Lei Lei!

Grandpa!

I want some grapes, Grandpa.

Is your cough better?

The grapes are so expensive today.

They're not that expensive.

You're still coughing.

No, I'm not. I'm really better now.

If you say so.

Thanks!

Grandpa, I got 80% on my test today!

That's great!

Let's aim for 90% next time!

Grandma!

I've made some pear soup for you.

Remember to drink it before you go.

Grapes? Lei Lei's still coughing.

Just a few won't matter.

They are bad for her cough.

I thought she was better already.

Where's Fong?

She said Zheng's running late.

They're that busy?

Hey, Dad.

Thanks so much. Good thing you were available.

Sorry, I couldn't pick Lei Lei up myself.

It's fine.

If you retire, you can pick Lei Lei up every day.

Retire?

Forget it, what will I do all day?

I should keep working while I still can.

Hi, Ma.

Dinner's ready. Call your sister and see where she is.

Fong, where are you?

Can you hurry up?!

She's not here yet?

They're just downstairs.

Let's wait for them then.

The food will get cold.

Then let Lei Lei start. We'll wait.

Lei Lei, eat up.

Here they are.

Hi, everyone.

Hi, Auntie Fong...

You must've taken the old tunnel.

The traffic is terrible there.

We thought a motorcycle would be faster. Sorry!

Let's eat, everyone...

Here, Lok.

The chicken looks delicious, Ma!

Cousin Jessica left me a message yesterday.

She said Uncle's out of the hospital. Did you know that?

I haven't heard a thing.

Oh, really...

I'm glad he's fine. Come on, let's eat.

How's it going?

I'm good.

You come here often?

No, I just happened to be in the area...

I'm Hoi.

You want to go in there?

Why don't we... be friends first?

Perhaps another time...

Hey, should I throw this old shirt out?

It's all worn out.

It looks fine to me.

The edges are all fraying.

Do whatever you want.

You never care about anything...

You need to have a word with Fong.

Tell her that Zheng is not right for her.

Why?

He's younger than her.

No one cares about that in this day and age.

Women age much quicker.

She's almost 40.

Men won't find her attractive anymore.

What a coincidence.

Indeed it is.

You're not working today?

I'm retired. I even got my Senior Citizen Card last year.

My granddaughter's school is nearby.

That's why I hang out around here.

Oh, you have a granddaughter?

Yeah. Why?

Nothing.

How about you?

What about me?

You look like a married man.

How long have you been married?

I've been divorced for a long time.

How come?

I was a terrible husband!

I used to work in a camera factory.

The boss organized picnics for the workers and their families.

I wouldn't tell her about them

because I'd rather go by myself.

Then someone told her about it.

She got so upset and went back to her parents.

I knew that she wanted me to bring her home.

But I stayed away.

She reluctantly made her way home eventually.

You live with your son?

Yeah. After the divorce,

I raised him on my own.

Your ex didn't want him?

She wanted to remarry.

Get in.

You're a cab driver?

Yeah. I'll give you a ride home.

Sure, but you have to put the meter on.

I don't charge my friends.

You should sit in the back.

I need to buy something.

Where are you going?

Hey,

do you mind not contacting me at night?

Sorry, I'll never bother you again.

That's not what I meant.

You can call during the day.

Hi, Father!

We're home!

I can't talk now. My son's home.

I'll call another time.

Everyone was asking about you tonight, Father.

I don't need to show up at every fellowship meeting.

Tonight was Bible Study, not a fellowship meeting.

Grace, go take a shower.

I've told you many times...

Don't say things like that in front of Grace.

Grace.

Grace, I bought you coconut pudding.

Sit right here.

Did you wash your hands, Father?

They're clean.

You just threw out the trash.

Grace. Shower. Right now.

She's just a kid. Let her have some.

I told you, kids shouldn't have sugary food at night.

She'll have trouble sleeping.

I raised you the same way

and you turned out just fine.

Hey.

You shouldn't eat that either.

Welcome.

What do you want?

The Yuenyeung here is very good.

You can taste both the coffee and the tea.

How about French toast?

The syrup here isn't diluted and it's not too sweet.

The coconut pudding is famous here too.

I'll have whatever.

What would you like?

Two Yuenyeungs, please.

Do you prefer to go somewhere quieter?

There's a spot right there. Park there.

I don't want to park on the street.

The parking garages around here are expensive.

It's fine, I don't mind.

Two, please.

This way.

You've never been here before?

I drove 18 hours a day for the past 20 years.

I only found time for myself after my kids moved out.

That's when I started cruising.

You've really been missing out...

Have you ever been to Yuk Tak Chee, the famous old gay bathouse?

Of course I have.

I remember that I had no idea what to do the first time I went.

I sat in the TV room and just waited and waited.

All I saw were people just going in and out

...and in and out...

I didn't have a clue what was going on.

After a while I just decided to leave.

I told a friend later on, and he laughed at me.

He said I should have waited until 1 am,

when they closed up.

That's when the real party began.

Half a roast duck, please.

50 dollars.

- Ma. - You know I don't drink.

Just a little sip, Ma.

Have some, it's a celebration.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.

I'll take good care of Fong.

Come on, cheers.

There's something else I would like to mention.

As you know, I'm still struggling financially.

I was thinking that we could just keep things simple.

So we may not even have the banquet.

I hope you understand...

It's fine. Let's eat.

Thank you.

He said he can't afford a wedding banquet.
