The Blade (1995) Movie Script
The Field of the Great Hold.
l don't know what it is.
very far from each other.
But he never told me why.
l remember hearing many dialects.
l learned a few of them.
Daddy was telling me
many trade stories.
Everything was a matter of commerce
to him.
lf we want something,
we have to buy it... and pay it.
"sale" and "payment".
Daddy used to say:
Justice?
lt's hard to define.
But we can't predict anything.
The one being unfair might be you.
Then it's pointless to have any remorse.
No one will feel pity for you.
I never knew what daddy was doing.
Until the day
when I saw pretty lights at my window.
They were blinking.
Just like in a fun fair.
lt was wonderful.
My imaginary world fell apart.
That's when l started to spy
on daddy's activities.
lt's made of three thin steel layers.
lt involves two men.
The day he arrived,
l'm responsible for the scar on his face.
l was five years old, he was seven.
He didn't say a word when l hurt him.
l will owe him forever.
My debt is on his face.
Puss!
Puss!

The fight of my dreams will start soon.
Come to the kitchen to drink some soup.
Come to the kitchen to drink some soup.
But this fight isn't theirs.
lt's between me and two men.
How to share a bowl of soup?
Where did Ding On and lron Skull go?
Where are they?
l didn't know l would pay for it later.
This copper tin is magnificent.
lt's beautiful.
What is it?
- lt comes from the West.
A kind of God?
Who did it save?
lt's an amulet.
How much?
l saved some.
Let's kill this pig!
Look at him. He's chatting up.
Pay him later.
Help him find a girl. Hurry up.
Let go of me!
You wanted to fight, didn't you? Run!
Are you sure of the price?
lt's expensive. Did you count it well?
it makes 1 6.
Just for that? Too expensive.
Boss!
There's a problem with the bill.
ls someone refusing to pay?
Grab the knives.
Five knives to skin the ox.
Damn monk!
Never try the impossible.
The money is on the table.
- Thank you.
Count it safely.
Let's run! Let's run!
Master! Master!
lron Skull!
Let's run.
Are you crazy? Stop!
- But that's him.
Let them come if they dare!
Are you afraid to show yourselves?
Avenge him?
We still have goods to deliver.
lron Skull!
Where are those hunters?
We're working at the swords factory.
Our brothers will fight against you.
Come tonight if you dare.
Meet at the wood warehouse.
We're making swords.
lron Skull and Ding On have changed.
They don't talk to me anymore.
lron Skull keeps staring at this ball.
And Ding On is looking up.
They weren't like that before.
The fight of my dreams will start soon.
Will l be the stake?
lt doesn't matter
as long as the winner
belongs to me.
l hate those hunters! Let's kill them!
What's going on?
No deliveries today?
What are those swords for? ls it war?
So what? Do you plan to kill them all?
Are you here to make swords or to fight?
Do you know how to fight?
Why are you watching Ding On?
Harder!
Harder!
- Well done.
Harder!
- Well done!
Speak! Speak!
Harder!
l'll fight if you won't.
Do you persist in your choice?
Master, they want to help people.
Do you want to fight too?
Kneel!
lt was a monk.
Why didn't anyone intercede?
Boss, you're a buddhist.
Does Buddha promote violence?
l want to keep up my reputation.
l won't let anyone slander me.
Go up to take the sign off!
Have you heard?
- This monk was killed.
Silence!
Quiet. lt's none of your business.
Say something!
Two days later,
l never imagined things would change.
This day, l entered
lt's a bloody ceremony.
Keep quiet. You'll throw flowers soon.
You'll catch butterflies.
And you'll buy a nice vase to put them in.
l'm not a child anymore. l grew up!
l decided
that if l could, l'd kill them all.
But l wasn't able to do it.
lts history
encourages us to be good.
lt will be Ding On.
He's with me since the beginning.
That's why he will succeed me.
Master!
lf you can't do it, who will?
l want to pass it on to you.
My decision is made.
His orders will be mine.
You will do as he says.
Any suggestions?
Put this on.
We have no future here.
Unless we do like Ding On.
Fake loyalty towards the master.
lt did him good.
l won't accept this traitor as a master.
How will he run the company?
All he can do is breaking swords.
He wants to be her husband!
Let's go first.
Why are you quarrelling?
Why don't you want to wear armour?
What kind of attitude is it?
Put on the armour or l'll break your jaw!
They're gonna hate him.
Ding On's father died so miserably.
Even if he thinks he's indebted to him,
it's gonna kill him.
Daddy is indebted to him?
His father died miserably?
What happened?
He was hung and skinned alive.
lt was horrible!
And l could see his face.
Since that night,
the nightmare everybody had forgotten
suddenly reappeared.
l had never seen him like that.
Tell me!
My last name isn't Man.
What was your father's name?
l believe it was Lai.
"His sword weighs more than 50 kg"
Did he die miserably?
How did he die?
He was killed by a powerful man.
A terrifying man able to fly.
His body is covered with tattoos.
he met some pillagers.
He managed to escape with his people.
But your family was slaughtered.
Master, my father's murderer is here!
Fei?
You're too slow! Faster!
Brother Fung!
Tell me.
lt's Fei Lung. He can fly.
His body is covered with tattoos.
ldentify yourself!
Master. Tell me.
Was my father named Lai?
Who told you that?
Who killed him? What's his name?
l won't tell you. l promised your father.
l won't tell you as long as l'll live.
But how was my father?
Did he deserve to die?
Take my son!
Did he deserve to die?
- No.
Was he a good man?
Yes.
Master, you took care of me.
l'm grateful for that.
Here's an amulet from the West.
lt will bring you peace.
Keep it.
Faster!
l'm coming!
Ding On!
Ding On!
Ding On!
Ding On, where are you?
A bird was caught in a trap.
Ding On!
Siu Ling!
And here's a pig!
Did you kidnap a girl?
Siu Ling!
Siu Ling!
Siu Ling!
Siu Ling!
lt's gonna be all right.
We'll go back home.
Ding On! Let's run quickly!
Siu Ling!
Let me grab your shoulder!
Give me my father's sword back!
This way!
- Give it back to me!
This way!
Give it back to me!
Give it back to me!
Give it back to me!
Give it back to me!
Give it back to me!
Here!
Ding On fell in it?
Go down to check.
- lt's deep.
lron Skull!
l'm here!
Ding On was here!
Don't worry about me! Save Ding On.
Don't worry about me! Save Ding On!
Dow!
- Don't worry about me!
Do you hear? Save Ding On!
The mountain is wooded.
We wanted to find Ding On before dawn.
Some said he had been eaten by wolves.
And others said he was still alive.
Whatever had happened to him, his arm
Ding On, are you back?
Ding On!
l thought he was back.
They told me it was his spirit.
Let's pray! Let's pray together!
Let's pray! Let's pray together!
Ding On...
You've had a serene and quiet life.
But the factory
will never be peaceful again.
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
Daddy, now that l lost my arm,
l can't avenge you anymore.
Bless me. l'll build my house here.
l'm sorry.
This sword, take it back.
You have to work.
This food is revolting.
Here.
Master Fei Lung.
Fei Lung...
ls he the one claiming he can fly?
Who are you to touch me like that?
Why are you doing this? lt's a disgrace.
You can't earn your life.
Life is full of dangers.
Everybody's working hard to survive.
You need luck to succeed.
And you need to jump at opportunities.
They have nothing to eat.
There's no point in working hard.
Get to work! Did you want to hit me?
Did you?
We have to cut his head off.
Siu Ling, get up!
Get up!
On your feet! Get up!
You look like a ghost.
Go outside with the others.
We'll wait if we can't find him.
Look in what sorry state you are!
Get dressed! We'll look for Ding On.
A pig almost stole it.
Why this old knife?
l use it everyday.
l wanted to use your sword.
But you didn't want to and you buried it.
You're weird.
Did you get paid?
Do they really come from the factory?
There's an awl. They're good knives.
Which factory?
There's only one. lt's the most famous.
Don't you know it?
That's enough.
Only fools don't buy knives.
They're sharp and strong.
They're made of the best steel.
Many things changed
since my childhood.
Here's the Field of the Great Hold
they used to mention.
Suddenly, l understood.
won't take place where l wanted to.
This woman is scaring me.
l don't know her, but her stare
seems to mean that she knows me well.
Here's the Field of the Great Hold.
l don't understand anymore.
Yet, they seem to be.
But are they really happy?
Maybe they know how to be happy.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Go away! Go away!
You can rest peacefully.
l'll watch the entrance.
Eat something when you'll wake up.
We still have a long way to go tomorrow.
Everybody got a sword. lt was my turn.
That's when l started hating everybody.
l hated lron Skull. l hated Ding On.
And l hated myself.
l was nothing.
l got lost.
Just like them.
l could feel they were playing a game.
A brutal game.
Where have you been?
Lick me up to the last drop!
You're new here.
lt's the first time you're coming here.
Yes.
May l offer you a drink?
No thanks, l'm in a hurry.
l told you you're insulting me!
You can drink it alone.
My turn.
Let's go!
What did you do?
Stay here. l'll look for another place.
Keep quiet or l'll leave you here!
Here's the famous bounty hunter.
You see?
This man on his knees
wanted to prevent us from getting rich.
Give us everything you have.
Otherwise...
Do you sew?
Let's find something to eat.
Where's the remaining rice?
Ding On!
l found a book.
Read it to me please.
Tell me if it talks about my family.
You, you know how to read.
Read it.
- lt's a kung fu book.
There's nothing about you.
lt was in my house.
lt must mention me somewhere.
Keep looking.
Give it to me, l'll read it myself.
l'm not called Ding On.
l don't know my parents either.
Give it back!
You're the only one who calls me Blacky.
How much?
lt's very expensive.
lt's very popular. Prices are increasing.
No money? Get lost, one-armed!
Don't provoke me!
To steal?
That's why we must be grateful
to his owner for what we have.
Where's the other half?
Why this crap?
We'll have to hide when they'll be back.
Otherwise it will never end.
You pity the mouse caught by the cat.
You'll die. You can't defeat them.
lron Skull, what are you doing?
So why did you tie her up?
Untie her.
- No.
Untie her!
Forget it. She is wanted.
l brought her here to protect her.
She'll be safe here.
She isn't used to it.
She's safe here.
Clean her. She is spattered with blood.
The sword! Where's the sword?
ls it the reason you saved her?
And he will treat you like the others.
No, l'm not like that!
Then why are you doing this?
Because l love her.
You love her?
You love her?
All men say that.
Let's both leave together.
l can't. l have to find someone.
Who are you looking for?
No.
Ding On will never treat me like that.
l want to find him!
Leave me alone! l'll find him on my own!
l don't need you! Go away!
l'm leaving, alone.
l'll find Ding On for you.
But sometimes others choose for you.
Blacky, hide quickly!
Leave him to me!
Damn one-armed!
l'll beat him to death.
Master, look at me.
lsn't he afraid to die?
This way! Don't go! l want to kill you.
Burn his house!
Burn his house!
Burn it! Burn the evil!
How did you dare burn my house?
How do you dare steal my goods?
l'm going to kill you!
Fei Lung? ls it true?
Can you fly?
A good fighter lives there in isolation.
They're as many as
we are. Let's kill them.
A good fighter? ln isolation?
You won't do it on your own.
There will be a price to pay.
Those two boxes won't be enough.
So what?
Do you want to see who's the fastest?
l've heard there's a one-armed.
A one-armed pig?
l can't afford to hire you.
No need to gamble to earn a living.
Go to another table if you don't like it.
What are you looking at?
Fei Lung, l'll work with you.
The mountain hero has a sharp blade.
He kills all bandits.
He only has one arm, but he's a master.
He's incredible.
The mountain hero has a sharp blade
He kills all bandits.
He only has one arm, but he's a master.
Leave at once!
That's where l was born.
At least it's free.
You're so fat, Mr. Pig.
You're lucky to live another day.
Your time is coming soon.
Light! l stole a candle.
Light!
What are you doing?
- l'm thinking.
Did you fall in love?
Good and evil, it's the same.
When the man is far you miss him.
lsn't it true? There's no difference.
l don't know if l'll become like you.
Do you love the one you're looking for?
l used to love him.
l put it here. Where is it?
Where did it go? l put it here.
Nothing!
l can't see anything, it's too dark.
l'll steal another candle.
You can't trust a man.
How did you free yourself?
You can't trust a woman either.
Wait for me.
What the hell is this racket?
Run away!
Hurry!
Don't go!
The sword!
A woman?
- Who is she?
lt's not a bandit.
Why did you want to kill us?
And you?
l remember you. You're not a bandit.
What are you doing here?
There's a girl up there. Save her.
Come, have a look.
- Blacky!
Are you one-armed?
ls that you, Ding On?
Ding On!
Ding On! l know you're Ding On.
Wait for me! l know you're Ding On!
Who is she?
Why did you knock her out?
Siu Ling!
Hold her.
Blacky, go back there!
Take this.
You're here. l was looking for you.
Master.
- Ding On!
l'm here!
- Ding On is alive, l saw him!
Ding On!
They're waiting for you.
Don't you want to see them?
God punishes evil doers.
That's why God is armed.
A blade. And He's using it.
ln peacetime everything was fine.
But now bandits are in the city.
Boss, open the door!
Open the door!
Who's there?
- Boss, open the door!
lt's Uncle Wah.
There are bandits in the city.
We've got nowhere to go.
Please, open!
Dow!
Check if they're carrying weapons.
Open the door!
Yes, it's very serious.
Don't move!
These people are strangers.
No weapons. Open the door!
Open!
Wait! Don't open yet.
lt's ok, they don't carry weapons.
Let's help them.
- Yes, lets' help them.
We outnumber them anyway.
lt will be fine. Don't worry.
Open the door!
Open the door.
Open the door!
Where are you going Uncle Wah?
lt's the bandits!
Close the door! Hurry!
The master asked me to take you.
Hurry up. lt's dangerous outside.
lron Skull! Go watch the door!
Fei Lung!
l already killed so many dirty pigs.
l can't imagine a warrior is hiding here.
l know why Skeleton is scared.
Don't worry. They're the losers!
Shall we kill him? Easy.
Don't talk so much. Kill him.
l kill pigs for money. And today,
you're the pig!
Come back! lron Skull!
He's too strong. Be careful.
l'd rather die fighting.
lt's none of your business. Shut up!
l'm the only one responsible here.
Let them go.
- Ok, l'll let them go.
l didn't pay you to cut off his arm,
but to kill them all!
Go ahead! Why do you hesitate?
Cut it off! Are you scared?
Master, no!
Master!
lron Skull!
Faster!
You're too slow! Faster!
Faster! Use your sword!
Kill him, Fei Tien!
Master, the sword!
Move away!
Siu Ling?
- Daddy, are you all right?
Why did you come back?
What are you doing here?
Who is it?
Ding On.
Let's go!
ls it you Fei Lung? ls it you
who killed my father?
Ding On, forget the past.
Run away!
My generation doesn't have any choice.
l don't want to wander like a ghost.
"Fast Sword in the River of the Noon"
You're a Lai.
l can tell you his first name.
He was called Lai But Fiu.
Good. Now l will avenge my father.
Ding On! Don't do it!
Be quick!
Those who lost a battle
Our generation wants to take revenge.
Maybe the next one won't.
l'll try to take revenge too.
Today is a bad day for you.
Would you happen to be too slow
to defeat me?
l'll get you all, you dirty pigs!
Daddy!
Ding On and lron Skull were finally back.
Now l knew why daddy used fake names
without interruption.
Ding On and lron Skull
left.
Why did they come?
Why did they leave?
Why were we existing?
l didn't go to look for them.
Ding On!
ls it really you?
Each year, it was the same ritual.
They never stayed for a long time.
Watching for their return,
with the hope they'll stay longer.
The Field of the Great Hold?
l still don't get it.
But l don't care.
KATZ UND BART.
l don't know what it is.
very far from each other.
But he never told me why.
l remember hearing many dialects.
l learned a few of them.
Daddy was telling me
many trade stories.
Everything was a matter of commerce
to him.
lf we want something,
we have to buy it... and pay it.
"sale" and "payment".
Daddy used to say:
Justice?
lt's hard to define.
But we can't predict anything.
The one being unfair might be you.
Then it's pointless to have any remorse.
No one will feel pity for you.

Let's pray! Let's pray together!
Let's pray! Let's pray together!
Ding On...
You've had a serene and quiet life.
But the factory
will never be peaceful again.
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
My arm!
Daddy, now that l lost my arm,
l can't avenge you anymore.
Bless me. l'll build my house here.
l'm sorry.
This sword, take it back.
You have to work.
This food is revolting.
Here.
Master Fei Lung.
Fei Lung...
ls he the one claiming he can fly?
Who are you to touch me like that?
Why are you doing this? lt's a disgrace.
You can't earn your life.
Life is full of dangers.
Everybody's working hard to survive.
You need luck to succeed.
And you need to jump at opportunities.
They have nothing to eat.
There's no point in working hard.
Get to work! Did you want to hit me?
Did you?
We have to cut his head off.
Siu Ling, get up!
Get up!
On your feet! Get up!
You look like a ghost.
Go outside with the others.
We'll wait if we can't find him.
Look in what sorry state you are!
Get dressed! We'll look for Ding On.
A pig almost stole it.
Why this old knife?
l use it everyday.
l wanted to use your sword.
But you didn't want to and you buried it.
You're weird.
Did you get paid?
Do they really come from the factory?
There's an awl. They're good knives.
Which factory?
There's only one. lt's the most famous.
Don't you know it?
That's enough.
Only fools don't buy knives.
They're sharp and strong.
They're made of the best steel.
Many things changed
since my childhood.
Here's the Field of the Great Hold
they used to mention.
Suddenly, l understood.
won't take place where l wanted to.
This woman is scaring me.
l don't know her, but her stare
seems to mean that she knows me well.
Here's the Field of the Great Hold.
l don't understand anymore.
Yet, they seem to be.
But are they really happy?
Maybe they know how to be happy.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Go away! Go away!
You can rest peacefully.
l'll watch the entrance.
Eat something when you'll wake up.
We still have a long way to go tomorrow.
Everybody got a sword. lt was my turn.
That's when l started hating everybody.
l hated lron Skull. l hated Ding On.
And l hated myself.
l was nothing.
l got lost.
Just like them.
l could feel they were playing a game.
A brutal game.
Where have you been?
Lick me up to the last drop!
You're new here.
lt's the first time you're coming here.
Yes.
May l offer you a drink?
No thanks, l'm in a hurry.
l told you you're insulting me!
You can drink it alone.
My turn.
Let's go!
What did you do?
Stay here. l'll look for another place.
Keep quiet or l'll leave you here!
Here's the famous bounty hunter.
You see?
This man on his knees
wanted to prevent us from getting rich.
Give us everything you have.
Otherwise...
Do you sew?
Let's find something to eat.
Where's the remaining rice?
Ding On!
l found a book.
Read it to me please.
Tell me if it talks about my family.
You, you know how to read.
Read it.
- lt's a kung fu book.
There's nothing about you.
lt was in my house.
lt must mention me somewhere.
Keep looking.
Give it to me, l'll read it myself.
l'm not called Ding On.
l don't know my parents either.
Give it back!
You're the only one who calls me Blacky.
How much?
lt's very expensive.
lt's very popular. Prices are increasing.
No money? Get lost, one-armed!
Don't provoke me!
To steal?
That's why we must be grateful
to his owner for what we have.
Where's the other half?
Why this crap?
We'll have to hide when they'll be back.
Otherwise it will never end.
You pity the mouse caught by the cat.
You'll die. You can't defeat them.
lron Skull, what are you doing?
So why did you tie her up?
Untie her.
- No.
Untie her!
Forget it. She is wanted.
l brought her here to protect her.
She'll be safe here.
She isn't used to it.
She's safe here.
Clean her. She is spattered with blood.
The sword! Where's the sword?
ls it the reason you saved her?
And he will treat you like the others.
No, l'm not like that!
Then why are you doing this?
Because l love her.
You love her?
You love her?
All men say that.
Let's both leave together.
l can't. l have to find someone.
Who are you looking for?
No.
Ding On will never treat me like that.
l want to find him!
Leave me alone! l'll find him on my own!
l don't need you! Go away!
l'm leaving, alone.
l'll find Ding On for you.
But sometimes others choose for you.
Blacky, hide quickly!
Leave him to me!
Damn one-armed!
l'll beat him to death.
Master, look at me.
lsn't he afraid to die?
This way! Don't go! l want to kill you.
Burn his house!
Burn his house!
Burn it! Burn the evil!
How did you dare burn my house?
How do you dare steal my goods?
l'm going to kill you!
Fei Lung? ls it true?
Can you fly?
A good fighter lives there in isolation.
They're as many as
we are. Let's kill them.
A good fighter? ln isolation?
You won't do it on your own.
There will be a price to pay.
Those two boxes won't be enough.
So what?
Do you want to see who's the fastest?
l've heard there's a one-armed.
A one-armed pig?
l can't afford to hire you.
No need to gamble to earn a living.
Go to another table if you don't like it.
What are you looking at?
Fei Lung, l'll work with you.
The mountain hero has a sharp blade.
He kills all bandits.
He only has one arm, but he's a master.
He's incredible.
The mountain hero has a sharp blade
He kills all bandits.
He only has one arm, but he's a master.
Leave at once!
That's where l was born.
At least it's free.
You're so fat, Mr. Pig.
You're lucky to live another day.
Your time is coming soon.
Light! l stole a candle.
Light!
What are you doing?
- l'm thinking.
Did you fall in love?
Good and evil, it's the same.
When the man is far you miss him.
lsn't it true? There's no difference.
l don't know if l'll become like you.
Do you love the one you're looking for?
l used to love him.
l put it here. Where is it?
Where did it go? l put it here.
Nothing!
l can't see anything, it's too dark.
l'll steal another candle.
You can't trust a man.
How did you free yourself?
You can't trust a woman either.
Wait for me.
What the hell is this racket?
Run away!
Hurry!
Don't go!
The sword!
A woman?
- Who is she?
lt's not a bandit.
Why did you want to kill us?
And you?
l remember you. You're not a bandit.
What are you doing here?
There's a girl up there. Save her.
Come, have a look.
- Blacky!
Are you one-armed?
ls that you, Ding On?
Ding On!
Ding On! l know you're Ding On.
Wait for me! l know you're Ding On!
Who is she?
Why did you knock her out?
Siu Ling!
Hold her.
Blacky, go back there!
Take this.
You're here. l was looking for you.
Master.
- Ding On!
l'm here!
- Ding On is alive, l saw him!
Ding On!
They're waiting for you.
Don't you want to see them?
God punishes evil doers.
That's why God is armed.
A blade. And He's using it.
ln peacetime everything was fine.
But now bandits are in the city.
Boss, open the door!
Open the door!
Who's there?
- Boss, open the door!
lt's Uncle Wah.
There are bandits in the city.
We've got nowhere to go.
Please, open!
Dow!
Check if they're carrying weapons.
Open the door!
Yes, it's very serious.
Don't move!
These people are strangers.
No weapons. Open the door!
Open!
Wait! Don't open yet.
lt's ok, they don't carry weapons.
Let's help them.
- Yes, lets' help them.
We outnumber them anyway.
lt will be fine. Don't worry.
Open the door!
Open the door.
Open the door!
Where are you going Uncle Wah?
lt's the bandits!
Close the door! Hurry!
The master asked me to take you.
Hurry up. lt's dangerous outside.
lron Skull! Go watch the door!
Fei Lung!
l already killed so many dirty pigs.
l can't imagine a warrior is hiding here.
l know why Skeleton is scared.
Don't worry. They're the losers!
Shall we kill him? Easy.
Don't talk so much. Kill him.
l kill pigs for money. And today,
you're the pig!
Come back! lron Skull!
He's too strong. Be careful.
l'd rather die fighting.
lt's none of your business. Shut up!
l'm the only one responsible here.
Let them go.
- Ok, l'll let them go.
l didn't pay you to cut off his arm,
but to kill them all!
Go ahead! Why do you hesitate?
Cut it off! Are you scared?
Master, no!
Master!
lron Skull!
Faster!
You're too slow! Faster!
Faster! Use your sword!
Kill him, Fei Tien!
Master, the sword!
Move away!
Siu Ling?
- Daddy, are you all right?
Why did you come back?
What are you doing here?
Who is it?
Ding On.
Let's go!
ls it you Fei Lung? ls it you
who killed my father?
Ding On, forget the past.
Run away!
My generation doesn't have any choice.
l don't want to wander like a ghost.
"Fast Sword in the River of the Noon"
You're a Lai.
l can tell you his first name.
He was called Lai But Fiu.
Good. Now l will avenge my father.
Ding On! Don't do it!
Be quick!
Those who lost a battle
Our generation wants to take revenge.
Maybe the next one won't.
l'll try to take revenge too.
Today is a bad day for you.
Would you happen to be too slow
to defeat me?
l'll get you all, you dirty pigs!
Daddy!
Ding On and lron Skull were finally back.
Now l knew why daddy used fake names
without interruption.
Ding On and lron Skull
left.
Why did they come?
Why did they leave?
Why were we existing?
l didn't go to look for them.
Ding On!
ls it really you?
Each year, it was the same ritual.
They never stayed for a long time.
Watching for their return,
with the hope they'll stay longer.
The Field of the Great Hold?
l still don't get it.
But l don't care.
KATZ UND BART.
