secret weapons special brushes made from

the finest box fur in all of china

promising calligrapher in the country

you don't stand a chance really

well i have a couple of secret weapons

of my own

here we go again special

ink direct from the anway province

and we are going to win because

these are the most talented

calligraphers in the country

that's ridiculous we'll see who's

ridiculous

last one to the competition is a rotten

thousand-year-old egg

hold on tight

in keeping with the ancient rules of

this competition

i must impress upon you all the need for

dignity

decorum and above all at all times

for quiet

it had better not happen again oh

it won't that's a promise absolutely

guaranteed

you won't hear a peep from us good watch

out

[Music]

are you all right you'd better not try

any of your

tricks on me during the competition me

play tricks on you i would never dream

of doing such a thing

you on the other hand me

[Music]

where are the silly tricks i want to see

them

just concentrate on your writing that's

what matters most

today's practice is now over

the competition begins tomorrow

pardon me the rules say nothing about

cats but they do state that only one

calligrapher per household may compete

you must choose which cat is going to

represent you

hmm sagua's style has the most flare

i choose her

wow you're really really good

i love that one

[Applause]

can i have it really

isn't this writing wonderful yes

it's lovely your calligraphy gets more

beautiful

every day no papa you don't understand

i didn't do this it was one of the cats

one of the cats

i thought my old friend was playing one

of his tricks on me when he said his

calligraphers were

cats well

just because he didn't play a joke on me

doesn't mean i can't play

one on him

[Music]

i can't wait to see his face when he

sees what i've done to him

round one of the imperial calligraphy

competition

begins now

stay calm just do my best

even strokes

[Music]

look at that

[Music]

my special ink

it keeps vanishing but how

oh i think i know what happened here

when we were young boys

i once played the same trick on him

and now he played it on me

hmm i'm just going to have to think of

something even better

i hope you're not going to let things

get out of control

again well i can't just let him get away

with it

now can i ah you two are impossible

[Music]

wong this is a serious breach of the

rules

very serious indeed

[Music]

finest fox fur

wait till he sees these bristles in

action

[Music]

oh no what happened these came all the

way from shanghai

oh well i guess he got me

[Music]

i'm going to have to come up with

something extra good this time

leotron excuse me

do you know anything about this strange

ink

or the ink part which seems to come from

your own home

you seem like a responsible girl but

someone is breaking the rules and i

can't allow that

i'm sorry but you aren't disqualified

from competing

please leave now

why didn't liu chong say something it

was magistrate wong who switched the ink

not her

she would never dishonor her father

sagua but it wasn't her fault

it's not fair if you two hadn't played

these silly tricks on

each other liu chung wouldn't have been

thrown out of the competition

on the other hand it does more or less

help our chances of winning

fix it

where is that writing exercise i did

that luchon loved so much

that'll cheer her up oh no

i am sorry magistrate wong but your

daughter did not deny it

look imperial calligrapher the other

magistrate has sent his cat to play a

trick on me

i tell you he's behind all this

well now i am left with no choice

the cat is also disqualified

sagua disqualified oh

i must sit down oh i am sitting

then i must stand i'm afraid it's true

your magistrate

something about saguaro ruining

magistrate wong scrolls

now do you see your pranks are only

funny to the two of you

to everyone else they are trouble

now what was it i said before

oh yes fix it magistrate wong

you should know i was only trying to

play a trick on you

i never meant to get liu chong into

trouble

and i was only trying to play a trick on

you

sorry about your cat oh if everyone knew

what we'd done

we would be laughed at from here to

shanghai no dignitary would set foot in

our homes

our family names would be ruined but

none of that really

matters does it we must set it right at

once

hmm last one there is a rotten

thousand-year-old egg

calligraphers prepare your brushes

oh not you two again

it was all our fault our silly pranks

got out of hand

we weren't thinking of the consequences

these innocent scribes should not be

punished

they had nothing to do with it can't you

let liu chong and sagua compete

please reinstating wrongly disqualified

scribes has

never been done before but is it

actually against the rules

no i don't think it is

fine they may compete

but you two must pay the consequences

for disobeying the rules

we will gladly do whatever your imperial

rules dictate congratulations

if you would step forward to accept the

prize

this is the 63rd year in a row that

you've won the prize

and now that our winner is retiring

at last you will all have a better

chance of winning

in the years to come just you wait

next time i'll play the best trick

well next time i'll just let our

talented scribes

do what they do best

see you next year if my father and your

magistrate can finish cleaning in time
