she would have gone to jail.

It would have ruined her life.

And so yes, he gave her a pass.

I knew you think it was noble.

The code of the warrior.

- Do you think it is noble?

- No, I think it is correct.

Well, that's fine. Except, as

we reported the wind blew in the window.

It was an act of God and not covered

under a specific policy.

And so, until we find the money

we have to live with a broken window.

And you tell me how that

brings money into your business.

Hello.

Hi Niki.

Yeah.

No, I can't order the new fabric now.

No, I can't.

I can't.

Of course I am going to re-order.

Ok.

Niki, I'll see you in ten minutes, ok?

Ok, bye.

Now I have to fix the window.

Where am I getting the cash to buy the new fabric

for my business? Without which we cannot eat.

One moment.

Where did you get that cut?

Thank you.

It's for you.

What is it?

It's an invitation.

- Who is it from?

- From Chet Frank.

- Chet Frank?

- Yeah, we're invited to his house for dinner tonight.

- To Chet Frank's house?

- That's right.

Really?

- Where is Joe?

- Oh Mike, tell him, what's the best weapon in the world.

- The best weapon in the world is a flashlight.

- Tell him why.

So you can look deep in the other guys eyes.

- I heard they had a dust stop at the Sao Paula last night.

- Is that right?

- Yeah, two motherfuckers ran to Quisonar.

- You can't believe everything you hear.

F***ing Lennie and Loomis saw the tape.

They said it was better than Thai-tanic!

- We're going to ride or you still getting pretty?

- I'll be right out.

- I wished I was there Mike?

- I wish I was there too. Hey Mike.

Did you calm down because of that thing?

Thing? What thing?

I got something for you.

- No?

- Yeah.

- I don't deserve it.

- Yes, you do.

The belt is just symbolic.

The belt, as Snowflake says, is just

to keep your pants up.

Thank you.

- One thing.

- What?

You said a reminder about the thing.

The thing with the girl,

that never happened.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Open it later.

- What is it?

Well, it's a wristwatch.

- Yours? Who's is it?

- It's yours.

I set you up with a job with my people

who did stiffed you.

- Yeah, you went to the club?

- Why you didn't tell me they weren't paying you?

- You know, I...

- Well, they paid you now.

That thing, take it.

Take your wife to the mountains.

What does the black belt mean?

- That I represent the academy.

- Then respect your teacher.

Hey, what's going on?

Who ordered this?

Who's paying for this?

Mr Terry, I'm hardly ashamed of what I did.

I am so sorry.

I will of course make it well. This is a cheque,

for the damage I did to your car.

And I would like to contact the police officer

to thank him, for what he did.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Mr Terry, I'm an attorney.

I know what the officer did.

Out of courtesy, he reframed from

actions that might have sent me to jail,

- or to some institutions.

- Hey, baby.

Hey, Richard.

Hey, who do you like in the

Morisaki fight?

- I'm sure one of them is going to win.

- A little word from a little bird.

Yeah, I don't play that.

- Well if you did, who would you like?

- I can't help you, Richard.

You sure? Because if you help me,

I am going to help you.

That's the word to the wise.

On this fight, it's sufficient to put some

groceries money in your pocket.

- Who does it hurt, Mike?

- I can't help you, Richard.

- You know as much as me.

- I know as much as you?

Mr Terry,

as you can see, I...

I have a problem,

I have something of a problem.

Is there someway,

that I can help you?

You work with the police?

I've trained the police.

And what do all the belts mean?

The white belt is someone who walks

in of the street.

The black belt is someone that the teacher

recognizes is fit to instruct.

In between we have blue, purple and brown.

What do you have to do,

to get a red belt?

There is only one.

All right, I'm not going to touch you.

But if you would have hold me,

could I strike you?

If you put your arms around me

and hold me, could I strike you?

With your knees.

If you turned your body slightly,

and grassed me

could I strike you from there?

- No. No!

- What?

- Could I strike you now?

- No.

Where can I strike you?

Don't stand there.

An enrollment form,

if you wish to continue your instruction.

Yeah.

I am looking at cinaty 7-c,

I got it.

Well, an office is good as a feast.

Ok, let's take a walk.

Come on.

Excuse me, but I have to ask you.

Where did you get your dress?

- I made it.

- Oh, she made it.

Oh, did you do your coat too?

Where did you get the fabric?

The fabric?

I made that too.

- You made that?

- Yeah, since I was a kid in Rio.

- You made the fabric?

- Yeah, I have a company in Brazil.

No, I don't believe it.

I just don't believe it.

Come and sit down. Lucy and I just

wrote a book about fabrics.

- Really?

- Yes.

We have a company.

She has her decrement in textiles.

I love this fabric.

I have some people,

my family's people in Brazil

- and their the ones that bring..

- I love this fabric.

- Really?

- Yes.

I would love..

If you guys want, I can show you more..

- I have tons of..

- Of course.

So what is Ju-Jitsu?

You use the fighters strength against him?

Yes, in a way.

You let him use his strength,

and you use your understanding.

So it's a form of wrestling?

Yeah.

- Like we see in the mixed martial arts competition?

- Yeah, that's right.

- Do you compete?

- No.

- Because...?

- Competition is weakening.

Because it's fixed.

Two guys in the ring,

people betting money.

Maybe fixed?

Anyone fight, maybe fixed.

- But you train people to fight.

- No, I train people to prevail.

In the street, in the alley

in combat.

The bodyguard, the cop, the soldiers.

One rule, put the other guy down.

Now, you have to train them

to do that and any..

any staged contests must have rules.

Everything has rules, the problem

is stick 'em to them.

Your wife, she's a beautiful woman.

Thank you.

Yes, she is.

Booz, women. What in this life

doesn't get you in trouble?

Turn to the side.

Everything has a force.

Embrace it or deflect it.

Why oppose it?

How you're doing?

You're healing up?

- I'm good.

- Well, you're young.

So there's a neck-line, the waist-line

and the hem-line. Right?

Right.

So, if you bring the hem-line down

in this direction.

- It gives a better rhythm, right?

- Yeah.

If you repeat and the fabric is..

.. one foot. Let's say.

Repeat at one foot?

That's too costly.

That's what I'm saying.

Not from my people in Brazil.

And you can get this fabric?

Absolute, and make their fabric

and have it to you in a week.

Yeah?

- He's got to be on the set in five hours.

Let's let these nice people go home.

Sure honey.

Two heroes to obey.

- Thanks, pal.

- You're welcome.

- Jerry, take care of that thing for tomorrow morning.

- You bet ya.

Movies, we get up early in the morning

like in the military.
