(Driver) Are you Japanese?

Want me to introduce you to some good-looking babes?

Asshole doesn't even speak English.

(Bellboy) ls, er... Is this all right, sir?

Thank you, sir.

(Whistles)

(Silent)

Are you going out, sir?

Oh, please don't bother, sir. You already gave me a tip.

(Bellboy) Please take the gentleman to this address.

(Driver) Got it.

He worked here a while ago, but he got into some trouble,

so I fired him.

(Breaking glass)

Damn! Where the fuck are your eyes, motherfucker?

Huh? What you gonna do about my wine, motherfucker?

Ain't some old cheap-ass wine. Gonna cost you $200!

Huh, yeah...huh? Huh?

Shit!

(Groans)

(Phone)

Tobacco.

Hey, who the hell are you?

This is my big brother.

- Hey, whassup? - Whassup?

(Brother) Where's Denny? How come he's not here yet?

(Jay) Must be gambling again.

(Brother) Let's go without him, then.

(Mo) Check it. (Brother) OK, let's go.

You doing all right?

(lndistinct chatter)

That's how I have to hit 'em sometimes.

I can feel 'em!

One, two, three, four, let's go!

(Jay) 'You're brothers, but you don't look alike.'

Yeah. We are half-brothers. I don't knowthe details.

We were all abandoned.

Isn't that right, my brother?

We were all put in, er, some funny institution.

My brother paid for me to come here and study.

And you end up pushing drugs.

Don't say that in front of my brother.

But he doesn't understand English anyway.

Is there anything you need, sir?

Do you have water? I'll get you some right away.

And what time will you be leaving tomorrow, sir?

Damn! No tip this time!

He gave the maid 100 bucks to make his bed.

He must be really loaded.

Then the maid left him $95 change and this note saying,

"You shouldn't spend money like this. $5 is enough."

If it were me, I'd have kept it.

(Mo) Hell, yeah!

Hey, Denny. What happened?

(Sighs and groans)

Some joker cut me up yesterday, man.

- Who? - Fuck if I know.

Chink. Some Jap motherfucker, man.

Must've been trying to gank another tourist.

You don't give up, do you?

Denny, this is my big brother. He's here from Japan.

Your brother didn't run into me yesterday, did he?

He's not the one who fucked my eye up, is he?

What?

All Japanese look the same to you.

You can't tell one from the other.

- Maybe so. - Well, shall we go?

Yo. Y'all gotta roll without me, man. man. This shit is hurting.

Then you can hang out with my brother.

But he doesn't speak English.

What the fuck am I supposed to do with him?

Drink beer and kill time.

OK, Aniki.

How much beer are we supposed to drink?

(Silent)

Let's play.

(Traffiic, sirens in distance)

(Denny) 'All right, check it out.'

I'm betting you six to one odds, all right?

So if I win, that's six times, all right?

If I bet $10 I get 60 back, OK?

Roll the dice.

Um, ah, let me think...three.

Three. It's gonna be a three. I know it in my heart.

- Six. - Oh, you betting, too?

All right. Well, ifyou win you get $60, you know?.

Let's see who's gonna...

(Chuckling) Ain't that a bitch?

All right, let's do it one more time.

This time I got two and four at three to one odds, all right?

So if I get one ofthem, that's three times, OK?

All right? Let's see what you got now, player.

Come on. Come on.

What? What?

Six.

No, no! Ain't nobody gonna get six twice in a row!

You crazy, man, or what? Well, what is it?

Ain't that a...

Something wrong with these dice, man!

You're cheating. Something. God damn!

$20, man...

Hey, where you going, man?

Ah, ta-ba-ko.

Ta..ta-ba-ko. What?

Cigarette.

Oh, tobacco! There's a store right out there. Check it out.

(Door closes)

Cheatin'-ass mother...

What the hell?

Oh, now, ain't this a bitch? Oh, yeah.

A fucking hole in the cup?

Son of a bitch!

A hole in the cup!

It's the oldest trick in the book, man!

I can't believe this shit.

Hand over the money for the last batch.

All right.

What the fuck is this?

- Fifteen hundred, right? - No, three Gs.

Hey, that's too much.

That's the price.

We can't make money, then.

Take it or leave it. I didn't make you sell drugs.

- What are we supposed to do? - Shut the fuck up!

All right, you cheating son of a bitch, where's my money?

Mo, get my brother back to the hotel...please.

- All right. - Be careful!

What the fuck is going on?

Ken's brother beat the shit out ofVictor.

(Laughing) That's tight!

Are you the Jap that beat up the boss, hmm?

Come with us. Come on.

(Mo) Yo, hold up, man.

You don't follow him. We'll kill you.

Hold up. Then why'd he hit Ken?

(Falls on horn)

(Horn continues)

(Horn stops)

(Car door opening)

(Quiet samba music)

What the fuck do you want, cabron, huh?

(Speaks Japanese)

Ifyou kill him in one shot, he'll give you 10 bucks.

My brother says we are going to war with the cholos.

(Knock at door)

(Jay) What exactly did he do in Japan?

(Ken) He was a gangster.

(Mo) Who's the other guy?

(Ken) His lieutenant.

(Conversation inaudible)

Where we gonna hide these?

Take 'em out ofthe bag.

- Will it fit? - Yeah.

Wait a minute.

OK.

So do you think you'd get away with what you did?

What are you gonna do? Go to war with us?

We'd wipe you out!

Bring it on. Come on!

(Laughs)

Just relax. We're kidding.

Let's discuss this like gentlemen, yeah?

We'll give you the territory.

We didn't like those guys anyway.

From now on, you're gonna be in charge, just as it always was.

You don't have any objection to that, right?

OK, we accept.

(Door closes)

You told them you'd let them have the territory.

Why do that for these fucking Japs?

Why not?

We're gonna massacre 'em all later anyway.

Where did Aniki say we were going?

He said he's meeting some woman.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Hi, guys. I'm Marina. Nice to meet you.

He's justjoking.

(Ken) 'Hey, where's Denny?'

(Mo) 'lt's his mom's birthday, he's at home.'

(Ken) 'Doesn't his mom work any more?'

(Jay) 'She don't need to be a maid any more.'

(Ken) 'Right, right.'

(Chatter)

The same woman is going back and forth down the street.

What's going on?

That's Aniki's woman.

(Money counter whirrs)

Ken, would you sign this?

All right.

- Sign, please. - OK.

You're spending too much.

What are you doing? Hurry up, do some work!

That was my piece until a little while ago.

Well, once we take it, it's ours.

Oh, I get it. Kinda like you.

Hey, how's it going?

(Man) Drop it! (Aniki) Shoot!

Oh, shit.

He needs rest.

All right. Sorry, doc. Hope this is OK.

Thanks.

(Gunshots)

Keep your eyes open.

Don't you think it's time for your brother to move?

He likes it here.

How is he?

Much better. He was fooling around with Denny.

We caught the pusher who ran away.

What are you doing? Stand up!

Hey! Go to the sushi bar. Get knife and cutting board.

What are you guys gonna do?

Cut his finger off.

What happens ifyou cut his finger off?

Erm...he can't swim straight any more.

How's that? You can't feel anything, can you?

(Fast, nervous breathing)

Do it.

Do it!

Wait, wait! I'll give it back, all right?

Just stop the shit. Don't cut my fucking...

(Screaming) Oh, God!

Get off me!

Oh, shit! You mother-FUCK!

- Hey, Mo. - Yeah?

Who's the boss of Little Tokyo?

Some, ah, player named Shirase.

- Shirase? - Shirase.

Should I tell Aniki ifwe got together,

Iike join up with them, our family will be bigger?

What do you think?

Joining forces with Shirase is a bad idea.

- Why? - He's way too dangerous.

So are we.

Hey, Aniki, want me to get you some cigarettes?

No, thanks.

- Why? - My stomach...hurts.

(Sighing) I'm sorry, man.

Justjoking. Joking.

You're messing with me, man.

(Ken) You wait here.

Hey. These fucking guys want me to be a henchman, you know?.

What should I tell them?

Hey, stop!

(Tyres screech)

The boss says we don't need you.

What is this bullshit? You need me!

You wanna fucking expand, you need me. I'm the man!

You know how many I killed? I got a long list of bodies!

Fucking Japs cross me, you'll be on that long list...

(Gunshot)

You! Come upstairs.

- You did it this time, boy. - How's your friend feel?

You want some, come and get some

Where you from? (Laughing)

Take care, now.

He's in a bad mood. What happened?

(Groaning)

(Man) 'We got your woman.

'Come to the Sixth Street bridge. Come alone.'

Shouldn't you take him home?

He doesn't want me to know where he lives.

(Shirase) Ah... That's playing it safe, huh?

(Groans)

Isn't Aniki coming?

No, he's got something to take care of.

Shit!

You know,

he should pay more attention to the family business.

What shall we do?

It's war.

Fuck with the ltalians, we'll be asking for trouble.

(Mo) We'll all die.

I'm a Yakuza from the old school.

If I have to die, so be it.

(Man) Freeze!

(Chatter and laughter)

- Here. - Thank you.

(Gasping and choking)

(Shirase) We just killed Geppetti, so it's war.

You better be ready.

The Mafia will torture you to death.

Ifyou get caught, take one ofthese.

You'll die quickly without pain.
