When I came to this country, I made myself a promise that I would never be bought or sold again. That I would never be subservient to another man. And that I would die rather than be anyone's whore. And then, with one careless spiteful word, you took that from me. Everything I fought and bled for. You turned me into a whore.
Mai Ling
Young Jun: Look. I'm not going to make you come. No one should have to kill their own family. But if there's any part of you that's thinking about trying to save her, I'm gonna stop you right now.
Ah Sahm: She's my sister.
Young Jun: And we're your brothers. It's time to make a choice, Ah Sahm.
Ah Sahm: OK.
Stewart: It's quite a rock.
Donna: It's too traditional for my taste.
Stewart: Still must cost a fortune.
Donna: Drop in the bucket for the Blake estate.
Stewart: You got him to propose quicker than I imagined.
Donna: You underestimated my charm.
Stewart: Hardly.
Leary: Your competitor, Strickland, has fallen on hard times.
Piers: Yes. I read about the accident with his bridge in the paper.
Leary: Everybody's luck runs out sometime.
Piers: For a man with his resources, one fallen bridge is a nuisance, not a calamity.
Leary: Turns out his investors feel otherwise.
Piers: I'm listening.
Leary: That contract will be in place soon. A lot of other city contracts are up for grabs. I've got the mayor's ear. Under the right conditions, I can make sure those contracts go to you.
Piers: And I assume those conditions mean hiring Irish labor.
Leary: That's part of it.
Piers: And the rest?
Leary: With your business expanding? You need a partner.
Piers: Partner? I really hadn't considered...
Leary: Good man. We ought to celebrate.
I can't tell you that what's out there is better. It wasn't for me. Maybe it's time to find out for yourself.
Ah Toy
Leary: My People need jobs now!
Douglas: Your people do half the work for twice the pay. I don't want the Chinese here any more than you do. But while they are here, you better believe I'm gonna make a dollar off of it. Now, if you finished waving your banner for the Emerald Isle, let's have a drink. Talk about your future.
Leary: I trusted you, and you fucked me.
There's an old fable that speaks eloquently to our collective grief today. It tells us that great wisdom only comes from great struggle. And were he here, Father June would tell me to skip the damn story and get to the point in much more colorful language.
Wang Chao
Douglas: You really think a man like you can ever stop a man like me?
Leary: Men like me are the only ones who can stop men like you. You've got all that money and all your connections, but when my boots are on your fucking chest, you'll break like anyone else.
Douglas: The gangster emerges.
Leary: You've never met the gangster.
Young Jun: By the way, Hong has a boyfriend. You will not remain on the edit.
Ah Sahm: No shit!
Hong: Well, not anymore.
Young Jun: The fuck are you talking about? What happened?
Hong: I brought my work home with me.
Young Jun: Well, fuck him then.
Leary: Time to go, lads.
Chief Atwood: No one's going anywhere. I always knew you weren't much of a cop, O'Hara. Harrison put the prisoners back in their cells, lock the door and then cuff these two and bring them up for processing.
Harrison: Sorry, Chief. I left my cuffs upstairs.
Big Bill: These boys don't belong here. We're paying their fines, and we're bringing them home.
Chief Atwood: We? It didn't take you long to find your level now, did it, Irishman? I hear you're fond of a wager, O'Hara. So here it is. You knock me down. The Donahue boys are free to go. Otherwise, the two of you join them.
Big Bill: Look. If you think I'm stupid enough to fight the chief of police...
Chief Atwood: [lands a blow on Big Bill's face]
Father Jun: Where are you coming from?
Young Jun: Mai Ling's wedding.
Father Jun: So she finally decided to marry Li Yong?
Young Jun: Yeah. Let's see how long he lasts.
Father Jun: He'll be fine. He's a follower, unlike Mai Ling and your brother.
Young Jun: That's not Ah Sahm.
Father Jun: His intentions may be different, but in the end, a man like that will never accept being led, so he'll always be a threat. Young Jun: He's been fucked up lately. But he would never challenge me for the tong.
Father Jun: That's what I said about you.
Agent Mosely: Drinks. Music. The whole spread. Long Zii knows how to throw a party, I'll give him that. Can't be cheap. Maybe we've been looking in the wrong direction. What is it?
Lee: Long Zii and Hop Wei at a party together.
Agent Mosely: Is that not part of the course?
Lee: Not without a lot more blood.
