``But will your family accept her?``

-Will they, Kelly?

-l ain`t got any family.

Listen, Kelly, l haven`t got

anything against this girl of yours.

l haven`t got anything

against the Japanese anymore.

l mean, not really.

But, you know, when....

l just don`t understand

how a normal, average American....

l mean, let`s put it this way...

l think even your friends are gonna

put you down if you marry this girl.

lf the friends l got are that kind,

they won`t be friends of mine much longer.

Look, Major...

l`m gonna marry my girl if l have to give up

my American citizenship to do it.

Kelly, you stupid ignorant slob!

l mean, go ahead and marry

this slant-eyed runt if you want to.

-lt`ll serve you right.

-Wait a minute. Don`t talk to me that way!

l won`t take that from you or anybody else!

l`m sorry, Kelly.

l`m sorry.

l`m just blowing my stack a little today.

But, boy, l mean it.

l want to tell you, when you tell me that

you`re gonna give up your citizenship...

for a girl, l mean, any girl...

l think you`re nuts.

-l mean, l think you`re crazy.

-l am crazy.

l`m in-love crazy.

l think you`re going to cut your throat

and l`d just hate to see you do it.

And l mean this with all sincerity.

Maybe that`s because you don`t feel

as strong about your girl as l do mine.

There`s your orders, Major.

See you on the plane.

Okay.

We`re coming in, Major.

-There`s the inland sea. Beautiful, ain`t it?

-Yeah.

Boy, it sure is nice scenery out there.

That`s Kobe over there.

You see it, with all the docks?

You know, what you`re looking at

really is three cities running together.

There`s Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto.

-They got kabuki there.

-What`s kabuki?

You never heard of kabuki theater?

-No.

-All men, no dames.

-That`s going to be dull, isn`t it?

-l don`t know.

lf it`s all dames you want,

l think we`re going to get there in about....

Yep. Look down there.

See that little park with the little lakes

around it? That`s Matsubayashi.

-Where?

-Right down there.

-You see it?

-Yeah.

The Matsubayashi girls

are the most famous girls in Japan.

You know, they sing, they dance,

they act all the parts, no men.

Katsumi knows all the actresses.

She`s a movie fan or something.

Listen, you`re just blowing your top

about seeing Katsumi, aren`t you?

-Carrying on.

-She`s my girl, Major.

-Well, G.G., good to see you.

-So long, Lloyd.

-Lots of luck to you.

-Good enough. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Lloyd, here we are!

-Come on.

-Hey, there!

-Don`t forget to act surprised.

-Yeah.

Hi, there! Hot dog!

Won`t he be surprised!

-Major?

-Yeah.

How about being my best man?

Now, listen, Kelly,

l told you that l`m against this marriage.
