Let's get something good to eat.
What's the idea?!
You ran into me and you just ignored it?!
I'm sorry. He's drunk.
- YOU ran into ME!
- Sorry... - YOU ran into ME!
I can't stand sassy salarymen like you!
Just smelling you makes me wanna puke!
Cut it out!
- Quit it already.
- Trying to butt in, bastard? - Quit it already.
Quit it. I said!
- You'd better beg our forgiveness!
- Ryuta, wait here. - You'd better beg our forgiveness!
Wanna fight?!
Go home.
You're next?
He's no amateur.
Who're you?!
I'm Salaryman Kintaro!
Yamato Construction Company
- Kin-chan!
Welcome home. Kin - chan!
What're you guys doing here?
Sabu!
Kin-chan, good to see you!
What's that get-up?
I'm helping at my dad's sushi shop.
I only make deliveries.
I see... Sushi maker?
Kin-chan, nice to see you!
You're...?
Mitsuo?!
I run a small moving company.
I see.
You're all working hard.
You too!
Who would've thought you'd be working for this big company.
We got the old gang together to welcome you.
I see.
Thanks for coming, guys! Thanks.
We're pals forever!
What's wrong with you people?!
Go away!
Get, away! You're not supposed to be here.
I'm the Executive Secretary of Yamato Construction.
Sakurai Kyoko.
If you don't go away, I'm calling the police!
Well, I'm Yajima Kintaro.
I'm the new salaryman at Yamada Construction.
Pleased to meet you.
What?!
Salaryman Kintaro! Good luck!
Thanks!
Salaryman Kintaro?
That's Kintaro!
Kayo! That's the guy.
I don't like young men!
Please!
He saved my life!
He did?
I'd like to see Yamato Ryunosuke.
Have you an appointment ?
No, just mention Kin-chan. Please.
Good morning, Gramps.
Hey, Kin-chan! Welcome, welcome!
Oh, Kin-chan. This old granny... I mean Kayo, will look after you.
I haven't agreed yet!
I'm Yajima Kintaro! It's nice to meet you!
Pleased!
I'll do it for Ryunosuke, but I hate kids.
I'm not babysitting.
Here?
Got a complaint?
What a cool place!
Hurry up. Get inside!
Upstairs!
Here.
This was unexpected, so clean up by yourself.
Yes. Thank you.
Ryuta...
Thank you.
I refuse to babysit.
Ryuta...
This will be your home from now on.
Mama...
Ryuta, this is it.
Watch where you're going!! Idiot!
You're the idiot!
Couldn't, you see her cane?
You okay?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Mama! Mama!
Hey, Ryuta!
Mama!
Well, he'll start here tomorrow. He's Yajima Ryuta.
I was expecting him.
Pleased to meet you, Ryuta-kun.
I'm his father Yajima Kintaro.
Kintaro-san?
Pleased to meet you.
I'm home.
What's all the racket?
W... Who is he?!
Our boarder.
Boarder?
Yes.
It was very sudden, right?
Yes.
This is my daughter.
I'm Yajima Kintaro.
My son, Yajima Ryuta. Pleased to meet you.
Thank you! .
Mom. I'm on a diet so it's okay.
But can't you fix something else?
Like what?
Like hamburgers. Dried sardines for such a little boy.
Nonsense. The old diet was the most healthy.
Sardines was a feast when I was little.
When was that?
Luxuries have ruined the Japanese.
There you go again.
Yes, this is good.
Yes.
Right, Ryuta?
Akemi.
Tomorrow I'll start as a salaryman.
Don't worry. I'll raise Ryuta fine.
I'll do my best.
Just watch.
What're you doing?
Cleaning!
Do you clean under the mat?
Lift this up.
Not so high!
All right!
Are you all right?
I'm all right.
Where's Ryuta?
B...Bathing.
Oh, bathing?
That was close!
My precious...
Ryuta! I'm coming in!
Papa!
I'm sorry!
Akemi, hang on.
Kin-chan, thank you.
I... was really happy.
Don't say that. You'll be fine.
Just once...
I wish I could've seen your face.
Akemi...?!
Akemi!
Morning, Mama!
Good morning. You look happy.
Everybody is waiting.
- Good morning.
It is you!
You followed me?!
I'm going this way too.
Where do you work?
None of your business.
Will you stop?
This is where I work.
You're kidding.
Yamato Construction.
Kin-chan!
I sure appreciate it.
But don't come anymore. Please.
Good morning!
The Managing Director.
Managing Director?
- Good Morning.
- Morning. - Good Morning.
Good morning.
Why isn't anybody getting on?
Are you an employee?
Yes. sir.
Name and section?
General Affairs. Yajima Kintaro.
I haven't seen you before. When did you join us?
Yesterday, sir.
You're no ordinary fool.
What's an ordinary fool, sir?
If you I were an ordinary fool,
this displeasure I'm feeling right now would linger.
I Don't know what's foolish or smart.
but is it forbidden to ride an elevator with an executive?
Not really.
Then why won't the others come in, then?
If salarymen have to kiss up to you like this,
they're nothing but a pile of crap!
I'll never be such a salaryman
And I'll never change my ways.
Don't misunderstand.
I never made them do this. They do it on their own.
I don't care who gets on with me.
Just cut your hair! It's a disgrace.
If it's still long the next time I see you,
you're fired!
Never underestimate salarymen.
Get off.
I said I wouldn't change.
General Affairs is on this floor.
Oh.
I see.
Uhm... Where's General Affairs?
I work there. I'll show you.
Thanks.
What a troublemaker.
Mr. Kurokawa was wrong. He's an ordinary fool.
Mr. Kurokawa was unusually irritated.
He won't be here.
He'll be fired.
What is he anyways?
A high school dropout.
Belonged to a motorcycle gang.
Sent to reform school.
Reform school?!
What's he doing here?!
The Chairman of the Board wanted him.
The Chairman?!
Why? Why?
Director Kurokawa is resigning.
Is that so?
Probably sacrificing himself for the Chairman of the Board.
Your position as Executive Director is now secure, sir.
The Chairman is without power.
He's a mere decoration.
That's how it is.
Thank you for everything, sir.
Forgive me.
But I can't do anything alone...
Sir, please don't give up.
You still have loyal employees...
who shared hard times since the company started.
they're controlled now by Executive Director Oshima.
But they'll come to their senses someday.
The company was small, then...
but I miss those days!
Yes.
Director Kurokawa is quitting.
Really?
Why?!
Executive Director Oshima
wants to take over the Chairman's position...
as company president.
Mr. Kurokawa sacrificed himself to save the Chairman.
Oshima's despicable!
Despicable!
Please.
Thank you.
How wonderful to have a legendary hero right here.
I'm your fan.
Shake!
Pleased to meet you.
Don't hesitate to ask for help.
Got a manicure set?
Of course.
Can I use it?
Yes.
And scissors, too.
Scissors?
That's not a pencil.
lt's a float.
For fishing?
Yes.
Wow! It's beautiful!
Let me borrow this.
Yes.
Thank you.
So cool!
Excuse me.
You cut your hair?
Yes.
This isn't much but...
A float?
Yes.
My late grandfather made them. That's how I learned.
I put my heart and soul into it.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
Say...
What kind of man can win your heart, Proprietress?
When I find him, I'll introduce you right away.
That would be sad too.
Welcome!
Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.
Kin-chan!
Mr. Kurokawa invited me.
Oh, he did?!
It's nice to see you, Mr. Kurokawa.
Please.
Welcome. Please.
Isn't this the first time you've met?
She's the proprietress.
I'm Yajima Kintaro.
He joined the company only yesterday.
I'm Misuzu. How do you do?
Pleased to meet you.
Hey!
It's ten years too soon to fall for her!
I wasn't sir.
Whiskey and water?
Sir.
Kintaro made this for me.
How pretty.
A float?
I loved fishing as a child.
From now on, I'll go fishing and relax.
Beautiful.
You're good with your hands.
Yes.
You've got a powerful rival now.
Kintaro...
Yes?
Isn't today your payday?
Is it?
- Playing dumb.
I'm not. - Playing dumb.
Will they pay me? It's been less than a month.
They'll pay you, by the day.
- My first paycheck.
- Kintaro... - My first paycheck.
Yes.
I'm collecting rent.
Ok.
Its been less than a month.
I'll charge by the day.
Yes, of course!
Your whole paycheck might go for rent.
He sharpens pencils every day?
He's the Chairman's illegitimate son.
- No way.
- Isn't that just a rumor? - No way.
No wonder he can just do this all day.
Kin-chan is headed for higher things.
Hello!
I'm Maeda and unattached.
Who's the girl who sharpens pencils?
They've suddenly gotten much sharper.
Anyone who sharpens pencils with such care, and skill...
can be my bride.
Is it you?
You?
Kazue-chan?
Kin-chan.
Kin-chan?
Him?!
Your bride!
I'm Maeda from Design.
Hello.
You sharpened them?! With a cutter?
Something wrong?
Pencils are crucial to my work.
These write much better than anything I can sharpen.
No ones ever sharpened them this well for me before.
Thank you.
Really?
I'm Maeda from Design. Pleased to meet you.
You too.
Kin - chan!
I'll be in Chicago this weekend.
I'll be back for the officers' meeting.
Keep a close watch over the Chairman till then.
Yes, sir.
There's my bride.
- Bride?
Kin - chan!
Wanna go drinking?
This is Tanaka from Sales and Masumi in Design.
I'm in Sales. Section One.
Yajima Kintaro.
It's payday. Let's celebrate.
I have to pick up my son.
Your son?
I'll pick Ryuta up for you.
I can't impose.
- Masumi-chan?
- Don't worry. - Masumi-chan?
Hurry and make friends.
See you.
- Bye.
Why? Why should Masumi pick up your son?
How come?
Don't ask me!
I'm a boarder at her house.
Boarder?!
You're boarding at Masumi's house?
Yes, that's right.
- How come?
Umm.. What is your relationship with Ryuta?
Ryuta and his father are boarding at my house.
You're the landlady?
You could say that.
It's our rule...
to release a child only to cleared persons.
Can't I take him?
Only Ryuta's father or Nakamura Kayo can take him.
I'm Nakamura Kayos daughter.
Ryuta! Ryuta!
Big Sister!
Your daddy will be late so I came for you.
Let's go home.
Bye Ryuta.
Bye, mama!
Mama?
She called to confirm it?
Naturally. What if he was kidnapped?
Do I look like a kidnapper?
She's a responsible teacher.
Ryuta calls her Mama.
Mama?
She's the teacher
so you should call her Teacher.
She's my mama.
So cool!
Kimie, over there.
No! They're soCdull!
I want Kin-chan!
Do your job. Go on over.
By the way, Kin - chan.
How did you meet the Chairman?
I was a fisherman till only recently
then I met the Chairman by coincidence.
That's all?
Yes.
You were a fisherman?
Yes.
You must've looked so manly as a fisherman!
What if we were fishermen?
Total geeks.
Why?
Excuse me.
Do you know what danger the Chairman's in now?
No. I'm new In the company.
Executive Director Oshima is not a company man.
He weaseled his way in with rich backers.
He's trying to take over the company.
I can't let him get away with it!
Quit it, Tanaka!
Why?
We didn't invite Kin-chan here to discuss that!
But...
Sing something Kin - chan.
Right! Sing!
I can't sing.
All really good singers say that.
What will you sing? Come on.
Here goes! As a new employee!!
Kin-chan!
Please sing!
You really suck, Kin-chan!
Go, Kin - chan!
So crummy, yet so spirited.
Whatta guy! Kin-chan!
Think you own this bar?
Don't you start work early tomorrow?
Go home, crap, and go to sleep!
You're asking for it.
What? Wimp salaryman.
Wanna get hurt?!
If you start something...
I'll finish it!
This is bad!
Don't you take karate?! Stop him!
Tanaka?! Are you crazy?!
We're sorry! This is all our cash!
We'll bring the rest later!
Never mind.
It was a great fight.
That's what I've got insurance for.
The consequences will be bad, though.
They were from the Mitsuba Gang.
Mitsuba...?!
Oh, no...
To hell with them!
We can't let guys like that scare us!
Right, Kintaro ?
You're drunk, Tanaka.
Who cares about consequences?
Who wants to live running scared?
Maeda, we had way more guts in college.
Why should we lose it just because we're salarymen?
Right, Kintaro?
Why throw away your future for one moment of glory?
Maeda! You're a salaryman all the way.
Down to your socks!
Are you stupid, Tanaka?!
Of course, we're salarymen!
Use the calculator.
I'm home!
Here's the rent money.
What happened to your face?!
I banged into a pole.
Fighting. I bet?
You can tell?
Kintaro...
Yes.
Don't do anything to make your son sad.
Please stop!
What do you mean fighting with yakuza?!
They demand to see the President!
What will you do?
But...
Where are they?
They were shown to Waiting Room 3.
Where is it?
I'll show you.
Kin-chan.
Don't worry.
Don't! What can you do to help?
- Don't go!
- Tanaka. - Don't go!
I told you.
You could ruin your life for a moment of glory!
Were finished anyway.
Tanaka!
Kin - chan, fighting is no good.
I know.
This is the fool!
He wouldn't learn, if we killed him...
You're pitiful.
Ain't you got no shame?!
Who's the fool, anyway.
Last night we had a fight.
Men fight...
ready to kill or be killed.
But you come crying after it's all over.
You're pitiful!
Interesting. You talk like a yakuza.
It doesn't matter what I am!
If last night's fight ain't finished,
let's go!
I'll finish it!
Bastard!
Even if I'm no yakuza, I ain't scared of you.
I'll take anybody on.
Think your bluff will work?!
This man isn't bluffing.
Sir...!
How many of you would give your lives for me?
Hundreds would gladly die for this man!
Sorry I haven't kept in touch!
Shiina?!
Yes.
I knew you were back.
But my dad's funeral was the same day.
I'm sorry I couldn't come to greet you!
You succeeded your dad?
How I wanted to see you!
I never dreamt we would meet like this.
Sir! Do you know him from the motorcycle gang days?!
He's the head of the Kanto Hasshu Alliance.
Yajima Kintaro.
Gang members are willing to die for their pals.
That never changes.
Shiina...!
Animals. You make me sick!
Shiina. I made you look bad in front of your men.
I apologize.
Not at all. I'll never be too ashamed to bow to you.
I see.
Excuse me.
Freeze!
What the hell?!
You forgot this.
I took out the bullets.
I'm keeping them.
Your world is different.
You don't belong here.
You can't decide that.
The Executive Director will decide.
Did you bring your letters of resignation?
Forgive us! We'll never do this again!
Do you think apologies will help...
after all the trouble you caused?
I love this company!
1 know I can be useful here!
I won't resign!
Shut upl
I'll decide who's useful here!
Are you Yajima Kintaro?
No deliberations are necessary for you.
You're fired now!
Isn't a company executive like a parent?
If their children go wrong, the parents should protect them.
Pitiful.
The enemy comes to your door
and you run and hide?!
You hide when your children need you.
Then come out and scold them when it's all over?!
Rotten fathers like you shouldn't act so big!!
Get out.
Out of my sight. You're all fired!
What?!
Kintaro stop!
Let him go!
I'm taking charge of these thrive.
Yamato is a construction company.
A man who can't fight is no employee of ours.
Come on.
Mr. Yamato! You can't have your own way.
I am the company president.
I am still the owner of this company.
If you don't like it, throw me out too!
Excuse me.
I've never been so humiliated in my life!
I'll get that kid!
Kintaro...
How about going fishing on Saturday?
Gladly, sir!
See you.
Kin - chan...
We were saved.
What happened to Kintaro?
He didn't punch out or Oshima, did he?
He almost did.
I saved him from Oshima's clutches in the nick of time.
Thank goodness!
Ryunosuke..
Kintaro might be a big man someday.
You're Yajima Kintaro?
That was an impressive show.
Many men like you found companies.
But few men like you become salarymen.
I don't judge men by schooling or background.
I accept you...
as my rival.
I'm Takatsukasa. Pleased to meet you.
Let's both fight. Biker Kin-chan.
It's awesome to be considered his rival!
Who's that?
A top law graduate from Tokyo University.
He's the manager of the Business Development Section.
Give me one, too.
I've got to watch out for him.
Who?
Yajima Kintaro.
That crude man. He'll never fit in.
The Chairman's taken on a bomb that's ready to explode.
No, this might be his last gamble.
Are you afraid of Kintaro?
No.
Executive Director or Chairman of the Board.
I'll survive no matter who wins.
Goodbye Sir!
Goodbye Sir.
I've made up my mind!
While Oshima's away, I'll try to stop them!
We can't do that!
We've got to try!
I'll help.
If Oshima takes over,
were finished. We've got to do it.
Kintaro...
I've been thinking of withdrawing from the company.
If you give up,
we'll have workers who are too scared to say anything.
You want that?
It's because of you who keep fighting...
that gives everybody a peace of mind.
It's only been one month.
And all you do is sharpen pencils.
What impertinent talk.
What would you know?
Nothing at all.
It's just how I feel.
A bite.
You got a bite.
You're right!
What'll I do?
What if it's a parrot fish?!
Stay still for a minute.
It's really fighting! Do I still wait?!
Go for it!
What's this?
Pull it!
Reel!
Go! Reel that sucker in!
I can't! Take over!
It won't be your fish then.
Reel it in!
Bring it up!
Reel it in!
You did it!
