Roadside diner, Highway 1, California, June 1971, 9:45 PM. Fifteen minutes before closing. Mel's Diner. Sarah Chen, 23, waitress, nursing school student, working night shift. Diner nearly empty. Bruce Lee alone in corner booth. Simple clothes. Jeans. Dark shirt. Heading to San Francisco. Seminar tomorrow. Stopped for coffee. Three motorcycles pulled into parking lot. Loud. Harley-Davidsons. Three bikers walked in. Leather jackets. Bandanas. Rick, 6'2", 240 pounds, leader. Jake. Tommy. Sarah: 'Gentlemen, we're closing in thirteen minutes. Kitchen closed at 9:30.' Rick pushed past her. 'We want real food. Fire up the grill.' Sarah: 'Cook left. Grill shut down. I can offer packaged sandwiches.' Rick stepped closer. 'You're going to serve us.' Jake and Tommy flanked her. Boxing her in. Sarah: 'I need you to leave. Or I'm calling police.' Rick smiled. 'Police are forty minutes away. Lots can happen.' Reached out. Touched Sarah's hair. She pulled back. 'Don't touch me.' Rick laughed. 'You and what army?' Bruce Lee stood up. Walked toward them. Rick: 'Can I help you, buddy?' Bruce: 'You can leave. She asked you to.' Rick: 'You're what, 130 pounds? You gonna make us leave?' Bruce: 'I'm asking politely. Leave now.' Tommy: 'Or what, little man?' Rick grabbed Sarah's wrist. Hard. Bruce: 'Let her go.' Rick: 'Make me.' 18 seconds. Second 1-4: Bruce struck Rick's forearm, radial nerve, grip released, Rick swung punch, Bruce ducked, uppercut to solar plexus, Rick gasping. Second 5-9: Jake tackled, Bruce turned, Jake hit table, came again with punch, Bruce elbow to Jake's nose, broke it, blood.
