Song by David Carradine and Uma Thurman<br /><br>

David Carradine:<br>

Once upon a time in China<br>

Some believe around the year, one-double aught-three.<br>

Head priest of The White Lotus Clan Pai Mei<br>

Was walking down the road<br>

Contemplating whatever a man with Pai Mei's infinite power would contemplate<br>

Which is another way of saying, who knows.<br>

When, a Shaolin monk appeared on the road traveling in the opposite direction.<br>

<br>

As the monk and the priest crossed paths...<br>

Pai Mei in a practically unfathomable display of generosity<br>

Gave the monk the slightest of nods.<br>

The nod, was not returned.<br>

<br>

Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei ?<br>

Or, did he just fail to see the generous social gesture?<br>

The motives of the monk, remain unknown.<br>

What is known, were the consequences.<br>

<br>

The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple,<br>

And demanded that the temple's head Abbot offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult.<br>

The Abbot, at first, tried to console Pai Mei, only to find, Pai Mei was inconsolable.<br>

<br>

So began, the massacre of the Shaolin Temple,<br>

And all sixty of the monks inside,<br>

At the fists of the White Lotus.<br>

And so began, the legend of Pai Mei's Five-Point Palm<br>

Exploding Heart Technique.<br>

<br>

Uma Thurman :<br>

And what praytell<br>

Is a five-point palm<br>

Exploding heart technique? <br>

<br>
