"Shang Kuan Yi-yuan your Eagle Claw has destroyed all the Snake Fist schools killed 3,000 pupils." "There are hardly any left." "Well, now, our schools just cannot exist together." "So my Eagle Claw is dedicated to wiping out the whole Snake Fist style." "Well, I am the master of the Snake Fist School and I've come to fight." "As you know yourself your Snake Fist style cannot possibly hope to beat my Eagle's Claw." "For the sake of all my ancestors I have to fight you today." "And if I should die there are still others to carry on the Snake Fist!" "I'm aware there are two others Pai Chang Tien and your son, still alive today." "That's right." "And just as long as Pai is still alive the Snake Fist will live and rise again." "I'll kill you and Pai Chang Tien!" "Where is Pai Chang Tien?" "He's too smart for you." "You won't find him." "Pai Chang Tien." "Damn it, mosquitoes you'd better go away." "Warned you." "There he is." "He owes a month's rent." "You'll get your rent." "Don't worry." "Well, we're going to search you." "Take the money." "Hey, wait, wait." " Come on!" " I don't believe you!" "Check him out." "Don't." "It tickles." " Nothing!" " Again." "Search the baskets." "Wait." "Don't do that." "Snake!" "Get it off me!" "Hey!" "Look out!" "Stop him!" " Watch it!" " Still trying to run?" "Careful now!" "Quite useless." "Don't break my rice bowl." "Like the taste?" "Got it!" "Oh, my teeth!" "Strike him!" "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Four!" "You're going to have a pretty ugly bruise." "A stab and a punch!" "A stab and a punch!" "Hey, what's this?" "You want to kill me?" "I've got to go." "After him!" "I'm sorry." "Hey, come here!" "What's wrong?" "That old man, he attacked us!" "And he's got a snake!" "Snake?" "You're slacking again?" "I wasn't slacking." "Really!" "Pour water on me, would you?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Here, let me wipe it up." "Goddamn you!" " Please, don't!" " I'll fix you." "Okay, I'll give him something to do." "Clean it up." "Yes." "God, that hurt!" "Well, maybe that will teach you." "Lazy swine." "Master's away so Teacher Li and I are in charge." "Today, I am going to teach you the Dragon Tiger Fist." "With this style you can beat 10 men by yourselves." "Ten eggs." "That's right." " But pay your fees first." " That's right." "Now, then, Teacher Li and I will teach you the two best styles." "Dragon!" "Tiger!" "Good, eh?" "Enough!" "Stop it!" "All right, what's so funny?" "Stop laughing!" "Shut up!" "Chien Fu!" "Chien Fu, you come here." "Coming." " What's so funny?" " All right, stop laughing." "Be quiet!" "All right." "Now, the most important things are speed and strength." " Right?" " Right." "And now I'm going to teach you the Golden Claw." "Ready?" "Now he's exposed his stomach." "I got him." "Did you see?" "Well, all right." "Now, the next style coming up, the Tiger." "Stretch your arm." "Not that one." "This one." "Exposed again." "You got to be more careful." " Good, eh?" " Good!" "Now, remember what you've just been taught and you'll become real experts." " Carry on." " All right, let's carry on!" "Chien Fu you've been the punching bag again?" "Would you like some medicine?" "No need!" "I think I'll have a little rest here." "My boy wants to learn kung fu." " Magistrate?" " Thank you." "Magistrate, you own so much, half of the town." "Rice shops, tea shops, coffin shops." "Over 20 places." "And your son, he's such a well-built boy now." "Just like a pig." "Oh, no, he's like a young bull, isn't he?" "But if he doesn't train his muscles, he'll lose strength." "That's bad for his health." "But we'll fix that." "That's right." "Teacher Zhu, you're quite right." "That's the reason I would like my boy to join the school and learn kung fu." "Magistrate, you're at the right place." "This is a small place." "But there are lots of schools." "Most of them, no good." "But our Hungwei School is the best here." " There's no doubt about that." " Really?" "You're sure of that?" "My boy, you're not sure?" "Look there." "Teacher Zhu, I've seen guys smashing through bricks." "Fantastic." "Can your men do that?" "That's very simple for us." "Mr. Liang!" "Show the young master how you break bricks." "Right." "The bricks." "Liang is a very fine teacher." "Your son will do well with him." "Wait!" "Hold it." "Can you do that?" "Sure." "No sweat." "No sweat." "Oh, that's great!" "That's great!" " Isn't he terrific?" " He's very good." "You're too kind." "He's not that good." "Just practice." "I have one man, county champion." "Much better." " Gosh, he must be good." " He sure is." "Listen, you like this place?" "Oh, yeah, Father." "I want to go to this school." "Right." "I'll bring him back tomorrow then." " Good." " I must go now." "Please wait." "Mr. Liang!" "Come on out!" "The Magistrate is leaving!" "All right, so we'll see you tomorrow." "Good-bye." "See you again." "Mr. Liang, you were really great." "Thank you." "Just look at what those bricks did to his hands!" "Who wants to learn like that?" "Father, I think I'll study at the other school." "Let's go." "Hey, just a minute!" "Come on!" "Hold it!" "Wait a minute!" "Just hold up!" "Get inside." "Oh, so that's the reason I lost the business." "There's a lousy old beggar here, driving my luck away." "Kick him out!" " What's this?" " Get the hell out of here!" "What's wrong?" "Hold it!" "Why are you beating up this old man?" "Do you know this kid?" "Who is he?" "Him?" "He's from the Hungtai School." "Hungtai School?" "Beat him up!" "Are you all right?" "Good, eh?" "Ouch, my back!" "Please don't fight!" "Come on, don't fight!" "In the name of Jesus, don't fight!" "Please don't fight!" "Come on, quick." "Let's go." " Don't fight!" " Get him!" " Please stop fighting!" " What do you want?" "The Lord Jesus says if you're struck on your right cheek, you offer your left." "Is that so?" "Well, here's the first one!" "You hit me!" "Jesus, he's a sinner!" "Just around here." " Did you get hurt?" " No way." "I'm used to that." " You are?" " Sure." "This is the Hungtai School's back door." "Come on in and have some tea." "All right, come on." "This is the backyard of the school." "It's quiet." "Very few students come back here." "I live in that storeroom." "Hey, kitty?" "Old man, this cat's my pet." "He likes me." "Kitty, say hello." "See?" "He said hello then." "Hey, have a seat." "Old man, have some tea." "Oh, thank you." "Listen, don't want it?" "It's too hot." "I can't drink it." "Well, I'll get you some cooler tea." "Ah-wu, you're back." "Listen, this is Ah-wu." "He's our new cook." "He cooks really well." "I don't cook all that well." "And this is?" "He's a relative of mine." "Listen, I'm hungry." "There's some food in the kitchen." " Go and get it." " Right." "I have to serve the guests now." "Magistrate, although I don't like bragging I reckon I'm the greatest teacher who joined this school." "All my students can handle most other men." "I think that this must be the best school." "Are you sure?" "The Wei-wu School has sent many students to enter the championship contests." "And your school?" "That means nothing." "Their students may enter but our master has been invited there to be the chief judge." "If Master Hung is to be the judge, then his kung fu must be very good." "Of course." "He's the best." "How many bricks can he break?" "Break bricks?" "Oh, dear." "We don't teach those childish games here." "What we teach is the real kung fu." "Young master I think you were cut out to be a fighter." "You have a very good build." "If you study here very soon you'd be a real expert." "Do you really think so?" "Of course." "Go and call Chien Fu out here." "Right." "Tea?" "Tell me, what's your name?" "Me?" "I'm Chien Fu." " Were you born here?" " No." "I'm an orphan." "Master Hung took me in." "They say I'm a bit simple-minded." "I'm not too bright, so I do all the odd jobs." "What's your name?" "Me?" "Teacher Li wants you." "Listen, you just sit here." "I'll be back very soon." "All right?" "Don't go away." "Now, that young boy there, he's Banker Chin's son." "He's been studying here just a month now." "His kung fu is really advanced now." "Master Li." "Now, you see this big fellow here?" "He's really a strong boy." "Hey, listen, you and Chin give us a little demonstration." "And don't you resist." "Got that?" "Ready?" "Begin." "Please." "Amazing!" "Hey, cut that out, will you!" "Master Li will fix you!" "All right." "That's enough." "Chien Fu, go and take medicine for the pain." "One pill only." "Hey, Father, I like it!" "I'll study here!" "Chien Fu, what's wrong?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "It looks like you've been fighting." "I haven't been fighting, but..." "Old man, it's like this." "That young boy is the Hungtai School's walking punching bag." "Punching bag?" "That's right." "It isn't fair but that's how this new teacher Li treats him though." "Listen, do you think you can grab this bowl?" "Try it." "I don't think you can." "Come on." "Nice try." "Old man!" "Old man?" "Hi, kitty." ""Twist, roll, spin, turn."" ""Use both your arms and your legs to achieve agility."" ""Light as air, supple as a willow."" ""Be like the grass that bends with the wind."" "What does it mean?" ""Twist, roll, spin, turn."" ""Use both your arms..."" "Spin, roll, twist, turn." "The old man wants to teach me something." "I'll try it." "I beg you, have pity." "Spare something for a poor old beggar." "Pity." "Have pity." "Listen to the word of God." "Jesus will save you if you believe in him." "Spare something now for a poor old beggar." "Hey, just you get out of here." "I've no time for beggars." "Go on!" "Go on, get out!" "What a bitch." "I hope she drops dead." "Bring us luck." "You're a sinner." "You come to Jesus now, because he's the only true God." "You round-eyed devil." "You're calling me a sinner?" "Get out of here!" "But Jesus wants to protect you." "Protect me?" "You need protecting!" "From me!" "From me!" "Round-eyed devil!" "Get out of here!" "Thank you." "You're very kind." "Only Jesus can save you." "Believe in him for eternity." "Only Jesus can save you." "Open up!" "Open up!" "You're really early." "Lady, do you believe in God?" "Please let me redeem you and bring you great joy." "Joy?" "Oh, yes!" "You come here for joy." "Our girls can give you lots of that." "Come on in!" "Come in!" "Come on!" "Hey, girls, come on!" "A guest!" "Take him inside!" "Come on in!" "Welcome!" "Come on!" "Hello there?" "Well, now!" "You going?" "Aren't you looking for Chao Chi Chi?" "I'm not looking for anyone." "I just came here to beg." "So you're a beggar, huh?" "I'll give you something." "You're no beggar, Pai Chang Tien." "Ah-Kuei!" "Dad!" " Magistrate, how are you?" " Hello." " Have a seat." " Thank you." "And how is Ah-Kuei getting on here?" "Your son is a natural fighter." "He practices hard all day." "Good stomach, good legs good posture." "Hey, I'll tell you that young boy is going to be a real expert." "Is that so?" "Had a fight yet, my boy?" "No, I haven't." "So you want to fight." "That's easy to arrange." "Chien Fu, come over here!" "All right." "You practice with this boy." "Now, careful." "You know?" "Now, then, don't hit too hard." "Don't hurt him." "Begin." "Great!" "Well, Magistrate, see how well he fights, huh?" "Yes!" "Come on, come on!" "Come on!" "Let me hit you!" "Why should I?" "All right, you, now my Dragon Fist!" "I'll get you!" "Oh, God, that's done it!" "Now there'll be trouble!" "Are you all right, Magistrate?" "Damn you!" " How dare you make a fool of my son!" " No, sir." "Go to hell!" " Teacher, are you all right?" " Get your hands off of me!" "Son, let's go." "We'll enroll you at the Wu-hu School." "Magistrate!" "Magistrate!" "Give me a chance to explain!" "Well, now, that was really smart making me lose face like that." "Now, get out." "No food today!" "Old man!" "What's wrong?" "What's wrong?" "I fell into a trap." "Come on." "I'll take you back to town." "Chien Fu, no." "I must hide where no one can find me." "Old man." "Old man!" "Come on." "Drink this." " Hi, boss." " Hi, boss." "Chao Chi Chi lived here." "Have you any idea how long he's been gone?" "For a month." "Pai Chang Tien was wounded." "But nevertheless, he'll try to find Chao Chi Chi." "And I'm sure Chao left a message here for him." "Yes." "Painting's old, script is new." "The man you want will be waiting in the clouds." "Well, you're awake." "Feel better?" "I am much better." "I'll be all right." "That's good." "I mean, I was really worried." "I'll get the medicine." "Come on." "This is very good for you." "Chien Fu, I'm grateful to you." "That's all right." "After all, we're good friends." "You gave me lessons on how to defend myself." "Right?" "You used it?" "I did once but it made Teacher Li mad though, and he beat me up." "Tell me, would you like to learn kung fu?" "Oh, sure." "Then I wouldn't be bullied." "All right, but you must promise me three things though." "Why, of course." "Anything you say." "First:" "Don't call me teacher." "But why?" "Because we're good friends." "Right?" "Second:" "Never show you know kung fu unless it's essential." "Right." "And third?" "Third, if you see me fighting with someone you mustn't try and help me." "How can I?" "If someone fights you, I have to help." "You mustn't." "You promise?" "All right, I promise you." " What will you teach me?" " Snake Fist style." "Hey, kitty?" "What's wrong?" "Your master's gone, but nobody knows where to." "Guess you're hungry." "Well, I'll feed you." " You want to fight, do you?" " I'm sorry, Teacher." "You want to make trouble, do you?" "Teacher, you must be really tired." "Tired?" "Goddamn you!" "Teacher, you be careful." "I'm always careful." "Teacher, I said, "Be careful."" " Are you all right?" " Of course I'm not!" "Who are you?" "And what do you want here?" "I'll tell you." "I've just won the provincial championships." "All the schools congratulated me, except for this school." "Not one word." "Huh?" "And so what?" "So I've come to teach you manners." "Teach us manners?" "That's right." "So who's first?" "You're too damn cocky." "We'll fix you." "Yes, we'll manage you." "Right." "He'll show you." "Go ahead then." "Teacher Li, you are such an esteemed teacher here." "It's your honour." "Surely you go first." "Guess you're right." "But I'm generous." "So I shall give you the honour." "After you." " Teacher Li, after you." " Be my guest." " No, after you." "After you." " Oh, please." "You." "Shut up!" "I'll take you together!" "Take the upper part." " You take the legs then?" " Right." "Together now!" "And now you'll see just how I won that championship." "My head." "No, no!" "Not me!" "Won't need my hands." "That's good." "Hey, that guy is fantastic." "Let's go join the Hungwei School." "Sorry." "There's nobody here." "The school's closed." "Master Hung!" "Master Hung!" "Master Hung." "So you've come back." "That's good." "Master Hung, since you've no students, why not work as my assistant?" "I've come here to challenge this school to fight!" "Master Hung, no need for that." "I didn't force your pupils." "They came here." "Well, I don't care." "It was your doing." "And I tell you this." "You're going to pay!" "If you want them back, then take them if you can!" "I shall take them back, all right." "I promise." "Oh, well, if you're really so determined to have a fight, then I'll oblige." "Please." " Chien Fu, get back." " Yeah." "Teacher, that's great!" "You think you are a real man, but you're just a dog." "Teacher." "You stay there." "He's in a fix now." "Master Hung, it was me who caused this." "So I'm responsible." "Teacher, watch him." "He's tough." "Get back." "Oh, it's the new provincial champion." "Any time you're ready." "And never use the Snake Fist unless you must."" "And that's an order." "Understand?" "Trying to kill him or something?" "You got real nerve." "Do you want to fight, too?" "Hey, not me." "Not me." "I won't fight." "I won't fight." "Why'd you throw that shoe then?" "That's enough." "Don't fight." "Quite a tough kid, aren't you, huh?" "What style's that?" "If you must know, it's the Praying Mantis style." "Well, this is the Snake Fist style." "The Praying Mantis style." "The snake bites." " Chien Fu..." " Get back." "Wow!" "When he gets mad, he really does fight." "I told you not to fight." "Help me!" "Can't move, can you, huh?" "Your kung fu isn't bad but you've no stamina." "Once you've been knocked down then you start to give up, right?" "Fists not good enough, huh?" "Snake strikes." "I'm a poisonous snake." "That's called Finding the Snake, right?" "Master, let's go!" "Chien Fu is great!" "Let's go back to his school." "Hey, wait!" "Chien Fu, I have to leave on urgent business." "I left you a book on the Snake style." "You study it well and learn it all by heart." "Old man." "Old man!" "Old man!" "Old man?" "Where is he?" "Who are you?" "Well, now, you are looking for the old man, right?" "That's right." "So then so am I." "You want him?" "What is he to you?" " And what is he to you?" " He's my..." "Well, he's..." "He's your teacher." "Well, then, you ought to call me teacher also." "You mean that you're his colleague?" " That's right." " You lie." "Do I?" "Standing Snake." "The Snake Rears." "Teacher does that." "It looks right, but that's all." "Are you stupid?" "Do you doubt me?" "Right." "So try me!" "Try?" "Sure I will." "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "You learned the technique well but not well enough to beat me though." "Convinced?" "I should imagine you are." "Well, I'm not!" "I'm not!" "Anything else you got?" "I whirl." "And I turn." "You knew that one." "I dodge!" "You're my teacher, so I don't use full force." "This time I will." "Finding the Snake." "That's not so easy." "That's called Taking the Pearl." "Not so easy." "Teacher, that hurts." "That hurts!" "Let go!" "Listen." "How come you can counter my attacks?" "Of course, or how else could I be a teacher?" "But yours is a bit different." "No." "That's because you still have much to learn." "Will you teach me?" "You better ask your teacher first." "Hey, where is he?" " He's just left." " He left?" " Where's he gone?" " Don't know." "But he'll be back soon." "But when though?" "He didn't say." "Listen, when he does, I'll let you know." "Good." "But don't tell him I'm here." "Just tell me." "I want to surprise him, all right?" "Oh, sure, sure." "It's funny." "He fights better than Teacher." "The book!" "The cat tore it up." "Good cat." "That's great." "You really fixed that snake." "Your claws are very fierce." "If I could combine the Cat's Claw with Snake Fist..." "Chao Chi Chi!" "Shang was right." "He said you'd come." "Pai Chang Tien, you nearly escaped us." "But still, we got you though." "And now you can die along with Chao Chi Chi." "Shu Chin, did you really think I'd be so easy to kill, huh?" "Not a chance." "I'm not hot." "I don't need to be fanned." "Kneel down!" "Bow!" "Get up!" "Very obedient." "Old man." "Where'd you go to?" "Some urgent business." "Why didn't you say?" "I missed you." "I missed you, too." "Chien Fu, come and have some tea." "Coming." "Thanks." "Wow." "It's hot." "Here you are." "Listen." "Some guy came." "Wanted you." " Who was it?" " You know him." "I know him?" "Who is he?" "You sit here." "I must go." "I'll tell you later, huh?" "Oh, it's you." "I came for you." "Teacher's back." "I'll take you." "Come." "Come, come." "Here." "Hurry up." "He's in the yard there." "I didn't tell him." "He's through here." "Old man?" "Old man?" "He was just here." "Old man?" "Old man?" "Wait for me!" "The preacher?" "I'm not any sort of priest." "I come from Russia." "I'm a fighter." "You're what?" "You're not a priest?" "The Eagle Claws have hired me." "I'm to destroy the Snake Fist." "And my master managed to trick you into betraying your teacher." " He'll have killed him by now!" " You're a lousy swine." "I'll need new socks." "Pai Chang Tien, you needn't run." "You can't escape from me now." "Shang Kuan Yi-yuan don't you believe that your Eagle's Claw can beat everyone." "It's not quite invincible." "Our two techniques for many years have been rivals." "But today though, we'll see the end of yours." "Well, don't you be too sure." "I'm not scared of you." " I'm ready to fight you right now." " Good!" "But it's going to be your last fight for sure." "Assume position." "What's wrong?" "Snake getting tired?" "It seems that our old Snake is ready to die." "You really need a rock?" "You tricky swine." "You nearly had me fooled, saying you knew Teacher." "But I know the truth now." "Well, boy, you've got lots of guts." "And I shall kill you later, too." "Shang Kuan Yi-yuan, he's not my student." "You let him be." "That's right!" "I'm not his student!" "But he is my teacher." "I don't care whether you're his student or not." "But anybody who knows the Snake Fist technique anyone, I'll fix them and kill them!" "Is that a fact?" "Teacher, I think he's nuts." "Chien Fu, you can't beat him." "Run for it!" "Teacher, how can I leave you here, huh?" "This bastard, he's tricky." "You impertinent young fool." "I promise you, I shall have your teeth now!" "You'll have my teeth?" "Well, we'll see!" "That technique, that isn't Snake Fist style." "What is it?" "Cat's Claw!" "Chien Fu!" "Chien Fu, that was great." "Ah-wu." "How come you're here?" "I never knew you could fight like that." "It's great." "Where'd you learn it?" " Teacher taught me." " It's great." "Really great." "Oh, no, not so easy." "Well, I'm not worried." "That tea that I gave you today it contained a dose of poison." "You're going to die any minute now." "I promise you!" "You didn't know that I belong to the Eagle's Claw group!" "You..." "And you didn't know that we don't like to drink hot tea." "I changed it." "Chien Fu, you're really a smart boy." "You've combined the Snake Fist style with the Cat's Claw and it worked perfectly." "But still, I don't think that I like the name Cat's Claw." "All right, give it a name." "Call it "Snake in Eagle's Shadow."" "Good." "Snake in Eagle's Shadow."
