Father, I bought the beer.

2
00:01:13,041 --> 00:01:14,625
You took ages!

3
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Standing on the lotus, she feels at peace,

4
00:02:15,708 --> 00:02:19,625
with two attendants by her side.

5
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:22,625
As devil and demons confront each other,

6
00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:27,583
they're subdued by her compassion.

7
00:02:27,666 --> 00:02:32,708
Goddess of Mercy, hear my pleas.

<i>Who has to put up with life's cruelty</i>

12

Life is full of suffering,

13
00:03:04,958 --> 00:03:07,916
and everything is impermanent.

14
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,208
Life and death are but a dream.

15

Sister, you are beautiful!

19

What was your role?

20
00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:46,833
I played the Goddess of Mercy.

21
00:03:47,541 --> 00:03:49,166
Goddess of Mercy?

22
00:03:50,041 --> 00:03:51,000
Who is she?

23
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:57,333
She is an all-compassionate goddess
who helps people in need.

24
00:03:58,375 --> 00:03:59,958
Regardless of who they are?

25
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:01,458
Yes.

26
00:04:03,166 --> 00:04:04,291
No, that's not true!

27
00:04:05,083 --> 00:04:07,250
Why didn't she help my mother then?

28
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:12,583
You're too inquisitive.

29
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:15,958
Here, take this.

30
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:17,333

00:06:03,833 --> 00:06:05,458

32
00:06:05,541 --> 00:06:06,833
Let's play hide and seek!

33
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:09,958
-So, who'll be the seeker?
-You!

34
00:06:10,041 --> 00:06:13,791
Again? I've done it so many times.

35
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,458
Father, please eat.

36
00:08:37,291 --> 00:08:40,458
I don't earn as much
as I did in my younger days.

37
00:08:44,041 --> 00:08:45,625
You should go out to work.

38
00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:48,000
At least you can be of some help.

39
00:08:50,916 --> 00:08:52,583
Can I make a living from singing?

40
00:08:55,958 --> 00:08:58,000
I want to sing "12 Lotus."

41
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:03,958
"12 Lotus" is only sung by adults.

42
00:09:04,583 --> 00:09:06,541
Do you know the meaning of the lyrics?

43
00:09:09,208 --> 00:09:10,791
I'll understand when I grow up.

44
00:09:10,875 --> 00:09:13,125
I want to sing for the Goddess of Mercy.

46
00:09:16,541 --> 00:09:19,125

Are you sure you can sing properly?

53
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:34,291
Even our neighbor's mad dog sounds better!

54
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:37,208
Then tell the dog to sing!

55
00:10:42,541 --> 00:10:44,416
Without pain, there's no love.

56
00:10:44,791 --> 00:10:46,583

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
I've reminded you so many times.

94
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:37,583
Getai singers cannot be
trusted and befriended!

95
00:14:37,666 --> 00:14:40,125
You tell them "one,"
they'll change it to "three."

96
00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:42,833
You tell them something trivial,
they'll blow it up.

97
00:14:42,916 --> 00:14:45,791
These are people with malicious tongues!

98
00:14:45,875 --> 00:14:48,625
Only a gullible fool like you
will fall into their trap.

Can't you see their true motives?

100
00:14:50,250 --> 00:14:53,375
They're obviously
sowing discord between us.

101
00:14:54,541 --> 00:14:57,083
Don't forget, you wanted to be a singer.

102
00:14:57,166 --> 00:14:59,083
I didn't force you into this.

103
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:00,791
Don't you want to sing Getai anymore?

104
00:15:00,875 --> 00:15:03,708
So you think you're independent now?

You want to sever ties with me? Fine!

00:21:09,958 --> 00:21:11,000
Come.

182
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:27,166
I've got a proposal.

183
00:21:28,125 --> 00:21:30,625
I want to team up
with your daughter Lotus.

184
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,291
She'll definitely earn twice
her current pay, if not more.

185
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:43,583
You're joking, right?

186
00:21:53,166 --> 00:21:55,125
Here's a $10,000 deposit.

187
00:21:57,541 --> 00:21:58,625
Take it.

188
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,833
If we earn more in the future,
you'll be paid more.

189
00:22:07,041 --> 00:22:11,083
Even if this venture fails,
you still get to keep the cash.

190
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:13,708
What do you think?

191
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:16,083
With money, I am open to discussion.

192
00:22:18,833 --> 00:22:20,208
But on one condition.

193
00:22:21,291 --> 00:22:23,291
She must sing with Astroboy as well.

194
00:22:24,208 --> 00:22:25,750
So, he's your spy?

195
00:22:29,125 --> 00:22:30,375
Okay. No problem!

196
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,208
Just sign here.

197
00:23:09,333 --> 00:23:12,333
Sister Lotus, is the make-up too much?

198
00:23:13,125 --> 00:23:14,875
I'll apply some more.

199
00:23:15,208 --> 00:23:17,875
Shouldn't you be practicing your singing?

200
00:23:17,958 --> 00:23:20,375
You'll get in trouble
if your mother finds out.

201
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,625
I hate my mother.

202
00:23:24,041 --> 00:23:26,541
You should obey your mother.

203
00:23:26,875 --> 00:23:28,416
I wish I had a mother.

204
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,666
Sister Lotus, why are you
always eating cream crackers?

205
00:23:35,791 --> 00:23:37,500
I eat them when I'm nervous.

206
00:23:38,666 --> 00:23:41,666
Is it because of the gorgeous guy
you saw that day?

207
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:44,916
You're such a flirt!

208
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,416
So, this feather has turned you
into a phoenix, has it?

209
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:52,125
Don't touch my feather! It's mine. Don't!

210
00:23:57,458 --> 00:23:58,875
Stop fooling around!

211
00:24:01,916 --> 00:24:03,083
Lotus.

212
00:24:04,083 --> 00:24:08,666
From today, the Prince of Getai, Ah Long,
will form a band with the both of you.

213
00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:12,000
This means we are all
on the same team now.

214
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:14,875
Why don't you two talk about it?

215
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:19,583
What is this? A butterfly?

216
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:22,500
Keep flapping and you might really fly!
Get out of here.

217
00:24:32,750 --> 00:24:33,958
How do you do?

218
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:59,416
<i>Chapter Five of Pitiful Lotus</i>

219
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:00,666
<i>Don't be afraid</i>

220
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:03,458
<i>Young and lost, with no one to turn to</i>

221
00:25:03,541 --> 00:25:05,041
<i>Don't be afraid</i>

222
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:07,583
<i>Working hard to earn a living</i>

223
00:25:07,666 --> 00:25:09,250
<i>Don't be afraid</i>

224
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:12,500
<i>All the pain she has to bear</i>

225
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:16,625
Are you all right? What's on your mind?

226
00:25:20,958 --> 00:25:24,708
I've been noticing you for some time.
You sing really well.

227
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:28,500
Besides singing, what else do you like?

228
00:25:30,291 --> 00:25:31,708
What's your favorite food?

229
00:25:34,541 --> 00:25:36,041
Why are you so quiet?

230
00:25:37,541 --> 00:25:39,208
I want to get to know you better.

231
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:46,166
<i>My name is Ah Hua</i>

232
00:25:47,250 --> 00:25:51,333
<i>I'm sweet 16 this year</i>

233
00:25:51,791 --> 00:25:53,166
Here they go again!

234
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:56,833
<i>That guy winked at me</i>

235
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:03,458
<i>And sent my heart fluttering</i>

236
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:09,166
<i>My name is Ah Long</i>

237
00:26:09,916 --> 00:26:14,333
<i>I want to be with you</i>
<i>For the rest of my life</i>

238
00:26:15,833 --> 00:26:19,791
<i>Look at Ah Hua, so sweet and pretty!</i>

239
00:26:21,083 --> 00:26:25,625
<i>Where can you find a girl like that?</i>

240
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:38,416
<i>My name is Ah Hua</i>

241
00:26:39,416 --> 00:26:43,541
<i>I'm sweet 16 this year</i>

242
00:26:44,583 --> 00:26:48,375
<i>Grandma tells me to get married soon!</i>

243
00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:54,000
<i>So I randomly picked a man</i>
<i>From the streets</i>

244
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:58,666
<i>My name is Ah Long</i>

245
00:26:59,666 --> 00:27:03,541
<i>What do you desire for your betrothal?</i>

246
00:27:03,625 --> 00:27:08,791
<i>My grandpa has wealth and status</i>

247
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,500
<i>Marry me and you'll live a life of luxury</i>

248
00:27:13,583 --> 00:27:15,333
What a life!

249
00:27:19,375 --> 00:27:23,041
You're here to lose again? Not afraid?

250
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:26,875
With Ah Long around, I've nothing to fear!

251
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:32,041
I'm rolling in money now!

252
00:27:37,541 --> 00:27:38,375
Pass.

253
00:27:39,416 --> 00:27:41,416
Hello, everyone!

254
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,333
Please give
a round of applause to Astroboy!

255
00:27:43,416 --> 00:27:46,458
<i>Nobody knows my heart</i>

256
00:27:46,958 --> 00:27:50,625
<i>Two brothers falling for me</i>
<i>At the same time</i>

257
00:27:53,166 --> 00:27:56,166
<i>One has a successful career</i>

258
00:27:56,250 --> 00:27:58,875
<i>And the other is good-looking and popular</i>

259
00:28:02,125 --> 00:28:05,375
<i>They are both nice to me</i>

260
00:28:05,458 --> 00:28:09,500
<i>Worthy of my love!</i>

261
00:28:11,291 --> 00:28:14,291
<i>What should I do?</i>

262
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:18,041
<i>Oh, how my heart flutters</i>

263
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,750
<i>I do love the both of them</i>

264
00:28:23,833 --> 00:28:28,333
<i>But I can't decide</i>

265
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:33,291
<i>No matter how hard I try</i>
<i>I'm caught in a dilemma</i>

266
00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:36,791
<i>And nobody knows my heart</i>

267
00:28:55,666 --> 00:28:58,291
-Astroboy, I've got a secret.
-What secret?

268
00:28:59,791 --> 00:29:02,125
-I'm not telling you.
-Why not? Tell me.

269
00:29:02,625 --> 00:29:04,500
What if you tell somebody else?

270
00:29:04,583 --> 00:29:06,166
I won't tell anyone!

271
00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:07,791
-Promise?
-Promise.

272
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:12,833
Okay. I'll tell you.

273
00:29:13,708 --> 00:29:15,083
I pity Lotus.

274
00:29:16,583 --> 00:29:20,250
Her father is gambling away
all her hard-earned money,

275
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:23,083
and she's left with nothing.

276
00:29:23,166 --> 00:29:24,708
Don't you feel sorry for her?

277
00:29:24,791 --> 00:29:29,541
Yes. Can you help her?

278
00:29:30,041 --> 00:29:36,375
I've thought about it,
but I just got to know her.

279
00:29:37,833 --> 00:29:40,291
So I'm not sure if she trusts me.

280
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,750
What if she doesn't like me?

281
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:43,916
She likes you!

282
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,208
How can you tell?

283
00:29:45,291 --> 00:29:48,958
She told me she thinks you are handsome.

284
00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:51,000
So I think she likes you.

285
00:29:51,583 --> 00:29:57,708
Really? But it'd still be
difficult to help her. Unless...

286
00:29:58,583 --> 00:30:00,833
-I have an idea!
-What is it?

287
00:30:00,916 --> 00:30:02,083
It's a secret!

288
00:30:04,958 --> 00:30:05,916
One more round.

289
00:30:20,791 --> 00:30:22,291
-Another card?
-No.

290
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:29,541
Trump card!

291
00:30:37,041 --> 00:30:37,875
Show your cards.

292
00:30:38,875 --> 00:30:39,833
Nineteen.

293
00:30:40,583 --> 00:30:43,166
Too bad, I'm the dealer. 20!

294
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,958
Another round?

295
00:31:00,458 --> 00:31:03,000
Am I really so unlucky today?

296
00:31:06,541 --> 00:31:10,666
There's about $30,000 here. I'm all in!

297
00:31:29,791 --> 00:31:32,708
Sorry, I'm the dealer, 21!

298
00:31:35,875 --> 00:31:38,375
You've lost, but...

299
00:31:56,041 --> 00:31:58,583
<i>I want to marry you</i>

300
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:01,375
<i>Tell me how much I mean to you</i>

301
00:32:01,458 --> 00:32:03,791
<i>I may be pretty</i>
<i>But when it comes to marriage</i>

302
00:32:03,875 --> 00:32:06,083
<i>I'm extremely shy</i>

303
00:32:06,166 --> 00:32:08,708
<i>Well, I'm a good catch</i>

304
00:32:08,791 --> 00:32:11,083
<i>I've got a car, a house and land</i>

305
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:15,000
<i>I'm the perfect guy for you!</i>

306
00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:18,416
<i>I'll marry you</i>

307
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,250
<i>Ain't life wonderful!</i>

308
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:22,666
<i>How lovely!</i>

309
00:32:24,125 --> 00:32:29,416
<i>Marry me! Tell me how much I mean to you</i>

310
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:31,708
<i>Pretty, she may be</i>

311
00:32:31,791 --> 00:32:34,333
<i>When it comes to marriage, she's so shy</i>

312
00:32:34,416 --> 00:32:36,166
<i>Ah Long is such a good catch</i>

313
00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:37,708
<i>He has a car, a house, and land...</i>

314
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:43,958
<i>I'll marry him</i>

315
00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:49,041
<i>Don't tell anyone. How lovely!</i>

316
00:32:52,541 --> 00:32:55,958
<i>Ah Long...</i>

317
00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:09,416
Hold your applause, everyone!
I have a surprise!

318
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:11,916
What surprise?
You're going to wear a skirt?

319
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,541
You want to see me in a skirt?

320
00:33:13,625 --> 00:33:15,000
Sure, come backstage,

321
00:33:15,083 --> 00:33:17,208
pay me a hundred bucks and I'll show you!

322
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,125
It's a special day
for my god-sister Lotus!

323
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:25,833
What are you talking about?

324
00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:29,541
Music please! E-flat!

325
00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:47,500
Will you marry me?

326
00:35:04,083 --> 00:35:11,041
There are many things in this world

327
00:35:11,125 --> 00:35:15,500
that will always be unjust.

328
00:35:18,125 --> 00:35:21,791
This is especially true
for a certain type of man.

329
00:35:24,208 --> 00:35:30,291
There are heartless men in this world,

330
00:35:32,166 --> 00:35:36,333
and you should never fall for them.

331
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:44,166
He may hold your hand tight,

332
00:35:45,833 --> 00:35:49,958
but there's something else on his mind.

333
00:35:52,791 --> 00:35:55,416
He may hug you tight,

334
00:35:56,833 --> 00:36:00,083
but his love is not for you.

335
00:36:04,708 --> 00:36:06,375
Ah Hua,

336
00:36:08,125 --> 00:36:11,541
you must never fall for this sort of man.

337
00:36:14,458 --> 00:36:15,791
They are the...

338
00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:20,791
They are the most deplorable men
in this world.

339
00:36:24,833 --> 00:36:28,750
They are the most deplorable men
in this world.

340
00:36:36,583 --> 00:36:37,875
Ah Hua.

341
00:36:42,291 --> 00:36:49,000
Ah Hua, your father belongs to this group.

342
00:36:51,625 --> 00:36:57,500
You must never fall for someone like me.

343
00:37:02,083 --> 00:37:04,958
You must promise me.

344
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:10,250
Ah Hua, you must promise your father!

345
00:37:12,166 --> 00:37:13,541
You're still young.

346
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:18,291
No need to rush into marriage.

347
00:37:20,958 --> 00:37:23,875
Remember, no need to rush into marriage.

348
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:30,625
You don't have to hold a funeral...

349
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:35,833
or make offerings to me when I'm gone.

350
00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:41,458
Just promise me that...

351
00:37:42,583 --> 00:37:47,750
you'll never love such a man.

352
00:37:53,083 --> 00:37:54,833
Ah Hua,

353
00:37:57,708 --> 00:38:02,375
you are my good little girl.

354
00:38:05,125 --> 00:38:07,375
You'll always...

355
00:38:08,166 --> 00:38:13,250
You'll always be my good little girl.

356
00:38:25,416 --> 00:38:27,208
Astroboy.

357
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:31,083
Only Astroboy can come in.

358
00:38:31,916 --> 00:38:35,291
I want to talk to him!

359
00:39:08,958 --> 00:39:11,000
My father has passed away.

360
00:39:16,083 --> 00:39:20,625
No one will ever hit me or...

361
00:39:23,291 --> 00:39:25,625
Or scold me again.

362
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:32,708
He will never hit me or...

363
00:39:34,708 --> 00:39:36,875
Or scold me again.

364
00:39:46,416 --> 00:39:47,708
You still have me.

365
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:52,750
I'll take care of you.

366
00:41:36,875 --> 00:41:39,083
You are a capable man.

367
00:41:39,458 --> 00:41:42,041
You'll do anything for money.

368
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,208
You are indeed our big brother.

369
00:41:46,375 --> 00:41:50,541
Only money matters.

370
00:41:53,458 --> 00:41:56,166
Money makes the world go round.

371
00:42:00,375 --> 00:42:01,916
Why was I sold off?

372
00:42:07,458 --> 00:42:09,125
Because my parents needed money!

373
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:17,833
Listen up,

374
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:21,291
you'd better not touch her.

375
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:24,041
If you do, I want my money back.

376
00:42:25,583 --> 00:42:28,166
I don't want second-hand goods!

377
00:42:31,125 --> 00:42:35,583
Actually, I was really tempted
to take her.

378
00:42:38,583 --> 00:42:40,750
But how can I disappoint you?

379
00:42:41,958 --> 00:42:45,208
-Yeah, I want her, too.
-You want her, too?

380
00:42:47,875 --> 00:42:49,333
So you want her, too?

381
00:42:51,208 --> 00:42:53,083
How long have you been in this field?

382
00:42:55,333 --> 00:42:56,666
How dare you!

383
00:42:58,291 --> 00:42:59,541
Dream on!

384
00:43:04,083 --> 00:43:05,250
Move it!

385
00:43:18,333 --> 00:43:19,500
So what's next?

386
00:43:20,833 --> 00:43:22,541
Settle it yourself?
Or shall I do the honors?

387
00:43:23,416 --> 00:43:24,416
It's up to you.

393
00:45:15,708 --> 00:45:17,416
What happened to your forehead?

394
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:20,541
I'm fine.

395
00:45:21,791 --> 00:45:23,000
Just an accident.

396
00:45:26,083 --> 00:45:27,458
How did it happen?

397
00:45:27,541 --> 00:45:29,208
I can't perform with you tonight.

398
00:45:30,416 --> 00:45:32,333
Can you do a solo?

399
00:45:43,166 --> 00:45:46,625
Don't worry. Really, I'm fine.

Okay.

412
00:47:28,750 --> 00:47:29,583
Ah Long!

413
00:47:29,666 --> 00:47:32,625
PAY YOUR DEBT

414
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:49,958
Here.

415
00:47:59,833 --> 00:48:00,666
What?

416
00:48:00,750 --> 00:48:02,791
You thought you could hide here?

417
00:48:03,958 --> 00:48:06,500
Who are you? We don't know you!

418
00:48:06,833 --> 00:48:09,666
You might not know me,
but I know your father very well!

419
00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:11,583
He owes me $100,000!

420
00:48:15,791 --> 00:48:17,875
Why should I believe you?
Do you have any evidence?

421
00:48:17,958 --> 00:48:18,958
Evidence?

422
00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:25,375
Look at this IOU.
It has your father's signature.

423
00:48:26,375 --> 00:48:27,708
And look at the guarantor.

424
00:48:27,791 --> 00:48:29,500
Isn't it your friend's signature?

425
00:48:29,875 --> 00:48:32,291
If you still don't believe me,
ask him yourself.

426
00:48:32,375 --> 00:48:34,500
Ask him how he got the bruise on his head.

427
00:48:34,583 --> 00:48:36,375
Don't promise money you don't have.

428
00:48:36,458 --> 00:48:40,208
If you don't pay up today,
you're dead meat!

429
00:48:40,291 --> 00:48:42,250
Why did you do this?

430
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,916
I promised to take care of you.

431
00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:54,750
Big brother,
I don't have that much money now.

432
00:48:54,833 --> 00:48:56,125
My dad just passed away.

433
00:48:56,208 --> 00:48:57,958
I really don't have the money to pay you.

434
00:48:58,041 --> 00:49:01,250
I swear by the Goddess of Mercy,
I really don't have it.

435
00:49:01,333 --> 00:49:02,833
No point talking so much.

436
00:49:03,916 --> 00:49:07,000
There's only one rule,
pay what you owe. That's it.

437
00:49:07,083 --> 00:49:10,208
No money? No money to pay me?

438
00:49:13,958 --> 00:49:16,375
I'm begging you. Please!

439
00:49:16,458 --> 00:49:18,041
I'm begging you. Please!

440
00:49:18,125 --> 00:49:23,333
I'll do anything! Please,
have mercy on me. Please help me.

441
00:49:23,416 --> 00:49:25,041
All right. You have two choices.

442
00:49:25,125 --> 00:49:29,875
If you can't pay up today,
either you leave with me or he dies!

443
00:49:29,958 --> 00:49:31,208
No!

444
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,375
Don't listen to them!

445
00:49:39,250 --> 00:49:40,458
Don't listen to them!

446
00:49:43,416 --> 00:49:44,875
This is between you and me.

447
00:49:46,125 --> 00:49:48,833
I don't have the money.
All I have is my life.

448
00:49:49,791 --> 00:49:50,958
Kill me if you want!

449
00:49:51,041 --> 00:49:53,750
-Beat him up!
-No!

450
00:49:53,833 --> 00:49:57,000
No! Don't hit him!

451
00:49:58,750 --> 00:50:02,125
Please don't, I'm begging you!

452
00:50:02,208 --> 00:50:05,375
Please!

453
00:50:05,458 --> 00:50:07,000
Stop!

454
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,500
I'll leave with you.

455
00:50:31,666 --> 00:50:33,166
Wait for me at home.

456
00:50:34,958 --> 00:50:36,333
I'll buy you supper.

457
00:50:36,416 --> 00:50:37,916
Move it and shut up!

458
00:50:46,791 --> 00:50:48,666
I don't want others to think of me

459
00:50:48,750 --> 00:50:51,291
as a man
who would take advantage of a girl.

460
00:50:52,625 --> 00:50:54,708
So, I'll give you a break today.

461
00:50:56,208 --> 00:50:57,750
One round of blackjack.

462
00:50:58,416 --> 00:51:03,125
If you win,
your father's debts will be cleared.

463
00:51:04,416 --> 00:51:07,958
But if you don't,
you know what you have to do tonight!

464
00:51:08,916 --> 00:51:09,916
Deal the cards!

465
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:26,750
Do you want another card?

466
00:51:28,083 --> 00:51:29,041
No?

467
00:51:29,125 --> 00:51:30,583
Show your cards.

468
00:51:32,291 --> 00:51:33,375
Twenty.

Yes. Look, I bought you plenty.

00:57:12,250 --> 00:57:15,708
I even bought you some branded clothes!

00:57:16,208 --> 00:57:18,333
I prefer my clothes tailored.

Tailored clothes take longer to make.

515

It's faster to get readymade ones,
but they're far more expensive.

516

How expensive?

517
00:57:25,625 --> 00:57:27,333

518
00:57:27,416 --> 00:57:29,500
You always get me old-fashioned clothes.

Goddess of Mercy,
why do you keep ignoring me?

520
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:34,583
Astroboy is not very sane.

521
00:57:34,666 --> 00:57:37,000
Just look at the huge feather on his head.

522
00:57:37,083 --> 00:57:38,791
Maybe you should make him bald.

523
00:57:38,875 --> 00:57:41,583
Me, go bald?

524
00:57:41,666 --> 00:57:42,833
No way!

525
00:57:42,916 --> 00:57:45,000
Goddess of Mercy,
let his hair grow back then,

526
00:57:45,083 --> 00:57:47,166
but let that ridiculous feather fall off.

527
00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:49,250
Goddess of Mercy, you're still the best.

528
00:57:49,333 --> 00:57:53,458
You always agree with whatever I say,

529
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,958
I agree with you, too.
Just like Goddess of Mercy.

Please stop nagging.
Goddess of Mercy has an appointment.

531

she can't go out.

00:58:16,083 --> 00:58:17,291
Is it good?

536
00:58:22,375 --> 00:58:23,541
Sister Lotus?

537
00:58:25,916 --> 00:58:30,125
When are you going to
step out of the house?

538
00:58:30,791 --> 00:58:32,000
Yuck! It's disgusting!

539
00:58:32,708 --> 00:58:35,333
Don't you have anything else to say?

540
00:58:36,541 --> 00:58:38,500
It's been over 20 years.

541
00:58:38,583 --> 00:58:42,083
Even if you're not sick
of locking yourself up in here, I am.

542
00:58:42,166 --> 00:58:46,791
If you don't leave the house
you'll turn moldy.

543
00:58:48,541 --> 00:58:50,541
Nonsense! Stop making things up!

544
00:58:50,625 --> 00:58:52,291
I've only stayed in the house
for two weeks.

545
00:58:52,375 --> 00:58:54,375
Ah Long hasn't come home for his supper.

546
00:58:55,875 --> 00:58:57,333
Goddess of Mercy!

547
00:59:03,833 --> 00:59:06,416
What will become of you
when I'm not with you?

548
00:59:08,458 --> 00:59:11,708
Listen, keep this card with you.

549
00:59:12,625 --> 00:59:16,750
Whenever you need cash, you can use it.

550
00:59:16,833 --> 00:59:18,708
There's a PIN number on the back.

551
00:59:19,416 --> 00:59:21,583
I'll teach you how to use it another time.

552
00:59:22,458 --> 00:59:25,208
Wow! Everything is so advanced now!

553
00:59:25,291 --> 00:59:27,666
Goddess of Mercy, this card grows cash!

554
00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:30,416
Ah Long hasn't cleared his debts.

555
00:59:31,916 --> 00:59:35,708
I dreamt of the Goddess of Mercy
last night.

556
00:59:35,791 --> 00:59:37,875
She complained that her hair was dirty.

557
00:59:37,958 --> 00:59:42,000
She wants to go to a posh hair salon.
Can you take her there?

558
00:59:42,083 --> 00:59:44,208
The Goddess of Mercy
wants her hair washed?

559
00:59:44,291 --> 00:59:46,208
Why don't you take her there yourself?

560
00:59:47,541 --> 00:59:50,333
No, I can't.
There are bad people everywhere.

561
00:59:50,416 --> 00:59:55,625
Planes are crashing
and loan sharks are being gunned down.

562
00:59:55,708 --> 01:00:00,250
I heard that
there are many corpses out there.

563
01:00:00,958 --> 01:00:03,375
Times are bad now.

564
01:00:04,625 --> 01:00:07,291
That's all in the past.
Things are better now.

565
01:00:07,375 --> 01:00:08,583
Times are bad.

566
01:00:08,666 --> 01:00:10,041
Times are good.

567
01:00:10,125 --> 01:00:11,375
Bad.

568
01:00:11,458 --> 01:00:12,666
Good.

569
01:00:12,750 --> 01:00:14,000
-Bad.
-Good.

570
01:00:14,083 --> 01:00:16,125
-Bad.
-Good.

571
01:00:16,208 --> 01:00:17,583
-This is crazy!
-This is crazy!

572
01:00:17,666 --> 01:00:20,833
<i>You should know that</i>

573
01:00:22,625 --> 01:00:27,500
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

574
01:00:28,250 --> 01:00:32,625
<i>We'll fill our stomach and go shopping</i>

575
01:00:33,166 --> 01:00:37,291
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

576
01:00:37,875 --> 01:00:42,250
<i>That happy smile on your face says it all!</i>

577
01:00:43,541 --> 01:00:47,250
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

578
01:00:47,333 --> 01:00:51,541
<i>We'll fill our stomach and go shopping</i>

579
01:00:51,625 --> 01:00:55,958
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

580
01:00:56,041 --> 01:01:00,125
<i>That happy smile on your face says it all!</i>

581
01:01:00,208 --> 01:01:04,291
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

582
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,958
<i>Everyone says so</i>

583
01:01:08,041 --> 01:01:09,708
<i>We get to take a plane</i>

584
01:01:09,791 --> 01:01:10,958
<i>Ride in a limousine</i>

585
01:01:11,041 --> 01:01:13,333
<i>And enjoy scrumptious food!</i>

586
01:01:13,416 --> 01:01:16,833
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

587
01:01:16,916 --> 01:01:21,166
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

588
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:24,791
<i>Times are good this time round</i>

589
01:01:27,125 --> 01:01:33,625
<i>You're good and so am I</i>

590
01:01:33,708 --> 01:01:36,791
Excuse me, can you give
Goddess of Mercy a hair wash?

591
01:01:43,291 --> 01:01:45,083
Goddess of Mercy wants a hair wash.

592
01:01:45,791 --> 01:01:48,250
I get it,
Goddess of Mercy wants a hair wash.

593
01:01:50,083 --> 01:01:53,000
Use a good shampoo,
not one that will cause split ends.

594
01:01:53,083 --> 01:01:55,958
This is the best shampoo in the salon.

595
01:01:59,083 --> 01:02:01,083
Be gentle!

596
01:02:01,166 --> 01:02:04,041
Lower your head please.

597
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,708
I mean Goddess of Mercy, not you.

598
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:10,583
Silly you! Go get your ears checked.

599
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,083
Be gentle, take it easy.

600
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:16,250
I know.

601
01:02:17,041 --> 01:02:19,375
Don't raise your voice
at Goddess of Mercy.

602
01:02:20,083 --> 01:02:22,208
You're doing her hair, not a facial.

603
01:02:22,291 --> 01:02:25,208
I know. I'm washing it now.
Be quiet please.

604
01:02:25,291 --> 01:02:28,166
I can't.
Goddess of Mercy told me I have to talk.

605
01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:29,625
Are your hands sterilized?

606
01:02:29,708 --> 01:02:30,833
No, they're not.

607
01:02:30,916 --> 01:02:33,250
You mean you're washing her hair
with unsterilized hands?

608
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:35,708
My hands are sterilized
with the shampoo I use.

609
01:02:35,791 --> 01:02:39,416
Don't raise your voice! She won't like it.
Can't you see her expression?

610
01:02:40,458 --> 01:02:41,750
Paying by cash or card?

611
01:02:41,833 --> 01:02:44,041
I'll pay by card
for Goddess of Mercy's shampoo.

612
01:02:53,958 --> 01:02:56,500
Hello? The PIN number is 123456.

613
01:02:56,583 --> 01:02:59,750
Auntie, just key in the number,
not speak into it.

614
01:02:59,833 --> 01:03:02,041
Excuse me! I'm a "miss," not an "auntie."

615
01:03:02,125 --> 01:03:03,916
Key in your PIN please.

616
01:03:09,666 --> 01:03:11,625
This movie is so boring.

617
01:03:12,166 --> 01:03:16,958
It's so badly filmed.

618
01:03:17,041 --> 01:03:18,500
Who is the director?

619
01:03:18,583 --> 01:03:21,250
The films are so B-grade, it's terrible.

620
01:03:21,333 --> 01:03:23,166
Look, how can this happen?

621
01:03:23,250 --> 01:03:28,416
The big fishes should be on top,
the smaller fishes at the bottom.

622
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:35,208
See how dumb the small fish is!
He just got himself eaten up!

623
01:03:35,708 --> 01:03:38,375
This television is terrible.
Must be some dodgy brand.

624
01:03:38,458 --> 01:03:40,208
Get someone to change it tomorrow.

625
01:03:41,583 --> 01:03:46,458
That fish is not silly
I'm the one who's silly.

626
01:04:00,083 --> 01:04:03,083
Hush, heaven loves simple folk.

627
01:04:04,541 --> 01:04:07,708
If heaven loves simple folk,

628
01:04:09,708 --> 01:04:13,041
then whom does Goddess of Mercy love?

629
01:04:14,208 --> 01:04:17,250
Goddess of Mercy loves every human being.

630
01:04:18,833 --> 01:04:22,875
And I love Astroboy the most.

631
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:30,916
Chapter Nine of Pitiful Lotus.

632
01:04:33,541 --> 01:04:37,875
Trapped in this cycle for so many years.

633
01:04:40,041 --> 01:04:44,166
Poor girl who lost touch
with her loved ones.

634
01:04:46,041 --> 01:04:49,750
God knows where they are now.

635
01:04:51,333 --> 01:04:56,791
Sleep well, baby.

636
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:03,625
With love, baby will grow well.

637
01:05:05,708 --> 01:05:10,000
Sleep well, baby.

638
01:05:11,375 --> 01:05:13,375
<i>With love...</i>

639
01:06:42,083 --> 01:06:44,416
Goddess of Mercy, your head!

640
01:06:49,458 --> 01:06:50,375
Astroboy!

641
01:06:50,916 --> 01:06:53,291
Astroboy!

642
01:06:55,583 --> 01:06:58,333
Help!

643
01:06:59,708 --> 01:07:02,250
Where is the hospital?

644
01:07:02,333 --> 01:07:04,208
Goddess of Mercy is injured.

645
01:07:04,291 --> 01:07:07,250
Where is the hospital? Help!

646
01:07:08,041 --> 01:07:12,166
Help! Help! Where is the hospital?

647
01:07:12,250 --> 01:07:17,208
Goddess of Mercy is injured.
Where is the hospital?

648
01:07:20,666 --> 01:07:22,583
Where is the hospital?

649
01:07:41,041 --> 01:07:43,083
<i>Sister Lotus, may I ask you something?</i>

650
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,125
Did you go out all by yourself just now?

651
01:07:47,625 --> 01:07:51,125
Goddess of Mercy was very sick.
I took her to the hospital.

652
01:07:51,208 --> 01:07:54,625
There are good people out there,
the bad ones are all dead.

653
01:07:54,708 --> 01:07:57,291
The kind souls out there
saved the Goddess of Mercy.

654
01:07:57,375 --> 01:07:59,458
Times are better now.

655
01:07:59,541 --> 01:08:02,000
I told you earlier, times are good.

656
01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:05,625
It's all different now.

657
01:08:05,708 --> 01:08:07,875
Even the Getai is different.

658
01:08:07,958 --> 01:08:10,250
Really? There's one thing
that has not changed.

659
01:08:10,333 --> 01:08:11,458
What hasn't changed?

660
01:08:11,541 --> 01:08:12,833
This feather.

661
01:08:16,291 --> 01:08:17,500
It doesn't look nice.

662
01:08:17,583 --> 01:08:20,833
Put it back, I'm more used to it.

663
01:08:22,083 --> 01:08:27,000
Astroboy, I have something to tell you.
Keep it to yourself.

664
01:08:27,083 --> 01:08:28,416
What is it?

665
01:08:28,500 --> 01:08:31,041
I want to make a comeback!

666
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,541
Sister Lotus, are you short of money?

667
01:08:39,458 --> 01:08:43,583
I can give you money if you need it.

668
01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:49,125
Do you remember?
The card I gave you with the PIN number?

669
01:08:49,208 --> 01:08:50,791
You can withdraw money from it.

670
01:08:52,583 --> 01:08:56,875
No, the bad guys are all gone now.
I can sing again.

671
01:08:56,958 --> 01:09:01,541
My fans are expecting me.
I can't let them wait for too long.

672
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,500
Astroboy, look!

673
01:09:03,583 --> 01:09:06,708
I'm still beautiful.
My figure hasn't changed.

674
01:09:08,041 --> 01:09:11,083
Not changed?
You've become so big and round!

675
01:09:11,166 --> 01:09:13,708
Are you mad? Are you blind?

676
01:09:14,291 --> 01:09:17,083
I wonder who's the crazy one here!

677
01:09:19,333 --> 01:09:22,666
You are the one who's crazy!

678
01:09:23,083 --> 01:09:26,041
I need to take you for a check-up.

679
01:09:26,625 --> 01:09:28,041
Come and look at me!

680
01:09:32,833 --> 01:09:37,041
I told you,
but if you still don't believe me,

681
01:09:37,125 --> 01:09:38,416
check it out yourself.

682
01:09:40,791 --> 01:09:43,458
One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four.

683
01:09:43,541 --> 01:09:46,125
Three, two, three, four, just like before.

684
01:09:50,875 --> 01:09:51,916
This is crazy!

685
01:09:56,791 --> 01:10:00,208
Astroboy, please let me sing.

686
01:10:01,708 --> 01:10:04,000
Please, Astroboy.

687
01:10:04,083 --> 01:10:06,166
All right! Don't worry.

688
01:10:07,375 --> 01:10:13,625
There's a big show next week,
and I have arranged an item for you.

689
01:10:14,166 --> 01:10:15,083
Really?

690
01:10:16,375 --> 01:10:20,166
Astroboy, if I sing again,
there'll surely be a huge turnout!

691
01:10:20,666 --> 01:10:23,333
With my talent,
I'm sure I won't embarrass you.

692
01:10:23,416 --> 01:10:25,916
My costume is going to be so stunning.

693
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,500
It'll blow your mind.

694
01:10:34,291 --> 01:10:35,458
Here I come!

695
01:10:37,125 --> 01:10:41,083
Let's put our hands together
to welcome Karen!

696
01:10:48,666 --> 01:10:51,875
<i>Don't you know I love you?</i>

697
01:10:51,958 --> 01:10:54,583
<i>Let's hold hands and fall in love</i>

698
01:10:55,708 --> 01:10:58,833
<i>When I first saw you</i>

699
01:10:58,916 --> 01:11:02,458
<i>I lost myself</i>

700
01:11:02,541 --> 01:11:05,625
<i>Don't you know I love you?</i>

701
01:11:05,708 --> 01:11:08,833
<i>Let's hold hands and fall in love</i>

702
01:11:09,375 --> 01:11:12,708
<i>Your lovelorn glance made my heart flutter</i>

703
01:11:12,791 --> 01:11:15,791
<i>I'm giving all of myself to you</i>

704
01:11:16,583 --> 01:11:19,583
<i>I love you, like the stars in the sky</i>

705
01:11:19,666 --> 01:11:23,041
<i>I love you</i>
<i>The way mice love their rice</i>

706
01:11:23,125 --> 01:11:26,833
<i>I love you, the moon represents my heart</i>

707
01:11:26,916 --> 01:11:31,541
<i>I love you, I'll give you all my love</i>

708
01:11:31,625 --> 01:11:33,208
<i>I love you</i>

709
01:11:33,291 --> 01:11:36,166
<i>I love you, like the stars in the sky</i>

710
01:11:36,250 --> 01:11:40,333
<i>I love you</i>
<i>The way mice love their rice</i>

711
01:11:40,416 --> 01:11:43,291
<i>I love you, the moon represents my heart</i>

712
01:11:43,375 --> 01:11:48,333
<i>I love you, I'll give you all my love</i>

713
01:11:48,875 --> 01:11:50,875
<i>I love you</i>

714
01:12:06,416 --> 01:12:08,208
Let's welcome Astroboy!

715
01:12:16,333 --> 01:12:19,583
<i>The clock strikes once</i>

716
01:12:19,666 --> 01:12:22,541
<i>Three people are locked up in jail</i>

717
01:12:22,625 --> 01:12:26,125
<i>Some are quiet</i>

718
01:12:26,208 --> 01:12:29,375
<i>While some are depressed</i>

719
01:12:29,458 --> 01:12:32,375
<i>Thinking about their loved ones</i>

720
01:12:36,541 --> 01:12:39,958
<i>The clock strikes twice</i>

721
01:12:40,041 --> 01:12:43,000
<i>They've been jailed for ten years</i>

722
01:12:43,083 --> 01:12:46,625
<i>Now weary and worn</i>

723
01:12:46,708 --> 01:12:49,541
<i>When their parents visit</i>

724
01:12:49,625 --> 01:12:53,000
<i>They weep in sadness</i>

725
01:12:53,791 --> 01:12:55,458
<i>Let's get high!</i>

726
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,125
<i>The clock strikes thrice</i>

727
01:13:00,208 --> 01:13:03,166
<i>It starts to thunder and pour</i>

728
01:13:03,250 --> 01:13:06,625
<i>Nobody to take care of me</i>
<i>Even when I fell ill</i>

729
01:13:06,708 --> 01:13:12,375
<i>Bedridden, I was miserable and weak</i>

730
01:13:20,166 --> 01:13:23,250
<i>The clock strikes four times</i>

731
01:13:23,333 --> 01:13:27,000
<i>When you're in jail, you can only wait</i>

732
01:13:27,083 --> 01:13:30,500
<i>No one to feed your parents at home</i>

733
01:13:30,583 --> 01:13:36,875
<i>And your family decides to abandon you</i>

734
01:13:40,666 --> 01:13:43,791
<i>Finally, the clock strikes five times</i>

735
01:13:43,875 --> 01:13:47,958
<i>Such sorrow</i>
<i>I feel at the yearning of home...</i>

736
01:13:50,125 --> 01:13:53,541
Calm down! Relax! All will go well...

737
01:13:54,750 --> 01:13:58,416
All will go well...

738
01:14:03,625 --> 01:14:05,250
Thank you, everyone, thank you!

739
01:14:05,333 --> 01:14:09,625
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is whom we've been waiting for.

740
01:14:09,708 --> 01:14:12,708
A round of applause
for our Getai Diva, Lotus!

741
01:14:25,541 --> 01:14:27,625
Sorry, I forgot about the power.

742
01:14:29,375 --> 01:14:31,500
Shit, the switch is not on.

743
01:14:41,416 --> 01:14:47,375
<i>Let me sing you</i>

744
01:14:48,958 --> 01:14:54,166
<i>A song</i>

745
01:14:55,083 --> 01:14:59,291
<i>You do not have to pay</i>

746
01:14:59,666 --> 01:15:05,083
<i>So don't be afraid</i>

747
01:15:05,541 --> 01:15:11,166
<i>One should live a righteous life</i>

748
01:15:11,583 --> 01:15:16,083
<i>One's name lives on</i>

749
01:15:16,166 --> 01:15:22,166
<i>Even after death</i>

750
01:15:24,250 --> 01:15:28,375
<i>In the world today</i>

751
01:15:29,333 --> 01:15:35,916
<i>Birds die for food</i>

752
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,625
<i>And people for wealth</i>

753
01:15:39,708 --> 01:15:43,166
<i>Are you able to stay upright?</i>

754
01:15:43,791 --> 01:15:49,375
<i>In this cycle of life and death</i>
<i>Where do we go?</i>

755
01:15:54,541 --> 01:15:58,750
<i>We came into this world</i>

756
01:15:58,833 --> 01:16:02,541
<i>With nothing</i>

757
01:16:03,166 --> 01:16:06,000
<i>And we'll leave</i>

758
01:16:06,083 --> 01:16:09,500
<i>With nothing</i>

759
01:16:09,583 --> 01:16:13,666
<i>Living in this world is like a dream</i>

760
01:16:13,750 --> 01:16:16,666
<i>When you die</i>

761
01:16:16,750 --> 01:16:20,250
<i>Your possessions</i>
<i>Will be passed on to others</i>

762
01:16:20,333 --> 01:16:24,125
<i>We have to abide</i>

763
01:16:25,458 --> 01:16:28,666
<i>By our morals</i>

764
01:16:28,750 --> 01:16:35,416
<i>It's pointless to struggle</i>
<i>For material wealth</i>

765
01:16:36,083 --> 01:16:39,708
<i>Never crave for wealth and longevity</i>

766
01:16:39,791 --> 01:16:44,750
<i>Live and let live</i>
<i>Leave your worries behind</i>

767
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:34,541
Stop talking like this.
Do you still remember?

768
01:17:35,541 --> 01:17:39,041
Your father spoke to me in the hospital.

769
01:17:39,666 --> 01:17:41,833
I don't remember and I don't want to know.

770
01:17:50,541 --> 01:17:54,250
He wanted me to give this to you.

771
01:17:56,166 --> 01:18:01,291
He had a premonition...

772
01:18:03,833 --> 01:18:08,750
that you would go through
a dark period in your life.

773
01:18:11,083 --> 01:18:15,083
<i>He wanted me to keep this for you...</i>

774
01:18:16,833 --> 01:18:19,833
<i>till the day you walked out of your world.</i>

775
01:18:21,291 --> 01:18:24,083
<i>When that day came,</i>
<i>I would hand this to you.</i>

776
01:18:25,708 --> 01:18:28,833
<i>I thought tonight</i>
<i>would be your happiest night...</i>

777
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,500
but...

778
01:18:36,666 --> 01:18:40,250
Your mother left this for you.

779
01:18:51,875 --> 01:18:54,000
Sister Lotus, open the door, it's me.

780
01:18:54,500 --> 01:18:55,708
What's the password?

781
01:18:56,333 --> 01:18:57,541
Cream crackers.

782
01:19:01,541 --> 01:19:02,833
Have you eaten?

783
01:19:02,916 --> 01:19:04,958
-Yes, I have.
-That's great.

784
01:19:05,041 --> 01:19:06,458
What's this?

785
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:09,666
This door is so plain and dull.

786
01:19:09,750 --> 01:19:12,250
With this, the door becomes beautiful.

787
01:19:12,333 --> 01:19:14,750
Look, it's the same color as your dress.

788
01:19:14,833 --> 01:19:18,000
You're so brilliant,
you can be a designer.

789
01:19:18,083 --> 01:19:22,083
Sister Lotus, I brought someone here.

790
01:19:22,166 --> 01:19:24,041
You'll be happy to see her.

791
01:19:25,291 --> 01:19:27,541
Ah Long? Is it Ah Long?

792
01:19:28,583 --> 01:19:30,250
Hang on, I'll invite her in.

793
01:19:32,291 --> 01:19:33,416
Come on in!

794
01:19:35,666 --> 01:19:37,541
Hi, Auntie, I'm Xing Xing.

795
01:19:38,083 --> 01:19:41,291
Xing Xing? Is your dad an ape?

796
01:19:43,208 --> 01:19:44,583
I don't know her.

797
01:19:45,791 --> 01:19:48,375
I'm Astroboy's friend. This is for you.

798
01:19:50,291 --> 01:19:52,583
Sister Lotus, she's my girlfriend.

799
01:19:52,666 --> 01:19:54,125
Who are you calling "auntie"?

800
01:19:54,208 --> 01:19:55,958
We're both the same age.

801
01:19:56,833 --> 01:19:59,083
Both of you look similar, one look,

802
01:19:59,166 --> 01:20:01,583
and I could tell
that she's your girlfriend.

803
01:20:03,791 --> 01:20:05,500
-Have a seat!
-Have a seat.

804
01:20:16,833 --> 01:20:18,583
Have some tea.

805
01:20:22,125 --> 01:20:24,333
Sister Lotus, what are you doing?

806
01:20:24,416 --> 01:20:27,333
He has me and that's enough!
There is no need for you here.

807
01:20:27,416 --> 01:20:31,583
I can easily see through you. Slut!

808
01:20:31,666 --> 01:20:33,375
Look...

809
01:20:36,333 --> 01:20:39,333
Your feather is different.
Do you think I can't tell?

810
01:20:39,416 --> 01:20:40,916
Perhaps you're a white snake.

811
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,750
Not done with shedding your skin, are you?

812
01:20:42,833 --> 01:20:44,708
You must be the snake
I saw when I was a kid.

813
01:20:44,791 --> 01:20:46,333
Why did you come back?

814
01:20:46,416 --> 01:20:48,125
Look at her eyes.

815
01:20:49,583 --> 01:20:52,083
I'm sure she's a spider demon!

816
01:20:52,458 --> 01:20:57,166
Her sting is coming out!
We must sterilize it!

817
01:20:58,208 --> 01:20:59,875
Sterilize it!

818
01:21:00,291 --> 01:21:03,500
Now you're croaking!
You must be a toad demon.

819
01:21:03,583 --> 01:21:04,833
Die, just die!

820
01:21:04,916 --> 01:21:07,791
Sister Lotus, please don't.
You'll frighten her!

821
01:21:07,875 --> 01:21:10,250
Frighten her? I'm tempted to hit someone!

822
01:21:11,208 --> 01:21:12,416
Wait for me downstairs.

823
01:21:12,500 --> 01:21:14,375
You don't have to wait.

824
01:21:14,458 --> 01:21:18,625
You're so blind.
She is obviously here to break us up.

825
01:21:18,708 --> 01:21:21,541
What were you thinking?

826
01:21:21,916 --> 01:21:24,666
You've wings now so you want to fly off?

827
01:21:24,750 --> 01:21:27,791
Well, fly then! Get lost!

828
01:21:28,541 --> 01:21:29,375
Hands off!

829
01:21:32,083 --> 01:21:34,166
Get lost!

830
01:21:38,250 --> 01:21:39,625
For the last 20 years,

831
01:21:40,291 --> 01:21:43,333
you've repeatedly said
that I can't step out of the house.

832
01:21:44,250 --> 01:21:47,333
When in fact,
it's you who can't move on, not me!

833
01:21:47,791 --> 01:21:50,125
You're useless and you lack integrity.

834
01:21:50,875 --> 01:21:55,875
Who else but me
helped you when you wet your pants?

835
01:21:55,958 --> 01:21:57,375
Were it not for me,

836
01:21:57,958 --> 01:22:00,041
would you have achieved such success?

837
01:22:01,500 --> 01:22:05,125
Since you don't need me anymore,
you may leave now.

838
01:22:05,875 --> 01:22:10,958
Your mom abandoned you,
and you expect me to keep you?

839
01:22:11,333 --> 01:22:14,750
You've been a burden to me
throughout my life.

840
01:22:14,833 --> 01:22:17,208
What are you looking at? Get lost!

The supper has gone bad,

Go take a shower.

I know you've missed home.

01:24:59,041 --> 01:25:01,375
He flew away.

885
01:25:06,208 --> 01:25:09,875
Go take a shower, you're all sweaty.

886
01:25:10,208 --> 01:25:11,666
Take a shower

887
01:25:13,833 --> 01:25:15,041
What are you doing?

888
01:25:16,500 --> 01:25:18,625
Are you showering or peeing?

889
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:26,041
If you need soap,
use the green one on the third shelf.

890
01:25:27,916 --> 01:25:30,625
Did you hear what I said? Over...

891
01:25:33,250 --> 01:25:34,833
I hear the sound of water.

892
01:25:35,416 --> 01:25:37,541
Remember to wash your hair.

893
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:42,625
After you wash your hair, wash your face
and then your body.

894
01:25:43,166 --> 01:25:46,708
Don't forget your smelly butt and legs.

895
01:25:47,458 --> 01:25:50,333
Turn off the tap and come out. Over...

896
01:26:02,208 --> 01:26:03,125
Have a seat.

897
01:26:06,375 --> 01:26:07,416
Sit.

898
01:26:10,250 --> 01:26:11,208
Sit.

899
01:26:22,166 --> 01:26:23,125
Thank you.

900
01:26:26,833 --> 01:26:28,208
Put on some clothes.

901
01:26:30,666 --> 01:26:32,208
Put on some clothes!

902
01:26:49,708 --> 01:26:50,541
Hey!

903
01:26:51,791 --> 01:26:56,000
This is a set.
You used to wear it at Haw Par Villa.

904
01:27:03,125 --> 01:27:06,333
You're a grown man,
but you don't know how to tidy your hair.

905
01:27:06,416 --> 01:27:07,708
It's still so wet.

906
01:27:09,166 --> 01:27:10,791
Luckily I have this.

907
01:27:11,916 --> 01:27:13,291
What are you trying to do?

908
01:27:13,375 --> 01:27:15,750
This is good stuff, from overseas.

909
01:27:15,833 --> 01:27:17,375
Your hair will dry in no time.

910
01:27:23,666 --> 01:27:27,958
Why are you so nervous? Something wrong?

911
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:31,500
Nope.

912
01:27:32,791 --> 01:27:33,750
No?

913
01:27:38,333 --> 01:27:40,000
I'm just here to make some money.

914
01:27:41,833 --> 01:27:43,333
You want to start working?

915
01:27:43,875 --> 01:27:47,833
You don't have to, I have a card,
and it gives me money.

916
01:27:49,250 --> 01:27:50,208
Really?

917
01:27:51,791 --> 01:27:53,833
But I can't take it out now.

918
01:27:56,166 --> 01:27:58,875
Where is it? Is it here?

919
01:28:01,291 --> 01:28:04,708
Careful, it's dangerous at night.

920
01:28:04,791 --> 01:28:07,416
I can't take it out now.
Someone will steal it.

921
01:28:07,500 --> 01:28:11,666
It's a powerful card.
Just flip it and say the PIN number.

922
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:13,166
A few thousand dollars.

923
01:28:15,208 --> 01:28:17,250
There are lots of evil people out there.

924
01:28:17,333 --> 01:28:18,916
I'll get it for you tomorrow.

925
01:28:23,416 --> 01:28:26,458
You go to bed. I can't sleep.

926
01:28:27,458 --> 01:28:29,166
When I sleep, I may not wake up.

927
01:28:29,250 --> 01:28:32,583
This started happening
ever since you left.

928
01:28:33,500 --> 01:28:40,041
And when I do fall asleep,
I hear snakes hissing.

929
01:28:41,833 --> 01:28:44,125
I will kill the snake if I see one.

930
01:29:00,875 --> 01:29:01,833
Good night.

931
01:29:11,750 --> 01:29:13,500
They're coming.

932
01:29:13,583 --> 01:29:14,541
They're coming?

933
01:29:14,625 --> 01:29:15,791
It's dangerous!

934
01:29:15,875 --> 01:29:18,333
Hide!

935
01:29:18,750 --> 01:29:19,791
Where?

936
01:29:19,875 --> 01:29:23,208
Hide yourself, quick!

937
01:29:23,291 --> 01:29:26,375
Hide!

938
01:29:26,458 --> 01:29:27,291
Where?

939
01:29:27,875 --> 01:29:30,500
I shouldn't have kept these clothes here.

940
01:29:30,583 --> 01:29:31,416
Here?

941
01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:33,041
It's safe!

942
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:47,583
I'm warning you,
you had better not come after me.

943
01:29:47,666 --> 01:29:49,541
I have money now!

944
01:29:50,333 --> 01:29:52,833
Don't hide behind a mask.
I know who you are.

945
01:29:55,583 --> 01:30:00,208
You're a bastard.
I hate you, curse your family.

946
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:09,083
Hey, are you all right?

947
01:30:10,708 --> 01:30:14,833
Don't worry,
I'll take care of you because...

948
01:30:16,625 --> 01:30:20,875
<i>I gave you my youth</i>

949
01:30:21,416 --> 01:30:25,708
<i>And stayed by your side into old age</i>

950
01:30:26,375 --> 01:30:31,166
<i>I've seen everything in this world</i>

951
01:30:32,083 --> 01:30:36,291
<i>And you're most precious to me</i>

952
01:30:37,583 --> 01:30:41,625
<i>I gave you my whole life</i>

953
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,541
<i>To discover the meaning of true happiness</i>

954
01:30:47,375 --> 01:30:51,833
<i>Till the day we meet again in heaven</i>

955
01:30:52,541 --> 01:30:56,833
<i>You can go first</i>

956
01:30:57,708 --> 01:31:03,708
<i>Because I can't bear to let you</i>

957
01:31:04,458 --> 01:31:09,916
<i>Weep for me</i>

958
01:32:02,916 --> 01:32:03,958
Did they come?

959
01:32:06,208 --> 01:32:09,333
Ever since you left,
they're here almost every night,

960
01:32:09,416 --> 01:32:10,916
but not for the past few days.

961
01:32:17,583 --> 01:32:18,875
Where did you go?

962
01:32:19,458 --> 01:32:21,083
Why didn't you call me?

963
01:32:21,916 --> 01:32:25,375
They're searching high and low for me.
How could I come back for you?

964
01:32:27,916 --> 01:32:31,083
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have taken it.

965
01:32:31,666 --> 01:32:34,625
I didn't think they would find out.

966
01:32:35,250 --> 01:32:36,750
I only took two packets.

967
01:32:38,958 --> 01:32:40,791
Do you remember where you left them?

968
01:32:45,250 --> 01:32:46,958
It's with another girl now.

969
01:32:48,708 --> 01:32:52,416
I didn't take it. Do you doubt me?

970
01:32:58,166 --> 01:32:59,750
Didn't you say you love me?

971
01:32:59,833 --> 01:33:01,333
It's not that I don't believe you.

972
01:33:01,416 --> 01:33:02,791
You don't love me at all.

973
01:33:04,208 --> 01:33:05,291
Come on.

974
01:33:08,750 --> 01:33:11,875
I'm trying my best to raise money.
This is all I've got.

975
01:33:15,250 --> 01:33:16,291
Come on?

976
01:33:20,750 --> 01:33:21,916
Come on?

977
01:33:27,541 --> 01:33:28,833
I'd better be off.

978
01:33:29,458 --> 01:33:32,958
Don't go.

979
01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:51,916
What's wrong with you?

980
01:33:53,958 --> 01:33:55,791
I need to answer this phone call.

981
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:00,083
Wait for me.

982
01:34:04,541 --> 01:34:06,541
<i>Hello?</i>

983
01:34:06,625 --> 01:34:07,750
Who is that?

984
01:34:08,916 --> 01:34:10,208
My mother.

985
01:34:10,291 --> 01:34:14,000
<i>Hello, is he there yet?</i>
<i>Try to stall for time.</i>

986
01:34:14,083 --> 01:34:17,041
<i>We'll be there in ten minutes.</i>

987
01:34:17,125 --> 01:34:18,500
<i>You know our style.</i>

988
01:34:18,583 --> 01:34:21,750
<i>If I can't get the money from him,</i>
<i>I'll get it from your body!</i>

989
01:34:22,291 --> 01:34:24,166
<i>$20,000 is not a small amount!</i>

990
01:34:25,458 --> 01:34:26,416
<i>Hello?</i>

991
01:34:27,041 --> 01:34:31,208
<i>Just stall for time.</i>
<i>We'll be there in ten minutes.</i>

992
01:34:33,625 --> 01:34:37,791
<i>Hello? Don't feign ignorance</i>
<i>with me! Hello?</i>

993
01:34:48,375 --> 01:34:53,208
Listen to me,
human feelings are so complicated.

994
01:34:54,125 --> 01:34:57,916
Sometimes you feel happy
and sometimes sad.

995
01:34:58,916 --> 01:35:02,458
Time flies in the blink of an eye.

996
01:35:03,791 --> 01:35:06,791
Without love, there's no pain.

997
01:35:08,541 --> 01:35:11,375
Without pain, there's no love.

998
01:35:24,791 --> 01:35:27,875
<i>You're a needle</i>

999
01:35:28,125 --> 01:35:31,416
<i>I'm a thread</i>

1000
01:35:31,708 --> 01:35:36,833
<i>Our feelings bind us together, forever</i>

1001
01:35:41,833 --> 01:35:47,125
<i>You're like a little umbrella</i>

1002
01:35:47,750 --> 01:35:52,583
<i>I feel alive with you around</i>

1003
01:35:54,708 --> 01:36:01,000
<i>When you're by my side</i>
<i>I don't feel alone</i>

1004
01:36:01,875 --> 01:36:06,041
<i>Let us sing together</i>

1005
01:36:08,500 --> 01:36:13,958
<i>You're my little umbrella</i>

1006
01:36:14,458 --> 01:36:19,625
<i>I want to be with you forever</i>

1007
01:36:21,375 --> 01:36:24,458
<i>You're a needle</i>

1008
01:36:24,541 --> 01:36:27,375
<i>I'm a thread</i>

1009
01:36:28,458 --> 01:36:33,708
<i>Our feelings bind us together forever</i>

1010
01:36:41,833 --> 01:36:46,208
<i>Little umbrella, little umbrella</i>

1011
01:36:46,875 --> 01:36:50,708
<i>I treasure you with all my life</i>

1012
01:36:50,791 --> 01:36:54,750
<i>Come rain or shine</i>

1013
01:36:54,833 --> 01:36:58,083
<i>I'll be safe with you by my side</i>

1014
01:36:58,166 --> 01:37:02,750
<i>Little umbrella, little umbrella</i>

1015
01:37:02,875 --> 01:37:07,000
<i>Our feelings for each other</i>
<i>Will never change</i>

1016
01:37:07,083 --> 01:37:11,166
<i>We'll treasure each other</i>

1017
01:37:11,250 --> 01:37:14,625
<i>Our feelings</i>

<i>If I had a million dollars</i>

1029
01:38:26,291 --> 01:38:31,416
<i>I would hop on a plane</i>

<i>Off to Hawaii for a tan</i>
<i>And Japan for sushi</i>

1031
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,708
<i>If I had a million dollars</i>

1032
01:38:42,791 --> 01:38:47,750
<i>I would buy a car, a house</i>
<i>And enjoy great food</i>

1033
01:38:47,833 --> 01:38:54,041
<i>Who is lucky enough to be my wife?</i>

ASTROBOY

1036
01:40:19,666 --> 01:40:20,583
Good morning.

1037
01:40:24,166 --> 01:40:28,166
I'll go look for a job later
and help you shoulder the expenses.

1038
01:40:31,583 --> 01:40:34,125
Wait outside.
Breakfast will be ready soon.

1039
01:40:37,166 --> 01:40:38,541
You're not him.

1040
01:40:41,833 --> 01:40:46,708
My gut feeling tells me you're not him.

1041
01:40:51,750 --> 01:40:54,833
Who are you?

1042
01:40:59,125 --> 01:41:01,291
I'll be whoever you want me to be.

1043
01:41:01,625 --> 01:41:04,208
I have a feeling that you're in trouble.

1044
01:41:07,125 --> 01:41:11,166
You can stay.

1045
01:41:17,333 --> 01:41:20,666
Why would you help me
when you don't know me?

1046
01:41:25,500 --> 01:41:32,083
<i>Nobody knows my heart</i>

1047
01:41:35,416 --> 01:41:42,375
<i>Two brothers falling for me</i>
<i>At the same time</i>

1048
01:42:10,333 --> 01:42:14,625
Keep this telephone number to yourself,
don't tell anyone about it.

1049
01:42:15,666 --> 01:42:19,333
Look out for people in uniform
when you're in trouble.

1050
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:21,416
They wear a name tag here.

1051
01:42:21,791 --> 01:42:25,458
Tell them to call this number
and you'll find me.

1052
01:42:40,083 --> 01:42:44,500
Hi, Mother, how are you?

1053
01:42:48,625 --> 01:42:50,000
Does it still hurt?

1054
01:42:53,333 --> 01:42:59,041
I'll get the money
and bring you to see the doctor soon.

1055
01:43:03,125 --> 01:43:04,916
I'm fine, don't worry about me.

1056
01:43:08,250 --> 01:43:09,958
I'll take care of myself.

1057
01:43:12,791 --> 01:43:15,041
You have to
take good care of yourself, too.

1058
01:43:17,833 --> 01:43:18,916
Please don't worry.

1059
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,458
Okay, Mother.
I'll talk to you again, I'm busy.

1060
01:43:26,791 --> 01:43:28,875
I promise I'll call again, all right?

1061
01:43:28,958 --> 01:43:31,083
Okay. Bye-bye.

1062
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:10,458
-Boss!
-Hello, how can I help you?

1063
01:44:10,541 --> 01:44:12,250
-How much is this?
-Ten dollars.

1064
01:44:12,333 --> 01:44:13,375
Can you give me a discount?

1065
01:44:13,458 --> 01:44:16,750
Already discounted price,
no more reduction.

1066
01:44:24,916 --> 01:44:28,541
Hey! You there, stop.

1067
01:44:28,625 --> 01:44:30,666
Stop! Don't run!

1068
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:35,833
Didn't I ask you to stop?

1069
01:44:37,875 --> 01:44:39,458
You can't run away from me.

1070
01:44:39,541 --> 01:44:41,583
Didn't I ask you to stop?

1071
01:44:41,666 --> 01:44:44,333
Where are you running off to
with my drugs!

1072
01:44:44,416 --> 01:44:47,750
You still have the cheek to run.
Pick him up!

1073
01:44:55,416 --> 01:44:57,916
When do you intend to return the money?

1074
01:45:00,208 --> 01:45:03,291
Brother Tiger, please let me go.

1075
01:45:08,500 --> 01:45:10,875
I'll give you two choices then.

1076
01:45:11,458 --> 01:45:14,375
You can choose either side of your face.

1077
01:45:17,416 --> 01:45:19,958
No! Please don't!

1078
01:45:22,666 --> 01:45:25,250
I have money. I do have money.

1079
01:45:29,666 --> 01:45:32,375
Can you give me three more days?

1080
01:45:32,458 --> 01:45:35,458
I'll pay you back in three days' time.

1081
01:45:35,541 --> 01:45:37,916
Fine, three days and nothing more.

1082
01:45:38,416 --> 01:45:42,208
You only have three days to pay up!

1083
01:45:44,125 --> 01:45:46,041
Let's go!

1084
01:45:46,125 --> 01:45:48,000
Kill him, if he still doesn't pay up!

1085
01:46:14,583 --> 01:46:15,833
You're back?

1086
01:46:20,500 --> 01:46:21,958
What happened to your face?

1087
01:46:23,125 --> 01:46:24,416
What exactly happened?

1088
01:46:41,458 --> 01:46:43,041
I bought you a present.

1089
01:47:04,041 --> 01:47:05,250
Put it on.

1090
01:47:06,166 --> 01:47:07,791
Yours is too old-fashioned.

1091
01:47:10,541 --> 01:47:12,375
My father gave it to me.

1092
01:47:16,041 --> 01:47:17,541
I can't change it.

1093
01:47:21,375 --> 01:47:23,250
But the new one looks much better.

1094
01:47:26,333 --> 01:47:31,541
My father told me
this was passed down from my mother.

1095
01:47:32,291 --> 01:47:39,166
When I first met him,
my father said that this is very valuable.

1096
01:47:40,375 --> 01:47:44,416
It's worth more than $10,000, so I can't.

1097
01:47:47,416 --> 01:47:48,875
Is it really worth that much?

1098
01:47:51,041 --> 01:47:52,166
Yes.

1099
01:47:58,125 --> 01:47:59,416
How about this?

1100
01:48:02,541 --> 01:48:06,000
I will give you this necklace
in exchange for yours.

1101
01:48:09,250 --> 01:48:12,416
I feel as if my dad
is with me when I wear it.

1102
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:15,458
I can't give it up.

1103
01:48:16,416 --> 01:48:18,333
Please, let's just exchange it?

1104
01:48:18,416 --> 01:48:20,625
-Give it to me.
-No.

1105
01:48:20,708 --> 01:48:22,250
-No.
-Just let me look at it.

1106
01:48:22,333 --> 01:48:24,041
Just a look. Let me have a look!

1107
01:48:26,208 --> 01:48:29,625
-Please give it to me?
-No, I cannot.

1108
01:48:30,625 --> 01:48:31,958
I really need the money.

1109
01:48:33,250 --> 01:48:35,041
I'll be killed if I don't pay up.

1110
01:48:36,625 --> 01:48:37,916
Please give it to me.

1111
01:48:38,625 --> 01:48:40,708
-Treat it as a favor, will you?
-No.

1112
01:48:41,583 --> 01:48:44,541
No. You can have anything else but this.

1113
01:48:44,625 --> 01:48:45,958
Please give it to me.

1114
01:48:46,041 --> 01:48:47,833
No! I can't! I won't!

1115
01:48:47,916 --> 01:48:49,875
I'll be killed if I don't have it.

1116
01:48:49,958 --> 01:48:51,625
Give it to me, will you?

1117
01:48:51,708 --> 01:48:55,375
Don't snatch it from me.
Don't pull my clothes.

1118
01:48:57,083 --> 01:49:00,000
Do you really want me to die?

1119
01:49:01,333 --> 01:49:02,416
You really want me to die!

1120
01:49:02,500 --> 01:49:05,000
Astroboy, don't forsake me!

1121
01:49:05,083 --> 01:49:06,875
Astroboy, don't forsake me!

1122
01:49:06,958 --> 01:49:08,833
-Let go!
-No!

1123
01:49:25,625 --> 01:49:26,833
Just die!

1124
01:49:28,666 --> 01:49:30,291
Just die!

1125
01:49:36,666 --> 01:49:42,125
I'm on my knees, I beg you!
Please, have a heart.

1126
01:49:42,208 --> 01:49:44,000
Won't you please give me a chance?

1127
01:49:44,083 --> 01:49:48,000
I'm on my knees, I beg you!

1128
01:49:48,083 --> 01:49:49,083
Enough!

1129
01:50:07,750 --> 01:50:08,916
Just one last look.

1130
01:50:11,333 --> 01:50:13,291
Let me have one last look at it.

1131
01:50:14,583 --> 01:50:19,791
Please... I beg you.

1132
01:50:23,708 --> 01:50:26,041
Just one last look.

1133
01:50:47,375 --> 01:50:48,875
Hey! Spit it out!

1134
01:50:51,208 --> 01:50:52,291
Spit it out!

1135
01:50:53,333 --> 01:50:55,708
You hear me! Spit it out!

1136
01:50:58,541 --> 01:50:59,750
Spit it out!

1137
01:51:02,125 --> 01:51:03,333
Spit it out!

1138
01:51:09,541 --> 01:51:10,708
Spit it out!

1139
01:51:12,791 --> 01:51:17,958
<i>Chapter Eleven of our angry Lotus</i>

1140
01:51:18,041 --> 01:51:20,916
<i>Who has turned wrathful</i>

1141
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:23,541
<i>Was she born to suffer endlessly?</i>

1142
01:51:23,625 --> 01:51:28,708
<i>Did she even have a chance?</i>

1143
01:51:28,958 --> 01:51:33,291
<i>How long will bitterness haunt her?</i>

1144
01:51:34,291 --> 01:51:39,791
<i>Chapter Twelve of Pitiful Lotus</i>

1145
01:51:39,875 --> 01:51:44,791
<i>Where darkness engulfs her</i>
<i>With no respite</i>

1146
01:51:44,875 --> 01:51:50,250
<i>Life and youth are fading away</i>

1147
01:51:50,666 --> 01:51:57,166
<i>How will she carry on?</i>

1148
01:51:59,500 --> 01:52:05,083
<i>Oh, poor Lotus</i>

1149
01:52:05,500 --> 01:52:12,083
<i>Pitiful Lotus!</i>

1150
01:53:13,416 --> 01:53:15,625
<i>I want to sing "12 Lotus."</i>

1151
01:53:15,708 --> 01:53:18,333
<i>"12 Lotus" is only sung by adults.</i>

1152
01:53:18,416 --> 01:53:20,583
<i>Do you know the meaning of the lyrics?</i>

1153
01:53:22,125 --> 01:53:24,000
<i>I'll understand when I grow up.</i>
