Ms Parker. We've been waiting. I am so sorry we're late. We just flew in from Detroit last night. This is my son, Dre. Hello. Hi. We only wear uniforms on Uniform Day. Oh, that's my fault. I didn't have a chance to read the school package you sent me. We'll be better tomorrow. And hats are not permitted. Yeah, I should have read up on the dress code. Dre, is that make-up? Ow! What is that? Mum, I ran into a pole. No, you have a black eye. You got into a fight? Fighting's not tolerated here. You heard him, he ran into a pole. Come here, Dre. Mum, don't start. Who did it? Nobody, Mum. I ran into a pole. I didn't tell you cos I knew you'd act like this. You know I don't play that. Somebody hit my baby, I will tear... I know, Mum. That's why I don't tell you stuff.

Almost like a Chinese. Yeah, I'm fluent. I don't know what he was talking about. I thought you sounded great. Thank you. (SINGS MOCK-OPERATICALLY) So are you practising for anything? Like a show or... Yes. I have an audition next month for the Beijing Academy of Music. Beijing Academy of Music. Sounds important. You know, their initials spell "BAM." What? Yeah. Yeah. Gotta go. Hey. Can I touch your hair? (BOYS LAUGH) Gonna do something? Just stay away from us. All of us. (TV) Baby. Dre, are you asleep? (STREET NOISES) Hey, can you sign this? You're going to the Forbidden City? I think it's funny that you have to get my permission to go to the Forbidden City. I got pull in Beijing. That's not funny, Mum. Cut it out, grumpy. I'm serious, Dre, this ice cream, (CHUCKLES) I don't know what they do to it, but it's more flavouristic. What? Mum, this is you. "Oh, my goodness, this ice cream here is so good, "and everything in China's so much better than everything else... " Mum, come on! Firstly, I don't sound like that, and I don't move all like that. We should've got you some ice cream, it's really good. Mum, Mum, come on. Dre. Mum, come on! Wait! Wait for me, Dre. Wait! Mum, come on. Dre, wait! Wait, wait! Mum! Boy, you gonna get a nut for running from me. Wow. Kung fu. (KUNG FU COMMANDS/RESPONSES) (KUNG FU COMMANDS/RESPONSES) Hi, precious. Mum. Mum, come on, let's go. What? Dre, we just got here. Come on, Mum. Dre, what's going on? Nothing. Dre, what happened? What happened? Nothing. Something happened. You don't like that karate class, baby? It's not karate, Mum. OK, alright. Karate, kung fu, whatever. Dre, what happened? We moved to China! That's what happened! OK, stop. Don't be like that, Dre. What do you want me to do? We've been here less than a week and I... I feel like it's a year! I hate it here! Dre, please let me help you. I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong, so please... You don't care what's wrong! All you care about is "how happy I am" and "how great the ice cream is"! Well, I'm not happy! I hate it here! (SOBS) I wanna go home! Dre, we can't go home. OK? There is nothing left for us in Detroit. This is what we got. This is home. OK? Hi, guys. Gather around here. As the Emperor was considered to be divine, no mere mortal was permitted access. Hence the name the Forbidden City. (CHILDREN CHEER/SHOUT) You touch them for good luck. I wish someone would just... Yeah, me too. Just tell someone. Yeah, I got it. Er, thanks a lot. The floors of the palace were reinforced with brick, 15 layers deep to prevent anyone from tunnelling in. Even if an outsider managed to get in... Mr Parker? Yes? Is everything OK? Er, yes, thank you. (NOISY CHATTER) (SPLASHING) (BOYS SHOUT) (TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC THROUGHOUT CHASE) You're fast. Not fast enough. (YELPS IN PAIN) (SHOUTS) (YELLS IN PAIN) (PANTS) (WHIMPERS) (CRIES IN PAIN) What's up with the light bulbs, Mr Han? Shh. I thought you were just a maintenance man. You think only with your eyes, so you are easy to fool. It doesn't hurt. Gua Sha. Ancient Chinese healing. How'd you do that out there? You, like, didn't even punch them. They beat each other up. When fighting angry, blind men, best to just stay out of the way. So where'd you learn kung fu? From father. Have you ever taught anybody? No. Would you? Depends. On what? Reason. What about to kick somebody's ass? Best fights are the ones we avoid. What if I wanna avoid getting my ass kicked? Stop saying ass. Sorry. Kung fu is for knowledge, defence. Not to make war, but create peace. That's definitely not what they're taught. No such thing as bad students, only bad teacher. Oh, that's great. I guess we'll just stroll in their school and talk to their teacher. Good idea. No, bad idea. If I go in there, I'll get my ass kick... I'll get beat up. You'll get beat up anyway. Will you go with me? No, sorry. But you said it was a good idea. For you. Bad idea for me. Come on, it's not like you're super busy or anything, and I don't even speak Chinese. Very sorry. OK. Alright, whatever. (SIGHS) Wait. (SHOUTING/HITTING) OK, Mr Han, let's get outta here. Whoa. Mr Han, does he want us to fight? (LAUGHS) (COMMANDS/RESPONSES) So, that go pretty much how you planned it? There's good news and bad news. Good news is they promise to leave you alone. Really? While you prepare. Prepare for what? Tournament. You'll fight them all one-on-one. Huh? So the bad news is now they get to beat me up in public. Yes. Great. Thanks. Thanks a lot. They're gonna kill me. You saw their kung fu. That's not kung fu. That's a bad man teach them very bad things. Well, that bad man teaching very bad things hurt. A lot. More good news. I will teach you real kung fu. Yes! See you later, Mum. Hey, wait. This is early for you for a Saturday. Mr Han's teaching me kung fu. The maintenance man? It's China, Mum. Everybody knows kung fu. Dre, you know how I feel about fighting. Kung fu's not about fighting. It's about making peace with your enemies. Be careful, Dre. OK. Mr Han? (CHAINSAW) Mr Han! Back here. You know, you have a car in your living room, Mr Han. OK, I was thinking about yesterday. I know that I was freaking out about the tournament, but I realised something last night. I'm an athlete. My number one asset is I'm fast, OK? I'm quick, alright? I'm quick. Got speed. Cat speed. Ba-bow! See? I'm quick, yeah? See, and I used to take gymnastics at PAL. That's the Police Athletic League, so check it, right? Boom! You see that? Boom! You see that? Yeah. See, my Uncle Remy used to date this Brazilian girl. And he learned jiu jitsu, and he taught some of it to me. And it's like locks and holds and stuff. So, OK, attack me. Right here. See that? Feel that? I could break it. I'm choosing not to. It's a pressure lock. Dangerous. And he also taught me capoeira, so... You can't touch me, you can't... (SMASHING) That antique? Pick up your jacket. Oh... So, basically, Mr Han, what I'm trying to say is I've got a good foundation here. You know, like I said, I'm just... Might not be as hard to teach me as other people, you know? Hang it up. OK. Alright, but now... Take it down. But you just... Take it down. Put it on. Take it off. I already did all this. Take it off. Tell me why I'm doing this? Take it off. Hang it up. Take it down. Put it on the ground. Pick it up. Hang up. Take it down. Put it on. Take it off. Put it on the ground. Pick it up. Hang it up. Take it down. Put it on. Take it off. Hang it up. Mr Han? Why do you have a car in your living room? No street parking. Hey. So how did it go? What'd you learn? Nothing. (POURING RAIN) (MUSIC/EXERCISE COMMANDS) Uniform on Uniform Day. You are fighting in the tournament. Yeah. How did you hear? Everybody knows. I hope you have a good teacher. Yeah, me too. He's a maintenance man. Can I ask you a question? Yes. Well, I know that you're practising, and I think I'm practising. I mean, I don't know what I'm doing. But we're both kind of practising, you know, and... Are you going to the Qi Xi Festival? Yeah, I mean, I haven't missed a Shi Vi festival since I've been in China. Go to the Shadow Theatre. OK. Want me to meet you? So, like, Shadow Theatre. OK. Chi Fi Shi Festival, Shadow Theatre. OK, cool. OK. When is it again? Tomorrow. Show starts at seven. OK, so tomorrow, Shadow Theatre, Shi Shi Festival, at seven. See you tomorrow. Ki Shi Festival. Festival. Shi Shi Festival. OK. OK. Mr Han. Mr Han! May I come in? You may come in. Where's your jacket? I thought I was warm enough without it. Go get it. Want me to go all the way back just to get it? Yes. All the way back where you hide it. (RAINDROPS) It's not right. What? I'm doing it. No. Something is missing. Nothing's missing. Ah. You forgot this. Attitude. Jacket off. OK. Attitude. Yes. That's it. OK, Mr Han, I get it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated my mum like that. You were right. Put it on the ground. Hello? Oh, hey, Mom. Did you get the tickets? Yes, I got the tickets. And I got an extra one for Mr Han. But I didn't say you... Dre, stop it. Mr Han, would you like to go with us to the Shi Shi Festival? No, thank you. Too many people. Yeah, Mum, way too many people. Yeah, but I already bought the tickets. I don't go. Mr Han, I'm not taking no for an answer. You'll have fun. You need to get out of the house, OK? Here are your clothes, Dre. Come on, hurry up and change. Dre? Pick up your jacket! (FESTIVAL MUSIC) You were right, Mr Han. There are a lot of people here. Chinese Valentine's Day. Wow. This is beautiful. Yeah. Mum? Yeah? I'm gonna get something to eat, and then I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Be back here in 20 minutes. OK. OK. I love you. I love you, too. Be careful. 20 minutes. 20. OK. So what's the origin of this festival again? I know everything you do here has a meaning. Hi. Hi. Hey. Well, I got this and this for you. I downloaded this. And there's this girl, she has some really cool violin stuff, and I thought maybe you could play along and... It's not like Bach and them, but I thought maybe you'd like it and... Xie xie. So do you have any kids? No. Well, how's Dre doing? Xiao Dre making progress. Xiao Dre? Yeah. Chinese for little. (LAUGHS) So how many students do you have? Including Xiao Dre? Yeah. One. (CYMBALS/APPLAUSE) So, what's this show about? Er... It's a story of the goddess and the boy she loves. I love this story. Her mother does not approve of him. So she cuts a wide river in the sky to separate them for ever. But once a year, all the birds in the sky feel sad for them and they form a bridge... .. so the two of them may be together for a single night. I'll be there at your audition if you come to my tournament. OK. I'll be there. Pinky swear? See, you wrap your hands like this. I swear that I'll be there at your audition, no matter what happens. And I promise to cheer bigger than anyone else when you win. What up, Mr Han? Did I say, come in? I think you did. I mean... Mr Han, can I please come in? Yes. So, what are we doing today? Same. (SIGHS) You know, Mr. Han, I told you. I get it, OK? Be respectful. I got it. I put my jacket on a thousand times, I took it off a thousand times! OK? This is stupid. I'm done. They can beat me up if they want to. And you know why you only have one student? Cos you don't know kung fu. Xiao Dre! What? Come here. Jacket on. Mr Han, I already... Jacket on. Jacket on. I don't have a jacket now. Jacket on. Be strong. Jacket on. Firm. Jacket off. Remember, always strong. Jacket off. Strong. Left foot back. Right foot back. Left foot back! Pick up your jacket! Whoa, Mr... Focus! OK. Always concentrate. Left back. Right foot back! Pick up your jacket! Stay. Pick up your jacket. Ow! Be strong. Hang it up. Hang it up. Hang up. And attitude. Strike. Hang up, and attitude. Harder! Harder! Good. (PANTS) But no face. Jacket off! (PANTING) Kung fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Dre. It lives in how we put on a jacket, how we take off the jacket. And lives in how we treat people. Everything is kung fu. So, why didn't we take the Scirocco? I don't drive the Scirocco. Do you have a licence? Yes. So you have a licence and a car and we're on a train. Please be quiet. I'm just saying. Seems like we could've saved a lot of money. Don't you think? Do you always ask this many questions? I'm sorry. So, what are we learning today? Chi. Internal energy. The essence of life. It moves inside of us, it flows through our bodies. Give us power from within. I get it. Like The Force in Star Wars. You're Yoda and I'm like... I'm like a Jedi. Is this where you learned kung fu? Yes. Everything good about me was born here. Xiao Dre, you can leave your backpack and skateboard here. So where we going? We journey to the top of the mountain. Drink from the Dragon Well. Dragon Well. It's probably closer than it is than looking at it. Right? Are we there yet? Soon. How do you say water in Chinese? Shui. I need some shui. I'm really thirsty. I'm thirsty, Mr Han. Water on top of the mountain. (BIRDS SQUAWK/TWITTER) Xiao Dre. The journey is complete. Is this the Dragon Well? Yes. I stood here with my father when I was your age. He told me it's magic kung fu water. You drink, and nothing can defeat you. (GASPS) Whoa! It's the best water I've ever tasted. Did you see the lady with the snake? Yes. She was doing the cobra thing. She was, like, copying the snake, and it was, like, right here. And she was like... You did not watch closely enough, Xiao Dre. The snake was copying the woman. What? I don't get it. Look. What do you see? Me. Well, my reflection. Yes. Now what do you see? It's blurry. Yes. The woman was like still water. Quiet, calm. In here and in here. So, the snake reflects her action, like still water. Like a mirror. Yes. So she controlled a snake by doing nothing? Being still and doing nothing are two very different things. She used her chi on that snake, didn't she? Very good. You've gotta teach me that, like, how to control people. There's only one person you need to learn how to control. Who? Empty your mind. Flow with my movement. Connect to the energy around you. I kind of just wanna learn the cobra thing. Cobra takes a lifetime. Requires great focus. But I have great focus. Oh, my God. Mr Han? Your focus needs more focus. Mr Han? (TRAIN HORN) Thank you, Mr Han. There is no such thing as fortune cookies in China? Dre, please be careful crossing the street. You scared the life out of me the other day. Pedestrians do not have the right of way. And the symbols. I can't get the symbols right on the bathrooms. I stay walking into the men's restroom. The other day, there was this 90-year-old Chinese man. He thought he was gonna get a little treat. Dre, please stop that! You look crazy! Here, eat your noodles. (YELPS IN PAIN) Up. Mr Han, what's going on? Agh! Whoa! Anticipation. I can't... Agh! Don't see it, feel it. Agh! Damn it, Mr. Han! I felt that one! Mr Han! What? (YELPS IN PAIN) Concentrate. OK? OK. Do I get the stick now? Whoa! Ouch. Dre, you OK? I'm OK! So, Mr Han, what time we training tomorrow? Xiao Dre, we are not training tomorrow. Why not? (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) Means, "Too much something is not good. " You train a lot. You need rest. A day off? Yes, Mr Han. Yes. Xiao Dre needs to rest. Yes, Mr Han. You rest, too. Love you, Mr Han. Peace! You forgot this. Hey. Are you OK? My audition is tomorrow at six. But isn't that what you've been practising for? Yes, of course. Don't worry. You got it. What if they don't pick me? (SCHOOL BELL) Mei Ying, wait! OK, first of all, I'm gonna be there with you. And B, all you have to do is what your teacher says. Play the pauses. It's easy, watch. See? (GIGGLES) I have to practise. Wait. (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) What? I'm starting to think you don't speak Chinese. (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) Too much of good stuff is bad stuff? Oh. (SAYS THE PHRASE CORRECTLY) Yeah. (REPEATS THE PHRASE) Come on. Where are we going? Dang, have you been to the gym? No! Come on, we're gonna go have some fun. Come on, I know you want to go have some fun. # Bang Bang - K'naan, Adam Levine # Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone # You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly # Then she aimed at my chest with love in her eye # Then she aimed at my chest with love in her eye # She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun # Ready to fire me a hot one # It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart # She shot me, she shot me bang, bang, she shot me...

My father is coming to get me. # Flight of the Bumblebee - Rimsky-Korsakov # Nocturne For Piano No 20 In C Sharp Minor - Chopin Excuse me! (CLAPS) Hey, she's totally gonna get in, right?

(SHATTERING GLASS) (SMASHING/SHATTERING GLASS) (SMASHES THE WINDSCREEN) Mr Han! Mr Han! We no train today. What are you doing? It's June 8th. Why'd you break the car? His name was Gong Gong. Xiao Dre, how old are you? 12. He was ten. He was so beautiful. Her name was Zhang. She was a singer. Not professional. She sang only for me. (SOBS/SINGS IN MANDARIN) What happened? (EXHALES SHARPLY) It was a steep hill. Lots of rain. The car just... I was driving. We argue about something. I was so angry. I lost control. I try to remember. I cannot remember what we argue about. I hope it was something important. Every year, I fix the car. Still fix nothing. (SOBS) (POIGNANT MUSIC) (SOBS) (POIGNANT MUSIC) (UPLIFTING MUSIC) (POIGNANT MUSIC) (HEARTWARMING MUSIC) (MUSIC SWELLS) (BOTH SHOUT) (HEARTWARMING MUSIC) Good. Punch. (SHOUTS) Good. (SHOUTS WITH EFFORT) Mr Han. Down! Faster! One more. Come here! Win or lose, doesn't matter. Fight hard. Earn respect. Boys leave you alone. Have present for you. Oh! Mr Han! Man! This is the one Bruce Lee had. Great. Thank you. You have taught me a very important lesson, Xiao Dre. Life will knock us down. But we can choose whether or not to get back up. You're the best friend I ever had, Mr Han. OK. Wait, can you help me with something? (DOORBELL) Dre? Is your dad home? That's it. (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) "My daughter told me that she made a promise to be at your tournament." "In our family, we do not break our promises." Good luck. Xie xie. Rock and roll. (BELL RINGS) (CHEERING/APPLAUSE) Hi! (CHEERING/APPLAUSE) (THEY SPEAK IN MANDARIN) We're up. What's that? Rulebook. You don't know the rules? Of course I know the rules. Simple. You hit him, don't let him hit you. What? Mr Han. They're gonna kill me. Ah, two points to win. Go. Hit him two times. Focus, focus. Come on. (REFEREE SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) (REFEREE SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) That's a warning. You cannot run out of the mat. Next time, you lose a point. Go. Hey, be strong. Come on, Dre. (CROWD BOOS) Good job. Next time, no face. I'm sorry, I can't help it. OK, OK, OK. Next point, winner. Come on, baby! (CHEERING/APPLAUSE) Yeah! (# Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers plays throughout) (CROWD CHEERS) (CROWD CHEERS) That's right, baby! Go. (CROWD CHEERS) (CROWD CHEERS) (CHEERING) From now on, semi-final matches. Three points to win. Be kind of hot if I won this thing, right, Mr Han? Be kind of hot if you focus. Yeah, well, after that. (SPEAKS MANDARIN) (WHISPERS IN MANDARIN) Empty your mind. Focus. (CROWD ROARS) (SCREAMS IN PAIN) (SHOUTS IN AGONY) (CROWD BOOS) Be still. Xiao Dre. (MOANS IN AGONY) You OK? Don't move. Don't move. (GASPS IN PAIN) (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) Doctor says you did great. Xie xie. You OK, baby? Yeah, I'm OK. Can you guys give us a second? Yeah, OK. Sure, baby, whatever you need. Do you think I could have won? Win or lose doesn't matter, Xiao Dre. You know that's not what I mean. Yes. I think you had a good chance. So let's do the fiery cup thing. You don't need to fight anymore. You have proven everything you need to prove. What, that I can get beat up easy and then quit? That's not balance. That's not real kung fu. You said that when life knocks you down, you could choose whether or not to get back up. I'm trying to get back up, and why won't you help me? Because I cannot watch you get hurt anymore. Please, Mr Han. Please. Just tell me, Xiao Dre, why? Why you need to go back out there so badly? Because I'm still scared. No matter what happens, tonight, when I leave, I don't want to be scared anymore. (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) (CROWD ERUPTS) Xiao Dre. (PANTS) Come on, Dre. You can do this, Dre. (SCREAMS WITH DELIGHT) (CROWD CHEERS) Whoa! You OK? Yeah. I'm OK. (YELPS IN PAIN) (SCREAMS IN AGONY) (WHIMPERS IN PAIN) (CROWD CHANTS) (CROWD ROARS) Whoo! (CROWD NOISE FADES) (CROWD ROARS) (SCREAMS) You won! (CROWD ERUPTS) (SCREAMS) Dre! Dre! I'm so proud of you! (SPEAKS IN MANDARIN) (CHEERING/APPLAUSE)
