"I've promised you before." "I promised to buy you a new flat." "But I let you down." "I haven't yet achieved that." "I am sorry." "Take it." "Mom." "Take it!" "Miss, may I know whom you are visiting?" "I'm here with an agent, for flat 8B." "I am afraid that I haven't been notified in advance." "I am sorry, Miss Cheng, I am late."

"What about dad?" "Dad's is over there." "Come with me." "I just want to save this room for Dad." "How is it?" "Nice." "Here's the washroom." "Take your time." "What did the seller say?" "I am sorry, Miss Cheng." "They stick to their asking price." "Not much I can do." "But frankly, it's a reasonable price." "Think about it." "I've shown you a couple of flats already." "This is the best of all, isn't it?" "Why won't you consider the D flat?" "It hasn't got a sea view." "No." "Right." "As you insist." "This one is just for you, Miss Cheng." "You know, I am not the sole agent." "Many other agents come with many clients." "I understand." "Please let me think." "Think about it over this weekend." "Don't wait till next week." "Excuse me, I gotta take this." "Hello?" "Miss Lau?" "How are you doing?" "Yes." "That flat is 750 square feet with 2 bedrooms." "Yes." "With an en-suite." "Yes, the price is wonderful." "You can't ask for more than that." "Sure, anytime." "Call me anytime if you got a problem." "What do you think?" "How does it play?" "OK." "It's simple." "What?" "A blowjob?" "Yes." "What's your plan?" "Anything suits you, suits me." "Then nothing is better than..." "Foursome." "Foursome?" "...all together." "Vomit?" "Don't throw up." "Don't." "Here's the towel." "She wants to go back to the hotel." "What a shame..." "Com'on, don't screw up." "Get up, get up." "Don't quit." "No." "Leave her alone." "Why don't you sleep first?" "I'll be quick." "Now what?" "We can still play as three." "No." "Great!" "Why not?" "I wanna do her first." "You come second." "Fuck off." "Why are you the first?" "Because you don't wanna play threesome." "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I am the one who found these girls." "Hello Blondie." "Open the door." "Get into the room." "Hey, you wanker." "What's up, bitch?" "What's up?" "What the fuck are you saying?" "What took you so long?" "I am almost done." "Where is On Jai?" "He is in the room, fucking." "He's having so much fun." "What about you?" "Wow, who's this?" "We planned to play foursome." "But she's too drunk for that." "Then you still have three." "He's the one who's got a problem." "Last time in Taiwan, we took a girl back to the hotel." "Something happened." "What is it?" "It's..." "Last time we took a girl." "Back to the hotel." "When I was screwing her..." "Com'on, pretend you are On Jai..." "You are in front of me." "The girl was lying down, doing a blowjob for you." "And I am underneath her." "That girl is my friend's cousin or something." "I didn't want to blow it in her." "As I was about to blow, and he was having his good time." "He was putting his face against her bust." "So I pulled out and blew." "It all burst on to his face." "Oh shit!" "Yeah exactly."

"This girl is hot." "Yeah." "But she's so drunk." "What can you do?" "She's nice." "Blow some coca into her nose." "Can I do that?" "So I've been told." "Along with her breath." "Here here." "Get up..." "Yeah, Get up." "Let's dance." "Get up..." "Get up..." "Com'on." "Dance..." "Oh Shit!" "All over your pants." "You wanker." "I'll fix this first." "I have to go." "I'll fetch some stuff to my boss in Central." "So long." "What is it?" "What..." "Wait!" "No, no." "You got me wrong." "I only ordered the stuff." "It's none of my business." "You've mistaken." "When will you finish?" "I want to go back." "Help." "Shit, it's gone out." "Hey Brother." "Can you just turn down your TV's volume a bit?" "Did he wake you up again?" "No, no." "It's the weather." "My throat is itchy." "Get changed." "I'll take you to the follow up check." "Boss is looking for you." "When will you be back?" "Mom, Sis is hitting me." "Hey kids." "Quiet please." "Sis hits me." "Stop it." "Where is your mom?" "You stop." "Stop it." "What's the matter?" "Ouch!" "Don't bully your brother." "What are you doing?" "It's his fault." "He messed with my cards." "What cards?" "Leave him alone." "Let go." "You are hurting him." "What are you doing?" "Let go." "How dare you!" "He messed with my cards first." "Have you lost your mind?" "You are hurting her!" "Sheung!" "Let her go." "What is all this fuss about?" "Is there anything wrong with sharing a room with your brother?" "She's spoiled!" "Let's go home." "Dad is useless." "Study hard." "Do your best." "When you make money in the future, you can have a room of your own." "Miss Cheng." "What did your father used to do?" "He worked as a builder." "For how long?" "About..." "Twenty years." "Now we have the medical check results and X-ray picture." "He's confirmed with Mesothelioma." "It's a kind of complication of" "Pneumoconiosis." "It could have been due to his long time working on building sites." "He must have inhaled excessive asbestos and dirt." "He might need a thoracotomy and chemotherapy afterwards." "According to the hospital report, in September 2004, your father went to Kwong Wah Hospital." "But in the medical policy subsequently purchased, you didn't declare this as a part of his medical history." "You can review that medical policy." "I've brought a copy myself today." "Do pay attention to this one particular term." "It says, if you haven't declared your dad's medical history, before you purchased the plan for him." "If we discover it afterwards..." "Hurry up..." "I want to borrow some money." "What?" "My father needs an operation." "But it's not covered by the insurance." "Plus all other medical expenses." "They cost more than $120,000." "Haven't you saved some money all these years?" "But that's for the down payment for the new flat." "You can buy a flat anytime." "Of course your dad's operation is more important." "No." "Seriously, I've saved that money for my life." "I'll buy that flat very soon." "Honestly, even if your dad is not sick, you shouldn't buy it at this moment." "But all the experts are positive about the market now." "It's a good buying time." "Experts?" "They are charlatans." "The market will go down." "Definitely." "Who will go into the market at this moment except fools like you?" "Why don't you forget buying a flat?" "Not that I am unwilling to lend it to you." "I don't know how to take it out." "She won't leave me alone." "Just tell your wife you've given the money to Big Kong." "How would she believe that I could give the money to that guy?" "Give me sometime." "I will fix it for you." "As the Queen's pier is to be demolished soon," "Activists' occupation campaign," "Continues," "Confronting the powerful police..." "As long as we stick together, we'll win." "Activists have been on hunger strike for 3 days" "Doctors are satisfied with their health conditions." "Some of the local activists have gone on hunger strike for over 80 hours." "Are they still demonstrating?" "Still smoking!" "Are you trying to kill yourself?" "Why did you go to the hospital without telling me?" "What are you talking about?" "In 2004." "They said you went to hospital in 2004." "You were diagnosed with Pneumoconiosis." "You never told me about that." "Why?" "I was coughing a bit." "That's all." "The doctor already confirmed you were sick." "And you never went to follow-up checks." "What's the big deal anyway?" "Anyway it's all your fault." "Because I didn't declare this on purchasing the insurance." "So your operation is not covered in that policy." "Did you hear me?" "What's the big deal?" "Then leave me alone." "Let me die." "Don't shout." "Don't you raise your voice!" "Now what?" "Just forget it." "Why didn't you say so earlier?" "Then I'd stop paying." "Why have I paid for a fruitless insurance all these years?" "It will be OK." "Go to sleep." "Come in." "Sir, can I talk to you for a second?" "Take a seat." "Sir, what I told you last time..." "You hardly qualify for a mortgage." "No, if you can evaluate the price a bit higher," "I can arrange for a higher loan with the bank." "It's not about evaluation." "Let me count this for you." "The flat has been estimated as $5.2 million, right?" "See?" "The seller asked for $6.5 million." "The bank would lend 70%." "$4.55 million." "The loan tenure is 30 years." "You'll have to pay $18,000 per month." "It's a huge sum for you." "How can you afford that?" "Yes I can afford it." "Besides, I've got 2 part-time iobs." "What part-time jobs are they?" "Do you get auto-paid every month?" "Nothing really counts except auto pay." "But that flat is really cheap." "Only $8,000 per square foot, with a sea view." "It's not the issue of price." "The issue is how you may afford it." "I don't get it." "Why are you obsessed with buying that flat across the street?" "You should buy a cheaper one." "That'll ease off your monthly financial burden." "Have a thought about it." "Why stress yourself too far?" "You got an awful lot..." "Excuse me." "Miss Cheng." "Sorry I'm late." "Again." "Not at all." "What would you drink?" "I am fine." "Have you brought all your papers?" "Yes I have." "Give them to me." "Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, alright." "I will fill the claim form for you." "Please, your signature here." "Right at this cross." "And I'll sign the witness part." "Alright, the paper work is done." "Excuse me, Richard." "When can I have that cheque?" "I'll go back to my office right away and work it out." "It takes about 10 working days." "I'll call you as soon as the cheque is ready." "That's great." "Thank you." "See you." "Nelson?" "It's me." "Miss Cheng." "You took me to see 8B in Victoria Bay that day." "Yes." "Would you ask the seller..." "what's his name?" "Mr and Mrs Tsang, yes." "Please tell them." "I can take it." "Yes..." "I can come to your office and drop you the initial deposit today." "Yes." "Right." "On 30th." "I'll come up to the law firm and pay the further deposit on the 30th." "Sis." "Are you hungry?" "No, I've had some food." "What is it?" "Look at this." "What year is this?" "1987?" "No. 1988." "Uncle John got married." "Was he?" "I've spotted a flat across the street." "I'll move over soon." "Do you have enough money?" "Sure." "I can handle that." "Open the door!" "I know someone is in there." "Open the door!" "Police!" "Open it!" "Your father's insurance benefit is ready." "Please check the name, the amount and the date." "If everything is alright, please sign here." "Here is the paper proving that you've lust received this 2 million cheque." "$2 million, as insurance benefit for your father's death." "He'll talk to us about the recent stock market." "Hello Martin, the Hangseng Index has rocketed to 31,638." "A new historical height." "Almost touching 32,000." "How would you predict it tomorrow?" "Excuse me, driver, how long will it take?" "The traffic is bad down here." "If we can move to that highway a bit later..." "About 20 minutes." "Alright." "Could you please turn down the radio a bit?" "Hello?" "Nelson, this is Miss Cheng." "I'm sorry." "I'm held up by the traffic." "I'll be there as soon as possible." "Please apologize to the seller for me." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Sorry I'm late." "Why are you so late?" "The owners have changed their mind." "What?" "Why?" "Please let me speak to them." "They ask for a higher price." "They'd rather double pay you back." "I don't want my deposit back." "I just want to buy that flat." "Why do you suddenly say so?" "They think it could be more than 500% higher than the current price." "Miss Cheng." "What?" "You can't do this to me!" "?" "Damn you." "I've paid the deposit." "You told me to come to sign the contract today." "What do you mean?" "They have decided to hold it." "They will double pay you back." "I don't want the money." "I want the flat." "Please calm yourself, Miss Cheng." "Shall we call the police?" "Listen to me." "Mr and Mrs Tsang." "Give me a minute." "Stay." "Don't stand in my way." "Please..." "I'm begging you..." "just give me one minute." "Sis..." "Sis..." "What's up?" "Are you OK?" "I'm fine..." "I'm now off to bed." "You too, don't be too late." "Police!" "Open the door." "I know there's someone in." "Open the door!" "Miss, what took you so long?" "Excuse me." "I was asleep." "I didn't hear you." "Someone's complained about noise here." "Can we have a look around?" "My fault." "I forgot to turn off the music." "You can sleep in that noise, can't you?" "I just fell asleep after taking a flu medication." "What happened to your face?" "Did someone hit you?" "No." "I just fell down." "I'm fine." "Thanks for your concern sir." "Did it hurt so much?" "Let's get in have a look." "No." "It's no big deal sir." "Look out." "Put down your knife." "Put down the knife." "Separate them." "Or I'll shoot you." "Don't move." "Just put down the knife." "Lay your hands on your head." "Put down the knife or I'll open fire." "Don't move." "Shit!" "What the hell!" "I'm driving, miss." "But listen." "Fuck you." "I don't want any damn thing now." "Don't call all the time." "Stop this harassment." "I say it for the last time." "I don't want nothing, honestly, thanks." "You're welcome, Mr. To." "We're offering low interest, really low." "And you don't start paying interest until you buy it." "Have you thought of investing your money properly?" "Or spending it on traveling?" "Fuck you." "Hello, Nelson." "Yes, Miss Cheng, I've spoken to the Tsangs." "Did you?" "What did they think?" "They agree with you." "The price can be cut a bit." "How much?" "We've talked about it." "They said HK$ 4.9 million." "What do you think?" "$4.9 million?" "Yes." "How do you like it?" "Have they read the latest 7-weekly?" "What?" "I haven't." "I lust bought a copy." ""A mass murder of 11, with one pregnant woman"." "11 dead bodies, 12 lives." "Could we just be honest, as we all want to make this deal?" "Yes and honestly, we've dealt this for a long time." "The Tsangs are nice people." "Otherwise I wouldn't be here, right?" "Right." "So how much are you prepared to cut down to?" "If you ask me," "I'd say HK$3.9 million." "Or just forget everything." "No deal." "What?" "3.9 million?" "That means..." "A difference of 1.3 million?" "Exactly." "A reduction of HK$1.3million." "That sounds unlikely." "Why don't you talk to them first?" "Will you think again?" "In fact all my friends think" "Even at 3.9 million" "I must be crazy to accept it." "I understand." "Let me try." "I'll talk to them." "OK?" "Good." "Talk to them." "Take your time." "I'm not hurried." "Yes." "I'll let you know." "I'll call them right away." "OK?" "Fine... talk to you later." "Thank you, Nelson." "Hello?" "Miss." "May I know if I am speaking to Jane Lau?" "How are you?" "I am calling from Jetway Bank" "You've been chosen as..." "Have you been here long time?" "Yes, very long." "It's Friday." "All hotels are full." "Get into the car." "Now." "Come on, what's the matter?" "We're through." "Asshole." "What?" "Hey!" "There's no vacant room." "Excuse me." "Miss Cheng." "What's the matter?"
