Original subtitles

Hey, I'm talking to you

Give me 600 dollars

You wish!

That's all we've left

And you still go to gamble

Shut up

I earn the money

Even that you can't take it for gamble

Shut up

What're you doing?

Bastard, I'm gonna beat you

You gambling pig, I'll beat the shit out of you

You bitch

I'll beat you

You dare to hit me with something!

I'll kill you

All you know is gambling

I'll beat you

What're you doing?

Let go of me

Stop

You'll kill Mom

Mom, are you all right?

Don't touch my money

Dad, where're you going?

Go away

Dad, don't go

Get lost

Dad, come back

You take Marble with you

The way she's now

Do you want to give me trouble?

I'm in more trouble than you

I am a woman

I'm a sailor

You take care of Marble

Just gamble a bit less is enough to raise the kid

No way

Raising her would be like raising others' wife

No advantage

A lost business

Let your mother take care of her

Marry her when she grows up

And you tell her to be smart

Don't marry a gambler

Hey, you want a quarrel?

No, never

This is the last time

You're SO right

Don't rush...

Everyone will have a share

Why so crowded?

What're they doing?

Worshipping ancestors

With all those many things?

Hey, Granny, Come on

Come and take a bite

The dishes are good this year

Right

Marble, have some

I'll go get my share of pork

This is a leg-washing basin

Hey, how can you say that?

Let's go get a share of pork

Your share? You wish!

That's only for boys

Yeah, I have a wee-wee. Have you?

Aunty Chiang Lin, one more baby this year?

Yes

You are the best in your family

Hey, you think it's my will

I was compelled by my stupid husband

Come on. Let's worship first

Eat some roast pork

We have a lot of it

Honey, do we have our share if we got a baby?

Yes. Only with Chinese blood

What do you mean?

It means I give you a green hat

Oh, that goes with my clothes then

Eat, no more talk!

So rude. Take it home

Get up, go

We're going back home

Be quick

Honey

Hey, make a stance

Hold it...

Master, every time we've to stand in a pose

If you could teach us something else please

Okay

Shaolin Masters learn poses for years

Hold it...

Okay. I'll teach you something new

Watch me

See. Get to it

Seeing Shanghai Beach in Mainland

Here I'm still watching it everyday

I'm so tired

Tired?

Let's go to bed for rest

I hate Chau Yun Fa the most

He didn't marry when I'm in China

As soon as I'm here, he got married

You can't come to Hong Kong if you don't marry me

You said you are big boss

Having a big business

Now that I'm in Hong Kong

...I'm still a country woman

What country woman?

I feel sorry for myself

Then I ought to feel much more sorry

You can't even lay an egg

This year I can only get one share of pork

And you're blaming me for it?

Damn monkey...

What's going on?

A letter for you

Oh, it's you

Your monkey glared at me fiercely

Will you open it for me?

Read it to me. I am quite illiterate

Stop it. Don't bother him

Let me help you. Give me the letter

Postman's duty is to deliver and read letters

He reads for Aunt Jiao

How can you compare to her?

Aunty Jiao is 83 years old

Hello, dubbing room

Martin?

Martin is working

Are you lying to me?

Why should I lie?

I know he's free. Get him

You listen yourself then

Hello, what's the noise?

Is someone being raped?

Martin, your telephone

Hello

What took you so long?

Recording is going on

Don't mess around

Yes, I know. I won't

Honey, I couldn't help myself...

and spent $12.70

Why did you spend so much?

I was late for work...

so I took a taxi

On your way back don't forget to buy vegetables

Okay

And buy a pair of slippers for me

Got it, honey

I'll hang up. Bye

Wouldn't marry if you know your wife is so bad!

Take pity for the rest of my life

Hey, what's on your neck?

Nothing

You look piteous

She's the piteous one

The vampire is here

Grandma, grandma

Someone is fighting

Grandma, grandma

Come over quickly

What happened?

Someone is fighting

Fighting?

Yes

Where?

Over there! You see it?

I spare you this time. No next time

Sorry, let me kiss you

Cut the bullshit. Go to bed

I need to work tomorrow

Where at?

That villa over there!

Wow, it looks beautiful

Who lives there?

Snow White

Kidding, there's no Snow White

Oh, murder

That's the pig scream

Why's the pig screaming so late at night?

Shorty's father...

always kills the pig this late

Why so late?

So the government won't know

But how could a pig's scream be so terrible?

Why?

Why aren't you tired?

Why aren't you sleepy?

Why haven't you gone to bed?

Why are you so nosy?

Go to sleep!

Here's the kitchen

Oil. Salt. Sauce. Vinegar. All there

Go tidy up

Ask me if you have any question

Come dance with me

Come on

Come

Dance

I'll teach you. Don't be afraid

Damn dog!

Damn it!

What's such a big deal to be rich?

Pay for my pants

Sorry. I don't mean to be rude

Be careful next time

Miss, it seems I've seen you somewhere

Of course you have

I'll be the Miss Hong Kong in next contest

I have nine posters at the Ferry pier

And I've been handing out my photographs all around

Never seen one as rude as you

Chang Jin

This girl is great. She lives in your village?

Of course she's from our village

The beauties only live in my village

And the ugly ones only live in your village

Miss, I want my BALL back

We're back from Holland

Shall we make a friendship?

My dad said she got married

Married? No way

Look at her curves!

She sure knows how to keep fit

Maybe she never takes birth-control pills

Hey, pals

Be nice to a girl, huh?

What do you mean?

You think you're a kungfu master?

Get the ball back

Okay

We're friends. If you don't give me face

At least for my Dad's sake...

let's not make a fuss of this

Are you alright?

He hits me. Beat him

Stop

Just playing. Stop

What're you on about?

I've stopped. Why don't you stop?

I'll let you go, damn kid

Don't let me see you again

I'll kill you next time

Let's go, go

Waste of strength!

Post-boy. You think you're good

We're taking pity on you

Yeah

Go, go

Your parcel is rejected from your hometown

Wait a minute!

Sorry to bother you again

Please sign

Where's Wang?

He went to Kowloon on business

Oh, you're bleeding?

Who hurt you?

Let me help you

Suppressing anger is not a good thing

What? Let me clean your wound

No

Okay, I won't touch you

I'll give you some water, do it yourself

How often do you deliver each day?

What are you drawing so late at night?

Go to bed. You have class tomorrow

Go to sleep now

Dad, I'm going to school now

Go now. Don't be late

Okay, I know

A shepherd drove sheep on the hill

Watching farmers farming below...

Jin Bao

I have twenty of them

Give me one

No way

My uncle smuggled it from Mainland

What is it?

How about I exchange one with a secret

What secret?

Last night the White Man tortured his wife

I don't believe you

He's so coward to his wife he'll never beat her

Then will you give me?

What kind of a secret it is?

Okay, forget it

The shepherd laughed...

Master

Good morning, teacher

I've taught you...

to write yourselves a letter

And learn to write your home address

That'd help uncle Postman to deliver

No, Mister Postman

Oh yes, calling 'uncle' is too old

Yes

Now come out to get your letter when I call you

Wang Jia Leung

Here

Wang Shi Chung

Here

Shu Ker Ying

Here

She's a cripple!

Don't laugh at her

Wang Jia Hao

Here

Wang Jie Hwa

Wang Wan Wen

Wang Tian Sheng

Marble

Mister

You have a letter from your dad

Your Grandma said he's in Panama

What has he written?

Just ask your Grandma

No

My Dad is dead

Don't curse him

I don't like him

Go away

Go away

Let me go

Let me go...

Damn dog

Go away

Let go of me

The damn dog bites anything it sees

I always get bitten when delivering letters

Don't tell people about it

I won't. I'll do as you said

You'll be responsible if anyone knows

I never lie to a child

I'll keep your secret

Let's hook our pinkies

I'll be true to my word

Wait for me?

When I'm young no-one likes me

I hope someone would love me like crazy

If not, I hope I have lots of money

If no money, I wish I can be famous

Let everyone know me at least

If I have nothing else

I hope I'm prettier than others

Staying pretty longer is okay

Being a woman is indeed tragic!

But you have everything now

How poor of you, silly girl?

You never stay with me overnight

You'd better find an excuse to convince me

My wife doesn't understand me

Take any man in the world

Not one would say his wife understands him

I really love you

Not for your money

Don't think you're Santa Claus

Why would I do this? So cheap!

Go to bed early

Don't abuse drugs

Wang, give me a red cloth

Okay

Lin, give him a red cloth

Big one or small one?

Big one, of course

Did you make this?

Of course I made this cloth

You think old Wang can do that?

You are good

Your hand is so white, I believe you'd have made it

Lin, go to work if you've nothing else

Okay, five dollars

Bin, why did you have to come yourself to buy?

What else do you need?

Nothing else. I'll come later

See you

I know all the neighbours around here

Hey, get the button fastened

I can't breath if I fasten up

Or you buy me a new dress

Okay, okay

Let me take you to the discount stall

Discount stalls only sell cheap stuff

I want to visit the fashion shop

Look at you

Just two months here & you've learned it

I learned all about it long before I came

Then you be good

I'll buy you anything you want

Okay?

Then ain't I good enough now?

Good, you're good

Sir, I would like to know...

if there's a new villa here?

You've real talent

Among the mistresses of my husband

You own the most beautiful house

Thanks

You can have anything you want?

Sure

He's my Santa Claus

You think you're young?

Whatever. I'm younger than you

I heard you're a dancer

What kind of dance are you good at?

The kind that takes hard work...

and looks like mad jumping

You have money now

Why work so hard?

Is money everything?

No?

Depends on the person

Don't say you love my man

No, we use each other

What are you laughing at?

One night your husband told me...

his wife doesn't understand him

He lies, you fool

It's not bad he lies to me in that way

My husband is sure in bad luck

He has a mistress like you

He is in luck actually

Because he met me

You're just a whore

What are you here for?

You're great

Let me show you something

No. Okay, you can go now

You don't like me a bit?

Like you what?

What good are you?

Oh, I dare not

Don't be afraid. There's a rug here

Give her a hand

Get up, get up

Be serious. Come

One more time

I can't

Use the hip. Come. Ready

Go

See, you can do it

Got weak hips. I can't get up

Forget it

You are a porn star. No need to get up

You bald head

You should be an extra forever

Oh, I am now

Yao Ju, come

Coming

You play with him

Hold it

Get me a suit from the wardrobe

What's that for?

Meet your girlfriend

That one

You want it however she looks

You take all whatever the age

My girl is beautiful

And who is that?

Nanny!

Yao Ju

Who's she?

I don't know

Why do you always come to me?

I have things to do

Then I'll wait for you

You have to wait a long time

I'll wait for you

Then you have to wait a long time

What's wrong with me?

At least I am with single mind

Why do you hit her?

Yeah, why do you hit me?

Don't you think I don't dare

I'll kill you

You don't want me

You dump me after you have had sex with me

Isn't it just for money?

No, it isn't for money

I love you

I am not for money

I really love you

You're crazy

Just make a run

Or I'll cut you to pieces

Damn shameless bitch

Let's play rubber-band rope

Come, let's play rubber-band rope

Come on

Don't go

Come

In any event let's clarify our relationship today

You have a husband

My husband is no use

Lower your voice

What're you afraid of?

No need to fear if you dare to do it

In short, I'll give you money

Money... yes, I'll need a lot of it

You think you can afford?

You're prepared, huh?

Let me tell you now

My cousin will come next month

He'd need cash for permit and ID card

That takes 50,000 dollars

Are you worth it?

Maybe I'm not worth it

But if I spread word of our affair around...

You'll be in deep trouble

And that woman is more trouble enough

You think I don't know she's a mistress

Just think what if her man knows

...of your affair!

Perhaps you can bear losing face

She can't

You have no money, she has

You hit me!

My husband never dare hit me. How dare you!

Rape! Help!

I'm being raped... please help!

Help!

Rape!

Someone rapes me

Stop it. That will kill her

Hey, that's not enough

What's that for?

It's for you

Carnation

Like it?

Carnation is only for mothers

Mother's Day?

Do you ever give anything to your Mom?

She wants nothing

She only wants money

As if someone would marry you!

She'll have three kids in her teens

Get fat as a barrel and smell bad

She'll get up every day at six-thirty

Cook an egg for your breakfast

And says it's good for you

Every week you go to Kowloon for tea once

Every half a year you'd take a photo

You have nothing

You laugh at my poverty?

No

At least I have everything

But you don't have a husband

That's okay to me

You say so for sure

I'll go now

If he doesn't find me on the phone

...then I'll truly have nothing

If he lies to his wife, he can lie to you

Are you sure he has no-one else?

That's none of your business

What about me?

I left that woman because of you

What about this?

I don't even know who'd get the money

I don't care

Let go

Sit

"RITA"

Miss Rita

Last night I passed by your house

Your dog scared me

Then I fell down

And dropped a ring

It's my husband's gift

You know when a man gives you some gift

It's no good if you were to lose it

He'll be unhappy

Did you see it?

Help me to find it, please

The ring is worth 100,000 dollars

I'll help you to find it

Then I'll wait for your news

I'm so sorry

Even she can have such an expensive ring

When I studied in Grade Two

I already hated women

That class girl captain...

told the teacher I peeked at her

And the teacher hit me hard for it

I was hit so hard that it broke the ruler

In university I studied the Tang dynasty poems

It said women are tender and passionate

But I found it to the contrary

Women and mean people are hard to deal with

It wasn't easy for me to stay away from women

Now I wouldn't want one anymore

Women are poison!

You're right

Let's toast

Tonight when you're home

You should punish your wife hard

All men are brothers!

Great. I'll punish her tonight

Fifty to hundred thousand each call

Your threat is never-ending

After this time...

Once and for all, I'll leave

You take this man

I'm tired of him

If you're that crazy for men...

I'll give my Wang to you, too

Stupid

Where're you going?

Grandma, Grandma. Come on

Murder

Grandma, hurry

What's that serious?

Someone is killed

Hurry, have a look!

Where?

Over there, you see?

What nonsense!

There's nothing there

It's really a murder

Hey, stop talking rubbish!

Go to bed

Stop looking

Kids are innocent

Shorty, don't move

Stop moving

Shorty, Shorty

It was terrible last night

I saw two guys fight

And then one person...

killed the other!

The killer wore a chain

You know, I could...

pull out some hair from the killer

But Grandma doesn't believe me

If you'd please check for me

What're you doing?

You haven't finished your hair-cut?

What happened?

Go and see

Quick

What is it?

Quick

Come, be quick

This is the White Man's house

This is the villa

This is where Jin Bao lives

I live right here

That night

I saw a murder in there

Hey, what's this?

It's a watchband

You can't even recognise it in picture, stupid

Hold it. Hold it. Hold it

What's this?

Silly fool, it's Ninja

That night

The whole night it was thunderous

Under the tree

I saw two guys were fighting over there

And then one man...

killed the other

The killer wore a watchband too

I saw it

But I'm not scared

Then I went out and took a look

But he had run away

I just saw some hair

and a lot of footprints

Now our first move...

is to check out who's missing in the village?

What are you doing here?

Where's your wife, uncle?

Looking for my wife at your age?

You have guts

Go away

I'll get your Dad to take you back

You'd better spend time on study

And stop running around

Go home

Wang, where's your wife?

My wife is sick, okay!

Nosey

Have you seen the White Man and his wife?

Shin, go home for meal

Hurry

Always playing

Marble, time for work

Don't run around

I'm working right now

Look here. On the rock

Here

It's real

The White Man

Women are sick, vicious...

and fierce. We should kill them all

Kill, kill, kill

Then we'll never have to bear with them

What is the time? Oh, time for work

Get lost

Why are the floor so dirty?

Hey, what're you doing?

I just came early to tidy things up

See, what have you done!

I...

White Man. It's him

Little girl

Little girl

Wake up

Little girl

Wake up

You okay?

Are you all right?

But that can't be evidence

That's the record in my children's diary

This proves that everyday he thought of murder

Did your teacher tell you...

not to lie to the police?

I have more evidence

Take it out

I saw that after he killed his wife...

he dragged the corpse away, too

That night he didn't return home

He went out for drinks

Got drunk and slept on a rock

And he cursed the women too

He almost killed me

What a bad White man

Always thinking to kill people

Chinese won't do that

The Chinese don't have that power

Go and see

Hi

Police?

What're you doing?

Playing chess

Play chess?

Is it illegal to play chess?

You have a warrant, sir?

Of course, see

It's marijuana

Go away...

What are you looking?

Nothing good to see

Move away

Hey, what're you doing?

He's my husband

He just slapped me slightly

Is it illegal the husband slapping his wife?

Actually I let him slap me

Why are you arresting him?

Where are you going?

I just went back to my Mama's house

Why don't you call me these few days?

Who is he?

His sworn brother

What's a 'sworn brother'?

Move. Don't pretend anymore

Sir, he's innocent

Don't arrest him

Girl, don't lie

Sir, please don't arrest my husband

Don't arrest my husband

Let him go

Dear

Hello, Miss Rita

Why?

Why am I being fired?

How do I guess if you don't tell me?

Mister Postman. Mister?

No-one believed the murder I told you about

What clue do you have?

I suspected Wang's wife is dead

Oh, dead?

Good if she's dead

Wang, you got mail

It's hot outside. Come and have a seat

Have some tea

Busy?

Yeah, the past few days has been killing!

A lot more people at the festival this year!

You ought to take your girlfriend along

I don't have a girlfriend

You're kidding

Where's Mrs. Wang?

Can you not mention her?

Where has she gone?

I don't know where she has gone

Mind your own business, kid

This letter is from my wife

Marble, Marble

Oh, you are here!

Shorty has been calling you many times

Must have found something new

What did she say in the letter?

She ran away with someone

Now she's with someone else

She told me not to think of her

Even though we can't be a couple

She still thinks of writing to me

I knew she is a good girl

Just the men are bad

That's good. That bitch is gone

Thank God, we'll have peace now

Don't cry

I'm sorry

Shorty and I thought your wife is murdered

What?

I go back to answer the phone

Grandma said many girls...

worried that they can't immigrate in 1997

So they all wanted to marry an old foreigner

Those old men are so ugly!

More ugly than Wang

You see, I don't even have time for toilet

Old Wang, just a woman

One left. More to come

I would get you a good girl later

Grandma

Everyone will quarrel after getting married

Stop being a match-maker

If I don't help them make the match...

They will have no-one to quarrel with

Let's go home

What a crowd!

Look

How much is a pack of tissue?

Fifty cents

What're you doing? Idiot

I told you Wang's wife is dead

No, lousy kid

I kept a secret for you

What secret?

I won't tell anyone

About you and Wang's wife

Grandma

Xiaoji

Xiaoji

Xiaoji

Xiaoji

Marble, get dressed. We go to pray

Grandma is bad. You killed my Xiaoji

You'll have to compensate

No other chicken have folded eyelids

Go...

Wang, what're you doing?

I'm gathering the fire wood

Oh, don't sit here

Sit over there

It'll dirty your pants

And you'll need your Grandma to wash it

I don't care

What did she do?

Did she make you angry?

She's a killer

Jin Bao, faster

Yes

Shorty, Shorty

The village chief gave me 10 dollars...

...to catch grasshopper for the bird

And you won't investigate my case?

All those you mentioned as missing are still alive

I don't know if you're telling the truth

That's no fun

I didn't lie to you

Please help me, okay

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless you let me be the commander

Well, you listen to me whatever I say

The mission we have tonight...

is to search the suspects and evidences

Especially that watchband

Yes, especially the watchband

Jin Bao, you watch number one to fifteen

I'm terribly afraid

Jin Ju, you watch number to thirty

Especially my dad, he's fierce

How could your Dad be the murderer?

He dares to kill pigs

If he's the killer, I'll get him

You watch all the shops

Okay

You watch the pigsty and the doghouse

You must obey the order

You gather information

How come I have nothing to do?

Because you walk slow

That's true

Fine. I'm sick of girls crying

You take my post

Women are troublesome

Everyone take a firecracker as weapon, pass it

Use it only if you see the enemies

The enemies are tough

Be careful. It's life-threatening

Understand?

Yes

Okay, let's go

Go

If anything please say it now

You don't speak and didn't let me either

You won't understand even if I say it

Has your husband been found?

In this situation

Spreading out isn't the worst. At the most we could flee

How'd that help?

I am not afraid of getting caught

I know I am poor

All you love is money

Help!

Help!

Shorty, don't be afraid

Don't be afraid

Come back

Shorty's spirit, come back

Don't be afraid

Shorty's spirit, come back

Shorty, what did you see?

Who is it?

Ghost!

Open up your eye

Shorty, recover

Let's stop the investigation, okay?

We just want you to recover

Yes

Yes, don't be like that

Shorty, don't be afraid... please!

Shorty's spirit, come back

Shorty's spirit, come back

What took so long?

Is it okay?

It's not done yet

Mine is fit for eating?

Marble, come to eat

Shorty's gone mad. I have no appetite

Hey, come over

I'll let you be the host. Come

It smells great

Fire's up

It's ready

Don't kill her

Are you alright?

Grandma will never kill your chicken

I'll buy you another chicken tomorrow

I swear I'll never kill your chick

You hear me?

What're you doing?

It's all your fault

I could watch you once

I can't watch you forever

I'm not willing to do that

I didn't hate you

We had been a couple before

I'll burn more food for you

I'll burn paper clothes for you

I'll offer some Chau Yun Fa's photos, too

Wang...

I need to talk to you urgently

Open the door

Wang, I have something to tell you

You'd better brace yourself for this

Don't be shocked out of mind

Actually your wife is dead

I knew you would be stunned

Relax and listen to me

The letters you got

It's all a farce

It's actually the postman

The postman did it

After he killed your wife...

He forged her letter to you

He knew how

The school taught us...

how to write to ourselves

Let me see the letter. Quick

Then I'll get it for myself

So, will you leave?

Where do we go?

To Mainland China, okay?

Whatever

You don't leave until you got trouble

Now you got trouble

Will this all ever be exposed?

Did you leave any evidence?

The trouble is the letter you wrote

What letter?

The letter you forged in her handwriting

I had never written any letter

So the letter Wang had received...

You read to me

I am quite illiterate

Marble, Marble

Come. Eat something

This is yours

Go on!

How come I have more?

And you have less?

You take this bowl

It's okay for kids to eat more

It's sweet and tasty. Eat now

Where's the letter?

Oh, I forgot where I put them

Eat...

It's new

Yes. Eat while it's hot

Relax, Wang

Everything will come out fine

He can't run away

I'll move on

Or grandma will scold me, bye

Bye

Brother Yao

Where were you last night?

It's late. Time to go

Are you ready?

Yes

You're always the last

Let's go

Where's Marble?

Marble is up the hill with Wang

Ready, go

You see, it flies high

It's great

It's beautiful

Marble, you fly it

It's fun

Be careful. Be careful

What happened?

Marble, Marble

What are you doing here?

There's a kite there

Yes, go have a look

You see

Jin Bao, be careful

Be careful

Hold on

A little to that side

Pull it down

It hurts

What's the matter?

They are all fools

Be smart

Once again

Let's do it again

One try is okay

Calm down

Come again

Do it better

All standby

Ready

You're shooting movies?

Master, who do you fight with?

That's Wan Ji Lang?

Want a drink, master?

The one in red glasses

A woman

Yes

Oh no, fell down!

Brother Ji Lang, you okay?

What's wrong with you?

Who taught you that?

All are fools

You said you'd go to Mainland with me

Really?

Of course you can't remember

I did

Did you see me shooting movie?

A little bit

Next week I'll go to London

I will write to you when I arrive

You better not go

If you don't go, you don't need to write

You'd pay for my living, huh?

No big deal

I don't know what to say

That's rubbish

Okay

Take care

Mister Postman
