Young People (1972) - full transcript

Inthe real performance...

if we get such a measly applause,
it'd be so bad!

Ok, stop clapping

She is our loyal audience

Do you like music?

You are not our team member

Please don't disturb us

I want to join your team

Look, your hair is longer than boys

Of course it should be

Look at you, so pathetic!



What can you do?

The word around is that...

every student in this school can join

That's right, but you forgot that

... everyone who wants to join

should pass the test

Test?

Yes, the test comprises of three parts

Don't get scared, that's easy

First, you can choose singing or dancing

I sing

Yesterday a child came out to wonder,

What a silly girl!

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar.



Fearful when the sky was full of thunder;,

and tearful at the falling of a star.

And the seasons, they go round and round.

And the painted ponies go up and down.

We're captives on the carousel of time.

We can't return,

we can only look behind
from where we came

and go round and round in the circle game.

Then the child moved 1 0 times
round the seasons,

skated over ten clear frozen streams.

Words like when you're older,
must appease him.

And promises of someday make his dreams.

and the seasons, they go round and round.

And the painted ponies go up and down.

We're captive on the carousel of time.

we can't return,

we can only look behind
from where we came

and go round and round and round
in the circle game.

Sixteen spring and
sixteen summer gone now,

Cartwheels turn to cartwheels
through the town.

And they tell him take your time

it won't be long now,

And drag your feet
to slow the circle down.

and the seasons, they go round and round.

And the painted ponies go up and down.

we're captive on the carousel of time.

we can't return,

we can only look behind
from where we came

and go round and round in the circle game.

So the Years spin by and
now the boy is twenty,

Though his dreams...

have lost some grandeur coming true.

There'd be new dreams

may be better dreams and plenty.

before the last revolving year is through.

and the seasons, they go round and round.

And the painted ponies go up and down.

we're captive on the carousel of time.

we can't return,

we can only look behind
from where we came

and go round and round and round
in the circle game.

and go round and round and round
in the circle game.

That's good

Look at her

She doesn't seem to know singing

Hey, then you seem to sing very well

Perhaps you sing

Are you kidding?
I've passed the test already

I wonder how you passed the test

Please don't mention

In the second part, you should...

Don't baffle her, Gou

Try this. You smoke

... and exhale from nose

No way

Okay

Okay, you passed the second part

As to the third part

Gou...

Yes

Why are you standing there?

Ask the captain to apologise to me

Don't provoke them, Gou

Their ball hit someone

Of course they need to say sorry, I'll go

That's right

They are...

Lam Tat

Where's my ball?

Lam Tat

You broke the windows in the hall

The ball went so far

I think

I am as good as Coach Wong

Coach Wong...

Who is the captain of the ball team?

Me

Your ball hit a classmate
who is practising dancing

You are captain

You should apologise to him

Apologise to someone
who only knows singing or dancing?

Forget it

You... you don't apologise

A good hit

Look

You hurt my face

You should evade when you see the ball

You are the member of Music & Dance Club

... you'd better use this pose

You should apologise immediately, Lam Tat

What can you do if I don't do so?

Forget it

Okay, you count me as failing the third

Lam Tat

Coach Wong

I think you need to apologise

Me?

You, as an athlete should know

Being Gentle is far more important
than having skills

Okay...

Gou

It's my fault, sorry

In fact I didn't use all my energy
to hit the ball

Who knew you were so weak!

Hey, you leave first

otherwise we'll hurt you again

Bye-bye

Let's go, Gou

Come on...

Hello

Hi

Frail limbs

Looks good

Boot boy

Who are you scolding?

You

I'm not as shortsighted as you

How come you, an undergraduate,

Iike playing this outdated toy

I think you will become bullet proof

Chinese kung fu helps improve our health

What's wrong with this?

Good, that's good

How do you practise that "steel body"?

Is the weak point here?

You see, the weak point is untouchable

You'll have
the basketball competition tomorrow

... otherwise I will not let you go

Bullshit

Look at Ho Tai

Everytime he only speaks two words

But that's enough

He is Ho Tai?

You want to fight?

Fight

Forget it, Lam Tat

Save your strength for the competition

Understand?

We will vie for honor to the school

Not you

Forget it...

Okay...

Lam Tat, look at the princess

She seems fascinated by you

Don't guess

Princess is Ho Tai's girlfriend

Ho Tai only speaks two words

How can they have a heart-to-heart chat

Like this

Love you

Kiss me

Can you ask Ho Tai

... to say three words?

That's easy

Okay, if you can do it...

I will pay for
all the entertainment tomorrow

If not, you pay

Okay, deal

Deal

The gang of Lam Tat is too rude

Boot boy

They are bastards

Bastard

Bas...

tard...

You lost?

You can't escape

See you tomorrow...

Bye-bye

You live here

Bye-bye

You want to talk to me?

Lo

I have something to do, you take her home

Bye-bye

Your leg is sprained, Lam Tat

Ho Tai can manage it

He is a Chinese orthopaedist

I don't need his help

you'd be bed-ridden for at least a week

Okay

Hi

Hi

You are the modern Romeo

Watch out, Ho Tai may trouble you

Wasn't again me grabbing his girlfriend!

Princess wants to stay with me

Hi...

Hello...

Get into the car

All of you

Come on

Rest

Trained for two hours

You can endure it, Ho Tai

but we can't

You are great

We are...

no use!

I suppose you will say "not good enough"

Not yet give up?

Let's see

I can make him
speak out three words someday

Why don't you practise dancing, Gou?

Thought I'd come & have a look

The Youth Chinese Kung Fu Competition
will...

be held next month, what did you prepare?

Can't you see?

We are totally covered in sweat

What?

You want to join us?

No way

Get up

Let's go

Yes

Let's dance

Once again

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand

and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know wherever I am

I'll come running,

to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall,

all you have to do is call

and I'll be there,

You've got a friend.

If the sky above you

should turn dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind

should begin to blow

Keep your head together

and call my name out loud

and soon I will be knocking at your door.

You just call out my name

and you know where ever I am

I'll come running...
just to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

all you got to do is call

and I'll be there,

Ain't it good to know...

that you've got a friend?

And people can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you.

Well they'll take your soul
if you let them.

Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name

and you know wherever I am

I'll come running...
just to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall,

all you've to do is call.

And I'll be there,

You've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Love is something
what the world should have

It's the only thing
people've just too little of

Love is something that
the world should have

Nothing is the same...

After love is gone!

Lonely waves can't bounce
to the moonbeam...

Didn't sing too well?

No, it's really great

What's the matter, Gou?

Lam Tat got the 1 st prize
in the basketball competition

and the Chinese Kung Fu Competition
is up next month

Once again Ho Tai could be the winner

but we'd end up with nothing

What do you want?

I...

I want to join the Chinese kung fu team

Don't worry

They will not let you in

Yes, they don't want me

Hung Wai

We are always bullied by others

Don't you think so?

Yes...

Didn't you listen to the song
a while back?

What the world needs is love

... not fight!

Practising Chinese kung fu
is not only for fighting

Okay

Boys, please follow me

I wanna show you something

And the girls would remain here
to practise

Okay, follow me

Are you a boy?

Where do we go, Hung Wai?

My home

Can't Po-erh go there too?

You want to stay with her

... or come with us?

Well, who needs you?

You go with them

You're the temporary incharge of
the Music Team

... as we have other things to do

Look, Lei He and Jin Fei

follow him everyday

You wouldn't like such girls, would ya?

Why not?

Be careful

Lam Tat, it's not a big deal with a car

Why don't you buy one?

Hello

How's Lam Tat's car, Ho Tai?

Very expensive

You know this is one hell of a car!

Monster

Lam Tat

Coach Wong

Coach Wong

Good

Come on, I want to talk to you

Coach Wong...

Good...

If Ho Tai was not there that day

You'd be unable to participate
in the competition

However, I didn't hear that...

he told anyone about this

He is a quack doctor

not having real medical skill

Reckon that counts for nothing

You are wrong

Chinese kung fu is long and lasting

Its value is undeniable

Come on

Nice place, Hung Wai

Have you ever placed a signboard here?

What was your family business?

Day nursery

You ask us here
to take care of the children

Nobody at home in the morning

I don't have key. Let's climb over

Alright, go ahead

Quick, be careful of the pillar

If a cop were to pass by...

I don't think you would laugh so loudly

What is this?

For day nursery

Childrens' toy of course

Go

Why is your home like this, Hung Wai?

Hung Wai said it was a day nursery

Are these swings for the children?

Oh my God!

How can you tell me
this is a day nursery?

Follow me

Come on

Come on, beat me up

Really?

You first

We go together

Come on...

Let's go

Come on, Gou

Stop

How can you call this a day nursery?

Those who come here must be little spiders

They are so smart

still have another one

Let's practise

What's the matter, Hung Wai?

My father is a master of martial arts

and he launched
the "Plum Blossom Pugilism"

At first this used to be
a famous martial arts school

Your father is the very famous
Hung Wing Yan

An old hero

What are you doing?

Taking action film?

I've heard it before

Why don't you ever tell us, Hung Wai?

You know kung fu?

It's not worth a mention

In memory of my father

I keep all this stuff

Gou envies Ho Tai and Lam Tat

We can practise

Okay, practise together

Come on, practise

Come on...

You are wrong, Gou

Channel all your energies to your fist

and then hit; like this

Practise makes perfect

We'd do well to start with the basics

From now on...

we'll always come here to practise

Good idea...okay...

Okay, we'll come here everyday

Yes...

How's the practice going these days?

Not good

Everytime I practise alone

Hung Wai never comes

However, I always accompany you here

Remember, Hung Wai is the captain

You like Hung Wai, Po-erh?

I like everyone

Will there be someone special?

Yes

Who?

Not anyone

but singing

Playing "Plum Blossom Pugilism",
always stay calm but

when you move,
you have to act 5 movements at once

... and every movement with power

Look

Good...

I understand

You can easily cope with
five guys at least

This pugilism helps train
your physical flexibility

... and your prompt judgement

Look at the pattern how the bag moves

There isn't any rule, right!

Make the right decision

... and then fight it back;

Or you will be knocked out!

This theory is applicable to everything

Gou, you try

Try

Me?

Just try, Gou

Okay

Again

No... I can't do that

Again

No, no way

What do you feel, Gou?

Let me finish it first

Okay...

Come on, folks

I am nearly starved to death

I met Lam Tat yesterday

Princess was with him all the time

If Ho Tai wins the Martial Art Competition

will Princess follow him all day?

I think Princess will follow everyone

... except Gou

No necessarily so

Princess doesn't follow Gou

but Gou can follow Princess

What are you doing?

Stop arguing

Carry on your practice after lunch

Okay...

Oh no!

Look

Ho Tai must be visualizing...

the scene that he has got the first prize

Still a long way to go!

The qualifying match will go on
for 1 2 days and...

then got to the finals of
the knockout competition

Ho Tai has to pass more than ten rounds

He'll certainly be able to manage it

Good...

Good

Hurray...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

6, 7, 8, 9, 1 0

No. 47 competitor Ho Tai
defeated the opponent

winning the first round

and got to the second round of the match

Good...

The no.47 competitor Ho Tai

got to the third round of the match

The no.47 competitor Ho Tai

got to the forth round of the match

Ho Tai got to the last round of the match

Good...

Hung Wai, Hung Wai

Brother

Did you have dinner at home everyday
this month?

No

I only invited my friends
to have some snacks

You see

The receipt from Master Mark

Two hundred and eight pounds of bread

Thirty-six pounds of ham

Seven boxes of beer

Your friends are gorillas?

Brother

Youngsters eat more

Apples, bananas, chocolates

Thirty-seven glasses

Twenty-six plates

They can eat these up?

All of them were broken

Good

I don't understand this

Nine pieces of lipstick,
nine boxes of compact

Nine bottles of perfume

They are for the girls

For the girls of course

Great

You can manage nine girls
at the same time?

Don't misunderstand me, brother

Those nine girls...

are the team members of
Music & Dance Club

We have other things to do this month

we were sort of afraid that
they will get angry

Hence we bought them presents

I am not able to have nine girlfriends

Okay

Then the boys stay here

and ate up more than 200 pounds of bread

... within one month?

Hung Wai, are you practising kung fu?

I always know you practise on your own

I won't stop you

because you know how father died

Now you practise with your classmates

To be frank, I object it

Relax, brother

We are only training
our physical flexibility

It ain't for fighting!

We are all good students

You claim that

200 pounds of bread,
nine bottles of perfume

You boy

Can you stop, Lam Tat?

I want to talk to you

No way

Could you please stop

I want to talk to you

Can't you talk while running?

Princess

Your boyfriend
is the captain of basketball team

You should follow him...

even if he climbs down the side of a cliff

... understand?

Awful!

You scare me

Come on

You'll have the competition tonight?

That's right

Our coach will be there to witness...

so try your best

Don't let your competitor hit you

Shit

Look, you lose your cool so easily!

How could you be a master of kung fu

The first prize silver shield
is very big, Ho Tai

If you are the winner

I...

What do you want?

I can do anything I like

It's none of your business

If Ho Tai gets the first prize...

Princess must come
and stay with him again

Although Ho Tai didn't say out a word

we all know that he was deeply hurt

Damn you!

Still two words

Everybody

The Youth Martial Arts Competition

is going to the final stage today

and today the winner will be announced

The two competitors...

also have 24 times of
pre-competition experience

They defeated 24 competitors

On my right... is the no.1 6 competitor

Cheung Wai Shing

My left-hand side is the no.47 competitor

Ho Tai

Attaboy, Ho Tai

Ho Tai, hurray

Hung Wai

What do you think? Will Ho Tai win?

It seems that you won't have...

the chance to touch the silver shield

He is far worse than what I thought!

Ho Tai is too nervous

I dare not watch it

Then you go home
and take care of the children

Hung Wai's family
are used to run a day nursery

One, two, three

You are wrong

His family is not running a day nursery

... but a massage parlour

And your home is a public bath

Hip, hip, hurray

Ho Tai, cheer up

You stepped on my foot

I'm just afraid
I mightn't step on your tail

You...

Bravo...

One, two, three, four, five

six, seven, eight, nine, ten

Bravo

No. 47 Ho Tai has emerged the winner

No. 47 Ho Tai

No. 47 Ho Tai is the winner

Take it easy,
"failure is the mother of success"

One, two, three, four, five

Let's take a break

Okay

Who has gone crazy up there?

Not crazy but missing someone

Who uttered those dirty words?

Me, so what?

It's not a big deal to be the champion

If I had entered this competition

... you might not be the winner

You know martial arts?

Why not?

I am Chinese, right?

So I know kung fu

I create my own, called "Lam's clan"

What?

You beat me

How dare you not to give way?

You beat me but don't say sorry, boot boy

Homeboy

Don't fight, you two

Stop...

Fight

Help, they are fighting

Oh no!

Help, they are fighting

Quick, they're fighting!

Oh no!

Ho Tai and Lam Tat

they're fighting in the backyard

For you?

That's not worth

Damn you

Cut that crap...

and stop them

Quick...just outside

Stop fighting

Let's stop them

Okay

Don't fight

Let me go

I want to beat him up

Give way

Hung Wai, you can't beat him, let's go

We are all classmates

even if we have different opinions

we should not fight

Wouldn't you go?

If not, I'll beat you

I advise you not to do that

but if you want to

I won't object it

Damn it, shit!

Good, well done, Hung Wai

Hung Wai, come on

You both don't have to fight

You have to work together

Forgot it, that's enough

If he didn't stop us...

you would've been badly hurt

You bet

Okay, be friends

We are friends

Who wanna be friends with the hommie?

Boot boy, you...

Fight again next time

Scared of you?

I hurt you badly

Quite bad

And you hurt me badly too

Hurt badly

Oh man, can't you say more than 2 words?

No way

Ho Tai, Lam Tat

Never fight again

What's wrong with you?

You're still obsessed

Look

Why not fight?

Go...

The race begins the day after tomorrow

And also it's
the school anniversary celebrations

Would be damn good
if I was to win the car race!

Very difficult

Why?

You see

You mean those two guys?

That's right

The taller one is Wong Pui,
the winner of...

International Car Racing Competition
last year

and the shorter one is Johnny Lau

a skillful racing driver from Singapore

If one of us...

wins the competition,
that will be so good

Very difficult

Can you say something good?

No way

In the school anniversary celebrations

... we will perform a dance number

Hope you will join us

We?

We can't dance

We will teach you

until you're perfect

I will ask them to join too

You just say yes or no?

What do you think?

Okay

Ho Tai say yes

What can I say?

Okay, I'll go and inform them

I think we owe Hung Wai a lot

On the day of car racing competition

... we need to help him win

That's right

I'll guard Wong Pui
and you guard Johnny Lau

Then Hung Wai may have the chance to win

That's good

Deal

The annual Hong Kong Youth...

Ho Tai

You are wonderful

Three words

Ho Tai spoke out three words!

Help...

It's funny

Come in

Hi

Hi

The school anniversary celebrations
have begun

Princess, would you be my partner?

Love is something
what the world should have

It's the only thing
people've just too little of

Love is something
what the world should have

Nothing is the same...

After love is gone!

Lonely waves can't bounce
to the moonbeams

And the mountains and the hillsides

On which to climb

And the oceans have rivers...

To give the source they will endure

Till the end of time

Love is something that
the world should have

It's the only thing
people've just too little of

Love is something
what the world should have

Nothing is the same...

After love is gone!

Look, the people chase golden rainbows

Through the cornfields

And the wheat fields where rivers go

Treasure sunbeams and moonbeams

Behind the vine around the field

That's a lovely view...!

Love is something
what the world should have

It's the only thing
people've just too little of

Love is something
what the world should have

Nothing is the same...

After Love...

... is gone!

Love is something
what the world should have...

Love is something what...

Yeah, superb...!
