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
Is Diamond Ko here?
He left this morning, looking a bit sad
What would you like?
Baked pork chop with rice for 2
Sure
I thought you wanted chicken wings
Why order something else when the Boss is out?
The chef is Bing
When Diamond Ko goes out
He goes gambling
Only his assistant is working now
Baked pork chop with rice is safer
How do you know about these things?
I'm your wife, I must look out for you
Wai-chun
Is that Hing?
I think so! Godmother...
Hing...
Not so loud... Godmother!
Hing!
Hallo, are you talking to me?
You look very nice today, Hing
Come sit with us
That's right
Sorry, you've mistaken
I'm Mrs. Smith from Australia
I'm sorry
Excuse me
She looks like Hing
Or maybe not
What would you like?
Coffee, please
Look how elegant she is
Nothing like my Godmother
She doesn't have her accent either
I guess people just look alike
I'm sure that's why
But she looks identical
Even more so than twins
I'm sure Lap-yan fell for it
Even I thought you're someone else
You're so brilliant
Telling me to dressed up like that
Now Lap-yan believes people look alike
If you run into him
Just tell him
I'm afraid you've made a mistake
Anyway, nice to meet you
That's because you did a good job
Or else it'll never work
You really do look like a lady
My old Boss used to say that
I can talk and sing too
Really?
Godmother
Sing something for me
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love...
My love for her will never die
That's Diamond Ko!
It's him alright
He's always going against me
Now he's singing the same song
There's something wrong with him
People don't come to the pier to sing
Do you suppose...
Suicide?
Have you been lying to me?
Watch him, I'll call the Police
Everything you said in the love letter
They're all lies
Oh no, Laura's letter!
My letter!
Wait...
My letter
Don't do it... hey...
Help!
How is Diamond Ko?
A brave young man passed by
He jumped into save him
He was rushed to the hospital
The nurse said he drank some sea water
and was in a bit of a shock
He's so lucky
Auntie
You haven't eaten all day
Should I fix you some noodles?
I have no appetite
You didn't mean it
It was an accident
You wanted to save him, not kill him
But I pushed him in the water
If you ask me, it's Laura's fault
Laura? Buddha, have mercy!
Don't let anything bad happen
Diamond Ko is not young anymore
Yet he chases after these young girls
So I cursed him
About being dumped by woman
About him jumping into the water
About him getting sick
and losing his business
I was just babbling
Buddha, please ignore me
Don't let it happen...
You already cursed him
Be nice to him from now on
and make it up to him
She's right
He needs help right now
Encourage him to start over
Mr. But
Yes?
You almost had that deal
Why did you turn it down?
Mr. Chan wants a proposal next week
But we have to do a presentation for Ho Gig next week
and we have nothing so far
I'm afraid we don't have time for it
Actually I have a few ideas
when I was laying in bed last night
But I'm not sure if they'll work
You get ideas in bad?
That's incredible
Don't make fun of me
I don't know if it'll work
Try me
In the opening shot
You see a piece of wrinkled blue silk
The wrinkles are like waves at sea
then you see the latest iron model
sailing through the water
and the fabric becomes smooth
Like the sea after a storm
That's a good way to bring out the merits of the iron
Really? But there are technical details
we need to work out
Let me worry about that
That's true
I shouldn't under estimate you
Let's get started with the storyboard
and talk to the director
Who should we get?
That looks like Wai-chun
We'll take your idea
and get started with the storyboard
I'll work on the slogan
See you later
Jenny, are you done with the document?
Yes, let me get it
Thanks
Here you go!
Can I help you?
I'm here to see Mr. But
I'm Tai Lap-yan
Please wait. Hallo, Mr. But
A Mr. Tai is here to see you
Where's the 2-page summary?
Given our ability
That was nothing
Really?
You may go in
Sure
What are you doing down there, Jenny?
I dropped something
What? I don't see it
What is it?
You're breaking out into a sweat and shaking
Are you alright? Don't scare me
No...
Not bad!
Of course
Tell me
I thought Jenny was in charge of the account
Why don't you ask her to join us?
I better go see the doctor
There you are, Jenny
The Boss wants you
to sit in on Tai Lap-yan's summary
I'm dead
I don't mind, I have time
Let's wait for Jenny
Sure
What is it, Jenny?
Sorry, Mr. But
The air-con is too powerful
I'm coming down with the flu
Let me turn it down for you
Go ahead without me
Miss Jenny
Yes?
We've met at Ho Gig
You're here to present a summary
This is the report?
Do you get sick often, Miss Jenny?
You were like this last time
Can't be helped, I'm weak
You look a lot like someone I know
That's the line all men use
when they meet a girl
I'm surprised you're a flirt
Miss Jenny, I'm...
Let's stick to the report, shall we?
There's bean sprouts on your head!
Really?
I wrap my lunch box in this towel!
You should ask me before you take it
Wai-chun?
Wai-chun? I beg your pardon?
You got a job behind my back!
I don't know what you're saying
You must have mistaken me for someone else
No I didn't
Don't you know people look alike?
That's true
I met someone who looked exactly like my wife's Godmother
Really?
You're not Wai-chun?
Of course not
I must make a phone call
Hallo?
Hing? Why are you answering the phone?
Where's Wai-chun?
She's here... Wai-chun!
Lap-yan, I'm doing a facial
I can't talk right now
I'll talk to you later
Have fun at work! Bye!
Hello... She hung up on me!
Can we get back to work?
I'm sorry, Miss Jenny
I must have made a mistake
But you look exactly like her!
Stay away from me
I've turned it down, Jenny
Is it better?
Sorry, I need to go to the doctor
I'll go with you
What about the report?
Leave it here, Mr. But is very busy
Sorry, Mr. Tai
I'll read your report later
Jenny, let's go
This is outrageous!
That guy played you for a fool!
The nerve of him...
Exactly!
Hopeless Chiu
What?
I think he goes to the gym
You're no match for him, calm down!
I didn't say I'm beating him up
You were rolling up your sleeves
That's right
I'm just hot
I thought you were going to teach him a lesson
If he won't do it, I will
What?
Mo! Beat someone up for me
His name is But Ha-kau
Fix him good
No problem!
But Ha-kau, I'll hit you on the head
so you'll be out of breath...
Does it work?
Sure!
I hit your feat...
You'll be too weak to walk
Me too
Beat up Lui Yip-hung
But do it gently
The She-Devil?
Break her hand
so she can't hit me again
No problem!
Don't be so superstitious!
Don't say that
The only way to deal with despicable people
is to use despicable means
Kwong is right
I only wish for good fortune
But we must mess it up for them
I don't want to profit at someone else's expense
Don't do anything rash
Lap-yan, I beg of you
Forget about playing fair
That's my business
I vow to take revenge
Laura and I made our pledge here
We promised never to marry anyone else
We promised!
But now...
The Marriage Stone doesn't work
It doesn't work...
Are you alright?
You!
Did I kill your family or something?
You already pushed me into the water
Now you want to push me from here?
You won't stop until I'm dead, right?
You've been dumped, you're not crazy
You jumped into the water
Don't blame me for it
Don't bother to deny it
You jabbed me with an umbrella at the pier
Except you were dressed like a lady
Exactly! I'm not a lady
It wasn't you?
No
I suppose you're right
You have no class
How did you know I fell in the water?
We knew about your suicide
You were singing "Tell Laura I love her“ and you jumped in the water"
I told you it wasn't suicide
Some lady who looks like you
pushed me with an umbrella
What are you doing here?
I'm afraid no one will fight with me if you're dead
Who'd want to do that?
I came here to show you the newspaper
It's a scam
A 50-year old man in the U.S.
His wife swindled his entire fortune
He didn't kill himself
Instead he started over
Now he's a business tycoon
Are you making fun of me?
He was worse off than you
but he wasn't half as dispirited
I'm not dispirited
I came here for inspiration
to make Phoenix Restaurant more profitable
Wait and see
I'll do better than the Yankee
Really? Then prove me wrong!
That's the general idea
What do you think, Miss Lui?
Stupid!
What?
Something you don't like?
Let's discuss it
I'm so stupid
Why didn't I hire you earlier?
That was such a brilliant idea
Simply unprecedented
You are so wise!
You have better judgment than most men
Mr. Mo Yung, is there a problem?
You look like...
Look like what?
You look too much like Mrs. Tai
Almost identical!
Yes, Mr. Tai told me
He called his wife in my presence
Other than my appearance
Are there any other questions?
I don't wish to put a damper on things
Even if our Director approves your idea
You must clear it with Mr. Sato
Mr. Sato?
We have a 5-year contract with Yat Sing
At the end of the term
Someone from Japan will be here for a review
and discuss renewal terms
The proposal for the new iron
is crucial to the contract renewal
Mr. Sato will decide on that
Come in
Director
What is it?
Mr. Sam's secretary called
Mr. Sato is leaving early
What?
Tomorrow's meeting is rescheduled to 4 o'clock this afternoon
4 o'clock?
4 o'clock? What time is it now?
It's already 3 o'clock
What? We don't have time to prepare!
There's not enough time!
If you're happy with our pitch
I'm confident we can renew this contract for you
I'm so relieved to hear that
Tell Mr. Sato we'll be there soon
Good!
Yes
I'll get the car
Jenny, you know Japanese
Please translate for us
Sure
Here's the elevator
Come on
I'm sorry about re-scheduling
But I'm impressed with your efficiency
Wait till you hear our presentation
Did you forget the storyboard?
We were in such a hurry
I must have left it in the conference room
Is there a problem?
Why don't you get started?
We can do without the storyboard
Our concept is very simple
We can do it orally
This is ridiculous!
How can you do this?
I thought you were efficient
But you're so careless
I'm very disappointed in you
Until you're well prepared
I won't listen to you
Mr. Sato, please wait...
Yes
Give us 16 minutes...
How can they forget something so important?
Are you alright?
You're so heavy!
Watch your kid, buddy!
He's not my kid, pall
Mother!
You rotten kid!
How many times did I tell you
You'll get run over!
Watch your kid!
It's none of your business
It's your fault, lady
Shut up!
You almost ran over my son
I haven't started with you
How dare you talk back!
Shut up!
Come along, brat!
What a bitch!
She didn't even thank me for saving the kid
You should be more careful too
You're both at fault
Where's the file? Damn...
There!
Hallo! Lap-yam?
Is that Lap-yam?
Yes
Let me talk to him
Where are you now'?
You lost the storyboard?
What?
I don't care, don't bother to explain
Figure something out!
What are we going to tell Sate?
Shut up!
I won't wait any longer
You're not showing any good faith!
I'm very disappointed in you
Please leave now
What did he say?
He said he's very disappointed
We're not showing any good faith
He wants us to leave
Mr. Sato
Let us explain, Mr. Sato
Jenny
Please give us a chance to explain the concept, Mr. Sato
Mr. Sato
Please wait a bit longer
Please let us explain
That's right
What did he say, Jenny?
He wants to sleep
Do we want to join him?
Let's go out
Well? What about our dealership?
I'm sorry, Miss Lui
It's my fault
But this is too coincidental
Losing the storyboard at a time like this
He must be trying to get even
What's wrong with you?
I take my work very seriously
I saved the boy
and then the file was gone!
You must think I'm stupid
Come up with a better story
I'm telling the truth
Mr. Sato was furious
I couriered the storyboard to him
He banned it without even looking at it
I had to beg him for another chance
If I lose the Yat Sing contract
I'm holding you responsible for all losses
I'm sure Mr. Tai didn't mean it
He did the humanitarian thing
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise
Give him another chance...
Are you finished?
Yes
I'm warning you, Tai Lap-yan
You're fired if you do this again
Miss Lui...
Get out!
Come on...
Well, tell us what happened?
Yes, tell us
Get back to work
Incredible...
I got reprimanded
How can you laugh?
Quit the act, there's nobody here
Saving the kid is an old trick
But as long as it works...
Let's see how Miracle will handle it
You think it's a trick?
I really saved that kid
You know why I respect you?
Because you believe in your own lies
That's what I call style
You're so brilliant!
Serve them right
We got our revenge
Let's have tea
I'll get the egg tarts
Wait here!
I am suffering in silence
No one will understand
Wai-chun, I'm home
Honey, you're back!
What is it, you look tired
Sit down, I'll give you a back rub
Why the long face?
Trouble at work?
I don't want to talk about it
I saved a kid today
and lost an important document
The She-Devil reprimanded me
How could that happen?
The kid ran into me
And I dropped the file on the floor
I saved him from an oncoming car
After that, the document was gone
But nobody believed me
They thought I was trying to get even
You have run-ins with your colleagues?
Why would they say that?
Even if that's the case
I'll never jeopardize a business deal
I never mix personal matters with business
If I want to get even
I'd rather beat someone up
than get myself in trouble
You're an honorable man
This is beneath you
But the She-Devil doesn't think so
She's singling me out
She'll can me if anything goes wrong
Even if nobody believes you
I'd still believe in you
As long as you have a clear conscience
They'll eventually know the truth
Come on, don't get upset
Take a bath and wash away the bad luck
I always say it's better to be a woman
You'll never understand
The pressure we're under
If you're in my shoes
You'll never be able to handle it
Housewives like me
Can never compare to a man like you
That's for sure
Excuse me, I have to leave now
That's alright, you can go
I want to work on this some more
I'm going now
Jenny
Yes?
Tell my secretary to get me a coffee
You had a few already
It's bad for you
Have some soup instead
Did you make this?
We've been in meetings
That's why I made soup
I can't finish it, have some
Alright
Don't work too late
Goodbye
The meat is very tough
Maybe I didn't marinate it long enough
Have some fish
I can small that from a mile away
Really?
Maybe not enough ginger
Are you in a bad mood
Or is the food really bad?
Wai-chun, I have wanted to ask you
What happen to your cooking?
The house is a mess
What have you been doing?
Lap-yan, make yourself clear
Exactly what are you complaining about?
then listen carefully
There are 4 creases on my pants
What's wrong with that?
4 on each leg?
That's 8 for each pair of pants!
The soap is all soggy
You can grow flowers in the soap dish
You removed the blade from my shaver
How can I shave?
You're home all day
Can't you do better?
You can't say that, Lap-yan
Wai-chun works very hard
She has chores at home
And she looks after you
Out there...
Godmother...
Out there, she entertains the neighbors
A slip up here and there is nothing
The soap dish and the blade
You can do that yourself
She can't do everything!
I have to go to work
She must take care of the house
What if Wai-chun is dead?
I am not talking about you
Why are you getting all upset?
And you curse Wai-chun!
Where is your heart?
Alright, stop arguing
It's my fault, alright?
I am not eating, help yourself
What?
I'm not eating, help yourself
But you're really making a mess
If neither of you will eat
I'll eat it all by myself
But the fish really stinks
I'm sorry, I've been moonlighting
And left your house in a mess
It's not your fault
Lap-yan is being picky
Because you have spoiled him
I had too much time on my hand
So I did everything for him
Now I have to work
And take care of the household
I can hardly manage
Oh look at you
You're coughing!
Drink some honey
Why are you working so hard?
Because of Lap-yan
Mr. But and Ho Gig lost a deal
I thought I might give him a hand
It must be tough on you
I don't mind the hard work
But I don't have any idea
I can only help out with house work
Don't count on me for anything else
You have tried out the new iron
What do you think?
It's a good iron for clothes
and dollar bills too
I intend to let my friends try it
and get their feedback
Oh my God! Look at you!
You're working too hard
You look pale!
Let's go buy some tonic
Good! I need to make a payment at the bank
Look at the line!
I thought it'll be in and out
Exactly!
Hello there!
What a coincidence?
Yes
Godmother
Yes?
While we're waiting
Tell me about the iron
Maybe I'll get some inspiration
The important thing is the grip
and whether it's hot enough
and durable... if you drop it...
Robbery!
Put the money in the bag!
Don't point that iron at me, Bitch!
I'm not... take this back!
Hurry! Put the money in the bag!
Don't move!
Don't point the gun at me!
It's nice to start a game this early
Wai-chun went to visit her Godmother
That's why I have time for this
Before we start, I need the money for the room
Not now, we have all night
We won't stick you with it!
Exactly!
That's what I'm talking about
Last time I asked you during the game
You said it was bad luck
The time before that
I practically had to beg you for it
Let's clear this up now, $80 each
Wait! I thought it was $70
You have 30% staff discount
Don't try to con us
That's my tip for running around
Just like you'd tip the ball boy
But we're not treating you like one
Don't argue
It's not fair
Don't ruin such a happy occasion
Let's not talk about money
Alright
Here's $100, keep the change
You have class, Lap-yan
Can we get started?
Can't wait to lose? Let's begin
Did you bring enough?
Get out of the way!
What happened?
Special news report
At 1:15 pm this afternoon
An armed robber broke into
The Bo Fung Bank on Shanghai Street
Our camera crew is on location
to bring you the latest
Hurry up...
Alright
What's taking you so long?
1 character
This is taking us all night!
The robber held 13 hostages at gunpoint
The stand-off with the Police is on for several hours
No hostage has been released so far
It's Tiger!
You're right!
Tiger...
He looks cool!
Good thing we didn't go there
Hurry and discard a tile!
Latest update
2 female hostages came out for food
It's Wai-chun!
Yes!
Stop this!
Get out of the way! Stop this!
That's not Wai-chun
It's Jenny from Miracle
You met her at the presentation
The woman at the presentation
Was wrapped from head to toe
How can you tell?
Stop arguing! Look who's next to her
That's Hing!
Your wife is next to her
Wai-chun?
Do I have a volunteer?
Let me
You are being surrounded
If you don't surrender
and release the hostages in 5 minutes
We'll take action
Turn yourself in before it's too late
We can plead for your case
Yes
We will
You're outnumbered
You won't get away
Shut up!
Answer the phone!
You! Go on!
Be careful, Wai-chun
Come out!
Wai-chun
Hallo?
I'm Superintendent Chan, who's this?
I'm a hostage
What's your situation?
There are a dozen hostages
The robber is pointing a gun at me
Put him on the phone
He wants to talk to you
Hallo!
3 minutes have passed
You're completely surrounded
Please release the hostages
I dare you to break in
I'll kill them all
No...
Please calm down, Mr.
I know you won't be doing this
if you had a choice
Whatever you want
talk to the Police
Please calm down
That's right
They'll never listen
I need money to feed my baby
If you need baby formula
We can chip in and buy you some
Yes...
see? We can...
Shut up, Bitch!
Shut up, Godmother!
People in Hong Kong are snobs
I don't want to deprive my son
and have people look down on him
If you keep this up
He can't look at you at all
Shut up!
Are you alright?
I'm fine
Why are you here with Hing?
It's my lucky day I guess
Since you're fine
I'll need your statement
Sure
Name?
Pak Wai-chun
It's you!
Jenny and Pak Wai-chun are the same
Needless to say
The lady in Phoenix Restaurant is Hing
I knew something was wrong
No one can be so much alike
You played me for a fool
and I fell for it like an idiot
I want you to quit your job now
Don't yell at us
We were held at gun point
and we're still shaking
Say something nice
You had the audacity to put up an act
Nothing scares you
I'm sorry Honey
You should be
This is clearly not my fault
Not really
If you let me work
I wouldn't have to do this
You're blaming me?
Look at you
You used to be so agreeable and gentle
I want you to quit
I did nothing wrong
I can take the burden off you
I can afford to pay for you
Put yourself in my shoes
I'm home all day staring at the walls
Do you know how boring that is?
Life was meaningless
But since I started working
I feel so energetic
You're very energetic in deceiving me!
Don't argue, I want you to quit
Can't you be more reasonable?
You never raised your voice at me!
And you never answer back!
I'm not quitting my job
You want reason?
I'll give you reason. Start talking
because...
Look how you're behaving
Wai-chun led a pampered life
You have bullied her since you got married
Bully her?
She doesn't have to go to work
What more does she want?
You're only thinking of yourself
What about her feelings?
I'm not talking to you
Wai-chun, come home with me
Let him think it out
Come on, come home with me
Stand right there, Pak Wai-chun
Don't you walk out on me!
You wouldn't dare!
Stand right there!
What? You're leaving?
How dare you!
Don't aver come back!
Have some tea, Wai-chun
Thanks
I've made up the bed
You can go to sleep whenever you want
Where will you sleep?
I borrowed a folding bed from the neighbor
Thanks so much
It's my fault
If I didn't lose my money in the stock marks
t
You'd never have to get a job behind his back
and you won't be fighting over this
Please don't say that
Helping you with your debt is only part of the reason
I also wanted to broaden my horizon
But I feel bad about Lap-yan scolding YOU
He doesn't have to be so mean
I shouldn't have lied to him
It's only because he's chauvinistic
Or else you'd never have to lie to him
It's my fault
I must bear part of the blame
I have spoiled him
and he became more chauvinistic
If I didn't have to help you
I'd probably stay home
and never find my own happiness
What do you plan to do?
I don't know
But I don't want to quit now
The proposal is not done
I can't stop half way
Since I can't convince Lap-yan
I'll finish the matter on hand
It'll be more meaningful
