Duke: Honey, draw my bath! Honey: Yes, sir. You won't be expecting me to sponge you, will you sir? I don't think that would be appropriate! Duke: Get a grip, willya, Honey? Sovereignty? What's that got to do with it? We're an occupying force, for god's sake! Give him 24 hours to shape up or we'll deport him! Well, that's that, Honey! Another solomonic decision! Am I cut out for this line of work or what? Honey: I don't know sir. I'm too close to you to tell. Duke: Take my word for it, Honey. I just have a special flair for dealing with recalcitrant third world types! I proved it in Samoa. I proved it again in China. When it comes to representing my country's interests in primitive societies, I am simply without peer! Why? I dunno. I guess it's a Graham Greene kind of thing, being the point man for civilization. The white-linen life is in my blood-it's my destiny! Man: Excuse me, sir. Can we cut the looter down yet? Duke: No, leave him up for rush hour. God, I love it here! Honey: You do seem to have made yourself at home, sir.
