Where to?

It's my first time in Hong Kong

Please take me to Clearwater bay Road, sector 1314

Hey pal, where's sector 1314?

Over there

Would you know where Kwok Nan Cheung lives?

From what I know it's just graves there, no houses

Really?

What's wrong?

The car wouldn't go

Please walk the rest of the way, 20 dollars please

C'mon, be quick

I must hurry on to make a buck

How can sector 1314 be here?

Miss

Are you alone?

I...

What do you want?

Oh, just to flirt with you

Help...

It's no use resisting

Help...

What are you doing?

Go, quick

Scram, or I'll call the police

Get lost, scoot

Are you all right?

Thank you for saving me

I've just arrived here, it's so scary

Have you come from elsewhere?

I just came from Taiwan

Get in the car quickly

You've come to find your younger sister?

Yes, someone called Kwok Nan Cheung

... brought her to Hong Kong to sing

Since then we've had no news of her

Your sister sings?

Yes, In Taipei we sang together

... and are known as the Canary sisters

Canary Sisters?

I seem to have heard the name

In our circle

People say you're good singers

So kind of you

May I ask you are...

I am Wang Tak Sang the composer

and I work in a music company

Hong Kong is a small place

I think we can locate your sister

I'll help you

Thank you

I still haven't asked you your name

I am Yau Suk Man

Miss Yau, where do you want to go?

Firstly I'm looking for a decent place to stay

Would you know any ?

Is there a cheap apartment?

Then come to my place

Eh?

No, don't worry

On our 7th floor is an apartment for ladies

and there's even a singer among them

Guess it would help in searching for your sister

Thank you so much

Come

Here we are

May Ah Apartment

All beautiful ladies

Mr Wang

Siu Ting, how's your quest for 'black belt' goin' ?

You can't do that merely by reading books

I need a partner to practise

... but they are all ladies here

Is Mrs. Chan here?

Yes

Mom, Mr Wang from 6th floor is here for you

Mrs. Chan

Tommy is always bothering you

Is there anything I can do for you?

I've come to introduce a tenant to you

Hi

Your girlfriend?

No, she's come from Taipei to look for her sister

She's very nice

Room 7 is vacant

But I tell you

we're off limits to men

They can't come in here

And you're no exception

I know

Here's the luggage

Give it to me

Thank you, Mr Wang

You're welcome

I'm on the 6th floor, one floor below you

You may call me if you need anything

Did you want to crawl up here?

I'm not that sort of person, don't worry

Don't worry? I hung out my underwear to dry

... and it's gone in no time

You simply can't relax with men around

Good bye

Please come in

What's your name?

I'm Yau Suk Man

How old are you?

Twenty

Tommy, why are you here?

I've come to get the box

You're a guy so you can't come in here

You see

Even my son isn't allowed

So don't think of bringing your boyfriend

Your profession is...

None yet, I've just arrived

200 dollars per month, can you afford it?

Yes

I'll show you the room

Are you going out?

Let's go

Let me introduce you

This is our new tenant

She is in room 7

Erin works in a coffee shop

It's on Nathan Road, come around when you have time

This is Ma Chi... works in a beauty parlour

Come to our place for a shampoo

Thank you

Mrs. Chan, come quickly

What's the matter?

Come

Look

What are they doing

What are you doing?

Stealing underwear

I'm going to the police

If you continue this way, I'll not let you go

Shameless

These men are mad

you must be careful

Laura, this is your new neighbour

Miss Yau

Hello

Hi

She works in a jewelry store

This is your room

This is it

Take off your clothes

What?

I want to see if you're a woman

You should know by looking at me

No

A girl here once ...

brought her boyfriend in here and ...

I only discovered that when I checked her underwear

Please don't

Sorry, I have to do this

What a nerve !

Really a woman

Sorry, tidy your room

and I'll introduce you to other tenants

Hello, George

Last night was real fun

I just got up

I dreamt of you last night

I haven't had lunch yet

Can you treat me?

After that we can go for a ride

... then go to a night club

How about that?

You've already got me

... why bother with this slut?

What are you doing? This is from the boss to me

Damn you, don't forget

... it was I who introduced you to the club

So what?

I'm younger and prettier

And sing better than you

Damn bitch, asking for it

You hit me

What are you doing? Stop

Stop fighting

Stop fighting

Fighting at such an age; outrageous !

Stop fighting

Stop fighting

Stop

Stop fighting

What are you doing?

Beat her...

Stop, Betty

Stop, mom

This is a ladies apartment

No fighting here

All right, let it go

I beg of you

we're all living together, why quarrel?

She took my lover

The boss dotes on me, what can I do about it?

Shameless

Who are you calling shameless

Stop it...

Let it be

Stop fighting

Come, sit down

Let me make an introduction

This is our new tenant Yau Suk Man

This is Miss Lily of Room 3

Hello

Miss Lulu is a singer in a nightclub

This is her daughter Jenny

And this is ...

My name is Betty, room 5

I work at the same nightclub as Lulu

She just stand behind me playing Maracas

I would replace you as the leading singer soon

and you play the Maracas

I'd rather die then

Let me tell you

Betty takes whatever she can lay her hands on

You'd better be careful

Mom

They are all uneducated

So, don't blame them

I work as a secretary

Our manager works at night, so I ...

sleep during the day and go to work in the evening

What secretary, she's a whore

My friends are all big bosses

What's the matter?

I was sound asleep ...

and you woke me up

Men like to fondle girls

What a nuisance !

Let me introduce you

This is Cora who works in a travel agency

This is Nancy who teaches Japanese

This is our new tenant Miss Yau Suk Man

I also work night shift so I sleep during the day

I am a private tutor

Let me tell you, men are so low

You let them have their way a little

they'll give you tips immediately

Who hasn't yet been introduced?

Oh ... No. 6

It's Winnie

This is the new-comer

My name is Winnie

I'm studying classical dance

Good ... go find a fool

Laura, come and listen to this

Just now Lulu fought with Betty

And that too on account of men

Irresponsible, selfish

I hate men

So men are forbidden to come in here

Whoever brings her boyfriend here ...

got to to move out immediately. Understand?

Yes

She hates men? If she didn't have a relationship ...

with a man how'd she have Tommy !

The world becomes more interesting with men

Right

Mrs. Chan must have been ...

bullied by Tommy's father before

That's why she hates men

I think so too

If not, she wouldn't hate men so much

... right?

Hey, where do you work ?

I've come from Taipei to look for my sister

Your sister?

My sister came to Hong Kong three months ago

... and I haven't heard from her since

Her name is Yau Suk Wai

Have you heard this name before?

No...

There's someone by the name of Kwok Nan Cheung

Do you know him ?

Kwok Nan Cheung?

Do you know him?

Haven't heard of this name

Did that Kwok bring your sister here?

My sister is 18

Skinny, and looks a bit like me

If you see her, please let me know

I believe this Kwok fellow has deceived her

I don't know, it might be so

What a rogue !

Usually it is the woman who cheats the man

You're so beautiful and have a great body

If you're willing to mix with others, you'll make it big

... and mesmerize lots of men

Yes, are you willing to strip?

Strip?

Yes, strip-tease dancing

Hiding the places ...

where men like to look at

It's all bullshit about so-called classical dancing

She's a stripster

Is your mom going out tonight?

She's going to play mahjong

Then you can come out

I'm inviting you for a dinner in your welcome

If it's okay step thrice on the floor-Tak Sang

I'll see you in my room at 8 o'clock

It's the young composer on the 6th floor

That's great

Tired & so withered !

Who has made you so tired ?

It's that about-to-wilt winter plum

or the rose yet to bloom

Who... who is it ?

Who has hurt you !

Hey, long time no see

Even if you shed tears ...

Welcome, come inside

Mr Chan?

Over there

Man, I envy you

Such luck with women !

But roses have thorns

and I've been wounded all over

I'm willing to be pricked by such thorns

Mr Chan, you have a way with words

Please sit for while

What a funny man !

Wish I had known him sooner

He is a well-known playboy

You ought to be careful, don't be fooled

Charming, enchanting

Where does that true love exist

If you keep on being stubborn

you'll just add more wrinkles

Lulu is getting old

Better find somebody else to sing

You want to get rid of your good friend?

I'm getting a bit fed up

Ask her to come and see me later

George

Hello brother Ng, what's up

Miss Ting Lien, you look very pretty tonight

Thank you

You've got new company every night

Man, what luck with women

Can't you be more serious?

Are you in the mood for a game tonight ?

Playing cards?

Alright. I've to win back all that I've lost to you

I lose every time. How can that be?

Boss, tonight too ...

you've come with a beautiful lady

Of course

You know, all my life I've lived just for women

Come earlier tonight

Doing your homework? Work harder

You're going out?

Bye

I'm coming

You are...?

My name is Winnie, don't you know me?

I often see you in the lift

I little expected you'd invite me to dinner

Can we go now?

No... have some respect

Enjoy yourself when you are still young

don't be too serious

I ...

Come on, come ...

Why aren't you coming?

Here, let me show it to you

You know how to do that?

Of course; throw harder

Good ...

Then I'll pull him up again

Are you alright?

What's the matter?

You have to go out?

Mr. Wang downstairs has asked me out to dinner

Mr. Wang?

Really?

Mr. Wang is a very good composer

You should avail this opportunity

Tommy, how did you get in here?

Mommy's not at home

What will the world become ...

if there are no men in this world?

You should get some rest

Don't pick on me

What did you say they do on their date?

They must have kissed

Oh... kissed?

Help, no ...

Miss Yau, she... I...

You dated me, and dated her too?

Miss Yau, don't get me wrong

Look

Is this the letter you gave me?

This is the first time ...

I've ever been fooled

Tough luck

What?

Want me to play?

If the customers don't like your singing

... you could be asked to leave

Now, for the sake of our friendship

I'll let you replace Betty

and you can get half the salary too

Is Betty taking my place?

That's what I meant

How can you say that

When I was famous

who was it to accost me daily ...

with sweet words?

That's in the past, lady

I quit

I'd rather die than play

Betty, from now on

you are officially the singer here

George, how are you

is everything all right tonight?

No problem

I've made arrangements with Ding Lien

When I teamed up with her last time

... didn't you win some money?

How will you repay me this time?

I've made preparations, miss

Boss

It's rude to barge in without knocking

With our kind of relationship need I still knock?

She's beautiful and so young

no wonder Lulu's been replaced

George, I tell you

I won't be like Lulu

Relax

So you have a thing with that dancer

It's just for fun

whereas my heart is yours

Careful

If you dump me like Lulu

I won't take it kindly

I'll chop you to pieces

When a woman talks like that

she's at her charming best

No mistakes this time

I'm sorry that damn paper plane flew off the course

I'll play you a song as an apology- Tak Sang

Life is like a boat

Though everyone rows at different speeds

If they sail toward the right direction

... one is soon bound to be ashore

Life is like a boat

Forever rocking amongst the mighty tide

If only we could steady the boat

I'll kiss you too

How? I don't know how to

Me neither

Even facing the storm and huge waves

You don't have to panic

Just face it bravely

Sailing across the big ocean

Life is like a boat

we're adrift everywhere

All one asks is to be able to settle down

The waves splash...

Why does he play this song?

Mr Wang, how come you play this song?

How come you know how to sing it?

It was written by my father

I often sang it with my sister back in Taipei

Where did you learn it?

Strange, musicians like us ...

always jot down a good rhythm

I'll try to think where I heard it

Think carefully

It's the only lead to my sister

Strange, it wasn't through radio broadcast

... nor TV;

Where did I hear it?

Why can't I remember?

Mom, what's wrong?

Wine...

Aunty

Quick, bring the wine

Aunty, you're drunk

Sit

Betty, she's no match for me

Yes

Are my songs not popular?

Why is she drunk like that?

I don't know either

Help her into the room

Although we roll at different paces

This song is...

Mom always sings it

with the right direction

we'll reach the shore

Life is like a boat

The song is from Taiwan

How come your mom knows it?

Maybe she heard it in the club

I'm still young, I won't lose out to her

with the right direction

we'll reach the shore

Mom...

Listen, the higher the better the cards

Touching the head means royal flush

Touching the hair means straight flush

The brow means 4 of a kind

The nose means full house

Putting on lipstick is...

Putting on lipstick is straight

Touching the ear ring is 3 of a kind

Watch or bracelet is two pairs

Ring is a pair

My share is ten per cent

Don't forget

Four hundred

How much? Four hundred

I'll follow

Me again

How much?

Still four hundred

Great

More bets

Five hundred

I'll follow

Straight

You got a pair, I got straight

Eight hundred more

Boy, Brandy

I'll follow

Six hundred more

Bets please

Six hundred here, show hand

Good

I've lost

Get more chips

From now on, our chips will double

Right

No problem I'll win back all in a hand

You're good, feels good

Stop hassling me

What a nuisance

Keep me company when you get off work, OK?

I don't like scumbags like you

What's the big deal

You still owe me money from last time

Why bring up money? We're old friends

Who are you calling old friends, come in quickly

Bastard

Why do you hit me? Laura

Feels good

Why use so much force?

Laura

Why don't you introduce me to a good one?

You want a good one ...

yet you don't have a cute face

nor are you willing to pay

No one wants you

I'm ugly ?

Of course, you being such a coyish kind of guy

I think you should face the reality

No one likes guys like you

How can you say that ?

If you want a woman ...

you'll have to spend more money

I'll spend when it's worth my while

but you must get me a beautiful chick

Then where's my commission?

I'll pay you for sure

Right then, you pay up your old debts first

You owe me a hundred

Repay that first

... then I'll get you a good looking one

Sorry, I forgot my money

I'll clear everything next time

Quit pretending

I am not buying that

You either say you've lent money to friends

... or that you lost it in mahjong

It's all lies

It's scorching, let me out

Don't blame me for consequences if you break your word

Laura, I really don't have the money

If you think it's not hot enough

... I can still turn it up

Please, don't turn it up

Are you going to pay?

Laura, I really don't have the money

I really don't

I'll get it myself

Laura, don't search my clothes

My wallet

Did you say you haven't got the money?

That's not my money

Who cares. I'll take it

If you don't give me the money

... I won't let you out

Alright. I'll give it to you

You're giving it out of your own will

It's scorching

You deserve it

Good morning, Mrs. Chan

Good morning

Where's Lulu?

They work at night

and now they're fast asleep

Have some breakfast

I'll go and see her

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Who is it?

It's me, Suk Man

Feeling better?

I still have a headache

Jenny told me ...

it was you who took care of me last night

Thank you

Don't mention it. Where's Jenny?

Gone to school

She'll graduate next year

I'd rather sacrifice myself ...

so she could finish her secondary

It's really hard for you

Where's your husband?

He died ten years ago

It's been a hard life after he passed away

I feel that women have to depend on men

Unfortunately, none of the men I met

... were good ones

I feel that I am destined

... to lead a hard life

Let me ask you something

When you were drunk last night

... you were singing a song

Where did you learn it?

What song?

Life is like a boat

Though we roll at different paces ...

The music score was given to me by the manager

He said the song was very popular in Taiwan

Is your manager called Kwok Nan Cheung?

No, he's called Tam Shun

What's the matter?

I used to sing with my sister in Taipei

and heard that middle-aged Kwok

was very smart

He brought my sister to sing in Hong Kong

Would he be your manager?

No

Our manager ...

looks like a woman, quite effeminate

He's quite narrow-minded

So how come he's got the music score?

If guests make a special request

... we'll write to Taiwan to get it

Sorry to bother you

Please wait for a while more

No problem

Have a seat

-Good morning -Mornin'

A dollar twenty for breakfast

Two dollars for lunch and dinner

I heard you're looking for your sister

What's her name?

Her name is Yau Suk Wai

Yau Suk Wai?

How old is she?

Eighteen this year

Do you know her?

A new colleague at our company is also named Yau

... and should be around that age

Really?

We also have a Suk Wai

but her surname is Wang

Oh, Wang?

Maybe she changed her name

You should go and take a look

Right

I'll show you

Come in

Miss Yau, please come

Come here

It's you

What's your name?

Mei Ling

What's the matter?

We thought you were her sister

Right, now that I think of it

... she never said her sister has freckles

Come, she's over there

Suk Wai, come and see if it's your sister

Elder sister?

I have ten younger sisters

... but no elder sister

Ten younger sisters?

What's so strange about that ?

My mom on average gave birth to 2 babies in 3 years

... and in one year she had twins

Your parents are really productive

Is it her?

No

Miss Yau

Mr Wang

You're here too?

They brought me here to look for my sister

... but I couldn't find her

That shouldn't be a problem

You will find her sooner or later

It's just your first day here

But I haven't got a clue

That's really worrying

Don't worry, there must be a lead

That's the song

I thought about it last night

Life is like a boat

and couldn't think of where I heard it

Now even this clue is gone

Lulu also sings this song

I heard she learned it from a night club

Night Club? Night Club

Right

A girl introduced by a night club to do recording

... also sings it

Really?

Our company has a recording of her, let's go

The heart...

No

Not this one

Miss Yau

Listen to it again

...in my heart...

Right, right

that's my sister's voice

Rewind and listen again

Good, good

Referred by the manager of the Golden Dice Night Club

... featuring Miss Yau

Golden Dice?

That's where Lulu sings

Good, let's find out

Who wants me?

These two

What do you want with me?

Are you Manager Tam?

Yes, I'm Tam Shun

Looks like a woman

quite effeminate

So you're the one Lulu talked about

Be careful what you say

I'm from May Dao Records Company

Mr Tam, 3 months ago ...

you recommended a Miss Yau for recording

Miss Yau, I...

She's my sister

who's come from Taiwan; somewhat lank ...

and should be eighteen years old

I don't know her

But you introduced her for the recording

Maybe it's my old friend

... using my name

Is there a Kwok Nan Cheung among your friends?

Kwok Nan Cheung?

I don't have such a friend

Maybe someone is using my name as ...

I'm quite well-known in the entertainment industry

If you wish to be a star

... or a singer

It's best to let me introduce you

I'll ensure everything is OK

In this circle it's who you know, that matters

Miss Yau, are you ...

If you have any news please let me know

My name is Yau Suk Man

I live on the 7th floor of the Kwong Wah Building

Sure, of course

May Ah Apartments

Yes, please

Come by some time

Good bye

What? May Ah Apartments ?

Isn't that where Laura lives?

Hey, I'm Laura. Is that you?

What? I can't call you?

Listen, can you do me a favour?

Is there a tenant by the name of Yau?

Can you think of something for me please?

How much commission can you pay me?

You'll have to pay whether or not it works out

If you promise to pay ...

I'll think of something for you

Good

Has Miss Yau gone out?

Yes, very early

You practise everyday?

Yes, I'm going for the black belt grading soon

Do you want to practise with me?

You're not scared? I won't be responsible if I hurt you

I'm not afraid

Hold this, and put your leg over here

How's my Judo?

You should be able to handle a couple of guys

You're a long way from me

What's the matter?

She shouldn't have ...

thrown me while I wasn't aware

You better hurry back to your room

Your mom will soon return

Lulu, I heard you've resigned

I've lost my job

all because of a slut

Once a girl starts to age ...

she'll lose love, youth, beauty and her job;

All that's left will be wrinkles

That's God's will

Look, George gave me this

Don't let it go to your head

you'll end up like me one day

That's why I need to make more money while I'm still young

Betty

where's the share from last night?

You won four thousand, right?

I want ten percent

George only gave me two hundred

We'll split equally, here's your share

One hundred? George is real mean

I'll make my debut tonight

I'll put on a good show

Have you found your sister?

Not yet

I've been looking everywhere too

A client said he might have seen her

Really?

Yes, he'll come to see me

This is my address, please come

Turkish bath house

Would you please sing that song again ?

She's not in?

What's the matter?

Is Laura in please?

Oh, you're Miss Yau

Yes

Room 5 over there

Thanks

Why that long ?

Oh, here she is

Miss Yau

It's you?

Where's Laura?

She's gone out with a client

Miss Yau, I really miss you

now we can have some fun

Mrs. Chan, has Laura returned?

Not yet, what did you want with her?

Nothing

Mr Wang

Laura asked her to the bath house

to introduce someone to her

Laura asked her?

I find it strange too

What's up?

I tell you

she works at the Turkish bath house

Turkish bath house

No...

Let me kiss you

What do you want with me?

Why have you come here?

Didn't you want money?

Look, I've got money

Don't insult me

Really, you would refuse even money?

I came here because Laura told me

you know where my sister is

I haven't come for the money

Only I know where your sister is

Really?

Let me kiss and I'll tell you

On the referral of that night club's boss I ...

introduced your sister to the recording company

Oh, your boss?

As to what happened after the audition

... I'll tell you by and by

Come, let me kiss you

Please tell me where is Miss Yau

Room 5 over there

What are you doing?

What do you want?

Tak Sang

Don't misunderstand

My intentions for her are honourable

But she doesn't understand me

I swear I haven't done anything to her

Good bye

Hey, come back... you want to leave?

What do you want?

I'm so happy today

My performance was successful

There were 53 customers, you know !

Some customers even came backstage to meet me

I'm so thirsty

Have some tea

Thanks

George really liked my singing

He said if he had known earlier I was so good

... he would have given me the lead role

Thank you so much today

Good bye

He said as from tomorrow

I should sing and dance

I said I don't know how to dance

and he said it doesn't matter

because I'm young, I just have shake my hips a little

... and the customers will be happy

Why are you so happy?

Wait

Lulu

Poison

It's late, what are you quarreling about?

Sorry

I accidentally smashed the tea kettle

Be careful next time, tidy up quickly

Yes

Lulu, you...

Mom, what's the matter?

Nothing, I'm just talking to your mom

It's OK, go back to bed

-Go to sleep -Go

-Go quickly -Go

That's right

I want to kill Betty, I hate her

She took my job and George

Who's George?

Our boss

A middle-aged playboy

Middle-aged playboy?

He goes after any beautiful girl

... and dumps one when he meets another

I know I'll be dumped sooner or later

But for the sake of my job

... I had to be close to him

Little did I expect Betty would take him away from me

Could he have taken my sister ?

Now that I recall ...

The music score was given to me by George

Yes, I heard that too

he brought over a singer from Taiwan

So George may be Kwok Nan Cheung

... and the Taiwan singer may be my sister

Is she still working at the night club?

No

She knew George has many girl friends

... and left really pissed off

Oh!

There's no more news of her since

Is there any way to find out?

Do you know how to sing?

Yes, I sang in Taipei

That's good

You can sing at the Golden Dice Night Club

Betty has been singing there since I left

I'm sure you can oust Betty

... and take the lead role

Will they hire me?

Don't worry

George will do anything once he sees a pretty girl

You can use this weakness against him

But I don't know how to

That's easy, put on your make-up

Let him hear some sweet words

... and he'll take the bait

Also, put on a beauty spot

... and wear a low-cut dress;

You know, which shows cleavage

He likes sex-bomb type hot girls

For the sake of your sister

... you must give it a try

Lulu, you're here too?

Excuse me please

Lulu, how are you?

I'm a guest here today

Right, let me play host tonight

Please introduce this beautiful lady

... to me

This is my friend Miss Yau

He is George, boss of this joint

Hello

Of all the ladies I know

... you're most beautiful

Thank you

Really beautiful

Could be fragrant lilac, or could be rose

It may not seem pretty at a glimpse

But it's the flower you planted

How can you dump it so easily !

George, Miss Yau sings too

... and much better than Betty

Really?

Miss Yau

Sing here tonight, all right?

What do you say?

I have to know the terms

I'll pay you anything if you will do so

How about that?

Let's find a place ...

and talk about the contract, all right?

Good, go then

Not today

How about tomorrow?

Which hotel?

I admire him but he has ignored me

I don't want to go to a hotel

Then come to my place tomorrow night

It's better during the day

I'll come to your villa tomorrow afternoon

Okay

I'll wait for you, 4 p.m.

Good

Let's go

I don't want to hear such songs

Go

Lulu, why are you leaving?

Who is it?

Stop grumbling

Old goat

Boss, you've only had Betty for a few days

and now you already want to dump her

This may be going a bit far

Nonsense

I really like her

It could be said in my life

I have now met someone ...

I really love

Wait, just to whet his appetite

You have to put on more make-up tomorrow

I'm scared to go alone

Muster some courage for your sister's sake

Betty will lose her job this time

She deserve it

Mr Wang

Where's Suk Man?

I believe she should be in her room

I have some business with her

... something real urgent

Please be quick

If Mrs. Chan returns, it could be trouble

I know

Who is it?

It's me, Tak Sang

How can you come in here?

I know - off limits to men

Never mind that for now

I have great news for you

What is it?

You will appear on TV this Sunday

Sing that song on TV, and your ...

sister would be encouraged to look for you

Really?

I've told our programme manager the whole story

... and he's willing to help us

So I had to come to inform you

What is this?

How can you dress like this?

The one who took my sister ...

is George, the boss of Golden Dice Night Club

Lulu introduced me to him to sign a contract

I want to get close to him

I want to get some information from him

regarding the whereabouts of my sister

But he is a playboy

As they say; 'no pain, no gain'

I admit being a little afraid ...

but for the sake of my sister

I have to give it a try

You'll go on TV tomorrow

... so why take this risk?

I want to do it as soon as possible

Suk Man ...

Suk Man ...

Coming ...

Open the door

Wait

Suk Man ...

Wait

Alright?

Wait

What's the matter?

Are you ready?

It's time

I will be ready soon

Only success, and no failure

I know

Lulu, what are you and Suk Man doing?

None of your business

Didn't I tell you, whatever you've ...

taken from others will soon be taken away

That's the way of nature, I guess

Damn you

Wait and see

Betty, you want to fight again?

I'm going

I'll go with you

No. Reckon if I don't go alone ...

I'm afraid he won't see me

It's okay. I'll keep a watch on you from distance

If anything happens, I can come to your rescue

Let's do it this way

No, Mrs. Chan is outside

Go in quickly

What's wrong ?

Hurry

What's happening?

What are you doing?

Nothing

I was just saying her dress looks good

Suk Man, where are you going

... dressed up like this?

I'm going to seduce George

Miss Yau, he's mine. You be careful

I didn't realise you too had an affair with him

No

I suspect that he has lured my sister to Hong Kong

That's why I am here to see what happened

I'm sorry, I have to get some things

What are we going to do? It's almost time

Bad luck

She's still outside. What are we going to do?

What to do ?

Got it

Put on my clothes

How can that be?

I'll go and get my Mom's headset

How can that be? It's been exposed

Got it

Put on these pants

Pretend you're Winnie

She hops while she walks

How?

Are you going out?

Yes, Winnie, hurry

Winnie, you must pay me ...

the rent of this month tonight

Yes

Winnie, don't forget about to

... buy those records for me

Okay

How come you sound different ?

It's women's ailment

We're going out, good bye

Winnie, how come you are so tall?

She's wearing a 4 inch stiletto

Go get changed quickly

We'll wait for you downstairs

Jenny, what happen ?

Nothing

Funny, sounds like Winnie

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Mom, Winnie, please

Mrs. Chan, come quickly

Someone's stealing our things again

Hurry, hurry

Come and see

You've come again, shame on you !

Everytime you evade the law

This time I won't let you go

Mad man, sex maniac, pervert

Why are you ...

stealing other's panties all the time?

Shameless

Come down and apologize

... otherwise I'll report to the police

What are you talking about?

I'm an old scholar

Next time you make irresponsible remarks ...

I'll sue you for tarnishing my image

What is this?

A signal flag

Green means aggressive attack

Red means danger

When I want you to run

I'll wave the red flag

Good

Welcome...

Hello

I've been waiting for you. Have a seat

You all go inside

Have a cigarette

Thanks

Are you alright ?

Nothing

Have a drink

Please have a drink

No, sorry I don't drink

Shall we go dancing tonight?

No, let's talk about the contract first

You just have to agree ...

I'll pay you anything

Wish I could sing a song from Taiwan

Life is Like a Boat

Lulu might have sang this song too

It is very popular

I heard you got it from Taiwan

I don't recall that

Come, have a drink

Have a drink

You've just replaced Lulu with Betty

... and now you want me in;

Wouldn't that be inappropriate?

Nonsense

Frankly

You see, Betty doesn't sing that well

I'm just using her temporarily;

Because she's frequently around me

... and helps me win money

I hear, three months ago ...

a singer came from Taiwan

Not too sure of that

Let's talk about tonight's programme

... and the contract

Tell me frankly

do you like girls from Taiwan?

What has that to do with the contract?

People say you're a famous playboy

Switching girls used to be my habit

But ever since I've met you ...

I'm truly in love

You're lying. I don't believe you

Miss Yau

Trust me. In my whole life ...

it's the first time I'm truly in love

I love you

Really ?

Have a drink

Let's talk about ...

the singer from Taiwan

Which one are you talking about?

Yau Suk Wai

You know her?

No, I heard it from Lulu

Well, she's dead

She lost her voice and drowned herself

Really?

What a fool !

Here, drink

You can drink

Here, have another one

Miss Yau

I have been searching for an ideal companion

... and now I've found one

Quick, Miss Yau

Quickly...

Who's playing the fool?

Boss...

Get her back, quick

Suk Wai

Why did you die? Oh why?

You were so lovely & full of life

You're such a fool

Betty...

You'll be driven out soon

Drunk again?

You deserve it

Jenny

Jenny's gone shopping

Jenny...

Jenny

Jenny

I placed all my hopes on you

Don't be like me

Aunty, I'm not Jenny

Who are you then?

Who's that man?

Ain't been carried by a man to bed for a long time

George, you're so cruel

I know you can't forget me

You've come back to me

George, why are you standing there !

George ...

don't be like this

I know you love me, I love you too

Jenny...

No...

Jenny...

Jenny...

Jenny, come back

Tommy

What's up, Lulu?

What have you done with Tommy?

Speak

I was drunk, I don't know

Tommy

What is the matter ?

Tell me frankly, speak up

Aunty thought I was George

and Jenny saw that

What's the matter?

Jenny's gone

She's gone !

It's all my fault

If I can't find Jenny

My life is finished

I'll get her back

Tommy, where are you going?

Come back, come back quickly

Lulu, it's your fault

... being engrossed by men

You can't blame it all on Lulu

George has a devious motive

Don't be sad

Don't cry

May Ah Apartment, yes, Mr Tam

Suk Man, your telephone

For me?

Hello, yes?

I have some business with you

I need to give you some information

George is a scum

Your sister was killed by him

He cheated your sister by promising

... to marry her in Hong Kong

But when she arrived in Hong Kong ...

she discovered what a piece of scum he was

And so she committed suicide

Suk Man, don't get involved with trash like George

I hate him, and you too

What's the matter?

You look bad

George pushed my sister to her death

That bastard again

What a terrible person !

One victim after another

I wonder how many girls he has ruined

Yes...

We must punish a crook like him

Right...

Suk Man, take it easy

Suk Man

Suk Wai, I'll seek revenge for you

Hello, long time no see !

I've been busy

Make yourself comfortable

Suk Man

Miss Yau, inside please

Thanks for calling me

Is the boss in?

He's inside

Miss Yau, you...

Miss Yau, you're here

Why did you disappear so suddenly yesterday?

You scared me

Can I sing in your night club?

Of course

Come, have a seat

After you get off work

... let's go to the Ritz

I've booked room 101

It's a nice place

All right

It's late & quiet; The moon hangs upon the boughs

Lover, where are you?

Don't forget tonight

The trees' shadows move with the winds

Nice voice

Much better than Betty

Please come inside

Lover, where are you?

Don't forget the whistle

George, what does this mean?

I'm the only singer here

Yes, there's only one singer

and it's her, not you

What about me then?

Just play cards with me

I'll pay you salary just the same

The wind carried along your sweet whistle

I wave to you and smile

... Unable to withstand my rapid heartbeat

The trees' shadows move with wind. I pine for you

My beloved, where are you?

Don't forget tonight

I cry silently in your bosom

It's late and silent

We're both intoxicated by the night

Please come inside

Mr Wang

Miss Yau

Mrs. Chan told me you've come here

Is your purpose ...

to seek revenge on George?

Tam Shun told me everything

My sister was cheated by George

... and committed suicide

I must avenge her death

But George is a famous playboy

So you've to be careful

You go on TV tomorrow, remember?

Sister is dead ...

what's the use of going on TV?

It's all been arranged

How can you not go ?

OK, I'll sing one song to mourn her

You seduced the boss

... and brought in a guy

You have a good plan

What rubbish !

All right, never mind her. Just go

All right, I'll leave

Take care

Yes

You took away my job

This is all Lulu's doing

She's a crook, why be her accomplice

You're here in good time, I was looking for you

This is not Lulu's fault

She supported Jenny's education with her life

George should be blamed for all this

What? You're scolding George already

I'll tell him

Go ahead. You know what ...

My sister was cheated by George

... and committed suicide

Like you she is George's victim

No, he loves me truly

Look, this is the evidence

Evidence?

They say he won a lot with you around, & so ...

he used you as a lucky mascot to win money

Even if I pulled out now ...

he won't return to you

I tell you, that's his style;

changing girls like clothes

I've been cheated... this bastard !

We talked at the apartment this morning

Trash like George ...

deserve apt punishment

Betty, we're both women

and will be dumped sooner or later

Miss Yau, if you believe me ...

you should know my good intentions

How will you repay me?

You're so good to me

I must reevaluate you

Tonight...

Asking me to the hotel ?!

Where?

Ritz Hotel room 101

Wait there and turn off the lights

If not, I won't come

Tonight, I'll...

Haven't seen you much recently

What have you been up to?

Nothing much

In future ...

you both must patronize us more

You're too kind

I tell you

One night, old Ng and I...

Excuse me. Boss, this is from Miss Yau

I'm leaving first - Suk Man

Please come inside

Go out

Yes

Who are you?

It's you

Boss

You scum

Scum

Tommy, Tommy

Where are you going?

Kid

To look for Jenny

You, Tommy

Found Jenny yet?

Not yet

Don't bother about Jenny

I won't let you see Jenny

Why? Why can't I go to see Jenny

How dare you talk to your Mom like this ?

I like Jenny

Child, you are still young

I won't let you talk to Jenny again

You put me in a cage

I am already 18

I won't let you meddle around what I do

No matter what

I'll have to go find Jenny today

Tommy

Wait, Tommy

Look, I've raised him

and now he is disobeying me

Disobeying me for the first time

Alright, Lulu

Listen to what I say

Move out of this apartment right now

Move out of this apartment immediately

Move out of this apartment immediately

That's not fair

What?

Didn't you always say that men are bad

Lulu and I are just playthings

George is the one who is wrong

You can't blame it all on Lulu

I don't quite understand

Why do you always side up with Lulu ?

Maybe 'coz we are fellow sufferers

Go to sleep

Tommy

Where are you going ?

I ran out after arguing with Mom

Arguing !

Do you want to know where Jenny has gone?

Do you know where Jenny is?

Yes

Don't tell them yet

Last night I met her here

This morning I've told her about you

She now understands

She's now at my bar

Want to see her?

Alright, take me to her right away

Alright

Hi, Nancy

See who is here !

Jenny, look

Tommy

Jenny

Tommy

Tommy...

She's Sally. For time being Jenny is staying with her

Sorry to disturb you

Don't mention it

She's very kind to me. We've become good friends

In difficult times ...

we've got to help each other

Thank you

Don't mention it

Life is like a boat

Though everyone is rowing at different speed

As long as it's in the right direction

... one can soon be ashore

Life is like a boat

Forever fluctuating amongst mighty waves

As long as they hold on steadily

Going along with the wind

... in stormy times

There's no need to be afraid

Stand up straight and don't lose hope

Sally

Life is like a boat

Suk Man sings very well

I heard Nancy say that ...

her sister died. How sad !

Sally, what are you doing?

I am making tea

I have no money

Bring Mr. Ng to the casino tonight

I'll bring George, too

Yes you can

but this time, I'll take 10 percent

If you win, I'll get it for you

Same signal as last time

Okay

Miss Yau

Knock before you enter. Such bad manners

You are the one with manners

What did you do last night

You made me suffer

I'm so sorry

I've got the wrong room number

Look at my face

I really can't stay at this place anymore

Miss Yau, you sing very well

Apart from singing in here

you can sing at any place

After we've got married ...

I'll make you famous with the connections I have

You listen to me

That's good

But you can't do anything without money

Do you have any money?

Money is almighty

Be good to me

Alright, come, come on

Tam Shun

Boss

Are you sweet-talking her again?

Get lost

I'll go without your asking me

What's with all that arrogance ?

We'll see

Get lost

You've got the guts

... to seduce my girlfriend

Suk Man, you are out of line

What happened to you last night?

What happened? Look who's asking !

I was waiting for you at Room 110

... for the whole night

You waited for me at Room 110

I told you it's 101

I'm sorry. My mistake

Suk Man

Why are you repeatedly avoiding me?

I am truly in love with you

Let's get married tomorrow

Get married?

But I want a car and a house

A car and a house ?

That'd cost a lot !

That's my basic requirement

You two are so engrossed with each other

I was just asking boss for a car and a house

Oh, a car and a house

That's nothing

You should buy her those

It's easy for you to say

You can spend someone else's money

Not spending my money?

What can you buy then?

You can use other people's money

You are so stupid, let me tell you

Mr. Ng and Ting Lien await you at the casino

Really? You are right

Suk Man, come with me

I'll let you watch my card-playing strategy

Car and house

Haven't you got everything?

Coming

Coming?

Let me introduce you, Miss Yau

Mr. Ng

Please be seated

Did you bring the money?

I've asked someone to bring it here

Let's gamble big

Let's see who loses, you or me !

It must be you then

Don't be too confident in yourself

I've never lost before when the stakes are high

My money hasn't arrived yet

You lend me $100,000

If you don't pay before I leave; double interest

No problem

Alright. I'll follow

Am I right? I've said I'll win

You're playing well

Your luck's getting better

I'm looking for George Chan

This way

Mr. Chan

How come you're so late? Where's the money?

Just now Mr. Tam took away $50,000

... and left this letter behind

God damn it, he took away $50,000

I temporarily took your $50,000

I won't tell anyone about your cheating in gambling

This is blackmail. That bloody fool !

What happened?

Brother, don't get so excited

We are just playing cards

Alright, I'll use my night club

... to bet against your $100,000

Oh, nightclub?

Right

Didn't you say betting big assures winning ?

Come on, come

Brother, don't regret this

You'll go bankrupt

It's too early to say that

Boss

Boss what?

Go back ...

Miss Yau, don't worry

I'll win

A pair of Ace, deal the cards

3 Aces

2 pairs, come

Alright, I'll bet you another $100,000

... with my villa

Okay

Okay...

Alright, deal

Deal

Open

Full House

Wrong signal

Betty, what are you doing?

Why are you giving the wrong signal ?

Signaling?

So you are a conman !

No... Betty you ...

It's over

You've lost your nightclub and villa to me

You have to honour your word

I've won...

And at this ...

he started crying

What are you talking about?

He lost all his possessions

Good

If Tommy returns all will be well

Jenny's at fault too

Didn't you know that ...

Jenny and Tommy are in love?

Yes, I support that

Actually I am not against that

... but it's just that they are too young

So I forbid them to see each other

Why do you have to separate them

... and force them to elope?

Elope?

No... they left home one after the other

... and haven't been back yet

Do you know where they are?

Yes

Tell me

Don't hide anything

Say it, Nancy

Tell them everything

I know it

Only if you promise that their friendship continues

... I'll bring you to them

Agreed

Take us there

I'll ask Tak Sang to go there too

Alright

Come

Mommy

Tommy

Jenny, you are here

Mom

Don't worry

They have promised ...

that you two can be friends

-Mommy -Mom

This is Nancy's friend

We're fortunate to have her look after us

Thank you

Suk Wai

Sister

You're alive !

Sister

Her sister

After coming here I realised that I've been duped

I jumped into the sea

... then someone saved me

I saw you on TV, but ...

I was too ashamed to meet, and let you worry

I am terribly sorry

No problem, as long as you are with me

I am happy

Congratulations

Thank you

What are you doing?

You can't take her away

She owes us money

How much?

One thousand

No, that's just three hundred

Don't worry, I'll bring you the money tomorrow

Give me the money, then she can go

We'll get the police

Hold on

You want to fight?

It's the first time I hit someone...

Wonderful

I've thrown another

Tommy, you are great

Jenny, food is ready, come on

Breakfast is ready, guys

Ask Tommy to come and join

Alright, today's an exception

Mom got this for you

You sit here

Like it ?

Good

Oh, yes, wait

Mom, George wants to see you

Me?

Hello

Lulu, how are you?

I need money right now

Could you lend me some?

I'll give it back to you very soon

Alright, I'll be right there

Alright

What's going on?

George has run out of luck

and called me for money

He's coming for the money now

Why don't you refuse him?

No, I have to help him

... and teach him a good lesson

George Chan will be here any minute

I'll ask Tak Sang to come

Alright, hurry

George

Attention please ... Come out quickly ...

What's the matter?

He's asking Lulu for money

Who's coming?

George is borrowing money

... from Lulu

So shameless

Mrs. Chan

You must let him in this time

Correct

Mrs. Chan must let him in this time

Mrs. Chan hates men

She used to object to that

Mr. Wang

What happened ?

When united, women sure can be powerful

He's coming

How come he's so fast?

Alright, let him in

You all hide away

It's Manager Tam

What is it?

I haven't come to see you

I've come to see Yau Suk Man

Where's Miss Suk Man?

Mr. Tam

Miss Suk Man

Come in, we welcome male guests today

-Come in -Yes

Suk Man, I've brought you $50,000

How come there are so many people ...

Anything special ?

Didn't you say you need money to get married?

Who wants it, it's all stolen money !

It's real money, nevertheless

George doesn't dare to report to the police either

He's coming here right now

... to get it back

What are you talking about?

I am talking about George Chan

Who?

Your boss of course

Where is he?

On his way here

What am I going to do?

It must be George Chan

What am I going to do? Where can I hide?

George, come in

We've been waiting here for a long time

Please

I heard you are looking for Lulu

Someone wants to see you now

This is the one

Boss

You fool, give me back the money immediately

No ...

Is he George Chan?

Yes, he's women's enemy

Give me back the money ...

Give it to me ...

What do you want?

What do you want?

Please, spare us

What do you want from us?

Come, the trial is on both of you

Trial?

Right

You're guilty of seducing, playing & dumping girls

I can be the witness

Me too

Me too

Suk Wai

She's my sister

You've indirectly murdered, forcing girls to suicide

Don't spare him

Right

I'll let you taste my wrath

They must be condemned to death

Right, I agree

Death by the electric chair

No...death by hanging

Hanging?

I am innocent

Innocent? You are damned

But we women shouldn't be the executioners

We'll use our hands to beat them

Kick them first

Right ?

Good

Let me first teach them a lesson

Spare me ... !

Come and tickle them

Spare me ...

Don't let them run away

Spare me ...please

Now you know how powerful women can be

Yes

Spare me ...

Who said women are weak

You think men are unbeatable

... you are all scum

I've finally let off steam

Me too

Spare me ...

Tommy, spare him please

Spare me

Spare me

Tommy

I want to teach him a lesson

Listen to me, listen well

He is your father, William Chan

You are Lai Kuen?

Good that you still recognize me

15 years ago, when Tommy was just 3 years old

... he dumped me

I started to hate him since

But no matter what ...

he had been my husband

He has made you suffer too. I'm sorry about that

It's all my fault

Tam Shun, don't run

Boss, don't grab

Give it back to me

I suffered a lot, too

From that time onwards ...

I feel that women are pathetic and men are bad

... until today

I feel that men too are pathetic

George, swear that you won't be like this again

and I'll plea with everybody to spare you

No, I can't spare him

You made Mom suffer so much

We don't want you now

I will take care of Mom

Go away, go

Tommy, Tommy

How come you talk ...

like a grown-up all of a sudden ?

Mom

Tommy

Everyone, as you wish

I'm sorry, I am leaving

Tam Shun, don't run

Give me back the money ...

Don't grab it ...

Don't grab my money

See how embarrassed they look !

They're hopeless

Mrs. Chan

What's the matter?

Thank you for removing this gate

The gate behind should also be removed

Right

It's like staying in jail if you don't remove it

In fact, men and women should not be separated

Men are pathetic

Hurry up and make your promise

Alright

I think so too

From tomorrow onwards, it will be removed

You can bring your boyfriends in

Great

We are free

We can love freely

Long Live Women

Long Live Mrs Chan

Long Live the Apartment for Ladies

Come ... My treat today

Drink to your heart's content

Come ... have some wine

Please ...

Like a pair of shoes we seem

We look like two boats

Oh, my sister

We hope never to be apart

I felt sad without you by my side

I feel happy with your company

Oh, my sister

I am happy to be with you

Winnie come... have a seat

I heard someone say before

Sisters ought to love each other

We can fend off any hardship

Although we still await our bright future

No matter how rich you are

Or no matter how talented

Oh, my dear sister !

Who else would love and support

Sister, dear sister

We both are the best of sisters !
