the cafeteria!
What do you mean there's a fight?
I mean, Jackson and Bryce are going at it!
Okay, everyone stay calm. Let's go check it out.
*As they rush to the cafeteria, the chaos unfolds before them. Students are shouting, and the tension is palpable.*
Mr. Wang: Alright, break it up! What is going on here?
*The students slowly disperse, but the animosity lingers in the air.*
Jackson: He started it!
Bryce: No, you did!
Mr. Wang: Enough! I want both of you to sit down and talk this out.
*The two boys reluctantly take their seats, glaring at each other.*
Mr. Wang: Now, I want you both to explain what happened.
Jackson: He was making fun of my music!
Bryce: I was just joking around!
Mr. Wang: Joking or not, it’s not okay to put someone down. We’re all here to support each other.
*The other students nod in agreement, realizing the importance of unity.*
Mr. Wang: I want you both to think about how your words affect others. We’re going to have a class discussion about respect and kindness.
*As the discussion unfolds, the students begin to open up about their struggles and experiences, fostering a sense of understanding and empathy.*
Mr. Wang: Remember, it’s important to treat others the way you want to be treated.
*The bell rings, signaling the end of class, but the students leave with a newfound sense of camaraderie.*
*Later that day, Mr. Wang reflects on the progress he’s made with the students. He knows it won’t be easy, but he’s determined to help them succeed.*
Mr. Wang: *to himself* I can do this. I just need to keep pushing forward and show them that they’re capable of greatness.
*As the weeks go by, Mr. Wang continues to implement creative teaching methods, and the students begin to thrive academically and socially. They learn to support one another, and the classroom atmosphere transforms into a positive and encouraging environment.*
*In the end, Mr. Wang realizes that teaching is not just about academics; it’s about building relationships and helping students find their paths in life.*
The cafeteria right now. We got to go! Come quick!
Okay, okay. Oh my God! Oh, oh, oh, oh! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Compassion, you get off! FY, do you have any idea what kind of trouble you're in?
Wait, how do you know? It's all Sebastian's fault!
Isn't it obvious? I mean, Barry's mother is the head of the pach. Yeah, he wouldn't start a fight.
That doesn't mean he's innocent. Who started this, Barry or Sebastian?
Oh really? You get out of here! All of you! Out! Go on!
This get sure is... Oh, you get out!
How do you want to handle this?
Like you said, you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
If you make the lame to walk, if you make the blind to see, if you make the mute to shout, then surely you can awaken me.
If you make the demons run, if you make the winds, you seas, if you make the dead to rise, then surely you can awaken me.
'Cause you break every box that I put you in. You exceed my assumptions again and again. Your love overcomes all my fears in the end.
Holy Spirit, awaken revival within. Awaken me! Awaken me! Awaken me! Awaken me!
If you make a story be, if you make the captives free, if you make all things new, then surely you can awaken me.
'Cause you break every box that I put you in. You exceed my assumptions again and again. Your love overcomes all my fears in the end.
Holy Spirit, awaken revival within. Awaken me! Awaken me! Awaken me!
It's crazy! My mom has never supported my music before, but ever since she came and saw me play, she's been like a completely different person.
Ooh, ooh! Tell me about it! I mean, I don't even know who my dad is anymore. He wants to hang out all the time, play sports together.
Uh, can I shoot around with you guys? I've never seen him leave his phone.
First time for everything! Yes! Come on, dude! Welcome to the big league!
I'm telling you, ever since Mr. Wiang started coming around, things are starting to feel different.
See, you guys are on our court again! Too bad Mr. Miyagi isn't here to save you guys this time!
That's funny! Yeah, we're not leaving this court!
Why don't you guys go find somewhere else to play? You're leaving this court voluntarily, or I'll make you!
What the heck? You want some, old man?
No! Here we go! Alright, let's get out of here!
Pull yourself together! That was in... We could have handled it ourselves!
Sebastian, if I could talk to you for a second.
So listen, son, how about your dad? I want you to know you can't blame yourself, okay? It's not your fault.
No, no! You don't know me like that! You don't know what I've been through!
Oh, I do. We were on our way to Legoland because I begged my parents to take me, but on the way there, a car crashed into us, and I lost both my parents on impact.
I don't know.
So I know how you feel, and you just can't blame yourself, okay? You just can't.
You guys are actually studying!
Like you said, we got to get our assessment scores up, right?
Since when did you all start listening to me?
Well, ever since we saw you as a Kung Fu legend!
You're famous, Mr. Wang!
Yeah, look, does anyone else know about this?
Mr. Wang, a word?
Fighting with a student? What were you thinking?
It was self-defense! I swear!
This doesn't look good at all. Lots of parents are calling in, which is why we're letting you go.
No, you can't! I'm finally breaking through to these kids! Just give me some time! I promise!
When I walked in, they were even studying for their assessment tests!
The decision's already been made. Follow us to the office for your termination papers.
They're letting Mr. Wang go! I don't want to lose him! What are we going to do?
There's only one thing we can do!
Yes! A 20-year-old student pilot was killed for...
What are you doing here?
Well, you've helped all our families, and we'd like to return the favor. Please, can you come with us? We have a little surprise for you.
Um, we haven't met. I'm Sebastian's mom. I just want to say that whatever you said to him, it worked! He even told me that he's going to try and go to Disney World again! So thank you very much!
This is for you. It's from Sebastian. He said that if he can let go of the past, so can you.
What's going on?
Well, we wanted to thank you in person because of your students and others you inspired. Edison got the highest average this school has seen on test assessments in over a decade!
Bravo!
Not only that, we were able to avoid future budget cuts, and we got our old budget back that we lost, so we could hire back the staff members that we laid off!
Mr. Wang, we all studied really hard to show you our appreciation and hoping that you'd come back.
That's why I was calling you. We want you back!
But I should add, you will not be teaching these students because they're doing so well.
That's right! Instead, you will be teaching Barry and his friends. They're on the brink of expulsion due to bad behavior. I think they can use all the help they can get.
Please don't hurt us, Mr. Wang! We're really sorry for everything!
Don't worry, I won't. As a wise person said, you attract a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
Hey, shrimp! Where's my lunch?
There it is! Don't you know stealing is dangerous, especially for little smelly shrimps like you?
Okay, that's 8:25. I'm so sorry, sweetie! No more credits! Do you have cash?
It's 8:25! I'm sorry! We just have money!
Don't even think about it, nerd! Nobody wants to see you on stage pretending to be tough, especially when they can see a real tough guy like me!
Orphan boy!
Ready?
Hi, good Jonathan!
Now, Sandy, when you get aggressive like that, you open yourself up to attack.
Okay, let's see it again! Fight!
Good!
Okay, sh...
Hey, Fletcher! Where have you been? School got out 20 minutes ago!
I know! I'm sorry about that! I got here as fast as I could!
Well, if you sweep as fast as you walk, we're going to be here all night! So let's go! Get to work fast!
What, did you pack any food for me?
Why? You didn't eat your lunch? Didn't I give you three bucks this morning?
What did you spend it on, you little brat? Huh?
If you don't start eating your lunch, they're going to think I'm a bad foster dad and take you away! Then I will lose my monthly check! Is that what you want, huh?
Now you want this? Go! If you want to eat tomorrow, be here on time!
Florence!
Victory!
Hey, quit daydreaming and get back to work!
Let me give you a little advice. You are a scrawny little nobody, so no matter what you do, you're not going to be a ninja or a samurai or a black belt, okay?
But you know what you could do? Get me a clean floor! You can start with this! Hurry up!
Not bad, but you can use a little guidance. You're welcome to come in if you like.
Okay, Fletcher, closing time! Go collect all the change from the machines!
Don't even think about it! I knew I should have never taken a scrawny little orphan like you! You're all a bunch of thieves!
Now take the trash out back! Hurry up!
Hey, kid! Give me your money now!
I don't have any money!
I do!
What, you want some, old...
Man, you alright?
I see outside my dojo every day. I'd be happy to teach you self-defense if that's what you want. Would you like that?
I don't have any money!
Don't worry about that! You just show up tomorrow after school, okay?
Alright, you made it!
Uh, Fletcher?
Yeah, I'm ready to go!
Not yet, you aren't! You can't wear that to training!
Or you can wear this!
Is this really for me?
Go put it on! We'll get started!
Ready?
Hey, sidekick!
Okay, good work, everyone! That's good for today! Let's take a break!
You okay?
Oh yeah, I'm just a bit hungry, but I'm fine! Did your mom pack you any snacks?
Here, take this!
So what do you think about class today, Fletcher?
It was great! You're a fantastic teacher! I'm kind of surprised you don't have more students!
Yeah, well, business has been kind of slow lately. I think the kids these days would rather play on their phones all day than put in the hard work of learning martial arts.
Yeah, you a fan?
Oh, uh, yeah! He's the best! I want to be just like him someday! Acting and performing my own stunts!
But what? No, it's just... That'll never happen for someone like me!
You're right! It would never happen if that's what you believe! But if you believe you can be the next Jackie Chan, then you can do it! 'Cause anything you believe, you can achieve if you work hard!
Oh, I gotta go! I'm going to be late!
It's... I gotta go home!
No problem! I'll give you a ride!
This is the place!
I thought you had to go home! You live here?
Well, no! I work here!
Aren't you a little young to be working?
No time to explain! I gotta get going! Thanks for the ride!
Where have you been? Who's going to do the work? Let's go! I don't want to hear anything!
Hi, I'm Nathan Kim, and I'm looking for your vote for mayor! In my first term, I brought back law and order to the city, and the good news is we're just getting started!
I have a plan to fix the schools while lowering taxes! My opponent says it can't be done, but I'm here to tell you in my first term, I got results, and I don't plan on stopping now!
So remember, vote Nathan Kim for mayor so you can have a better tomorrow!
Today!
What was that noise?
Huh? How many times have I told you to give up on the stupid little dream you have of being in the movies? It ain't happening for you!
See what you did? Now you're going to pay for that!
I thought I told you to stay away from this!
No money wants you here! Nobody wants me anywhere! I'm used to it!
Seems like you got these in time!
There aren't any left!
Sure would be a shame...
Have fun auditioning! Now maybe if you hurry, you can tape it back together!
And one, two, three, four!
Okay, everyone, take five! Rehydrate!
Fletcher, can I talk to you for a second?
Everything okay?
I noticed though...
Yeah, I'm good! Just... I fell in the shower, and I banged my face on the side of the tub, and you know what? I really don't want to talk about it! It's just so embarrassing, you know?
Okay, that's fine! But if you ever do want to talk about you falling down and getting bruises, I'm here for you!
Thanks, but I gotta get going! I'm going to be late!
Aren't you going to change?
No time! I'm late!
Where have you been? Why do you keep showing up late, huh?
Oh, that's where you have been! Wasting your time trying to be a Quan man!
So let's see! Come with me!
So, you any good at karate?
Of course! My sensei says I'm doing pretty good!
Oh yeah? He's nice!
Pretty good!
Okay, let's see it! Come on, tough guy! If you're doing so good, then fight me!
Let's see! You want her, Fletcher? You have to go through me!
Hey, I got no beef with you, man!
Fer, get back to work! I'm not leaving him here alone with someone like you!
Someone like me? What's that supposed to mean?
You know what it means!
Do we have a problem?
No, no problem!
Good! I think these gentlemen would like to talk to you!
What would you like?
Come with me!
Yes, really! Okay, thank you! I'll let him know!
So that was your social worker! Let me know that the police are talking with Jeffrey right now about the abuse and his violation of child labor law!
He's probably going to lose his license to be a foster parent! You won't have to go back with him anymore!
Thank you!
Sir, are you okay?
I'm sure this is very hard for you, but if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here! This is a safe space!
I never knew my parents! My mom died when I was a baby, and I never met my dad! So I always got picked on for being an orphan!
Kids would always call me orphan boy, and then there's my foster dad, Jeffrey! He was just as bad as the bullies, if not worse!
The only thing I enjoyed in my life was watching Jackie Chan movies! I could watch them all the time, and I wished I could be like him one day! A famous, talented actor! A great martial artist!
I don't know! I just thought that maybe if I became rich and famous, the other kids would stop picking on me, and maybe my father would come back and try to find me!
Listen, I can train you and help you achieve your goals, but is it going to be easy to be as good as Jackie Chan?
Yeah, I know! I don't think I could ever be as good as him!
You're right! You can't! But that's what you believe! 'Cause remember what I told you? Whatever you believe, you can achieve as long as you work hard at it!
Ready, set, let's go!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
There's nothing you can do to stop it! I've been on the way up 'cause they know I'm popping! Hits, no misses! Clean up like the dishes!
Ain't no point telling me to stop 'cause I won't listen! Every level got a new devil! I'mma give them hell 'cause I don't know better!
I'm a born winner! I'm going all the way up! There's nothing you can do to make me ever give up!
Let's go! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm getting close! I can taste it! I'm going up like a spaceship! I'm shaking the ground! I'm making a...
I go to work! Nobody's around! It's time to get it! It's time to go! It's time to shine! It's my time to blow!
So I'mma steal the show! Ready, set, go! I'mma blow up like a C4! Tick, tick, tick, tick, boom!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! I'm on the way up! Going all the way up!
I'm on a new level! I'm on a new level! I'm on a new level! Leveling up!
I'm on a new level! I'm on a new level! Leveling up!
And that is a...
Cut! Great job, Fletcher! You nailed it!
Yeah, I'll take eight!
Oh man, let's not act like any of the earlier seven were bad either!
Man, listen, there's a reason all your movies are smashing!
Huh, Fletcher? I think your dad is here!
Dani came to see me!
Uh, well, his name's not Daniel, but I don't know! It's some guy that claims to be your biological father!
Uh, you called for me?
Hello, Fletcher!
Aren't you the guy from TV?
I could say the same about you, but yes, I'm Nathan Kim! You've probably seen my campaign ads on television!
The reason I'm here today is because, um, well, um, I'm your father!
I'm sure you have a lot of questions, so feel free to ask me anything!
Why did it take so long to reach out to me?
Well, you know, like a lot of things in life, things are much more complicated than it seems!
You see, I started my political career at a young age! My public life has always been perfect, but my private life, let's just say, has been a complicated story!
Everything changed when your mother, who was my assistant, told me she was pregnant! When I found out, I knew no matter what, I couldn't let my wife or the public find out!
So I had to do the only thing I could do: fire your mom and cut her off from my life completely!
I paid her not to include my name on the birth certificate! So you see, that's what happened! I had to do what's best for my future!
You're a successful man! I'm sure you understand!
Okay, so why come back into my life now?
Well, you know, you're a very popular actor now! Proud of you for that!
And I don't know if you've been following the news lately, but my campaign for Senate, let's just say, could use a boost!
So I figured an endorsement from my long-lost son...
Well, that you want me to endorse you after you've been gone my entire life?
Hold on now! Let's be clear! There's something in it for you too! You know, over the years, I've met a lot of friends in Hollywood! High-powered friends!
I could be very beneficial to you! You would book the best roles with me behind you!
So, um, what do you say?
Alright, here we go, guys! Then I'm here live with former mayor and current US senator Nathan Kim, who we also told has a shocking announcement just days before the election!
I should also note for the audience at home that we are also on the set of the new Fletcher Chan film!
Fletcher, are you part of this big news?
I guess I am, but for the record, I have nothing good to say about him! He abandoned my mom and me and never even cared to know that I was stuck in an abusive foster home for most of my life!
He's a terrible man, and he definitely should not be senator or any public official!
Fletcher, wait, wait! You're a big-time Hollywood celebrity now! How did you go from an abusive foster home to where you're at now?
I was an orphan kid without a pot to piss in! No one believed in me! I didn't even believe in myself!
But one person taught me what you believe, you can achieve as long as you work hard for it! That's why I did!
His name is D. Lee from The Iron Dragon Dojo on Fifth Street! I owe everything to that man!
Back to you, Diane!
I've done everything I can, Daniel, but you're three months behind on rent, and you don't have any students anymore!
I know, but can I get a few more days to figure it out? I got some ideas to get the word out about this place, and I know things are going to pick up if I can just have a little bit!
Oh my God! You're the one who talked!
Yeah, we would love to train with you!
Yeah, we want to be just like him!
Where did you guys hear that?
It's on the news!
Look, no one believed in me! I didn't even believe in myself! But one person taught me what you believe, you can achieve as long as you work hard for it!
And that's why I did! His name is D. Lee from The Iron Dragon Dojo on Fifth Street! I owe everything to that man!
We want to sign up for classes to be just like Fletcher! And so do all of our friends!
Please, please, please!
See, the kids are coming to sign up!
Yeah, but that still doesn't help you catch up on back rent! If you don't have the money by tomorrow, you're evicted!
Nice to meet you!
Oh my God!
D, it's been a long time!
Fletcher, it's so good to see you! Thank you for mentioning me in your news interview! I really appreciate that!
That's not the only thing I want to do for you! Here you go! Now you never have to worry about rent again!
Thank you! Thank you!
Do you have any food for me, Mr. Ni?
Turn!
[Applause] [Applause]
