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
Have some fruits!
How could this happen, Lap-yan?
Among our wives
We thought yours was most obedient
You certainly had us fooled
She's Jenny from Miracle
Her commercial beat your Bruce Lee
When I asked my wife about Jenny
no wonder she wouldn't say a word
They're in on this together
I don't get it
She has a roof over her head
Nice clothes and spending money
Why must she work?
She said she needs confidence!
That's how woman are
They don't appreciate what the have
Take my wife for instance
No matter how much I give her
She'll say it's not enough
It's like a black hole
Woman with confidence will walk all over you
They have no regard for your feelings
My wife is just like that
Woman with no confidence is no better
Just like my wife
She can't make any decisions
I have to do everything for her
What you said is useless
The gist of the problem
is to find out the reason
Did someone con hen?
Force her?
We must know why
Look at you
Stopping the bank robbery
doesn't make you a super cop
I'm just trying to help Lap-yan
You really shouldn't fight over this
Don't be such a smart ass
You and your wife fight all the time
She'll even pull a knife on you
That's true
Woman is such a drag
Woman can't do much
How long can she run away?
I give her 2 days
She'll come crawling back
I think you should think of a plan
to teach these woman a lesson
You'll need inspiration
Have a drink
Very well!
Drink?
Come here, Sherlock Holmes...
Cheers!
Don't hide over there!
Cheers!
Clean up this mess, Wai-chun!
I forgot! She's gone
Damn...
Hallo?
Kwong!
What is it?
You jerk!
You guys had a good time last night
but left me such a mess
Get over here and clean up!
Clean up? It'll have to wait
Look at the time, pal
9:30! Damn! I'm late...
I finished the proposal last night
The robbery inspired the idea
Really?
It features 2 housewives
They're both ironing
They were both shot at
and they used the irons to block the bullet
One is shattered, the other is fine
Of course the one that's not broken is Yat Sing
Excellent!
You really think so?
It's perfect! It has talking point
Good! My effort didn't go to waste
Thanks, Jenny
Let me buy you dinner tonight
Sorry, I have to be home early
Maybe next time
Get some rest
I'm counting on you for the press conference
Alright
Take your time
I will
Hi, Jenny!
Hi!
Sorry I'm late, Boss
It's alright
Jenny came up with an idea
Already?
She's beautiful and smart
She's perfect!
You plan to...
It's not just a plan
I'm taking action
Is Wai-chun back?
Wise up!
If she's back
Lap-yan won't look like that
It's not all that bad
Without her to keep tabs on us
consider it a vacation
I'd welcome this with open arms
I'm not upset about that
I'm upset about you guys
You turn my house into a dump
Cleaning up after you is a lot of work
I forgot she ran away from home
and there's no one here to help you
You better clean up the place
we'll enjoy it more
Going to your place again?
I'm depressed
Can't you keep me company?
Yes!
You must
But this can't go on
Drinking is no problem
But we have to clean up
I've done enough of that at home
Something must be done
People fight and make up all the time
Let bygones bye bygones
Let's call Wai-chun
Good!
I know what you're thinking
You don't want to clean up and hang out with me
No! You're imagining things
We're worried no one is cooking for you
That's right
I'm a man
I won't beg her to come home
We'll get Tiger and Kin to come over
We'll clean up first
and then drink all we want
Sure!
I can't eat canned food everyday
The house is clean!
Is it my imagination?
I've only been gone for 1 clay
Look at this mess!
You're home!
I can't help it
That's what happens when men drink
You can't drink beer like water
You're not getting any younger
You can't stay up all night
I made soup, help yourself
You're leaving?
Godmother is waiting for me
Ask her if she wants canned food
They're bad for you
But I can't cook for myself
What else can I eat?
But Hing is different
She can whip up 10 dishes in a snap
Don't run around anymore
You shouldn't impose on her
How you know you can't do without a wife!
I always say a woman's place is at home
Woman would kill to marry a man
who can provide for her
It may not make any difference at first
But you'll become gaunt and sallow
Haven't you noticed
Since you started working
We've been fighting more
It's really not worth it
Be a good girl and quit your job
I really love this job
Please let me keep it
I don't want to be irresponsible
Let me finish the work on hand
then I'll quit
You're lucky I'm reasonable
Quit after you finish this project
Thanks for your help...
You look familiar!
Please take your seats...
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the Yat Sing Home Appliance press conference
This pretty lady next to me is Jenny
My handsome partner is Henry
Jenny, you were in the headlines
Please don't make fun of me
I can't decide if I was lucky or not
I'm sure you're know
We're referring to the robbery
at Bo Fung bank
Jenny was one of the hostages
I was unlucky to be held at gun point
But lucky enough to be alive
and be here today
More importantly
The incident has inspired me
to come up with this commercial
Without further ado
Please enjoy Jenny's brilliant idea
Presented by Ho Gig Trading Company Ltd
and produced by Miracle Company Ltd
We present to you
the new Yat Sing iron commercial
Don't move... robbery!
No...
Durability is most important in home appliances
It's my personal experience with Yat Sing's iron
It's a guArentee on quality
I'm confident this new campaign will make an impression
and Yat Sing will become every consumers first choice
Thank you
Cheers!
Excuse me, Miss Jenny
Mr. Yim
You're so charming
May I have this dance?
Sure!
Ho Gig Trading at your service
Can I help you?
Your wife is dancing with YimChu
The lecher with all those so-called goddaughters?
Get over here and keep an eye on her
He's beginning to molest her
and she's trying to get away
But she dares not reject him!
Oh no!
His hands is sliding down her back
She's dodging him
She's squirming... can you hear me?
Miss Jenny
You were such a great dancer
Let's take a walk down on the beach
I don't think so
I'm used to going to be early
It'll be just for a while
Please?
There you are, Jenny!
Excuse me, Mr. Yim
I need to speak to my staff
Certainly. Excuse me
Thanks so much
I can't seem to get away from him!
He's a well known lecher
Where is Jenny?
Outside on the balcony
Time flies by
Especially when you're having a good time
There's something I want to tell you
Me tool
You go first
You said you don't hire married...
You lecher!
Lap-yan! What are you doing?
He...
You!
But Ha-kau?
What did I tell you?
People will take advantage of you!
Don't be so naive
He's not after your brains
He's only after your body
It was Henry who saved me
You got it all wrong!
Henry is not any better!
Forget it!
Just quit your job tomorrow
I don't want any more surprises
Looks like I have no choice
He doesn't hire married woman
Now that he knows I'm married
He'll fire me for sure
You lied about being married?
Pak Wai-chun, what else are you not telling me?
Plenty?
What?
I needed this job
because I'm helping my godmother pay back a debt
She lost all her money on the stock market
I must help her
Why didn't you tell me?
You said you spent all your money
to help Kwong pay his debt
You said you won't help anyone else but him
So I took out a loan from the bank
That's why I must work
Your godmother is bad news
I don't care, you must quit
I'll figure a way to pay off your loan
The ball was such a hit
with all the celebrities and officials
If only we can break into high society
We'll be set for life
I know
I must admit you look lovely today
Where's the ruby?
I dropped it!
What's wrong with you?
How can you do that?
How can I ever pay them back?
Honey!
You're late!
I told you to skip lunch, did you?
Of course
I didn't even cook, I'm starving!
Eat all you want
Not only that
We can take everything home
You moron! Bring a bigger one!
Have some cake!
What a beautiful cake!
Is it good?
Yes, it's mango
Really?
I've never tasted it, you should try
Let me try
I want some water
Isn't it good?
Slow down, Honey
Don't choke on it!
Are you alright?
Slap you on the back?
Harden? You're turning purple!
Come in!
I'm so sorry
Jenny, you don't have to do this
Actually, I meant to tell you
I understand how he feels
But I'll never accept your resignation
I know you won't hire a married woman
I shouldn't have lied to you
No, I should thank you
Now I realized I was such a fool
To think married woman are incapable
of anything but household chores
You have proven me wrong
I won't let you quit
But I have made up my mind
The press conference has boosted sales
We'll have follow up events
I can't do everything myself
If you don't mind
I'll finish up before I quit
Think about it, Jenny
You should put your talents to good use
I'm sorry
Why did we order so much food?
They are expensive but not filling
The hotel must be celebrating an anniversary
and is cutting a good deal to regulars like us
Maybe Kin messed up the order
I asked him
He said there's no mistake
He told us to help ourselves
Really?
In that case...
Let's eat!
Wait! This is too good to be true
Something is not right
These must be leftovers or expired
You'll get diarrhea from it
He's your cousin, don't be so mean
Right!
It's true!
Maybe he knows you're in a bad mood
He's celebrating
I'll kill you for that
Don't worry about the ruby
I've notified my colleagues
They'll keep me posted
Don't bother
You can keep it as your heirloom
I'm bleeding here
Must you stab me again?
The moral of the story is
Never bite off more than you can chew
No, the moral of the story is
to marry someone smarter
I'm married to a moron
That's true, not everyone can be like me
Wai-chun takes in every word I say
That's right, she quit her job
I'm still furious
I'll eat anything, I don't care...
Stop! Don't eat anything!
Thank God I'm here just in time
What is it?
What?
Chip in
Forget it!
Let me think about it
But you said it's your treat!
I lost my mind when I thought I got easy money
But I made a mistake
Now I'm paying more than I gained
You thought you won the lottery?
I wish!
Some asshole
put a fake ruby on the pendant
I thought I struck gold
and pawned it at the shop
That's when I realized it's a fake
I didn't hear you
Can you say that again?
Some asshole tricked me
I'm that asshole, asshole!
You found my ruby and didn't tell me
I lost a fortune because of you
It's a fake, you can have it back!
I don't need it now!
I already borrowed money from She-Devil
to pay back the owner
Than you're being stupid
What? I'm going to kill you
Hey...
That was a few thousand dollars
Come back here...
I want my money back
They'll be at it for awhile
Let's eat
Let's...
Let's eat
They'll be at it for a while
Come back...
Are you really going to quit?
That's such a shame
The job gives me so much satisfaction
But if it comes between me and Lap-yan
I'd rather quit
Lap-yan still comes first
I've seen many men
But he's the most chauvinistic and least considerate
I better teach him a lesson
So he won't bully you all the time
I told you I don't want to see her
Why did you invite hen?
I didn't know it's your ruby
There's a lot more you don't know
I'm so grateful to Miss Lui
for lending us the money
I'll need to make more commercials to pay her back
Did you put a spell on him?
He's so sweet to you all of a sudden
I enlarged my breasts
Does it really work?
I suppose
Of course it does
I'd clothe same if I had money
Men have one thing in common
They're all lecherous
Wrong! Extremely lecherous
Any after effects?
Who cares?
Are you in? I can take you there!
Maybe I should
Are you serious?
Let me tell you
Men are also insatiable
I don't want him to look at other women
I only want him to look at me
9 out of 10 men have hemorrhoids
Why does it take so long?
If he can't cure me
I'll break his sign board
Director? What a coincidence?
Sure is
These signs are so confusing
I'm looking for the 5th floor
But you're on 7th
I'm not looking for plastic surgeons
Of course not
Hemorrhoids clinic?
These signs are so confusing
Ho Ho Hi-Fi is now Ho Ho clinic
I'm looking for Siberian mink
I better go downstairs
I'm looking for 17th floor
What?
Tell me, what are you talking about?
The Directors breasts are fake
That's because her husband is a lecher
Rather than let him look at other woman
Might as well have him look at her
But she doesn't look it
How can you tell?
It's dangerous to have them enlarged
They may collapse
That's right
She can fix them again if they collapse
She has the money
What's the fuss?
Morning, Director
Don't you have work to do?
Yu Mo-lin!
Ho Gig Trading
Where the hell are you, Tai Lap-yan?
It's much bigger...
Come in
Did you want to see me?
Pick up your cheque from accounts
You're fired
What?
You heard me! You're fired
Go pack up your things
What?
Remember you lost the document
and pissed off the Japanese?
You promised to give me another chance
You know how hard I've worked on the proposal
That doesn't make up for your mistake
What have I done?
Read the 5th line of page 65
That's just a small typo!
You're a manager
There's no room for small typos
Hurry up and pack!
You ignored a near perfect proposal
and instead zeroed in on a typo?
Is that the attitude of a director?
Don't tell me how to do my job
So what if I fire you?
So what if I want to focus on a typo?
Nothing
I'll get a job somewhere else
There are lots of offers for me
Since you have such a big mouth
You should be singing on Temple Street
I knew it
Woman like you can't be reasoned with
Under your direction
Ho Gig is finished
I'll just wait and see
when you'll get your retribution
How dare you say that!
You complained about my cooking
because I was busy at work
Here's something special
What is this?
They're your favorites
Stewed mushrooms, fried squid
boiled chicken, your childhood favorite
How ironic!
Even if I like it as a kid
I'd be sick of it by now
If you don't like it
I'll fix you fried egg
No, this is plenty of food
Don't be wasteful
Don't make so much next time
Just make enough for 2
Try the squid, they're very good
How thoughtful of you!
Daddy thought there were plenty of jobs on the market
and that he could find another soon
but...
I'm sorry
We can't afford your expected salary
Daddy was a proud man
He couldn't land the job he wanted
and didn't want people to know he was fired
He pretended to go to work each day
and tried to hide the truth
I'll beat you in 5 minutes
Stay where you are, I'll get help!
The manager position has been filled
Do you mind being his assistant?
The movie wasn't so good
Really? It's OK
Why the long face? It was a comedy
It's not that superficial
It has its food for thought
Really? Where are we going now?
Let's have tea
I have already made arrangements
They're throwing me a farewell party
I'll have plenty of time for tea
Well? You're not happy with it?
The job is good for killing time
I know what you mean
What did you say?
Nothing
Nothing?
Nothing
You seem a bit distracted
You must be working too hard
That's because I'm the brain
They can't do without me
How true!
Don't go that way
Why? The tea house is that way?
There are lechers over there
I don't want them to stare
Hey, you big jerk!
He's calling you
Of course not!
I'm big, but I'm not a jerk
Big Jerk...
No, he's talking to you
Honey! He's calling you
No, I don't know him
Come on! My eyes maybe blurry
But are you deaf?
You always beat us in chess
We'd like a chance to get even
Either you got the wrong guy or you're crazy
People must be bored these days
Bored? Not as bad as you are
You sit in the park all day
playing chess with old geezers like me
or playing soccer with the kids
You must have been fired
Honey?
I fired her, not the other way around
How about this one?
This one is hiring
I applied for that one last week
They cut my salary by 30%
I won't let them bully me
It's really tough out there
Unemployment is high in this depression
Don't worry, consider this a long vacation
I'll find something soon
Why don't I...
No!
But I haven't finished!
I don't suppose you're suggesting we eat out
What else could you say?
You want to go back to Miracle
This is no time to be reckless
Too bad your Boss is in Japan
or else you could explain to her
You didn't bad-mouth her
Explaining is beneath me
The She-Devil can't tell right from wrong
I won't lower myself to her level
and go begging
I have quit my job and you're fired
What about the water bill
electric bill, our mortgage
and all the other bills?
My bank account is running low
This is just temporary
We don't need the weather report to tell us it'll rain
Honey...
The only thing I'm worried
is which job offer to take
People are fighting over me
Here's an opening for a manger
There's a director position
Which one will it be?
Game! Such a hand
Come on! Play along with me...
Lap-yan is unemployed
What do you expect?
This is not working
If you can't make mortgage and car payments
You wife will run off
It's pathetic to be left alone
Hey, that rhymes!
Why don't you write songs?
No, you're the brain
Stop teasing him
He'll get mad
Alright... let me tell you
She-Devil put you back on the payroll
Are you serious?
Damn! You ruined the game!
Exactly!
But there are conditions
That's right
What conditions?
I took over your manager position
but She-Devil is considering
setting up a creative department
I know
She wants me to head the department
What did I tell you?
She'll know after she reads my proposal
Congratulations... thank you...
Nice to have you back!
Here comes the Director
Good morning
Long time no see, Mr. Tai
I consider it a long vacation
Let's get started
Yes!
Please sit down...
I read your proposal, Mr. Tai
You were right
Our business has been expanding
We need an advertising department
That's not all
There's a 2nd part to my proposal
I have laid out the logistics of
setting up the new department
Here's the budget and time line
Please take a look
That won't be necessary
We may need a new department
But we're not setting one up
I'm buying one
It can reduce our costs
and we get the professionals
We can also solicit other business
It'll be more cost effective
Yes...
It's almost time, they should be here
Wai-chun?
Jenny?
I have an announcement
Henry sold me 60% of his company
Miracle will become our sister company
Henry will be our Creative Controller
making him equal to Mr. Mo Yung
What?
Hallo, everyone
David is Henry's assistant
Hi!
Jenny is our Creative Director
How do you do?
What about me?
Since you're so interested
You'll be Jenny's assistant
Her assistant?
But you didn't tell me...
I just thought of it myself
You don't have to do this, Lap-yan...
What will it be, Mr. Tai?
Take it or leave it
I thought you always wanted to leave
You'll have no problems with your qualifications
Watch what you're saying!
Sorry Mr. Tai
Please forgive him
I have always admired your work
Can you let bygones be bygones
and work with me?
Sorry, we can't afford your expected salary
Do you mind being the assistant?
The bank account is running low
Here's to a new beginning
That's for sure
That She-Devil
She practically twisted his arm
and made Lap-yan work for Wai-chun
That's so humiliating
Lap-yan, I can't believe you followed my footsteps
and let a woman ride you
We're in the same boat, pal
Quiet down!
A man should be flexible
There's nothing she can do tome
Don't worry
She won't be my boss for long
She-Devil will know that soon
Some day when I get ahead
Wai-chun will quit
She'll go home and do chores
That's easy for you to say
That's too simple
Wai-chun has beat us many times
We don't know yet
If she wins again
Maybe you'll become the home maker
Touch wood!
She maybe my Boss at work
At home, I'm the head of the family
She must clothe chores and serve me
I'll accept nothing less
Tomorrow is another day
A man may be flexible
Daddy thought everything will be back to normal
When he woke up the next day
But he was in for a rude awakening...
What's the meaning of this?
You're up? I'm sorry
I have a meeting today
I have to read these documents
I didn't make breakfast
Let's eat at Phoenix Kitchen
Do you mind?
But...
Shit! I'm running late
I'll get changed
You did nothing all morning!
What's the hurry?
You'll have to get ready yourself
I don't have time to help you
What have you been doing?
Can you circle the paper for me?
then I can save some time
Thanks, Honey!
You're the Boss!
I'll do whatever you want
You have the She-Devil behind you
I'll put up with it
Your wife is so capable
She's your Boss now
Then you'll lose more than you gain
You'll be the homemaker!
Dinner is ready!
Why did you cook so much?
We can't finish it!
Egg shells?
How many times have I told you?
The congee / porridge is too thick
You're so stupid
I can't eat this!
No! I will not be a homemaker!
I must get ahead!
