Saw the collectible DVD of "Congo" at Kenyalang the other day.
A funny memory popped up immediately.
You need to know a bit of Hakka to be able to catch the joke though ^^
My youngest brother was watching TV in the living room on a Sunday night in Perth. The following dialogues were in Hakka. I translated to English to help with understanding ;p
Me: Wui, what are you watching?
Bro: Congo
Me: Con-go? [Con-go means 'watched already' in Hakka]
Me: If you have watched it previously, Go to bed lah!
Bro: Congo!
Me: I know! If you have seen it, don't waste time. Go to sleep lah!
Bro: CONGO!!
*By now, I was already very frustrated at my brother for being so stubborn*
Me: I said.......,*raised my voice' IF YOU HAVE SEEN IT. GO TO SLEEP!!!!
Bro: *sigh* The movie is called CONGO!
Me: ..... (@_@"') *Opppps... Quickly walked away*
