:20:01
Your grandma ran off on me...
:20:06
thirty years ago.
:20:08
l was too poor for her.
:20:11
She left me and our baby boy.
:20:15
l was mother and father to him.
:20:21
Changed his diapers,
watched him grow.

:20:25
When he was ten,
he got sick and died.

:20:34
lf he were alive today...
:20:38
he'd be 31.
:20:41
Grandpa's had a tough life.
:20:46
l've got no one left
:20:52
l'm lonely and bereft
:21:00
Doggie.
:21:02
l'm an old man.
l'll die one day.

:21:07
Don't die!
What'll l do if you die, Grandpa?

:21:12
l don't want to die.
:21:15
But it's not up to us.
:21:18
l've been afraid no one
will carry on the family line...

:21:25
and that my art will die with me.
:21:30
Be a good boy and work hard...
:21:34
and l'll give you my love...
:21:37
and my art.
:21:40
Do you understand?
:21:42
l want to learn
''change-face'' opera, Grandpa.

:21:44
Good! And l will teach it to you...
:21:48
and only you.
:21:51
lt's a family heirloom,
not for outsiders.

:21:57
And not for girls.
