Ho Chong : And you, Reverend Lady, would care for protection for treasured parts?
Gloria Tatlock : No, thank you.
Ho Chong : Your lips and ears, perhaps?
Gloria Tatlock : Thank you, I said no.
Ho Chong : Your twin pagodas, maybe?
Gloria Tatlock : Definitely not!

Glendon Wasey : I don't think the haven's in much danger.

Ho Chong : Like Western companies, I insure those parts of the body deemed most precious by my customers.
Glendon Wasey : How big a policy we got to buy to find Wu Ch'En She?
Ho Chong : Here's a fine bargain: the armpits, the genitals and both ankles. Only 40 Shanghai dollars.
Glendon Wasey : What have you got for 30?
Ho Chong : For 30 dollars, I could do the armpits, the genitals, and both ankles; but, I could not find Wu Ch'En She!
Glendon Wasey : Okay, how about, the armpits, the genitals...
Gloria Tatlock : Mr. Wasey, would you please conclude this transaction.
Glendon Wasey : All right. We take your 40 dollar policy.

Glendon Wasey : I wish you'd give up this opium business and just go back to saving souls.

Glendon Wasey : No, you're not lost in the woods. You're lost in a jungle. Shanghai's the most dangerous city...

Glendon Wasey : Perhaps I'll stay around here awhile.
Gloria Tatlock : And do what?
Glendon Wasey : I could give being a missionary a try.
