Like it?
Woo! Like it?
The pastry chef is a genius.
Bet he knows I am a British born Chinese.
And marry a real Chinese woman
I was telling them the pastry chef is a genius,
when he does Chinese figures, they look Chinese.
What's so funny about that?
Thomas, where are your humors?
Marry a Mainland woman is a humor itself.
So you say.
Miss Wang will show you how to cut the cake.
Come on! Me? Show her?
OK, I will.
I'll show you how to cut up men.
She asks my wife not to worry.
She's going to teach her how to cut up men.
Look what you've done.
Come on, cut the cake!
Come on!
Music please!
How'd you cut it!
How do I know? It's the first time for me too.
Like this? Go ahead!
They're all waiting to have a taste of us!
Great!
Please!
You make me fretful and spellbound all the time, my landlady.
Nonsense. You know what I come for.
Let me sit down first.
I'm sorry, you know as an artist.
Like the lady here, always like to sit on the floor.
Moreover, these chairs've been filled with books since last night.
Now you can see.
Let a rich lady like you sit on the floor.
And wear a designer label... let me see.
Hey. It is funny. You are an artist?
If you are, why not move over to Soho?
Oh yes. You know what Soho is?
Right, you know better than I do.
Listen to me if you still do not pay your rent.
I'll cut your electricity and water supply.
No big deal. Go ahead.
What?
I said: "Go ahead"!
Where is the phone?
It's here.
But I prefer to use the public phone outside.
It takes 25 cents, but it works.
Why shack up with a foreigner who's broke?
Hey! In Mandarin please!
I give up.
OK! Have it your way.
It's just my luck.
Whatever rent you owe,
just consider it as my treat to a dinner.
But you have to get loss by next week.
Fine with me.
I haven't had Chinese for a long time.
You don't look like someone who goes for Chinese anyway.
This is an ultimatum. You get loss by next week.
Yes, madam!
I wonder if you still know Chinese.
Stop it!
You bastard. What'd you think I am?
What are you doing? Bastard! Stop it!
You... don't leave. You come back here.
Bitch. Fuck you.
It's you to fuck off. Damn it!
You son of a bitch.
The funeral marches on.
We pass through the city.
We strike along the river.
I'm so sad.
Gloomy skies.
Miss Wang, be sad but not desperate.
Remember, you are a superb Arabian horse.
Does China raise any good horse?
Yes, in Han Dynasty, we had sky horse.
The country wept for the casualties of war.
Dove!
Yes!
Add one line, I am dead with my boots on.
My hero is dying with his boots.
The line keeps on moving.
Your warriors are heading before me.
Then it is me, dove, and your horses for war.
The war band is playing the funeral sonata.
Oh, my god. Here I go.
Are you coming?
I came!
Should I say "Here I come" or "There I go"?
It is not the time for me to teach English.
Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. Frank Mac. How are you?
Good morning. Good morning. Thank you.
The weather is so good.
Hi, good morning! Mrs. Pan.
Thank you! You're welcome.
Which floor? Fourteenth!
I'm, sorry.
It's me. My dear.
Where are you? Listen, I got a letter from mother.
Really?
I bet it's the same old stuff:
How are you, I miss you...
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll be late tonight.
A business meeting.
Be back as soon as I can, O.K. Dear?
I've already bought some steaks.
You sound just like an American housewife.
You can practice doing them medium-rate.
Or I can get Miss Wang to keep you company.
Which Miss Wang?
You've met her at our wedding.
She taught you how to cut up men, remember?
What makes you think she has the time?
Artists always have time.
I'll give her a call.
Then I'll call you back, O.K.?
O.K. Bye!
How come New York is also called "Big Apple".
How come New York is also called "Big Apple".
How come New York is also called "Big Apple".
Go ask any New Yorker.
He or she will say "Why not?"
Go ask any New Yorker.
He or she will say "Why not?"
What is this?
Hunan Garden. I heard the food is quite good.
Oh! Shit!
Here to pay rent?
It's got nothing to do with me.
Two?
I'll do it! Fine!
Smoking, this way!
I smoke, and this side is non-smoking.
You can't smoke here?
Even so, no reason for her to be so rude.
It's alright, let's move!
You order! O.K.?
Peking duck in a Hunan restaurant?
It's Chinese food for Americans prepared by Cantonese.
It's Chinese food prepared by Chinese in a Chinese restaurant.
Yeah, Chinese dish adapted
for American tastes.
No, you're the Chinese dish adapted for American tastes.
Hey, come on. What do you mean by that?
Hey, cut it out! Ridiculous.
What's there to argue?
We're all Chinese, why argue?
It doesn't look good
in front of others.
Right? No more now.
An Angel just flew over
Order now.
What did you say?
I said: An angel just flew over,
and scared us all into silence.
Really?
What's so funny?
It'd be ideal for a Chinese,
to have a house in Hong Kong.
One in Taipei, one in Beijing,
one in Tokyo,
and also Paris and New York.
Queens?
At least in Manhattan!
Hey, you're in the right track.
We have an apartment in Midtown.
Did you get someone to read the Feng Shui?
Geomancy?
It's very important.
I do it whenever I buy property.
Do you Mainlanders believe in Feng Shui?
Some do, and some don't.
You must believe it, it really works.
When I first came here.
I kept losing money on stocks and real estate.
Then someone told me, since I'm from Hong Kong.
Unless I blend in with the Chi in this country,
nothing is going to work.
I was told to open all the windows at night.
New York is so noisy but I have to do it.
But then things really began to look up.
So if you want to make it here,
you have to blend in with the local Chi.
I should open the windows too?
Yes, of course!
Zhaohong, you believe in this?
I've never thought about it, have you?
Never!
Anyway, it's interesting to talk about it.
Excuse me!
How do you know I'm here?
Who are they?
One is an actress from Taiwan.
The other is from China,
who just married a Chinese, American.
They live in a pretty good area.
I saw what you saw.
That woman is in real estate in Chinatown.
Quite well-known. She's a lesbian.
A what?
A female homosexual.
When I was living in the factory dorm.
A female worker, real skinny.
She came to my bed one night,
saying afraid of ghosts.
Later I heard she was homosexual.
China has a long history
of homosexuality.
Nonsense!
Read "The Chronicles of Han"!
I didn't study history in Taiwan for nothing.
How come you're an actress now?
People change.
Now I end up shaving my armpits, my legs...
and whatever when necessary.
What're you talking about?
Are your relatives going to join you here?
Of course, I want to bring my mother over to stay with us.
Thomas agreed?
Well, my parent is his parent.
Oh yeah?
Mr. Lee.
Mr. Chow is most anxious to meet your daughter.
I'll fixed a good day next week.
For the two families to get together.
Fine!
That was fast,
like you wanted to get married yourself.
As her father,
It's my duty to arranger her marriage.
See if the guests want anything else.
All right!
You know that building,
opposite Taipei Station next to Hilton Hotel?
It costs 3 million Taiwan dollars per "ping".
That much?
It sold out in no time.
Hey, Ah-Dee, it's good news.
Why don't you bag the garbage?
She's back!
Ah Jiau, you're back!
I was just telling your father.
I want to introduce you to a gentleman named Chow.
He's a good match for you.
Career-minded!
He was the third Chinese,
from Chinatown to break into Midtown.
How come he's not the first?
It's better to be prudent.
Prudent while willing to take risks.
Working hard? I'm used to it
He's outside right now.
Let me introduce you and see how you feel.
Mr. Chow would like to take you tomorrow.
To see an apartment he wants to buy.
You can have a boyfriend and business partner in one.
I might not be interested.
Right Dad?
Spoiled brat!
It doesn't matter.
Why don't you take a peek at him first.
All right!
Are you kidding! One needs company for this?
For this he's going to treat me to a dinner.
Good night!
Thank you!
May we'll ask her to do us favor.
Look over that building with us tomorrow.
Right now, it's dollar twenty-three.
Tomorrow, up or down, you buy them for me.
Where did you get your information?
The newspaper says,
they're going to open stories through out Taiwan next year.
You know, Taiwan is just like Hong Kong.
Everyone trusts herbal medicine.
They're going to make a lot of money.
Bye!
You're sure now?
They've doubled in price in less that a year.
Don't forgot to buy for me tomorrow.
How can my account be short?
Unless you've been spending my money on your lovers.
Don't forget. Bye!
What time tomorrow?
Don't think Auntie's a nag.
I was on my own since my early teens.
It wasn't easy until I married at twenty.
When you have a husband, you have someone to lean on.
It's still making a living.
But now you don't need to push yourself so hard.
You don't think like this when you're young.
Wait until you get older. Just look at me.
I used to push myself so hard.
I didn't even realize until I got married.
I've been through all this.
Jiau, trust me.
Women get married eventually,
the later the harder on yourself.
Stella, let's buy that building on Houston.
It's tough enough to do restaurants.
But you get into stocks, properties and money market too.
Any New York is not enough,
you have to do it in Hong Kong too.
How can you have energy left for boyfriends?
If I unload all my energy on a guy.
I don't think he's able to take it.
Thomas!
Try again!
Can homosexual have orgasms?
I can't figure them out.
I tell you what,
this is the best time for hetero sex.
There's so many things.
I can't figure out in this world.
A lot of things I can's figure out either.
Like the Chinese Chi Kung, like geomancy,
like acupuncture. How do these things work?
What are you doing?
What do you think you are doing?
My friend told me,
to let the Chi of New York come in.
I almost forgot.
Open all the windows, let the Chi come in.
The Chi of New York, the Chi of China.
Maybe it'll blow my mother here.
You'll have both of us come down with pneumonia!
How long does it have to flow?
At least ten minutes.
All the singulars are mine.
Yeah, it's over now.
This one seems to be mine.
It is a pair. It's mine.
Give it to me though. Separate the pair.
Each of us gets one for keeps. All right?
Which book did you take? This is mine.
The diary of George Olden. I almost forgot?
Mr. Wang, I return your daughter to you.
It was I who suggested we split.
He probably felt he lost face.
That's why he said those stupid things.
This is the first time you hit anyone for my sake.
Last time with that Lithuanian.
Eight months.
That's why I didn't slap him.
Keeping time for me!
Sorry to have involved you in this stupid mess.
What's upsetting you? That thing in Taiwan?
That thing in Taiwan is an insult!
Where're you going to stay?
West village, not far from here.
Still don't want to stay with me?
How's Bao Di?
Sometimes she writes nothing,
sometimes 10,000 words a day.
Whatever, she insists on cooking for me.
I'm a lousy cook.
See you, Dad!
I'll give you the phone number and address tonight.
Your Sung Hui Tsung Calligraphy!
West Village please.
Miss Lee, I'm Chow Chong Keung.
Mr. Chow? Yes!
Come have a look. Don't worry. It'll work out.
How are you?
Excuse me!
This is Mr. Kung Ming Hsiung, my partner.
Let's go.
It's Wang Hsiung Ping. I'll be right down.
That was fast! Sorry!
Come in!
I have to make a call.
Zhao Hong, this is Wang.
I'll be right over. Wait for me, O.K.? Bye!
Sorry I've to meet someone.
Won't be too late.
Shit!
I think I'll buy this one.
We should buy the whole building.
Too risky!
Let's buy this unit first and see what happen.
When you think it's time, others will think the same.
Then you'll have to pay a lot more.
I say we take the risk now.
That's how you win.
I think Mr. Kung is right.
I'll think on it.
What is there to think about?
Business is all about taking risks.
I'm the one taking the risks.
I'm also taking a risk.
Mr. Chow, I heard you're the third Chinese
to open a restaurant Midtown.
Yes, doing business in New York, you have to plan for the future.
See how things develop, and move steadily.
See how it works.
Sometimes Americans are to fussy...
Especially about places owned by Chinese.
They say it's greasy and smelly from Chinese cooking.
They cut our prices for things like this.
Restaurant business is the same,
too much salt, too little salt, too much MSG.
You know, if they don't like it, they won't come.
It's better to do well in Chinatown first.
Rather than rushing to Midtown before you're ready.
That's why you're not the first.
Well, being first sounds nice.
But you could also be the first to fail.
I'm not like that, I like taking risks.
I know you have to take risks in business.
But they should be calculated risks.
It's better to let others try Midtown first.
And see how they do.
When I do business, I want a guarantee for profit.
Mr. Chow, I've to go now. What?
I'll give you a call.
So soon? Can we have dinner this evening?
I'm busy.
Let me drive you.
It's all right. Bye bye!
Hey, Chow, what the hell you think you're doing?
None of these chairs is fit for sitting.
That's not the concern of the designers.
Designers simply design.
Their products are displayed as art.
That's why you find them strange.
Would you buy stuff like this when you have a home?
That depends on whether I want a home or not.
How about you?
Certainly not!
But everything is so confusing now.
Even our bedsheets are bought by Thomas.
Really?
Shall we got this chair.
For Lee when she gets married?
What'd you say?
Why not!
Thomas. What?
Please come out for awhile? Yes sure!
What's the matter?
Would you please help me tie the knots?
Sure!
Thanks!
Aren't we like a couple of the Hollywood movies?
How many Hollywood movies have you seen?
Have you noticed something?
What?
I've been speaking English.
I've noticed, and you speak very well.
Sexy?
I feel the way I speak is sexy.
I think your Shanhainese
was sexy in Shanghai.
Now?
We still have time.
I don't mind doing my lips again.
Don't you mind to tie the knots again?
It's so seducing.
But we always feel embarrassing.
Wearing black eyes to the boss's home.
Thomas.
I want to bring my mother over.
You know her life is hard. Yeah, I know.
I really miss her.
Yeah, I know.
We're running late, we should be there by 7.
Oh yeah, tonight is so care free.
You don't have to force yourself to speak English, OK?
I think you should just unpack.
It's all right.
Your father still tells you to copy out that stuff?
Nobody can tell me to do anything.
How is he? Haven't seen him for a while.
Still the same. Writing some lousy articles,
fooling around with Peking Opera.
I heard he's living
with a Mainland woman.
That's his version of charity.
Says the woman suffered a lot during the Cultural Revolution.
He wants to help her to write a book.
He's playing the role so well.
Makes me look like a phoney,
yet I'm always between jobs.
Are you still keeping this?
Must be over ten years.
This is my only interview.
Done in Taiwan, but still worth keeping.
Let me frame it for you.
What for? Where would I hang it?
In your apartment?
You're tired. Go to bed. Early audition tomorrow.
I won't let my landlord sleep in the couch.
What do you have in mind? Paying rent?
I have an American girlfriend now.
I'm thinking if I should get married.
No way. Why?
It does not work me for here.
What are you auditioning tomorrow?
Macbeth. At least I can do it standing up.
Alone?
Aren't we always?
Still busy at this hour?
What will you have?
You have anything solid?
Duck's head. That's solid!
When the duck is cooked,
only the mouth remains tough.
How come you're also alone?
No choice?
We had a dinner date with American friends.
And then?
Boring. Just forget it.
You two only come to me when you're bored.
I'll be right back.
Sorry, we just have a full house.
But we made reservation.
Come! What for?
Just follow me!
What're you two doing?
Too crowded. We'll eat in the kitchen.
Great! Plenty of duck heads in the kitchen.
Help yourselves.
I'm making room for your business.
Would that be a bother?
Only special friends are allowed in the kitchen.
Come on! What, having a party?
Be careful!
Lo Dow, take care of Mrs. Poon and Ms. Wang for me.
They love duck heads,
let them do the dishes afterward.
Great! Americans don't like the head.
You can eat all you want.
Eat as much as you like.
Duck heads go well with drinks.
The Taiwanese in Flushing Meadow make snake wine.
Made with South American poisonous snakes.
Almost as good as that made in Canton, try some.
Get a couple of clean glasses.
Make yourselves at home. I'll be back.
What does Lo Dow mean?
Lo Dow means daddy.
You're her father! I had no idea.
We're both worked very hard.
First in Hong Kong, then in New York.
Too bad she only has girlfriends, no boyfriends.
Didn't she meet a boyfriend today?
She didn't like him.
I'm meeting my girlfriend tonight. Not bad.
Which one? Dish-washer Jane?
Anyone would be better than her!
What? They're joking about the dishwasher.
Ah-Jane is the dish-washer.
Dad, is the Peking duck of table 2 ready?
Ready, Ben, take the duck out now.
Is the serving rack ready?
Ready. Just waiting for you. O.K.!
It's tough to make it in New York.
Hong Kong people running Hunan restaurant Serving Peking duck.
That's what I meant by trying to make it. It's tough.
I know how to do a Peking duck.
You do? Let's see how you blow.
Here?
You grab here and blow.
Blow through here. Go on, try hard.
Isn't this the ass?
Chef Lee's ass is as tough as they come.
You should feel honored.
We've asked many times, he would never teach us.
What do you say?
You're his first woman pupil!
You're drunk.
I'm not drunk.
Then how come your face is all red?
That's just my color. I'm not drunk.
Is this a laughter break?
Tell me isn't this the duck's ass?
Of course it is.
They're all saying I'm drunk.
Lo Dow, can you take your daughter's place for a while?
Let me have a drink with her. Alright!
Come on! Have a sip.
Come on.
You're all together with your fathers. I really envy you.
And I envy you for having a nice husband!
Drink up!
This is New York, New York!
Yes, you are right.
Let me tell you.
China has one, one... one damn it.
One billion people!
No, it's 1.1 billion.
Think about it, half a billion Chinese women.
Imagine half a billion women stamping at once.
Can we hear it in New York?
Wait a minute,
you're in New York,
not China.
Do you mind speaking Mandarin?
Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong.
You're drunk.
She's not drunk, she's crazy.
Are you going crazy?
I want to see your shaved legs.
Half a billion, shave the legs.
Zhao Hong shave the legs.
Lee Fung Jiau shave the legs.
Wang Hsiung Ping shave the legs.
Half a billion, shave the legs.
I always hear you complaining.
Why don't you pull yourself together and really do something.
Will you go back to Shanghai?
Hope not!
You bastard! Get married and look like this.
I believe I should have Chinese food all my life.
I am done.
When shall we dine out at China town again?
Next week? Alright!
This week? Alright!
Then the coming Saturday. OK!
Li and Ni are heroes of the martial world.
They do not seek high offices,
but roam the world instead.
To eat and get drunk.
To sleep with my clothes on.
To wake at the same cock-crow.
The rooster rudely ended my reverie.
By the riverside, my two friends urged me.
To turn away from fishing.
There can be glory in defeat.
The KMT was never defeated.
I'm staying with Wu.
There's still some problems.
I understand.
She doesn't talk much. That's her attraction.
What've you been writing lately? Writing?
My memoire? I've give that up.
Bao Di's painful past
is my memoire.
A letter from mom.
It's been so many year's. Are you homesick?
Homesick? Homesick for where?
It's been 40 years since the Communists grabbed power.
We can represent... represent...
Bao Di, let's get dinner ready.
Come, let me introduce you.
Financial news from Taiwan?
It's something.
I tell you, Taiwan is getting richer and richer.
Bao Di,
my daughter Wang Hsiung Ping.
Hello! Hello!
She's very sad.
Suffered a lot during the Cultural Revolution.
I have to help her.
What was the news?
Dad, very interesting.
The Democratic Progressive Party is determined,
to get rid of all you old Representatives.
It's rumored that the old guys will vacate their seats,
for NT $10 million each
from the government.
What? Ten million? That's right!
I'll write to tell them I won't retire.
Not even for 20 million!
We represent the entire 400 million Chinese.
10 million is a shame!
Dad, 10 million is pretty good.
Who are you representing all these 20 years in America?
One can save his country even overseas.
Can I help?
I'm alright.
How did that happen?
Ridiculous! Simply ridiculous?
I don't think anyone will take this 10 million.
I went along.
How could they come up with this.
When you lift the newspaper ban;
It get all over the papers.
We here in America
must set a good example.
Let them know that
not everything can be bought.
A gentleman will not live on charity.
This 10 million is charity.
Ridiculous! Shame!
Shame!
Yes, it's a shame to take the 10 million.
I won't accept it, I can't accept it.
The shame's on you!
Are you crazy? What's going on...?
Bao Di, What did you tell her?
She only saw... what you had to do.
I took it, to write my book.
They go skiing with their kids every weekend.
Where to ski?
To Fairmont, or up state.
There are many places to go.
But they are small kids. They have to keep an eye on them.
Their kids have no patience.
Once arrived they urge for skiing.
You scream and yell. Do you think they'll listen to you?
That's why need an eye on them.
But kids are short.
It doesn't matter if they ever fall down.
It's dangerous anyway. Yes!
Hot pot beef is the most favorite dish for Thomas when he was young.
It's still my most favorite dish now.
That's why I'm making one for you today.
It's simple. Just need good pieces of shank.
She wants to teach you how to make this dish.
I love to learn.
Ain't I look like a Chinese granny.
You are like my mom.
Does my mom look like a Cheese granny?
How would I know?
What did she say?
She said she didn't know.
You're her first grandma.
Yes!
You know Americans do not like their in-laws.
Not me. I like your mom.
I cleaned up the store room this morning.
I get out those old stuff of yours.
See if you want to dump them of bring them along with you.
OK, no problem.
I don't know how to handle one thing.
What?
Your grandpa's shrine.
The Pan's ancestor's shrine.
I remember. I thought you already dumped it.
It's still here.
Let me see.
What for!
Just a look.
My son is short-tempered.
I heard at the time of the Cultural Revolution.
All the Mainland Chinese families destroyed their ancestor's shrines.
Ancestors' shrines?
You know, the little red wooden box.
A board with your ancestor names on it.
Incense worship... Ancestor's shrine.
I know! The ancestors' shrine. Right!
My mom engraved my father's name.
At the back of a chair of our home.
How come?
At the time of the Cultural Revolution, no ancestors' shrine.
Really?
Come here and see what I had found.
Thomas, get it downstairs.
Nothing, mom. It should have a century from now.
Is there any collector specializing in keeping this kind of antique?
Keep it here. What do you think?
I always want to dump it, yet not sure if this is right.
I do hate symbolic stuff.
There are a lot in China town.
If you want, go and buy a new one.
Get it down, and wash your hands.
Yes mom.
Am I late? No!
Nice location. Sometimes location is more important,
than the building itself. Let's go!
Is that Stella?
I'm not...
It's not that. I'm sorry!
We can just be friends.
Dear Mom, you and father studied here,
and went back to China 40 years ago.
20 years ago,
father was persecuted to death for this very reason.
Now I want to bring you back, to where you left 40 years ago.
It's not just that I miss you.
You see, Thomas... how can I explain?
He really is an American.
They simply don't understand that,
many people in China only have...
You're back.
Writing to your mother?
Tough? What?
It's always tough when I write to my mother.
There's nothing to say,
except "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry".
"Zhao Hong never gives me a hard time".
Thomas never gives me a hard time either, right?
I told my mother I have two good friends.
One from Taiwan, one from Hong Kong.
Thomas, let's bring my mother...
Wait a minute!
Have I told you before,
the first time I saw you.
What made you so attractive to me?
Your black hair.
Oh! Thomas!
So do you agree?
What?
To bring my mother over.
What do you mean by that? I don't understand.
Is it really necessary?
Yeah sure, your mother has suffered a lot.
I'm moved and she has my deepest sympathy.
But you should realize the Americans.
You're an American now.
We don't see.
Why we have to live with our parents all our lives.
We're adults.
They wouldn't want us to live with them,
Right?
Yes, right, A lot of Chinese are like that too.
But... my case is different.
O.K.! Listen to me.
I do wish you could understand, at that time,
me and my mother, of course I was still young.
I didn't realize what my mother had done for me.
As I became older,
my father passed away 20 years ago.
My mother was the only person I had in the world.
I really can't just leave her.
You don't understand, you really don't.
You must also respect my rights.
Learn how to become an American.
Haven't I learnt from you
"Oh, my God"!
Oh, my God!
Maybe you should go talk
to a psychiatrist
Go to hell!
Get your psychiatrist to Mainland China to see for himself.
Hey! What's the matter?
Where are you going?
Shit! Damn blood stain, damn it!
One. Two spots!
So we can go ahead now.
It's so dark in hell.
Shit! Holy shit.
You are a soldier. Get scared too?
Since I don't care how people think about me.
How come we're afraid of letting people know?
Who knows this old man had so much blood.
Can I continue the acting? I can change one act.
Please!
There are still some bloody smells.
All the Arabian scents.
Cannot make this little hand smell good.
Miss Wang, you are a Chinese woman.
What make you think you can play Madam Mack?
Don't you need a multi-racial actor?
Yes!
But why does a Chinese woman or a Japanese woman.
Feel she can play Madam Mack?
About two thousand years ago.
There is a Empress of the Han Dynasty of China, Empress Lu.
She helps here husband.
Who becomes the Emperor later, to establish the kingdom.
When the Emperor dies.
She calls on her arch rival,
the beloved concubine of the Emperor.
Chop off her 2 arms and 2 legs.
Extract her 2 eyes, cut off her 2 ears.
Trim off her nose, pull out her tongue.
But never let her die.
Keep her in the pig stable.
Call her "Human pig"
With an ancestor Empress Lu.
Am I not qualified to play Madam Mack?
Thank you, Miss Wang. You can step down now.
Thanks.
It's Beautiful!
Come, you pour.
Let me pour for you.
It's freezing here!
Weather report says heavy snow tonight.
First snow, that's messy!
Let's drink to our friendship.
Come on!
Zhao Hong, What'd you think we should drink to next?
To snow in New York!
To the first snow in New York!
It's started snowing!
Yeah... It's snowing!
Really snowing!
Hey, we have to drink up.
Bottoms up.
Now we can't toast any more.
Come you make the toast, Oh, no.
Jiau Jiau, you make the toast.
Bottoms up!
There's still a bit left. We can have another toast.
Come, hurry up!
Let's have a toast.
Let's each drink to herself!
Let's just leave it here!
