Sam Salt: I can't make head or tail out of you, Mr. Chang. Are you Chinese or are you white, or what are ya?
Mr. Henry Chang: My mother was Chinese. My father was white.
Sam Salt: You look more like a white man to me.
Mr. Henry Chang: I'm not proud of my white blood.
Sam Salt: Oh you're not, are ya?
Mr. Henry Chang: No, I'm not.
Sam Salt: Rather be a Chinaman, huh?
Mr. Henry Chang: Yes.
Sam Salt: What future is there being a Chinaman? You're born, eat your way through a handful of rice, and you die. What a country! Let's have a drink.
