I'm home

I should've listened to you and taken my umbrella

I'm soaking wet

So I called him outside on his lunch break and I told him,

"There's lots of guys waiting to take your place"

Right at the busiest time of the lunch hour,

he was just spacing out in the kitchen

He's totally not helpful

Who does he think runs that place?

What?

I think he's 3 years younger than me

That's right, he's an only child

His parents totally spoiled him Unbelievable

Well, who cares about him anyway

What do you think? It's so late already

Skip the bath tonight?

Nozomi... You're beautiful

Nozomi...

Welcome

Welcome Yes, just a moment

Welcome

It's so cold

You're beautiful today, too

I'm off

Beau-ti-ful

Do you remember when that family

was murdered in that upper-class neighborhood?

It says here it happened on the 20th of last month

A judge and his wife

and their daughter, a pianist

Each of them murdered in their sleep, late at night

The murderer was already arrested

He was a failed student

Her parents wouldn't let him date their daughter

"Don't copy me

"Mr. Echo

"Mr. Copycat"

Cold!

Come here

Rio!

Yuzu! Yuzuki! Come here

Haruna! Come!

Yuuki!

Are you looking for something?

Help Wanted

Here we are!

This hill!

Pretending to go straight!

It warmed you up

I found myself with a heart...

With a heart I was not supposed to have

Movies are made with film

Light passes through it and on to a screen

Film

Right You never watched a movie?

That's just a substitute. You have to watch movies in a movie theater

Movie... theater?

Kids these days are unbelievable

What have you seen at a theater recently?

Me?

You know...

There's this one or...

But you can't beat

"Battles Without Honor and Humanity"

"Battles Without Honor and Humanity..."

Battles...

Without...

Don't worry, don't worry

It'll be fine. Don't worry about what your boss told you

I don't see you that way at all

So don't you worry

I can't believe they keep

that useless guy in charge

What are they thinking? Right, exactly

Thank you very much

Thank you...

What are you looking for?

What?

What?

Wasn't "Battles" great?

"I've still got bullets left, Yamamori san"

Didn't you watch Part 1?

Part 2 is "Hiroshima" Want to rent both?

What are you doing for Christmas, Nozomi?

With your boyfriend?

Your boyfriend, your favorite guy

You have one, right?

No

Really?

Yes

The first time

I asked my wife out to a movie "Love Story"

I told a lie

Because I found a heart, I told a lie

"Planet of the Apes"

"Purple Noon"

Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"

Junichi likes musicals

Musicals are fun movies with singing and dancing

"There's Something About Mary" is supposed to be really funny

The water's just right

You've got to get all the way in

Your only flaw is that your body's so cold

Can you tell?

Smells great It's a popular shampoo

I spent 100 Yen more than the usual shampoo

100 Yen makes a big difference

Great...

Lucky you You don't age

I... found a white hair down there

What a shock

I wonder how much longer I can make love with you

So damned pretty

The Winter Triangle

Don't make me repeat myself

Can't you ever remember?

There's Sirius

And Procyon

And Betelgeuse

That's not true You're beautiful, too

No point being jealous of the stars

I am an air doll

A substitute for handling sexual desire

Nozomi... Always stay beside me

Do you like it?

What is up there?

Up in the sky, there's air And clouds float there

At night, the moon and the stars come out

It's invisible so you can't see it But it's there

You can't see it But it's there

Hard to understand

Is that the ocean?

Yes, that's right

Have you never seen the ocean?

No

There's so many boats

What does it mean "To get old"?

It means aging and getting closer to death

Death?

Yes

Losing life

Life...

Even here, you can smell the sea

This smell reminds me of my childhood

Reminds me, too...

You can eat your broccoli

Aren't you going to eat?

No

Moe, that's not a comb

But Ariel was doing it

Who?

A-ri-el

Ariel... Right, she was

You don't know, Daddy I saw it with Mommy

Excuse me

A beer

And also, what I asked for before

Yes, sir

Hey, you ate your carrot?

Yeah

You can eat the rest then

Hey, what happened?

A blackout?

Is it a blackout?

What?

A birthday

A birthday?

They're celebrating the day she was born into this world

Look, a present from your mom

Blow them out

Does everybody have one? A birthday?

What's that?

White clover

White clover... White clover...

That's a dandelion

Is this about to be born, now?

No, it's already wilted

Poor thing

But it has to die someday

Otherwise the world would be overrun

Hard to understand

What else do you want to know?

I want to know more about you

"Candy..."

"5,980 Yen"

I'm home

Were you lonely?

Okabe suddenly took the day off

What's he thinking...

I'm an air doll

A late model, cheap one...

A girl called Ari or Mari or something,

is combing her hair with a fork, like this...

You don't know?

No...

That must be "The Little Mermaid" It's over here

You have it Thanks

I'm sorry...

A movie with a super-bad cop in it

Like a totally corrupt cop, making bad drug deals, rotten to the core

Rotten?

Yeah, got anything?

Then, how about,

"Bad Lieutenant", Abel Ferrara

Is it really bad?

It's more than bad Harvey Keitel is the worst

The worst...

Why don't you rent "Donnie Brasco", too?

Al Pacino plays a guy in the mafia

- And Johnny Depp is a cop? - Yeah

- I already saw it - You did

Excuse me...

You can wipe them off with this

The lines

Lines?

Lines?

"Dreams?"

"Dream..."

"Dream?"

OK, how about Theo Angelopoulos'

"The Beekeeper"

Gelo?

Angelo...

Across the river there's a big DVD store

You can't rent "Dream of Light" You have to buy it

"The Beekeeper" comes in a box set,

so you probably can't rent it, even there

Thanks

Across the river...

Thank you

I'm sorry...

I am useless...

What's your name?

Look at the flowers

What's the flower called?

Excuse me

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Excuse me

Say, do you know a bug called the mayfly?

The mayfly...

Dies a day or 2 after it gives birth

So its body is empty

No stomach or intestines

It's filled with eggs instead

It's a creature that's born only to give birth

Humans aren't so different

Pointless...

I'm empty, too...

A marvelous coincidence I'm the same...

I'm all empty

I wonder if there are others

These days, everybody is

Everybody?

Yes, especially,

everyone living in this kind of city

You're not the only one

Say, do you know this poem?

Poem?

You don't know poems?

Doesn't matter,

"Life is..."

Life is...

Let's see, "life is..."

Let's see, life is?

It seems life

is constructed in a way

that no one can fulfill it alone

Just as

it's not enough for flowers

to have pistils and stamens

An insect or a breeze

must introduce a pistil to a stamen

Life contains its own absence,

which only an Other can fulfill

It seems the world is the summation of Others

And yet,

We neither know nor are told

that we will fulfill each other

We lead our scattered lives,

perfectly unaware of each other...

Welcome, would you like to buy a cake?

The master has come home

Welcome back, Master

Or at times, allowed to find

the Other's presence disagreeable

Why is it,

that the world is constructed so loosely?

I'm Misato

How old are you, Misato?

I'm 24

24...

Misato, do you know a good restaurant nearby?

I just started yesterday

I understand

What do you like?

I like pasta

I like pasta, too!

I want Extra Rice

I want Extra Rice, too

Cancel the ham and cheese hamburg steak

Lunch specials?

More water with lots of ice

Right away

I'll take the lunch special instead

The lunch special?

The suspect, Kume, confessed that

he had bought one gram from a foreigner for 7,000 Yen when he traveled to Osaka

So expensive...

A horse fly,

bathed in light,

flies in close

to a blooming flower

I, too, might have been

someone's horse fly

Perhaps you, too,

had once been my breeze

No customers...

No...

I hope it'll be OK

I like it here...

This store

What's the name of the movie adapted

from a Stephen King novel, starring River Phoenix when he was 15?

"Stand by Me"

Correct

Great!

OK, then,

the Hollywood movie that became Matsuda Yusaku's last film?

Don't look...

Air... You need air...

Where's the plug?

Stomach

Sorry

Don't look...

But...

You're... Fine now

A little... while longer...

I'm off

Going to get old

You see, I'm going to get old

Were you surprised?

Yeah

But...

But I hear there are plenty of others like me

Someone said that

Me, too...

Really?

I'm not so different

I see But...

I guess you're right

When I first met you, I sort of felt,

that you were just like me

A marv...

I hit the jackpot at Pachinko

A marvelous... Coincidence

What?

Nothing

So damned pretty

There's Sirius And Procyon

How did you get an Osaka accent?

An Osaka accent?

A movie I saw a movie

What was it called...

The other day... How did you feel?

The other day?

In the store

When you breathed into me?

No...

When the air left your body

Was it painful?

Yes

It was painful

Having a heart

was heartbreaking

Misato's only virtue is that she's young

They'll stop spoiling her soon

She's just a part-time employee That's all

That's right

She's not going to last long anyway

You don't need to worry about her

But...

It'll be fine

You know there's no one that can take your place

Really?

Really?

7:18 PM, the 9th

He said, "My pension's gone You stole it, didn't you"

He just kept accusing me over and over,

and I just got so mad...

I'm sorry

No, no, that happened in Osaka

The suspect confessed and has been arrested

Don't worry

It has nothing to do with you

Nothing?

Nothing at all

I've got work I can't visit until spring

Listen, did you come here while I was out?

I told you not to clean up my stuff

Did you throw it out?

Well, it's not that important

Why don't you give them to your neighbors?

How strange

Your sister's having her second baby next year

You don't have to grow apples with us,

but it's time you come home

Can't you remember how to take orders? You've worked here for years now

It's fine with me if you want to quit

There's lots of guys waiting to take your place

What's so funny It's revolting when you smile

Sorry

Movies for Crying

Excuse me

Hello

How can I help?

This one

Thank you for your business

Did you guys already do it?

You did it with Junichi, right?

You don't have to hide it You're seeing him, right?

No

Is that your boyfriend?

I saw you in the park

You were with him

I bet Junichi doesn't know about that guy

You do this with anybody

Girls these days...

Harue...

Hey, touch me Here

Hey, touch me...

Here...

Harue

I am an air doll

A substitute for handling sexual desire

I am...

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Nozomi

Nozomi...

How is it?

Nozomi...

The white star of the first magnitude, Procyon

The triangle linking those 3 stars

is called The Winter Triangle

Got that?

No, I'll get wet

I have to pee

What?

Nozomi?

You bought her a cake Is it her birthday?

No...

I got one for you, too On the day I welcomed you here

I don't know... I don't remember that

I really did

I took a picture

I...

I found a heart

A heart?

Yes, a heart

Why?

I don't know

Tell me, what do you like about me?

What do I like?

You don't know, do you?

Even the name, Nozomi, is your old girlfriend's name

You read my blog?

I'm just a substitute for her

But...

I mean...

Sure, at first, I was lonely without her

But now, it's different

No, what am I saying...

Why me?

Why?

It doesn't have to be me, right?

Right?

The picture...

Listen, will you do me a favor?

Can you go back to being the old doll?

The old doll?

Yeah, the normal, plain old doll Can't you?

You wish I hadn't found a heart?

Yeah

It's just annoying

This stuff annoys me, which is why

I chose you in the first place

I'm annoying...

What a mean thing to say

That's not what I mean, it's not

You're not annoying, it's humans who are

Nozomi!

Nozomi!

Nozomi!

Thank you

I hate dogs

They get old so fast

and die before you know it

Having a dog just makes you lonely

Is this you?

Yes

I used to be a substitute high school teacher

A substitute?

That's right

I was always an empty substitute

Were you lonely?

I wonder...

I can't remember anymore

Do you mind,

touching me?

That feels so good

Me, too... See?

They always say, people with cold hands,

have warm hearts

Maybe it's just a superstition...

Welcome home

I'm home

I made you, but I don't know the answer

But I doubt even God knows

why the humans he made have hearts

Do you wish you'd never found a heart?

I don't know, but...

It hurts

They all started out the same,

but by the time they come back here,

you can tell from their faces whether they've been loved

I think that must mean they all have hearts, too

What will happen to them?

Once a year, in spring, I throw them all away

Unfortunately, they're "Not burnable garbage"

Not burnable garbage

After all, once we die, we're "Burnable garbage"

It's not such a big difference

Burnable garbage

Can you tell me one thing?

Was everything you saw in this world sad?

Was there something, anything, that was beautiful?

I'm glad to hear that

Thank you for having me

No, thank you

Off you go

I'm off

I don't mind if I'm a substitute for someone else

You're not a substitute for anyone

I'll do anything for you

That's what I was born for

Whatever you want

Really?

Yes

I can do whatever I want?

Yes, whatever you want

I couldn't ask anyone else, but...

With you...

Something only I can do?

Yes

What is it?

I want to let your air out

Let my air out?

Yes

But...

Don't worry

I'll breathe into you like before

But...

Why?

Sure, do whatever you want

Where's your plug?

I'll fill you with my breath

Just like you did for me

I couldn't exhale

my breath into Junichi

You alone?

You are alone

What a jerk

I found a heart

Did you see the news?

They found his body in the trash

Just across the river

Let's trade

Moe, don't touch the garbage

OK

Off you go

I'm off

Mommy

Hey!

Moe! Your gym clothes!

Beautiful
