Captain Kazan He knows that a horse has four legs. He knows that a murderer has two arms. But still, the Devil must be afraid of one honest Cossack. Professor Alexander Saxton The following report to the Royal Geological Society by the undersigned, Alexander Saxton, is a true and faithful account of events that befell the Society's expedition in Manchuria. As the leader of the expedition, I must accept responsibility for its ending in disaster, but I leave to the judgement of the honorable members of the Society the decision as to where the blame for the catastrophe lies. Dialogue [Wells bribes a clerk to let him on the train] Dr. Wells: [to Saxton] It's called "squeeze" in China. The Americans call it "know-how". Professor Alexander Saxton: And in Britain, we call it bribery and corruption. Dr. Wells: What are you going to astound the scientific world with this time? Professor Alexander Saxton: You'll read about it in the Society's annual report. A remarkable fossil. Dr. Wells: Fossil? But you've got something live in there, I heard it. Professor Alexander Saxton: You're mistaken! Dr. Wells: You won't need to feed it then. Professor Alexander Saxton: The occupant hasn't eaten in two million years. Dr. Wells: That's one way to economize on food bills. Countess Irina: Oh, yes, England. Queen Victoria, crumpets, Shakespeare. Professor Alexander Saxton: I admire Poland, madam. I believe there is a bond between our two countries. Countess Irina: My husband, the Count Petrovski, says that in the fifteenth century your King Henry betrayed us to the Russians. Hmm? Professor Alexander Saxton: I hope that you and your husband, madam, will accept my profoundest apologies. Dr. Wells: Miss Jones, I shall need your assistance. Miss Jones: [eying Wells' dinner companion, a beautiful woman] Yes, well at your age I'm not surprised. Dr. Wells: With an autopsy! Miss Jones: Oh, well that's different. Inspector Mirov: The two of you together. That's fine. But what if one of you is the monster? Dr. Wells: Monster? We're British, you know! Captain Kazan: Now, anything, anything that moves near that door, kill it! Dr. Wells: But what if the monk is innocent? Captain Kazan: Ahhh, we got lots of innocent monks!
