[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.
