Under Fire Page #2

If you have any questions, just ask.

- Who's Rafael?

- Depends on who you ask.

Rafael? Comandante Rafael.

He is either a Marxist dupe

of Russia and Cuba

or the most popular leader

of a most popular democratic revolution.

- Take your pick.

- Hell of a face.

Would he like to be photographed?

You would never find him.

- Wanna bet?

- You would lose.

He's never been photographed.

Congratulations on your elephants.

Oh, thank you.

So far, Alex, this war

has the hell beat out of Africa.

You're gonna have a ball.

- Alex, come here! Alex!

- Hands off, okay?

I need a translator

much more than you do right now.

I thought you were

hanging in there with Claire.

Yeah, I'm hanging in there,

like an interim post-war government

waiting for the palace

to be overrun by younger men.

Younger men?

Yeah, Russel.

You know, I still only have

one major weakness.

- Oh, only one?

- Only one, yeah. I hold on to things too long.

I'm too loyal.

Okay, okay, Alex, listen.

Jody borrowed a hundred rials

from me in Tehran.

I owe 40 bucks to Dick since Christmas,

and he'll pay me in lira for a future in pesos.

Good rate. It's okay.

But you gotta pay Eddie the 50 you owe him

in dollars so I can square it with Chuck.

We got it all worked out in cash.

You take Nicaraguan?

But I'll go double or nothing with you

on the whole pile.

Okay. November 2nd, 1963.

Martin Luther King. I have a dream.

- Diem was assassinated.

- Oh, sh*t!

How'd you know that?

- Your first cover.

- First cover. Right.

- Thank you. Hey.

- Okay.

Moonlight in Vermont

Moonlight in Vermont

I'm sorry.

Sometimes the flash doesn't work.

Maybe I can fix it for you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Alex, please come here.

That's you.

There's not many places left

where I can still play.

Right.

Oh, that's great.

I like it.

Spring is here

No mistaking

Well, hell, I just got off the boat.

Give me the scoop on Nicaragua.

Well, about 60 years ago,

the U.S. Marines invaded

to protect American business interests.

They put down a small peasant revolt

led by a very small man

wearing a giant cowboy hat

named Augusto Sandino.

No, no, no, no.

I don't mean the peasant stuff.

I mean the real stuff. Come on.

Well, there are two kinds of beer.

Toni and Victoria. Victoria's better.

And two, watch out for Miss Panama.

- Hot, hot, hot, but don't touch.

- No?

She belongs to Tacho.

And El Presidente has said

that if he catches anybody with her,

- he will personally cut off the guy's...

- Pecker?

Right. And throw it in Lake Managua.

I know the tune

Love, this is it

You've heard it before

You're gonna love this war, Russel.

There's good guys,

bad guys and cheap shrimp.
