Wake up!
Let's go!
Who's that?
You bastard! Don't you ever come out again!
Fighting with your wife again?
I didn't come home last night!
Then you asked for it!
Do you think I want this?
My girlfriend threatened to kill herself if I didn't stay!
It was a matter of life and death! What was I supposed to do?
What's a married man like you doing with a girlfriend?
We Italians are a people of love.
We can't live without it.
All Chinese want to do is work. You wouldn't understand.
We do understand. We're just a bit more selective.
We have to go to work. What are you going to do?
I can't go out! My wife will kill me!
Then move aside and let us go.
She'll kill you both too!
We'll leave from the balcony. You have fun hiding here!
What about the Spaniard downstairs?
Don't worry. Watch me!
Hey, I'll go first!
Hello...
Are you all right?
Don't you Chinese know how to use the stairs?
The Italian couple is fighting on the stairway!
Come on.
Why did you signal me to jump?
I signaled you NOT to jump!
You should've said so! I was about to...
What did you say?
But you already jumped!
Private Investigator Matt?
Freeze!
Boss!
What on earth are you doing?
Nothing...I was just exercising...
Why didn't you get the light fixed?
The light is fine. It's the power that's been cut.
When the electric company owes you, they take forever to pay you back.
But they sure are efficient, when you owe them!
What about me... no pay for three months and I still come to work everyday!
What are you trying to say?
If it weren't for me,
you wouldn't have a job at all!
Without a job, what right do you have to stay in Spain?
That's true.
But if I had some money, I could have paid the electric bill for you.
Now you're talking!
Anybody come for me?
Just some guys from the phone company.
What business do they have with me?
None. They just came to take the phone away.
That explains why it's so quiet here.
Oh, a bald guy named Alfonso also came looking for you.
Did he come alone?
No, he was with two huge muscle men.
What did he want?
He said you promised to settle
a gambling debt of 100,000 pesetas yesterday.
Right... That was our secret code.
That means he has a new lead on a case.
He asked when you'd be back.
The next time he comes, tell him I'm out of town on business.
That's another coded message meaning...
You better tell him the coded message yourself.
Why?
He said he'd be back at noon.
Which is about now.
What? Why didn't you tell me earlier!
What's the big deal? Is that another coded message?
Exactly. It's practically a matter of life and death!
Meaning I have to find a place to hide now!
As of this minute,
you are the Acting Chairman of this agency.
You are in charge when I'm not around.
That is a promotion, isn't it?
Then what about a raise...?
It's hopeless!
Acting Chairman... is still a Chairman.
Better put on a tie.
Please have a seat. Before you ask me to take your case,
please listen to my principles of business.
Murder and arson, I do not do. Burglary and theft, I do not do,
because I don't have the guts to do.
Now you may tell me what I can do for you.
I'd like for you to find someone for me.
Finding a missing person? I've never...
You have not done that before?
I've never failed in locating a person before!
I didn't know you were...
Chinese? That's right, descendant of the Dragon!
I won't take up too much of your time.
I want you to help me find a woman.
Named Gloria and her children.
A boy and a girl?
No. There's actually only one child.
Then is it a boy or a girl?
That you'll have to find out for yourself.
Here's some information on Gloria.
The information is incomplete,
and the picture was taken 22 years ago.
That's a tough assignment.
I'd do it myself if it were easy.
Should you decide to take my case.
You must abide by two conditions.
I have a condition too. But let's hear yours first.
First, this case must be kept confidential.
Second, you must find this child for me within 14 days.
Here is some money for your expenses.
You'll get US$20,000 more if you deliver.
Now you can tell me your condition.
My condition is I accept all your conditions.
That's perfect. You may reach me at this number.
Trying to test me?
What are you doing?
My liquid preserver is better than any lamination.
Then I'll wait for your good news.
Let's get to work.
Here, go get us some business!
Hey, Chinese boy, a Coke please. Okay.
What would you like? Coffee with cream.
Coffee with cream, coming right up.
Something to eat? No.
Something to eat, Boss?
A cup of 22, and a box of 16.
Right away.
Would you like something to drink, Picasso?
Coca Cola. Coca Cola.
Here are the orders.
Okay.
Beautiful day... Beautiful business.
Beautiful rice! That's a bit too much.
Nunchukas! Here's yours.
And yours.
Delivery.
Lady Boss, this is yours. Thank you.
Hey, what's going on?
Look at all the dust and fumes! We can't eat here! Let's go.
Hey! Hey! How am I going to do business like this?
We were incredible!
Hey, can you guys go elsewhere?
What's it to you?
You're ruining my business!
Why don't you go elsewhere yourself, kiddo!
What? What are you going to do about it?
Let's have a race right in this square.
The loser picks up the tab for tonight.
Good! I'll be the referee. Ready. Go!
Move if you know what's good for you!
Faster... Faster!
Hey, where are all our customers?
All scared away by the Hell's Angels.
I'll ask them to leave.
Save your breath. I've already tried.
Pack up and move the car.
Why?
We're going to play Robin Hood!
Faster...
My mother told me not to fight.
Did your mother tell you not to mess around here?
Yes, but it slipped my mind. I'm going home right now.
I won't fight you two. I'm leaving.
Morning. Morning.
May I see your pass?
Goodbye. Goodbye.
When will your father be out of the hospital?
You think he has hemorrhoids?
He's mentally ill. God knows when he'll be out.
Oh no! A flat tire!
Don't worry. We have a spare.
Who said I was worried? I just said "Oh no!"
Then you shouldn't have said that!
What should I say then?
You should say, "Ha! Ha! A flat tire!"
What normal person would say that?
Ha! Ha! A flat tire!
You're right! Normal person would not say that!
Let's change the tire.
No. What do you need a magnet for?
Then I can tie a string around it.
Why would you want to tie a string around a magnet?
So I can lower the magnet into the gutter.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
Then why would you want to lower a magnet into the gutter?
To get the nuts back.
What do you need the nuts for?
You mean the nuts for that?
You are smart.
How do we get the nuts out? Unless we have a magnet.
There you go.
Then we're stuck.
I didn't know people with no brains
can survive in this world!
Yes, a little rusty maybe, but better than yours.
So what!
You can take one nut out of each of the three remaining tires.
Then you'll have a total of three nuts.
Use the three nuts on the loose tire and drive slowly back to town.
