Original subtitles

Master, big trouble...

What's the matter?

The troops have entered the city

Really?

I saw them with my own eyes

Quick, lock the door

Yes

Bolt the inner door

Yes

Bar the back door

Yes

Come back

Lock the door of the young Miss at night

If he doesn't learn when young what'll he be when old?

A piece of jade

must be crafted, man must study to find the truth

To find the truth...

How many truths could there be? As a Son...

As a son

Right

Right

There's no need to recite...

Stand properly

Dad

This way

Look...I spend so much effort to teach you

and you fall asleep, you are useless

You are...so useless

Kneel

Memorise it and recite it to me

Rotten wood...

Rotten wood

A young man must study, or would be useless in old age

Stay with me

You are blind

What are you doing here?

Excuse me...

Old man, you are in public

it wouldn't be good if people saw you like this

Damn, you are so old

you could be her father

If you persist, I'll beat you up

Officer, I am her father

Chief

Get lost

Yes

How about ten dollars?

What do you take me for?

Twenty then

Thank you, sir

Come on, thank the officer

Who is she?

My wife, goodbye

Sorry

Damn, are you blind?

This kid looks handsome

Must be an artist

Sisi

Chief

Master Kwei

Sir

The girls who had a relationship with you are there

Honey, you became a officer

Come with me

Director Chu

You are here too

Not bad

Bravo

Wonderful

So many soldiers are here

Sister, let's take a look over there

Unlike you I am not afraid of the soldiers

Of course, you want to marry an officer

Don't clap hands

It's great

How come you only know laughing and grabbing me?

Brother, why do you keep touching me?

Alright I'll stop

I'm not talking about you

Let's find a place to have a chat, okay?

What are you talking?

Let's be friends

Brother, let's go

That man was lousy

Major

Miss...

Major

You fool,

why are you reporting at such a time?

Commander called

Listen

Go to find out

what's the girls's name and where she lives

Watch out if you fail

Yes

Her dad is called Xu Shou Qing

He was a scholar in Tien Jian

He is known as scholar Xu

He fears nothing

except ceremonial rites and regulations

Major

Alright, I'll call the commander

and request him to be the go-between

It can't be...she's engaged

What happens if the old man refuses!

Then I'll beat him up

Do you want his daughter?

Damn, alright, what good idea have you got?

I'll listen to you

Didn't you say she is interested in you?

Of course

I told you she wouldn't let go of my hand

but unfortunately I didn't reveal my feelings

I'll ask the troops to do their drill at her door

and induce her out to see you

Say, if she's interested in you

then sleep with her, and later apologise to her old man

By then, everything's done;

he has to promise

Right, you are good

1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1

Sister, let's go and watch the troops march

I fear dad might know

He's taking his nap

It's okay to just take a look

You say it's okay

Alright then, we'll go out

Stand still

Dad

I know you're running out

How many times have I told you

you should walk properly, look at me

Your heart was tranquil

and now it's aflutter after your running about

The Analects by Confucius say

one should walk slowly

Left hand in front right hand at the back

This is called walking

Go over there, stand still, come back

Let me see if you remember

One arm in front, the other behind

Alright...stop

Your arms are incorrect

Move your left arm first, then your right leg

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Your damn idea

Look how dreadful it is

1, 1, 1, 2, 1

If the lady doesn't come out

you'll be beaten 50 sticks

Half a day's work for nothing!

You bastard, you aren't concentrating

how could you learn?

Kneel

Left and right hand

What are you doing over there?

Nothing

Count the windows

1, 2

1, 2, 1

Ask them to return to the camp

Return to the camp

March

1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1

Major

Go on up

No way

Go and tell her that you like her

I'm scared

What are you afraid of?

Miss...

Miss...

Don't follow me

Miss, why are you at the main door?

I...I heard from Dad that he's asked Madam Wang

to find a maid to accompany me

So I am waiting for her here

Waiting? You should wait inside

What are you afraid of?

If old Master knew that you've come out,

it would be bad. Go back in

What's with you?

I...

What happened?

He is dead?

He...I'm afraid he's dead

What are we going to do?

He isn't dead; Just a sunstroke, go and get some water

Alright...

Wait, get all the other

medicines as well

Hurry and get them

Miss...

Miss, I've something to say to you

She's passed out

That's bad

Miss, wake up...

Miss

She's come around

Major, hurry and say what you've got to say

Miss

You...

Tell her you want to marry her

Alright...I want to sleep with you

No, not right

Not sleep with you immediately

Miss...I'm not going to sleep with you right here

Please don't blame me, okay? I mean it

Just now I deliberately made that old man go away

It's the lousy idea of that bastard

-Yu Zhen -Dad

Yu Zhen

There's discretion between sexes

It's indecorous that you go out alone, go in...

Go...go in, why did you come out?

You damn thing, get up

Dad, I...

What are you doing?

You're a decent man, I want to learn from you

Damn it

Dad

Go to the study, go, stand still

Don't run

Didn't I teach you how to walk properly?

I...left hand, right hand

Get lost

How can I have a child like him?

Old Master, Madam Wang is here

Good

Madam Wang, old Master asks you to go inside

Come on

Oh, Master Xu

I saw you once I came in

I told her but she didn't believe me

She said couldn't be that young

Really?

I told her

Master Xu is only seventy years old

Can't be old at all

Besides, Master Xu is a well-known person

A scholar, and having passed the Imperial Examinations

that already makes you different from all other people

That's true

Master Xu, look at her

What do you think?

This is the maid I've got for you

What's her name?

Her name is Liu and her husband's name is Zhang

No need to be shy

She looks honest

Sure, she's well known for her honesty

No need to ask her to come over

No. There is protocol to be observed

Never mind...

Good...

Good...she looks young

I...

How old are you? Speak

Well...I'm born in the year of the snake

Snake, good

Country women are honest and witty too

Not telling you her age, instead just lets you know...

that her zodiac sign is snake

That's alright for a woman

Have you set your eyes on her?

Yes

Confucius says narrow-mindedness bears a narrow vision

What damn trick is this?

It's your idea that I be dressed up as a doctor

seducing a decent girl; that would be the death of me

I've bribed Madam Wang to let you get in

So many books... how am I going to memorize them all?

No?

Look at this, they are all there

Good, I'll reward you later

Feeling better?

Yes

Good

Alright...

Let's rehearse this part

Good...

I am the old butler. You've come and I'll say:

Mister, have a seat

This way please

Yes...

My daughter sits over there

This way the man can't see the woman

The moral standards could be maintained

and you could diagnose her, what do you think?

Good idea

Please sit, I'll get my daughter

Yes

Please

Old bastard,

this is the first time I suffer this

If I get your daughter one day

I'll give you a good beating

or my name isn't Fang

Go over there

Must see the doctor, understand?

He is behind the screen

Dad, I am not sick

He is a doctor of high standing

Go and sit down

I am afraid

Sir, could you stop coughing please?

Take away your hand

Mr Xu, I'm examining the pulse of your daughter

You must promise not to tell anyone

that you touched my daughter's hand

Sure

Let the doctor examine your pulse

What a smooth hand

What did you say?

I said something's wrong with your daughter's pulse

This is my hand

No wonder

Please ask your daughter to take out her hand

Come

Fear not, I am here

Something's not right

Your daughter's sickness is serious

Come, I'll tell you what's wrong

Alright

No, I'm here, just tell me

I can hear you, go ahead

In medical books this disease is termed as 'Bai He'

The symptoms like typhoid, weak limbs

She would be suddenly disorganised, feeling chaotic

All she needs is a dose of herbal soup

and she'll recover

There's ink and paper, please write the prescription

I can't

Why?

I must look at her tongue

What?

You are a bit vulgar

Hurry and send the old man away

I know

Miss, sitting here all by yourself

You've come in good time

Look at the doctor you've got for me

He had the nerve to ask my daughter to open her mouth

to look at her tongue

Master Xu, he is an honest man

Don't be angry, I'll go speak to him

What's wrong with you? She's a decent girl

Alright...since you don't let me look at her tongue

I'll take her pulse again

Master Xu, don't worry

Alright...

Master Xu, I want to speak to you

Let's talk later

It's about Madam Zhang

Later, Madam Zhang...

Madam Zhang...

What's the matter with her?

Madam Zhang

It's my fault

I only knew she was a widow

after I brought her here

Madam Zhang is a widow?

I believe you are concerned with taboos

I am not

Keep it

What?

You bastard

Master Xu

Stay out of it

I'll kill you

Don't run

Master Xu, stop...

See where you can run

Stop

I'll kill you

Master Xu...

Quick...grab him

Don't let him get away

Master Xu

Bastard, stay out of it

See where you could run

Who are you?

I have no name

You are weird

I haven't met you before

But I know you

You are a widow, thirty year-old

You just want a man

to take you as his woman

Who are you?

I am a living god

and have come to take you

You are shit

Scolding me, huh?

I'll scold you...

Scold you to death

I know better than to quarrel with a woman like you

I'll just keep silent

You dare open your mouth? I'll smack you

You are so thick-skinned

What's your name?

Bo Sin

No surname

No one has called my name for years

I followed master as a kid and was called a page

he got promoted and I was addressed as retinue officer

Retinue officer? What rank is that?

It's quite high in rank

it's equal to our young master

He rides, I follow

He rides in a sedan chair, I hold his gun for him

What he can do, I can do it too

But what I can do, he may not be able to do

What would that be?

Trafficking cigarettes, bullying honest people

One more thing you wouldn't guess

Tell me

Seducing decent women

I see

Your master asked you to look for me

Right

Not bad

But our Master only

wants the best

So it'll never be you

Bullshit

Everyone wants me

Only that old scholar wants you

None of your business

I am jealous

Why?

I like you

You like me, but I don't like you

Well?

You are no good

Says who?

I'll walk a few steps for you to see

The way I walk

indicates you'll be an officer's wife someday

If you promise to

get Miss for our master

We can make a pair too

Are you sincere?

Good

You can't escape this time

you hassle my daughter and then my maid

You low-down bastard

Where can you run to?

Master...

See where you could run? He can't escape

You petty bastard

I'll break your legs

Master...

Liu De, you've come at a good time

Master

Catch this guy

tie him up and don't let him get away

Master, I can't grab him

You are good for nothing

Stand still

Yes

I'll go

Don't move, I'll get men to arrest you

I am not going

Really? Thanks, don't move

Yu Jieh...

Dad, I...

You've come in good time, come in

Help me grab him

Don't let him get away

Come on

Left and right hand; one in front, the other behind

What do you mean?

I want you to fight

See where you could run

Master

You must be tired

He's got away

Got away?

Go in and rest

I wanted to break his legs

Rest a while

Really pissed me off

Master, you are sweating, you'll get sick

Take off your clothes

Alright

Let me

No...it is not good if people see us

Madam Zhang, why do you have to close the door?

I am afraid you might catch a cold

Right

Get in bed and rest

Alright

Madam Zhang

Man and woman should not be too close

You are an upright man

I have nothing to fear

That's true, even if I held you close to my bosom

nothing would happen

Come, it's more comfortable if you leaned back

Alright...this way

Feels so good...

I heard from madam Wang that you're still a widow

My husband has been dead for 10 years

It must have been hard...

You know that too

How would I know

Of course you wouldn't, you haven't been widowed

Madam Zhang, tomorrow when you have time

tell me about yourself

I'll write an essay for you on chaste women

When my essay becomes famous

you wouldn't have suffered in vain

How could I ever repay you

I'll bow to you

Let me bow to you

Madam Zhang

Master

Your hands are smooth

Don't tease me

No...

Your hands are smoother than my wife's

Your clothes are undone here...

It doesn't matter

Master, you are an upright man

nothing will happen even if I stripped naked

That's not appropriate

I'll strip now

I am stripping now

You are really not afraid

Of course. Even if I lay beside you

I would not be afraid

Really?

Even if I shared the blanket with you

I still won't be afraid

Not afraid?

I get closer to you, yet I am not afraid

There's nothing to be afraid of

My body is close to yours, yet I am not afraid

I am not afraid either

Madam Zhang, I am not afraid

Madam Zhang

Why are you like this?

You said you are a gentleman, why are you like this?

I am not a gentleman when I am in bed

Madam Zhang, I am not afraid either

We are both not afraid

Madam Zhang...not afraid

Somebody's here

You trash, get lost

Stand still

Who asked you to come in?

Dad

I saw the way dad and Madam Zhang lay in bed

How many times have I told you

Confucius says to announce your presence when entering

why don't you sound a slight cough

Dad, then next time I'll make sure to cough

Get out, I don't want you to cough

Left and right hand...one in front, the other behind

Run

Go out

I'm running

Who is he?

He's the friend of the doctor

Why have you entered my room?

Get out, give me my clothes

What are you doing?

What do you want?

Old bastard, write

Confucius says...

What do you want me to write?

I'll read it to you

Old scholar, well-versed in everything

Hypocritical, greedy and fond of women

Nonsense

Charming li'l Mdm Zhang; a beautiful face and a big ass

Damn you

The scholar touches it everyday

Talking nonsense

Aren't you afraid to make her pregnant?

Shut up

Miss hates her old man for her unfortunate marriage

Falls in love with a fake doctor and decides to remarry

Old man please agree, give her jewellery for her dowry

Put a stamp, sign a name to make it binding

Sign it

No, I won't

Confucius says one's will cannot be bent

Even if you put a knife at my throat

I wouldn't sign it

No? Doesn't matter

Hey, come and watch the show

The scholar flirting with a widow

Stop...you...

Don't...you see...

Would you sign or not?

Yes, let's discuss it

Hurry

Don't...We'll discuss it, alright...

Petty man

Old bastard, thanks

Why are you calling me old bastard?

Old Master, your nephew is here with many soldiers

He is here just in time, good

Let me teach you a lesson, don't go

Salute

Uncle

Good

Uncle, please sit

Have a seat

Please

I've been looking for you

and you are here

I've been in the army travelling around

that's why I've lost contact with you

I received a letter from my father

and knew that you would be here

Few days ago the chief was hosting a party

and I saw your name on the list

but didn't see you there

I didn't bother to socialise with them

Yes

If not in that position, one shouldn't get involved

Father did mention about cousin and my marriage

She's grown up now

I've been bothered by this matter

Yes...

I need a favour from you. This bastard...

It's you...

Major

You are here?

No wonder I couldn't find you

What? You know each other?

He's my retinue officer

Hurry and salute to Uncle

Yes

C'mon, quick

Uncle

How can you use such person as your retinue officer?

He used to be so uncouth in the army

If he's been rude to you, let me chastise him

Alright, you'd better chastise him

Turn left, face Uncle

Jog, go

One, two...

Look

Attention

Kneel

See who is more ferocious

Let him get up

Yes

Get up...

Uncle, I've already punished him

What about my marriage with cousin?

Dad, Sister is here

Damn, go in

Who asked you to come out?

Dad, he's that doctor

Nonsense

Yes

He dressed up like a doctor

to see sister

What? Who said that?

Dad

He's got a letter for me

Go in

You take a look

Looks exactly the same

How stupid of me!

I didn't recognize him

Passed out?

No

You nasty thing

Nasty, cheap, contemptible, low

All in all, you are vile

Uncle...

What...

Don't be angry

Cousin and I have a pre-arranged marriage

What do you mean?

Uncle, it's more appropriate that cousin married me

Why?

Same as this hat, I'm more suitable for it

This hat is mine

That's right, this hat is yours, cousin is mine

What? People are different from hats

My daughter won't marry a low-grade person like you

Uncle...You can't be unreasonable

She wouldn't marry you

Uncle

Major, let me try

No way

Come in

Yes

Attention, take out your weapons

Yes

Target the old man

Not even if you were pointing a cannon at me

Ready

You asked him to go out

Out, out

Yes

How can you be so rude?

You bastard

Ask him to kneel

Kneel?

Kneel

Kneel

Major

No talking

Kneel

Uncle, are you satisfied?

Of course, good work

Then you agree to cousin marrying me?

Of course...

No, I won't agree

Uncle

No matter what, I won't agree

Major

Old scholar, piece of antique, well-versed in all

Hypocritical, greedy and fond of women

Charming li'l Mdm Zhang; a beautiful face and a big ass

The scholar touches it everyday

Aren't you afraid to make her pregnant?

Miss...

Stop

The rest is even more interesting

Show me, let me look

You want to embarrass me? Alright

I'll embarrass you too

You want to marry my daughter, don't you?

Yes

Alright, you beat up that bastard for me

50 times with a rod

then I'll let my daughter marry you

Really?

Of course

A gentleman never...

...recants on his word

Alright, then I'll flog him fifty times

Alright, then I'll let my daughter marry you

Alright

Attention

Salute

A scholar's argument can't face up to a soldier's might

one stands firm and undaunted on his ground; the other

recites Confucius and puts on moral affectations

Miss has illicit affair, her remarrying creates trouble

Madam Zhang is charming, fascinating and romantic

A marriage is arranged and celebrated

The old scholar starts his romance in old age

The assistant officer is flirtatious

Get the luggage ready to welcome the spouse

What is it? Madam Zhang

I have remarried

Remarried?

You've flogged me 50 times

but I got a woman in reward

You want to go with him?

Madam Zhang, have you forgotten about

the essay on chaste women I promised to write for you

Old Master, we appreciate that

Old Scholar, goodbye

You bastard, don't go

Come on

You old bastard

Confucius says: gentleman wouldn't rob other's property

Sense of propriety, justice, honesty and honor

Rhetoric would not save the scholar against might

What's to look at a pledged vow being redeemed?

Redeeming a vow, what vow?

You must be from elsewhere

Yes, it's my first time here

God Er Ching is really powerful

If one is sick just drink some

holy mixture, what you call...

Magic powder

Right

and one'll be cured

I suppose his parents got well after

praying to God Er Ching

What is God Er Ching like?

How old is he?

It's a small snake, it can become big or small

In my opinion

it's those old Taoists playing tricks

Making it look big at one time and small at the other

Careful of what you say

you'll have retribution for insulting others

How so?

Bao Feng treasury

Wait please

Alright...

Cashier

Two thousand, checked?

Yes

Alright

Withdraw

Yes

Zhu Wa

Mr. Zhu

My name is Zhao

This is my wife

Please count

Count the money

Is God Er Ching really powerful?

Yes, extremely

Qing Feng Taoist temple

God Er Ching Almighty

Holy water

Beat the drums and strike the gongs

Let me tell you about God Er Ching

He is good no matter how you look at it

He is accurate in telling fortunes and is charitable

A girl must offer sacrifice before getting married

A good match to last many years

Burn incense for your marriage suit

You're promised a good wife

and have a baby once you get married

The whole family is blessed with joy

Don't worry if you're sick

any kind of illness could be cured

Consume a pack of Magic powder, and drink holy water

Your sickness will be cured instantly

and you'll never be sick again

It's all written in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Da Ching is the elder brother of Er Ching

Da Ching disappeared

Subsequently Xiao Ching panicked

The Emperor led the expedition through the mountains

Er Ching stopped the carriage

The royal guards could not make him retreat

The emperor saw it was a snake

and was frightened

The wind swept across the mountains

and the emperor was frightened

Look at this big snake

My god

Once 'God' was mentioned, the snake disappeared

This was the story of Er Ching

Hope you'll burn incense every year and pay respects

Good...

Is your surname Lee?

Yes

You are Three-legged Lee?

Yes

I have heard of you...

Please don't kick me

I can't take even one kick

Always grants requests

No need to hold me up

look how healthy I am

God Er Ching is really powerful

Indeed

He's great

Come, look

Sir, your name?

I am Zhu Wa

This must be...

My wife

Your name please?

Lu Shu Zhen

Pleased to meet you

Your accent indicates you're from elsewhere

From Shanghai

So what's your line of business?

I have a shop selling cloth

Shanghai? It's right, let me take a look

So accurate?

Mr. Zhu, what else would you like to know?

How about if I run some business here?

What business?

Jewellery business

Alright, let me look

Right

Roses

How much?

Ten pieces

So expensive? Seven pieces

There are two more big roses

Eight big ones

Roses

I'll sell to you, even if it means losing

Small profits trading

Seems smaller

However, it's as big as this ravine and that ravine

You want a big one, this is big, can you afford it?

Roses...two more big roses

Mom

You are...

How come you're here?

Have you got the wrong person?

It's usual for you to

quarrel with your daughter-in-law sometimes

Why have you left without a word?

What are you talking about?

Mom, be magnanimous

What for? Shu Zhen

Come over, apologize to Mom

Mom, please accept her apology

Mom, forgive me, it won't happen again

You're mistaken

Mom, why'd you still say that?

Come back with me

No, but...

Mom

Where's my money?

Mom, what do you need that for?

Take out the money, take it out

Are you trying to cheat?

Quiet...stop it

Quiet, alright?

Business at the temple is good today

Apart from your share from the temple

I'll give you my share too

Everyone gets a portion and a half, okay?

What?

I almost became lame and just to get this small amount

We'll quit

Let's talk about this...

Two portions...

Two shares? That's too much

Too much? I'll quit

Damn it, stop pretending

Alright, two shares

This moustache is of no use, let's go get the money

Go...get our share...

Let's go

You acted well today

Of course

Damn it, you see the wound on my forehead

I acted best

Flowers need their leaves to enhance their beauty

Without us how can that be so

Alright...everybody is having a hard day

I acted well, right?

Of course you are different

Hands off

Five

Come...

Winner takes all

Wasting efforts in kowtowing

What do you mean?

They have all been deducted by those old Taoists

What do you mean?

What? Let's gamble

There's gain and loss in gambling, what do you want?

What? Want a fight?

Bastard, foul mouth

Alright...only good friends will gamble together

You are all against me

Tomorrow is the day of festival, let's rest early

Keep your spirits alert for the Golden Eye

Don't worry, sit behind the Golden Eye

looking at the money coming, anyone would be alert

Let me win

Almost hit

Try again

Give me one more cent to try again

Come over here

I am not playing anymore

No more money

It never hits the target

So boring

How so? Today is a good day

If you hit the hole, you'll be lucky all year round

That Taoist has good fortune

Look, so many coins on the ground

They'll get rich by this

Don't speak nonsense

It's said that those old Taoists

are living gods

Really?

Sure, they will sit under the bridge

during these ten days without any food or drink

I don't believe this

I have made my wish

Once you hit the Golden Eye

You'll have good luck and good fortune all year round

Buy a lottery ticket and you'll get the first prize

New house and a new car would really be good

And then marry three wives

Immoral

Change some coins please

Change some coins to hit the Golden Eye

You can change them over there

Such a long queue

Please help

Yes, please help

We are from the same family long time ago

You three are also Lu?

No, we are Wu

How can Wu be of the same family then?

The names look alike when written

Yes

The character 'mouth' in our names

could not be the same

No resemblance at all

If it resembled,

then it'd become like your "Lu"

Resemble?

Yes...Take it

Thank you

My name is not Lu Bu, it's Lu Pi

but many people call me Lu Bu

In fact, I look like Zhang Fei

Zhang Fei is not bad; powerful yet sensitive

Add the character 'mouth' to Lu it becomes Pin

If you don't try, how would you know what it's like

That'r right

I'd gladly change, but don't throw money to it

Those old Taoists cheat

Cheat?

Don't people say they never eat cooked food?

They eat everything heartily

If not, what else would they eat?

But you speak well about the Golden Eye

I do this because of money

They give you money to do it?

Without money how am I going to survive?

Let me tell you

I'm like the publicity manager of a movie company

Even if it's not good, I've still to go on praising it

Not everyone is a big star or a great director, right!

That one

Big roses, come on...

You are snappy

You are the kind to get married to

That's right, let's make friends

As friends, lips to lips is not sufficient

it must be heart to heart

Really?

Why should I lie to you? You've got the Golden Eye

What are your names please?

I'm Wu Yue Ying, she's Xiao Ying

I'm Feng Ying

Yue Ying, Xiao Ying, Feng Ying, three Yings

Tonight

we will try 'three against one'

What? Three at the same time, how can that be?

I mean, have a drink together

Stop having crooked thoughts

I've thought of an erotic fantasy

It's just like Guang He Lou

Guang He Lou?

These stairs are crooked

like the Guang He Lou Cinema

Really? This used to be a cinema indeed;

but a small one at that

Showing 'Three combats with Lu Bu'?

No, sing 'Fortune comes to us all'

What good fortune?

Without good fortune, naturally you can't see

What a group of dummies!

Isn't this good fortune?

The whole household?

C'mon be frank, there isn't anyone else here, right?

No outsider? What do we live on then?

What is it? Go

I think it's not too convenient

What do you mean?

Don't worry, they won't mind

I'd better leave

Don't go...come...

Look clearly, anybody here?

It's beautiful

What's this?

Stage

Stage?

Have you ever watched modern drama?

Life is like a stage

I understand, but this is not the stage of life

What is it then?

It's the stage to produce people

You are bad

How disgusting!

Are you really going to sing Three combats with Lu Bu?

No, three stars and a moon

Three stars and a moon?

You girls are the three stars. where's the moon?

Stop pretending

Where's the moon? Where is it?

It's shining at my window, shining on my bed

Mom, sit for a while

Mom, this is Mr. Zhao

-Old Madam -Mr. Zhao

Come, pour some tea for Mrs Zhu

How much?

Three thousand

Not bad

Stop saying...coming...

Old Lu

Stop saying

Old Lu, no work today?

There's no rush, it's just after the festival

Old Lu, there's a show, would you be watching?

Yes

Three women and a man

A rare opportunity

A rare opportunity indeed

Really?

Of course

Alright, I'll watch, I'd rather take a rest today

Please count it

Okay

Go and get the stuff, I'll wait here with Mom

Alright, three thousand? Not eight thousand?

How muddle-headed I am

Oh, heavens!

Hurry, it's five minutes past, they are waiting

Alright...

Hurry

Please check

Give the money to Mrs. Zhu first

Alright...

I'm so sorry

Hurry, you're late

I'll go with you

Mom, wait for us here

See you later

See you later

Old Madam, do you smoke?

No, thank you...

Here?

What? You've been here?

No

So, please go

Up there

Up there?

This is for doing a show

Show?

A stage

Over there...

Look, here

Quiet

No match?

I thought it's a regular customer, how come...

Yes

His mom is still here

Maybe Mr Zhu has got the wrong one

That's right

Let's go

Any outsiders?

What do we live on if there's no outsiders?

That's not convenient

Why not? Convenient for yourself and for the others

Well...

Well what, go...

So beautiful

What's this?

Stage

Stage?

Life is like a stage

Life is like a stage

A stage?

What's on today?

Three stars and a moon

Three stars and a moon

It's here...

Good...hurry

Old Madam, you said you live at no.18, Ba Tao Bay

When I got there, they said they've moved

They said it was a short lease

How am I supposed to know?

You don't?

Hey, this old lady looks familiar

Seems like we've seen her somewhere

Maybe at the Qing Feng Temple

That's right...Qing Feng Temple...

That's right, I was that beggar

Oh yes, it was a set-up

You are cheating people

How come you partnered with Zhu to cheat people?

That's right, why?

What? I partnered with them to cheat people?

Now listen, I've been cheated all throughout my life

but I've never cheated anyone

Yes, I am a beggar

but I don't steal

Zhu took me as his mother

On my part, I was happy to have some free meals

not realising that I've been duped

Now it turns out that I've become a swindler

Alright, do whatever you like

Alright...bad luck for me

What? Bad luck for you?

No, not that simple

What is it...

Look who is here?

Who?

How vigorous

He was great the other day

Sorry...

Aren't you blind?

Sorry...

My fault, sorry...

You again

Sorry, I deserve to be beaten

Hurry and go

Sorry...

Oh, I'm sorry

Didn't know you're in the same trade

How dare you try to find a living here

with such lousy tricks

That's right, I'm indeed a novice

You know, there are many a hidden expert in this place

Must know some tricks before making a living here

Yes...

Hold it

What's wrong with you?

So disgusting, jostling around

What's he doing?

What's going on?

Great

What's this?

A pair of pants

Pants? Where did you get them?

Pink one

Silver

It's him

And a green one too

Hats off to you in admiration

Don't look down on these three Wu family girls

They got a remarkable trick

A trick? Far from this, all fascinating

So you can't do it alone

you should have three partners at least

Then do you have partners?

Of course

What is it?

You two...

I am sorry

No need to find again

I'll give it back to you

Thank you

Great...The three of you are just great

About larceny, Confucius says

There are numerous kinds of bad guys

Some follow the wind, some are blind

Some have lots of desires, some adore gods

Ghost is ghost, human is human

Some are for real

Some are fake

Don't be misled by her million-dollar look

He looks solemn but is indeed a hypocrite

An Impostor, truly a villain

After all, what's propriety, justice, honesty & honor?

Never mind what Confucius says;

These are nothing but...larceny!
