Xu Shang-Chi

 * You trained your son to be a killer. Is this what you wanted?!

Xu Wenwu / The Mandarin

 * A terrorist in America needed a boogeyman to bring your country to its knees. So, he appropriated 10 Rings, my 10 Rings, but because he didn't know my actual name, he invented a new one. Do you know what name he chose? The Mandarin. He gave his figurehead the name of a chicken dish. And it worked! America was terrified… of an orange!

Xu Xialing

 * I wasn't allowed to train with the boys. But I watched everything they did and taught myself to do it better.

Other characters

 * Wong: That hurt, Emil! Want me to show you how it feels? [before knocking out Emil "Abomination" Blonsky in the underground fights in Macau]
 * Ying Nan: You are a product of all who came before you, the legacy of your family. You are your mother. And whether you like it or not, you are also your father.
 * Ying Li: [to her son] Lead with your breath. Look into your heart, the light and the dark. To know yourself, you must face them both.

Dialogue

 * [Shang-Chi and Katy meet his estranged sister Xialing]
 * Katy: You started an underground fight ring in Macau when you were 16 years old?
 * Xialing: If my dad won't let me into his empire, I'm gonna build my own.


 * [Shang-Chi, Xialing, and Katy meet Trevor Slattery]
 * Trevor Slattery: Well, some time ago, I was offered the role of a terrorist. I know, facile, trite, I couldn't agree more. But times were lean, you know what I mean? Anyway, the producer told me he worked for the BBC. But, ironic twist, it turns out he, in fact, was a terrorist. And I wasn't playing a character at all, but what I now recognize to be a rather unflattering portrait of your father. We all got our just desserts. The producer got blown up by Iron Man, and I served time in federal prison, which turned out to be the best thing for me. I got clean, I rediscovered my passion.
 * Shang-Chi: And then my dad broke you out…
 * Trevor: Exactly!
 * Shang-Chi: …to kill you?
 * Trevor: Exactly!


 * [meeting Trevor's strange companion]
 * Trevor: You can see Morris?
 * Katy: Morris?
 * Trevor: Oho, Morris! They can see you! You're real! All this time I thought I was hallucinating him. Oh, this is fab news.
 * Katy: Where's his face?
 * [Morris makes a sound like he's insulted]
 * Trevor: He's a bit sensitive about that.


 * [Wenwu and the Ten Rings have entered Ta Lo, to a hostile response]
 * Guang Bo: The sins of your past would have destroyed this place!
 * Wenwu: Be careful how you speak to me, young man. I have eaten more salt than you have had rice in your life!


 * [as the Dweller-in-Darkness and its minions descend upon Ta Lo]
 * Xialing: If we're going to survive this, we have to work together!
 * Razor Fist: Do you really think I'm going to fall for that?
 * Ying Nan: Your weapons are useless against them!
 * Razor Fist: We don't need your help! We are the mighty Ten Rings! And—
 * [a Soul Eater plucks Death Dealer from the ground and devours his soul; only Nan's dragonscale blade keeps Razor Fist from meeting the same fate]
 * Razor Fist: [understandably shaken] W-w-we should work together.
