Drew is about to say something, but doesn't. He returns to work.
DORM AREA – NIGHT ANGLE ON DREW MASSAGING HIS MUSCLES He is sitting with Li and a couple of the other disciples, Wu, Shu and Low.
DREW (CONT'D) I've got an idea on how to get even with our beloved Drill Sergeant... They all huddle a little closer.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF D.S. AS HE WALKS ALONG THE PATH.
In the b.g. can be seen Drew, Li, Wu and a couple other of the disciples. They are waiting for something.
The D.S. hits the trip wire and suddenly two bamboo poles HURTLE towards him, ready to slam him in the shoulders.
With one beautiful move, the D.S. breaks both poles, shattering when they hit his arms.
The D.S. hardly breaks stride and continues walking. He looks back once, and sees the outline of the group of disciples.
ANGLE ON DREW AND THE GUYS Who are up and running as soon as they are spotted. They run by Gao, who was watching from another area.
EXT. D.S. QUARTERS – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GAO WAITING OUTSIDE D.S. ROOM.
He looks around, knocks, and then goes in.
EXT. COURTYARD – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF ENTIRE CLASS GATHERED TOGETHER.
The D.S. walks into the front of the courtyard and addresses the group.
Gao is standing off to the side, a smug smile on his face.
D.S.
You are all responsible for anything that happens within your group. What happened yesterday falls on everyone's shoulders. So, all of you will do double work... ANGLE ON GAO: The smug smile gone now.
INT. MEDITATION ROOM – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GROUP OF DISCIPLES SEATED ON ROUND PILLOWS PRACTISING ZAZEN, SITTING MEDITATION.
Drew is in the center of the room, and the sound of light snoring is heard.
ANGLE ON DREW: It is him, he is asleep!
Suddenly, a bamboo shinai is SLAMMED across Drew's back, waking him up.
MEDITATION MONK: Bodhidharma meditated for 9 years without sleeping. Think you can manage 9 minutes?
EXT. WORK AREA – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF THE ENTIRE GROUP LABORING IN THE FIELDS.
They are all singing "Chain Gang".
TIGHT ON SEVERAL OF THE DISCIPLES They are good workers, and they don't mind the hard work nor the hot weather quite so much.
ANGLE ON DREW: Working hard.
