WE NEED, UM,
CONTINENTAL FLAVOR.

[ Speaker At Party ]
HEY, WHITE BOY !

READY FOR THE NEXT LESSON ?

LOOK. IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

FOR MUCH OF THE WORLD,
A BOWL OF RICE MEANS MORE
THAN THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

AND IF YOU CAN'T FEED THEM,
DON'T PREACH DEMOCRACY
TO THEM.

YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY ?

OH, NO, NO, IT'LL MAKE
GOOD COPY, BUT YOU'RE JUST
TALKING IN SLOGANS.

ARE WE GOING TO DISCUSS
THE WAY I SPEAK...

OR WHETHER MILLIONS
LIVE OR DIE ?
ALL RIGHT.

THE POINT IS WE'RE DOING
BOTH IN VIETNAM--

WE'RE FEEDING THE PEOPLE
AND WE'RE HELPING THEM ESTABLISH
A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

NOW YOU SOUND LIKE THE
STATE DEPARTMENT TRYING
TO JUSTIFY A RACIST WAR.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
THIS WAR IS WAGED
AGAINST ASIANS, REMEMBER ?

YOU DON'T SEE US FIGHTING
IN POLAND OR CZECHOSLOVAKIA,
DO YOU ?

I WISH WE DID. AMERICA
IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT
CAN STAND UP TO THE RUSSIANS.

THAT'S WHY MY FOLKS
CAME HERE.

SO YOU'RE IMMIGRANTS.

WELL, SO ARE WE.

ALL THAT BULLSHIT...

ABOUT THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
WHEN WE GOT HERE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

THE NAME IS SZABO.

COME ON IN.

I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW, THAT PAPER
REALLY GRABBED MY ATTENTION

"THE PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY
OFFERS A GENUINE ALTERNATIVE."

WHY, MY EYES JUST GALLOPED
THROUGH THE PAGES
IN EAGER ANTICIPATION...

OF THAT CRITICAL ANALYSIS...

WHICH IS THE FUNDAMENTAL TOOL
OF OUR DISCIPLINE.

I FOUND SLOGANS INSTEAD.

NO EVALUATION,
JUST SLOGANS.

OH, I'D ALREADY FLUNKED YOU
FOR FAILING TO ABSORB THE BASIC
PRINCIPLES OF THIS CLASS.

THEN...

I FOUND THESE
AT SATHER GATE.

PLAGIARY IS THE THEFT
OF IDEAS, SZABO.

IF I HAD MY WAY,
I'D HAVE YOU INCARCERATED.

BUT I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.
ADMINISTRATORS DO.

OFFICIAL NOTICE OF SUSPENSION...

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR SENSES ?

SHOUTING LIKE THIS.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED
OF YOURSELF.

ALL HE CAN THINK ABOUT
IS HIS GODDAMN BUSINESS.

WHY DO YOU TAKE IT ?
YOU'RE TOO HARD ON HIM,
YOU KNOW ?

WE DISAGREE ABOUT POLITICS.
THAT'S ALL.
SO YOU'RE GONNA
STICK WITH HIM ?

YEAH. I GOTTA
HELP HIM OUT.

WELL, IF THAT'S
YOUR THING.

FRIDAY I'M GOING IN
FOR MY PHYSICAL.

GOD. YOU ARE
OUT OF YOUR MIND.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
GONNA RISK YOUR LIFE FOR ?

LOOK, IT BEATS THE HELL
OUT OF BUSSING TABLES
AND SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES.

I'M RUNNING A BUSINESS.

IT'S RUNNING LIKE CLOCKWORK.
I'M MAKING A LOT OF MONEY.

WELL, I'M GONNA
PUT MYSELF ON THE LINE.

[ Peter ] ATTA BOY !
[ Zsuzsa ]
OH, I'M SO GLAD !

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

[ Zoltan ]
WHAT HAPPENED ?

WELL, I STOOD THERE
IN THAT LINE,

AND I KNEW IF THEY TOOK ME
THAT I WOULDN'T COME BACK ALIVE,

SO I TOLD THEM I WAS GAY.

OH, THAT'S GREAT.
THAT'S GREAT.

[ Peter ]
WAY TO GO.

WHAT ?

WHAT HAPPENED ?

[ Peter ]
HE TOLD THEM THAT
HE WAS A HOMOSEXUAL.

MY SON TOLD AN AMERICAN OFFICER
HE WAS QUEER...

TO GET OUT OF THE DRAFT ?

[ Sandy ]
I JUST TOLD THEM THE TRUTH.

DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME.

[ Peter ]
HE'S NOT.

THEN GET OUT OF HERE.

AND DON'T YOU COME BACK.

[ Bottle Shatters ]

WHY DID YOU DO THAT ?

IT'S DISGUSTING.

I KNOW IT COMES AS A SHOCK,
BUT, POPS,

SANDY'S BEEN STRUGGLING
WITH THIS THING FOR MONTHS.

HE COULDN'T ADMIT IT
TO ANYBODY.

THERE IS NO ROOM HERE
FOR SUCH FILTH.
LOOK,

HE FINALLY GOT UP
THE COURAGE TO TELL YOU...

AND THE WHOLE WORLD.

JUST LISTEN TO HIM, OKAY ?

[ Breathes Deeply ]

ALL MY LIFE,
I'VE STRUGGLED...

TO LIVE DECENT LIFE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

THAT'S WHY I WORK
THE WAY I DO.

NOBODY'S GONNA
TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

NOT SANYI,

NOT YOU-- NOBODY.

YOU CAN'T
JUST THROW HIM OUT.

WE'RE YOUR FLESH AND BLOOD.

NOW, COME ON.

WHERE'S THAT
GREAT HUNGARIAN HEART, HUH ?

THIS IS NOT THE MAN
WHO WAS OUR FATHER.

[ Sniffles ]
GET OUT.

GET OUT.

I'M OKAY.

BUT, GOD, VERA,

HOW CAN YOU DO COUNTRY WESTERN
AFTER ALL THOSE ROCK CONCERTS
I TOOK YOU TO ?

[ Sighs ]
DIFFERENT STROKES
FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.

[ Vera ]

I'M GOING OUT WITH HIM.

HE'S KIND OF CUTE.

MAYBE I'LL CHECK HIM OUT.
