In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did?
Ah Ping
Have no idea.
Chow Mo-wan
They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.
Ah Ping
What a pain! I'd just go to get laid.
Chow Mo-wan
Not everyone's like you.

I didn't think you'd fall in love with me.
Chow Mo-wan
I didn't either. I was only curious to know how it started. Now I know. Feelings can creep up just like that. I thought I was in control.

Chow Mo-wan
That handbag I saw you with this evening... Where did you buy it?
Su Li-zhen Chan
Why do you ask?
Chow Mo-wan
It looked so elegant. I want to get one for my wife.
Su Li-zhen Chan
Mr. Chow, you're so good to your wife!
Chow Mo-wan
Not really! My wife is so fussy. Her birthday is some days away. I don't know what to get her. Could you buy one for me to give her?
Su Li-zhen Chan
Maybe she wouldn't want one just exactly the same.
Chow Mo-wan
You're right, I didn't think of that.
Su Li-zhen Chan
A woman would mind.
Chow Mo-wan
Yes, especially since we're neighbors. Do they come in other colors?
Su Li-zhen Chan
I'd have to ask my husband.
Chow Mo-wan
Why?
Su Li-zhen Chan
He bought it for me on a business trip abroad. They aren't on sale here.
Chow Mo-wan
Then never mind.
Su Li-zhen Chan
Actually... I want to ask you something too. Where did you buy your tie?
Chow Mo-wan
I don't know where it came from. My wife buys all my ties.
Su Li-zhen Chan
Really?
Chow Mo-wan
She bought this one on a business trip abroad. It's not on sale here.
Su Li-zhen Chan
What a coincidence!
Chow Mo-wan
Yes.
Su Li-zhen Chan
Actually... My husband has one just like it. He said it was a gift from his boss. So he wears it every day.
Chow Mo-wan
And my wife has a bag just like yours.
Su Li-zhen Chan
I know, I've seen it.
Chow Mo-wan
What are you getting at, actually?
Su Li-zhen Chan
I thought I was the only one who knew.
