Since we're destined that we can't develop a romantic relationship
we must face the reality
You've taught me not to submit to the traditional feudal ethical code
You've glorified open-mindedness and bold renovations
I'm adamant that being a woman is better
Getting married? Only a moron will get married
Remember, it's great if you can meet someone you're keen on
You must cherish such an opportunity
Don't back off easily no matter what happens
Love can help you solve every problem
Principal, where's that Indian student? I really need him urgently to save my life
He dropped out of school last month, worse luck!
Oh, dear! Where can I find somebody who can speak Punjabi?
I'll pick it up on my way home. Bye-bye
How do you do?
I'm But Ha-kau the owner of an advertising company
OK?
I'll have a business appointment with an Indian customer in a hotel
My secretary is supposed to serve as the interpreter there
But she twisted her ankle this morning and she's staying in hospital now
Since you speak Punjabi so well
I'd like you to do me a favor and act as the interpreter in the meeting
Why don't you wait until your secretary recovers?
That Indian customer will leave tomorrow
If you refuse to help me I'll be unable to make a deal with him
Well...
Do him a favor. Henry isn't a bad guy
He's my old schoolmate and good friend
He's absolutely trustworthy
I really need your help
Just this time? I won't trouble you again
OK, I'll help you because of the Principal
I really appreciate that. We must hurry
Shall we go?
Right, go with him now
Jenny, the customer is waiting for us in his room
I don't understand why we should meet him in his room?
He's a jeweler and an important customer
Our company is helping him to promote his products
He's brought with him many jewels for an exhibition here
It's not safe for him to go to other places
I see. Sorry. You know Hong Kong is a bizarre and motley place
I must be inquisitive sometimes
Sure. As a girl, it's right to be prudent
Let's go
This way, please
After you've handled the bags for the customers
you must get the tip before you leave
She looks familiar?
She's Yan's wife
Why does she enter the Indian's room?
I need the photocopies urgently
Hurry up
Lin Yes?
Come over here
Look at these documents They're written in English
That means they're important documents
I need their photocopies urgently
Nice girl
Lin... I need your help too OK
Thank you
Lin... Yes?
I must give them to the boss urgently
Would you help me photocopy them? Sure
Help me carry them Sure
They're lechers
Exactly!
Yan, I'm grateful to you for suggesting such a brilliant trick
Look, everybody is joyous
It's natural for a man to be carried away when he sees a beauty
But one must be a bit more discerning
She's the right one Our cup of tea!
Lin Yes? Come over, please
Excuse me, I've to answer a call first
I'll talk to you again later
Ho Gig Company Ltd.
Bad news! The stock market is like riding a roller coaster
People are selling their stocks in panic The market has plummeted almost 1000 points
What?
How come?
You said it'd be a bull market?
Close out all the stocks
Don't leave your place I'll come over right away
Bro Yan, take over my work, please
I've told you to stop it Nobody listens to my advice
Ho Gig Company Ltd.
Yan, disaster! Disaster!
Don't panic! I know it already There's a global crash of the stock market
I haven't bought any stocks
No, I saw your wife in my hotel
She and a guy want into a room of an Indian man
What? What did you say?
Come over before it's too late
OK, I'll take a taxi right off
What's up, Yan? You're also hard hit by the crash?
Why did it take you so long to come here?
Are you sure you haven't been mistaken about anything?
I'm absolutely sure
I saw your wife and a guy going into a room of an Indian man
Your hotel is really lousy How come the lift is so slow?
Why did he say?
He likes your plan in general
but he hopes you can fix a small problem
OK, what's the problem?
He thinks advertising in the Brands and Products Expo isn't good enough
He hopes to include an element of mobility
For example, he'd like to see people wearing his jewelry everywhere
so everyone in Hong Kong will know his products
It requires a lot of manpower and resources
It's not quite possible
What should I do this time?
Is it a way of increasing mobility
if you advertise it on buses running different routes?
Right, it's a brilliant suggestion
He'll like it
Would you help me translate it for him?
Let's go
Cheers! I look forward to our cooperation!
It's a pity if there isn't any roast goose leg to go with such superb wine
He's got a complaint?
He thinks it's a pity if there isn't any roast goose leg to go with such superb wine
It's simple. Tell him I'll go and buy it in a famous restaurant downstairs
I'll be back very soon
Mr. But...
We've arrived?
Ho, cool it! Follow me
Apart from curry do you know what India is famous for?
Is it yoga?
Would you like to learn it?
No, I can't do it
We've arrived
No, I don't know how to do it
Be more gentle Hurry up
It hurts! No...
It's too late! You're a lecher You've assaulted my wife indecently?
Stop it! You've mistaken about it
He's a decent businessman He just tried to teach me yoga
who're you? Why are you here?
You're cross with me You've been pulling a long face
OK, it's all my fault You haven't done anything wrong
You're really too rude. You beat him up before asking me what had really happened
You almost mined Mr. Burs business deal
You've no idea why I hit him It was the most noble expression of love
There's a speck of rudeness in the most tender expression of love
You should try to think in my shoes
If you were me and you saw your wife going into a hotel room with an unknown guy
what would you do?
You'd worry that your wife might be abducted by somebody
I'd got 3 meetings and 4 appointments
I had to prepare 5 business proposals too
Why did I stop doing all my work?
I tried to save you
In retrospect, I should take the blame
You've lots of important things to do I've wasted lots of your precious time
I... I won't let it happen next time
What? Next time? I'm really cross with you
Don't get me wrong I won't help anybody again
Don't be so angry, please
What will you cook tonight?
I've planned to cook curry
Curry!
You must hate me very much I'm foaming with anger this time
No, I won't cook it I won't cook curry again
Discard it right off
Its presence irritates me
OK, OK
My father was a male chauvinist
His trick of accusing others first always worked well on my mother
One was a sadomasochist while the other was a masochist
But dad was nice to mom sometimes
You said you'd give me a pleasant surprise
Why do you ask me to come here?
I'll give you the pleasant surprise here
Do you like it? It's registered in your name
Really?
But I haven't a driving license What's the point of having a can?
I'll be your driver. I'll drive you whenever you'd like to take a ride
Most importantly, it saves your time of traveling to work
You can sleep more in future
Thank you
I guess I deserve a big gift?
How come Yan isn't here yet?
Do you think your trick will work?
Don't worry. If he knows we're going to commit suicide
he won't step aside and watch us die
But we need a lot of money?
You must show him you'd really like to die
Come on, don't stand too close to the edge
Don't take any risk before he arrives
Kwong... Kwong...
Let's get ready
What're you doing? Let's talk
Get down first Don't come any closer
I'll jump if you come any closer
No, don't do stupid things
You don't understand our problems
In any case, we must die this time
Goodbye
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Be a proud loser Don't let others look down upon us
Don't shed any tears
Honey, I'll give you a push
then I'll follow you
We'll stage a comeback 18 years later
Come on...
Hold me tight! Help!
Hold me tight!
Hold me tight! Help!
Be careful
Come back! Hurry up!
Are you all right? I'm scared
Are you all right?
Kwong, you'd really like to die?
My stock speculation is a fiasco
I'll die anyway
The loan sharks will chop me to death
We're brothers. You should talk to me
You needn't take your own life
I'll help you pay off your debts
Don't pretend you'll jump down from the building again
Your acting was really poor
Don't do this again
You had really a close shave Right
I was almost scared to death
It's great the loan sharks won't chase after us anymore
It's almost ready It smells very good
We've a sumptuous dinner We've got stir-fried snake cubes
stir-fried silkworm cocoon and baked fish hinged jaws
There're steamed cured duck chins and water snake thick soup too
You haven't cooked me a Shunde cuisine for a long time already
I'm really lucky today
Really? Eat more if you like it
Come on, eat more
Thanks
It's unlikely I'll cook for you again
It's yummy
Why are you crying?
It turned sour
No, the soup is tasty
I'm not talking about the soup
I mean the stocks of the Stock Exchange
How come? I'd told you the stock market would collapse soon
I'd told you not to invest too much
You told me you were sensible
I didn't invest all my money
I just used up all the money
my female friends of the credit union had entrusted to me
It's even worse. What will you do now'?
In a few days' time
another female friend will take turn and become the head of our credit union
I've to hand over the money to my successor
I really don't know what I should do
Don't cry anymore
I can't think when you're crying
There must be a solution
You needn't worry about me
I asked you to come here so I could cook you a nice dinner
After the dinner is over
I'll turn myself in
Free meals will be provided in prison
I won't let you go to jail
Come on, there's nothing you can do
I've spent almost my whole life cooking meals for others
I seldom get a chance of eating meals cooked by others
I needn't work anymore
Isn't it wonderful?
No way! You'd served my family since grandma's time
You'd brought me up. We're like family
I can't step aside and watch you go to jail
Trust me, I'll help you find a solution
Promise me you won't do anything stupid
Honey...
I'd like to have a word with you
What's up?
Well, godmother has...
Honey... why did you pawn your watch?
I couldn't get enough money to pay off Kwong's debts
I pawned the watch because I seldom wear it
He's owed others a lot of money?
As I've said before, he was over-ambitious
I've been paying my car mortgage
I haven't got too much spare money to help him
I pawned the watch because he's my brother
He's the first and last one I'll help
I don't pity those who borrow to gamble
Why should you help them? They just take your money to invest
When they win they won't share their profits with you
But when they lose they'll come and look for you again
We can't help these people We must let them learn a lesson
By the way... Yes?
There's something about your godmother?
She asked whether we'd like to eat a vegetarian meal with her
It seems everyone must lead a frugal life
Under the circumstances everyone is being tied up by the slump
It's unlikely one can eat a sumptuous meal
Go to bed after you've finished your work
Sorry, Mrs. Tai. The bank can't consider your loan application
You need to provide a pledge or proof of salary
Come on, if I've a pledge or income I don't need to borrow from the bank
I wonder whether they can be more flexible
They're... really insensitive
I wish I had a job I hate asking my husband to give me money
But Lap-yan is unwilling to let me work
I hate being turned away now
Where can I get the money now?
Jenny, what a surprise?
Hallo, Mr. But
You'd helped me make a deal last time and I haven't thanked you for that yet
Would you let me offer you a meal?
Don't bother about it
I'm really sincere
Apart from treating you to a meal I'd like to offer you a job in my company
I wonder if you're interested or not
Of course she's interested
My goddaughter always complains that staying at home is boring
In that case, let's sit down and chat, OK?
Let's go This way, please
You'd like me to work as a secretary in your company?
Yes, you're multilingual and smart
We really need to hire somebody like you
I thought you had a secretary Her leg still hasn't recovered yet?
She's passed away already
What?
Human being is really fragile Bacteria infection had affected her brain
The hospital is still waiting for her autopsy report
Really?
If you work for us
I'll pay you $400 a month
Mr. But...
If that's not what you expect, $500?
No... If you're still not happy, $600?
I really... $700, that's my last offer
Mr. But, I appreciate that but I really can't work for you
He's really sincere
You shouldn't refuse him godmother...
You can't find a boss better than him
Excuse me, Mr. But I'll talk to her for one second. Come here
You said you'd like to help me pay off my debts?
You said you'd like to find a job?
Yes, but Lap-yan will not agree
Keep him in the dark
How can I do it? We'll go to work and go home at the same time
Well... l know what to do
Sorry, Mr. But It's-OK
For personal reasons
Jenny has to start her work at 10 a.m. and leave the office at 4 p.m.
Is there a problem?
Well... It's OK. My biggest worry is those married female staff
It's troublesome when they get pregnant
By the way, are you married? My company won't hire married female staff
Jenny is still so young She won't get married so soon
She hasn't married yet
I'm still single
It's really great! When are you available?
The sooner the better
It's really great!
The food has become cold. Let's eat first
OK, OK
Help yourselves Sure
I'm leaving for work
Come home earlier
Sure. Bye-bye
Bye-We
Godmother... I'm glad you're punctual
My timing is perfect I won't come before Lap-yan leaves
I don't want to run into him
The key is here There's some money for you to buy the food
You'll help me clean the dishes and iron the laundry
OK, OK. Go to work now I'll handle the household chores here
I'll be back by 4:30. I'm off now
Bye-bye Bye-bye
I've left the document at home!
Sing, I must hurry to work My husband doesn't know about it
You must help me keep this secret
OK Bye
Oh, my shoelace is undone
Wai-chun
Wai-chun, Wai-chun
Wai-chun...
Are you OK, Mr. Tai?
I'm fine. Wai-chun...
Who are you shouting at?
My wife. She's just walked away
She isn't your wife
She's Ms Chan, our new neighbor
She isn't my wife No
Well, you don't go to work today?
I've left a document at home. I must hurry
OK, OK
Hallo. What? Lap-yan is coming back?
OK, OK. Thanks
My goodness! Where can I hide myself?
Wai-chun, I've left a document at home
Where're you?
Wai-chun
Wai-chun, Wai-chun
Wai-chun
I thought you'd woken up already How come you're sleeping again?
You must've caught a cold last night I'd better go and see a doctor with you
No... I'm fine
In that case, get some rest, OK?
You should see a doctor if you're still unwell after getting up
I must go back to office now
Don't cover your head. You can't breathe
Excuse me, I'd like to look for Mr. But
What? You've recovered?
Yes, can I return to work today?
It'll be my first day of work here
You needn't come back today, tomorrow and forever
You can keep on resting in future
For the salary in arrears I'll send you a check by mail. Bye
Follow me Thanks
Hallo, Ms Pak
Sorry, Mr. But. I was late. I had a small accident when I left home this morning
It's OK. My biggest concern is having a good secretary
Everybody, come over, please
Let me introduce her to you She's Jenny, our new secretary
She's versatile and multilingual
Taikaho! Dajiahao! Saliaga! Konnichiwa! How are you?
Brilliant! A Japanese? Awesome!
She knows English She's probably an American born Chinese
I'm a talkative person so I've learned many languages
This is my first job I need your guidance and advice
Our company will have a know-all in future
She can help us translate the English catalogue as well
Right Jenny, you can ignore them
Bad news, Manager What's up?
The sportswear model is unable to come here
Oh clear! Boss Fung is on his way to our presentation
Can we ask him to come again tomorrow'?
No way! He'll fly tonight to attend an overseas meeting
We must find a substitute
Where can we find one at the last minute?
Boss Fung has seen all our staff before
Besides, we need a model with a well-proportioned figure
Jenny, you'll be the substitute
Me? Can I do it?
Sure Get changed immediately
Sorry, Boss Fung, Mr. But, we're a bit late
We can start now
Jenny...
Boss Fung... the sportswear gives Jenny a youthful and energetic look
She's pretty but not sporty enough
I'm selling sportswear A sporty image is very important
Actually... That's enough!
I'm very concerned about the sales volume
Excuse me, you're Boss Fung?
I know I shouldn't interrupt but I'd like you to let me say a few words
I'm listening
It's true I'm not sporty enough when I'm wearing this sportswear suit
My tennis skill is also mediocre
But I was prompted to learn tennis because of the beautiful tennis suit
Everybody likes beautiful things
Many people are like me They'll be motivated by beautiful clothes
The market is too small if your target customers are professional athletes
Sportswear can become a fad and be worn by everybody
The price can be very affordable
It can be treated as casual wear
There'll be a bigger market and higher sales volume too
Good point
I'll take your advice Send a contract to my company
Thank you, Boss Fung
This way, please Goodbye
Take care
Sorry, I'm too loquacious again
You're not only pretty but also smart Your presence has brought me good luck
How come the She-Devil has come back one clay earlier? My goodness!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Excuse me! Wait!
Mr. Cho, I won't lie to you
The first floor has been occupied by trade companies
They've signed a 5-year rental contract
Are you sure?
Of course! Take a look Right
I'll show you the other floors Sure
The second floor has been occupied by travel agencies and toy companies
Really? Yes, take a look
Right. Marvelous!
I won't lie to you Right
This is the best floor. Stay here
Sorry for the inconvenience
That's enough! Someone will be doomed
Be patient, please
Good morning, Director
Director...
Go away! Yes, Director
Cover me!
Where's my husband?
Speak!
Lin
Manager
Lin, Lin...
Why did you ask me to come here? Why do you behave so mysteriously?
I like this place because it's both romantic and quiet
Have you eaten your breakfast yet? I've bought you the breakfast by accident
How come you know my favorite is pineapple bun with butter
The bun is big and it's good value It smells good too. Smell it yourself
How come you look so obscene when you smile?
It really smells good What if we eat it together?
What's up?
My... My... My...
Why are you staring at us?
Mar-HM? wife...
Don't kill me
You'll become a widow
You've no self-discipline
I'd just left for 2 days and you'd committed all sorts of wickedness
No, we just bit a bun together We didn't do any naughty things
Did you enjoy biting the bun?
No, no
You like biting? I've picked 2 really big ones in Thailand for you to bite
Do you like them?
They're too big. I can't eat them
You force me to do it. I'll kill you!
I really don't understand why the She-Devil returned 1 day earlier
She said she was scared by the mosquitoes
You're really out of luck
No one could anticipate that you're doomed because of the mosquitoes
She's damaged your brain?
You're severely wounded How come you can still smile?
No, no, no She'll hit me if I read pornography
She'll also hit me if I look at the girls in the street
But she hit me only after I had close contact with Lin for 2 days
It's really worth being hit
Nonsense!
Absurd!
Let me tell you
I've thought through it already
I'll go to extremes once I've made up my mind
He won't regret until it's too late
You'd better come to your senses. Come here
Well, on second thought what his wife did was sadism
What if you call the police to arrest her?
Getting a divorce will solve your problem once and for all
Are you crazy? It wasn't easy for me to get this golden bowl
If I divorce, I'll become a beggar
Are you a man?
To be frank, I really pity you Both you and I share the same fate
My wife is as bad as yours She lied to me she came from a rich family
She also claimed herself to be
the champion of the Brands and Products Expo Beauty Pageant
A promising young man like me was taken in by her eventually
The pot calling the kettle black!
You pretended you were a biggie
If you hadn't said you were the boss of a movie production company
you wouldn't have run into Sheung
You and your wife have a meeting of dirty minds
You two are a perfect match
OK, we're a perfect match You and your wife are also a perfect match
Chun is your real gem She's decent, proper and virtuous, right?
His wife belongs to a rare species Hey
Of course! I'm her mentor
Hey! Don't eat the egg It's for dissipating my bruises
I've become worn-out after climbing up the stairs for you
I'm really starving
Have you finished bandaging him? Wai-chun is ill. I must go home and see her
Would you give me a ride?
Hurry up!
It's done Hey! Hey!
It's done Hey! Hey! Don't go away!
My timing is perfect
How come he returns so early?
My goodness! What should I do now'?
I must risk my neck this time
Chun is punctual. It's exactly 4:30
Lap-yam? How come you return so early?
Wai-chun is ill. I hurry back-to see her
How come you're here?
Since Wai-chun is ill, I come and pay her a visit and help her do the chores
She must be very ill
Is she still sleeping? I'll go and see her
No, no. She's OK. She's taking a bath
It smells good
I've been cooking deep-fried spring chicken Lap-yan, can you help me keep an eye on it?
I've to bring Wai-chun the towel
Hurry up! Don't let her catch: cold
What's up? She's hasn't come back yet
We'll be in deep water this time
Wai-chun, what did the doctor say?
Wai-chun...
The doctor said I must rest more
Wai-chun... I'm glad you'd climbed up the drainpipe
otherwise he'd have found it out
Let's talk about it later
Help me get changed first OK, OK
here you are
Wai-chun, the TV reception is poor Would you go and check it for me now'?
OK
Wai-chun
How come you returned so early today?
You're ill so I returned earlier to see you
I feel much better after taking a hot bath
I'm grateful to godmother for serving me here
Don't count on me next time
I'll be scared to death if I've deficiency of the cardiac blood
What?
She said I've deficiency of the cardiac blood
My condition has almost scared her to death
Wai-chun, why did you lie to me? What?
Look, your lips are red
Well, actually...
You said you're OK I'm sure you're still ill
Look, your forehead is burning Your hands are sweating as well
You must wear more clothes or you can catch a cold easily
You're ill. Your appetite must be poor I must go and cook some congee / porridge for you
Wow! It's a sumptuous meal We've got abalone, pot-roasted pork
steamed fish, "jade liquor in gold bottle“"
"10,000 taels of yellow gold“and "bright blossoms and green blooms"
Right...
Of course! Our company is announcing her annual performance today
Director won't be too mean
I've starved myself for almost the whole day in order to eat more tonight
I haven't eaten anything either
Don't blame anyone for your predicament
You'd lived in extravagance before
You should settle for plain rice seasoned with soy sauce now
So we must eat as much as we can today
We'll get back what we've lost
More food is being served
We've got everything now Yes
Director Director
Sit down, please
Manager, we may start now
Sure... Enjoy
Hey, hey, hey! What's happened?
It isn't real abalone This vegetarian abalone is made of flour
Pot-roasted pork? I can't find any pork
Steamed fish? It's salt fish! It's not fresh
It's freshly-made salt fish
"10,000 taels of yellow gold“is actually steamed eggs with assorted meat"
"Bright blossoms and green blooms“ is just pan-fried cabbage and lotus roots"
The legendary "jade liquor in gold bottle“ is actually creamy sweet corn canned soup"
I can cook one at home myself
Everybody, 5 dishes and 1 soup Plain steamed rice is all you can eat
This is our annual dinner? What an anticlimax it really is!
Quiet! Quiet! Honey... Director, what's happened?
Due to the crash in the stock market
our business has suffered a disastrous decline
We've a tight budget
I hope you'll understand the situation and we can get over the hard time together
We can improve our performance by working harder and putting up ads
We needn't be so frugal Right
I've made a deal with "Miracle“, an advertising company"
Miracle will help us advertise all our products
Why don't we do it by ourselves? We've to pay others for their service
Don't let others eat up our profits
I know all the advertising gimmicks
Ads will be put up in radio movies, magazines and newspapers
Sometimes movie stars are employed to create a herding effect
It's easy Right
Since we can do it by ourselves
we can help save a lot of money
Director, what if we change the menu? Yeah
Captain, we'll change the menu Quick!
You 3 aren't trustworthy Don't expect me to trust you again
No man is trustworthy!
Eat now! Help yourselves!
We've eaten too much meat It's good we've a vegetarian meal
Help yourselves!
The advertising campaign of Yat Sing Home Appliances isn't a big job
but if we can secure this customer we'll have a steady income in the long run
But all of us are busy doing other jobs at the moment
We can't spare anyone to do it
Since the lady in charge of that company
doesn't seem to know too much about advertising
Can we pretend we've done our job and just offer her a ready-made gimmick?
Can I pretend I've paid your salary?
Manager Yes?
I need your signature Sure
I've an idea!
Package the electrical appliances of this brand as high-and products
Many people will buy them because the products are a symbol of status
No, there's been a crash in the stock market recently
Every household has a tight budget No one will buy high-end products now
We're discussing advertising I wonder how much you know about it
Jenny, I'm listening
I felt using electrical appliances was a luxury at first
I hesitated for quite a while before I went to buy them
In retrospect electrical appliances helps me save time
so I can spend my time doing other things
True! I've an idea What?
Jenny, you'll write up the proposal
Me? I'm only a secretary
You'll look at this project from the perspective of a female customer
I believe we can get twice the result with half the effort
Don't worry Talk to me if there's any problem
I'll offer you bonus if you succeed in making a deal
Really?
I've got some information for you to study
