Eggs age rapidly, you know.

If you don't get married soon,

you won't be able to bear children.

To help out with the problem of low birth rate and aging population,

- you'll have to have lots of babies. Right?
- Yes, that's right.

There are clients who say that kind of things.

If you wear your emotions on your sleeve like that,

you won't make it in sales.

She said the interviewer asked her to a hotel

and when she complained to the company, she got scolded that no such thing happens in this day and age.

If I get asked to go to a hotel now, I might go.

What? Come on, tell me the truth. Really?

Okay, everyone. Gather around.

We're going to practice our dance.

- No way. That's gross.
- Yeah, okay.

Sweet and spicy pork saut� is done.

Great. Looks delicious.

This is our current menu.

This is crap.
Crap made by crappy employees with crappy ingredients.

Serving crappy food.
It's a crappy restaurant.

What you're saying is too outrageous.

Excuse me? Outrageous is saying I'll revive you right away so can I kill you?

That's outrageous.

Are you okay with this?
Being at the mercy of this cooking otaku.

Let's have the chef make what she wants.

The French that she's talking about is too hardcore.

- The cost percentage will be close to 50.
- Money is an important factor. But

it isn't the most important thing.

All right.
If you say so.

But why are you the only one wearing a Snuggie?
Are you a chanson singer?

Let's go inside.

Nitta-san!

- Ta ta for now.
- Ta ta for now?

- Is this a gravure idol's blog?
- Nitta-san's back!

Actually, uh...it's not that I came back.

Welcome back.

- I'm back.
- Come on, let's go inside.

It's cold, cold, cold.

Mofuku-chan, welcome back.

Are you doing Shakespeare?

What do you think about doing a cover story

- for next month's issue?
- Just a minute.

Gerald Wang's use of silhouette and colors is beautiful as always.

Date-san's name is synonymous with Harajuku culture.

She's also bringing customers to us.

Come on.
She's taken a liking to you.

Go say hello to her at least.

Hurry up and take this.

Go say hello to her at least.

Excuse me.

Here's your pot-au-feu with potatoes, cabbage, and thick sliced bacon.

I'm sorry, but the chef is tied up at the moment.

That's all right. I understand.

I know the chef here doesn't cook to please everyone.

He's like, you know...?

As long as people who can appreciate it does.
Something like that.

Yes, exactly.

It's delicious.

But if I may be a little picky,

I'd like it to be a bit warmer.

Ah, crap.
Ouch.

- What are you doing?
- I'm sorry.

- Get out of my way.
- I'm sorry.

Date-san was saying that

the pot-au-feu would've been better if it was a little warmer.

I'm gonna throw up.
Do it again.

No good. Do it over.
Out of the question.

Give it up, Idiot.
Piece of shit. Scumbag.

Piece of shit.
Scumbag.

You know the restaurant called Symphonic, right?

The meat that they're using is this 7,000 yen

meat.

This cost 18,000 yen for 100 grams.

That much?
Huh? Huh? Really? That much? Huh?

No good. Do it over.

- I hope you burn the roof of your mouth.
- I hope the juice from the orange squirts in your eye.

- I hope your wooden chopsticks split crooked every time.
- I hope your touch screen

responds slowly for the rest of your life.

That's pathetic. Akimoto Osamu Sensei

never once in 38 years missed an installment of "Kochikame", you know.

Are you talking about the Showa era again?

Heisei kids have their girls' night out at a love hotel, don't they?

Not Mofuku-chan.

- Because she's inexperienced.
- Shut up, you divorc�e to be.

Stop being so snippy.

This year, Heisei born kids will be "ara-saa"* too.
(*around 30 - between the ages of 27 and 33)

Showa or Heisei, everyone will eventually be around 30, 40, 50...

Say, where did Tanaka go?

- I'm right here.
- Where's Paaka-chan?

- I'm here.
- The hospitality person gets cold easily and

the chef shuts herself in.
Will this restaurant make it?

Everyone. We will finally reopen tomorrow.

Half of the menu items have changed, but

I believe we can serve them with confidence.

Oh, Karasumori-san. That's right.
That thing over there on the shelf.

- Can you get that paper bag for me?
- What?

Get yourself out of there.
Paper bag?

Thanks.

Here. You can wrap this around here or whatever.

- Take the one that you like.
- Thank you.

I like this one here.

I'm taking this.
You get a late start because you shut yourself in.

- May I have blue?
- I want purple.

Which one do you want, Nitta-san?

Okay.

I hope we get a lot of customers.

There's nothing we can do about it.
I'm sure it will clear up tomorrow.

Is someone here a rain woman?

Not me, not me.
I'm more of a snow woman...

This is great.

- Isn't it?
- What are you doing?

Look. I created a website to attract customers.

"Welcome to the home page of Bistro Fou"

This home page is from the early days of the internet.

Why is that blinking?

What's with this Home button in the shape of a house.

And is this Pastry Chef's Travel Diary necessary?
It's under construction anyway.

You'd be better off

passing out fliers in the neighborhood.

Nitta-san.
Nitta-san.

Oh, Nitta-san!

What are you doing?
What are you doing? Huh? Huh? Huh? What...

Why are you running away? Why are you running away?
Nitta-san, why are you running away?

- Welcome.
- Table for one.

- I'm meeting someone.
- Welcome.

- Nitta-san, what are you doing tonight?
- I'm going to a memorial service.

Memorial service?

- Nitta-san, you're funny.
- Am I?

There's nothing funny about being told that I'm funny.

Our restaurant's closed today and we're have a drinking party tonight

with some struggling good-looking actors.
Why don't you come too?

- I will not.
- You sure?

Nitta-san, I think you should experience being in love more.

Oh, I haven't ordered yet.

Is what you're doing on a daily basis considered being in love?

This place has an extensive selection of tarts.
Huh? What was that?

I mean, I don't really know, but just from watching...

and I'm not just talking about Kawana-san, but

there are girls who, you know,
guys just mess around with.

That person may think she's seriously in love, but

they're just in a physical relationship,

like the guy isn't really serious about her.

Nitta-san.

That's creepy.

Thinking that guys are messing around with you when you sleep with them.

Seriously, you're crazy.

You really don't want to come?

Nitta-san has a stomachache so she's off today.

Don't tell me she has food poisoning?

When a customer gets food poisoning,

we have to shut down the restaurant, right?
What if an employee comes down with it?

Are you stupid? Are you that stupid?
Are you guys stupid?

Oh, that's right.

We all ate the same thing, huh?

Good afternoon. Welcome.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Hey.

Come on in.

Nitta-san? Nitta-san.
Hey, hey, hey...

Nitta-san, don't run away.

This is Yumi-chan~.

I think enjoying a good meal

can change your world into a more beautiful place.

- I agree.
- Right?

This is pot-au-feu with potatoes, cabbage, and thick sliced bacon.

Ah, thank you.

I think there's another word to praise food

other than delicious.

Warm.

I'm not talking about the temperature.

I think there's such a taste.

- It's warm.
- Thank you!

A dear friend of mine is having a birthday party on Friday.

Can I make a reservation for 8 people?

Yes, of course. Thank you.

For actors, living itself is art.

Yumi-chan, you have pretty hands.

- Really?
- They're artistic hands.

Let me see.
You're very cute.

Here, have a drink.

Never mind this anymore.

Cheers. Cheers.

Looks like your friend's really enjoying herself.

It must be nice to feel like you're in Africa

just by taking a ride on Jungle Cruise.

You've been drinking quite a bit, huh?

- Not really.
- I'm leaving pretty soon.

You're not having fun, huh?

I guess not since you're just drinking with your co-worker.

Kawana-san, you have a bald spot.

Found a bald spot.

Oh...from a while ago.

When we went to the Ghibli Museum, I got hit by the guy who was my boyfriend at the time.

And I hit my head on the sculpture of the Giant God Warrior.

He hit you?

I have a knack for making people mad.

Oh, there's this one too.
I got shoved in Roppongi.

And I crashed into that sculpture of a giant spider.

Hard enough the sculpture moved a little.

- Good night.
- Good night.

He always ends up taking the best one home.

I'm going home too.

- Good night.
- See ya.

Take her home, okay?

Kawana-san.

I work 3 days a week at the restaurant and 3 days a week at the office, right?

I'm starting to feel somewhat run down.
Like yesterday,

I started crying while watching
an animal rescue video on YouTube.

That's because you're a hard worker.

Don't overexert yourself.

Oh, that's right.
What about hot springs sometime soon?

Ah, that's a good idea. Right?
Isn't that a good idea?

Thanks.

Are you leaving?

- Thank you!
- Oh, my keys.

You two look good together.

Do you really think so?

No, I mean the gentleman on this side.

You know, he looks kindhearted.

Ah...he's somewhat the type I dislike.
I'm like, who asked you to be nice to me.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

- Do you know that song I was singing?
- No, I don't.

It's a song called "Precious Love" by ATSUSHI of EXILE.

Haven't you heard it on the commercial?
Oh, what's her name. That really cute girl.

Who was that? You know, the girl who sheds tear from her left eye...

Oh, was that today? Oh, crap.
Take care.

Good morning!

- Where the hell were you?
- I'm sorry.

- You're useless.
- I'm sorry.

- Get your ass moving.
- Right away.

- Good morning.
- Oh, good morning.

That was fun yesterday, wasn't it?

Ah...thank you for the treat.

Good morning.

When are you going to let me do it?

What kind of a greeting is that?
Chief, you're looking stylish today.

Oh yeah?
I'm going to my daughter's ballet recital.

Oh, really? She's learning ballet?

Kawana-chan.

- Your skin is glowing today as always.
- Good morning.

Say, say. How true do you think this is?

You can still do it! A Course for 60-ish Men on How to Seduce Girls in their 20s.

- I'm not sure.
- Oh, that's right.

Date-san canceled her reservation for Friday.

- You mean the birthday party?
- Yes.

- Why?
- I don't know.

- She said, "Sorry, next time."
- You know, I saw

Date-san go into that Tanaka-san's restaurant.

What? Hey, Monji-kun.
Monji-kun.

She's pretty, isn't she?

Who are you talking about?

We're going to be supplying meat to that rooftop restaurant too.

Yes, all right.

- What do you think about this?
- Wow, it's beautiful.

Sanwa Foods just called and said they can't supply the meat to us.

- What?
- Why?

- He just said the deal didn't go through.
- But the other day

- he really liked our restaurant.
- He got pressured. Those scumbags!

Why do you only want to talk about cost percentage?

Actually, what I'm trying to say is,

maybe we can display a sculpture or something here instead of these artificial flowers.

I don't like sculptures.

Let's spend more money on food.

Why would you say something like that?

Lunch is over.

There's something we'd like to ask.

- Meat thief.
- Huh?

You exerted pressure, didn't you?
Die.

She tells me to die out of nowhere.

- I'm gonna kill you.
- Ah, we can't have you killing.

Die might be okay, but killing is...

Fall into the Dark Palace.

What's the Dark Palace?

Does Sanwa Foods ring a bell?

Look. Why would we exert pressure on a bunch of amateurs

playing restaurant at that wind-swept place...

- Of course we're exerting pressure.
- Wha...

- Don't you think that's unfair?
- Dirty bastards.

I thought you guys were amateurs, but obviously you're worse than amateurs.

Cooking starts from obtaining the ingredients.

There's no such thing as unfair or dirty.

Those without power can't even stand at the starting line. That's the way it works.

Stop depending on others.

Date-san is my customer.
I'll get her back no matter what.

Okay, go on, get outta here.

If you don't leave, I'm gonna touch your boobies.

Okay, let's leave now.

Or would you rather I touch your butt?

Okay, I'm going to my daughter's recital now.

- I don't care how much money you spend.
- You want them crushed, right?

As flat as a pancake.

Oui, monsieur.

Fish is fine too, of course, but since it's for a birthday party,

I don't think it's good to be too conservative.

Monk fish.

- Go buy me monkfish.
- Monk fish?

Oh, monkfish. Good idea.
You can only eat it this time of the year too.

- Plus, there's something special about it.
- I don't think you'll find any in Tokyo.

Specialty restaurants take them first.

Huh? Then where can we get one?

Do we have to go that far so that he gets it?

- Kids these days.
- It's unbelievable.

- He's useless.
- Seriously, that's what you gotta do.

Do you want a piece of gum?

Blood.
You're bleeding.

I'm sorry. You got into trouble because I fell asleep at karaoke and you were late, right?

I'm sorry.
Oh no, I'm running late.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.

Anyway, I wish I was born in the Kanto area too.

Gunma is the best, though.
Oh, which high school did you go to?

Just a regular prefectural high school.

Did you go through the whole thing?

- The whole thing?
- Yes, the whole thing.

- Oh, you mean graduate?
- Yes, yes.

- I did.
- Wow, you must be smart.

You did, huh? I mean,
I'm just a useless guy, so

it's like you're from a different world.

You're smart, and you look like a young lady from a good family.

It's an honor to give someone like that a ride.

Today's starting out to be a good day.

You'll pass your interview for sure too.

Do you want to listen to some music?
Like Sandaime...oh.

Nothing like that, right?
A young lady like you listen to, uh...

- things like violin, right?
- I do.

- It's not that different from what you listen to.
- Oh, is that right?

Do you listen to music like Sandaime?

In college, I focused on the research of marketing the expansion of a restaurant chain nationwide.

By collecting geographic data of over 5,000...

That's fine. Thank you.

Please tell us your track record at your prior workplace.

What's the matter?

I don't have any.

Don't have any, huh?

Is that so? Even though you're a Todai graduate.

That makes things difficult for us.

I was planning to start my own business.

Once I acquired the know-how and connection,

I was planning to resign
and start my own business.

But when I actually started working, I was perceived as

an arrogant and useless person who was only book smart.

Why do you think such a misunderstanding occurred?

It wasn't a misunderstanding.
I'm basically a useless person.

Then...what are you?

I'm...

I'm...

green.

When I was in kindergarten, "Sailor Moon"...

there was an anime called "Sailor Moon."

We used to play pretend
in the playground all the time, but

everyone usually chose Sailor Moon

and Sailor Mercury.

I always got Sailor Jupiter who was left until the end.

The image for Sailor Jupiter was green.

Colors were taken in order.

When the girls divvied up things that were sorted by colors like red and pink,

I was always the one choosing green.

Or should I say, I pretended that I chose to take green.

I couldn't understand the girls who could choose red and pink without reservation.

How many times have you gone through life, I thought.

This is only my first time,
so I can't say I want red.

Sailor Moon in the anime fought against enemies, but

but in the girls' pretend game of Sailor Moon,

it's a fight between Sailor Moons.

After I grew up,
I learned a different expression for that.

"A woman is another woman's worst enemy."

Since that made me a loser already to begin with,

when the other girls were choosing things like fashion and love, I chose to study.

I didn't like it, but I chose to study because that's what was left.

When I was accepted into the University, my friends and family all praised me.

But even as they praised me,

"that's odd for a girl" kind of nuance was tacked onto it.

When I joined the company and was getting ready to work hard at what I wanted to do,

we had Tepra label printer training.
For some reason,

only the female employees had to go to this Tepra training.

My colleague told me,
"Men can get love from women if they win, but

women get no love from men if they win."

The only way women can be the victor

is by abandoning the idea of winning or losing and being chosen by men. Wait a minute.

That means I can never win, I thought.

Because I'm green, I thought.

How I wished that red and pink and green were all black.

I wished that there was a black Sailor Moon.

Go on.

And so

probably because I didn't want to see myself as that kind of person,

I was looking down at and looking up to all kinds of things.

But recently,
I started a part-time job at a restaurant.

Why?

Oh, uh...I was kinda concerned.

How did it go?

They said

to come again tomorrow for the final interview.

You did it!

It's awesome, awesome. Really awesome.

Maybe I'll just call in sick today.

Let's go.

Here you go, missy.

- Yum~.
- Missy, got one.

Look.

I bet you're hungry, huh?
Somewhere close by okay?

The Italian over there.

Monji-san, you're hungry too, aren't you?

Are you perhaps bothered by what Date-san said?

I don't think it was lukewarm at all.

- It's not about the temperature.
- Huh?

Here's a coin.

- What? Why?
- Look inside your pocket.

That's amazing. Amazing.

It's no biggie.

- Are you a good-looking actor too?
- Naw, naw.

I'm just a dishwasher.

And with the parties, it's like
I'm in charge of gathering the girls.

- Do you like doing that?
- I don't know if you can say I like it.

No, why would I like doing that.

I'm only doing it because I can't do anything else.

I can't do anything either.

Cute girls don't have to do anything.

- Besides, I'm not cute.
- Yes you are.

- You're first-class.
- You're about the only one

- who'd say something like that.
- Believe me, you're cute.

Ah~ You took me by surprise.

Oh my God, you surprised me.

Don't I have what it takes?

I thought I was getting good vibes.

- I'm kinda hurt.
- No, no...

I was getting good vibes too, but...

Rio: You left the laundry hanging outside.

Was that...

Was that...

Hoshino-san, just a minute.

I'd like to go to Sandaime's live sometime too.

Say, Hoshino-kun.
How long would it take to get to Shinagawa?

Hey, hey. Hoshino-kun. Wake up. Please.

Good morning.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Good morning.

Yumi-chan...
I have a favor to ask.

I bought you Jasmine tea.

- I promise I'll pay you back right away.
- The tea's warm, isn't it?

You know, I just thought of

- a really good plan for the future.
- Oh, really? Sorry, I don't have time right now.

See you. I'll give you a call.

Oh, Nitta-san. Hi...

Mofuku-chan stayed out all night and came back as Kanreki-chan*.
(*kanreki - turning 60 years old, when traditionally, they wear a red vest)

Sanzenin-san, it's disgusting how you get fired up all of a sudden.

I'll go change right away and help.

Oh, that's unusual.
For you to take the initiative to help.

Well, I don't think
I'll be coming here too much longer.

Did you get the job?

Or rather, I'm finally thinking about actually starting a business.

Since I've found someone like a partner.

1 hour left until opening.

Let's get fired up.

Let's do it!

It cleared up for the birthday party, huh?

Go as a customer and check them out.

Will I get reimbursed?
I will, right?

- Monk fish liver. Monk fish liver.
- Don't even think about it.

I didn't go and almost freeze to death for your sake.

Wow, this is great.

- Wow. Look, look. This is awesome.
- Good evening and welcome.

Good evening.
It's even more lovelier than I imagined.

- Thank you. This way please.
- This way.

Please take your seat here.

- Please use this if you'd like.
- Thank you.

- Please use this.
- Thank you.

- She's coming, she's coming.
- I have the order for 8 people.

Chef's Choice.

We're going to be using monkfish for everything.

Monkfish liver terrine. Marinated skin.
Jelled broth aspic.

Tomato soup with tripe.
Bacon wrapped saut� with orange sauce.

Bouillabaisse. That's it.

Haiji-san, please slice the terrine.

Nitta-san, please get out 8 plates.

Sanzenin-san, please take the aspic out of the mold.

Which goes better with monkfish?

This one.

This is your wine.

This Crozes-Hermitage from the Rhone region is...

Coming through.

Coming through.

Monkfish liver terrine,
marinated skin are up.

Terrine, marinated skin are up.

Ready to go.

This is terrine with monkfish liver

- and marinated monkfish skin.
- Looks good.

- It's delicious.
- Thank you.

Taking.
Coming through.

Olive oil here please.

- Taste this, please.

- It's ready to go.
- Where's the herb oil?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Bacon wrapped saut� with orange sauce is ready.

This is tomato soup with monkfish tripe.

Good evening. Welcome.

Table for one, please.

Why is The Ear here?

She probably came to show off her ear.

I bet she came to spy on us.

Remember, she's our customer.

Lightly marinated eggplant.
Detox salad with seasonal greens.

And she'd also like to have pasta with some kind of tomato base.

Pasta?

That woman...right off the bat,

she orders something that's not on the menu.

This is monkfish bouillabaisse.

It's warm.

Thank you.

Lightly marinated eggplant is up.

Oh, Tama-chan's at the table.
Mofuku-chan, please take this.

Excuse me.

Here's your lightly marinated eggplant.

Oh, Nitta-san. Are you all right?

What do you mean?

I was just wondering if you were all right.
Never mind if you're all right.

I was just concerned.

What are you talking about?

- Never mind, it's nothing.
- Okay.

Don't expect too much from men
is what I'm saying.

It's delicious.

Don't you have any expectation?

I just expect ice to be in the freezer.

It's no use expecting more than that from men.

But I guess it's no use giving advice to

- someone who doesn't like me. You don't like me, right?
- Yes.

That's okay. Don't worry about it.
It happens all the time.

I think you may have the wrong idea.

The reason I dislike you isn't because you're flashy.

- What are you talking about?
- I dislike you because you act like you're stupid.

- Do I really?

I don't like you because you're putting into practice the idea that it's best for women to be stupid.

Shouldn't you be going back?

You don't even believe in it, but you're in a sect

that makes you say "my specialty is niku-jaga*."
(*niku-jaga - comfort food, beef and potato stew)

I don't like you because you're in a sect that makes you say

cheating is all right as long as you don't get caught.
I don't like you because

you're in a sect that makes you think you're in the wrong when your boyfriend hits you.

I know you want to join it too.

Why don't you admit you've lost?

There's nothing you can do if a man pins you down by brute force.

- Is everything all right?
- It's delicious.

Can I bring you something to drink?

All done.

Bring the cake back once
after the candles are blown out.

I'll cut it here.

Mofuku-chan, pasta's up.

Mofuku-chan?

This is your tomato pasta with shrimp.

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

I'll go get the cake cut.

Excuse me.

Thank you so much for the dinner tonight.

It was a birthday party for a dear friend.
We went through a lot of hard times together

so I'm just delighted.

I'm really glad I chose this restaurant.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Tanaka, are you crying?

I'm not crying.
But I'm happy.

Mofuku-chan, take this please.

Your bald spot's showing.

Hoshino-kun

has a girl he's living with.

He also owes her a lot of money.

If you let him do it before you start dating,
he won't date you anymore.

He was messing around with you.

Stop it!

Are you all right?
Stop that! Stop!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop, stop!

I'm terribly sorry.

That customer will never come back.

I'm gonna kill her. She's dead.

- I'm gonna kill her.
- Wait, Paaka-chan.

- I'm gonna kill her!
- Hold it for a minute. Calm down.

Sit down.

Why?

I don't want to talk about it.

I'll move out.

I won't let you move out!

I won't let you leave this mess behind
and move out!

Let's hang in there.
Let's give it another shot!

Let's hang in there.

Let's give it another shot!

Let's hang in there! Okay?
Let's hang in there!

That's why I should've ate the monkfish liver when I had the chance.

My granddaughter asked me to buy her the costume.

Ah, Sailor Moon made a comeback recently, didn't it?

I used to play pretend games all the time when I was a kid.

Like, "In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"?

That's the lead character.

Usually, I was Sailor Jupiter.

- What color is that?
- It's green.

Most of the time,
that was the only color that was left.

- Good job today.
- You too.

You changed the opaqueness of your tights.

60 denier?

- That might be just right.
- Thank you.

Here. Choose wherever you like.

Really?
Was Monji-san still around?

The two of us are going.

Why are you and I going to the hot springs together?

You've been wanting to go, right?

Well, yes. I do want to go to the hot springs.

No need to be shy.

We're dating, after all.
