Black Rain quotes

Crown

We'll charge you. We'll find someone to help us. Nobody's got a softer center than a dirty cop.

Berg

That's a king-sized nut. I admire your thrift

Yeah, well, life's a bitch.

Crown

We did the math, Hero. You're twenty grand in the hole a month. You're into the shylocks, Conklin, you're takin'.

Look, you wanna charge me, you charge me, okay? You wanna jerk off, you go back to your office.

Because you could get me killed. You see, there's a war going on here, and they don't take prisoners.

What are you talking about?

It's between Sato and an old crime boss named Sugai.

Who else knows about this war?

Counting you and me? [beat] Eleven million.

Look, I've been living in this country for seven years, and I still can't read the headlines. Yes means no. Maybe means never.

You still didn't answer my question. How do I get to him?

Let the police handle it. Nobody's going to help a gaijin.

Gaijin?

Yeah, a stranger. A barbarian. A foreigner. Me and you... More you.

Perhaps you should think less of yourself and more of your group. Try to work like in Japanese. I grew up with your soldiers; you were wise then. Now - music and movies are all America is good for. We make the machines, we build the future, we won the peace.

And if there was ONE of you guys who had an original idea, you'd be so tight that you couldn't even pull it out of your ass!

Just hope they got a Nip in this building who speaks **** English.

[overhearing]

Assistant Inspector Matsumoto Masahiro, Criminal Investigation section, Osaka Prefecture police. And I do speak **** English.

Sugai
[on Sato]

He might as well be an American. His kind respect just one thing: money.

So what are you into it for? Love?

Sugai

I was 10 when the B-29 came. My family lived underground for three days. When we came up the city was gone. Then the heat brought rain. Black rain. You made the rain black, and shoved your values down our throat. We forgot who we were. You created Sato and thousands like him. I'm paying you back.

Now, you got a counterfeiting ring going on and you should talk to your partner before you go to the suits. So **** you very much!

The girls want to know if you're the guy who lost Sato at the airport. Just off the plane, you make the evening news. Very impressive. Americans who are less than perfect - it's very amusing.
