• Williams : Mr. Han, suddenly I wish to leave your island.

  Han : It is not possible.

  Williams : Bullshit, Mr. Han-man!

• Han : [petting a white, longhaired pussy cat]  This is my museum. It is difficult to associate these horrors with the proud civilizations that created them: Sparta, Rome, The Knights of Europe, the Samurai. They worshipped strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible. Nothing survives without it. Who knows - what delicate wonders have died out of the world, for want of the strength to survive.

• Han : Your style is unorthodox.

  Williams : But effective.

• Han : Opium.

  Roper : Uh-oh!

  Han : We are investing in corruption, Mr Roper. The business of corruption is like any other.

  Roper : Oh yeah! Provide your customers with products they need and, uh, charge a little bit to stimulate your market and before you know it customers come to depend on you, I mean really need you. It's the law of economics.

• Han : The battle with the guards was magnificent. Your skill is extraordinary. And I was going to ask you to join us.

• Han : Gentlemen, welcome. You honor our island. I look forward to a tournament of truly epic proportions. We are unique, gentlemen, in that we create ourselves... through long years of rigorous training, sacrifice, denial, pain. We forge our bodies in the fire of our will. But tonight, let us celebrate. Gentlemen, you have our gratitude.

• Han : Good morning, Mr. Roper. We have been waiting for you.

  Roper : What's going on?

  Han : Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

  Roper : Edification?

  [Roper sees Lee tied with arms behind his back] 

  Roper : [to Han]  What are you going to do to him?

  Han : Not me, Mr. Roper, you.

• Han : Very few people can be totally ruthless. It isn't easy; it takes more strength than you might believe.

  Roper : [lifting the cat from the guillotine and speaking to it]  Now you've got eight more.

  Han : So! There is a point you will not go beyond.

• Han : Are you shocked, Mr Williams?

  Williams : Only at how sloppy your man works.

• Han : We are all ready to win, just as we are born knowing only life. It is defeat that you must learn to prepare for.

  Williams : I don't waste my time with it. When it comes, I won't even notice.

  Han : Oh? How so?

  Williams : I'll be too busy looking gooood.

• Roper : You want me to join this?

  Han : There are certain realities. I want us to have a clear understanding.

  Roper : No. There's no misunderstanding between us.

• Han : Gentlemen, let the tournament begin!

• Han : It is not the art, but the combat that you enjoy.

  Williams : The winning.

• Han : Up here.

  Roper : A guillotine? Eh, no, thanks. This is the only angle I care to see it from.

  Han : If you please, Mr. Roper.

  Roper : You mean you want me to put my head on that thing?

  Han : An act of faith.

  Roper : I'm a man of little faith, Mr. Han.

• Han : You left some rather sizable debts in America.

  Roper : Diners Club hasn't called in my card yet.

• Han : Here we are stimulating quite another need. You wonder why I am exposing so much of myself?

  Roper : I forget what I see very easily.

• Han : Quick, go destroy them. Kill! Kill them! Kill! Fools!

• Han : Gentlemen, it seems that one of you was not content last night with the hospitality of the palace and sought diversion elsewhere on the island. Who it was is not important at this time. What is important is that my guards performed their duties incompetently. And now they must prove themselves worthy to remain among us.
