"I thought it would improve my luck." "What would $2 buy you?" "she gives me credit." "You can have it on credit?" "I left my ID card and said I'd be back to redeem it." "I thought a few dollars would be easy to rustle up." "But so far nothing I'm way overdue." "So?" "Four Eyes was there yesterday." "Saw her waving my ID around in front of everyone." "So embarrassing!" "lend me $30!" "This is all I can spare." "I need $1 0 for myself." "Pay you back next month." " Let's have a late snack." " What?" "All I've had today is some won-ton noodles." "Let me finish writing this first." "I'm not sure I should tell you this..." "What?" "I saw your wife in the street yesterday." "So what?" "She was with some guy." "Probably a friend." "Just thought you should know." "Miss Yu?" "This is me." "Mr. Ho's still in a meeting." "He says he can't manage dinner." "we're very busy now." "I will." "I'll ask Mr. Ho to call." "I have." "What did she say?" "Asks you to call her later." "And Mrs. Ho says she's ready to cut her birthday cake." "She wants you to hurry home." "this." " What is it?" " A scarf." " I think Mrs. Ho will like it." " Thank you." "And here's your change." "use it for bus fare." "Why don't you dine with us tonight?" "I've already planned to see a film tonight." "Then I won't keep you." "take the morning off." "Are you going out tonight?" "Don't forget your keys." "All the neighbors are dining out tonight." "I'll be late." "Mrs. Chan? I thought Mr. and Mrs. Koo were back." "anything I can help with?" "I just wanted a chat." "I am." "You're back early today!" "I came back to rest." "I'm not feeling well..." "What is it?" "I have some medicines..." "I'll sleep it off." "I'll leave you in peace." "It was your wife." "Have you spoken to your wife yet?" "Then we shouldn't meet any more." "Any news from the Philippines?" "a telex." "so the ship's still docked." "Please inform Chan that the shipment may be delayed." "Ask if that's a problem." "Your wife rang." "You don't need to pick her up." "She's playing mahjong with Mrs. Lau." "She'll meet you at the restaurant at 5.30." "And there's a gift from Miss Yu." "She was here?" "she had it sent over." "She says she'll dine alone since it's your birthday." "Please phone her when you have a moment." " I'll get you another coffee." " Thank you." "Thank you." "That tie looks good on you." "You noticed?" "It's much like the old one." "You notice things if you pay attention." "I'll be off now." "let me know at the restaurant." "I will." "Why did you change your tie?" "The new one was too showy." "I should stick with my own." "Don't forget to lock up." "haven't seen your husband lately." "on company business." "That's why I see you at the noodle stall." "I don't like cooking for myself." "Haven't seen your wife lately either." "she's at home with her." "That explains it." "Good night!" "Good night!" "I'm glad you're back!" "It's raining so hard!" "I was going to look for you with an umbrella." "You're too kind." "who is it?" " It's Mrs. Chan." " Mrs. Suen!" "Caught in the rain?" "I said you could eat with us!" "Next time..." "Enjoy your game." "Her husband's always away." "It's sad to see her so lonely." "She dresses up like that to go out for noodles?" "Mr. Chow!" "What are you doing here?" "Just calling Mrs. Koo to the phone." "You're late back." "I went to the pictures." "I'll be going." "Hello?" "please hold on." " Who is it?" " It's for Mrs. Chan." "but I want to ask something." "That handbag I saw you with this evening..." "Where did you buy it?" "Why do you ask?" "It looked so elegant." "I want to get one for my wife." "you're so good to your wife!" "Not really!" "My wife is so fussy." "Her birthday is some days away." "I don't know what to get her." "Could you buy one for me to give her?" "Maybe she wouldn't want one just exactly the same." "I didn't think of that." "A woman would mind." "especially since we're neighbors." "Do they come in other colors?" "I'd have to ask my husband." "Why?" "He bought it for me on a business trip abroad." "They aren't on sale here." "Then never mind." "Actually..." "I want to ask you something too." "What?" "Where did you buy your tie?" "I don't know where it came from." "My wife buys all my ties." "Really?" "She bought this one on a business trip abroad." "It's not on sale here." "What a coincidence!" "Yes." "Actually..." "My husband has one just like it." "He said it was a gift from his boss." "So he wears it every day." "And my wife has a bag just like yours." "I've seen it." "actually?" "I thought I was the only one who knew." "I wonder how it began..." "It's late..." "won't your wife complain?" "she doesn't care." "And your husband?" "He must be asleep by now." "Shall we stay out tonight?" "My husband would never say that." "What would he say?" "he wouldn't say that." "Someone must have made the first move." "Who else could it be?" "It's late..." "won't your wife complain?" "she doesn't care." "And your husband?" "He must be asleep by now." "I can't say it." "I understand." "it's already happened." "It doesn't matter who made the first move." "Do you really know your wife?" " You order for me." " Why?" "I've no idea what your wife likes." "What about your husband?" "Like it hot?" "Your wife likes hot dishes." "Why did you call me at the office today?" "I had nothing to do." "I wanted to hear your voice." "You have my husband down pat." "He's a real sweet-talker." "Why didn't you call me today?" "I was afraid you won't like it." "Then don't call me again." "Mrs. Chan!" "A letter from your husband." "it's for Mr. Chow next door." "The Japanese stamp made me think it was your husband." "So I was wrong." "Your wife's in Japan?" "How did you know?" "What did she say in her letter?" "Nothing special." "Anything about when she'd be back?" "No." "What do you think they're doing right now?" " Are you alright?" " I'm fine." "Please pull up here!" "Why?" "I'll get off first." "let me." " Mrs. Chan!" " Ah Ping!" "You're back?" "Visiting Mr. Chow?" "I thought we'd have lunch." "But he isn't well." " What's wrong with him?" " He's got a fever." "He's all alone." "So I'm gonna buy him something to eat." "The congee downstairs is quite good." "He doesn't want congee." "What does he want?" "so he wants sesame syrup." "Damned troublesome!" "Amah!" "she's hanging the washing on the roof." "you're back." " Yes." "You've been out?" "My mother's birthday is coming up." "So I took her to buy some fabric." "I'm half dead!" "And I had my hair done..." "Is it nice?" "Very nice!" "What are you cooking?" "I had a sudden craving for sesame syrup." "That whole pot is for you?" "I thought I might as well make a potfull." "You're so thoughtful!" " Please try it." " I will." "What a coincidence!" "Going out?" "I'm starving." "Hungry?" "Will you join me?" "No thanks." "Just off work?" "You must be very busy." "I've been to see a picture." "Really?" "How was it?" "So-so." "I used to like going to the pictures." "You had many hobbies before." "you are free to do lots of things." "Everything changes when you marry." "It must be decided together..." "Right?" "I sometimes wonder what I'd be if I hadn't married." "Have you ever thought of that?" "Maybe happier!" "I didn't know married life would be so complicated! you are only responsible to yourself. doing well on your own is not enough." "maybe he'll be back soon." "What about you?" "we're in the same boat." "But I don't brood on it." "It's not my fault." "I can't waste time wondering if I made mistakes." "Life's too short for that." "Something must change." "So what's your plan?" "I want to write a martial-arts serial." "I've started one." "I'll show it to you." "Great!" "so why not help me write it?" "I only read them!" "We could discuss it together." "I'll try my best." "I never thanked you for the sesame syrup." "I was making it anyway." "Amazing!" "I was craving for some sesame syrup that day." "Really?" "What a coincidence!" "It really was!" "I'll go for those noodles." "he's drunk!" "Disgusting!" "I told you to stop!" "What can you do?" "It's me!" "You scared me." "How's Mr. Koo?" "as usual." "I didn't expect them back so early!" "finish the noodles." "They'll probably go soon." "Want some soup?" "Want some soup?" "Mrs. Suen!" "Playing here tonight!" "Mrs. Koo is dealing with her husband." "I could do that." "we should not trouble you." "Think you'll play all night?" "we'll just play eight rounds." "They'll play till morning?" "Mrs. Suen says only eight rounds." "You believe that?" "I'll wake you when they leave." "And you?" "I have a chapter to finish." "Where have you got to?" "The drunken master just showed up." "When did he get written in?" "Just now!" "home so early?" " I went out to buy some food." " No work today?" "I'm staying home." "A sick man shouldn't eat all that sticky rice." "Some of it is for later." "Don't stuff yourself!" "Good morning!" "finished your game?" "but Mr. Yang has to work." "Mr. Tsai is coming to replace him." "Did you call the office for me?" "Yes." "What did you tell them?" "That you weren't feeling well." "Did they ask who you were?" "No." "Probably took me for your husband." "Mr. Ho knows that he's away." "Pretend he's come back." "Maybe we're being too cautious?" "I'm always round anyway." "We shouldn't have panicked." "they did turn up without warning." "What would they assume?" "One can't put a foot wrong." "You can go!" " Amah!" " Mrs. Chan!" "You're back very late!" "I had a lot of work today." "I didn't see you leave this morning." "I had breakfast with my mother." "You weren't here when I left." "Where's Mrs. Suen?" "she played mahjong all day." "don't wake her." " Alright!" "is your leg alright?" "It's these new shoes." "Why a special dinner tonight?" "Since you won't take your share of the writing fee..." "All I did was give you some thoughts." "Someone else is asking for a serial too." "There'll be more work soon." "Really?" "So quickly?" "isn't the workload too much?" "That's why I'm looking for a new place." "What for?" "To write in!" "It'll be more convenient." "but I don't want gossip." "What do you think?" "Why waste money?" "you can write on your own." "Who do you want?" "Chow Mo-Wan?" "He hasn't been in for several days." "We're looking for him too." "May I know who's calling?" "Any message?" "goodbye." "Please get this to Accounts." "And have the air-conditioner serviced tomorrow." "Mr. Ho!" "No need to stay if everything's done." " I'll lock up." " Yes." "Hello?" "Where are you?" "I'll come again tomorrow." "I'll be alright after some rest." "It's no trouble." "I'll bring you some food..." "What would you like?" "Whatever." "Then I'll leave now." "Get some rest." "Call me when you get home." "then hang up." "Alright." "I didn't think you'd come." "We won't be like them." "See you tomorrow." "Tell me honestly..." "Do you have a mistress?" "You're crazy!" "Who told you I had?" "Never mind who." "Do you or don't you?" "No." "Don't lie!" "Look at me... do you have a mistress?" "Yes!" "That's no reaction!" "let him have it!" "I wasn't expecting he would admit it so easily." "I didn't know how to react!" "alright?" "Tell me frankly..." "Do you have a mistress?" "You're crazy!" "Who told you that?" "do you or don't you?" "No." "Don't lie!" "Tell me! do you have a mistress?" "Yes!" "Are you alright?" "I didn't expect it to hurt so much." "This is just a rehearsal." "He won't really admit it so readily." "don't take it so hard." "You've been out a lot lately." "Yes." "It's right to enjoy yourself while you're young." "But don't overdo it." "When will your husband be back?" "Soon!" "don't let him travel so much." "A couple should spend time together." "Don't you agree?" "Good night." "Will you come over tonight?" "What for?" "he says I'm too slow." "when can you come?" "Not anytime soon." "Why not?" "Mrs. Suen lectured me last night." "What did she say?" "Rather not say." "We shouldn't see so much of each other." "going out for noodles again?" "I'll make myself something." "we're having vegetable won-tons!" "Alright." "Mr. Ho?" " No." "A Mr. Chow just called for you." "He wants you to call him back." "Thank you." " Back from work?" " Yes." " Strange weather!" " Isn't it?" "Been here long?" "Just a while." "I don't think it'll stop soon." "Wait for me." "I'll see you home." "We'd better not be seen together." "Then you go first. they'll know I was with you." "I wasn't thinking." "I'll wait a while." "I'll keep you company." "Did you try to call me?" "I wasn't sure you got the message." "Could you get me a boat ticket?" "To where?" "Ah Ping wrote from Singapore." "he'd like me to go and help." "How long will you stay?" "I'll play it by ear." "Why rush off to Singapore?" "A change of scene..." "I've had enough of the gossip." "so why worry?" "and it didn't worry me." "I thought we wouldn't be like them." "But I was wrong." "You won't leave your husband." "So I'd rather go away." "I didn't think you'd fall in love with me." "I didn't either." "I was only curious to know how it started." "Now I know." "Feelings can creep up just like that." "I thought I was in control." "But I hate to think of your husband coming home." "I wish he'd stay away!" "I'm so bad!" "Will you do me one favor?" "What?" "I want to be prepared..." "You'd better not see me again." "Is your husband back?" "Yes..." "Am I hopeless?" "Not really." "I won't see you again." "Keep a closer eye on your husband." "Please... it's only a rehearsal." "Don't cry!" "This isn't real..." "I don't want to go home tonight." "Mei-Yi wants to dedicate a song to her honeymooning friends." "And Mrs. Cheung wishes the best to her neighbors. wants to wish his wife a happy birthday." "So let's all enjoy Zhou Xuan singing in "Full Bloom"." "It's me."

"Has anyone been in my room?" "No." " Something's missing." " What? if someone had a secret they didn't want to share..." "You know what they did?" "Have no idea." "found a tree..." "Carved a hole in it..." "And whispered the secret into the hole." "Then they covered it with mud." "And leave the secret there forever." "What a pain!" "I'd just go to get laid." "Not everyone's like you!" "I don't have secrets like you." "You bottle things up!" "Tell me something!" "I don't have secrets." "buddy!" "I won't tell anyone." "Singapore Daily." "Hold on." "call for you." "Thanks!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "1 966" " Who is it?" " It's me." "long time no see!" " Yes." "who's there?" " Mrs. Suen!" "What brings you here?" "It's been a while." "I was nearby so I thought I'd bring your boat ticket." "And a small gift." "it's nice just to see you." "The place is in such a mess!" "Already started packing?" "I can't bear to throw things away!" "Let's find you a seat." " Have some tea!" " Thank you!" "Mrs. Chan!" "I'm going to the market." "I have work waiting." "Don't rush off!" "Mrs. Suen will be upset if you don't eat here." "pour me some tea too." "How's your husband?" "thank you." "How long will you be away?" "I don't know." "I might stay!" "Why?" "My daughter worries about the situation in Hong Kong." "I don't want to leave." "I don't have my mahjong partners anymore." "And my daughter needs help with her kids in the US." "What about this place?" "I'm not sure..." "I don't want to sell it." "So I might rent it out." "How much would you want?" "You're interested?" "You could have it at a discount." "I'll think about it." "your tea!" "Who lives next door now?" "I don't really know them." "The Koos were almost like family!" "wasn't it?" "Yes." "Let's sit over here." "Yes?" "Is Mr. Koo in?" "He moved long ago." "Do you know where he is?" "You know him well?" "I used to live here." "Is Mrs. Suen still next door?" "everyone's running away." "So who lives there now?" "A woman and her son." "The kid is cute." "No address in the Philippines..." "Just his son's phone number." "you must." "then." "That era has passed." "Nothing that belonged to it exists any more." "Are you ready?" " Okay!" " Let's go!" "1 966" "The presidential corps waits at Pochentong Airport..."
