There are two main categories of migraines: functional and dispositional.

The functional migraine is the type for which no abnormality is found with X-ray, CT or MRT tests.

On the other hand, the dispositional migraine is the type for which the same tests show. . .

. . .abnormality such as a brain tumor or bleeding inside the skull that is suspected to be the cause.

There's no abnormality found by CT or X-ray.

I suspect that yours is a nervous migraine.

The nervous migraine is the type triggered by mental stress or tension.

Even when you don't feel it, stress can be accumulated without your awareness.

A nervous migraine is said to be a lifestyle-afflicted disease.

Worrying about sickness or mental depression also greatly contributes to it.

Whether or not you're conscious of it, mental stress is what causes it.

Loyal, square, stubborn . . .

. . . the so-called type A personality and those who share similar traits tend to be more susceptible.

Let's look at the stress first.

Can you think of any possible cause?

Not sure.

There must be something.

Trouble at work, a law suit, a family problem.

In any case, there's little doubt some kind of stress is causing the migraine.

Living creatures are born with the mechanism of self-protection.

For instance, when a turtle is startled, it shortens its neck as you know . . .

. . .so that the head hides inside the shell.

In the same manner, when a human is under stress. . .

. . .the muscles bridging the scull and the neck tighten up in order to shorten the neck.

We don't have a shell, so we can't hide.

But our body sends out the pain as a warning signal.

Therefore, a nervous migraine. . .

Mr. Asakura?

Mr. Asakura?

Yes.

Let's do some exercise for the migraine.

I t relaxes the muscles down the neck and enhances blood circulation.

Yes.

OK, first lift up the shoulders, then drop them and let go.

Now, slowly rotate the neck from left to right. . .

Now, reverse.

Three, two, one.

Hey, chase that car!

Hurry up. Hurry up!

He's gonna get away if you don't hurry!

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell are you driving like a snail for?

Step on it, will ya? - You motherfucker!

Stop foolin' around!

We said, step on it!

You idiot!

He turned! Right at the next signal.

Why the hell didn't you turn! - Motherfucker!

Idiot! Hey, you! Motherfucker!

Make a U! Now!

Motherfucker!

Where the hell did he go?

We lost him.

No way in hell we'll find him now, driving like a snail!

Who picked this damn car anyway?

Are you saying it's my fault?

Isn't it?

You both jumped in the car with me, now, didn't you?

'Cause you were running ahead of us!

To begin with, who brought that asshole into the group?

You, wasn't it? You pay for it!

Why the hell do I have to?

Of course, you do!

Plus, why the hell did you throw the bag to him?

I f you didn't throw the bag to him, we wouldn't have had to get into this mess!

Shut up!

What? You bastard!

Quit driving like a snail, you idiot!

You bastard! You say that one more time!

Hey, step on it! I'm gonna kill that bastard!

Motherfucker! Christ!

What? You got a problem?

You let him get away. What are you gonna do?

Hey you!

I'd call mine superior skills.

This sucks. . .

Hey.

Hey!

Motherfucker!

Didn't see it coming, that he'd betray us.

I t's called greed.

Didn't you sense it at all?

Not at all.

''All things must change.'' That's what.

Wonder where he could be?

Could still be in the neighborhood.

Have any clue?

None.

I want you to think before you open your mouth.

I am thinking.

How much was there?

Huh?

In the bag?

About 100 mil, I guess.

That bastard!

Well, surely, he won't die a peaceful death.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be punished for it. Or, he might even already be.

That's called the karmic retribution.

Uh-huh.

Doesn't matter if a deed is good or bad, there'll always be an equal return for it.

Fate. I t's called karmic fate.

We're allowed this life by fate.

People encounter each other by fate.

All is made by fate, get it?

Know the phrase ''Seated together, facing each other, 500 lives?''

''Seated together, facing each other, 500 lives.''

I t means, with each and every person you come face to face like this. . .

. . .arrangement was made between you 500 generations ago.

I t's not a coincidence.

There's this fate that exists.

Look at them.

Those over there sit where they are now by arrangement made 500 generations ago.

Doesn't that make you suddenly care about people around you, huh?

I t does, right?

What's important is the present.

All encounters were arranged in your former life or way before that.

What's asked of us now is to find a way to make the most of this life we have.

So, don't mistreat fate, I'm tellin' you.

As if you're a priest!

He is a priest.

Huh?

His parents run a temple.

I t's not easy managing a temple.

You. . .you've got a migraine, haven't you?

What?

''I t'' is on you. ''I t'' is on you.

What?

A ghost.

You saw me popping a migraine pill a minute ago, didn't you?

You ancestor hasn't crossed over yet.

You're pulling my leg.

Hey. . .what's this?

A Japanese sword?

I see a Japanese sword.

What? Don't bother me, you!

Excuse me. . .

You ancestor's got something to say to you.

He says, put up a good fight.

A fight?

He wishes he could have fought and died.

I see he couldn't.

That's why he depends on you.

What does that mean?

Please, what am I to do?

500 thousand.

Huh?

I'll settle for 300 thou.

Well. . .

As an offering.

An offering?

Gotta pay the price.

Well. . .

Of course, you do.

Naive if you thought you could get a free reading.

But, 300 thousand is a bit. . .

Hey, hey! Is this a closing party?

I f you spend it so openly, you might get caught.

What are you talking about?

Don't act like a stranger.

You did it, didn't you?

With the bag. The bag!

You did it, didn't you?

Let me join the group, will you?

What are you joking about?

I heard it was 120 mil.

I saw it in the news.

So, what on earth are you talking about?

You, what's your name?

Huh?

Your name.

I t's Asakura.

Asakura, you mean, that Asakura?

Huh?

That Asakura?

Well, um, it's regular Asakura.

I see! Well, I thought he was that Asakura.

You've got yourselves a real good driver.

You rarely come across anyone so square as this.

Well, I have nothing to do with them.

Don't talk nonsense.

I mean I. . .

A company employee.

You came up with a good one!

You usually end up getting someone wearing something like a brand jacket and a white mask. . .

. . .or large shades like this, you know.

You see. . .

A company employee! That's a good one.

Well. . .

30 mil. . . 30 mil is all I ask. And I'll keep quiet.

I'm asking what you're rambling on about?

I'll tell on you! Sure it's OK?

We haven't done anything.

What are you talking about?

You asked me if I knew a good driver.

Well then, 20 mil.

Didn't you hear me? I said we did nothing.

Oh, really.

What a good timing! I'll go tell them.

That bastard!

Not good, not good at all.

Fucker!

Hey, what did you tell him?

I don't know!

What did you tell him?

Don't know!

Not good!

Fucker!

What are we gonna do?

We're done. We're done!

Not good, not good!

Oops!

Let's go.

This way, please.

What's the problem?

Hey, what's the matter?

Are you alright?

Hold on now.

This is. . .

. . .a man's got a pen stabbed in his neck.

We need an ambulance.

How's the patient?

He's not bleeding.

Hysterical but conscious.

OK, on our way.

We're still investigating the circumstances.

OK, keep us posted until we get there.

Roger.

Excuse me, there are a few questions we'd like to ask you.

Please nobody leave the premise yet.

I've got nothing to do with it.

Huh?

I've got nothing to do with it.

Nothing to do with it, I said!

Shut up!

Hey, you!

What? I don't know anything.

I've got nothing to do with it. - Come here a minute.

Hey!

You motherfucker!

Hey, you!

Motherfucker!!

Motherfucker!

Get out of my way, bastard!

Move, move! Out of my way, you fuckin' brat!

Fuckers. . .

Don't abuse your life, you idiot!

Even a scum like you are allowed to live 'cause you've still got something you can give to this world.

Buddha still has something he wants you to help him with.

That's why he lets you live. So, quit abusing your life with that shit, bastard!

You motherfucker! You fuckin' brat!

Can't abuse your life with that shit, you motherfucker!

What the hell are you doing?

He's already down!

Quit abusing your life!

You motherfucker! Fucker!

Quit abusing your life!

What? What are you lookin' at, you motherfuckers!

Scary!

Stop starin' at me, you motherfuckers!

Who did that?

You bastard!

I'm gonna kill you, you motherfucker!

Fuckin' jokers!

What are you idiots living for anyway?

Are you satisfied with this?

Are you satisfied, huh?

PC, IT-- such jokes, you idiots!

Lazy bastards!

You can't even think with your own head or make any decision, can you?

You all make your own lives, you motherfuckers!

All you need is to change the now.

Change the now and you'll change the future, you motherfuckers!

Bodhisattva Kwan-Yin trained herself to reach the ultimate Wisdom, to awaken to the Truth.

She gained enlightenment and saw emptiness in both human body and soul.

She showed us the way to be free from all sufferings.

Listen, you bastards!

All that has form is empty, and emptiness makes up what has form.

Each and every thing that exists in this world is empty.

I t doesn't create, nor does it vanish.

I t isn't marred, nor is it cleansed.

I t doesn't decrease, nor does it increase.

From birth to death, man's life is a series of greed after greed, bastards!

Wanting things, wanting money, you say possessing things satisfies you, makes you feel happy?

What fuckin' jokers!

As long as your values lie in possession and comparison and competition. . .

. . .you'll never obtain eternal happiness.

Throw away the material-bound values, you bastards!

Live in faith, you bastards!

Wake up to Wisdom and Compassion, you motherfuckers!

Cherish the life you're given!

Aim it to the loneliness and the salvation of the world, and scream!

Motherfuckers!

Motherfuckers, motherfuckers, motherfuckers. . .

The time is ripe now.

Follow your own consciousness!

Follow your senses!

Choose something you like to do!

Live hard! Live hard!

Comfort always lies in that!

Spread the word?

I t's fate.

Shit!

What happened to you?

Shall I help you?

There's something I want to ask you.

What's a warrior's duty?

Tell me what is a warrior's duty?

Is it to fight and die?

Is it to die in a battle?

Desire to be loyal and one fails to achieve.

Desire to achieve and one fails to be loyal.

I offer my humble opinion to my Lord and he hands me death.

Honor loyalty and one receives death.

Is there anything like such a death for a warrior?

Assist me. . .

Assist me!

Excuse me. . .

Excuse me. Well, where am I driving to?

You're annoying me. Shut up and drive.

Well. . .

How about your home, for now.

What? Well, my home. .

Don't be annoying. Be quiet!

Right? Right? Don't you agree?

You agree, don't you?

I was shocked!

And you know what he said?

Well. . .

He said, ''Alright, if you want me to pay. How much?''

Boy, was I pissed off!

I told him, it's not about how much the money, it's the kind of mentality I don't tolerate!

I see. . .

Sure, everyone has his insane moment.

We all get tempted.

But shoplifting. . .shoplifting is no good at all.

Better a bank robbery.

How come?

'Cause you risk your life to rob a bank.

I f you're caught, you go straight to prison.

By the way, you know there was a bank robbery today, don't you?

I wonder what happened.

No matter what you're going through, it's no good to take someone else's money, uh-huh.

They fail as man.

Lazy bums trying to earn easy money.

Don't you agree?

I went through a lot, too, you know.

Both the father and mother of this child killed themselves, see?

I was the only relative he had.

I had no choice but to take him in.

I t wasn't easy, you know.

When he first came, he was a young child and already had heart palpitation, shortness of breath

. . .dizziness, numbness in arms & legs, breathing difficulty, headaches, nausea.

Such a mess he was!

He couldn't make any friend at school, either, you see?

He began to stay home most of the time. I t was awful!

From morning to night, locked up in his own room all day long.

I got concerned and peeked in his room one day. And guess what he's doing?

Don't know. . .

Shadow stroking!

He was shadow stroking with a metal baseball bat all day long!

Hey, you know about psychopaths?

Psychopaths, you know, the Silence of the Lambs!

You don't want him to turn into something like that, you know?

Here he was shadow stroking all day long!

I t scared the wits out of me!

I learned this from the movie but apparently a psychopath is different from a psychotic person.

They're called a psychopathic personality. But I'm so glad he's not a psychopath.

He's gloomy but straight, you see?

A psychopath would disobey social rules and stuff, but this child could never do such a thing.

You'd know right away if you rode with him in his car.

The two of you, how did you get here? Huh?

Could it be, you rode with him to get here? Huh?

Did you get here by his car?

I bet it was frustrating! See, he obeys traffic rules like a fool!

I t's his father's influence.

Can't change your childhood habits, you know.

You're annoying.

Huh?

You're annoying me!

Psychopath this, psychopath that. . .

What part of this guy is psychopathic at all?

I said he's not a psychopath.

Stop being annoying.

Has he ever done any harm to you?

I said he can't do anything!

Who do you think you are anyway?

Coming into my home, you think you can talk to me like that?

Shut up! He lost both his parents.

Put yourself in his shoes for a change!

Try to imagine how it might feel to lose both parents!

Well, what about my feelings?

A woman's feelings?

Because of him, my job went up in smoke!

My marriage went up in smoke!

That's because you're yourself up in smoke!

Let go, you damn old hag!

What can you possibly understand?

What can you possibly understand?

I understand! I understand!

Let's talk!

We'll talk and understand each other!

Understand what?

Let go!

Understand what about me?

This child ruined my life!

He ruined my life!

I f his parents killed themselves, and he were a psychopath . . .

. . .then, I'd have to keep my silence all my life!

What psycho?

I f this child were a Psycho, I'd be a Carrie!

Stop it! Stop it!

Hey, stop. . .Stop it!

You. . .

Stop it!

Psychopath!

Hey, stop driving like a snail! You idiot!

What the hell are you doing here?

Um. . .nothing. Right?

I know the deal.

What?

You were cheating!

I wasn't cheating!

Then, what were you doing?

Well, you know. . .Right?

Who are these old men, and why are you with these old men?

That's because. . .we're friends.

Hey, where have you been? Where on earth have you been?

I'm telling you, we ate at this guy's aunt's house.

Aunt? What kind of woman is she?

Well, she's like. . .Carrie.

Carrie? Is she a foreigner?

Not a foreigner.

Then, why Carrie?

Well, that's because. . .

Young lady, I was overhearing your conversation and. . .

Hey, why Carrie? Tell me, why Carrie?

Huh? That's because. . .she's a little bit Carrie.

Come on! Explain to me so that I can understand!

You got the light.

Yes.

The enemy. . .

Where is the enemy?

Down, you idiot!

What's the situation?

Report the situation.

So quiet.

I t almost swallows us, at this troublesome time.

What is the regimental HQ's idea behind this?

Leaving a platoon in the rear field is a meaningless and suicidal action.

OK, we'll thoroughly investigate the front field before dawn and carry out our mission.

Let's go!

Come on!

Tell me why.

Why on earth did you do it?

You thought I'd be pleased?

'Cause I've got nothing to give you.

I'm happy just the way things are.

But. . .

All I want is for you to stay by me.

Just stay by me.

Don't cry.

I f anything happened to you, what would I do?

I'm sorry.

You were too kind to say no to them, right?

Sort of.

Everyone depends on you, Makoto.

I can see how they wanted you to be the leader.

I'm the type of man who would do what a man's got to do.

I know.

I t's not easy supervising others, is it?

How did you find out where I was?

I had a reading by a fortune teller I know.

Really? Is the guy good?

He's great.

He says your lucky direction is west.

Hmm. . .

Your lucky item he says is a metal baseball bat.

A metal bat?

What am I supposed to do with a metal bat?

Don't know.

What the hell is that?

That's what he said.

What can you do with a metal bat?

I. . .I was concerned for you.

Hey, stop crying.

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

Makoto, do you like me?

I like you.

How much?

This much.

Ooh, don't touch me there.

Why not?

'Cause they can hear.

I t's alright.

No! I can't.

Say it's OK.

No, no, don't touch me there.

What is it?

Hey, you got a condom in your first aid kit?

No.

I see. Well, I guess it's OK.

I couldn't get one but it's OK, isn't it?

No, use it! Put a condom on!

But I couldn't find one.

Hey, stop touching me! No!

Makoto, that's too rough!

Yeah! Makoto, you're great!

Cheers to Makoto! Cheers to Makoto!

Break a leg!

Ma-ko-to! Ma-ko-to!

What do you want?

Professional Baseball Scouting Agent?

I saw your strokes.

Which high school did you go to?

I don't remember seeing you at the national.

I didn't attend any friggin' high school.

I see, that's why I never saw you.

What the hell are you trying to say?

Why don't you take a pro level entrance test?

Your strokes are great!

Such an idiot!

Well, of course, there's still more room for improvement.

But I'm certain you'll be a top class player.

Please take the entrance test for our team.

I don't have the dough.

We'll cover all expenses.

What'd you say?

Take care, old man.

I t's rough being a pro, you know.

I t's not so easy making it.

Like what would he do about curve balls, you know?

Wonder if he can handle them?

He hasn't got a large frame, either.

My guess is, he hasn't got the stamina to last.

By the way, which team was it?

Don't know.

Didn't you look at his card?

I'm telling you, you gotta look at those things!

How do you hold the bat?

You gotta hold it real tight, like this.

And the side. . .yours is wide open.

The side, you know, you gotta close it tight.

Anyway, his girl is weird.

I wonder if she's not a little crazy?

She can make his life difficult.

I'm sure of it.

You. . .you got a girl?

I f you're hip to it, I'll introduce one to you.

She's quite large but real sexy.

Really, don't they have any decency?

Doing it in a place like this.

Hey, what would you do if you came upon some money?

I decline.

I just mean, hypothetically.

I f you did, what would you do with it?

Hmm. . .I've never had such a thought.

Make up something.

Hmm. . .Nothing special.

What a bore!

And you?

Me? I'll become happy with that money.

But it's stolen money.

Money is money.

But you can't be happy with stolen money.

Everything would be fine if I only had money.

I don't quite agree that money equals happiness.

Things would work out if I had money.

But it's stolen money.

What about yourself?

Huh?

What about yourself?

Did it make you happy?

Talking as if you're a saint!

Your old man killed himself after all, didn't he?

My father took responsibility. . .

Took responsibility and then what?

What's become of your mom?

So he took responsibility and killed himself.

Did that make you happy, huh?

Can you make someone happy?

Can you make someone happy?

I can!

I f I only had money, I can.

I t's too late once they die.

You can't do anything for them if they die!

You're just a robber!

Just a criminal!

No one will be happy with that kind of money.

Turn right at the next signals.

A right turn is not legal at that crossing.

I t's a right turn.

Need to go straight on.

A right turn.

Straight on.

Turn, damn it!

Can't pull it out!

My foot!

Can't pull out. . .my foot!

Father.

Father, I want to go home now.

Let's go home. . .go home.

Thanks for your help.

Let's play baseball sometime.

Huh?

I'll coach your batting.

Your side is wide open.

You need to close it tight.

Sorry about everything.

Call me if you feel like it.

Take care.

Yes.

Help! Help me!

Actually, I'm just a. . .

Thirteen Bridge.

I'm at Thirteen Bridge.

Help! Help!

Hello? Hel. . .

Thirteen Bridge?

Dressed like that.

Making a fool out of me!

What?

Pull me out.

Pull me out!

Hurry up!

Pull me out!

Hurry up!

Let go.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Hey, you! Let go!

My arm! My arm!

Have a duel with me.

Have a duel with me.

General Kobae, will you please?

I shall be the witness.

Let us begin.

Come now!

Fight.

Fight.

Fight. . .

Let's start over.

I'm satisfied.

I had no idea he'd go that far.

Is that so?

I t's in his bloodline, I'm telling you.

I'm sure of it.

But it's not yet final, is it?

No. See, 'cause my family is square.

We have a cop, a teacher. . .

His family members are a tofu maker, a baker, and who else. . .

Mrs. Hiraki! Here you are.

Thank you very much.

So, what are you going to do?

I f he'd told me something about it beforehand. . .

Like the other day. . .

Please take a number and have a seat.

Yes.

Here's the money stolen from this bank the other day.

Please count.

And there were expenses incurred for my trip here.

A band aid, a sterilizer, a sterile, a bandage, an anti-inflammatory spray . . .

. . .an energy drink, a pain killer pill. . . coming to a sum of 5,750 yen.

The change will be 4,250 yen. And here's the receipt.

Excuse me, sir.

Yes.

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions.

Please come this way.

Well. . .

This way, please.

Well. . .

Thank you so very much.

Excuse me, sir, you forgot this.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Well. . .

Yes.

Is this your car?

Yes?

I always see this car during my lunch hour.

Well. . .

I thought so.

You're punctual, aren't you?

I t comforts me every time I see this car in its spot after lunch.

The other day, the clock at the restaurant was 20 min. faster than my watch.

I rushed out to find this car still parked there.

I t comforted me tremendously to be reassured the time I had was correct.

I need to have everything in its right place.

Like the scissors, the glue, the ruler and other things on my desk.

And with books in the shelves. . .

I need to see the volumes 1, 2 and 3, like this, lined up in order.

And with salt, pepper and other seasoning. . .

I can't function if all the labels on the shakers aren't facing the same direction.

Then, do you have a migraine, too?

What?

Your head. . .doesn't it ever ache?

My head?. . .not really.

Oh.

You've got a migraine?

Yes.

Well?

You're driving too slow, you idiot!

What a jerk! How annoying!

Stop driving like a snail!

You're the ones who don't drive safely!

Keep the speed limit, will you?
