[ ENGINE WHIRRS ]

HURRY UP! MOVE QUICKLY!

LOAD QUICKLY!

WE MUST LEAVE RIGHT AWAY.

[ WARBLING ]

[ EXPLOSION ]

[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]

OH!

CHOPPER?

OKAY, RIVER RATS. YOU'RE HISTORY.

YO-O-O, JOE!

LEATHERNECK, TAKE OUT THAT DECK GUN.

COVER ME, LOW LIGHT.

WITH PLEASURE.

[ EXPLOSIONS ]

HYAH!

ALWAYS COVER YOUR REAR, TURKEY.

AAH! PLEASE LET ME GO!

I AM ONLY AN INNOCENT PAWN OF A CAPITALIST MACHINE!

THIS GUY MUST HAVE STUDIED POLITICAL SCIENCE AT UCLA!

[ SCREAMS ]

LEATHERNECK, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

OH, THIS IS...

I DON'T KNOW.

[ MOANING ]

THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NOBODY'S HOME.

HE GOT THAT ORANGE GUNK ON HIS HAND

AND STARTED YELLING LIKE A MADMAN.

COME ON. TALK.

WHAT'S THAT ORANGE STUFF IN YOUR FRIEND'S HAND?

I -- I CAN TELL YOU NOTHING!

THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH, MAGGOT.

NO! PLEASE! IT STEALS THE MIND.

EVER HEAR OF THE GENEVA CONVENTION?

I GOT AN ANSWER, DIDN'T I?

ENOUGH!

GET A SAMPLE AND BURN THE REST, LEATHERNECK.

ANY SIGN OF THE VILLAGERS?

DISAPPEARED IN THE JUNGLE, LIKE ALWAYS.

AFRAID OF COBRA REPRISALS.

THEY'LL COME BACK WHEN WE LEAVE.

[ EXPLOSION ]

WHAT WAS THAT?

THAT WAS THE ORANGE STUFF.

BEACH HEAD SAID BURN IT.

I DID.

VOLATILE, AIN'T IT?

WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE EARNED OURSELVES

SOME R&R IN DOWNTOWN BANGKOK

WHILE THE BOYS ON THE FLAG FIGURE THIS STUFF OUT.

OOH, THIS IS ABOUT THE BORINGEST JOB I EVER HAD.

WE'RE SPENDING ALL OUR TIME IN THE BOONIES,

AND THERE AIN'T NO ACTION.

QUIT COMPLAINING. WE'LL BE BUSY SOON ENOUGH.

THE LOAD FROM BUENG KAN SHOULD BE COMING IN TOMORROW.

HEY! INNKEEPER!

YOU MISERABLE SWINE!

GET OUT HERE! I'M HUNGRY!

DUST CHILDREN!

GET OUT OF HERE, YOU DIRTY LITTLE THIEVES,

AND DON'T COME BACK!

WHERE'S STEPHEN?

INNKEEPER!

HEY, CHILL OUT, TORCH.

HEY, DON'T TELL ME TO CHILL OUT.

I WANT SOME CHOW NOW!

WE'VE BEEN LIBERATING SMALL LUANG VILLAGES LIKE BUENG KAN

ALL UP AND DOWN THE RIVER.

TROUBLE IS, WHEN WE LEAVE, COBRA FLUNKIES MOVE IN AGAIN.

YEAH.

WELL, MAYBE WE NEED A NEW STRATEGY.

STEPHEN, DO YOU WANT TO GET US ALL TOSSED IN PRISON?

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

YOU DROPPED YOUR PURSE.

YOU -- YOU DUST CHILD.

YOU LITTLE THIEF!

I'M GOING TO REPORT YOU! POLICE!

YOU SEE, MEI-LEE, HONESTY IS AS USEFUL AS MUSIC TO DEAF EARS.

HELP! POLICE!

WE COULD HAVE EATEN FOR A MONTH ON WHAT WAS IN THAT MAN'S PURSE.

LET'S FIND JEFF AND LEI ANN QUICK.

SPARROWS HERE. ROAST SPARROWS!

GUNG-HO, LET'S GO BACK TO BASE

AND SEE IF LIFELINE HAS THE LAB RESULTS ON THAT ORANGE STUFF.

THIEVES! COME BACK!

HELP! I'VE BEEN ROBBED!

HELP! POLICE!

HEY, THOSE KIDS! WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOW WHAT?

THAT WAY!

AH, DUST CHILDREN. DISGUSTING.

WHAT ARE DUST CHILDREN?

STREET ORPHANS.

KIDS FATHERED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS DURING THE WAR.

COME ON.

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH THEM! THEY'RE LIKE WILD ANIMALS!

BUT WHY DO THEY CALL THEM "DUST CHILDREN"?

'CAUSE THEY'RE CONSIDERED TO BE LOWER THAN DIRT.

WE MUST SPLIT UP FOR A WHILE.

I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING TO DRAW THEIR ATTENTION.

DON'T, JEFF.

WHAT IF THEY CATCH YOU?

PLEASE! BE CAREFUL!

I HOPE WE HAVEN'T LOST THEM.

Jeff: HEY, YOU!

THAT'S ONE OF THE THIEVES!

YOU TWO TURTLES WILL NEVER CATCH ME!

GET HIM! HE'S OVER THERE!

CLUMSY OAFS!

GET OFF MY BOAT!

OH, NO!

THE COPS HAVE CORNERED ONE OF THEM.

SEE? I TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T CATCH ME, YOU MELON HEADS!

HEY! HEY, KID! LOOK OUT!

WHOA!

YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO SAVE ME?

NO ONE'S EVER DONE THAT.

HERE. ON YOUR FEET.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, KID?

JEFFERSON DAVIS CHU, SIR.

WELL, THAT'S QUITE A NAME.

COME ON, JEFFERSON DAVIS CHU.

LET'S FIND YOUR FRIENDS AND GET OUT OF HERE.

OKAY.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY, THIS IS TREE SAP.

HOWEVER, IT'S NOT YOUR ORDINARY GARDEN-VARIETY TREE SAP.

THIS IS FROM THE CHAULMOOGRA TREE.

IT'S NATIVE TO SOUTHEAST ASIA.

REFINED AND TAKEN IN SMALL DOSES, IT'S A NATURAL SEDATIVE,

BUT TOO MUCH REDUCES ITS VICTIM TO A NEAR-ZOMBIE STATE.

SOUNDS LIKE COBRA'S WORKING ON

SOME SORT OF MASS MIND-CONTROL SCHEME.

ATTENTION!

A-ARE YOU GONNA PUT US IN JAIL?

[ LAUGHS ]

FOR BEING HUNGRY? HECK, NO.

BUT I CAN SEE THAT WE NEED

A LITTLE DISCIPLINE AND ORGANIZATION HERE.

LINE UP FOR INSPECTION.

[ LAUGHS ]

ALL RIGHT.

I WANT EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE. NOW.

HEY, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

SO, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU SAY YOU RIVER PIRATES DESERVE MORE MONEY

FOR COLLECTING THE CHAULMOOGRA SAP FROM THE VILLAGERS?

YES. WE DO NOT RISK OUR LIVES FOR NOTHING.

WELL, I'M CERTAIN WE CAN ARRANGE FOR ADEQUATE REIMBURSEMENT.

CARE FOR A STICK OF GUM?

I CAME HERE FOR MONEY, NOT CANDY.

TRY IT. IT'S IMPORTED.

YOU ARE TOO GENEROUS.

GENEROUS, INDEED, MY STUPID FRIEND.

NOW HEAR THIS.

YOU WILL NEVER ASK ME FOR MORE MONEY AGAIN.

YOU WILL OBEY WITHOUT QUESTION.

[ Monotone ] I WILL OBEY.

NO MORE MONEY.

NOW GO AND FIND OUT WHY

THE SHIPMENT FROM BUENG KAN HAS NOT ARRIVED YET.

THE SHIPMENT FROM BUENG KAN.

VERY IMPRESSIVE DEMONSTRATION,

BUT CAN YOU MAKE ENOUGH GUM TO HYPNOTIZE BANGKOK?

WE CAN MAKE ENOUGH TO HYPNOTIZE THE ENTIRE WORLD,

MY DEAR ZARANA.

IN ADDITION TO CHEWING GUM,

WE HAVE AN ENTIRE LINE OF PERSONAL-CARE PRODUCTS

FOR THE ASIAN MARKETPLACE --

MOUTHWASH, TOOTHPASTE, DEODORANT.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS.

[ LAUGHS ]

MOVE OUT OF MY WAY, YOU BLINKING FOOL.

NOW WHAT?

LOOK, YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY ON BASE.

STAY ON BASE, IS IT?

WELL, WE'RE BLOODY WELL BORED WITH THE BASE,

AND WE'RE GOING TO BANGKOK FOR A LITTLE FUN.

YOU GONNA STOP US?

PERHAPS I CAN PERSUADE YOU TO RECONSIDER.

PERSUADE ME?

I DON'T THINK SO!

IF YOU'RE RECOGNIZED,

SOMEONE COULD CONNECT THE CHAULMOOGRA SAP TO COBRA.

YOU COULD RUIN OUR ENTIRE OPERATION.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, IF WE DO MESS UP,

IT'LL BLOODY WELL COME DOWN ON YOUR HEAD, NOT OURS,

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE BLOKE IN CHARGE.

[ LAUGHS ]

TA-TA!

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

INTERCEPT THEM AND KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE.

AS YOU WISH.

THAT'S THE PLACE I GOT THE KNIFE.

WIPE THOSE SMILES OFF YOUR FACES.

SO, YOU LIKE PLAYING SOLDIER, HUH?

WELL, YOUR ORDERS ARE TO GO BACK TO THE AIR BASE AND STAY THERE.

UNDERSTOOD?

All: YES, SIR.

WE'RE GONNA TANGO WITH SOME PRETTY LOW DIRT,

AND WE DON'T WANT YOU KIDS GETTING HURT.

YOU HEARD THE MAN. NOW MOVE OUT.

All: YES, SIR.

AND DON'T CALL ME "SIR."

I WORK FOR A LIVING.

WAIT. THIS WAY.

BUT AREN'T WE GONNA FOLLOW ORDERS?

AND MISS ALL THE ACTION? NO WAY.

I HOPE YOUR JUNIOR AUXILIARY FOLLOWS ORDERS, LEATHERNECK.

HOW DID I EVER GET TANGLED UP WITH THOSE KIDS?

IT'S THE MOTHER INSTINCT

INHERENT IN ALL GOOD MARINE DRILL INSTRUCTORS.

COME ON.

DON'T SEE ANY SIGN OF THE DREADNOKS.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT?

[ SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER ]

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!

[ LAUGHS ]

HOLD ON, MATE. BACK HER UP.

HOW'S ABOUT JOINING US FOR A BIT TO EAT, LOVEY?

RIGHT.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

WELCOME ABOARD, MILADY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

AFTER YOU, DEARY.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR YOU, DUCKY.

HEY, INNKEEPER, YOU MANGY MUTT!

DRAG YOUR CARCASS OUT HERE!

SOMEBODY ASKED FOR A MENU?

WE'RE THE NEW SHIFT.

LET'S GET THEM!

ALL RIGHT, JOE.

IT'S TIME TO FRY YOUR OMELETTE!

MAKE THEM OVER-EASY AND HOLD THE ONIONS.

HEY!

LOOK OUT, YOU FOOL!

AAH!

TAKE COVER!

COME ON. THE JOES ARE IN THERE.

[ GROANING ]

LOOK, IT'S MR. NUAN, THE INNKEEPER.

THANK YOU.

THEY WERE DESTROYING MY INN.

LEATHERNECK, ROADBLOCK.

WELL, WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

RAAH!

THAT'S MY POCKETKNIFE, YOU LITTLE THIEF!

I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!

PLAY WITH SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SIZE, TORCH.

IT'S THE POLICE!

[ SIRENS WAIL ]

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

[ LAUGHS ]

I GUESS IT'S TIME TO BLOW THIS JOINT!

HIT THE DECK!

JUMP IN, DARLING.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

I'M NOT COMING.

SOMEONE HAS TO STAY BEHIND AND CLEAN UP YOUR MESS.

ZARANA!

CLEAR OUT OF HERE.

THIS TIME, FOLLOW ORDERS.

MR. NUAN, TAKE THESE KIDS BACK TO THE BASE

BEFORE THEY GET HURT.

YES, SIR.

DON'T CALL ME "SIR."

YES, SIR -- OH, UH, UM, MISTER.

THE JOES!

GO BEFORE YOU RUIN EVERYTHING.

YO-O-O, JOE!

WE NEED TO BORROW YOUR BOAT.

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN.

WE'LL BRING IT BACK LATER.

WE HAD A RUN-IN WITH G.I. JOE.

THE DREADNOKS ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK,

BUT THEY'RE BEING FOLLOWED.

YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING DREADNOKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

AIN'T EXACTLY THE BEST WAY TO LIVE TO A RIPE OLD AGE.

CARE FOR SOME GUM, JOE?

YOUR STORY IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, SERGEANT.

YOU SAY COBRA IS BEHIND

SOME SORT OF MASS PLOT AGAINST BANGKOK

AND THAT THIS IS THE REASON YOUR THREE OPERATIVES

STOLE A POLICE BOAT AND DEFIED OUR AUTHORITY?

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, CAPTAIN.

[ WHISTLING ]

HELP!

SOMEBODY.

PLEASE, HELP ME.

HELP, PLEASE!

FETCH THE LITTLE LADY SOME WATER.

STRANGERS CAME TO MY VILLAGE, MADE EVERYONE WORK.

IT WAS AWFUL.

I ESCAPED TO FIND HELP.

DID YOU SEE ANY OTHER PRISONERS?

THREE MEN LIKE US?

Woman: YES. I CAN TAKE YOU THERE.

LEATHERNECK'S IN TROUBLE.

HE HELPED US WHEN NOBODY ELSE WOULD.

WE GOT TO HELP HIM.

THE CAMP IS JUST AHEAD. FOLLOW ME.

THERE.

NO SIGN OF COBRA OR OUR MEN.

NOW, WHERE'D SHE GO?

PROBABLY FRIGHTENED -- A SIMPLE COUNTRY PEASANT.

SHE MELTED INTO THE BUSHES UNTIL THE FIGHTING IS OVER.

I GUESS SO.

WELL, LET'S GET IT OVER WITH.

SHE'S RUNNING AWAY.

LET'S FOLLOW HER.

YO-O-O, JOE!

THIS IS WEIRD.

WELL, WHERE IS COBRA? NOT HERE.

THE VILLAGE IS EITHER DESERTED, OR IT'S A SETUP FOR AN AMBUSH.

Mindbender: YOUR COMRADES STEPPED RIGHT INTO OUR AMBUSH.

THEIR FOOLISH HEROICS WON'T STOP US.

WE'LL JUST MOVE OUR PROCESSED CHAULMOOGRA SAP

TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

AS FOR YOU, CARE FOR A PIECE OF GUM?

CHOKE ON YOUR BLASTED GUM!

[ LAUGHS ]

AND I'LL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS THING.

HOW DID YOU...?

SLIPSTREAM, WE NEED AIR SUPPORT.

ROGER. STAY PUT, AND WE'LL DO THE REST.

FAN OUT AND LOOK FOR LEATHERNECK AND THE OTHERS.

WE'RE GONNA GROUND THAT PLANE.

DON'T EAT THAT.

IT'S POISON. IT'LL PARALYZE YOUR BRAIN.

I DON'T WANT TO BET MY LIFE

ON STOPPING THAT PLANE WITH A POCKETKNIFE.

I DO.

IF ALL THIS GOOFY GUM HITS THE STREETS OF BANGKOK,

COBRA WILL BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

EXCELLENT WORK. NOW GET THE PRISONERS.

THEY'VE ESCAPED!

SEARCH THE COMPOUND!

NOT TODAY, GOVERNOR!

[ LAUGHING ]

COME BACK, YOU DESERTERS!

JUST CAN'T FIND GOOD HELP NOWADAYS, HUH, DR. MINDBENDER?

LEATHERNECK! JUMP!

HE'S TAKING OFF!

AAAAHHH!

[ GROANS ]

NEED A LIFT?

IS ANYONE IN THE MOOD FOR SECONDS?

COUNT ME IN. ME TOO.

MMM, THIS IS GREAT.

I GOT TO GET THIS RECIPE.

MR. NUAN HERE IS REOPENING HIS INN, ONLY THIS TIME,

WE'RE ALL GONNA PITCH IN SOME MONEY AND BACK HIM.

WELL, GUESS WE ALL GOT GOOD NEWS.

AS GENERAL HAWK SAID, YOU KIDS CAN COME TO AMERICA.

WE'LL FIND YOU SOME FOSTER HOMES.

NO! THAILAND IS OUR HOME. WE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.

BUT THE THAIS TREAT YOU LIKE DIRT.

LIKE DUST.

BUT IT IS STILL OUR HOME.

IF WE HAD TROUBLES IN AMERICA, WHERE COULD WE RUN?

WE HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.

I OWE MUCH TO MEI-LEE, STEPHEN, JEFF, AND LEI ANN.

THEY WILL WORK AT MY INN AS PARTNERS.

LEATHERNECK, TALK THEM OUT OF IT.

THEY'RE BETTER OFF IN AMERICA.

NO. ALL THEY NEED IS A HOME AND SOME LOVE.

WHAT COUNTRY THEY'RE IN DOESN'T MATTER.

OKAY! LOOK SHARP!

QUIT EATING LIKE PIGS, AND THAT'S AN ORDER.

YES, SIR.

DON'T CALL ME "SIR."

YO, JOE!
