The Hills head to Japan because Cotton wants to apologize for his actions in WWII. The grizzled vet says he plans to address the widow of a soldier he killed. Peggy arranges to cover the visit for the local paper, but the family arrives to find it has become an overblown media event. Cotton admits to Hank that the "widow" was never married, and the "action" did not occur in battle. Meanwhile, back home, Dale and Bill prove themselves dedicated house sitters by dressing up as Hank and Peggy; and Luanne finds a replacement dog when she thinks she has killed Ladybird.moreless

Truely the best episode...

"Perfect"

By Jakewater2, Aug 09, 2005

Out of all of the King of the Hill episodes, this one is truely the beast. This episode was so incredibly funny, probably becuase the hills were not used to Japanese customs, like they did not know that their hotel room was actualy giagantic. This episode is so much fun to watch and see how idiotic everybody is. The best part was when Luanne got another identical dog because she thought that ladyberg was dead, then she found out that ladyberg wasnt dead, and the dogs started running around and she got the two mixed up. This episode was truely amazingmoreless

- Hank: I already picked the country for our vacation: America. And the state: Texas. And the town: Denton. I don't care what their police did to that cyclist, it's still a good town. Peggy: Great, Denton - gateway to Durndle.
  EDIT SHARE
- (Cotton is going berserk in a Japanese airport because of his war flashbacks - everyone is shocked and staring...) Peggy:There's nothing to worry about; he is just fighting his urge to kill you.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank (preparing for vacation): Would you guys mind taking in my paper while I'm gone. If you let them pile up, it's just like telling the thieves that I make enough money to subscribe to the daily newspaper. Dale: Might I suggest we put ten miles a day on your truck, in case the thieves look at the odometer? Hank (irritated): No.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bobby: Hey Grampa!...I heard ya had a rocky day, so I brought you a pint of Rocky Road.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bobby:(Checking out the small size of the room) Where are we supposed to sleep? Peggy: Me and Hank will sleep on the bed, as it's the local custom. Bobby: Where am I supposed to sleep? Peggy: You can sleep on the desk like you do at school.
