SHOCHIKU PRESENTS

A Bandai/Shochiku Film

BOILING POINT

RESTROOM

Time out!

Playing in such a dusty place...

What a bunch of idiots.

We're even bigger idiots for watching it.

Shut your mouth.

Hey, did you come here to take a crap or to play ball?

Why stay in the can so long?

Out!

Nice job!

Can't you guys score any points?

So far, nothing.

Watch it! Just hit the ball.

Let's go!

At least score one point.

- Let's do it! - Here we go!

Out!

Too bad!

Okay, let's give it our best.

- Who's up next? - Akira, you're up!

Akira!

Thanks. Who's gonna coach me?

Somebody help him out.

You coach him.

Lt should be someone who knows more about baseball.

We're amateurs, dumb-ass. Why put on an act?

All a coach has to do is just stand there.

- Go ahead. - Ball!

Out!

All right, let's go!

Out!

Man, at least give me a signal.

Swing your arm or something. Don't just stand there.

Here we go!

Ball.

Foul ball.

What are you doing out there?

Why are you coaching the other team?

If you don't know what to do, just go pick up stray balls!

Let's go.

Dead ball.

Pitcher! Look what you've done!

You hit him on purpose!

What if something happens to him?

Don't get so upset.

You shut up! Apologize!

- Don't worry about it. - I’m sorry.

I did that for your sake. What are you doing?

It's your fault. Don't get hit.

Come on, this is the last inning.

Score at least one point.

Worthless punks!

Don't sit on my glove.

Hey, you! Pinch-hit!

He won't make it.

You've got two out already.

Umpire, a pinch-hitter!

Go ahead.

I’m giving you a chance. Hit one!

Strike.

That was too high! That was a strike?

Hit the next one! Take a chance!

Strike two.

Okay, that was a hard one. Wait for a better pitch.

Strike. Batter out. That's the game!

Charment wins 5-0. Everybody, bow!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You should've swung your bat at least once.

Why are you here already?

Your game's over.

We've got 1 0 more minutes. We've gotta play catch and whatnot.

Get lost!

Aim forward like this and swing.

Tight under the arm.

Swing the bat 1 00 times a day. You'll improve.

Swing, or nothing will ever happen.

Come on, let's go! We're leaving!

Okay.

Hey, sorry about that back there.

I get worked up easily.

Masaki, you're late. What kept you?

I can't even leave for a date.

We're short-handed.

Hurry up and change then wash the Benz.

Wait a sec. I'll change.

I went to his place, but he's missing.

Sure.

Nobody knows where he is.

Maybe he ran off.

Yeah.

I’m at the gas station. I'll be back in half an hour.

Sure. I'll be back soon.

What about my car? ls it ready?

Speak up.

You haven't done a damn thing.

The tires.

The wheels are still dirty.

The ashtray...

Forget it. I don't have time. ls the tank full?

I don't know.

Not yet?

Hey!

Who do you think you're dealing with?

I’m sorry.

He hasn't done a damn thing.

What's going on here?

Are you running a business or just screwing around?

I apologize.

Stop slacking off and do your job.

I’m very sorry.

Better shape up, or I'll make sure you go out of business, get it?

What do you want?

Stop it!

You goddamn punk.

Gosh, that hurts.

I think it's broken.

I'll have to see a doctor.

How was it?

It's nothing at all. The doctor said his arm is just fine.

I see.

But his boss will come to settle this.

What'll we do?

What's up?

- I took the day off. - Yeah?

I have to deliver this. Want to come along?

Follow me.

You all right?

This one's a real beast. Be careful.

He doesn't have a license.

- Which do you want? - This one.

I don't need that.

He doesn't need it!

I want to take time off.

Hey, been on any dates?

Can't get one.

Thank you for waiting.

Why not ask someone out?

Lt won't work.

Just try it and see.

I’m going home.

Hey.

This is for you.

Just give it a try, okay?

What time do you get off work?

We close at 1 1 :00.

You ride a motorcycle?

Wanna take a spin?

- Hey, look. - Check this out.

Where are you lovebirds going?

Where are you going?

You listening? What's your problem?

It's a two-lane road. Watch where you're going!

We're gangsters. We can't go to the cops.

Just do what you can.

We'll pay his medical expenses.

We're gangsters, but I’m not here to threaten you.

We're not like that.

We don't want a fuss right here in our own community.

Just do what you can.

Of course. Thank you.

We'll pay all of the medical expenses.

I just told you we're gangsters.

You know what that means, don't you?

Lt was you?

Why not join us?

I hear a gangster came and made threats.

Was he from the Otomo Group?

You hit one of their men, right?

He hit me first.

You shouldn't have fought back.

He was a gangster. You're asking for trouble.

- What'll you do? - I'll go to their office.

You will? What for?

Maybe we can talk it over and settle it somehow.

No, that won't help.

You used to be buddies with Otomo, like brothers, right?

Welcome!

Go with him.

- Do you have a karaoke machine? - Sure.

Have a seat.

What a dump!

Who cares? At least we can get a drink!

Welcome.

What'll it be? A highball?

That's the safest bet.

One Singapore Sling.

I doubt they know how to make that.

Pork cutlet on rice.

- Highballs for everybody. - Yes.

Where's the bathroom?

Over there.

I bet it's dirty.

You're probably right.

- Got an ashtray? - Of course.

What should I sing? Wanna do a duet?

I should take tomorrow off.

What's wrong?

It's filthy. Lt absolutely reeks.

Go take a piss outside then.

Get out!

How's business?

Today's customers are lousy.

They borrow money, don't pay it back, then threaten to call the cops.

There's no more justice in the world.

- Hey. - Hey.

It's been a while, Mr. lguchi.

Muto, how have you been?

I talked with Otomo.

About that business at the gas station...

Whatever happened, will you let it go?

My man's arm was broken.

We can't ignore it.

So you won't do as I say?

Mr. lguchi, you dropped out of the gangster life.

It's not the same anymore.

I’m not your underling anymore.

I’m calling you Mr. lguchi now, right?

But next time we meet, I won't be so polite.

Got it, lguchi?

What's all this, Otomo?

Don't you "Otomo" me.

This is how we earn our living, putting our lives on the line.

You spoiled punk.

Pay up first.

That's how this works.

Sorry about that back there.

Can we talk?

All right.

You go ahead.

Leave, I said.

Let's not do this, please, Mr. lguchi.

You said you'd call me lguchi.

Mr. lguchi.

lguchi, right?

Mr. lguchi.

Just lguchi.

Mr. lguchi.

lguchi. Say it.

Mr. lguchi.

lguchi.

Mr... lguchi...

No. lguchi.

lguchi.

That's it, Mr. Muto.

Good throw!

Safe!

What? I touched him!

What? How can you call that safe?

Damn umpire.

You asshole. Open your eyes.

- That was obstruction. - Obstruction?

- He was blocking the plate. - Like hell, he was!

- I saw it. - You think you know baseball?

He was safe.

I said safe! Got it?

- Idiot umpire! I won't pay you! - Cut it out! I'll make up for it.

This is why we never win.

Forget this asshole. Let's play.

What did you call me? Damn you!

Who do you think you're talking to?

Hey, wait!

Go! Go!

Keep running. Keep running.

Out!

Say, about that dress we saw the other day...

Enough already. I told you I'm broke.

Here.

You gonna swing that bat forever?

I'll pinch-hit.

All you ever do is strike out!

I'll get a hit.

Out!

- Come on, change it up! - Reverse the score!

Last inning.

Score two points.

Score at least two.

Don't hit a foul.

Let's go!

Here we go!

Strike!

Ball!

Let's go!

Strike! Batter out!

Useless ass!

You're making a fool of yourself.

Good job! Keep it up!

Ball.

Come on, try to get a man on base!

- Watch out! - Sorry.

Wait for a good pitch.

Come on, man.

Last inning, two out.

Take a chance!

Wait for a good pitch!

Here's our chance!

We're on a roll. Let's at least score one point.

Who's up next?

KOBAYASHI.

KOBAYASHI? What's he doing?

He's in the can.

The can?

What a dunce!

Where's your next batter?

He's in the can.

We can't wait. Get a pinch-hitter for him.

A pinch-hitter? Who?

I'll do it.

Yeah, go for it. Just clobber the first pitch.

Right?

- Show 'em what you're made of. - Hit it hard, okay?

He did it!

Good job, Masaki!

Don't get ahead of him!

Don't run!

Don't get ahead of him!

Out.

Out? What for?

Because you passed him.

Why did you do that? We could've reversed the score.

That's the game!

Lt could've been a home run.

You did a good job. That was a great hit.

But you should never pass a runner.

You were slow.

What? I ran fast.

We finally hit the ball for you. Run faster, jerk.

He passed me!

Have those gangsters come back to the gas station?

They won't.

You're faster than I thought.

Did you nail her already?

Aren't you marrying MIKI?

What for? I’ve got plenty of chicks.

What about you?

I'll marry her.

Where the hell did that come from?

Hey, a girl's here for you. She's at the tennis courts over there.

You're too fast!

And you're too slow for Masaki's home run.

What a joke.

Don't leave me behind!

Asshole!

You want a piece of me?

Who do you think you're calling asshole?

Are you on a date?

Get laid already?

Where you off to?

The aquarium.

How nice! To see the panda?

But fishing is even nicer. Come with me.

YAOICHI STORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Sayaka.

Yes?

Want to know my name?

Yes.

It's James.

They're not biting today.

Shall we go to the aquarium?

- How are you doing? - I did it at last!

It's those pins.

The ones at the top?

They hold it back.

They play tricks. These things are rigged.

I see.

Can't make it.

What's the big idea? Stop!

I need balls.

No. I’ve lost 1 0,000 yen already.

Think I'll believe a grocer like you can spend that much?

Enough. Stop it.

It's so unfair.

Any way you look at it, he's richer than me.

Why take my balls?

Machine number 21 1 , jackpot.

Machine number 395, jackpot.

Yes?

The balls don't come out.

I'll destroy this place.

I'll burn it down.

Cigarettes.

That'll be 75 balls.

Thank you.

And you?

- Gum. - Don't have gum.

- None? - No, sorry.

Hi, players! Thanks for your patronage.

I have news for you.

You can't win in this dump.

Let's go to another place.

It's called "New Prince." It's near here.

They're offering a special discount today.

I repeat, you'll never win staying in this dump.

Everybody switch to another place.

- I don't want to see you here again. - Screw you.

I'll come back with tons of pro players and put you out of business.

You go on ahead.

Hey, lguchi, come with us, okay?

Did you say something?

Come with us.

Before that.

lguchi.

Where's Otomo?

He'll come later.

Making me wait?

Shut the fuck up and wait!

Pretty feisty for a guy with a broken arm.

You straightened up, so act like it.

You can't put on a gangster act only when it suits you.

Did he see a doctor?

He doesn't want to.

He's going to Okinawa to get a gun and kill everyone.

But he can't move.

That's what he said.

That idiot!

I'll go to Okinawa.

You just need a pistol, right?

Whoever wants to go, meet me at the coffee shop tomorrow.

What the hell are you thinking? Going to Okinawa?

Keep away from gangsters.

- Welcome. - Coffee.

Cancel that.

Here.

Take it with you.

Got tissue? Tissue!

No.

I wonder how lguchi's doing...

Shall we go to town this evening?

How much of our money have you siphoned off?

A ton, huh?

Bring us the money along with one of your fingers by tomorrow.

Remember, if not for Takahashi, we wouldn't have taken you in.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Bastard!

What you going to do with that bottle?

Go ahead.

Please stop, Mr. Uehara.

- Buddy! - Mr. Uehara!

I said to stop!

Stay out of this!

Buddy!

What's this?

- Hand-me-downs from the US Army? - No.

Secondhand?

I made it look old.

Not bad.

Come here often?

Yeah, only to cheap places.

- You shave your legs? - No.

So smooth.

Got a chick?

Laid her already?

You smell nice.

Want a drink? Want to play?

Smooth, like a girl.

Want me to call a hostess?

Get me a girl.

Your phone's off the hook I can't get through

I wanna be a bad girl but not under the moonlight

I’d end up being too honest

The words I’ve been hiding would escape my lips: "Don't go"

I wanna be a bad girI

But not until after I’ve cried, barefoot, on the first train at sunrise

Not until after all my tears have fallen and dried up

Welcome. The usual?

Uehara, if you've got enough money to waste here,

why not pay off your debts?

Damn you!

Finally I’m back home, freezing, only to give you parting words

Good-bye to tears

Good-bye to my heart

I gotta keep trying until you give up on me

And run to that girl you've been keeping secret

Damn you!

Until I hand you over to that girI

I wanna be a bad girl but not under the moonlight

I’d end up being too honest

The words I’ve been hiding would escape my lips: "Don't go"

I wanna be a bad girI

You all right?

You drank and sang too much.

Tamaki, cut off your finger.

Why me?

- We're buddies. - So what?

- Do as I say. - Hell, no.

Come on, man.

The boss told me to cut off my finger.

Forget it.

Please help me. I’m in a fix.

Aren't you depressing.

Why the sad face?

Tamaki won't listen to me.

Knock it off and drink.

No way I’m doing it.

What?

Come on, drink. It's good. Guzzle it.

Think you're so great, huh?

What's so great?

What did you say to me?

Fucker.

Fucking asshole!

Just eat. Here.

You guys too. Here, help yourself.

Eat.

Tamaki, you got a chick?

No.

How do you do it, then?

I manage.

I'll hook you up with Sumiyo.

Sumiyo, would you sleep with Tamaki?

No.

Don't bother.

Who cares? I’m asking her.

No way. I don't want to.

- Forget it. - Do as I say.

Just sleep with him, idiot!

Do it!

That was painful.

Let me do it. Get off.

- Tamaki. - Wait, buddy!

- Tamaki. - What the hell are you thinking?

Lots of things.

- Wait, that hurts! - Do as I say.

No! Stop!

Idiot.

- Your finger. - Why must I cut it?

You laid my woman.

You told me to.

You screw my girl if I tell you to?

Cut it off!

All right.

What are you doing?

Shut up!

- Hold him down! - That hurts!

- Hold him down! - I'll do it myself!

I'll cut off all of your fingers! Hold him!

Buddy!

Anything to hit it with?

Sumiyo, get something to hit it with.

Hey wait. Just wait. What is that? No, don't!

Hit it. Hit it.

Let me bat.

Here I go!

I’m tired of this. Let me bat this time, too!

Pitch it right!

Come!

Why are you so mad?

You slept with Tamaki.

You told me to.

So you'll just screw anyone I tell you to?

What are you saying?

Bitch.

What are you crying for?

Dive, okay?

Let's dive together.

Buddy, let's go.

Quit crying!

Why are so many in here?

You're the one who told us to get in.

Shut up!

It's so hot.

I told you to shut up.

Someone get out.

Shut up, bitch.

Dumb-ass!

Why'd you leave her there?

Shut up!

He wants 30 grand.

Thirty grand?

- Thirty grand, huh? - Yeah, 30 grand.

Come down to 25.

Okay. I'll ask my pal. Give me a margin, huh?

Then it's 25 grand.

Later.

... traditional folk songs about flowers from all over the country.

Amami Oshima Island has "Asagao Bushi."

I like it. Lt means "Morning Glory Song."

"Under a young pine tree, a turtle and a fish play."

Lt says, "A turtle and a fish play happily."

So a turtle and a fish are playing under a young pine tree.

A turtle sings under a young pine tree and a crane starts dancing.

Let's hear "Asagao Bushi."

- Where's mine? - None for you.

Don't pout.

You can take the rest. Leaving tomorrow?

Yes.

Bye.

Finished?

Let's go.

Get out!

Take me to town.

Like hell!

That's the last screw you get from me!

Where's the money?

Think this is enough to settle the score?

Whose finger is this anyway?

That's why we call you scum.

Thank you for waiting. Here you are.

Thank you.

Attention, all passengers traveling to Tokyo.

Flight No. 86 for Tokyo will be departing shortly.

Taking off?

This is from my buddy.

Sorry about all of that.

Take care, huh?

See you again in Tokyo.

BUTTERFLY EGGS

This is the final boarding call for Flight No. 86 to Tokyo.

Flight No. 86 for Tokyo will be departing shortly.

Someone gave me some sweets. Have one.

Eat.

They're good!

And this.

Butterfly eggs for you.

Open it.

Later.

Open it now.

- Make it later. - Later?

Please wait here.

ls this yours?

What's with you?

No, it's not mine.

Look at this.

- It's not mine! - Call the police.

Know what this means?

The gun.

You shoot.

For your uncle.

- You sure? - I’m sure.

For KOBAYASHI and the others.

Let's go.

OMOTO REAL ESTATE AND FINANCE, INC.

What're you assholes doing?

Let go!

Asshole!

He's resting in his room.

He really took a beating. He can't even move.

Are you out of your mind? Fighting with gangsters?

Give me these.

Team Hiroshima is leading by three.

Two home runs in the first half of the eighth inning puts them ahead.

The second half with the Yakult Swallows. First batter is Kobashino, number 2.

Where have you been all this time?

You know what you're doing? Troublemaker!

Hey, thanks.

Who cares where lguchi is.

We're shorthanded. Come back to work tomorrow.

Or I'll never be able to leave here!

Coming back to work tomorrow?

Cool.

The Swallows had men on second and third with two men out.

Kishigoshi from team Hiroshima is on the mount.

He played brilliantly as a setup man in the last series against the Giants

and is renewing a Japan record with 14 consecutive save points.
