"Biarkan Tiongkok tidur, karena jika bangun..."
"...dia akan mengguncangkan dunia."
Awas jari kalian.
(Andai kau tak menyuruh kita jalan...)
(...kita takkan basah kuyup.)
Ada yang bisa saya bantu?
Ini Calthorpe. Hotel pribadi.
Saya Ny. Eleanor Young.
Saya sudah pesan kamar di Lancaster Suite.
Kita sudah bicara di telepon saat saya beri konfirmasi kemarin.
Maaf, tampaknya Anda tidak pesan kamar.
Selamat malam. Saya Reginald Ormsby, manajer hotel.
Ada masalah?
Saya Ny. Eleanor Young.
Saya dan keluarga ingin diantar ke kamar kami.
Penerbangan kami panjang.
Kamarnya sudah penuh, Nyonya. Anda pasti salah.
Saya yakin Anda dan keluarga bisa mencari hotel lain.
Boleh saya sarankan mencari di Pecinan?
(Kau boleh mencarinya di Neraka. Dasar orang tak berguna.)
Boleh pinjam telepon untuk menghubungi suami saya?
Setidaknya kau bisa lakukan itu.
Ny. Young, aku harus meminta Anda pergi...
...atau saya akan telepon polisi.
Silakan saja.
Lord Calthorpe, maaf atas gangguannya.
Eleanor! Tadi aku dapat telepon dari suamimu.
Siapkan Lancaster Suite. Sekarang.
- Anda pasti bercanda, Pak. - Aku tidak bercanda.
Mulai malam ini, sejarah panjang keluargaku...
...sebagai pemilik Calthorpe telah berakhir.
Aku menjual hotel ini ke teman-temanku...
...keluarga Young dari Singapura.
Perkenalkan sang pemilik baru, Eleanor Young.
- Mari kita bersulang. - Dengan senang hati.
Ambilkan pel. Lantainya basah.
Ambilkan pel.

Taruhan semuanya.
Tutup.
Kartumu tak ada artinya?
Selama ini kartumu tak ada artinya?
Baiklah, jadi...
...bagaimana aku bisa kalahkan Asisten Pengajar Curtis?
Aku tahu kalau Curtis itu pelit.
Jadi, dia tidak bermain menggunakan logika atau matematika...
...tapi menggunakan psikologinya.
Otak kita tidak suka kehilangan sesuatu yang berharga...
...sehingga mengabaikan pemikiran rasional...
...dan membuat keputusan yang buruk.
Jadi, Curtis tidak bermain untuk menang.
Dia bermain untuk tidak kalah.
Ini. Pakai untuk potong rambut.
Baiklah, sudah cukup untuk hari ini.
Jangan lupa esai yang kemungkinan besar...
...akan diserahkan pekan depan.
Ya!
Tahukah kau? Kau bisa pesan sendiri.
Kopi saja. Terima kasih.
Ya, kau selalu bilang begitu...
...kemudian kau menghabiskan hidangan penutupku.
Aku tak paham maksudmu.
Aku hanya minta sedikit.
Baiklah. Bisa pesan satu lagi? Terima kasih.
Bagaimana kalau kita berpetualang ke timur?
Kau mau coba roti babi di East Village.
Itu benar, bukan?
Sebenarnya aku memikirkan lebih jauh ke timur.
Maksudmu Queens?
Maksudku Singapura. Untuk liburan musim semi.
Pernikahan Colin.
Kita sudah setahun berpacaran...
...dan sudah waktunya orang bertemu pacarku yang cantik.
Ayolah, aku pendamping pria Colin.
Kau tak mau melihat tempat aku besar?
Bertemu keluargaku, bertemu Ah Ma?
Serta bertemu teman sekamarmu yang aneh sewaktu kuliah dulu.
Peik Lin.
- Peik Lin. - Dia memohon padaku...
...untuk datang mengunjunginya.
Semesta telah berbicara. Ia ingin kau ke sana.
Ikutlah ke Singapura.
Aku ingin seisi pulau bertemu Rachel Chu yang brilian.
"Astaga. Kau takkan percaya siapa yang aku lihat."
"Siapa?"
"Apa itu Nick Young?"
"Ya."
"Siapa gadis itu?"
"Dia bilang Namanya Rachel Chu."
"Siapa gadis ini?"
"Nama Rachel Chu sangat banyak."
"Sudah coba Choo. Atau Chiu? Atau Chew?"
- "Yang mana?" - "Tanya si Kembar!"
"Aku menemukannya!"
- "Apa ada cincin?" - "Orang Amerika keturunan Tionghoa."
- "Kau bercanda?" - "Benci dia!"
"Dia mengajaknya ke pernikahan itu!"
- "Serius?" - "Drama!"
- "Tak mungkin!" - "Kenapa dia!"
- "Amanda tahu?" - "PECUNDANG"
"Apa Ibunya tahu?"
"SINGAPURA"
"kalau kamu dibangkitkan bersama dengan Kristus...
"...carilah perkara yang di atas..."
"...di mana Kristus ada, duduk di sebelah kanan Allah."
"Pikirkanlah perkara yang di atas..."
"...bukan yang di bumi."
Eleanor, Nicki mengajak seorang gadis ke pernikahan Colin?
Putriku Amanda mendengar dari temannya Francesca.
Eddie bilang namanya Rachel Chu.
Aku pikir Nick datang sendirian.
Kau tahu dia punya pacar?
Nick memacari banyak gadis. Sulit untuk mengingatnya.
Amanda kenal semua orang...
...dan dia belum pernah dengar tentang dirinya.
Rachel Chu.
Mungkin dia dari keluarga plastik Chu di Taiwan.
Kalau mau, aku punya penyelidik swasta.
Sangat rahasia.
Sebaiknya kita kembali ke firman Tuhan.
Alix.
Efesus. Pasal enam, ayat empat.
"Didiklah anak-anakmu di dalam ajaran dan nasehat Tuhan."
Semoga dia gadis Kristiani baik-baik.
Jika dia mengajaknya pulang, itu pasti serius.
Tepat sekali.
- Dari Ibuku. Boleh? - Silakan.
Baiklah.
- Sisakan buatku. - Baik.
Ibu, semuanya baik-baik saja?
Apa harus ada masalah baru Ibu menelepon?
Ya, biasanya.
Lucu sekali.
Kau mengajak gadis yang kau pacari ke pernikahan Colin?
Kami baru membahasnya.
Dari mana Ibu tahu?
Semua orang tahu.
Radio One Asia.
Lanjut ke Korintus. Aku akan menyusul.
Ya.
Kami menantimu pulang.
Kamarmu sudah disiapkan.
Terima kasih, Ibu.
Tapi Rachel dan aku akan tinggal bersama.
Begitu.
Ibu sedang merenovasi rumah.
Belum siap untuk tamu.
Jika Rachel datang, dia mungkin lebih nyaman...
...tinggal di tempat lain.
Baik, maaf soal tadi.
Aku sisakan sepotong buatmu.
Benarkah? Sepotong kecil.
Terima kasih banyak.
Bagaimana Ibumu? Semua baik-baik saja?
Sangat baik.
Ibu, yang ini bagus. Bagaimana menurut Ibu?
Tidak! Jangan kenakan itu untuk bertemu Ah Ma Nick.
Biru dan putih untuk pemakaman orang Tionghoa.
Ini melambangkan keberuntungan dan kesuburan.
Bagus! Aku memang ingin bernuansa "pembuat bayi beruntung".
Hei! Kau yang meminta bantuan Ibu...
...memilih gaun untuk bertemu keluarga Nick.
Itu karena aku tak tahu apa-apa tentang mereka.
Setiap kali aku menanyakannya, Nick mengubah topik pembicaraan.
Mungkin dia malu.
Mungkin orang tuanya miskin, dan dia harus kirimi mereka uang.
Itulah yang dilakukan semua anak Tionghoa yang baik.
Kau akan bersenang-senang.
Kau selalu ingin ke Asia.
Siapa tahu, jika semua berjalan lancar di Singapura...
...kau mungkin kembali dengan membawa cendera mata.
Ibu, hentikan!
Nick dan aku belum membahas itu.
Orang tuanya pasti menyukaiku, bukan?
Tatapan apa itu? Aku melihat itu.
Tidak apa-apa. Hanya saja...
...Nick membawa seorang gadis jauh-jauh ke sana...
...untuk bertemu mereka bisa sangat berarti...
...bagi keluarga-keluarga ini. Mereka berbeda dari kita.
Berbeda bagaimananya? Mereka Tionghoa, aku Tionghoa.
Aku sangat Tionghoa. Aku profesor ekonomi...
...dengan intoleransi laktosa.
Ya, tapi kau besar di sini.
(Wajahmu Tionghoa.)
(Kau berbahasa Tionghoa.)
(Tapi di sini...)
(...dan di sini...)
...kau berbeda.
Tapi mengenakan warna keberuntungan bisa memberi kesan pertama yang baik.
Baiklah, begini rencananya.
Daftarkan tas kita, melewati keamanan...
...lalu kita bisa makan salah satu dari tiga makanan Tupperware...
...yang sudah dipersiapkan Ibuku.
Selamat sore, Tn. Young, Nona Chu.
Kami akan ambil bagasi dan mendaftarkan kalian di kelas satu.
- Bagus. - Tidak. Pasti ada kesalahan.
Kami bukan kelas satu. Kami di kelas ekonomi.
Lewat sini.
Ikuti saja. Ayo.
Tapi...
Bawaan kita baik-baik saja. Tinggalkan saja di situ.
Selamat datang, Tn. Young, Nona Chu.
Ini ruang pribadi kalian.
Ada sampanye.
Terima kasih.
- Terima kasih banyak. - Sama-sama.
Setelah lepas landas, kalian mau menikmati kursi santai...
...atau kami ubah ruanganmu menjadi kamar tidur?
Tidak usah. Terima kasih.
Selamat menikmati.
Nick. kita tak mampu bayar ini.
Piama ini lebih mewah dibanding semua pakaianku.
Keluargaku punya bisnis dengan maskapai ini.
Tiketnya adalah fasilitas.
Bisnis apa?
Properti, investasi, hal-hal lain.
Tak ada yang menarik.
"Dim sum."
Jadi, keluargamu kaya?
Kami nyaman.
Itu yang dikatakan orang kaya raya.
Jelas ini tidak penting.
Aku hanya merasa aneh tidak tahu apa-apa.
Kau punya kartu Jamba Juice.
Kau pakai kata sandi Netflix-ku.
Kau bermain basket di NCA yang sedikit bau.
Aku sungguh menyukai tempat itu, terima kasih banyak.
Ya, keluargaku punya uang...
...tapi aku selalu anggap itu uang mereka.
Bukan uangku.
Aku mengerti. Tapi aku akan ke sana menemui mereka...
Aku ingin tahu siapa yang akan kutemui.
Kau tahu, keluargamu.
Begini...
Keluargaku sama seperti keluarga lainnya.
Separuh dari mereka kau sayangi dan hormati...
...lalu ada separuh lainnya.
Separuh mana yang akan kutemui?
Ada sepupuku Alistair...
...yang tinggal di Taiwan, bekerja di perfilman.
Selesai!
Dia memacari Kitty Pong, seorang aktris.
- Kitty. - Alistair.
Kau suka? Aku merasa...
...sangat emosi. Bisa kau rasakan?
Aku bisa merasakannya. Semuanya.
Dia aktris yang payah.
Bisa cari aktris lain?
Dia yang mendanai seluruh film.
Kau bilang padanya kalau pacarnya payah.
Baik, bagaimana dengan sepupumu Eddie?
Kau tak pernah membicarakannya.
Eddie adalah ahli keuangan di Hong Kong.
Pria berkeluarga sejati.
Jika kau bergerak, itu akan terlihat lebih alami.
Tidak, dengan begini kau dapat sudut optimal kami.
Berarti sudah selesai.
Russell, terima kasih banyak.
Suatu kehormatan bisa difoto olehmu.
Dengan senang hati. Orang akan menyukainya...
...di Vogue Hong Kong berikutnya.
Terima kasih, Russell.
Vogue Hong Kong? Sudah kuduga. Gaunmu buruk.
Jika kau mengenakan gaun Bottega seperti yang kusuruh...
...kita bisa masuk Vogue Amerika.
Pakai saja gaun itu di Neraka, Eddie.
Berhenti!
Lalu ada Astrid.
Aku ingat Astrid.
Aku mau jadi seperti dia saat dewasa nanti.
Astrid luar biasa.
Mungkin hanya dia satu-satunya yang akrab denganku.
Dia orang yang sangat sederhana...
...begitu kau mengenalnya.
Tidak hanya lulusan terbaik di Oxford...
...memulai berbagai amal, dan ikon mode.
Astrid memiliki hati terbesar dari semua sepupuku.
Ibu? Lihat yang kubuat untuk kelinci?
Tidak, jangan sekarang.
Hai, aku Astrid. Siapa namamu?
Vita.
Lalu siapa ini?
Bun-Bun.
Aku rasa Bun-Bun terlihat sangat tampan dengan dasinya.
Matamu jeli.
Terima kasih.
Nona Leong, lewat sini.
Senang bertemu kalian berdua.
Semua ini terbaru dari Antwerp.
Kau orang pertama yang aku tunjukkan ini.
Apa itu?
Itu?
Itu sangat istimewa.
Anting mutiara Burma.
Dengan batu zamrud, dan batu delima merah darah yang langka.
Dulu dikenakan oleh Ratu Supayalat...
...saat penobatannya di tahun 1878.
Berapa harganya?
Jika kau mengenakannya...
...aku dapat publikasi yang sangat baik.
Aku beri harga modal. 1,2 juta dolar.
Jika semua keluargamu di sana...
...lalu mengapa kita menginap di hotel?
Bukankah anak lelaki Tionghoa yang baik...
...tinggal bersama orang tuanya?
Karena A, aku bukan anak lelaki yang baik.
Lalu B...
...aku ingin berdua denganmu sebentar saja.
Boleh?
Baiklah.
"SELAT SINGAPURA"
(SINGAPURA)
"CHANGI Bandara Singapura"
Astaga, aku tak percaya bandara ini punya taman kupu-kupu...
...dan bioskop.
JFK hanya punya salmonela dan keputusasaan.
Nick! Nick!
Araminta!
- Aku merindukanmu. - Aku juga merindukanmu.
- Rachel. - Hai.
Itu dia.
Senang akhirnya bisa bertemu denganmu.
Aku juga senang bertemu denganmu.
- Nicki-Nick! - Sudah lama sekali, Kawan.
Sudah lama sekali. Selamat datang kembali.
Kalian tak perlu menjemput kami.
Tentu saja harus. Kami harus melakukannya.
Tentu aku harus menyambut pendampingku secara pantas.
- Hai, Rachel. - Halo.
Senang akhirnya bisa bertemu denganmu.
Senang juga bisa bertemu denganmu.
Mari? Biar kubantu.
Ya.
- Ini untukmu. - Aku bisa bawakan.
Aku tahu ini berlebihan.
Mari kuantar kalian ke hotel.
- Kau lapar? - Aku selalu lapar.
Ayo santap semua yang bisa kita makan.
Selamat datang di surga dunia!
Aku harap kau lapar. Aku sangat lapar.
(Terima kasih.)
Teman-teman! Ini!
Ikut aku.
Setiap kios ini menjual satu masakan...
...dan mereka menyempurnakannya secara turun-temurun.
Ini satu-satunya tempat di dunia...
...di mana penjual makanan jalanan menerima bintang Michelin.
- Hei! Apa kabar? - Paman.
Lama tidak berjumpa, Kawan.
Ini. Terima kasih banyak, Pak.
- Lihat ini. - Favoritku.
"SATAI"
Satu untukmu.
Ya, terima kasih.
Seperti muntah.
- Astaga! - Ya?
Sudah aku bilang. Satai terbaik di pulau ini.
Enak, bukan?
Mari makan, teman-teman.
Sebelum lupa, aku butuh bantuanmu besok.
Aku perlu urus soal pendamping pria...
...dan aku tak mau melakukannya sendirian dengan Bernard Tai.
Aku masih tidak percaya kau memilih orang itu jadi pendampingmu.
Terima kasih. Sudah kubilang.
Minty...
Ini bukan tergantung padaku, bukan? Itu bukan pilihanku.
Bernard itu orang sombong...
...yang suka mencuri uang di kantinku saat kami kecil.
Sampai Nicki-Nick memukulinya.
- Ya... - Kau memukuli orang?
Aku meninju sekali.
Aku jatuh ke lantai dan dia mendudukiku.
Jadi, itu bukan perkelahian.
Bersulang, teman-teman.
Untuk pendampingku, Nick Young, yang tidak bisa berkelahi...
...tapi akan selalu membantuku.
Bersulang untuk kehidupan pernikahan.
- Belum! Terlalu awal. - Astaga!
Kali ini pekan depan, Teman-teman!
Kita perlu membicarakan pesta bujanganmu lebih dulu.
Apa itu perlu? Ayolah!
Rachel, aku tahu kita baru kenal...
...tapi akhir pekan ini adalah pesta lajangku...
...dan aku ingin kau datang.
Tentu saja.
- Terima kasih banyak! - Bagus!
- Aku tidak dilibatkan? - Terima kasih.
- Aku benar-benar tidak dilibatkan? - Ya, aku menggantimu dengan Bernard.
Masa bodoh dengan dia!
Aku juga harus katakan...
...aku tak ingat kapan terakhir kali aku melihat Nick seperti ini.
Tapi itu lucu.
Dia senang bisa pulang.
Ya, dia senang bisa pulang.
Denganmu.
Ayahmu akan membuatmu menderita.
Ayahku akan membuatku menderita.
Bersulang untuk itu.
Kita harus makan...
...karena kepiting ini tidak akan habis dengan sendirinya.
Coba yang mana dulu?
- Coba yang ini. Terima kasih. - Kau mau ini?
- Pedas sekali. - Memang pedas.
Nick di Singapura!
Senang bisa pulang.
- Michael di rumah? - Belum, Nyonya.
Putra Nyonya sudah bangun. Dia mau bertemu Nyonya.
Baiklah.
Kalian tahu harus bagaimana. Cepatlah.
Maaf. Aku terjebak di rapat.
Tak apa, aku mengerti.
Tapi jangan lupa...
...pesta pernikahannya mulai di hari Rabu...
...jadi jangan ada urusan darurat pekan depan.
Aku tahu.
Aku takkan melewatkan berkumpul dengan keluargamu dan teman-temannya.
Ayolah, tak semuanya buruk.
Nick dan pacar barunya akan datang.
Kau akan suka padanya.
Sungguh?
Kenapa? Karena dia orang biasa seperti aku?
Kau tahu bukan itu maksudku.
Aku memergoki para pembantu...
...sedang memasukkan sepasang Jimmy Choo di belakang pengering.
Entah kenapa kau repot-repot sembunyikan belanjaanmu dariku.
Kau boleh beli apa pun yang kau mau.
Aku mengerti. Lagi pula, semua tahu...
...kau yang punya uang di keluarga ini.
Itu berlebihan.
Aku juga beli sesuatu untukmu.
Untuk merayakan awal usaha rintisanmu.
Aku tahu kau tak suka hadiah mahal...
...tapi kau bukan kapten di militer lagi.
Kau seorang Direktur. Kau harus tampil dengan baik.
Aku...
Aku menyukainya. Terima kasih.
Pukul berapa ini?
Pagi.
Aku rasa waktunya mengerjakan tugas pendamping pria.
Tetaplah di tempat tidur.
Tunggulah di sini. Akan kubawakan baki sarapan.
Kau tahu? Aku juga harus bangun.
Kubilang pada Peik Lin akan menemuinya hari ini.
Reuni kuliah kecil-kecilan.
Tapi jangan lupa. Makan malam di rumah Ah Ma malam ini.
Seluruh keluarga akan datang.
- Ya. - Aku sudah tak sabar memamerkanmu.
Astaga.
Bagaimana aku bisa menolak?
Ya ampun.
Kau sengaja memakai kacamata.
New York sudah datang!
Ya!
Peik Lin!
Apa kabar? Ya!
Astaga! Kau tampak luar biasa.
Aku tahu. Ada hal yang tak berubah.
Dan rumah ini indah.
Astor! Vanderbilt! Rockefeller!
Anjing-anjing nakal. Berhentilah menggonggong.
- Hei, Rachel! - Hai!
Singapura panas sekali. Masuk dan nikmati penyejuk udaranya. Ayo.
Seluruh keluarga menunggu bertemu denganmu. Senang sekali.
Rachel, selamat datang.
Wah! Astaga!
Rumah Anda luar biasa, Ny. Goh.
(Kau pintar memuji.)
Panggil aku Bibi. Bibi Neenah.
Maaf. Bibi Neenah.
Ya.
Kami terinspirasi oleh Aula Cermin di Versailles.
Serta kamar mandi Donald Trump.
- Sungguh? - Ya.
Kau suka atau tidak?
Ya. Emasnya sangat bersinar.
Rachel Chu, kami berterima kasih...
...atas bantuan yang kau berikan pada Peik Lin saat kuliah.
Tanpa bantuanmu, dia pasti sudah kacau.
Astaga, tidak. Sebenarnya...
...jika bukan karena dia, aku yang kacau.
Dia banyak menolongku di kampus.
Senang bisa bertemu Anda, Tn. Goh.
Senang juga bisa bertemu denganmu, Chu.
Ku-ku. Ku-Chu. Kau. Poo-poo.
Tidak, aku hanya bercanda.
Aku tak punya logat.
Aku hanya main-main.
Aku juga belajar di Amerika.
Ya, Cal State Fullerton.
Aku ambil jurusan Pemikiran.
Jangan terlalu formal, Rachel.
Ini hanya hidangan sederhana.
Benar! Jangan malu-malu.
- Terima kasih. - Kau bukan model.
Memang bukan.
Memang bukan. Sama sekali tidak. Jauh dari itu.
Aku tahu.
Pastikan makananmu habis.
Karena aku mengawasimu.
- Terima kasih. - Ya.
- Ah Pa, boleh kami main trampolin? - Main trampolin?
Kau belum habiskan makananmu, Sayang.
Ada banyak anak kelaparan di Amerika.
Lihatlah dia. Dia orang Amerika.
Kurus sekali. Kau mau terlihat seperti itu?
- Tidak mau. - Kalau begitu, habiskan makananmu!
Rachel, apa pekerjaanmu di Amerika?
- Aku profesor ekonomi. - Wah.
Sangat mengagumkan. Profesor ekonomi.
Pastinya kau sangat pintar. Baguslah.
Biar kuperjelas.
Kalian berdua kuliah di tempat yang sama...
...tapi satu orang kembali dengan membawa gelar yang berguna.
Lalu satunya kembali sebagai Ellen dari Asia.
P.T.
Lihat ke sini.
Dia cantik.
Gadis seperti ini yang harus kau pacari.
Pintar, cantik. Tidak seperti cewek K-Pop...
...yang tak punya otak, bermata besar dan berbokong kecil.
Bokongnya luar biasa.
Ini standar Goh.
Jangan malu-malu. Bicaralah kepadanya.
Aku cinta padamu.
Baiklah. Tidak, hanya saja...
Ayah, dia di sini bersama pacarnya.
Ayah lihat tak ada cincin di jarinya.
Pacarku orang Singapura dan karena itulah kami di sini.
Kami di sini untuk pernikahan sahabatnya...
...di mana dia menjadi pendampingnya.
Siapa namanya?
Pulau ini sangat kecil. Mungkin kami kenal keluarganya.
Namanya Nick Young.
Nick yang kau pacari adalah Nick Young?
Sahabatnya...
Kau diundang ke pernikahan Colin Khoo?
Ya. Kalian kenal mereka?
Tentu saja.
Keluarga Khoo, keluarga Young...
Siapa yang tidak kenal mereka?
Mereka pengembang terbesar di seluruh Singapura.
Juga Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, New Mexico.
Dia mengerti.
Pernikahan Colin dan Araminta...
...adalah acara terbesar di Singapura abad ini.
Keluarga Young bagaikan bangsawan.
Kau tidak tahu? Dia tidak tahu?
Kenapa kau tidak pernah bilang?
Katakan, mereka seperti apa?
Aku tak kenal mereka...
...aku belum bertemu mereka. Aku mau menemui mereka nanti malam.
Aku mau ke rumah nenek Nick.
Kau mau ke rumah nenek Nick mengenakan ini?
Mengenakan itu?
Tidak mungkin.
Ya, aku pikir merah adalah warna keberuntungan.
Ya. Jika kau sebuah amplop. Dor! Tepat sekali!
Dor!
Rachel, mereka tak hanya kaya.
Mereka kaya raya. Lihat.
Ada orang kaya baru di seluruh Asia.
Ada miliuner dari Beijing, hartawan dari Taiwan...
Tapi keluarga Young, mereka sudah lama kaya.
Mereka sudah kaya ketika tinggalkan Tiongkok di tahun 1800-an.
Lalu mereka kemari.
Bukan di sini, tapi di sini.
Mereka datang ke Singapura...
...ketika yang ada hanyalah hutan dan peternak babi.
Dulu ada ular makan apel.
Kau paham maksudku? Mereka membangun semua ini.
Mereka adalah tuan tanah...
...dari kota termahal di dunia. Ini.
Mereka kaya dan sombong, serta berkelas.
Ini.
Ya, tapi Nick tidak seperti itu.
Meskipun tidak, aku jamin keluarganya seperti itu.
Karena itulah malam ini...
...jangan terlihat seperti Sebastian dalam The Little Mermaid.
Kau tahu, si kepiting kecil itu?
Lihat orang ini, dia tidur.
Ayolah, ini bukan jalan punya nenekmu.
Astaga!
Terima kasih sudah mengantarku.
Ini kesempatanku melihat rumah keluarga Young.
Di persimpangan berikutnya, putar balik.
Putar balik.
Yakin kau memberiku alamat yang benar?
GPS bilang tak ada apa-apa di sini.
Sungguh tak ada apa-apa.
Entah kenapa kita di sini.
Aku masukkan alamat persisnya.
- Kau salin dan tempel? - Ya.
Kau salin dan tempel "hutan" begitu saja di situ?
- Tidak. Ini alamat... - Sebab aku merasa seperti...
Kau menggunakan... Baiklah.
Itu... Hai! Kami hanya...
Halo, Pak. Apa kabar?
Kami datang untuk pesta, dan kami...
Kami datang dengan damai.
Kau tahu di mana rumah keluarga Young?
Nicholas Young? Aku Rachel Chu.
Aku ke sini untuk makan malam keluarga.
Rachel Chu ada di daftar tamu. Jika daftarnya memang ada.
Dia menelepon.
Apa itu senapan belati? Itu belati senapan.
Baik, ada temannya lagi. Hai! Senang sekali...
Kita bisa lewat? Baiklah.
- Jangan tusuk mobilnya. - Baik.
Baik. Terima kasih, sampai jumpa!
Astaga, indah sekali.
Indah? Properti ini senilai 200 juta dolar.
Ini spektakuler.
Astaga, Rachel. Dia seperti Bujangan Kaya dari Asia.
Terima kasih, Kawan.
Halo, Cantik.
Wah! Kurasa aku jatuh cinta padamu lagi.
Rachel!
Aku juga rindu padamu.
- Benarkah? - Apa kegiatanmu tadi?
Rachel!
Ini temanku, Peik Lin.
- Hai. - Halo.
Terima kasih banyak sudah mengantarkan Rachel.
Biasa saja.
Kau mau ikut makan malam?
- Aku tidak mau merepotkan. - Tidak masalah.
- Aku ada rencana makan malam. - Aku serius, kami punya...
Ya, aku ikut makan malam.
- Aku merindukanmu. - Sungguh?
- Ya. - Bagaimana harimu?
Menyenangkan! Aku bertemu keluarga Peik Lin, anjingnya.
"KELAB MALAM"
"PESTA"
Tidak.
Kau punya gaun pesta di bagasimu?
Aku bukan hewan, Rachel.
Aku pikir ini hanya acara keluarga.
Nenekku mengundang teman-temannya malam ini.
Bunga tan hua miliknya mekar. Itu intinya.
Kau siap?
Astaga, Nick. Ini baru namanya pesta. Baiklah.
Kamar mandi yang bagus ada di atas...
...dan kau bisa ganti baju di sana.
Baiklah, akan kucari. Terima kasih.
Saat kau bilang bahwa kau besar di rumah nenekmu...
...aku tak menduga hal ini.
Terima kasih.
Tidak. Itu untuk jari-jarimu.
- Terima kasih banyak. - Terima kasih.
Sedikit berlebihan, aku tahu.
Tempat ini indah sekali.
Bukit-bukitnya hijau.
Ada penjaga bersenjata di luar.
Serta harimau raksasa.
Baiklah.
Itu Tn. Harimau.
Kakek buyutku menembaknya...
...ketika dia memasuki rumah.
Astrid dan aku suka menyembunyikan rokok di cakarnya.
Kau mau masuk?
Aku mau perkenalkan kau pada Ibuku lebih dulu.
Ayo.
Ibu.
Kau perlu potong rambut. Sangat berantakan.
Kau terlihat lelah dari perjalananmu.
Ibu akan minta juru masak membuatkanmu sup herbal.
Nanti Ibu kirim ke hotel.
Ibu, ini Rachel Chu.
Astaga! Aku sangat senang bisa bertemu Anda, Ny. Young.
Atau Bibi. Benar?
Aku sedang belajar bahasanya.
Aku juga sangat senang akhirnya bisa bertemu denganmu.
Maaf kalau Ayah Nick tak bisa datang.
Dia ada bisnis di Shanghai.
Aku bilang pada Rachel, saat tugas memanggil, Ayah menjawab.
Sudah seharusnya.
Nick bilang bahwa kau juga adalah profesor.
Kau mengajar apa?
Aku mengajar ekonomi.
Dia pintar. Anggota fakultas termuda di NYU.
Jadi, ekonomi...
Sepertinya menantang.
Orang tuamu juga di bidang akademis?
Tidak. Ayahku meninggal sebelum aku lahir...
...dan Ibuku tidak kuliah.
Beliau hampir tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris...
...saat berimigrasi ke Amerika Serikat.
Tapi beliau bekerja keras, belajar...
...dan mendapatkan izin properti...
...selagi jadi pelayan untuk menafkahi kami.
Beliau suka mengatakan...
...bahwa dirinya adalah pialang properti terbaik di Flushing.
Wanita yang mandiri. Dia pasti sangat bangga kepadamu.
Dia tahu aku sangat menyukai pekerjaanku...
...dan itu yang selalu dia inginkan untukku.
Mengejar impian. Khas orang Amerika.
Ibumu berpikiran terbuka, tidak seperti di sini...
...di mana orang tua terobsesi...
...untuk membentuk kehidupan anak mereka.
Itu makan malam.
Silakan.
Ibu keluar sebentar lagi.
Rachel, senang bertemu denganmu.
Terima kasih. Aku juga.
Dia membenciku.
Dia butuh waktu untuk menyukaimu...
- ...tapi dia akan menyukaimu. - Sebentar?
- Nicki! Rachel! - Astrid.
Senang bertemu denganmu.
Aku senang kau bisa datang.
- Michael. - Nick.
Astrid. Senang bisa melihat wajah yang kukenal.
Ini suamiku, Michael.
Senang bertemu denganmu. Aku dengar banyak tentangmu.
Senang bertemu denganmu, Michael.
Hei, si anak emas sudah kembali! Nick!
Kau pasti Rachel.
Aku Edison Cheng. Ini istriku.
- Hai. Aku... - Namanya Fiona.
Kau sudah bertemu Putri Astrid...
...dan mainan tentaranya, Mikey.
Mikey hebat di bidang teknologi.
Jika kau lupa kata sandimu, hubungi dia.
Jadi kau dari keluarga Chu, pengusaha plastik dari Taiwan, ya?
Boleh kutinju wajahnya? Sekali saja.
Kau harus antre.
Aku ada di sudutku yang biasa. Sampanye?
Terima kasih.
Jadi, kau sudah persiapkan Rachel untuk menghadapi para serigala?
Rachel orang New York.
Pekerjaannya adalah mengajar anak-anak milenial.
Dia bisa menghadapi keluarga kita.
Kau pergi terlalu lama.
Maaf, tunggu dulu.
Jadi, kau bukan keluarga Chu dari Taiwan?
Bukan.
Keluarga Chu yang pengusaha telekomunikasi di Hong Kong?
- Bukan. - Chu pengemas kacang di Malaysia?
Apa itu ada?
- Ya, ada di mana-mana. - Aku mau memotong...
...karena aku mau mengajaknya berkeliling.
- Tapi kami akan kembali. - Tunggu.
Chu pengusaha mi instan di Tiongkok. Rachel!
Kau Chu yang mana?
Ayo.
Ini Bibi Alix dan Bibi Felicity.
Hai! Senang bertemu denganmu.
Aku belum pernah menghadiri pesta tan hua.
Kami suka alasan apa pun untuk mengadakan pesta.
Orang tuamu senang menghibur?
Maaf. Ibumu sendirian.
Ya.
Bibi Jacqueline.
Salah satu teman lama orang tuaku.
Sebenarnya aku bertemu ayah Nick di Cambridge.
Jadi, ayahmu bekerja di bidang apa?
Ayahku meninggal sebelum aku lahir.
Tapi dulunya beliau buruh pabrik di Tiongkok.
(Nicki, apa ini pacarmu?)
(Segeralah menikah!)
(Nenek...)
(...terima kasih sudah mengundangku ke rumah Nenek.)
(Rumah Nenek indah sekali.)
Ini Ling Cheh, pengasuhku dulu.
Sekarang waktunya semua orang terlibat.
Tolong bantu aku.
Terima kasih. Sampai jumpa.
Mereka mulai membereskan makan malam.
Kesukaanmu.
Terima kasih.
Jika butuh orang di kantor...
...aku bisa selalu datang membantumu.
Astrid Leong yang glamor...
...bekerja sebagai asisten?
Tunggu, bukankah besok pesta lajang Araminta?
Ini akan jadi alasan bagus untuk menghindar.
Terima kasih. Sungguh.
Tapi semuanya bisa kutangani.
Baiklah.
Aku lupa mengambilkan garpu.
Tak apa, kau di sini saja. Biar aku yang ambil.
Michael, kurasa ini dari kantor.
"Ranjang terasa hampa tanpamu"
Astaga! Nick, aku tak percaya mengatakan itu.
Tak apa-apa. Tak ada yang memperhatikan.
Kurasa aku sudah membuat pengasuhmu takut...
Astaga!
Maaf.
Tidak apa-apa.
Boleh minta tisu?
Pergilah ganti baju. Akan kutemani Rachel.
Terima kasih, Oli. Kau di tangan yang tepat.
Tunggu sebentar. Aku mau ganti baju.
Maaf.
Hai, aku Rachel.
Aku tahu.
Rachel! Rachel!
Kudengar kau mengira Ah Ma adalah juru masak!
Di sisi baiknya, kau topik pembicaraan di pesta ini.
Orang-orang menyukai gaunmu.
Aku yang mendandaninya.
Aku tahu!
Cantik ala tahun 70-an.
Aku tahu.
Seperti disko Cleopatra, tapi dalam hal baik.
Itu yang kuincar.
Baiklah. Oliver.
- Hai. - Aku suka sepatumu.
Terima kasih. Aku Peik Lin. Sama.
- Bersulang. - Bagus.
Ini bagus sekali.
Itu menggunakan klip. Terima kasih.
Sungguh? Wah!
Oliver, kau juga seorang sepupu?
Aku salah seorang kerabat yang lebih miskin.
Kambing pelangi dalam keluarga.
Tapi aku berguna.
Apa pun yang keluarga Young inginkan, aku carikan.
Ikan emas koi, perabotan dari Huanghuali.
Gong Kamboja yang langka.
Buat apa mereka mau membeli gong Kamboja yang langka?
Karena mereka mampu.
Ah Ma meminta semua pakaianmu dicuci...
...dan disetrika setiap dua minggu.
Yang ini.
Semua sama persis seperti saat aku tinggalkan.
Mencari cerutumu?
Ibu sudah lama membuangnya.
Tak ada yang bisa aku sembunyikan dari Ibu, ya?
Ibu terus bilang ke Ah Ma untuk menyimpan barang-barangmu...
...tapi dia bilang kamar ini membuat dia merasa kau masih di sini.
Ibu diceramahi ketika kau tidak pulang tahun lalu.
Ayahmu dan Ibu menginginkan kau pulang.
Ayahmu tidak bertambah muda.
Jika kau bergabung...
...mungkin dia bisa libur sesekali.
Aku tahu, Ibu.
Aku hanya belum siap.
Ada yang mau kuselesaikan di New York.
Ibu senang akhirnya bisa bertemu Rachel.
Dia sangat mengagumkan.
Aku rasa juga begitu.
Kupikir Ibu akan senang gadis pertama yang kubawa pulang...
...adalah profesor Tionghoa.
Amerika Tionghoa.
Membawanya pulang...
...memperkenalkannya di acara kumpul keluarga besar...
..beberapa orang mungkin berkata...
Bila ada yang perlu dikatakan...
...mengenai Rachel dan aku, Ibu yang pertama tahu.
Tapi ada hal-hal yang harus aku selesaikan sendiri.
Itu logat Amerika yang Ibu dengar?
Bagaimana penampilanku?
Sempurna.
Semuanya! Semuanya!
Bunga tan hua sangat jarang mekar...
...dan itu pun hanya pada malam hari.
Keindahannya mengagumkan namun cepat berlalu.
Di pagi hari, keindahannya akan hilang.
Mari. Mari.
Ada yang lupa mengenakan bra.
Kitty Pong. Pacar terbaru sepupu Alistair. Seorang aktris.
Kabarnya dia dulu bintang film dewasa. Dua Gadis, Satu Mangkuk Mi.
Kupikir aku akan menyukainya.
Bukunya lebih bagus.
Apa perasaanku saja atau orang-orang memang menatapku?
Mereka hanya iri. Kau memikat sang pangeran.
Nicki adalah kesayangan Ah Ma, pewaris segalanya.
Tidak mengejutkan bila itu persaingannya.
Bicara soal wanita terkenal...
Rupanya kau di sini.
Aku mencarimu di mana-mana.
Sudah siap bertemu nenekku?
Ah Ma...
(Nicki, kau sudah pulang!)
(Kau sudah lama tidak menemui Nenek.)
(Untung Nenek masih hidup.)
(Kau sudah makan?)
(Kau kurus sekali.)
(Itu karena aku rindu masakan Nenek.)
(Nenek...)
(...ini teman baikku, Rachel Chu.)
(Nenek, terima kasih sudah mengundangku ke rumah Nenek.)
(Nick selalu membicarakan Nenek.)
(Dia bilang bahwa tak seorang pun di dunia ini...)
(...yang membuat pangsit lebih baik dari buatan Nenek.)
(Biasa saja.)
(Aku juga bisa mengajarimu cara membuatnya.)
(Itu sebuah kehormatan.)
(Kembalilah nanti...)
(...saat sudah tidak banyak orang.)
Lihat, bunganya mekar sempurna.
Senang sekali Nick bisa pulang.
Tetapi dia tampak berbeda.
Ketika anak pergi dari rumah terlalu lama...
...mereka lupa siapa diri mereka.
Apa kabar? Ayo berpesta!
Rachel! Senang sekali kau datang.
Astaga. Busana Gap-mu, brilian.
Terima kasih.
- Dia ikut aku. - Tunggu.
Cium. 36 jam. Sampai nanti.
- Minty, kembalikan utuh. - Ya. Ya. Ya.
Dia sama sekali tidak mendengarkan.
Aku mau perkenalkan teman-temanku.
Kita akan terbang ke rumah peristirahatan Ibuku di Sumatra.
Dia menutup tempat itu khusus untuk kita.
Kita akan bersenang-senang.
Ayo, kuperkenalkan mereka. Teman-teman, ini Rachel Chu.
Hai!
Jadi kau biarkan Bernard Tai yang mengatur semua ini?
Ya.
Bernard.
Hei.
Ini untukmu, Berengsek.
Tina! Tini! Si kembar sudah datang!
Aku senang kalian datang! Apa kabar?
Mudah untuk diperhatikan orang...
...saat kau datang dengan penampilan yang serasi.
Hai, kita belum kenal. Aku Amanda Ling.
Hai, aku Rachel Chu.
Kau teman Nick Young.
- Ya. - Di sini kabar cepat menyebar.
Kau profesor di NYU, benar?
Ya. Bagaimana denganmu?
Aku pengacara. Penasihat umum...
...untuk Perusahaan keluarga Young.
Itu mengagumkan.
Tidak. Biasa saja, itu karena nepotisme.
Aku besar dengan Nick dan Colin. Keluarga kami berteman.
Senang bertemu denganmu, Rachel Chu.
Nona-nona, ayo. Kita berangkat lima menit lagi.
Kita ikut pergi?
Ayo.
Ya!
Aku hanya ingin berakhir pekan dengan teman-temanku.
Juga bir. Mungkin bermain rugbi.
Jangan khawatir. Ini akan menyenangkan, apa pun yang terjadi.
Ya.
Ayo kita buat anak!
Kurasa tidak akan menyenangkan.
(PERAIRAN INTERNASIONAL)
Orang berengsek mana pun bisa merencanakan pesta bujangan biasa.
PSK, narkoba, adu anjing.
Itu hal yang sangat biasa.
Untuk menyusun pesta sebesar ini...
Butuh orang yang paling berengsek.
...butuh perencana hebat.
Di mana pestanya diadakan?
Di sana.
Astaga!
"PESTA BUJANGAN COLIN"
Kalian lihat itu?
Astaga, Nick. Apa yang kau cemaskan?
Kau tak perlu terus menyenangkan Rachel.
Dia sudah beruntung bisa datang ke sini.
Bagus, Eddie.
Apa?
Jadi, kita akan pura-pura itu bukan yang sebenarnya?
Apa kita di dalam dongeng...
...yang aku tidak tahu?
Apa kau menemukan sepatu di tengah malam...
...dan menaiki labu?
Aku dapat banyak masalah soal menikahi Fiona...
...dan orang tuanya...
...pemilik perusahaan pengiriman terbesar di Hong Kong.
Hei, Araminta cantik, tapi kau pikir ayahmu...
...akan mengeluarkan jutaan dolar untuk pernikahan ini...
...jika orang tuanya bukan pemilik sangraloka milyaran dolar?
Apa kelebihan Rachel?
Payudaranya kecil!
Hei. Ini tidak sepadan. Mereka mabuk.
Semuanya, ini membosankan. Waktunya memijat.
Kau, bujangan...
...kau akan mendapatkannya sebelum akhir pekan ini berakhir.
Atau kami akan mengikatmu dan mencukur kemaluanmu.
Kemaluan!
Hei, coba ini.
Kita harus turun dari kapal ini.
- Selamat datang di surga. - (PULAU SAMSARA)
Ini Pulau Samsara.
Akhir pekan ini mengenai persaudaraan...
...dan menghubungkan keindahan dalam diri kita.
Jadi, kuharap kalian akan menemukan kebahagiaan...
...dimulai dari belanja gratis sepuasnya...
...di butik mode!
Ayo! Ayo!
Aku yang melihatnya lebih dulu!
Tapi payudaramu kecil!
Bagaimana dengan gigitan nyamuk itu?
- Tidak! - Kau tahu itu benar!
Satu menit lagi! Ambil sebanyak yang bisa kau bawa.
Ya, orang kaya paling suka dengan barang gratis.
Tidak ambil satu pakaian untukmu?
Aku tak mau kehilangan lengan.
Kalau begitu...
...satu sentuhan terakhir.
Nick memang pria yang beruntung.
Waktunya habis!
Pemberhentian berikut. Spa!
(PULAU RAWA)
Kau genius. Kau tahu itu?
Apa gunanya pendamping pria?
Ternyata izin pilotnya berguna juga.
Ini, Jagoan.
Terima kasih, Tuan.
Kurasa ini bir terbaik yang pernah kuminum.
Aku sangat setuju.
Jika bukan karena Araminta, aku mau melamarmu.
Meskipun...
...ada sesuatu hal yang mungkin menghalangi itu.
- Tidak mungkin! - Ya.
- Itu asli? - Ya.
- Wah! Ya! - Ya.
Bagus, Kawan! Selamat!
- Aku tahu. - Ini luar biasa.
- Aku siap. - Kau siap.
Kau sungguh melakukannya.
Nick, aku turut bahagia, Kawan.
Terima kasih, Kawan.
Kurasa tukang pijatku membuatku hamil.
Pantas saja Nick tidak mau kembali ke Singapura.
Maksudmu?
Seharusnya dia pulang tahun lalu...
...mengambil alih bisnis keluarga.
Orang tuanya marah ketika dia tidak mau.
Tetapi kini dia sudah kembali. Aku yakin semuanya dimaafkan.
Tapi dia tidak pulang untuk selamanya.
Kami di sini untuk pernikahan.
Wah!
Tapi?
Tidak, aku turut bahagia untukmu.
Colin, aku mengenalmu sejak kau memakai popok.
Aku tahu jika ada sesuatu yang kau pikirkan.
Belum lama ini...
...kau yakin akan pulang.
Rachel mencintai pekerjaannya di New York.
Ya, kami akan pikirkan itu.
Kau akan pikirkan. Benar.
Rachel, aku mengerti.
Sulit mengetahui posisimu dengan orang seperti Nicholas Young.
Dia mendapat tekanan dari keluarganya.
Bukan cuma di bisnis, tapi dengan siapa dia berpacaran.
Kau takkan pernah tahu...
...apa isi kepalanya yang indah itu.
Nick sudah cerita bahwa kami dulu pernah pacaran?
Itu sudah berlalu.
Meskipun keluarga kami, terutama ibunya...
...selalu ingin kami menikah.
Kurasa kami tidak siap saat itu.
Kawan, sejak Sekolah Dasar...
...kau akan selalu menjadi...
...ketua Perusahaan Young berikutnya...
...pewaris kekayaan keluargamu.
Kau pikir keluargamu mau menerima pilihan yang lain?
Kecuali kau...
Tidak.
Kau memikirkan untuk mundur?
Meninggalkan semuanya kepada Alistair dan Eddie?
Aku tidak meninggalkan apa-apa.
Aku bertemu seorang gadis, jatuh cinta dan mau menikahinya.
Aku tidak bisa memilih.
Tidak, tidak, tidak.
Tidak semudah itu. Kau tahu itu.
Aku sungguh mengagumimu.
Butuh keberanian untuk datang kemari...
...menghadapi keluarga Nick.
Terutama saat Eleanor tidak berada di pihakmu.
Baik, di luar keluargamu, apa kau pernah memikirkan...
...bagaimana hubunganmu dengan Rachel...
...jika kalian menikah?
Maksudku...
...kau Nicholas Young. Kau tidak tersentuh.
Kau selalu begitu. Tapi Rachel tidak.
Jika dia menjadi Ny. Nicholas Young...
...setiap hari adalah perjuangan baginya.
"Dia sedang bergerak. Pancing, tarik dan TENGGELAMKAN DIA."
Kudengar dia bilang ke Tini bahwa Nick adalah tangkapan bagus.
Sudah biasa. Dia bahkan tidak secantik itu.
Sepertinya dia tidak pernah dengar soal operasi plastik.
Sial.
Maaf.
Kau yakin dia sudah siap untuk itu?
Rachel?
- Maaf. - Tidak apa-apa.
Lupakan gadis-gadis itu.
Kita di sini dan pesan layanan kamar?
"TANGKAP INI, DASAR PEREMPUAN MATERIALISTIS"
Akan kupanggilkan keamanan.
Tidak usah.
Aku tak mau membuat kehebohan.
Aku tak mau memberi mereka kepuasan.
Akhir pekan ini seharusnya menjadi perawatan kecantikan...
...koktail yang disajikan dalam nanas.
Jelas ini tidak ada di dalam daftar.
Buat apa Araminta punya teman seperti itu?
Mereka jahat sekali.
Jika kau besar bersama...
...kau akan buat alasan untuk orang itu.
Terutama orang bodoh.
Aku tahu Michael tidak perlu berurusan dengan...
...sosiopat pembunuh ikan.
Bagaimana kalian bisa melewati semua ini?
Aku belum menghadapi hal seburuk ini, tapi ini tidak baik.
Setidaknya katakan ini akan membaik.
Tentu ini akan membaik.
Kau tak apa-apa?
Ya.
Alamat Donasi: BNI 0050035308 | Indosat 085892166556 | www.paypal.me/rizaladam
Sebenarnya, tidak.
Kau bisa bicara padaku.
Michael selingkuh.
Aku turut prihatin, Astrid.
Kupikir aku ke sini untuk bertemu keluargamu...
...ke pernikahan sahabatmu, makan hidangan lezat.
Malah, aku merasa seperti tokoh jahat di sinetron...
...yang berencana mencuri kekayaan keluargamu.
Apa yang terjadi?
Aku bertemu Amanda.
Dia bilang bahwa semua orang di sini berpikir...
...bahwa aku orang jahat...
...yang melarangmu pulang ke Singapura tahun lalu...
...padahal aku tidak tahu kau harus pulang.
Kau punya banyak alasan untuk kesal.
Aku belum selesai.
Juga ada ikan penuh darah...
...yang ditinggal teman-teman Araminta di kamar hotelku...
...di ranjangku dengan tulisan di sampingnya...
"Tangkap ini, dasar perempuan materialistis."
Ditulis dengan besar menggunakan huruf pembunuh berantai.
Hanya itu yang terjadi?
Tolong katakan kalau hanya itu yang terjadi.
Kau tahu? Aku tidak peduli dengan para gadis bodoh itu...
...dengan tas desainer bodoh...
...dan kacamata hitam. Aku tidak peduli itu.
Aku tak peduli mantan pacarmu mengatakan semua omong kosong itu.
Masalahnya, kau tidak pernah cerita.
Aku yang salah.
Kenapa? Kau mengujiku?
Aku sungguh melakukan kesalahan.
- Kenapa kau lakukan itu? - Aku melakukan kesalahan.
Saat pertama kali kita bertemu, kau tidak tahu siapa aku...
...siapa keluargaku. Kau tidak peduli!
Ya, aku tidak peduli dengan semua itu.
Persis.
Kau sungguh berbeda dari semua wanita yang besar denganku.
Aku menyukai siapa diriku bila di dekatmu.
Aku tidak mau itu berubah.
Itu egois, aku tahu.
Maaf sudah membuatmu menghadapi itu sendirian.
Tetapi sekarang aku di sini.
Apa pun yang terjadi, kita akan melaluinya bersama.
Ikan mati dan semuanya.
Setuju?
Ikan itu menjijikkan.
Tapi aku sudah menguburnya.
Kau mengurusnya.
Kemarilah.
Kau tahu? Kita harus lakukan sesuatu malam ini.
Kita harus melakukan sesuatu yang hanya kita berdua.
- Setuju sekali. - Ya.
Tapi kita harus membuat pangsit lebih dulu.
Setuju?
Kita boleh memakannya?
Kita boleh makan sebanyak yang kau mau.
Baiklah.
Ini terlalu berlebihan.
Kita tuan rumah makan malam geladi...
...bukan memberi makan pasukan tentara.
Lebih baik kelebihan daripada disebut pelit.
Baiklah.
Taruh bayi di ranjang.
Selimuti. Sama untuk di sisi lainnya.
Beri ciuman selamat malam.
Lucu sekali.
- Bagaimana? - Lalu kau makan bayinya.
Lalu kau makan bayinya setelah dia matang.
Tidak, kau harus pastikan dia matang.
Apa Ah Ma yang mengajarimu?
Ya.
Aku, di sisi lain...
...diajari oleh Buyut Mabel.
Taruh botoks di wajah...
...lalu cubit, cubit, cubit.
Lalu selesai!
Kalian semua belajar saat kalian kecil?
Kami tidak punya pilihan.
Kami mengajari kalian agar tahu...
...darah, keringat, dan air mata yang diperlukan...
...untuk membesarkan dan memberi makan kalian.
Tidak seperti orang kulit putih...
...menaruh makaroni dan keju ke dalam oven listrik...
...untuk anak-anak mereka.
Pantas mereka menaruh orang tua mereka...
...ke panti jompo saat mereka sudah besar.
Aku tahu!
Ah Ma bilang jika kita tidak mewariskan tradisi seperti ini...
...tradisinya akan hilang.
Jangan sampai kita kehilangan tradisi kuno Tionghoa...
...karena membohongi anak-anak kita.
Ini sangat sepadan.
Ibu biasa menungguku pulang sekolah...
...dengan sekeranjang pangsit.
(Kau beruntung.)
Hei, aku tak pernah dapat pangsit sepulang sekolah.
Itu karena Bibi Felicity melakukan...
...perawatan wajah setelah pulang sekolah.
(Sok tahu.)
(Jika kakekmu masih hidup, dia akan menghajarmu.)
Bibi, ini Dolce.
Kau bisa berbahasa Kanton?
Aku tidak bisa.
Senang melihat kalian seperti ini.
Ketika aku masih kecil...
...hanya aku dan ibuku tercinta.
Tapi kami tidak punya keluarga besar seperti ini.
Sungguh menyenangkan.
Kata-katamu begitu indah, Rachel.
Kita beruntung saling memiliki.
Cincinnya indah sekali, Bibi Eleanor.
Aku tak pernah melihat cincin seperti itu.
Ayah Nick yang membuatnya saat dia melamarku.
Romantis sekali. Bagaimana kalian bertemu?
Mereka bertemu di Cambridge.
Mereka berdua sama-sama kuliah hukum.
Aku tidak tahu Bibi pengacara.
Memang tidak. Aku berhenti kuliah saat kami menikah.
Aku pilih membantu suamiku menjalankan bisnis...
...dan mengurus keluarga.
Bagiku, itu istimewa.
Tapi bagimu, mungkin itu ketinggalan zaman.
Aku senang kau menghargai rumah ini...
...dan kami berkumpul membungkus pangsit.
Tapi semua ini tak terjadi begitu saja.
Itu karena kami mengutamakan keluarga...
...bukannya mengejar impian.
- (Semuanya ada di sini!) - Ah Ma.
Ah Ma...
Terima kasih.
Nick.
Duduklah.
(Nicki, kau mengajak Rachel. Bagus.)
(Aku bisa melihatmu lebih jelas di siang hari.)
(Bentuk hidungmu membawa keberuntungan.)
(Biar kulihat, mendekatlah.)
(Cantik sekali.)
(Duduklah.)
(Kau yang membuat pangsit ini?)
(Pangsitnya tidak terlihat bagus.)
(Kau kehilangan sentuhanmu.)
Hai. Sepertinya aku tersesat.
Rumah ini sangat besar.
Aku senang menemukanmu.
Kurasa aku tidak adil.
Tidak, Bibi tahu?
Maaf aku sudah berasumsi.
Aku tidak bermaksud menyinggung Bibi.
Sama sekali tidak.
Kau bertanya soal cincinku.
Sebenarnya Ayah Nick membuatnya...
...ketika dia ingin melamarku...
...karena Ah Ma tidak mau memberinya cincin keluarga.
Aku bukan pilihan pertamanya.
Jujur, aku bukan pilihan keduanya.
Maaf. Aku tidak tahu.
Aku tidak berasal dari keluarga berada...
...punya koneksi yang tepat.
Ah Ma berpikir aku tidak pantas menjadi istri buat putranya.
Tapi jelas dia berubah pikiran.
Butuh waktu bertahun-tahun...
...dan dia punya alasan bagus untuk cemas.
Karena aku tak tahu pekerjaan dan pengorbanan yang dibutuhkan.
Sering kali aku bertanya-tanya...
...apakah aku pantas.
Tapi setelah melewati semuanya...
...aku tahu satu hal.
Kau tak akan pernah cukup pantas.
Kita sebaiknya kembali. Aku tak mau Nick khawatir.
Kau baik-baik saja?
Ya.
Aku tahu Ibuku kadang keras...
...tapi dia akan berbuat apa saja untukku.
Ada alasan kenapa aku tinggal dengan Ah Ma saat kecil.
Karena Ibuku tahu dirinya bukan kesayangan.
Jadi dia biarkan Ah Ma mengurusku agar aku jadi kesayangannya.
Kau masih kecil saat itu?
Ya.
Tapi memang sulit memahaminya dari luar.
Tapi dia melakukan yang terbaik untuk keluarga.
Bagi semua yang terlibat.
Aku sudah cukup makan pangsit...
...untuk seumur hidupku.
Kita sebaiknya lakukan apa?
Sushi, bioskop, apa saja yang kau suka. Sungguh.
Apa?
Dia bilang, "Kau tak akan pernah pantas untuk putraku"?
Atau bilang, "Kau...
"Kau takkan pernah cukup pantas untuk putraku"?
Seperti yang kedua.
Tapi dengan cara yang hampir membuatku menangis...
...dan muntah di saat yang sama.
Dia jahat sekali.
Pasti jika kau bilang akan tinggalkan Nick demi sejuta dolar...
...dia akan buatkan ceknya. Sudah lumrah di sini.
Dia melihatku seolah aku tidak ada artinya.
Mungkin cek 10 juta dolar.
Kurasa dia akan bersedia.
Aku bahkan tak tahu harus berbuat apa.
Aku tak bisa bilang pada Nick karena dia mengagumi Ibunya.
Ya, anak-anak Tionghoa berpikir kentut ibu mereka...
...adalah parfum Chanel No. 5.
Bagaimana dengan Ah Ma? Apa dia juga membenci wajahmu?
Baiklah, tak ada yang bilang mereka membenci wajahku.
Ah Ma menyukai wajahku. Katanya hidungku bawa keberuntungan.
Itu bagus!
Eleanor boleh membencimu seharian...
...tapi kau tak bisa kalahkan tradisi berbakti Tionghoa yang sudah lama.
Sebaiknya aku tak pergi ke pernikahan.
Itu hari penting Colin dan Araminta.
Aku tak mau merusaknya.
Sebaiknya aku tidak datang.
Bilang pada Nick bahwa aku keracunan makanan atau semacamnya.
- Apa? - Itu omong kosong.
- Kau hanya takut. - Tidak.
Baiklah, ini yang perlu kau pahami. Mengerti?
Ini bukan soal membuat Eleanor suka padamu.
Ini soal membuat dia menghormatimu.
Saat ini, dia menganggapmu tidak pantas...
- ...tak tahu apa, materialistis... - Ya, aku mengerti.
...tak berguna, bukan keturunan Tionghoa asli.
Kuning di luar, putih di dalam.
Aku tahu apa artinya.
Padahal kenyataannya, kau sangat modern, cerdas...
...profesor dalam teori permainan.
Tunjukkan sisimu itu.
Kau benar.
Tentu aku benar.
Peik Lin selalu benar.
Ya, dia sedang bermain ayam-ayaman denganku.
Dia menyerangku dan berpikir...
...aku akan menghindar seperti ayam.
Tapi kau tak boleh menghindar.
Aku tak akan menghindar. Bukan karena dia.
Tidak. Ayam itu pengecut, Kawan!
- Aku bukan ayam. - Kau bukan ayam.
Kau akan datang ke pernikahan itu...
...lalu kau akan bilang, "Petok-petok, Jalang!"
Petok-petok, Jalang!
Ayam itu pengecut.
Maaf, Paman.
Apa rencanamu malam ini?
Aku mau ke FedEx.
Kenapa?
Aku sudah menunggu lama melakukan ini dengan benar.
Aku memikirkan pemilihan alis mata, rambut gelombang...
...mungkin pita kelopak mata.
Bagaimana pendapatmu?
Semuanya.
Aku mau tambahkan masker wajah siput Korea.
Sayang, kulitmu begitu kering hingga membuat wajahku sakit.
Terima kasih.
Memang sudah waktunya ada yang berani menghadapi Bibi Eleanor.
Kau, bukan aku. Astaga!
Dia tidak boleh tahu aku di sini.
Tidak akan.
Baiklah. Ayo mulai bekerja. Cappuccino.
Ambil Balenciaga prem, Chloe persik...
...Giambattista, semua Bottega.
Jason Wu dengan pola kerut.
Lalu roti lapis untuk Peik Lin.
- Baiklah. - Baik.
Entah apa ini bagus...
...atau dia kelihatan seperti tampon badut.
Pada hari yang berat.
Kau kelihatan seperti bunga.
Bunga sedih kesepian yang tidak diinginkan kehadirannya.
Ini pernikahan termegah abad ini.
Jadi, tentu kami datang. Ini alami...
Tidak buruk.
Bajunya menopang dadamu.
Itu gaun berlengan? Paham maksudku?
Awas.
Baik.
Aku cinta para penggemarku.
Taipei Tiger 2 akan mengubah genrenya.
- Dia seorang bintang. - TT2, Sayang.
Cahayanya membuatku buta.
Ini sebabnya disko mati.
Kau mirip virus Ebola yang nakal.
Seperti sekantong Skittles. Cicipi pelangi.
Bisa bagus kalau kita...
Ya. Kurasa kita sebaiknya...
Kurasa jika kita bilang padanya gaun ini adalah idemu...
...karena dia tidak mau mendengarnya dari seorang pria.
Baiklah.
Ingat. Sudut optimal.
Di sini! Di sini!
Nyonya.
Semuanya, ada Rachel Chu dari New York.
Rachel Chu dari New York.
Rachel! Rachel! Lihat ke arahku!
Nona-nona, kalian tampak cantik.
Tolong minggir. Minggir.
- Cantik sekali! - Terima kasih.
Nona-nona, tolong. Minggir!
Bagus sekali. Gaun yang indah.
Nona-nona.
Amanda.
Kau menghalangi jalanku.
Apa?
Investor Tionghoa kami mulai gelisah.
Aku harus ke Shenzhen hari Senin...
...untuk coba menenangkan mereka.
Itu ulang tahun Cassian.
Ya, aku tahu.
Aku tak ingin melewatkannya, tapi ini penting.
Ulang tahun anakmu juga penting.
Suruh orang lain mengurusnya.
Kecuali ada alasan lain kau keluar kota?
Apa maksudmu?
Aku tahu kau selingkuh.
Astaga. Astrid.
Kita hadiri saja pernikahan itu dan kita bicarakan ini nanti.
Aku tidak mau membuat kehebohan.
Kau tahu aku selingkuh dengan wanita lain...
...dan kau tidak mau membuat kehebohan?
Kau lebih suka aku berteriak dan marah?
Ya. Jujur, aku lebih suka begitu.
Itu akan tunjukkan kau tidak hanya peduli pendapat orang...
...akan dirimu dan keluargamu.
Jangan balik menyalahkan aku.
Bukan aku yang membuat kesalahan!
Tentu tidak.
Kau selalu gadis yang paling cantik...
...paling kaya dan sempurna di sini.
Sementara aku hanya pria beruntung yang tak akan pernah pantas untukmu.
Jangan bilang begitu.
Aku tahu yang kau pikirkan, Astrid.
Karena itulah kau menyembunyikan sepatumu...
...perhiasan yang kau beli...
...seolah-olah aku tidak diingatkan setiap menit dalam hidupku.
Aku lelah.
Aku lelah karena setiap yang kulakukan tidak ada artinya.
Termasuk selingkuh.
Tentu yang kau lakukan ada artinya!
Bisa-bisanya kau berkata begitu?
Ini gereja atau sawah?
Mereka habiskan 40 juta untuk pernikahan ini.
Serius? Itu terlalu banyak?
Kita Metodis. 20 juta adalah batas kita.
Aku tahu.
Putri Intan. Wanita yang galak.
Aku dengar dia minta satu baris kursi untuk dirinya sendiri...
...agar tidak diganggu siapa pun.
Benarkah?
Siapa itu?
Bibi-bibi.
Rachel, aku senang melihatmu.
Aku yang senang.
Maaf, baris kursi kami penuh.
Aku suka gaunmu.
Petok-petok. Baiklah.
Puteri Intan. Rachel Chu.
Aku baca artikel Anda tentang pinjaman mikro...
...di Asian Economics Journal.
Aku menerima banyak kritik tentang artikel itu.
Anda tahu? Menurutku, para kritikus itu salah.
Karena pinjaman mikro Anda membantu para wanita...
...dan para wanita mendongkrak ekonomi.
Siapa namamu tadi?
Rachel Chu.
Senang bertemu denganmu.
Apa yang membawamu kemari?
Aku mengikuti seorang pemuda...
Ah Ma datang.
Dia tidak pernah menghadiri acara seperti ini.
(Terima kasih, Nenek.)
(Keluarga tidak perlu mengucapkan terima kasih.)
Bagaimana keadaanmu?
- Baik. - Bagus. Jangan gugup.
- Aku tidak gugup. - Kau terlihat tampan.
Terima kasih.
Rachel tidak duduk dengan keluargamu.
Ya. Aku tidak menyalahkannya.
Ibuku tidak menyambutnya.
Tapi kurasa dia duduk di belakang agar tak menarik perhatian.
Tidak. Dia di depan. Lihatlah.
Kurasa kau mendapatkan petarung.
Teman-teman, sudah waktunya.
- Baik. - Baiklah.
- Hei. - Ya?
Pastikan dia tidak menguasaimu.
Aku hanya bergurau.
Terima kasih sudah berdandan, Bernard.
Hei. Ini bukan tentang aku.
Ya. Ayo. Terima kasih, Bernard.
- Ini bukan tentang aku. - Baiklah.
Kau terlihat sangat luar biasa.
Aku memakai Spanx ganda. Aku tidak bisa bernapas.
Bukan pakaiannya, tapi dirimu.
Permisi.
Pesta ini takkan berdansa dengan sendirinya. Ayo.
- Ayo, Nicki-Nick. - Baik.
Kau hebat.
- Sungguh? Aku menginjaknya dua kali. - Bagus.
Oliver.
Ya, Bibi?
Tolong urus itu.
Baik.
Sebaiknya kau lebih sering mengenakan tuksedo.
Sepanjang waktu?
Ya.
Saat kau bermain basket di NCA...
...bercukur, menggosok gigi.
Alistair, ayahmu mencarimu.
Mengenai penarikan dana berlebih di rekening cadangan.
Astaga.
Sayang! Ya, ampun!
Hai.
Kau suka pesta pernikahannya?
Ya, ampun! Glamor sekali!
Saat aku dan Alistair menikah...
...aku ingin pernikahanku seperti ini.
Tidak! Aku ingin meriah! Lebih baik!
Sayang!
Kau akan beruntung jika orang tua Alistair memberimu upacara teh.
Kau tahu Alistair adalah anak keempat...
...dari keluarga yang pelit, bukan?
Dia tidak akan dapat apa-apa.
Kau inginkan pernikahan seperti ini?
Semestinya kau jatuh cinta dengan anak tunggal.
Seseorang seperti...
...Bernard Tai.
Tuan Nicholas...
...nenekmu mau bicara denganmu dan Nona Rachel.
Baik.
Pestanya meriah.
Ya!
Pegangkan.
Ah Ma, Ibu...
...ada apa ini?
(Aku baru mengenalmu sebentar...)
(...tapi sudah jelas, kau wanita yang sangat cerdas.)
(Tapi aku takkan membiarkanmu merusak cucuku dengan ambisimu.)
- Ah Ma! - Maaf jika Ibu harus bilang...
...tapi Rachel sudah membohongi kita tentang keluarganya...
...dan ibunya.
Apa maksud Bibi?
Ibu menyewa penyelidik swasta...
- Ibu tak mungkin melakukannya. - ...untuk memeriksa masa lalunya.
Dia bilang ayahnya meninggal di Tiongkok...
Ibu!
...tapi itu tidak benar.
Suami Ibumu masih hidup.
Dalam pernikahannya, ibumu selingkuh...
...dan hamil mengandung anak lelaki lain.
Sebelum suaminya tahu, dia kabur ke Amerika.
- Semuanya ada di sini. - Ibu tidak berhak!
- Kami sangat berhak! - Kalian tidak berhak!
Bibi bohong!
Apa kau tahu skandal yang bisa muncul...
...akibat Rachel menyembunyikan sesuatu seperti ini?
Dia takkan menyembunyikannya darimu.
Kita tidak bisa berhubungan dengan keluarga seperti ini.
Aku tidak mau jadi bagian dari keluargamu.
Rachel.
(Jangan mengejarnya dan merendahkan dirimu.)
(Nenek melarangmu. Jika pergi dengannya, jangan kembali!)
Lepaskan! Rachel.
Nick!
(Ini salahmu.)
(Kau biarkan ini terjadi karena membiarkan dia pergi terlalu lama.)
(Sekarang, lihat akibatnya!)
Hei, Cinderella. Ada apa?
Kau harus mengembalikan gaunmu sebelum tengah malam?
- Nicki-Nick! - Kau tepat waktu.
Oliver.
- Nicki, apa kau... - Rachel. Kau lihat Rachel?
Nicholas! Hai!
- Sudah lama sekali. - Ya.
Amanda, tidak. Amanda, jangan sekarang!
Rachel. Ayo sarapan.
Kau harus makan.
Atau ke toilet, atau mungkin mandi.
Semua ada di situ jika kau membutuhkannya.
Ini makan malammu, Rachel.
Terima kasih.
Aku akan mampir lagi malam ini.
Rachel, tolong telepon aku.
Kapan saja.
Aku mohon.
Rachel, ada yang ingin bertemu.
Aku tak mau bertemu dengannya.
Bukan Nick.
Ibu!
Minum lagi.
Dong-quai dan ginseng akan menambah tenagamu.
Terima kasih.
Semangatmu selalu kuat sejak dulu...
...bahkan sejak kecil.
Kau akan melewati ini.
Kenapa Ibu tidak cerita tentang Ayahku?
Suami Ibu bukanlah pria baik-baik.
Dia menyakiti Ibu.
Tapi teman sekelas Ibu membantu melalui semuanya...
...lalu kami jatuh cinta...
...dan Ibu mengandung anaknya.
Anak itu kau.
Ibu takut suami Ibu tahu...
...dan membunuh kami berdua...
...jadi Ibu membawamu kabur ke Amerika.
Apa Ibu pernah...
...entahlah, coba berbicara padanya?
Apa Ibu memikirkan dia?
Setiap harinya.
Saat pertama kali kita sampai di Amerika...
...yang bisa Ibu pikirkan adalah menghubunginya...
...tapi Ibu takut suami Ibu akan menemukan kita.
Saat ini, Ibu tak mau membuat masalah.
Aku sungguh minta maaf.
Jangan minta maaf.
Dengarkan Ibu.
Semua yang terjadi di masa lalu Ibu...
...adalah alasan mengapa Ibu memilikimu.
Putri Ibu yang pintar dan berani.
Aku pikir dialah jodohku.
Sekarang, aku hanya ingin pulang.
Nick yang telepon Ibu...
...dan membawa Ibu kemari.
Sebelum kita pulang, sebaiknya kau bicara dengannya.
Nanti kukirim fotonya lewat surel.
P.T., sudah berapa lama kau berdiri di situ?
Baru sebentar.
Maaf atas semuanya.
Perlakuan Ibuku padamu tidak bisa dimaafkan.
- Ini bukan salahmu. - Ini salahku.
Sejak aku bisa mengingat...
...keluargaku menjadi prioritasku.
Aku sudah muak membuat alasan untuk mereka.
Nick.
Menikahlah denganku.
Menikahlah denganku, dan kita akan memulai...
...kehidupan baru bersama di New York.
Hanya kau dan aku. Aku akan tinggalkan semua ini.
Terima kasih sudah mau menemuiku di sini.
Tak usah pedulikan mereka.
Mereka setengah tuli dan hanya bisa berbahasa Hokkian.
Ibuku mengajariku cara bermain.
Dia bilang bahwa Mahyong akan mengajariku...
...keterampilan hidup yang penting.
Negosiasi, strategi, kerja sama.
Kau memintaku kemari tentu bukan untuk pelajaran Mahyong.
Pong.
Ibuku juga mengajariku.
Aku tahu Nick sudah cerita yang sebenarnya tentang Ibuku padamu.
Tetapi kau tidak menyukaiku sejak aku tiba di sini.
Kenapa?
Ada sebuah ungkapan Hokkian.
Artinya, "Kaum kita."
Kau bukan kaum kami.
Sebab aku tidak kaya?
Karena aku tidak sekolah dengan tinggal di asrama di Inggris...
...atau tidak berasal dari keluarga kaya?
Kau orang asing. Orang Amerika.
Semua orang Amerika memikirkan kebahagiaannya sendiri.
Kau tak ingin Nick bahagia?
Itu sebuah ilusi.
Kami tahu cara membangun sesuatu yang bisa bertahan.
Sesuatu yang tidak kau ketahui.
Kau tidak mengenalku.
Aku tahu kau bukan yang Nick butuhkan.
Dia melamarku kemarin.
Katanya dia akan meninggalkan keluarganya...
...dan darimu untuk selamanya.
Jangan khawatir. Aku menolaknya.
Hanya orang bodoh yang menutup kartu bagus.
Tak ada kemenangan. Kau yang memastikan itu.
Karena jika Nick memilihku, dia akan kehilangan keluarganya.
Jika dia memilih keluarganya...
...dia akan membencimu seumur hidupnya.
Jadi, kau memilih untuknya.
Aku tidak pergi karena takut...
...atau karena berpikir aku tidak cukup pantas.
Karena untuk pertama kali dalam hidupku...
...aku tahu aku pantas.
Aku sangat mencintai Nick.
Aku tidak mau dia kehilangan Ibunya lagi.
Jadi, aku hanya ingin kau tahu bahwa suatu hari...
...ketika Nick menikahi gadis beruntung lain...
...yang cukup pantas bagimu...
...dan kau bermain-main dengan cucumu...
...sementara tan hua mekar dan burung-burung berkicau...
...itu semua karena aku.
Anak miskin, yang dibesarkan oleh seorang Ibu...
...kelas bawah, imigran biasa.
Hei.
Akan kukirim orang untuk mengambil sisa barangku.
Tetapi aku mau bicara denganmu tentang hakku mengunjungi Cassian.
Berhentilah bicara.
Apa?
Tak usah mengemasi barang-barangmu.
Kau yang beli apartemen ini, ambil saja. Kami yang akan pergi.
Apa maksudmu akan pergi?
Kalian mau ke mana?
Aku punya 14 gedung apartemen sendiri...
...jadi mungkin salah satu dari itu.
Kau akan bertemu Cassian saat waktunya tepat baginya...
...bukan sebaliknya.
Hei!
Ini bukan salahku hubungan kita tidak berhasil.
Kau benar. Mestinya aku tidak menyembunyikan barang darimu.
Menyembunyikan sepatuku, menolak pekerjaan...
...pekerjaan amal, khawatir yang membuatmu merasa rendah diri.
Tetapi mari kita perjelas.
Masalah pernikahan kita bukan karena uang keluargaku.
Tapi karena kau pengecut. Kau menyerah pada hubungan kita.
Tapi aku baru menyadari...
...bukan tugasku untuk membuatmu merasa seperti lelaki sejati.
Aku tak bisa memaksamu mengubah jati dirimu.
Baguslah!
Menjauh dari Nick...
...dan keluarganya yang kaya raya.
Kau tak punya siapa-siapa, tak punya kekayaan bersih...
...tapi kau punya integritas. Itu sebabnya aku menghormatimu.
Terima kasih untuk segalanya.
- Selamat tinggal, Ny. Chu. - Selamat tinggal dan terima kasih.
Yakin tak mau tetap di sini?
Kau tahu, saudaraku P.T. masih lajang.
Baiklah.
Rachel!
Rachel! Tetaplah di situ.
Ibu mau mencari selimut tambahan.
Halo.
Maaf, sebentar saja. Nick, sedang apa kau di sini?
Aku akan kembali ke New York bersamamu.
Astaga, jangan membuat ini semakin sulit.
Aku selalu membayangkan seperti apa aku melamarmu nanti.
Kau tahu? Aku sudah merencanakan semuanya.
Aku di belakangmu. Jangan pedulikan aku.
Aku akan membawamu ke tempat kesukaanku di pulau.
Ada jalan tersembunyi yang suka aku lewati saat kecil.
Kini ada teluk yang mengarah ke danau yang indah ini.
Maaf, Kawan.
Tunggu sebentar.
Ketika matahari terbenam, aku akan berlutut.
Lalu seisi dunia akan menunduk.
Karena hanya ada kau...
Karena hanya kau...
Maaf, aku bisa membantumu.
Baiklah, tak apa. Tetap di situ.
Bagus. Kau juga? Awas jarimu.
- Angkat. Baiklah. - Terima kasih.
Semuanya sudah selesai?
Karena aku hanya butuh 30 detik dengan wanita ini.
Baik, terima kasih.
Ada yang mau lewat. Maaf.
Aku tahu ini jauh dari surga tersembunyi.
Tapi di mana pun kau berada...
...di situlah tempatku.
Tapi aku...
Rachel Chu...
...kau mau menikah denganku?
Membuatku menjadi pria paling bahagia di dunia ini?
Ya! Ya! Ya! Dia mau menikah denganmu!
Ya!
- Aku mencintaimu. - Aku juga mencintaimu.
Ini akan jadi penerbangan pulang yang indah ke New York.
Sebenarnya aku memikirkan untuk tinggal semalam lagi.
Semuanya untukmu, Nick!
Buat anak! Buat anak!

Be careful, your fingers.
May I help you?
This is the Calthorpe. Private hotel.
I'm Mrs. Eleanor Young.
I have a reservation at the Lancaster Suite.
We spoke on the phone when I confirmed yesterday.
Sorry, don't seem to have your reservation.
Good evening. I'm Reginald Ormsby, hotel manager.
Is there a problem?
I'm Mrs. Eleanor Young.
My family and I would like to be shown to our suite.
We've had a long flight.
We're fully booked, madam. You must have made a mistake.
I'm sure you and your lovely family can find other accommodation.
May I suggest you explore Chinatown?
Please, may I use your phone to call my husband?
It's the least you can do.
Mrs. Young, I must ask you to leave
or I'll have to call the police.
Please, go right ahead.
Lord Calthorpe, my apologies for the disturbance.
Eleanor! I just got off the phone with your husband.
Get the Lancaster Suite ready. Now.
- Surely you're joking, sir. - I assure you, I'm not.
As of this evening, my family's long history
as custodians of the Calthorpe is ended.
I'm selling the hotel to my dear friends,
the Young family of Singapore.
Meet the new lady of the house, Eleanor Young.
- Join me for a toast. - We'd be delighted.
Do get a mop. The floor's wet.
Get a mop.
I'm all in.
Fold.
Nothing?
This whole time you had nothing?
All right, so
how did I beat T.A. Curtis so very, very badly?
Well, I know for a fact that Curtis is cheap.
So he's not playing using logic or math,
but using his psychology.
Our brains so hate the idea of losing something that's valuable to us
that we abandon all rational thought,
and we make some really poor decisions.
So, Curtis wasn't playing to win.
He was playing not to lose.
Here. Put it towards a haircut.
All right, that's it for today.
Don't forget your essays on conditional probability
are due next week.
Yes! Mmm-hmm.
You know what? You can order your own.
Mmm. I'm okay with coffee. Thanks.
Yeah, well, you always say that,
and then you end up eating all my dessert.
I don't know what you're talking about.
'Cause I have, like, a tiny bit.
Okay. Can we have one more of these, please? Thank you.
So what about us taking an adventure east?
You wanna get pork buns in the East Village.
That's what it is, isn't it?
I was actually thinking of further east.
Like Queens?
Like Singapore. For spring break.
Colin's wedding.
We've been dating for over a year now,
and I think it's about time people met my beautiful girlfriend.
Come on, I'm Colin's best man.
Don't you wanna see where I grew up?
Meet my family, my Ah Ma?
And meet up with that strange college roommate of yours.
Peik Lin.
- Mmm-hmm. Peik Lin. - She has been begging me
to come visit her, you know.
The universe has spoken. It wants you over there.
Come to Singapore.
I want the whole island to meet the brilliant Rachel Chu.
"If then you have been raised with Christ,
"seek the things that are above
"where Christ is seated "at the right hand of God.
"Set your minds on things that are above,
"not on things that are on Earth."
Eleanor, is Nicki bringing a girl to Colin's wedding?
My Amanda heard it from her friend Francesca.
Eddie says her name is Rachel Chu.
Oh, I thought that Nick was coming alone.
Did you know he had a girlfriend?
Nick dates many girls. It's hard to keep track.
Amanda knows everyone
and she has never heard of her.
Rachel Chu.
Maybe she's from the Taiwan plastics Chu family.
If you want, I have a private investigator.
Very discreet.
I think we should return to the word of God.
Alix.
Ephesians. Chapter six, verse four.
"Bring up your children in the discipline "and instruction of the Lord."
Oh, I do hope she's a good Christian girl.
Well, if he's bringing her home, it must be serious.
Exactly.
- It's my mum. Do you mind? - Mmm. Go ahead.
All right.
- Save me some of that. - Okay.
Hey, Mum, everything okay?
Does something have to be wrong for me to call?
Yeah, usually.
Very funny.
Are you bringing the girl you're seeing to Colin's wedding?
Mmm. We were literally just talking about that.
How could you know?
Everybody knows.
Radio One Asia.
Move on to Corinthians. I'll catch up.
Oh, yes.
We're looking forward to having you home.
And your room is all ready for you.
Thanks, Mum.
But Rachel and I will be staying together.
I see.
Well, I'm having the house re-done.
And it's not ready for guests.
If Rachel comes, I think she might be more comfortable
staying somewhere else.
All right, sorry about that.
I saved you a piece.
You did, did you? A very small piece at that.
Thank you very much.
How's your mom? Everything okay?
Couldn't be better.
Hey, Mom, this one's kind of cute. What do you think?
No, no! You can't wear that to meet Nick's Ah Ma.
Blue and white is for Chinese funerals.
Now this, this symbolizes good fortune and fertility.
Great! I was really going for that "lucky baby maker" vibe.
Hey! You're the one who asked for my help
picking out a dress to meet Nick's family.
It's only 'cause I hardly know anything about them.
Every time I bring them up, Nick changes the subject.
Maybe he's embarrassed.
Maybe his parents are poor, and he has to send them money.
That's what all good Chinese children do.
Oh, you're going to have a wonderful time.
You've always wanted to go to Asia.
And who knows, if all goes well in Singapore,
you might just come back with a souvenir.
Oh, Mom, stop!
Nick and I haven't even talked about that.
I mean, his parents can't not like me, right?
What was that look? I saw that.
Nothing. It's just,
Nick bringing a girl all the way there
to meet them can mean a lot
to these overseas families. They're different from us.
How are they different? They're Chinese, I'm Chinese.
I'm so Chinese, I'm an economics professor
with lactose intolerance.
Yeah, but you grew up here.
You're different.
But wearing a lucky color will make a good first impression.
Okay, game plan.
Check our bags, get through security,
and then we could eat one of the three homemade Tupperware
meals my mom packed for us.
Good afternoon, Mr. Young, Miss Chu.
We'll take your bags and get you checked into first class.
- Great. - Oh. No, there's a mistake.
We're not first class. We're economy people.
This way, please.
Just go with it. Come on.
But...
Yeah, they'll be fine. Just leave them there.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Young, Miss Chu.
Here's the way to your private suite.
And some champagne.
Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
After takeoff, would you like to enjoy the lounge chairs,
or should we convert your suite into a bedroom?
Uh... We're good. Thank you.
Enjoy.
- Nick. We can't afford this.
These pajamas are fancier than any of my real clothes.
My family has business with the airline.
The tickets, they're a perk.
What kind of business?
Real estate, investment, other things.
Nothing interesting.
"Dim sum."
So your family is, like, rich?
We're comfortable.
That is exactly what a super-rich person would say.
It's not a big deal, obviously.
I just think it's kind of weird that I had no idea.
I mean, you have a Jamba Juice card.
You use my Netflix password.
You play basketball at that Y that kind of smells.
I really like that place, thank you very much.
And yes, my family has money,
but I've always thought of it as theirs.
Not mine.
I get that. But I'm going all the way over there to meet them...
Kind of just wanna know what I'm getting into.
And, you know, they're your family.
Well...
My family is much like anybody else's.
There's half of them that you love and respect,
and then there's the other half.
Which half am I meeting?
Well, there's my cousin Alistair,
based in Taiwan, works in movies.
And cut!
He's dating Kitty Pong, an actress.
- Kitty. - Alistair.
You like it? I was feeling very,
very the emotions. Can you feel it?
Oh, I can feel all of you. And all of me.
Okay, and what about your cousin Eddie?
You don't ever talk about him.
Well, Eddie's a big finance guy in Hong Kong.
A real family man.
You know, if you move, it will look more natural.
No, this way you get our optimal angles.
Then we're done.
Russell, thank you so much.
It's an honor to be photographed by you.
My pleasure. People will love it
in the next Hong Kong Vogue.
Thank you, Russell.
Hong Kong Vogue? I knew it. Your dress is a disaster.
If you wore a Bottega gown, like I told you to,
we'd be in the American Vogue.
You can wear that gown to Hell, Eddie.
Stop!
Then there's Astrid.
Ah. I remember Astrid.
She's like who I wanna be when I grow up.
Astrid is awesome.
And she's probably the only one I'm actually close with.
And she's really grounded and down to earth,
once you get to know her.
Not only did she graduate top of her class at Oxford,
start multiple charities, and is a fashion icon,
Astrid has the biggest heart of any of my cousins.
Mummy? See what I made for bunny?
No, not now.
Hi, I'm Astrid. What's your name?
Vita.
And who's this?
Bun-Bun.
Well, I think Bun-Bun looks very dashing with his bow.
You have a good eye.
Thank you.
Miss Leong, right this way.
It's very nice to meet you both.
These are all brand-new from Antwerp.
You're the first person I've shown them to.
What are those?
Those?
Those are very special.
Burmese pearl drop earrings.
Set with emeralds, and rare pigeon blood-red rubies.
They were worn by Queen Supayalat
at her self-anointed coronation in 1878.
How much?
Having you wear one of my pieces
is better publicity than I can buy.
I'll let them go at cost. 1.2 million.
So if you have all this family there,
why are we staying in a hotel?
Aren't good Chinese sons
supposed to stay with their parents?
Well, because A, I'm not that good a son.
And B,
I just want you to myself, just for a bit.
That okay?
Okay.
God, I can't believe this airport has a butterfly garden
and a movie theater.
JFK is just salmonella and despair.
Nick! Nick!
Araminta!
- I missed you. - I missed you, too.
- Rachel. - Hi.
There he is.
It's so nice to finally meet you.
It's so nice to meet you, too.
- Nicki-Nick! - It's been too long, brother.
It has been too long. Welcome back.
You guys didn't have to pick us up.
Of course we did. We had to.
Of course I had to come welcome my best man properly.
- Hi, Rachel. - Hello.
Oh! Lovely to finally meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Shall we? Let me help you with this.
Yes.
- These are for you. - I can grab these.
I know they're a bit over-the-top.
Let's get you guys localized.
- Are you hungry? - I'm always hungry.
So let's eat everything we can.
Welcome to heaven on earth!
I hope you're hungry. I am bloody starving.
Guys! Here! Whoo!
Come with me.
Each of these hawker stalls sells pretty much one dish,
and they've been perfecting it for generations.
You know, this is one of the only places in the world
where street food vendors actually earn Michelin stars.
- Hey! How are you? - Uncle.
Long time no see, my friend.
Here you go. Thank you very much, sir.
- Look at this. Look at this. - My favorite.
One of those for you.
Yes, thank you.
Looks a little vomity.
- Oh, my God! - Yes?
I told you. Best satay on the island for sure.
So yummy, isn't it?
All right, dig in, guys. Oh.
Before I forget, I need your help tomorrow.
I need to do some groomsmen stuff,
and I don't wanna do it alone with Bernard Tai.
I still cannot believe that you got that guy to be your groomsman.
Thank you. Thank you. I rest my case.
Minty.
Well, it wasn't up to me, was it? It's not my choice.
Bernard is the human douche nozzle
who used to steal my tuck shop money when we were kids.
Until Nicki-Nick beat him up.
- Well... - You beat somebody up?
I threw a single punch.
I fell on the floor and the guy sat on me.
So, wasn't really much of a fight.
A toast, guys.
To my best man, Nick Young, who can't fight for nuts,
but will always have your back.
A toast to married life.
- Not yet! Too early. - Oh, God!
Well, this time next week, guys!
We gotta get over your bachelor party first, matey.
Is that necessary, man? Come on!
Listen, Rachel, I know we've only just met,
but it's my bachelorette party this weekend,
and I would love for you to come.
That'll be amazing.
- Thank you so much! - Good! Good!
- Am I out of the picture? - Thanks, man.
- Am I totally out of the picture? Yes, I've replaced you with Bernard.
Screw that man!
Also, I have to say,
I can't remember the last time I saw Nick like this.
That's funny, though.
He's just happy to be home.
Oh, yeah, he's just happy to be home.
With you.
Your dad will be the death of you.
My dad will be the death of me.
Oh, cheers to that.
Guys, we have to dig in
'cause this crab is not gonna eat itself.
What should I try first?
- Try some of this. Thank you. - Do you want some of this?
- It's really spicy. - It is really spicy.
Nick's in Singapore!
It's good to be home.
- Is Michael here? - Not yet, ma'am.
Also, your son woke up. He wants to see you.
All right.
You know what to do. Quickly.
I'm sorry. Got stuck in a meeting.
It's okay. I get it.
But don't forget,
wedding festivities start on Wednesday,
so no emergencies next week.
I know.
Wouldn't dream of missing a second with your family and their friends.
Come on, it won't be all bad.
Nick and his new girlfriend will be there.
You'll like her.
Oh, yeah?
Why? 'Cause she's a commoner like me?
You know that's not what I meant.
You know, I thought I caught the maids
trying to shove a pair of Jimmy Choos behind a dryer.
Yeah, I don't know why you bother trying to hide your shopping from me.
You can buy whatever you want.
I get it. Besides, everybody knows
you wear the money pants in this family.
Pants are overrated.
Oh, I got you something, too.
To celebrate the launch of your startup.
I know you don't like expensive gifts,
but you're not a captain in the army anymore.
You're a CEO. You should look the part.
I...
I love it. Thank you.
What time is it?
Morning.
I'm afraid it's time for me to do some groomsman duties.
Stay in bed.
You stay here. I'll get you a breakfast tray.
You know what? I should get up, too.
I told Peik Lin I would meet up with her today.
Ah, a little college reunion.
But don't forget. Dinner at Ah Ma's tonight.
The whole family's gonna be there.
- Yes. - I can't wait to show you off.
Hubba, hubba.
How can I resist?
Ooga-ooga.
You put those glasses on on purpose.
New York in the house!
Yeah! Yeah!
Peik Lin!
What up, bitch? Yeah!
Oh, my God! You look amazing.
I know. Some things never change, right?
And this is quite a place.
Astor! Vanderbilt! Rockefeller!
Naughty, naughty boys. Stop barking.
- Hey, Rachel! - Hi!
Singapore is so hot. Come in and enjoy the aircon. Come on.
Whole family waiting to meet you. Very excited.
Rachel, welcome, welcome.
Wow! Oh, my gosh!
Your house is amazing, Mrs. Goh.
Call me Auntie. Auntie Neenah.
Sorry. Auntie Neenah.
Oh, yeah.
We were inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.
And Donald Trump's bathroom.
- Really? - Yeah.
You like it or not?
Oh, yes. The gold is very brilliant.
Rachel Chu, we are so grateful
for all the help you have given my Peik Lin back in her uni days.
I mean, without you, she would be a hot mess.
Oh, my God, no. Actually,
if it wasn't for her, I'd be a big mess.
She was a huge help to me in college.
It's nice to meet you, Mr. Goh.
Nice to meet you, too, Chu.
Ku-ku. Ku-Chu. You. Poo-poo.
No, I'm just kidding.
I don't have an accent.
I'm just messing with you.
No, I studied in the States, too.
Yeah, Cal State Fullerton.
I majored in Thought.
Don't stand on ceremony, Rachel.
This is simple food, lah.
Ah, cha, cha, cha! Don't be shy.
- Oh. Thank you. - You're not a model.
I'm definitely not.
No, you're not. Not at all. Far from it.
I know.
Make sure you eat it all.
'Cause I'm watching you.
- Okay, thank you. - Okay, yeah.
- Ah Pa, can we go trampoline? - ...go trampoline?
You haven't finished your nuggets yet, sweetie.
Okay, there's a lot of children starving in America, right?
I mean, take a look at her. She's American, huh?
Really skinny. You wanna look like that?
- No. - Then eat your nuggets!
So, Rachel, what you do in America?
- I'm an economics professor. - Wow.
Very impressive. Econ professor, eh?
Wow, you must be very smart. Good for you.
Let me get this straight.
You both went to the same school,
yet someone came back with a degree that's useful.
And the other one came back as Asian Ellen.
Psst, P.T.
Look over here.
She's a hottie.
This is the kind of girl you should date.
Smart, beautiful. Not those like K-Pop skanks
with no brain, big eyes and small backsides.
She has an amazing backside.
This is Goh standard.
Don't be shy. Just talk to her.
I love you.
Okay. No, just, uh...
Pa, she's here with her boyfriend.
I don't see no ring on her finger.
Well, my boyfriend's actually from Singapore and that's why we're here.
We're here to go to his best friend's wedding,
where he's gonna be the best man.
What's his name?
This is a very small island. Maybe we know his family.
His name is Nick Young.
The Nick you're dating is Nick Young?
His best friend...
You're invited to Colin Khoo's wedding, ah?
Yeah. You guys know them or something?
Hells yeah.
The Khoos, the Youngs...
I mean, who doesn't know who they are?
They're just the biggest developers in all of Singapore.
And Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, New Mexico.
She gets it.
Colin and Araminta's wedding
is Singapore's event of the century.
The Youngs are like royalty.
Did you not know? Does she not know?
Why you never say before?
Tell, tell, what are they like?
I don't really know what they're...
I haven't met them yet. I'm gonna meet them tonight.
I'm going to Nick's grandma's house.
You're going to Nick's grandma's house wearing this?
Wearing that?
No way. No way.
Yeah, I thought red was a lucky color, right?
Yeah. If you're an envelope. Zing! Nailed it!
Zing!
Rachel, these people aren't just rich, okay?
They're crazy rich. Look.
There's new money all over Asia.
We got the Beijing billionaires, the Taiwan tycoons...
But the Young family, they're old-money rich.
They had money when they left China in the 1800s.
And they went all the way down here.
Not there... Here.
They came to Singapore
when there was nothing but jungle and pig farmers.
There was a snake here, eating an apple.
You know what I mean? And they built all of this.
Now, they're the landlords
of the most expensive city in the world. Here you go.
These people are so posh and snobby, they're snoshy.
Here you go.
Yeah, but Nick's not like that.
Even if he isn't, I guarantee you the family is.
Which is why tonight,
you need to not look like Sebastian of The Little Mermaid.
You know, the little crab guy?
Look at this guy, he's sleeping.
Come on, this isn't your grandma's road.
God damn it!
Thank you for driving me.
Duh. This is like my one chance to see the Young family mansion.
At the next intersection, make a U-turn.
Make a U-turn.
Are you sure you gave me the right address?
The GPS says there's, like, nothing here.
Like, literally nothing.
I don't know why we're here.
I mean, I put in the exact address.
- You copied and you pasted it? - Yeah.
Did you just copy and paste "jungle" and just kind of threw it in there?
- No. This is the address... - Because I feel like that's...
You actually used the... Okay! All right.
That's a... Uh, hi! So we'll just...
Hello, sir. How are you?
We're here for the party, and we're...
We come in peace.
Do you know where the Young family house is?
Nicholas Young? I'm Rachel Chu.
I'm here to go to his family dinner.
Uh, Rachel Chu for the list. If there is a list.
He's on the phone. He's on the phone.
Is that a gun knife? It's a knife gun.
Okay, and there's a friend. Hi! Very nice to...
We can go through? We're going through? Okay.
- Don't stab the car. - Okay.
Okay, okay. Thank you, bye!
Oh, my God, it's beautiful.
Beautiful? It's 200 mil worth of real estate.
It's spectacular.
Damn, Rachel. He's like the Asian Bachelor.
Thanks, brother.
Hello, gorgeous.
Wow! I think I've just fallen in love with you all over again.
Rachel!
I missed you, too.
- Yeah? - What did you get up to?
Psst! Rachel!
Oh, uh, this is my friend, Peik Lin.
- Hi, there. - Howdy.
Thank you very much for bringing Rachel.
Oh, no worries.
Do you wanna stop by for some dinner?
- Oh, no, I couldn't impose. - No, it's not a problem.
- I had some dinner plans. - Seriously, we've got...
Yeah, I'll fucking come to dinner.
- I missed you. - Did you?
- Yes. - How was your day?
It was fun! I got to meet Peik Lin's whole family, her dog.
Nope.
You have a cocktail dress in your trunk?
I'm not an animal, Rachel.
I thought this was just a family thing.
My grandmother's invited some of her friends over tonight.
Her tan huas are blooming. It's a whole thing.
You ready for this?
Oh, damn, Nick. It's a party though. Okay.
The good bathrooms are up the stairs,
and you can get changed in there.
Okay, good, I'll find it. Thank you.
You know, when you said you grew up in your grandma's house,
I wasn't expecting this.
Thank you.
Oh, no, no. Those are for your fingers.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
A little bit much, I know.
I mean, this place is gorgeous.
And like the rolling green hills.
I mean, there are armed guards out there.
And a giant tiger.
Okay.
That is Mr. Harimau.
Now, my great-grandfather actually shot him
when he ran into the house.
But Astrid and I, we used to hide cigarettes in his paws.
Do you wanna head in?
Actually, I wanted to bring you over to my mum first.
Come on.
Mum.
You need a haircut. So unkempt.
And you look tired from your trip.
I'm gonna ask the cook to make you some herbal soup.
I'll send it to the hotel later.
Mum, this is Rachel Chu.
Oh, my gosh! I'm so happy to meet you, Mrs. Young.
Or Auntie. Right?
I'm learning the lingo.
I'm very glad to finally meet you, too.
And I'm sorry Nick's father couldn't be here.
He was called to business in Shanghai.
I told Rachel when duty calls, Dad answers.
As it should be.
Nick tells me you're a professor, too.
What do you teach?
Um, I teach economics.
And she's brilliant. NYU's youngest faculty member.
So, economics...
Sounds challenging.
Are your parents academics as well?
No. Well, my dad actually died before I was born,
and my mom didn't even go to college.
She actually hardly spoke any English
when she immigrated to the United States.
But she worked really hard, and she studied,
and she earned her real estate license
while she was waiting tables to support us.
Now, she likes to say
that she's Flushing's top real estate broker.
Self-made woman. She must be so proud of you.
Well, she knows that I'm passionate about what I do,
and she's always wanted that for me.
Pursuing one's passion. How American.
Well, your mother's very open-minded, not like here,
where parents are obsessed
with shaping the life of their children.
That's dinner.
Go ahead.
I'll be out in a minute.
Rachel, it was lovely meeting you.
Thank you. You, too.
Okay, she hates me.
She takes a little minute to warm up,
- but we'll get there. - A minute?
- Nicki! Rachel! - Astrid.
Hey. Good to see you.
I'm so glad you could make it.
- Michael. - Nick.
Astrid. So good to see a face I know.
This is my husband, Michael.
Nice to meet you. Heard so much about you.
Nice to meet you, Michael.
Hey, the golden boy's back! Nick!
And you must be Rachel.
I'm Edison Cheng. This is my wife.
- Hi. I'm... - Her name is Fiona.
So I see you've already met Princess Astrid
and her little soldier toy-boy, Mikey.
You know, Mikey is a big-shot tech startup guy.
So if you forget your password, he's your man.
So you're from the Taiwan plastic Chus, right?
Can I punch him in the face? Just once.
Take a number.
I'll be in my usual corner. Champagne?
Thank you.
So, have you prepped Rachel to face the wolves?
Rachel is a New Yorker.
She lectures millennials for a living.
I think she'll manage our family.
You've been away too long.
Okay, sorry, time out.
So you're not from a Taiwan Chu family?
Nope.
Hong Kong telecom Chus?
No. Malaysian packing peanut Chus?
Is that really a thing?
- Yeah, it's everywhere. - I'm gonna stop you there
because I'm gonna take her on the rounds.
- We'll be back, though. - No, wait. Hang on.
China instant noodle Chus. Rachel,
Chu are you?
Ugh. Let's go.
This is Auntie Alix and Auntie Felicity.
Hi! It's so nice to meet you.
I've never been to a tan hua party before.
We love any excuse to throw a soiree.
Do your parents like to entertain?
Oh. I'm sorry. Your mother's single.
Yup.
Auntie Jacqueline.
One of my parents' oldest friends.
I actually met Nick's father at Cambridge.
So, what line of work is your father in?
Oh, my father died before I was born.
But he was a factory worker in China.
This is Ling Cheh, my old nanny.
Look, now's the time we need all hands on deck.
Please, please, just do me this favor.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
They started clearing away dinner.
Your favorites.
Thank you.
You know if you need bodies at the office,
I could always come in and help out.
The glamorous Astrid Leong
- working as an assistant? - Mmm-hmm.
Wait, isn't Araminta's bachelorette party tomorrow?
And this will be the perfect excuse to get out of it.
Thank you. Really.
But I've got everything covered.
Okay.
I forgot to get you a fork.
It's okay, you stay. I'll go get it.
Michael, I think it's the office.
Oh, my God! Nick, I can't believe I just did that.
It's fine. I don't think anybody even noticed.
I think I freaked out your nanny...
Oh, my God!
So sorry.
It's fine, don't worry about it.
Can I have a tissue please?
Go, go. Get changed. I'll keep Rachel company.
Thank you, Oli. You're in good hands.
Give me two minutes. I'll change.
Sorry.
Hi, I'm Rachel.
Oh, I know.
Rachel! Rachel!
I heard you thought Ah Ma was the cook!
On the bright side, you're the talk of the party.
People like your dress.
Oh, I did that.
- Oh. - I know!
Such a chic '70s goddess.
I know.
It's very disco Cleopatra, but in a good way.
That's exactly what I was going for.
Oh, well. Oliver.
- Hi. - I like your shoes.
Oh, thank you. I'm Peik Lin. Ditto.
- Cheers. - There you go.
Gosh, these are lovely.
They're clip-ons. Thank you.
Are they? Oh, wow!
So, Oliver, are you a cousin, too?
Mmm. Well, I'm one of the poorer relations.
The rainbow sheep of the family.
But I make myself useful.
Whatever the Youngs want, I procure.
Golden koi fish, Huanghuali furniture.
A rare Cambodian gong.
Why would they want to buy a rare Cambodian gong?
Because they can.
Ah Ma insists all your clothes be washed
and pressed every two weeks.
This one.
Everything is exactly as I left it.
Looking for your cigars?
I had them thrown out years ago.
Never could get anything past you, could I?
I keep telling Ah Ma to put your things away,
but she says this room makes her feel like you're still here.
Well, I got an earful when you didn't move back last year.
Your father and I were really looking forward to having you home.
He's not getting any younger.
With you onboard,
maybe he'll take a day off once in a while.
I know, Mum.
I'm just not ready yet.
There's things in New York that I wanna see through.
Well, I'm happy I finally met Rachel.
She is very impressive.
I think so, too.
I thought you might be excited that the first girl that I bring home
is a Chinese professor.
Chinese American.
You know, bringing her home,
introducing her at a large family gathering,
some people may say...
When there's something to say
about Rachel and me, you'll be first to hear.
But some things I need to figure out on my own.
Is that an American accent I'm hearing?
How do I look?
Perfect.
Everyone! Everyone!
The tan hua plants very rarely bloom,
and even then only at night.
Their beauty is spectacular but fleeting.
By dawn, they'll be gone.
Come. Come.
Oh, someone forgot to wear a bra.
Kitty Pong. Cousin Alistair's latest flame. An actress.
Rumor is, she was in a porno. Two Girls, One Cup of Noodles.
You know, I thought I would like that more than I did.
- The book was much better. - Mmm-hmm.
Is it just me or are people staring at me?
Oh, they're just jealous. You nabbed the crown prince.
Nicki is Ah Ma's favorite, in line to inherit everything.
No surprise there when that's the competition.
Oh, speaking of the grande dame...
There you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
You ready to meet my grandmother?
Ah Ma.
Look, they're in full bloom.
It's so nice having Nick back home.
But he seems different.
When children are away from home too long,
they forget who they are.
What's up? Let's jam!
Rachel! So happy you're here. Oh!
Oh, my God. Your Gap look, brilliant.
Thanks.
- She's coming with me. - Uh, hold on.
Kiss. 36 hours. Bye.
- Minty, one piece please. - Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Not listening at all.
So, I'm gonna intro you to my posse.
We're flying to my mom's resort in Sumatra.
She's closed down the whole place just for us.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Come on, meet the girls. Girls, this is Rachel Chu.
Hi!
So you let Bernard Tai organize all of this?
Yeah.
Bernard.
Hey.
This is for you, asshole.
Tina! Tini! The twins are in the house!
I'm so glad you made it! How are you?
It's easy to make a killer entrance
when you come as a matching set.
Hi, we haven't met. I'm Amanda Ling.
Hi, I'm Rachel Chu.
Oh, you're Nick Young's friend.
- Yeah. - Word gets around fast here.
You're a professor at NYU, right?
Yes. Um, what about you?
Oh, I'm a lawyer. General counsel
to the Young Family Corporation, actually.
That's very impressive.
Mmm. Nah. Just good, old-fashioned nepotism.
I grew up with Nick and Colin. We're family friends.
It's nice to meet you, Rachel Chu.
Ladies, come on. We're wheels up in five.
Let's do this?
Let's go.
Yeah!
All I wanted was a weekend away with my boys.
And some beer. Maybe some rugby.
Don't worry. It's gonna be great, whatever happens.
Yeah.
Let's make some babies!
I don't think it will be.
Any asshole can plan a normal stag party.
Hookers, drugs, dog-fighting.
That's minor league shit.
To organize a party this massive...
Takes a massive asshole.
...takes a goddamn mastermind.
Where exactly is this party?
It's right there.
Bloody hell!
Did you just see that?
Oh, my God, Nick. What are you worried about?
You don't have to keep Rachel happy.
She's just lucky to be here.
Nice, Eddie.
Oh, what?
So we're gonna pretend like that's not the truth?
Are we in some kind of fairy tale story
that I don't know about?
Did you find a shoe at midnight
and jump in a pumpkin?
Yo, I got so much shit about marrying Fiona,
and her parents own
the biggest shipping company in Hong Kong.
Hey, Araminta's adorable, but you think your dad
would be spending millions on this wedding
if her parents didn't own a billion-dollar resort chain?
What's Rachel bringing to the table?
Oh! Small tits!
Hey. It's not worth it, man. They're drunk.
Hey, guys, this is boring. Massage time.
And you, the bachelor,
you're gonna get one before this weekend is over.
Or we're gonna tie you up and shave your coo coo chara.
Coo coo chara!
Hey, come try this.
We have to get off this ship.
Welcome to paradise.
This is Samsara Island.
This weekend is about sisterhood
and connecting with the divine in all of us.
So, I hope you'll all find your bliss,
starting with an all-paid shopping spree
at the fashion boutique!
Come on! Come on!
Bitch, I saw this first!
But you have ping pong tits!
What about your mosquito bites?
- No! - You know it's true!
One more minute! You keep what you can carry.
Yeah, no one loves free stuff more than rich people.
Just the one dress for you?
I don't wanna lose an arm.
Ooh. Well, in that case,
one last touch.
Well, isn't Nick a lucky guy.
Time's up!
Next stop... Spa!
You're a genius. You know that, right?
What's a best man for?
Guess that pilot's license came in handy after all.
Here you go, champ.
Oh, thank you, sir.
Mmm. I think that is the best beer I've ever had.
I'm gonna have to agree with you on that.
You know, if it wasn't for Araminta, I'd ask you to marry me.
Although,
there is a little something that might get in the way of that.
- No! - Yeah.
- Is that real? - Yes.
- Wow! Yes! - Yes.
Yes, man! Congratulations!
- I know. - That is freaking amazing.
- I'm ready. - You're ready.
You're doing it.
Nick, I'm really happy for you, man.
Thanks, dude.
I think my masseuse just got me pregnant.
I can see why Nick put off coming back to Singapore.
What do you mean?
You know, he was supposed to come back last year,
take over the family business.
His parents freaked out when he didn't.
But, now that he's back, I'm sure all is forgiven.
But he's not back for good.
I mean, we're just here for a wedding.
Wow!
But?
No, I'm really happy for you.
Colin, I've known you since you were in nappies.
I know when there's something on your mind.
Well, it wasn't that long ago
that you were sure you were moving back home.
And I mean, Rachel loves her job in New York.
Yeah, we're gonna figure that out.
You're going to figure it out. Right.
Rachel, I get it.
It's hard knowing where you stand with someone like Nicholas Young.
He has all that pressure from his family.
Not just in business, but in who he's dating.
It's like, you just never know
what's quite going on in that gorgeous head of his.
Nick told you that we were together, right?
It's ancient history now.
Although our families, particularly his mother,
always wanted us to get married.
I guess we weren't ready then.
Dude, ever since primary school,
you were always going to be
the next chairman of the Young Corporation,
your family's shining heir.
You really think your family's going to accept anything less than that?
I mean, unless you...
No.
Are you thinking of walking out?
Leaving everything to bloody Alistair and Eddie?
I'm not walking out on anything.
I met a girl, I fell in love and I want to marry her.
And it can't just be one thing or the other.
Uh... No, no, no.
It's not that simple. You know that.
I really admire you.
It takes guts coming all the way over here,
facing Nick's family.
Especially when Eleanor isn't exactly in your corner.
Okay, your family aside, have you ever thought about
what your relationship with Rachel
will be like if you got married?
I mean, okay,
you're Nicholas Young. You're untouchable.
You always have been. But Rachel's not.
And if she becomes Mrs. Nicholas Young,
every day for her is going to be a struggle.
I heard she told Tini that Nick is a good catch.
So typical. She's not even that pretty.
It's like she's never heard of plastic surgery.
Oh, shit.
Sorry.
You sure she's ready for that?
Rachel?
- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.
Let's just forget about those girls.
Camp out here and order room service?
I'll call security.
No.
I'm not gonna make a scene.
I'm not gonna give them the satisfaction.
This weekend was supposed to be mani-pedis,
cocktails served in pineapples.
This definitely wasn't on the menu.
Why would Araminta even have friends like that?
They're so mean.
Well, you grow up your whole lives together,
you make excuses for people.
Specially the morons.
I mean, I know Michael didn't have to deal with catty,
fish-killing sociopaths.
How did you two get through all this?
Well, I didn't have it quite as bad, but it wasn't pretty.
Well, at least tell me it gets better.
Of course it does.
You okay?
Yeah.
Actually... No.
You could talk to me.
Michael is having an affair.
I'm really sorry, Astrid.
I thought I was here to meet your family,
go to your best friend's wedding, eat some good food.
Instead, I feel like I'm a villain in a soap opera
who's plotting to steal your family fortune.
What happened?
I mean, I met Amanda.
She told me that everyone here thinks
that I'm the evil person
that prevented you from moving back to Singapore last year,
when I didn't even know you were supposed to come home.
You have every reason to be upset.
I'm not done yet.
There was also this gutted, bloody fish
that Araminta's friends left for me in my hotel room
on my bed next to the words,
"Catch this, you gold-digging bitch."
Written in big, fat serial-killer letters.
Is that all that happened?
I mean, please tell me that's all that happened.
You know what? I don't even care about those stupid girls
with their stupid little designer handbags
and sunglasses. I don't care about that.
I don't care that your ex-girlfriend told me all this crap.
It's that you didn't tell me any of it.
I screwed up.
Why? Were you trying to test me?
I really messed up, okay?
- Why would you do that? - I made a mistake.
When we first met, you had no idea who I was,
who my family were. You didn't care!
Yeah, I don't care about that stupid stuff.
Well, exactly.
You are so different from all of the women that I grew up with.
And I love who I am around you.
I don't want that to change.
And that's selfish, I know.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with that on your own.
But I'm here now.
Whatever happens, we'll get through it together.
Dead fish and all.
All right?
It was so gross.
But I buried it.
You dealt with it.
Come here.
You know what? We need to do something tonight.
We need to do something that's just you and me, okay?
- 100% agree. - Yes.
But we do have to go make some dumplings first.
Okay?
And can we eat them?
We can eat as many as you like.
Okay, fine.
This is too much.
We're hosting a rehearsal dinner,
not feeding an army.
Better too many than have people say we're stingy.
So, right.
You put the baby in bed.
You tuck, tuck, tuck. Same on the other side.
You give him a kiss good night.
That's so cute.
- How's that? - And then you eat the baby.
Then you eat the baby after he's cooked.
No, you gotta make sure he's cooked.
Did your Ah Ma teach you that?
She did.
I, on the other hand,
was taught by Grand-Auntie Mabel.
You put the Botox in the face,
and then you pinch, pinch, pinch.
Then, voila!
Did you guys all learn when you were kids?
We didn't have a choice.
We taught you so you'd know
the blood, sweat, and tears it took
to raise and feed you monkeys.
Not like the ang-mohs
microwaving macaroni and cheese
for their own children.
No wonder they put their parents
in the old folks' home when they all grow up.
I know!
Ah Ma says if we don't pass traditions down like this,
they'll disappear.
God forbid, we lose the ancient Chinese tradition
of guilting your children.
It's totally worth it.
Mother used to wait for me after school
with a nice basket of these.
Hey, I never got after-school dumplings.
Well, that's because Auntie Felicity
was doing after-school microdermabrasion.
Auntie, this is Dolce.
You speak Cantonese?
No, I don't.
It's just great seeing you guys all like this.
When I was growing up,
it was just me and my mom, which I loved.
But we didn't really have a big family like this.
It's really nice.
Oh, that's so lovely of you to say, Rachel.
We are all very lucky to have each other.
That's a beautiful ring, Auntie Eleanor.
I've never seen anything like it.
Nick's father had it made when he proposed to me.
That's very romantic. How did you guys meet?
Actually, they met at Cambridge.
They were both studying law together.
Oh, I didn't know you were a lawyer.
I wasn't. I withdrew from university when we got married.
I chose to help my husband run a business
and to raise a family.
For me, it was a privilege.
But for you, you may think it's old-fashioned.
It's nice you appreciate this house
and us being here together wrapping dumplings.
But all this doesn't just happen.
It's because we know to put family first,
instead of chasing one's passion.
Ah Ma.
Thank you.
Oh, Nick.
Come and sit.
Oh, hi. I think I'm a little lost.
This house is pretty big.
I'm glad I found you.
I am afraid that I've been unfair.
Oh, no, you know what?
I'm sorry I made an assumption.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Not at all.
You asked about my ring.
The truth is Nick's father had it made
when he wanted to propose to me
because Ah Ma wouldn't give him the family ring.
I wasn't her first choice.
Honestly, I wasn't her second.
Gosh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
I didn't come from the right family,
have the right connections.
And Ah Ma thought I would not make an adequate wife to her son.
But she came around, obviously.
It took many years,
and she had good reason to be concerned.
Because I had no idea the work and the sacrifice it would take.
There were many days when I wondered
if I would ever measure up.
But having been through it all,
I know this much.
You will never be enough.
We should head back. I wouldn't want Nick to worry.
You all right?
Yeah.
I know my mum can be tough at times,
but there isn't anything she wouldn't do for me.
And there is a reason why I lived with Ah Ma growing up.
It's because my mother knew she wasn't the favorite.
So she let her raise me, so I would be.
You were just a kid?
Yeah.
But it's hard to understand from the outside.
But she did what she thought was best for the family.
For everyone involved.
Anyway, I think I've had enough with dumplings
for the rest of my life.
What should we do?
Sushi, movies, anything you like. Really.
Wait, what?
Was she like, "You will never be good enough for my son"?
Or was it like, "You...
"You will never be good enough for my son"?
It's like the second one.
Except for in a way that made me wanna cry
and puke at the same time.
Gosh, she's so badass.
You know, I bet if you told her you'd leave Nick for a million dollars,
she will write that check. They do that around here.
And she looked at me like I was nothing.
Like a $10 million check.
I feel like she would do that.
I don't even know what I should do.
I mean, I can't even tell Nick because he worships her.
Yeah, Chinese sons think their moms
fart Chanel No. 5.
What about the Ah Ma? Does she hate your face, too?
Okay, nobody said they hated my face.
And Ah Ma, she liked my face. She said I had a lucky nose.
That's great!
You know, Eleanor can hate you all day long,
but you can't beat 2,000 years of Chinese filial piety.
I feel like I shouldn't even go to the wedding.
You know, it's Colin and Araminta's day.
I don't wanna cause any drama there.
I feel like I should just sit it out.
You know? Tell Nick I had food poisoning or something.
- What? - That's bullshit.
- You're just scared. - No, I'm not.
Okay, here's what you need to understand. All right?
It's not about getting Eleanor to like you.
It's about getting her to respect you, all right?
Right now, she just thinks you're some undeserving,
- clueless, gold-digging... - Yeah, I got it.
...trashy, unrefined banana.
Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.
I know what a banana is.
When, in reality, you're a super sophisticated, smart
professor of freaking game theory.
Show her that side of you, you know?
You're right.
Damn straight, I'm right.
It's Peik Lin, I'm always right.
Yeah, she's like trying to play a game of chicken with me.
Where she's like coming at me, and thinking
I'm going to swerve like a chicken.
But you can't swerve.
I'm not gonna swerve. Not for her.
No. Chickens are bitches, dude!
- And I'm not a chicken. - You're not a chicken.
You're gonna roll up to that wedding,
you're gonna be like, "Bak-bak, bitch!"
Bak-bak, bitch!
Chickens are bitches.
Sorry, Uncle.
What are you doing tonight?
I was gonna go to FedEx or something.
Why?
I have been waiting to do this properly for so long.
I'm thinking eyebrow triage, root crimps,
maybe some eyelid tape.
What do you think?
Ugh. All of it.
And I would throw in a Korean snail face mask.
Sweetie, your skin is so dry, it's hurting my face.
Thank you.
You know, it's about time someone stood up to Auntie Eleanor.
Well, you, not me. Oh, God!
She can't know I was ever here.
Oh, no.
Right. Well, okay, let's get to work. Cappuccinos.
Pull the plum Balenciaga, the peach Chloe,
the Giambattista, all the Bottegas.
Oh, and that Jason Wu with the deconstructed ruffles.
And a sandwich for Peik Lin.
- Oh! Okay. All right. - Oh. Right.
I'm not sure if it's working
or if she looks like a clown's tampon.
On a heavy day.
You look like a flower.
A sad, lonely flower no one wants to be around.
I mean, it's the wedding of the century.
So, of course, we're here. It's the natural...
It's not that bad.
It's holding you up.
It's a hands-on dress. You know what I mean?
Incoming.
Okay.
I love my fans.
Taipei Tiger 2 is going to redefine the genre.
- She's a star. She's a star. - TT2, honey.
I'm blinded by the light.
This is why disco died.
You kind of look like a slutty Ebola virus.
It's like a bag of Skittles. Taste the rainbow.
Could work if we...
Yes. I think we just ought to...
I just think if we could tell her this is coming from you
'cause she probably doesn't want to hear it from a guy.
Okay. Okay.
Okay, remember. Optimal angles.
Just right here! Just right here!
Ma'am.
Everyone, I've got Rachel Chu of New York.
Rachel! Rachel! To me!
Okay, ladies, looking good.
Out of the way, please. Out of the way.
- So gorgeous! - Thank you.
Ladies, move, please. Out of the way!
Good, that's great. Beautiful dress.
Ladies.
Amanda.
You're in my way.
Okay, what?
Our Chinese investors are getting nervous.
I have to fly in to Shenzhen on Monday
to try and talk them down.
That's Cassian's birthday.
Yeah, I know.
I hate to miss it, but this is important.
You'd think your son's birthday's important.
Get someone else to handle it.
Unless there's another reason you're out of town?
What are you saying?
I know you're having an affair.
Oh, Jesus. Astrid.
Let's just get through the wedding, and we'll deal with it after.
I don't wanna make a scene.
You find out I'm having an affair with another woman,
and you're worried about making a scene?
You'd rather I scream and carry on?
Yes. Honestly, I wish you would.
It would show you cared about more than what people thought
of you and your family.
Don't try and turn this on me.
I'm not the one who screwed up!
Of course not.
You're always the prettiest,
richest, most perfect girl in the room.
While I'm just this lucky bastard who will never measure up.
Don't say that.
I know what you're thinking, Astrid.
That's why you hide your shoes,
the jewelry you buy,
as if every minute of my life I'm not reminded of it.
I'm just tired.
I'm tired of having nothing I do matter.
Including having the affair.
Of course what you do matters!
How can you say that?
Is this a church or a paddy field?
They spent 40 million on the wedding.
Really? That's too much.
We're Methodists. 20 million is our limit.
I know.
Princess Intan. Vicious woman.
I heard she demanded a whole row to herself,
so she wouldn't be bothered by anyone.
Really?
Who is that?
Aunties.
Rachel, how lovely to see you.
The pleasure is all mine.
I'm sorry, our row is full.
I love it.
Bak-bak. Okay.
Princess Intan. Rachel Chu.
I read your great article about microloans
in the Asian Economics Journal.
I received so much criticism about that article.
Well, you know what? I think your critics missed the point.
'Cause your microloans helped women,
and women lift up economies.
What was your name, again?
Rachel Chu.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Now, what brings you here?
I followed a boy...
Ah Ma is here.
She never comes to these things.
How are you feeling?
- Good. - All right. Don't be nervous.
- I'm not nervous. - You look great.
Thank you.
Hey, Rachel's not sitting with your family.
Yeah. I don't blame her.
Mother hasn't exactly been the most welcoming.
But I'm sure she'll be at the back somewhere laying low.
No. She's right at the front. Take a look.
I think you've got a fighter.
Guys, it's time.
- Okay. - All right.
- Hey. - Yeah?
Make sure she doesn't take your balls.
Just joking. Just joking.
Thanks for dressing up, Bernard.
Hey. It's not about me.
Yeah. Come on. Thanks, Bernard.
- It's not about me. - All right.
You look spectacular, you know that?
It's the double Spanx. I can't breathe.
It's not the clothes. It's just you.
Uh, excuse me.
This party isn't gonna dance itself. Come on.
- Come on, Nicki-Nick. - All right.
You're very good.
- Yeah? I only stepped on her twice. - Very.
Oliver.
Yes, Auntie?
Be a dear and take care of that.
As you wish.
You know, you should wear a tux more often.
Like, all the time?
Mmm, yeah.
You know, when you're playing basketball at the Y,
shaving, brushing your teeth.
Alistair, your father's looking for you.
Something about an overdrawn discretionary account.
Oh, my God.
Baby! Oh, my gosh!
Oh. Hi.
So, how do you like the wedding?
Oh, my gosh! It's so glamorous!
When it's Alistair's and my wedding,
I want it just like this.
No, no, no! I want it big! Big! Better!
Sweetie!
You'll be lucky if Alistair's parents give you a tea ceremony.
You know Alistair's only the fourth son
of a penny-pinching family, don't you?
I mean, he'll get next to nothing.
You want a wedding like this?
You should've fallen in love with an only child.
Someone like...
Bernard Tai.
Master Nicholas,
your grandmother would like to speak to you and Miss Rachel.
Okay.
Sick party.
Yeah!
Hold that.
Ah Ma, Mum,
what's all this about?
- Ah Ma! - I'm sorry to tell you,
but Rachel has been lying to us about her family
and her mother.
What are... What are you talking about?
I hired a private investigator...
- Mom, you didn't. - ...to look into her past.
She said her father passed away in China...
Mum!
...but that's not true.
Your mother's husband is very much alive.
During her marriage, she cheated on him
and became pregnant with another man's child.
And before he found out, she ran away to America.
- It's all in here. - You had no right!
- We had every right! - You did not!
You're lying!
Do you have any idea the scandal this would have caused
for Rachel to hide something like this?
She wouldn't have.
We cannot be linked to this sort of family.
I don't want any part of your family.
Rachel.
Let me go! Rachel.
Nick!
Hey, Cinderella. What's wrong?
You gotta return your dress before midnight?
- Nicki-Nick! - Oh, you're just in time.
Oliver.
- Oh, Nicki, have you... - Rachel. Have you seen Rachel?
Nicholas! Hi!
- It's been so long. - Yes.
Amanda, no. Amanda, not now!
Rachel. Come to breakfast.
You need to eat.
Or use the bathroom, or maybe a shower.
It's there if you need it.
Here, Rachel. This is your dinner.
Thank you.
I'll stop by again tonight.
Rachel, please, just give me a call.
Anytime.
Please.
Rachel, someone's here to see ya.
I don't want to see him.
It's not Nick.
Mom!
Drink more.
The dong-quai and the ginseng will give you more energy.
Thanks.
Your spirit has always been so strong,
ever since young.
You will get through this.
Why didn't you tell me about my father?
My husband wasn't a good man.
He hurt me.
But an old schoolmate of mine helped me through things,
and we fell in love,
and I got pregnant with his baby.
That's you.
I was so afraid my husband would find out
and kill us both,
so I just took you and I ran to America.
Did you ever...
I don't know, think about trying to talk to him?
I mean, do you think about him?
Every day.
When we first came to America,
all I could think about was reaching out for him,
but I was so afraid my husband would find us.
And now, I just don't want to cause any trouble.
I'm really sorry.
Oh! Don't be sorry.
You listen to me.
Everything that happened in my past life
is the reason why I got you.
My brave and clever girl.
I really thought he was the one.
Now, I just want to go home.
You know, Nick was the one who called me
and brought me out here.
Before we go, I think you should go and talk to him.
I'll e-mail the photo later.
P.T., how long you been standing there?
Just a short while.
I'm so sorry about everything.
What my mother did to you is unforgivable.
- It's not your fault. - It is.
Ever since I can remember,
my family has been my whole life.
And I am done making excuses for them.
Nick.
Marry me.
Marry me, and we'll start
a new life together in New York.
Just you and me. I'll leave all of this behind.
Thanks for meeting me here.
Don't worry about them.
They're half deaf and they only speak Hokkien.
My mom taught me how to play.
She told me Mahjong would teach me
important life skills.
Negotiation, strategy, cooperation.
You asked me here. I assume it's not for a Mahjong lesson.
Pong.
My mother taught me, too.
I know Nick told you the truth about my mom.
But you didn't like me the second I got here.
Why is that?
There is a Hokkien phrase.
It means, "Our own kind of people."
And you're not our own kind.
'Cause I'm not rich?
'Cause I didn't go to a British boarding school,
or I wasn't born into a wealthy family?
You're a foreigner. American.
And all Americans think about is their own happiness.
Don't you want Nick to be happy?
It's an illusion.
We understand how to build things that last.
Something you know nothing about.
You don't know me.
I know you're not what Nick needs.
Well, he proposed to me yesterday.
He said he'd walk away from his family
and from you for good.
Don't worry. I turned him down.
Only a fool folds a winning hand.
There's no winning. You made sure of that.
Because if Nick chose me, he would lose his family.
And if he chose his family,
he might spend the rest of his life resenting you.
So you chose for him.
I'm not leaving 'cause I'm scared
or because I think I'm not enough.
Because maybe for the first time in my life,
I know I am.
I just love Nick so much.
I don't want him to lose his mom again.
So I just wanted you to know that one day,
when he marries another lucky girl
who is enough for you,
and you're playing with your grandkids
while the tan huas are blooming and the birds are chirping,
that it was because of me.
A poor, raised by a single mother,
low class, immigrant nobody.
Hey.
I'm gonna send someone for the rest of my stuff.
But I wanna talk to you about my visitation rights with Cassian.
Stop talking.
What?
Don't worry about packing your things.
You bought this apartment, you keep it. We're leaving.
What do you mean you're leaving?
Where are you gonna go?
I have 14 apartment buildings that I own,
so probably one of those.
And you'll see Cassian when it's good for him,
not when it's good for you.
Hey!
Look, you know, it's not just my fault that things didn't work out.
You're right. I shouldn't have kept things from you.
Hidden my shoes, turned down jobs,
charity work, worrying that it might make you feel lesser than.
But let's be clear.
The problem with our marriage isn't my family's money.
It's that you're a coward. You gave up on us.
But I've just realized,
it's not my job to make you feel like a man.
I can't make you something you're not.
Good for you!
Walking away from Nick
and his family's fat-ass property portfolio.
You have no one, no net worth,
but you have integrity. That's why I respect you.
Thank you for everything.
- Bye, Mrs. Chu. - Goodbye and thank you.
Sure I can't get you to stay?
You know, my brother P.T., he's still single.
All right.
Rachel!
Rachel! Stay there.
I'm gonna go and look for some extra blankets.
Hello.
Sorry, just one second. Nick, what are you doing here?
I'm flying back to New York with you.
God, don't make this harder than it already is.
I always imagined what me proposing to you would be like.
You know what? I had it all planned out.
I'm right behind you. Don't mind me.
I'd bring you to my favorite spot on the island.
There's a hidden trail that I used to go to as a child.
Now there's a cove there that opens up to this beautiful lake.
Um... Sorry, dude.
Give me a second.
When the sun hits the horizon, I'd get down on one knee.
And the rest of the world would fall away.
Because it would just be you...
Because it's just you...
Sorry, I can help you with that.
All right, it's fine. Stay there.
Yay. You, too? Watch your fingers.
- Lift it up. Okay. - Thank you.
Everybody okay?
Because I just need 30 seconds with this woman.
Okay, thank you.
Oh. Coming through. Sorry.
I know this is a far throw from a hidden paradise.
But wherever you are in the world,
that's where I belong.
But I...
Rachel Chu,
will you marry me?
And make me the happiest man in this world?
Yes! Yes! Yes! She will marry you!
Yes!
- I love you. - I love you, too.
This is gonna be some flight back to New York.
Well, I was actually thinking about staying one more night.
It's all about you, Nick!
Make babies! Make babies!
