唐: But... you lose so much money per every two days, and you come to seek help from me after losing money, l don't think l can help you forever.
祝: Sure! Because of that, l tried to risk for the last time.
But l lost the money which l could earn till my death.
That's 300,000 taels.
So, l have to beg you to draw 30 paintings...in order to save my life.
唐: l see, I see.
Shui, go out first.
仆人水: Yes, master.
唐: Damn you, don't you think l owe you that? You need 30 paintings?
No way!
祝: Please! lt's my fault,l am now begging you to forgive me.
Also, l always help you to sell your paintings which make you get rich!
Some loan-sharks are waiting for me outside,
They want me to get 30 paintings of yours within one hour.
Otherwise, they'll kill me!
Will you help me or not?
唐: One hour? Well, since you are my brother,
l will write your lament for your funeral.
Say, 'A bastard' or 'A scumbag', which one do you like?
Choose between these two.
祝: Pak Fu, don't be that mean to me.
l swear if l gamble again, let me marry with the worst woman, ls it OK?
唐: You made such worst oath!
