Big Brother, be careful!
All right.
The gold lion lives and eats here.
It'll come back to us.
We bring it out for the show each year.
We'll win for sure.
Hey, are you slacking off?
I'm working! Get your hands and feet moving!
Is everything ready? All set!
Have the clothes been delivered?
Sister Har will bring them over later.
Master, she's here!
I said that I would make it on time.
Hello, Shanghai lady!
Thanks for your trouble.
The clothes are here! if you want to look smart, then come and get it.
Check carefully. Don't mix them up.
Everyone picks up his own. Come and get yours.
Brother Lung! I'm coming!
Big Brother, your outfit is here!
Big Brother, Big Brother...
How is it? My leg really hurts!
Who put the bucket here?
Must be Orphan Boy. Me?
Hurry, help me up!
Pull him up!
Better sit down.
Such bad timing!
I was counting on you to carry the lion's head.
Without him, we'll lose for sure. There is still me.
Me first before you!
Stop arguing!
Looks like we need a replacement for the lion head.
Me, sir? Big brother.
I can't handle it.
Of course you can't handle it!
Ah Lung! You take over.
Orphan Boy! He can't do it!
Then I'll take his place.
I will! Silence!
Prepare to lead the lion.
Fellow villagers, in the past year,
our town has enjoyed peace and prosperity.
Following tradition, for this year's lion dance,
we've prepared a bait named "Peace on land and sea".
The Jing Fung and Wai Yee martial arts schools will compete for the bait.
Let's see which school will bring us good luck for the new year.
Hey! What kind of bait is this?
Green bait. What?
That is if I have to get it, I'll turn green!
This bait is really called "Circling dragon with 8 fortunes".
Oh terrific!
Very life-like.
Very good!
This lion is handled with skill.
His step and style are not like those of Wai Yee school.
Ah Lung, you take the head. Yes.
Ah Chan, you take the tail.
Everybody get ready!
Which one did you bet on? The black lion.
Let's bet on the gold lion! For a big payoff, of course!
What are the odds?
10 to 1 for black. 50 cents on the dollar for gold.
You mean I lose 50 cents?
We all know the gold lion is a sure win.
If everyone bets on it, then I'll have to sell my wife to pay.
You think these betting forms come free?
Then I'll bet on the black lion.
Go join the queue.
What? You're betting on the black lion? Yes!
Then no need to queue. I'll even fill it in for you.
Bravo!
What to do? You dare jump over?
I dare! Then lift up the tail!
Let's see how you're going to cross without the bridge!
Go!
Don't let him get up there!
Don't let him! Hit him!
Don't let him! Don't!
Beat him! Beat him! Good!
Keep it up!
Ah Chan, belt up!
Ah Chan, have you finished?
Yes, done.
I'm going down.
Big Brother!!
Shut up! if you are good, come and get it!
Big Brother, you...
Lift me up!
Don't let go!
Good! Very good!
Big Brother, why are you doing this? What's it for?
We each serve our own. Don't consider me your brother!
Come take the bait if you can!
You're making things difficult for me!
Hold him. Hey hold him!
Shut up! Hurry and get the bait! Hurry! Hurry!
Hooray! Hooray!
We've won!
The guy at the head is really good! Where did you find him?
Don't ask so many questions. Go and collect the gold lion!
Pack up first.
Why are you still up there?
I have to collect my winnings.
Useless! You made me lose money!
I'll be the black lion, you'll be the gold. Come on!
Please count. I didn't mistreat you.
Once a stranger, twice a friend. I'll see you again for the next festival.
Someone's bound to find out if we keep doing this.
Then come over and be an instructor at our school.
Just think about it.
I'll think it over.
Master. Did we win or lose?
Mast...
So we've lost! No use in looking so miserable.
Go and practice your kung-fu!
Ah Lung! You're the lion's head, but you couldn't even hold on to it!
Lift the table 100 times to build your arm strength.
Come over here.
Can you wipe my straw mat?
Why should I? Who will wipe mine?
But you're not here on a holiday.
You'd better do it yourself.
You think you're some lord?
Do it yourself. Hurry!
That way.
I know. The room right? This is not my first time!
Not so loud. Master just went to bed.
You're afraid to be seen by others
outside and by your master inside.
You shouldn't get a hooker if you're so afraid.
Honey, I'm here!
Big Brother! What now?
Not her again!
Go outside first.
Big Brother, don't take too long.
All right. I know. Just get out!
Come, play with me. Get up, you pig!
Shit! Master is coming.
Master.
What are you doing?
Oh, it's cooler here.
Cooler here?
You want to suffocate me?
No.
Are you trying to take advantage?
Take advantage?
Master, next time I won't do it again.
There won't BE a next time!
Blast you! What are you doing?
This is a martial arts school, not a brothel! Get out!
I'll leave. Not as if there are treasures here!
What are you looking at? Never seen a woman before?
Give me your belt!
Wai Yee School!
Speak! Why did they give you money? Why?
I...
Speak! What did you do for them?
Give it to me!
Jing Keung?
Jing Kenug!
Ah Keung! Why did Wai Yee School give you money?
Didn't he tell you that I performed the lion dance for Wai Yee School?
I didn't say anything! Big Brother!
You go out.
Big Brother... Get out! All of you!
Master.
You dare address me!
You no good double-crossing traitor!
Do you remember when
you and Ah Lung were orphans,
living on the streets among dogs?
Dirty and ragged.
Who took you in?
These 10 or so years, I struggled to raise you two.
I taught and educated you like you were my own sons.
Did I ask for a penny from you?
How could you be so greedy, dancing the lion for others?
Why did you do it?
Ah Lung is useless. The school depends on you.
Do you want me to die of anger and disappointment?
He'll kill the master some day!
Tell me!
Speak up!
Say no more! You were good to me and I did wrong. I'll leave!
Big Brother... Don't stand in my way!
Master!
Big Brother! Let him go!
Don't you ever come back!
Big Brother! Big Brother...
I heard that Master Kim will be taken to court soon.
If we don't rescue him now, we won't get another chance.
You think it's so easy? You're short-handed with 2 people.
What? We two are enough.
The guards only complain about their pay. They never practiced kung-fu.
When it comes to fighting, they're not in our league.
Then how come Kim was captured?
Only because he was drunk that day.
Otherwise, not even 10 marshals can handle him.
Still, you must plan carefully in advance.
