- Morning.
- Hiya.

- Hey.

Oh, you look great.

- Thanks.
- Are you ready?

- Hey, I was born ready.

Who knows that better than you?

- I hope no one.

- You know, the amazing thing is,

I'm not even nervous.

- Babe?
- Yeah?

- You just put your garbage in my car.

- Hey, Hunt.

Today is the big day.

Give 'em hell, boy.

- Hey, I'll give it to 'em.

- We're counting on you.

- Hey, Mrs. Barnyak,
this face is on the case.

- God bless.

- Thank you.

If I screw this up,
this town is dead meat.

- But you're not nervous.

- No.

I'm not.

Oh, god.

- Hold on, Hunt, my man.

On his way to Japan!

- Hey, Hunt!

- Next stop Japan, buddy.

- Take a taxi.

- Good luck, man.

- You look real good.

- You look beautiful, beautiful.

- So whatever happens,

I'm glad they sent you

instead of one of those
gumheads on City Council.

- Yeah.
- Definitely.

- Hey Hunt, don't eat any raw shit, okay?

- Fellas, hey, wish me luck.

- Go get 'em!

- I need Assan.

Assan Motors.

Assan Motors, like I'm driving.

- So I get on the train, and here I am.

Guy says to me, "take the bullet train,"

so I get on the bullet train,
and I'm in a rice paddy.

The guy says, "you go that way," so I do.

And second of all, he says go that way.

So I went that way.

- Yo, hold on, ho!

- Excuse me.

Yo, whoa, babe.

Whoa, jeez.

Sorry.

Sorry, I'm didn't mean to
interrupt your screaming.

I'm looking for Assan Motors.

You know, Assan Motors?

Anybody know where that is?

I'm, like, really lost.

I don't have a clue where I am.

Am I still in Japan?

- You must want executive building.

- Ah, right.

- You are in the wrong place!

- Okay, where's the right place?

- One block over!

- Ooh, guess who got out

of the wrong side of bed this morning.

Hey, these are nice ribbons.

- Those are ribbons of shame!

- I'd wear them on the
inside if I was you.

Thanks a lot.

- Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You've got a little spit here.

Just got a little something
on the corner of your mouth.

Get the other, it's on the other.

There's.

Thanks a lot.

Hiya, fellas.

Or, as you say.

Hunt Stevenson, right here.

Okay.

Hey, look,

where can I put this screen?

I got a screen here, where do I?

- Whoa.

Okay.

Let me just set this down over here.

Don't really need it after
I lugged it 14,000 miles.

All right, don't worry about it.

I'm, like, crazy for your country.

I mean I love it.

You know, my dad was here with the army

in I guess it was 1940.

Hey, did you decorate
this place yourselves?

Because I mean it's damn nice.

It's a real Oriental kind of a feel it.

Do you speak English, I'm just curious?

- We all speak English.

Continue, please.

- We may as well get started, right,

'cause I know you guys have a

long day of

staring ahead of you.

Where are the lights?

- Jesus.

Okay, here we go.

This is Hadleyville.

There's the factory.

That factory's been there
for 35 years, fellas.

Now, it's been closed down
for the past 9 months,

but two years ago,

the place was completely retooled.

Completely retooled, and I'm telling you,

it is in great shape.

Whoa, how'd that get in there!?

Yikes!

Whoops!

Heh-heh.

That's Hazel Lockwash.

Hazel's unit was
responsible for putting out

over 100,000 car engines in one year.

I think the key word here is "put out."

Putting out.

Okay.

This is, uh.

That's, uh.

Can you turn the lights on?

- Thanks.

Look, here's the deal,

two years ago,

the underwear factory
closed down in Hadleyville.

Right?

This was really like a bummer because

first of all, you could get
underwear there really cheap.

Good underwear, too.

Not the kind where the elastic comes out

and rubs your butt.

You know, like good, pure cotton stuff.

That leaves the auto factory.

Okay, now,

the auto factory then employed
like everybody in town.

All right?

Everybody owed their
living, one way or another,

to the auto factory.

These people worked
hard, worked really hard.

Then the factory closed.

If you come over and open that factory,

these people will work harder for you.

That's a promise.

I'm telling you right
now, this is a great town.

These are great people.

And I'm willing to do
anything I have to do

to get that town back on its feet.

That's my story.

I'm sure you've got lots
of questions for me.

So go crazy.

I know a lot of times,

you don't want to be the
first guy to raise your hand.

'Cause everybody like,

laughs at you and shit.

Don't worry about it, come on.

Come on.

Okay.

Okay.

There he is!

Hi, daddy!

- Audrey!

- Okay, I went by your house every day

and fed your fish.

And here's,

here's all your mail.

Oh, my God.

Baby, please, I'm trying to drive.

- Oh, I missed you.

- Yeah, I can tell.

- No, I mean I really missed you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- That's nice.

Hey, the pizza
shop's closed, huh?

- Yeah.

Yesterday.

And next week, the barber
shop, the record store.

The only one doing well is
the guy who rents U-Hauls.

A lot of people are moving.

Listen, you haven't said
anything about the Japanese.

How did it go?

- Well, remember the
first time I met your dad?

He came after me with a power sander.

- Yeah.

- It didn't go quite that well.

They should've sent somebody else.

Mr. Douglas?

Hunt Stevenson.

I used to work for you, remember?

I understand you're plant
manager up there now.

That's great, congratulations.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you,

I really liked working for
you when you were down here.

Oh, yeah.

How's Mrs. Douglas doing?

So you never hear from her, then?

Oh.

Termite man, huh?

Yeah, well, hey,

I'll tell you the reason I'm calling.

I'm kind of toying with the
idea of relocating, you know.

And I was--

Yeah, so I'd go through the
local union up there, huh?

Yeah, okay.

Hey, how's that dog of yours, Rusty?

That frisky little--

Steamroller, huh?

Hunt Stevenson.

Yeah.

No, Stevenson.

Yeah.

You know me.

Yeah, we went to kindergarten together.

Uh-huh.

No, no, no,

Not you and me,

me and your cousin Hector.

Yeah, he used to talk
about you during nap time.

That's right.

Right.

Listen, Ed, here's why I'm calling.

I'm the foreman up here
in Hadleyville, right.

I understand you're doing some hiring down

at the Galveston plant, is that right?

Uh-huh.

Hey, I'll tell you something.

I could jump in a car right now.

I could be down there in, like, 29 hours.

- Come on, Hunt.

Forget about it.

You did the best you could.

You did.

- Check this out!

Guys, look at this.

Look who's coming.

Check it out!

- Whoa, Heather DiStefano.

- Who's that guy?

- Why?

You like him?

- No, I don't like him.

Get outta.

- Oh, hi, boys.

Hello, Heather.

- Hi, Hunt.

- Hi, Heather.

- God.

Hunt, she says hello to you?

- She always says hi to me.

She likes me.

You know, in high school,

I used to keep a picture
of her in my locker.

- I kept one in my pants, pal.

- Okay, everything's rearranged
in the produce department.

We have to make some adjustments.

When people are broke,
they don't buy meat.

And so we need the crackers up here

and the cookies down here.

You want the cookies where
the kids can see them.

Gotcha.

- Thanks.

Hunt.

- Huh?

- Sweetie.

You know I enjoy your company, but

do you really think it's a good idea

if you just follow me around all day?

- Could we talk about
this over by the milk?

- Hunt!

Come here, come here!

Hunt, this is bad, I can't believe it!

Come here!

Hunt!

Aah!

- Oh, my eggs!

- Your eggs?

- Are you okay, man?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

I got great news.

You did it!
- I did it?

Great.

What'd I do?

- They're coming next week.

- Who?

- Boys!

Do you want me to get the firehose?

All right, now line up
and get ready to bow.

Welcome.

Greetings, greetings from Hadleyville.

Greetings.

I'm the mayor, Conrad Zwart.

Sorry.

That always happens when
I say my name too fast.

Right up here, please.

Right here.

- Uh.

Thank you for this surprising greeting.

We have many plans.

Um.

I'm sorry, I'm not good speaker as

man you sent us.

Where is Mr. Stevenson?

Right over here!

There!

- I understand Mr.
Stevenson's presentation

is big reason why we are here.

- Anybody home?

- Ah, Mr. Stevenson.

What a pleasure.

- How you doing?

The door was open.

There was no secretary.

You said 2:00.

Hi.

- My name is Takahara Oishi-san,

corporate managing director.

- Okay, whoa, whoa.

I got them.

Thank you.

Anybody have any Sapporo Suzukis?

No?

Okay, go fish.

Now I got it!

I'm looking at 'em, trying to remember

how do I know this guy.

Now I know how I know you.

Tokyo.

Right, I saw you in Tokyo.

You were screaming and foaming
at the mouth and everything.

- Yes, I remember.

- What was the deal on that?

That was nuts.

You guys were going crazy.

- Management training program.

- For executives who are failing.

- Mr. Stevenson.

- Yeah?

- we would like to offer
you a new position.

- Oh, okay.

- We would like for you
to be employee liaison.

- Are you shitting me?

That's great!

- This is outline of our
company's labor policy.

We would like for you to introduce it

to your fellow workers.

- Why can't we just run the
plant the way we did before?

I mean, we did pretty good.

- If you did pretty
good, then why are you--

- Present our ideas.

Do not be influenced by the fact

we are going to give you
your first executive position

with a very big raise in pay.

- No.

Nah.

Why would I?

Don't.

No, I won't be influenced by that.

This is great.

- Assuming of course, that
the factory does open.

- Right.

Well, I already assumed that.

- We did not.

- Can we count on you?

- Fellas,

is a frog's ass watertight?

- Yes, we believe it is.

Work, work, work!

Work, work, work!

- I know.

I know you want to work,

but please, let's go over
the terms of employment.

Work, work, work!

Work, work, work!

- May I have your attention, please?

Would you please sit down?

Everyone sit down!

My name is Crandall.

Your national union labor
office sent me down here

because we're concerned about you.

When you walk in without a contract,

you're no longer a union.

That's an entirely different
set of ground rules.

The starting salary is only 8.75 per hour.

- We've been getting 11.50!

- We've been getting nothing!

- I want to work!

- All right, work with a contract.

- Do you think they'll give us a contract?

- I think they will--
- Hey wait!

I'm not asking you.

- I think they will if they--

- I'm not asking you.

You don't live here.

Looks like you got a job.

I'm asking Hunt.

He's one of us.

He knows 'em.

What do you think, Hunt?

Talk to me!

Hunt, Hunt, Hunt, Hunt!

Hunt, Hunt, Hunt, Hunt!

- All right.

I think, um.

I think, uh.

How many remember that high school

championship basketball game
over in Pittsburgh we played?

Remember that kid they had
played guard for Roosevelt?

Brickhouse?

He averaged like 37 points a game.

And if you'll recall, I was
our best defensive player.

Anyway, the coach puts
three other guys on.

Right, he rotates these three other guys.

Not me.

Doesn't put me on.

We go into fourth quarter.

We're down five.

These guys have all fouled out.

And Brickhouse has
something like 32 points,

or something ridiculous, right?

Now, coach pulls me aside,

looks me dead in the
eyes, and says, "Hunt,

now's the time, babe.

He's yours.

Take him."

So I took him.

Remember what he scored
the fourth quarter?

Doughnut, babe.

Nothing, zip, zilch.

The point is, if you wanna try to make it,

you got to pick your spot.

All right.

Look, I'll tell you something.

We're very lucky to have the
Japanese over here right now.

We just gotta know how to play 'em.

We gotta make some shots.

Give 'em some room.

Then we make our move, all right.

The game, boys,

is won in the fourth quarter.

- Hey, hey, Hunt!

- Whoa.

Wait, yo!

- One thing I wanna note.

Fourth quarter rolls around,
can you take these guys

like you took Brickhouse?

- Yeah, I can take 'em.

- Let me go in with
experienced negotiators!

- Hey, Hunt, how you doing?

- Hey baby.

- I'm off welfare!

- You know it!

- See you at the bar, baby.

- Good morning.

Welcome to your first
day with Assan Motors.

- Welcome.

- We must build spirit.

We must be a team.

One, with one purpose only,

everyone thinking only of company.

We will begin with morning exercises.

- Jumping jack!

- Begin!

Mr. Stevenson.
- Yeah.

- We're not having a good beginning.

- Yeah, well, see,

these guys aren't really used
to getting up in the morning.

- I don't blame you,

even though you're their leader.

- Okay, sit tight.

- Hunt, get a look at these guys.

- I say we do it.

- Bullshit, man.
- No way!

- You're crazy.

- Why not?

- We never exercise.

- Come on.

You know what this is like?

You know what this is?

It's like the first week in high school

if you wore jeans, you
got in big trouble, right.

By October, they didn't
care if you wore pants.

Which you didn't, a couple of times.

- One.
- One time, all right.

But anyway, do it a couple days,

they'll forget about it, I'm telling you.

Duck

hop.

- Duck hop.

- Okay.

Knee twist.

- I know this step.

- Hey, come on.

Don't.

- Hey!

- I'm sorry, but no music, no cigar.

Just work.

- Whoa!

Whoa!

What?

- Here, here, here, here, here.

Not here, here, here!

- What the hell's the difference?

I once welded 75 bodies in an hour.

- Hey, fellas.

- Hey, Hunt, get Mr.
Moto here off my back.

- He refuses to learn proper.

Prop--

- The guy can't even say it.

- Techo--

Techonico.

- They're moving us all
over the place here.

Why can't we do what we know how to do?

- Every man learns every job.

Then we are a team.

No man is a special.

- Ah, yeah, I got the problem.

Okay, come here.

You see, here's the deal on that.

You're in America now, you know.

And the thing is,

Americans really like to feel special.

- Even him?

- It's go time.

- Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, easy, calm down now.

Hey, look, why don't you just

put everybody back where they belong.

- He belongs in Japan.

- There is one way to run
this factory, one way.

- Is that so?

Yeah, yeah?

Yeah, I got your one way.

- Relax, would you?

Take it easy.

Man.

You want to let go of that now?

- Defecto!

- That's something for
the dealer to worry about.

You know, every car can't be perfect.

- In Japan, if there is
defect, worker is ashamed.

He stays the night to fix.

In Japan, our goal is 0% defect.

- How did you slip by?

- Gooseman, what's the matter?

- He took my newspaper.

- So what?

You're gonna give it back to him, right?

- That's right.

- There.

- No, that is wrong.

He said we can't take
newspapers into the head.

- Hey, can he have the paper back?

See, we encourage Googie to read.

- Hunt!
- Wait, I gotta talk--

Wait, Willie, I'm in
the middle of something.

Hold on a minute.

I thought I gave you the afternoon off?

- I thought so.

I cleared it with you, right?

- Right.
- Would you just

give me a second please.

- Hold on.

We're talking about something here, okay.

- I'm going out, and they stopped me.

- Who?

- The Rice-a-Roni patrol.

They say if I leave,
it'll count against me.

My kid is getting his tonsils out today.

You know, he's scared.

- I know.

- I promised him that I'd be there.

- Okay.

Okay.

Googie, you're reading.

That's good.

So what about it, huh?
- Uh, hold on there.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Good deal, I'll talk to you
about this later, all right.

- No newspaper.

- Yeah, well, okay.

We'll talk about it.

- I'll just trot up to the office

and talk to number one san up there.

- A lot of guys have been
complaining about this.

- Hey, hey, hey.

Go see your kid.

- American car.

- Hey, the Wild Bunch.

Hey, sugar-puss, what's cooking?

- No cooking.

Typing.

- Okay, where's your boss?

Today not a good day to see boss man.

He between a rock and a hard-on.

- No shit?

Whoa, I got to see this.

Hi, boss.

- Ah, Mr. Stevenson.

- Hey, please.

Hunt, okay?

Or the Hunter, if you want.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, probably.

You probably can.

Hey, how's your family
like America by this time?

- I didn't ask.

- You know, speaking of your family,

and I really can't wait
to meet them by the way.

Have any of your kids
ever had any surgery?

- What?

- You know my friend Willie,

the guy that works downstairs,

see, his kid's going into the hospital

to have his tonsils taken out.

And Willie would really like to be there

because he's like this

super dad or something.

I don't know.

The guy just lives for his kids.

- But work suffers.

- Let's talk about work for a minute.

See, I think I can help
you out a little bit here.

You know this zero defect deal?

- No?

- Nah, nah, work, work, work.

You'll go nuts.

Like I had a cousin, Mary Elizabeth,

phew, checked out.

Checked out of the Hotel
Reality, and never to return.

She worked.

That's gonna happen to you guys.

You know, you just,

it's just cars.

It's not brain surgery.

- I see what you're saying.

- Hey, there we go.

Got that settled.

Good.

A load off my mind.

Okay, now I just wanna
mention a few other things,

then I'll get out of your hair,

which looks damn good by the way.

And I'm not just saying it.

- Oh, thank you.

My brother's a barber.

Before I left Japan, he cut my hair.

- Yeah, that's great, interesting.

Anyway, your number two guy, Saito,

this guy doesn't work and
play well with others,

if you ask me.

What is this stuff?

- It's seaweed.

Mr. Saito is not typical Japanese.

- Yeah, well I'll tell you something.

I'd dump him.

Really, if it was me, I'd lose him.

Phew, out of there.

- He's nephew of my boss.

- Whoa, that could be tough, huh.

Well, okay, then just get
the guy to lighten up.

'Cause I'll tell you something.

He's a real pain in the ass.

See, we have our own way of making cars.

I really think it'd be better for now

if you just let the guys do
the jobs that they do best.

- I see what you are saying.

- Great!

We're cooking.

You know what, you're a guy I can talk to.

- How often?

- Hey, you guys don't play
softball by any chance, do you?

- We play baseball, but
I've heard of softball.

- You know, we play in a Sunday league,

but we need a practice game Saturday.

You want to come over and play?

- What time?

Two?

- Hmm, if we're not busy.

- Okay.

We just play for beer.

So do we.

- Afterward, we piss for distance.

- For us, it's accuracy.

- The Kazmonaut.

- Oh man.

Look like the Yankees.

I hate them already.

- Mr. Stevenson!

- Kazman.

Here you go.

How you doing?

You look good.
- Thank you.

We just need a few minutes to warm up.

- Sure, sure.

Hey, nice glove.

- It's a Haseo Makasaki model.

- Oh yeah.

I've got a Merv Griffin model.

- Oh, that's good.

- Yeah.

- What is this crap?

I thought it was play ball!

- I'll put a stop to this.

I'm gonna put a stop to this crap.

Here you go.

Let's see a little bunt now.

Come on, whale killer.

Let's see a bunt right here.

- Last inning, come on Hunt.

Two runs from winning, come on.

- Bases loaded, Hunt.

Come on now.

Give it some stick.

Two runs, we win.

Come on, Hunt.

- All right.

See the ball, Hunt, see the ball.

Hit it on the
ground, hit it on the ground.

Goddamn.

- All right, two runs scored, we win!

Yeah.

All right.

The guy should've faced that.

- Where's my Ray-Ban?

- You okay?

- Yeah, it was a good game.

We had fun.

- Look, I'm really sorry, man.

- He's fine, look at him.

- All over the base, man.

Showed him, huh?

- Yeah.

Yeah, you showed him.

See you tomorrow.

- Practice your English.

- Tomorrow is the boy's birthday.

I bought him a bicycle.

- Fine.

- At Sears, where America shops.

I cannot put it together.

Here are the instructions.

Can you do it?

- Not tonight.

- But I want him to see it
when he wakes up tomorrow.

Kazihiro.

- Can't you see I'm working?

I have no time!

- Why do American fathers have time?

- Why?

Because their work sucks!

- You leave my mother out of this.

Kazihiro?

Hey boys, look who's back.

- Hey, pea brains!

What's going on?

- Hey, man.

- Hey Tony, where'd they put you?

- Right here.

- On these guns?

- On this spot.

- They're going to reassign you, numnuts.

They told me to tell you.

- Hunt, I bet I'm getting your old job.

Foreman, what do you think?

- I bet that's it.

- Yeah, you hear that you fartheads?

I'm getting off the line, here.

- All right.

- Hershiser.

Mr. Hershiser.

Mr. Hershiser!

- Uh, yo.

- We have a new position for you.

- Ah, yeah.

That's what I heard.

- Uh, we are understaffed

in the custodial department.

We are transferring you there.

Your pay will be the same.

Please continue.

- Hey, yo, made in Japan!

What the hell am I
supposed to do with this?

- That should be obvious.

We expect you to sweep.

- Hey, hey, yo, come here.

This guy knocks you down at a ball game,

so your gonna tell him to push a broom?

- No.

No, not personal.

He has more defects than
other workers in the factory.

It was Kazihiro's decision.

A very good one.

- Yeah?

Defects, huh?

Defects, is that it?

- Wait, wait.

I'll handle it.
- Oh yeah?

You're doing a great job so far, Hunt.

We're like shit on their shoes!

- Wait a minute.

This is just for a while, I'm telling you.

Just hang in there.

Look, I'm going to this guy,

Kazihiro's house for dinner this weekend.

- Oh, dinner sounds great.

- No, no, no.

We'll work on it there.

I'm gonna lay down the law
with him there, all right.

- I'm not sweeping up, I'm quitting.

- Why you gonna quit?

- I'm gonna quit.

I'm gonna kick the Japanese
crap out of that guy.

- Hey Buster, wait a
minute, wait a minute.

You've got two kids.

- I ain't taking this, man!

- You've gotta take it.

- Everybody's looking at me, man.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

- What are you supposed to do?

You supposed to take care of your family.

That's what you're supposed to do.

Look, I,

let 'em look, man.

It doesn't matter what they think.

Let's go.

Let's go, back to work.

This is delicious.

What do you call this?

- Meatloaf.

You could not tell?

- Well, you know,

I'm thinking to myself,

this tastes a little bit like meatloaf,

but it's too delicious to be meatloaf.

In fact,

in fact, Audrey leaned
over and said to me,

honey, can I have some of yours?

What am I gonna say, no?

You know, I love her.

I'm gonna give it to her.

Here you go, hun.

There you are.

Whoops, here's a little bit right there.

- Thanks.
- sure.

- Are we ready for dessert?

- Oh, boy, I know I am.

- In a few minutes.

Right now we have a little
bit of business to discuss.

- Hey, Audrey.

- What?

- Uh, why don't you,

you know, uh,

leave?

- Actually, I'm interested in
what's going on at the plant.

Nobody minds if I stay, right?

See?

- Mr. Stevenson.

- Yeah.
- Hunt.

How are things at the factory?

- Honestly, Kaz?

- Yes, please.

- Not too well.

See, your stateside now fellas.

And to tell you the truth,

you're still acting like
a bunch of Yokohama mamas.

No offense.

- None taken.

- Can I be frank for a second?

I've heard a lot of talk about

how good the Japanese businessmen are.

Quite frankly,

I'm sorry, I don't get it.

I don't see it, I'm not impressed.

Not one iota.

- You're fired.
- What?!

You can't fire me.

- You'll go back on the
line with the others.

- Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Just explain this to me.

Why?

- I do not understand American workers.

They come five minutes late,
leave two minutes early.

They stay home when they are sick.

They put themselves above company.

You seem to feel the same way as they do.

- Okay, excuse me.

Then explain something to me.

When this was an American factory,

production was up 10%.

Higher than it is with you guys.

Now explain that to me.

- 10%?

- Yeah.

- In Japan, production
in same size factory

is 40% higher.

- With superior quality.

- That's impossible.

How can you guys work that fast?

- Japanese worker is
very loyal to company.

He's proud when company does well.

He's ashamed when it does poorly.

- Like now.

- In Japan, when production lags,

worker stays longer in factory.

- Okay, overtime.

Hey, we can talk about overtime.

Time and a half is standard.

- Now, they do not do it for pay.

They do it for company.

- Yeah, but that's there.

This is here.

- Gentlemen, this is an American factory.

They're never gonna go for that.

- Is that how you feel Hunt,

that they'll never go for it?

- Well, I'll tell you something.

There's one guy who can
get 'em to go for it.

And you're looking at him.

- You can change workers' attitude?

- If I can't, nobody can.

- Nobody can.

- Hey, would you shut up?

Goddamn!

Okay, you guys have a problem, right?

I'm the answer man.

I'll can work this out
and make everybody happy.

I always have.

Come on, you gotta give me a shot here.

- All right.

We make no more changes for now.

- There you go.

Yeah.

Hey, hon.

Want to stop off, get some ice cream?

Haagen Dazs.

- Eat shit and die.

- Hey, you having your period?

- Stop the car!

How could you do that to me?

- What?
- How could you tell me

to shut up right in front
of all those people?

In front of your--
- Hey, hey, hey.

I'm dealing with a rather,

a rather delicate situation.

- Oh, well tell me?

What are you trying to do?

- I'm trying to save some jobs.

- Well, the only job I heard
being threatened was yours.

- They picked me for this job, all right.

I didn't ask for it.

Those guys need me.

- The guys need someone

who's gonna tell them
where things stand, hon,

they don't need some guy

who's trying to make a
winning play all by himself.

- It'd be pretty nice for a change

to have a girlfriend

who is a little bit supportive of me.

- Supportive?
- Yeah!

- You're talking about some little chick

who's gonna sit there

and go along with everything that you say.

A parrot with tits.

- How can you bring Heather into this?

- Um.

I wasn't thinking of Heather,

but apparently you were.

- Audrey, come on.

Hey, Audrey.

Come on, Audrey!

Hey!

Morning.

- Where did you come from?

- I've been swimming down
below you the whole time.

Didn't see me, did you?

- Is anyone else down there with you?

- There might be.

You know, boys,

now that I got you all together,

I've been thinking it over.

You know what we need at the factory?

An incentive program.

- We don't need incentive program.

What we need is faster workers.

- What we really need
is a fish to come along

and bite your pecker off.

Bottom line.

What's the most amount of cars

you guys ever turned out
in one month back in Japan?

- 15,000.

- All right, my men are gonna
make 15,000 cars next month.

But when they do,

you gotta bring their salaries

back up to their old level,

and you gotta guarantee
them full employment.

We got a deal?

- I'm not sure if--

- Come on, what do you got to lose?

The pressure's all on us.

- All right.

We strike a deal.

15,000 cars,

not any less.

One less than 15,000,

no raise, nothing.

- I'm starting to like this ritual.

You know,

this is hard for me to say,

but I got to tell you something, man.

The American worker is really
second best, I'm sorry.

No, the Japanese can do everything better,

faster, and longer.

You don't like to hear that, do you?

Well, neither do I, 'cause it's bullshit.

Who's better than us?

Nobody!

- Who?

Nobody!

- Who?

Nobody!

- You bet your red, white, and blue ass.

When they told me

no Americans could ever
match the amount of cars

made by the Japanese in one month,

it took a dozen guys to hold my ass down.

I said not only will we make
more cars than the Japanese,

but at the end of this month,

when we break your record,

I expect full employment at this factory.

I'm talking 200 more union brothers

and sisters back to work too,

And like I told you months
ago, at $11.50 an hour.

- Hey, Hunt.

How many cars for the record?

How many?

- How many?
- Yeah!

- 15,000 cars in one month.

That's 15,000 a month.

- Hey, Hunt!

Did you say 15,000?

Are you joking, or what?

- Come on, I'm not kidding.

Come on, we can do that.

Can't we?

What are you telling me?

Are you saying the Japanese
are better than us?

No!

- Yeah, man, but 15,000,
that's lots of work!

- Yeah, what if we work our butts off,

and come in just under 15,000?

We get nothing, right?

For all that work?

What kind of deal is that?

- Excuse me, fellas.

The man's not an idiot.

He wouldn't let that happen.

- I'm not an idiot, of course not.

- And even if we just come
close, we get something, right?

- All right.

- What do we get, like,
half a raise for 12, 13,000?

- Yeah, 13,000, yeah, right.

- Why didn't you tell us
that from the beginning?

- Because I just thought of it.

Because I thought,

'cause I just thought,

you know what I thought,

I thought it would be
better to concentrate

on the full 15

and that way get the whole raise.

Let's just think about that.

Let's not even,

let's not even think about 13,000.

Let's not even talk about it.

Let's pretend I made it up.

Let's just pretend I
made up this crazy thing

about 13,000 cars.

See?

That way, we just go for the full 15.

And I'm telling you,

I say we can do it.

Let's do it and do it our way.

Can we do it?

Yeah!

- Oh, come on.

Can we do it?

Yeah!

- Can we do it?

Can we do it?

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

It won't be easy.

We'll have to do what the Japanese do.

If they're falling behind,
they stay after hours

to catch up.

They work late.

They show up early.

Hey, morning.

If they can go faster,

the workers ask for the
line to be speeded up.

They cut down on lunch hours and breaks.

They save time any way they can.

If they can do it, we can do it.

Hey Tony, what do you need
two hands to scratch your ass?

Come on, let's get a little work going.

- We've got to talk!
- Wait a minute.

Not now, we'll fall behind.

Two bumpers on the car, not one.

One in the front and one in back.

- Hunt.

Listen to me.
- What?

- We got it, we're in!

We're getting the raise.

- There you go!

- I figured it out.

13,000 cars.

All we have to do is work
the rest of the month,

eight hours a day like always,

and we're golden.

- 13,000?

That's good!

That's good, but see,

you can't think like that.

We can't think like that.

Like I said, if we don't make the 15,000.

- Hunt, we ain't gonna make it anyway.

- Well, we're gonna have to work harder.

- Bullshit.

- Yeah.

- This is Sunday.

- Okay.

- Hunt, I haven't seen
my kid in two weeks.

How can you say that to me?

We're all working as hard as we can.

- Willie, look, I know,
man, but we gotta--

- We'll make 13,000.

We got the raise and a lot of
us are satisfied with that.

- Bullshit.
- Jeez!

- Do you believe that guy?

- Excuse me.

- You're excused.

- Hey, Buster, what's going on?

- Nothing.

Just doing a little shopping.

- Mr. Stevenson.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Would you like something
on the shelf here?

- Yeah, she'd like something,

but she ain't having a whole lot of luck

getting it, are you?

Here you go, here you go.

Whoa.

- Hey look, uh,

I know you're drunk and everything,

and things haven't been going
real well for you lately.

But why don't you lighten up?

- Yeah, why don't you just
get down an kiss her ass

like you do her husband every day, huh?

Oh, mommy, mommy!

- Clean up in aisle three.

- I'm sorry, man.

- My wife told me what
happened, and I am grateful.

- Aw, jeez.

Hey, do me a favor.

Don't fire the guy, all right.

He's really been very unhappy lately.

- I will not fire him.

You are a good friend to him.

- Yeah.

You didn't see him sprawled
out across the cheese puffs.

- Still, you are his friend.

In Japan, I have many friends.

We only talk about,

uh, cars, or do exercises,

but sometimes we

go see a sumo game.

But that's in Japan.

Once again, thank you very much.

- Okay.

Hey, you wanna go get a beer?

Right there, what's that?

- I don't know.

- That's two men walking abreast.

- I got one for you.

This is one-eared elephant.

- Wait a minute.

There's a church league here.

Reverend,

one-eared elephant.

- Oh, oh!

- Put him back in the zoo now, come on.

We're going to jail
before the night's over.

- What laughs we're having, huh?

- Yeah!

Good raffs.

Well, I guess I got
things running pretty well

down at the factory, huh?

Right?

- Mr. Saito is major fuckhead.

- I beg your pardon?

- He calls Japan and tells them

that I am losing control here.

One more failure, and I'm ruined.

- What do you mean one more?

- Remember when you first saw me?

- Yeah, the screaming academy,

you were enrolled there, I think.

- It's a place for failures.

I'm not a good leader.

- You're a good leader.
- No, I'm not.

I used to worry that men
were working too hard,

that they were missing their families.

I was concerned that they were

not getting personal
satisfaction from their work.

- You animal.

- You make jokes!

- I'm not making a joke.

- But I had to make a
shimatsusho for workers.

- You had to cook for those guys?

- No.

An apology.

I had to apologize to the workers

for letting their production fall behind.

I begged for their forgiveness.

They were all humiliated because of me.

The only measure of a worker's value

is the work.

The company is everything.

Team!

That's what raised us
from a conquered nation

to an economic power.

We are one,

with one purpose.

- You guys are doing great, I admit it.

Yeah, hey.

Pretend we're dancing.

Get down.

He'll be back.

There's a midnight show.

- One more failure, and, uh,

and I'm ruined.

Ah, I got troubles, bud.

- You think you have troubles?

I have troubles with hair on 'em.

Listen, I told the guys

that there might be a partial raise

if we made 13,000 cars this month.

- You told them that?

- I know, I know.

You obviously shouldn't
drink if you find that funny.

I find it totally depressing.

- You're right!

You're right!

- I am?
- Yes.

- Hey!

Are you shitting me?

- No, you are in much
more trouble than me!

I feel much better.

- It's jammed, Goog.

Call maintenance!

- Maintenance, no good.

It'll be two hours.

- Good, I could use a break.

- You could use a break?

You just had a five-month break.

You should've been
pretty well rested then.

- Hey, you know I'm
getting very sick of you.

What do you want from us?

We eat on the line.

We sleep on the line.

We piss on the line.

- Shut off the line!

Shut the goddamn line off!

- You okay?

- I tried to unjam it.

- Take it easy.

- I didn't want us to lose time.

- Back off, will you Hunt!

This is your fault to begin with.

- Slow, slow, slow.

- Bad timing, huh.

- Bad for you.

- What happened?

Why are they stopped?

- One of the workers had an accident.

- Why are the others not working?

Back to work!

Back to work!

- A man has been hurt!

You may be next!

- Excuse me.

This is for Mr. Googleman.

How is he?

- He's fine.

We're going in to see
him in a few minutes.

- I'm happy.

- Well that's the main thing,

as long as you're happy.

- He's happy they only have
to give us half the raise.

- Half the raise?

- Half the raise

for making 13,000 cars in a month.

- That is not so.

It was 15,000, or no raise.

- Hello.

- We just talked to that guy, Ito.

We found out there's no
raise for 13,000 cars.

And I'm calling all the guys

and we're coming over to get you.

- Oh, shit!

Hygiene.

Shit.

Get in there, ungrateful little.

Get in!

Defects.

- No raise for 13,000 cars?

- What, are you going somewhere, Hunt?

- No.

- All right, let's get this over with.

- Did you hear what I said,

there is no raise for 13,000 cars.

- All right, look, fellas.

Now, listen.

Fellas, here's what happened.

- We know what happened.

They made a deal with you man,

and then they broke it.

- Those sons of bitches!

I don't believe this.

- They did make that deal
with you, didn't they?

- Huh?

Yeah, they made a deal with me.

You're damn right, those sons of bitches.

- All right we're calling a union meeting

for tomorrow night.

But before that, we're going to see that,

what's that guy's name?

- Kazihiri.

- Kazihiro on our lunch hour.

- I think you should come with us.

Call that guy a liar to his face.

- That's right.
- Yeah.

- Okay, all right.

I'll tell you what.

I'll do better than that.

I'll get there ahead of you guys.

I'll have this whole thing settled

before you even get there, I'll tell you.

- That's what we want to hear.

- That's what separates
us from the Japanese.

- What's that?

- We got a guy like
you looking out for us.

- Hey, fellas, I'm just doing my.

- Go get a couple brewskis.

- All right, I'm buying.
- See you later.

- I'm sorry man.
- Hey, I'm sorry about--

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

- I got kind of, uh--

- Well, we're going out for a few beers.

Let's talk about it over there.

- Oh, no, no, no, you go ahead.

- Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

- I'm gonna stay here.

I'll talk to you later.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- All right.

- Don't feed Anabelle.

No more MTV!

No more Twisted Sister!

Read a book!

- More Jimmy Dean pork sausage?

- No!

No more Jimmy Dean.

No more Hawaiian Punch.

No more Green Giant frozen niblets.

Who the hell can that be?

Yes!

Sakimoto-san.

- May we come in?

- Yes.

Please come in.

Sit, please, sit.

Can I, uh, get you anything?

- No.

- G.I. Joe!

- That is neighbor's child.

- Everything is all right here?

- Yes.

Fine, great.

Well, have a nice trip back.

- I'll come to the
factory tomorrow morning.

- Uh, tomorrow's not a good day.

- Why not?

- The factory is locked,

and we can't find key.

- Bullshit-o!

The men are preparing

to have a big union
meeting tomorrow night.

- Is this true?

- Yes.

- This does not make me very happy.

You have let me down.

Come, nephew.

I'm tired.

- Uncle, uh, you can stay at my place.

- Is your wife with you?

- Yes.

- Ramada Inn.

- We got to talk.

- You're telling me, brother.

- Look, my men are expecting a raise,

and I gotta get them one.

- You shouldn't have
not told them that lie.

- Well, I thought we'd make the quota.

And I figured if we didn't make the quota,

well, then then you'd be man
enough to give them something

for getting so close.

You know what I'm saying?

We're 1,000 lousy cars short.

- Impossible.

And you tell them they
must not form a union

or Mr. Sakimoto will be very displeased.

- Yeah, that's a good idea.

That's a good idea.

I should've thought of that.

I'll go on down and talk
to the guys and I'll say,

"Hey, you know what?

We really shouldn't form a union

'cause that would really
displease poor Mr. Sakimoto."

- You told me that you
could control your men.

You put me in a very bad situation!

- Hey, look hot shot.

I bailed your ass out I
don't know how many times.

Who do you think kept
the guys going this long?

You and all that personal charm of your?

It was me.

I backed you.

I handed you 14,000 cars.

And now I'm gonna look like shit.

Give my men a raise.

- Are you crazy?

If I give them a raise,

Mr. Sakamoto will have a baby.

Working conditions must
remain as they are.

You tell them that.

- Now who's nuts?

- Not us!

We know what we're doing.

I see now why they gave
me ribbons of shame

because I beginning to
think like American.

- Ha, hey don't flatter yourself, ace.

- It's true.

Everybody in this country
thinks they are special.

Nobody wants to be part of a team.

They're all too busy

getting personalized license plates.

None of you would last two days

in management training program.

- None of us would be stupid
enough to stay two days!

- Because you are all selfishness

and that's what makes you weak.

- I'm weak?

- You don't even have the guts
to stand up to your own boss?

You're a real Millie, you know that?

- I am no Millie!

Get outta here.

You're fired!

You don't work here anymore!

- I'm fired?
- Fired!

- That's great.

That's fine with me.

You guys think you're so hot,

this factory's been running like shit.

- It's run our way, the
way that we know how.

This is the way it is.

- Yeah?
- Yeah!

- Oh yeah!

Let me tell you something.

If you're so great,

how come you lost the big one?

- Come on.
- Break it up, Hunt.

Break it up.

Take it easy.

We'll work it out at the meeting.

- I don't need any meeting.

I'm through right now.

Anybody else need a meeting?

No!

No!

- All right, let's walk!

Welcome to the Hadleyville

Fourth of July picnic.

Lots of fun for everybody.

And don't forget, the big
fireworks show tonight.

- Hey y'all.

- You know, I'll give it to you Hunt.

You said when the fourth quarter came,

you'd handle them, and you did.

- Well, you know.

- They lied to you.

But you didn't let them get away with it.

That was great.

Top notch, Hunt.

Right on top of it, buddy.

- Good evening.

Can I have your attention please?

Is Hunt Stevenson here?

Hunt Stevenson?

Come up here, son.

The man who saved Hadleyville.

We're staying
out until we get the raise.

- Well, have I got a
piece of news for you.

I just got official
word from Assan Motors.

The factory is closed.

- What?

- A lockout?

- No, bright boy, not
a lockout, a pull out.

A close down,

an adios, a sayonara, roundeyes.

They said the workers,

especially their leadership,

were too difficult to deal with,

so they're closing down the factory

and going back to Japan.

The man who saved Hadleyville.

You're the man who killed Hadleyville,

and I'll be the man who kills you!

- Wait a minute.

Where do you get off blaming Hunt?

He tried like hell to get
along with those people

and they make a deal
with him, and weasel out.

Let me tell you something.

We are behind you, Hunt.

100%.

- You buy that?

You all stay here and starve with him.

Fuck you.

- Quiet!

My friend Hunt's trying to speak.

Go ahead, Hunt.

- Uh,

well you know first of all,

I think you all should know something.

All right.

Uh, see,

I don't know, I figure
we made 15, you know,

we have the make,

if we made 13,000 cars,

you know, we'd be so
close to 15,000, right,

that if we would--

- Yo, Hunt,

what are you trying to tell us?

- Well, hey.

I lied.

- What?
- Oh, my God.

He lied to us?

- Yeah, there was no--

there was no deal for 13,000 cars.

- Awe!
- What?

- We walked out on a lie?

- I never in a million years

thought it could lead to
this, I swear to you man.

- You should've told us the truth.

- The truth?

You don't want truth.

You know what you wanna hear?

You wanna hear that
Americans do things better

than anybody else.

Yeah!

- They're kicking our butt.

And that ain't luck.

That's the truth.

There's your truth, sure.

Great old American do-or-die spirit.

Yeah, it's alive, but they got it!

Well, I'll tell you something.

We better get it back,

we better get it back damn fast.

Instead we're strutting around,

telling ourselves how great we are.

Patting each other on the back.

You know, I guess if
I was really a leader,

I would've told you this months ago.

Instead, I was telling
you basketball stories.

Jeez.

I put myself in front of the
town, and I'm really sorry.

I swear to you, man,

I'm really sorry.

- Ito.

- Sakimoto-san.

- This is Looney Tunes.

- Looney Tunes?

- That's all, folks.

- We are insane!

- Why are you talking American?

- Because I have American idea.

We work too damn hard!

This is not our lives.

This is a factory.

Our friends, our family
should be our lives.

We are killing ourselves!

We are Millies!

Many of you are troubled by
the same things as me, eh?

Tell him.

Tell him we have things that
we can learn from Americans.

- Need any help?

I went by your house.

How come you're still out here?

- Couldn't go home.

Somebody filled my car with horse manure.

- Who would do that?

- I don't know.

I don't think it was a horse.

Hunt, I, um,

I came to tell you you were great tonight.

I think it took a lot of guts
to say what you said, and,

I was really proud of you.

- You think I could possibly have a hug?

Oh, god.

Right on this bridge

is where I kissed you for the first time.

- Yep.

Aah!

- Jesus!

That's Kazihiro.

What's he doing here?

- Hey!

Hey!

Well, you look good.

Did you join a health club?

- I came out here to be alone.

In Japan, you're never alone.

You put on your pants,

and there's someone in there with you.

It's almost that bad here.

- Yeah, I need this!

- I'm ruined!

I destroyed my career!

- You're ruined?

There's 1200 families in
this town that are ruined,

you jag-off.

- I let down myself.

I let down my men.

I wiped out your town!

Disgust!

I can't stand it anymore!

- Nice talking to you.

Jeez!

Hey!

Are you nuts?

Whoa!

If you're going to drown yourself,

at least take off your watch!

- I'm not drowning myself!

I'm just freaking out!

- Hey, are you guys okay?

- Yeah, we're all right.

Kazmania's trying to swim back to Japan.

I talked him out of it.

- Okay, I'll,

I'll wait for you up here.

- You okay?
- Yes.

- Come on.

You're a maniac.

- Last night, I told my boss off.

- Oh, yeah?

Good for you.

Was he awake?

- Are you kidding?

I was on him good.

I was on him like hair on a gorilla.

- Where do you get these expressions?

- You're coming around, Kazmonaut.

Took you long enough,
but you're coming around.

- Yes, we screwed this up good.

- Aw, damn it.

You know,

I think of all the shit we did wrong,

and it's an impressive amount of shit.

We were this close to
pulling this thing off.

This close to doing it.

Ahh.

Well, look.

I made some big mistakes.

Is it just me,

or do you hate the way your
shorts feel when they get wet?

- I actually kind of like it.

- Really?

Eee-yiii.

- What a waste.

This could have been something really big.

- No, see that's what kills me.

- Yes!

I feel like you!

I would love another chance.

I know we could do better!

- Where the hell you think you're going?

- It's eight o'clock, I'm going to work.

- Hey, hey, wait!

What work?

We walked, they shut down.

And what are you doing with him?

- Kaz?

He's going back to work with me.

- Aren't you in enough trouble already?

- Where's you uncle?

- Ramada Inn coffee shop

eating silver dollar pancakes.

- You tell your uncle

that we made a deal with these men.

By 7:30 tomorrow, there'll be 15,000 cars.

You tell him if he's a man of honor,

he will keep his promise

and give these men their raises.

- Certainly.

I will tell him you said that.

- Now!

- My wife had baby girl.

- Congratulations.

- Well, we still have 1,000 cars to build.

Kaz and I just thought we'd
go in there and knock 'em off.

- 1000 cars?
- Yeah?

- The two of you?

- Yeah, we're gonna skip lunch.

This shouldn't be too bad.

Hell, these at the end of the
line here are almost done.

- What are they doing?

- They're building a car.

- Hey, Hunt.

- This whole thing is an
insult to my intelligence, man.

- Is that possible?

- Really, I'm ser--

Okay, ha-ha-ha.

You know what he thinks.

He thinks we're gonna
see him working in there

and we're gonna rush right in to help.

- Okay, there's one.

What'd that take us?

15, 20 minutes?

- Four hours.

- Why?

Just tell me, why is he doing it?

- That's easy.

He just wants to look good for the Japs.

To cover his ass.

- I don't buy that.

- Give me another reason.

- I'll tell you what.

Maybe he's just trying to save this town.

Hey, Hunt.

- We're here.

- Yeah!

- No, not here, here, here.

Here, here, here, and here.

Got it?

- We could use another man on the wipers.

Hunt-san, Sakimoto-san is here!

How are things going?

- Ito says we're coming in short.

- It's close, but we're going so fast,

it's difficult to count
accurately, but we look short.

- Okay, okay.

By 7:30, he's going to
start counting cars.

While he counts the cars,

we can--
- We keep building them.

Right.

Good idea, okay, great.

Now look, boys.

On the last few,

we might have to cut a
few corners, all right?

- All right.

- Just little things, like

engines.

- Maybe I will not take
the trouble to count.

I understand you question my honor.

- I did not question it.

I counted on it.

- Human forklift coming through!

- Okay, get this one down off the jacks.

No, no, no, one bolt, not 4 bolts.

- Hey, Pack, don't bolt them now.

Just stick them on.

We'll do that tomorrow.

- Good question.

Let's go find out.

- Is that it?

- He's coming!

- Hey, where you fellows been?

We've been standing around
a couple of hours, I guess.

Something like that, right?

Waiting for you cowboy.

Oop.

Whoops.

There you go.

- Well.

There they are, more than enough.

Drinks are on me.

- Safety glass.

Ow, my head!

- I will make a list of everything

that is wrong with these cars.

- Hey, wait a minute.

Are you leaving?

- Yes.

- Just like that?

- You were six cars short.

- Oh, okay.

Six cars short.

Okay.

- Hey, I'll tell you something.

You're making a big mistake.

- Why did you say that?

- Why do I say that?

Let me tell you

about the state championship
game in Pittsburgh.

- Oh, my God!

- It's the championship game.

We're down 16 points going
into the the fourth quarter.

People got up and left.

They're going home, right?

Those people

just happened to have missed

the greatest comeback

in the history of that tournament.

You get my point?

- Not at all.

- Look, if you walk out that door,

you're gonna miss a great comeback.

We're ready to roll here, Jack.

- This will never be like
a Japanese factory, Jack.

- Oh, yeah?

You're right.

Know what else?

So what?

- You failed.

- Really?

Want to know something?

I got the first cars ever made here.

I got the first car.

I don't think I want it anymore.

As a matter of fact,

here.

Why don't you take the keys, okay.

I'd rather have one of those cars.

I'd rather have one for these cars

we made together, by hand.

Your guys and my guys, together.

You know why?

'Cause those cars stand for something.

Those cars stand for
something pretty great.

I'm proud of those cars.

I'm taking one.

Gentlemen,

I'm going home in my new car.

Whoa!

I'll tell you, I thought it handled great.

- Here, Uncle.

Here is everything that is
substandard on all these cars.

That's some list!

- Good team.

- Good men.

- You will fix those before
they leave the factory?

- I will.

I will?

- I like you.

You make me laugh.

I don't see anything
wrong with these cars.

- Are you crazy?

- Congratulation!

15,000 cars.

- Yeah!

- Nephew.

Good luck in your new job.

- Let's rock.
