Quotes9

  • Harry Smythe: [Playing cards] Hey, Dobbs, what do you drink with tonic?
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: Don't tell me.
  • Harry Smythe: Gin!
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: I said don't tell me.
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: [to Maxie] I hope you'll enjoy Christmas in the Lost City.
  • Maxie Devine: [about the Chinese fighter] He's moving like an animal.
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: More like a snake.
  • [repeated line]
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: Trust me.
  • 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.
  • Harry Smythe: Man!Boss,these elephants are busting my rump.
  • Lord Edgar Dobbs: Stop it, Harry, we could've been in Cairo on camels.
  • 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.
  • 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.
