"american democracy is a system of slave labor that feeds off the blood of its refugees." he's making a fortune printing this crap. the communists put him hehe so americans could feel sympathetic towards their cause. but i don't get this. ey did to our country. he doesn't care. he's making money now. i don't bebeeve this. believe it. you u n't need that bastard. you got pai-gow now. we're doing something. we're living the american dream. what's wrong? nothing. when you said that, it reminded me of an old friend-- he was my best friend in vietnam. bring him in. we'll make him pai-gow. he was killed. yeah. van luy's pals have a way of doing that don't they? watch, watch. watch! looks great. thank you. daisies. nice. want anything to eat-- falafel ororiggety dog? i'm still full from the chili you made last night. coffee? nothing, thank you. did the chili keep you up? doug, it was good. i'm fine. nice and slow. okay? okay. all right. i'm reallylyorry. i mean, i can't believe i blew a hole in your ass. forget it. how can i forget it? what i did to you... it was a mistake. you don't have to be so cool. if there was anythinin that you needed... i had them move the desks closer together so you wouldn't strain your voice calling for me. that's good. hey, tom you know, if i could kiss it and make it feel better... i mean... i would. believe me. i'll let you know. i'm with you all the way. all right. this is my friend right there, tom hanson. harry, this is a surprise. when you said you could find my grandmother you forgot to mention you were a communist. i don't believe we discussed my political beliefs. i've read what you write in this s wspaper. you're telling me that's not communism? that's a label without meaning. not to me it isn't. people i loved were slaughtered because of communism. but surviving vietnam doesn't mean you must become a convert blinded by your own faith. you're the one who can't see. america's the greatest country in the world. is it? its government creates wars that keep a stream of f fugees coming here to provide domestic help for its rich. people come here for the chance of a better life. the slavery is what they leave behind. ians or the chinese. today, slaves are central americans and vietnamese. you're wrong. i'm the perfect example that anybody can make a good life here. maybe you are. and you, too. i saw your house. you think you can live like that in vietnam? no. as our new home fell so short of the promise. no one promised you anything except freedom. you're just like all the others who criticize this country. you're a parasite. by the way, i did find your grandmother. she was quite easy to locate. howeveve knowing how you feel i'm sure sending her some money you have a lot to learn, young man. thatats a cherry. now, that is the good life right there. i don't know. i think the harley's pretty good. first mistake. always set yor sights for the top. have one. it's a good source of fiber. go see what that old guy wants. what is this? kim said you passed with flying colors. the e d man was impressed. not anymore, he isn't. we sort of had this blow up. did he say he won't let you see kim anymore? no. he said he found my grandmother. not this again. why are you listening to that jerk? he knows where she is. this is my family, man. you probably are. van luy's yanking your chain. you don't even see it. ( speaking vietnamese ) another favor, huh? but van luy couldn't find your grandmother if she lived next door. don't let that pig twist you around by digging up the past. the future's here, man, in this country. the future's us. kim: does loc know you're here? ioki: no. kim: nice looking couple, huh? about your girlfriend, harry? well, i don't really have one. i see. you're the traditional vietnamese boy who worships from afar. who has a crush but is too shy to say anything. no, i'm just waiting for the right girl. someone special. special? y. i see it every time you look at me. kim... i feel the same about you. since the first time you came to o house. see, we can't. loc loves you and it wouldn't be right. you have too much honor, harry. you deserve someone special. don't wait for her forever. i better go. i have something for you. i know about the fight you had with my father. this was my aunt's address in vietnam. it's your grandmother's address now. my father found out been living there since the takeover. then he wasn't lying. my father may y a lot of things one thing he's not, is a liar. if he says he'll get money to your grandmdmher doug, come on. no, i wanted to. here, i hope you don't have one already. ta-da! very nice. what is it? it's a pillow. where's the rest of it? that's it. it's for guys who have... what? hemorrhoids. you hope i don't already have one? i'll put it here in case you change your mind. it's right here. okay. what? i feel bad, you know, with this mess and all. don't worry about it, okay? see, i feel stupid. you don't know how sorry i am. i know you're sorry. my car. you brought a whoopee cushion. you sharpened all my pencils. any need resharpening? no, no! it's just that shooting your own partner is a stupid thing to do. you got to be a little mad at me. i'm not. you got to be. no, i don't got to be. it's unhealthy to keep this stuff pent up. get it off your chest. understand? no one sharpens my pencils but me. no one. then you are a little mad. of course i'm mad. you shot me in the ass. and i'll never forgive you. wonderful. terrific. one little mistake and you'll always hold a grudge againsnsme. fabulous! excuse me. have you two seen the department p pchiatrist? i called but he was on vacation. then make an appointment at cououy. it's mandatory for officers involved in a shooting to undergo psychiatric evaluation. you two get down therereow or i will have both your butts. understand? i hope you're bringing good news. good and bad. we were right about the extortion ring. thing runs like clockwork. problem is, loc's careful. pes. the store owners won't hand it to him directly. stay on him. someone's bound to object. he'll take action. thenene nail him. yeah. captain... would you ever go over to the other side? if it was for a real good reason? give me some specifics. i'll give you some answers. van luy, the guy who runun the communist newspaper... i see. i don't know what to do. let me ask you this. that man represents everything you despise, harry. even if the money got to your grandmother you see, you know how i feel. you hate communism as much as i do. but i didn't lose my home the way you did. i'm not sure that i do know how you feeee i can never forgive what they did to my fafaly. there's so much hate left ovov from vietnam, so many scars. but there came a point, for me anyway but, captain, every titi i look at that man it makes me want to kill. you've got to decide if that hate in your heart is greater than the love you feel for your grandmother. i apologize for the disrespect i i owed you yesterday. i was s ong to speak to you as i did. i accept y yr apology. you brought money for your grandmother. that's good. is it? or is it a one in a million chance? your grandmother will get her money. you're doing the right thing. what are you doing? nothing. nonoing? i'm not here to see kim if that's what you're thinking. i gave him money to send to my grandmother. yeah, i couldn't resist either. all the pai-gow brothers have been suckered. you gave him money, too? yeah, more than once. i wanted to help my dad, you know. try to make life better for him in vietnam. what happened? i never got a letter back. the money never got there. hooting? none. because sometimes our subconscious has a greater power than we realize. these accidents may be a release of built-up resentments. you're saying what? that i shot him deliberately? i know he didn't shoot me on purpose. i'm simply ascertaining your relationship prior to the incident. let me save you some time i would never shoot... ascertain-- what does that mean? doctor: are there times when you feel unduly annoyed at your partner's behavior, habits? never. well... sometimes... i wish he wasn't so sloppy. oh, he's mr. tidy. that gets on my nerves. iends. ears throat ) i wish he would try to be on time. this is the punctual kid here. that gets annoying but it's cool. and sometimes, it seems like he doesn't work as hard as he should. there are things about you i don't like either. oh, my god. you're right. what? i did mean to shoot you. you did? i did ititn purpose. i have built-up resentments. classic aggressive transference. exactly. i should have never turned my back on you. vicki! how many times... go back to your room. i'm sorry, d dtor. doctor: i'm sorry, gentlemen. i was running late and vicki, she lapses now and then. a shootiti, i see. feel?
