Welcome!

Double tall cappuccino, with ice.

Okay.

Double tall cappuccino, thank you for waiting.

Thanks.

Oh! Sorry.

Thank you very much.

May I serve the next customer?

Today's special.

Excuse me. Sorry, but can you guys remake this?

Excuse me.

I ordered this just now, but...

Can you get in line please?

Huh? No, I ordered this...

There's a line.

No, I was just in line a second ago, and I ordered this double tall cappuccino.

But, this is different from what I ordered, so can you guys remake this?

Can I have a mocca cappuccino?

Sorry, we will exchange that right away.

Wait a second.

You let him exchange his drink without even double checking?

And, shouldn't you say sorry to me first, since someone cut in front of me?

Cut in front of you?

Show us.

Huh?

The receipt. The proof that you ordered a double tall frappuccino.

Cappuccino.

Take it out. Couldn't it be possible that you ordered the wrong thing?

No, there isn't. I've ordered double tall cappuccinos here every day, at least a hundred times.

Huh! Well, this girl right here also has to listen to people order "cappuccinos" and "frappuccinos" every single day.

I apologize, I will bring both orders out immediately.

You're okay with that?

If you let him exchange it, that means you admit your fault.

What would you do if everyone started asking to exchange coffees that have already been drank?

Sorry.

What?

Have we met somewhere?

Don't try to change the subject!

No, I'm not trying to...

Oh!

Right? Where was it...

Wait! Wait! I need to get on! Wait!

Are you heading to the driving school?

I know the way.

What are you trying to do?

What?

What have you been trying to do?

What do you mean what?

Oh, trying to pick me up!

No, if you're going to wait for the next bus, it's faster to walk.

Go straight down this street, and turn left at the signal...

Don't worry about me!

What the...

Taxi!

Sorry, it's close, but to the driving school.

Mr. Ichizaka.

Hm?

You don't have to stop. Just listen to me while you drive.

Oh, sorry.

Going.

The road is straight, so let's speed up to 50km/h.

It's actually more dangerous if you go slow.

It seems like the way I drive shows my calm personality.

Did it hit?

Thank goodness it didn't!

I'm sorry. I'm very sorry!

Let's go.

I'll let you have today's stamp.

I'm sorry.

Thank you so much!

See you later.

You too.

Good work today.

Riichi, she's crazy.

She doesn't step on the brakes.

Miss Makino? Miss Isaki Makino?

Yes!

There you are, Miss Makino. Your paperwork is fine.

Okay.

Makino... Isaki?

...Oh!

("Makino Isaki" on board )

I will be your teaching assistant, Makino Isaki. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

(Nagatanibu Auto Repair Factory)

An intern?

Yep.

So she was an education major.

Maybe she's a teacher now.

I love female teachers. The title itself sounds dirty.

Well, how was the 10-year reunion?

How? Nothing happened, really.

So she was another one of those mid-aged ladies eating crackers all the time.

Well, not like that.

Oh well, that's a woman past 30 for you.

Anyway, Riichi, there are a lot of cute girls at the driving school right?

Are there any good ones for a film's heroine?

You don't even have a script, what are you going to do with a heroine?

Well if we use that to invite her over, things could go from there. Like you and Ayumi.

You haven't gotten over her yet?

Forget it, that's in the past.

Oh yeah.

Can you take care of this for me?

Sure.

Well, I should go back to the driving school now.

Riichi,

Huh?

You're not doing films anymore?

Like I said, that's in the past. Later.

Later.

Welcome.

I'm okay.

Welco...

Miss Koike,

It seems like you had a relaxing lunch.

Where's the manager?

I'm back.

Agh!

Oh, welcome back.

You just said "Agh!"

It's better to make a sound,

to let your body know that you're going to carry something heavy, so you don't hurt your back.

Y...yeah, you're right.

Hey, Mino-chan...

Yes?

You guys should be fine without me right?

What?

Both you and Nishiyama-san are responsible people.

So that rumor was true.

Rumor?

Yeah. Manager Sasagawa, the one same age as you, is retiring next month, right?

Everyone's saying that you will be the next area manager.

Huh?

Area manager?

There's such a rumor? I haven't heard it.

They're saying it's because of seniority.

Seniority?

They also said that it would be you even without seniority.

What should I do?

I was thinking about getting married.

You're not going to laugh?

It's no longer a laughing matter.

Let's toast.

Cheers.

What was that again?

Oh yeah, the girl at the store told me that she went on a dinner cruise with her boyfriend.

A dinner cruise, huh? I went on a couple a long time ago.

Really? I've never been on one. I kind of want to.

It's not really that interesting. You're just eating on a ship.

That's true. If you put it like that.

Isaki, can I get a response yet?

About marriage.

Yes.

Oh! Whew!

Please take care of me.

Me too.

So, you'll come to Frankfurt with me next week, right?

What? Next week?

Let's toast to that again.

Wait, Egami-san. Next week is too quick. I still have a job.

Training the new manager, right? But, looking for a new home is more important, right?

My next responsibility might be the area mana...

I might have to manage more stores, plus training the young staff.

Can you give it up?

I want to bring my daughter.

Huh? But your daughter is...

My divorced wife said okay. If it would give her the title of a foreign student, she said.

It's the harsh reality. But I can't handle her by myself.

Isaki,

You will come with me, right?

My daughter and I would much rather have you there than a hired housekeeper that we don't know.

Housekeeper?

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you for waiting.

You can't do sales your whole life anyway. You'd be happier in Germany.

Egami-san...

Hm?

I just don't think I commit to going immediately.

Oh, I see.

No, I mean, I just want to think about it a little.

That's fine.

It's asking too much, huh?

Sorry. Just forget about it.

Where's Eisuke?

Smoking.

Serizawa-san. Oil has gone up.

Then sell Socson.

But the manager told us to keep that.

Yes.

Eisuke, OPEC raised the price of oil extraction.

I heard.

OPEC raised the price of oil extraction! Serizawa, hurry and sell Socson!

I sold it first thing in the morning.

Oh really? Thanks.

Can I get a pamphlet?

Go ahead.

Excuse me mister, is there anything with the pictures of instructors on them?

Yes?

Pictures of instructors!

Sorry! It's nothing.

Just sit here and wait, Mino.

Okay.

Riichi!

Oh, Kouhei.

So there are a lot of cute girls here.

Sorry, I have to work, so if you want to talk, wait until noon.

Wait, Riichi!

Car No. 45?

Yes.

Car No. 27.

Yes!

Nice to meet you.

Please turn right next.

Yes.

Sorry about that.

That last time at Hemingway Coffee.

Maybe I'm too used to my job. When I see young people, I just want to lecture them about manners.

Young people? You mean, students?

Huh?

To tell you the truth, when you were a teaching assistant...

What happened?

Please turn off your cell phone during instruction!

It's a crime to talk on the cell while driving.

Then, why don't you answer for me?

Call from my boyfriend. If it rings, pick it up for me.

I can't reach him. After I refused to go to Germany with him, he won't answer the phone anymore.

Germany?

He asked me to go with him. He proposed.

If you turned him down, then why does it matter if you can't reach him?

How old are you?

25.

I'm so jealous. Such a shallow age.

What does that mean?

What does it mean? It means what it says.

Where should I go next?

Turn right, please.

I didn't mean to turn him down.

But it was too rushed, so I just wanted time to think about it. But somehow it became a rejection.

And your job?

I'm a manager.

Area manager.

Area manager?

Oh, you don't know. It's a level above manager.

Well, to a big shot like him, it's no different from being a salesperson, but there are a lot of responsibilities.

No I mean, you are...

But he told me to give that up and be a housekeeper. What about me, and my feelings?

I worked so hard as a manager, even when people around me got married off.

And I finally became an area manager. What about me?

Wait!

What!

You're not a teacher?

What?

I said, your job isn't teaching?

I thought I just told you! I was talking about my job.

Geez, this is why young people are...

You must be popular, right?

Huh?

I can tell. I mean, I've been talking by myself for a little bit.

A little bit?

When I complain about relationships, guys will usually say "it's your fault" or "don't know..."

But you just sat there and said "Ahh" and "Ohh". I can't even tell if you were listening.

That's because you didn't let me say more.

It seems like girls nowadays like guys who give them a lot of space and just listen.

You're popular too, right?

What?

It seems like people prefer women who speak their mind without reservation nowadays.

Without reservation?

I think a lot of guys will say they like girls like you.

Really.

Well, there is probably the same amount who will say they hate girls like you, too.

What are you doing?

It's red.

There are no new messages.

He's not calling, huh?

If I called his office, would I seem annoying?

You turned down the proposal, right?

Such a waste! It would be a big reversal for you to live abroad with a guy like that.

Big reversal?

Am I so lacking in something right now that I need a big reversal?

Don't read too much into words like that.

How old are you, Mino-chan?

24. Though I can't really say it proudly anymore.

If I could answer without hesitation like that, I wouldn't either.

What?

Read into words.

Reading...

"Oh, I see."

He said "Oh, I see" when I turned him down!

And?

When he accepts it so nonchalantly, it's kind of sad. It would be sad to keep pursuing after that.

Not "maddening"?

Maddening,

but more sad.

How old are you again?

31.

You hesitated.

Nope, I answered immediately.

Sorry!

What did you do?!

Sorry! Sorry!

Sorry about that! Once more, please.

That was good. Now please change.

Sorry, made you wait.

Don't worry about it.

Here's the graduation project.

Seems like you're busy as always.

Filming videos for karaoke again.

Are you going to Mr. Masuda's retirement party?

I had to plan it. What about you?

I want to, but it'd be so embarrassing.

But you won the Best Production award for the graduation project and joined a production company...

Yeah, but look at what I'm doing.

People who went into stocks or sports are going to be wearing nice suits, as if they are so much better.

If I knew it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have been a film major.

I could have gone to a better college, come to terms with reality and become a contributing member of society.

Well, you are already.

Riichi, are you going to work at the driving school for the rest of your life?

Of course not.

That's what I mean about not coming to terms with reality.

It's impossible to keep working and still film what I want, both in terms of time and money.

Making a living through film production was nothing more than a distant dream.

When do you think dreams end?

Well, when you reach it or give it up.

Come on, Kida!

All right!

I've got to go.

Sorry!

Area manager?

Yes.

Ms. Sasagawa, the one your age, got pregnant, right?

Well, she's leaving, and we were thinking about hiring from the outside.

But we decided that it would be better to go by seniority.

Please, take a seat.

By the way, do you have plans for marriage? No, right?

I did. But I turned it down.

Are you going to be okay? You have a lot of courage.

What does that mean?

Never mind. So are you okay with that?

Yes. I'll do my best.

Good. Running "Mrs. Panther" will be hard, but it will be worth the effort.

Huh?

Mrs. Panther?

Yes,

"Mrs. Panther."

Mrs. Panther is a brand for "Mrs." right?

Yeah, Miss Ueno from "Mrs. Panther" will take over for "Edit. For Lulu," and you will be the area manager for "Mrs. Panther."

It is confusing, huh? Wait, you're not even a "Mrs."! Oh well, that's fine with you, right?

"That's fine with you, right?" How is it fine?

I know.

But that's crazy, the choice between Germany and area manager.

Hide-chan, something for Isaki.

Taro with ice

Got it.

If you were me, would you choose "Mrs." Brand or housekeeping?

The ultimate decision.

Yes, ultimate. Very ultimate. I can't even choose. What should I do?

Well, it's not really a choice, since you can't reach Egami-san, right?

Well, excuse me, it's about time...

Time to bottoms-up our drinks?

No, I need to go back to the office. I still have some things left to do.

You're saying that, but you're going on a date, aren't you?

Here you go.

Hide, We have one leaving.

Thank you!

Well, maybe I'll drink this.

I love guys who put their work first.

Oh. Okay.

I'll see you back at the store.

Well, see you later.

Thanks for the food.

Thank you!

Lucky!

It's good that he left so fast. I would've been busted.

Busted?

Oh, nothing. Excuse me, some soft bones, and chicken please.

Got it!

Mino, don't you get tired of changing your personality according to the crowd? Wait, isn't this weird?

Not at all. Girls should be different when they're in front of guys than when it's all girls.

In fact, it's natural.

No, I mean, us sitting next to each other is weird.

Is it?

Is someone coming?

Someone came up and talked to me at the driving school, and... we decided to go on a date.

What?

What do you mean "and..."? Since when did talking mean dating?

In my days, it took so much longer to get through the "and..."

Welcome!

Mino!

Hi!

Wait, what is this?

Wait, what is this?

Please.

Excuse me.

Eisuke, they want to drink with you.

You look so bored.

Not really. Actually, can I go home?

You get jealous so easily. But I like the face you make when you look bored.

So you make movies!

Yeah, like a film director. I want to be at the Film Fest.

That's amazing!

Isn't it?

Excuse me for a second.

I'll be waiting.

So cute.

Oh yeah, did you get a hold of your boyfriend?

So old.

Huh?

That's old news. What era are you referring to?

From now on, women should be independent. We can live on our own without a man or a career.

How?

With a dream.

Excuse me, but I have to catch the last train.

Hey Mino, let's meet up by ourselves next time...

Oh, no.

She has a prince.

Prince?

A prince is going to come take her away on August 1st.

That's right.

Well, see you later.

Be careful.

I'll take you to the station!

Wait, wait. What about her?

Sorry, I'll treat you next time. Wait for me, Mino!

Thank you!

This is delicious.

I'm home!

You didn't pull out the key.

Your shoes!

American style.

I'm going to leave the keys here. I'm leaving without locking.

Okay. I want to thank you. You drink coffee right?

Don't worry about it. I'm not expecting anything.

I think it was in here.

Here it is! You can have this.

Huh?

A coupon. Thanks. See you later.

Gute Nacht.

Good night. Gute Nacht.

(Introduction to German)

Hey, you have a guest.

Guest! Are you serious...

Hey, excuse me!

Yes?

I was just with her, Isaki-san.

I see.

We were just drinking with a lot of people. She was drunk the whole time and wallowing.

Isaki was?

She was drunk probably because she got dumped.

I was the one who got dumped.

Well, I really don't know the details.

I'm leaving for Frankfurt on Monday. I wanted to talk to her for one last time.

One last time?

Oh yeah.

Can you give this to Isaki for me?

I'm not all that close to her.

I see. Well, I'll drop by her store.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome back.

All right.

Did something happen?

Huh? Why?

Because you're back all of a sudden.

Let me tell you, this place is still under my name. What's so weird about coming back to my own place?

You're the one that just left, staying at women's places instead.

What's that?

Huh?

Oh, oil-sardine, Madrid style.

Well, it's just microwaved canned food with mustard on top.

But it's really good. You want some?

What?

People who can do everything really can do everything.

I'm such a stud.

I'm going to get a drink.

Hey, Suda!

Hey, long time no see!

("Japan Arts University, Film Department Professor Jigoro Masuda Retirement Party")

Let's toast to Jigoro's health!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Sorry, couldn't get out earlier.

You're late.

Where's Kouhei?

Said he can't get out of work.

Oh, I see.

He doesn't have the ability to both work for his parents and do filming on the side.

You're still doing it as a hobby, right?

I'm so jealous, as long as you're happy with that, your job doesn't really matter to you.

Otherwise you wouldn't have become a driving instructor after being a film major.

We're pretty much the same though, aren't we?

That's true.

They don't mean any harm.

I know.

And deep down, they may be jealous. See, Riichi, you're different from us,

because you're not following anyone's footsteps. You can create something on your own.

In the end, I'm still following someone's footsteps.

Huh? Whose?

Hello everyone! How's everyone doing?

Congratulations!

Kida, you're working at TV Factory right?

I'm working hard.

What about you, Serizawa?

Same as always.

I liked your Graduation Project. If it weren't for the end credits, it would have been Best Production.

Yeah, half the movie was end credits.

It was clips of Ayumi the whole time. No matter how you look at it, it was a love letter.

And now, the Best Productions of each year's graduation projects.

Oh yeah, I remember this!

Hey.

Welcome back.

Good evening!

I bumped into her when she was leaving the driving school. How was the party?

It was all right. It was like a reunion.

Thanks.

Shouldn't you be somewhere else? Your boyfriend...

No, let's not talk about that.

No, I mean...

Here you go!

Anyway, why are you guys doing what you do after studying films?

Only a handful of people stay in the industry after graduating. For most people, the graduation project is the last film they do.

I see. So it's just for the memories.

But Riichi's was very well done. Well, it was a little too infused with emotions...

Kouhei.

Oh, sorry.

What is it? Is there a story behind it?

Oh, no.

Emotions? Is there something in the film? Like grudge? Hate? Would you die if you watched it?

Not that big of a deal.

What is it? If it's no big deal then you can tell me, right? What happened?

I was dumped. By the heroine of the film, three years ago.

Well, it's all good right? It's been three years. It's in the past!

Oh yeah, I heard you were my student.

I just did it for some college credits, but it was pretty fun.

I got to get up on the podium, act important, and lecture people.

But since I wasn't a real teacher, I didn't have to take any responsibility for it.

And everyone listened to me so intently.

I was so young, so immature. Now that I think about it, it's so embarrassing.

The YOU right now is embarrassing.

What do you mean by that?

You'd know what it means if you think about your current situation.

No, I don't. What situation?

Let's just drink.

Tell me, what kind of situation?

When the guy falls through, you run to your job. When your job falls through, you run to guys.

You don't know what you want.

That's why you can't get either. That's why you have nothing even though you're past 30.

"Don't lose hope until the end." You said it. "If you give up, then it's game over and your dream will end."

You tell people all these grandiose things, and you yourself...

Wait a second.

When did I say those things?

Huh? You don't remember?

Not at all.

You're the worst.

(Graduation Project - Two in a Million)

(Egami Masayuki)

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Kaori!

Ah, that's it.

Kaori, what's up?

That number is not in service. Please dial again.

Are you thinking about difficult things again?

No, simple things. I decided that I like this better.

This?

Hey, what do you mean by "this"?

Car No. 27. Ichizaka-san, Yamaguchi-san, Makino-san.

Yes.

Good morning.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

This will be an observation session. Please watch how I drive and use it for future reference.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's get in the car.

Yes.

Go ahead, in the front.

We just have to sit here silently for this observation session?

Looks like it.

You don't have to go?

Go? Where?

To the airport.

Airport? Why?

See him off?

Who?

Your boyfriend, or your ex, I don't know, but isn't he leaving for Germany today?

Today?

He said Monday.

Why do you know?

Because he came.

Came? Where?

He came to your place.

Umm, it's red.

Why? Why did he come?

I don't know. He probably wanted to talk to you.

Talk? Talk about what?

Don't ask me. And, he said he would drop by the store too.

What should I do? What should I do?

What do you mean? What do you want to do?

Don't ask me!

Well, it's completely your business.

I mean, you turned his proposal down, right?

Right, but that was because I didn't think I would become the "Mrs." manager. What did he want to talk about?

"Mrs."?

Hey! No cell phone during instruction! Hey!

Yes, "Edit. For Lulu."

Oh, manager.

Someone asking for you? Please wait a second.

Yes, seems like there was.

And?

He left something that looks like tickets.

Tickets?

Tickets...

Sorry, Miss Nishiyama, is there a size on this?

Excuse me, we're a little busy right now.

From what I've been hearing, it would make sense that those tickets would be for a plane ride to Germany...

Go!

Turn in at the next street. I have to go to the store to get the tickets. What should I do?

Forget it. Get on. Get on the highway. Go to Narita Airport!

Are you joking? This is an instruction session.

I was your favorite teacher, right?

I was your favorite, right!?

Thank you for the past two weeks.

I just have one thing to say to all of you.

You can do it!

Don't lose hope until the very end.

If you give up, it's game over.

The dream will end the moment you give up.

Instructor, are you sure this is okay? If you get busted...

I would definitely be fired.

Which way is to Germany?

That way!

Ask the information desk!

Oh yeah! Thanks!

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

You know, the...

Excuse me, can you look up the flights to Frankfurt?

Please hold on one second. All the flights today have already departed.

Have already departed.

Don't look at me, it's not my fault.

I know.

Riichi-kun?

I knew it was you. Long time no see.

Ayumi.

Well, see you.

Ayumi!

Umm...

Are you still doing films?

No, just working like any normal adult.

I see.

My cell number didn't change, so if something's going on...

Yeah, I'll call you.

Okay. See you later.

Has your place changed?

Yeah, it's still the same.

Then, you're still with your brother, Eisuke?

We're separate now.

I see.

Bye.

Manager.

Yes?

Please take a look at this.

Yes.

What? You...

Thanks for understanding.

Wait, Serizawa-kun. Serizawa-kun! Hey, Serizawa-kun...

(Letter of Resignation)

If you ask his company, they'll tell you his contact information in Germany.

Don't worry, we won't tell the driving school.

In return, don't forget to stamp our cards for today.

I see, a sudden engine problem, huh?

I'm sorry.

Well, just let us know next time.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Sorry, I'm late. Did anything happen?

Everything was fine.

Okay.

Can I have one second?

Okay.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'll treat you.

Huh?

What do you want?

No, it's fine.

What was it that you ordered last time?

Double...tall...double...tall...

Cappuccino.

Okay.

Here you go.

Thanks.

I forgot to thank you for earlier.

I said cappuccino, right?

What? Is it wrong?

This is a frappuccino.

It's okay. Maybe this one's better.

You don't know until you try it. It's like life.

What is it?

I just remembered you saying the same thing before.

Oh, a long time ago.

Despite what I seem like right now, I was a pretty good student in high school.

My parents and everyone around me thought I would go to a decent college and get a decent job.

Then I started thinking, maybe that's the best for me, too. I decided that if my brother couldn't do it, then I can't either.

I've always followed in my brother's footsteps. I was into videogames in elementary school, soccer in middle school.

Filming director, too, was my brother's dream at first.

But he gave that up quickly and became a highly-paid investment banker.

So I thought, I should just give it up. But you...

But during the last lecture, you said it so blatantly, like it was so obvious.

Obvious?

That if you gave up, your dream would end.

I was moved by that, your words.

"Slam Dunk."

The quote, "if you give up, your dream would end." It's from "Slam Dunk." I remember now.

I really wanted to find something cool to say on the last day, and I couldn't think of anything. So I just took it from the comic book.

Oh, you don't know? The comic book series. Such a generation gap.

No, I know.

Really? That was my bible.

Comic book. Because of a comic book, my life...

I remember now, I was such an idiot.

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm very bad at lying.

I can tell.

So I really thought that at the time.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said it.

Actually, I'm grateful for it.

You only live life once, and I want to at least give it a shot. I've only been running away after college exams.

I didn't work hard toward my dream, or come to terms with reality. I was afraid of the consequences, and kept stepping on my brakes.

Well,

you've restarted.

You ran today, for me.

Did you find your tickets?

Yes.

Why don't you go after him? It's not too late.

Maybe. Maybe that would be for the best.

You're not going to open it?

It's pointless now.

Maybe there's a love letter inside.

What is it?

The pier...

Huh?

It wasn't the airport. Just the pier.

It wasn't for Germany.

Just a dinner cruise.

"I'll be leaving for Frankfurt on Monday.

Thank you for everything.

I can't go with you on the dinner cruise,

but please find someone to enjoy it with you."

I won't give up.

I'm his girlfriend!

Everyone falls in love with my brother.

Would you propose?

Why does it matter who she likes?

I won't break up.

Why do you tell me these things?

Go home, it's none of your business.
