Kung Fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Dre
It lives in how we put on ajacket
How we take off the jacket
It 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 license?
Yes
So you have a license,
And a car
And we're on a train
Please be quiet
I'm just saying...
Seems like we coulïve save 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
Evolves inside of us
Flows through our bodies
Gives 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.
(Crowd Chatting)
Is this where you learnt Kung Fu?
Yes
Everything about me was born here
Xiao Dre, you've gotta leave the black guy skate board here.
So where are we going?
The journey to the top of the mountain.
Into the Dragon Wheel.
Dragon wheel?
Is probably closer than it is.
Looking at it
Right?
Are we there yet?
Soon
How do you say water in chinese?
Xui...
I need some "Xui. "
I'm really...
Thirsty.
(Exclaiming)
I'm thirsty, Mr. Han
Water on the top of the mountain.
Xiao Dre
The journey is complete
Is this the Dragon Wheel?
Yes
I stood here
With my father
When I was your age
He told me
This is magic Kung Fu water
You drink...
then nothing can defeat you
The best water I've ever tasted.
Did you see the lady with the snake?
She was like...
Copying the snake and it moves 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.
My own reflection.
Yes.
Now, what do you see?
Is blurry.
Yes.
The woman was like still water.
Quiet.
Calm.
In here and in here.
So...
The snake.
Reflects her actions.
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 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 movements.
Connect with the energy.
Around it.
I kindajust wanna learn the cobra thing.
Cobra.
Takes a life time.
Requires great focus.
But I have great focus.
Whoo...
Oh my God!
Mr. Han.
Your focus.
Needs more focus.
Mr. Han?
[Train whisteling]
[Soft mucis playing]
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 away.
And the symbols, I can't get the symbols right.
On the bathrooms.
I still walk in the men's restroom.
The other day I walked in.
There was this ninety years old chinese man.
He thought he was gonna get a little treat.
Dre, please stop that! You look crazy.
Here, eat your noodles!
[Music playing]
