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
Auntie
Sze-ka, you're home!
How's your lag?
Still the same
Sit down
How nice of you to come see me!
If I didn't run into her
She'll never come home
You're still a beer girl?
I'm a promoter
What's wrong with that?
Being lawyer, kowtowing to your clients
is no better than selling beer
You're proud of that?
You dropped out of school
You can't hold down a job
Look at you!
Don't say that about her
We don't do that enough!
Selling beer is selling yourself
That's like being a prostitute
That's offensive!
What I'm saying is not offensive
What you're doing is offensive
I saw you
Just to sell a dozen beers
You let that drunk molest you
I was there with my colleagues
You know how embarrassing that was?
So that's what this is about!
I don't get it
If you just want to hang out
You don't have to be so cheap
No worse than those starlets you're after
They cozy up to lawyers like you
You know how high is the divorce rate?
You're a divorcee yourself
You want me to get married now
and then go to you when I get a divorce?
What did you say?
You heard me? Was I wrong?
He's your cousin, lay off him
I was right
You have no respect for your elders
What is it?
What's wrong?
My leg... help me to my room
Sure, I'll give you a rub
Be careful...
Slowly!
Slowly...
Sit down, I'll get the medicated wine
No, I'm fine
I just don't want your Uncle to nag
Close the door
What is it?
I know how hard you work
I didn't do any of those things
I know you
When you came to Hong Kong as kid
I raised you like my own daughter
Your Uncle is just concerned
Don't argue with him, we're family
Your parents died when you were a kid
It's my duty to look after you
I can manage
Are you sure?
I'm saving this room for you
Come back anytime you wish
There are expenses living on your own
If anything goes wrong, you must tell me
Don't worry, I will
You're home already
Might as well spend the night
Whatever! I'll give you a rub
No! Go take a shower and change
before your Uncle start with you again
Yes, Madam
Chris, so nice of you to visit us
Auntie, is the dessert good?
Be careful, it's hot
Sze-ka, have some dessert!
Sure
Hi
My boyfriend Chris, my cousin Sze-ka
Hello
Did you buy this? Thanks
I haven't seen you before
She doesn't live here
I like your hair
Good for you
Chris, have some more
That's a nice perfume
What brand is it?
Put it clown, Chris! Go home!
But I'm not finished
Quit now or your nose will start to bleed
Call me when you get home
Bye!
Leaving already?
Why don't you let him stay?
That's Sze-ka's specialty
We started with dessert
Someone started to get fresh
and now look at this
I brought my boyfriend home
Why are you dressed like that?
I didn't do anything!
If you're hot for a man
Go outside, don't bring it home
Kuen, don't say that!
She does that every time
You're real funny
I didn't do anything
This is outrageous!
Stay out of this
I don't care if you're a slut
Just stay away from my boyfriend
You're crazy!
I'm going now
You can get married tomorrow
Sze-ka, don't go...
Don't worry, Auntie! You're cool
I'll come see you sometime
Sze-ka
I should never go back
It's much better here! Great!
I'm sorry
Go away! You make me wait every time!
What's wrong with you?
I'm just a little late!
That's what you always say
Must I wait for you every time?
No, I promise this is the last time
I've had enough!
Thank God I got away in time
softy...
Tissue paper!
Damn! It's not coming out!
Look at the curry stain!
On my belly button!
I better take a shower
This is the ladies room, why are you here?
I'm sorry... may I rob you?
Are you crazy?
I'm sorry... can I take a shower?
Get out, fatso!
Don't move! I'm HIV positive!
Don't blame me if I prick you
I won't! I'm stiff as a board
Is this a joke?
Just tell me what you don't like
Why these stupid games?
I don't believe this!
I need a tissue!
What's this?
here it is!
You broke my lucky bracelet!
That's why this is happening!
Go to hell!
I'm not that stupid
I'll chew you out and shower at your place
Anyone home?
Hello? Anyone here?
I'm returning the keys
Hello? Anyone?
I need to take a shower
I take that as a yes!
You finally pick up!
Where have you been?
My wife is sick and canceled the trip
If she's not going
Can't you come out?
I have to be with her, lady!
I'm telling you now
I'm sick too, I want you here now!
Be reasonable
You know I'm married
So?
We know the rules of this game
Rules my ass! Go to Hell!
What's up, Ching?
Yeah...
Fine! I'll leave you alone
Hey!
You're talking to me?
Fix my toilet!
Wait!
What? What is it?
Wait for me! Back in a flash!
Hang on...
Hurry! Will she like this?
Better grab a few more!
Damn! It's locked!
Hello? Anyone there?
Anyone?
Open up!
Ching, pick up!
Open the door!
Damn! Pick up!
Let me fix your toilet!
Shut up! It's late! Go to hell!
It's me, call me back!
I've been calling you all night
Pulling another all-nighter
I'll call you tomorrow
It's dawn!
This is so good! Shit!
What are you doing here?
I'm returning your keys
This is breaking and entering
It's criminal
I'm just returning the keys!
Jane...
Sorry! Am I interrupting?
You left the key outside
You're hurting me!
If you pose as my wife
I'll forget about the breaking and entering
You're crazy
You don't have to do or say anything
I just need your reaction
I'll take care of the rest
or I'm calling the cops
Alright! It's your lucky day
Have some tea?
She's your wife, Heung-yan?
Yes
I wanted to attend the wedding
But I was tied up
That's OK. Work must come first
I got your present
the cruise package to the Caribbean
Thanks so much
When are you leaving?
I wanted time off
But I have many jobs lined up
The firm makes a lot less when I'm away
Being busy proves your ability
This is a nice flat
Looks like your firm is doing well
Just reasonable profits
It's not the top accounting firm
but it's hard to say what's coming
We're in the same business
Perhaps we can work together someday
Such a small world
I'm sure we'll meet again
What's keeping you busy these days?
Lining up aerospace projects
in some Northern European countries
especially navigation satellites
A bit of a headache
We can't agree on some loose change
About 100-200 millions USD
100-200 millions? Are you for real?
then you should be busy
Why are you in Hong Kong?
We can't agree on some terms
So I flew in to settle them
I knew you didn't come to see us
When were you here last time?
Must have been 5 years ago
When we buried Daddy
At least you made it to the funeral
I have some preparation work to do
I better head back to the hotel
I won't detain you
Let's try to meet up before you leave
You haven't said a word
We'll talk next time we meet
I'll see you out! Bye!
What's wrong?
I get bad breath from keeping my mouth shut
Is that really your mother?
The things you say!
Are you sure she's your mother?
You can sense the bitterness
from a mile away, pal!
That's none of your business
You still haven't told me
Why are you here wearing my clothes?
Fine! I'll go change
Hey!
What now?
I want to say you did a good job
Thank you
I want you to keep this up
Until that woman is gone
Are you begging? It'll cost you
I want you to beg! Come on!
How much?
$5,000
No problem
Per day
No problem
How about $10,000 a day?
Here's $10,000
That's 2 days' down payment
You take this job, you go by my rules
If you break them, you'll get nothing
What sort of rules?
In front of that woman
No alcohol, smoking and chewing gum
and don't dangle your feat
What?
K.O. Fong's wife will not do any of the above
Why? Are you embarrassed?
Do I need training classes?
Of course
I'm paying you $5,000 a day
You must do what you're supposed to
From now on, you're on stand by
You show your face when I call you
If necessary, you have to spend the night here
Until that woman leaves
then the deal is off
and we go our separate ways
Deal!
I have a splitting headache
I'm aching all over! What the hell for?
Ching
Uncle Chan
Is your toilet fixed?
I'm good at it!
Want me to take a look tonight?
Don't over exert yourself
Leave that for a young man
I don't know about plumbing
If you need help with computers
Call me. I'm good
Stay away from computers, kid
You'll become anti-social
Go home and read a book
I'm really good
What's wrong with these people?
Drop by my empty flat at 5 o'clock
and check the toilet
It hasn't been used for a while
What's going on?
Everyone's talking about the toilet
Are you alright?
The whole world knows
He fixed your toilet at 4 a.m.
Get up, asshole!
Listen! I didn't mean to run off
The door was locked
You didn't answer the phone
I've been here all night
I was waiting for you
Shut up!
Why did you bad-mouth me?
I didn't...
Why is everyone talking about my toilet?
I didn't
Sze-ka? I'm arguing with Pang downstairs
Listen to me... Ching!
Sit!
What? You want clothes or pictures?
Both? What do you need them for?
This is everything about me
all the schools I went to
my graduation and the awards I won
When I was sick
Memorize them, I'll quiz you
Are you serious?
This is worse than an exam, pall
Your turn, tell me about yourself
Tai Sze-ka, high school graduate
I was in sales, a receptionist, promoter...
That' enough
I'll make something up
Why do I have to lie?
Just tell her like it is!
Just do as I say and no questions
I must, what if your mother asks me
I need to know what you're thinking
If I don't know the answer
I'll blow my cover
She won't ask about this
She only cares about money and work
When I was 12
She left me and Daddy for the U.S.
And she never came back
She's so irresponsible
I don't even want to see her
You put up an act to impress her?
No, this is not an act
I earned all this with my ability
Hello? OK... sure! Bye
Let's go
Go where?
That woman is coming for dinner
She wants to try your cooking
Me?
Yes
What do you think?
I'll take these 2
Where are you going?
Shop for food
I got everything
Rack of lamb from New Zealand
Lobster from Boston
Goose liver from France
Caviar from Russia
and a bottle rad wine from Bordeaux
Think!
She's used to all that in the States
Feeding that to her is boring
Saute crabs with ginger and scallions
steamed grouper
and wash it down with a few beers
This is not a food stand
It's called local flavor, buddy!
Is this my house or yours?
Which one of us is posing as your wife?
Move aside, Honey!
Caviar is nothing compared to fresh grouper
I told you I don't want food stands
I want hotel style
I'm the expert on taste
Don't get personal!
Fine! We'll do our own dishes
I'd like to see that woman roll up her sleeves
And eat your crabs with her hands
We'll see
Go change!
Into what?
I'll show you
Must I wear this?
It looks nice, very feminine!
Really?
Yes, feminine
Are you sure? I don't think so
What's that! Are you crazy?
Of course not!
That's how they do it
People stick together like this
What's the point if they're a mile apart?
It doesn't look like you
Why? It's me
and this... hold this for me
Sorry, K.O.
Something came up
Let's re-schedule! Bye!
Is she serious? Damn!
Calling it off with a phone call?
The trouble we went through...
It's alright
We made a lot of food
We still have to eat
We'll wash them down with a few beers
along with the unhappy memories
Forget it, OK?
I don't mind
It's been like that all these years
Every time it's a no-show
It's either she's sick or it's work
She missed my high school and college graduations
inauguration of the company
She was never there
Including my wedding
She's not the only one who didn't show
I feel bad for you
I don't feel bad
I'm giving up on her
You can't be serious!
What's this?
Hi Honey! Eat your breakfast
What's with the dolls?
According to our contract, you can't...
This Sunshine Doll is efficacious
Look at the sun
You'll feel much better in the sun
And my sunshine breakfast
You'll forget about everything
I don't care about the dolls
This flat costs $10,000 per square feet
These things ruin the style
Take them down after breakfast
Have you any idea
These costs $10,000 a piece?
Don't be so mean!
I get no thanks for my work
I shouldn't have answered the call
What call?
Your Jane called about a ball tonight
I know you wanted to see her
So I said yes on your behalf
Try this on!
We still have a lotto buy
Why? It's not my style
I don't care
As long as it's my style
I need a partner for the ball
We'll rub shoulders with celebrities
The way you look...
Stop the bullshit
Fine, I'll try this on...
You should wear a dress, you look nice
Really? I want them shorter
How about this, OK?
Your manners...
Say no more! I'll take this one
No! We'll go somewhere else
What?
Hi Jane
Hi
What are you saying to Frankie?
He's one of our major clients
Clients are free to walk around
He'll be my major client soon
What?
He knows about the aerospace projects
He's very interested
He's considering letting us handle his audits
You came here to steal my clients
How dare you show up at my house?
You're too arrogant
This just goes to prove
I was right about you all along
Mark my word
You'll regret what you've done
Excuse me
I don't care
I need an answer in 15 minutes
Hello? Thank you
Bye!
Hi Frankie
Hello, K.O.
Jane, I just got word
Your accounting firm in the U.S.
is being sued by a client for negligence
Is that true?
I guess it's a different story
If you have a backer
Right, Frankie?
Excuse me
Don't you think you're...
What can I do for you, Frankie?
better give your business to someone you trust
The market is up this year
I'm afraid our fees will be higher
No problem? Excellent!
Let's sit down and settle the details
That's the business world
It's about profits and losses
That's cruel
She would have done the same
Congratulations! Nice move!
Thanks. I bet you're shocked to see
the business you value so much
mined in 30 minutes by your own son
There's something I'll never learn
I can never be cold blooded
Hey...
I only want to know
You left me and Daddy all these years
Do you ever have regrets?
Hi
You look different!
I'm really not a PR manager
I sell beer at food stands and bars
by the bottle
I'm a beer promoter
Why would my son marry you?
He didn't
What?
He paid me to pose as his wife
The bride left him at the altar
How did that happen?
He has to look good
Especially in front of you
You got your money, the show is over
Why are you telling me this?
I feel sorry for both of you
I don't know what you're doing
I feel bad about the way he treated you
I don't blame him
He won fair and square
You did it on purpose
I'm an irresponsible mother
I deserve to be punished
He was right about me
Do you know he cares about you?
You make a phone call about dinner
He acted like he was going to war
When you canceled
He looked like someone died
My parents died when I was young
I can't stand to see people
piss away things that mean a lot to them
and then get upset about it
You should talk it out
instead of hiding it in
My instincts tell me
You love your son very much
It's my retribution
You told me more than you should have
Watch out, you won't get paid for it
I'm taking the last flight home
I better go
Hey, what's the matter?
I feel dizzy
Hey... Jane!
Hello Andrew, what is it?
I just heard
You asked me to check the U.S. firm
that was being sued by the client
They settled out of court yesterday
Yesterday? Alright, thanks!
Jane should know about the settlement
Why didn't she defend herself?
Well?
Shouldn't you be celebrating?
Why are you drinking alone?
Our contract is over
Pick up the cheque, leave the key
You can go
Keep it! I can't take it
I committed a major breach
I went to see your mother
You wanted to know if she had any regrets
The answer is inside
That's a copy of her check up
Cancer of the uterus!
She refused treatment
She was so silly
She'd rather be tormented by the disease
as some form of punishment
If that's true
Why did she try to steal my client?
Don't be stupid!
If that's what she wanted
Why would she laugh and cry at the same time?
I lost my parents when I was a kid
Family means nothing to me
Even I knew that love is not measured by a computer
It's a matter of the heart
Don't say I didn't warn you
She's leaving tonight
You can still make it to the airport
Jane, why didn't you go see a doctor?
Health was never my priority
If business means that much to you
Why didn't you bother to explain
the lawsuit was settled out of court?
I know my son is very capable
I wanted to see for myself
That's why I flaw in for this deal
I have my answer now
I'm both pleased and relieved
Relieved?
If you're aver worried about me
Why didn't you come back?
I was miserable with your father
I didn't know what to do
Work was my only haven
As time want by
it became harder to face you
I muster enough courage to come back
because I'm running out of time
Mom...
Dear boy
Promise me you'll have the operation
I will, I'll come back to you alive
Sze-ka is a very nice girl
I hope to see her again
I have to go
Take care! Bye
Bye
You're still here?
Sorry, I can't part with your Jacuzzi
I want to use it again before I go
You're smiling
Everything want well with Jane?
Thank you
Here's to your completed mission
You may have the cheque
Thanks. I just want to say
This is the biggest cheque I ever had
Let's play a game
What?
It's called “I Never"
Come up with things you have never done before
If I haven't done it either
The game goes on
But if I have, I drink up
OK
I go first. I never cheated on an exam
Damn! That's a trap!
I have never been molested by a man
Ha! I know you have!
You look gay to me!
You want to try that now'?
No... your turn
I never called her "Mom", until today
How touching!
Your turn
I never had such this much fun
Same here
I never had a one night stand
Really? What are you doing? Hey...
I've never done it
Me too
