Quotes 

• Lu Chung : Never talk important matters where you cannot see who listens.

• Tristram Griffin : Who is this Bayan general, the one with all the eyes?

  Lu Chung : Oh, he's the greatest soldier in the world. The great Khan borrowed him from Persia for his war against China. He will conquer the world one day.

• Lu Chung : What did you do that for? Why did you lie to him?

  Lu Chung : Sometimes they call me "the bird who feathers his nest" - because they say that I steal from everyone. It is not true, of course. But let us say that I'm in a position to take a smaller profit than my kindly master.

• [repeated line] 

  Lu Chung : How much gold do you have?

• Lu Chung : It's good enough for Christians. The servant is good. He will steal everything for you.
