Sun then fakes amnesia in order to protect her illegal identity, and is put-up for several nights by Bon.

Well, we can ask her to stand on the road

Let her get run over by a car again

If she's lucky, the hit may regain her memories

If she's unlucky and died from the crash

At least we can get rid of her. Let's go

I can't believe you can even think such things

No wonder you're so short

I'm waiting for someone. Please come back later

Now what?

Well, to make you feel better

Let's have our Royal Majesty decide

If it's heads, we'll go. If it's tails, we stay

Heads

This is fate. Let's go

Well, there are letters on the head side too

I saw the 2 gentlemen left at the backdoor

What?

You want to eat without paying?

Got any money? Pay up

What are you doing to my wife?

See?

I told you my husband won't leave me here

This is counterfeit money?

I'm sorry

Don't ever tell people I'm your husband again

Wai Hung

Where are you going, Wai Hung?

I want to do some shopping

What do you want to buy, Wai Hung?

Wai Hung is indeed a pleasant name

But my name is not Wai Hung

It's really no use telling you this, is it?

Let's play a game, all right?

What game?

It's called, My name is not Wai Hung.

That means, even if I am really your husband

Let's pretend I'm not tonight

Just treat me as a friend

When you regain your memories back

All is well if I'm really your husband

Even if I'm not, you still haven't been taken in

Then, I'm leaving. Where are you going?

If you're not my husband,

I can't be with you

All right, we won't play this game

We'll play another game

You can treat me as your husband

I'll just pretend to have a wife tonight

I thought having a wife

means I can relax

Turns out I have to sweat myself in the kitchen

The taste is not bad

Chow time

Come sit down

It smells wonderful

Not yet. There's more

What's that?

Champagne

Bottoms up

Let me teach you another game

You're stupid, I'm stupid, he's stupid

Drink up

One more time

Apprentice overtakes the master

It's not fair

Do the dishes

Go do the dishes

What about you? You go.

You're my wife, doing dishes is your job

You keep saying I'm not I won't do them

You can't get away with it this time. Get up

Whoever the bottle point at will do the dishes

Fine with me

I can't believe this

Go do the dishes

All right

They're all clean now

No way. Wash them properly

There're no such rules in this household

Let the rats clean them then

Get up. Cheat

China City Night Club

Can I talk to the cleaning lady. Ah Wan?

Who? Can you speak louder?

The cleaning lady, Ah Wan

She doesn't work here anymore

Where can I reach her?

Who are you?

I'm her niece from Kwong Zhou

Please give me her address

Please wait

Thank you, go on

- Good morning

- Good morning

Sorry. My hands are tied

This is a fat chicken. It didn't go far

Thank you, miss

- Bye

- Bye

Rise and shine

Morning, mom

Morning still?

What brings you here so early?

My club fees are due for collection today

Why are you sleeping in the living room?

I have a friend staying in my bedroom

A friend? Boyfriend or girlfriend?

A girlfriend

A girl?

Not that kind. We're just friends

Of course I know it's not that kind

Or else why won't you be sleeping in there?

Strange, where is she?

Is your friend up yet?

She's gone

When are you going to bring your girl over?

How about tonight? I'll ask her to come dinner

What are her favourite dishes?

Mom, don't you spoil her

She has a bad enough temper as it is

If you pamper her, she'll be worse

Your mom has a reputation for being nice

I know what to do

It's useless

to put on a strict face

Nowadays, it's important to be easy and friendly

Go, clean up and have breakfast

Auntie Wan

Kwong Sun

You're already come to Hong Kong?

Before mom died, she did ask me to come see you

Mommy, Skinny took Billy's bottle

I don't believe this, you bad boy

Billy took my ink bottle first

You kids are all useless

Look at you Ink all over

Give me a break

Auntie Wan, can I stay at your place?

Who's here?

My sister's daughter, Kwong Sun

She wants to live here with us

Uncle

There shouldn't be any problem

Let her stay here

Sure. Where can she sleep?

Just shut your big mouth

Any rice left?

I left it on the stove. Go get it yourself

All you do is eat and sleep

What a lazy bum

I must eat if I'm hungry

Mommy, is this how a lazy bum looks like?

Better get up from there

or I'll spank you good

No, mommy, no

I'm going to break down

Mother once told me that if I can get proofs

From the delivery clinic

I was born in

I can apply to stay in HK as a resident

It's been so long

The mid-wife may have died

Billy was also born in that clinic

There's a name card at the bottom of the drawer

I didn't think you would still keep it

Kwong Sun, it has been too long

You're even prettier that your mother

Make yourself at home

Do stay here

Get out of here. Always in the way

This is the address of the clinic

Kwong Sun, You now know

- what HK is like

- Mommy, Billy is pooing everywhere

Coming

I must take care of them and earn a living too

I really don't have time to help you out

Mommy, Billy has poo all over his face

Can't you wait?

Stink

Here's $200

I worked my fingers off for that

It's the best I can do

I don't think I can do more even if I wanted to

1 997 will be here soon

Why did you come here?

But I was born here

I don't see what's so great about it

What has that got me?

If it's not for these damn brats

I'll head back up there myself

Look at you. It's all over your face and clothes

Dirty as a rat

Hold still and let me clean it up

Stop crying

Stop it, I'm not dead yet

Sh*t

Really, when I was the young bride-go-be

I was so nervous to see my in-laws

Now that I'm the in-law, I'm still nervous

I'm so useless

It must be them

How come it's you?

I should've guessed

you are Bon's girlfriend

Please come in. Come in

You slept here last night?

It's really none of us old folks' business

Just ignore I've even asked the question

Come over here

Sit down

Where's Bon?

Didn't he come back with you?

He...

Cops are all alike

They lost track of time

I don't even know your name

Just call me Kwong Sun

Well then, Kwong Sun

Is it all right it I call you Aunt?

In Cheung Chau,

everyone calls me Mrs Ho

The people from church call me Madonna

If you consider me as one of the family

Like Bon, you can call me mom

Mom

Good. Are you hungry?

No, I'm not

Just sit over there. I'll get you some soup

Go ahead. One must eat if one is hungry

I was starving just now. Look here

I ate them all

You can't tell, can you?

Let's have some soup first

Take it

How's the taste?

It's really good

It doesn't matter if a woman can't raise a kid

But it's important that she can make good soup

Why is that so?

If a man wants to go and fool around

He can use the need to have good soup as excuse

He can't say he needs to go raise a kid, can he?

The way to a man's heart

is through his stomach

Believe me, it works everytime

It doesn't work any other way
