- Quotes
Kwon: Father Murray, the Pilgrim priest!
Father Joseph Murray: Mr. Kwon! Your fortunes have improved immeasurably.
Kwon: Yes, the Gods have been gracious. But I will not detain you further. My business with you is very simple. I want money. How much do you think your superiors at the Catholic University in Peking would pay for your safe return?
Father Joseph Murray: I'm afraid you overestimate my importance. There will be no ransom.
Kwon: Then, Father, can you think of any good reason why I should not have you shot?
Father Joseph Murray: I can think of no reason that would appeal to you.
Kwon: I will give you my decision later. If it is necessary to kill you, you will understand there is nothing personal.
Father Joseph Murray: If it is necessary, I shall try to regard it as an impersonal bullet.
