Stand right there!
Harmony! Harmony! Let's sit down and talk it out!
You changed your major to Music without telling us about it
Ever considered our feelings?
She's wrong in hoodwinking us but she'll get a Master's Degree in Music
She'll graduate...only a year later She'll get to wear her graduation cap
It's not the same She can't make a living with music
All you care about is making money! My aspiration is to study music
It's great to have aspirations in life! Shut up!
You lied to us! If we hadn't found it out you'd have kept lying to us?
You're awesome, Cuz!
Shut up! If it hadn't been for you they wouldn't have found out about it!
Shut up! If it hadn't been for him I'd never have known you're so wilful!
If he's so awesome let him stay here forever
He'll have your room then Let him work at your travel agency!
Whatever, it's fine by me Shut up!
Your kid sister has another year to go Who's gonna pay for her tuition?
I don't care. She can pay for it herself I don't need you to pay for it!
With your spending money included you'll need $100,000 a year!
Earn and spend your own money then!
It's $100,000 a year?
Cuz, should I stay in your room
or the storage room tonight?
Shut up! I've got all these problems to deal with! Stop babbling!
I'm not through yet!
Your cup noodle smells real good but I've already brushed my teeth
Hush!
Not even one cup noodle left?
You're hungry, looking for food just like your sister?
You said you didn't want anything I bought
It's just a cup noodle
I bought it!
I won't eat it then
I never said you couldn't have it
It's my responsibility to take care of you But just don't push it!
I don't want the cup noodle I'm being too much now?
Harmony! Harmony! Don't fight over a cup noodle! Just get another one
It's normal to get hungry after a fight
No more cup noodles Have some crackers, Cuz
I won't eat the things he bought
I bought all the stuff here! So you won't eat any of it?
Have some bread! No!
I never said you couldn't eat it! You're just being stubborn. It's not my doing
You can't be siblings if you never fight over food
No one's ever fought with me
You're grown up, but you still fight This is wonderful!
He can have it!
You can have them to yourself
I don't want them
Mom! I'm so useless. I've always thought people should exist in harmony
But as soon as I got here, I got a ticket and was taken to the police station
Cuz's family is squabbling because of me!
I'm so useless! Wouldn't it be great if I were a great singer like you
that I could make everyone happy?
Going to work, Cuz?
I'm not a loafer like you!
Cuz, you're going to class?
Yep! I haven't graduated yet I still have to go to class for a year
Good morning, everybody Good morning Sophia
It's a full English Breakfast this morning Come on and eat!
Sophia, I don't want anything
I've got some sad news for you all I'm leaving today!
So soon? Stay behind for a few more days
Thank you for your hospitality I'll miss you all
But I caused you so much trouble I've decided to leave. Please don't be sad
You've gone through much trouble getting your ID card
Keep it safe or you can't get through the Immigrations
Actually, l...
I've packed up all your belongings in my room. Didn't leave out a thing
I'm so attentive! And efficient too!
You bet. You're my little cousin! I gotta take care of you
Seems like it's going to rain!
I have an umbrella here! Don't catch a cold
It's hard to catch a taxi in the rain
I've already called a taxi for you It'll be here in 5 minutes!
It'll take you straight to the train station!
You're quick!
Of course! You're our little cousin!
You guys are one at heart!
Sum, never mind them Don't make me stay, Sophia
OK. Say "hi" to your dad for me
Cuz, I hope you'll excel in your studies
Cuz, I hope you'll find a way to let off pressure and be happy at work
I've got all these problems At least I got one solved today
Can you help me with this one last thing?
What now?
Where I can pay my fine?
Any post office will do
I can pay fines at the post office? Can I send my mail at the police station?
Just go!
The weather tells of my mood!
I can't believe it! It stopped raining as soon as I got out here
You really want me to go? It's you again? Throwing trash again?
I'll pick it up right away I won't do it next time
You threw fish balls on the street last time You said you wouldn't do it again!
It's a big umbrella this time! I...
Forget it. You mainlanders are all the same ID card please
Good morning!
What is it?
You threw trash! You flouted the law!
I dropped my note pad
He dropped his umbrella Why couldn't he pick it up?
I've use for it
You've use of your note pad but he has no use of his umbrella?
Per the Race Discrimination Ordinance
the Equal Opportunities Commission states
that anyone who treats people less favourably
on the basis of their race
is guilty and liable to charges
You're a public officer yet you're flouting the law
You can be charged with misconduct. Besides you said something discriminatory just now
Forget it. You mainlanders are all the same ID card please
I wonder what will happen if I put it on the internet?
Let's talk it out
Sorry. I think I've made a mistake
We're Chinese. Why would we discriminate against our fellow countrymen, right?
Right!
I won't take up more of your time Good day!
Wait! What is it now?
You can't give out your tickets without your note pad
Thanks! Bye
Thank you, Ma'am. You've taken a little unpleasantness out of this trip
You're here for leisure?
It's a long story. I'm on my way home now
Come back when you have time
Don't throw away your umbrella The Observatory says it's gonna rain
You're so nice! I don't know if I get a chance to come back again
If all the Hong Kong girls were like you there'd be sunshine everywhere
Don't blame them Hong Kong people are under great pressure
You're a generous hearted Zhong Girl! Say that again?
I mean a generous hearted Chinese Girl
You're an awesome noodle! What?
A nerdy but cute guy!
You're making me blush!
The taxi is here! See you Bye!
What an elegant Zhong Girl! I wish I had her long legs
It's you? I'm here to see Sophia
Miss Yik Sophia, Benjamin is sick
He asked me to bring this graduation gift for your granddaughter
He's got it done! Here it is
Thank you. It's so early
I bet you haven't had breakfast Come in and eat before you go
We're happy you can join us for breakfast
Ching-ching, this is Miss Yik
My granddaughter, Ching-ching
Miss Yik
Have a nice chat
Congratulations on getting your master's degree
Sophia really dotes on you. She bought you an l-Lad for your graduation gift
Benjamin couldn't put it together in time or you could have got it earlier. Sorry
Help yourself Thank you, Sophia
What are your plans?
Sophia said you studied law You'd like to be a barrister or a solicitor?
What's can you do if you can't make it at your studies?
Getting good grades isn't important
No, it's not She couldn't even get any grades
Just don't gyp or scam people off like
coaxing them to queue up for parallel goods but never paying them in full
or do just about anything to get a commission
Don't ever become a tour guide A tour guide has a sense of responsibility
Some people don't even have a basic sense of responsibility
Like finishing their breakfast!
I'm sorry. My honey really dotes on his sister
She has just made him mad Anyway, come on, eat
My trip here has finally come to an end
No one will buy me dinner if you're gone
I'll buy you dinner when you come visit me in Dongguan
I'm gonna miss you!
This is nuts! A through train ticket costs $190!
I've just got $110 left. That's not enough to get a ticket to come home
Luckily, I get to earn some reminbi with my performance in the Mainland
I'll have money to get a ticket for the return journey and pay my rent
Hello Hello, Mung Lo?
Uncle Yiu-ming? I'll be boarding soon I got a ticket...
You don't have to come up here That singer says he'll perform now
I'll have you stand in if someone fails to show up next time
But I've already got the ticket! Uncle Yiu-ming...Hello?
I just wanted to make a small living! Why toy with me?
Ma'am, no smoking in public transport facilities
Stay out of my business. Scram
Trust me! If you don't abide by the law here, you'll be fined
If you grab my hand like this here, I can sue you for sexual assault, you'll be fined
I don't know you, nutcase!
Wait! I know you from somewhere! You're the judge at the Super Voice audition
You know I'm famous, huh? I remember your face but not your name
You're a mainland tourist! How many famous local singers do you know?
If you're a singer, all the more you should not smoke. It's bad for your singing voice
It won't It will
I said "it won't" I said "it will"
It won't! It will!
I said "it won't" I said "it will"!
The night is long
All is quiet
In the moonlight dim...
Awesome!
Mary? Mung Lo?
Mary...Mung Lo? (Marilyn Monroe?)
Whoa! What is it with you? You can't make a living out on Temple Street
so you're dressed up like a Christmas tree performing here at the train station?
I'm just making a living here
Actually I was going to have a show in the Mainland
A show? Congratulations
Could I give you a lift? My car is licensed for cross-boundary driving
You won't have to get all tired from being crammed up on a train, OK?
I don't want to impose Oh, I'm sorry. I can't give you a lift!
I've to rush to the Mainland to pick up the God of Songs
He's having a concert at the Coliseum
You're just a nobody I can't help you out
It's OK
It's a good thing you're singing for those mainland peasants
No one wants to hear you sing here
Oh! You're Mung Lo? God is too kind to us
We've run into a big star like you!
Can I have my T-shirt autographed? Don't think so!
Can I have your autograph too? Don't think so
Look at you! You don't even dare sign an autograph! You're so mousy!
No wonder your husband and son left you!
Say what you will about me. Leave my husband and son out of it. Chan Tai-man!
How dare you call me by my full name! Why not? I gave you your stage name!
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today!
Don't talk to me about the past!
Look at you now! Why would you care?
If I'd made it to the 18 District Amateur Singing Contest, you wouldn't have won!
Oh yeah, they're holding the 3rd annual comeback contest
Enter it if you've got what it takes and have your revenge
They're having a team challenge this year You have enough students?
I can lend you mine
I've got plenty of students!
What?
Those two twits?
They're good enough to beat you
We'll see about that
Continue with your singing lessons
Miss Lo, you'll really take us as your students?
You helped me out just now. I'll honour my words! I'll teach you to sing
Great! Thanks
Excuse me!
Hello, Uncle Yiu-ming? Another singer is not showing up? I'll come right away
I'm sorry. I have a job to do. See you
How can we get in touch with you?
I've put it in your pocket!
Mung Lo's Night Club
She's using another person's name card!
We've come face to face and you won't even say "hi"!
I've never seen any brothers as petty minded
You guys are back Go wash up and have dinner
Hi, cuzs! You came home together?
Why are you here?
After thinking it through, I've decided to stay behind a little longer
What?
We're family! Isn't it great we can spend more time together?
Of course not! Our flat is small We have no room for him here
I don't take up much space!
We have different life styles We won't get along!
Harmony is the key! Harmony!
He just can't stay!
You're guys are in unison! You've patched things up!
Who says?
I've already said he could stay here Don't argue about it anymore
Sophia!
If I don't get to stay, I might be so distraught that I'd burst out secrets
The place gets a lot more lively with you around
You'd agree?
If you like him so much he can stay in your room
That's a good suggestion!
Hello, Dad
You OK, brat? Where are you?
Hong Kong
I'm really in Shenzhen now! When will you be here? We'll go back to Dongguan together
My mind's made up I'm staying for a while longer
You haven't been punished for going to HK without telling me
You're gonna get it this time! Go home with me!
I've got some unfinished business here
What's so important about it?
You've got to come back so that we can register the airport under your name
Hello! Bad reception!
Sorry, due to the solar storm, the earth's magnetic field has been affected
We'll restore the system as soon as we can Thank you. Good bye
Brat! Pretending it was a bad reception What an old trick! I'm coming to get you
Give me some food! Scram!
Give me some food! What a pest! Scram!
Hey! Stop right there!
You're so tall and strong! You are good kungfu material
I'll teach you!
I'm tall and strong to you?
I can't trust you at all I'd rather have my singing lessons
Singing lessons? Right up front
Looking for fun for the first time? I'm not here for fun. I'm here to learn
Tell me what you want to learn I'll show you
I don't think you know yourself well You should act your age, Auntie
Beat it!
Mung Lo's Night Club This has got to be it
Anyone there...
No one's here
Miss Mung Lo! I know you're in there!
Miss Mung Lo!
It's you! What do you want?
I want to take singing lessons
Singing, huh? Wait here
Mung Lo's Entertainment Company Ltd, Mung Lo's International Performing Arts Academy
Miss Mung Lo runs a multi-business operation
Come in!
You changed fast!
Thank you! This is for you!
Thanks! Don't mention it
What's your name? Choi Sum
Have you had dinner yet? Yes!
Don't stand on ceremony!
Wah, Mung Lo here! I want braised lobster with noodles, crispy fried oysters
abalone with heart of cabbage fried pork ribs with salad sauce
The restaurant is just downstairs They'll deliver the food soon
I feel terrible. This is my first visit and you're treating me to dinner
Don't stand on ceremony You're buying dinner
What? Sit down!
What is it that you want?
You said you'd take me as your student when we were at the train station
I'm so honoured, that's why I came here for my singing lesson
You want to learn to sing?
You know what the most important thing is about singing?
The voice? No
Feelings? No
Passion? No
Then what?
The fee for lessons!
How much does a lesson cost? $4,800!
Whoa, that's expensive! It's the rent
I'm having a class with a student! We'll talk about it later
We've nothing to talk about I just want my rent!
I'll pay you after I finish my lesson
You've brought lots of money for your singing lesson?
Can I just pay for today's rent first?
You don't have the money then Don't call me heartless!
This probably costs... No! The organ is my life!
Well, then sleep out on the street with your organ
Either the organ goes or you go
Can you come get it later?
OK
You said "OK"!
I'll make this clear! You'll pay this month's rent with the organ
You'll be sleeping out on the street if you can't pay rent next month
Miss Mung Lo, don't be sad! You can never get your organ back!
As you can see, I don't even have an organ I can't teach you anymore. Go away
Don't be sad! At least you don't get to sleep out on the street this month
But next month... Beat it!
Take out! $576 please!
Take out? Choi Sum! He just vanished!
You're going nowhere unless you pay up
Pay up?
You changed your major to Music without telling us about it
Ever considered our feelings? You're going to lie about it forever?
What is it?
You haven't gone home for dinner after class these past couple of days
You wanna starve here or what?
I don't wanna see my brother
He dotes on me the most but he doesn't understand me at all
I wanted to tell him, but I didn't know how
So you lied I didn't want to!
Ever heard this before? A woman wants love, a man wants respect
If he can't feel that you respect him how do you expect him to love him?
So if you want him to respect you you have to love him
If he feels that you respect him then he'll love you
OK. Stop preaching! I've had enough of it these past few days
What do you want to do?
I'm sad
What will make you happy?
Play the erhu for me
I haven't done that for a long time But for you, I'll play it again
Honey!
Sophia, you're up late You too!
Where the heck is my sister?
Still mad?
You bet! She lied to me
She has lied to you and it hurts Have you ever lied to her? To us?
No! When have I ever lied to you?
Come on! I'm not saying that you have
Why get all uptight about it?
I'm not!
We feel bad if we've got something to hide
She must've felt awful hiding it from us
If you love her, would you want her to do what you think is right?
or what she wants to do?
You're her big brother Don't be so petty minded
Have a big heart! Be a model!
Don't get all philosophical!
But I do get it. Thank you
You're welcome!
Take these clothes to her room
Yes, Madam
What are you doing?
Nothing!
What are you hiding? Nothing...
You're peeking in her diary!
Don't you know what privacy means?
You've no rights to be in her room or to read her diary!
I was looking for something to read
Cuz has such a great writing style I thought I was reading a novel
You've gone too far You shouldn't have read her diary
I didn't mean to
But when I got to this part about "l respected my brother the most...
He was my guiding light and would forever be my sheltering harbour"
I couldn't help reading on!
Which page?
38! The last few lines!
I always thought my brother was the nicest guy in the world
Don't bother with reading the rest
But after knowing Chiu-chiu I realised he's the nicest guy in the world
I told you not to bother
Who's Chiu-chiu?
I've no idea!
You stayed out all night. Where were you? Singing at the karaoke's
With whom? Chiu-chiu?
Who's he?
You read my diary!
Why can't I know about it?
Don't you know what privacy means?
Don't talk to me about privacy!
You never told me you'd changed your major or that you were dating
What else are you keeping from me? I didn't mean to keep anything from you
I just don't have to tell you everything
What's this about a diary?
I'm accountable here
No, she is! Her heart isn't into studying at all
How do you know? You don't go to class with me?
You only have dating in mind No wonder you couldn't graduate
You're just being unreasonable!
If I were, why would I toil and put you through school? It's hard earned money
That doesn't mean you can control me
I won't bother with you anymore
Pay for your own tuition Earn what you spend
Go travelling with your own money
Being a breadwinner isn't everything I don't need you to take care of me
I don't want these books! I don't need any of these!
You don't need anything, right?
Honey! Cuz!
Why throw such a fit? He's your brother
You don't want this keyboard?
Honey! Cuz
Ching-ching!
Cuz!
Ching-ching...
You really don't want it?
I've chunked it and I won't take it back
What a waste!
Don't you dare pick it up for her!
I definitely won't
Honey Sophia!
Have some tea Thanks
You've calmed down now? There's just you and me here
Stop putting on your big brother act!
I never did
There's just you and your sister You've to take care for her
If something happens to me she'll be your only family!
It's not that I don't want to take care of her. She finds me controlling
Siblings don't hold grudges She knows you dote on her
She had always wanted a keyborad ever since she was small
She'd stare at the keyboard when she passed by the shop
She'd walk away afterwards She never begged us to get it for her
She knew we were poor then
She was young, but very considerate
Then when you got your first pay check you bought her that keyboard
She was so excited she couldn't sleep that night
You had to eat bread rolls for a whole month after buying her the keyboard
The keyboard holds so much special meaning Why did you throw it out in a fit?
She didn't want it!
If the keyboard didn't mean anything to her why would she cry like mad?
Whether it's law or music she's still studying
What counts is the family and that we're all happy.. happy!
But you can't make a living with music!
That's not true. Every trade has its master
Bill Gates never finished college but he had aspirations
He's become famous all over
Take your time and figure out about what you need to do, OK?
Where's the keyboard?
In the refuse room
I've sung karaoke with you all night long and you wanted me to come over now
OK! I'm at the door! Open up!
Stop it!
You've finally cried along with me!
You happy now?
A little. What about you?
I'm not!
What would make you happy then?
Help me get my keyboard back
Someone took it away
Who?
Your cousin! He had the keyboard with him downstairs. He was waiting for someone
Choi Sum again!
You poor thing! Even your cuz bullies you
Stop crying! Let's go and get the keyboard
What took you so long, Puny?
I risked my life getting here I haven't had breakfast yet! I could die
Help me here, quick!
You can lift a ton without having breakfast
I bet you'd be able to lift a car after eating
Let's go!
Why are you stealing my keyboard? Stop the van
Get a taxi!
Driver, follow the blue van right in front
Don't let it get away. They've got my important stuff with them!
The blue van! Quick!
Please hurry!
Stay close to it! It's in front. Don't let it get away!
Overtake it
How? The road is too narrow!
Hurry, please!
Miss, I'm driving a taxi, not a police car!
We are losing them! What are we gonna do?
Chill out!
The red light! They've got away! What should we do?
Stop crying! You're getting on my nerves!
Green light! Start the car...Turn right Look for a van! A blue van
It's not here!
Where is it? Can't see it?
Can't see the van. What should we do?
Look for it! Stop crying! Look for it!
Over there!
Stop the car! Keep the change!
This is the entrance It's here!
Hurry! They're upstairs
This is such a sleazy place! Let's go
No! You saw them bringing the keyboard here Let's look for it some more
There're so many units here We'll search every one of it!
Every one of it?
Miss Mung Lo...
What are you doing here?
I'm here for my lesson
I don't have an organ I can't teach you singing! Go away!
An organ, right? Not a problem
This keyboard might not be of much help. At least you've got two students
It's hard to find a good teacher
I haven't had breakfast! Can we go in? I can't hold on to it any longer
Come in Watch it!
What's your price, sweetie? A golden pussycat here?
Don't come near me! I'll sue you for sexual harassment
The sound of keyboard. Over there...
It's here
Choi Sum!
You stole my keyboard!
I didn't steal it! I asked Cuz repeatedly He said he didn't want it
That's why I took it I'm just recycling trash!
You're saying my keyboard is trash! You're trash!
This keyboard is important to me I'm bringing it back
Siu-sin, let's take it back
No! What's the point of taking it back? Your brother will get mad
Cuz threw such a fit He's gone overboard!
It's none of your business Don't talk about him like this!
He threw out your keyboard You're still siding with him?
Why are you crying now?
You and brother have always been so close Why has it come to this? I feel so sad
This may be an old keyboard but it must have cost a lot then
It's real expensive. My brother bought it for me with his first pay check
We were very poor then
He had to tighten his belt to get the keyboard for me
He knew I loved playing the keyboard
He knows you love the keyboard, but he won't let you study music. He's a tyrant!
Don't you say that about my brother!
Harmony...Live and learn
Your brother's too much! He bought you an expensive keyboard.Why did he throw it away?
He wasn't like that before
He's doing it for my own good He feels that...
Studying music is not practical It's a waste of time
There's no future for you
He used to dote on you, but then somehow, he's changed
Perhaps it was after he started working. He never wore a smile when he got home, right?
I know all about that...Not being accepted but laughed at and yelled at
I've been through it all!
But I really love music, so much so that I don't know how to express it
so I've composed songs hoping I can sing for them
Me too!
Really? I've written a song for my brother
What is it called?
Brother's Song
But what's the use? He won't listen to it
Silly girl! He doesn't know you've written a song for him
How would you know if he doesn't want to listen to it?
If you don't sing it to him now, you'd regret not ever having the chance to do it
I was playing the keybound just now Maybe it's too old, it sounds awful
That's because you know nothing about playing the keyboard
So what if you know how to play it you dare not play your song!
Who says?
Play it then
Brother... you and I together... playing, travelling and watching movie
From morning 'til night My life is filled with surprises
Simple is beautiful... What a melodious tune!
I think it's called Brother's Song Say that again?
Brother's Song She wants to sing it to her brother!
Here A pair of old shoes...
Brother, when I'm with you, I'm mad but I still have praises for you
From morning 'til night my happiness never ends
You're my best friend, my companion
