"Good." "You organized a great show." "It was very enjoyable." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Good night." "Yes, thank you." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Great." "Really." "Hey, darling, the man's kung fu is good." "And that female lead, she's so good looking." "Of course." "That's why you're here, and you come every night." "You must be in love." "Hey, darling, you promised me." "Sure, but you promised me something, too." "Of course." "You can have anything you want." "You just have to ask, huh?" "All I need is your help." "Hey, listen..." "Mr. Chan, Mr. Duan's asked you to dinner." "Thank you." "Great show." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Sister?" " Come in." "Sister, Mr. Duan's asked us to dinner." "Just look at you." "You're such a mess." "Your makeup's running." "Listen, let's not accept it." "We must go." "This is our last night here, and we ought to thank him for all of his support." "Well, all right." "Hey, remember." "This time you don't get drunk." "Ha!" "Of course not." "Here is to you again." "Listen, we're real grateful." "We've done real good business here, and it's all because you arranged everything." "We appreciate it." "It's all right." "I mean, I've enjoyed watching your show, and my wife here is absolutely crazy about the whole thing." "And you, you're very good." "One thing I like is to watch expert kung fu." "Well, that's very nice of him." "So now then, let's drink to him." "Ah, right." "Cheers." "Brother, don't get drunk." "I'm all right." "Maybe, but we still have to pack." "Hey..." "So you're leaving us tomorrow?" "I'm really going to miss these performances." "It's too bad." "Ha-Sho, wine." "Sister, there's plenty of time." "Mr. Chan, they say stage shows are all a fake." "And onstage, kung fu is basically make believe." "I mean, it's all a sham." " What?" " Brother." "Sister, he said our kung fu's a sham." "It's not real." "Well, he's wrong." "I'll prove it any time." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Li Han 9?" "' Sir?" "Pick a couple of men and try him out." "Are you ready?" "Hey, wait." "Mr. Chan, would you call that real kung fu?" "An old style." "That's the reverse hands." "Sure." "Well, tell me." "Compared with yours, how's it rate, hmm?" "It doesn't." "Oh?" "Brother." "Sister, I can't let this chance go." "Don't." "Don't please." "Listen, the waist is too stiff." "Ought to be supple." "Besides, you move too slow." "Look, stand here, huh?" "Come on." "His elbow ought to be here." "He needs leverage." "Understand?" " You agree, Mr. Duan?" "Mmm." "Also, your rebound kick here." "Tsk, tsk tsk, tsk." "Watch." "It's his stance." "It's too weak." "He needs practice." "That right, Mr. Duan?" "Right." "Hey, he needs some wine." "Sure." "Brother, mm-mmm." "Hey, to drink some wine helps the discussion." "He's right there." "Well, since you seem to like my skill," "I don't mind demonstrating for you." "Right." "Let's begin now." "Hold it." "Don't you move." "Easy now." "Hope I didn't frighten you, huh?" "Still, by myself isn't much fun." "Oh, right." "We'll fix that." "We'll provide two men for you." "And if two's not enough, we can give you 10 men if you like." "Mr. Chan, would 10 men be enough for you?" "Well, I don't care." "Two or 10." "It's all the same." "Hmm." "Brother!" "You" "Oh, I'm not drunk." "I'm just having some fun." "Sure, it's just fun." "Nothing more." "Hey, come on, now then." "Hey, no good." "Use more weight strength." "Catch it?" "That's my hand." "Too bad." "Who's your teacher?" "Oh, good." "Good." "Some wine." "Mr. Chan needs a drink." "Mr. Chan, you drink well." "Sister!" "Brother, no more wine." "Let's go." "Hey, Miss Chan." "All this man talk, for a lady, must be boring." "Right, Mr. Chan?" "Oh, brother." " Ha Li?" " Yes?" "Listen, take Miss Chan to your room and discuss women's things, eh?" "All right." "Listen, we must leave now." "Oh, you don't have to go just yet." "You come with me." "Brother, let's go." "Drunk?" "Am I drunk?" "Of course you're not drunk." "Sister, these folks are very friendly, and before I leave," "I must seek his comfort." "Oh, brother, please listen to me." "Sister, I" "Come on now, Miss Chan." "Let's leave the men here." "It's no interest to us." "Let's go for a talk." "Come." " Brother!" " Go along." "Sister, I'm all right." "You watch." "Sure." "Come." "Mr. Chan, you demonstrate." "Please." "Please." "Hey, easy." "It's just a game, right?" "Good." "You can fu." "It's very good." "You're too kind." "Well, now I better show you what my real kung fu is like." "Watch, huh?" "No, better not use a fan." "It's unfair." "YOU!" "Listen, where are you going?" "Well..." "Getting you some wine." "Hey, bring some wine!" "Oh, yes!" "Yes!" "Mr. Chan, very good." "Very good." "Your kung fu is fantastic." "Perfect." "You're fast and nimble." "You look just like a monkey." "What's that?" "You're great." "Right, let's drink." "Listen, it's your waist." "It's too stiff." "But my waist is supple." "Still, my kung fu calls for a very firm waist." "You see?" "Mr. Chan, here's to you." "That was good." "That was soft." "You have to combine the two." "Great." "That was close, huh?" "Like stealing the monkey's grapes." "Miss Duan, it's getting late now." "I'm scared my brother will get drunk and make trouble." "Oh, no, he won't." "Well, let's see." "Hey, Miss Chan, don't you worry." "I mean, my husband really likes him." "Even if he gets drunk, there's not going to be any problem." "Maybe, but still, whenever he gets drunk, always he gets into trouble." "That so?" "I'll warn my husband due to that and say not to give him more wine, then." "Good." "Oh, Miss Chan," "I've made ginseng soup, so I'll give him some." "Hey, look after Miss Chan." "I'll show you some more now, huh?" "Oh, please." "Oh, great." "That's great." "Hey, not finished." "There's more?" "It's the formal part." "Here it comes." "Oh, wow." "Very hard, that..." "Some more wine, eh?" "He's had too much." "All right, it's your turn, huh?" "Miss Chan, I'm very sorry." "Your brother is drunk." "He's running around like a crazy monkey." "I don't know where he's gone." "I'm very sorry." "He's too much." "Oh, where could he be?" "Don't worry." "I've got my men looking for him." "Where's your wife?" "Oh, I was looking for your brother." "Don't know where she is." "I'll go look." "Uh, there is no need." "As soon as I've found your brother," "I'll let you know." " What?" " It's true." " It can't be." " I saw it myself." "My brother" "All right, let's go see." "Mr. Chan." "Mr. Chan, you" "Now, look." "What's this?" "Sister, I" "Brother!" "You tramp!" "You've disgraced my family name." "How could you?" "It wasn't my fault." "I was making some ginseng soup and he broke into the room and then" "I did nothing." "Listen" "Quiet!" "I thought you were an honorable man, but you were just faking drunk." "Brother!" "Damn you." "You're as guilty as hell." "I've seen the proof." "Listen, my brother was drunk, or he would never have done this." "Sister, listen, I" "Brother, please don't say another word." "It's bad enough." "Miss Chan, in these cases, the punishment is death by drowning." "Huh?" "My brother drank too much." "Forgive him." "Who can forgive this?" "Listen, how can I make amends?" "Stop it!" "Mr. Chan, we have our rules here." "I have no choice." "Quiet!" "All right, I'll pay the price." "Brother!" "Forget me." "I'll stand in his place." "But how?" "Listen, you spare him and I'll be your slave." "I'll be your concubine." "Spare him." "Sister!" "Brother, I've made up my mind." "Listen, say yes." "But how can I?" "Say yes!" "Well, all right." "But I'll have to cripple his hands." "But Why?" "So that he never again will take a drink without thinking of what he did here." "No." "Damn you!" "Brother, please don't." "Halt." "He can jump and somersault." "A-one, two, three, four, five, six." "Hey, and now you've seen him do all of those somersaults," "I hope he's amused you with these tricks here." "Now buy some candy." "Very good, huh?" "Let's buy some candy." "Well, he's got plenty more tricks yet, so come on, then, take some." "Here we are." "Come on." "Hey, that's good." "Come on, buy some." "Come on, man." "Buy some." "Very good." "Hey, what about you, sir?" "Huh?" "Come on." "Hey, why not buy some?" "Me buy?" "You buy." "Hey, do you want some?" "Huh?" "You got any money?" "No." "Right." "Doesn't matter." "Take some, huh?" "Just take it." "Plenty for everyone." "Here's some candy." "Come on." "Come on." "Hey, you haven't got much." "Oh, well, I only just got started." "How about that you come back later?" "In that case" "Listen, I just started." "I've no money yet, so come later." "Ha!" "You ordering us?" "I'll show you." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Here, let me help you." "Here." "Come on." "Hey, let's go." "Come on." "Hey, boss, here's mine." " Here's mine." " Here you are." "Did quite well today." "Where's the rest of the candy?" "Have some drinks, fellas." "Go ahead." "Let's sit down." "Waiter?" "Coming UP"" "We ought to take his money first, huh?" "Let's get moving." "Come on." "Chief ought to be happy with us, huh?" "We got quite a lot today, eh?" "Pull me up!" "Help me!" "Pull me up!" "Pull me up!" "Aah!" "What are you doing?" "Help!" "Help!" "Hey, watch out." "Where does that street performer live, huh?" "Performer?" " Yeah." "Oh, on the boat there." "Thanks." "Mr. Chan." "Mr. Chan, hi." "Hi." "Well, you come to see the show?" "There's no show tonight." "No." "Brought some food and wine." "Ahh..." "Here." "It's good wine." "Try it." "What you doing?" "It's good wine, this here." "Get out." "I didn't know you don't drink." "Have some food." "Not your hands." "They're filthy." "Use this." "Tell me, what's your name?" "Monkey." "Monkey?" "Yeah." "Don't know my real name." "I'm just called monkey, that's all." "Well, you do act like one." "Sit." "Right." "Listen, sorry I was rude, but seeing wine" "Ah, you don't drink then." "Right." "Hey, the food's good." "Of course." "I got it specially to give to you." "Must have cost a lot." "Ah, so what?" "I got it from that collector." "Took it." "You stole it then?" "Sure, I stole it." "After all, if you're not strong, you have to steal." "This world is hard and cruel as well, and nobody ever gets a chance here." "Hey, Mr. Chan, why don't you eat your food?" "Right." "Hey, and you, too." "Listen, street performers, they always drink." "Why don't you?" "Mr. Chan." "Oh, sorry." "It's the food." "Too rich." "I eat too fast." "Sit, sit." "Hey, go on." "Mr. Chan, you have this piece." "Oh, thanks." "Did you hurt your hand, then?" "Uh... sort of." "It was long ago." "Monkey bite you?" "No." "A rat then?" "Was it a snake?" "A woman maybe." "Mr. Chan!" "Mr. Chan!" "What's wrong?" "Mr. Chan." "Are you having a fit?" "No." "Oh." "Then you've caught your monkey's habits." "Because monkeys, when they mate, act like that." "Mr. Chan, how was that?" "That's very good." "Listen, I'm sorry." "No offense?" "Hey, eat." "Hey, baldy, this leaf here it's so nice and cool." "You can use it as a fan." "Wave it, wave it, wave it." "Oh, also, you can use it as a hat, 'cause it'll make your hair grow all nice and curly." "It's really good." "I think that it's about time you had this." "How do you like that?" "Oh, five." "I got five." "It's more like ten." "Oh, none." "Oh--aah!" "Five again." "Bastard." "He'd better watch out." "Monkey got caught." "So what?" "Doesn't happen very often." "You better watch it or you'll get hurt." "Listen, I got no food." "I'm sorry." "It's all right, but if you keep stealing, you'll wind up dead." "If I don't steal, I'll starve to death." "I don't starve, and I don't steal." "You're different." "You've got a monkey show." "But I haven't, so I must steal." "At least you stole from the right people." "It's late." "Get some sleep." "Right." "Sleep with Ahmo." "Hey, listen, that sings real well, you know." "Yes, very well." "But mine, no way." "Not a peep." "Boss?" "Hi." "Monkey, what do you want?" "Oh, nothing." "Just that I've reformed now." "I thought that maybe you could take me on here, to work here, huh?" "Huh?" "You want a job here?" "That's very nice, but what do you think you could do?" "You've no training." "Huh?" "I'd stop your customers from cheating, for starters." "No!" "No!" "You paid nothing!" "I'll pay you." "I promise you." "I promise you." "You're holding out on us, eh?" "I know your kind." "No, I" "No!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "No!" "No!" "Hey!" "Damn you!" "You wanna fight?" "Get him!" "Hey, you all right?" "Come!" "Looks bad." "Let's go." "Might get hurt." "All right, let's go." "Come on!" "Waiter, the check." "Coming!" "We'll call the elders and see what is what." "We throw the bowls in the water." "Then the waiter won't know how many bowls we had, you see?" "Hey, friend, don't wash up here." "The water's dirty." "It's all full of germs." "What the hell are you-- You-you" "What?" "Ah, now let's see what you've had here, huh?" "Here you are." "Four more here from table three." "Accidentally dropped in." "Ah, including those, $4.00 altogether." "Monkey, very good." "Of course." "Listen, why isn't Chan here?" "Ah, too bad." "Those bastards, they came and killed his monkey for no reason." "They're bastards." "They really are." "Mr. Chan?" "Mr. Chan?" "Mr. Chan?" "Well, got caught, huh?" "Ahmo, you rest in heaven, and the men who killed you, we'll get 'em." "Mr. Chan, don't grieve." "No use." "Tomorrow we'll get another." "Yeah." "And if we can't, I'll play the part." "Monkey!" " Are you hurt?" " No." "I got a pretty tough ass." "Mr. Chan, don't you worry now." "I'll get revenge." "Monkey, do nothing stupid." "You provoke 'em, and they'll kill you for sure." "Don't worry." "I'll fight them, but not openly." "I mean, I do know a few tricks." "Don't try." "You don't stand a chance." "Huh?" "Why says so?" "I'll use a line to catch 'em." "Then I'll play 'em a little, like fish or crabs." "They're worms in a manure pit, hiding in their own dirt." "But once they come out, they can be handled." "You're crazy." "Hey, listen, I got $2.00." " Oh, you stole it." " Hey, who said so?" "I earned it myself today." "Earned it?" "That's what I said." "By the sweat of my brow." "I'm glad to hear that." "Oh, come on." "Let's eat." "All right." "We forgot to bury Ahmo." "Ahmo, you died before your time, but you've left this wicked world now so may your soul rest in peace." "Mr. Chan, you want to say something?" "Mmm." "Ahmo!" "Mr. Chan." "Monkey, it's you." "Just for a minute," "I thought it was Ahmo." "Well, you have to admit I act like Ahmo." "Hey, you" "I watched him." "Studied his actions." "Watch." "Ahmo somersaults." "Ahmo scratches." "Ahmo sits." "Also..." "Ahmo jumps." "Wouldn't work." "It wouldn't?" "Why not?" "Because a monkey has hair." "Hair?" "Right." "All right." "Now then, folks, this is no savage beast, nor is it a legendary animal." "What do you think it is?" "That's right." "It is a monkey." "Played by a man, though." "You watch him, huh?" "He's good." "He can act just like a monkey." "He can also jump." "All right." "And he can play with a pole." "Also, he can sell candy." "I want some candy." "Thank you." "That guy's doing real well." "He's new here." "Come on!" "Get out!" "Go on!" "Out of the way!" "Come on, move!" "Hey, well, now." "You again, huh?" "Hello." "Doing real well." "Oh, all right." "Hey!" "Damn you!" "You leave us alone!" "So you're playing monkey now, huh?" "I must say, it really suits you." "Hey, we're just trying to make a living." "That so?" "Then pay us, huh?" "One dollar?" "Ha!" "Come on, there's two of you." "You pay two dollars." "Aah!" "Should be only one dollar for every pitch." "Listen, with you here, I charge more!" "You hear?" "Ha!" "Don't fight!" "Don't fight." "You know, he's really good." "Use the knives!" "Go on!" "All right." "All right, I'll pay." "It's two dollars." "Mr. Chan" "Well, all right, then." "Pay us." "Hurry." "Go on." "He's got none." "All right." "Well." "Uh, that's" "I see." "So you've been holding out on us, huh?" "Right." "Get it." "That's it." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Look, Monkey, I've been doing this for five years." "I'm used to it." "It doesn't bother me." "Well, why should you pay bribes?" "Now, look, some men have to pay bribes from birth." "When they study, they pay bribes, and when they want a job, they still pay bribes." "Well, that's not right." "Aah!" "Those bastards." "We have to work hard just to pay them." "No way." "I'll get it back." " Stay here." " Why?" "If you mess with them, they'll take your hide out." "I don't care." "I'm going." "Don't be so stupid." "You wouldn't stand a chance." "I'll try." "You'll stay here." "Oh, the real thing." "Real what?" "You can fight." "Says who?" "Those guys we fought today." "Nonsense." "It's not." "In fact, I should have learned." "You could have been teaching me kung fu." "Instead, all I've learned these weeks is monkey act." "Now, look, we have to make a living." "Maybe, but still, nobody beats me." "Now, listen, kid." "Stick to monkey tricks... and live." "You got that?" "I'm quitting." "That's mine." "That's enough." "Let's get back." "Paid in full." "Oh, yes." "I'm coming." "Hold it." "You've gone too far now." "I've had enough." "This is it." "Ah, so it's you again, huh?" "What do you want?" "Listen!" "From now on you can call me not Monkey, but Monkey King." "All right?" "You got that, then?" "No, I haven't." "Do you?" "Don't think I heard him right there." "I think he's gone nuts." "Monkey, don't make trouble." "Now, look, until we're rid of them, this place will have no peace." "Hold it!" "I'm not dealing with you." "Fetch your boss here." "Do you mean Mr. Chai, then?" "That's right." "I think you're in for a real hard time." "That's crossroads." "Four horse gallop." "Timely stop." "A middle hit." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Circle style." "I must break out." "Get him!" "The monkey raises his hand." "Hold it!" "It's me!" "Hold it!" "Ah-choo!" "Ah-choo!" "Please stop it." "Hold it!" "I'll kill him!" "I have to stop this." "Now, please, sir." "Don't hit him or you'll kill him." "He's just a bit simple and soft in the head, but he doesn't mean any harm." "Please, sir, please." "Take these, all right?" "Well, all right." "Just this once." "God damn them!" "I'll show them!" "Monkey, you'll live." "I don't want to." "I'd rather die fighting." "It's easier." "I'll go back." "I never taught you." "I was afraid... you'd get killed." "I don't care if I die, 'cause life's not worth living." " Learning kung fu is tough." " So what?" "Well, I think that you'd give up." "Sooner die first." "You know the first rule?" "Bow to you, master." "This is no place to learn." "Where, then?" "The mountains." "Aah!" "Ten fingers." "All must be strong, 'cause monkey boxing needs strength." "Need strong fingers and wrists." "Aah!" "Come on." "Again." "Teacher, turn me loose." "It hurts." "I can't move." "You can still hold things." "You'll soon learn." "You'll see." "Oh, come on, then." "What's the problem?" "I can't move now." "You'll learn." "From now on, you'll stay like that until I say otherwise." "They mustn't touch the ground." "Lift both hands." "Turn around." "Now jump like a monkey." "Jump." "Right." "Teacher, potatoes." " Put 'em down." " Right." "Sit down." "Use your hands." "Okay." "Aah!" "A monkey must be fast." "But I'm tied up." "I can hardly move." "You know that." "Then go hungry." "Well..." "Again?" "Monkey, this chicken here, it ought to taste good." "Sure." "Want to try some?" "No, thanks." "Hmm?" "Not hungry?" "Sure, but I'm just too slow, so I'll eat potato." "You're very humble tonight." "I have to be, though." "Usually I can only grab two of them, but one day, I'll get more." "Well, try." "Huh?" "Teacher, you're right." "Tastes great." "You have to move fast in this world." " Bad." " You're smart." "Teacher, these ropes." "They for clothes?" "Not for clothes." "For you." "Huh?" "For me?" "Well, what are they for?" "Your hands are fast." "You're learning well." "But your arms are too weak." "Maybe." "What's that have to do with ropes?" "Well, the monkey's arms are strong because he's always swinging from trees." "Sure, sure." "So as from tonight, sleep on the ropes." "Huh?" "Sleep on the ropes?" "Right." "I might fall off, though." "Come on." "Right." "You hold on, and you won't fall." "So get UP-." "You'll soon get used to it." "Go on." "Well, all right." "Come on." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Why'd you let go?" "You tickled my arm." "That's why." "I had to." "And what happens when a monkey's tickled by a branch?" "Does he fall?" "No." "Get up." "Come on, keep going." "Go on." "Fingers and wrists and arms all getting stronger." "Teacher, well, how am I doing?" "I'll tell you this." "You've lots to learn." "What?" "Lots to learn?" "There can't be." "Teacher, well, huh?" "Ow." "That's not too good." "Course not." "What do you expect when you push me?" "You're supposed to fall like a monkey." "Well, how's that?" "A monkey somersault, that's how." "Oh." "Go on." "Teacher, how am I doing now?" "I'm doing well, huh?" "Well, I've mastered fingers, wrists, and arms, and waist, somersaults, swinging from trees." "Just about everything, don't you think?" "No, I don't." "What?" "Don't believe me?" "Come and fight me." "Teacher, fighting with you is pointless." "That's not what I want." "You want to fight those guys down in the town?" "Sure." "So you mean, then, you'll go now." "That's what I want." "When do you want to go?" "Go tonight." "I mean, sooner I go, better for the town." "I'll go at sundown." "All right." "Monkey." "Teacher, please instruct me." "Monkey, if you insist on going down, then I won't stop you." "But remember, in this world there's tough men." "Go on." "Teacher, I bow to you three times." "Once." "Twice." "Three times." "Teacher, now please take care." "Wait." "Teacher, changed your mind?" "I don't have much, but here's a little gift for you." "Huh?" "Teacher, just an old hat?" "Now, don't belittle it." "Just wear it." "You'll get to like it." "That's good." "Thanks, teacher." "He's mine." "Huh." "That's him." "There's that bastard we didn't kill." "Now it seems he's teaching kids." "You're all bastards." "Bastards!" "He's even taught 'em to curse us." "Are you not scared to die?" "I wouldn't mind, but still, the devil wouldn't want to take me." "Well, in that case, we'll help you." "Hold it." "Why are you pushing them in front?" "I mean, can't you fight yourself?" "Of course." "Still, that's their job." "Right." "Enough talk." "Go on." "Hey, wait." "Let's keep it fair." "Fight one to one." "You agree?" "Unless you're too scared." "Right." "Otah, fight." "Hey, now, wait." "Not in front of the kids." "Hey, go on." "Home you go." "Hey, he's good." "Well, now, that was simple." "Two this time, okay?" "Which side?" "This side or this side?" "I'll go this side." "Here." "And here's something for you, huh?" "Very nice." "Good for you." "Fl" "Ha!" "Two down." "The odds seem good." "We'll fix him." "Now that's better." "Three now." "Red, green, white." "Right!" "Wow!" "You're really tough." "Well, all the better." "Hold it." "No good at all." "You're going too slow." "Congratulations." "Very good." "Now I'll start in earnest." "Finger strength." "Hey, isn't it your turn, then?" "Huh?" "Hey, it's our turn." "Who goes first?" " You." " Me?" "But I got the money." "You go." "Not me." "Hey, either one will do." "Hey, that's old fashioned." "No one wants to see that." "There, see?" "Now, isn't that better, then?" "That's my hat!" "Hey, that's my pipe." "I like that." "Very good." "It's me!" "A kung fu man shouldn't smoke." "I need a saddle here." "Somersault." "This is yours." "Hey, does that taste good?" "My hat." "My hat!" "Hey, let me go." "Is that the snake, then?" "That's right." "The snake." "You're breaking my arm!" "So how much did you collect today?" " Oh, no." "Him." " Him?" "It wasn't me." "I don't care." "Give it all back." "Give it all back." "Give it back." "Take me to your boss, Mr. Chai." "We can't." "Aah!" "Come on." "Hey, why you all standing there?" "Get to work." "You're being paid." "Go on." "Go on, move!" "Go on!" "The last few days, business is good." "Not bad." "Of course, Master." "Since I've been running the place this year, we're doing very well, making nice fat profits, eh?" "Come on." "You know it's not that." "I mean, we have to thank all these ladies here." "Yes, of course." "Yes, of course." "You have to be joking." "These two like making jokes." "All right." "I've got a nice dinner ordered for us downstairs." "Let's go down, eh?" "Good." "Oh, Monkey!" "Hi there." "Hi there." "Pull him down!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Who's he?" "Well, now" "Listen, your men have been squeezing the traders." "If they don't pay, your men beat them." "That's why I'm here, to settle a few accounts with you." "Damn you!" "Hey, wait." "This guy seems quite sharp." "Who is he?" "He's just some" "I'll tell you." "I'm the Monkey King, that's who." "That your style?" "He's just a bum." "Acts like a monkey." "He just used to be a cheap thief, and then..." "and then some stranger taught him how to do these monkey tricks." "Well, in that case, then, he ought to be no problem." "Think so?" "Well, I mean business." "Oh?" "Ah-Chai, you fix him up and we'll watch, huh?" "Right." "Won't take very long." "Hey, accidents cost lives." "Oh, I won't jump, then." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hey, I'm over here." "Skill snap." "Hold it." "Your patch has moved." "No, down there." "That's it." "Right." "There." "That look better." "Yeah." "Okay." "Hey, he's there." "Hey, over here!" "Hey, Chai, just watch this." "OW!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "OW!" "Hey, let go." "Come on." "Leading the ox, huh?" "Help me." "It's me!" "Turn around!" "Good." "Good." "You aren't bad." "Stand back." "You fight quite well." "Well, Chai, you say you're an expert." "That style that I'm using, is it real monkey?" "You style looks like monkey, but it's not." "What?" "Who's he?" "Well, he's my boss." "You're not the boss?" "I'm number two." "Oh." "So he's the boss." "Well, Chai, you were playing the boss." "While you were gone, I sort of took over." "Well, now, seems you don't know this style." "It's the real thing." "Oh, monkey." "I know that." "Tell me, who is your teacher?" "Aha!" "That's my secret." "I'm sorry." "Won't tell you." "Sure, sure." "It's time to eat." "Serve the food." " Right." " Right." "Ah-Chai, let's eat." "Sure." "We can eat right away." "Dinner?" "Hey, do you know what my favorite food is?" "I know." "A Manchu feast." "You do know monkey." "Huh." "This'll be tough." " Sister, let's go down." " Right." "You know what?" "The boss's kung fu has got even better." "Listen, his fighting style reminds me of someone else." "My brother?" "No way." "Ah-Chai, fetch some wine and some food here." "I intend to lay out a special dish." "All right." "Right away." "Come on." "Come on." "Hey, no need." "I'm too full." "I'm not hungry." "You're not?" "Well, I am." "Wait, wait." "Get back." "Because I'm going to serve a very rare dish." "Hey." "I can't see it first." "That isn't right." "Master, I know." "It's live monkey brain." " Get ready." " Right." "Hey, that's not nice now, is it?" "Think not?" "It's a good winter dish, though." "Sit down." "Right." "Come on." "Let's sit down." "Sit." "Come on, sit." "Now, then, you have made a lot of trouble." "Now tell me, who's your teacher?" "What's his name?" "I may have lost, but I won't talk." "I won't disgrace my teacher." "I'd sooner die first." "Huh." "You bastard." "Clean the head." "It has to be sterilized." "Now, then, a little alcohol." "Next thing is to shave the hair off." "Then smash the skull, all right?" "Aah!" "Who's your teacher?" " Talk!" " Shan't." "Right." "Ah-Chai." "Now as slowly as you can, smash his skull." "God damn you." "Aah!" "Help me!" "Get him!" "After him!" "God damn you, county fool." "I forgot the teacher's hat." "I'm certain that fellow is Chan's pupil." "You are useless." "You lost him." "I did?" "Now, listen, it's your fault." "You helped him." "Oh, yeah?" "You know that was just an accident." "Huh." "You like monkey boxers, you remember?" "What's that?" "You set Chan up that time." "You know that." "Oh, so you're blaming me now." "I paid you a good price that time." "Right." "I admit that you gave me this brothel, but still, you promised when you were through, you'd let me have the girl to work for me in the brothel here." "But still, you've not let me have her yet." "Well, have you?" "Why are you here?" "I had to get my teacher's hat back." "Who's your teacher?" "Name's Chan." "That's my brother!" "Huh?" "You sure of that?" "I'm sure." "I heard them talking then some years back." "They framed my brother with a trick." "To save his life, I gave myself to Duan." "Come here, Duan" "YOU!" "You bitch!" "So then, it was you who did it." "Helped him escape." "And now you fight me?" "You lousy swine." "Now I know how you tricked me that time." "I'll kill you!" "That's good!" "Get out!" "I won't!" "Master!" "Please stop fighting!" "Stop fight" "Stop that." "Please stop that." "Chai, she's helping that monkey fella." "Huh?" "Get him!" "Go on!" "You're still here?" "Get him!" "After him!" "After him!" "Hey." "Monkey?" "Teacher?" "Couldn't stay away, huh?" "You miss me?" "Huh?" "Sure." "Teacher, I..." "When you left, you were full of bounce then." "You're not now." "So what happened?" "Well--ow!" "Headache?" "No." "Hat too tight?" "No." "Then maybe you were hit on the head." "Yes, teacher." "And how come you let that happen?" "After all, you fight so well." "Well, I did." "I did great at first." "I used finger and wrist and arm-ow." "First of all, I beat up Ah-Chai and his gang of thugs, too." "Really smashed 'em." "But then the big boss came in." "He said I couldn't fight." "I got mad and I went for him." "Used everything." "Somersault." "No good." "So he beat you?" "Yeah." "Well, that's a crummy bandage." "Why didn't you use my hat then to cover it?" "Your hat?" "Teacher, met your sister." "My sister?" "Sure." "Tonight." "Where?" "In a brothel." "You couldn't have." "Teacher, she doesn't work there." "She's the boss's girl." "Is his name Duan?" "That's the bastard." "Hey, teacher, she said" "Said what?" "She said Duan framed you for something once." "God damn it!" "Sure, she helped me." "Helped fight that swine." "Still couldn't match him." " Teacher, where you going?" " Find him." " You mustn't." " Why not?" "That guy Duan is clever." "Besides that..." "My hands." "Damn!" "Don't you worry." "If your sister's his concubine," "I think he's not going to hurt her." "Besides, it's no good." "You can't use your monkey style, and you wouldn't have a chance there." " Now, look." " Yeah?" "You know that your kung fu" "It's no good." " What then?" " More practice." "The next thing you must master will be the four moves." "Right." "Again." "Teacher." "Teacher." "Mister, any special girl?" " Yeah." " Who?" " You're ma." " My ma?" "Ah, please." "We have Sou-ying, Sou-win, Sou-choc, Sou-Wong, Sou-chai." "Sou-choc is a very pretty girl as well." "A bit fat." "A lot of fellas like that." "Don't be shy." "Choose." "Want you." "Want me." "Oh." "I see." "You're a pervert." "Ow!" "Don't do that." "You want a man, eh?" "Of course." "All the men here." "Ah." "You want them all?" "That's right, and your boss." "Hey!" "Well, my boss isn't like that." "Besides, you wouldn't like him." "But still, if that's just what you want then, then don't you worry." "I'm quite sure that we can satisfy you here." "Ah-fau!" "Yes, sir?" "Oh?" "One's not enough." "Bring me some more." "We Will." " Fix him up." " I will..." "Ooh!" "You finished, sir?" "I told you I want them all." "I'll get two more." " Ah-sing, Ah-hoi!" " Huh?" "Yeah?" "Go on, then, huh?" "Oh, okay." "What's wrong?" "Ah, don't you fellas have any stamina, then?" "I thought you were supposed to be tough." "Hey, you're something else." "Of course I am." "Four more men." "What is it?" "This fella likes men." "Fix him up, eh?" "Hey, it's all business." "All money." "Hey, what are you fellas doing there?" "What's wrong with you, then, eh?" "Huh?" "Hey!" "Hey, don't I know you?" "What are you pulling here, huh?" "Oh." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What does this say?" "Monkey." "Well... aah!" "It's Little Monkey." "Follow the plan." "Guarded by four posts, taken down by four ropes, the net will seal him in." "Alert the boss!" "Where are my monkey guards?" "Hey, where are you?" "Bring all you want, but clear the place first." "Those not involved, you better get out, or you'll get hurt." "Go on." "Go on." "Hey, don't go!" "Don't go!" "Don't go!" "You drove them all out, damn you." "Mr. Chai, I'm helping you to reform, because we fighting men, we must..." "We must clean the town up, starting here." "Then we move on to the rest of the town." "After today, there won't be any more brothels." "You got that?" "That's it." "Hey, who sent you?" "My teacher?" "That's right." "And so your teacher sent you to preach here, huh?" "Everything ready?" "Well, then, is everybody here now?" "All here." "Well, now, in any fighting, the lineup's important." "That so?" "Is that a fact, eh?" "Well, you'll soon see." "Get him!" "Are you testing me out?" "How long have you been learning?" "Five months?" "No way." "I'd say three months at most." "Kill him." "Use swords." "Hey, you." "Kill him!" "Hold it there." "Now, wait." "Ah-Chai, where is he, then?" "We've got him." "He's in there." "Where is he?" "Come on now." "He's in there somewhere." "Where is he then?" "Where is he?" "Well, the star himself is here." "Well, I must admit, your skill has much improved." "Oh, yeah." "Monkey stays monkey." "Well, then, I knew that you'd come back here again once you'd improved." "Right." "Now that I'm here, I have three objectives." "One, to remove a local evil." "Two, avenge my teacher." "Three, I'm going to take away that girl, Tsuei Hung." "Tsuei Hung?" "She was badly wounded." "Afraid that she's dead." "Monkey, even if you were the Monkey King, you couldn't escape." "Take his head!" "Well, get in there." " You got him!" " You got him!" "Your teacher, he couldn't beat me either." "Nor can you!" "It's not the end of the story." "My teacher will come and help me." "Take him out." "Don't mess up the floor." "Right!" "Come on, you." "Teacher's here." "Teacher!" "Ah, Mr. Chan." "Well, now, how have you been?" "Fine." "Madam." "Mr. Chan, even though your hands have been crippled, your young student is quite brilliant." "Enough talk." "Where's my sister?" "Teacher, they've killed her." "Wait!" "Don't be scared." "His hands are crippled." "Teacher, why weren't you earlier?" "I'd be in the net, too, if I were." "Oh, right." "Hold it!" "Huh." "Good as ever." "Don't forget that your hands are crippled." "But I'm not." "Well, come on!" "Go on!" "Go on!" "Oh, my hands!" "My hands!" "Hey. let's go, eh?" "Let's get out of here!" "Well, now." "Hey, have I improved much?" "He's gotten worse." "Well, now, the moral of the story is all martial artists should always be upright and avoid the lusts of the flesh, and practice more to keep healthy." "Got that?" "It hurts?" "Well, that's just what you deserve." "An eye for an eye." "Teacher, that right?" "Mmm." "Now, then," "I'll avenge the girl." "Hey, Monkey!" "No!" "No!" "Good." "You organized a great show." "It was very enjoyable." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Good night." "Yes, thank you." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Great." "Really." "Hey, darling, the man's kung fu is good." "Mmm." "And that female lead, she's so good looking." "Of course." "That's why you're here, and you come every night." "You must be in love." "Hey, darling, you promised me." "Sure, but you promised me something, too." "Of course." "You can have anything you want." "You just have to ask, huh?" "All I need is your help." "Hey, listen..." "Mr. Chan, Mr. Duan's asked you to dinner." "Thank you." "Great show." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Sister?" " Come in." "Sister, Mr. Duan's asked us to dinner." "Just look at you." "You're such a mess." "Your makeup's running." "Listen, let's not accept it." "We must go." "This is our last night here, and we ought to thank him for all of his support." "Well, all right." "Hey, remember." "This time you don't get drunk." "Ha!" "Of course not." "Here is to you again." "Listen, we're real grateful." "We've done real good business here, and it's all because you arranged everything." "We appreciate it." "It's all right." "I mean, I've enjoyed watching your show, and my wife here is absolutely crazy about the whole thing." "And you, you're very good." "One thing I like is to watch expert kung fu." "Well, that's very nice of him." "So now then, let's drink to him." "Ah, right." "Cheers." "Brother, don't get drunk." "I'm all right." "Maybe, but we still have to pack." "Hey..." "So you're leaving us tomorrow?" "I'm really going to miss these performances." "It's too bad." "Ha-Sho, wine." "Sister, there's plenty of time." "Mr. Chan, they say stage shows are all a fake." "And onstage, kung fu is basically make believe." "I mean, it's all a sham." " What?" " Brother." "Sister, he said our kung fu's a sham." "It's not real." "Well, he's wrong." "I'll prove it any time." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Li Han 9?" "' Sir?" "Pick a couple of men and try him out." "Are you ready?" "Hey, wait." "Mr. Chan, would you call that real kung fu?" "An old style." "That's the reverse hands." "Sure." "Well, tell me." "Compared with yours, how's it rate, hmm?" "It doesn't." "Oh?" "Brother." "Sister, I can't let this chance go." "Don't." "Don't please." "Listen, the waist is too stiff." "Ought to be supple." "Besides, you move too slow." "Look, stand here, huh?" "Come on." "His elbow ought to be here." "He needs leverage." "Understand?" " You agree, Mr. Duan?" "Mmm." "Also, your rebound kick here." "Tsk, tsk tsk, tsk." "Watch." "It's his stance." "It's too weak." "He needs practice." "That right, Mr. Duan?" "Right." "Hey, he needs some wine." "Sure." "Brother, mm-mmm." "Hey, to drink some wine helps the discussion." "He's right there." "Well, since you seem to like my skill," "I don't mind demonstrating for you." "Right." "Let's begin now." "Hold it." "Don't you move." "Easy now." "Hope I didn't frighten you, huh?" "Still, by myself isn't much fun." "Oh, right." "We'll fix that." "We'll provide two men for you." "And if two's not enough, we can give you 10 men if you like." "Mr. Chan, would 10 men be enough for you?" "Well, I don't care." "Two or 10." "It's all the same." "Hmm." "Brother!" "You" "Oh, I'm not drunk." "I'm just having some fun." "Sure, it's just fun." "Nothing more." "Hey, come on, now then." "Hey, no good." "Use more weight strength." "Catch it?" "That's my hand." "Too bad." "Who's your teacher?" "Oh, good." "Good." "Some wine." "Mr. Chan needs a drink." "Mr. Chan, you drink well." "Sister!" "Brother, no more wine." "Let's go." "Hey, Miss Chan." "All this man talk, for a lady, must be boring." "Right, Mr. Chan?" "Oh, brother." " Ha Li?" " Yes?" "Listen, take Miss Chan to your room and discuss women's things, eh?" "All right." "Listen, we must leave now." "Oh, you don't have to go just yet." "You come with me." "Brother, let's go." "Drunk?" "Am I drunk?" "Of course you're not drunk." "Sister, these folks are very friendly, and before I leave," "I must seek his comfort." "Oh, brother, please listen to me." "Sister, I" "Come on now, Miss Chan." "Let's leave the men here." "It's no interest to us." "Let's go for a talk." "Come." " Brother!" " Go along." "Sister, I'm all right." "You watch." "Sure." "Come." "Mr. Chan, you demonstrate." "Please." "Please." "Hey, easy." "It's just a game, right?" "Good." "You can fu." "It's very good." "You're too kind." "Well, now I better show you what my real kung fu is like." "Watch, huh?" "No, better not use a fan." "It's unfair." "YOU!" "Listen, where are you going?" "Well..." "Getting you some wine." "Hey, bring some wine!" "Oh, yes!" "Yes!" "Mr. Chan, very good." "Very good." "Your kung fu is fantastic." "Perfect." "You're fast and nimble." "You look just like a monkey." "What's that?" "You're great." "Right, let's drink." "Listen, it's your waist." "It's too stiff." "But my waist is supple." "Still, my kung fu calls for a very firm waist." "You see?" "Mr. Chan, here's to you." "That was good." "That was soft." "You have to combine the two." "Great." "That was close, huh?" "Like stealing the monkey's grapes." "Miss Duan, it's getting late now." "I'm scared my brother will get drunk and make trouble." "Oh, no, he won't." "Well, let's see." "Hey, Miss Chan, don't you worry." "I mean, my husband really likes him." "Even if he gets drunk, there's not going to be any problem." "Maybe, but still, whenever he gets drunk, always he gets into trouble." "That so?" "I'll warn my husband due to that and say not to give him more wine, then." "Good." "Oh, Miss Chan," "I've made ginseng soup, so I'll give him some." "Hey, look after Miss Chan." "I'll show you some more now, huh?" "Oh, please." "Oh, great." "That's great." "Hey, not finished." "There's more?" "It's the formal part." "Here it comes." "Oh, wow." "Very hard, that..." "Some more wine, eh?" "He's had too much." "All right, it's your turn, huh?" "Miss Chan, I'm very sorry." "Your brother is drunk." "He's running around like a crazy monkey." "I don't know where he's gone." "I'm very sorry." "He's too much." "Oh, where could he be?" "Don't worry." "I've got my men looking for him." "Where's your wife?" "Oh, I was looking for your brother." "Don't know where she is." "I'll go look." "Uh, there is no need." "As soon as I've found your brother," "I'll let you know." " What?" " It's true." " It can't be." " I saw it myself." "My brother" "All right, let's go see." "Mr. Chan." "Mr. Chan, you" "Now, look." "What's this?" "Sister, I" "Brother!" "You tramp!" "You've disgraced my family name." "How could you?" "It wasn't my fault." "I was making some ginseng soup and he broke into the room and then" "I did nothing." "Listen" "Quiet!" "I thought you were an honorable man, but you were just faking drunk." "Brother!" "Damn you." "You're as guilty as hell." "I've seen the proof." "Listen, my brother was drunk, or he would never have done this." "Sister, listen, I" "Brother, please don't say another word." "It's bad enough." "Miss Chan, in these cases, the punishment is death by drowning." "Huh?" "My brother drank too much." "Forgive him." "Who can forgive this?" "Listen, how can I make amends?" "Stop it!" "Mr. Chan, we have our rules here." "I have no choice." "Quiet!" "All right, I'll pay the price." "Brother!" "Forget me." "I'll stand in his place." "But how?" "Listen, you spare him and I'll be your slave." "I'll be your concubine." "Spare him." "Sister!" "Brother, I've made up my mind." "Listen, say yes." "But how can I?" "Say yes!" "Well, all right." "But I'll have to cripple his hands." "But Why?" "So that he never again will take a drink without thinking of what he did here." "No." "Damn you!" "Brother, please don't." "Halt." "He can jump and somersault." "A-one, two, three, four, five, six." "Hey, and now you've seen him do all of those somersaults," "I hope he's amused you with these tricks here." "Now buy some candy." "Very good, huh?" "Let's buy some candy." "Well, he's got plenty more tricks yet, so come on, then, take some." "Here we are." "Come on." "Hey, that's good." "Come on, buy some." "Come on, man." "Buy some." "Very good." "Hey, what about you, sir?" "Huh?" "Come on." "Hey, why not buy some?" "Me buy?" "You buy." "Hey, do you want some?" "Huh?" "You got any money?" "No." "Right." "Doesn't matter." "Take some, huh?" "Just take it." "Plenty for everyone." "Here's some candy." "Come on." "Come on." "Hey, you haven't got much." "Oh, well, I only just got started." "How about that you come back later?" "In that case" "Listen, I just started." "I've no money yet, so come later." "Ha!" "You ordering us?" "I'll show you." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Here, let me help you." "Here." "Come on." "Hey, let's go." "Come on." "Hey, boss, here's mine." " Here's mine." " Here you are." "Did quite well today." "Where's the rest of the candy?" "Have some drinks, fellas." "Go ahead." "Let's sit down." "Waiter?" "Coming UP"" "We ought to take his money first, huh?" "Let's get moving." "Come on." "Chief ought to be happy with us, huh?" "We got quite a lot today, eh?" "Pull me up!" "Help me!" "Pull me up!" "Pull me up!" "Aah!" "What are you doing?" "Help!" "Help!" "Hey, watch out." "Where does that street performer live, huh?" "Performer?" " Yeah." "Oh, on the boat there." "Thanks." "Mr. Chan." "Mr. Chan, hi." "Hi." "Well, you come to see the show?" "There's no show tonight." "No." "Brought some food and wine." "Ahh..." "Here." "It's good wine." "Try it." "What you doing?" "It's good wine, this here." "Get out." "I didn't know you don't drink." "Have some food." "Not your hands." "They're filthy." "Use this." "Tell me, what's your name?" "Monkey." "Monkey?" "Yeah." "Don't know my real name." "I'm just called monkey, that's all." "Well, you do act like one." "Sit." "Right." "Listen, sorry I was rude, but seeing wine" "Ah, you don't drink then." "Right." "Hey, the food's good." "Of course." "I got it specially to give to you." "Must have cost a lot." "Ah, so what?" "I got it from that collector." "Took it." "You stole it then?" "Sure, I stole it." "After all, if you're not strong, you have to steal." "This world is hard and cruel as well, and nobody ever gets a chance here." "Hey, Mr. Chan, why don't you eat your food?" "Right." "Hey, and you, too." "Listen, street performers, they always drink." "Why don't you?" "Mr. Chan." "Oh, sorry." "It's the food." "Too rich." "I eat too fast." "Sit, sit." "Hey, go on." "Mr. Chan, you have this piece." "Oh, thanks." "Did you hurt your hand, then?" "Uh... sort of." "It was long ago." "Monkey bite you?" "No." "A rat then?" "Was it a snake?" "A woman maybe." "Mr. Chan!" "Mr. Chan!" "What's wrong?" "Mr. Chan." "Are you having a fit?" "No." "Oh." "Then you've caught your monkey's habits." "Because monkeys, when they mate, act like that." "Mr. Chan, how was that?" "That's very good." "Listen, I'm sorry." "No offense?" "Hey, eat." "We did pretty well today, huh?" "Hey, baldy, this leaf here it's so nice and cool." "You can use it as a fan." "Wave it, wave it, wave it." "Oh, also, you can use it as a hat, 'cause it'll make your hair grow all nice and curly." "It's really good." "I think that it's about time you had this." "How do you like that?" "Oh, five." "I got five." "It's more like ten." "Oh, none." "Oh--aah!" "Five again." "Bastard." "He'd better watch out." "Monkey got caught." "So what?" "Doesn't happen very often." "You better watch it or you'll get hurt." "Listen, I got no food." "I'm sorry." "It's all right, but if you keep stealing, you'll wind up dead." "If I don't steal, I'll starve to death." "I don't starve, and I don't steal." "You're different." "You've got a monkey show." "But I haven't, so I must steal." "At least you stole from the right people." "It's late." "Get some sleep." "Right." "Sleep with Ahmo." "Hey, listen, that sings real well, you know." "Yes, very well." "But mine, no way." "Not a peep." "Boss?" "Hi." "Monkey, what do you want?" "Oh, nothing." "Just that I've reformed now." "I thought that maybe you could take me on here, to work here, huh?" "Huh?" "You want a job here?" "That's very nice, but what do you think you could do?" "You've no training." "Huh?" "I'd stop your customers from cheating, for starters." "No!" "No!" "You paid nothing!" "I'll pay you." "I promise you." "I promise you." "You're holding out on us, eh?" "I know your kind." "No, I" "No!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "No!" "No!" "Hey!" "Damn you!" "You wanna fight?" "Get him!" "Hey, you all right?" "Come!" "Looks bad." "Let's go." "Might get hurt." "All right, let's go." "Come on!" "Waiter, the check." "Coming!" "We'll call the elders and see what is what." "We throw the bowls in the water." "Then the waiter won't know how many bowls we had, you see?" "Hey, friend, don't wash up here." "The water's dirty." "It's all full of germs." "What the hell are you-- You-you" "What?" "Ah, now let's see what you've had here, huh?" "Here you are." "Four more here from table three." "Accidentally dropped in." "Ah, including those, $4.00 altogether." "Monkey, very good." "Of course." "Listen, why isn't Chan here?" "Ah, too bad." "Those bastards, they came and killed his monkey for no reason." "They're bastards." "They really are." "Mr. Chan?" "Mr. Chan?" "Mr. Chan?" "Well, got caught, huh?" "Ahmo, you rest in heaven, and the men who killed you, we'll get 'em." "Mr. Chan, don't grieve." "No use." "Tomorrow we'll get another." "Yeah." "And if we can't, I'll play the part." "Monkey!" " Are you hurt?" " No." "I got a pretty tough ass." "Mr. Chan, don't you worry now." "I'll get revenge." "Monkey, do nothing stupid." "You provoke 'em, and they'll kill you for sure." "Don't worry." "I'll fight them, but not openly." "I mean, I do know a few tricks." "Don't try." "You don't stand a chance." "Huh?" "Why says so?" "I'll use a line to catch 'em." "Then I'll play 'em a little, like fish or crabs." "They're worms in a manure pit, hiding in their own dirt." "But once they come out, they can be handled." "You're crazy." "Hey, listen, I got $2.00." " Oh, you stole it." " Hey, who said so?" "I earned it myself today." "Earned it?" "That's what I said." "By the sweat of my brow." "I'm glad to hear that." "Oh, come on." "Let's eat." "All right." "We forgot to bury Ahmo." "Ahmo, you died before your time, but you've left this wicked world now so may your soul rest in peace." "Mr. Chan, you want to say something?" "Mmm." "Ahmo!" "Mr. Chan." "Monkey, it's you." "Just for a minute," "I thought it was Ahmo." "Well, you have to admit I act like Ahmo." "Hey, you" "I watched him." "Studied his actions." "Watch." "Ahmo somersaults." "Ahmo scratches." "Ahmo sits." "Also..." "Ahmo jumps." "Wouldn't work." "It wouldn't?" "Why not?" "Because a monkey has hair." "Hair?" "Right." "All right." "Now then, folks, this is no savage beast, nor is it a legendary animal." "What do you think it is?" "That's right." "It is a monkey." "Played by a man, though." "You watch him, huh?" "He's good." "He can act just like a monkey." "He can also jump." "All right." "And he can play with a pole." "Also, he can sell candy." "I want some candy." "Thank you." "That guy's doing real well." "He's new here." "Come on!" "Get out!" "Go on!" "Out of the way!" "Come on, move!" "Hey, well, now." "You again, huh?" "Hello." "Doing real well." "Oh, all right." "Hey!" "Damn you!" "You leave us alone!" "So you're playing monkey now, huh?" "I must say, it really suits you." "Hey, we're just trying to make a living." "That so?" "Then pay us, huh?" "One dollar?" "Ha!" "Come on, there's two of you." "You pay two dollars." "Aah!" "Should be only one dollar for every pitch." "Listen, with you here, I charge more!" "You hear?" "Ha!" "Don't fight!" "Don't fight." "You know, he's really good." "Use the knives!" "Go on!" "All right." "All right, I'll pay." "It's two dollars." "Mr. Chan" "Well, all right, then." "Pay us." "Hurry." "Go on." "He's got none." "All right." "Well." "Uh, that's" "I see." "So you've been holding out on us, huh?" "Right." "Get it." "That's it." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Look, Monkey, I've been doing this for five years." "I'm used to it." "It doesn't bother me." "Well, why should you pay bribes?" "Now, look, some men have to pay bribes from birth." "When they study, they pay bribes, and when they want a job, they still pay bribes." "Well, that's not right." "Aah!" "Those bastards." "We have to work hard just to pay them." "No way." "I'll get it back." " Stay here." " Why?" "If you mess with them, they'll take your hide out." "I don't care." "I'm going." "Don't be so stupid." "You wouldn't stand a chance." "I'll try." "You'll stay here." "Oh, the real thing." "Real what?" "You can fight." "Says who?" "Those guys we fought today." "Nonsense." "It's not." "In fact, I should have learned." "You could have been teaching me kung fu." "Instead, all I've learned these weeks is monkey act." "Now, look, we have to make a living." "Maybe, but still, nobody beats me." "Now, listen, kid." "Stick to monkey tricks... and live." "You got that?" "I'm quitting." "That's mine." "That's enough." "Let's get back." "Paid in full." "Oh, yes." "I'm coming." "Hold it." "You've gone too far now." "I've had enough." "This is it." "Ah, so it's you again, huh?" "What do you want?" "Listen!" "From now on you can call me not Monkey, but Monkey King." "All right?" "You got that, then?" "No, I haven't." "Do you?" "Don't think I heard him right there." "I think he's gone nuts." "Monkey, don't make trouble." "Now, look, until we're rid of them, this place will have no peace." "Hold it!" "I'm not dealing with you." "Fetch your boss here." "Do you mean Mr. Chai, then?" "That's right." "I think you're in for a real hard time." "That's crossroads." "Four horse gallop." "Timely stop." "A middle hit." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Circle style." "I must break out." "Get him!" "The monkey raises his hand." "Hold it!" "It's me!" "Hold it!" "Ah-choo!" "Ah-choo!" "Please stop it." "Hold it!" "I'll kill him!" "I have to stop this." "Now, please, sir." "Don't hit him or you'll kill him." "He's just a bit simple and soft in the head, but he doesn't mean any harm." "Please, sir, please." "Take these, all right?" "Well, all right." "Just this once." "God damn them!" "I'll show them!" "Monkey, you'll live." "I don't want to." "I'd rather die fighting." "It's easier." "I'll go back." "I never taught you." "I was afraid... you'd get killed." "I don't care if I die, 'cause life's not worth living." " Learning kung fu is tough." " So what?" "Well, I think that you'd give up." "Sooner die first." "You know the first rule?" "Bow to you, master." "This is no place to learn." "Where, then?" "The mountains." "Aah!" "Ten fingers." "All must be strong, 'cause monkey boxing needs strength." "Need strong fingers and wrists." "Aah!" "Come on." "Again." "Teacher, turn me loose." "It hurts." "I can't move." "You can still hold things." "You'll soon learn." "You'll see." "Oh, come on, then." "What's the problem?" "I can't move now." "You'll learn." "From now on, you'll stay like that until I say otherwise." "They mustn't touch the ground." "Lift both hands." "Turn around." "Now jump like a monkey." "Jump." "Right." "Teacher, potatoes." " Put 'em down." " Right." "Sit down." "Use your hands." "Okay." "Aah!" "A monkey must be fast." "But I'm tied up." "I can hardly move." "You know that." "Then go hungry." "Well..." "Again?" "Monkey, this chicken here, it ought to taste good." "Sure." "Want to try some?" "No, thanks." "Hmm?" "Not hungry?" "Sure, but I'm just too slow, so I'll eat potato." "You're very humble tonight." "I have to be, though." "Usually I can only grab two of them, but one day, I'll get more." "Well, try." "Huh?" "Teacher, you're right." "Tastes great." "You have to move fast in this world." " Bad." " You're smart." "Teacher, these ropes." "They for clothes?" "Not for clothes." "For you." "Huh?" "For me?" "Well, what are they for?" "Your hands are fast." "You're learning well." "But your arms are too weak." "Maybe." "What's that have to do with ropes?" "Well, the monkey's arms are strong because he's always swinging from trees." "Sure, sure." "So as from tonight, sleep on the ropes." "Huh?" "Sleep on the ropes?" "Right." "I might fall off, though." "Come on." "Right." "You hold on, and you won't fall." "So get UP-." "You'll soon get used to it." "Go on." "Well, all right." "Come on." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Why'd you let go?" "You tickled my arm." "That's why." "I had to." "And what happens when a monkey's tickled by a branch?" "Does he fall?" "No." "Get up." "Come on, keep going." "Go on." "Fingers and wrists and arms all getting stronger." "Teacher, well, how am I doing?" "I'll tell you this." "You've lots to learn." "What?" "Lots to learn?" "There can't be." "Teacher, well, huh?" "Ow." "That's not too good." "Course not." "What do you expect when you push me?" "You're supposed to fall like a monkey." "Well, how's that?" "A monkey somersault, that's how." "Oh." "Go on." "Teacher, how am I doing now?" "I'm doing well, huh?" "Well, I've mastered fingers, wrists, and arms, and waist, somersaults, swinging from trees." "Just about everything, don't you think?" "No, I don't." "What?" "Don't believe me?" "Come and fight me." "Teacher, fighting with you is pointless." "That's not what I want." "You want to fight those guys down in the town?" "Sure." "So you mean, then, you'll go now." "That's what I want." "When do you want to go?" "Go tonight." "I mean, sooner I go, better for the town." "I'll go at sundown." "All right." "Monkey." "Teacher, please instruct me." "Monkey, if you insist on going down, then I won't stop you." "But remember, in this world there's tough men." "Go on." "Teacher, I bow to you three times." "Once." "Twice." "Three times." "Teacher, now please take care." "Wait." "Teacher, changed your mind?" "I don't have much, but here's a little gift for you." "Huh?" "Teacher, just an old hat?" "Now, don't belittle it." "Just wear it." "You'll get to like it." "That's good." "Thanks, teacher." "He's mine." "Huh." "That's him." "There's that bastard we didn't kill." "Now it seems he's teaching kids." "You're all bastards." "Bastards!" "He's even taught 'em to curse us." "Are you not scared to die?" "I wouldn't mind, but still, the devil wouldn't want to take me." "Well, in that case, we'll help you." "Hold it." "Why are you pushing them in front?" "I mean, can't you fight yourself?" "Of course." "Still, that's their job." "Right." "Enough talk." "Go on." "Hey, wait." "Let's keep it fair." "Fight one to one." "You agree?" "Unless you're too scared." "Right." "Otah, fight." "Hey, now, wait." "Not in front of the kids." "Hey, go on." "Home you go." "Hey, he's good." "Well, now, that was simple." "Two this time, okay?" "Which side?" "This side or this side?" "I'll go this side." "Here." "And here's something for you, huh?" "Very nice." "Good for you." "Fl" "Ha!" "Two down." "The odds seem good." "We'll fix him." "Now that's better." "Three now." "Red, green, white." "Right!" "Wow!" "You're really tough." "Well, all the better." "Hold it." "No good at all." "You're going too slow." "Congratulations." "Very good." "Now I'll start in earnest." "Finger strength." "Hey, isn't it your turn, then?" "Huh?" "Hey, it's our turn." "Who goes first?" " You." " Me?" "But I got the money." "You go." "Not me." "Hey, either one will do." "Hey, that's old fashioned." "No one wants to see that." "There, see?" "Now, isn't that better, then?" "That's my hat!" "Hey, that's my pipe." "I like that." "Very good." "It's me!" "A kung fu man shouldn't smoke." "I need a saddle here." "Somersault." "This is yours." "Hey, does that taste good?" "My hat." "My hat!" "Hey, let me go." "Is that the snake, then?" "That's right." "The snake." "You're breaking my arm!" "So how much did you collect today?" " Oh, no." "Him." " Him?" "It wasn't me." "I don't care." "Give it all back." "Give it all back." "Give it back." "Take me to your boss, Mr. Chai." "We can't." "Aah!" "Come on." "Hey, why you all standing there?" "Get to work." "You're being paid." "Go on." "Go on, move!" "Go on!" "The last few days, business is good." "Not bad." "Of course, Master." "Since I've been running the place this year, we're doing very well, making nice fat profits, eh?" "Come on." "You know it's not that." "I mean, we have to thank all these ladies here." "Yes, of course." "Yes, of course." "You have to be joking." "These two like making jokes." "All right." "I've got a nice dinner ordered for us downstairs." "Let's go down, eh?" "Good." "Oh, Monkey!" "Hi there." "Hi there." "Pull him down!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Who's he?" "Well, now" "Listen, your men have been squeezing the traders." "If they don't pay, your men beat them." "That's why I'm here, to settle a few accounts with you." "Damn you!" "Hey, wait." "This guy seems quite sharp." "Who is he?" "He's just some" "I'll tell you." "I'm the Monkey King, that's who." "That your style?" "He's just a bum." "Acts like a monkey." "He just used to be a cheap thief, and then..." "and then some stranger taught him how to do these monkey tricks." "Well, in that case, then, he ought to be no problem." "Think so?" "Well, I mean business." "Oh?" "Ah-Chai, you fix him up and we'll watch, huh?" "Right." "Won't take very long." "Hey, accidents cost lives." "Oh, I won't jump, then." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hey, I'm over here." "Skill snap." "Hold it." "Your patch has moved." "No, down there." "That's it." "Right." "There." "That look better." "Yeah." "Okay." "Hey, he's there." "Hey, over here!" "Hey, Chai, just watch this." "OW!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "OW!" "Hey, let go." "Come on." "Leading the ox, huh?" "Help me." "It's me!" "Turn around!" "Good." "Good." "You aren't bad." "Stand back." "You fight quite well." "Well, Chai, you say you're an expert." "That style that I'm using, is it real monkey?" "You style looks like monkey, but it's not." "What?" "Who's he?" "Well, he's my boss." "You're not the boss?" "I'm number two." "Oh." "So he's the boss." "Well, Chai, you were playing the boss." "While you were gone, I sort of took over." "Well, now, seems you don't know this style." "It's the real thing." "Oh, monkey." "I know that." "Tell me, who is your teacher?" "Aha!" "That's my secret." "I'm sorry." "Won't tell you." "Sure, sure." "It's time to eat." "Serve the food." " Right." " Right." "Ah-Chai, let's eat." "Sure." "We can eat right away." "Dinner?" "Hey, do you know what my favorite food is?" "I know." "A Manchu feast." "You do know monkey." "Huh." "This'll be tough." " Sister, let's go down." " Right." "You know what?" "The boss's kung fu has got even better." "Listen, his fighting style reminds me of someone else." "My brother?" "No way." "Ah-Chai, fetch some wine and some food here." "I intend to lay out a special dish." "All right." "Right away." "Come on." "Come on." "Hey, no need." "I'm too full." "I'm not hungry." "You're not?" "Well, I am." "Wait, wait." "Get back." "Because I'm going to serve a very rare dish." "Hey." "I can't see it first." "That isn't right." "Master, I know." "It's live monkey brain." " Get ready." " Right." "Hey, that's not nice now, is it?" "Think not?" "It's a good winter dish, though." "Sit down." "Right." "Come on." "Let's sit down." "Sit." "Come on, sit." "Now, then, you have made a lot of trouble." "Now tell me, who's your teacher?" "What's his name?" "I may have lost, but I won't talk." "I won't disgrace my teacher." "I'd sooner die first." "Huh." "You bastard." "Clean the head." "It has to be sterilized." "Now, then, a little alcohol." "Next thing is to shave the hair off." "Then smash the skull, all right?" "Aah!" "Who's your teacher?" " Talk!" " Shan't." "Right." "Ah-Chai." "Now as slowly as you can, smash his skull." "God damn you." "Aah!" "Help me!" "Get him!" "After him!" "God damn you, county four." "I forgot the teacher's hat." "I'm certain that fellow is Chan's pupil." "You are useless." "You lost him." "I did?" "Now, listen, it's your fault." "You helped him." "Oh, yeah?" "You know that was just an accident." "Huh." "You like monkey boxers, you remember?" "What's that?" "You set Chan up that time." "You know that." "Oh, so you're blaming me now." "I paid you a good price that time." "Right." "I admit that you gave me this brothel, but still, you promised when you were through, you'd let me have the girl to work for me in the brothel here." "But still, you've not let me have her yet." "Well, have you?" "Why are you here?" "I had to get my teacher's hat back." "Who's your teacher?" "Name's Chan." "That's my brother!" "Huh?" "You sure of that?" "I'm sure." "I heard them talking then some years back." "They framed my brother with a trick." "To save his life, I gave myself to Duan." "Come here, Duan" "YOU!" "You bitch!" "So then, it was you who did it." "Helped him escape." "And now you fight me?" "You lousy swine." "Now I know how you tricked me that time." "I'll kill you!" "That's good!" "Get out!" "I won't!" "Master!" "Please stop fighting!" "Stop fight" "Stop that." "Please stop that." "Chai, she's helping that monkey fella." "Huh?" "Get him!" "Go on!" "You're still here?" "Get him!" "After him!" "After him!" "Hey." "Monkey?" "Teacher?" "Couldn't stay away, huh?" "You miss me?" "Huh?" "Sure." "Teacher, I..." "When you left, you were full of bounce then." "You're not now." "So what happened?" "Well--ow!" "Headache?" "No." "Hat too tight?" "No." "Then maybe you were hit on the head." "Yes, teacher." "And how come you let that happen?" "After all, you fight so well." "Well, I did." "I did great at first." "I used finger and wrist and arm-ow." "First of all, I beat up Ah-Chai and his gang of thugs, too." "Really smashed 'em." "But then the big boss came in." "He said I couldn't fight." "I got mad and I went for him." "Used everything." "Somersault." "No good." "So he beat you?" "Yeah." "Well, that's a crummy bandage." "Why didn't you use my hat then to cover it?" "Your hat?" "Teacher, met your sister." "My sister?" "Sure." "Tonight." "Where?" "In a brothel." "You couldn't have." "Teacher, she doesn't work there." "She's the boss's girl." "Is his name Duan?" "That's the bastard." "Hey, teacher, she said" "Said what?" "She said Duan framed you for something once." "God damn it!" "Sure, she helped me." "Helped fight that swine." "Still couldn't match him." " Teacher, where you going?" " Find him." " You mustn't." " Why not?" "That guy Duan is clever." "Besides that..." "My hands." "Damn!" "Don't you worry." "If your sister's his concubine," "I think he's not going to hurt her." "Besides, it's no good." "You can't use your monkey style, and you wouldn't have a chance there." " Now, look." " Yeah?" "You know that your kung fu" "It's no good." " What then?" " More practice." "The next thing you must master will be the four moves." "Right." "Again." "Teacher." "Teacher." "Mister, any special girl?" " Yeah." " Who?" " You're ma." " My ma?" "Ah, please." "We have Sou-ying, Sou-win, Sou-choc, Sou-Wong, Sou-chai." "Sou-choc is a very pretty girl as well." "A bit fat." "A lot of fellas like that." "Don't be shy." "Choose." "Want you." "Want me." "Oh." "I see." "You're a pervert." "Ow!" "Don't do that." "You want a man, eh?" "Of course." "All the men here." "Ah." "You want them all?" "That's right, and your boss." "Hey!" "Well, my boss isn't like that." "Besides, you wouldn't like him." "But still, if that's just what you want then, then don't you worry." "I'm quite sure that we can satisfy you here." "Ah-fau!" "Yes, sir?" "Oh?" "One's not enough." "Bring me some more." "We Will." " Fix him up." " I will..." "Ooh!" "You finished, sir?" "I told you I want them all." "I'll get two more." " Ah-sing, Ah-hoi!" " Huh?" "Yeah?" "Go on, then, huh?" "Oh, okay." "What's wrong?" "Ah, don't you fellas have any stamina, then?" "I thought you were supposed to be tough." "Hey, you're something else." "Of course I am." "Four more men." " Right." " Coming." "What is it?" "This fella likes men." "Fix him up, eh?" "Hey, it's all business." "All money." "Hey, what are you fellas doing there?" "What's wrong with you, then, eh?" "Huh?" "Hey!" "Hey, don't I know you?" "What are you pulling here, huh?" "Oh." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What does this say?" "Monkey." "Well... aah!" "It's Little Monkey." "Follow the plan." "Guarded by four posts, taken down by four ropes, the net will seal him in." "Alert the boss!" "Where are my monkey guards?" "Hey, where are you?" "Bring all you want, but clear the place first." "Those not involved, you better get out, or you'll get hurt." "Go on." "Go on." "Hey, don't go!" "Don't go!" "Don't go!" "You drove them all out, damn you." "Mr. Chai, I'm helping you to reform, because we fighting men, we must..." "We must clean the town up, starting here." "Then we move on to the rest of the town." "After today, there won't be any more brothels." "You got that?" "That's it." "Hey, who sent you?" "My teacher?" "That's right." "And so your teacher sent you to preach here, huh?" "Everything ready?" "Well, then, is everybody here now?" "All here." "Well, now, in any fighting, the lineup's important." "That so?" "Is that a fact, eh?" "Well, you'll soon see." "Get him!" "Are you testing me out?" "How long have you been learning?" "Five months?" "No way." "I'd say three months at most." "Kill him." "Use swords." "Hey, you." "Kill him!" "Hold it there." "Now, wait." "Ah-Chai, where is he, then?" "We've got him." "He's in there." "Where is he?" "Come on now." "He's in there somewhere." "Where is he then?" "Where is he?" "Well, the star himself is here." "Well, I must admit, your skill has much improved." "Oh, yeah." "Monkey stays monkey." "Well, then, I knew that you'd come back here again once you'd improved." "Right." "Now that I'm here, I have three objectives." "One, to remove a local evil." "Two, avenge my teacher." "Three, I'm going to take away that girl, Tsuei Hung." "Tsuei Hung?" "She was badly wounded." "Afraid that she's dead." "Monkey, even if you were the Monkey King, you couldn't escape." "Take his head!" "Well, get in there." " You got him!" " You got him!" "Your teacher, he couldn't beat me either." "Nor can you!" "It's not the end of the story." "My teacher will come and help me." "Take him out." "Don't mess up the floor." "Right!" "Come on, you." "Teacher's here." "Teacher!" "Ah, Mr. Chan." "Well, now, how have you been?" "Fine." "Madam." "Mr. Chan, even though your hands have been crippled, your young student is quite brilliant." "Enough talk." "Where's my sister?" "Teacher, they've killed her." "Wait!" "Don't be scared." "His hands are crippled." "Teacher, why weren't you earlier?" "I'd be in the net, too, if I were." "Oh, right." "Hold it!" "Huh." "Good as ever." "Don't forget that your hands are crippled." "But I'm not." "Well, come on!" "Go on!" "Go on!" "Oh, my hands!" "My hands!" "Hey. let's go, eh?" "Let's get out of here!" "Well, now." "Hey, have I improved much?" "He's gotten worse." "Well, now, the moral of the story is all martial artists should always be upright and avoid the lusts of the flesh, and practice more to keep healthy." "Got that?" "It hurts?" "Well, that's just what you deserve." "An eye for an eye." "Teacher, that right?" "Mmm." "Now, then," "I'll avenge the girl." "Hey, Monkey!" "No!" "No!"
