In the Mood for Love Page #4

Just calling Mrs. Koo to the phone.

You're late back.

I went to the pictures.

I'll be going.

Hello?

Yes, please hold on.

- Who is it?

- It's for Mrs. Chan.

It must seem odd to ask you out,

but I want to ask something.

That handbag I saw you with

this evening...

Where did you buy it?

Why do you ask?

It looked so elegant.

I want to get one for my wife.

Mr. Chow, you're so good

to your wife!

Not really! My wife is so fussy.

Her birthday is some days away.

I don't know what to get her.

Could you buy one

for me to give her?

Maybe she wouldn't want one

just exactly the same.

You're right, I didn't think of that.

A woman would mind.

Yes, especially since

we're neighbors.

Do they come in other colors?

I'd have to ask my husband.

Why?

He bought it for me

on a business trip abroad.

They aren't on sale here.

Then never mind.

Actually...

I want to ask you something too.

What?

Where did you buy your tie?

I don't know where it came from.

My wife buys all my ties.

Really?

She bought this one

on a business trip abroad.

It's not on sale here.

What a coincidence!

Yes.

Actually...

my husband has one just like it.

He said it was a gift from his boss.

So he wears it every day.

And my wife has a bag

just like yours.

I know,

I've seen it.

What are you getting at, actually?

I thought I was the only one

who knew.

I wonder how it began.

It's late.

Won't your wife complain?

She's used to it. She doesn't care.

And your husband?

He must be asleep by now.

Shall we stay out tonight?

My husband would never say that.

What would he say?

Anyhow, he wouldn't say that.

Someone must have made

the first move.

Who else could it be?

It's late.

Won't your wife complain?

She's used to it. She doesn't care.

And your husband?

He must be asleep by now.

I can't say it.

I understand.

After all, it's already happened.

It doesn't matter

who made the first move.

Do you really know your wife?

You order for me.

Why?

I've no idea what your wife likes.

What about your husband?

Like it hot?

Your wife likes hot dishes.

Why did you call me

at the office today?

I had nothing to do.

I wanted to hear your voice.

You have my husband down pat.

He's a real sweet-talker.

Why didn't you call me today?

I was afraid you won't like it.

Then don't call me again.

Mrs. Chan!

A letter from your husband.

It's not for me,

it's for Mr. Chow next door.

The Japanese stamp made me think

it was your husband.

So I was wrong.

Your wife's in Japan?

How did you know?

What did she say in her letter?

Nothing special.

Anything about

when she'd be back?

No.

What do you think

they're doing right now?

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine.
