Old Man Zhang has commissioned
you to hire an opera troupe.
:31:06
I truly congratulate you.
:31:10
With your patronage, the children
will have new clothes to wear.
:31:17
Good opera, however,
is not so simple.

When he was a palace eunuch. . .
:31:23
Old Man Zhang attended operas
with the Empress Dowager herself.
:31:30
I could lose a lot of respect.
But that's nothing.
:31:34
You realize that if the performance
doesn't make the grade...
:31:41
This kids got something.
:31:43
How long he's been in training?
:31:44
Douzi, come here
:31:47
and pay your respects.
:32:04
he's got
a nice little figure too.
:32:07
Can you sing any
old-style operas?
:32:09
Yes, two.

Fleeing by Night is for male and
outside the Nunnery is for female...
:32:16
Let's hear a bit of the last.
:32:20
At sixteen I am a nun. . .
:32:24
my hair shorn
at youths prime.
:32:29
Yet I am by nature a boy,
:32:32
not a girl...
:32:36
Why-
:32:42
Mr. Na, I am terribly sorry!
:32:45
he's usually very good.
:32:50
Master Guan,
I'll see you some other time.
:32:59
Open your mouth. open it!
