The Fellowship (2016)

Olivia Cheng: Mei Lin

Quotes 

• Mei Lin : Do you know how concubines are trained?

  Ahmad : Tell me.

  Mei Lin : Mirrors.

  Ahmad : Mirrors?

  Mei Lin : They put you in a room of mirrors. For days weeks. After a while, time stops making sense. Why mirrors?

  Ahmad : To practice emotions.

  Mei Lin : [begins walking toward him as he backs up]  Cheerful. Coy. Heartbroken. Lonesome. But there was one emotion we were taught never to display. Anger. Because no man wants a woman who threatens him. For survival we learn to suppress it to bide our time. I never would have loved you. But I would have supported you. Fought for you. Maybe even died in your service.

  Ahmad : It was a momentary lapse in judgment.

  Mei Lin : Selling my daughter was always part of your plan.

  Ahmad : Had I known it would end this way, I would've eviscerated her in front of you, instead.

  Mei Lin : Then I am glad it ends *this* way.

  [thrusts her dagger] 

• [last lines] 

  Mei Lin : I could have continued to run with my daughter. You never would have found me.

  Prince Jingim : Where is she?

  Mei Lin : Headed south with a protector.

  Prince Jingim : Never return.

  Hundred Eyes : I'll escort the concubine to her daughter and ensure she stays there.

  Prince Jingim : Once I've confirmed my father's victory, we meet here. At home.
