It is the wish
of my mother-in-law.
and at the ceremony we
drink from a double goblet,
and then the bridegroom
lifts the veil and looks
at his bride's face.
You have a beautiful face, Mei Li.
Same face.
Doesn't he even
kiss the bride?
Why should he?
They are already married.
Here, they're not really married
until they seal it with a kiss.
Everything in America
ends with a kiss.
What does it mean?
Why do they do it?
It expresses how you feel.
When you do it with the right
person, you light up inside.
It's difficult to explain.
Maybe it would be easier
if you show me.
Yes, it would.
Then do it.
Come here.
What's that for?
It is the kiss position
I saw on the television.
No, relax. Not that much.
You've got...
You've got two noses.
Close your eyes.
It's better
if you don't stare at me.
Can I open my eyes now?
Is that the kiss that
makes you light up inside?
No. Compared to the kisses
you see in the movies,
this was only half done.
Only half done?
Do a well done, please.
I like it well done.
Oh, Ta, your heart is beating.
Can you feel mine?
I love you, Mei Li.
Oh, Ta, what can we do?
I don't know,
but I'll think of something.
I won't go home tonight.
I'll walk the streets
until I get an idea.
Oh, I will not sleep, too.
Good night, my darling.
Good night, my darling, too.
Try to think of something.
Good night. Try to think of something.
I have not been asleep, my
daughter. I heard everything.
Father, please help me.
There's nothing we can do.
The marriage contract
is signed and sealed.
Seor Sheriff,
I must give myself up.
Well, now, don't tell me that you held
up the Wells Fargo stage at Eagle Rock.
No, no. I came
into this country illegally
across the Rio Grande.
I am a wetback.
I cannot marry
with Rodriguez.
He is in love
with another woman,
and he is a wetback, too.
I must give myself up.
I am a wetback.
Honorable sirs,
and my future mother-in-law,
I must confess something.
I came into this country
illegally across the Pacific Ocean.
It is for that reason,
I cannot marry your son.
My back is wet.
Did you hear that, Momma?
My son cannot marry a wetback.
She has broken the law
and can be deported.
The contract is not valid.
Sir, I would be happy
to marry your daughter,
even if we are both deported.
You are a brave man, Ta.
Oh, Mei Li, you're wonderful.
You thought of something.
Ta, tomorrow we must go
to the Temple of Tin How
and thank the Goddess
of Heaven for television.
Yes.
Linda.
Sammy.
Come with me, Linda.
Mom, I want to make it
a double wedding.
She's okay. She came into this country
the regular way, through her mother.
Mother.
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles
