:44:26
Oh, Miss Davis, I'm so glad
you changed your mind.
:44:30
This is Mr. Jones,
my financial advisor.
:44:32
Hello. How's the
missionary racket?
:44:35
And this is Captain Li, my aide.
:44:38
Please.
:44:40
You're a newcomer
in China, I take it?
:44:43
Yes, I landed
four days ago.
:44:44
You're learning an awful lot
about China in four days.
:44:47
I certainly have.
:44:51
No.
No champagne?
:44:54
That's Pol Roger, 1906.
:44:56
I wonder if I could
have a glass of water.
:44:57
Water? You'll catch
your death of typhoid.
:45:01
Your health, Miss Davis.
:45:03
And the same to you, Mrs. Yen.
:45:09
Oh, that chair is for my wife...
:45:11
who does not exist.
:45:14
As yet.
:45:15
You see, Mah-Li
isn't his wife.
:45:17
She isn't even allowed to
sit on the same level with us.
:45:20
She may seem
kind of lonely tonight,
:45:22
but I've seen her
with plenty of company.
:45:33
Excuse me.
:45:39
I was greatly relieved tonight
:45:41
when I heard there was another
American in this strange place.
:45:44
Well, thank you
for the compliment.
:45:45
But I guess I'm what's known in
the dime novels as a renegade,
:45:48
and a darn good one at that.
:45:51
I don't think I'd be
much of a relief to anybody.
:45:54
What's that?
:45:56
Oh, I was just trying to find out
the duties of a financial advisor.
