:33:02
Sorry. I should go now.
:33:06
Let's keep in touch.
:33:34
Please think about it some more,
Master Chu.
:33:37
The restaurant really needs your presence.
:33:40
With so many good young chefs,
you can easily find someone.
:33:44
But none with the expertise
in the art of Chinese cuisine like you.
:33:48
Just your presence there would be
a living, treasured cookbook.
:33:53
Do I just stand in the kitchen
until I rest in peace, like Old Wen?
:33:57
It's been said,
"People die for money. Birds die for food."
:34:01
To die for money is a man's business...
:34:04
...but to die for food?
That's for the birds. Is it worth it?
:34:08
There's truth to the saying. But your life
has been devoted to the art of cooking.
:34:12
What a pity to just let it go.
:34:14
People today are so insensitive.
:34:17
They can't appreciate
the art of exquisite dining.
:34:20
Chinese cuisine has traveled
to Taiwan for 40 years.
:34:23
And just like the rivers
that eventually flow into the sea...
:34:28
...it's all the same in the end.
:34:30
Even a mess of slop can pass for
"Joy Luck Dragon Phoenix."
:34:34
What more can I say?
:34:36
What is "pity"?
:34:39
Only when a heart feels dissatisfied
can it feel pity.
:34:43
Fortunately, I don't plan on wasting
my whole life on this stuff.
:34:49
Miss Chu.
:34:51
Please help me to convince your father
not to retire.
:34:54
Dad, you plan on retiring?
:34:58
It's his own business.
He can make his own decision.
