Hey! You Chinese locust. Stop jumping the queue
Get off you bastard
Lockhart Road, please
Tell me where to get off.
Not the name of a long street
I'm not in the mood
Hong Kong is a playground for the rich
For them the sun's never set.
In the dark only the poor get upset
Don't I speak good English?
I did well in my GCE. A few F's and an E
Now end up driving taxi
"I don't wanna shut down"
"I wanna open up my heart"
"Gotta fight through this darkness"
"Before the silence tears us apart"
"Free me from these chains"
"Nailed through my feet to the ground"
"Gotta fight through this darkness"
"I don't want to shut down"
Shut down?
This city's gonna shut down soon
People get nostalgic
You've been moaning all the night
You need a priest to talk to?
Rent is to increase by double.
We'll have to shut down
This pub saw through the hand-over
Boss, ask the owner for some bargain
The owner said:
Shut up, pay up,
or close down. F***!
Down with property tycoons!
Give us democracy!
The road is sealed off. Can't get there
I'll drop you nearby. You can walk across
Not again. I hate demonstrations
What a waste of time
Is this your boyfriend? What a lucky guy
he's a journalist. He's handsome
Press freedom is now the last bottom-line
He's got a US passport. Congratulations
If things turn sour,
there's always a warship for rescue
When will you divorce your American wife?
Oh please
I'm walking over
You're so quiet,
you look like a wise man.
Tell me how to earn a billion, will you?
A billion?
Life is just a long continuous chain of belches
God bless
I'm terribly sorry
I like your dress. It looks slutty
20 minutes late
Has Julie arrived?
She's worse than you
- Any drink, miss?
- Soda please
In school, she was always the queen
all guys falling at her feet
Does she think that's a carte blanche?
How can you still put up with this?
I know what she's like. Relax
Less moaning keeps a woman young
Going mad means earlier menopause
Sorry. I'm late
It's OK. We know you're so busy
Get a drink
I know your choice, dry martini
Oh yes. We're good friends
Get me a DM
DM?
DM means Dry Martini
Not Dumb Man
OK, DM
Your husband, Ben, is in elections.
You must have a full schedule.
We go separate ways
Ben's been howling around, leaving me alone
Today he asked me out, which came as a surprise
But ended up campaigning with him
Such hot weather!
I'm a bad time-keeper
It's OK
It will soon be over
After he wins,
he'll be a faithful husband.
Politicians are too scared to mess around
Make sure we're invited to your celebration party
It's been more than 20 years
Thanks to Facebook
Cheers
You two look the same as before
Well...
You've been abroad for years
Now you talk like a classy Brit
I can't help it
All these years, I graduated from Cambridge
Mixing up with too many Brits, I forgot my Chinese
How lucky to have gone to Cambridge!
I did a local degree in Chinese.
I'm now a college tutor
You two are doing great
I left school and went straight to a hair salon
My grand-pa's been admitted to
an elderly home named Cambridge
I earn my living
by feeling ladies' hair
You seem to be doing well, man
ls education a must?
Be it Maggie Cheung, or Maggie Q,
I make all women look younger and cute
But you are the best of us
Now you work for Citibank
In charge of Far East,
you must have a good time
With a hot western girlfriend!
We've seen her pic on Facebook
Look. She looks hot
Finished. Just broken up
It happened this morning
Just broken? Doesn't matter
Chinese girls have better skin. Cheers
Ka-lok, you look a bit miserable
My mom's just got cancer
I've been looking for my dad these years
How long are you in Hong Kong for?
No idea. I'm now Managing Director
May be Shanghai next stop
Girls are easier to pick up there
Easy? They are all the same: London
Shanghai, or Hong Kong
Hey, look over there!
That one seems interested in you
How do you know she's into me?
Can't it be me?
Summer camp is not just for games
We've seen the tanks out in the square.
We're sad and distressed
Work hard
for a better China
Now it's time for more vocab
Does anyone know what this place is?
I know. Niagara Falls
Well done, Adam
It was discovered
by a French explorer some 200 years ago
Shing, what's the word for this huge ditch?
It's nothing but some roaring waters
There's no gold there. Is it worth an adventure?
There is so much beauty in life
so intangible
only to be felt by one's heart
Adam, what will you do when grown up?
I'll seek to change the world
How can you do that? I'd earn a lot of money
Money is what most people want
But we all need love
Your parents love you
And friendship
And love between man and woman
Is it true that we will find what we want
only if we work hard,
like that French traveller?
Yes, if you have a strong will
Ka-lok, you don't look convinced
Don't tease him. He's no idea who his dad is
I don't want to go to England on my own
They'll convert me into an Englishman
Ka-lok, and Shing, what are your plans?
What plans?
We're not well-off enough to go to the West
Dad said we wait for the commies to come
Will you come back to see us?
I won't forget you. I'll be back
That's a promise. Sure
Hey, look over there!
