- I did warn you when you bought it.
- I know.

:27:07
Some people don't like their friends
to say "I told you so,"

:27:09
but it's a quality in you
I've always admired.

:27:14
So, when did you start
picking up men on the streets?

:27:17
I didn't pick him up.
:27:20
Let's face it. When it comes to men,
your judgement's suspect.

:27:24
It must be.
I went out with you, didn't I?

:27:30
You don't know anything
about him.

:27:33
I know as much as you're likely
to find out after three weeks.

:27:36
Anyway, I like a man
with a bit of mystery about him.

:27:44
Thank you.
:27:56
Something about me?
:27:58

:28:07

18th century.
:28:11
It's a tradition to give them
to babies when they're born.

:28:16
They're silver.
:28:18
In China, they're usually
given to the first grandchild,
which happened to be me.

:28:23
It means that the baby
will always be fed,

:28:26
always be safe.
:28:31
My grandfather bought them
in Shanghai from some old swindler...

:28:34
who claimed they changed color if they
touched food that was poisoned.

:28:40
I think of them
as my lucky charm.

:28:44
You're full of strange little stories
and sayings, aren't you?

:28:49
I get that from my mother.
:28:56
Even the slightest failure
to behave like a young lady,

:28:58
and I'd get some story
about what happened to little giris...
