i was most intrigued by it. :D Title: Re: Grasshopper Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Sep 24, 2010 07:37 pm i loved that show...was glued to the tv every evening at 7 pm , if i remember correctly ;D i was most intrigued by it. :D Memorable quotes for "Kung Fu" Pilot (1972) Young Caine: You cannot see. Master Po: You think I cannot see? Young Caine: Of all things, to live in darkness must be worst. Master Po: Fear is the only darkness. Master Po: [after easily defeating the boy in combat] Ha, ha, never assume because a man has no eyes he cannot see. Close your eyes. What do you hear? Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds. Master Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat? Young Caine: No. Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet? Young Caine: [looking down and seeing the insect] Old man, how is it that you hear these things? Master Po: Young man, how is it that you do not? Master Po: What do you hear? Caine: I hear the grasshopper. Master Kan: Quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand. [Young Caine tries to do so and fails] Master Kan: When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave. Master Kan: Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced. Caine: Is it good to seek the past, Master Po? Does it not rob the present? Master Po: If a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present. But if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past. Caine: I seek not to know the answers, but to understand the questions. i thought this one was funny: Grasshopper had to 'tame' a strong fellow who was picking a fight with him with a chain. After wards the fellow with the chain meekly said to Grasshopper; 'You would make one hell of a laundryman.'
