• Lord Edgar Dobbs : [to Maxie]  I hope you'll enjoy Christmas in the Lost City.

• Maxie Devine : [about the Chinese fighter]  He's moving like an animal.

  Lord Edgar Dobbs : More like a snake.

• Christopher Dubois : [Dobbs and Harry were caught for an attempt to steal The Golden Dragon]  What a mess!

  Harry Smythe : Oh, yeah?

  Lord Edgar Dobbs : I'm sorry, kid, we tried to run out. I guess that's a difference between us. I've never ever said I was sorry before. And I've never had a quest and it wasn't for me, not the one. I wasn't always a pirate, you know. Believe it or not, but for over 20 years I was a Jack Captain of Royal Navy. I raised the Union Jack's countries that you haven't even heard of. Fought in a great war and for what? For the glory of God? For British Empire? For his Majesty King? And when it was all over, what have I got left with? Well how, you win something, you lose something. Now you just watch your tail, son.

• Harry Smythe : [Playing cards]  Hey, Dobbs, what do you drink with tonic?
