"This was never about the fighting." "This was about you." "Your life." "Why?" "Why me?" "Because we want to see the loss of innocence." "We want to see a pure-hearted, good-natured man of tai chi" " become a killer." " No." "Yes." "Kill or be killed, Tiger." "That's what they want." "That's what I want."
