Dr. Abernathy Quotes in West of Shanghai (1937)

Gen. Wu Yen Fang: [Introducing himself to the Westerners in the room] How you do? I am Fang. I speak most dang bad English. I think I make you understand.

Dr. Abernathy: We understand, General. We are your prisoners.

Gen. Wu Yen Fang: No, I your guest! But please not to leave the town. Tis not nice - make Fang mad.

Dr. Abernathy: Friends, I welcome you all to the Mission. But, I'm afraid these poor walls won't be much protection against Fang and his soldiers.

Gordon Creed: Fang is a blood-thirsty devil!

Dr. Abernathy: I've been laughing at devils all my life. Come with me and I'll show you where you're to sleep. Your rooms may not be comfortable, but they'll be clean. At least there'll be no vermin in them.

Gordon Creed: Not until the bandits get here.

Lola Galt: That's a jolly thought!

Gordon Creed: We have a number of men here. Why don't we do something to defend the place?

Dr. Abernathy: You can't fight China, Mr. Creed.

Lola Galt: [Kung Nui says something to her in Chinese] What did he say about me?

Dr. Abernathy: He gave you a name, that's all - small dragon.

Lola Galt: Well, tell him I've got a name for him too.

General Ma: So sorry, it is necessary for all foreign women to leave as soon as possible.

Dr. Abernathy: Very well. These two ladies are leaving in the morning.
