Man in in fine linen slacks and pith helemt: Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for seeing us. This is my pilot and Vice President, Capt. Yossarian, USAAF, retired. White Rajah of Sarawak: Capt. Yossarian, retired? Such a young man? Hirsute man: <courtseys> It's a long story, Your Majesty. It wasn't so much a retirement, more of a killed in action. White Rajah of Sarawak: Ah, surely then, you must be feeling better? Now, what is your propostion Mr. Minderbinder? Man in in fine linen slacks and pith helemt: It's Sarawk Your Majesty, you musn't allow it to fall to the Australians. White Rajah of Sarawak: But they are our Allies? And we will be rid of the Little Yellow Baaahstards? Man in in fine linen slacks and pith helemt: Well, Your Majesty, it seems they mean to make it a Crown Colony. There are bills to be paid. White Rajah of Sarawak: But...but...but....I am the White Rajah of Sarawak! It is my birthright! What can be done? Man in in fine linen slacks and pith helemt: That is why we are here, Your Majesty. What is required is for the Japanese to surrender to you. White Rajah of Sarawak: But the Little Yellow Baaahstards are crazed. They will fight to the last. Man in in fine linen slacks and pith helemt: Normally, that is true Your Majesty, but with the proper alignement of incentives.....<he puts one arm on the Rajah's shoulder and they walk off to the edge of the clearing in deep discussion>....
