:09:01
You misunderstand.
:09:03
l'm not trying to steal your secrets.
:09:10
Merchants form businesses,
we artists form troupes.
:09:12
Ropes aren't made
from single strands.
:09:16
Why not join my troupe?
Split the profits...
:09:20
and add some color
to our repertoire.
:09:23
That's like asking
two peaks to merge.
:09:29
l'm a loner...
:09:31
used to my solitary ways.
:09:35
Tell me, Old Master,
have you a disciple?
:09:45
lt's a terrible thought...
:09:47
but what if--
:09:49
l was to die without an heir?
:09:55
A minor matter...
:09:59
l'll carry to the grave.
:10:05
How callous of me!
:10:07
l've hurt your feelings.
:10:10
Old Master, we each decide
our own course.
:10:17
Generals never dismount,
but gallop on.
:10:21
Thank you, brother,
for your patronage.
:10:24
We're even now.
:10:28
l wouldn't dare presume.
:10:31
No one values girls.
:10:35
Even you'll only make
a boy your heir.
:10:40
As for me...
:10:42
l'm a minor character,
half a woman.
:10:48
l'm not worthy of being called
''brother'' by you.
:10:51
l've spoken out of place.
:10:55
We all have our own sorrows.
