- [In the hospital, Peter and his father meet again after twenty years]
- Peter Caine: I saw the tattoos on your forearms, the dragon and the tiger. Who else but a Shaolin priest could walk out of a burning building like he was taking a stroll through Central Park?
- Kwai Chang Caine: Must be... very HOT in Central Park.
- Peter Caine: Ah, yes. Darkness shall overcome the light - as you would say - but splinters of black will easily be crushed. The illumination of one candle shall forever touch mankind's luminous spirit.
- Kwai Chang Caine: I never said anything like that. That means absolutely nothing.
- Peter Caine: I know. Sounded great though, didn't it?
