...and we'll eat three times a day.
2:08:06
You're not feeling
sorry for me, are you?

2:08:10
-No one feels sorry for you, Basie.
-That's right.

2:08:16
-And you always eat first.
-You said it, kid.

2:08:23
l've been thinking about
going upriver.

2:08:27
l know.
2:08:31
Listen--
2:08:33
The plan is,
we're going to get a sampan.

2:08:39
Take it up the Yangtze estuary.
Rendezvous with some Hakka friends.

2:08:45
Are they proper pirates, you mean?
2:08:48
Let's just call them gentlemen
of fortune, shall we?

2:08:58
Did you ever see...
2:09:00
-...the Hell Drivers in Shanghai?
-Yes. On the news reels.

2:09:05
l saw them crash
through a burning wall.

2:09:09
That's what l'm going to call
our little outfit.

2:09:14
With 250 calibers...
2:09:16
...we are going to be
the lords of the Yangtze.

2:09:21
Actually, that may be a better name.
2:09:25
lt's at the beginning and end of war
that we have to watch out.

2:09:30
ln between, it's like a country club.
2:09:35
But you gotta know how to stay
balanced and make the right friends.

2:09:41
Because this war
is definitely winding down.

2:09:46
And after that?
2:09:48
After that...
2:09:51
...l retire in luxury,
start a barber college....
