"I don't care, it's already 6:20 pm." "And Mr To needs to see all the wines... at the Shangri-La Ballroom by 8 pm, okay?" "You talk for me." "Shangri-La Ballroom, okay?" "No more Chinese national flags... in Hong Kong?" "Joy, you haven't eaten anything today." "Do you want to eat something?" "Yes." "Give me the stomache medicine." "You finished that already." "Forget it." "We only have an hour left." "You need to find me some flags, okay?" "I'd better find you more stomache medicine first," "Then find you some flags, okay?" "I won't die from a stomachache." "But if Mr To doesn't see the flags, he will have a heart attack." "Remember what I told you?" "Nothing is impossible." "Mr To." "Why aren't there any signs showing how to get to the Ballroom?" "We will put some out immediately." "Have we got enough national flags?" "They're out of stock already." "So, then?" "Joy has arranged it somehow." "This is the rundown for tonight." "When am I giving the speech?" "Right after the countdown." "Here's your draft." "Bong, tonight, I'm announcing a major decision." "God... they are coming..." "You see that?" "More and more people are coming." "Okay..." "Help me with this." " Make sure they look good." "Okay?" " Okay." "Be careful." "The paint isn't dry yet." "Have fun." "The Paint isn't dry yet." "Handmade flags." "Be careful." "The paint isn't dry yet." "12!" "A11!" "A10!" "A9!" "A8!" "A7!" "A6!" "K 5!" "A4!" "A3!" "A2!" "A1" " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Take it easy." " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "Today isn't just the handover of Hong Kong," "I have another important announcement." "In the next five years, our group will open... 20 hotels in mainland China." "I hope that we will be prosper... together with Hong Kong!" "Furthermore..." "I'd like to give a special thanks to our CEO," "Mr. To Lam." "He's done a great job for us!" "But sadly," "Mr To will be leaving us." "I wish him every success." "Now, may I invite our new CEO..." "Mr Ching Bit Chung to give us a speech." "He will be taking over from Mr To." "Thanks everyone." "I am very proud... to be part of the Lyndon Group." "I hope all of you here... will support me and our group as always." "In addition, I want to announce another major decision... from our Chairman, which is that Miss Joy Shing... will be promoted to be our new Chief Financial Officer." "I hope that Joy will support me... the same way she supported Mr To." "Congratulations..." "Let me introduce you." "Mr Ching Bit Chung, Miss Joy Shing." " How are you?" " Hi." "I really don't know what the Chairman is doing." "Actually, I knew this was going to happen long ago." "But I didn't know that he'd announce it tonight." "I didn't know that he'd promote me." "Don't worry." "Why would I be jealous of my smart wife?" "When I was a senior official in the government, the Chairman asked me tojoin the group... because I had a good relationship with British." "And that Mr Ching, right?" "When that mainland boy started he could barely get in the door of the Lyndon Group" "Let alone hope to replace me as CEO." "They said Hong Kong won't change for 50 years?" "After the handover, everything changed right away." "Don't be angry." "Angry?" "I am not angry." "In fact, I think it is funny." "That mainland boy was drinking Petrus, with Coke and herb tea..." "Don't you think it's funny?" "Are you okay?" "I've had a stomachache all day." "I'll drive you to see Fung." "You should learn to take care of yourself." "We're no longer neighbours." "Nobody's going to remind you to eat." "By the way, you look a little bit thinner." "Me?" "I am just so busy lately." "How about you." "Why don't you have a girlfriend?" "None of your business." "Joy." "Here's the compensation form from the developer." "I did my best... to get the best deal for you." "Your father only paid... a few hundred thousand for that apartment." "But I really pushed the developer, so they agreed to give us $5 million." "Come on." "Just sign here." "Thanks, Uncle Nine." "You're welcome." "We've known each other for so long." "How could I not help you?" "I don't understand why some people hate the handover." "Hong Kong has always been a Paradise." "After the handover, it's still a Paradise." "I told you not to become a doctor." "But you just ignored me." "Even if you do 100 operations, you still can't make $5 million." "I'd better go back to my room." "Maybe you should rest here." "To is waiting for me downstairs." "Thank you." "Miss Sung." "This is for you." "You again..." "Giving me these leftover flowers?" "Fine, I'll take them." "Thanks." "Hey, Lok." "You are awake?" "How come you're not sleeping?" "Are you missing mommy?" "Go to sleep now." "Mommy is here with you." "Honey, are you sleeping?" "Not yet." "How's your stomach?" "I'm fine after taking some medicine." "Honey, do you have to go to Singapore?" "I'm worried about you." "Don't worry." "I've always been able to make it through even the toughest times." "Plus I have so many friends in Singapore, I'll be fine there." "Maybe I'll just resign... and work as your assistant in Singapore." "I'm getting some money from my father's apartment soon." "Being Lyndon Group CFO is a great opportunity for you." "Just keep the money." "After I get things rolling in Singapore, I'll bring you and Lok there." "Have you forgotten what I taught you?" "Nothing is impossible." "Excuse me... excuse me..." "Hey cute girl, any recommedations?" "I want to raise the selling price for my parking space on The Peak." "Uncle Nine, you came at the right time." "I just reserved five apartments for you." "Only five?" "I want at least 10." " Ten?" " You don't have 10?" "I do!" "He's got some nerve." "There are all kinds of low people in this world." "That jerk cheated his neighbour." "The apartment was worth $10 million, he kept $5 million for himself, and bought 10 apartments." "I heard that this Joy he cheated... is actually the CFO of a big group." "How can a CFO be that stupid?" "I don't believe it!" "You haven't been to that restaurant?" "It's my treat." "Great abalone there." "Who's coming?" "I thought you... would bring your own team to the group." "My team is Lyndon's team, and that includes you." "I believe if I can't get your help... things will be more difficult." "I think we all wish to see all industries... continue to prosper after the handover, right?" "Right." "Are you meeting your husband for dinner?" "No." "He's already left for Singapore." "I heard that there's a wonderful restaurant nearby." "Can the new CEO treat his new CFO to dinner?" "You're so nice." "But I am on a diet." "On a diet?" "Seems like all women in HK are on one of those diet programs." "If you can lose 10 pounds by paying $100,000... what could you do with $5 million?" "Have dinner with me and I'll tell you a big secret." "Come in!" "Hello!" "Why are you here?" "Off duty tonight." "Take a seat." "The timing is great!" "Don't take off yourjacket." "I just turned on the air con." "I'm using a special chicken soup stock that's good for your health." "Why didn't you bring Lok with you?" "I miss him." "You can come by our place if you miss him." "I'll go get the beef." "I don't know why I'm always busy these days." "Uncle Nine, I have something to discuss with you after dinner." "I have something to tell you now." "$5 million." "It's yours." "Son, come here..." "Have you ever seen a $5 million check?" "I used to tell you... you can't earn that even if you do 100 operations." "As long as you make the money, we're okay." "As the saying goes, "Fathers earn money, sons enjoy it"." "It should be, "Cows plow the fields, horses eat the harvest"." "That's right." "Take it." "Try this mushroom." "Good for you." "I'll eat it." "You think I'm afraid to eat it." "Watch." "Have you ever tried raw beef?" "Raw beef isn't safe." "You won't try?" "You try then!" "Just eat your mushroom!" "This is To Lam." "Please leave a message." "Honey, it's me." "Nothing's wrong, I just want to see how you're doing?" "Also," "I miss your song "Joy to the World"." "And also..." "I really miss you." "I got the check today." "So don't worry about us." "Just work hard in Singapore, okay?" "And remember, don't mess around." "If you do, you'll be in big trouble." "I'm fine here, don't worry." "I'm just missing you." "Love you." "Bye-bye." "The well-known American investor Soros, has been making an assault on Thailand since the beginning of the year." "He's been attacking the Thai baht by engaging in massive short selling." "Today, Thailand's Treasury department and the Bank of Thailand announced... the Thai baht will now follow a floating exchange rate... and drop its long standing peg with the US dollar." "The Thai baht is obviously under attack." "It appears that Hong Kong is not a target, but Soros may not limit himself to Thailand." "Ching, what do you think?" "Hong Kong is now part of China" "So the speculators would have to risk provoking a giant." "The international financial market is like a dog fight." "Soros will not respect anybody." "We should be careful." "Be careful about what?" "I have been in this investing game for so many years." "If you don't trust me, ask your boss." "Joy is my old classmate and my best friend." "I listened to you and invested in your "magic" toothpaste, in the end, I lost all my money." "That was just bad luck!" "How about these detoxifying hula hoops?" "Forget them!" "Come on..." "How can we give up so easily?" "It's time for you to throw away those... low grade air fresheners at home." "It's time for this revolutionary... aroma oil." "This aroma oil is made from the flowers grown in Europe." "It suits you." "Try this one." "It's lavender... which helps you to sleep." "I have no problem sleeping." "My supporter is here." "Tung, make your boss a cup of tea." "Joy!" "You again?" "Why did you come by?" "No reason." "But recently I learned a kind of magic... which I'm going to show you." "Here's a coin, right?" "Now it's in my left hand." "But now it disappears." "Tung, where is the coin?" "Wrong." "Joy, in fact, the money you loaned me... appears to be lost... and your eyes can't see it." "But it's still there." "I assure you that it will become 10 times what it used to be." "Today," "I have a new idea for you." "This time, I don't want to borrow money." "I want you... to invest as my partner!" "Invest?" "Let's sit down first." "Tung, get me my checkbook." "You're really going to invest?" "Nothing is impossible, right?" "Tung..." "If me and Joy make it big in the end, just make sure you don't get jealous." "Jealous of you?" "What happened?" "This new housing policy is an open grave that many honest people will fall into." "Supposedly it will help everyone to own a flat." "But half of Hong Kong's people own property..." "If flat prices crash because of oversupply from the new policy..." "You're right, if flat prices crash..." "Combined with the attacks on Southeast Asian currencies..." "Hong Kong be headed for grave danger economically." "Then what should we do?" "Let's gather the relevant departments for an urgent meeting." "Okay." "Right." "Do you own any expensive apartments?" "If so, sell them now." "No." "Hong Kong Hospital." "Hold on please." "Dr Yim, your father is on the phone." "Thank you." "Dad, what's up?" "Okay, I will talk to Joy." "There shouldn't be any problem." "I will try to see her tonight." "I have to go now." "Bye." "Thank you." "Uncle Nine asked you to talk to me?" "Yes." "You know that I keep hoping we can be neighbors again." "Did he tell you how many apartments he bought?" "He says he bought one for us." "And asked the agent to reserve one for you." "Maybe you should just buy that." "I'm not going to buy anything." "It's not a good time to buy a flat." "Why not?" "Don't you want to live close to us?" "Those are two different things." "I don't want to talk anymore." "Come on..." "Don't get mad." "Let me buy you a Tamagotchi." "A what?" "Tamagotchi." "Let me show you." "It's an egg when you first start." "Then it hatches a little chick." "He'll say "beep beep"... to show he is hungry." "Then you should feed him." "Why should I feed him?" "Because he's hungry." "You can feed him cake or a hamburger." "But don't feed him too much, or he'll get fat." "Also, what will happen after he eats?" "What happens next?" "What happens after you eat?" "He takes a dump." "You have to clean up his droppings." "Got it?" "He knows how to take a dump?" "Of course." "You know how too, right?" "I don't believe it." "Where does he do it?" "Why're you taking photos?" "You seldom laugh so happily." "I need to get this shot." "One more." "No way." " No way." " Why not?" "I'm not laughing." "Come on, laugh." "I won't!" "Hi Mrs Lee, have you had your lunch yet?" "Mrs To." "Mrs Lee, what's wrong?" "I'm fine." "Mrs Lee, tell me what's wrong." "Mrs To, I wanted to get a second mortgage... so I could pay for my son to finish his MBA." "Right, I approved that." "But yesterday they told me that..." "Mr Ching turned it down because flat prices are falling." "Mrs To, please tell me... how am I going to pay my son's tuition?" "I only have this one son." "Even if I have to sleep under a bridge, I still have to support him." "Mr Ching, do you know about the tea lady's situation?" "Why did you turn down her loan application?" "I am not sure about the details, but it's better for both our employees and the company not to grant any further loans." "If the flat prices keep declining... it would increase both their debt burden, and our risk." "We can't afford any risks nowadays." "But we have our company rules." "You asked me to take charge of the personnel department." "I really hope that you let me do my job." "If necessary, I can guarantee her loan." "Let's forget about company policy for a minute." "I'm just wondering... why are you arguing with your boss... for the sake of a tea lady?" "It's very simple." "It's the same reason you asked me to stay with the company." "Human resources is a kind of wealth." "Even in the case of a tea lady." "Otherwise, why would anyone keep working so hard for us?" "Joy." "I was about to look for you." "You're right." "You indeed have the right to approve loan applications." "That's big of you." "I was too emotional this afternoon." "I think it is good to be your subordinate." "But to be your boss... you have to be both smart... and alert." "You have a sense of humor." "See you tomorrow." " Bye." " Bye." "In Hong Kong, the Hang Sang Index hit a record low, closing at 6600, down from the previous day and the lowest mark since April 1993." "Several blue property companies hit record lows..." "HSBC dropped 7 dollars to 149.5... as foreign securities houses liquidated inventory." "Chow Ming." "You know I put all my money in the Hong Kong stock market." "What are you hearing at your brokerage?" "I'm coming back to Hong Kong now." "Chairman, the international speculators... are gaining profits by short selling." "The new government has entered the market, we should also buy stocks." "Why do you have such confidence in the new government?" "Some Koreans have been donating their savings to help their country," "why can't we do the same?" "The new Hong Kong SAR government is our own government." "If we want Hong Kong to be prosperous, we should support it." "With government support, the stock market will be fine." "That may sound good, but it's just a dangerous trap." "Where is Chow Ming?" "He is in the washroom." "Please wait a moment." "You just don't have the full picture." "I've talked to the other brokerages." "And no one thinks the Hong Kong government can win this battle." "Hedge funds are piling in now, and the local guys are selling when the government buys." "There are too many sellers, and the government can't buy from all of them before running out of reserves." "This intervention will mess up the market for a long time." "It's going to be impossible for local stocks to go up." "Chow Ming." "To, you're here?" "Sell all my stocks, plus I want to place a big short sell order." "Sell short?" "The government's already entered the market." "Hong Kong stocks will be fine." "Sell short." " You sure?" " Yes." "Sell short?" "Thank you." "If you can finish the proposal by tomorrow," "I will treat you to dinner." " Great." " Good night." "Darling!" "Why didn't you tell me that you're coming home?" "I missed only a few mortgage payments, how can you take me to court like a common deadbeat?" "I'm no deadbeat." "Please give a break." "Joy, come in." "Uncle, why did you call me so anxiously?" "This is a Christmas present for Lok." "Just tell me what's wrong." "You know..." "I treat you as my own daughter." "Did something go wrong with your speculating?" "No wonder I treat you as my own daughter." "You can see right through me." "You have to help me." "Uncle, I won't lend you any money." "Let me make that clear." "No." "Joy, you must help me." "I'm at my wits' end." "Even if I give up those apartments, I'm still deep in debt." "They want to force me into bankruptcy." "Think of our friendship." "Haven't I?" "If I haven't," "I wouldn't have let you cheat me out of $5 million without saying anything." "You knew about that?" "Of course." "Tell me, how many flats do you have?" "10 10?" "You have 10 flats!" "Do you know what a burden you are putting on Fung?" "Joy, you must help me." "Even if I'm willing to die, I still can't solve this problem." "Your parents and I..." "Stop talking like that." "How can you be so mean to me?" "So heartless even to your old friends." "You have no feelings, letting me die and just watching!" "You deserve to die!" "Yet another suicide by burning charcoal?" "Flat prices keep declining." "More people facing bankruptcy." "What choice is there but to burn charcoal?" "Hello, Julia." "Hello, Lok Lok!" "Give me a hug." "Bye." "Bye, Julia." "Let's go and buy Christmas presents." "Let's go." "Look." "Lots of them." "What is this?" "This way..." "Look..." "Cats..." "Fung, I have to go now." "I'm facing a lot of problems that I just can't solve." "I will apologize to your mom in the afterlife." "I hope she will forgive me." "Joy..." "Your last words were so right." "I have nothing else to ask of you." "But please take good care of Fung." "You are like brother and sister." "I have to go now." "Fung." "What did you tell my Dad?" "Nothing." "I didn't say anything." "Nothing?" "In his suicide note, my father said "your words were so right"." "He said he's leaving." "What did you say?" "Fung, it's not like that." "Tell me!" "What did you say?" "What were the last words you told him!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Yes, I said..." "I said..." ""You deserve to die."" "But..." "Fung..." "Joy, you killed my dad... with those words." "I tell you..." "I will never forgive you for my entire life." "Never..." "Why didn't you tell him about how Uncle Nine cheated you?" "I'd rather that he misunderstand me... than that he knows his father is a crook." "HONG KONG PROPERTY SALES INDEX" "BANKRUPTCY FILINGS RISE" "To, our bank has no choice in this situation." "Bad debts have increased a lot this year." "When a borrower can't repay his loan, we have to take legal action." "Or else we won't be able to face our shareholders." "We've had such a long relationship..." "Can't you help me out here?" "Rescheduling isn't a good idea." "Short term pain is better than long term suffering." "What's that mean?" "It's not a big deal to petition for bankruptcy." "You'll be fine after a few years." "Isn't there any other way?" "No, unless..." "Your wife is willing to give you a guarantee." "Honey..." "Honey..." "Thanks for coming to see me." "If you didn't come, I wouldn't have known about my husband's debt." "Mr To is really lucky to have a wife like you." "Also, about me guaranteeing his loan" "Please don't tell him," "I don't want to hurt his feelings." "Mr To, good morning!" "How come the Chairman isn't with you?" "He left Hong Kong and asked me to represent him." "I heard that you have something urgent to discuss." "Yes, I'm strapped for cash." "I wonder if the Chairman can help." "To be honest, Chairman is in a worse situation." "He owes much more money then you do." "In fact, he still hasn't figured out what to do." "Maybe you should try another way." "How many strokes are you going to spot me today?" "Hello." "Finished playing already?" "Yes, I have to get back for a meeting." "Your CFO is such a superwoman." "You know Joy?" "Of course." "She's nice, and really capable too." "She saved To from defaulting by providing a guarantee and asked me not to tell him, to protect his pride." "Do you mind telling me how much To owes?" "Don't tell anybody." "$30 million." "She's unlucky to have such a loser husband." "I'm going to shower." " OK." "Bye." " Bye." "Buddy." "Have you ever seen a guy with negative equity?" "I have negative equity, I owe $30 million." "Can you lend me two hundred?" " You don't have it?" " Crazy!" "Haven't got 200 bucks?" "Cutie!" "Negative equity... 200... 200 bucks..." "I have twenty bucks only." "Honey, where are you?" "Darling... you won't believe this." "Someone gave me 20 bucks in the subway." "It is such a treasure for me to have you as my wife."

"Why did he give you a watch?" "Because I let him copy my homework." "So you took his watch?" "Did you tell your teacher?" "Lok, you know this is a very bad thing to do." "It's called bribery." "You don't deserve to be the class monitor." "Return the watch tomorrow." "No, I love this watch!" "You can't keep it!" "Put that down now!" "No, I love this watch." "Put that down, now!"

"You don't have to take care of me." "You go take care of the show." "I'm fine." "I heard that your husband died." "You must feel lonely" "This is my card." "If you are bored sometime, we can shop together." "I can pick out some clothes for you." "Or we can have dinner, and..." "Excuse me." "I'm going up front to support your girlfriend!"

"This is for you." "For me?" "And this one is for my other friend." "Why am I giving you this gift?" "Because I am congratulating you... you're about to become a rich woman." "What?" "I'm going to open a chain of hot pot restaurants... on the mainland." "And, I will also be representing the healthiest drink in China." "I have the whole plan worked out." "I just need you to provide the money." "Did you ask me here to shop for handbags... or to pitch me an investment?" "Yes, I know I owe you quite a lot of money." "But now, time is in my favor." "We can make a lot of money this time!" "Do you understand?" "Making money is possible." "Believe me." "Choose anyone and I'll buy it for you." "LV!" "AGucci!" "AHermes" "Look." "It's so pretty." "Ferragamo!" "I" "They're the latest items." "You're really going to make a lot of money this time." "How can you find so many suckers?" "Not that many." "Only ten." "80000" "Your handbags are the very latest items." "How are you able to find the right fakes?" "None of your business." "Joy, this is nice." "Just little stain here but the price is much lower." "I will buy this for my friend." "Department of Health has confirmed that... 10 frontline medical workers at Prince of Wales Hospital... were infected with a new, potentially fatal disease called atypical pneumonia, with symptoms similar to the pneumonia that's broken out in the mainland and Vietnam." "What?" "We demand our rights!" "We demand justice!" "..." "Everyone, please calm down." "I'm Joy Shing, the CFO and the head of the Personnel Department." "Please send your representatives." "Mr Yeung, what are the grievances of the workers?" "Miss Shing, you're cutting our salaries by 25% , and laying off 20 laborers." "This is not fair." "Mr Yeung, since 1997, Hong Kong has suffered from many economic setbacks and now SARS has hit us." "It's not just our group that's suffering, but all of Hong Kong." "We have had losses for five years and our stock has tumbled." "Don't you understand that?" "That's not our business." "We have to support our families, we have to eat and pay rent." "I understand." "I, as CFO, can give you two choices." "You can take 6 months salary and then be made redundant." "Or we can all take a salary cut together." "The economy should recover after two years." "What if the pay cuts put families in danger?" "I don't think so." "As long we all stay together, soon enough, we'll get through the hard times." "The senior executives will take a 25% pay cut too?" "I can... guarantee that." "Calm down." "Calm down." "Please be seated." "I have something to consult with you on." "Tung, order breakfast for them." "Order plenty, because there are a lot of people down there." "I quit!" "Quit?" "Why?" "Personal reasons." "I don't have time to deal with your problems." "Sorry." "I quit!" "Wait!" "What happened?" "I know what you did with Kenny." "What I did with Kenny?" "Joy, I know that after Mr To's death you must feel sad and lonely." "But you shouldn't have tried to steal my boyfriend!" "Do you know what you're talking about?" "How can you trust Kenny and not me?" "Wait!" "Tung, you check it out for yourself." "If those "Gucci" and "Prada" handbags" "Kenny bought you aren't fakes," "I'll accept your resignation!" "You're crazy!" "How can they treat us like that?" "No way!" "Calm down." "Listen." "An across-the-board wage cut is the only way, you all know the economic situation nowadays, plus now SARS has hit Hong Kong." "Why aren't you in England?" "Why did you come back?" "There is SARS in Hong Kong." "I was worried about you." "I'm fine." "I know you're fine." "If anything happened to you, what would I do?" "I have some good news." "It looks like the strikers left the premises." "It seems like they are willing to compromise." "Really?" "That's great!" "Julia, where is Lok?" "Where is Lok?" "Nurse, I'm Lok's mother." "Where is my son?" "He is in the isolation ward." "I want my Mommy..." "Lok!" "Lok!" "Lok!" "Mommy is here!" "I want my Mommy..." "Mommy is here!" "Nurse, let me go in!" " No." " I have to see him!" " No, this is the isolation ward." " Let me in..." "The doctor is here." "Doctor, please let me go in to see my son." "Fung, why are you here?" "I've been studying in England the last few years." "When I came back, I started working in this hospital." "Lok is in the isolation ward." "Please let me go in." "I need to see him." "Please." "I beg you." "Lok." "Mommy is here." "Don't cry." "Mommy is here..." "I'm here with you." "Don't cry." "Don't cry..." "Mommy is here with you." "Don't cry." "Do you want to play with Mommy?" "Let's play, okay?" "Where is Mommy?" "Cheer up... don't cry." "Good boy." "Don't cry." "Where is Mommy?" "Who are you?" "Who am I?" "I am the nobodies you big shots sacrifice in order to get promoted." "Listen!" "Listen carefully." "I don't gain anything from your dismissal." "I do sympathize with you." "But, you should review your own lax working attitude." "Review myself?" "!" "Review myself!" "What do you want?" "How dare you hit me?" "I'm not afraid to hit you!" "Bitch!" "All you senior executives" " are so willing to sacrifice us workers." " What're you doing?" "Stop!" " None of your business!" " Stop!" "Stop!" "Does it hurt?" "You said it doesn't hurt?" "You know something?" "when I saw him attacking you..." "I was so worried." "Remember, you are so important to all of us, we rely on you" "so please take care of yourself, please promise me." "I am so useless... so useless..." "How can you say I'm important when I'm so useless?" "Okay..." "Don't cry now." "Okay, you are useless." "Have you ever thought that... you might need somebody yourself?" "Tung." "For you." "So you broke up with your boyfriend?" "What do you mean, broke up?" "What do you mean?" "Sorry." "I saw him with another woman." "That's why I thought you had broken up with him." "He is a stylist!" "He ought to be around women." "Or do you think he should be with you?" "Why are you badmouthing him?" "Tell me!" "What?" "Nothing to say?" "I didn't!" "K" "Didn't!" "I know that you're just jealous of him." "You see how strong he is and you feel inferior, don't you?" " I didn't..." " Didn't..." "Don't give me flowers behind your boss's back." "If he caught you, you'd be in big trouble!" "Crazy!" "A tragedy occurred in Tin Shui Wai today." "A 49 year old man was laid off and shortly afterwards his wife abandoned him and their 2-year old son." "To support himself, Keung turned to robbery and was arrested." "He was released on bail, but apparently despairing of the future he leapt to his death together with his son." "NCTV reports from the scene." "The zipper of this handbag is broken." "Please fix it for me." "Sorry, miss, I can't help you." "Why not?" "My boyfriend bought the bag here." "Miss, this bag is a fake." "Of course it's not." "Miss, it is." "Furthermore, your clothes..." "look a bit different from ours." "It's probably fake too." "Sorry, I can't help you." "I... guess I can't help myself either." "Thank you." "Darling!" "This is the most fashionable color this year." "Try it." "Bought me another handbag, huh?" "Very pretty." "Where did you buy it?" "It is made in France." "The Kenny brand, right?" "You can stop cheating me now!" "Everything you bought for me are fakes!" "Fakes?" "You think I would buy you fakes?" "How can you not trust me?" "I did trust you, that's how you managed to cheat me." "Why?" "Fine, if that's what you think..." "Let's break up." "But you owe me alimony." "Alimony?" "I invested a lot of time hanging out with you." "And I have turned you from an ugly duckling... into a swan." "Don't you think I put in a lot effort?" "You do what you have to do." "But don't get me angry." "You too." "Don't make us get mad." "Joy." "You sell my friend fakes and now you threaten her." "What are you talking about?" "Security, call the police." "It's OK." "Just let him go." "I'm letting you go only because Tung wants me to." "But I warn you..." "This is a private property... if you come here again, I will call the police!" "Security, take him out!" "Silly girl." "Joy." "I'm sorry." "This suicide of Keung, the media will just not let the matter drop." "The Chairman intends..." "to sacrifice one person... in order to save the whole company." "Whoever signed the approval letter should be responsible." "Remember you and I left for England on that day?" "Ching, what's the meaning of this?" "You tell me I'm fired because I improperly dismissed Keung?" "But you're the one who dismissed him!" "How can you fire me like that?" "Joy, calm down." "How can I calm down!" "We both signed the document." "Just take it out to show that I am innocent." "It's no use." "The Chairman intends to... sacrifice one of us... so that the company can leave this matter behind." "So you're using me as a scapegoat?" "You know..." "It wasn't easy to get to my position." "I get it." "Joy..." " If you have any problems, you can..." " No way." "Just pretend nothing ever happened between us." "Joy!" "Tung." "I know you've always wanted this gold Ferragamo handbag." "So I bought it for you." "The real one." "Your birthday is coming next week." "Happy birthday!" "Thank you." "Thank you, Joy." "Silly girl." " Joy..." " Silly girl." "I will miss you." "Crazy!" "He's saying my son has died." "Crazy!" "Crazy..." "My son has died?" "You're crazy..." "My son has died..." "Mrs To, Dr. Fung asked me to give you this." "My deepest condolences." "Let me take you home." "HERE LIES TO LAM LOK" "Lok." "I'm so sorry I wasn't with you when you died." "I really want to hug you." "I miss you, Lok." "Joy, I have always driven myself for the sake of others." "I worked hard for my father." "And I did my best for my patients in the hospital." "Now that my life... is at its last moments..." "I think that I should finally do something for myself." "I began to like you... when I was young." "Then when I grew up a little bit..." "I realized that it wasn't just "like"," "I was in love with you." "Please believe that I did my very best to save Lok" "I don't mind that I sacrificed myself in trying" "I think my time is running out now." "I just want to tell you:" "I no longer hate you." "Come on." "Up up, down down, left left, right right front front, back back, the train is going into the tunnel." "You lose." "Eat French fries." "Mommy'll eat some too." "Daddy will eat it too." "Come on, give your dad a kiss." "Kiss..." "It hurts?" "Daddy's moustache is too rough!" "Mom bought you a toy." "You are home!" "Why didn't you pick up my call?" "I wanted to tell you... you've made a lot money!" "Remember you gave me money to open the hot pot restaurants?" "We made a profit!" "But I couldn't find you." "So I used the money to invest in an herb tea called Wong Lo Gut." "I made a profit again." "But I still couldn't find you." "So then I used the money to invest in masks." "Who knew SARS would come... and now we have made a huge profit!" "What are you talking about?" "Your investment has grown over 30 times." "30 times?" "You can't believe it?" "It's you who are always telling me..." "Nothing is impossible." "I quit!" "Why?" "Because of Joy?" "Have you heard from her?" "Yes." "But I'm not going to tell you anything." "Mr Chan, Miss Sung." "Thank you." "Thank you." "This is my resume." "I know it is not very relevant, but..." "I reached grade 8 in piano." "Miss Sung," "You have a great resume." "But I'm afraid you are overqualified." "Next." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Sorry, we don't have any office jobs available right now." "But if you want, you can be one of our promotion girls in a bar." "That kind of lowjob..." "I would never do." "Thanks for ordering Scotch." "Would you like some Scotch?" " Fine." " Hurry up." "Thanks for your order." "Come on." "This is my friend's place." "Nice place." "Of course." "What do you want to drink?" "Whatever." "Miss Sung!" "Hi!" "Long time no see." "You work here?" "Tonight, yes." "Right, what are you selling?" "Scotch." "We'll take a bottle." "A bottle?" "Let me introduce you." "Bobo, this is Miss Sung." "Hi!" "Hi!" "Bobo." "I will get the bottle for you." "Thanks." "Why did you order a bottle?" "You can't even drink." "But you love it." "Is that you, Tung?" "Come on." "Come over here." "Please lower your voice." "This is a public place." "When did you become a Scotch promoter?" "Sir, would you like to order a drink?" "If not, I have to go now." "Stay and drink with my friend." "I am a Scotch promoter, not a public relations girl." "Cutie, come over and drink..." "See if you've lost anything." "Don't move!" "You guys are so cheap!" "Don't move!" "We've had sex before." "I guess that makes you cheap too?" "Who do you think you are?" "Bitch!" "How dare you hit me?" "I'll kill you!" "Stop!" "This is none of your business!" "Let him go!" "Stop messing around in here!" "I've got a business here!" "Get out or I'll call the police!" " Go!" " You'd better not run into me again." "Are you okay?" "You fought pretty badly." "Why don't you go home first?" "Okay." "See you later." "Sorry." "Are you hurt?" "Sorry." "It's fine." "I know you tried your best." "But I did punch him hard... one time at least." "Did you see that..." "I grabbed his head and kept shaking it..." "Sorry." "You know..." "You've never visited our flower shop in all these years." "Would you like to come in for a while?" "Okay." "Boss." "Don't call me "Boss"." "Big Yu is the new Boss here." "He bought the flower shop from me." "You know, he is a very honest person." "He paid for all the flowers he gave you... and wouldn't accept a discount." "I'm going now." "You just..." "Enjoy yourselves." "Big Yu." "I'm sorry." "Can I call you Big Yu?" "Of course." "I wasn't very nice before." "Miss Sung, that's in the past." "Then don't call me Miss Sung." "Just call me Tung." "Tung." "You used to give me red roses, remember?" "But actually, I don't like them." "Then..." "I like yellow roses." "Yellow." "Be careful." "For you." "You're such a silly boy!" "It's dangerous to climb." "You told me to sleep at your place." "But I did not bring your house keys." "It's late now." "I have to go home." "Goodnight." "Bye." " Bye." " Bye." "Stop counting the money." "Can you explain this bill to me." "How can you screw up such a simple task?" "Of course not." "Look." "Right." "The lily last month and this month..." "Tung!" "Hi, remember me?" "I'm Bobo, Big Yu's cousin." "I just graduated in Canada." "My cousin is such a nice guy, he paid for my studies." "Don't bother Tung." "She needs to go home now." "He's a little bit boring, but he's really a nice guy." "Plus, he likes you very much." "Just give him a chance." "Stop making trouble." "His face is turning red." "Bye." " Bye." " Bye." "You really do love her." "Shut up!" "Go back to work!" " Why didn't you tell her?" " Shut your mouth." " I'll smack you." " Why didn't you let her know?" "I know you love making trouble." "Get inside!" "Momo." "What business are you doing now?" "Can I join you?" "Have you forgotten what I told you?" "I said if Joy and I make a big profit one day, just make sure you don't get jealous of us." "Ignore her." "Tung." "We are starting a new business." "Come join us!" "Miss Joy, sit down please." "Hello." "It's been a long time." "Yes." "The economy is so bad now," "But you're still opening a shop?" "Yes, I think it's doable." "I plan to introduce new brands." "I have a lot of confidence in Hong Kong." "I have a shop in Causeway Bay." "It's nice, take a look." "It's really nice." "But the rent is $150 thousand per month..." "I don't think we can afford that much." "I know the landlord." "I can ask him to waive the rent for the first 3 months." "Miss Shing, our bank will definitely support a trustworthy client like you." "What business do you want to start?" "I want to do massage products." "I think Hong Kong is a big potential market." "Have you ever heard of OSIM?" "They are our clients." "It happens that they are looking for an agent in Hong Kong." "If you are interested, I can introduce you." "Miss Shing, how do you plan to position Osim massage chairs in your region?" "What would be your unique selling points as a franchise?" "Hong Kong people are under so much pressure," "We used to sing karaoke or drink to relax ourselves." "Our selling point is... that if you have a comfortable massage chair at home, then your apartment will be the most comfortable place for you." "Also, Hong Kong people want to keep fit." "So it would be great if there were a machine... that you can just sit on... that helps you keep fit." "Also, with the couples massage stick... couples can take turns, I do you, then you do me..." "It feels so nice." "Thank you." "The CEO didn't seem to have any reaction to us." "Is it possible that he doesn't like our proposal?" "It's your fault." "How can you make the presentation in such a funny way?" "Funny?" "We were serious." "I wasn't being funny." "Whatever." "Okay, let's vote now." "William, what is your vote?" "As CEO," "Normally I would have the deciding vote, but I think I have a conflict of interest." "That's why I decided to give up my vote." "We have the result." "Let me invite our CEO Mr William Lee to announce it for us." "I am pleased to announce that the franchise goes to..." "Joy Joy Limited!" " Thank you!" " Congratulations!" "Thank you, William!" "Don't thank me." "I didn't vote for you." "Since I know you, I couldn't vote." "You know me?" "Look." "Mrs Lee?" "You're Mrs Lee's son!" "Do we look alike?" "Regardless, I'm really grateful to you, William." "My mother and I are grateful to you." "Come on, let's take a photo." "Come on, take a photo." "1!" "A2!" "A3!"
