No, I don't

It's this one

You look so different now

It's our high school graduation portrait

You two have been dating since then?

Then you two broke up?

- May I have it please?

- Ok

Just a minute

You sure you still want it?

Hold on

Forget it then, thank you

The stock market is like women

Some are flat and calm

While some are perky and crazy

It's time for me, Master Lok,

to update you about the stock market

Stock Market Jerk!

Hello, fellow jerks!

I'm back from my long break

To all the jerks out there

For the time that I've been gone

Have you ever wondered that

Perhaps I've been kidnapped?

All tied up, with nowhere to go?

I'm just kidding

Before we start

Let's watch this week's recap

Here we go!

Mr. Chan

Mr. Chan

Just a sec!

- Want your portrait taken?

- No

- You know him?

- I'm his girlfriend

You wanna take wedding photos?

Have you set a date yet?

I'm Monica Lo from Sun Sun Property

My colleague came...

Many of your colleagues came

Did you bring a gun this time?

I'm gonna call the police

I think there's been a misunderstanding

My colleague, Kin, told you that

We can indeed raise the payment

You can find a better place

for your business, right?

Why don't you acquire a better place then?

It's all the same

My dad spent an entire week

on these photographs

He only charged around $2,000

Do you think this is just about 'business'?

Have you heard of the phrase,

'money can't buy everything'?

If you haven't, then go back

and ask your boyfriend what it means

- Just go

- Mr. Chan...

Here, this is for you

Free of charge

It's been days

Have you really thought about it'?

Have you considered whether

what you did was right or not?

You didn't!

In your world, there's only money and women

And those stupid stocks

That's enough. I was happily living my life

But you appeared and turned it upside down!

I'm your dad after all

Don't use this kind of tone

You're not qualified to be my dad!

You didn't want me in the first place!

You're right; I'm not fit to be your dad.

Why did you bother asking me

those questions then?

Having an abortion isn't a big deal,

it is what it is.

Yes, I've let your mom down

But I gave her money for the abortion!

But she didn't go forward with it

I can sue her for fraud

I do feel guilty about it, but so what?

Listen carefully

I've let your mom down by

asking her to get an abortion

But I haven't let you down!

If you have any questions,

Go back and ask her yourself!

This is none of my business,

I didn't give birth to you. She did!

She let you down, not me!

This is not my problem, okay?

Thank you for your answer

I'm off

- Hi

- Hi

Come on in

Would you like some tea?

No, thanks

I packed everything in here, have a look

Sorry, I have to take this call

Okay, bye

Well? Everything's in order?

I think so

Did you check the bedroom?

I might've forgotten to pack some stuff

Don't leave your bras here

You'd say that I still owe you

Wait,

there's one more thing.

Our Neo-print photo

I'll do it, I've got longer fingernails

There are more

I'll just give you my wallet

I don't want it

I don't wanna owe you anything

When the filming is over

We can go our separate ways

Give me a hand and unlock this

Why do you have this thing?

She must've left it behind

Could be useful for my wife

You use it to listen to a baby's heartbeat

You didn't make

your own daughter pregnant, did you?

Stupid girl! Where did you go?

Stupid girl!

Hin and Wing, the director

changed the script

Please go through it first

- Thank you

- Thank you

Was it you?

No

You told the director about the incident?

I just mentioned it to him

He asked me why we started

dating immediately after

We bumped into each other,

after losing contact for so long

So I told him about

The incident that happened right

before we lost contact

That's quite true

If you hadn't done such a silly thing

I wouldn't have been with you

We lived in public housing back then

Where did you get the money

To buy the star lights?

What do you mean, 'buy'?

Back then, every year after Christmas

I knocked on people's doors

and asked them to give them to me

I've been saving them

from 5th grade to 11th grade

That was how I got so many lights

You never told me that

If I had told you,

Then you would've known that

I loved you more than you loved me

You said that if I hadn't

done this back then

We wouldn't have gotten together?

Why was that?

Because I believed that

We had a future

And as long as we were together,

We could get out of there one day

Have our own home

Would you like to go on

that path with me again?

There you are

Where's my make up pouch and cell phone?

Are you pregnant?

So what if I am?

Tell me who the bastard is!

I'm gonna beat him up right now

Who are you to beat him up?

You're worse than he is!

I'm your father

If I can't beat him up, then who can?

Kenny is my classmate

Unlike you, he has a

sense of responsibility

He didn't tell his girlfriend

to get an abortion

He says that he loves and wants to marry me

Mom isn't objecting

So, what's the problem?

I listen to the baby's

heartbeat all the time

And I keep asking myself,

'what is it, really?'

I just don't know

Because I don't even know what I am

How can I be a mother?

How can I love the baby?

That doesn't matter

You don't need to know everything

before you do it

I thought only mom didn't understand

Turns out you're the same

It's not about whether I

understand you or not

You should've been honest with me

If I were honest,

then you lose your objectivity

You asked me

why I had your mom go for an abortion

Did you want me to make the decision

for you about an abortion?

I was just thinking to myself,

Whether I could get any inspiration

from such a wicked father

It would help me with my decision

I'm fine now

I don't want him to blame me a decade later

Hey listen, I was just bullshitting

Give me another chance

to tell you how I feel

Can you do that?

- Sure! "Existence precedes Essence"

- What?

Didn't you always ask,

"Why am I in this world?"

"Who am I?"

These questions aren't for the heavens

"There is life because

there is a will to live"

Whatever path you want to take,

and whatever you want to do,

ls entirely up to you.

There is no right or wrong

The philosopher, Nietzsche said,

It wasn't Nietzsche

- It was Kant...

- Why are you so worried?

Who else should I be worried about?

I worry about you because

you're so annoying

I can see my younger

self when I look at you

Your mom's calling

Mom doesn't know that I've come back

She thought I went on

holiday with my classmate

Mr. Yu Wai Man

I, Monica Lo, hereby propose to you

Will you give me your hand in marriage?

And allow me to be part of your future?

You don't have to accept me, or reject me

Yes, you're right

One can't calculate love

I shouldn't have done that

You did so much when you proposed to me

I was truly touched

Two people being together,
