It's lunchtime.
Why are you eating eggs?

1:03:08
If you can't finish your lunch,
I'll skin you alive.

1:03:19
Why are you sitting here?
1:03:20
Can't you go up
and look after your sister?

1:03:25
Hurry up!
1:03:37
Those have to be taken
to be repainted.

1:03:40
They haven't been used
in a long time.

1:03:43
These puppets aren't bad.
1:03:52
Take these 1 5 dollars.
1:03:56
I'll give you more later.
1:04:09
What's the name
of your new troupe?

1:04:15
I asked the storyteller Fu
to give us a name.

1:04:20
He chose the name,
"Also Like Life."

1:04:26
He explained...
1:04:28
puppets in performance
are like people...

1:04:31
so puppet plays
are "also like life."

1:04:34
So that's how
we got our name.

1:04:37
Storyteller Fu
is a real smart guy.

1:04:41
He passed the Imperial Examination
back in the Ching Dynasty.

1:04:45
In the past, you refused
to sell your puppets at any price.

1:04:49
Now you give them away. Why?
1:04:51
Shut up. What do you know?
1:04:57
If you were really capable,
you'd make them yourself...

1:04:59
and not have to come
scrounging all the time.
