My little brother...

He was loveable when young

I remember there was a stormy night

He came to my room

He get into my bed

He couldn't sleep the whole night

He said he was afraid...

Afraid that he will make me have a baby

I said he's silly

Girl and boy sleep together will have baby

I said don't worry about it

In the story book boy
and girl sleep will have baby

But, brother and sister... it won't

he was seven

and l was nine

You must love your brother very much

You reminded me so many of my memories

When my father died

He left me this house and some money

then when my brother grew up

He seems changed and became a wanderer

He left and never returned

Have you ever tried to find him?

It's useless

Sometime he was in England
and sometime in France

he doesn't need my help

and occasionally sends me a postcard

I missed him so much

| only have this house and some money

I saw you gamble, that's no good

Gambling will drag you to a dead end

And lose everything, that is no good

JacqueHne

You find out now

You...

I remember you'd said that

| cheated you

and you don't want to see me ever

you can repeat that line by now

Then I return to Hong Kong

I could not make into the films

Then I met them in front of the furniture shop

They wanted me to play an act in real life

That was the day I met you

I agreed

That evening then I knew you were the match

The job was simple,
only to get the photos from you

I never know how things became complicated

And hurting you

After you left that day

I thought I will never to see you again

The act was over

But when you returned injured

Then I went to them

He doesn't have the photos

Please let him go

Is there anything happened between both of you?

They'd promised to let you go

But then they had changed their mind

They know you like me

And try to make the whole act more convincing

They plot a death scene on me

To make you give up

And never bother to find me

That day I went to collect the money

I found they've got the wrong photos

Let me try again

You had been killed, how could you show up again

OK, you may go now

Let me think about it

you may go now

Her job is over

She must be gone forever

Yes!

So I came to San Francisco and tried to forget

I never know I will meet you again

| only want to have a great act

And I had a great act

But only one audience, You!

I am Cherie

I don't care who you are

As long as you are who you are

But only one request...

What is it?

I don't want to be your little brother

Anybody home?

- Is you again?
- Yes, I'm looking for Jacqueline

Come for candlelit lunch again?

Comein

It's difficult to be her roommate

She is crazy about acting

and | always be her only audience

By the way, she is really good

Of course, she rehearses hours and hours

and looking at the mirror day and night

Anybody home?

Anybody home?

"If you want Cherie,
hand out the photos immediately!"

I bring the photos

I know you will come

Where is Cherie?

Cherie!
