"Ah-Lik, where's Master lp?" "Too late for that." "Master Tin was really furious." "Not sure why." "Master Tin?" "Now what?" "Why are you here," "Master lp?" "So I see my teacher." "What's it to you?" "Master." "Sang, leave Master lp out of this." "It's my idea to come here." "Stop causing so much trouble." "Leave those people alone, give it up." "I always taught you to do the right thing." "Look at yourself." "Know what you look like?" "Dirty money and a pack of thugs - really grand, you are!" "Think about it - if you didn't pay them would they still be there?" "When you're around, they bow and scrape." "Behind your back they call you the foreign devil's flunkey." "What?" "You want to fight me?" "So I'm a flunkey " "A flunkey with money is as good as a king." "And you?" "A poor teacher, so pure - you have to repair umbrellas to eat." "Does that feel good?" "You can't eat purity, can you?"
