Bill: |
| [00:02.71] |
Once upon a time... |
| [00:03.48] |
...in China... |
| [00:03.98] |
...some believe around the year... |
| [00:05.86] |
|
| [00:07.69] |
...head priest of the White Lotus Clan, Pai Mei, was walking down a road... |
| [00:13.63] |
...contemplating whatever it is that a man of Pai Mei's infinite powers would contemplate ... |
| [00:19.44] |
...which is another way of saying, "Who knows?" |
| [00:22.54] |
... when a Shaolin monk appeared on the road... |
| [00:25.58] |
... traveling in the opposite direction... |
| [00:28.06] |
... As the monk and the priest crossed paths... |
| [00:36.22] |
...Pai Mei... |
| [00:36.59] |
...in a practically unfathomable display of generosity, gave the monk the slightest of nods... |
| [00:41.59] |
...The nod... |
| [00:44.61] |
...was not returned... |
| [00:45.93] |
...Now, was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei? ... |
| [00:57.04] |
...Or did he just fail to see the generous social gesture? |
| [01:00.76] |
...The motives of the monk remain unknown... |
| [01:05.50] |
...What is known... |
| [01:09.43] |
...were the consequences... |
| [01:10.75] |

| [01:16.63] |
The next morning, Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin temple... |
| [01:21.71] |
...and demanded of the temple's head abbot... |
| [01:24.12] |
...that he offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult... |
| [01:28.82] |
...The abbot, at first, tried to console Pai Mei... |
| [01:32.66] |
...Only to find Pai Mei was... |
| [01:34.31] |
...inconsolable... |
| [01:36.34] |
(Bill plays the flute) |
| [01:45.70] |
Bill: |
| [01:46.01] |
...So began... |
| [01:46.78] |
...the Massacre of the Shaolin Temple, and all sixty of the monks inside, at the fists of the White Lotus. |
| [01:49.26] |
...And... |
| [01:54.36] |
...so began the legend... |
| [01:56.96] |
...of Pai Mei's Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique... |
| [02:02.32] |
The Bride: |
| [02:02.80] |
And what, pray tell, is the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique?... |
| [02:06.15] |
