Mom, Don't Do That! (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript
A NETFLIX SERIES
Kate?
Wait for me.
Hey! Slow down.
I'm not getting married.
What's wrong with you?
You're the most beautiful bride.
Three minutes ago,
weren't you discussing the rundown?
I'm upset.
Come on. Tell me.
What are you upset about?
Lower.
Harder.
-Right here?
-Yes.
Wait. Where's the massage gun from?
I've brought it here.
A bride is tense on the wedding day.
You're weird.
What are you upset about?
Listen.
I don't think my husband really loves me.
Take a look at that.
Does my true love do that to the toilet?
The toilet?
Maybe somebody else did that.
I'll get it cleaned up. Calm down.
Bullshit!
I told him this morning
to sit down to pee because I don't want
to walk down the aisle with a bridegroom
with a urine-stained suit.
He didn't listen to me!
Don't make a fuss about nothing.
What if you had a mom like mine?
But your mom is so cool.
You're blessed without knowing it.
I think contemporary women
should be brave in pursuing happiness
like your mom does,
however old they are.
You'll be sentenced to death
when you call her old.
All right. Come on. Let's go on.
Please.
Pretty bride, sit up straight.
Come on.
Tell me.
Can you bear to see your mom get married?
No, I can't.
To the extent that…
I can't eat anything.
I can't sleep.
After work,
the night is long for me at home.
I'm afraid that in my next life
I'll still fall in love deeply
On that long night,
I think I was there too.
It was your bachelorette party.
If not for that,
I'm home every day after work
to wait for my mom's calls.
I didn't know you love your mom so much.
-Let's try your bridal bouquet, miss.
-Okay.
Go.
Come on. This way.
Why has Mom been silent
these couple of days?
HE LEFT ME ON THE WAY
Did I do the right thing?
I didn't even let him explain himself
and came back alone.
Could it be
that Robert has his own troubles?
God,
please tell me.
Why do I have such a hard life?
Have I been a bad person?
Or could it be
that you are making fun of me,
Guang-hui?
Do you have golden kiwis?
I don't want the green ones.
They are hairy.
Hairy…
I'll get them for you from the kitchen.
Excuse me.
Look at my new phone case. It's furry.
It's cute, isn't it?
Do you miss me?
You're cute.
Your fur is so cute!
Hairy and furry.
Why did I check into the hotel?
That's my home.
What am I afraid of?
If those two disobedient girls
laugh at my running away from Australia,
I'll stuff the hairy kiwis
into their mouths.
ALL WILL BE WELL WHEN YOU COME HOME
Do you want some, Mom?
It's delicious.
Boss?
What are you doing?
I have lots of important guests out there.
If you cancel the wedding now,
I'll be dead.
Go to hell then!
You don't love me anyway!
But I do!
You don't! Come on!
When you kiss me,
you just make circles with your tongue
in my mouth.
What are you talking about?
You don't know? Come here. Look at it.
You've peed on the toilet seat.
And you don't get yourself circumcised.
Mind your own business. Come on.
-What?
-Is that relevant to the wedding?
It's nice of Kate to offer you the job.
If she cancels the wedding,
you won't get paid.
Don't worry.
In terms of love,
Kate knows better than you do.
That's one step back
and two steps forward.
Really?
But they're fighting fiercely.
I think she has dynamite in her.
Chen Ru-rong,
you should've learned more from Mom.
She always fought for
whatever she wanted.
And Dad would relent more
the harder she fought for it.
They're just acting.
Yes, you're right.
You're so eloquent
when you're not drunk.
How do you know I didn't drink?
Hey, Ru-rong.
How do they make sure
that they've met the right one?
You don't have to make sure
to get married.
The character "marriage" is composed
of the words "female" and "muddled."
That says it all.
You only get married
when you're muddle-headed.
Then Mom is still muddle-headed.
You're right.
I'm feeling sorry for the old man.
When do you think we'll begin to miss Mom?
We'll see.
I'm in a great mood.
I don't want to think about it.
Me too.
It's all your fault.
You asked me to go on an adventure.
And I ended up with the furry Robert.
He's hairy. And his hair is curly.
I feel sick when I think of it.
He spanked me
when we had sex.
And I endured it.
But when he hugged me,
I couldn't take it anymore.
Did I sleep with a furry ball?
Maybe I should scream,
“Oh yes, baby!”
when I knit a sweater out of his hair.
JIN
You've scared me to death!
Where's my phone?
JIN: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
STILL IN AUSTRALIA?
Where are you texting me?
From up there or down there?
I'M LU YI
This is bad!
I'm so embarrassed!
Oh, my God!
YOU RECEIVED A VIDEO FROM ROBERT
YOU RECEIVED A VIDEO FROM ROBERT
My goodness.
No…
Stop!
No!
I don't want boiled chicken.
I don't understand it.
You are thinking too much.
I answered your phone.
It doesn't mean I'll go to Australia.
What?
You're in Taiwan now?
Where?
You followed me?
-You're sick.
-Only for you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the wedding
of Ms. Zeng and Mr. Jia.
Let's welcome the bride, Kate Zeng,
and Kate's dad.
A round of applause, please.
Next,
let's do the Giving Away of the Bride.
In the sacred ceremony,
Kate's dad is going to offer her hand
to the bridegroom Guo-hui.
Please give the bride
and bridegroom a round of applause again.
Now,
the newlyweds are turning face to face
to exchange the rings.
The best man will provide
the newlyweds with the rings.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's give our blessings
to the newlyweds again.
You're beautiful.
Look at the camera.
Thank you.
Hi.
-It's the most important day in our life.
-Kate! You look amazing!
-Congratulations! You look great.
-Congratulations!
-I'm standing next to him.
-Why are you stealing my place?
Why do you have to do this?
You've been upset since this morning.
Congratulations.
-You look so pretty today.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Really?
Do you really see it as an important day?
To be honest,
I really don't know what you're thinking.
I'm not smart. And I don't like to guess.
-I don't understand the biology
-Come on.
-that you keep babbling about.
-Don't stop. Next one.
-Come on.
-You…
-Congratulations, buddy!
-Congratulations!
-I'll stand here!
-Move over!
-You look great.
-Look at the camera.
You're so gorgeous today.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, buddy.
You're welcome.
I knew you'd choose this dress.
-I'll see you later.
-Okay.
What are you afraid of?
Of me not loving you?
How do you want me to prove it?
As a woman, I want to spend my life
with the man I love.
As a mom,
I want to give my child a complete home.
-Those are my basic instincts.
-Congratulations!
I'm torn between my identities
as a woman and as a mother.
-Do you know what I'm afraid of now?
-Stand closer.
-What?
-Closer.
Here. Please squat a bit. I'll stand.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Hurry up. The next group, please.
-You mean…
It's finally our turn.
-Are you afraid of my mom?
-We've waited so long.
-The bride is gorgeous.
-So gorgeous.
What a beautiful couple!
-Beautiful!
-Don't worry.
She sees you as her own daughter.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
No!
What?
You're pregnant?
I'm going to be a dad.
I'm going to be a dad!
I'm going to be a dad!
I'm going to be a dad!
What's going on? A riot?
Kate just announced that she's pregnant.
Really?
Great. Good things come in pairs.
What's with the long face?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Should we answer it?
Where are those two disobedient girls?
They don't answer my calls.
They don't care about me at all.
Never mind. Just you and me.
We'll have fun.
I'll show you Taiwan. It's so beautiful.
Kate spent lots of money on her reception.
Isn't it crazy?
I haven't eaten anything all day.
It's even crazier.
Your fried chicken is really good.
-You like it?
-Yes.
If you hold your reception here,
the fried chicken is on me.
My reception?
After the violent battle today,
my desire for getting married
has completely gone.
Don't tell your mom.
She'll be disappointed.
Why did you mention that witch?
See what you did.
What do we do now? Are we answering it?
It's her seventh call.
No wonder my eyelid kept twitching.
Are we answering it or not?
Should we ignore her?
Let's answer it together.
One, two, three.
-Mom?
-Mom?
-Min and I were at Kate's wedding.
-I helped with Kate's wedding.
-I collected cash gifts. It was tiring.
-We were too busy to get our phones.
-I haven't eaten anything all day.
-I haven't answered your calls.
-And my feet are sore.
-Don't get mad at me.
-How's Australia?
-And…
-I texted you for a thousand times,
-Having fun?
-Has the old man got his house back?
-but you've left me on read.
-I'm worried about you and Robert.
-We've been worried about you.
Are you all right?
Is everything okay?
Hello?
Hello?
What's wrong?
Can you hear me, Mom?
I'm getting married.
-What?
-What?
-Getting married?
-Getting married?
Mom, don't do that!
I'm on the road in Miaoli.
Come on. Say hello to Robert.
You're in Taiwan?
When did you come back?
Why didn't you tell us?
I'll text you the time and place
of our civil marriage.
If you don't show up,
I'll dissociate myself from you.
Bye.
But…
She hung up.
That's your mom.
MEI-MEI: YOUR DAD WOULD WANT YOU
TO ATTEND MY WEDDING.
-Look! A kangaroo!
-A kangaroo!
-It's a kangaroo!
-A kangaroo!
LOVE YOU
Take a picture!
How handsome and dignified!
Well…
Where are we?
Let's see.
I think it's here.
-Are you sure it's here?
-Where is she meeting us?
-Chen Ru-rong, your hair is a mess.
-Don't laugh at me.
Yours is no better.
This is not soy sauce.
It's soy sauce. That's vinegar.
-You're stupid.
-Wang Mei-mei!
You're here.
Nice to meet you,
Ruo-min and Ru-rong.
Look at the fog.
-Come on, girls. Right here!
-Here.
Group photo. Come on, girls!
Let's take one together.
Nice picture.
-One more.
-Come on, Chen Ru-rong!
I'll count to three.
If you don't get in, we won't get married.
No clothes.
In a hot spring.
Yes. Take it off.
Chen Ruo-min!
Don't forget that we're in this together.
We're here to isolate Mom.
Don't you think the old man is cute?
Have you thought about it?
Maybe Dad wasn't the right man for her.
If Dad got 90 points,
maybe the old man gets 99 points.
There's no such thing!
Hey, you two!
You thought I couldn't hear you?
We're here for the hot spring.
Why do we have to isolate anybody?
Who's here for the hot spring?
I haven't gotten any sleep.
If I don't speak my mind,
I'll suffocate.
Then speak out now. Otherwise, sleep now.
The old man has been clinging to Mom.
How do I tell her?
Nice!
When we have a barbecue,
you'll take the old man away
and I'll talk to Mom.
I can't hear you!
I want to talk to you, Mom.
I know you're awake.
I know you can hear me.
Listen.
Min and I are here to dissuade you,
not to give you our blessings.
Dissuade me?
But why?
Don't you see
how well I've trained the old man?
He'll go wherever I want him to.
He'll shave if I want him to.
He'll marry me if I tell him to.
But Mom,
you're out of your mind.
You haven't got to know him
well enough to marry him.
But Robert and I have been happy.
We're always laughing.
Unlike you
and your long faces.
But I…
Mom,
a lady should age gracefully.
Life is like a bottle of wine.
Making wine takes time. What's the rush?
But I'm great.
Robert has been crazy for me.
Robert is a nice guy.
But he's not smart.
When I stayed in Australia,
I settled all the problems
about his property.
And he's calling me “boss”.
Boss? Doesn't he know you're good
at spending money?
I should've gone abroad earlier.
I'll show you.
Hi, Robert.
My husband…
You're making me sick.
I think Australia
is a magical place.
Love is everywhere.
Right now, in Robert's heart,
I'm his God.
I can do everything,
including fashion design.
Fashion design?
Mom?
What have you done to my uniform?
But it's unique.
That's fashion.
But I can't go to work like this.
Just go.
You'll attract much attention.
Psychological counseling?
Ru-rong?
Open the door!
You need to eat even when you're dumped.
Open the door!
I'll teach you to get another man.
You're dumped.
It's no big deal.
You're a loser!
Ru-rong!
Creative cuisine?
I don't get it.
I've made it with cheese.
Why doesn't it look like a cheesecake?
-So you were making a cheesecake?
-Yes.
You think that
if you put cheese on a cake,
it will be a cheesecake?
Yes. How else is it made?
I've managed to get married anyway.
Unlike the two of you.
Except for getting married,
do you have a better goal in life?
I've got a specific goal,
which is to make myself happy.
No.
What you want is
to find someone and control him.
I wanted to grow old peacefully
with your dad.
But he left me on the way.
I have to take good care of myself.
But Mom,
we're worried about you.
We don't want you
to be taken advantage of.
Don't worry, Min.
Love is like exploration.
You should learn it from me, not her.
She's uptight.
You want her to learn the mess
that you've made?
If she could take care of herself,
she wouldn't have wasted
so much time on that parasite.
Leave me out of it.
It has nothing to do with me.
What now?
You're blaming us,
but we don't need you to be our nanny.
Yes, you busybody!
Min,
don't forget that you're with me.
Why are you speaking for her?
The three of us
are never with one another.
Min?
Shut up. It's none of your business.
Why isn't it her business?
I can't always help or take care
of both of you by myself.
What?
I'm getting married happily.
What's wrong with it? Is that a mistake?
Yes! A big mistake!
Things have been wrong since Dad died.
Stop fighting!
Since Dad died,
we've always been fighting.
Aren't you tired of it?
Stop it!
Fine. I can't argue with you.
After Mom gets married,
I don't want to become your only target.
I'll move out when we're back in Taipei.
Can't you be reasonable, Min?
You can't hurt someone's feelings
and ask her to be reasonable.
-But…
-You big writer!
Did you do that on purpose?
You don't want me to leave you, right?
What?
You're forcing me
to admit that I'm a loser.
If I don't admit it,
you'll keep torturing me.
Ru-rong,
I'll move to Australia
when we get married.
You don't have to force yourself
to play the role of a dad.
Great.
You're getting married.
Dad passed away.
Min is moving out.
I can finally be myself.
Why do you have prenuptial anxiety?
We have LINE
and FaceTime.
If you need me,
you can contact me anytime.
I'm afraid nobody helps you
when you're in trouble.
I'm afraid they blame Dad
for not teaching me well.
I'm afraid Dad would blame me
for not taking care of you.
Why is it Dad that died, not you?
At least,
you and your dad were on the same side.
Ru-rong.
I don't understand.
Why are you marrying her?
You see 10% of her,
just like an iceberg.
Please. Jump now, okay?
She is Rose,
but not Titanic's Rose, okay?
Ru-rong.
It's 10 p.m., honey.
You don't want to talk to me,
but I'm here to mind your house.
The lights are off upstairs. Safe.
Now, I'm--
What's wrong with the door?
The lock is broken.
So I'll get somebody to fix it.
What?
Can you put the phone on mute?
Okay.
It's noisy.
The door lock is fine.
Nobody is going to break in.
I don't smell gas.
It's safe.
Don't worry.
You're not home,
but I'm always here.
Hi, sister.
You're here again, handsome boy.
How have you been?
I'm fine.
What is it?
Your wife kicked you out again?
No. They're not home.
I'm here to mind the house.
-There's someone?
-Say hi to them.
-Hi!
-Hi!
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
Not yet?
Come on. I'll make something for you.
It smells good.
It smells really good.
Come in.
It's okay.
I'll drink. You're safe.
If you're sick, you'll cry and you'll die.
I'll take all your money.
I feel sorry for you.
-Delicious beans and sausages. Try them.
-Do you want to try that?
-All those free of charge are the best.
-Delicious beans and sausages.
All those free of charge are expensive.
-Do you want some?
-Give me a moment.
-No.
-I only eat big ones.
Chen Ru-rong?
Dragon Huang?
What are you doing here?
-I've been transferred back to Taiwan.
-He is her ex-boyfriend.
It's not easy to get new employees.
As a manager,
I need to promote our products personally.
When will you get off work?
She's free today.
You haven't seen her for a long time.
Have a chat.
-What are you talking about?
-Yes. He's a married man.
What does it matter?
Robert!
What a small world!
You don't go out much.
The world is small to you.
You were shopping with your family?
But where's your dad?
And who was
that foreigner?
My dad passed away five years ago.
The foreigner is my mom's new boyfriend.
I'm here to dissuade her.
I'm not on vacation.
You don't have to say sorry.
So?
Are you married?
What?
Are you laughing at me?
Listen. I'm not waiting for you.
You were so merciless
to break up with me.
You didn't even call me.
I checked my emails every day.
I didn't want to miss any of your emails.
I don't know how long I locked myself up.
Wait, Ru-rong.
Is that the truth?
I remember it was you
who closed yourself up to write a novel
and you didn't want me to disturb you.
And you…
Wait. I remember it.
You were awarded Best New Writer.
You told me that you had to prove yourself
and didn't want me to contact you anymore.
And…
And you never contacted me again.
My goodness!
You're a scum, Dragon Huang!
Your mom didn't like me
and you never spoke for me.
Don't you remember that?
If we got married,
I think you would hate me.
In fact,
I've read all your novels.
Although they all look like romances,
those female characters
are all independent,
just like you.
You've been doing what you love.
I'm so happy to see
how you are right now.
I'm sorry.
I'M GOING TO GET MARRIED TOMORROW, JIN
THANK YOU! I MISS YOU
CHA: I'VE FOUND A NEW JOB, HONEY.
I'LL BE HERE WAITING FOR YOU.
Take it out!
You're back, honey!
I miss you so much!
You've done a good job, Ru-rong.
You've done a really good job.
Here's two bottles of fine liquor.
Hey, I know you.
Wait…
ARE YOU OKAY, RU-RONG?
I'M FINE. I WANT TO BE ALONE TONIGHT.
TAKE CARE OF MOM.
DRAGON
DRAGON: IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
WHY DON'T WE EAT TOGETHER
WHEN WE'RE FREE?
Min!
How is it?
-Are you happy?
-Yes.
Here.
She can't drink.
I'm okay.
Be back later.
When did you learn to drink?
I didn't know that you can drink.
I was drunk when you were two.
And I dropped you off the bed.
So you're a little bit…
Shit!
Then I swore not to drink again.
You swore?
You've sworn a thousand times.
My brain isn't big enough
for more than one oath.
Really?
One oath at a time.
And now?
-Now you…
-Now your dad's gone.
Auntie Jin is gone.
I changed my mind when I met Robert.
If I drop you now,
you'll get up to strike me.
You're grownups.
And you're old.
It's important that I take care of myself
and don't be a burden to you.
That's what matters.
So I'm going to have fun.
I'll say goodbye to my single life.
Again!
Again!
-Yes!
-Yes!
-Sir, one--
-Here.
Aren't you celebrating over there?
Drink this.
Yes. It's time to celebrate.
How much is it?
Mom is saying goodbye to being single.
So what am I saying goodbye to?
CHA
DELETE IT?
YES
Mei-mei?
Mei-mei.
I gave you a home.
I gave you
a husband
who kept you company for 35 years.
And I gave you two lovely daughters.
I'm starving!
-Finally!
-It's hot.
Then I gave you
my death.
I gave you maps.
I gave you luggages.
What I want to give you the most
is a pair of wings
for you to fly away from me.
Thank you
for making my life perfect.
I'll see you in the life to come.
Your ID card and household certificate.
Here.
Okay. Give me a moment.
ROBERT
A gift for you.
-Thank you.
-Have a baby soon.
ADAPTED FROM CHEN MING-MIN'S NOVEL
Move aside.
I'm getting divorced!
Kate?
Wait for me.
Hey! Slow down.
I'm not getting married.
What's wrong with you?
You're the most beautiful bride.
Three minutes ago,
weren't you discussing the rundown?
I'm upset.
Come on. Tell me.
What are you upset about?
Lower.
Harder.
-Right here?
-Yes.
Wait. Where's the massage gun from?
I've brought it here.
A bride is tense on the wedding day.
You're weird.
What are you upset about?
Listen.
I don't think my husband really loves me.
Take a look at that.
Does my true love do that to the toilet?
The toilet?
Maybe somebody else did that.
I'll get it cleaned up. Calm down.
Bullshit!
I told him this morning
to sit down to pee because I don't want
to walk down the aisle with a bridegroom
with a urine-stained suit.
He didn't listen to me!
Don't make a fuss about nothing.
What if you had a mom like mine?
But your mom is so cool.
You're blessed without knowing it.
I think contemporary women
should be brave in pursuing happiness
like your mom does,
however old they are.
You'll be sentenced to death
when you call her old.
All right. Come on. Let's go on.
Please.
Pretty bride, sit up straight.
Come on.
Tell me.
Can you bear to see your mom get married?
No, I can't.
To the extent that…
I can't eat anything.
I can't sleep.
After work,
the night is long for me at home.
I'm afraid that in my next life
I'll still fall in love deeply
On that long night,
I think I was there too.
It was your bachelorette party.
If not for that,
I'm home every day after work
to wait for my mom's calls.
I didn't know you love your mom so much.
-Let's try your bridal bouquet, miss.
-Okay.
Go.
Come on. This way.
Why has Mom been silent
these couple of days?
HE LEFT ME ON THE WAY
Did I do the right thing?
I didn't even let him explain himself
and came back alone.
Could it be
that Robert has his own troubles?
God,
please tell me.
Why do I have such a hard life?
Have I been a bad person?
Or could it be
that you are making fun of me,
Guang-hui?
Do you have golden kiwis?
I don't want the green ones.
They are hairy.
Hairy…
I'll get them for you from the kitchen.
Excuse me.
Look at my new phone case. It's furry.
It's cute, isn't it?
Do you miss me?
You're cute.
Your fur is so cute!
Hairy and furry.
Why did I check into the hotel?
That's my home.
What am I afraid of?
If those two disobedient girls
laugh at my running away from Australia,
I'll stuff the hairy kiwis
into their mouths.
ALL WILL BE WELL WHEN YOU COME HOME
Do you want some, Mom?
It's delicious.
Boss?
What are you doing?
I have lots of important guests out there.
If you cancel the wedding now,
I'll be dead.
Go to hell then!
You don't love me anyway!
But I do!
You don't! Come on!
When you kiss me,
you just make circles with your tongue
in my mouth.
What are you talking about?
You don't know? Come here. Look at it.
You've peed on the toilet seat.
And you don't get yourself circumcised.
Mind your own business. Come on.
-What?
-Is that relevant to the wedding?
It's nice of Kate to offer you the job.
If she cancels the wedding,
you won't get paid.
Don't worry.
In terms of love,
Kate knows better than you do.
That's one step back
and two steps forward.
Really?
But they're fighting fiercely.
I think she has dynamite in her.
Chen Ru-rong,
you should've learned more from Mom.
She always fought for
whatever she wanted.
And Dad would relent more
the harder she fought for it.
They're just acting.
Yes, you're right.
You're so eloquent
when you're not drunk.
How do you know I didn't drink?
Hey, Ru-rong.
How do they make sure
that they've met the right one?
You don't have to make sure
to get married.
The character "marriage" is composed
of the words "female" and "muddled."
That says it all.
You only get married
when you're muddle-headed.
Then Mom is still muddle-headed.
You're right.
I'm feeling sorry for the old man.
When do you think we'll begin to miss Mom?
We'll see.
I'm in a great mood.
I don't want to think about it.
Me too.
It's all your fault.
You asked me to go on an adventure.
And I ended up with the furry Robert.
He's hairy. And his hair is curly.
I feel sick when I think of it.
He spanked me
when we had sex.
And I endured it.
But when he hugged me,
I couldn't take it anymore.
Did I sleep with a furry ball?
Maybe I should scream,
“Oh yes, baby!”
when I knit a sweater out of his hair.
JIN
You've scared me to death!
Where's my phone?
JIN: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
STILL IN AUSTRALIA?
Where are you texting me?
From up there or down there?
I'M LU YI
This is bad!
I'm so embarrassed!
Oh, my God!
YOU RECEIVED A VIDEO FROM ROBERT
YOU RECEIVED A VIDEO FROM ROBERT
My goodness.
No…
Stop!
No!
I don't want boiled chicken.
I don't understand it.
You are thinking too much.
I answered your phone.
It doesn't mean I'll go to Australia.
What?
You're in Taiwan now?
Where?
You followed me?
-You're sick.
-Only for you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the wedding
of Ms. Zeng and Mr. Jia.
Let's welcome the bride, Kate Zeng,
and Kate's dad.
A round of applause, please.
Next,
let's do the Giving Away of the Bride.
In the sacred ceremony,
Kate's dad is going to offer her hand
to the bridegroom Guo-hui.
Please give the bride
and bridegroom a round of applause again.
Now,
the newlyweds are turning face to face
to exchange the rings.
The best man will provide
the newlyweds with the rings.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's give our blessings
to the newlyweds again.
You're beautiful.
Look at the camera.
Thank you.
Hi.
-It's the most important day in our life.
-Kate! You look amazing!
-Congratulations! You look great.
-Congratulations!
-I'm standing next to him.
-Why are you stealing my place?
Why do you have to do this?
You've been upset since this morning.
Congratulations.
-You look so pretty today.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Really?
Do you really see it as an important day?
To be honest,
I really don't know what you're thinking.
I'm not smart. And I don't like to guess.
-I don't understand the biology
-Come on.
-that you keep babbling about.
-Don't stop. Next one.
-Come on.
-You…
-Congratulations, buddy!
-Congratulations!
-I'll stand here!
-Move over!
-You look great.
-Look at the camera.
You're so gorgeous today.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, buddy.
You're welcome.
I knew you'd choose this dress.
-I'll see you later.
-Okay.
What are you afraid of?
Of me not loving you?
How do you want me to prove it?
As a woman, I want to spend my life
with the man I love.
As a mom,
I want to give my child a complete home.
-Those are my basic instincts.
-Congratulations!
I'm torn between my identities
as a woman and as a mother.
-Do you know what I'm afraid of now?
-Stand closer.
-What?
-Closer.
Here. Please squat a bit. I'll stand.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Hurry up. The next group, please.
-You mean…
It's finally our turn.
-Are you afraid of my mom?
-We've waited so long.
-The bride is gorgeous.
-So gorgeous.
What a beautiful couple!
-Beautiful!
-Don't worry.
She sees you as her own daughter.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
No!
What?
You're pregnant?
I'm going to be a dad.
I'm going to be a dad!
I'm going to be a dad!
I'm going to be a dad!
What's going on? A riot?
Kate just announced that she's pregnant.
Really?
Great. Good things come in pairs.
What's with the long face?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Should we answer it?
Where are those two disobedient girls?
They don't answer my calls.
They don't care about me at all.
Never mind. Just you and me.
We'll have fun.
I'll show you Taiwan. It's so beautiful.
Kate spent lots of money on her reception.
Isn't it crazy?
I haven't eaten anything all day.
It's even crazier.
Your fried chicken is really good.
-You like it?
-Yes.
If you hold your reception here,
the fried chicken is on me.
My reception?
After the violent battle today,
my desire for getting married
has completely gone.
Don't tell your mom.
She'll be disappointed.
Why did you mention that witch?
See what you did.
What do we do now? Are we answering it?
It's her seventh call.
No wonder my eyelid kept twitching.
Are we answering it or not?
Should we ignore her?
Let's answer it together.
One, two, three.
-Mom?
-Mom?
-Min and I were at Kate's wedding.
-I helped with Kate's wedding.
-I collected cash gifts. It was tiring.
-We were too busy to get our phones.
-I haven't eaten anything all day.
-I haven't answered your calls.
-And my feet are sore.
-Don't get mad at me.
-How's Australia?
-And…
-I texted you for a thousand times,
-Having fun?
-Has the old man got his house back?
-but you've left me on read.
-I'm worried about you and Robert.
-We've been worried about you.
Are you all right?
Is everything okay?
Hello?
Hello?
What's wrong?
Can you hear me, Mom?
I'm getting married.
-What?
-What?
-Getting married?
-Getting married?
Mom, don't do that!
I'm on the road in Miaoli.
Come on. Say hello to Robert.
You're in Taiwan?
When did you come back?
Why didn't you tell us?
I'll text you the time and place
of our civil marriage.
If you don't show up,
I'll dissociate myself from you.
Bye.
But…
She hung up.
That's your mom.
MEI-MEI: YOUR DAD WOULD WANT YOU
TO ATTEND MY WEDDING.
-Look! A kangaroo!
-A kangaroo!
-It's a kangaroo!
-A kangaroo!
LOVE YOU
Take a picture!
How handsome and dignified!
Well…
Where are we?
Let's see.
I think it's here.
-Are you sure it's here?
-Where is she meeting us?
-Chen Ru-rong, your hair is a mess.
-Don't laugh at me.
Yours is no better.
This is not soy sauce.
It's soy sauce. That's vinegar.
-You're stupid.
-Wang Mei-mei!
You're here.
Nice to meet you,
Ruo-min and Ru-rong.
Look at the fog.
-Come on, girls. Right here!
-Here.
Group photo. Come on, girls!
Let's take one together.
Nice picture.
-One more.
-Come on, Chen Ru-rong!
I'll count to three.
If you don't get in, we won't get married.
No clothes.
In a hot spring.
Yes. Take it off.
Chen Ruo-min!
Don't forget that we're in this together.
We're here to isolate Mom.
Don't you think the old man is cute?
Have you thought about it?
Maybe Dad wasn't the right man for her.
If Dad got 90 points,
maybe the old man gets 99 points.
There's no such thing!
Hey, you two!
You thought I couldn't hear you?
We're here for the hot spring.
Why do we have to isolate anybody?
Who's here for the hot spring?
I haven't gotten any sleep.
If I don't speak my mind,
I'll suffocate.
Then speak out now. Otherwise, sleep now.
The old man has been clinging to Mom.
How do I tell her?
Nice!
When we have a barbecue,
you'll take the old man away
and I'll talk to Mom.
I can't hear you!
I want to talk to you, Mom.
I know you're awake.
I know you can hear me.
Listen.
Min and I are here to dissuade you,
not to give you our blessings.
Dissuade me?
But why?
Don't you see
how well I've trained the old man?
He'll go wherever I want him to.
He'll shave if I want him to.
He'll marry me if I tell him to.
But Mom,
you're out of your mind.
You haven't got to know him
well enough to marry him.
But Robert and I have been happy.
We're always laughing.
Unlike you
and your long faces.
But I…
Mom,
a lady should age gracefully.
Life is like a bottle of wine.
Making wine takes time. What's the rush?
But I'm great.
Robert has been crazy for me.
Robert is a nice guy.
But he's not smart.
When I stayed in Australia,
I settled all the problems
about his property.
And he's calling me “boss”.
Boss? Doesn't he know you're good
at spending money?
I should've gone abroad earlier.
I'll show you.
Hi, Robert.
My husband…
You're making me sick.
I think Australia
is a magical place.
Love is everywhere.
Right now, in Robert's heart,
I'm his God.
I can do everything,
including fashion design.
Fashion design?
Mom?
What have you done to my uniform?
But it's unique.
That's fashion.
But I can't go to work like this.
Just go.
You'll attract much attention.
Psychological counseling?
Ru-rong?
Open the door!
You need to eat even when you're dumped.
Open the door!
I'll teach you to get another man.
You're dumped.
It's no big deal.
You're a loser!
Ru-rong!
Creative cuisine?
I don't get it.
I've made it with cheese.
Why doesn't it look like a cheesecake?
-So you were making a cheesecake?
-Yes.
You think that
if you put cheese on a cake,
it will be a cheesecake?
Yes. How else is it made?
I've managed to get married anyway.
Unlike the two of you.
Except for getting married,
do you have a better goal in life?
I've got a specific goal,
which is to make myself happy.
No.
What you want is
to find someone and control him.
I wanted to grow old peacefully
with your dad.
But he left me on the way.
I have to take good care of myself.
But Mom,
we're worried about you.
We don't want you
to be taken advantage of.
Don't worry, Min.
Love is like exploration.
You should learn it from me, not her.
She's uptight.
You want her to learn the mess
that you've made?
If she could take care of herself,
she wouldn't have wasted
so much time on that parasite.
Leave me out of it.
It has nothing to do with me.
What now?
You're blaming us,
but we don't need you to be our nanny.
Yes, you busybody!
Min,
don't forget that you're with me.
Why are you speaking for her?
The three of us
are never with one another.
Min?
Shut up. It's none of your business.
Why isn't it her business?
I can't always help or take care
of both of you by myself.
What?
I'm getting married happily.
What's wrong with it? Is that a mistake?
Yes! A big mistake!
Things have been wrong since Dad died.
Stop fighting!
Since Dad died,
we've always been fighting.
Aren't you tired of it?
Stop it!
Fine. I can't argue with you.
After Mom gets married,
I don't want to become your only target.
I'll move out when we're back in Taipei.
Can't you be reasonable, Min?
You can't hurt someone's feelings
and ask her to be reasonable.
-But…
-You big writer!
Did you do that on purpose?
You don't want me to leave you, right?
What?
You're forcing me
to admit that I'm a loser.
If I don't admit it,
you'll keep torturing me.
Ru-rong,
I'll move to Australia
when we get married.
You don't have to force yourself
to play the role of a dad.
Great.
You're getting married.
Dad passed away.
Min is moving out.
I can finally be myself.
Why do you have prenuptial anxiety?
We have LINE
and FaceTime.
If you need me,
you can contact me anytime.
I'm afraid nobody helps you
when you're in trouble.
I'm afraid they blame Dad
for not teaching me well.
I'm afraid Dad would blame me
for not taking care of you.
Why is it Dad that died, not you?
At least,
you and your dad were on the same side.
Ru-rong.
I don't understand.
Why are you marrying her?
You see 10% of her,
just like an iceberg.
Please. Jump now, okay?
She is Rose,
but not Titanic's Rose, okay?
Ru-rong.
It's 10 p.m., honey.
You don't want to talk to me,
but I'm here to mind your house.
The lights are off upstairs. Safe.
Now, I'm--
What's wrong with the door?
The lock is broken.
So I'll get somebody to fix it.
What?
Can you put the phone on mute?
Okay.
It's noisy.
The door lock is fine.
Nobody is going to break in.
I don't smell gas.
It's safe.
Don't worry.
You're not home,
but I'm always here.
Hi, sister.
You're here again, handsome boy.
How have you been?
I'm fine.
What is it?
Your wife kicked you out again?
No. They're not home.
I'm here to mind the house.
-There's someone?
-Say hi to them.
-Hi!
-Hi!
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
Not yet?
Come on. I'll make something for you.
It smells good.
It smells really good.
Come in.
It's okay.
I'll drink. You're safe.
If you're sick, you'll cry and you'll die.
I'll take all your money.
I feel sorry for you.
-Delicious beans and sausages. Try them.
-Do you want to try that?
-All those free of charge are the best.
-Delicious beans and sausages.
All those free of charge are expensive.
-Do you want some?
-Give me a moment.
-No.
-I only eat big ones.
Chen Ru-rong?
Dragon Huang?
What are you doing here?
-I've been transferred back to Taiwan.
-He is her ex-boyfriend.
It's not easy to get new employees.
As a manager,
I need to promote our products personally.
When will you get off work?
She's free today.
You haven't seen her for a long time.
Have a chat.
-What are you talking about?
-Yes. He's a married man.
What does it matter?
Robert!
What a small world!
You don't go out much.
The world is small to you.
You were shopping with your family?
But where's your dad?
And who was
that foreigner?
My dad passed away five years ago.
The foreigner is my mom's new boyfriend.
I'm here to dissuade her.
I'm not on vacation.
You don't have to say sorry.
So?
Are you married?
What?
Are you laughing at me?
Listen. I'm not waiting for you.
You were so merciless
to break up with me.
You didn't even call me.
I checked my emails every day.
I didn't want to miss any of your emails.
I don't know how long I locked myself up.
Wait, Ru-rong.
Is that the truth?
I remember it was you
who closed yourself up to write a novel
and you didn't want me to disturb you.
And you…
Wait. I remember it.
You were awarded Best New Writer.
You told me that you had to prove yourself
and didn't want me to contact you anymore.
And…
And you never contacted me again.
My goodness!
You're a scum, Dragon Huang!
Your mom didn't like me
and you never spoke for me.
Don't you remember that?
If we got married,
I think you would hate me.
In fact,
I've read all your novels.
Although they all look like romances,
those female characters
are all independent,
just like you.
You've been doing what you love.
I'm so happy to see
how you are right now.
I'm sorry.
I'M GOING TO GET MARRIED TOMORROW, JIN
THANK YOU! I MISS YOU
CHA: I'VE FOUND A NEW JOB, HONEY.
I'LL BE HERE WAITING FOR YOU.
Take it out!
You're back, honey!
I miss you so much!
You've done a good job, Ru-rong.
You've done a really good job.
Here's two bottles of fine liquor.
Hey, I know you.
Wait…
ARE YOU OKAY, RU-RONG?
I'M FINE. I WANT TO BE ALONE TONIGHT.
TAKE CARE OF MOM.
DRAGON
DRAGON: IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
WHY DON'T WE EAT TOGETHER
WHEN WE'RE FREE?
Min!
How is it?
-Are you happy?
-Yes.
Here.
She can't drink.
I'm okay.
Be back later.
When did you learn to drink?
I didn't know that you can drink.
I was drunk when you were two.
And I dropped you off the bed.
So you're a little bit…
Shit!
Then I swore not to drink again.
You swore?
You've sworn a thousand times.
My brain isn't big enough
for more than one oath.
Really?
One oath at a time.
And now?
-Now you…
-Now your dad's gone.
Auntie Jin is gone.
I changed my mind when I met Robert.
If I drop you now,
you'll get up to strike me.
You're grownups.
And you're old.
It's important that I take care of myself
and don't be a burden to you.
That's what matters.
So I'm going to have fun.
I'll say goodbye to my single life.
Again!
Again!
-Yes!
-Yes!
-Sir, one--
-Here.
Aren't you celebrating over there?
Drink this.
Yes. It's time to celebrate.
How much is it?
Mom is saying goodbye to being single.
So what am I saying goodbye to?
CHA
DELETE IT?
YES
Mei-mei?
Mei-mei.
I gave you a home.
I gave you
a husband
who kept you company for 35 years.
And I gave you two lovely daughters.
I'm starving!
-Finally!
-It's hot.
Then I gave you
my death.
I gave you maps.
I gave you luggages.
What I want to give you the most
is a pair of wings
for you to fly away from me.
Thank you
for making my life perfect.
I'll see you in the life to come.
Your ID card and household certificate.
Here.
Okay. Give me a moment.
ROBERT
A gift for you.
-Thank you.
-Have a baby soon.

I'm getting divorced!
