Peking Express (1951)

Benson Fong: Wong

Quotes 

• Wong : [Michael is tending to Wong's injured hands]  You are kind to me. Why?

  Michael Bachlin : Because you need help.

  Wong : I am your enemy.

  Michael Bachlin : Only as a man. As a doctor, I have no enemies.

  Wong : Perhaps you are a good man. And you have been deceived by your government.

  Michael Bachlin : You couldn't be the one who's been deceived?

  Wong : Why did the Americans attack us?

  Danielle Grenier : It was you who attacked the Americans. You can't be that deceived.

  Wong : I am not deceived by the charity you do me. Those who are not with us are against us.

  Michael Bachlin : I'm not against you. I am against what you stand for.

  Wong : It is easier to say what you are against. What is your country for?

  Michael Bachlin : Well, in a democracy, there's no, no inflexible line, no dogma. But I'm sure that all Americans agree that life without personal freedom would be intolerable.

  Wong : The Chinese people do not need a few unimportant personal liberties. They need security.

  Michael Bachlin : Well, we too want security and land and food for all people. But we believe that no security is worth the price of freedom.

  Wong : And what about you, personally, doctor? Has this freedom brought you happiness?

  Michael Bachlin : Happiness, Mr Wong, happiness is something that every man must find in himself.
