"No" "What did he say?" "That he'd told the police?" "And they'll let us know if they're found?" "Rubbish!" "A foreman eating cold food?" "That's tough!" "Yes, a foreman isn't used to such frugal living" "Ah Kun, why do you say that?" "I don't like him" "We'd best keep away from him" "It's no use being nice to him" "We'll tell him to go when Hsu returns" "Ah Kun is a good man but impulsive" "Don't be angry" "I won't!" "They don't understand me" "In time, they will." "Bear up!" "I'm going to work." "Better go home" "Mr. Cheng" "Are you looking me?" "Since you're here, sit down" "What's making you unhappy?"
