[last lines]
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Forgive me for following you a moment ago, Madeline. I was afraid of losing you.
Shanghai Lily: I was only buying you another watch.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: What good is a watch without you?
Shanghai Lily: I wish I could replace everything else, too. Good-bye, Donald.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I'm not going to let you out of my life again, Madeline. Everything else has become so unimportant. I don't care whether you were going to leave with another man or not, nor do I want to know the reason. What I want is another chance for a new start. I'll be different. You'll never have any cause for regret. Please forgive me for my lack of faith. Please do. I know I've no right to ask you even to listen to me.
Shanghai Lily: It's very easy to listen to you, Donald. You know I love you. I always have and I always will.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I don't deserve that. I know I behaved badly.
Shanghai Lily: Perhaps it was my fault. I should have told you everything.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: There's only one thing I want you to tell me, Madeline.
Shanghai Lily: What's that?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: How in the name of Confucius can I kiss you with all these people around?
Shanghai Lily: But Donald, there's no one here but you and I. Besides, many lovers come to railroad stations to kiss without attracting attention.
