The Quest

Maxie Devine: [Before Chris' first fight] Chris, I don't know about you but I'm planning to see Times Square again.

Lord Edgar Dobbs: Chris! We were looking for you, weren't we?
Harry Smythe: Hmm, we were looking for you.
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Good to see you again, my boy. You got a little muscle, now famous. I always said you'd make it, right?
Harry Smythe: Hmm.
Christopher Dubois: You owe me.
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Yes, I do, Chris. And I always repay my debts. What do you want?
Christopher Dubois: The Golden Dragon.
Lord Edgar Dobbs: The Golden what?
Christopher Dubois: The Golden Dragon in the Lost City.
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Lost City?
Christopher Dubois: The best fighters will meet to compete in secret for the big dragon made of sun gold.
Lord Edgar Dobbs, Harry Smythe: [together] Sun gold?
Lord Edgar Dobbs: You think you can win?
Christopher Dubois: [hesitating] No.
Lord Edgar Dobbs: [impressed] You're learning.

Lord Edgar Dobbs: [Admiring The Golden Dragon] Harry, our little pension fund.
Harry Smythe: Yeah. Hey, Boss, how come nobody's watching this thing?
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Well, because they don't think anybody can lift it.

Christopher Dubois: [Dobbs and Harry were caught for an attempt to steal The Golden Dragon] What a mess!
Harry Smythe: Oh, yeah?
Lord Edgar Dobbs: I'm sorry, kid, we tried to run out. I guess that's a difference between us. I've never ever said I was sorry before. And I've never had a quest and it wasn't for me, not the one. I wasn't always a pirate, you know. Believe it or not, but for over 20 years I was a Jack Captain of Royal Navy. I raised the Union Jack's countries that you haven't even heard of. Fought in a great war and for what? For the glory of God? For British Empire? For his Majesty King? And when it was all over, what have I got left with? Well how, you win something, you lose something. Now you just watch your tail, son.

Riggi: Hey, clown boy! Get off of my street.
Christopher Dubois: Wait a minute.
Riggi: Hey, Dubois, what are you sick in the head or something? Please, grow up, go get yourself some new and nice clothes and come to work for me.
Christopher Dubois: I don't work for nobody.
Riggi: It's too bad, Dubois, it's too bad, you're a wasted talent, but nuts case, you know that. Suit yourself.

Khao: [to Chris after he failed to protect himself from an unexpected attack] Be ready at all times. You'll learn that, or you'll never become a Muay Thai fighter.

Christopher Dubois: Good morning, Champ.
Maxie Devine: Good morning, my ass. You think I was born yesterday? You don't have anything to do with this damn Ghan-Gheng do you? Huh? And you're not no valet either. You're nothing but a CHEAP-LYING PUNK!
Christopher Dubois: Take it easy.
Maxie Devine: Take it Easy? You're ain't no fighter either. You've wouldn't last One Round in a Real Fight. WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT?
Christopher Dubois: [Pushes Maxie] HEY!
Maxie Devine: [Takes his coat off to fight with Chris] You want some? Come on! COME ON!

Bartender: [after being amazed of the Old Man's ability to fight] Where did you learn how to fight like that?
Christopher Dubois: It was long ago.

Carrie Newton: [Hearing a local talking about a Muay-Thai fight match in the parade] What's he saying?
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Harry?
Lord Edgar Dobbs: Something about a Muay-Thai tournament tonight. Fighting or something.
Carrie Newton: That's what I desire.
Harry Smythe: Brutality? Strictly for peasants.
Carrie Newton: I AM a JOURNALIST.
Harry Smythe: All right. Harry will arrange it.
