Han: It is difficult to associate these horrors with the proud civilizations that created them: Sparta, Rome, The Knights of Europe, the Samurai... They worshipped strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible. Nothing survives without it. Who knows what delicate wonders have died out of the world, for want of the strength to survive.
Rooper: What’s this?
Han comes over to see Rooper looking at the frail, skeletal remains of a human hand inside the display case.
Han: Ohh...A souvenir.
Probably my favorite scene from Enter the Dragon. We know from the previous scene that Han is missing his left hand, which means the remains in the display was his...a delicate wonder that had died out of the world and been replaced with something crude and monstrous.
