Ko Quotes in A Better Tomorrow II (1987)

[Ko has Lung pinned down and at gunpoint]

Ko: What makes you think that the good guys always win?

[Ken and Ho both shoot Ko. After Ko hits the ground, Lung shoots him in the head]

Lung: What makes you think that the bad guys always win?

Mae: [extremely upset] Why?

Ko: Why ? That's a very vague question, don't you think.

Mae: You always do this.

Ko: Consistency is a very rare trait these days, you should be proud.

Kaji: [furious over the recent escape of Chinese POWs under his supervision] I've given up on all of you. You said you'd wait. You might think I'm a fool, but even a fool has his limits! Another escape and you'll all go without food for three days. I'll turn your men against you and break your authority in this camp!

Kô: You Japanese are all the same!

Kaji: Fine! Then I'll act accordingly. All promises are hereby retracted. Now I realize there can be no trust between us.

Kaji: The investigation is over, but I don't believe you tried to escape.

Kô: You're turning us over to the Kenpeitai?

Kaji: I don't intend to. But you never had faith in me before. Perhaps it's best to doubt me now as well. Those men have all the power! I have none! I'll do everything I can until tomorrow evening.
