Mr. Sakamoto
- Hunt Stevenson: If you walk out that door, you're going to miss a great comeback. We're ready to roll here, Jack.
- Mr. Sakamoto: This will never be like a Japanese factory... *Jack.*
- Hunt Stevenson: Oh, yeah? You're right. You know what else? So what?
- Mr. Sakamoto: You failed.
- Hunt Stevenson: Really? Wanna know something? I got one of the first cars ever made here. I got *the* first car ever - I don't think I want it anymore. As a matter of fact, here.
- [hands keys to Mr. Sakamoto]
- Hunt Stevenson: Why don't you take the keys, okay? I'd rather have one of those cars.
- [points to cars in assembly line]
- Hunt Stevenson: I'd rather have one of these cars that *we* made *together,* by hand. Your guys and my guys, together. You know why? Because those cars stand for something. Those cars stand for something pretty great. I'm proud of those cars. I'm taking one.
- [Turns to workers]
- Hunt Stevenson: Gentlemen, I'm going home in my new car!
- [All workers cheer and applaud, then silently pray that Hunt's new car has a working engine. Hunt starts the car, and the workers cheer. However, the car literally falls apart after about two yards, and the workers start to moan. Hunter gets out of the car]
- Hunt Stevenson: I tell ya, I thought it handled great!
- Mr. Sakamoto: Everything is all right here?
- Oishi Kazihiro: Yes. Fine. Great. Have a good trip back.
- Mr. Sakamoto: I will visit the factory tomorrow.
- Oishi Kazihiro: Uh, tomorrow not good day.
- Mr. Sakamoto: Why not good day?
- Oishi Kazihiro: Factory is locked and we can't find key.
- Saito: Bullshit-o!
- Mr. Sakamoto: I don't see anything wrong with these cars.
- Saito: [shocked] Are you crazy?
- Mr. Sakamoto: [to Hunt, Kaz and the workers] Congratulation! 15,000 cars!
- Mr. Sakamoto: [hands a janitor's mop to Saito, the naysayer executive, effectively demoting him from VP to janitor] Good luck in your new career.
