There is a Hokkien phrase, "Gar gee nang".
It means, our own kind of people.
And you're not our own kind.
Because I'm not rich?
'Cause I didn't go to a British boarding school,
or I wasn't born into a wealthy family?
You're a foreigner. American.
And all Americans think about is their own happiness.
Don't you want Nick to be happy?
It's an illusion.
We understand how to build things that last.
Something you know nothing about.
You don't know me.
I know you're not what Nick needs.
Well, he proposed to me yesterday.
He said he'd walk away from his family
and from you for good.
Don't worry, I turned him down.
Only a fool folds a winning hand.
There's no winning.
You made sure of that.
Because if Nick chose me, he would lose his family.
And if he chose his family,
he might spend the rest of his life resenting you.
So you chose for him.
I'm not leaving 'cause I'm scared.
Or because I think I'm not enough.
Because maybe for the first time in my life...
I know I am.
I just love Nick so much.
I don't want him to lose his mom again.
So, I just wanted you to know that one day,
when he marries another lucky girl
who is enough for you...
and you're playing with your grandkids
while the tan huas are blooming
and the birds are chirping...
that it was because of me...
a poor, raised-by-a-single-mother, low-class,
immigrant
nobody.
