Ravari ladies, kind gentleman,

education by the ancient dictionary,

Okinawan by a whim of gods.

History of Okinawa reveals distinguished records of conquerors.

We have honor to be subjugated in the 14th century by Chinese pirates.

In 16th century by English missionary.

In 18th century by Japanese warlords.

And in 20th century by American Marine.

Okinawa very fortunate.

Culture brought to us.

Not have to leave home for it.

And we learn many things.

Most important, that rest of the world not like Okinawa.

World filled with delightful variations.

Example, in Okinawa no rucks on doors.

Bad manners not to trust neighbors.

In America rock and key big industry.

Conclusion, bad manners, good business.

Another example,

in Okinawa watch self in public baths with nude ready quite proper.

But picture of nude ready in private home quite improper.

In America statue of nude ready in park win prize.

Nude ready in flesh in park win penalty.

Conclusion, pornography, question of geography.

But Okinawa most eager to be educated by conquerors.

Not easy to learn.

Sometimes very painful.

But pain make man think.

Thought make man wise.

And wisdom make life indurable.

So now we going to tell you little story.

To demonstrate splendid example of benevolent assimilation of democracy by Okinawa.

Force by name of Colonel Puddy Tree.

Number three after name indicate he is son of a son of a son.

Colonel Puddy put up many sign this exceedingly civilized.

Make a very easy for uncivilized to know what not to do.

Here laundry of officer not to fraternize with laundry misted man.

Dozo.

This gentleman honorable Sergeant Gregovic assistant to Colonel Puddy.

But not the son of son of son.

You know what he doing?

Explanation.

Colonel Puddy great student of history.

So every month wife of Colonel Puddy send him magazine called adventure magazine.

Everyone try to steal the magazine.

So Colonel hide on the desk so he can read fast.

But Sergeant always fine.

This gentleman exalted boss Colonel Puddy tree.

Colonel very wise man.

Every morning look up at the sky and make a prophecy.

But the Colonel not make mistake.

So I hide. I pretend to be asleep here.

Sikini. Sikini. Sikini.

Sikini. Sikini.

Sikini. Sikini.

Oh good morning boss you sure surprised me boss.

I want you to tell me why my laundry comes back every week with one piece missing.

Oh guess lost boss.

I know it gets lost.

What I want to find out is how it gets lost.

Oh the body is simple boss.

Family take laundry to wash in the stream.

And while friends exchange greetings, laundry exchange places.

We run down here as fast as Dickens will catch laundry boss.

Well?

Not run fast enough.

No wonder you people were subjugated by the Japanese.

If you're not sleeping you're running away from work.

Where's your get up and go?

Oh guess get up and go went boss.

Well get up and go down to the officers quarters and see if Captain Fisbee's arrived.

He has tell to report to me at once. Hurry.

Sikini.

Yes boss.

You are a civilian employee in the pay of your United States Army.

And your dress accordingly.

Yeah.

Pull your socks up.

Oh very sorry boss. Very sorry.

Socks up. Anything more boss?

None of you.

Is that as fast as you can walk?

No boss.

But the walk in your bath the socks pour down.

Earn dirt rock at Sancti.

Good morning sir.

Andies.

I'm going to get rid of that interpreter.

He doesn't set a good example.

Colonel sir.

We got to have someone around who speaks the language.

You're quite right Sergeant. Quite right.

This is an often I make a mistake.

But when I do.

It's a beaut.

I wasn't going to say that.

I was going to say by George I admit it.

I'm sorry sir.

But we've got a new officer reporting this morning.

He's been transferred to us from psychological warfare.

I don't suppose you happen to know who they are.

Aren't they something at the rear of the rear echelon.

They're just the cream of the army's geniuses.

They're just the brains behind the fighting heart.

Every man jacking them has a mind like a steel trap.

And we're lucky to be getting one of their officers.

I'll watch my step sir.

And while we're waiting for Captain Fisbee I'd like you to make a note of some new signs I want painted.

The painter hasn't finished the ones you ordered yesterday sir.

There's only one answer to that.

Put on another sign painter.

Yes sir.

Now I notice the men were dancing with each other in the canteen the other night.

Yes sir.

No dancing allowed.

I didn't say that Gregor Mitch. I don't object to the men dancing.

I want them to enjoy themselves.

But it doesn't set a good example for the natives to see non-coms dancing with enlisted men.

So have a sign posted saying sergeants are forbidden to dance with privates.

You might as well take that memo to the sign painter right now.

Yes sir.

Fakini hillboss.

Don't ever put your finger on an officer.

Not alright boss.

No.

If you want to announce your presence knock.

Ah so.

Can't you natives ever learn anything about custom.

Ah so.

What do you think you're doing.

Oh not the no boss do what you ask.

Everything in this country conspires to annoy me.

Well where is Captain Fisbee.

Oh he come on now boss I'll run head.

A sack of water.

Captain Fisbee reporting sir.

Welcome to team 147.

I can't tell you how glad I am to have you captain.

Thank you sir.

Frankly we're so desperate for officer personnel I'd be glad to see you even if you had two heads.

That'll be all Sikini you can wait outside.

Okay.

Sit down captain sit down.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Oh sorry boss.

I sit by door boss.

Oh me as well.

Be comfortable here.

Yes sir.

Not sitting.

Have you unpacked.

Well yes sir yes sir I unpacked as soon as I got in last night.

Well it's too bad because you'll have to pack again.

Oh.

I am sending you the to be key at once.

We need a man of your caliber up there right away.

Well thank you sir.

I'm informed captain that you requested this transfer from psychological warfare to my outfit.

May I say that I am honored.

Well in all fairness sir I think I should tell you that I was requested to request it.

Oh.

May I ask why.

Well it you see sir it seems that my my propaganda to undermine the enemy's morale undermine the staff's morale instead.

How did you get into psychological warfare in the first place.

I was requested to request a transfer.

From what.

The pay master general's office.

What was your duty there.

Well I had charge of the payroll computation machine.

Well until.

Until what.

Well.

You know machines have always been my mortal enemy Colonel I don't believe that they're inanimate.

They're not inanimate at all they're full of malice and ill will.

I ask you what happened captain.

Uh huh yes yes sir.

Well this machine this this you know the payroll computation machine.

It made a mistake it seems of a quarter of a million dollars in the payroll.

And unfortunately the men were paid before the mistake was discovered.

What did they do to you.

Oh they gave me a job licking envelopes.

And then you asked for a transfer.

No.

I developed an allergy to glue.

How many outfits in this man's army have you been in captain.

See how many are there now sir.

Never mind I admit disappointment but not defeat.

I thought you were given to me in recognition of my work here frankly I.

Expect to be made a general soon.

And I want that star for my wife's crown.

Naturally that's very hush hush.

Oh yes naturally.

You know something sir you know something I just think that perhaps I just wasn't cut out to be a soldier that's all.

Captain none of us was cut out to be a soldier but we do the job.

We adjust we adapt we roll with a punch and bring victory home in our teeth.

Do you know what I was before the war.

A football coach.

I was a pretty paperbox company of Potawatomi.

What did I know about foreigners but my job is to teach these natives the meaning of democracy and they're going to learn democracy if I have to shoot every one of them.

Yes sir.

What did you do before the war.

Oh I was an associate professor at Muncie.

What did you teach the humanities captain you're finally getting a job you're qualified by training the handle teaching these natives how to act human.

No I don't think the humanities are quite that sir.

If you can teach one thing you can teach another this is plan B.

Washington has drawn up full instructions pertaining to the welfare and recovery of these native villages.

Consider it your Bible captain.

Yes sir.

I'll study it very carefully now there might be some questions though I'd like to ask Washington has anticipated all of your questions.

Yes I know but you see I was thinking you don't even have to think Captain this document relieves you of that responsibility.

How is your Japanese.

Oh not so very good no no not good sir.

Oh I can see you'll need an interpreter.

Well I know no I've got just a man for you Colonel Colonel I could study the language you don't need we won the war.

The beginning present for socks up not sleeping.

Sir Kevay this is Captain Fissby.

We meet before boss you forget.

Yeah we met I'm assigning you to Captain Fissby.

He's going to take charge of a village at the top of Okinawa a village called Toby key Toby key boss very nice to play sports but not at top of Okinawa at the bottom.

Don't tell me where the village is under my command or located.

I happen to give a caution map reading very sorry boss but happened to be born in Tobikius at the bottom.

Then it's time you learned where you were born.

Very sorry boss but the map upside down.

Why doesn't the army learn how to draw a map properly.

Remember me all security.

First version Gregor vision have my son in chief to Captain Fissby then loads supplies the captain's gear in the Jeep you'll be leaving at once.

I mentioned you in prayer to God boss I wait for you and you come down.

I sometimes think we occupation teams have a tough and combat troops.

I wouldn't say that.

They have it rough for a while but we have the killing daily grind with no glory in it.

Yes sir I know what you mean sir life itself is a battlefield with its own obscure heroes.

I consider that poetry captain.

Oh no no that's that's prose Colonel.

It isn't mine you know it's Victor Hugo.

Oh yes sir I'm sorry.

It isn't mine you know it's Victor Hugo.

Oh yes Victor Hugo how I love tale of two cities.

Isn't that Dickens isn't it Dickens sir.

Well to get back to Tobiki your first job when you get there will be to establish your municipal government and to build a school.

Yes sir.

Plan B calls for the schoolhouse to be Pentagon shaped.

When the schoolhouse is built you will organize a ladies league for democratic action.

Uh huh.

This is a chance for you to make a name for yourself.

Yes sir I feel that I personally have delayed victory at least a year and I want to vindicate myself.

Well that's the kind of talk I like to hear from my officers.

Thank you.

Well I won't detain you then.

Yes sir.

My only order to you is put that village on the map.

Yes sir.

Send me a bi-monthly progress report in triplicate.

Yes sir.

Don't duplicate your work.

Alright, what are they saying?

Children want to go to Yatoda Forest.

Our orders are to proceed directly to the island.

Oh, this is the Wiggy Walk.

Oh!

Oh, please.

Oh, please.

Oh, please.

Now, according to Plan B,

my first job here is to hold a public meeting, Sakini.

You see, I want to make very certain that the people out there understand that I come as their friend.

That we intend to lift the yoke of oppression from their shoulders.

Oh, they'll write that, boss. That's a favorite speech.

What? What do you mean, their favorite speech?

Oh, when Japanese come, they say the same thing.

Then take everything.

No, no, no. You don't understand, Sakini.

We don't come here to take anything from them.

We've come here to give them something.

Oh, that's all right, boss. We're not mine.

After eight centuries, we get used to it.

Now, when friends come,

we hide everything quick as chickens.

So, I'm going to tell people you make your speech, boss.

So, socks up, boss.

Oh, we need a drink for you.

Oh, everyone here, here to meet you, boss.

All right, might as well get started, Sakini.

Citizens, up to... Oh, yes.

Thank you very much.

Americano, Taiso Sam Capitan, Fis V.

Huh.

Citizens of Tobikiville... Oh, boss, sorry, boss.

Can't begin the lecture yet. Why not?

What seems to be the trouble? I've...

Not a good manners, boss. Why?

Because people bring you gifts. You must accept gifts first.

Oh, no! Sakini, wait a minute. You've got it all wrong.

I'm here to bring gifts from my government to them.

No, very rude to make people feel poor, boss.

Oh, well, I don't want to do that.

You get up here, then, Sakini, and tell them that I'll accept their gifts.

But in the name of the United States' occupation forces.

Sorry, John, but I myself.

All right?

I may go home.

Oh, here, Mr. Hokkaido, boss. He gave you very nice gifts.

Well, thank you very, very much. What is it?

That's a very splendid cricket cage, boss.

What do you use a cricket cage for?

Oh, you keep your crickets in there, boss.

No, there isn't. There's no cricket inside.

No! You've got to get your own cricket, boss.

No one's going to get for you.

Oh, I see. I got it. Yeah. Thank you.

Thank you for me. Tell them I'll keep my eye open for a cricket.

Yeah. I got to.

What do you keep a cricket in the cage for?

Oh, so fortune's smiling, you boss.

A cricket very good rock.

The boss here, Mr. Omura, he gave you a chapstick.

Go ahead and manage. Go ahead, sir.

What do you say?

He said he hoped that only food of God's touch your lips.

No, that's a very nice.

You know, that's one of the nicest things I've ever heard.

Boss here, Mr. Seko.

Yes?

Thank you.

That's what it's like to be very comfortable for tired feet.

He said, may you walk in prosperity.

You tell him that I will walk in the cool meadow of pleasant memories.

Huh?

What's the matter? Is that all right?

Oh, boss, that's very pretty, boss.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you. That's all right. Thank you very much.

And boss, he missed you. He's got you.

She's unmarried lady, boss.

She gave you three eggs.

Oh, isn't that nice?

Yes. You know, tell her that I'll have these eggs for breakfast in the morning.

You tell her.

Ah, no, no.

Kamen, no, no. Kamen, no.

Kamen, no. Kamen, no.

Chicken and the egg. Kamen, no, no.

She says, you hope you're going to enjoy your turtle egg, boss.

Turtle eggs? Yes.

Oh, my.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, you're very big success, boss. They sure like you already.

Oh, I'm, yes.

Oh, boss. Turtle eggs.

I mean, I'm still getting a little bit too much.

He gives you a very nice, raccoon cup, boss.

Oh. He makes that cup himself.

No, he didn't.

Well, you thank him for me and tell him that I'll be forever indebted to him

for his very lovely gift.

You are most welcome, captain.

Hey! You speak English!

Oh, boys, miss you all should have taught me English

when I'm a little boy in Tohviki.

In my youth, I work in Manila.

How is Mr. McKinney?

Oh, you mean President McKinley?

Well, I'm afraid somebody shot him.

I am sorry.

Well, that was a long time ago, you know.

Yes, a long time.

May August Moon fill your cup.

Why an August Moon, sir?

All moons good, but August Moon,

little older, little wiser.

Does it Sikini say that you made this cup all by yourself?

Oh, yes.

You know that this is a lost art, Sikini.

This is an industry we could start right here, right now, into beaky.

Now, do you think you could mass produce these?

Mass produce?

Yes, you know, set up machines, turn them out by the gross.

I take pride in making one cup at a time, Captain.

How many of these do you think you could turn out in, oh, say, one day?

If I work hard, maybe one or two a week.

Fine, that's good.

You make as many of these as you can.

We'll send them up to the American Post Exchange,

and we'll sell them just as fast as you can turn them out.

I shall do my best.

Fine, we're in business, Sikini.

Now, Mr. Hokaito, you make a whole lot of those cricket cages,

and the gaiters, they're fine.

We can sell a lot of those gaiters.

And the chopsticks, great.

A lot of those chopsticks, and I saw some straw hats.

See those straw hats, Sikini?

You make a lot of those straw hats.

We're going into the souvenir business, folks.

Oh, we all gonna make money, boss?

They make enough of these things.

I'll guarantee the recovery of Tobiki Village.

You tell them that.

Oh, boss, you've got a big success.

They sure like you already, boss.

And they say they're gonna make everything fast as they can.

Sikini, though, would you mind asking them

to postpone any more gifts for right now?

Because I want to tell them what we're going to do for them.

Oh, OK.

So, this is what we're going to do.

This is what we're going to do.

Oh, OK.

They say, OK, boss.

They got no more presents for you and him.

Oh, all right, because it's very important, Sikini,

that I tell them about the schoolhouse

that we're going to build here for their children.

Now, we're going to build here for their children.

Now, according to Plan B, I believe it says

the direct approach is the most effective.

So, you ready?

Oh, I'll say, boss.

Do you want to be ignorant?

So, what do you want to be?

Huh?

What?

What was that?

They say yes, boss.

Yes?

You mean they want to be ignorant?

Oh, no, boss.

Oh, in Japanese, boss, yes, I mean no.

They say yes, we not want to be ignorant.

Oh, I see.

Do you want your children to be ignorant?

No, boss.

No, wait a minute.

No, they do or no they don't.

Yes, boss.

They not want to know ignorant children.

Right.

Now, there's going to be a daily issue of rice

for everybody here.

Yes.

Yes, and we're going to build a fine new schoolhouse

for your children.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

Yes, boss.

What's a schoolhouse for your children?

Pentagon.

Pentagon shaped.

It's something I've heard before, boss.

What?

What's that?

Pentagon?

What does that mean?

What do you mean by Pentagon, boss?

Never heard before.

Do you mean they've never heard of the Pentagon?

No, boss.

They certainly do need a school here.

Pentagon, everybody knows what the Pentagon is.

Is it possible that they've never heard of the Pentagon?

No, boss.

It really means five-sided, you know, Sikini?

Five-sided?

Yes, has five.

Ka-be-ga-tsu-su-sai, ichi-ni-san-shi-go.

Ah, go-kaku no kodomu nanti, yashinai-wa yo ne!

Oh, no!

They say, boss, they say that there are no children in Tobiki that have the five-sided.

No, no, the school has five-sided.

Not the children, I mean not in the real.

No, you see, it's like a building in Washington, folks, and everybody is going to learn about

democracy.

Ma-zu-min-shi-shiki-bara-bara-bara-bara.

Min-shi-shiki-bara-bara-bara?

They say, what is democracy, boss?

They know what rice is.

Yes, all right.

Democracy is a system of self-determination.

It's the right to make the wrong choice.

And...

Machinattimo inna yo.

Machinattimo inna yo.

No, wait a minute.

No, no, no, we're not getting through to the Sikini.

Look, let me explain it this way.

Now, suppose I'm back home and I don't like the way that Uncle Sam is treating me.

Well, do you know what I can do?

I can write to the president himself and I can tell him so.

They say, but do you send that letter, boss?

Well, let's get on with the lecture now.

Now, folks, we're going to show you how democracy really operates, because we're going to hold

an election right here and now in this village, and we're going to organize this village.

So, the mayor here, Sikini?

Here's the mayor boss to write a white coat.

Oh, no, we're going to have to get him a new white coat, Sikini.

We wouldn't want to get a new mayor now.

Oh, you better keep a mayor, boss.

It's very hard to find a white coat.

All right, we got the mayor.

Now we need a chief of police and we need a chief of agriculture.

Now, who'd make a good chief of agriculture here?

Uh...

So, Sikini, you know what you're doing?

Sikini!

They say they let Mr. Sikini work.

He's the best man for the job.

He's an experienced farmer, huh?

He's an artist, boss.

What?

He artist.

He draws a lovely picture of gold and wheat and butterflies.

Sikini, just a minute, you know, just because he draws a very nice picture of wheat, that

doesn't make him an experienced wheat farmer.

Wheat does not grow here anyhow, boss.

Just sweet potatoes.

Oh.

All right.

Well, if he's their choice, fine.

Now, we're going to have to...

What did he say?

He wants a white coat like mayor was.

Oh, well, you said that we can't get a white...

Well, that's all right.

If he doesn't get a white coat, we'll get him a...

Folks, you know what we're going to do?

We're going to get him a helmet and we're going to have written on the helmet, see?

Chief of agriculture.

Oh, Yoshio, I'll get you a helmet.

All right?

Thank you very much.

Now, all right, fine.

Now, now we need a chief of police.

Now, who'd make a good chief of police?

This is Kishi.

Hokkaido.

Hokkaido, boss.

They say the legman's okada heat champion wrestlers afraid of him.

Yeah.

That's all right.

Strong, boss.

Yes, indeed.

All right, fine.

Now, we got a...

What?

He wants a helmet, boss.

Oh, fine.

Sure.

We'll requisition a helmet for him, too.

I'll get you one.

Fine.

Now for the ladies.

Now, we're going to organize a...

I know what it is.

It's a ladies league for democratic action.

And we're going to have to have a league president.

Now, who'd make a good league president for the ladies league for democratic action?

Boy, the ladies like that, boss.

They never vote before.

Fine.

Kon-dowa minjishigi fujin demme desu.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

They say they want him.

Because she's going to make a classy president.

I'm sure.

I'll get her a helmet, too.

Thank you.

All right, fine.

Now, I tell you, I've been talking a long time here, haven't I?

Folks, I bet you there's some questions you'd like to ask me.

Ask them, Tsukini.

Sir, I have something to ask you.

What time is it now?

She said what the time it is, boss.

What time?

The time?

The time?

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time.

The time is, it's a quarter to five.

Why?

Oh, they got to go then, boss.

They don't want to miss the sunset.

Every afternoon, they like to go sit in the pine grove

and sip tea, watch the sun go down.

Oh, here's an ending.

All right, Tsukini.

You thank them all for me and tell them they can go to the pine grove

and sip tea and watch the sun go down.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How do you think we did?

Oh, take one for it, boss.

Future of Barry Rossi.

I wonder where I can find a cricket.

Oh, maybe have cricket in the house now, and I know, boss.

I'll take these.

OK.

Thanks, Tsukini.

Sure.

I'll be around here.

You want me, boss.

Right.

Psh, psh, psh.

Wow.

Where's Barry Rossi?

Here.

Oh, he's got a really nice pair of shoes.

Oh, he's got a really nice pair of shoes.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You go over there.

Go over there.

There.

Oh, wow.

Psh, psh, psh.

Now, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

Please, please, please, please, please, please.

Please, please, please, please, please, please.

Yes?

You busy, boss?

No, what is it, Tsukini?

Boss, Mr. Sonora, the e-call present for you.

Oh, well, put it on the shelf there where it'll be out of the way.

Oh, not able to boss, the present get mad.

What?

Thank you.

Rushi.

What are you talking about?

The present from Mr. Sonora, boss.

Introducing Lotus Brasson Geisha Girl First Class.

America's son, Captain Phis B.

Yano Shiku.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

This is Hansa, right?

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, she says she's very happy to belong to Hanson Captain.

She says she's gonna serve you well.

She's not going to serve me at all.

Now, I want you to get your friend and I want you to tell him

that I'm returning his gift.

Impossible to do, boss.

Why?

Mr. Sonora go to Mount of Vizac Cousin.

Here is the present for you and wish you very best success in Tobiki.

What? What did she say?

Oh, she says she want to know where you want her to stay, boss.

I don't care where she stays, but she can't stay here.

Where she go, boss? She got no home now.

Hey, what?

What if she's going to return home?

You want to put your kimono on for you, boss?

No.

She trained to please you.

I know what she's trained to do

and I don't need any translation there.

Now, you get my stuff out of the supply shack

and you, you know, and we'll put her up over there.

Oh, not very democratic, boss.

She thinks you make her lose her face.

She thinks she backgages her gut.

Well, I've got a little bit of face to save in this thing.

No, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't give me any of that oriental,

hanky, panky business.

No.

All right. What, what's she saying?

Well, she say for me to go home to grandpa, boss,

and she fast-crossed Gagesha Gush.

And she know her business.

Good night, boss.

Sakini?

Uh, this is all a big mistake.

You know, uh, Sakini?

Me?

Me?

Me? No.

Ha, ha, ha.

No, this is not a kimono.

This is a bathrobe and I don't want to put it on, you see.

Sakini!

This is against regulations.

Oh!

You don't have to shout.

I can hear you.

This is Colonel Purdy.

Yes, sir.

Just thought I'd check up on you.

Our thing's going.

Anything I can do for you?

I can't think of a thing, sir.

I realize it's bound to get lonely for you down there.

So you know what I'm gonna do, my boy?

What are you gonna do?

I'll tell you.

I'm gonna go to the hospital.

I'll tell you.

I'm gonna send you some of my old adventure magazines.

No, no, I don't want them.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir, very much.

I-I-I would like something to read, sir.

How are you gang along with the natives?

Well, it's an age-old problem, sir.

It's a question.

Are there struggles to see who's going to lose face?

I understand.

As Mrs. Purdy says, east is east and west is west,

and there can be no twain.

But you are making progress.

Well, nothing that I'd like to put on paper, sir.

Well, send in a detailed progress report.

Well, if that's what you'd like me to do, sir, yes, sir.

You will find that these people lack the capacity

for sustained endeavor.

Don't hesitate to build a fire on them.

I don't think that that will be necessary, sir.

Don't forget, the eyes of Washington are on you, Fisbee.

Oh, I hope not, sir.

I hope not.

It just occurred to me.

Have you given any thought to physical education?

Well, I-I don't think that that-

you know, sir, that was a masterpiece of time, minister.

Thank you, my boy.

Could you use a deck of cards?

Sir?

Bye.

Hello? Hello?

Fisbee, you're getting weak.

Well, be good, my boy.

Keep up the good fight.

Bye-bye.

Hey.

Hey.

No.

No.

Just stop, please.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Ah.

Zekini?

Zekini!

Oh, hallo, gozaimasu.

Oh, what's that?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Do you know where-

Do you know where my chief of police-

Do you know where my chief of police is?

My chief of agriculture.

And the boss, you and the-

Ohio, or the heinous-

Zekini!

Oh, oh, boss.

Say, where you been? We're looking all over for you.

What are you talking about? Where have you been?

Where's my chief of agriculture?

There's not a man working in this village this morning, Zekini.

Look around for yourself. Look, there's not a man to be seen.

Wait a second, boss.

Roto's blossom.

Rive all her things to the bossy, boss.

She got no way to come here, but so, this morning, everyone

was looking for me.

Do you mean to tell me that she has so much stuff

that takes my entire staff to move this woman,

this girl to my village?

No, boss, but chief of police, not trusted.

Chief of agriculture, and we-

No.

May I not trust Mr. Oshira, so all got to go, boss.

Oh, my sh...

Mr. Oshira, that old man?

He all bossed by not dead.

Well, that's a fine way for a-

That's a great way for officials to act, huh?

As soon as they get back here,

I'll take them in my office, Zekini.

Okay, boss.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

I'm here with you.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Welcome.

Everyone, please be quiet.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's hot, so...

Everyone, please be quiet.

I'm a train driver, so...

Please, please.

Please, please, please.

Please have some tea.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

Thank you, thank you.

No.

No, no, no, no.

Please, please, please.

Please, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

What's the trouble?

Don't know more.

What's the trouble?

Don't know more.

Don't know more.

You know what they say?

They say they got discrimination here, boy.

Discrimination where?

Where?

Where?

Wait a minute.

Look at this.

Look at this.

What's that got? She gonna tell?

She gonna tell.

Look at this. She gonna show you what.

What I gonna show her?

They'll wait.

They'll wait.

They'll wait.

They'll wait for the right place.

Yes.

They'll wait for the right place.

Yes.

They'll wait for the right place.

Yes.

That's a lot of trust.

That's a lot of trust.

Look at this.

Ah!

Come on in.

You don't have to get in.

You're coming.

There's another person in the back.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What's that got?

She's the real one.

I wish you wouldn't use that.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Wait a minute.

This is the thing that undermines the democratic ideal.

You tell her that I intend to do something about it.

You tell her.

Ha ha ha!

No, wait.

Wait.

Hold it. Hold it.

Wait a minute.

I'm gonna see right now

that we're gonna have to get rid of this disrupting factor

in our recovery program.

I see.

Not you!

McEvoy, a wasi, please.

What you gonna do, boy?

This village isn't big enough for plan B and a gay girl.

Oh, Tobiki never have a gay girl before.

We like a body multiple.

She's got to go.

No. Major McEvoy, this is Captain Fisbee at Tobiki.

Just a minute.

I have a request, sir,

from one of my people

to transfer to your village.

It's... yes, sir.

It's a female citizen, sir.

Uh... oh...

Uh, her job?

She doesn't make her go not democratic was.

Uh, yes. As a matter of fact,

uh, yes, her name is Lotus Blossom, major.

How did you know?

No, no, sir.

No, sir. I am not trying

to put anything over on you, sir.

It's, uh, major.

Mm-hmm.

Oh...

Oh, you did?

Oh, you did?

Oh, he know.

Lotus Blossom was.

Yes.

You know something, uh...

It doesn't matter fact,

Lotus Blossom was at Awasi.

She nearly wrecked his plan for recovery.

Oh, so. Oh, so.

Don't give me that. Oh, so.

Listen, do you know that she has been booted

out of every village

by every commander on the island?

Oh, poor little Lotus Blossom.

Oh, poor little Lotus Blossom.

By golly, now I know why

the Mr. Sonata or whatever his name is.

Just, pfft, off he goes, disappears.

I know why. I know.

You know that the major gave him 100 yen

to get that girl out of that village?

Well, by golly, she's not going to cause any dissension here.

No.

Ladies! Ladies!

Ladies! Ladies!

Ladies! Ladies!

Ladies! Close the door!

Ladies! Ladies!

Ladies! Ladies!

Just a minute, please.

Wait, just one minute.

Please, just...

What is it you want?

What does she say she's waiting

for some democratic action boss?

And if she don't get a boss,

she says she's going to write this Uncle Sam

you talk about. Wait a minute now.

No, no, we don't want to do that.

We don't want any letters going to Washington

about any trouble around here.

And all these lovely ladies have been...

I know you've been very worried about it,

but we're going to take care of it.

Every bit of it is all going to be taken care of.

Stop it!

You don't have to stop it.

Just let me know.

She's a priest, not a ruminant discrimination boss.

Just give her some.

What does she mean by that?

She says, rotors plus unfair competition.

Well, granted.

She says, you promise everyone

you're going to be equal boss.

And I intend to keep my word.

But she says she can't be equal boss

unless she has everything

Lotus Blossom has.

What Lotus Blossom has, the government doesn't issue.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

All right, all right.

Yes, just a minute now. What is this?

She says she wants you to get her

and Ladies League following items.

A, red stuff to put on lips like Gishaldo.

B, stuff that smells very nice.

Now, wait a minute.

What do you think the post exchange would think

if I were to put in a requisition for lipstick?

I mean, this is ridiculous.

Dummy, dummy.

Now, what?

Oh, she says she thinks she's going to have to write this

Uncle Sam after all, boss.

No, you don't.

Wait a minute, ladies.

Ladies, ladies, ladies.

Come back.

Come back here.

No, just one.

Come on.

Sit down.

Don't, please don't.

Now, look, will you explain to Sikini, listen,

Oh, my, just explain to her

that I will phone the

post exchange at Awasi

Yeah, I'll get some.

All right.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, it's all right.

Yes?

What now?

What did she say?

Oh, she said one more thing, boss.

She said she wants you to get Rotas Pras on

to teach all the ladies to be Gisha girl.

No.

No.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Here you go.

It's quite a lot.

This is my chest.

Your chest?

Oh, your heart.

I'm going to die soon.

You're not going to die soon.

You want to go to America?

What?

You're not going to die soon?

You're not going to die soon?

You're not going to die soon?

I'm sorry.

I was just going to say that.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Fusbin!

Oh, boss.

Look who's here.

Rotas Prasov come to see you.

All right.

Now, where have you been all day?

No, don't bother.

Don't bother to tell me.

I know you've been out upsetting the agricultural...

No, upsetting the agricultural horse cart.

Oh, she says, son, boss,

a true clown's not a used smile on her.

I'm not smiling.

Oh, no.

Yes.

Oh, no.

I'm not smiling.

Oh, no.

I'm not smiling.

Oh, no.

I'm not smiling.

Oh, boss, I know what you give you.

The works.

No.

When ready give a gentleman's croissant on a body,

now what that means is heart really do unfold.

Well, this is one, but it's not going to bloom.

Hot stuff.

Hot stuff, Mr. Ikanami.

What's this?

She want to know you want some...

No, no.

No, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Come take a look.

Come here.

Come over head to head.

Even if he did not,

you just say she wanted to believe the good things.

Well, please, let her go with me.

But Louie,

if that's how it gets greater,

you would not want to transfer her

work, money, or our money,

and then you would have given her

IDE cosmetics,

including 24 bags,

including an earPeter hat,

with my recovery program.

Do you want some tea, boss?

No, I don't. No.

Oh, you want to hear some music, boss?

No, I don't.

She said you'll get us, boss.

What's wrong with you?

You want to tell her your trouble, boss?

Tell her my trouble?

Now, what do I want to tell her my trouble?

Oh, Shigeshigo, boss. That's her business.

Yes, yes. Some business. Some business.

Oh, I see.

Oh, she's very sad, boss.

She want to help you because she...

She said you're the best boss she ever have.

You'll not take money from her.

You'll not make her work.

You mean to tell me that the men who owned her

hired her out and then you...

and they took money from her?

Oh, sure, boss.

Oh, well, now, really. I mean, you know where I come from.

The men who do that sort of thing.

Oh, you got the geisha business in America, too, boss.

No, but...

Well, I mean, look, will you please explain to her

I have no intention of making her work

and I'm certainly not going to take any money away from her.

Why not, boss? She paid dues to geisha guild.

She remember and goods them.

This is really... I mean, this is the most

immoral thing I've ever heard of.

No, I mean, I don't say, Sakini, that where I come from

we don't have...

Well, you know, but I mean...

By golly, we don't have unions.

We don't set rates and we don't collect dues.

No, no, boss. No geisha guild not dues.

No, no, no, wait a minute. Everybody knows what they do.

No, no, they're everybody wrong, boss.

What do they pay for her?

Oh, you...

Well, very hard to explain, boss.

Poor man, right of you, rich.

Rich man, right of you, wise.

Sad man, right of you, happy.

So all go to geisha house and tell trouble to geisha girl.

No, she listen very politely.

She say, oh, that's too bad, boss.

She very pretty.

She sing, she dance, boss.

But soon troubles go away, boss.

So that's not worth something, boss.

Sakini, I apologize to you.

I really apologize.

I'm very glad you cleared things up.

That's kind of... kind of puts a new light on things.

She say, why you smile at her all of a sudden, boss?

You mad or something?

Sakini, will you ask her if she'd be kind enough

to give geisha lessons to the ladies league for democratic action?

Huh?

Oh, boss.

Oh, boss.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

They all come to see you, boss.

Oh, what can I do for them?

Oh, they have a meeting in democratic fashion

and majority agree on resolution.

They want you to build them a child.

What?

A child.

A tea house, boss.

A tea house?

Sure. Now the tobi geisha girl like big city boss,

they want a tea house like big city too.

And they say you give a lady league what they want, boss.

I can't build them a tea house, Sakini.

I have no authority to do that.

Oh, you say where the majority is at all, boss?

You gonna break the law?

No, I'm not gonna break the law.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Well, look, they're going to have a school, you see.

Now that's enough.

Oh, school?

Well, the majority too old to go to school.

They want to have a tire, a tea house.

We haven't got the materials to build a tea house.

Oh, no.

Oh, she say yesterday big army truck come and leave

lovely lumber and beautiful paint books.

That's right. It's for the school house.

No, it just can't be done, folks.

Oh, okay.

No, it just can't.

No, it's not.

They say you give a lady league what they want.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

They say you, you've got a mean to them, boss.

After present, they give you everything.

But...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, folks.

I'm really very sorry.

Oh, they're very sorry too, boss.

Because to be, you're right to be proud of us.

Tea house give them a face.

It's gonna be a fine school.

Five sides.

May I speak, Captain Zang?

Yes, of course, Mr. O'Shearer.

There are lovely tea houses in the big cities.

But the men of Tobiki have never been inside them.

We are too poor.

All of my life, I have dreamed of visiting a tea house

where paper lanterns cast a light in the lotus pond

and the bamboo bells hanging in the pines.

Tinker as the breezes brush them.

But this picture is only in my heart.

I may never see it.

I am an old man, sir.

I shall die soon.

It is either for the soul to depart this world

laden with envy or regret.

Give us our tea house, sir.

Free my soul for death.

But we haven't any carpenters.

Break some, break some.

Break some, break some!

Who was it? What do you think of Mr. Sunana

and the Papa Sun used to come down from Mata right now?

All right. All right, I haven't got a chance.

I guess Uncle Sam is going into the tea house business.

Captain, please be...

Hey!

Uncle Sam!

Hey!

Hi.

Thank you.

Captain Fisbee?

Hello, this is Colonel Pardee.

Oh, yes, sir. How are you, Colonel?

I want to talk to you about your progress report.

There's nothing in here about the new schoolhouse.

Didn't you get the lumber?

Yes, sir. Oh, yes, sir. As a matter of fact,

we're using it out there now, sir.

But, uh, Colonel, I think we're going to have to have some more.

I said, amp, according to specifications,

how big a structure you're building?

Well, sir, we have to consider expansion, you know.

Population increase.

We don't need to consider expansion.

I'm going to be out of there by the next generation,

which brings me to another point.

What's this about six kids being born last week?

Well, sir, it's the only thing I could fill the progress report with, sir.

Then you failed at your indoctrination.

Don't you know yet that births are entered under population increases?

They're not considered progress.

No, not children, sir.

Kids. Goats.

There must be something wrong with this connection.

It sounded just as if you said goats.

You see, I'm trying to increase the livestock down here.

Goats. Look here, Fisbee.

Suppose some congressman flew in to inspect our team.

How could I explain such a report about goats?

The population of civilians alone concerns us.

I want to know exactly what progress you've made as outlined in Plan B.

Well, sir, I'm, uh, getting along with the people.

In other words, nothing.

Listen to me, Fisbee. Do you know what Major McEvoy has accomplished in O'Wassie?

No, sir.

Then I'll tell you. His fourth graders know the alphabet through M.

This whole village can sing God bless America in English.

I wish I could say the same.

Well, see this you do.

I don't want any rotten apples in my barrel.

Now, I want to know exactly what you've accomplished in the five weeks you've been down there.

Well, sir, now, well, we have started an industry.

In matter of fact, we're sending our first shipment out this week.

Now, we're making gaiters.

Wait a minute. What in thunder is a gaiter?

No, no, it isn't a gaiter, sir. It's plural. Gaiters.

Gaiters, you know, you have to have two.

Are you breeding some other kind of animal?

No, no. You see, you wear them on your feet and they're very good for the metatarsal muscles, Colonel.

And now I have another group. They're out there making cricket cages.

Captain Fisbee, what kind of cages did you say?

Cricket cages, Colonel.

You know the cricket, the cricket, the black bug that it rubs its hind legs together.

I think we can sell just thousands of those cages.

Of course, we don't supply the cricket.

Nicely done.

Captain Fisbee, have you taken your salt pills?

Oh, yes, sir, every day at Chaiya and the Pine Grove.

Have you been going out in the sun without your hat?

You see, I wear a cassa, sir. It's a...

The wind blows through the straw.

It kind of ventilates the brains.

I see. I see.

That'll be all, Captain.

Grigibish.

Yes, sir.

What's the name of that psychiatrist over at Awasi?

Captain McLean.

Yes. You can get him on the phone. My minute, Tbiki's gone completely off his rocker.

Good morning, Marnie.

Good morning.

Hello?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Jimmy.

I see you. Bye.

Well, who are you?

Oh, you startled me.

I'm Captain Fisbee. Can I do something for you?

Oh, well, I'm Captain McLean.

How do you do?

There was nobody here, so I came in.

Medical car. I see it. See?

What are you doing out here in Tbiki?

I'm on leave. Oh?

Just thought I'd spend it down here.

Making some ethnological studies of the natives.

That is, if you have no objection...

No, I don't have any objection. That's in your way, isn't it? I'll take it.

I was just examining that.

That's my cricket cage.

Oh, you like crickets?

I haven't found one yet, but I have the cage.

Matter of fact, I've got two of them here. Would you like to have one?

No, no, no, thank you.

What happened to your uniform?

Oh, it's around. It's around. I find gait isn't a kimono much more comfortable in this climate.

But isn't that a bathrobe?

Well, it passes for a kimono.

Why don't you take your shoes off, Captain?

Oh, no, thank you. Thank you, no.

I'll just keep them on.

Right, fine. No objection.

Of course, sit down. Sit down.

My good chair. My good chair.

Thank you.

Well...

I may ask, what's your building down the road?

Oh, that's my chaya.

You know, that's going to be really something to write home about, Mac.

A chaya?

Mm-hmm. See?

If you have a geisha, you got to have a chaya.

You know.

How have you felt lately, Frisbee?

Mac, I'm going to tell you something. I have never felt better.

I feel reckless and happy and carefree and...

Well, and it all happened the moment I decided not to build that pentagon-shaped schoolhouse.

What?

The good Colonel. He ordered me.

He ordered me to build a pentagon-shaped schoolhouse down here.

Well, then, he'll say, wanted a tea house.

And would you believe it, one of them gave me a geisha girl?

So I decided that I was going to give them what they want.

I guess it sounds kind of crazy to you, doesn't it, Mac?

Well, yes. And no.

You know, these are wonderful people. Wonderful people with a strange sense of beauty.

Hardworking? Hardworking when there's a purpose.

You know what they're doing out there?

They're making cricket cages and lacquerware and chopsticks and all things to sell as souvenirs to the people up north.

Don't let anybody ever, ever tell you that these people are lazy.

Oh, that's...

Oh, I see.

No, you don't.

You don't.

You don't? No, no, no. But you will when you get a chance to study them.

So you're building a tea house?

Yes. And you know what I'm going to do next?

I'm going to go up there and test that soil and see if it won't grow something besides sweet potatoes.

Do you see? I'm going to send for some nitrates and DDT and chemicals.

Chemicals?

Yes.

You want to poison these people?

What are you talking about? No.

Look, Captain...

What? I'm sorry.

You just touched on a subject that's very close to my heart here, gardening.

Yes?

You know, for years I've been on a point of giving up my career.

Just so that I could set up an experimental farm somewhere where I could raise vegetables organically.

Nature's way. No poisons, no chemicals.

Let me tell you something, Captain.

Chemicals will kill all your earthworms.

And earthworms areate your soil.

They do.

Do you know that the earthworm leaves castings eight times its own weight every day?

That much?

Organic, it's the only thing.

Compost, manure, but no chemicals.

You know a lot about this.

I can tell.

I subscribed to all the farm journals for years.

You know what I'm saying?

Listen to me, I've got the greatest idea.

While you're down here, you could really do us a big favor, a big service, mind you.

You could sort of take over supervision, establish a kind of, what do you call it, an experimental station.

Huh?

Well...

Oh, I haven't got the time.

Take time, man. Take time.

Now, this is a chance for you to put those theories of yours into action.

These are not theories. These are proved facts.

Just tell us how to go about it. That's all, Mac.

Is your soil acid or alkaline?

Oh, Gully, I don't know if that's the first thing we've got to find out.

You're just the man we need down here. You're a genius.

I'll want plenty of manure.

You'll get it.

And I want to set this program up, scion tip.

Oh!

What's the matter? What is it?

I wish I had my books, my seed...

Oh, I got a stack of seed catalogs down. Hi!

You have?

Oh, man. And I...

Well, let's sit down here. Sit down. Sit down.

You know what you can do? You can write down a list of those, those seeds and those catalogs.

Now, those books you got at home will have the airstrip boys flying in from the States.

Can you do that?

How can I do it? Sit down.

Oh! What do you mean? Can I do it? Of course I can do it.

Make the list. We'll get started.

You know, every spring I've made lists of seeds.

I never had any soil to put them.

Oh! Now I can actually germinate.

Make the list. Make the list right now and we'll get started right away.

A corn, golden bantam.

Yes.

And country gentleman.

Right. Hybrid.

I got to check. Hybrid.

Hybrid? Yes.

I got to check with my Department of Agriculture now,

but I'll be back. I'll be back this afternoon.

Because you and I, we'll have tea in the pine grove, Mac.

See, we have tea in the pine grove every afternoon when the sun goes down.

Cucumber.

Early green prolific.

Oh! And radishes.

Crimson giant.

Crimson giant.

There's no answer, sir. What do you mean there's no answer?

Well, keep trying. I'm not the kind of a man to take no answer for an answer.

Tomatoes, ponderosa, early ant.

Watermelon, all American. Gold, metal.

Hello?

Who is this?

This is Captain McLean.

This is Colonel Purdy.

Can you talk?

Why not?

I'm anxious to hear your report on you know who.

On who?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

On who?

Captain Fisbee, the man I sent you down to examine.

Oh!

Well, Colonel,

looks like I'll have to be down here several weeks.

Several weeks?

Rome wasn't built in a day.

What?

I said Rome wasn't built in a day.

Well, you're the doctor.

Thank you, but I expect to work miracles.

Splendid, splendid.

Is there anything I can send? Some old adventure magazines or anything?

Say, Colonel, there are a couple of books I'd like.

I don't think you could get them.

You name them.

Well, one is the Principles of Pea Production.

And the other one,

the Do's and Don'ts of Cabbage Culture.

Oh, and Colonel,

do you think you'd lay your hands on a soil test kit?

A what?

A soil test kit.

I want to test the soil down here. See if it's sour.

Sour, did you say?

Well, yeah.

If it's soil, it's sour. Your seeds won't germinate.

And, oh, I'd love to lay my hands on some bees.

There is something wrong with this connection.

And you know I'm going to have to take some time out.

I got to build up this soil, you know, with manure.

Did you say manure?

Yeah. Nature's way.

Oh, I've lost faith in chemicals. You kill all your worms.

Oh, let me tell you, Colonel,

when you kill a worm, you're killing a friend.

Hello?

Grigovitch. Yes, sir?

Where's Plan B?

What did you want, sir?

I want to see who I send to analyze an analyst.

Excuse me.

That's hot water.

Hot water.

Hot water. That's it.

Captain, where's the visa?

Oh, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Come on, over here.

I've got a list of seeds.

Put some more hot water in the pot, because we have a guest here.

This is lotus blossom.

You know? That's the geisha girl I told you about.

She can't speak English.

She doesn't need to.

Oh, hey, the seed.

Sit down here.

Come over here and sit down.

Have some of this. You know what that's real jasmine tea?

Here's a pill.

Take off your shoes.

Now, about those seeds, if we can rush them right over...

Now, we're going to sit here and watch the sun go down,

and we're going to contemplate the end of the day.

The sky is so white,

and the clouds are so clear.

The clouds are so clear,

and the sun is so bright.

Iza ya, Iza ya,

yu ka.

Captain, I'm sorry to interrupt.

You're not set.

You're supposed to let me have a couple of boys that help me in the fields.

Mac.

I'll get Sikini to get a couple of boys to help you out.

All right?

Now, Mac, sit down, Mac,

and listen for a while.

Will you sing it again for my friend Mac here?

Mac, but quiet, huh?

All right. Here we go.

Iza ya, Iza ya,

very sorry to interrupt a lovely song boss with emergency out here.

What's the matter?

What do you want to come back for?

Oh, all right. Well, we better go see how they made out with the souvenirs.

Sikini says he wasn't good enough for you.

Yeah, put it up here. Here, use this.

All right.

All right?

What's this? Now, what's happened here?

The old souvenir come back, boss.

What do you mean it come back? You mean it said it didn't sell anything?

No, no, no. The soldiers would look at the straw hat to say,

what do you think we are? Hey, see, Mr. Oshiro, look,

you were at your total. What happened there?

The Navy always spends money.

Sarah said, how much you want?

I said 25 yen.

It's good.

They say oh, too much can get the money.

Too much can get better in five and ten store.

Give you one nickel.

Well, didn't you tell them, Mr. Oshiro,

that every one of those cups is handmade?

They say, not care.

They say, at home, have big machine,

make ten cups every minute.

They say, take nickel or jump in the egg.

How do you like that?

Boss, you gonna stop a walk on the tea house?

No, we're not going to stop work on...

They're gonna get that tea house, Sikini,

if they don't get anything else.

By golly, you can tell them that I'm very proud

of that work that they've done.

I'm so proud.

And you can tell them too, Sikini, that I'm very proud of them.

Oh, I am. I really am.

I don't understand it. No, no, no.

I don't understand it. I don't understand it.

Boss, they sure wish they could make some money

to spend in the tea house, boss,

because they don't like to go for like beggars.

I know.

Gokuro, Gokuro-san.

Yeah, it's fine. America-san is fine.

America-san is not fine.

See, he said, boss, it's not your fault

that no one buys souvenirs.

No, no, no.

They're going home to get drunk now, boss.

You know, I don't blame them, Sikini.

You know, if I could find something to drink, I'd do this.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, folks.

What are they gonna get drunk on?

Oh, they got nothing but brandy, boss.

Nothing but brandy?

Oh, wait. How are you gonna manage to get brandy?

Oh, we make a very fine brandy, boss,

from sweet potatoes, so we make them for a generation.

You make brandy yourself?

Yeah, sure, boss. You want to taste some?

How am I gonna use it?

Hold it. Do-do.

Ah, so? Here you go, boss.

Mac, Mac, my dear friend Mac,

if this stuff is only halfway good,

we're, oh, man, we're really in business.

You know, this is one thing that our men, I know they'll buy this.

Look, it may not be any good, you know,

so that some things even our troops won't drink.

Well, take a sip, boss.

I don't want to smell it.

Obviously, it has a kick.

Yeah. How old is this stuff, Sikini?

He's still gone.

What, none gone?

Seven years?

When else are seven days, boss?

I don't know. I mean, it wouldn't smell like that in seven days.

What day?

Maybe the last week, boss.

Oh, here, you try it.

Mac, you're a medical man. You give it a try.

Oh.

Come on, first. No, no, no, I insist. You're my guest, boss.

I wave the honor.

You know, anybody ever die or go blind from this stuff?

Oh, we're not the dead bulls. We're not blind.

Course not. You see, come on, man.

They've worked up an immunity over the years.

I don't want to kill one of my own countrymen, you know.

You know, there must be some way to test this, though, isn't there?

Without me, there isn't, huh?

Huh?

Ah!

Sakini, get me, uh, get me Elsa Maxwell.

One of the goats coming up, boss.

Elsa Maxwell. That's what we need.

See, that's Higga Jigga's goat. You know, well, test is on her, you see.

Oh, well, I don't know what you're gonna prove.

Goats have hearty stomach.

No, look, if this Brandy, if this, if this passes the goat test,

we're really in business, you know that?

You know why? Because no marine elaborate method

of his stomach is weaker than a goat.

Hey, boss, you're gonna make a getting pig up goat?

Yeah, give me something to put it in, Mac.

Anything at all.

That's fine. That's fine. That's just fine.

Whoa, Elsa Maxwell, what a lucky goat, boss.

You better hold her head, Sakini.

All right, doctor, proceed. The name of science.

Take it easy, take it easy.

We're either gonna have an industry or goat meat for dinner.

Whoa, whoa, not too much.

Oh, no, no, no.

Hey, hey.

You all right? All right?

What do you think, doc?

Doesn't seem to affect her. Reflex is okay.

Huh? Here goes.

Oh!

Huh?

Oh!

Oh!

Hey.

Where you going, boss?

I'm about to form the cooperative brewing company of Tobiki.

Whoa!

Whoa!

All right.

Offers us club at O'Wassie, please.

We're gonna make a brandy, boss.

I'll tell you in a minute.

Officer's club at O'Wassie?

This is Captain Fisbee speaking at Tobiki.

Yeah, oh, Major, Major, this is Fisbee.

Yeah, well, you know, when I was with your unit,

we had a hard time keeping a supply of liquor at the club.

You remember? Yeah.

Well, Major, I think that I have stumbled onto something

that might be of interest to you.

Yes, as you know,

Tobiki is the heart of the brandy industry.

And you say brandy.

Yes, brandy.

Look up the word sweet potato in my dictionary over there, Max.

See, there's a fancier word for sweet potato.

Oh, I'm here, Major. Yes, here I am.

Uh-huh.

Now, look, Major, I think that I might be able to supply

some of that brandy to you.

That is, of course, if you're willing to pay the price.

And you keep the source secret. Yes.

Hmm? Oh, they've been making it here for generations, sir.

Oh, yes.

Matter of fact, I'm sure you've never tasted anything quite like it.

Hold on a minute, Major. Huh?

The Haitian name for sweet potato is B-A-T-A-T-A.

Batata.

Major, you've heard of, uh,

seven-star batata, haven't you?

Oh?

Oh, will they make it here in Tobiki?

Yes.

Seven-star God of my heart.

Brandy eight or ten-day-old better.

Nine or ten-day-old.

Uh, Major, we also have eight-star batata,

and we have ten-star.

Of course, the ten-star, now, mind you,

that comes a little bit more expensive, yes?

Uh, that will run you, uh...

100 occupation yen a gallon.

T-D-A-T-A-T-A.

Delivered.

Yes.

What?

How many?

Five gallons.

Yes.

Five gallons will be delivered in one week.

It will be delivered by our, uh,

Department of Agriculture.

Yeah. Right.

You're welcome, sir. Right.

All right.

All right.

All right, sir.

Hello?

The news kind of gets around fast, uh?

Hello?

Oh?

G-H-Q-H-H, uh, G-H-Q-P-X?

Yes.

Yes.

Oh?

Uh, 30 gallons?

No.

C-O-D?

Yes.

Right.

It'll be there.

Right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's gonna work, huh?

I don't have to tell you. Let's go to...

Let's go.

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

I've got my cricket!

Oh?

Yes.

I've got my cricket!

Take it away! Go Tona!

Hey, Chachini, what are they doing here?

Oh, what the...

We're devoting water for a lotus pond.

You can't have a tea house without a lotus pond.

Yeah, where you go, fish-mac?

If you have a lotus pond, you gotta have lotus...

Hey, boss!

Everyone will send me to bring you to a tea house opening, boss.

Look, look, isn't that something?

This is the first krat, boss.

Huh? Hey, boy, that's really something, Mr. Chachini.

Oh, fuck that, right?

Well, come on, let's go.

Well, lead on!

Okay.

Good morning.

Ah, welcome.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This way.

Welcome.

Good morning.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yes, thanks.

Well, you sit here.

Lotus prasma gonna dance in your honor.

Hey, hey, hey, you hear that?

She's gonna dance.

Come on, sit down, Matt.

You're a farmer. This isn't my honor.

How can I stall, Purdy, so I can stay down here?

No, no, no.

Hey, have a relapse for you.

All right.

Huh?

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Switch.

Park to sit down.

Well, what's a nice slice of cake?

Whoo!

Look.

Fingernails and shaking eggs.

I can't help.

Take your hands off my hands.

Yes, yes.

Take your hands.

Voice over.

Rice cake, please.

I'll go.

I'm in the wrong room.

Happy birthday.

I'll be.

How did you know?

I gave you away.

Everyone likes to show appreciation.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

How very lovely you are.

And a happy happy to you.

You know what you do?

I call for flowers.

That means you give your heart to her.

I do. We all do.

Isn't it beautiful?

She can dance in my chaya any day.

Pardon me, sir.

Are you sure this is Tbiki village?

According to the map, sir.

The place seems to be deserted.

There was a light over there.

Come on.

What?

What is it?

What do they want?

They want you and a doctor to sing a song.

Sing? No.

No, no.

Come on.

Come on, Max.

Come on. We're going to sing something.

How about... How about...

How about you and the other Texas?

Oh, why not?

There aren't any Texans here.

Listen, we're going to have some fun now.

Come on, Mexicini.

Look, you know, I want to tell them that they're going to help us out.

See, when we clap four times and sing deep in the heart of Texas,

they're going to join in.

Oh, no, that song. Very nice, boss.

We demonstrate.

What is it?

Stars at night.

Stars at night are big and bright.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Come on, Max.

Come on, Max.

Come on, Max.

Come on, Max.

Come on, Max.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

And we clap four times in one minute.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

And we're all ready.

And we're all ready.

We're all...

All right, Plaight, you ready on the left?

We're ready on the right.

Here we go.

The stars at night are big and bright.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Very moving, very moving.

Sky is big and high.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Stars at Bea, big and bright.

Break it.

Yes, sir.

Right.

The prairieYN sky is big and high.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

The stage in bloom is like perfume.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

The one I love.

Deep in the heart of Texas.

What's in there?

What's in there?

There's something in there.

There's something in there.

I see you, Miss.

You're not a bad person.

I see you.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where are you?

Come on, come on.

Let me down.

Let me down.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Sit down.

How many lectures have you delivered to the village children on democratic theory?

Well, now, let me see, sir.

Four, five?

No, no, no, it wasn't that many, sir.

Three?

No.

Two?

No, no.

You've only delivered one lecture?

None, sir.

Don't tell me you haven't delivered a single lecture.

Yes, sir.

I've not delivered no lecture.

Any lecture.

Have you organized a women's league for democratic action?

Oh, yes, sir, I did that.

I sure did.

Yes, I sure did that, sir.

How many lectures on democratic theory did you give them?

None, sir.

You can't mean none.

You must mean one or two.

No, just none.

I refuse to believe it.

Oh, I'm very glad, sir.

I must go.

Where?

My seedlings are wilting.

I have to transplant them.

Captain, you'll pack your gear and transplant yourself

to your unit at once.

Yes, sir.

They'll die.

This is murder.

Please, take care of my beans.

Now, is the schoolhouse finished?

No, sir.

Why isn't it finished?

Well, we haven't started.

What does he do with the lumber, I say?

We build a tea house.

I don't suppose you have any asper in here.

Huh?

I know.

I don't think so.

What in the name of occupation do you mean by saying

you build a tea house instead of a schoolhouse?

Lotus Blossom, she had to have a place

to teach the ladies league gash lesson, sir.

Feed me!

Yes, yes, sir.

What?

Uh...

How could you sink to such depths, man?

Well, I was only giving in to what the majority wanted, Colonel.

I don't doubt that statement.

I don't doubt that statement, not at all.

It's a sad thing it took a war to convince me

that most of the human race is degenerate.

I thank my stars.

I come from a country where the air is clean,

where the wind is fresh.

Oh, for heaven's sake, sir.

There's nothing that goes on in a tea house.

It's your own mother couldn't watch.

You be careful how you use my mother's name, Fisbee.

Well, my mother, then, sir.

Sir, there's nothing immoral about our tea house.

Well, answer me this.

What is bringing all that occupation money to this particular village?

Uh...

It's...

Well, answer it. No, no, no, no.

It's nothing, nothing.

It might be for me.

Answer it. No, you see this?

The phone, it rings all the time.

Oh, there you go. I'll answer it.

Hello?

What do you want?

Who is this?

Well, Commander Myers, you must have a wrong connection.

This is not a brewery.

Yes?

Yes?

Yes.

Oh, I see.

I see.

I see.

Well?

Well...

There was nothing else that we could make, Colonel,

that anybody would want...

would want to buy.

Brandy!

This ends my army career.

When I promised Mrs. Purdy I'd come out of general.

You've broken a fine woman's heart, Fisbee.

I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

You sullied the reputation of your nation.

And all the tears...

All right.

Shall I kill myself?

Oh, don't minimize this.

You don't know the enemy's genius for propaganda.

Well, what have you done with all the money you've made, so dishonestly?

I banked it in Seattle.

Oh, that's despicable.

Making a personal fortune off the labor of these ignorant people.

I haven't touched a cent of this money, Colonel, now.

Now, it's all banked in the name of the Tobiki Cooperative Company.

See, everybody in the village, they're all partners, don't you see?

You know?

You know, Cher and Cher-Ly.

That's communism!

It is?

I'll be looking to get out of this war in private.

Captain Fisbee.

Yes, sir?

You will consider yourself under technical arrest.

You'll proceed to HQ at once to await court-martial.

I intend to wipe this stain from our country's honor.

Grimwich!

I hate you, Colt, sir.

I did!

Yes, sir.

Will you have some business to attend to here before going on to Owasee?

Yes, sir. I'm glad to hear it.

Captain, may I congratulate you on what you've done for this village.

It's a dream.

Thank you very much, sir.

It's an alcoholic dream!

It's one vast distillery!

I want you to take a detail in some axes and smash every still in this village.

Destroy them?

Be on repair!

I want you to take another detail and rip down that tea house.

But Colonel...

I'll let them every time to roll.

That's in order.

You understand?

Yes, sir.

Wait until the lunchtime is over.

Yes, sir.

Cut it, sir.

No, I want it too.

I pray for what we'll do.

What message do you want?

A message.

Open up.

No, sir.

Please, sir.

I'm very sorry I don't talk as much to the guys.

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

I got skull�

I'm sorry.

Boss, sorry, boss.

A jeep all over now.

I'll be along in a minute, Sikini.

You going to take the road to the spot, so what, you boss?

Sikini?

Sikini.

Ask her for me if there's anything that I can do for her before I go.

Ask her.

No, I don't.

Do you have anything to say?

Boss, I'm getting married to you.

You're such a fool.

I'm telling you.

What does she say, Sikini?

She says she wants to marry you, boss.

Now, why would she want to marry me?

Oh, she says you're the nicest man she ever seen, boss.

No, you tell her for me that I'm clumsy.

I got a talent for destruction.

I'd only disillusion her just the same way I disillusioned all her people.

I want to go back to America with you, Sikini.

She says she likes to go to America, boss, where everyone's happy, sit around and sip tea while the machine do work.

But tell her I'll never forget her.

I'll never forget this village and on the other side of the world and the autumn of my life.

When an August moon rises in the east, I'll remember what was beautiful.

And what I was wise enough to leave beautiful.

She said, boss, she'll never forget you.

And she'd like you to know that she's going to make up a wrong song story about you to sing in a tea house.

And she said, maybe in a hundred years from now, you're going to be famous all over Okinawa.

I'd like that.

I'd like that.

I'd like that.

I'll go get that car.

Oh, he sure want to push a wheelbarrow for her, boss.

Excuse me, but go ahead.

She said, OK, but not to think that she's his property.

You're very happy, girl, boss.

Pista!

This...

Please keep this.

She's going now, boss, but you still have boss.

So she says she'll not go to you, drop a fan from her face.

Pista!

Pista!

I've written a full report of this whole affair to your commanding officer.

I'm only glad you don't belong to my outfit.

I won't tolerate rotten apples in my barrel.

Hello?

Who?

What?

When?

Sit down, Captain. Sit down. Sit down.

Make yourself comfortable.

Sir, give me your hand. Have some of these, the candles.

Pista!

Take your shoes off. I'll be right back.

You going now, boss?

Yeah, I guess so, sir. Keep me here.

Hey, boss, since you not take rotas, you maybe you take me?

No, Sikini, no.

I work for you for half price, boss.

Major McAvoy's coming down here to take charge, and...

Well, he's gonna need your help, you know?

Oh, you're a very hard-mannered bargain, miss, boss.

OK, you want, I'll book just for isolation.

No.

Well, you mean you're gonna make me work for nothing, boss?

I mean, yes, you're not going to work for me at all, Sikini.

No, you belong here.

OK, boss.

Oh, boss, you know what I think gonna happen when American leave Okinawa?

What?

Oh, I think we're gonna have to use a pentagon shape of school out there.

A pentagon shape for a house or for tea house.

So long, Sikini.

You're a rare rascal.

So long, boss.

Say you know I'm gonna miss you.

Hey, boss.

Yes?

You not failure.

I'll tell you something, Sikini.

You know, I used to worry a lot about not being a big success.

I think I felt an awful lot like you people felt, always being conquered.

Well, you know, now I'm not sure who's the conquered and...

Who's the conqueror.

So...

I've learned in Tbiki the wisdom of gracious acceptance.

I don't want to be a world leader.

I've made peace with myself somewhere between my ambitions and my limitations.

That's good, boss.

Well, to step backward in the right direction.

Take care.

Socks up, boss.

Sikini!

Sikini!

Sikini!

Where's Captain Fisbee?

Oh, Joe, right over here, boss.

Fisbee!

Fisbee!

Fisbee, come back here at once.

I've written shape, too much paperwork.

You call, sir?

I've been looking all over for you, Fisbee. You can't leave.

You've got to stay here. You've got to help me, Fisbee.

I don't understand, Colonel.

We've got to pull it out.

We've got to pull this village back together again.

The lid is blown off of everything.

Where's Begavitch?

He's out there. They're breaking up the rest of the stills.

Oh, no.

I radioed the report to Washington.

Some fool senator misunderstood.

He's using his village as an example of American get-up-and-go in the recovery program.

We're all over the newspapers.

That's wonderful, Colonel.

It's not wonderful.

A congressional committee is flying over here to study our methods.

They're bringing photographers for a magazine spread.

Fisbee, tonight.

Oh, that's bad.

Colonel, wait a minute. Maybe there's some way we could stall them.

Maybe we could... Maybe we could quarantine the place or something.

You can't quarantine a congressman.

They've got immunity or something.

Oh, my.

Fisbee, help me.

I don't ask it for my sake.

I ask it for Mrs. Partick.

I could be a Brigadier here yet.

Brigadier?

Brigadier?

Brigadier!

Brigadier!

Brigadier!

Did you call us, sir?

Come here, come here, Brigadier.

You haven't destroyed all the stills?

Have you, Brigadier? No. No, of course you haven't.

Oh, yes, I have.

I carried orders out to the letter.

Why can't somebody disobey orders once in a while?

What's happened to the American spirit of rebellion?

Son of a stroke?

Potato brandy, sir.

Sergeant, wake up.

Do you hear me? Lesson in order.

Colonel, I'm afraid he's passed out.

It's desertion. I need every man.

Gregoritch, get to your feet.

Come on, Sergeant.

Gregoritch!

I want to ask you some questions.

Sorry, sir. Stop weaving.

You're weaving, sir.

I'm standing perfectly still.

You smell like a brewery.

Oh, I fell in a vat.

You got drunk?

No, sir. I fell in a vat.

Naturally, I had opened my mouth.

They yell for help.

Go to the office and sober up at once.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Sergeant.

Sergeant.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

I think I'm going to need you. Stand by.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no.

I'm a sinking ship.

Scuttled by my own men.

Colonel Putty.

Don't bother me.

Stills not all destroyed.

I haven't got time.

What did you say?

We're not the born yesterday.

We get the Sergeant drunk, give him a water barrel to break.

Sinkini!

My friend, you're not saying this just to make me feel better.

No, stills as good as ever, boss.

Production not cease yet.

Sinkini, you really are a rascal.

No, he's really an American.

He's got get up and go.

Sinkini, listen.

If you could get the people in the village to work together,

how long do you think it would take them to rebuild the tea house?

Oh, we're not destroyed, boss.

We just take away in height.

Come here.

Now we're going to show you, okay?

Now I'll get up and go.

Hey, how's your day off?

Ah, shi-shi. Hey, hey.

Hey, Taki.

Hey, Taki.

Hey, Taki.

We're right back.

That's the old man, Taki.

The old man is right back.

The old man is right back.

The old man is right back.

It's a land of mystery and the orient.

It's beautiful.

It's simply beautiful.

There's only one thing wrong.

It needs a sign to tell people what it is.

And we ought to put another sign up over there,

naming this Grace Purdy Avenue and another sign.

Sir, how about a nice cup of tea?

All right?

Come on, careful.

20 star for the Colonel, Sikini.

OK, boy.

OK.

Reto's story now concluded.

But history of world unfinished.

Ravidei's kind gentleman, go home to Ponder.

What was true at the beginning remains true.

Pain make man think, thought make man wise,

and wisdom make life innurable.

So may August moon bring gentle asleep.

Sayonara.
