Kazihiro: We know what we are doing. I see now why they gave me ribbons of shame. Because I was beginning to think like an American! Kazihiro: It's true! Everybody in this country thinks they are special. Nobody wants to be part of the team. They're all too busy getting personalized license plates. None of you would last two days in management training program. Hunt Stevenson: None of us would be stupid enough to stay two days. Kazihiro: You are all selfish, and that is what makes you weak. Hunt Stevenson: I'm weak? You don't even have the guts to stand up to your own boss! You're a real millie, you know that? Kazihiro: I am no millie! Kazihiro: You get out of here! You are fired! You don't work here any more. Hunt Stevenson: I'm fired? Kazihiro: Fired! Hunt Stevenson: That's great. That's fine with me. You guys think you're so hot. This factory's been running like shit! Kazihiro: It's run our way. The way that we know how! That's the way it is! Hunt Stevenson: Oh yeah? Kazihiro: Yeah!

That if we... Willie: Hunt. What are you trying to tell us? Hunt Stevenson: I lied. Willie: My god. Hunt Stevenson: Yeah, there was no...there was no deal for 13,000 cars. Buster: We walked out on a lie? Hunt Stevenson: I never in a million years thought it could lead to this, I swear. Willie: You should've told us the truth. Hunt Stevenson: The truth? You don't want the truth. You want to hear that Americans are better than anybody else. They're kicking our butts, that ain't luck. There's your truth. Sure, the great old American do-or-die spirit. Yeah, it's alive. But they've got it. I tell you, we'd better get it back. We'd better get it back damn fast. Instead, we're strutting around telling ourselves how great we are. I guess if I was really a leader, I would've told you this months ago. Instea

Hunt Stevenson: You're a maniac. Kazihiro: Last night I told off my boss. Hunt Stevenson: Oh yeah? Good for you. Was he awake? Kazihiro: Are you kidding? I was on him good. I was on him like hair on a gorilla. Hunt Stevenson: Where do you get these expressions? Kazihiro: TV. Hunt Stevenson: You're coming around, cosmonaut. Took you long enough.
