:45:09
I like Mei Li, but I don't
like the idea of this marriage.
:45:13
If they were to marry, they'll be
sorry. You know all the reasons.
:45:18
I know reasons.
I'm against it too.
:45:22
I can't stop it,
but maybe you can.
:45:39
Captain Hoxworth,
doesn't like the marriage either.
:45:43
But it was Noel
who did the proposing.
:45:45
No Hoxworth has broken
his word to us yet.
:45:49
He isn't even asking
for a dowry.
:45:51
Marry Wong boy,
marry whole family...
:45:54
Marry Hoxworth,
marry one sailor.
:45:57
At least he speaks our language.
:45:59
He speaks Hakka?
:46:01
Only Punti.
:46:03
If this plague gets worse,
what'll happen to our business?
:46:06
The city lots the Wongs want
are worth money...
:46:09
and we may need it.
:46:11
Now, you hear me...
:46:16
Captain Hoxworth is my friend,
so his son is my friend...
:46:20
but they're white.
They don't think like Chinese.
:46:23
They don't have 5 sons, 1 daughter,
14 grandsons, 10 granddaughters.
:46:30
They don't think about when they'd
be married to families...
:46:34
that are the same one family
and they spread and spread forever.
:46:42
That's what Mun Ki and I
talked about on Molokai.
:46:47
That's what makes Mun Ki
live forever.
:46:52
Hawaiian families understand,
but white families don't.
:46:59
Wongs want ten lots,
we pay ten lots.
