Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Thanks.

Hello, Ethan.

Hello.

I am sorry to come late again. I got lost at the station.

Do not worry.

Abby, they are Mine, Jin and Asami.

Nice to meet you.

Do you want a drink?

Skylight that yes.

Goodbye.

I return already. Business.

- Hello, I am Abby. - Yes, I imagined it; I am Charlie.

So you meet Ethan?

Who does not know it, fondness?

I am Gretchen.

Is your accent of the South?

No, only I like speaking this way.

I heard that you have just come, Abby.

In fact I came two weeks ago.

What madness.

I never imagined that would end in Tokyo...

... but since Ethan works here...

He could not already support a relation at long distance.

Abby: do you need work?

No, thank you. I have everything tidy.

I obtained work as publisher...

... in a Japanese lawyers signature.

Boring what.

Prestigious what.

Please, it is a joke. They do not give me anything to do.

What do you do?

I drink and Gretchen is a geisha.

I am not a geisha. I am a goddess.

She is a prostitute.

I am host: okay?

What is that?

They pay to me for viewing me well and to entertain business men.

Here you have.

Cheer. Welcome to Japan.

Thanks.

I'm glad to be here with you?

Yeah. That's rights.

Something colorful and impact.

A streaming video.

Okay, good.

Of course I can do that.

See you then.

What's going on?

I have a new client.

I must go to Osaka.

They need your web page already same.

What seems to you if I go with you?

Do not you have to work?

I hate my stupid work.

You work and I will be a tourist.

We go, can play the whole weekend.

I will work non-stop 24/7.

I will not have weather to be with you.

When will you return?

I am not sure.

You know, this might take a long time.

To take a long time let's say...

... one week?

Ethan?

You remember that yesterday evening you asked me if I was glad that you had come?

Yes.

I really wanted to say yes, but I could not...

... and this is a sorrow.

Our relation was complicated with your arrival to Tokyo...

... and you must admit that everything happened very quickly.

What do you say? We had already spoken about this.

No, we had not spoken about this.

Only you called and said that you were coming.

You said that you wanted that it was coming.

- No, I never said that, Abby. - Yes.

No, I know that I never said that.

Yes, you said it.

This is not working.

So I will do what I have to do.

I must go away.

So you will not return?

I never said that.

This is a madness.

Abby, I feel it. I know that this is horrible.

But I have to do what I have to do.

I am a traveler.

I am proud to be able to pack all my life in two baggage.

Cheer up.

It is possible that it returns.

Leave me, Ethan.

Leave, idiot.

You see, I thought than of the whole world...

... you would understand it.

The keys are along with the bed.

Please, he waits.

Ethan speaks. Leave your message.

Hello, it is me who is.

Here I am sorry about everything what we said to ourselves.

I know that everything was my fault.

You were right.

I pressed you very much on having come here.

He wanted only to say to you that I feel it...

... and that I would like speaking about this.

So call me: in agreement?

I will be awake.

Very well, I wait... I hope that you should be be fine everything.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Forgive.

Is there anybody here?

Hello.

It is closed.

I don't understand.

Is it opened?

The ramen was finished.

Go to house.

Why does she remain there stop? I chatter from here.

It is well.

What happened? Some problem?

Who devils knows?

I suppose that it is hungry.

Is it injured?

Do you believe that he needs to go to the hospital?

Perhaps go away when he eats.

Do the foreigners eat spring onion?

They must eat spinach.

Popeye loves the spinach.

I do not know what I am doing with my life.

I am an entire disaster.

My cousin Heather has just ended your doctorate.

And here is it is me who...

... four years after ending the university...

Phi Beta Kappa...

... and I do not have anything...

... absolutely not at all.

I thought that it was very brave for coming to Tokyo...

... but...

Ethan...

... it has just left me.

I am...

I am very alone.

Eat.

Eat, eat small girl.

What?

What did he say?

No idea. She is a lunatic.

Eat, please.

Thanks.

- She is crazy. - Eat.

Thanks.

It is well, I will eat.

It was delightful. Thanks.

Thanks.

Look. She drank the whole broth.

Ramen.

How much do I owe you?

No, it is not at all.

- Are sure? - Yes, it is okay.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Wait a minute.

No, I am well, thank you.

See, I live just across the street. just... there.

Thanks.

"Out of service. Please, do not flash the toilet"

"Out of service. Please, do not flush the toilet"

Hanako-san...

... do you know how to cook ramen?

Me?

Of course not.

It is too difficult.

You have to training to do it.

Thanks a lot.

Please, return again.

Straight ahead.

Sorry to keep you waiting. This way, please.

- Thanks. - Thanks a lot.

Straight ahead.

I brought your umbrella.

Oh,you did not have to.

Please, sit down.

the ramen is finished. I'm sorry.

My parents ordered me a ticket...

... and I have less than 24 hours...

... and the truth, I do not want to return to house.

Please, please, return me the call.

I'll talk to you soon. Goodbye.

Sorry, Sold out.

Go home.

Can I help you?

You need to rest.

What?

Your foot.

Take a seat, please.

I think that she wants to help.

Take a seat, please.

What do I do?

Okay... take this to the two ladies over there.

Here you are.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

It hears that.

He speaks well the Japanese.

What is up?

Welcome.

You're too late. We're sold out.

Sorry.

I knew it.

The bad luck follows me.

That girl: is she new?

Tonight it's the International Houseof the Ramen.

She's so cute.

She's probably married.

Why don't you ask her?

Are you kidding?

He's middle-age...

... He has a big gut and doesn't speak English. Why would she be interested in him?

I should have studied more English in the high school.

It is late. She should go away.

Is she still here?

What the hell ?

Is she crazy?

Hey girlie, go home

No, I do not want to go away.

I want to stay here.

I do not understand what you're saying.

For the Japanese it is a bedtime.

I want to stay here.

No.

I do not understand a word of what you say.

Go home.

Do not you have a place where to sleep?

I want to cook ramen.

I want to cook ramen.

Who are you? The girl typhoon?

I told you to go home

No, you teach me. Teacher.

Teacher.

Teacher?

Me? To teach you ?

Teacher.

Teacher?

Are you crazy?

We have enough lunatics in this ramen shop; we don't need another one.

Please, let me...

Allow me to help it. I want to help. Accept to be my teacher.

Teach me.

I want to make the people happy since you do it.

I want to make to laugh to the people since you do it.

And I know that Ethan is going to return.

If I go away...

... perhaps never again view it again.

- What is he saying? - How am I going to know it?

I believe that he wants that he is your teacher.

No, do not cry. Do not cry.

Whenever you come here, something strange happens.

It is well. It returns tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

At five o'clock.

Why do you strike the hand to me?

At five o'clock in the morning.

Do you understand?

At five o'clock in the morning.

In the morning...

Tomorrow in the morning...

In the morning.

- At 5:00 a.m. - This way, already you understood.

- They are her 1:00. - I me have to go to sleep.

You also have to sleep.

- What am I doing... - All to sleep.

My parents wait for me...

Already keep silent about you. Perhaps you ever stop speaking?

Who is this girl devils?

Hello. Good morning.

What devils do you do here?

It is 5:00 a.m.

He said to me that it should come at 5:00.

You come 15 minutes late.

- Idiot. - Yes, here I am.

Then: what does he want that it does?

Where do I start?

Bootblack.

What?

I'm sorry: what did he say?

Why devils do you log in to my house with shoes?

What?

Extract them to yourself.

I'm sorry pardon.

What happens to you?

- What does it mean "I feel it"? - Sorry.

Stupid and ignorant girl.

What's going on down there?

She is the lunatic. She came back

I finished.

I mean, I figured that you wanted me

... clean all the pans and stuff, so I did it.

I hope that it's okay.

I mean, I did not put them away, I didn't know where to put the things.

But...

Here?

Do you want spring onion?

No...

... I already washed them.

I already washed them.

They are washed and dry.

How do you call to that?

In Japanese it is called "a dirt".

I'm sorry I did not see that.

- I scrubbed it and scrubbed... - I will do it.

- Allow me to do it. - Handyman that not.

Please, allow me to do it.

Please, I want to work.

Bootblack.

Give me that.

Feel like that.

No, it is well. It is well, I will do it.

I will do it.

To what are you of him afraid?

It debugs inside.

Inside the cup.

Up to the fund.

Inside, more to the fund.

Stop shouting me.

Come here, small girl.

I am doing it.

I am debugging the toilet.

I thought that he wanted that will debug the bath.

No?

What? No.

There? What is there there?

Cretin.

Sorry.

So now it works here?

I wonder it myself.

It will last not even three days with this tyrant.

It seems terrible, pobrecita.

Does he believe that he could teach me of English?

Why would he like to lose your weather with someone as you?

I am afraid that my husband it will have her quite busy.

Sure.

I imagined it.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I cannot support it.

Pathetic. We go, Casanova, help me at home.

Thank you, good night.

Reiko, stop.

The lunatic will do it.

It is okay.

God, what so hard day.

What?

What do you think that you are doing?

Look.

Wait: do you want that it I clean... now?

Of course that I will do it.

You should let her go home.

Did you see what she looks like? She's a mess.

She was already a mess when she came here.

Look at what you're doing.

Mommy.. I want to go home to America.

I still here, doing the same basic work.

Can you call me please?

Goodbye.

Do not touch the broth.

Listening.

Touch it again and I kill you, did you understand?

Clean. That is your job.

How many times do I have to tell you...

... don't throw dirty water in this sink?

I told you hundred times.

Idiot. Messing with the broth.

Stop it!

Stop making so much noise.

You are drunk.

You should be teaching me.

That was our deal, remember it?

Ramen.

Ramen.

Me. You teach me to cook ramen.

To cook ramen?

Grow up first.

Understands this...

... I am the teacher.

You are the student.

I will decide when you will cook ramen.

You came to me.

I didn't go out and found you.

To the devil with this.

This is ridiculous.

This is an entire abuse.

Nobody, not anybody with self-respect to himself...

... it would bear it.

You are a fascist.

I leave.

What?

Here.

I'm sorry how did I can to forget that.

Clean, see?

Clean.

Clean the floors...

... cleans the pans...

... clean the toilets, clean!

You do not listen to anything of what I am saying to you.

waits a minute.

I'm trying to tell something to you.

I do not understand a damned word of what you says.

And I am seek of trying.

Goodbye.

Clean.

Sorry.

My dad told me that I never was finishing anything.

He is right.

I never managed to hold a job more than four months.

I came here because he wanted to be with my boyfriend...

... and since he left...

... I have been only here hoping that he'll come back.

I will clean for you.

I will clean the windows...

... the pans, the apartments, what ever.

I stayed up trying to think of...

... the reason why I wanted to stay...

... and the only thing that I think off...

... the only reason...

... it was...

I want...

... to be your student.

Phone.

What?

Phone.

Does you need it?

Sure.

The apartments.

take these...

... to the two old ladies who never go home.

Please.

Thanks.

She is lucky. She has long legs.

Abby...

Money.

Your first month's salary. Please go.

Am I fired?

Holidays.

Where is that lazy girl ?

Is she in the shop?

What is she doing?

- Just go - Thanks.

Ethan is a real jerk.

We could said it to you.

But they did not do it.

I must have left him approximately hundred messages at least.

I do not believe that he was listening not the only one at least.

Seriously?

What happened to you?

I me stumbled over a door.

What will you do now?

Will you return home, to America Beautiful?

America, the insipid one, pale and boring.

I rather die than go back there.

No, I'm staying.

It improved in something that one terrible am I employed at the lawyers' signature?

I am not already doing that.

What are you doing then?

Me...

I am training

To become...

... a ramen chef.

Do you speak about these noodles?

Pobrecilla, must be desperate.

Hey..

... do you believe this girl is studying to be a ramen chef ?

Ramen?

Yes, ramen.

Does she have a Japanese boyfriend?

She just got dumped.

But if you want to get laid... try the redhead.

What did he say?

I do not have idea.

Who's care. Look at him, he is beautiful.

Really do you study ramen?

I'm trying to, yes.

Go.

It is brilliant.

tell me: where did you learn to speak English so well?

I lived one year in L.A. when I was studying in the university.

And what do you do now?

Yes.

Our work it is very exciting.

In the United States...

... I think you call it ''pushing papers''.

These are my companions Akira...

I am Akira.

And Kuma.

Call me Kuma.

- I am Abby. - Abby.

- Charlie. - Gretchen.

Toshi.

I like to know them.

Why do I equip you believe that it plays?

It is difficult to know it, it is a Japanese.

Then, Toshi, what do we do now?

Ramen.

Farewell, Gretchen.

- Goodbye. - Good evening.

- I like to know them. - Goodbye.

Someone has money for cigarets?

Here you have.

Thank you, Charlie. What time is it?

It is almost 5:00.

Thanks for exiting with us.

You're welcome.

Will I see you again?

Insurance.

I will give them my card.

- Capture. - Thanks.

Toshi Iwamoto.

Thanks.

Good evening.

- That you have a pretty morning. - I like to meet all of them.

- Call me. - What is doing?

Ah, yes?

Witch.

Call me.

It is only.

Good morning, Maezumi.

Good days.

Do you remember my son?

Hello.

He is fine very much in your training.

Very quickly the Big Teacher it will give him your blessing.

And I will have a successor.

Ah, Maezumi...

... greet me, your wife.

Bastard.

A bowl of ramen is a self-contained universe...

... with life from sea,

... the mountains and the earth.

Quite coexisting in perfect harmony.

The harmony is essential.

What holds it together...

... it is the broth.

The broth...

... gives life to the ramen.

Understand?

With that in mind, observes the ramen.

observes the ramen.

Why are you looking at me? Look at the ramen.

I think, I know. Allow me to try it.

Allow me to try it.

The spinach...

... here.

The pork...

... here...

... at 2:00.

What are you? Idiot?

What are you doing?

I know the problem.

Your forehead is too small.

A small forehead means a small brain...

... Like a monkeys.

You should be swinging from a tree screaming ''kya kya kya'',

... screaming like monkey.

Can it show me? To show me.

If you just look at the ramen you'll feel it.

Say to me what it means.

It was...

Listen! Listen! Stop thinking about words.

Use your heart!

The hell with this book.

What, is crazy?

Madman? I understand the word "madman".

I know what "madman" means.

Monkey brain.

You are going to hire an interpreter before we all go crazy?

She does not need one.

It is completely frustrated.

Not that was not understanding.

She understands everything what I say...

... but it is so stubborn...

... and it is so to the defensive that does not realize that it understands.

Of what speech?

It understands not even a word of what you say to him.

It is simple. To learn to cook ramen is simple.

It is well...

... they can kill themselves one to other.

I am so tired that I am on the point of causing to collapse.

Do you have beer?

Sure.

Thank you, fondness.

Drama, an entire drama.

You will not believe for everything what I spent this night.

The disgusting one who pays the rent of my apartment...

... it does not stop bringing the yokels of your friends...

... so that it does to them favors and these things.

Occasionally it is well.

It is a brilliant apartment...

... but there is a limit.

Today in the night, when I came from the bar...

... there it was he who was with your friend Godzilla...

... asking me that they it was doing another "favor".

I went crazy.

If you believe that I turn out to be terrible, you should see the apartment.

Do you believe that I might remain here?

You?

Hello.

Hello, Abby.

Hello.

What coincidence.

Gretchen did not say to me through that you were living here.

Gretchen is full of surprises this night.

It is here.

- Won’t you come in, please. - Thanks.

Where do I put the baggage?

Where you want, it does not matter.

Gretchen.

I need to sleep, fondness.

Toshi is here.

Brilliant.

It is asleep.

Yes.

It was turning out to be very tired.

What happened?

It called me wondering if it had car.

Yes?

It was heard very annoying.

Your life is very complicated.

Do not say to me.

Good...

... perhaps I should go away.

I you am sorry to have bothered.

No.

Waiting.

Do you want something to drink before going away?

I say, since you are here.

Personally, I need a beer.

Yes, I also.

Very well.

This is the ramen shop at that I am employed.

Easy to come.

Yes.

Does your chief speak English?

Not even a word.

Seriously?

I understand not even a word of what he says to me...

... without mentioning that it is sicótico.

All the weather tries to kill me.

Why do you remain there?

Perhaps it is because...

... do not I have adónde to go?

That is pathetic.

No.

I believe that you go for good path.

I am secure that one day I will prove Abby's ramen.

God, I wait for that.

Yes.

What is there of you? What is your path?

My path.

That of a typical Japanese.

To be employed at a big company...

... to marry...

... to have children...

... grandchildren...

... to age...

... and then to die.

That is terrible.

In the university musician was writing.

It had a band.

Brilliant.

Most of the weather we were getting drunk to death.

We were speaking on how would we revolutionize...

... the world of the Japanese music.

Later, skylight, all we became wage-earning.

This is what our parents wanted.

My parents would be only happy...

... if I was becoming a partner of a lawyers' big signature.

What surprised.

Who would say on having viewed us what do we have the same problem?

Omoshiroi. Interesting what.

In some moment of my life...

... I forgot of what he wanted to do with her.

Sometimes, when I wake up in the mornings...

... I cannot breathe.

Perhaps that's why I started with this disgusting habit.

I'm sorry I smoked myself your last cigaret...

... and I have not left any.

Do you want to go to walk?

It is raining cats and dogs.

I believe that I should already go away to house.

It is almost of tomorrow.

One day you have been in the museum of the ramen in Yokohama?

There is a museum of the ramen in Yokohama?

Do you joke?

I am not joking.

Seriously?

- Yes, seriously. - Very well, I have to see it.

Let's view it then next weekend.

Yes, in agreement.

- Brilliant. - I will say to Gretchen.

I do not believe that he is interested in.

Yes, but it would be something uncomfortable.

She is my friend. I have to warn him.

You are exiting together and that.

The first night they went away together in the taxi.

No, no.

Only we share the taxi.

Then: is it well? Do I call you?

Yes.

It is well, call me.

We do not celebrate the Christmas.

But Shintaro always liked.

We were buying a small tree for him.

I hope it could understand it.

Happy Christmas!

What sound all this bullshit?

Behave. Abby-san wanted to decorate.

It looks like Disneyland.

It is not so bad; perhaps the help to feel more at home.

If he wants to feel at home, it can return to the United States.

Yankee, veto to house.

I'm sorry I thought that the adornments they would turn out to be nice.

What is this?

I bought them on the market.

This is not McDonald?s.

Look.

Look at the color...

... the texture.

I believe that the corn can be beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful?

Are you crazy?

It is an adornment...

... how are you bullshit that you crashed in my walls.

I do not want to interfere...

... but when someone gives you a gift, you should accept it gentilmente.

Go!

What is this?

The shop is viewed very well.

We close already.

I did not come for the ramen.

Why then?

I have a humble gift.

Happy Christmas.

Arigato.

Arigato.

Happy Christmas.

It hears, Japan, today they dismissed me.

On eve of Christmas.

Damned Japanese without heart.

Country of cold blood.

I will say a thing to you...

... nobody will extract to this one goddess of the city.

While more weather I am here...

... more I realize that I do not understand anything...

... not to nobody.

For example, my chief.

I thought that it was a language matter.

Now I realize that simply I do not understand it for anything.

It is an only one soup plate.

For holy God, say to him that it should not exaggerate.

No, no.

For the Japanese it is important...

... to do a plate of soup to the perfection.

It is something beautiful.

It is as if with every plate...

... you will process of approaching more to the perfection.

I believe that that is beautiful.

- Is not it beautiful? - It is a madness.

Listen to me.

The only form in which you will survive in this country...

... it is doing what they all do:

To drink.

Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas, fondness.

Thanks a lot.

I am full.

When he was a child...

... I came once here with my school.

Other children they were always making fun of me...

... because my grandparents were coming from Korea.

He wanted to flee of these children and...

... to get of stowaway into this ship.

I wanted to go away of Japan.

Adónde?

I do not know it.

I wanted only to go away of Japan.

You have cold.

It should take you to house.

No, I do not want to go to house.

I prefer to be here with you.

What is doing?

Whenever it comes it is a foul-up.

Who is it?

It works for the Teacher Maezumi.

It is preparing it so that it is a ramen chef.

Did he go mad completely?

Hear...

... I bet that it supports young man to the old man.

I bet that it makes her scream and shout.

Hello to all.

It seems that they are amusing themselves.

Ah, Maezumi.

You are the one that laughs of us...

teaching him to a blonde to do ramen.

What it does is not his matter.

You are a shame!

It hears, the big Teacher gave to you your blessing.

What do you believe of diría of this?

He would say:

Oh, Maezumi, I will bless the ramen of your student.

The family Maezumi in the sky I would get well:

Ramen, shah, shah, shah! Maezumi, shah, shah, shah!

You stink, it is not even a midday and you are already drunk.

If he had known that it would view you, it had drunk more.

Sure.

The teacher will come in two months to prove the ramen of my son...

... and to give him your blessing.

- Hello. - Hello.

While it is here...

... why do not you give him the pleasure...

... of making him try also the ramen of the blonde?

It would be interesting to view these porristas celestial with your shah, shah shah.

I would like seeing that.

It will prove the broth of the girl...

... and it will give him your blessing.

Really do you believe it?

If it is not like that...

... I will stop cooking ramen.

# It is true, I swear it. #

Abby, looks.

It looks at the broth.

Chicken...

Pig bones.

It stops using your head.

Feel it.

Feel it in your body.

I do not understand it...

... and stop banging.

I do not understand, do not understand...

You look like a streaky disk.

It stops doing the mass.

Sensei...

... who is the font of the photos?

What?

Photo.

Photos.

He knows already, those with which it starts crying.

What bullshit do you say now?

It is nice.

Paris.

Who do you believe that you are?

Have you been spying on me?

Your work is to debug the bath.

I will break the head to you.

He knew that all we would go crazy.

Do not bang.

Adónde do you go, rough boy?

Rough boy?

What, can it be rough, but cannot they be rough with you?

Yes, I achieved it.

What? What is happening?

This boy in the photos he is Shintaro, our son.

He sent to me this scarf.

My husband has not spoken to him in five years.

I don't understand.

You are very serious.

My chief wants that it goes to Shanghai.

Oh, no.

I already heard that earlier.

Given that weather?

Three years.

Three years?

Does it do how much that you know it?

For a pair of days.

You are not going to go: or yes?

I have to go.

It is my obligation.

My god.

I did it again.

I do not want to leave you.

Then say to them that they should be in charge to another person.

The things do not work this way in Japan.

If the company wants that you go, you have to go.

But how might you happen three more years in a work that you do not support?

How?

Why do not you say to them that go away to the devil and you do something...

... something that really you like, something for yourself?

And do not say to me that because you are a Japanese...

... because this is an only one excuse.

I am a Japanese.

Why the North Americans...

... they think that they all have to to be like they?

I said everything what he could say...

... seriously.

- Abby. - What?

Would you come with me, please?

Adónde? To Shanghai?

Yes.

We might be together.

Please, do not do this to me.

Please, Abby.

Please...

... come with me.

Sensei?

Can it prove my broth, please?

Please, Sensei.

What does?

I did everything what I saw it doing.

Quite.

He lacks spirit.

I will miss you.

I also will miss you.

You are sure that you do not want to come with me to the airport?

No, I will not go.

It would be too sad.

You can repeat me again...

... only once again...

... that really you wanted what was with you?

Veto.

You will lose your flight.

It views.

Wait, sensei.

Sensei, help me, please.

I try it repeatedly and it never leaves.

Please.

Teach me to have...

... spirit.

Are you at home?

Are you here?

Where...

Mother...

... I need your help.

Your broth is insipid.

I wonder why.

He handles the skill to the perfection.

Sometimes to have skill great he can interfere.

You cook with the head.

Do you understand?

Your head...

... it is full of noise.

You must learn...

... to cook from a place much calmer...

... much at the bottom of you.

But how?

Every bowl of ramen that you prepare...

... it is a gift for your client.

The meal that you serve to him to your clients...

... part of them turns.

It contains your spirit.

That's why your ramen has that to be an expression of pure love.

A gift...

... of your heart.

Do you understand?

Mother...

Thanks a lot.

I do not know anything about the love.

Whenever I feel it...

... it goes away...

... it disappears.

And quite what I have left is...

... pain...

... and sadness.

It starts for putting your tears in your broth.

Good evening.

Abby's ramen.

It is a test.

Thanks.

Eat.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

The noodles are good.

Very good.

They liked the noodles.

What is there of the broth?

We will see already.

Not badly at all.

Yes, not badly at all really.

Not badly at all.

I wonder...

... if one day I will marry.

I doubt it.

I do not want to spend the rest of my life only.

What devils does it happen to you?

I miss my village in Okinawa.

What spends to you two?

Did they go crazy?

Poochie...

... why did you have to die?

He was like a son for me.

Poor puppy.

My husband...

... it has touched me not even hair...

... in 15 years.

What devils does it happen here?

It tries a little Abby's ramen.

I did not take the broth.

Big Teacher...

Welcome, Main.

Be careful.

Big Teacher...

Big Teacher...

Please.

It looks at that, it is perfect.

But what does it taste like?

I have a successor!

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

What are those green things?

Peppers.

And the red thing?

- Tomatoes. - Moan, God.

It is Italian.

Also it has corn floating.

Young lady... What do you call this dish?

Goddess ramen.

Goddess ramen...

Grand Master.

It is good.

But you needs more time and more restraint.

I cannot give you my blessing.

Hey...

... Let me know when you are ready to sell.

I'm planning on expanding.

See you again.

What happened?

Take a seat, please.

Sorry.

You're sorry.

Really...

... you're a selfish stubborn girl.

You had to have your way.

Corn...

Peppers...

Goddess ramen.

I could not believe it.

You have no respect to anybody.

Do you understand what I say?

- A bit. - A bit.

Almost one year and you still can't understand Japanese.

Really you are impossible, ignorant girl.

I just needed to create something for myself.

For myself.

For myself.

What is this 'self', huh?

My son Shintaro...

... also said 'myself, myself' all the time.

"Dad, I want to study French kitchen".

He went away.

He went away to France...

... to Paris.

He didn't want to be the successor of a dirty ramen shop.

Anyway...

A big ramen chef...

... it must have a successor.

Without a successor, his life has no sense.

Then you came here to my shop, crying...

"Teach me ramen".

I qualified you...

... just as to my son.

Everyone said that I would finish with you.

They worried you would quit.

But, Abby, you're still here.

Really...

... you have this Japanese spirit.

As for me...

... I am finished.

I worked every day for 45 years. Now my time is over.

Do you understand?

You are impossible.

You do not understand anything.

Where is your stupid book?

Successor.

Successor.

You... my successor.

It will be an honor.

We will miss you, Abby.

Write to us.

Come to view the festival this summer.

There's still time before you have to go.

Where is it sensei?

I cannot go away without saying goodbye of sensei.

- It is Abby-san. - Abby-san.

- Put Abby-san up on the shrine. - Abby-san, ride the shrine.

"One year later"...

4 of Tokyo, 1 Goddess and 1 special Maezumi.

In a minute.

Abby, there is a guy that knows you.

Who is he? From where?

I do not know.

Good evening.

I hated my job, so I did what you would do?

I qiut.

I started writing music again.

Welcome to my ramen shop.
