The White Girl (白色女孩)

No pearls?

Show me.

On the way!

Anytime now.

Stop fooling around oyster boy!

How can you let your queen wait?

Tell me when?

Tomorrow, promise. You'll get one tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Who knows what tomorrow will bring,

this is the last fishing village of Hong Kong.

Pearl of the East,

Pearl Village.

Papa, breakfast's ready.

No mosquitos in the morning, no mosquitos at night,

You know what the sun can do to you...

...UV rays are dangerous...

...sunblock and sunglasses...

umbrella and raincoat just in case...

walk on the shady side of the street... blah blah blah

Look what the sun did to your mother...

so pale, so weak...

By the time the doctors got it right...

...It was too late!

One, one, one...

Number ONE that's me.

If they raise typhoon signal 1,

take an umbrella,

wear a raincoat.

When it is typhoon signal 3,

be safe,

tape up your windows.

And if it's typhoon 8...

all the boats must come back

and we all should stay at home.

No. 8 typhoon will blow trees down

so stay at home till the storm is over.

Okay, it's time to leave.

- Bye bye Miss Wong. - Bye bye.

White Girl,

White Girl!

White Girl, White Girl!

Typhoon, typhoon. So what?

My Uncle's VIPs are in town,

That means there's business to do.

Uncle's got cool jobs for me.

No more beer.

Did you hear what I said?

No beer in the fridge.

Hey!

Get me the beer on the boat.

It's by the engine.

Ok.

Hey! She can't go on the boat!

You know she's bad luck.

Ling Ling?

Mama?

Fish no fish till the beer comes in!

We're on strike!

Fish no fish till the beer comes in!

Where's the beer?

Wake up...

Wake up...

No mosquitos in the morning, no mosquitos at night,

Ho Zai's Mosquito Coils protect from every bite!

Ready, boss?

This side looks better.

Hot as hell...

Hurry up.

Open the door.

Tourists in the Village Council?

Strange...

Hurry up, move along...

To promote Chinese tradition,

the Village Council

is sponsoring a Cantonese Opera Troupe

performance at the Moon Festival Banquet.

Who knows about the Moon Festival?

Why do we celebrate it?

Because it's the ONE night a year

when Niu Lang and Zhi Nu get to DO it.

Which of you smart asses can tell me why?

What's all about?

Ho Nam, take it away!

Even back then, the globe was warming,

Ten suns came out without any warning,

The ice caps all melted, the sea levels rose,

The fish and people were hot & overexposed

Ten suns?

So the super archer arrives,

shoots down nine suns & hits the jackpot!

Gold coins everywhere.

He cashes them in

for the best chick in town.

What more does he need?

Little blue "immorality pills"

"immortality!"

Go figure,

then the chick wants to get high so she swallows it all herself.

Kun, I've had enough!

Get some sleep!

Hello everybody. My name is Ling Ling. I am 19 years old.

My dream is to become Miss Hong Kong.

Today I will sing "The Moon Back Then" for you.

Hope you like it.

"When will the moon be full?"

"I ask with wine to the sky."

"Don't know about heaven."

"Don't know what year it is."

"I flew with the wind."

"Fearing that place."

"Up so high and cold."

"I dance so fast I cast no shadow."

"How can I be of this earth."

"Round the red pavilion, under..."

"Round the red pavilion, under the mansion."

What's going on?

People can see you!

Who's going to see me? I'm invisible.

Stop it...

the neighbours can't see you like this.

Like what? Like I am? Like I shouldn't walk on the street...

I shouldn't go on the boat...

I shouldn't even walk to school...

I shouldn't go anywhere!

Don't be like that...

This is our home.

You call this a home?

If mother was still alive,

she'd take care of us.

We wouldn't live in this smelly shack.

How could mother take care of us? She couldn't even take care of herself.

Open the door!

Who are you?

Waaa... mosquito heaven!

Let me help.

No mosquitos in the morning, no mosquitos at night,

Ho Zai's Mosquito Coils protect from every bite!

It's so empty here, you need stuff...

I have an idea!

Come!

Come!

My bike, you push!

My bike, you push?

Hey!

Your bike is so hard to push.

No mosquitos in the morning, no mosquitos at night,

Ho Zai's Mosquito Coils protect from every bite!

Pearl Village, my home.

It's full of good stuff!

- How much? - Five dollars.

Two?

- Seven. - Seven?

Seven?

So expensive.

Wait here.

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

You.

Me?

Aren't you cold?

A little...

You're not cold?

You're not cold?

Check 1, 2...

Can you hear me?

Sing me something special.

I want to try "The Moon Back Then"

in this key.

"I flew with the wind."

What do you think?

What do I think? What do YOU think?

What do you think we're here for?

I'm here to sing...

That's all?

Look at you. You're stuck in this shitty village...

Do what I tell you and I'll make you a star.

Ok. I WANT to be a star.

Now we know what we want.

What will you do for me?

Hey... Why aren't you at school?

What's wrong? Are you sick?

What's up with you lately?

The whole village is talking about you.

Of course, I went out last night.

When there is no sun,

there is nothing to hurt me.

I'm your father.

Don't you care what people say?

Of course, at least they talk about me

now at least I'll exist.

They are who they are...

We are who we are...
