And he see big chief and fight.

And kill him.

They very scared. Give up.

And then Peach Boy bring

all treasure back home.

Make old woman and old man very happy.

What was that treasure

that made them so happy?

Love.

Yes, love.

I do love you, Mama-san.

I love you very much.

I've listened to that Peach Boy

story a hundred times before...

...and never knew what

the treasure really was.

Because, my brother, you've always had it.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, George.

- Hey, George.

- Coming.

Like, this thing's still loose.

Take it to the filling station...

...to let Mike fix it.

Why aren't you dressed? You'll be late.

Well, we'll skip coffee if we have to.

You told me this is a very important morning.

It is.

But darn it, Guy. I'm afraid she'll say no.

oh, are you nuts?

All you have to do is take a look

at her and it tells the whole story.

I wish I were that sure.

Well, all you're gonna do

is ask her to go steady.

But I can't get the words out.

I've tried a hundred times. The

words just stick in my throat.

Do me a favor?

Sure, I will. What do you want me

to do? Take the car to Mike's...

No. You take Ester to coffee and church.

Find out how I really stand, will you?

Well, now, I just not might come back.

I might take her to the preacher myself.

- Thanks, pal.

- okay, here.

I'll wrap some wire around while you change.

Yeah.

Take a shave while you're at it.

oh, yeah. Gee, I can't go to bat for

my brother looking like a nukka, can I?

So that's why I came to pick

you up instead of George.

He hasn't got a headache.

And you want my answer?

Yeah.

George is a big boy. Why

can't he speak for himself?

oh, well, you know George. He's shy and he...

oh, maybe you'll have a change of

mind when I ask you in church, huh?

- Hey, how about a little

breakfast? oh, fine.

Anything you want up to 40 cents.

You're really a big spender, aren't you?

Well, that date of mine last

night cleaned me out, you know.

So suffer.

That's what you get for going

out with girls like that.

Well, now that's a fine way for my

future sister-in-law to talk to me.

Ladies and gentlemen, we

interrupt this program...

...to bring you a special news bulletin.

Yeah, that's me honking. How

about a little service, huh?

The Japanese have attacked

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by air...

Hey, Jap lover.

How's it feel being out with the enemy?

Are you talking to us?

Come on. Leave them alone.

What do you mean, leave

them alone? That's a Jap.

Hey, punk. What are you
