you can pick somebody else.
Right. I pick Rita Hayworth,
but I'll settle for Betty Grable.
We don't have to hurt their feelings.
You can say I've got a
wooden arm and I didn't tell you.
Seriously, Mom.
All this is just an excuse for me
to come home and visit you.
My goodness!
What are you doing here?
Come, have a cup of tea.
Mr. Wang,
I don't believe you two have met.
Mr. Wang, meet my niece, Mei Oi.
"Mei Oi" in Chinese
is "beautiful love."
I keep telling you
he knows Chinese.
Hi there, Miss Lee!
I am very happy to meet you,
Mr. Wang.
Your English is swell.
Okay, that's enough.
We have to go.
I hope we will meet again.
You bet. Absolutely.
What are you doing an hour
from now? Or tonight?
You want to get married?
I do.
Don't get too excited.
We haven't compared
your horoscopes yet.
Trust me.
If you really love
the girl...
...you should consider taking her
with you to America.
When your father left,
I was here all by myself.
I've lived like a widow
for all these years.
The old way was no good,
believe me.
I guess I thought
you liked it this way.
In those days,
with the immigration laws...
...we didn't have a choice.
I wish I could give you
But I don't know anything about it.
When I kiss you...
...my darling...
...the whole world
belongs to us.
When you were on that plane,
I was fascinated...
...by the way the shadow followed it.
That silly shadow...
...racing along over mountains
and valleys, covering 10 times...
Mrs. Wang,
their horoscopes match perfectly.
Now we have to pick a date.
I knew this was the girl
for you.
That's wonderful.
They are a perfect match.
Pick out a date for them
as soon as possible.
Make sure you pick out
a lucky date for them.
Once they are married,
you will enjoy a more peaceful life.
In that case, you'll have to drink
more at the wedding banquet.
Sure.
Those bells you hear...
...are the bells of love.
Those doves you see...
...are the messengers of romance.
- He will return.
- Oh, no!
Do you know my father?
Yeah, I know him.
I have never met my father.
He left before I was born.
I want to see him very much.
I want to see America very much.
What about me?
I mean...
...how do you feel about me?
Honored mother,
the bride and groom.
They're here to pay
their respects.
First they honor
heaven and earth...
...then they honor
the ancestors...
...then they honor each other.
Son, you're a grown man.
Time to start a family.
And, daughter-in-law,
bless us all with children.
I'm so excited.
Papa.
Sweetie.
Mei Oi, you know...
...you look like your mama.
Papa...
