Flower Drum Song Page #7

Sammy Fong gave her

everything she's got.

She's been his girl

for five years.

Sammy Fong's girl?

That's right.

The worst of it is

it proves my father was right.

My father was right.

You'll get over it, Ta.

Just rest a while.

Close your eyes.

You're here with me, Helen.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

I have wished before

I will wish no more

Love, look away

Love, look away from me

Fly when you pass my door

Fly and get lost at sea

Call it a day

Love, let us say

we're through

No good are you for me

No good am I for you

Wanting you so

I try too much

After you go

I cry too much

Love, look away

Lonely though I may be

Leave me and set me free

Look away, look away

Look away

From me

Good morning, Miss Helen Chao.

Good morning, Miss Mei Li.

Thank you.

Madam Liang asked me to bring

the Old Master's Western coat.

It is damaged.

How did he ever do that?

Oh, the Old Master

does everything in a big way.

Excuse me a minute.

I'll tell Madam Liang

when it's ready

and you can come

and get it.

Good-bye.

Who was that?

A customer.

I'm preparing

breakfast for you.

Breakfast?

What time is it?

It's past noon.

My father's probably called the

police and every hospital in town.

Please, Ta.

Stay and eat something.

Thanks, Helen.

Some other time.

I've got to get home.

When will you come again?

Soon.

Ta, please.

Don't go yet.

Please.

Helen, I'd like to stay.

But you know

my father, he'll...

Really, Helen, I'm sorry.

Maybe some other time.

Ta.

Look. He didn't come home.

This is the first time

he's stayed out all night.

What could he be doing?

If this was a quiz program,

I could win a trip to Europe.

I want you to call the police

department to close down that nightclub.

It is destroying

public morals.

They cannot.

It is a free enterprise.

It is

that dancing girl's fault!

Throwing her evil spirits

in my face.

That is American folk dance.

Uh-oh.

Wait.

Why are you not in school?

It's Saturday.

Always some excuse!

I was going

to mess up your bed

but the folks beat me to it.

Father?

Where have you been

to this hour?

Spending the night...

Stop. Not in front

of your aunt.

I beg your forgiveness,

my father.

You were right.

I should've listened.

I was a fool.

Knowing you are a fool

is the beginning of wisdom.

Now I have my son back.

Send Mei Li to me.

Finding the right woman is a

responsibility that rests on my shoulders.

And I'm happy to say

that I have found her.

I have spoken to Dr. Li.

True, Wang Ta.

I would be honored to

have you for my son-in-law.

Come, we will drink to the

happiness of our children

with tiger bone wine.

My child.

I'm glad you are here.

We must all drink

to my grandchildren.

Leave them alone. Let

them settle it themselves.

What is it, Mei Li?

Look at me, Mei Li.

I want to tell you a story.

Along the Hwang Ho valley

Where young men walk and dream

A flower boat

with singing girls

Came drifting

down the stream

I saw the face of only one

Come drifting

down the stream

You are beautiful

Small and shy

You are the girl

whose eyes met mine

Just as your boat sailed by

This I know of you

Nothing more

You are the girl

whose eyes met mine

Passing the river shore

You are the girl

whose laugh I heard

Silver and soft and bright

Soft as the fall

of lotus leaves

Brushing the air of night

While your flower boat

Sailed away

Gently your eyes

looked back on mine

Clearly you heard me say

You are the girl I will love

Some day

Yesterday I would have been

very happy if you loved me.

But last night I learned it

was another girl you wanted.

No, that was all a mistake.

My engagement

to Linda Low is broken.

I am not speaking of Miss Low.

This morning I took...

I took your father's coat

to Helen Chao's to be mended.

I saw another coat on a chair.

And this flower...

You will not understand

how I feel

unless I tell you something.

It will be hard to say.

When you came into this garden

the first time I saw you,

I knew I loved you.

I knew I wanted

to be your wife.

Oh, Mei Li.

It is necessary for me

to tell you this

strange thing

so that you will understand

how I feel now.

It is because I loved you

on that first day

that my heart

is so hurt today.

I do not love you anymore.

I'm grateful for your

hospitality, Master Wang,

but the time has come

for us to leave you.

Please believe that our

reasons are good ones.

There he goes again.

I'm clean.

Me, too.

Hey, what's the matter? Don't

you enjoy winning a fortune?

Oh, Sammy's carrying

a torch for Linda.

You some kind of nut

or something?

Sammy Fong don't carry

a torch for any dame.

I'll get it.

Hello, Mrs. Fong.

Hello.

Hello, Mama.

Hello, Uncle.

Sit down, Mom. Sit down.

Why didn't you let me know

you were coming?

We just finished dinner.

Having our tea.

Sammy cooked us

a wonderful goose.

My son is a very fine host.

Sit down, gentlemen.

They were just leaving.

You must give us

a revenge some time, Sammy.

Sure, any time.

Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Thanks a lot for the

dinner. Thank you, Sammy.

Good night.

See you later.

See you.

Thanks for the tea, Sammy.

Yeah.

Sammy, that's just the crowd I

don't wish you to go around with.

Gamblers. They'll take

all your money away from you.

Right now they're

having a little trouble.

It's living alone like this.

Oh, I don't mind living alone,

not the way I do it.

Oh. Excuse me.

Oh, good evening, Miss Low.

This is my mother

and my uncle.

This young lady is an employee

at the Celestial Gardens.

How do you do?

How do you...

I came to see Mr. Fong

on business.

Oh, I see.

Mama, why don't you and Uncle go

on ahead to the Family Association?

I'll meet you there.

Very well, my son.

Business first.

An interesting business.

Yeah.

What's the idea

of barging in like that?

I never rang the bell before.

I came to pick up my umbrella.

Listen, baby,

I did you a favor.

You and that guy

would never be happy.

Baby, deep down in that

plastic heart of yours,

you know we belong together.

We were both born

in the Year of the Horse.

This horse is scratched.

But, baby, you know the

spot I'm in with my mom.

A grown man

afraid of his mother.

But, sweetie,

Pop left her the business.

If I cross her, she'll cut

me off without a fried noodle.

Talk is cheap.

This time

I'll prove it to you.

Now don't blow this.

I'm in the money

and the mood at the same time.

It may never fall

that way again.

Linda, will you marry me?

Yes!

There you are, baby.

We're as good as married.

Nothing's as good as married.

Now that we're going

to be married

I keep imagining things

Things that can happen

to people

When they are wearing

gold rings

Being together each morning

Sharing our coffee and toast

That's only one

of the pictures

Here's what I picture most

Sunday, sweet Sunday

With nothing to do

Lazy and lovely

My one day with you

Hazy and happy

We'll drift through the day
