Ghosts Page #2

You're worried about mud on you?

That's wrong. You need to get the dirt off.

- But my hands are getting messy.

- So what?

Hurry up.

Mr. Lin?

Where do they send these spring onions?

Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco.

Supermarkets.

Oh, my god! That's a toilet?

We should buy more today.

We just got our salary. We should splurge.

You cook or I cook today?

Let's buy some chocolate.

It's so expensive.

It's for the people at the job agency.

So you want to bribe her?

Ghosts like to be bribed.

Listen to yourself. Cheeky one.

Everything's so expensive.

Look, Chinese vegetables, 78p.

Look, spring onions.

Maybe I picked these ones myself.

Wow, 58p. They're so expensive. What a rip off!

We wrapped those onions,

but we can't even afford them.

Ai Qin, how many boxes did you do?

I only did four.

- Not bad.

- I did six.

- I did seven.

- You all did so well.

The boss did the best.

This is much better than that chicken wing.

Your chicken wing fell on the ground.

Robert.

F***! Look, he's holding her.

This is for Ai Qin.

- A really nice one.

- It's not cooked.

I'll buy you a pair of shoes.

- It's okay.

- When did you become so nice?

When did you buy me a pair of shoes?

I forgot. I forgot, sorry.

Up yours, baldy. I hope you choke.

Ai Qin.

- Come here.

- I'm having breakfast.

Come here!

Be warned.

Mr. Lin is my boyfriend.

He's mine. Got it?

Men are heartless sons of b*tches. They're cheap.

If you treat them nicely,

they treat you like a dog.

If you treat them like sh*t,

they lick your feet.

My husband left me for another woman.

Everyone has problems.

You may act tough,

but I can tell you've been hurt.

What do you know, country peasant?

I've got to go.

- What's wrong?

- I just called my family.

The money lender came again.

I thought you borrowed money from your friends.

No, from money lenders.

They threatened my mum.

They said they'd kill her.

Your payments are late?

I regret it so much.

I shouldn't have left.

I wanted my mum to have a better life.

It'll be okay.

# A person wandering away from home

# Is missing you, dear Mum

# The steps of a traveler

# On the other side of the world, without a home

# The winter snow, with the snowflakes

# Soften my tears

# Walking on and on

# Walking across many strange places

# For many years #

Close the door.

Do you want to make more money?

You're always complaining about it.

I know of a good job.

I have friends in London.

They run a massage place.

Lots of girls work there.

You could pay your debt quickly.

It's not for me.

Don't you want to make more money?

Help your family?

No, thank you.

I haven't finished yet.

- What?

- I heard there's cockling up north.

It pays very well.

Some of the others are coming with me.

It's an easy way to make money.

What do you think?

Think about it.

Come on!

We're working for a local farmer today.

It's tea and milk mixed together.

F***!

What happened?

It looks like there's been fighting here.

Let me have a look.

Door's open.

Somebody's pissed in here.

Chio!

Where are the others?

F***!

Nobody's here.

No one's here. There's no answer.

- Is that the landlord?

- F***! Clean it up, quickly!

He's such a prick. We're f***ed.

They're all coming. Are you?

- No.

- Why not?

What do you mean, why not?

- It's too dangerous and too dirty!

- Too dirty?

You shouldn't have come to England

if you were worried about dirt.

Why are you here? Your Robert's not dirty.

Go to him.

You do sh*t jobs. Now you ask me to do cockling.

You want me to look like a country peasant?

You are a f***ing country peasant,

more so than the others.

- I can't take this anymore!

- I don't care!

F*** off!

- I'm going to Robert's.

- F*** off!

F*** off! Go away! F*** off, quickly!

I don't need you. F*** off, quickly!

Take your toothbrush.

Mum, it's me.

I'm going to change job soon.

The boss has found us better work.

Housing conditions are better.

If you need me, call this number.

Can I speak to Bebe?

Hello, Bebe. It's Mummy.

Mummy is going to move to the seaside soon.

You can go to the seaside, too.

You can call, "Mummy! Mummy!"

And I'll hear it from this side.

Hurry up!

It's mostly garbage. Let's leave it.

We should wash the dishes.

Push it.

What is that smell?

How many rooms are there?

It's very smelly, isn't it?

- Go get the mattresses.

- Why is it even worse?

Such a small room.

Only two rooms.

Ai Qin, look over there. It's really pretty.

Our home is just on the other side.

Your son is there.

- Look, there's a rainbow.

- Yes, it just rained.

It stretches halfway across the sea.

I hope this is a new beginning.

I think that rainbow is a good omen.

It announces a new beginning.

How does the rainbow announce that?

It's there in the sky, so it's a new beginning.

That's all.

This is our first day, and we see a rainbow.

It's like it's welcoming us.

Like this.

Scrape them together, and then put them in this.

Then keep shaking it.

- Xiao Li?

- Yeah?

We've worked so hard,

but we'll only fill about four or five bags.

That's 30 today.

There aren't many cockles here.

The other area looks better,

but the Ghosts don't want us there.

It looks like they occupy that area.

If we went cockling there, we could make double.

Yes, there are loads of cockles there.

My legs are killing me.

F*** off!

Have some water.

Are you all right?

This is f***ing dangerous.

We can't go again in the f***ing daytime.

There's too many of them.

I think we should go at night from now on.

They all hang out at bars at night.

If we go cockling at night, we can avoid them.

Let me make some soup.

I could put our cockles in it.

The weather's terrible.

Ghosts won't come out when it's like this.

F***! Tide's up. Quickly, let's move!

F***! It's coming fast!

It's moving fast!

You've put all our lives in danger!

What the hell are you talking about?

You want to drive?

You think I'm not f***ing worried?

- Turn right.

- No, it's left. You're going the wrong way.

The shore is that way.

Get out of the van.

We'll head for that sandbank

and try to get across.

Don't go! Don't go! There's quicksand!

Stay with the van.

Is the water high over there?

Can we swim across?

- They're telling us to swim over.

- I can't swim.

Is it safe over there?

Some people got stuck in the sand.

Stop crying! You just f***ing cry all the time!

Let's swim to shore.

Call me Mummy. It's Mummy.

Don't you recognize Mummy?
