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.
