Then I'll curse you... From now on
You'll draw bad tiles.
Never to complete a winning hand.
Never to win again.
And lose all your money.
Don't cry.
Don't shed tears for liar. Let's go.
You're despicable!
Let's go!
I can't watch this.
I'll have more juice.
I smell trouble.
Mahjong! Pay up!
How can you beat me?
Screw you.
That's not harsh enough.
Screw your parents.
Screw your whole family!
Great!
What a lousy hand.
Then knock over the tiles.
Let's start over...
7 Circles.
Mahjong.
Mahjong! Mahjong!
You stole my win!
Throw him overboard!
Really?
Sure. He's a nobody.
You kept all the good tiles!
Good!
How dare you to copy my moves?
I did nothing wrong.
Why not just let her be?
But I'm your dad.
I've been a loving son.
Want a daughter-in-law?
Come on. Hurry
Your jump will be the climax.
Sorry.
1 Circle. Don't call Mahjong!
Or your future will go astray
Why stop her?
My neighbors told me
about a big boob con.
I wished it wasn't you.
Leave me alone!
It's not your business!
If you win this round, you'll become one of them.
Screw him! Mahjong!
Pay up!
I don't have enough.
Leave.
Remember the rice...
Stop it.
Let's see what he can pull off.
Take one.
9 Characters.
6 Characters.
9 Bamboos.
9 Characters.
Mahjong!
"Honor Pairs"
Kong Hidden Kong!
"13 Unique Wonders"
I'll go get tea.
1 Circle.
"Earth's Grace"
Pay three-fold!
Don't go on.
It's almost over.
I'm serious.
This is the last round anyway.
"Where are you, buddies?"
4 Flowers!
6 of them.
Flower!
7 of them.
8 Flowers!
You're screwed.
How many fold?
Forty-fold.
I was worried to death!
He looked prepared...
I thought he'd come up with a big win.
Dad... I won!
It's okay... I was so worried!
Let's see what he has.
He never had a chance.
"Mahjong Warrior" is out of luck.
"Sorry, we're Insolvency Officers."
Sir!
You again?
What a coincidence.
This is the third time.
Come in... Be my guest...
Get to work.
"Sir, someone's here to see the house."
So soon?
We can't miss the show.
We came to see you.
What's there to see?
You hitting rock bottom.
Excuse me...
Please put down the chairs.
Sorry.
I'll rent this place.
The air is sweet.
The view is tight.
But the main reason is...
It's yours!
Your house is re-possessed. Please leave now.
Don't take anything with you.
Don't ever come back here!
Sleep on the street.
"Sir, a letter for you."
Our luck hasn't run out!
What does it say?
"We're moving, mom."
Years ago I applied for public housing.
It's finally approved!
It's a cozy apartment!
Great!
The bus stop is only a few steps away.
A great location.
I'll make friends with the neighbors.
It'll help your illness.
Let's go take a look.
Hurry! Let's go...
Stop acting!
"You're optimistic, bro."
"After winning for years, a few bad hands won't bother me."
Things will get better.
How's your job search?
It's on hold.
I'm developing a computer game with Cherrie.
That's good.
Will mom get used to this lifestyle?
Why not?
I went through a lot to raise you two.
Go to bed.
There's school tomorrow.
The light switch is there.
Where to?
Mahjong Warrior?
Mrs. Wong.
Driving taxi now?
The job gives me freedom.
I can play Mahjong between shifts.
Having better luck yet?
Soon.
Good luck.
Yes.
How did you get in?
I broke in. Nobody answered.
Cleaned my place again?
Leave it. Who'll notice?
You can wait until year's end.
"I carried it to the garbage room,"
but the bag broke.
So I left it here.
I threw as hard as I could.
But the wind blew it back.
I'll clean it up.
What now?
Can you show some gratitude for what I did?
I don't even clean my own place!
I'm wrong again?
What now?
Say something!
I'm dating that con.
Aren't you mad? Say something.
Gigi.
Don't say it...
I know what you're going to say.
We should separate for a while.
Don't hurt me again.
Don't play games.
I've suffered enough.
Whatever I do just seems wrong.
Everything is wrong.
What do you want?
Do you still love me?
Sometimes I do.
When?
When I see you in tears.
When you clean up my place for me.
That's when love strikes.
When do you despise me?
When I see you tossing tissues out of the window.
When I find food and garbage under my sofa.
That's when love eludes me.
You're wrong.
I threw food onto the street.
That's still wrong.
It was empty.
It's public property.
So what am I supposed to do?
You are so demanding.
You should use a trash bag.
But it breaks easy.
Use two.
Carry it gently.
You're too picky.
It's my wife we're talking about.
It lasts a lifetime.
"Even if I'm changed,"
you'll still despise me because I'm a sore loser.
Good character makes good player.
I'll try to change. Can you wait?
Going to play Mahjong?
I don't have to. No...
I want you to.
I want to see you play before we part ways.
What's there to see?
You.
You look attractive when you play.
A lousy hand!
A bad hand can still win. Which one?
8 Circles.
This is unusual. We'll sit on it.
What?
It's okay.
Knock over the tiles.
Relax.
Pong.
Pong!
Which tile?
Not good.
People keep stealing my wins.
5 Bamboos.
Mahjong!
We discarded the wrong tile.
It could've been worse.
Screw you!
"I could've had a "Clean Pairs"."
Lucky us.
They're about to call Mahjong.
Which tile?
These six helps player 1.
These six helps player 2.
Player 3 needs these.
We'll lose no matter what.
Think about our move.
Grab the chairs and the ash trays.
We'll kick their ass!
I don't mean that.
Which one can reduce our loss?
This one.
"Clean Pairs" pays eightfold.
This one?
Same thing.
"Honor Pairs" only pays fourfold.
We'll gamble.
What a lousy tile!
Take it or leave it.
Screw you! I'll take it!
I can't believe this...
One pair. Damn!
Give me West!
Not East!
East!
Screw you! Impossible!
I've never lost so happily!
Winning doesn't mean happiness.
Playing a good hand gives most satisfaction.
I got it.
What?
Reason why you don't lose temper.
Bad hands require more thinking.
Losing temper is no use.
Good character makes good player.
Believe me.
Next time you'll want to marry me.
Take care.
She's nice.
I know.
I'll see you guys later.
We need one more player.
"800 million dollars"
Thanks!
A-ri-ga-to!
"Our luck is back, Cherrie!"
What's the good news?
The Japanese bought our game.
They'll host a Mahjong tournament to promote it.
You should enter.
Sure! Of course.
What's the prize?
5 round-trip tickets to Japan. Economy class!
We can travel together!
Good.
There's one extra ticket.
It's about time daughter-in-law comes home.
"It's been a while, buddies."
Lot of players!
"The economy is bad, who doesn't want to win?"
Move!
You dare to compete?
What brought you here?
I like the title!
"Mahjong Warrior"
Everything you own will be mine.
"Your house, your car..."
and your girl.
Dad...
Andy!
Sorry...
Glad I made it on time.
Became a flight attendant again?
Yes.
I collected lucky charms for you.
Beads from the Vatican.

Got this in Thailand.

It's safe to discard 8 Characters.
"Need your help, buddies."
You're here too?
Bonus tile.

I know you're coming.
"Thanks, buddies."
I could've called Mahjong earlier.
Your buddies are on my side.
Red Dragon. Kong!
Green Dragon. Kong!
Sorry...

Look at the mess.
It's still warm.
Kong!
Damn!

"18 Unique Wonders"
Congratulations!
Excellent skill!
You really turned things around.
You deserve the title!
The plane tickets are yours.
Andy!
We'll get married!
Why didn't you discard 5 Circles? He had a 4 Circles.
Did it have anything to do with the rice?
I want a re-match!
Game's over.
Whoever wins ten-fold is the champion.
My brother won thirty-fold. More than anyone.
This is a duel.
We'll stake everything we own
and the plane tickets!
"Quit playing, son."
He got his game back.
But I want to be Mahjong Warrior!
You really do? Yes!
I got your bonus tiles.
So do I.
I hate 4 Circles.
Naughty boy.
What?
Make a move. Now!
Take the plane tickets if you want.
You can have my title too.
Mahjong is just a game.
What?
What does he have?
"Four Happiness" and "Earth's Grace"
It's forty-fold!
"To return good for evil"
He's a real Master!
Master!
Master...
Mahjong!
Everyone is a winner.
We are all winners!
