Chan Ka Kui:
[phone call]
Uncle Bill! I'm calling you right now from Australia and I'm having a great time! I'm talking to you while enjoying my great view. Wow! Working for the FSB is great. I have a sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi. Oh, wait a second. My koala bear just came out. Uncle Bill: [on the other end of the call] What? You mean in your hotel room? It's only a toy, right? Chan Ka Kui: No. It's the real thing! [hands the phone to the koala bear] Chan Ka Kui: Say hi to Uncle Bill. [takes the phone back] Chan Ka Kui: He's too shy. Don't hang up. Hong Kong Policeman: [to Bill] He's living it up. I should've gone with him. Chan Ka Kui: Really. I'm not making this up! What else? Money... clothes... car. I feel almost like James Bond. Except no gorgeous girls. Uncle Bill: Hey. If all of this is for real, you should be very careful. Chan Ka Kui: Okay. So long. Bye bye. [hangs up] Uncle Bill: [to the policeman] Do you think he went crazy on this assignment? Maybe he's overworked. See more » |
