[00:02.49]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](Bill plays the flute)
[01:12.16]Bill:
[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?...
