As Iroh walked through the market he noticed a tall man dressed in strange clothes speaking to the merchant at a tea stand. As Iroh approached the stand the man turned to walk away and paused for a split second, his eyes locking on Iroh's.

"A word of advice," he said, "Don't ever drink ginseng tea that has been anywhere near a fish."

The tea merchant threw his arms up in the air. "How many times do I have to tell you—I don't know how a fish got into the tea pot!"

The stranger shook his head in disgust and Iroh decided he'd have to wait until he returned to his ship for a cup of tea. He smiled at the stranger and bowed slightly.

"My name is Iroh. My ship will be docked here for the day, would you care to join me for some proper tea?"

"I'd love too," the stranger replied. "I'm special agent Dale Cooper by the way."
