"Good morning!" "Champagne in the middle of the day?" "It's alright for some." "Tasting for tomorrow's show." "Want some?" "If that's okay." "Sure." "Here are the press clippings." "Thank you." "What do you think?" "It's Krug." "Typical 'Enrico Dandolo'!" "No other label gives this stuff to the press!" "Times like these, we've got to keep up appearances." "I heard a rumor." "Ataka Trading's pulling the plug on your deal." "What?" "That's hardly likely." "Maybe." "Aren't you going out with their Okano-san?" "Doesn't he tell you anything?" "It's just rumor." "Our spring collection sold well." "So they say..." "Can't we shift that Enrico dandolo spring stuff?" "You mean, just dump it, Okano-san?" "Sure." "Remember to rip off the label." "Discount stores, wholesalers." "Get rid of all 2,000." "Hello." "Delivery." "Mr. Ota, sign here, please." "OTA" "You wanted to see me?" "Cleared up the Enrico Dandolo matter?" "Taken care of." "And the fall collection?" "We just paid 3 million." "It's shipping now." "That's not good." "Their CFO just quit..." "Pull the plug... call in our debts." "This is my department's problem." "You stay out of it." "407, Hosokawa here." "Finished in Shibaura." "Thank you." "407 Shibaura done." "407, to Shimbashi!" "407, Shimbashi, please!" "Shimbashi, got it." "No way!" "Get lost." "Take a look at this." "What?" "Know who this is?" "'Tim Grey'; only world-class designer not exporting to Japan." "That dirty bastard?" "Say something?" "Nothing." "Are you coming to bed?" "Not yet. 30 more minutes." "You go ahead." "Hey there!" "Enrico Dandolo really suits you." "So, do you like the champagne I chose?" "Yeah, not bad." "It's '89 Krug Clot du Menil." "Worth every penny at $500 a pop." "There's someone I want you to meet." "Hold these..." "ENRICO DANDOLO BANKRUPT" "Two days earlier than I expected..." "It really suits you." "Really." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Okano here." "What?" "I'll be right there." "What's up?" "!" "It's about to start!" "Are you sure?" "What's going on?" "Where are you going?" "How come you left it so late?" "!" "We put 3 million for the Fall collection." "We're working with Citibank to get it back." "What are our prospects?" "They'll close the 12 department store locations..." "And we'll take care of the flagship store." "And from now on?" "Well, er... we..." "Okano's leaving for New York tonight, to scout for a new brand." "Right." "Huh?" "Out of the way." "What are you doing?" "We're from Ataka Trading." "We're seizing assets as collateral against our investment." "Over here!" "But nobody told me anything!" "Where in New York am I going?" "The offices of Tim Grey." "Do you think we stand a chance?" "The ground work's done." "See how it goes." "Okay." "Thanks." "One more thing." "Naomi Shimizu." "What about her?" "Housing... car..." "lifestyle." "You helped her use company cash." "Let me explain." "What are you going to do?" "Do?" "First things first." "Gotta save my own neck." "She's up to you." "So I can do what I want?" "Sure." "Take care of it." "I've already got it planned." "Shit." "Too late." "Messy room." "For a chick." "That leaves the Alpha Romeo downstairs." "It's Okano." "Sorry I can't come to the phone..." "Just when I need you..." "Look what you've done to my car!" "Are you okay?" "Sorry." "I was in a hurry." "Shouldn't I get an ambulance?" "Damn!" "Could you deliver this for me?" "Do what?" "It's late." "Mr. Yoshioka..." "loan section..." "that bank over there." "They've got to have this by 3pm." "First, let me call you an ambulance." "Wait!" "I'll be fine." "You don't look fine." "They're waiting for it." "Please." "For Chrissakes." "Okay." "Just hand it over, right?" "This is for Yoshioka of finance." "Please wait a moment." "Get a move on." "I'll keep a look out for her." "That won't be necessary." "Naomi Shimizu, right?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Apartment, car, cell phone..." "it all belongs to Ataka Trading." "You're from Ataka Trading?" "So, you'd know Okano." "Where is he?" "He's abroad." "He told me to clear this up." "Clear what up?" "Neither he, nor the company wants anything to do with you." "What are you talking about?" "Okano wouldn't do this!" "Give it back!" "Let me have it!" "You asshole!" "If it helps my company, you can call me what you like." "Let's ask her to leave." "Get Okano!" "Ouch!" "What have I done?" "Oh, thank you." "That's enough." "Let go!" "So you're the hit-and-run." "'Hit-and-run'?" "What the hell's going on?" "Sorry." "Just when business was taking off." "Now the motorbikes will get all our new clients." "Maye it's time to call it a day." "When we began... we said we'd quit if the other got hurt." "Maybe we've reached that point..." "We're just piling up debts." "Best to quit now..." "Hang on..." "Did my lips move?" "Reached what 'point'?" "Only Japan still relies on motorbike couriers, right?" "Bicycle messengers are bound to catch on." "So relax." "Just worry about getting better." "Um..." "Leave it me." "I'll take your customers." "No sweat!" "Gotta get going." "When was this 'hit-and-run'?" "He asked me to deliver something." "No present abode?" "I was thrown out today." "No employment." "The company just folded." "No insurance." "We checked." "They're all cancelled." "That asshole." "No address, job, insurance..." "You picked a great time to cause an accident." "Come in." "Excuse me." "We contacted him." "Broken leg." "It'll be 2 months." "Shigekazu Yokota?" "I know this guy!" "He'll probably settle out of court." "Out of court?" "Here he is." "Yokota, you still alive?" "Shimano-san!" "Riding like that, I knew you'd end up here one day." "Here she is..." "You're looking better than expected..." "Smashed your leg?" "They'll patch you up." "Don't worry..." "I'm Naomi Shimizu." "No business card, 'hello' will have to do!" "Nice of you to come..." "So, about this settlement..." "It'd normally be cash, but I'm clean broke." "But there are more important things..." "like kindness..." "You have my complete support..." "I'll do everything I can." "Er... thank you." "Glad we've sorted that out." "So, take care then!" "Wait a second." "What?" "Anything else I can do?" "You said you'd do anything... yeah?" "Well, surely not..." "You don't mean..." "I'd have to think about it..." "Would you take over my bike-messenger route?" "Until I get better." "So we keep our new clients." "That's the settlement." "You will do it, won't you?" "Is that all?" "I wondered what you meant..." "Who does he think I am?" "Me?" "Doing shit like that?" "So, you don't want to settle?" "Of course not!" "No way." "You said you've got nowhere to stay." "Yeah, I was kicked out." "How about staying at my place?" "Really?" "Is that okay?" "That's not really fair." "You're going to press charges?" "If they can't settle it out of court..." "Wait." "Wait a minute!" "Hello?" "Could you get the manager?" "I believe it's Suzuki." "My name's Naomi Shimizu." "I'm a new partner here." "I don't really work in places like this but... it's better than jail." "Maybe it'll be interesting..." "Er..." "Yes?" "Who are you?" "I told you." "Naomi Shimizu." "I won't say it again." "Get the manager, okay?" "It's me." "I'm Suzuki." "Really?" "As you heard from Yokota, his bike scraped my car and he broke some bones." "I'm standing in for him, until he recovers." "You hit him; you should..." "Pottering around on these?" "Easy enough." "Got one with a motor?" "That'd be best." "Bicycles are faster." "Are you nuts?" "I don't like you." "Clear off." "Hello, Tokyo Express." "Sorry." "We're going to be late." "Yokota fell and hurt himself." "Ut I'm handling his deliveries." "2pm?" "That's a bit tough." "If it was 3pm... no, that's no good either." "Please, wait a minute!" "I'll make it!" "He hung up." "Changing room's over there." "It's such a tacky shirt!" "It's bright to stop you getting hit." "And this bag." "It's in the way!" "Wear it like this." "What's up with these shoes?" "They clip into the pedals." "What a nuisance..." "It's more efficient." "Like this." "This is easy!" "Follow me and remember the way." "Fussy jerk." "It's just a bicycle." "Wow!" "Wait for me!" "Why're you making me do this?" "Oh, by the way... do y'know how to stop?" "Of course I frigging do!" "Any idiot knows that!" "I can't release them." "Best do it before you stop." "Thanks for telling me." "Wait!" "Terai Printing" "That's a shame, isn't it?" "Well, I got a replacement." "Should be no sweat." "A replacement?" "Hi there." "Please to meet you." "Don't move." "Stay there." "Wait for me!" "Did you see that?" "Wasn't that Naomi?" "No way..." "I couldn't ride another inch." "That's it for today." "Women are over there." "Why a public bath?" "Couldn't we go to a health spa?" "Sunburn!" "So I took off in pursuit, but I forgot how low that Sengakuji tunnel is." "Smashed the roof in." "What a thing to do, just before I retire." "Once the melanin binds to the epidermis there's no getting rid of it..." "Especially in your 30's." "Not that I'm there yet, but... how's the new apprentice?" "Better not to ask." "What are you doing here?" "This is my regular spot." "Two beers, please." "What's this?" "After a hard day, gotta have beer." "This is what it's all about!" "You are joking?" "You can't choose what I drink." "Krug Grand Cuvée if you don't have Vintage." "Kroog?" "Champagne." "The very best." "Veuve Clicquot?" "It'll have to do." "Champagne." "How can people drink anything else?" "What sweaty jerk would want beer..." "Has it been like this all day?" "The whole world revolves around her." "I'm beat." "Pay my check, I'm going home." "'Home'?" "Wasn't it, 'no present abode'?" "So, then." "Getting me back to your room, huh?" "You and Yokota, that's all you're after..." "Wait a sec..." "Let's get something straight." "For a girl like me, we're talking three posh dinners and then a luxury hotel." "You can't just skip the process and get straight to it." "Did my lips move?" "Here's the key." "Use it 'til he gets better." "He?" "Isn't it your room?" "It's Yokota's." "Tomorrow 8am." "Don't be late." "Hello, it's Terai Printing." "We need an urgent delivery to a client." "Hello?" "Why so many damn hills?" "Oggi Fashion Magazine" "Excuse me." "I've been trying to find you." "Where've you been?" "Where?" "Well..." "I'm with a new company." "It's been very busy." "A new company?" "Fashion..." "PR..." "I was headhunted." "And that package?" "This is... um..." "Somebody asked me to deliver it." "Here." "Have you got a tan?" "A tan." "Yes, I was..." "Um... on Bora-Bora for a few days." "I'm late." "Got to meet a new designer at the airport..." "So crazy busy." "Shouldn't I sign for it?" "Bicycle messenger service." "Please take one." "Please take one." "Please..." "Hey." "This is our territory." "We don't want you scuttling around." "Got it?" "What kind of bike is this?" "Doesn't even have a mud-guard..." "For Chrissakes." "Tokyo Express." "Where the hell have you got to?" "I'm so sorry." "About that settlement." "Can we call it quits?" "What the hell do you mean?" "!" "Okay, clear out and go back home!" "Don't talk to me like that!" "What about your dream of being a photographer?" "If you don't have the guts for city life, go home." "You, of all people, should understand." "What?" "Bike messengers will never catch on." "But Japan's the only country still relying on motorbike couriers." "If we keep at it, bicycles will become the norm." "And you really believe that?" "Yumiko." "Take this back." "I'll be on the 3pm bus tomorrow." "Look after yourself." "Gotta go." "Excuse me." "I'll come back another time." "Beer." "With much appreciation for all you've done..." "I regret to say I'm handing in my resignation." "You can't stop me, once my mind's made up." "Don't worry, I'm not asking for redundancy pay." "If you'll excuse me." "Hang on." "What?" "Did my lips move?" "I never expected much of you." "Why the hell not?" "Don't get too snobby about it." "It's just riding bicycles." "What do you mean, 'just'?" "You don't understand." "Understand?" "I more than understand." "Rushing all over the place, making less than $50..." "Arriving covered in sweat for not even a 'thank you'?" "We're not giving out gifts, looking for thanks..." "Japan is the only place where couriers use motorbikes." "So?" "Isn't that easiest?" "You're living in dreamland." "That's why everyone quits." "What happened at the hospital?" "Nothing." "So, if you don't expect anything from me..." "I'll quit and try to get into PR." "Another beer." "You're Naomi Shimizu?" "I had to come back for this." "It's the first camera I bought in Tokyo." "Tokyo Express's first day." "Everyone looks so young." "Here." "Thank you." "I don't know how to put this..." "Maybe it's all my fault." "And I feel bad." "That's alright." "I'd already decided to leave Tokyo." "Really?" "I wasn't much of a photographer anyway." "It was an excuse to get away from home." "Yokota had a proper job lined up." "But joined his buddy in this business." "It went well at first." "But the motorbike couriers squeezed them out." "Their friends all quit." "I was worried but Yokota told me to stay out of it." "Towards the end, we were always fighting..." "Maybe it's not my place to say but... perhaps with some time apart or..." "Forget it." "Maybe if he'd asked me not to go..." "But it's fine." "Sorry to have bothered you." "Tokyo Express... er..." "Naomi speaking." "Delivery?" "I'm off today." "Yokota?" "Could you hand this to Yumiko?" "Hand it to her?" "She's going back to Nagano." "Tokyo bus station. 3pm." "Make sure she gets it before she leaves." "Wouldn't it be better if Suzuki took it?" "I can't worry him with anything else." "Damn, it's early." "It ain't my fault." "I can always mail it." "'Make sure she gets it before she leaves... '" "'Maybe if he'd asked me not to go... '" "'But it's fine..." "I'm going... '" "For Chrissakes." "Wait!" "Bus." "Wait!" "Out of the way." "Wait!" "Bus, stop!" "Stop the bus!" "I'm telling you to stop!" "Stop the damn thing!" "Just a minute!" "What are you doing here?" "Whatever." "Take this." "Hello?" "Okay." "Alright." "I'll come back." "Thank you." "Beer." "I said 'beer'." "What the hell are you doing?" "This isn't mine." "Get me a champagne, like always." "That's the good stuff." "After a hard day, it's Veuve Clicquot." "You stopped Yumiko leaving?" "Yokota told me on the phone." "I felt obliged... since I broke his leg." "I haven't decided not to quit..." "Don't get the wrong idea." "It ain't so simple." "I don't like riding the damn things." "Hang on." "Yes?" "Did my lips move?" "What is it with you and bicycles?" "What do you mean?" "You could use anything, right?" "Why use a bicycle?" "Remember when you first learned to ride?" "I was so thrilled." "To be able to go so fast, get so far away..." "How can I put it...?" "Like there was nothing I couldn't do." "I still feel that way." "This is all way too personal." "I meant, what's the business logic behind it." "Damn amateurs." "No business sense at all." "I'm giving out these flyers." "There's no point chucking these about." "Sales is all about defining your market." "Focus on companies looking to cut costs." "In the world I'm from, there are people who'd sell their own mothers to save the company cash." "It pisses me off when I think of that asshole." "Hey." "Introduce me to him." "There's no guarantee he'll give us work." "Besides I don't want to see him." "Ataka Trading's just up here." "No, it's past the station." "Past it?" "Let's turn left here." "We'll have to use the bridge, unless you want to cross the tracks." "There's a short cut." "You might have warned me!" "Jerk!" "What's up with that?" "What?" "What about sunburn?" "It feels better like this." "Is Ota-san here?" "I'm afraid he's not." "Audit department..." "Ota-san?" "I'm at Citibank." "Get that contract over here." "Can you take this, too?" "Yes, of course." "Excuse me." "It's Naomi Shimizu." "Nice to talk to you again." "I thought we had concluded things." "I totally agree, however... unfortunately I find myself, working as a bicycle messenger." "We're cheaper than anyone in a 10km radius." "I'd love it if Ataka Trading would use us." "No." "It's cheap, but in today's world speed counts for everything." "So, I turn you down." "Give the phone back." "I told you." "Where should it go?" "To Ota, at the Citibank HQ." "Urgent." "Right away." "Hey, you..." "I'm busy, you take this one." "Surely you wouldn't deal with these losers?" "Who are you calling 'loser'?" "Hey, hey." "In business, we keep our cool." "Sorry about this." "He's just young." "Times must be hard with you." "Why?" "Can't get the staff?" "Having to pull in old broads like that..." "Who's the 'old broad'?" "In business, don't we keep cool?" "Let me go." "I'll take it." "It's on its way." "And... hey!" "It's Naomi Shimizu, again." "You still there?" "If we prove we're faster, you'll give us the job?" "What?" "Lend me this!" "What are you up to?" "Get this to Mr. Ota at Citibank." "Time to prove that you're faster than them." "No sweat!" "Why are you on patrol on your last day?" "Better than being behind a desk." "That bicycle just ran the light." "Forget it." "Shall I go after him?" "No, not today." "What's this?" "A delivery from your office." "It's me." "Is she still there?" "Clear off." "Because of you, we lost the Ataka Trading account." "That's half a million bucks." "What do you have to say?" "But I..." "Get out of my sight." "I don't want to see you again." "Champagne." "What she always drinks..." "Huh?" "What the hell're you doing?" "This ain't mine." "It's yours." "Beer for me." "Look at this." "A contract." "Isn't it great?" "From tomorrow we've got a hundred daily deliveries." "We're definitely going to make some cash." "That's impossible." "What is?" "My limit's thirty drops a day." "You're kidding!" "What are we going to do?" "We can't chuck it now." "Chuck it?" "If it's too much for two, we gotta find people." "Find people?" "At twenty drops a day each, we'd need five people." "By tonight?" "Forget it." "Five people?" "How many is it now?" "How many...?" "Er..." "That motorbike guy." "Hey, you!" "Looking for revenge?" "Name's Hattori." "I just got fired." "But I gotta keep sending the cash back to my Mom..." "I'll do anything." "Please let me join!" "Shimano-san too?" "On the occasion of my honorable retirement... remembering my junior years on bicycle patrol." "You're in." "So that's..." "All five people." "Right." "From tomorrow... ah, what's your name again?" "It's Hattori." "Hey, can you ride a bicycle?" "I love to." "Here we go!" "One hundred drops a day." "You all did good today." "How many did we do?" "77 deliveries." "Motorbikes got the rest." "But we did at least 100 kilometers!" "What's this 'plus two'?" "I took over all of his." "So he didn't even do one?" "I'm very sorry." "We've got to work something out." "But what 'something'?" "Hang on." "Something's wierd." "'Wierd'?" "It's wierd that she's drinking beer." "Oh shit." "I thought you only drank champagne." "What are you doing?" "Having a BEER." "Rushing fifty times to the same place," "I'm so parched I'm dying for one." "Say what you like." "Wait a minute!" "What now?" "What did you say?" "I said 'Say what you like'." "Before that." "'I'm having a beer'." "That's too far." "After that." "'Hurrying fifty times to the same place'." "That's it!" "What is?" "If we keep passing the same point, we'd do better to link up somewhere and make it one trip." "One trip?" "For example..." "Suppose this road and this road, cross like this." "Two riders could meet and hand over the mail." "But they'd have to wait to cross the road." "Only for motorbikes." "It's easy for us to be on the same side." "Wouldn't we waste time hanging around?" "Not if someone coordinates us all by radio." "There's no engine noise so we can talk and ride." "A buddy of mine'll sell us cheap taxi radios." "We can do it!" "But who'll coordinate?" "That's gotta be me." "Nobody knows the roads like me and besides..." "'Besides'?" "As you've all noticed..." "I'm useless on a bicycle." "Tokyo Express." "Terai Printing, how are you?" "To Oggi Magazine?" "Suzuki, location?" "Meiji St., Fourth Bridge." "Can you reach Terai in eight minutes?" "No sweat!" "We'll be there in eight minutes." "Thank you." "Tokyo Express." "Ataka Trading, hello there." "Over to Dentsu Inc.?" "Just a moment." "Yumiko, location?" "West Shimbashi." "Can you make Ataka Trading in ten?" "Mr. Hashimoto, we'll be there in ten minutes." "Hattori, location?" "In Harajuku." "Roppongi crossing in eleven." "Pick up from Suzuki then Yumiko, two minutes later." "Ten-four." "Suzuki, hand over to Hattori, Roppongi crossing." "No sweat." "Yumiko, hand over to Hattori, Ikura crossing." "Naomi, location Hibiya." "Head for the Ginza 4th in four, pick up from Hattori, take it to Oggi Magazine." "Please sign here." "Thanks." "Thank you!" "Dear Mom..." "This month, we did a total of $30,000!" "Let's celebrate!" "To reaching $30,000!" "Cheers!" "Is that you, Ota?" "Do me a favor." "Get hold of Naomi Shimizu." "Not that again." "Not at all." "We need her for the Tim Grey deal." "Do you know where she is?" "As a matter of fact..." "Stay still, you're drunk." "Who's drunk?" "Don't blame me!" "You're hammered too." "Stop wobbling around!" "What?" "I've lost 3kgs since I started this!" "Hey." "I never had a chance to say it properly..." "Say what?" "Bringing Yumiko back..." "Getting more clients for us..." "I couldn't have done it by myself." "So..." "Well..." "Please... don't leave." "What are you doing?" "Watch it!" "I hurt my back!" "Are you okay?" "Of course I'm not!" "I was feeling so good but now you've ruined it." "I'll walk home from here." "Good night." "'Please don't leave... '" "You're getting out?" "Maybe next week." "But you could stay a little longer to be safe." "Naomi and I are doing fine with the deliveries." "Yumiko, you just don't get it." "Naomi-san isn't cut out for that job." "I had no choice but to ask her and I've worried about it ever since." "But she really seems to enjoy it." "I'm counting the minutes 'til I can set her free." "That's why I'm trying for a quick recovery." "Where is everyone?" "They've gone for a beer." "What are you going to do?" "I'm so tanned now." "I can't go back to my old job for ages." "It's your responsibility." "Responsibility?" "Since I can't go back, you've got to keep me..." "Working here..." "Hello, Tokyo Express." "Yes she's here." "An Okano-san for you." "You've got a nerve calling me." "Don't tell me you forgot what you did!" "What did I..." "When the company folded, you dumped me and went abroad!" "It was a misunderstanding!" "Misunderstanding?" "Company orders." "I had to be in New York." "I kept trying to reach you." "I didn't know what happened to you until I got back." "Anyway, I got the contract with Tim Grey." "We're going to resurrect Enrico Dandolo and own their franchise, and guess who's doing all the PR?" "I went to NY to get back what you lost." "Tokyo Express with a delivery from Citibank." "Okano will be in touch with you soon." "You're going to hand Naomi back to our company." "That Okano guy, what's his relationship with her?" "A sexual one." "She doesn't belong with the likes of you." "Besides, she might even make us some money." "That's all I have to say." "How come Suzuki and Naomi aren't here tonight?" "Right." "Maybe they went on a date." "Really?" "Things are getting more interesting." "Here you are." "Thanks." "Where did you go last night?" "What do you mean?" "Were you with Naomi?" "No." "I went straight back home." "I see..." "My name is Okano, Ataka Trading." "My apologies for everything." "Please accept this." "This should cover the liability of Naomi Shimizu." "Damages, medical bills, compensation." "We can't accept it." "Why not?" "It's up to her whether she goes or stays." "That's settled." "She's already made up her mind." "I don't believe you." "I'm sweating like a pig." "What are you wearing?" "!" "What're you doing here?" "Let's go, there's a lot to discuss." "I booked you into a hotel..." "But I still have some deliveries to do." "Don't tell me that's more important than Tim Grey." "That money covers the settlement." "A car's waiting, let's go." "But I made a promise after the accident, that I'd be a messenger until Yokota gets better." "I can't just quit now." "Didn't I?" "Yes, that's right." "She promised." "Yup, that's correct." "Until Yokota comes back she'll stay with us." "Right." "Hi, everyone!" "I'm back at last!" "Didn't you say next week?" "Yes." "But for Naomi's sake I discharged myself earlier." "Who's this?" "Stay out of it, you'll just complicate things." "I'm here to take Naomi for a new PR job." "Really?" "Congratulattons..." "Now that I'm back, you've nothing to worry about." "She hasn't said she's gonna leave yet!" "You're so dim, Yumiko..." "No doubt Naomi-san wants to return to the fashion business." "But she put up with us until I got better." "Why can't you understand?" "No, that's not it..." "Anyway, I'm very happy for you." "Good luck." "Uh... thanks..." "Come on, I can't waste any more time." "Say something, Suzuki!" "Go, if you want." "Nice meeting you all." "Can you give us work from your section?" "I'm sorry but I can't." "I was told only to use bicycle messengers." "Sorry." "Damn it." "Hello?" "What?" "I can't hear you..." "Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr. Okano." "His desk's over there." "Thank you." "Here's a delivery." "Could you sign?" "Excuse me, could you come over here?" "Sure, I'll be right there." "Wait a minute..." "OKANO" "Here." "Thank you." "We've booked this room for you for six months." "And these are your clothes." "What?" "They said they didn't receive it." "They were furious." "But..." "I'm sure I delivered it." "Here's the receipt." "OKANO" "Is he the guy from the other day?" "You've got the receipt?" "So what?" "One of you signed and took the contract, right?" "What the hell for?" "Your idea of revenge?" "You hate the fact I got Naomi back." "If you have something to say to me, spit it out!" "Don't mix it up with business." "Would have thought you had more pride..." "What the hell..." "I'm deeply sorry." "We both regret what happened." "We hope to work something out peaceably." "Personally I think I'm wasting my time, but since you threatened Okano with force, compensation is necessary." "Excuse me." "I don't remember calling you..." "Well, I heard of the incident and would like to make a proposal." "Hey, you have nothing to do with this!" "A proposal?" "Yes." "We'd like to have a race against Tokyo Express." "A race?" "Now that our price is the same as theirs," "I'm sure you'd have no objection if... the winner gets all your account, right?" "A replacement race." "Nobody knows the details of the delivery until we get an order." "Under equal circumstances, we'll have a fair delivery competition." "Fair?" "Don't make me laugh!" "You have 500 people and we only have four!" "You have a clear advantage over us anyway!" "Do you still call this a fair fight?" "All right." "You should know... that this is your penalty." "And you have no right to refuse it." "But, it's just not..." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have raised my voice." "Come here!" "I'll explain the rules." "The delivery is to Ataka Trading." "We don't know when or from where it'll come." "There'll be a call sometime tomorrow." "We pick up the delivery then head to Ataka." "We can take any route, any number of people." "The first person to deliver wins." "How do we do it?" "Suzuki is the fastest, he'll run the longest distance." "So he'll wait in the center of the city." "The rest disperse and cover all the areas." "We all give the delivery to Suzuki and he takes the rest." "In other words..." "Once you reach this tunnel, you win!" "Four pathetic bikes against us, 500 motorbikes!" "There's no way we lose!" "We're gonna trash them tomorrow!" "Do you hear me?" "Dismissed!" "Hey." "I've got something else for you guys." "To be on the safe side." "We can't lose this time." "Thanks." "We may be the underdog... but none of us think it was your fault." "Besides, you're the one who started this business, and I decided to join because I believed in you." "We've had our ups and downs, but I really appreciate all you've done." "So, the race tomorrow..." "I'll do anything to win." "By the way, since I got back, Yumiko and others won't talk to me." "I may be wrong, but are they angry because I sent Naomi away?" "I wasn't sure but... did you have a crush on Naomi?" "Are you kidding?" "Where on earth did you get that idea from?" "She's stuck up, rude and has no charm at all." "And she's five years older than me!" "Girls like that are after posh dinners and fancy hotels..." "Besides, I'm more worried about tomorrow's race!" "Hey." "Did my lips move?" "Tomorrow?" "Tim Grey's coming to sign the contract in Japan." "We'd like you to be there." "I'll pick you up at noon." "Okay." "It's me." "He left the airport?" "Okay, we'll be there." "I'll make sure to take Naomi Shimizu." "I'll see you later." "To Ataka Trading." "Right." "Any taxi in Shinjuku area come in?" "Something wrong?" "Nothing." "Shit, they overtook us!" "I was in a hurry and..." "Shut up." "Show me your licence." "I'm sorry but please hurry." "Your name is Hataoka..." "How lucky!" "Could you excuse me for a second?" "Hello, it's me." "There's an emergency!" "Were you caught speeding?" "Jesus!" "I told you to be careful!" "Where are you now?" "Nishi-Shinjuku?" "You're that close?" "Never mind." "I'm coming!" "Show time." "Gotcha." "Give it to Yumiko in 3 minutes at Aoyama crossing!" "Alright!" "Some weirdoes are after me!" "What?" "Yumiko, location?" "I'm at the Gaien Art Museum." "Hattori's in trouble." "Head to Sendagkya via Gaien West St." "What happened?" "Sorry, they got me!" "My bike, too." "Yumiko, location?" "By the National Stadium!" "Take out the envelope!" "Come on, just do it!" "I've taken it out, but..." "Hold it up!" "20km/h over the limit." "That'll be $100." "If you don't pay, we'll call your company." "Hey." "Chief, I'm really sorry!" "Just shut up and hand it over!" "Here." "I'm sorry..." "What're you doing?" "How're you doing, Yumiko?" "I'm heading south, Gaien West St." "It's Yokota and I'm at the Nishiazabu crossing." "Yokota, help Yumiko!" "Head towards Gaien West!" "Hang in there, Yumiko!" "Somebody, help me!" "Yumiko?" "!" "What the hell's she doing?" "Hey, don't do that!" "...The bikes are in our way." "Get the envelope from Yumiko." "Alright!" "Where?" "Hey, watch out!" "Idiot." "Gimme a break!" "Yokota, location?" "Gaien West, heading north." "Tell me exactly!" "Passing the Bell Commons building!" "Yumiko, get the envelope!" "Three" "Two" "One" "Let go!" "Gotcha!" "Way to go!" "Go after him!" "What the hell!" "A race?" "It's so ridiculous." "Wise of you to leave them." "Suzuki, at the Tengenji crossing." "Head to Hiroo, get the envelope from Yokota!" "No sweat!" "They're still coming!" "Do your best 'til you pass it to Suzuki...!" "Follow that bicycle, please!" "Come on!" "What are you doing?" "I can't go on." "Look what you've done to my car!" "What're you gonna do about it?" "Are you okay?" "Are you alright?" "No sweat!" "We're counting on you!" "Shouldn't I get an ambulance?" "Look, your leg is..." "Wait here." "Not again!" "Stop here!" "Are you going to be late for Tim Grey?" "I've made up my mind." "But you'll lose everything." "What's there to lose?" "Suzuki, location?" "Gyoran Hill." "Nearly on Route 15." "You're our only hope!" "No sweat." "Is the ambulance here yet?" "No way..." "Shit..." "Where are you going?" "Are you okay?" "I got them all and I'm heading for the finish." "Suzuki, location?" "Suzuki, location?" "Suzuki, location?" "Isarago hill." "Something wrong?" "I did my leg in, but I'm okay." "Are you both okay?" "Sure, how's Suzuki?" "He hurt his leg." "I'll soon be on Route 15." "He's losing speed." "How much further?" "Still 2km." "Can he make it?" "There's no choice." "Yes, but..." "Naomi, heading south, Isarago Hill." "Naomi?" "Come on, give me directions!" "Take Route 15 to the Takanawa post office then..." "Get the envelope from Suzuki!" "No sweat!" "Something came up but I'll be there by one." "Do your best." "Turn left there for a short-cut." "Sengakuji tunnel?" "This car is too high to get through." "I'll pay whatever it takes." "I can't be late." "Here, do it." "Please?" "Okay." "Goddamn it." "Give it to me, quick!" "Why did you come back?" "I'm asking a question!" "What does that matter!" "Come on, the envelope!" "Why?" "For Chrissakes!" "Why did you come back?" "I" "I LOVE" "I LOVE YOU" "I hope it's alright..." "Damn." "Oh, no!" "What am I going to do?" "I'll lose my job!" "It's your fault." "I've got the envelope." "Take a left to the Sengakuji tunnel." "Sengakuji Tunnel's blocked." "What?" "Who's this?" "I repeat..." "Sengakuji tunnel's blocked." "Let Naomi know." "Thank you." "She should make a detour." "But then we'll lose." "What shall I do?" "Tell me!" "There's one more short cut." "You're kidding." "That's impossible." "It's the only way to catch up." "It's our only chance." "Easier said than done." "Get out of the way!" "Out of the way!" "Come on, come on..." "Go, go, go..." "Mr. Grey regards being late as very rude." "I'm terribly sorry." "We'll show you around until he comes." "Let us take you to the lounge." "He says he'd rather start the meeting." "Right." "Then to the 5th floor conference room." "He's asking where are your executives?" "Then the 8th floor board room." "Hey!" "Are you trying to piss me off?" "And YOU!" "What's your fucking problem, huh?" "Tokyo Express is the winner." "I knew you'd be the one to bring it." "Did we win?" "No sweat." "Sure." "We appreciate the business." "Thank you very much." "We did it!" "Great!" "Ouch..." "I shouldn't mention this now but... could we settle out of court?" "Okay." "But with one condition..." "Let's make a toast!" "To our victory!" "Cheers!" "Hey, what's that?" "It's champagne." "So this the famous Krug then?" "It costs $500 a bottle." "Let's open all of them!" "Stop!" "It's too expensive!" "CHEERS!" "Hey." "What did you say?" "I asked you why you came back, remember?" "Oh, yes." "What did you say?" "I forget." "No, you don't." "Tell me." "Why does it matter?" "It's no big deal." "Then tell me." "You don't give up, do you?" "Come on, tell me." "Shut up." "There's nothing that you can't do It's too early to call it quits" "I'll give it all I got without a second thought" "And even if I lose, baby I'm OK anyway" "Greengrocer lady, Funky Satchan Cop on the corner" "Sorry!" "I love this town and I really love people" "So, show me your smile and let's get going" "Ain't no problem, no problem" "It's my show!" "No doubt!" "Ain't no problem, no problem" "It's my show!" "No sweat!" "Ain't no sweat!" "Don't you worry baby, have some faith in me" "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Suntan oil Sunburn cream" "Get some sunshine for your soul, don't be so soft on your skin" "Thunderstorm, heat waves" "So what!" "Doesn't bother me at all" "But when she gets upset" "We don't know what to do" "No email, no cell phone!" "No premium gas!" "No airplane!" "Do they really help you?" "I don't think so, From your body and soul 'Hello'" "Even though time passes by and everything becomes old school Our vibe last forever" "I used to be the Young Lord Yeah!" "You still are!" "Ain't no problem, no problem" "It's my show!" "No doubt!" "Ain't no problem, no problem" "It's my show!" "Whether I'm cool or whether I suck I really don't know" "I can't keep myself from going wild" "That's cool baby, that's what's really cool" "I'm moving everyday I'm grooving into tomorrow" "If I disappeared, this funky town" "Would forget how to dance"
