General Luna Page #4

General, do you know

how to speak English?

[Speaking in French]

There! Over there!

He says Your crazy.

My English is running out.

Arrest him already!

Damn it!

Quickly!

Damn your foreign tongue!

This tea would go better

with ensaymada.

General.

Is everything ready?

Ah... we have a problem.

The Americans?

No, sir.

Our officers.

They invited their families on

the train for sightseeing.

There is no room for

the troops to board.

Damn it!

You should try ensaymada with that.

Out of my way!

Out of my way!

Idiots!

We are not going sightseeing!

Out!

Out!

That was a big headache.

That's just Filipinos being Filipinos.

Family comes first.

And that's our biggest fault.

We risk our lives for our

families and neighbors

but for the idea of nationhood?

I can count with my

fingers the true

patriotic soldiers

I've met in my life.

I remember one skirmish in Malabon.

The fighting had stopped

around dinner time.

There wa san American

colonel who was

having dinner inside

an abandoned house.

Lets see who has balls

amongst our infantry.

Now,

I'm giving you a chance to prove

your worth to this army.

Who wants to harass the Americans?

They're all having dinner.

There is a colonel

inside a house

in the western side of town

who is a sitting duck

at this very moment.

Who wants to take a shot?

Do we have no patriots here?

Is there no one willing

to die for this nation?

Name?

Garcia, General.

Lieutenant Garcia

is a rare breed amongst men,

the kind who's willing to give

everything for his country.

Why doesn't he just shoot

the American?

It's enough for them to know

that we are not afraid of them.

Long live the Philippines!

Long live the Philippines!

Put Garcia in

the First Battalion Sharpshooters.

He's qualified.

Long live the General!

Long live the Philippines!

If only every Filipino was like him.

There are many like him.

Not enough, Joven.

Come in.

General,

it's time.

Joven, let's continue this tomorrow.

Thank you, General.

We had to arrest a few

drunken ruffians in town last night.

One of them was your brother.

Who?

Joaquin, sir.

Fighting over a woman, I bet.

Mark of a true Luna.

You know, Dr. Rizal

and I almost got

into a duel because of a woman.

Sol heard from Paco.

Is my brother in jail?

Yes, sir. He kept screaming

that he was your brother.

Leave him there.

Be careful, General.

This is going to be tough.

I know.

What took you so long?

I hope you were discreet.

I was.

Don't laugh.

I have more to lose.

Lama woman of marrying age.

And from a prominent family,

in love with an Indian.

You are not a poor man.

Your family is rich.

But I'm right

that you love me?
