A bit too dreary to stand

Give a ring to the queen

of Chinatown

[song continues playing faintly]

[all speaking native language]

Hey, your office

is very small.

Well, it certainly feels

cramped now.

Do you guys always

travel in a group?

Oh, my fans are more women.

They're very important.

I need women tell me

what to think.

Mm, okay.

Hmm, here, try this on,

please, all right?

The titling rooms are outside.

Wear this?

Yeah, I'm only interested in

the concept, okay?

And if it works out,

we can specially design a pair

for you made with real silk.

I want to look

strong and manly.

And if we get them tailored,

you will look strong and manly.

He look like he's in bed.

[laughter]

Or "Come to bed with me

because I'm hot."

- Hot?

- Yeah, sexy.

All right, look, Asian men

are rarely seen as sex symbols

in this country, okay?

So we're trying something new

and refreshing here.

[speaking native language]

What's he saying?

Don't listen to him.

Look, just try it on.

It's not gonna kill you.

[women speaking native language]

Urn, too tight?

Yes, too small.

Well, at least try

the pants on. Here.

I-- I ask my girlfriend.

What, your girlfriend?

Why?

- I want her say.

- No, no, keep it on.

Let me just take a picture.

[speaking native language]

Where are you going?

You guys coming back?

[club music thumping]

Shouldn't you be asleep?

Your baby can't live

off caffeine.

What the tuck did you do

this time?

Ryan:
What?

Ning dropped us.

That f***ing homophobe.

I don't f***ing care

what he is.

I told you before you have

to please your clients.

He's going to be interviewed

by "Culture Chic" next week.

"Culture Chic?"

Francesca:
Yes, "Culture

f***ing Chic," Ryan.

Look, just calm down, okay,

Francesca? I'll talk to him.

I don't care what you do.

Just f***ing fix it.

Hi, urn, 1602?

[speaks native language]

Hey, Ning, it's Ryan.

Can we please talk?

Ning:
We don't match.

How many stylists

do you intend to go through?

Ning:
We don't match.

Look, there are only

a handful of Chinese stylists

in New York, so--

Wh-James, he said

he can find another one.

Well, yeah, a lousy one.

I mean, all the good ones are

booked up well in advance, okay?

So can I just please come up?

[sighs] Um, so, uh,

you don't want

to wear the pajamas?

No.

We can try something else.

But it has nothing to do

with that, has it?

Is it because I'm gay?

No.

Well, let me tell you

something, okay?

All the good stylists are gay.

All right, listen, urn,

you have a interview next week,

so let's just please

try and work together.

We are fire and water.

We do not mix.

Fine.

Unless--

Unless what?

Unless you don't show
