- Mabel Greenfield: I'm desperate! I love him - you don't and he doesn't really love you. He's too old for you.
- Shosho: He isn't too old for me - - but you're too old for him.
- Mabel Greenfield: [VIc walks up to Mabel from behind and kisses her bare shoulder] I wish you wouldn't behave like that, Victor - I don't like it, and I've told you before.
- Male Nightclub Patron: That's Valentine Wilmot. He runs the Club; he started it and made it - - he also started Mabel and made her, too. You can imagine the rest.
- Valentine Wilmot: Just imagine the whole place being upset by one little Chinese girl in the scullery. Dancing in the scullery - and upsetting your dancing in the restaurant!
- Valentine Wilmot: [Referring to Vic] I'm just getting rid of this conceited ass - - and what do you think he says?
- [to Vic]
- Valentine Wilmot: Tell her what you've just told me.
- [to Mabel]
- Valentine Wilmot: He has the impudence to say that you're in love with him and that it's you who've encouraged him.
- Mabel Greenfield: He knows it isn't true.
- Shosho: I did dance once in public - in Limehouse. I live down there. They wouldn't let me dance again, sir - there was trouble between two men - knives, policemen.
- Valentine Wilmot: Well, then, it's all agreed - except the salary.
- Shosho: You'll see what I can do first, and then tell me what you can pay.
- Valentine Wilmot: You need a Chinese costume - there's a place in Soho.
- Shosho: No - not Soho. There's only one place for Chinese costumes - it's a shop in Limehouse.
- Mabel Greenfield: Yes, you're frank now! But you never told me about her dancing in your private office in the middle of the night.
- Mabel Greenfield: I want you to leave Valentine alone.
- Shosho: Oh! You want me to give you back what you couldn't keep!
- Juror: Was she in the habit of receiving men visitors at night?
- Jim: Shosho - she wanted Mr. Wilmot to give up the white woman. They had a big quarrel about it. I told her Mr. Wilmot would soon tire of a Chinese girl.
- Judge: This is a serious development. Where is the Chinese boy?
