140.1.1. Sai: Wow, Hikaru! There are a lot of people playing Go here.
140.1.2. Hikaru: Looks like they're doing all sorts of things: Instructional (Shidou-)Go, lectures, and look - they're running a Go program on a PC over there.
140.2.1. Hikaru: I wanted to come see when I read about this in "Go Weekly" but
140.2.2. Hikaru: there's a huge crowd here for a regional event.
140.2.3. Sai: Hikaru! Let's watch a game.
140.3.1. Hikaru (thinking): Well I hope this brings Sai's spirits up a bit.
140.3.2. Hikaru (thinking): It was a little far, but worth coming to.
140.4.1. Hikaru (thinking): That match with Master Touya ended up leaving Sai dissatisfied too.
140.4.2. Hikaru (thinking): I guess I messed things up.
141.1.1. Hikaru: Sai, we'll go watch Ochi's "new pro" match next week.
141.1.2. Hikaru: He and Waya dissed my game, so I'll get him back for it.
141.2.1. Sai (thinking): Hikaru is trying to please me.
141.2.2. Sai (thinking): But he was right: my selfishness ruined an important game for him.
141.3.1. Sai (thinking): I'm the one that did wrong.
141.3.2. Sai (thinking): I won't tell him I want to...
141.4.1. Sai (thinking): I won't tell him I want to...
141.4.2. Sai (thinking): play Go. Too often.
142.1.1. Dealer: Thank you very much, that will be 1500 yen.
142.2.1. Gokiso: You should sell expensive Go boards, not cheap fans.
142.2.2. Dealer: Gokiso-sensei.
142.3.1. Dealer: I haven't sold that Go board yet, but I've already sold three others.
142.4.1. Gokiso: Which ones?
142.4.2. Dealer: This one, a real kaya-wood board specially priced at 20,000 yen.
142.5.1. Gokiso: You call this real kaya-wood? Well, I guess you could fool an amateur with it. What do you pay for them, 8,000 yen?
142.5.2. Dealer: Sensei, shh!
142.5.3. Gokiso: Pass me that magic marker.
143.1.1. Gokiso: You can't just right "Special". [Writes "300,000 yen"]
143.2.1. Gokiso: This'll work better. [Crosses out "300,000 yen"]
143.3.1. Dealer: Gee, it looks like you're a better businessman than I am.
143.3.2. Gokiso: Don't be silly. I'm a Go player.
143.4.1. Hikaru (in the background): Hey, calm down!
143.4.2. Gokiso: Look, I snuck you into this event. You've got to work harder fleecing these people.
143.4.3. Dealer: You can trust me to do that!
