The Home Song Stories Page #3

I don't have a long face!

Uncle Joe good man.

That's what you said about Uncle Bill.

Ai ya! Cheeky boy!

Uncle Bill not Chinese.

Your mother tries her best.

Not easy for her.

I think I want to be a dentist.

For your birthday.

You like?

Good.

I have to pay the electricity bill tomorrow.

We could go to movies tonight.

Celebrate.

I said I'd play mahjong with Bing.

You played mahjong two nights ago.

That's why I have to play tonight.

How much did you lose?

We can't afford for you

to lose at every night.

Why don't you want to stay with us?

You go out every night.

You all depend on me.

I have to work.

I pay the rent, I feed these children.

I'll ring Bing,

tell him that you can't make it.

Stay with us. Stay with me.

Please.

Stay!

Look Ma, I've finished my food.

Don't do that. Put that one there.

Where?

Here.

Can we leave now?

Do you want me to stay with you?

You take the children. I'll be back soon.

We'll wait for you.

No need.

It's your turn.

My luck has gone.

I can talk to Winnie.

She can help us.

I owe too much money.

Come on. She's our friend.

She'll lend us money.

If I take this job,

I'll pay my debts in three months.

If I stay here,

I won't save a cent.

But what about me?

What about my children?

How will they eat?

I'll send you money.

You won't come back!

You'll find someone else.

Why are you doing this to me?

You give me hope, then you take it away.

Don't talk like that.

You don't trust me?

I thought you were different,

you're just like the rest, you bastard!

Come back, come back...

Come back!....

Ma.

Ma, you forgot to turn off the bath!

Ma! Wake up!

Where are you going?

To the hospital. Come on.

I don't want to.

Don't be stupid, Tom, you have to.

I want you to stay.

We have to go.

Get in!

We've to go, love.

I'll ring you from the hospital.

Has she tried to do this before?

Always with pills?

Hey! Wake up.

Where have you been?

Go to bed.

Doctor say, sometime

your mother sick in head.

Do things she not mean to.

All I have now are you two.

You are my life.

Dede. Dede...

Dede, you love your mother.

Look after her.

Help her get strong.

Next time if I do something,

you tell me,

You're being a bad mother,

then I promise I wont do this again.

Never.

Ma, I got the best mark in

the class for my story.

Here, Ma, your favourite.

I spoke to Bing.

You can come back to the restaurant

to work.

Work day time this time with Winnie.

It's more easy.

Hurry up, Tom.

We're going to miss the bus.

One sec.

Come on.

Rock music, huh? You like?

It's alright.

Good music for young people.

I guess so.

You, me. We're young people.

Drive you to school, more easy for you.

Thank you, Uncle Joe.
