Quotes
-
Ah Kee : You will not kill him.
Ling Moy : By my sacred oath.
Ah Kee : Such an oath should never have been sworn. I tell you to release him.
Ling Moy : That cannot be.
Ah Kee : I warn you, I have a duty to Scotland Yard!
Ling Moy : Consider carefully before you leap to duty. If you try by force to leave, they will kill you. I do not want your blood on my hands.
Ah Kee : I cannot believe... but I see before me the madness of your house.
Ling Moy : Who shall search out these things, Ah Kee? Remember only that you love me, whoever I am.
Ah Kee : I have always hated the name of Fu Manchu.
Ling Moy : Forget that hate. I'm a woman. What is your hate against our love, against our eternal day together?
Ah Kee : It's the triumph of irony, that the only woman I have ever deeply loved, should be born of blood that I loathe.
Ling Moy : Look into my eyes, Ah Kee, and see us already sailing home to China, to the place you know, where the flowers smother the banks.
Ah Kee : Would you love a dishonored Ah Kee?
Ling Moy : Forever.
Ah Kee : And I would forever despise him! Where is Petrie?
Ling Moy : You honest fool. It was not for myself, but for your own life that I played at love with you. You have chosen to die.

Ling Moy : Heaven smiled upon our thanks.
Ah Kee : The greatness of the moment confuses Ah Kee.
Ling Moy : In this wine we pledge our troth.
Ah Kee : Ah Kee pledges his love and his life to Ling Moy... and in return she gives the counterfeit of love! Why did you poison the wine, and our love?
Ling Moy : It is an unworthy suspicion.
Ah Kee : What is Lu Chung doing here? What do you want with Petrie? Why is he lying senseless there?
Ah Kee : One answer will serve for everything: I am the daughter of Fu Manchu!

Ah Kee : [Last lines] Forever, Ling Moy. A flower need not love, but only be loved... as Ah Kee loved you.
