Quotes
-
Pinstripe lawyer : Okay. But if I'm gonna be your attorney, there are a few things that I have to know that, uh, still don't make any sense to me. Like, um, you really believe in magic?
Egg Shen : You mean Chinese black magic?
Pinstripe lawyer : Yes.
Egg Shen : Oh, absolutely.
Pinstripe lawyer : Are you still serious about this? And, uh, monsters and ghosts as well, I suppose?
Egg Shen : Oh, sure. And sorcery.
Pinstripe lawyer : And I suppose that, uh, you expect me to believe in sorcery as well?
Egg Shen : Of course!
Pinstripe lawyer : Why?
Egg Shen : Because it's real.
Pinstripe lawyer : How can I know that, Mr. Shen?
Egg Shen : How?
Pinstripe lawyer : Yes, how? Help me out here. Please, how?
[Shen raises his hands, and a small bolt of lightning jumps between his palms. The lawyer stares, open-mouthed]
Egg Shen : See? That was nothing. But that's how it always begins. Very small.
