American Ninja 5 (V) AKA American Dragons (American Ninja 5)

Whoa, buddy...

-What are you doing? -Hi.

Lisa Strobel. Key West Boat Repair.

Joe. Joe's Gym.

What are you doing to my boat?

You wanted a varnish.

Tarnish. The Brass is tarnished.

Ha ha. I thought this "T" was a "V".

Yeah.

-I wouldn't go in there. -Why not?

Because I varnished the cabin, too.

-It really needed it. -Yeah.

How long does it take for this stuff to dry?

48 hours.

That's two days.

Where am I going to sleep?

Oh, well.

-Do you live on this boat? -Yeah.

I got an idea. I got an extra bunk on my boat.

Oh, no. That's okay. I'll be fine.

Then at least, let me make you dinner.

What do you like better, chicken or fish?

Uh... what?

What do you prefer, chicken or fish?

Usually, uh, chicken, but...

okay, great. Chicken.

It's about 2:00. We could eat about 6:00,

or would 7:00 be better for you?

Uh...

-I really got to go to the gym. -7:00 it is.

Look, I'm in Slip 36-D.

-You're going to love my cooking. -Yeah.

Everything is secure, Mr Glock.

The hotel's closed for one week at your request.

Thank you.

Take a vacation for one week, huh?

Flathead, I have done it.

My pesticide leaves no residue, not even a trace.

Congratulations, Doc. Perfect timing.

Now we'll have a real test.

We're not testing Z-B-12 that innocent animal.

I have my orders.

And I have my morals.

Take me to Mr Glock at once.

Trust me, general. You'll receive your merchandise soon enough.

I better.

Simon, I must speak with you.

-Can't you see, I'm in a meeting, Doctor. -I'm afraid this cannot wait.

Would you excuse me a moment, general.

What is the meaning of this interruption?

Z-B-12 was designed for insects.

True, but we must determine its toxicity, Doctor,

otherwise, human lives may be at risk, correct?

Please, Doctor, my intentions are nothing except honorable.

Then why is General Zubino here?

Flathead.

Escort the good doctor back to the lab

and keep him there. Now.

-More delays, Glock? -No, not at all, general.

-You have two days. -Two days? But we agreed, general...

Deliver the gas, Mr Glock, or my army will use your hotel

for missile practice.

Get me the Viper!

Viper, we need assurances that Dr Strobel will complete his work.

Go to America at once.

Perhaps his lovely daughter will help convince him.

Joe.

Joe, we got to talk.

In a minute, Tetsu. I'm kind of busy.

I got a plane to catch, and obviously this is not your day.

Now, come on, Joe, you going to housesit for me this weekend or what?

-Oh, yeah. I forgot. -Forgot?

-What, problems? -No. No problems. Uh,

-perfect timing. -Great. Great, great, great.

Here are the house keys.

-Trash out on Sundays. -Trash out on Sundays.

Who's the boy?

That's my nephew, Hiro.

Bonsai need watering every morning.

Take them out now and then to breathe.

-Okay? -Take them out to breathe.

I didn't know you had a nephew.

He's my grandnephew.

The last of my Ninja Todai Clan.

Oh... that's your last ninja, huh?

Yeah. He needs a little help, but he's great at computers.

Loves football. Hey, Joe, maybe...

Maybe you could teach him.

Ah, Tetsu, you know I don't teach kids anymore.

Aw, come on, Joe. I mean, what...

Oh, no. That's Tadashi's student.

Well, maybe it's time you tried to do it again.

Look, bedtime's at 9:00,

and don't let him play with the machine too much.

Hey, Tetsu, I said I'd housesit, not babysit.

Joe, there's nobody else.

Well, what about his parents?

Come here.

Her mother died during childbirth.

Daddy was killed a few years later,

and he's just blocking everything out.

He's numb. He's out there.

-Really? -Yeah.

Banged around foster homes, back and forth.

I'm his legal guardian. I'm his only living relative.

But you're too old to raise a boy.

Exactly. That's why I need a vacation.

I got a plane to catch.

Wait, Tetsu. Where are you going?

-Athens. -Athens?

Athens. Sayonara, fellas.

How'd he do that?

It's a ninja secret.

-Show me how. -Maybe some other time.

-I'm Joe. -So?

So... so, uh, wait here.

I'm going to go take a quick shower.

Yeah. Good idea.

-Hey, Tadashi. -Whose kid?

Uh, Tetsu's. Supposed to be the last of his Ninja Clan.

You kidding me?

Do you mind watching him for a bit?

-Okay. -Thanks.

Hey, uh... can I try those?

I don't think so. This can be dangerous.

Oh, uh, come on, uh, I'll trade you.

Be careful.

-Sorry about that window. -Yeah, well, it happens.

I like your truck.

Thanks. I just got it.

Can I drive?

-How old are you, anyway? -12.

I'm letting a 12-years-old drive my new truck.

-You are? Great. -No.

You just said I could.

I meant you couldn't.

A conversation with you is not easy.

Well, maybe we should just not speak for a while.

Okay.

-So, where are we going? -You're speaking.

Silence is boring.

-We're going to the Marina. -Why?

Pick up some things off my boat,

then break plans with a girl.

-You have a fight. -No.

Is she pretty?

I didn't really notice.

-I notice that a lot lately. -What?

If a girl's pretty.

So, what plans you have with her?

If you really must know, she invited me to dinner.

-Spending the night? -What?

Never mind. So, what's she cooking?

You ask a lot of questions.

-That's what brothers are for. -I'm not your brother, bubba.

Play your game.

-Do you live here? -Yep.

Sure is nice.

I always wanted to live on a boat.

Maybe you will one day.

-See what I mean? -What?

Me... noticing girls.

Ha ha. It won't kill you.

Mmm. Something sure smells good.

Yeah. This must be it.

Lisa. Hello.

Over here, Joe. Come on aboard.

Whoa. She is pretty.

Yeah. Not bad.

Wow. Some ship.

It's a boat.

-Your boat like that? -Uh... yeah, kind of.

It's blue.

-Glad you could make it. -So am I.

But I thought you said that you didn't...

Hope you don't mind. I had to bring him.

Hi. I'm Joe's brother, Hiro.

He's not my brother.

-Stepbrother. -Nice to meet you, Hiro.

The pleasure is all mine.

Cut that out.

-He's absolutely, darling. -Yeah. He lights up my life.

Why don't you come on aboard?

Get a hold.

He varnished his whole boat?

I didn't know how else to meet him.

I worked in a boat next to his for two weeks.

He never noticed me.

-I thought you were a guy. -Yeah, right. Some guy.

So... I set the whole thing up.

I'm glad you did.

-That was some dinner, huh? -Yeah.

Thanks. Thank you.

But wait till you try my dessert.

-Who are you? -A friend of your father's.

Not bad... for a rookie.

You stay here. I'm going below.

Why?

I, uh, want to talk with Lisa alone for a little bit.

Oh, I get it.
