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:
I didn't come all this way, from America, to get turned away. I want in. I want to become a Shaolin monk.
ADMISSIONS MONK: What people want and what they can have are often not the same.
DREW:
Not in this case.
MONK:
Oh, yes, especially in this case.
DREW:
I'm not leaving.
Drew starts to sit down, intent on staying, almost like a kid who is going to hold his breath until he turns blue.
MONK:
You give me no choice.
(to other monks) Remove him.
He continues in a stream of Chinese, and the other monks grab Drew and physically force him to stand up and start moving him towards the door.
DREW:
I just want to be a monk!
Drew is forced through the courtyard to the front door.
They pass the monk who was sweeping up in the back of the temple. He watches with interest as they open the door and force Drew through it, out of the temple.
He smiles.
CUT TO:
EXT. SHAOLIN COURTYARD – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW LANDING ON THE FLAGSTONES OF THE COURTYARD WITH A THUMP!
A group of people stop and watch the foreigner. The temple door closes with a solid boom.
DREW:
Hey! What about my... The temple door opens again, and out comes Drew's backpack.
It lands next to him, but spews out a couple of pairs of underwear, and some socks.
The people standing around laugh.
Drew gathers up the clothing and stuffs it back into his pack. He sits there for a moment, then gets up and heads for the small shops and stands ringing the courtyard.
He walks past a couple of the stalls, looking at the people running them. He doesn't see Ashema. He passes a tea stall, where one old man is sitting down sipping his tea.
The old man looks at Drew and smiles, and Drew is about to walk on, when Ashema stands up from where she was squatting behind her stall.
ASHEMA:
Drew?
DREW:
Hi.
Drew sits down heavily, putting his pack down next to him.
Ashema places a cup of tea down in front of him, the steam rising from it.
