Krause, if that's lunch, I'll be eating
out.

You dummy, I'm not cooking. I'm dying.

In that case, I'll go someplace fancy
and celebrate.

You're going to put some pizzazz into my
life. I'm dyeing this dress red. And

I'm also thinking of dyeing my hair.

Oh, really?

You need someone to hold you under?

Tired and a knot.

Dad, all I'm asking for is a $2 advance
and my allowance.

I gave you a $2 advance last week.

That's why I'm $2 short this week.

Benson, will you tell her that she can't
keep borrowing to make up her deficit?

I'll tell her if you'll tell Congress.

So what do you say?

You're wasting all your money on these
video games.

It's just not productive.

Yes, it is. It helps develop my hand
coordination.

So does sewing.

Great. Lock me in the back room and I'll
turn out shirts all day.

Benson, will you say something to her? I
wear a 1534.

Katie, no more... quarters for these
video games.

I take it that's the end of the
discussion.

Yes. So much for democracy.

Oh, Benson, by the way, are you 17 or
18?

I just told you I'm a 1534.

I was talking about our new telephone
system.

What's your extension?

11. You can't be 11.

I'm 11.

What is wrong with the phones around
here? I can't reach anyone.

Try dialing 11.

It does not make much sense to dial my
own extension.

We all have the same number.

Isn't that cozy?

You know, somebody should call up the
telephone company and read them the riot

act. Nothing would give me more pleasure
than to take on that money -mad

monopoly. You know, Clinton, you are
right. That does sound like fun. I'm

to call them myself.

Benson.

Yeah. Benson.

Yeah. This is for you. They just
delivered it to the back door.

I didn't order a... Colored TV? Who's it
from?

Well, I don't know. It probably has a
card inside.

Lift here to open.

It's a skunk!

Well, it certainly looks like a skunk.
It is.

It's a cute little pet skunk. Yeah.

Well, at least we all agree it's not a
colored TV.

Who would send you a skunk?

Probably my old army buddies.

We're having a reunion this weekend, and
they like... practical jokes. Well, get

it out of my kitchen before it stinks up
the place. I am not touching this

skunk.

Oh, you two are being so silly. This is
a harmless little creature, more

accurately known as Mephitus Mephitus.

Thank you, Marlon Perkins.

That has obviously been dissented.

Yeah, I don't know. I wouldn't trust
that. You don't know my old eyes. buddy.

Fortunately not, but I do know a
domesticated skunk when I see one. You

with me, we're going to be great
friends.

Yes, good.

Would you believe it? To a skunk, he's
nice.

Good, Mephitus, Mephitus.

Yes, good, good, Mephitus, good.

Call the zoo and find out if they want
to adopt a skunk.

Sure, Bedford.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing?

The phones aren't ringing, so every now
and then I check to see if anyone's

calling in.

Uh -huh.

Hello?

Hello?

Denise? Yeah?

Can I see you for a moment?

There's a gorilla outside the window.
Would you ask it to step in here a

Oh, you.

No, really. Go right out to the window
there and holler out until you come in

here. Oh, come on.

Oh, come on. Quit kidding around.

It's okay. Here he is now.

Isn't he terrific?

He scared the stuffing out of you guys.

Wait a minute.

inside the suit. How you doing, Danny?

Oh, Sarge, how'd you know it was me?

You haven't changed much in five years.
You still need a shave.

How you doing, Sarge? How'd you get in
here? I got him past the guard. Said he

was Clayton's brother.

Denise, this is my old army buddy, Danny
Miller. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet

you. Would you like me to hang up your
head?

No, I'll just hold on to it. Two heads
are better than one.

Not if they're both empty.

Oh,

good, Sarge. The Sarge could always come
up with a topper.

Come on, Keith. These guys have a lot to
talk about. Yeah, gosh, you're lucky.

You know, the guys I was in the service
with never get together for a reunion.

Really? Yeah.

At least not that I know of.

Oh, how you doing?

Where's Jay and Scotty? They should be
here, Sarge. I'm telling you there's

a terrible mistake.

Benson, would you tell these immigration
officials who I am? I have never seen

this woman before in my life.

Come on, Benson.

They're going to send me back to
Bavaria.

Auf Wiedersehen, Mama.

Let's go, sister.

Benson, but... Oh, come on, Kraus,
relax.

These are my old army buddies.

Another dumb army joke.

Go climb a building.

Hey, Scotty. Hey, Jake.

Hey, Sarge.

You guys are still up to the same old
thing.

Hey, just like old times, right, Sarge?
Right, I'm working and you guys are

goofing off.

What were you looking us for?

Hey, wait till you guys hear about the
deal I got for you. Oh, another deal

Scotty. Oh, now you're going to love
this one.

Why don't you save it till the night?

No, no, if it's bad news, let him tell
us now.

Do I have to pull rank on you guys?

You wouldn't do that, sir. I choose
sorry excuses for human beings.

Fall in!

Fall in!

Dress it up! Dress it up!

See, Dad, let me talk to Mom.

What do you mean she's not at home?

She's pregnant. She has to be at home.

Garja, what did you do with my jacket?

I hung it up in the closet.

Shopping?

Well, you get right over to that store
and help her.

Because I'm worried, that's why.

Okay, I'll call you back.

Goodbye.

Or maybe I better fly home.

Yeah, maybe you should.

There's nothing more dangerous than a
pregnant woman with credit cards.

All right, Scotty, let's hear all about
your big deal. Okay.

Here, take one of these.

What is it? It's a proposal.

Does this have anything to do with the
rigs you drive? Yeah.

And my boss is just about ready to
retire, and I've always been one of his

drivers, so he's going to give me the
first shot at buying the trucking

And believe me, the price is right.

So I want you guys to invest with me.

Invest? Stop, Scotty. Come on, man. I
haven't got any bread.

This trip is a major investment for me.

I'd like to help you, Scotty, but I got
two kids in college and one on the way.

Which reminds me, man, can I use your
phone? Can I send you the bill?

I'm reversing the charges.

How about you, Sarge?

No way, Scotty. I work for the state.

So?

Well, I'm involved in trucking
regulations.

If I invest in an interstate trucking
outfit, I mean, there could be problems.

Why? Because it's a conflict of
interest.

I'd like to help.

Don't sweat it.

This is a good deal. I'm not going to
have any problem finding a partner.

Hello, Brenda?

It's me.

Yeah, I tried calling you earlier, but I
mean, I only got Tim on the phone.

Jay, if you're going to talk that loud,
you don't need the phone.

lousy connection no no no that was
vincent talking to me that's um she can

me but she can't hear him now i can hear
you darling are you okay do you

need anything oh okay i'll call you back
i love you baby she had to get

off the phone because somebody was
ringing the doorbell

This is weird, man.

It's like a Twilight Zone.

Yes? I'm Kim Won -Joo.

Who? Don't you remember, Sarge? Kim Won
-Joo. I was your prisoner of war.

I'm here for the reunion.

How you doing, Sarge? Well, I don't
believe it. Come on in. Come on in.

Do you remember Jimmy?

Hey, kid, how you doing?

Where'd you come from?

Dallas. I'm a cowboy now.

Well, you look a little small to be
playing football.

Hey, don't laugh.

My oldest son plays college ball.

So does mine.

And my wife is having a baby.

Hey, that reminds me. Can I use your
phone again, sir?

Use the one in the den, Jay.

Sit down, Kim.

Have a drink.

Hey, Kim, it's really good to see you,
buddy. Great, great. How did you find

anyway? Oh, I was in town.

I have a store here.

Then I saw Benson's picture in the paper
and the article about the reunion.

What's all this stuff about the store?

Oh, I have a small chain of convenience
stores.

Have you heard of Run Run Shops? You own
those stores?

Only about 73 of them. Wow.

Hey, everything is okay?

And she hasn't had a pain all day.

Well, no wonder you're here.

Hey, Jay, you missed a minute.

Jim here is a regular millionaire.

No kidding.

Well, my accountant's a millionaire.

A millionaire?

I didn't even know you were in this
country.

Yeah. Do you remember Lieutenant Henley?

Oh, yeah. Lieutenant Henley, the 90 -day
wonder.

The only guy who went through the war
without getting dirty.

Well, he wasn't so bad.

After it was all over, he helped me
become an American citizen.

Well, congratulations,

Kim. It's fantastic, Kim.

Isn't that wonderful?

It's great. It's a success story.

Yes. America's been good to me.

It looks like it's been good to you.
That Italian suit must have cost a few

bucks. This isn't Italian. It's made in
America.

Where I got my money, that's where I
spend my money.

You running for political office or
something?

I don't have that much money.

Well, it's certainly hard to believe
that you're the same scrawny 15 -year

kid that we captured at Quang Chiu.

I'll never forget that day.

Boy, I was really surprised to see you
guys.

Always take your rifle into the outhouse
with you.

Well, that reminds me.

Oh, pictures of the kids?

I got some pictures of mine, too.

Where's my wallet?

Oh, I left it by the phone.

I'll be right back. You might as well
call your wife while you're in there.

Very funny.

This is what I wanted to show you.
Anybody know what it is?

No, what is it? I'll give you a hint.

Remember the poker game in Pusan?

Yeah, where you cleaned us all out? Do
you remember, Scotty?

Yeah, sure, I remember. What about it?

This is your marker for $50. I kept it
the whole 30 years.

Let me see that.

What is this written on? Army -issue
toilet paper.

No wonder it lasted 30 years.

Look at this, Scotty. You signed that
baby 30 years ago, man.

Yeah. Guess I did, huh?

Hey, hold it. That's worth 50 bucks.

Here's 50 bucks.

Add it to your millions.

Hey, Scotty, I didn't want your 50
bucks.

Did I say something wrong?

You got me.

Here we go, Kim.

Looky here, man.

Pictures up front of my son.

Where's Scotty?

He just, uh, flipped out and took off.

What's the matter with him?

Me. No, no, no, no, Kim. He's got
business problems.

It's all it is. Forget it.

No, Sarge.

It's me.

Excuse me, Benson.

Scotty's here.

Oh, come on in, Scotty.

By the way, Denise.

Have you heard from the phone company?

How could I? We don't have any phones.
Right.

I'm going to grab a gallon. Okay.

Have a seat, Scotty.

I'm glad you dropped by early. I think I
found the money for your trucking

company. That's great.

That's great. But I thought you had a
conflict of interest. No, no, no. It's

me. I think I found you a silent
partner.

Ah, that's the best kind. Who is it?
Kim.

Oh, thanks, but no thanks.

What's wrong with Kim's money? Why?

I just didn't risk three years of my
life to end up with the enemy as my

partner. What enemy?

Kim's from Dallas.

If you want to ignore reality, that's up
to you.

Scotty, the reality is that an American
with a hefty bank account thinks enough

of your idea to invest in it.

Look, if you guys want him at the
reunion, it's no skin off my nose, but I

have to have him as my partner.

Oh, hi, Scotty. Having a good time? Oh,
yeah, the time of my life.

Burt and Benson, I wanted to ask you.

Excuse me.

Did your coat just ring?

Oh, that's my portable phone. They gave
it to me in case of an emergency.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Senator. Yes, I wanted to
talk to you about the farm bill.

Listen, let me put you on hold until I
get back to my office, okay?

I don't see a hold button, so I'll just
put you in my pocket.

Ray and Danny are here. Oh, okay. Ready
to go, Benson?

Yep. Hi, Governor. How you doing?

Hi, Governor.

You coming to the party tonight,
Governor?

Party? Yeah, just the guys.

Oh. Oh, I see. Yeah, you know, the five
of us.

No, it's not. I invited Crossy.

You did what?

And the little guy. What's his name?
Pete? Yeah.

That's him.

Is there some reason you don't want me
to come?

I didn't say I didn't want you to come.
I just thought it was the five of us.

Now that it isn't, of course you're
invited.

Well, if there's some reason that you
don't want me, then... I don't... Come.

Oh, wait a minute.

I can't come to dinner. I want to have
dinner with Clayton.

What a shame.

Oh, I know. We can have it at your
house.

I haven't forgotten you, Senator.

We are swimming in the Soyang River.

Hey, I remember this softball game.

Hey, softball, swimming.

Was there any fighting?

One. Over a close play at third.

Here we are in front of a geisha house
in Tokyo.

Oh, the blonde guy, he's adorable.

Big deal.

I could be blonde.

Yeah, but could you be adorable?

That's Andy.

He was from Oklahoma.

That kid wasn't afraid of anything.

Why didn't he come to the reunion?

He was killed in Korea.

I liked Andy.

He called me cousin.

He called everybody cousin.

Everybody except the officers.

Yeah, he didn't have any names for them.
He just made gestures.

I see no humor in denigrating authority.

I myself was an officer.

You're right, Clayton. That isn't funny.

You were in the Army?

No, I was in the Marines.

The Marines?

Yes, the Marines.

Tell them your combat stories, Clayton.

Well, as a matter of fact, I was with
the Adjutant General's office in D .C.

See? Told you it was horrible duty.

You spent the entire tour escorting
debutantes to fancy -dressed balls.

Believe me, dating congressmen's
daughters can be as dangerous as combat.

Clayton was decorated for foxtrotting
above and beyond the call of duty.

Yeah, it's nice of you guys to come. Oh,
thanks.

Thanks a lot. See you tomorrow.

Bye -bye.

Take care.

Danny, may I cut in?

Well, sir, at least I... So you want to
dance with me, eh, Benson?

Krause is quarter to one.

You're such a party pooper.

I got to play golf with these guys in
the morning.

Okay, I can take a hint.

Well, good night, fellas.

Well, don't everybody leap to their
feet.

Oh, thank you, Gretchen.

Gretchen, I just want to say, I just
want to say that in my book, you're

Shake.

Good night, you fools. Good night,
Gretchen. Good night, sir.

One down, four to go.

Oh, come on, Sarge. We're going to watch
the slides one more time. Jay, we got

to be on the tee at 8 o 'clock.

Well, Scotty, go back one.

Yeah, you remember this, guys?

Thanksgiving 1952. Yeah, the big feast.

Yeah, some feast.

Roast pigeons stuffed with spam.

Had some good times together.

I just wish we'd had some good food
together.

Lots of memories.

Wait a minute. They aren't your
memories. They're our memories.

Yeah, I was there, too.

Yeah, but you were on the wrong side.

Hey, wait a minute, Scotty. Now he's way
out of line.

Scotty, you're the one that's out of
line. Hey, this is supposed to be fun.

Maybe I shouldn't have come.

My sentiments, exactly.

Scotty!

Hey, Kim, you're welcome here, man.

Let's go to the slide, Sarge, huh?

Wait a minute. What's wrong with you
guys?

We fought a war over there, remember?

Andy died.

What for?

So we can just sit around and pass the
chip tip to the enemy?

I'm not the enemy.

Scotty, no man in this room was
responsible for that war.

We were all in the same situation. We
were all victims.

Am I supposed to cozy up with him now?

Kim offered to help you because he
considers you a friend, and you're

hate stand in the way. I don't hate him.
What's the problem then, Scotty? I

don't know.

Maybe just seeing him again brought back
all that bad stuff.

No, something more than that has eaten
at you, Scotty. What is it?

Look, I have been pushing a rig around
for 20 years, and I'm getting nowhere.

And some lousy POW comes over here and
makes a million bucks. It's big!

Kim is not some lousy POW.

This is a kid that we thought of as a
little brother 30 years ago.

Let it go, man.

It'll eat you up.

It's a party or what?

It's supposed to be celebrated.

Instead of celebrating a war, we should
be remembering what really went on over

there. We lost a lot of buddies.

It was a bad time.

For all of us.

Yeah.

Gentlemen, as a ranking non -com of this
outfit, I'd like to propose a toast.

To all the men who died in war, it's in
your memory that we pray for peace.

Partners?

Oh,

Benson, I'm so glad you're here.

Would you like a snack?

No, thanks, Cross. I'm getting coffee.

Oh! I have just the thing to go with
that.

Salted peanuts.

Salted peanuts and coffee?

Here, have some.

Mm -hmm.

You can hear them inside.

I'll bet.

Laugh -a -lot peanuts, my favorite
brand.

Yeah, help yourself.

Thank you very much.

I'm going to open them.

Seems stuck.

It can't be stuck.

I can't get it. Oh, here, give me that.
