• Hotshot Charlie : Wonder what kind of a run Chops has for us today.

  Terry Lee : If he's up to par, it'll add up to low pay and high blood pressure.

• [reading Koo's obituary] 

  Terry Lee : Harrison Koo - King Midas himself!

  Hotshot Charlie : So the old boy's finally grounded. Wonder what he looks like.

  Chopstick Joe : A stiff countenance no doubt.

  Terry Lee , Hotshot Charlie : Oh, no!

• Terry Lee : The note - that perfume...

  Hotshot Charlie : What about it?

  Terry Lee : There's only one person with perfume like that in the Orient.

  Hotshot Charlie : The Dragon Lady!

  Chopstick Joe : Oh, no. She wouldn't double-cross an old pal like Chopstick Joe.

  Hotshot Charlie : Aw, she'd dice you up for a dime, fat boy.

• Terry Lee : Hotshot, old boy...

  Hotshot Charlie : Terry, my lad...

  Terry Lee : Dragon Lady.

  Hotshot Charlie : Lu San.

  Terry Lee : I'll take the high road.

  Hotshot Charlie : And I'll take the low.

  Chopstick Joe : And I'll take aspirin.

• Dragon Lady : You had better go now, Mr. Lee. You will learn nothing here!

  Terry Lee : But you're the girl who can teach me. See you around, D.L.

• Hotshot Charlie : Curiousity killed the cat.

  Dragon Lady : And you both are exceedingly curious.

  Terry Lee : Yeah, well, if we got go, there's one burning question...

  Dragon Lady : Your American humor escapes me.

  Hotshot Charlie : Note the coffin, note the contents. Sandbags!

• Dragon Lady : So where is the body?

  Hotshot Charlie : You tell us.

  Terry Lee : You don't think that we... Oh, hold on, D.L. We get mixed up in a lot of crazy things but body snatching is a little out of our line.

  Hotshot Charlie : Unless it's five foot four, eyes of blue - and alive.

• Terry Lee : Tell the boys to point the artillery the other way.

  Hotshot Charlie : Yeah, we're getting powder burns.

• Chopstick Joe : There you are flyboys - paid in full.

  Terry Lee : I read in the paper where Harrison Koo's body was finally interred in the ancestral plot. Just thought you'd be interested.

  Chopstick Joe : Very complicated plot I should say, but Air Cathay always delivers - coffins or coconuts, eh, boys?

  Hotshot Charlie : The only other coffin we want to fly is yours.
