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.

Drew stands next to the monk, watching him intently. Again, the monk takes no notice of him.
DREW:
Excuse me, Master.
No answer.
DREW (CONT'D) Hello? Busy, huh?
Still no answer. The man is just slamming his hand into the post, over and over.
Drew sighs and walks on. He goes down a path, and flowering bushes are on either side of him. He can see the "pagoda forest" in the distance. At the end of the path, a monk, SAN DE, is sweeping up the path.
Drew walks up to the monk and bows.
DREW (CONT'D) Master, may I ask you a question?
No answer nor response. Drew's kind of tired of this treatment.
DREW (CONT'D) What's the deal here? Is everybody deaf in this temple? Even if you heard me, you wouldn't understand, would you? Huh, baldy? Shine your head for a quarter?
He walks off frustrated, wondering what he has to do to get noticed. He walks back into the chanting chamber.
INT. TEMPLE – SAME DAY The monks are still chanting. Drew stands there, listening some more, moving with the beat, until they stop chanting.
Drew, thinking it was some kind of performance, claps his hands.
DREW:
That was great! Great!
The monks finally take notice of him, and they are shocked.
MONK 1 No tourists! Temple closed!
DREW:
So you can see me?!?
Several monks rush up and start herding Drew towards the exit.
MONK 1 (very agitated) No tourists! No tourists!
Drew stops their progress and makes sure he has the monk's attention.
DREW (CONT'D) I'm not a tourist! I want to be a monk!
The monk stops, his face a mask of shock. He calls to another monk, and they have a short conversation in Chinese.
ADMISSIONS MONK: That's not possible.
DREW:
What do you mean, sir?
ADMISSIONS MONK: The training is too difficult. Besides, Shaolin policy is no foreigners.
