Original subtitles

- Do you have it? - I've got it.

Really, I'm fine.

- I'm heading back. - Ok.

A child?

Ryo-san's.

I wonder if it's raining out.

Don't ask me what I'm going to do right now.

Shimamura-san! Shimamura-san!

Why didn't you let me know? Help!

Oww.

- Do you have to pee? - Where's mom?

Your mom is at work. You don't have to go pee?

- Nope. - Ok. So let's head on back to bed, then.

- Ok.

- Sure you don't need to go pee? - I'm fine.

Thanks. Sure.

Did you get the phone?

I passed it along. Yeah.

I'm fine. Yes. Really, I'm fine.

- Huh? - Eh? Oh.

Um. Fujinomiya. You're not going back to Fujinomiya?

That's right. Thought I'd look for work.

Work? Ah. Of course.

Registered at a temp agency. Things are moving along.

- Is that so? - Yep.

So what is it that you want?

Sorry about what happened recently.

- Eh? - For what happened at Uehara-san's place.

- Ah. - Was wondering how you were doing.

That made me reflect on things.

I never told you that I appreciated you.

- Ah. No big deal. - I wish I had.

It's really no big deal. I was the same.

Please apologize to Kono-san for me.

I made things a little awkward.

But I honestly hope things work out between the two of you.

Hm? Have things gotten weird?

- Sorry. - Kono-san is pregnant.

I see.

It seems she still hasn't told Uehara-san.

She said there's no going back,

but with the pregnancy...

What am I supposed to do? Or...

I wonder what Kono-san is going to do.

- You there? - I don't get it.

- Hm? - This has nothing to do with me,

- so why are you telling me this? - Ah, I'm sorry.

I didn't intend anything by it.

Forget I said anything.

That's not what I wanted to talk with you about right now.

Maybe you should become the child's father?

- Eh? - That seems like the best way to settle it.

- No way. - Yes.

I mean, you wanted to be together, right?

Or you weren't all that serious to begin with?

Why are we even having this conversation.

Don't you feel like you should take some responsibility?

- No, I don't. - Yeah.

Yeah, that's right. If you become the father

maybe you'll even change a little.

I never said anything about fathering the child.

Yuka, why are you saying these things?

I... When you said you wanted a child,

and I said that I didn't want one.

I know how bad that made you feel.

I deeply regretted it at the time and still do.

But that's how I felt at the moment.

I never said anything half-heartedly.

And now that Kono-san is pregnant...

suddenly I jump in to be the father?

I won't. I can't. This is absurd.

If I did that, that would just make what I said to you a lie.

It would just hurt you.

I don't see the meaning of this.

Is that how you think of me?

Is that how you see me?

Why must we say hurtful things to each other at a time like this?

All I wanted was to know how you were doing.

Come on.

This is a bother. Don't call me back.

[The number you dialed cannot be reached.]

I had a job doing nothing but labeling for 60 days.

After that, it was mostly secretarial work.

I haven't had any serious work experience.

Secretary is a noble profession.

- Eh? - What?

It's nothing.

Things are a bit tough at the moment, so I think

it's best to search for part-time work.

How about checking back here periodically?

I'll do that.

- Eh? Impossible, don't you think? - Hm, I didn't think so.

This is a maid cafe. Impossible.

I wouldn't say it's impossible. But just barely.

I'm the one saying it's impossible.

Aren't you from the generation that had cell phones with antennas?

And I bet you had it decked it out with glittery decorations, too?

Sure did, meow!

Exactly 22 years old. Just what I've been looking for.

You can definitely make it. This sort of thing.

- Excuse me... - Eh?

I'm not a shady character.

You're quite shady.

What's with the tan? Despite the fact it's only March.

- I went to Guam. - Why are you teeth so white?

Hey, you're beautiful.

Any interest in this kind of work?

-Modeling work? - Modeling. Onsen type.

Ah, is that where the models are covered with a towel?

That's it.

This sort of thing.

There are no towels covering the models in this, huh?

This is a very popular series right now. It's up to part 12.

They remove their towels in this, don't they?

- If you want to boil it down. - Can't do it.

- You can do it. - I said I can't do it.

You're beautiful. Class A, so

this is what I can give you.

300 million yen? A measly 30,000, I bet.

300,000. Per film if you sign a 3 film contract.

My heart wavered for a fraction of a second.

The wind blew, I got scared and returned home.

If it was me, I'd do it for 10 million yen.

You can't be serious. There are no towels.

Just feel lucky you don't have any kids.

If you had any, you wouldn't be able to be so dismissive.

Sorry.

I'm doing fine. Thanks to you stopping by and helping out.

But I'm wondering what to do from here on.

There's no room for me at my parent's...

I'll be out all night, so leaving things here to you.

- See ya. - Later.

Hello. Mom?

Hello. Uehara-san? Yes, this is Hamasaki.

Eh? No. This is Hamasaki.

Hamasaki. Ha, ma, sa...

- Why are you laughing? - Because you kept repeating your name.

You're the one who kept asking.

Um, I have something important to talk with you about.

Can we go someplace quiet.

- This is a private box. - Um. Contact from Kono-san...?

Uehara-san.

Uehara-san!

- Hamasaki. - Hamasaki-san,

- out of us girls, who is your type. - Eh?

- Who, who, who? - Personally, I prefer Hamasaki to Uehara.

Hamasaki-san for me, too.

- Me, too. - Me, too.

Eh? Eh? Well, then...

You.

Hamasaki-san. You took your selection very serious, huh?

Serious. Serious. Serious...

You're an interesting fellow, Hamasaki-san.

- Ridiculous. - I'm glad we could get together.

I didn't want to see you, but

I have a little something on my mind.

Didn't you recently say something to the effect that

- you were going to change your ways? - Ahh.

- And start over with Akari. - Hamasaki-san.

Despite saying those things, what is all of this?

An ousama-game could break out any moment.

Have you already slept with Akari?

- What are you saying? - You're an interesting fellow, Hamasaki-san.

Do you think I'm not angry with you for stealing Akari from me?

- But, it was you that... - To tell the truth,

I have an urge to kill you, Hamasaki-san.

I've also started to feel an urge to kill just now.

Is it CT or MRI...?

Mitsuo-kun.

What are they called again?

The black one is Matilda. The brown one is Hassaku.

The streets are narrow around here. Good place for cats.

Yep.

This is a nice place. A lot has happened since I came, though.

I'm glad we had the chance to meet.

Hm?

It's refreshing being around someone who doesn't lie.

I think Yuka-san also understood that.

Eh?

That being with a reliable, honest person

allowed her to be herself.

To feel secure.

I never heard anything like that.

That's life, after all.

Being honest is living.

Mitsuo-kun. You can be a headache.

But I like you, that included.

Feels like I'm receiving a lifetime's worth of praise.

- It is a lifetime's worth of praise. - Eh?

We might have been together.

I had that feeling.

But things didn't turn out that way.

For those times, I'm praising you now.

Akari.

What?

I'm not able to do anything for you.

Nothing at all.

It's just a matter of timing.

Thank you.

Mitsuo-kun. The water is boiling.

Ah.

I'm going to have this baby.

Have you told Uehara-san?

- I was just talking with Uehara-san... - It's mine.

This is my problem.

- By yourself... - I'm not alone.

I have this child.

I want to become a mother.

For me, that's an honest way of life.

Seriously. You can get 800,000 yen.

Just recently you said one film, right?

You remembered. I take it I have your interest.

I may be divorced, but I haven't fallen that low.

In today's world, one doesn't need to have "fallen" to do this.

They're all your very ordinary, everyday people.

You're right. An utter failure like me

has no right to look down on anyone, huh?

No, no. You're pretty.

I'm leaving.

Really, you're pretty.

You'd look 20 with a little Photoshop.

I was receiving praise from a very fishy individual,

and it felt really good. This guy is trying to deceive me.

But that didn't seem like such a bad thing.

People with something to gain are very nice.

So true. That's how I got taken in by host clubs.

In the end, I just wanted to be praised by someone.

Recognized by someone.

A common occurrence, eh?

The all too common troubles are the worst.

How about a trip to the park after we finish eating?

Yeah.

Don't be alarmed. Um.

Do you know where Uehara-san is?

- The hospital. - The hospital?

That tree. He wasn't being careful and fell from here.

Eh? Was he all right?

Seems he was quite drunk. Not that it matters.

- See. - Wow. What happened?

Hamasaki-san.

Hamasaki-san.

You came to pay me a visit, didn't you?

Are you still mad about what happened the other day?

Why did you fall from that window?

I don't remember it all that well.

I was drunk.

If every drunken person fell from windows

there'd be no bars on 5th or 6th floors.

- You opened the window, didn't you? - Did I?

I don't know what led up to it,

- but you opened that window yourself, didn't you? - It was the third floor.

What's next? The 4th floor? The 5th?

And on the nth time it'll be from the rooftop?

That sort of thing. I think people have their reasons.

I think everybody has there reasons.

Forget it. It's nothing.

So. Excuse me.

You have a child, you know.

She's pregnant with your child.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

There you go.

[How are you? I know it's sudden, but

I'm moving to Lake Kawaguchi, where my son lives.]

[Aiko-san]

Daisuke!

Are you all right? What happened?

No harm done. Go play.

Ok.

- I'm sorry. - It's fine.

Occasional lapses are to be expected.

I'm always leaving him be.

I'm sorry.

Yuka. You seem a little off today.

Let's go drinking.

I'll leave Daisuke with his father. How about it?

- What's the matter? - I'm sorry.

- You have to be more careful. - Yep.

Have you been to the hospital?

- I have. At Yarigasaki. - Ah, I see.

- What did they say? - Two months.

Is the baby in good health?

Yep. I also had an ultrasound picture taken.

And got to see the baby moving.

Do you have the picture with you now?

- I do. - I'd like to see it.

It's not something I can show you.

You know what you've been doing these past two months.

So therefore you can't say that the child is yours.

You don't have that right.

Why don't you forget about me

and continue cavorting with various women.

You'll quickly forget. Easily.

I have a client coming soon.

Do you hear me? You're in the way.

- What is it? - I can't forget. I won't.

I want to see this child.

I was thinking all the way here.

About the baby's little hands. The baby's little feet.

Eyes that can't yet see. I keep thinking about these things.

The future.

The child getting bigger and bigger.

Taking a bath together. Having a ride on my shoulders.

Learning how to speak. Getting taller.

Marking height on the wall year after year.

I keep picturing these things.

Growing up in the blink of an eye.

I also picture us talking about those things.

The both of us growing older

calling each other papa and mama. Things like that.

Even at this moment.

There are three in this room.

Not just the two of us, but three.

So. So, I don't think I can forget.

Because I can picture the child growing up.

I surely can't forget for as long as I live.

I'm sorry, Akari-san.

I want to be this child's father. I want to be called father.

I want the three of us to be together.

I'm sorry. Let me be a part of this family.

Akari-san!

What a hassle.

How did it go?

She had a client coming and said she would call me later.

Eh? When a woman says she'll call you later

they don't actually mean to call you, do they?

You don't have to burst my bubble.

There's no understanding them.

Yep.

I've been thinking.

Don't you think marriage would go a lot smoother

if it was between two men or two women?

Nah, probably not.

- Hey, what are you doing? - It's so short.

- Here it is. - I don't think this is for me, after all.

What is he doing here?

- I asked him to come. - Why? That guy...

- I'm leaving. - Hey, wait.

We're already here. Might as well have a drink first.

[replaying message]

[Um]

[Hamasaki-san? Is it Hamasaki-san? This is Uehara.]

- [Ah, is it Hamasaki-san?] - It is Hamasaki.

[This is Uehara.]

Time and time again.

[I've been able to patch things with Akari.]

[I talked with her yesterday and we're getting married.]

- [This is Hamasaki-san's number, isn't it?] - It is!

- [Hello?] - Hello?

- [Hamasaki-san?] - This is voicemail, you know.

- Ah, same goes for me. - [If it's all right with you,

we'd like to have dinner with you and Yuka-san tonight.]

Is it really ok to go all out like this?

It's a celebration. Well, she is pregnant, so maybe just a toast.

Is Yuka-san coming?

I sent her a message.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- You got here quick. - Over here.

- Please, have a seat here. - Thank you.

- Um... - Ah, I came ahead.

Is that so? Well, let's save this for later.

The two of us can have a toast first, if you like.

But...

- I bet Uehara-san is thrilled. - Yep.

Was he drooling from his eyes?

I'm glad. Truly.

- Thank you. - That's how I truly feel.

- I'm really very happy for you. - I know.

You're more delighted than I am, Hamasaki-san.

Because all of that stuff happened.

Er, I suppose I can stop saying that.

It's hard to believe. A complete turn around.

That you can once again have feelings for Uehara-san.

- I have no feelings for him. - Huh?

I don't love him anymore.

Maybe I misheard the voice message?

I have no feelings for him, but we are getting married.

I don't trust him, but we're getting married.

I'm having a little trouble following.

There's a child between us now.

Yes.

I've made the sensible choice.

But, I think he'll probably cheat again.

That's not going to happen.

Uehara-san said that he'll change.

People never change.

We're not teenagers anymore. We are who we are right now.

People thinking they can change themselves is like borrowing money.

You have to work with what you have.

- But... - It's fine.

I'll get by.

When are we going to drink? Let's have our toast.

Why did you tell me that?

It's probably because...

I like you a little more than him right now.

Why are you telling me this now?

Payback from 10 years ago.

Hamasaki-san. Have you ever had drool come from your eyes?

Mitsuo?

- Have your guests left already? - Yep.

Could you close that box for me?

There's nothing at Lake Kawaguchi.

Have you ever had houtou udon? It's delicious.

It's a faraway place. We're not going to be able to see each other often.

A huge traffic jam in the Kobotoke tunnel...

If you think I'm going to be around forever

then you're very mistaken.

Eh? What are you talking about?

You're here now, aren't you.

It's the same with color pencils. The most precious ones go first.

I'm home.

Yuka.

Hello?

Hello? He-

- Yuka? - What is it?

- Nothing. - Hm?

- Was wondering what you were doing. - Right now?

Right now, or...

Hey.

- What are you doing tomorrow? - I have plans tomorrow.

I see. What? Something pressing?

- You know what? - Hm?

I'm thinking of becoming an actress.

- Eh? - An actress.

Sorry, but "actress"?

- An actress. - You?

Apparently I have what it takes.

What are you talking about?

So I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

Are you stupid?

There's no chance of that happening.

- How can you be so sure? - Because.

There's a person who says I can make it.

He says I'm pretty. With a little Photoshop...

Don't you think you're being scammed?

Fine. Think whatever you like.

- But. It's just. - See ya.

Eh? You there?

Yuka? You there? I have something I want to talk about.

Something I want to talk with you about.

Don't you think it's about time to replace the wallpaper?

I think it'll really change the mood in here.

Also. You wanted a dishwasher, right?

Thinking about buying one. Seems to be some cheap options.

Another thing. On a completely unrelated note.

Since when did Kouji Kikkawa-san's hair become that color.

Saw him on TV recently

and thought I'd ask you about it.

Also. The glass pudding container we have.

It's completely useless. Using it to store pickles is all I can think of.

I don't eat pickles.

Yuka? You haven't updated your Facebook recently, have you?

Yuka?

I...

I...

Yuka? I'm sorry.

I'll move the bonsai.

You said you wanted to drink tea on the veranda, didn't you?

Hello?

Ah, hello. Hamazaki-san?

Just sent an e-mail, but can you come tomorrow?

The usual group.

Yes. I'll go.

Hamazaki-san!

What's the deal? It's not baseball today.

Ah. Sorry.

As for the cheers, just follow along.

Watch the show and see who you like best.

Ok.

Excuse me.

Wait, Hamazaki-san.

Hamazaki-san. Sorry. Pardon me.

There's no time. It's about to start.
