Quotes[]
(Sakamoto notices that Takumi will overtake him.)
Sakamoto: I've had a bad feeling earlier. He's planning something that's coming to me in a second. In this narrow course, the rain.. what is he planning to do? Quit messing with me man! Just stay put behind like a good little loser!
(As Takumi is approaching the Cappuccino, it cuts to his wide eyes close up, knowing he'll attack)
Takumi: That's it!
(Takumi then takes the left to overtake Sakamoto; different shots of the overtake are shown. Sakamoto looks shocked.)
Sakamoto: What?!
(Takumi and Sakamoto's cars go side by side near the corner)
Sakamoto: I told you to quit fooling around!!
Takumi: No good!
