In Good Company by Cedric Yamanaka

In Good Company is a celebration of life in Hawai'i, beyond Waikiki and Diamond Head. Its characters work sixteen-hour-shifts at airport drive-ins, play pool with cursed hitmen, wrestle their high school sweethearts in Chinatown bars. From Manoa to Waianae to the author's hometown of Kalihi, men and women seek love, dignity, and a place to belong. At the heart of In Good Company are the mysterious - and often wonderful - things that can happen to the human spirit when one life intersects with another.

I mean, all the guys jokearound and laugh while I sit back and smile every now and then. It's like I'm watching a movie. Just watching everything going on around me. I'm not like the other guys. I can't come out with neat things to say that will make everybody laugh at the drop of a hat. I mean, I can go the whole night sometimes without saying a damn word.
