It's kind of you

I've rented the whole dining room

Congratulations to your celibacy

I heard the latest rumour

You're well-informed

The rumour has travelled fast

It's the hottest gossip

in all the clubs

Hong Kong is a village

Do you remember me?

Betty l'm Betty, Linda's friend

Of course. I've done your hairstyle

Shall I come straight?

You've split up from Linda

May I consider myself next in the line?

I'm now in intermission

I'll let you know when I'm available

I wouldn't wait. I've got great plans

I have good contacts in Beijing

I can take you to China

With a few hundred salons,

we can get on to stock market

With our talents, plus my network,

we'll be Elizabeth and Walter Raleigh

I don't ask for much

Someone to carry my shopping bags

Be my chorus in a karaoke

Above all, occasional free hair-treatments

Couldn't spot a thing

It's been raining

Maybe she's not there

I'm starving

Let's go

Would you tell me about a person?

Who are you?

My name is Ka-lok. Do you know Lone Chan?

Do you know him?

So you come for my boyfriend

What?

This is my friend, Ka-lok,

who wants to find his dad

Really?

My morn is very ill. I must find him

My mother

Come with me

Where's Mr Chan? Is he away?

I'm Lone Chan

You don't believe it, do you?

Come over

We went to the same school.

We were in the opera club

Your morn was aggressive

She was the most daring girl in school

I am not interested in girls

It was a crime at that time. I had to disguise

I had to accept her crush. I made her pregnant

Your great grandfather was furious

I couldn't possibly marry her

For me it was

unimaginable

You brought shame to our family!

There must be a wedding, or you go!

I left her

Did you marry someone else?

Mom said your in-law was a drug-dealer

You killed a colleague, then killed yourself

She made that up

I've been single since then

I joined the police, with the secret hope

that I could correct myself there to conform

You're way behind. Hurry up you wanker!

You're just a piece of rubbish!

Not you again you filthy queer!

Shame on you!

Get the bastard!

Why joined the police?

I was on late duty with that one.

It was bad luck

You again

What? You sissy

So you have a dick? Show it to me!

Don't you dare?

Go away!

I was scared

I went far away and buried the gun

I turned myself in

I said I had thrown the gun into the sea

Guilty of manslaughter,

I got out after 8 years

The world had turned upside down

The Brits were packing up

I had nothing left

So I decided to live an honest life

I had to be true

I went to Thailand to make a change

I came back as a changed man

I have been waiting so many years

Day after day, at the street corner,

wasting my time. Have I been waiting for you?

Or my Judgement Day?

For something to happen? I had no idea

The moment has come,

Let's get to see mom

Your mom?

Dad

Meet her before it's too late

Please pass her this message

I've missed her all these years

But I prefer hiding for the rest of my life

lam not good enough to be your father

Police never discovered the gun

I dug it out after

This is my previous life

Would you keep it?

Don't look back after you leave here

You are my father forever

What the hell! Do you know

what time it is? What's up?

Just watch this

Sh*t

Holy sh*t. It's dynamite stuff

You know what?

I live here

I make a living from this place

Oh come on

You're the one guy that

preaches about the freedom of press

That's why I asked you to come here

You know they have a right to know

Oh yes. Something nasty happened today

Yes

Those cynical journalists...

I totally agree. The U.S. must be behind this

Hello

Hey you! It's sh*t hitting the fan now

What?

Happy now?

You're the only one who knew

I never said a word

You think I'm an idiot

I tell you, they know everything

Get a divorce, OK?

I've done nothing!

Some guys up in the North called me

Sorry, no mobile in the club

Get me the papers

That's it!

Mrs. Ding

(Ding's Teenage Sex Video Exposed)

Hi

Something for your boyfriend?

How's he like?

He teaches in college

I'd recommend this

This looks nice

What size would fit him?

This will do. How much?

It's $598

I'd take this

Just a sec

- I'd pay cash

- Thanks

Hi morn. Great to hear from you

What? Why are you crying mom?

My brother? Beaten up, in hospital?

But what about dad?

Don't cry morn. How much do they ask for?

What about our house?

Ok. I'll come back. I'll get home now

Your shirt

Hey, come over here!

What a spectacle! Wow!

Andrew, mom's got a flu

Buy me some tablets, would you?

Come over

Thank you for spending so much time with me

But I can no longer stay with you

I don't belong to this place.

We are from different backgrounds

We are both aliens in Hong Kong

You've been living in a shadow

Shall I call it serendipity?

I felt only I could help you to be free

My home in China has been destroyed

I need some money to settle this. I have to go

I feel bad about leaving

But I learned a lot in Hong Kong

Thank you for your sharing

We are both like amber, entrapped

But enthralled by each other

I cast away a cloud for you

But I'm still looking for my blue sky

An insect was fossilized by a drop of tree resin

a million years ago

And you have been imprisoned in your solitude

I bid you farewell

I hope you can fly out

Keep the amber, and the instant of timelessness

Take care

Snowy

(Reminder:
New Year's Eve Party)

"I feel like I can't speak"

"My vision gets a little hazy"

"The world around me disappears"

"I slowly go a little crazy"

"I hold your body close"

"but my heart it isn't here"

"Lost inside this silence"

"Broken down in fear..."

"I need to hold you"

"Like it's the first night"

"Take us back in time"

"Press rewind"

"Why can't I say what's on my mind?"

"I don't wanna shutdown"

"I wanna open up my heart..."

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Thank you, Linda, you have groomed me

You made my dream come true

You redefined my life

You have been such a role model

And a great mother

Rest in peace, Linda

We will miss you forever

I've got good news from the solicitor

The estate's come to me, I mean us

My goodness

Are you that famous journalist?

You've just made a headline

You have good sense

Forget it. This is Andrew

Hi, Andrew

We just got married in Toronto

He had gone thereto study

But ended up graduating with me at a church

Another one. How's life?

Surviving

Everybody ready?

10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

Once more, Happy New Year!

Things looks screwed up this coming year

America is finished. Japan is f***ed up

Europe is bankrupt. Depression everywhere. Agree?

The fireworks look gorgeous

Tomorrow will be wonderful
