A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A TRADING POST IN MONTANA.

NOW I GET YOU.

WHAT ABOUT THIS--

GOOD LUCK FOR NATIVE AMERICANS?

GOOD LUCK AMERICAN.

NATIVE AMERICANS. AMERICAN INDIANS.

THESE BEARS WERE VERY SPECIAL

AND THOUGHT TO POSSESS MAGIC POWERS.

THE SPIRIT OF THE BEAR-- VERY GOOD LUCK, SEE?

I CAN FIND THE TRIBAL CERTIFICATE IF YOU WANT TO SEE.

FORGET THE CERTIFICATE.

TAKE MY WORD, IT'S ONE OF A KIND.

IS THIS OLD?

WELL, HONESTLY,

MAYBE IT'S NOT THAT OLD

BUT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM 300 YEARS AGO,

YOU NEED TO PAY BIG BUCKS.

AND THIS CONCEPTUALLY

IS AS OLD AS A 300-YEAR-OLD PIECE.

- HELLO? - Yilan over phone: Dad.

OH, YILAN.

Male voice: Hello. No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone.

I'M SORRY.

OKAY. OKAY.

I'M FATHER.

HELLO.

MADAM OKAY?

GRANDSON OKAY?

SHE WASN'T GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TO SEE HER GRANDSON.

I MOVED HER INTO THE RETIREMENT HOME.

RETIRE HOME?

OLD PEOPLE HOME.

OLD PEOPLE HOME.

MADAM BIG SON,

DOCTOR--

SHE SAY HE TAKE CARE MADAM.

BIG HOUSE.

NOT ANYMORE.

HIM AND HIS WIFE-- THEY DON'T WANT MADAM

TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BABY.

YILAN...

YILAN...

- MISTER MANAGER. - YES, SIR.

UH, MORE BUS?

NO, SIR, THAT WAS THE LAST ONE FOR TONIGHT.

MY DAUGHTER NO HOME.

I WAIT.

THE LEAST SHE COULD HAVE DONE WAS GIVING YOU A CALL

AND SAYING THAT SHE'D EITHER BE OUT LATE WITH FRIENDS

- OR WORKING LATE. - YES YES.

I SPENT 11 YEARS WITH THE C.I.A.,

SO WHEN MY KIDS WOULD TAKE OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE

I ALWAYS KNEW WHERE THEY WERE,

OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID.

C.I.A.?

MM-HMM, YES, I WAS WITH THEM 11 YEARS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, OUR KIDS WORRY US ALL THE TIME.

WE FEED THEM. WE CLOTHE THEM. WE LOVE THEM.

AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND THEY BITE US.

I WORRY. I WORRY.

WELL, THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO AS A PARENT,

IS WORRY AND HOPE, YOU KNOW?

HOPE GOOD. HOPE GOOD.

I'LL HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU THERE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE GETS HOME

SIT DOWN AND HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH HER.

AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, GIVE HER A SWIFT KICK IN THE SHINS.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR. YOU HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

OH, GOOD. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, IN CHINA

WE HAVE AN OLD SAYING--

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

"IT TAKES 300 YEARS OF PRAYERS

TO CROSS A RIVER IN A BOAT WITH SOMEONE.

IT TAKES 3,000 YEARS OF PRAYERS

TO SHARE A PILLOW WITH SOMEONE."

HOW MANY PRAYERS DID WE SAY?

NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO BECOME HUSBAND AND WIFE.

YOU KNOW,

YOU PROBABLY SHOULD WORK

ON GETTING YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO COME TO AMERICA.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET ANOTHER RUSSIAN CLASS

TO T.A. NEXT SEMESTER.

YOU MAY THINK HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE

IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR DAUGHTER,

BUT MAYBE

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW GIRLS AS DAUGHTERS.

AND SOMEDAY

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

YOU MAY WANT TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO HER--

SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE,

MEN,

AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HER MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW.

I'M PERFECTLY FINE.
