Tonight 8 pm. sharp
Hong Kong Film Awards 1997 is started officially
Oh yes
Other than the best film, the best director,
the best actor and actress, and other awards
The award which attracts the most
attention is the Lifetime Achievement Award
Right
Tonight the winner of Lifetime Achievement Award is Xie Yuan, Brother Si
He deserved to win the award
And the presenter is
Miss Cheng Bao-Zhu who emigrated for years
Sister Bao-Zhu is my idol
I like Brother Si a lot too
Thanks
Brother Si
What do you think about
the Lifetime Achievement Award given to you?
Right
Of course I feel very happy
It's my proud
But unfortunately my wish is only half coming true
Why?
Tonight Bao-Zhu presented this award to me on the stage
But if possible
I hope the best partner of Bao-Zhu, my best friend, Li Qi
could share this award with me
But the rumors say both of you turn against each other
since a long time ago
Before this, or maybe after this, Li Qi and I are always friends forever
Qi, I wish that you can come tonight
to share this award with me
I'm waiting you
Xin, you've been practicing for the whole morning
Please help me to cut the Yukou paper quickly
Done
Throw the cigarette butt again?
Since you like to throw it, why don't you throw your son too?
Why? Let me see
I help you to mend it
Good morning everyone
Good morning
Uncle Xin, Aunt Xin

Brother Qi
Hi, Sister Hua
Hi

Only she is working at ballroom
Another room is rented to a couple
This is her room
This room is rented to a pauper called Feng Ren-Keng
He will only come back few times for a month
His financial status is very unstable
Is it?
You'll only see him if he has no money, otherwise he wouldn't appear
How about these two rooms?
This is my parents' room
This is my room
Yours? Let me see
It is spacious, not bad
The air is fresh too
Just put another bed at here
Qi
This box looks nice

Oh yes, why you were standing at the jetty with this box today?
The thing is like this
I just came back from travel
Travel? Where did you go?
You're rich already?
I've told you You didn't want to listen to me
Have you done scolding?
Stop fighting
Right, anything just calm down and have a talk first
Uncle, aunty
What uncle? Screw you
Aunty?
Why?
They're the couple who are staying at the
last room Shrewish Ying and Talkative Guang
Your business is very good today? Why come back so early?
This guy is so irritating He dropped the money bag into the porridge pot
You don't do what you should do, and when you do it, more troubles come
Stop nagging
I'll chop you if you keep scolding me
I don't believe it
Really?
Should we go in to mediate?
Leave them alone They always behave like this
They will be fine after waking up and go to sell porridge again
Is it?
You're back
I won't make the same mistake again
Two of them must be uncle and aunty
Your younger brother? He totally looks like you
I'm not his younger brother, my name is Xiang
This kid is very smart
He is working for his living
The bed behind is his
Yuan
This is...
He is Li Qi, my primary schoolmate
You met him before
You said he is a hopeless kid
Right
He was the one whose throat was hurted by other?
Yes
He grew up so much?
Right, Uncle Xin, Hello Take a seat
Take a seat, I'll go to change clothes first
Suit yourself So free to come over here?
Give me
The thing is like this My house at Youyi Village is under renovation
I planned to stay at hotel for awhile
Who knows Yuan keeps asking me to come and stay at here
What?
I don't want to disturb you all
It's ok, just stay together with Yuan
Really?
Yuan
Since when I ask you to stay at here? Do you have any money?
What money?
Do you have it?
Lend me first
Get aside
Aunt Xin This is the rental for the first month
Take it
No need
Yes, you need this, I'm staying and eating
here I'll feel embarrassed if I don't pay for it
Just see it as the food expenses, take it please
Alright then
Thank you
Your suit is ironed
Thanks
No place to hang it Just fold it and put into the drawer
I know there's no place to hang
Look at your drawer
You should know my suit cost more than hundred
If you put it into the drawer, it will crease
Right, just now there's a hundred note fell out from your suit
Really?
How many pawn tickets?
Is there anything which is not pawned yet?
These pawn tickets are belonged to my friend
He is poor
Sol help him to get back his things from pawnshop, understand?
Why you like to talk nonsense since you were a kid?
You like to keep up appearances
You must understand that
in Hong Kong, clothes make the man
You must have ten conditions to become a standard Hong Kong dweller
What are the ten conditions? I never heard of them
Alright, I'll tell you then
First, a suit, then two characters
One is good and another one is bad
Three new devices
Watch, lighter, ink pen
Four English words
Hello, Yes, No, Goodbye
Fifty percents westernized, six orifices are
I thought there are seven orifices?
Well the rest is ignorant
And
Colourful life, be smooth and slick Be crafty and full of grace
Then you have no worries how to make a living
In my opinion, it's better to be righteous
You should know that
A righteous person will end up as a beggar
Even a beggar should straighten his waist
What? Which idiot taught you this?
Speak louder
The idiot is my father
Your father? He is humorous
Let me teach you something
My dad said, there are five things that we can't do
Which five things?
Ruin the reputation of family, oppress women and children
Betray a friend, against our conscience, be wicked
Never ever do these five things
You mean can't do anything?
You still don't get it?
I really don't get it
Alright, take a bath and get some sleep
Wait
Why your pajamas are same like mine
Of course, they are yours
What do you mean?
You wear my pajamas without asking me?
You're my good friend Can't you let me wear you pajamas?
I didn't say you can't wear it But at least ask me first
Just like what happened earlier, why you acted before telling me?
You told my mom that I wanted you to stay at here
When I saw into your eyes just now I knew you won't say no about it
Enough, it's fine to let you stay here
But I want you to agree on a three-point law
So serious?
Raise your three fingers
Quick
First, don't touch my things without the my permission
No problem
Second, don't say sweet words
to my family and other tenants
Sweet words are the art of talking
Just go outside to present your art then
Third
What?
I still can't think of it yet I'll let you know then
Ok
Who threw the banana peels...
You're so pretty You must be Yuan's younger sister
Yes
Don't move, your side face is more pretty
Xiao Yan
This is Brother Qi
Brother Qi
Hello
Oh yes, my mother asked me to bring over a camp bed for you
Thank you
I've got to go
Ok, good night
Raise your three fingers Now I know which is the third law
What is it?
Third, don't have any improper thought on my sister
Now it seems your sister has improper thought on me
Or make her to have any improper thought on you
You're crazy
Check mate

How could you take away my rook while I'm checking mate?
Yuan

Mine is called porridge
Xiao Yan, what are you doing?
Why? I cooked for you and you're still not satisfy?
Stop fighting
Look at Brother Qi, he is cultured and polite
He is already an assistant manager of foreign firm at his twenties
You're assistant manager?
Yes
But I've resign last month when I went to United States
Really?
Just a small thing
Let's eat breakfast
Uncle Xiong, Gong Shang Daily News please
Ok, Gong Shang Daily News
Here you go
Why you give me a newspaper?
To look of job, otherwise you'll slack
A talent like me is wanted by many employers
But I won't just simply do any job
They say a woman scares to marry a wrong man, a man scares to get a wrong job
Right?
Why you're in a daze?
I see, you're staring at your crush
Don't talk nonsense
She is a good lady from a great family
Then how long you're in a relationship with her?
In a relationship? We don't even talk to each other before
She is a mute person?
You're a mute person
She is gentle and quiet, she doesn't like to talk
How come there's woman who doesn't like to talk?
You won't understand She is different than other ladies
Look, is she pretty?
Not bad, better than nothing
Go
She doesn't smile If she smiles, she looks very pretty
I wish
You wish?
I haven't seen her smile yet
Really? I don't believe it
What are you doing?
What did you tell her?
Nothing
Why she laughed?
You're buying stuff from her, of course she is happy
You would feel happy too, right?
That's it?
That's it
Why so stealthy? Somebody wants to chase and kill you?
Brother Bing
Again?
Lock the door, quick
Brother Yuan
Bing, where is Brother Yuan?
He left
What? He left again?
Impossible
She left
Thanks
Alright, let me do it
Climbing the wall again?
You are very naughty Follow me
Go where?
Go to Sha Tian Hongmei Valley to have a cruising
No, it's too far away. My mom will scold me
Alright, then I'll scream out that somebody is sexually harassing me
Stop it, nobody will believe it
Somebody is sexually harassing me
Brother Yuan, are you feeling tired of cruising?
I'm tired until want to throw up, don't do this next time
Then let's go to barbecue for next time
Where is it? I never been there before
Barbecue, it's an English word, to roast meat
I just learn until B for my English
I'll leave you alone here, I'm going to fetch my dad
See you tomorrow, bye
Brother Yuan
You think it's funny too?
Got such thing?
Yes
Yuan, you're back
It's late, six something already
I should go back now
Ok
See you
Take care
I never thought Zhen is very good in chatting although she looks gentle
Yuan, why you come back so late?
None of your business
This is my house
I like to come back whenever I want
Why you're such a bad mood?
Get lost, I hate those who have no credit
You mean... me?
Who else?
You've breached the first law of us
What is the first law?
Don't touch my things without the my permission
I didn't wear you pajamas or use your nail clippers today
How about Zhen?
You know she is mine Why you want to grab her away?
Zhen is your thing too?
Of course
I thought I've committed a capital offense
Yes, you are
Although I'm handsome and talented
Many ladies can't hold themselves back when they see me
But I'm not a casual guy
Why you were flirting with Zhen?
Really? I did it for you
I saw you don't have the guts to ask her out That's why I helped you
I've asked her to come over here to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow
Thunder
Are you lying to me?
If it's true, why she kept a straight face when she saw me?
She smiles to everyone else but you
That means she likes you
Why your hair become like this?
Don't mention, I was dragged by Sister Lan to have a cruising
You're just a worker at Long Feng Why she would ask you to go for cruising?
Long story
So you're hiding from her for half year?
What to do? She is the daughter of my boss, what could I do?
You can't hide from her forever
I think you need to make a frank and clear revelation to her at this moment
How?
Ok, let me teach you the three steps of making a frank and clear revelation
First step, find a safe place
The more people the place, the safer it is
Second step, keep all the sharp things For example, scissors
Keep all the thing that can kill somebody
Third step, be brave and proceed to tell her
Make a clean break
Brother Yuan
Stop, I have something to tell you
Yes?
What you said just now?
What? I can't hear you
I said I won't fall in love with you
Red bean ice

Yuan, you like to eat fried pork Eat more
When I bought fried pork downstairs just now
I heard Talkative Guang told Shrewish Ying that Xiao Jia is fired
Why?
There must be a reason
I heard Xiao Jia lost his temper due to failed to pursue the boss' daughter
He was fired
How could it be?
How could a man try to take advantage from a woman?
I have been working for years But I never been fired before
So I always tell Yuan We should always be open and aboveboard
Must not do anything which degrades the family
You are right
Yuan, you need to remember
What happened to you?
I go to drink some water first
Aunty Xin We have heard wrongly just now
It was not Xiao Jia who is fired
Tang said the one who is fired is Yuan
Yuan
Dad
I'm sorry, dad
Qi had told me about Sister Lan
I won't blame you
Not everyone have the opportunity to have relationship with fat guy
We must have moral integrity
We can't bow to the superior in order to get the scanty pay
Yes
Even though we need to beg for food
We cannot bow to anyone too
Yes, this is my son
Be careful Uncle Xin
Look, this is the lantern I made
You put a lot of effort
Is talkative Guang who taught me
Really?
I go downstairs to check whether your mom is done
You have fun?
Yes
Brother, I think dad is not angry anymore
He loves me a lot How would him angry to me?
Don't flatter yourself
I said anything wrong?
Is nice
There must be a mistake
Yuan
Look who is here
Sister Zhen
Talkative Guang
What?
Go down and take some carambola here
There is carambola there
Just go
What happened?
You are very annoying
Wait for me I go with you
We want to go too
Yan... We go downstairs to bring some candle to light the lantern
Ok...
Wait, Zhen Come here...
Yuan, take care of her
Come, take this
Bye
The moon is so big and round
Today is August 15 in Chinese Calender Of course it is big and round
Zhen, take a seat
Ok...
Thank you...
I'm wondering whether rabbit and Chang-E is in the moon
Brother Yuan
It's late now, I need to go back
You are leaving?
Bye
You are really useless
Yuan, this is lantern, not Zhen
But this lantern belongs to Zhen
I don't understand Is Zhen really such a nice woman?
Of course
If she willing to marry me I'm willing to reduce my life for 10 years
As a man, how could you live without ambition?
You should learn from me What you need to do is to build your career
Are you kidding? Build career?
Wait and see
After I enter the film industry I will be a rich director
All the Hong Kong citizen will know who am I
Are you crazy?
You have an uncle who open a restaurant in the studio, right?
Go and talk to him You should utilize this opportunity
Forget about it My uncle is a snob
He won't help me
Otherwise, I won't be cheated to pay 10 dollars as the introduce fees
Really? You also cheated by others?
Don't mention about it anymore
Maybe we can ask for Feng Ren-Keng's help
Feng Ren-Keng...
He seems like working in the studio
