Hey

What you had was broken

Got you a new one

Takin' off

Not sleeping yet?

What's going on?

How's school?

Ok, nothing special

Just the way it is

(Notification for Absence without Leave)

l've never asked you to get good grades

All l want is that you graduate

Graduate from high school, that's it

ls that too much to ask?

with the Temple Front

hooligans all the time?

Will there be a future

for you sticking with them?

There's no such thing as future

for someone like me

Say that again

l wouldn't have survived school

if they didn't watch my back

You don't steal, rob,

or do anything unspeakable,

why do you need them to protect you?

What about you?

Aren't you doing the same thing?

We just moved here, and you already

hooked up with the Mainlanders

What kind of mindset's that?

Don't you also

need someone to watch your back?

We're sworn brothers now

l never had any friends since l was little

This is the first time

Happy birthday

How do you know it's my birthday?

l have my way to find out

Let's go celebrate

Move it

How's it?

Take a look

Not bad huh, do you like it?

Thanks

Dragon, big bro

Come, come. Come on in

Woo-hoo! Love birds

Get lost

lgnore them

Mosquito, Mosquito

Drink up

l'll puke if l drink more

Are we brothers or not?

Monk, Mosquito, come on, dance

Hurry up

Get movin'

Let's go

Monkey

Dance with them

No, l can't dance

Hate, love, commotion in my heart

This trap, trap, trap, why me?

Hey, isn't it time to give our

b-day boy the present?

Mosquito

Aren't we going to get some squid soup?

Let's have it to go, you go get it

Oh

Remember to tell the owner it's

for the Temple Front

This way he'll add extra squid, hear me?

OK:

Hi, 5 squid soups to go,

it's for the Temple Front

Five to go, for the Temple Front

Temple Front

Damn Temple Front,

don't run! Knock him dead!

Don't run!

Temple Front! Get him!

Don't go

Kill him!

Wow, they're coming, coming, coming

Wow, super fast, 9 minutes 35 seconds

Mosquito

(The priest undertaking fear

expel ceremony for Mosquito)

Hey, sorry about the squid soups

Should l go get them again?

Get them again?

What you laughing about?

Jeez, you're unbelievable

You almost got killed

and you're going back there again?

Hey Monk, enlighten him

This is the Temple Front, our turf

Monga, Since the Ching Dynasty

to the Japanese Era

has always been

the busiest commercial center of Taipei

lt's like a gold mountain

full of opportunities and dreams

ln places like this,

all kinds of people mixing together

Someone needs to maintain

the order and allocate the interests

That's where a ''Block Boss'' steps in

The streets and lanes are their borders

Each takes care of things big

and small on his own turf

Each protects the civilians on his turf

Some say there are

over 70 block bosses in Monga

And some say over 30

But no one knows

for sure the actual number

Haven't you been asking

why we fight all the time?

You get it now?

Boss Dragon

Anywhere in Monga

mention Dragon's dad's name

No one dares to touch you

Because we, the Temple Front,

are Monga's most powerful

lf you run into those from the Back Alley,

No need to say anything, just hit 'em

Didn't we kick their ass the other day?

And also those at the night market tonight

Dragon Bro

Have a cigarette

No l'm good

Give it to others

Hey Dragon, what's your dad's name?

Didn't l just tell you, Geta (Wooden clogs)

The one that shielded off the sword

with two clogs

Hey Dragon, your dad is really cool

Hi, good day, good day

Boss Geta

Come here, eat

Time to eat lah

Lazy dude shits and pees a lot

You use the toilet whenever it's time to eat

My belly hurts, what can l do?

Hey your kid is big

you should go and register

She wouldn't marry me

Come on, meal time

The kitchen ceiling is still leaking

what did you do to fix it?

Look

Tomorrow,

if l still have to wear

this shower cap when l cook

You'll be the one that's leaking

Ok, ok, take a break

clean up and eat

Wow, braised pork

Oi, watch out for the hygiene,

not with your hands

Come and eat

Come on, eat lah

Come and eat

ls this the way of the gangster?

Not exactly what l imagined

This, is the real Taiwanese gangster

Vulgar and powerful

Ma'am

Mom

No, l'm good, you go ahead

Get you some rice?

No, l am fed up

l just lost 16,000

to that Mei-ji b*tch

lf l don't get it back next time

along with the interest

l'll write my name backwards

Mom, this is my sworn brother, Mosquito

Hi there

Alright, you guys carry on

Boss, it's taken care of

How'd it go?

Kept wailing

Ok lah, go sit down and eat

Have a seat

Riot at the Rocky Bay Prison

They even sent in the SWAT team

lt's turned into such a big deal

Take some of this

This reduces your internal heat,

have some

Get some more

Dad you're home

You were saying

Wim-Kian's uncle

Uh-huh

Which uncle is it?

Well it's Dog Boy's dad

Oh, Doggy

Wim-Kian is raised by Doggy

He'll get even for sure

You better watch out

Boss

Uncle lost 200 grand

at the Temple Front bookie

He told them

to collect from you when you come out

But they insisted on

chopping down one of his fingers

F***

What you doing?

Hey where the hell are we going?

Just chill, you'll know in a minute

Where's Monk?

Boss Dragon

There's no way he'd come for this

He's not interested in women

Try saying that to him next time

if you got the balls

lt is true

He is Monk

a monk should be vegetarian and celibate

Exquisite Tower

Tower is exquisite,

there are 13 stories in the Tower

A temple in front of the Tower,

an old monk in the temple

The old monk is the Master of six pupils

See?

Auntie has prepared

swallow nests and shark fins for you

Pick one you like and enjoy the tonic

Feed yourself well, so you'll be strong

Auntie, my dad doesn't let me

come to Treasure Borough,

Cow Dung

No one knows

Boss Dragon was here, got it?

Sure, leave it to me

Little handsome, come, your turn

Wait, l'll wait, they go first

First timer, huh?

Auntie will get you

a pretty one in a minute

Make you lose your virginity tonight

Then take a red envelope for good luck

Auntie come in for a second

Take your pick

Don't be scared

You scared the sh*t out of me

Auntie,

What you lookin' at?

l'll dig your eyes out

Her, l can do with her

Did you go to

Show Shang Elementary School?

Didn't you always carry your lunchbox

in a washing powder bag?

You're confusing me with someone else

You

Why do you want to be a hooker?

What about you?

Why do you want to be a gangster?

Can we talk first?

What's your name?

Whatever

Thanks, come again

Hey
