David Carradine:
Once upon a time in China
Some believe around the year, one-double knot-three
Head priest of The White Lotus Clan Pai Mei
Was walking down the road
Contemplating whatever a man with Pai Mei's infinite power would contemplate
Which is another way of saying, who knows
When, a Shaolin monk appeared on the road traveling in the opposite direction

As the monk and the priest crossed paths
Pai Mei in a practically unfathomable display of generosity
Gave the monk the slightest of nods
The nod, was not returned

Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei ?
Or, did he just fail to see the generous social gesture?
The motives of the monk, remain unknown
What is known, were the consequences

The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple,
and demanded that the temple's head Abbot offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult
The Abbot, at first, tried to console Pai Mei, only to find, Pai Mei was inconsolable

So began, the massacre of the Shaolin Temple,
And all sixty of the monks inside,
at the fists of the White Lotus
And so began, the legend of Pai Mei's Ten-Point Palm
Exploding Heart Technique

Uma Thurman :
And what praytell
Is a ten-point palm
Exploding heart technique?
