I'm not staying here.

Quick.

Stop this.

What's wrong with everyone today.

(Japanese) Stop this.

No fighting.

How could you hit her?

(Japanese) They're just having a laugh.

You Taiwanese, no law and order!

I'm really sorry.

Inspector.

Please excuse us, Inspector.

You, just take care of the shop!

No more trouble!

Yes.

I'm really sorry.

Master Ptg

and the Twa-Tiu-Tiann theatre present

a joint performance

with the Shanghai Theatre.

The Lady of the Camellias

Just do me one favour first.

And I'll tell you about time travel

when I'm able to.

Just tell me now!

Where are we now?

Geisha!

Master Pig!

Bad news!

Two actors can't make it today

Tummy flu.

But we're about to start.

You, get up there.

UP there?

What about the storyteller?

The storyteller...

I'll do it.

But I can't act.

Just do what I say.

Which part?

The Tree.

The Tree?

Rose.

You've come to see the show today.

Checking out girls?

Which one do you like?

Rose.

Let's take our seats.

Which one do you fancy?

The one wearing pink...

Which colour?

Come again?

The old woman wearing pink...

Come here.

You play the tree.

What tree?

You play the tree.

Hey, what tree?

You guys get ready! Hurry!

I always play the main role,

you're making me play a tree?

(Recites poem)

A lady of the night falls

for a wealthy young man

but their dream

was soon ruined by cruel reality

Our heroine is mortally ill.

Anna, where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to plant these flowers.

You're going to do that, right?

Not like that, Anna.

Give them to him.

Give them to him.

Like this? To him, right?

Why don't you listen to me?

Anna?

Who's Anna?

I'm afraid, Anna thinks I'm unworthy of you.

She wants me to give up.

It must be in the script.

It has to be.

I know, but someone's torn some pages out.

Keep looking.

Someone was probably desperate

for toilet paper.

Whose kid is that?

He can't run around with no pants on.

I really am going to faint.

I'm Armand.

He's calling for her now.

I've got the flowers.

I've got the flowers.

I've got the flowers.

Thank you tree fairy, but no need now.

Come on, we don't need flowers now.

Just kiss her!

Stop it.

Do you know anything about theatre?

What do you think you're doing?

Just do your job.

Why are you giving me a hard time?

This is a romantic tragedy.

Why's the audience laughing?

Yeah, why?

Watch your mouth. You're the male lead.

Damn you.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

What now?

(Japanese) Stop clapping.

Everyone go home now.

The shows over.

The Crown Prince will soon

be visiting Taiwan.

From now on,

all non-Japanese plays

are banned.

This is outrageous.

What kind of rule is that?

Are you sure this comes from the top?

What are you talking about?

Only Japanese songs?

No Taiwanese plays?

This is not fair!

You can't do this!

You can't just walk in

and stop our play like this.

No way.

Right, I know what you want.

No Taiwanese plays from now on.

There you go.

Come in.

Isn't that what you wanted?

Don't do this.
