:05:04
Why anyone would want to live anywhere
but Hong Kong I can't understand.
:05:08
Where else could you get
ten servants for the price of one?
:05:11
By next month, the ratio will be 12:1.
Shanghai's fallen, you know.
:05:15
- The Reds will have all of China soon.
- We must all keep our heads here.
:05:19
I hope you'll write something dreadful for
your paper about those ungrateful Chi...
:05:24
Oh! John Keith.
:05:30
Now my party is a success.
:05:32
Adeline, this is Han Suyin,
my friend and colleague.
:05:35
Han Suyin, I feel I've known you
a long, long time.
:05:39
- You're a great artist, I understand.
- I'm a doctor.
:05:43
Oh, well, doctors are artists in their way.
:05:46
I knew I'd heard something wonderful about
you. John, you know everybody, don't you?
:05:51
- Suyin, I hardly expected to find you here.
- Doctor's orders.
:05:56
Adeline's husband is a hospital director.
:05:58
You must let me speak to him, Dr Han.
There might be a place for you on the staff.
:06:02
- Thank you, but I am already on the staff.
- Oh, how nice.
:06:06
Well, then, we won't have to tell him, will we?
:06:09
I want you to meet Father Lowe.
:06:11
He just escaped from China, too.
:06:13
But I haven'tjust escaped from China.
I've been studying medicine in England.
:06:18
I haven't been back to China for ten years.
:06:20
- But you are Chinese.
- Eurasian.
:06:23
My father was Chinese.
My mother was English.
:06:26
I think of myself as Chinese, however.
:06:29
I know exactly how you feel. The minute
I put on a Chinese frock, I feel Chinese.
:06:33
If you have capital invested, you can double
your money in Hong Kong in three months...
:06:38
Money, money, money. Is so sordid, dear.
:06:40
I want you to meet Dr Han.
This mercenary man is my husband.
:06:43
- Delighted, Doctor.
- And this is Father Lowe.
:06:46
- And Mr Beager, Mr Wong and Mr...
- Bohannen, dear.
:06:49
Oh, yes. And Mrs Wong, Madame Monet,
Mr Daney and Fiona Manton.
:06:53
Father Lowe is fresh out of North China.
:06:56
All the really nice people are getting out.
:06:58
- I was thrown out.
- Rice converts, thas what they were.
