YOUNG CAINE: He betrayed us, yet we feed and clothe him.
MASTER KAN: And you disapprove?
YOUNG CAINE: It is said he swore an oath, as one of us, never to reveal our secrets. It is said that when he left us, he taught farmers to be soldiers…and led them to their deaths in foolish rebellion.
MASTER KAN: I am aware of his unsavory ventures. I am aware also of his hunger and cold.
YOUNG CAINE: But Master, will not food and new clothing… strengthen him to go out and cause more suffering?
MASTER KAN: It may. But when he leaves us in the morning… will the earth fall away from under his feet? Will the sun, shining on all else, withhold light and warmth from him? Will water turn to mud when he stops to drink? If sun and earth and water refrain from judgment…who am I to withhold a blanket and a bowl of rice?
