Yu Shu Lien: What was it? Li Mu Bai: Something I can't let go of.
Jade Fox: You deserve to die, but the life I was hoping to take was Jen's. Ten years I devoted to you, but you deceived me! You hid the manual's true meaning. I never improved but your progress was limitless. You know what poison is? An eight year-ol...
[commenting on the theft of the Green Destiny sword once again] Sir Te: They take it, they return it, they take it again... this place is becoming everyone's private storeroom!
Jen Yu: Who are you? Gou Jun Pei: I'm Shining Phoenix Mountain Gou. Jen Yu: Gou? A name I abhor. When I hear it, my ears start to ache. I feel like vomiting! [Rising from the table] Jen Yu: And suddenly I cannot hold back my sword hand's anger!
Lo: All this trouble for a comb? Jen Yu: It's mine. It means a lot to me. A barbarian like you wouldn't understand. Lo: I can use it to pick fleas from my horse.
Li Mu Bai: Giang Hu is a world of tigers and dragons, full of corruption.
Sir Te: When in comes to the affairs of the heart, even the greatest warriors can be a consummate idiots.
Li Mu Bai: Even if I was banished to the darkest place, my love will never let me be a lonely spirit.
Li Mu Bai: Sharpness is a state of mind.
Gangster A: You don't seem to understand. Jen Yu: So what if I don't? Gangster B: [raising weapons along with his partner] We have ways of making you understand...
[first lines] Man: Master Li is here! Master Li is here!
Yu Shu Lien: The Green Destiny Sword. You're giving it to Sir Te. Li Mu Bai: I am. He has always been our greatest protector. Yu Shu Lien: I don't understand. How can you part with it? It's been with you a long time. Li Mu Bai: Too many men have died...
Jen Yu: I'm getting married soon, but I haven't lived the life I want. Yu Shu Lien: So I heard. Congratulations.
Yu Shu Lien: [to the Sword Thief] Return the sword and I'll let you go. [pause] Yu Shu Lien: You've been trained at Wudan?
Yu Shu Lien: It's a great fortune to marry into such a noble family. Jen Yu: Is it? Actually, I like the great heroes in the books... just like you and Li Mu Bai. Marriage is a good thing. If only I could be free to live my own life... to choose who ...
Yu Shu Lien: [to Mrs. Yu] This particular thief... is very unusual. And most likely smarter than a mere killer.
Li Mu Bai: [to the Sword Thief] Give yourself up and find yourself again.
Jen Yu: Why do you want to teach me? Li Mu Bai: I've always wanted a disciple worthy of the Wudang secrets.
