Don't compare with others
I didn't think that I was poor before
Till I found out that
I didn't have a new uniform every year
But my classmates all had new ones
At that moment,
I realised that I was poor
What make you to be a police then?
I wanted to be a sailor
But my mother's health was not so good
And there was no others at home
So I had to stay over to take care of her
Don't you think it's bored walking around all the night?
I don't think so
I'm tired, I want to go home now
If there are anyone who can talk to,
...come to me
But I don't want to interfere
your working hours
You can phone me then
I am here around this time everyday
Hey, do you have enough money for the fare?
Yes, bye
I never dream that she will call me
But I always stop in front of
the telephone kiosk
Maybe she has returned to Macao
Or maybe she just wants someone to kill a night with her
No soon, my mother past away
Then I changed to be a sailor
Son, come to eat your meal
It's ready now
Ranjet, come and eat
Don't you want me to beat you?
"My heart is broken..." Am I pretty?
Have you cleaned the floor?
Of course, but it gets dry very soon
I can swear if you don't believe
Swear if more curse if you want to
Why? So what if l haven't cleaned it?
Why should I curse myself?
I'll clean it when I come back, OK?
Alright, I'll clean it before I go out
Can't you cheer up a bit?
You seems to be very upset
I'll treat you to the cinema, OK?
I still have a few bugs with me
Are you very poor?
Maybe I can support you
My sister has transferred to work in Oriental Nightclub
She said it was easy to earn a living being a club girl
But you have to pick me up
everynight after work
Then I will be your "boy" then
To be happy is the most important thing
I won't tell others
You still want to go to the movie?
Let's go then
But I want to set my hair first
You don't have to change?
Hey, you still haven't changed your shoes
I had breakfast with Old Man this morning
He realised that I'm in bad mood
He asked me to go to USA with him
I know it pretty well that,
...in my age
It's difficult to find someone
really like me
Since he treats me so well
So is it!
Though he's quite old, but he is kind hearted
What do you think?
I won't come back anymore
If you want to, you can go with me
I won't force you if you don't like to
Of course you can't force me
You want to leave yourself
Don't dream!
You force me to be with you so many years
And now you just said that you would go
I won't let you go!
I've taken care of you for so many years
I won't dessert you
I have arranged everything for you
I will leave you the house
I'll send you money every month
I want nothing
I just want you to stay behind
You always want to keep me with you
So now I won't let you go
If you dare to leave
You want to scare me?
Alright, I don't mean to leave
I'll be old after few years
Do you mean that you would take care of me?
For what can you take care of me?
I don't care
If not, we will die together then
This is your dream
You did quite a good job!
You have been a foe to me for these years
Can't you be a bit better to me?
You shouldn't let me know
that I am adopted
Everything will then be perfect
You let me know a bit and hide a bit,
...l only want to know who are my parents
Why don't you tell me?
Don't you know that you are giving me an excuse to hate you?
You can go and find it out yourself
The Philippines is not so big after all,
go & search then
You dare not to go!
You're afraid to find out that
your mother is not rich
And she's not from a famous family, maybe worse than me
That's not your business
I'll not give up if you don't tell me
We can play this game onwards
You will have to tell me the truth
some fine days
I won't be happy to hear from others
I want you to tell me by yourself
Unless you have died
Then we will be happy
I should not let you know before
I tell you,
...for you are not my own blood
I know you will leave me
I always think that I will be alright
I never know that I am unwilling to let you go
I keep not telling you,
...l am a bit selfish
I do it because I want to protect you
They planned to dessert you
If they really want you,
they will come to find you long ago
You won't understand
I know that you'll not listen
to whatever I said now
You spoiled yourself for these years
& put all the responsibility on me, you want a revenge
Alright
...I'll tell you who your mother is now
I can't stand it any longer
You always use such an excuse before
You can't use it any longer
You want to go, right?
Alright, go now
Go as far as you can
Don't let me know that
you are cheating yourself
Have you made up your mind?
I've said so many times
It's time to go for once
That's good
Have you planned how long would you stay?
I don't know what would happen there
And I don't know when I would be back
Take care of yourself
Doesn't she know that you are leaving?
I have to leave no matter she knows it or not
Tell her that I've left if she comes to bother you
Take it
I know you like it for long
Treat it well!
Has he ever come here?
Did you listen to me?
Don't you think that you can ignore me?
I know you two meet frequently
Why do you have to be so cheap?
He has said he didn't like you already
Why can't you just leave him?
Have you finished?
Now he left you and you'd better go home to cry
Why do you tell me this?
I don't want to know that he treated me not so bad,
...and treated you not so good as well
Don't touch me
He treats all women the same
We are almost closed, you have limited time here
I shouldn't be here actually
I shouldn't give you such a chance to feel cheerful
But I feel he likes me a bit more
No matter how, he left you because of me
It's better for you to know it earlier
You are the one to cry now
I have recovered long ago
What's the matter?
Did your son ever come back?
No
Then do you know
where can I look for him?
No, he never tells me anything about him
If you ever see him
Tell him that Mimi is looking for him
He gets my phone number
I don't know whether I will see him or not
I am leaving tomorrow
Will he be leaving with you?
May I have a look of your house?
He used to ask me
to wait downstairs before
I really want to know...
...what does this house look like
It's just the same
Am I silly?
No, I am the same when I was still young
Do you want me to call a cab for you?
No, thanks
It's you, I think it's York!
He has left for the Philippines
Why you have to follow me?
Go away,
I don't want to see you anymore
Why do you ask me to go?
Why don't you just let me to follow you?
I don't want anything to happen to you
I don't want you to be so good to me!
I've told you not to love me before
What do you mean?
Taken up?
His car is now yours, and you want me too?
It doesn't mean that I've to love you when he's not aside
I don't like you
What are you doing?
Don't stand on my way!
What do you want?
I really want to go to the Philippines
I really want to go!
Put the money safe
Why so much money?
Just as what you've said, it has to be matched
He looks smart on that car
I wonder what will I look like on that car
So, it's better for me to sell it
Go to the Philippines if you really want to
Say sorry to York for me when you see him
Tell him that I have sold his car
If you really can't find York,
...come back to me then
On 12th April, 1961
At last, I come to my mother's house
But she didn't want to see me
The maids told me that she was not there
By the time when I left this house,
...l knew that there was someone behind starring at me
Though I wouldn't come back anymore
I just want to see her for once
To look at her face
Since she doesn't give me a chance,
I won't give her such a chance
Any spare room?
Yes, the rent will be $30,
$5 for one extra bed
How many days do you want to stay?
Two days, I have to wait for the ship
Thanks
Who's that?
Sir, are you alone?
What?
Not yet
What do you want?
Why? You don't like me? Easy!
Don't tell me that you will help me
Wake up, you don't mean to sleep here?
Hey! Are you serious?
There is a lot of bad guys walk passed here
Hey, wake up!
You haven't gone out?
I just come back
You have friend here?
He is just my friend
Am I bothering you?
No
She's quite good
Have you ever been here before?
China Town is quite a small place
Many people come and stay in this inn
Almost everyone will stay here
Are you coming from Hong Kong?
Yeah!
What's your profession?
Sailor
How long?
I'm green hand in this field
I used to be a cop before
Not bad
Why do you change to be a sailor then?
I just want to wander around
How long have you been in Philippines?
A few months already
What for? Working?
I don't like working
I am here to look for my family
Then have you found it out?
It should be counted as OK
What's the time now? I have no watch
Half past three
Why don't we go and have a drink?
It's already too late
If it is late for you,
why not just stay here?
I have wine here, you can have it
I am homeless
I have to go to the station when sunrise
And it's only a few hours later
To drink is better to sleep for these few hours
Are you leaving for some other place?
It's bored to stay in one place for a long time
As what you have said, to wander around
Hey, do you want some?
Thanks
Then when will you go back?
Till they have all the goods unloaded
I think it probably
takes 2 days time
How about you? Will you go back?
Maybe, even though...
I think it takes quite a long period of time
Maybe we'll meet each other on the street of HK
We won't know each other at that time
I hope not
Have I ever met you before?
My memory is not so good
Me too
Get out of here! Go!
Go!
Get out of here!
Hey! Which train are you going to take?
I don't mean to take the train
So what are you
coming here for?
To wait someone here
I've to go in for some dealing
I owe you this meal, I'll be the banker next time
This is a very good passport
This is my job, do you like it?
Now, where is my money?
Money?
I don't have any money!
What a fast dealing!
Stop him!
Go!
Have you ever been to USA?
Why don't you talk? Are you afraid of missing your ship?
Not everybody is like you!
You need not care about life!
I have to work, to earn my living, don't you know?
Should you want a passport, buy with money!
You should not make so much trouble at all!
Don't you know that we are almost killed!
Don't you think you would be killed?
Men will easily get killed,
may be train accident!
How can you predict it?
I don't care what you think,
but don't drag me down!
I have told you to leave first,
now it's you tailing me!
I do wish that you were killed!
Did you ever heard of a bird which...
Yes!
The bird with no legs!
You can only cheat those innocent girls
Are you like a bird? How?
You're like the drunkard
picked up from the garbage of China Town!
Don't you think you are like a bird?
If you could fly, you would not have to be here
Go and fly, if you have such ability!
There is a chance!
But don't look down upon yourself if this day come
Tell me
When can we arrive the next stop?
I don't know what you are talking about!
How long? How long to next stop?
Tell me!
1 2 hours
1 2 hours?
Thanks
That day when I came out from the hospital,
I felt very free
I need not to worry about my living any longer
I will get US$50 monthly
till the boy is 1 8
I do want to know
is the end shot of my life
So, I must not close my eyes when I die
How about you?
What do you want to see most when your life end
Life is so long, many things that I have not yet seen
I don't know,
I don't know what I want to see most
Think it over
Since your job is so boring!
Life actually is not long,
it's time to think it over
There was a bird...
Which lied and flied until it died
It never goes to anywhere
Because it died from the start
I've said that
I never know which woman is my true love
I wonder what she is doing now
Dawn breaks
It looks fine today
How about sunset?
When I last saw him,
I asked him a question
Did you remember that
3 pm of April 1 6, last year?
Did you remember what you were doing on that day?
Why do you ask in this way?
Nothing
A friend of mine always wants to challenge my memory
He asked me what had I done on that day
I've forget, how about you?
Did she tell you?
I think that you've already forgot!
I can remember what should be remembered
Are you two dated frequently?
In a certain period
After my new job, we seldom meet then
How about you?
l?
No
What else did she tell you?
No more
Actually, we know each other for a short period of time only
Do you like her?
It's different, we are friends only
When you see her again, tell her...
...I've forgot everything
This is good to both of us
Maybe I will never meet her again
Even if I can see her,
Maybe she can't recognise me
You come here alone, Aren't you afraid?
I heard that people from HK live here
So I want to talk to you
