(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.
