Bai Ye: What is an assassin?
If the first strike fails, flee a thousand miles.
Sneak in furtively, conceal your presence so you absolutely won't be discovered, and kill with a single unexpected strike.
Cheap shots, kidney punches, poison, hidden guns, explosions, kicks to the groin: use every means necessary. The best method is whatever gets the job done!
Don't tell me about some giant sword and invincible fighting. That's all just this way of doing things! If you can fight invincibly, why be an assassin? Go be a berserker, damn it!
King Hassan: I'll give you one chance to rephrase that. (Noble Phantasm warning!)
Bai Ye: Giant swords are great! Fighting invincibly is the best!
