The Lady from Shanghai

[Michael ‘The Irish’ is at the yacht wheel. On the radio sounds an advertisement that finishes with the word 'love'. Just then comes Mrs. Banister and say:]

...that lady knew something about wickedness.


Mrs. Banister: -Would you help me?

Michael: -Love...

Mrs. Banister: -Give me the wheel.

Michael: -Do you believe in love Mrs. Banister?

Mrs. Banister: -I was taught to think in love in Chinese...

Michael: -The way a Frenchman thinks about laughter in French?

Mrs. Banister: -The Chinese say: 'Is difficult to love to last longer. Therefore, one who loves passionately is cured of love, in the end...

Michael: -Of course, that's a hard way to thinking...

Mrs. Banister: -There's more to the proverb: human nature is eternal. Therefore, one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end'.

I always find this dialogue amazing. Just amazing.
Is from 'The Lady from Shanghai', an Orson Welles' movie released in 1948.
