:24:03
Where was it
:24:06
Where was it
that I had seen you before?

:24:10
Your smile is so familiar
:24:15
I can't remember
:24:21
In my dreams
:24:30
I didn't think you'd show up.
:24:33
I guess I had to get a closer look
at the jerk who insulted me.

:24:36
- What would you like to drink?
- Tea.

:24:39
- Why didn't you say who you were?
- Hostile, aren't you?

:24:42
I showed up, didn't I?
:24:44
Why don't you have some spareribs?
:24:46
They have great spareribs, but lousy
lighting. Ever wonder about that?

:24:50
Why a Chinese restaurant makes you feel
like you're inside a motor vehicle bureau?

:24:55
- Feel like I'm waiting for an eye test.
- Well, the atmosphere is not the thing.

:24:59
Besides, I like Italian food better anyway.
:25:05
I'm impressed.
Are you doing your homework?

:25:09
I'm scratching the surface.
So you're from Hong Kong?

:25:12
No. American born.
:25:15
San Francisco, the Bay area.
:25:18
How many generations
have your people been here?

:25:21
My great-grandfather came,
worked in the railroads, went back.

:25:25
My grandfather worked in a gold mine.
He also went back.

:25:29
They went back because the law
wouldn't allow their wives to come over.

:25:33
My father married a Japanese woman
and settled here in the '40s.

:25:37
Yeah, I know the story.
It's a pretty sad one.

:25:40
Thousands of you Chinese came over
here, and you died building the railroads.

:25:44
It says so here.
:25:46
Their bones are scattered all over the
West. We don't even know their names.

:25:51
There's a photograph here.
Promontory Point, Utah. 1869.

:25:56
It's where the Union
and Central Pacific first met.

:25:59
Take a look at it. What do you see?
