wasted money on keeping him fat?

Correct.

So why not beat us to death?

What a hero,

but I won't be so stupid as to kill you.

Help us do one thing and we'll forgive you.

Shush!

Don't go, you bastards. Stop!

Brother Sing, I want to pee.

- You can pee later.

I'll kill you!

Go Fatty!

Damn you bastards. I'll kill you.

How dare you!

It's not fair.

Don't go there.

Throw him to his death!

The sword!

Go to hell.

Hurry up, let's go.

You've got what it takes.

From now on, you can be in my gang.

I'll treat you to a feast tonight.

Great!

Here comes the food.

Great.

Isn't it good?

- It's great.

Don't eat too much.

You know, fat people shouldn't be in gangs.

So, why don't you go on a diet?

Eat less. Why don't you listen to me?

Damn you b*tch.

You take my food and treat those little bastards.

I wanna kill you. Don't run away.

He wants to kill us. Go now.

I want to burn you to death.

Yip Cheung, this way, come quickly.

Fatty how dare you.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You deserve it.

Put out the fire.

I'll get my revenge, you b*tch.

Help! Come and put the fire out.

You naughty boy, watching people bathing.

Have you been here for a long time?

You've been sleeping for ages.

You watched me bathe when you were small,

didn't you?

But now you're grown up and you're scared of me.

I didn't watch you bathing.

I know you watched once.

Actually you have grown up.

Just tell me what you want.

Don't get me wrong...

Here you are!

Hey, I'm helping you now.

Don't tell her the truth.

You're useless. Only fit for drinking.

Tell her you love her. Today is a good day.

If you don't, don't blame me.

If we're friends, keep your mouth shut.

As you're a friend I'll tell her for you.

Sister Ko.

What's the matter. Shy?

No.

You are getting worse, you always get hurt.

It's getting more and more serious.

You won't stay with me otherwise.

What did you say?

There is a rumour about the Evil Claw.

It kills a person in a thousand seconds.

Have you heard of it?

Lui Heung Chue's got it now.

You're really lucky.

The Evil Claw has injured your left arm.

When you recover, your left hand will be useless.

It is the fate of every killer.

Don't you feel sad?

I am pleased.

I prepare for death with every mission.

Do you know who I do this for?

You're always like this.

Just tell me honestly, what is on your mind.

Suen is a great kung fu master.

He is difficult to handle.

What we have now is sufficient for our future.

Have you ever thought about your future?

Future?

We'll be the masters of the martial arts world.

What then?

After that nothing else is important.

You are still a woman, you should have a husband.

You should be able to understand me

after all these years.

I don't see myself as a woman.

I don't want you to treat me as a woman either.

Remember that.

But you won't tell Sing this.

Tench, pomfret, loach, silurid fish,

sole and carp.

It'll be funny if I can catch any of these.

Brother Sing, time to eat.

How's your fishing going?

I have to cheat again.

What are you doing?

Fishing is... really... difficult.

It's cold.

Time to eat.

So many dishes. Let's drink some wine.

No don't. You always make me drunk.

Now I will make myself drunk.

Hey...

If you're drunk, you can't stop me leaving.

If I don't leave,

how can I do business and provide for both of us?

You know I always worry about you?

You're a straightforward man.

You don't know how horrible

the world of martial arts is.

My dad was a kung fu master. He was killed.

You always come back safe.

It's thanks to my father's blessing.

Don't you agree?

Sure.

What's that smell. Did you fart?

See.

Smelly bean curd, I love it.

It stinks, but it's delicious.

It proves you can't judge on appearances.

Where is the fish I caught today?

Here it is.

Oh, it smells good.

Be smart in business

and you won't end up a dead fish like this.

What should I do then?

You should be vicious.

But, most important of all you should have this.

It looks like bean curd.

It's pig's brains,

that means you should use your brain.

That's right.

My God, please bless my husband

so he will be smart and make more money.

Then all women will be fond of him

and be seduced by him... Oh, no!

No, forget the things I just mentioned.

I'll start from the very beginning.

My God, please bless my husband.

Be safe in this trip. Don't be framed by rascals.

Have a nice trip and come back soon.

Most important of all, don't be courted

by other girls and stay loyal to me.

Butterfly, what have you put in my luggage?

It's so heavy.

Why are there so many books?

These are the secret books

which you forbid me to see.

You said, you depended on them for business.

I never said that.

You're right,

these are the books I need for business.

If you feel it's heavy just leave it.

No, it's not too heavy.

Where is my sword?

Where did you put my sword?

What's the use of taking the sword with you?

It's for the sake of appearances

and it's useful to carry something.

It can be used as a stick.

I can cut fruit with it, and...

maybe fight with it as well.

Let me think,

what I should buy you as a souvenir?

Cosmetics?

No.

Silk garments?

No, too kitsch.

Any hints?

This new product...

A shovel?

No, it's for women. Foreign women love it.

Thousands of Chinese women find them attractive.

That's great. It must be wonderful.

Look.

This is called a bra.

And these are called underpants.

Bra and underpants.

Let me tell you.

These two things give ladies the perfect figure.

Men find them so attractive

that they are loyal to the women who wear them.

Ko has a nice figure... She must use these.

That's great.

Remember to buy me these.

What a pretty moon tonight.

I don't want the moon to go.

Because when it goes,

it means it's time for you to leave me.

Can you cancel this trip?

I don't want to leave you.

But this is something we have no control over.

It is confusing.

Like when we wake up

and can't remember a dream we've just had.

Do you understand?

Sure I do.

Don't think I don't understand.

Are you not leaving?

You're really smart. But wrong.

But I promise you I will come back soon,

very soon.

Keep your promise.

Butterfly, I am leaving now.

Try not to miss me. I'll miss you a lot.

And don't worry about me,

or else I'll end up worrying about you.

You should remember not to treat Ko as your maid.

Learn how to sew if you have time.

Don't bother her.

Also, don't ever offend her over silly things.

Never offend her.

Get up early in the morning.

And make sure you eat properly.

You should control your diet.

I don't want to see a pig when I get back.

And don't be such a big mouth. Stop lying.

Don't trick Brother Yip.

Always remember to wash every day.

You are a girl, be good and don't sit like that.

Don't talk to your doll,

they'll think you're mad.

You have a lot of bad habits

but don't hate yourself.

I have a lot of bad habits too.

We are two of a kind.

It's dawn. I have to go now.
