- Chen: Tell me the truth. No more lies. If I turn myself over to you, will you leave the Ching Wu School alone? The truth!
- Inspector: You have my word on it. Don't worry, on my word of honor.
- Chen: Now you hear this! I will accept punishment for the lives I took. You just leave this school alone!
- Japanese consulate: Yes, of course! Of course!
- Chen: [Chen doesn't believe the reports that Teacher died from pneumonia] Oh, I see! And you believed what you were told. He was well. There was nothing wrong with him. How could a healthy man die?
- [first scenes]
- [Chen comes home to find his teacher being buried]
- Chen: Teacher...
- [he goes berserk, trying to claw at the ground, and has to be restrained by his friends]
- [an exhausted Chen comes home after fighting]
- Chen: [sadly, to Le-erh] To think I was going to ask you to be my wife...
- [At the Shanghai Park gate]
- Sepoy: Hold it. What do you want?
- Chen: I want pass.
- Sepoy: Not allowed, I'm afraid.
- [Points to a sign that says "No Dogs And Chinese Allowed." A dog walks in]
- Chen: And that?
- Sepoy: You're the wrong color, so beat it.
- [a Japanese official walks by and stops at the gate]
- Japanese official: Hey you, come here! You want to get in there? Now, now, tell you what. There's only one thing you have to do. Pretend you're a dog and I'll take you in.
- [Chen has overheard the cook saying he poisoned his teacher. Enraged, he bursts in and shoves him against the wall]
- Chen: [shouts] Why did you kill my teacher? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
- [With each "Why?" he puts his fist into the cook. With the last blow, the cook's ribs crack and he dies]
- [a drunken Wu comes out and beckons to a rickshaw driver...]
- Chen: Where to?
- Wu: Home...
- [Chen takes him to a deserted street. Wu staggers out and *then* sees who his driver is]
- Wu: [falling to his knees] I was being used, have pity on me! Please, sir! Have pity...
- [Chen doesn't make a move, so he quietly creeps up behind him with his fist, but is struck senseless]
- Chen: [scornfully] Have pity!
- Wu: The Chinese are a race of weaklings. No comparison to us Japanese. Just look at yourselves. You're pathetic, you know that?
- Wake Eulogist: He aimed to strengthen our minds and the bodies of you, the young people, for the sake of China, our land.
