Mrs. Haggerty: There's a dining car this time?

Peiping Ticket Agent: Yes, madam. Everything but a Turkish bath.

Mrs. Haggerty: Hmph!

Customs Official: What have you got in that basket, missus?

Mrs. Haggerty: Just a little snack of lunch me niece put up for me.

Mrs. Haggerty: I hope not.

British Officer with Newspaper: I say, Harvey, you're in for a good time.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Why?

British Officer with Newspaper: Do you know who's on this train?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: No, who?

British Officer with Newspaper: Shanghai Lily.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Who's Shanghai Lily?

Cigarette Lighting British Officer: Don't tell me you've never heard of Shanghai Lily? Everybody in China knows her. She's a notorious coaster.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: What in the name of Confucius is a coaster?

British Officer with Newspaper: You're hopeless. A coaster's a woman who lives by her wits along the China coast.

Mrs. Haggerty: Newsboy! See here, wait a bit. This magazine you sold me says August 15, 1927.

Newsboy: Latest number, madam.

Mrs. Haggerty: But I tell you it's four years old!

Newsboy: Latest number, madam.

Mrs. Haggerty: Is this 1931, or am I out of me mind?

Major Lenard: Madame, je regrette, mais je ne vous comprends pas. Je ne parle pas anglais. Parlez-vous français?

[He turns to Sam Salt]

Major Lenard: Parlez-vous français, vous?

Sam Salt: She oughta keep it for her history and get herself an education.

Major Lenard: Huh?

Mr. Henry Chang: Well, we're off on time.

Sam Salt: Say, partner, do you ever make a little bet? My name's Sam Salt. I bet on everything under the sun going right or wrong. I'll lay you odds that this ol' rattler don't get into Shanghai on time.

Mr. Henry Chang: Sir, let me remind you that China is in a state of civil war, and we will be fortunate if we arrive in Shanghai at all.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Can you tell me what's wrong now?

Mr. Henry Chang: You're in China now, sir, where time and life have no value.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Madeline.

Shanghai Lily: Well, Doctor, I haven't seen you in a long time. You haven't changed at all, Doctor.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, you've changed a lot, Madeline.

Shanghai Lily: Have I, Doc? Do you mind me calling you "Doc," or must I be more respectful?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Ah, you were never respectful, and you always did call me "Doc." I didn't think I'd ever run into you again.

Shanghai Lily: Have you thought of me much, Doc?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Let's see. Exactly how long has it been?

Shanghai Lily: Five years and four weeks.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, for five years and four weeks, I've thought of nothing else.

Shanghai Lily: You were always polite, Doc. You haven't changed a bit.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: You have, Madeline. You've changed a lot.

Shanghai Lily: Have I lost my looks?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: No. You're more beautiful than ever.

Shanghai Lily: How have I changed?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I don't know. I wish I could describe it.

Shanghai Lily: Well, Doc, I've changed my name.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Married?

Shanghai Lily: No. It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: So you're Shanghai Lily.

Shanghai Lily: The notorious white flower of China. You heard of me, and you always believed what you heard.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: And I still do. You see? I haven't changed at all.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, it was nice to see you again, Madeline.

Shanghai Lily: Oh, I don't know.

Mrs. Haggerty: I heard your gramophone, ladies, and thought I'd come in and get acquainted, if you don't mind.

Shanghai Lily: Not at all. Come in.

Mrs. Haggerty: It's a bit lonely on the train, isn't it? I'm used to having people around. They put my dog in the baggage car. That's why I dropped in on you. I've been visiting my niece in Peking. She married a seafaring man. He hasn't been home in four years, and she ain't been very cheerful. I have a boardinghouse in Shanghai. Yorkshire pudding is my specialty, and I only take the most respectable people.

Shanghai Lily: Don't you find respectable people terribly... dull?

Mrs. Haggerty: You're joking, aren't you? I only know the most respectable people. You see, I keep a boardinghouse.

Shanghai Lily: What kind of a house did you say?

Mrs. Haggerty: A boardinghouse.

Shanghai Lily: Oh.

Mrs. Haggerty: I'm sure you're very respectable, madam.

Hui Fei: I must confess I don't quite know the standard of respectability that you demand in your boardinghouse, Mrs. Haggerty.

Mrs. Haggerty: I've made a terrible mistake. I'd better look after me dog.

[She bumps into the Reverend Mr. Carmichael]

Mrs. Haggerty: I beg your pardon.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I beg yours.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: It's a shame allowing such women on a first-class train.

Sam Salt: What's the matter with them, parson?

Mr. Henry Chang: I imagine the Honorable Divine objects to their morals.

Sam Salt: Why, I thought they were pretty good-looking. At least Shanghai Lily is.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Do you mean to say that Shanghai Lily is on this train?

Chinese attendant with hot water: Hot water, sir.

Sam Salt: It's about time. Well, being a married man, I only knew her by sight and reputation. But I'll lay you a hundred to one in any currency you've got that the lady in the next compartment is Shanghai Lily.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Shanghai Lily.

Sam Salt: Is it a bet?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I told you once before, sir...

Hot towel woman: Hot towel, please?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: No thank you - I don't bet!

Sam Salt: Well, I'll bet you a Mexican dollar, or whatever you use for money, that those two dames next door are not going to have an easy time on this train.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Well, sir, I supposed every train carries its cargo of sin, but this train is burdened with more than its share!

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Sir, you seem distressed.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: My name's Carmichael, Doctor of Divinity in the service of mankind. And whom have I the honor of addressing?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, sir, my name is Donald Harvey, Doctor of Medicine in the service of His Majesty. It's charming to make your acquaintance, sir.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Dr. Harvey, I want to put you on your guard.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: On my guard? Why, what's wrong?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: One of them is yellow and the other one is white, but both their souls are rotten.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: You interest me. Mr. Carmichael. I'm not exactly irreligious, but... being a physician, I sometimes wonder how a man like you can locate a soul, and, having located it, diagnose its condition as rotten.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: That's heathen talk, Doctor. You're a materialist, sir. Any man with half an eye should be able to see that those two women are riding this train in search of victims.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: A very grave charge, Mr. Carmichael. I don't know anything about the Chinese woman, but as for the other lady...

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Why, confound it, sir. That's Shanghai Lily. For the last fortnight, I've been attending a man who went out of his mind after spending every penny on her. And that's not all I know. She's wrecked a dozen men up and down the China coast.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Look here, sir, you're mistaken. She's a friend of mine.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Well, sir, if I were in your boots, I wouldn't brag about it.

Shanghai Lily: I was hoping that you would take us in to dinner. You seem upset, Doctor.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Oh no, not at all.

Shanghai Lily: This is Captain Harvey. Miss Hui Fei.

Hui Fei: I'm glad to meet you, Captain Harvey.

[She puts out her hand]

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: [He bows but does not take her hand] It's a great pleasure.

Sam Salt: Good evening, folks.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Good evening.

Sam Salt: [Patting Hui Fei's shoulder] Time to put on the nosebag.

Hui Fei: [to Shanghai Lily] I'll wait for you in the diner.

Major Lenard: Bon appétit, mademoiselle.

Shanghai Lily: Merci beaucoup, monsieur.

Major Lenard: Bon appétit, monsieur.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Thank you, Major.

Major Lenard: Et bonsoir.

Shanghai Lily: Bonsoir.

Major Lenard: Bonsoir.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Good evening, Major.

Shanghai Lily: You're very cruel, Doc.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I reserve the privilege of choosing my friends.

Shanghai Lily: She's no friend of mine. I was only trying to be decent.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Oh, professional courtesy?

Shanghai Lily: Call it what you like.

[She touches one of his medals]

Shanghai Lily: New, isn't it?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Yes.

Shanghai Lily: Bravery?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Oh, of sorts.

[He touches her brooch]

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: That's new too, isn't it?

Shanghai Lily: Yes.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: It's very becoming.

Shanghai Lily: Merci, monsieur.

Eric Baum: Shut off those fans. I'm an invalid.

Sam Salt: If those fans are shut off, the rest of us will be invalids before the journey's over.

Hui Fei: What do you want?

Mr. Henry Chang: It's a long journey, and a lonely one.

Major Lenard: Bonne nuit, monsieur, et dormez bien.

Sam Salt: Someday, that sardine inspector's gonna go too far.

Eric Baum: [Chang is blocking the door] Pardon me.

[He pokes Chang in the arm]

Eric Baum: Pardon me.

[Chang shoves Baum. Baum speaks to him in German and leaves]

Sam Salt: What did he say to you?

Mr. Henry Chang: Something he'll probably have occasion to regret.

Sam Salt: I can't make head or tail out of you, Mr. Chang. Are you Chinese or are you white, or what are ya?

Mr. Henry Chang: My mother was Chinese. My father was white.

Sam Salt: You look more like a white man to me.

Mr. Henry Chang: I'm not proud of my white blood.

Sam Salt: Oh you're not, are ya?

Mr. Henry Chang: No, I'm not.

Sam Salt: Rather be a Chinaman, huh?

Mr. Henry Chang: Yes.

Sam Salt: What future is there being a Chinaman? You're born, eat your way through a handful of rice, and you die. What a country! Let's have a drink.

Shanghai Lily: Do you want to be alone, Doctor?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: No, it's quite all right. I was just going to turn in, anyway.

Shanghai Lily: Don't let me detain you. I thought it was quite early. What time is it?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Nine-thirty.

Shanghai Lily: You still have the watch I gave you, Donald.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I was afraid you'd notice it.

Shanghai Lily: I had long hair then.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I remember quite well.

Shanghai Lily: Do you expect to stay in Shanghai a while?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I think so.

Shanghai Lily: Then we ought to see a lot of each other.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Perhaps.

Shanghai Lily: What have you been doing, Donald, since I saw you last?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Nothing much. Mostly service routine. Couple of years in India after our smashup. Then I went back to England for a while. Then I was assigned to a scientific expedition in Manchuria.

Shanghai Lily: Sounds as if you had been rather lonesome, Doc.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I can't say I was very lonesome. It was an active life, full of interest and excitement.

Shanghai Lily: I suppose you mean women.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: It was difficult to find someone to take your place.

Shanghai Lily: Did you try very hard?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Not particularly. I didn't want to be hurt again.

Shanghai Lily: Always a bit selfish, Doc, thinking of your own hurt.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I can't accept your reproach. I was the only one hurt.

Shanghai Lily: You left me without a word, purely because I indulged in a women's trick to make you jealous. I wanted to be certain that you loved me. Instead, I lost you. I suffered quite a bit, and I probably deserved it.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I was a fool to let you go out of my life.

[They kiss]

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish you could tell me there'd been no other men.

Shanghai Lily: I wish I could, Doc, but five years in China is a long time.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish I had 'em back.

Shanghai Lily: What would you have done with them? There's a scheme of things. Sooner or later, we would've parted anyway. And we might never have met again.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: We wouldn't have parted, Madeline. We'd have gone back to England, married, and been very happy. There are a lot of things I wouldn't have done if I had those five years to live over again.

Shanghai Lily: There's only one thing I wouldn't have done, Doc.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: What, for instance?

Shanghai Lily: I wouldn't have bobbed my hair. Good night, Donald.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: [Shanghai Lily reads a telegram] From one of your lovers?

Shanghai Lily: No.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish I could believe you.

Shanghai Lily: Don't you?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: No.

Shanghai Lily: Will you never learn to believe without proof?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I believe you, Madeline.

Shanghai Lily: [She hands him the telegram] When I needed your faith, you withheld it. And now when I don't need it, and don't deserve it, you give it to me.

Cigarette Lighting British Officer: It's Mr. Chang, all dressed up in a soldier's uniform.

Mrs. Haggerty: I know what he wants me for.

[He flips up his lapel to show hidden jewelry]

Mrs. Haggerty: And I told him a Chinaman had no future.

Mrs. Haggerty: Did he get the jewels, Mr. Salt?

[He shows her his empty lapel]

Mrs. Haggerty: Oh, what a shame.

[Salt takes more jewelry out of a pocket]

Mrs. Haggerty: Then he didn't take them after all.

Sam Salt: He got the phony ones.

Mrs. Haggerty: Phony?

Sam Salt: These are phony too. The real ones are in the safe in Shanghai.

Mrs. Haggerty: I suppose they're imitation also.

Sam Salt: You don't want to make a bet on that, do you, lady?

Mrs. Haggerty: I never bet with gamblers.

Sam Salt: I didn't think you did.

Mr. Henry Chang: Have you any wealthy or influential friends?

Shanghai Lily: No. I have no friends at all.

Mr. Henry Chang: Why are you going to Shanghai?

Shanghai Lily: I want to buy a new hat.

Mr. Henry Chang: I warn you, this is a very serious matter. Where are you going to live in Shanghai?

Shanghai Lily: Grand Hotel.

Mr. Henry Chang: How can you afford to live at such an expensive hotel?

[She shrugs]

Mr. Henry Chang: How long were you in Peiping?

Shanghai Lily: Eight weeks.

Mr. Henry Chang: And before that?

Shanghai Lily: In Shanghai.

Mr. Henry Chang: How long were you there?

Shanghai Lily: Just between trains. I make the trip quite often.

Mr. Henry Chang: How long have you been in China?

Shanghai Lily: Oh, about eight years.

Mr. Henry Chang: Parents living?

Shanghai Lily: They have forgotten me. It's just as well.

Mr. Henry Chang: Of course, you're not married.

Shanghai Lily: No. All I managed was to become engaged.

Mr. Henry Chang: I took the liberty of presuming that you'd join me for tea.

Shanghai Lily: I hope you don't mind if I prefer to go back to the train.

Mr. Henry Chang: About two days' journey from here into the interior, I have a palace waiting to be graced by your presence. Could I persuade you to accept my hospitality until such time as you should grow weary of me?

Shanghai Lily: I'm weary of you now.

Mr. Henry Chang: I had no reason to believe my invitation would give offense to Shanghai Lily.

Shanghai Lily: Shanghai Lily has reformed.

Mr. Henry Chang: You don't mean to say that the eloquence of Dr. Carmichael has worked this miracle? Or is Captain Harvey to be credited with this extraordinary change?

Shanghai Lily: Maybe.

Mr. Henry Chang: Come, don't be a fool. I'll make it worth your while.

[He backs her against a door and puts a hand on her hip]

Shanghai Lily: Don't touch me.

Mr. Henry Chang: [Harvey enters] Captain Harvey, if I were you, I'd mind my own business.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Exactly what I intend to do.

[He knocks Chang down]

Mr. Henry Chang: You are very fortunate in having Captain Harvey for a protector, as I've promised to return him alive.

Shanghai Lily: [after Hui Fei is dragged away] Can't you do something about this?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: All I can do is to suggest that you get down on your knees and pray.

Shanghai Lily: I think you're right, if God is still on speaking terms with me.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: God remains on speaking terms with everybody.

Shanghai Lily: [She sees Hui Fei holding a knife] Don't do anything foolish.

Hui Fei: When are we leaving?

Shanghai Lily: I wish I knew. I suppose as soon as Captain Harvey comes down.

Hui Fei: If he's up there, he may never come down.

Shanghai Lily: Why are you still holding Captain Harvey? The train is waiting for him.

Mr. Henry Chang: Is that your only interest in the matter?

Shanghai Lily: What difference would it make whether I said yes or no?

Mr. Henry Chang: Why do you try to conceal that you are madly in love with him?

Shanghai Lily: I'm not trying to conceal anything. He means everything in the world to me. I love him. Since you want to know, I love him madly.

Mr. Henry Chang: Your affections are aroused rather swiftly. You just met the man.

Shanghai Lily: That's not true. I've known him for years.

Mr. Henry Chang: Well, you'll have a chance to prove your love for him.

Shanghai Lily: You're not going to punish him for trying to help me last night?

Mr. Henry Chang: I certainly am. He knew what he was doing, and I know what I'm going to do.

Shanghai Lily: Any man would have come to my defense. You can't hold that against him.

Mr. Henry Chang: I'm not concerned with your ideas of justice. I live by my own code.

Shanghai Lily: What do you intend to do with him? You don't dare harm him. You promised to return him.

Mr. Henry Chang: I didn't say in what condition. If you wait here a few minutes, you can lead him back to the train, blind.

Shanghai Lily: You're insane. He's a British officer. The Chinese government will have your head for it.

Mr. Henry Chang: The Chinese government would have had my head long ago if it hadn't been such a good head.

Mr. Henry Chang: All the money in the world can't wipe out his insult to me.

[Shanghai Lily tries to shoot him]

Mr. Henry Chang: You only had my interest before. Now you have my admiration. I could love a woman like you.

Shanghai Lily: You made me an offer to leave with you. Does it still hold good?

Mr. Henry Chang: I wouldn't trust you from here to the door. What assurance have I you won't trick me?

Shanghai Lily: I give you my word of honor.

Mr. Henry Chang: A man is a fool to trust any woman, but I believe a word of honor would mean something to you.

Mr. Henry Chang: Captain Harvey, it seems that they are waiting for you.

[He burns through Harvey's bonds with a red hot poker]

Mr. Henry Chang: I hope the journey won't be too lonely, and that the governor-general of Shanghai will be benefited by your skill.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Thank you, Mr. Chang. I hope someday to have the pleasure of demonstrating my skill upon you.

Mr. Henry Chang: Your friend seems inclined to doubt me. Tell him you're going with me of your own free will, so that he can peacefully take his departure before I become too annoyed with him.

Shanghai Lily: You better go, Donald. I decided to accept his offer.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, I wish you both a very pleasant journey.

Shanghai Lily: Thank you, Donald.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I'd have done it for anybody.

Sam Salt: Boy, how about straightening up this stable?

[the porter speaks Chinese as he answers Salt's call, leaving Hui Fei smoking a cigarette in her compartment]

Shanghai Lily: I didn't believe I'd ever see this train again. Two days more. What time is it anyway?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I don't know. I'll find out for you if you wish.

Shanghai Lily: Where's your watch?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I had it before I went into the station. I probably lost it there, together with a few ideals. I don't think I'll go back for it. After all, it's only a watch.

Shanghai Lily: I can't replace your ideals, but I'll buy you another watch when we get to Shanghai.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Don't bother. I'm rather glad I lost it.

Shanghai Lily: I don't know if I ought to be grateful to you or not.

Hui Fei: It's of no consequence. I didn't do it for you. Death canceled his debt to me.

Sam Salt: How's the invalid coming along, Doctor?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: He'll be all right in a few weeks, poor fellow.

Sam Salt: That's more than I can say for myself. I bet if you opened me up right now, you'd find my nerves tangled up like a mess of Chinese noodles.

Mrs. Haggerty: I guess this journey hasn't done any of us any good.

Sam Salt: All except that Chinese dame. She's twenty thousand to the good for settling the hash of the honorable Mr. Chang. I wish I'd taken a crack at him first. How about you, Major?

Major Lenard: Je regarde beaucoup, monsieur, mais je ne comprends pas seulement qu'est-ce que vous dites.

Sam Salt: [to Mrs. Haggerty] I'm telling you, it's a lucky thing for him that you're here.

Mrs. Haggerty: I've never been so shocked in my life. I suppose the Chinese girl deserves all she's getting, but as for the other lady... Well, I'm not going to say anything. Of all the brazen creatures, playing the gramophone. Why, she's the most terrible woman I've ever met. I don't see how she can look any of us in the eye. Going off with the late Mr. Chang after the way he treated us. Bad enough she tried it before he held up the train, but after the way he tortured poor Mr. Baum...

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Look here, Mrs. Haggerty, I think you're doing the woman an injustice. I don't know what caused her to behave that way, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more behind this than appears on the surface.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Mr. Carmichael, when I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance yesterday, you volunteered an amazingly correct diagnosis of Shanghai Lily, and I see no reason for you to have changed it.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Look here, Captain Harvey, I happen to know that she prayed all night for your safety.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I'd give anything in the world to believe the way you do, but I heard from her own lips she was leaving with Chang.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: That's rubbish!

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish it were.

Sam Salt: Defending that dame. I'm pretty liberal on the subject of betting, but I wouldn't back his viewpoint for all the rice in China.

Mrs. Haggerty: Neither would I.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'd like to talk to you alone.

Shanghai Lily: I don't wish to talk to anybody.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'm sorry to have to insist, but I must talk to you.

Shanghai Lily: If you're thinking of reforming me, you might as well save yourself the trouble.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'm not trying to reform you. I'm not trying to reform anybody right now. All I want is to settle something that's been puzzling me all day. Why did you decide to leave with that barbarian who was killed by her this morning?

[Hui Fei and Carmichael exchange glances as she leaves the compartment]

Shanghai Lily: What makes you want to know? Curiosity?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You prayed last night, probably for the first time in years. This morning, you were to shamelessly leave with Chang. There's something wrong there. You can't tell me that a human being can do two things like that within six hours.

Shanghai Lily: Although it's nobody's affair but mine, I might tell you if you promise not to repeat it.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Of course I won't repeat it. I came in here to find out for myself. I'm not interested in the others.

Shanghai Lily: He was going to deprive Captain Harvey of his eyesight. I had no other choice.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Does Captain Harvey know that?

Shanghai Lily: Does he act as if he did?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: He certainly does not. Despite the fact that I gave you my word not to tell anyone, I'm going to tell him this.

Shanghai Lily: You're not going to do anything of the kind. Mr. Carmichael, it may seem odd for me to use your language, but it's purely a question of faith. You see, once upon a time we loved each other. We parted, and I threw my life away because I didn't care to bargain for love with words. I haven't changed since them, and neither has he.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You're still in love with him, aren't you?

Shanghai Lily: Yes.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Is he still in love with you?

Shanghai Lily: I doubt it.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You're right. Love without faith, like religion without faith, doesn't amount to very much. I don't suppose I can help you.

Shanghai Lily: No.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Well, sir, did you find out what kind of a woman she is?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I found out enough to realize that she's worth a dozen of you!

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I have no exaggerated idea of my own value, but just exactly what did she say to make you so emphatic on that point?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: She made me promise not to tell anyone, particularly not to tell you, but there's no restriction to my saying that you're a profound fool.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Be that as it may, you evidently place a great deal of faith in what Shanghai Lily says.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I know you men of science regard me and my kind as meddlesome fanatics, but I'd rather have one grain of my faith than all your scientific disbelief.

Shanghai Lily: You haven't a cigarette, have you, Doc?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: You appear to be nervous. Sleep would do you more good.

Shanghai Lily: What makes you think I'm nervous?

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: For one thing, your hands are trembling.

Shanghai Lily: That's because you touched me, Doc.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I've been wanting to talk to you, Madeline. Mr. Carmichael tells me you prayed for me last night. I can't quite reconcile that with what followed. If you did pray for me, which I doubt, do you mind telling me why?

Shanghai Lily: I would have done that for anybody, Doc. Good night.

Sam Salt: Good-bye, Captain Harvey.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Mr. Salt.

Sam Salt: I owe you my life, and I'm not the man to forget it. Although between you and me, it isn't worth much.

[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.

Eric Baum: I shouldn't get off, night air's bad for me.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Don't be silly, Mr Baum, we're in a civil war - spy scares and firing squads.

Mrs. Haggerty: Me?

Chinese Rebel Officer: Yes, Follow me upstairs.

Mrs. Haggerty: Everybody told me there wasn't the slightest danger. I made a point of asking.
