Page 2 of 4[Walking down subway tunnel with Monk With No Name following after rescuing a little girl from getting run over by a train]
You son of a bitch. You just lost my whole stash.
Be happy. You helped save a human life.
Yeah, well, last time I checked there's no reward for that. Tell me, how did you do that back there?
Practice.
That's not the question you need to ask. You should be asking yourself who you are. Your mind is filled with compassion. That's why you risked your life to help the child. But your mind is also impure. So you forget the spiritual reward and think only of the financial. Well, if you're so pure, why were all those guys in suits chasing you?
It doesn't concern you.
Let me guess, FBI, CIA, INS.
I said it doesn't concern you.
Unbelievable. [Walks off]
I'm sorry! [Kar stops, walks back with Monk With No Name walking up] Every man's life concerns every other man, especially if he is on the noble path to true enlightenment. [Extends a hand] Can you accept my apology?
Apology accepted. [Hugs Monk With No Name and steals Monk's scroll] Thanks for helping me.
No problem, man.
You must give up your name.
I have already forgotten it, Master.
[Leaving temple door]
It's time for me to do what I've always wanted to do ever since those pesky British showed up in 1904.
What's that, Master?
Take a vacation. [Gets shot by Waffen-SS]
So, this is the Golden Palace where you learn how to fight.
What the hell are you doing here?
I should have known from your sloppy technique.
This is my place, okay? Get out right now.
An enlightened man would offer a humble traveler shelter for the night and share a quiet conversation over a bowl of Cocoa Puffs.
Really? [Places bottle on counter, and walks up to Monk] Well, I guess I ain't that enlightened. 'Cause I was thinking more of kicking your freaky ass back to wherever the hell it comes from.
[Walk round Kar]
For someone who says he wants to kick my freaky ass, you do a lot of talking.
Okay. Fine. Guess I can't make you get out.
I overheard people calling you Kar.
Spelled with a K. It's Cantonese.
Funny. You don't look Cantonese.
It means “family”, okay? I figure I never had one growing up, but from now on I'll never be without it.
I'm afraid you are mispronouncing your name, sir. It should sound more like “Ga”.
Look, it's my name, okay? I'll pronounce it however I want. What about you? What's your name?
I don't have one.
What do you mean?
You gave yourself a name. I gave mine up.
You must learn the unity of opposites. Be mobile and stationary. Defensive and offensive. You attack with all the wrong weapons, Kar. It is not about anger. It's about peace. [Kar makes amateurish martal arts fighting poses, then the Monk With No Name grabs Kar's finger and twists Kar's arm with him groaning] It's not about power. It's about grace. It's not about knowing your enemy. It's all about knowing yourself.
How'd you do that?
The air. You can't see it, but it fills your lungs. It's as real as blood or flesh or bone or earth, or water. Once you realize this, you treat the air the same way. You step on it as you would a stone. You swim through it as you would the sea. And all you have to do is believe.
Believe what? The laws of gravity don't exist?
If you truly believe that they don't, then they don't.
[Kar walking in parking lot]
Approaches Congratulations on your victory. Though, technically, you were saved by a girl. It was your charm that convinced the girl to lead them away.
Hey, Mr. Do-gooder, if you were watching the whole thing back there, how come you didn't help me out?
Because you stole from me.
Oh, yeah. That.
But your fighting is very impressive. Where do you study?
Golden Palace.
Golden Palace? You studied with the venerable fighting monks of Jinn Gong?
Whatever, man. Look, it's been really great spending more quality time with you and all that, but I gotta run, okay? Sorry about stealing your whatever the hell that is. Good luck with that enlightenment stuff. [Walks off]
The most undisciplined youth I have ever laid eyes on.
[Over the discovery of Mr. Kojima's body]
Kar, over here. I'm sorry, Kar. I should have never gotten you involved. I just...
You just what?
I had a crazy notion that maybe you could fulfill a prophecy once told to me by another old man before he died. They are never going to stop until they get me and the scroll. Go someplace safe and forget about all of this.
[Nina enters and walks up to at film concession counter]
Hello there. Sorry, but the show's been delayed. Can I offer you popcorn? On the house.
No, thanks. [Holds up badge] Health Department.
You have a young man working for you. He lives here. You're aware that's a serious violation of health and safety codes?
I don't know what you're talking about
[Slams a vintage film reel case labeled “Golden Palace” on concession counter]
Does that jog your memory?
I'm calling the cops, you crazy bitch. [Reaches for phone]
[Goes around and uses phone cord to strangle Mr. Kojima, whispering]
Oh, I'm not crazy, but I am a bitch.
I memorized it. Just in case someone like you managed to get this far.
An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a quiet conversation over a bowl of Cocoa Puffs.
And by the way, I got the answer to your little question from last night. [The monk inquires curtly] Yeah. Check this out. The reason hot dogs come in packages of ten but hot dog buns come in packages of just eight is so you'll always need more buns for your hot dogs. Because no matter how much you get, how much you achieve, how many times you win... You can never, ever let yourself feel like it's enough. [The monk bluntly disagrees]
And I am through taking your messages. My name is Kokijima. Not Sony, Sanyo, Toshiba.
Did you really think I was going to share ultimate power with you?
Enough with all this fortune-cookie philosophy, okay? This is America. We don't have enlightenment here. We have Big Macs, strip clubs, shopping malls, Las Vegas and HBO! You got it?
