Dialogue
edit- Fu Manchu: My flower daughter.
- Ling Moy: My honored father.
- Fu Manchu: May your days be laughing songs. And may the blood of your father course warmly in your veins, for within the hour he will be gathered to his revered ancestors.
- Ling Moy: No, no! I've only just found you, noble father.
- Fu Manchu: [At a gesture from Fu Manchu, a gong sounds as servants pull back a curtain to reveal a dragon on the wall] The emblem of the great house of Fu! As a child you cried yourself to sleep over its tragic fairy story. Know at last, my daughter, the story is true! The mother and brother, murdered by a Petrie, were yours. Yours is the noble house of Fu.
- Ling Moy: Then, you?
- Fu Manchu: I, your father, am Fu Manchu.
- Ling Moy: [She recoils, then embraces him as he totters] Live, live, divine father!
- Fu Manchu: Infamous father! I sent you away, into the occidental world, to keep you from me until I should deserve your homage. But instead, you now witness my shame. Great spirit beyond, I come to you crawling in the dust.
- [He kneels and attempts to genuflect]
- Fu Manchu: Death lays his hands upon me, and my sacred work is unfinished. A Petrie still lives! The dishonor is burned upon my forehead.
