Bruce: "Okay, Wong,

I have given you a chance to back down from your foolish challenge and save face. But now, you have aroused my deepest anger and offended my honor.

"So, you must die!"

Wong: "Ah... Hah!" You are no match for me little grasshopper! And powerfully kicks Bruce upside the head with a Crouching Tiger martial arts blow. This sends him slamming to the ground.

Rome, O' Rome-What great weight thee holdsThy name carries into legend,And legend unto myth.From Carthage to Greece,You have triumphed allThine conquests are numerous,As the stones the sea holds.Of a republic you came,To an empire you wentFrom your kings of old,To your emperors of now.But beneath thine surface,Lies a layer of rustFor all your glory and riches,Came by cost of blood.Rome, O' Rome-What great weight thee holdsThy name carries into story,And story unto history.
