A Simple Life Page #2

So you'll have someone to talk to

What time is it in San Francisco?

Afternoon

Call your mother for me

Why?

Tell her I'm retiring

Retiring

Why?

I want to live in an old people's home

Are those places expensive?

You'd like to live in one?

Yes, how much will it cost?

Don't worry, I can pay for you

No...

I have money, I can pay

I have money

HK$5,000 for a single room

HK$4,000 for a shared room

HK$3,500 for three-to-five sharing

If her total assets are less than HK$30,000...

...we can apply for social security for her

But we don't pay commission for that

Commission?

Don't you know about that?

There are so many scams out there

In some homes...

...they do the paperwork for you...

...to claim social security payments

And they pay you HK$500 per month

But it's just a scam

The money they give you...

...is charged back on their bills

We're not like that

We run a straight business here

Everything's out in the open

Can I see a typical monthly statement?

HK$580 per month for diapers?

That charge depends on the brand used

Also on the quantity

That one is water-tight

More expensive

That old man often needs to change his

What is "escort charge"?

- Escort charge?

- Yes

The escort accompanies the old person

To medical check-ups, physical therapy...

To massage, acupuncture and so on

The charge depends on who the escort is

For illegal South Asian immigrants, it's HK$150

For Mainland Chinese, it's HK$200

For holders of HK ID cards, it's HK$250

The most expensive ones are mixed-race Chinese

They're HK$300

That's just a fact of Hong Kong life

It's an advantage to have a foreigner with you

Your charging structure...

...is quite complicated!

Is that all?

No...I want to know...

...if you have registered nurses,

health workers...

...pharmacists, dietitians...

...occupational therapists, physiotherapists...

Okay, okay...

I'll ask my superior to explain to you

He wants to know everything!

The guy's trying to make trouble

This is my boss

"Grasshopper"?

"God of Wealth"?

Let's chat over there

Long time no see!

Right, long time no see

How ya doing?

That auntie...

She's your girlfriend?

Sorry...

You can't tell at first glance...

But her cleavage is really something

Those young chicks have nothing on her

How about you?

- How about you?

- You're a big shot now

What are you working on?

Nothing much...

Well...Three Kingdoms

- Another version? There've been so many

- Right

Right, another one every few years

Got a part for me in it?

You must be kidding, it's an action movie!

I could have a go, couldn't I?

It's hard work

How so?

What if you got hurt?

No insurance, no pension...

That's true, at my age...
