WHAT FOLLOWS IS A RE-CONSTRUCTION OF TRUE MEMORIES
SHARED BY FILIPINA DOMESTIC WORKERS IN HONG KONG
WE DON'T DANCE FOR NOTHING
I've never told you any of this before.
My memories of that room are a blur.
Little flashes of the truth
faded over time.
The details of living in somebody else's world
have left.
I'll have to re-create it, all for you.
Some things are barely there
but others
the body never forgets.
You're cooking?
I was just making the kids' lunch for tomorrow.
Canceled. Another protest.
Should I pack it up?
Should have checked.
Where are the kids?
Piano.
I can pick them up later.
No no, that's my job.
What's that?
Why did you open that? It was supposed to be a surprise.
Sorry, Ma'am. I thought it's the new pans for the kitchen.
Does it say your name on the package?
I'll repack it, Ma'am. Or I'll giftwrap, better than new?
That sound still rings so clear.
But my image of her
comes only in fragments.
I always knew
I would need to make a run for it.
Did H have her dinner?
- Of course. - But when?
I don't know, earlier I guess.
What did she eat?
- H! Did you have your... - Shh!
She's working, can't you see?
But I want to show her my new skates.
- H! - Come on.
What's wrong? You tired of your own parents?
You guys are really just squares...
MILLIONS DEMAND DEMOCRACY IN HONG KONG
It's a shame they never told our story.
We never made the news
but Sundays belonged to us.
There was as many of us helpers on the streets as the protesters.
After all the cooking, cleaning, and complaining
me and my girls, and thousands more... danced
just so we could feel like we existed.
Can we get moving finally?
Babe... just eat.
So her Ma'am kept saying "Shorter, shorter! Like a school-boy."
You know P used to cut hair.
But I'm not cheap.
Get out of here! If it were my hair, you'd be paying me.
Your hair is so thick, I wouldn't even be able to find a comb.
But where is she now?
I think they locked her in the house.
So her Ma'am says to the guy
"If my helper doesn't have her hair cut nice and short like a boy, I'll shave it all off myself!"
Except the witch didn't know she'd look even sexier with short hair.
They were beautiful.
Maybe even more than I remember.
But I knew... they would spend the rest of their days
on pause.
So now they're going to terminate her?
This year she would have gotten her "long-service" payment.
Isn’t her Sir crazy also?
They said the agency can help her.
Before they deport her in two weeks?
Good luck, she's going to have to go back to Philippines.
At least redo all the medical stuff.
But the agency guaranteed her.
Bullshit.
She has family, right?
Of course.
A little baby girl, right?
She's leaving so we follow.
She needs to be... Ferberized.
- Fried rice? - No, "Ferberize".
- Burger and fries? - Cut it out.
No, "Ferberize", I learned this the hard way. When a baby screams, you can't give in
- or it only gets worse. Let her go. - Don't follow.
Stay here, good idea.
Where are we going?
Those girls...
It was all talk and no action.
I learnt that if you just got up and left
they would follow like sheep.
- She better not be taking us to Repulse. - Look at this lady.
6 months with a new boss, already too good for Repulse Bay!
I bet it's nice to be an American out there.
Americans are yummy.
Not the Americans, the life.
Do you actually know the right stop?
You know her... Just stringing us along everywhere.
It’s always like that.
This better be some kind of surprise party.
Surprise! H found the one street empty on a Sunday.
You don't like hanging out with your own people, H?
Always complaining, old lady.
- She's still stuck in "home" mode. - Come on, smile.
Just move your body, all your troubles will be gone.
That place was forgettable, but our dancing...
I can still hit the steps, with my eyes closed.
Most people dance to disappear.
They move their bodies to blend into a party.
It was different for us.
We don't dance for nothing.
Guys...
CPR!
Ambulance!
Can I take one?
COOKING AND CLEANING
- Oh, but these are the last two. - Sorry...
It's just... I will be busy today. I don't have time for lunch today.
You can go pick up more, right? Around the corner?
- Just around the corner. - Okay, Ma'am.
Asshole.
Can you take us with a taxi to swimming today? I don't like the bus.
Okay Sir, Mr. VIP Sir.
I'd be happy to escort you to...
the bus.
Your school sweater?
I lost it.
Ms. Ling is gonna yell at you again
and when she yells at you, guess who yells at me.
- Find it then. - Get it yourself!
- Shut up! - Hey!
Come on.
It's not there.
Really, it's not there?
What's that? Take it. Come on, let's go.
- Okay, let's take a taxi. - You think you're smart?
You're taking the bus.
What's wrong with you guys today?
Hello?
H, can you hear me? I need you to come home.
Can you pick up chocolate cake? And some wine.
- Yes Sir, give me 30 minutes. - Aren't you at the supermarket?
- I'm at the wet market, Sir. - Why?
- The meat is most fresh here. - I've been there before.
Sometimes the vegetables are unwashed. Even the corn has worms.
Because Sir, sometimes the food allowance isn't enough, so I have to...
Hey, listen. Talk later, I have to go.
Some good news for everybody.
You guys are going to have a new friend.
HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CAKE
H... Here, let me do it.
You guys will need to be generous with your toys, and your room.
Oh my God.
Why?
Because there's going to be someone very little and very new to play with your toys.
What?!
Mom got knocked up?
Where does he learn these things?
I told you, international school, they start to sound like Americans.
We speak Chinese! You're so annoying.
H, can you serve the cake please?
Yes Sir.
When?
- Just a few months from now. - How many?
Nine total, but actually, we've known it for a few months already.
And why didn't you tell us?
We wanted to make sure your baby brother or sister was coming for sure
and was good and healthy.
Thanks, H.
I hope it's a girl.
It will actually be a surprise for all of us.
Sisters are not that great.
I bet H also wants a sister.
Where will we put the baby?
In the living room with H.
We're not gonna move? Don't we need a bigger house?
I think the baby should be in our room.
No, I need to sleep.
But H has never cared for a newborn.
Then what did we get a helper for? It's fine, we'll just bring out the crib.
A third child? In Hong Kong?
That old hag can still get pregnant?
- Seems like risky times to have a baby. - Yeah.
Our baby H is going to be a baby mama.
You're going to learn so much.
Yes, and get ready for the crying.
She already whines as much as a baby.
Her Ma'am can put them both on timeout and “fried rice” them together.
"Ferberize".
Hey! How are you man?
Go up to the bridge. I need to clear the area
so these cockroaches can destroy it again.
Don't you know that we're locked up all week and only get this one day off?
You see me getting any days off, sister? Come on, go somewhere, don't be here.
Why don't you join us?
- I don't dance, thank you. - But you're too handsome not to dance.
- Come on... - We just want a strong man to join us.
Why every Sunday, same thing?
Guys, I have my box.
You packed a person in here?
You know they have weight limits.
Unlimited weight for Balikbayan boxes. You don't know anything?
Sundays in Central, you only see two things.
Helpers sending home their Balikbayan boxes
and dancing...
Guys, it's already twelve, we haven't even started yet.
Hey, why don't you get lost!
Go away, go away!
I don't dance, come on, don't touch it!
They were teasing, but
imagine if he really knew how to dance.
Hi Sis! How are you?
Where’s Rosa?
I'm okay.
Someone should probably give her CPR.
I'm not kidding!
Quick! Get her some burger and fried rice!
I'm serious!
Or some milk tea?
You know they'll block the train soon.
They're gonna put some fire.
Lots of work for me to clean.
How will we get back?
Now come on, go to the beach.
You trying to gather all the helpers in one place, and push us out to sea?
No... I know you guys like to go and take your sexy photos.
You have to find a boyfriend. Go to Wan Chai and find a boyfriend, and leave me alone.
OMG.
"Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong"
The slogan heard around the city every day now, as Hong Kong enters its fourteenth week of protest.
Do you miss home?
No, dear.
She likes us more than home. That's why Mom always yells at her.
You never tell us what happened to your real family.
It's okay. It's not important.
But don't you ever get tired of working here?
I have to be here to take care of you guys.
I don't need anybody to take care of me!
I'm gonna run away. Forget this place!
Actually, you know what... let's run.
Let's make an escape! We can just open the window and go.
Can we find a place with no rules?
Somewhere we can run fast.
No rules? F the Popo!
Don't ever say that! You could get in a lot of trouble.
So this place has blue water and yellow sunshine.
You still can't do bad things, but as long as you don't hurt anybody
you're free to do whatever you like.
Will you still be you? And will we still be we?
You can be anybody you want.
Do we still have to go swimming?
Yes, but you'll be learning in the sea!
- Really? Yay! - Oh my God.
Your parents can't know.
Time for bed.
Maybe... I can go there in my dreams tonight.
You'll bring us, right?
Another one.
Another one!
Do you guys want a picture?
Sure.
Here you go.
Do you know how to swim?
Yeah I already said, she’s a “tomboy”?
Is she “less-bian” or is she “more-bian”?
Quick, let's dance!
You’re nervous.
Slow down, just relax.
Look at your friend go.
You act shy.
You like girls?
I like people who make me forget.
Why can't you do that on your own?
Has that ever worked for you?
How can I forget my whole life back home?
To this day, whenever people talk about what they have back home
I ask them their favorite food, right away.
Hot bulalo on a breezy day.
Like today.
But not like here.
Here people just pass the time.
You don't like your friends?
Or you just miss home?
No.
Filipinas and locals, none of them live for fireworks.
I see plenty of “fireworks” in Central recently.
Have you walked down the streets?
You know those massive fish the restaurants keep for display, in those tiny tanks?
The ones rich people can pay to set free and clean their consciences.
Imagine how much that one lucky fish lives each moment now.
Are you the fish that got released, or
the one still in the tank?
I'm like a fish on the TV.
A rare and colourful one that swims really fast
but the TV is paused.
It's not that far, you know.
If you just kept swimming that way and didn't stop
what would you reach, some place like Australia?
Home.
Back home
family was nonstop celebrations
and mine was happy
until they got crashed so fast, it sent them straight to heaven.
Living with the aunts and cousins, I wasn't lonely.
They took care of me
but the way you do with your good furniture.
Every time there was a new baby
I could feel I was different.
I smiled through it all
but there's nowhere worse to dance solo than a big Filipino family.
I thought you were asleep?
Sorry, Sir.
Curfew was four hours ago. This is a family.
You don't see what's happening in Hong Kong?
Sorry Sir, I'm going to bed now.
Where did you get those clothes?
My head... can only hold on to so much
but my fingers... they still remember wiping the rooms down, each morning.
Hello?
Sometimes, if nobody was home
I would touch their old souvenirs, and feel their adventures.
"In the town of lights"
"Of sounds and sights"
"I'll catch a flight"
"Sleep well tonight."
No, no, no, no.
What happened to you?
Nothing, Ma'am.
I need you to steam this, before I leave the house again.
What time are you leaving?
I don't know, just do it now.
Fight for freedom! Stand with Hong Kong!
There were so many fighting to be free
but I wondered
how many of them went home to dinner cooked by someone like me?
“Fight for freedom! Stand with the helpers!”
Can we have some of that "freedom" too?
We should get out of this ungrateful city.
Let’s take a trip.
Let's move, the police might come out.
No way, they should move, Sundays belong to us.
Let's take a trip. Somewhere far from home.
We are far from home.
Far from here.
I'm serious, we can sync our off-times and run.
Should we invite them too?
Why are you mocking them?
What place do you want to go?
Somewhere new, I just don't want to waste our time.
I rather just go home and see my girl.
No, for H that's "wasting your time".
Wasting my life!
Can't we run somewhere for a week and make memories?
Why can't you make them here?
You guys don't want to?
We can't.
If you don't, one day you'll regret it.
No I won't.
Isn't your Ma'am having a baby?
- What's that supposed to mean? - You want us to break our contracts.
Sir and Ma'am always ignore the contract.
Exactly! Your life is going by like a little clock, unless you do something!
But you don't really know what you're looking for.
Is this all from that girl?
No!
You should go to Jamaica.
Jamaica man!
Or how about America?
Stop it!
Or how about North Pole?
We'll get a postcard from her, bundled up like a baby!
With some penguins!
One toe in the ice and she'll come running straight back to Hong Kong!
She'll need some tea, better start boiling the water now!
Are you hungry? Let’s get Chinese?
I hate Chinese food, so slimy.
You only like white boys.
Chinese food is beautiful.
It looks like what it is
and when it's an animal
you can say 'thank you' to its face.
How to get his attention?
Say "Mhgoi".
Unggoy! Hello, unggoy!
- They can't tell the difference? - Be careful.
He might actually bring you some monkey soup!
- You say this around your boss too? - And nobody notices.
"Monkey!"
What do you want?
Do you have fried chicken?
- Chicken, you know? - He no speak English lah...
And how about beef?
How about pork? Like this.
- Yeah, her sister. - Yeah, like me, oink oink.
It’s settled.
Sisters forever.
Everyone was mesmerised.
She was like a famous person.
If she walked down the street, people would give way.
Can she sing for real?
She hates her real voice, I've never heard her sing once.
How long have you known her?
Only long enough to be confused by her.
So your off-time is currently scheduled for the week I'm due.
I need you to take it earlier.
I would like to have you back in time for...
We're really going to need your help.
When?
You know when.
How about we move your leave two weeks earlier?
I'll check, cause I might have my...
Actually, how about you take a shorter trip this time
so we don't cut it too close
and I'll give you extra days, next year.
But I might have some things with my family.
What family?
Of course, I knew she knew that.
I just wanted to see if she would do something for me once.
I'm sorry.
I just thought you'd want to be here with us, during this time.
Do you?
Yes.
I have something I want to show you.
Since I'm a bit older, they had to check everything.
Samuel didn't want to know, but
she's a girl.
You're so good with the kids.
Somehow you're their favorite thing in the world.
They see you as their own.
It's like this one will be yours.
So this is how a heart breaks.
Silently and delicately.
Just blown away, in the softest breeze.
It must be a sign.
Why else would the universe move your off-time earlier?
My friends think I'm crazy.
Nobody does anything bold anymore.
At least you're trying.
Actually, now I remember.
She wasn't really there.
She just called me on the phone, I think.
Really? Your Ma’am is pregnant?
It's not good news?
I want to run away.
I found this magazine full of beaches.
I can't read Chinese. There's a photo of a big cave, I think it's in Thailand.
Be careful with caves.
This one looks like you need to drive.
You know how?
I could learn.
A big stone building in a circle, like a temple.
Rome?
I'm going.
You're gonna stowaway?
I'll leave during my off-time.
You don't want another kid?
- It's not that. - Then why?
You know, I had a friend who "stowawayed" in the UK when her Ma'am brought her.
She had a cousin who promised her a job, so she disappeared from her Ma'am.
She thought she finally had her revenge, but the very next day, she gets a knock on her door
and the immigration officer plucks her right back.
What happened to her?
You shouldn't mess too much with white people.
They have special powers.
But her Ma'am knew what city she was in.
I'm not a stowaway.
Leaving and not returning equals... "stowaway".
Well then I’m a stowaway butterfly.
Nobody can predict where I go.
True.
Nobody would dare harm a butterfly.
Will you join me?
They treating you wrong?
Helpers are not supposed to be too pretty, or too smart.
You are both.
It wasn't what she said
but the way she made me feel
that comes rushing back to me.
Guys! Guess what.
It’s a special day today, so I'm going to give you something before ice skating.
What are you gonna give us?
No, you're not allowed.
- Can we go to... - No.
- Please. - That's not allowed, Sir banned that.
Hey! Don't you dare!
Hey!
Stop right now!
Stop!
- Larry! - Stop following me, go away!
There's a car!
- Come back here! - Stop, you idiot!
- Stop following me! - Asshole!
It's a miracle that boy didn't end up in jail
but secretly, I was grateful he made me run
like if I just kept running, everything would be okay.
“Stop following me”... really?
- You naughty kid! - Oww!
You sound like a minion.
And now you're playing this game, like those raptors, right?
- Like Jurassic Park? Is that you? - Just one game!
Come on. You can't play these violent games anymore, let's go!
Give me that, give me that!
Mini, let's go. Come on!
- Just one... - Come on! Let's go!
Pull your brother!
You're so annoying.
Wow, you're flying!
Are you having fun?
I wonder if I could practice my driving here.
Okay, listen. Only one round.
But it's our secret.
Take care of your sister.
Rome?
Yes Sir, you can take the difference out of my salary.
You're taking your off-time with friends?
You want me to buy you a flight to Rome
and you're going to go all the way there, and come all the way back?
- Yes, Sir. - Won't we need you to be here for the birth?
- Have you discussed with... - It was Ma'am's idea, Sir.
I'm taking the leave early, so I'll be back.
But you know it's against the contract?
I know, but two years ago I wasn't allowed to take my off-time, which is also...
It's fine. Just be safe.
Thank you Sir.
H.
What did you do with our children, two Thursdays ago after school?
Thursday...
Skating, Ma'am.
So you took them from school to skating?
- Yes, Ma'am. - At 3:30?
Yes, I...
So why did they call me that they were a full hour late?
- Oh, I'm sorry, we... - You lied...
You lied.
Say it.
I lied.
So now the truth. What happened?
If you took them to video games, you can forget about your fancy trip!
- I brang them to the park, Sir. - Which park?
- Victoria Park. - Why bring them to the park?
- Don’t lie! - I just think we can do something different.
And not tell anyone?
It was just an hour!
So stealing our children is okay, if it's quick?
- I was not! - So what were you?
I was just...
It's my fault.
I ran to the park, and she followed.
Since you decided to let your kids miss half the class
it will come out of your pay.
You usually just show up?
It’s so nice here.
Let's get out of this place.
What about your boss?
There's two other helpers.
Run away with me.
To Rome?
We'll make it how we like.
Even if you make it, what will you do?
Work, start a life. I'll pay your flight.
I need the paycheck here.
We can earn money wherever we go.
I have a family that needs the money.
We'll get better jobs!
I don't just live for myself.
- Trust me. - I have a son.
You can do better for him!
No I can't!
Why not?
I'm a maid!
You shouldn't let them do that to you.
I have my boy.
I can feel my life is somewhere out there
but I'm here living somebody else's life by mistake.
My life.
What's his name?
Your son.
Ramon.
When did you last see him?
Nineteen months ago.
Your last off-time?
He would barely look me in the eyes.
Why?
It was just another time I betrayed him.
- How could you say that? - I left.
To give him a chance.
He's too young to understand.
The first time I walked out the door, I didn't say goodbye.
I thought he might cry, and if he cried
I wouldn't have the strength to leave.
So I just went.
And he thought it was forever?
I'm such an idiot.
My friend Cris, you met him right?
His little girl doesn't even remember him when he goes back.
Her daddy hurt her so deep, she chose to forget.
When you visit home, how does it end?
I tell him it's only for now.
And he doesn't believe you.
He's growing up, and I'm not there.
"Ramon..."
"Look in my eyes."
“No matter where I am, you're part of me.”
"When you run in the streets and stumble, I feel the scrape."
"Every inch of you."
Do you know what he said to me last time?
"Mama..."
“When you leave”
"is it because... do you not care?"
And I told him
"I feel dead inside without you."
“But we need to be patient.”
“If you can be patient for me”
"I can endure all the pain."
"I can be so strong."
"I can be anything for you."
But...
his eyes speak to me.
"You can be anything, except here."
I used to be his whole world.
No.
When you walked out that door
you gave him the whole world.
And he lost his Mama.
You'll always be Mama.
It's not about showing up for the birthdays, graduations, or special occasions.
It's not even enough that he's made of me.
It's about the number of little breaths you've shared together.
I wouldn't know.
You don't know?
When those kids wake up in the middle of the night with a bad fever dream
who's the one who gets up and helps them sleep?
If you run from them, say goodbye.
Can I ask you a question?
What's it like to give birth?
Like seeing your own beating heart, for the first time.
What you're holding in your hands, that's all of you there is.
When do you leave?
November 1.
I don't think you should see me again.
You have better days ahead.
I wish I asked her to play some goodbye songs.
One for me
one for all the little boys and girls
awake at night, missing their Mama's.
Ma'am.
I'm okay.
- Can you make me some tea? - Of course.
This helps.
How old are you?
Twenty-six.
When I was your age
I had Mini
and everything stopped.
Sam and I, we used to be best friends.
But suddenly, with a new baby
we did everything together, in one little room.
You stayed at home?
We didn't have you back then.
Every minute, within arm's reach of each other
but it just didn't feel like we were spending time together.
It felt like an accident.
I'd been telling them I was too afraid of the protest to see them
but it was a bad excuse, because most helpers rather be tear-gassed, than stay in their boss' place on a Sunday.
You'll never be able to work in Hong Kong again, you're not afraid?
She's blind, like those kids running around the streets with their black clothes and yellow hats
without a clue. Like confused bumble-bees.
Those kids have a thousand times the heart as you.
They're fighting for something not real.
What's not real is all of this.
This is life, that's a fantasy, a bunch of people blocking the road for no reason.
No, that's a bunch of people showing up together to not lose hope.
H, think about when you're actually gone. You'll be alone.
- I'll be moving fast. - You'll be illegal.
Free like a bird.
And without papers, can never go to the hospital if you're sick.
Do you know someone who can find you work?
Do you even have money for the flight?
- Yes. - You got it from your Ma'am? How much?
- It's mine. - How did you get it?
I saved it!
You're lucky you can save it.
You're lucky you have someone to send it to.
What if they catch you?
You know what they do with stowaways in Europe now?
I'm not a stowaway.
Babe, you're going to leave this place, and it won't be here for you to come back.
First thing when I get there, I'm going to find the prettiest beach.
I'll put on my best red dress, and dance and splash in the water all by myself
in thanks that I won't be coming back.
It gets easier.
I've been here six years.
Twenty-four. How are your Ma'am and Sir?
Let me tell you.
At first, they're your boss and they drive you hard
They realise they need you, and it turns to love.
Last year, my Ma'am came up to me:
"Ama, you're so good to my Kelvin, can I register you as an emergency guardian?"
So we all went to sign the papers together. It was the happiest moment of my life.
It's also about you. You came for a job, but it will become love for you too.
You won't fall in love with this new baby, when it follows you around like a duckling?
You think you're part of the "family"?
What kind of food you cook every day for your "family"?
Chinese food, right?
But they know you hate Chinese food.
In twenty-four years, how many times have they asked if you want to cook something different?
I cook them Chinese so they feel happy
just like when we go to a Chinese restaurant, to make you happy.
It's called "caring".
It's called "control".
Besides, I'm not asking your permission.
I'm saying goodbye.
I'm not proud of that.
Only later did I realise, they must have thought I was so selfish.
You guys know, my cousin is coming to Hong Kong.
Her lazy son-of-a-bitch father lost all the money I sent them playing cards.
So no school for her, she needs to come work.
At least you'll be with her now.
But I work like a slave here so she never has to come do what I do.
She's top of her class.
Look at how our lives turned out.
Let H try something different.
So quick, I didn't even see them leave
and I definitely didn't hear a goodbye.
I was sure it was the end for Hong Kong.
Everyone would soon be leaving, not just me.
But I wondered
what would happen to all the kids?
You're packing for your off-time already?
Go back to bed, honey.
This is all you have?
No, I'm just straightening up.
You're a bad liar.
I'm packing because I need to believe it.
When are you coming back?
You guys will have a new friend, very soon.
You won't come back?
If I'm not with you, how can I fall asleep again?
She's leaving because Hong Kong is dying.
I'm just your helper. Your parents will protect you with their lives.
Not like you would.
You won't even tell us where this place is?
It's my only secret.
I need to have something just for me.
Don't you want that for your H?
- Are you going because of us? - Of course not.
We won't complain ever again!
Not so loud...
Listen.
Your lives are my life's best part.
When I get there, I'll send you a big Balikbayan box.
There's no weight limit, so I'll pack it very full.
What's that?
A box full of little snacks and presents, it's for the ones you care the most.
Is that why Mom said we were your kids?
Just trust me.
Please stay.
Ow!
What are you doing there?
Are you okay?
I already signed them up for the 2 PM class, you should have the record.
Yes, yes, yes. We paid already. You should have the record.
Hey. I need that receipt for the Sunday school.
- These people are such... - I didn't get a receipt.
- You didn't pay? - No, I paid, I just didn't ask for a receipt.
Didn't I tell you to make sure you get a receipt?
I don't think so.
Not this time, but in general.
It's okay. It's my fault.
Can you fetch my blue qipao?
I need to have it altered before this weekend.
Okay, I'll bring it to you later, Ma'am.
Can't you get it now?
Oh, no Ma'am, I was in the middle of tidying up there.
What's going on?
I just sent it to Mr. Soong to wash, I will pick it up later.
What were you doing?
I just had a lot of laundry, and...
It's silk.
You need to hand-wash. Don't you know how long I've treasured that?
I thought only the red one is the silk.
So the others you can just do whatever?
I'm sorry, Ma'am.
Why would you wash it, if it's clean?
- I was tidying up. - You were meddling!
- I was doing my job. - Your job is to ruin my clothes?
- I said I'm sorry, right? - I don't care!
I need you to follow the rules, and they're right there on the door!
Did you forget how to read?!
Do you think you follow the rules all the time?!
How about I list all the rules you break on the contract, before you even get out of bed in the...
I'll follow the rules next time.
Maybe I need to cancel that flight.
Please don't.
I'm not sure if she was really so cruel, or if I just needed her to be.
I will take them with a taxi.
You'll hit traffic. It's faster to take MTR and walk.
You sure?
Trust me.
Come on, your food will get cold.
Have a seat.
I have a lot of dishes Sir.
H...
You ready for your flight home?
Yes Sir.
You know, maybe next time you can still go to Rome.
I've been to Rome once... or was it Athens?
Do you have to work late tonight? I really don't feel very well.
Should be okay.
I need to lay down.
Have a good trip... I'm sorry, about your arm.
What's the matter with you guys? You're so quiet today.
Your H will be back before you know it. Just ten days, don't worry.
Text us, when you land.
It's okay guys. You know how to be good when I'm gone.
Bye.
Bye bye.
At that moment, I wanted nothing more
than for that not to be the last time I saw them
because as they looked back
in the last breath
I looked down.
Philippine Airlines flight 305 to Rome, with service through Manila
now welcomes our business class passengers to board the aircraft.
Just for once, I wanted to let someone down.
Was this a real flight?
Where were the people?
Flight 305 boarding groups "H".
Only groups "H".
Boarding now.
“You should go to Jamaica.”
“North Pole!”
"America!"
"Even if you make it, what will you do?"
"You know what they do with stowaways in Europe now?"
"I'm not a stowaway!"
this is the final boarding call for flight 305. All groups boarding.
DEPARTURES
Yes?!
The gate is closing in five minutes.
Wait! North Point. King's Road!
North Point has road blocks! You have to walk there.
Be careful!
It's okay, H. Just go with the kids.
Downstairs.
- H! - How did you get here?
You're supposed to be on the plane!
- What's happened to your flight? - Did the doctors come?
Mom and Dad were so scared! Are you okay?
Why are you down here?
They were screaming, they didn't think the ambulance could get here!
They said we couldn't go to the hospital, what's going on?
Is the baby dead?
Nothing like that, it's all okay.
She just came a little early.
It's a girl.
Yes.
Is it bad luck that she came early?
No.
Then why did it happen so suddenly?
Cause she couldn't wait to meet you.
Did you hold her?
No.
But I told her that you two are really good kids.
- Let's go see her! - You will soon, don't worry.
You'll get to do everything with her.
I don't want to stay here anymore!
Close your eyes. You're safe here.
Close your eyes.
You're going to go to school with her every morning, holding hands with each other.
I'm scared, H.
You have to be brave.
You have to teach her what's right, and what's wrong
and you have to protect her.
You're gonna make so many friends.
Some will grow next to you, and
some will grow apart.
And maybe, one of them can do magic on you.
And you can travel the world with that person.
But if that person tramples over your little hearts
you'll have to be there to stand up for each other.
I don't want my heart to hurt.
It's part of life.
You will heal, and you will do it over and over again
until you find the person whose hands will fit perfect in yours.
Will we have kids?
One day.
Yes, you will just wake up, and then you realize
it's time to become Mama's and Papa's yourselves.
And then your kids... they will grow up
and they will have their own love stories.
They will have their own kids, and you'll become Grandma's and Grandpa's
and you can show me the photos.
You'll have so many memories together.
Starting now.
The day you guys met your baby sister.
And the day you came back.
- Mommy! - Mom!
Hey...
Say hello to your sister.
Hi baby.
My angels.
What's her name?
Camila.
Camila?
Camila...
Would you like to hold her?
Camila...
What do you remember?
Were you listening?
Did you feel warm, in my touch?
I've told you all my memory.
But there was more...
The moments in between.
The ones you didn't hold on to.
You life wasn't only what you remember.
You gave up your dreams... for me.
When I came back, you saved me.
You raised me.
And all these years, you kept the pain to yourself.
So why are you telling me now?
The first time I took you into my arms
I made you a promise.
You're leaving again.
It's my time now.
I still dream...
Do you regret me?
No.
Will you forgive me?
Yes.
WE DON'T DANCE FOR NOTHING
