Thank you

Thank you very much

Rima, push more to that side

Ma'am, where do I put the elephants?

Put them over here. Be careful

Don't stop at the entrance, go further up

Fai

I'm writing you a cheque,

go to the bank and cash it for me please

Okay

Once you get the money call me straight away

Hey, I thought you weren't coming

I felt better, so I decided to come

- Great. Are you alright now?

- Yes, I am fine

Come on

How old is the swimming instructor?

My daughter is fourteen

He shouldn't take photos like that with her

Did you add your daughter on Facebook?

Of course she wouldn't let me add her

Even if she did she'd delete me or dislike me

And then post on her wall

"My mom added me on Facebook but I deleted her"

Excuse me, I need to use the washroom

Fai, did you get the money yet?

Still waiting in line?

Call me as soon as you get it

Thanks

I can redo the stones on the dance shoes

in time for the charity event

I have to get this call

Where are you going to get the shoes done

Anywhere, it's easy

ls she alright?

She said she was a bit ill but she's fine now

ls her husband okay?

Why wouldn't he be?

My husband said he can't reach him lately

He's a busy man

He's not that busy He'd normally call

my husband for anything

But he seems to have disappeared

Fai

How are the desserts?

They're really good

Are you okay?

I'm fine It was my daughter on the phone

She's not coming back to Hong Kong

for the summer holidays

My husband is furious at her

Kids her age just want to

stay away from us

That's true

The cake is good

Should we get the bill?

Sure Can we have the bill please?

- Thanks

- Thank you

What's going on?

What's going on?

I think I had a false labor

Have some tea

Watch out, it's hot

Maybe we should have the baby here in Shenzhen

That way it would be less difficult for you

But we can't afford the second child fine

I'm fine

Look, I'm okay

I can do it

We don't want our child to be

an illegal citizen, right?

I'll be fine

Trust me

Okay

Don't bother with the exhaust pipes

they're worth nothing

The tires aren't that new you wouldn't

get much out of them

The stereo is quite good

you can consider selling it

Don't touch the disc brake it can

only be changed with computer

Your best bet is the wheels

Are you sure it will be okay?

Sure, I couldn't even tell the fake ones

from the real ones

Think about it

Let me know what you decide

Mrs Li, you can come in now

Thanks

Since Mr Li's account has been suspended

We cannot issue a new card for you, I'm afraid

We can process it next time

when you come with Mr Li

What about my own account?

Let me take a look

Your money is mainly in stocks and some cash

Can I sell all the stocks?

I wouldn't recommend that

you'd lose a lot of money

How about I introduce another investment plan

for you to consider?

- I want all my cash out

- Okay

I'll do that for you now

Ma'am...

I'm leaving

What?

I'm going home

Sorry

Leo?

Leo?

Sorry

Make that two

Does your friend really look like me?

Why don't you give him a call?

He doesn't answer

You sure tapped some luck back into my game

Shall we play?

If we win, it's yours

Help me out

Here is your month's salary

Thank you, Mrs Li

Hello

Maybe Dad forgot to go to the bank

I'll remind him

How are you?

Have you had dinner yet?

Don't stay out too late

Take care of yourself

Okay. Bye-DYE

Here's a tip for you

Tonight race 6, number 5 a sure win

I overheard my boss talking to

the horse trainer on the phone

This elephant has been blessed by a monk in Thailand

It's really worth it

I should hope so It's pretty expensive

I'm not making any money off you Trust me

I'm not suggesting that

By the way, where should I put it?

You should consult Master Chu he's very accurate

He'll find the best place for it

Great. Can you text me his number?

Sure

Fai

Could you put the gold elephant in Mrs. Lau's car?

I heard if you have been blessed by the Buddha

You must visit the temple in Thailand every year

Only for three years, it's not that bad

If it works

I guess it's worth going every year

Do you consult other Feng Shui masters?

My husband doesn't believe in it

I can't let him know about this

Hi

Lulu

Lulu

Lulu

What do you want?

I'm only missing the hospital letter

You have to help me

You have to help me

You will make me lose my job

Don't do this to me

Couldn't you just help me out

Why won't you help me?

Why won't you help me?

Hi, Qing

Let's go home

- We're leaving now

- Bye

Fai, it's really late already, come have dinner

Since when do you smoke at home?

Mummy, I can't open the door!

Hoi Hoi

Listen to me

You see the lock? Try pushing it

and then turn it to the right

Where is the key?

Fai, where did you put the key?

Hoi Hoi, stop crying

Go sit on the bed

Are you sitting on the bed?

Fai, can you turn up the air-conditioning?

Okay, no problem

ls it better now?

There's no air coming out at all

Should I get it checked tomorrow?

No need

He said he'll take the disc brake as well

Okay

All good Go ahead with it

How long will you be staying at my place?

Ten days

Okay

Did you manage to book a hospital bed?

I heard they are all booked up here in Hong Kong

Yup, I got it

What's that for?

For helping me out

Don't be stupid

Take it back

Try this one

Let me find something else

Hey, Ping

Can I borrow a jacket from you?

What for?

My mother just arrived from Hunan

and her luggage got lost

I'll return it tomorrow

Can I borrow this one?

This one

I will return it soon

Thank you

I am worried that the baby will be late

Can we still stay in Hong Kong then?

Don't worry. My friend said we could

stay for as long as we need

When the baby is ready we just rush

to the emergency room

The border's so crowded at this time

No one will notice you're pregnant

Don't be scared

Fai, I think the officer is coming towards us

What should we do?

Let's go before we get caught

I knew we would fail to cross the border

I should've aborted this baby

Hi, Mum

Hey, what a surprise

What is this place?

I had this made for the neighbours

So we can hang out in an air-conditioned place

I'm stealing electricity from over there

You're quite something

Come sit

Let me do that

How's your little business?

A bit quieter but more free time for myself

Oh yeah

I'm going to Cambodia next month

Who are you going with?

Just by myself

By yourself?

That's really dangerous

I'm used to going around on my own

How about I come with you?

It's not really your thing

I'm going to walk and hike everywhere

I can hike

I know you can But your hair will get messed up

Where's Leo?

He's at work

ls there anything wrong?

Everything's fine

You staying for dinner?

I got fresh fish for tonight

No thanks

I'm having dinner with Leo

Hello, Mrs Li we're here to look at the flat

Here's my business card

I think you got the wrong address

Wait, it is Mr Li who told us

to come look at the flat

No one's selling any flat here
