Congratulations!
Let's hope the bride
is not pregnant.
Here I come, my dear!
Come on!
Finish the banana then
you can bring the bride.
Come on.
Bite it!
Higher!
Bite it!
Getting married on a Chinese New
Year's Eve, I've never seen this before.
What's the rush?
Stop asking the obvious question,
hypocrite.
Bite it!
Pass it!
Come on, open up!
Ninety eight...
Two more, two more.
Ninety nine...
One more, one more,
one hundred, one hundred!
The last round,
squeeze the milk.
Burst it, burst it,
harder, harder.
Hey! Where are you going?
Come on, squeeze it.
Dong, what is all this nonsense?
Your daughter's wedding
is embarrassing.
It's just like
making a porn movie.
And your
son-in-law's hair...
...is just so inappropriate.
I feel sorry for you
being a host.
Chuan, don't get angry so easily.
It's easy to get a stroke
at our age.
These are typical youngsters.
We are getting old.
Be more open-minded,
don't get angry.
Sweet heart, if you are
truly a highland girl,...
...then you should be used to
these winding roads.
I wasn't born here.
Stand still.
I'm going to puke on you.
No, You're not!
Come here.
Please welcome
the bride and groom.
- Thank you.
- Fetch the bride with the umbrella.
Blessed by sky, blessed by earth, blessed
to be taken care by your new family.
Wish the couple with
blessings and good fortune.
Dong, you love
your daughter so much.
Why didn't you throw a banquet?
These youngsters
have their own thinking.
I'm fine as long as
they are happy with it.
The youngsters nowadays
don't know the ways of the world.
Don't you know too at this age?
Getting married
is a matter of prime.
You should invite
all our old classmates.
She thinks it's too troublesome
to send out invitations.
Anyway, as long as
everyone is happy.
Sending out invitations
is troublesome?
If it's my daughter's wedding,...
...I'll send the invitation
to any places I can reach.
Is it for real, Uncle Chuan?
Yes, and I will honor my word.
If I fail to do so,
I have to go. Let's go!
Benji.
Not that way, this way.
Which way?
This way.
Can you go a little bit faster?
Please, can you just
hurry a little bit?
Ok, nearly there.
Benji you dropped my drawing!
Or I'm gonna sh*t my pants.
Hurry!
Hello?
- Hello, Uncle?
- Can u please open the door?
Uncle?
Uncle, please open the door.
He is probably out.
Just hang on for a while.
What you mean he's out?
What are the bloody chances. Sh*t!
I told you he is out.
Oh yes!
Go go go!
Hey!
What are you doing?
I've got no time to explain.
No. If he finds out,...
Well, he is not going
to find out, is he?
Whatever.
Come on. Just work for me.
Ghost! Ghost!
Uncle Chuan,
there's a ghost at your place!
A ghost?
What ghost?
There's someone
prying your door.
You'll be left with nothing
if you don't go back now.
I don't know
what you are driveling about.
Come on!
Sh*t!
I'll pry it.
No!
It going to happen.
No!
White man!
Don't move!
White man, don't you move!
Catch him!
Stop him from running away!
Uncle Chuan is here.
Eating too much potatoes
must have made you crazy!
You come back all the way from UK
with a motorbike?
Who wants potatoes?
I didn't buy it.
Bee, you haven't been back
for so long.
I heard that you are back.
Hi, my name is Benji.
Ah Gao.
Uncle, it's early that you pay me.
I don't want to owe money
during Chinese New Year.
Oh no, round 2.
Bee, I know you like the scallops.
I've added a lot in it.
Don't act like your father.
He's too stingy to add
more even if he likes it.
Smells good.
No!
Bee, what does your boy
friend do for a living?
He is a singer in the band.
Stage singer?
He must have earned a lot.
You have to throw a big banquet
for your wedding.
Your dad has to save his face.
You have to make it great.
At least 88 tables,
am I smart or what?
We are engaged. We didn't plan
That's a worry!
Your dad told everyone...
...if he doesn't throw a banquet
for his daughter's wedding,...
...he will take the punishment
of a thunderstrike.
Ah Gao, are you nuts?
You used-up my scallops.
They're not cheap, you know?
I'll pay you back, ok?
You've not been back
for so many years,...
...Yet you humiliated me
the moment you got back.
You kidding me?
You offering me the chicken head?
Benji, the chicken head
is not for eating.
Oh, buggar, sorry, I didn't realize.
Cut the crap!
Giving me the chicken head
on New Year's Eve?
Trying to bring me
bad luck this year?
He didn't mean it.
Can you be more reasonable?
Look at you, you can't even
speak Chinese properly.
You don't even
sound like a Chinese.
Had all the men died out?
Out of all men,
you fall in love with a westerner!
You expect me
to speak in English?
It was you who forced me
to go to England.
So now I've become English.
Isn't that what you wanted?
I've asked you to come back,
but you refused.
And you even continued
to study painting!
Painting?
Guess who brought me
to learn that at the first place?
It was you!
So now everything I do is just
not right in your eyes!
And, getting married
is a matter of prime.
Have I been informed?
The reason why I'm back this time.
Is to tell you about my marriage.
Isn't it too late?
Why don't you tell me when I'm dead?
Stop it, I object!
Mr chicken head.
Hey, come on.
Don't let this get you down.
You said yourself
your dad was a difficult man.
Just look ahead, sweetheart.
Look to the sparkling sea
and the white sand.
We'll find some sweet little
secluded beach somewhere.
You can relax.
And finish off your thesis painting.
This here is just a detour.
You come out! Men and women are
not allowed to be in one room.
What did he say?
And you are not allowed
to enter my room.
Ok, well that is
really old fashion.
Chinese rules.
His rules.
You sleep here.
Don't go upstairs.
I am Low Boon Cheng.
I wish all my classmates
of year 1961...
...from Seng Yok Primary School,...
...have a prosperous year and may
all your dreams come true! Ulala!
Low Boon Cheng?
This Mr Goat Low Cheng Boon.
Is now known as Low Boon Cheng?
You, stop starring at me.
What the hell?
Oh, sh*t!
Thank you, very much.
Uncle Chuan, Happy New Year.
Uncle Chuan, I heard you let off
firecrackers last night.
And it was loud.
Having a westerner
as your son-in-law.
Is a blessing.
Shut up!
Wake up.
It's the first day of Chinese
New Year, you better get up now.
This is for you.
Uncle, Happy New Year!
Bee, Happy New Year.
Auntie Gao, Happy New Year.
Just be frank.
I'm concern about you not being busybody.
loud arguement last night.
You had a fight with your dad?
Because of your wedding?
You shouldn't fight with him,
especially at the reunion dinner
