[Slow instrumental music]
Tell me, is this white woman
who lives here married to Chan Lo?
- I don't know.
- I hear he is madly jealous of her.
keep a respectable distance.
But I am not respectable.
[All laughing]
It's refreshingly scandalous.
Her name is Rose Carlton,
better known as The San Francisco Doll.
That's fine. I like dolls.
But this is a different kind of a doll.
Look at that figurine there.
As rare as the dodo.
MAN 1:
I wonder if it's for sale.MAN 2:
Everything has its price.CHAN LO:
All my treasures except one,may be purchased at a price.
Your Excellency.
CHAN LO:
Your Exalted Excellencies,beautiful ladies.
Now see what I have recently added
to my collection.
MAN 1:
By Jove, what a stunner.Isn't it wicked looking?
Gives one the creeps.
Magnificent. What exquisite craftsmanship.
- It must be very old.
- It is indeed, sir.
There is a legend attached to this Malay kris.
Through centuries, its history tells...
it pierced many times
the hearts of beautiful ladies...
who were unfaithful to the trust
imposed in them by their lords.
Prince, when are we to have
the pleasure of meeting...
If you'll all be so good as to excuse me...
I shall see.
[Doll playing a slow tune]
[Singing] I'm an occidental woman
In an oriental mood for love
And I feel a thrill of China
When I see a yellow Buddha moon above
And when it weaves
Saying love is all I'm dreaming of
I'm an occidental woman
In an oriental mood for love
I'm an occidental woman
In an oriental mood for love
And I feel a thrill of China
When I see a yellow Buddha moon above
And when it weaves
Saying love is all I'm dreaming of
I'm an occidental woman
In an oriental mood for love
Languor becomes you, my beautiful one.
But I trust you're not too weary...
as many persons
are gnawed by anxiety to see you.
So they want to see me.
I'm tired of being showed off,
like one of your curios.
Am I not proud of you, my pearl of pearls?
This pearl of pearls is getting unstrung.
You grow impatient with me?
DOLL:
You stifle me.CHAN LO:
That is unkind.I have provided for your comfort,
lavished luxury upon you.
I've had enough of your fancy speeches.
I'm saturated with them.
My only wish has been for your happiness,
white doll.
I know you're lying.
You consume me with unjust words.
I want you to be happy.
Why do you keep me
from having men friends of my own race?
Because it is written:
"There are two perfectly good men.
"One dead, the other unborn."
Which one are you?
We will talk about these things later.
It is rude to keep our guests waiting.
Do a dance or show them some card tricks.
I'll be down in a minute.
CHAN LO:
Very well.CHAN LO:
Shall I say they may anticipateyour presence almost immediately?
You never can say anything the short way,
can you?
CHAN LO:
No, my beautiful.FAH WONG:
I am afraid for you.FAH WONG:
Chan Lo would kill youbefore he lets you go.
I know, but I've got to take that chance.
I'm tired of being a prisoner.
You think I want to stay here...
when they're picking up gold
right off the streets in Alaska?
I'm going to join up with that gold rush
and nobody's gonna stop me.
Maybe you take Fah Wong with you.
Sure, I'll take you along.
I'll drop you off at Seattle.
You can see that sweetheart of yours
you've been talking so much about.
How does that sound?
Oh, lovely flower,
I'd be filled with joy to see him again.
All right, run along and watch for Ah Toy.
[Dramatic sobbing]
What is it, Wing?
WING:
The man you wait foris now downstairs.
Good.
Wing, you're a great guy doing this for me.
I know you're risking your life and...
I wish I could reward you somehow.
Have the man meet me
at the back stairway off the east lounge.
Tell him I'll be right down.
Room directly behind you, sir.
[Slow instrumental music playing]
VANCE:
Doll, I've been mad to see you.VANCE:
It's only been weeks,but it seems like years.
I'm glad to see you, too, Vance.
There isn't much time.
You got everything ready?
VANCE:
Yes, didn't you get my message?No. Tell me quick, what are the plans?
Bull Brackett, a friend of mine...
is captain of a ship that's bound for Nome.
He's standing by tonight
until you're safely aboard.
There'll be a tender at the Montgomery
Street pier to take you to the ship.
DOLL:
It's good of you to do all this for me.VANCE:
You know how I feel about you.VANCE:
But I know you don't love methe way I love you.
- Sorry, l...
- I'll never forget you.
You are too deep in my heart.
Do think of me sometimes, won't you?
Lots of times.
[Slow instrumental music continues playing]
[Wing speaking in Chinese]
What do you want?
I possessed unconquerable desire
to see you.
You mean one of your spies told you
I was talking to a man alone.
Beautiful one, I am exceedingly sorry.
You are in unhappy mood, all evening long.
I've been caged up here for over a year.
CHAN LO:
Chan Lo is lord and master here.DOLL:
What are you looking at?CHAN LO:
His dog's lips have touched you.CHAN LO:
I see the mark of his kiss on you.DOLL:
What about it?It would bring me profoundest sorrow...
if wings were to carry you to your ancestors.
You better get packed.
We're getting out of here.
No, they've tortured Ah Toy
and made her tell.
Chan Lo will never let you leave.
He won't get a chance
to pull any tricks on me.
Meet me in the tunnel under the garden.
Tell Wing to have a coach waiting.
[Ship horn blowing]
Ship's boat is here, sir.
And there's two women in it.
You men get forward and go below.
Do you hear me?
If you don't want to take orders,
you can jump overboard right now.
I'm the captain here, and if you don't like it,
I'll bust it over your skulls.
- What's that guy roaring about?
- That's Capt. Bull Brackett.
He's the toughest man in these waters,
and he means what he says.
BULL:
Take the bags up, Limey.LIMEY:
Right away, sir.- I am the captain.
- I'm glad you told me.
Stand by to weigh anchor.
What's the matter?
- Palmer never told me what you was like.
- No, what did you think?
All I knew, you was a woman...
who wanted to make a trip to Nome
and couldn't wait for a passenger boat.
I'll say I couldn't.
So what's the matter with this boat?
Don't it ever go?
- Grigsby, shove off, shove off.
- Aye, aye, sir. Getting under way.
[Ship horn blowing]
- I'm giving you my cabin.
- You're good to me.
Yeah, I am going to bunk in here.
But you can use this, too.
For a sitting room or a parlour,
whatever you'd like to call it.
It will do.
BULL:
If there's anything you want,just yell for it.
You've got to yell for it? Fah Wong?
Turn back the sheets,
I'm heading for the arms of Morpheus.
