Mr. Huang had a bit too much to drink.

Don't worry. This happens a lot

Would you like a cup of coffee?

It's late I've got to get going

Good night, Mrs Huang.

No! Not now!

You're drunk!

Why are you always avoiding me?

Miss Lyn, thanks for renting these tapes.

Aren't you afraid your husband will find out?

He's the one who rented them. He hid them.

I wanted to share them with you.

Why didn't he watch them with you?

That's not very exciting.

You should watch tapes with a lover.

So you're experienced. Mrs. Chow?

Who is he? Tell us!

Whet he the young guy with you at the Club?

Mrs Wang's making fun of me again

Don't corrupt Li-Ling

She's never been an indecent woman.

Oh... I have to go wake up David.

David's here now?

What if your husband finds out?

He'll never know, if you don't gossip

I have some more things to show you.

Sure.

Hello?

Is this Mr Niu?

We're playing cards

Shu?

Just a minute.

It's her husband calling. Go get her

I'll go.

What the hell's taking her so long?

She went to the bedroom and disappeared

Tell Shu to hurry up!

I love this royal blue.

I bought it from Pierre's... very expensive.

Shu said she'll call him later.

Hello. Mr Niu? She just stepped out

She'll call you back

What are you thinking about?

Shu's boyfriend seems quite experienced

Maybe he has a friend for you

A boyfriend! How's that?

Are you kidding?

Oh. I found it... Here

This is the phone number Shu gave me

It's the escort service. Call any hour.

They'll arrange a guy for you.

I never tried it, but you can do it for fun.

Do you remember what Master Wang said?

He said you'll have an extra-marital affair.

David, let me introduce the girls

This is Mrs. Lyn, Mrs Chang. Mrs. Wang,

and my friend Li-Ling.

David has to go I'll be right back

Don't rush. Enjoy every precious moment

You're late

I'm sorry, the traffic held me up

It's a deal The contracts are up to you

This is the financial report I did for you.

If I have any questions, I'll ask Mr Chen

Call me when you get to Los Angeles

I have to stop over in Tokyo first

You have business in Japan?

My wife sometimes gets lonely at home

Take her out sometime

He's making fun of me. Mr Yeh

I'll do what I can.

Still waiting for someone?

No, no... it's about time to board.

Have a nice trip.

Did you drive here. Mrs. Huang?

Yes, I did

Are you going straight home?

Of course.

If there's anything I can do, just call me.

Here's my card.

You're too late President has boarded.

Already? What's a pity!

Who's that woman?

I'd like to have a talk with you...

I'm writing about a secretary in list school

How did you know I'm interfaith things?

Men like you don't believe those ideas

I'll walk you to the car.

That's not necessary Thank you

Are you up yet. Mrs. Huang?

Mr. Yeh is here. Do you want to see him?

Tell him I'll be down in a minute

Good morning. Mrs. Yeh

Your husband called me this morning

He wants me to pick up some papers

Papers?

He said he told you about them

I'll go take a look Just a moment.

Are these the papers you need?

I think so

You called me last night?

Yes, my husband told me to

I'm sorry to have woken you

I have to apologize for not being dressed

It looks natural on you

Have some tea

Please have a sit.

Thanks

So Mr. Huang will be away for a month

It's important work

He's used to it.

Are you involved in import/export?

I don't know anything. You must be an expert

I learned a lot about it.

Mr. Huang asked me for stock market tips.

Of course he'll do some P R... for me.

Are these papers about stocks?

Right.

Breakfast is ready Is Mr Yeh staying?

It's late I have to go to the Exchange.

So soon? Really?

It's almost 10:00.

I was wondering

I can show you around the Stock Exchange.

I get dizzy around so many figures

Whatever you say!

I have to leave.

Well... goodbye

Hello?

This is Yeh Yuan Excuse me, Mrs Huang...

You came here this morning for nothing

I was too involved in our conversation.

When will you come back for the envelope?

I'm busy this afternoon and this evening

If that's the case, forget it!

Are you free at 3:00?

I have to attend a lecture

Where?

In the Crystal Building

The Crystal Building? I know it.

I'll meet you at the Modern Gallery?

I'm not a fan of modern art

That's only the name It's not all modern.

I've passed it.

I'll see you then Don't forget the envelope

Is it o k for us to meet in public?

Why not?

All right. See you there

What would you call this painting

How about "Confused."

You gave me a shock, Mr. Yeh.

I thought you'd get here late.

I'm the one who's late.

I know you're a very busy man

You don't seem too familiar with this art

It's a shame. I know so little about art

Your sea-side villa has beautiful paintings

They're really in good taste

I hung exactly what the decorator told me

Your husband must be familiar with art

I don't know.

Please keep your voices down.

Let's leave so we don't disturb anyone

I have to go to the lecture now.

It's early. Why are you rushing off?

I can't get a seat if I came too late.

Then why go at all?

I paid for my ticket.

Then I'll pay you back.

You're busy too Another day

No, I have nothing else to do this afternoon.

Did you come by car or taxi?

Taxi.

Leave take you home.

No, thanks, I can manage

I've been unlucky recently...

But today we're at Li-Ling's house

It's about time for me to get lucky again.

Haven't seen Shu for quite a while...

She must be having a good time!

She's forgotten about us

That's true

I wonder what she's up to now.

Yes

I've got news. But don't spread it around.

What?

She got pregnant. She's really anxious

She's so promiscuous. It was inevitable

She should get rid of it, secretively.

She knows about such things.

I know a good fortune teller in the country

He knows all about babies and abortions.

I told her, but I don't know if she went.

Hello

Just a moment.

It's your turn.

It's for you

It's me... Li-Ling.

Just a second I'll take it over there.

Are you free tonight?

No, I have a card game.

Then. Tomorrow afternoon?

I have a flower-arranging class at 400

Can you ship it? No

Then I'll meet you there at 500

No, the class won't be over yet.

What's so important about flower-arranging?

Please don't call me again, Yeh Yuan...

Let's stop it right here

Listen to me

This is the chief feature of this type

The flower is placed in the middle.

The main twig is placed in between...

Now we arrange the twigs on the sides...

one in front of the flower at 70 degrees...

and we add a Chrysanthemum behind it.

It comes behind the main twig.

Your arrangement is reversed

Each of you has different flowers now

So we have to adjust things a little...

Get in!

Just get in

So, forgotten me already?

What do you take me for?

And what do you take me for!

If you leave me, you'll regret it!

I already regret I had an affair with you

Let go of me!

I'll get out of the car!

Get out? O K. I'll stop the car right here

I know you can't forget about me

Listen, Yeh Yuan...

don't push me too far

I'm not pushing you I just miss you.

One time. I made a fortune on a stock deal

I gave the money to my father...

tens of thousands of dollars.

He thought I earned it from my news job

It was more than his salary for a year.

He pushed a pencil in civil service.

I've never written a poem again

What does poetry have to do with stocks?

Yes what does it?

I've been thinking...

We're always making excuses for ourselves...

for whatever we've done in the past

Some day we'll realize no matter how we try,

we still can't get very far...

Yet our life is half-way over.

Not running to the newspaper this morning?

First to the Stock Exchange

And this afternoon?

I don't know. Maybe I'll go get some sleep

Drop me off around the corner

Why? Afraid of being discovered?

No I'm afraid I can't let you go

Don't worry. I won't run away.

Your husband called late last night

What did he have to say?

He just asked me where you were.

What did you say?

I told him I don't know playing cards?

What did he say?

He asked me what time it was here... 2:00 AM.

Then he hung up.

And Mrs. Niu called. She said it's important.

Does your husband know about your pregnancy?

I told him. He wants to get rid of it

Can the fortune teller give you any advice?

I think so He has eyes which see futures

He can see a baby's soul inside each woman

He can reincarnate souls of aborted babies.

How does he do that? The babies aren't born.

They're dead before they're born.

They'll be turned into evil souls

hanging around their mothers forever.

I'm going to ask the fortune teller about it

Will it be dangerous to get rid of the baby?

He can tell if you got rid of any babies.

Don't worry. You've never been pregnant

Come in!

You! Two! Two!

The one back there. Come in!

You! One! One!

One

Come here

You there! One moment!

Careful! It's dangerous to rid your baby!

Okay, go home.

That's strange... What's wrong on?

You and your husband never had a child

Could he be wrong about you?

You mean. He was talking about me?

I'll check with him to see what he meant

It's not necessary Come on.

What

Do you think I'm an easy woman?

I told myself not to go so fast

How long have we known each other?

Less than a week!

I really like you very much. I want you.

My boyfriend enlisted in the service.

I haven't made love with anyone for so long

So I've become your sex machine

How did you feel with me?

Not bad!

How can you say you're only my sex machine

You enjoyed things also

You're honest... not different others I met

My girlfriends are all this way

Do all your friends go to bed immediately?

Right. After they meet guy?

Some just can't wait. Other could back

We have our needs too!

Aren't you worried about your own of life?

How it will affect you future married life?

I thought about it. But everybody's like me

Nothing matter that...

Still worrying? I said I'd come. Right?

Take your time we're only in the foyer.

So what?

Didn't you say there's no one home?

What are you afraid of? He won't appear.

He could come back any day this week.

How? Flying down from heaven?

Don't scare yourself.

Daring, tell me the truth

Aren't you afraid he'll finally discover us?

What can he do about it?

You're still his wife... I'm still his friend

What if I get pregnant?

I'm sure you've been careful about that

But just in case it happens?

Such a pretty bedroom...

So this is the place he does it to you.

Don't mention him.

Please don't mention him here.

Here comes the car, Mr. President.

Tell me if your husband ever got you so hot

You won't? Okay. I'm leaving.

Yes, I will... I will

My husband never...

I can't hear it. Louder!

My husband never got me

never got me so hot.

Never got me so hot.

Never got me so hot.

Never got me so hot.

Good... So you're really my woman

Does Yeh Yuan know me turning today?

No Your schedule so tight

I didn't even notify your wife

That's okay.

I'll surprise her

Do you want to go the office or go home?

Home!

I want you to miss me remember me.

Wherever you go, remember how we make love

You only live at this house.

I want you to remember forever making love.

Forever...

Yes forever

throughout my life.

Do you know your wife was at the airport?

Did she say anything to you about the woman?

No.

Women are easy to soothe with little gifts

They need a couple of women's activities...

like flower-arranging or cards.

That's all they need to feel satisfied

We're home, Mr. Huang stop here?

Tell the doorman to wait with my luggage

Your husband has good taste...

He even hung a mirror in the bedroom

No, the fortune-teller advised hanging it

He said it would help change our luck.

Who believes in such things?

I know what a mirror in the bedroom is for

Please. Not this way It enrages the god.

Just take a look

Do it

I want you to take a look

Look!

After a long separation. A husband

and wife should meet again dramatically

Darling!

Cheng...

You're home?

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you tell me you'd be back today?

I decided to surprise you.

The housekeeper isn't home. I'll get you tea.

Your zipper's undone.

Help me with it

Anything I can do for you. Mr President?

I'm going to take a rest.

I'll inspect the plant tomorrow. Notify them

Yes, Sir.

And I'd like to meet with Yeh Yuan

Sure.

It's muggy Is the air conditioner on?

I'm going to take a shower I didn't sleep

I'll get your things

Hello...

It's me. Yeh Yuan

Hello... Why won't you talk with me?

Who is this?

Yeh Yuan.

You already know I'm home?

So you're back

Aren't you calling to talk to me?

Sure. Sure

Did my assistant notify you?

No.

Then how did you know I got home?

He mentioned it to me a couple days ago.

So I just thought I'd try

Can we get together soon?

Okay

He'll make arrangements for our meeting

Any time you say

See you soon

Bye for now.

Bye

Were you no the line. Darling?

You know the money is safe in my hands

I can't afford this wait.

Maybe I should invest with someone else

It's only been two months. Wait a few days?

I was told the case will be audited Monday.

You told me that before...

Using your articles to drive up stench prices!

It's not that easy to handle so much stock

I'll handle both problems at the same time.

You don't have to worry about me.

Phone call for Mr. Yeh...

It's for you

I'll take it over there.

Hello.

Okay

Excuse me I have to leave for an emergency.

What's so important?

I'll take care of the stock Don't worry.

We have an appointment with the manager.

Don't forget tomorrow's meeting. Yeh.

Of course. I'll be there.

Keep the change.

You're really acting...

Calling me at Huang's office!

I called the number you gave me last night...

You weren't there, so I tried you at Huang's.

Yeh!

Hello. Cheng

This is Miss Ting Mrs and Mr Huang.

You're quite a guy. Yeh.

You get all the best-looking girls

Miss Ting is a co-worker She just graduated

She works for our section

We have a great working relationship

Cheers! To your working relationship

Mrs Huang can really handle her wine!

Cheers. Yeh! To our co-venture...

Miss Ting is a good journalist

but she doesn't know much about real estate.

You're right, I don't

I heard about the price of houses here...

It costs over NT$5 million to buy a condo!

My monthly salary's only about NT$10.000

It would take me over 500 months to buy it.

Could you figure it out for me

How many years is 500 months?

500 months?

41years

So I have to continuously work over 40 years.

To buy a condo for myself?

More than 40 years

By then. Prices will have gone way up.

What can I do?

Easy marry a rich man.

Mr. And Mrs Huang...

I'd like to propose a toast to both of you!

Excuse me

Let me help you!

It's okay... I can manage.

Congratulations, Mrs Huang.

According to my tests, you're pregnant.

How could it be?

Who's next? Hsu

That's me.

Do you come here often?

Yes I asked if I'll would have a boy or girl.

The god showed me a flower, and I had a boy

A flower for a boy?

It's for a girl. A fruit is for a boy.

The god blamed me for praying for a boy.

He gave me a flower as punishment

Next! Li-Ling

Don't be afraid. Go ahead!

What are you looking at, madam?

You can take it to the interpreter. Madam

Next!

What?

What are you asking for?

Shall I get rid of the baby?

Yes, get rid of it

How do I get rid of it?

Tell your husband to go with you.

My husband?

Of course. Who goes but your husband?

Next one.

Let me have a look

I know something about these things.

Come with me

Look. The melon vine is broken

You can't keep the baby. Even if you want to

And the seeds are scattered around...

It will be fruitless.

Be careful with the baby!

The melon is smashed It's a bad sign.

Who can that be at this hour?

I'll get it.

Li-Ling! Anything wrong?

Didn't you get my message?

Yes, I did I called, but Huang answered

I just hung up the phone... What happened?

I'll tell you in detail...

Don't rush. Take your time.

I haven't been able to get you for days

I've been busy!

I've been feeling sick lately

I had a check-up this morning

Can we talk about this some other time?

Why? Are you busy now?

No... No...

But I have to go to the newspaper

I'm so scared

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Excuse me

I guess my suspicions have been confirmed.

Listen to me, Li-Ling

You listen... about the check-up...

It's not the right time to talk about it now

O K... 300 at the Cafe tomorrow

Mrs. Chen...

Tell my wife I'm expecting her here

Yes Sir.

Where have you been?

Mrs Chen said you've been out since noon.

I went to the flower-arranging class.

It didn't last this long.

Then I went to the temple

What did you ask the god?

To help your business

I prayed your co-venture with Yeh succeeds.

Did you ask anything else?

No.

What did the god answer you?

He drew a bamboo tree

as a symbol of promotion.

You know. Miss Ting, who was with me...

she was nothing but...

She was in your bed last night

Don't get upset

I don't have any right to be upset

I know you're serious about relationships.

Of course I'm serious! I wanted to talk

I waited to tell you... I'm pregnant

What are you planning to do about it?

What do you say?

Get rid of it.

You want to pretend it's your husband's?

It's yours I won't hide that.

You can't do it!

Remember... You promised.

We'll be back together some day, won't we?

Yes, but not right now.

I'm still young.

I have a long way to go

I'll go with you

I never think of things so far ahead.

I can wait for you.

We both took the wrong step.

I know I wasn't wrong

You want to keep the baby?

Whoever the father is. I'm still the mother

There's plenty of time to get rid of it

The god told me the same thing I want it!

I only came here to let you know my decision

Going out?

I haven't been to my parents for a while

R. Eally? I doubt it.

How many days will you be gone?

I'm not sure

Wait a minute...

You've been avoiding me since I got back.

Who's avoiding whom?

Ask yourself...

I need some time to think about it all

Li-Ling we can discuss everything openly.

It won't do us any good to go on this way.

You're having an affair with someone.

No.

Swear you're not lying to me!

I have another man's baby...

You're lying!

Who is he?

You should know by now.

Yeh Yuan. Right?

What are you going to do?

The affair's finished.

What do you want me to do?

I want to keep the baby.

Get rid of it.

Tell him to take you to an abortionist.

What are you doing?

I'm seeing Yeh and setting this with him

Business desk? Let me talk to Yeh Yuan.

Listen to this carefully word for word.

Hello. Yeh. This is Huang.

We have to have a meeting. Tonight.

Cheng! What are you looking at?

You shameless whore! Your husband just died!

You already have another man? So shameless!

Didn't you think about your kid?

Aren't you afraid of what they'll all say?

Shame on you! Shame on you!

Go to hell!

We'll settle all this when he gets here

Let me go!

Not that easily!

Come over here! Do as I say!

What are you doing here?

He knows all about us.

R. Ecognize this tie?

You dropped it in my bedroom! Here!

Don't be so upset, Huang.

I trusted you with my business affairs!

Take your hands off!

You took my wife!

You want to force me to take your kid!

I refuse to take it your way.

What do you want me to do?

I'll give you one choice...

Take her to get rid of the baby!

It's better if you get this matter settled

That way neither of us faces embarrassment

You want to save face? I'll expose you!

I take it you don't want our stock deal

Don't try to fool with me!

This is serious!

I just got the news

the case was approved this afternoon

The stock will be on the market next week.

It's critical timing now

If you lose this opportunity. Don't blame me!

Then what should I do? You tell me!

You take her for an abortion

I'll take care of the stocks.

It's my life, not yours!

Shut up! You have no right to say anything!

Li-Ling

Li-Ling!

Your wife is in danger now, Mr. Huang

I'm afraid she can't keep it

Can't keep what?

The baby It has to be removed immediately

Please sign this "permission to operate."

No you can't take me baby away!

No! No!

Be calm you'll be all right.

Everything went perfectly. Huang

Thank you

The guests are all asking about you.

Tell them I'm too tired to socialize

This party's to celebrate my company...

You should at least show up.

Come on out.

Mr. Huang

Li-Ling, how come you didn't let us know!

You went to the hospital so secretively

Mr. Huang said it was just a tumor...

They discovered it in time to get rid of it

Miss Ting...

One can't be careless about one's body...

Dr. Sun

Nice to meet you

He's a guest lecturer from the States

If you have any problems about business,

he's an expert.

Sure. I will

You seem to be associated with academics now

I quit my job.

I'm preparing to go to the U S. To study

Dr. Sun is helping me apply to UCLA

What about your operation?

Take your time Tell us in your own way.

I've fed all our production data

into the computer.

But we're running into technical problems

There shouldn't be any problems

let me come by your factory to help

Give me a call when it's convenient

Mrs. Chen... Time for dinner.
