Jack Elliot: Japanese way, 'Shut up and Take it'.
Hiroko Uchiyama: Jack's way, 'ME, ME, ME'! Sometimes acceptance and cooperation are strengths also.
Jack Elliot: Just let them have a little fun.
Uchiyama: Baseball is work. Not fun.
Jack Elliot: Baseball is grown men getting paid to play a game. When you were a kid, I bet you didn't pick up a bat and ball because you were dying to work. A player's career is short enough. Let them enjoy it.
Yoji Nishimura, Jack's Interpreter: Jack-San. If you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with... respect.
Jack Elliot: Hai.
Yoji Nishimura, Jack's Interpreter: Hai? As in Yes?
Jack Elliot: Hai as in Yes.
Yoji Nishimura, Jack's Interpreter: Hmmmmm. Yes.
Jack Elliot: Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
Uchiyama: But we are losing.
Jack Eliot: We're behind. BIG difference.
Hiroko Uchiyama: Something very definite. Definite that Baseball and Jack always come before Hiroko and Jack.
Jack Eliot: We're not athletes, we're baseball players.
