- Quotes
Master Po: The hands, Grasshopper, are the eyes and tongue of touch. Through them, a man may reach out and see another's feelings or speak his own.
Kwai Chang Caine: Is it not sad, Master, that the hands of a man may strike a blow as well as caress?
Master Po: Pain and pleasure are like two bells, side by side. And the voice of each makes a trembling in the other.
Kwai Chang Caine: Are pain and pleasure, then, so alike?
Master Po: Are the eyes and the tongue alike? We see the butterfly and an ugly wound. And the same tongue which screams also laughs.
The best thing is undoubtedly the characters, an Irishman with a hot-line to his maker, a wonderful hillbilly Daddy played superbly by Royal Dano (I had no idea who he was until now but he really took quirky to a new level of character acting) and the disabled ferry-crossing matriarch played by Geraldine Brooks. And through all this walks our bemused hero dispensing wisdom, healing and pain in measure each each according to their need.
