That's not very long, Mr. Ku.

Let's see what your heart

can do in 3 months.

I'm checking out.

I can see that.

I'm going to live

with the bui doi.

They offered a better quality

of cockroach

than the Coronet Hotel.

Aha, see, I told

you I'd get a smile

out of you before I left. No smile.

Oh, yes.

You smile like a little baby.

I'll see you around,

Mr. Reception Desk,

don't forget me now.

I forgot you already.

This way.

Judy say,

"Cheap, cheap place. "

I need to save

all the money I can, Mia.

People here will

think you are insane.

Yeah, well, a little insane

goes a long way.

It's not far from

Madame Linh.

It's perfect.

Dear, sir,

I'm writing on behalf

of the street children

of Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm trying to raise funds

for the building

of a Social and Medical

Center in district 3.

If your company will be

interested in helping

to improve the circumstances

of these children,

I will be very grateful.

Perhaps I could

come to your offices

to make a sure presentation

about my plans.

I look forward

to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Christina Noble.

Finished?

Yes, 19 letters to deliver.

You're going to have

a busy day tomorrow.

I dream of a busy day.

What else do you dream of, Lam?

I dream of a busy day,

that's all.

I have always wanted

to rebuild this,

but never had the money.

Hey.

What the hell are you doing,

you mad woman.

You're trying to get

yourself killed?

Are you Irish?

Amongst many other

fine attributes, yes.

I need to talk to you.

What about?

It'll sound better mixed

with whiskey.

All right,

I'll see you inside.

And I'm not just talking about

the facility that's so so.

I'm talking about a place

that you'll be proud of

if it was in Dublin or London.

Treating Third World children

the same

as First World children.

BlueRock Oil could be

a founding sponsor, Gerry.

I have to go in.

And what can I say, Christina,

I'll read your proposal.

I'll show it to a couple

of colleagues

and I'll give you a call.

I bet you say

that to all the girls.

No, only the crazy ones.

Okay, Lam?

Okay, Mama Tina,

Lam has another dream.

Do you want to tell me?

When my father died,

my mother was very lonely.

No money,

me and two older brothers

at home, very hungry.

Then Mr. Rat

moved in with my mother.

He beat us, throw us

out onto the street.

I miss my mother.

I dream that one day

I'll see my mother again.

I have the same dream, Lam.

I wish you'd come...

Do you good to get out.

You've been in here

nearly 2 months now.

Any day, Joanny, I promise.

There'll be no holding me

back then.

Stop your nagging,

is that what you mean?

I'll try not to wake you.

Hello, how may I help you?

I'd like to apply for the job

in the Fish and Chip shop.

Do you have

experience working chips?

Well, I haven't, no.

I've plenty experience

eating them.

Three cod large, salt and

vinegar on those? Yeah.

And a smoked herring

and a single for you, sir.

Thank you.

Who's next now?

Yes, Mrs. Hennessey,

the usual, is it?

Well, that'd be lovely.

Underway.

Another bucket of chips

there, Jimmy. We're good.

Now who's gonna play

for a hired working girl?

I will.

Oh, true gentleman at last.

Watch and learn, all

you lads... you say.

All right.

Two pickled eggs, she says.

Okay. Music is the

way to a woman's heart,

is it not right, Mr. Olden?

Whatever you say, Christina.

Our lips shouldn't touch

Move over, darling

I like it too much

Move over, darling

That gleam in your eyes

Is no big surprise anymore

Because you fooled me before

I'm all in a spin

Move over, darling

About to give in

Move over, darling

And though it's not right

I'm too weak to

fight it somehow

'Cause I want you right now

Ugh, Cyprus, that's gorgeous,

I think I'll go in there next.

And sea is so bright blue

just like a...

like... there's nothing here that blue.

Do you know the color

that is called turquoise?

Where we you come from,

turquoise is big birds you

kill and eat for Christmas.

So what brought you here then,

Mario, to Birmingham?

You maybe.

Charmer, go away back

to the warm blue sea with you.

Don't listen

to a word, Christina.

I'm not so much charmer,

more straight, direct.

You know?

I like you Joan.

You're funny

like comedy, you know.

The house rules, I lock

the front door at 9 o'clock

so you must be in by then.

No exceptions and no late entry.

Breakfast to serve

from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock.

No pets.

No visitors,

and no inappropriate

or immoral behavior.

The car park's

at your own risk.

Sorry, I'm late, Mr. Olden.

The bus broke down

on Mosey Street,

the whole place

is flooded down there.

Congratulations, Christina,

you got a new boss.

Mario has given me

a very generous retirement.

No, no, no,

Christina is the boss.

They're happy tears.

Mario has been so good to me.

Nobody has been this good to me

since my mum died.

Huh, except me.

Except you.

Oh, I'm gonna miss you,

Shoes.

Mario's.

Just the start of my empire.

The man is tall,

mad, mean and good lookin'

And he's got me

in his eye

When he looks at me,

I go weak at the knees

He's got me going

like no other guy

'Cause he's my big, bad,

handsome man

He's got me

in the palm of his hand

He's the Devil Divine,

I'm so glad that he's mine...

The Americans were destroyed.

What they have claimed

to protect.

But Viet Cong

still concentrated in strength

closing around the major

centers of the nation...

What can I get you?

The bulldozers plow

under the rubble of the homes

and the burnt acres

where the Viet Cong

held out for the first days.

The communists have succeeded

in providing

massive new distractions

of re-housing,

and relief,

and rebuilding to add

to the burdens

of a creaking government.

At the moment,

everyone is waiting

for the expected

second wave of attacks.

Viet Cong have taken

heavy casualties

that may dictate a delay

perhaps to intensify recruiting

in new areas

under their control.

Michael Carlton reporting

from the war in Vietnam.

And in another story connected

to that part of the world,

the families

of American soldiers

missing in action

have received the support

of the famous film star,

Doris Day.

Miss Day has agreed

to be a patron

for league of families

of American prisoners

and missing soviets

in Southeast Asia.

It's the bright blue sky.

I've told you before. They're

not bloody well going with you.

Why not? Because I don't have

a good feeling about this.

You don't have a good feeling

about my children,

visiting an 80-year-old aunt

who has traveled all the way

from Cyprus, who will only

give them sweets and kisses?

It's not your aunt

I'm worried about.

What then?

It's all your showing off,

and driving at 100 miles an hour

like you always do.

What do you know

what I always do, huh?

Shut up talking

for once in your life.

Gladly.

You're a stupid Irish b*tch,

you know that?

Maybe you also a witch, huh?

Putting spells on people.
