Dream Home (維多利亞壹號)

A 2007 survey listed the average monthly income in Hong Kong as HK$10, 100.

But 24% of people are below the average income.

Since the handover income in Hong Kong has increased by 1%.

But in 2007 alone, house prices shot up by 15%.

In an overcrowded Hong Kong a flat of 600 square feet costs over HK$7 million.

Flats with harbour views can reach up to HK$30, 000 (US$3, 200) per square foot.

In a crazy city..

If one is to survive,

one has got to be even crazier.

Good morning, Sir.

May I speak to Mr. Sid?

Yes, I'm calling from Jetway Bank.

Thank you for choosing our company's banking services for so long.

Since you have become a VIP customer,

I would like to present you with a reward plan...

Good afternoon, Sir.

Am I speaking to Mr. Ou Ka-ming?

Yes, how are you? I'm calling from Jetway Bank.

Thank you for choosing...

Actually it's a sort of back-up in you're account.

We won't charge you anything if you don't use a penny from it.

You only need to pay interest when you start using that money.

But the interest rate is rather low now,

only one dollar a day.

It means, it all depends on how long the loan is for.

For example, if the loan is eight days long, then...

Because you are our customer',

that's why we have your phone number...

Yes, sorry Mr So.

That I've bothered you.

We'll never call you again. I'm sorry.

If someone wants to borrow money

and someone wants to lend money.

Then no one loses.

If someone cant pass the TU credit report,

it means they can't pay off the debt.

Li's almost like we're driving people into a kind of hell...

If our clients cant pay the debt,

our bank will simply sell the debt to some loan-shark companies to sort it out.

It's the same story.

Let's just sell all these papers to Man's cousin.

As if we were saving his life.

Let me think about it.

It's a simple maths question.

What we got from our usual clients.

We only make HK$6,000 each, per one million loan.

Now every one of us makes $8,000.

No question at all.

Let's get a massage after work. We can talk about it then.

Yeah, sure.

No, I've got to work tonight.

You're going to exhaust yourself!

Cut it out, let's go.

This is the newly-arrived brand, Mata Hari.

The whole collection is on special offer.

This is the latest woven leather fashion from Italy.

Please try it.

Hi, I'm off, what about you?

Why don't we go get some dessert?

I'm not off yet.

Why don't you get some first and wait for me in the hotel room?

Alright.

Miss, hourly or overnight stay?

- Hourly. - This way.

Miss, Your surname?

Chan.

How much?

$380.00

Keep the change.

Thank you.

Could you keep this in the fridge for me?

I'll have it later.

Sure.

Remember to close the door.

Thanks.

I held it all the way in the taxi.

Didn't you say you'd be quick?

Those Korean guys are crazy.

They can drink for the whole night.

They drank 8 bottles of whisky tonight!

Only 6 of them.

It's like a competition.

Have some tea.

Thanks.

I got a joke.

A client, who just broke up with his girlfriend...

He's Korean.

You know Korean men...

Like to beat women.

He's been seeing her for two years.

They planned to get married.

Just a couple of days ago, the girl wanted to break up.

She said he didn't care about her enough.

The Korean guy asked her why.

She said, "If you do care about me,

"then why don't you beat me?

"You've never beaten me, not even once, in the last two years.

"I'm always out late, but you never beat me.

"I goto night clubs and flirt with other guys, and you still don't beat me!

"That means you don't love me at all. Let's call it off."

Hello?

Yes, I'm in a meeting.

No, I'm in the toilet.

Yes, I'll be back soon.

Tell our little girl to goto sleep.

That's it.

Excuse me.

What' the matter?

I want to know, the man who came for me last night,

what time did he leave?

That man? He left at about 2 am.

Thank you.

Miss.

You haven't paid yet.

I paid you last night.

Yes, but you only paid for the hourly rate.

But you stayed overnight and that man didn't pay anything.

Hello, cousin.

Here you go.

As usual, $6480 divided into 5, how much is that?

Cant you see that I am doing it already?

$6,480 divided by 5.

Means each share is $1,296.

Man takes two shares, we each take $1,296.

You two are just like Bonnie and Clyde.

Man takes two, meaning you two take three?

Mind your own business. This is our arrangement.

Hey Man, it costs quite a lot to keep a woman.

That's because I provide him with extra service at night.

Cut it out, no one wants to know.

Hey how about we go to Tokyo at Easter?

Last time I found a very cheap hotel in Kabukicho.

Only 7,000 yen per night.

Wow, Kabukicho? Nice.

Don't even think about it, or I'll cut your dick off!

Are you coming too?

No, I'm not. You guys have fun.

Come on, we earn money to spend money!

It'll only take a few days to spend all my savings.

No, I'm not going. I want to save up and buy a flat.

Where do you want to buy?

No. 1, Victoria Bay.

Come on, that one is so far away and expensive, why?

She's got a childhood obsession with that place.

Life is too short. I don't want to waste my life on a mortgage.

So, are we going or not?

Absolutely Let's go wild!

And you?

You guys enjoy it.

He's off to China to play golf with his boss at midnight.

And then he goes to his factory for meetings.

Then at night, he goes to Karaoke with his boss.

Doesn't his boss have a home to goto?

No one is that energetic!

What kind of golf game lasts for 4 days?

You know all men care about is the 19th hole.

They don't really care about the first 18.

They always say that golf courses are better in China.

But they're really there for the prostitutes.

Why didn't Emma's boss come back home?

My boss doesn't come home either.

One night I heard him whispering on the phone in the kitchen.

He must be keeping a mistress somewhere.

I don't care if he messes around with prostitutes.

I treat it as if he's exercising.

I'm more worried that he has a mistress.

Just like your husband.

You bitch.

Sorry sorry.

Well, what's going on between your husband and that woman?

He's earlier than usual.

I'm off now.

Hello.
