- Samurai Jack: Where is he?

- Samurai Jack: Many thanks.
- The Priest: Thank you my child. I wish I could repay your kindness, but I'm a poor old Priest.
- Samurai Jack: Actually, you can help me. I seek a time portal.
- The Priest: A time portal? I don't know what you're talking about.
- [Samurai Jack begins to walk away and then stops]
- The Priest: But the grove on the next mountain is ruled by a great tree spirit. Speak to him, he knows everything.
- Samurai Jack: Many thanks.
