"Roast pork dumpling!" "Waiter, black tea please" "Fatso, they want some hot water over there" "Ping, that table has paid already" "You attend to them" "Roast pork dumpling!" "Prime beef balls" "Shrimp balls" "Pork shrimp balls" "Beef balls" "Hey fatty, hurry up, we've waiting so long" "Alright, coming" "Calm down, it won't be much longer now" "You ordered beef with rice noodles?" "Blackie didn't show up for work today" "Really?" "Tell him to see me" "Come in" "Boss Cheng, you want to see me?" "Blackie, what day is today?" "The opening day of the Cheng Chi Teahouse" "And what section do you belong to?" "The hors d'oeuvre section" "But you weren't there today" "I..." "Don't try to explain." "I was told..." "You're always in the company of thugs" "It's not true" "You deny it?" "Blackie, I never wronged anyone" "As a matter of fact, everyone here... is like a member of my family" "Think how hard we worked to achieve this" "I hope you'll always remember... why we wanted to come to this place" "Think it over carefully" "We came because life is better here" "Only a fool likes hard work" "You're a real jerk" "He's fooling you" "He's only using you" "He's the boss and you're the employee" "You only get a few hundred bucks a month" "It's not enough to enjoy life" "It's not enough to enjoy life" "I know but I've always depended on him" "Heck!" "Why do you have to depend on him?" "Forget him" "Let's go to the sampan motels tonight" "I'll get a broad to give you a massage" "It's real groovy" "But I've no money" "All we have to do is pull a job" "What?" "Again?" "You'll get used to it" "Last time at Bayside Villa..." "In just 2 minutes, guess how much I got?" "Almost $2,000" "What're you afraid of?" "Jail?" "You fool, we're still minors" "We'd only get 1 or 2 yrs in reform school" "There's nothing to worry about" "Foki, how much?" "So many people here." "Let's forget it" "Follow me" "Where could it be?" "C'mon follow me" "Stop" "Don't move" "Don't tell the police." "D'you hear?" "Let's go" "Robbers!" "Robbers!" "Robbers!" "Robbers!" "Help!" "Kid, come with me" "I've read the report on your background" "It's your first offence" "And you're under 16" "I'll let you go on a $500 bond" "And put you on probation for one year;" "Dismiss!" "Blackie." "Do you know what you've done?" "I know." "I shouldn't rob" "We live here." "We must observe the law here" "And you broke the law" "You should receive punishment" "But the judge gave me an year's probation" "After one year, you'll do it again" "We can't let you stay in this teahouse" "Go away" "Boss Cheng, Where can I go?" "I have no relatives here" "Neither have we" "But we did nothing like you" "Boss Cheng, I was wrong." "Please forgive me" "Boss Cheng, he's been sentenced..." "Ching, there's something you should know" "There's an understanding in this teahouse" "We don't go against law or conscience" "Blackie has been punished by the law..." "But what he did is against our principles..." "So I can't forgive him." "You'd better go" "Boss Cheng, please give me a chance" "Boss Cheng, Blackie is sorry now" "I hope you'll give him a chance" "I hope you'll give him a chance" "Han" "What's the sentence for assault and robbery?" "For a first-timer, it's 1 year in jail" "Blackie" "Boss Cheng" "Did you hear that?" "If you want to stay here... you must do some penance" "Boss Cheng..." "Blackie, what do you want?" "Boss Cheng has forgiven you already" "Even the judge didn't send me to jail" "Even the judge didn't send me to jail" "It's up to you." "Think it over" "Blackie, did you hear that?" "If you want to stay you must do penance" "I've read the report on your background" "It's your first offence and you're under 16" "I'll let you go..." "On a $500 bond  probation for 1 year" "You'll get used to it" "Last time at Bayside Villa..." "In just 2 minutes, guess how much I got?" " How much?" "Almost $2,000" "Robber!" "Robber!" "Don't move or I'll kill you" "Friend, who are you?" "Listen!" "When the police come you tell them..." "I'm an armed robber." "Understand?" "What?" "Alright, please don't" "Please don't" "You can take what you want" "And a gold watch." "It's all yours." "Take it" "Don't call the police" "And some cigars" "Now you have everything." "Go away" "Please don't tell the police" "You've taken it all, why not leave yet" "Miss, you call the police for me" "Call the police, please" "Come back" "Go on" "No, come back" "Let me go" "Please don't" "Call the police, please" "Please don't" "Hurry up" "Friend, please don't" "Call the police, please" "Please don't" "Friend, please don't" "I'm expecting a medal of honor soon" "This will blow the whole thing up" "Please don't" "There's the money right here, you lay down" "Here's $500." "Take it" "Call the police, please" "You have, and you've it too" "Hurry up..." "Call the police, quick." "I won't go" "Call the police, quick." "My car is parked in the next street" "My chauffeur is there." "Ask him to take him... wherever he wants to go" "Hurry up" "You kid, come with us" "That was a narrow escape" "I almost lost my medal" "Good" "Where shall I drop you?" "Anywhere" "That kid is really something" "He looks like... he's loaded" "He must have pulled a big job" "That car cost at least 12 grand" "You think he saved up for it?" "You fool!" "It's a stick-up." "One move and you're dead" "3.1.5." "But my salary is only $1,000 a month" "Go on!" "Robber!" "Go in quickly" "Go in quickly" "Is it a real hold up?" "That thief won't put up a fight." "Go in" "Why don't you go in?" "Hurry up." "Are you the robber?" "Answer me quickly" "No, I'm the cashier" "Who are you?" "Tell me quickly" "You're stupid." "I'm the robber" "You're the robber?" "Don't move" "What?" "You again?" "You're really a hopeless case" "You're right." "I'm hopeless" "I did it so I could go to jail" "What?" "You're too young to have such a record" "I think your family... or this wicked society... must be responsible in some way" "You must be nuts." "I don't have a family" "And this society had nothing to do with it" "So nobody else is responsible" "No..." "You don't understand" "You certainly have a problem" "You didn't do it because you wanted to" "Understand?" "It's not your fault." "It is society's" "It's not society's fault, it's my fault" "I did the robbing" "Send me to jail right away, okay?" "The law is justice" "Especially with youths like you" "I'll give you a chance to reform" "Ridiculous." "I was so kind to you" "No cursing in the court" "Alright." "Juvenile delinquents like you... have no respect for the law" "I must punish you" "You are convicted of armed robbery 10 months in jail!" "Court dismiss!" "10 months?" "Go to hell." "You crazy judge" "You only gave me 10 months" "Do you really know anything about law?" "I'd make a better judge myself" "How dare you!" "Don't stop me." "I'm going to kill him" "You cursed me!" "And you assaulted me" "You have no respect for the law" "Alright." "I'll give you 2 months more" "That's more like it, your honor" "You're ungrateful" "Sent it to No. 11" "Two more" "Thank you" "Mr. Chou, why are you so late today?" "I played mahjong till late last night" "So I'm late" "Tien, find a table for Mr. Chou" "Coming" "Mr. Chou, please sit down" "So what, you're blind?" " Easy does it" "Beef balls anyone" "Over here" "Come on" "Damn it, what the!" "Why are you running like a wild cat?" "Chu, you can't get away" "Come back with me now" "Right." "We'll give you board and lodgings" "It's degrading to work as a waitress here" "I'm not going with you." "Go away quickly" "I don't know either of you" "What did you say?" "Come with us quickly" "How dare you!" "You bitch!" "Friends, what're you doing here?" "Fatso, mind your own business" "What is it?" "Fatso, if you're smart, don't interfere" "Or we'll teach you a lesson" "Don't you know she's one of our waitresses?" "A waitress so what the hell!" "And don't you know who she is?" "Who is she?" "She's my chick" "Mine too" "Mr. Tsui, Mr. Cheng, I don't know them" "Did you hear that?" "She doesn't know you" "We're taking her now anyway" "I dare you!" "I'll report you to the police" "It's useless." "We're still minors" "The law protects us." "Let's go" "Alright." "We're outnumbered" "You just wait and see" "You just wait and see" "How dare you thugs show up again!" "What's the matter?" "Two thugs tried to bully Chu causing a commotion and giving a damn!" "Mr. Chou, your crag-martin is very pretty" "Thank you" "Sir, what kind of tea do you want?" "Black tea." "Wait a minute" "What is it?" "I want to see your manager" "Mr. Han, that man wants to see the manager" "Sir, you..." "I don't want you" "I want to see your manager" "That one" "I'm the manager here, Rich Chu" "You are Rich Chu?" "What can I do for you?" "Do you know who I am?" "I don't" "Prince Chi, 2nd boss in this area" "Two of my men came here yesterday" "You didn't give them face" "We are straight businessmen" "We treat all our customers the same" "We treat all our customers the same" "I know this teahouse isn't the usual kind" "You harbor a girl called Chu here" "Chu?" "She works here" "But she's my boy's chick" "She stole his money and came here" "Is that true?" "Right." "Give me face and hand her back" "Is that all you want to say?" "Yes" "You should have more to say" "You should say if I say no... you're going to tear this place down" "Or use a razor on Chu" "Or use a razor on Chu" "Or cut me into pieces" "I won't." "I'm a man with a conscience" "Conscience?" "If you had that... you wouldn't bully a teenage girl" "You are thugs." "Get out of here!" "So you won't give face to our outfit" "I don't know anything about any outfit" "We just do honest business here and we don't do whoring around" "You're tough." "But wait and see" "Hold it" "You want to make a deal with me now?" "No." "You haven't paid yet" "Double charges for tea only" "Those thugs drugged me..." "And took me to a hotel" "After raping me..." "They tried to force me into prostitution" "So you ran away from them" "Boss Cheng" "I don't think those thugs will give up" "Chu, how many more are in your family?" "My father and my kid brother, Kang" "Mr. Han, pay her an extra month's salary" "You don't have to work tomorrow" "Stay at home and see what happens" "Boss Cheng, but they'll come for me again" "Don't worry" "You are one of my employees..." "And I'll protect you" "Hurry up" "Let's go" "Boss said you can't go" "You clean up the place and take them home" "You clean up the place and take them home" "Let's go" "Goodbye" "Chu, don't be afraid, we'll stay with you" "Let's go" "Pay no attention to him" "Pay no attention to him" "Hold it" "Miss... run for your life, someone's dead!" "Hold it or I'll shoot" "Don't run" "Mr. Hsien, don't be so sad" "Chu is dead..." "But the law won't let the thugs go" "Right?" "You said the law won't let the thugs go" "I've read the Welfare Department's report... on the background of the defendants" "A $500 bond and probation for one year" "Rich Chu" "You act like a good judge" "If I were the judge..." "I'd sentence the thugs to death" "You would, but you're not the judge" "That means my daughter died for nothing" "No" "It's useless to sentence them to death" "Even if they weren't minors..." "Some VIPs would plead for them anyway" "And they are under 16" "They'll never be sentenced to death" "Ah Kun." "Don't be afraid." "No sweat" "Stand still" "Which of you is Li Kun?" "Me" "How old are you?" "Up to this very minute..." "I'm 14 years 3 months and 2 and half hours" "Ah..." "How about you?" "His honor is speaking to you." "Answer" "My name is Chang Siung." "I'm 15 years old" "I've talked with the welfare officer" "I've studied your background reports..." "And the reports of the witnesses" "The charge of manslaughter... is dropped." "Court dismiss" "Court dismiss" "Ah Kun, I said you'd be all right." "Right?" "Right." "That judge is very kind" "It takes 18 years in jail to make a hero" "But we only did 18 days" "But we only did 18 days" "This chick is pretty" "I'll treat you to dinner and a movie," "OK?" "Ah Kun, come back" "She knows you're as poor as a church mouse" "You'd better find yourself some money" "Help!" "Murder!" "Officer, someone's been murdered" "Who killed them?" "I killed both of them" "My daughter is dead." "My son is a murderer" "Misfortune never comes singly" "Don't be so sad" "Your son is under 16." "He won't die" "True, he's done it for his sister" "I think the law will pardon him" "The law in this place is really funny" "You don't get punished if you're guilty" "But you get in trouble for doing nothing" "You're right" "You can get one month for spitting..." "But only probation for killing" "I wonder if a computer could work it out" "Right." "The law here is loopholed" "Sometimes it can't protect good men" "And the evildoers get the protection" "Who is going to protect us?" "Under these circumstances..." "Mr. Hsien, don't worry about Kang" "I know how to deal with it" "Is there a Mr. Hsien Li-jen here?" "It's me." "What's the matter?" "I'm from the Welfare Department" "Are you the father of Chu and Kang?" "Mister, please don't mention their names" "They are the misfortune of my family" "They put me in this situation" "How can I live?" "How can I live?" "Mr. Hsien, don't be so disheartened" "Your son is only 15." "We want to know..." "Why he killed two men?" "Careful" "My son is a good boy" "He wouldn't even kill an ant" "But he was caught red-handed" "Even if he did do it..." "Oh, my son is really innocent" "He only avenged his sister" "He did it for his sister that he wanted to take revenge" "It was not his fault." "It's the family's" "And it's also the Welfare Department's..." "No." "Not the Welfare Department." "You mean society" "Right..." "That was what I wanted to say" "You're right" "This old woman is..." "Her?" "She's my mother" "She's 80 years old and senile" "She loved her grandchildren very much" "Don't let her know what has happened" "If she knew she'd commit suicide" "She's so old and she still has to work?" "She has to." "We need the money" "Old lady..." "She doesn't understand your dialect" "Ma, he's talking to you" "You want to take me to dinner?" "No, I don't" "I just want to ask you how you are?" "I don't know what he's saying" "He wants to know how we are living" "You know?" "Miserable" "My granddaughter has to work as a waitress" "And my grandson hasn't been home for days" "Do you know where he is?" "She's asking about her grandson" "Don't tell her anything" "Please don't" "Mr. Hsien" "I'm sorry about your situation" "I'll report it to my superiors" "They'll convey it to the judge" "I think your son will be all right" "And the Welfare Department will help you" "Thank you very much" "Sorry to give you so much trouble" "Don't worry" "Chu, I think there will be no problem" "There won't be any problem." "Don't worry" "Here are your glasses" "Here is a hundred dollars" "I put up a real good show" "How about $20 more?" "It wasn't only good, it was great" "Sure." "I was a star when I was young" "Of course that was years ago" "Here's $20" "Thank you..." "Let's go" "Sir, please give me a coin" "Sir, please give me a coin" "I don't have a dime" "Ma'am, please give me ten cents Get off!" "Don't cry" "C'mon stand aside" "You kid, look what you've done!" "You spilled tea on me" "Now look, you've totally drenched me" "And then you cry" "I didn't hit you" "Kids like you are really somethin'!" "You've wet my clothes, yet you cry" "It was you who spilled tea all over me" "What's the matter?" "She spilled tea on me" "Find this gentleman a clean table" "Find this gentleman a clean table" "I'm sorry" "Why are you crying?" "Don't cry" "Boss Cheng, roast pork dumpling" "I know you're hungry." "Eat up" "Right, little boy" "You're so small." "Why do you have to beg?" "I was a newspaper boy" "But some thugs kicked me out of business" "So I became a beggar" "I'm sorry" "I drove away your customer" "It doesn't mater." "Eat up" "Little kid, what's your name?" "She's Wang Lo-hai and I'm Wang, Lo San" "Why d'you have such strange names?" "My mother said it's in memory of our father" "Your father?" "My father fell to his death off a mountain" "Uncle" "Can I have one for my mother?" "Your mother?" "What does she do?" "She's ill." "She can't work" "Fill your own stomach first, Pao" "What is it, Boss Cheng?" "Carve two roast duckling and wrap them up" "I'll wrap them" "Little boy, here's $100" "Take it to your mother" "No..." "My mother will tell me off" "It doesn't matter." "Come on, take it" "Be careful." "Don't let the thugs get it" "Thank you, uncle" "Come quickly" "There's news about Kang on TV" "Come quickly ...the report on the defendant's family" "The court dropped the charge of murder" "The defendant was convicted manslaughter" "He was sentenced to 1 year in reform school" "He's so young." "How could he kill anyone?" "You can't say that" "The law is supposed to punish evildoers" "But if the law fails to do it..." "Then the fist is the best solution" "You can't blame Kang... for doing it" "Maybe you're right" "About Chu's incident..." "You handled it differently this time" "To tell the truth, I did it that way... to fill the loopholes in the law" "And to uphold the justice of the law" "Boss Cheng has different views on the law" "Ma, here it is" "Lo-san, you're here" "Both of you!" "What's the matter this time?" "I came to look for uncle" "The one who gave me $100" "My mother said I stole it" "So I brought her here to see him" "Please sit down" "Thank you for taking care of them" "Don't mention." "By the way, how do you feel now?" "Thank you for your concern" "You have two very good children" "I married when I was very young" "After I had Lo-san and Lo-hai..." "Their father wanted to move to a new place" "Unfortunately, on our way here" "He fell to his death to save us" "And then..." "Don't be so sad" "Let Lo-san work here by day..." "And he can go to school at night" "I'll pay his school fees, okay?" "It's very kind of you" "Don't worry." "Lo-san will be a good boy" "You can visit him whenever you like" "Alright, I'll let Lo-san work for you" "Good." "I don't now your name yet?" "My name is Wu" "My name is Wang Cheng" "Stay here and have dinner with us" "Thanks but..." "Tell the cook to prepare some good food" "They will be here for dinner tonight" "Boss Cheng, this area is being terrorised" "And our business is affected" "What shall we do?" "Is it?" "Yes." "Many customers have been robbed" "We must do something" "Chiu, where are you going so early?" "To Cheng Chi Teahouse for breakfast" "Hand over everything you have" "Lucky you have a red one" "Our rule is we must see red" "I just got paid yesterday." "Please don't" "No." "I was scared to death" "I was scared to death" "Chiu, you are lucky" "What if you didn't have the red banknote?" "Right." "Lucky you had that $100 note" "If not, they'd have stabbed you" "They say red means good luck" "I was stabbed 3 times by them" "But according to police statistics... it's one in 200,000 chance" "Are you kidding?" "That means out of every 200,000 persons... only one is robbed" "So it's just like you won the lottery" "It's a bird" "Please don't break the cage" "Damn you, old man!" "Just a broken watch" "What?" "Only $20?" "Why d'you carry so little money?" "Anymore?" "Hand it over!" "That's all I have" "Friend, I don't have anymore money" "I have no money." "Please let me go" "According to our rule..." "We must stab you if we don't see red" "Do it" "Help!" "Help!" "Sounds like someone yelling for help!" "Yes, it sounds like Mr. Chou" "Let's get the thugs" "They're the ones" "Take them back to the teahouse and fix 'em!" "Good." "Move!" "Four pork rice and 2 duck rice" "Bring them in" "Sure" "What happened?" "There were two thugs" "We must teach them a lesson" "They robbed Mr. Chou and stabbed him" "Chu, they robbed me too" "On your knees" "Beg your pardon!" "It won't happen again" "It was these two lads who had me almost mugged" "You animals!" "You rob and injure people and don't care a damn for the law, eh" "We must teach you a lesson" "That's right, okay now, do not argue" "We'd better hand them to the police" "It's against the law to beat them up" "What?" "Hand them over to the police?" "And let them be back in business?" "We won't make it that easy for them" "Beat them up" "Come off it." "Beat them up" "These thugs need a good lesson" "They're the scum of the earth" "Get two pots of boiling water" "And let's pour it over them like rats" "Beat them up" "Boss Cheng, we've got three thugs" "We're giving them a boiling water shower" "No!" "Please don't" "Wait a minute..." "You dirty thugs!" "You shouldn't trouble our customers" "No!" "And you shouldn't rob and stab people" "No... not us..." "If we let you go now..." "What if you come back and do the same thing?" "No... never again" "The police would be too lenient with you" "Give them to us" "We'll teach them a good lesson" "No... please give us a chance..." "Beat them up" "Help!" "Who called for help?" "We called for help" "You three look very familiar" "Officer, we've been tortured" "Please help us" "What did you do this time?" "Nothing." "Just a little mugging" "Mugging?" "That's funny" "The victim didn't call for help." "But robbers did" "They tortured us with boiling water" "No!" "So the thief-catchers broke the law..." "And you are law-abiding thieves" "Officer, you are right" "We are law-abiding so we called for help" "And they broke the law by torturing us" "If that is so..." "I'll have to take you law-abiding thieves... to the police station" "Officer" "I will sue them for torturing us" "My face is bruised from their blows" "Is that true?" "No, not at all" "Officer" "Do you trust law-abiding citizens... or these robbers?" "It all depends" "What do you think?" "Now we want your protection" "What?" "The police protect thieves?" "Sure!" "Because we obey the law" "And they broke the law" "Alright." "I have to make a phone-call" "You want something?" "I want to call a police car and then escort those three to police station" "Officer, you can use the phone in my office" "Isn't there one here?" "It's quieter in there" "Quieter?" "Right..." "Officer, please don't go away" "If you want protection" "I must phone" "If you go away they will hit us again" "Yes..." "Don't go away" "Will you do that?" "No." "We are good citizens" "Nothing will happen..." "Don't worry" "They are good citizens." "Don't worry" "Pao, bring some black tea" "Close the gate." "Fix them up!" "Let's go" "Why is a policeman's job difficult?" "You don't know" "It's so difficult to arrest thugs" "And the court is too lenient with minors" "Doesn't that make our job difficult?" "Right" "So it's the only way to punish them" "Don't go away." "Wait a minute" "This guy is a tough one" "Take a good look at what this is" "If I catch you robbing again..." "I'll blacken your other eye" "I won't" "Wait a minute..." "Mr. Chou, this guy stabbed you" "Now I'm giving you a knife." "You stab him back" "Stop it" "No, you can't" "Why?" "We only want to teach them" "We can't injure them" "We'll give them a chance to reform" "I think we can hand them to the police now" "No." "Stop!" "Stop!" "I think it's finished out there." "I'm going" "Thank you" "Has the police car arrived yet?" "Not yet" "What's wrong with you?" "They beat us up" "Wait a minute." "I'll write it down" "But you must remember..." "What you say will be used in court" "Go ahead" "Go ahead" "They poured boiling water on us" "Poured boiling water?" "Where?" "Here." "That big fellow did it" "Is that true?" "No" "When you were talking to the boss..." "They tried to run away" "They slipped and knocked over the water" "That pot of boiling water" "Are there any witnesses?" "Yes." "We saw it..." "Is that true?" "No..." "It is" "Then it was an accident." "How about you?" "They... they beat me up." "It was this Fatso" "What did you say?" "I... fell against the corner of the table" "It was also an accident" "Officer" "They forced me to drink urine" "No..." "What did you say?" "Speak clearly." "Repeat what you said" "I fell against the spittoon" "Isn't that another accident?" "Yes." "It was an accident" "The car is here." "Open the gate" "Thank you everyone" "I'm taking you back to the station now" "But don't worry" "I will protect you" "No!" "Lo-san, you work too hard" "Never mind." "I'm alright" "Let me help you" "No." "I can manage" "Lo-san" "That's really good" "Lo-san" "I'm here" "Lo-san, time to go to school" "Thank you, auntie" "Thank you" "This $2 is for food" "Take it and keep it safely" "Thank you, Uncle Cheng" "I have a book for you" "Do you like it?" "Good." "Of course I like it" "Please come in" "Ma" "Boss Cheng" "No work today?" "Business is bad and the factory didn't open" "So I came to see Lo-san" "You're looking so handsome" "They dressed me up" "Thank you, everybody" "Don't mention" "Lo-san is a good boy." "He's smart" "We all like him" "Yes..." "Time's up." "Hurry off to school" "Thank you, uncle" "Goodbye" "Let's go and play" "Please come inside." "Sit down" "Miss Wu, the situation is really bad" "The factory only works a few days a month" "And Lo-san has to come home alone" "I think you'd better move in here" "So that we can take care of you" "So that we can take care of you" "It's very kind of you" "But let me think about it first" "Let's go" "Where are you going?" "Let's find Mr. Chou to play mahjong" "I have no money" "I can loan you some" "Loosen the gags" "Boss, these are the bastards... who beat our men up in the teahouse" "You men from the teahouse are tough" "You never let our 18-k brothers... have a good day" "You scalded them with boiling water" "Now let me ask you..." "Who do you work for?" "Answer me" "Did you hear that?" "You'd better talk fast or we'll kill you" "Speak!" "Cheng?" "Hold it!" "That means his rank is higher than ours" "Boss, is there such a rank as Cheng" "I never heard of it in this area" "But according to the syndicate's history..." "It did exist during the Ching Dynasty" "Then they're our own men" "Right" "Who's your boss?" "Who's your boss?" "Boss Cheng, he's our boss" "Boss Cheng?" "Yes!" "Boss Cheng?" "We're like brothers" "And we never violate others' territory" "But you broke the rules" "Fatso, I'm going to let you go" "Go back and tell your boss..." "Tell him to come here to settle things" "But remember..." "If he doesn't show up by daybreak..." "He will have some bodies to collect" "He wants me to settle things with him?" "Yes." "He said you must be there by daybreak" "He wants to settle things once and for all" "Yes, he wants to settle things once and for all" "Boss Cheng, you must go and deal with them" "I must go and deal with them?" "Fatso, how could you tell them that?" "We are straight businessmen" "We are straight businessmen" "What can I do now?" "Boss Cheng, he threatened to kill us" "They almost strangled me" "So I let the word Cheng slip" "And he said you must go there by daybreak" "If you don't..." "You'll have some bodies to collect" "Boss Cheng, go and help them quickly" "Boss Cheng, go to rescue them quickly" "Quiet..." "I think they'll be alright" "What about Big Nose Tsui?" "They'll do what they said" "You fool!" "Hong Kong is a law-abiding place" "You scared that they'll be tortured, is it?" "We can report to the police" "Report to the police" "They'd die before the police got there!" "Right." "If we report to the police..." "It'll mean more trouble in future" "Then let's fight them ourselves" "Wait a minute" "Don't be so rash" "If we do that we're just like them" "We only want to punish them" "But we must not break the law" "So you shouldn't go" "But we're like brothers" "And we share everything" "Don't worry." "I'll go" "We'll all go with you" "Right." "We'll all go" "No arguments, it's all agreed then" "Boss Cheng, I'll go with you" "You'll go with me?" "Yes." "Don't worry" "I was in that business before" "If Tung is really the boss..." "He will treat us like brothers" "And he'll act according to the rules" "But I don't know anything about the rules" "I'll show you what to do" "If necessary, I'll do it for you" "OK" "But it's still very dangerous" "You three, come with us" "They're up there" "Boss Cheng, help us" "Please sit down" "What do you mean by that?" "We give you face by sharing territory" "Our boss never shares anything" "What?" "Hold it..." "Boss Cheng, we're from the same family" "We must treat each other like brothers" "We belong to the same society" "But your rank is higher than mine" "We'll each have our own domain, okay?" "Boss Cheng is really brave" "I was shaking when they raised their knives" "Boss Cheng, you're fantastic" "You got back here safely..." "Because of Uncle Ching" "Thank Uncle Ching now" "Thank you, Uncle Ching" "Don't thank me." "We're like brothers" "I just did my job, right?" "Boss Tung is an honest man" "He observed the rules strictly" "It's hard to find a man like him nowadays" "You're right" "You're right" "This is a tough place for an honest man" "Boss Cheng, while you were gone..." "Someone came and left a card" "Hsu-Ta-Fu!" "He's quite a big shot around here" "But he has a murky background" "Mr. Hsu, what can I do for you?" "Have a smoke" "I'll stick to my own brand" "I would like to congratulate you" "Congratulate me!" "What for?" "Mr. Wang, we are straightforward men" "That deal you made with the 18K..." "You outwitted them." "Shouldn't I congratulate you on that?" "Oh, so that's what you mean!" "Well, Boss Cheng..." "Since then, everyone in that area... respects the name of Boss Cheng" "He's a quite well-known and youthful too" "And all the thugs near the teahouse... have disappeared from the area" "I really admire you" "And, Boss Cheng..." "I want you to help me on something" "I have some goods... which I want to move out" "Usually, my men do the job" "But their faces have become too familiar" "So I'm asking you to help me" "Mr. Hsu, a man in your position..." "How could you be involved in this?" "Boss Cheng, you think it's strange" "Let me tell you, apart from me..." "Many others are in this business here" "That's how I attained my position" "Well, after you do the job..." "I'll pay you $50,000" "How much are the goods worth?" "About $500,000" "I want the money in advance" "You want it in advance?" "Isn't my name worth $50,000?" "It is." "Your name is... worth much more than that" "Alright." "I'll pay you $30,000 first" "I'll pay the rest when the job is done" "Ah Chun, bring my check book." " Yes" "Boss Cheng, you shouldn't have promised" "Boss Cheng, you'd better think it over" "I know what I'm doing" "Go tell Tsui, Tsan... and Yung that I want to see them" "Stop!" "What's the matter, friend?" "Do these things belong to you?" "Book him" "I have nothing to do with it" "Three men just hired my truck" "I have nothing to do with it" "Not at all." "Let's drink" "Prince Chi" "Killing isn't always done with a weapon" "All I did was a little thinking..." "And Boss Cheng is in a helluva mess" "Now the Cheng Chi men are finished" "Let's drink" "Don't move." "One move and I'll kill you" "Mr. Hsu, you're a cunning fox" "Let's sit down and talk" "Sit down" "Your plan didn't work" "You made away with the dope" "And you tried to frame me" "Isn't that right?" "Boss Cheng, that's not true" "We only met once..." "And you trusted me with that much dope" "It's hard to believe stuff like that" "The police only got the truck driver" "Did you think they'd get me?" "You did it as revenge for your men" "Actually, all your men are rubbish" "And I punished them for the people" "Boss Cheng, you have misunderstood" "Forget it" "Forget it?" "You're the dirt of society" "You use your money and position to do evil" "You think we can simply forget it?" "The law can't get to you" "But I can" "Boss Cheng" "You already got $30,000" "I'll give you another $50,000" "And let us be friends" "Be friends?" "That will require another $100,000" "What?" "$100,000?" "That's too much" "You can easily make it back with the dope" "Cool it" "What if I don't agree?" "Hsu Ta-fu, I don't think you'd dare" "If I reveal that you've got the dope..." "Not only will you not get your medal..." "You'll have to go to jail too" "Alright, I'll give it to you." "Shall I make it payable to you?" "I don't want a cent of your dirty money" "Make it out to the Community Chest" "Mister, you want table." "There's one free in there" "No." "I came to look for someone" "Look for whom?" "Boss Cheng" "Boss Cheng?" "Who are you?" "I'm his fourth uncle" "Fourth uncle?" "!" "Please tell him I'm here" "Fourth uncle?" "!" "I came specially to see you" "What is it, uncle?" "I'm in trouble" "I want you to help me" "I'll do what I can." "Tell me" "It's like this" "You know I have a farm in Shatin" "Yes." "I've stayed there before" "The trouble started with the farm" "A few weeks ago a certain land company... approached me to buy my farm approached me to buy my farm" "I won't sell it" "How dare you refuse!" "We've owned this place for 18 generations" "I won't sell it no matter what you offer" "Right." "You can't sell the place" "If I sell it there will be no trouble" "You won't be in trouble if you sell it?" "One night last week..." "Fire..." "Gasoline?" "What devil started this fire?" "I think that fire... must've been started by the land company" "Sure." "It must have been them" "Why don't you sue them?" "I have no proof and I heard the director... is some big shot" "How the hell would it be possible to sue?" "Chu, give me $5,000" "Yes" "You take this money first" "Boss Cheng" "I can't make up for what you did for me" "Thank you very much" "Chu" "Send a car for auntie and the children" "And find a hotel for them" "Uncle, don't worry" "I'll fix everything for you" "Chu, thank you" "Chu, you see him out" "Yes." "This way" "Boss Cheng, who is this fourth uncle?" "You must remember one year ago... when we were chased by police dogs" "Who are you?" "He rescued me" "Later I had a food stall with Mr. Ching" "We made some money and opened this place" "Boss Cheng, how're you going to help him?" "Find out who the boss of that land Co. is?" "You sure Hsu Ta-fu will compensate him?" "I'm sure" "But you must be sure he's the boss" "I couldn't be wrong." "I've checked" "Here we are" "Are you looking for someone?" "I want Hsu Ta-fu" "May I know who's looking for him?" "Wang Cheng" "Please wait a minute" "We must teach him a good lesson this time" "Tell everyone to get ready." "Ask him to come in" "Yes, sir" "Please come in" "It's been a long time, Mr. Hsu" "Boss Cheng, you're a brave man" "I wonder what you want this time?" "Nothing serious" "There's something I wanted to discuss" "But I know you'll agree" "You're that sure?" "I wouldn't come if I wasn't sure" "Alright, try me" "I have an uncle who owns land in Shatin" "You tried to force him to sell" "He refused and you burned his house down" "You are 100% right." "Such a thing did happen" "What do you want now?" "Nothing much." "Just compensation" "Are you sure I'll pay?" "Do you want me to prove it?" "Do you feel strange, Boss Cheng?" "Apart from me, let me tell you..." "Many others are doing the same" "Mr. Hsu, don't be so childish" "We made many copies of this" "We made many copies of this" "I have dozens at home" "You'd better agree to compensate" "And let me leave safely in 10 mins." "If not, the police will be here" "You really draw a fine line" "Mr. Hsu, you want to continue as a VIP... or you want to go to court?" "You don't have much time to decide" "$100,000 for the house and land" "How about the tapes?" "Send someone back with me" "You win again" "Wait a minute" "What's the matter this time?" "The cost of living is soaring and the poor..." "Alright..." "Community Chest, right?" "You're smart" "How much?" "Same as usual" "What?" "$100,000 again?" "Come on." "Write it" "This is more like a VIP" "And that's the right way to win your medal" "Lo-san, these two roast duck legs... are for your mother and Lo-hai" "Thank you." "Bye bye" "Take care" "What do you want?" "So you've been hiding in the teahouse" "No." "Give it back to me" "It's for my mother" "What?" "For your mother?" "If your mother were that good... she wouldn't let you beg." "You fool!" "You go to school." "Who pays for it?" "Speak?" "The boss of the Cheng Chi Teahouse" "If you bully me, I'll tell him" "What?" "You want to scare us?" "Bastard!" "That doesn't scare us" "How can you bully a kid?" "It's none of your business." "Push off!" "I'll call the police" "We're not afraid of the police" "You go to hell" "Remember kid..." "Bring the money tomorrow or else;" "I'll kill you;" "Go!" "Ma!" "Lo-san, what happened?" "It was all my fault" "Miss Wu, don't worry" "The doctor said he'll be alright soon" "Go back to work." "Just let him rest" "Miss Wu, let's talk over there" "Miss Wu, I know your difficulty" "You feel embarrassed to move in here ...is it not?" "I want you to know that I respect you" "And I like Lo-san and Lo-hai very much" "If you think I'm good enough..." "I'd like to treat them like my own" "And you move in here too, okay?" "I'm a straight forward man" "If you don't like it" "I won't force you" "But I'll still look after you" "Ma, please move in with us" "Ma" "Say yes, okay?" "Cheng, thank you for having us" "Prince Chi" "You'd better not interfere" "It's none of your business." "Keep out of it" "What's going on?" "Hold it" "Boss Cheng, it's nothing to do with you" "Right." "Be smart and step aside" "Weapons have no eyes" "Right." "It has nothing to do with me" "But you're fighting in MY teahouse" "I'm getting married in 2 days time" "Please give me face" "If you want to fight please go outside" "Let me treat you for tea" "Boss Cheng, what if I say no?" "Prince Chi, don't push us too far" "I have many brothers here too" "And they will fight for their lives" "Right..." "Come on..." "Hold it" "Boss Cheng, I'll give you face this time" "Brothers, let's go" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Boss Cheng, he gave you face" "But I don't have to" "Man, you sure are quick;" "Sooner or later I'll get you" "Let's go..." "Boss Cheng, I think there'll be trouble" "Eat more..." "Help yourselves" "Thank you!" "Sir, please sign the guest list" "Go away" "Cheng, you should welcome them yourself." "Go on..." "Make yourselves at home" "Help yourselves..." "Excuse me" "Welcome..." "Why didn't you reserve a table for us?" "Come on." "It's an honor to have you here" "Han, fix a table specially for them" "Yes, sir" "Please come and have some tea first" "Boss Cheng, it's time for the toasts" "When Cheng comes over, kill him first" "And then we'll get Tung and the others" "Boss Cheng, look" "But I'm in the middle of the toasts" "You'd better welcome them first" "Sleuths!" "Step aside" "What is it, inspector?" "This is quite a scene" "Come and join us if you like" "Thank you." "You deserve the name Boss" "It seems the whole syndicate is here" "Inspector, what do you mean?" "Easy now" "The sleuths What are they talking about?" "Who knows?" "Boss Cheng, don't speak to me like that" "I gave you enough face before" "I gave you enough face before" "Inspector, what do you mean?" "Don't worry" "I won't arrest you on a day like today" "Inspector, you really have me confused" "Alright, let me tell you straight" "Listen" "I want a list of all your guests" "It looks like he's going to betray us" "Oh shit!" "Inspector," "I don't know all of them" "Come on." "I'm not a kid" "Don't tell me you don't know your guests" "C'mon, don't lie to me" "But it's true" "I don't care." "I want the list" "I can't give it to you" "You should co-operate with the police" "Inspector, I'm sorry" "I really can't give it to you" "You talk like you're the big boss" "Inspector, you're wrong" "I'm not a gangster" "I'm a straight businessman" "Boss Cheng, don't treat me like a fool" "And don't try to be smart" "You'll be sorry for this" "Let's go" "Something's brewing." "We'd better go" "What happened?" "Never mind" "Today is our day of celebration" "C'mon, let's party and raise a toast" "Stand back" "How dare you use the police to scare us?" "You'd better watch out!" "Hold it there..." "There's one injured over there" "Are you alright?" "Boss Cheng did betray us" "Get someone to fix him" "Shrimp balls, Pork shrimp balls" "Shrimp balls, Pork shrimp balls" "Call them in" "Close the gate" "Get them..." "Let's go" "Don't move." "Hands up" "Take them away" "Boss Cheng, I'll kill you when I get out" "Boss Cheng, this time I gave you face" "But you've already got what you want" "I want more than that" "I want a complete list of your guests" "I told you" "I don't know all of them" "Boss Cheng, if you protect them..." "I can still take action" "I'll give you 24 hours" "I'll be back at the same time tomorrow" "Let's go" "He's hard to deal with" "I know" "I don't know them." "How can I make a list?" "Why can't I..." "live peacefully in this world?" "Why don't they leave me alone?" "Boss Cheng, there's another gang coming to stir up a ruckus around here" "No one will help us this time" "We must defend ourselves" "Come on." "Get ready" "Don't move or I'll kill you" "Don't move..." "Prince Chi's men were here before us" "Boss Cheng, you were mean" "You used the police against us" "How do you know?" "Of course I know" "Boss Cheng" "You used the police to get Chi's men" "No wonder you stopped me that day" "But we don't forget a favor" "But we don't forget a favor" "You helped us once and we know it" "If you join us, everything will be alright" "God, what's the world coming to!" "No." "We are good citizens" "You must be kidding!" "Yep!" "Boss Cheng, we share the same rank" "If you join us... we'll be brothers" "This whole area will be ours" "If you nod your head, we'll be brothers" "What if I don't?" "No one has ever said no to me before" "If you don't accept the offer... your teahouse will close down permanently" "Let me think it over" "Ok, you think it over." "I'll come again" "I've made my decision" "I've made my decision" "You may say I'm selfish" "But I'm doing it for your future" "This is something I've got to do" "My decision" "I am leaving the Teahouse for good" "Boss Cheng, how can you?" "Why would you want to quit on us?" "Please don't go" "Because I'm the inspector's target" "He thinks I'm an evildoer" "And Tung wants to force me to join them" "I must leave this place" "Boss Cheng, we'll all go with you" "Boss Cheng" "Quiet!" "I know you are loyal to me" "But there's something you don't realise" "Without me, the Cheng Chi Teahouse... can still carry on" "Because Chu, Han..." "Cheng and Ching will stay here" "But without you, the Cheng Chi Teahouse... will be finished" "The Teahouse belongs to all of us" "It took the blood and sweat..." "And effort of all of us to make it" "So you must all stay here" "The Teahouse can go on without me" "You must work hard" "Build a good future for the teahouse" "And uphold my belief in espirit de corps" "The last thing I want to say is... is... goodbye" "How can you leave them behind?" "Do you think I like it this way?"
