- Natascha: But you have a cabin.
- Chauncey Carson: Oh, so that's the... the proposition.
- Natascha: Yes.
- Chauncey Carson: Uh, how about a little something on account?
- Natascha: I"m accustomed to credit.
- Chauncey Carson: Not in China. They give dames away with cigarette coupons over here.
- Natascha: Very well. Place your own value on me.
- Busby: That milk is for those kids. You can't have a drop! Captain Carson told me to guard that goat.
- Johnson: Bahh! We've got no obligation to those brats! The natives have the right idea: throw them in the river!
- Busby: Oh! I have a strangely vicious idea to cut you into pieces and use you as bait, if I knew how to fish.
- Gabby Woman: Oh, dear, oh, ohh, Doctor, I'm in terrible pain!
- Dr. Pransnitz: Hmm, where?
- Gabby Woman: [rubs her stomach] Here. What could it be, Doctor?
- Dr. Pransnitz: Hunger. And that's good for you!
- Gabby Woman: Oh, I'm so relieved. I was afraid it was something else. And it would've been all Busby's fault.
- Busby: I did nothing.
- Gabby Woman: Yes, you did.
- Busby: What?
- Gabby Woman: Doctor, he gave me some chewing gum, and I was so hungry I swallowed it.
- Busby: Keep away from sailors. They chew tobacco.
- Chauncey Carson: Natascha... my first name is... is Chauncey.
- Natascha: Chauncey!
- Chauncey Carson: Shhh. Not so loud.
- Natascha: Chauncey... I like it.
- Chauncey Carson: You know, there oughta' be a law against parents naming children.
- Johnson: I'd never suspect you ever worked for anyone! You leave everything to me! Telephone calls! Mates! Paddle wheels! Repairs! Coolies! Who owns this steamer anyhow?
- Chauncey Carson: [tipsily] You do - as long as I keep beating Voronsky off.
- Johnson: Well, get on the job! Get us out of here!
- Chauncey Carson: You want me to hold the coolies' hands while they work?
- Johnson: Well, that's what you're best at- holding hands and liquor glasses! Answer that phone! Start things moving!
- Chauncey Carson: Is it possible that your wife was ever in love with you?
- [Chauncey strolls off, leaving Johnson exasperated]
- Gabby Woman: When I think of those Thanksgiving dinners my Aunt Clara used to have. That was back in Omaha. Uh, did you know that Omaha was the granary of the United States? Oh, what corn-fed cattle. And what turkeys.
- Johnson: Start things moving.
- Chauncey Carson: Is it possible that your wife was ever in love with you?
- Gabby Woman: I understand there's no American consul here.
- Busby: No.
- Gabby Woman: Haven't you any influence?
- Busby: Oh, no, mam. I'm a civil engineer. But they changed the government, so I have to go to work.
- Gabby Woman: Oh, how can you be so calm?
- Hortense O'Dare: I'm just as scared as you are, but I'm not bragging about it.
- Natascha: You know, it's hard to tell whether you are a little boy or a bully.
- Chauncey Carson: Little boys don't drink as much as I do.
- Natascha: You needn't be ashamed of being kind.
- Chauncey Carson: Not when I have so many other things to be ashamed of.
