    The beauty and greatness of Miss Shanghai

    Orson Wells’ work has never been brought up for discussion alone, just as Orson Wells himself has never been able to discuss it as a director alone.

The Lady from Shanghai quotes

  • George Grisby: How'd you like 5,000 dollars?

    Michael O'Hara: What?

    George Grisby: That's what I said. 5,000 dollars, fella.

    Michael O'Hara: What do I have to do for it?

    George Grisby: I'll fill in the details later. Meanwhile, think it over, Michael. 5,000 dollars. It's yours. All you have to do is kill somebody.

    Michael O'Hara: Who, Mr. Grisby? I'm particular who I murder.

    George Grisby: Good boy!

    Michael O'Hara: You know, I wouldn't like to kill just anybody. Is it someone I know?

    George Grisby: Oh, yeah. But you'll never guess.

    Michael O'Hara: I give up.

    George Grisby: It's me. I'm perfectly sober, Michael. I'm willing to pay 5,000 if the job is well done. This is a straightforward business proposition. I want you to kill me. So long, fella!

  • George Grisby: What's your guess, Michael? You think the world's coming to an end?

    Michael O'Hara: Well, there was a start to the world sometime, so I guess there'll be a stop.

    George Grisby: It's coming, you know. Oh, yeah. It's got to come. First the big cities. Then, maybe even this. It's just *got* to come.

    Michael O'Hara: I'd prefer to be somewhere else, if it does.
