And I Hate You So (小親親)

You can't just cut off my power!

How much do I owe? Only $700!

How long will it take? You're joking!

"Bad luck" by Luna Ng

What bad luck. My power got cut!

I have no heat, no light.

And I forgot to backup my columns.

So they're all gone.

There's a local saying, "Stepping on poop".

Have you worn shoes with grooved soles.

And stepped in a soft pile?

If so, you understand.

Hello? Susan!

I'll write it when I get home.

My power was cut off!

Really!

It will take another hour.

All right... goodbye!

I'll bring it to you.

No, thanks!

I'm unlucky today. I'll break it!

Then I'll sell it to you cheaper.

I am afraid of that.

Broken pieces are useful, too.

I made this. So nice.

Right!

It is pretty!

Not for sale!

Vinyl records? People want these?

This is great stuff. Nat King Cole and

Frank Sinatra's classic collections.

My first boyfriend loved these.

I gave him a limited edition once for his birthday.

He was so happy...

I'm holding this for someone.

This is the one, I gave it to him!

My first boyfriend!

That's my signature, I'm Luna!

Why is it here?

You're a Virgo?

How did you know?

You should stay home today, you know.

He can do this because I'm a Virgo?

That's too cruel!

It took me forever to find this.

I can't let anyone else have it.

It's already been bought!

He didn't have enough cash, he'll be back.

Trust is important in business, see?

Please, I'll give you more money.

Call him!

I understand.

I see!

I sympathize with you.

Let me speak to the boss lady.

I don't care who she is.

That record is mine.

I'm coming to get it now, thanks.

He said no.

He did?

He pretended to sympathize with me!

He said he's coming now.

Wait here and beg him face to face.

Me, beg him?

Yes!

I can tell from his voice he's nasty!

All men are cold-blooded!

I hope the record is moldy and scratchy.

Where are you?

In a taxi, on my way to pick up something.

I just want to see where are you now.

When will you come back?

Don't be late.

Last time I played two songs before you arrived.

they made me write a report.

I know!

I don't want to seem to be defending you.

My fans are the ones defending me.

Without fans, they can go to hell.

Why is the beer warm?

I told you about the power cut.

Don't throw my things away.

C.H. Yuen, you come out here now!

You have two choices.

First, hire a maid.

Second, move in with me!

Rent-free?

Pay just a little!

You're paying so much for this space!

But it's still my own place!

If I move in with you,

I have to tolerate you and your buddies.

My side of the bed is in demand.

I've warned you.

If you can rent it out.

You have to return my...

I never gave you anything.

Let's go eat.

I'm meeting my buddies at Luk Yew Tea House.

No, thanks.

I don't want to listen to men to gossip.

Which beauty queens being with whom.

That's why you can't think of any topics.

You have to meet people to find topics.

Sorry, I don't write gossip columns.

Nor do free advertising.

Aren't you noble.

You'll be living off me, anyway.

C.H. Yuen!

If I had money I'd sue you!

Ready!

Vinyl Record Courier, your host Cheung Yung.

There's something called "The Beauty of Imperfection".

When we listen to Zhou Xuan of Edith Piaf.

Both women have

girlish singing voices.

I feel this is "The Beauty of Imperfection".

Then there's "The Beauty of Regret".

What is that?

I'll tell you later.

First let's listen to an Edith Piaf song.

I still miss him.

I don't know how to forget him.

I make myself very busy.

Like now, I'm still at work.

I called you so I wouldn't think of him.

Doing two things at the same time.

You're still at work?

We'll talk softly so your boss won't hear.

Ask your boss if he can hear us now.

You men have no sympathy!

Rich girls have taken the sympathetic ones.

Vinyl record lovers have cold hearts.

The more pity I show, the worse you'll feel.

But I make fun of you.

You get angry, throw a fit, curse me to hell.

Turn your anger around and feel better.

Some say my voice is harsh.

I understand that.

You're tired after a hard day.

You get home, put down your things.

You want a drink, and get into your slippers.

No way.

Your wife has to cook, and is a nag.

Your husband has to socialize.

The kids want to watch TV.

The maid won't get off the phone.

You seek comfort from a soothing voice.

But that's like whoring.

I don't want to induce indecent behavior.

So I'll continue using

this voice on my show.

I just mentioned "The Beauty of Regret".

You like something, can't have it.

That's "The Beauty of Regret".

Not everyone is intelligent enough

to appreciate it.

Today a woman begged me

to let her have a vinyl record.

Saying it was a gift to her first love.

Of course I didn't, for my own good.

Hoping she can feel "The Beauty of Regret".

It's not always good to posses.

First loves leave the deepest impressions.

Mementos from those cause sadness.

Why keep them?

I'm played this duet

for the woman I just met on the phone.

An Armstrong and Fitzgerald song.

Mrs. Yuen, this is Luna.

Remember? I used to visit!

Luna! How are you?

Is C.H. there?

He went to Canada years ago.

Do you have his number?

You're looking for him?

Yes!

It's midnight there.

I'll wait to call in the morning.

Well, let me ask him.

I'll have him call you.

What, he's a movie star now?

Susan, it's me.

I'm writing a piece I want to run tomorrow.

Can you let Layout Department know?

Please help me with this, okay?

"Regret"

Regret starts with cold-heartedness.

A lawyer friend tells me

some criminals are born without shame.

Once, he heard

a man accused of cheating the elderly.

Defending his actions by saying

"He'll be cheated anyway, why not by me?"

If you were in the jury,

would you acquit him for his honesty?

Sir, your dish of steak.

Some people are worse.

They do brutal things.

Then openly flaunt it on the radio.
