Shanghai Knights Page #2
-Roy.
Okay, look.
l'm in a transitional phase
in my life.
-But...
-But what?
You want to know the truth?
l see you.
You've got a sense of purpose.
But look at me.
l'm a 30-year-old waiter/gigolo.
Where's the future in that?
So what's the plan?
You were always
my compass, Chon.
The plan.
You ask me the right questions.
The plan?
The plan, l think,
is to find the right woman.
Raise a lot of children
and teach them values.
No, Roy.
The plan to get out of here.
Okay, the plan.
Here we go.
-Cops! Cops!
-They can help us.
No, no.
Chon, not these cops.
These are dirty cops.
They take advantage of people.
Now, if they stop us, remember,
l'm not Roy O'Bannon.
Who are you?
l'm your friend Smoky Desperado
from the West.
And who am l?
You. You're Benihana.
-Benihana.
-Yeah.
You teach crippled children yoga
here in the city.
-You go first.
-No! Why me?
Because you blend in, okay?
Now, go!
Don't let them see you!
Benihana.
Hey! Hey!
Chon!
Come on.
Stop wasting time.
You!
Chon, l found our ticket
out of here.
We're on our way.
Looks like old Roy
came through again.
Just like old times, Chon.
Check over there!
-Over to the alley!
-That way!
Yeah, just like old times.
Will you forget about the gold
for a second?
You're gonna have more money
than you ever dreamed of
when that first zeppelin
takes off.
What do you mean?
You're lucky l didn't invest
in that ridiculous
automobile idea.
Yeah, that's gonna make
a lot of money.
What's that?
Doghouse.
l'm in the doghouse.
Oh, come on, Chon.
Look, l'm sorry l lied.
l just didn't want to
disappoint you.
That's exactly what l mean.
l can't take that look.
l learned it from my father.
That's how he used to look
at me.
What did your dad do?
Was he an lmperial Guard?
No.
Much more important.
He was the keeper
of the lmperial Seal.
That's what l love
about China.
Everybody's job description
sounds so damn cool.
The seal has been symbol
of the emperor's power
since Genghis Khan.
lt has been passed down
from one emperor to another.
My family have been watching
over it for 12 generations.
My father and l used to
and talk about a day
l was his only son.
lf l'd have been there,
lt's not your fault.
You were 3,000 miles away.
What's with that little box?
My sister sent it to me
from my father.
-There's a message inside.
-What's it say?
lt's a puzzle box.
l don't know how to open yet.
What do you mean?
Get a hammer and smash it open
so you can see what it says.
