Duel in the Desert (Nu ma fei sha)

|| Adil Qatine||

he left early this morning

what do you want with him ?

recently he asked me to make him upset

some medicine

but there's nothing wrong with him he

doesn't need medicine i can't see

don't tell anybody but i know you'll

keep a secret

the medicine is for his horse it's for

his horse

yeah if you feed it to a horse it'll run

like blazes

i've been testing it out for a year now

it really works

but that's resorting to tricks it makes

it so unfair

changi better not breathe away to this

to a soul

i promised him i would tell nobody

you needn't be so afraid of him

master

how's everything going almost ready

dad do you think even more people are

gonna come this year

when have i ever been wrong before

the race is held once every five years

the winner gets

500 gold tales you'll see soon enough

they'll come they can't afford to miss

this race

well brother come is he going to race

of course he'll come but he's no chance

that's hotel in town nice clean rooms

excellent service

meals included and all the wine just 50

cents a day

what's that too expensive lady

don't care much for food just eat rice

but my horse here needs care

don't worry mister a full bed of straw

all the oats

you can eat i assume you've come for the

race

your horse will be in capable hands

all right

mister where are you from

far away

come this way yeah

i didn't hear you tell me that horse

outside the striking chestnut

where's it from i guess just came in

a guest ever seen it before why ask all

these questions you never showed

interest before

don't you realize that that's a

racehorse and what a racehorse you know

that

i don't know i didn't think you'd know a

racehorse is kept solely for racing

you understand now why do you have to

tell me all this

you're impossible to talk sense to you

don't think do you so tell me which room

is he in

that's a power he took him upstairs

anything else chanchi don't be so

antagonistic to watch me i'm your

brother

if you keep that silly attitude i'll

take a belt here

uh uh i'm char chang my father is this

hotel may i ask who you are

there's a cause my name's han jang said

what can i do for you mr hank i was

taking a look at your horse

what do you think it's great a fine

animal this is horse breeding country

around here

but never have i seen one like yours huh

from the way you talk you sound like a

bloodstock expert

thank you mister i do like horses

actually i've been around horses for

more than 10 years

i still don't know what goes on in their

minds sometimes

i think horses behave just like women

sometimes they're gentle

other times as bad as a tiger if they're

in a good mood

don't run like hell if they're in a bad

mood they won't move an inch

you see mister you know something about

them

must say i'm very happy to have run into

you like this i love talking horses

come on let me buy you a drink you want

me no no you're the stranger i should

buy you a drink

always buy gas drinks you'll never make

any money

friend of yours

be disappointed in
