Cool
Thank you
My admiration
Silly girl, now stop crying
I cry not because I didn't win
It is because you are here
Since small
I have been disappointed countless times
After Pa's death, Mom promised me
However hard life would become
We two would stick together
But life then was too hard
Mom couldn't stand it anymore
And married a barefoot doctor
I was heartbroken
Much more worse than this time
In my sophomore year
I entered into the city's drawing Competition
My classmates and the teachers
All had high confidence in me
They thought I would be in the top three
Even myself thought so
But when the result was out
I wasn't even on the distinction list
It turned out that it was because of my pa's past
I felt the world was so unfair
In Hong Kong
I too have seen many unfair things
But I know
If you really have the capability
If you will work hard
You can prove yourself
Like me, in so short a time
My life has greatly improved
I have hidden the hard life goodbye
I am now in a profession that I really like
I have met a man that loves me
You are all so good to me
I find myself very fortunate, I mean it
Mui Lai Lai really was blessed
She could get a role that suits her
And she really was great in it
That I don't bear her grudges at all
I have never heard you said so much at one time
But I really mean it
I really am a bit disappointed
Just a bit?
Tin Yu Gau
There is one thing I have kept in my heart for a long time
What is it?
You first
Brother Tin, let us get married
You don't want to?
Of course I do, I was thinking
How to propose to you
Cut it out, don't be so corny
Yu Gau, it is not an impulsive decision?
Of course not
I will marry you any time
Great
Let us go back and tell Mrs Ming we are getting married
No
I want to spend the night with you
Morning has broken
Right, it is morning already
You tired? Let us go back
Hubby
So soon? You really will not regret it?
Yu Gau, actually, shouldn't we give each other more time to think about it?
All right, we give each other a month to think it over, all right?
All right
Tin...got up already
Mrs Ming
You are back
Good morning
Morning, Madam Cutie
Morning
Look at you two
So you were out all night
No more talking
Go change and let us go out for breakfast
Let me change first
What's wrong with that girl? What?
She lost and yet she was full of smile
What's going on?
I have one thing to tell you
But you have to keep it secret
What is it?
You will soon be a mother-in-law
Mr Ming
So you have taken a leaf from your pa
What leaf?
Where have you gone last night?
What are you thinking?
I don't mind bringing up my past
Of what your pa and I have done
Don't you play the fool here
I saved you soup last night
Abalone and chicken soup
That's great
Hold it
You had fun last night
You don't need it
Yu Gau was taken advantage of
She deserves the soup
Mrs Ming, we did nothing last night
Nothing happened, nothing
Then how come you only came back in the morning?
Where have you gone?
So we came home in the morning Something must have happened?
We spent the night at the beach Believe it or not
I don't
Really? Really
What a fool! You let the chance go
Then why you have to get married in a hurry
We have this intention, it is still a plan
We are planning, not settled
Cut out the planning
The soup will not be wasted
Yu Gau, have some soup, come on
Miss, allow me
What is it?
Who knows what that rascal had in mind? Really
Let me help you
You are not hurt?
My foot hurts
Let me hold you...be careful, take it easy
Take it easy...
Be careful
Be careful, let me close the door
Thank you
That rascal
He could see, couldn't he?
He had to step on my foot It hurts terribly
You sit down first...
All right...you sit down too
He just stepped on you, it can't kill
You didn't have to scream so loud
It scared the hell out of me
It wasn't your foot of course you can take it lightly
You are not that young
Don't wear such high-heels
You have not broken you back Consider yourself lucky
Let me see...
It is all red and swollen
Right
You want Ying to give it a look?
Forget it, I won't give him a chance for revenge
I can go to see an orthopedist myself
All right, I have to go down to help
You have not worked enough?
Can't you just enjoy life?
I have only one son
Of course I have to give him a hand
But someone doesn't even have this luck
Right, were it not for that rascal
My daughter ran away because of him
Otherwise, Shui would have had a brother to be my adopted heir
You want another grandson so much
Why didn't you persuade your daughter not to go?
I have never seen another mother like you
What?
You couldn't wait to see your daughter and son-in-law separated
My daughter was born into a pampered life
She never had to lift a finger for chores
But since she married that rascal
She had worn her fingers to the bone
You tell me, how could her mother not be upset?
Have some, I made it
No, thanks...“ is iced
I have a sore throat, it is not good for it
Up to you, but I will enjoy it
You shouldn't either, it is egg pudding
It is not good for swollenness
Really? Then I will pass
Really good
If that rascal had proved himself a bit more worthy
And spared my daughter the hard life
I wouldn't have bothered with them
You think he had not tried?
You think about it
He bought a B&W TV for his wife
You called him a miser
And you had a colour TV sent over the following day
He bought a single door fridge
And you beat him with a double door fridge
He didn't want his wife so hard and bought a semi-auto washing machine
You put him down by sending over a fully automatic one the following day
Where could he put his face?
You put yourself in his shoes
He was just a cop with a fixed pay
How could he compete with you?
Right, he meant to be good
Now he is a thorn in the side
Have some tea
I did it for my daughter only
I just wanted her to have an easy life
You made it sound like I did it to spite him
To be honest, if I really meant to give him a hard time
I wouldn't have rented the flat to you so cheaply
Now that the rascal is no longer my daughter's husband
Even if I want to take the flat back
You can't complain, right?
Don't sound so generous
How cheaply?
What about the abalone, bird's nest dried mushroom and dried scallop
I give you on the festivals
They aren't that cheap, are they? They are high class stuff
Were it not for those goodies
You wouldn't have looked so young
Goodies indeed, the abalones you gave me
They were all rotten
When did I give them to you? Why didn't you tell me?
When? The abalones you gave me for Mid-Autumn Festival
How could I tell you?
It would have embarrassed you
The abalones for Mid-Autumn Festival?
I asked Ying to buy them
He lined his own pocket instead?
See, I told you he is good-for-nothing
I meant to ask him to buy dried seafood for Tin's wedding
Tin's wedding? He is going to marry Yu Gau?
Yes, but Tin said she is still thinking about it
They do make a pretty pair
After Tin has married You will have an easy life
That's what I am thinking
But so long as it has not become a fact
I still dare not to be too happy
What is your worry?
It is Yu Gau
You look at that girl
Whichever way you look at her She is meant to do something big
She is going to be a big star
You think she will marry Tin?
I am worried that Tin can't keep her
It is not something that can't be altered
Why don't we put her in the position that she has to marry Tin?
H ow?
Who is it?
Let me answer the door
Thank you No thanks at all
Coming
Old Hen, you have a registered mail
Right
Brother Tin
My uncle knows restaurateurs in Tsimshatsui
You want me to get you the quotation?
What quotation?
Why go to Tsimshatsui that far?
The restaurant nearby is quite good
Bumpy ride is not good for her
No more talking with you
Update me on the latest development
Sure
New development?
Kuen Brother Tin, Yu Gau
What is it?
You like your makeup to be light or sophisticated?
What light or sophisticated?
It must be sophisticated
Don't worry
I will make you look gorgeous
What was she talking about?
Come... have some watermelon
What? Watermelon
Great! Watermelon
It is sweet
Don't be so loud
You can't eat it, wait till later
Why?
We are so familiar with one another You still...
Don't pretend
Yu Gau, is there any restorative dish dish you like?
I will make it for you
You can't have them now
Wait till you have given birth Right...
Brother Tin, you want me to be your best man or not?
If yes, I have to get a perm
To look good for you
You just shave it
Come early tomorrow, thank you...
Thank you...all
Congratulations, boss Congratulations...
Congratulations? For what?
For being a bridegroom
Some other time... Bye...
Mrs Ming, what's wrong with you?
You spread around that Yu Gau is pregnant?
Now everyone knows about it
I only told one
I have not spread around
You tell one and it will be known to all
Madam Cutie. . . come here
I have brought you menus of all restaurants
Thank you
Hello
Yvonne
How are you?
Hello, Winne
Brother Hung, what a coincidence
You are getting married? Yes
Excuse me for a minute
You enjoy
Sure, OK
Yes, it is true, what about you?
Us?
I have not thought about it
Oh yes, your career is taking off
You retire so soon You don't find it a shame?
Why?
I can still make movies after I am married
Like Nastassja Kinski
And Seiko Matsuda
Nastassja Kinski's husband is a director So she is an exception
Seiko Matsuda's career has sagged since she got married
Showbiz is like that
Marriage can spell the end of your career
if...if it doesn't go well
Then I can retire like Momoe Yamaguchi did
You are cute because you are so naive
But it is also your greatest weakness
I know a thing or two about showbiz
I understand career and marriage
You can only pick one
Then...
Of course I will pick Brother Tin
What if a movie company promises to make you the biggest star in Hong Kong?
Yvonne, you don't know
Brother Tin really is very good to me
If I give him up
I know I will not find another one As good to me as he does
All right, what if Hollywood wants you?
You will become an international star?
Then which one will you pick?
Your eyes have given me the answer
Winnie, you know why I encouraged you to go into film making?
Because being a working girl is a waste of your potential
And being a housewife is even a greater shame
Your two pieces of cake were dear indeed
Now I have to fan you and scratch your back
Higher...
Good...higher...
Over here...
Lower
Higher...
Harder... harder...
Harder still...
Don't have to be that hard
Good...
More to the left
What a crowd Indeed
Madam Cutie
What are you two doing here?
Brother Tin, you are back
Good! That feels good
You two don't find it gross?
There is a lady here
So what?
Just scratching, how gross can that be?
She will soon be our in-law
What's the big deal? Really
Shui, mind your position
You know she is going to be your in-law
Yu Gau, don't you spoil them
Especially Shui, give him a dressing down if he does anything wrong
Otherwise, it will be hard for you to run this family
Oh yes, Yu Gau, is my boxer shorts dry now?
I need to take a shower
Harder
Right here
Good, don't bother to fold it
My pair of trousers is not ironed yet?
Oh yes, I want to remind you
Make sure the crease is not too sharp
Or it will cut people
Sure, I will iron it for you
Thank you
Really, a thank you and people have to work so hard for you
We don't have many women here in the house
And Sister has worked so hard all these years
She is not yet your in-law
Really?
Not yet?
It is for you, a man
May I know whom I am speaking to?
I see, what is your name?
How old are you?
You have an ID card?
Just kidding, I am sorry
Sure, all right, thank you
Shui, you have gone too far
It was Yu Gau's call
A man called her, you are not worried?
Who was it?
From the film company
They want you to attend a press conference
Tomorrow at 3:30 pm
Where is it held?
Which film company?
You have not asked him?
She will soon be Mrs Ming
Why bother with these people?
Right, I am not the leading actress
Whether I go there or not doesn't matter
You are not right
You have to be a responsible person
He said he would call later to tell you the details
Why didn't you say so?
Shui...when I was in the police force
They called this the ground to air missile
I thought dating a movie star is like this egg roll
It crumbles with a mere bite
Shui, touch wood
You spit and say it again
Only the bad ones will come true
Oops...only the good ones will come true
Hello? Producer Ho
Yes, speaking
I know
Tomorrow at 3:30pm
And the venue is?
I know...sure...l will be there
Should I prepare anything beforehand?
Great...that's it then
See you tomorrow, thank you
Sister...let us go out to play
Come on...go out to play
Aunt, you don't feel well
Let me do it, you take some rest
Daddy, what are you doing in the kitchen?
Come out here
The decoction is done, drink it
It is done?
Yes, if you find it bitter
Have some preserved plum
I am not a kid
Mommy, why you have to take decoction?
I don't feel well
Which part you don't feel well?
Let me give it a kiss and you will be all right
Silly kid
You are all wet, go take a shower
Later
Aunt, Uncle
What do you think about it?
What do we think?
Tin is such a great guy Of course you should marry him
You can't make films all your life
Don't think so much
Look at us, we are happy
Seeing them so happy
I too want to get married and have a family
But you and Brother Tin are getting married
You have settled on the date?
I was a bit rash then
I have not thought about it carefully
If I get married I can't make films anymore
No films, but you can still make Commercials
It is not the same
I know if I insist in making films after we have married
Brother Tin will not object to it
But it will affect our relationship
Yuk, I really am torn here
Yvonne said I should choose career over marriage
Aunt and Uncle said I should get married
What about you? What do you think I should do?
You may ask ten people for opinion
But at the end of the day
It is you who has to make the decision
Hurry UP
Where are we going? Where are you taking me
Over there
Just in front
How come it is closed? Indeed
Today is a public holiday, Miss Of course it is closed
You want to get married? Pick another day
Today is a public holiday
So it is fate
All right, over here
Closer, that's it
Closer, right, ready...
One more
How come you had this impulse?
Once we are registered It is settled for me
I will not have second thoughts
But we have made a deal
We give each other a month to think it over
Now that we both think it is not the right time
Why don't we wait a few years more?
Really?
When have I ever lied to you?
But Madam Cutie will be disappointed
Mrs Ming is a reasonable person
I will tell her
Next month is good, let me see
It is quite near The 8 th is an auspicious day
Look
All in here
Tin, you are back I am back
I have gone to the fortune-teller
He has picked an auspicious day for you
It is the 8 th of next month Really?
It was not easy to pick a right day
It can't coincide with your father's birth and death anniversary
And festivals like Ching Ming or Chung Yeung
Or family members' birthday
It was not easy at all
Mrs Ming, I hear that we shouldn't get married in the year of our zodiac sign
Shui's sign is Snake
This year is the year of the snake So it is ruled out
Me?
And your sign is the Horse
Next year is the year of the Horse so it is also ruled out
Horse?
The year following next year is the year of the Ram
Your sign is the Ram
That means it is ruled out for several years
Right
Madam Cutie
We mean to put it off for several years
Formula One race
What a quick turn, see
I told you so, see
Even the ring is saved
Even he Buddha has two faces
So it is no big deal if people make an about-face
Mrs Ming, don't you blame Yu Gau
We have talked it over
It is better for us if we put it off for several years
I told you
It was not settled
I am not angry, you don't mind it at all
Why should I?
But we are not some instant camera
That the true colours will be shown Instantly
I really can't tell
Of course you can't tell
If I were her, I wouldn't marry your son either
Who is he anyway?
She is the Pacific Best Actress now
Pacific Best Newcomer
Best Newcomer? Yes
She is different now
If I were her, I would put making money first
What? What did you say? What?
I won the Pacific Best Newcomer?
You didn't know it?
Really didn't?
No, how could we know?
I thought it was because of it, she...
No wonder you were all so hostile
You thought she refused to marry me once she won the award
You know the award is a regional award
It is for the Pacific region
I really...have won the award?
How could it be false?
Your agent Michael called and told us
Congratulations
I told you
Something lost, something gained, right?
It must be Michael again
Michael? Yes, I just learned of it
I am so happy
Really, I never thought I would win
Now? Sure, I am coming over
Well?
Michael said many reporters And people of the film company
They are waiting for me in the company
They want me to go over now
You go change, let me take you there
Yes
Let me change too
I thought you would be bridegroom
Now you just end up being the best man
A supporting cast, happy indeed
Mrs Ming, Yu Gau won the award
You are not happy for her?
It fell from my lips
How can I be happy? How can I be happy?
Yes, I like it
She is the one
Winnie, it is the chance of a lifetime
Mr Campion is an internationally renowned Director
Only internationally known stars can star in his films
He is going to shoot a Sine-US joint Production, Empress Cixi
He wants you to play the title role
Just sign this five year contract with the Hollywood studio
You can go to Hollywood to make films
Mr Campion is confident you will become
The first international Chinese actress
I have something for you
See what it is
You like it?
Yes, thank you, Brother Tin
Let me help you with it
What now?
Tell me
Hong Kong's night view really is beautiful
Don't you leave at night
Or you will not bear to go
Cousin, don't go
Cousin, don't go, we will miss you
I will miss you too
But I can't be so greedy
I can't own everything in the world
I have to give up some of them
I am sorry
Ask her not to go
May be she will stay
For me, she has given up a lot of Opportunities
If I force her to stay
It is not fair to her
I am leaving Hong Kong
You really won't ask me to stay?
You know it?
If you ask, I really will stay
Just say it
They are in the club, you don't go down?
Yuk, you take care
And take care of Brother Tin for me
3 Wan
Pong...3 Wan
I have nine wans now, nine I am going to be rich
7 Bamboo
Nine wans
I got it wrong
Nine wans, son
8 Circle
9 Wan? I have nine wans, Tin
What? Such a coincidence?
You think I won't make the hand?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you today?
You have lost so much to me
Thank you
Brother Tin, Yu Gau's car is here
Not even a goodbye
She's gone just like that
