- Some tea?
- Don't be so formal.

Mr Hua, we have accomplished
many things in our time,

mainly through acts of great violence.

But now the situation
is completely different.

Neither of us can survive
if we go on attacking each other.

Yes, Charlie, you're quite right.

Mr Hua, I'll come right to the point.

Two days ago,
your men hijacked our cargo in Macau.

Stop.

I won't stay if you keep on insulting me.

Mr Hua, let's...

let's make a deal.

- Okay, if you're not greedy.
- How much will you pay?

First of all, you realise the cargo
can't be sold without refining,

and those costs will have to come
out of your share, Charlie.

You damn crook! I'm not--

[men yelp]

So, you're pretty careless
with the lives of your men.

Mr Hua, don't kill me.
I-it's a misunderstanding!

Look, please don't kill me.
I don't wanna die.

No, Mr Hua! No!

I won't kill you. Not me.

Thank you, Mr Hua.

Thank you! Thank you!

Mr Hua, you...

you gave me your word not to kill me.

But I didn't, did I?

Boss... what about him?

You're out of a job...

so work for me.

Oh, yes, thank you, Boss!

[man] Thank you, Boss!

- Here's some money.
- Why's that?

Why not? A settlement out of court.

Shyster lawyers.

My client wants you to drop the case.

Not for a million.

Not till I see him in prison.

- And I don't like giving up a case.
- You ought to let go of this one, though.

Oh? But why? I'm bound to win.

I think you're going to lose.

And instead of
making a bitter enemy for life,

why not win a friend and,
at the same time, make some money.

I haven't had such an interesting offer
in a long time.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[man chuckles]

Hello, lawyer.
I see you're not getting anywhere.

Who are you?

Don't you know?
They're your client's little messengers.

You keep your mouth shut,
you stupid bitch.

Hold it! No rough stuff.

Easy, lawyer. Sit down.

You've had your shot,
now it's our turn. Okay?

Stop! Hold it! Stop!

You stay out of this.

[woman yelling]

[woman] Help! Help!

[woman] [twice] Let me go!

[woman] Help!

- [woman] No, no!
- [driver yells]

No! No, don't! No more!

- No more!
- Go back and tell Chang that he's--

Are you all right?

You're just as bad as those gangsters!

Me a gangster?!

[cries]

Objection! Counsel is casting aspersions
on the plaintiff's morals.

I suppose you call what she does
an honest way of making a living.

This is no time for semantics.

I guess you don't call what she starred
in a porno movie, huh?

But I didn't say that.

Overruled.

Your Honour, to save the taxpayers
a lot of money and time,

the defendant pleads nolo contendere

and, therefore, requests the court
to acquit him

in view of the extenuating circumstances

and award the benefit of the doubt
in this case, as well as costs.

Legally, the defendant did not rape
the plaintiff,

because the word 'rape' implies seduction
by brute force.

However, in the ethical sense,
our client was wrong.

Objection! Defence counsel's misleading.

We're concerned with the law,
but not ethics.

Sustained.

Strike the defence counsel's
last intervention.

Your Honour, the defence rests its case.

[sniggers]

I now ask the defendant,
Mr Chang, to rise.

[judge] Before I pronounce sentence,

I would like to congratulate both counsels
on their superlative presentations.

The prosecution's presentation
was concise and to the point.

The defence's plea of nolo contendere
saved valuable time,

for which I am extremely grateful.

The court has considered all the evidence
against the defendant

and finds him not guilty,

and I see no grounds for an appeal.

The defendant is to be set free.

Case dismissed.

[crier] Court will rise.

Thank you, counsellor.

Hey!

Hmm-mm.

Attacking your client in court.

Even if the victim doesn't sue you,
the court will.

I know.

Why did you do it?

Look, are you the assistant
or are you the boss?

I'm your assistant appointed by your boss.

Hi, where are you going?

To court 2. A wife-beating case.

- And after?
- [woman] I'm having lunch.

- Me too. How about joining me?
- Hmm.

- What does that mean?
- It means 'okay'

as long as you're paying.

See you out front. 12 sharp.

- [man] Okay.
- Bye.

Let's go.

Yes, well, where were we?

I said I'm your assistant
and I was appointed by your boss.

Oh, yeah.

I don't mind discussing business,
but not outside in the street.

- Hi!
- [woman] Hi!

- Where are you going?
- To the John.

- And after?
- I'm leaving the John.

- And then?
- Lunch.

- With me?
- Why not?

- I haven't seen you lately.
- You were too busy.

- See you later.
- Okay!

- Great!
- [both] Bye!

Sir Galahad.

Ugh... let's go.

[knocking]

Boss.

Ah! Miss Yeh. It's nice to see you.

You made up your mind?

I don't want compensation.

I just want you to stop production

until you have upgraded
the drainage system.

Or else, the chemical waste
will keep polluting the water in my lake.

All my fish will die.

How much is that lake worth?
And I'll buy it.

No use. I'm not selling.
Not to someone like you.

You don't talk like a businessman,
Miss Yeh.

I think that one can do business ethically
without destroying the ecology

- or polluting the world.
- Hm!

I don't share your opinion.

You know, in business
we've got our own ethics;

it's only dollars and cents,

and there's nothing else that matters.

Come on, tell me how much you want.

I can't stop production.
No, not for an hour or a minute.

How much is your factory? I'll buy it.

Let's close the subject.

If there's no other solution,
I'll apply to the court for an injunction.

I'll see you in court, little lady.

[humphs]

Boss, want me to bump her off?

Idiot!

Get a lawyer who'll play along with her.

We can prolong those hearings
almost indefinitely.

Just make sure that our production
doesn't slow down.

[man] Yes, Boss.

Your tea.

Mr Wen, how are you?

Oh, I haven't seen you
at the races lately.

I've been out of town.

Allow me.

This is Nancy Lee,

she lectures on oceanography
at Hong Kong University.

- She's our chief witness in this case.
- [man #2] Oh, pleased to meet you.

- How do you do?
- This is Mr Lang,

the lawyer in charge of the case.

- [Lang] Hello.
- Hello.

Well, Mr Wen, why don't we
get straight down to business?

Here's all the data.

Mr Wen, can't we settle out of court?

Yes. If they stop production

until the drainage system is improved.

Can't we continue production
while improving the system?

No, my client insists
that you stop all production;

it's endangering the fish.

All right. I see
that the situation's quite clear.

See you in court.

Win or lose, we lawyers
always get paid anyway, right?

- [both chuckling]
- [man #2] You said it!

Miss Lee, how do you determine
the quality of the water?

The stands are set down for us
by the Commonwealth Health Authority.

That sounds fair.

Is it complicated?

I've been studying it for years.

I was even sent abroad to do research.

Say, let's have lunch sometime.

I'd like to learn some more
about your standards.

I've given you all the information
you'll need.

Well, gentlemen,
I believe that's all for now.

It's late. I have to get to court.

It's been a pleasure.

I hope we'll have a drink sometime, huh?

[multiple] Thank you.

Goodbye. I'll call you later.

- I'll see her out.
- Thank you.

If you get to court late,

you can always charge the extra time
to the client.

- Ah!
- [both chuckle]

- Miss Lee, where you going?
- The library.

- And after that?
- Lunch.

Oh, me too. How about lunching together?

Sorry.

- Why not?
- I like lunching alone.

Oh! Me too. I'm the same way.

During lunch, I just hate to have company.

You know, we could go and eat Japanese.

Sorry.

Korean food, then?

I don't like to have lunch
with sex-starved lawyers.

[Lang] Only lunch, and nothing else.

Wait!

How about dinner... or breakfast?

[woman chuckles]

Say, don't you know
when a girl has said 'no'?

You know how those career girls are.

You need a more understanding woman.

[man] Okay, here are the dummy guns.

It's like the real thing.

Just picked these up.

Here's a .38.

The same as used by the police.

It's $200. Okay!

Here is a .45 Colt.

With this, you can fool anyone, huh?

300.

Okay.

And this is... an M77 automatic.

One magazine of 15 rounds.

Really high-powered.
Even the cops run when they see these.

- Do they sound like real ones?
- Even better.

It looks and feels, shoots and sounds
just like the real thing.

We'll take all of them.

Okay! I'll make you a special price.

77-hundred, plus my commission.

[dealer] Huh?

Somethin' wrong, fatso?

Sorry.

Cash, no credit.

Why? We were sent here by Scarface Chang.

I don't care if you were sent by Superman.
No money, no guns.

Would we have to go out robbing
if we had any money?

Oh!

You mean you can't rob
because you're broke?

Ah!

Here.

I'll make you a deal:
15 each, 20 as a pair. Hm?

You know, fatso, a guy might get hurt
with a knife like this.

You can't cheat me, you know. Not me.

[men groan]

Because you know what kind of
a guy you're dealing with?

A champion!

[phone rings]

Yeah?

Luke, old friend. What're you doing?

A little business... and a little action.

I need to see you. Luke, meet me
in the usual place in half an hour.

Something good?
I could use a little dough.

You'll find this interesting,
I guarantee you.

[Luke] What's so special about this?

That fish reservoir there's worth
nearly two million.

10% commission. That's a good deal, Luke.

Yeah, but not easy money.

I wouldn't have come to you, then.

Hong Kong Fishery

[men yelling]

Get out!

Go on! And you'd better not come back!

Don't let me see you
come round here again

because next time I'll use a gun.

And I'm not selling it to you,
you bastards.

[men continue yelling]

Well? Can you do it?

It's a cinch.

Turn back. Head for the shore.

You thief!

Wait! It's Johnny, you idiot!

It's Johnny! Hold it! No!

It's Johnny!

It's... Johnny!

Hold it!

- Don't you see who I am?
- Who are you?

- Don't you recognise me?!
- It's too dark.

It's me! It's... me.

Look! Look! It's Johnny!

- Johnny?
- I already said that!

Shh!

[whispers] What are you doing?

What is it?

I saw a man there.

It was me.

[normal] What do you want?

I'm looking for your switch.

Why didn't you see it?

There.

[man] Want some coffee?

Well?

What do you want?

Well, you see,
I've got a little assignment for you.

I need your special talents
to bug somebody's house.

What are you doing? It's a pretty
strange way to take care of fish.

Stop!

Don't add any milk or sugar.

The glucose and the lactose counteract
and spoil the coffee.

Understand?

Oh, yeah.

What did you say?

Oh, I want you to help me.

The last sentence.

Oh, why do you keep fish like that?

Fish... have always been my inspiration.

They move through the waters of life,
always forging ahead.

What do you want?

I told you, I want you to install a bug.

- [birds chirping]
- Wait a moment.

Birds... are disciples of capitalism.

Fish... are disciples of communism.

Two opposing forces.

- Get the point?
- No, I don't.

I just know that it's not nice
for the poor creatures.

- What do you want?
- I'll say it once more:

I want you to install a bug.

Hm?!

You know, that's not
a very ethical thing to do;

it's even illegal.

If you want, I'll go see the guy,

twist his neck around
and make him tell you everything.

Thanks a lot, but, er...

that won't be necessary.

You just forget I was here.

I can't!

You're a friend. Right?

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Hey, what do you want?

[laughs]

I wanted you to help me install a bug.

A bug? Are you serious?

[wheezing] Yeah!

You're working too hard.

You're slowly going crazy.

Yeah!

Hm?

What the hell do you want?!

What do I want?!

Who the hell are you?
What are you doing in my house?

In your house?!
Where do you live anyhow?

A Building, 9 Lo Yang Road.

This is B, idiot. A is over there!

A little mistake. So sorry.

- [Luke] Sorry I disturbed--
- Look out!

Here.

[Yeh] You're a clumsy one, aren't you?

I suppose so.

I've always been like that.
I guess it's just my nature.

- Are you all right?
- Yes, yes, thank you.

I'll give you a hand.
You've so much luggage.

Oh, you're very kind.

I hope I didn't inconvenience you.

Please, it's nothing. We're neighbours.

Er... won't you stay a little longer?

- No.
- Er...

a cup of tea?

- No, thanks, I must be going.
- Er...

- [Luke] A coffee.
- No, thanks. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

She's really nice... and so friendly.

It's true there's nothing like
a good neighbour

whom you should love as thyself.

Couldn't we find some other solution?
Maybe try and settle it out of court?

Well, if we could,

I wouldn't have had to apply
for an injunction.

Lawsuits are never pleasant.

[Yeh] How did it go with the meeting?

Well, their lawyer invited me out
to lunch.

That doesn't show tact.

It would've been better
if he had invited me too.

You've got an inferiority complex, cousin.

Well, that's ridiculous.
It's just that I was a fool.

When I was younger, I was so trusting.

I believed everything men told me.

I realise that you've been hurt.

But that was long ago.

There are a lot of decent men around.

Maybe you just expect too much, honey.

Now you're completely wrong.

He needn't be so handsome or even rich;

I have enough for both of us.

The main thing's a man's character.

But I could only marry a man
who's faithful to me.

Huh? Faithful?

So you would still consider marriage?

Yes! With one exception:
I hate men with pot bellies.

Huh?

Forward.

Watch out for the enemy!

Careful!

Over the top!

Advance.

[tries door]

Nancy?

Nancy, did you say yes to that lawyer?

Why don't you have lunch with him?

Why should I?

At least you could get some idea
of the strategy

that he might have in mind.

- All right?
- Hm!

[Yeh] Nancy, could you please
give me a hand?

[sniggers]

No! It mustn't get wet!

A burglar! Hold it!

Don't move!

Got ya!

Come... here!

You won't get away from me!

I'll teach you to try and break in!

- What's going on?
- [both gasp]

[Yeh] What are you doing?!

I caught this burglar
trying to steal from you.

A burglar?! The police! Call the police!

It's all right.

I took care of him.

It's all right, honey,
the police are on their way.

Nancy, this is Mr Wang, our new neighbour.
He lives next door.

- [Luke] How do you do?
- Thank you. Thanks a lot.

Don't mention it.

It's only natural.
We're neighbours, after all.

That was careless.

- What's the story?
- I got you bailed out.

Let's go.

Say, will I have to go to jail?
I don't want to go to jail.

I can't breathe there;
the air's so polluted.

- Fix it for me.
- Okay.

Look! You'd better keep me out of jail,
or no more jobs!

Okay! Go on.

[Nancy] Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

Quick!

Take the elevator down!

You kidding? Take the elevator?
I couldn't breathe. I'll take the stairs.

Okay! Okay, take the stairs.

I don't want anyone to see you.
I'll call you later.

- Hurry! Hurry!
- Yeah.

Oh! What a coincidence.

Yes, a surprise.

Mr Lang represents
the Hua Chemical Company.

- [Yeh] Hm?
- The lawyer.

Oh, the lawyer for Hua.

My cousin owns the Yeh Fish Pond.

Ah, nice to meet you.

The police station
is not the ideal place to meet.

And I'll meet you in court very soon,
I presume.

Yes.

- M-Miss Lee?
- Hm?

May I ask you--

Another lunch invitation?

Yes, if it's all right.

Are you asking her or me?

Because if it's her,
you'd better look at her.

[stifled groan]

Er....

- Sorry, I'm busy.
- Oh.

How about dinner?

Yeah, okay!

Give me your phone number...

I'll call you
and then I'll pick you up later.

The number?

There you are. Your hands are full.

Er, Doctor, I am normal, aren't I?

I suppose you're normal.

A patient that consults me is half cured.

Can I be treated?

Yes, I'm treating you now.

I talk on your couch, and you just listen.

It's simple, isn't it?
Why, I could treat you!

Yes, indeed.
It's an interesting viewpoint.

In fact, one could really say
that you are actually treating me;

you're curing my ailing income
by paying me for your treatment.

If that's so, you lie down here
and I'll treat you.

Whatever you say. Let's change places.

Okay. You come here.

[chair creaking]

- Well? Feeling better?
- Yes, I do.

Good, let's go on.

Okay.

Doctor, how did a nice boy like me
ever get to be such a neurotic?

I had a respectable mother and father.

I was well educated.

Of course, it's a patriarchal society,

and the conflict between mother and father
can lead to great frustration,

and to mental imbalance and depression,

not to mention incidences of violence.

No, I don't think it's a matter
of matriarchal-patriarchal.

We are all endowed with the gift
of free will.

Therefore, we are free to conduct
our lives as we see fit. Understand?

- No.
- Then, you're sane.

In that case, you'd be wasting your time
with a psychiatrist.

You're better off talking to a friend.

Aren't you my friend?

I'm a psychiatrist. I have my patients.

I try to teach them,
guide them, advise them.

So, you can call me many things,
but not a friend.

Are you trying to tell me

that all I really need is a friend
I can talk to?

Yes, that's right.

One more consultation
and I guarantee you, you'll be fine.

I can't wait.

Thank you.

Uh... that one there's
much more comfortable.

Sit over here.

You see, this cushion in the middle
is much better.

Well, this isn't so bad.

Oh, what?

That's impossible.

May I try it?

Ah, it's true.

It took you to discover that.

It's a nice wine.

Thank you.

[makes noises]

Oh...

Oh...

Did you put a drug in my wine?

Huh?

I feel a little drunk.

The wine has just entered the stomach.

Part of it entered my head,

and it's going round and round.

Oh! Feel my head!

Have I got a fever?

Not at all.

Oh... could be just a little case
of self-indulgence.

I think it's more like a case
of self-infatuation.

[ringing]

Yeah?

Johnny, it's me - Tim.

- What do you want?
- I'm here in your house.

Huh?

- [Tim] I'm in your house!
- Oh!

Don't move if you're not feeling well.

I'm here, chatting with a friend.
Over and out.

Now then, where were we?

[phone rings]

What?

If you don't come out, I'll come in.

[strained] No!

I'll come right away!

[normal] Over and out!

Oh, I'm sorry,

I forgot something.

[Nancy] Mm-hmm.

Excuse me a second.

[Johnny] Hey!

- How did you get in?
- Through there. I just climbed in!

Shh! [quietly] Not so loud!

- I want to ask you a question.
- [Johnny] What is it?

How did a nice guy like me
ever get to be such a neurotic?

I had a respectable father and mother.

Only, the conflicts between
matriarch and patriarch

can lead to great frustration,

deep depression
and tendencies of violence.

Do you understand?
I'll repeat the question.

[Nancy] Johnny!

- Mr Lang!
- No! No!

[Nancy] It's for you!

Just a second!

Okay, okay, I'll answer that later.

You just stay there. Stay there, okay?

- Ah! Here.
- So it's her?

Thanks.

- Yeah?
- Johnny, it's Luke.

- Where are you?
- My house.

What? What's that?

Uh...

You went to get something. Where is it?

Ah... yeah.

[Johnny] I'll go and get it now.

- Huh?
- [Johnny shushing]

That's the woman who had me arrested.

You know, the one you had me bug.

What's going on?

Is this some kind of a game?

You don't care what happens to me,
do you?!

You haven't answered my question.

Quiet, please!
Please leave me alone tonight

and then tomorrow, I guarantee
to answer your question. Okay?

Go on! The way you came in!

[quietly] Go on! Hurry!

Go on!

- Did you get it?
- Oh, no, I didn't. It wasn't there.

Guess what I bought you.

First tell me where the restroom is.

The restroom? Right...

there.

Ah, there you are!

I'm glad you still put the key
under the doormat, like in the old days.

You know, I was just going to tell you

I was on my way over
when the phone went dead.

Now, you won't believe this:
I live next door to that lady -

the one with the fish;
we're just like that now.

You live next door to her?

- [Luke] Good?
- Bad! I've got her cousin right here now!

- Huh?
- [toilet flushes]

Hide!

Why did you switch off the light?

Oh, don't you think
it's a little more romantic?

It's safer with the lights on.

Well, your wish is my command.

Let's have dinner now, huh?

What was that?

[Johnny] You stay here and I'll go look.

[Johnny] Oh.

What was it?

Oh, a dog just knocked the lamp over.

The dog? Oh, you have a dog?

Oh! What a beautiful coat!
Where did you get it?

Oh, I bought it
when I was studying in Canada.

Oh!

I better hang it up for you
so it doesn't get creased, huh?

Get in!

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it!

[Johnny] Phew.

What was that noise?

The dry air makes the wood creak.

- Oh.
- Yes. Let's eat, now.

Thank you.

[creaking]

Ahh. The steak looks great.

Ah!

I-I should have fixed that door last week;
the wood was so dry.

Now, it's broken.

But don't let it ruin our dinner, eh?
Enjoy your steak.

[sigh of relief]

It's you again, you damn burglar!

First, it's my neighbour,
and now my friend!

Had me arrested, huh?

[noises in distance]

[Tim] I'll get you for that!

- [Nancy] Er...
- Ah, my radio must be still on.

Just a second.

- [Luke] You bastard.
- Hey, stop it!

That's enough! Cut it out, now!

No! No! Stop it!

- He's a burglar!
- Who's a burglar?!

- You are, you crook!
- Hold it! I know him. A friend of mine.

- He's your friend?!
- Yes.

I caught him
breaking into my neighbour's house.

I asked him to fix a bug inside her house.

- He's a friend, too?
- Yes.

You mean he's your friend,
and that girl there's your friend?

And you asked me to fix a bug
in their house

and then had me get arrested?
What the hell's going on?

- What kind of friendship is that?!
- Listen, listen.

It's just a misunderstanding. Don't fight.

No fighting anymore.

I'll explain everything
after she goes away.

Hey! Look at me!

Now, don't fight, huh?

Easy. Don't fight. Huh?

Don't fight.

Don't fight, huh? Shh.

Hey! No fighting! No fighting!
You stupid--

- Who's fighting, you stupid fool?
- I'll show you. [laughing]

- Quite a spread, huh?
- Yeah.

Have you had enough?

Oh, you don't like steak?

Well, next time I'll only serve you fish.

But it's getting late.
Sorry you have to go.

- I'll see you out.
- But... I haven't eaten anything.

[Johnny] Ah, [multiple] yeah.

Bye-bye. See you again soon.

Phew.

[men groaning]

Hey, cut that out!
I said no more fighting!

[twice] Stop it!

[rings]

[fighting continues]

No! Stop it! Hey!

[rings]

Stop it!

[Nancy] Excuse me.

Oh! You've got a black eye.

What? It's black?

Well? What do you want?

You've got my coat in there.

Stay there.

[men fighting]

[Johnny] No, no! Don't fight!

Stop! Stop it!

- Oh! Now your nose is bleeding!
- Huh?

My nose? Bleeding?

Ha! You've been drinking. Bye-bye!

Stop fighting!

[groaning]

Hey! Cut it out!

All right, what now?

I don't read minds. Ask him that.

I was just following the plan.

We stay friendly with that old maid
till she sells her company.

The main thing is we get our 20%.

You know, there are things in life
that are far more valuable than money.

Oh, yeah? Diamonds, silver,
gold, antiques, artworks--

I mean honesty... and loyalty,

a man's word of honour;
you ever heard of them?

What do ya mean?

Hold it! Take it easy.
Don't fight. Don't fight. Huh?

Look, just trust me.

I promise you, I'll take care of it all.

I'll get a lawyer to waive
the charges, okay?

He's not worth it.

If you're not careful what you say,

I'll push this fist right through
your ugly face.

Hey, hey, hold it!

You'll only get jailed for assault
on an innocent man.

You don't scare me with that.

Innocent? Who the hell's innocent
in this place?

They're all a bunch of whoremasters,
drug pushers and pimps.

When you come right down to it,

it's guys like you
who make the world a trash can.

I tell you, even living in jail is better!

- There!
- Hold it! Hold it! Don't mind him.

Hey! Why d'you hire this lunatic?

- Listen, you!
- Don't point at me.

Then, watch what you say.

What did I say?

I suppose you didn't just call me
a lunatic?

- Yeah--
- Easy, easy. [twice] No more fighting.

He isn't always like that.

What's the matter?
You've changed a lot, lately.

Our life would be absolutely meaningless
if there were no changes.

But it's morons like that
who make it even worse. You stinker!

- Oh, you--
- Hold it! Easy! Take it easy.

Have another drink. Down the hatch.

Cheers, cheers.

Mr Hua, this way, please.

Mr Hua.

Oh.

- Friends again, huh?
- Johnny. Here you are.

- Oh, hello.
- I'm there with Mr Hua.

He'd like to meet you.
Let's go, I'll introduce you.

Okay. Uh...

Listen, you go on. I-I'll join you.

Wait here for me.

You come with me. Stay there.

Let's go together.

Mr Hua, allow me to introduce Johnny Lang,
my lawyer's partner.

He's handling your case.

- [Johnny] Mr Hua.
- Oh, really?

It's nice to see you, Mr Lang.

The future of my factory is in your hands.

Thank you for your confidence.

These gentlemen are helping me
on your case.

[Hua] Oh, yeah.

[Johnny] I really appreciate
your giving me this assignment, Mr Hua.

[man] With Johnny handling your case,

you got nothing at all to worry about,
Mr Hua.

Hey, that's good to hear.

What do these men do, huh?

[Johnny] They're collecting evidence
against your opponent.

Somethin' wrong, Boss.

- What's going on?
- [woman screaming]

Didn't your mother tell you
that knives were very dangerous?!

No fighting! No fighting!

Move aside, you're blocking my view.

Sure.

Stop! Stop!

No fighting!

No fighting!

[both] Let's go!

Stay here! Stay here! Forget it!

[chuckles] I'm so sorry.

I apologise for getting you involved
in this.

I'm recognised wherever I go,
and there are men who want to kill me.

- Yeah--
- It's your own fault. Your own doing!

You live a life of violence,
crime, hatred, killing, and vice.

You deserve what you get.

Pah!

- [Luke] You...!
- No, don't go! Stay here!

Sorry, my friend had too much to drink.

It's okay!

I don't mind a guy shooting off
his mouth.

Good thing you're working for me, though,

because, you see, if you weren't...

oh, boy! [chuckles]

[groans] Don't let it get around
that you're working for me.

It could be embarrassing.

But, Boss, we didn't know
he had two goons with him.

They made all of you look like amateurs.

Finish off that lawyer.

We'll take care of him.
He took us by surprise.

He took you by surprise?

Just what did you expect?

You need to see 'killer' tattooed
on his face?

Finish him off.

Isn't that ship pretty?

The ship we're going to is prettier.

Okay. They're coming.

Please, sir.

This way.

[all] Mr Lang, Miss Lee.

Well? Do you like it?

Mm. But aren't you overdoing it?

Oh, not at all.

You see, lunch can be so boring.

A little variety, I find,
can make all the difference.

Well, Johnny...

is your lunch always such a feast?

If I'm lunching with you, hm.

I don't need all these attendants.

Oh, then I'll serve you alone.

But isn't all this terribly expensive?

I figured you deserved something special

after the way I treated you at home
the other night.

But you could buy a lot of lunches
on what you're spending on me today.

You can't take it with you.

Cheers.

Before we start, could I use the, er--

Er, take Miss Lee to the ladies' room.

[waiter] Yes, sir.

Here, Miss Lee.

[door locks]

[whispering] There. Up there.

Right.

This way. Go on.

What are you doing?!

Inside! Inside!

Shh!

[Nancy] Johnny?

Johnny!

What's going on?

Oh, er...

Sorry, they stopped serving lunch now.

But why?

Let's go.

- [birds chirping]
- [water hose]

The flowers are lovely.

Miss Yeh, can I ask you something?

What is it, then?

It's not easy. I'm very shy.

About the flowers?

No, I wanted to ask you for a date.

Go to a restaurant, have a little dinner,

talk to each other.

- Oh....
- After all, we're neighbours now.

- We could be friends, too.
- Friends are often betrayed,

so you end up preferring
to have fewer friends.

I'm a different man.

- Your eyes have betrayed you.
- Huh?

They show you're not sincere.

A man like you likes to play around.
You're only interested in one thing.

[exhales]
I would still like to be your friend.

Trust my mouth, and not my eyes.

It has a scar. Can I really trust it?

The scar... belongs to my nose,

and not my mouth.

Anyway, neighbour,
thank you for the invitation. Bye-bye.

Uh...

don't say no.

And, anyway, you've got to eat!

Please let go.

You're all the same.

First, it's flowers, then dinner,
and then it's--

Listen, Miss Yeh,
I know what you're thinking,

but I'm not at all that kind.

Look, I'll wait for you tonight
at the Glass Café.

I won't go!

I'll wait till you get there!

I'll wait till they close!

I won't go.

You must!

I'll expect you there!

I'll wait all night! I'll wait forever!

It's no use. I won't go.

[Yeh] He's really there!

[gasps]

I'm waiting to use the phone.

Yes. This call is an emergency.

Oh, excuse me. Go on.

[Yeh] I bet he won't wait long.

[Yeh] Hmm.

I never met a man
who wasn't an unreliable pig.

Where are you going?

[Luke] Look to the right. I'm over here.

Look here, I've got a bow-tie
and I've got a suit,

and I made a reservation,
so you might as well have dinner with me.

Walk all you please.
I'll just keep following you.

Actions speak louder than words, anyway.

I'll prove I'm sincere,
that you can trust me.

I know what's on your mind.

You just want to find out
if I meant what I said.

Well, I can tell you now
I did mean it.

If you don't feel like trusting me,
then trust yourself, at least.

You can't convict a man
till he's proven guilty.

What's so funny?

And, anyway, I wasn't talking
to you, little lady.

I was talking to that woman next to you.

Please don't go! Don't walk so fast.

I'm talking to the lady in the fur coat.

Why don't you stop running away
and give me a chance?

Because a chance for me
is a chance for you.

After all, it takes two to tango.
Am I right?

I'm talking to that woman
with the scarf and no coat.

- [bystanders mutter]
- [Yeh growls]

Stop for a minute
and think about what I said.

I wasn't just talking
for the sake of talking.

Making friends isn't so complicated.
Why not give it a try?

[bystander] Uh-oh,
she's getting mad, I think.

Have you finished?

Don't catch a cold.

I'm sorry...

if I went too far.

But I had no other choice.

All I wanted was to get to talk to you.

You're one of the greatest idiots
I've ever known.

That was a good show you put on,
but it won't work.

Where are we having dinner?

Any place you want!

- [bystander] Yeah!
- [bystanders chuckle]

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen,
we've got to go eat.

It's been very nice meeting all of you,

but it's dinner time, and I'm starving!

Tell the truth.

You only started dating me
because of the case.

And you--

I suppose you didn't have
the same idea as well.

Anyway, win or lose,
it doesn't make much difference.

Either way, I'm bound to collect my fee.

But the right girl...

you only meet once in a lifetime,

and when you do, she could be married.

And, with men it's the same.

The good ones are often married already.

Please don't stare.

It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Because I'm not already married?

Idiot!

[groans]

Oh! What's the matter?

There's no need to be so violent.

So, what now?

What next?

What now?

I'll just have to suffer, I guess.

Oh....

Sorry.

Slap me again!

[Johnny] Hit me!

- Take a knife and stab me!
- [Nancy giggling]

Come on!

I don't go fishing often;
it can be boring.

The pleasure of fishing
is not only the act of fishing.

Eating the fish?

Not
.

There's the wonder of the silence,

the peace of mind,

the magic of life eternal.

Oh?

If that's so, then why do fishermen
always have wrinkles?

Are you joking with me again?

[chuckling]

Did you ever think of selling everything?

Why?

If you sell it, you'd be free of it.

We could go to Australia...

and open a ranch; a dairy.

But don't worry.

It won't be all work.
We could have lots of fun.

Maybe we'll have horses and go out riding.

Shall I tell you a secret?

Sure.

My father's will states...

that his future son-in-law
will inherit his entire fish business.

What? What are you thinking of?

In a way, I'm sorry you told me that.

Someone else's secrets are always...

a big burden.

Why?

It affects no one but me.

Uh... but you see,

I'm not very good at secrets, you see.

I just blurt it all out.

Then, think of it as your very own secret.

My very own secret?

[Yeh] Uh-huh.

Now do you feel okay?

Hm! Okay!

Your very own secret's different.

I won't blurt it out.

[bleeping]

Someone's ringing the bell!

Well, so what?

If he keeps it up,
he'll alarm the watchman.

Take care of it!

Right.

Who is it?

Oh! It's Timothy,
and I wanna see the doctor.

I'm very sorry, I'm busy today.

I must see you, it's urgent.

If you don't let me in,
I'll burn down your clinic.

- What do you do?!
- Keep him talking!

Hello? Speak through the intercom.

Doctor, I was double-crossed by a friend.

What do you think I ought to do?

You see, Doctor,

I was against the idea
right from the start.

He wanted me to fix a bug,
but I didn't want to leave my fish.

This guy's a lunatic!

I always was a very loyal
and unselfish man.

And to help a friend,

I suppose I'd go to the end of the world
if he asked me,

so I volunteered, to help him,

even though it wasn't all that legal.

[sigh] But luck was against me.

and I got caught in the act
before I finished, in front of witnesses.

Okay! Kill all the witnesses.

Kill all the witnesses?

Yeah! It's the most efficient solution,
then you won't go to jail!

Thank you, Doc, and that'll cost how much?

This time it's free. So long.

Oh! Thanks again!

[Tim humming]

[Johnny] Catch!

[Johnny laughing]

[Johnny] I got you that time!

You're really awful!

Oh!

I'm here. It's all right.

Wait! What caused the power failure?

But who cares?
This way, the world is so beautiful.

Can't you be serious?

Everything that's in the refrigerator
will spoil.

I'll have to throw it away.
All the rice and the soup and--

Oh, please go and see what caused
the power failure.

Okay, I'll see what I can do,
but I'm not an electrician.

The fuse must have gone.

[Johnny] What the...? Who--

Johnny?

[Nancy yelling]

- What's going on?!
- Shh! Shh!

- Johnny, what--
- Shh.

[whispering] It looks like a burglar
has broken in.

- But--
- Shh!

Go quietly to the centre of the room,

count up-to three
and then light this. Understand?

- But--
- Shh. Go on, now!

Hurry! Hurry!

Johnny! I lit it.

- What do I do now?
- Don't move!

[yelling and screaming]

Shh! Shh!

It's you, you bastard!

You gone crazy?!

I'm not crazy!

- You know what the hell you're doing?!
- Yes! Getting rid of the witnesses.

Stay away from her!

- [Johnny] Leave her alone!
- [Tim yells]

Let go! Let go!

Look out!

Stop it! What's going on?

- None of your business!
- You're a very impolite character.

Yeah. And you, you're a dishonest one.

Making friends with her
to get her to sell her fish business.

Luke, what's he saying?

Just nonsense.

I'll teach him to lie.

- You--
- Look out!

But it's the truth!

- Right! That's it!
- You lying swine!

Wait! Wait! Please! Please!
Let me explain!

- He's telling lies!
- Keep quiet, will you?

Keep quiet? You're the one
who ought to keep quiet.

You told me to fix a bug in her house,

and when I got caught and was arrested,
you double-crossed me!

[Nancy] Everything's quite clear now.

But... you mustn't listen to him.
He's gone crazy. He's crazy, I tell you!

[Johnny] You gotta believe me!

- Things are not what they seem!
- [Yeh] Get your hands off me!

- Not so complicated. It's very simple!
- Nothing that he says is true, lady!

It's very simple, yes!

I've had enough of this!

[Luke] [twice] But--

Nancy! At least listen to my explanation!

I'd rather hear it in court!

[Johnny] Nancy! Nancy!

Nancy!

You spoiled everything!

It was spoiled the first night
when I got caught with your bug

- and that fatso screwed up!
- I told you it was an accident!

You can't even fix a bug!

I told you he's just trouble!

He's right. You bungled it.

That's enough!

You don't call me a bungler.

So that's the thanks I get
for everything I did for you?

Well, so much for the great lawyer!

Didn't I promise
I'd get you off the hook?!

Make what promises you like.
Only, I'll go to jail!

Oh, I'm fed up with both of you!

- You're through, you stupid swine.
- Oh, yeah?

You call me a stupid swine?!

Who you pushin' around?!

I'll do what I like!

Now it's fists! Now it's fists, huh?!

And why not?

I can take care of you anytime!

Hold it!

I called the police;

they're on their way,
and serves you right!

Believe me, I had to move
almost heaven and earth

to keep the commissioner
from prosecuting you.

It was touch and go,

but I finally convinced him
you're all supposed to be good friends.

So why are you always fighting?

Miss, excuse.

- Luke--
- [Luke groans]

- [Johnny sighing]
- What were you fighting about?

A woman, I guess.

The thin guy for two girls,

the fat one for one girl,

and me for everybody, hm?

I'd like to know
how you are going to return the favour.

I do expect a little thanks.

What's wrong?

I'm unhappy in love.

If I were the girl, you'd be all right.

We lost an awful lot of fish. A pity.

The factory...

they're still pumping out pollution.

He'll get out of the way.

I'm sure she'll use the brakes.

[tyres screeching]

[exhales]

Not even a dog would be so stupid.

I'm not a dog.

- But you're not a man either.
- I am a man!

- A real man doesn't have to steal!
- What did I steal from you?

- I was only trying to protect you.
- Protect me?

Couldn't you feel it yourself?

No, I feel nothing at all.
I have no feelings for you!

Now, would you get out of my way,
you dirty liar?

You were interested in the commission,
that's all!

[gasps]

- Why didn't you stay away?
- I had to see you once again.

Be careful! He's dangerous!

To me, he's just nothing.

Be careful. If he gets hold of the wrench,
he could kill you, both of us!

I'm not that bad.

[Luke] Let me explain.

You're quite right, it was my plan
to use you at first.

But then, as we got on,
I fell in love with you.

All you thought of
was taking over the company.

Yes, in the beginning.

But now, that doesn't matter
in the least to me.

You can give all your money to charity,
I don't care!

What are we going to live on
if we haven't any money?

I'll get a job.

I've worked!

If I sell out or not,
it doesn't really matter.

The fish are dying from the factory water.

I'll go to the factory.
I'll see what they're up to.

Let's go, then.

[Luke] I'll hitch a lift somewhere.

Hey! Do as she told you,
or I'll get really mad.

Huh?

Get in.

Oh.

A visitor for you.

[Nancy] Hmm.

Nancy.

Don't speak to me now.

Save it for court.

- Take care of yourself, Luke.
- [Luke] Yeah.

- I'd like to help you...
- [door opens]

- but I just can't.
- [women gasp]

Don't be scared.

I just came to ask you
to withdraw the charges.

Don't worry, I dropped the charges.

I just hope I never see you again.

Ah! No problem.

I'll go. Hm!

They're against me but not you.

It's the power of love.

- [Luke] Tim.
- [Tim] Yeah?

Would you... do a job for me?

- Yeah.
- But I can't pay you.

Anything for a friend.

Come on.

[exhales]

[quietly] Ready?

Look, you don't have to do all that.

It pays to be cautious.

Listen, watch out for the guards.

I'll meet you right here
in 20 minutes, okay?

We might need to have evidence
that you were here.

Okay, let's go.

What kind of factory is this?

Hi.

How are you all?

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Well, I'll be seeing ya.

Bye! Have fun!

Oh...

a welcoming committee, huh?

Hi.

- What's this?
- Oh, just a little toy.

Wait!

- Get him!
- Don't move!

You'd better leave me alone.

How d'you get in?

- Hey! How d'you get in?
- Hello! Goodbye!

Stay where you are!

You're through!

Okay.

Okay, so you want trouble, do ya?

Go on! Go on!

[cracking]

[groaning]

Okay, boys! We got him now.

Tie him up.

Civil case no. 2346,

Yeh Fish Enterprises
versus Wah Chemical Works.

with application for an injunction
against the said chemical works

to suspend production.

Court is now in session.
The Honourable Judge Lo presiding.

[Luke grunting]

[Luke] Let me go. Let me go!

[Luke] Ow!

[Luke collapsing]

Give him another if he wakes up.

Hmm.

Filthy swine.

As I happen to be a relative
of the plaintiff,

I decided it was fair to entrust
all the specimen tests

to Hong Kong University's
oceanography laboratory,

our leading authority in this field.

Their analysis shows the lead content
is even 2% higher than in my results,

with 3% lower oxygen content.

[groaning]

Right, thank you, Miss Lee.

Your Honour, no more questions.

[Johnny] Hm?

Miss Lee, do you remember the oath
you gave the court

about telling the truth, and nothing
but the truth so help you God,

before testifying?

I remember it.

Well, Miss Lee,

please answer the following question
with absolute sincerity.

Do you love me or not?

[court murmurs]

Is he completely mad?

Your Honour, objection! It's irrelevant!

Objection overruled!

What the hell is this?

Let me decide
whether it's overruled or not.

Sorry, Your Honour.

I apologise.

Though I have good reasons
for asking such a question.

After she answers, I'll explain.

May I continue, Your Honour?

Hm.

Miss Lee, do you love him or not?

Please, Your Honour,
this is official business.

I'm here to testify
as an expert in this field--

I'm fully aware of your purpose here.

But besides being an oceanographic expert,
you're a woman as well.

And the court may object

if Counsel Lang asks another man
if he loves him or not.

That's not relevant.

However, it is normal for this man
to ask this woman

if she loves him or not.

That's perfectly in order.

And I see no objection if he asks
whether you love him or not.

So you are requested
to answer the question.

But, Your Honour, my private life
isn't relevant to this case.

No.

You must answer the question.

Do you love me or not?

Why must I answer that question here?

Because the answer given
outside this courtroom

doesn't mean anything.

And the answer given in this room
is given under your sworn oath.

I've got to have your answer now,

for your answer...

will be important,
both for the present case...

and for the future of you and me.

Oh.

I love you.

[spectators] Aw.

Your Honour, as we love each other...

And, as I represent the defendant:
That she's the plaintiff's cousin.

In the interests of justice,

it's my belief
that one of the parties here...

should withdraw from this case.

Therefore, Your Honour,
allow me to withdraw from the case.

Permission granted.

Case remanded for further hearing.

[crier] Court will rise.

Thanks for nothing.

I hate all men.

- [beeping]
- [yelling]

I didn't have a chance to finish.

I had a lot more questions to ask you.

- [tyres screech]
- Here. Keep the change.

Sorry, Miss Lee,
I'm here on a matter of life and death.

What is it?

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

See you later.

What is it?

Oh, it's nothing. You go on.
I'll join you later.

[man] Shall we go, Miss Yeh?

Take a taxi. I've got something to do.

[woman humphs]

- Here!
- Huh?

- Throw that into the sea.
- Right.

Hey! Hey!

Huh?

Stay right there!

- We came to--
- What?

- ...to find someone.
- [Tim] Hm.

- That someone's not here.
- Huh?

That's baloney.

We came in here together,
and I know he hasn't left yet.

If you ask me,
we got here just in the nick of time.

You shut it.

This factory is mine,
and I want you all out!

What?!

Don't be foolish.

Let's go.

They refine narcotics here.

Get them all!

- Don't worry. I'll take care of you.
- Prove it to me.

[yelling]

[Johnny yells]

[shrieks]

Now, Miss Lee,
I've got you where I want. [chuckles]

Tell me. [twice] You all right?

A headache.

Get him!

Hey, you!

[grunts]

You crook!

Get rid of him for good,
and you get half the company.

It's a deal.

You bastard!

Right!

Can I help you?

[strained] The police.

- Huh?
- Call the police.

Okay.

[fighting continues]

Police? Yes, hello, this is an emergency.

Can you come-- [screams]

You bitch, you.

I'll kill you for getting in our way!

Johnny! Johnny!

[yelling]

Leave me alone!

I'm gonna kill you!

That needle was poisoned!

You should cool off.

[fighting]

Nancy!

[chatter]

[Johnny] You all right?

- Does it hurt?
- No.

That was no place for you, you know.

- I had to protect you.
- I'm gonna protect you.

He looks like a skeleton.

Only, I tell ya,
he feels just like a ton of bricks.

Are you all right? What happened to Nancy?

- Oh, she's all right. We were just--
- Darling!

Darling?

[Tim] Hey!

[sirens in distance]

So much for friendship!
