to give you some presents.
Okay. Now, look.
I have taken these cartridge shells
and I have made a knife of each one.
Okay.
Now, I'm sorry, but I have to keep one
for myself. Okay?
Duane, you're first.
Right.
Phisit.
Left or right?
Y.C.
Easy money, pal.
Gene.
- Procet, it is yours. Okay.
- I don't care about the knife.
This is for Crazy Horse.
No, no, no. Crazy Horse is mine.
My Crazy Horse. Mine.
Now listen, we must collect the rice
and hide it.
But we must dry it because it rots
too quickly if we don't dry it, okay?
What? Hide it? You wanna hide it?
- Yeah, yeah.
- We can eat it now.
- No, no.
- We eat it now.
Look, look, look, I've created
a secret compartment here for the rice.
It is at the bottom of my crap container.
So I don't think the guards
- are gonna want to check that.
- Crazy. This is...
Why are you hiding it now?
For our escape.
You have a plan.
DIETER:
Yes.Now, have you noticed
that the guards when they are called
to the kitchen hut for chow time,
they always leave
their rifles behind, always?
So we have a few minutes
before they return for their rifles.
We go out through the hut,
we grab their guns,
- we surprise them.
- No.
- And we surprise... We surprise them...
- Crazy.
...and we surround them, okay?
Then we take the guards as prisoners.
We take over the camp.
Think about it, okay?
We hold it down for a few days
until we can signal our aircraft
to pick us up.
(SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
- Dieter, quick.
- Okay.
They'll call mess any second.
Quick, quick.
- Who's in the kitchen?
- I see four.
The cook, Little Hitler and Nook the Rook
and somebody I've never seen before.
He looks like a villager.
- DUANE:
What about the rifles?- Okay, rifles.
Little Hitler's rifle
and Nook's rifle in Hut A.
And, okay, Crazy Horse
going towards Hut B
with his submachine gun. Okay.
There's somebody else coming up
over the hillside.
- DUANE:
Who?- I can't make him out,
but he has a machete. Okay.
Oh, sh*t.
Nook the Rook is coming back
with his food.
Quick. Quick.
Hooks in now. Hide the nail. Hide the nail.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Close it.
GENE:
Nice, because we all happen to be...(ALL SINGING) Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
- DIETER:
Hey, Duane.- What?
Okay. Your turn.
- What, my turn?
- DIETER:
Yeah.- Stack it up.
- Oh, all right. You ready?
- Bottom shelf, raspberry pie.
- Okay.
The way my mom makes it
with the crust as thick as a steak.
- Yeah.
- And on top shelf is a turkey.
I'm not talking Thanksgiving big.
I'm talking, you know, an obscene,
enormous, like, 35-pound turkey
with breasts the size of Jayne Mansfield's.
You know what I mean?
You've got gravy, stuffing,
six-pack of Budweiser...
No, no, no, no.
No, I prefer the Bavarian stein. You know?
With a quarter of a gallon
and it's dark and it's cool
and you get the foam lapping up
- and coming over the side.
- Yeah. Okay.
- It's so cool you get the mist on the side...
- All right, that's in your fridge.
- This is my fridge. Right?
- Okay.
- I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Yeah. It's okay.
- Muffins.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Okay, oranges, couple of dozen eggs.
- All right.
- And, oh, a pile... A huge pile of pancakes
- with tons of syrup, I mean, just soaked.
- Okay. Go ahead.
- You stack the fridge. Go ahead.
- DIETER:
Okay.- It's my turn.
- DIETER:
Noodles and Spam, okay.No, okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead.
- It's your turn. You go.
- Right.
- Some cake.
- Yeah.
See, you ruined it.
Why you always got to interrupt me?
(CHUCKLING)
God.
DIETER:
Okay, rifle one and rifle twoin Hut A.
Submachine gun in Hut B
and another rifle in Hut C.
- DUANE:
That's new. Are you sure?- DIETER:
Affirmative.And in the kitchen
we have Nook the Rook,
Crazy Horse and Jumbo arriving.
Jumbo's gun?
- DUANE:
Jumbo's gun?- DIETER:
Duane.(COCKING GUN)
- DUANE:
What?- DIETER:
Duane.DUANE:
It's just a game.It's just a game.
I won.
Phisit.
Hold this side up.
Come on.
Do you see it?
DUANE:
No.- I see it.
- Yeah, that's because you dug it.
You did a good job, trust me.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
DIETER:
(WHISPERING)I've seen clouds, okay?
When does the monsoon start?
I don't know.
Could be another two weeks.
- No, no, no, no.
- Or a month.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Maybe five days.
- Okay. No.
We need to set a start date
because the guards, you know,
they are starving as well.
And they are getting
meaner and meaner, so...
I don't care about anything else.
Your plan, I don't care.
- You can stay behind...
- Listen to me.
- ... if you want.
- Listen to me now.
- How about that?
- Listen...
Dieter, I'm on board.
I'd rather be dead out there
than rotting away in here.
Okay, buddy. Okay.
Y.C., are you on board?
I guess so.
- Okay. Procet?
- I am out.
- You are out of the plan?
- I am. No, no, I want to get out.
You're coming with us out.
Great. Okay, Phisit?
(CHUCKLES)
That's a yes. So...
So,
it is settled then.
Okay.
July the 4th.
July the 4th.
No matter what.
Okay.
(SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
We had this two years ago
when it was really bad.
- DIETER:
How can it get any worse?- Really bad.
You don't ask, you just eat.
You just smile, smile and eat.
Duane, Duane, Duane.
- Come on.
- No.
You got to try. It's protein.
Protein's not gonna kill you.
Just try.
Hey.
I am going to eat my rice.
- I'm gonna eat my rice.
- DIETER:
No, you are not.GENE:
I'm gonna eat that rice.I'm gonna eat that rice
because it is my rice.
- You are not.
- GENE:
I will eat my rice.We're not gonna eat that rice.
GENE:
My rice.That is not your rice. That is our rice.
- Okay.
- GENE:
Oh, I see.And I tell you what.
I'm not gonna let you out of
your handcuffs tonight, okay?
Because I still have the key.
Oh, I see. I see.
Let me see if I have this right.
You're the warden himself now.
Is that right? Is that right?
Do I have that right?
Okay?
- DUANE:
Dieter.- No.
- Dieter.
- No.
(PASSES WIND)
Oh, God.
Come on, Dieter, open the cuffs.
No.
You, you are on my list right
after Crazy Horse.
Cut that crap, you know?
Because I will do you in two seconds flat.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey, hey. You are on my list.
On my list.
That's right.
(PASSING WIND)
No food.
Go away, there's no food today.
No food.
Dieter.
- You should apologize.
- Okay.
I was just making a point.
DUANE:
You should apologize to Gene.You are not gonna keep me prisoner.
I said you are not gonna keep me prisoner.
Oh, and you are not the one
that I'm afraid of, okay,
because the man who will frighten me
has to be born yet.
- Come on, apologize.
- Okay?
(SIGHS)
Okay.
Gene, I apologize.
Gene.
Gene.
Hey, I'm really sorry.
Okay?
