The Good Earth Page #6

All you have

and all I have depends on it!

You think I'm rich?

But if I lose

this harvest there's nothing!

If I save anything I'll share it!

Yeah yeah yeah!

Let the men dig and women,

let the old men and boys make torches,

gather all things that'll make a noise!

Bring the fire stuff!

Get the oxens and ploughs,

sickels, spades!

Everyone! Hey hey! Useless! Useless!

I'll stay where it's safe!

Faster! Faster! Make that thing wider!

Up here! Hurry! Hurry!

Bring the fire stuff!

Come on men, hurry!

Torches.

Millions! Millions!

My god!

See! They land in one place!

Yes, they fall!

Hey! Hurry with the fire stuff!

Load the fire stuff from here!

Get them! Get the torches!

Get the torches!

Light the fires!

All fire stop!

They are smothering the plains!

It's breaking through,

just as I predicted it!

Just as I predicted it!

Bring the water! Fill the ditches!

Fill the ditches!

They'll be eaten,

there's no doubt about it now!

No doubt about it!

That ditch will never hold them!

We must fight them with our hands!

Ourselves! Anything! Move!

Chen! Keep fighting! Don't give up!

We must keep fighting!

Everyone! We can!

There's the wheat! Save it!

The wind! The wind! The wind! The wind!

We beat them!

We beat them! We beat them!

Yeah yeah yeah! We beat them!

The farm! Victory!

Victory! We've done it!

The young master,

it's wonderful! He did it!

The son and his father,

the son to be proud of!

The father to be proud of!

The wise man in 3 generations!

But it's nothing!

Just a matter of oil and fire,

something we learn from books!

But I'm worn out! Worn out!

But we saved the crops!

The harvest is saved!

The gods are good!

What's the matter?

I'll call your husband

No no! Say nothing

He's on the land again,

with his sons, and this day's his,

and it must be!

You shall bring in the harvest,

and lead the workers!

Both of you!

And Ching is my steward!

Well! There's work to be done!

Yeah yeah yeah!

The harvest! Food! Food again!

And another thing must be done,

and you must do it,

quickly!

I? Work?

Go to the banker,

as a commisioner to be had,

and if you rob me a little,

it will be yours! For old time's sake!

I will sell the Great House!

Sell? But why?

The harvest is saved, you'll have money!

You can live like a lord!

All that is finished!

I'll sell the Great House!

It's a wedding again!

But who?

It's your grandson's wedding!

And soon there'll be great grandsons!

Many of them! Many of them!

Please! Please!

Let him be! Let him be!

His cheek is as red

as this excellent wine!

Excellent indeed!

My stomach is very pleased!

Perhaps it's the lost of memory,

but I've never eaten such rice!

It's very bad rice.

The worst I've ever bought!

Grandchildren! Great grandchildren!

Have all the guests had rice?

Yes yes!

Is the sweet rice is hot,

with lard and sugar?

And the 8 fruits?

It's just as you wished

Mistrss! Your son's bride!

Well, and she's beautiful!

My daughter, look to your husband

and your husband's father,

and his granfather,

and you'll have no duty to any of them.

You must rest!

Everyone be here

not smiling because of me

Let them be, for the bride!

In good time! In good time!

For you'll be well again

Well, this thing is waiting

You can't speak of that,

and please me

I'm content,

and what must be done, you've done!

Bridegroom hasn't heard a word!

He's wishing we go home!

No no indeed I should be honoured

if you stay the whole even

Oh!

Do you remember?

Yes!

If a man could speak, there're things...

Some are forgotten

But now I know that you're the one;

that the best a man can have

Ou Lang! Ou Lang!

This I cannot bear

I'd sell all my land

if I could heal you!

No! I would not let you!

For I must die, sometime

But the land will be there, after me

I beg you! Stay here with me!

I can not!

Forgive me!

Ou Lang, you are the earth!
