[Caine has given another Shaolin monk a sextant that had belonged to his father.]
You wish no longer to savor the memory of your father through that which was close to him?
Master. You have taught me to claim no possessions, that none may claim me.
The sextant was only a memory, which you could keep not only in your heart, but in your hands.
I am of age. I must put away such memories.
Between father and son, there is a bridge which neither time nor death can shatter. Each stands at one end, needing to cross and meet.
But he is dead.
The bridge of which I speak, Grasshopper, is your love for him.
