KL Hog!

KL Hog!

Long time no see.

Let's

Thank you so much, Mr. Sun!

You've done great service to the people!

Not at all.

After 49 days,

the Pig Demon will be reduced to ashes.

I know you have your own demon-taming beliefs,

so I'm handing these two over to you now.

Thank you for your help!

Are you tired?

You should go home and get some rest.

Didn't I tell you?

When a girl closes her eyes,

she wants you to kiss her.

Miss Duan, I think I can help you!

Mr. Sun!

Sorry... I know I'd treated you badly before.

But I've changed.

I've decided to become a gentle,

faithful wife and mother.

Would you accept me now?

What are you doing?

I've decided to marry you!

This represents my love for you.

Why are you looking at me?

Where else can I freakin' go?!

Ignore him. Are you willing?

This Infinite Flying Ring

grows roots in your flesh.

You will never be able to take it off.

What are you doing?!

I don't love you.

I don't want to marry you.

If I can't remove the ring,

I'll remove my finger!

I get it now.

I won't bother you anymore.

I spent three days

putting your book back together.

But I can't read very well

so I made a mess of it.

I don't want it.

She's gone...

Too bad.

Miss Duan has such a great body.

How do you know?

I saw it with my eyes.

Why didn't I see it?

Must be because you're blind.

Mr. Sun, thanks again for helping me.

Goodbye.

No need to rush off... leaving so soon?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine. What could possibly be wrong?

Goodbye, goodbye!

Mr. Chen...

...is the moon full tonight?

Very full.

That's wonderful!

The cave opening's blocked by that lotus.

I can't even remember

when I last saw the moon.

Finally, I tricked you!

Oh, it's you!

You really thought

you could buy me off with a banana?!

Actually, the lotus was the real seal

and this is the real me!

You've released me from the seal!

I've finally escaped Buddha's control!

All you did was get out of the cave.

Buddha's still here.

Still here?!

Go to hell!

Put down your hands!

Buddha be praised.

Put them down!

Put them down!

So now, allow me to deliver you to Buddha!

Who's there?!

The legendary King of Demons,

the Monkey King?!

Why are you so short?

He may be short,

but he's more demonic than ever!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

This is worth skipping dinner!

Is this a Peking opera costume?

It's so cute...

So you're always frowning... are you unhappy?

If you're unhappy, I'll play with you!

Didn't we agree that he's mine?!

Same rule. Whoever wins, goes first!

Okay!

Stone, paper, scissors!

Are you upset?

Stop throwing the petals!

Hey, come on!

I'm in a hurry! Let me go first!

Pretending to be an animal, in front of me?!

It's just a crazy monkey!

It deserves to be stepped on!

Today, you will die by my Almighty Foot!

Oh look! Almighty Foot has stepped on a nail!

My foot has been pierced!

My food has been pierced!

Yes, I know!

I know! I can see that! Good!

Quite Please!

Oh. My foot! My foot!

Can I please get some help?

With what?

Moving that foot!

You should have said it sooner.

Why didn't you say it sooner?

You should have said it sooner. Say it!

Why didn't you say it sooner?

Why didn't you say so? Should have said so.

Help me move the foot!

Why didn't you say it sooner?

Move him!

Wow! That wasn't bad. I really had fun today!

Yeah, me too! Of course,

it was all just for fun...

Time for me to go!

Your turn!

I'll kill whoever touches him!

No! Run!

How dare you do this to him?

What do you take me for?

Run! You're no match for him! I beg you!

I'm not going!

What then?!

What did you do to him?!

Don't think I'm so nice!

I've caught you again...

...and you still won't admit you love me?

I love you.

I've loved you...

...from the moment I saw you.

How much?

Very much.

There's never been a day that...

...I don't think about you.

How... long... will you love me?

1,000 years...

10,000 years...

10,000 years...

...that's too long.

Just love me...

...now.

Didn't I tell you?

When a girl closes her eyes,

she wants you to kiss her.

I just destroyed the woman you love.

There's nothing left of her.

How can your Buddha help you now?

You're hurting so much that you want to die!

What can your Buddha do for you now?

The Buddha Sutra

Buddha!

Buddha!

You had me imprisoned for 500 years!

But now I'm free!

And now I will destroy you!

Now how do you feel about

Greater and Lesser Love?

About love between a man and a woman?

Love between a man and a woman...

...is all part of the Greater Love.

Love is neither greater nor lesser.

Having experienced pain,

I can truly understand life's suffering.

Knowing stubbornness, one can let it go.

Knowing what one wants, one can release it.

Now you understand that little 'something'.

Do you now know your mission?

There is suffering in this world.

It's not I who can rescue

the world from hardship

and deliver mankind from misery

That power lies

only in the 22 scripture books in India

Go on your journey

to the West for the scriptures.

It will be full of challenges and demons.

These three each have skills...

...and can protect you at all times.

I hereby grant you

your holy robe and ritual items.

From today, you are a disciple of Buddha.

Your holy name is Tripitaka.

Go forth!
