On a side note, does anyone here wish to hear the story of the samurai's three students?

Sure, why not.
On an even further side note, Derek has no intentions of shooting him. Normally he'd have just kicked him in the side of the head to knock him out, then carried him to the ambulance... but you can't really do that to a guy with head trauma, unless you want to kill him.

Give me a bit, i don't have the story in my archives so I’ll have to write it down from memory. I'm already about half done with it so I shouldn't take me much longer.

The Samurai's Three Students
There was once a sword master named Kaijan Toshiro, he was an aging man, and he decided one day that he should take on a student to pass on his skills. Hearing this, the mayor of the town brought his three sons to the master’s home so that he might train them to become great samurai. He was told to wait and send in each of his sons, one at a time to meet the master.
Upon facing his first possible student, the master asked, “Why should I take you as my student?” The first student replied, “I have unrivaled discipline of body and mind, sensi.” Then without warning, the master knocked a vase from a table next to him toward the student, and the student, like he claimed, stood firm, and allowed the vase to break upon him. After this, the master replied, “I have no use for a student like you, leave here and send the next student.” The next student entered and knelt before the master, and the master looked upon him and asked, “Why should I take you as my student?” The second student replied, “I have unsurpassed strength and reflexes, sensi.” Then, once again, the master suddenly knocked another vase from a table next to him toward the student. The student, wanting to prove his claims, drew his sword and sliced the vase cleanly into two halves. The master looked upon this student with disdain and said to him, “I have no use for a student like you. Leave here at once and send in the last student.” As the last student entered and settled into place the master asked for a third time, “Why should I take you as my student?” The final student replied, “I am not as disciplined as my oldest brother, nor am I as fast as my other brother. But I will work and train hard for you, sensi.” Then, the master knocked his last vase from the nearby table toward the student, and this student, rose and caught the vase, handling it with the greatest of care. Then he placed it back upon the table and returned to his place. The master smiled and said to the student, “That vase represents the people of this country. Unlike your oldest brother you did not let if fall to the ground through inaction. Unlike your other brother, your first reaction was not to destroy. Perhaps you have what it takes to become a samurai.” With that, the old master accepted the youngest brother has his student and, as was hoped by his father, the youngest brother became a great samurai, known throughout the land for his wisdom and skill.
