Speaker 2: or so desirable as a kwanyin. Tell me more about
Speaker 2: this quan yin, mister Sander. About it? About it is

Speaker 2: and there's nothing so delicate and desirable as a quarter
Speaker 2: of a million dollars, is there quite? What is your
Speaker 2: theory as to where the quanyin is? Why should I
Speaker 2: have a theory? I'll tell you why a Chinese skull
Speaker 2: sails half around the world with a fabulous idol mister
Speaker 2: Hannon is to deliver her to Sam Cho she's killed,
Speaker 2: but suddenly she doesn't have the idol? Why doesn't she
Speaker 2: have it? I do know all this for a reason

Speaker 2: Yeah, I see what you mean.
Speaker 6: It is said the goddess kwan Yin could kiss a

Speaker 6: believed to be just as miraculous by some.
Speaker 5: It is a pity she has been lost, does it not.
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean a kwan Yin want so miraculous. The
Speaker 2: girl I picked up at sea me Long would still
Speaker 2: be alive and Sam too. It's Kwanyin? Does it kiss
Speaker 2: away dying tomorrow?
Speaker 5: If you gave her to me, gave me the kwan Yin?
Speaker 2: What makes you think I've got it?
Speaker 5: Because a man like you it would have been simple
Speaker 5: to steal.
Speaker 2: From me long it would have been, but I didn't
Speaker 2: think of it. Also, she didn't have it. Now's your
Speaker 2: China again.
