"Worked for you." "Look, neither of us asked for this." "But I promised your mom I'd take care of you." "So you just go by the rules her and I agreed to," "and I'm sure you'll manage just fine."

"Well, his uncle gets a piece of the action from everyone on his turf." "We're on his turf." "50% of something is better than 100% of nothing." "So have you raced DK?" "Why not?" "Is he that good?" "What's the point of a race?" "To see if I'm better than the other guy." "Just proves you're faster, that's all." "If I were to race, it would have to be for something important."

"Your life isn't any of my business." "It's okay." "Foul!" " Ain't no damn foul." " That was a foul." " Yo, you in my face." " That was a foul." "Hey, Han, sort this wanker out." "A wanker?" "What do I look like, a zebra?" "So, how did you end up over here, anyway?" "Well, you know those old Westerns where the cowboys make a run for the border?" "This is my Mexico." "Why'd you let me race with your car?" "You knew I was gonna wreck it." "Why not?" "'Cause it's a lot of money." "I have money." "It's trust and character I need around me." "You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are." "And one car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of, that's a price I can live with."

"See, I'm not a total gaijin." "I hate that word." "It's what they used to call me when I was a kid." "I thought you were born here." "Well, "outsider" can mean many different things." "My mom died when I was 10." "She came out here from Australia when she finished high school." "And all I know about her is that she went to work in a hostess bar." "DK's grandmother took me in." "Well, my parents split up when I was three." "Me and Mom moved around a lot." "Mostly 'cause of me." "Well, it was all 'cause of me." "Kind of made myself an outsider, you know, without even thinking about it." "But I realize now, outsider or insider, it doesn't really matter." "All that matters is knowing what you really want and going after it." "We used to come up here when we were kids." "Even before we could drive we'd cut class, sneak out, come up here, and watch the older kids drift." "Things were different back then." "Once I got my license, I practically lived up here." "Back then, kids just drove whatever they had." "You know, we just made do." "No one bothered us." "The day I got my license is the day I got my first speeding ticket." "The day after that, I won my first race." "I beat this rich kid by three lengths." "I gotta admit, it felt good." "It felt like..." "Like everything else just disappears." " No past and no future." " No problems." "Just the moment." "Boy needs to chill." "Hey, Twink, I'm gonna grab another set." "Whoa!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Another set?" "No." "Look, that was your third set today." "I mean, them tires ain't cheap." "(TIRES SQUEALING)" "DK, grab a chair." "We're about to roast some marshmallows." "Yo, come on, man, look..." "Stay away from her, or the only thing you'll be driving is a wheelchair." "(SPEAKING JAPANESE)" "Find yourself a new driver." " I'm all right." " What'd you expect?" "You didn't just play with fire, you soaked the matches in gasoline." "(SPEAKING JAPANESE)" "It's over." "(SPEAKING JAPANESE)" " All this over a gaijin?" " I am a gaijin." "You've changed, DK." "You say I've changed." "But we're not so different, you and I." "We're both products of screwups, aren't we?" "They say your mom was the best trick in all of Kabukicho back in the day." "Leave my mother out of this." "If we hadn't taken you in, you'd be just like her, doing anything for a buck." "Think anyone would take a second look at you if it wasn't for your uncle?"

"Sean, don't argue with me." "I did this." "I can't run away." "I can't." "Sean, I'm your father." "I'm responsible for your well-being." "And I'm responsible for my mess." "I gotta do this." "Can you understand that?" "At least you're not redoing my mistakes." "You all right, man?" "We're leaving town." "Look, I know some people..." "I can't do it, Twink." "Look, DK wants your head." "All right?" "And the trouble you just made for Kamata?" "You're done here, bro." " Maybe I should talk to Kamata." " What?" "DK answers to him." "I know I just didn't hear that." "I gotta end this." "I'm gonna go talk to him." "What, are you crazy, huh?" "Han is dead, all right!" "Plus, you can't just walk into Kamata's place, man!" "It's all I got." "Something I think Han would've wanted you to have." "What's this?" "You're gonna need it if you're gonna make it out of Kamata's place alive." "Don't you need it?" "No, it's cool." "Look, I'll figure it out." "I'd like to see Mr. Kamata, please." "Sean." "You need to leave." "You came to the wrong place." "I didn't come here to see you." "Takashi." "Who's your friend?" "Nobody." "I can handle this." "I have something which belongs to you, sir." "You think you can walk in here, dump some cash and walk out?" "I know I'm only returning what belonged to you in the first place, sir." "But that's not why I really came." "I came here to apologize." "I know your nephew and I have embarrassed ourselves badly." "Don't listen to this gaijin." "Takashi... after everything you've done, you're giving me orders?" "I apologize." "Sir, I'm here to offer you a peaceful solution." "How do you plan to accomplish that?" "A race." "(LAUGHING)" "DK and I have caused nothing but problems for you, for us." "And I'm asking you to allow us to settle this, once and for all." "We race and the loser leaves town for good." "I've already beat this piece of shit once!" "Good." "Then it should be easy." "The cops took all the cars." "Hey!" "That's why she's spitting."
