"I've made some dessert" "Are you dumping me?" "Even so, not now, OK?" "Hey..." "I have nobody to turn to now, asshole" "Are you OK, Madam Coco?" "I'm OK" "Those men are waiting, go" "Back so soon, Happy?" "That guy had it before fixing his rubber" "Not even two minutes" "It's got to be a kid" "The lady I ate with last night... is really nice, Madam" "She cares about us very much" "She says... she'd like to pay us a visit here" "Let her come in before we start at night" "No, she wants... to watch us work" "Watch us?" "We're doing business here" "She helped me." "I'd like to return her the favour" "C'mon, Madam" "Why not let her sit here, just put her... among the unpopular girls, OK?" "Let me think about it" "I know this song" "Why don't you take me out?" "Let my Jap friend have some fun first" "What's up?" "We're entertaining our client from Japan" "Haven't you got anybody more decent here?" "They're more like sex toys than anything else" "Stop pretending" "Isn't it what you're here for?" "Oh yeah?" "We could've gone to the private ones for it" "Sorry, my girls aren't good at this yet." "They lack social skills" "Madam Yes?" "Have you got anybody who can make conversation?" "Of course" "The Mainland girls, right?" "Shenzhen has a lot" "They're pretty, inexpensive and well-mannered" "Why should we waste our money here?" "Go get some sociable ones here" "OK..." "The border is now open 24 hours going to Shenzhen is handy" "Renting a car to go is easy" "That's right" "Give us the bill We're switching to Shenzhen now" "Powder room, Madam" "Look at her, Madam" "She left even before us" "Sorry, next time I'll buy you a bottle of wine" "Don't get angry, have a drink... relax" "I'd like to take you to Thailand for a few days" "OK, when?"

"She's very keen on... helping the weak" "My girlfriend, Jane" "Hello" "Hi What are you up to lately?" "We're trying to set up a union for sex-workers to fight for rights and benefits for them" "Feminists don't like to call those people prostitutes" "I must go, got a meeting to catch" "I have to go out in the field tonight" "Talk to you later, bye Bye" "Eat?" "Let's go" "What is this for?" "Marry me" "We've only been together a few months" "No, what about our primary school days?" "Would you believe it if I said" "I already liked you in primary school?" "I guess I have to" "So yes or no?" "Yes" "We have many relatives and friends" "My family alone will take up at least 30 tables at our wedding banquet" "What about you?" "How many tables will we reserve for your family?" "Wedding banquet?" "My parents are very traditional and I'm their oldest son" "They'd be embarrassed without a wedding banquet" "I'd like a wedding banquet, too" "That would be the only chance to run a show of our own" "It's a very troublesome thing" "It'd just be a one-off show" "I'm going to the powder room" "Where would you like to go, Miss?" "Anywhere" "Take me to work" "Turn left" "Well, congratulations" "Got yourself one last big deal before going home" "You're just so smart" "Come back to do freelance for us" "Your friend?"

"No wonder he cut you off" "Well, you asked me to talk to them, to be sociable" "Even so, you must use your brain, Jesus" "All you know is eating" "Why do you think I'm here?"

"A human dart board" "The same night, dad gave us Xmas presents" "He was that Santa Claus" "He took that job to buy us Xmas presents" "He said we sisters never had any toys before" "I knew he loved us very much" "So, me and my sister swore to God... we must make a lot of money... to buy dad's dignity back" "What is it?" "Your name, Nana" "(Day 7)" "Hello I lost my mobile, sis" "Write down my new number" "Madam Jenny said you quit private work" "Yes" "The lady boss kicked me out for my needle tracks" "Why can't you quit it?" "What do you do now?" "Out on the street in Yau Ma Tei" "You're so young already cruising the street?" "Go home, I'll pay off your debt" "I can handle it myself" "Cruising feels free anyway" "I heard many are cruising over at the hotel" "Why don't you go give a try?" "I did, couldn't beat the Mainlanders" "Go home to get some sleep when you feel tired" "Don't sleep in the inns" "I'll buy some noodles home when you feel hungry..." "I must go" "A man is staring at me, bye now" "Well, yes or no?" "Only the oldies would charge you $200" "I'm just in my twenties" "So what?"

"I didn't show up for Thailand" "She's really angry" "Let her calm down first I'll go see her later" "I also want to go with you to your former man's... to collect your stuff" "OK" "I treated Ken like God He treated me like shit" "He wouldn't have let me keep his keys had it not been for his syphilis" "That's why you should take your things back" "The fan and the hot water bottle are mine" "You're Ken's man?" "So?" "Don't worry, I'm not here for you" "I just want Ken to pay me compensation" "Where is he?" "You must be Coco" "Let me introduce myself" "I'm also Ken's man" "Ken's ill." "Didn't he tell you?" "He can't, anyway" "Syphilis has got into his brain He's not conscious" "The doctor says that's it for him" "We were both scared to death cause he might've infected us" "Thank God, the doctor said the syphilis we got... is curable" "But you're a lot worse" "You've been with Ken for... two years" "Two... two years?" "Syphilis has got into your bones" "Are you two never informed, man?" "Don't you know about the blood test?" "No regular blood test?" "There're many types of blood test, Coco" "Which one did you have?" "Yeah, have you had the serum test?" "I want to see the doctor" "Have you registered?" "My name is Ka-yee Au" "Hello, what would you like to check this time?" "Syphilis" "Coco Where is Suzy, mom?" "In there, she'll come out soon" "What's wrong, Coco?" "Suzy" "Give Granny What's the matter?" "I want to take her to the doctor's, mom" "Why?" "I have an infectious disease" "I'm not going." "I want to go home with granny" "Come with mom to the doctor's, be good" "Granny will wait for you at home No" "Baby" "You go home first." "Mom I'll take her back later" "Why did I need the injection?" "Sorry, baby" "It's all mom's fault" "Sorry, baby" "Your brain will rot without the injection" "Your face will rot" "Why do I need the injection after swallowing your tears?" "Mom's bad." "Mom's stupid" "I shouldn't have hugged you in tears" "It hurts, right?" "Mom loves you" "Look, business is slower and slower everyday" "It's better to serve clients from the Mainland or Hong Kong?" "Neither" "They want to try many different ways which is OK, as long as they're generous" "The worst are those who can't get a hard-on" "That means you have to do a blow-job" "One time, I spent 11/2 hours doing it and still it was useless" "Were you proud of yourself when you finally got him hard?" "What makes me proud is to contribute all the money I earn to my home town" "You know what, we North-eastern women are among the most ambitious in China" "I love my hometown" "Does your home town know what you do here in Southern China?" "Of course not" "It's not that my people don't know" "They've just agreed to pretend not to know and tell people we do big business" "Aren't you worried that your husband might betray you?" "Our Sichuan men are most appreciative" "They never dump their wives" "Although our North-eastern men are sort of careless they pay high respect to their women making a living out here" "Look at Happy's husband" "He looks after their kids at home hasn't spent a penny of what Happy gives him" "He sent the money to the county office to set up a primary school" "He made Happy the school's vice-principal... after he became the principal himself" "So Happy will take up that job as soon as she retires from here" "Hello, everyone" "Aren't you supposed to be kept for five days?" "Happy?" "That person was too tired to take me to bed tonight" "So I sneaked out" "I can do some freelance for a couple of days, Madam Jenny" "Count me in" "I'm really proud of Happy" "She's my first girl to retire and become a vice-principal" "What's wrong, Madam Coco?" "You look upset" "I'll treat everyone to the hotel for a day tomorrow... to celebrate my retirement will you join us?" "I had a watch like this" "(Day 8)" "It's hot and sunny Why would anybody want to swim?" "I'll go upstairs to do my facial" "Doing it here is very expensive" "Don't worry about Happy's money" "All our expenses today are on her client" "Right, ask everyone to go" "Happy" "I'm going out for dinner with a Jap client" "Take some girls with you" "Call me" "That man gave you the watch." "Give me that" "How can this watch be yours, Madam?" "This is what I earned from my last deal here" "You pee?" "You pee right on" "It's warm here" "So you two serve the same man" "Do you know her other man has AIDS" "I'm not afraid of that I always go for tight safety" "But the breaking news is that man hasn't got AIDS" "He has syphilis" "Syphilis?" "What?" "Syphilis?" "Damn" "She peed on me" "Damn, I'm pretty nice to her" "Why did she pee on me?" "Does she know... one can get infected with syphilis from pee?" "Damn, that man could've kept other women if not me" "And she peed on me for such a trivial thing?" "OK..." "Coco didn't pee on you on purpose" "Syphilis can be gone with just one shot" "Of course I know that" "One injection, it'll be OK" "Damn, I'm mad because her pee damaged my professional record" "Damn, I have wanted to be... a healthy and happy whore from day one" "For 7 years, I don't gamble don't keep a toy-boy don't serve anyone not wearing a rubber" "Neither do I smoke, drink, smoke dope nor ever get depressed" "What other whore is as strong-willed as me?" "You'll be a vice-principal in your home town" "Forget about professionalism" "Damn, do you know how much I've suffered in the last few years?" "It's the professional spirit that keeps me... from going crazy" "God damn whoever peed on me" "To hell with you" "Damn it" "I'm so professional She ruined me with her pee" "Damn, I've been doing this for 7 years couldn't get a hard-on" "It's their own problem" "Yet they blamed it all on me scolded me for not doing my job" "Damn it, I'm such a professional Who says I don't act like one?" "Damn it." "Damn" "Happy See" "Your so-called happiest sex toy isn't happy at all" "Happy isn't any sex toy She's a sex-worker" "You've never been a whore How would you know what her life is like?" "You're in no position to talk about our rights" "How dare you?" "You wanted to dump me, just say so" "Why did you con my watch?" "Give compensation, quick" "Real men shouldn't... rip women off What're you doing, Coco?" "I kept you for so long." "You should know by now if I'm a real man" "You're cheap" "Am I?" "I'm no cheaper than your other men" "I'm more than generous" "I knew you had several and still paid your mortgage" "Pretending not to know... isn't what any man can bear I think I'm OK" "Damn you" "(Day 9)" "What're you doing, Miss?" "Waiting" "I.D., please" "$700" "Let's go" "Where're you going?" "You let your anger out on the street whores" "Where do they let theirs out?" "I'm one of them" "What you do embarrass me" "Why are you raising your voice?" "Next time I'll find some night club girls, OK?" "You're sick, go find a shrink" "I did" "They are expensive and prejudiced against us" "I do the girls to relax" "So that I can work hard and make money for your surgery" "Why are you raising your voice?" "Those girls don't make much money" "Why do they still spend it on you gigolos?" "Cause they need to balance themselves too" "This is what our business is all about." "Why must you want to get it all back from them?" "If you really want things done that way" "I'd rather earn the surgery money myself" "You're right" "Having been in this job for so long" "I should be used to the way it's supposed to be" "Sorry" "Mom Come in" "I'll get you some soap OK" "Suzy baby" "I'm not having the needle" "No needle..." "C'mon, I'll tell you something" "Come stay with me" "So, mom can take care of your life" "Can sleep with you, OK?" "No, I want to stay with granny" "Granny will move in, too" "Go ask granny, c'mon" "Grandma" "Mom wants to live with us" "What did you call me, Suzy?" "Say that again" "Wait until we live together" "OK, sure" "I'm afraid of your tears" "Not any more, mom has just gone to the doctor's" "He said mom hasn't got infected" "No more needles from now on" "Watch what you tell your daughter" "I'm not living with your men" "No more men." "Not one left" "Only us three" "Sorry, this card didn't go through have you got another one?" "Where's Tony?" "Where is he?" "He's not back yet" "He's got all my money Make him pay this bill" "Where's Tony?" "OK..." "Tony will take care of this" "If not, I will" "That's just one of my cards Fine..." "What's the big deal?" "Let's go" "Come this way, Ray" "Tony What're you doing?" "He's Tony" "Who is that woman?" "You mistook him" "Don't do that I know her" "Peter, go get security Is Tony inside?" "I'll walk you out What the hell are you doing?" "I'm very tired today" "Right" "What's the problem?" "Something happened..." "I couldn't get you on your mobile" "It ran out of charge" "I bumped into that bitch Which one?" "The one who sent someone to beat me" "She said I took her hubby away" "Now she turned around to get mine How embarrassing" "I don't know what to do" "I want to kill myself You said you'd do the same" "She just lost a watch." "Kill herself for a watch, are you kidding, man?" "What, then?" "Make the casino boss learn about them" "For sure he won't let them run away Then they're going to get it" "I'll feel better, and can renew my life" "Better to renew your life as a whore" "A whore is better than a mistress" "One more seat, please" "(Day 10)" "Really?" "Yeah" "Why are you earlier and earlier these days, Nana?" "Start earlier, catch more fish, make more money" "Why weren't you like this before?" "I really admire you, Jenny" "Madam" "Freelancing again, Happy?" "No, just had dinner with Elsie I'm back here to pay you a visit" "Good girl" "I won't stay long I need to return to the hotel" "Take a seat OK" "Madam Coco" "I'm returning your watch" "I don't want to see it any more, keep it" "No, it's yours" "Keep it, my gift for your retirement" "Well..." "Thank you" "My blood test report came back" "That pee was no big deal" "Madam Jenny told me already" "I'm going to Shenzhen for good tomorrow will fly home directly from there" "I'm here to say goodbye to you all" "You are leaving?" "Don't cry, silly girl" "I'll miss you all" "Take care" "You too" "Hello" "The manager wants to see me" "Hello" "He wants to see me, too" "Jo, the casino boss' wife was... supposed to celebrate with me for my birthday" "But she suddenly called it off and said she wouldn't come any more" "The worst is..." "I have to pay for the cake" "That's good." "I can keep you company on your day" "Where're we going?" "Take me to a club" "Attention, everyone" "I have a bad news" "Because our business is slower and slower a memo was made after the general meeting" "Our company does not want to hang on any longer" "So tonight is... our last night of work here" "However, all members of staff will be fully compensated" "Why do they tell us so late?" "Better than knowing it tomorrow, man" "Tonight is the last night" "Notify all your regular clients, OK?" "Boss..." "Excuse me, quiet, please" "I'm afraid I might not see you all again" "Listen up, will you?" "Prostitution is the world's oldest business" "No country... or ruler can eliminate sex deals" "The permanence of prostitution proves that there's a demand for sex services in society" "But male-dominated society and culture has been pressuring sex-workers for thousands of years at the same time prejudiced against them" "Therefore, the sex-workers' revolutionary purpose of our association is... to eliminate sex-workers' negative image" "So our society won't be prejudiced against them any more" "And they will respect their jobs more" "For the sake of rehabilitating prostitutes, next month there will be a demonstration to defend their rights and benefits" "I hope all of you will come to join us to defend your future" "What are you talking about?" "Talking about sex to their face... is to make them admit who they are" "Call-girls don't respect themselves... cause they see themselves as sex-workers" "We aren't sex-workers, we're PK" "Not PK, Public Relations" "What rights and benefits were you talking about?" "What good will it do us?" "Firstly, we have to fight to... repeal the law about soliciting for immoral purpose" "Sex-workers are severely prejudiced against by this law" "Also, we must go against the police's abuse of the regulation on soliciting... to frame sex-workers on the street" "Hookers on the street should be arrested They're too much" "All because they can do nothing else" "Hookers have human rights, too" "What they do is just a job like everyone else's" "If you think sex-workers are vain sad, and pathetic yourself people out there will look down on you more" "I..." "I was a secretary before" "It was so damn boring" "As soon as I became a whore I was alive and kicking" "All my clients enjoyed my company" "After sex, I took my fellow workers out to eat and play" "I made money and had fun" "What job can be better than being a whore?" "Tell me" "Most unbelievable was my asshole boyfriend" "He forced me to quit so I became Madam Coco" "Not only do I worry about the business but also I have to listen to those stupid clients' complaints and to make very sure that you girls come to work on time" "I... so much enjoyed being a whore" "So what?" "I am vain." "Who isn't?" "I'm happy with it." "I had great fun" "You have my support, Elsie for whatever revolt you're taking up next month" "I am criticizing all assholes who have deprived us of our right to be whores" "Don't trouble yourself" "What rehabilitation?" "What rights for whores?" "Haven't we got enough whores now?" "Call-girls used to further their studies in school for the sake of their retirement" "Nowadays, all they want is to learn different skills in bed" "That won't last for too long so they remain whores all their lives" "I've been a head for 20 years... and went through everything" "The saddest is to see my girls... turning into sex machines" "Not sex machines, sex-workers" "Since you like sex work so much why don't you give it a try in Sham Shui Po yourself?" "Guaranteed you'd gain more experience than you need" "Hello" "Hello" "Our guests are here." "C'mon..." "Go out to greet them, be professional, OK?" "Welcome..." "Welcome..." "What?" "Calling your friend?" "It'll just be a disaster" "Haven't we seen enough of this before?" "Tony" "This is our last day of work here" "Don't make fun of my girls, please" "Last day of work?" "Yes, less and less business" "No" "I won't do that again" "It's Tony's birthday today" "We're here to celebrate" "We aren't going out tonight go get a couple who can sing" "Thank you." "I'll go get them" "Let's get rolling..." "Tanya, Joyce, Nana, come with me" "Come on, girls..." "Here come the pretty girls" "Make your choice" "Over here..." "Nana, here" "Long time no see, Mr Liu" "Go over, Jane, do a good job..." "OK, cheers..." "Thanks..." "Done, gentlemen" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "I'm going, bye" "Thank you" "I checked it for you already you have a discount" "Thank you" "None of your business" "Sis" "You got yourself stuck on the street It broke my heart" "Don't blame me for locking you and throwing away your things for I want you to get off it" "I heard that Happy saved a lot of money" "She's retired, now a school vice-principal in her home town" "Suddenly I envy her, want to be like her" "Although I know I won't enjoy my work" "I will at least respect it" "I'd like to be a hard-working, professional and purposeful whore, together with you" "I believe we can do this until our retirement as long as you get off the drug" "We can start our lives again" "Haven't seen dad for so long When you're off the drug..." "We'll go back to Tin Shui Wai to visit him..." "Nana" "J, hold it"
