Father, Chor Fan (Sunny Chan) has feelings of a man in the 60s, Son, Chor Ci (Ron Ng) finds that he is too slow as compared to others who are living in the 21st Century.

父子分歧 常生龃龉
  楚帆和楚慈两父子,可谓是一对活冤家。父亲帆古道热肠、怀缅六十年代的浓厚人情;儿子慈则口甜舌滑,追求名利,热爱新潮,但对人却漠不关心。两父子完全南辕北辙,因此常生龃龉。
  慈替烟草商当代言人,凭俐牙利齿,甚得老细赏识。帆却不喜,认为不应为高薪厚职就宣扬吸烟。慈亦不满意帆死守着生意一般的老旧云吞面档,纵容老伙记成拾义偷懒,又让老友牛正荣免费打趸。为免争吵,慈更一早搬出,父子关系甚是冷淡。
  及后帆得了老人痴呆,慈不得不搬回来照顾老父,但二人磨擦不断。帆知道慈得到城中巨富程坤棉赏识,邀请跳槽,竟蓄意搞破坏,令慈气结不已。慈正没帆奈何,此时见到老父日渐丧失生活能力,有心将云吞铺结业,让帆入住老人院。帆却发现慈计划,不禁心伤。
