- Bhundi: My lucky number is three. You see, I, I am the third son, born in the third Moon House, on the third floor. I have had three great loves in my life, and I am missing three teeth, see?
- Arami: I sense the collar is guarded by one with the heart of a lion. In the vision I saw a man... a strong man in a warrior's helmet. I know he must die if the collar is to be mine.
- H.H.: I'd like to look at these books myself, Myles.
- Myles Delaney: Hm. There's enough blood on these pages to keep you awake for a month of Sundays. Mark my words well, H.H.: once they find their messiah, they're going to kill every religious and political leader in Asia.
- H.H.: A friend you are, a comfort you are not.
- Frank Buck: [about the Serengeti Kid] We got to take him out the back way. If Delaney finds him here, he'll try to have the Kid mounted over the bar... and maybe us too.
- Arami: I've been told you know the location of every valuable stone and art object in Singapore.
- G.B. Vonturgo: In all humility, I will admit to... some expertise.
- Arami: [hands over a piece of paper] I search for such an object.
- Bhundi: My, my number, nine. Is sure to come up at any moment.
- Frank Buck: Nine?
- Frank Buck: Yeah, it is my sad misfortune, eh, to have only nine toes. But nine is the most powerful omen number, do you not agree?
- Frank Buck: Yeah, well, try zero, because that's all you're getting from me, buddy.
- Bhundi: Mr. Buck... you know that I would never insist on payment for sad news...
- Frank Buck: [sighs as he takes out his wallet] Yeah... Yeah, yeah yeah...
- Bhundi: But I find myself overextended...
- Bhundi: Old mother, you of the great eyes and ears, I am willing to forego my customary commission, eh, should you have some, eh, gossip, some information for me to peddle?
- Tay-Ling: Young Bhundi, of the Hyena mouth and the lying tongue? I have only the back of my broom for you!
- [starts hitting him with her broom]
- Bhundi: Perhaps next time...
- [leaves]
