Quotes 

• [as Ho and Shing are surrounded by police, Ho attempts to shoot Shing, but runs out of bullets] 

  Shing : Out of bullets? I guess I'll go surrender. I'll be okay. You on the other hand... You see, I have money. A few days in court, and I'll be a free man. If you have money, you can turn black to white. This, I learned from you. I pity your brother. Because of you, his white has become black, and it's your fault.

• Mr. Yiu : [as he repeatedly keeps calling Shing a bastard]  You bastard! You bastard! I told not to play with fire! Bastard. If Ho gives the police that tape... it won't just be your head, bastard! Our whole organization will collapse!

  Shing : Have you finised? Bastard? Bastard? When I was making you rich, was I a bastard?

• Shing : Business is good right now. I was hoping that you'd like to cooperate.

  Ho Tse Sung : Why's that?

  Shing : You're still our boss. Mark will handle money trafficking. I traffic the drugs. Earn some money for the company. There's too many old debts, we need you to get our money back.

  Ho Tse Sung : Get to the point.

  Shing : We need an insider at the police department. Maybe your brother? There's nothing better than having one of your own on the force.

  Ho Tse Sung : Come here. I have something to tell you.

  [drags Shing into a board room] 

  Ho Tse Sung : What if I don't accept?

  Shing : Sung Tse Ho, I respect you, so I'm keeping that dead fish, Mark, here. But your brother knows no limits! He follows me everyday! If I didn't respect you, he'd be dead already!

  Ho Tse Sung : Shing, one is my friend, one is my brother. If I can't promise you this, how can I walk out this door? I don't care if you insult me, but don't insult my friend! And if you dare hurt my brother... you'll live to regret it!

• Shing : [as Mark endures a bloody beating by the Triad]  Come on, being a hero is easy. Just jump. Times have changed. If you don't coopeate with us, that'll be your only choice. You can't go the police. You're as dirty as I am.

  [He punches Mark, whose nose bleeds upon impact] 

• Shing : There's nothing better than having one of your own on the force.
