I can knock you down with one technique.

You're kidding.

I'll bet 100 dollars.

- Ready? - Come!

We'll do it again next time.

Thanks.

How many in your party?

Is Sze-To here?

Sze-To is busy.

I'll go get him. Please have a seat.

This way.

1O again!

It's 10 again.

Drink up.

You lost. It's 10.

Anything to drink?

- Whisky on the rocks. - Ok.

It's always 10.

You've been losing all night.

Sze-To, someone's here for you.

Where you going? You have 8 more glasses!

It's Karaoke hour.

We start with table 6.

Please come to the stage.

Sorry everyone, Sze-To has a gig to do.

- He'll join you later. - Finish the drinks first!

This round is on the house.

Be sure to come back!

Sze-To.

I'm Tony. I practice Judo too.

I want to fight you.

Not you.

Sorry...

Sze-To...

Shit!

Shit!

It's only dislocation.

Happens to me all the time. 1-month rest will do it.

- I recommend this doctor... - Shit!

Does it hurt that much?

Thanks.

Leave! You jerk!

When are you going to pay up?

It's been over 6 months!

I haven't received any rent.

First you said you'll do bank transfer.

Next you said you'll see me in person but never showed up.

The checks you gave me bounced.

The ring you pawned me was fake.

I showed it to my friends.

And the color fell off! Screw you!

What's your problem?

Anybody here?

Anybody?

What?

I want to audition.

What audition?

Aren't you hiring singers?

Yes.

Sing me a song.

What time is it?

1:30

What?

What did you say?

You're not coming? Dislocation?

How did you get into a fight?

Tony? Who's Tony?

What about tonight? Forget it.

I practice Judo too. I want to fight you.

How did I do?

Got a minute?

Yes.

Come. Give a hand.

How did I do?

Got a minute?

Yes!

Come. Give a hand,

What's your name?

Tony.

Thank you...

What's your name?

Mona.

Thank you...

Tony.

You'll fight me when this is done.

OK...

Don't worry. It's nothing.

Do you play video games?

The fighting kind.

What?

Doesn't matter.

No problem.

We'll take care of it.

Do I have the job?

It's taken care of.

Stop the bus.

Stop the bus.

You pay this time.

Bastard! What is this?

Die!

Call Deadbeat.

Scum!

Let's duel.

We need coins.

You pay first.

I'll pay you back.

Change all.

Move faster, dumb-ass.

Can't you duck?

Your brain must be short-circuited.

Boss, Deadbeat said it's almost ready.

What's almost ready?

Almost dead is more like it. Nonsense.

What are you really?

You stink like a pig! I'll kick your ass!

You're not going to win any rounds.

Better off being a Spam, fatty!

What's so exciting?

Are you any good?

Let's duel.

Think I'm scared?

Do you know how to play?

Brother Keung, Brother Chiu... Sorry, Brother Savage.

What's wrong with you?

Calm down. Are you on drugs?

Red button is punch. Green button is kick.

The money's all here.

Wait.

Red button is punch. Green button is kick.

You're so stupid.

How many minutes late?

Sorry, Brother Savage.

I'll go now.

Hold there.

Wait.

Next time make sure you're on time.

Go!

Sze-To, recognize me?

Recognize me?

- Yes. - You really do?

So who am I? Say it.

Don't recognize me? But I recognize you.

Your nickname was Judo Golden Boy.

Recognize me?

- Yes. - You do?

So who am I? Say it.

Don't recognize me? But I recognize you.

I used to practice Judo. I've fought you once.

Tea time.

How did I do?

Give me some reward.

Sure...

Thanks.

Thanks.

You promised to fight me.

Sure...

He's suffocating.

He's suffocating.

He's suffocating.

Are you all right?

This is yours.

- What's your business? - Barbecue.

Good luck, boss!

Have a smoke!

No. 4. 50 thousand.

Let's go.

- Why? - Lost everything.

You lost everything?

All of your money?

Dealer 9 Dots.

I was on a winning streak.

He ruined it!

Where's your money?

They belong to me now.

Give me. I need to play or I'll be in trouble tonight.

- Give me... - It's mine!

- Money is mine! - Give it!

Sorry.

Do I have the job?

What's my salary?

800 dollars a set. Each set is 6 hours.

How about 3-hour sets?

- They'll be totaled up. - Any over-time pay?

How much per hour?

Give me an exact figure.

We'll talk about it later.

What's the matter? What's wrong with you?

Got more money on you?

Go to an ATM machine.

I need to pay up my debt tonight.

So why gamble your money away?

Got more money on you?

I'll start working tonight.

I'll stay until you take my challenge seriously.

Do I start tonight?

Give a hand.

Rat, I've got some cheap booze for you.

They're clean. 3O minutes.

Carry them to back alley.

You'll have to pay me first.

Go straight.

Sze-To, the manager, Savage and your master are here for you.

Mona, your agent and Savage are here for you.

Tony, Savage is here for you.

Boss.

$0?

You can't leave without a reason.

Let's duel.

The money...

I invested a lot in you.

You forced me into prostitution.

Master.

Think I'm sacred?

- Let's play. - I don't play.

I'm Jing.

I play Sanshiro Sugata, you play Higaki.

I only put you in movies. What prostitution?

You forced me to do dirty movies.

- Know Fifteen-Twenty? - No.

- Know Two Brothers? - No.

The Dojo doesn't attract new students.

- Upper nudity? - No way.

So which game can you play?

- Stone paper scissors. - I want someone to fight the tournament.

- Partial nudity? - No way.

...to make a name for the Dojo.

- The money is short. - But you signed the contract.

- I want to be a singer. - I'm working on it.

Stone paper scissors.

What will I tell the shareholders?

Your numbers have to add up.

- I don't have money. - Then come back and finish the movie.

You forced me into prostitution!

- Wait. - I'll think of something...

The shareholders want to call the police.

You're not fulfilling your contract.

I'll have to find your dad in Tainan.

This is from last time. It's yours.

Thanks. Here you go.

Lend me same money.

I practice Judo too. Here's the collateral.

Jing, don't play with your drink.

Again. Stone paper scissors.

I'm getting old, and Jing's condition hasn't improved.

Can you help me, Sze-To?

Sze-To?

Here's the collateral. I'll go get money.

Please wait.

Please wait.

Sorry...

Got cigarette?

2 dollars a smoke.

I don't have a place to stay. I'll sleep here.

Can I stay overnight?

Sze-To.

Sze-To.

Sze-To.

What?

I'm sorry.

Mona.

Mona.

Mona.

- Who? - I'm sorry.

Sze-To.

Sze-To.

Sze-To.

- What? - I'm sorry.

Gotta pee...

You filthy couple.

Where's your self-respect?

Too cheap to even get yourselves a room?

What's wrong with you?

You scum.

Tea time.

They're mine.

This is yours.

Where's mine?

Surveillance video.

Need money?

Don't you recognize me?

We knew each other.

Just tell me what you need.

So what now?

I'm lost face. What should I do?

What do you have to say?

Say it.

Say it.

Storage room is out of alcohol. Are you doing your job?

Refill the supply.

Bastard, I'm talking here.

Will you do it, Sze-To?

Bastard, I'm talking here.

Mona, where's my money?

You forced her into prostitution!

2 years ago, you never showed up for the match.

It's a pity I couldn't fight you.

But today...

You're not a worthy opponent.

I'm Jing.

I'm Fatty.

I play Sanshiro Sugata, you play Higaki.

He is really good...

I am Kong.

I only used one technique.

You've challenged my Dojo before.

Come Again.

Please register your name at the office first.

Thanks.

No. 48.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

- I can sing many songs. - No. 49.

Chinese songs, English songs...

You're not within our age requirement.

Please give me a chance.

"The Judo Championships"

"Master Cheng"

Wise up, four-eye.

You're probably the worse student in class.

I left home 30 minutes early.

But a car accident held up the traffic.

I took the subway...

But the signal system broke down.

I came here on foot.

Sorry, Brother Savage.

The money's all here.

Wait.

I'm going now, Brother Savage.

Wait.

You're a lousy opponent, four-eye.

I beat you!

Stop crying!

Act like a man!

Leave.

A new scam. Wearing puppet suits.

Open it.

Need money?

Here you go.

Tea time.

Do you recognize my master?

Sure. Where's the restaurant?

The corner ahead. I'll wait here.

Over here!

Sit.

I'm Jing.

I play Sanshiro Sugata, you play Higaki.

He said you'd come in yourself.

Careful it's hot.

Any rice or noodle to go with this?

For an extra charge.

Forget it then.

It's been a while we ate together.

I didn't think I'd make it.

But I'm getting used to the training.

I'm in great condition. I am confident.

The commitment makes me feel younger.

The match is tomorrow.

Jing, don't play with your drink.

You only have to buy me this meal.

Come see me fight if you have time, cheer me on.

What's your business?

Barbecue.

No. 4 tiles!

Let's see your hand!

100 thousand. He's lucky.

- More bets? - You should stop.

Next round.

Bad hand... Bad hand...

Let's see your hand!

One more round!

We should go.

We should go.

You have over 400 thousand.

The pool is 500 thousand.

One more game. Bet it all!

This is the decisive round!

Let's see your hand!

Stop! Thief!

Go after them!

The money...

I'm sorry, boss...

Sorry...

Need to go to a hospital?

Just buy me a medicated wine.

Here's 28 thousand. We'll split.

Forget it. You can't go back to the parlor anyway.

I'm looking for ways to go to Japan.

I can't become a singer in Hong Kong.

I hope to make it in Japan.

What's so funny?

What are you laughing at?

I can do it.

I'm cute. I have a good body.

They'll love me.

- Pay attention everyone. - Yes!

I just fought Kong.

He was really something.

His technique was impossible to defeat.

What happened to your hand?

Dislocated.

Why go around picking fights?

You probably won't believe me.

I have a hereditary disease.

Glaucoma is the cause. I'm losing sight in both eyes.

I'll go blind eventually.

You better fight Sze-To soon then.

Koka!

Waza-Ari!

Ippon! Match is over!

What's his condition?

He fell unconscious after being thrown to the ground.

You can leave this here.

You can leave this here.

We don't need to bring this.

Mr. Sze-To, we'll arrange a temporary shelter for him.

He'll receive daytime training.

Then he'll be assigned to a permanent home.

Let's go, Jing.

Sze-To, I came up with a new technique.

Using only one hand.

I've checked every record company in Tokyo.

I can't help you.

How about film companies? TV stations?

I can act too!

I'm sorry.

How about candid portraits?

Swimsuit? Nudity?

- I can't help you. - How about porn?

I can't help you.

- Please. Is this enough? - No...

No.

Jing, you can't leave the shelter like this. Go back.

Give me the pamphlets.

We'll go back now.

Jing!

It's mealtime.

I'm hungry-

There's no food. We'll eat outside.

I'm hungry-

We'll go eat now.

Thanks.

One hand? One technique?

100 dollars.

I'll raise it to 500!

Wait...

Thanks.

It's arranged. I'll fight Kong tomorrow.

You're acting as if there's nothing wrong with you.

- We're on. - Your eyes.

What's wrong with my eyes?

You said you were going blind.

I made it up.

I like to challenge people into fights.

Pure and simple.

But people always suspect there are other reasons.

So I just made up something.

Strangely this excuse got me more opponents.

Have you seen my father?

He's not around.

I'm Jing.

I play Sanshiro Sugata, you play Higaki.

Jing, don't play with your drink.

Eat.

I want to fight you.

I'm Jing.

I play Sanshiro Sugata, you play Higaki.

I want to fight you, Judo Lord.

Bastard, now you recognize me.

You owe me a lot.

You won't pay back in a lifetime.

I'll give you a discount.

Boss, I want to fight you.

Took care of the account yet?

No.

Again!

Get up! Again!

Same technique again?

Yes.

Your agent came by.

I paid him the damages.

I found another agent. I want to go to Japan.

I want to become famous there.

You said the same thing about Taipei.

You also said the same thing about Hong Kong.

Now it's Japan.

I'm not afraid of losing.

But I want to try my best and leave no regrets.

I had the same ideal when I was younger.

I didn't imagine the kind of success I'd have today.

But... I lost a wife.

I don't want to lose a daughter too.

If... you don't succeed in Japan,

where will you go next?

Thanks.

Good-bye.

Mona, don't go!

Don't, Mister.

Let go of me!

Let go!

Take care of yourself, dad!

You too!

Take care!

I'll make it in Japan.

I'll make it in Japan!

Am I strong enough to defeat Kong's technique?

I want to fight Kong.

Why suddenly the urge?

You probably won't believe me.

I have a hereditary disease.

Glaucoma is the cause.

I'm losing sight in both eyes.

I'll go blind eventually.

Letter for you.

"I'll buy you dinner after I become famous."

"Mona. 2004 summer. Tokyo."

Sze-To wants to finish the match from 2 years ago.

Please give him a chance.

Please give him a chance.

Bow.

Fight!

I lost.

End of match!
