Student's asking:
"Now what is this thing you do?"
Uran:
"In cantonese 'Jeet Kune Do' - 'The Way Of The Intercepting First'.
Student:
"An intercepting fist, huh?"
Uran:
"....or foot. Come on, touch me. Anyway you can."
The student's trying to attack Uran but gets scared off by her wild movements.
Uran:
"See? To reach me you must move to me. Your attack offers me an opportunity to intercept you. In this case, I'm using my longest weapon - my sidekick - against the nearest target: your kneecap! This can be compared with your left jab in boxing - except that it's much more damaging."
Student:
"I see. Now speaking of a left jab...."
The stundent's setting on to land a punch at Uran but is hesitating because of the reason mentioned before.
Uran:
"Hooooooooo, this time I intercept your emotional tenseness! You see, from your thought to your fist, how much time was lost."
Student:
"Not much. But I guess you're going to teach me that."
Uran:
"I cannot teach you! Only help you to explore yourself, nothing more!"
Student:
"Alright, let's explore some more of it...."「頼むから、仕事をさせてくれ」
