You're from mental hospital? How long ago?

Why didn't you inform me when you came out?

Don't go!

I'll be back soon!

Sure?

So early?

Your mom?

Haven't slept the whole night

My new client!

What's up?

I take shift for you

Are you free?

I'll talk to you later!

Good morning!

Why are you here?

Who let you see my file?

Mr. Cheung gave these to me

Who let you in?

You are back!

Here are some more.

These are all confidential

How can you?

Don't be so uptight. That's him

Miss Lau!

She is a social columnist

She'll write about our organization

and our work

I show her the files!

Mr. Tsui!

Call me Tina!

Tomorrow you'll start your annual spring visit

Let Miss Lau along!

Why?

She wants to get a closer look

Show her your client

Don't you know

I look after mental patients?

How can I bring along a woman?

You know they hate strangers

You are out of your mind!

Hey!

Why do you talk like this before visitors?

She's influential

What is it to do with me?

Cut it out, will you?

Her editor calls our boss

Our boss has granted permission

Tell boss to take care of her

What is it?

He asks me to show my client to a woman

Is he out of his mind?

You know they cut a budget

...by 1 5%!

Now new instruction...

...indicates further cut back!

Then?

Boss and committee members...

...are begging everywhere

You know we voluntary organization...

few money come from non-government donors

If she'll write up for us...

...meaning free publicity

Go find someone else

Him!

She names you

Do it for the organization!

That lady won't have the stamina

One week is her limit

Settled?

Miss Lau, I leave Tsui with you

How to start your work?

Thanks!

I'm outside

I've gone through your files

Let's talk business

From the files,

I find some file cases fascinating

For example the case of...

"The barbarian"!

I saw him at Tsiushatsui!

I never thought he's your client

The readers will like it

That's what we are going to do

You show all your cases to me

Initially I won't introduce your organization

First, I lead the readers on with these characters

I believe you know their background well

I want to visit their families

Ask them why they are not taken care off

Listen

I look after mental patients

They are emotionally unsteady

It takes me a long time to befriend them

Some are dangerous

I dare not get close to them either

If you insist,

you have to follow the rules

First, they don't like fancy colors

So you have to quit fancy colors

Not even pink

Second, I know them personally

Whoever I can't show you,

I can't show you

Third, although I show you

Don't do the talking

They over-react to minor things

If you say something they don't like,

they may attack you

More, they put on a face
