"He's young enough to be our kid" "Yeah..." "Our kid" "Why don't you ever call?" "Since when do I call?" "God, this place is a dump" "No more a dump than it was two years ago" "Two years." "Two years?" "It's over two years since last time you showed up" "How long are you in town for this time?" "I don't know." "Just passing through" "What would happen if I'd died while you were out on the road?" "C'mon..." "You die?" "Just think this will all be yours" "All this?"

"But then I'd have been too old to marry you for what it's worth... so, was I worth the price?" "Don't talk like that" "I'll pay you back when I can" "I mean it" "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry, OK..." "I am not sorry!" "That's right!" "Remember that you're not sorry!" "I'm gonna fix myself some supper... they're probably having a champagne dinner somewhere" "You want something?" "No" "How about "No, thank you"?" "No, thank you" "You're a very polite young man" "Just shut up!" "Shut up please!" "Can you say "please"?" "Please" "A little gratitude could be shown here you know my husband is helping you and girlfriend get your citizenship here" "Right." "After we all go to jail" "Not me pal..." "I've got nothing to do with it!" "What?" "What's going on?" "What?" "Did you hear something?" "Hi" "Hello, Mr. Moretti and Mrs. Moretti" "I thought we heard some voices inside" "Hi, there, you two are finally home!" "Excuse me..." "Please come in" "What's the matter with you?" "That's Mr. Moretti's cousin, right?" "Yes" "How did you meet Mr. Moretti?" "Through a friend" "What's the friend's name?" "The name is John Waine." "John Waine" "She needs to sober up" "You are doing this deliberately aren't you?" "You want me to go to jail?" "Help!" "Fire!" "Rape!" "Oh, come on, any fool can see through you" "You live here?" "I used to live here until she moved in" "Mario, look at this mess!" "What happened to us?" "Can I speak to you alone?" "I must apologize She's had too much to drink" "Maybe you should talk to my wife She specks Chinese..." "Siao Yu..." "I don't speak Chinese" "Just tell me is she your cousin or your lover" "What's the difference?" "Excuse me!" "Don't you see what's going on around here?" "I love him, I am just jealous!" "But that's my problem" "Not his fault, not her fault" "Ciao Baby!" "I'd like to remind you not to forget your interview on Monday" "We won't" "If you don't mind" "I would like to take a look at your bedroom." "Is this it?" "It's a real mess..." "You should see my bedroom" "Well, have a good evening" "Goodnight" "Giang Wei!" "How come you are here?" "I've been waiting for you for fucking hours" "And I had to wait outside" "Where did you go with the old man?" "We're discussing the interview" "Why can't you do it here?" "You didn't go to work now?" "What the hell is going on here with you two?" "I am asking you, what is going on between you two?" "I don't know what you're saying but you better say it nicely, OK?" "Fuck you!" "Giang Wei!" "You crazy?" "Are you ok?" "Mario?" "Alright..." "Sure?" "I'm ok, sure" "Mario here's your 20 and 75 cents" "75 cents?" "I don't charge interest" "I borrowed it from your wife She's a good kid" "You borrowed it?" "C'mon where did you get your 20 dollars?" "From baby-sitting" "Baby-sitting?" "Who would ask you to baby-sit?" "You'd be surprised" "See you." "Tino" "What are you talking about?" "I'll be out of here first thing in the morning" "I do travel for a living, you know that don't you?" "Pappy, where is my big bag?" "I can't go back to Mario" "But he needs you" "You gotta be kidding." "Honey" "I guess he's never told you about us" "We got married on Monday on Tuesday he goes to prison for 3 goddamn years as a conscientious objector objecting to whatever the hell war it was... the Korean..." "No, as a matter of fact, it was Vietnam" "Anyway, from then on I started to travel" "I never bothered to let him know where I was" "We never really needed each other we just think we're still in love you know time passes, people get that way all of a sudden love exits you don't know why" "You know what I mean?" "Christ, what do you know about life?" "I know" "You do" "I know you care about him" "Don't worry." "He is going to be OK!" "He's a tough guy" "He's been knocked around few times" "You just make sure the man you love stays away from your husband" "Your husband, too" "Come here" "How old are you?" "Twenty four" "Jesus, twenty-four!" "Disgusting" "Youth is certainly disgusting" "Hey Pappy, I need that bag" "Better hurry and change" "We are going to be late for the interview" "I am not going" "What?" "I don't want to go to the interview" "What happened?" "What the hell happened?" "Mario, I think Giang Wei is cheating on me, he is..." "I don't know why I am getting a Green Card?" "So you don't want to go?" "Ok, that's your decision, we won't go" "Mario, you're not helping me" "What do you mean I'm not helping you?" "I respect your decision but not Giang Wei's" "So if you don't want to go, we won't go" "And maybe it's time for you to also learn to respect yourself a little more" "It's your life" "Congratulations!" "Thank you, Mario" "This boyfriend of yours..." "You gonna forgive him?" "Forgive him" "No" "Do you love him?" "Yes, you love him" "Yes" "Good." "Pretty soon you're gonna marry him" "No" "Yeah." "It's just like me and Rita" "I loved her so much... but I was too young too immature to appreciate it" "And now" "it's too late" "You better move back tomorrow" "I've had enough of this fish smell" "We can look for a better job" "Giang Wei, do you or don't you believe there's nothing between Mario and I?" "Let's forget it." "It's all over anyway" "How can you say that?" "What do you mean?" "So there is really something between you and the old man" "No, what I mean is if we're going to be together we got to trust each other, right?" "Do you know how I managed to live through these past months?" "Everything is messed up" "The more you care for that old man" "The more lousy I feel" "Mario is old enough to be my father..." "C'mon" "Let's not mention this again" "What's wrong with you?" "Pretty soon we'll forget everything" "Really?" "I thought you are sleeping" "I was" "Are you alright?" "I'm tired" "I'll make you dinner You want Chinese or Italian?" "No, I'm not hungry" "Mario, I'm moving out tomorrow" "I see you are cleaning up your place let me help you to finish it" "Mario, remember?" "You promised me I can read your book when you finish it" "Can I keep one of these?" "What happened, Mario?" "I think my feet fell asleep" "OK!" "Try to stand up." "C'mon, try to sit..." "Let's try again, C'mon, come on" "No, I can't..." "I'm OK." "Just need some rest" "No!" "You're not OK." "You could... maybe it's a stroke" "No, I just need to..." "No!" "Siao Yu, don't!" "No!" "Siao Yu, don't call" "They're gonna take me to hospital" "I don't want to be there alone" "Just leave me here, I'm OK" "Just leave me a minute Just give me a minute" "Good morning" "Good morning" "Excuse me, you're all packed to go?" "Mario" "I feel a lot better" "I think I am going to call some friends..." "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Yeah" "I'd love a cup of coffee and a newspaper" "You are a good kid, Siao Yu A real good kid" "If I ever needed a friend..." "Yes, Mario, I am your friend..." "I am always your friend" "I'm just around the corner Be there in two minutes" "Giang Wei."
