:17:31
- Excuse me.
- That's all right.
:17:33
This is my favorite spot.
No one comes up here anymore but me.
:17:37
- Live here long?
- Seven years.
:17:40
- You must like it.
- Sometimes I hate it.
:17:43
Sometimes I think
if I have to stay another day...
:17:45
I'll turn to stone,
like everything else in Chiku Shan.
:18:02
If I don't, what then?
:18:04
You wait for some other China skipper
to get washed ashore?
:18:08
I should think you'd be proud
to do something for these people.
:18:11
There's 500 million of these people.
:18:14
I don't intend to play David
to China's Goliath.
:18:18
- What are they doing with those stones?
- That's one of our secrets, Capt. Wilder.
:18:23
Down Blood Alley in a ferryboat.
:18:26
Give it to me straight.
:18:27
There must be some better reason...
:18:29
why your three wise men
chose the ferryboat.
:18:32
There is. Mr. Tao's nephew
is the chief engineer.
:18:37
Keeping it in the family?
:18:43
Your father must be a big man.
:18:45
He is, here.
The Reds intend to keep him here.
:18:48
- He's the only doctor along the river.
- When is he getting back?
:18:52
I don't know. They flew him
all the way down to Haifeng...
:18:55
to operate
on some very important commissar.
:18:58
What does he think of this ferryboat trip?
