Miss, may I help you?

I want some CDs of Jazz oldies

But I don't know which ones are better

Let me pick some for you

Thank you

Miss, these are Jazz

of sixties and seventies

All classics. You must love them

I like this one

Can you find one for me?

Yes. I'll keep these for you

Thank you

Ma'am, welcome home Yes

What would you like in dinner tonight?

No, thanks. Mr. Tang and I

will dine out tonight

Hello Hello. Mrs. Tang

You're losing weight

Bye Bye

Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang's arrived

Hello Hello

Hello, Herman

Hello, Mrs. Tang

Come in

Hubby, it's time to go

Can we go now?

I'm ready. I'm only waiting for you

What do you feel about me tonight?

Gorgeous

Thank you

Fiona will go tonight

Give her a lift?

Hello!

Fiona!

Could you go now?

My honey asked me to take you

I don't wanna bother you two

I'll go by myself

Don't take me like that

Clear it up. We'll wait downstairs

OK, I'll come down when done

Mandy... Excuse me

Mandy, my classmate sells red wine

He brought me

many bottles of good wines today

Wanna taste the wine with me?

We first met ten years ago?

More than that. It'll be 12 years soon

We met at the research centre that time

Research centre...

Do you know I've envied you

for 12 years?

Nuts. What do you envy me?

Bro. You're taller, stronger

and more handsome

You make more friends

and have better results in school

Remember Dr. Lo?

I do

Something's been long nagging me

What's that?

You're his pet. But he disliked me most

I don't know I'm that great

I'd like to ask you...

What do you think about me?

You...

always keep your old friends in mind

Frankly, we're busy with our business

after the graduation

If you don't hold the annual party

we wouldn't meet for a decade

I'm a good organizer

I can't agree more

And more to come tonight

What's that?

Ladies and gentlemen

My classmates. Come over, please

Well

Thank you for coming

to the alumni party every year

I hold the party

at different times each year...

to give you different surprises

We celebrated the birthday

for Fiona last year

This year she will

tell us what's in the party

Fiona, please

Today is the seventh wedding anniversary

of my buddies

Kenny Tang and Mandy Kwan

We wish them a happy marriage forever

Jason, please

Surprised?

I love you so much

Me too

So sweet

Go there to cut the cake

Kenny. You and Fiona...

What're you doing

at the research centre?

We're doing the testing

and observation of animal behaviour

We've got an assumption

Animals living together

including human...

have their respective communities

The individuals in the community

have their own identities

Such identities do not belong

to any individuals

They are enshrined by the other members

of the community

We are doing research

on animals in community

the relationship between each individual

and its identity

Do you know what he means?

I won't bother his work

Tired? Let's go home

No

You haven't met for long

Go on

Let me take a rest here

Kenny, what's the use of the research?

The fact is... if you can master

the responses of individuals

and the relationship

between subjects or objects

it'll help you to govern the society

What're you working on?

Research or politics?

Ask Dr. Lo, please

Dr. Lo - the snob who's long

been looking down on me?

He's the chief director

of our research centre

I made an appointment with him tonight

When did you make it?

I've never heard of that

Two days ago

When did he come?

It's hard to tell

You know his whereabouts is unknown

He'll come whenever he likes

It's hard to tell exactly

Isn't Dr. Lo your boss?

I've never seen him

Never

Dr. Lo

Dr. Lo, long time no see

Here comes Dr. Lo

Please be seated

Who?

Mandy

Get up, the others are gone

Why did you drink so much?

I've slept for a long time?

Yes

I'll go now. Everybody, bye

Kenny, thanks tonight

Mandy's drunk. Is she OK?

She's OK

She drank a little bit too much

Enjoy tonight

OK, keep in touch. Bye Good night

Has Dr. Lo been here?

Who's Dr. Lo?

Your boss

He's in the US

You're tired. Let's go home

Take care

I've told you not to drink so much

Take a nap

I'll wake you up when we're back

No, thank you

I'm up

Yes, I was not sober

I seemed to hear you calling Dr. Lo

We did talk about Dr. Lo

But he wasn't here

So you were dreaming?

I really don't know

I drank too much

Forget it

Sally

Sally, it's you?

Sally

Sally, where're you?

Where's Sally?

New arrival?

Yes

This new stuff is fit

for matching clothes. Get your pick

This one is good

OK, I want it

OK, let me pack it

Help this miss, please

OK:

Miss, what else do you want?

Nothing else

$1780. Thank you

Thanks

Miss. Please sign it

Thank you

Sorry, miss

Your signature is different

from that on the card

Could it be?

Sorry, I picked the card from my friend

I'll pay cash. Sorry

Let me tear it

OK:

Thanks Sorry

May I speak to Fiona?

Sorry, she's not in

Is Mr. Tang in?

Mr. Tang's in the meeting

In the meeting?

Then... Forget it

Bye

Please wait...

Sir, someone's coming

Sorry. I'm late

Sorry. I was held up in traffic

Ms Ho, how's the cough of Uncle Lee?

It's better

That's fine

Good morning, Nanny Lau

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning, Uncle Lee

Good morning

Ms Ho said your cough is better now

Yes. Thank you. Miss

You called me Miss again?

We're close friends. Call me Mandy

Someone's called Mandy here

But she's off today

Really?

Let me get your lunch

You're so great

Give me one for Uncle Lee

Miss...

Sorry. There're rules

for this home for the elderly

Except the staff, relatives

and recognized volunteers

all the people

aren't allowed to feed the elders

Ms Ho, I'm a volunteer here

I'm Mandy. Remember?

Miss, which elder do you want to see?

I don't mean to see anybody

Why are you so... weird today?

You come here

not to see any people? Sorry

Here's private area. Please stay away

What're you talking about?

You see...

Miss!

Uncle Chan, remember me?

I'm Mandy

Miss...

You remember me, right?

I'm a volunteer Miss...

Don't bother the elders. Please

Auntie Ko, your son's going

to get married, right?

Miss, please leave!

What's the matter?

Director Ko

Director. Hi there

I don't know why... Ms. Ho's weird today

She can't make me out and kick me out

What's up?

Director. I don't know

This miss seems to know

many of the elders here

I thought she was here to see someone

But she said no

Sorry, miss

Only the relatives of the elders here

can come in

The others aren't permitted to do so

You've forgotten me?

I came here with my hubby last time...

You hired me as a volunteer

I'm Mandy, the wife of Kenny Tang

We've got a volunteer called Mandy here

But she's off today. Don't fool us

If you go on like this

the security guards will send you away

You'll lose your identity

your lover and even all you own

Sorry, I thought I'm in a wrong place

OK... Go on

Hello Is Mr. Tang in?

Mr. Tang is at the office

Mr. Tang, Fiona visits you
