A Simple Life Page #3
...I wouldn't recover from a fall
So, tell me about...
This place?
Well, six or seven years ago...
...my girlfriend...
She sort of suggested...
...investing in old people's homes
So I decided to give it a go
It's seriously profitable
We've made a bundle
You know, Hong Kong's population is ageing
Demand is high, so we've opened more branches
Both sides of the harbour
Before you know it...
...we'll outnumber convenience stores!
Just tell me which area you need
It should be around here, I think
Right, once you're used to a place...
...it's hard to die anywhere else
You and I are about the same age
It's not for you, is it? Are you okay?
No, not for me
Your mother?
No, it's for our maid
She's worked for us for 60 years
How old is she?
More than 70
You're so kind-hearted
Looking after your maid
It's touching to see
And meritorious!
Let's see...I can...
...give you a 20% discount
No charge for air-con or heating
And lower charges for escort service
We'll do all we can...
...to make her stay here pleasant
To be frank, she might well die here
Is that too blunt?
Hard to believe...
...she's been with us for 60 years
Are we there?
- Yes
- This is it?
Ms Chung Chun-Tao!
My name is Choi, I'm the supervisor, welcome!
Watch your step
It's alright, I can manage
Take it slowly
Watch your step
Take care...
Slowly...
This is where you'll be living
Sit down
Sit over there
This way...
Would you like a wheelchair?
No...
You're doing well!
We don't have many single rooms
This is the comfiest one
Sit down
Slowly
Don't stare at me
Unpack all your belongings
We'll put nametags on everything
Including your clothes, shoes and socks
That way, your things won't get lost
These are the nametags
If you have any valuables...
...take good care of them
Or you can ask us to keep them for you
But if anything gets lost...
...we're not responsible
I don't have...
That's good
Then just unpack everything
If you need help, press that buzzer
Need any help?
No
I wish everyone was like you
Take a rest first
Dinner time!
Dinner time
Open your mouth, Ma'am
Open your mouth
Swallow, Uncle
Eat up
What's the matter with you?
What the hell?
Don't you know how to eat?
Look at you! Sloppy pig...
Headmaster, let go!
What are you doing?
Look at him!
"He who hears no counsel is a scoundrel!"
You're so messy, are you crazy?
I'm giving this to you
You're new here?
I saw you come in
None of your family was with you, right?
They're all in America
These aren't my false teeth!
Who took mine?
How can I eat?
Here, these are yours
Idiot!
What should I call you?
My name is Chung Chun-Tao
