　　WAYMOND
　　Evelyn……
　　EVELYN
　　Next time I give you rest with interest. You will need it. Actors are very poor
　　JOY
　　MOM!
　　Evelyn is startled by her volume. She finally turns：
　　We see the white wispy hair on the back of an old man’s head.
　　He is hunched over his cane wearing a white undershirt and slippers. This is GONG GONG. He stands by the stairwell with unfocused， wet eyes.
　　EVELYN
　　爸!你落嚟做咩啊？
　　（In Cantonese）
　　EVELYN
　　Baba! How did you get down here？
　　GONG GONG
　　我既早餐呢？
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　Where is breakfast？
　　Evelyn looks at Waymond who obediently runs up stairs. Gong Gong watches Waymond go with a clear look of contempt.
　　EVELYN
　　爸， 你認唔認得阿Joy？
　　（In Cantonese）
　　EVELYN
　　Baba， you remember Joy.
　　Joy awkwardly approaches. Becky stands behind her， excited.
　　JOY
　　公公， 好.你.⾶機……好不好？
　　JOY
　　Gong Gong， hello. How was your trip？
　　GONG GONG
　　哇， 乜佢D唐話越來越差啊.
　　（In Cantonese
　　GONG GONG
　　Wah， her Chinese is getting
　　worse every time we talk.
　　Evelyn eyes Becky who is slowly approaching Gong Gong. Joy watches Evelyn watch Becky. Joy tests the water.
　　JOY
　　公公… 這是 Becky. Becky 她是我的 How do you say it again…… shit， I mean， crap.
　　她是我的
　　JOY
　　Gong Gong…… this is Becky.
　　Becky is my…… How do you say it again…… shit， I mean， crap. She is my……
　　Gong Gong begins to stare at Becky. Evelyn interrupts.
　　EVELYN
　　好朋友!Becky係佢好朋友.
　　（In Cantonese）
　　EVELYN
　　Good friend. Becky is a very good friend.
　　JOY
　　Mom!
　　EVELYN
　　What？
　　Joy glares at Evelyn， about to unload everything she wants to say. But she hesitates. Becky smiles， unaware.
　　EVELYN （CONT’D）
　　AH! Big nose!
　　Evelyn spots Debbie the Dog Mom leaving. She grabs the laundry and rushes out the door.
　　Joy grabs Becky and heads for the exit.
　　BECKY
　　Um， okay， it was nice to meet you.
　　Waymond comes back with noodles to see Gong Gong standing alone in the room. Gong Gong spits on the ground.
　　
　　9 EXT. LAUNDROMAT - THAT MOMENT
　　
　　Debbie the Dog Mom loads her dog into the car and shuts the door， as Evelyn arrives and hands her the laundry.
　　DEBBIE THE DOG MOM
　　Took you long enough.
　　
　　She takes the coat and looks it over. Evelyn watches Joy and Becky head to their car.
　　EVELYN
　　Give us 5 stars？ Please!
　　DEBBIE THE DOG MOM
　　Are you serious？
　　EVELYN
　　（still watching Joy）
　　Also. We have a Chinese New Year party tonight. Open to all of my customers in the community. Please
　　come and enjoy nice music and food.
　　Let me get an invite- One moment， Joy wait!
　　She leaves the customer dumbfounded.
　　Joy has one foot in the car. Evelyn falters.
　　JOY
　　What？
　　EVELYN
　　I just want to say…… Try to eat healthier. You’re getting fat.
　　Becky looks from Joy to Evelyn. No response. Joy shakes her head and shuts the door.
　　Evelyn turns and walks back into the laundromat.
　　
　　10 INT. APARTMENT - STAIRCASE - LATER
　　
　　Evelyn patiently stands with her father as he takes one small step at a time up the stairs. For the first time， we get a sense of how exhausted she is.
　　
　　11 INT. APARTMENT - DINING ROOM/LIVING ROOM - LATER
　　
　　Back at her table， Evelyn tries to finish her taxes while Gong Gong loudly slurps on noodles beside her.
　　Her eyes are drawn up to the wall in front of her. Family portraits， report cards， and children’s drawings. She sees an old childhood photo of Joy smiling back at her.
　　She is surrounded by the chaos of her apartment. Frozen， holding a receipt.
　　WAYMOND
　　妳幹嘛？沒事吧
　　WAYMOND
　　What are you doing？ What is wrong？
　　We hear a DEEP RUMBLING sound. It’s in her head， in her soul.
　　TITLE: "PART 1: EVERYTHING"
　　
　　12 INT. LAUNDRY RV
　　
　　Evelyn drives their laundry delivery van， a converted RV filled with racks of clothing and bags of laundry. Waymond is carrying a Tupperware of cookies， looking out the window.
　　Gong Gong sits in the back muttering in his sleep.
　　GONG GONG
　　⾛啊…快D⾛啊…⽇本仔打到來啦…
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　We have to go…… We have to go. The Japanese are here……
　　Evelyn turns on the radio.
　　
　　13 INT. IRS BUILDING LOBBY - LATER
　　
　　Evelyn and Waymond walk in together pushing a half asleep Gong Gong in his wheelchair through security.
　　GONG GONG
　　我哋係邊度啊？
