The Young Master (師弟出馬)

- Be careful, brother. - I will.

It's here so much of the time, it'll come back by itself.

It's only on loan - we will win it back.

Why aren't you working?

- I am working! - Get to it!

(Referring to the custom of lion blessing audience with the greens.)

Not great, won't eat. Not great, won't eat.

Great, great, will eat!

- Is it prepared? - Yes.

- Have the costumes arrived? - They're coming later.

Master, Mrs Hoi has arrived!

Of course I'm here on time!

Mrs Hoi!

Thank you very much!

These are the costumes - hurry up if you want to look good.

Don't get them mixed up.

Each is responsible for his own. You as well.

- Brother! - I'm coming!

Yours is here, Keung!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

- Are you all right? - My leg hurts.

Who put the bucket here?

- It was Orphan Boy! - Me?

- Help me up! - Get him up.

You sit down!

If it's not this, it's that. You were to be the lion's head.

Without Keung as the lion's head, we'll lose.

Can't anyone else do it? I can.

- I'm better than you. - Shut up.

Someone else will have to be the lion's head.

- Brother... - I'm not up to it.

Of course you're not.

Lung, you'll do it.

- Orphan Boy is no good. - If he can't, I will.

- I'd do it! - You?

Quiet!

Ready the lion!

Fellow villagers, last year was peaceful and the weather was good.

And not breaking with tradition,

this year we will again have the Greens of Peace.

Ching-fung and Wai-yee martial arts schools will compete,

to see which of them will bring us another year of peace.

- Wow, it's big! - What kind of greens are they?

- A green face. - What?

My face will turn green if I have to do it.

This isn't a joke.

Wow. That's good.

This is great.

He's good.

The lion has great energy.

That's not Wai-yee style. Lung, you're the head,

Chan, you take the tail.

Everyone get ready. Get in your positions.

Official Bookmaker

- Which one? - Black.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

- What are the odds? - Black is 20-1 ,

- For gold, $1 pays 5 cents. - Just 5 cents?

The golden lion is going to win and if everyone backs it, I'll be broke.

- Betting slips costs money. - I'm backing the black lion.

Queue up there.

What, black? No need to queue then.

It's brilliant!

Come on! Jump across.

- Brave enough to jump? - Yes.

Let's see how they do it.

Go up!

Don't let them get up!

Don't let them get up!

Good. Well done!

Push!

The belt, Chan.

- Is it on, Chan? - It's on.

I'm going down.

- Big Brother! - Don't talk. Take it if you can.

Big Brother, you...

Bring me up.

Don't let go!

Why are you doing this, Big Brother?

Right now, I'm not your brother!

Get it if you can.

You're making it hard for me.

Hang on. Don't fall off!

- Hold him! - Quiet. Get the greens.

Go on!

Useless! He's rubbish.

Bravo, well done!

We won! We won!

Brother Bill danced our lion magnificently.

Stop talking and get the prize.

Clear up and go.

Aren't you down yet?

I've won my bet.

You're useless. You lost me my money.

I'm the black lion, you be the golden one.

Come on.

You count it. It's all there.

It gets easier after the first time.

- You'll have to help us out again. - But they'll find out.

So what? Join us and we'll make you an instructor.

Think about it.

I'll think about it.

Who won, Master?

M-M-Mas..

So we lost. Why the long faces?

Go and practise!

Ah-Lung!

You couldn't hold onto the lion's head.

Lift the table one hundred times to strengthen your arms.

Watch the water, you're getting it everywhere.

- Over here. - Wipe mine down, would you?

Wipe yours? Who's going to wipe mine?

Don't be so lazy.

- Wipe it yourself! - Be quick.

Watch out - you're splashing me.

What! That again?

Do as you are told to.

- Hey. - Over there.

I know, into that room. It's not my first time.

Not so loud. Master has just fallen asleep.

If you don't want people to know, you shouldn't go looking for whores.

Here I am, naughty one.

- Big Brother - What?

- Her again? - Get out.

- Don't be long. - I know. Go away.

Come and play with me.

Get up, fat pig.

The Master's coming.

Master.

- What are you doing? - Nothing. It's cooler in here.

- Cooler in here? - Yes.

- Do you want to suffocate me? - Of course not.

You're copping a feel!

Master, I won't do it again.

This is again!

- Get off me! - Get out!

This is a martial arts school, not a brothel. Get out!

I'm going. There's nothing to stay here for anyway.

Haven't you ever seen a woman before?

Give me your belt.

Wai-yee School? Why are they giving you money?

- Explain. - I...

Tell me! What have you done?

Tell me!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Keung?

Keung!

Why is Wai-yee School giving you money? What have you done?

Didn't he tell you that I did their lion dance?

I've said nothing! Big Brother, he..

You get out!

- Big Brother! - Get out!

Get out!

Master!

You still call me Master?

You'd bite the hand that feeds you? You betrayed us.

Do you remember when you and Lung were children and parentless?

Fighting stray dogs for food.

Dirty and muddy all over.

Who brought you back here?

For the last ten years, I have raised both of you like my own sons,

giving you a good education, and have I asked for a penny?

You lion-danced for someone else for money!

Why did you do that?

Ah-lung isn't good enough. This school was counting on you.

Did you want to give me a heart attack?

- I knew he'd betray us. - He'll be the death of the Master.

Tell me!

Leave!

Tell me!

Don't say any more. You treat me well and I've wronged you.

I am leaving!

- Big Brother... - Don't obstruct me!

Master.

Big Brother! Don't!

If you leave now, don't ever come back!

Big Brother!

I heard the boss will be up for sentencing in two days.

If we don't do it now, we may not get another chance.

It isn't that easy! Just the two of you. It'll be risky.

Two of us is enough.

The police only care about their pay.

They can't be bothered to train. They can't beat us.

But Master Kim is in their hands?

He was drunk when he was caught.

Otherwise, even with ten more, they couldn't take him!

Even so, we should plan before we act.

You're up early, Uncle. Have you had breakfast?

Breakfast? Not yet.

- Shall we go together? - OK.

You? Come to learn Kung fu?

I'm here to see Uncle.

You want to see him? He wants to see you, Uncle.

Why are you here? I've paid you for the lion dance.

You want payment for next year too?

No. You said I could be an instructor here.

That was yesterday.

Now, I've got two more brothers.
