"May be rest in peace!" "Don't be so sad." "If you're too sad..." "The spirit of you relative will feel bound to this world." "We must let his spirit go." "If someone is buried at sea," "I can't bring the ashes ashore." "Not even a single ash." "Its unprofessional." "Hold it." "Duan, maybe you can claim it back." "Its as occupational hazard!" "Thank you." "Let's go." "There's a meeting tomorrow morning." "All right. / Say goodbye to uncle." "Bye. / Bye." "Yea, bye." "Drive carefully. / Okay." "Bye." "George, Ivy, I'm going." "Come back for dinner." "Bye. / Bye." "Come and take a shower." "Here comes the mourner!" "Please stop." "Please bow." "First bow!" "Second bow!" "Third bow!" "Family members return bow!" "Thank you." "Would the mourner please light incense?" "Here comes the mourner!" "Mourner, please stop." "Please bow." "First bow!" "Second bow!" "Third bow!" "Please." "I want to hire you." "How can I help you?" "I want to arrange a funeral." "For whom?" "For me." "Excuse me?" "I have cancer." "Miss, I think you should see a doctor and not well on these thinks." "I can afford it." "Do you want the job or not?" "There are now many ways to cure cancer." "Have you tried them all?" "I have no right to tell you what to do." "Drugs, chemotherapy and surgery are all painful." "If you're sure you are not going to live long, you should do something worthwhile." "Worthwhile?" "Like helping others." "Bye." "Miss, wait a minute." "Please take this." "Its our usual practice." "Fear no taboo." "Let me think about it." "Give me a ring tomorrow." "Go to see Dr Wai tomorrow, do it for your father's sake." "Lets talk about it tomorrow." "Do you know what you're doing is thoughtless?" "It's not good to torture us with your illness." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Good night." "Hello?" " Hello." "I'm the girl who spoke to you this afternoon." "Yes?" "You asked me to call you the next day." "It's now after midnight and so its the next day." "So, I'm calling you." "What's your decision?" "This is my partner, Ken." "He acts as our witness today." "Before I undertake your appointment, I hope we can agree on certain things..." "I have only two conditions." "Go ahead." "First, you can't give up on yourself." "He means you can't commit suicide." "What?" "You think I'm crazy?" "That's good." "Secondly, I hope to get your parents' approval." "That's not your business." "I just don't want to waste time." "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "I am Mr Wong's secretary." "My name is Elsa." "Me Wong asked me to thank you personally." "Let me explain this contract." "The first paragraph says that..." "Prior to Miss Wong's passing, you're not allowed to disclose the details of her health to anybody." "Okay?" " Okay." "The second paragraph says you must accompany Miss Wong to visit America for a week." "I'll also come along with you." "Okay?" "Excuse me... / Yes?" "If Miss Wong recovers from her illness, her funeral will be no longer required, then..." "According to clause 41 on page 16 of the contract, we are entitled to terminate the contract at any time." "Any questions?" " No." "What about these items that have been ordered?" "Like flowers and a coffin act." "Could you settle those invoices in advance?" "Okay, Don't worry" "Thanks a lot." "Oh, yes... we haven't paid your fee yet." "Do you want me to state you'll be paid in advance?" "Or do you have another suggestion?" "Okay, you can pay me first." "Okay." "Hello?" "Yee, this is Daddy." "I'm going to Shanghai." "Yee, I won't interfere with anything you do." "I only hope that you can promise me to have the operation." "Okay?" "Miss, your shampoo. / Thank you." "Please pay over there." "Hello, Jane." "Jane." "What a coincidence!" "I was just passing by and came in to say hello." "How have you been?" "Not too good." "I just broke up with Albert." "I'm going to America next week." "I've just received an order." "An order from America?" "You must be doing well." "Is there anything I can get you?" "Yea, something America..." "See if you can buy the vulture shown on the Ginseng packet!" "Have you changed your pager number." "No, I haven't." "Okay." "Keep in touch." "Oh, yes, do you want to buy anything?" "How about a bottle of perfume for your girlfriend?" "What?" "Don't tell me you're not dating." "You're still thinking about me?" "Are you okay?" "Please leave me alone." "Thank you." "For what?" "I have never taken a long haul flight before." "I enjoyed the inflight movie." "I meant to see it, but I missed it in the theatres." "There was a baby sitting in front of me." "He smiled at me the whole journey." "You gave me all these opportunities." "That's why I say thank you." "Are you serious?" "Very." "You like chocolate?" "Yes." "I have a sweet tooth." "My mother is buried here." "I'll be buried here too." "I know." "Yee, you shouldn't think about such sad things." "She'll feel better if she cries." "After she releases the emotion, she'll be calmer." "Where are you going now?" "Back to the hotel." "I feel a bit hungry." "Let's have something to eat." "When did you mother die?" "Six years ago?" "She drove into take one evening." "They said she was drunk." "We don't know whether it was an accident or suicide." "Yee, try my cheese cake." "It's delicious." "No, thanks." "She has some cheesecake." "Why does she need to try yours?" "Tell me, what made you choose this career?" "My father started the business." "Then, my eldest brother took it over whole I was working in computers." "When he changed career, the family business foundered." "So, I took it over." "You are such a good man." "Someone had to do it." "Did you girl friend mind?" "Not at the beginning, but then..." "She did?" "Yes." "We broke up eventually." "With your unusual career, it must be very difficult for you to make friends." "It doesn't matter what your career is." "Whether or not you have friends." "Depended on you." "In my case, my customers will invite me for tea sometimes." "One of them is in the shoe business and I can always get a 20%% % discount." "I think I came to right person." "Thank you." "All right." "Tell me, how would you like your funeral?" "The most important thing is I don't want Pansy there." "She's my father's mistress." "You should let her know, I don't mind that." "I understand." "Yee, you haven't taken you iron tablets for a long time." "Anaemia will make you faint." "I won't take them, please put them away." "I'll take them if I want to." "Yee, take the tablets." "Don't blame me if you get sick." "In fact, they don't taste too bad." "Are you mental?" "I just want you to try these tablets." "Tastes good." "Do you want some?" "Try it." "I want a bigger piece." "Me Wong, Yee seems so happy now." "Shall we wait for you?" "Don't bother, I can get back by myself." "How's it going?" "Are you getting better?" "Everyone in the class worries about you." "You should stay in Hong Kong and get some rest." "You shouldn't travel all this way." "I just want to ask you a question." "Go ahead." "Yee." "Who has upset you?" "You don't need to be so kind to me." "Why?" "It's not worth it." "With that attitude, no-one will be nice to you." "Can you leave me alone?" "Please?" "I just hate myself." "To hate somebody means to be opposed to somebody." "It is very hard to do." "Why can't you treat yourself a bit better?" "If I wanted you to stay with me for a year, would you?" "I would." "Of course, I would." "Forget about one year, even for 10 years, I'd still be happy to do it." "But I have to do my own thing as well." "Please don't jump." "Don't go too soon." "There's a lot of unfinished business." "Yee, go to the hospital." "You'll be fine." "I said I'm not going!" "Once I go in, I'll never come out." "Everything will be fine, darling." "There must be a reason why she doesn't want to go to hospital." "We should respect her wishes." "She'll be okay if she gets some rest." "I'm not going!" "Be a good girl." "There's still enough time to go back to Hong Kong for an operation." "Sorry to bother you." "I just came get some information." "Can I start now?" "Do you know much I hate being betrayed?" "Have you made a will?" "I never thought about it." "You have to prepare your last will and testament." "How you wish your property to be distributed." "Who do you want it given to?" "You ought to think about it clearly." "You need one original and one." "The original will be kept in the solicitor's office." "Where do you want to put other copy?" "You can write it down here later." "Father's name." "He still has a name, no matter how much you dislike him." "I'll tell him when you pass away." "Wong Cheuk Kong." "Cheuk is spelled C.H.E.U.K." "'Kong' means strong." "Your mother was buried in New York..." "Your stepmother's name?" "I don't want her to come to my funeral!" "If she insists on coming, maybe your father..." "Can we not mention this person?" "That won't mean she doesn't exist." "I think you should treat her better." "Otherwise, after you die." "She will use your bedroom for storage." "And give away your stuff to other people." "I don't have any pets." "She'll wear your clothes, and give away all your clothes." "She'll listen to your records, use your make- up." "And read your diary." "She'll have a baby with your father, two, three, even four children." "You father will slowly forget about you, unless you live longer than her," "and let her die earlier than you." "If I were you, I would have the operation right away." "Then, you'll become healthier and prettier than her." "She'll be so upset and lose all her confidence." "When she sees you..." "She won't dare look you in the eye." "Are we going back to the hotel?" "I want to go back to Hong Kong." "I'll book the tickets for you right now" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Pansy!" "You're back?" "What's the matter?" "Come and take a photo." "I've got to put some make-up on." "You don't need it." "You can put this on..." "Ms Wong..." "Where are you going?" "Looking for Duan." "Yes, I'm looking for Duan." "He's gone to the hospital to look for business." "Maybe he's at the death registry office looking for customers." "Did you page him?" "I did, but no reply." "Are you very busy?" "Yes, I have work to do." "You didn't even return my call." "One of our jobs was cancelled, and I worried you'd refuse to have the operation, saying you didn't want to live." "I'm willing to have the operation." "Cutting away part of the intertine, and then having it re-connected." "It it's successful," "I can go home in a week's time," "It will be successful." "If you take it easy, things will be all right." "I'm so scared." "Don't worry." "There's nothing to be scared of." "How about going into business together?" "You put in ten dollars." "You can have half the prize if we win." "When does the draw take place?" "On the same day you have your operation." "That's no good." "I'll keep thinking about the prize." "Don't speak too told." "You bought it and now you change your mind." "Its feeling might get hurt." "It's inanimate." "How could it hear?" "It can hear." "Okay, give it to me." "I want to have a word with it." "Mark Six, please be good and stay with him." "I'll bring you a long to collect the prize when I come out!" "Okay, Miss." "Duan!" "Why are you crying?" "I'm going to have an operation." "Why didn't you say you'd come and see me?" "I didn't say I wouldn't, and you didn't ask me." "There's no need to ask." "In my career, it's forbidden to visit patients." "No, you must promise me you'll come." "I'm sorry." "I promise." "I had a dream last night." "Guess who I met in my dream?" "Who?" "My mother." "She said I'd recovered." "You do look much better since the operation." "Am I prettier than before?" "Yes, but I think..." "Beauty is only temporary." "Having a kind heart is more important." "Do you think I'm a kind-hearted person?" "I didn't used to think you were." "Because you always treated yourself so badly." "But now, you've changed." "You agreed to receive treatment, and allowed others to help you," "Now you know how to look after yourself." "Being nice to yourself means you'll treat other people well." "I don't agree." "In this world, only certain people deserve your love." "Some don't." "One should be able to distinguish between love and hate." "There is no such thing as 'deserving' or 'undeserving'." "Each person has his or her good and bad points." "I think you always look at other's defects." "And seldom look at their merits." "Not true!" "You have lots of merits!" "What about your father?" "He's push-over." "He does whatever Pansy tells him." "This is his merit and also his defect." "What about Pansy?" "Pansy has no merit at all." "Her merit is to let me tease her." "What is your merit?" "My merit is being unreasonable." "Can this be called a merit?" "Forget it." "Come in." "I need to comply with the rules." "You can't enter someone's home!" "What sort of silly rule is that?" "Not even entering your friend's home?" "A friend's home, ok, but..." "If its okay, say no more, just come in." "Come on, don't waste time!" "Come in." "This wallpaper is rather special." "Yes, it has some medical value." "This is for you." "A frog pattern tie." "You shouldn't have..." "Don't you like it?" "I love it." "Madam wants to have a word with you." "I always wanted to express my thanks to you formally." "Yee is happy to let the doctor follow up the treatment." "Her mood is stable now and its all your good work." "Thank you." "There is one thing I want to know." "The wells of Yee's room are covered with my photos." "Was it your idea?" "Yes." "Now, I understand the method." "Sorry." "Don't worry." "I don't mind." "When I decided to stay with her father, I was prepared to be a step mother." "It is not easy to be someone's step mother." "I know that I can never substitute for her mother." "Not necessarily." "Be patient." "Spend more time with Yee, if you can." "She hasn't grown up yet and she has no friends." "You are her life belt." "She will not sink as long as you stay with her." "If you fine your job boring and want a change," "I can try to arrange it for you." "My family needs me." "My job involves a lot of money changing hands." "Usually, we only employ people we trust." "Its a tradition." "You can think about it." "Okay." "Hello?" "It's me." "What are you doing?" "Thinking of you." "I'll be busy tomorrow." "You'd better not come and see me." "Never mind, phoning is the same." "Can you stop relying on other people?" "If you want to be able to swim, you shouldn't keep gripping the life-belt." "You have to trust yourself." "You mean..." "I'm taking you as a life-belt." "I don't want..." "Alright." "It's okay." "Ken, check those weaths." "Yes." "Is it that haunting beauty?" "She's so beautiful and bewitching!" "Call her back now." "She's missing you." "Come here. / What for?" "I asked you to check the wreaths, how come the son's one by the door?" "I asked Sam to check them." "What an idiot!" "I told you to do it and you try and pass the buck." "Can't you just take the blame yourself for once?" "Sorry." "Bloody useless..." "That's crossing the line!" "Say that again!" "Too much fooling around has damaged your brain!" "What did you say?" "Say it again!" "Why?" "Does the truth hurt too much?" "I said you do nothing but fool around with girls!" "Duan!" "Duan, don't..." "Duan, what are you doing?" "Get out!" "Sorry." "Sorry." "This is Yee, ask him to phone me." "You keep mentioned the words life-belt..." "I'm sick of hearing it..." "If you keep crying, your eyes will swell up." "I'm unhappy now, so you can be my life-belt." "If you're unhappy in the future," "I can be yours." "What's so wrong with that?" "Please don't always think you're so right." "If you don't like me, I won't bother you any more." "I like you." "So that's okay then." "Let me say something." "Promise me, whatever happens in the future, you won't be angry." "I'm going in." "I'm really going in." "Get some rest." "Bye." "Bye." "Anything you want to say?" "Then... anything you want to do?" "Yes, I want to hug you." "Do you know why I have to hide from you?" "No." "Because I don't want to get another frog pattern tie." "I recall have to go." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye!" "Yee:" "Ask him to phone me." "Yee:" "Say I'm awaiting his call now." "Yee:" "Please ask him to call back, thanks." "You have a new message." "Yee, this is Duan." "Sometimes, when two people feel good together, it's not necessarily love," "It's can mean just as much to be good friends." "Forcing the issue is wrong." "Neither will be happy in the future." "You need more rest and to take good care of yourself." "Many people will about you and love you." "You should choose someone who really suits you." "Be happy with him." "The walls of your room, should be covered with people of you both." "Do me a favour." "Save this message." "Then, in many years time, if we become good friend again." "You can let me listen to this." "Bye." "Small world." "Duan won't see you any more." "Silly girl." "Go home, don't wait any longer." "Do you know what you're doing?" "I just want you to help Duan." "When Duan met you, he already had stomach cancer." "He daren't tell you because he didn't want you to give up." "Surgery, chemotherapy and drugs are all very painful." "Even if you think you can't make it, you can still do something worthwhile." "Like helping others." "After the operation, only half of his stomach was left." "So he cannot eat too much at a time." "Do you like chocolate?" "Yes, I have a sweet tooth." "After the operation, the cancer cells still survived." "He is very weak." "He tried chemotherapy, but it was no use." "I'm the only one he confided in about this." "He's afraid other people will worry about him." "Promise me." "No matter what happens in the future, don't be angry." "In the end, he chose not to continue the chemotherapy." "Just to let it be." "I'm sorry." "I didn't get angry." "But such a crucial matter..." "Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't ask me." "It has nothing to do with you." "Cancer is not infectious." "Sometimes, I think... you are probably an angle sent from the heaven." "Your mission is to test me." "To test how much I would like to go to heaven." "Heaven?" "If I really have to choose between you and heaven," "I choose you." "Thank you." "Mom." "Can you take the dog to visit uncle in the hospital?" "I told you so many times that dogs are not allowed in the hospital." "Can you walk a bit faster?" "Stop annoying me, or I'll slap you." "The tax return from has been delayed for some time." "It ought to be done." "Billy, why are you so quiet today?" "In a bad mood?" "I was born like this." "Can you please smile?" "Why do you force me to smile?" "Stand still!" "Come back!" " Ivy..." "Don't be so cruel to him." "Its really difficult to teach him." "It is difficult, but you have to try harder." "If you can't take care if him, who will?" "The ashes spread to my face." "At the end, his hands were covered with ashes." "But he still tapped your shoulder and said thank you." "When I saw your face, I really wanted to laugh." "Do you remember?" "Yes." "I almost burst into tears." "Let's go." "Later on, can you... post this tax return for me?" "You'd better go home and take a rest." "I've got George staying with me." "It's ok." "But I can't sleep while you're still here." "Have a drink, Daddy." "These flowers are beautiful." "Is there anything you want?" "Yee." "Please let me stay here with you." "Maybe you should go home first, Daddy." "The patient died." "One day, while Duan was in the hospital, he asked me a question." "He said, imagine if you were climbing with your friend, but you accidentally tripped, and nearly fell down the hill, and you were very scared." "And gripped your friend's hand, hoping that he could pull you up, then, after hanging there for an hour, you realized your friend was exhausted." "If you didn't let go of him, both of you would fall." "Finally, you decided to let go of his hand." "Duan asked me..." "What would you say before you let go?" "I thought for a while and said..." "I would say thank you." "But Duan said..." "The moment before you fell down the hill, would be burned into your friend's memory." "So, if it was him, he would pull a funny face to make his friend laugh." "Hoping that his friend would only remember his funny face, then, it wouldn't be so sad." "Duan asked me to tell you all today, before he leaves, he wants everybody here to do this..."
