[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-(e)ng] English manor, sitting on the lawn, where he 掙 struggles to get a dead 扌 finger that is stuck in his 爫 cleats out. He 掙 struggles with a pen to try to pry it loose, but fails. His face is sweaty from the (ever rare) England sun as he really 掙 struggles to get the 扌 finger loose.
