Original subtitles

Will the bride recite her wedding vows?

I, Macy Wong, take Antonio...

What's your surname?

Tombolini.

...Tombolini, to be my lawfully wedded husband.

To have and to hold, from this day forth

for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer

in sickness and in health

to love and to cherish, until the end of time.

I promise to be faithful to you forever.

Please sign the certificate.

You keep this.

Okay.

Wai is waiting, I must go.

Okay, bye.

Bye Lucca! Bye Antonio!

I'll leave you two alone on your wedding night.

Macy, I don't know how to thank you.

You're welcome.

Once Antonio... Tombolini...

...gets his residency, we'll get a divorce.

Many friends need my help. Take this.

Alright. Thanks!

Take care! Thank you so much!

Bye, see you. Alright, bye.

Have fun.

Hello miss, is this your first time here? Yes.

Today is Tuesday, it's "Lesbian Night".

It's usually Thursday at my regular spot.

But I felt like going out tonight.

Welcome.

Hello!

You're here?

I have something important to discuss.

Wait, let me introduce you to a friend.

Helen, this is Macy, she's the one I told you about.

Hello!

We come here every Tuesday.

Join us whenever you're free.

Okay!

We have a different agenda each week.

In fact, we were just discussing gender roles in patriarchal society.

We were wondering why only men...

are allowed to dress in men's clothing.

Whereas people like us who opt for the unisex look...

And big boobs! Right...

...are labelled deviant.

I used to love discussing gender politics

but soon lost interest.

Wait, are you even a lesbian?

If not, don't waste our time.

I was many years ago, twice, in fact, before turning straight.

Then I went back to being a lesbian.

Now I'm kind of in between.

I do what feels natural.

You don't know what you are!

You're a freak!

You attack dominant culture for...

treating a tomboy like a freak.

Yet you're intolerant of people like me?

I don't mind hanging out with bi-girls

but I won't fall for them.

When they can't deal with men they turn to women.

When they get tired, they go back to men.

Yes, bi-girls are irresponsible, they just "eat and run".

I'm different. Once I get into bed, I stay for at least 6 months.

I'm monogamous.

You're marginalizing bisexuality.

How's that different from heterosexual hegemony?

You say, besides men and women...

there are other options.

Why can't we accept all sexual preferences?

Besides homosexuals, heterosexuals

there are bisexuals.

Within bi-girls community

there are those that are 4/6 bi, 3/7, 2/8...

Don't get Macy started on gender politics, she won't stop.

We're here to have fun, let's not get so serious?

I have some bad news.

Eleanor and I have been planning to adopt.

After a long application process

we were rejected, today.

Should we stage a protest?

I'll support you.

We tried applying as single women.

But the orphanage said

our chances would be higher if we applied

to adopt a disabled child.

Most women would opt for abortion

if they knew their foetus had a defect.

It's a clear case of discrimination against unwed mothers.

That's why I'm thinking of marrying Lucca.

Where is Lucca? Why can't we find him?

He's on his honeymoon with his Italian lover.

He's too busy to marry you.

I've taken piano for 10 years

Level 8.

I have a grand piano at home.

I can play for you.

Great.

I never would have guessed that you were a musician.

How could you know?

If I weren't busy getting four master degrees

I'd be a piano virtuoso too.

You have four master degrees?

The HK lesbian scene is small, can't you try harder?

Wai won't relax until we find you a lover.

She thinks I'm still having an affair with you.

I'm fed up, I feel like turning straight.

Again? See what happens with Helen first.

These women are completely out of my league.

I'm going back to sleep.

I'll come see you tomorrow after work.

Bye.

Bye! Bye!

It's the right of every woman...

to decide whether to have a baby.

Whether she's unwed or single...

or a pregnant woman whose foetus has a defect

our center will provide emotional support...

counselling and prenatal education.

Here, each woman makes her own decision.

If she decides to give birth

we provide all the necessary support services.

Yes?

Many decide to give birth but change their minds.

What measures are in place...

to handle such cases?

In fact such cases are quite common.

Many mothers suffer

from post-partum depression.

They bring their children here

and abandon them like orphans.

But after some time, they return for their kids.

We actually don't want the kids...

Anita!

Sorry.

Anita!

Hello!

You're pregnant?

You too?

The women who come here are all pregnant.

Sit down!

Your hair is an inch longer but you haven't changed.

You haven't changed either.

But it's hard to imagine you pregnant too.

I'm pregnant but I'm still single.

I'm single too.

No wonder, you went back to being straight.

The lesbian scene is small... but I couldn't find you

No!? You looked for me?

Since you left me,

I was scared to love another girl.

We were too young back then.

Life is short, I wanted to experience the world.

I haven't seen much of the world.

I've been with a few men.

I always got hurt in the end.

I got tired of the game so I surf the net.

I hook up with random people...

Think of your pregnancy as a pleasant surprise.

Pleasant surprise?

It's still your pet phrase?

Really? Did I used to say it a lot?

I feel like...

we're destined to have children and to raise them together.

Maybe it's fate.

Surprise.

It's a surprise.

You think we're innocent girls

who get knocked up their first time out?

Our biological clocks

made us reckless.

I'm going down. I live uptown.

I'll see you home.

I love you.

Don't try to sweet talk me.

If you dump me again, I won't survive this time.

I'm so scared!

It's my baby... it's scared.

I'll walk you home.

Yes, please.

(10 weeks ago)

Hello?

Mike, what colour are you wearing?

Did you see someone with a pink scarf at the door?

I'm wearing a black jacket.

I see you.

Hi! Hi!

I'm having Sex...

You first.

Your shirt is flashy.

Thanks.

I'm having "Sex on the beach".

Would you like to try?

On the beach?

That's very adventurous.

No, I'm talking about a drink.

"Sex on the beach" is too much for me.

I'll have a straight vodka.

Okay.

Two straight vodkas, please.

Do I look different from the picture I sent you?

About the same.

Are you free later?

Yes, and you?

I've reserved myself for you.

You'd better tell me about yourself first.

I'm single.

And?

Single.

I've told you all about myself...

Now it's your turn. There's nothing to tell...

No!

Impossible!

You're better looking than my previous boyfriends.

Cockroach! Behind you!

Don't step on it...

Stop...

It's gone!

Did you crush it?

Better to be safe.

Now I have to wash.

Sorry, I was so quick.

You're all talk and no play.

Hey...

Don't cry, I should be crying.

Hey, it's okay.

Don't cry.

Baby, don't cry.

I'll go wash.

I can do better in the next!

Why make a fool of myself again?

Shit!

What if you can't get

pregnant later on?

I know it's my last chance.

I scheduled an abortion but...

I can't go through with it!

I never imagined that I'd get pregnant.

I popped sleeping pills.

I smoke, I drank...

And I took diet pills.

They're all harmful for mature pregnant women.

But as long as the father is healthy

it shouldn't be an issue.

With proper prenatal care and it'll be alright.

I'm not the type that "eats and runs".

I was a mess that night.

I was afraid to face you, I wanted to call...

I just want to know whether you're healthy or not?

You think I have STDs?

You're the only person I've ever done it with.

Don't you trust me?

There was one other time but...

I got kicked out in the middle.

What?

You didn't even finish once?

What a liar!

Tell me exactly how old you are?

Almost 20...

I'm in college.

Don't...

Get lost, kid!

I have a rival?

May I help you?

I want an abortion.

I've changed my mind.

I want to cancel the abortion appointment.

Having a baby is a major decision.

I wouldn't have bothered you if...

Maybe this organization can help you.

Luckily, the staff gave me this address.

We finally meet again after 12 years and we're both pregnant.

It must be fate?

Fate? More like a surprise.

Eleanor?

I had a big surprise today.

Catch you later, bye.

Here it is.

It's quiet here.

Bye. Bye.

I'll walk you to the gate.

Hey... Yes?

I never wore the ballet shoes you gave me.

But I had them framed. They're hanging on my wall.

Really?

I must see then, I'll walk you home!

My office is on the 17th floor.

My secretary says the fungshui is ideal for romance.

(10 weeks ago)

Good morning, Rose!

You ordered red flowers again?

You know how much I hate them.

Why the long face?

The rent!

It's time to pay the rent.

I owe 3 months, I'll pay it off once I get a new case.

As for you...

Don't worry, you'll still get paid.

You should accept the case from the man next door.

I'm not desperate enough to defend a wife-beater.

Macy speaking.

Yes. Okay. Soon. Bye.

It's good to starve once in a while.

Beggars can't be choosers. Let's see how long you last.

I can deal with starvation...

but not a secretary with a long face.

It's too much

Smile like you mean it.

I witnessed my father beat my mother.

My father had a bad temper.

He resorted to violence to solve problems.

We were so used to it that we didn't think of it as abuse.

We thought it was normal for a man to beat his wife.

It's a classic case of domestic violence.

Are you trying to say...

that you inherited his sickness?

Why don't you just blame it on society?

My wife is like my mother.

She's obsessed with buying designer goods...

hounding me day and night...

...to buy her things.

I still have to work in the morning.

So I hit her to shut her up.

I felt guilty afterwards,

I bought her what she wanted the next day.

She figured it out after that.

Whenever she wants something,

she deliberately provokes me.

You might even say that she asks for it.

But those damn social-workers convinced her to sue me.

It would have been fine if they hadn't interfered.

They create problems just to keep themselves busy!

Yes...

Yeah...

Next turn your body slowly to the right.

Hold the position.

When you feel that your mind and body are ready...

lift yourself up using your left arm...

then sit upright.

Assume the lotus position, straighten your back.

Place your hands on your chest.

Then close your eyes and inhale... exhale slowly.

Thank you! Namaste!

Okay. Bye.

Hey? What's up?

Done?

Yes.

Stop drooling. Her boyfriend is a pilot.

That's amazing!

I'll seduce him first then her.

You! Always fooling around.

You're ruining the image of bi-girls.

Hey!

There's plenty of room...

for bi-girls in this world.

Do you want to talk?

Are you broke?

If it's the rent, I'll lend you the money.

Then you won't have to defend a wife-beater.

Maybe he's not the only guilty party.

Eleanor, you need to go deeper, look at all the angles.

Fine. Let's go to...

...a woman's shelter tonight and

see the victims of domestic violence first-hand.

Not tonight, I have a date with Outward Bound to sign a life and death contract.

Come with me?

The training prepares you for any crisis.

Feminism is not about defeating men...

but to counter patriarchal sexist attitudes.

Men are just as enslaved by this mentality...

that defines men as strong, fearless, and stoic...

Isn't it a perversion of human nature?

Try telling it to those female social-workers...

The pain that men suffer under this system...

is no less than that suffered by women.

Men and women need to communicate on an equal basis.

Violence is the biggest obstacle.

I'm your lawyer.

I'm not here to lecture you.

I'm only here to defend you.

Can you provide more details, evidence to proves that...

your wife gets sexual fulfilment through violence?

My wife is old-fashioned, she knows nothing about SM.

Does your wife crave sex after you beat her?

No.

Don't tell me...

your wife never had an orgasm?

The truth is...

My wife is frigid.

That's tragic.

Go home and give her a few orgasms.

I promise she won't sue you after that.

You think that I'm impotent?

I can still do it.

If my wife was willing, I could make love every night.

It's about quality not quantity.

What do you mean?

It's not just physical...

but an emotional and spiritual connection.

It sounds too complicated.

Did you kiss your wife? I mean a French kiss.

Did you sweet talk before having sex?

Did you engage in foreplay?

Slowly caressing and fondling her...

or kissing her all over her body?

All over? No way!

I'm dead tired after work.

I don't have time for that.

In fact, I don't like to French kiss.

You should learn.

You're missing out on one of life's great pleasures.

And kissing her all over?

Yes!

You sound like a sex therapist...

Do you have an orgasm every day?

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

Teaching a man to give his wife orgasms...

is like promoting world peace.

And for my own orgasms...

It's easy to calculate.

I have at least 9 orgasms a week.

A conservative estimate...

there're 52 weeks in a year, multiplied by 20...

Totals 9360 orgasms!

I'm sure I can keep this up until I'm 74!

Hello!

My wife isn't going to sue, they dropped the case.

I'll gladly pay the legal fees.

Just send me the bill.

But make sure that it's marriage counselling fee...

not a legal fee.

My wife...

My wife has...

2 to 3 orgasms each night.

I know it's cold. You need to warm up first.

Move your hips, okay... Stretch if you need to.

If you need coffee, get a coffee.

You need to warm up too. Let's warm up together.

We're all going into the water next.

Or "you guys" are going into the water.

So what I need is for you all to take a deep breath!

Breathe in!

And let it out!

Smile for me, okay?

Okay. Let's make our way.

Don't be scared!

Lucca, congratulate me.

What for?

Did you win the case for that bastard?

Don't call him that. Don't be like Eleanor.

The lawsuit has been dropped

and I helped reduce domestic violence.

What? You did volunteer work?

There are other ways to promote world peace besides volunteer work.

Sometimes it can be achieved indirectly.

Barrister! What a coincidence!

Hi!

Don't you have to keep your wife company?

Do you want more lessons?

Don't pretend we met by chance.

My wife went to Zhongshan, I'm starving.

Let me to treat you dinner, okay?

Huh?

Come on!

Alright.

How did you end up with a kept man?

He's talented.

A brilliant director.

I didn't want to see him waste his talent on ads.

But I dumped him eventually.

Not because I was afraid of what people would say.

I just got tired of him.

You seem to have a lot of experience.

Tell me more on this subject.

I always fail at the 4th stage.

What's that?

Stage 1 is love at the first sight.

It's purely about chemistry.

That's easy.

Stage 2 will last 1 to 2 years.

Based on what? Hormones.

Stage 3 will last about 2 years, it's based on tolerance.

That's the major stumbling block for me.

What about stage 4? Resentment!

What's that?

Honey, since you hate me so much...

let's get married.

Let's see who survives!

You sound so jaded, do you get dumped often?

Don't remind me.

I've been lonely lately.

I suppose I'd have to wank tonight.

Since my last breakup, I haven't slept with anyone.

What kind of man are you attracted to?

I don't have a type. I can fall for anyone.

But there are lots that I have no chemistry with.

Especially those don't like to kiss.

I can kiss all over, no problem.

Kissing is a difficult art to master.

It takes a long time to learn the techniques.

There are techniques?

Teach me!

What a coincidence!

Are you following me?

You're constantly bumping into me.

I'm warning you, don't fall in love with me!

I just need to know how you would rate me in bed?

It's a matter of feeling, not ratings.

Your student really wants to know.

The student was happy that night...

and so was the master, okay?

Did you have five orgasms?

Five?

I only had three.

It's five.

I could feel it.

Just beat it, I'm busy picking up guys.

Picking up guys?

Who?

That one?

He's okay, he's a pilot.

Get more practice.

Honey, how many do you want?

I promise...

When you come back, I will give you five.

You're so naughty. I must go.

Bye, honey.

Bye.

Master, you finally came to see me?

Come, let me.

What's up?

Has the master fallen for her student?

I really don't mind.

I'm pregnant, just from that one night.

I'm not asking you to take responsibility.

It's my first pregnancy.

I was just overwhelmed suddenly.

Let me think...

Think...

That dog only knows how to bark.

Really?

The lift is not working, take the stairs.

But I live on 27th floor.

Hold on...

Up there!

Have a seat.

Exhausted?

I'll give you a massage.

Let me see... I'm having cramps.

Is this better?

Okay?

Give me the other foot.

Let me show you something.

You kept the shoes?

Let me...

Good morning.

I'm still sleepy.

Eleanor loves kids. If it wasn't for her...

I would have saved myself the trouble and had an abortion.

You're having a baby for her?

Shouldn't you be doing it for yourself?

We can raise our kids together...

Hello!

Daisy?

You made soup?

You made it yourself?

Alright, I'll come by after work.

Bye. See you.

I'm going home to change.

If they see me wearing the same clothes

they'll start singing "Hanging out at Midnight"...

or "One Night Stand".

This one then, it's beautiful.

Just wear this one.

It's really pretty.

You're early...

Or you didn't go home last night?

It's none of your business!

Stop harassing me or I'll call the police.

No... I know you're afraid that I have AIDS.

So I spent $1000 to prove my innocence.

What about the health of your family?

My dad is a swimming instructor.

My mom practices Tai Chi.

And my sister is the captain of a basketball team.

The genes on your side sound okay.

I have to change and get to work.

I'll wait for you.

You wanted to adopt but the process was complicated.

I wanted to bear a child for you,

only I never thought that I'd really get pregnant.

Where are the toothpicks?

We're not rejecting the child because it's fatherless.

But because the child's father...

...is a violent man.

You expect me to accept that?

I've always treated you like family,

how can you hate my baby!

You've switched from gay to straight to bi.

And I accepted it all.

But I have my limits.

I can't accept the child of a wife-beater!

I was hoping that you would find someone, so that we could stop worrying.

Instead you got pregnant and try to force your child on us.

One child, three mothers...

Doesn't it seem like too much?

It's not good.

Do I have breast cancer?

We don't know yet, miss.

Come on.

Here, relax.

Please turn your head to your left.

Relax, okay.

Please place your breast on the board.

Can you be gentle, miss?

You haven't got much of a breast, if I don't squeeze hard...

it won't work.

It hurts!

Breathe slowly. I'll lower the board now.

Won't my hands get stuck?

Okay, ready.

It hurts!

Wai.

Please tell Eleanor not to be so dogmatic.

A man who beats his wife...

...can be rehabilitated.

Eleanor is stubborn.

But she'll treat your child like it's her own.

You two used to be so close...

If you're bearing the child, she's raising it, what's my role?

Wai.

I promise...

I won't let the child come between you.

Actually, I found my other half.

That was quick.

Straight? Gay?

Or are you doing it just for show?

We met awhile back. These last few days have been like a dream.

I kept it secret...

...because I didn't want you to overreact

and make a big deal out of it.

No, no...

We won't do anything.

Just bring her home for a casual dinner.

No need to rush.

I just want to know whether you want my child?

If you don't, I'll have an...

abortion.

It'll be too late if you change your mind.

We can talk it over later.

So, a he or a she?

When can you come for dinner? You want abalone?

That's the most expensive apartment in HK.

Wouldn't it be ideal? Everything you want is close by.

Put it here.

What are we having?

That's huge! Yes.

Can we finish it all?

Nice!

It's a big dish. I love this.

The wine is expensive.

You wanted Greek food, so I ordered Greek wine.

Greek wine goes with Greek food.

It's $700 a bottle,

not expensive considering that I had to climb to the 8th floor.

Don't exaggerate, it's only the 7th floor!

Let's sit and eat Okay.

Sit closer.

Do you want some lemon?

Macy used to talk about you quite often.

I was so jealous of you.

I never thought we could...

Don't worry, I have Wai now. I'm not jealous of you.

We forgot to open...

the Greek wine.

Get the glasses.

Smell it.

Here...

A big one for Wai.

A small one for you.

And a big one for you.

Macy, Anita...

Eleanor and I are so happy...

...that you two are happy.

Let's toast to the two families!

Cheers!

Two families?

Wai and I, then Anita and you.

The four of us will raise our two children together.

Anita and you, one family. Eleanor and I, another.

No need to complicate things.

Do you have a better idea?

Let me make this clear, I'm agreeing to this arrangement...

because you and Anita are starting your own family.

I refuse to pick up after a wife-beater.

Not again.

How are you feeling?

If you're free after work, come over for soup.

Soup is good for your baby.

I don't like soup.

Besides, I haven't decided yet.

I might not have the baby.

Alright, bye.

You mean there were others?

Are you jealous?

Or in denial?

Both are a waste of time.

Sorry.

You're my only student. It's the honest truth!

What would you like?

It's a sea crab.

Okay?

How nice! I'm shopping for the chef.

I'm not following you.

Go find some young girl.

No.

My sister is awesome, she has two ex-husbands.

But I'm too emotional.

Emotions are my downfall.

I don't even have an ex-husband.

My family looks down on me.

We haven't sat down together for a meal in years.

Many people don't get along with their families.

I'm one example.

It's okay as long as you have friends.

I spent so much time having affairs.

I have hardly any friends left.

I'm your friend.

We're a generation apart!

Macy is so lucky

Her friends treat her like family.

You keep mentioning Macy, who is she?

Macy is brilliant.

She leaves me lost and confused.

But she gives meaning to my life.

She sounds like a cult leader.

You've got the right idea!

I had an epiphany last year.

Love is an evil cult.

Macy is a girl's name.

Did I ever say Macy was male?

This one looks good.

Come on! I'm starving.

Hey! Excuse me...

Anita, I remember you said you loved tuna fish sandwiches.

Please sample our sandwiches.

You changed jobs?

How else could I prepare...

...your favourite sandwich?

How long have you known him?

He changed jobs for no reason

and treats us to sandwiches.

Something is going on.

You're having an affair with a younger man!

More like mother-and-son!

Well done, girl.

Hey.

What now?

Be honest...

Teach me some tips on how to attract a young lover.

Give me a break.

I'm willing to learn from you.

Anita is gorgeous.

It's easy for her.

That's true.

What's this? Heart-shaped sandwiches?

Tuna again?

Don't...

Tonight, I have...

two tickets...

for a Jazz concert.

Only two? What about us?

I'm not free tonight.

You're not free? I am.

I can go, give them to me.

Go with her! She likes younger men!

Go to hell!

Really, she likes younger men...

Did you lose your bra-stuffing?

You seem to have too much Botox. Your skin looks so tight.

I got another injection last week. It finally had an effect.

If you want to attract younger men...

you have to pay for it.

Robbing the cradle can only lead to trouble.

I've seen cases where the woman is old enough to be the mother.

I have some gossip.

What?

One of them got pregnant!

She did it on purpose...

to keep the guy!

Oh, the poor baby is being used!

Hm.

The boss locked you in the conference room?

For the entire day?

How could he do that...

I'll talk to him!

I'm with a client, I'll call you back.

Okay.

Alright, kiss kiss...

Now on the lips.

Be good, we'll talk tonight.

I'll get you French fries.

Okay. Bye!

I thought you had feelings for me.

I felt so guilty...

...that I couldn't sleep at night.

You just used me for my sperm?

If that were true why wouldn't I just go to a sperm bank?

It's only USD1,000 for the sperm of a Harvard student.

If you needed freebies...

couldn't you go farther from home?

I'm your neighbour!

Why would I bother to cheat?

The sperm bank is protected by law.

It's even scarier if I'm not being used.

How can it be an accident when you're so experienced?

Are you trying to entrap me?

If I wanted to entrap you...

I wouldn't go to all the trouble.

In 3 weeks...

I've been to the FPA 5 times.

Twice for prenatal check-ups...

twice for abortion information...

and once for counselling.

Well...

It's a mess...

I want to commit to you.

But I can't promise you anything.

Commitment is a big word.

No need to get so serious.

Every woman wants a commitment.

Not me. I swear.

Not even when my biological clock is ticking.

You should watch what you eat.

That's fatty.

It's so cute.

Do babies like these?

Taste it for yourself.

I'm going over there.

I'm not stalking you.

I'm just getting groceries.

Macy is still not ready to buy baby food.

What baby?

You must be Mike. I'm Macy.

I know. You're the cult leader.

Mike knows all about you.

What did you tell him?

That's a secret between...

him and me.

How about coffee?

Sure.

Maybe later.

He's still a kid, he doesn't know I'm pregnant.

Watch what you say.

He's over18, he's an adult.

He has the right to know.

Mike, I don't mind if you become her lover.

But we have certain standards.

I'm not looking down on you

but you're just too young.

It's no fun being the other man.

Let's just be friends, okay?

Macy knows a lot of people.

Let her find you a young girlfriend.

Alright?

I don't understand. Old men can date younger girls.

Why can't I date you?

It's patriarchal society's double standard.

What's that?

Eleanor. You have another convert.

The kid wants to know...

...how patriarchal society corrupts us.

Eleanor is obsessed with the ills of patriarchal society.

Who's Eleanor?

Come over. We're in Soho, bye.

Eleanor was Macy's ex...

I know!

Eleanor is a lesbian.

Lesbians like that name.

I'm not completely naive.

Are you sure?

Did you know that Anita is pregnant?

You're the father.

Man up, there's no need to react like that.

Whether Anita has the baby or not,

you're still our friend.

Don't panic.

Whatever happens, I'll back you up!

Don't chase after them!

Stop.

Anita and I...

Anita and I...

What?

We have a complicated history.

Wait!

Those two look so sweet together.

You'll just make a fool of yourself.

They don't care about you.

Listen to me... I'll buy you a drink!

What drink?

Sex on the beach!

Let's go.

Really?

Come on!

Today my boss gave me knitting wool...

and told me to go knit in the conference room.

I don't know how long I can last.

I'll quit if I can't take it anymore.

It's discrimination against unwed mothers.

Let's call Eleanor...

Don't. I can take care of my own affairs.

What do you mean?

You didn't break any laws.

You just got pregnant before marrying.

Do you think I can sue the bank...

for discriminating against pregnant staff?

You can always sue, but it takes time.

Call Eleanor...

She's an extremist, she'll screw up things.

She's been educating Mike on gender politics these days.

Now whenever Mike sees me,

he lectures me.

I'm too scared to go home so I came here for refuge.

Eleanor is really something!

She converted the kid!

Now you have an excuse to come harass me every night.

Harass?

You begged me to come!

Mike.

Hello!

I'm not here to cause trouble.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

I just want to say...

Just want to say...

Think about what you really want to say.

Let's get back to bathing.

You sent Eleanor to watch me and I got her drunk.

I even took her home.

Are you done?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Wait...

You don't need to avoid Mike, he's cute.

I don't mind. He can be your second lover...

even third...

You want me to do this?

Maybe it's you who wants extra lovers!

Can't you take our relationship more seriously?

I...

I've been avoiding my problems.

I can't make a decision.

But I thought it through.

Whether you have the baby or not...

I'll support you as the father of the child.

I know your life is complicated.

You may have done something bad.

Just don't give up on yourself.

I'll be right here with you.

Robert, let's get things straight.

My decision to have a baby involves her alone.

It has nothing to do with you.

Anita, I'm proposing to you.

Let's have babies and raise a family together.

I'm a man. I have feelings.

Don't humiliate me by proposing to her in front of me.

Hey, kid.

Are you waiting for Macy?

What is she to you?

Whose concubine are you?

Anita's, but I can't cook.

That's good, I'm Macy's.

I'm a man, I take responsibility.

And I have feelings...

Two beggars out in the cold.

That's us, huh?

I told him, "Don't waste my time!"

Don't say you're looking for romance in your profile...

when all you're looking for is money!

Do you know what he said to me?

"Money is better than romance!"

He was a complete waste of time.

She joined a website called...

...MySugarDaddy.Com.

She's fifty years old, she's a fifty year old woman...

and she is looking for a sugar daddy.

What crazier is that she found a sugar daddy.

You know? It's amazing!

With internet dating, you can find anything.

Fifty years old, I can't believe it.

It's stuffy in here.

I'm going out for some air. I'll be right back.

Robert, the tarot shows a big house...

waiting for the two beggars to enter.

We just got kicked out.

Let's look at two more cards.

The Hanged Man.

The World.

It's a happy ending.

Happy... happy ending?

Happy ending!

Yes!

Happy ending? Really?

Yes!

Be careful!

I saw Anita.

She said she's going to lose her job.

She's afraid she can't afford to raise her child.

She wants to give up.

Anita is not the only mother of the child.

She doesn't have to do this.

Anita has fallen in love so many times.

She gets hurt each time.

She must be fed up.

I think...

It's Macy who doesn't want the baby.

Why not?

Anita said she's confused.

The man who got her pregnant won't leave her alone.

Oh yes! We should do a background check on him.

I didn't knock her up on purpose.

My office is right next door.

Do you think I'm going to escape? How much do you want?

Let's be clear.

You're just a sperm donor.

You have no rights over this child.

You don't get rights for donating sperm.

I didn't even know I was a donor!

You women call all the shots.

Would I dare lay any claims?

Since you won't let the matter drop...

How much do you want?

Are you trying to get me to leave?

Yes.

What gives you the right?

Well, I'm her ex-lover.

Ex?

Since you're only the ex...

It's none of your business whether I leave or not.

You can't tell me...

...you provided the sperm.

It's my business when I say so.

Listen carefully,

Wai and I treat Macy like a sister.

Macy's baby...

...is our baby too.

Don't push Macy to get an abortion.

You...

Wait... I'm confused.

Wai and you? There's another woman?

Who is Wai then?

Wai is my life-partner.

Wai also treats Macy like her own sister.

So we're responsible for adopting Macy's child.

Now Macy loves Anita.

Wai and I treat Anita like a sister too.

So Anita's child...

...is our child too.

Wait, I'm more confused.

Let me get this straight.

Four women, two families.

Two kids and four mothers?

What's so confusing? Two kids and four mothers.

If you insist on Macy getting an abortion...

you'll ruin two families.

It's so complicated, no wonder Macy couldn't explain.

I stand by what I said.

I just want to know if we can negotiate.

Negotiate?

You give birth to your child...

and I get an abortion.

We would still be a family but with only one child.

Sandwiches please!

What sandwich?

Whatever.

And a bottle of water.

Why so surprised?

Your student is nice.

Yes, we get along.

Let's get together to play tennis some time.

What is it?

I won't fight with four mothers.

But I can't abandon the baby.

This necklace is a token of my sincerity.

Thanks.

Anita.

Your child is Macy's child.

I accept your child too.

This necklace...

It's a gift from Mike and me.

When Mike can earn more, there'll be bigger gifts.

There are two pregnant women here.

Whether there'll be two babies... it's hard to tell.

What do you mean?

We're filing a lawsuit against Anita's bank

for forcing their pregnant staff to resign.

That's absurd! Hong Kong is a progressive place!

Why didn't you tell me this before?

You don't have to worry about raising the child.

You're not the only mother.

She hasn't decided whether to have the baby yet.

Everyone's here, let's go dancing!

Come on, don't argue, let's go!

On behalf of HK Feminist Coalition...

we're serving notice of...

...Miss Anita Chan's lawsuit for...

discrimination against unwed pregnant women.

We're here to give you a letter.

Our coalition has over 200 members.

This letter contains all their signatures.

We request you stop harassing Ms Anita Chan...

and cease your phony investigation.

I've been waiting two days for a reply.

We're an international bank and we have an anti-discrimination policy.

You have a rest here.

We've already started investigating the discrimination claim.

Okay?

Sit.

The baby must be hungry.

I brought you something to eat.

Have some, don't let the baby go hungry.

Eat.

I have nowhere to go.

I either stay imprisoned here.

Or resign and get an abortion.

They're two separate matters.

Even if you resign, you don't need to get an abortion.

Macy told me to keep the baby while she gets an abortion.

This morning she said she'd do whatever I do.

Macy is passing you the responsibility.

If she flip flops, you'll be left crying.

The baby is yours.

Why is it her decision?

I can't live without her.

If she doesn't have a baby, she'll leave me eventually.

No matter what the future holds for the two of you...

I'll always be your friend.

I'll always be the father of your child.

I will never leave the two of you.

A night train races through the field

A widow kisses her lonely shield

Through the dark glass she sees heaven

through the dark glass she feels pain

I see your ego on the hill

but mountains are out to kill

out there is raining

out there clouds are bleeding

Excuse me, I'd like to say a few words.

Everybody, sorry to take your time.

We're members of HK Women Welfare Association.

I'm here to invite you all...

to join our protest on the 25th...

this Saturday at 2:00 pm.

The place and time...

...are printed on the leaflets.

Thank you!

Please support us.

Thanks for your support!

Support unwed mothers! Please take a look!

Let's eat.

I've packed lunch.

Our society discriminates...

...against unwed mothers.

They don't have a forum to protest

and voice their grievances.

We're holding this sit-in...

to spread awareness...

...and to offer support.

We hope that unwed mothers will be inspired to...

"SAY NO TO DISCRIMINATION!"...

...and refuse to be bullied!

What kind of support are you expecting to get?

Be patient, and keep knitting.

Results of negotiations will be out soon.

I told you not to cause trouble.

The personnel department issued a warning...

accusing me of knitting during office hours.

They won't approve my maternity leave.

If I don't return to the conference room...

I'll be fired without compensation.

I'm desperate!

If I delay the abortion, it'll be too late.

Are you with me?

My situation is impossible.

How can you just sit there and enjoy yourself?

Pack up! This protest is over!

Anita is really upset.

The bank will fire her...

if she doesn't return to the conference room.

Try sitting there alone.

Everyone stares at you like you're a zoo animal.

She's so frustrated that she wants an abortion.

You're the one who wanted a sit-in.

We did it for you.

I won't allow her to be bullied.

I didn't know you'd create such a spectacle!

Are you blaming us?

You're always offering to help others.

What about those closest to you?

You say you don't want Anita to be bullied.

But what does Anita want? For you to fight her battles for her?

She just needs a commitment!

You know it's true but won't do anything about it.

Ask yourself...

Is Anita's dilemma...

...the result of our protest...

or your own indecision?

On top of that, Robert and Mike may be strangers...

But even they're willing to commit.

Yes, we are!

I don't think we're strangers. That's right.

I'm not digging up the past.

I just want you to wake up.

You dumped me years ago but I've forgiven you.

I have Wai and I'm fine.

But you owe it to Anita to resolve this.

I'm busy.

I'm going rock climbing.

How can you go climbing in your condition?

If I have an accident, it's fate!

You can't be a parent and a lover...

you just can't be both at the same time!

Please call an ambulance.

Mister, please call for an ambulance.

Please, my baby... I'm pregnant!

Call for an ambulance!

Please!

This pregnant woman just fell and broke her toe.

She needs an ultrasound now.

Okay.

Slowly...

Thanks.

I promise...

I won't ever run up and down again.

Baby, be strong, don't have a miscarriage...

Doctor?

The baby is fine.

Are you alright? What did you do?

The baby is fine!

It's okay.

See that?

That white spot.

Take it away. This soup is tasteless.

Robert! Robert! Hand me the roast goose!

You can't eat that! No!

It's bad for the baby.

Be good.

Wai, Eleanor, Mike, Robert...

You're all witnesses.

I'm committing to Anita...

and promise that we'll stick together through thick and thin.

You also need to promise to be...

devoted and patient...

the things that hold love together.

Right!

You need them for stage 3.

Macy can do it.

As for stage 4...

It's up to Anita to keep up the fight.

Get lost! Good student!

You have a remarkable memory.

Now hand over the roast goose.

No! You can't eat that.

Rose is here.

Good news! The bank gave in!

Anita has been awarded a huge settlement!

Yay!

I don't want the money.

What?

I want the bank to apologize.

So that I can return to work with honour.

Wouldn't it be good to have money for the baby?

I know.

A word with you in private.

You were against the protest.

They're offering a settlement, why not take it?

You told me to fight for my dignity.

I've won, why are you so concerned about the money?

I went broke mounting the protest.

If I take the money and stop working,

won't I turn into a fat housewife?

Then you'll have an excuse to dump me!

Look at my toes, they're broken.

I won't be able to work for a while.

It's hard to be dignified when poor.

How can I afford to dump my wife?

We'll be poor together.

We'll do whatever you decide.

I have a good wife!

Mike, I have to stay with my wife tonight.

I can't set up the computer for Anita and Macy.

Please deliver these bags to them.

Hurry!

You mean me?

School has already started.

I have tons of assignments.

I'm depending on you to take care of them.

Hell, no!

This sucks!

Wear this later. It's so sexy.

You expect me to try it on now?

Let's go next door to buy something for Mike.

Okay.

Get something for Robert too.

Don't bother, Robert has a wife.

This one is really nice.

What's the matter?

Come, sit down...

Do you feel pain?

Does it hurt?

Where's my phone?

How are you doing? Deep breaths!

Don't be afraid...

Yes, Mike?

Tomorrow?

I have a meeting tomorrow.

Baby, get some sleep.

Be good.

Come on, it's your turn.

Don't cry...

Don't cry...

I only have two hands. Give me a hand!

It's Mike's turn to baby sit.

Baby...

Wai, look.

His mouth...

He's not drinking?

He's drinking.

Let's pull it out and see if he cries.

He's crying.

Is this how you feed a baby?

She's a good dancer.

The man knows how to lead.

Argentina! I really want to go there again!

Will you take Anita with you?

Do you want go alone?

I don't mind.

But you still have four others to deal with.

My aunt is over there...

My aunt is here.

You can't let her know that we're together.

You haven't come out yet?

I thought you were a militant...

You're not out of the closet!

I thought you came out when you were 18?

Just don't upset my aunt.

Her son had gender re-assignment surgery

and she took up four religions since.

Okay, we're all going to pretend...

...that we're just friends.

I'll tell the others.

Okay! Okay!

Pretend we're just friends!

Macy's aunt is here, stop flirting!

Auntie!

Macy! What a surprise!

Didn't you go to a retreat on Lantau Island?

I've changed.

Auntie, I run a yoga center, please drop by.

Really?

It's great.

Hello!

Eleanor!

Let me introduce, Macy.

Hi!

My niece.

Your niece?

I'm Eleanor too.

How nice?

Eleanor, Eleanor...

We'll leave you two alone.

Let's go for drinks some time. Okay.

Bye, Auntie, bye!

Eleanor, you're late.

Sorry, sorry!
