Captain of SS Victoria: Well, what am I going to do with you?

Susan Parker: I'll look after her.

Sun Lo: I hope you will always remember the sayings of our wise men.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: I will, because you taught them to me.

Sun Lo: It was an honor to instruct the child of my friends, your honorable father and mother.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Friendship is like a shelter from the rains of trouble.

Sun Lo: And so it is my wish to protect you from trouble that may be here very soon. Bad men are on their way here. There will be looting and destruction. I have arranged for Chang to take you to the home of my honorable brother in Shanghai.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Shanghai? Oh, that's wonderful! I remember all the stories my daddy used to tell me about it.

Mrs. Hope: What did you mean when you said you didn't know how you got aboard this ship? You must know!

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: But I don't. The last thing I remember is I fell asleep in Uncle Tommy's car.

Susan Parker: Tommy who?

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Randall. Tommy Randall.

Susan Parker: Tommy Randall? Why, your Uncle Tommy is on board this ship!

Mrs. Hope: I might've known you were his niece. He's a problem child, too.

Susan Parker: I'll take you to him.

Mrs. Hope: Considering his reputation, you'd better turn her over to the Captain.

Atkins: There's a young lady to see you, sir, I think it's rather urgent.

Tommy Randall: Oh? That's not so bad.

Atkins: She has a child with her, sir.

Tommy Randall: Oh, that is bad.

Atkins: She also has the captain with her, and he insists upon seeing you, sir.

Tommy Randall: Oh, that's very bad!

Atkins: Here you are, sir?

Tommy Randall: What's that?

Atkins: Your checkbook, sir.

Tommy Randall: I don't know what your game is, young lady, but it won't work! I've never seen you before in my life, and besides I have witnesses to account for my whereabouts for the past twenty-seven years!

Susan Parker: Mr. Randall!

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Uncle Tommy!

Tommy Randall: Ching-Ching!

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: This is Susan Parker, my best friend. He's my best friend, too. Don't you think she's extravagant?

Tommy Randall: She's magnificent.

Susan Parker: Thank you. Charming little niece you have there.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: I'm not really his niece, Susan. I'm just pretending.

Captain of SS Victoria: Mr. Randall, aren't you the child's uncle?

Tommy Randall: No, we met in Shanghai yesterday for the first time.

Susan Parker: Richard! This is a surprise!

Richard Hope: It's a surprise for me, too.

Susan Parker: Oh, uh, Richard, this is Mr. Randall, and this is Miss Ching-Ching Stewart. I never thought I'd see you here.

Richard Hope: Evidently not.

Susan Parker: Weren't you surprised to see him here?

Mrs. Hope: Hardly. I sent for him.

Susan Parker: Marvelous. I love surprises, and I hardly ever get them.

Mrs. Hope: Susan, I think your friends will excuse you.

Susan Parker: Oh, Tommy, I must be going. You'll look after Ching-Ching, won't you?

Tommy Randall: She'll be perfectly fine.

Susan Parker: [leaving] Goodbye, darling.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Goodbye, Aunt Susan. You like Susan, don't you, Uncle Tommy?

Tommy Randall: You could call it that.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: I don't see how anyone could have fun with that Mr. Hope.

Tommy Randall: I'm afraid fun isn't everything, Ching-Ching.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Susan, close your eyes and put out your hand. I have something for you.

Mrs. Hope: Susan! Where did that come from?

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: From Uncle Tommy.

Richard Hope: Who?

Susan Parker: Well, I asked him not to buy it.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Look, he bought me a bracelet, too.

Mrs. Hope: That must have cost...

Susan Parker: Three hundred dollars. I saw the price tag.

Mrs. Hope: He wouldn't have spent that much money if he didn't think you were interested in him.

Susan Parker: I don't think I'm even going to answer that.

Richard Hope: Of course, you'll return it, won't you, Susan?

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Are you really and truly my parents now?

Susan Parker: We're the only parents you've got, darling.

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: Sun Lo says a child without parents is like a ship without a rudder.

Judge J.D. Booth: Now, Ching-Ching, have either of the parties ever evidenced by their actions any proper legal grounds for divorce?

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: There is utterly no grounds for disturbing the marital status of the contestants.

Randall's Lawyer in Reno: This is most irregular, your honor. The child clearly doesn't know what she's saying!

Judge J.D. Booth: Oh yes, she does! Isn't this entire divorce case just the result of two adults behaving like stubborn children, refusing to break down and admit that they're in love with each other?

Barbara Stewart aka Ching-Ching: To be with the one you love is better for your health than medicine.

Judge J.D. Booth: That sounds like a Chinese proverb.

Tommy Randall: Oh, Judge, you haven't heard anything yet.
