When Duan-fei tries to laugh at her, she tells him that she is trying to kill her husband by listening to her mother. She says that her father has taught her some tricks about getting along with her wife alone. He tells her that the only thing to make a wife obedient to her husband is to "tune her up frequently" . He says that this is what his father taught him, and that he would like to learn it from him. Duanfei says that his father is not a good talker, but that he must have kept it from her because otherwise, he would have embarrassed her if she saw him like this . When they get carried away, they find that it is impossible to get a taxi back to the house.
