Jeff Sin? I know you

Please, just call me Jeff

I had to make some changes,

so I took out your role...

What did I do to you?

Do you think this is musical chairs?

You think you can control us like puppets

because you're rich?

Please leave us, Judy

Sit down, Miss Chu

Fine

Aren't extras people, too?

You can't just kill an actors' dream

because you have the power to!

Do you think that you

represent the film industry? All of society?

All of Hong Kong?

Everyone in Hong Kong likes me.

Just ask around

I have a Facebook page.

Do you know how many likes it has?

...Yes, it only has about 20,

but at least people like me!

Do you know how important extras are?

We put our all into every line we have,

every chance we get

Do you know?

We lack a new generation of talent.

Did you ever give us a chance?

A film uses an average of 20 background actors

When Hong Kong made 300 films a year,

we needed 6,000 extras

Do you know what that means?

That's 6,000 chances!

Now, there are only 40, 50 films a year.

How many chances did we lose?

You fire people on a whim.

Did you think of our feelings?

People like you are killing Hong Kong cinema

Haha... Miss Ki Chu, are you done?

I'm done

Please sit down

You may have failed as an extra

How about a lead role?

But it comes with a condition

Do you have a reservation, sir?

Why? There are empty tables all over

We require a reservation.

It's how we know that you're meant to be here

Meant to be here?

Hi, table for two under Chu

Please follow me

Why are you dressed like that?

Shush!

Why are you dressed like that?

Shush!

You're the loud one. What's going on?

Is today an anniversary? Why the expensive meal?

This meal is on me. Don't worry

It's on you? Did you win the lottery

or lose your sanity?

Neither

Today... my boss offered me a lead role!

Isn't that better than winning the lottery?

Shouldn't we celebrate?

That sounds too good to be true

Did you have to do anything?

You can't have

Why would you sell yourself for a lead role?

Do you remember that you're married?

Now you think I'm the invisible one?

Shh! It's not what you think

The company just forbids me

from dating. No rumors, either

That's it?

That's easy

No dating and no scandals...

That's fine with me

But you have to help me

I told you, it's fine

I'll dress nicer. No more slob!

Do you get what I'm saying?

If they won't let me date,

why would they let me get married?

That's why you have to help me

You have to help

Are you ready to order?

We're not hungry.

Just get us two glasses of water

One normal, one with the star

What's the water with the star?

You know, the French one with

carbonation! With an S
