Laam goh lui cheung (2001) - full transcript

Sometimes in the 1980s,

Japanese have invented an influential
entertainment

Karaoke.

In Japanese, it means no-live-band.

Some years later,

some idiots give it a Chinese name

Ka-ra OK

Since karaoke was introduced to Hong Kong,

it nourishes and expands in every way possible.

Now, it is everywhere.

Atwenty four hours service,



genderless,

timeless, and ageless entertainment.

Karaoke makes dating easier.

He likes Karaoke.

And she likes Karaoke.

They soon come together; Karaoke together.

Yet, something comes fast and goes fast.

They soon break up.

Is there any real love in and out Karaokes?

No.

She once was The Queen of Karaoke

and logically, she should meet
The King of Karaoke.

Frankly speaking,

you're born to lead an ordinary life



and staying ordinary forthe rest of your life.

You're that type of person.

Wait to be fed, wait to shit, wait to sleep,

wait to age, and wait to die

No luck in any kind of human relationships,

no friends, no hope

You don't believe me?

Even though you don't believe your palm,

you should believe yourface.

Look at yourself, skinny as a skeleton.

Look at me and try to smile a little, smile...

Better...

Read more in your leisure.

Living in the global economic downturn,

you better upgrade yourself;

otherwise, you'll soon be faded out.

I haven't seen you for ages

and you have to give me a cold shower in
ourfirst meeting.

When are you going to have dinner with Kika?

Be nice, wouldn't you?

We can still be friends after break up, right?

Shouldn't you give yourfriend's girlfriend
the minimum respect?

You haven't apologized yet.

Tim

How're you? I miss you!

I love you, dear!

I've given it to you.

No, you still owe me a song!

No luck in human relationships,

no friends, no hope

Try reaching out the crowd

Smile, lovely! Smile...

Good morning!

Good morning, Charles!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning!

You're finally back!

Why so late though?

Just because you're here too early.

Your vest is beautiful!

Yes, thanks.

Celine, where did you go last night?

Shopping, with her.

Yep!

With her? Why didn't you tell me?

Just don't want to tell you. Leave us alone!

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm alright.

You better be careful next time.

You always spill things around.

Well, are you alright?

Yes.

No, burning by cold coffee will hurt very much.

Go to the hospital, then.

Yes, go to the hospital.

No, I'll be okay after awhile.

No, call the ambulance!

I help you to dial.

Calling the ambulance is great.

You don't need to go.

Where is King?

In the bathroom.

What bathroom?

Half an hour ago, he's in the bathroom.

Take such a long time,

he could have given birth to a child!

Isn't it right, huh?

Yes.

Yes what? Have you given birth to a child?

Yes is right and No is right too.

Stick to your cup!

I'm not joking!

If I don't see him within 15 minutes,

ask him neverto return again.

Call him, hurry up!

What's the number?

9432-2832

Hurry up...

Get up!

Get up, get up!

Get up...

Get up!

What time is it now?

Just past 15!

That early?

9:15!

That late? I'll go in the afternoon.

Get up!

You're not my mom

and not my wife either.

Why do you panic?

I can't get off work until you go to work.

Do you want me to use that trick again?

Go... You let go first...

OK...

Yourfather sings...

Hurry up!

OK...

Quick! Otherwise I'll turn off the tap!

Don't! Don't, please!

Well, I've to close the door.

Can I have some of your perfume?

Oh, it's that lemon odor again.

Can't you get the lily or something?

Can't you sleep elsewhere?

That's what I mean.

I live on the west of Tin Shui Wai

I'll come back by the plane at night

and taking another one to go to work
in the morning.

If I don't rest,

how can I work?

If you knew you have to work early,

please don't stay out the whole night.

Worst of all, you stay out most of the nights.

Not most of the nights, every nights!

Do you see I am under stress?

You know how my company is ready for
the stock market.

If I don't chill out in karaoke,

I'll definitely collapse.

If I collapse, so will the company.

If the company collapses...

If you don't go in a minute,
you'll collapse!

You're too stressed out.

You need to go Karaoke and chill out a bit.

I'm going.

Get out!

Yourfather sings...

This is your life.

You can kill for a bag of tissue,

do you understand?

Although...

Lock the door?

Don't lock the door!

What's up?

Did everybody see it?

Thank you, $5 for each.

Let's have you...

Sorry, Stephen, it was my friend's birthday.

Everyday is yourfriend's birthday...

That's how I yell at them too...
That's just not the way that it is!

I've said it. Lf you don't show up within
15 minutes,

you better not show up ever again.

I'm not joking at all.

You go away!

We've known each otherfor a decade and now,

you're asking me to go away?

Well, your suit is particularly good looking today.

It's loose at the back but

shape your 24-inches waist.

22-inches!

No wonder!

In comparison to yesterday's,

this one looks a lot better.

It's the same one as yesterday's! You go away!

You and I are GM...

No!

I'm General Manager,
you're General Messenger.

You go away!

Alright, everyone...

General Manager, give me a chance, please.

Auntie has cooked for you.

Do you remember auntie? My mom...

Behave yourself!

If you don't help yourself, I can't help you.

I'm not joking at all.

This is your last chance.

Go on now, if there's next time, I'll get you gone!

You're too nice, how can you be a manager?

Celine! Dion!

Work, good...

Ask me if you want to know which
Karaoke has the exclusive songs.

For Andy, Leon and Kelly,

their exclusive are in Red Socks.

Whereas Aaron, Eason and Elva,

theirs will be at the Coalition, check it out!

Ricky! Martin!

Pick up your phone!

Your phone.

King Wong's speaking.

Mr. Wong,

this's the credit card dept of
Chase Manhattan Bank.

Your payment term... Yes, a second please.

...is expired, we hope you...

Oh man,

don't you just give me any calls!

How many times do I have to repeat myself?

Come on, you gonna pay back, charge it up!

So quick?

How many extras have you printed out?

3 or 6.

3.

How many times do I have to say it,

Don't copy the porno pages.

That's not for you to read;

It's for you to go there!

So what now?

Do I have to go to the Resource Department again?

Resource Department!

Hi, my name is Olive, I'm new here.

I'm Chu Wai Tak, welcome.

Can I have some pencils?

Don't you have them on your desk?

Those can't write.

OK.

Yes, the ink ran out fast.

Save as much as you can.

Bitch, you scare them!

Hi, Olive. I'm King.

Hi The King of Karaoke is me.

I'm the GM here.

Let me know if you need help in the
pantry or copying.

Don't be shy.

Try not to be the invisible in the company.

How to be outstanding?

You're imitating me!

I wish I can.

You're always bragging, drawing attention and all.

You see, how popular I am,

and you, how invisible you are.

Do you know that many colleagues complained
about you.

They turn back, you just vanish! How creepy!

Well, don't worry.

I'm not one of those bastards.

All I have is care and respect for you.

I have even composed a song for you.

Chu Wai...

I... love you...

You have printed out the extra?

Please fill in the form.

You've a talent to perform.

You should join the Singing Contest.

Do you want me to join?

I will, right a way.

But if I fill in this one...,

...I can't fill in that one.

I need a whole day just to fill in one form.

The paperthat I owe you...

Go with the company rules,

don't give me a hard time.

Who's talking to me?

You, better not to you beg on me.

Invisible!

Don't give me a hard time.

Everyone, please be reminded that this person.

Don't give me a hard time.

You better watch out!

Don't give me a hard time!

Everyone, please note that

a newcomer, Olive, is on board.

And we're going to have

a welcoming lunch with her.

We'll wait at the entrance in 10 seconds.

Excuse me... its'the VIP here.

Excuse me.

Do you have a room?

If you don't give me a room,

you're at risk of losing a customer.

Your business will at least drop half.

She's deaf; you wait.

Alright! Alright!

Is there any table?

We've been waiting for so long.

Go somewhere else!

You two, I've told you...

Lunch is not our concern,

we want a room no matter what.

Yes, lunch here is cheap.

Forget it, let's go else where.

Don't worry, I've an idea.

It's expensive and we can't karaoke else where.

I'll call up a friend.

Ah Shui, which room?

Where's it? I'll be right there!

Is it Room 135 or 35?

It's Room 35, right?

Alright, I'll be there!

I'll be there soon.

Wait for me.

No more tables.

I'm sorry.

You've nevertried Noon-K?

Noon-K is so different from Night-K.

You see, they've to eat.

They don't have that much time to karaoke

and all they've is one song.

If you behave, you'll have two.

First, songs' length can't be over 3.5 minutes.

Second, no songs are allowed to be inserted.

You have to yell when your song is coming up.

If you call on someone's song,

you have to line up again.

A duet is not good.

Two persons are singing only one song.

Don't you worry, if you want to sing,

I'll get you the microphone, no matter what.

Whose?

Mine!

What's up?

Where's the microphone?

What are you doing?

What's up?

Forget it.

Do you think you can trick me?

After all, I'm the King of Karaoke.

Remote, microphone, we'll do it.

Hey boy,

you can't bring anything personal to Noon-K

Hey boy,

you can't take away our microphone and...

...remotes in Noon-K either,

nor can you cut my song just like that!

What's up!

Come on, please.

No, thanks.

I'll sing for you.

Please lift up the key.

Lift up the volume too.

Turn off the echo.

The sole secret in milky way

is in the most influential hero.

Loyal friend with honesty and

bravery are his never changing qualities.

Seven Sixes in the world,

Seven perverts in

an evil night.

Savior of the world safeguards the human race

and looks afterthe universe.

This symphony...

Hi, friends!

Monsters are escaping.

Why don't you sing?

Still go on?

Really?

You give me twenty and I'll buy you lunch.

I'm just joking.

I only sang one song.

Hurry up!

Hurry up, it's time for work!

You go and get the bill!

Shit!

What's wrong?

I forgot the microphone.

Microphone?

Wait for me...

Wait in lonesome until the night comes.

Tonight is cold.

And the night is dark.

When you are choosing,

someone else is choosing you too.

Justice...

What the hell? Her score is higherthan me?

Manager!

Your call.

I told you that I'm selective in taking calls.

I don't know whatever K...

Sorry, bad reception.

Say that one more time...

Mr. Wong, congratulations!

We've accepted your application to
The King of Karaoke Contest.

I'll be The King of Karaoke soon.

Celine,

you don't have to come if you don't have time.

Dion, don't forget the gift coupons!

Olive!

Thank you!

Invisible!

Everyone has signed, except you.

How do you feel?

I promise I'll let you interview me!

Aren't you happy?

Yes, I won't mind yourflowers either!

Ricky! Martin!

Monstrous slave,

monstrous slave.

One from east, anotherfrom west

one from east, anotherfrom west

will be judged.

Hands on the head backing up,

they'll be crushed in less than 10 seconds.

Are you sure it goes that way?

Someone...

Did you see it?

Can't you see I'm practicing?

I'm in a contest!

Hey, I'm in too!

Ridiculous!

I'm serious.

So what?

The problem is when someone else is round,
I can't sing!

Take it off, your spectacles, take it off!

This is my personal gift!

Can you see me?

Where are you?

Alright!

Wait in lonesome until the night comes.

This is it.

Don't be too proud. Look at the subtitles.

Tonight is cold.

Three sixes.

Three sixes?

Are they singing really?

Stephen, cut it out!

From now on, I maybe a super star.

Just kidding, I'm coming now!

Right now!

You look very smart.

You look wild!

Lung-Kei Li.

Tina Carto.

This kind of dance is very popular...

...in To Kwa Wan.

Is it Para Para?

It was first popular in Shan Shui Po.

Let me introduce, Steve Wonder.

Don't play trick on me!

Today's outfit...

It'll look better without that top inside.

But it's alright.

I heard them calling your name just then.

But you weren't here and so they said...

Chu Wai Tak, you can go home now.

Really?

You really believe me?

Come on! I'm very nervous already!

You spat?

Nasty!

You don't have a stapler.

Have you filled in the form?

You haven't filled in the form of course you
don't have a stapler.

Mr. King Wong Right here.

You're next.

My turn, my turn!

Time to learn!

No, I don't wanna scare you.

Use mine first. It's on the table.

Hi, judges.

I surely respect the organization.

And you still have $8 left.

Judges are very experienced, just as I expected.

You can start now!

Hi, everyone at the back!

Please go ahead, Mr. Wong.

Excuse me, what's the channel here?

Because my microphone...

Use ours! Please!

The brands of your speakers are...

The sole secret in milky way

is in the most influential hero.

Loyal friend with honesty and

bravery are his never changing qualities.

Best in the world, defeating all monsters,

he punished all demons.

Savior of the world safeguards the human race

and looks afterthe universe.

Chu Wai Tak, you're next.

This symphony...

No.19,King Wong is finished with his
performance!

Thanks a lot!

Performing after me is your bad luck.

I'm the judge... No, I'm Chu Wai Tak.

Hi, judges.

My selected song is Wait.

You may start now.

Hold on.

You look much better now.

I'll surely take care of you

since we're friends after all.

Please start.

Are you alright?

Poor you. You look terrible just then!

I don't know what they colleagues will say...

...if they see your performance.

I'll keep it a secret if you give me $5000.

Are you putting me down?

$5000 is nothing!

I don't have that much, take half!

Alright.

You bastard!

You didn't keep your word aftertaking my money!

You gave me half the price,

and I told only half the story.

Am I professional enough?

As for another half of your story...

King Wong's speaking.

Hold on a second...

Everyone, my moment is about to come.

You may speak.

Mr. Wong,

We're calling from The King of Karaoke Contest,

you've broken ourtable ten glasses...,

...and ourtiles. When you were interviewed

last time.

And the total is...

Oh, you've also taken half dozen of beers.

The total is $3,700.

Money is not the issue here.

I wanna know when is the final competition

because I need to arrange my schedule.

Ourfinal competition is on September 2.

But it's none of your business because
you aren't in.

Do you expect me to pay if I'm not in?

What kind of service is that?

This is The good is paid back for
their good deeds.

An innocent young man almost falls into the trap.

2 glasses and...

...some beers have tested out their integrity.

This world is fair.

Go, go to Macau.

Alright, 7 p.m.

7p.m.? Now is much cheaper. Let's go!

Is that cheaper now?

Yes, let's go!

Don't you have to work?

Go!

What kind of leisure have you got, going out in
your working hours?

Alright, I'll follow the procedures and apply for
a half-day leave.

And I invite you to come along.

Permission is not granted!

Unreasonable suppression! I'm on a strike!

If you step out this door, you are fired!

I'm on fire!

Bye-bye!

I'm serious!

Have you gone to Macau?

I wanna ask you something.

Say it, quick!

I really bought the tickets!

I'm in!

That's proves how dishonest the
entertainment industry is!

Do you know why I got in?

Of course, I was there too.

Those judges must be either deaf or blind.

I'm not discriminating the disables

but the judges are real retards!

Do you recall one of the judges,

the woman with a big mouth?

I knew her.

We get along well.

I knew that your song was a copy.

I'm dedicating this song forthe
birthday of boy Tim.

Wait...

Is that Waiting for you?

I don't care, I'm telling you...

What's up?

Wait...

Yourfriend... Sing!

Go home!

Do you sing?

Go home!

Alright!

This is the real kind of singing.

She lets me in because she wants...

...to embarrass me forthe second time!

But I don't want to be embarrassed anymore!

Right, this is the right kind of attitude!

You cannot lose your dignity.

Withdraw your application, then!

Wouldn't that turns out to be a bigger joke?

It's okay.

You've guts. You can do whatever you want.

Why don't you train me?

Make me a confident individual who can perform
in front of others.

We're all adults

and civilized, right?

We are not in any kind of relationships.

And surely, that won't happen, right?

If you want my help,

that's gonna cost you.

How much?

$300 or $3000?

Debts from 3 credit cards.

3 credit cards? Too expensive?

Give me a reason.

Why do I have to help you?

I'm fragile...

I don't have friends.

Everyone in the company makes me an invisible.

I feel like I'm all alone and useless.

Bye-bye!

If you don't teach me, I'll learn by myself!

Start!

I don't feel well today.

That's it.

You can't learn everything by yourself!

Debts from 3 credit cards is the tuition fee.

Not everyone can give you such kind of lesson...

Stephen!

What are you coming back for?

Work, I'm prompt today.

You were fired yesterday.

Your suit is as good as the one you
wore yesterday!

22-inches waist.

No more kidding.

You were fired yesterday!

I know what I should do.

Do you remember Auntie?

The one who makes you ginseng chicken soup!

The one who asks you to take care of his son!

I now beg you in the name of your Auntie.

I beg you not to beg me.

I'm fired too.

No more kidding!

I'm fired, just like you.

We love the company and the company loves us.

Look how much you all care about me!

This is not the silent tribute but silent support.

Is Mr. King Wong here?

Even outsiders are giving me the silent support.

Who are you looking for?

Mr. Wong.

We've an invoice for him.

I want to check it with him.

What's this all about?

They're after my debts.

They don't look like it.
They look pretty civilized.

If they're civilized when they're in suit,

all girls must be pretty if they work in
beauty salons!

Give me some money!

Give it to you?

Hush down,

would you? Can you borrow me then?

Give me a reason. Why do I have to help you?

Please don't play tricks on me!

What?

Alright, can we help each other out?

I guarantee you after my training,

you'll be able to sing in front of 20,000 people
in the stadium.

Really?

Really.

How much?

$8000.

You owe them $8000?

You can borrow it from the colleagues.

I know but I owe them all now.

Owing only a couple of thousands...

If I don't have the new card, how can I pay off
the old cards' debt?

Who on earth don't have debts?

I never owe anyone or anything.

You're not from the earth.

But I've faith in you.

If you join the contest, you will surely win.

After you won, we'll split the prize.

Why?

I'm now a socialite.

A socialite is teaching you!

Who doesn't know me, King Wong?

Miss, do you know who I am?

King Wong.

I didn't cheat you, did I? And so?

30%.

I hate bargaining with women.

35%. Deal!

When does the training start?

When we perform...

especially the beginners,

they've to stand in front of the crowd.

5 reactions from the crowd:

Yell, cheer down, degrade, tease, critilize.

But we should remain devoted,

like listening to ourfavorite songs.

Go overthat side...

and tell me what they're singing.

What's it? What do they say?

It's too vulgar. I can't say it.

Don't say the exact words but tell me the content.

What's new? Going or not?

That's very vulgar.

That's it!

Big improvement. It's alright so far.

Look at me.

What're you doing? Staring?

When we perform, the audience love this...

Having some guts.

You look right into them when you're up the stage.

They'll think that you've guts.

And even if you sing sucks, they'll assume
that you're good.

Even if you look terrible, they'll think that
you're awesome.

And in this case, you're of course...

Iovely at all times.

Ice tea.

You ordered iced tea, sir.

Sir, did you order ice tea?

Anything else, sir?

Sorry sir, I took a look at your girlfriend.

I'll buy you the iced tea. Sorry.

If I'm in good shape,

I could stare in return of a free dinner.

Look at me and stare. Concentrate!

Right, use up your energy even there's none.

Think about coffee, tea, and curry beef.

Look at that side.

Now, walk over.

Stare until you get the toast forfree.

Toast is hard;

can I go forthe glass of water instead?

I only have the coke in return.

Don't worry, you've bet on all horses.

Miss, I don't know you.

No, be more concentrate!

Energy! Energy!

Let go the stock! All of them!

Right, Round 4, No.7!

Miss, are your eyes alright?

I can introduce you a doctor!

Am I good enough?

I can even get a doctor in return!

Don't loosen up!

Face the crowd and be more concentrate!

This...

Damn it! Can't you cede the old ones?

You bitch!

I get in the wrong way.

You're so brutal!

Good, don't be proud, look at that side!

Thanks.

Take the umbrella then!

Thanks.

I live in the west of Tin Shui Wai.

And it's raining again tonight.

I think it's betterto take a cab.

As an respectful apprentice,

You'll have to help.

Money again?

Look at me and say it out loud!

You want money again?

Good!

I've put in some effort...

...in strengthening you after all.

It'll be deducted next time.

$200?

Take the bus!

What's up?

Shit, all your energy is gone!

You need more overtime!

At night, most people are more fragile than usual.

If you can conquerthe night,

we're closerto our goal.

Alright, forthe sake of ourtraining,

moving around is nothing.

That's it.

My landlord knows that I've to train you
at night and he dissents.

That's why I didn't pay my rent.

And consequently, he kicks me out.

Basically, I gave up the house for you.

But I didn't care less.

Forthe sake of training... rest more.

Didn't you say we've to do the overtime training?

Yeah and you did strengthen your guts
tonight since

you let me in in the middle of the night.

You've some guts and that's a big improvement.

Take a rest...

1 ' 2 ' 1

My landlord knows that I've to train you
in the tuition fee too?

No, that'll be deducted when you get the prize.

Here is hot!

I'm almost burned; you can eat me now!

If you don't have money forthe air-condition,

why bother renting a house?

I didn't rent it; I bought it.

I think it's cool here and that's why I bought it.

I feel it.

I'm going to work. Don't touch anything.

Go on, go to work!

I don't touch others' stuff.

So much letters, are these love letters?

No way, how could that be?

What is this?

A suck will give you a longer life span?

Do you think it works?

What can you do?

What are you doing? Seducing me?

English novels, wanna-be intellect!

Nothing interesting.

What is it in there?

Denny Chan.

Denny Chan and...

Pile of trash!

What good stuff does it have?

Favorite Greatest Hits?

Show time!

Leaving your love one with a kiss.

Louder, baby!

A wrong decision only gives
me a life-long sadness.

Why do you do this?

If you knew it's heart-breaking?

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning! Good morning!

Good morning! Good morning!

Good morning! Good morning!

Good morning! Good morning!

Are you alright?

Did we do anything upset you?

So sorry. Sorry...

Nothing, get back to work!

You whole life fills with tragedies.

King Wong's speaking,

you don't have to suspect. I'm not in your room.

Suspecting won't help; it only wears me out.

Success!

They no longertreat me as the invisible!

They're now respectful, no...

They respect me yet scared of me.

Of course, it's all due to my training.

Talk to me when you're back.

You tape it over? You're doomed.

You recorded over my tape? You're surely dead.

Good, scary eyes.

You win...

Your air-condition and

electricity will be deduced in the tuition fee.

You're too much.

Yes, deduct it from the prize.

What're we training today?

Oh please, go and practice!

Playing such way will get you no wife!

I'm asking you what is ourtraining today?

It's finished...

We'll start it now!

Look at these No.7.

Use the most vulgar language to enlighten them.

The most vulgar language?

Bastard!

Yelling takes a lot of curses and poison.

Use the worst kind of poison.

Stupid pancake!

Is that too mean?

Good enough?

You graduated. Already?

Get some rest, go!

You go home for your wife!

You hear me or not?

Getting married will not get you anywhere.

Shitty players!

What's wrong again?

Go!

Where?

Go to Karaoke and practice!

Karaoke? You think I'm some idiots or what?

If I go there, I'll probably end up
paying your bills.

Don't waste my time!

I'm not cheating you.

Alright, let's do it here!

Do you have any music?

Any instruments?

Just give me anything and I'll play the melody.

Anything!

Any instrument, right?

Lute?

With strings, what's so difficult about it?

Prince is in the shower...

What're you up to now?

Wrong key...

This string is no good.

God knows how long you've kept it.

It's...

It's all yourfault.

You trap me here all night.

Going to Karaoke with you is the worst case.

It's all yourfault.

Chicken is a fault.

I've told you.

It's all yourfault.

Saving is a fault.

Don't you say you know me at all.

How would my reputation...

got ruined in your hands.

If you're not confident in singing,

don't blame me fortaking your advantages.

My motto goes, If you want it, do it.

It has never been too much.

If you aren't good looking and hot,

please don't come to me at all.

In fact, you aren't that chicken,

going there all alone.

You can too.

Me?

Good morning.

Take a break. No training today.

It's okay.

Let's go shopping!

We...

King Wong. Yeah, Ricky...

Alright, I'll be there on time.

What's up? Can you tell me?

Someone wants a battle with me tonight.

Battle on drinks?

You can handle it.

Not battle on drinks.

Fighting?

Singing.

I'm sure you will sing well.

Usually, I don't take those small potatoes
into account.

I'm going for your sake.

Me?

I can't. How can I?

I can't, really...

You always say you can't.

Remember, you're no longer Chu Wai Tak.

Wai Tak Chu is not you anymore!

Forget about you. You're not Chu Wai Tak!

Is that clear?

Who am I?

Anyone but not Chu Wai Tak!

You're Thai tonight.

Your name is Chai-Chai-Poi.

I don't know Thai though.

It's simple, end every sentence with

ma, chai, ma sai, ka...

Try to open your mouth, as much as you can!

Let's rehearse a bit. Let's say...

Have you eaten... Chai?

Chai!

Try the whole sentence.

Have you eaten Chai?

That's right. One more time!

Have you eaten Chai?

Are you full Nai?

Are you full Nai?

Full MA?

Full Ma?

Try!

Bring this one and you'll sing this one.

Good, come on. 1, 2, 3.

Let's go.

Take a look at my place.

Seducing around?

Ricky!

Don't pickup girls.

I'm sorry for rescuing you.

New face.

A super model from Thailand.

She is the cover girl. Don't you recognize her?

No.

No?

No.

Chai-Chai-Poi, Kakako?

What do you think?

Sit Ka.

Sit Ka.

What do you think? Where's he from?

Just show up recently.

What're the specialties?

Good capacity.

Weakness?

No, very tall.

It's a real competitor.

What's his name?

Siu Sai Wan Andy Lau, have you heard of it?

Siu Sai Wan Andy Lau?

Call me Andy!

I'm King, The King of Karaoke.

Never heard of it, which district?

Special Administrative Region.

2 songs is the quota!

I'll sing one

and leaving anotherto my Thai friend
Chai-Chai-Poi.

Don't worry,

I'll show them what's the right kind of singing.

It'll be easierfor you.

Don't worry.

Please leave your credit card first.

How much will it cost if I have to buy
everybody a drink?

Do you have enough cash?

Made in Germany, 12 ounces.

Atitanium handle leaving

no risk of slipping the microphone.

Speaker is sensitive.

And the batteries are enough for 12 hours.

The best of all is the anti-smoke system

which makes it The King of Microphone.

Nothing could have replaced it.

American hi-tech limited edition.

Smallest in the world.

You can hang it on clothes or your private parts.

You can still light up a cigarette!

Damn it! The King of Karaoke?

Hey, I'm sure this is enough!

Can you sing now?

Lift up the key please.

Lift up a tone!

Can you turn up the front speakers' volume?

Turn up the volume and cut half of the master.

Turn off the echo.

Turn off the bass.

Turn off the air-condition.

Turn off the lights!

Turn off the subtitles!

Turn off the monitor!

What else do you want to turn off?

Turn off the music!

Don't sing if you want to turn off the music!

If you don't sing, I'll go!

Oh! My Crystal!

She's still the best!

No!

Oh... Although you're jealous,

you can't get her committed.

Dear! My Crystal!

She's only good with me.

When you finished, it's my turn.

We become slaves to each other.

Who will go alone?

I want you to give up.

But my expectation maybe too high.

Hatred stands between us.

We want to win all her love.

Yet, you're the source of my anger.

Come on...

It's alright. Not too bad!

Last time, the Shan Shui Po Leon was worse.

After he finished, he needed first aid!

Isn't it the best with me?

Bravo!

Now, it's yourturn!

You've to know.

If you get in the contest, you'll surely win.

If you pass this one, you can win!

And I'll have the prize!

In the worst case, I may give in myself.

Remember.

There is no Chu Wai Tak tonight.

You're Chai-Chai-Poi Ka.

Chai-Chai-Poi Ka?

You're Chai-Chai-Poi.

No, are you alright?

It has been 50 seconds now!

My dad needs a rest.

How could that be?

My friend is from Thailand!

Who will sing with her?

You still have me.

Who are you?

Yau Tong Elva Siu.

Ms Siu, what song are you singing?

It's up to her.

It's all yourfault.

She uses Thai and you uses Cantonese.

Is that alright?

Whatever.

Chai-Chai-Poi, No.1.

Chai-Chai-Poi, go!

4 are puking.

What's wrong?

If you don't know Thai, sing Chinese.

You know it!

Lmposter!

Do you know what I'm saying?

Pretending to be a Thai.

I'm a Chinese-Thai. You better go home!

No way!

No way! Winning three times in one goal?

Have you finished puking?

Am I useless?

No, come on, let's have a drink!

I don't drink!

A drink is nothing, Chai-Chai-Poi!

Again!

Have you forgotten everything?

You should remember some.

I only rememberthree sixes, drink!

After you were drunk last night,

you were awesome,

In front of the crowd.

Dancing and singing all at once.

Really?

But it's useless now since you forgot everything.

It's alright. Tonight, I'll bring you there again.

And I'll record it

so that you can see how awesome you were.

And all your confidence will come back.

That's why we have to get a really nice camera,

the digital camera.

And obviously it won't be cheap.

Since I've some experience with camera...

I'm taking $300 an hour, is that okay?

Are you sleeping now?

Is that okay if it's $300 for half an hourthen?

Come on... You alright now?

No!

How come? You were drunk last time
after a glass!

Now you've finished half a dozen already
but still not drunk.

My video camera will be out of battery soon!

I'm not ready yet.

Excuse me, beer please!

Are we done?

Excuse me, beer please!

Stop drinking and sing first!

Sing... hurry up!

What're you doing?

How come you've so many scales?

You aren't making a violin, are you?

You don't have it here. Why do you cut it here?

I don't want anyone to see it.

Really?

I can't fall in love.

If I do, I've to cut myself.

So many wounds...

I did this one when I was fifteen.

And this one was fourteen, ten, and eighteen...

Did you fall in love when you were two?

Don't you get drunk now, you haven't sung yet!

Your dad sings...

What the hell! How dare you sing without me?

No.

Are you guys here to barbecue?

Alright, I'll go barbecue too. This room...

I said no!

What are you yelling for?

Are you joking?

And then?

I'm not joking with you!

So what?

I'm in a bad mood!

Cashier is that way, get out!

I'm the manager here!

You're always the GM, how come you
become a KM here?

I'm broke when I'm jobless!

Please get out of my sight!

Go home for your wife!

Yes, sing... come on!

Why are you standing in front of the TV?

I'm singing!

I've to work!

Calm! Calm!

Don't go!

I'll let you sing... you stay calm!

Manager! Get out of here!

Calm down, miss!

Get out!

Calm down... help!

Help! Stay calm!

Calm down!

Sing, please go ahead...

Get up.

Get up. Time for work!

I can't stand it anymore.

Sorry.

You haven't paid for all I've done for you.

A hundred something, don't you dare to
mess around!

August 27?

Oh, my god!

King, thank you very much!

I haven't celebrated my birthday for ages.

Be serious, don't let go!

Are you happy? Say yes if you are.

Yes.

Where're you?

I'm not checking on you.

All I want to know is where you are.

Why don't you tell me if you aren't coming
back for dinner?

I'm not asking you to call a dozen times a day
but at least...

you can call once a day!

Is that so difficult?

I'm not giving you attitude.

I just wanna know where you are!

Forget it, when are you coming back?

What do you mean by you don't know?

Sorry...

No, I'll wait until you come home.

It's okay. I can't sleep anyways.

I really can't sleep!

No, I'll wait for you!

What...

Oh no, god!

We didn't hate each other.

And we don't owe anything to each other.

Homeless spirits,

please don't trick on me!

Not me, I'm still young and all!

Let's go!

So annoying!

Nowadays, the civilized are dysfunctional!

They like to throw things out of the window.

What would she get mad?

How would I know?

You were in a hurry looking for me;

what was it all about?

It's nothing.

Do you think that I was in a hurry
looking for you?

Are you shopping with friends?

Are you shopping with friends?

I was having dinner with my old friend.

Old friend?

Oh, your ex-lover.

Are you lying or what?

I need to talk to him.

Of course, you need to.

You obviously have the need, especially on
your birthday.

What're you implying?

I'm searching for a way to get you in the contest!

I've neverthought of getting in though.

Thanks.

Why did you chuck the cake?

You buy it yet chuck it. What a waste!

Thank you.

Are you in love with me?

No.

So why are you so nice to me?

Being nice to you is now meaningless.

I love you but you don't, how embarrassing!

I am in love with you.

Are you in love with me?

No.

So why are you so nice to me?

Being nice to you is now meaningless.

I love you but you don't, how embarrassing!

There's no way that I'll fall in love with you.

And you shouldn't love me either.

Falling in love with an artist, like me,

will not get you anything.

If you were to fall for me, that would be worse.

And so I don't care whether you understand.

You should though. Do you understand?

Yes.

Thanks.

The numbers aren't right.

I've given some extra cash prize.

We'll talk about it later...

If there's extra, take the money and
go rent a house!

Get a job for god sake!

Take care.

Go ahead and practice!

Remember, you've to get in the final!

Be mature!

Got it?

Why?

Think, why?

Well, not everything is explanatory.

But then you're sophisticated!

Everything should start with a cause or reason.

You've A because you've B.

Or Mary, Lucy, Ming...

Anyways, there should be a reason to it.

I really don't understand.

You're so doomed that now you're the toilet guard.

Why are you still in suit?

It's all yourfault!

If your girlfriend didn't cause all that trouble,

how could I end up here?

Wait, she may want to be my girlfriend.

But I told her already.

I won't love her.

And I won't let her love me.

It's impossible, understand?

That's good.

Good.

Good!

Good.

I said good.

No.

After she was rejected, she was very calm.

That's good.

That's good. She was calm.

No wonder your name is idiot!

When those desperate women fail,

they usually commit suicide.

They all look calm before they commit suicide.

Psychologically, this is a kind a mental reflex.

And the exact term is mental reflex syndrome.

Have you heard of it?

I know, the mental reflex syndrome.

Don't look at me in this way!

I'm not your...

I help her because she is preparing for
the contest.

She got in and that's why I help her.

If she wins, I'll have my cash prize.

I didn't ask you.

Why do you have to tell me all these?

Do you have something that you didn't confess?

Don't get into my personal problems, alright?

Well, I'm helping her so do me a favor.

Let me finish...

When the whole thing is over, I'll give you 10%.

I won't have time looking after her!

This is a very busy job.

Many people come and go.

And 80% of those visit for quite a long time.

You're so leisure yourself,

why don't you go look after her?

OK. I knew you've got something behind this.

20% and that's the most!

No...

Please, I'll beg you!

Get up and tell me all about it.

Please! Get up first!

Please don't beg me!

I've to work!

That's right. Before and after you go to work,

you can go check up on her.

20%, a favor, for once please!

Once. No...

It's a hard work!

Please, once. I said no!

Once... No!

Don't get me wrong. She started it.

She got on.

Follow her, keep an eye on her.

She's moving all the time, getting on and off.

I don't care,

you bettertail her

for at least 24 hours.

I want her safe until the contest, okay?

Why don't you do it yourself?

You know I lost my job again.

And it's all yourfault!

I still have to go interview!

I'm much busierthan you.

Are you ready, girls?

Yeah!

Right... afterthe warm up,

I want you dancers

standing around Chu Wai Tak.

Dancing around her and

make sure she doesn't see the audience.

And that's how she'll win.

Good, are you all clear?

Now you dance around me.

Assume that I'm Chu Wai Tak!

Stop! Stop!

Thanks.

Ricky

Your goal is to block the sight of Chu Wai Tak.

Chu Wai Tak is tall. Why do you bend down?

Don't you have other postures?

Yes.

Let's try it.

Good! Ricky, thanks!

Squatting is a kind of dance, you know?

Martin, your posture is very successful

in putting me into sleep.

Do you have other postures?

Yes. Try it...

I understand. Very good!

Good job, everyone!

Get up and one more time!

Leaving your love one with a kiss

A wrong decision only gives me a
life-long sadness

Why do you do this

if you knew it's heart-breaking?

Is that it?

Yes, I taped over yourtape.

You should send this to the production house.

But you prefer leaving it in the box.

This is a talent murder!

And you also murder my cash prize.

Remember, don't turn back!

Wait...

Of course I'll bet Manchester United win!

Anyways, don't you turn back. Don't be afraid.

There's faith in yourself and

failures can't take that away!

It rhymes!

You still have 15 minutes, hurry up!

Be quick, would you?

Have you got Celine?

Celine?

Celine and Dion, where are you?

What time are you coming?

What? Your bride mate is getting married?

You can go next time!

Andy Lau's concert? Do you have extra tickets?

No, but you said you would be here on time!

It's okay.

You stick to your own position
and you jump higher!

Alright,1, 2, 3,4

1 ' 2 ' 3 ' 4...

Stephen

Where's she?

She isn't out yet!

Force her out!

How? Use a trumpet?

Make her!

Open the door! I know you're inside!

Open up! I'm calling the police if you don't!

Someone commits suicide!

You aren't getting your chips at this
moment, are you?

Have you forgotten something?

Alright, no more jokes.

Get change, it's almost time!

What for going there?

I can't sing in front of them.

What do you mean by you can't sing?

I've arranged everything for you!

Your colleagues will stand in front of you

blocking you from the audience.

And so you can sing!

If you can sing, you'll surely win!

If you win, I'll have the cash prize.

Do you understand?

Take the money that you owe me
as the prize then!

Why are you so panic?

Money is not an issue here.

It's about your personality and character.

You need faith in yourself.

Why are you running away?

Am I running away or are you?

Look at me.

Look at me!

What's wrong?

I'll give you one more chance to speak up.

Are you in love with me?

Alright, I... you. Is that alright?

What did you say? I can't hear.

Say it one more time or I'm not going.

Alright, I will say it clearly.

I'm not running away and

I'm confronting to you.

I... you.

Get change, alright?

Hurry up!

Bloody hell, what for saving that $15?

Only a couple of blocks away. Save it up!

I can't even breathe. How can I sing?

I'm okay.

How can I go in when I'm choking?

Come on, deep breath... alright...

Feeling better?

Better.

Give me a second.

Calm down, look at others... Chu Wai Tak.

Thank you...

Come on... No.10, Chu Wai Tak.

Not No.10, but Chu Wai Tak anyways!

Hi, everybody up there!

I'm her agent, King Wong.

Thanks! Thank you!

Eye contact... what are you staring at?

Miss, it's yourturn.

Remember, eye contact, very important!

Chai-Chai-Poi?

Miss, I think you made a mistake.

My girls, Chu Wai Tak.

Pak Tin Kelly Chen.

Aren't you Yau Tong Elva Siu?

It's you again!

I knew she's gonna lose!

Competing the younger generation!

You're not the younger generation.

You're the younger idiot!

Do you want more?

You're not serious for us.

Alright, cut the crap!

Damn it, new generation...

Are you saying that I'm old?

Go to hell!

Right, keep the spirit up!

When it comes to age, you women...

What're you saying?

What're you looking at?

It's all yourfault; care is a fault.

You've to know that I'm happy all alone!

It's all yourfault; decisive is a fault.

You still come and comfort me...

New generation? Bullshit!

It's all yourfault, sacrifice is a fault.

Be more proud!

More!

That's too much.

Who're you? What's your name?

Never seen you before.

I'm Au dience.

Audience!

Very humourous.

Audience can't come in, do you know that?

He's my caretaker.

What do you need a caretakerfor?

You should get one too!

Don't worn out yourself!

Let's go. I'm telling you now.

Besides the candidates and staff,

no one is coming in.

Don't give me a hard time!

Don't you touch me!

Million pairs of eyes, what can you do to me?

Are you nuts? So many people...

Ask your managerto come out!

Nuts...

It hurts, man! Slowly...

Li Lon Kei.

Martin Carto.

I'm happy to see you in the final.

Frankly speaking, I didn't get in!

Entertainment is a dishonest industry.

But then, I still want to see it.

Hello!

You're here as well!

Go for it!

I'll.

You will what?

This is a professional contest.

You better get ready before going up to the stage!

Don't get anymore embarrassed!

Go away!

I said I will!

OK...

Good, we'll watch the performance.

What's up?

Not too bad. I saw it.

Though you're nervous'

you look full of confidence.

Your confidence will give you power!

Keep that power and get me the cash prize!

Alright, I'll stay with the audience.

Look at me and you'll be able to sing.

OK?

OK!

This suit looks good on you.

And the lace is rare!

Ready.

What's your name?

Li Lon Kei.

That's Li Lon Kei too.

He's Li Lo but I'm Li Kei.

Our group is Li Lon Kei.

Very funny, huh?

Do you think I won't recognize you?

Who do I look into when I sing?

Look at Li Lon Kei's Li Kei!

Excuse me...

Here... here...

No entrance.

Why not? We're dancers!

I don't care; no one is entering!

Don't jump in the line!

What line?

Are you lining up?

I want to win the first prize yet.

No one boss me and no need to work

Good...

It's yourturn. Go for it!

Chu Wai Tak? You're next.

Really yourturn.

Why are you numb? Sing!

Bitterness

slips into my veins.

Why do you blame

when you first broke his heart?

Leaving your love one with a kiss.

A wrong decision only gives me
a life-long sadness.

Why do you do this

if you knew it's heart-breaking?

Yet you wander as if you were happy.

Poor you!

Watching him leave you.

His footprints will leave a scare in your heart.

A scare that takes up your whole heart.

And you will...

fill your heart with sadness again.

Good!

Cash prize! Champion...

Everyone is around.

What're you afraid of?

New song!

What's up?

Who hides the microphone?

Am I The Queen of Karaoke?

Lift up a key and the speakers please.

Turn off the echo.
