Lady from Chungking (1942)

[bunniefuu]

Is this the way you

work in the rice field?

Next time, I won't use my boot.

Now go to work.

He broke my boat.

Don't cry, Lu-Chi.

You, don't you teach your

child the wisdom of obedience?

Lu-Chi is not my child.

He is an orphan.

So then proper discipline

can be [inaudible]?

If the Japanese

soldier will permit,

I will show him how the new

order disciplines its youth.

Go on.

Lu-Chi, what is the plan

of our Japanese masters?

Plan of our kind Japanese for a

greater, cooperative East Asia.

Ah, good, the water is here.

Go get your drink, all of you.

Don't take too long.

Tell them the weapons

are not to be used now.

Hey, hey, hey, don't crowd.

Don't crowd, one at a time.

How about the goat?

Vegetables, I don't eat

them, fruit, all right, oh,

and the champagne, yeah.

See.

Skinny, five.

Heil Hitler.

Now, Lieutenant,

you see, nothing is

too good for General Kaimura.

Only a few hours before

General Kaimura's arrival,

has everything been arranged?

Oh, I promise you he will

find everything in order.

How about the general's quarters?

Oh, like Hitler's


Berghof in Berchtesgaden

or... or the Emperor's

Palace in Japan,

but better, and the ducks,

oh, you should see the ducks.

I raised them all from

tiny, little chicks,

and I fed them better

good than I eat myself,

and the fruit, everything


from my own garden.

How about champagne?

Yes, yes, we have champagne,

im... imported from France.

France?

Drop something?

What?

Why are you not

practicing with your voice?

I want you should sing the

best when the general comes.

Who do you think I

am, Madam Butterfly?

Never mind, what

song will you sing?

"Lullaby to a Dying Duck."

Oh, that sounds... what?

[inaudible], quick, get it.

Three Jap planes against

one American b*mber.

You Japanese are

wonderful marksmen.

That was a Japanese

plane which came down.

Yeah?

Get to work.

Aw, these flames.

Too bad.

That's an American

plane that's in flames.

Good, good.

Heil, Hitler.

Stand by with the car.

Japanese sentry must die.

Don't use the g*n.

Put him in the ditch.

You go help the other one.

Who are you, lady?

Your friend, we're

all your friends.

Where are they taking

my pal over there?

It's all right.

We have a hideout where

he'll get medical attention.

Say, haven't I seen

you someplace before?

Never mind that, look.

Wait a minute.

I don't know where I'm going,

but I'm gonna take a couple

of those babies with me.

Drop that g*n.

Take him away.

Look for the other flyer.

You used excellent judgment.

It is my duty to the new order.

Cleverness does not seem

to be your only virtue.

This is not a coolie hand.

The lieutenant is right.

I am not a coolie.

Now if you were only of noble

birth... you see, my dear,

General Kaimura likes

the companionship

of intelligent women,

especially cultured women.

Have you been here long?

Not long.

Well, a little

scrubbing around the neck

and, uh, ear, and even a

general might see possibilities.

My cap.

No, shh.

Bring the prisoner.

Heil Hitler.

Banzai, much better.

Where did you get this cap?

The plan of our

kind Japanese master

is for a greater,

cooperative East Asia.

Never mind that, where

did you get this cap?

The plan of our kind

Japanese master...

Oh, never mind the double talk.

You better go home.

Do you want to get shot?

Well, Times Square,

oh, pardon me, detour.

Just a stooge, huh?

Rodney Carr, correct?

Correct, 102 South Main

Street, Paducah, Kentucky,

social security number...

but you wouldn't understand

about social security, General.

While working in an

American munitions factory,

my number was 563-185-184.

Well, as a matter

of fact, General,

we all have your number.

Mr. Carr likes jokes.

Oh, yeah, you ever hear

the one about Hirohito?

That will do.

You are in no position

to be insolent.

Yeah, you're right.

You didn't get your

butcher's degree for nothing.

No fear of death, Mr. Carr?

Death?

Well, General, since I joined

up with the Flying Tigers,

I've always been on

the winning side.

Not quite.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

This was a slip up.

I only bagged three

fighters this time.

Mr. Carr, do you

know why you are here?

You mean instead of

pushing up daisies?

Sure, for two reasons...

one, to satisfy

your own meat-grinding

ambitions, second, to find

out the who, what,

when, where, how

of my boss's operational

plans and ammunition dumps.

Precisely.

Take it from me, General,

it's not for publication.

Shall we use some

persuasive methods?

Oh, Mr. Carr, would you

not like to fly for us?

The pay is better.

Well, thanks a lot,

General, but I've

always try to lead a clean life.

We shall really have to

devise some special method

of persuasion for him.

So you lost one of the Americans?

Well, he can't go far, excellency.

You become lax, Lieutenant.

Perhaps you do not like

a position on my staff.

Oh, but I do, excellency.

Then are you going to

take care of this matter,

or must I manage

every little detail?

At once, uh, do you like

your quarters, General?

They will do.

What about my dinner?

Roast duck and the

finest champagne.

And what about my... my companion?

Well, there is a Mongolian girl.

No good, she is empty, no culture.

But perhaps she

will do temporarily.

I can always depend upon

you, Lieutenant, to fail me.

No, I will attend

to it at [inaudible].

I... I think I have

a surprise for you.

Then why the delay?

Were you looking for

someone, Lieutenant?

I might have been looking for you.

I had hoped.

Oh, good, you remembered what

I told you in the rice field.

Yes.

Then listen closely, madam.

General Kaimura is a

very fastidious man.

He prefers the company

of cultured women,

ladies of high estate.

Do you think you can

assume such a role?

I am Madam Wang-Tai, from

the Great House of Wang.

My father's wealth

was confiscated.

Not confiscated, lost.

Lost.

Good, you are an apt pupil, madam.

General Kaimura would

never know that you

are not a lady of high estate,

except for... for these.

We must get rid of them.

I own nothing else.

Well, then, follow

me to the hotel.

That can easily be arranged,

but do not walk too close.

It would not do for me to be seen

walking with a coolie woman,

and one thing more, madam.

There must be no slip up

on your part, or else.

Feel badly about the cap?

Since you told nothing,

no harm can come of it.

Now no more tears.

Tears are only for joy, Lu-Chi.

Come.

Put him to bed.

Oh, there you are.

Did you wish something?

I just wanted to

return this to the kid.

Why did you take it?

I just wanted to.

I was curious where he got it.

He found it in the rice fields.

He got it from the

flyer who was k*lled.

Oh, he was k*lled, huh?

Why, I thought maybe

he was still alive,

and the Japs had

questioned the child.

And you didn't want

them to learn anything?

I've seen them t*rture

these kids before.

What's the idea?

Oh, Chen simply want to make sure

you won't say anything

about the flyers cap.

You're guerrillas, all of you.

Why, Kaimura would cut

every throat in this room.

Including yours.

Oh, not mine, I have to sing.

All throats look

alike to the Japs,

or perhaps you are their ally.

I am nobody's ally.

Are your sympathies with us?

You heard me.

I travel alone, and right now,

I want to travel out of here.

Of course, and thank you so

much for protecting the boy.

She will tell the Japs.

She can be trusted.

How do you know?

A woman's intuition,

Lu-Chi, you go to bed.

Now listen carefully, all of you.

Kaimura, the butcher, is here

for some important purpose.

Wherever he goes, Japanese

armies soon appear.

Miss no opportunity

to destroy an enemy,

but be more cautious

than ever until we

learn the general's plans.

That is all.

How can we learn his plan?

Keep watch.

That stuff I was

drinking last night

had a buck like a machine.

A Japanese machine g*n.

Huh, Japs?

What's cooking?

You were wounded.

Oh, oh, I get it.

Those dirty little Nips plugged

me, but they didn't k*ll me.

Oh, my nurse, [inaudible],

I've always wanted a nurse.

Nothing ever happened to

me, not even a busted leg.

I'm sorry.

This is the best we can do

under the circumstances.

What?

Lady, this is perfect.

Gee, I wish the boys back in

Brooklyn could see me now.

Brooklyn?

Yeah, yeah, the

home of the Dodgers.

Dodgers?

What are they?

What do they do?

Well, they play baseball.

Yeah, that's one of President

Roosevelt's four freedoms.

Gee, I can see it now.

It's in the 9th inning, see,

and the score is all tied up.

Kimberly's up to bat.

There's a man on second base.

The guy on the mound

is a big portsider.

He winds up, and he

throws the ball in there.

Kmberly combs one,

right out of the park.

It's a foul ball.

The guy winds up.

He throws it in there.

The umpire calls it a strike.

[inaudible] rushes

out of the dugout,

and he starts a beef

with the umpire.

The umpire throws him

out of the park, see.

Oh, [inaudible] could

never keep quiet.

Kimberly's up now.

The guy tosses the ball.

Kimberly reaches back and he... oh.

Don't get up, Sergeant, China

can't afford to lose you.

Where are my buddies?

Where is Rod and Johnny?

What happened to them?

They are all right.

Don't you worry.

OK, if you say so, lotus blossom.

Lotus blossom?

That's a very pretty name.

Yeah, yeah, I had

a girl in Brooklyn

I'd call lotus blossom.

Her real name was O'Houlihan.

Only I called her lotus

blossom on account of she

liked chop suey.

Gee, that was a long time ago.

That was before me and Rod joined

up with the Flying Tigers.

Chen, it's all right to

move him to the cave tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, soldier, here,

merry Christmas.

Well, if it isn't Times Square.

Did your Jap pals send

you here to soften me up?

If they did...

I know.

I'm wasting my time.

What's your racket?

How come you got

the key to the city?

I'm an entertainer.

I sing.

So do I, look where I am.

Maybe you don't sing good enough.

I can't make you out.

Don't try.

This is just Times

Square, remember?

We just bumped into

each other in the crowd.

Thousands do it every day.

Then you know New York?

No, I've never been in the States.

What?

You've never been to the States?

Never been.

New York, Brooklyn Bridge,

Empire State Building,

Coney Island.

You ever been to Moscow,

Siberia, or Calcutta?

No.

I have, all over

Europe, Asia, even Japan.

You ever been there?

No, if I ever get

out of here alive,

I've got a date to bring

a few eggs to Hirohito.

If you ever get out.

You couldn't fix it, could you?

That soldier could notice it.

How come you talk like a Yank?

Learned it out of

the sailor's manual.

Look, kid, let's

cut out this chatter.

You stack up all right to me.

What's the gag?

No gag, you know, something

about you reminds me of...

Uh-oh, here it comes.

Reminds me of home, yeah,

any place in the States...

a Wisconsin farm,

a ranch in Montana,

an orange grove in California,

yeah, even Times Square,

anywhere but here.

You don't belong here.

Are you proposing?

You got me wrong, lady.

That's what I thought.

Hey, before you go, will

you tell me if you know what

happened to a buddy of mine?

No, but if he's anything like you,

he can take care of himself.

What are you doing here?

You are crazy.

Come on.

Get out of here.

Get out.

Don't do that.

Your fighting plane

did a marvelous

job today, Herr General.

Bring my dinner.

Of course, of course, duck,

duck, I raised them from tiny,

little...

I know.

Sit down.

What is your name?

Lavara.

Where are you from?

My mother was American,

my father, Russian.

Officially, that is no good.

Unofficially, I

will drink with you.

Champagne?

I haven't had champagne in months.

There is much more in my office.

Uh, perhaps later

we will go up there,

and you can drink all you want.

I am kind of thirsty.

Perhaps you are [inaudible].

You make fun of General Kaimura?

Oh, no, General, I'm laughing

at myself, aristocrats.

Perhaps that is

the American in you.

So [inaudible] aristocrat?

To think of it, they did used

to call my old lady duchess.

Duchess?

Yes, uh, bring another

plate for the lady.

What are you doing?

[inaudible] Get out.

General, I have the surprise.

Surprise?

Who asked for a surprise?

Fancy meeting you here.

Pardon me, General,

but your lady friend

is an old friend of mine.

I'm afraid you are mis...

Oh, no, I'm not.

I'd know you [inaudible].

Do you [inaudible]?

No.

Oh, yeah?

Why don't you tell the

general about the bonnet?

Suppose you tell him?

Oh, I... I've said enough.

Just seeing her here

hit me the wrong way.

What is this bonnet?

Please, General, the

answer is a simple one.

She probably saw me

dressed as a coolie

with muddy sandals and

a large, straw hat.

Coolie?

But what she did not

know was that I come

from the great house of Wang,

that my parents were k*lled,

and I was reduced to starvation.

That was before I realized

what the new order meant.

So perhaps you do not

care for the new order?

Perhaps you would like

a prison camp better?

Please, General, it's not

her fault all this happened.

What do you mean?

The poor girl is jealous.

Jealous?

And it's really your fault. You

haven't an [inaudible] women.

I know how she feels

finding me here.

Every w*r has produced

its great commanders

like General Kaimura.

Europe I have admired

you from afar,

and I am happy at last to

stand within the shadow

of the next [inaudible].

Should I say, captain?

Tell that heil Hitler

downstairs to prepare

a room for Madam Wang-Tai.

Yes, excellency.

...premiere of

Japan, no, of the whole world.

Where have I seen

you before, madam?

Your face reminds me.

There is something...

yes, I know what it is.

Yes, the Great Wall of

China, why do you remind

me of the Great Wall of China?

Perhaps the general thinks I am as

aged looking as the Great Wall.

There is a fragile but

durable beauty in you, madam.

Great Wall, yes, I

see it each time I...

I look at you... durable, lasting,

as though you, like the Great

Wall, have lived for centuries

and will live on

for centuries more.

But it will not be so.

The Great Wall shall crumble

into dust, and from the dust

will arise a new China.

General...

I will hold Asia and

half the world in my hand

like a bunch of grapes to be

ripened by the sun of heaven,

and you, madam, your destiny

will be linked with mine.

Will it be soon?

Soon, my little flower.

You have much fighting to do.

We cannot hurry destiny.

When my soldiers

arrive, we shall move on.

When will they arrive?

What is it?

General, I have important news.

Well?

A coolie has talked,

with a little persuasion.

Well?

The overseer has been found.

Well, why do you bother

me with small things?

Go away.

But, General Kaimura, the

overseer was found in a ditch

at the rice field, dead.

What did you say?

m*rder*d by the coolies.

Oh, so get every coolie who

worked in that rice field.

Well, what are you staring at?

Nothing, I... the overseer's

body is in the courtyard.

Well, must I inspect the body now,

Lieutenant, or do you suppose

it may keep until the morning?

Tomorrow, when I have

finished in this village,

there will be many more bodies.

Now go.

Madam, forgive me

these interruptions

and... and I am a little weary.

Oh, how thoughtless of me,

of course, you must be tired.

I'll go.

I shall look forward to tomorrow

and a great many more days.

But your troops will arrive soon,

and you will be

leaving for the front.

And I will be all alone.

Don't worry about

that, my little flower.

It will not be tomorrow,

but the next day.

How soon?

Do not fret about that.

Oh, Herr General, I have come

to show madam to her room.

Madam, good night.

Good night, General.

Good night.

Madam, why did you come here?

Because it's part of my plans.

But the danger...

Money has always taken

care of that in the past.

Of course, but you,

right here in my hotel,

under the general's

nose, that's suicide.

You will be detected.

You are not worried about me.

You are worried about yourself.

I... after all, I have

my responsibilities.

I cannot take chances.

Our bargain was plainly

understood from the first.

Only one thing concerns you.

You furnish the g*ns

and ammunitions.

We furnish the money,

American money.

Of course, and I... didn't I stick

to my side of the bargain?

Not as much as I expected,

but it'll have to do.

Madam, you must leave at once.

I'll try to get more

munitions for you,

but you must leave

my hotel at once.

I don't think the

general would hear

of it, nor your interference.

Please, madam, I beg of

you, careful, careful.

For your sake, Herr Gruber,

I will take every precaution

so you will live a long life.

You were in the rice field

when the overseer was m*rder*d

and the flyer escaped.

Tell me, who k*lled the overseer,

and where is the flyer hiding?

That would give you

a captain's rating.

I'm sorry I can't help you.

You forget, madam, I took

you out of the rice field,

and I can send you back to the

rice field or have you shot.

sh**t Madam Wang-Tai?

One word to the general, madam.

Would you disillusion the general?

Goddess of mercy,

give me strength.

Present arms.

Bring them in.

Good morning, General.

Good morning, madam.

Lieutenant.

Madam.

What's all the excitement?

One of my more disagreeable

duties, a few executions.

Oh, yes, for the

death of the overseer.

It is not a pleasant sight.

Perhaps, madam, you had better

wait in the hotel for me.

Is my left hand not to know

what my right hand is doing?

You, General, are

now my right hand,

and I must know and

understand both hands.

Madam, you are superb.

In that case, stay and observe.

If you will forgive me, madam.

Remove this.

Good morning, Captain.

I have removed the

obstacle from your view.

I trust you will see better.

Uh, Lieutenant, give the

American captain a cigarette.

Cigarette?

Please, my father is old

and understands nothing.

Question that young

agitator first.

Uh, bring a glass for...

None for me, thank you.

Lieutenant, you may proceed.

You have your choice.

Talk or die.

I know nothing.

Talk.

I do not know.

Who k*lled the overseer?

I do not know.

Did you k*ll him?

No.

Lieutenant, you waste time.

Dispose of him.

I don't want to seem presumptuous,

but don't you think

youth should be

taught to serve the new

order, instead of wasted?

Firing squad, fall in.

Your armies need rice,

otherwise Japan's destiny,

and yours, will be starved.

Ready.

General, can you afford to

put your soldiers into the rice

fields?

Aim.

Stop.

Lieutenant, release

the young coolie.

Aim.

Fire.

That's right, two at a time.

It saves ammunition.

Aim.

Fire.

Excuse me, madam.

I trust you enjoyed the

performance, Captain.

As for myself, I

find such incidents

stimulating to the appetite.

What should you

like for breakfast?

Remember Pearl Harbor, General.

Wait till I turn my back.

Meet tonight.

For you, madam, I have waited

time for such time as this.

How lovely, it

takes my breath away.

And you, madam, take my

breath and my heart away.

If I can do that, our

destiny will be truly linked.

Time is growing short.

Every minute counts.

Soon, I will be away.

Are you leave [inaudible] front?

Yes, soon, I will be in Chungking,

then the conquest of all China.

The troops, are they

coming from the south?

Many thousands of them, and

within 24 hours, but let's

not talk about that now.

Oh, you're trembling.

Are you frightened?

Just at the thought

of your leaving.

It will not be for long.

Oh, your drink, you have

so many problems of w*r

to face that you must dismiss

everything from your mind now.

Everything but you,

if only every Chinese

were like you, madam,

Chungking could

well take a lesson from you.

Well, here's hoping that every

Chinese you meet from tonight

on will be as loyal as I am.

I say the time has come to strike.

There is no longer

room for patience.

There is no longer room

for Madam Kwan Mei.

She has betrayed us.

She will be here to answer you.

Will she bring her

General Kaimura with her?

Your sorrow has made you blind.

She called this meeting.

She will be here,

and we will wait.

24 hours.

I was hoping I would find you.

What are you gonna do, try

to pin wings on me again?

Please, don't go.

We need your help.

I want you to help the

American flyer escape.

What for?

Why should I risk

my life for somebody

that's just dropped in?

He means something to you.

Nothing means anything

to him but his kites.

Try and get the key

from Herr Gruber.

He must have a duplicate

one for the wine room.

Look, I might have

had a tough life,

but I'm still going

to hang onto it.

Your life and my

life mean nothing.

It's the future generation

that counts now.

This is the only generation

I'm interested in.

I know you will do it, and thanks.

Captain.

Who's that?

Is that you, Times Square?

Oh, I... oh, I thought

you were somebody else.

I am Madam Kwan Mei.

Did you say Madam Kwan Mei?

Shh, be careful.

Yeah, but I know

you just said... hey,

you're the one I met

in the rice fields.

Yes, Captain.

And here you've been

Madam Kwan Mei all along.

What a sap I was

not to recognize you.

What did you stop me

from sh**ting Japs?

For two good reasons... first,

they would have k*lled you.

Second, once you

arrived, you were worked

in with our guerrilla plan.

General Kaimura's troop train

is arriving within 24 hours.

The general is planning a

western offensive immediately,

but the troop train

must not reach him.

We have prepared long

and patiently to destroy

the general's army and

recapture our village.

We could not fail if we

had help from the air.

That's where I come in.

I beat it to my base

and bring back the g*ng.

Exactly.

It's a deal, but how

do I get out of here?

That has been arranged.

Good night, Captain,

and good luck.

We are fools to wait.

She will not come.

Let us fight tonight

while they are asleep.

How soon you forget what

madam has done for you?

Forget?

Forget?

I will never forget.

She stood there smiling as

they shot down my father.

She is a traitor.

Mochow.

- Let me go.

- Mochow.

Let me go.

If you don't pipe down,

you're gonna betray all of us,

and, besides, my pal

here can't concentrate.

Then I go alone.

If you are not cowards,

you will follow me.

Or shall we trade our

g*ns for fine clothes?

These are fine clothes.

You think I wear them from choice?

Mochow, I am sorry

about your father.

Lotus blossom.

Well, how are you?

Right in the pink.

Why, you look as good as new,

and, [inaudible], soon you will

be using a machine g*n again.

I have important

information for you.

Oh, I see doubt in all your faces.

I see the thought in your

eyes that I am a traitor.

Somehow I cannot blame you.

I saw Mochow's

father die, m*rder*d,

and I saw the fathers of

two more comrades, shot.

Though I did not show the pain

in my face, it was in my heart,

truly.

I live at the hotel.

I wear lovely clothes,

but there is a reason.

It was the only way to find

out the plan of that butcher.

Jap soldiers coming.

So you brought the Japs with you?

Hey, what's the matter?

Are you crazy?

Please.

General Kaimura's troop

train arrives in 24 hours.

Choose your objectives

and rehearse your men.

The bridge must be

blown up and the track.

The [inaudible] our

plans, which now

includes the escape of our

two American flyers tonight.

They will bring back air

support for our attack.

Did Rod said we could do it?

We'll do it.

I'll need you, Chen, and you,

Mochow, and the rest of you

see that our friend here...

Patrick is the name.

...Pat is at the end of

the street by the well.

No move must be made until

we hear the air attack.

In case we don't meet again,

good luck and goodbye.

Goodbye, lotus blossom.

Come, Mochow, Chen.

What a woman.

Oh, it's you.

What are you doing

here so late at night?

I just wanted to

talk to you, Hansy.

To me, what for?

Oh, don't worry.

It's not about

moonlight and roses.

I've got a big order for you.

An order?

Munitions for the

Chinese guerrillas.

What do you mean by that?

Just what I said.

I do not know what

you are talking about.

You are fired, dismissed.

Look, here, mister,

there's no time to lose.

Either you do what I say,

or I talk to the general

and tell him everything

I know about you.

And, brother, what

I know about you

would line you up against

that wall in the courtyard.

Go Get out.

OK, I think I'll talk

to the general first.

Well, wait.

What do you want me to do?

I have a date with the

American flyer tonight.

I want you to take me to him now.

I won't do it.

Get the keys.

Lovely night for romance,

isn't it, Herr Gruber?

Soldier, come here.

Take this.

This is your getaway.

- Well, how come you...

- Don't ask me.

I'm out of my head.

You won't get away with it.

I am going to tell the general.

You can't blackmail me,

Frauline, you dirty, no-good...

Guards, guards, guards!

So long, soldier.

So long, Times Square.

I won't forget this.

Guards, the American flyer

has escaped, that way.

Now get moving.

Hey, who is the blonde?

What's that noise?

What was that noise?

You must have been dreaming.

What happened?

I... I heard shots.

Come in.

Your excellency, the

American flyer has escaped.

Escaped, how?

I do not know.

Well, go and find him

and bring him back.

Fools, there is nothing

you can do that's right.

Go on.

The Americans will pay for

this with more than one flyer.

Forgive me.

I fell asleep.

Well, you must have

been very tired,

but I waited here for you.

Madam, you are... you are

more ravishing than ever.

This day would have to happen just

when we were ready to launch

our attack on the west.

Did you find out how he escaped?

The German, Hans Gruber, soldiers

found him in the wine room.

So the German, dispose of him.

And one thing more,

General, last night

soldiers on the outskirts

of town discovered a woman.

Well, thank you, Lieutenant.

That's my broach.

I worried all night about it.

See, it's a gift from the general,

and I wouldn't lose

it for anything.

Why do you bother

me with small things?

Go now.

In just a few minutes, my

troop train will arrive,

and I shall be gone.

What was that?

Maybe guerrillas.

Guerrillas?

I can take care of that.

I'll wipe out this village,

every man, woman, and child.

Japanese planes...

No, Flying Tigers.

Let them come.

They will be culled from

the skies like dead flies.

What was that?

That was your troop

train, thousands

of soldiers blown to

bits, my future premier

of the Japanese Empire.

And how do you know all this?

I am Madam Kwan Mei.

Kwan Mei?

Madam Kwan Mei, the

famous Madam Kwan Mei?

Why, yes, I should have known.

I was right, Great Wall of China.

Then last night, why...

why this is more than

I could ever dream, one of

the foremost women in China.

Madam, I am overwhelmed.

Oh, Lieutenant, may

I present the lady

from Chungking, Madam Kwan Mei?

You will take her to the

courtyard and sh**t her.

I reserve the honor of

giving the order myself.

Hurry.

I haven't much time.

Madam, my profoundest regrets.

We are ready, General.

My faithful lieutenant,

sometimes I wonder

what I would do without you.

You cannot k*ll me.

You cannot k*ll China.

Not even a million deaths

could crush the soul of China,

for the soul of China

will be eternal.

When I day, a million

will take my place,

and nothing can stop them,

neither hunger, nor t*rture,

nor the firing squad.

We shall live on until

the enemy is driven back

over scorched land, for the

armies of decency and liberty

are on the march.

China's destiny is victory.

It will [inaudible] because

human freedom will not perish.

Out of the ashes of ruin and

old hatreds, the force of peace

will prevail until the world

is again sane and beautiful.
