Referee Tommy (roars and blows whistle): Offside!
(Crowd jeers)
(Qiu Da Furious and pushes the people beside him roughly)
(Brad Pitt has a look of realization on his face)
(English-supporting gamblers cheer while chinese-supporting gamblers wail bitterly)
Sure-win James smiles bitterly and begins a monologue:
A long long time ago (dramatic pause)
While I was in China with my mother,
As the days passed, she grew paler and weaker, paler and weaker (softer)
One night, while I was in bed,
I heard some choking sounds and rushed to her bed. (dramatic pause)
Shocked and worried, I rushed her to the nearest clinic
Where an old physician and his only son lived
I begged him to treat my mother to his best
He agreed and promised, “I will try my best”.
The physician turned to his young son, Qiu Da, and told him, “Qiu Da, go to bed.”
But in the end, it turned out all wrong (very wrong)
The next morning, I visited my mother,
Only to find her blank, lifeless eyes staring at me
And at that moment, something in me snapped
“What happened?” I asked the doctor in a grim tone
The doctor pointed at a few empty tablet bottles and shook his head
The young son appeared again and this time I stared at him with accusatory eyes
“You will pay for this.” I said before walking off.
