McDull: Me & My Mum Page #3

---

When did this happen?

Before you were born.

Detective!

My Virgin Hand is itchy.

For what?

Urgent delivery.

Wow! Go deliver.

Any other virgins need to go deliver?

Me too.

A big parcel.

Follow one another.

But, Detective...

Can you wait for us before

you finish your story?

Sure, be quick.

Detective, I'm bored to death.

I'm so bored I want to puke.

Me too,

I have a serious headache.

Well, maybe I'll detour

to something inconsequential...

I'll tell you about my Uncle Cousin.

Uncle Cousin!

That time, mom said to me...

She had joined a space programme

and would be away for some time.

There're so many tests

becoming an astronaut.

And how long will you be away?

I'm not sure, you know,

those space ships...

Mom didn't have many friends,

And the TV station was closed...

Closed?

Out of nowhere,

Mom had Uncle Cousin to take care of me.

This Uncle Cousin... he

was a strange character.

The reverse of mom, he

seldom talked and bored me.

The noodle he sold had only one flavour...

While his stall was located at a place

where nobody ever went by.

I don't remember even seeing a fly.

Uncle Cousin... I'm so bored

I think my head is going to burst.

Uncle Cousin, nobody comes here,

Let's move the stall to somewhere else.

Shall I cook you some noodle?

Please.

Tastes good?

Very good.

Somehow this tastes

Better than all the ones

I've eaten before, why?

You're bored.

People who come here might

be bothered, or lost...

Heartbroken, wearied... or just bored.

At such times,

to have a bowl of hot noodle...

To be able to smell the familiar smell...

People who arrived here

might want to turn back.

But aren't you bored yourself?

How come-

Hush...

Every mountain has its own voice.

Every voice is nice to listen to.

I love listening to the voice they make.

At the end of the world,

a perfect bowl of instant noodle...

Delicate, aromatic, full-bodied, tender...

Then mom came back from space

and Uncle Cousin disappeared.

Never to be seen nor heard of again.

Just like an alien coming

to earth for a visit.

Be a good boy and love your mother more.

How nice...

If things could be stirred

Like a bowl of noodle...

And come together as one?

Question...

What is the lesson of the story?

No lesson.

No lesson?

A dull story, this one.

Excuse moi.

So, are all the virgins back?

All back.

Now comes the highlight,

Me and Mom Got Rich!

Hurray!

Today we join hands with our baby

and hit the jackpot!

Everyone knows Mark 6 is a big jackpot...

The problem is how to pick the six numbers.

We grownups believe in

the numbers 3 and 8...

As they're traditionally lucky numbers.

But such nonsense is like

betting straight from 1 to 6!

Now, our baby is not burdened

with such thinking.

Come, my baby...

Now use your Virgin of Fortune hand...

To draw us six numbers

and we shall be rich!

The first number, 3.

Mark 6 was then drawn once

a week; In order to win...

One has to bet on all the 6 numbers

drawn between 1 and 42.

The forth number, 18.

The fifth... 33.

The last number drawn

...38.

Amazingly

for over 20 weeks,

the numbers drawn with my virgin hand...

NEVET EVE" came UP ONCE.

Trust me to muddle anything up

that could be muddled..

The stuff at the chicken stall is no good.

Not as good as your virgin hand, huh?

Religiously, mom bet on the numbers I drew.

Week after week, not a

single number came up.

Mom canned the programme

after a few months.

Use the nylon rope to tie some knots

Throw it in, and flush.

Helper, now pull!

Like this, nothing left to block

the plumage, all cleared up.

And who needs a plumber anymore?

Now we demonstrate how to get rid

of the flies with the nylon rope.

Helper!

Here.

Everything appeared to return

t0 normal, and then...

A special news...

Pot King, renowned for their fresh material

and delicious hot pot...

Will be closing down in two months' time,

we thank all with gratitude.

Sister, don't mourn!

Grab your baby

and enjoy another meal at Pot King

In fact, our neighbourhood

had been changing

for the past two years.

Subscribers for the station had declined,

now with the closing down of Pot King...

We knew better and started

looking for a job.

Dullie!

Ja!

Find me what's that poison...

Ja!

And poison that b*tch!

Ja!

Great, thanks. Next.

Ja!

Chiefie!

Ja!

Find me what's that called...

Ja!

And poison her

Ja!

That b*tch!

Ja!

May, do you think mine

are shitty hands?

Why are you so gross?

My hands, whatever number

they draw for Mark 6...

Not one number comes up.

You silly, if that's whatever

hands you call it...

Then we're all on the same boat.

Really, for many weeks,

not one number I drew came up.

Well, that can be very helpful.

What do you mean?

Simple take away all the numbers you draw,

bet on the rest.

What?

Whatever you do, I do the reverse...

And I can't go wrong.

Kiddo, why are you pinching me from behind

for no reason?

White Brow! I'm attacking your death point

with my pop's Tiger Paw!

You?

It'd be more like a massage.

This is it?

Mom, it's settled! We'll hit it this time!

Hit what? Hit your head?

Hit the Mark 6 jackpot!

Let's see... six tickets in one go?

No!

These're leftovers, drawn

by my shitty hand.

Are you out of your mind?

No, six tickets, 36 numbers,

all drawn with my shitty hand.

Only six numbers left...

bet on it and we hit the jackpot.

Says who that you have shitty hands?

But it's true! With sh*t all over!

Bet on the numbers I didn't draw

and it's sure win.

Alright, alright, sure win.

Now go wash your shitty

hands and we'll eat.

So, you agreed!

Alright, sure win, I agree. Now go.

Hurray!

I hoped I'd help unload mom's burden...

I hoped she'd get rich!

Mom, we're rich!

We're R-I-C-H!

The result of today's draw

the 6 numbers I didn't draw

What?

We're R-I-C-H! R-I-C-H!

Oh, sure, yes, right, rich. R-I-C-H!

At long last,

it was proven that mine are

really shitty hands...

But the outcome was a happy one.

It was my idea!

The point is, mom got rich.

That night, mom took me

to Pot King to celebrate.

There, we saw Chief and Miss Chan.

Pot King, we're renowned

for our fresh material...

Come to Pot King and give

our crispy eel a try.

Guaranteed to blow your mind out.

Chief! Miss Chan!

Oh, you're here?

Beef balls, meatballs,

duck intestines, crispy eel...

That night, mom and me were very happy

and we ate a whole lot.

She ordered a bottle of

beer, and I had a sip.

Bottoms up!

Wow... delicious.

"Yummy Yum, Yummy Yummy Yum..."

"This number gets me itchy."

"I can't stop but twist and twist."

"My unwholesome body

flows with the rhythm."

"My butt comes to life

with its ugly twist."

"This is a hard time to make a living."

"What little we make we lose in betting."

"But let us all be happy now."

"When the sky falls we say, Wow."

"Let us be happy and raise our cups,"

"Bottoms up!"

Pot King now closes down,

We hope to see you again.

Cut! Dismiss.
