## Chong Wang

* Who loves you, baby?
* You know what I call him? Not Roy O'Bannon. Roy O'Baloney!

## Roy O'Brannon

* [as it starts raining] Oh, this country blows.
* That's a terrible name for a detective. Sherlock Holmes?
* Hey, Rathbone! I was just thinking of a title for my new book. "Roy O'Brannon vs. Little Lord Sissy." Or how about "Roy O'Brannon versus the Man who would be Queen?"
* I call that my kung pow chicken.
* [in London] Hey, I'm walking here! You're driving on the wrong side of the road! Bunch of amateurs, these people don't get it!
* I'm gettin' ready to launch a little thing called operation sweep her off her feet.
* [to Chon Lin] You have a GREAT body. There! I said it! It's out in the open!
* Ooooh... You think you're so cool with your karate... and your child-like reflexes!
* And just to set the record straight... Roy O'Brannon is not attracted to loose women; loose women are attracted to me.
* I see a lot of myself in that kid. It's kinda freakin' me out.
* I'm a 30 year old waiter/gigolo. Where's the future in that?
* Hey, Chon, you're lucky I didn't invest in that ridiculous "auto-mobile" idea. Yeah, that's gonna make a lot of money.

## Dialogue

    Doyle: I think you gentlemen should accompany me back to the Yard.
    [cut to Roy and Chon in a cell at Scotland Yard]
    Roy: This isn't a yard! It's a JAIL!
    [Lin slaps Chon Wang]
    Chon Wang: I just saved you!
    Chon Lin: You were late!
    Roy: Guys, do whatever you want to the kid, but that's my watch you're holding.
    Fagin #1: Well, there's a load of us, and only two of you, so piss off!
    Roy: Easy, fellas, you lost one war this way, don't make the same mistake twice.
    [why Chon should sleep with the woman for money]
    Roy: Think about your sister in London.
    Chon Wang: What?
    Chon Wang: It's a puzzle box. I don't know how to open it.
    Roy: What do you mean, you don't know how to open it? You just get a hammer and smash it open so you can see what it says.
    Chon Wang: No. I must have patience. By the time I'm able to open it, I will be ready to read the message.
    Roy: Oh, come on, Confucius, that's the corniest thing I've ever heard!
    Roy: Look at you!
    Chon Wang: Look at you!
    Roy: What brings you to New York?
    Chon Wang: My share of the gold.
    Roy: Refresh my memory. What gold are we talking about?
    Chon Wang: We are wasting time.
    Roy: What do you think I've been doing? Sittin' here and drinking expensive hooch? [to Charlie] Boy, refill.
    Chon Wang: I look like a fool.
    Roy: What? You're a Maharajah! That's Indian royalty!
    Chon Wang: But I'm Chinese.
    Roy: It's the same thing.
    Roy: So what did your dad do? Was he an imperial guard?
    Chong Wang: No, much more important. He was the Keeper of the Imperial Seal.
    Roy: That's what I love about China. Everybody's job description sounds so damn cool!
    Chon Wang: Wu Chow!
    Roy: Wu who?
    [after Lord Rathbone has explained his plan to become King of England]
    Roy: Woah, woah, you're like twentieth in line for the throne.
    Rathbone: [annoyed] Tenth. But I'll soon be taking care of that...by process of elimination.
    [later]
    Roy: I'm guessing by your hasty retreat that you're still twentieth in line for the throne.
    Rathbone: TENTH!
    Chon Wang: For father.
    Chon Lin: For father.
    Roy: For Old Man Wang.
    Chon Wang: If you break her heart, I break your legs.
    Roy: That's fair.
