Copy-pasting this from my old journal, haha. Since people will inevitably ask for it: an excerpt from the mini-drama from China's character CD, where Taiwan makes an appearance. Shinatty, who is a fat middle-aged man from Beijing in a strange-looking Hello Kitty costume, dislocated China's arm earlier, then they went to do some tai chi. ... Yes.
I edited some errors in the original translation after listening to the track. You can listen to it here. This translation starts at 5:52.
Shinatty: (satisfied sigh) The sun’s nice and bright; this is a perfect day for Tai Chi!
China: Uh, before you forget, do you think you can fix my arm now? Come on, it’s a little gross looking when it just shakes there...
Shinatty: You know, the way your arm looks reminds me of the fighting stance of that Hong Kong movie star!
China: Oh yeah! He was pretty cool, wasn’t he? (pauses) But this is seriously pissing me off~
Shinatty: Well, there’s nothing I can do.
China: Aiyaaaaa! W-what do you... didn’t you... I... wha... EHHHHHHHH?!
Shinatty: There are many obstacles in the course of one’s life, but one little person’s suffering isn’t going to throw the world’s cosmos out of whack. You’ll just have to grin and bear it, it’ll pass when it passes; that’s just how life goes!
China: What are you talking about you loud mouthed idiot?! If you can’t do it, then get me a doctor! Doctor, now, hurry up!
Shinatty: If I had the money to see a doctor, I’d rather go play mahjong.
China: I know it’s really expensive, but what else am I supposed to do? Doctor! I can’t do Tai Chi like this!
Taiwan: You're so noisy, teacher!
China: T-Taiwan...
Taiwan: This is a public area! So please keep your voice down, okay? If you’re that noisy, you’ll scare away all the birds and make the flowers die, you know.
Shinatty: Bùhǎoyìsi, (roughly "sorry to inconvenience you") the old man was having flashbacks about the good old days when he was happy and fully of energy!
China: Don't treat me like I'm some old man! I’m young, cool, and hip!
Taiwan: Then you should start acting cool! ... What’s the matter, teacher? Your arm's swinging back and forth, isn't it? Ah, are you trying to be like that new Hong Kong star?
China: Just what the hell about this reminds people of that stupid Hong Kong star? That guy in the... c-(squeals)-cute costume did this to me! Oh, it’s so cute! I want to hug it!
Taiwan: Teacher, that’s a counterfeit. I have a lot of originals at my house that I made myself, though, so I can give you some. You know, "Hello Ki(censored)..." Ah, they'll have to pass through America...
China: I'm not accepting any charity from someone younger than me! ... Mm, well maybe just a little bit... Call a doctor right now so I can move my arm again!
Taiwan: (giggles) Teacher’s old!
China: I'm not old! I’m young, cool, and hip!
Shinatty: (laughs) Sometimes the old man tries to relive the good old da-
China: Bì zuǐ! (Shut up!)
Taiwan: (laughs) You're such a grandpa!
China: Shut up! I'm the one you guys depend on!
Shinatty: Don’t get so upset, you’re no fun like this! Tell you what, I don't really know what it's made of but I'll give you some medicine I made yesterday, so don't be angry!
China: I can't trust you with the food you make; I don't need it!
Taiwan: Well, I really know what it's made of now but I don't want to tell you, but I'll give you something I made yesterday, too, okay?
China: Just what are you two doing with your spare time? I don't need it, I don't need it!
Taiwan: Teacher, you’re so stubborn!
Shinatty: Oh, good grief, you want me, don’t you?
China: Aiyaaa... I can’t take this anymore. I never thought that a conversation about the Spring Festival would end up like this. ... I’m going to Hong Kong so I can become a famous movie star! I'll make tons of cash and live a happy life! You guys... zàijiàn! (goodbye)
Taiwan: Ah. Teacher, do you want your arm fixed?
China: Yes! What did you think I was talking about earlier?!
Taiwan: Aaaaah, I thought this was the new style! I thought that if I didn't praise you, you'd get mad. If that's all it was, I can fix it! Oh, teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier?
China: Huh?
Taiwan: Let’s go! Don’t move, okay? Hyoooooooo!
(pops his shoulder back into place)
China: GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Random Guy: What kind of play was that, WHAT KIND OF PLAY WAS THAT?!
(note: You know, like knife play... wax play... roleplay... I don't know how to translate it better sob)
Taiwan: There, all better! Isn't that great, teacher?
China: (groans and coughs) Did Taiwan just... break my back...? Ugh...
Random Guy: Can you do that for me, too?
Taiwan: Why?
Random Guy: Ah, uh, that's... Ehehe! I meant, I want you to do it to me!
Taiwan: Where are you injured?
Shinatty: I think I’ll go find that cold compress for you...
China: It’s all... your fault, you... (whimpers) Aah! I just remembered that someone’s supposed to come to my house today! I don't have time for this - I’ve got to, got to prepare some food!
