Sony Pictures has released a comical clip from the upcoming live-action The Way of the Househusband movie that is based on the manga of the same name. In the video, the titular househusband, Tatsu, has to ask the head of a local real estate company, Kondō, for neighborhood association fees. Kondō proceeds to act like a mafia boss, shooting off Italian phrases throughout the conversation.

He was the fiercest member of the yakuza, a man who left countless underworld legends in his wake. They called him ‘the Immortal Dragon.’ But one day he walked away from it all to walk another path—the path of the househusband! The curtain rises on this cozy yakuza comedy.”
