The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy.

DREW:
I thought this was light contact!
GAO:
Fight, you coward!
Drew stares at Gao, then looks around for the D.S. He is over at the other side of the training area.
DREW:
You got it.
Before he can move, however, Gao attacks, slamming him full power in the face. Drew almost falls to the ground, then attacks him and the battle is joined.
The fighting is fast and furious, and soon the others see what is happening, and gather around. One of the monks comes over and tries to break it up, but they continue fighting, wrestling, kicking and punching.
The D.S. finally gets over to them, and without moving a muscle, barks – D.S.
Stop!
Drew and Gao immediately break apart, breathing heavy and staring daggers at each other.
D.S.
(to others) Back to work.
He turns and walks off, motioning for Drew and Gao to follow him. Drew follows immediately, with Gao behind him. Gao shoves him once.
INT. SAN DE CHAMBER – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW, GAO AND SAN DE IN THE SHADOWS OF SAN DE'S ROOM.
San De is sitting down reading a Buddhist text. With a sigh, he puts it down. On the wall behind is hanging a Golden Sash.
SAN DE:
So soon?
(beat) Tell me what happened.
Drew looks at Gao, and Gao looks at Drew. There is a pause, one that is very uncomfortable. Finally, Drew speaks.
DREW:
It was my fault. I started it.
ANGLE ON GAO: Surprised at Drew's confession.
DREW (CONT'D) Disciple Gao was better than me.
Drew pauses, and Gao is even more surprised at the revelation.
DREW (CONT'D) I lost my temper. He was only defending himself.
ANGLE ON SAN DE: Who nods his head and looks at Drew.
SAN DE:
Is this true, Disciple Gao?
Gao looks at Drew, wondering what he should say. Drew looks at him, nodding for him to say yes.
