Benson Fong: Wong
Quotes
-
Wong : [Michael is tending to Wong's injured hands] You are kind to me. Why?
Michael Bachlin : Because you need help.
Wong : I am your enemy.
Michael Bachlin : Only as a man. As a doctor, I have no enemies.
Wong : Perhaps you are a good man. And you have been deceived by your government.
Michael Bachlin : You couldn't be the one who's been deceived?
Wong : Why did the Americans attack us?
Danielle Grenier : It was you who attacked the Americans. You can't be that deceived.
Wong : I am not deceived by the charity you do me. Those who are not with us are against us.
Michael Bachlin : I'm not against you. I am against what you stand for.
Wong : It is easier to say what you are against. What is your country for?
Michael Bachlin : Well, in a democracy, there's no, no inflexible line, no dogma. But I'm sure that all Americans agree that life without personal freedom would be intolerable.
Wong : The Chinese people do not need a few unimportant personal liberties. They need security.
Michael Bachlin : Well, we too want security and land and food for all people. But we believe that no security is worth the price of freedom.
Wong : And what about you, personally, doctor? Has this freedom brought you happiness?
Michael Bachlin : Happiness, Mr Wong, happiness is something that every man must find in himself.
