lf Fly has anything wrong,

he`ll pay for it

lt`s finished!

What`s the matter?

Nothing special! Fly has some problem

and l`m going out now

Would it be dangerous?

No, it`ll be alright,

l`ll be back tonight

Uncle Kwan, so many people here?

Ah-wah, it`s Fly doing wrong

in this case

But, l don`t want to make it big

since we all know each other

Say something good to Tony

& the case will be settled

Tony, no matter what did Fly do,

l`ll punish him according to my rules

So please give me back my brother

Brother? What kind of brother?

ls this a brother?

You like to protect your brother

now you are protecting him!

Making fun of me?

You should protect him if he is good

Now you are just protecting a lump of sh*t

How can you be a Big Brother?

Tony, stop when you

have some advantage

Don`t go too far

Uncle Kwan, save it for yourself!

l`m teaching him to grow up

His gangster can treat me

like this

Where can we stand

in the future then?

l`ll release him surely!

But l must be satisfied

My requirement is low

Just say one sentence l like

l`ll release him

Do you like to hear these words

Do you want your brother?

Ah-wah!

Big Brother

Are you alright?

Can you walk?

Yes, l can

Tell your follower to help him stand

Help him stand

No, l can stand by myself

l can walk by myself

Don`t get near to me

Big Brother! Big Brother!

l tell you two,

this case can`t be settled even

if you bring the highest King

Fly, this case certainly

won`t end up this way

You take this money

And go back to Til-gang Lin

and wait for the case to fade out

l won`t go!

l`ve made a vow

l won`t go back to see my mother

if l do not succeed

OK, l go to Lantau lsland with you

Why do you drive me away

so insistly?

Why? l don`t want you to be

killed tomorrow

when you go out

You know he is just a mad dog

Why don`t you listen to me

not to provoke him?

lt`s him who provoked me,

l didn`t provoke him

Don`t you think l should just about it!

l have the power to play, haven`t l?

Don`t you have the power

to play with him?

lf you have, you won`t be beaten

so heavily and have face swollen up

Yes, l was beaten to

have face swollen

You are blaming me on losing you face,

you can leave me alone

No one force you to speak this

Don`t speak it for fun

l leave you alone now

lf you are safe when

you go out tomorrow

l`ll do anything for you

We all don`t know what

will happen tomorrow

Do you agree?

Let`s go eating out!

Come along!

Beat him!

Fly, l twist your face

l twist you to death

l can plot against you

this time, can`t l?

Don`t beat my Big Brother

Leave him alone. Just beat me up

Not enough?

Let me beat your brother up.

That makes you two pairs

l want you to see

how l fool around your brother

Sh*t

fight back

l, Tony, is very justified

An eye for an eye,

and a tooth for a tooth

Don`t move!

lt`s the most sensitive place of you

l don`t know where will you

eject if you move

Great! l`m lucky this time

Will l still be so lucky next time?

You are so excited

Do you want to join our party?

OK! Come join us! Come on!

You cannot move a little

You will eject on this brother

or that if you move

Don`t let them look down on you?

lf l cannot escape today

You must go back to Til-gang Lin

& never go out again

Tough guy

But whether you are tougher

than this thing

lt`s very hard... very hard...

Very, hard, isn`t it.... very hard isn`t it...

Look at you, b*tch!

Another one collapsed

Damn you! You are pissing!

You should wear him a napkin

before taking him out

What kind of Big Brother are you?

Right! Let your head down

so that you can see your face by the urine

And see why you are such a failure

Then, go back to your motherland

and farm with your Big Brother

Urban road is not suitable for you?

Do you understand?

lt`s alright, alright!

Where... are you going?

l`m letting you lose face

Just treat that you`ve never know me

From now on l have no business

to do with you

Just leave me alone

Cousin

Open the door! Open up!

Open the door!

Hurry up! Open the door!

What`s the matter?

My cousin felt to the ground

& hurt himself

He`s alright. Let him take a rest first

Where have you been last night?

l was staying with cousin

Lock the door when you leave!

Give me a phone if anything happens

She`s coming

Hey, receive guests

l`m sorry

You talk to each other first

Shooting in a police station

won`t cause death penalty

Go to jail for several years

and become a man when you come out!

Now people call you boy,

and they`ll call you ``sir`` tomorrow

lt`s a chance to be famous!

Understanding?

Godfather. l`m afraid!

What? Afraid! You`ve drew the lots

and now you said you afraid

Every colleague will kill you

even if l let you go

Don`t say so much! Keep going!

Godfather, l`m really afraid

Chicken-hearted

Godfather, l`ve got something to talk to you

$23.5 with tin. Here is $30.

No change. Thanks

Ah-site

And the lest of the money is for the

celebratim of your son`s first month

Do you understand?

How can you get the money?

Linsten to me
