ANGLE ON THE ROOM As the song the disciples have been singing in the fields blasts out. Immediately, the disciples start moving with the music, and suddenly the Party is happening.

The only ones together are Drew and Ashema, who are talking in the center of the room. The disciples are all clustered together, staring at the walls and the ceiling. A group of giggle girls are standing around Drew and Ashema.

DREW (CONT'D) Disciple Gao was better than me.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL Drew and Gao going at it. The other disciples are paired off as well, but the only real action is here in this ring.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

DREW (CONT'D) Just move in time to the music, nothing elaborate. Think of it as a soft form... The disciples move and sway in time to the music. They are treating their pillows like imaginary girls.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

The disciples have grabbed their pillows. Drew pops the cassette into his boom box and turns it on, low and sultry.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

As soon as they are out, the serious faces break into smiles, and they are teenagers again. Some of the disciples run off to join relatives waiting for them in the courtyard, while a group of them stick together.

Remember, let no one know you are disciples at the Shaolin Temple, but do not forget that you are. Dzai Jyan.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

A monk comes down the line, handing out hats to the disciples. They put them on, and wait for instructions from the D.S.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

He lands with a huge splash, doing a painful bellow flop. Drew comes to the surface, still clutching the now- destroyed umbrella. He smiles at the other disciples, who are still swimming, sheepishly.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

PULL BACK TO REVEAL Drew, along with the other disciples, lined up and throwing these sharp wedges into the ground and pulling it back out. Their muscles are bulging with the effort.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

MONK (CONT'D) At the Shaolin temple, we forge our bodies in the fire of our wills. We adhere to a vow of non-violence, unless someone else is in danger... Follow my movements... He starts moving through a series of techniques, and the rest of the disciples try to mimic his actions. He is moving around the room, and they are trying to do what he is doing.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

Suddenly, it BURSTS open and in come the disciples, led by Drew. They fan out into the room, Drew in the center.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

The disciples can hardly believe their luck.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

The D.S. hardly breaks stride and continues walking. He looks back once, and sees the outline of the group of disciples.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

In the b.g. can be seen Drew, Li, Wu and a couple other of the disciples. They are waiting for something.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

DORM AREA – NIGHT ANGLE ON DREW MASSAGING HIS MUSCLES He is sitting with Li and a couple of the other disciples, Wu, Shu and Low.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

The monk continues walking until he walks right in front of the disciples. His face and body are covered with bruises and welts. The two other monks don't say a word, their faces grim.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

The D.S. leads the way to the latrine building, and the disciples follow, each of them carrying a shovel. Drew is trudging along, not believing what they are doing.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

He turns to the rest of the disciples.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL Drew sitting with Li and some other disciples.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

Drew cries out when he is hit, and jumps out of bed, looking all around him. No one is there. A few of the disciples are moving around because he yelled, but there is nothing else there.
>> 花旗小和尚 American Shaolin (1992) Movie Script

Drew is pissed and ready to go after Gao. Before he can, however, LI, another disciple, grabs another set of robes from the table and gives it to Drew, pulling him away from the confrontation.
