Tuptim: If love were a choice, who would choose such exquisite pain?
Shen Yuelin: You come from a country where the infant mortality rate is higher than ours.
Jack Moore: The reason you know that is we don't delete the records.
Shen Yuelin: In China, we hold the welfare of the state above that of the individual. We have six times the population of your country, Mr. Moore, and one-tenth the crime rate. Tell me, who is right?
Shen Yuelin: If you plead not guilty, you will be sentenced to death. And, unlike in your country, Mr. Moore, sentences are carried out within a week. You will be shot, and the cost of the bullet will be billed to your family.
Shen Yuelin: Why can we not conduct our affairs in daylight? Why can we not trust the people to witness them? Why can we not allow their voices to be heard rather than crushing them into muteness? I am willing to pay the price if I am wrong. Are you willing to pay the price if I am right?
Mei: You're rich but I'm free.
