"Take a rest inside" "You must be tired of living" "Why do you want to see me for?" "I have some corpses for you" "Corpses?" "Special delivery" "Who ordered you to bring them here?" "How about a drink?" "Speak up!" "It's a hot day and I pushed them for miles" "Hell!" "Where did you find the bodies?" "In the woods" "How did you know to deliver them here?" "I knew your No.5" "What else did you see in the woods?" "I saw a girl fighting with No.5" "A girl?" "What else did you see?" "Talk!" "I was passing through the woods when I saw her fighting these men" "She really let them have it and sent those guys to heaven I was so scared" "She did it herself?" "She had me deliver the bodies to you" "Said you'd tip me five taels of silver I never thought..." "Wait" "Here's five taels of silver" "What else did she say?" "Thanks." "She said..." "She said for you not to worry the poison wasn't strong" "What else?" "That her name's Swallow" "She also spoke of a business deal" "Told me to bring back any message you have for her" "Let's go" "You can remove the corpses yourself" "Drunken Cat, take me to her" "She said she wouldn't meet me till tomorrow morning" "Where?"

"Get him some food" "Fetch the monk for the funeral" "The girl mentioned a business deal" "What's it all about?" "Stick to drinking and mind your own business" "Sure, sure" "Abbot Liao Kung is here, sir" "Second Master wants you to greet him" "Keep an eye on him" "Don't let him out of your sight I understand" "Don't move!" "It's hot." "Can I borrow a fan?" "I said don't move!" "I won't" "Who's this Abbot?" "Who?" "Nobody you know." "Don't ask" "Yes, sir" "Where was No. 5 wounded?" "The heart" "Doesn't look like a dagger wound" "Open the coffin and examine the corpses" "No, she didn't kill him" "Who did?" "Did the beggar carry a bamboo pole with a gourd fixed to its top?" "Yes" "To think he was right under my nose the whole time!" "You know him?" "He's the one I've been looking for" "Why would an Abbot look for a beggar?" "We had the same kung-fu master" "Had I known, I wouldn't have been so rude" "He didn't look like a kung-fu ace" "He's truly a great master" "But compared to me... he still has a way to go" "What's his name?" "Fan Ta Pei" "But because he drinks morning to night" "Some call him the drunken hero" "He killed all five" "So he's one of us and it's all a misunderstanding?" "Misunderstanding?" "When our teacher died he stole his treasured heirloom the bamboo pole and started a new sect" "The elders have ordered me to kill this treacherous infidel and recover the pole" "Where is he?" "In the rear hall" "Seize him" "What happened?" "Where's the beggar?" "He escaped" "He won't get far!" "Sir, you should have something to eat" "You've been uneasy since you returned" "Something's definitely bothering you" "You've helped me so much I won't trouble you further" "You can't do it alone" "Come here" "Lift up that stone" "No, the big one" "Throw it at my head" "Come on, strike me!" "Do it again" "Fling it higher this time" "Are you all right?" "My days are numbered" "What did you tell Jade-face Tiger?" "My classmate Liao Kung is the abbot" "Will you entreat him to save my brother?" "Even though we had the same teacher we are enemies" "He wanted to inherit this bamboo pole so he covertly assassinated our teacher" "The next time we meet only one of us will live" "How come he joined Jade-face Tiger?" "Our teacher had no idea how evil he really was" "The Abbot and Jade-Face Tiger are birds of a feather" "Why don't we arrest him and eliminate this scourge?" "His kung-fu skills are unsurpassed I doubt if I can beat him" "He once did me a good turn" "Ten years ago, I was a homeless orphan" "He was the one who convinced our teacher to raise me" "Because of this kindness I've always tried to avoid him I see" "You need not concern with my troubles I'll manage on my own" "Miss Chang!" "Wait" "There's one way out" "Bring the Governor's prisoner back and save your brother" "I can't without permission" "My father would never agree" "Fortunately, he's still unaware of what's going on here" "Just escort the prisoner back I'll have him arrested again" "If I deliver your leader will you free Master Chang?" "Sir, since you're willing to help us we'll do as you say" "Good!" "Where shall we make the exchange?" "At the southern slope" "What time?" "Noon tomorrow lt's a deal" "This green bamboo staff long and slender" "With it two travel from north to south" "Rain or shine" "Liao Kung!" "You still recognize me" "We two were fated to meet again someday" "Still a beggar after all these years?" "Better an honest beggar than a devil in monk's clothing I've worked hard to wear this robe" "Dyed red with our teacher's blood" "Where's his bamboo pole?" "It's a sacred relic." "You'll never touch it" "As the eldest disciple it should be mine" "I am obliged to uphold the honour of our sect" "Disciples must obey our ancient code" "Anyone who discredits it must be punished no matter what his rank" "Even an abbot?" "Teacher swore that the day you saw the bamboo pole would be the day you die" "So you mean to take my life" "You must pay for teacher's death" "Well, if he so ordered what are you waiting for?" "I can't forget you once saved me" "Aren't you the noble one!" "Enough of your idle chatter give me the bamboo pole and I'll let you live" "Otherwise, it's a fight to the finish I saved your life and I can destroy your life" "Grant me three days' grace" "So you can run away?" "I promised to escort Master Chang home" "You're on the verge of death yet still middle in others affairs I'm asking for a favour" "Stay out of this affair" "Your affairs are of no concern to me ln three days we can settle our score" "You can't escape, anyway" "Three days won't matter" "You may go" "Brother!" "What's the meaning of this?" "You have the reputation of a man of integrity" "How can you break your word?" "I made a promise, there was no alternative" "Please try to understand" "Old beggar, I know what you're up to" "We won't say anything this time" "But if your paths cross again you better stay out of our way I won't forget your benevolence I'll never interfere in your affairs again" "Good But!" "K" "Till we meet again" "Let's go" "Thank you" "Protect the sedan chair" "Are you all right, brother?" "Yes" "Tell them if they don't stop I'll kill you" "Hold it!" "Take some men and go on ahead I'll have a look up there" "Good!" "Let's trap them all" "Go up the other side" "Be careful, don't hurt the master" "We searched east and west, and can't find them!" "Wait here. I'll find them" "All right" "Attack!" "Stop the prisoner's wagon" "Let's go!" "Get after them" "Pursue them!" "Where's the prisoner's wagon?" "It's headed for the hills" "Out of the way!" "Abbot, grab her!" "Run away while you can!" "Right!" "Get out of the way!" "Don't be so ruthless, young fellow" "Who are you?" "Never mind, where's that beggar?" "You ... you're Abbot Liao Kung?" "Sir, please keep out of this" "I'll send you to heaven" "Sir" "Take the men out of here" "Have you thought about what I said?" "Yes, I have" "You are hereby expelled from the Bamboo sect and exiled I promise not to seek revenge" "You're the one who will be destroyed" "Get out of here!" "My life or death is in your hands" "Do as you please" "Don't try any of your tricks!" "I am not beholden to you" "And I'll never again feel obligated to you" "Let me tell you something" "Go and hide in the remotest hills" "Adopt a new name and start afresh lf l run into you again my sword will not be so sympathetic" "I must leave you now" "That's what you think!" "Thank you, master."
