The film then veers into "Karate Kid" territory where the novice humiliates himself at every turn, is tolerated as a foreigner, and still comes out a champion. The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy.

The Headmistress starts to say something, but San De holds up his hand, stopping her. He leads them out, then closes the door and comes back to face Drew.
DREW:
Master, I can't tell you how sorry I am. I appreciate you both going to bat like that for me. I won't let it happen again.
SAN DE:
Neither will we. You must leave the temple in the morning.
DREW:
But I thought... the police... D.S.
You do not deserve to leave the country as a criminal, but you cannot stay.
Drew sits for a moment, looking back and forth between San De and the D.S. His eyes are filling with tears, and he wipes at them.
DREW (CONT'D) I'm sorry, Master.
SAN DE:
As am I.
Drew gets up and walks out of the chamber.
EXT. COURTYARD – SAME NIGHT DREW WALKS BACK TO THE DORM ROOM, SLOWLY.
INT. DORM ROOM – SAME NIGHT ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WITH THE OTHER GUYS AROUND HIM.
He has just finished telling the disciples what is going on.
They are shocked.
GAO:
Why only you?
Drew shrugs and goes over to his bed, lying down with a sigh.
LI:
The D.S. always told us that we're all responsible for what happens.
WU:
It's not fair.
DREW:
It doesn't have to be fair... DISSOLVE TO: ANGLE ON DREW LYING IN THE DARK Everyone else is asleep, but not Drew. He is staring at the ceiling.
DISSOLVE TO: INT. DORM ROOM – MORNING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WAKING UP TO AN EMPTY ROOM.
Everyone is gone already, their beds made up. Drew gets up quickly and gathers up his few things. He puts on his New York Yankees cap and shoulders his back pack, then looks around the room one last time.
DREW:
I hate long goodbyes anyway... He exits the room.
EXT. SHAOLIN COURTYARD – SAME DAY ANGLE ON DREW: Walking through the courtyard, for the last time. Only a few monks are around, and they don't meet Drew's eyes.
The sounds of training can be heard O.S. Drew stops to listen to those sounds for a moment, then heads for the door.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – SAME DAY ANGLE ON DREW: As he leaves the temple. He pauses for a moment with the door open, then shuts it sadly. He looks out over the courtyard, which is completely deserted. Drew sighs, hitches his backpack onto his back and starts out.
As he comes out of the doorway and into the courtyard proper, he sees... THE ENTIRE CLASS OF DISCIPLES Dressed in street clothes with their bags packed. Li and Gao are in the front, their bags in their hands, smiling.
