In Hong Kong, there are 2 unique regions

kowloon walled city and runnie's mill

as the civil war in China ended in 1948,

many kuomintang officials fled to hk

the hk govt resettled them in runnie's mill

they're mainly from the northern provinces

their young girls are tough workers and are very free spirited

besides, with the northern blood,

they're taller and more shapely

many have entered the entertainment world.

Among the famous are chen yu-lien, wen pi-hsia...

Chi Mei-chen, Lily chen, hui ying-hung...

Pan hsi-yi, wang hsiao feng.

Others have not been so fortunate and have become ballroom hostesses

our story is about two of such girls

ling and blackie

they are both neighbours and classmates

since their families are poor

they have to

take part time jobs

they are always together

and people call them twin dolls

Go out and play. Bring these

I've come to sponge on you

Help yourself!

Thank you, uncle

I moved heaven and earth

bringing her in

take good care of her

angel, take it!

Sit down first

why didn't you go to work today?

You got me into a hell lot of trouble

don't come to see me anymore

why?

When I was moving around last night

that fat dame tailed me again

my wife tailed you? What did you do then

I hid myself in a corner

and popped out to scare her!

Then I took a taxi and made off

no wonder she disappeared last night

are you afraid

yes, yes!

Where have you been?

I was testing my car!

What kind of a car, darling?

Toyota! It's lousy!

It's over $200,000

a sports benz would have been better

you've so many cars!

You promised to sell me one cheap

be nice,

and I'll give you one

I want a sports benz

what model?

7808s

7808s is out of production

okay! Okay...

$3,700? Are you getting rich?

That boutique boss

gave me 50% discount

well,

tell her I no longer work here

is she getting you into trouble?

No, she's in charge of a beauty pageant

she wants me to take part in it

bitch, do you take me for a friend?

What?

You must have a lot of extra money

what do you mean?

Stop acting you have a bleeper

A bleeper in my handbag?

Well,

I'll bet anything with you

Here you are. Show me!

Bitch, I was right

are you a dancing hostess?

Only for a few months, and for tea dance only

why? Are you hard put?

No, I need extra money for dresses

ling, let me tell you my experience

I was a dancing hostess for a few months

now, I can't help getting a start

whenever meeting an ex-client

in the street

I decided to, at the end of last month

but then I met someone

who fell for me

and desire to cash in on our relationship

you must make up your mind once and for all

he promised to give me a sports benz

why care about it if you're quitting?

A sports benz? It's over $300 thousand!

Are you sure he'll give you one?

It depends on how you bewitch him

don't become his darling so soon

or he'll stop

spending money on you

what? All over how?

I can see it from the way you look

you think you have a way with men?

You aren't going so steady with Kent

we're steady as rocks we're true feelings

how sentimental! How romantic! Disgusting!

You're jealous

because you're not so lucky

you have no one but hung

what a nut! Would I fall for him?

Would I be so tasteless?

Who's so tasteless?

You aren't hired here

for a show

why don't you just be models?

Now, everything's a mess

why don't you just make up? Disgusting?

Too foolish!

Now I give you just one more chance

next time I'll report to the boss

back to work!

What's the big deal? Damn...

Where's the tissue?

Nobody outside?

Sorry

is there a miss

Virginia wong here?

Go in, the third desk on the 2nd row

thanks

what's your name, please?

My last name is tsao

tsao? It sounds familiar

I thought my husband had two lovers

an office girl and a dancing girl

so you're two in one

mrs tsao, let's go out and talk

last time you said

there was no room for us

are you going to forsake my husband?

Alright, you win

I won't see him anymore

Sign this letter of repentance

what is it?

Confess adultery

with my husband

apologize and promise not to see him anymore

otherwise, pay $1 million

I've brought a camera

I always keep my promise

I don't know her! She... she's mad!

Me, mad? You're mad!

You're muttering nonsense!

Shut up! This is an office quiet!

Wait a minute, manager

I didn't admit her,

but she broke in herself

you...

So you're ganging up

everybody! Everybody!

Your girl staff

seduced my husband

I'll report to the police!

It's your personal affair

there's a saying:

A domestic affair can't be settled in court

you must be the manager

may I ask

if your female staff are permitted

to work as dancing girls after office?

Oh! My god!

Will you come in?

Where are you going?

Can't you quit?

If you quit,

it means you admit it

wait, let me search

what for?

You're taking her for a thief?

You're drunk!

Let's talk about it after work

I've known that bitch

for over 10 years

we worked together

at Shanghai

I was then the queen there

she was a wallflower!

An ugly chicks

and she always sponged on my guests

I try so hard

to get customers for her

you know? Understand?

You're drunk

I won't take it seriously

I need money to pay a loan shark

but you won't care

to borrow from the company

I already borrowed

three times for you

do you want me

to be chopped to pieces?

Ease your heart

I need your help

to pay up my debt

but you took me away in no time

miss, they won't take you not my fault!

You mean not one single guest wants me?

Am I ugly?

Do I have body odor?

Well, don't think I don't know it

you slipped money into Lulu's pocket

and you

introduced them some good guests

I'm not that smart

damn you, don't frame me! I'll get you

stop that! Stop that!

How dare you?

Stop that...

Go to hell

what now, Lulu?

I lost my jaw. What now?

Not my fault!

She ran against me

I know

she has a loose jaw

she doesn't hold her chin when talking

she used it several times it can be fixed

you know? Understand?

Lulu, what now?

Frankly, I take the most care of her

each time I helped her

get guests

I got her extra hours

on several occasions

she's even got lines

on the ass

anyway, people in our line never end up well

I mixed with bad company and got this

you're good-looking and educated

what is it

that got you glued?

Save up some money while young

and find yourself a good husband

we have nothing to look forward to

Where to?

I'm confused

I can't make up my mind

where are you going?

Ball room or wo hop shek

ball room or wo hop shek?

Crematorium, pal! Go!

We must make the bed the sheet has to be changed!

Go away! What a nuisance!

It's hardly dawn

it's hardly dusk and you sleep here

what lousy living room and bedroom

bitch!

We must try to move out

of this doghouse

I have in mind a pink house

with at least four bedrooms

hua, aren't we a bit too choosey?

I think so

at least I don't want to be another sha shih

she'll end up a whore

frankly,

how many times did you do that?

I'm not sure if I ever did that

stop acting let me tell you first

I did it seven times

I did it about six times only

I did it free on two occasions

how stupid! Don't think you're romantic

how about yourself?

Well, what shall we do then?

I think we'll do it three times weekly

averagely $1500 each session

that means $4500 a week

so we can get out of the gutter in a year

one year has 52 weeks

52 x $4500

that means a cool $234,000

and we must add our regular income

that makes more than half a million

we can buy a nice flat then

no, let's get into business

a foot wear shop?

Business?

It's utopia!

Why not? We can learn

let's try let's be more easygoing

I'm quite easygoing

well, if I meet someone

who's rich,

kind and gentle

I'll jump at it!

Bullshit!

You can't ask for this and that

we must debase ourselves a bit

we'll do it so long as it's not too bad

let's start as of tonight

so soon?

I'm not yet mentally prepared

hell with you!

since we were now to that place

we were only given lousy girls

then I cast a glance at the dance floor

and saw two pretty girls dancing

one of them was Carmen

then I told mammy to bring her to us

we found ourselves in a real fix

she's not a dancing hostess

she came for fun

with some friends from abroad

in fact, she's a secretary

so we came to get acquainted

sorry for the misunderstanding

she's as pretty as

a dancing girl

well, let's not talk about it

luckily a call ended our embarrassment

what are you planning to do now?

You all know

this is a party for mr Maxwell

we normally held

him in awe, but

we do miss him as he's leaving us

by popular request,

we're asking your girlfriend

to present him

this souvenir

good

please present the souvenir

thanks

Thanks, miss Carmen

Thank you

You promised to give me

plastic flowers

you own a plastic factory

are you so greedy?

Creep, I know you were joking

well, thank you I won't bother you

keep your mind on the meeting

you're coughing

remember to see a doctor bye-bye

another one fixed

I want to cover my roof with artificial turf

plastic flowers, trees,

twining creepers

and turn it into a plastic flower garden

what good are plastic flowers?

They never wither

and need no watering

what else can you get from your guest?

Ma is a feng shui specialist

he can tell feng shui for us

and Yang is a clock dealer

tell him to send you a clock

damn, it's taboo

Peter lam deals in ulferts furniture

choy is in lighting fixtures business

wong owns a bookshop

tell him to send you an encyclopedia

to pretend a man of considerable culture

damn you!

This room is used to play mahjong

you'll lose for sure

by the way,

your boyfriend hung works at a site

see what he can offer you

he'll jump

at the chance

the wall outside is awkward

cover it with ceramic tiles

sure, but it costs money

scaffolding is expensive

anyone not afraid of height?

Dare you do it at mid-air?

The firemen group

Carmen

do I have to pay you?

Damn, I never do it with my guests

don't hurt my pride

ask Lulu if you don't believe me

sorry

Where's Lulu?

She's inside

Don't. Lulu

- you know what her trouble is? - I don't want to live

her flame is heartless

he's run away with her savings

Lulu, stop crying

don't

I'm star-crossed I'm middle-aged and

my son's

left me behind

none of my darlings are true to me

don't

am I to live to suffer? I'd better die

Lulu,

what's wrong?

Let go

don't. Lulu

don't. Lulu

Carmen, brother piao is urging

okay

Ann, send her home & watch her

till I return

oh, no!

My husband may kill me if

I don't return before 3 am

don't worry, I'll get there at 2:30

go out! Piao's getting impatient

Thank you, piao

what? Are you taking us for nuts? We've waited for an hour

sorry, sha pi

my big brother says

you & porche must do it

the others will take care of themselves. Change

sorry, piao

it was mammy

she shouted & threatened to kill herself

I must keep her company tonight

thank you. Thank you, piao

he wants you because he looks up to you, understand?

Piao

stand up

what? Don't make excuses

stop acting to win sympathy

let's have snacks

tomorrow we'll spend the night. Okay?

Change and get in

get out

what are you doing?

You're damned...

You wretch, don't be cocky

I must have you two tonight

piao, don't

shut up

I've been a gentleman,

but you've gone too far

if 1 tell you, you know

you deserve being beaten up

since I've come to dance

no girls have ever turned me down

but you two let me down

once and again

you want to move

you took one carload

after another from my shop

without even thanking me

don't take yourselves for virgins

it's coming

oh, my buttocks! My piles!

Bit them up

It's not the end

How about Lulu?

It's past three

I want to see Lulu

no taxi. What now?

Quick

Help! Someone's killing herself

help! Someone's committing suicide

Lulu, open up! Help!

Smell of gas

come on, quick! Here! Come on

come on, excuse me

quick

let's climb in through the terrace

I already told Ann to watch her

well? Okay?

What now?

Hurry, open the window

hurry up

Lulu. Don't scare me! Lulu

call me ambulance at once

we promised to keep her company

do I have to appear in court?

I won't attend it it's so awkward

around four

can we apply

to withhold our names?

Can we just put miss x?

Why are you two bruised?

We fell into

a gutter last night

was she tired of living?

I'm hiding what I do from my family

please allow me

not to appear in court

she said she didn't want to live

please help me

now I don't want to live either

Let's combine to fight

for her funeral expenses

it's your turn! Come here

Hey, it's them

hey, what are you doing here?

Miss, take photo

no

Got molested?

What are you doing? I'll get you

I'll sue you

was the deceased dressed?

Don't go

Run quickly

follow them

So we've moved and luck's been against us since

business in the dance hall is so slack

going to work is like mourning

oh, heaven,

why do you always rain?

Why don't you bless me with money?

It's so boring I must quit

I don't want to be men's plaything

dad wouldn't heed me now

I can't sleep all these days

frankly, let me ask you something

do you ever regret having been in this?

I quitted and am back to it I really am a nut

how long are we going to go on?

Let's see how...

We can "strip"

quit! You think of nothing but stripping

quit if you are rich; Strip if you are not

hold it! By the way

why have you not been around with that young jockey?

Don't talk about that shorty he's cheap

he gave me lousy tips on two occasions

and I lost over $4,000 as a result

you're not being friendly

you always said no

when I asked for tips

I knew they were not "sure win" ones

you should've thanked me for

not having

made you lose, bitch

asking me to talk terms with you

let's gang up

you go to bed with him

and ask him for tips for a no.1 win

before giving yourself to him

this is called monkey sun's strategy capture before the spear

the suns' strategy

it makes no difference

don't put on airs

we're going to be rich let's stake

all we've got on it

you must take care

he could trap you

I don't think he dares

he runs the risk of losing me forever

if we win, we'll have everything

you've to serve customers on your knees

it's better than

serving them in bed

what a dirty mouth

bitch

sorry, not tonight

Great!

The horse talks terms with me midway. Don't be cocky

okay, but on one condition

if you win,

move in to live with me for three months

and no more tips

within these 3 months

what about one month?

No, it's one price, no bargaining

okay, let's hook our fingers

don't ever leak it out

okay

race 3 tomorrow - silver sun

well, don't give me cyanide tips

what?

Don't insult my skill

you're evil

that remains to be seen

see how it is?

Brat! Can you hear?

What now, dad?

Dad, why are you quiet?

I'm mad. You brat! You scum

don't call me

dad anymore

tomorrow's my funeral, but don't attend it

those off-course bookies

threaten to chop me

they don't mean it

I brought you up

working as a coolie

you brat, you have no piety

I'll issue an announcement to end our tie

dad, this time

I really mean it

I'm doing it to return your favour

race 3 tomorrow - happy star

don't bet so big, don't tell anybody

what about silver sun?

Silver sun? I was ordered not to make it

fool me again and we're doomed

except... me

I swear! If I fool you...

I'll fall from horse in a next race

and I'll get killed in a car crash

I'll believe you one more time, brat

Look, swimming pool, tennis court

and commercial complex

they won the ballot

but got no discount

now I get 30% off

ain't I smart?

Such a big area for $520,000

how could there be such a bargain?

Mr Shaw's in charge of the whole estate

he promised that when he was drunk

I must pay the deposit now

before he backs out

but he insists the flat be in my name only

do you resent it?

Hold it! Did you go to bed with him?

What a nut!

He's over 70 and he's impotent

I saved this up in 8 years

it covers my wedding,

funeral & everything

I understand

promise to marry me

after three months

okay, I wish I could quit right away

you'd better not

I'll take the day off to go with you

you can't even trust me for $30,000

I know you've suffered much on my account

and you've changed much too

honestly,

you can now make up much better

After mounting, the jockey moves on

there's a possibility

of a cold turnout

what took you so long, bitch?

There was a big crowd

what now?

Fixed! Here are tickets for $30,000

how's our horse now?

The last one is happy star

did you bet all on win?

You told me to do that

I said, half win, half place

I bet all on win for sheng's horse too

how much does it pay?

8 times? We're rich

let's have a bag ready for the money

what if it comes second?

What?

What if it comes second?

We'd better bet $20,000

on place thru bookies

it's safer

brother Cheng, I'm Carmen

I want to bet $20,000 more on place

that makes a total of $40,000 win & place

you can't accept that big?

Trust me I'll settle it on Monday

chop me to death if I don't

thank you thank you very much

we're lucky

happy star is naughty

a white Mark in the behind

means false heat

young jockey's silver sun has heat up

could silver sun be the winner?

Don't scare me, bitch!

Well, we'd better play safe

silver sun now pays 12 times. Already 12!

Call now

bet silver sun - $10,000 win,

$10,000 place

it's safer

call now

oh, no, they're all in the gate

can't be connected

damned telephone

no bets now. Shit

quiet!

I'll argue with them

happy star

steals the march

the gate's really opened

brave archers, crane, antelope

ahead is happy star

happy star, come on

come on, happy star

riding hero, brave archers, silver sun

riding hero, silver sun, brave archers

silver sun, riding hero

- blue sky, brave archers - Happy star

they're passing the end! No.1, silver sun

no.2, riding hero

no.3, blue sky. No.4, brave archers

what then?

We're all finished

he tipped you silver sun

but you preferred to overhear a telecom

not my fault,

you told me not the trust him

so he cheated

even his own dad

I'm all finished now, bitch

I told you to bet $10,000 only

but you insisted on staking all on it

what? You said "stake everything" yourself

well,

raise $30,000 to repay hung

is that any of my concern?

Would you say that

if you'd won?

You borrowed from him yourself

I didn't know

you'd done that

I made that clear to you over the phone

I learnt it only when you just called

it's your darling's money fix it with him

good, you pay for

Cheng's off-course money

I won't sign on the joint account

either you get chopped or go to bed

with Cheng or spend a few years with him

I don't care,

I won't sign, come what may

There's none cheaper than a girl

she gets trapped by her own suspicions

well, I'll help you one more time

spend 3 months with me

& I'll pay you $5,000 each month

with 50% in advance okay?

I'll answer the call now

an inspector tang wants you to leave a phone number

tell him to call kin kun court, happy valley

what now?

I tipped you the horse and it won

now I even offer to pay you

what else do you expect?

Let me think it over

miss Carmen, it's for you

thank you

hello

Carmen, I want to have a word with you

what?

Shall we get married?

Don't expect...

Any tips from me - sorry

why?

I love you, but we don't fit each other

I know what's on your mind

but I don't care

what you did or do now

I'm now being booked do you mind?

What's the matter?

Weeping is no solution

come with me

and cook me a nice meal

sorry, I have a boyfriend in France,

I'm expecting him now

trying to be romantic? What a tramp

you're a born tramp

tell me why

no sign of her for the past weeks

don't hide it from me

she took $30,000 from me

to buy a flat

has she bought it or not?

Has she got another man?

Don't cover her up I warn you

I'm going to be nasty

bastard, ask ling yourself

calm down

excuse me

you shouldn't have misled her

I've been to the bank

why is there only a balance of $128

in our joint account?

Someone came to collect for Cheng,

so I faked your signature

dirty!

Where are you going?

Are you moving out in retaliation?

Young jockey offers me

$20,000 each month

you're dirty, you took away my client

why not? You've forsaken him

our money's gone we must make some

it's tit-for-tat

you did worse faking my signature

we lost it together

you're cheap, be a whore

pay me back

$15,000 in a month

ling

You've offered yourself to a man

you're sinking deep don't do that

are you crazy? Is that any of your concern?

What do you take me for?

You promised to marry me

go home!

I've never loved you

I won't marry you

I must marry rich

stop bothering me, please

what about my $30,000?

I'll repay you in a few months

Tell me, ling's only joking

she means every word of it

Carmen, can you

recognize this?

We were as close as you're

she died like that!

You can never tell

What took you so long?

There's a handsome boy in our toilet
