After all, how can you objectively judge
your own values?
I think it's possible
Do you?
Be a gentleman, will you,
and light my cigarette?
The Oriental woman
has always held a certain fascination...
...for you Caucasian men.
Is that not true?
Yes.
But that fascination is imperialist.
Or so you tell me.
Yes.
It is always imperialist.
But sometimes...
Sometimes it is also mutual.
This is my home.
Come another time...
...and we will continue
the process of education.
Oh...
What's...?
What are you doing?
Oh, I had the most amazing dream.
I'm surprised
you had the time to dream at all.
When did you get in last night, anyway?
Oh, I went to the, uh, Koenig's.
You know what's it like
when they get in a new shipment of beer.
I shan't go back there in a hurry.
Um...
Song Liling?
That is my father.
It was very good
that he did not live to see the revolution.
They would, no doubt,
have made him kneel on broken glass.
Not that he didn't deserve
such a punishment.
But he was my father.
I would have hated to see it happen.
There is an element of danger
to your presence.
You must know that.
It doesn't concern me.
It doesn't concern me either.
Well, perhaps.
I am slightly afraid of scandal.
What are we doing that's scandalous?
I'm entertaining you in my parlor.
Where I come from
that would hardly be construed as...
You come from France.
France is a country
living in the modern era.
Perhaps even ahead of it.
China is a nation...
...whose soul is firmly rooted
What I do,
even pouring the tea for you now...
...it has implications.
Please, go.
Please.
Monsieur Gallimard.
I never invited a man to my home before.
The forwardness of my actions
makes my skin burn.
Please, go now.
If I go now...
...what assurance will you have
that I'll ever return?
You are cruel.
Ren?
Shall we skip the Frisches' party?
No, you mistake the whole situation.
You're not going to bore me
with political talk.
It's most important
that you don't worry about it.
- No, no.
- Me, worry?
The Chinese masses
have accepted Communism...
...but they're used
Don't waste your time
even thinking about Frau Baden.
That woman's built like
the Forbidden City.
Everyone can look,
but no one gets inside.
I'm sorry, am I disturbing something?
Listen.
We have to say,
we're not at all pleased...
...with the way you've been sending back
our expenses for further documentation.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Because I found
two more questionable items tonight.
Is there something
you're trying to prove?
