How come you have my mom's photos? That's because...
I know who you are
You do?
You're my mom's fan!
A fan?
Dad told me Mom had lots of fans But I didn't believe him
You've got so many of her photos here I believe it now. My mom was so pretty then
Yes. I'm your mom's...fan!
A rat!
Dad!
What are you doing here? What did you come out for?
You guys...
He's here...
For a singing lesson
A singing lesson?
She's internationally known
Even Lady Gwa-gwa seeks input from her
when she's in HK
What were you doing just now?
I was... Practising breathing
Right Keep going!
Face the door! Hands up! What is it with you? You've been robbed or something?
Turn around! Put your hands up! Raise your head, bend your knees
Lift your chest, tummy in Control your diaphragm and hold the air
Like how? Breathe heavily
That's enough. Now belt it out
Your voice sounds a lot brighter now
Indeed! You're awesome!
That's it for the day. You can go Come on son, let's go. Get all your stuff
See you! Bye!
Why were you over at Mung Lo's Nightclub?
To take my singing lessons. You were there
How did you find out where she was?
I asked Sophia and she gave me the name card, so... I'm here to take you home
I'll be in my room
You said she's a good teacher Let me stay for a while longer
No way
You get your singing lessons, but I can't? Yep
Why? No explanations. Let's go
I don't want to go
What happened? Yat-kit, what is it? Sophia, I'm taking this brat home
So soon?
We had dinner last night No outstanding matters, right?
Want another dinner? No, thanks!
Cuzs!
Help me out here
Listen to Uncle. Go home
You'll do well on the mainland
If I go back, some people won't be able to enter the contest
I may spill out someone's secrets too
Uncle... Yeah?
We're very democratic here Whoever wants Cuz to stay, raise your hands
1, 2, 3, 4! 4 "yes" and 1 " nay"
Sit over there, Cuz After you guys!
Don't worry, we'll look after him Thanks. Sit down
Hello, I'm on my way. Thank you Dad, rushing off somewhere?
It's the 8th Conference on Talents and Timber Development in Dongguan tonight
You can't be late for such an important conference! Get going...
They're so nice to you Behave yourself. Don't be a disgrace!
I won't! Honest! Don't fret! Bye Dad. Thanks Dad!
You think Miss Mung Lo is your dad's mistress?
My feelings are mixed
I want to be her student, but I don't want her to see my dad all the time
Be gentle!
I am being gentle!
Don't exert any force then!
This is great!
You've wanted to know who the other woman was
You've found out by chance. Accept her then
I saw them together Why wouldn't they tell me the truth?
They must have their reasons Don't push them
Your motto is harmony, isn't it?
That doesn't mean I must pretend like I don't know anything
What do you want to do?
Find out more!
I was looking for you all these years
I've finally found you, son but I can't tell you I'm your mom!
I'm right here in front of you but you don't know I'm your mom
Maybe God thinks my re-appearance will ruin your future?
Hello? Mung Lo
Uncle Yiu-ming! I'm sorry I was couldn't show up that day. You're big hearted
I'll treat you to tea I'm cool with it. Got a job for you
Really? That's great. Where? Foshan or Zhongshan?
You'll be on a cruise liner for a few days!
You'll get money to pay a few months' rent
That's great! I'm in!
I'll wait for you at the pier
I'll start packing
I'm gonna be rich!
Hello?
Miss Mung Lo, you said you'd give me a private lesson
Choi Sum? I'm on my way out I've got work to do! I won't have time
Be back in a few days What is it?
I'm having a lymphatic massage
You gave me a fret. Have a good massage I'll call you guys when I get back
Listen to your dad. Take up business from him, all right? Bye
Hello!
What did she say?
That I should pick up business from my dad
Anything else?
Have a good lymphatic massage
BB, do we really have to do this? Come on!
This is a chance to make money!

Our motto is to cater to our customers' needs. They love these movies

A lot of people have booked the tour Business is bound to bloom
I'm not used to leading these tours
If I had my licence, I'd be the guide! But I don't have it!

You are in charge!

Fancy running into you Going to the movies with your girlfriend?

The Adventures of Boraemon
We're watching that too
Sorry, the gentleman with the white and blue striped shirt and grey pants
You forgot your bellyband and the photo book
She's calling out to you
Don't think so! Gotta go
Miss Yik, what is "4D Sex and the Cushions"? Is it a good movie?
I got the tickets for someone I'm here to watch Boreamon
Fill out and sign the form, bring it back and we'll follow it through for you, OK?
Thank you, Miss Yik Don't mention it. Bye kids
We've gotta go. Say "bye" to Miss Yik Bye! We'll go to another movie next time
OK. Bye! Bye!
Miss Yik I thought you were going to the movies
Sorry. I set a bad example for the kids didn't I?
I understand why you guys love to watch those kinds of movies
Hold tight to your tickets next time. You shouldn't expose kids to that sort of things
I had a hard time explaining the connections between Sex and the Cushions and Boraemon
I'm sorry about it It's a misunderstanding
Business is down, Shuk-ching wants to organise some fringe tours to make money
Come off it! Why wouldn't you admit it was your doing?
Why let a woman shoulder it? You've got no backbones!
She lost her licence I just let her do whatever she wants
What other tours is she organising then?
She has ideas other than the fringe tours
She's planning a different kind of cultural tours...Cougar on the Prowl Tour!
Is there a spot left?
Miss Yik, other tours are expensive Is there a discount if we join yours?
You bet! 20% discount!
Benjamin, I never said I wanted in
Thanks for you kind thoughts, Mr Ng Go prepare for your "Cushions" Tours
You're organising the "X Cushions" Tours?
You're interested too?
Benjamin!
I'd better go
Benjamin. The correct pronunciation is "Sex" and the Cushions. See you
Save it, Benjamin
Forget about getting me these online dates I'm not going
See if you're interested in this?
Prepare a few hundred bucks as gift money Call them up to say I'm busy. Same as always
This isn't the same What's not the same?
Your first love...Leon of Sham Shui Po is getting married
What a coincidence...
What a...
What a coincidence. See you
You OK? I didn't mean it
I'm fine. I'd be mad if someone else did this to me, but not you
It's only a movie. Why are you so sad?
I'm scared my love will leave me one day It's not gonna happen
You won't ever leave me?
I won't. Not like that in the movie
What?
My family is emigrating. Goodbye!
Well? You going or not?
Why not?
I do
Throw the bouquet, quick Give it to me
You caught the bouquet?
from the wife of your first boyfriend Is this a cruel joke or what?
Yik Suet-fei, thank you for coming to our wedding
You caught the bouquet! I hope it'll bring you happiness
Thanks. I wish you both a blissful marriage
Thank you
I'm home, Benjamin!
Come here
Sit down
What is it with you?
Just to see if you've been crying?
Why would I do that?
You really OK? Talk to me if you feel unhappy
I can lend you a shoulder to cry on You can lean on me
I'm really happy. Save it for your gals!
Your first love is getting married You're happy about it?
Are you putting on a brave front?
I'm telling the truth
You kept nagging me about it I thought I couldn't let go of him
After attending the wedding, I know for sure, I've let go of everything
For real? Yes!
When I shook his hand, I really wished them a blissful life. His wife must be so happy!
I'll find a man who'll love me the way Jacky did
You sure about it? His wife is 38 too!
She got married at 38, you should be... I'm done talking here
Gonna get changed, take a shower You should hurry...Listen...
I'm getting changed. Don't follow me!
Good morning, everybody Good morning, Sophia
Breakfast's ready! Help yourselves Thank you, Sophia
Finally, the whole family can have breakfast together
We fight over the breakfast you make
What about dinner?
I'll get off work early. I'll be home
I'm free after school. Count me in
I'm loafing every day. I'll be here
I wonder if someone's boyfriend will be here for dinner?
I'm OK with that. If it's all right I'm OK with that too
Thanks, Brother
I'll get it
Good morning Good morning, Uncle
You're early!
The early bird catches the worm
We don't eat worms for breakfast
Good morning, Aunt!
I told you not to call me that!
You here on business?
No. I've got some good news I came here to tell you about it
What is it?
Sum, I ran into an old townsfolk last night
He has a ribbon cutting ceremony for his new lot
I told him you could perform a song or two
They're just selling properties Why would they want someone to sing?
Maybe it's a slow market Just go on your own
Son, give me face and you give others face
If you don't give others face you don't give me face
It's just the same if you sing for them Gotta go pee
Sum! What is it?
Coach Chan just called. He used to teach you basketball, remember?
He's retiring. He's having a dinner party
Let's go home
The coach who hit me on my head all the time? I really hate him
A teacher for a day is a teacher for life You should respect him
He's taught you well A strict teacher produces talented students
I'm probably short because he kept hitting me on my head
You got here early. Have some breakfast
I've made black truffles on toast
Great
Help yourself Thanks
Well? Yummy?
Yum... "yup mei"
"yup mei" (tasty)?
It's not yummy?
It's a good Chinese translation! Now I know what yummy means
What is it? Something's the matter?
My tooth hurts when I bite
Really? It's just toast
Maybe my wisdom tooth is coming out
At 50 something?
What's so unusual about that? I only had chicken pox last year
For real?
But I recuperated fast! My immune system is strong
Honey, take him to a dentist
I have to rush back to the travel agency. I don't have time
I've got school!
I'll get Sum to come with me, OK?
There's a good dentist just down the street I'll get you his name card
It's OK. A dentist just has to be skilled
I've got my own dentist back home Sum, come along with me
Go back on your own Tell me how it goes
It's just a visit to the dentist You can handle it! I'm full!
You... brat!
Come in!
Mr Sung! It's you!
I got the information for you
Come back tomorrow
But today's the deadline
Why didn't you come earlier? I made it here before 5 :00!
Put it down and leave
There're 24 items here! Gotta explain them all to you
so that you'd know, though I'm broke I'm honest and reliable
Tell me then
I won't take up much of your time
I'll explain them all to you Fine
The first item is transportation fee
I've highlighted it in red OK!
The second item is... Got it
The third is... OK!
I haven't said anything yet, and it's OK?
You want me to say it's not OK?
No... But...
You're pulling a filibuster or what?
Absolutely not!
OK. The meeting's over
But I haven't... I said it's over
OK. See you!
Question! When's our next appointment? I can come and explain it to you
I'll notify you! OK. See you!
Question!
All those items you said were OK
Should I give additional info next time? Can't answer you now
OK. OK. See you!
Question...Didn't you just say "OK"?
You want me to extend your bankruptcy period?
No...I'll see you!
Hello, Ching-ching?
Yeah! But I'm in a hurry... OK! Be right there
What's so urgent?
My brother wants to have dinner with us tonight
Not tonight
Why not?
Don't you remember? Gwa Gwa is here Gotta pay her pilgrimage. Gwa Gwa!
My brother's finally agreed to see you I've told him it was OK
Why didn't you ask me beforehand?
Is Gwa Gwa more important than my brother? You're more important
But Gwa Gwa is expensive. I spent more than a thousand bucks on her ticket!
OK. Tomorrow night, then I gave you one day notice
I can't
Why not?
I got the ticket to see Gwa Gwa
What about the night after that? It's the last show!
The night after that? She'll be in Macau
You can't miss any of her shows?
You don't understand. Opportunities like this don't come easy
I can have dinner with your brother anytime Who knows if Gwa Gwa will ever be back?
Forget it! Just go! OK
You're really leaving? I'm in a rush. The airport is far away!
Just go!
Whoa! Gwa Gwa! Ooh la la...
Yeah!
I thought Gwa Gwa was here You're so totally Gwa Gwa
You too! You feel it too?
I can smell it! As tribute to Gwa Gwa's meat dress, you had your steak blue rare
How did you know?
The effect would be bigger if you ate it raw!
You'd look more sharp if the lobster on your head could wiggle a bit more
You'd be taller if you wore thicker platform shoes
If you wrapped yourself a little better
you'd create a pattern and the layers would stand out more
I knew that even if you didn't tell me. You won't know about this if I don't tell you
I'm Monica D Sung Wai-chiu!
Wai-chiu? It's a cool name
Wow
Honey! I haven't been in HK for a long time
I don't know why I really miss you tonight
Honey! Our son is all grown up
He doesn't listen to what I say I can't fool him anymore
I've told him all these lies because I wanted him to go home with me
He's so smart! I can't fool him!
He's got your DNA! He loves to sing Of course he's got my back!
I'll let him stay so that he can build his career. But I'll miss him
He doesn't know your death anniversary is coming up in a few days
It really doesn't matter If you were here, you'd do what I do
You'd sacrifice yourself for him I'm just helping you fulfil your wish
I can bear a little loneliness
Keep this! No
Aunt! Don't stand on ceremony
You've been taking care of that brat
We're family! We shouldn't be petty-minded
Just take it
It's more than $10,000! Let's split it
Sophia... Sophia, you and Uncle both have a point
I'll make a decision here
We'll use the money to set up a Choi Sum Foundation
He can use the money if he comes here next time
I'll do as you say. Keep the money
You two must come here often I'll miss you guys!
I'll come here more often As for him, I've gotta think about it
I've made you some English cookies to bring home
You're much too kind. I'll help you
All right. OK!
That's several months' spending money here
You were living off us all this time You should pay for it with this
We'll put these two bills in your fund
Shuk-ching! Hush! You don't know your math
You sure know how to milk money!
You're happy living here, right?
Behave yourself when you're home
Remember to practise! We've got a contest!
I'm more concerned about that than you are I'll be back in a few days!
Why are you leaving anyway?
We couldn't kick you out of here! Why leave on your own accord now?
It's my mom's death anniversary in a few days. I wanna keep my dad company
Take care
Spend more time with Uncle! I will...
Yat-kit! Bring these snacks along
You're much too kind. What a treat Don't mention it
Let's go, Sum
Say "thanks" to Great Aunt Thanks, Sophia...
I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much!
Have a safe trip!
See yourselves out Thanks. Bye!
Oh no! This is it...Oh no! This is really serious!
What's this century's greatest invention? The air-con!
Siu-shan, what is it? We're a goner!
What is it?
Lots of people have signed up for the dating tour!
You should be happy about it
I am. But Santino has snatched up all our lady guests
We'll have to cancel the tour?
If we get this off the ground, we'll make a big profit. If we don't, we'll go broke
You're right! They're all eligible bachelors and professionals
They'll sue us if this falls through
We've gotta find some presentable unwanted single women around!
Where can we find them? I know one, but she's not single
Who?
Shuk-ching! She's my fiancee!
She's the prettiest girl I've ever known What?
We've got to think of something
There's one. But before I go see her write a cheque for me
What?
I'm sincere about inviting you to our Cougar on the Prowl Tour
Just think, fate is waiting
I don't care about that I believe in feelings
If that works, why are you still single?
You're quite OK... I know
Pretty... I know that too
Tall, slim with long legs!
You stare at my legs all the time?
Benjamin told me. Benjamin again!
He keeps hard selling you in front of others. Don't let him worry about you
I'll get a headache if I don't get this done, he'll worry all the more
Just leave me alone
There're problems every day!
A single unwanted woman is pitiable. More pitiable is when she suffers a headache
But most pitiable of all is that she gets her dad worried
What are you babbling about?
I'm scratching my head over the the Sichuan Cultural Exchange Group
Is that it? I'll take care of it
I'd get all the help I wanted if I had the budget. Why would I need you?
We don't talk about money here
You bought your sister an organ and a diary with my money
I'm trustworthy and reliable
I shoulder my responsibilities
I sincerely invite you to our dating tour Just be yourself
If you don't like to socialise, then don't
It's like going to dinner and playing games
No!
Look. I'm you, and you're a new immigrant
I'm putting together a Getting-to-know- each-other workshop
So just join in. It's that simple!
If you get to meet Mr Right then it's a win-win situation
I won't take part in it!
Open the door. And, give it up!
Stop it. I'm not going
There's nothing to lose for you
I'd be totally lost if I went
Hi, how did you know I'd show up?
Chan Chi-mei, what are you doing here?
I learnt so much last time! I want you to see my brand new look!
I know you miss your high school days so I'm here with my high-school look
Who told you that? Benjamin!
I knew it!
Miss Yik, I'd like to invite you to a candle lit dinner at a high school
A candle lit dinner at a high school?
I'm working part-time at a high school nearby
No one's around at night. I'll take you there. Rest assured that it'll be romantic
Forget it, "kid"! She's won't go out with you tonight
Why?
She's taking part in our travel agency's Cougar on the Prowl Tour
No way! Miss Yik won't do that!
Cool it! Let me ask you: You have a car?
A house? A yacht?
Are you rich? See? You've got nothing You're no match to our eligible bachelors
You're into this sort of stuff?.
Unless you become a success like them don't bother her anymore
I get it. Thanks, Miss Yik I've learnt a lot here again
Miss Yik, I'd never have guessed!
You're into this dating stuff! I am not
It's OK. We get it!
You promised you'd go!
I didn't! I was only lying to him!
I'll go after him and tell him the truth
Hey! What is it that you want? You're threatening me now?
I'm not! It's a sincere invitation!
Ng Ka-yee!
If you take part in this, I'll help you with your cultural exchange group
Need an extra person?

We've saved the best for last! Don't be over excited now!
The portly beauty Puny! Oh no!
Truly awesome!
Hong Kong has a lot more girls than guys but there're not many gorgeous girls around
So grab your chance
Our eligible bachelors were carefully selected from different regions in Guangdong
They are top of the crop...
The financial tycoon, Kim Shan-shui Heartthrob back from overseas, Leonardo
Retro Scholar O Li Fitness hunk Chin Chong-chong
Japanese-Chinese novelist Odagiri No
We won't take up any more of your time Let's begin
Hi, I'm a fireman!
You can talk to me in Cantonese
Would you girls like something to drink?
Yes, please Be right back
How about some soft drinks?
You're getting soft drinks, or just showing off your muscles?
If I don't do this you won't get anything to drink
I can't stand it Let's hang around somewhere else
What about having an in-depth discussion with me?
OK
The terracotta army in Xian...
I'm sorry. She's just my co-worker We're in administration
Miss, interested in having an in-depth discussion with me?
You know anything about archaeology? What tale are you going to tell?
Archaeology!
The archaeologists in Xian are facing a problem in regard to Emperor Qin's...
From all that I've told you what do you find most interesting?
What?
The most interesting should be when they put a terracotta warrior's head onto its body
They found that it looked exactly like basketball star Yao Ming!
What are you laughing about? Why are you laughing if it's not funny?
A successful scholar must always question himself
Don't even think of asking me to go talk to him again!
I thought you might be hungry Want anything to eat?
Hey, sweetie! Hi
Ever read any English poems? You can talk to me in Cantonese
Old MacDonald, he had a farm
The London Bridge is falling down E-I-E-I-O! Twinkle, twinkle, Little Star
Help! Why wouldn't you guys talk to me in Cantonese!
From where did you get all these guys?
Consider this an experience. As social worker, you deal with all sorts of people
If I put up with them any longer I'll need to consult a psychiatrist
Aren't you exaggerating?
You don't believe it? Take a look!
You've caught my eyes all night long What a romantic! You're...
Oda...Odagiri No. I love cooking especially chopping up food!
I love cooking too Really?
I've stored all these recipes in my phone
Give me your number and I'll send them to you
OK
Excuse me Where are you off too?
Don't wanna get in the way
What a pal you are!
Mr Kim Miss, mind if I asked you your age?
38!
You'll be 40 in two years! After a woman turns 25
she'll have to take one point off of herself with every add-on year
You've deducted any points off of yourself?
If it's more than 10 points there's a 5% chance you'll get married
If I agree to go steady with you
we'll get married in a year and we'll have kids the following year
By then, you'll have turned over 40
You must be in your 60s. It's hard to say when a man reaches that age
Even if I could become pregnant at my age you might not be up to it
The only reason why we'll go steady is that you're the oldest here, you'll die early
I'll inherit your money!
After a nice long chat you seem to get along well
Let's ask the guys. Who's your dream girl? What're her attributes?
Yes, Terracotta Warrior?
As a scholar, a woman who studies history will be my perfect match
A woman who studies history can be humourous A humourous woman can have a serious side
A serious woman can be gentle A gentle woman can have a good figure
The women here are older than expected There're not many choices here
Their skin is not fair enough I'm not fair enough?
Their figures are not sharp enough
Even I am not sharp enough?
They're not gentle enough... or aggressive enough
I've been very aggressive already
Most importantly they're not feminine enough!
You think you're a hunk? It's not worth the money spent
Would you like to exchange phone numbers?
Not at this time
If they don't get any phone numbers they'll ask for a refund
I've got something to say
I didn't want to come here at first, but I'm glad I did! What an eye opener!
Ever since I broke up with my first boyfriend
I haven't gone steady for 20 years not because my expectations are too high
I'm only asking for someone to meet a basic requirement
What is it?
Love! You guys have been at this all night but not once has the word been mentioned
You're here looking for love or a bargain?
You can't treat me like I'm a commodity just because you're rich
I'm a woman who's got pride!
You guys are all show-offs! This is a waste of effort
Women are all the same!
You're just playing hard to get so we'd fall for you
I do pity you
From what you said, I gather your women were only interested in your money
they didn't love you at all
Serves you right to be a "Sheng" (leftover) girl!
Pity me!
Can we get our money back?
Stay calm! Go after her!
Miss Yik!
You're not gonna drag me back in there?
I shouldn't have made you come!
The food was good! Save me a spot next time!
Me too! Get in!
Thanks for the invite!
