Hoa Lo Prison (1896) aka the "Hanoi Hilton" where pilot (later Senator) John McCain was imprisoned. Called "Maison Centrale" because it was French built. Exterior building with words "Maison Centrale" over arch of doorway; tilt up to tall modern building. Sign: Hoalo Prison. Detail of directions on sign, cameraman's finger points out the instructions "No frolicking." Cameraman reads more words: "Toilet in fixed places" and he adds, "You can't take it." Lost in translation, funny, humor.
