There was a small TV in that car,

and those gals were singing Not the Candies, but...

Pink Ladies?

That's the one

She looked so happy watching them, singing and dancing...

Singing "Pepper!" and "Chameleon!"

You know not to listen to petty requests

He wanted to go to Kyoto

So he's eating dumplings now?

He said he wanted to try yatsuhashi

Like an American can understand that taste?

Same outfits again

Masao Kanayama, yes?

You Ieft fingerprints

Your clan isn't even being tracked

Say, where's the third Stooge?

So how much?

We've got that black man under our custody

Don't look

If that thing... gets out...

it's big trouble, isn't it?

How's one "stack"?

Come back with good news

Oh, and give T aro back his video rental card, will ya?

He's been addicted to gangster films

Catch him no matter what

Say, a "stack" is a mil?

Idiot! It's 10 million!

100 million?

OK, so did you confirm the goods?

No? But that's prfority!

What we need is the film

An American...

flag...

Star spangled banner...

Hey, Ayumi

Listen to me before you buy the tickets

Eat everything in this lunchbox, OK?

It's OK to dislike things

Why's that?

You need likes and dislikes to develop your individuality,

or else you'll get bossed around and Iead a boring life

You listening to me, mister?

That's what MMom says

Say, do I look like Mommy?

Not even close

Besides, look at these

Mom would never wear such big, tacky foreign shades

Are you hurt?

A little

Jesus Christ!

Wait up! Just wait a sec!

Don't touch our talents!

That's negotiable In exchange,

go out with me, for real

I... I've got a kid

Kids are like gems

I really hate yakuza

Don't judge on appearance

I bet your life's a mess, too

Very perceptive True, my life's been a mess

I don't want to be in a mess! Bye!

Don't gimme that! Ow, ow!

Good bye!

Man, that's a handful! Here I come!

Kaori's here

But mister...

Mister? Say Grandpa!

Then why did Mom say that you're already dead?

Dead? Who, me?

I wonder what she'll do when she sees you

Let me ask you something

Did your Daddy, um, already pass on?

No, when Mom fell in Iove with Dad,

he was already married to someone,

so she couldn't marry him Bot in this world, anyway

What?

First half's almost over, but no sign of him

Why call me, then?

May I?

Kaori? See, my wife's going through some psychological...

I'll find him no matter what

Now I'm hell-bent, too

There!

The Pearl Ocean departs in 10 minutes

Tell him the packaged tour from Japan cost 500,000 yen

Who cares about that?

A little Iower

Say whiskey!

Say kimchee!

Willy, let's go!

You OK? Your heel came off

What's this?

Listen, I'm into you!

You OK?

It's wet!

Hey, I said I'm into you

Will you be quiet?

Bro?

What, empty-handed?

Good guess

What?

Shut up

Mommy!

Ayumi? Why are you...?

How'd you get here? With who?

Boss!

Good day, sir!

See, that man in the big sunglasses...

You have to be kidding me

You, from that train..

How did you know we're here?

That man says he's your Daddy

Hello, Emperor

Mongoose., right?

Stay quiet for a moment

Kaori...

It can't be!

So pretty

GIad you take after your mom

You really know her?

She died, you know

I wanted to see you so bad!

Her father?

-Oh, I see! -For real?

Sorry, I can't just call you Dad

You abandoned Mom and me

Kaori...

Quit saying my name

Why now! What do you want from me?

I've been alone all this time

Now I have a daughter, my own family

It's not a grudge or anything It's just that I have my own life,

while you seem to be doing well in Osaka

Let's Ieave it at that

Ayumi

Tell me, please Just tell me what you want

Just Ieave me alone

We'll go home after the second half., so be a good girl

We're going home?

You have a show to sing in

And mister?

He has his own life

First half went well!

You didn't even see it

They're just cheap imitations

Cheap?

James Brown and all, they're all impersonators!

Just a bunch of buffoons

Buffoons, right

Be quiet, super senfor

We'll find him by dusk and have a full team

Want to see the real deal in Vegas?

Go with your wife

Well, our buffoons have pride

You're a cheap imitation of your dad, anyway

Doesn't match my cheap suit

It's not my style

If you're missing even one, you won't get paid

You finally said it

Not finally

I remember now, in that bathhouse incident,

a stray bullet almost hit Kaori

That war cost the Juzo boss his woman,

the Tennoji boss lost his sister, one after another...

It was non-stop funerals

When did your wife pass away, sir?

When he was doing time for the second skirmish

No contact with Kaori since?

Just drop it

She doesn't know why you did it, sir

Talk to her. she'll understand

Brother

Getting all mushy on me now!

I'm just here killing some time

We'll go tell her, sir

I told you we've disbanded!

You fools can't understand

Sir, we may be fools, but we know how a parent ieels

What son wouldn't understand it?

Brother...

We need to talk

Me. too , You're after this, right?

In return, find Willy McFarlane for me

He has a show to perform

If I bring him, will you talk to your father?

I'm here to work

Today's his last day

before he goes behind bars

Well, he brought that on himself, right?

Hurry and go find Willy

No, not OK I'm not drunk yet

Forget NeW York, let's dance!

It's a Swiss watch

It's Seiko, actually

Oh, you're right, I remember now

Like this

Used to dance with Mommy

It's like the Russian Cossack dance
