Big Trouble In Little China Page #5

to get in out of the rain.

- He lives here?

- He owns the block. He's a rich guy.

- Rich? This place is a dump, Wang.

- To Western eyes.

The stuff in these bottles is priceless.

Well, all set?

Yeah. Ready when you are, Egg.

- Jack next.

- Where does it go?

- Down. Lo Pan is down there.

- Down where?

- Where is the universe?

- Come on, Jack. Don't be afraid.

Afraid? Are you kidding?

- Where in the hell are we?

- Underneath Chinatown.

That is not water.

Black blood of the earth.

- Do you mean oil?

- I mean black blood of the earth.

A thousand years ago, huge earthquakes

turned the world upside down.

Many normal people were killed.

Many unnatural people roam free

to commit great offences against the gods.

They have survived the burning blade,

tamed the savage heart.

I will marry both women.

Prepare them.

What is that?

- It sounds like...

- Something breathing underwater?

Yeah.

You will come out no more!

What? What'll come out no more?

Come on.

Dammit!

Miao Yin?

Hey, Wang!

- Egg!

- Jack, come on!

It's OK, Jack. Wing Kong storeroom.

Emergency provisions.

We're inside Lo Pan's domain.

Christ!

Later.

We're getting close. Real close.

And now for some more bad news. Ready?

- This gets worse? Come on!

- 2,258 years ago

the First Sovereign Emperor...

He subjugated Lo Pan, made him of no flesh.

- Only an evil dream.

- Get to the goddamn point, Egg.

In order to be whole again, he had to find

this certain girl of his prophecy,

and marry her to appease the God of the East.

But to appease the emperor,

he had to kill her.

Kill her? No!

Well, let's go. What are we talkin'

Chinese history for when we gotta get...

We are getting ready to strike the final blow.

- If we reach Lo Pan...

- When we reach Lo Pan.

...then the power in this flask

will be our only hope

against the Bodhisattva of the underworld,

the ultimate evil spirit.

Yes. Only a dream can kill a dream.

I've waited for this for a long time, Jack.

The evil dream will die.

Wing Kong outside.

- Were they real?

- Yeah. Dressed for Lo Pan's wedding.

What's in the flask? Magic potion?

- Yeah.

- Thought so. Good. Do we drink it?

- Yeah.

- Good. Thought so.

I am the past,

come back to haunt you, Lo Pan!

My God, no! Please!

What is that? Don't tell me.

A guardian. What it sees, Lo Pan knows.

They have returned.

And this time they are not alone.

Egg Shen is with them.

Little bastard sorcerer has brought them

through the Bog of the Dead Trees.

Egg Shen?

Egg Shen! You have come

a long ways to find me, but it is too late.

There are two girls with green eyes,

and I will marry them both.

And then I will sacrifice Gracie Law

to appease my emperor,

and live out my earthly pleasures

with Miao Yin.

That's right, Egg Shen.

The best of two worlds.

You never know till you try.

Let's get outta here.

You know what I don't like?

Where is everybody?

Preparing for Lo Pan's wedding.

We should not be in here, not this easily.

It's a setup, I'm tellin' ya.

Lo Pan is about to take his queen.

He's too busy to care.

So where is he, Egg? Where?

- Jack, here!

- What?

- Hollow.

- F*** it.

- I know. It's an elevator. It only goes down.

- Yeah, look.

- Hey, all right!

- Time for the medicine!

- Cheers!

- This does what again, exactly?

Huge buzz.

Good!

You can see things no one else can see,

do things no one else can do.

- Real things?

- As real as Lo Pan.

- What more can a guy ask for?

- The six-demon bag!

Terrific. A six-demon bag.

Sensational. What's in it, Egg?

Wind! Fire! All that kind of thing.

Here's to the army and navy

and the battles they have won.

Here's to America's colours,

the colours that never run.

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

I feel pretty good. You know, I'm not...

I'm not scared at all. I just feel kind of...

- I feel kind of invincible.

- Me too.

- I got a very positive attitude about this.

- Good. Me too.

Is it gettin' hot in here, or is itjust me?

Ch'ing-ti! Ch'ing-ti!

Great Ch'ing-ti, equal with heaven,

come into our presence

and witness this holy matrimony.

- Miao Yin.

- And the ultimate evil spirit.

And now, my beloved disciples,

the moment of truth.

The needle of love.

- I'd like to shoot that bastard.

- Not until he's married.

- Then he's flesh.

- Then it's too late.

Ch'ing-ti!

You, who shake the heavens

and descend from the east,

all I ask in order to conquer this universe

is that you grant me flesh and blood.

Yes! Guide my hand

as I insert this needle into Miao Yin.

Let him complete the ceremony.

Then he is ours for certain!

Come, my love. Give it to me.

It's working!

I'm mortal!

Look out, guys!

No way!

Come, Miao Yin, it won't hurt.

Sh*t!

Take her.

Peasant magic!

You never could beat me, Egg Shen.

- It's me.

- Are you all right?

- Never mind me. We gotta get Lo Pan.

- Where is he?

Wang!

Come on.

Pull it apart. Come on!

- Where does this go?

- Up. To Lo Pan's office. It's cooler up there.

- From there we can...

- Do you have a gun, I hope?

- I have a knife.

- A knife? He's 12 feet tall!

Seven. Don't worry.

I can handle him. I took something.

I can see things no one else can see.

- Why are you dressed like that?

- I was getting married.

He was marrying both of us,

just because my eyes are green too.

Oh, God. Is this really happening?

- Look into my eyes.

- No! Never!

I have suffered so much pain and agony.

Look at me!

No! I don't understand. I don't belong to you!

No, you don't. You belong to Ch'ing-ti.

I must sacrifice you,

but I love you and I need you.

No!

Here, take her! Take the b*tch!

- Master, you are flesh!

- I am?

I am! It worked!

Ch'ing-ti is appeased.

Now we must satisfy the First

Sovereign Emperor by destroying this!

Not so fast, gentlemen.

Is it too much to ask, Thunder?

Kill him! For me!

It won't solve anything, Dave. Too many

people have been droppin' like flies already

and where's that gettin' us? Nowhere, fast.

Nah, you know what Jack Burton

always says at a time like this?

- Who?

- Jack Burton. Me!

Old Jack always says

"What the hell?"

It's a good knife.

Goodbye, Mr Burton.

It's all in the reflexes.

Wang!

You all right?

- Hey, thanks.

- Wait a minute.

I don't think he's gonna stop!

Come on!

- We got a problem.

- There!

Come on, Jack!

Jump, Jack!

- This whole place is melting!

- Hello! Hello!

- How'd you get up there?

- It wasn't easy! Stand aside!

Take it away!

Hang onto this.

Watch out, Wang Chi!

Go for it, Wang!

- Go!

- Come on, Jack, hurry!

There's my truck... My truck!

Get in.

- They took the key.

- Do you have a spare?

Course I do, but it's underneath the...

- What was that?

- 6.9 on the Richter scale. Hang on!

- Sorry.

- Don't you know how to drive this thing?

Relax.

Stop! Red light!

Take it easy. OK, we made it.

Yeah.

Look at that.

Doesn't that make you feel good?

Terrific.

The light's green. You can go.

- What are you doin', Jack?
