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 Two blossoms of the Mariphasa flower in there would save two souls tonight.

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?

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 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.
[At a gesture from Fu Manchu, a gong sounds as servants pull back a curtain to reveal a dragon on the wall]
Ling Moy Then, you?
Fu Manchu I, your father, am Fu Manchu.
Ling Moy Live, live, divine father!
[She recoils, then embraces him as he totters]
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 Nature of Lycanthropy Explained
Dr. Wilfred Glendon This flower is an antidote for..for what?
[skeptical]
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 From the bite of another werewolf. These men are doomed but for this flower the Mariphasa.
[reaches for Glendon's arm]

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.

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.
