  • Charlie Kawamura: She's not your type.
  • Jack McGurn: Oh, is she your girlfriend or something?
  • Charlie Kawamura: No, no, no. Just a girl.
  • Jack McGurn: Just a girl? She's beautiful.
  • Charlie Kawamura: She's my sister.
  • Jack McGurn: You told me your sister had a face like a plate of steamed dumplings.
  • Charlie Kawamura: You should see her without makeup.
  • Jack McGurn: You told me she was 4 feet tall and squat.
  • Charlie Kawamura: Hey, I've got lots of sisters.
  • Jack McGurn: Um, hi. I'm Jack. I work with your brother Charlie. Are you Dulcie?
  • Charlie Kawamura: Lily. Dulcie's my other sister.
  • Jack McGurn: Hi, Lily.
  • [shakes her hand]
  • Lily Yuriko Kawamura: [smiles] Hello.
  • Jack McGurn: We were just wondering if you would like to join us for lunch.
  • Charlie Kawamura: HE was wondering.
  • Lily Yuriko Kawamura: [speaking to Charlie in Japanese] What?
  • Charlie Kawamura: [in Japanese] Don't come with us.
  • [to Jack, in English]
  • Charlie Kawamura: Look, I'm in a hurry. She's busy. Let's go.

  • [smiles]
  • Jack McGurn: [after entering a local restaurant] So what are we going to order?
  • [grabs menu]
  • Jack McGurn: Can you read that?
  • Jack McGurn: Yeah. My Japanese is getting better every day.
  • Lily Yuriko Kawamura: Actually, it's in Chinese. It might help you if you turn your menu up the other way.
  • Jack McGurn: [smiles] Maybe YOU oughta order, I guess.
  • Jack McGurn: I agree to hand out a bundle of leaflets, and you act as if I'm going out to kill someone.

  • Eddie: You people caused quite a stir.
  • Jack McGurn: It was a legal demonstration, sir. Perfectly within the Constitution.
  • Eddie: Well, all that striking stuff is over now, mister. When Japs step on the beach, you think they'll take any notice of your banners? They'll stick a bayonet in your belly, grievance or no grievance. This is America, pal, so remember you're an American. We're at war now.
  • Jack McGurn: What are you talking about?
  • Eddie: Ain't you heard? The Japs just bombed Pearl Harbor.
