Chapter 2 - Introductions are brief, it's rude to interrupt them.

[BOKKI and SOBA wake up in hospital beds to a man with a booming voice]

[OLD MAN]

Aha! You youngsters are finally awake!

[BOKKI, looking around]

Where am I?

[SOBA, looking at BOKKI]

Who are you?

[BOKKI]

Me? I'm Mochizuki Tteokbokki.

[Soba]

Why do you have a Korean first name and a Japanese last name?

[BOKKI, slightly ticked off]

That doesn't matter!

Anyways, I feel like I recognize you…

[OLD MAN, trying to chime in again]

Hey boys, don't forget you have someone right here…

[BOKKI and SOBA simultaneously yell at the man without looking at him]

SHUT UP!

[The man backs off, slightly disappointed]

[SOBA]

So you said your name is Tteokbokki?

[BOKKI]

Yeah.

Hey… aren't you the ca-

[SOBA]

Bokki it is then! Tteokbokki is too long.

[BOKKI jumps up and grabs Soba by the collar]

MY NAME WON'T JUST BE A BONER PUN! I JUST WON'T ALLOW IT!

(Bokki is erection in Japanese)

ALSO, AREN'T YOU THAT DAMN CASHIER THAT WAS ANNOYING ME ABOUT MY SLUSHIE?

[SOBA, looking sly]

Noo, no that was some other guy…

[BOKKI smacks SOBA in the head]

IT WAS TOTALLY YOU!

[SOBA rubs his head in pain]

Ow, ow ,ow…

 

[SOBA gets mad]

YOU. GOT. ME. FIREDDDD!

[SOBA uppercuts BOKKI mimicking a Shoryuken]

[BOKKI and SOBA give each other sharp looks as if a battle is about to start]

[OLD MAN, gets between the two, visibly annoyed]

STOP IT. NOW!

[BOKKI and SOBA look up at the man]

[BOKKI and SOBA]

Who are you?

[Flashback to the old man being chased by the large mob that tramples BOKKI and SOBA]

[A deep silence fills the room, a mix of confusion and awkwardness]

[OLD MAN]

I'm Mochizuki Goro! 

Famed mochi maker and legendary King of Bamboo Fist Tournament fighter!

[BOKKI in shock]

M- Mochizuki?

[GORO]

That's right!

[BOKKI]

Mochizuki Goro… Like my father, Mochizuki Goro?

[GORO]

That's right. How's the world been treating you son? 

That mob that trampled you was chasing me.

[BOKKI and SOBA, together]

Chasing you?
