Quotes 

• Chang : We are not in Truckee, Mr. Bohannon. Merely passengers on a train. A small alcove of civilization. Surely, we can put our differences aside and enjoy the ride together.

  Cullen Bohannan : [train whistle blowing]  Mmm-hmm...

  Chang : Tin Hau Don, the Heavenly Empress Festival, is upon us. Each year I throw a celebration because my men, though far from home, long for China and its traditions. A shopping expedition to San Francisco seems a small price to pay to bring it to them. Don't you think?

  Cullen Bohannan : I think San Francisco's a long way to go for fireworks, Mr. Chang. I never was much for tradition.

  Chang : Such a western notion that the past does not matter. That the past can be forgotten.

• Chang : [toasting Bohannan]  I was told that, in America, to embrace the future, one needs to forget the past.

  [speaking in Cantonese] 

  Chang : So, I say, let old grudges and rivalries melt away with the winter snow, and allow new flowers to blossom in their place.

• [last lines] 

  Cullen Bohannan : [arriving after the shooting]  Who did this?

  Chang : The assassin was a white man, Mr. Bohannon. Ask anyone. Pity the only witnesses were Chinese.
