3
00:01:02,207 --> 00:01:03,541
Where are we ?
4
00:01:04,374 --> 00:01:08,416
I don't know, I've
never been here.
5
00:03:45,416 --> 00:03:47,541
Why is it so long?
6
00:03:47,791 --> 00:03:50,332
Did the driver make a detour?
7
00:03:50,957 --> 00:03:52,957
I have it in my eye.
8
00:05:28,082 --> 00:05:31,916
Have we just crossed the port?
9
00:05:32,707 --> 00:05:33,916
Who.
10
00:07:14,582 --> 00:07:18,416
Did you see ?
People drive on the left here.
11
00:11:17,416 --> 00:11:22,291
"You have arrived at your destination,
the total cost of the trip is HK $ 65.2,"
12
00:11:22,457 --> 00:11:25,874
"Including additional
costs, thank you."
13
00:11:25,957 --> 00:11:27,624
There you go, Star Ferry!
14
00:11:28,207 --> 00:11:31,041
What are these additional fees?
15
00:11:31,291 --> 00:11:34,499
It's the tunnel fee
and the baggage fee.
16
00:11:34,874 --> 00:11:38,041
Can you not speak Cantonese?
We don't understand it.
17
00:11:38,207 --> 00:11:39,416
OK, OK.
18
00:11:39,624 --> 00:11:42,707
Tunnel fees and baggage fees.
19
00:11:43,291 --> 00:11:45,832
Is the tunnel paying too?
20
00:11:45,916 --> 00:11:47,999
Of course !
21
00:11:48,749 --> 00:11:51,249
So what are the baggage fees?
22
00:11:51,457 --> 00:11:56,832
There is an $ 8 charge for
putting your luggage in the trunk.
23
00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:59,749
But, I put them
there myself, not you.
24
00:11:59,791 --> 00:12:01,707
This is not what matters.
25
00:12:01,791 --> 00:12:05,666
Putting luggage
in the trunk is more.
26
00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:10,082
Why didn't you say anything? If I had
known, I would have kept them in front.
27
00:12:10,082 --> 00:12:13,374
No need to say it,
everyone knows it.
28
00:12:13,416 --> 00:12:17,957
But we didn't know, if we had
known, we wouldn't have done it.
29
00:12:17,957 --> 00:12:19,791
But it's done now.
30
00:12:19,791 --> 00:12:21,916
Come on, it's only 8 dollars!
31
00:12:21,916 --> 00:12:24,666
This rule does not exist
where we come from.
32
00:12:24,707 --> 00:12:25,874
Sorry ?
33
00:12:25,916 --> 00:12:29,707
♪ said, this rule does
not exist in mainland China.
34
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:30,916
So what ?
35
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:32,874
Here is Hong Kong!
36
00:12:33,416 --> 00:12:35,041
What can it do?
37
00:12:35,041 --> 00:12:36,999
It's part of China, right?
38
00:12:36,999 --> 00:12:39,541
But Hong Kong has its own rules.
39
00:12:39,541 --> 00:12:43,416
What rules?
Are they written somewhere?
40
00:12:44,124 --> 00:12:45,707
Look for yourselves!
41
00:12:45,707 --> 00:12:49,999
We cannot read traditional
Chinese characters.
42
00:12:49,999 --> 00:12:51,707
Are you kinding me ?
43
00:12:51,791 --> 00:12:53,416
Are you Chinese or not?
44
00:12:53,416 --> 00:12:56,124
You can't even read
traditional characters!
45
00:12:56,291 --> 00:12:57,041
Here !
46
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:59,416
English! You can
read English, right?
47
00:13:00,874 --> 00:13:04,916
OK, OK, whatever.
We're going to say it's a tip.
48
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:08,124
That's rubbish, here's your $ 8!
49
00:13:42,207 --> 00:13:46,082
In the good old days,
every time I came here
50
00:13:46,082 --> 00:13:50,957
I left my car and went to have tea
in the restaurant around the corner.
51
00:13:50,957 --> 00:13:55,207
But now look, Everywhere
jewelry stores and pharmacies.
52
00:13:55,207 --> 00:13:57,332
Here is a new Sasa store.
53
00:13:57,332 --> 00:14:00,374
Not just in Kowloon,
even in the New Territories,
54
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:02,332
many old stores
have closed and been
55
00:14:02,332 --> 00:14:06,124
turned into shopping
centers for tourists.
56
00:14:06,124 --> 00:14:08,582
This city is dying.
57
00:14:08,582 --> 00:14:11,416
There are only tourists left.
58
00:14:24,916 --> 00:14:26,749
Look at that moron,
59
00:14:26,749 --> 00:14:31,624
If you want to cross, cross, if
you want to take a photo, take a
60
00:14:31,624 --> 00:14:35,707
photo, but don't get stuck in the
middle of the pedestrian crossing!
61
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:45,332
Look, isn't that actor
John Chiang over there?
62
00:14:48,374 --> 00:14:49,416
Yes it's him.
63
00:14:49,416 --> 00:14:52,582
It's been a while
since I saw him on TV.
64
00:14:52,582 --> 00:14:54,832
He still plays,
but not like before.
65
00:14:54,832 --> 00:14:57,041
He mostly does stupid advertisements.
66
00:14:57,041 --> 00:15:01,416
When I was little he always
played the father in the playoffs.
67
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:03,124
How old is he now?
68
00:15:03,124 --> 00:15:05,666
Over 60, I think.
69
00:15:05,666 --> 00:15:09,249
Father roles?
He's more like a grandpa now.
70
00:15:52,874 --> 00:15:56,416
Hey, didn't we forget
to buy some dish soap?
71
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:58,666
Ah, yes, I forgot.
72
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:01,791
Too bad, we can buy
it at Wellcome later.
73
00:16:01,832 --> 00:16:05,291
We came here
because it's cheaper,
74
00:16:05,291 --> 00:16:07,749
but in the end we forget things.
75
00:16:15,416 --> 00:16:17,916
Isn't this shampoo expensive?
76
00:16:18,457 --> 00:16:23,457
120HK $ for two, I find it to
be cheaper than Wellcome.
77
00:16:23,457 --> 00:16:27,999
Isn't it HK $ 99 at Wellcome?
We paid HK $ 20 more.
78
00:16:27,999 --> 00:16:31,499
The price has already increased
to 130HK $ at Wellcome.
79
00:16:31,499 --> 00:16:35,791
Even if they offer you a sample.
What a story !
80
00:16:35,791 --> 00:16:39,916
Has the price gone up again?
It had already increased last month.
81
00:17:09,999 --> 00:17:12,499
I told you not to take a
82
00:17:12,499 --> 00:17:14,082
taxi, it's wasted money.
83
00:17:14,541 --> 00:17:15,541
Look, everyone
waiting for the bus,
84
00:17:15,541 --> 00:17:19,666
and with the metro
there's a change.
85
00:17:19,666 --> 00:17:21,832
Besides, we are too busy.
86
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:24,749
We shouldn't have gone to this brunch.
87
00:17:25,416 --> 00:17:27,707
It's okay, it's been
a while since we
88
00:17:27,707 --> 00:17:30,916
last ate together
with your parents.
89
00:18:16,624 --> 00:18:21,666
Look, this is the building I
interviewed in, on the 9th floor.
90
00:18:21,749 --> 00:18:24,707
The job Tin recommended me for.
91
00:18:25,624 --> 00:18:27,166
The green building?
92
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:29,374
No, the one next to it.
93
00:18:29,416 --> 00:18:31,374
What is this job?
94
00:18:31,416 --> 00:18:34,207
Handing out flyers
in the street and
95
00:18:34,249 --> 00:18:37,874
rounding up tourists
to a jeans store.
96
00:18:37,874 --> 00:18:40,291
It's easy, you
just have to stand.
97
00:18:40,291 --> 00:18:42,541
Standing stomping all day?
98
00:18:42,541 --> 00:18:44,832
Easy ? Do not do that !
99
00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:49,707
We have to work more, we will
soon have one more mouth to feed.
100
00:18:49,707 --> 00:18:53,249
That's why I don't
want you to do it.
101
00:18:53,249 --> 00:18:55,957
But our rent is going
up, how do we do it?
102
00:18:55,957 --> 00:19:00,374
I'm going to see if Tin can offer me
something, I'm going to work myself, okay?
103
00:19:00,374 --> 00:19:02,874
Do you think it's
easy to find a job?
104
00:19:02,874 --> 00:19:05,999
My cousin has a master's
degree in finance from the
105
00:19:05,999 --> 00:19:08,416
University of Hong Kong, do
you know what he's doing now?
106
00:19:10,166 --> 00:19:11,207
What?
107
00:19:11,207 --> 00:19:15,291
He sells bonds, he scams people.
108
00:20:46,957 --> 00:20:51,666
What did Jenson do
when he lost his job?
109
00:20:51,666 --> 00:20:54,916
I think he is smuggling with his
110
00:20:54,916 --> 00:20:56,916
wife, they go to
Shenzhen all the time.
111
00:20:57,249 --> 00:21:00,624
Shouldn't we do that too?
112
00:21:00,624 --> 00:21:02,749
What? Contraband?
113
00:21:04,541 --> 00:21:07,541
We call it a “private
import-export company”.
114
00:21:07,582 --> 00:21:09,249
But how to do it ?
115
00:21:09,249 --> 00:21:11,999
It's simple.
We dress like tourists,
116
00:21:11,999 --> 00:21:15,416
we bring products there
and sell them to the Mainland.
117
00:21:15,416 --> 00:21:18,791
But it's the mainland who
do that normally, right?
118
00:21:18,791 --> 00:21:22,291
So what ?
The Chinese market is so big.
119
00:21:22,291 --> 00:21:25,291
An iPhone 6 costs HK $ 5,500 in Hong Kong,
120
00:21:25,291 --> 00:21:27,291
Do you know how much it costs in China?
121
00:21:27,291 --> 00:21:29,291
How many ?
122
00:21:29,291 --> 00:21:33,416
5,200 yuan, look how
much that's in HK $.
123
00:21:33,749 --> 00:21:36,082
5,200 yuan… let's see…
124
00:21:36,082 --> 00:21:38,999
Wha! Almost HK $ 6,200!
125
00:21:38,999 --> 00:21:43,707
Serious! The laptop is very small,
you can sneak it through customs.
126
00:21:43,707 --> 00:21:47,999
There is always a line in front of
the Apple Stores. Only Continental.
127
00:21:47,999 --> 00:21:51,541
But they're going to search
us at customs for sure.
128
00:21:51,541 --> 00:21:54,707
We just have to remove the
packaging and say it's for us.
129
00:21:54,707 --> 00:21:56,249
What can they do?
130
00:21:56,249 --> 00:21:58,249
You can also sell cosmetics.
131
00:21:58,249 --> 00:22:00,916
Did you see the line
in front of pharmacies?
132
00:22:01,916 --> 00:22:03,457
Yes… it deserves some thought.
133
00:22:03,457 --> 00:22:06,416
In addition, food is
cheaper in Shenzhen.
134
00:22:06,416 --> 00:22:09,999
We should do our shopping
there, that would be smart.
135
00:22:09,999 --> 00:22:14,207
Well, I'm going to ask Jenson tonight.
136
00:22:43,166 --> 00:22:45,749
What do you want to eat ?
137
00:22:45,749 --> 00:22:47,957
Ravioli or grilled meats?
138
00:22:47,957 --> 00:22:50,832
I don't want to eat out.
139
00:22:50,874 --> 00:22:54,416
Let's stay home and
make instant noodles.
140
00:23:47,916 --> 00:23:49,416
What's the matter ?
141
00:23:49,457 --> 00:23:51,416
Nothing, I'm tired.
142
00:23:52,916 --> 00:23:57,416
Oh yes, have you thought about
the gift for Robert and his wife?
143
00:23:57,457 --> 00:24:01,124
No, but what about a
can of powdered milk?
144
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:04,916
Did you lost your mind ?
Who offers powdered milk to a wedding?
145
00:24:04,957 --> 00:24:08,791
It's practical though.
♪ would like to be offered this.
146
00:24:08,832 --> 00:24:12,499
Or a reservation at the
maternity ward, or a good school.
147
00:24:12,499 --> 00:24:14,041
Powdered milk can be bought.
148
00:24:14,082 --> 00:24:17,874
Motherhood or school, you
have to be ready to kill to get it.
149
00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:23,374
Do you think that national education will be there
when our child is old enough to go to school?
150
00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:25,332
It will come sooner or later.
151
00:24:26,416 --> 00:24:28,666
When our child
grows up and sings the
152
00:24:28,666 --> 00:24:31,957
national anthem in
front of the Chinese flag,
153
00:24:31,957 --> 00:24:33,332
He'll cry, you think?
154
00:24:33,332 --> 00:24:35,666
We know how it's going to go, don't we?
155
00:24:35,666 --> 00:24:37,999
All the rich and smart
people emigrated,
156
00:24:38,082 --> 00:24:40,541
they left the rednecks
like us stuck here.
157
00:25:20,624 --> 00:25:26,874
Excuse me, do you mind
going down here and walking?
158
00:25:26,874 --> 00:25:31,416
See? There are too many people
here, you will go faster on foot.
159
00:25:31,416 --> 00:25:34,874
I prefer not, my
wife is pregnant.
160
00:25:35,082 --> 00:25:36,874
Okay. Excuse me,
161
00:25:36,874 --> 00:25:39,666
in this case I will
go to your place.
162
00:25:39,666 --> 00:25:41,416
Thank you.
163
00:27:34,749 --> 00:27:37,666
Hello? Mr. Chan? How are you ?
164
00:27:40,416 --> 00:27:45,582
Excuse me, I'm not in the office,
I'm on my way to see a client.
165
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:49,999
Honestly, I understand.
166
00:27:49,999 --> 00:27:54,249
You have no experience and
you are saving for retirement.
167
00:27:54,249 --> 00:27:56,749
What is the point of
making risky investments?
168
00:27:56,749 --> 00:28:00,999
If I didn't know you so well,
and if you didn't need the money,
169
00:28:00,999 --> 00:28:04,624
I would advise you
a prudent investment.
170
00:28:05,457 --> 00:28:09,416
But listen to me, you
have to take some height.
171
00:28:09,416 --> 00:28:12,666
The stock market goes up,
down, you know all that is relative.
172
00:28:12,666 --> 00:28:17,166
The market is not attractive to
people who have already invested a lot.
173
00:28:17,207 --> 00:28:20,916
But for people like
you who have money
174
00:28:20,916 --> 00:28:23,416
lying dormant now is
a great time to invest.
175
00:28:25,416 --> 00:28:27,874
You have to buy low and sell high!
176
00:28:27,874 --> 00:28:30,874
If the stock market goes up too
much, how can you make money?
177
00:28:30,874 --> 00:28:34,707
The others have already pocketed
the winnings, you only have the crumbs.
178
00:28:34,707 --> 00:28:39,207
Now the market is at its
lowest, everyone got rinsed,
179
00:28:39,416 --> 00:28:42,707
we must invest before
they can recover.
180
00:28:42,707 --> 00:28:45,624
We call it "catching the
opponent by surprise".
181
00:28:45,874 --> 00:28:50,832
The global economy, the United States, Asia and
Europe, everything has been sluggish for years.
182
00:28:50,832 --> 00:28:53,124
Don't you feel it's going to start again?
183
00:28:53,124 --> 00:28:57,707
It's up to you to seize
opportunities when they arise.
184
00:28:57,707 --> 00:29:01,832
Keeping your savings in
the bank is good for losers.
185
00:29:01,832 --> 00:29:05,874
What are Hong Kongers doing?
They make money with money.
186
00:29:05,874 --> 00:29:10,791
The crisis of 1997, SARS in
2003, we have always done well.
187
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:15,999
Trust me, Hong Kong
and the global economy!
188
00:29:15,999 --> 00:29:18,416
Will you think about it, promise?
189
00:29:24,999 --> 00:29:29,374
Of course with pleasure. I will prepare
the documents tomorrow at the office.

♪ I really have great respect
for salespeople like you.
193
00:30:07,416 --> 00:30:11,416
When the market is good, you
tell people to buy bonds and stocks.
194
00:30:11,416 --> 00:30:14,749
When the market is bad,
you tell them to buy insurance.
195
00:30:14,749 --> 00:30:19,332
Buying when the market is
good is “seizing the opportunity”.
196
00:30:19,332 --> 00:30:22,666
When it is bad, it is to
"catch them off guard".

Hey, that was a professional conversation,
what are you doing listening to me?
199

Well, you were so articulate,
so convincing, and so confident.
200
00:30:34,707 --> 00:30:37,832
You would have thought
you were giving a speech.
201
00:30:37,832 --> 00:30:39,832
It was hard not to listen.
202
00:30:39,832 --> 00:30:42,749
Too bad if you listened
to me, but why judge me?

What's wrong with that?

Only HK $ 3 million! I got 2
million stolen from people like you.

Fortunately, I have this

I would have only had
to touch the allowances.
214

At that point, these so-called

Social worker ? None ?

You patient!
246
00:37:28,291 --> 00:37:31,416
I want to leave from here.
247
00:37:33,124 --> 00:37:35,624
Calm down, be patient,
248
00:37:35,624 --> 00:37:37,874
we only have two years left here.
249
00:37:37,916 --> 00:37:40,374
I don't want to stay another day.
250
00:37:42,499 --> 00:37:44,332
To stay here, I learned to speak
251
00:37:44,332 --> 00:37:48,582
Cantonese, to write
traditional Chinese.
252
00:37:48,582 --> 00:37:54,332
Still happening, but I don't understand why I
have to put up with being discriminated against?
253
00:37:54,582 --> 00:37:56,666
It's not so bad.
254
00:37:56,707 --> 00:37:59,332
And then, we really
walked past him in that line.
255
00:37:59,582 --> 00:38:03,832
How did we get past him?
I told her I hadn't seen her.
256
00:38:03,832 --> 00:38:06,416
You hadn't seen him either, had you?
257
00:38:07,041 --> 00:38:10,624
But it's still our fault.
258
00:38:10,624 --> 00:38:14,582
I just thought she was
smoking or waiting for someone.
259
00:38:14,582 --> 00:38:18,749
There was plenty of room in front
of her, of course I got down there.
260
00:38:18,791 --> 00:38:20,999
Besides, the bus was already there.
261
00:38:21,416 --> 00:38:25,166
I apologized as soon
as she started screaming.
262
00:38:25,166 --> 00:38:29,874
Why did she feel compelled
to mumble "grasshopper"?
263
00:38:30,416 --> 00:38:33,916
She thought I didn't
understand Cantonese?
264
00:39:40,416 --> 00:39:41,624
The last time,
265
00:39:41,916 --> 00:39:47,749
You were working overtime, I
took your parents to dinner at Shatin.
266
00:39:47,749 --> 00:39:52,832
There was a family of locals nearby,
they heard that we spoke Mandarin.
267
00:39:53,832 --> 00:39:55,416
The father said to his son:
268
00:39:55,416 --> 00:39:59,624
"Son, do you know they don't
have fresh prawns on the Mainland?"
269
00:39:59,624 --> 00:40:03,749
That's why they all come
here to eat shrimp ravioli. "
270
00:40:03,749 --> 00:40:05,582
You already told me that.
271
00:40:05,582 --> 00:40:10,666
Please don't start in the cab,
just wait until we're home, okay?
272
00:40:10,666 --> 00:40:13,666
Do you have a
problem if I yell in a cab?
273
00:40:14,291 --> 00:40:15,916
You really have no guts.
274
00:40:15,916 --> 00:40:19,291
What did you want me to do?
That I raise my tone with her?
275
00:40:19,291 --> 00:40:22,124
If we had argued, they
would all have come to film
276
00:40:22,124 --> 00:40:25,249
with their phones and then
put everything on Facebook.
277
00:40:25,249 --> 00:40:27,749
The next day, we would
have been seen on the news:
278
00:40:27,749 --> 00:40:31,916
"Continents cut a line
and fight with passers-by"
279
00:40:31,916 --> 00:40:34,416
Haven't you seen enough yet?
280
00:40:46,499 --> 00:40:49,207
Can we go home, please?
281
00:40:49,207 --> 00:40:51,874
We've been living here for five years.
282
00:40:51,874 --> 00:40:54,832
Two more years and we'll
have a residence permit.
283
00:40:54,832 --> 00:40:57,707
We'll talk about it later, okay?
284
00:41:00,457 --> 00:41:02,916
What can this permit do to me?
285
00:41:02,916 --> 00:41:04,082
What do you mean ?
286
00:41:04,124 --> 00:41:08,166
Wasn't it you who talked all
the time about leaving China?
287
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:11,374
It's true, I didn't want to stay there.
288
00:41:12,707 --> 00:41:15,957
But there are a lot
of ways to immigrate
289
00:41:15,999 --> 00:41:18,124
nowadays, you can go to Canada,
290
00:41:18,124 --> 00:41:20,791
some go to
Australia, but I don't
291
00:41:20,916 --> 00:41:24,124
understand why we
have to stay in Hong Kong.
292
00:41:24,124 --> 00:41:26,957
Stop dreaming, okay?
293
00:41:26,999 --> 00:41:29,499
Here at least it is close to home.
294
00:41:32,791 --> 00:41:37,457
That's what I thought too, but
don't you think that since it's close,
295
00:41:37,457 --> 00:41:40,957
there aren't many differences between
Hong Kong and the mainland anymore?
296
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:43,874
Every day, I write TV
series for the Continent
297
00:41:44,041 --> 00:41:47,624
surrounded by students
from the Continent.
298
00:41:47,707 --> 00:41:52,999
But before coming to Hong Kong,
we didn't know it would become this.
299
00:41:52,999 --> 00:41:57,166
Don't you find it more and more bizarre?
300
00:41:57,249 --> 00:42:01,416
More and more Hong Kong
people are going to the Continent,
301
00:42:01,416 --> 00:42:06,124
and Mainlanders in Hong Kong.
Isn't that ridiculous frankly?
302
00:42:06,124 --> 00:42:09,999
It is not the same !
Hong Kongers go there for work.
303
00:42:09,999 --> 00:42:12,416
We, to have a better life!
304
00:42:12,416 --> 00:42:16,207
A better life ?
Because you think we have a life?
305
00:42:16,207 --> 00:42:21,457
It's so tight with us, when
I stretch, I touch the walls!
306
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:27,916
♪ spent so much money
learning filmmaking for three
307
00:42:27,916 --> 00:42:31,999
years, but now I earn
less than doing the dishes.
308
00:42:31,999 --> 00:42:33,541
Anyway, I think society here is
309
00:42:33,541 --> 00:42:38,249
relatively fairer
and more equitable.
310
00:42:38,249 --> 00:42:41,541
Fair, it's true.
311
00:42:41,541 --> 00:42:46,832
Everyone makes so little money,
and has to endure the same pressure.
312
00:42:49,957 --> 00:42:54,916
If that's what you call "fair," I
don't know what else to say.

If we go home now
316
00:43:28,166 --> 00:43:31,207
What are we going to say to our parents?
317
00:43:33,124 --> 00:43:37,749
What will they tell our
loved ones, our friends?
318
00:43:39,291 --> 00:43:44,416
It's gonna talk, everyone's
gonna think we've failed.
319
00:43:50,999 --> 00:43:55,416
Isn't that what your family would say?
320
00:44:25,249 --> 00:44:27,666
Yes it is good for me. What about you, Jeramie?
321
00:44:27,666 --> 00:44:31,582
Me ? I was just following
the leader of our dance group.
322
00:44:31,582 --> 00:44:33,916
Now the problem is,
323
00:44:33,916 --> 00:44:37,874
the orange suit is ugly!
324
00:44:37,874 --> 00:44:41,041
Not at all !
He looks cool, I like it.
325
00:44:41,041 --> 00:44:42,416
Are you kidding or what?
326
00:44:42,416 --> 00:44:47,166
This orange dress does not
go at all with the purple shoes.
327
00:44:47,166 --> 00:44:49,916
And you, what do you think, Michelle?
328
00:44:49,916 --> 00:44:53,124
Me, I prefer the peach-colored
329
00:44:53,124 --> 00:44:55,207
dress, not the orange.
330
00:44:55,207 --> 00:44:58,082
But the orange dress is cheaper.
331
00:44:58,082 --> 00:45:01,541
It costs only HK $ 150.
332
00:45:01,541 --> 00:45:06,291
Me, I find that the peach-colored
dress has a "Korean" style.
333
00:45:06,291 --> 00:45:09,666
I don't like him very much.
334
00:45:09,666 --> 00:45:14,541
- That's good, we're going to look like chic girls.
- Us? “Chic” girls?
335
00:45:19,624 --> 00:45:22,166
The fried chicken is disgusting here.
336
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:25,416
It tastes different from the Philippines.
337

No, running away from problems

Fleeing is also a solution.
833
01:31:04,374 --> 01:31:08,041
If your grandfather hadn't
run away here to Hong Kong
834
01:31:08,041 --> 01:31:13,791
the whole family would be starving,
and you wouldn't even be there.
835
01:31:15,832 --> 01:31:19,416
I am not a grandfather, I am me.
836
01:31:24,999 --> 01:31:27,499
Let me ask you a question.
837
01:31:27,749 --> 01:31:30,041
Imagine you crave a banana.
838
01:31:30,041 --> 01:31:32,082
You walk into a store, but
839
01:31:32,082 --> 01:31:34,999
there are only apples and pears.
840
01:31:34,999 --> 01:31:38,874
What are you doing ?
Aren't you going to another store?
841
01:31:38,874 --> 01:31:40,874
This metaphor is wrong,
842
01:31:40,874 --> 01:31:44,124
I am the owner of the store.
Why would I go elsewhere?
843
01:31:44,124 --> 01:31:48,249
If your residence is poorly managed,
then you complain that it is not secure,
844
01:31:48,249 --> 01:31:51,666
and the manager answers you:
“don't you feel safe? go away ! "
845
01:31:51,666 --> 01:31:53,416
- Would you go? - Wrong!
846
01:31:53,416 --> 01:31:56,666
You are not the owner, just
a resident in this apartment.
847
01:31:56,666 --> 01:32:01,374
Likewise, you will never
be the owner of this city.
848
01:32:01,374 --> 01:32:04,707
You just live here.
You are a resident.
849
01:32:04,707 --> 01:32:08,207
If we are not the
owners, then who?
850
01:32:08,207 --> 01:32:12,999
If you were really the masters here, you
wouldn't have gone to sleep on the streets.
851
01:32:12,999 --> 01:32:17,499
We did it precisely to show
that this city is our home.
852
01:32:17,499 --> 01:32:19,249
And after ?
853
01:32:19,249 --> 01:32:21,749
You occupied Central for 3 months.
854
01:32:21,749 --> 01:32:23,666
Did you see where we went earlier?
855
01:32:23,666 --> 01:32:26,707
There is nothing more,

01:32:39,249 --> 01:32:43,124
You can't change the world.
You can only change yourself.
861

Why should I change?

You think that if you have health,
you can dispense with principles or faith.

In this society, people think they
can sacrifice everything for money.

880

Some believe in Jesus, in
Buddha, others in the Law, in Money.

Our faith is different.

01:46:09,041 --> 01:46:11,041
What do you say about that?
1028
01:46:11,541 --> 01:46:15,207
♪ forgot to bring my brush.
The next time.
1029
01:46:15,999 --> 01:46:17,707
I'm joking.
1030
01:46:17,707 --> 01:46:19,332
Do you really think that
if you were the king you
1031
01:46:19,332 --> 01:46:23,916
would have needed to write
it on every street corner?
1032
01:46:24,457 --> 01:46:28,707
♪ wrote all over the
streets to tell people
1033
01:46:28,832 --> 01:46:31,791
That I am the King of Kowloon.
1034
01:46:32,499 --> 01:46:35,416
For years you have been
writing all over Kowloon,
1035
01:46:35,582 --> 01:46:37,207
Hong Kong Island
and the New Territories.
1036
01:46:37,374 --> 01:46:40,999
But look, there's nothing left today.
1037
01:46:40,999 --> 01:46:44,832
No more trace of your calligraphy.
1038
01:46:44,832 --> 01:46:46,832
What is the meaning of all this?
1039
01:46:47,999 --> 01:46:51,707
You hurt me, you know?
1040
01:46:51,999 --> 01:46:54,124
You all live in...
1041
01:46:54,582 --> 01:46:56,916
In a huge illusion.
1042
01:46:57,249 --> 01:47:00,791
You don't see the
past or the future.
1043
01:47:01,166 --> 01:47:04,082
You pass through this
world like shadows, pitifully
1044
01:47:04,082 --> 01:47:08,082
snatching a few moments
of insipid existence.
1045
01:47:08,249 --> 01:47:09,416
And you ?
1046
01:47:09,416 --> 01:47:15,666
You wrote everywhere
declaring your sovereignty.
1047
01:47:15,666 --> 01:47:18,082
But in my opinion,
1048
01:47:18,082 --> 01:47:22,332
you are just a patient who tries
to convince himself that he exists.
1049
01:47:22,374 --> 01:47:24,957
In addition, you come to call us
1050
01:47:24,957 --> 01:47:28,374
ghosts, while it is
you who are dead.
1051
01:47:29,499 --> 01:47:32,582
If you weren't a ghost
1052
01:47:32,624 --> 01:47:36,541
would you pay so much
attention to a sick person like me?
1053
01:47:36,541 --> 01:47:39,874
In the end, it's all
because I am the king.
1054
01:47:40,832 --> 01:47:44,499
And you undead need a king
1055
01:47:44,624 --> 01:47:49,416
to satisfy your vision of history.
1056
01:47:52,666 --> 01:47:55,124
That's all for today.
1057
01:47:55,207 --> 01:47:57,749
I'm tired, I'm going home.
1058
01:47:58,124 --> 01:47:59,791
No need to pay.
1059
01:47:59,874 --> 01:48:02,957
Uncle Tsang, I'm
telling you in all honesty,
1060
01:48:02,957 --> 01:48:05,707
it's an honor to have
driven you today.
1061

♪ finished my day.

01:55:14,749 --> 01:55:17,249
I am going in the same direction as you.

- Anywhere.
1064
01:55:20,499 --> 01:55:21,207
Sorry ?
1065
01:55:24,916 --> 01:55:27,749
It is all I have.
Take me anywhere.
1066
01:55:27,791 --> 01:55:32,082
When the money is out,
drop me off somewhere.
1067
01:55:32,416 --> 01:55:35,416
Why are there so many sick people in this world?
1068
01:55:36,457 --> 01:55:38,499
We cross the harbor, okay?
1069
01:55:38,541 --> 01:55:42,416
It doesn't matter. As long
as I don't get home, I'm fine.
