Auntie
Take your time
Ouch...!
It's killing me!
Sis, you're so heavy
You must have sprained my back
-Where are the medicated plasters? -The second drawer
Who kept them in that drawer? How am I supposed to get them?
What kind of attitude is that?
The pain is killing me
If the pain persists tomorrow, go to a traditional masseur
That goes without saying
It's so painful. I'm not sure if I can even sleep tonight
I'll rub it with medicated oil after Auntie's finished eating
I thought you'd forgotten this mother of yours
Tomorrow? Time?
Okay. No problem. I've got it
Yuping!
It wasn't Zhengyu. Are you happy or disappointed?
Isn't it for your own good?
Then you should respect me and stop eavesdropping on me
Look at you! This is how my daughter is treating her mother
It's all over a man
Let...her...be
I will let her be if she's found a decent man
But that Du Zhengyu is rotten to the core
How can I marry my daughter off to him?
Be more generous
Sis, don't tell me your brain is clogged up too
How can you be too generous to your future son-in-law?
I reckon Lion King must have made you mellow
Back to this subject
Lion King is trying to cash in by trying to be nice to you
You were rather hostile to him. How could he possibly be nice to you?
Firstly, he's trying to win your heart
Secondly, by taking care of you, he's trying to get near to her
You're there lying in the bed
You won't even know what they're doing out there
-Mum, how can you say that? -Was I wrong?
The last time they were feigning pregnancy
Who knows it could be the real one next time round?
You won't be able to say no when that comes
Come on, that's totally uncalled for!
What I've said is the truth
You dare say you never touched Kelian's hand?
That's our problem. What has it got to do with you, Kay Poh?
You called me Kay Poh!
Quiet!
Lion King...
Mind...your...own...business
Ma, you can talk so much?
I...can...even...start...scolding
Lanying is one of our family
You're an outsider
You have no right to call her name
Did you hear that? You're an outsider. Nobody takes you as a son-in-law
Ma, have an early night
I'm outside if you need any help
Go...back...to...your...home
Your mum wants me to go home. I will go
I'll lock the door after you
Don't you get upset
Your mum doesn't accept me
But it doesn't mean she won't in future
Maybe your mum is worried that I might get too excited and make you pregnant
Something like what your Auntie says
Since I'm not here to help you carry her, you must be more careful
Bend your knees before you carry her or you could hurt your back
Come on, don't be silly
Take good care of yourself. Don't make yourself too tired
She likes people to massage her on the shoulder
But you must do it gently. She'll feel pain
If you want me to take her to her physio appointments, just call me
And if there is any emergency, you must inform me regardless of the hour
I will come straightaway
"I'm going
"I won't call you. I don't want your mum to feel unhappy
"Call me when she's asleep, OK?"
What? She really asked Lion King to leave? Stubborn!
When will you come to your senses?
You threw Lion King out the moment you felt a little better
Kelian never blames you when you're so biased towards Keke
When you were sacked, she left her job too
Now that you're less mobile, she looks after you all day long
Where can you find such a nice daughter?
Sis finally found someone she really loves
Yet you're so determined to break them up, aren't you?
Have you ever thought you might die one day?
Who'll take care of Sis?
Don't tell me you're going to bury her together with you
-Keli, stop it -Let me go on
Sis is different from me
She'd never fight for her right. She puts up with your prejudices quietly
What kind of mother are you?!
Keli, Mum hasn't fully recovered. Please don't...
Keke has gone away and I'm a divorcee as of today
Isn't it good if you at least have a daughter who is blessed?
Do you want to see all your three daughters end up like you?
My husband's left me and my daughter doesn't want me
My life is a total failure
You and I are not fit to be mothers
Sis, stop making sacrifices for this family
She won't feel grateful
Look Lion King up and bring back your happiness
Don't get angry, Mum
Keli was upset because she couldn't find her daughter, Jieying
I will not leave you alone
I swear, and I vouch that I will be your daughter, always
I won't leave you all alone
If you don't want me to marry Lion King, I won't
This is the business policy proposal we have offered...
to meet your company's requirements
The policy would include fire and other hazards, theft and pilferage,
monetary losses, public liability and labour compensation
-See if you have any suggestions -Labour compensation?
Nobody in our company earns less than $1,600
I don't think we need to spend this sum of money
I'm still not very happy with the premium
If you'd consider all the five basic policies I've proposed,
we'll be able to offer you a 30% discount
Mrs Yap, have a cup of coffee
I don't use cups other people have used
And I never drink coffee
What about mineral water?
I can accept this brand. Thanks
Mrs Yap, these are the amended policies. Please look at...
Are you testing my eyesight?
I wouldn't want to waste our time
If you simply want me to read from this screen, thank you very much
I have another meeting to attend
Mrs Yap, I know every second of your time counts
Would you be prepared to give me 3 minutes?
Actually, I have summarized the suggestions
See if they meet your requirements
Present a proposal to me based on your suggestions
-Call me when it's done -Thank you
She couldn't decide what she wanted
A few meetings I had with her were all inconclusive
She is one of those in the market
People call her 'Problem Maker'
You did spend time finding out who she is
You even know what she eats and drinks
If we can win a major client with the little time we've put in,
I think it's worth it
Keke, congrats. You did a very good job
Whether we can pull it off depends on the proposal
-The client sounded rather positive -Let's hope so
We'll have dinner later by way of a celebration
Not today. Some other time perhaps
I'm going over to Accounts
Ruisheng, want to have dinner?
You're meeting someone?
That's okay
Keke has changed. She's much more humble
She would take the initiative to ask me questions
And she's no longer so unfriendly when she talks to me
If Keke weren't so aloof,
I'm sure she'd have done much better than what she has
She is indeed a smart girl
You're not worried she might overtake you one day?
Why should I be?
I might even give her more opportunities to realize her potential
Not every girl can do that
You're one of the most generous and unselfish ones I've come across
There are times I can be very bitchy. Would you like to taste it?
Well, I'm only an average girl
I'm happy I have quite a good job and a handsome boyfriend like you
Don't think so small of yourself. Everybody has his strong points
I think I have to give you a few more points today
I'm not Keke. I'm not so career-minded
I just want to be an ordinary girl and spend more time with you
Don't you think girls nowadays would devote more time to their career...
than to relationships?
That's because they've not bumped into someone reliable
But I have. I will stick to you like a leech
You can never run away. I won't let go
I promised to buy sweaters for Uncle Ming and Uncle Butto
Theirs are worn out
Let's go in to buy a few
But I have an appointment with one of my clients
I may not go to the home
I'll send them for you
Mister, your bill came to over $300. We have a free gift for you
For you
Very nice but it doesn't go well with me
You'd better give it to another person
Still working on your report?
Almost there
Had your dinner?
It's 10 plus
I thought of cooking instant noodles. But I was carried away
That's you. You can forget about your meals when you start working
Flu?
A minor case. A few late nights in a row might have caused it
-Taken any medicine? -I don't know where your medicine is
I'll get it for you
You'd better have some food before taking the medicine
I'll make some porridge for you
-Can I give you a hand? -I'm almost there
Porridge would take a longer time
I'm cooking macaroni for you. Is it OK?
I've boiled some milk for you. Warm your stomach with it first
-Let me do it -It's hot
-Did you get burnt? -It's all right
Rub it with ointment
It's very nice
You like it?
Take it
Thank you
Why did you buy so many sweaters?
-For old folks -Going to the home tomorrow?
I'm going there early. I told them I'd prepare breakfast
I'll go with you
Didn't you say I'd changed? I will show you in practice
You should start with showing concern towards the elderly in your home
It's been some time since you left. Don't you miss home?
I won't go back before I've had something to show them
Haven't you done something you're proud of today?
-How can that be counted? -Can't be counted?
Does it mean you've to be up there as manager...
before you consider it an achievement?
I will go home as soon as I've got Mrs Yap to sign on the dotted line
Jason!
Keke, first give these sweaters out to the folks over there
What are you looking at?
Don't tell me you've rekindled the old flame?
I let you have He Wei, mind you
We'll part friendship if you let her down
Come on, Keke and I are just friends
Why did she come with you? Have you forgotten the incident?
Can you give her a chance to make amends?
Will she?
These sweaters are from Ruisheng
Try it. I can get it changed if it doesn't fit you
Like it?
We've just learnt a dance. Shall we show it to her?
Don't you feel warm wearing those sweaters?
Indeed it's warm. Let us start stripping
Come, join us
So you know line-dance too. Who taught you?
Ruisheng
How are you?
It's been a long time. Take a seat
You still know who I am
Of course. You're such a pretty lady
You must be Ruisheng's girlfriend
The lady who pulled you along for the line dance is Auntie Wendy
She seemed quite cheerful. Doesn't she have a family?
She had a son who was killed in a traffic accident
In the same month, her husband was so aggrieved that he died of a heart attack
She attempted suicide a few times at home
She was saved every time she did it
Her relatives sent her to the home out of concern
What a tough life
Losing our family members is a painful experience
We should cherish them when they're still with us
Are you alluding to me?
It's only a reminder
Life is so unpredictable
Don't you worry. Kelian is taking good care of my mother. She'll be fine
I somehow feel that you have special feelings for older people
When I was young,
my parents had to leave home early and come home late to earn a living
Fortunately, an old neighbour of ours took very good care of me
He cooked for me
Even though he was no relative of mine, he doted on me
I told myself that as soon as I have my first pay packet,
I will take him to travel
However, he passed away even before I completed my secondary education
You never talked about it
I did but you somehow missed it
Do you feel the pain of not having your parents around...
when you're ready to take care of them?
"Losing our family members is a painful experience
"We should cherish them when they're still with us"
"Do you feel the pain of not having your parents around...
when you're ready to take care of them?"
Jieying...?
No news yet from the police. But Keli is looking for her every day
It could be from Keli
Keke...!
"Where are you?"
"I'm still in Shanghai"
-How are you? -"I'm fine. Is Fat Mama okay?"
Are you ready? Mrs Yap is waiting at the meeting room
-Coming -Make it snappy
What's wrong, Ma?
Sorry, Ma. I forgot to take down her phone number
"It's me, Kelian. How's your mum?"
"You don't like to receive my calls?"
It's not that
-"Your mum is around?" -Hm
"Okay. Bye-bye"
Don't get upset, Mum
Maybe trunk calls from Shanghai get cut off easily
I'm sure she'll call again
Come on, stop looking so gloomy
Come with me to the NTUC Club
We'll sing and dance and all your troubles will vanish
I don't feel like going out
You're alone and you can't visit Kelian
Watching TV alone and going to bed alone - how boring
Let's forget about the club
I have a dinner voucher. I'll give you a treat
Will you start looking up?
I'm here to keep you company. My tummy was full, you know
Can you at least be more cheerful than these mushrooms here?
You carry on. I have tummyache
Jieying!
Jieying - it's you indeed
Why did you run away from me? Come home with me
Uncle, mind your own business
She is one of us. You need my permission to take her away
Oh boy, how old are you?
You'd better learn to grow up before ganging yourselves
Stop being so naive. Come back with me
I'll show you if I've grown up
You want to be beaten too? Get lost
Come back with me
Uncle Lion King!
Uncle Lion King...
Your drink, Mum
Not to worry, Mum. Keke could be very busy
And it may not be so easy to call from Shanghai
First do some exercise
I'll take you to Shanghai to visit Keke when you're well
Kelian, I don't allow you to see Lion King - don't you feel upset?
I do
But if you say I shouldn't see him, I won't
Will you do it too if I ask you to end your life?
You really want me to die?
You're truly a gone case
I wanted to provoke you
Where is your temper? Aren't you capable of flaring up?
A woman without any temper will be bullied by her husband
You've been soaking up so much from me for so many years
Are you going to do the same with your husband for the rest of your life?
Mum, are you saying you're not against my going out with Lion King?
I'm not against it. I don't want you to be taken advantage of
Lion King won't bully me
All men are the same
They are yes-men before they get married
But they become different after that
No, Lion King won't do that
He could be a little loud, bad-tempered and impulsive,
but he is rather honest
Wasn't Xueliang honest too? What happened to him?
Forget it. You can never be made to fight and scream
If Lion King ill-treats you, I will stand up for you
Ma, are you saying Lion King and I...
Call him now and ask him to take me to the clinic tomorrow
It must be him
What? Lion King is warded in a hospital?
Sis!
-How is it? -Lion King is still in a coma
What did the doctor say?
There is a blood-clot in his brain. He has to be operated on
Is it dangerous?
There is always some danger in any brain surgery
Lion King!
Open your eyes, please. I have something to tell you
I have something very important to tell you
You'll be very happy if you hear it
My mum has given us the green light
We can get married
You must wake up as soon as you can
We can get married
My mum no longer stands in the way
-Mummy...! -Jieying!
Thank goodness you're all right
Can we go?
We need her to be a court witness. We'll let you know the date
Fine. Let's go
Mummy and Daddy, I'm sorry
I'd long wanted to go home but they kept threatening me
It's all right so long as you know where you've gone wrong
Be more careful when you make friends, OK?
You must be hungry. Let me take you to eat something
Mummy, I know I was wrong. Go ahead and scold me
I promise I'll stop scolding you
Forgive Daddy and let him come home. Don't live apart, will you?
Children should leave adults to handle their problems
You should do well in school and be a good student
Why can't you forgive Daddy when you've forgiven me?
Children can be forgiven for not knowing what's wrong and what's right
Adults are aware of their wrongdoings. They can't be forgiven
Give Daddy another chance. He won't do it again
Leave us alone, OK?
I'll take you home to have a bath and lunch
We'll visit Uncle Lion King at the hospital after that
-Boss, 3 kgs of fragrant rice -Coming
Hubby...
Hubby, this is too much!
Du Zhengyu is giving offers again
His 10-kg bag of rice is a dollar cheaper than ours
Well, they're cheaper on certain items while we're cheaper on others
Different people have different ways in running a business
Yes, I'll buy the 3-kg packet if I can't carry the 10-kg one
Some customers forget to carry their purse. We give them credit
They're rather happy, right?
Right. They'd be even happier if you offer a door-to-door service
Let's make it $5. Do come again
It's toothaches and anger
I will get back at him even if I'm 6 feet underground
Go to a dentist
Get back at him? A kungfu movie or what?
Because we stopped him from seeing Xiangxiang,
so he keeps giving offers to get back at us
Even his name is targeted at us
How so?
The meaning of Zhengyu is raining on and off
As a result, we won't have so many customers
To think you could even say that
What are you up to?
Auntie, only 2 packets of rice per person
Why is he allowed 6 packets?
She was lying
Because he made a deal with you people, didn't he?
Did he?
He bought 6 packets because he had 3 coupons
Here are 10 coupons. I want 20 packets of rice
Only 2 packets per person
Another lie. Why could that person buy 6 packets?
Because three of them came
Are you people buying rice?
You'll buy 2 packets for me...
Auntie, the rice is so heavy. How will you carry them?
Leave them here. I'll push them over to your place
Don't ever think that when you're nice to me, I will...
I'll leave the cart with you
You want me to use the cart...
so that you'll send the security guards after me!
I will pick it up from you later
Are you finding an excuse to lure Xiangxiang away again? Fat hope!
Should you come to my place again, I'll call the police...
and charge you with sexual harassment and depravity!
Venting your anger at him and getting yourself so exhausted
Is it worth it?
I will fight it out with Du Zhengyu as long as I'm still breathing
A packet is a dollar cheaper but the paper is 65 cents each
Plus the taxi fare - is it all worthwhile?
I feel good!
Mr Du, you're such a rogue
Not only is my backache killing me, my toothache is getting worse!
But your toothache was there even before that
I say he causes it and he does. Aren't you giving me medicine?
Medicine isn't to be taken just anyhow
But I'm aching all over. Are you out to pain me to death?!
So much the better. I'll find another wife
So you've spoken the truth at last
I will stay alive by hook or by crook!
