Bulletproof Monk Page #5

Synopsis: For 60 years a mysterious monk with no name has zigzagged the globe to protect an ancient scroll - a scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. Now the Monk must look for a new scrollkeeper. Kar is an unlikely candidate, a streetwise young man whose only interest is himself. But when he inadvertently saves the Bulletproof Monk from capture, the two become partners in a scheme to save the world from the scroll's most avid pursuer. Packed with spectacular special effects and martial arts action, the Monk, Kar, and a sexy Russian mob princess called Bad Girl must struggle to find, face, and fight the ultimate enemy.

why I've been keeping

everything about myself secret.

Because the street is the one place

where I can earn my own respect.

He will battle for love

in the Palace of Jade.

Two out of three.

Two out of three what?

Prophecies.

Look out!

Clever.

Careful with that body of his. It's priceless.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

They must have found your address

when they killed Kojima.

We need to get moving.

Where the hell are we supposed to go?

The Human Rights Organization

downtown.

That's crazy.

That b*tch who just wrecked my house,

she's the executive director there.

I was there this morning

for an exhibit opening.

My dad always told me

that the best place to hide

is the last place that they would expect.

And the Human Rights Organization

is the last place anyone

would ever expect to find

some of the biggest

human rights abusers in history.

Thanks. I gotta do this on my own.

Monk's the only family I got.

I can help.

(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)

How do you like my armor-plated car, Kar?

We can use the subway

to reach the old water main,

which will get us into

the Human Rights building from below.

Jeez! That's a nice collection of toys

your father keeps in the garage.

Who said these are my dad's?

NINA:
My grandfather used to tell me

stories about you when I was a little girl.

I used to think you were a myth,

something he made up

to lull me to sleep at night.

And then one day,

he showed me these.

Ever wonder how he kept finding you

after all these years?

Oh, my name's Nina, by the way.

You don't have a name, do you?

That's kind of sexy.

How far down do these tattoos go,

I wonder?

(UNZIPS PANTS)

That far.

Well, I guess I'll have to scan it all,

every inch. Oh, well.

Big job. Someone's got to do it.

(BUZZING)

You know, we might not make it

out of this thing alive.

Out of my car?

You got a lot of guts

for coming with me on this insane ride.

Guts and insanity.

Interesting mix.

Not making it out of this thing alive

that would really suck

under the circumstances.

Yeah.

Definitely.

(RATTLING)

Look at me, monk.

For you, the years were nothing,

but I withered and grew old.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

But all that is about to change. Nina.

(BEEPING)

(SPEAKING TIBETAN)

(GUNS FIRING)

(TIRES SQUEAL)

(ALARM SOUNDING)

(STRUCKER READING)

Find out what's going on, Nina.

Now!

(ALARM ECHOING)

(SHOUTING)

(SCREAMING)

(BEEPING)

Kaboom.

You two, to the right.

Don't move!

Guys,

it's not about anger. It's about peace.

(GRUNTING)

You do have potential.

(GROANING)

The monk is down here. I can feel it.

And now, the last verse.

(RECITING IN TIBETAN)

Where

Where is the rest of it?

Where is the last verse of the scroll?

Where is it?

I memorized it.

Just in case someone like you

managed to get this far.

Fine.

(ELECTRICITY SURGING)

(RUMBLING)

Oh, sh*t. We gotta move!

Get up!

Come on!

Kar!

(GROANS)

Hello, my dear.

Fancy meeting you here.

(GRUNTING)

Now you will tell me what I want to know.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(SCREAMS)

You know, this is getting very annoying.

(MOANS)

(RUMBLING)

You okay?

I'm okay.

Let's go back there and finish him off.

I'll fight him myself.

You're not ready.

Oh, really? I rescued you, didn't I?

(GROANS)

Kar, stay back!

No way.

Kar!

Oh, my God.

(GROANING)

The last verse

or I destroy you.

Destroy me,

and the scroll will be gone forever.

(CREAKING)

You may be willing to sacrifice yourself,

but are you willing to watch him die first?

The last verse

or I drop him.

Kar, remember.

You can beat him.

If I can't have it,

I will take you and the scroll with me.

For 60 years,

I have given you the chance to change.

I will never change!

(SCREAMING)

Hey.

Hey.

It's over?

Not yet.

You are the next, Kar.

When you rescued them

you fulfilled the third prophecy.

My time has ended. Yours has come.

(WIND HOWLING)

(WHISPERING)

It is done.

Look out!

(CREAKING)

(GASPS)

Jade?

(SIRENS WAILING)

MASTER MONK:
He will defeat

an army of enemies

while a flock of cranes circles above.

JADE:
Come on.

I'm bored with beating on this loser.

He will battle for love

in the Palace of Jade.

He will free the brothers he never knew

with the family he never had.

You both fulfilled the prophecies.

Not two lives that are incomplete,

one complete life.

(THE WAY YOU DREAM PLAYING)

I guess you're not the only one

that's bulletproof.

Kar.

Your preparation is complete.

Except for one last thing.

The final verse of the scroll.

And the second part.

Now you are inseparable.

A unity of opposites.

Enjoy your vacation.

What are you doing?

Checking to see nothing is missing.

I remember the first hug you gave me.

(JADE LAUGHING)

KAR:
Hey.

So, I figured it out.

Why hot dogs come in packages of ten

and hot dog buns

come in packages of eight.

See, the thing is

that life doesn't always work out

according to plan.

So be happy with what you've got.

Because you can always get a hot dog.

You got it.
