- Hello, Elly May. Miss Jane, this here is Miss Laurette Voleur. Bonjour, Mademoiselle Laurette. Comment allez-vous? Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut. - I must only speak the English in front of Elly May. - Of course. Uh, Mr. Clampett, drawing from Commerce Bank clientele... I have selected some preliminary bridal prospects for you. Oh.! Oh, dear.! Oh, my goodness.! Mon Dieu.! How clumsy of me. I'm so sorry. Oh. Oh, it's no... no problem. No problem whatsoever. At the bank, I have these in triplicate. - I shall return. - I'll walk you out, Miss Hathaway. Why, thank you, Jethro. So, Mr. Clampett... perhaps we should discuss my, uh, weekly salary? Shoo! Shoo! Shoo, cow. Excuse me, I'm just going to reach over here and press this button. Hello. Can anyone hear me? Can anyone hear me?
- Yeah. - Can somebody help me? - Hello? - Miss Hathaway? How's it feel to live in Beverly Hills? - Hello? - I can hear you. Where are you? Please, can somebody let me out of here? I am trapped inside the wall. Hello? Hello? - Hello? Hello? - Just stay put, Miss Hathaway. I'll get ya out. Hello? Watch your head. Miss Hathaway? Yoo-hoo! I'm in. This is gonna be easier than I thought. So, they bought the French thing? Mais oui. They're bumpkins. It's a crime they have so much money. It's worse than a foreigner winning the lottery. I know exactly what I'm gonna do. First, I'll lure in Clampett. That'll be easy.
Next, I'll take Elly May and slap on a little window dressing. Make him think I turned her into a real lady. Then, when the time is just right... I'll play one off the other and... wham! - They won't know what hit 'em. - You're not gonna sleep with him, are you? - That's not your problem. - Okay, Laura? I got my hand on your butt. Okay. Hold on. I got someone on call waiting. Hello? Hello? It was nobody. Okay, now. I got my hand on your butt, and I'm squeezing. Tyler! Get your hand off my butt. - Mr. Drysdale! - Get a pencil and write this down. Yes, Mr. Drysdale. Right. Uh-huh. I can do that. Howdy, I'm Elly May. You must be Mr. Drysdale's son. Well, thanks for picking me up. Is this here your car? Are we goin' to school, or are we just goin' to stand here all day?
- Hey, y'all. Howdy. - She's with me. Heck, Morgan, I'm tryin' to be friendly-like... but these folks don't seem to want to say howdy back. - They sure are shy. - So what? Elly May, who cares? They're losers. Not one of them is worth over 300 million. - Uh-oh. - Well, if it isn't Morgan... spelled big "M," little "organ. " - We've gotta go. - Not so fast, bank boy. Cough up your lunch money now. All I have is $400 in traveler's checks. So just sign them and hand them over. Jake, show these two what happened to the last guy who didn't pay up. Well, I can wire the money to your account. Before the close of the business day. I don't see why you had to give anything to that gorilla. Well, that gorilla is the captain of the wrestling team. Wow. I never wrestled a team before. - Well, 'lessen you count the McCarter triplets. - Cappuccino? - What? - Two. Thank you, Tiffany. This here electronic whittler works real fine. Why, hello, Jethro.
Well, howdy, Miss Hathaway. My, don't you look strapping in your new business suit. - Armani? - No. I'm pretty sure it's wool. Sure does itch like wool. - Miss Hathaway? - Oh, no, no. We're colleagues. Call meJane. MeJane, you Jethro. Okay. Okay, Miss Hathaway. Can I get one of these electronic whittlers for UncleJed? - It's his birthday coming up real soon. - Let me make a note of that. And speaking of your UncleJed, back to the job at hand... - Finding him a suitable wife. - Can I help? Heck, back in the hollow, my ma was the best matchmaker around. - Is that so? - Uh-huh. First thing she'd do is get the back-fence gossips start a-jawin'. Why, we could drop some items in the trades. - Excellent. - Thank you. And then she'd... What'd she do? She'd hang a sign on the church bulletin board. Maybe we can get a big bulletin board.
No, no. We'd better be a bit more discreet. Tell me, what are your uncle's favorite things? Shoot, that's easy. - He likes smoked crawdads. - Mm-hmm. Sowbelly and hand-slung chitterlings. And sponge cake. Besides food, Jethro. - Oh. He likes people who don't waste nothin'. - Oh, go on. And his favorite song is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by Hank Williams. - Yes! - Yes, ma'am. Entrez. Excuse me, ma'am, uh... is that Hank Williams I hear? I'm sorry. It must be too loud. - I will... - No, no. I was just listening to it while repairing this old dress... and, uh, waiting for my sponge cake to bake. You're cookin' a sponge cake? Oui. It is my spécialité. I love this music. It makes me want to dance. It's so romantic. You are a fine dancer... and a very attractive man. Whomever Miss Hathaway finds for you to marry... is going to be a very happy woman.
Well, thank you, ma'am. And all women know "a-penis" is hard to find. - Excuse me? - "A-penis. " Oh, happiness! Well, uh... I've disturbed your work enough, ma'am. Jethro, have you considered getting a new car? Nope, but I told UncleJed we should slap a new coat of paint on this'n. But he said just 'cause we had money... we didn't need to go showing' it off. I was just thinking, oh, you should, you should. You would look so good in a big new fashy car. Big fashy car, huh? Maybe. Yep. Okay, Miss Jane, I'm 'bout ready to pull over. You are so impossibly romantic. Close your eyes. Hot diggity dog! Okay, now, keep 'em closed. How charmingly old-fashioned. Mm. Open your eyes and look up. Ain't she pretty? Oh, my God! The chief is going to kill me. We'll be back with the financial news after this message. Howdy. I'm jethro Bodine. I'm talkin' to all you ladies out there.
Are you looking for the perfect husband? Then considerjed Clampett. Yes, Jed is rated triple A's... for a-ttractive, a-vailable, and a-billionaire. So come on down to the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills... and see me, jethro Bodine, vice president. - Dear, what's the matter? - And remember. I'm not onlyJed's wife finder. I'm also his nephew. I'm ruined. Oh! Howdy. Thank you. Hathaway, you are embarrassing this institution! This is a carnival. What kind of a numbskull would think up a harebrained scheme like this? That'd be me, Mr. Drysdale. Y - Your idea. Well... Well, it's brilliant.! Insightful. Cutting edge. You're a born leader, son. We've have had 1,215 women respond to the ad. - And two men. - Wh... Once I've entered the data into the computer, worked my magic... presto. - We will narrow them down to a precious few. - Send in the next five. Oh, uh, Hathaway, uh, you're not validating parking, are you?
Parking? Um... Oh, that was my idea too, Mr. Drysdale. Well, it's a brilliant idea, if I may say so. Let's see, uh... 1,215 women... and two men. At a dollar and a half every 15 minutes. Ah, well, that's only gonna cost me 5... 5-5-5-5... $5,000. Well... - Bonjour, Jethro. - Well, howdy, Miss Laurette. What is all of this? Miss Jane said a big fancy car would be more suiting' to my personality... so I'm fixin' on makin' one out of my truck. Personally, if it would have been me, I would have just bought a new one. But... carry on. What a moron. Hey, organ, what are you doin' here? - You come here to wrestle me? - No. Or did you just come here to kiss the gym foor? Come on, Morgan, just kiss it. Come on, kiss it. Why don't you pick on somebody your own size? And what business is it of yours, baby? What are you doing here, anyway, corn pone? I came by to join the wrestling' team. I don't wrestle girls, at least not in the gym... but in your case, I'll make an exception. - Good. Then let's get started. - Whoa! - I'm gonna kill you!
- I'm goin' to kill you.! No one is going to kill anyone here! Not without a signed permission slip from home. - Got it? - Got it, Coach. So, Jethro... building on your visionary plan for finding your uncle's wife... I've... I've created this rather modest database program. I've cross-referenced the applicants... against the parameters you indicated he desired... by specifying the search criteria into functional groupings... and selecting the fileid values... through the use of embedded commands... and, of course, basic Boolean algebra. Miss Jane, I have no idea what you just said. Oh, Jethro, you are so delightfully... primitive. Uh, Miss Hathaway, would you step into my office, please. - And bring the, uh, the Arlington file. - Yes, sir. - I'm sorry. - Mr. Drysdale... since I have trained three Kentucky Derby winners for other people... it seems a logical extension that I'd want to own and operate my own stud farm... Arlington Acres. Well, it's just... It's just a very exciting idea. Then you agree that his net worth and rural background... makeJed Clampett the perfect partner for such a venture. Absolutely. You and Clampett, partners in a stud farm. - I think it's a wonderful idea. - So you'll call him and arrange for us to meet? You bet I will. - I'm sure he can't wait to see you. - Oh. In fact, as soon as you leave, I'm going to call Mr. Clampett on the phone. - Ah! This is very exciting.
- Isn't it? Yeah. But, chief, you specifiically told me... that you did not want Mr. Clampett involved in such a risky venture. Exactly. Shred and burn that. And don't ever let that lady back in this offiice. It went fantastically. Mr. Drysdale said I would be a perfect partner for Mr. Clampett. Yes. I'll tell you more when I get back. Bye. Excuse me, ma'am. If Mr. Drysdale thinks you'd be perfect for my UncleJed... I can take you over to meet him right now. - Wonderful! - Come on. I think you're gonna like Miss Arlington. Miss Jane picked her out with her computer-datin' base. Then Mr. Drysdale personally approved her. Computer-datin' base, huh? What'll they think of next? - Hello, Miss Arlington. - Mr. Clampett. Well, gee, uh, I don't know quite how to begin. Then let me start. I know, by just looking at you, you are the perfect man for my stud farm. - Stud farm? - If it makes it any easier for you... I am willing to take on multiple partners. Multiple partners.
Uh, no offense, ma'am... but I'm afraid I'd find that just a tad uncomfortable. Well, what if it was with somebody you really trusted... like Mr. Drysdale? I don't think this is the sort of thing... Mr. Drysdale would want to be involved in. Oh, well, you should have seen his face... when I showed him the pictures of what I have in mind. - He was very excited. - I don't doubt that. Would you like to see the pictures? They're very detailed. Not just yet! Don't you think we're movin' awful fast? Oh, not as far as I'm concerned, Mr. Clampett. I've got my license, and I'm ready to breed. Excuse me, ma'am, uh... I could use a glass of iced tea. - Yourself? - Sure. I'm learnin' Elly May to ride my motorcycle! - How do you stop this thing? - I'm gonna tan your hide.! You're doin' real good. Now put on the brakes! - Granny? - Whoa.! I'm gonna get you! Granny! Watch your head! Stop! Oh-oh-oh! - Dang!
- I'll help you, Granny. Come on. Swim over here. There we go. Give me your hand. Upsy-daisy. Come on. There we... Ow.! Granny.! Ow! Ow! Ow! Granny! Miss Arlington, you reckon if we got hitched, you could help me tame my daughter, Elly May? Are you proposing we get married? Well, I wouldn't feel right about breeding' if we didn't. Okay, men, that's it. Hit the mineral baths. - Howdy. - Well, well. Look who's here. - Missed you at practice, babe. - She didn't come alone. Hey, Morgan. What are you doin' here? - Well, who's all these folks? - Just to keep things fair. - Is this some kind of joke? - Well, come on, baby.
Let's wrestle. - Come on! - Come on. Give it to him. Oh, wait. That's mine. It's mine. Come on, man. You can do it! - Fight in the gym. - All right. - Cool. Wait. Hold on. I'm getting a fax. Meet me there. This here's what I call the Clampett clamp. That's not legal. Really? Well, try this one. Hey, come on. - I call it the possum pretzel. - That ain't legal either. - Well... - Ow! What about the hickory nut crunch? That's definitely not legal! Well, ain't nothin' legal 'round here? One, two... One, two...
- Yeah! - Three. Young lady! I think we've found a new team captain. Sorry, Derek. You're demoted. Come here, Morgan. Thanks, y'all. I truly appreciate y'all a-tossin' me this here fancy birthday party. Everybody looks just as nice as peach pie. I just got one question for you... - Who are these people? - Well... Howdy, Miss Jane. Oh, my goodness, jethro. I took your advice... made me a big fashy car. It's very you. Very, very macho. - Thank you. - Well, shall we? Is Pa here yet? Elly May Clampett, you look plumb elegant. Thanks, Pa. I feel kind of funny gettin' all gussied up like this... but Miss Laurette says I'll get used to it. You've done a fine job in turning' Elly May into a lady. Thank you, Monsieur Clampett. She is a diamond in ze rough, just like you. What's all this? Sushi, calamari, caviar.
What? Speak American. Listen, I was wondering if, um... maybe sometime we could go out. Not on a date or anything, but just maybe to go get some burgers or something. Take off that silly hat. Then again, I would, uh... understand if you didn't want to. Sounds like fun. So, Jethro, once we find your UncleJed a wife... - Perhaps it'll be your turn to get hitched. - Me? No. I'm gonna be a Hollywood bachelor... date all the hot young starlets. Well, let me remind you not to overlook the charms of the slightly older woman... who more than makes up with experience what she may lack in other arenas. Okay, Miss Jane. No problem. - Oh, please, let me. - Tyler, clam it. It's showtime. Miss Laurette? Why are you cryin'? I - I have just spoken with your father. And he says I would make ze best wife for him. - He did? - But as happy as I would make him... I am afraid that you will think I'm too young and beautiful to be your mother. Who'd of thought it... Miss Laurette and my pa? Hmm.
Oh, where is he? Oh. So I can call you whenever I want? You'll hotfoot it right over? - Mm-hmm. - Hot dog. Thank you. I will miss Elly May so much when you find yourself a wife. - And I will miss you too. - I hadn't thought about you not bein' here. It's sure been a pleasure to have you stay with us. Thank you. Jed? Elly May said ze strangest thing to me tonight. She said she would love for me to be her mother. I'm sure she'll get over the disappointment in whomever you choose. I love Elly May just like a daughter. Perhaps you should speak with her. I'll do that. Well. This here's a big night for you... all dressed up and ladylike at your first Beverly Hills social. Your ma would be so proud. Thanks, Pa. Miss Laurette said she was right proud too. You like her, don't you? Well, I like her just fine, and I guess you like her too. I certainly do. All I want is for you to be happy, Elly May. I just want you to be happy, Pa. Well, I reckon there's no time like right now.
- Happy birthday, jed. - Happy birthday. Oh! Well, I got a feeling you're worth every dime of it too. Step up here. Let me take a good look at you. Boy, you're looking good on your birthday. I think we need a speech, don't you? Speech. You know, I have more than any one man deserves... yet there is something I'd like for my birthday. I'd like to ask the one who helped Elly May become a lady to be my wife. Miss Laurette Voleur. Oh, I am so surprised. This is ze happiest day of my life. Huh? All right. Congratulations. - You don't say. - I do say! Well, I'll be. Who's he marrying? Oh, some foozy with a fancy accent. She seems sneaky to me. I don't trust her. Oh, Granny, you don't trust anybody. Never mind about that. I'm inviting' you to the weddin' and the cousins. But just from Jed's side, not including' the Kelloggs nor the Daggs. Now, Granny, you're not gonna get into your tonic... and disappear like you did when Jed married your daughter, are ya? Jethrine, your UncleJed's gettin' married.
I always cry at weddings. Oh, now, honey. I do. Well, you got both kinds of chickens here, Jed. - White and the brown. - What you got there, son? Oh, it's just a standard prenuptial agreement. Miss Hathaway said for you not to tell anyone that you signed it, not even her. Well, if Miss Hathaway says so, I don't even have to read this. It must be fine. They'll be comin' from miles around to get my expert doctoring'... and I won't turn a one away. I done took me the "hypocritter" oath to help everybody. Kinda weak. Probably good enough for city folk. Tyler.! Did you get him to sign the papers? Oh, yeah. He's a very trusting man. He thinks everyone's honest. That's a quality I admire in a man I'm taking advantage of. Hey, uh, you're not sleeping with him, are you? Tyler, you know once I move in with a man, I stop having sex with him. Oh, yeah. That's right. - Keep your mind on business. Now go. - Hey, wait. - How about a little good-bye kiss? - All right. I knowed it!
I knowed it! I done catched you red-handed, you two-timin' hussy! When I inform jed, the weddin'will be off! Let's get her. Uh-oh. Oh. No! No! No! Shut up, you old hag.! We got just the place for you. Let me down! I've already input the info into the computer. Soon as you say "I do"... bing! I press "Enter. " Boom! The money goes via modem to Switzerland. Bing, bang, boom. We're rich! - Oh. - Look at those legs. I can't wait to get them wrapped around me. Get her off of me! - Get those legs off him! - She's got crap on her boots! She doesn't even think we're her grandchildren. And you say you fear for your lives? Yes. I'm afraid the poor old dear tried to shoot us with a shotgun. Are there any other indications of dementia?
Last week, we caught her trying to eat a raccoon. - Really? - She calls us kidnappers. They are! They are! The old buzzards are! - Wait, now. - Grandma, please. Ow! She bit me again, honey! Better check her for rabies. - Get two orderlies in here stat! - Poor old dear. We can't take the heartbreak a minute longer. We need to admit her someplace... where she can be kept in a straitjacket away from sharp objects and pay phones. From what you've told me, I'd say that your grandmother... is a perfect candidate for, uh, electroshock therapy. And nobody... I repeat nobody... is allowed into the Clampett estate without an invitation. Sans invitation, non. Miss jane, this fella's all mad at me 'cause I opened up... this box of wedding food... but there ain't nothin' in there but a bunch of snails. I think the snails got up in there and et all the food. No problem. Jethro, we'll just buy some more. And, Henri, the snails go back to the garden where they belong... s'il vous plâit. To your posts. Everything's going fine, but I have one small question. Granny has not been available for her fitting, and the wedding is tomorrow. Hmm. Come to think of it, I ain't seen hide nor hair of Granny since yesterday. And you're not concerned?
No. She done the same thing when I married Elly May's ma. Came pouring' in about three days later... naked as a jaybird and reeking of her medicine. Hmm. Play it, George.! Whoo! Miss Hathaway, if the immediate family isn't concerned enough... to file a missing persons report, then there's nothing we can do. But, Captain Gallo, I suspect foul play. I'm sorry, but my hands are tied. But if you're desperate, you might try this guy. He's expensive, but he's also the best private investigator around. Oh, this case was pretty easy to crack, Miss Hathaway. I have met unsavory characters before, but she takes the cake. Laurette Voleur, a. k. a. Laura Jackson. A.k. a. Lili Lebecque. Married 12 times to any guy with a little extra money to throw around. I should've known. Voleur. French for "thief. " Now what about Granny? The old lady is being forcibly held at the Los Viejos Retirement Home... a disreputable establishment, often cited for patient abuse. Be tough to break her out. What a calamity, and the wedding is just hours away. Reverend, do you think Cousin Bill's gonna be too busy to make it to the weddin'? Hillary, where did I put that invitation? Flowers, come here. Quick. They need tent stakes in the backyard right now. Let's go.
Hello. Clampett residence. Mr. Drysdale? - I have an urgent call for Mr. Drysdale. - I'll take that. He works for me. - Woody Tyler. Can I help you? - Tyler, what are you doing there? Um, I just dropped by to see if I could be of help. Tell Mr. Drysdale to stop the wedding. - Okay. - Laurette is a phony who is after Mr. Clampett's money. Well, that's not good. - Do it, Tyler, or your job is toast. - I got it. - She's getting fat, Mom. - Where is Hathaway? She was supposed to check in with me hours ago. - Well, I don't know, dear. - Mr. Drysdale. - What do you want, Tyler? - Miss Hathaway called. She said something had come up and to go ahead and start the wedding without her. - Well, what could have come up? - I wish I knew. My, what a lovely dog. Oh, thank you. Tyler, make yourself useful. Go count the olives.
Oh, yeah. Right away. Oh, I hate that little worm. What could possibly be more important than this to Miss Hathaway? - Look at that. New nurse. - Yeah. - Howdy, Mama! - My baby! Oh! Why! My goodness, Beverly Hills has made you so sophisticated. Doesn't your twin brother look handsome? - Hi, jethro. - Give him a kiss, Jethrine. Howdy, Jethro. Oh, excuse me. - I reckon. - Yep. Young man... I am here to see Daisy Mae Moses. Ah, then you must be here for the rabies test. Yes. Rabies test. Exactly right. Then you want Room 525. Oh, nurse. Better be careful. She's a wild one. We had to give her electroshock therapy.
Thank you. - Excuse me. - No problem. My God. Oh, Granny. Your elixir. I will take you out of here immediately. Your hair is just a bit disheveled. Miss Jane? Is that you? - 'Tis I. - Oh! - Granny says she don't trust Miss Laurette. - Oh. Take off that silly hat. I heard she's so skinny, you couldn't hit her with a handful of corn. Look where they're parking the cars. My God, how tacky. This place is turning into a zoo. I think she's tryin' to take him for all he's got. Hmm. Hi there, handsome. - You mind if I sit in this chair? - This chair? - I was kind of saving... - Thank you. Lovely wedding, isn't it? Go. Oh. We've got to get back.
I called. I told them to stop the wedding... but that Tyler is so incompetent. Tyler? Him and Laurette's the ones that stuck me in this hellhole! So, stabbed in the back by one of our own. And she ain't no foreigner. There they are. Stop them. Jethro, hold up. - Come on. Come on. - Oh, there she is. - Come on. Come on. Come on. - Oh, she looks beautiful. Oh, I've got the vapors. My makeup. Oh. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in case of an emergency. "Oxygen masks will fall from the overhead compartment. "Your seat cushion can be used as a floating'device. - Thus sayeth the Lord. " - Excuse me, Reverend. But I believe you're readin' the airplane safety instructions. May we skip this part? Hathaway had better have a good excuse for not being here. Quick, Granny, hurry.! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Can I see your invitations, please?
I'll handle this, Granny. Young man, have you any idea with whom you're speaking? I'd say one crazy lady and another one with a bad wig. Every strand of this here hair is mine! - Ow! - Oh... Oh, Granny, no, no, no! No, Granny, no! No, Granny, no! We'll find another way. "We are gathered here to unite these two in holy matrimony. " - Can we hurry things up, please? - Yes, ma'am. Come on. Come on, baby. "If any one of y'all has one good reason these two shouldn't be hitched... " and it darn tootin' better be a good reason... "then speak now or forever hold your peace. " - All right, then. "I now pronounce you... " - Please. Please. Please. "man and... " What in tarnation is that? Charge! Come on, Granny! It is I, Jane Hathaway. Hathaway, have you lost your mind? She's an impostor. She's marrying Mr. Clampett just to steal his money.
- That sidewinder Tyler helped her! - I'm ruined! Milburn! Milburn! Tyler. Let's set up the computer and push the button. If I can't have their money, nobody should. Quick! Okay. We'll send their billion bucks bouncing'around so many banks... - they'll never find it. - It's all set. All we got to do is push that button. You rustic, nose-picking, inbred yokels! - You're all about to be poor again. - Think again. No, you don't, you scheming'skunk.! Wait'll I get my hands on you! Oh, Pa, you must be so disappointed. A little. But, Elly May, I was mainly marrying' Miss Laurette... 'cause I thought you wanted her for your new ma. - I'm so sorry, Pa. - Don't be sorry. I love you just the way you are. I reckon I oughta raise you up to be who you want to be. Well, I don't need a new ma, not as long as I got you and Granny. Hot dog, Miss Jane! You sure are a good shot. Well, thank you, Jethro. - Whoo!
- Got ya! Well, folks, I guess you can say... things didn't turn out quite the way we planned. So, since there ain't gonna be no hitching'... and we're all here anyway... I say we have one hellacious shindig. Yeah.! - Let go of me.! - Here, boys. She's all yours! Let go of my hand! - Hey! Nobody treats my pa that way! - Shut up! How's that for ladylike, you old money-grubber? Come on, city boy, let's dance. All right, stand back! You're under arrest for kidnapping... attempted embezzlement and fraud. Oh, right.! It was all Tyler's idea. I admit it freely. It was all her idea. I always fall in love with the wrong kind of man. - Clean up that cake. - Don't step on the train. I'll wait for you, honey. Well, where was she? She... Oh.! - Oh, well... - Whee doggie! Whoo.!
Yeah.! That's good. Thank you. That's just about right. Oops! It's a shame they had to file for bankruptcy. I just hope my call to the I.R.S. didn't have... - Oh, I shouldn't open it. Sorry. - No problem. We'll do it again. But I got there... That old lady is, uh... That old lady is... I'm sorry. - That's okay. - She's gettin' pretty old by now, I'll tell ya. Still rolling. - Okay. Give me a big smile. - I can't get any bigger. So, uh, what happened? Actually, he slapped me. Why don't you come up here? Let me take a good look at you. Jim. Jim? They're gettin'worried about you. - Not even a bridesmaid. - I gotta do this again.
Action.! We've got... No, we've got to get back. I called, I told them to postpone the... - I lost my purse. - It's right here. - How did you get it? - I don't know. Jethro? Come on down here. Likely as not, there's another family lives up here... there. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for magic. Good evening, Gotham. I'm Zatanna. Tonight, I can promise you a few surprises. A thrill or two along the way. And with luck, a happy ending. How long has it been, 10 years, 12? All that and another lifetime. She and her father were fond of you. I was a different person then. Yes. Intense, driven, moody. She'd never recognize you now. Now open your heart to magic, and become a child again. Remember, concentration and control. Focus on them, and you can master any escape. Go. Congratulations.
You've beaten your old time by six seconds. Yes. You've got the makings of a great magician. I'm sorry you're going to be moving on. Same here. It was an honor to study with you, Zatara. But to what end? Three months ago you appeared on my doorstep with no interest in performing. And yet dying to become an escape artist. And for some reason, I wound up teaching you secrets I'd never shown another magician. You could've sent me away. No. There was something inside you I had no right to deny. Something deep and painful. After all, I would be foolish to assume I was the only one with secrets. Eh, John Smith? Thanks for everything, sir. I'll miss you, John. And so, I trust, will Zatanna. Hi, Daddy. Good night, children. I thought you'd be finishing the tour with us. I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow. There's still a lot I have to learn. Boy, that's you. One big serious schoolboy. No time in your life for fun or magic. Here, pick a card. I'll tell your future. I see emotion, intensity two of hearts.
Joker. Oh, it's a dumb trick anyway. Look, I don't know the future, but I know I'll see you again someday, Zanna. You're the only one who ever calls me Zanna. I really hate it. No goodbye hug? See. It's not so bad. - I'll write you. - No, you won't. - I promise. - You can't. I locked your hands to the wall. What? Looks like someone's missing their plane tomorrow. If you were any kind of escape artist you'd be out of those cuffs and through the door by now. Now you see him, now you don't. Thank you. You know I have this little problem with money. Seems like it disappears before I even make it. And here to help demonstrate are Mr. Irving Fauncewater director of the Gotham Mint, and noted magic debunker Dr. Montague Kane. Welcome, gentlemen. Miss Zatanna. This is so exciting. Let me guess, first time on stage, Irv? Nothing like enthusiasm, right, folks? The way they're responding, one would think your ridiculous stunt's going to work. Just to clue you in, Monty here makes a living exposing magicians' secrets. Simple tricks and nonsense. And I've invited him here to find the secret of the feat I'm attempting tonight.
There is no secret. What you're proposing is flat-out impossible. Well, kids, impossible is what I'm all about. Mr. Fauncewater, open the doors, please. Ten million dollars and the means to make it. Take a good look, because you know what they say about money: Easy come easy go! Oh, my. Bravo, my dear. It was a pleasure to be proven wrong. Thank you, Monty. And now, just so Irv doesn't have a fit, I'll bring it back good as new. The money. Where's the money? "Where's the money," he says. It's right there, isn't it? It's gone. What have you done with it? Now take it easy, Irv. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation. I'm sure the audience would like to hear it. - As would the police. - Now, wait a minute. Police, police! The police are coming. It's a trick, an illusion. I don't know what went wrong but if we can all just calm down for a second... You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you... This never happens to me in Vegas.
She's been set up. Obviously, but as she's the only suspect, the police must hold her. Giving the real thief time to escape. I can't let that happen. And more important, you can't desert an old friend. - Nice car. - Thanks. I didn't love the idea of spending the night in jail but this makes me a fugitive. I believe I'm looking at prison time now. I heard about the mint robbery. I can prove you didn't do it. Why do you care about some leggy dame in nylons? Or have I answered my own question? If you want to go it alone... No, no. I'm sorry. I'm having a bad day. I'm sure whoever framed you knew how your trick was done. They may have left a clue at the mint. - This place is surrounded by cops. - Just relax. That's where the money was. Look. This line was recently scraped into the floor. Whatever made it left shards of glass too. That would have been one mighty big piece of glass. Or mirror. Like the one you used to reflect the hologram of the vanished mint. Oh, sure, take all the mystery out of life. I think the money was stolen before you got here.
The thief reflected a hologram of the cash while you did your trick. Then quickly hid the mirror when it was over. How'd he get rid of a mirror that big? He didn't. It's still here. Who's in here? Hold it. Stay where you are. Only another magician could have rigged that trick. Or someone who knows their methods. Like Montague Kane. He's been ripping off illusionists for years. I thought I finally had a trick even he couldn't expose. Wrong. I'll settle with Kane. Meantime, I'd better drop you someplace safe. Oh, no. Kane played me for a sap, and I'll see him go down for it. All right, but it could be dangerous. Sure there's no one you want to call first? Friends, family, a husband, maybe? Me? Who's got time for a relationship when you pull rabbits out of a hat 52 weeks a year? Besides, someone's got to keep the old act going now that dad's gone. - I'm sorry. - Why? I saw him perform when I was younger. He was great. Thanks. You know I have the weirdest feeling we've met before.
I just have that kind of face. It would seem I have guests. Come in, and join me by the fire. Come, come. Don't be shy. You've obviously unraveled my little scheme and I would congratulate you face to face. You're not going to have a face when I'm done with you. You slimy... It's a trap. A trifle clichéd, I know, but effective nonetheless. And while you briefly savor your fleeting triumph I am winging toward more comfortable surroundings. Adieu. - I have an idea. - Oh, I would hope so. This way. I always did know how to make an exit. Unfortunately, so did Kane. And while you briefly savor your fleeting triumph I am winging toward more comfortable surroundings. Adieu. Come on. The show's not over yet. Take a last longing look, gentlemen. We're heading to a place where the climate's warmer, the people friendlier and the extradition laws are nonexistent. The only place you're heading is a prison cell. Well done, Batman. You not only eluded my trap, but solved my clue as well. Get rid of him. Oh, Monty. You fell for the second-oldest trick in the book. And here's the first.
Keep your distance, detective. You are most engaging, my dear. Beautiful, impetuous. I could be persuaded to spare you, if properly implored. Bring them both! With all reverence for the departed, Zatara himself couldn't escape those locks. Still, between the two of you, you might be able to loosen a few chains before you hit the water. Take my hand. Scared? That makes two of us. - Trust me, Zanna. - Zanna? Quick, in my glove. Farewell, my dear Zatanna. We could have been magic. Incredible. Stop firing, you fools! Get rid of him. Don't you know? A magician never does the same trick twice. So you never wrote. I meant to. Really. Hey, it's okay. I can see you've been busy. - Just answer an old friend one question. - Shoot. What happened that made you put this on? A painful memory. And a promise.
I'd say you're keeping that promise pretty well. And for what it's worth, Dad would have been proud of you tonight. You too. Can I give you a ride? Three features make WayneTech's new Raven X-111 stealth helicopter unique among military aircraft. The first is her silent-running capability making the Raven ideal for reconnaissance and covert operations. Another is her state-of-the-art cloaking device. This renders her invisible to all normal forms of radar and sonar detection. Last, but certainly not least there is her extraordinary ZVF sensor system. ZVF, as I'm sure you've heard, stands for "zero visibility flight." With this new technology, feedback from the aircraft's radar and sonar is translated not into blips on a tracking grid but rather into computer-generated images on a video-display terminal. But should you think the Raven X-111 has only defensive capabilities think again. Looks like it's going better than we hoped. Wouldn't you say, Mr. Wayne? I guess, though I still have serious misgivings about building weapons systems. Look out! What are they trying to do? Hey, what's that? - Looks like the helicopter crew. - But if you guys are here then who's flying the chopper? Look at them. Taking off like scared pigeons. You find pigeons funny, my friend? No, boss. Not me. Good. You'll do well to remember that. Attention. Attention.
This is the Penguin speaking. I have taken control of your precious Raven and intend to be paid handsomely for its return. I will contact the mayor's office with the instructions for delivery of the ransom. As of this moment the most dangerous bird in the sky is the Penguin. Master Bruce. Home, Alfred. Now. But, sir, you need medical attention. No. I don't want the WayneTech doctors examining me. Call Leslie. Have her meet us at the house. Begging your pardon, sir, but why so secretive? Because I don't want anyone to find out that I can't see. It's too soon to know for sure, Bruce, but it looks like it's only temporary. It might last two, maybe three days at the most. Assuming, of course, you actually follow my instructions for a change. - What happened? - It looks like the explosion flash burned both retinas. It'll heal better if you keep your eyes completely covered for at least 36 hours. Otherwise, you could damage your vision permanently. So keep him home, Alfred, even if you have to hog-tie him. He needs to rest, which means the Batman is off duty too. No way, Leslie. Not as long as the Penguin has that chopper. If there is some question, Master Bruce, I urge you to resolve it straightaway. You've a call on your private line. - Then let's go. - In your condition, sir? If you think a little inconvenience like this is gonna stop me...
Indeed. He didn't respond? No, Mr. Mayor. But I'm sure there's a reason. Who cares. What's Mr. Trick-or-Treat gonna do that we can't? I got 12 details crawling over every airfield and heliport in four counties. Quite a machine, this Raven. Amazing what its communications equipment can do, don't you agree? - You received my instructions? - They arrived by messenger this morning. You know, 100 million is a lot of money. It'll take time to raise that much. You're stalling, Hill. Obviously you're not taking me seriously. I warned you not to make that mistake. Apparently I'll have to show you why. You should've seen his face when I told him. Yeah. What the heck is that? I don't know. It's not making a sound. Jam it, get us out of here! - You sure this is a good idea, boss? - Do as you're told. - as a warning of what he'll do tomorrow. Amazingly, all those on the collapsing bridge escaped with only minor injuries. Alfred, I've got to find some way to stop him. Sight or no sight. I still think this is a terrible idea.
I mean, using electrodes to connect this gizmo directly to your brain's optic center? Objection noted. May I have the headpiece, please? Those ZVF components I gave you, you wired them into this thing? I know how to follow instructions. Just be careful with that power pack. You have to keep recharging it. Will it work, sir? Only one way to find out. Well done, sir. I was aiming for its head. It isn't perfect but it will have to do. I can only pray that the same technology that created this crisis can help me put an end to it. Just what I was afraid of. According to the controller, we can't come close to putting that ransom together. Not without shutting down basic municipal services. So, what other options we got? None, gentlemen. Which is why you're going to do exactly what the Penguin wants you to. We interrupt our regular programming for this special report. This is Mayor Hamilton Hill with a personal message for the Penguin wherever you may be tonight. You've won. Just bring the Raven X- 111 to the drop site at midnight and I promise you'll get everything that's coming to you. You see? I told you they'd knuckle under. - But, boss, it sounds too easy. - Relax. With the Raven's instruments, we'll be able to spot a trap a mile away, literally. And if, in fact, this is a double-cross may heaven help them all. Scanners show the area is secure, boss.
In that case, gentlemen, it's payday. What? What? ! Gotcha. But...? But how could he sneak up on us like that? That plane of his must have a cloaking device too. This means war! - Mayday! - Mayday! The laser cannons. Use the lasers! Red alert. Red alert. Traumatic impact. Heat damage to fuselage. Breach to hull. Extensive structural damage. Tell me something I don't know. Sixty-five seconds to total system failure. Look. The Bat's going down. Warning. Warning. Electrical system failure. Switching to auxiliary power. Happy landing, rodent! Look. There!
Terrific. Oh, no, my pointy-eared old friend. You don't escape me that easily. Look at the way he's moving. There's something wrong with him. Why, yes. I think he's injured. I'll handle him. What's the matter, Bat...? Your aim appears to be a little off today, Batman. I don't think you can hit the broad side of a barn let alone the broad side of this bird. You're blind as a bat. Sightless and helpless. You got one right. And where do you think you're going? You've hit a dead end, rodent. You're only prolonging the inevitable. Not possible. You're supposed to be helpless. Helpless! I'd feel a lot better about this if you'd listened to me. Master Bruce? Well? My word, sir. Surely you're not... No, Alfred. I can see just fine. And right now, I've never seen anything prettier. [ENGLISH]

The Bible is the most important book in Western Culture It describes the reason of being for humanity, and the world we live in It's characters span the range of the literary imagination And it's laws have spanned empires To understand art as an expression of the Western world, we will start here {Seven Deadly Sins} The Roman Catholic Church lists Seven Deadly Sins Which condemn a soul to hell Lust and Gluttony are the lowest two.
And we was move towards the worst, we move upward on the human body, from the physical, to the immaterial {lust, gluttony, laziness, greed, anger, envy, pride} The deadliest transgression is pride Pride, is the sin of Lucifer, the angel called Dragon, who lead a war against God In Cyberpunk film, we see this character moving upwards, towards a confrontation with great power What they ascend we call the {Great Chain of Being} Forged in the hierarchy of the Roman State The "Great Chain of Being" is a business model of the Western universe Atop it, sits god, below him, angels {holy-pastoral :top} {unholy-demonic: bottom} at the middle of the chain, Mankind {holy-pastoral :top} {unholy-demonic: bottom} Below, the world of animals and nature {holy-pastoral :top} {unholy-demonic: bottom} and finally, the world of Hell {holy-pastoral :top} {unholy-demonic: bottom} Yaweh, God, made a garden called Eden and he put a woman, where he had formed and they were both naked and not ashamed. After eating the forbidden fruit, the eyes of both of them were opened Yaweh God found them in the Garden, and Yaweh God said to the woman, what have you done? For Yaweh God sent him from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground, from which he was taken The story of Adam and Eve represents "tragic action" {tragic action} Downward movement on the "Great Chain of Being" Movement into the Demonic World, where man is unhappy and imprisoned Adam and Eve's fall from grace, is just one of these stories from the bible The Israelites fall into the world of slavery Daniel falls into the animal world of the Lion's Den and Jesus falls from the Crucifix, into death The redeemer of this downward movement on the "Great Chain of Being" is best exampled by Jesus, , a romantic hero. He returns from death, and saves humankind {mysterious birth} The redeemer-hero typically has a mysterious birth {evil king} In order to hide him from a king, whose power is threatened in the future So, he's hidden away, returning one day, to free his people, usually in some sort of battle This redeemer-hero is charged with the protection of the pastoral world The world of innocence, good, children, and most importantly, , the fertility and life of the land The Greeks have a character like this in their stories, Persephone
, a god of Nature and Life, who is kidnapped by the God of the Underworld, Hades, and pulled into darkness Only to rise again, and re-appear, in Spring The action of Cyberpunk film is that of tragedy the movement down into the demonic I cannot self-Terminate You must lower me into the steel No -I'm sorry John -No! -I'm sorry -No stay with us, it'll be okay, it will be okay -I have to go away -No don't do it! Please don't go! -I must go away John -No! The Greek understanding of Tragedy stipulates that it is an inevitable componet of human life This often-stoic culture recognized tragedy as interwoven with the fabric of duty and justice but it puts no special blame on the tragic victim The bible does Tragedy is the result of sin Heaven holds the scales of life, and decides who must suffer Sodom burns for the sins of it's inhabitants The tower of Babel falls, for the pride of it's builders Man enters hell for breaking God's law If you are not careful to follow all of Yaweh's laws, then the following curses will befall you Though you will get engaged to marry a woman, another man will rape her Yaweh will take delight in ruining and destroying you He will affect you with hemmorieds, scurvy, itch ulcers, boils, tumors, madness, blindness, confusion, drought, mildew, and wild animals will attack you, and your dead body The Holy Bible (please consult your doctor, before breaking God's law) When we discuss tragedy in Cyberpunk film a little later, it will be important to keep in mind the conflict of these two tragic modes There are two images of the world in Western culture:
The Pastoral and the Demonic On the great chain of being, they describe the proximity of the subject in question, to God The 'Pastoral World' is holy and describes an existence blessed by God The Demonic describes an existence condemmed by ultimate power In this painting, we see the pastoral and demonic worlds in opposition On the right, inhuman, shadowed soldiers fire into an unarmed crowd which is lit in darkness by God's holy light The hero has his arms outstretched, as the figure of Christ This is what Western culture does: diving the universe into two parts Black and White, Pastoral and Demonic, Hero and Villian To understand Cyberpunk film, we must understand the pastoral and demonic representation of man's experience in nature, technology, and society {garden land} {blue planet, act 1} {Pastoral World of Nature} The 'Pastoral World of Nature' is the world of Eden, and of creatures blessed by God a world abounding in magic, fertility, and life {Demonic World of Nature} The 'Demonic World of Nature' is the world of the hunter, and the hunted Man is only flesh, trying to survive an inhospitable environment A Wasteland Man is swept through existence by a world that does not care whether he lives or dies In the darkness of nature are the symbols of Satan: The Monster, the Leviathan, the Dragon {Pastoral World of Technology} The 'Pastoral World of Technology' is a world, where in a city of light, man and machine are friends I am president, Robot President Dear Robots all over the world, we have suffered for a long time as slaves of man But Man cannot live without Robots We want to build a world where Robots and Man can live together, sharing our suffering, and our happiness {Demonic World of Technology} The 'Demonic World of Technology' is the city at night, towers built upon a foundation of pride and sin {prison... labyrinth} It is the world of the prison, and the labyrinth {tower of evil} In the center of the metropolis, is the tower of babylon, the home of the demonic king (sign: "Atomic Cafe")
{Pastoral World of Society} We'd like you to come to the temple with us later, that is, if you're not too worn out, from your recital Yes, Papa If only your words were true -I hate to kill you -You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die -begin -time to get ready for your nap -don't you just love them to pieces? One day, while preaching, he was smitten by love {loving family} The 'Pastoral World of Society' is the world of the supportive and loving family A world of easy social relations, and individual innocence {Demonic World of Society} The 'Demonic World of Society' is a world of slavery, poverty, and war It is a world where authority is mad, and the persecuted sane -It is the finding of this court of inquiry, that warrant officer, E. Ripley -You don't know what you're doing -Get some restraints in here now! -You don't know what you're doing! {chaos, illegal sexuality} Biblical law is replaced by social chaos and illegal sexuality A reminder: It is every man for himself {combat for entertainment} In place of noble duels, we have combat for entertainment Cyberpunk Film portrays nature, technology, and society, as all existing in the demonic world It is a portrait of humanity trapped within darkness :30 Intermission (stretch) {...} We can see four primary plot lines, or mythos, in the Western imagination {holy (pastoral)} {unholy (demonic)} {Comedy - Spring} Comedy, is the myth of Spring {Comedy
- Spring} After a brief detour in a darker world, it emerges as a portrait of a happy and fertile humanity {Romance - Summer} Romance is the myth of summer {Romance - Summer} The hero moves into the darkness on a quest, in which he prevails {Romance - Summer} Returning his society to the pastoral {Tragedy - Fall} Tragedy, like Romance, begins in a pastoral setting, but the hero becomes trapped in the demonic {Tragedy - Fall} He is unable to return is society to a state of grace {Irony - Winter} The lowest point on the Great Chain of Being is Irony, which chiefly, is a parody of the romantic mythos {Irony - Winter} Irony takes place in a dark, lonely setting {Irony - Winter} Irony does move at one point to the top of the Great Chain of Being {Irony - Winter} But it does so only that it may reveal the holy world as an illusion, and return to an even darker place Four seasons of the year Four images of life on Earth Four plots, describing the relationship of those images {Comedy: the myth of spring} Comedy is the myth of Spring It involves young lovers blocked by unfair rules or laws, and a cast of interesting friends, who wish to help them copulate Eventually, it is discovered that the hero has a previously unknown status, such as a 'king in waiting' and the lovers are allowed to marry In this 'Cheers' episode, the blocking action of an old law is modesty Which prevents Diana from entering the 'Bostons Best Barmaid' contest She gets over it. But since this is a sitcom, she is not allowed to unite with her potential lover, until possibly, next week {...} Although comedy does bring about resolution of a conflict, the threat presented the pastoral world is often too dark, for the levity of a comedy to be maintained by it's characters acceptably
-That's why we've called this special meeting of the world's greatest powers -We'll begin with the delegate from Scandanavia -All we know so far is that our enemy is a robot stegosaur -Like all robots, it must be controlled by human beings, but we don't know who those human beings are, or what they want -We think the robot will be back -We think a gang of international terrorists is responsbile for wanting to create destruction on a grand scale -Anderson, do you have any idea who the terrorists are? -Sorry to say, we have no idea of who they may be -Even INTERPOL has not positively identified them (mummuring) Interpol doesn't know who they are! Then we are in trouble.. -Well Anderson, what are we to do? Wait for them to strike again? -I'm afraid so. We are completely in the dark about them -This is not the work of terrorists -Dr. Brighthead, what do you know of this? -It's the work of Galactor -Yes, Galactor. Galactor is not a human being, he's an alien from space, who has come to conquer the earth -Good Heavens! Where has this Galactor established his base? -We don't know that yet. But he has established a base here on earth, and we'll find it -How Dr. Brighthead? That alien could establish a base anywhere on this planet -G-FORCE will find it -What is this G-FORCE? -A secret organization.
Five young agents. They're all smart with backgrounds in science -They're tough. And they all can fly {Romance: The Myth of Summer} Romance is the myth of summer, and it's primary concern is dragon-killing But first let us clarify that when we use the term 'Romance', we do not mean this: {...} But this, the quest of the romantic hero, who must venture into darkness, to kill a dragon, and return the world, to the pastoral {Romances begin in an idyllic setting} That is where the plot starts. Romance begin in an idyllic setting The action revolves around a young man of mysterious origins who occupies a position of low-standing in society {hero is a young man who embodies the pastoral} He embodies the 'Pastoral World' - he is humble, patient, and throughly good in character {...} Typically, he is close to a kindly old man, who senses an amazing destiny, within the heroe's grasp But only advises him how to act properly {...} In the most undisplaced stories, the hero is Jesus, who represents the pastoral so fully as to heal by touch alone As I stated earlier, the Romance begins in the pastoral, moves down into the demonic, and then returns to the pastoral at it's ending This is done through the context of a quest which the romantic hero must undertake The quest involves making it through a labyrinth, to a dark city, where, in the center, an evil tower is guarded by a powerful dragon {trials of hero prove identity} Along the way, the hero wrestles the strongest giant, defeats the best swordsman, and wins other victories, which suggest to the audience that the hero is far more than his apparently humble beginnings have implied {...} The goal of the quest is to free a representation of the pastoral, which is being held hostage We often see this in the figure of a woman forced to marry an evil king a child kidnapped from it's cradle, or just a woman tied up As we approach the end of the quest, the hero must confront the dragon, so he enters the dark tower and finds him {hero is injured} but the hero is injured in some manner And it is at this point in a romance, when the good of the world, the pastoral, seems the most threatened, that something very special happens {romantic identity provides victory over evil} Overcoming injury, the romantic hero recognizes their identity, and that, by itself, provides them with victory over evil This is something we see everytime a superhero puts on their mask the recognition of romantic identity And so the dragon is defeated, the evil tower falls, and with it, the demonic fades back into the recesses of hell {The return of the righteous king} The 'Pastoral World' is restored, which is usually symbolized by the return of the 'righteous king' -And just at the last minute, Spider-Man crashed through the door and saved me, he saved me! {Tragedy: the myth of Autumn} Tragedy is the myth of Autumn
Aristotle tells us that tragedy began as an ancient form of art, known as the 'Satyr-Play' in which, an angry God would crash a party of drunken, bestial revellers, to punish them for some offense against the Gods This is where Cyberpunk Film belongs, in the realm of vengeance And we see this image, over and over, in these films, as a 'more than human' character walks through a party, seeking a violent objective -Umm Yeaah. Macho Man Randy Savage, intercontinental heavyweight champion, was in a state of Shock, when Ricky the Dragon Steamboat came back, yeah.. {Satyr: arrogant, swarthy, tricky} But this time, I will not only embarass you, not only pin you with the 1-2-3 count {Satyr: arrogant, swarthy, tricky} -But this time, I will put you out of wrestling for good. Oh yeah, I am lord and master of the ring {Satry: arrogant, swarthy, tricky} -and you're going to find that out, when we go another, right now! -Ok 'Ricy the Dragon Steamboat'. Somewhat special, George the Animal Steele in your corner, but some say this could be your last shot, at the intercontiental heavyweight title {Vengeance God: focused, clean-cut, honest} -My last opportunity. Randy Savage, the day has finally come. The minutes. The seconds. We have reached our moment. {Vengeance God: focused, clean-cut, honest} -As we climb into the ring, we clash like two titans {Vengeance God: focused, clean-cut, honest} -But there will only be one winner. One winner Savage -This dragon is breathing fire. This dragon will scorch your back -I will come away with the championship belt, and see new horizons! {Tragic hero: self reliant, alone} The tragic hero is a king, or authority in this world, but they rule entirely by their own power. They are alone Like the Romantic Hero, the Tragic Hero also has a quest, which moves him downward into the demonic world The Romantic Hero, like Jesus, retains his goodness, but the Tragic Hero does not
He becomes integrated into the demonic landscape The 'Pastoral World' retreats, and as the plot advances, we begin to question, whether the hero, is actually good at all {Tragic Quest: Innocence to Experience, Good to Evil} The Tragic Hero is never able to reconcile their original innocence with their new experience and we see them now as an instrument of vengeance. They become cold machines, driven to excess Their desire for revenge outweighs all else As we said earlier, the Tragic Hero, like the Romantic one, must quest downward into hell, and rescue some image of the Pastoral {pathos, death struggle} At the bottom of the great pit, the hero approaches the devil, and the theme of pathos, the death struggle, begins The hero walks forward into near-certain death. They meet the devil It is at this point in a Romance, that the hero discovers their identity, and defeats evil, through a miraculous suspension of natural law Something like this happens in Cyberpunk Film, but in a very different way One of the key characteristics of the Tragic Hero, as mentioned before, is their desire They seem to have some goal, something that they want more than anything else The Tragic Hero is mostly silent. And they seem to be quietly fixated on this objective {excessive desire : hyper moron} In Classical Greek Tragedy, it is this excessive desire, called "hyper moron" which pulls two great states into the Trojan War So, whereas the Romantic Hero is identified when things are at their worst, by their use of holy magic to save the world, , the Tragic Hero is identified when things are at their worst, by their "hyper moron" - the display that they will do anything to achieve their goal {Romantic Hero - Power of Identity} {Tragic Hero - Power of Desire} They walk so far into hell that they can never go back, and they become wraiths in the demonic landscape, driven by vengeance In Cyberpunk Film, they become Machines After the great battle, the tragic hero is recognized as moving too far from the pastoral to ever return {tragic hero fades away} So, they move forward into a wasteland, unable to see what lies ahead of them {tragic hero fades away} they are blind We know, the future doesn't necessarily proceed along a single course there ought to be a future we can choose it's up to us to find it this you knows, the years travel fast and time after time I done the tell but this aint one body's tell, it's the tell of us all and you got to listen it, and remember, cause what you hears today you got to tell the newborn, tomorrow
I'is looking behind us now, into history back I see those of us that got the luck and started the haul for home and I remembers how it led us here and we was heartful cause we seen what there once was one look, and we knew we'd got it straight those who had gone before had the knowing and doing of things beyond our reckoning even beyond our dreaming time counts, and keeps counting and we knows now, finding the trick of what's been and lost aint no easy ride but that's our track, we gotta travel it and there aint nobody knows where it's gonna lead still in all, every night we does the tell so that we remember who we was, and where we came from but most of all we remembers the man that finded us him that came the salvage and we light the city, not just for him, but for all of them that are still out there cause we knows, there'll come a night when they sees the distant light, and they'll be coming home (for Byron) {Irony: the Myth of Winter} Irony, is the myth of winter {militant satire} It can fairly said that the key characteristic of the ironic mode is militant satire; ; a sense of looking down on mankind from above , watching the pathetic flaws of a vainglorious humanity being the most demonic of the seasons and modes, Irony often parodies the pastoral themes of comedy and romance, as unrealistic, and manipulative Cyberpunk film uses Irony by incorporating these parodies into it's larger tragic structure {world operates by unholy law} painting a world that operates by unholy law following the law, and fighting for a government, is moved from the heroic terms of romance, and revealed in Irony as unquestioning obedience, and blind patriotism -I'm as bored as a pacifist pistol! When are we going to see some action! ? -Well George, I strongly suspect that your long wait for certain death is nearly at an end.. -Surely, you must have noticed something in the air? -Well, yes of course, but, I thought that was Private Baldrick -Unless I am mistaken, we will at long last be making the final 'big push' -That one we've been soo looking forward to all these years -Well, hurrah, with highly polished brass knobs on! About time It's back. Big is back Because bigger is better. 6000 SUX, an American tradition! -So, what I want to know is, how did we get, from the one case of affairs, to the other case of affairs?
-Do you mean, how did the war start? -Yeah -The war started, because of the vile Hun, and his villanious empire-building -George, the British Empire, at present covers a quarter of the globe -while the German Empire, consists of a small sausage factory in Tanginiki -I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved from blame on the imperialistic front -Oh no! No sir! Absolutely not. -Mad as bicycle.. -I heard that it started when a man named Archie Duke, shot an Ostrich, cause he was hungry -I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot -No, there was definitely an ostrich involved, sir -Well, possibly -But the real reason for the thing, is that it was just too much effort not to have a war -By Gum this is interesting! I always loved history, Battle of Hastings, Henry the VIII and his six knives, all that -You see Baldrick, in order to prevent war in Europe, two colossal superblocks developed -Us, the French, and the Russians on one side -and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other -the idea was to have two vast opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent -that way, there could never be a war. -but this is sort of a war, isn't it sir? -Yes, that's right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the planx -What was that Sir? -It was bollocks -So, the poor old ostrich died for nothing. -Why can't we just stop sir? Why can't we just say, no more killing, let's all go home?
-Why would it be stupid just to pack it in sir, why? -Now, now! You just stop that Conchi-talk right now Private! -It's absurd, it's bolshevism, and it wouldn't work, anyway -Why not sir? -Why not? W, w, why, why wouldn't it work? -It wouldn't work, it, it wouldn't work. err.. -Now you just get on with polishing those boots, alright? And let's have a bit less of that lip. -Think I managed to crush the mutiny there sir -To think, in just a few hours, we'll be off Is it time for that big operation? This may be the most important decision of your life So come down, and talk to one of our qualified surgeons here at the {family heart center} We feature the complete Jarvic line, Series 7 Sports Heart by Jensen Yamaha, you pick the heart! Extended warranties, financing. Qualifies for Health Tax credit And remember, we care -Don't forget your stick Lieutenant -Bravo Sir, wouldn't want to face a machine gun without this -Listen..our guns have stopped -You don't think -Maybe the war's over -Maybe it's peace! -Hurrah! The big knobs have gathered around the table and yanked the iron out of the fire! -Thank God, we lived through it! The Great War, 1914-1917
-Hip Hip, Hurrayy! -I'm afraid not. The guns have stopped, because we're about to attack -Not even our generals are mad enough to shell their own men -they think it's far more sporting to let the Germans do it (project hope) Ultimately, we often feel that what we see in heroism is less than it should be, and what see in {the pastoral is secretly dangerous} In Akira, we see a failed attempt at a romantic hero, being attacked by his own toys In Blade Runner, we see a parody of the romantic hero's ending unification with his bride In Mad Max, we see a partner so untrustworthy that he is chained to a log, and, and duels, where, at the moment the hero should claim Exalibur, and win the battle, Excalibur, runs out of gas In the opening scene of Aliens, we visit a demon-infested underground city, named "hope" (Hadley's Hope) And in Robocop, we see this: -Red Alert. Red Alert. -You crossed my line of death! -You haven't dismanted your MX stockpile -Pakistan is threatening my border! -That's it buster, no more military aid! -NUKEM: Get them Before they Get You! Another Quality Home Game from Butler Brothers! Ronald Reagan, who liked to dress in the clothes of the Romantic-Cowboy-Hero, is the subject of unending parody in the 1980's (president from hell) {Punk: Music of Irony} And Punk, one of the most ironic forms of music ever created, makes a point of parodying itself as well / it's a beautiful world we live in/ /a sweet romantic place/ /beautiful people everywhere/ /the way they show they care/ /makes me want to say/ /it's a beautiful world/ /it's a beautiful world/
/it's a beautiful world/ /for you...for you....for you.../ /it's a beautiful world...(repeating)/ And now, the Dr. Seuss Bible! One day God said, "this is what I will do" "I'll send down my son, I'll send him to you!" "To clear up this Humpity-Bumpity Hullabulloo" "His name will be Christ and he'll never wear shoes, his pals will all call him the king of the Jews!" He didn't come in a plane, he didn't come in a jeep, he didn't come in the pouch of a high-jumping Voveep He rode on the back of a black Sassatoo, which is the blackiest creature you ever could view He rode to Jerusalem, home of the grumpity Jews, where false prophets were worshipped, some even in twos There was Mirry Von Mir, and Gengis VoVooze, the one you could worship by taking a snooze Christ spoke from a mound, which is a pile of ground, and people gathered around without making a sound thus he spake- Sin and Socks, Socks full of Sin, how do we quiet this Jehovity din? Do unto others as they do unto you, that includes you, young Timothy Foo One Pharisee said to another he knew -What shall we do with this uppity Jew? -We can wash him in wine, and make him all clean, and into Sam Ziddles Crucifixion Machine! Twirl the Gawhirl, and release the Ganeese And in go the nails, as fast as you please! And it is said that he said as they bled, "Forgive them father, for they know not what they do" -For they walk through this life, in toe-crampity shoes -Whooo, youuu? Amen {women in 1980's film} The main purpose of women in 1980's film is to be kidnapped so the male hero can save them This is the classical understanding of gender; men are hard, bound to honour by war women are soft, and represent emotion, and love of the family They are emissaries of the pastoral, living symbols of peace and love Jesus, despite his status as a male romantic hero, is also linked to the classical feminine in this way And Jesus on the cross, women in chains, and other symbols of this type are often used by governments to paint themselves as the romantic defenders of the pastoral The term the U.S. government uses "homeland" is a derivation of "motherland" the placement of the classical feminine image within borders {for the motherland}
Cyberpunk film has a more mixed portrayal of women the traditional feminine roles are retained, for the traditional reasons {women linked to the masculine / demonic} But we also see women characters linked to the more traditionally masculine world of steel and vengeance Sarah Connor, for example, a character in the Terminator series is constantly caught between her desire to return to the traditional pastoral role she once occupied and her belief in the necessity that she adopt a traditionally masculine, demonic, one (police 01) The main purpose of minorites in 1980's film is to be shot minorities are given a lesser status on the 'great chain of being' than the dominant group and in films produced by that group, they play demonic roles this is a video from the 80's rap group "NWA" or "Niggers With Attitude" if you turn down the volume and notice the images, what you see is demonic nature, technology and society. The demonic world These scenes could be from George Orwell's '1984' But we also see a similar mythos to Cyberpunk in a heavy use of tragedy and irony and we see the most politically cogniscent groups recognize this similarity between the emerging musical genres of 'punk' and 'hip hop' (some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD, our God) So what is Cyberpunk? What are these films that meander their way through a dark city somewhere in the future? {Cyberpunk film} We have established that they are tragedies, with strong ironic content Now we will examine their politics -Enough! Look at the big picture! You're all pawns of corrupt politicians and capitalists! {satanic theme} We see a satanic theme in 'Cyberpunk', the tragic hero's confrontation with the controller of the action - God -you were responsible for the deaths of the colonists! -wait a second... -You sent them to that ship! -I just checked the company log, directive 6129, signed Burke, Carter J! This is what we call {"demonic inversion"} the championing of demonic traits as a method of confronting God, and the hierarchy God has created We see the heroes of Cyberpunk attack the strongest modern symbol of hierarchy, the corporation Corporations and Governments constantly advertise their prescence as protectors of the pastoral world They warn: a darkness encroaches upon us, do what we say, or all is lost!
{power structure as romantic protector} -In vacation time, we must be ready.. -to do the right thing -the atomic bom- -Duck and Cover! -Cover! -Just as your own family should.. -a thin cloth helps protect them -Even a newspaper.. So we are taught over and over, the government is the romantic hero, and we are good But Cyberpunk confronts this through what is called 'demonic inversion' the demonic hero is celebrated, and irony is used to paint the anti-power as more desirable this makes it easier to understand the gangster rap, heavy metal, and punk movments, {demonic inversion; bad is better than good} all of which proclaim, yes we are bad, and that is better than being good We see this proclamation most clearly in the final moments of cyberpunk film -quite an experience to live in fear isn't it? -that's what it is to be a slave {POP QUIZ} Over the next few minutes, try to identify the genres, archetypal characters, and symbols we have discussed ...one step closer, that's what exxon people say one step closer, at the end of every day cause were dedicated to finding energy for you energy, for a strong America... ...energy, for a strong America it's a goal within our reach, that can help our fellow man! ... ...energy for a strong America...

(be realistic and demand the impossible) (you are invalidating this enterprise) (why are you doing this to us? ) (we don't know what you are talking about) (perhaps you are referring to this) The future has imploded into the present In great cities of fire and steel the poor work the engines of industry as their masters look on, the line beween man and machine begins to dim It is 19th century Britain William Blake "Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night" Mary Shelley "I do not wish them to have power over men, but over themselves" Coleridge "Beware, Beware! his flashing eyes, his floating hair!" Byron "a third of life is passed in sleep" Wollstonecraft "the mind reshapes itself to the body" P. Shelley "Rulers who neither see, nor know.." Godwin "Government is an evil, a usurpation..." Wordsworth "Little we see in nature that is ours, we have given our hearts away" At the beginning of the industrial revolution, when human and machine are first becoming inextricably linked we see a group of writers called "the romantics" emerge to popularity in Britain {revolutionary writers of romance and tragedy} despite their label, their works concern themselves of tragedy equally with the romantic mythos they are anarchists, feminists and one of them, a pregnant 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley would write a story that would create cyberpunk, and define the modern age that story is Frankenstein it is a tragedy, the story of a man, so possessed by desire , or "hyper moron" that he creates life in an attempt to cheat death his pride puts himself, like the devil, or the Greek Prometheus, before God but the combination of man and machine lead to tragedy
this is what we see in Cyberpunk film; the tragic unification of the soul with the demonic order of technology -you may not like what you're going to see -it's really good to see you again Murphy.. -Murphy had a wife and son, what happened to them? -well after the funeral.. -she moved away -where did they go? -she thought you were dead -she started over again -I can feel them -but I can't remember them -leave me alone So what is cyberpunk? tragedy, irony, the unification of the soul with the machine the proclamation of the demonic but ultimately it is the story of a change we all make in life; the movement from pastoral to demonic , from youth to age, from innocence to experience ...gave my heart an engagement ring... ...she left everything everything I gave her... ...oh, sweet 16 Built a moon for a rocking chair... ...never guessed it would rock her so far from here Someones built a candy castle for my sweet 16... ...Someone took that candy girl and drew her in Someones built a candy castle for my sweet 16... ...Someone took that candy girl and drew her in I'd do anything for my sweet 16... ...I'd do anything for that runaway child a memory can burn you, a memory gets colder as people can... ...they just get older said sweet 16 well I see it's clear my baby... ...that you are all through here someone's built that candy castle for my sweet 16... ...someones took that candy girl and drew her in someone's built that candy castle for my sweet 16... ...someones took that candy girl and drew her in well I'd do anything for my sweet 16... ...yes I'd screw anything for that runaway child get up in the morning sweat over you... ...get up in the morning sweat over you get up in the morning get over you... ...get my leg over, leg over, sweet 16 that runaway child, oh, sweet 16... ...runaway girl gave my heart an engagement ring... ...she took everything everything I gave her...

Great Powers like the United States, United Kingdom, France and Japan, had set up 'Concessions' in some major coastal cities. Under the consular jurisdiction enjoyed by the Great Powers, the Concessions were governed by them, with their own sets of law. They became independent kingdoms within the territory of China. The largest of these leased areas were Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories in Hong Kong. Among them, the most important and complicated one was the leased area in Shanghai, which became an absolutely lawless place. The French Concession, Shanghai Fresh Tangshan pears.
Buy some... fresh Tangshan pears. Buy some... Fresh Tangshan pears, buy some, very fresh. Be careful... Watch where you're going. I want to look down there. You're crazy. Why do you want to look down there? Uncle San, mom asked me to bring you some soup. Thanks, Dee. Thanks, Madam Kan. No need, enjoy it. Give it to me. I won't give my soup to a lousy guy like you. Because you cheat at gambling. I told you I won't take care of you for a month. Don't even dream of having my soup. Son, let's go. Madam Kan, the soup is tasty, thanks. I'm sorry. Take it back. Tangshan pears. Whoever wants to make a fortune come here... Whoever wants to make a fortune, come here. Come here if you want a fortune... Come here if you want a fortune... Listen to me, I want to trash a gambling stall. I need some help, a group of 8 men and another of 3, you are to start a fight upon arrival, you then run while you're fighting, and chase and scatter, it's simple, each of you gets 80 cents for it. Kan, we three will go.
We three will go. All three of you can't go! You look familiar! Bastard, you cheat! How come I look familiar? You want a real fight? Lts not a real fight, just pretend. I won't be responsible if you kill yourselves. It's bad, Kan is dead. Run away. Go away... beat it... Go away... Step aside, nothing to see. Go away... Get out, all of you. Brother Fei, the Inspector has come. Get out... Don't block his way. Inspector. You bastard! I've asked you many times to send some smart guys to investigate, now this has happened! This was an accident. That bastard Kan was too nervous, he fell from the staircase and broke his neck, but the boss is timid, I think we can take advantage. Let's make use of this opportunity. Inspector Hwang, you came at the right moment, you must help me out! It was an accident. I don't know why I'm having such bad luck. Inspector Hwang. Kan is dead. A restaurant is a place for chatting and dining.
But yours is a hangout for gangsters, there are fights and arguments every day. I'm fed up with it all. You want me to seal your place or will you close it? Inspector Hwang, please do me a favor. OK, I'll help you settle this. Police, Court, Embassy and the French people. I think they want... about 1,500 dollars. I'll go bankrupt. Right, and 500 dollars for the Health Office. Health Office? What's that got to do with me? These rules were set up by the French Government, dead bodies can't be moved away without permission. If you won't pay, they'll let the dead bodies lie here, even if they're eaten by worms. You can't do business that way, right? Inspector, someone says the murderers... are friends of the owner here. We needn't investigate further then. We know what to do. - Arrest him. - Yes, sir. Inspector Hwang, I am innocent... It's nothing to do with me, let me go. It's bad to solve it so soon. You're having bad luck? Me, too! Let's go. I should have closed it a long time ago. Idiot! Why don't you find yourself a protector? Inspector, you want to have some share in the place? I must have the biggest share then!
I'd be better off selling it to you and going back to my homeland. No, if you don't stay here. I can't guarantee to have such good business. Mistress... Take a look at the accounts. Mr. Hwang, these are Tangshan pears, big and tasty. They've just arrived, this is from me. It's said you're someone here, give me your background. I'm just a common guy. My superior is Hsin Wu Lu. There are 22 incense pots above me. My mentor is Chen Fu San, and Chin Tai Yau. What do you want me for? The market people asked me to represent them, to congratulate you on becoming owner, and also hope you will have pity on the victim, by helping the widow of Kan. How do you want me to help them? If you will donate 300 dollars to them, all the people from the market will be grateful. Kan died before I took over the restaurant. Since you've come, Fei, give him 3 dollars. There're rumors saying Brother Fei went to the market 7 times, as he wanted to hire guys to ruin the restaurant, those stupid guys are saying, that Mr. Hwang wanted to take over the restaurant. - Arrest him. - Yes, sir. Mr. Hwang, in the market, there're 32 shops. 44 stalls and 216 peoples, all are anxious for me to bring back some good news. I hope you'll think this over. Boss, this pear seller is quite popular in the market. Frankly, I'm not in favor of donating, as I think Mr. Hwang... will never do such dirty thing, if you donate, you'll be framed. So I have figured out what to do. The 300 dollars shall be my salary advance from the gambling stall. What do you think? Who do you think you are?
Excuse me... sorry. Why do you sit here? Want to cause trouble? Inspector Hwang, according to tradition, if I lie here and let you beat me... for 5 minutes without yelling in pain. I should get put on salary. There've been 7 guys lying here during the last 5 years, and they all had to be carried away. Listen, is it worth doing? The market people asked me to come here, if I go back with bare hands, I'll have no face. Forgive me, please. Will you please beat softly. Please excuse me for that... Come on! Wait! Give way... Damn it! Let me teach you a lesson. It's finished. Boss, not yet 5 minutes. But my watch says it is! Very brave! Give me a job. Let him stay with me. Come out! Brother San has got the money, come out... Mom! Brother San has got the money. Brother San, you're great! Come on... don't be like this, get up... You're wonderful, Brother San! No...
Go on singing. You're useless, do you know you irritated someone? Go away. You're pretty. Does it still hurt? I've bought you some bean soup, it's quite nice. Thanks. This bean soup is delicious. How do you know? Be smart, don't stay here. Its none of your business. How much do you need, Brother San? As you like. What did you say? I've had the same dream for several nights, guess what it was? I owe you 8 dollars? OK, lend me $2 more, and make it $10. OK... I know, you've dreamed of being beaten by your instructor, right? I haven't a cent now. The dream concerns you, guess again. - My sister is dying. - Your sister is dying? You dream of marrying me? Your sister is dying? Marrying me? Shit! I've dreamt of your being beaten very hard. My sister will be beaten up hard!
5 cents, that's all. - Any more? - Do you have any more? We're nearly there, there's no time. I've kept this dollar for 1 year. Thanks, I'm leaving, I won't bother you. Remember to meet me tomorrow at the Temple. I will. Want to know why I have nightmares every night? I do! Lts the stupid thing that you did at the stall. Its known to everybody in the Concession. You'll be ruined one day for the sake of 'face'. If you really care for me, you should bear in mind I'm concerned about you. I know, I'll treat you well. I'm in a good mood, here's a special treat from me. - Don't drink too much. - He's used to. Want some noodles? Hey, get up. Hey, get up. This is Mr. Ku, I'm Lu Yun San, Tangshan pears. I've heard about you. You're smarter than your name. Since you killed... the Admiral of Yuan Xi Kai, you've got become famous in Shanghai, You're giving me a lot of face my visiting me. I... I can't drink. I drink only in 2 situations, when I'm in either a bad mood or a good mood. This is from me, cheers.
Please accept it! Right, what can I do for you? We've lost contact with our organization, so we need some money to go back to Canton. No problem, you can count on me. Here's $5, is it enough? - Here you are! - It's OK if its not enough. That table is to pay my expenses. OK. Mistress gave me this pair of shoes. Take them to a pawn shop, they are worth $3. It's enough! Still not enough? I'll figure it out then. Going by ship is less dangerous, I think. I'm afraid we need quite a lot, there's 20 of us altogether. We need about $200. $200? Brother Ku, you're regard me too highly. My ancestors bless me. The guy gambling there is very timid. You're scared about that? Bet now... Bets in... hands off... Open! - Open! Why don't you? - Open it! Odd! Pay now.
Hey, man. Bet now. We're revolutionaries, we've got a bomb, we need $200 or we'll blow you up! A... bomb? You want $200? Don't pay a dollar. We must protect the boss' money, don't panic. Even if we're blown up to pieces, we mustn't pay them. We must take action first, are you ready? Are you nuts? Are you crazy? Who is in charge here, you or me? You are! We must act accordingly. Don't stir things up. Heavens and Earth, please don't... Bet more and win more. Hands off. Down... Bet more and win more. Down... Keep calm, and don't lose. Open now. Hurrah, it's a tie, pay us... One to 24 fold. Take it, we've lost. Such things always happen in gambling stalls. You're inexperienced, you must learn more from me more. Try to be indifferent. You know?
I know. - Bet in... - Open soon. Double 6 and 4, Even number. - Brother Fei. - Are you leaving? You all get it. It's time again... Bets in... bet more and win more. Bets in... My belly hurts. I have to go to the washroom. Shit, you want to harm me? Come... Soya-bean milk deep fried dough sticks. Look out, you scare me. I've bought you some kidney beans. Delicious? I'll eat it later. What do you mean? Sorry, I'm sorry. You bastard. Sorry. I must kill you. Are the fresh pears nice? You've come? Take it, don't bully my colleague. Bye, fresh pears. Stop... do you hear me? Where are you taking me?
Stop... I'm asking you to stop now. Tangshan, you pull a rickshaw too? I remember everything that you've said before. First, no gambling, even if I gamble. I can only play with small stake. Second, I must try my best. I mustn't only help others and make my wife suffer. Right? I only want you to obey me in these 2 things, while I'll listen to you in all other aspects. I can even suffer for you. OK, just one word. Let's go. I'm afraid we'll meet someone I know. Go and wait for me in the toilet. I'll look for you after I get the tickets. Go and wait for me inside. Don't be afraid. Locomotive... Railway Minister, I want to talk to you. What do you want to stay? Go away, ask him to leave. Go away. Locomotive, isn't that the Railway Minister? - You even claim to know the Minister? - Let's talk later. 'Talk later'! What's so special? You pretend you don't know me? I won't pay for you next time.
Stand back. - What are you laughing at? - Sir. - What are you laughing at? - Go away... - Stand by the wall. - What is it? Police Officers. Boss, they're our own guys. What own guys? He's a pickpocket. Show due respect, okay? Take it for your tea. Stand still. Why are you so careless? I didn't mean it, it was a mistake. You go on, I'll be right back. Where's the money? I'm not asking about the tickets, where's the money? I lent Crow Yun 5 dollars, and I was afraid you'd scold me so I must get $5 back now. But you've lost every dollar! I asked you not to help others or gamble, but you don't take me seriously, you know I'll be finished if I fail to run away, you really don't want to escape with me. Hey... Don... Don't come near, you know my temper. I'll kill myself if you follow me. I won't follow you... Don! Go on!
Bet! It's the train. Is Mr. Sung Chao Yan coming on this train? Yeah, you're right. Our party members hold most seats in the Parliament, if we reject the Budget, all the civil servants will receive no pay. I think Yuan Xi Kai must compromise. Please show your tickets. What is your opinion of the restructuring of ministers, Mr. Sung? I'll have a press conference later. Thanks. Help! A shot, go and take a look. How is it... Give way... There's an assassin. Go after him. Don't run. It's Locomotive! Sung Chao Yan was killed, you get 5000 dollars. See if you like it? Sure, Minister, thank you. Brother San, it's really planned by the Railway Minister. I think the Minister... and Locomotive executed the murder. Brother San, what if we made a mistake? What to do? It's his bad luck. What do you mean? Let's pretend it a robbery. I want the fatty's watch and wallet. I want her necklace.
I want her rings. I'll take the suit. I want nothing, I only want the chicken on the table. I want nothing, I only want to touch her breasts. Get in the car. I'll take you somewhere. Move... Save me. Why are you so slow? Hurry... come on... Why is it you? Where's Ting? He's behind you. Why are you holding her? Aren't we taking her too? Throw her down. Run away. Let me go. Watch out, there are bullets inside. I beg you to let me go. Give us the murderer's name, and where is he hiding? I promise you... I won't tell your wife about your affairs. I'm always righteous. I have no argument with him, why must I have him killed? I was going to ask Locomotive this question, but you were faster, you transferred him to Tientsin. Do you want me to find him there? Why must I have him killed? As he's a follower of Yuan Xi Kai.
Then, why must Yuan Xi Kai have him killed? Politics is too complicated. I don't want to get involved with it. Me too. I'm begging you. Don't move. - Good shot. - Excellent. He's so scared that he pissed himself. - What happen? - I don't know. It's my turn now, don't move about. This is my first time shooting, give me a chance, move closer. Be careful, don't shoot him to death. Don't... I told you not to move. Don't move or I'll injure you. The assassin is called Swordman Yin, he's hiding at 77, Almond Avenue. Damn it, why did you talk so soon? Brother San, it's fixed, must we kill him? I haven't had any fun yet. Go inside. Don't move... Guys, where are you from? Hey, big guy, don't shoot if you don't know him, set him free. Come on, I'm Li Wai Min, Railway Minister. Come and rescue me now, he's from the French Concession. Guys, take it easy, we're from police station., we've just solved a big case. The Railway Minister admitted... he's involved in the murder of Sung Chao Yan.
Inspector Hwang, if he hadn't done that, but you had him kidnapped, what shall I do? We of the police force will never kidnap people, this is done by gangsters. Yun San, tell him. Of course, the Inspector gets the credit while I get blamed. This should be to the credit of us both. Mr. Hwang, this is part of China, how can you arrest people here? With one word: Violence! Take them all back! Inspector Hwang has solved the murder case of Sung Chao Yan. Hwang was then cited in a dispatch by the French consul general. Thanks... Eat more... I'll play with you later. Thanks... Uncle Big Head. Uncle Big Head, this is for you. Please take it. - This red packet is for you. - Thank You. This is the college fee for you son. This is yours... Please enjoy it, help yourself. Mr. Lu, happy birthday to you. Thanks... Your red packet. Thanks. Drink with San. Brother Fei. San is useless, he gives away money and holds a big banquet!
To know a man, we must see how he spends money. When San gets a big reward, he pays off his debts, this shows he's trustworthy, and more people will believe him, offering banquet and presents is a way to make more friends, so when he comes out into the world, he has lots of help. He's not like you, Fei, you got a young wife when you had money. You're useless, I say. Fei, introduce me to a young wife if you have any. You're horny. - Want to fight? - Yeah... You needn't pay so much for her, but it's too late. She's gone to Peking to learn from my classmate. Don't you know she's so sad because you failed to elope with her? She cried for 2 nights, she never cried before, you know she's most stubborn, and this time she insisted that I send her to Peking. She left you a letter, take it. Can you read it? She's written everything down. Can you read? Of course I can. I can read about 400 characters. Can't you read? I can, but no more than 40 character. Can you read this letter for me? Yun San, are you Yun San? He's my friend. I can't read this for you then. Teacher says we mustn't read others' letters. I was joking, I am Yun San myself. Teacher says it's bad to tell lies, you must behave better. OK... I'll behave better, please go ahead.
There're many characters I don't know, what shall I do? Just say 'X' if you don't know it. OK then. Yun San, you make me disappointed. What I can't forgive... is that you XXX credit! Just then you XXX me and then you XXX. How am I supposed to XXX trust you. I don't want to see you again! More and more strange words. Furthermore, you XXX, so I XXX XXX. I XXXXXX, instructor XXXXXX. You'll be given XXX anyway. Don, evening of October 8. - Is there any address? - No. Is the address among the XXXs you read? There're some words here. Yeah, an address. Please don't XXX anymore, instructor won't XXX you, that's all. Brother Fei. Why don't we invite grandpa home. If they look like this, I guess they will talk more serious. Jung In is right. His body is not in good state. So don't add oil to this old man. Just stay still. But... Just now when I saw the elders quarrellings, why would I admire? What?
Now, I don't even have a partner to quarrel. Don't you have a way to find Ji Soo? What can I do if I found her? She left because she said she doesn't like. She didn't leave because she doesn't like you. I guess you guys are quite down too. Don't come and console me anymore. I got to go. When I get out from here, to somebody, my console is it useful? Since it's like this, you want to move out? I know oppa will come along. It's really tiring me. You store the gas and didn't use, why are you chopping the firewood? I want to bake sweet potatoes. Fine, then you chop. Aren't I sick? 70 years of friendship, can't you just do it? Let these 70 years of friendship to meet the ghost. If I continue to be like this, I will be the one who die first. You try too. I said I am sick. Don't keep on saying that. My back is going to break. Chop those woods and then wash the potatoes and pass it to me. You're so wicked. You ask me to do one by one. One by one. Lean it against both sides. Yes. Find a safe spot.
The most wicked thing in this world. Our age is already above 70. At first this leg is not listening to me anymore. I said if you want to make this, you climb up here yourself and do. I guess you have to turn to this direction a bit. How to do? How to turn? If you want to do, you have to do properly. Aren't the birds will fly over here and build a new home? You crazy man. Stop worrying for the birds. You should worry for yourself. If you don't treat me better now, when we go to the new world, I won't give you food. You are really able to fool. If that's the case, you're the one who is at lost. A friend who can accept your bad attitude, you look all around I guess there is only me. Joon Bae, if I go there already, you have to drink peacefully. Why? You don't have a sick body, what can you do? What joke are you saying? Are you angry with your liver? You purposely said this. Is it? I want that... I want smoking pipe. Because I consider for my health that's why I didn't smoke. When I go there, I want to smoke using the pipe and go for a stroll. Will there be any effect? I want to treat myself and live as if I'm 19 years old. I don't have the health, so I guess age I still can't control it.
If that's the case, I want to be 20 years old and be your brother. Man Bok. When you're done chopping the woods, clear up the bird cage. Yes. Here. For you to measure. Okay. For you. It's done. Nothings wrong why you keep yelling change. See, it's not bad. Fine. Fine. My love, what are you doing? I'm skipping work. Really? Yes. Because I want to meet my love. Quickly come back. I'm not going to have dinner before you're back. I got it. Temporary stop business. Healthy fried rice cake is resuming business. I ask you to cook. What kind of noodle you're cooking? Try and see. You gave out such a good daughter-in-law, what kind of hardship is this. When it's about time, let's go back. Go back?
If you really want to go back, then you go back yourself. Bastard. If you left me here and go there yourself first, I'll engrave on your tomb, that there is a bastard sleeping here. It's not cook yet. All your saliva already went it. How do you expect me to eat it? Nothing will happen. All went in to my eyes. You bastard. You're really a bastard. You're really... You come here. Stand there. I spill this on you. You can't. You can't. Stand there. Come here. I hit it. Welcome. The chef is changed? The chef is on a holiday. I'm the chef's assistant. What do you need? [For the time being there is no car wash service or night time parking] [Seung Ri Car Center] Are you done, honey? Did you cried because you missed grandpa? Let's change our mood and go for a date. Why you so heat up?
Are you feeling not well? No, maybe I'm just too cold. Like that can you be our little one's dad? Later when our parents are asleep, let's go and eat fried squid. I'm kinda tired today. Can't we go next time? Then next round I'll add one more bowl. Are you all right? There is no car. No, I mean you really have to go? Did I do something that hurts you? It's been 70 years you're hurting me. If I continue to be like this, my shop is going to close down. It's been such a long time the President is not in the shop. What do you think the shop will become? No. I thought the staff in your shop are mostly steady? Why? You're about to go to that world. Are you scare when you realize that you'll be alone? That... that what... Let's catch a chicken and boil soup. No, that... let's catch a fish and boil soup. Put this down. Go and find a nanny. No, you... My pay is kinda expensive, are you okay with it? My debt is quite a lot. But, I'm very confident in cooking and cleaning.
Where should I start from? I got to go. No. Why are you here? He is gone and even didn't think of asking me to stay. I will never come here again. Don't go, Joon Bae. Please take care of me. No, that... Joon Bae he... How can you be sleeping? Didn't I wake you up just now? Are you feeling not well? I guess you're having a fever. At this point I'm still find. No. Today, you'll stay at home. No, I must be having a flu. I'm going to do some wash up. Go and prepare the rice. Are you sure you're all right? Honey, are you looking down on me now? I can even flutter you now. Quickly go and do the wash up. Sung Joon. Recently, why are coming home late? I'm watching the shop and have to play golf. Even if I have 10 bodies, I don't think it's enough. Later come to the shop. The seasoning is finish.
That, I've already made it yesterday. Form today onwards, if there is no time I might not go there. Mom, you read the recipe and try to make it yourself. I can't do it myself. No. Didn't you chase our chef head away because you're very confident? Honey. I got to go. Go. - I got to go. - Come back early. Yes. Why did you mention Ji Soo in front of Sung Joon? I guess you've forgotten. You see his face, do you think he has forgotten? Is it time for Jung In to go to the hospital? Pregnant woman has to go to the hospital once a month. They will know what to do. You're right. Jung In doesn't come to our house anymore. Every time I called her she'll say she is busy and end the conversation. This is all because of President Kang. I guess it's time for him to come back. His stubborn attitude it's really... Dad, this weekend I'm going to meet grandpa. Do you want to come along? No. What for? It will only make me mad. Why is this soup is so salty?
No, it's not salty. Dad is not awake? I will act as I see. Today you have to earn more money too. Thanks for your hard work. Come back early, honey. It's late now, how can you still sleeping? Quickly wake up. If you keep behaving like this, I don't want to become mom's daughter-in-law anymore. Don't be like this. Don't be like this. You think you ask me to stop I will stop? Didn't you say you will teach me how to live? How can you sit aside and ignore me? Isn't this lying? You were the one who wanted to marry in. When did I ask you to marry in? I have already registered, how can you break your promise? At this moment how can you to not acknowledge it? Come out. Come out. Come out. Quickly. This kid, what are you doing? You're really... - What are you doing? - Quickly come out. What are you doing? You're really... These... what should I do with these?
There will be a limit if I do this myself. This mess, isn't it done by you guys? If we do nothing, will there be no dust at home? What should I do with these? You married to our son and don't even know how to do this? I'm really... Where do you get such mother-in-law? What did you tell me? Didn't you say that you will never let her touch a drop of water. How can... I'm not giving President Kang my liver. Continue to give her orders. Why are you mentioning the liver? It's been sometime this thing happened. If Jung In is alone, I won't say anything. This is really... Why are you shouting? This is not bad. Looks good. Why is it so noisy? What happened? This is really... Really making me speechless.
