Ip Man 2 (葉問2)

Thanks to his friend Zhou, the wounded Ip Man and his wife

escaped from his occupied hometown of Foshan.

-Hong Kong, 1950 -Here we are, Brother Ip.

Sorry for all the hassle.

Not at all. We're from the same village.

It's only been empty for a few months.

I talked to the neighbors. They're very nice.

Thanks so much, Kan.

Let's see if it's suitable for your martial arts club.

It's pretty spacious. Is it big enough?

Oh, yes.

It's very spacious.

Day 8

Master Ip.

You haven't recruited any pupils today?

What's the matter, Auntie?

You've got so much space.

Can I dry my clothes here?

Please go ahead.

Wing Sing!

I told you to leave the heavy stuff to me!

You're pregnant! You shouldn't do that!

There'd be no more water if I'd waited for you.

Next time I'll come sooner, all right?

I told you not to exhaust yourself.

Are you all right? Feeling better?

Mom, I need to pay my school fees in two days.

Wait.

Who is it?

Time to pay your rent! Mr. Ip! Mrs. Ip!

I don't have the cash. Don't open the door!

Mr. Ip! Mrs. Ip!

Day 9

No pupils yet today, Master Ip?

I'll dry my clothes then.

Auntie.

Let me help you.

You help me?

It's no big deal.

Thanks.

Hello!

You teach Wing Chun?

Master! Someone wants to learn martial arts!

You want to learn martial arts?

Maybe. Just checking it out.

I don't know what Wing Chun is.

Let me give you an introduction.

As a matter of fact, Wing Chun...

is a close combat style from the South...

No need to tell me all this.

Let's just fight. I'll pay you school fees if I lose.

OK.

I'm Ip Man of Wing Chun.

So?

You haven't beaten me yet.

Are you ready to accept defeat?

Ready for what?

I've no idea what you're doing.

Do you have an idea now?

Master Ip, I never knew you were so good!

Incredible!

Young man, hurry and accept him as your master!

You can pay me the school fees now, right?

Why are you leaving, young man?

What to do now, Master Ip?

You finally get a potential pupil,

and now he's gone!

That's him.

Can this old man be any good at martial arts?

Are you kidding me?

He looks totally harmless.

He actually resembles a laundry man.

You're not really here to learn martial arts.

Go away!

OK! We're challenging you to a fight!

No need to take those off.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

"Asking Hand."

I told you not to take your clothes off.

Master!

Please accept me, Wong Leung, as your pupil!

In that case...

Master!

I'm Tsui Sai-cheung.

- Ngai Kwok-hing. - Wong Kwun.

Please accept us as your pupils!

I'm his first pupil. You call me Big Bro.

Pour some tea for the Master.

Forget the ceremony!

Pay your school fees first.

Pay your school fees first.

Wing Chun combines defense and attack.

You attack and fight

to beat your opponent as quickly as possible.

Look! This is "Dispersing Hand."

"Dispersing Hand."

Simultaneous defense and attack.

Got it?

Who is Master Ip?

Master!

Master!

Leung! Did you get them to come?

Master, can you beat ten men at the same time?

It's better not to fight.

Continue your practice.

But what if ten men come with weapons?

Run.

You should collect school fees from them.

I know.

You always say that.

I'll collect from them later.

Everyone, stop for a minute.

What's the matter?

Master.

It's time to pay your school fees.

What is it?

Time to pay your school fees.

Whoever has cash can pay me first.

Master...

Master...

Master, I can only pay 2 dollars today.

My mom is... short of cash.

I'll pay the rest next time.

Next time, then...

Master, I don't have enough.

Next time, then!

Go home and eat!

Thank you, Master!

There's so little! What should we do?

I can't help it.

You know the economy is bad.

When my pupils ask me to help out,

as their master, I can only agree.

We'd better ask the landlady to give us more time.

Sure, ask her for more time.

I accommodate you, you accommodate me.

Everything will be ok.

Excuse me, two pieces of cake, please.

You want an egg tart?

No thanks.

Don't run!

Stop!

Don't run!

Stop!

You dare to steal a roast duck?

You asshole!

Stop eating! Give it back to me!

Stop beating him...

Pay up!

I don't have the money.

I'll call the cops if you don't pay up.

No, please let him go.

Give me! No!

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop beating him! What's the matter?

He stole our roast duck!

I'll pay for it!

- Give it back! - I'll pay for it.

Let's go.

Quan?

Uncle Man, I know where he's going.

Take me to him!

He's here.

Quan.

He doesn't remember you, Uncle Man.

The Japanese put a bullet in his head.

He can't recognize who you are.

Quan.

Quan, I'm Ip Man.

Quan?

- Scram, you Jap! - Quan...

- Scram, you Jap! Scram! - Quan, I'm Ip Man!

Scram! Scram!

Let's go, Uncle Man.

This is my fault.

- It's not your fault, Uncle Man. - It's my fault.

Let's go.

He'd rather be homeless than come with me.

So I stay here to keep him company.

When I can find some work at a restaurant,

I bring him leftovers to eat.

Otherwise, he would go hungry.

Don't worry, Yau.

We'll take care of your dad together.

I'll employ anyone recommended by Ip.

If you'll write for me for half normal wages,

you can start right away.

No problem.

Sit. I'll find someone to give you some work.

Please stay, Ip.

Let's have some tea.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Take a seat.

All right.

Thank you, Uncle Man.

You'd better work hard, Yau!

I will.
