[zh-] James Bond is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium where the bathroom attendant is trying to sell him a 乍 saw. James Bond, who needs one for his mission, buys it. But he is 詐 swindled! In reality, it is just a rubber stage prop of a 乍 saw, and when you try to use it, it just shoots out the 言 words "I'm not a real 乍 saw, you've been 詐 swindled!". When James tries to give it back, he finds the bathroom attendant is gone.
