Original subtitles

Shall we kiss?

Sure.

I'm back!

-Welcome back! -I'm back.

-Welcome. -Thanks.

Man.

I'm exhausted!

Good work today.

The traffic was terrible.

-We had great weather. -Right? I'm glad it was sunny.

Yeah.

Hey!

I'm back.

Oh no, I'm sorry. Welcome back!

What's wrong? You were all spaced out.

No, it's nothing. Good work today!

How about coffee?

Thank you.

Did you get good photos?

Well, I wonder.

-Yes? -Have you checked them?

Yes.

-Let's see. Minami? -Yes?

Please, take these to the lab by the end of today.

-Got it. -I'm counting on you.

-I'll leave right away then. -Okay.

The opening six-page gravures in Sinra.

Tetsuya Sugisaki captures nature!

So cool!

Okay.

-Let's see… -Don't peek!

Teacher, next one!

He's acting weird today.

I bet it's a woman. He must have gotten a girlfriend!

He must have gotten dumped!

He got a girlfriend!

He got dumped!

All right, write that into music.

-What? That's impossible! -What? I can't!

-I can't do that! -Come on!

It must be a woman!

The Otowado Competition?

Why don't you apply?

Me in such a big competition?

Succeed, and you'll be a pianist for the Boston City Philharmonic.

If I recall correctly, a letter of recommendation is required…

I'll recommend you.

We've been allotted three spaces for our college,

and you could fill one of them.

No, I could never do that.

Of course, it's only if you want to,

but I don't think it's a bad idea.

Or… is it a woman?

What?

What are you saying?

Let me carry this for you.

-Go ahead. -Thank you.

-Take care. -Thank you so much.

No worries, please take care!

The film…

Why?

Hey, wait! Please!

Wait!

I'm sorry!

I immediately called the bus company, but…

they can't get a hold of the bus if it's driving.

As soon as the bus returns to the garage, I'll ask them to search it immediately…

Wait, wait a minute.

-I'm going to the bus depot right now-- -Stop!

And I'll--

Sugisaki…

Come on, enough already.

It's not there, right?

I checked myself earlier too.

-I'm really sorry. -All right.

-Thank you very much. -You're welcome.

Hey, that's not the bus you rode on.

I would like to check it anyway.

Here you go.

Hi!

Welcome!

What's this?

Minami.

Oh Momo, why are you here?

Hmm?

This place smelled really good from the outside.

Ramen and gyoza, please!

Okay.

Hey. Yo, it's Shinji.

Hello?

Yo, it's me, your guy.

No, I mean… Hello, it's your man.

I mean…

I mean, it's me, your guy.

It's me… Your guy, your gentleman?

What the hell am I saying?

Shinji?

Oh… Yo.

Thank goodness.

What?

I thought you wouldn't call me.

Why?

Because you haven't called me in forever.

I thought you were just teasing me.

Of course, I'm not.

Really?

Really.

Really truly?

Really truly.

Ryoko…

Talk to me, tell me about something…

Hey!

I want to hear your voice.

Here.

That's a big screw-up, losing the film.

I'm such a failure.

Were you fired?

Then we're jobless besties again, right?

I haven't had any work lately either.

Unemployed sisters!

Sorry.

Thanks for waiting, here's your gyoza.

Hey, Momo…

Can I stay over at your place tonight?

Sure, why though?

Because…

Why?

Why?

Oh.

You can't face Sena.

You've got good intuition with these things.

I'm very sensitive to things about male and female matters.

So? What happened?

Nothing, but…

Did you do it with him?

-What? -So you did.

I thought so!

A man and a woman, both in their prime, living under the same roof?

There's no way that nothing would happen!

Well, it's more like…

You may not be conscious of it, but you're a real flirt with men.

No way, really?

Yes, really!

Right?

-You think you have zero sex appeal? -Yeah.

But you do have your own kind of sex appeal!

No way… really?

Yes, it's true.

So, when did you do it?

Well, let's see… we didn't do it.

-Really? -It's not what you're thinking.

You kissed?

How did you know?

-Oh, Minami. -What?

-You can't stay over tonight. -Why not?

My da is coming over.

Your "da"…

THE 19TH OTOWADO CLASSICAL COMPETITION

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Oh, thank--

This is just to welcome you home.

Thank you for welcoming me back.

Nice weather today, huh?

It was like an Indian summer's day.

Yes, like a beautiful day in May, wasn't it?

Right. It's not late in autumn.

Who could that be?

I wonder.

I'll… I'll get it.

Yo.

"Yo"?

-Hey. -Coming in.

What makes you think you can come here?

You took Ryoko from Sena.

Took her? That's not a nice way to talk about someone.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Why don't you come in?

What? May I?

Sure, why not?

Move over…

Come in.

-Thank you. -What's that mark on you?

Well…

She beat me up a little.

You can… you don't need a bath.

No.

Seriously, what are you doing with yourself?

What?

I'm saying this as your older sister. You're pathetic.

Is that so?

You're too old to get chased out by a woman,

with nowhere to go.

Do you have any money?

She's the one who's keeping all the money.

Sis, you know…

What?

I always seem to lose out at the most crucial moment.

Hmm?

I was just drifting for five years.

And when I had finally found a job,

and I just wanted to live my life together with Rumiko, then…

I went and fell in love with Ryoko.

Are you serious?

Idiot! Of course, I am.

It was the same with the piano too.

I was never any good at school. I was a delinquent.

I was only good at playing the piano.

I was praised and got carried away.

I thought, "This time, I'll succeed for sure!"

You got diarrhea during the music college entrance exam.

That's right.

-It was a really bad case of diarrhea. -Gross. Too much information!

No one could play the piano with that.

Mom said it was the sweetfish I ate the day before.

But that can't be true.

Because why, excluding you, why didn't Dad get sick?

Shut up.

It was me.

I was scared.

I chickened out and got diarrhea.

What a pathetic younger brother.

-Ouch! -Pathetic people sleep on the floor!

-That hurt! -All right.

What the hell?

-Here. -Hey…

This is my bed.

I'm sleeping down here?

Yes.

-I'm turning off the light. -Okay.

-Hey, sis… -Yes?

Mom…

I wonder how she's doing?

She's doing great.

She calls me all the time.

She keeps telling me to hurry up and give her a grandchild.

To me, a person who failed to get married.

You should say something to her.

I see.

Ouch…

Ouch…

Sorry, I forgot to get you stuff for your cuts.

Ouch!

From Komae to Shibuya…

Uh-huh.

On the bus, the suspect picked up a paper bag with the film in it.

Most people don't want random film.

First of all, they probably thought that there was money in it…

Momo?

I see.

Were you even listening?

I'm not as stupid as you think I am.

So someone picked up the paper bag in the bus,

and then the bus doors opened…

They got off the bus, looked in the bag, and what's inside?

"What? Just film?"

What would you do if it were you?

I would want to know what's on the film.

I would develop it!

Momo, you're the only person in the world who would do that.

Normally, people would have no use for the film,

that's why once you've seen that there's no money,

you would throw it away immediately.

I see.

So there's a possibility

that it's in a garbage can somewhere along this route.

Garbage… But inspector, garbage is cleared out on the daily, no?

According to the investigation, trash is collected once every three days.

Which means, if we examine each garbage can one by one,

we'll find the lost film!

So this is the kind of job they mean by ten thousand yen per diem?

I'm counting on you, Momo.

Understood!

-You've been practicing. -Yes.

Then…

We'll move on, and next week, let's work on the gavotte.

It's an easy one.

-Okay. -Do your best.

-Thank you very much. -Of course.

All right…

Why don't you come over to my place and talk it out with Shinji?

Is he really at your house?

He is. Why?

I thought he went to Ryoko's.

He wouldn't go there.

He hasn't even talked it over with you. Of course, he wouldn't go there.

He's not that kind of guy, right?

You know that, and that's why you're here, right?

Sena, you're a nice person.

You're good, and you're kind.

You're kind to everyone…

But you're slowly hurting people.

If you hadn't encouraged Ryoko,

Shinji might have still been with me.

Oh, sorry.

I think I'll actually go home now.

Oh, already? No, look, Shinji is here…

Hey, we have a huge flashlight, right?

Oh, Rumiko, hey there!

What's going on?

Where's Shinji?

Oh, well…

I thought they should talk it out.

So I asked Rumiko to come over.

But Shinji is not home yet.

I'm terribly sorry about my brother.

It's fine.

I'm home!

Let's… be… friends.

Just kidding.

Hey… I won at pachinko…

Oh.

Welcome home.

Rumiko…

-I think we should leave you two here. -I've found the flashlight, so--

No, wait!

Please stay.

It's over, right?

You love her, don't you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't be…

I knew that's what it was anyway.

You just picked me up at the racetrack three months ago, right?

Did you?

Hey…

I figured something like this would happen.

Can I hit you?

What?

Can I punch you once?

Hey…

Well…

Sure, but…

Yesterday,

you hit me a bunch, and I was injured and stuff.

-What's wrong? What happened? -I'm sorry.

-It went down the wrong way. -What? Your nose is running.

Blow your nose!

I understand.

I get it.

If this is the end,

then it's a good thing!

A good thing?

I can say "thank you,"

and "take care," and stuff.

"Goodbye." I can say things like that.

Goodbye!

I'll take her home.

-I'll send you home. -Goodbye.

-I'll take you home. -Goodbye.

Come on, I'm taking you home!

Goodbye!

You choked on that beer on purpose, right?

You saw that Rumiko couldn't bring her hand down to hit him.

She had already hit Shinji yesterday.

It would've only made her feel worse later.

You understand everyone's feelings, don't you?

Actually today, Rumiko told me…

What?

"Sena

you're kind to everyone."

"But you're slowly

hurting people."

When have you hurt someone?

Well, Shinji and Rumiko breaking up like that was because…

Because I encouraged Ryoko.

It's no one's fault.

It's no one's fault.

Rumiko understands that too.

She knows it's not your fault.

She knows that, but…

it's sad to say goodbye.

By the way, what are you doing?

-What? -The flashlight.

Right.

I did something awful. I lost Sugisaki's precious film.

I can't be sitting around here. I have to conduct an all-night search.

See you, I'm off.

He called me.

He said he's staying at Minami's place.

It was your place.

So I wanted to see him…

Sorry.

It's okay.

I wanted to see you.

I really wanted to see you.

I really, really wanted to see you!

I guess that's what happens when you love someone.

Ryoko, you know…

Yes?

Shinji…

He's serious.

What?

About you.

Last night Rumiko came over.

And they…

talked about breaking up.

When you fall in love with someone, all sorts of things happen.

Not everyone can be happy.

But, you and Shinji,

you have feelings for each other.

I believe you should treasure those feelings.

That's why…

you should be honest about your feelings,

and go see Shinji.

Sena…

And with that smile,

God will be on your side, too. I'm sure.

In that case…

Put out your hand.

He'll be back soon, so just go inside.

The smaller key is the one for the apartment.

"With that smile, God will be on your side, too."

I can't believe I said that.

This isn't a date?

Is it a date?

I'll…

I'll stay.

I have someone else I like.

-Hello, Teacher. -Hello.

-Hi. -Hello!

I'm home.

Sena, you're still here?

How did you…

I wanted to see you.

Has anyone seen some film?

It was in a bag this big…

Do you know of any other bins?

Film…

Yes.

It has to be by tomorrow, right?

Yes, I'll make it somehow.

I'm selecting old color photos from my archives right now.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Not those either. Yeah.

-Mr. Sugisaki! -Yes?

-You have a visitor. -What?

Excuse me…

Yes, old lady?

I am not your grandma.

My name is Nagase.

Okay…

Right…

Excuse me…

SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE. MY TREAT NEXT TIME YOU COME TO THE BAR! -SHINJI

THANK YOU SO MUCH, SENA -RYOKO

Welcome back!

Thanks.

So, what happened? Did you find the film you lost?

No. I only just stopped looking for it too.

-You were out all night? -Yes.

Wow, good effort.

I'm going to give it one more try, if I still can't find it,

I'll apologize and submit my resignation.

Resign? You mean getting fired?

Of course, I'll get fired.

To the photographer, the shots he takes are his life.

Even so, as long as he's alive, he can take more.

Not the exact same shot.

Of course not, but he might be able to take a better one.

No. Absolutely not.

I've done the worst an assistant can do. I'll take responsibility and quit.

In losing the film, I've lost my work and my man at the same time.

Back to square one!

Oh, Ryoko was here, wasn't she?

How do you know?

Sorry, I saw the note there.

You're as good a guy as ever, Sena.

Fortunately so.

If you were a bad guy, more cool and suave, you would get more girls.

"Wait a minute, baby."

"Come play with fire, with me." Like that.

No. I'm not going to say that!

I'm shocked. Whatever, bye.

Hey!

-What? -Tonight.

Let's celebrate your lost love and my lost job tonight.

What?

Lost love? Whose?

Your lost love?

Your lost love and my lost job!

Oh, mine?

Yes, sure.

But only if I'm free.

Man… See you.

I'm sorry to inform you that due to personal reasons…

No, it's not due to personal reasons.

Due to my carelessness and misconduct…

I take full responsibility and submit this letter of resignation.

I'll take these to editing.

-Thanks. Okay. -I'll be back.

Oh, Minami, excuse me.

Hey.

I…

I've looked all over, but…

So, I take full responsibility for my carelessness and misconduct--

Hey, Minami.

-Yes? -Come here a second.

There's something interesting.

What?

What?

These are…

We got them!

No way! Where?

Ms. Nagase came.

-Ms. Nagase? -Oh, the old lady you helped on the bus.

That old lady?

She came with some sweets and the film.

But, why did that old lady…

She said when she got home,

she saw a strange paper bag in the bags from her shopping.

She thought you might have put it in her bag by mistake when you helped her.

It had the address of our company on it.

So she brought it all the way here and wanted to thank you.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness!

But we have to submit it by tomorrow,

so I'll be up all night doing the captions.

Oh, my… I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

Can you help me?

Is it okay if I do?

Of course.

I'll do my best!

THE 19TH OTOWADO CLASSICAL COMPETITION

Succeed and you'll be a pianist for the Boston City Philharmonic.

A pianist for the Boston City Philharmonic.

You're kind to everyone, Sena.

But you're slowly hurting people.

It's no one's fault.

It's no one's fault.

Hey! Tonight, let's celebrate your lost love and my lost job.

Minami.

-Yes? -This one is done.

Okay.

Boston, huh?

TETSUYA SUGISAKI

All right, it's finished!

Okay! Thank you for all your hard work!

You too.

Oh, we have beer too.

Here! You're a lifesaver, thank you!

-Thank you! It's in your hands now. -Okay!

-These are very important! -Yes.

-Do not lose it! -I won't!

I'm counting on you, be safe! Don't lose it! Off you go!

The motorbike deliveryman took the package.

I'm really sorry for all the trouble.

Minami.

Let's have a drink.

-Thank you. -There you go.

Good work!

Yes, good work!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Listen, from here on, we talk about private business.

I originally invited you here as a woman.

Not as a business associate.

It's a little difficult to explain…

Minami?

Minami!

What is she doing?

Oh, sorry.

Did I wake you?

What?

What happened?

I've never had a girl fall asleep while I was flirting with her.

I'm sorry.

Why did I fall asleep?

Minami, you haven't slept in a while, right?

Oh, yeah.

Why not?

Well, last night, the bus…

The bus?

You mean you were looking all night?

I'm speechless.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I've troubled you so much already.

Why are you trying so hard?

You don't have to be 100 percent perfect.

I'm not 100 percent perfect, that's why I have to at least try.

If I say one thing…

I say another.

You're not cute.

I was born this way.

Minami.

Minami, you're always pushing yourself as hard as you can.

Like a thread pulled taut that's about to snap.

It's painful to watch.

Painful?

It's painful because…

I love you, Minami.

You always say my name,

"Minami," so affectionately, don't you?

Yes.

It makes me feel like a girl.

It's comforting.

I'm always either a senior colleague

or an older woman,

and all kinds of things to people…

It's tiring.

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm over 30 and I'm always acting tough all by myself.

I've begun to act like an old man.

Even I'm…

tired.

Are you sure you want me? A woman who's like an old man?

Just be quiet already.

Please say it one more time.

Say what?

What you just said.

What did I say?

What you said…

Well, what was it that I said?

Like I said, what you said.

I love you.

That's it.

I'll say it over and over.

I love you.

It sounds so nice.

What does?

It's nice to have a man say he loves you.

What are you talking about?

It seems unfair of me to make you say it.

I've always been the one who says it.

I can't get enough of you.

Thank you.

He lied to you.

He didn't lie. He just didn't have the opportunity to tell me.

That’s basically lying by omission!

You mean, there’s something going on between them?

I'm not in a relationship with Sena or anything like that at all.

I'll move out.

I'll find another place.

I have something to tell you too.

Are you getting married?

Bye bye!
