This deportation center marks a bold new era in our city, one in which we will no longer tolerate the damage being done to our society by the lawless encroachment of the Chinese. Murder, prostitution, and slave labor have gone unchecked for too long. Through the efforts of my office and the San Francisco Police Department, we will put these criminals and interlopers where they belong. Not on our streets. But on boats. Back to whence they came. As mayor, I will work hand in hand with the governor to ensure that the Exclusion Act passes. Together we will restore America to her former glory. And bring prosperity to the honest, hard-working citizens who built this great country of ours.

Chief Atwood: You have something you wanna say to me, boy?
Young Jun: [speaks in Cantonese]
Chief Atwood: Sorry, I didn't catch that.
Young Jun: Fuck your mother smelly pussy!

I can see why other cops didn't like you. You actually work for a living.

Agent Mosley

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Hong

You know, my father isn't perfect. But he sacrificed everything to bring us here to America. And in spite of how awful it has been, I still really think it's the land of opportunity. People like us just need to try a little bit harder.

Nellie: Ah Toy, you cannot take these girls back to the brothel. We worked so hard to get them out of there.
Ah Toy: You no protector! You no protect them here. In Chinatown, I can.

I saw you at the riots. You came in like some avenging angel. Here to save us. But then you come to my shop with Young Jun to collect, and I realized you are not an angel or a warrior.

Yan Mi

I'm not the man you threaten, Mr Leary. I'm the man with whom you make a deal.

Douglas

Of course. I read all about it in The Register. Nellie Davenport, savior of Chinatown whores. I just wonder how they'd make of you now sharing a bed with one.

Douglas

I am a federal officer empowered by the President of the United States, and you will render any assistance I ask for with a fucking smile, or I'll have you working out of the basement while I make this office mine own.

Agent Mosley

Yan Mi: Your press is fine. You just have no idea how to fine-tune it for the bills you're trying to print.
Young Jun: Who said anything about bills?
Yan Mi: Green ink, scraps lying around. It's pretty obvious.

The price on your head says this country isn't big enough.

Warrior Quotes

We're losing protection money and we're losing guys. Either we find a way to dodge these ordinances or we're fucked.

Young Jun

Ah Sahm: You guys seem to have wandered off Long Zii territory. It's okay. We all get turned around now and then. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
Long Zii Guy: You're the one who's turned around, motherfucker.
Ah Sahm: Wow, you escalated that pretty fast. Usually there's a little more repartee, a few zingers before the hatchets come out, you know?
