"Yes, bye" "I never dream that she will call me" "But I alw ays stop in front of the telephone kiosk" "Maybe she has returned to Macao" "Or maybe she just wants someone to kill a night with her" "No soon, my mother passed away" "Then I changed to be a sailor" "Son, come to eat your meal lt's ready now" "Ranjet, come and eat" "Don't you want me to beat you?"

"You seems to be very upset I'll treat you to the cinema, OK?" "I still have a few bugs with me" "Are you very poor?" "Maybe I can support you" "My sister has transferred to work in Oriental Nightclub" "She said it was easy to earn a living being a club girl" "But you have to pick me up everynight after work" "Then I will be your "boy" then" "To be happy is the most important thing I won't tell others" "You still want to go to the movie?" "Let's go then" "But I want to set my hair first" "You don't have to change?" "Hey, you still haven't changed your shoes" "I had breakfast with Old Man this morning" "He realised that I'm in bad mood" "He asked me to go to USA with him" "I know it pretty well that, ...in my age" "It's difficult to find someone really like me" "Since he treats me so well" "So is it!" "Though he's quite old, but he is kind hearted" "What do you think?" "I won't come back anymore lf you want to, you can go with me I won't force you if you don't like to" "Of course you can't force me" "You want to leave yourself" "Don't dream!" "You force me to be with you so many years" "And now you just said that you would go I won't let you go!" "I've taken care of you for so many years I won't dessert you" "I have arranged everything for you I will leave you the house" "I'll send you money every month" "I want nothing I just want you to stay behind" "You always want to keep me with you" "So now I won't let you go lf you dare to leave" "You want to scare me?" "Alright, I don't mean to leave I'll be old after few years" "Do you mean that you would take care of me?" "For what can you take care of me?" "I don't care lf not, we will die together then" "This is your dream" "You did quite a good job!" "You have been a foe to me for these years" "Can't you be a bit better to me?" "You shouldn't let me know that I am adopted" "Everything will then be perfect" "You let me know a bit and hide a bit," "...I only want to know who are my parents" "Why don't you tell me?" "Don't you know that you are giving me an excuse to hate you?" "You can go and find it out yourself" "The Philippines is not so big after all, go  search then" "You dare not to go!" "You're afraid to find out that your mother is not rich" "And she's not from a famous family, maybe worse than me" "That's not your business I'll not give up if you don't tell me" "We can play this game onwards" "You will have to tell me the truth some fine days I won't be happy to hear from others I want you to tell me by yourself" "Unless you have died" "Then we will be happy" "I should not let you know before I tell you," "...for you are not my own blood I know you will leave me" "I always think that I will be alright I never know that I am unwilling to let you go" "I keep not telling you," "...I am a bit selfish" "I do it because I want to protect you" "They planned to dessert you lf they really want you, they will come to find you long ago" "You won't understand I know that you'll not listen to whatever I said now" "You spoiled yourself for these years" "putalltheresponsibilityonme , you want a revenge" "Alright ...I'll tell you who your mother is now I can't stand it any longer" "You always use such an excuse before" "You can't use it any longer" "You want to go, right?" "Alright, go now" "Go as far as you can" "Don't let me know that you are cheating yourself" "Have you made up your mind?" "I've said so many times lt's time to go for once" "That's good" "Have you planned how long would you stay?" "I don't know what would happen there" "And I don't know when I would be back" "Take care of yourself" "Doesn't she know that you are leaving?" "I have to leave no matter she knows it or not" "Tell her that I've left if she comes to bother you" "Take it" "I know you like it for long" "Treat it well!" "Has he ever come here?" "Did you listen to me?" "Don't you think that you can ignore me?" "I know you two meet frequently" "Why do you have to be so cheap?" "He has said he didn't like you already" "Why can't you just leave him?" "Have you finished?" "Now he left you and you'd better go home to cry" "Why do you tell me this?" "I don't want to know that he treated me not so bad, ...and treated you not so good as well" "Don't touch me" "He treats all women the same" "We are almost closed, you have limited time here" "I shouldn't be here actually I shouldn't give you such a chance to feel cheerful" "But I feel he likes me a bit more" "No matter how, he left you because of me" "It's better for you to know it earlier" "You are the one to cry now I have recovered long ago" "What's the matter?" "Did your son ever come back?" "No" "Then do you know where can I look for him?" "No, he never tells me anything about him" "If you ever see him" "Tell him that Mimi is looking for him" "He gets my phone number" "I don't know whether I will see him or not I am leaving tomorrow" "Will he be leaving with you?" "May I have a look of your house?" "He used to ask me to wait downstairs before" "I really want to know what does this house look like" "It's just the same" "Am I silly?" "No, I am the same when I was still young" "Do you want me to call a cab for you?" "No, thanks" "It's you, I think it's York!" "He has left for the Philippines" "Why you have to follow me?" "Go away, I don't want to see you anymore" "Why do you ask me to go?" "Why don't you just let me to follow you?" "I don't want anything to happen to you I don't want you to be so good to me!" "I've told you not to love me before" "What do you mean?" "Taken up?" "His car is now yours, and you want me too?" "It doesn't mean that I've to love you when he's not aside I don't like you" "What are you doing?" "Don't stand on my way!" "What do you want?" "I really want to go to the Philippines l really want to go!" "Put the money safe" "Why so much money?" "Just as what you've said, it has to be matched" "He looks smart on that car" "I wonder what will I look like on that car" "So, it's better for me to sell it" "Go to the Philippines if you really want to" "Say sorry to York for me when you see him" "Tell him that I have sold his car" "If you really can't find York," "On 12th April, 1961" "At last, I come to my mother's house" "But she didn't want to see me" "The maids told me that she was not there" "By the time when I left this house, ...I knew that there was someone behind staring at me" "Though I wouldn't come back anymore" "I just want to see her for once" "To look at her face" "Since she doesn't give me a chance, I won't give her such a chance" "Any spare room?"

"Not everybody is like you!" "You need not care about life!" "I have to work, to earn my living, don't you know?" "Should you want a passport, buy with money!" "You should not make so much trouble at all!" "Don't you know that we are almost killed!" "Don't you think you would be killed?" "Men will easily get killed, may be train accident!"

"I can remember what should be remembered" "Are you two dated frequently?" "In a certain period" "After my new job, we seldom meet then" "How about you?" "I?" "No" "What else did she tell you?" "No more" "Actually, we know each other for a short period of time only" "Do you like her?" "It's different, we are friends only" "When you see her again, tell her I forgot everything" "This is good to both of us" "Maybe I will never meet her again" "Even if I can see her," "Maybe she can't recognise me" "You come here alone, Aren't you afraid?"
