The scene opens with a duel between a young man and a man in his mid-20s. The young man is trying to win the duel, but the older man shouts at him, saying that the duel is "melodrama" . The younger man tries to defend himself by saying that if he loses, he'll get his land and house back. The older man says that if the younger man loses, his debt will be "written off" , but if the young man wins, his property and land will be his. The two men discuss the upcoming movie, "King of Snooker," which is set to be released in the coming months. The old man says he's heard that the movie is being shot inside a billiard hall, and that he wants to be a part of it, but he can't commit himself to the project because he has other things to worry about. He says that he came to Hong Kong to study the game, but that he'd much rather be on the road studying the game. He tells the young men to let him know that they're on the lookout for him, since he has avoided everyone he knows in the past. He also tells the younger men that he knows where they live, where they play, and where they've had girlfriends. The elder man tells him that he has watched his games and knows where he lives, and he knows how many girlfriends he has had. He offers to teach him how to "clear the table" with one shot, but says he can only teach him for free.
