(Mr. Goza) Yoshi, you did it! Good job! I had faith in you. (VP T’Poc Inc.)

            Yes, good job. Too bad you don’t work for me. They laugh. (Mr. Goza)
            No, Yoshi is loyal to me and the Goza Corp. (Yoshi) Gentlemen, from now
            on we work as a team. One united Japan. (Mr. Goza) You’re right, Yoshi.

            Come,  we  have  a  ceremony  in  your  honour  and  your  family.  Remember
            them!  Come,  enough  talk.  (Yoshi)  Gentlemen,  I  thank  you  for  your

            confidence, but I must first brief you on the deal. You see, we had to
            trick…


                          Switch to Ben and Tracey talking at Engine Joe’s.


            (Tracey) Ben, I’m scared. What if the Japanese come back tomorrow and
            say  everyone  must  move  off  their  land?  (Ben)  I’m  scared  too,  but  the

            council will come up with something.


            Across the room was Ed the Gate Guard’s son and he was talking to a
                                   group of people about the Japanese.


            (Gate guard’s son) Now we will have respect, power and most of all, a life
            worth living. (Tracey) Ben, I see that look in your eyes. Don’t bother with

            Ed today, please. (Ben) Ed, is that what you think? The Japanese will just
            come  here  and  let  us  keep  everything  after  they  paid  us  dirt  for  our

            land? Not even you could be that stupid. (Gate Guard’s son) Ben, answer
            me this. If I am so stupid, why is it that I was the one who helped Mike

            and Yoshi reach your grandfather in the first place? The Japanese will
            bring  change,  something  your  family  and  that  broken  down  council
            couldn’t do. (Waitress) Ed, I’m with you this time. Ben, Tracey, your lives

            are good. I work here six, sometimes seven days a week and don’t have a
            dime to show for it.


            (Gate Guard’s son) Ben, I told you this wasn’t over, didn’t I? I may not

            have gotten you back, but I got your family and in part, got you.  (Ben)
            No, Ed, you didn’t get me, you… (Gate Guard’s son) Yes, I did Ben. You’re

            right, I got all our people. What I got them was jobs. Look around Ben.
            No  one  cares  about  us.  We  have  been  swept  away  in  a  corner  of  the
            world. But no more. We’re back.
