Mr. Watsuhita: I don't know about you Americans but to me there is no doubt Ichiro is the greatest of all time.

Japanese: Yeah, he's incredible.

Michael: You gotta admit, you can always count on Matsui.

Japanese: Oh, Matsui.

Ammer: Well, if you guys love Ichiro and Matsui so much, let's order them both. I'll eat anything.

Mr. Watsuhita: Excuse us for a moment.

Ammer: Absolutely, Mr. Watsuhita.

Michael: See you guys in a bit. Ichiro and Matsui are baseball players. You just insulted their national heroes.

Japanese 2: That hotel design? I'd like to rip it up. Egghead watched a bad documentary on Asian architecture.

Japanese 3: Who needs a stupid river in the lobby? Let's build more rooms and maximize profits.

Mr. Watsuhita: Eat as fast as you can. Then we can get out of here and do Jell-O shots at America's greatest cultural achievement: T.G.I. Friday's.

Ammer: All right, Michael, save us.

Michael: I'm all over it, baby. Before we order, I was looking at our proposal. You know what? After getting to know you a little bit, I realize this is not what you're all about. In fact, let's just throw it out, all right? Start from scratch. The river in the lobby idea, what an egghead move. Let's just keep all the plans simple, forget all the niceties, maximize our revenue. That's what it's all about anyways, the profits. But do me a favor. Just give us your account and your trust. That way we can get the hell out of this dump, go to T.G.I. Friday's, do some Jell-O shots till this guy pukes up a lung.

1. Ichiro Suzuki (铃木一朗, Suzuki Ichirō), often known simply as Ichiro (イチロー), is the center fielder for the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball team, but is mostly known as a right fielder, since he has been one for every year of his career except starting in 2007. He was born October 22, 1973, in Toyoyama, Nishikasugai, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Ichiro moved to the United States in 2001 after playing for nine years for the Orix Blue Wave in Japan's Pacific League. When the Blue Wave posted him after the 2000 season, Ichiro's rights were won by Seattle and he signed a contract with the Mariners. He became the first Japanese-born everyday position player in the Major Leagues. Ichiro did not miss a beat in his transition. He immediately established himself as one of the premier players in the American Major Leagues, matching or even surpassing his accomplished career in Japan.

2004 was his most impressive offensive season yet, as he set several MLB records, including a new all-time, single-season Major League record with 262 hits. Ichiro, equipped with one of the strongest and most accurate throwing arms in the league, is recognized as one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball. He has won a Gold Glove award in each of his first six years in the majors.

Suzuki is the first MLB player to join The Golden Players Club.

2. Kazuo "Kaz" Matsui (松井稼头央 Matsui Kazuo, born October 23, 1975 in Osaka, Japan) is an infielder and switch hitter in Major League Baseball and plays for the Colorado Rockies. Prior to joining the MLB, he enjoyed a successful career with the Seibu Lions in Japan from 1995 to 2003. His best year was 2002, when he had a .332 batting average with 36 home runs as well as 36 stolen bases.

3. Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui (松井秀喜, Matsui Hideki, born June 12, 1974) is a Japanese Major League Baseball left fielder who plays for the New York Yankees. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.
