- Fu Manchu: [broadcasting by radio] Attention! Attention! This is Fu Manchu. Stand by for an important message. I repeat, this is Fu Manchu. You know now that I must be obeyed, that I am all-powerful. In two more days I shall give my commands. They will be carried out at once... or ten thousand shall die. Ten thousand. And one particular man. That is all.
- Nayland Smith: Do you know what this man was doing down in Limehouse?
- Carl Jannsen: No. No, I don't.
- Nayland Smith: I thought you wouldn't.
- Nayland Smith: [dropping a porcelain mask of Fu Manchu to the floor] And so, once again, the hunt is on.
- Sir Charles: Oh, by the way, what was the name of that Chinese man you were talking about?
- Nayland Smith: Fu Manchu!
- Sir Charles: I've never heard of him.
- [Nayland Smith offers a toast]
- Dr. Petrie: And a happy return to the days of hunting Fu Manchu.
- Nayland Smith: What made you say that?
- Dr. Petrie: What?
- Nayland Smith: What made you mention Fu Manchu?
- Dr. Petrie: I don't know.
- Nayland Smith: But you haven't mentioned him for months.
- Chief Magistrate: The prisoner before us, you have been tried and condemned of crimes almost without number. If it had not been for the tireless efforts of the foreigner who is with us today, you might still have escaped our vigilance. Your efforts to build an empire of crime have today brought you to the end you so richly deserve. Let all who envy your thirst for power take note of your fate. Executioner, in the name of Imperial China, death to Fu Manchu.
- [first lines]
- Chief Magistrate: In the name of Imperial China, your presence is commanded here to witness an execution.
- Nayland Smith: I had a very vivid dream last night, Petrie. I dreamt that Fu Manchu was still alive.
- Dr. Petrie: And you're taking that seriously?
- Nayland Smith: Well, I've been uneasy all day.
- Dr. Petrie: But you've told me a dozen times you saw him executed.
- Nayland Smith: Yes... Yes, I know.
- Sir Charles: I can assure you, sir, that the place is now an impregnable fortress. No Chinaman, or for the matter of that, any other kind of man can break into the Museum. At least not when I'm the Director.
- Nayland Smith: I can only repeat, Sir Charles, that Fu Manchu is no ordinary man.
- Nayland Smith: There's a man whom I thought was dead. Now, I believe he's still alive. He's cruel, callous, brilliant, and the most evil and dangerous man in the world. His men killed Mathius. I wanted to know if Professor Müller was working for him. That's why I broke in.
