Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.

David Carradine, December 8, 1936 - June 3, 2009, we pass no judgements surrounding your death, only mourn your passing.

Po: As quickly as you can... snatch the pebble from my hand.

[Caine tries and fails]

Po: When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.

RIP Grasshopper...
