You'd better go
Mrs. Lee
Good morning
Your daughter is going to school at such a young age?

Why do you have to give it to me?
l won't need it anymore, l'm moving out
Congratulations, you've got relatives to take you in
Not really, l've found a ''ma ma san''
Your mom is here?
Ma ma san is one managing a horde of dancing girls
lf l'm going to be somebody's plaything
why not work at a dancing house
and earn a bit more money to send home
Congratulations, sir
You have the look of a rich man
You'll be rich in 2 years' time
lf this doesn't come true
you can come and challenge me
Miss, your lD please
Duke, do you have an lD card?
Give me back my lD card
Thank you
Miss, please come over
My dear, where have you been?
Go back to your sleep
Go, it's late
Duke, show me your lD card
My wife
Honey, wait for me, don't go so fast
ldiot
l must thank you for what you just did
You've saved me once
You have no lD card?
Did you swim here?
Jumped the train?
l swam here
How long have you been here?
Not too long
What's your plan?
What plan can l have?
Staying with your relatives?
Washing clothes?
Yes
Did you come from the mainland?
Have you got any relatives here in Hong Kong?
Virtually none
Please don't mind my saying
lt's not a good idea
to stay with that gang
What else could l do, it's better to be here
than to be in the mainland
You can find someone
get married and start a family
Wouldn't that be just as good?
You can stay in Hong Kong
and don't have to hide for the rest of your life
Women have to get married sooner or later
Find someone and get married
is much better than having to...
l've a relative who is a carpenter
He's still a bachelor
Although he's illiterate, and somewhat uncouth
he earns four thousand dollars a month
He's honest and is not a gambler
l believe he can be a good match for you
lf you are agreeable, you two can meet
Think about it
Tonight l'll worship the gods, come and have dinner
Try harder...
Fight...
Buy what?
Five hundred dollars on red
Take it
Separate...
Watch out, l've put in a large bet
You'll lose to him this time
Don't let him come close to you
His punches are more powerful than yours
Can you win?
Don't worry
l'll not let the house lose
What is this?
Drink it and you'll feel strong
You have enough points to win
Hit hard if you have the opportunity
lf you are tired, try the guerrilla warfare tactics
lf you win points l'll get paid too
you know!
l'm going to top up the stakes, calm down
Sister Wan
Try harder...
One, two, three, four
Come over
Top up Ah Cheung's stakes
Buy less
Get up
One, two, three, four, five
Hit his left side
One, two, three
Get up
Five, six, seven
Get up
Blue win
Damn it, why don't you use guerrilla warfare tactics
You're so weak
Do you need your mother to pamper you?
Damn you, what the hell do you know?
Don't come over
Watch him for me
What do l know, l placed a big bet on you
Stop...
Can you fight? lf you can go up and fight
Right...
Why not?
Can l bet on myself?
Of course
You'll be the red side, the odd is one to five
Alright, l'll bet on myself
Bet on me...l'll surely win, bet on me
All for red
Bet on red...it's sure win
Bet on red
Thank you
See how Sister Wan cares about you
Do a good job
Your takings
Sister Wan, what happened?
Nino, your ''kids'' are good for nothing
l do as l please
l'll show you something good in the next round
You're bluffing all the time, what if it's no good?
lf it's no good, l'll give Ah Shui to you
lf l win then he will...
This cannot be given away
Come...
Start
Try harder...
Come on...
Can you fight?
Come...
Get up...
Get up .. Come
Go over
lt's alright
You belong to this side, idiot
Sister Wan has an affair with the referee
You'll surely lose by points unless you knock him out
Hit him
Give it all you've got...
Blue side, come on
Get up...come on...
Get up ..
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
l've won, red has won
Kid, l was right about you
Be good & l'll get you a fight in the selection contest
Thank you
This is your prize money
Si Sun is young and beautiful
Just have to bear it for a while
but it's only temporary
lt'd better not be a real marriage
Who said anything about getting married?
Come...
Go away
Let me go
Don't be shy
lf she's not coming, then you come instead
How's Ah Ha doing lately?
Haven't seen her for a long time
Who is it?
lt's you
You know him. ls he your relative?
No
Have you been fighting?
No
Who is he?
He's from the mainland
and l'm staying in his place temporarily
We share the same fate
The same fate?
Take turns and play
Get lost
You're all bastards
Ah Ho, Ah Ching, don't let him go
Don't let him go...stand still...
Come...
Uncle Kwai's dead wife was so ruthless
that Uncle didn't even dare to say a word
She left Uncle without any children
Uncle Kwai wants a son so much
Look, he lives there
He lives by himself on one of the floors
His flat landlord is an old man
who often travels to America
This is a good area
There's a podium, and has everything
Be careful, these stairs are no good
Open the door, Uncle Kwai
Uncle Kwai
Coming
You are here
Come in
lt's so dark, why don't you turn on the light?
l've got used to it
What? You want to save money?
l can see without the light
Don't tease me, sit...
Sit...
This place is too small
You should sit here
Sit
This is...
Miss Man
Uncle Kwai
Uncle Kwai
Please stay for dinner
l don't have much to offer, but it's easy
l'll buy some food from downstairs
Good
Uncle Kwai, no need to stand on ceremonies
Miss Man, how old are you?
Twenty two
Have you got any brothers and sisters?
Four
Are they all in the Mainland?
Yes
You have great responsibilities
Yes, come...
Let me tell you, she...
Uncle Kwai likes you
Honestly, here it's better than in those wooden huts
What are you thinking about?
l'm an illegal immigrant
l still owe people a large sum of money
l've told Uncle Kwai before
He said he can give you $300 a month to pay your debt
and another $200 as pocket money
ls that enough?
Yes...
What if there are no children after the debt is paid?
l have no problem with that
But l don't know about him...
Then the three hundred dollars are for you
Five hundred dollars in total per month
ls that correct?
Then you don't have to think about it anymore
Just stay here tonight
to save yourself money and efforts
& you needn't worry about getting your lD checked
lmpossible
Why?
Uncle Kwai, this bed is so small
How can two people sleep in it?
Small? l've got an idea
This should do it
That's good enough
A carpenter is well-equipped
Finish working?
Wow, it's a colour TV
l never thought l'd marry such a good wife
ls he any good?
His right hook is powerful, don't worry
Get up
ls it alright?
One, two, three, four, five
six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Now we invite the H'nble Chairman of Free Fighting...
Association Mr. Chan Chi Chuen to present the prizes
Mr. Chan Chi Chuen please
Kid, l was right about you, you're good
l'll sponsor you in the Asia Pacific selection contest
l'll write you a cheque, it'd suffice for a good life
and be enough for you to get a trainer
You can spend as much as you want. Okay
Let's take a photo
Watch here...smile...
Si Sun, it's you
Auntie Kam
Come, come up
Come up
Auntie Kam, this is for you
You shouldn't have spent all this money
lt's good enough that you dropped in for a chat
Thank you so much
You don't have to take off your shoes, it's a mess here
Have a seat, l'll get you a cup of water
My heart is sincere, my love is true
the moon speaks for my heart
You ask me how much l love you
My heart is sincere, my love is true
Just arrived?
Yes
No lD card again
She has your old clothes
A light kiss makes my heart flutter
A deep and utter...
l've been looking for you
Why have you come to Hong Kong?
l want to do something l'd like to do
Couldn't you do it in Canton?
No
but l was doing more of what others wanted
than what l wanted
l didn't realise before l had achieved anything here
l had to sell my body
You mean those bastards in the wooden hut area?
lt's not them
They have escaped to come here too
They work hard for money
and have to send it home to their family
How about that carpenter?
He treats me well
But he wants a son, and l want an lD card
When he got a son, and l get my lD card
He won't force me to be with him
He might even give me some money
then l can do whatever l want
What do you want to do anyway?
l want to go to Taiwan
Then what do you want to do in Hong Kong?
Me? l want to be rich
l want to earn a lot of money, and enjoy myself
Can't you be rich in Thailand?
lf l could
would l have come to Hong Kong?
Then are you rich yet?
Do you know how to become rich?
l know Hung Fist, and have learnt Thai Boxing too
lf l combine the 2 styles
they are no match to me
Just wait and see, l will win
Does it hurt?
Do you feel the pain?
This is Ah Mut Sha, your opponent
He's testing the power of his opponent
Watch out for his elbow, he's quick
He's Chan Kam Kong, represented Hong Kong last time
His punches are powerful
Have you seen his knee attacks?
Very lethal
Within one round
One, two, three, four
Again
Catch it
Lousy Japanese stuff, hardly used it for over a day
Save some money
Why do you need a vacuum cleaner?
We have no carpets
l don't care, get some carpets then
l can get them
but give me a son quickly
My dead wife
never bore me a son
and she just died
Damn you, you're cursing me
l didn't mean it
Si Sun, bear me a son to continue my line
and l will reward you well
Even if you were arrested and sent back
l'll buy you a house in Shenzhen
and will come to see you whenever l have time
What if there are no children?
Don't say such things
You know l am superstitious
Alright, never mind...
Really?
You can get a car for nine hundred dollars?
Of course it's real, it's been advertised
l called just now
A lot of people have been asking
Better be quick if you want to buy one
This is it, not too bad
Like it or not?
No, it's 1997 here
lt can't be
Look
How can that be, the screw is loose, it's 1967
This car isn't bad
Do you want to test it?
Sit tight
Come inside and talk
This car will be yours for nine hundred dollars
Recently driving license fees are up, and so is the gas
That's why cars are sold cheap
That's right
Okay
Where's the license?
l can't give it to you now
What do you mean?
You have to pay the remaining six thousand dollars
before you can have your license
Six thousand more?
Of course
Give me back the money, l'm not buying it
Well, then all that will cover the administrative costs
lf everyone came in like you and
messed about, how can we run a business here?
Country bum
How come you puke just after a short car ride?
Are you alright? Luckily l haven't bought it
Otherwise, you can't enjoy it
Come down
Hey, you...
Damn
What happened?
What are you doing?
Stand still
You want your money back? Here
l'm sure to have my money back
And along with some administrative fee
Thank you
Hey
Don't you know me?
l am Choi Ha
ls it really you?
Yes
l couldn't have recognized you if you hadn't call me
Let me look at you
Well?
You are pretty
Just put on more make-up to make yourself pretty
Money is for spending
l heard that you've got married
Are you going to be a mother soon?
Really?
l'm faster than you
l've got more than ten ''daughters''
What?
l'm a ''ma ma san''
l love my ''daughters''
Going shopping?
Yes, chicken is cheap today
Si Sun
Mr. Kwong
Buying vegetables?
Yes
How's Uncle Kwai?
He has to work late and won't be coming back tonight
Really? l won't bother you then
Goodbye
You don't need to buy vegetables?
l've bought them
Who's that guy? He looks handsome
ls he your boyfriend?
You're doing better than me
No, tell me
or else l'll tell your husband
So late?
l'm studying English
Drink it
ls it chicken soup?
Where are all these lD cards from?
They're for you
l've won them
There are so many women in Hong Kong
who sell their lD cards
for the sake of gambling
One day when l win the fight, l'll have everything
not to mention lD card
l don't want it
Look at how bad this woman looks
She's a shame to our city
Put her to sleep
The old man is back
No
Old aunt upstairs is out of breath climbing the stairs
Go to America with me
Go to America? How?
lf l win the semi-finals, l will go to America
for the world champion
lf l become the America's boxing champion
l can apply for you to come over
Will you win?
Very likely
You're against Ah Mut Sha, the Thai Boxing Champion
He fights fiercely
But l might not necessarily lose
l won't see you fight
l can't stand your being a boxer
Are you going with me or not?
l don't know English
You can learn it
Those foreigners are weird
They're either blacker than coal or insipid white
l would say you don't want to give up that old man
lt's not good leaving him like this
Do you really want to bear a son for him?
Have you suffered so much to come here
just to bear a son for an old man?
l can't say whether the child you are pregnant with
is his or mine
lt's mine
Alright...it's yours
What about me?
You want the child
but not his father?
Disgusting
ls it the neighbour upstairs again?
lt's my husband
Don't you have to work late tonight?
Ah Mut Sha's elbow and knee are powerful
lf your condition the following night
is as good as now, you'll be alright
Hello
How's the training?
Boss, it's great, don't worry
Boss...
Good, any problems?
Very good, he'll surely win
Boss' car was passing by
and he insisted on coming up to see you
He has also brought you some chicken essence
Keep it
Alright, l'm leaving, l've to go for a meeting
l'll see you out
Don't work too hard, understand?
What's the current situation?
One to four, that Kong Yuen Sang will lose
lf they had not known he's practising real hard
the stakes would be 8 times higher
He'll definitely lose
One to six, get them all
Alright
Asia Pacific World Free Fighting Champion final round
will now begin

and will represent the Asia-Pacific region

Ah Mut Sha can't do anything but to hold Kong
The referee is separating them
but Kong wants to continue with the fight
The experts here tonight
are the Champion of two successive years
Ah Mut Sha, nicknamed Crocodile King
who is very experienced
and fights fiercely
His challenger is...
a Chinese-Thai, Kong Yuen Sang
He is a rising star in Hong Kong
The two of them are still fighting and
have not been able to get the better of each other
A right hook
A testing straight punch
Hit him, hit him on his head
The two are still fighting
A right kick, forcing him towards the ropes of the ring
following up with alternate left and right punches
Once he retires towards the ropes of the ring
Ah Mut Sha was stepped on his foot
Ah Mut Sha wants to hit Kong but fails
Ah Mut Sha hits Kong with a straight punch
after Kong's hit, he moves away
then a left hook
followed by a left kick

Ah Mut Sha focuses
and kicks Kong back
Kong blocks him with
a straight punch
Ah Mut Sha ducks and hits him with a right hook

are one to five
A right punch
There will be 5 rounds
in tonight's match
Each round will last for 2 minutes

both lash out at each other
Kong is hit
Now he starts his attack
Ah Mut Sha is hit, the attack is ferocious
Ah Mut Sha delivers a right punch
Kong Yuen Sang falls
Kong is determined to win
Ah Mut Sha realises his weakness of being too rash
Don't get up so fast
Wait until he counts to seven
Kong wants to get up
He's up
Once he gets up, Kong retaliates
Good, two punches
lt seems that both are stalling
Kong rushes over and holds him
Ah Mut Sha has been under attack
with sheer force Kong forces him
to the ground
Kong presses him down
You stupid fool
l told you to hit his head
but you keep hitting his body
There's no point hitting his body
l did
Be careful of his elbow
You've messed up the tactics
Did you know that you've lost this round?
Don't be so hasty
He can't beat you
Don't be afraid. Fight on
Fight harder
Fight yourself
lt's right to fight like this, keep it this way
You should pass out in the next round
Shut up
Remember what l've said
News roundup. According to the official report
immediate repatriation tactics for illegal immigrants
who are caught has been effective
The government denies rumours that those
who got married and gave birth here will be pardoned
A female illegal immigrant
gave birth to a boy today at the Queen Mary Hospital
but the woman was deported back to the mainland
This becomes the first case of an illegal immigrant
denied permission to stay after a delivery here

lt seems that the deciding match
will be in the fifth round
Boss says that you have to win
He wants to make you the new Champion
He's willing to run a losing business?
Boss has a good plan
and just called long distance to top up the stakes
he can still make a buck
No wonder he started the match half an hour earlier
to facilitate doing this
Ah Mut Sha will beat you anytime
Boss has asked you to drink some magic potion
lt can refresh your spirit

What is it?
lt's from boss
Was there any drug in what l drank?
Ladies and gentlemen, after the urine test

You've lost anyway
Si Sun...
What happened to you?
l fell from the stairs
My son's gone, my baby is gone!
Lost...
Ah Kwai, help me
My son's gone...
You only think about your son, and not about me
That's not true, but l've spent so much money
in the hope that l could have a son
A son...You should have the ability
Am l not?
l'll give you anything you want
Did you say l'm not capable?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
You bastard
lf you are that capable, marry a Miss Hong Kong
lf it were not for me
you'll still be a whore in that place, you bitch
l didn't come to Hong Kong to bear you a son
What's a woman for if not for bearing children?
This son is not yours
Not mine, you're saying l'm impotent?
Alright, let me show you
No
l'll show you

Mrs. Lee
Good morning
Your daughter is going to school at such a young age?
She's almost three

Let's do it this way

Take it
What are you doing?
Don't go away, what are you doing?

Uncle
You go to the fourth floor to clean the toilet
Uncle
Are you hiring someone?

You've got dirt and mud all over you
Let me clean you up
Look at you
See, you've got mud on your face and your head
You deserve a good beating
Ah Hung was on night shift last night

Don't cause trouble when staying under others' roof

Why do you have to give it to me?
l won't need it anymore, l'm moving out
Congratulations, you've got relatives to take you in
Not really, l've found a ''ma ma san''
Your mom is here?
Ma ma san is one managing a horde of dancing girls
lf l'm going to be somebody's plaything
why not work at a dancing house
and earn a bit more money to send home
Congratulations, sir
You have the look of a rich man
You'll be rich in 2 years' time
lf this doesn't come true
you can come and challenge me
Miss, your lD please
Duke, do you have an lD card?
Give me back my lD card
Thank you
Miss, please come over
My dear, where have you been?
Go back to your sleep
Go, it's late
Duke, show me your lD card
My wife
Honey, wait for me, don't go so fast
ldiot
l must thank you for what you just did
You've saved me once
You have no lD card?
Did you swim here?
Jumped the train?
l swam here
How long have you been here?
Not too long
What's your plan?
What plan can l have?
Staying with your relatives?
Washing clothes?
Yes
Did you come from the mainland?
Have you got any relatives here in Hong Kong?
Virtually none
Please don't mind my saying
lt's not a good idea
to stay with that gang
What else could l do, it's better to be here
than to be in the mainland
You can find someone
get married and start a family
Wouldn't that be just as good?
You can stay in Hong Kong
and don't have to hide for the rest of your life
Women have to get married sooner or later
Find someone and get married
is much better than having to...
l've a relative who is a carpenter
He's still a bachelor
Although he's illiterate, and somewhat uncouth
he earns four thousand dollars a month
He's honest and is not a gambler
l believe he can be a good match for you
lf you are agreeable, you two can meet
Think about it
Tonight l'll worship the gods, come and have dinner
Try harder...
Fight...
Buy what?
Five hundred dollars on red
Take it
Separate...
Watch out, l've put in a large bet
You'll lose to him this time
Don't let him come close to you
His punches are more powerful than yours
Can you win?
Don't worry
l'll not let the house lose
What is this?
Drink it and you'll feel strong
You have enough points to win
Hit hard if you have the opportunity
lf you are tired, try the guerrilla warfare tactics
lf you win points l'll get paid too
you know!
l'm going to top up the stakes, calm down
Sister Wan
Try harder...
One, two, three, four
Come over
Top up Ah Cheung's stakes
Buy less
Get up
One, two, three, four, five
Hit his left side
One, two, three
Get up
Five, six, seven
Get up
Blue win
Damn it, why don't you use guerrilla warfare tactics
You're so weak
Do you need your mother to pamper you?
Damn you, what the hell do you know?
Don't come over
Watch him for me
What do l know, l placed a big bet on you
Stop...
Can you fight? lf you can go up and fight
Right...
Why not?
Can l bet on myself?
Of course
You'll be the red side, the odd is one to five
Alright, l'll bet on myself
Bet on me...l'll surely win, bet on me
All for red
Bet on red...it's sure win
Bet on red
Thank you
See how Sister Wan cares about you
Do a good job
Your takings
Sister Wan, what happened?
Nino, your ''kids'' are good for nothing
l do as l please
l'll show you something good in the next round
You're bluffing all the time, what if it's no good?
lf it's no good, l'll give Ah Shui to you
lf l win then he will...
This cannot be given away
Come...
Start
Try harder...
Come on...
Can you fight?
Come...
Get up...
Get up .. Come
Go over
lt's alright
You belong to this side, idiot
Sister Wan has an affair with the referee
You'll surely lose by points unless you knock him out
Hit him
Give it all you've got...
Blue side, come on
Get up...come on...
Get up ..
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
l've won, red has won
Kid, l was right about you
Be good & l'll get you a fight in the selection contest
Thank you
This is your prize money
Si Sun is young and beautiful
Just have to bear it for a while
but it's only temporary
lt'd better not be a real marriage
Who said anything about getting married?
Come...
Go away
Let me go
Don't be shy
lf she's not coming, then you come instead
How's Ah Ha doing lately?
Haven't seen her for a long time
Who is it?
lt's you
You know him. ls he your relative?
No
Have you been fighting?
No
Who is he?
He's from the mainland
and l'm staying in his place temporarily
We share the same fate
The same fate?
Take turns and play
Get lost
You're all bastards
Ah Ho, Ah Ching, don't let him go
Don't let him go...stand still...
Come...
Uncle Kwai's dead wife was so ruthless
that Uncle didn't even dare to say a word
She left Uncle without any children
Uncle Kwai wants a son so much
Look, he lives there
He lives by himself on one of the floors
His flat landlord is an old man
who often travels to America
This is a good area
There's a podium, and has everything
Be careful, these stairs are no good
Open the door, Uncle Kwai
Uncle Kwai
Coming
You are here
Come in
lt's so dark, why don't you turn on the light?
l've got used to it
What? You want to save money?
l can see without the light
Don't tease me, sit...
Sit...
This place is too small
You should sit here
Sit
This is...
Miss Man
Uncle Kwai
Uncle Kwai
Please stay for dinner
l don't have much to offer, but it's easy
l'll buy some food from downstairs
Good
Uncle Kwai, no need to stand on ceremonies
Miss Man, how old are you?
Twenty two
Have you got any brothers and sisters?
Four
Are they all in the Mainland?
Yes
You have great responsibilities
Yes, come...
Let me tell you, she...
Uncle Kwai likes you
Honestly, here it's better than in those wooden huts
What are you thinking about?
l'm an illegal immigrant
l still owe people a large sum of money
l've told Uncle Kwai before
He said he can give you $300 a month to pay your debt
and another $200 as pocket money
ls that enough?
Yes...
What if there are no children after the debt is paid?
l have no problem with that
But l don't know about him...
Then the three hundred dollars are for you
Five hundred dollars in total per month
ls that correct?
Then you don't have to think about it anymore
Just stay here tonight
to save yourself money and efforts
& you needn't worry about getting your lD checked
lmpossible
Why?
Uncle Kwai, this bed is so small
How can two people sleep in it?
Small? l've got an idea
This should do it
That's good enough
A carpenter is well-equipped
Finish working?
Wow, it's a colour TV
l never thought l'd marry such a good wife
ls he any good?
His right hook is powerful, don't worry
Get up
ls it alright?
One, two, three, four, five
six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Now we invite the H'nble Chairman of Free Fighting...
Association Mr. Chan Chi Chuen to present the prizes
Mr. Chan Chi Chuen please
Kid, l was right about you, you're good
l'll sponsor you in the Asia Pacific selection contest
l'll write you a cheque, it'd suffice for a good life
and be enough for you to get a trainer
You can spend as much as you want. Okay
Let's take a photo
Watch here...smile...
Si Sun, it's you
Auntie Kam
Come, come up
Come up
Auntie Kam, this is for you
You shouldn't have spent all this money
lt's good enough that you dropped in for a chat
Thank you so much
You don't have to take off your shoes, it's a mess here
Have a seat, l'll get you a cup of water
My heart is sincere, my love is true
the moon speaks for my heart
You ask me how much l love you
My heart is sincere, my love is true
Just arrived?
Yes
No lD card again
She has your old clothes
A light kiss makes my heart flutter
A deep and utter...
l've been looking for you
Why have you come to Hong Kong?
l want to do something l'd like to do
Couldn't you do it in Canton?
No
but l was doing more of what others wanted
than what l wanted
l didn't realise before l had achieved anything here
l had to sell my body
You mean those bastards in the wooden hut area?
lt's not them
They have escaped to come here too
They work hard for money
and have to send it home to their family
How about that carpenter?
He treats me well
But he wants a son, and l want an lD card
When he got a son, and l get my lD card
He won't force me to be with him
He might even give me some money
then l can do whatever l want
What do you want to do anyway?
l want to go to Taiwan
Then what do you want to do in Hong Kong?
Me? l want to be rich
l want to earn a lot of money, and enjoy myself
Can't you be rich in Thailand?
lf l could
would l have come to Hong Kong?
Then are you rich yet?
Do you know how to become rich?
l know Hung Fist, and have learnt Thai Boxing too
lf l combine the 2 styles
they are no match to me
Just wait and see, l will win
Does it hurt?
Do you feel the pain?
This is Ah Mut Sha, your opponent
He's testing the power of his opponent
Watch out for his elbow, he's quick
He's Chan Kam Kong, represented Hong Kong last time
His punches are powerful
Have you seen his knee attacks?
Very lethal
Within one round
One, two, three, four
Again
Catch it
Lousy Japanese stuff, hardly used it for over a day
Save some money
Why do you need a vacuum cleaner?
We have no carpets
l don't care, get some carpets then
l can get them
but give me a son quickly
My dead wife
never bore me a son
and she just died
Damn you, you're cursing me
l didn't mean it
Si Sun, bear me a son to continue my line
and l will reward you well
Even if you were arrested and sent back
l'll buy you a house in Shenzhen
and will come to see you whenever l have time
What if there are no children?
Don't say such things
You know l am superstitious
Alright, never mind...
Really?
You can get a car for nine hundred dollars?
Of course it's real, it's been advertised
l called just now
A lot of people have been asking
Better be quick if you want to buy one
This is it, not too bad
Like it or not?
No, it's 1997 here
lt can't be
Look
How can that be, the screw is loose, it's 1967
This car isn't bad
Do you want to test it?
Sit tight
Come inside and talk
This car will be yours for nine hundred dollars
Recently driving license fees are up, and so is the gas
That's why cars are sold cheap
That's right
Okay
Where's the license?
l can't give it to you now
What do you mean?
You have to pay the remaining six thousand dollars
before you can have your license
Six thousand more?
Of course
Give me back the money, l'm not buying it
Well, then all that will cover the administrative costs
lf everyone came in like you and
messed about, how can we run a business here?
Country bum
How come you puke just after a short car ride?
Are you alright? Luckily l haven't bought it
Otherwise, you can't enjoy it
Come down
Hey, you...
Damn
What happened?
What are you doing?
Stand still
You want your money back? Here
l'm sure to have my money back
And along with some administrative fee
Thank you
Hey
Don't you know me?
l am Choi Ha
ls it really you?
Yes
l couldn't have recognized you if you hadn't call me
Let me look at you
Well?
You are pretty
Just put on more make-up to make yourself pretty
Money is for spending
l heard that you've got married
Are you going to be a mother soon?
Really?
l'm faster than you
l've got more than ten ''daughters''
What?
l'm a ''ma ma san''
l love my ''daughters''
Going shopping?
Yes, chicken is cheap today
Si Sun
Mr. Kwong
Buying vegetables?
Yes
How's Uncle Kwai?
He has to work late and won't be coming back tonight
Really? l won't bother you then
Goodbye
You don't need to buy vegetables?
l've bought them
Who's that guy? He looks handsome
ls he your boyfriend?
You're doing better than me
No, tell me
or else l'll tell your husband
So late?
l'm studying English
Drink it
ls it chicken soup?
Where are all these lD cards from?
They're for you
l've won them
There are so many women in Hong Kong
who sell their lD cards
for the sake of gambling
One day when l win the fight, l'll have everything
not to mention lD card
l don't want it
Look at how bad this woman looks
She's a shame to our city
Put her to sleep
The old man is back
No
Old aunt upstairs is out of breath climbing the stairs
Go to America with me
Go to America? How?
lf l win the semi-finals, l will go to America
for the world champion
lf l become the America's boxing champion
l can apply for you to come over
Will you win?
Very likely
You're against Ah Mut Sha, the Thai Boxing Champion
He fights fiercely
But l might not necessarily lose
l won't see you fight
l can't stand your being a boxer
Are you going with me or not?
l don't know English
You can learn it
Those foreigners are weird
They're either blacker than coal or insipid white
l would say you don't want to give up that old man
lt's not good leaving him like this
Do you really want to bear a son for him?
Have you suffered so much to come here
just to bear a son for an old man?
l can't say whether the child you are pregnant with
is his or mine
lt's mine
Alright...it's yours
What about me?
You want the child
but not his father?
Disgusting
ls it the neighbour upstairs again?
lt's my husband
Don't you have to work late tonight?
Ah Mut Sha's elbow and knee are powerful
lf your condition the following night
is as good as now, you'll be alright
Hello
How's the training?
Boss, it's great, don't worry
Boss...
Good, any problems?
Very good, he'll surely win
Boss' car was passing by
and he insisted on coming up to see you
He has also brought you some chicken essence
Keep it
Alright, l'm leaving, l've to go for a meeting
l'll see you out
Don't work too hard, understand?
What's the current situation?
One to four, that Kong Yuen Sang will lose
lf they had not known he's practising real hard
the stakes would be 8 times higher
He'll definitely lose
One to six, get them all

who is very experienced
and fights fiercely
His challenger is...
a Chinese-Thai, Kong Yuen Sang
He is a rising star in Hong Kong
The two of them are still fighting and
have not been able to get the better of each other
A right hook
A testing straight punch
Hit him, hit him on his head

Kong wants to get up
He's up
Once he gets up, Kong retaliates
Good, two punches
lt seems that both are stalling
Kong rushes over and holds him
Ah Mut Sha has been under attack
with sheer force Kong forces him
to the ground
Kong presses him down
You stupid fool
l told you to hit his head
but you keep hitting his body
There's no point hitting his body
l did
Be careful of his elbow
You've messed up the tactics
Did you know that you've lost this round?
Don't be so hasty
He can't beat you
Don't be afraid. Fight on
Fight harder
Fight yourself
lt's right to fight like this, keep it this way
You should pass out in the next round
Shut up
Remember what l've said
