:53:00
You've got a chill, Mah-Li.
:53:02
You go right straight to bed.
I'll order some hot tea.
:53:04
No. Don't bother.
:53:07
See? I have my hot-water bottle.
:53:10
That'll keep me
warm long enough.
:53:13
They aren't going
to take me far.
:53:15
Goodbye, Miss Davis.
:53:17
Look here, Mah-Li.
:53:18
I've wanted to tell
you from the first
:53:20
that if I could ever help
you in any way, I would.
:53:23
That's what I came to China for,
to help people.
:53:25
You are very kind, but I'm waiting
for the guards to take me away.
:53:31
Guards?
:53:32
What guards?
Where are they taking you?
:53:35
Not far.
:53:39
Oh, no, they won't.
:53:41
You stay right here, Mah-Li.
I'll go and see the general.
:53:51
What's the idea, Miss Davis?
Isn't it long past your bedtime?
:53:53
Is that any of your business,
Mr. Jones?
:53:55
Now, you don't fool me
even a little bit, young lady.
:53:58
Mah-Li's been spilling grief, and you're
all steamed up with Christian charity.
:54:02
Then it's true?
Sure it's true, but you keep out of it.
:54:04
Besides, the general's
gone to bed.
:54:06
If you think I'm going
to let that child be...
:54:08
Now, Miss Davis,
:54:09
maybe you think I acted pretty rotten
tonight, but I know what I'm talking about.
:54:13
Mah-Li's not your kind.
:54:14
She's just a conniving, little dame who
deserves every bit that's coming to her.
:54:18
Including murder, I suppose.
:54:19
Now, you let the general
be the judge of that.
:54:21
He runs his own show out here,
:54:23
with about 50 centuries
of authority back of him.
:54:25
You missionaries come out here and expect
to convert 500 million people overnight.
:54:29
Why, changing a leopard's
spots is duck soup
:54:32
compared to changing China.
:54:33
You know, you're lucky
to be alive out here yourself.
:54:35
Now, you go back to your
room, go to bed and behave.
:54:37
Not until I've seen the general.
:54:39
I'd like to see the general.
Please, Miss Davis.
:54:41
Have a little common sense.
:54:42
You have no right to go
to his room in that getup.
:54:45
Besides, I know
the general is a nice fellow.
:54:48
He's well-educated,
has lovely manners.
:54:50
But don't forget
he's a Chinaman.
:54:51
If you're through, Mr. Jones,
I'll do as I please.
:54:56
All right, young lady.
It's no skin off my nose.
