Why haven't you bought a taxi after all this time, Kung?
It's much better than the risks of driving an unlicensed hire car.
Who'd take those risks when it's avoidable, Mrs. Ku?
A taxi license costs thousands of dollars.
Unlike you rich people,
I can't afford to offer a large sum of money.
You think I'm well off. I think you're not doing too shabby either.
Well, you're doing much better than me!
You live on the Peak. I live in a rooftop shack where it's freezing when it's cold and boiling when it's hot.
You wouldn't even want to come up there!
How would you know? You never invite me.
Maybe I'd like to come.
What? Am I unwelcome now?
Cab fare?
What are you doing? Giving me money?
Are you taking this as a deal?
We're just doing this for fun. Why are you paying me?
You've come to the wrong person, Mrs. Ku!
I won't accept it. Take it back!
Ms. Wong!
Long time no see, Boss Cheung!
I know you hate me for not promoting you as Ms. Exhibition.
But I've already promoted you as Ms. Oyster Sauce.
Yes, in regards to being Ms. Oyster Sauce,
I feel very honoured to do it.
You are? If you were happy about it, you wouldn't dumped me.
I promise you. I'll promote you to Ms. Exhibition next year.
Thank you. I'm very tired now. Good night.
You shouldn't treat me that way.
I gave you a place to stay.
I pay for clothing and your hydro bills.
You spend so much of my money and I get nothing in return.
It's not right for you to be like that. Open up!
You're practically leeching here.
Listen! I'm the landlord, I've got the keys to the door.
If I have to come in myself, you'll suffer the consequences.
I'll take everything back. Now open up!
Promote me to become a celebrity. Can I make it?
Sure! Of course, you can!
I'll make you the most popular newcomer of the year.
Really?
Sure, I've even prepared a script for you.
Come this way.
This is the home of the future movie star.
Take a look. How is it?
It's gorgeous!
Not quite.
Once you rocket to fame, you'll live in the Peak and drive a sports car.
Everyone will fight for your autograph.
Your pictures will even be sold everywhere.
So what's the rent here?
$750 including deposit, advance and miscellaneous expenses.
Thank you.
Director, why do you want to pay for me?
It wouldn't be proper.
Be good. Listen to me and don't argue with me over it.
I need to pack up my things. I've got to go now.
Fine. It's okay.
I'l come and visit you in a couple of days. Be good now!
Sorry.
Sorry.
Who are you?
I live upstairs.
What's your name?
I'm Kung.
What are you doing here?
Taking a crap!
Didn't you know I've just rented the place?
Well, you hadn't rented it when I started!
Shall I stop it mid-way?
Are you finished yet?
I'm done.
Well, are you going to leave?
There's no toilet paper!
Can't you come up with another solution?
Aren't I thinking of a solution right now? Why are you looking at me?
You go out first. I'll follow in a minute.
Are you scared I'll steal your toilet?
Excuse me.
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
The doorway's over there.
The exit's there but over there is my way home.
Take a look if you don't believe me.
I'm sorry but this was how the building was built.
You've got to go through here to get up there.
You didn't tell that me earlier.
You didn't ask.
Just tell him to go away!
That's $250, miss.
It's $50 for upstairs.
You live where you rent.
Did you hear that, little missy?
Live where you rent.
You're dependent on others.
But I've got to make a living by driving my unlicensed car.
You have the audio system, and a TV set. It's nothing special.
I've got fresh air, moonlight and the scent of flowers.
Plus, I have a private car downstairs.
I only go through your door because I have to.
Don't go upstairs to my place if it's not necessary.
And don't make a mess out of my place, understand?
Which side looks better to you?
I'm quarrelling with you. Are you trying to flirt?
This one looks better.
Watch over the house. I need to go out and run a few errands.
Shut off the tap downstairs!
Shut off the tap downstairs!
Open the door!
Shut off the tap!
Turn off the tap!
Please turn off the tap!
What did you say?
I said it in Cantonese!
Shooting will be begin at the set tomorrow morning. Be good!
Thank you, director. Get some rest.
Shooting's about to start tomorrow morning
and you're still telling me to get some rest!
Yes, I should say “good night”.
Open up! Why won't you open the door?
Did you hear me?
1, 2, 3! Open the door right away!
How dare you disobey me, you ungrateful woman!
Open up!
Be careful! Why won't you open the door?
Damn it!
Unlicensed driver!
Hey, Unlicensed driver for hire!
What are you doing?
Nothing much. It's just that I now realized something.
Not only are you an unlicensed driver for hire, but you're a cab driver as well!
What cab?
By day, you drive your own unlicensed car for hire.
By night, you drive a cab and receive cab fare.
There's one thing I don't understand.
Why are all of your $500 bills
torn and patched up again?
Tell me.
Is it charged every time or is it done weekly?
Perhaps even monthly?
Poor guy, your face looks pale.
I think you've taken too many evening shifts. It must be tiring for you.
Fine! Just tell me what you want!
Just say it!
There's nothing that I'd want. What do you want?
I want to die! I deserve it!
But I'm a man and men have their needs.
It's natural.
How would I expect her to leave money here?
I get angry too! What else can I do?
Even if I tore it in shreds and threw it away,
she'll still think that I took it.
It's $500!
$500 isn't something I can earn just from driving a car.
You know how it is with people like me.
How many of us wouldn't want to save some money to buy a taxi?
Nobody knows about this.
I pretend not to know about it either.
Now...you...
I want to charter you tomorrow.
Okay!
Which part? Up, down or centre?
Come on!
I want to charter your car because
I need to get to the studio for filming tomorrow.
I've got to look like a movie star.
Once I become popular,
I'll have my own house, car and a private chauffeur.
I wouldn't need to beg others.
Will you buy my photos by then?
It'll have my autograph on it.
I can give you an autograph right now. It's okay!
Can you give me an autograph?
Take another picture!
Let's go.
Please wait here, miss. I'll talk to the director.
Please wait.
Take this and buy some cigarettes.
Thanks.
Please have some tea, miss.
The cigarettes!
You'll remember the night you've been tortured.
Give her a good beating!
Yeah!
What on earth were you doing? You must fall down a little harder!
Director, the girl has arrived.
Really?
Yes.
Go, you can get off work now.
I don't need to do it, right? It's okay. Someone will do it for you.
I'll tell you something.
You get it, don't you?
Just stand right there.
What do I do?
Director, what does she need to do?
Nothing special for her to do. Just stand there.
What about my dialogue?
No need for dialogue.
Just count. 1,2,3,4, 5,6,7,8...
Am I playing the role of a teacher?
We'll deal with the audio dubbing later.
- Are you ready? - Alright, director!
Let's begin!
Camera!
Taxi Dancers in Paris. Scene 16, Take 1!
Sleep in the daytime to wake up on the evenings.
Masquerade yourself to flirtation.
Accompany you to seek out for fun or drunkiness. Just to be crazy at night.
I have the net of passion.
Selling my heart in the street.
Of course, money is everything.
If you're rich, don't rush yourself tonight.
Chat with me for a while.
Listen, o' nightingale!
Use your heart to seek your match.
Make more money!
Lead us every night, o' nightingale!
I've declared my conquer in the streets.
When have you entered our streets? Speak up!
Say it!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8!
I order you to go elsewhere and not stay behind. Leave!
You'll remember the night you've been tortured.
Give her a good beating!
Yeah!
No!
Victory, o' nightingale!
This street has become a forbidden zone.
If you dare to invade, o' foul whore,
you'll be cooked and roasted.
Cut! It's time to pack up!
Time to pack up!
How was my performance, director?
Not bad...
Let's have dinner together!
How about it?
Time to close the set. Lights out!
Got off work?
Disgusting!
Camera!
Ms. Wong, the director wants you at the set for the shoot tomorrow morning at 6.
You have to be on time. Go to bed early.
Please take me to a doctor. I've got filming tomorrow.
I can't go with a forehead like this.
There are no doctors available at this time.
There must be one somewhere. Help me out here! Sorry to trouble you.
Nobody wants you for filming.
I was the one on the phone.
Don't you know that you're very noisy? Even noisier than a plane!
Come on!
How is it? Feeling better now?
Go back to sleep.
Would you accompany me and yell at the plane again?
Sure, let's wait!
Do you always yell at airplanes whenever you're unhappy?
No.
Have you ever sat in an airplane?
Why?
Well, I've never been in one before. I can't wait to get on an airplane.
Can you help me?
How?
May I have your name, sir?
It's Cheung, the president of the Hong Kong-Shanghai Bank.
Pleasure to meet you.
What's your name, sir?
The name is Siu. I'm the owner of the Hong Kong Funeral Home.
Touch wood!
Hello. What's your name?
My surname is Wong. I'm an actress.
This is my name card.
Interesting.
Are all American name cards written in English?
Yes.
Is your address in America?
This is my phone number and address in Hong Kong.
This is my home number.
Have a drink.
Thank you.
See you later! - Goodbye, Mr. Chan!
I have a car. Let me drive you home.
No thanks. My driver's over there.
- I'll walk you there. - Okay!
Good night. Get to bed early and wake up early in the morning.
I'll call you and pick you up tomorrow night.
- Good night! - Good night!
Sorry.
Did you see that man?
Yes, I did.
His name is Paul Chan. He just came back from America.
Coming back to Hong Kong to be the governor?
He's actually not that bad.
He's rich, down-to-earth, and a pretty funny guy.
Do you think he'll try to woo me?
Don't spend all day to treat me like one of your sisters, little missy!
Talking to me about those single men!
I'm a man too! What can I say?
It'd be meaningless.
What's up?
You're driving fast.
Go faster!
After him! Hurry!
I won't.
Why?
I can't. This is an antique car.
It's not as good as his sports car.
What do you think I should wear for the ballroom party tomorrow night?
I wore red tonight.
Should I wear the white back-revealing dress or the black low-cut dress?
I don't know...I don't know...
What are you doing? What's so great about driving a big car?
You drive a tourist bus! Who do you think you are, the president?
Think you can park wherever you want?
You! Come down!
Support the union strike! Oppose the price increase!
Are you a British spy?
Coming here to agitate and sabotage?
No, it's just a misunderstanding!
Search him!
- What's wrong? - Come out!
Fellow comrades!
From head to toe, this lady symbolizes the putridity of capitalism!
We must take her down to achieve victory!
Down with capitalism!
Down with imperialism!
Unlicensed cab driver!
You're a jackal!
You've misunderstood me! I'm not a jackal!
- Unlicensed cab driver! - Down with capitalism!
Come forth and join us!
Abandon your capitalist thoughts!
Down with imperialism!
Say it!
Unlicensed cab driver!
Run!
You're trampling on me!
Unlicensed cab driver!
I'm right here!
Unlicensed cab driver!
I'm right here!
Unlicensed cab driver!
I'm right here!
Don't be scared.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Are you mad?
I've longed for this for a long time.
- Touch it. It's beautiful! - Don't touch other people's belongings.
It's soft.
What are you doing? Get down!
Kneel down!
Hands on your head. Do it properly!
If I kneel down like this,
would it look better?
Kneel properly!
Kneel properly...
Anyone who wants to call for bail,
will have to line up over there to make your calls.
Please be quick, miss!
Pipe down! You're the next one after this call!
Hello, Superintendent Au! How have you been lately?
I'm doing fine. Not so bad. Yes...
It's nothing much. I just happened to have encountered a riot out in the streets.
I'm in the police station right now...
How are you, Boss Cheung? Yes...
How is Dolly doing lately?
Stop chatting, okay?
Any lice? No? That's good!
Yes, I've encountered a riot in the streets. It was quite troublesome.
I'm now in the police station. I wonder...
Hang up!
I won't hold you up for long.
Let me try.
Where are you now?
I'll come right away!
Darling, Kim Feng invited me over for a game of mahjong.
I've got to head out for a while. You can go to sleep first.
Okay, come back early!
You're lucky to have someone who treats you nice.
Aren't I nice enough to you?
In what way?
I drive for you and I yell at the planes with you.
I even had to face the tear bombs with you.
Now, I've even gone to jail with you.
Well, you're not bad either.
It's a pity that you're not rich. Otherwise, I would have married you.
It's too bad you're not rich either. Otherwise, I would have married you as well.
Then, you've got to try harder and make more money.
You too.
You can go now.
You go first.
What about you?
I'll be fine. Go!
Can you go now? Let's go!
Kneel better.
Young lady, your dress is absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks.
Young ladies should dress better.
But remember to bring some money with you when you go out.
Kung can't find me all the time.
She just happened to be unable to contact her friends.
Where shall I drop you off?
We'll get off the car together.
Yeah, she lives downstairs to me.
What's your occupation, miss?
I'm a taxi driver.
Miss.
Paul.
Sorry, but when you called me,
I couldn't speak freely because I was with my wife.
When I got to the police station, you'd just left.
So I just came here. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Come with me.
Paul, this is the lady that just...
Mrs. Ku, right?
She just bailed me out.
Thank you, Mrs. Ku.
You're welcome. I've got to go now. Start the car.
Why don't we go for a drink?
Okay.
I'll take his car. You may go now.
I almost forgot. Your fee for today.
Going out at this hour? Be good.
I won't do it again.
Go to sleep.
I'm sorry. There were too many mice upstairs last night.
So I slept here.
Are you hungry? I've brought back some food.
Sure.
Does it taste good?
it's delicious!
This shop is famous for their sandwiches.
How did you know?
Paul took me here.
He ordered a lot of food. I couldn't finish it.
Did you know about this?
Paul ran a modelling agency in America.
He even said he'll apply for my entry visa.
I might even get a chance to go into Hollywood.
I wonder what kind of car does Susie Wong drive over there.
Isn't that Nancy Kwan?
Isn't she?
Thanks!
I'm heading back to America tomorrow.
Leaving so soon?
Yes, I also want you to come to America.
I've already prepared your passport and airline ticket.
I'll take care of your living expenses once you're there.
You can go shopping or watch a movie as you please.
I can even introduce you to the film industry. It's not a problem.
But I can't always be around for you because I've got a family there.
You're smart. You should understand.
Don't make it hard for me. Think about it.
Learn some English when you have the time.
You know I'm going to take a flight, don't you?
I know. That's why you're learning English.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be permitted to enter the airport.
Well, I don't think I can take everything away with me.
If there's anything useful to you, just take it.
Thanks but I've got all I need.
What's so special about taking a flight?
Do you really believe you'll become a star in America?
You'll only become a waiter or a dishwasher.
Spaghetti.
What's her going to America got to do with you?
Even if you're not doing great you should wish others well.
This is for you to take to America.
I'm no good with shopping.
I figure salted fish isn't available over there.
So I bought two just for you.
I did plan to buy dried prunes for you.
But you're pursuing a celebrity life, it might be a bad omen for you.
So I bought these for you instead.
I hope you'll still remember me while you're in America.
I want to buy a few things to take with me. Why don't you come with me?
Come! Come on!
Yes, speaking.
What?
What's the matter?
Where's my black dress?
What black dress?
My mother died.
Although Lady Tai has departed from us,
her kind face and sweet smile will last forever
in each and every one of our hearts.
Lady Tai was also a great mother.
For many years, she took on the responsibilities of both mother and father
by working as a cleaner in our church for over 20 years to support her daughter.
She took care of her daughter with all her heart.
She never complained about her struggles.
Don't feel too sad.
Your mother had heart trouble for many years.
Had she lived with you in the city,
she would've had proper medical treatment
without the need of taking a long bus ride.
But she said you were busy with lots of work.
She didn't want to be a burden on you.
I spoke to her before she died.
She wanted me to give this to you.
She said you loved to dress up ever since you were little.
And that you loved this chi-pao very much.
You grew up in the village right before my eyes.
You can come to me whenever you're feeling sad.
Do I look pretty?
Do you like me in this chi-pao?
My mother gave it to me.
But the buttons seem a little loose.
It can come off very easily.
Look at it, don't you think so?
Not at all. Let me help you with the button!
No, it'll come off easily.
Not really. I'll button it up for you.
What's wrong with you today? Have you lost your mind?
Why did you cut off all your fingernails?
Do you think I'm not beautiful enough?
I'm cold. Hold me tightly.
No! Don't do this!
Why do you have to be like this?
Why do you want to degrade yourself for me?
Yes, I'm cheap! I'm no good! I'm giving up on myself!
I love to be fooled by men!
Men can offer me fame and fortune!
I can be a star!
Once I become a star, my mom wouldn't need this lifestyle!
She wouldn't have to work as a cleaner!
Nor would she need to be looked down upon!
Don't be sad.
Don't be sad? Why shouldn't I be sad?
I've got nothing now! I have no future!
I have nothing...even my mother is gone...
My mother is gone and you're comforting me.
I want to die...
Don't be like this!
Let me go!
I'm at work.
I'm very busy now. I'll talk to you later.
Don't sleep like that. My leg will go numb.
Sorry.
Wait a minute!
Don't you know I'll feel sad?
Don't you know that I'll be sad about this?
Well... wouldn't know what to say...
Why did you hit her?
Tell me. Why was she sleeping with you?
Her mother died and she has no other family. I was just taking care of her.
So I let her sleep on my leg for a while. Is that okay?
So you give her sympathy and take care of her?
- Did you even think about me? - No. Why would I think about you?
The leg is mine. I like to let her sleep on it.
So what?
Say that again!
The leg is mine and I like to let her sleep on it.
Fine! I hope you won't regret this!
Don't go yet!
Take all your money back!
The old me would take it as charity.
All is finished when the money is gone.
It's a clean break now.
You have no one, neither do I. We're even now.
Let's save up from now on.
Well, there's no rice or salt left.
We'll starve.
Want something to eat?
I've used up my rye. How about you?
Are you alright?
Open the door.
Open up! I'm eating the crispy rice. I'll go out and buy some vegetables!
Did you hear me?
Are you insane?
Open up! It's been two days. Are you trying to starve me?
You think you're special because you've lost your mother?
I've lost my mom and dad too!
If you don't open up, I'll be really angry!
Open up! I'm starving!
If you don't open the door,
Can you help me buy some things?
No more fasting, right?
What do you want to buy?
Plastic flowers.
Are you going to eat plastic flowers?
I really don't get it about you.
Why don't you visit your mother with real flowers instead of plastic flowers?
You don't understand. I'll be very busy in my line of work.
I can't come to visit her often.
Plastic flowers can last longer without withering.
And what's keeping you so busy?
I'd like to buy a taxi.
A taxi? Can you drive it?
You can.
I've thought about it. I used to be so dependent on others for everything.
But I get nothing in return.
Why don't I try depending on myself?
We can invest in a taxi together.
It's expensive.
I've only got a shabby unlicensed car.
What do you have?
I've got an idea.
Two shabby necklaces, 3 pairs of shabby bracelets,
6 shabby finger rings,
One set of shabby sofas,
One shabby tea-table plus other accessories brings us a total of $5000.
What?
You've promised it'd be $5132.50!
Just forget the odd sum!
Okay, don't move the sofa!
Women are so particular!
What about the $2.50?
Personal affairs stay personal but business is business.
Is that okay?
This all belongs to the owner.
Take it as a temporary loan. We'll repay him once we have the money.
Otherwise, we can't make the down-payment.
Besides the down-payment, there's a monthly installment of $870.
Due on the first of month.
If payment is 7 days late, the car will be towed.
If it's delayed by 3 months, it'll be sold.
Insurance will be paid by you.
Any natural or man-made disasters will get no compensation.
Owner bears all responsibility. Sign here if you understand.
Alright. The taxi is yours. This car is now mine.
Alright, fellas! It's time to go!
How much do we have left?
Less than $100.
Let's spend it all tonight to celebrate.
Sure!
Starting tomorrow, we share 50% of the income I earn from driving the taxi.
Okay!
So, how's the curry?
Not bad, but it's a little spicy.
I'm sorry but its what I'm used to ordering.
That reminds me. How much do you have left?
15 cents, and you?
I've got a quarter. Take it all.
Come with me!
Buddy, the union has called for a strike. All taxi drivers are to stop.
Why are you still working?
I don't know.
I'm not working right now.
- I'm starting work tomorrow. - What?
Come here!
You can't start work till further notice.
Buddy, I just bought it today!
How am I going to pay the instalments?
What? Aren't you patriotic?
- What's happening? - How should I be patriotic?
- If I don't work I can't make a living! - What did you say?
I'm sorry. He's a little drunk. Let's go!
You're not allowed to work till further notice!
Otherwise, we'll burn your car, got it? Write down his license plate.
How much do we have left?
40 cents.
The Transit Company has announced that all routes
have stopped services due to riots.
Ferries and tramways
continue to offer limited service.
Taxis have stopped running for 6 consecutive weeks.
Its caused traffic to be paralyzed all over Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Unlicensed car driver!
What is it?
Did you sell all the furniture?
How will I tell the owner when he returns?
Couldn't you not report it?
I'm the one renting your house now. I'm the sub-landlord.
I have the right to rent out the place to others.
But I'm not renting the house.
I'm just renting the fridge and TV to others. Isn't that allowed?
No. You haven't paid last month's rent. How can you call yourself the sub-landlord?
How about this month?
It's 2 days till this month's is due. Come pick it up then!
If you don't pay the rent in 2 days return the furniture to its proper place.
Time for supper!
What do we have today?
Rice with oil and salt plus 2 preserved bean curds!
Fantastic! No salted fish today?
We ate it already.
Well, it's unhealthy to eat too much salted fish. Have some sauce!
It's ready. Come on up!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Blow out the candle.
Thanks. What's this?
We've got a big curry feast tonight!
We've got curry chicken, curry pig, curry fish,
curry beef, curry rabbits and curry tortoise.
Wish you longevity like a tortoise.
What will you eat?
I'll eat a curry rabbit.
Want any curry sauce?
No, thanks.
It tastes great.
The plans of mankind cannot compete with fate.
I planned to buy a taxi for a small business.
But unfortunately, we ran upon riots and strikes.
It's such a bother!
What a joke! A celebrity driving a taxi?
Don't make fun of me, director.
I'm merely a starlet.
How am I qualified to be a big-time star?
That's where you're wrong. You've been acting right in front of me all along.
Director.
Perhaps I've done things to offend because of my ignorance.
As a gentleman,
you wouldn't be mindful of a weak girl like me.
You're wrong about that. I'm known for being narrow-minded.
How would I not be mindful of these things?
Then you can give me a chance to make compensation for my faults.
Forget it. I can't help you.
However, since you're willing to come and beg on your knees,
I wouldn't just keep the door closed.
Thank you, director! I'll do anything!
Alright, you may go now.
I'll call you once there's a job available.
Thanks, director. I've got a friend. The both of us...
Got any other aunties too?
Thank you, director!
Have some barbecue pork. It's delicious!
What's wrong? Not used to it?
These clothes stink!
It's normal. I think acting's not bad at all.
We're supplied with food and money. Not bad at all!
Start working! Get to work!
Get ready, everyone! Time to start up!
Are you ready? Get ready!
We're getting ready!
Lonely Woman. Take 1!
Things are different now, Xiao-Lan.
I can't take care of you now.
Eat more while you still can! Eat more!
You damned jinx!
You've jinxed my son death ever since you married him!
Now, you've even eaten my birthday buns!
No, madam!
I've forgot my lines, director.
Stay calm and take it easy.
Things are different now, ma'am.
No...I forgot to wipe off the sweat.
Scene 4, Take 3!
Things are different now. You eat even when there's nothing for you...
I made a mistake, director.
Take 9.
I can't help you. Eat while you still can.
Cut!
Take 10!
Cut!
Cut!
Take 12!
Cut!
Ready? Action!
Cut!
Take 18
You damned jinx!
No! She hit me so hard!
Forget it! Let's take a break!
Bring me a glass of water.
Cut!
Director.
This is the best I can do. I can't get any better.
I give up. I'm not doing this!
Damn you!
Even a film extra calls out “Cut”. No sense of authority at all!
Then, what am I?
I'll fire him. Don't worry.
Director.
Disgusting!
You! Get the hell out of here!
I'll quit. I don't think we'll starve!
How dare you say that! I had to beg him for ages to get these roles.
Now you've ruined it!
I just feel sorry for you.
You've been badly tortured,
bullied and cursed at by others.
We're now in a serious debt. We need to make some money.
Can't you just persevere for once?
If you want me to persevere, that's not a problem!
But couldn't you not turn to your ex-beau?
I'm a woman!
I can't be a coolie. What else can I do?
You're a man. You should find a solution!
There's nothing I can do!
I can't do any better than your old boyfriends!
Paul? Didn't you go back to America?
Yes. I just returned yesterday. I didn't see you in America.
So I came here to ask if I offended you last time we met.
Wait a minute.
It's alright. Paul has come back. He can help us.
Say no more. I don't need his help.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Are you sure?
It's okay. I'm doing fine these days.
Give me a call if there's any need.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye!
It angers me to see this.
What happened? - It's that guy from last time.
What's going on, buddy?
Get off the car now!
Stay there!
Don't let him run! Go after him!
Stop the car.
I've told you to stop working but you still do it!
Stop the car! Stop it!
Come out! Come out!
Drag him out!
Come out!
Drop dead!
Start working?
I've got no money. I must start work. I must!
Work?
Don't!
I've decided to leave but not by plane.
When?
Tomorrow afternoon.
Then what about our business?
Paul took care of it by returning the money to the bank.
Let's take it as a loss.
I can't repay you so soon.
That's okay. Take your time.
Okay, thank you.
Packing up?
Yes.
Can you not do it?
Don't pack up!
I know I've got nothing.
But I'm truly sincere.
The boat floating in the middle of the sea.
It will float ashore one day.
Let's give it another try.
Don't pack up!
Don't bother me, unlicensed cabbie! You're just a car driver!
I'm an actor. A movie star.
Don't assume that I'll stay with you after we co-financed a taxi!
There's a lot more things that I want!
I like to ride on airplanes! I like to dress pretty!
I love eating western food! I love dancing at ballroom parties!
Can you dance?
Look at your own clothes!
Let me ask you this! Do you think you can go to ballroom parties
or eat western food dressed like this?
I love money! Do you have any money?
Are you rich?
All you can do is drive that unlicensed car of yours!
Or even your taxi!
Am I right, cabbie?
I'm sorry, movie star.
I'm so sorry, movie star!
Kung told me to bring the money.
He's upstairs.
No need. It's all the same if I gave it to you.
To me?
Yes, he said he didn't want to be in your debt.
He asked me to return the money to you.
Did he apologize to you about the incident last time?
No.
So why are you helping him with the money?
I'm different from you.
What you have is youth and opportunities.
I have nothing.
I only want to use the money to buy the things that I like.
Anyway, just accept the money and I'll feel better.
Thanks.
Alright.
But you've got to promise me that you'll hand this letter over to Kung after I leave.
Are you leaving?
Which flight?
I'm going by boat at 7:30.
Bon voyage!
Thanks.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?
Why did you come here?
I came to see you.
Do I look nice now?
Look...feast your eyes upon me!
You're actually very fond of her.
Go find her.
She really likes you too.
She asked me to give you this.
She wanted me to give it to you after she'd gone.
She's taking the 7:30 ship. You still have time.
Go!
Take my car!
Kung!
I actually had the thought of wanting to live with you.
You're the best man I've ever met.
But I'm a woman who brings nothing but trouble.
I don't want to stand in your way.
I've made you lose everything.
You even got a beating.
I feel so sorry.
I think it'd be better for both of us
if we seperated.
Please forgive me. Take care.

Miss, please buy a packet of chewing gum from me!
How old are you, little girl?
Ten years old.
Why do you work at such a young age?
I don't know. I need to make a living.
Where's your mother?
She's dead.
Will you buy a pack of chewing gum, lady?
All for me?
Thank you, auntie.
Excuse me! Excuse me!
It's about time. Let's get on board!
We'll still have to sit and wait on the boat.
Why don't we sit here a little longer?

I don't know. I'm just the cleaner.
