We're gonna look like idiots.

I don't know. I just want to shake his hand.

-You're gonna tell sifu Lee?

-Probably not.

Excuse me.

Ni hao.

No.

Thank you.

Perhaps another time.

I'm... I beg your pardon.

You just asked me to shine your shoes.

Vinnie! Um...

A friend of mine was playing a joke.

A joke, do you...

Yes, I understand.

What may I do for you, Mr. mckee?

Master wong, I just want to

welcome you to America.

Did someone send a car for you?

I hardly merit such luxury.

You are master wong Jack man, aren't you,

from the Shaolin temple?

Yes.

Well, can I give you a lift?

-Thanks for the lift.

-Yeah, no problem.

Master wong, I'm...

I'm just wondering, it would be an honor

if you would perhaps give me

a lesson one day or...

You do not have a master?

I belong to the kune of sifu Bruce Lee.

Yes. I have heard of Lee jun-fan.

Yeah?

If you are a student of sifu Lee,

I doubt there is anything I can teach you.

-See you, man.

-You prick.

I finally meet a living legend

and I ask him to shine my shoes?

Could have been worse.

Really? How?

I could have taught you to say,

"i hear you have a tiny dick."

Hey, wait.

Watch your mouth in here.

And what do you mean,

you finally met a living legend?

You see me every day.

I'm sorry, sifu.

I was talking about wong Jack man.

-What the hell are you talking about?

-Sifu, mouth!

Shut up, Vinnie! How did you meet him?

I heard he was coming to San Francisco.

And I went to, you know,

meet him to shake his hand.

Did he say what he is doing here?

He said he came to observe.

Observe what?

He didn't say, sifu,

but he did tell me he heard of you.

So, the Shaolin

sent wong Jack man to spy on me.

Why would they do that?

When I was a toadae of

sifu yip man in Hong Kong.

Shaolin found out

my grandmother was white.

You know what they did?

They made him stop teaching.

So when I come to America,

i open up my kune for everybody.

Maybe Shaolin don't forgive me for that.

You really think master wong

came because you teach whites?

Why else would he be here?

Where they heck did you learn that?

I'm learning it now.

But trust me...

I will get better.

Hey! You're going out the back.

We got reservations, fung. Dig the threads.

And no joyriding.

My mom checks the mileage.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Can't afford this.

Just order some rice.

Yeah, but they charge by the grain.

I just want to get this message to her.

It's in English.

Yeah, she speaks English.

But she don't read English, give me that.

Don't. What are you doing?

I'm gonna write this in Chinese.

There she is.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yes, sir?

Do you think I could get

a clean napkin, please?
