00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:02.910 align:middle line:90%
I think I'll just read two more.

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:05.070 align:middle line:84%
So this is "Chinese
Dream number 4,"

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:08.910 align:middle line:84%
and these are both rewritings
of two of the more famous pieces

00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:11.080 align:middle line:84%
from the collection,
from the dream song.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.260 align:middle line:84%
So you may recognize
some of the cadences.

00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:16.500 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.920 align:middle line:84%
"Filling your full
and avaricious body

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.860 align:middle line:84%
with kung pao chicken,
you quote Confucius twice.

00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:84%
Feigning interest, I
cleared your table.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.890 align:middle line:84%
And only the fact of history
and my four grandparents kept me

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:34.980 align:middle line:84%
from springing on you, or
kicking with my little feet

00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:38.970 align:middle line:84%
and crying, 'you are the dullest
one for years of write that

00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:43.080 align:middle line:84%
Tim's poor ears have
suffered, bonehead.'

00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.890 align:middle line:84%
I discoursed upon--
despairing-- chop suey.

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:53.310 align:middle line:84%
Doc Fu, world full of
poets, feed on you.

00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:58.230 align:middle line:84%
Black hair, complexion
sallow, slant eyes downcast.

00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:02.010 align:middle line:90%
The mob inside me feasts.

00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:06.030 align:middle line:84%
What slanders am I
gnawing on, under here?

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:07.830 align:middle line:90%
The restaurant swells.

00:01:07.830 --> 00:01:09.810 align:middle line:84%
Just go back where
you came from.

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.180 align:middle line:90%
No, where you're really from.

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:15.510 align:middle line:84%
There ought to be a
law against Chinese.

00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:18.558 align:middle line:90%
Mr Chan, there is."
