I had one like that in Okinawa.
:30:03
She had thighs as plump as that turkey,
cracked coconuts with them.

:30:06
Wait, it's not what you think.
:30:08
I chased her like a starving ARVN
hunting for a grain of rice.

:30:12
Horseshit.
:30:13
Don't run off with your dirty mind.
:30:17
Don't get a headache.
:30:18
You and me are peas in a pod.
Oriental women...

:30:22
...will tell you anything you want to hear.
:30:24
But if you believe it,
I'll be the first to salute you.

:30:27
What are you saying?
Oriental women are very loyal.

:30:32
Have a drink. All I'm trying to say is,
more power to you, buddy.

:30:37
Come on, Ly, it's Thanksgiving.
You can eat.

:30:40
Think of the starving children in Vietnam.
:30:43
Leave her alone.
She always eats like a sparrow.

:30:46
Rice and fish, fish and rice...
:30:48
...that's all the kids ever get.
They're starving for meat and potatoes.

:30:51
Give her a break. She can't eat
for her whole damn country.

:30:55
I want her to know we're being generous.
I want her to be grateful.

:30:59
Grateful. Let me tell you about grateful.
:31:01
We'd go to villages and the first thing
old men and women would say to us was:

:31:07
''Please, sir, don't kill me.''
:31:09
In Danang, we'd drive past hospitals...
:31:12
...past people our bombs had blown to bits.
:31:15
And they'd wave.
:31:17
Boys and girls with no arms, no legs...
:31:20
...waving at us like tourist
going to the beach.

:31:23
Why?
:31:24
Because they're happy to be alive
and glad to see us.

:31:29
We put them where they were.
:31:30
And there's 20 of them dead or mutilated
for every one of us.

:31:34
So don't expect Ly to do handstands
over your turkey.

:31:38
She knows exactly what she's got
and what she's left behind.

:31:46
-Well, excuse me, baby brother.
-Steve is right.

:31:49
I'm sorry, Mrs. Butler.
:31:52
Goddamn.
:31:54
It's time the kids slept in their own bed.
:31:58
They more loving when they stay with us.
