Finding a specific quote

Hi,

I need to find a clip of the following quote for a project I'm working on:

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.

In the verision of the pilot that I have, I can't seem to find it. Anyone who can tell me where it occurs in the pilot would be a giant help. What else is going on in the scene. Is it VO?

-Jeremy

Hi Jeremy

This conversation can be seen in Blood of the Dragon in season 3 as well as previously although I can't quite remember which episodes or season. The scene takes place with Master Po and Caine standing on a cliff-top presumably looking out at the Pacific,

I believe the dialogue first appears in the Season 1 episode "The Tide". Immediately following the opening credits Po finds Caine on a cliff staring across the waters and the sequence begins. It's not a voiceover here, but I think it may have been used as voiceover in later episodes.

I don't think it's in the pilot, as this is the "go to" flashback for Caine's quest to find his brother & Danny's existence wasn't introduced until a few episodes in.

In any case, "The Tide" would be a good one to use to snip the clip. It's episode 5 or 6 depending on whether you count the pilot as ep 1.
