Shadows Over Chinatown

Charlie Chan:
[to Tilford as he enters bus station on stormy night] Hot stove make all akin on night like this.

Jimmy Chan:
Did you find out anything, Pop?

Charlie Chan:
Not enough to fill up ear of gnat.

Charlie Chan:
Believe if you will consent to bait trap, we may catch same.

Mary Conover:
I'll be very glad to do anything I can to help.

Charlie Chan:
Thank you. My first thought, of course, was police, but ancient proverb say, "Never bait trap with wolf to catch wolf."

Birmingham Brown:
[Referring to Charlie] Hey, Jimmy, what does he mean about Bureau of Missing Persons?

Jimmy Chan:
Well, that's where you find things that are missing.

Birmingham Brown:
I'm missing my breakfast. Let's find that.

Charlie Chan:
Number Two Son like flea on dog - always must have fine tooth comb to find same.

Jimmy Chan:
Com'on, Birmingham. Shake a leg.

Birmingham Brown:
Who do you think I am? Man O' War? I ain't run this fast since I ran into a hornet's nest!

Jimmy Chan:
[Watching a frightened Birmingham repeatedly crash into the wall on the stair landing of the morgue] Where are you going, Birmingham? That's not a door up there!

Birmingham Brown:
It will be in a minute.

Curio Shop Owner:
[to Birmingham and Jimmy in the curio shop] Are you gentlemen interested in buying any curios?

Birmingham Brown:
Well, I'm curious enough to make my departure. Would you kindly tell me where the door is please?

Charlie Chan:
Confucius say sleep only an escape from yesterday.
