I am afraid you misunderstood
my purpose in sending for you.

1:12:21
I'm not altogether a fool.
1:12:26
You didn't think I meant
the conventional thing, did you?

1:12:29
Didn't you?
1:12:31
Do you think General Yen could accept
anything that the heart did not freely give?

1:12:39
Oh, no.
1:12:41
That opportunity has been open
to me ever since you came here.

1:12:50
It was your life you put up
as a forfeit for Mah-Li's loyalty.

1:12:57
My life?
Yes.

1:12:59
What else did
you think it meant?

1:13:05
Oh, I see.
1:13:07
You are afraid of death
as you are afraid of life.

1:13:18
You want me to send you back
to your Dr. Strike?

1:13:21
He speaks the same
meaningless words as you do.

1:13:25
He has everything you want.
1:13:28
You would like to be able
to boast to him

1:13:30
that the great General Yen,
whom everybody feared,

1:13:34
was destroyed because
he was fool enough to hope.

1:13:39
Well, why don't you go?
1:13:41
Go on to him.
1:13:45
You've taught me a terrible lesson.
Yes.

1:13:48
But to be able to do good works,
one has to have wisdom.

1:13:53
You depended too much
on your beauty.
