I'm warning you!

Don't do this again!

Fine...

Let's go home, Maria.

This is a peculiar moment,

like a coin

dropping on the ground,

but strangely standing just on its edge.

We don't want to spoil it,

just carefully maintain

the fragile balance.

Wow, Mrs. Tong is really something!

That maid is so scared that

she left her luggage behind.

Maria, I wanna hear some music.

Are you Mrs. Tong's twin sister?

Are you human?

Thanks, could you pretend

that you haven't seen me?

Mom... I'm back.

Oscar.

Ghost....

Did Mrs. Chan give us the dog?

Yes, sir. Thank you, Mrs. Chan.

Sir, have this and take an early rest.

Mom.

We've scared others,

we've got to move.

God bless me...

It's sis.

Melody, how come Oscar became a dog?

Mom, Oscar wants it this way.

The only way we could be

with Dad is to do sneakily.

We'll all live at the cemetery

from now on.

Mom, I go to work.

What work do you do?

I'm now M'am Meng's protg

in the underworld.

Work hard! I will.

What does M'am Meng's protg do?

I bring these dead friends to reincarnate.

You're great, Melody!

Let's get working.

Dad has gotten up.

Maria.

Maria.

Yes, sir.

When was the last time

you cleaned the floor?

Sorry, sir, I'll do it now.

How come I can't hear

any cable car this morning?

Maria.

Let's walk the dog.

Yes, sir.

Hold tight, my dead friends,

you'll soon start your

new reincarnated lives.

Hold tight, my dead friends,

you'll soon start your

new reincarnated lives.

(Dad is imitating Melody driving)

(the Underworld Express to...)

I finally heard Mom's laugh.

So writing novels can really help

the healing process.

She is putting flowers at home

for the first time since Dad's death.

Writing novels makes me happy.

I feel close to my wife and children.

I can smell the flowers in my home.

It smells so good.

Where should I put them, Melody?

On the tea table. Tea table.

On the piano.

On the piano.

Window.

Television, dining room.

Stove.

Table.

By the window.

By the bookcase.

Though we're only reunited inside a novel,

I'm happy with that.

No, not enough. Oscar,

we'll go and get more.

Good.

Not enough...

I need more scents, and colors, capiche?

Ok... I'm leaving, sir.

Let's go.

Somebody hurt!

Forget the keys again.

Who is it?

We're the police.

Are Mandy Ching and Oscar Tong

living here?

And they are your...

Mother and brother.

Anyone else at home?

Your mother

and brother were killed in

an accident on Flower Street

Forget the keys again.

Who is it?

We're the police.

Does Mandia, Maria V

live here?

Yes. And you are...

Filipino maid.

What happened?

she had an accident on Flower Street.

She was dead on the scene.

What accident?
