Shanghai Express Page #4

You left me without a word purely

because I indulged in a woman's trick

to make you... jealous.

I wanted to be certain that you loved me.

Instead, I lost you.

I suffered quite a bit.

And I probably deserved it.

I was a fool to let you go out of my life.

I wish you could tell me

there'd been no other men.

I wish I could, Doc.

But five years in China is a long time.

I wish I had 'em back.

What would you have done with them?

There's a scheme of things. Sooner or later

we would have parted anyway.

- We might never have met again.

- We wouldn't have parted.

We'd have gone back to England,

married and been happy.

There are a lot of things I wouldn't have

done if I had those five years again.

There's only one thing I wouldn't have done.

What, for instance?

I wouldn't have bobbed my hair.

Good night, Donald.

- From one of your lovers?

- No.

- I wish I could believe you.

- Don't you?

Will you never learn to believe

without proof?

I believe you, Magdalen.

When I needed your faith, you withheld it.

And now, when I don't need it

and don't deserve it, you give it to me.

Waffles? Waffles?

Waffles? Waffles!

Waffles! Waffles!

Everybody is to get dressed. You are to be

taken from the train at the station.

Please leave all your luggage behind.

This way, please.

- This way, please.

- Quite a reception.

Me?

Yes, follow me upstairs.

Everybody told me there wasn't

the slightest danger.

Looks like the finish.

- I'll give anybody 10-1 we don't get out alive.

- You're wrong.

They're rebel troops but they won't harm us.

Say, where's Mr Chang?

C'est vrai, il n'est pas l.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had

something to do with this.

There must be something serious

or they wouldn't have stopped this train.

There is nothing behind it but robbery.

They won't get one penny out of me.

Mr Sam Salt.

It's Mr Chang, all dressed up

in a soldier's uniform.

I know what he wants me for.

And I told him a Chinaman had no future.

Do you mean to say Mr Chang

is responsible for this outrage?

He is, the scoundrel.

Such impudence,

asking me if I had any wealthy friends.

I knew they were holding us for ransom.

I thought his face seemed familiar.

The government has offered 20,000

for his capture alive or dead.

It will be a great day for China

when that price is paid.

Mr Eric Baum.

He's the head man, all right.

It's bad for my heart to climb these stairs up.

Verdammte Treppe!

I'm an invalid.

Did he get the jewels, Mr Salt?

Oh, what a shame.

He didn't take them after all.

- He got the phoney ones.

- Phony?

These are phony, too.

The real ones are in the safe in Shanghai.

I suppose they're imitation also.
