Capt. Andy Marshall: No mother and practically no father. What else can I do? Now, she's at a French mission with a bunch of Chinese orphans.
Maj. Matt Lewis: You're better than most fathers. At least you try to see her when you can.
Capt. Andy Marshall: Yeah, but, leaving her at a mission is not my idea of how to raise a kid. What'll I do? Take her back to Illinois with me? How would a half-Chinese kid make out in Illinois?
Maj. Matt Lewis: They'd treat her like a freak back home. She's better off here among her own kind.
