A scene from Kill Bill: Volume 2 2004
The Bride

Master …

Pai Mei

Your Mandarin is lousy. It causes my ears great discomfort. You bray like an ass! You are not to speak unless spoken to. Is it too much to hope … you understand Cantonese?

The Bride

I speak Japanese very well …

Pai Mei

I didn't ask if you speak Japanese … I asked if you understand Cantonese?

The Bride

A little.

Pai Mei

You are here to learn the mysteries of Kung Fu, not linguistics. If you can't understand me, I will communicate with you like I would a dog! When I yell, when I point, when I beat you with my stick! [strokes his beard] Bill is your master, is he not?

The Bride

Yes, he is.

Pai Mei

Your master tells me … you're not entirely unschooled. What training do you possess?

The Bride

I am proficient in Tiger-Crane Style, and I am more than proficient in the exquisite art of the Samurai sword.

Pai Mei

Hmph! The exquisite art of the Samurai sword. Don't make me laugh! Your so-called exquisite art is only fit for … Japanese fatheads! [laughs] Your anger amuses me. Do you believe you are my match?

The Bride

No.

Pai Mei

Are you aware I kill at will?

The Bride

Yes.

Pai Mei

Is it your wish to die?

The Bride

No!

Pai Mei

[laughs]

Then you must be stupid … so stupid! Rise, and let me look at your ridiculous face. Rise. So, my pathetic friend … is there anything that you can do well? What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Oh yes, you speak Japanese. [yells] I despise the goddamn Japs!
