Lonnie Wu:
It is unseemly for her to be having lunch with a lo fan.

Spenser:
Is "lo fan" a term of racial endearment?

Lonnie Wu:
It means "barbarian". Someone who is not Chinese.

Spenser:
So you don't fully subscribe to the melting-pot theory?

Lonnie Wu:
I'm not here to make small talk. It would be best if you stayed out of Port City.

Spenser:
Is it okay if I retain my U.S. citizenship?

Lonnie Wu:
What you choose to do outside of Port City is your business. But if you choose to come back, we will make it our business, and I will not be able to protect you.

Spenser:
Protect me from whom?

Lonnie Wu:
From me.
