If we're destined to be apart
We must accept our fate
You told me not to give in to feudal ethics
Keep an open mind
and break new grounds
I always say it's better to be a woman
Only a fool would get married
You must remember
Finding someone you love
is the luckiest thing in the world
You must cherish it
No matter what lies ahead
You must never give up
Love can solve anything
Look what you've done
We lost more than we gained
We've been humiliated by She-Devil
She had us pegged
How can we show our faces at work?
It's your fault!
You alone should be blamed for this
but you got us into this mess
Don't try to pin it on me
We're in this together
You urged me to go behind my wife's back
You got yourself into this
Don't blame me!
Hey!
You tried to blame me
We have a common enemy
Don't fight each other
We'll have nothing but trouble
We have lost this round
Do you think we'll lose our jobs?
Don't worry
What are we good at?
Ideas, right?
We'll beat Miracle
We must think of a way
to get the project back
What kind of idea?
If the She-Devil doesn't trust them
We can keep our jobs
What are you suggesting?
Wait and see
How can I calm down?
I'm so mad I can barely eat
Besides, nothing is edible
Pears are good for your lungs
When the company was making money
Nobody thanked me
Now that business is down
They out source my job
There's no loyalty anymore
You're exaggerating
Your Boss is not totally wrong
After all these are professionals
They're just doing their jobs
What do you know?
Woman are not meant for big things
The business world is a man's world
Woman should stay home and do housework
I disagree
Woman can be just as capable
You're being difficult today
Why must you argue everything?
I'm not arguing
I just don't want you to get upset
Say no more
I don't want to hear another word
Kwong and Chiu will help me He think of something
to get the project back
What if you lose?
Will you be affected?
Nothing actually
It's a matter of losing face
That's good!
What?
I said you're good at what you do
You're so sweet
Of course
I don't know, Officer
Do you have enemies?
No, we run a proper business
You must find out who did this!
The PR firm is in debt?
see? I told you
These PR firms are not to be trusted
Honey... I mean Director
Before you sign the contract
You can still salvage the situation
It's God's will
we found out about them now
It's divine intervention
You don't need to pay someone to do publicity
We have the skill sets right here
You mean the 3 of you?
We get paid to do our jobs
Might as well make full use of us
You shouldn't pay us to do nothing
Exactly!
Fine, I'll give you a chance
I have to review the creative from the PR firm
Show ma what you've got
I'll decide who did a better job
Thank you
Meeting is adjourned
See you
Open the door
see?
You did a good job
What did I tell you?
What job? It was you?
Just use your brains!
How can you do such a thing?
You'll get retribution!
Retribution?
I welcome it
My retribution is a pay raise and a promotion
Hey...
What the hell is that?
I forgot to tell you
The ink pot was leaking
I switched them
That's your retribution
Any ideas?
We asked for it
I can't believe we can't come up with an idea
Don't give up now
Ideas are everywhere
They'll come to us in no time
Really?
It's that simple?
Try a different perspective
Who are the users?
Woman
Who pays for them?
Men, of course
If men don't pay for appliances
Sales will drop
Our campaign should be targeted at men
We already have a different angle
All we need is an idea
My wife is like a man
She'll like whatever men like
She'll buy it
I don't think so
Woman should keep their mouths shut
when men are talking
To make men pay for this product
The commercial must feature their idol
Idol?
Him!
Bruce Lee on Enjoy Yourself Tonight
Bruce Lee?
He's so cool!
He's my wife's idol
But he has nothing to do with appliances!
Publicity is too deep for woman
Go back into the kitchen
and watch the dessert!
Go on!
By the way, what are we having?
Almond and gingko nuts
I love gingko nuts
Damn! Have an egg tart!
Forget the gingko nuts
Lap-yan, you're a genius
Cheers
Bruce Lee
Come to think of it
Your gold bracelets are heavy
I urge you, Sheung
Make sure you get them back
If my husband knows about it...
You'll be dead, right?
I know, don't be such a chicken!
If I didn't lose my money on stocks
I won't need your help
I'm not used to borrowing from people
If only I win this time
I'll pay you double
Win? Win what?
Snow lotus from Tienshan
You can turn around and make double
The market price is a few times more
Yet people still fight for it
I know
When my wife had cancer
This is what cured her
I didn't bring enough money today
Or else I'd buy them from you
Where can I buy this snow lotus?
You can't
My cousin brought them from Tienshan
This should cost you $5,000
I'm short on cash right now
You can have them for $3,000
Are you serious?
You promised to sell them to me
You really want to buy them?
I can turn around and make a double
This is the chance of a lifetime
I'll be stupid to pass it up
$3,000, right?
Yes
I'll take it
Take your business elsewhere, buster!
Don't mess with us, Bitch!
You don't know who you're dealing with
Go ahead, ask around
Find out who is Wan Yuan-yau
My father owns a mahjong parlor
What?
Am I qualified to mess with you?
Let's go, the odds are against us
Thank goodness
Thanks for your help Sister Yau
Thank you so much
Wait!
The horses are closing in...
Go...
...finishing line
Come on!
Lost by a nose!
Damn! Came in 4th again!
What?
Who are you?
What do you want?
It's the Litter Bug
I think it's trying to tell you
to put the paper in the garbage can
Never! Let's go
Stop it!
Don't touch my shoulder
That's enough! It's bad luck!
Let's go!
Help!
Stay where you are! What happened?
She was littering and she hit me
I want to press charges
Please come down to the precinct
What? Say that again!
I need you down at the precinct
You can't hit the officer
That's right
This way!
That's too troublesome
Giving a statement
and showing up in court
I'm dropping the charges
Make up your mind
If you give up now, you can't press charges later
He already said no
Don't talk him into it
Do you want me arrested?
Don't provoke the officer
That's right, calm down
I'm dropping the charges
Good riddance!
What's wrong with you?
I'm a cop
I have to go by the book, Honey
Honey?
He's my husband
He's the dumbest cop
in the history of Hong Kong
He wants his wife arrested
You know I'm a cop, you should behave
I'm not misbehaving
I helped them get rid of the swindlers
That's right
I'm sure the Governor will pin a medal on you
for arresting your wife
You're the only clean cop I know
We're so broke
you better not come home for dinner
Where are you going?
To the toilet, alright?
Tiger!
Looking for me?
Yes
I'm off now, let me go change
I'll come with you
You must catch those responsible
They ruined the wall
We already have your statement
We'll keep you posted
Thank you, officer
Thank you
Let's go
Wai-chun... It's really you!
Why didn't you answer me?
Fancy seeing you here!
Jenny, I'll leave you with your friend
Goodbye!
Sure!
Bye!
Jenny?
When did you get that name?
And you're all dressed up!
What are you doing here?
What about you?
You know each other?
Not really! I just helped them out
Yau is the wife of Lap-yan's classmate
I live next door to Wai-chun
That's Sheung, I'm Ping
Our husbands are cousins
Who was that guy?
It's a long story
He's my Boss
But Lap-yan doesn't know about this
Please keep this secret
You wish to borrow a studio
from the my friend who works at the TV station?
It's a matter of life and death
Can you help me?
Shouldn't be a problem
Wai-chun?
Wai-chun!
Why are you here?
Ask your buddy!
He had me arrested as a litter bug
Yes...
We met by chance
We called Wai-chun to bail us out
Yes
What are you doing here?
Bail?
That's right
If you still don't get it
Ask that fool you have for a friend
But you're fine now
You dressed like you're on your wedding day
I've never been to the Police station
I thought I should look proper
That's why...
Woman are so ignorant!
Yes...
Thanks for sticking to my story
Otherwise Lap-yan would find out
You're welcome
But you have the audacity
to get a job behind his back!
I had not choice
It was our fault you had to pay the debt
No, we all lost in the stock market
I have always wanted to work
This gave me the excuse
You have never worked a day in your life
Can you manage?
Is your Boss mean to you?
No, he thinks quite highly of me
and has given me great latitude in my work
I never realized I have such potential in creative work
I get satisfaction from the job
That's obvious! You look much happier
Don't let it stop
You might even beat Lap-yan
That's right!
Ping, your hands are rough!
That's for sure
There's so much to do
All the cleaning and cooking
At least I know about skin care
You don't have to work so hard
They have washing machines and rice cookers now
Kwong bought me a vacuum cleaner
Now I don't have to mop the floor
Damn! Your hands are smooth
Your husband must love you
Kin is too cheap to buy a rice cooker
With all these chores
Do you ever go out?
No, I still have a lotto do at home
We can certainly tell
who uses appliances and who doesn't
Bingo!
What's taking so long?
Right!
Be patient! Hit the lights!
OK
Look...
Why didn't you wait for me?
Rice made by a Yat Sing rice cooker
is something to kill for
Excellent...
What do you think?
Perfect...
The Best Actor Award goes to...
Mr. Tai Lap-yan
Yes
Congratulations, step up for your award
The Best New Comer Award goes to...
Mr. Lau Kwong
Thank you...
and the Best Actress is...
Mr. Mo Yung Chiu
You deserved this
Stop kidding around!
It's alright
Seriously, it was a close call
I almost scratched your face
Don't even bring that up
How many times do we have to re-shoot?
I'm new at this
He's surprisingly good as Chuck Norris
If I can fight like him
The She-Devil won't...
Dream on!
When the She-Devil sees this
She'll never criticize us again
Here's to us! Cheers!
Cheers!
I got it, Mr. But
I have an angle to sell the appliances
Really? Tell us
We'll need 2 footages
One about a housewife with appliances
the other without
Emphasize the housewife with appliance
have soft, tender hands
and also has time to go out
The one without appliances
has to stay home to cook
and her hands are rough
I'll find 2 models right away
Go ahead
No, I don't want models
Why?
Models are too sophisticated
They're not real
I want real housewives
People can relate to them
They have the right appeal
Good idea, Jenny
All because of you
Me?
You used me to sell sportswear
I'm riding on your idea
Where can we find the housewives?
That's right
I have someone in mind
Please take a look
They're perfect. We'll use them
Remember this suit and tie?
You always wear them for important meetings
or meet with important clients
I'm always invincible wearing them
Today will be no exception
After the She-Devil sees our work
She'll fire that PR firm
and put me in charge of the campaign
Lap-yan...
Don't bother to cook tonight
I have reserved a table
We'll go celebrate tonight
Wear something nice
But what if...
Don't worry! Wait for my good news
Drive carefully
I will. Bye!
Think about it
We used the She-Devil's idol
It'll be a sure win
I can imagine how she'll react
Don't get carried away
It's not yet in the pocket
The PR firm is quite capable too
We don't know what they have
But we have what it takes
They're out for sure
No, Lap-yan is right
We don't want surprises
What if the odds are against us?
then we up the odds
and we'll have nothing to worry about
What's on your mind?
Don't do anything reckless
Don't worry, it's very simple
If they don't show up
We don't care how good they are
This is a sure win, Boss
The commercial is great
Ho Gig will love it
Jenny is my lucky star
We'll get the pitch
Start preparing the contract
What happened?
Looks like we're trapped
We'll be late for the presentation
This can't be happening
Damn! Not at the eleventh hour!
Help...
Anyone out there?
Open the door!
You'll never beat us
In another life, maybe
Open the door!
Anyone out there? Help!
Hey...
Help...
Hey...
Help... anyone?
Are you trapped?
Yes, we're trapped!
Get us out, hurry!
I'll call the Fire Department
You'll get out within the hour
Within the hour?
Make a very important phone call for me
What?
Thank you
You're going to Lap-yan's office
and do the presentation?
then he'll know you're working
I know, but I must go
I'm the only one who knows the project
Lap-yan is such a chauvinist
If he finds out you're working
He'll divorce you
I can't let the campaign go to waste on my account
You can't have it both ways
I have a plan
It's worth a try
Why didn't you wait for me?
Rice made by a Yat Sing rice cooker
is something to kill for
That's all...
Excellent...
Such a masterpiece
Even Bruce Lee fights for the rice
It's so creative
Man is the head of the household
He pays for everything
The campaign is targeted for the buyer
Using Bruce Lee in the campaign
will appeal to the male audience
They'll fight to get their hands on the rice cooker
They'll be fighting for sure
What do you think?
Interesting
see?
What happened to Mr. But?
He's late
Don't bother, they're not coming
Why?
They know they'll lose
So they backed down
Precisely
In that case, that's all for today
Get the lights
Wait! Sorry, I'm late
Who are you?
Mr. But is tied up at the moment
I'm here to do the presentation
My name is Jenny
How sincere you are!
Your boss disappeared
and sent someone who can't show her face
Your commercial is probably no good
That's because I have rashes
I hope you won't mind
Go home if you have nothing to show us
You're only good with house work
Creative thinking is a man's job
That's right
Turn on the lights
Wait! You'll know if we're any good
after you see this
I'd like to know the difference
between a man and a woman
You may begin, Jenny
Thank you
That's Sheung on the left
and Ping on the right
Ping?
Sheung?
She didn't tell me!
Use Yat Sing
Even housewives can be stars
Excellent, Jenny
You did a great job
Thank you
My wife is quite an actress
She's the epitome of a happy housewife
and brought out the merits of Yat Sing appliances
The slogan is perfect
Use Yat Sing
Even housewives can be stars
So what if it's creative?
It doesn't sell
Housewives are the and users
If we target the campaign at them
It'll have the right appeal
But men pay for everything
Exactly...
That's true...
We can try a different angle
Buy Yat Sing Home Appliances
Your wife can be a star
They're both very good
and create enough noise
Once we air the commercial
Sales will go up
You should think this over
Yes
I've made up my mind
Miracle will handle the account
What?
Thanks so much
What?
You must work with them
I have to work with them?
If you don't want to
you're welcome to quit
Lap-yan, calm down!
Given the circumstance
Wait for our chance to fight back
Very well, Miss Jenny
We'll work with you
Thank you, Mr. Tai
Sorry, I must now go see the doctor
Goodbye, everyone
Drink some water
and put out that fire inside
You know me so well!
I had hot fish balls on the street
and my throat feels like it's burning
Is that it?
What else?
He's taking it rather well
What are you mumbling about?
Tell me
You pitched against Miracle for a job
What happened?
They're no match for me of course
I drowned them in my creativity
Need you even ask?
I know, but don't be too cocky
Don't fuss over winning or losing
In my book
I don't know the meaning of losing
I'm so happy today
Let's dance
Dance?
Come on!
Honey...
Use Yat Sing
Even housewives can be stars
The slogan turned Yat Sing into a household name
Sales skyrocketed
and Mom's creativity has been acknowledged
She became the star at Miracle
Even Sheung and Ping
have become stars on the TV screen
Look at the dust... it's heavy!
Over here...
You're asking for it!
1, 2, 3...
This is stupid
Digging up these old proposals
for Miracle as reference!
What's the point?
We need something new
We use to handle these proposals
Now we're serving Miracle
How can she make us work for them?
This is all for nothing!
I can't believe a woman beat us
We didn't even see her face!
She must be ugly as sin
Or else why would she hide her face?
Why so secretive?
The only reason she won
is because she was lucky
Look what her luck has done to us
The She-Devil made us sit on the sideline
If they want data, we'll give them data
Right!
Don't give them any excuses
to blame us for anything
We play fair
We'll see what they can do
I wish they'd screw up
and She-Devil would fire them
We're on her side
How can she do this to us?
I've spoken to my wife
She said this is her big break
You know she has always wanted to be a star
She had auditioned for ad agencies
but no one called her back until now
Somehow that Jenny saw her
and now she's a commercial star!
Did she tell you about Jenny?
No, except she's smart
and that their commercial
beats ours by a mile
She's cutting you down
You know how women lose their heads
Now her schedule is jam packed
I tried to have dinner with her
Guess what she told me?
Sure, get in line
Now you'll know how I feel
Taking orders from my wife
Lap-yan, you're my idol
Don't let us down
Don't let your wife order you around
Don't worry! What can a woman do?
Who's been bad-mouthing you?
Maybe it's just the flu
I bought oranges for Vitamin C
Have some!
Thanks, but I don't want to dirty my hands
Jenny
Mr. But
Remember I told you
You'll get a bonus? Here!
Thank you, Mr. But
You're welcome
You did a great job
Jenny, you're a genius
I'm putting you in creative
I'll do my best
I have all kinds of strange ideas
Now I can put them to good use
I really like this job
I'll put you in charge of Yat Sing Home Appliances
Yat Sing?
We have to work with Ho Gig?
Yes
Why the long face?
The Director specifically asked for you
Don't worry, Jenny
I'll keep an eye on you
Tai Lap-yan is coming over
with the old proposals
He should be here any minute, right?
Let me check
Mr. But, I need to talk to you
What is it?
It's embarrassing and awkward...
I don't know how to say it
No matter how embarrassing
You can tell me
Actually... I have belly ache
If you're not feeling well
Go home and get some rest
But I have to follow up on Yat Sing
Don't worry, I'll handle that
Go home now
You're so nice, Mr. But
I better go now
You're down with the flu?
Maybe
Eat some oranges
Vitamin C is good for you
You can't afford to be sick
The company needs you
You're so thoughtful
I'm going
Get some rest
Bye
Is it sweet?
Very
You call that sweet?
Sorry
Shit...
I'm a Sales Manager
Now I'm delivering reports
That makes me an office boy!
You're wrong
We have an important task
Like what?
We're here to spy on them
These PR firms hire pretty girls
If I hook up with one or two
You better get out of my way
Don't expect too much
Remember that Jenny?
Wrapped up like a Power Ranger
I bet she has slanted eyes
flaring nostrils and big mouth
If she's anything to look at
She would have gotten married
and stay home instead of working
and getting in our way
Don't be so mean
She's just trying to save money
for an old maid's home
Who else will take care of her?
Don't be so mean
I learn that from you
Let's move it
What happened here?
Shit!
These are the proposals for model no. PN313 to PN486
Follow up reports on PN313 to PN48G
and reviews of PN313 to PN486
2 boxes of files is a lot of reading
Use your eyes
Or borrow his eyes and have him give you a report
If there's nothing else, goodbye!
Yes
Hold on!
What is it?
Do you have problem understanding me
Or you're plain stupid?
I wanted a Z-page summary
of the proposals on previous models
not a box of garbage
You must have problem explaining yourself
We only did as we were told
Right?
Yes
Do you need us to tell you to eat?
You should know better
But with your brains
You get the position you deserved
Think again
You're working for Ho Gig
That makes me your Boss
You better get this straight
Of course I did
I take orders from Miss Lui
You're to help us with anything we need
If you don't want to do it
I'll just tell Miss Lui
Are you using her to pressure me?
I told you, you should know better
You...
Have the report ready in 2 days
Make sure you do a good job
Let's go
Serves him right
Wai-chun, this is for you
You shouldn't have
You must take these
We're just passing them on
They're all from the sponsors
Have some tea
Thanks
You're hot these days
You're in all the commercials now
All thanks to Wai-chun
Now we must wear sun glasses
People stop us on the street for autographs
If aver you need us for any product
Just let us know
We'll fit you into our schedule
Anything you say, Wai-chun
We'll even do it for free
All thanks to you
Since I've been making commercials
I realized there's so much out there
Yes, it's a big world out there
I'm afraid I'll be coming home soon
I won't be making commercials
You told me you'll be transferred to creative
and your Boss thinks highly of you
and gave you a big assignment
An assignment to work with Lap-yan
on promoting the latest iron
I'll have to meet with him
I can't wear a scarf every time!
Think of something else
Just play it by ear
No, it won't work
You won't be so lucky every time
If Mr. Tai should find out
It may cause problems
It's not a good idea
Look at you!
I was just marveling how brave you are
Yet you're getting scared all over
Wai-chun is not like you
She can do without a husband
She's smart and capable
Her career is just picking up
She has a bright future
It's a shame to give up now!
I just realized how much I love my work
Even though it's tough
I get a sense of achievement
Staying home is so boring
Woman can do more than be a housewife
We can have our own career
and maybe do better than our husbands
I think you should tell Mr. Tai
and stand up for your fights
Lap-yan is a chauvinist
He's stubborn and pig-headed
He's doing it for my own good
Even if he runs into you
Just deny it
He can't do anything to you!
Just tell him people look alike
People look alike? Bingo!
