with my wife

I know

When you two were having brunch

this morning, I overheard your conversation

I have a dinner date with my wife at seven

Give me the CD and I'll be outta your hair

Give me your crystals

No, Unless I'm going in with you

I don't want to see Mr. Cheung just yet

I'll deal with him when you're gone

I'll come in with my colleague

If that jerk comes in with you

His wife will be a goner

I won't

I won't

Okay, you can go in with me

But you've got to follow my lead

I had a chat with her this morning

She's a just a kid

Be nice to her, show some love

Got it

Like how you coerce your clients

into buying them crystals

You were talking about stabbing her straight

in the heart and stuff

I know what I'm doing

Positive energy

Your CD

Take it and get out

But I don't have time to take it back

Can I listen to it here?

May I check on Mrs. Cheung?

She'll live

Can't say the same about the one inside

of her though

Mrs. Cheung?

Mrs. Cheung?

The missus part irks me

Hey, Master Ho

Your wife leave you because, she's ashamed

to be the wife of a fortune-teller

No

In fact I felt ashamed first

Then go to be a shyster

I know

you were once a music teacher

No

I studied Chinese music in school

But couldn't make a living from performing

So I went to teach

No wonder you've got that loser vibe

No

Failures are necessary sometimes

You can learn from them and move on

I know what you're trying to say

Slick, aren't you?

Getting back your CD?

You wanna talk me into leaving

No

I really wanna getting back my CD

That is not gonna happen

My hair's falling out! Why?

What are you doing?

Throw me another the crystal

Be a good shot

This one is expensive, this one is not mine

Set her on fire

Come help me hold her down

Hold her down

Let me go

What are you doing?

What're you scribbling?

Red is a sick color. I hate it

Love

Love

How come it's decomposing?

Think about it

Why it's decomposing?

Why is it all rotten? Cause it ain't sincere.

That word, it ain't from the heart

So he doesn't really love me?

Why did he lie?

Why?

We're talking about men, nine out of ten are...

Well, you ain't got the time

to meet the tenth one

Mr. Cheung can't even recall scribbling

the word in your palm

I don't believe it.

That can't be true

I'm not lying to you

I just asked him outside

You knew it

You knew the truth deep down

You could feel what you had

was something rotten

All you had to do was to open your palm

and look carefully

Now it open

Everything will be all right

I've been dumped by boyfriends before, too

At the time it hurt some much I wanted to die

It was like the end of the world or something

If you ask me now

I'll tell you

I should've dumped him ages ago

You telling the truth?

It's getting dark

I want to go

If reincarnation is for real

Shouldn't I be envious of her?

She gets another chance, to start over again

You don't have to reincarnate

to start over in life

Whether you can start over again it

depends on yourself

Time to let that the douche in

and take his wife to the hospital

Woops, what time is it now?

Sorry

It's ok

Finally finish the last case

Did some good deeds today

Perfect time to retire

Thanks

Gotta go to the rest room

You two have a good chat

Ok

Ben

I listened to your CD

I feel

Wait a second

Dad

I have something to ask you

Go ahead

Did you really close the shop?

Yup. Done and closed

You're retired?

Retired

Cause you kept seeing ghosts recently?

Something like that

Figure I'll see less of them once I'm out

I think it's pretty cool

Awesome

It's not like that

Not awesome

In fact I know exactly what it's like

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Look, the middle-aged man at the next table

Seems to have been burned to death

Probably doesn't even know he's dead

He doesn't

Poor you

When did you start?

I caught a cold a while back and had a fever

Enough, I get it

You must've inherited it from me

It's good stuff

Gives me tons of positive energy

Can't you feel?

The spirituality in my performance

has the feeling of ghost

I won the top prize because of that

Did you tell your mom?

Tell me what?

What is it?

Tell me!

Just tell me

Your son said

He wants to learn Chinese instrument

(Sounds of villain hitting)

Excuse me, I'm starting my business here.

Showing up so late

My son rarely comes back for dinner

That's why I'm late

Today's January 27 on the lunar calendar

And March 5 on the Western calendar

Which is the Waking of Insects in solar terms

The so-called white tiger day

A ferocious night!

The hitter all all over Hong Kong

arrived already

Even villain hitter from

Mainland China had come

If you don't hurry, your seat will be taken

Really?

You wait for me

Yes, madam

Behave yourselves. I will be back very soon.

I want to go, too

I won't be long, OK?

Listen to your uncle's words

What's up?

Nothing

(Sounds of villain hitting)

The husband will never run away again

Done. You'll sleep very well tonight

$50. Thank you

Don't worry. Next

Sit down

No need. I'll stand for it

What's this madam's name?

Ignore the name, just hit

the unknown paper person

I beat your bloody head

Hey, can't you hit harder?

OK. Let's hit

I beat your bloody feet and you'll

never have shoes to wear again

Hey, hold on

It'd be better if you beat on the photo

Hit a photo?

How about this?

We have sets A and B, you can choose A or B

Only have $85. Did you count?

I don't count, $100 is fine

OK. That's fine, on the photo

On the photo?

He)'

Beat this one first

This one?

This woman snatched my son

Oh, this is your son's wife

Beat them all

In any order, beat you all

How could it be?

A mistress is always ranked second

This is true

This woman is such a b*tch

My son totally changed after marrying her

Totally ignored me

They're now travelling again

She left my grandson alone

I won't say any more. Just beat it

Harder!

So poor

Poor what? Are you taking a side?

I'm not on any side

I'm just earning a living

I just mean your son is in the photo too

If I beat it wrong...

Give it to me.

Beat them, don't miss anyone

Beat them

Floozy, floozy

Go straight to death!

Bloody flirty b*tch

Go straight to hell!

Beat them all?

Of course, they are all accomplices

Don't miss one

OK:

I beat all your bloody mouths

so you can't kiss women any more

OK. Let's hit

Mistress, mistress

I hit you to die

He)'

Can you hit her to miscarry?

What? ls she pregnant?

The baby is innocent

I'll add $100

How about the full set for $300?

You'll make sure she won't have an heir

Oh, this will really work

Beat her

I beat your bloody breasts.

They'll burst even if they're fake

I beat your bloody stomach.

You'll vomit day by day

I beat your arms and legs.

You can't go anywhere any more...

Ox and snake ghosts, Please change my fate

Beat all the harmful guys around without mercy

Drive all the devils away

From now on, no more mistress

Fruit Chan

Fruit Chan Gor (Chinese: 陳果; born 15 April 1959) is a Hong Kong Second Wave screenwriter, filmmaker and producer, who is best known for his style of film reflecting the everyday life of Hong Kong people. He is well known for using amateur actors (such as Sam Lee in Made in Hong Kong, Wong Yau-Nam in Hollywood Hong Kong) in his films. He became a household name after the success of the 1997 film Made in Hong Kong, which earned many local and international awards. Chan was deeply influenced by the era of sixties film in Japan, for the reason that they were not afraid to produce realistic movies that addressed society's problems. In particular, the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima was someone who Chan looked up to and thought of when directing Made in Hong Kong.Chan's credits include Durian Durian. Also, Stanley Kwan stated that he was talking with Lee's family to make a movie about the late action movie icon. Further, in April, Chinese state media announced that its national broadcaster started filming a 40-part TV series on Bruce Lee to promote Chinese culture for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. more…
