Playing in
such a dusty place...

They're stupid.

Watching makes us worse.

Shut up! Damn you!

Did you come to take
a crap or play ball?

Why stay in the can so long?

Good !

Can't you guys
get any points?



So far, nothing.

Watch it! Get a hit!

At least get one point.

Too bad!

We'll try harder.

Next batter?

Akira, you're next!

Akira!

l need a coach.

Someone, go!

Go coach him.

Somebody who knows
more about baseball.

What are you saying? Ass!

Just standing is enough.



You go.

Watch the ball!

Give a sign.
Turn your hand or something.

Don't just watch.

Here we go!

What are you doing?

You're coaching
the other team.

Quit! Just pick up balls!

Pitcher! Look what
you've done!

You hit him on purpose!

What if something
happens to him?

Don't get so upset.

Shut up! Apologize!

That's enough.

l'm sorry.

l'm telling him off
for your sake.

lt's your fault!

This is the last inning.

Get at least one point.

Hopeless kids!

Don't sit on my glove.

Hey, you! Pinch-hit!

He won't make it.

Two out already.

Umpire, a pinch-hitter!

Go!

l'm giving you a chance.
Hit one!

Too high! lt's a strike?

Hit the next one!
Take a chance!

Never mind.
Pick a better ball.

Charment wins 5-0.
Take a bow!

You should've swung
your bat at least once.

Why be seated?

lt's over.

We've ten minutes left.
Play catch or something.

Go away!

Swing your bat 100 times
a day. You'll improve.

Come on, let's go!

Sorry for a while ago.

You're late. What kept you?

Change clothes fast
and wash that Mercedes.

Wait a sec. l'll change.

but he's missing.

Sure.

Nobody knows where he is.

Maybe he ran.

l'll be back in half an hour.

Sure. l'll be back soon.

My car... through already?

Speak up!

You haven't done
one damn thing!

The wheels are still dirty!

But his boss will come to
settle it. What'll we do?

Yes?

Don't glare at us.

This road's wide enough.
Be more careful!

We're gangsters.
We can't go to the cops.

Just do what you can.

We're mobsters, but
l'm not here to threaten you.

We don't want to cause
a fuss in the neighborhood.

Just do what you can.

Thank you.

We'll pay the medical fee.

We're gangsters. Don't you
know what we're here for?

You did it?

Why not join us?

A gangster came.
He from the Otomo Group?

You hit his man, right?

He hit me first.

You shouldn't have
fought back.

So, he came
to bulldoze you.

What'll you do?

l'll go to their office.

You will? What for?

We'll talk and settle it.

No, you can't.

You were with Otomo, right?

Welcome!

Go with him.

What a sty!

Anyway we can drink.

Want a highball?

Can't make one?

Pork cutlet on rice.

l bet it's dirty.

Probably so.

Got an ashtray?

Shall l sing?

What's wrong?

lt was filthy!
lt absolutely reeks!

Piss outside then!

Get out!

How's business?

Today's customers are lousy.

They borrow but
don't pay back.

The world's nuts.

Hi, Mr. lguchi!

Muto, how have you been?

l talked with Otomo.

About that gas station...

Whatever happened,
will you overlook it?

My man's arm was broken.

We can't ignore it.

Do as l say!

Mr. lguchi, didn't you
quit being a gangster?

You're no longer my boss.

Mr. lguchi, huh?

From now on l'll
just call you lguchi.

Got it, lguchi?

What's all this, Otomo?

Don't ''Otomo'' me!

This is how we work to live.

Spoiled guy!

Bring money first.

That's what we want .

Sorry for a while ago.

Can we talk?

All right.

Go first.

Mr. lguchi.

Mr... lguchi...

No. ''lguchi.''

lguchi...

That's it, Mr. Muto.

What? l touched him!

How can you call it ''safe''?

Damn umpire! Ass!

Open your eyes!

He tagged the runner.

He tagged him here.

Like hell he did!

l saw it.

Know baseball?

He was safe. Safe! Got it?

ldiot umpire!

Never mind.
Quit! l'll make up for it.

That's why you never win!

Forget that ass. Let's start.

''That ass''? Damn you!

Hey, wait!

Go! Go!

About the dress

Get a pinch-hitter for him.

Pinch-hitter? Who?

l'll do it.

Yeah! You.
Swat the first ball.

Let ' em have it!

Swing, okay?

He did it!

Out? What for?

Because you passed him.

Why did you? We could've
reversed the score.

Game over.

lt could've been a homer.

You did a good job.

But you should
never pass a runner.

You were slow.

What? l ran fast.

Just run properly. Ass!

He passed me!

Have the mobsters come
again to your gas station?

They won't.

You're faster
than l thought.

You already laid her?

Aren't you marrying Miki?

What for?
l've got plenty of chicks.

What about you?

l'll marry her.

Nonsense!

Your woman came. She's at
the tennis court over there.

You're too fast!

You're too slow!

How silly!

Don't pass me!

Ass!

Dammit, who do you think
you called an ass?!

You dating?

Got laid already?

Where to?

An aquarium.

To see a panda? How nice!

But fishing is even nicer.
Come with me.

Want to know my name?

lt's James.

No catch. Shall we
go to the aquarium?

How is it?

lt's that pin.

The upper one?

lt's bent.

They pull tricks on you.

Can't make it.

What's the big idea? Stop!

l need balls.

No. l've lost
10,000 yen already.

You're lying. Ass!

He's sly.

From any point of view,
he's richer.

Why take my balls?

Yes?

Balls don't come out.

Cigarettes.

That'll be 75 balls.

Thank you.

And you?

Gum.

Don't have gum.

None?

Sorry.

Hi, players!
Thanks for your patronage.

Go first.

Hey, lguchi,

Say something?

Come with us.

Before that.

Where's Otomo?

He'll come later.

Making me wait?

Shut up, damn you!

You're tough, huh?

Why not straighten out?

Quit acting like a gangster.

See a doc?

He doesn't want to.

He's going to Okinawa
to get a gun.

But he can't move.

He says so.

Stupid!

What's on your mind?
Going to Okinawa?

How much have you embezzled?

A big amount, huh?
