"Master Yuan, is there anyone who can be my match?" "It's difficult to find" "If Master Yang were here " "We'll know if I have a match" "What kind of a fellow is Master Yang?" "Young master, disregard him" "What use is that old fellow?" "Which style is he from?" "Tai Chi" "Like this" "Like catching shrimps" "Master Yuan, ingratiate him all you want, - but don't insult Tai Chi Chuan" "You're also a martial arts practitioner and should know the status of Tai Chi" "Old Yang might not be young master's match" "Never mind that" "Master Yuan, get Master Yang to fight with me" "Yes" "Go" "Quickly..."

"Elder brother, don't talk like that" "You call us brothers" "Supervisor Tang wants us for a big time job" "I dare not say it's a big job but rather it is a small token" "That's a lot of money." "What do I have to do?" "Master Yang, There's something you don't know." "Since childhood - young master has been interested in martial arts" "He is also courteous" "He has heard of your name and would like to see your skills" "You should consent" "Master Yang, if you agree I am sure that Master Chin - will definitely reward you well" "By then you'll know, I've come with good intentions" "We don't need this kind of money to buy food and supplies" "If he is so generous, - ask him not to treat road workmen in such a mean way" "Yang Chen" "Master Yang, are you going or not?" "You should say something and give me face" "I'm not going" "You have broken a carrying stick" "You think I don't carry enough and add more weight such that it's broken" "I don't care" "Your wages will be deducted accordingly" "I..." "Listen, all of you" "You'll all leave one hour later from tomorrow" "No way..." "What else are you up to?" "What blasé attitude!"

"We're not made of iron" "We'll leave at the same time tomorrow" "Right..." "Ku Ting, you were trained in martial arts" "Not really been trained in it" "That's good enough for us" "Who did you train with?" "Master Yang" "No wonder you submitted yourself to the beating" "You can't be hurt" "What do you mean?" "Look, I 'm still bruised" "That's nothing" "Ku Ting, do your job well" "I'll promote you" "Ku Ting, let's go!" "Coming" "Remember, learning from anyone is better than learning from Hu" "Can't imagine in such a small place" "There's someone like you" "You'll be famous if you come with me to Shanghai" "Famous?" "You wouldn't understand now" "It's strange!" "You look very different" "What do you want?" "What can I want?" "Who is it?" "Master Yuan wants to see you." " I know" "What's the matter?" "Where is that Tai Chi Master Yang?" "He wouldn't come." " Nonsense" "Didn't you say I asked for him?" "Why didn't you say so?" "He also scolded me" "He must come and see me" "Young master, show him who's the boss" "Bring him here and he will make you angry" "Then, get rid of him" "I don't want to meet his kind" "Young master, it's easy to kill him" "But if anything goes wrong I'll take care of the worst" "What?" "You doubt my prowess?" "No..." "This technique to divert your force - to strike you with your own force" "To use strength against strength" "Ku Ting, today I'll be able to try out what you got" "Stand fast" "Come, hit me" "Ku Ting, your chi has reached my level" "How come you couldn't withstand my punch?" "You are not focused" "What's bothering you?" "Nothing" "You don't fool me" "Tai Chi is different from other martial arts" "An un-focused mind would just cause confusion" "I'd like to leave earlier" "What for?" "To see A-Bao" "A-Bao?" "Young master, where's the young lady?" "What do you want with her?" "You can tell me" "I'd like to go out for a while to see Ku Ting" "I'll be back soon" "All right" "Thank you, young master" "Young master, you..." "No, don't" "Please don't" "No, don't" "No, please don't" "Although we practice martial arts nevertheless we should have moral" "The assignment given by Chin is best refused" "To perform in public for a living is better than - being a running dog of the rich" "Master Yang is right" "Come on, don't let him get away" "Who hired you to assassinate me?" "Speak up" "Who hired you to come after me?" "Chin Ta-hsing" "Father, father" "Father" "Yang Chen, quick, get Ku Ting" "A-Bao, A-Bao" "How are you?" "Why don't you say something?" "A-Bao, what's wrong with you?" "Don't you recognize me?" "I'm Ku Ting" "A-Bao, A-Bao" "Ku Ting, Ku Ting!" "Cut that racket in the middle of the night" "You're disturbing peoples' sleep" "Ku Ting, Ku Ting!" " What's all that noise?" "It's middle of the night" "People can't sleep" "Ku Ting!" "Someone's calling me" "Wait for me" "Master Chin" "Ku Ting!" "Ku Ting, don't stay here!" "Come along" "Ku Ting, if you don't come with me now we can't see father anymore." "Let's go" "Master..." " Father" "Go lie down." "I'll get the doctor" "Ku Ting, you've come at last" "I haven't begged anyone all my life" "Now I'm asking you a favor" "Go with Yang Chen." " Father" "Escape in the middle of the night" "Master, you..." "Ku Ting, be tolerant in all matters" "Yang Chen" "Father." " Master" "With people like you working for me I'm made to look like a fool to all" "Where's Yang Tang?" "Got himself drunk in the backyard last night" "No one has seen him" "Young master, we have taken care of old Yang" "Had I been aware of your incompetence, I would have done it myself" "You said old Yang has a daughter" "Who else is there?" "A disciple repairing the roads" "His name?" " Ku Ting" "I'm going out for a while" "I'll meet Ku Ting and then return immediately" "This is good" "To have established connections with him" "Really terrible!" "So young" "I wonder where she is from" "A-Bao?" "Good, they know her" "What's your relationship with her?" "She is uncle's daughter" "Go and alert her family" "Go quickly" "All right" "Go..." "A-Bao, I'll beat you if you don't go home" "That's strange" "Ku Ting hasn't returned the whole night" "Quite late last night, a girl was looking for him" "You're worried about him" "Ku Ting is not that kind of person" "I am not fooling you" "That girl is tall, has a braid and big eyes" "She's quite pretty so to speak" "She's Master Yang's daughter" "Has something happened to Yang?" "Inform the supervisor." "I'll start work later" "You are Hu Ping-lien?" "You're about to die" "What?" "I say it's time you to die" "What?" "Hu, you heard me" "We are the ones who beat you up" "But the one after your life is Tang Hoi Hay" "Ku Ting..." "Ku Ting is here" "Ku Ting" "Ku Ting, you know already?" "You are so grieved yourself" "How can you comfort uncle and aunt?" "Uncle?" "Aunt?" "A-Bao is dead" "What did you say?" "A-Bao, dead?" "Let go" "A-Bao is dead, he saw it." " That's right" "She was fished out of the water" "Ku Ting..." "Where's A-Bao?" "Speak" "A-Bao is at the morgue" "Why have you waited till now to come" "A-Bao was best friends with you" "Why she jumped into the river you should know" "She went to boss Chin's place to serve a lady" "I mean, after only one day...!" "I am leaving" "Master Chin" "Ku Ting, what's the matter?" "What's wrong?" "A-Bao was killed by the Chin family" "Ku Ting, be careful of what you say" "If you babble like that you're the one who'll suffer" "Not the powerful Chins." " Right..." "No matter what the Chin family is involved" "Let's take this up with them" "Where's Brother Hu?" "Why haven't we seen him?" "For him to take uncle would be best" "Brother Hu heard Miss Yang sought you" "And said maybe something happened to Yang" "Yang was stabbed" "He died" "What?" "Ku Ting, uncle's matter is urgent" "We can't wait for Hu" "Say, why don't you and I accompany uncle to the Chins" "Uncle, I'll take you there" "This girl A-Bao;" "Did she not take a month's salary?" "She got that long ago" "That's fine then" "What are you grumbling about?" "She jumped into the river and died" "What nonsense!" "She had her own free will" "If she wanted to jump, was it up to me to stop her" "Master Chin, - she did work here" "Have a heart" "Get lost" "Have a heart?" "How much can I do?" "If nothing happened here A-Bao wouldn't have jumped" "Bloody nonsense" "You want to blame it on me?" "I saw her at mid night yesterday" "That's your business" "It might be because you failed to rape her that you pushed her into the river" "Get lost at once!" "Master Chin, you..." "Master Chin, please..." "What's the matter?" "These three have gone crazy and want to blackmail me" "Oh, you're here as well!" "Supervisor Tang, Uncle's daughter came here to serve the lady" "Don't involve me" "She jumped into the river and died" "What's the big deal?" "Go and collect 10 dollars from accounts" "Father, don't give a cent" "We owe them nothing" "If we start a precedence it might appear we're obliged." "That'll be big trouble" "Tell them to be gone." " Get lost... go..." "Young master, this is Ku Ting whom you have been looking for" "Drive those two out" "Master Chin, don't you have any conscience?" "Don't go" "I heard you trained under Master Yang and trained in Tai Chi Chuen, is it?" "Spar with me" "Let me see - what over-rated kung fu is that" "If the environment hinders you, follow me to the backyard" "There's plenty of space" "See how many punches you can take" "Close the door!" "What?" "Will you not strike?" "While I did learn kung fu, it was not intended for fighting" "If it's not for fighting, what's the point?" "You wouldn't understand" "Oh, so you do?" "You killed A-Bao" "Rubbish!" "Tolerate" "You can't deny you killed A-Bao" "Nonsense" "Take it up with the court" "I know you fear not the court;" "However you'll fear because someone has died because of you" "You killed A-Bao." " You dare say that again?" "Tolerate" "Young master, he's not your match" "I'll kill him if he doesn't fight" "Open the door..." "Young master, he tricked you" "He uses your own force against you" "That's the essence of Tai Chi" "A waste of energy" "You can't kill him alone" "Let's all join forces and kill him" "Why don't you strike back?" "You bastard, why don't you fight back?" "I know of a way" "Young master, push him here" "Tolerate..." "Ku Ting, fight..." "Release Ku Ting..." "Why doesn't Ku come out?" "Release Ku Ting..." "Why Ku Ting didn't come out?" "Chin has no reason to retain him." "Not let him go?" " Right..." "What business is it of yours?" "Are you going to release him?" "Ku Ting, are you all right?" "I am okay." " That's fine then" "Tang Hoi Hay, fire these people and never hire them again" "We'd rather be beggars than work for you" "Take back your dirty money!" "Let's go..." "Go" "Young master, a man of your status shouldn't fight with these people" "Ku Ting, you're useless" "Having trained in kung fu for 10 years - all you do is take a beating" "And dare not fight back." "Why don't you fight back?" "Don't blame him" "If he hits Chin, Chin has the money to get away with murder." "What do we have?" "Yes, no wonder..." "I am useless" "I can't deal with them on your behalf" "You can only seek Brother Hu's help" "Yes, it's about time" "Let's go find Brother Hu." " Yes." "Come on, let's get brother Hu" "Do your work quickly..." "What's wrong?" "Do it quickly" "What's the matter?" " Here comes Ku Ting" "I don't know" "What are you doing?" "Brother Hu..." "Brother Hu is dead!" "Brother Hu was beaten to death by someone." "He died horribly" "Where did he die?" " In the graveyard" "Brother Hu didn't die peacefully" "He died a cruel death" "Ku Ting, avenge Brother Hu's death..." "Ku Ting, you can't fall." "It's all up to you now" "Up to me?" "We intended to discuss with Brother Hu." "Now he's dead" "Who else can we turn to?" "Ku Ting, Brother Hu has been killed" "And A-Bao committed suicide" "Even your Master was done away with" "You must seek revenge" "Ku Ting, you must avenge them!" "What are you doing?" "Back to work!" "Father, I'll avenge you" "Who killed master?" "Chin and his gang" "Father, even if I'm alone, I'll avenge you" "Yang Chen" "Just before master died..." "Don't say that" "You said Master was killed by Chin and his gang" "Did Master tell you that before he died?" "No, but I know" "Yuen said Chin wanted to see father" "Chin went away unhappy" "Someone named Wong came at night" "Father went out with him - and returned with a knife stuck in him" "Yang Chen, when Master asked us to leave, it was precisely to avoid trouble" "What do you mean by that?" "Yang Chen, I long knew you wanted to stay out of trouble" "I haven't involved you in my bid for revenge" "Yang Chen." " Leave." "Go away" "My father asked you not to come here again" "Yang Chen, I..." "You're useless, wasting your kung fu" "Father" "Father" "Another bottle" "Ku Ting, you've never been the drinking kind" "In any event we're closing" "Go home" "Give me another bottle." " No" "You can't drink anymore." " Give it to him" "Master Yang, you..." "I said give him more wine" "Master Yang, you don't know..." "He is not the drinking kind" "Stop grumbling" "I know better" "If a man wants to drink heavily, he must have his reason" "Are you going to give him more wine?" "Yes, yes" "One bottle for me too" "Yes, yes" "Here's the wine" "Come with me." "I'll take you to a place to drink." "There." "We'll not be disturbed" "Friend, what do you do?" "Road works" "There's someone called Hu Ping-lien" "You know Brother Hu too?" "What's your name?" "Ku Ting" "Do you know this?" "I've learnt a little from Tai Chi Master Yang" "My master..." "Master Yang, he was murdered." " Tolerate..." "Father, I'm going" "What's with you?" "A girl just went by, full of fury" "Brother Yang, there's something I've to take care of" "What are you laughing at?" "I am weak by nature" "Hiding behind others, and tolerating all the time" "I haven't done a thing which has been useful to society" "What's the use of kung fu?" "Now I'm going to look for someone" "You should come with me" "Me?" "Which lady wants to see me?" "Lady, so early in the day" "What can I do for you?" "I'm here to kill you" "Interesting!" "You know kung fu" "I have to kill you..." "She's Master Yang's daughter" "Even better" "Young master, at the site today no workman has shown up" "What's wrong?" "Miss Yang, after we've finished playing here - let's frolic in the bed" "You beast!" "Halt" "Do you still remember at the graveyard you killed Hu?" "Ku Ting, you want to die?" "Supervisor Tang..." "Chin Ta-hsing, - you ruthless murderer!" "Yang Tang, do you want to die?" "I have been avoiding to do what's just and should have died long ago" "But you will not live either!" "Ku Ting, Ku Ting!" "Yang Chen!" "Why don't you fight?" "Rescue Brother Yang first" "Not that easy" "Where is Ku Ting?" "Brother Yang" "Brother Yang..." "You've come" "I won't make it" "Ku Ting, it was Chin who murdered - your master and raped A-Bao" "And also killed your friend Hu" "You must avenge them" "Ku Ting, we can't drink together again..." "You've spent 10 years learning kung fu for nothing" "You're useless" "Yang Chen, come along." "Let's take revenge" "You little swine, you can run to nowhere" "Chin Ta-hsing, today is the day of reckoning" "What's the big deal about Tai Chi?" "Your master was killed by my men" "I'll kill you, Chin" "Oh?" "Vengeance, is it" "Ku Ting." " I've killed someone" "Until now I never imagined I'll kill someone" "Ku Ting." " I've killed someone!" "I'm not happy at all" "The thought is so unbearable" "Those people..." "Why do they enjoy killing people?" "Say no more"
