Ah Tao, as a member of the Yu family

.. when you go out with an elder,

you ought to take care & be responsible.

But instead you have let it come to this!

how can you answer to your late uncle?

-Daddy

-Ah Tao

Enough said

If you are disobedient again...

I'll not allow you to study in Hong Kong.

Shut up, stop it.

I told you.

Don't think just because you're an elder,

you can have my daddy serve you.

You should say good morning

... and greet him good night.

In fact we are more or

less the same age.

What should young people do?

Fight for freedom.

You're right.

You'll take up the load.

You bastard.

Stop.

My daddy used to be very liberal with us

... until she came

Now everything's back

to the feudal system.

I mean, back to family punishment

... and orthodox etiquette.

If you've done wrong,

Daddy would say alright.

But now even though I do the right thing,

... all that Daddy mutters is 'no good'.

What's more,

even threatens to stop my studies.

You bumpkin.

causing so much trouble here,

I'll beat you...

Charlie

What's up?

Because his grand auntie

has caused him trouble...

so he is using the straw to let off steam.

Really?

Charlie, don't be crazy.

Charlie, take it easy.

Charlie you won't solve

problems this way.

Yeah.

James, Robert.

How else otherwise

can I vent my anger?

Where? How?

Charlie I have a good idea.

We've come to see you because

we wanna...

give a party for our classmates studying in

Hong Kong.

Party?

Yes, because we're going on

summer holiday

... and going back to Guangchau.

We naturally lose contact,

as we live so far away

Hence we must organize a party

... for all of us together.

- I mean, to keep in touch

- Okay

Charlie, your young grandmother to

come along.

- Grand auntie?

- Right

How would she know how to dance?

Precisely... because she doesn't

now how to dance.

Isn't she always causing you trouble?

Well, yes.

Right, let me take care of it.

There'd be a masquerade ball.

She'll be embarrassed.

Ah Tao.

Hi, grandmother.

Call me Charlie.

Damn you.

You little brats...

what are you doing here?

Wearing such weird clothes!

Charlie.

You don't know grandmother.

This is my band.

What, you are sick?

No.

Music.

Rose, rose with such slender stem.

Rose, rose with such prickly stem.

You have been hurt.

Rose, rose I love you.

Heart's promises, new love.

Ah Tao

The holy light lights up the earth.

What are you doing?

Heart's promises, new love.

The holy light lights up the earth.

Ah Tao, what are you doing?

Stop, what are you doing?

This is... Dancing

- Yes.

- What?

What is all this nonsense?

No nonsense, this is dancing.

You call this dancing?

Is this not dancing?

No.

The moon lights up the ground.

- On new year's eve...

- That's what I call dancing.

This is all outdated.

You need rhythm to be 'in'.

Rose, rose you are so harsh.

- Rose, rose your thorns are sharp.

- What are you doing?

Oh, that's ruining intertwined stems

of two flowers!

Rose, rose I love you.

- Would you like to learn?

- Yes...

I won't.

James.

Second way.

Grand auntie.

Charlie, your grand auntie is old.

She can't dance like us youngsters.

Right.

She looks like an old woman.

Right?

Yes...

Doesn't look like a young person at all.

Right.

Am I older than you are?

Not much, we're almost of the same age.

Right.

You said I look like an old lady.

I'm just more senior than you

in terms of relation.

That's why I'm saying...

that while you're as young as us,

Yet you're not as civilized and

... trendy as we are.

Weird dance!

You call this civilized, being trendy?

That's correct.

At least you haven't seen this before.

Can you dance?

Who says I can't?

It's just that I don't want to.

You dare not?

I don't dare to? What am I afraid of?

Right, grand auntie isn't afraid of anything.

Let her try.

She doesn't dare to dance.

You tell her.

It's no use.

Let her try.

She doesn't dare to.

What?

No use.

How will she ever join our party?

- What party?

- A masquerade.

- What masquerade?

- You'll have to put on masks.

- Put on make-up too.

- Right.

Is it something like...

Not like this.

You have to dress like a foreign lady.

Juliet.

Oh, Romeo, I love you.

- What?

- Men will dress like Robin Hood.

Some girls will dress like Carmen.

Don't worry,

the dress you're going to put on

... has been brought from Hong Kong.

- They've got all sizes.

- What?

All sizes.

- Ah Tao, I um...

-You're afraid that Daddy will be angry.

- He won't be angry with me

- Right.

Don't ever say that

grand auntie is an old lady.

She has promised to come to the party.

Ah Tao.

I'd better...

I know you won't come.

I've decided to go tomorrow night.

Okay...

Ah Tao.

Are you changing your mind?

Don't tell your Daddy.

Young Master.

Okay...

Alright.

Yu Tao is dating that girl to the party.

Party?

Does his Dad know?

His Dad doesn't know about it.

That is to say they're slipping out.

I've got an idea.

Mister, the vehicle...

come and buy it later.

Alright.

- Please.

- I can't dance.

I can't.

Hey, you.

Put me down.

Put me down.

I am dizzy.

What are you doing?

Put me down.

Wait.

We have to return

to the original place.

Let's break up this party.

Wait for the police.

then send his dad

to the police station.

No, I'm passing out.

No...

You... Ah Tao...

Good dancing, you dance well.

Three musketeers.

- What?

- Three musketeers.

..This is musketeer Tong Wong

They are all praising you.

Miss Dalina.

What did you say?

I've given you an English Name.

- English Name?

- Yes, good dancer.

He wants to dance with you.

Please.

Is it just dancing?

- Yes.

- I won't dance.

You three?

- We are the new three musketeers.

- I know, new three musketeers.

- Robin Hood

- Robin Hood

How come there are new and old

musketeers?

They came here first,

that's why they are old,

And they've just arrived,

that's why they are new.

- Is that right?

- Yes

Romeo.

Oh, Romeo, where's Juliet?

I'm not Juliet, I am...

I'm looking for you.

I won't dance.

Music.

What are you doing?

Why are you holding me so tight?

What are you doing?

Release me...

How come

you've torn your dress?

The three of them...

Romeo, behave yourself.

She's my grand auntie.

I know.

Ah Tao, why is he hitting me?

No, grandmother.

Hey, friends,

I've asked you to amuse her a bit.

... why did you hit her?

Crazy, crazy, all crazy.

Don't be afraid, Charlie.

When we party in Hong Kong...

there's always fighting, you know?

They are going to fight, come on...

- Hey, Charlie, not our friend.

- Yes.

Who are you?

Where the hell are you guys from?

Which school are you from?

University of the society

... majoring in robbing, fighting, killing.

Don't move.

- We have competitors.

- Yeah.

Don't move, back off.

You can't fight him.

Let me take care of this little guy.

One by one.

- Can she do it?

- Yes...

What did you say?

Nothing. Doesn't fighting him unarmed...
