Original subtitles

Mum, I'll get the dishes

Sister, where's Uncle Shi?

He's having a chat with Dad in the room

Quit doing that

You hit me

Who hit your brother?

Ji Bai is a no-good kid

Then why do you hit him?

It's Shin Bai's fault. He began grabbing dishes

If he wants to eat something, just give it to him

No need to hit him

Come down for dinner

Rough stew. Please help yourself

You're too kind

Please take a seat

It's great. You're a great cook

That's too kind of you

Shin Jiao. Here, you're the guest

Don't mention it. Everyone sit

Don't be shy

Sit. We'll chat afterward

Okay

Where's Ji Bai ?

Forget her

Ji Bai, just off from school?

Uncle Shi

Come here. Sit, sit here

Sit. Don't hit brother needlessly

Great. Let's raise a toast

Thank you

Yun Bai. You being the eldest sister ...

Raise a toast to Uncle Shi on behalf of all

I ... Uh

I knew you're shy

We'll toast to Uncle Shi

Uncle Shi is going to Tokyo tomorrow

Let's wish him a 'bon voyage'

Uncle Shi, bon voyage

Thanks. Come, all cheers

After you leave ...

I would soon be transferred to Macau Office

How come I didn't know? What about the family?

It's been decided these two days

This place is still the home

Kids study here. No moving around

But you going alone is not convenient

Maybe getting some quietness would be good

Right, I have a cousin in Macau too

You can find her if you have any need

I'll be too rude to take your offer

There's nothing to it at all

My cousin has always admired you

She reads your article all the time

Ever since I stepped into journalism

Ought to be grateful to you two

I mean you. Another also ...

You're just too kind. Come in

Say goodbye to Uncle Shi

Goodbye, Uncle Shi

Want me to buy you anything?

Uncle Shi, I want a machine gun

Okay, I'll get it for you

Ji Bai, how about you?

I'd like some scenery photos of Japan

Oh, don't mind them. Bye

Bye

See you

Uncle Shi, goodbye

Goodbye

Yang Hua Yuan

Wow, such airs !

Just a motorcycle. No big deal

I don't get it. He's not young

And yet has a roving eye for women

Mr. Luk seems such a gentleman

How did he meet that woman in Macau ?

She's the cousin of a newspaper colleague

He was the Chief of Macau Office once

And lived in her house

That's where they hooked up

And that was the woman's brother?

And he dared to come to see you !

Mum, when did Uncle Shi come back?

Should have asked him to stay for a while

You kids weren't at home. He's on business

Mum, I'm home

You good kid. Mum loves you

Mum, what did Uncle Shi bring back?

Yes, what gifts?

Wanting gift without cause. Shame on you

Uncle Shi said he'd buy machine gun

And a motorcycle for me

Dream on, kids

What do girls want motorcycles for?

Yang Hua Yuan had one

That's her business, not yours

You're so reckless, it could cause trouble

Quick. Come, zip me up

Disgusting

Damn, who'd sneak in like a thief?

Sister, in all fairness

That's the room for us two

How do I know you have guest?

What guest?

Chen comes everyday. He's no guest

I should have been at the doorway

Jin Bai asked me to help zip her up

So ... I'll be leaving now

Hey, wait. I won't be long

Don't touch my things

Let's go

You?

When did you come back?

I arrived in Hong Kong just yesterday

Never really expected, I ...

I wouldn't have a clue beforehand

Where's Tao Yan?

Tao Yan...

Chief Luk has a meeting tonight

He'll be back quite late

Did you feel sorry for me...

doing such a thing ?

Two years. Many things changed

You might have never thought

I don't know how to put it to you

I heard this news in Japan

Couldn't believe my ears !

Did brother-in-law in USA knew?

What did he say?

I don't think he's sad

He never thought of return after he left

He had his woman in USA

About Tao Yan, I have nothing to fear

His wife had shouted down to me

I had to hear all kinds of swear-words

I pretended I didn't hear it

And friends don't talk to me now

Not that I care

I only care about you

Cousin, think of the family he had

Think of the children he had

I did

But I can't help myself

I didn't want to ruin his family

If not for work ...

I always asked him to go home

You should understand Tao Yan

Before knowing me,

His love for his wife already...

I am leaving

You just arrived. Want to see him?

Not seeing him is good enough

Save the embarrassment

You're my most respected ones

What can I say?

I'll go back to office. They're waiting

Sister

Sister. A man came for you

A man?

And I had wondered who !

Sister said a man came for me

So she'd have meant you !

Ji Bai. What're you doing this weekend?

Nothing much

I'll take you for an outing in New Territories

Such a hot day

Better than staying at home

I don't think you're diligent at home

Can I have a go at it ?

You wouldn't know

Says who ? Let's see

You don't know

I don't? See here

That's gearbox, acceleration, and brake

Been watching everyday. I'm already deft at it

Ji Bai, you don't get it. It's very powerful

I'm serious. Get down

It'll be okay. Just okay

It's fine. I'll be careful

Come down. Quick, come down

How's that? I said I'll be okay

You're not used to it. Get down now

Lend me the motorbike, I'm craving for a ride

You can be absolutely sure of me

Ji Bai. Come down, come down

How's that now?

Let's see if you can walk. Does it hurt ?

How can you drive?

I said no, and you ignored

Headlight broken... mirror cracked

Damn it, how do you propose to compensate?

Oh, my legs !

That's your business, I don't care

Pay for the damage

I'll get you the payment

Looks bad

It'd involve major repair

How much?

400 dollars

400?

One month's salary for brother-in-law

And I wash clothes even with pregnancy

How do I get all that money?

I would have to wait for Dad to come

But Dad didn't even come back

And Yang Hua Yuan isn't so kind

Why don't you talk to Mum?

Mum would kill me if she knew

It's hard enough to get 4 dollars from her

Sister, I'm off now

Come take dinner first

Forget it

Wait

This is what's saved from the groceries

For the rest, you think about it

Sister, no. I won't need it

Keep it

Ji Bai, what's wrong?

So slow with baths. Get out now

I'll be out soon

What did you say?

The motorcycle is fixed

Why don't you go pick it up?

Lower your voice

I haven't got enough money. Wait a few days

Few days. Like How many days?

Why don't you ask your Mum

She has money for Mahjong games

Mum will kill me if she knows

I said don't ride. Why don't you listen?

Please help me. Maybe a few days

Uncle Shi

Ji Bai ? I thought you're Jin Bai

So big now

Uncle Shi. I didn't see you last time

Is Mum at home?

Yes

Why don't you chat inside?

Uncle Shi, after you. We still need to talk

I'll be with you soon

Come quick

Can you do me a favor ?

I'll get back the motorcycle after 2 days

Okay, I'll wait two days

If you don't get it by then ...

I'll tell your Mum

Got the Green Dragon Tile. Big win

I had waited all day for this tile

Shin Jiao, check this out

See, it's 'four in one colour'

I should have had Quadruple Win

That's a tough win

No wonder I am in bad luck

And this man reads book behind me

That's mighty unlucky thing to do

Don't blame him if you lose

He doesn't do anything to you

Lady, you play. I'll leave now

Stay a while. I'll have dinner afterwards

Twice you came and I didn't make good

That's shameful of me

Ji Bai. Take care of Uncle Shi for me

Ji Bai needs to do homework

No, Uncle. I'll be all right

You two can chat in the room

My room is very untidy

Anyway, we'll go inside

Okay

That's my sister's things. Please sit

Where's Jin Bai?

She's out with her boyfriend

Her boyfriend is from abroad

I heard it from your Mum

I didn't get to see you last time

I'm here now, ain't I ?

If you weren't here to see my Dad ...

I wouldn't get a chance to see you

Has your Dad returned home recently?

He'll be back next week

He promised that he'll stay one week each month

Has your mom's temper improved?

Still the same. Often yells

You have to be patient with her

Sure. Dad has been patient for 20 years

I have always seen the articles you wrote

I told my mates that it's you

That's hard journalism. Very boring

You kids won't like it

How's your homework lately?

Normal

You look taller now

You still talk in the same manner

I didn't change. How about you?

Me? What do you think?

You look like your old self

Only the odour is a bit thicker

What odour ?

Like Dad. You two are getting alike

Dad will come back next week

I wish he's home tomorrow

You have business with him?

Not really. You can tell me

Maybe I can help you

Nothing much

Remember when I first knew your dad

You were in first standard

You did homework on my lap

And I sharpened pencils for you

You used to tell me everything then

Things even your Dad didn't know

Didn't have the nerve to keep them from you

I don't believe you

What could be so embarrassing ?

Maybe after all those years apart

We became a bit distant

Telling Dad about it is shameful enough

I know. You want money from Dad

I've got this experience too

I've asked Dad money behind Mum's back

Now what do you need money for?

I broke someone's motorcycle

Is it fixed? How much?

Still 300 dollars short

No, I can't take your money

Why not?

Uncle Shi's money is like your Dad's

Your Dad has been so kind to me

I'd be happy if I can be of some help

No, mom will scold me for this

I won't tell. Then she won't know

I have come back from Tokyo in a rush

And I didn't buy a proper gift for you

Let's make it a gift for you this time

No, I don't want it

That's our secret

Tell me if you have problem in the future

I'll come to your help

What's it? You break up with her?

Forget it

What is it?

With boyish look you'll think she's tough

But she's just a mean bitch

A motorcycle can't compare with years of friendship !

You want a ride home now?

To hell with your rides !

Ji Bai, how about I give you a lift?

How do you know my name?

Simple. My cousin is in your class

You're beautiful. You're famous

Excuse me, I am Hung Shin

Two years senior

Please go away

We're not interested. Ignore him

He's your cousin?

His nickname is 'Dictionary of Women'

You look beautiful

Sister, home already?

None of your business

We're going for a movie. Coming?

Let's go

I wouldn't like to intrude in your date

What're you barging in for?

You look better than our Second Sister

Damn kid

Be careful. Don't run into her

Otherwise she'll make you return it

Shut up. Don't tell her when she returns

... or I'll skin you alive

Uncle Shi

You looking for someone?

You looking for Mr. Shi?

He went out

Hey, don't recognise me ?

If it weren't for the voice, I wouldn't know

What happened to you?

Look. I'm a little taller, ain't I ?

Don't see any difference

What's going on?

Nothing. Can't I just come to see you ?

Yeah, sure. You're welcome ...

Welcome me like that?

Okay, please come in and sit

Unfortunately I have an appointment

That's unfortunate only if you can't avoid

Beg your pardon ?

You didn't say you'll come

How can you say I'm avoiding ?

Take a seat. What would you like?

Uncle Shi, you have everything. Cozy

Not much as a matter of fact

Uncle Shi, you're so organised

Well, I like that

But like any room anywhere

It takes two people to be neat

Plain tidiness is just not enough

Like my second sister... yuck !

Everything in disorder

Living with her would be no fun

Sit a while. I'll go get changed

Okay

Uncle Shi, do you hate your cousin?

Pardon ?

My mom said you told her you hated your cousin

How's things at home?

Good old way. Mum shouting at people

Your mom has her own problems

You should try to understand her

Sorry, I can't keep you company now

And I thought you'd take me to dinner

Or I'll invite you over for dinner at home

Not today. Maybe another day?

Another day? I can see you another day?

Sure you can

But drop that makeup next time

Why?

I feel bad when kids make up like that

And I feel dizzy with the perfume

Get up, get up

How dare you take my dress and perfume!

I didn't

Don't lie. I have informers

Look... that's my perfume !

Thief, you mixed water. Damn it !

What the heck ? It ain't getting any less

Kill you, you bitch

What is it that you want ?

I'll smack you. Let's see if you dare repeat it !

Kill you, bitch

Damn kid

Drop dead or else

You hit me, oh you

Go on ...

What's with you? You're all mad?

Mum, she had my perfume

It has been purchased from household money

Why can't I use it?

Lair, that's Chen's gift to me

Chen... all for his Rubber Plantation

And you're shameless kids

So grown. And yet fight in front of juniors

Have you no shame? Go to bed

Mum, I'll never sleep with her

Ji Bai. Sleep with Li Bai

I'll move. No big deal.

Who's there?

It's me

Hang on

Good morning

Good morning

In such a nice weather you'll just sleep

What a waste!

You don't know when I got to sleep !

You should go out on Sunday

Sleep a bit less is fine

Sunday is for school kids

We workers know no Sunday

I have moved

Moved ! Where to ?

I moved in with Li Bai

Then who lives with Jin Bai?

I hate living with her

Why?

She has a boyfriend

Having boyfriend is normal

In future you'll have one too

I have one now

What?

Nothing

You have a girlfriend?

Girlfriend? Says who?

Mum says

How did Mum know?

Don't lie. See here

This is my cousin. What're you doing?

Who's looking for me? Speak up

I'm not looking for you for money

You haven't eaten ! Let's eat together

Are you free in the afternoon ?

Well, I did have something

But since you're here

Where do you want to go ?

I don't care. As long as we're together

How about watching a movie with Shiu Bai?

I don't care for movies

Then what do you like?

Let's go to the countryside

Countryside?

Coming to this place. So boring !

Shush. It's quiet, filled with romance

People will think we're lovers

Doesn't it look like that ?

Oh, come on !

Ji Bai, it's late. Let's go back

Let me lie around for a while more

Dad

Ji Bai

Dad, when did you come back?

Yesterday night. You were all sleeping

So I didn't wake you up

Dad, you look thinner than last time

Dad has been busy. Go freshen up

Wait

Who gave you this letter ?

I don't know

Ji Bai

I'm always away from home

Mum can't watch all that by herself

When doing things or making friends

You have to be extra careful

You're up before the sky lights up

I thought we're on your way back

Ji Bai, I know my letter is sneaky

And you wonder how I know your name

I bet you feel stranger now that ...

How do I know your address !

Actually it's very simple

If a guy watches out for someone

He'll be open for all kinds of news

My cousin has this prejudice about me

Please don't take it to heart

Hung Shin

Quick. Dad is back

Dad is back

Back from Tokyo you went to meet your cousin

She saw your discontent. She's so sad

So she requested me to speak to you

Hoping you can understand

I didn't blame her

Shin Jiao, the thing with Shin Yue

The society nor the colleague understands

Even my family and my kids don't

Not that I care

I only care for you

I've been trying to say, all my life ...

I have been living for others

But now I live for myself

What I did... I don't care wrong or right

I won't regret anymore

When would you go back ?

Earliest next morning

Don't you feel tired with all the running?

Your body can handle it?

Not really

What is it?

Nothing. I'm just hanging on

Chief Luk, when did you arrive?

A few days ago. Wang, you well?

I'm fine

You're even thinner. Is work difficult?

Just fine

Chief Luk, make yourself at home

Okay

Come to my house if you've got time

My kids really like you

And they listen to you

Come often to my place

I hope that'd be of some help

Of what help can I be to anyone ?

Lan Ching said you cared for Ji Bai

Problematic family has problem kids

Especially Ji Bai. Quite smart

But doesn't study hard

She's the one I'm most concerned about

You'll never have thought it's me

Not a clue

Where did you come from?

Home

At this late an hour ?

It's only late for others

To you it's very early

I'm different. Used to night-life, you know

You're kids. You have a class tomorrow

I've just arrived. And you want me to leave?

You look scared when you see me

Ji Bai is smart, but just doesn't study hard

I am off to work

That's too early

Last night at nine I called up here

You hadn't left then

Last night?

Last night I got back late from an appointment

You call dating girlfriend an appointment

What?

Nothing

Uncle Shi, are you getting married?

I talked to Dad about you last night

What about me?

He said he worried about you most

Worry about me?

What's there to worry about me ?

Don't you think I am very good now?

He said you're smart but just don't apply yourself

And I knew you'd try to kick me out

It's an excuse to kick me out

I'm not kicking you out

Time's up. I don't have time for you

And I don't need you. Suit yourself

You can be sure I don't steal things

So you can let me stay here

When I've left why would you stay here for ?

I can read a book

No book here fit for your reading

Teacher told me to read extra books

I have none at home. You've so many at your place

And this place is so quiet

You'll really read a book here?

You don't want me to study hard?

I really wanna be studious. Will you encourage me?

Relax, go to your work

I'll read books here

I'll go when it's time

Just lock the door on your way out

I don't want to push you. But leave soon

Okay, bye-bye

Ji Bai...

Wake up

Uncle, you're back ? I'm dizzy

How did you get drunk?

I don't know

I felt boring

That's rubbish

Touch my head

Is it burning?

That's no fever. Get up. I'll call a taxi

I'm not going. I'll sleep a while

How can you not go? Get up and go

Get up. Up

Dress up now

Uncle, I have a question

Will you answer me?

Question? What question?

You've ever had a girlfriend ?

I told you. I haven't got one

What about before?

Quick. Get up. I'll get a taxi

Yes, it's No.10 Ching Shui Road

Please send a taxi over right away

Quicker the better

You still haven't got up. Taxi will be here soon

I can't hold myself. I can't get up

Come hold me up a bit

Uncle, I love you

Ji Bai, watch it. I'll forgive you this time

You're totally drunk

That's the 'truth' behind 'drunkenness'

Don't say that. You're just a kid

You think I'm not mature yet

Listen, the taxi is here. Get dressed

Or uncle will be mad at you

Okay, I'll take you back myself

No way

Why do you avoid me ?

I didn't

Why won't you lay eyes on me?

I'm looking at you now

You don't love me?

You really don't? Not one bit?

Do you know love at all?

Sure I do

Oh, then tell me

I can feel it but can't say it

You don't know love at this age

Love is not a lip service

I didn't just offer you lip service

Ji Bai, if you're one step off the line

You'll regret it for the rest of your life

That's nonsense

One step off. You stand up again

What has that got to do with a lifetime?

Ji Bai

I hate you. I hate your guts

Did you receive my letter?

How do you know my address?

This is a secret

Would you like to join our masquerade?

I have no time

That'll take no time

I'll call you again when time is right

Let's get together. Relax a bit

What're you doing?

Ji Bai. Be careful

Careful of what?

You know that cousin of mine

He likes to fall in love with pretty girls

There is nothing wrong in that

No, you don't think it's too early ?

When is the right time then?

Maybe when we're mature

What if it's a little precocious?

That's out of norm

Just like my cousin

Learn it all so young

Dance, smoke, making girlfriends

That's hopeless of him

Sister, are you going out tonight ?

Do your homework. Be quiet

Sister, it's yours

Who'd have called ?

I don't know. It's a guy

Hi, are you Uncle Shi?

It's me

Me, who ?

I'm looking for you

You can't tell from the voice?

Oh 'Dictionary of Women'?

Don't blabber about my cousin

So? Have time?

Me?

Is Jin Bai at home?

No idea

I'll pop in and look

What took you so long?

I got dolled up and waited for you so long

I went for a haircut

Look at this glove. Small and tight

Go quickly. Already seven

Go and be quick

Hello...

Say something. How about I come & pick you up ?

Okay

Do you know manners?

Give a seat to the lady

There. Let's move over there

Take a seat

This is Dong, Fatty Fong, and Fei

Your folks at home?

Mom went out for a dance, and I at home

Your mom doesn't care about you ?

She never asks

I can do whatever I want

Come dance

I can't dance

Don't worry. It's as easy as walking

Just dance to the music, okay

Great, you're a natural

And you smoke?

I smoke when I'm bored

You're bored even at night?

I'll quit smoking if you hate it

You'll do whatever I say ?

Why're you staring ?

You're altogether another type

You're different from other girls

Really?

Let's me give you something

It's a memorable night

I've tried to meet up with you a few times

You seem very busy these days

And you think only you're busy?

You're still mad at me?

Ask yourself

I can only hope the best for you

Your Dad told me to take care of you

I know

Or else you won't come

I hope you can become ...

an understanding and gentle lady

Maybe in 10 years time

What do you think?

You may think it wrong now

What a laughable idea

But it's not 10 years yet

We'll talk about it afterwards

What's on your neck? Who brought it?

I brought it. Just for the fun of it

I don't wanna delve in the details

No need to explain

My boyfriend brought it. Don't be nosey

Boyfriend already? You're too young

Young or old is not your concern

You're way too young now

It's a bit immature for you

One wrong choice and you may get hurt

Actually I AM already hurt

You only know how to discipline

You think my head is all blank

I'm not disciplining. Ji Bai, I care for you

Are you free? Let's go to the cinema

Only us two?

Of course not

Shiu Bai and Shin Bai are at home

Let's get them all to come

I know you don't mean it

That's crazy. He's the man of the house

He hasn't come home in two months

Mrs. Luk, you're way too kind to him

What can I do? I just play Mahjong

You'll play Mahjong even if he's at home

In short, men are fickle in heart

Can't help it, damn thing

I have a way to take care of him

He can't get away from it next time

I'll waste him every night

Then he'll have nothing for a mistress

That sure is a crazy idea

Where are you going?

Going out again?

Even on a holiday you don't stay at home

Mind you. Don't be obsessive

It's your turn

Ji Bai, is your mom home?

Mum, someone's asking for you

Who is it?

Come out and see

Who is it now?

Sister-in-law, it's me

Ji Bai, you stay back. It's something serious

You don't need to tell me that

What brings you all the way here ?

Sister-in-law. Tao Yan is sick

Sick? Must be pretending

Don't ever come back if he dares to

I don't care about him

And you can't hide form me

He's really sick. He's in Hong Kong

What? He didn't come home on return?

We're no better than a motel !

Sister-in-law, stop being angry now

He's in the hospital

I got a long distance call this morning

Went to the pier to see him at noon

He had to be admitted to the hospital

Why, what's wrong with him ?

Lung problem. Chronic and worsened

Which hospital is it ?

Our Lady of Maryknoll'

Um... my Dad is in here now?

You're Ji Bai?

Who is it?

Come in

Dad

Ji Bai

Don't worry. Dad is still alive

Ji Bai, grab a seat

Greet auntie Shi

Auntie

I have seen you from your Dad's photo

I can tell just from the look of you

Did Uncle Shi tell you I'm in the hospital?

Where's mum?

Mum is at home

She'll be here later

I'll take a walk. I'll be back

Ji Bai, take Auntie to find an apartment

She's not acquainted with Hong Kong

She can keep you company

I can take care of myself

Help Auntie with the luggage

Let me get it

It's okay, I can handle

Aunt Shi, are you all right?

I haven't had a good sleep for days

I can't get myself together

Aunt Shi, how's Dad's condition?

We've got to wait for the diagnosis

And he lied to me

You know your Dad

He won't stay crippled on bed

It's over here

Here it is

Cheapest that there is. 10 dollars a day

Okay, I'll take this one

Okay

Let me

Aunt Shi, you haven't slept for days

Take a good sleep now. I'll run along

It's okay. If you're not busy

Let's have a meal together

No, I'm going for a matinee with friends

It's nearly two now

Ji Bai

I won't take it

You'll need it for dinner and transport

I don't need it

Take it

Think of it as your Dad's

When you get to the hospital

And Mum is not in, give me a call

I have already apologized

What's all this fuss about?

Think of me at the restaurant

I have been awaiting you for hours

Long past the movies, and you're not in

How will I know Dad would suddenly fall sick ?

I don't do it intentionally

Hung Shin, you're finished

I have never been so obsessive

With a girl like this before

But I am a fool

What's wrong?

I have a tummy ache

Perhaps it could be something I ate out

You okay? Let's go to the doctor

Where's Mrs. Chau? Mrs. Chau

Stop it, Mrs. Chau is off. It'll be okay

I'll go inside and lie down

Then I will run to the hospital to Dad

I know your Dad is important

But think of me in this critical condition

I'll accompany you for 10 minutes more

Whatever you want !

You okay? How about some tea?

I'm aching like hell

Maybe it's flu. Your head's hot?

I don't know

What're you doing?

You mad? What's going on?

I'm not sick. I just want you

Please no

No, please don't. Please no

You regret now?

I shouldn't trust you

I have to go

Little Miss, your Dad's sickness

Is he all right?

Don't be sad. Auntie is close to you all

If any misfortune befalls your Dad

I'll never leave you with orphaned

Thank you, Aunt Wang

I just want to be by myself quietly

I've been thinking. All along in Macau

If I can just be an average journalist

I would get to know you

We'll be living together for 30 years

It's only a little more than 3 years

But it's worth the life of 30

I have no regrets

Although there are many people

Almost everyone thought we're wrong

Do you think we're wrong?

We are. I told you from the start

We're wrong. Let's admit to it

But I will be wrong to the end of life

If I am wrong, I have no regret

Not one bit

You're not young. You have no shame

Are you wishing for an earlier death?

What do you lean on him for?

Let me tell you

He's sick because of the life in Macau

I warn you. I'll take this case to the court

You get lost. Just disappear

With a foot ahead I'll leave & return with rear step

Shameless

She doesn't know I will be back

Tao Yan. You have been sick to heart

I am doing you a favour

We have been man and wife

I am faithful to you all along

Tomorrow I'll kick out that Shi woman

Thank you. I would like to make a call

Okay

Please put me through to Miss Shi of Room 202

What? She left already?

Where did you go?

I went back for a while

To Macau?

I sold the house

Ji Bai... You still didn't go home?

Read a book at home

Study hard even if no-one urges you

Like Uncle Shi

He rose to his position by his diligence

Ji Bai, you okay? Are you sick?

What's wrong?

Ji Bai

Aunt Shi, I'm not disgusted seeing Dad like that

I don't know why... feel like throwing up

You're tired, with all your running around

Go home and rest

I'll accompany you

No, I'll walk

I've been bored at home

Lucky you called

I need your help

What is it?

What is it?

I'll tell you. I'm pregnant

What?

What's with you?

It can't be

It's never happened to me

How long has it been ?

Two weeks

Crazy. We only did it once

You think I'm lying ?

I didn't say that

What, you regret now?

I never regret for what I did

Try to hide your regret?

Since that thing that time

You never tried to console me

Like I am just plain unlucky

I think you too are unfortunate

Only that one time

You... what do you mean?

What do you think we should do?

I don't know. You tell me

I have no idea

Your Aunt is a gynecologist

No her. She's an old fool

She'll get us all into trouble

Let's marry then

Marry? What do we live on?

Two high school kids

What do we live on after we are married ?

Then what can I do?

How do I know what you can do

Be serious, I have been thinking

You might have affair with other guys

... and trying to make me a scapegoat

I thought you're suspicious all along

Oh yeah? I take back what I said

I will never marry you if you regret later

Sister, I want to ask you something

What is it?

I have a classmate. She got married

She was poor. And she's pregnant

She's requested me to ask around

How much does an abortion cost?

Why abortion?

It's her own decision. Doesn't want to have a child

I had thought of abortion

Maybe it's too early to have kids

But your brother-in-law refused. So ...

I asked around, too. It costs about a grand

1000 dollars ?

Miss, where did you buy this?

It's just electroplated. You've been cheated !

Take this away

Brother

Sorry to wake you up

I didn't sleep. Shin Yue will be back

She went to the church

It's better she's not here. Let's talk

Maybe we won't get a chance later

Brother

I ...

My sickness is terminal, cannot be cured

Brother, have faith and rest

Medical science advances quickly

They will soon come up with a cure

No need for this. I knew my condition

I have had a lot already

I have no regrets in life

Shin Yue is brave too. She has her way

I have no worries

And I don't worry about my kids

Only Ji Bai

Ji Bai

Ji Bai is smart

Since I took ill this time

I learned this girl is impulsive

This way she'll take the wrong turn

Shin Jiao, please take care of her

I understand. Please relax

Thank you. I've been taking up your time

You go home now

Don't let him be there all alone

It's okay. He's still sleeping in there

Maybe he's too tired

He told me a lot before you came back

Did he tell you he vomitted blood yesterday?

Vomited blood?

Yesterday he felt very bad

Suddenly he just vomited blood

And he went comatose... so scary !

Why did he vomit blood?

Esophagus rupture

The doctor gave him transfusion

Luckily it wasn't that profuse. Or he'd have died

What did the doctor say?

It's time to prepare for the funeral

Does anyone else know?

She didn't come today

Ji Bai was here last night

It's good she didn't see him vomit

Or she would be scared

I haven't seen Ji Bai for a while

Actually you both came in at different times

She had day classes. You had a night shift

She comes everyday?

Not really. Not recently

She came in a hurry

Left quickly as well

I wonder what she is rushing at

How much?

One thousand

One thousand?

Is it a lot ?

What do you need it for?

I thought you told me before

If I'm in trouble

I can come to you

That's our secret

So tell me, what is this money for?

Did you crash a motorcycle again?

Forget it if you won't lend me

I won't tell you what I need it for

Perhaps I shouldn't have come

Since what happened last time

I thought I would never come here again

I didn't say I refuse you

Ji Bai, I don't care if you're mad at me

If you're in trouble and need help

Then you won't be disappointed

If I can do anything to help

I'll do all I can to help you out of it

Thank you

Ji Bai...

Uncle, hurry... to gynaec ward

Call Operation Room

Yes

How did that happen?

She tripped over

She has to be extra careful

Who are you?

I ...

Is she your wife?

Nurse Wang, please wait

Quick, inform her parents

Get her husband over too

If not, we can't do the operation

We won't be responsible for your delay

Her parents didn't know

I'm her fiance

Then you should be ashamed

She's just a kid. You're not young

Okay, fill the form outside please

Yes

Don't be afraid. I'm here

Let her lie. She'll be okay with rest

How do you feel?

Better now

Good

I owe you

Why didn't you ask me?

Ask me who's the father

No need

I've given it a lot of thought

I should share some responsibility

Ji Bai, when I saw you in surgery

I had a strange thought

What about ?

I was thinking, were it my child ...

you wouldn't have unnecessarily suffered

Ji Bai, you should have told me

Do you want to come in and sit?

No, you take some rest

No

Buy some nutritious stuff

No need

Take it

What did your father think of me?

He said, pretty good

When would he return to Malaysia?

He's booked for day after tomorrow afternoon

Then you didn't tell him about it

I can't wait anymore

But it isn't confirmed

You better go to hospital tomorrow for tests

Wouldn't I know myself ?

While your Dad is here, let's marry

Or at least have the engagement

If you aren't sincere ...

I will have the child aborted tomorrow

Abort?

Abortion... don't want it

Sister, no. Please don't

Who let you eavesdrop on us ?

Don't do that. I'll talk to Dad

Sorry. It wasn't deliberate

I did it for your own good

Actually it was nothing of that sort

I just meant to scare him

Don't tell

Or you're dead

Tao Yan

Sister-in-law

Sister-in-law

Dad

Please don't die, Tao Yan

Sister-in-law

You can't die

Sister-in-law

Tao Yan

Sister-in-law

Leave, all of you

Aunt Shi, would I see you again?

Welcome to Macau any time

I think you'll come to Hong Kong again

Because my Dad is buried here

I'll write to you before I come

Go home now. Bye

Goodbye

Go now

Ji Bai...

A pleasure seeing you, it's been so long

Let's have tea and chat over at Maxim's

Not necessary. See you

I know you still hate me

Why would I hate you ?

You... what happened later?

I don't quite understand

Maybe you've forgotten. You said ...

Oh that, I remember now

Did you ...

No, there's nothing to it

But you said ...

Said what?

Why didn't you tell me? I worried so much

Then it was because you avoided me

Not avoid. I'm scared

No need to be scared hereafter. See you

Ji Bai, I find that you've matured a lot

Really?

Gust after gust the wind blows past me

Blew away the knot in my heart

Dream after dream to go with wind

The past life drifted away like smoke

Precocious girls getting lost in this world

Love after love, hate after hate

A bright future awaits when you've grown & matured

Please cherish a happier tomorrow
