00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:38,598
and I would be too old
to get married.
183
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,267
I'm a dead duck,
Peking-style.
184
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:44,187
Listen, folks, you can't go
roaming around San Francisco.
185
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,772
You're hot.
186
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:48,983
I gotta keep you on ice
until I think up an angle.
187
00:17:49,026 --> 00:17:51,611
I do not understand, Mr. Fong.
188
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:53,863
It is very simple,
my father.
189
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:57,366
We are hot, so he must
keep us on ice.
190
00:18:02,664 --> 00:18:03,956
-What is wrong, Mr. Fong?
-There's nothing wrong.
191
00:18:03,999 --> 00:18:05,291
You just caught me
at a bad time.
192
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:06,751
Are you sick?
193
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:08,461
Something went down
the wrong way.
194
00:18:08,504 --> 00:18:11,881
You mean you are not prepared to
honor your proposal of marriage?
195
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,674
Who said anything
like that?
196
00:18:13,717 --> 00:18:15,259
Sure, I'm gonna honor it.
197
00:18:15,302 --> 00:18:17,553
I just want to settle
some old business first.
198
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:26,938
Sit tight. I'll be back
in a minute, folks.
199
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:32,235
Wait, baby. Hold it.
200
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:34,695
[glass shatters]
201
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:38,324
Baby, what's going on?
202
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:39,784
You and your picture bride!
203
00:18:39,827 --> 00:18:42,745
Good-bye, Sammy,
you two-timing Sam!
204
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:44,747
Oh, that.
Is that all?
205
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:47,875
All? As soon as you get rid
of that "old business"?
206
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:49,460
That's me, huh?
The old business.
207
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:51,212
It's a lie! Whoever
said anything like that?
208
00:18:51,255 --> 00:18:52,797
-You did!
-I did?
209
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,340
Why would I say
a stupid thing like that?
210
00:18:54,383 --> 00:18:56,926
-I'll tell you why!
-Never mind.
211
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,761
Oh, Linda,
let me handle this.
212
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,972
I know a family that's
looking for a bride,
213
00:19:01,014 --> 00:19:03,099
and this kid's
exactly the type.
214
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,809
I'll unload her tomorrow.
215
00:19:04,852 --> 00:19:08,938
Keep away from me!
I'm gonna unload you tonight!
216
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,940
Baby, you remember that new
convertible
217
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,775
you've been drooling over?
218
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,277
Well, it's yours.
219
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:17,363
I don't want it.
220
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:18,948
Don't think you can bribe me
with expensive presents.
221
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,533
What?
222
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:22,702
Okay, I'll take it.
When do I get it?
223
00:19:22,744 --> 00:19:25,913
I'll make the down payment
tomorrow... morning.
224
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:27,832
Oh, Sammy!
225
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:31,252
You're the most considerate
friend a girl ever had.
226
00:19:36,091 --> 00:19:38,050
[car horn honks,
tires screech]
227
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:49,979
Hello? Is this
the Ping Wah Supermarket?
228
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,732
This is Madam Liang,
I would like to place my order.
229
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:54,901
How is your octopus today?
230
00:19:54,943 --> 00:19:56,652
Oh, it isn't?
231
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:58,779
Then send me four pounds of
seahorse,
232
00:19:58,822 --> 00:20:02,074
two pounds of dried snake meat,
and a box of longevity noodles.
233
00:20:02,117 --> 00:20:04,911
Oh, yes, and a dozen
thousand-year eggs.
234
00:20:04,953 --> 00:20:07,413
And be sure they're fresh.
235
00:20:07,456 --> 00:20:08,873
Right.
236
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:10,583
Excuse me, ladies.
237
00:20:10,626 --> 00:20:12,793
I had to place my order before
the store closes.
238
00:20:12,836 --> 00:20:14,003
Whose turn is it?
239
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:15,880
Hello, Madam Liang.
240
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:18,007
Can I talk to you for a minute?
It's very important.
241
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,760
Pardon me, I'll be right back.
242
00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:29,143
You wanna see a real doll?
243
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:31,729
-Who is she?
-She's my picture bride.
244
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:34,273
-She is? You're lucky.
-You're even luckier.
245
00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:36,025
Your brother-in-law,
Old Master Wang,
246
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,944
wants a bride for his son,
doesn't he?
247
00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:39,695
Yes, but she's yours, Sammy.
248
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:42,615
Mom picked her out for me. I
got another kumquat on the fire.
249
00:20:42,658 --> 00:20:45,952
I got this kid on ice,
but the ice is melting fast.
250
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:48,162
But what will
the Family Association say?
251
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,081
The elders
would never permit it.
252
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:51,999
Besides, you have a contract
with her father.
253
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:55,002
I'll turn it over to you.
They'll never know.
254
00:20:55,045 --> 00:20:57,588
-I'll talk to my brother-in-law.
-Good.
255
00:20:57,631 --> 00:21:00,049
I'll show him this picture
the first thing in the morning.
256
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,926
Good!
257
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:17,275
My sister's husband.
258
00:21:17,317 --> 00:21:19,026
Now what have I failed to do?
259
00:21:19,069 --> 00:21:20,861
You sit here idling while
I must arrange
260
00:21:20,904 --> 00:21:22,405
for a bride for your son.
261
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:24,407
You have done what?
262
00:21:24,449 --> 00:21:27,159
A wonderful girl. And she's
right here in San Francisco.
263
00:21:27,202 --> 00:21:28,995
Now where did I put...
264
00:21:29,037 --> 00:21:31,747
I will not choose from
these local Chinese girls.
265
00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:34,583
They are without reverence
or filial devotion.
266
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:37,670
My son's wife must be
born in a suitable month,
267
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:39,297
from a house with a high door.
268
00:21:39,339 --> 00:21:42,008
Exactly. A girl
from the old country.
269
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:44,552
Fine, respected,
well-educated.
270
00:21:44,594 --> 00:21:46,429
And here she is.
271
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,934
She looks right.
272
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:54,812
-Where did you get this?
-Sammy Fong.
273
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:58,065
He will present her this
afternoon for your inspection.
274
00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:01,402
Good morning, my father.
Auntie.
275
00:22:01,445 --> 00:22:03,029
Did you sleep well, my father?
276
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:05,197
Yes. Thank you, my son.
277
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,491
Good.
I need some money.
278
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:10,369
Money.
That is nothing unusual.
279
00:22:10,412 --> 00:22:11,829
How much this time?
280
00:22:11,872 --> 00:22:13,289
25 bucks.
281
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,166
-Bucks?
-Dollars.
282
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,126
Hi, Pop.
Hi, Auntie.
283
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:19,712
Sit! Only cannibals
eat standing up.
284
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:22,048
-Okay.
-And you sit down, too.
285
00:22:22,090 --> 00:22:25,217
Now, what do you need
those $25 for?
286
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,094
He probably got himself
a new tomato.
287
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:28,763
Tomato?
288
00:22:28,805 --> 00:22:30,973
For $25 you could fill
this room with tomatoes.
289
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,225
Father, I must hurry
or I'll be late for class.
290
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,269
I shall go to the bank
and change a bill.
291
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:36,771
I will give you the money later.
292
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:38,314
I'll advance it
for you, Ta.
293
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:39,857
If you kept your money
in the bank,
294
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,150
you could give him a check.
295
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:43,027
Do I tell you where
to keep your money?
296
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,236
Here you are, Ta.
297
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:45,988
Thanks, Auntie.
Well, I've gotta run.
298
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:47,907
My son, your aunt has been
talking to me
299
00:22:47,949 --> 00:22:50,117
about choosing a bride for you.
300
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,161
What are you doing?
301
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,914
I can't wait to have a lot of
little nephews and nieces
302
00:22:54,956 --> 00:22:56,290
running around the house.
303
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,458
Quiet!
304
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,585
Your aunt is right.
305
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:02,046
Father, they don't do things
like that over here.
306
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:04,382
Here a man picks his own wife.
307
00:23:04,424 --> 00:23:08,552
Ta! While you are still my
son, you will do as I tell you!
308
00:23:08,595 --> 00:23:12,390
[coughs] There. You have given
me a coughing spell.
309
00:23:12,432 --> 00:23:14,266
I'm sorry, my father.
310
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:16,018
Strange how your cough comes
over you
311
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:17,603
when you do not get
your own way.
312
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:19,688
But every time
I speak to the boy about...
313
00:23:19,731 --> 00:23:21,607
We can discuss that later,
my father. I've got to go.
314
00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:25,778
Ta! Ta!
315
00:23:25,821 --> 00:23:27,279
I gotta go, too.
316
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:29,615
So long, Pop. Don't take
any wooden chopsticks.
317
00:23:29,658 --> 00:23:32,535
You! You go right back
and finish your breakfast!
318
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:34,370
What language is he using?
319
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,872
I have a feeling he has been
disrespectful,
320
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:38,082
but I am not sure.
321
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:40,960
No, no,
that is American-style slang.
322
00:23:41,002 --> 00:23:43,129
And I suppose
it's American-style, too,
323
00:23:43,171 --> 00:23:45,756
when a boy can do anything
without his father's consent.
324
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,008
Yes, but this is the USA.
325
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:50,803
In my citizenship class,
I have learned,
326
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:52,805
"We, the people
of the United States,
327
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:56,058
"are entitled to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happy times."
328
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:58,436
And the parents are entitled
to pay the bills!
329
00:23:58,478 --> 00:24:00,521
Where are you going,
my sister's husband?
330
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:04,316
I'm going to the bank to change
my old-fashioned $100 bill.

00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,195

I had a feeling
you were going to call me.
553
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:54,039
You did? How?
554
00:38:54,081 --> 00:38:56,374
Well, I was concentrating
on it all week,
555
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,918
and I always get
what I concentrate on.
556
00:38:58,961 --> 00:39:00,754
I can understand that.
557
00:39:00,796 --> 00:39:02,714
That's how I got this car.
558
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:04,382
Just by concentrating?
559
00:39:04,425 --> 00:39:06,092
Uh-huh. I always wanted one,
560
00:39:06,135 --> 00:39:09,804
and my brother bought it for
me, you know, to save carfare.
561
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:11,306
Your brother?
562
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:13,808
Oh, yes. He's an officer
on an ocean liner.
563
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:16,144
He's very strict with me.
564
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:18,396
Doesn't like me to go out
with boys at all.
565
00:39:18,439 --> 00:39:20,815
He sounds more like a jealous
lover to me.
566
00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:24,569
Mm-hmm. He likes me to stay home
and study my singing.
567
00:39:24,612 --> 00:39:27,113
Are you serious
about a career?
568
00:39:27,156 --> 00:39:29,157
No, not particularly.
569
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,785
I want to be a success
as a girl.
570
00:39:31,827 --> 00:39:33,995
Oh, it's nice to have
outside accomplishments,
571
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:39,084
like singing, cooking
or first aid.
572
00:39:39,126 --> 00:39:40,710
But the main thing is
for a woman
573
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:43,254
to be successful in her gender.
574
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:45,006
Yeah, but don't you think
it's important
575
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,133
to do one thing very well?
576
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:49,844
Well, sure,
that's what I mean.
577
00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:51,930
What are your ambitions?
578
00:39:51,972 --> 00:39:54,057
Well, I'll be graduating
from college pretty soon.
579
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,184
Then I guess I'll study law,
'cause then I won't have
580
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:58,061
to look for a job for another
three years.
581
00:39:58,104 --> 00:39:59,521
What will you do for money?
582
00:39:59,563 --> 00:40:01,981
-My father.
-Is he rich?
583
00:40:02,024 --> 00:40:03,942
Very, and he doesn't care
what I do
584
00:40:03,984 --> 00:40:05,610
as long as I marry and give him
grandchildren.
585
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:06,778
Cigarette?
586
00:40:06,821 --> 00:40:09,406
Oh, no, thanks. I don't smoke.
587
00:40:09,448 --> 00:40:14,119
Your father sounds very
Chinese.
588
00:40:14,161 --> 00:40:17,163
He is completely Chinese.
And that's good.
589
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:19,290
It's good for my brother,
'cause he's completely American.
590
00:40:19,333 --> 00:40:21,000
And I'm both,
591
00:40:21,043 --> 00:40:23,128
and sometimes the American half
shocks the Oriental half,
592
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,046
and sometimes
the Oriental half
593
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:27,632
keeps me from showing a girl
what's on my mind.
594
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:31,302
Well, let's start working
on the American half.
595
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:40,228
Oh, what's that,
with the Chinese letters?
596
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:43,857
Oh, that's not Chinese, it's
Greek. It's my fraternity pin.
597
00:40:43,899 --> 00:40:48,319
Oh, it's sweet. The tiniest
pearls I've ever seen.
598
00:40:48,362 --> 00:40:50,989
Is it true that when a fellow
pins a girl,
599
00:40:51,031 --> 00:40:52,198
that means they're going steady?
600
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:54,492
Yeah. Haven't you
ever been pinned?
601
00:40:54,535 --> 00:40:57,996
No, but I wouldn't mind
going steady with you.
602
00:40:58,038 --> 00:40:59,581
Would you wear it
for me, Linda?
603
00:40:59,623 --> 00:41:02,125
-I'd love to.
-Oh, boy.
604
00:41:10,593 --> 00:41:11,926
What's the matter?
605
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:13,887
-Oh, it's late.
-What time is it?
606
00:41:13,929 --> 00:41:15,346
Oh, I'd better go.
607
00:41:15,389 --> 00:41:17,599
I promised Brother I'd always
be home early.
608
00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:19,809
I'll be seeing you soon,
won't I?
609
00:41:19,852 --> 00:41:22,270
We're going steady, aren't we?
610
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:45,585
[Mei Li humming]
611
00:41:59,266 --> 00:42:02,519
Good evening.
I'm Wang Ta.
612
00:42:06,148 --> 00:42:08,942
You are the first-born.
613
00:42:08,984 --> 00:42:11,236
I am Mei Li from Hong Kong.
614
00:42:11,278 --> 00:42:14,697
My father and I are guests
of your esteemed parent.
615
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:17,283
Oh, I see.
616
00:42:17,326 --> 00:42:20,328
You remove your shoes
Japanese-fashion?
617
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,789
No, it's just that my father
is a very light sleeper.
618
00:42:22,831 --> 00:42:24,457
How long have you been here?
619
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:26,834
Only for two days ago.
620
00:42:26,877 --> 00:42:28,211
Then you haven't seen
anything much?
621
00:42:28,254 --> 00:42:31,130
No, only a little
of anything much.
622
00:42:31,173 --> 00:42:33,299
Do you like it here?
623
00:42:33,342 --> 00:42:35,093
Oh, yes, I like it.
624
00:42:35,135 --> 00:42:37,720
Especially I like Quaker Oats.
625
00:42:37,763 --> 00:42:39,889
Quaker...
[laughs]
626
00:42:39,932 --> 00:42:42,225
You are so tall.
627
00:42:42,268 --> 00:42:45,144
You must have been growing
a long time.
628
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:47,230
Steadily, ever since
I was born.
629
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:48,940
Tell me, Miss Li,
630
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:51,234
what do you expect to do here
in San Francisco?
631
00:42:51,277 --> 00:42:53,361
I came here to get married.
632
00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:56,155
Married?
633
00:42:56,198 --> 00:42:57,740
Oh, I see.
634
00:42:57,783 --> 00:42:59,576
Well, I hope
you'll be very happy.
635
00:42:59,618 --> 00:43:02,996
-I hope you will be happy, too.
-Thanks.
636
00:43:03,038 --> 00:43:05,498
I must say one thing for my
father. He's got good taste.
637
00:43:05,541 --> 00:43:07,292
Oh, yes.
638
00:43:07,334 --> 00:43:09,168
Good night, Miss Li.
639
00:43:09,211 --> 00:43:11,212
I hope you're going
to like it here.
640

He calls himself an editor?!
668
00:45:46,493 --> 00:45:48,453
Why did he not print
my letter?
669
00:45:48,495 --> 00:45:50,413
-[knock on door]
-Who is it?
670
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:52,498
It is Mei Li, Master Wang.
671
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:54,667
I bring your breakfast.
672
00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:56,419
Come in, Mei Li.
673
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:04,010
Good morning, Master Wang.
674
00:46:04,052 --> 00:46:06,679
I have cleaned
your water pipe.
675
00:46:06,722 --> 00:46:09,140
You are a good,
thoughtful girl, Mei Li.
676
00:46:09,183 --> 00:46:11,517
Personally, I never fully
approved of
677
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,394
the old custom of drowning
daughters.
678
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:15,563
Thank you, Master Wang.
679
00:46:15,606 --> 00:46:18,232
Today you will meet
my first-born, Wang Ta.
680
00:46:18,275 --> 00:46:20,026
But I have already met him.
681
00:46:20,068 --> 00:46:21,819
You have? Where?
682
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:23,446
Last night, in the garden.
683
00:46:23,489 --> 00:46:26,324
He is a very good son.
684
00:46:26,366 --> 00:46:29,577
He had his shoes off
so as not to awaken you.
685
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:34,123
He had his shoes off so I would
not know what time he came in.
686
00:46:34,166 --> 00:46:36,584
And how did you respond
to each other?
687
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:38,461
I responded good.
688
00:46:38,504 --> 00:46:41,005
I have not spoken to him
about you yet.
689
00:46:41,048 --> 00:46:44,258
I'm giving him one week
on the American plan.
690
00:46:46,345 --> 00:46:48,596
My sister's husband,
are you not dressed yet?
691
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:51,641
Your knock is getting
very weak, my wife's sister.
692
00:46:51,683 --> 00:46:53,976
It is too late to knock.
We are going to the bank.
693
00:46:54,019 --> 00:46:55,853
No, no, no bank!
694
00:46:55,896 --> 00:46:58,981
Last time you were very lucky.
You only lost $100.
695
00:46:59,024 --> 00:47:00,775
Next time, who knows?
696
00:47:00,818 --> 00:47:02,735
Mei Li, help me with this chest.
697
00:47:02,778 --> 00:47:05,696
Has a man no privacy
even in his own bedroom?!
698
00:47:05,739 --> 00:47:08,366
At your age,
privacy in your bedroom
699
00:47:08,408 --> 00:47:10,201
is the last thing you should
complain about.
700
00:47:10,244 --> 00:47:15,581
It is indeed a sad widower
who inherits his wife's sister.
701
00:47:15,624 --> 00:47:17,250
[groans]
702
00:47:19,253 --> 00:47:22,088
My sister's husband wishes to
open an account in your bank.
703
00:47:22,130 --> 00:47:23,673
That can be arranged.
704
00:47:23,715 --> 00:47:25,591
Have you any references?
705
00:47:25,634 --> 00:47:27,510
References?
706
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:30,680
Here are my references.
707
00:47:30,722 --> 00:47:32,473
Where are yours?
708
00:47:32,516 --> 00:47:35,351
Why, we are members
of the Federal Reserve Bank,
709
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:38,563
and we have assets
of over $3 billion.
710
00:47:38,605 --> 00:47:41,566
And what happens to those
assets if you should fail?
711
00:47:41,608 --> 00:47:44,861
Fail?
Did you say fail?
712
00:47:44,903 --> 00:47:46,779
Must you insult the bank?
713
00:47:46,822 --> 00:47:48,865
They have not even
accepted you as yet.
714
00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:51,200
Where do you keep your money?
715
00:47:51,243 --> 00:47:53,744
Come with me, please.
716
00:47:53,787 --> 00:47:58,416
See that safe?
That door weighs 50 tons.
717
00:47:58,458 --> 00:48:00,626
It looks solid enough.
718
00:48:00,669 --> 00:48:03,045
But I have read
of bank robbers.
719
00:48:03,088 --> 00:48:05,464
What if they
should hold you up?
720
00:48:05,507 --> 00:48:07,675
Come with me, sir.
721
00:48:13,557 --> 00:48:15,558
Excuse me.
722
00:48:15,601 --> 00:48:17,518
You see that button?
723
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:19,520
There is one in every
teller's cage.
724
00:48:19,563 --> 00:48:22,398
It is the best alarm system
ever devised.
725
00:48:22,441 --> 00:48:25,026
The teller presses that
and every alarm in the bank,
726
00:48:25,068 --> 00:48:27,486
and in police headquarters,
is set off.
727
00:48:27,529 --> 00:48:29,280
Is that so?
728
00:48:29,323 --> 00:48:30,781
-[alarm ringing]
-No, no, no, no, no!
729
00:48:30,824 --> 00:48:35,620
False alarm! False alarm!
It's a mistake!
730
00:48:35,662 --> 00:48:38,497
Everybody, everybody!
Back, back!
731
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:41,250
The gentleman made a mistake.
732
00:48:41,293 --> 00:48:43,669
-Mister.
-My sister's husband!
733
00:48:43,712 --> 00:48:45,671
My congratulations.
734
00:48:45,714 --> 00:48:48,466
This is indeed
an excellent system.
735
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:53,137
You look splendid. Splendid.
An excellent fit.
736
00:48:53,180 --> 00:48:55,056
Regular Ivory League.
737
00:48:55,098 --> 00:48:57,141
Three buttons, Pop.
You're swingin'.
738
00:48:57,184 --> 00:48:58,684
I am in torture.
739
00:48:58,727 --> 00:49:01,520
It hurts my arms
and itches my neck.
740
00:49:01,563 --> 00:49:04,565
Can you not do something
about this, Helen Chao?
741
00:49:04,608 --> 00:49:07,610
I'm afraid not, Master Wang.
You must get used to the itch.
742
00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:09,612
[coughs]
743
00:49:09,655 --> 00:49:13,407
That is a bad cough. I must
get some herbs to cure it.
744
00:49:13,450 --> 00:49:15,910
Pound his back gently.
745
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:19,038
This is good for your
cough, Master Wang.
746
00:49:19,081 --> 00:49:22,625
My cough gave me the authority
I need in this household.
747
00:49:22,668 --> 00:49:24,627
But where is my authority now?
748
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:26,671
I put my money in the bank,
749
00:49:26,713 --> 00:49:29,548
and I'm being measured for a
foreign suit that is unbearable.
750
00:49:29,591 --> 00:49:31,759
I know you'll wear this suit
with great distinction, sir.
751
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:34,053
Have you finished
the graduation robe, Helen?
752
00:49:34,096 --> 00:49:36,597
Yes, madam. I worked late
last night.
753
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,265
You must give me the bill.
754
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:41,852
Please, Master Wang,
would you mind?
755
00:49:41,895 --> 00:49:46,440
I'd like this to be a gift,
for Ta's graduation.
756
00:49:46,483 --> 00:49:49,235
That is very good of you.
Why don't you give it to him?
757
00:49:49,277 --> 00:49:50,695
He is in his room.
758
00:49:50,737 --> 00:49:52,071
Thank you, sir.
759
00:49:52,114 --> 00:49:54,907
She is very kind
to your brother.
760
00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:56,617
She's got a yen for him.
761
00:49:56,660 --> 00:49:58,244
A yen?
762
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,622
That's when someone sends you.
And Ta sends her.
763
00:50:01,665 --> 00:50:03,207
Sends her where?
764
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:06,419
Oh, Pop, that's bop.
765
00:50:06,461 --> 00:50:08,129
Bop!
766
00:50:11,717 --> 00:50:14,218
-[knock on door]
-Come in.
767
00:50:16,054 --> 00:50:18,264
-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Helen, come in.
768
00:50:18,306 --> 00:50:19,932
-Have you got it?
-Yes.
769
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:22,977
-Wow.
-Try it on and see how it fits.
770
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:25,021
Boy, I've been waiting
for this.
771
00:50:25,063 --> 00:50:27,815
I copied it
from a Supreme Court judge.
772
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:29,608
Thanks.
773
00:50:31,611 --> 00:50:33,362
How do I look?
774
00:50:33,405 --> 00:50:36,824
If you had a pigeon on your
head, you'd look like a statue.
775
00:50:36,867 --> 00:50:38,409
It's a little loose.
776
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:40,578
Oh, no. With my coat on,
it'll be just right. Here.
777
00:50:40,620 --> 00:50:42,413
Oh, I forgot.
778
00:50:42,456 --> 00:50:44,498
You didn't think I was going
to graduate like this, did you?
779
00:50:44,541 --> 00:50:46,125
You could.
780
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:48,586
Helen, you're coming to
my graduation, aren't you?
781
00:50:48,628 --> 00:50:50,629
Do you want me to, Ta?
782
00:50:50,672 --> 00:50:52,256
Well, sure I want you to.
783
00:50:52,299 --> 00:50:53,799
That's very nice of you.
784
00:50:53,842 --> 00:50:55,426
After all, you're like
one of the family.
785
00:50:55,469 --> 00:50:57,053
Oh, I see.
786
00:50:57,095 --> 00:50:58,763
And you'll be coming to the
party afterwards, too,
787
00:50:58,805 --> 00:50:59,889
won't you?
788
00:50:59,931 --> 00:51:01,891
-Party?
-Mm-hmm.
789
00:51:01,933 --> 00:51:03,976
We're celebrating two
great events in the family.
790
00:51:04,019 --> 00:51:07,772
I'm graduating from college and
Auntie from Citizenship School.
791
00:51:07,814 --> 00:51:10,733
I'll make her a happy coat.
792
00:51:10,776 --> 00:51:12,985
It fits fine.
793
00:51:15,906 --> 00:51:17,323
Know something?
794
00:51:17,365 --> 00:51:19,992
I never realized
it was such fun going steady.
795
00:51:20,035 --> 00:51:22,620
Well, I'm afraid
we won't be seeing
796
00:51:22,662 --> 00:51:24,747
much of each other
anymore, Ta.
797
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:25,790
Why not?
798
00:51:25,832 --> 00:51:27,792
My brother's ship's coming in.
799
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:29,835
You know how he feels
about me and boys.
800
00:51:29,878 --> 00:51:32,046
I couldn't tell him I've been
going steady
801
00:51:32,089 --> 00:51:34,006
unless I told him it was
serious.
802
00:51:34,049 --> 00:51:36,842
Well, I have been pretty
serious so far, haven't I?
803
00:51:36,885 --> 00:51:38,761
Not serious enough.
804
00:51:38,804 --> 00:51:41,347
You see, my brother
wants me to get married.
805
00:51:41,389 --> 00:51:42,765
I can't get married yet.
806
00:51:42,808 --> 00:51:45,017
My father's putting me
through college.
807
00:51:45,060 --> 00:51:47,812
Well, two can be put through
college as cheaply as one.
808
00:51:47,854 --> 00:51:49,772
I'd have to have
my father's consent.
809
00:51:49,815 --> 00:51:52,274
Aren't I good enough?
Don't you think he'll give it?
810
00:51:52,317 --> 00:51:53,943
Sure. It's not that.
It's just that...
811
00:51:53,985 --> 00:51:55,694
I've got an idea, Ta.
812
00:51:55,737 --> 00:51:57,696
Why don't I bring my brother
to your graduation party?
813
00:51:57,739 --> 00:52:00,282
Then we can settle everything.
814
00:52:00,325 --> 00:52:02,952
What's the matter?
You don't look very happy.
815
00:52:02,994 --> 00:52:06,539
It's not that. It's just that
it all happened so suddenly.
816
00:52:06,581 --> 00:52:09,792
Well, can I help it
if you're such a fast worker?
817
00:52:17,551 --> 00:52:19,051
What do you think of it?
818
00:52:19,094 --> 00:52:20,761
It is beautiful.
819
00:52:20,804 --> 00:52:23,806
Mei Li has never had
anything like it before.
820
00:52:23,849 --> 00:52:25,683
What will she say?
821
00:52:25,725 --> 00:52:27,101
She will like it.
822
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:29,270
It cost 92 bucks.
823
00:52:29,312 --> 00:52:30,938
Bucks?
824
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:33,357
Bucks is the American word
for dollars.
825
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,568
Oh.
826
00:52:35,610 --> 00:52:37,653
What are these things for?
827
00:52:37,696 --> 00:52:39,780
All of the women
over here have them.
828
00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:43,742
At home, our daughters are
taught to strap themselves in.
829
00:52:43,785 --> 00:52:45,953
Here they let themselves out.
830
00:52:45,996 --> 00:52:47,746
Out?
831
00:52:47,789 --> 00:52:51,709
Oh, maybe they serve to keep
people away from them in crowds.
832
00:52:51,751 --> 00:52:55,421
Whatever they're for, they all
wear them in the United States.
833
00:52:55,463 --> 00:52:58,716
Here it is a symbol,
like the American eagle.
834
00:52:58,758 --> 00:53:00,217
Oh.
835
00:53:00,260 --> 00:53:02,261
[knock on door]
836
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:05,764
Come in.
837
00:53:10,729 --> 00:53:13,856
-Did you send for me, my father?
-Yes.
838
00:53:13,899 --> 00:53:16,859
Daughter, you may not wear that
dress for the party tonight.
839
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:20,946
But, Father, this is the best
dress I have. I tried it...
840
00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:23,949
Look. This is for you.
841
00:53:23,992 --> 00:53:25,701
No...
842
00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:30,956
Oh, it is beautiful.
843
00:53:30,999 --> 00:53:33,918
And very outspoken.
844
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,961
How can I thank you?
845
00:53:36,004 --> 00:53:37,463
Put it on. See if it fits.
846
00:53:37,505 --> 00:53:39,215
Yes.
847
00:54:01,279 --> 00:54:03,989
Wow!
848
00:54:04,032 --> 00:54:07,159
Wang Ta, why do
you stare at me?
849
00:54:07,202 --> 00:54:09,161
I didn't know you.
850
00:54:09,204 --> 00:54:11,330
Do I look like a tomato?
851
00:54:11,373 --> 00:54:12,915
What?
852
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:15,751
Wang San said you like
American tomatoes.
853
00:54:15,794 --> 00:54:18,379
[chuckles] Don't let him
teach you any English.
854
00:54:18,421 --> 00:54:22,508
Oh, I like Wang San.
He's a cold cat.
855
00:54:22,550 --> 00:54:24,802
I mean a cool cat.
856
00:54:24,844 --> 00:54:25,970
[chuckles]
857
00:54:26,012 --> 00:54:28,847
Oh, Wang San
told me American joke.
858
00:54:28,890 --> 00:54:30,266
Would you like to hear it?
859
00:54:30,308 --> 00:54:33,435
Yes, please.
860
00:54:33,478 --> 00:54:35,688
The first...
861
00:54:37,315 --> 00:54:40,276
The first space ship
landed on the moon
862
00:54:40,318 --> 00:54:42,903
and found people there.
863
00:54:42,946 --> 00:54:47,241
And people in the moon
are so small, like a bean,
864
00:54:47,284 --> 00:54:49,952
they fit on your hand.
865
00:54:49,995 --> 00:54:55,457
And spaceman fell in love with
a girl and asked her to marry.
866
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:59,128
"I love you.
I want to marry you.
867
00:54:59,170 --> 00:55:02,589
"I want to take you
back to the Earth.
868
00:55:02,632 --> 00:55:05,050
"Ask your father.
869
00:55:05,093 --> 00:55:08,679
"Sir, I would...
"Shh.
870
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:11,932
"I would like to marry
with your daughter.
871
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:14,852
"May I? Oh, thank you.
872
00:55:14,894 --> 00:55:16,895
That's wonderful."
873
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:18,731
[laughs]
874
00:55:18,773 --> 00:55:19,815
I like.
875
00:55:19,858 --> 00:55:21,775

Who's taking tickets
down at the theater?
1054
01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:57,285
Well, I... She...
1055
01:05:57,328 --> 01:05:58,870
What did you say
the name of your ship was?
1056
01:05:58,913 --> 01:06:00,538
The SS... The SS...
1057
01:06:00,581 --> 01:06:03,249
Well, you got the
initials right, anyway.
1058
01:06:07,254 --> 01:06:09,714
Now I know where you've been
sneaking off to every night.
1059
01:06:09,757 --> 01:06:12,592
What is it with you?
You don't love that jerk.
1060
01:06:12,635 --> 01:06:14,678
He's a very sweet boy.
1061
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,931
Besides, you and I have been
keeping company for five years,
1062
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:19,766
and I'm just where I started.
1063
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:22,852
I want a little
social security.
1064
01:06:25,022 --> 01:06:26,648
What do you know of marriage?
1065
01:06:26,691 --> 01:06:27,273
What do you know of women?
1066
01:06:27,316 --> 01:06:29,651
Sir, what did you know of
marriage and women
1067
01:06:29,694 --> 01:06:31,403
when you married my mother?
1068
01:06:31,445 --> 01:06:33,697
Nothing. That is why
I obeyed my father
1069
01:06:33,739 --> 01:06:35,573
and married the woman
he chose for me.
1070
01:06:35,616 --> 01:06:37,325
This is not China.
This is a different world.
1071
01:06:37,368 --> 01:06:39,327
And here a man has a right
to choose his own wife.
1072
01:06:39,370 --> 01:06:40,704
And here he also has the right
1073
01:06:40,746 --> 01:06:42,664
to get divorced every year
and pick a new one.
1074
01:06:42,707 --> 01:06:44,374
After all, I am over 21.
1075
01:06:44,417 --> 01:06:47,002
Do you think
you were born over 21?!
1076
01:06:47,044 --> 01:06:50,088
Almost everything you are
up to now has come from me!
1077
01:06:52,174 --> 01:06:54,843
Ta, do you really want
to marry that girl?
1078
01:06:56,929 --> 01:06:59,848
-Sure I do.
-Aha! I knew it!
1079
01:06:59,890 --> 01:07:01,683
You do not even know
your own mind!
1080
01:07:01,726 --> 01:07:02,976
That's not the point!
1081
01:07:03,019 --> 01:07:04,894
Here, a man is supposed to think
for himself!
1082
01:07:04,937 --> 01:07:07,272
When that day come when
you can think for yourself,
1083
01:07:07,314 --> 01:07:09,399
I will let you know!
1084
01:07:20,953 --> 01:07:24,080

1085

In observance
of our ancient tradition,
1086
01:07:26,667 --> 01:07:29,878
we must all start the new year

and a clean conscience
and all our debts paid.
1088

My son!
1092

How did you hurt yourself?
1093
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:52,734
Paul Revere's horse
kicked me.
1094
01:07:52,777 --> 01:07:55,445
Paul who?
1095
01:07:55,488 --> 01:07:57,280
San should see a doctor.
1096
01:07:57,323 --> 01:07:59,032
No, he's all right.
1097
01:07:59,075 --> 01:08:00,867
He's in the New Year's Day
parade.
1098

The spirit of 1776, when
we won the Boston Tea Party.
1099
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:07,624
What happened
to your Western suit?
1100
01:08:07,666 --> 01:08:10,460
I burned a hole in it
while smoking my water pipe.
1101
01:08:10,503 --> 01:08:12,087
Accidentally.
1102
01:08:12,129 --> 01:08:14,798
-Accidentally?
-Throw it away.
1103
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,884
You cannot throw away
an expensive suit like this.
1104
01:08:17,927 --> 01:08:20,804
I will send it to Helen Chao.
She will mend it for you.
1105
01:08:20,846 --> 01:08:25,850
Good morning, Madam Liang.
Master Wang.

Mei Li, I understand

1112
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,265
My son has behaved badly.
1113

But it is not
altogether his fault.
1114
01:09:07,935 --> 01:09:10,979
Ta does not accept
my authority.
1115
01:09:11,021 --> 01:09:15,316
In his rebellion, he does many
foolish things to defy me.
1116
01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:18,945
But I do not believe
he really loves that girl.

My father's probably
called the police
1402
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:48,032
and every hospital in town.
1403
01:35:48,075 --> 01:35:49,659
Please, Ta.
Stay and eat something.
1404
01:35:49,702 --> 01:35:51,536
Thanks, Helen. Some other time.
I've got to get home.
1405
01:35:51,579 --> 01:35:53,580
-When will you come again?
-Soon.
1406
01:35:53,622 --> 01:35:57,333
Ta, please.
Don't go yet.
1407
01:35:57,376 --> 01:35:58,501
Please.
1408
01:35:58,544 --> 01:36:02,338
Helen, I'd like to stay.
1409
01:36:02,381 --> 01:36:04,257
But you know
my father, he'll...
1410
01:36:06,177 --> 01:36:09,137
Really, Helen, I'm sorry.
1411
01:36:09,180 --> 01:36:11,639
Maybe some other time.
1412
01:36:11,682 --> 01:36:14,017
Ta.
1413
01:36:20,357 --> 01:36:22,275
Look. He didn't come home.
1414
01:36:22,318 --> 01:36:25,111
This is the first time
he's stayed out all night.
1415
01:36:25,154 --> 01:36:27,405
What could he be doing?
1416
01:36:27,448 --> 01:36:30,533
If this was a quiz program,
I could win a trip to Europe.
1417
01:36:30,576 --> 01:36:33,119
I want you to call
the police department
1418
01:36:33,162 --> 01:36:34,704
to close down that nightclub.
1419
01:36:34,747 --> 01:36:36,664
It is destroying
public morals.
1420
01:36:36,707 --> 01:36:39,542
They cannot.
It is a free enterprise.
1421
01:36:39,585 --> 01:36:41,961
It is that dancing girl's fault!
1422
01:36:42,004 --> 01:36:44,589
Throwing her evil spirits
in my face!
1423
01:36:44,632 --> 01:36:47,759
That is American folk dance.
1424
01:36:47,802 --> 01:36:50,303
-Uh-oh.
-Wait!
1425
01:36:50,346 --> 01:36:52,555
-Why are you not in school?
-It's Saturday.
1426
01:36:52,598 --> 01:36:55,850
Always some excuse!
1427
01:36:58,354 --> 01:37:02,607
I was going to mess up your bed,
but the folks beat me to it.
1428
01:37:04,235 --> 01:37:06,194
Father?
1429
01:37:06,237 --> 01:37:08,279
Where have you been
to this hour?
1430
01:37:08,322 --> 01:37:09,864
Spending the night...
1431
01:37:09,907 --> 01:37:12,534
Stop! Not in front
of your aunt!
1432
01:37:12,576 --> 01:37:15,912
I beg your forgiveness,
my father.
1433
01:37:15,955 --> 01:37:19,415
You were right.
I should've listened.
1434
01:37:19,458 --> 01:37:21,793
I was a fool.
1435
01:37:21,836 --> 01:37:26,631
Knowing you are a fool
is the beginning of wisdom.
1436
01:37:26,674 --> 01:37:29,425
Now I have my son back.
1437
01:37:29,468 --> 01:37:32,136
Send Mei Li to me.
1438
01:37:33,639 --> 01:37:35,014
Finding the right woman
1439
01:37:35,057 --> 01:37:38,142
is a responsibility that
rests on my shoulders.
1440
01:37:38,185 --> 01:37:41,020
And I'm happy to say
that I have found her.
1441
01:37:41,063 --> 01:37:42,647
I have spoken to Dr. Li.
1442
01:37:44,608 --> 01:37:46,401
True, Wang Ta.
1443
01:37:46,443 --> 01:37:48,695
I would be honored to
have you for my son-in-law.
1444
01:37:48,737 --> 01:37:51,990
Come, we will drink to the
happiness of our children
1445
01:37:52,032 --> 01:37:54,659
with tiger bone wine.
1446
01:38:01,208 --> 01:38:03,918
Ah, my child.
I'm glad you are here.
1447
01:38:03,961 --> 01:38:06,880
We must all drink
to my grandchildren.
1448
01:38:09,508 --> 01:38:12,802
Leave them alone.
Let them settle it themselves.
1449
01:38:15,514 --> 01:38:17,599
What is it, Mei Li?
1450
01:38:18,642 --> 01:38:20,518
Look at me, Mei Li.
1451
01:38:27,610 --> 01:38:30,028
I want to tell you a story.
1452
01:38:32,197 --> 01:38:34,574
Along the Hwang Ho valley
1453
01:38:34,617 --> 01:38:37,577
where young men walk
and dream,
1454
01:38:37,620 --> 01:38:40,371
a flower boat
with singing girls
1455
01:38:40,414 --> 01:38:43,541

Yesterday I would have been
very happy if you loved me.
1477
01:40:51,754 --> 01:40:56,799
But last night I learned it
was another girl you wanted.
1478
01:40:56,842 --> 01:40:59,052
No, that was all a mistake.
1479
01:40:59,094 --> 01:41:01,095
My engagement
to Linda Low is broken.
1480
01:41:01,138 --> 01:41:04,098
I am not speaking of Miss Low.
1481
01:41:04,141 --> 01:41:07,852
This morning I took...
1482
01:41:07,895 --> 01:41:11,647
I took your father's coat
to Helen Chao's to be mended.
1483
01:41:11,690 --> 01:41:15,526
I saw another coat on a chair.
1484
01:41:17,571 --> 01:41:19,989
And this flower...
1485
01:41:20,032 --> 01:41:22,533
You will not understand
how I feel
1486
01:41:22,576 --> 01:41:26,370
unless I tell you something.
1487
01:41:26,413 --> 01:41:29,123
It will be hard to say.
1488
01:41:29,166 --> 01:41:34,879
When you came into this garden
the first time I saw you,
1489
01:41:34,922 --> 01:41:37,590
I knew I loved you.
1490
01:41:37,633 --> 01:41:39,884
I knew I wanted
to be your wife.
1491
01:41:39,927 --> 01:41:41,552
Oh, Mei Li.
1492
01:41:41,595 --> 01:41:46,099
It is necessary for me to tell
you this strange thing
1493
01:41:46,141 --> 01:41:50,812
so that you will understand
how I feel now.
1494
01:41:50,854 --> 01:41:56,067
It is because I loved you
on that first day
1495
01:41:56,110 --> 01:42:00,446
that my heart
is so hurt today.
1496
01:42:00,489 --> 01:42:02,657
I do not love you anymore.
1497
01:42:20,759 --> 01:42:24,846
I'm grateful for your
hospitality, Master Wang,
1498
01:42:24,888 --> 01:42:28,015
but the time has come
for us to leave you.
1499
01:42:28,058 --> 01:42:31,561
Please believe that our
reasons are good ones.
1500
01:42:46,827 --> 01:42:48,494
There he goes again.
1501
01:42:48,537 --> 01:42:50,413
-I'm clean.
-Me, too.
1502
01:42:50,455 --> 01:42:51,831
Hey, what's the matter?
1503
01:42:51,874 --> 01:42:53,749
Don't you enjoy winning
a fortune?
1504
01:42:53,792 --> 01:42:55,835
Oh, Sammy's carrying
a torch for Linda.
1505
01:42:55,878 --> 01:42:57,628
You some kind of nut
or something?
1506
01:42:57,671 --> 01:42:59,881
Sammy Fong don't carry
a torch for any dame.
1507
01:42:59,923 --> 01:43:01,799
-[door buzzer]
-I'll get it.
1508
01:43:04,970 --> 01:43:06,762
Hello, Mrs. Fong.
1509
01:43:06,805 --> 01:43:08,890
-Hello.
-Hello, Mama.
1510
01:43:08,932 --> 01:43:11,309
Hello, Uncle.
Sit down, Mom. Sit down.
1511
01:43:11,351 --> 01:43:12,894
Why didn't you let me know
you were coming?
1512
01:43:12,936 --> 01:43:15,605
We just finished dinner.
Having our tea.
1513
01:43:15,647 --> 01:43:17,440
Sammy cooked us
a wonderful goose.
1514
01:43:17,482 --> 01:43:19,692
My son is a very fine host.
1515
01:43:19,735 --> 01:43:20,818
Sit down, gentlemen.
1516
01:43:20,861 --> 01:43:22,361
They were just leaving.
1517
01:43:22,404 --> 01:43:23,905
You must give us
a revenge some time, Sammy.
1518
01:43:23,947 --> 01:43:25,823
Sure, any time.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
1519
01:43:25,866 --> 01:43:27,533
-Thanks a lot for the dinner.
-Thank you, Sammy.
1520
01:43:27,576 --> 01:43:29,660
-See you later.
-See you.
1521
01:43:29,703 --> 01:43:32,205
-Thanks for the tea, Sammy.
-Yeah.
1522
01:43:32,247 --> 01:43:34,123
Sammy, that's just the crowd
1523
01:43:34,166 --> 01:43:35,917
I don't wish you to
go around with.
1524
01:43:35,959 --> 01:43:38,502
Gamblers. They'll take
all your money away from you.
1525
01:43:38,545 --> 01:43:39,921
Right now they're
having a little trouble.
1526
01:43:39,963 --> 01:43:41,797
It's living alone like this.
1527
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,799
Oh, I don't mind living alone,
not the way I do it.
1528
01:43:43,842 --> 01:43:45,384
Oh! Excuse me.
1529
01:43:45,427 --> 01:43:47,386
Oh, good evening, Miss Low.
1530
01:43:47,429 --> 01:43:49,096
This is my mother
and my uncle.
1531
01:43:49,139 --> 01:43:51,515
This young lady is an employee
at the Celestial Gardens.
1532
01:43:51,558 --> 01:43:53,517
-How do you do?
-How do you...
1533
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:55,061
I came to see Mr. Fong
on business.
1534
01:43:55,103 --> 01:43:55,686
Oh, I see.
1535
01:43:55,687 --> 01:43:57,772
Mama, why don't you and Uncle
go on ahead
1536
01:43:57,814 --> 01:43:59,190
to the Family Association?
1537
01:43:59,233 --> 01:44:00,233
I'll meet you there.
1538
01:44:00,275 --> 01:44:01,275
Very well, my son.
1539
01:44:01,318 --> 01:44:02,568
Business first.
1540
01:44:02,611 --> 01:44:05,154
-An interesting business.
-Yeah.
1541
01:44:07,074 --> 01:44:08,950
What's the idea
of barging in like that?
1542
01:44:08,992 --> 01:44:10,826
I never rang the bell before.
1543
01:44:10,869 --> 01:44:13,037
I came to pick up my umbrella.
1544
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:14,747
Listen, baby,
I did you a favor.
1545
01:44:14,790 --> 01:44:16,916
You and that guy
would never be happy.
1546
01:44:16,959 --> 01:44:19,252
Baby, deep down in that
plastic heart of yours,
1547
01:44:19,294 --> 01:44:20,878
you know we belong together.
1548
01:44:20,921 --> 01:44:23,005
We were both born
in the Year of the Horse.
1549
01:44:23,048 --> 01:44:24,882
This horse is scratched.
1550
01:44:24,925 --> 01:44:26,926
But, baby, you know the
spot I'm in with my mom.
1551
01:44:26,969 --> 01:44:29,303
A grown man
afraid of his mother.
1552
01:44:29,346 --> 01:44:31,389
But, sweetie,
Pop left her the business.
1553
01:44:31,431 --> 01:44:33,641
If I cross her, she'll cut
me off without a fried noodle.
1554
01:44:33,684 --> 01:44:34,850
Talk is cheap.
1555
01:44:34,893 --> 01:44:36,852
This time
I'll prove it to you.
1556
01:44:36,895 --> 01:44:38,562
Now don't blow this.
1557
01:44:38,605 --> 01:44:40,523
I'm in the money
and the mood at the same time.
1558
01:44:40,565 --> 01:44:42,817
It may never fall
that way again.
1559
01:44:42,859 --> 01:44:46,779
Linda, will you marry me?
1560
01:44:46,822 --> 01:44:48,906
Yes!
1561
01:44:51,702 --> 01:44:54,245
There you are, baby.
We're as good as married.
1562
01:44:54,288 --> 01:44:56,789
