Detective James Carter

For your information, I'm half-Chinese now. That's right, Lee. For the last three years, I've studied the ancient teaching of Buddha, earning two black belts in Wushu martial arts, spending every afternoon at the Garden Massage Parlor in Pico and Bundy. I'm half-Chinese, baby.

Detective James Carter

In case you missed it, man, people are trying to kill me! I'm covered in shit and some French cops whupped my ass with some yellow pages, man. So don't tell me it ain't none of my business!

Detective James Carter

Fine. I'm not your brother.

Detective James Carter

Lee, I'm in trouble. I need some assistance!

Detective James Carter

Sister, you tell this piece of S-word that I will personally F-word him up.

I wouldn't say nothing. He has me. His brother from another mother.

You Asian! Stop humiliating yourself!

We almost killed your ass! Why you didn't move? I would like for you to meet our dates for tonight, Marsha and Zoe. Fat one's yours.

Lee

If you're half-Chinese, I'm half-black. I'm your brother and I'm fly. You down with that, Snoopy? That's dope, isn't it?

Carter

Sorry, Lee. You can't be black. There's a height requirement.

Carter

You know what I think? I think you feel sorry for this guy. Maybe Kenji didn't get away in L.A. Maybe you let him go.

Lee

The Yakuza killed his family in Tokyo. He was sent to China when he was seven. He was put in Chenzou, the orphanage where I grew up. We kept each other alive.

Carter

You protected each other and you still protecting him.

Lee

I called him Shoung Dih. He was like my brother. And then, I left him.

Carter

You were adopted. What choice did you have?

Lee

He ended up on the streets. You could never understand.

Carter

I understand. I got a brother, too. My little brother, Perry. We used to be best friends. Now we don't even speak. He thinks I tipped off the cops about the chicken fights in his garage. Can you believe that? My own brother think I'm a snitch. Just because my chicken lost in the semifinals. I didn't even really care.

Lee

Carter.

Carter

He had to fight a chicken that didn't make his weight. And he still went the distance. He had a lot of heart. And he was delicious.

Lee

It's best if I do this on my own. This fight's personal.

Carter

Look, I'm-a help you, man. And I'm-a tell you right now. Whatever Kenji's trying to tell you, it ain't true. He ain't your brother.

Lee

And you're not my brother.

Carter

Fine. I'm not your brother.

Yu

May I help you?

Carter

We'll be askin' the questions, old man. Who are you?

Yu

Just answer the damn questions, who are you?

Yu

Carter

Are you deaf?

Yu

No, Yu is blind.

Carter

I'm not blind, you blind.

Yu

That is what I just said.

Carter

You just said what?

Yu

I did not say what, I said Yu!

Carter

That's what I'm askin' you!

Yu

And Yu is answering!

Carter

Shut up! (turns to personnel) You!

Yu

Yes?

Carter

No, not you, him! (to personnel) What's yo' name?

Mi

Mi.

Carter

Yes, YOU!

Mi

I am Mi!

He is Mi, and I am Yu.

Carter

And I'm about to whoop your old ass, man, 'cause I'm sick of playin' games! (points to everyone in the room) You, me, everybody's ass around here! (points to tall student) Him--I'm-a kick his ass, I'm sick of this!

Detective James Carter
[To Lee, as they ride the elevator to their rooms]

It's all your fault. How come you didn't tell me about Kenji?

[Clearly upset]

It was none of your business.

In cased you missed it, man; people are trying to kill me! I'm covered in shit and some French cops whooped my ass with some yellow pages, man. So don't tell me it ain't none of my business.
