: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.

:55:10
Well, Miss Davis.
:55:12
What have I done to deserve the
honour of your visit at this hour?

:55:17
You've ordered
the murder of Mah-Li.

:55:19
Well, couldn't we speak
of something more pleasant?

:55:25
Here I have some
excellent brandy.

:55:29
It's supposed to be
over 1,000 years old.

:55:32
Would you like to try it?
:55:33
You're murdering her just to
satisfy a cruel, jealous revenge.

:55:40
May I?
:55:49
Mah-Li has been betraying
military secrets to my enemies.

:55:52
Can't you silence her
in some other way?

:55:56
Yes.
:55:58
In the old days,
