"You're worse" "Maybe you'd better go" "A pretty unpleasant guy is here" "That crazy guy is a Minato Group man" "Ordered to find you?" "So I'll drift again?" "Leave it to me. I hate them, too I don't want to bother you. I'll drift" "No, I couldn't face Boss then" "Better than all the French, English and Americans together" "Pal" "I don't want to fight you" "If I get him, my job's done" "Look." "Tetsu's not moving" "Throw down your gun. lt's the end of the Viper" "Dead?" "Even the end of a killer isn't pleasant" "Duty-bound to Otsuka" "Tetsu, your eyes haven't changed since we last parted I owe you a debt for saving me, but I hate ingratitude" "Be friends I like him. I want to save him the pain of being betrayed I know, but Kurata can be trusted" "What shall we do?" "Compromise?" "He didn't lose on the building" "But he killed Yoshii" "Otsuka's idea, so he must have thought it over lt's not a trap, is it?" "Let's see him, then we can take it or leave it" "All right, shall we try?" "Rub out Tetsu?" "How can I do that?" "The Minato Group reports that Umetani is hiding him" "So what?" "Umetani can rub him out, then you and I can be friends" "Promise, and you can have this" "Boss, ask him about other conditions I've two more." "The building is yours." "Lease it to me for twenty million" "ln what?" "Cash" "And the other condition?" "Give me Chiharu" "But she's Tetsu's" "That's why I want her" "Tetsu's dead" "Dead" "He'll be rubbed out, anyway." "She'll give up" "Take it" "Tetsu's the problem lf he's arrested, we'll be in trouble" "We'll both end up in prison" "Boss, better guard against that" "Tokyo calling" "Mr. Kurata?" "Yes, Tetsu's fine" "Rub him out, or you're in trouble" "But Tetsu's..." "Never mind. I'll send men, too." "Kill him" "Understand?" "He's back" "Poor boy" "Otsuka's going?" "l don't know" "The police?" "Don't you see?" "Tetsu's dead" "Slam Mr. Kurata and you'll pay for it I'm staking my life" "He wouldn't join hands with Otsuka and rub me out" "Don't disillusion me I know, so get out of here." "Umetani may kill you" "Stop it, or I'll really get mad" "Even Umetani's bound by ties." "He'll kill you" "If you don't get it, return to Tokyo" "Sure. I want to see the truth for myself I'll hold him" "Thanks" "Mr. Umetani" "At first I meant to kill him" "Then I wondered who would profit from it I'll tell him how you felt some day" "He's decent" "But it's hard to handle that sort when they become furious" "He'll do it. I really don't want him to" "But he'll have to go through it once" "Chiharu!" "You can't make her sing I will. initial training is important" "Stop!" "You let Tetsu die." "What will you do with her?" "Chiharu, I'll take you home" "Sing, or he dies" "Betrayer!" "Get my men!" "I'll break up this hell, or there's no future for me" "Drop your gun" "A boss's true colours?" "It's one of those things." "Die" "Boss, I've no choice" "Take it in memory of me" "I'm not your man any more" "A drifter doesn't need a woman" "I can't walk with a woman" "Flowers that say good-bye to dreams" "Wlther, and the dreams will die lf l die, I'll die like a man" "For me, loyalty comes before love I'm a Tokyo drifter"
