Argument Over Broken Hair Cutting Scissors

You can't cut that. If you didn't know, you should've asked me.

You can't just mess with my things.

The bed up front is mine.

From the eyes...

- I-I didn't notice.

- Sorry.

Why did you go and touch my

- scissors?

- Then what were you trying to cut?

- Wh-what's wrong with you? You used my scissors to cut toothpicks.

- Oh, sorry. I dropped them.

See for yourself. There's a big chip in yours.

Besides, our scissors are for cutting hair.

Why did you use my hair-cutting scissors to cut household

toothpicks? And you dropped them on the floor.

Look, there's such a big chip.

- Now I can't even cut hair with them.

- I didn't know. You can't cut with them.

If you didn't know, you should've asked me.

You can't just mess with my things.

Now they're damaged like this.

How am I supposed to use them?

- Besides, I haven't even used these scissors.

- You didn't use mine.

I'm telling you, professional hairstylists'

scissors can only be used to cut hair.

They can't be used to cut anything else,

not even thread.

- If you cut that, they won't cut properly anymore.

You said they couldn't cut, so you just

- let me cut it for you, okay?

- I can't help it. I really can't help it.

- I didn't use them.

What if I had them in my pocket,

and you just grabbed some crappy scissors?

Does that mean you can use them too?

At least you should've said something.

Anyway, with my hair now,

my scissors have such a big chip

that I can't cut it.

- What are we going to do?

- What are we going to do?

- You definitely...

Then couldn't they still be used?

You don't need to use them. They don't cut anyway.

- They can't. Let me try.

How am I supposed to cut with these? They're chipped.

How am I supposed to cut? You have to compensate me.

- What do you mean, two months?

I won't compensate you. You definitely have to compensate me.

- I can't use them.

I said they can't be used. You don't understand our

scissors. You said they could be used.

They can't be used. I just

need them to be able to cut hair.

- Just take them back.

- You said I should compensate you, so I'll compensate you.

You broke them by dropping them.

- You definitely have to compensate me.

I'll compensate you. You definitely have to compensate me.

How am I supposed to use them? How should I use them?

- You said they cost over two thousand.

- I even have the receipt, if you want it.

You have a receipt? Receipts

- can be faked.

- Ah, let me test them.

That's not it. Those scissors of yours,

at most they're worth two or three hundred yuan.

Two or three hundred yuan, that's enough.

These scissors, aren't they worth

- just two or three hundred yuan?

I don't want to argue with you.

I don't want to argue with you.

I'll show you the receipt.

These scissors have a model number.

What brand, what brand

and model, when they were bought,

they come in all kinds of prices.

You could forge the receipt.

For all the tools I've bought,

I kept every receipt.

That's what you said. This one.

Take it yourself.

Let me see. Take it and look.

Yes, over here.

Over here.

You give me 2,000, and your scissors are 500.

You want to say these scissors—

aren't they just two or three hundred yuan?

You bought these.

Aren't they just two or three hundred yuan?

Otherwise, I saw they cost over 3,000.

I know. I said I wouldn't pay

that much for scissors.

I wouldn't even touch scissors that expensive.

If you smashed this kind, you definitely have to compensate me.

My receipt is right here.

I'll compensate you. You compensate yourself, take it.

Take these scissors away.

Don't you want to cut with them?

Take them home and cut with them. You,

you, give me the money.

I'm telling you,

if you don't compensate me for these scissors today,

you won't be getting out that door.

Without getting permission,

you broke my things.

You should compensate me at full value.

You won't be able to justify it anywhere.

At most, it's only two

or three hundred yuan that I'll pay you.

I have a receipt. Even if I give you 2,000, I still

think that's impossible.

How is it impossible?

My receipt is right here.

The receipt you're talking about, my receipt.

I bought these scissors in Guiyang.

Where did you buy them? Otherwise, take them to be tested,

and I'll buy the exact same pair again.

Right, whether it's Beijing or somewhere else,

I'm saying they're

worth that price. Are you being unreasonable?

I'm not being unreasonable. I can only say that I want to,

you said I'd compensate you,

I only need to pay you two or three hundred yuan.

That's impossible.

I bought them for two or three thousand, and you—

I paid over two or three thousand for them,

and you'll only compensate me two or three hundred.

Besides, my scissors were perfectly fine.

You touched them and damaged them.

Then let me ask you, what did you cut?

I cut twice.

I cut with them, but they can't cut.

You're at least in your thirties, aren't you?

Can you talk like that?

You upset me just now. The receipt is right here.

The receipt is right here. Look carefully.

You're being unreasonable here.

Seeing your receipt, I feel I should compensate you.

I'll compensate you, and I feel bad about it too.

Just now, it was me.

I can't possibly give you two or three thousand yuan.

I can't take two or three thousand yuan and compensate you.

At most, I'll give you two or three hundred yuan.

Do you think 300 yuan will do?

- I should’ve— You hung up on me.

You know? Let’s not even mention the 300 yuan.

Ah, stop nagging me. I have my—

- Hey, don’t go.

- I don’t want it either.

I’ll call the police. I’m not paying.

- Call the police. How stupid.

Looking at it this way, it’s completely broken.

- I’ll give you two or three hundred yuan.

- Look how skinny you are.

- I think that’s acceptable.

- It’s heartbreaking. I think you’re exaggerating it.

Because it’s been used, two or three times,

- I believe you used it a few times.

- Right. Even if I buy yours, I

might not be able to get it working.

- How about I pay you 300 yuan?

Mm, over here, hey,

over here, I-I put that counter in our

shop, uh, to cut hair.

Uh, as a result, we left the hair-cutting

stuff at home. I have the receipt. Take it

- Take it out.

- Then we’re done for, but...

Okay. That’s it.
