Will you cover me?

Sure. I'll add it to your tab

Shit!

There is an Asian at the door

No

He is up to 9 grand already

You still playing?

Yeah, I was just thinking if you could...

No more

Please, just let me...

Up! Up!

Sorry guys

See you the next game

Here you're in

He is in big trouble

Good. OK

Giang Wei!

Siao Yu, Siao Yu

Waiting for Giang Wei?

Yeah! Lao Chai

The immigration never checks these things

I know five guys used him

Best of both world. Italian-American husband and Chinese girl. Right?

We handle the paper work, etc

So how much?

25 grand. Just for you

I don't have that much

How much do you have?

Ten thousand...

A little more than ten thousand

See, I am paying these guys too much!

Frank, can you find somebody for ten?

I don't know. 25 is the full price

Well, let me see...

Let me see what I can do, but no promises

Going to work?

Yeah, getting off?

Nice day today

Seems like our neighbour is going to picnic

Why don't we go somewhere later?

I'm so sleepy

Then we'll go when you get up

Do you know how much it costs to get a fake marriage

How much?

Twenty five thousands

Stop kidding. I'd rather go back

Great! Go back! You'll never see me again

I'll think of something

You know, one Green Card will take care of both of us

Why not wait till you finish school and get a job

I'm used to dodging Immigration anyway

I'm used to dodging Immigration anyway

I don't know

I am worried about my scholarship next year

Don't you think I have fish smell all over me?

Really? Let me smell

You can't even wash it off

What are you doing...

Royalty checks, from a book?

From time to time one of them is still in print

Mario Moretti, eh... You're the Mario Moretti who wrote that book...

Uh, what was it?

For Frying Shame, you know the expose of the poultry industry?

One and only

Yeah, and you used to write for the People's Vanguard, right?

You read that?

Yes!

We were both on the side of the good guys, weren't we?

Yeah, I was a radical in Chicago back in 68

But my idealism got me into social work

Anyway... you're not eligible

You turning me down for an 800-dollar-a-month program because

of a couple hundred dollars a year in royalty checks?

Regulations

I knew that when I came in here

Then why'd you come in?

You must have waited three hours just to see me, right?

Tell you the truth I have nothing better to do

Hey, pal, can you spare a cigarette?

Tino!

What the hell are you doing bumming a cigarette...

Mario! I didn't recognize you!

What about that cig?

What about that 20 you owe me?

Give me a cig, I'll buy you a drink

What time is it?

Five minutes after twelve

Good

Since I never drink in the morning

I heard you owe 8 grand to the guy in the club...

Oh yeah!

What else did you hear?

Jesus, I've been trying to kill myself

30, 40 years for these things...

I guess I really went and did it this time

And it's not 8 grand

it's 9

No... Don't worry Things will work out someway... somehow...

Well, at least you're still alive

Nah... I look alive, but I am just happy

That's the difference between you and me I bet

I'm happy and dead

you're unhappy and alive!

Have a nice day

What?

Mario, where is my newspapers?

I don't read newspapers!

What?

What do you want now?

Mike?

What do I want? You're asking me?

I'm flattered

nobody asks me what I want anymore

You know what I mean?

You got a beer or something?

Get me a beer, will ya?

Nothing like a cold beer in the morning

with a pepper omelette, some hash brown

and some toast

It's a great morning drink

You're not joining me?

No, thanks

Have a beer

OK

Shit. Mario, how long has it been?

Since when how long has it been?

Since I broke every bone in your body and I left you to die under Manhattan Bridge

15 years

Goddamn, time flies

You know, I lost my Angie last year

I heard. I'm sorry

Yeah!

She would raise hell if she caught me drinking in the morning

What the hell time is it anyways?

Ah, it's past twelve

So what are you going to do now?

You know I started in 62

I've been killing and breaking balls around here for 33 years

and I only spent three days in jail!

Some fucking record!

Mike, you know me, and Frank knows me

He knows I am good for it It's just a matter of time...

I...

You what?

Jesus, I am about to be killed

and I can't even work up the energy to beg for my life

You know what is funny?

I don't even get the energy to bust you up anymore

You gonna kill me?

You asking me to

Just curious

Look. Mario

I don't know if you want me to shoot you I don't care

I'm getting out of this damn business

You're gonna have to wait a couple of weeks

till Frank gets some new guys to replace me

I tell you what to do

you lay low for a few days. I'll tell Frank I leaned on you a little bit

In the mean time

you try to raise some bread from your friends and relatives, OK?

Thanks, Mike

Sure

Jesus I thought you're going to let me go?

Just a little cosmetics...

in case you attempt to show your face

Ciao

I'm OK... OK

Oh, I forget there's money from over time

Three hundred and fifty for rent

Four hundred for daily expenses

One hundred and fifty for transportation

Here's more

Three hundred fifty is enough for expenses

Then we've got only one hundred and fifty left

How many fish do I have to carry before I make twenty-five thousands

Can't you bargain?

At least get someone cheaper

Where can we find someone cheap in America?

What a deal

You pay off Mario's little debt here

and Mario helps you take care of your immigration problem

As they say in France

Voila, with interest!

This is great!

Congratulations, Giang Wei!

Congratulations!

Let's have a drink to celebrate, huh?

My treat

Hey Boss, everybody's happy

Good

She's your girl, huh?

Yeah

Does she know about this? About me?

Not yet

She'll go along with it?

She has no choice, OK?

Who does?

No, I'm afraid you're going to wreck the bed

You have to remember, you are mine

Rita? Rita!

Yeah, Mario?

Oh, Baby!

Jimmy is no longer with the band

What happened?

He died in Atlanta

We'd played all night

He went to sleep... that was it

It's the best way to go

You should see the new drummer...

He's young enough to be our kid

Yeah... Our kid

Why don't you ever call?

Since when do I call?

God, this place is a dump

No more a dump than it was two years ago

Two years. Two years?

It's over two years since last time you showed up

How long are you in town for this time?

I don't know. Just passing through

What would happen if I'd died while you were out on the road?

C'mon... You die?

Just think

this will all be yours

All this?

You get everything

Isn't that just the best thing about this marriage

Rita

Rita!

Mario! Mario!

Hey, Tino

Maybe I paid off the debt

But I am still as broke as ever so get me back that 20?

Shit

Hi, I am looking for Giang Wei

Giang Wei is here

Hey, we got a problem

Shit!

It's Mario!

Immigration Officers paid him a visit last night

Well that's two visits from our friends at the immigration and naturalization...

and what the fuck do they mean by naturalization?

What the hell is natural about this country? Natural?

But... what have you told them?

Told them?

Giang old boy I'm hiding under the bed again

If they actually get into my apartment

we're all finished, you included

The set only gets channel 4 and channel 7

but don't jiggle this knob too much

or else the sound goes off. Got it?

Here's the telephone

This is bathroom...

It's got the tub, and the shower...

Yeah, it locks

This lock is stuck I'll get you a new one

Dining room, over there's a kitchen

This will be your room

It needs a little cleaning out

The rent is 200 dollars

What?

Wait...

You never said anything about the rent

Damn, this old man is playing games again

We're not going to give him a cent

OK

Then no electricity no gas, no water, no telephone

This is America, right?

I know

Here no money, no talkie

Yeah, but you know the room is very small

So, one hundred dollars

One hundred fifty

One hundred twenty

One hundred forty eight and fifty cents

No, no, one hundred twenty

Your mother's letter?

Why didn't you read it?

Your mother said she has knitted wool underwear for us

If someone is coming she will ask him to bring them over

Wool underwear in America? That's great!

You better write and tell her to unknot

It took her a long time to knit them

You must have told her it's cold over here

What else should I say?

Tell her how miserable you work in the market, it's tired to go to school?

Your mother also asked Did Giang Wei treat Siao Yu well?

It smells so good!

Having lake crab?

Liu Ming is really something Another girl friend

Yeah! Pretty too

Pretty good, so what?

For ten thousand lousy dollars?

Listen, just leave her out of this

Leave her out of this?

What about me? What are we gonna do about our little problem?

Problem? We've been like this for thirty years and now

Jesus Christ, at least you could've told me first

How?

When was the last time you let me know where you were?

Look! Mario I am back

and she cannot be here when I am here

got it?

Does he think I'm as easy to fool as you are

He is wrong

You can't get rid of her so easy now!

Excuse me. Who the fuck are you?

I don't care

if he's married to you or ten other women

We paid ten thousand dollars You understand?

Sure, I am going to pay you back, buster

Otherwise I'll call up the authorities and turn you all in

Big deal!

Thank you

Sorry about that

Sometimes this is the only way to get things done

I got a 2 week gig coming up down at the Gate

Charlie is on drums got a new bass player

Then maybe 2 weeks uptown?

You wanna drink?

Sure, why not?

So you want to talk about the kid?

If I have enough drinks

She didn't put up much of a fight did she?

She is a fighter, in her own way

You love her?

I love you

I just hate myself a little less

You know what I mean?

Mario, you've changed

Change! Change! Unless you are dead

You've changed

you got more lines on your face

Your tits sag more than the last time I touched them

Stop it!

Thank you

Want some dinner?

No, I ate already

I am afraid of the dark too

What are you talking about?

I am afraid of walking in the dark

stepping on dog shit, cat shit all kinds of shit!

Let me do it

No... I got it

One second

8:05

Where's Rita?

Gone. Don't bother to miss her she'll be back

Mrs. Moretti, I wonder if I can borrow 75 cents?

I forgot to bring any change

Sure

OK

Oh, maybe 75 cents for the dryer

I'm sorry, I have only 4 left

Maybe you can put our clothes in my dryer

Great

I see you are reading Mario's book

Yeah

But there's a lot of things I don't understand

Never mind. You don't have to understand

Who does?

Be right there

She here?

Not yet

It's OK, I will wait

You always help him to do his laundry?

No, just incidentally

Does he always cook for you?

This is the first time!

What's the matter?

Nothing, I'm leaving

Giang Wei, call me when you get back!

Those illegal immigrants are really too much

And also those new immigrants

This you have to blame our own country

If our country is good enough who'd want to leave

Stop saying that It is us who is going to lose face

Why you're so excited? Want another drink?

Sure. Shelly, one more found?

No more for me, thanks!

Why not? You won't get drunk by drinking beers, my treat

Just for Giang Wei?

So what?

Shelly, you told me you're from Shanghai

which part of Shanghai?

Which part of Shanghai has nothing to do with you

Tough cookie

Shelly, Where is the toilet?

Follow me

I just can't stand his kind

You should've seen the way he looked when he first arrived

Easy! Lao Chai

Forget about him we can't even look after ourselves

You said the old man is pretty good to Siao Yu...

Good, no good Something's wrong either way

What do you mean?

Do you think Siao Yu will change once she gets her Green Card?

This I cannot tell

When is your wife coming?

Still waiting

You know how they work in China

Still waiting for the government's permission

You are worried by leaving your wife in China

My girl is here but I am also worried

No fucking fun at all

Giang Wei

Shelly, we are leaving

Wait a second I'm getting off in five minutes

You guys are going in the same direction I'm going first

OK, take care

You want another drink?

No. I've had enough

Wait for me

Sure

Is something on fire there?

You need help?

No problem!

What?

Mario, what's the horrible smell?

We are having Chinese food It's home cooking!

Tastes good

Is it too hot for you?

No... No

great, thank you

How do you say thank you in Chinese?

Shieh, shieh

Shieh, shieh

Shieh, shieh. Shieh, shieh

Taste like Italian food

I don't know Chinese eat eggplant

Chinese eat everything

You eat everything?

Monkey's brain?

Snake

Somebody was asking

whether it's because the Chinese people are too poor

so they have to eat everything

or they are too rich

so they know how to make everything into a great dish?

What's wrong?

I didn't know you spoke this much English

I mean it's good

You're bilingual, you speak 2 languages that's great!

I am here. I have to

Why are you here?

Why are you going through all this rigmarole?

For Giang Wei

Just for him?

We grew up together

His mother runs a place

that for children they don't have father and mother...

An orphanage? Are you an orphan?

Yeah, so when Giang Wei came to America

his mother just worried he might marry some American girl

she insisted I come too

She put me into their culture group that can visit overseas

and I just stayed on

Aren't you scared?

No, Giang Wei is here

Aren't you scared they find you and send you back

We've found you

Oh, yeah, sure, great

You've found me at my best time

Oh, that reminds me to pay the rent...

Isn't Giang Wei paying the rent?

No. He has to pay his rent and his tuition

I thought he had a scholarship?

Not enough

We gave you all our savings

Here's one forty dollars

and ninety nine cents...

Forget the 99 cent. That was...

just bad communication... I don't know

How much do you make at that sweatshop?

That depends on how many pieces I make a day

And they pay me less than 10 cents

because I don't have Green Card

Shit!

You know there is an International Ladies Garment Worker's Union

they are supposed to look after people like you

Why don't you organize the Chinese women?

Yeah, and get sent back to China!

Not anymore... You're gonna be an American citizen

You bored?

No

You?

Who? Me?

Hi, Baby

What happened to your hair?

You like my black China-doll wig?

I'm sorry

I forgot, you're still here

I'm going to work. Bye

Bye

So what have you been writing?

Not very much

Just wait and see

Mom'll ask all kinds of questions

You haven't told her yet?

What should I tell her?

Doesn't matter We're not the only one doing it

Forget it

What's there to brag about marrying a sixty year old geezer

Giang Wei

Mario is not bad

He just started to write again

You know, his works have been published before

Write? With a petrified brain

Giang Wei

Why do you always defend him?

He's not a bad person to begin with

Is there something you're not telling me?

No wonder you don't come to see me lately

I waited for you the whole night

the day before yesterday And you never came home

I studied all night at Lao Chai's place

It was too late I went directly to the fish market

What's wrong?

What are you looking at?

You don't believe me?

If you don't believe We can go to ask Lao Chai!

Let's go and ask Lao Chai

Stop crying

People will think I've done something to you

C'mon, don't cry!

Who's this?

Me! I got to go! Open up!

Wait... Wait...

Rita, don't do that next time!

Relax, Sweetie

it's nothing I haven't seen before

What's the hurry anyway?

Stay chat. I don't bite people you know

You haven't slept with him, have you?

What?

I mean, not even a little mercy fuck?

I did a few of those in my day believe it or not?

I don't know what you are talking about

You don't know anything, do you?

I'm really sick and tired of this sweet little act of yours

Yes, please. No, please Thank you. I'm sorry

Don't you play innocent with me

Because I know exactly what you're trying to do

You are just using the old idiot You don't give a damn about him

You know I've been on the road for thirty years

and I've slept around when I had my looks

slept around occasionally now that I don't...

but Mario and I have always been faithful to each other, and you...

do you know what I mean?

I love him. He loves me

I am his wife...

though I've not been much of a wife to him...

but don't you and your boyfriend dare to hurt him

You get your business done and you get out!

You love that boyfriend of yours?

Yes, I love him

Yes

I know

Giang Wei, dinner is ready

Mom, don't worry

Siao Yu and I are alright

Getting a Green Card is a lot of trouble

The envelopes are all for Immigration

I said all the envelopes are for Immigration

An old American guy helped us

This is Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve

he will come down the chimney to bring you presents. This is for you

Say thank you to Auntie

Thank you

Lao Chai. Congratulations to you

I finish this drink for you

OK...

What did your mom say?

What else, it's those envelopes

Come... everybody

I, Lao Chai

I want to really thank everyone here

The three of us

Raise your glass... raise your glass

We have been apart for six long years

What's that for?

All we ever wanted was for us to be together and live a good life

Now that we are together

yet the good life...

But at least spiritually we're no longer Ionely

Though life is hard

we're going to struggle together

All right. That's enough Aren't we together now?

A toast to you all

bottom's up

My wife doesn't know anything Please take care of her

Let's eat

Give me some more drink

You drank too much?

What are you doing?

Locking up the door

Leave it alone. I will do it later

Coming

You said you're going to come last night

What is it?

Someone is inside?

I decide to split with Liu Ming

You know, it is easier to support one than two

And I'm going to move in with my friend tomorrow

The rent there is rather cheap

Here's the address

If you can't find me come look me up at the pub

Mario

Oh, thanks

What are you writing?

Story of Mario

It must be interesting

You think so?

I don't know

But after I read it, I will know

Read it when I finish

Sure

New York is getting warmer today

Tomorrow's temperature will be up to 60'F

This year's winter has gone

You are listening to Star Night in Chinese Channel

It's just that I'd never been really looking

Looking at this thing called emotion

I'd come here without ever suspecting

And given you all my heart and affection

Can anything be made perfectly clear?

You really know what is really true and dear

You may not be my one and only one lover

Though I once did need your support and all

I know your love for me is true

I won't, I didn't and I can't forget

But don't hold me too tight in your hand

I long to breathe freely in this land

Sky over here is so beautiful, open and wide

So just let me make my own decisions and choices

Excuse me, Siao Yu

Siao Yu

Siao Yu

Siao Yu? Siao Yu!

Auntie, what's he to Siao Yu?

How come it's a foreigner?

Doesn't she have a young boyfriend?

He's old, even older than you

Don't you have better things to do than minding other peoples' business?

Haven't you seen a foreigner before?

I just got a notice from immigration

our appointment is on Monday

I thought you would want to know right away

We got lots of work to do

It's over there. That's the one

Siao Yu likes to go there

because the owner is from Hong Kong... no, Shanghai

Right

and he gives you a discount

Hi

Hi

So you take English class 3 times a week

and you work overtime 3, 4 days a week...

What else do you do?

I go to Giang Wei's apartment

No, I can't tell them you go to Giang Wei's apartment

What else did you do?

I walk

You walk?

Because I have no money to do anything else...

But I'd like to see a Broadway show someday

That's very expensive

Hey... fuck you, man... Do you mind?

How do you say... a swear word a bad word

when you're mad at somebody in Chinese?

Ta-ma-der

Say it again

Ta-ma-der

Ta-ma-der

There was great there're bands playing

politicians making speeches they launched right there

And you went there too

No! I'm not that old

My trouble is too young for Woodstock

too old for the Lincoln brigades...

but I used to know a lot of those guys

used to play cards with a couple of them like Tino

The real anti-facists They didn't just talk

but picked up guns and went over to Spain and traded shots...

they lost

Come back, some of them

drank and gambled with me

and told some pretty tall tales

you wish you went with them

Yeah, sure. But then I'd have been too old to marry you

for what it's worth...

so, was I worth the price?

Don't talk like that

I'll pay you back when I can

I mean it

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry, OK...

I am not sorry!

That's right! Remember that

you're not sorry!

I'm gonna fix myself some supper...

they're probably having a champagne dinner somewhere

You want something?

No

No?

How about "No, thank you"?

No, thank you

You're a very polite young man

Just shut up!

Shut up please!

Can you say "please"?

Please

A little gratitude could be shown here you know

my husband is helping you and girlfriend get your citizenship here

Right. After we all go to jail

Not me pal...

I've got nothing to do with it!

What? What's going on? What?

Did you hear something?

Hi

Hello, Mr. Moretti and Mrs. Moretti

I thought we heard some voices inside

Hi, there, you two are finally home!

Excuse me...

Please come in

What's the matter with you?

That's Mr. Moretti's cousin, right?

Yes

How did you meet Mr. Moretti?

Through a friend

What's the friend's name?

The name is John Waine. John Waine

She needs to sober up

You are doing this deliberately aren't you?

You want me to go to jail?

Help! Fire! Rape!

Oh, come on, any fool can see through you

You live here?

I used to live here until she moved in

Mario, look at this mess!

What happened to us?

Can I speak to you alone?

I must apologize She's had too much to drink

Maybe you should talk to my wife She specks Chinese...

Siao Yu...

I don't speak Chinese

Just tell me is she your cousin or your lover

What's the difference?

Excuse me!

Don't you see what's going on around here?

I love him, I am just jealous!

But that's my problem

Not his fault, not her fault

Ciao Baby!

I'd like to remind you not to forget your interview on Monday

We won't

If you don't mind

I would like to take a look at your bedroom. Is this it?

It's a real mess...

You should see my bedroom

Well, have a good evening

Goodnight

Giang Wei! How come you are here?

I've been waiting for you for fucking hours

And I had to wait outside

Where did you go with the old man?

We're discussing the interview

Why can't you do it here?

You didn't go to work now?

What the hell is going on here with you two?

I am asking you, what is going on between you two?

I don't know what you're saying

but you better say it nicely, OK?

Fuck you!

Giang Wei! You crazy?

Are you ok? Mario?

Alright...

Sure?

I'm ok, sure

Mario

here's your 20 and 75 cents

75 cents? I don't charge interest

I borrowed it from your wife She's a good kid

You borrowed it? C'mon where did you get your 20 dollars?

From baby-sitting

Baby-sitting? Who would ask you to baby-sit?

You'd be surprised

See you. Tino

What are you talking about?

I'll be out of here first thing in the morning

I do travel for a living, you know that don't you?

Pappy, where is my big bag?

I can't go back to Mario

But he needs you

You gotta be kidding. Honey

I guess he's never told you about us

We got married on Monday

on Tuesday he goes to prison for 3 goddamn years

as a conscientious objector

objecting to whatever the hell war it was... the Korean...

No, as a matter of fact, it was Vietnam

Anyway, from then on I started to travel

I never bothered to let him know where I was

We never really needed each other

we just think we're still in love you know

time passes, people get that way

all of a sudden love exits you don't know why

You know what I mean?

Christ, what do you know about life?

I know

You do

I know you care about him

Don't worry. He is going to be OK!

He's a tough guy

He's been knocked around few times

You just make sure the man you love stays away from your husband

Your husband, too

Come here

How old are you?

Twenty four

Jesus, twenty-four!

Disgusting

Youth is certainly disgusting

Hey Pappy, I need that bag

Better hurry and change

We are going to be late for the interview

I am not going

What?

I don't want to go to the interview

What happened?

What the hell happened?

Mario, I think Giang Wei is cheating on me, he is...

I don't know why I am getting a Green Card?

So you don't want to go?

Ok, that's your decision, we won't go

Mario, you're not helping me

What do you mean I'm not helping you?

I respect your decision but not Giang Wei's

So if you don't want to go, we won't go

And maybe it's time for you to also learn

to respect yourself a little more

It's your life

Congratulations!

Thank you, Mario

This boyfriend of yours...

You gonna forgive him?

Forgive him

No

Do you love him?

Yes, you love him

Yes

Good. Pretty soon you're gonna marry him

No

Yeah. It's just like me and Rita

I loved her so much...

but I was too young

too immature to appreciate it

And now

it's too late

You better move back tomorrow

I've had enough of this fish smell

We can look for a better job

Giang Wei, do you or don't you believe there's nothing between Mario and I?

Let's forget it. It's all over anyway

How can you say that?

What do you mean?

So there is really something between you and the old man

No, what I mean is

if we're going to be together

we got to trust each other, right?

Do you know how I managed to live through these past months?

Everything is messed up

The more you care for that old man

The more lousy I feel

Mario is old enough to be my father...

C'mon

Let's not mention this again

What's wrong with you?

Pretty soon we'll forget everything

Really?

I thought you are sleeping

I was

Are you alright?

I'm tired

I'll make you dinner You want Chinese or Italian?

No, I'm not hungry

Mario, I'm moving out tomorrow

I see you are cleaning up your place

let me help you to finish it

Mario, remember?

You promised me I can read your book when you finish it

Can I keep one of these?

What happened, Mario?

I think my feet fell asleep

OK! Try to stand up. C'mon, try to sit...

Let's try again, C'mon, come on

No, I can't...

I'm OK. Just need some rest

No! You're not OK. You could...

maybe it's a stroke

No, I just need to...

No! Siao Yu, don't!

No! Siao Yu, don't call

They're gonna take me to hospital

I don't want to be there alone

Just leave me here, I'm OK

Just leave me a minute Just give me a minute

Good morning

Good morning

Excuse me, you're all packed to go?

Mario

I feel a lot better

I think I am going to call some friends...

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yeah

I'd love a cup of coffee

and a newspaper

If I ever needed a friend...

Yes, Mario, I am your friend... I am always your friend

I'm just around the corner Be there in two minutes

Giang Wei. Mario is sick
