:09:01
Shanghai was a nasty place
in those days.
:09:05
An international settlement
run by seven nations.
:09:09
Because they had no country,
their life was worthless.
:09:12
They could be robbed, murdered.
Nobody bothered.
:09:17
Countess Natascha,
the one sitting next to you...
:09:20
has had rather a sad life.
:09:23
She was the mistress
of a gangster at the age of 14.
:09:26
How did the others
manage to live?
:09:29
Many starved,
others committed suicide.
:09:33
Some of the women
worked in dance halls.
:09:35
The men had to compete
with the cheapest labour because
they couldn't leave the country.
:09:44
I think Harvey
is very good-looking.
:09:47
A lot of good that'll do you.
He's penniless.
:09:50
So what? Haven't you
any romance in your soul?
:09:53
Money makes me romantic.
:09:55
I thought Harvey
was the one with the dough.
:09:58
You have poor instincts, my dear.
It's the other one, Ogden Mears,
who has the money.
:10:03
He's the son of the richest oilman
in the world, and Natascha's
got him hooked.
:10:08
Mr Ogden?
He's very attractive.
:10:16
Only in her case,
she's found oil.
:10:18
Well, you can have
your big oilman.
:10:22
He's here today
and gone tomorrow.
:10:24
But I shall stick to old Papa Clark.
:10:26
He took me away
from the dance halls.
:10:45
Listen, Milton...
Pardon me, Mr Milton Clark.
:10:48
Would you like to dance?
:10:51
Natascha.
