• Rogers : [Studying a chessboard]  Oh! Oh!

  Rogers : Have you found it yet?

  Rogers : Yes! No! It all came of having indecently exposed the Queen. Here.

  Ronald Petrie : Indecent's the word.

  Rogers : Yes, isn't it.

• Rogers : Not too late, I hope.

  Ronald Petrie : I told you stay home!

  Rogers : Not until I give a blow or two.

• Rogers : Oh, I beg your pardon, I'm intruding.

  Sir John Petrie : You want something, Rogers?

  Rogers : Oh, no, sir. Well, that is, you see, I blundered.

  Sir John Petrie : You what?

  Rogers : Well, it's my glasses. I don't see well without them. And I left them in the study when I came in here a few moments ago to get a copy of "Black Beauty." But instead, I got - I got... I've got it.

• Sir John Petrie : Now what about your private business?

  Rogers : Oh. Well, I have a problem, sir.

  Sir John Petrie : Oh! By all means, marry the girl.

  Rogers : Sir, it's not that sort of a problem.

  [Rogers knocks on wood] 

  Sir John Petrie : Oh, not that sort? Well, uh, what sort?

  Rogers : Well you see, in opening your letters, I try to keep from you advertisements, and that sort of thing...

  Sir John Petrie : Quite right.

  Rogers : - and... oh. Well, then, I'm justified. Thank you very much.

  Sir John Petrie : Well that was easily settled.

  Rogers : Oh, well, I wouldn't have bothered you, but you see, this was exceptional.

  Sir John Petrie : Advertisements?

  Rogers : Well they must be. They're not letters.

  Sir John Petrie : Let me see them.

  Rogers : Oh no no no, now I've annoyed you quite enough, and they're all really far too silly.

  Sir John Petrie : Rogers.

  [Rogers gives him the papers. All three sheets have a drawing of a Chinese dragon: the first just the image; the second has the phrase "THE GOLDEN DRAGON STIRS IN HIS SLEEP" below the drawing; on the third the text reads, "I WILL FOLLOW ON THE HEELS OF THIS GREETING FU MANCHU"] 

  Sir John Petrie : These are warnings of death. It's appalling! Why in heaven's name didn't you mention this before?

• Amah : Hello. Hello, give me Scotland Yard. I - no, no, no, SCOTLAND YARD. What? What's that? Well I have every reason for shouting. The circumstances are distinctly of a shoutable nature. Wha- what's that?... Well my dear young woman, let me tell you a brisk something! If you're going -

  [Ah Kee takes the phone from Rogers] 

  Rogers : Would you please give me Scotland Yard? Thank you.

  Amah : Well, wouldn't you have thought that - Was I really shouting?

• Rogers : Put up your hands!

  [He shoots Lu Chung] 

  Rogers : Stop, Ling Moy, stop!

  Rogers : I got him!

  Ronald Petrie : Good man! Get Sir Basil. I'll take care of her.

  Ling Moy : [They exchange a long look]  Let me surrender, in the spirit of the house of Fu.

  [She approaches him] 

  Joan Marshall : Ronald!

  Rogers : Joan!

  [Ling Moy tries to stab Ronald but is dealt a fatal gunshot by Ah Kee]
