can anybody do it?

I told you.

It's secret chink stuff.

aaaaah!

sh*t.

- you okay?

- yeah, I'm all right.

you see that? you see how it flowed?

be like water.

water's the softest stuff

in the world...

but it can fit

into any container.

It seems weak,

but it can penetrate rock.

be like the nature

of water.

that's it for today.

friday we spar, eh?

- all right.

- all right.

- hi, guys.

- hi, linda.

- hi. hi.

- hi.

Is this class

only for guys?

'cause it looks like

you only teach guys.

I teach whoever wants to learn.

usually guys are the ones

interested in fighting.

I've dated some

of these animals.

- I've done plenty of fighting.

- ha ha.

- ooh!

but seriously, I'd like

to take lessons.

how about friday?

that's a date.

no, that's an appointment.

- there's a difference.

- see ya, bruce.

- bye, guys.

- bye, linda.

emotion can be the enemy.

If you give in to emotion,

you can lose yourself.

be at one

with your emotions...

because the body

always follows the mind.

this is not about winning.

this is about perfection.

then why all those

colored belts?

the only thing belts are good for

is to hold your pants up.

okay, let's spar,

shall we?

um, linda?

linda and...

linda and me, I guess.

come, linda.

go get 'em, linda.

- remember reference? okay.

- mm-hmm.

set?

you're open.

I saw it coming.

- uhh!

- yeah!

there you go. you see?

It isn't size or strength that matters.

It's focus.

you all have a chi, an inner spirit.

focus and then there's nothing

you cannot bend to your will.

like you just saw.

find your reference points

and square off.

good.

I kinda

like this position.

then say "yes"

to a date.

- all of us?

- no, just you and me.

- why?

- why?

- yeah, why? why me?

- 'cause I already fell for you.

premier nikita khrushchev made his

first visit to the berlin wall today.

with his entourage,

he surveyed the structure...

- which has made a division--

- bye, mom! I'm going bowling!

- I'm not deaf.

- I'm sorry.

- you're going where?

- I'm going bowling.

- have fun. not too late, now.

- okay. nope.

bowling, for christ's sakes, emery?

couldn't you think

of something better? bowling?

give me a break, sherry.

I needed the bag.

hey, watch that upholstery!

It's my father's car.

okay! watch the road!

I don't believe you.

oh. you think he likes blue?

do you think this dress

is too wrinkled?

all this

for a chinese guy.

I can't believe you're going out

with a chinese guy.

well, let me tell ya,

if you met him...

you'd get it.

I don't think I could kiss

somebody who wasn't white.

l-I just don't think

I could do that.

I'll try and live with that thought.

I really will.

- you'd kiss him?

- kiss him? at least.

you'd let him put his tongue

in your mouth. a chinese guy.

who knows? maybe more.

you are so low, emery.

you pretend to be this jock...

but you're a, a beatnik.

ooh. pass me the bongos,

daddy-o.

hi.

- you look great.

- thanks.

- blue looks good on you.

- I'm glad you like it.

you look really good yourself.

I've never seen you

with so many clothes on.

- wanna get a table?

- yeah. okay.

lee. we have

reservations at 8:00.

I'm sorry. I don't have

a table right now.

perhaps you'd like

to sit at the bar.

- okay. thank you.

- okay.

a philosophy major. now what can

you do with a philosophy major?

you can think deep thoughts

about being unemployed.

you're such a good teacher. have you

ever thought about teaching kung fu?

what do you think

I've been doing?

no, but I mean really going for it.

In the american way.

making a business.

a chain, like mcdonald's.

I like teaching, but--

oh, sure, it's fun to throw

helpless girls on the floor.

seriously, I like the way

it changes people.

you can't change people

with your fists. I've learned that.

see, they see something strange,

something they don't understand...

and they get afraid.

teach them the beauty of that strange

thing and they're no longer afraid...

because it's become

part of them.

well, sometimes strange things

can be very beautiful.

excuse me.

It's been half an hour and I still

see people being seated ahead of us.

come, don't exaggerate.

It's been barely twenty minutes.

like to have

our check, please.

- I was thinking.

- what were you thinking?

I'd like to take you

someplace else...

someplace good.

thank you.
