A Play For The Chinese Theatre
Are you running away from China, Hsi?
Where should I put these flowers, Wong? The guns
are in the vase.
Put them here. No. Put them here. No. Not there. Here.
No Hsi. Here. Here Hsi. No. Not here. Here no Here no
Here Hsi.
Wong, these flowers are for you.
For me? For me? No. Not for me. Not for me no. No
Hsi. No. Not for me. Thank you, Hsi. Bless you, Hsi.
May God bless you, Hsi. He has blessed you Hsi. He
bless you again Hsi.
It is nothing, Wong. When one friend needs another
a vase is any good as other, as Lin Yee said.
Did Lin Yee say so? Did he? No Hsi he did not. He
could not Hsi. Did he? Did he Hsi? Did he? He did
he did Hsi. How good that he did Hsi. How happy I
am Hsi. He did Hsi. How happy that he did Hsi.
Yes, I agree. Now quickly, get behind the rock and
start calling Lee.
Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee!
Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee! Lee!
