(Blackfoot) Ben, why do you look so unhappy? You are a child, enjoy life.
(Ben) Grandfather, I keep thinking of a monster that will kill our people.
(Blackfoot) What monster? (Ben) He’s evil. I don’t know why or how, but
he’s going to come and get me if I’m not ready, and I’m not.
At that moment, Ben runs and hugs his grandfather and Tracey.
Switch to Mike and Yoshi at the auction.
(Mike) Yoshi, you know the drill. Sign up and we’ll play good guy bad guy
game. (Yoshi) Let’s do it. (Mike) This is the plan: I’m signed up already,
so remember, you have to sign up as a guest of the Kelly Corp. and then
we’ll block all bids. (Yoshi) Mike, you’re a whiz at this. I worry about your
cunning. Mr. Goza thinks that this deal will take 4 to 7 days to secure and
we’ll have it done within a matter of hours. If I know you we’ll be
someplace far out of sight by the a.m., with two fine ladies. Am I right?
(Mike) Would you put your dick away for a moment – we have work to do
here.
At that moment, they go to register and Yoshi is told he can’t buy
any land due to the US block on how much land the Japanese can
purchase.
(Auctioneer) Good afternoon, sir, and welcome. Please sign here and list
your host. He signs. (Auctioneer) I’m sorry, Mr. Kim, but this auction is
only for US companies. (Yoshi) What are you telling me? (Auctioneer) I’m
very sorry sir, but we can’t allow you to buy any land for auction today.
(Yoshi) Then page a Mr. Kelly of the Kelly Corporation. This is
unacceptable. I’ve come all the way from Japan to hear some two-bit
minimum wage nobody tell me my money isn’t welcome?
At that moment, Mike walks into the scene
(Mike) What’s the hold up? Sign it and let’s go. (Yoshi) This person has
informed me that no Japanese are allowed to bid on the site today.
(Mike) What kind of fucking prejudice is this? How could you say this?
(Auctioneer) I’m sorry. I didn’t set the policy, I’m just doing my job.
