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.

ANGLE ON DREW: Walking aimlessly. He comes to an intersection and sees a sign that says "Shaolin Temple" with an arrow. He goes in the direction that the arrow points.
EXT. GIRL'S SCHOOL – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GROUP OF GIRLS STANDING OUTSIDE THEIR SCHOOL.
Drew walks up and says hello.
DREW:
Hello, ladies! Can you tell me how to get to the Shaolin Temple?
They titter with laughter, covering their mouths with their hands. Drew is not really amused, however, he is frustrated and tired.
DREW (CONT'D) The Shaolin Temple? How hard can that be? Geez, doesn't anyone speak English here?
ANGLE ON ASHEMA: As she pushes her way to the front of the group. She is a strikingly beautiful young woman.
ASHEMA:
I do. But wouldn't it make more sense for you to speak Chinese than to expect us to speak English?
DREW:
(flustered) You're right. I apologize – I've just been trying to get to the temple for a long time now.
ASHEMA:
Why do you want to find the temple?
DREW:
(not without pride) I am going to join the temple as a monk.
Ashema translates this for her friends, and they titter anew. They gesture to Drew's longish hair and laugh, and then make some attempts at martial arts movements.
ASHEMA (CONT'D) I'm going that way – I can take you.
DREW:
You have a car?
ASHEMA:
The next best thing.
(beat) This is a Chinese car.
She pulls out her standard-issue black bicycle – she has customized it, however, with some colorful additions.
ASHEMA (CONT'D) Hop on.
Drew does, and they take off, the girls from the school tittering as they drive off.
EXT. CHINESE STREETS – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF ASHEMA PEDALING DREW.
It is not the most stable ride – Ashema is struggling to keep moving, while Drew is doing his best to stay on the bike.
DISSOLVE TO: EXT. CHINESE STREETS – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW PEDALING ASHEMA.
He is riding strongly, and she is comfortable in the back. They are getting stares from the people they pass, but Ashema seems to be enjoying the attention. Drew hits a bump, and Ashema holds his waist a little tighter. Neither of them mind – in fact, Drew starts looking for more bumps.
He pulls around the corner into a wide area lined with drink and food stands.
ASHEMA:
We are here.
