Ok, everybody get your quackers ready.

If you don't have a quacker,

I wanna hear everybody clapping. Come on!

Clap. Quack quack quack. Quack.

Come on. You like it? Don't you? Come on.

Quackers come on.

We did it.

Look around.

It's beautiful today.

You know, Seattle is always foggy

and rainy this time a year.

But, look, it's bright and

sunny out there all of a sudden.

You know, Seattle is always foggy

and rainy this time a year.

But, look, it's bright and

sunny out there all of a sudden.

I don't know. Maybe you guys brought

the sunshine to us. Thanks a lot!

You should enjoy the sun now,

because I tell you,

it's gonna disappear soon.

Fog come back.

Folks, the good time in our lives

don't last too long.

So, take it manage the moment.

Open your heart and love it now!

Not open.

Strange

It's supposed to be open.

Hey.

Let's see up there.

How?

How did you find me?

Go away.

I came all the way

from Greece to find you.

YOU are SO tiresome, woman.

Don't look at me like that.

No, this is how I always

look at you.

Come back with me.

No. I have a new life.

Why? Why did you

come back to me again?

I don't know.

All my love, my heart is here.

Your heart? Don't make me laugh.

Stop fooling yourself.

This is not love.

It is only memories and obsession.

Please.

Don't look at me like that.

Why have you changed so?

This is how I always look at you.

No, that's not true.

Your eyes,

they were always so warm.

I can't remember.

Try to remember.

I can only remember

that I cannot forgive you.

I am not asking

for your forgiveness.

I want your love.

You are so shameless.

Yes, I am.

But you made me this way.

You told me to come back.

I said nothing.

But you did.

Your eyes, your caress,

they all called me back to you.

Some things do not have to be spoken.

I have to go.

Your happiness is in your hands now.

You could never be so cruel.

Wait!

Wait!

I:

I have to go back to prison tomorrow,

after my mother's funeral.

Hao.

Hao. That's the only word

I know in Chinese.

It means 'bad', right?

No, it means 'good'.

Really?

Then how do you say 'bad'?

Huai.

Huai. Huai

Huai. Huai

I'm sorry,

we are doing a Ghost Tour.

You never really know

what you'll run into around here.

Come on, we're going to

go up to the mortuary.

Market Ghost Tour.

So many ghosts here?

Hao. (Good)

Did you come here a lot?

Hao. (Good)

I used to come here a lot

with someone.

Hao. (Good)

Hao. (Good)

He was a friend of my older brother.

We grew up together.

Hao. (Good)

At that time,

without him I couldn't live.

Huai. (Bad)

But Suddenly he left me.

Hao. (Good)

And I married someone else.

At first,

he was caring and loving.

Huai. (Bad)

But I found out later that

he was weak,

and was suspicious.

I don't know how

I got through those days.

Hao. (Good)

One day

my first love came back

asking me to leave with him.

Hao. (Good)

Somehow my husband found out

he threatened to kill us.

Huai. (Bad)

That morning

He beat me so much

that I lost consciousness, and

Hao. (Good)

Where did it all go wrong?

Hao. (Good)

Hao. (Good)

Why'd you ask me for the money?

You were saying yes.

No, I didn't.

You were smiling.

No, I wasn't smiling.

You smiled.

No.

Yes, you did.

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

No.

Fine.

Hello.

Where are you?

Thanks for today.

How much do you usually charge

to spend a day with someone.

You owe me $30,

so how much minus that?

Here's $10 more.

Wait here.

Just half an hour.

No.

I'll be back very fast.

No, I won't be here.

I know.

What do you know?

That you won't be here.

Oh, you came.

You really came.

Here it is.

Your husband is looking for me.

I know.

Don't worry.

He might look scary

but he's a good man.

He said he's going to kill me.

Let's stay together.

You know I have a lot of money.

Enough to help you

set up a restaurant.

Why don't we run away together?

I have to get going.

Take the money.

Now I've seen you, I'm happy.

I know.

Take the money.

Go.

You should get some rest.

It would be good

if we stay together, stupid.

You're stupid.

You know that?

Ok. Bye.

Mom, do you remember this?

You taught me when I was young.

But I'm not good like you.

What do you think?

Isn't it good?

Mom.

Ah, I forgot.

Mom, Can you see?

Here.

See?

Can you see without your glasses?

Here.

This is where I live now.

The weather's really nice there.

Don't worry about me.

Sorry who may you be?

A friend.

Thank you.

Well done

- That's all of it. Thanks.

- Everything's done, yes?

Yes.

Thanks, Anna.

Don't worry about your share.

John.

Can you come here?

I have to go.

With mom gone

We should talk about the restaurant.

In any case, we should get half,

shouldn't we?

I understand.

Let's talk about it another time.

What other time?

It's always on your time.

I have to follow your schedule?

Thank you.

Anna. Hi.

Can I sit here?

Thank you.

Anna, I'm really sorry

about your loss.

Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Wang Jing. Come here.

Oh, so you met Anna.

Good. Good.

So I

Me and Anna, we are

Yeah, I knew Anna

when she was just a little girl.

And she was such a smart girl,

she picked up English right away,

didn't you, Anna?

Actually, she used to work

at this restaurant.

And when the customers would come in,

they would only ask for Anna.

Within a few months

she was working the counter.

And when the customers would come in,

they would only ask for Anna.

Within a few months

she was working the counter.

You know,

so that everybody could talk to her.

Anna, how is China these days?

You've been there

for a while, right?

Yes.

She's she's been away.

And, did you come

with her from China?

Yes.

So how is it there?

You know, the economy,

it's not so good.

So, a little hard.

But our restaurant, it is doing very nice.

Everyone wants Anna.

They all ask for Anna.

They are strange.

Very strange.

People are strange.

But sometimes,

strange people are good.

I don't know why

but I like strange people.

Sorry.

Thank you.

We

Yeah, we're going to

get married soon.

Really?

Yes.

In China, the Chinese way.

Then I want to get married again

in America, the American way.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Wang Jing.

Anna, could you please come?

Sorry.

I think I hear Liang Liang

I'm going to be right back.

Ok.

Who are you?

Yes, I am with Anna from China.

We have a restaurant

No, who are you?

Did you know her from before?

Or did you just meet her?

OK. It doesn't matter,

because I don't, I don't like you either way.

Don't mess with Anna.

She's had a very hard life.

So she doesn't need you

to make it harder.

Do you understand?

Don't play games.

Why not play games?

Games are fun.

They make her laugh.

Do you make her laugh?

Ok, You don't know

what you're talking about.

You obviously don't know anything.

I don't know.

Why do I have to know?

Ok, that's enough.

We're not done.

No, no, no, no, no

Nothing.

What happened?
