Winners and Sinners Page #2

Curly, does the bus

go to your part of town?

It didn't use to.

I'm not sure about now, though.

How do you get there?

Well, you take the next left,

and then a right,

and then straight over that puddle,

and we're there.

How much for our fares?

We're all brothers. Its on me, really.

Thank you.

Wow, you must be well-off.

Oh, it's my uncle's place.

They've emigrated to Canada

to work in the restaurants.

I'm just house-sitting.

But my uncle is 79 now,

and childless, so it'll

all be mine soon.

Make yourself at home.

There's beer in the fridge.

Sister! Sister!

I wonder what Curly's sister is like.

Probably just like him.

Here.

Thanks.

Maybe not. Don't be so sure.

Come over here, Curly.

What do you want?

I'm going to ask you something.

Give me a straight answer.

Go ahead.

Are you related to

your sister biologically?

Yes.

Why, what's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

That's a lost cause.

What are you up to?

Yes, what's up?

Just going to the loo.

What's going on?

What?

Nothing.

My sistet just freaked me out.

He's her brother and she still

shocks the hell out of him.

We'd better be mentally prepared.

Drop it.

Let's try to be polite to her.

Everyone's here?

They're all here.

Dinner's ready.

God is really fair.

Beautiful girls usually can't cook,

and girls who can cook

are probably not...

Treat them as if they're your uncles.

Uncles.

She's addressing you, guys.

Return your greetings.

My name is Vaseline.

Hey, take a seat.

Hey, you lot.

Don't even think about it!

Let me ask you another question.

What was your father's profession?

He was a sailor.

Oh, I see.

It all makes sense now.

There's a burglar!

What?!

What happened?

There's a burglar.

He's not a burglar, he's Teapot.

It's nothing. Break it up.

Hi. My name is Teapot.

I'm sorry...

Don't apologise. It's a natural reflex

to take him for a burglar.

Did you hurt your leg kicking him?

Are you okay?

I'm fine,

even though I drew the short straw.

Its just a misunderstanding, let's eat.

Help yourselves.

What's wrong with you lot? You don't

have to line up for dinner at home!

Thank you.

Thanks.

Go ahead, help yourselves.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Leave her alone.

Thank you.

Is it ready?

It's done.

Big Brother,

can you tell which one is real?

The one in the middle.

No, Big Brother.

The top one, then.

Wrong again, Big Brother.

They're all fake.

Come here.

Don't you make a fool of me again.

But you did well on this job.

Seriously, don't follow us around.

But you told me to wear it.

Is my father's uniform

such a disgrace?

I didn't say anything. You're

the ones who think it's ugly.

It's kind of ugly,

but it suits you, though.

Don't be ashamed.

Only inner beauty matters.

Jack doesn't mean that. He's just saying

that you don't have any looks at all.

Stop bickering. Let's go.

Hey, hands off.

Damn!

I barely touched her.

Curly perceives you two

as sex-crazed monsters.

You should watch your words.

It's not a perception, it's the truth.

You mean it's true?!

We've no chance with her brother

always hanging around.

Let's think of a way to lose him.

How?

Do your own thinking.

Tonight, we, we, we... no...

the two of us, will... be promoting...

...some medicine.

I wonder where Porky Wing is

and his pretty female colleague.

This medicine here...

can cure all kinds of ailments,

and it can boost your health

even if you're not sick.

Me?

Smart guys plan, dumb guys do.

Off you go.

...strengthens your back.

These martial artists

usually sell fake medicine.

Strengthens, strengthens...

Strengthens your entire body.

It's a small pill...

which makes it...

...easy to swallow.

Just take three pills a day.

That's why in

...I've, I've, I've...

...never been sick at all.

And I feel... feel... feel... so...

Okay,

let's stop the talk and begin.

Here we go.

What's the big fuss? It's just like

those crap martial arts movies.

Come on, show some strength. You look

like an old guy taking a pee.

You're something else.

This is Kung Fu Teacher Chiu.

Don't try running! I'll show you

a few tricks of my own.

How dare you hit me!

Please, don't! I was only kidding!

Brother!

Don't worry, Sis.

Your brother's seen it all.

He'll get away just fine.

He's right. Let's go that way.

What?

Competing for her affections?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm telling you...

Let's see who's got the best move.

What are you up to?

Lifting shirts?

You...

Hey! While you two were squabbling,

someone else moved in.

Come and get a good buy!

Walkie-talkies for $65 only.

Don't miss this great bargain.

Hey, Sis. Can you hear me? Over.

Sure she can.

You were standing so close, you could

have transmitted with anything.

At least move further away.

Give it to me.

This is not our kind of gadget.

When it comes to electronics,

Exhaust Pipe here is the specialist.

Here.

You're absolutely right there.

It says 'Made in Japan' but it's really

made in Hong Kong.

But it has a pretty good reception,

though.

I estimate its operating range

at 51.4 metres.

How do you know for sure?

He's only faking it.

You think I'm faking it? Go check

with the sales representative.

My friend here sure knows

a thing or two.

See! Sis, listen to me. I'll check in

when I'm 51.4 metres away.

Why am I hanging out

with a dumbo?

Calling Exhaust Pipe!

Over, over.

Hello, Sis. Over.

Are you 51.4 metres away yet?

Not yet, I'm getting there. Can you hear

me loud and clear, Sis? Over.

Its too faint. Over.

What about now?

Sis wants you to sing her a song.

What? A song?

Yes!

Okay.

Intense is her love,

boundless in its depth

Fine is her grace,

unrequisitely he adores

The dearest wish

within both yearning hearts

Eventual union

for the forlorn lovers

But, what of the ocean

which divides... their worlds?

Dad, someone has taken our spot.

The short break

may make the heart grow fonder

Dear daughter, it's hard making

a living these days.

Let him do his act

and we'll do ours.

Sis, can you hear me? Over.

Sis, my eye! I'm packing up now.

Bring the walkie-talkie back!

Or I'll call the police.

Teapot. Go get a bag of peanuts

and share it with him.

Oh, I'd like some too.

Go on. What, you don't

have any change?

Not that.

I don't have any money at all.

I can't even make you look good.

Here. Let's go.

It takes more than ten bucks

to look good.

Then how much do you want?

Wow, that's a bit steep.

Steep? How else were you

going to send me away?

Okay. To avoid further complications,

here you go.

Don't you worry,

I'll pay you back.

Being off girls for three years makes

the ugly ones look pretty, too.

See you later. Bye.

Where's Larry?

Er, he...

He must have sent him off.

Er... maybe he just left

because he wanted to.

He's got some business

to attend to.

This way, please.

That looks nice.

This market only sells women's clothes.

What are you here for?

Nothing.

Well...

Now that the rival suitors

have all gone,

you know what you should do?
