House of Spirits / 屋老友記 (2016)

Can I see?

No...No...

Be careful, Uncle Ho.

I got my watch back.

Ghost...Why do I ache all over?

I was on the rooftop last night. Why am I here? Was it a dream?

Why do I ache all over this morning.

Like I've been beaten up?

I hurt all over. What happened?

Is it that serious? Let me check for you.

Do you know how?

I've learned massage before. Trust me. Turn around.

Check for me then.

Let me see. Pull up your shirt. Where? Is it here?

Yes...

Is it here?

Yes...

Hey.

Uncle Foon, that's so embarrassing.

Come on. Fei-fei's here.

Eat your breakfast.

OK.

Can anyone tell me why I ache all over?

You're so bad. Yee is already weak. You're even worse.

I'm fine even though I carried you to your bedroom.

You carried me to my bedroom? Why?

Brother Foon, you really don't remember anything?

Remember what?

Last night I went to the rooftop. I saw you lying there spread-eagled.

I couldn't wake you.

So I asked Yue to help me carry you downstairs.

At last we carried you to your bedroom safely.

Really? How come I don't remember at all?

You finished an entire bottle of Maotai wine.

Of course you don't remember.

What? I drank Maotai wine?

There were a dozen empty bottles beside you. Who else drank it?

A ghost?

You're a grown up. But they had to carry you home.

You have no self control.

Bianca, be good.

Don't drink like Uncle Foon when you grow up.

If you drink, you'll sleep on the street. So embarrassing. Do you understand?

Yes.

Yan, it's not wrong that you want to teach your daughter.

But don't use me as an example. Fei-fei will get a wrong impression of me.

Oh no, time's up. Get changed. She'd better accept reality sooner. Go.

Who's at the door so early?

Uncle Ho, it's you again? What have you lost this time?

Hello, I'm his grandson. I want to talk to you guys.

I'm sorry. What happened last night was a misunderstanding.

We're neighbors. There's no point making a scene, right?

Of course it's a misunderstanding. I came here to apologize.

Apologize?

Yes. My grandpa suffers from early stage dementia.

I was on a trip yesterday.

When I came home at night, I saw him looking for something downstairs.

He said he had lost a pocket watch. So I knew something was wrong.

I'm sorry for giving you guys trouble.

I see. So the pocket watch doesn't belong to Uncle Ho.

He even made such a scene.

Grandpa, you should apologize to them.

I don't know them. Why should I apologize to them? Who are you?

This isn't early stage, right?

I'm sorry.

I'll find and return the pocket watch to you guys as soon as possible. I'm sorry.

The pocket watch...It fell onto the street.

Grandpa, let's go. Don't hold them up. I'm sorry.

You should keep an eye on him.

Keep an eye on him.

Be careful. Bye.

The pocket watch.

The truth has come out now. So Yee didn't steal. Fei-fei didn't lie.

I didn't lead them astray. Actually Uncle Ho suffers from dementia.

Right. He's so sick. They didn't keep an eye on him.

Don't you agree, Yee?

You don't need to explain. I know how you view me.

Hey, what's with that attitude?

He's so petty. Who does he take after?

We're related by blood.

You brought us up.

Mom, I can't put on the skirt.

OK. I'll help you in a second.

Why in a second.

You want to talk to Yee? Don't. He's so mad now.

If you talk to him now, you will make the matter worse.

Let me talk to him.

You?

Of course. I'll talk to him as a third party.

The conversation will be more peaceful.

I think I've never really talked to him. I hope I can break the ice this time.

Hey, get up and talk to me.

What's there to talk about.

Yan knows she accused you wrongfully for stealing the watch. She was wrong.

But you can't blame people for thinking of you this way.

You're never serious. You just lie there. You don't get a job.

How do you expect people to see you?

But nobody is perfect. Now Yan knows she was wrong about you.

She's your older sister. Just forgive her, OK?

Whatever.

Hey, you're either mad or you're not. There's no whatever.

Do you understand what I'm talking about?

You're the one who doesn't understand. Sis Yan has always been tike this.

I stole something when I was a kid.

She still thinks I'm a thief now.

Even if I become an outstanding young man someday,

she'd just say I've reformed myself, and I don't deserve the title.

You shouldn't be so negative.

Take you for example. You left us before.

So now she thinks you'll forever be a lousy older brother.

This will never change. Why try so hard then? Give it up.

But I won't forget that you backed me up last night.

What's the point thinking so much? It's all over now.

Anyway, listen to me. Don't be mad at your sister anymore, OK?

It's decided. I'll get out.

Why is it with me? So it wasn't a dream last night?

Uncle Foon, so you have my pocket watch?

Fei-fei is a good girl. Can you tell me how you got this watch?

OK. This man gave it to me.

You're a clever girl. Let me play another game with you.

How did that man give you the watch?

If you tell me everything, I'll treat you to fries, OK?

OK. Yesterday I wanted to go home to pee. I ran into that old man at the door.

Hello, uncle.

Hey, kid.

My name isn't kid. I'm called Mui Siu-fei.

Hey, Fei-fei, how come it's just you?

Uncle Foon is still taking photos downstairs.

Come on in. I need to take a bath. Close the door.

Uncle, you're coming to my home to play?

Yes. Let me show you a very interesting place, OK?

OK.

I've never been here before.

Fei-fei.

Hello.

Hello. You're a good girl.

Hey, your watch is really beautiful.

Really? Do you like it?

Yes.

Wah, why don't we give one to Fei-fei?

OK.

It's so beautiful.

After I left this room, I couldn’t see the old man and old woman anymore.

The storeroom?

Yes.

Don't tell anyone that you saw the old man and old woman, OK?

How come grown-ups have so many secrets?

Anyway, whoever tells will lose.

Bianca, have you put on your shoes yet?

Right on it.

Why are you two acting sneaky?

We're not. Right, Fei-fei?

Right.

Put on your shoes. Come on.

Chop-Chop.

How was your chat with Yee?

Everything will be fine when he's calmed down.

Hey Fei-fei, you don't put on your shoes like that.

You want to wear that pair?

Don't be scared. Jesus is here.

I'll kill all of you.

Why did Dad build a room like this?

This is Mr Bak and... It moves by itself?

Wow, when did you come in? How come I didn't know?

I don't make any sounds when I walk. Of course you wouldn't know.

Why did I come in? That's my question for you.

Don't come over.

Why are you blocking the door? Why are you sweating? Are you not well?

Ghosts!

Ghosts. . .Ghosts...

Watch out. Are you blind?

I'm sorry. I ran into a ghost.

You're calling me a ghost?

No, I really ran into a ghost. Sorry.

Watch out. What's wrong with you?

Sorry...Oh no, there are two ghosts in the house. How can I stay there?

Hello.

Hello, where are you?

Drinking sugarcane juice at Tang Kee. What's the matter?

Wait for me there. I'm on my way. Wait for me.

You look so pale. Are you possessed?

Shush...Keep your voice down.

I'm afraid those things may have followed me here.

What followed you here?

Ghosts.

Your dad's house may be old. But why would it be haunted?

I told you before that on the day I moved back in,

I suddenly saw two old people watching TV in the sitting room.

Those two people are really ghosts.

Calm down...Calm down.

They look like these two.

You mean those two old people look like them?

They are them. Ghosts...Wow.

Wow.

Be careful, sir.

You suddenly tapped me. You want to scare me to death?

You're a fellow fan. Of course I'm happy to meet you.

What do you mean?

Aren't you two fans of Bak Wah and Yi Lan?

But they've been gone a long time. They don't have fans anymore.
