Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

[Seated at a McDonald's, Klaatu begins speaking to Mr. Wu in Mandarin] Klaatu: You've been out of contact for a long time. Mr. Wu: I had a dangerous assignment. This is hostile territory. Klaatu: I've noticed. I was hoping I could reason with them. Mr. Wu: I'm afraid they are not a reasonable race. I've been living amongst them for seventy years now. I know them well. Klaatu: And? Mr. Wu: Any attempt to intercede with them would be futile. They are destructive, and they won't change. Klaatu: Is that your official report? Mr. Wu: The tragedy is, they know what's going to become of them. [Both Klaatu and Wu turn to look at Helen, Jacob and Wu's grandson who are seated at another table] Mr. Wu: They sense it. But they can't seem to do anything about it. Klaatu: It's decided then. I'll begin the process as soon as possible. We should make preparations for our departure. Klaatu, Mr. Wu: [They switching to speaking English] Mr. Wu: I'm staying. Klaatu: You can't stay here. Mr. Wu: I can and I will. Mr. Wu: If you stay, you'll die. Mr. Wu: I know. This is my home now. Klaatu: You yourself called them a destructive race. Mr. Wu: That's true. But still, there is another side. You see, I... I love them. It is a very strange thing. I... I... I can't find a way to explain it to you. For many years I cursed my luck for being sent here. Human life is difficult. But as this life is coming to an end... I consider myself lucky... to have lived it.
