the same way to keep their weight down.

Drink.

- That feels good.

- What, eating?

Eating first and losing weight later.

It looks more effective

if you're fat.

So you have a job?

- Yes, salesman at a scale company.

- It sounds a bit shady.

Not at all!

It's completely above board.

I'm glad to hear that.

- So where is he working?

- At a scale company.

That's not bad.

It's quite a decent business.

Is it really?

Welcome.

Are you ready to order?

What will you have?

Coffee will be fine.

Coffee for me too.

Four coffees.

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

That's your job, a**hole.

Sorry, sir.

- Shall l?

- Never mind.

You go and buy the cigarettes.

- Yes, sir.

- Get going!

Wait a minute.

Excuse me.

Can I get Marlboros near here?

- There's a machine on the left.

- Thank you.

Hi there, Takagi.

We've begun boxing too.

I see.

Step aside.

Kanayama.

What's up?

- Whatever happened to you?

- I got beaten up.

- Who did it?

- Some odd guy.

- What guy?

- We had a bit of a run-in.

- Where is he now?

- He came with me.

Why the hell did he come with you?

All right, let's get him.

I'm thinking of giving him his debut

in the match before the main event.

- I've thought of a great ring name.

- What's that?

- "A-Bomb Boy."

- That sounds terrible.

- Why? You can be "H-Bomb Boy."

- No, thanks.

- Why not?

- That sounds corny.

Shall we have tea?

How many boys in your class

got into national universities?

None this year.

They can try again next year.

What about your class?

Well, lizuka got into Yokohama.

He worked hard.

The rest got into

private universities.

Our headmaster believes our school

can become prestigious...

but I say "Dream on."

That was good.

Remember how you used your left.

Get it into your head.

Thank you very much.

What the hell is going on?

Things are getting too sticky

on our patch.

The word's getting around.

We're keeping close touch

to find the bastards.

You d*ckheads, move your asses!

- I said move!

- Sorry, sir.

Go out there and find them.

Kazuo.

Cigarettes.

- Keep the change.

- Thank you, sir.

Wait. How's your dad?

He's fine, sir.

- And your mother?

- She's coping somehow.

Excuse me, sir.

Is that right?

Where is it?

I got it.

Kazuo. Come with me.

- Where are they?

- Over there, sir.

Them?

What are you waiting for?

Finish them off.

I said finish them off!

Go on!

Kazuo.

Take this and go to the police.

I've already talked

to the Kyushu boys.

Take some time off.

Still the same weight?

He hasn't lost an ounce.

What's up with him?

Out! Put your coat on and run.

He isn't losing his weight.

I'm afraid he's drinking.

The match is not far ahead.

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
