Hello!
Miss Fa!
Miss Fa, aren't you on sick leave?
Yes, but I'm feeling much better.
I can come back to class.
I know, you're worried about the students.
Miss Fa truly cares about them.
Unlike some people, who treats them like cash cows.
Miss Ka-ka!
Miss Ka-ka, what are you doing here?
Getting ready for class.
I told you there's no need for you to fill in for me.
Why should I listen to you?
You're not the boss.
I made it very clear yesterday.
Kuk Sir! Kuk Sir!
Why are you all standing around?
We dare not go in.
Miss Fa and Miss Ka-ka are inside.
Times have changed. You don't call the shots.
Kuk Sir is the boss now.
Kuk Sir, I'm glad you're here.
Ask him yourself.
I'll leave if Kuk Sir want me to.
Kuk Sir, I should go to class.
Sure!
You look OK.
She won't be filling in for you, OK?
She has new classes.
New classes?
All the schedules are full.
Miss Sze and I teach English,
why do we need new classes?
She's teaching special classes,
not activity-based classes like yours.
How should I say this...
Her courses are designed to help students get better grades.
You mean booster classes?
Not exactly.
What's the difference?
I'm still working on it.
Classes like that are contrary to my teaching philosophy.
I object.
This is a special course, OK?
It's not a normal course we teach at Fa Sin Chi.
It's a different series.
We want to give parents more choice, OK?
And make more money for you, right?
I already told you it's not a bad thing to make money.
Don't bother to explain. I object.
You object?
Look... we're doing OK this month.
I set up a new line for Fa Sin Chi's sake.
I can always stop the line if it's not OK, alright?
You promised you'd respect my wishes.
I'm your boss, where's your respect for me?
Why don't you just sing it?
I can't... have a seat.
I have copyright issues if I sing in public.
It's illegal without the copyright owner's consent.
If you really want to listen to it,
come to my place and I'll sing it.
No thanks.
Do you know what I'm singing?
Waiting for you to come back?
I'm waiting... for your answer.
Let's date.
That's not funny.
I'm serious.
I'm not in the mood for that.
I know you're in a bad mood.
What is it? Fa Sin Chi again?
I don't want to answer that.
You want to get well faster?
Yes! You have an idea?
I'll use medical science.
Here's a corset for you.
Your back will feel better.
Great! Thank you.
I might have given you a corset,
but you know I'd advise against going back to Fa Sin Chi in your condition.
I also know I can't stop you,
just take care of yourself
or else I'll do it for you.
Have you heard of taking it one step at a time?
You mean you'll let me kiss you?
Right! I'll smash your lips.
One...
Two...
Three...
Four... the ball!
Good job!
Hurry up, Yat!
Pork Belly, come on!
Come on... hurry up!
Tackle 1, back 3!
I need support! Don't slack off!
You're too fast. We can't keep up.
Yat, don't scold your team.
You have to have team spirit.
I'm sorry, I couldn't run fast enough.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been upset with you.
Bong, come here.
OK!
Wipe your sweat.
One jersey for each of you.
Pork Belly, help me give them out.
Over here.
Yat, this is for you.
Daddy, look at my jersey.
Yo!
It's nice!
After you put it on, you're all on the team.
You must work together to win, understand?
Yes.
Yat, your Daddy's right.
I know you did your best,
but team spirit is crucial, understand?
Yes, Captain.
Yat, I support you.
I'm home! What are you doing?
Yeah, I beat Daddy!
We're practicing.
Will you hurt your fingers like that, Honey?
Mom, you're always worried about my fingers.
I'm worried about more than fingers.
I worry about you bumping your head and hurting your legs.
The kids are safe, they don't play rough.
But she's too tanned.
She's not made of tofu,
a little exercise won't kill her.
Everyone says Yee is taller than me.
I have to be taller so I look like a big sister.
Alright... where's Yee?
Why are you playing with Yat's violin?
She let me.
The violin is precious to you.
Why did you let him play with it?
Because he wants to be a musician.
What if he scratches it? Stop!
Let's practice together.
Sure!
Good! Go practice.
Is everything alright?
Yes, I'm hungry. Did you cook?
Yes! Just need to cook vegetables.
I'll do it.
Great!
Sorry!
It's past 11pm.
I don't get it.
You used to take lessons, but you're awful.
I took one lesson.
The musical notes gave me a headache.
I know I don't have the gift for it.
You failed and want your daughter to fulfil your dream.
I'm not that selfish.
If she doesn't like it, I won't force her.
You always let them choose for themselves,
why are you being so stubborn about this?
Yat's school requires all students to learn one instrument.
Yat chose violin so I decided we should learn together.
She practiced and now she can compete,
I was with her all along the way.
That's why I must be stubborn about this.
I don't think Yat will give it up.
It's not just kids,
adults need a break when they hit a bottleneck.
I remember you said we can always get back on our feet.
Did I say that?
I think I said that to Kuk Sir.
Were you eavesdropping?
You tell each other more than you tell your wives.
He doesn't have a wife.
You expect him to tell Pork Belly?
Go to sleep.
Wait! What?
This is from Yat. She wants you to watch her play rugby.
She was afraid to give it to you in case you turned her down.
For such an important match,
I'll cancel all my bookings that day
so I can root for her.
Then I'll make you a pair of pom-poms.
Great! Show me how to use them.
Go for it, Yat!
Keep at it, I'll get my phone.
Yat...
You wish...
Go for it!
Stretch...
Keep it up, everyone!
Go for it!
Go for it, Pork Belly!
Go for it, Fa Sin Chi.
Try harder!
Bong-bong, come on!
Go!
Don't forget...
Fa Sin Chi's spirit to develop potential and exceed the target!
Over there...
Kuk Sir, didn't you train them?
They're terrible!
They were doing fine during practice.
But they're under-performing in a real game.
This is their first game, they need some warming up.
Marius, I'm worried Yat will lose again.
Hey... you should have confidence in her.
You know Yat can be stubborn.
Last time she lost with the violin,
she should get some satisfaction from rugby.
But what if she loses again?
Winning or losing is not about the game, it's about the heart.
Come on!
Go for it!
Keep it up!
Keep it up, Yat!
High tackle, back 3...
Bong-bong, you're doing it again!
Sorry. I was too nervous. Don't yell at me.
Don't forget your team spirit!
Yes, team spirit!
We will win, keep it up...
Bravo!
Fa Sin Chi!
Good job!
Yat, support!
Yo, Pork Belly, keep it up... yeah!
Yeah!
Bravo, Pork Belly!
Bravo...
Bravo, Pork Belly!
Everyone... let me just say something...
It was a close match. Luckily we pulled it off.
Yeah...
I want to thank you all for your hard work.
Here's a toast to the Fa Sin Chi rugby team!
Cheers! Cheers!
It's important to be happy,
but don't forget the lesson you learned is team spirit.
You must remember this even after the game is over, understand?
Yes!
Don't forget the competition is only secondary.
What's more important?
Friendship...
Brilliant!
You worked hard to finish this competition,
having this memory is a total-win.
Bravo...
This trophy belongs to the team.
I have a present for you for your hard work.
One for everyone. Thank you.
This is for you... Thanks!
One for you...
What about us?
I have something special for the 3 most outstanding players.
The first is a leaps & bounds award,
and the winner is Yuen Ding-bong.
Bong-bong, this is for you!
Congratulations! You're so amazing!
Yeah...
Dad, I have an award!
He has finally won an award!
Next is an award for a dauntless spirit.
It was a unanimous vote by all the teachers, except me.
I had nothing to do with it... for Kuk Siu-Nam.
Well done! Yeah!
And finally, a leadership award.
Who is it for?
Tada... for Sheung Yat!
And to present the award... Mr Sheung!
Attagirl!
Bravo! Good!
Bravo!
Bravo, Yat!
Let's hear from the award winners.
Bong, you first.
Come on, Bong-bong.
I never wanted to share before.
But after I started playing rugby,
I realized the meaning of team spirit.
I won't be selfish anymore.
Good!
You're a big boy now, Bong-bong.
Kuk Siu-Nam, your turn.
I'm thrilled and I want an unbeatable rugby team,
so we can all enjoy playing.
Finally, our outstanding leader, Sheung Yat...
Bravo...
I always compete to win,
and I'd be depressed if I lost.
But now that I see how hard we all tried,
I realize we shouldn't give up so easily.
I won't quit because of a setback.
Very good!
Well said!
I just want to say... it's chow time!
Yeah...
I can't do this, can you help me?
Wait... I'm looking for something.
What are you looking for?
Where did you put the violin after you played with it last time?
I don't know.
How come? You had it.
It's right here.
Mom, I thought you threw it away!
Why? You love that violin.
I took it in to get the strings replaced.
Are you itching to play?
This is so... it's because we made money from the rugby game.
That's why I'm smiling, I'm not crazy.
Honestly, Fa Sin Chi is so different since you took over.
How different?
Miss Chu and Miss Fa are very dedicated to teaching,
but we run a business.
We can't be too set in our ways.
Kuk Sir, you have good way of thinking.
You do! Kuk Sir, we have to go to class.
We have to go.
Miss Ka-ka! Miss Ka-ka!
What were you talking about? You seem happy.
Of course. We made money from the rugby game.
Read this, you'll be even happier.
Brilliant Kids? Here?
Education Center scores with rugby game.
That's us? Media coverage of a ball game?
I got a friend who is a supplement columnist to help.
Nice. I asked a reporter friend to help on Fa Sin Chi's open day,
but only got quarter page coverage.
This time we have 4 pages and photos too.
4 Pages? You're right!
Impressive! Thank you so much.
I think Fa Sin Chi should branch out
into storytelling and recital contests.
I've included them in my proposal.
Take a look when you have time.
No, show me now.
Recital and storytelling are fine,
but cooking... is a bit far-fetched.
No, look again. Cooking lessons in English.
We'll teach cooking in English.
Will that overlap with Miss Fa's playgroup?
To each his own.
Think of it as giving the parents more choices.
Let's eat!
What a feast! We're welcoming in the New Year in advance?
Chow time!
I'm not that broke.
Then you should pay me back the money I loaned you.
Who's counting now? No.
Fine. I'll pay you back with interest.
There's no rush. I was just kidding.
It's just a matter of time, right?
That's right.
Here you go.
How kind of you.
I don't want to see you begging rich ladies to buy a flat online.
I already told you I was faking it.
Don't lose this.
Thank you.
I'm not too far from the goal I set for Fa Sin Chi.
I can finally see the dawn light.
That's good.
Congratulations, Daddy!
Uncle Tung got his present, here's yours.
What?
Let me do a magic trick for you.
How did you know I wanted this?
You told me.
You remember?
I don't have dementia yet.
Do you know why I bought you a watch?
You want me to have a sense of time,
so I won't be late like you.
See? You set a bad example.
Your son is making fun of you.
Think again. I'll give you another chance.
I have no idea.
Listen, look at this watch...
He wants you to see time slipping by when you look at the watch
and cherish the good times you spend together.
Is that true?
Eat your food before it gets cold.
I'm in Hong Kong.
Can you make a sentence with the word egg?
Yes. I ate a piece of cake yesterday.
Then where is the egg? In the cake...
Bong-bong, Wai, what are you doing?
Nothing.
Remember I told you to be honest and not to lie?
Come here.
Let me see what you're doing.
Who gave you these exercises?
Miss Ka-ka.
I worked on it all night last night and couldn't finish.
I need to hand it in in the next class.
If I don't, Miss Ka-ka will yell at me.
Do you understand these exercises?
No.
I've never seen some of the words before
and Miss Ka-ka talks too fast.
She said the whole point is to train our English listening.
Mak Ka-ka...
Mak Ka-ka, I'm talking to you.
Are you alright?
I was calling you, why did you ignore me?
I was tired after class,
I want to go home and get some rest.
What do you want? I have to go.
Did you give these worksheets to the students?
Yes. What of it?
The kids already have a lot of homework from school,
why did you give them more worksheets?
The parents know I teach booster classes.
If I teach them to sing the ABCs,
they'll say the class is not up to standard.
Fa Sin Chi does not endorse booster classes for students.
But you insist on teaching them.
Why are you doing this?
Why? I want Fa Sin Chi to make more money.
I think we should focus on booster classes from now on.
If you want to teach them, go somewhere else.
Why mess with Fa Sin Chi?
Other centers out there are set in their teaching models.
I'd just be one of many screws.
But Fa Sin Chi is different.
The boss buys all my ideas.
I won't let you affect the kids.
You can't stop me.
How do you feel?
How long will this take?
I want to know how you feel.
I want to know how long this will take.
Are you in a hurry?
I'm here because I don't have classes in the morning.
But I have to be at Fa Sin Chi by 3:30pm
to prepare for my 4:00pm class.
It's a crime to forfeit your time off.
You're exhausted. How can you hobble back on a cane?
Finished?
No. There's one more treatment.
I need to put pressure on your back.
What a pain!
Just hold on...
Hurry up!
What's the big rush?
This treatment will hurt.
If it's too painful, make sure you tell me.
Don't hold it in.
Alright...
This treatment is painful.
Don't try to hold it in.
If it's too painful, I'll use less force.
Then I can slowly loosen it up for you.
It'll be too painful if I apply too much force.
Some people curse from the pain.
Don't hold it in, pain doesn't mean it's better for you.
If you can't stand it, we'll do it slowly.
It's already dark! I have to go back.
Watch it!
Why didn't you wake me up?
I told you I had a class.
The students are waiting for me.
Take it easy.
Go away! Why did you lock the door?
What's the meaning of this?
I had to lock up. You didn't fall asleep.
You passed out from the pain.
I was worried when I couldn't wake you.
I'm fine. If I just disappear like that,
the students will worry and
the parents will complain.
I sent them a message on your phone.
You used my phone? That's outrageous!
Someone sent you a message,
so I sent them a reply.
[Miss Fa, this is Pork Belly, ]
[Where are you? I'm worried.]
Pork Belly?
Pork Belly? How sweet!
Pork Belly is a student.
Kuk Chi-keung is your student?
He's Pork Belly's father.
I'm a teacher at Fa Sin Chi.
That's all. Happy now?
So you see him all the time.
That's enough! Will you just let me go?
I have to go back. I have students waiting.
Don't be mad. Sit down.
Finish the soup.
What kind of soup?
Showy millettia and eucommia bark with pork ribs.
I bought it while you were out.
I've heated it up.
This soup is very good for the back.
I'm sorry, I locked the door because I was worried about you.
I promise I'll open it after you finish the soup.
Slowly... it's really hot.
Let me help you, Daddy.
Have you finished Miss Ka-ka's worksheets?
No.
Then go finish them.
You always let me help you with the laundry.
Why not today?
Because you have homework.
I've already finished my school homework.
Your worksheets are also homework.
Miss Fa doesn't give us worksheets.
I enjoy her classes.
But Miss Ka-ka is always drilling us in her classes.
I don't like them.
I told you I don't need your help.
I'm just doing my own laundry.
Don't talk back at me.
I wouldn't if you didn't make me take Miss Ka-ka's classes.
What game are you playing?
What's so great about Miss Ka-ka?
She bullies Miss Fa, who's a thousand times nicer.
Stop talking about Miss Fa.
Go ask her to be your mother.
I like Miss Fa. She cares about us.
We don't like Miss Ka-ka.
She just teaches you how to make money.
You have no conscience anymore.
Where did you learn to talk like that?
Who taught you?
You're a kid, you don't understand adults.
You have no idea how much help Miss Ka-ka has been to me.
How else could I pay back Uncle Tung?
How else could I pay for your lame watch?
Then I don't want your lame watch!
Delicious!
Smells great!
OK, let's wait 25 minutes.
Don't touch the hot plate until I say so, OK?
Yes, Miss Ka-ka.
Good! Wow, it smells great.
Smells good.
Miss Ka-ka, I made it by myself.
Don't push!
Did you do this?
No! He did!
Miss Fa!
What is it, Pork Belly?
Someone's hurt.
Where? Show me.
Miss Fa, how is the student?
I took him to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor said he's fine and dressed the wound.
Then it's not serious.
Did the parents complain?
I already apologized earnestly.
They promised to let it go.
Still. They're really upset about this.
They made it clear after the course is over,
they're not coming back to Fa Sin Chi.
Miss Ka-ka, how could you be so careless?
I told them not to touch the plate,
and that I'd help them.
But there were too many students in the class
and I couldn't watch everyone...
The kids are so young,
cooking classes are dangerous for them.
It's easy to overlook something when the class is big.
There'll be more accidents.
I'll be more careful next time.
But we should not downsize the class.
Can you get a part time teacher to help me?
How about Miss Sze?
Miss Sze has her own classes.
You'll upset the Center's schedule.
We should cut the class to avoid the same thing from happening again.
You can't cut a class that's generating such good response.
Do we start cutting classes with problems?
I think...
Miss Ka-ka, please go back to class.
I know everything you do is for the good of Fa Sin Chi.
Starting tomorrow, let me handle all matters related to the teachers.
I don't care about anyone else.
But there's something really wrong with Mak Ka-ka.
Keeping her will ruin Fa Sin Chi.
How can one teacher ruin Fa Sin Chi?
Why are you always taking her side?
I'm not. I follow one simple rule in everything I do.
I want results.
Miss Ka-ka is helpful,
the students learn from her
and the parents speak highly of her.
What more can I nitpick?
I've told you over and over again,
she has no integrity.
That was before. We should look ahead.
There's nothing wrong with what she's doing now.
She's very capable.
Only because she's helping you make money.
Why do you always harp on me for that?
What's wrong with making money?
What else is there to talk about?
Your teaching philosophy?
Then what? Run the center to the ground the way you did?
I don't think she should stay.
She's good for Fa Sin Chi.
Either you fire her or I quit.
Very well. Goodbye!
I didn't say anything.
You don't have to. It means you have doubts.
Mak Ka-ka and I are equally important
and you don't know how to choose.
Let me help you then, I'll leave.
You don't need a cane anymore?
After my treatment with the physiotherapist,
I'm feeling better with the help of the corset.
Do you need more consultations?
Yes. He said he'll make me soup next time.
He sounds a bit weird.
But he cares about you.
There's more. He wants to go out with me.
Did you agree?
Of course not! I have no time.
I almost forgot to ask you...
Kuk Sir said you quit. Is that true?
Because of Mak Ka-ka?
Kuk Chi-keung said that?
He didn't have to. I guessed.
I shouldn't have brought her in.
It's not your fault. You made a suggestion,
Kuk Chi-keung had to trust her.
Fa Sin Chi can't do without you.
Kuk Chi-keung and I don't trust each other anymore.
We'd just fight if I stay.
I don't want to turn Fa Sin Chi into the battlefield.
It's bad for the kids. I'd rather quit.
Then no one can keep Mak Ka-ka in line.
Of course not! You're still there.
I can't do it alone. I want to quit too.
No! If you quit, Mak ka-ka will do whatever she wants.
You can't quit.
How could I be so stupid to put a rat in the rice bin?
And now the rat has chased you out.
Twice, Fa Sin Chi almost closed down,
but we pulled through in the end.
That means our good luck has not run out.
We still stand a chance.
You're right! We must never give in.
You have seen how stubborn I can be.
Focus on getting well. Leave everything else to me.
I can relax if you're there.
Keep it up! Keep it up!
The cat, giraffe and many different kinds of animals.
You can draw your favorite
and tell me why you like it, OK?
Yes, Miss Ka-ka.
You may start now.
Pork Belly, we're drawing animals today.
Why did you draw a flower?
Because I can't think of an animal to draw.
I told you to use color pencils,
why did you use watercolor?
I'm taking Miss Chu's visual arts class
so I'm mixing the colors now.
That's too much trouble. Put them away.
But I've already started.
Everyone else is using color pencils.
It's wrong to use watercolors.
I told you to put them away.
You're in trouble now...
Keep quiet! Keep drawing.
Kuk Siu-Nam, did you do that on purpose?
No, I was just careless.
Careless? Fine, apologize.
Why? I didn't do it on purpose.
Even if you didn't do it on purpose,
I still need to punish you.
What?
Just because Kuk Sir is your father doesn't mean anything goes for you.
You must listen to the teacher in class,
and you will be punished for your mistakes.
Or it won't be fair to other students.
Since you were disobedient,
I need to speak to your father.
Kuk Siu-Nam, you spilled watercolor on Miss Ka-ka's pants on purpose
and refused to apologize. Is that true?
I'm not harping on you,
I just want to know what happened.
How will I know if you won't tell me?
If you'll apologize, I'll forgive you.
I would apologize if I was wrong.
Since I did nothing wrong, I won't apologize.
Don't believe her.
What kind of attitude is this?
It's rude to point at a teacher.
Apologize now!
If you don't, I'll get mad.
Forget it, Kuk Sir. Don't force him.
Kids are like a blank piece of paper.
They listen to what adults teach them.
Kuk Siu-Nam has always been a good student,
but after Miss Fa left,
he's started to talk back at us.
Miss Fa is not a bad influence on me.
Sorry! I apologized.
Please don't bad mouth Miss Fa again.
Kuk Siu-Nam.
Pork Belly, no more TV, go shower.
Hey! Don't lose your temper with me.
Want to fold the laundry with me?
How about I peel an apple for you?
I've been more than patient with you.
Why are you ignoring me?
Why not? You don't listen to me either.
I gave you a chance to explain yourself,
but you wouldn't talk to me.
You only listen to Miss Ka-ka,
and won't listen to anyone else.
Talking to you is a waste of breath.
Even if you're in the right,
this is the wrong attitude.
There's a limit to my patience.
I meant for us to sit down and talk.
But looks like there's no point in talking.
Go to bed now.
No. I want to finish watching this.
Hey...
Go to bed! No!
When I count to 3, go to your room. 3... 2... 1...
Pork Belly, we have popsicles.
Would you like mango or strawberry?
Let's stop fighting, OK?
I'm coming in if you don't open up.
