The White Silk Dress Page #2

00:
10:12,111 -- 00:10:15,111

I don't know

where my ancestors came from

76

00:
10:17,650 -- 00:10:20,650

or who my parents are.

77

00:
10:21,454 -- 00:10:24,454

For as long as I can remember,

I've been a buffalo boy

78

00:
10:24,454 -- 00:10:27,624

and then a servant for Mr. Governor.

79

00:
10:29,395 -- 00:10:32,395

But I've kept this white silk dress

for the past twenty years.

80

00:
10:34,500 -- 00:10:37,500

It's the most precious thing I own.

81

00:
10:41,474 -- 00:10:44,474

If you truly love me,

82

00:
10:45,378 -- 00:10:48,378

then please accept

this as my wedding gift to you.

83

00:
10:54,487 -- 00:10:56,588

Please put the dress on, pray to Buddha

84

00:
10:56,588 -- 00:10:59,589

and consider us engaged.

85

00:
12:13,399 -- 00:12:16,399

What do you pray to Buddha for?

86

00:
12:18,270 -- 00:12:21,270

What do you wish for?

87

00:
12:21,540 -- 00:12:24,540

I wish for only one thing,

but I may never get it.

88

00:
12:31,117 -- 00:12:34,117

That is to marry you.

89

00:
12:38,624 -- 00:12:41,624

We love each other.

And I am already yours.

90

00:
12:43,162 -- 00:12:46,162

Why does it matter if we,re married?

91

00:
12:47,399 -- 00:12:50,399

Happiness is marrying the one you love.

92

00:
12:51,771 -- 00:12:54,771

It's better than having

herds of cows and buffaloes.

93

00:
13:23,202 -- 00:13:26,202

Darling, I don't need a big tray

of betel nuts covered with red silk.

94

00:
13:27,373 -- 00:13:30,373

But if you still want to marry me,

95

00:
13:31,177 -- 00:13:34,177

then take this betel

nut home and plant it.

96

00:
13:34,177 -- 00:13:37,246

When it bears fruits,

we'll have our wedding.

97

00:
13:39,518 -- 00:13:42,518

What if... it doesn't bear fruits?

98

00:
13:44,423 -- 00:13:47,423

If you truly love me,

then it surely will.

99

00:
13:55,835 -- 00:13:58,835

Please play a tune for me.

100

00:
16:04,029 -- 00:16:05,496

If you are not a Viet Minh,

101

00:
16:05,496 -- 00:16:08,497

then why did you steal my rice?

102

00:
16:08,834 -- 00:16:11,636

Only a Viet Minh would dare do that.

103

00:
16:11,636 -- 00:16:14,637

How many times have you

stolen from me before?

104

00:
16:14,637 -- 00:16:17,141

You stole my rice to feed the Viet Minh

105

00:
16:17,141 -- 00:16:19,410

to rebel against me, didn't you?

Speak up!

106

00:
16:19,410 -- 00:16:22,411

Please Sir and Madame I'm innocent...

107

00:
16:22,411 -- 00:16:23,948

a thousand kowtows to you.

108

00:
16:23,948 -- 00:16:26,949

I'm not a Viet Minh.

109

00:
16:30,289 -- 00:16:32,357

You are heaven's light,

seeing far and wide.

110

00:
16:32,357 -- 00:16:35,093

Sir and Madame...

111

00:
16:35,093 -- 00:16:38,094

...it was not him.
