That's actually a reference to Apocalypse Now Redux. 

For those of you not familliar with the unedited
version of this triumph of film-making, they put back
in a scene where the PT boat runs across an outpost of
French, a holdout family, their retainers, and some
Foreign Legion guys that never went home.  Absolutely
hysterical--shows the French at their magnificent
best, even if they are completely disconnected from
reality.

In that case, no point in continuing the scenario.
