Listen, Mr. Shamoto.

Want to see a rare fish I've imported?

You know the Ultra Scarlet?

- Uh-huh...

- Go, honey. I'll take care of the shop.

Get in!

Sorry, but I need to discuss

something with my wife.

Too bad, what a shame!

What a happy couple!

I'll see you soon.

Thanks for driving her home!

How can you turn him down?

What do you mean?

He's imported some fish

from the Amazon.

They're very rare and precious

tropical fish.

He's planning to farm the fish.

He wants you to be his

business partner.

He told me it would be a

good enterprise.

Really.

You're not interested in business.

- Taeko.

- What?

Do you remember the planetarium?

What about it?

I've been thinking about

how we went there...

And?

I want to go there with you again.

Don't ignore Mr. Murata's proposal!

He knows what he's doing.

We just met yesterday.

It's going too fast...

He's taking care of Mitsuko.

It's too good an offer to refuse.

Talk to Mr. Murata just once, please!

He said he could make

tens of millions!

- Tens of millions!

- Right.

I think you should be friends with him.

Mr. Murata is always thinking about

what he can do for us.

I know but...

And he understands you very well.

He's incredible.

If we are all to be happy.,

we have to take this step.

...right.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello.

Mitsuko...

It looks like an alligator, Mr. Yoshida

but it's a garpike.

I ate one once for the hell of it.

- Tasty?

- Sh*t, no!

Hello.

Mr. Shamoto, thanks for making

yourself available!

Mr. Shamoto?

This is Mr. Yoshida.

He's my business partner.

I'm Shamoto, nice to meet you.

Hello, my name is Tsutsui.

I'm Mr. Murata's legal consultant.

I've already told them

about you, Mr. Shamoto.

Don't worry, I didn't mention our secret!

What's that about?

Come on, Mr. Murata!

What are you ashamed of?

We Japanese men do nothing

that makes us feel guilty.

Yuko! Is Mitsuko's working hard?

Yes, she is. Right, Mitsuko?

Mr. Shamoto, come over here.

I have a male and a female arowana.

They're 10 million yen each.

We can make billions by breeding them.

I had to pay a lot for them

in the Amazon.

I fought for a discount but

they don't come any cheaper!

So gentlemen, you are here today

for a special occasion.

I want you to meet our new

business partner.

Mr. Shamoto is a very reliable man.

I'm very happy to have him on board.

Mr. Yoshida, we have another

decent man joining us

on our lucrative investment.

Are you sure this fish is

worth so much, Skipper?

Oh, not that again!

As we're the first,

it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Only the first one wins.

My company, Amazon Gold,

backs it 100%. We can't lose.

What does Mr. Shamoto think?
