Go To

Willie: What's that?
Lao Che: Antidote.
Indiana Jones: To what?
Lao Che: The poison you just drank.

Hong: "Though I never entered the Triad society, I have often heard it said that their object is to subvert the Qing and restore the Ming dynasty. Such an expression was very proper in the time of Kangxi [reg.1661-1722], when this society was at first formed, but now after the lapse of two hundred years, we may speak of subverting the Qing, but we cannot speak of restoring the Ming. At all events, when our native mountains and rivers are recovered, a new dynasty must be established."
Hong Xiuquan, leader of the 1850-64 Taiping Rebellion

Lee: These men are Triads. The most deadly gang in China.
