Luciano | “Why'd you call us here, boss?” |
Capone | “Luciano, Lansky. I’m going to have the two of you pair up.” |
Luciano | “Hah!?” |
Lansky | “I refuse.” |
Luciano | “That's my line! Why do I have to pair up with penny-pinching Lansky!? He's gonna infect me with poverty.” |
Lansky | “And he’s gonna give me a venereal disease. I absolutely refuse.” |
Luciano | “I have it worse than you!” |
Capone | “Shut up! You're not brats, so stop yapping around and get to work!” |
Izumi | (Juza and Banri's exchanges are spot-on—you’d never imagine they’d come this far from their first practice. They’re almost out of control, but Sakyo-san keeps them reigned in.) |
| |
Luciano | “This is the worst.” |
Lansky | “Don’t come this way.” |
Luciano | “It’s not like I wanna either! Leave me alone, you god of poverty!” |
| |
Izumi | (Luciano and Lansky make a huge mistake because they can’t work together...) |
Luciano | “What’re we gonna do!? This is your fault!” |
Lansky | “It’s not my responsibility.” |
Luciano | “Are you fucking kidding me? If they find out we lost the goods, they’re gonna kill us!” |
| |
Izumi | (The two of them invade enemy territory to make up for their mistake. This is the highlight of their action scenes.) |
Lansky | “Hold up, Luciano. We should take this one slowly...” |
Luciano | “Outta the way! Hand over the goods! The god of death is coming through!!” |
Lansky | “Will you listen to what people have to say...” |
Izumi | (Their fight scenes have really gotten better. Plus, they work as an excellent duo, making the story feel more realistic.) |
Luciano | “Shit, how are we gonna get outta here—.” |
Lansky | “I’ve secured a path.” |
Luciano | “Nice one, Lansky! Leave the rear to me. I’ve got your ass covered!” |
Lansky | “You’ve got skill, but do something about that foul mouth of yours.” |
| |
Izumi | (The scene where Lansky's brother appears... Taichi-kun...) |
Benjamin | “Are you nii-chan's friend? I'm Benjamin! Nice to meet you!” |
Izumi | (Huh...!? Taichi-kun's acting changed!?) |
Luciano | “You're definitely not related to Lansky by blood.” |
Lansky | “We're 100% born from the same father and mother. Stop being rude.” |
Benjamin | “I can't go outside often, so I’d be happy if you came to visit me here again.” |
Izumi | (This Benjamin is more than just an excited little boy—there's a certain shadow to him. It’s as if youth and darkness are both alive within him... his role has more depth now.) |
Benjamin | “Is my brother forcing himself with his job?” |
Luciano | “I wonder. Seems like he’s working hard, though.” |
Benjamin | “He doesn’t tell me anything even if I ask him. I’m afraid he’s pushing himself because of my operation.” |
Luciano | “Operation?” |
Benjamin | “I’m going to have a major surgery soon. We don’t know if it’s going to succeed, but if it does, I can live a normal life.” |
Luciano | “Hey, that’s great.” |
Benjamin | “It’s supposed to cost a lot of money, though. But if I bring that up, he gets mad...” |
Luciano | “Money, huh... Don’t worry. Lansky’s got a load of money saved up. You focus on having a successful operation.” |
Benjamin | “Yeah... you’re right!” |
Izumi | (Benjamin is drawing the audience's eye—almost more so than the main lead.) |
| (Banri-kun's acting also changed because of Taichi-kun.) |
| (You can really tell that Luciano is opening up to Lansky and Benjamin.) |
| |
Capone | “Seems like things are going well with Lansky.” |
Luciano | “It’s all thanks to you, boss. Things worked out just as you planned.” |
Capone | “That’s fine and all, but don’t put too much faith in him.” |
Luciano | “What do you mean?” |
Capone | “I mean what I say.” |
Izumi | (The peaceful scene takes a turn with Capone's ominous words...) |
Capone | “You’re simple-minded, after all. You look at things on the surface and assume you know everything.” |
Luciano | “——.” |
Izumi | (Sakyo-san's ad lib—it sounds like he’s talking to the early Banri-kun, who thought he knew everything about theater.) |
| (At the same time, it sets the stage for Lansky's betrayal...) |
Luciano | “What the hell... I get it, all right?” |
Izumi | (Yup, the moment where his expression broke character makes Luciano seem human, in a good way.) |
| |
Dewey | “I appreciate your cooperation, Lansky.” |
| “But don’t assume you can get in with both the mafia and the police.” |
Izumi | (Dewey, the policeman who’s blackmailing information out of Lansky...) |
Lansky | “I understand that I’m nothing but a pawn.” |
Dewey | “So long as you get it.” |
| “You have a sickly younger brother, right? Doesn’t he have an operation coming up soon?” |
Lansky | “My brother's got nothing to do with this.” |
Dewey | “I hope the operation goes well—but that all depends on you.” |
Lansky | “—Dammit.” |
Izumi | (The gentle Omi-kun's antagonist role really worked out... You can sense his incredible presence in brief moments.) |
| (But wow, everyone's doing even better than usual today.) |
| |
Capone | “Luciano. To think that you were the traitor.” |
Luciano | “You've got it wrong, boss! I never betrayed—.” |
Capone | “Lansky has the proof. There’s no escaping this one.” |
Luciano | “Wha—Lansky!?” |
Capone | “Do you remember what I told you, Luciano? You look at things on the surface and assume you know everything.” |
Luciano | “——.” |
Izumi | (Luciano is punished for Lansky's crimes...) |
Luciano | “You fucker—do you think you can do anything for the sake of your brother!? You rotten heathen!” |
Lansky | “You always knew I was a heathen who'd do anything for money.” |
Luciano | “I'll fucking kill you!!” |
Luciano | “I thought—I thought you were a pretty good guy, you know?” |
Lansky | “That's your fault. I'm not the kind of man you think I am.” |
Luciano | “Fuck this, lemme slug you!” |
Lansky | “If you can get out of there, then sure.” |
Luciano | “You’re dead for real!!” |
Izumi | (Luciano's anger and sadness over the betrayal, and Lansky repressing his emotions because he can't spill the truth...) |
| (Those feelings are coming across more strongly than ever.) |
| |
Gang Member | “Boss! Luciano has escaped!” |
Capone | “Where’s Lansky?” |
Gang Member | “Huh? Now that you mention it, Lansky’s also outta touch—.” |
Capone | “Well, guess that’s not a surprise. I was the one who brought them together in the first place.” |
Capone | “....Seems like my advice came in handy.” |
Izumi | (Sakyo-san's ad lib, which suggests he knew what was going on all along... Capone's last moments on stage will leave a huge impression on the audience.) |
| (He did say he was going to swallow everyone!) |
| (Our two leads are probably fired up—they have to steal back the spotlight in the last scene.) |
| |
Luciano | “I can't believe this! I'm never talking to you again.” |
Lansky | “You can slug me.” |
Luciano | “That was already the plan!” |
Izumi | (Yup, they really are more hyped than usual! It's definitely Sakyo-san and Taichi-kun's influence.) |
Lansky | “I'll pay to compensate.” |
Luciano | “What? You think money is gonna—.” |
| “Money? Did you say money? Lansky the miser, who spends an hour deciding whether or not to spend a dollar?” |
Lansky | “I think I’ve done something that terrible.” |
Luciano | “Are you sane?” |
Lansky | “Yeah.” |
Luciano | “I can't believe this. Lansky? Spending money?” |
| “Kuh, hahaha! Lansky, spending money! My stomach hurts! I'm gonna die laughing!” |
Lansky | “What's so funny—.” |
Luciano | “Ahahahaha! Grit your teeth!” |
Lansky | “What...?” |
| “—Guh.” |
Luciano | “Fine, man. I’ll forgive you with this.” |
Izumi | ——!! |
| (H-he didn't really punch him, did he....!? He was blown away so realistically...) |
Luciano | “—Here, gimme your hand.” |
Lansky | “——.” |
Izumi | (So they ad-libbed a scene where Luciano helps Lansky get up... Yup, it's perfect. It shows their forgiveness in one gesture.) |
Luciano | “So, what're we gonna do now?” |
Lansky | “I need to feed my brother.” |
Luciano | “Thanks to you, I'm unemployed now too. Wanna work together? As bodyguards or something?” |
Lansky | “How about as spies?” |
Luciano | “You really never learn. Well, whatever. Hey, let’s just be everything-men?” |
Lansky | “That's too broad. But, well, I guess that's fine—.” |
Izumi | (Lansky and Luciano walk off stage as they casually poke fun at one another—a graceful last scene....!) |
| |
Izumi | —— |
| (This final performance was definitely our best one up till now!) |
| |
Banri | ...... |
Juza | ...... |
| |
Banri | ——. |
Juza | ——. |
Banri | ...Victory. |
Juza | ...My victory |
Banri | It's mine!? |
Juza | It's mine. |
Banri | Aah?! |
Juza | Aah? |
Sakyo | Don't fight here! |
| Thwack |
Juza | —Gh. |
Banri | Ow—. |
Omi | Come on, it's curtain call. |
Taichi | Let's go, Ban-chan, Juza-san! |
Banri | —Here we go, guys! |
Juza | Yeah. |
| |
Banri | Thanks! |
Juza | Thanks! |
Omi | Thank you very much. |
Taichi | Thank you! |
Sakyo | Thank you very much. |
