[ALL THREE, standing in front of Bokki's home/work]
[SOBA]
So what do you even do for work, Bokki?
[BOKKI, grins confidently]
I'm a professional jack of all trades!
[GORO, grunts in understanding]
No son, not anymore you aren't!
[BOKKI, shocked]
Huh?! What do you mean you geezer?
[GORO, deep in thought]
Son, do you know the legacy our last name carries?
The Mochizuki have been professional mochi makers for centuries.
And with that, I see the potential in this place!
From now on, this is a mochi shop!
[BOKKI and SOBA, stare at him in shock]
[BOKKI]
A mochi shop?!
Please!
[SOBA]
Bokki, your father is a master mochi maker.
I think we ought to give it a try at least.
[BOKKI]
Fine, fine.
But I'm keeping my odd-jobs business open alongside the shop.
SO DONT EXPECT ME TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE IT, YOU OLD FART!
[GORO]
WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
HOW DARE YOU INSULT OUR FAMILY SPECIALTY, BOY!
[GORO, pulls his hammer out of nowhere again and sends Bokki flying through the roof]
[SOBA, turned pale]
Seriously, where do you pull the hammer from?
[GORO]
Mochi makers don't reveal their secrets, kid.
Come on now, help me get this gig started.
[SOBA]
Alright sir…
[BOKKI, middle of the street, rubbing his butt in pain]
Damn old man.
I'll show him, my odd-jobs business will continue going well!
[A bright yellow light emits from aside him.]
[GLOWING FIGURE]
Hey you, white hair.
Helloooo…
Seems like you took quite the fall, heh heh.
[BOKKI, feeling generous]
Listen man, I'm not in the best mood right now…
[GLOWING FIGURE]
Heh heh, all's well.
[BOKKI, turns to the glowing figure.]
Well, good day to y-
Wait… I- I've seen you before!
Y- YOU'RE!
YOU'RE BUDDHA!
[BUDDHA, he nods]
That is I.
[BOKKI, in shock]
Shouldn't you be somewhere more enlightening?!
[BUDDHA]
Well yes, but a rough roommate kicked me out for not doing much.
Heh heh, but it's fine.
Don't hate the player, hate the game as they say.
[BOKKI, deadpan]
Isn't that all you do?
[BUDDHA]
Yup!
[BOKKI]
Hey Buddha, why don't you come over to my place for a bit and we can chat there rather than the side of the street.
[BUDDHA, nods]
Very well. Let us get going.
