...captain's first order of business is to deliver an address to the populace, explaining to them what democracy is and that they have it. Fisby explains. Everybody cheers. The captain is delighted-until his interpreter, a picturesque chink in U.S. defenses who is known as Sakini (Marlon Brando), explains that during 800 years of foreign occupation the Okinawans have learned to cheer whoever is in charge, no matter what he says.
