That a girl...

You think I'm smart?

Is this place Poorsville or what?

That's why I said the house

next door was better.

They're all the same.

Shirogane is the place.

We're here so...

You said we'd score here, limp dick!

I never said that.

Did so.

No man, I didn't.

Ouch! Stop it.

My, my, my balls!

Ouch! You're crushing my ribs.

My ribs...

Morishita?

What, what?

What's with you?

Keep your voice down.

Playing cards.

Cards?

Screaming over cards.

Are you a kid or what?

Let's play a hand.

We ain't playing cards.

What's with you?

I dig cards.

Don't you start too.

Owch!

May I have your name sir?

Kobayashi.

Mr. Kobayashi. What a wonderful,

loving family you have.

A beautiful daughter, handsome son

and kind, loving wife.

But we're broke.

Butt out.

Mr. Not-a-dime-to-your-name Kobayashi.

I've got more than a dime.

Mr. More-than-a-dime-to-your-name

Kobayashi, it's challenge time.

Please have a seat.

Now I'm going to hypnotize you.

If I fail, the 1 million yen is yours,

Mr. Kobayashi.

Okay.

Here we go.

Under my spell, you will become a bird.

Please look at my finger.

Do I have to?

Closing your eyes or...

not doing what I say is

against the rules.

Sorry.

Now, look at my finger.

On the count of three,

you will become a bird.

Mr. Kobayashi?

Daddy?

We won!

1 million yen!

No way?

Evening!

Who, who, who, are you?

What is your function in life?

Making chicks come.

Just kidding! I'm a hypnotist.

Otherwise, useless.

You...hurt my feelings.

Did you say 'sayonara' to your momma?

What?

Did you say 'sayonara' to your momma?

That feels good.

One more.

My dad's still a bird!

Undo the hypnotism!

I can't... Sorry...

Hey!

Yoko, why are you looking at

your watch?

No reason... What gives

with that president?

Hmm.

Don't 'hmm' me. So it's rejected?

Yep.

Don't 'yep' me.

What're you gonna do?

Maybe change it a bit.

Change what part?

Maybe bring the joke factor down.

Make the product easier to understand.

I'm out.

Huh?

You change it, I'm out.

How selfish.

What's selfish about it?

I mean it's selfish of them to...

I'm getting out.

Come on, Yoko.

Out of the cab.

Driver, let me off here.

Yoko, wait...

Hurry up.

Stop and open the door.

OK, OK... Move.

Hurry up.

Yoko.

I won't change it. If they hate it,

get someone else.

And another thing, don't call me

by my first name.

Okay.

Ready...go!

I'm beat.

Yippie!

You suck! Damnit!

Again.

Okay.

One more.

Ready...go.

Morishita!

Why the J?

No reason.

Oh?

Somebody's home!

This is bad.

J! J! J!

J, you smell good.

Call the hospital!

What hospital?

Anywhere. Just hurry!

Daddy?

Where's Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy's gone.

Daddy, come here.

This way.

Shouldn't he go to work?

How could he?

I'll worry about dad.

Okay.

Don't tell anyone at school.

Like I would.

What is your function in life?

I have none.

So who's the hit man?

Don't be asking me questions!

Don't be poking into my affairs!

Isn't it pretty damn obvious?

Does he look like a hit man?

Does this boring f***

look like a killer?

That's me, by the way.

If he could get the job done,

why the f*** would I fly here?

Figure it out man.

Don't ask me questions, you a**hole!

Keep it up and I'll hit you.

I'll whack you.

I'll hit you and kick you.

And hit you and kick you again.

I'll kick you in the balls.

I'll grease you a**hole.

Did he say all that?

Like you'd know? You don't even

speak English!

How much?

How much?

1 million yen.

Done.

But no punk gangsters.

Punk gangster?

Lately, when I make TV commercials

I team up with overseas directors.

I think their level is high.

Level...

Of professionalism.

High but worth it.

High...

Quite.

Get a foreign hit man.

Foreign...

You're the coordinator,

so get coordinating.

I'm paying enough.

Can you do it?

Do my best.

Damn straight you will.

Damn straight.

I want results.

Results...

Do...him.

I'll do him.

How much?

1 million yen.

1 million yen. That's high.

But he's a foreigner.

So...

So I brought him all the way

from London.

That ain't no reason.

1 million, huh?

F*** it. Sorry.

Can you hold on a minute?

I'll cut you a deal.

Please name your price.

1 0,000 yen.

He accepts.

You sure?

What's with that?

I got attacked by a crow.

A bird did that?

Yeah.

Did it hurt?

Not much. Maybe I'm

going overboard.

You're bleeding.

Crow beaks are sharp.

Scary, huh?

Pretty scary.

Hypnotist Murdered!

Welcome.

Pako noodles.

One order of pako noodles,

right?

Yes.

Thank you.

I love 'em.

Huh?

Pako noodles.

Good choice.

A person with a right side up and

upside down face.

The two faces fight.

Yoko's Thought Up Commercial

Italian burger meal.

Stop selfishly ordering, a**hole.

Get the pako noodles, a**hole.

You had them yesterday.

What's wrong with pako noodles?

I wanna eat 'em everyday.

You'll get sick of them.

No I won't!

Well, you listen to Ken Hirai

everyday.

I like Ken Hirai.

Well I like pako noodles.

Don't compare them to Ken Hirai.

Same thing.

No, it's not.

Same thing, a**hole!

So they're the same. You got me.

Now that's funny! I'll make a series.

Yoko's Thought Up Commercial

Rice or bread?

Rice. Rice!

Bread.

Is bread all your face can eat?

Leave my face out of it.

Rice for me, honey.

Rice, right?

Bread.

Stop it.

You stop it.

What the hell!

Don't order me around.

Whatta ya think of the music biz?

Who cares! We're not talking

about that.

We never talk anyone.

We're talking about rice or bread.

Bread for me!

What!

What is your function in life?

Hey uhhh...

Can I get a light?

Not from 'round here, are you?

Nobody 'round here comes down

this street.

You know why?

No.

Wanna know why?

'Cuz it's haunted.

The ghost's a cop.

Rides a patrol bike.

Gets close and asks for a light.

If you give it to him, you're done for.

I'm kidding man!

I had you huh?

Hook, line and sinker.

Huh? What?

Light.

Light?

My lighter.

Oh, your lighter.

I had you huh?

Hook, line and sinker?

Lighter.

I had you huh? Fooled you good.

You going?

So soon? Going, eh?

Everybody goes.

Hurry.

Help me.

Help me.

What?

Madame, this is hard to say...

What? What is it?

He seems to think he's a bird.

I know that much.

The cause seems to be hypnotism.

I know that too.

So how can you cure him?

Don't ask me, Madame.

Well Madame...

Yamaguchi, take a look.

A most unusual case.

Umm...

What do you reckon?

An extremely curious case.

Only a few like this have been reported.

In 1968, a mid 20s Afro-American

from Florida, William Oldman...

Umm...

Yes?

How can I get my husband

back to normal?

That would be a medical waste.

Right, Yamaguchi?

An utter waste.

Right.

Let us keep your husband

as a research sample.

No way!

She turned us down.

That's a shame.

This drawing here, Nakajima's.

It's well... Great but...

It's a little normal I guess.

Yeah, too normal...

But normal is good but...

Well you know.

Now Machida's drawing...

It's well... Interesting, yeah...
