[Background music]

2
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:37,040
Kenichi, let's have a good drink today.

3
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,390
Sure. So, how's work going?

4
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,300
It's going alright, I suppose.

5
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:44,760
I see.

6
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,870
Even so, having work and being busy is a good thing.

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,940
He comes home late every day.

8
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,420
But isn't that a good thing in a way?

9
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:57,260
Ken-chan.

10
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,480
Work is important, but isn't it about time?

11
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,820
Both of yours were girls, weren't they?

12
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:09,000
I was hoping for a boy.

13
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Mom, come on.

14
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Kenichi works hard every night.

15
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,080
A man has to work, after all.

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Is that so?

17
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:19,420
That's right.

18
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:24,420
But you're making my precious daughter feel lonely.

19
00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:28,500
Even on days when he says he'll be home early,

20
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,740
he suddenly has a drinking engagement and comes home late.

21
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,700
He won't even eat the meal I went to the trouble of making.

22
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:36,980
That must feel lonely.

23
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,480
Don't say that.

24
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:43,780
But, Mom...

25
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,220
I understand how you feel.

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,220
See?

[Background conversation/noise; speech indistinct]

28

Someone's here.

29
00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:23,660
Oh no.

30
00:02:24,090 --> 00:02:25,110
I'm home.

31
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:27,510
Welcome home.

32
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:30,010
Good evening.

33
00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:31,030
Long time no see.

34
00:02:32,410 --> 00:02:35,010
We're having dinner. Would you like to join us?

35
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:39,610
I'm a little tired, so I think I'll take a bath and go to bed.

36
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:41,330
You've been so busy lately.

37
00:02:42,250 --> 00:02:43,230
Then take it easy.

38
00:02:46,330 --> 00:02:47,790
Good night.

39
00:02:49,730 --> 00:02:51,290
Shiori must be busy too.

40
00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:54,470
She really works every single day.

41
00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:56,430
That must be hard, sis.

42
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,360
That's why we hardly ever all have dinner together.

43
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,100
It gets a little lonely these days.

44
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:05,920
It can't be helped. That's what having a job is like.

45
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,140
Dad, let me.

46
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:19,700
Oh, it's all gone. Then I'll just have a little more.

47
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,780
Dad, I'll go and get it.

48
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:24,200
Sorry about that.

49
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:25,860
The refrigerator is over there, right?

50
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,280
Yes, over there. You know where it is.

51
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:27,850
Yeah, I'm fine.

52
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:30,120
Sorry.

53
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,340
It's fine, really.

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Good.

55
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:34,340
You can really drink, can't you?

56
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,240
I still just sip my beer little by little.

57
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,160
I've only recently started being able to drink beer.

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Ryoko drinks better than she used to too.

[Non-dialogue audio]

60
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,260
Mom, you have some too. It's been a while since you drank sake.

61
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Weren't you going to bed?

62
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,180
I got a little hungry.

63
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:40,340
I see.

64
00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:41,800
Maybe I'll have a drink with you.

65
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:46,760
Then sit here next to Ryoko.

66
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:47,960
Okay.

67

Thank you.

70
00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:05,540
Would you like this? Thanks.

71
00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:09,480
Since we're all together for once, let's make a toast.

72
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,180
Alright. Ready?

73
00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:16,380
Okay then. Cheers!

74
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:23,470

It feels like it's been a long time since we did this.

76
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:33,080
It's best when everyone is together.

77
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,720
I'm hungry. Go on, eat.

78
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,620
I worked hard making all of this.

79
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,580
Did you put carrots in this?

80
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:47,560
Of course. Carrots add color.

81
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,760
You like carrots, don't you, Shiori?

82
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,660
I do.

83
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,300
If you keep taking only those, we'll run out of carrots.

84
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Did you try it? Yes. It's delicious.

85
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,780
Really? I'll make it again, so eat with us sometimes.

86
00:07:02,780 --> 00:07:06,620
I will. But isn't there a little too much mayonnaise today?

87
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:09,320
Sorry. Too much came out at once.

88
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,400
Forgive me. That happens sometimes.

89
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:18,380
You always get home around this time, don't you?

90
00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:22,300
Then you go straight into the bath, so we hardly get to talk.

91
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:26,820
Sometimes we don't even see your face.

92
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:30,800
We start worrying whether you're even alive.

93
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,720
Work is important, but maybe it's time

94
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
to settle down like Ryoko.

95
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,180
I think a woman who works and supports herself is admirable.

96
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:46,580
That's true.

99
00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:57,060
Still, you should give it some thought, sis.

100
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,720
I have thought about it, but work is especially busy right now.

101
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,220
Kenichi, are you drinking?

102
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,020
I'm fine. I'm drinking.

103
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Ryoko, pour him another one.

104
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:10,740
Ken-chan is already on his second.

105
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:16,460
Have you been busy at work lately?

106
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,580
Yes, very busy.

107
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:23,160
How late do you usually work?

108
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Recently, I often work until around ten.

109
00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:31,440
I usually end up catching something close to the last train.

110
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,240
That sounds exhausting.

111
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,240
Ryoko must get lonely.

112
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,160
Are you alright? Tell him.

113
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:44,060
Things are difficult at my workplace too.

114
00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:48,540
There are managers who make nasty, sarcastic remarks.

115
00:08:48,580 --> 00:08:50,840
You find people like that everywhere.

116
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,960
It's awful, isn't it?

117
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,260
It really is troublesome.

118
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,060
It gets so discouraging.

119
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,260
That must be hard.

120
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,740
But people like that will often listen if you speak to them.

121
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:07,620
Maybe you should make suggestions yourself.

122
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:10,680
Do you think that would help?

123
00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:13,120
I think that's important too.

124
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,000
They only ever make me do photocopying.

125
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Did you like it?

126
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,540
Whenever I make this, it turns watery. I wonder why.

127
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:25,340
Maybe it's how you cut the onions.

128
00:09:26,260 --> 00:09:27,250
I want to do proper work.

129
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:31,760
I want to be given real responsibilities.

130
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,780
You need to make yourself heard properly.

131
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,470
I really do want to keep working.

132
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:46,320
There are women in ordinary companies who made their abilities clear to their bosses

133
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,820
and were promoted, so that kind of effort matters.

134
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,680
You'll be alright.

135
00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:57,400
Really? I'm glad Kenichi is willing to listen to me.

136
00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:00,490
Show the company what you can do and you'll be fine.

137
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,580
If I had a manager like Kenichi, I'd definitely follow him.

138
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Oh, come on.

139
00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:08,720
I mean it.

140
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,160
I can't follow my current manager anymore.

141
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,440
I'm not anything special.

142
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,260
I still have a long way to go.

143
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,280
You would be dependable, Kenichi.

144
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:24,160
I think so too.

145
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,160
No, really, I'm not.

146
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:32,220
But if Shiori works hard, I think she can move up.

147
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:33,800
Exactly.

148
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:38,180
You're such a gentleman, and you're kind.

149
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,980
I wish we had a manager like you.

150
00:10:44,420 --> 00:10:46,740
I'm really not that impressive.

151
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:52,840
At my company, there are hardly any men who support the female employees.

152
00:10:52,840 --> 00:11:00,340
Even when we approach them, they often won't listen or give us advice.

153
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,640
That's why I thought I could ask you for advice anytime.

154
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,660
Of course. You can talk to me whenever you need.

155
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Really? That makes me happy.

I want to go.

159
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Mm. Delicious.

I'm sure you'll be alright, Shiori.

I'm starting to feel more confident.

163

You'll be fine. You have the ability.

165
00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:58,540
Kenichi works for an electronics manufacturer, right?

166

Yes, that's right.

167
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Yes, that's right.

168
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,240
I recently bought a DVD player,

169
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,200
but I don't know how to connect the cables.

170
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,900
It's simple.

171
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:17,680
Could you set it up for me and show me how?

172
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,290
Of course.

173
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,920
I couldn't manage it at all. It's difficult.

174
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,980
That would be easy for Ken-chan, right?

175
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,260
Even the instruction manual didn't help.

176
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,200
It really is simple.

177
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Then why don't you go and do it now?

Yes, that's fine.

180

00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,300
Okay.

184
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,700
Ah, so this is it.

185
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:22,160
I've been drinking, so I'm not sure why, but seeing you got me excited.

186
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Wait... ah, wait a second.

187
00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:38,900
No.

188
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,380
It's not working...

189
00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:51,320
Sorry... it's okay.

190
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:12,900
Are you okay?

191
00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:46,900
It's not working...

192
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,880
It's okay. It's okay.

193
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:04,200
It's okay.

194
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:20,100
It's okay.

195
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:32,200
Are you okay?

196
00:15:32,270 --> 00:15:33,430
Ah... no.

197
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,620
That's right. It's okay.

198
00:15:51,390 --> 00:15:55,400
It's not working... it's okay.

199
00:15:59,740 --> 00:16:03,740
Are you okay?

200
00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:33,740
Are you okay?

201
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:01,310
That's strange...

202
00:17:19,820 --> 00:17:21,340
Is this enough?

203
00:17:21,850 --> 00:17:24,180
Yeah... yeah.

204
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
It's okay... wait.

205
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Wait...

206
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Wait.

207
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Wait...

208
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Wait.

209
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Wait...

210
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Wait... no, don't.

211
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,400
It's alright. Don't let go.

212
00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:28,850
It's okay.

213
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:29,660
Okay?

214
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:33,130
Okay?

215
00:18:38,010 --> 00:18:39,270
Yeah.

216
00:19:18,410 --> 00:19:22,410
Okay?

217
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:32,880
Okay?

218
00:19:44,170 --> 00:19:47,170
Yeah...

219
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:54,910
[Laughs] Yeah.

220
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,480
[Laughs softly]

221
00:21:09,860 --> 00:21:11,860
Mm.

222
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Don't rush...

223
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:17,390
[Laughs]

224
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,420
Hm?

225
00:23:38,290 --> 00:23:38,930
Yeah.

226
00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:28,000
No... it stopped.

227
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:45,220
Doing this in a situation like this is kind of exciting, isn't it?

228
00:24:45,230 --> 00:24:46,690
Yeah.

229
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:05,650
Yeah, let's have someone take a picture.
Okay.

230
00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:07,500
Oh, I can see it!

231
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:10,480
Thank you.

232
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Can you see it now?

233
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,880
Yeah, I can see it now.

234
00:25:14,060 --> 00:25:15,380
He showed me how to do everything from scratch.

235
00:25:15,380 --> 00:25:16,600
That's good.

236
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,300
Thank you.

237
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:18,010
I'm glad I could help.

238
00:25:18,770 --> 00:25:20,970
It was easy. Sorry for troubling you.

239
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:23,670
I'm glad I could help.

240
00:25:25,450 --> 00:25:26,810
That's good.

241
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
[Laughs softly]

242
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:29,150
Sorry, Ryoko.

243
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:31,670
It's completely fine. Feel free to ask him anytime.

244
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Thank you.

245
00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:36,370
I'm always happy to help.

246
00:25:36,930 --> 00:25:40,910
We were just talking about taking a trip to Hokkaido.

247
00:25:40,910 --> 00:25:42,130
What do you think, Ken-chan?

248
00:25:42,170 --> 00:25:42,590
Sounds good.

249
00:25:43,550 --> 00:25:44,840
Wait, what about me?

250
00:25:45,090 --> 00:25:47,840
You never come. You always say you're busy with work.

251
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,430
You're always so busy.

252
00:25:49,050 --> 00:25:52,710
Tell me the dates and I'll make time. I want to go too!

253
00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:56,710
Really? Then let's all go together.

254
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Yeah, yeah.

255
00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:01,220
Ken-chan, you'll be able to come, right?

256
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:03,820
Yes. I'll clear my schedule.

257
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,320
Great. Then let's go.

258
00:26:07,340 --> 00:26:08,220
I'll look into it.

259
00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:09,240
I'm looking forward to it.

260
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,840
Please do.

261
00:26:11,660 --> 00:26:12,940
Three nights should be fine, right?

262
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,190
