The Wedding Banquet Page #4

unless we fought or he's in a mood bad.

No junk food either.

Unless you've been fighting

or he's in bad mood.

On his right side?

The birthmark is on his right side,

the mole is on his left side.

Do the questions really get this personal?

- Yes, they do, and if you don't pass...

- I'll pass.

Let's see, today's Friday.

You're wearing blue Jockey shorts.

Hello.

Ma? Hello, how are you?

How's Pa?

You got my letter?

Like I've told you,

I've been dating Wei Wei for two years.

She's from the mainland,

and we've decided to settle down together.

I didn't tell you because I was afraid

you wouldn't approve.

What! You're coming here? The 15th?

To arrange the wedding?

No. Of course I want you to do it.

It's only once in a lifetime...

but with Pa's health,

he shouldn't make such a long trip.

What if...

Don't say that.

Of course you'll see your grandchild.

I won't disappoint you.

I was just concerned.

Ma, talk to him.

Tell him not to be so sensitive.

Okay, I'll call tomorrow.

Bye.

Did you understand any of that?

Unfortunately, I think so.

This was your big idea.

How long are they coming for?

Just a short visit. Two weeks!

Good night.

God, I'm so nervous.

Relax. The in-laws want to meet

even an ugly bride.

How about an ugly son-in-law?

Here they come.

Wai Tung! I missed you so much!

- Are you tired?

- Slept all the way.

I'm not as lucky.

But I feel better now that I see you.

- Pa, you're so thin!

- You look good.

Where's Wei Wei?

Over there.

Pleased to meet you.

You're prettier in person. You cut your hair?

Short hair is nicer.

Thanks for caring for our son.

He takes care of me.

We're blocking traffic. Let's leave.

Allow me.

Where did you find such a beauty?

I placed an ad for an apartment

two years ago.

Twenty people answered.

Wei Wei was one of them.

Good. My investment paid off.

What do you think?

She'll make lots of babies.

How long are you here?

Over three years. Never been back.

And your family?

I have my mom, dad,

and a kid brother in school.

What do they do?

Her Pa works at a hospital

and her mom teaches art.

Good.

It's traditional that we bring

the Gift of Four Colors...

to formally propose to your parents.

My parents are happy.

They've seen pictures of Wai Tung...

and I talk about him all the time,

and they like him...

but it's impossible for them

to come here from the mainland.

Too bad.

Hi.

This is Simon, my roommate and landlord.

It is pleasure, Mr. And Mrs. Gao.

Welcome, my home.

You speak Chinese!

Thank you for caring for our son

and letting us stay here.

- Pa, he doesn't understand.

- No?

A little.

Tell him his home is beautiful.

Shall we help you up to your room?
