B: Shivers will run down your throat~
B: It tastes THAT good~
B: Wow!! One more, mommy!!
B: Crisp and refreshing Golden Cola~

02)
T: Hmph. Golden Cola...
T: The company that got a late start due to share wars, but was favored by Khrushchev and

permitted to monopolize the market in the Soviet Union...
T: What are you to Golden Cola?
M: Son of the family who owns it.
T: Hoooooo...your parents should've named ya Richie...
T: Ah, what the hey. Hold on tight!
M: Uwahhh!!

03)
T: The train bound for Florida that your bride is planning to get on leaves in 30

minutes!!
T: Now, the question is: will we make it in time...?
T: No matter how much money you have, you can't buy luck, you know!!

Chapter 17 - After the Church

04)
B: 1955 - Golden Cola opens a massive bottling factory in Florida--
B: Due to this factory, and the gradual diffusion of vending machines throughout the

country, the company's share skyrocketed to second out of all the national shares in

America.
B: It was not long before problems arose, however...

05)
B: Black labor workers began protesting against discriminatory treatment.
B: With that, the discord that had existed as a daily struggle between black and white

workers bubbled to the surface...
B: resulting in a possibly explosive situation within the factory.
B: In the middle of this, I had the poor luck of being transferred to the Florida factory

as a representative manager...
M: Umm...umm...
M: E...everyone, please listen...
M(2b): Um...er...

06)
T: Hmph! Protests this way too.
T: It's gonna take us some time to reach the station.
T: You really might be out of luck here, pal...
M: Ah...
M: You're a fan too, Mr. Driver?
M: Of Billy Bat...
T: Ahh...my daughter likes him...
T: I like the old Billy better, though...
M: Kevin Yamagata!!

07)
T: Seems like you know your onions, sir.
M: Of course! The real Billy is the one that Kevin drew!!
T: The recent Billy that Chuck Culkin fellow draws...
M: It's the pits!!
T: Ahahah! That's what I like to hear!!
M: Florida's Billy Land is terrible.
T: I'll bet!!
M: There's no point in an amusement park that prohibits blacks from entering...
T: You can say that again...
B: Hey, ask him!

08)
B: Ask him when he hooked up with his bride!
T: Watch your mouth!
M: I wanted to become a cartoonist myself.
T: Eh?
M: I was thinking of going to Europe and becoming a cartoonist there...
T: Oh really...?
M(2b): There's nothing glorious about being a manager...not to mention having to quell

demonstrations...
M(2b): F...for the time being, e...everyone, p...please calm...down...

09)
W: Get down off there!!
W: They're misbehaving because you're acting like such a lilly-livered fool!!
W: Are you on the niggers' side, Manager?!
M: N...no, I'm just the representative manager...
W: Shut up, whitey!!
M: Hiieee!!
B: We ain't gonna let you push us around anymore!!
B: Let us eat in the same cafeteria!!
B: Why can't we feed our families, even though we work more than the crackers?!
W: Shut up, niggers!! Know your place!!
M: Wa...wait...
M: Wait...!!
B: I can't take this anymore! Git 'em!!
M: Waaaaaahhhh!!

10)
B: Enough already!!
B: Who cares if you're black or white?!
B: If we turn this place into a slaughterhouse...
B: Only red blood will run!!
B: If you think I'm lyin', then go ahead and give it a try!!

11)
B: We...
B: are all co-workers!!
B: All hard workers being manipulated by these guys!!
B: Right?
M: I fell in love...

12)
T: Why didn't you stand up and say something when your family objected to your marriage,

then?
T: Why did you throw her out on the road in her wedding dress like that?
M: It...
M: always ends up like that...
M: I've got no guts...
B: Grand Central Station--

13)

B: Ah...yes...
M: If'n ya don' go out der now, da train's gonna leave.
M: N' if ya stay here, da demonstrators'll come...could be trouble.
B: Thank you...

14)
T: I...
T: can't give you any advice myself, though.
T: I sat in my house and watched my wife and children walk out in silence...
T: Just like you...
T: I didn't have enough guts...
T: Woah there...
T: Why is there a black demonstration right in front of the station like that....?
T: Huh...what the?

15)
T: W...woah, this doesn't look too good!!
T: The white demonstrators are coming from the other side!!
T: Forget about cutting through...t-this is going to turn into a lynch...!!
T: If we don't watch out, we'll become a part of it...
T: Wh...what should I do, sir?
M: Turn back.
M: I guess I don't have it in me, after all...

16)
M: Luck doesn't come to men with no courage...
T: Yup...exactly.
T: That's the truth, alright.
T: A miracle like the sea parting from Moses' "Ten Commandments" won't come to us...
B: Go.
