Have a nice day!

"Monday"

Director!

Have some coffee.

Thanks.

Handling your first film shoot okay?

These small movies are tough.

No, I'm happy to work for a director I've always admired.

Seen my stuff?

I have.

Like what?

Well, I love “A Missing Day in June.“

The most important tool in filmmaking is the mind.

For you crew, and cast too.

If everyone is high-minded, it'll turn out well.

Asako, right?

Yes, I'm Asako.

You're...

Director?

Excuse me.

Stir this for me.

What's up?

Anri's not happy.

Why?

She's not happy, with her co-star...

Oh come on.

Didn't they get to know each other over dinner?

Maybe that's why.

Where's the producer?

Reasoning with her.

Director!

What's her problem?

I've been on a chicken and water diet all week for today.

What now?

Seriously, man.

Honestly, I'm not doing this movie because I want to.

She's a lousy no-talent bimbo.

I'm getting nothing out of this.

And the script...

This is a movie?

This ain't no movie.

Hello.

Oh, Director.

I'm sorry. I just can't get in the mood with Yanagida.

Director, let's change the story.

Let's go.

I can't work with him.

We can't afford to waste time.

What?

My feelings don't matter?

We've got no money.

- Money? - Yeah.

Don't give me that.

I'm so sick of this.

Do you movie people like being broke?

Who do you think ends up suffering?!

Oh shut up. Save the yelling for your acting.

Don't blame me.

Money's not my problem. Don't ignore my feelings.

Fuck your feelings.

Stop it.

"The budget's small, but the film's high-minded."

That's what you told me.

Time to shoot.

This is bullshit!

Wait, Anri!

Go get her, Kudo!

Hey.

Give it a rest, Furuya.

Not with that third-rate actress.

Don't be stupid. Actresses these days don't do nude scenes.

They've got endorsements...

The problem is movies not paying actresses enough.

It's your fault for not treating her better.

If Hayakawa disowns you, you won't work again, Shin.

At the end of the day, the projects he produces

aren't real movies.

You said money's not an issue if a film's high-minded.

Low budgets never bothered you before.

I can keep lying to myself, but I'm not young anymore.

I always look forward to the movies you make.

For instance,

your story about a woman searching for her father's painting.

I know you'll find someone to help you make it.

That reminds me.

You need a cat for it.

There's one at a park near my place.

It's really cute. Want to audition it?

You should disown me too.

Why are you like that?

Sorry. I'm stuck here till morning.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Is Ryuhei asleep?

I'm not sure, but I should be home earlier tomorrow.

Oh, really?

Okay, let's talk when I get home.

Okay, take care.

I'm needed on set.

Yeah. Thanks.

Hey!

Don't do that.

Your husband loves you.

He's a decent guy.

I'm not young anymore.

Am I?

You haven't changed.

You're still selfish too.

I...

...was young back then.

I was scared.

I wanted a man I could never have.

A man like you, Shin.

Was I better before?

No.

I'm just tired.

Are you okay?

About what?

For money.

Are you okay?

I don't want you worrying about me like that.

Come on.

You don't want to make that movie.

Things must be tough.

You fell asleep?

What?

We overslept.

Isn't our call time 8am?

I'm wardrobe crew.

Sorry. I overslept.

Got it.

Hey.

Anri's pulled out of the movie.

No kidding.

What'll you do now?

Just wander around a little.

Bye then.

Take care.

"Tuesday"

Professor!

This is early for you.

You too. How come?

A night out. I'm going home to bed.

What about you? A film shoot?

Not any more.

Why?

I know.

Trouble on set again?

Hurry home now.

Want to come?

Is it close?

Professor? This way.

Come in.

You're well off.

My parents are.

You're the first man I've let in here.

Liar.

It's true.

Aren't you going out with Araki?

Yeah, well, I am.

But I never let him in.

Why not?

I guess he's not that important.

What about me?

You're special.

I am?

I'm going to sleep.

You can eat whatever you want.

How about...

...lending me money?

Hey.

Your phone keeps ringing.

What time is it?

After 5.

I passed out.

You didn't try anything.

Should I have?

That's a bad idea.

Coming onto a student.

It just complicates things.

You kissed me.

Professor, go easy.

Please don't.

Why not?

I don't want to regret trusting you.

Quit playing games.

No!

Professor...

Take me.

It's my first time.

But you can be my first.

You're so cranky.

You know, I don't love you.

I don't mind.

I need you right now.

Why...

Why are you looking at me so sadly?

Professor!

What's wrong?

What are you looking at?

That pig.

That pig,

it eats my lies.

Your lies?

Yeah. My lies.

I need another one.

Got a 500 yen coin?

Here.

Somebody else's is okay?

Yeah. I'll pay you back.

What'll you do when it's full?

Haven't decided.

Gimme a break.

Yeah?

Hello? What?

At home.

I'm alone.

Shit.

Why?

Why did you come?

- Yuka! Open up! - There, there!

Yuka! Open up!

Wait a minute! Who said you could come?

I said I could!

It's gone!

What is?

She must be a pathological liar.

Er, this coin came rolling up to me.

Thanks.

Huh? Hey, it's you, Director!

It's been a while. Fancy meeting like this!

What are you doing?

Er, nothing.

What on earth happened here?

Here's one.

What've you been up to lately?

Lately? Er, crewing for Ishii and Miki.

Which ones?

Sorry?

You haven't hired me for ages.

I haven't made anything lately.

Is your leg healed now?

I was shocked when I heard. We were all worried.

I'm glad you're back.

Man, another one?

Another one?

Thanks.

Hey, where are you going?

Well, nowhere.

I'm going to meet some young actors.

Care to drink with us?

They'd love to meet you.

You'll come?

This way. Thanks.

- Weird, huh? - It is.

Don't you know his films?

"A Missing Day in June"? Don't you know it?

No way! You've gotta see it! Its visuals are amazing.

Didn't it win an award at Venice?

That was Berlin.

Berlin.

Yeah, Berlin! In Italy.

In Germany.

Yeah, Germany! Germany.

So where's Venice?

Italy.

What about Cannes?

France!

Anyway, Mr. Furuya's world famous!

Banzai!

Banzai!

Don't mock me.

I wasn't mocking you.

I wasn't mocking him, was I?

Hey, Anri! Long time no see.

Long time no see!

You good?

Going somewhere?

The pisser.

You know Mr. Furuya?

I just quit his film.

You did?

What's his deal?

Don't you know?

You saw "A Missing Day in June", right?

Nope.

It's a masterpiece. He makes great films, but they don't make money.

Plus, that accident...

Huh? What accident?

Well, it was more like attempted suicide.

Seriously?

The woman...

...grabbed the wheel while Furuya was driving.

And they crashed into a pole.

I think the woman ended up dying.

Thanks to you, the movie was canceled.

That wasn't your fault?

I'm glad that shitty movie was canceled.

I thought you would be.

You owe me, don't you?

I guess so.

I knew you hated it.

What do you want to make?

Wait till I make it.

Don't make me wait, cast me.

You had your chance.

So, that guy just now, is he your friend?

Oh. Yeah. We're acquainted.

I don't know his name. What is it?

Actually, I don't know either.

We're so silly.

Is that it?

For you.

"Wednesday"

"Shinji Furuya: A Retrospective"

I thought you weren't coming.

Sorry.

You forgot, huh? It's started already.

Anri?

Why are you here?

Mr. Furuya has just arrived. Give him a warm welcome.

Sorry I'm late. Sorry.

We've been eagerly awaiting you. Now then, let's begin.

You're famous for frequently depicting selfless love.

I'm sure your fans in the audience have a lot to ask you.

Who would like to ask Mr. Furuya a question?

How about it?

Okay, the lady over there.

Your films always make me

contemplate their uniquely profound concept of love.

I've seen all of your works.

What do you consider to be the true nature of love?

The true nature of love?

Let me see...

That's a tough question.

How much of our world is real,

and how much of it is fake?

I think about that,

but it's difficult to determine.

I make fiction,

or rather, I make films,

in a constant search for the truth.

For example,

you have a half-full watering can, and you add more later.

You can wonder about how much you had to start with,

but to a flower, it's just water.

What's important to me

isn't the kind of water given to a flower,

or the color that flower becomes,

but whether or not it accepts it.

That to me is the essence of truth,

and the true nature of love.

Do you follow me?

Kind of...

Yes.

If I were to give you water,

what would be your color?

Thank you.

Pretentious jerkoff.

Mr. Furuya has a profound view of love, doesn't he?

Let's have our next question.

Okay, the gentleman there.

Long time no see.

I'm one of your students at the school where you teach.

Your depictions of love all seem totally fake to me.

What is love?

Randomly pouring water on things?

You screwed one of your students.

- Stop it. - Shut up.

What color was her flower?

Your answer, please.

That's my t-shirt, dammit!

Who are you?!

Who are you?!

Who are you?!

Knock it off!

Please, calm down!

Furuya!

Come back!

Furuya!

Stop it!

Furuya!

Don't go!

Why? Don't do this!

Don't run from me! Dammit!

Wait!

Come back here!

Stop it!

I'll fucking kill you!

Stupid!

Wait!

Don't go!

Don't be stupid!

Wait for me!

Araki, come back!

Furuya!

Stop this!

Wait for me!

Where'd he go?!

I don't know!

Professor!

Professor, he's crazy. There's no telling what he'll do.

Why did you tell him?

I had to.

Because you stole my pig.

Sorry.

Professor?

Take me.

What color...

...is my flower?

Tell me is color.

A morning glory at dawn,

drenched in evening dew.

Please, take me.

Take me.

Please.

Take me.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Professor.

Take me. Take me.

I'm cumming!

"Thursday"

A call for you.

Some hospital.

Hello?

Hello, is this Mr. Furuya?

Yes.

Kunitachi Central Hospital here.

Yes?

I'm calling about unpaid hospital fees.

Oh.

If you defer any longer, we'll have to discharge her.

Oh, right. I'm aware of that.

I'll take care of it today or tomorrow.

Please do so promptly.

Okay.

Goodbye.

What's up?

Nothing.

It sounded urgent.

Hey.

Got money on you?

How much?

I can get some from Dad.

Dad, huh.

Nah, forget it.

Pay for the noodles.

Alright.

Excuse me. That was yum. How much?

Thank you.

That's 810 yen all together.

Hi there.

Hey Rinko.

So what do you say?

Listen...

...I can't.

I can't hear you!

I told you what I'd do if you turned me down, didn't I?

So please, understand how I feel.

I just...can't.

I'll die.

For real.

If you don't marry me, I'll die.

See? Look at me!

Mr. Homma, please don't be childish.

But I...

Okay, let me do you.

Then I won't die.

Oh come on...

I can't.

You did before!

Please. I don't mind paying again.

Keep your voice down.

But you're all the way up there...

Furuya?

Been there long?

Just got here.

Your movie fell apart, huh?

It was garbage anyway.

Business with your ex-wife?

Nothing major.

What?

Are you two involved?

I've got to raise Hikaru and Keita.

My ex-husband won't pay child support.

I can't afford to be normal.

What do you want?

I need money.

Whatever you can spare.

Could you give me a loan?

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Right.

Your wife...

Is it that serious?

How much?

60 grand.

So much?

Alright.

Wait a while.

Beautiful.

Rinko...

You're lovely.

You like that?

How's that? Do you like it?

How's that?

You like it?

Don't...

It's crooked.

Got to start over.

Feel good?

Here goes.

No...

Don't, please. No...

No...

How's that?

Feels good, doesn't it?

Will this go in? Mind if I try it?

No Mr. Homma, not that...

Alright. I'll use mine then.

Here goes.

Wait.

Don't come here anymore.

You're a scumbag.

You too, shithead.

Huh?

How could you do that to her?

Stop!

You scumbag!

You're the scumbag!

You're a scumbag!

You're a scumbag!

Stop it!

Stop it!

I'm nothing like you!

Just go!

"Friday"

Your receipt. Please pay the rest by the 5th of next month.

"Yukiko Furuya"

It's been a while.

Finish your film shoot?

No.

It got canceled.

Canceled?

That's too bad.

It was your first in years.

Not long ago,

your wife seemed to be talking deliriously at night.

It spooked me, to be honest.

She looks like she's sleeping,

but maybe she knows everything about us.

What about us?

Why play coy?

Stop it.

Why did you screw me?

Stop it.

Running away?

Running from what?

Don't!

Not here!

Not here! It isn't right!

Moan for me! Louder!

Louder!

Feel it!

Louder!

Your wife's watching!

She's...a jealous woman.

So this is for her!

Moan for me!

Yukiko. What do you say? Does it upset you?

Does it upset you?!

Don't do that!

Stop it at once!

Miss Hidaka! For shame!

Get off her!

Get off her!

What are you doing?!

Stop it! What's wrong with you?!

This is a hospital! Stop it!

You idiot!

Doctor?

Doctor!

Yukiko?

"Saturday"

Good morning.

Good morning.

Welcome home.

Why are you here?

You left without saying anything.

How did you find me?

I know everything about you.

Go home.

No.

I'm so hungry, I can't move.

Coming in?

It stinks in here.

I've been gone all week.

Open a window.

Instant's okay, right?

Hey.

You should've told me.

What?

Wasn't that your wife out there just now?

Professor?

I'll take over.

Bring epinephrine and help.

Mrs. Furuya?

Can you hear me?

Mrs. Furuya?
