Commercial Director
[in Japanese]
Mr. Bob-san, you are relaxing in your study. On the table is a bottle of Suntory whiskey. Got it? Look slowly, with feeling, at the camera, and say it gently - say it as if you were speaking to an old friend. Just like Bogie in Casablanca, "Here's looking at you, kid" - Suntory time.
Ms. Kawasaki
Umm. He want you to turn, looking at camera. OK?
Bob
That's all he said?
Ms. Kawasaki
Yes. Turn to camera.
Bob
All right. Does he want me to turn from the right, or turn from the left?
Ms. Kawasaki
[to director, in Japanese]
Uh, umm. He's ready now. He just wants to know if he's supposed to turn from the left or turn from the right when the camera rolls. What should I tell him?
Commercial Director
[in Japanese]
What difference does it make! Makes no difference! Don't have time for that! Got it, Bob-san? Just psych yourself up, and quick! Look straight at the camera. At the camera. And slowly. With passion. Straight at the camera. And in your eyes there's... passion. Got it?
Ms. Kawasaki
[to Bob]
Right side. And with intensity. OK?
Bob
Is that everything? It seemed like he said quite a bit more than that.
Commercial Director
[to Bob, in Japanese]
Listen, listen. This isn't just about whiskey. Understand? Imagine you're talking to an old friend. Gently. The emotions bubble up from the bottom of your heart. And don't forget, psych yourself up!
Ms. Kawasaki
Like an old friend. And, into the camera.
Bob
OK.
Commercial Director
[in Japanese]
Got it? You *love* whiskey. It's *Suntory* time. OK?
Bob
OK.
Commercial Director
OK?
Bob

Commercial Director

Bob
Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I'm looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?
Charlotte
I'm in. I'll go pack my stuff.
Bob
I hope that you've had enough to drink. It's going to take courage.

Charlotte
25 years. That's uh, well it's impressive.

Well you figure, you sleep one-third of your life, that knocks out eight years of marriage right there. So you're, y'know, down to 16 in change. You know you're just a teenager, at marriage, you can drive it but there's still the occasional accident.
