Lust, Caution Page #2

When I was young some relatives of mine

moved over to Hong Kong when the war started.

Really?

These foreigners, they can only redeem this much a day.

They can only get hard bread to eat.

Do you need me to fetch you later?

No, I can call a cab.

Coffee, please.

Sure.

May I use your phone?

Of course.

Strange, did I call the wrong number?

Hello.

Second brother, it's me.

Yes?

I'm at the Keseling cafe now.

Is everything alright at home?

Yes.

I'm good, just too busy recently

to call back home.

I'm going to go shopping today.

I have a date, I'm going now.

Ok.

Well, then, there's nothing else.

I know, it'll be ok.

I'm going, goodbye.

We're moving out now.

If you guys win we'll marry you!

I didn't say I'd be the one marrying them.

The men have all gone to war.

Who's going to marry this truckload of girls?

I'm not going to, you marry him then!

I heard from teacher that Guangzhou has been lost.

Will it be safe in Hong Kong?

I never thought that we'd have to rely on the Brits to protect us.

Isn't your Dad in Britain?

Why didn't he bring you with him?

He took my younger brother.

When my Mum died he said he'd take me.

But two years later, war broke out.

I'm not going back again.

War gave me the chance to go to Hong Kong.

I want to go overseas and see the world outside.

See you by the pond after class tonight.

Let's go back to our apartment together.

Ok.

Hey, Lai Shu Jin!

I was just looking for you.

Kuang Yumin, you still remember me?

Yes, I saw you acting.

Lingnan University's Women's Drama Society.

We've set up a new drama society.

We're auditioning for members today.

But the women's drama society has never

collaborated with males.

Since we're borrowing Hong Kong University's premises for classes

and we have a lack of manpower, we should work together.

We can do Ibsen's "A Doll House"!

I know Nora's lines at the back of my hand.

At this kind of time who has the mood

to see this kind of bourgeoise show?

We're intending to stage a patriotic play

to raise funds for the war.

You should come for the audition tomorrow too.

But I'm only a freshman, I've never acted before.

It doesn't matter.

Everyone should play their part for the resistance movement.

While the soldiers are fighting on the frontlines,

the Hong Kongers are relaxing.

We need to awaken them from their complacency.

What a typical director, he doesn't listen to anyone.

But since it's the resistance,

we girls can't lose out to the guys.

I just can't stand the thought of following his beck and call.

He's quite passionate isn't he?

Not long after his brother graduated from the military academy,

he got killed in the war.

So his family wouldn't let him join the army.
