The kids are usually here 15 minutes before class.
But now, we're down to 5 minutes
and there are only a handful of them.
Word of mouth is crucial to an education center.
Word gets around, especially bad things.
Fa Sin Chi's image will be affected for some time.
We must grin and bear it.
I thought the Miss Fa effect would work.
OK, I have a pre-meeting announcement.
Miss Sze is now a full time teacher at Fa Sin Chi.
You have my word,
once our situation improves,
you'll be given a better pay.
How bad is it? How many students did we lose?
More than half.
If one parent wants to quit,
everyone else follows. Domino effect.
What if they all want a refund?
Miss Fa and I agreed that we must not upset the parents.
We will give them a pro rata refund based on the number of lessons taken,
but we will cap it at 70%.
They'll get a full refund if no classes have been taken.
That much?
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Ophelia and I know that too well.
We have sold our cars and flats before.
This is far from the worst.
Are there any promotions that will work but doesn't cost much?
What is most plentiful at the Center?
Kids. The Center has a lot of kids.
If we use them to sell to other kids,
that will be an effective gimmick.
You want to use the kids?
I won't stoop so low to use kids to promote the Center.
I'm suggesting we show the parents what the kids have achieved.
I don't get it.
You sing songs, recite poems and tell stories in class, right?
We could host an event
and show the parents how talented their kids are.
You think it'll work?
Me? What do you think, Miss Chu?
We've never done that before.
But it's quite a novel idea.
Sounds like fun.
It should work.
It's worth trying.
I agree.
We always teach them to be brave and speak English.
Since they have a desire to perform,
I think they'll learn from the show.
If everyone agrees, it's worth a shot.
It's a deal!
Pork Belly, today is Sunday, what do you want to do?
I want to go to Fa Shin Chi.
But today is Sunday.
They're open every day.
Sunday should be a rest day. You want to study?
No, Miss Fa sings
and teaches us English with a puppet.
We like it so much that we don't want the class to end.
Daddy Pacino can teach you English while you play.
Let Pacino teach you how to ride a bike in English.
Let me get that.
Who else could it be?
I'll get it.
Hey...
Yo! Daddy!
Yo! Bounce on my belly...
You're not taking him away.
The Police cleared me of child abuse.
You have no reason to stop me from seeing him.
Not without an appointment.
You're not a doctor.
Please let him in.
Only because of Pork Belly.
Morning, Pacino. Morning!
Where's Daddy's breakfast?
He ate already.
I haven't.
Eat this. Sit over here.
Bananas are good for the system, right?
Sit over here and finish it while it's hot.
There's no need to squeeze in the corner.
We're an intimate family of three.
Daddy, we're going cycling, want to come?
Today is our family day, maybe next time.
He's my father.
Good son!
Yo...
Look ahead... can you manage?
Be careful! Can you manage?
Pork Belly, you lost balance because your posture is wrong.
Keep your arms straight and look ahead.
Don't leave Daddy out!
If Uncle can teach you, so can I.
Mind your own business.
Daddy!
Well? Is Daddy's BM strong enough?
Yes! As strong as your name.
A grown man can't even ride a bike.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
What's the big deal about riding a bike?
Pacino was in Le Tour de France.
He volunteered to hold up the banner?
No, Uncle Pacino came in the top 10.
I can teach you too.
Two wheels are more fun than four.
Don't you know that?
Pork Belly, I'll get a different set of wheels
and ride with you, OK?
Let's go.
Watch where you're going!
Sorry!
Are you tired?
A little.
Wipe your sweat! You're doing much better.
Drink some water.
It's nice over there.
You're right!
Let's go over there later.
Great!
Having fun, Pork Belly?
Yes, but where's Daddy?
Stop thinking about him.
Mommy is married to Uncle Pacino,
he's your stepfather now.
I want you to call me Dad.
That's right. Don't call him Uncle anymore.
Try it.
Come on.
Say it.
Just once.
Let me hear it.
Don't say it!
Don't be shy!
No... don't say it! Good boy!
Nothing is impossible.
Happiness can't be forced.
Daddy! Yo!
Honey, take Pork Belly to get something to drink.
Sure!
I can take him.
Kuk Chi-keung, we need to talk.
You used my full name.
Iced lemon tea, remember?
Putting the cards on the table?
I need to talk to you too.
You saw how much the boy loves me.
I want to take him home.
I'm begging you to leave us alone.
I'm not dead yet.
Pacino is just starting to bond with him.
Why do you have to sabotage us?
How could you be so selfish?
You should talk. You won't let me see him.
With us, he can win from the start.
He won't even have to run.
I can make him happy too.
What can you offer him?
Let's forget money for now.
Do you love him as much as Pacino does?
I called you last time he had a high fever,
you never returned my calls
because you were playing soccer with your boss.
I showed up at the hospital.
After the fever broke.
You promised to take him out every week.
Were you ever on time?
You stood him up every time.
A man has to work.
Pacino is the CEO of a company...
So?
He's 10 times busier than you.
He's exhausted but still finds time to read him stories.
You're his natural father yet you won't.
Keep it down! You want the boy to hear you?
I only know I failed him before
and I want to make it up to him now.
Isn't it a bit late for that?
Daddy! Thank you.
Pork Belly, Miss Fa wants you to participate in Fa Sin Chi's open day.
I'd love to! Mommy, can I?
It's Fa Sin Chi, not me.
Mommy?
Let him go, Mommy!
Mommy?
Yeah! Yeah! Cheers!
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down,
London... Pork Belly!
Pork Belly, are you coming back? Great!
It's so boring without you.
We can play together again.
Now that everyone is here,
we must rearrange your positions.
Great!
Let's start again.
Thanks for keeping your word.
He was reminding me all night.
He'd be furious if I didn't bring him.
Where's your shadow Pacino?
Even the CEO has to work.
That's true.
He'll be here for Pork Belly's performance.
So this is Fa Sin Chi? Nice place.
I know Miss Fa... are they teachers too?
Mr Sheung, Marius.
Miss Chu.
I teach abacus calculation.
I teach visual arts.
You don't have that many students.
Only some of them are here.
We hope to draw in more with the performance.
Miss Fa, I'll be here every day to practice.
Great! We all missed Pork Belly, right?
Yes!
How's your forehead?
I'm fine.
You're looking good. Let's practice.
Can I help you?
I... you're late!
I'm not. I arrived early but didn't tell you.
I wanted to see how long it would take you to notice me.
But you never did.
You should ask yourself why.
I was busy picking out an instrument.
What do you have in mind?
Fa Sin Chi has an event next week.
The kids will be singing.
I want some music so it won't be so dull.
Next week? You don't have much time.
How about this? It's easy.
You have no creativity.
I think this is good.
I know what the kids will like.
Try djembe. It's easy to learn.
The kids will love it.
Djembe?
Let me show you.
I saw that!
Sun makes the best dried orange peel.
I want to borrow some to make sweet soup.
Smells great! Red bean soup for my father-in-law?
You fancy him?
I've been carrying a torch for him for years.
The older I get,
the more I think we make a good pair.
Sorry, I shouldn't make fun of you for being honest.
You should. A woman my age still fancying a man.
Love knows no age. If you want to love, love!
You're home early.
I only work part time.
I'm home early because I have no bookings.
The point is Dad is coming for dinner.
So? He comes all the time.
I've invited a friend. I came home early to prepare.
A friend?
You invited Brenda!
Hi, I came to bum a meal.
Don't say that. Have a seat.
I'm glad you know. I didn't invite her.
Chi invited her
and she has no shame.
Dad! Hi, Brenda!
Carrie, I brought an extra dish.
Thank you.
I tried to stop her.
Barbequed meat is so greasy,
the kids will get sick from eating it.
We can eat it.
But you don't even like barbequed meat.
Brenda means well.
It's OK.
Give me a hand.
I told you not to buy it.
Grandpa...
Come here, kids.
They're your grandchildren?
Call me Brenda.
What? You're Auntie Brenda.
Kids, I brought you some gifts.
This is for you, this is for him.
Thank you.
Try them, they're very good.
Daddy, may I eat this?
Dinner is almost ready. Try it after dinner, OK?
It looks really good.
One piece should be OK.
No, Nim-shu said no. Don't break his house rules.
I thought I'd make the kids happy.
This is Brenda's first visit.
She doesn't know the rules.
She should come by more then she'll get used to our habits.
Don't even think about it.
You'll distract the kids from doing their homework.
Let's eat, come on...
This printing company is not bad... reasonable prices too.
Yes, they did a good job with our exercise books too.
Is that too heavy?
What?
You're sweating!
Let me wipe it for you.
What? You're wiping my sweat?
You're so sweaty!
You really shouldn't have.
You've done so much for Fa Sin Chi,
wiping your sweat is nothing.
You were a great help setting up the visual arts class.
I should buy you dinner.
You really don't have to.
It doesn't matter who buys.
Just remember I owe you one.
Right!
Are you hot?
Not really!
Sorry... Don't be.
Hello? I'm so glad you called.
Really? You're on!
You better not lie to me.
Hello? Ah! No signal in the elevator.
Calm down. Was it an important call?
I've been waiting for this call.
I barely got a word in before I was cut off.
You can call back.
It's a long distance call.
That rascal is hard to catch.
He could be anywhere now that we've been cut off.
Rascal? Sounds intimate.
Is it someone important?
The most important person in my life.
Please don't ring...
I was in the elevator.
What took you so long to call me?
I really missed you.
Don't do it again, OK? Bye!
I'm sorry, I was on the phone for so long.
It's OK, whatever makes you happy.
Do 1 look happy?
Obviously... you're smiling from ear to ear.
Your eyes are beaming.
I've never seen you this happy.
But you look rather gloomy.
Are you not feeling well?
I meant to ask you to go buy something with me.
Buy something? I'm OK. Let's go.
Are you really OK?
I'm OK. Let me just put this down,
and I can go with you.
Great!
Here! Thanks!
There's traffic... let's do it here.
What? We'll be here all night, just the two of us.
Shek Tung and your sister are not back yet.
Don't worry, they're on their way.
I also called someone to help.
Who?
You're supposed to give out flyers.
Why are you in a suit?
I want you to know I take this very seriously.
Let me introduce you, he's...
I remember him, the physiotherapist.
And you were screaming murder during acupuncture.
This is Sze Hing... Kuk Sir.
Nice to meet you.
Not only did Sze Hing teach the kids to play the djembe,
he also has a patient who owns a musical instrument shop.
They'll lend us a few more djembes.
I see, the philanthropist. Thank you.
Don't thank me. I'm here to help Ophelia.
I'm actually her...
Let's go over there, come on...
Why didn't you say I'm your boyfriend?
I don't want to.
Any special reason?
I don't want to discuss my personal life with a colleague.
Is that a good enough reason?
I thought it was because of him.
Him? You mean Kuk Chi-keung?
I thought you didn't want him to know.
He's my boss. You're thinking too much.
When will you tell people about me?
First you forced me to be your girlfriend.
Now you're making me tell people you're my boyfriend.
What's next? Force me to marry you?
Why wait? Let's do it now.
Hey... get up!
You must go by my rules if you want to be with me.
Fine! We won't go public.
Hand this out... don't pout!
Kuk Sir! Hey, Brother Kuk!
Hand these out... thank you.
Stone, let's go over there.
Sure... I want a word with him first.
Come over later then.
Right!
I'll leave these here.
Sure... give them to me.
Thank you.
Making progress? You went shopping.
Progress? She was shopping for someone else.
By the way, who's that guy next to Miss Fa?
He looks rather stupid, who is he?
Who cares?
What about you?
Just get to work.
I'll go that way then... be careful!
Get to work!
Madam, drop by Fa Sin Chi on Sunday for a performance if you have time.
Sir...
Why did you take my stroller?
It almost got ran over by a car.
You're trying to kidnap my baby!
Me? Kidnap your baby?
You're crazy! You better not scare my baby.
Help me finish these.
Madam, you neglected your baby,
and he saved him.
You ought to thank him.
You're both crazy!
People can be so unreasonable!
Don't let her get to you. I saw a lot of people like her when I was in real estate.
But she's a mother.
How can she teach her child?
After a long day's work,
it's nice to have such a great view.
It's really very nice.
Sometimes when I can't sleep,
I'll come out here to look at the view.
Hey... What?
Try this.
Is this what you made for me?
Yes!
Is it edible?
It's very good!
Well? It's delicious!
I haven't eaten. Make me something.
Fine. Just for you.
What would you like? We have beef balls, fish balls, corn and sausage.
I'll choose for you.
Never mind. I have no appetite.
What's wrong?
I was thinking about how you were talking and joking with Kuk Sir.
You expect me to pull a long face with my colleague?
No, I don't mean that.
But somehow I sense danger around this guy.
Danger? Why? Is he a cannibal?
No, just stay away from him.
I'll go to school in a suit of armor.
Can you take me seriously?
I am. I'm paying attention.
If you make our relationship public,
I'll believe you're serious.
Listen up, everyone!
I'm dating Sze Hing, hello...
OK now? OK!
Let's eat.
Daddy!
Yo! You can't sleep?
Mommy wants me in bed by 9pm.
She doesn't know I'm calling you.
Daddy, help me recite the poem.
Sure, just like how Miss Fa taught you,
we'll each do a line.
I know a curious boy who is always asking "why".
Why this, why that, why then, why now?
Why not, why by-the-by?
He wants to know...
why wood should swim,
why lead and marble sink,
why sun should shine and wind should blow...
Good morning!
Morning! Hello!
Carrie, I have a question about your booking.
Really?
Ping-ping, the courtyard is cluttered,
could you go clean it up?
Sure!
I have something to ask you.
Careful! What is it?
After I had dinner at your house,
Sun didn't say much to me.
I want to know if he said anything about me.
No.
Was he upset with me?
No.
I'd rather he harp on me than ignore me.
Why would you prefer that?
You should try to get on his good side.
What's this?
This Sunday, Yat and Yee have a performance.
It's also our family day.
Dad will be there, you should come too.
Will I be imposing on your family day?
You should try to be part of the family.
Thanks for your encouragement. Full steam ahead.
Hurry...
It's not yet lunch time, why did you drag me out here?
I ordered pickled mustard greens from Heung Heung Garden.
They're delivering them at noon.
They're in a rush and I'm meeting them out here.
Heung Heung Garden?
There used to be one near where I live,
but they closed down a long time ago.
I do miss their pickled mustard greens.
They've reopened.
The new owner is a relative.
You used to buy so much,
you became friends with the owner.
They don't make them like they used to.
It's the same or else I wouldn't be recommending it.
Really?
The good thing about you is you know what I like.
I'm glad you noticed.
Miss Wong? Yes.
Sign here! Thank you.
Thank you, Miss Wong. Thank you.
Hey...
Did you sprain your hand?
I'm fine!
Are you alright? Does it hurt?
I said no.
Do we have enough chairs?
Everything's all set.
Is everyone here?
Almost, except Bong-bong, Siu-mei and Pork Belly.
Sorry...
Hello! Hello!
Are we late?
No, you're good.
Miss Fa, is everyone here?
They're in the staff room.
Bong-bong, you look so handsome!
Could you take Siu-mei inside?
Sure!
Mommy, let's go in.
Let's go.
Be good! Behave!
It's almost time. Mr Chan, take them inside.
Sure! Please come this way.
Sure...
Please follow me.
See you later.
This is really nice.
All except Pork Belly.
I'm worried Bella might change her mind.
No, maybe it's the traffic.
Pork Belly will be here.
It's almost time. Should we call them?
Pork Belly always had to wait for me to pick him up.
Now, I can't wait for him to show up.
You were always late and he couldn't do anything except wait.
He knew Daddy would be here.
That's why Pork Belly will also be here.
I'm sorry!
Yo!
The car died and there was no taxi.
Are we late? It's OK...
Please get him some water, he's panting.
No problem. Thanks.
Please follow me. Sure!
This way.
Sit down. Yo, are you OK?
Daddy, I'm scared.
About what?
I knew that poem by heart,
but now I don't remember.
You've forgotten because you're too nervous.
Catch your breath and you'll remember.
Have a sip. Thank you.
Drink it slowly.
Yo, did you bring the watch?
Put it on.
Listen carefully, when you go on stage,
press the button on the side
and you'll be full of energy. Trust me.
Try it.
I'm full of energy. I can fight 1 against 10.
Yo... Yo...
Wait... join us Miss Fa.
Come on... Sure!
Yo...
Welcome to Fa Sin Chi, everyone.
I'm not good with words so without further ado,
let's hear it from our performers.
First up, we're reciting an English poem.
The name is very simple, it's called...
"Why".
I know a curious boy who is always asking "why".
Why this, why that, why then, why now?
Why not, why by-the-by?
He wants to know why wood should swim,
why lead and marble sink,
why sun should shine and wind should blow.
He wants to know what makes the clouds.
And why they cross the sky,
Some...
Some of these...
Some of these "whys" are not too hard
To answer if you'll try.
Others no one ever yet
has found the reason why.
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is failing down, my fair lady.
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is failing down, my fair lady.
See you.
Remember to bring the kids on Monday.
Thank you... where's Kuk Sir?
Talking to his ex-wife about Pork Belly.
Where's Pork Belly?
They don't want to talk in front of him.
Pacino took him inside.
Drawing is a reflection of the child's mind.
If you want to know what the child is thinking,
this class is perfect.
Shek Tung is hard-selling the class, Sis.
What is he after?
Don't be mean. He has a kind heart.
I know.
But why is he trying so hard?
Some people don't need a reason to help other people.
Just like your brother-in-law.
Where are the kids? Sign them up now.
Another kid just signed up.
They really loved it.
That means your performance was a hit.
It was worth all the hard work.
That's right!
Let's have tea and celebrate.
Sure...
Go ahead, I have a date.
Excuse me... Hello? You're here?
I'm almost done. Just a few things to wrap up.
I won't be long. I'll call you when I can leave. Bye!
Was that Mr Lee? Yes!
Run along. I'll clean up.
I can't do that.
Why make you stay when your heart is elsewhere?
Fine! I'll go change.
Stone, I still owe you dinner.
We'll do it next time.
That's Dave? Does she have to be so happy?
You like the car, gorgeous?
What is it?
I told you not to speed.
But you had to drive a sports car
and a convertible no less.
I know...
You say that all the time.
Come on... watch out!
I'm just as good looking.
No doubt he's much younger.
Pork Belly, you like to draw?
Why don't I send you abroad to learn to draw?
I want to be with Daddy.
You always talk about Daddy,
you don't like Mommy?
No.
You don't like me?
No, I just like Daddy more.
What if you had to choose one of us?
Why can't I choose both?
Let's go, Pork Belly.
You're done talking? I can't see Daddy anymore?
Once a week, same as before.
Mommy can give you the best.
Don't you want to live with me? Let's go.
I want to live with Daddy.
Don't throw a tantrum, you're a big boy now.
I want Daddy.
Kuk Siu-Nam, will you listen to me?
Go home with Mommy.
Daddy, you don't want me?
Of course not! I want to live with you.
But we have legal issues to deal with.
I don't care.
I love you. Do you trust me?
Bella, let him go home with his Daddy.
You're taking his side?
Either way, Pork Belly will suffer.
Why torture the kid?
Let him live with whomever he want.
Isn't that the best way for him?
Pork Belly, you must promise me...
You can live with Daddy,
but you must visit us more often.
I can live anywhere I want. I have 2 homes!
Thank you.
Give me a big hug.
One more thing...
What is it?
Stop calling me "idiot".
Sure!
Look! There's a turtle!
Where?
You can't see it because it's walking faster than you.
What's wrong? The market is closing.
You'll be eating instant noodles.
What is it? Tired?
Piggyback?
Yes, come on! 1, 2, 3...
Daddy, am I too heavy?
What do you think? Like a tank!
You're faking it!
As your father, I have to carry you.
Daddy! Yes?
I want to grow up faster.
Why?
When I'm a grown up and you're tired,
I can carry you on my back.
What's wrong? You're sniffling!
Of course not!
Let me see.
There's nothing to see.
Come on, let me see.
I'm carrying you! Hey... enough!
Come on!
Just now the air-con was on high.
It's normal for the nose to run. Are you done staring?
No!
Well? Are we going grocery shopping or not?
You said you wanted a feast.
I have to have chicken wings.
See? You can be so wrong.
What?
Who wants chicken wings? Get the whole bird!
Yeah!
Yo...
Hey, wait up!
