- That's who I am. End of speech.

- Understood.

By the way,

my ex-spouse did not give me the heave.

She met some rich guy

who sold comic books.

In this economy,

that's enough to vaporize a marriage.

You get replaced

by a comic book version of yourself.

Nobody wants to live where they are.

They wanna be in a fantasy. All right?

She gave me the heave.

Boy, did she blow it.

- If I may. And you have to know that.

- I know what you're doing.

You're not gonna pick my brains.

They're unpickable.

And your attempt to get under my hood

and ask barbed questions is, frankly...

Fantastic.

Thank you.

What is that?

I'm tempted to say menehune.

They're like Hawaiian leprechauns.

Or chipmunks. It's something.

Ah!

There is a lot of mana up here.

Upside-down flag.

Symbol of a nation in distress.

We're here.

Nice shortcut, by the way.

Who this?

- You lost?

- Afternoon. Ahem. Here to see the king.

You can stop right there.

- We're--

- Ha.

I'm Brian Gilcrest.

That name will carry weight

with the king.

No?

There he is.

Love of country.

- So you're a paycheck warrior now.

- Ah.

Plaything of billionaires,

in bed with the military.

I just need a little help.

This is Captain Ng.

- Aloha, Captain Ng.

- Aloha.

Heard you blew up in Afghanistan.

You looked better

when you were younger.

- Oh, thank you.

- So pale now.

Keith Richards looks like a teenager

next to you.

Okay. Okay.

BUMPY". One year, I went out and

played poker. Didn't do anything else.

Like, maybe five, six years ago.

First game was on a military base.

This black guy,

could've been 20-something years old...

...and I'm like all anti-military, U.S.,

the whole thing, right?

He comes to me and goes,

"Uncle, you like warm water?"

Ha-ha-ha.

- And I go, "Right on, brother."

And that was it. That changed

my whole turn on military.

So a military? Bigtime respect for them

when they're doing the right things.

It's an honor to be here.

It's just a budget thing, Bumpy.

We're combining two bases

and moving the pedestrian gate...

...and you can move the bones wherever,

not one tibia will be out of place.

We just need a 20-minute blessing.

My people respect you, and they want

your approval for the community.

- Carson Welch is--

- Sir--

Ooh. Your people are crooks.

Children of white missionary that

stole our country in 1893. You get it.

Bumpy, mohe, my old friend, this

is your nation, but we are in America.

Yeah, under military occupation.

You're on the wrong side, brah.

You hungry?

Great to see you. Aloha.

Come on, brah.

The word is,

something big coming through.

Gonna threaten the whole world.

Something in the sky.

Weapons, maybe.
