• 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?

• 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.

• 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 : 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.
