Ho: Yes, Boss. Yes, Boss.

Boss: "Yes, Boss. Yes, Boss." Haven't you wasted enough time!

Ho: But I... but I always do my best.

Boss: Then how you failed?

Ho: Ah! I found that they're being helped by a man named... Tang Lung.

Boss: A man? Only *one* man?

Ho: Ahh, but this man knows Chinese Gung-Fu.

Boss: [incredulously] Kung-Fu?

'Uncle' Wang: Don't blame me for all of this. The blame is on Ah-Lung. He stirred up this trouble, the fool!

Tony: What does this... what does this mean?

'Uncle' Wang: What does this mean? You must know. I've worked hard all of my life. And I've got nothing at all to show for it! My own wife and children are waiting for me in Hong Kong. If the restaurant cooperates, they'll pay me well for all of this. After that I can go back to Hong Kong a rich man. So you see, I have to do this. I have to do it!

Ho: Please, we are friends! Tang Lung is our enemy. Please wait for our boss to come back to decide which one of you will take care of that chinaman. Okay?
