Yuen Chung Quotes in The Killer Elite (1975)

Mike Locken: You know, it must be true about you people. You don't care if you die, right?

Yuen Chung: Of course, we do. It's in the manner of living and of dying one finds relevance.

Mike Locken: So that's how you're gonna do it. You're gonna go back to your country to die. I mean, who's gonna keep you alive when you're there?

Yuen Chung: I don't need an army. I'm not a revolutionary, nor do I want power.

Mac: We've heard that before.

Mike Locken: Oh, wait a minute. I, I understand it now. Y'see, he wants to go back to die on his own native soil. It's that salmon-up-the-river shit.

Yuen Chung: Every country, if hopes to become a democracy, needs at least one voice raised in opposition. I happen to be selected. Let just one other person hear my voice. That is a beginning! It's enough.

Mike Locken: Ha, I'll give you this: all the other sheep I've kept have always been running away from their countries. You're the first one that I've met that's jumping back into the frying pan.

Mac: That's what I was telling you before. You're risking your life, keeping him alive, and getting him back someplace where they're going to finish him off anyway.
