Reply #16: The pirate episode was solid

Pirate 4: (walks up to the two boys) Excuse me. Can I ask you a question?
Butters: Oh. Uhuh sure, Galeed.
Galeed: Why did you Americans come here?
Butters: Well, 'cause our lives sucked back home! We had all these rules and homework.
Ike: Yeah, homework.
Butters: And our parents hollered at us!
Ike: Yeah.
Butters: So we wanted to come here and be pirates.
Ike: Piewets!
Galeed: But that's what I do not understand. Why would anyone "want" to be a pirate?
Butters: Huh?
Galeed: Every day I dream that I can go to school. Learn about the world. But my mother, she is dyin' of AIDS, and there is no money for medicine. My father was killed trying to find food for us. Do you know how I feel every time we try to capture a boat? Scared. And not just scared because I might get killed, but scared because if I don't get something out of it, my family and friends are going to die. I don't want to be a pirate. I don't see how anybody would.
Ike: Oh my God.
Butters: Jeez. Guess we kind of got put in our place, huh Ike?
Ike: I feel, like an asshole.
