Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing Page #3

why not ask him now?

Oh, I don't think he likes correspondents.

And anyway, I'd like to finish up

our own little interview.

Am I being interviewed?

I want to know why you're so sure

that destiny has nothing in store for us.

Well, I'm interested only

in one thing:
Medicine...

and because I know myself.

You sound secure. I doubt

whether anyone is that secure.

I have known but one man in my life.

My husband. He was a nationalist general.

Captured and shot by the Communists.

I believe in the human heart now

only as a doctor.

I bet you're a good doctor.

But I still think that destiny might have

something in store for us after all.

- Why?

- Because you've retreated to a tower,

and the only trouble with an ivory tower

is it's a temptation to lightning.

Lightning will not strike me, Mr Elliott.

Your honourable fish, sir.

Thank you for the moon

and the honourable fish

and the lovely evening.

You're entirely welcome.

I don't know when I've

enjoyed an evening as much.

I don't know when I've

enjoyed an evening as much.

- Good night.

- I want to tell you something. I'm married.

- I knew you were married.

- And you still went out with me?

If you were happily married

there could be no danger,

and if you weren't,

it could make no difference.

Will I see you again?

Uh... I think not.

I think so. I'll call you about next Wednesday.

- Good night, Suyin.

- Good night.

- Good morning, Dr Sen.

- Good morning, Dr Han.

(speaking Cantonese)

You combine artistry with medicine, Dr Han.

Oh, no. Just with love and sympathy.

(speaking Cantonese)

It's a great privilege to watch you.

Ten days ago we didn't think she would live.

Look at her now. She will be walking soon.

Have her parents or family been located?

No, but the police are still searching.

However, with a million refugees

from China in Hong Kong now,

and more arriving each day, it is like

looking for a needle in a haystack.

And more arriving each day, it is like

looking for a needle in a haystack.

Why do they leave China?

What can they expect to find here?

- A home.

- Their home is China.

We'll mend her bones, make her well enough

to send back into the streets to starve.

Oh, no. Not Oh-No.

Someone will give her a home.

Dr Han, Mr Palmer-Jones

would like to speak with you.

Thank you.

Who will in Hong Kong give her a home?

- Or any of the others like her?

- Oh, you can't tell.

I might adopt her myself.

- Good morning, Mr Palmer-Jones.

- Dr Han.

My wife says that nobody has

been near her this morning.

I'm sorry. I suppose we are late. The wards

are so crowded, we haven't caught up yet.

- Do you visit the wards first?
