Shanghai Express Movie Quotes
Mr. Henry Chang
All the money in the world can't wipe out his insult to me.
[Shanghai Lily tries to shoot him]
Mr. Henry Chang
You only had my interest before. Now you have my admiration. I could love a woman like you.
Shanghai Lily
You made me an offer to leave with you. Does it still hold good?
Mr. Henry Chang
I wouldn't trust you from here to the door. What assurance have I you won't trick me?
Shanghai Lily
I give you my word of honor.
Mr. Henry Chang
A man is a fool to trust any woman, but I believe a word of honor would mean something to you.

I wish I could believe you.
Shanghai Lily
Don't you?
Shanghai Lily
Will you never learn to believe without proof?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I believe you, Madeline.
Shanghai Lily
[She hands him the telegram]
When I needed your faith, you withheld it. And now when I don't need it, and don't deserve it, you give it to me.

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.

Shanghai Lily
Well, Doctor, I haven't seen you in a long time. You haven't changed at all, Doctor.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Well, you've changed a lot, Madeline.
Shanghai Lily
Have I, Doc? Do you mind me calling you "Doc," or must I be more respectful?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Ah, you were never respectful, and you always did call me "Doc." I didn't think I'd ever run into you again.
Shanghai Lily
Have you thought of me much, Doc?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Let's see. Exactly how long has it been?
Shanghai Lily
Five years and four weeks.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Well, for five years and four weeks, I've thought of nothing else.
Shanghai Lily
You were always polite, Doc. You haven't changed a bit.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
You have, Madeline. You've changed a lot.
Shanghai Lily
Have I lost my looks?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
No. You're more beautiful than ever.
Shanghai Lily
How have I changed?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I don't know. I wish I could describe it.
Shanghai Lily
Well, Doc, I've changed my name.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Married?
Shanghai Lily
No. It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
So you're Shanghai Lily.
Shanghai Lily
The notorious white flower of China. You heard of me, and you always believed what you heard.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
And I still do. You see? I haven't changed at all.

Don't tell me you've never heard of Shanghai Lily? Everybody in China knows her. She's a notorious coaster.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Well, sir, I supposed every train carries its cargo of sin, but this train is burdened with more than its share!
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Sir, you seem distressed.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
My name's Carmichael, Doctor of Divinity in the service of mankind. And whom have I the honor of addressing?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Well, sir, my name is Donald Harvey, Doctor of Medicine in the service of His Majesty. It's charming to make your acquaintance, sir.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Dr. Harvey, I want to put you on your guard.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
On my guard? Why, what's wrong?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
One of them is yellow and the other one is white, but both their souls are rotten.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
You interest me. Mr. Carmichael. I'm not exactly irreligious, but... being a physician, I sometimes wonder how a man like you can locate a soul, and, having located it, diagnose its condition as rotten.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
That's heathen talk, Doctor. You're a materialist, sir. Any man with half an eye should be able to see that those two women are riding this train in search of victims.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
A very grave charge, Mr. Carmichael. I don't know anything about the Chinese woman, but as for the other lady...
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Why, confound it, sir. That's Shanghai Lily. For the last fortnight, I've been attending a man who went out of his mind after spending every penny on her. And that's not all I know. She's wrecked a dozen men up and down the China coast.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Look here, sir, you're mistaken. She's a friend of mine.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Well, sir, if I were in your boots, I wouldn't brag about it.

Shanghai Lily
Why are you still holding Captain Harvey? The train is waiting for him.
Mr. Henry Chang
Is that your only interest in the matter?
Shanghai Lily
What difference would it make whether I said yes or no?
Mr. Henry Chang
Why do you try to conceal that you are madly in love with him?
Shanghai Lily
I'm not trying to conceal anything. He means everything in the world to me. I love him. Since you want to know, I love him madly.
Mr. Henry Chang
Your affections are aroused rather swiftly. You just met the man.
Shanghai Lily
That's not true. I've known him for years.
Mr. Henry Chang
Well, you'll have a chance to prove your love for him.
Shanghai Lily
You're not going to punish him for trying to help me last night?
Mr. Henry Chang
I certainly am. He knew what he was doing, and I know what I'm going to do.
Shanghai Lily
Any man would have come to my defense. You can't hold that against him.
Mr. Henry Chang
I'm not concerned with your ideas of justice. I live by my own code.
Shanghai Lily
What do you intend to do with him? You don't dare harm him. You promised to return him.
Mr. Henry Chang
I didn't say in what condition. If you wait here a few minutes, you can lead him back to the train, blind.
Shanghai Lily
You're insane. He's a British officer. The Chinese government will have your head for it.
Mr. Henry Chang
The Chinese government would have had my head long ago if it hadn't been such a good head.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Forgive me for following you a moment ago, Madeline. I was afraid of losing you.
Shanghai Lily
I was only buying you another watch.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
What good is a watch without you?
Shanghai Lily
I wish I could replace everything else, too. Good-bye, Donald.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I'm not going to let you out of my life again, Madeline. Everything else has become so unimportant. I don't care whether you were going to leave with another man or not, nor do I want to know the reason. What I want is another chance for a new start. I'll be different. You'll never have any cause for regret. Please forgive me for my lack of faith. Please do. I know I've no right to ask you even to listen to me.
Shanghai Lily
It's very easy to listen to you, Donald. You know I love you. I always have and I always will.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I don't deserve that. I know I behaved badly.
Shanghai Lily
Perhaps it was my fault. I should have told you everything.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
There's only one thing I want you to tell me, Madeline.
Shanghai Lily
What's that?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
How in the name of Confucius can I kiss you with all these people around?
Shanghai Lily
But Donald, there's no one here but you and I. Besides, many lovers come to railroad stations to kiss without attracting attention.

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?

Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Do you mean to say that Shanghai Lily is on this train?
Chinese attendant with hot water
Hot water, sir.
Sam Salt
It's about time. Well, being a married man, I only knew her by sight and reputation. But I'll lay you a hundred to one in any currency you've got that the lady in the next compartment is Shanghai Lily.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Shanghai Lily.
Sam Salt
Is it a bet?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
I told you once before, sir...
Hot towel woman
Hot towel, please?

Not at all. Come in.
Mrs. Haggerty
It's a bit lonely on the train, isn't it? I'm used to having people around. They put my dog in the baggage car. That's why I dropped in on you. I've been visiting my niece in Peking. She married a seafaring man. He hasn't been home in four years, and she ain't been very cheerful. I have a boardinghouse in Shanghai. Yorkshire pudding is my specialty, and I only take the most respectable people.
Shanghai Lily
Don't you find respectable people terribly... dull?
Mrs. Haggerty
You're joking, aren't you? I only know the most respectable people. You see, I keep a boardinghouse.
Shanghai Lily
What kind of a house did you say?
Mrs. Haggerty
A boardinghouse.
Shanghai Lily
Oh.
Mrs. Haggerty
I'm sure you're very respectable, madam.
Hui Fei
I must confess I don't quite know the standard of respectability that you demand in your boardinghouse, Mrs. Haggerty.
Mrs. Haggerty

Shanghai Lily
I'm weary of you now.
Mr. Henry Chang
I had no reason to believe my invitation would give offense to Shanghai Lily.
Shanghai Lily
Shanghai Lily has reformed.
Mr. Henry Chang
You don't mean to say that the eloquence of Dr. Carmichael has worked this miracle? Or is Captain Harvey to be credited with this extraordinary change?
Shanghai Lily
Maybe.
Mr. Henry Chang
Come, don't be a fool. I'll make it worth your while.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I don't know. I'll find out for you if you wish.
Shanghai Lily
Where's your watch?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I had it before I went into the station. I probably lost it there, together with a few ideals. I don't think I'll go back for it. After all, it's only a watch.
Shanghai Lily
I can't replace your ideals, but I'll buy you another watch when we get to Shanghai.

Mrs. Haggerty
I've never been so shocked in my life. I suppose the Chinese girl deserves all she's getting, but as for the other lady... Well, I'm not going to say anything. Of all the brazen creatures, playing the gramophone. Why, she's the most terrible woman I've ever met. I don't see how she can look any of us in the eye. Going off with the late Mr. Chang after the way he treated us. Bad enough she tried it before he held up the train, but after the way he tortured poor Mr. Baum...
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Look here, Mrs. Haggerty, I think you're doing the woman an injustice. I don't know what caused her to behave that way, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more behind this than appears on the surface.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Mr. Carmichael, when I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance yesterday, you volunteered an amazingly correct diagnosis of Shanghai Lily, and I see no reason for you to have changed it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Look here, Captain Harvey, I happen to know that she prayed all night for your safety.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I'd give anything in the world to believe the way you do, but I heard from her own lips she was leaving with Chang.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
That's rubbish!
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I wish it were.

If you're thinking of reforming me, you might as well save yourself the trouble.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
I'm not trying to reform you. I'm not trying to reform anybody right now. All I want is to settle something that's been puzzling me all day. Why did you decide to leave with that barbarian who was killed by her this morning?
[Hui Fei and Carmichael exchange glances as she leaves the compartment]
Shanghai Lily
What makes you want to know? Curiosity?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
You prayed last night, probably for the first time in years. This morning, you were to shamelessly leave with Chang. There's something wrong there. You can't tell me that a human being can do two things like that within six hours.
Shanghai Lily
Although it's nobody's affair but mine, I might tell you if you promise not to repeat it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Of course I won't repeat it. I came in here to find out for myself. I'm not interested in the others.
Shanghai Lily
He was going to deprive Captain Harvey of his eyesight. I had no other choice.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Does Captain Harvey know that?
Shanghai Lily
Does he act as if he did?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
He certainly does not. Despite the fact that I gave you my word not to tell anyone, I'm going to tell him this.
Shanghai Lily
You're not going to do anything of the kind. Mr. Carmichael, it may seem odd for me to use your language, but it's purely a question of faith. You see, once upon a time we loved each other. We parted, and I threw my life away because I didn't care to bargain for love with words. I haven't changed since them, and neither has he.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
You're still in love with him, aren't you?
Shanghai Lily
Yes.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
Is he still in love with you?
Shanghai Lily
I doubt it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
You're right. Love without faith, like religion without faith, doesn't amount to very much. I don't suppose I can help you.
Shanghai Lily
No.

Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Well, sir, did you find out what kind of a woman she is?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
I found out enough to realize that she's worth a dozen of you!
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I have no exaggerated idea of my own value, but just exactly what did she say to make you so emphatic on that point?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
She made me promise not to tell anyone, particularly not to tell you, but there's no restriction to my saying that you're a profound fool.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Be that as it may, you evidently place a great deal of faith in what Shanghai Lily says.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael
I know you men of science regard me and my kind as meddlesome fanatics, but I'd rather have one grain of my faith than all your scientific disbelief.

Shanghai Lily
You haven't a cigarette, have you, Doc?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
You appear to be nervous. Sleep would do you more good.
Shanghai Lily
What makes you think I'm nervous?
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
For one thing, your hands are trembling.
Shanghai Lily
That's because you touched me, Doc.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
I've been wanting to talk to you, Madeline. Mr. Carmichael tells me you prayed for me last night. I can't quite reconcile that with what followed. If you did pray for me, which I doubt, do you mind telling me why?
Shanghai Lily
I would have done that for anybody, Doc. Good night.

Sam Salt
Good-bye, Captain Harvey.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey
Mr. Salt.
Sam Salt
I owe you my life, and I'm not the man to forget it. Although between you and me, it isn't worth much.
