EXT. COUNTRYSIDE – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GAO, LI AND DREW RUNNING THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE.
They come to a stream, and there by a stream is a beautiful young woman who can't get across the stream without getting her clothes soaked.
Without thinking twice, Drew allows her to get on his back and carries her across the river. He deposits her on the other side and then continues running.
Gao and Li run up next to Drew, and together they go back to the temple. When they stop outside the temple, they are breathing heavily. finally catching his breath, Gao turns to Drew.
GAO:
I can't believe you carried that girl over the stream! After all the trouble you got into...
LI:
Are you crazy? You almost got kicked out once over that kind of thing... Drew smiles slightly.
DREW:
I left that girl at the stream. Are you two still carrying her?
He turns and walks away, leaving Li and Gao to puzzle that one out. As he walks away, San De comes out from behind a pillar where he had been sweeping, smiling and nodding his head at Drew's answer.

The action is fast and furious.
ANGLE ON DREW AND GAO Who are squared off and fighting. They are intense, and the techniques they are throwing are full power. Drew hits Gao, and he bends over. Drew closes, thinking that he has Gao at his mercy. At the last minute, Gao stands up and cold c*cks Drew, who sags to the ground.
TIGHT ON DREW: Who is trying to get his bearings.
DREW:
Lucky shot, slant eye!
ANGLE ON GAO: Who gives him a mean look.
GAO:
You stink, American!
ANGLE ON DREW: Who stands up, mad.
DREW:
That's it! You're dead meat!
He comes at Gao, and they start fighting again, throwing all kinds of acrobatic kicks and techniques.
A gong sounds, O.S., and Gao and Drew stop, bow to each other, and then embrace, smiling.
DREW (CONT'D) Saved by the bell...
GAO:
I had you... Drew moves off to the side to get a drink of water, and to towel off. As he rubs his neck, D.S. comes up to him.
D.S.
San De wants to see you, in his chambers.
Drew raises his eyebrows, then looks over at Gao and Li. He rolls up his towel and snaps Gao with it as he walks by.
DREW:
I wonder what you did now... INT. SAN DE CHAMBER – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW AND SAN DE SITTING ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER.
