You think I haven't seen this before?

I've seen bigger ones.

Your hair stinks.

What?

Your hair's very smelly.

Nonsense.

I'll help you wash your hair.

Stop it.

Give it to me.

Terry.

I'm coming, Ma'am.

Help me.

Later on, take a broom and sweep outside.

I wonder which idiot keeps smoking here.

Bastard.

Can I speak to him?

Your son is already asleep.

Anyway how's your Lino?

Still drinking.

Didn't he stop?

You will think.

I told him that he can

go drink himself to death.

Bastard.

They are all the same.

Really thanks for helping.

I know it's hard for you.

It's harder for you.

We know that.

Still out at this hour?

I was making a call.

Are you okay?

Yes, Sir.

Is there a problem?

No,Sir.

Terry.

Yes?

Don't tell Ma'am.

Yes Sir.

I'm sorry but we're looking for someone

with higher qualifications.

But I have 15 years of...

I understand...

but you're not what we're

looking for at this moment.

Okay, thank you.

By the way...

how long have you been out of job for?

2 months.

We have a temporary position

if you're interested.

But we pay by the hour.

Faster.

Don't touch.

The man from upstairs is dead.

What?

You're always full of rubbish.

Don't talk like that.

I'll take you somewhere.

Why are you so clever...

...you know how to come up here?

It's not that I'm clever, you're stupid.

The news said the man jumped from here.

With the View so nice...

...it's no wonder so many come here to jump.

You think killing yourself is funny?

Come on, let's go home.

You're back.

Have you had dinner?

Yes, I had something.

Isn't it going to be stuffy?

I'll switch on the air-con.

And it doesn't cost anything?

If it wasn't for your father, we wouldn't

have taken the second?oor.

We were thinking he could look after our boy...

...in the end it was us looking after him.

Can you watch your words?

We could have chosen a higher?oor.

But you insisted the second?oor

was easier for the old man.

Father isn't around anymore.

What's the point of making all this noise?

Noise?

Yes, the noise from the funeral downstairs.

But you are my sister.

You have to look after him.

You are not giving me an option.

Where am I going to find that money?

Damn it.

I will find a way.

Terry.

Hold on.

You go in first.

Are you off this Sunday?

Yes, why? You want to hang out?

No 'off day' this month.

By the way I need your help.

Sure.

Help me send this back home.

The address is on the envelope.

Don't you dare take the money.

If it doesn't get home, I'll chop your head off.

You can trust me.

You should try to make

extra cash on your'off days'.

Look around Lucky Plaza.

You might find something.

Really?

Auntie.

Kid is calling, got to go.

Don't forget.

Stay outside, Jiale.

Your breasts are smaller

than my Mummy's.

You're always full of nonsense.

This is nice.Try it on.

Where is your mummy?

She's gone to the market.

Nice, right?

Yes, it's nice.

Get up. stop playing.

Still jumping when your arm's hurt?

Have more fish.

It's awful.

Just for you, I got up early to get fresh fish.

Does it really taste that bad?

It's so bland.

Auntie Terry cooks better.

It was me who taught her to cook.

I'm not having it anymore.

Fine, if you don't want it.

Don't grumble when you get hungry.

Haircut or shampoo?

Are you still hiring?

You have experience?

I was a hairdresser back home

for a few years.

We pay four an hour.

But it said five outside.

Well, that's all I'm offering.

But I pay cash.

Can you start right away?

Alright

Okay you can start with the basin.

The customer there.

She's the most stingy Pinoy in town.

You're lucky she's in a good mood.

Years ago she had me

starting at three dollars.

Domestic worker?

Yes.

So what's your plan?

You need to be smart about these things.

We only get a day off each month.

But if you're smart...

...you can try making

some hours on other days.

The key is to not let them find out.

You know...

...it is against the law.

He felt extremely...

Trou...

Trou-bled

Why did he feel troubled?

Is that how you write it? Write it again.

What did you buy?

Sweets. From the Philippines.

This dress looks familiar.

Ma'am, you gave it to me...

the last time.

Oh really?

Wait...

Nice?

Very nice.

Terry, finish ironing all of these tonight.

Make sure you finish by tonight.

Sir is going for a business trip.

But Sir is not...

Where is Daddy going?

None of your business.

Still having sweets when it's almost bedtime.

Sir?

Sir, I'll help you.

I can do it myself.

I can do it, Sir.

I said I will do it myself,Terry.

Go sleep.

I told you to be back earlier.

Now we are caught in peak hour jam.

I was still at work.

How much did you put in the red packet?

Do you have another hundred?

Here... take it.

I don't want my siblings to think we are stingy.

Are we very well off?

Do we need to give that much?

I'm not going to argue with you.

What are you doing?

I'm thinking of starting a business.

With some friends.

Selling bubble tea.

Are you crazy?

Giving up a proper job for bubble tea?

Taiwanese bubble tea

is the craze right now.

My friend has a contact.

It's bound to make money.

You know yourself well.

You are not made for business.

How would I know if I don't try?

Are you as smart as others?

What if you lose all your money?

You are always putting me down.

I'm just asking you to be practical.

I am already out of...

Look at the economy, you still

looking to start a business?

- Why can't you be more...

- Let's drop the subject.

Damn chicken.

You're here finally.

Mother, here is a red packet for you.

What's with his arm?

He's fine, got bumped by a car.

You should wish Grandma.

Say Happy Birthday.

I wish you good health.

I forgot you have a maid.

It's okay. Miss...

...can you add a seat here please?

I'm afraid not.

It'll be impossible to serve the food.

Let her sit outside.

We will order something for her.

But Siti is sitting inside.

My daughter won't eat without my maid.

It's okay for your maid to sit outside.

You will have to sit outside.

Sorry'

Why are you apologising?

Teck, drink with me.

He doesn't drink.

Come on,just one drink.

Brother, it's best not let him drink.

Just one glass.

Just a little.

It's Mother's birthday.

Here you go.

Happy Birthday Mother.

Happy Birthday.

Cheers.

Eat up.

Why did you come out?

They are very noisy inside.

I brought you this.

What is it?

Shark's fin.

Why don't you eat it?

I don't like it. But it's very expensive.

Try it.

Good?

Have some.

Don't like it?

No, I don't.

Have it with the fried rice.

Let me tell you, Brother.

I've been in sales for over 10 years.

Give me any product and

I can sell it like hot cake.

I believe you.

What a noisy bunch.

Goodbye.

Say bye to your aunt.

Where's your father again?

Go check if he's in the toilet.

Don't forget Jiale's birthday next week.

He's still angry you threw out his Tamagotchi.

Are you done with homework?

Told you not to get so much.
