CJ7
Good morning, sir!
Dicky Chow!
Just Iook at yourself.
You're covered in dirt.
-I just--
-Don't move!
And don't give me the usual routine.
Why are you always so untidy?
What's the matter, Mr. Cao?
Explain yourself!
Let me talk to him.
Where did the dirt come from, Dicky?
Well, on my way to school,
I slipped and fell over.
Don't your mom or dad
bring you to school?
Mom died a long time ago
and Dad's very busy.
What does your dad do?
He's a coolie.
I'd like to meet him one day.
Would that be possible?
I don't think he has the time.
When he's available, then.
Will you let me know?
Go clean up before class starts.
Thanks, Miss Yuen.
I want to be a superstar.
-Like who?
-Nicole Kidman.
She gets $20 million for a movie.
I wouldn't mind being her either.
I want to be an entrepreneur.
What kind of business?
Any kind, as long as it's really big.
Why not?
I want to be a poor person.
Stop!
My dad says
if you have integrity...
...don't bullshit, don't fight,
...then people will respect you
even if you're poor.
Don't....
Don't come over here!
Put it down!
Go back to your seat!
The name of this amazing dog is CJ1.
It was developed jointly by U.S.,
French and German scientists.
Imagine! Jointly developed!
-Do you want a go?
-Yes, please.
Back off, loser!
There are only two in the world.
The U.S. president's daughter
has the other one.
-What are you doing?
-Eating noodles.
Stand up!
No matter how much you eat,
you are doomed to be a dwarf.
Now get lost!
The quality of the students
in this place gets worse every day.
What have we here, another alien?
-What are you doing?
-Eating rice.
You're just like a huge tub of lard.
Maybe you should
go see the doctor.
You eat so much.
It's horrible!
Someone call the police
to shoot this monster!
Eat to death! Giant monster!
What are you doing?
Bullies! Heroes don't hit women.
Not you again!
Ignore him.
Go away, poor boy.
We don't want you around.
Go away, poor boy.
Hi.
Hi.
You've been sent off the field too?
Yes.
Did you forget your sneakers?
I brought them,
but I didn't wear them on purpose.
Why?
Because I wanted to be with you.
Are all your shoes like that?
Yes, they are.
My dad gets them from the dump.
Your dad's so nice.
He is, actually.
But I so much want a new pair...
...because I really love sports.
I'd like you to keep the old ones.
Why?
Then we'd be punished together,
forever.
Get that panel up there.
Quickly!
You. Hurry up.
You're no longer needed. Go home.
Hey, boss?
With it being so hot right now,
my son can't sleep.
I need to buy an electric fan.
Can't you keep me on?
You should be
paying me back instead.
I paid all the bills
when your wife got sick and died.
Look at yourself.
You'll die before your debts are repaid.
You're starving yourself so your son
can go to that fancy school.
If my son can go to public school,
why can't yours?
Well, I want him
to have opportunities.
I don't want him to end up like me.
But you have to have capability.
He's highly capable.
I'm talking about you, not him.
All you have is a casual job
with no prospects.
How are you going to cope?
-I can manage.
-You can't manage!
-I can.
-You can't!
I can manage.
Very well. Block B. Foundations.
Thanks.
If you want to die, I can't stop you.
Shame on you.
You're back.
Can we have dinner? I'm starving.
Just step back a bit.
-What's going on?
-Turn round.
Come here.
What?
An electric fan!
That's so great! Is it real?
We finally have a fan!
-Now sit down and let me turn it.
-Quickly, Dad!
Dad, did you find this
in the garbage?
No, I bought it.
It cost a lot of money.
You were ripped off!
No, it was fine when I bought it.
So how come it's not working now?
Dumbass.
Use your head next time.
"Dumbass"?
Where did you get that from?
A guy in my class.
Oh, really? Well, let me tell you...
...we may be poor,
but we don't use bad language.
We don't steal. We don't rob.
We don't take things
that don't belong to us.
You must concentrate
on your studies.
I didn't study at all when I was young
and look where it's gotten me.
Yes, we are.
But put it down now.
Finish your dinner first.
Hey, Dad, my sneakers
are worn out again.
Will you buy me some more?
I need you to get me a better pair,
or I'll be sent off the field again.
Got it. Don't worry.
You're still eating!
Lay off the cockroach.
You can get it after you've finished.
Nice. You've improved.
Not bad.
There have been many sightings lately
of UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects.
What happened to the cartoons?
They'll be back in a minute.
Could you please tell us
what happened?
I saw a flying object.
It flew from here to there
with a "whew" sound.
Can you describe the object
in more detail?
Though it wobbled a bit.
I suspect it had crashed before.
Crashed?
Yes, like a car crash.
It might have been broken.
I took a picture of it.
What kind of camera did you use?
It was expensive,
but I can't possibly tell you the make.
Did this particular flying object
make a sound?
It made some "whew" sounds like I just
told you. "Whew. " Do you hear me?
Unbelievable.
Don't run off like that.
Dad, this is called a CJ1.
Everyone at school has one.
They're great!
Really?
Let's go home. Put it back.
What's the matter?
Why can't I have it?
We'll buy it
after I get paid next month.
Now, put it down.
Let go!
Didn't you hear me?
I have no money.
If you buy me this,
I'll never ask for anything ever again.
I beg you.
What about this one?
What features does it have?
Let go.
Let go!
Let go!
Let go!
Come back!
Sir? Do you wish to buy that?
Come on, Dicky. Don't cry.
Stop crying now.
Good boy, stop crying.
Dicky.
Are you Mr. Chow?
I'm Miss Yuen, Dicky's teacher.
Good to meet you.
Miss Yuen. Good to meet you too.
Is Dicky well-behaved at school?
Yes, he's quite good.
He's in a really bad mood right now.
I know.
Kids just want every toy they see.
True.
Just happens I didn't bring
any money today, so....
Dicky, go to your dad.
Come here.
-I'm sorry, Mr. Chow.
-Don't worry. He's like that.
In fact, I'd like to do a home visit.
He did tell me,
but I'm very busy at work....
I believe that a good education
doesn't just rely on the teacher.
That's why I'd like to involve you.
It'll be good for him.
Ah, yes. I see.
Dicky, I need to go now.
Don't be so grumpy.
And listen to your dad, okay?
Okay?
-I must go.
-Okay.
-Bye, now.
-Bye, now.
Dicky.
Look at me.
I have something
way better than CJ1.
Do you want to see it?
Are you sure?
In that case, I'll throw it away
and get back to work.
Goodbye, sir.
Goodbye.
Fanny.
Where's this amazing toy, then?
Look!
It's fun. Look!
It doesn't look that fun to me.
What do you think?
Actually, I agree. It's no fun.
