Barber:
Why don't you train us to be top fighters... and we'll avenge them! Landlady: Becoming a top fighter takes time, unless you're a natural-born kung-fu genius, and they're 1 in a million. Barber: [Does martial arts routine] It's obvious I'm the one. Landlady: [immediately punches him in the face] Don't think so. See more » |
