Edited dialog in jeep


There is a scene when Hawkeye and Trapper are in a jeep in Tokyo with a golf course in the background. They are obviously discussing something, but every version of this movie I've scene contains obviously dubbed-over Japanese-sounding jibberish, in between the driver's comments of "Goddamn Army." The scene makes no sense whatsoever. Does anyone know what the original dialog was, that apparently was so offensive that the censors had to mangle an entire scene?

I am guessing that Hawkeye and trapper were mimicking Japanese words in a mocking sense, and that could be interpreted as offensive to some, so they dubbed in some real Japanese dialogue. Just saw it yesterday. FUN! Takes me back.. Way back!
