- Thanks, Russell.
- Anytime.
:17:04
This is a weird part of town.
:17:18
How come you don't know
a goddamn thing about your own culture?
:17:22
My culture?
:17:24
Listen, Champ. I was raised in the Valley.
:17:27
My dad's a white guy who's a dentist.
:17:29
I know about malls,
MTV, driving Dad's car on Mulholland.
:17:34
That doesn't explain the Bushido.
:17:37
Mom made me study martial arts
to get a Japanese identity.
:17:41
Actually, she had this idea about
flower arranging first, but be serious.
:17:46
What's your excuse?
:17:48
I was raised in Japan.
:17:50
Did you have to do
that flower-arranging stuff?
:17:53
A warrior who knows only one side
leaves himself vulnerable to attack.
:17:58
Many of the greatest samurai
also wrote haiku.
:18:01
Those poems that don't rhyme.
:18:06
This is the Bonsai Club. Japanese come
here for their own special kind of fun.
:18:10
Get ready for some sudden
cultural immersion.
:18:13
I'll warn you, I don't eat raw fish.
But that's just me.
:18:20
I can't exactly get in the front.
They don't like me.
:18:23
Why aren't I surprised?
:18:37
Does everyone around here know you?
:18:39
They know who I am.
:18:54
Come on in.
