My parents immigrated
from a small village

in southern China
to America because...

Well, because America
is the land of opportunity
and abundance

where anyone from
any walk of life can
come and be welcomed.

A huge giant melting pot
where anything can happen.

My parents wanted me to have
everything I could possibly
dream of.

Well, everything
Chinese, anyway.

For the first ten years
of my life,

I was pretty much confined
to a one-mile radius
in New York Chinatown.

My mother worked long hours
at a factory,

and my father worked
the night shift
in a restaurant.

So, I studied all the time.

That's me at age 11.

The nerdiest girl in P.S. 1.

And that's Sabrina,
the girl with the pink hat?

She was not only the prettiest
and the most popular,

but also the richest girl
in Chinatown.

Hey, Yippie,
wanna play?

Me?

Yeah, you.

Okay.

"Okay."

Are you ready?
One...

two, three.

Yip Han,
what an ugly name.

It's as ugly as you are.

No one would ever
be your friend.

Let's go, girls.

She was right.

Yip Han was the ugliest name
and I hated it.

Even the weirdest girl
in school had
a better name than me.

Janie.

I never told my father about
those girls because I didn't
want him to worry.

But somehow
he could always
tell when I needed cheering up.

That was his answer
to everything.

Every week, Ba took me to
the community center to
watch free Kung Fu movies.

But no Kung Fu movie
could change my situation.

I think I've seen this one
at least ten times.

I bet she has, too.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you see the last
Dang Kang movie?

Yeah, we come
here every week
for a different movie.

Yeah. Me, too.

And then,
like a miracle,

for the very first time,
a movie I actually
wanted to see.

It was life-changing.

Janie and I bonded over
Olivia Newton-John,

Hello Kitty stationery,

and really bad perms.

Oh, are you okay?

But a blonde wig
can only get you so far.

So, I had to rely
on something else.

I read that you're offering
some special deals to new
clients here in Chinatown.

Is that right?

I'm sorry,
how old are you?

Old enough for me to know
that you're offering
a special deal.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

There's a premium account
we're offering.

You would need to deposit
$2,000 into that account

and then your annual fees
would be waived.

Okay.

What if
we give you $300,

you give us the premium
account and waive the fees?

Well, he didn't give me
the premium account,

but my father did get to open
his first bank account ever.

From then on, I pretty much
took over my family's finances.

Well, I pretty much took over
everything at home.

...Princess Grace
of Monaco...

And then I discovered
Grace Kelly.

I had never seen
anyone that elegant.

I was mesmerized by her.

She had it all, beauty,
money, intelligence

and so much class.

It seemed so easy for her,

but she worked really hard to
become the Grace Kelly that
everyone knew and loved.

And from that moment on,
I also knew what I had to do.

Good morning, Grace.

Good morning, Tommy.

It's a beautiful day today,
an eye on the 70s.

Excellent, thanks
for the update.

Good morning, Miss Grace,
your carriage is waiting.

Tommy, what would
I do without you.

Good morning, Eddie.

Hi. Jamal is waiting.

Hey, how's your son?

He's good.

Ah, he struck out again.

He's just like his old man.

Hang in there, Eddie.

Good morning, Jamal.

Morning.
Got your Coke?

Got it.

Did you
study last night?

Of course, I did.

'Cause I'm gonna
give you a tough one today.

I'm ready.

It's Norma.

Music by Bellini.

Libretto by Felice Romani.

1851.

Uh-uh-uh. 1831.

Really?

I thought I knew this one.

Look who's on the cover.

Isn't she the one
who's supposed to throw
the party tonight?

Yeah.

God, she looks incredible.

Are you nervous?

No, why would I be nervous?

I've never been
more prepared
in my life.

I know every single
opera there is to know
thanks to you.

And Pogue and Speck.

Oh, by the way,
can we stop in Chinatown?

I've got to drop off
a few things for my parents.

No problem.

Do your parents still think
I'm ripping you off?

No, I told them
you're getting a Ph.D.,
they're very impressed.

Really?

Yes, really.

They love you.
I'll be right back.

Okay, bye.
Bye-bye.

My parents said hi,
they wanted to know how
your Ph.D. was coming.

Hmm,
that's so nice of them.

Oh, Tony, nice.

$100. We're getting close,
people.

Man, thank you all.

I got another $100.

Yeah.

I ain't doing it for less
than a grand, man.

Oh, come on. What you got?
What you got?

I'll slap you another $100.

He's not going to do this.

Oh, you're gonna take
the other side?

No.

That's a thou, bro.
You got the job.

He is not
going to drink
that barbeque sauce.

Chug. Chug. Chug.

Chug. Chug. Chug.

That's disgusting.

Yeah.
Yes.

Another grand if you
down the melted butter.

Next time.
Oh.

Hey, Grace.

You want some ribs?

I'm not really
very hungry
right now.

Are you?

Janie, I gotta
show you something.

You should just
go out with him.

A little breeding
wouldn't have hurt.

Stephen went to Harvard.

That is more breeding
than all of China.

Hey, I want my money back.

What?

He's gotta keep it down
or else I get my money back.

That's the deal.

Like I said,
"A little breeding
wouldn't hurt."

Why don't you go
out with him?

That's totally inappropriate
because he likes you.

Hey, I hear he's from
Boston Chinatown.

Is he from
Boston Chinatown?

What's that supposed
to mean?

Nothing,
I'm just asking.

But you hate opera.

That's not true.

Did you know
that Maria Callas'

most important role
was Bellini's Norma,

written in 1831?

You're cramming
for a cocktail party?

That's sick.

Ladies. Got the perfect
deal for you.

Quality Clothing wants
to go upscale,
and they want our help.

They want to acquire
none other than Kari Mills.

Kari Mills?

♪ Made in the United States
of America ♪

That Kari Mills?

That's the one.

Well, anything's more
glamorous than power plants.

Uh-huh. I knew
this would be
perfect for you.

Summary report
by tomorrow?

Whoa, Jim,
I've got plans.

Oh, you want Greg
to run the deal?

No, this'll be perfect.
By end of day tomorrow.

That's my girl.

Who you calling
a girl? Girl.

You look so familiar.
Have we met?

No, I don't think so.

No, I've definitely
seen you somewhere.

Were you at
the museum's
winter ball?

No, I missed that.

I'm Bridget
Barrington Spence.

My friends
Sydney St. James,

and Princess Alexandra
Maria Sofia.

But we just
call her Alex.

I'm Grace Tang.

Of course.

You're Tang
of Shanghai Tang.

Of the famous Tang family
of Hong Kong.

I saw her on CNN
when she opened

a new boutique
on Madison.

Right. She and her father
were with Fergie.

Hello, ladies.
How are the
hors d'oeuvres?

Let me introduce you.
This is Grace Tang
of Shanghai Tang.

Hello, Grace.

Hello.

Grace, this is Kay Douglas,
chairperson of
our junior committee

and our gracious
hostess.

We saw Grace on CNN,
we recognized
her immediately.

Well, actually, I...
Grace, we're so glad
you could be with us.

We've been trying
to expand our
committee search

into the
international
community.

Oh, yes.

Kay's platform
is diversity.

Grace is perfect.
She's from Hong Kong.

No, I...

Oh, yes, Grace. You'd be
interested to know that
we're opening next season

with Madama Butterfly.

Oh, and you've got
to come to our Gatsby Ball.

This is the first year

with a truly
international guest list.

Kay made sure of it.
She is so committed.

Unbelievable.

So, Grace,
do you live in New York?

Yes, I do.

You speak English so well.

Oh-ho. Well, well.
Look who's here.

I told you
he would come.

Hey, you.

Aside from diversity,
Kay's other platform is
Andrew J Barrington Jr.

Oh, yes,
she's very ambitious.

I thought you
weren't coming
until much later.

Should I leave?

Andrew, let me
introduce you.

This is Grace Tang.

Grace is one of
our junior committee
candidates.

This is my
brother Andrew.

He's sub chairing
the auction committee
this year.

Aren't you, little brother?

Grace is from one of
your favorite cities.

Hong Kong.
Well...

Pleasure to meet
you, Miss Tang.

Nice to meet
you, too.

Oh, there are
Nicole and Thomas.

Already back from
their honeymoon.

Excuse us, Grace.

Andrew, please
try to focus on
the auction this week.

Yeah, I'll see if
I can make him.

Goodbye, Grace.

Delightful to meet
you, Grace.
I love your clothes.

You definitely
have my vote.

No, I'm...

Hope to see you again soon.

Hey.

Hey.
I got you a treat.

All right.

I think
you'll like these.

Thank you. Ooh.

Mmm.

How was that party?

It was the most
elegant party
I have ever been to.

Everyone was
so nice to me.

They invited me to
all these events,
parties...

And they all wanted
me to be part of
the junior committee.

So, you're in.

There's a slight glitch.

What do you mean?

They think
I'm somebody else.

What?

They think I'm Grace Tang
of Shanghai Tang.

Who?

This woman, Grace Tang,
we have the same name.

Her family owns that
boutique on Madison.

Shanghai Tang?

Oh.

Yeah, exactly.

They must have had
a laugh when they
figured it out, though.

Well, I didn't
exactly tell them.

But you did eventually
tell them?

Well, listen,
I'm sure they
figured it out by now

and I'm sure I'll never
hear from them again.

But let me
tell you, Jamal,

I got to be somebody
for one night.

You are somebody.

You know what I mean.

It is better to be disliked
for what you are,

than to be loved
for something
that you are not.

Andre Gide.

Another one
I've never heard of.

French dude, very cool,
very deep.

You know what,
you tell this Andre
that I tried being myself

and it only
gets me so far.

Speaking of being myself,
I actually have to get going.

I told my parents I'd have
dinner with them tonight.

Have they started using
their cellphones yet?

I bet they can't even
turn them on.

You know, I think they're
gonna figure it out.

You think?
Yeah.

You know what,
I'll take you.

Really?
Yeah.

It's your day off.

I know.
That's so nice of you.

I know.

Right?

I don't care,
whatever.

Just get them
the cheaper one.

Your parents don't
need a Sub-Zero.

But a Sub-Zero
is a Sub-Zero.

It's the best refrigerator
you can get.

Do they know
you're getting them
a new fridge?

Of course not.
It's so ridiculous.

I have to keep coming up with
excuses to buy them presents

just to make sure
the whole world doesn't
crumble around them.

God knows Ming's not helping.

A Kay Douglas for you.

Oh, my God.
It's a Kay Douglas for me.

They've figured out
I'm not Grace Tang.

You are Grace Tang.

I mean their Grace Tang.

I'm totally confused.

Now you see what I mean?

Should I tell her
to call back?

Yes.
No.

What?
You should just
tell her the truth.

Carla, put her through.

Hello, Kay.

No, really?

You want me to donate a dress
from Shanghai Tang?

Of course.

Yes.

All right.

Bye now.

You are out.

I'm in.

I'm in.

Isn't it beautiful?

God, it's incredible.

Oh, it would look
stunning on you.

You think?

You're trying
on this dress.

I'm Elizabeth.

Come on.

We'll see.

How long has this guy
been manufacturing?

Very long.
Nine years.

How many years?
This way.
Nine years, yes.

This way.

I think this is...

Is there anything else
I can see?

No.

I think you should leave,
otherwise the owner
will be back soon

and that will get me
into trouble.

If you have any question,
just give me a call.

I will.
Okay, no problem.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Andrew, from my experience,
these Chinatown folk
aren't reliable.

They don't like to talk.

Ko and his wife
slaved away
for this asshole

for over
30 years, right?

Ko's wife died of cancer.

She suffered
and she died with
no health insurance.

Ko had to borrow
the money to bury her

and now he's raising
their three kids alone.

He's bitter, he's ready
to sing like a bird.

July 2nd.

No, no, no, no. It's gonna be
after the fourth of July.

If Ko and his workers
are gonna lose their jobs,

at least let them
enjoy the long weekend.

Andrew?
Yes?

Your girlfriend says
this is really important.

Thank you.

You know, I thought
you wanted to shut down
these sweatshops.

Do you want to get
Kari Mills or not?

A few more
days won't kill us,
Andrew.

You want the press
coming in here
attacking us

for going after
innocent immigrants

on Independence Day?
Because they will!

And, yeah, I can't wait
to see Kari Mills' face

when we put her
out of business.

But it's gotta be after
the fourth of July.

All right. July 7th.

We go in there like
a can of Raid.
July 7th.

I have a lot
riding on this.

Those poor workers have
a lot riding on this.

July 7th, Max.

This witness of yours
better be rock solid.

Don't worry about it.

"Enjoy your mistaken identity
or confess?"

"Enjoy being someone else,
the someone you've always
fantasized about."

"Fess up and suffer
tremendous humiliation."

This is for Miss Tang.
This is Elizabeth calling
from Shanghai Tang.

Your dress is ready
for pick-up.

We're open today from
10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Thank you.

Oh, God.

God.
God. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Grace?

Grace Tang.

From Hong Kong, right?

We met the other night?
At that opera thing.

Right.
Andrew.

Yeah, right.

Hi.

Wow, I'm really sorry
about your donut.

Can I buy you
another one?

No, it's quite
all right.

Um, actually,
would you like one?

Sure.

You sure
you're all right?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Are you walking
this way?

Yes.

Um, thanks.

Do you...
Do you live
around here?

No, I...
I live in Tribeca.

I know Tribeca well.
I work downtown.

Really?
Hmm.

Where are your offices?

Down of Wall Street.

I work at
Silverman Sterns.

Purchase
and acquisitions.

Oh, I thought you work for
your family's business.

I try to stay as far away
from that as possible.

Yeah, I feel exactly
the same way.

Right. You work at the
state attorney general's
office, don't you?

I do.

Do you like it?

Yeah, I do.

Are you working on
anything interesting?

Mmm-hmm.

I'm working on
a case that hopefully
will do a lot of good.

Is it top secret?

Can you keep a secret?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, I'm, uh,

trying to shut down
a couple of sweatshops
in Chinatown.

You're what?

I'm working on closing
down a couple of
sweatshops in Chinatown.

You can't do that.

Oh, I can.

No, you can't.

Yeah, we can.
And we're going to.

No, you can't because
you'll be putting people
out of work.

Well, you don't agree
with those working
conditions, do you?

Of course not, but you can't
just shut them down.

I mean, you know,

some of these people
have been working
there all their lives.

They don't speak English.
Their friends work there.

They feel
comfortable there.

They feel like
they belong,
I mean...

It's just not that simple.

You're right. It's not simple.

But nothing
worth fighting for
is simple.

I'm trying to help them,
not trying to hurt them.

Now, what I would like
is for them to be able
to speak Chinese

with their friends at work
and be paid a union wage.

That's what I want for them.

Oh.

Can I trade this for
a chocolate-covered?

Sure.

Thank you.

With or without
sprinkles?

Um, with.

Okay.

Oh, here we go.

Look where we are.

Um...

You know, I've never
been here before,

you should give
me a tour.

Ah, Miss Tang.
You come and visit?

Yes, Elizabeth. I did.

Mr. Barrington,
welcome to Shanghai Tang.

Thank you.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Hmm?

Do you have my dress?
I'm in a little bit
of a hurry.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I'll get it for you
right away.

This place is amazing.

How many floors
are there?

Several?

Thank you.

Aren't you gonna
try it on?

Oh, no.

It's not for me.
It's for an auction.

It's for his event.

Oh, but I fitted you
for the dress.

Oh, I'd love
to see it on you.

Okay, then.

Ah, Miss Tang...

This way.

Hi, Kay.

Yeah, I'm...
I'm running a little late.

Wait till
you see her.

Uh, yeah, I'll...
I'll be right there.

Okay.

Bye.

It's too tight.

Wow.

It's perfect.

It's too tight,
actually.

I'm beginning
to perspire, so...

If we want this to look good
for the auction, I'd better
get out of the dress.

Oh, Miss Tang,
my manager said she would
love to see the dress.

And I still have
some business
to take care of

and it'll take me a little time
to get out of this dress,

so, let me walk you out.

Miss Tang. Miss Tang.

Hey, what are you
doing Saturday?

Saturday?
Yeah.

Nothing.

You know, I'm in charge
of this Gatsby Ball thing,

and you obviously know how to
do this auction item thing,

and I... I have no idea
what I'm doing.

So, uh, maybe we could,
uh, get together

and, uh, brainstorm?

Brainstorm?
Yeah.

Saturday would be
great for brainstorming.

That's great.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll call you?

Okay.

Okay, see you.

Bye.

You know, I'm not sure
you should donate that dress.

Bye.

Bye.

Andrew,
where have you been?

Why are you so late?

Uh, I had to pick
up some things
for my parents.

Oh, listen,
how is it coming
on the auction items?

'Cause you know, Andrew,
the deadline is
coming up soon.

Don't make me look bad.

I told the girls
you have to outshine
last year's committee.

So, you better step up.

Oh, I found the most
gorgeous suit for you
for the Gatsby Ball.

You're a 42, right?

It's a fabulous cream suit
that would go perfectly
with my dress.

Oh, and my parents
are having a little
party in the Hamptons,

no excuses,
you have to be there.

And we cannot
be late this time.

It's $22,000
a year and that
includes supplies.

There are classes
during the day
as well as the evening,

five days a week.

Excuse me,
where should I go...

Upstairs, Arthur,
for Mr. Flay.

It's great to have you here.

It's great to be here.
Thanks a lot.

$22,000 a year.

Why don't you
take the brochure,

if you have any questions,
feel free to call us.

Let's forget it.

Mmm.

Kari Mills
uses sweatshops?

How do you know this?

I know people
in Chinatown.

Really? You?

Kari Mills is profitable
because of her brilliant

"Made in the United States
of America" campaign, right?

But what Americans
don't know is that a large
chunk of her clothes

are sewn in sweatshops
right here in Chinatown.

Kari Mills is expecting to be
bought for twice this amount.

When the word gets out,
the value of her company
will plummet.

Are you sure about this?

Hey, Janie.
Stephen.

Sorry.

Does Grace
like the theater?

Miss Culture.

What do you think?

I just won two tickets
to Mamma Mia! for
Saturday night on the radio.

I was the
99th caller.

You think
she'd want to go?

I don't know.
Why don't you ask her?

Do you think
I should call her,

or should I go up there?

Ask in person.
It's harder to say no.

Right.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, it's me.
Stephen is coming upstairs
to ask you out.

Right now?

Yeah, right now.

He wants to take you to
Mamma Mia! Saturday night.
Have you seen Mamma Mia!?

I haven't seen Mamma Mia!
Why would I see Mamma Mia!?

Go, Grace.

I can't,
I just made plans.

With whom?

Andrew James Barrington, Jr.

You're kidding.

Oh, I gotta go.

Hi.
Hi.

Can I come in?

Of course.

I won tickets on the radio to
Mamma Mia! for Saturday night.

And you've probably
already seen it, but it's free.

And might be kind of good.

No, actually, I haven't
seen Mamma Mia!

Great.

But I can't. I've made
plans for Saturday.

But thanks.

I asked you first,
because you're Miss Culture.

Well, next time.

What are you doing
Saturday night?

I have dinner plans
with someone.

Oh. Great.

I hope it goes well.

Have a good time.

Have you ever heard
of this woman, Grace Tang?

No, but your sister
keeps raving about her
clothes or something.

She's hot, right?

She's attractive,
but that's not why
she's interesting, she's...

She's different.

Of course, she is.

I fantasize about Bridget
serving it up in kimono...

Come on, that's my sister
you're talking about.

And your point is?

You need help.

So, when are you
popping the question?

What question?

You know, the girls have
a pool going.

Oh, we have
a pool on baseball,

they have a pool
on marriage proposals.

So, when did you
know you were
gonna marry my sister?

I'll tell you exactly
when I knew.

When your sister
and your father

and my mother
gave me the ultimatum...

Dude, let me explain
something to you.

In a not-so-distant future,

you, too, will be receiving
the ultimatum grande.

You'll argue it,
but ultimately,
you'll succumb.

So don't bother
fighting it.

And I'll deny
ever saying this.

Nail Miss Shanghai Tang now.

'Cause your bachelor days
are numbered, my friend.

Sweet!

So that would be great
if I could come and see
the shop on Baxter.

All right.
Okay, here's my card.

Just give me a call.
Let me know what time,
et cetera.

Okay?

Thanks.

Grace! Grace Tang!

Hey, can I share
your umbrella?

Andrew, what are
you doing here?

I'm following you.

What?
No, I had
a meeting down here,

and there you were.

You know, you move
really fast for
someone your size.

What are you
doing here?

I... I, um...

I volunteer
for a family here.

Really?
Uh-huh.

Wow. How often do you
volunteer down here?

About once a week.

And that, um...
That's where I'm
going right now.

Oh. Do you think maybe
I could join you?

Oh, no. No, no.

They would feel
very uncomfortable
with a stranger.

Oh, I could charm them
with the Chinese I know.

I could say...

I could say...

Oh, no, no, no.

They're just
expecting me.

Well, if they get upset,
I'll leave. I promise.

Come on, I want to see
their faces light up
when they see you.

Did you order

refrigerator?

Did they not let you in?

Oh, thank God,
you speak English.

This woman only says
"No" and "Bye-bye".

Ah.

No, no. Bye-bye!

Bye-bye.

Sorry.

Thank you.
Excuse me.

Oh, how do you
touch this stuff?

How could you not?

These are delicacies,
my man.
They're aphrodisiacs.

Whoa. Oh.

I told you
we could talk.

If you only knew.

How do I greet her?

What's her last name?

Wong.

Ah.

Ma'am, it's $100
to take out the old one.

You've got
a lot of good food
in there, Wong-tai.

What are they saying?

They're saying
you're so handsome.

Hello.

That's Ming.

Their son.

Oh. Nice to
meet you, Ming.

Oh, does he not
speak English?

I speak English.

We gotta go.

Nice to meet you, Ming.

That was so generous
of you to buy them
a refrigerator.

It's no big deal.

No big deal? I think
it's pretty incredible.

Oh, no.

You're not mad,
are you?

I think they
really liked me.

No, I have to go
back to work.
I have a meeting.

I'll call you later.
Okay.

Grace.

Apologize for the delay,
Mr. Barrington,

but we are
ready to start.

I saw it.

Greg, that's
Andrew James Barrington Sr.

Very good, Grace.
Why are you so late?

What's he doing here?

He's Kari Mills'
lead banker.

What? Why didn't
anyone tell me?

Ms. Tang.

What's your theory
behind these numbers?

How did you come up
with only $200 million?

Kari Mills is worth
at least twice that.

Grace, say something.

Um...

Yes, my theory...

My theory...

Rumor has it that the city
is cracking down on
non-union garment factories,

and since Kari Mills
employs several of these
large sweatshops,

the crackdown will undoubtedly
impact the company's
bottom line.

Ms. Tang, Kari Mills
is a unionized manufacturer.

They don't employ illegal
aliens in sweatshops.

Who is your source?

The Journal?
The New York Times?

The Inquirer?

What?

Well, actually, sir,
it's a close source
from Chinatown.

And this close source swears
that Kari Mills' outfits

have been manufactured
there for years.

Wait a minute.
Let's get one thing straight.

That outfits that
you're talking about,

the ones with the Kari Mills
labels on them are fake.

Counterfeit.

The ones sold on
the streets of Chinatown.

The Chinese community
has been stealing from
reputable designers for decades.

In fact, this banker
should advise
his client to sue.

Sir, I assure you...

Rework the numbers, James.

This time, without
factoring hearsay.

And I am surprised that
you don't keep a tighter leash

on your
inexperienced
associate.

Mr. Barrington, wait.

While you're here,
we might as well go over
some of the other terms.

If bearings and the number
are in the right ballpark,

then perhaps we can
discuss other terms.

Gentlemen, if you would.

What's the point
of hiring an oriental

if she can't do numbers?

Make the numbers work.

I'm trying to protect
our client.

If you want to
protect your job,

make the numbers work.

I don't want
anywhere near this

when Quality Clothing sues us
for withholding key information.

Why don't you call
your client and tell them?

Oh, I don't know.

'Cause maybe I'll get fired.

Fired for telling the truth?

Now who's
being naive?

When does corporate America
ever tell the truth about
anything, Janie?

The almighty dollar
dictates the truth.

And the truth of the matter
is my ass is getting fired

if I don't deliver the right
number to Barrington.

Kari Mills is about
to make a ton of cash

from the clothes that
your mother sewed.

Doesn't that piss you off?

Do you know
the people on the street

refer to Andrew
Barrington Sr. as "God"?

Why is he so powerful?

Does "God" know that you've
been brainstorming with Jesus?

I bet he'd give you a break.

Have you told him you're
not Ms. Shanghai Tang?

I'm going to tell him the truth.

So, for my birthday,
I bought the blonde wig

and skintight black
leather outfit she wore
at the end of Grease.

Uh-huh.

You can imagine
wearing that
in the summertime.

Leather and a wig,
not very comfortable.

When's your birthday?
June 26th.

It's right around
the corner.

Not exactly in
the middle of summer,

but it's probably
still kinda hot.

Yes, but I wore it
every single day.

For the entire summer.

Why? Were you
obsessed with Grease?

No, I wasn't
obsessed with Grease.

I was obsessed with
Olivia Newton-John.

I wanted to be
Olivia Newton-John.

Why?

Um, I don't know.

I think because
she was beautiful

and she sang
really well, and...

She was kinda perfect.

Didn't you want
to be somebody
when you were little?

Speed Racer.

Who?
You don't know
who Speed is?

Speed Racer
with the white pants.

He drove the Mach 5

with the buttons
on the steering wheel.

He had that really cute
girlfriend named Trixie.

Mmm-mmm.
No?

He had a little chimp
at the backseat
named Chim-Chim

who's always going...

No?

Bullet proof shields
and a saw that cut...

He rode in the back.
He used to fall out
all the time.

No, but I guess
I should...

Can I rent it?

You know what
you should do?
Yeah?

You should sing
a song from Grease.

What?
Sing a song from Grease.

I can't sing
a song from Grease.

Just pretend...

I'll pretend that
you're wearing a blonde wig,

and just a sing a song
from Grease.
Come on, do it.

Stayin' Alive.
Sing that song.

That's not from Grease.
Come on.

No, no. I would have
to be insanely drunk.

We can get insanely drunk.

I'll just find a waiter
and get a wine list.

You know what? We really
have to get back
to the auction items.

Don't worry.

We will. We will.

Jellyfish?

Excuse me.

You look nice tonight.

You really stand out.

Thank you.

Can you believe I've never
been to a Broadway show?

I just could
not bring myself
to pay $100

to watch someone
burst into song.

It seems so goofy to me.

If this gets too goofy,

we'll leave
in intermission.

- It's free anyway.
- Okay.

Ladies
and gentlemen,

please make sure that all
cell phones and pagers have
been turned off at this time.

The taking of pictures
is strictly prohibited.

Thank you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

To the right a bit
'cause you're left-handed.

Okay?
Yeah.

I don't know.

Think it's kind of funny.

What's funny?

That I met you
at an opera meet and greet.

So?

You know what I mean.

Most of the people that
belong in those committees

don't have an
interesting thing
to say about anything.

The most important
thing to them

is minimizing their
capital gains tax

or donating enough cash
to charity

to make their
accountants happy.

Isn't it great to
have a life outside
of all that bullshit?

Yeah.
You know who I can't
stop thinking about?

The Wongs.
The who?

The Wong family.

You know, the ones
that you bought
the refrigerator for.

I still think that's
amazing, by the way.

How did you start
volunteering for them?

Oh.

You know, my friend,
Janie, she grew up
in Chinatown,

and she lives
next to the Wongs,

and she started this
volunteer program at work,

and I signed up for it.

Mrs. Wong is
a seamstress, right?

Um, why do you ask?

I mean, because I saw
the sewing machine
in her apartment.

Yeah, she's
a seamstress.

I've been working
in Chinatown
for three years.

I've never been
inside the apartment

of someone who works
in a sweatshop.

Then I meet you.

Next thing I know,
I'm helping Mrs. Wong
clean out her refrigerator.

Yeah, that was
very nice of you.

Yeah, well, it was
very nice of you

to introduce me to them.

'Cause I never could've
gotten that close
to them on my own.

But...

they trust you.

I mean, I have no idea
what you guys were
talking about that day,

but it's obvious
that you're like

one of them.

I don't know if I should
say this to you but...

My life is just really
complicated right now,

and there are a lot of things
that I'm not sure about,

but I just want you
to know that whenever
I'm with you,

everything becomes
a little clearer to me.

- Sapphire, right?
- Mmm-hmm.

Thank you.

It can be returned,
right?

Of course.

But I have a feeling
this is exactly right.

Why are you so late?
The Barringtons have
been here for an hour.

It wasn't
my fault, Mother.

I'm so sorry.
It's entirely my fault.

Had to stop last minute
for something.

Andrew's been very busy
working on a big case.

Really?

Hi, Daddy.
Hi, beautiful.

Tell us about it.

Here they are, the most
eligible couple in America.

Kay, darling, you look
like an oriental princess.

Thank you.
Where did you get
this gorgeous outfit?

It's Shanghai Tang.

Have you been
there, Bree?
It's wonderful.

Oh, I can see that.

As a matter of fact,
Grace Tang, from
the Tang family,

is on our junior
committee.

Although I haven't
heard from her lately,

so I have no idea
what's happened to her.

Actually, I ran into her
the other day in Chinatown.

I think she's just
been really busy.

Really?
Where have you been?

Andrew was just gonna
tell us about a big case
he's working on.

No, it's no
big deal.

Oh, he's just
being modest.

He's been working
like crazy.

Andrew is going
to clean up Chinatown.

He's closing down
the sweatshops

and going after
the designers.

Sweatshops.

That's the important case
you've been working on?

Why does the state attorney's
office even bother with that?

There have been sweatshops
in Chinatown

ever since Chinatown
has been in existence.

Close one down,
another one pops up.

It's an exercise
in diminishing returns.

Well, not everything
has to do with the
rate of return.

They're a tenacious
bunch down there.

You don't think this
was made in a sweatshop,
do you?

Well, that's reason enough
to keep them open.

Thank you.

Well, a drink?
Sure.

Just take it.

You don't have to wear it.

Thanks, Ma.

Thanks, Ba.

We're going back
to the city, right?

Well, I think your parents
are really expecting
you to stay.

But I do need
to get back.
I have a lot of work to do.

Don't work too hard.
I love you.

I'll call you.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Can I come in?

Of course.

I got you
a little something.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Hello.

Oh, hey, Ming.

I'll be right there.

We can't hold him here
against his wishes,

but it would be a good
idea to get an MRI before
we release him.

My father doesn't
want to stay because
he has no insurance.

I understand.

I'll take
care of it.

Go ahead and get
the MRI. I'll make sure
my father cooperates.

Are you sure?

Well, he does need
an MRI, right?

Yes, he does.

We'll work something
out, Ms. Tang.

Thank you,
Dr. Takashi.

You're welcome.

Leave him alone.
He doesn't want it.

What? The doctor says
he needs an MRI.

Do what you always do.
Just throw money
at the problem.

Is that what
you think I do?

You think I just throw
money at Ma and Ba,

and that's how I take
care of them?
Is that what you think?

You get them a fridge
they don't want,

you get them cell phones
that they don't use.

What else?
What are you talking about?

They need those things.

They're just too proud
to ask for them.

What happened
to you, Ming?

Ma and Ba, they don't
even know what to do
with you anymore.

Do you know what you want?
Yeah, I know what I want.

You know what you want?

Okay, how much money
will it take for you

to get out of the house
so Ma doesn't have
to cook for you

and do your laundry
anymore, huh?

How much?
You're gonna throw
money at me now?

All right.
I need $22,000.

Are you in trouble?

Just forget it.
No, Ming. Are you
doing drugs again?

Just forget it! I'm gonna be
a fuck-up in your mind
for the rest of my life.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

You can't tell me
you need $22,000
and not tell me why.

Why? You're my sister.
You're my family.

It's not enough to know
that I need your help?

So you are in trouble.

No.

I need $22,000 to go
to The Culinary Institute.

What?

The Culinary Institute.
It's a cooking school.

I know what
a culinary institute is.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, I'm kidding you.
Don't worry about it.

Andrew, I told you
to bang her, not fall
in love with her.

Are you falling
in love with her?

Do you know that she
volunteers in Chinatown?

Every week,
she goes to Chinatown

to make sure that
this family is okay.

She's unbelievable.

What about Kay?

Kay is unbelievable,

and she thinks you're
in love with her.

And her parents,
and your parents,
and New York City.

They all think you're
gonna propose to her
any minute now.

Does God know
about Grace?

I'm gonna tell
my mom first.

Mom.

Oh, Andrew.

What if she wants you
for her green card?

Could she
be a prostitute?

Is she unusually willing
to perform bizarre
sexual favors?

Are you serious?

No, I saw a story
about this on CNN.

You're the perfect victim.

See, you always believe
the best in people.

Andrew, you've got
to be careful.
Mother, please.

You're going to marry Kay.

I've never felt anything
like this for anyone.

Do you understand that?

I understand more
than you know.

But Andrew, it's not just
about you, it's about Kay.

It's about our family

and everything
that our family

has worked for
generations to achieve.

You know, people envy us
because we have all
the money in the world.

But with that comes
an incredible price.

So I'm sorry, dear.

I'm sure she's wonderful.

The doctors don't
really know what's
wrong with Ba.

It could be as bad
as a brain tumor

or he could just
be allergic

to his blood
pressure medication.

They're still doing
test. I guess
we'll find out soon.

God, he looked
so tired yesterday
when I saw him.

Don't go there,
Grace, okay?

Just like the doctors
say, it might just be
his medication.

You know, my parents
moved to this country

so that I could have
everything I could
possibly dream of.

They even named me after
the Chinese Cinderella.

Can you believe that?

They sacrificed
everything for me.

And I treat them
with such disrespect.

Grace, you're
a wonderful daughter.

No, I'm not.

Why kind of a daughter would
pretend that the parents
are a volunteer family?

You know,
my brother is right.
I am a horrible person.

Come on, Grace.
You are not
a horrible person.

You know what's horrible?

You don't see how
intelligent you are.

You don't see what
a giving person you are.

That's why
I'm your friend,
by the way.

I wish you could see
what I see.

Hey. Uh...
Hey.

Ba's MRI results.

Come in.
I thought you'd
want to see it.

It's good news.

It's really good news.

It's a nice place.

Haven't you been
here before?

Um, no.

Oh.

It's like...
Hey, listen, um...

I didn't mean to come down
so hard on you.

I think I was just
nervous about Ba.

Yeah. No, you were right.

Ba needed the MRI,

and they needed
the new refrigerator, too.

So listen.
What you said about
The Culinary Institute...

Uh, yeah, look.

I know it's not
Princeton or Wharton...

No, no. Hey, no.

I'm not passing
any kind of judgment.

I just...
I had no idea.

Is that what
you want to do?

Yeah.
I want to be a chef.

But I'll figure it out.

I'll find a...
I'll find a way.

Sorry.

It's the weekend,
right?

It's my boss. Listen.

You know what?
Make yourself comfortable.

I gotta take this.
I'll be right out.

Hello, Jim.

No. No problem.
No. What do you need?

No. Of course.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Hi.
Hey.

Is Grace here?

Yeah.
Andrew.

Yeah, I know
who you are.

Um, my sister's
on the phone.

Your sister?

What do you mean
"your sister"?

My sister

is on the phone.

Oh.
Wait a minute. Wait a sec.

Grace is your sister?

Yeah. Yeah,
we met at my parents'.

Remember, you were helping us
move the new refrigerator?

Door was falling off
the old one?

My mom was like, "Ahh!"

She thought you were
the best dressed delivery
guy she's ever seen.

Is he your brother?

So, Mr. and Mrs. Wong
are your parents?

Yep.

I'm just gonna be
in this room over here.

So...

Your mother works
in a sweatshop.

I never meant for it
to get this far.

At first, it was about
getting into the committee,
and then you showed up.

And I couldn't believe
that someone like you

would want to be with
someone like me.

And I had never felt
so special in my entire life,

and I didn't want
to give it up.

These are for you.

Did I say something bad?

Guess where
I went today.

Below 57th Street.

I went all the way
to Chinatown.

So, what about Janie?

Janie took my Gatsby Ball
tickets and I told her
to bring Stephen.

This should cheer you up.
Or not.

I can't believe
you invited your parents.
I think that's great.

Mummy. Dad.
Over here.

Come on.

Hi.
Hello, my dear boy.

Oh, this must
be Janie.

I'm Stanley Hung.
Delighted to meet you.

And this is my wife Ida.

Lovely to meet you, Janie.

What a festive color on you.
Thank you.

Well, let's go upstairs.

That was Stanley Hung.

The Hong Kong
shipping tycoon.

Did I not mention that?

The man that you
claim to be your father
is Sir Stanley Hung.

I thought you were
from Boston Chinatown.

What made you think
I was from Boston
Chinatown?

Can we get a drink?

I mean,
can we get a drink,
like, now?

Absolutely.

Is this on?

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Gatsby Ball.

Dinner is served.

This is what women like...
dress up.

But you got to admit
they sure know
how to throw a party.

Did you bring the ring?

Smoking!

You're doing
the right thing, buddy.

Hey, Jakie.

You've really outdone
yourself again.

Well, I took some
risks but it all seems
to be working.

If there's one thing I know
how to do, it's plan a party.

We shouldn't let
that talent go to waste.

Should we?

I'll be right back.

Andrew!

Hello.

Hello. May I speak
with you privately?

I'll be right out.

Let me explain
something to you.

What's there to explain?

Grace didn't
intend to lie.

You all just wanted
to believe that she
was someone important.

So, she just
went along with it.

She tried to tell you that
she wasn't the Tang
of the Shanghai Tangs,

but you refused to hear it.
All of you.

But there were plenty
of opportunities
for her to come clean.

Hmm, right.

And you've been
completely honest with
everyone about everything.

I guess the truth
is kind of complicated
for some people.

What was that all about?

Um...

That was about
Grace resigning
from the committee.

That's too bad.

I was hoping she
would donate one of
those gorgeous dresses.

Why did she resign?

I guess this whole thing
just wasn't for her.

What are you doing here?
What do you mean?

The Kari Mills' closing.
They've been here
for 45 minutes.

What? Nobody told me.

And who is this young lady?
Oh, Miss Tang.

Making an interesting
entrance as usual.

Grace is
a Senior Associate.

She worked on the project
at the beginning stage.

Well, thank you
for your contribution.

Had I known,
I would've brought you

a few pieces
of my fall collection.

You look like
a Kari Mills kind of woman.

Yes, I thought you
were on the team.

I was a bit surprised,
we didn't see you
at our last meeting.

Yes. Um, Grace's father
became ill,

and she had to bow out
of this deal.

Oh, I'm very sorry
to hear that.
Thank you.

I really wanted to take care
of you on this deal.

So, what was
the final acquisition amount?

Well, I really thought
you guys low-balled me,
but I'll live with it.

So what was the number?

500 million.

Well, congratulations.

You used information
that you got from me

to manipulate
the Kari Mills
acquisition.

You knew that
we were going
after her,

so you advised her
to pull all of her work
from the factories.

And you wouldn't have?

No, I wouldn't
have betrayed
my own son.

I wouldn't
have done that.

Brian, forgive me.
Certainly.

Family.
Of course.

Shut the door.

Yes, I warned Kari

that if she thought
she might have any work
done in sweatshops,

that she better pull them.

I thought you'd be
all for that.

I've been going after
Kari Mills for years.

How could you
do that to me?

In business
never play martyr,
always play to win.

You're playing martyr.
And I play to win.

Congratulations, Dad.

I hope you're very happy
with your win.

But we still have
the clothes,

and we still have
good witnesses.

Okay, Andrew,

this is what
we still have.

We have the evidence
to nail Ko and
the sweatshops, sure.

But just like everyone
that came before her,

Kari Mills is now
gonna claim that
she had no idea.

And that's that.

Max...

Please don't tell me that
we're gonna let Kari Mills
walk away from this.

I'm sorry, Andrew.

Hey.
Hey.

Smells really nice in here.
Yes.

What are you making?

Steamed asparagus
dumplings

with duck and cilantro.

Looks good.

Thanks.

What?

I'm gonna pay you back.

Just cook for me
for the rest of my life.

I'd rather pay you back.

Thank you.

- This is good.
- Do you like it?

Yeah, you picked
a good one.

Uh, hey, can you
hold on one second?
Thanks.

Hi.
Hi.

I have to call
you back. Yep.

I wanted to give you this.

These are my documents
on Kari Mills
and the sweatshops.

Thanks.

I hope they help.
Yeah.

How's your father?

Oh, he's much better.
Thanks.

Good.

If you have any questions
just give me a call.

Yeah.

Bye.

Hold on.

I don't wear necklaces.

What's this
new evidence?

So, Mills sent two of her
henchmen down to the factory
with bags full of cash.

The workers were
paid $500 each.
Ko got $5,000, you know.

That basically
covers the loan

for his wife's funeral
and a little left over.

That's why he's not
talking for now.

Max, I want to go
public with this.

Now, wait a second.
Where you gonna get
the witnesses?

I have my connections.

Five, four, three...

Good evening.

Tonight we have
two very special guests.

You all know
Andrew Barrington Sr.,
the God of Wall Street.

And Kari Mills,
whose Kari Mills' Collection

was recently purchased
by Quality Clothing

for a handsome
$500 million.

Did you ever imagine
that happening?
No.

I never thought that
the Kari Mills' Collection

could ever be bought out
for this much money.

What was it about Mills
that got your interest?

I was very impressed
with Kari's advertising campaign

and the positive image
her company represented.

Yes, Kari, everyone can hum

your "Made in the United States
of America" jingle.

It was a tremendous
marketing success.

Did you personally
come up with that idea?

Absolutely.

As an American
I was and still am

tired of hearing
about losing jobs
to foreign countries.

We need to take
back our jobs.

And I thought
if I could contribute

in some small way
to boosting our economy,

why would I not
manufacture absolutely
all of my merchandise

right here in
the United States
of America.

Well, we have a couple
of surprise guests

who'll illustrate your point.

Mrs. Lin Tang,

a 56-year-old woman
from New York City
is one of the skilled workers

who's been helping to create
the Kari Mills collection

for the past ten years.

15-year-old Jenny Chan,

who apparently
has been working
on the collection

since she was 13-years-old.

Are you familiar with
these ladies, Miss Mills?

I believe they work
at Factory Unlimited

on East Broadway in Chinatown.

More commonly known
as a non-unionized sweatshop!

And there are many more.

These women who have been sewing
Kari Mills' outfits

work 80 to 100 hours per week,

making as little as
a dollar an hour in
deplorable working conditions

that violate
Health and Safety Codes.

Is this what you mean
by "Made in the United States
of America"?

Did you have any idea,
Mr. Barrington, that this is
what you were dealing with?

Ironically, it is your son
Andrew Barrington Jr.

the adjutant state attorney...
Yes!

...who is grafting
new legislation

to protect worker's compensation

and to provide benefits
to its workers.

The state's attorney
General's office...
Thanks you.

...has been tracking you,
Miss Mills.

Timmy, you the man.

That is love.

How do you get
a carafe of tequila?

Well, I ain't going
to family dinner
tonight... Aah!

Do you think I should go?

I couldn't believe you got up
the nerve to do that.

While in business
never play martyr,
always play to win.

I bet he regrets
telling you that one.

Your sister was watching.

What'd she day?

She said, "Good for Andy.
Dad's an asshole."

Bridget said that?

Yep. She's real proud of you.

Oh! Whoo!

I got to give Grace
credit, though.

Getting her mother and all
those ladies from Chinatown
to go on national TV,

takes a lot of guts.

Yeah, I could never
have done that without her.

She's, um,
pretty unbelievable.

I think that's what
you said to me once.

I need to borrow your car.

What's mine is yours.

That?
'84 was a very good year.

Grow up.

Hey.

I'm here to see Grace.

She's moving to Honk Kong.

What?

Yeah. Didn't you know?

No.
She's on her way
to the airport.

She mentioned something
about stopping by her
parents' house first.

Thanks.

Catherine and East Broadway.

We're going to Chinatown.
Right.

Bye.

Let's go.

Bye.

Is Grace here?

Gracy... Bye-bye.

Which airline?

Which airport?

Airline? Yeah...

Which airport?

Ming, is Grace
still here?

No, she left
for the airport.

She's going to Hong Kong.
Did she give your parents
her flight information?

Well, she had
to say something,
you know?

Which airport? JFK?

Nothing?

Or LaGuardia?

LaGuardia doesn't have
international flights.

Well, maybe she went
to LA first.

Ming, this isn't
helping me.

I feel your pain, dude.

Okay, okay, look,
she came to Chinatown

before she went
to the airport,

so doesn't it make sense
that you went to Newark?

Newark!
Right!

Dude! Yeah!
Right.

I should take
a chance, right?

What do you got to lose?
Right, right, right.

Newark. Newark Airport.

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

She's here.

Don't go.

Andrew, what
are you doing here?

I don't want you to leave.

What?
Until I met you...

I had no idea
what I was missing.

I'm in love with you.

Andrew...

I am about
to get on a plane.

I'm about to start
a new job
in Hong Kong.

I'm about to start
a new life.
Okay.

Okay, okay.

Do you love me?

Yes.

I love you.

But what are you gonna do?
Move to Hong Kong
to be with me?

I dare you to ask me
to do that.

I double dare you.

If you want to be with me,
then you have to be
with all of me.

And that means having
dinner with Ma and Ba
every Sunday night,

and upgrading
kitchen appliances,

and supporting
my brother's dreams
because that is who I am now.

That's who
you've always been.

That's why I want
to be with you.

Really?
Really.
