Lan Ying Lin
- Lan Ying Lin: I hope that you will continue in my service, as long and as faithfully as in my father's.
- One of Quan Lin's Servants: May our days be filled with unrest if we do not serve you well.
- Mrs. Mary Hunt: How much is it Quan Li?
- Quan Lin: If one must set a price upon that which is beyond price.
- Mrs. Mary Hunt: Lan Ying, stop him. When he becomes poetic, the price goes up.
- Lan Ying Lin: Then, if we must be prosaic.
- Mrs. Mary Hunt: Yes?
- Lan Ying Lin: It's two thousand dollars.
- Mrs. Mary Hunt: Two thousand dollars?
- Quan Lin: If we must be prosaic.
- Lan Ying Lin: Are you Mr. Hartman?
- Otto Hartman: What do you want with Hartman?
- Lan Ying Lin: A job. I'm a dancer.
- Otto Hartman: Stand up. Let's have a look at you.
- [Lan Ying stands up, turns around]
- Otto Hartman: Where'd you come from? Who sent you here?
- Lan Ying Lin: I closed in Trinidad three weeks ago. I'm just cruising about the islands.
- Otto Hartman: You any good?
- Lan Ying Lin: Give me a chance and I'll show you.
- Otto Hartman: You don't get any salary, you understand? You get board, lodging and the pickins.
- Lan Ying Lin: Pickins?
- Otto Hartman: Sure, I give my girls 15% of the money they get the customers to spend.
- Lan Ying Lin: I see.
- Otto Hartman: The pickins might be pretty good if you and me hit it off all right.
- Otto Hartman: Are you American born?
- Lan Ying Lin: San Francisco. Have you ever been there?
- Otto Hartman: Greatest spot in the world! I wish I was there now.
- Otto Hartman: I've been slavin' my life away on this island for 10 years. And what for? What for?
- Lan Ying Lin: Money, of course. You're doing a good business.
- Otto Hartman: Huh, you think runnin' this joint's my real business?
- Lan Ying Lin: Isn't it?
- Otto Hartman: No. Listen, baby, people from all over the world try to sneak in through Uncle Sam's back door. And helpin' 'em do it's my business. And believe me, sister, it's some business.
