Lawrence Bourne III: I need to have a talk with you; sort of a little father-son chat. Lawrence Bourne Jr: Have we ever done this before? Lawrence Bourne III: No, we're breaking you in. Dad, I need $28,000; it's the matter of a little gambling debt. I can assure you it will never happen again. Lawrence Bourne Jr: Well, I must say it doesn't surprise me. You have been a constant disappointment to your mother and me ever since the day we brought you home from the orphanage. Lawrence Bourne III: Stop it, Dad. You know I'm not adopted. Lawrence Bourne Jr: [Puts his head in his hands] I know, but please; just allow me this little fantasy.

[Tuttle is lecturing the villagers] At Toon: Asshole! Tom Tuttle: What! who called me an asshole? Lawrence Bourne III: I don't know, but it should have been me. At Toon: It was me. You are an asshole, man. Tom Tuttle: [Laughing] You speak English? Lawrence Bourne III: Either that or he's an incredible mimic. At Toon: You bet, Ace. I am At Toon, the sharpest thing this village has ever seen. I spend two years in American school in Bangkok. Big deal, I rather be here.

Lawrence Bourne III: Just a minute, stewardess! Tammy: Yes? Lawrence Bourne III: Could you get the pilot to send a telegram for me? [Writes down message] Lawrence Bourne III: 'Dear Dad. Have made terrible mistake and joined the Peace Corps. Please arrange to have me brought home at once. Your loving son, blah, blah, blah Lawrence'. Tammy: Are you sure? Lawrence Bourne III: Do I look like I'm associated with this hootenanny? And when you come back, bring me something with alcohol in it.

Lawrence Bourne III: Well, look at the time. We've been talking for over ten hours. You know, Beth; we'll be awfully busy once we get to Loon Ta.

There, there must be some mistake! Tom Tuttle: Hey, Larry, you going to Loon Ta? So am I. Lawrence Bourne III: Wait a minute, don't tell me he's going too!
