Last chance.

Bye!

- Hi, Mary Anne.

- Hey Jess, how're you?

- I already've your coffee and donuts.

- Oh yeah, thank you. - Alright.

Where's Hachi?

Hey, Hachi.

Ah, here he comes.

Oh, I'm happy to see you.

Why did you bring the ball for?

Why you giving me the ball?

You want to play catch?

Here, here... here.

Wait... wait!

Here boy. Go get it!

Go get it. Go get it!

Quite good. Now, bring it back.

Oh... that's it.

That's what I wanted.

Try another one. Big one.

Big long one.

Okay, go get it. Go on!

Good boy!

Oh yeah, now bring it back.

Okay, come on... come on.

Come on!

Come on. Oh, what a good boy.

What a good boy.

Aren't you the good boy?

You see that.

Hmm.

Threw the ball, he brought it back.

First time he fetch. A real fetch.

Congratulations.

Thanks you. Good boy!

Okay, gotta go work.

Come on, take the ball.

First time!

Heh, first time!

No... wait, Mr. Professor! Wait!

I'll make you a coffee right now.

Alright.

Sorry, I'm late today.

Did you see what he did?

I threw the ball, he brought it back.

It was a fetch.

No, no, no.

You keep the ball.

Do you want me to have that?

I can't play now.

I've got to go to work.

I've got to go to work.

I'll take the ball, alright.

- Okay.

- Here you go.

- Okay, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- See you at 5.

- I will be here.

Okay! Go home Hac... go home.

Alright... come here!

Come here... come here.

Okay, it's alright.

See you at 5 o' clock, alright.

Here you go. Hey, go home, go on.

You think it was better that time?

Laughter.

(Inaudible)

Alright, you remember we were

talking about John Philip Sousa,

a great March composer

at the turn of the century?

He... very famous man but he

had a huge thing about...

... recorded music. He never

allowed his music to be recorded.

Even when Thomas Edison

came to him

with his brand new invention

- the phonograph.

But Edison's didn't care, he

went ahead and did it anyhow.

He secretly recorded his

marching band in a parade.

I guess makes it the very

first boot-leg.

So what do you think about that?

Do you think Sousa was right?

Do you think it's okay now?

What about today's performance,

will you be able to just walk up...

to the middle of the stage,

plug in your CD player to a Marshall

Stack and that's it, good enough?

I don't know.

I am a lot older than you but

I tend to think that

there's an element of music...

... that cannot be capture.

Life cannot be capture.

The human heart cannot

be captured.

The moment of creation

itself is fleeting.

Oh my God!

What's wrong with him?

It looks like a heart attack.

Hey Hachi... how're you doing?

Hey Hachi.

See you tomorrow, Hachi.

Good night, Hachi.

Hey, buddy.

You ready to go home?

Yeah.

Hey, Hachi.

Are you alright?

And that's how he did it?

Sorry, I'm learning.

Andy! Time to go... sweetheart.

Good boy. You stay here, okay.

We'll be back.

I've said that the soul is

not more than the body.

And I have said, that the body

is not more than the soul.

And nothing, not God is greater

to one than one self is.

I hear,

behold God in every object

that understand God not

in the least.

Nor do I understand who's there

can be more wonderful than myself.

In the faces of men and women,

I see God and in my own face

in a glance.

I find letters from God

dropped in the street

and everyone signed by

God's name.

But I leave them where there are

for I know that wherever I go,

others will constant comes.

Forever and ever.

Look, you don't have

to wait anymore.

He's not coming back.

Alright Hachi,

you do what you've to do.

Come on... buddy.

Come on... let's go.

Come on boy, come on.

Come on Hachi.

Come on Hachi.

You're gonna be with us now.

Let's go... come on.

Alright, time to go, Ronnie's waiting.

Come on.

Let me get that for you, sweetie.

Come on, Hac, up, up up.

Here we go.

What a good boy.

Come on Hachi.

Watch your head.

Watch your head!

Good boy!

Hey, there's my guy!

Andy!

- Yeah?

- Hachi!

Hachi!

- Andy!

- What, dear?

Hachi! Hachi! Come back here.

Hachi!

Hachi...come on!

Hachi!

Hachi!

Inaudible dialog

Hey, looks like we got the

first visitor.

Hey there buddy! Come to

welcome us to our new home?

We started from the top,

where almost everything is ready.

Yeah, but something

with the basement too?

The cellar has long

been ready.

Donut with chocolate icing.

No, I don't like chocolate.

Hey Hachi,

what are you doing here?

Look it... look it!

He's staying right in the

same spot.

- I thought he moved away.

- He did.

- He looks hungry, huh.

- You're a softie, Jess.

We must give him a little.

Hey, Hachi! Want a hotdog, bud?

Come on, boy.

Hachi!

Maybe he don't likes your

cooking, Jess.

This is Jess special. Come on, lick it.

You'll like it. It's good for you.

Where did he comes from?

Just show up.

Come on boy! Eat it.

Oh... you better be careful. Hachi

got hotdogs in there older than you.

Don't listen to them.

Hachi.

Oh, God.

Hi! Oh... hi, I was so worried

about you...

I need you.

And why does she just

hanging around him for?

This the professor's daughter.

He probably lived with them.

And Hachi ran out?

Disappeared?

Oh, dear God...

Will you come home with me?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, she took it.

It's alright. It's okay.

It's okay.

- Come on, come on

- Let's go, buddy.

Thank you very much.

Thank you!

- That's the best stuff.

- Alright, get me a coffee.

Jess, come on, pour me a coffee.

I think of him too, everyday.

Hey.

You know we love you Hachi.

We want you to stay here with us.

If you've to go, that's okay too.

Okay!

Bye, Hachi.

Good afternoon, Hachi.

Hey Hachi, here you go.

Don't tell Myra, alright!

Good night, Hachi.

- Good morning, Jess.

- Hello, how are you?

- I think a big hot dog and

two donuts. - Okay.

Be careful, it's hot.

Lucky, let's go!

Come on, sweetie.

Hey, Lucky!

- Your coffee, enjoy your meal.

- Here girl. Come on Lucky, let's go.

- Oh, excuse me, sir. - Uh-hmm?

- That dog out there...

Yeah?

Is that the dog that I've been

hearing so much about?

What's it to you?

Oh, I am sorry. I'm Teddy Barnes,

I'm with the Metro The Call.

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot

of talks about him on the train.

I don't know. Sounds like

it could make a good story.

That's Boilils, Carl Boilils.

B-o-i-l-i-l-s.

- Yes, there's no 'Y' in there.

- Got it.

I'm the one that found him,

handed him over.

Oh yeah?

So Carl... where does he live?

Well... we're not really sure.

He comes and goes.

- Nobody bothers him?

- No, we put up with him.

He just does what's he is doing.

Mind if I take a picture?

For the newspaper.

Oh, I don't mind,

Hachi don't mind?

Thank you very much.

Very nice... very nice.

Er... one without first please.

Not the dog, alright.

Stay there.

Hmm... No, I...

- Oh yeah, alright.

- I appreciated it.

That's very kind of you.

Okay, nice and easy.

- Oh yeah!

- Yeah... yeah.
