Have a great time!

Tell my brother "hi." I was going to visit him, but tickets cost too much.

And remember to respect the Yakuza!

Oh. Business trip, squaresie? Have a great time, get lots of work done, and play hard and well afterwards.

When you say play hard, it better not be with some kawaii Japanese chicks...

I'm guessing "kawaii" doesn't mean "fine and upstanding".

You don't trust him? Tell you what. I'll send my people to keep an eye on him, disguised as typical Japanese (some of them as beautiful kawaii girls). If he does anything funny he'll never come back alive and you will be sent one of his fingers as proof of his elimination.

Good luck Ben!
Have a great time in Japan.

Take good care of your passport.

How long are you going to stay in Japan if I may ask?

Not "cloth-eared" or "tarty", then?

No, Scotts. Lucien is right. It translates to 'cute'. Interestingly, if you take away the last 'i' you'd have a girl you'd immediately want to run away from .

Also, for us gay guys, the boy equivalent is 'kakkoii'.
