PEIK LIN: These people aren't just rich, they're crazy rich.
Look, there's new money all over Asia.
We got the Beijing billionaires, the Taiwan tycoons,
but the Young family, they're old-money rich.
They had money when they left China in the 1800s
and they went all the way down here.
Not there. Here.
They came to Singapore when there was
nothing but jungle and pig farmers.
There's a snake here eating an apple. You know what I mean?
And they built all of this.
Now they're the landlords
of the most expensive city anywhere you can go.
These people are so posh and snobby, they're snoshy. Ew.
RACHEL CHU: Yeah, but Nick's not like that.
PEIK LIN: Even if he isn't, I guarantee you the family is.
Which is why tonight, you need to not
look like Sebastian of the Little Mermaid.
You know the little crab guy?
[MUSIC] Look at this guy, he's sleeping.
Come on. This isn't your grandma's, bro. God damnit.
RACHEL CHU: Thank you for joining me.
PEIK LIN: It's my one chance to see the Young family Mansion. [MUSIC]
GPS: At the next intersection, make a U-turn.
Make a U-turn.
PEIK LIN: Are you sure you gave me the right address?
The GPS says there's nothing here. Literally nothing.
RACHEL CHU: I don't know why we're here.
I mean, I put in the exact address.
PEIK LIN: You copied and you pasted it?
RACHEL CHU: Yeah.
PEIK LIN: Did you just copy and paste jungle
and kinda just threw it in there?
RACHEL CHU: No.
PEIK LIN: Because I feel like you actually used. Okay. All right.
What's up. Hi. Someone just... Hello, sir.
How are you? We're here for the party
and we come in peace.
RACHEL CHU: Do you know where the Young family house is?
Nicholas Young. I'm Rachel Chu. I'm here to...
PEIK LIN: Rachel Chu for the list, if there is a list.
He's on the phone. Is that a gun knife?
It's a knife gun. Okay, and there's a friend.
Hi. Be very nice. We can go through? We're going through. Okay.
Don't stab the car.
RACHEL CHU: Thank you. Bye. [SOFT MUSIC]
Oh my gosh. It's beautiful.
PEIK LIN: Beautiful. It's 200 mill worth of real estate.
It's spectacular.
[MUSIC] Damn, Rachel.
It's like the Asian bachelor.
NICK: Hello, Gorgeous.
Wow, I think I've just fallen in love
with you all over again.
PEIK LIN: Ahem. Rachel.
NICK: I missed you too.
RACHEL CHU: Yeah?
NICK: What'd you get up to?
PEIK LIN: Pst. Rachel.
RACHEL CHU: Oh. This is my friend Peik Lin.
NICK: Hi there.
PEIK LIN: Howdy?
NICK: Thank you very much for bringing Rachel.
PEIK LIN: No worries.
NICK: Do you want to stop by for some dinner?
PEIK LIN: No, I couldn't impose.
NICK: No, it's not a problem.
PEIK LIN: I had some dinner plans...[OVERLAPPING] Yeah, I'm coming through.
RACHEL CHU: I missed you.
NICK: Did you?
RACHEL CHU: Yeah.
NICK: How was your day?
PEIK LIN: No.
RACHEL CHU: You have a cocktail dress in your trunk?
PEIK LIN: I'm not an animal, Rachel. [LAUGHTER]
RACHEL CHU: I thought this was just a family thing.
NICK: My grandmother has invited
some of her friends over tonight. [INAUDIBLE]
It's a whole thing. Are you ready for this? [BACKGROUND NOISE]
PEIK LIN: Oh, damn, Nick. It's a party, though. Okay. [MUSIC]
NICK: The good bathrooms are upstairs
and you can get changed in there.
PEIK LIN: I'll be good. I'll find it. Thank you.
RACHEL CHU: When you said you grew up in your grandma's house,
I wasn't expecting this. Thank you.
NICK: No, no, no. Those are for your fingers.
Thank you very much.
A little bit much, I know.
RACHEL CHU: This place is gorgeous. I like the rolling green hills.
I mean, there are armed guards out there and a giant tiger.
NICK: That is Mr. Harriman.
Well, my great-grandfather actually shot him
when he ran into the house.
Astrid and I, we used to light cigarettes in his paws.
RACHEL CHU: Do you want to head in?
NICK: Actually, I wanted to bring you over to my mum first.
Come on.
[MUSIC]
[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
NICK: Mom.
NICK'S MOM: You need a haircut, so unkempt.
And you look tired from your trip.
I'm going to ask the cook to make you some herbal soup.
[FOREIGN] I'll send it to the hotel later.
NICK: Mom, this is Rachel Chu.
RACHEL CHU: Oh, my gosh. I'm so happy to meet you, Mrs. Young,
or [FOREIGN], right?
I'm learning the lingo.
NICK'S MOM: I'm very glad to finally meet you, too.
I'm sorry Nick's father couldn't be here.
He was called to business in Shanghai.
NICK: I told Rachel when duty calls, Dad answers.
NICK'S MOM: As it should be.
Nick tells me you're a professor, too. What do you teach?
RACHEL CHU: I teach economics.
NICK: And she's brilliant. NYU's youngest faculty member.
NICK'S MOM: [FOREIGN] Economics, sounds challenging.
Are your parents academics as well?
RACHEL CHU: No. Well, my dad actually died before I was born
and my mom didn't even go to college.
She actually hardly spoke any English
when she immigrated to the United States.
But she worked really hard and she studied
and she earned her real estate license
while she was waiting tables to support us.
Now she likes to say that she's Flushing's
top real estate broker.
NICK'S MOM: Self-made woman.
She must be so proud of you.
RACHEL CHU: Well, she knows that I'm passionate about what I do
and she's always wanted that for me.
NICK'S MOM: Pursuing one's passion. How American.
Well, your mother's very open-minded,
not like here, where parents are obsessed
with shaping the life of the children.
Go ahead. I'll be out in a minute.
Rachel, it was lovely meeting you.
RACHEL CHU: Thank you, you too.
Okay, she hates me.
NICK: She takes a little minute
to warm up and get there.
