The Terror of the Tongs

The Tong Leader:
Have you ever had your bones scraped, Captain? It is painful in the extreme I can assure you.

Mr. Ming:
[to Jackson] A witness too frightened to talk is no witness at all.

Tang How - Tong Leader's Aide:
Why is it these Occidentals indulge their vices the same way they run their lives, full of noise and vulgarity?

The Tong Leader:
It's fortunate that they should choose to indulge in these vices. It gives us the opportunity to gratify them.

Tang How - Tong Leader's Aide:
The police have been called in.

The Tong Leader:
The police? The police have been ineffectual for the last hundred years, and will doubtless continue to be so.

Tang Hao, tong enforcer:
[to Jackson as he fakes illness to pull a gun] You underestimate the Oriental mind, Captain. The Chinese theater is the oldest in the world.

The Tong Leader:
He that loves pleasure shall by pleasure fall.
