(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "You okay, dude?" "Get out!" "Get out." "I don't teach gweilo." "How did you know that we were gweilo?" "Same way that I can tell you are 30 years old."

"Your temper brings dishonor to my Happy Mu Shu Palace." "You'll be sorry, Wong!" "And teaching gweilo is forbidden." "You know that!" "I'll tell the elders." "You will have to face the Dragon." "Let me tell you what you can tell the Dragon." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "(SCREAMING)" "(THUDDING)" "Now, gweilo, we begin." "Ping-Pong is not the Macarena." "It takes patience."

"(LAUGHING)" "But you keep coming back for more and more." "Why?" "Because she is the only prostitute I can afford." "(SIGHS RUEFULLY)" "Gweilo, give me your paddle." "Here."

"That is my lucky cricket." "Oh." "Well, he just..." "He flew out of my hand, man." "You squished him?" "No." "You squished lucky cricket?" "No." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "Thanks a lot, kid!" "So, Maggie, what do you do when you're not here?" "So sorry, don't speak English." "But didn't I hear you speak English on the phone yesterday?" "No, you must be mistaken, because I don't speak any English." "I'm just trying to get better acquainted." "I know what you're trying to get, table jockey." "For as long as I can remember, guys have been in here with their hands all over me, with your stupid come-ons." ""Give me a hand with my balls, Maggie."" "Let me guess." "You're not around girls much or you probably wouldn't play Ping-Pong, right?" "Yeah, well, I thought that your dad played Ping-Pong." "Do not compare yourself to my father." "My father was a great man." "I'm not." "It's just a game." "It's not just a game!" "It is a proud tradition my family have devoted their lives to!" "You treat that tradition like a joke." "Uncle says you have no honor." "I say you have no shot." "So turn off the charm, table jockey." "(MOANING)" "Oh, God." "WONG:" "You need to build wrist strength." "Eye-hand coordination."

"(GASPING)" "Want to pop off a couple of rounds?" "Always makes me feel better." "Listen to me." "Are you a real, fully-licensed FBI guy?" "I'm serious, man." "I mean, why..." "You know, why would a real FBI guy take on a mission like this?" "Nobody else would be caught dead on Operation Ping-Pong." "All right, they don't expect us to catch Feng." "They got 20 agents working other angles, man." "I'm the backup plan." "Look, I joined the company for action, man." "You know, car chases, hang-gliding, James Bond stuff." "Drinking martinis, saving girls from danger." "I haven't gotten to wear a tuxedo since my goddaughter Martha's quinceañera, man." "For the last five years, I've been at a desk, typing." "I'm up to 70 words a minute." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello." "Maggie, is that you?" "Slow down." "Slow down in English." "(ALARM RINGING)" "What happened?" ""Teaching outsiders is forbidden."" "We've defied the elders, now they're shutting us down." "They have forbidden me to teach in Chinatown, forever." "Well, don't worry." "The FBI's gonna find out who did this." "We know who did it." "It is written right there." "No, no, no, no." "No FBI." "We will settle this in our own way." "Gweilo, only you can restore our honor." "You must go to the elders." "You must face the Dragon." "Okay, well, time out." "We don't have time for some ancient Chinese pissing contest." "Feng's match is coming up." "And if we want Feng's scouts to see Randy win some trophies, we got to get him out to some tournaments." "Foolish secret agent man." "Real Ping-Pong is not played for trophies." "It is played in the shadows, in dark alleys and backrooms for hard cash and cheap, ugly women." "If gweilo beats the Dragon, it will reach Feng's ears," "I assure you." "We're here." "The lair of the Dragon." "From here we go alone." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "Good luck, kid." "Thanks, man." "Randy, wait." "Yeah?" "I want you to have this." "It belonged to my father." "Whoa." "Maggie, I can't take this." "He'd have wanted you to have it." "Take it, you are ready." "It has defeated many enemies." "Good luck, Randy." "Thanks." "Come, gweilo." "The Dragon is the most feared table tennis player in all Chinatown." "Welcome to the underbelly of Ping-Pong." "Where fortunes are won and lost." "I'm exaggerating, of course, but you get my point." "People bet on Ping-Pong here." "So you think you're good, huh, gweilo?" "Well, put money where mouth is." "$4." "No pay, no play." "Got change for $5?" "That's all I got." "This guy doesn't seem so tough to me." "That is not the Dragon." "That is the Dragon." "Gweilo, remember, you suck when you are nervous." "Thanks, Master." "First player to lead by 3, wins." "Gweilo loses," "Wong and his descendants are banished from Chinatown forever." "And by extension, all of Orange County." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "Dragon says, "This serve, no can defend."" "No one has hit it back in five years of table tennis." "She say, "No fair." "She wasn't ready."" "She say, "That wasn't real no can defend serve." ""This next one, this, no can defend."" ""So watch out."" "She say," ""Maybe we need to take a break." "Get some fresh air." "Cool off."" "(PADDLE DROPS)" "Yes!" "I said, "Yes!"" "That is right!" "Am I right?" "Just say, "Yes."" "Fine!" "Oh, jeez." "Come on, little kid." "Don't be so hard on yourself, you know." "You got mad skills." "I warn you guys, I know tai chi." "(GRUNTING)" "Here's your money." "(BLOWING NOSE)" "Unfortunately, it's covered in snot." "I knew you could do it, man!" "He won, right?" "What the hell?" "Mr. Daytona." "Your balls have been tempered in the fury of hell's Dragon." "Wow!" "My master, Mr. Feng, would be honored to have you at his tournament." "Which way is the freeway?" "I seem to have gotten turned around." "Oh, yeah." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "I knew that." "Yeah." "Mr. Daytona, we'll see you at the tournament." "What?" "What am I missing?" "Oh, we got the golden paddle." "As you can see, the paddle contains a riddle in Chinese." "(READING IN CHINESE)" ""On the longest day, two hands reach towards heaven." ""We enter the clouds."" "Of course." "When both hands reach up on what?" "A clock." "That's noon." "Longest day." "Wednesday, nine letters." "We enter the clouds, that's got to be an airfield." "Yeah, but which airfield?" "There are a dozen in Orange County alone." "John Wayne Airport, maybe." "They got a private hangar there owned by a Japanese corporation goes by the name of Haiku Cargo." "Check this out." "On the longest day." "Yeah." "It's 5-7-5." "That's a haiku." "That's impressive." "Yeah." "It's on the back of the paddle here in English." "Noon, Wednesday, John Wayne Airport." "Each player can bring a coach, a doctor, two carry-ons." "Goose, run them through the hardware they'll need." "I have stripped everything down for you." "This is your homing device, this is the transmitter." "So you just plant it, flip the switch and backup's on its way." "Don't screw this up, Rodriguez." "Do not signal unless you have proof of what Feng is up to." "We don't want theories." "We want him caught red-handed, with hard evidence, so we can put him away for good." "Yes, sir." "So let me guess, fellows." "We're gonna stick this in the heel of our shoe, put it in a tube of toothpaste, something like that?" "I think we'll have to sneak this in the old-fashioned way." "What's the old-fashioned way?" "(GRUNTING)" "God, slow down." "We should go alone from here." "Good luck, secret agent man." "Take care of Uncle, okay?" "Uncle can take care of himself." "Oh, man." "What's the stick for, man?" "Come on." "(EXCLAIMS IN PAIN)" "Okay." "Never hug a man with a million bucks worth of hardware up his crack." "Sorry." "It's okay." "Go ahead and kiss her already!" "So embarrass..." "Come back, gweilo." "Bye." "(GROANING)" "Nice plane." "Team Daytona." "This way, gentlemen." "Oh, you got to be kidding me." "Where we going, Tijuana?" "(BUS HONKING)" "(GONGING)" "It is with great honor that I present your host." "The man who sold the Dragon his fire, stole it back, and sold it again to the Crips." "Give it up for Master Feng."

"I have to be a smidge off the beaten track here." "Now, Ping-Pong, or, as the Chinese say," ""Ping-Pong,"" "sport of emperors and bandits alike." "I have assembled today, for your entertainment pleasure, the most talented table tennis athletes from around the globe." "Legends, every one." "We have last year's North American champion and holder of the Canadian cup," "Mr. Freddy "Fingers" Wilson." "Represent." "Four-time Australian champion, Mr. Wedge McDonald!" "Cutie." "From Japan, Mr. Yukito Nagasaki!" "My personal odds-on favorite from the '88 games, possibly the greatest player ever to emerge from the West." "He came out of retirement to be here, and it's an honor to have him." "He's back and he's bad, the one and only Karl Wolfschtagg!" "Yeah!" "So, we meet again." "The years have not been kind to you." "I will not be either." "We have champions from every continent so, please, everyone, wear a nametag." "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "And now, eat, drink, enjoy." "My goodness!" "What a blast from the past!" "If it isn't my old master." "Wong." "You old horn dog." "How's tricks?" "I've waited many years to meet you again, face to face." "Oh, thank you." "Tell me, Randy, does he still dress as if he shops at Elton John's garage sale?" "So, Randy Daytona." "The golden boy who couldn't even bronze." "You're Wong's new protégé." "Well, FYI," "Wong always said I was his greatest pupil." "I said you could have been great, but you never finished your training." "As I recall, you kicked me out." "But you did teach me one thing, Master." "Promptness." "And you were 15 minutes late to the banquet." "Soup got cold." "Oh, Feng!" "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "Don't let it happen again." "Gentlemen." "Athletes." "I bid you toodles." "(PLAYING MUSIC)" "May I invite you to select from one of Mr. Feng's courtesans of pleasure." "Like sex slaves?" "No." "No, I couldn't do that." "No, I couldn't."

"Well, I mean, I don't want to be rude." "(GONGING)" "What's up?" "These are..." "These are all..." "These guys, these are dudes." "They are fully prepared to satisfy each and every one of your desires." "Well, my desires are pretty much all satisfied up, right now." "So, I'm good." "You must choose one."

"They were supposed to be here by now." "Look, don't worry, Randy." "I got a plan B." "You got a plan B?" "Trust me." "Meet me in the john in two minutes." "Welcome to Feng's bathroom." "Hey." "May I interest you in an Altoid or some Axe Body Spray?" "Hey, these shoes look like they need a shine?" "Hi." "Hi." "Daytona." "I have said some cruel things about you to my friends here at the tournament." "I told them that the reason that you hate me so much is because I had sex with your mother." "My mother died when I was two." "I hardly knew her." "Yeah, I know." "It's a horrible thing to say." "And yet these things that I say, over and over again," "I do not mean them." "'Cause, in truth, you are the greatest player I have ever seen." "Other than myself." "Practicing in front of a mirror." "Which I do." "Every day." "In the nude." "I'm sorry for you that your papa is not here to see you." "I think he would be very proud of you." "Yeah." "So proud of you that he would probably bet some money on you again." "I could use the cash." "Ha-ha." "Tell your dead parents I said, "What's up?"" "(LAUGHING)" "We're staying." "Win or lose, I got to play him." "I can't keep running away from that German fruit salad." "Now I am proud." "It is better to die like a tiger than to live like a pussy." "I'm gonna go tell Rodriguez." "Rodriguez?" "Rodriguez?" "Open!" "Eat it!" "Eat it!" "(MOANING IN PAIN)" "How was I supposed to know you were gonna change your mind?" "Silence." "What's done is done." "Let's hope it works." "I hate you guys." "Mr. Feng, there's been an accident." "Oh, no!" "What have you..." "I broke it." "Oh, my God!" "Did that hurt?" "Yes!" "Oh, dear." "I have no choice." "I have to disqualify you." "I suppose Karl is our champion." "Oh yeah!" "Oh yeah!" "This is far from over, Daytona!" "AUDIENCE:" "You suck!" "Hey!" "Hey, come on." "That stings." "Who said that?" "Well, poop." "Randy, I was serious about my offer, okay?" "And e-mail me when you make up your mind." "I can't tell you how disappointed I am." "(YELLING IN CHINESE)" "I'm afraid your reputation has preceded you, Agent Rodriguez." "Are you still waiting for your backup?" "Bad guys have homing beacons, too."

"Oops." "Clumsy, clumsy hippos." "You should be more careful with your racquet." "It's not like I get these shoes for free." "Oh, wait." "Yes, I do." "I do get them for free." "Time out." "Master, look." "It's your brother's paddle." "It's my winning paddle." "I mean, I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do now." "Gweilo!" "Have I taught you nothing?" "Game not in paddle." "Game in you." "You cannot change what is past." "You must play for this man." "Here, use this paddle." "It belongs to the greatest player I have ever known." "Thanks, Master."

"What do you want?" "I want rock 'n' roll" "Yes, I do" "Long live rock 'n' roll" "Oh, let's go, let's strike a light" "We're gonna blow like dynamite" "(GUN FIRING)" "There will be a slight change in today's program for the final match." "The part of Karl Wolfschtagg will be played by..." "Maggie!" "Randy." "Maggie!" "No, Randy, no." "You get to play her to the death." "I thought this would be much more interesting, huh?" "You bastard." "What?" "This is an outrage!" "This is an outrage!" "I demand retribution!" "I did not come all this way..." "Oh, great, blow dart, yeah?" "Super." "(CROWD CLAPPING)" "Master, you got to help me out." "You got to give me some advice, anything, please." "Sorry, gweilo, I'm out." ""Game not in paddle, game in you," is usually my big finish." "I missed you." "I missed you, too." "Hey." "Less talkie-talkie." "More Ping-Pong." "MAHOGANY:" "Three-point game to the death." "Maggie, come on." "I'm not gonna play you, Randy." "It would be an honor for me to give you my life." "MAHOGANY:" "One-zero." "Randy Daytona." "I don't know why you couldn't just say that you love me." "I..." "MAHOGANY:" "One-One." "That's not fair."

"I love you, Maggie." "Boring." "Kill them." "Kill them both." "We're missing Antiques Roadshow." "No." "Oh, crap!" "Get to cover!" "Come on!" "You want to play rough?" "Okay!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Stop it!" "Are you insane?" "These are not replicas!" "Well, some of them are, but they're limited edition replicas." "Backup's right outside, they just signaled." "I didn't sneak in two of these for nothing." "This is the FBI." "Oh, my God!" "What?" "Wait a minute, I forgot something, guys." "What?" "Come here, baby." "Wish me luck." "Good luck." "Get to the dock!" "He took my Uzi." "Get away from the door!" "Sweet." "Well, that was awesome of me." "Dude, I totally knew you'd rescue me!" "Okay!" "All right!" "Okay!" "All right!" "As a friend!" "As a friend, I rescued you." "Oh, right." "Yeah." "Right." "Follow me!" "This way." "Up the stairs!" "Oh, crap!" "(SCREAMING)" "So what?" "What?" "What are you gonna do?" "You gonna murder me like you murdered my father?" "You people sound like a broken record." ""You killed my so-and-so and you murdered what's- his-face."" ""I demand...." Blah-blah-blah."

"It's over, Feng." "The Ping-Pong table doesn't know that." "If we stop playing, it will kill us both." "You mean, you can't turn it off?" "God, that's so stupid!" "Randy." "Get to the boat!" "Okay, let's get out of here." "I'm gonna save the panda!" "The panda's dead!" "All right, FBI!" "You are all under arrest!" "FBI!" "FBI!" "(SPEAKING CHINESE)" "Oh, shit!" "That's my point, Feng." "But you missed the table!" "I changed the rules a little." "I should have told you." "The way I play, you could hit it off anything you want." "One bounce, it counts." "My bad." "Son of a bitch!" "Guys!" "This guy looks really tough." "You take him." "ELECTRONIC VOICE:" "Two minutes to detonation." "You should've taken my offer." "I would've given you anything." "Anything in the world!"

"Hey, I wanted to thank you for everything that you've done for me." "So I got you a little something." "It's really not necessary." "But Master will accept." "What is it?" "Let me guess." "It's something small." "No, don't..." "Cufflinks?" "It's a ring." "I love jewelry." "I can't guess." "What is it?" "It's a new lucky cricket." "Oh." "Was." "I shall carry it with me always." "Yeah."
