Benedict Wong: Kublai Khan

Quotes 

• Prince Jingim : Father, if you just...

  Kublai Khan : What's done is done. We throw a banquet, have a hunt. Smack the chieftains into line, return home, victory in hand.

  Prince Jingim : [sighs]  Very wise, Father.

  Kublai Khan : Don't. Don't do that. I want to be bitter.

• Kublai Khan : [to Ahmad]  You are stubborn.

  Ahmad's Mother : Which is good.

  Kublai Khan : And clearly care nothing of the comforts I have provided you.

  Ahmad's Mother : Which is good as well.

• [last lines] 

  Ahmad : [thinking back]  Sire, if you would still consider it, I would like to accept the position you offered previously in the Finance Ministry.

  Kublai Khan : Ah, your nose has been opened, huh?

  Ahmad : I learned much about the lives of your subjects. I realize just how much more effective I can be by your side.

  Kublai Khan : [grunts]  You know what this means, son? You finally feel worthy of the power I offer you.

  Ahmad : I believe I do.
