Haole (2019) - full transcript

- The Iwa bird is amazing.

It can fly around the
world without landing.

It goes through clouds and
travels through air streams.

It can even fly when it's sleeping;

high above the world, feeling the wind,

spreading its wings,

never landing, going anywhere,

soaring

free.

Yeah, like one month ago.

- It's on my list, okay?
- It's on what list?



Do chore stuff around here first.

- Well there's
nothin' else I can do.

- You know what?
- How am I supposed

to fend for myself if we
don't help each other, huh?

- We got nobody else to rely on.

- No, I told you that
we needed that fence up

because I'm sick and
tired of having that dog.

- Fucking haoles.

First they knocked down his house,

then they put this crap up.

I would never let someone

take my house like Uncle Pinok did.

- It wasn't his fault, the bank took it.

Pinok,



do you remember when he
taught us how to throw net?

How old were we, five?

- Yeah, long time ago.

He left with his boat
and the stupid magazines.

- You talk like he's dead.

You ready for Friday?

- We take your boat

out to the island and find the bird.

- Storm season, that's
when they'll be there.

You told you stepdad you're going, right?

- I still gotta ask.

All I know is storm season's almost over.

We gotta go soon.

- Okay, so we're gonna continue

what we practiced last week, Monday.

Hey.

And continue to do this
- the spelling words

and the vocabulary words that
we started studying last week.

Okay, you can sit in that there.

Class, can I get your attention please?

We are gonna welcome a new student.

His name is Jonah Morris.

He's our new student.

Can everybody welcome him please?

- Hi.

- Hey, haole.

- Mr. Apo, go to the
principal's office right now!

- Every time me.

I might as well just go school
in the principal's office.

- Now!

Okay, class where were we again?

The spelling words and the
vocabulary words that we said.

- And so we drove towards Florida

and my grandparents lived in the villages

which is like in the middle of Florida.

- Man, fuck that haole.

He got me in trouble.

- You kinda started it.

- Leave him alone, Kai!

- Shut up.

C'mon, let's scrap.

- I don't want trouble.

- Pussy.

- Motherfucker.
- C'mon.

- Lemme go!
- Let's get outta here, Kai.

- I'll fuckin' kill him.

- Kai!

- You shouldn't have grabbed me.

- The security was coming.

Do you really wanna get suspended again?

Your stepdad would lose it.

- Fuck him.

I don't need nobody.

- Get your fuckin' ass inside!

- Come have dinner at my house.

- Can I eat something else?

- No.

Eat.

- I work hard to put food on the table.

You eat.

- You and those birds.

- You think you're tired
of hearing about Iwa birds?

I gotta listen to it all day.

- Oh, come on.

They're so cool.

Did you know the Iwa bird can
fly months without landing?

They go through clouds and
travel through air streams.

People don't think the Iwa
bird lands in Kapapa Island.

I'll take a picture and prove

they land there during storm season,

just like Uncle Pinok always said.

If I find one, I know
I'll win the scholarship

and get to travel everywhere in the world.

- Stop talking already and eat.

Man, Uncle Pinok had to
teach you about those birds.

Well now look at him.

Hey, have you checked if the
motor on Pinok's old boat runs?

It's been out there over a year already.

- We're gonna check tomorrow after school.

- Hi.

We just popped
by to introduce ourselves.

I'm Carl, this is my son, Jonah.

We're from Phoenix and
new to the neighborhood.

Say hi, Jonah.

- Hello.

- Well anyway, we thought
it'd be a good idea

to get to know the neighbors

and

beautiful, it's just
really beautiful here.

It's good to meet you.

C'mon.

- Never take anything from
people like that for free.

- Why?

- Because to them, nothing is free.

Uncle Rudy, Paul,

Kelly,

Auntie Pearl, Pinok,

our whole family used to
have a house down this side.

Now only us.

It's getting so goddamn expensive.

- You helped Uncle Pinok for how long?

You gave him money, even a place to stay.

Don't feel bad.

- When your dad coming home?

- My mom said any day now.

Thanks for dinner, auntie and uncle.

- Can I just eat half?

I don't like pork and beans.

Hello?

I'm talking.

- How many times I told you

stop complaining about the food?

- I don't like it.

- Dad says times is hard.

I can't wait to get out of here.

- I wish I could go.

- One day, I'm gonna travel the world.

I'm gonna go to New Zealand, Africa.

I'll find a place for us to live.

- Promise?

- I promise.

- Can I sleep with you?

- Yeah.

- Could you tell
me about the Iwa again?

- You're the only one that wants to hear.

Well the Iwa or the great
frigate has a hook-shaped bill

and wings shaped like a boomerang.

- Why is it called Iwa?

- Well the Iwa means thief in Hawaiian.

And when the Iwa feeds,

they steal the fish of the smaller birds.

Sometimes they shake the bird so hard

that it regurgitates in mid-air,

then they eat what it spit ups.

- That's gross, eww.

- Let's go to sleep.

- What, they fired you?

What you did?

- I told you laid off, not fired

and I never do nothing!

- That's your problem,
you always do nothing.

I told you to leave that
job and take the other one.

- I know!

- And what did you tell me?

You gave them your word.

That's not how the world works anymore.

Your word's not gonna
help us keep this house.

This is making me so sick!

- I told you, I get one plan.

I'm gonna sell the truck.

I'm gonna sell Pinok's boat!

- That thing is not worth shit!

- I've already get
one guy offering three grand!

He gon' come by Monday
with the cash, he said!

- You better take 'em.

- I will.

- You better.

- I said, I will!

- My dad's selling the boat on Monday.

We have to go out this weekend.

- I asked my stepdad.

He said, no.

He said they're gonna kill
me if I miss practice.

- Then I'm going out by myself.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

I need this.

I need this more than anything.

Let's go
buy some batteries then.

- Fly, fly, fly, fly,

fly, fly, fly, fly.

Fly.

- Let's go to another store.

- Next one's too far away.

- Fly, fly.

- Watch this.
- Don't.

- He's crazy.

Watch.

- Fly, fly.

Hey, hey, give it back.

- Here, Mango Man.

- Don't call him that.

Give it back!

Give it back.

- C'mon.

Stop it, man.
- Give it back!

- Stop that!

Come inside, buy something or go home.

- Why do you let him stay out here?

How come you don't call
the police or something?

Go.

- You know, burn in hell.

- This look like heaven to you?

I hate that crazy stink fuck up.

- Come on, that's not
cool and you know it.

- He's weak.

I'm not gonna turn weak like him.

- Are you okay?

- My stepdad.

- Why, what happened?

- He got mad.

I got lickings from a haole.

- How bad?
- Bad.

Ooh, friggin' expensive.

- We need them for the
flashlights just in case.

- $15.

- What?

That's crazy.

- You no like it, you go.

- Fine!

Damn.

Let's bounce.

I'm gonna kick his fuckin' ass.

He's lucky he not out here.

Haole.

- What'd you say?

- Haole.

- C'mon, we're gonna be late.

Just leave him alone.

Haole.

Haole.

Haole.

- Okay so next Monday,

we'll be having our test on colonization

all the way up to the
overthrow of the queen.

So can anyone tell me what year James Cook

discovered the Hawaiian Islands?

Yes, Jonah.

- 1778.

- Excellent, Jonah.

Okay and over the next 100 years,

what percentage of the Native Hawaiians

were wiped off the face of the earth?

- I'm not sure.

Like 3/4?

- Close.

Like 90 %.

- You bitches!

- Mr. Apo, you need to report

to the principal's office right now!

We're gonna meet with your parents

and I'll be notifying them after school!

- Fuck you, you Jap bitch!

- What are we gonna do?

We got to be out there today.

- We need another boat or another engine.

- Thanks for coming.

I know how hard it must've been.

- Fuck my stepdad.

Fuck.

Watch what my dad does to him
when he gets out of prison.

My mom said any day now he should be out.

- I appreciate it.

- Look, you'd do the same for me.

- You know who does
have an outboard engine?

- The haole?

What, like steal 'em?

- No, I mean I can ask.

- You could ask anybody.

- Who am I gonna ask?

Hardly anybody has a boat out
here and it's too expensive.

Plus.

- Plus what?

- He did pay for our batteries.

- So?

- So that means he wants to be friends.

- Maybe.

- Are you mad?

- Why everybody always think I'm mad for?

- Because you're always mad.

- Ask him.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah 'cause then after
we're done using it,

I can kick his ass.

- What do you need it for?

- Well me and my friend

were gonna take our boat
out to Kapapa Island.

We were gonna camp there tonight.

- I don't know.

My dad might get mad if I let you take it.

- No, that's fine.

I understand.

- Let's go inside.

I'm looking for my binoculars.

They got lost in the move.

Why are you guys going to the island?

- Well me and my friend
are looking for this bird.

- Oh yeah?

What kinda bird?

- The Iwa bird.

- You mean the great frigate bird?

- Yeah, you know what that is?

- Definitely.

It has a seven-foot wingspan.

It flies in cumulus clouds.

- Yeah, it flies through turbulence

and can even fly when it's sleeping.

It's so cool.

- Yeah, it's pretty much
the coolest bird ever.

I learned about it when my family

and I went on vacation
to the Galapagos Islands.

- You went to the Galapagos Islands?

- Yup, it's so cool.

There's like 60 different
types of birds there.

- Yeah and most of them
can only be found there.

- Yup.

I have pictures, wanna see?

- Well I kinda gotta find another engine.

- Oh.

- I guess I'll see you around.

- Hey.

- Yeah?

- The aloha spirit.

- What about it?

- My parents blabbed about
it for weeks before we moved.

It would be hypocritical for them to mind.

- Are you serious?

Thanks, man.

Really.

I'm gonna go run home
and grab my hand truck.

- Can I come?

- Your parents won't mind?

- My parents don't care.

I sleep over at friend's
houses all the time.

I'll just leave 'em a note.

What's your name again?

- You know my friend is coming, right?

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, my friend you
kinda got in a fight with.

- I don't mind.

I wanna apologize to him
for whatever it was I did.

Ever kneeboard?

Let's take it I'll teach you.

No hard feelings?

- We gotta go.

We're losing light and tide's dropping.

Look, reef's sticking up.

- Can I drive?

- I'm driving.

- When have you ever drove a boat before?

- My dad showed me.

- Your dad's been gone
for like five years.

His dad's in prison.

- Besides, like when haole gonna know

the reefs of Kanoi Bay?

- There's no reception out here.

Do you guys have your phones?

- Not all of us are rich like you.

We don't have phones.

- My parents are gonna be pissed.

I totally forgot to leave a note.

- Can take you back.

- No, I'll be okay.

Maybe reception will be
better on the island.

- Look.

- Wow, that is ghetto.

Here, lemme take pics on my
phone then email them to you.

The resolution is like 20 times as good.

I mean you guys do have email, right?

- Yeah, we have email.

- I mean you guys don't like
still talk to each other

with coconuts attached to
a string, right?

- I'd like to see your phone.

I wanna take pictures.

- You crazy?

- Sorry, accident.

- Come on, man.

That wasn't cool.

- Whose back do you have?

- You need to take me back now.

- What you mean?

We're getting close.

- Stop the boat

now.

Take me back now!

- Stop the boat!

- Why?

- Just stop it.

Listen, I've been planning
this trip for over a month now.

I need to get what I need and
turn it in by Sunday morning.

- What is this all for anyway?

- A contest, a chance to go on a trip

with a bunch of other kids.

We get to go to places and study the Iwa.

We get to go to the Galapagos too.

I read about it in the
magazine my uncle gave me.

I have a picture of the
application, do you wanna see?

- Why do you have a picture of it?

- I read it every once a while

to make sure I'm doing everything right.

- My parents are gonna flip
out and he owes me a phone.

- We'll get you a phone.

- How the hell are you
gonna get me a phone

when you two can't even
get a phone for yourselves?

- Guys, come on.

Stop it.

You guys have all next
week to kill each other.

Are we good?

- Okay, but we need to
go back early tomorrow.

- Deal.

Let's go to the backside of the island

and look for the bird before the sun sets.

We can set up the tent and stuff later.

- You guys go, I'll set 'em up.

- No, c'mon.

- Poke it, break it.

- Holy freakin' hot.

Look they're wearing G-string.

- That's a thong.

- Shut up.

Why are we not studying that
instead of some stupid birds?

- Hey, let's go.

- You ever put inside?

- Shoot, yes.

My babysitter back at home.

It was lit.

- Oh whatever.

Probably don't even have
hair on your nuts yet

and you're tellin' me you put inside.

- What about you?

Not yet, but I'll put my

in both of those right now.

Hey look, she heard me.

Yeah baby, faster.

Yeah baby, faster.

- Why are some people like that?

Storm's probably comin' soon.

We should try
and check the rocks again,

but I don't know.

I don't feel like great frigates
come to this tiny island.

It's too close to shore.

If Uncle Pinok
said might have, might have.

That guy used to tell you
when the rain going start

and the rain going stop
within five seconds.

Now all he can talk is nonsense.

- Don't say that.

- Can you do a rain dance too?

This place is so backwards.

- Then go home, haole.

- It's not like I wanted to move here.

If I could go home, believe me I would.

- So, what's Phoenix like?

- Dry, busy.

It almost never rains.

Basically the opposite of this.

- You ever been Disneyland?

- Disneyland's in California.

- I know.

- Disneyland, Universal, Knott's Berry,

Six Flags, tons of times.

You guys haven't been?

- I went Maui once for football.

- I haven't been off-island.

- So you ever see like famous people?

- All the time.

- Whoa, you know the Rock or Bruno Mars?

Yeah, they're from Hawaii.

- Bruno Mars is from Hawaii, not the Rock.

His mom is the one from Hawaii.

- Bruh, don't tell me who is

and who isn't from Hawaii.

- Whatever.

- Haole.

- What is that anyway, haole?

- Foreigner or white person.

- No, it's more than that.

It's more than that.

One haole's a person
who talk just for talk,

who likes the sound of their own voice.

One person who makes you
think the way they think,

make you live the way they live,

make you believe what they believe.

- My dad always said it's a person

without, without a soul.

- Well an asshole is someone

who throws someone's phone in the ocean.

The definition is the
same all over the world.

- Sorry about your phone.

- I gotta take a dump.

- You're cool.

Why are you friends with him?

- Well my dad always said,

"The best thing you can be in
this world is an honest man.

"Someone who's not ashamed of anything,

"who can walk around with
their head held high,

"who has no shame."

Kai's honest.

He's like my brother.

He's kind of a jerk.

- When me and Kai were kids,

his dad got arrested for stealing cars.

His mom ended up hooking
up with this asshole,

that's Kai's stepdad.

And that first New Year's,
Kai was playing around

and throwing firecrackers up in the air.

One landed on the roof,

the house caught on fire.

And after the firemen
came and put the fire out,

Kai got the beating of his life.

Then his stepdad locked
him in a tool locker,

like the same ones we have at school.

- For how long?

- Three days.

Kai, he's always saying
that him and his mom

are waiting for his dad
to come out and save them.

- But?

- Kai's dad's been out
for over a year now.

He hasn't come back and he's
probably never coming back.

- Shouldn't someone tell Kai?

- Kai already knows.

- The boat, it's gone!

- No, it's right there.

- Shit, you swim fast.

Next time don't let the
haole anchor the boat.

- What?

- An Iwa.

It just landed on the bow.

It was just looking at me.

- No way.

It's probably just an Alcatraz.

- I saw it.

- Dude, you know how rare they are?

- Shut up.

If he said he saw it, he saw it.

Maybe it's a sign.

- Yeah, maybe a voodoo
witch doctor cast a spell.

- Shut up!

It's like the worst camping trip ever.

I'll be grounded for a
month because of this.

- I'm so tired.

I think I'm gonna go to the tent

and dream about those girls we saw.

Don't come with me.

Only got room for me and my

What are you going to do?

- I'm gonna look for
the birds on the rocks.

- You got the feather already.

If you go there, you'll
just scare it away.

- I can go by myself.

No, I'll go.

- Not that way.

- Why?

- That's a heiau,
a sacred burial ground.

- Like a graveyard?
- Yeah, a long time ago.

- So who is this Uncle
Pinok you guys mentioned?

- He used to live where your house is now.

He was a kupuna, an elder.

He knew more about this
site than anyone else did.

- What happened to him?

- He got hurt at work,
construction like my dad.

Then he had bills, taxes on the house.

He tried to sell laulau on the street,

but making laulau's hard.

Then he tried selling fruit,
but it just wasn't enough.

Then the bank kicked him out of his house.

My dad let him stay with us for a bit.

But after that, he just started losing it.

Me and Kai used to go to
his house all the time

when we were kids.

My parents was always working.

- Mine too.

- People used to think that I
was his favorite or something

because I was smart, but that wasn't it.

- What was it?

- Well

after a while,

I was the only one that went to his house.

Even when he was all
angry and stressed out,

I was the only one who listened;

especially at the end

when whatever he said
didn't make any sense.

The Iwa can fly so high and so far.

Nothing can touch it.

- Yeah.

- It's fearless, it's free.

- Should we head back?

- Yeah.

Thanks for coming and putting up with him.

- No problem.

- Couldn't have done it without you.

- You're the only family I got.

Look, I caught a couple

- Whoa.

- We should cook one for breakfast.

- Where's Jonah?

- Hell if I care.

Where's the camera?

I wanna take a picture of the fish.

- Jonah has it.

- You trust him?

- I got it.

- Got what?

- A picture of the bird.

- He's lying.

- Yes.

Kai, you have to check this out.

- I'll look later.

Somebody has to clean the fish.

- I'm gonna get out of here.

Sorry, do you need help?

- Nah.

- No, it's okay.

I'll help.

You need help with scaling it?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing on my camera?

- Nothing.

Here.

- Man, you can't go through
people's old photos like that.

- My bad.

Look, we overslept.

I spent too much time

trying to get a picture of that dumb bird.

It's like close to noon.

We need to leave now.

We gotta go, you guys promised.

- Look, you're already in trouble.

You might as well enjoy it.

- No, he's right.

We should go home.

I'm kinda worried about Jenna.

- Bruh, we're gonna be gone all summer.

Jenna has to learn that

you're not always gonna be there for her.

- All summer.

We got pictures.

We even got a feather for
his supposed scholarship.

I need to go home.

- What do you mean supposed?

- You really don't know?

- Know what?

- Did you read the bottom
of the application?

Shoot, did you even read the--

- Shut up.

- What is he talking about?

- The scholarship is from like--

- Shut up!

Keep your mouth shut.

- There is no contest!

There's no scholarship.

- Shut up!

- What?

- I saw a picture of the
application on his camera.

The contest is from like two years ago.

- Is that true?

- "I read it every once in a while

"to make sure I'm doing everything right."

Good job, dummy.

- Shut up!

How come you're doing this?

- I thought that maybe if I
did better than everyone else,

if I gave them the
pictures and the feather,

if I did anything I could,
they'd let me go along.

You, you dummy!

You thought they would
just give it to you?

- Let's pack up and go.

- You guys wanna try that thing?

- No, I gotta go back.

- Man, like I said you're
in trouble already.

I gotta teach you how to be bad.

- Stop the boat.

I wanna try.

- I guess I'll have to show
you boys how it's done.

You're sure you don't wanna go next?

- Nah, you go.

- You sure now?

Because I'm rusty and
could use some lessons.

- Just get in the fucking water.

- Guys, watch this.

- You okay?

You sure?

- I hate him.

- You see now?

- Whoa!

- You're getting too close to the reef.

Seriously, go more into the channel.

- I know what I'm doing!

- What the fuck?

- Hey, relax.

- Where did he?

- Hey, haole boy!

Haole!

- What are you doing?

- We gotta get outta here.

- No, we got to find him.

- Where?

Where are we gonna find him?

- We gotta do something.

- I'm takin' us in.
- What?

No, we can't go in.

I'm gonna go look again.

What are you doing?

- We don't say nothing.

- That's stupid.

We have to tell someone.

- No.

- It was an accident.

I don't care what you
say, I'm telling them.

- So freaking stupid!

And what, we end up boys

in the jail just like my father?

In case you never know,
that was one haole with us.

Not one Japanese, no

no one Hawaiian.

One haole, rich haole.

You get the chair for somethin' like that.

You hate him anyways.

Look, you just tell them
that we checked the boat

and the motor was bust, so
we decided to camp Koloa.

- But what about the engine?

- Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

- This is so wrong, so wrong.

- Don't act good and honest now.

Why you drag us out
here in the first place?

We're gonna be okay.

- I'm not talking about
us, I'm talking about him.

- Look, you just gotta be calm.

We go in, we say nothing.

Just stick to the story.

I know what it feels like to be trapped.

You don't, I do.

- I know what it feels like.

- No, not really.

Never learn your lesson, grow up.

You're not Iwa birds.

You cannot just fly wherever you like go.

- They probably know.

- No way.

We should wait until they leave though.

- Hey.

- Shit.

- What's going on?

- We're just going house-to-house.

We're looking for our son, Jonah.

He's been missing since
yesterday afternoon.

His phone is off.

I don't suppose you've seen him.

Please tell me that you've seen our son.

- No, we just got back
from camping at Koloa.

He wasn't around here.

- I thought you
was camping at Kapapa.

- Oh, we changed our minds.

- You're Kai, right?

You're the one that
got into an altercation

with Jonah at school.

- If altercation means
scrap then yeah, we did.

And even if I did see him,

I wouldn't wanna hang out with him.

- We're missin' a few
things from the garage

and one is an outboard motor.

- Got plenty crazy this side.

They steal whatever.

They sell 'em for rocks and stuff.

You should lock your stuff up.

- I think these boys know
more than they're tellin'.

- Don't call my brother a liar.

- Jenna, go to your room.

- We should go.

We can do this later.

- Hey, I know you're
scared about your boy.

You be careful who you're accusing.

- If it was your boy, would
you worry about crossin' lines?

- Get outta my house.

Go sit down both of you.

- Meet me at the bridge later.

- When?
- Sundown.

- You boys being straight?

- Yes, uncle.
- Because I'm telling you

right now, I'm not
putting up with any lying.

If you're bad, you own it!

- We're being honest, uncle.

- Don't be full of shit.

- We know, uncle.

- Don't bullshit me, boy.

- Yes, uncle.

We know.

- Okay.

Hey, where are you going?

So what happened to the boat?

- Nothing.

Hold on.

- Hey, open the door.

I said open the freakin' door!

David, get out now!

We're not done yet!

You better open this fucking door!

Open the fuckin' door!

Open the door!

- No.

- Why are you
guys messing with him?

He doesn't bother anybody.

- Stay back.

- What are you looking for?

He's harmless.

- Stay back!
- All you can burn in hell.

All of you haoles

will burn in hell.
- Uncle, uncle!

- Are you related to him?

- No!

I mean, yes.

I used to be.

No!

- Just stay back.

- No, Pinok!

Pinok.

Pinok.

- You know his name.

- No, he's Mango Man.

I mean, he's Pinok.

Pinok, you know, he's my uncle.

He didn't do anything.

- Stay back.
- He didn't do anything.

- Stay back.

He didn't do anything.

- All of this.

All this because of that stupid
kid egging me on like that,

making like he the man.

Stupid haole.

I knew you wouldn't tell.

I know you not one rat.

Wasn't my fault.

- You put his shirt in his cart.

- The boat is his boat.

His name is under the registration, right?

The haoles took his house.

They took his ina.

No one has more reason to
hate the haoles than him.

- Gosh, can you at least say his name?

- No.

You know, these fucking haoles

they come from all over the place.

Buy land, fix houses, walk
around like they own the place;

like it's their home,

like they're the natives
and we the guests.

- You know, I wasn't gonna say
anything, but now I have to.

How could you just do that to uncle?

- That's not him.

The haoles killed Pinok.

That's Mango Man.

- It's wrong.

- Wrong?

Look at him.

He lost his house.

People like your dad tried to help him,

but he kept getting worse.

If I had that much help,
I'll be on top of the world.

But him, Pinok,

even with all that help,

he couldn't man-up 'cause he's weak.

- That's the most haole
thing you've ever said.

- Bruh, grow up!

You're in your dreams just like Pinok.

Neither of you could see
the real world anymore.

- Don't even act like I'm
the only one dreaming.

Where's your dad, Kai?

I know he's been out

and I know that he doesn't wanna see you.

- Take that back!

- And Jonah, he was just a kid.

Just a kid like us.

- Shut up!

- And that's Pinok,

the same guy that taught
us how to throw net,

the same guy that taught us how to dive

when you dad was out
fighting and stealing.

- Don't say that!

- Who doesn't have a breath, Kai?

Who doesn't have a soul?

Is it Pinok?

Is it the white people,

or is it you?

- C'mon, let's go!

Fuck 'em!

Fuck 'em all!

No matter how many houses they buy,

I'm never leavin' this island!

We're not birds, dummy.

We cannot just fly wherever we'd like go.

You like to be like them, right?

The haoles.

Then fuck the truth, do what they do!

Lie, you fucker!

Lie!

Lie like them, you hear me?

Lie like them.

Fuck 'em.

Fuck 'em all!

You hear me?

Fuck 'em all.

- I've been there and there and there.

I've been to Europe on
my way to Desert Storm.

I ever tell you about that, boy?

London.

- Really?

How was it?

- It was cold, it was gray.

Freakin' sunshine for maybe
two hours a day, if that.

The buildings was old.

I mean, not beautiful old
like in the pictures, but old.

When you see old in person,
nothing can hide it from you.

I thought I knew I was
supposed to like it, but

I hated it.

- How long were you there?

- Two days.

You better tell me what happened, boy.

And no bullshit.

- It was all our fault.

We took the boat out.

It was an accident.

I should told them what happened.

I had so many times to tell them

and now Uncle Pinok.

- I heard.

- He's gonna go to jail
for something we did.

- Stop fucking crying.

Stop fucking crying!

That's it, you be a man.

You be a man.

- I have to tell them.

- You ain't telling them shit.

- But--
- No, I don't wanna hear it.

Pinok was one friend, one good friend.

But do you think I'm gonna let
you get yourself in trouble?

You're my son.

My son.

It's done.

You live with it, you eat it.

This is our house, this is our family.

Do you understand?

It can be, boy.

- Are you gonna help me feed them?

- I can't.

Today, I'm busy.

- Please?

Where are you going?

- If you can't take care of
them yourself, let 'em go.

That Iwa bird is amazing.

It can fly around the
world without landing.

It goes through clouds and
travels through air streams

high above the world,

feeling the wind,

spreading its wings,

never landing,

going anywhere,

soaring

free.
