Original subtitles

It's lacking drama.

Drama?

A romance in real life can't move forward without drama.

"Nooo!" The woman refuses.

"Why not?" The man pulls her in his arms.

I like you the best.

He said that to me, too.

It's nice to have someone to support me.

I wanted to see you today.

Maekawa-kun, give the instruction about the poster to design dept.

- Okay. - What happened to the app. for desplay?

It's been delivered.

Then, the project schedule is on track.

It's going really well as scheduled.

All sections are positive because the project is good.

It means the whole company expects a good result from it.

It was a good thing to invite Takayama-san as a supervisor, wasn't it?

I would like personal advice on romance from him!

Me, too! Me, too!

You want to be told what to do by that cocky man?

What? I thought you two were friends.

Give me a break. It's just work.

You only see your boyfriend, right?

What? Hey, work! Here.

It looks like things are going well with her boyfriend.

That's just your assumption. First of all, why do you want someone so much older than you?

It's not because she is older.

Then, what?

What do you mean, what?

- Hi. - Hi.

Hello. Hm?

What? Something happened?

I went out for a drink with Maekawa-kun and gave him advice the other day.

It looks like he's serious about Nakahara-san.

When did you go out with him?

Just because he wanted to talk to me about Nakahara-san and her boyfriend.

You may start to have feelings for each other while talking about romance problems! It happens a lot.

- No way! - It could happen!

I see. Both romance and work are going well with Nakahara-san.

It's interesting.

Is it?

It's just the beginning, though.

What about the rest?

This is all I have now.

What?

I know what you want to say.

"Is this all after taking so much time?"

I had written a lot more, but something seemed wrong.

So, I deleted it.

Okay. I'll wait patiently.

Thanks.

By the way, you saw it the other day, right?

What?

Ah, I was hiding in the bathroom. I felt like I was a child again.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Now your relationship is on track.

Hah.

Is there a problem?

You should be happy with your love life going well.

That's why.

I get worried because it's going too well.

What are you worried about?

I've always thought that I don't have enough love for a woman.

And that's why it didn't work out with the women in the past.

Umm. It's good to think that you try do something differently from the last time.

But, in romance, you deal with a different person every time.

Just because it didn't work before, it doesn't mean it won't work this time. And vice versa.

What should someone like me do?

There is this famous line from a movie.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."

I've heard it. It's from "Love Story", is it?

It doesn't do any good to look back. You have to look forward.

That's right...

Welcome.

- Hi! - Hello.

I had something to discuss with Takayama-san about work.

Oh, go ahead. I'm done here, anyway.

Okay.

You two are here for a date?

Yes. We are going for lunch after this.

I would appreciate it if you didn't use my work place as a meeting spot for your date.

Sorry.

It's okay. Please feel free to meet here.

If the master says so...

It'll take only a minute.

It's okay. Take your time.

Thank you.

I would like you to take a look at the revised scripts. This one and this one.

It's so pretty. I didn't know there was such a nice spot.

Yes. I always come here alone.

What? But it really is beautiful.

Watching a night view gives me a magical feeling.

It makes me think that every one of those lights has someone's life.

That's right.

I always wondered why I couldn't meet my destiny

when there are so many people in this world.

But,

I don't anymore.

- I'm leaving now. - See you.

Hey!

What do you mean, hey?

Are you still mad about the other day?

Well, I guess you are.

I mean...

It really was unfortunate.

?Unfortunate?. That's a convenient word.

Something very unfortunate happened today as well.

The girl I was dating a while ago told me that she was pregnant.

She wants me to take the responsibility and marry her.

What?

She's lying. It has been over a year since we broke up.

It doesn't add up.

Then just reject her.

That's true, but

I don't want her to make a fuss.

You brought it on yourself.

Don't be so cold.

What should I do to make her go away quietly?

I don't know.

Why do I have to give you advice for another girl to begin with?

You're right. You just seem dependable.

Sorry.

I don't want you to depend on me.

I want you to love me.

Depending is loving, too.

It's so annoying.

Hmm?

Because, I was a little happy that you asked me for advice.

Why am I annoyed and happy at the same time?

That's love.

You...

Ouch!

Yay! You have to say a funny joke.

Hey, Ryo! Aoi!

Have you finished your homework?

Homework? What is it? Does it taste good?

- You make sure to do it, okay? - You do it, okay?

Say a funny joke.

[New message from Sawada sensei]

[I want to see you. Please give me a call.]

[Delete the message?] ["Yes"]

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What is she like?

Oh, is it Miho-chan from the party the other day?

No.

Are you sure? Don't go behind my back and get her.

I know.

- We should tell mom. - I think so, too.

- It's important. - There is no way we can tell her.

How can we just say something like that to her? Idiots!

- Ouch! - It's annoying.

What's wrong?

Oh, no. It's nothing. Right?

- I have to write a report. - I have homework.

That's all for today's meeting.

Good work.

There is something Midori wants to talk to us about.

She said that to me, too. I wonder what it is.

It's not like her.

Maybe something happened to her?

Oh! I can't eat anymore. I feel like I'm puking.

The olive oil is good for blood circulation,

and increases metabolism, which is good for beauty.

It also has antioxidant effect, so makes you younger, too.

You seem happier, Moeko. Did something good happen?

Well, sort of.

You made up with your boyfriend.

You did?

Yeah. But, you never call a girl's gathering, Midori.

Taking care of kids every day can be suffocating, you know?

- We're here to listen to your complaints. - Yeah.

It's not that, never mind.

What? You called us.

Aki, any progress with Ikeda-san? At least a millimeter?

I don't know if it's a millimeter, but...

Do you want to know?

We kissed.

Oh! Finally!

Yeah. A little bit.

- We got no reaction from Moeko. - Right.

I mean, how am I supposed to react to just a kiss at this age?

It's good. She can enjoy a little at a time.

- We're making a progress though! - Sorry.

- And, in what situation?- So, you are interested.

First, at a place where we can enjoy the night view.

Oh, romantic!

And, how was it?

What do you mean, how was it?

How did you feel? Compatible?

That's... Well...

It wasn't good, was it?

You can put it that way.

That's a huge problem. Give me more specifics.

I can't stand a guy who thrust his tongue so far for the first kiss.[What?]

The firs time should be like, we explore each other and gradually get closer.

I know. But, it's not about you now.

Well, I don't know if this answers your question, but...

It was ordinary.

Ordinary?

The "kiss" I think is heart fluttering,

and makes your body hot.

That's what I thought, but it wasn't like that.

After we kissed, we went right back to a normal conversation.

That's not good, because kissing is not a routine work.

I know.

No, Chikuwa!

What are you doing, Chikuwa?

He's sulking because you got a man.

[This woman is keener than she looks.]

Stop it! Why are you drinking like that?

Are you okay? Did something happen?

You called us because you wanted to talk, right? Tell us.

Actually...

What!?

You're saying you did it with your kid's teacher?

I did... or maybe not.

- Oh, my. - How did it happen?

I don't know.

I thought about it, but I can only say it was an accident, or we did it on the spur of the moment.

It happens.

No, it doesn't! He's the teacher of your son!

Why didn't you stop yourself?

I usually do.

Then, why didn't you?

I don't know why.

I thought about it, but I can only say it was an accident, or we did it on the spur of the moment.

We're back to that again.

Not just that, but my kids seem to know about it.

What? Why?

They were looking at me whispering something.

You're paranoid because you did something you shouldn't have.

Maybe.

But, it's all over now.

Are you sure?

Yeah. It won't go any further.

I was really drunk then. It was an accident.

Well, what is the teacher like?

He's a very good teacher.

He is not perfectly dependable, but he's trying so hard for his age.

And, how is he as a man?

I can't look at him that way.

Oh, it's him.[New Message from Sawada sensei]

No secret from us. Show it to us.

"Why have you not called me? I want to see you."

He's so forward.

- I'm not going to see him anymore. - Wait.

You have to see him because he's your son's teacher.

Yeah. There will be events or parent's meetings and stuff.

I'm the worst mother. I can't face my kids.

You don't have to cry. This is something to celebrate.

Stupid! It's not!

They are both single. It's good.

No, it's not. Think about her kids.

You are tied down by common sense.

Common sense is the most important.

Midori is a mother, don't forget that.

You should think harder.

That's right. Aki's right.

I'm a mother.

But, I don't know what to do myself.

I don't know why it happened.

I'm drunk.

I'm going to go now.

Sorry. I was the one who called you.

- Midori. - Hm?

Aki said those things because she cares about you.

I know. See you.

Lady Girls ~Episode 5~

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team@Viki

We have to tell mom today.

Idiot! It's about a man and a woman. It'll be awkward.

Because it's about a man and a woman, we have to talk.

We are a family.

That's true, but...

Let's talk.

What?

Let's have a talk.

We can't have secrets in a family.

You're right.

First of all, say what you want to say. I'll answer anything honestly.

Well...

Pregnant...

I'm not even sure if we did it, let alone being pregnant...

What do you mean if you did it?

What?

Mom, who are you talking about?

What?

Well...

Who are YOU talking about?

Me.

Why are you pregnant?

I got my girlfriend pregnant.

What??

What did you think we were talking about?

What? No. What, the girl you were seeing, Yukari-chan, was it?

That's my ex. I'm dating Madoka now.

You've never told me about Madoka.

It hasn't been that long.

Why weren't you careful? Didn't I tell you many times to be careful?

Sorry.

Well, how did it happen to begin with?

We went with the flow.

Flow... How can you be so irresponsible?

It happens. Yeah.

It's possible you go with the flow.

What's wrong?

You go to the other room.

What? No.

It's adult talk.

Ryo is a part of this family. It'll be good for him to know about this kind of stuff.

Yeah?

When he told us about it, we were like "What should we do?", right?

And, well, are you sure she is pregnant?

- Yeah. - Ahh...

Oh, what am I going to do? First,

yeah. We have to talk with her parents.

And, we have to discuss it with your university.

And... And...

Sorry.

Here. Enjoy.

Thank you.

How did it go with the pregnancy incident?

Oh, it turned out that she was lying after all.

I thought so.

Sorry for having worried you.

I wasn't worried.

Oh, really?

Welcome.

Oh? Moeko-san?

Oh, it's been a long time, Tashiro-san!

Yeah, it has been a long time.

How have you been lately?

Lately, I've been helping with a new work by Scorsese.

Wow. That's amazing.

You're in the film business?

Yes. I go back and forth between Hollywood and Tokyo.

Lately, Chinese market is growing, and the business environment is changing a lot.

Oh, China, huh.

Yes.

He knows so much about books and movies because of his work.

- No, no. - Is that so?

I want to see more movies because it may be useful for my work.

But, I can never find time.

A movie is not something you see to make it useful.

"Don't think. Believe!" It's from "Enter the Dragon"

Wow. That's interesting. I would like to hear more.

Yeah, how about tonight?

But... is it okay?

I have no reason to stop you because I'm seeing other girls, too.

Oh, yeah?

Then, I know a good place owned by my friend. Let's go there.

Yay! I'm excited!

I have to go now because I have a meeting.

Here is your change.

Thank you. Have a good time.

Thank you.

How did I do?

No good. He didn't take it seriously.

I shouldn't have hired you to be my boyfriend. [ Rental Boyfriend- Tashiro Kouichi. 8,000yen/hr ]

I wasted my money.

I am sorry.

Well, what part did I do bad?

You...don't look like a person who works in Hollywood.

I searched on the web since you wanted me to say a dialogue from a movie.

You somehow look very fishy. You need to show more intelligence.

I am sorry, well I tried to look like it.

Intelligence comes out from within.

Ah, there is a writer who stays and writes in that cafe.

He talks about complicated things, but it suits him.

I should have watched and copied him.

Forget it. The plan to make him jealous failed.

If it worked out, I was going to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend in front of my mother as well.

Ah, one more time. Can you give me another chance?

I will do my best in front of your mother.

No way. My mother can't be easily tricked.

She will scrutinize you if I tell her you are my boyfriend.

Well... I'd better not do that then.

I am sorry I couldn't meet your expectations.

Thank you for your time. I will deposit the payment.

Please use us again.

Not anymore.

Thank you very much.

About next Sunday...

- Well, can you... - Eh?

Can you enjoy this atmosphere just a little more?

Ah... You are right.

I am sorry. When I am with you, I don't want to waste any time and rush myself.

I will be careful from now on.

Oh no...

Then...let's do it again.

Eh?

"Let's do it again."

"Ah, no...well..."

Something is not right.

[ Don't practice on me ]

[ I told you not to! ]

Where is your mouth?

I am truly sorry about what my son did.

Apologizing doesn't solve anything.

What will happen to my daughter's future?

He is still a student. How irresponsible of him.

How have you been raising him?

That is...

No wonder. He is from a single parent family.

I am sorry.

Of course, it is Subaru's fault. It is but...

why are they looking down on a single parent family?

Hello?

Glad you answered.

Well, how can I help you?

I am sorry.

Well, Ryo-kun got hurt again.

Eh?

I am sorry for making you come over here when you are busy.

No.. How is Ryo?

It wasn't serious, so he is in class.

Oh, okay.

Well, I have something to tell you.

Is this about the other day?

No.

I want to talk to you as Ryo-kun's homeroom teacher.

I see.

Please have a seat.

Okay.

Well... no.

I am not sure about this yet...

Please tell me what it is.

I am sorry.

Ryo-kun might be being bullied.

What?

He has been hurt more these days, so I was worried about him.

He told me that he fell or did it to himself, but...

when I talked to his classmates,

they said that there is a group who treats him like an enemy.

Why in the world...

I don't think there is a reason for this...

They might just want to relieve stress on him.

What? How can they use my son to relieve stress?

I am sorry. I haven't noticed this until now although I am his homeroom teacher.

What should I do? What can I do?

What should I do now?

We should keep in touch and...

Well, nothing happened on that day.

Don't worry about it.

Anyway, I will make sure to take care of this problem.

Thank you very much.

I am leaving this to you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did we have an appointment?

I brought the revised script.

We changed the epilogue a little bit. Please take a look.

Do you want me to listen?

What?

You look like there is something you want to talk about.

Please.

- Thank you. - Enjoy your coffee.

I think you two are too hesitant in consideration to each other.

Of course it's good to care for each other,

but you will stay distant like strangers if you keep going like that.

Then, what should we do?

How about acting affectionately dependent on him?

Affectionately dependent?

That is an important element in romance.

I guess that's true...

You are not good at that, are you?

I've always tried not to be dependent on other people all my life.

You have to consider romance and other things separately.

It can be anything. You show your weakness and whine.

With no regard to his feelings.

To the extent that you are worried that he might get angry.

I may try that.

You are open minded today.

Thank you.

It feels weird to be thanked.

Why can't you keep the due date? I told you to do it by today.

I'm sorry. I worked as hard as I could.

Well, I'll let the publicity department know.

You work on the data, okay?

Yes.

What?

I was thinking that you are good at being dependent.

Me?

How can you be nicely dependent like you?

Am I that dependent?

See?

- Nakahara-san. We have a problem. - What?

- The price is wrong on this pamphlet. - What?

[Price: 5,000 yen]One zero too many...

Oh, no. It's wrong.

This is what we are handing out at the event tomorrow, right?

We can't distribute ones with a wrong price.

The PR department took care of the pamphlet... well,

I missed it, too, during the final check.

- Can we have them printed again within today? - I don't think so.

We may be able to make it on time if we make correction stickers.

How many copies are there?

10,000.

We can' finish it by tomorrow.

We can, if we work together.

Let's divide the work.

Let's do it. To finish the app. we are all working for.

I'm going out.

Hello.

- Can you print this out, please? - I'll take this.

Please hurry up.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you very much.

Hey.

DId Moeko-san date a man who worked in Hollywood before?

What is that?

I think he's fake.

I don't have time. Sorry.

President? Is there something you are worried about?

No. It's personal.

Nakahara-san is causing such nuisance, isn't she?

Why do we have to stay overtime, too?

Yeah. It's PR's and Nakahara-san's fault to miss it.

It's not our responsibility to fix it, right?

We have to. We're in the same team.

We'll do it because it's work, but she talks about us like friends

by saying "the app. we are all working for." It's a turn off.

- No one thinks that way. - That's right.

Let's go back before Nakahara-san returns.

Okay.

I'm back!

Hi.

I got a phone call from PR, and they are taking care of everything.

Are they?

So, you can go home. It's okay.

- Is it really okay? - It's really really okay.

Oh, good.

- Then, I'll leave the rest to you.- Okay. Good work today.

Good work.

- I'm leaving now. - See you!

See you.

? Someone is calling ? ? I hear someone calling my name ?

? Is it okay to keep my hopes up? ? ? I don't want to be betrayed anymore ?

? So good, but I'm still anxious ?

? I try not to think about it to go to sleep ?

but she talks about us like friends by saying "the app. we are all working for." It's a turn off.

No one thinks that way.

Nakahara-san.

What are you doing?

Well...

You're hungry, right?

Why?

Why... well,

I know everything about you.

What is that about?

I'll help you.

It's okay. I'm almost done.

I'm helping you.

Please don't take it all on yourself.

You should depend on others more.

Let's work together.

Thanks. Then, I'll have a rice ball.

You're gonna eat one?

I got a salmon one. There is a sandwich, too.

Thank you.

How did the date with Tashiro-san go the other day?

It was interesting. He told me a lot about Hollywood.

Yeah?

It's not "believe", but "feel" actually.

What?

A line from "Enter the Dragon".

It's not "Don't think. Believe." It's "Don't think. Feel."

You didn't have to use a cheap trick.

You knew?

Because, you know?

You're quite troublesome. I thought you were more matured.

Are you still up?

I am.

Hello?

Ah... Um...

Sorry for calling you so late.

No. Something happened?

Well...

Are you still at work?

Yes. Please hold on for a minute.

Hello?

Yes. Really? Thank you!

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes. Thank you very much. Bye.

Thank you for waiting.

Looks like you're busy. Am I bothering you?

No. Actually, the work by this author we published last year has been very popular,

and I've been negociating with him to publish his new book. Now it looks like it's actually happening.

Oh, is that so? I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Since I started dating you, my work has been going well.

It got me busy though, because of that.

Well, sorry for calling you at a time like that.

No. I was going to take a break.

Is something wrong?

My work has been going well, too.

I was working without realizing how late it was.

Oh, really?

I admire your positive attitude toward work.

I have to learn from you.

Well, good luck.

Thank you.

Let's go out for dinner again when things calm down.

Yes. Bye.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team@Viki

- Welcome. - Oh, hi.

We're closed for today.

Oh, but I wanted to talk to Takayama-san a little bit.

Why are you here at this hour?

- Then, please lock up. Here. - Alright.

I'm really sorry, master.

No. Take your time.

Thank you. Sorry.

I guess you couldn't do it?

I could not do it.

I tried to depend on him, but he sounded so busy. So, it didn't seem right.

You can't worry about that. You just have to depend on him.

It's easy to say so, but...

Men like that, you know?

Do they?

Men like it when women depend on them or lead them by the nose.

Here.

Thank you.

But I don't think I can do it.

It's not like you... to whine so easily.

What?

Can I ask you something?

What is it, all of a sudden?

You have kissed Ikeda-san, right?

Yes.

Then, another question.

What is your definition of "adult's kiss"?

Definition?

I just want to know your objective opinion.

That's, well...

It is such a thick and...

hot kiss that communicates each other's feeling.

We are not in a rush but take time. Slowly...

and again and again...like this...

Well, like that.

You are mistaken.

What?

Adult's kiss has nothing to do with the number of times or the length of it.

It's more instantaneous and passionate.

You would never understand it.

You're always like that.

You are a man of words. You always talk like you know everything, but do you actually know anything or can you really do anything?

Do I look that way?

Yes, you do.

What are you doing?

I just wanted to show you that I'm not just a man of words.

~Preview~ The next time on Lady Girls...

Be honest to your feelings, okay?

I have something to tell you.

- Did something happen? - Can I see you now?

- I'm jealous. - I'll break up with the other girls.

How much do you earn a year?

What is that money?

I have a part-time job.

I want to help the woman I like.

Please let me take your picture.

Can you take a leave for a while?

You are telling me to sacrifice myeself for the company?

I don't want to get hurt anymore. That's my honest feeling.
