It's scalding hot! What's going on?
It's freezing cold!
It's freezing cold...
A heater... move over...
Kimochi( So good)...
This is your pillow
Give me back mine with the lavender scent!
So this is yours.
No wonder it smells lovely like you.
Cut it out! I'm really mad this time.
Fa, the water went on and off when I was having a shower in the public bathroom,
and sometimes hot, sometimes cold.
Is the faucet back on in your bathroom again?
No water? Then go to the one downstairs.
I was just given a dressing down.
I'm the outsider here.
How would I dare install a faucet?
I can't afford to shoulder the blame for anyone catching a cold.
Fei-fei, it's noisy here. Sleep in your room
Let me warm myself a bit longer.
Do it in our room.
Don't you touch it!
I bought this heater. I need to use it.
Excuse me.
Petty...
Kiss it good bye!
Look who you married!
We've had no peace here!
She was just reacting to your harsh words.
To be honest, Yue was banned from his room, he's a victim too.
He asked for it.
But what would someone who abandoned the family know?
No use telling him about it.
Fei-fei, go to bed.
Goodnight, Uncle Foon, Uncle Yue.
Goodnight...
Yan was a cheerful and easy-going girl when she was young.
A simple magic trick could keep her happy for a whole day.
What turned her into a grumpy matron?
How could you say that?
How is it my fault?
Of course it is!
She was just thirteen when you left home.
She had to keep the family together,
and raise me and Yee.
I shouldn't lay all the blame on you.
I have my share in this too.
So it's fair that we all pay the price.
What else can we do?
Dad left us this ridiculous will.
Yan raised you.
You two should be close.
Why are you always fighting?
Too many tigresses under one roof!
She's been picking on Fa since we've been together.
I'm caught between the two.
I can only avoid her.
To be honest, your wife is a super material girl,
no way can she and a matron could get along.
Pity the collateral damage.
Super material girl?
We're not that close! Don't you call my wife names!
Take it easy. It's just a term.
They're more like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
They're natural foes.
Then I'm in trouble.
I've been kicked to the couch before a week has passed.
How will I survive nine more months?
Beats me!
Yan is here with her daughter, while her husband's in the mainland.
It won't work long-term.
She was a Daddy's girl.
If only he were alive,
everything would be find.
I'm shivering.
I need to go to bed.
Enjoy yourself. Don't catch a cold.
Thanks for your concern.
Brother Foon!
How could you just go away?
Mom's no longer around, you can't go!
I can't stay.
There are so many things I want to do,
I have my dreams. Don't you get it?
What about me?
What about Yue and Yee?
So we mean nothing to you?
I may no longer be home,
but you can still call me if anything happens.
Liar!
You think we're a burden. We'll only drag you down.
You'll never come back once you leave.
It's not about you guys.
Call me selfish. I'm a coward. I have to go.
I hate you!
I'm sorry.
One chopstick breaks easily.
It's up to you, the eldest, to unite your siblings.
A family that sticks together stays strong. Get it?
Dad, you have no idea.
Yan is not a chopstick. She's cutlery.
She's harder to bend than a chopper.
I'll never win her over.
You have not tried hard enough.
I have tried my best.
You two have to patch up before you can unite the other two.
Unite the family...
Dad, give me some time.
Model parent Mrs To is the vice-chairman of Good Mothers Society.
She knows how to nurture her son.
She puts her son first.
She picks courses that her son likes.
These monster parents...
Do they know what they are doing?
What now?
Now no flushing water. What am I going to do?
Pity the next user.
What now? Still no water?
Can't flush...
Can't wash my hands or brush my teeth...
it's driving me crazy...
Last was drinking water.
Now there's no flushing water.
Do I have to dry clean myself? I'm shivering...
Where's the cold medicine?
The second drawer.
Last two. Lucky me.
Not expired yet. Good!
What? Empty? Can't anyone fill the pot?
Can't you do it? We need to rush to the interview
What? It's not a home without water...
We don't have time for breakfast.
Finish it...
Let's go... come on...
No water in the kitchen either. Not even a drop! What's going on?
You crazy? How can there be no water? I just made oatmeal.
Come on...
I had water to brush my teeth.
Let me say it now. I'm calling a plumber.
The cost will be split among us four.
It's fine, why calla plumber? It's not working. There's no water.
Why did they all have water? Why is it just me?
Let me try it again.
My phone...
It's killing me. Why is it just me?
Where did this come from?
It tastes fishy.
Still in my throat.
That's my menstruation drink!
What's wrong with you?
My drink! Now I have to wash my face and my mug!
You shouldn't have put it here!
I'll hold you responsible if my nose bleeds.
Unbelievable!
Why is there water?
Why wouldn't there be?
I'm warning you, hands off my drinks,
and stop spitting at me!
Now I have to take a shower and wash my hair again.
I need to pump my stomach.
What now?
Mang Lung Electrical 24-hour maintenance hotline.
Chu Chan-Chan, please.
Speaking. What can I do for you?
This is Po, from Yau Po House.
I see, the wicked elder brother.
Hey, I'm a customer. What kind of attitude is this?
Mr Po, what can I do for you?
You came to take out the faucet yesterday.
Our taps have since become erratic.
Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't.
Taking the faucet out won't affect the water flow
Whatever. The fact is, our taps have since become erratic.
Shouldn't you come up and take a look?
I have another appointment.
I'll come in fifteen minutes.
Hurry. Bye.
Mentor, the faucet job I did yesterday needs to be followed up.
I'm going to have a look.
What about the hotel drain blockage?
Will you make it?
Manager Chow likes your meticulousness.
He asked for you.
It's not good to be late.
Don't worry. Be responsible, right?
I'll go there as soon as I finish checking my friend's place.
I won't be late.
I know, that means you'll skip lunch.
Let Kuen go check.
Then you won't have to rush.
I'm not free.
Don't worry about her.
She's known as the Iron Lady.
No job is too far or too small for her.
And she's on call24 hours.
What's skipping a lunch or two to her?
Kuen...
Don't worry, Mentor. I'm not hungry.
I'll send Chun and Bor over first.
Don't be late.
Don't worry. Leave it to me.
See? No water.
It's on. Still no water.
Check it more carefully.
It's on.
Turn it off and try again.
What's this? Water.
So it's fine.
Mr Po, no more pranks.
I'm in a hurry.
Is this a joke? I don't believe it...
What now? Stop it...
Help...
It's slippery...
Watch out...
What now?
Mr Po, please.
It's working fine.
Are you delusional?
What now?
I paid you. You have to fix it. Or don't dream of leaving.
You'll see.
Make way or talk to my two buddies.
What buddies? Send them over.
Here they are. My two buddies. Well?
You're armed to the teeth.
Who am I to fight you?
Don't waste my time.
What's going on?
Hey... What now?
The door won't open.
What? Let me see...
Oh no!
It's locked from outside.
How could this happen?
Get out of the way.
You can pick locks, right? Just dismantle it.
My tools are on the other side.
It's fate.
Now we have to wait for people to come home.
Am I jinxed or what?
Or haunted.
That's right...
The two are still around?
What are you doing?
Climbing down?
You are a mere mortal, not Spiderman.
Be careful...
She made it! Amazing!
Manager Chow I'm sorry.
She's on her way.
Since she doesn't care to be on time,
she must not care for this work.
I'll get someone else.
Please don't...
Take it easy...
We can take care of it.
Just do it.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. Just give it a try.
Oh no...
I wanted it unblocked, not blasted!
Now the stench is everywhere.
I'm going to complain about you two.
I'm sorry.
They messed it up.
I'll bear the responsibility.
Come on, what time is it now?
What took you so long?
I used to think you were responsible, that's why I gave you the job.
It's a mess now.
No more jobs for Mang Lung ever again!
Manager Chow... Save it.
Hear me out...
I'm sorry you were given an earful.
It's Manager Chow's fault.
We wanted to wait for you. But he wouldn't have it.
It's not his fault.
It's that fatso's fault.
I know it's you two.
Not done yet?
I know who you are.
Bak Wah and Yi Lan.
Cantonese movie stars.
You two were once somebodies.
How could you be so childish?
I knew it was you two.
I dare you two to come out and confront me.
Stop playing pranks behind my back.
Come on, show yourselves.
Being ghosts doesn't give you a free pass.
You're just gutless ghosts!
Don't tease me. I'm just a newbie.
Really?
Talisman!
I still have unused ones...
Don't come near me... see my talismans?
Thanks...
Ghosts!
Don't come near me... talismans here...
They're blessed...
They'll turn you into dust...
I dare you to try... come on...
He thinks such things can stop us. How naive of him.
I dare you to try.
Really...
How come?
The willow twig worked!
You were driven away!
That bit actor with his blood-stained twig?
It scared her so we left.
I was too chicken.
Live and learn!
I didn't know ghosts can get scared.
I thought it was the other way round.
Why not?
I'm warning you.
No more bit actors creating such farces,
and scaring her again.
Or it won't be just taps or doors.
Prepare for a battle royale.
So it really was you two.
What have I done to deserve this?
You asked for it.
You left your dad to his loneliness.
We taught you a lesson for our old friend's sake.
You two were close with my dad?
He was a very kind man.
He took care of us and took us to tea.
Still, I'm not my dad.
He's passed away.
I'm the resident now.
I don't think you two should show up anymore.
You scare me, and you'll scare my siblings.
You've just moved in and want to evict us? Dream on.
Please don't! We have nowhere else to go.
What? You two live next door, don't you?
I've seen you two on the balcony.
This building belongs to me.
I can go wherever I like.
If I want to water plants or house sit, why can't I?
Actually that's not our home.
This one is.
Normally, we're invisible to the living.
You caught us by surprise that day you moved in when we were watching TV.
You startled me.
Excuse me.
May I know who you are?
You were spared the fright when we pretended to be your next door neighbors.
Why do you mean? I'm still scared
What do you want?
Do you mean to stay put?
We've been living here for decades.
Want to evict us?
Your dad was courteous to us when he moved in.
It had been peaceful between us.
Who do you think you are? I...
Can't you see? Fate puts us together.
Shouldn't we live in peace?
We're just like family. We should take care of one another.
Family?
We're of two different realms!
Please, leave me alone.
Please go away.
Evicting us? Bring it on.
I don't know who will fall victim to my next prank.
Is that a threat?
Some people need a bit of persuasion.
What do you want?
I heard you talking with some people.
I've been talking to Dad and Mom for an hour. I'm done.
It's your turn. Dad wants to talk to you.
Hey, don't just eat fries.
Have some corn and milk.
OK. You have some too.
No, I don't have an appetite.
Be honest with me.
You kept your mouth shut during the interview.
You wouldn't answer the principal's questions.
But you answered them very well during our rehearsal.
You said we're a happy family of three.
Daddy and Mommy want you be a student at this school.
I miss Daddy. If I get accepted,
I won't be able to see him.
Silly girl, what did I tell you?
It's just a short separation of nine months.
Once he gets the money for the factory, he'll move back to Hong Kong.
Really? We can really be together again?
Of course. Have I ever lied to you?
Come on, eat. OK.
Sit down...
See what you want to order.
Mrs Chung, you're lucky.
You know the Principal of St. Lily.
The interview was just a formality.
Unlike us, we have to fight hard.
The number of new admissions is limited.
I got help from my husband's business acquaintance.
I heard the students there have to study very hard.
They need to go to tuition classes after school.
Back in our day, we could watch Captain Po after we finished our homework.
Have you seen his Facebook page?
Yes. He said a Mrs X doesn't practice what she preaches.
Supposedly she's a socialite.
Do you know who she is?
I don't.
I think he has a point.
That's why he gets invitations to give talks in so many schools.
I heard he's a regular guest at St Lily's PTA activities.
If my daughter is accepted,
I can meet him and ask him for his autograph.
Dad, you keep speaking to me when I'm asleep.
Yet you failed to mention the resident ghosts here.
What am I supposed to do?
It makes the house uninhabitable.
Who is it?
It's me, Yan.
Hold on.
What is it?
May I come in?
I just made a drink. Care to have some?
It's hot lemonade with honey.
How handy. I have a cough.
Isn't it very soothing for the throat?
I can tell you bought the honey on the cheap.
It was marked-down for being near expiry.
It saved money. You can tell?
Of course I can.
It's sweet but lacks any honey aroma.
It has no life.
Please, get good stuff for Fei-fei.
Try New Zealand honey.
If it's not wholesome for Fei-fei,
it's a waste of money, however cheap.
What can I do for you?
Do you know St Lily's Principal Lam?
I do. I've given talks there.
That's great.
Bianca went for an interview there. Her performance was not very good.
Could you...
Call Principal Lam and ask her to accept Fei-fei?
That's right.
St Lily is an elite school.
It'll help her get into a Band One secondary school later.
I'm sorry. I can't help you.
So I overestimated your status in the education sector.
Forget what I said.
On the contrary,
if I call Principal Lam, Fei-fei will be accepted.
Why won't you then?
You don't know me, do you?
There's nothing I hate more than cronyism.
That's right. You're a man of principle.
But Bianca is your niece.
You can make an exception for her.
It's precisely because she's my niece
that I shouldn't make this call.
Since Principal Lam doesn't think she's right for the school,
what's the point of squeezing her in?
Do you understand?
I do. It's about your principles.
Sorry for disturbing you.
The honey is too cheap for you.
Excuse me.
Mommy...
She's mad because of something I did?
It's not your fault.
He's the one that made her mad.
Elite school or non, it doesn't make much difference.
Several friends of mine have two master degrees under their belts.
So what? They're still unemployed.
Like you, with lousy degrees and lousy jobs
your friends are now losers in the society.
Have you ever heard of getting a leg up?
Alright... just my two cents.
Feel free to ignore it.
I can empathize with Yan.
Getting into an elite school is like getting a good parking space.
It saves a lot of walking.
Don't bother. You won't be able to light them.
Allow me. Alright.
See? Lit.
Smartass.
Dad, I know Fei-fei is your favorite.
Yet someone is refusing to make a simple call for her.
If it were me, if I could, I would say yes to a thousand calls.
What now? No use glaring at me.
Yan may hate me, but there's nothing I can do.
There's something you can do. You just won't do it.
What now?
Who's Shek Kin? Who's Kwan Tak-hing? I don't get it.
Shek Kin always played the bad guy.
You're Shek Kin to your siblings.
Lam?
Kwan Tak-hing played the hero Wong Fei-hung on screen.
Your dad wanted you to be him.
You mean Dad wants me to pull strings for Fei-fei?
Come with me.
Fei-fei, look? The potted plant can fly.
It can fly to the right and to the left.
Granny, no more magic tricks for me today.
Mommy had a fight with Uncle Foon because of me.
If the school would let me try again I'd do a really good job.
That's my good girl.
Yan should have come out by now.
Is she still mad?
You know her.
She reserves her grumpiness for just one person.
She wouldn't bother when she's alone in her room.
Eat.
Uncle Foon, what are you eating?
Mushroom omelet.
Want a bite? This part is untouched.
OK.
Fei-fei, let's go for a hash brown breakfast.
Really?
Want that? Yes!
Can we go now? Yes!
Come on...
I'll pass on your breakfast today.
Next time then. Bye.
Yan, why do you have so many bags? Are you moving out?
Come on, it's no big deal.
Move out?
Fei-fei has to try out at other schools in the Mid-Levels after her ballet class.
She may end up with no school place.
Other people could care less.
But I'm worried sick. I have to rely on myself.
Why didn't you tell me Mrs X is Mrs To?
What for?
Photos of you arguing with her in the park are now online.
Now everyone knows the monster parent Mrs X is actually Mrs To.
I bet she's hopping mad.
She looks fat but I look thin in the photo.
Not practicing what she preaches?
I was telling the truth.
Let her be mad.
The truth?
The truth is, she is the fourth most influential person online.
I didn't know there was such a chart.
Am I on it? You're higher still. You're third.
Yes! I beat her.
After the news went online,
you've become number three on the most hateful person list.
Most hateful person!
Is there a freak-out chart? I'm sure you're on it.
You're still joking.
You still don't see the dire consequence.
Do you know how many mommy fans she has?
They can easily bury you.
You're now an open target online.
Facebook is a platform for posting personal comments.
What others think is not my business.
But it's my business.
Why did you have to offend Mrs To, of all people?
It wasn't easy for me to get Mr To to invest in us.
If he goes back on his word, we could go under.
Why would we go under?
Your mind is only on teaching,
you don't know how competitive our sector is.
And there's the ever-increasing rent.
We've been operating in the red for the past six months.
If he withdraws his investment, we're toast.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
You have no patience for administrative details.
So I thought I'd tell you after the problem is solved.
I never expected a fiasco like this.
Space Shuttle is our brainchild.
Mr To has made it clear,
it's either you or him.
What should we do?
It's simple.
Either him or me?
I won't let my partner down. I'll straighten it out.
Offer them your sincere apology.
Maybe they can be pacified.
Sorry, I said I'd straighten it out, not apologize to them.
I haven't done nothing wrong, why should I apologize?
We're in hot water. Give your principles a break.
Space Shuttle is going to crash and burn with you.
Crash and burn?
I'll clean up my own mess. OK?
Worse comes to worst, I'll resign.
It's not the end of the world.
You don't need to resign.
I'm sure there's a way out.
Still, stay away from the heat. Take a few days off.
I'll figure a way out.
Alright. I don't want to bump into them either.
Don't let me bump into them.
Uncle Foon.
Looking for a school? Get in.
We can hail a cab. Thanks.
I've arranged two interviews for Fei-fei.
It's about time. Get in or you'll be late.
Tardiness doesn't leave a good impression.
How come you're being so nice?
Fei-fei, do you want to go with me? Yes!
Then get in. Don't stand in the dust with your mom.
Alright.
You'll need to do a written test before the interview.
Parents please wait here.
OK.
Relax.
We've done similar tests before.
You can do it. They won't be too difficult for you.
I know Mommy.
You can do it!
You know the principal well?
Not really.
Why bring Fei-fei here for the interview
I met Principal Shum at a conference.
He agreed that students should focus on learning and not high marks.
So I thought this school would suit Fei-fei.
That means she won't accept Bianca because of you.
I want you to understand something.
Students applying for stand-by places need to take assessment tests.
It's the normal process. Do you get it?
Isn't it easier to take a shortcut?
Aren't you looking for a fair and level learning environment for Fei-fei?
Principal Shum...
Hello. Hello...
I'm Po Foon. I called you earlier.
This is my sister, Po Yan.
Hello, Principal Shum. Hello.
The girl taking the test is her daughter Mui Siu-fei.
Sorry. I was in a meeting with the school director.
I'm sorry I kept you two waiting.
I thought that voice sounded familiar. So it's really you.
You know our school director Mrs To?
He called me a monster parent online. He questioned my way of raising my son.
How could I not know him?
Mrs To, please don't let our feud affect a little girl's chance of admission.
If you had apologized early on,
I wouldn't have had to ask my husband to kick you out of Space Shuttle.
Still, you had it coming.
You only have yourself to blame.
I'm willing to pay for what I have done.
Mui Siu-fei is just a little girl.
She has nothing to do with this,
Please leave her out of it.
Principal Shum, I don't think we have stand-by places for new admissions.
We need to reserve the places for my friend's kids.
Looks like some people have come in vain.
But...
Principal Shum, it's alright. I understand.
We'll go once Fei-fei comes out.
Why didn't you tell me about this feud?
It's no big deal. What's there to tell?
We need to find Fei-fei a school.
We don't have time for petty matters.
That woman was so obnoxious.
Why should you put up with her?
I just put aside my pride for someone I care about.
Still, the saying is true.
Hell hath no worry like a woman scorned.
I don't believe she can hold sway in every school.
But, to be honest, she's not your brother's only foe.
In order to prevent history from repeating itself,
you go in with Fei-fei, I'll just wait outside.
You do know yourself.
It's not that.
I just want to avoid any collateral damage, you know
This school just now is quite a good school.
It's a through-train school.
If Fei-fei likes it, she can go directly to its secondary school.
Fei-fei's been accepted. Relieved?
I know! was really harsh. I'm sorry.
Sorry for which incident?
You've ruffled me more than once.
I mean last night.
The honey thing?
You just care about Fei-fei.
It's understandable. Thank you.
Uncle Foon... play with me...
OK.
But I'm not Uncle Foon.
I'm the almighty Captain Po.
It's in a kid's nature to play.
Too many parents think it's a waste of time.
I bumped into socialite Mrs X not so long ago.
She denied her kid the right to play.
She filled his spare time up with courses.
She thinks it's for the kid's benefit.
That's not the worst thing about this monster parent.
What's most terrible is that she doesn't practice what she preaches.
Instead of being a caring mother as she claims,
she treats her son like her puppet.
Kids look up to their parents.
Apples don't fall far from the tree.
Hubby, I found Bianca a school in Central.
We have to stay at Dad's for some time.
Has anyone seen my flu pills?
Western medicine is not wholesome.
Who was talking to me?
For me?
Herbal tea for flu.
Thank you.
Why are you being so nice?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I don't want your flu to pass to Bianca.
I thought she was mad at you.
I'm sure it's laced. Does it taste weird?
It's very sweet.
Hey, we're brothers. Lend me a blanket. This is all I've got.
A hundred.
Two hundred for half a bed as well.
Five hundred.
Deal.
Pay up.
I won't stiff you. Come on...
Don't you forget about it. OK...
Blood is thicker than water.
Sibling feuds blow over quickly.
Right...
Uncle Luk, your eldest son isn't hopeless.
You should be pleased.
It tastes fishy.
Still stuck in my throat.
What are you going to say?
Tell me now
so I won't burst out laughing.
That's my menstruation drink!
Crazy...
What's this?
The girl doing the test,
Mui Siu-fei is her mommy...
No... you're the mommy...
Mommy...
