Daughter of the Dragon - A Father's Love and a Daughter's Plea
Fu Manchu:
My flower daughter.
Ling Moy:
My honored father.
Fu Manchu:
May your days be laughing songs. And may the blood of your father course warmly in your veins, for within the hour he will be gathered to his revered ancestors.
Ling Moy:
No, no! I've only just found you, noble father.
Fu Manchu: [At a gesture from Fu Manchu, a gong sounds as servants pull back a curtain to reveal a dragon on the wall]
The emblem of the great house of Fu! As a child you cried yourself to sleep over its tragic fairy story. Know at last, my daughter, the story is true! The mother and brother, murdered by a Petrie, were yours. Yours is the noble house of Fu.
Ling Moy:
Then, you?
Fu Manchu:
I, your father, am Fu Manchu.
Ling Moy: [She recoils, then embraces him as he totters]
Live, live, divine father!
Fu Manchu:
Infamous father! I sent you away, into the occidental world, to keep you from me until I should deserve your homage. But instead, you now witness my shame. Great spirit beyond, I come to you crawling in the dust.
Fu Manchu:
Death lays his hands upon me, and my sacred work is unfinished. A Petrie still lives! The dishonor is burned upon my forehead.

Werewolf of London - The Urgency of the Full Moon
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Dr Yogami, didn't they tell you that I wasn't seeing anyone today?
Dr. Yogami:
I thought, perhaps, you might see me.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Come another day, please.
Dr. Yogami:
Another day would be too late. What will happen before morning, I cannot say. Tonight is the first night of the full moon.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Still harping on that old wives tale of yours?
Dr. Yogami:
Would it were in old wives tale.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Exactly what do you want of me?
Dr. Yogami:
Two blossoms of the Mariphasa flower in there would save two souls tonight.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Tonight. But I thought you said the Mariphasa was a cure.
Dr. Yogami:
No. An antidote. Effective only for a few hours. Won't you let me see the results of your experiment?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Sorry. When my experiments are completed I will show the results to the entire world. Not before. Now, sir, I must wish you good day.
Dr. Yogami:
Then there is nothing more to be said?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Nothing
Dr. Yogami:
Good day. But remember this, Dr. Glendon. The werewolf instinctively seeks to kill the thing it loves best.

Werewolf of London - The Nature of Lycanthropy Explained
Dr. Wilfred Glendon: [skeptical]
This flower is an antidote for..for what?
Dr. Yogami:
Werewolfery. Lycanthrophobia is the medical term for the affliction I speak of.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
And do you expect me to believe that a man so affected actually becomes a wolf under the influence of the full moon?
Dr. Yogami:
No. The werewolf is neither man nor wolf but a satanic creature, with the worst qualities of both.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
I'm afraid, sir, but I gave up my belief in goblins, witches, personal devils, and werewolves at the age of six.
Dr. Yogami:
But that does not alter the fact that in workaday, modern, London today at this very moment there are two cases of werewolfery known to me.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
And how did these unfortunate gentleman contract this medieval unpleasantness?
Dr. Yogami: [reaches for Glendon's arm]
From the bite of another werewolf. These men are doomed but for this flower the Mariphasa.

Werewolf of London - A Conversation on Plant Evolution and Collection
Dr. Yogami:
May I congratulate you sir, on the amazing collection of plants you've assembled here.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Thank you.
Dr. Yogami:
Evolution was in a strange mood, when that creation came along.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Yes.
Dr. Yogami:
It makes one wonder just where the plant world leaves off and the animal world begins.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Have I met you before, sir?
Dr. Yogami:
In Tibet, once. But only for a moment... In the dark.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
In the dark?
Dr. Yogami:
Let me introduce myself again. I am Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
How do you do, sir?
Dr. Yogami:
Like yourself, a student, a nurturist of plants.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Yogami:
Pardon?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Do I understand you to say, that we met in Tibet?
Dr. Yogami:
Yes. And unless I'm mistaken, we were both on a similar mission.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Yes.
Dr. Yogami:
Would it be intrusive if I should ask you... If you were successful?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
In what?
Dr. Yogami:
In obtaining a specimen of the Mariphasa lumina lupina: The phosphorescent wolf flower. Well, you know it only blooms under the rays of the moon. My specimens died on the journey back.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
As a scientist, sir, as a botanist you actually believe that this flower takes its life from moonlight?
Dr. Yogami:
I do.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
So far I've been unsuccessful in persuading mine to bloom by moonlight or any other kind of light.

Werewolf of London - The Urgency of the Mariphasa Plant
Dr. Yogami:
Your department is trying to solve two murders. There will be other murders tonight, and tomorrow night. Also next month, when the moon is full again - unless you realize, sir, there is a werewolf abroad in London.
Sir Thomas Forsythe:
Yes, my nephew has similar ideas. What do you want us to do about it?
Dr. Yogami:
You must seize the only specimen of the "Mariphasa" plant in England.
Sir Thomas Forsythe:
And where shall I get this posy?
Dr. Yogami:
In the private laboratory of Dr. Wilfred Glendon. That flower is the only known antidote for werewolfery.
Sir Thomas Forsythe:
Yes, a.. a very interesting folktale, but of no value to the police.
Dr. Yogami:
I warn you, sir, unless you secure this plant and discover the secret of nurturing it in this country, there'll be an epidemic that will turn London into a shambles.
