Humans? So tiny!

Why poke my foot?

Monk Tang. Monk Tang.

Over here!

Look this way, I'm here!

You've been asleep for ages.

We wanted to wake you. Listen!

We have good news.

Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

Monk Tang,

we have great news to tell you.

Congratulations!

You're in the place

you've always dreamed of.

-This is India?

-Correct!

India.

I've reached my destination at last!

Sorry.

Master.

You've shrunk too?

Master, why are you in India too?

Monk Tang, you haven't let me down.

You wanted 22 sutras.

They're loaded on 10 horse carts.

They're yours if you want them.

Help yourself.

But the main reason I'm here today...

...is to give you an award.

What award?

For living this long.

Try it on.

What an honor.

I like it.

Discreet or bold...

...you control it.

The right side is brighter, you see?

You can even it up.

May we ask for a few words?

I.... I need to think about it.

Master! What is going on?

Have fun!

CIRCUS FREAK SHOW

Monk! Pay your way or the boss

will throw you out. Stop sleeping!

I know.

Blindfolded knife-throwing!

Amazing physical feats!

Roll up, roll up! Don't miss this!

Our guest stars

are travelers heading west.

The pig, the fish and the monkey.

Greatest show on earth.

Only 2 cents per person.

How about half price?

Buy one, get one free?

It's a deal, thank you.

Showtime.

The gorgeous Pigsy!

Woman....

-What's your name? Your age?

-Crazy!

The great fish monster, Sandy!

How dare you scare my kid!

Shame on you! Money back!

Making me angry?

Money back!

Don't.

Don't be rash. We have more

to show you. Give us another chance.

If we don't like them,

you pay everyone back double!

All right.

His Excellency, the Monkey King!

Fake! Money back!

Monkey, do some somersaults!

Paying back double will clean us out!

All right. Thanks for the vegetables.

Your generosity will keep us fed

for several days.

Boss, this monk cheats!

He can't pay us back! Throw him out!

You're a disgrace to my circus! Scram!

How can you fit in here with such stunts?

Boss, we're not circus people.

We are Buddhist monks.

Our road is long and hard.

We are hungry.

And I'm sick!

My body aches.

It's been days since I last ate.

So pitiful? Come....

These two buns...

...are for righteous men.

Men who deserve help.

Are you worthy?

We're really from the Great Tang Dynasty.

We conquer demons.

Monkey, show them your skills.

Hit me.

-Hit me.

-I can't do that, Brother Monkey.

I'm not suicidal.

Shall I hit you, then?

I'd like that even less, Brother Monkey.

Fine, you only live once, I'll hit you.

Brother, you're hard as a rock!

It's as if my whole arm is shattered!

Pretty boy, have you no shame?

Watch some more before you complain.

And stop poking me.

I need to!

Hit me. Master wants us to perform.

I'm hungry, I have no strength.

Hungry? That's no excuse for shirking.

Hit me, stupid!

I've heard there are

fake demon-vanquishers around.

They've left many people hurt.

You must be the ones!

Yes, we're guilty.

The problem is that

my disciples are too strong.

Sure, you just keep on bragging.

One blow is enough. Stop now.

That'll do for now.

You're so desirable!

Let me stoke your fires a little.

No! Get off me!

Monkey, don't just squat there.

Do something about it!

I'm so sorry, that's really all from us.

No charge for what you've just seen.

Great, sir. Your performance

is more than impressive.

Say no more.

Try this candied fruit, let us be brothers.

Brother, now you've seen

what they can do.

I wish

they could control themselves better.

-We really do conquer demons.

-Of course you do.

Monkey, come and apologize!

Pick up your headband.

Put it on.

Wear it properly now!

I'm doing it.

You talk while chewing a twig?

Bad monkey!

I won't if you don't like it.

But stop calling me "Bad monkey"!

I can call you that if I want to.

Bad monkey! Bad monkey!

Great.

Say it just one more time....

You're angry? Makes me so scared!

Aren't you all afraid?

Let's do this together--

Don't be scared.

Even if he throws tantrums,

you can't be lenient.

Let's all scold him together.

One, two, three....

Bad monkey!

My boy, my boy

Why are you so bad?

Bullying, cheating

Why make me so sad?

Learn to be a good boy

Learn to love

Care for others

Fill your heart with color

My good boy

Hurry back to me

My embrace

My good boy

Be sincere

You're the one I love most

Master, ours is just a small enterprise.

What you see is all we have.

If it's not enough for you,

then all we can offer is our lives.

First, I'm not here

to extort anything from you.

Second....

Never mind, I won't say it.

Journey to the West:

The Demons Strike Back

When did your mother

start behaving like this?

A few days ago.

I don't know why.

Soon after we moved here...

...she began talking nonsense.

If I approach her...

...she scratches me like a mad thing.

I have no idea why she's like this.

I'm completely exhausted.

Luckily my two daughters...

...help me take care of my mother.

It wears them out.

They're your daughters?

Goddaughters.

-How old are they?

-They just turned 16.

They look a little haggard.

They've been working too hard.

They were radiant before.

What a sense of humor!

Grandma, have some congee.

You haven't eaten all day.

Another fit?

Ma, are you all right?

Ma, Ma, Ma....

It's me.

-Quick! The exorcism mirror!

-Coming up!
